Books of 2024: ADHD FOR SMART ASS WOMEN: HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR NEURODIVERGENT BRAIN by Tracy Otsuka.

I saw this on a new release promotional email and thought "well shit, that looks like my life, I should Investigate That™," only to realize it was a brand new hardback and I didn't want to pay $29 for 200 pages of information. Since I found out about it on release day, my next thought was, "Oh, I can check and see if my library has any copies!! We love supporting our libraries in this house!!"

Reader: They did Not.

But! I did find the "request a book" option on their website, and I entered this book, and I got a robocall within a week saying my hold was ready to be picked up! Y'all!! The library literally ordered this book for me (it was stamped into circulation one (1) day before they called me!), and now I have it to read! I love libraries!!

(book pic featuring the super cute coaster set @asexualbookbird made me that I love with my entire heart!!)

#books of 2024 #book photography #adhd for smart ass women #tracy otsuka #did i flinch a little bit at the gendering?? perhaps.#however. i suspect. despite that. it will STILL have so much information relevant to me #i've only flipped through it briefly so far but i'm fascinated about the nutrition section so i'll be reading the shit out of that #i have less than 14 days i need to get on this lol #in my defense: i was trying to finish falcon #and next up is dragon #i did not think a library book would be first on my New Books of 2024 list but here we are #i really do still want to read the architecture books and a BUNCH OF OTHER SHIT #gotdamn dragon is such a chonker #i'll be reading bitch queen forever i think #khine my beloved #anyway i don't think i can speedread this and i don't really want to??#i'm gonna have to take Notes #on anything i want to remember #we'll see if there's much in there or not *eyes*

🪞 Fallen angel... who do you see staring back from the Mirror? 🪞

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Galacta Knight and my personal interpretation of his Mirror World counterpart. GK hovers above facing slightly to our left, his feathery wings spread wide, shaded in lilac and tipped with gilded wing talons, a swallow-like tail visible. He holds his shield forward in his left hand (our right) and his lance to the side in his right (our left), a single magenta eye leering at the viewer through the visor of his mask. A halo of heart spears floats and shines angelically behind his horns. Below him, M!GK hovers in the same pose but flipped horizontally and without the halo. Visually, M!GK has mostly the same features as GK, with his color palette being darker and less saturated (dusty purple body, dark gray armor, gray mask, maroon lance, rose-gold horns and weapons accents). His eyes are not visible in the shadow of his mask, but there are signs of erosion running down the metal surface in rusty orange lines, almost like tear tracks. Instead of feathery wings, M!GK has wings composed of jagged shards of pink crystal, glittering and lit from within by a luminous glow. A few pale feathers can still be seen peeking out from his back. END ID.)

Hey, so... what if... I went a little insane for a minute? What if I just... concepted a character... for the sequel... to an AU... I've told no one about... and haven't even finished writing yet? What if I then... pulled the salt shaker labeled "ANGST" out of the pantry and just... unscrewed the cap all over this poor lad? Oh, and Galacta Knight's here, too, I guess.

Sketch started 02/21/24, render started 03/01/24, finished 03/06/24.

another day, another j7 scene that makes me feel insane

#insane + turned on at the same time. it's a terrible predicament #olivia watches voyager #j7 #seven of nine #kathryn janeway #star trek voyager #i think janeway Did need to hear this im ngl.....#like the fact that she clearly takes it on board + it affects how she proceeds with the doctor confirms that imo #and seven was making good points!#i'm glad she advocated for the doctor #bc it did feel like the whole crew was regressing a bit in their treatment of him recently idk #voyager's continually grappling with this tension between 'giving' someone their freedom/encouraging them to explore it #and then abruptly retracting that freedom when it's convenient #e.g. obvs the doctor with the memory wiping + the fairly regular 'i'm gonna deactivate ur programme' threats #seven with the 'ur an individual but there's also ever-shifting parameters to ur individuality' etc #also 'ur an individual but we will harvest u for nanoprobes on demand + ur objection will be noted but ignored' lol #but also tom in a recent ep of s5 - janeway bringing up how she freed him from the penal colony #+ also b'elanna in s5 - janeway barely giving her 2 seconds to recover #before ordering her to 'move on' from her anger re: that holo cardassian operating on her #it's like. yes all starfleet ships have their hierarchy + individual freedom exists in tension with that #but bc there's such an amalgamation of characters on voyager #from backgrounds that aren't starfleet/aren't strictly starfleet #and that - by their presence on the ship - have been 'indebted' in some way from the beginning #it all feels even more complicated #anyway why have i just written all these tags lol <3

Never understood why there were so many redesigns of these bitches,

until I read the source material and realised that holy shit, "I probably can do better" is a powerful drug

#random.dusty #13 cards #13 карт #land of kings #redesign incoming???#not my art #fyodor nechitailo #fedor comix #phoenix stidio #фёдор нечитайло #федор нечитайло #федор комикс #фёдор комикс #студия феникс #фёдор на 9 #земля королей #зк #i am FULLY aware that he criticised his own designs (afaik) but that doesn't mean that people can't try to draw these fuckers their own way #just a quick note: i'm not going to take it seriously. it's gonna be pure style over anything else because that department is lacking(to me)#also i have watched зк video comic when it came out — i distinctly remember watching the first chapter #so it's not out of the blue bandwagon hopping: no; i used to be interested in fyodor's projects. i watched this guy #i watched his draw requests from his followers so i hope i have some merit as to when i'm saying that he might not have been as good as i #- and many others - thought #think of it as an exercise: i'm doing it just because i can and hope to make it at least subjectively better than original

falin's harpy form is Bangin. as i'm sure everyone is already aware. i'm sure everyone who's been telling me to read dungeon meshi has been waiting with bated breath for me to discover just how bangin falin's harpy form is, so rest assured: Wowza. I'd Like To Thank The Academy,

anyway. i'm pretty sure too much plot and drama and murder-horror is gonna get in the way for this to happen, but there's a canon divergence in my head where falin and laois get into a huge shouting match not long after this high-stakes harpy fight because laois is like "if you hadn't saved me then I'D be the one with the sickass harpy form, i can't believe you let yourself get eaten and you DON'T EVEN HAVE A VORE KINK" and falin is like "......YOU ARE AN INSANE PERSON??? I'D TELL YOU TO GO TO HELL IF YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT'S HEAVEN.....??"

#though i should note this read on laois is based on knowing several spoilers about his arc. i'm not being apollo or anything #that said i know very little about falin's arc or personality thus far. i just know she's a fuckoff powerful magician with a bangin #harpy form. sitting here furiously taking notes about how i need to make both devin and nova weirder and scarier.#so chances are falin would not fucking say this under any circumstances.#but let me shitpost about sibling relationships. before i meet her as a nice girl who probably doesn't yell at people #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #laois #falin #i'm not gonna liveblog the entire thing i'm just gonna make text posts when i have something exceptionally stupid to say.

Oh you hate canonically strongly hinted at ships and say "there's nothing" because you're a complete retard who thinks you can date a fictional character who isn't real lmao. Classic. Please wake up to reality sometime kiddo <3

buddy this is a selfshipping blog I started almost six years ago. if you're gonna come to the circus and complain that there's a clown here then you're a little late to the party I think

#on a different note #I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that this might be the same person as the last anon I answered here #the grammar is a little different but it still has the same kind of tone #and I didn't tag my very latest post with any fandom/character tags which means you couldn't have stumbled upon it by accident #so the only other thing I can think of is that you've been hanging out here for some reason or another #which is very flattering but I'm not really sure what else you're expecting to see here 🤔#ooh this is fun to try and figure out. it's like I'm playing my own ace attorney case lol #marshmallow answers

made myself emotional thinking about how smart sora actually is and how little credit he gets for it just because he struggles with stuff like math

#ITS RELATABLE OK #you can't math and everyone immidietly goes 'lol ur dumb'#'haha he counts on his fingers' yeah so do i. you gonna call me dumb too?#because i've heard it before and you're wrong. i'm unlearning that shit and i'm not dumb. i'm smart as hell actually #thirty years of thinking i was stupid i think i've earned the right to say 'nah yknow what. they were wrong. i'm not.'#the prioritizing of mathematical smarts over every other kind drives me nuts tbh #artistic intelligence? emotional intelligence? kinetic learners? there's so much more than just math #sora is SO GOOD at a lot of things!!#he's incredibly intuitive and emotionally intelligent #and he is probably a legit genius in terms of like... learning things on the fly #never gonna get over him learning lingering wills moves after fighting him (presumably) once #he learns to fly the gummiship- and probably would have done fine that first time if donald hadn't taken offence #(it also should be noted that i don't think sora's ever *wrong* in his numbers*. it just takes him a while to get there)#(* except six hearts but uh. there's probably more going on there. like memory loss. again)#stop talking to yourself flight #kingdom hearts #'he can't keep up with the plot' bitch WE as the audience can barely keep up with the plot and we have the benifit of seeing all of it #do remember that sora is running on about a third of the information we have at any given time #anyway sora isn't dumb he just has adhd and that's the hill i'm gonna die on

"Write what you know!!!" well good job now I'm writing a fic with nerd notes in the bottom

#no seriously. I'm gonna have to learn to use that ao3 resource that allows you to click on the little reference number #and it takes you to the end notes #I am aware that the saying ends with 'so know interesting things'. and it is interesting.#to me exclusively.#sketchbookweek progress #not hilda #wife speaks

finally saw Dune Part 2 again and decided to keep track of when/if characters' names are said on-screen for the first time. in order:

Leto Atreides - right away in Irulan's opening monologue

Rabban - early on, addressed as "Lord Rabban" by underlings. his first name is never said and iirc he's never directly referred to as a Harkonnen either.

Jamis - once the Fremen bring his body into the sietch, multiple people exclaim his name, including several subtitled lines in their language ("You killed Jamis!")

Stilgar - shortly upon returning to the sietch, in council with the elders. his name is said often compared to other characters, possibly the most frequently in the film?

Paul - approximately 30 minutes into the film, addressed by Jessica once she wakes up after her Water of Life ordeal

Chani - approximately 40 minutes in, called out by Paul during the Fremen attack on Harkonnen harvester scene

(Usúl and Muad'Dib - in quick succession during Paul's naming scene after the successful attack, approximately 45 minutes in)

(Sihaya - in the following scene)

(Paul Atreides - by Irulan to the Reverend Mother Helen Mohiam, approximately 1 hour 10 minutes in)

Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen - during Irulan's discussion with Mohiam, approximately 1 hour 10 minutes in

Vladimir Harkonnen - subtitled announcer's dialogue in the Harkonnen language, approximately 1 hour 15 minutes in

Lady Fenring - addressed by the other Bene Gesserit in the same scene, introduces herself as Lady Margot Fenring to Feyd-Rautha in the next scene (approximately 1 hour 20 minutes in)

Gurney Halleck - addressed by his full name by Paul in the scene after their reunion, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes in

That's it! I originally wanted to track this because I noticed the name of Chani's friend is never said and I had to learn it from the credits. But it is interesting how many important characters get called by name so late into the story, or not at all.

Some characters whose name is never spoken on-screen:

Jessica (!) - addressed as "mother", "Reverend Mother", "woman" (by Stilgar early on)

Alia - only addressed as "sister" by Paul. Jessica never calls her anything in particular. I guess she doesn't need to with their psychic link.

Irulan (!) - she takes part in many conversations but is rarely addressed herself. the Emperor simply calls her "daughter". she is referred to but never by name.

Shaddam IV - only ever called "the Emperor", by an honorific, or as Irulan's father.

Helen Mohiam - similar situation, called by her title.

Shishakli - she and Chani speak a lot but never call each other by name.

#dune #dune 2 #interesting how dead men get their name on-screen but only 2 of the female characters do #and by interesting i mean. bizarre #to be fair in some cases it's a respect thing. paul isn't gonna call his mom by her first name and their followers sure as hell aren't #but they still totally could have said her name at SOME point #corrections very welcome! i'm going off memory and quick notes taking at the back of the cinema so errors are possible
