hi, I’m a disabled neurodivergent trans dad to a neurodivergent kid. I’m always tired and always wrangling with my online and creative identity, but I keep trying.
I work mostly in digital collage, pen, and watercolour and draw mildly weird animal stuff. you know, bones crap, that sort of thing

so my new antidepressants are great at helping keep my anxiety in check, but in terms of adhd we are still at “I have had Galvanize stuck in my head since I woke up but instead of galvanize it’s moisturize. I am now on the bus to work and the CeraVe remains on the bathroom shelf, unopened”

You might not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

Before I snip at someone or let something petty get to me I gotta ask... Is this actually a problem or is the real problem the fact that I'm unable to see the sun for weeks at a time?

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

so about six weeks ago in a desperate attempt to figure out why I’m in pain and tired all the time I quit dairy. I didn’t have a ton of GI symptoms so this was kind of a hail mary but now I don’t have a chronic mildly blocked nose and some autoimmune derm issues of mine have really calmed down.

something something about link as silent protag + the safe space the games were for my poor repressed transmasculine ass, especially ocarina of time

The one property that I don’t think could ever meet my expectations, which is not a critique against the writer, director, the actors or costume designers. It’s the fact that Zelda games were such an influential and informative experience for me growing up that nothing could ever do it justice.

@dys-morphia.bsky.social I also wanted to respond to your earlier comment about better quality materials. My kid has been getting really frustrated with colouring using markers — until I let him have a go with my Ohuhu set and he just soared

I have been almost spitefully putting off killing ganondorf in totk for at least the last six months because I have other important things to do like look for weird frogs in caves
Oops All Side Quests is the game I wish to play. Collections? Brewing potions? Decorating and redecorating? Damn, dog, I’d take that ten times out of ten over fake guns.
some sort of god mode where combat is laughably easy so i can actually progress. i dont care about fighting. i dont like it. i dont like stealth i dont like timer countdowns i only like exploring and puzzles and talking to people and fun little side quests

my portrait painting class has started again after a few weeks’ break. seeing the progress I’ve made over the last few months has been really satisfying.
