AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and didn't expect this post to blow up, so don't take me for an authority, but i'm glad it resonated with so many of y'all

give me the state if you're comfy and what languages were offered

Hey (with the intention of making you my wife and spoil you til death)

[grymm-gardens]

the language nerd in me is fucking screaming and crying about the fact that Cassandra Pentaghast has what i believe may be the most accurate impression of the extinct gothic germanic accent we have, and the fact that they didn't even try to give anyone else from Nevarra the same accent is fucking criminal

yes i know it is an entirely made up accent that miranda developed herself, she unintentionally hit the nail on the fucking head with the accent of a dead language that would even be lore accurate with the placement of Nevarra relative to orlais and the other neighboring countries

also im sorry using Gothic as the language inspiration for nevarran??? is that not like too fucking perfect??

like yeh i get it accent training people for a fake accent is ridiculously hard

i do not care

give me gothic nevarrans in the truest sense of the word

i might post the notes find the notes here i have on the actual linguistic comparisons if anyone cares because i studied her pronunciation to compare to historical texts when i made the connection

alright nerds--

^tried to include as many as possible

[unearthitaly]

I very much agree with these suggestions. Forcing myself to write was the way I could finally start to become an active rather than a passive user of the target language.

Worst days

Tw for Kakashi’s general (terrible) mental state, including hallucinations, slight body horror and blood.

I.

II.

III.

These are parts 1, 2 and 3 out of 5. You can probably already guess who the rest will be about.

Parts 4 and 5

I have kind of taken this project as sort of like three different art studies in one (color, lineart and Kakashi's character).

It is set on Kakashi's ANBU era, where he was most depressed (and hallucinations were definetly (a common occurance/happening)). He had lost everything and everyone during this stage of his life, which is why I wanted to explore his feelings about every person he lost and how their deaths affected him.

More details about each part that you may have not noticed:

Sakumo:

Kakashi’s face is not fully visible, only Sakumo's.

At the end when he talks about the blood he refers to the floor as "wooden", but he's n the bathroom, actually standing on a tile floor, meaning he's hallucinating that he's in his old house right where he found his father.

Minato and Kushina:

They are both intentionally blurry, because Kakashi was not involved in their deaths in any way at all, unlike the other ones. He never saw them die. He just learned that they were gone.

This is also why he can’t reach them. No matter how much he runs he could not get there in time to save them, just like his sensei. He can’t go back into the past, either, so he just lost them without saying goodbye, only seeing what they left behind.

Minato is on his back in that one panel to represent the emotional distance between him and Kakashi. In canon Minato always seemed to keep a formal sort of work-oriented relationship with his team, because even though he seemed warm he was actually quite far, and he never opened up about himself at all.

Kushina's voice is simply "loud and vibrant", simply energetic, but I chose to make its connotation ambiguous because we never saw her and Kakashi interact in canon and so don’t know how their relationship was like.

In the last panel Kakashi's hand is monster-like, kind of like a certain seven-tailed beast in that one scene, which represents how he believes his influence would horribly corrupt Naruto.

Kakashi:

The color palette on the whole comic is monochromatic except for the blood and Kakashi's sharingan, representing how colorless his life was before he had his precious people with him, especially Obito.

This is the first time Kakashi's face is visible.

The focus on the "white fang" blade also works as a reminder of what will eventually happen if he breaks.

I saw a quote that said:

"Don't ignore the effort of someone who tries to keep in touch and wants to fix things. It's not all the time someone cares."

And it's the truth.
