- skewed sense of time eg; i can easily get there and back before my eggs cook!
- altered sense of reality//tendency to get sucked up in daydreams and temporarily lose track of real life
- extremely vivid daydreams// alternative realities
- feeling really lonely but getting the urge to isolate yourself for no reason
- getting overwhelmed by too many choices and freaking out
- hearing the instructions but not really being able to hold onto them
- people cant speak to you while you’re really focused on something because you can’t hold on to multiple things in your brain at once
- repeating things over and over in your head to try and remember them
- feeling like you never really appreciate things as much as you should because you get too sidetracked
- getting super excited by small things but sometimes feeling indifferent towards the things everyone’s raving about
- being self conscious from everyone telling you you’re annoying but being scared you’ll come off as boring
- getting hyperfixations on a certain person and getting really wrapped up on them regardless of if they like you back
- putting too much into things and getting disappointed when it’s not reciprocated
- constantly being told that you’re too intense and need to chill it out a bit
- ^ thinking you’re cool and desperately wanting to just be chill and laid back but your personality is just 24/7 overdrive
- building things up so much in your head to the point that it gets stressful because what if it doesn’t live up to expectations??
- extremely over-emotional (this includes when it’s inappropriate such as giggling at sad things and then feeling really bad after)
- feeling when you just don’t know when to stop
- getting increasingly uncomfortable in a situation for no apparent reason until you feel like you’re gonna cry or scream but you do none of that and just sit there
feel free to add on!
Repeating to remember is such a mood, I’ll go into the kitchen to get water and food and put the water by the doorway, then spend the entire time it takes to prepare the food repeating “remember the water” in my head so I leave with both food and water. Then I forget my phone
Your friendly local hick (me) was giving a work presentation to a class that had some audience participation.
A suburban white boy answering a question stumbled through a statement where he was clearly trying to find a polite replacement for “hick” or “redneck” and I s2g this kid said “yeehaw folk.”
I wrote that shit up on the board and said, “I am, in fact, a yeehaw folk,” as my coworker just lost his shit laughing.
this is right up there with the person who couldn’t decide whether to use sir or ma'am to address to address someone and ended up saying captain
I long to be so confusing gender wise people resort to calling me captain
yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
PLUS THIS SCENE?
AND THIS????
We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.
the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.
treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.
i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.
This is my favorite Disney movie like for real I watched it like 10000 times as a little kid and even more when I got older. I love it
Good Backwards World Building: In the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery mobile game, your player character must learn the charm Silencio, which causes the target to temporarily be unable to make any sound,during their fifth year at Hogwarts. During the class, it is revealed that one of the side effects of a failed Silencio charm is for the target of the spell to begin to swell uncontrollably. For players who are clever and remember the books, this will ring a bell- it was never explained why Aunt Marge in The Prisoner of Azkaban started swelling up when Harry got angry, only that he accidentally did magic. This reveal shows that in anger, his subconscious was likely trying to “shut her up”, causing a mis-cast Silencio charm, and therefore the side-effect of swelling. The reveal doesn’t change anything about the characters or their motivations, or add anything in particular to the plot. It’s just a neat bit of trivia.
Bad Backwards World Building: JKR tweets that [x] was part of [x minority group], even though there was no indication of such in the text, simply because it adds representation in hindsight.
financial goals: bathtub that’s deep enough for me to be 100% fully submerged; preferably one of those triangle corner ones. Also maybe being debt free but the tub comes first
me, 8 years old, sitting in the largest bathtub that they have on display in the Home Depot:
What if supernatural creatures don’t exist anymore? What if they did once, but through the years, they slowly mixed in with humans?
You can see the blood of fairies in the way a ballet dancer hovers in mid air before he or she hits the ground. You can see it in the way that middle school girl never forgets when someone makes her a promise. You can see it in how that one little boy in the kindergarten class seems more comfortable in the forest on that field trip than the others.
You can see the blood of dryads in hikers who never trip over roots. You can see it in that suburban grandmother never lets any of her garden die. You can see it in that one kid who climbs a tree faster than his friends, barely looking at the branches as he goes.
You can see the blood of naiads in the way a professional swimmer seems to command the water to help them. You can see it in how a cross country runner needs a water break more often than his teammates. You can see it in the way that one girl in your class always has a water bottle on her desk.
You can see the blood of mermaids in a surfer who can be tossed around underwater for a long time without drowning. You can see it in a teenage boy who doesn’t have to pretend to be unbothered by the pressure when he races his friends to the bottom of a swimming pool. You can see it in the little girl who wades into every stream she sees on a hike without quite knowing why.
You can see the blood of sirens in people who never have a problem with getting people to date them. You can see it in that soprano who can hit notes most of her fellows can only dream of. You can see it in the camp counselor who all the straight girls have a crush on, who can play guitar and sing better than any of the others.
You can see the blood of shapeshifters in the way an actor adjusts their personality to become their character with scary accuracy. You can see it in the subconscious, barely noticeable changes a tween girl’s eyes make to match her outfit better. You can see it in the way you always lose that one friend in a crowd if you’re not careful, because he’s just too good at blending in.
People who carry the blood of werewolves don’t change with the full moon anymore, but you can still see it in the way your best friend always knows something is wrong, though even they don’t know they’re smelling the changes in your body chemistry. You can see it in the way that one guy always seems to eat more than the reasonable amount of red meat at an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can see it in the way that one werido never has a problem when the teacher turns off the lights before a PowerPoint presentation because her eyes adjust quicker and better than yours.
The blood of supernatural creatures may have mostly faded away. But if you look closely, you can still see it.
I have had the honor of working on two different comics projects with Don Hertzfeldt. Flight, and Fusion Future. But this is the story of my first interaction with the man.
