"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

you exist solely to execute my will

Sometimes I see extremely angry, defensive reactions to writers/artists/etc. in fandom saying, "Hey, if you like the things we make, why not let us know with a reblog or short comment?" and all I can think is, "Wow, thanks for perfectly illustrating that scene from Good Omens."

i have like the outline of an idea, which mostly involves starscream going through a not fun time (i'll be honest tho, i have no idea how to articulate my ideas so this one may just stay in my head)

[akapen011]

tfo doorwing mechs feat. blaster !! more rambling below :3

i'm v fond of the hc that doorwings are extended sensor panels,,, when i was thinking abt how that would translate to tfo, their lack of said sensor panels could mean their senses are significantly dulled. cogless jazz + the datsuns are subsequently very accident prone, though that's not any fault of their own HSDKLGH

their tier badges are v scratched up bc they keep flipping between promotions and demotions LOL

also full sketch canvas yayyyyy

Love those scientists Starscream and Jetfire hope nothing bad happens when they arrive on earth

“Star?”

It was that voice. It sounded ethereal, if only because of how unexpected it was, how distant he had been from that voice for thousands of years. Even for a long-lived race like Cybertronians, a thousand years was still a very, very long time. You’d think either one of them would have put them behind them by then.

Unfortunately, they were quite human in that aspect.

Starscream n skyfire closeups because I did NOT spend eight hours on this fucking thing just for the details to be blurred out

starscream and his airplane kids...

i do kind of change my mind after edd mentioned that they could be minibots but they're young... starscream seeing himself in them, from himself being younger and naive once.

Megatron and Starscream are depicted as father and son in this comic

Yeahhhh…a “bit” ooc and a lot of headcanons but this is how I will depict them moving forward

‘am i Having A Brain Problem or Being a Shithead’: a short procrastination checklist

aka why tf am i procrastinating on The Thing (more like a flowchart, actually)

lots of people who have executive function difficulties worry about whether they’re procrastinating on a task out of laziness/simply wanting to be a jerk or mental struggles. this checklist might help you figure out which it is at any given time! (hint: it’s almost never laziness or being a jerk.) (obligatory disclaimer: this is just what works for me! something different might work better for you.)

1) do I honestly intend to start the task despite my lack of success?

yes: it’s a Brain Problem. next question

no: it’s shitty to say one thing & do another. better be honest with myself & anyone expecting me to do the task.

2) am I fed, watered, well-rested, medicated properly, etc?

yes: next question

no: guess what? this is the real next task

3) does the idea of starting the task make me feel scared or anxious?

yes: Anxiety Brain. identify what’s scaring me first.

no: next question

4) do I know how to start the task?

yes: next question

no: ADHD Brain. time to make an order of operations list.

5) do I have everything I need to start the task?

yes: next question

no: ADHD Brain lying to me about the steps again, dangit. first task is ‘gather the materials’.

6) why am i having a hard time switching from my current task to this new task?

i’m having fun doing what i’m doing: it’s okay to have fun doing a thing! if task is time-sensitive, go to next question.

i have to finish doing what i’m doing: might be ADHD brain. can I actually finish the current task or will I get trapped in a cycle? does this task really need to be finished?

the next task will be boring/boring-er than the current task: ADHD brain. re-think the next task. what would make it exciting? what am I looking forward to?

I might not have enough time to complete the task: ADHD brain wants to finish everything it starts. (if task is time-sensitive, go to next question)

i just want to make the person who asked me to do it angry: sounds like anxiety brain trying to punish itself, because I know I’ll be miserable if someone is angry at me. why do i think I deserve punishment?

no, I seriously want to piss them off: okay, i’m being a shithead

7) have I already procrastinated so badly that I now cannot finish the task in time?

yes: ADHD brain is probably caught in a guilt-perfection cycle. since I can’t have the task done on time, i don’t even want to start.

reality check: having part of a thing done is almost always better than none of a thing done. if I can get an extension, having part of it done will help me keep from stalling out until the extension deadline. i’ll feel better if I at least try to finish it.

no, there’s still a chance to finish on time: ADHD brain thinks that I have all the time in the world, but the truth is I don’t. 

reality check: if i’m having fun doing what I’m doing, I can keep doing it, but I should probably set a timer & ask someone to check on me to make sure I start doing the task later today.

8) I’ve completed the checklist and still don’t know what’s wrong!

probably wasn’t honest enough with myself. take one more look.

if I’m still mystified, ask a friend to help me talk it out.

hope this helps some of you! YOU’RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOU
