Edited It Because... I Forgot To Add Ethos Eyebrow. Again.

I see a lot of people joking about the adhd thing of "I have a appointment/phone call at 3pm, guess I won't do anything all day!"

But no one seems to make the connection that it's a time blindness thing. One of the symptoms of ADHD is not having a good and accurate sense of time. And not doing stuff prior to an event with a hard deadline is an obvious coping mechanism for that.

Can I go to the store? It's 10am and the appointment is at 3pm. How long does going to the store take? An hour? Three hours? Five hours? I DON'T KNOW!

I get anxious trying to do things before appointments because I'm aware that I don't know how long those things take, and that if I think I do, I may be very wrong. Too often I've been like "hey I can walk to the corner store and grab a drink, that'll take like 15 minutes!" and then an hour later I get back and whoops my rice has burnt.

Plus there's also the fact that ADHD people know that motivation and focus is a two-edged sword.

Like, let's say you decide to play a video game. You've got time, you can pause/save whenever, so this should be a perfect fit to make good use of your waiting-time. So you start playing and WHOOPS you get really focused for some reason today (because people with ADHD do not get to pick when their brain decides to focus) and the next time you look at the clock it's 2:49 and you haven't showered or dressed and the appointment is 30 minutes away. Fuck. (you could have set an alarm, but now you're asking people with the forgetting-things-and-time-ignoring condition to remember it set alarms)

And with motivation, it can be almost worse. Instead of playing a game, you so something useful or creative. You clean your room or fix your plumbing or write a story or draw a picture. And suddenly it's great. Your brain is firing on all cylinders. You've got all the motivation you can ask for, and you are FLYING. the ideas are brilliant, your hands are nimble, you're getting stuff done you've been putting off for weeks or months. And then the alarm goes off. Time to go to your appointment. Fuck.

You drive there, your brain still full of ideas and plans. But by the time you get back, the motivation is gone. You may still have the ideas but you don't have the drive to write them down. You can't force yourself to do it. Your sink is still in pieces. Your room is half-cleaned, and you have to shove all the sorted clothes into one big bin just so you have somewhere to sleep. You've left things half finished again, in a cycle that has been repeating your whole fucking life. It seems sometimes that nothing ever gets finished.

So next time you don't even start. There's not time. You've been burnt too many times. Why add another half-completed project to your pile of shame?

My point is that people seem to be going "lol I can't do anything all day if I have an appointment at 3pm" like this is a quirky "oh I'm so scatterbrained!" weirdness they alone have, and not a major complication of a disabling mental illness.

(and that's not even getting into the secondary effects. If you know that having an appointment ruins your whole damn day, you're going to avoid them. Even when it's things like "going to that party" or "meeting your friends for a drink/game" or "going to a movie with that cute girl from your math class". Things you should enjoy. Things that'd help you be social. Things that make you feel human.)

Hmmm question about ao3 tagging for yall since I've never rly published fics on ao3 (i was a fanfic.de/.net kinda guy)

So my fic, wolau, is focused on a main character (grian) who isn't in a romantic relationship with anyone. However, 2 other members of the main cast (boat boys) have a kind of ambiguous / lowkey romantic relationship. And I'm not sure whether i should just tag it Gen, or both Gen and M/M? Cause there will be some bits and bobs out of their pov.

OH ALSO I might end up splitting wolau into multiple fics (one for each major arc) bc of tags and such, if i end up doing that then the first one will DEFINITELY be Gen, since the relationship only rly starts in the second to third arc

it's ethos dream update time!!!!!! this is all i have so far and turns out this idea has developed into a lot more including a whole fanfic idea hahahhaha (i will never write it😇😇😇)

my brain explodes about this guy usually😊

the sing is "ayxita, wake up" by yves tumor

check out boat boys part (which hasn't been added to this sequence yet😏😏😉)

My personal fav headcanon for c!joe is that hes just some Ghost that ended up on the hermitcraft server and ended up possessing a villager corpse to interact w/ the others.

Eventually he got sick of possessing new corpses every season, and with cleos help he got a new body: a Muppet

So basically: nothing changed. He still wants the government gone, just this time bc he doesn't wanna work for it anymore LMFAO

Honestly if he starts a revolution against the permit office so he wouldn't have to work anymore, i wouldnt even be surprised. Maybe that's the real reason hes making the permits such a pain: Cause he wants others to overthrow him.

Season 6-9

Grian: RESITANCE!! THE GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT STAND!

Season 10

Grian: I am the government. Do i want to be, no, am I anyways, yes.

Grian perching on Cleo? And Cleo just

not being phased by the sudden weight in the slightest?

*anything hermitcraft, life series or empires related is fine! BIG DISCLAIMER THO: u might have to wait a while, im p busy and although i do finish all requests eventually, it usually takes me a few days and sometimes even months :)

DO YOU WANT ME TO DM YOU ABOUT SAID AU

Yeah sure

[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-

(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)

Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd

(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)

Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?

So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.

(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)

Decided to redraw the art for chapter 1 of wolau :D

Close ups below!

Go check out the fic it's for!
