I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

if you want to get better at drawing then you need to get obsessed with a freaky little character and draw them a billion times

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

Asterix is such a little ragdoll, it’s irresistible to draw him unconscious.

i like the idea of parts of danny's ghost form seeping into his human form. i think that could be fun. make that boy suffer a little more

LUCAS JOHNSON YOU IDGAF FAKER I SAW YOU VISIBLY REEVALUATE EVERYTHING WHEN YOU REALIZED YOU WERE WRONG. I SAW YOU TRY TO FIGHT YOUR OWN BROTHER TO PROTECT JEAN WHEN YOU REALIZE THE SITUATION WAS OUT OF HAND. I SAW YOU FEEL BAD FOR YOUR ACTIONS. I SAW YOU NOT IDOLIZED YOUR BROTHER AFTER HE DIED BECAUSE YOU KNEW WHAT HE HAD DONE. I SAW YOU BE CONCERNED WHEN YOU REALIZED JEAN WAS YOUNGER THAN YOU. I SAW YOU RUN TO COACH RHEMANN AND TELL HIM ZANE IS ATTACKING JEAN. YOU CARE SO MUCH.
