Maybe Im doing it wrong but I don’t find the pomodoro technique helpful particularly with studying…
The constant stopping and starting kinda just disrupts my focus too much since I struggle so much with task initiation in the first place.
Rather than relying on a timer I rely on when I start to feel like I’m really getting over looking over research articles, that’s my cue to game for maybe 30 mins which acts as an almost complete reset mentally and Im able to refocus again.
Once I have the momentum I know not to disrupt it and just wait till I feel myself getting over it, not till Im at the point of wanting to hurl my computer at someone’s head and kill anyone that as much as breaths near me because of how frustrated I’ve become because I’ve spent all my resources and am then running on empty. If I get to that point i know it’s time for a nap and avoiding anything else for the rest of the day that requires sustained focus, I generally just end up respecting whatever my ADHD wants if it gets to that point so I don’t risk burning myself out.

i wrote an interactive poem for my girlfriend in 3 parts. she said you need to read it.
go here: take only the final quiz or take all 3. i don't mind. it's sad, though. this is a poem about choice. about fate and mental illness and how love fits inside of all of it. this is a poem about a long dark hallway. mostly this is a poem about mango sushi rolls.
good luck. i love you. despite it all, i'm hopeful.
#uqiz#she said i need to put it up here lmafo#something something feel free to send me 5 dollars towards my next sushi roll run#poetry#experimental poetry#there's no specific like warning on this except that im not doing well n therefore it LEAKS into my writing lol#the realllll shit as an author is like ohhhh fuck i write so much better when im mentally unwell lol#:( why cant i be sane AND rational. why does my creativity gotta stem from suffering.#(bc when im not suffering im outside saying YIPPEE and kicking my heels lol)#IF YOU SAW THIS BEFORE I CLICKED THE RIGHT LINK NO YOU DIDNT#hey btw if you're experiencing an error idk what's up with that bc it still loads on my end.#i'll look into solutions but sorry :(#hi friends: i have no idea why sometimes the links break for random people.#it might be a chrome/firefox/etc thing but i will say that the links still work on my end AND i still have people taking each quiz.#so i know it works .... i have no idea what the exact solution is - maybe reload it if urs isn't working?#sorry im not good at coding :(

ANKETHIA, THE GRANDMOTHER OF TRANQUILITY
( character is a woman, she/her ! )
feeling the hype for the new predator films so i've decided to revisit my main yautja OC's new design! i've been working on her on and off for a couple of months now. took a break from my current WIPs to just have fun and finally give this big ol' lady the reference she deserves!
enjoy some lore on ankethia :)
Ankethia is the respected leader and ancient of the secluded and mysterious clan of "Resting Blade". Located in the ruins of an abandoned moon, Ankethia had founded Resting Blade thousands of years ago as a sanctuary and a place of retirement for elderly warriors such as herself and provided asylum for travelers or warriors who needed it as well. Even some Bad Bloods have found a place at Resting Blade. Prior to founding her clan, Ankethia was dedicated to the hunt like many others.
In her prime, Ankethia was nothing short of a beast, a revered warrior known for slaying multiple Xenomorph queens alongside her wife, Mak'arhu. The two of them were an unconventional yet deadly duo. Unfortunately, Mak'arhu had succumbed to illness and died in Ankethia's arms. This did not deter her, however. Following the death of Mak'arhu, Ankethia set out on extinguishing an unknown amount of hives in memory of her fallen mate. She would hunt until her body told her that it was time to stop, until her heart was full and she was content.
Currently, Ankethia lives out the last of her days not in bloodshed and glory, but in peace and tranquility (and a little partying here and there!). Ankethia is quite the diva, preferring to live in luxury, gorging herself in home-brewed winery and only hunting when she wants a good meal. She ensures the same luxury for all those who seek refuge at Resting Blade.
#not sure when i’ll draw her again but i hate to sate my brainworms#and this was fun to work on today while i took a break from. Everything#pro tip: feeling overwhelmed? take the day off and draw yautja#monstatrons art#ankethia the ancient#monster#creature art#monster art#oc#creature#original character#horror#yautja#yautja oc#alien vs predator#avp#avp oc#predator#predator badlands#predator killer of killers#monster lady#monster lover art#monster lover#monster woman#creature design#creature artwork#alien#alien oc#character design#character art

The penisest of tunes.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#When I was listening to this episode I was truly losing my mind when Lan Xichen was giving the pre-amble.#'This is where we keep our unusual music' and 'music with malevent energy.'#If that isn't penis music...I don't know what is. I feel like my goofs have been justified.#I love how JGY's craftiness comes into play here. Of *course* he knows about the secret library - he was a spy for a reason!#His secret skill is finding secret spots!#Like how your cat gets into spots you did not intend for them to get into.#So sad Lan Xichen didn't show JGY the library. I can't say something silly like 'haha secret lan makeout library'#...FOR THEM. This 100% was and continues to be the secret lan makeout chambers. Generations of secret kisses happened in there.#The things those scrolls and books have seen...#Next comic is a bigger one than usual! I might take a short break to get it done so it sticks the landing.#It's House of Gentians time!

Do you see viktor and elsa’s relationship as platonic or romantic?
Okay so how long do you have
My personal interpretation is that they have feelings for each other... I go back and forth on how to contextualize that but I don't feel limited to one interpretation either, it's fun to consider different scenarios and I think their relationship is pretty ambiguous regardless. I love their characters and history and the way they seem to share a really unique and meaningful bond so I enjoy it any way you spin it, but I think them having feelings for each other adds this additional layer of tension and tragedy
I almost see them being friends as too straightforward and I don't think they're the kind of people who can have uncomplicated relationships. Even if Elsa wasn't married, with the circumstances of Viktor's separation from his wife I can't imagine him with a healthy attitude about having any kind of romantic feelings let alone being in a "normal" relationship again. But at the same time I think she would naturally fall into that hole in his life like how Ivy did for his daughter. Whereas even though Elsa has her husband and brother I'm not sure if she shares that "common ground" with them that she says she has with Viktor
My vision is that they seem to connect in a way they don't with other people and they care about each other a lot but in a way that can never be fully realized. Anyway to answer your question: Yes
#my readmore keeps breaking when I edit this post I hope it stays#viktor vasko#elsa bastion#lackadaisy#fanart#art#the other thing I think at risk of getting too speculative#I could imagine Elsa almost pitying Viktor in a way that makes her feel a little better about herself#or I guess the nicer way of saying that would be that their bond eases some of the potential shame surrounding her situation#bc I would think she has feelings about the fact that Bobby and Abelard entered into a life of crime to take care of her basically#but the ways in which viktor is a mess she can connect with. or even help him#ANYWAY

the eddie kissing buck first propaganda needs to be stopped at all cost ✋I know i know, i'm probably going to be taken out back and shot several times BUT hear me out:
buck needs to get off that squeaky spinning wheel and for that he needs to be the one initiating Something -either love confession or kiss or both i'm not picky- because as my good friend Bobby (#rip) said he's always been the one going with the flow and not knowing how he even got into a relationship in the first place so him breaking that pattern is essential to his own personal growth. he hasn't initiated a first kiss on screen a single time. he's always been either caught by surprise (taylor and tommy), or been asked out on a date without necessarily expecting it (ali and natalia), and even his first date with abby mostly happened because of external pressure (hen and athena cornering them), and she ended up being the one to kiss him first later on.
and for eddie it's the opposite, he's always been the one initating pretty much everything with his love interests: calling shannon in the first place and then kissing her first, asking ana and marisol out on a date. He's always had to make that choice for himself, and buck pretty much jumped any time someone showed interest in him and only started considering his own feelings when things started to get rocky in his relationships. So them actually switching that because buck is that sure of his feelings for the first time, oh that would be so juicy, so good, so delicious.
anyway this is not me starting discourse ❌ because i hate that but just me officially campaigning (at the very last minute) for buck initiating the love confession and/or their first kiss. thank you for your consideration 🙏
#i feel like this idea probably started during s3-4 which made sense at the time and then got adopted by the fandom at large#which you know understandable#but then we got new information and new patterns and buddie kinda needs to break those patterns#because that's what their story has always more or less been leading toward#to be fair i think eddie kissing him first would work ONLY if buck gets his feelings realisation beforehand on his own#otherwise it would be a bit disappointing for them to basically give him the very same start as previous LI but what do i know#also i believe eddie's cute mouth needs to be kissed gently and softly is that so wrong? 😔#granted at this point i'll take whatever we get without any complaint when you see me cheer eddie kissing him first just look the other way#buddie#911#txt.

I can't wait to see How Humans Court. I love the way you capture emotions and tenderness in your art
When I made the post about hhc, I told you to NOT get your hopes up because it was just an idea and I wanted to share the doodles for the fun of it. It wasn't an announcement. I told you not to wait for it! I'm too busy running two comics, making a third one on the side would be just madness. That being said...
It's done. 😐 I started it last month and now it's done. I just don't know when to post it.
#ask#witchsouth#how humans court#I feel like it'd be a disservice for me to post it alongside with two comics now that Jet and Harley is coming off hiatus next month#I've worked hard and I think I want to 'save' hhc to a point when JaH will take a new break#which will sadly(?) be in like 60 weeks#I'm thinking of just selling the pdf before that but#someone'll just leak it and I'll lose my faith in what I do#and then it'll be no more ratt comics for me and you#that rhymes

I’m with you, my love The lights shining through on you Yes, I’m with you, my love It’s the morning and just we two
#spike btvs#spuffy#spuffyedit#btvs#btvsedit#buffy the vampire slayer#it's terribly simple#you know you want to dance#injuries cw#bites and chews and gnaws on anyone who says buffy didnt love spike. BITES and CHEWS and GNAWS on them.#like is that not the whole point? of him? of his entire character arc? of his burning to ash as he breaks the sunnydale high school#(AKA buffy's personal cage within the slayer's cage that was sunnydale itself AKA the place where he and buffy first ever fought#and he nearly killed her for the very first time but was foiled by the immense love someone felt for her) as he breaks that place to rubble#in a way also very reminiscent of the first time they slept together and Literally Fucked A Building Down. anyway as he's doing ALL OF THAT#like sure she doesnt HAVE to love him she doesnt owe him anything and even if she did love isnt about obligation. but when buffy says#that she loves him in that scene. theres nothing to indicate that she doesnt feel it. that she isnt telling the truth.#idk man. people take a man who is dying telling someone not to love him as the gospel truth when i feel like its more ... like maybe he's#making a misguided effort to be kind? he's telling her ''dont get too hung up on the vampire thats about to catch on fire#and get your pretty ass out of here while you still can please.''#whatever. WHATEVER. in the perfect btvs that lives in my head most of ats isnt canon but esp the part where spike comes back and doesnt#immediately 1. ASK IF DAWN WAS OKAY 2. upon being told by angel that he cant be put in touch with buffy because [mumbles] misogyny?#go ahead and engage in a flirt campaign at harmony until she breaks down and calls buffy for him. those would be like the FIRST TWO THINGS#that spike did after he came back to unlife. first two things frfr#i'm gonna end the tag rant there. hmm

a lolcow is obviously a bad and harmful thing but studying weird people online is a wonderful and soul enriching experience. but if u treat the fun of it as a product and engage with them to get more of this product, if youre "milking" the "lolcow", youre fucked. youre going down the path of darkness. it needs to be aetherial and loose. the better alternative is looking at lolbirds instead which is quite beautiful cuz, like birdwatching, its a process where u do not enact power and force over ur subject to make it show u what u want, you just let them naturally come by and show off their plumage (10000 near identically composed deviantart illustrations of different kids show character crying while getting knead into dough and baked[this happened in a single episode of a show the artist saw when they were 4]) and then u maybe show some of ur favorite feathers of theirs to your close group of friends and then let them pass on with the wind and u keep them as a sweet memory ❤
#im adding a tag here because some of u r misunderstanding this hardcore and arguing#I dont want you to look at people who already got lolcowed. i want you to when you see someone you think is fun and weird#just passively look at them take in their weirdness and move on. im saying do that instead of pulling lolcow shit#this post is not an invitation for u to tell me who you feel like this about#u can make vague references but do not say any names out loud or ur breaking the rules#cuz the goal here is peace

(im only on chapter 5, don't tell me if it follows through or not)
#book one was so LIGHT and HAPPY and EVERYONE LIVES HAPPILY EVER AFTER#and i found it a bit saccharine and wished it had touched more on the actual reality for the characters but i LOVED it#and now im listening to arthur justify his existence and be interrogated and politicised and its genuinely making me uncomfortable#in a good way! its great writing. but also the trans issues etc that its referencing are a little close to home and all#definitely not devouring this one in a couple days. i need to take breaks because its making me feel things#nyxtalks#the house in the cerulean sea#somewhere beyond the sea#cerulean chronicles#tj klune#its so good. its so so good. just listening to arthur be grilled in that hearing is hard#you already know theres going to be no change. there never is. but now its about arthur personally#its good. its good. its just a lot#i guess this is the switch from linus to arthur. its different when it affects you

you don't have to grieve alone
#shadowsight#rootspring#root is obviously grieving bris but we don't talk enough about shadowsight#how he spent his whole life thinking he was special and chosen by starclan#only to find out he was just easy to manipulate and he never had the connection he thought he had#i imagine it would take some time to recover from that sense of loss#shadowroot#rootshadow#my art#anyway i am alive. accidentally drew this instead of cooking dinner bc i still love these cats#low key dealing with grief of my own. feeling pretty fragile atm but it'll be okay. i am gonna go get dinner after posting this tho lmao#i haven't been drawing much lately bc i've been more invested in another franchise while wc main series is kinda.... on hiatus in a sense#i know we just got a graphic novel but obviously it's just the first arc again which... idk man i've read that already. many times lol#and i know we're getting a super edition before hidden moon and i am looking forward to it#but man it already feels like it's been ages since i read the elders' quest and we still got half a year to go til the next book#so i took a break i guess. but MAN i need to at least draw more! it feels good. when it works
