Why are hospitality-related jobs so.. anti-ADHD? Like barista for example, sure, making coffee is fun but the environment forces you to squeeze information as possible; preventing yourself from forgetting them otherwise both the job and the customers be damned. I had shared once how my brain is processed is when new info slides in; the rest are kicked out. Tasks that were once "organised" in my mind are scattered like casino chips. My manager had to warn me these behaviours are inapplicable to other jobs because each action is sacred and I won't be accepted if I keep this up.
It hurts my heart because I can't change whatever I have. I can't stop thinking about the advise my manager gave me. I can't just admit I am neurodivergent or is suspecting so because shit! I'm a barista, I work in a cafe-slash restaurant whose customers are mostly seniors! There's no time for slow-mo and I had to act fast. I also need the money and the experience.
The way I know those PJO fans were lying about "we just want book accuracy" in regards to Leah's casting as Annabeth is bc they didn't complain nearly as much for anyone else in the cast
Percy being blonde? A little bit here or there but acceptance in the end
Grover? Literally nothing for miles about how Aryan's Indian
Luke Castellan? Charlie Bushnell is Japanese, Irish, and Costa Rican, but no one ever said that he wasn't book accurate
Chiron is Black. Did you complain about that?
Y'all can take your "we want the looks to be like the books!" and shove it up your ass. You're just being racist toward Leah
This trend but with Kit Snicket.. ⌒(ё)⌒
A cursed thought, but I'm glad Lemony Snicket's draft adaptation(s) didn't continue, solely because it's 2025 — just IMAGINE all the "sigma boy" accounts using ATWQ Lemony Snicket's character as another of their jewelled "nonchalant sigma" idol; mischaracterise him as mysterious when, in his future, he becomes a wet, sopping adult who investigate orphans and a knack repetition of definitions..
When there's a major schism in your country and they're both right wing
wow, hope we see more strongman leaders arrested, thoughts and prayers
OMG your HC's for Moxie's!! /pos
Also daaaaaaaamn poor Ellington 😭😭
Edit: also waittt @spooky-cryptid-friend you're kinda cooking with the "black trenchcoat" thing.. Like – an inverse of the traditional lab coat – "better to wear black so you don't see the stains" (#cornyalert /hj)
May you guys send or reblog your fashion HC's for Stain'd Squad/Kids? I want to illustrate them for fun! (My mind's hungry for ideas).. 😽🪻

a series of unfortunate events isn't exactly "obscure" per se but idk any other adults who are into it and i need that to change immediately so here's your sign to go read it

Jake and Cleo - work in progress 💕
Very illegal for this couple to get the least fanart inside an underrated fandom, so I'm gonna cook 💪 justice for them!
israel’s military and government has known for 300+ days that the bibas family was dead and used the faces of BABIES to promote and justify their genocide. how fucking morbid. i wish the family and friends of family a very safe healing journey
What type of drugs gacha fans are having to create the most sensational, jaw-dropping, flourishing, spectacular, ethereal art; how did gacha convince [them] to illustrate that way? Is it the yaoi? Is it because it's bad enough, like 🐞-effect? Is it from boredom?? What⁉️
Most of the "art inspo" are gacha fanarts, leodevinci level; and I wanna tear it apart, eat that shit and absolve it inside my veins..
I'm gonna redraw this.. I'm not liking it.. ;(
// Who is the mysterious phonecaller? ☎️
This is actually my first time drawing in a tablet properly, and it's safe to say it's eaaaasier to get the lines smoother than on phone.. I was considering tweaking a few proportions but gah, I'm tired!
The association
Redrew their adult versions bc I really need to diversify unique features while also portraying their personalities... Which while I think it's an improvement, I don't think I've quite nailed it yet. May rework some of the minor features, particularly the eyes.
Some notes on the design choice:
Jacques & Kit - they're twins halves of the same whole to me, so they have the same face, just different vibes. Jacques is supposed to give the impression of a cool, strict, if a lil cold older brother, while Kit is the more carefree, also cool, affectionate older sister.
Lemony - I added scars from when Stew beat him up. His eyes are the same as his siblings.
Moxie - Other than polishing up the structure of her face and adding freckles, I think I really got her right from the get-go. 10/10 no further notes.
Cleo - She's supposed to look intimidating and regal, her hair is meant to evoke a "queen". She looks fierce, but she's nicer than she looks.
Jake - when he was younger, his hair is curlier and down, now he has it styled. He's meant to look friendly.
Ellington - doesn't look mysteriously enough ngl, but she does have femme fatale vibes. Kinda.
Lizzie - literally just Hedy Lamarr in terms of face. I really want a look that screams "STARLET", so she's the prettiest/most elegant looking here.
Kellar - my intention for him is that bc of his harried and anxious nature, he gives off the impression of being unapproachable and unpleasant.
Squeak - the youngest of the group, he grew up but still maintaining that core mischievousness. He looks a lot like Pip.
Pip - forgot to draw his glasses, anyways he looks more of a refined gentleman here bc he's now officially a librarian, a prestigious job.
Ornette - meant to look classy, enigmatic, and amiable. Perfect for a hotel proprietor.
// well, I tried!

I’m Anas Basil, a recent high school graduate with dreams of a brighter future through studying e-business management and building a career. But the war has shattered everything. After graduating with a 93% average, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (UNRWA), only to find that it’s now a shelter for displaced families instead of a place for education.
My younger brother, Ahmad, 14, is known as the "Doctor of the Future" because of his extraordinary talent in mathematics. However, the war has kept him out of school for two consecutive years. Ahmad is also a gifted football player who used to win tournaments, but the war has taken that away from him too.
The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where we lived in a tent for several months. Every day is a struggle for survival—fetching water, gathering wood, and making a fire.
🎯 We are seeking €29,000 to:
- Secure safe passage out of Gaza and cover education fees to help us pursue our dreams.
- Provide Basic Essentials—food, clean water, and medical supplies—to support our family’s day-to-day survival in Gaza.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to our goal.
With gratitude,

“girl dinner” “girl math” “i’m just a girl” okay but I am an adult I am six feet tall I am loud as fuck I take up space I am smart and capable. So are you. Why would we want to laugh at jokes where the punchline is that women aren’t? Why would we want to make jokes about being small and childish and incapable? Who do you think laughs at those jokes the loudest?
Yep, sometimes reading discourse and long discussions about queerness always keep me on consensus that this app/website is predominantly white.. and I'm not liking that they keep adding on another useless point that makes the overall discourse counterproductive and isn't helping a lot of people..
