something that people really dont understand about ADHD is that we dont “jump from one idea to the next”

we have very fast, very associative minds that connect ideas. we have a train of thought, it just goes WAY faster than yours!

example: im thinking about dogs. that makes me think of pitbulls, which makes me think of an animal planet show i enjoy. the show connects to tv in general, which makes me think of my favorite cartoon. i associate my favorite cartoon with art and animation, and i wind up thinking about shading techniques.

TL;DR: having ADHD is kinda like playing a lifelong game of 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

…WHAT THE FUCK

I am plagued by this but also that associative learning makes it really easy to be a hyper-generalist in terms of skills and knowledge.

This is how my brain works….

The downside is, very few people can keep pace with these jumps, and I’ve actually been told my “mind leaps” are annoying.

Yeah.

Let that sink in.

Being told that the way my mind makes connections between Point A and Point D while seemingly bypassing B and C is “annoying”.

… this.

It drives my husband absolutely NUTS- we’ll be having a conversation and in a lull between sentences I’ll have jumped ahead six topics, pop back in with a “Yeah, and-“

Meanwhile, he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. To him, whatever I’ve just said is a total non sequitur, but I can track EXACTLY how I got there… it just doesn’t make any sort of sense to anyone but me.

Finally seeing this in words is very therapeutic for me

This explains so many things about how my mind works that I’ve never understood until now.

If the earth had rings, would we see them when it was night? It’s a stupid question but still

astronomyblog:

Yes, just as the moon reflects the light of the Sun, the rings also reflect. But perhaps they would not be like the rings of Saturn, they would be smaller because the Earth has the gravity smaller than the one of Saturn to hold them and also they would not be made of ice, because they would be closer to the Sun. There is a specific point in the System Solar known as “ice line” or “snow line”. This is the point in the Solar System, where ice deposits could have survived for long periods of time. Any closer and the radiation from the Sun sublimates the ice away. Instead, the rings could be made of rock and dust.

In case anybody now suddenly wants Earth to have rings as much as I suddenly want Earth to have rings.

Writing Commissions?

bookwormmedz:

My friend once told me that people do writing commissions? 

Can I have some advice on how those work for those who know about them? Maybe get some thoughts on how I should price them, word count and subject? 

Also, I was interested in offering my service to help people write for their comics or other mediums. Anyone know anything about that too? Thanks guys! 

If you’re interested in me doing writing commissions, please let me know! Other than that, requests and the such are ALWAYS free of charge.

In wanting to design ice skating uniforms for Hellsing, I thought Id have to make a special design for Pip because of his braid. With all the spinning and movement……… but then I realized its perfect.

His entire routine can REVOLVE around manipulating the movements to flip that frolicking braid around that every time he’s in pause his hair ends up in some perfect formation or another

Please do this I need ice dancer Pip in my life

SOME FUCKER SAID PLAGUE AND PLAGUE DOCTOR

Ya the bird design was very much a deliberate choice based upon medical believes of the time. The idea that birds carried the plague the idea was to both draw it from the patient as well as scare it from them also.
This was also why they often had tinted lenses too as they also thought plague could be communicated throw nasty/dirty looks and it served as another means of protection.
The very image of the plague doctor was also visual communication. Often communities didnt know plague was in their midst until a Plague Doctor was spotted. It also made them much easier to visually recognize and avoid.
