concept sketch for a guardians of ga’hoole Oc I’ve had floating around in my head
they were hatched on a solar eclipse, rather than a lunar eclipse. some weird effects stemmed from it - with the disc of their face becoming silvery-white, rather than the face itself like traditional nyrolian owls. Their parents had decided to follow the naming tradition anyways, figuring - they were born on an eclipse, even if it wasn’t a lunar eclipse, so they should follow the same naming convention.
Haven’t fully fleshed out this guy yet but I’ll post more later maybe
Drawing is inspired by the solar eclipse yesterday yayyyy
I have diagnosed ADHD, but looking back, now that I know a lot more about neurodivergencies in general, I've always showed symptoms of hyperempathy. I struggle a lot with comfort shows and comfort characters because I put myself in their struggles, and work myself into anxiety attacks when they are suffering. I also struggle constantly with overwhelming love I feel for my comfort characters. So much love it actually hurts me. But normally hyperempathy is associated to autism.
Now I'm wondering: Can my hyperempathy be a symptom of my ADHD?

Yes! We have issues with emotional regulation, which means we can feel things a lot stronger (or a lot weaker) than others. This includes feeling stronger second hand embarrassment from tv shows, or feeling like a fictional character’s breakup hurts as badly as our own.
