Something something about using complementary colors to show the struggle between conformity and rebellion

And the ways we are punished regardless

#shadow the series #color coded boys in love #the colors mean things #but I'm not saying what just yet #it's like working out a math problem #complementary colors to cause maximum angst

if you eventually want to see the crochet lace work I struggled all day on fixing I am now sporadically posting my crafts on @sleepy-princess-craftery

#kirby #kirby makes stuff #(kinda)#daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #see I'm using really old patterns cuz they're public domain #but after like 6 hours of work yesterday the pattern wasn't lining up quite right in the 17th round #I worked out this morning that the problem was the 9th round and I realized I'd misread the instructions for the 9th round #so I went all the way back and did 9-16 as actually-written #but that was wrong too!#the counts given in the 9th row are just wrong!#so I had to math it out myself and do 9-16 a third time #and I just now finished round 17 for real #but it all lines up properly now -u-#but wow that was so much unraveling and frowning and staring at dense text #it's a really neat pattern aside from that one error though!#there are rows worked within the rounds in order to make star points without the usual netting between #so the extra like. 9 hours? 12 hours? I turned off my timer around cumulative hour 9 #anyway the effort is still worth it #favorites

the thing about the next month is that it's going to. suck.

#i'm finishing up out of town work and going back home tomorrow #and then saturday we work #and then next week is. whatever.#and the week after we're driving out of town again to our job sunday #and then we're working until friday and then going back home again #and then the week after we're working mon-wed then have thursday off for the 4th of july and then we're working fri-fri #and now my coordinator is like 'good news! i crunched the numbers and you guys don't need more help so i'm pulling ppl from your job'#like okay. i'm glad the math checks out for that. in the real world however where things go wrong this is going to kill us though #in a month where we're already struggling #like. if you have to pull someone you have to pull them. no hard feelings #but don't pretend it's not a bad thing you're doing to us #especially because the job she's pulling from is notoriously difficult and always needs extra time due to problems and filter changes #like. man.

#polls #sorry i love these they’re so much fun to me akfkskdk #had to make my own #the exam one was a math exam #and usually you’re split into groups of 2 and you have to work together to solve a couple of problems #(oral exam not written exam)#anyways i was the ONLY one who showed up out of like 25+ students #and so i just had to do the entire thing alone akfksksk #it went pretty well 👍#hyperspecific poll

lads it's so fucking frustrating when you desperately want to learn and understand something but u just can't fucking get ir

#because of various reasons I've accidentally skipped up a level in physics #so im learning calc based physics instead of basic physics #which is fine except the physics I'm currently taking expects me to have already taken basic phsyics and so im just confused and behind #this is like calc 2 all over again #but ten times worse because since it's a summer class im learning way more stuff at a way quicker rate #and i can't even go to the tutoring center bc again. summer school. it's not even open #im so stressed I barely understand how to solve these and i don't have anyone I can ask #and we have a test on Monday and i have a bad feeling about it #it's not even difficult math it's basic algebra we haven't even gotten to the calc yet #turns out not solving word problems for 3 years severely hinders your ability to solve word problems #and i also just cannot fuckin focus at all and it's frustrating #this homework is due tomorrow and im tired and wanna go to bed but none of it is done #lilac post #if this doesn't work out idk wtf else to do im hinging all my hopes on this

Why Gifted Kids Are Actually Special Needs

youtube

why am i crying over a video.

#it felt too personal #i finally figured out wtf is my problem #the real problem is i've never learned how to study like a normal kid #and instead thought studying 10 mins before exam is enough to get good grades #and it worked till last year #i had to face to reality when i got 40 from math and arabic #now i wanna study in order to be the best student in the class as i've always been in my whole life but i just don't know how to do anymore #i don't wanna be the smart kid i just wanna be normal #why is it that hard #why do i always have to be different #why do i always have to be a fucking perfectionist who never believes she's enough #why is even 85/100 not good for me #how can i change that mindset #how can i be normal #i wanna be normal

semi-heavy adhd vent tw 🫢🫢

personally of the opinion that the worst thing about adhd is the subtlety. we joke abt how obvious and silly it is but its barely visible 95% of the time.

& u spend your whole life not knowing if the mental struggle you have doing basic shit is what everyone deals with or if something's wrong. even when you KNOW you have adhd and even have it TREATED you STILL don't know if you're having a normal amount of obstacles.

i've been on meds for two years now and i just spent a whole fucking summer semester not sure if i was having adhd burnout or if my meds weren't working or if i was actually just being lazy. i think its all three, but who knows! and now i have a final tomorrow that i have to pass and i dont know if i can because i could barely fucking do any work all semester.

this happens like every year/semester but this one particularly stings cause it was supposed to be really good this time!! lots of free time, one class to worry about, the best nd-friendly note-taking system i've ever used, lots of flexibility, and friends to spend time with. it was even a science class!! chem, not bio, but better than non-science, right? but apparently, the only way i can ever stay motivated and on the ball is if im chained to a super-stressful and merciless schedule. so i have to choose between my long-term success and my mental health!!

i don't envy neurotypicals for the weird fucking ways they operate sometimes but good lord fucking jesus it sounds nice to be able to do things. i feel like a loaded gun with a busted trigger; i have all these amazing ideas and well-thought-out schedules and all the passion and desperation to follow through, but my brain and body just. won't. do it.

#vent #adhd #im really freaking out ngl but i will pull through because i HAVE to #i did the math and as long as i get like a 50 on this test i will almost definitely pass #but i'd at least like a -B #im just trying to find a way to be productive without destroying myself #cause i tried the insanely busy routine in the spring semester of my senior year of highschool and it worked!!#but i was sickly and exhausted and losing weight and everyone but me noticed #i kinda promised my friends not to do that to myself again #god i hate having adhd sometimes FUCK #i keep telling myself im only 18 and i'm still figuring out my adhd and unlearning the habits i learned growing up to survive #and that a lot of people do stupid shit and struggle in college even WITHOUT adhd #but omg how long is it going to take until i can rely on myself #im really scared im never gonna figure it out and i wont be able to do the things i wanna do #i just wanna sit in a lab all day and research cells or some shit man!! put me in a room full of bugs or worms or something!! jesus!!#this isn't the fun witty adhd stuff i like posting about but hey at least my brethren out there will be able to relate :)#adhd student #adhd struggles #adhd mood #adhd problems #neurodivergent #neurodivergent student #college #stem student #buggie's nerd stuff

household enemy to the yyh watchthrough number one is the olympics. it's taken us a week to get two episodes into the gamemaster fight

#out of three. please the third episode's what makes it okay im fighting for my life out here #it is NOT for lack of trying on my part but theres only a brief window of time when the olympics is not happening #and as it turns out the watchthrough is Not my mom's first priority (how dare she etc)#i do feel slightly bitter that we've gotten through two eps of band o brothers in the same time #we are fighting for the same timeslots yet somehow the hour long show's gotten a leg up??#you don't have time for a 23 min ep but DO for a 60 min one?? explain the math to me please #idk how to explain the vague feeling of betrayal bc it Does Not make sense Nor matter in the slightest #but cmonnnn we were doing so well. and my little bro's starting up school again soon and my dad's gotta go back to work #sometimes eventually (<- hes on medical leave) and my grandparents are coming over next week We're Losing Time Soon #ughhh if i'd known the olympics were happening (<- somehow completely oblivious to this) i'd have accounted for #my mom getting whisked away by the land of synchronized divers and shot putters and whatever the hell #happens in the summer olympics (<- only pays attention to winter olys)#bc that always happens. and *i* have to go back to school in Some Amount Of Time Im Too Scared To Check (p sure it's late aug though) and #when that happens i'll (hopefully) be stuck across town which means we won't be able to do it any time besides the weekends #and i don't wannaaaaa #i know this is the least important problem anyone's ever had like i get that i know but #it's important to me that they sit down and watch this with me. and watching it pull apart and being #the one who's easily the most invested it makes me look all desperate when i ask them for their time and they can't give it #we can only pull this off neatly in the summer and we were so close and now we're losing it right at the finish line #i don't want life to get in the way of this little bubble i've fought so hard to make y'know #and it's childish and embarrassing and whatever but i just want them to have fun with me with this thing i care about a lot #but i can't do that bc my mom needs to watch the judo matches at Every weight class #even though she's recording a lot of them? i don't understand but whatever i know it's her thing im just moping about it ig #i want it to be as perfect an experience for them as possible and it's slipping away from me #and i don't wanna leave this project unfinished when i start school y'know. sighh #i think they might feel like i only want them around when we're watching stuff. whcih is weird bc that's like #The Singular Way we family bonded literally my whole life so idk why they wouldn't get that when reversed #but either way that IS how i wanna spend time with them. i want them to understand this thing that's become a part of me #and i wanna talk With them about it. and so far it's been fun in a way it's never been before. my mom at least seems to really like it #and i want it to Keep going well bc if we lose momentum im worried they'll start finding it tedious. sighh

i dont think that dakota would get into fiber arts on his own but i DO think that knitting could fix him

#pd #a classic case of me being so so wrong and so right at the same time #i think that it would be enough of a 'classic grandma hobby' for him to like #not think that it's really difficult to get into until its too late #and it would give him like. math that he would get to physically work through and comprehend #unique problems to solve #and i dont think anyone would really point out that these are difficult things or that he's smart for solving them #but i think it would be harder for him to consider himself Stupid Muscle when he figured out how to turn a heel on a sock #or figured out how to keep track of his rows and patterns consistently without slipping stitches #like stuff that Sounds simple but is actually really fucking horrifying to a beginner who JUST learned how to cast on #also i think it would give him a way to rest without feeling like he's resting #sit down and watch some tv with his boys while he heroically knits hats for babies #and heat packs on his legs and bandages on his arms #and surprise him when he doesnt hurt as much the next morning #id say its also a good time to think about morality and his black and white views but tbh i dont think he'd think about that #he'd be too busy devising new and evil toppings to put on pizza #pizza towers #but the point is that he'd be happy #and resting #and get to SEE the fruit of his efforts growing in his hands #and have problems that he can promise to fix and KNOW that he'll be able to fulfill that promise #and nothing shitty like a trickster tearing his best friend in half will make him break it #knitting: colestyle

me age seven being sat down in front of the school’s district child psych lady and being given strange, simple spatial puzzles to solve and then long, complicated worksheets and hammering my way through them at the speed of light while having zero comprehension what their purpose was or why i was here: this is urgent! i have to get a good grade in Weird Puzzles, Or Else, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

#kjalkjsdalkjasdl mrs button was a nice lady but not one adult in my childhood ever seemed to notice what to me now seems like #a pretty obvious case of the autisms #then again maybe they just didn't look as hard unless it was *really* obvious back then . it was like. what. 2000? a couple years later #everybody was talking about autism but not when i was six or seven then it was usually just when it was Very Visible #a couple years later my cousin who's more visibly on the spectrum than me got her diagnosis so young that she's pretty much always had it #which is...well i think it's just made her life difficult in a different way. people underestimate her or don't treat her like she's her age #but then she's always had the opportunity to get accommodations and people are sometimes more forgiving when she can't do something #whereas i got labeled 'kid that should be ahead of the game' from a pretty young age and then when i struggled adults either ignored it #or it was just a huge hassle to them and even i could see it exasperated them to have to work around me #but because mrs button (nice lady but what were you thinking) hadn't told them to treat me like a kid with a developmental disorder #they didn't do that in good OR bad ways . so i never got any accommodations with school stuff i struggled with which was a fair bit #i wasn't supposed to need extra testing time in a quiet room or tutoring with math or help organizing my abysmally scattered things #the only time i DID get that was in sixth grade when i was sort-of friends with this kid jonathan who was Very On The Spectrum #he wasn't really a talker unless it was about whatever he was reading which suited me fine so we just kind of existed in each other's space #and his TSS was this very smart and nice lady who had clearly clocked that Something Was Going On With Me and even though it wasn't like #her JOB she made a little bit of time for me. mostly with emotional stuff (i think i was under the impression she was a therapist?)#but if i had some problem with being unable to keep friends or being frozen out by the kids i wanted to be liked by (happened often)#she'd be able to just like. be there she'd make the time . wish i could remember her name

Me looking up basic math examples in prep for my new job/education, because I haven't done that since highschool asliaskjda.

#Apparently it's not that hard #but math was always a problem for me #but i find that now that i am older i sometimes just see the answer already lmao #like my gut tells me and i find out i'm right #best feeeling ever #i hate it so much that math is upon me again and bites me in the arse 15 years later #i gotta remember the tricks #i don't see logic in math i just don't that's not how my brain works #it's the tricks that are my logic #it's the only thing i probably have to do a exam in because i didn't back then because I chose geography asodfhiuASF

As the first math anon (the one with the failed exam), I really do appreciate you writing out a response for me. I will sincerely take your advice and tips to heart.

I hope it helps, anon!! If there's any specific parts giving you trouble (except geometry bestie sorry) I'm happy to try and help break it down!

#ask #anon #i will never forget being in middle school while my dad went back to college for some certificate thingy #and by chance we happened to be at the same level algebra for our math class #and on the same lesson #so i asked him for help with my homework one night and he was like 'yeah i got you we just learned that watch THIS' and showed me how #next day i got it back and i was like **so that was fucking wrong**#my dad says that was the day he knew he'd never be able to help me with my current schoolwork again it was too above his paygrade #did we all have that childhood experience of our dads angrily yelling/repeating a math question at us because we didn't know the answer #but also like 2 years ago my nephew asked me for help with his online math class and ofc it was geometry #i spent like 30 min working out one problem and i was like 'okay i am confident THIS is the answer (:'#and my answer wasn't even one of the 4 multiple choices lmao #listen boy you live in the golden age of the internet where you can just google the solution okay i had WORK for it at your age so #stop asking me about the angle of a cylinder or whatever
