I Wonder If Mutuals Ever Think This About My Posts

IT'S BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! I like her in bfdia not so much in tpot but her human ver is so fun to draw

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

Lace Code Only For Doc Martens??

I've heard this too many times, with some different variations here and there too like " If your punk you have to have doc Martens," "doc Martens are the only punk combat boots" blah blah blah

like they aren't so expensive!! T-T. Good for you guys if you can afford it but Im a little confused why a movement for the poor working class is prioritizing buying expensive shoes to be part of the community. Thoughts?

hey there.... *leans on car*

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

that world... GASP OWL HOUSE MOMENT ANIME WORLD WHERE ZIRA IS GONNA FLIP but soon realized its not that great

Absolutely loved the pilot! I think a fun aspect of this whole concept is the inherent fusion of American cartoons and anime, which means that a full series could potentially draw from the tropes of both. Are there any favorite tropes you'd like to do with these characters? Valentine's Day/White Day drama? A class festival, somehow? Everybody gets shrunk down to microscopic size and goes inside somebody's body? Body swap? Beach episode?

No particular episode tropes in mind but the characters all very heavily lean on anime tropes for their personalities! Aika and Eclipse especially since they’re from that world (or at least Eclipse acts like he does)

Aika’s has a lot of shonen protagonist tropes (being food motivated, a bit dense and socially inept etc.). Zira’s a bit more down to earth and meant to be the audience surrogate. But I mean she’s still the otaku trope for sure haha.

Definitely wanted to have those tropes to make it FEEL anime-ish despite the cartoonier style. That’s why it was important for me to get anime VAs hehe

Did anyone else randomly develop depression at age 9 when thinking about the meaning of life and since then the reasons to have it have only continued to stack up on top of each other with trauma after trauma but oh randomly im fine now but its not like I healed or anything I just dont care
