LETS SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL

Some individuals with AD/HD, especially without hyperactivity, have an activation problem as described by Thomas Brown, Ph.D. in his article AD/HD without Hyperactivity (1993). Rather than a deficit of attention, this means that individuals can’t deploy attention, direct it, or put it in the right place at the right time. He explains that adults who do not have hyperactivity often have severe difficulty activating enough to start a task and sustaining the energy to complete it. This is especially true for low-interest activities. Often it means that they can’t think of what to do so they might not be able to act at all, or, as Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo say in You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!, they might experience a “paralysis of will” (pg. 65). “The clothes from my trip—a month ago—are just still lying in a heap in the suitcase.” “I spend a lot of time in bed watching TV but my mind isn’t watching TV. I’m thinking about what I should be doing, but I don’t have the energy to do it.”

- Sari Solden, Women With Attention-Deficit Disorder

Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

new kinds of homophobia/transphobia to add to your worldbuilding:

if you want your fictional society is to be less just world, but in new ways.

Sexist society that believes men are better; thus, views transmen as extremely valid, as unlike women, they have seen the light.

Gay men are honored, as with polygamy there is a continual shortage of women, and gay men means more women to go around. Lesbianism is seen as just something wives do sometimes. Transwomen are controversial because, on one hand, more women, but, on the other, some people suspect it is a scheme by fathers to have more daughters to get a bride price for.

Lesbians are controversial but only because they are seen as appropriating Amazonian culture. If you are over 6ft tall and strong, then it is okay.

Gay men are seen as too manly. That they are somehow stealing the manliness from the straight men. If woman are around them, they will somehow turn into men.

Society that "solved sexism" by dividing the world into short people and tall people and then assigning the short people to the former women's roles, and the tall people, to the men's. Now people are homophobic about two short people getting married.

people are afraid of people born in the same country as them. i.e. the opposite of xenophobia. This is homophobia. (this is what I thought homophobia was when I first saw the word)

people assume that men are gay because they have never seen a women before. People react very sympathetically to a gay man coming out because they assume it means they were locked away from society as a child.

sexist society loves trans-women because it means one less man vying political power.

What would you do

What would you do if you showed up for a date with me, and instead of a guy like I said in my dating profile, I was a small injured deer?

And you asked me why I didn't say I was a small injured deer in my profile, and I said I was worried you would hate me for being so small and injured?

And then I got a salad and slowly nibbled on it, flapping my ears while you told me about warhammer 40 thousand. And then when it came time to split the bill, I told you I had no money because I'm a creature of a forest, but that I would pay you for my portion in song?

And so I sat up on my hind legs, and sang the most beautiful sonata you've ever heard in your life. I sang of the valleys and the rivers. In the first part of the song, you could hear my voice waver from the pain of my injury. But then it crescendoed with fire and determination, as if in the middle of that very song I decided that I must keep living no matter what happens, and that you must keep living too?

Then, when you came back to your senses from being entranced by the beauty of the song, there were tears streaming down your face? I was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a single autumn leaf on the table? You looked down at your hands, and in your hands was a small note with your childhood dream you had long forgotten on it, written by your own hand?

What would you do?

Would you be mad?

So this is clearly the "Robe and Wizard Hat" guy, yeah?

My three girlfriends. And yes, they smoke weed.
