Sometimes I think my therapist was very wrong and I do, in fact, have ADHD and maybe knowing that fact for certain and getting access to ways to manage it would help a lot actually.
"Oh *****'s such a gifted child, she's very smart and answers all the teacher's questions. There's no way something could possibly be different about her!"
Then the years go by and I get worse and worse in class as teachers start assigning homework and projects but it can't be any sort of neurodivergence because '***** was always such a smart child, she's clearly just not putting in the effort anymore.'
I barely take care of myself because doing things like brushing my teeth or taking a shower or cleaning my room don't... Make me feel accomplished in any way, they just make me feel like I wasted my time and now my mouth tastes like mint and I can't eat or I'm all cold and wet or my stuff is just going to get taken back out anyway. It's probably depression or an anxiety disorder, let's give her some medicine for that.
The medicine helps me with some mild mood swings, but those become a non-issue when I'm out of school and the effort put in driving to the pharmacy and refilling my prescription just isn't worth it anymore.
I should probably go to the doctor, the dentist, the optometrist, but I really don't feel like scheduling an appointment right now, it can wait until my schedule's more free. Then my schedule gets more free and I forget because I always do unless the problem is right in front of me. There's a crack in the ceiling of my room that I should probably tell my parents about but I kept forgetting until my dad walked into my room and saw the crack himself.
Is something wrong with me? Or am I just lazy?
My therapist was probably right. I don't have ADHD, I'm just not putting in the effort.
Y'all ever find a comic that you think is pretty dang good and you enjoy a decent amount so you follow the account that's posting it and still the comic is good but the person making it is,, just kinda an asshole?
Like not even a bad person they're just kinda condescending or rude or smth when perhaps answering asks or talking about their comic on its tag and you really don't think that's worth abandoning their generally pretty good work for but it just kinda sours you to the whole thing? And you can understand why they would say something so rude/condescending because making a comic and dealing with people being kinda dumb is stressful but it still makes the comic itself feel.. blehh.
That's happened to me at least 5 times now, it's a strange phenomenon.
Random bit of Lightning Lore: One time I was sewing because I like sewing sometimes. I had one of those pizza cutters but for fabric and was trying to cut through some fabric with it, like you do. But my middle finger on my left hand was just an itty bit too close to the edge of the ruler I was using to keep my line straight and I sliced clean through the part of the finger where the outer edge of your nail meets skin. There wasn't even any blood or anything, just a clean cut through my finger.
...I honestly can't believe my lore was just an injury story, secondary lore: whenever I'm trying to fall asleep at night I'll usually imagine a self-insert character interacting with whatever story seems most fun to interact with at the moment. Currently it's my Wings of Fire OC Streak existing in the MHAverse and working on the side of the league of villains because she got isekai'd there and AFO immediately asserted himself as the 'queen' of her 'tribe' because hello this is a freaking dragon of course AFO is going to force her on his side. Streak's not happy about it, but she's tired of going against her tribe (OC lore) and doesn't bother trying to leave. That doesn't mean she won't try to spare the children wherever she can because hello those are little dragonets wtf your majesty.
Anyway she keeps referring to Shigaraki as princess because in her mind, calling him a prince would be an insult and it's low-key kinda hilarious imagining how people keep thinking "there's another head of the LoV??" When it's literally just Shiggy who's very not happy about being called a princess.
it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
Plus, for Storm, my LU OC, they'd end up a cat. Very snarky, very cat. Because I will never give up on self inserts because I don't care if it's cringe.
My headcanons for what each link would become when exposed to the shard of twilight/to the dark world and why.
Skyward sword Link (sky): straight up puppy. He's a very friendly, sociable, and loyal Link. Maybe more like a golden retriever
Minish cap Link (minish): Mouse! Very tiny mouse. I think he's generally pretty shy, cautious, so a small rodent would make a lot of sense.
Ocarina of Time/Majora's mask (time): Canon wolf.
ALTTP, Oracles, & Link's awakening (legend): Canon bunny
LoZ I and II (Hyrule): I don't really know em that much but I think dog, maybe even Retriever, like Sky. Mostly based off LU.
Twilight princess (twilight): canon wolf
Four swords adventures: Rats! Since they're very social, could split into a rat pack. Rats can have a very wide range of personalities, like most other pets, but I think they fit Shadow Link a bit more, so by default I go rat.
Wind waker & phantom hourglass(wind): Frog, because I want them to be able to handle both land and water.
Spirit tracks: I got no clue I never played that.
Hyrule warriors (warriors): cat. Very pretty, very opinionated. Will tell you if you're annoying them.
Age of Calamity (Champion, different from post-memory wipe Link): A dog. But now, a very specifically trained dog, like a German shepherd.
Breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom: They're a blupee. If you'd prefer a real animal, a mischievous little rat. But I prefer blupee because he is very much a little blue guy that runs around the forest
Excuse me this is genius lemme just writes down frantically
I'd love to see, like, a zelda/terraria fic where links newest incarnation or whatever gets spawned in as the player character. Maybe a specific Link?
Because terraria is absolutely chock full of enemies to fight, dungeons to loot, weapons to find or forge, people to save, quests to fill. And it'd be about link surviving all of this, working his way up to defeating the moon lord. Making friends, figuring out how to build, going fishing, gathering cool items, just generally a lot of stuff he could do before, yeah, but it'd be a nice change of pace. Maybe zelda can be there!! That'd be fun!
Heck, maybe it could be a sort of dream fish or eventide situation, where link wakes up with nothing but the clothes on his back and has to defeat the moon lord to break the barriers around the island that terraria takes place on. Maybe there's time dilation?
But it'd be a really interesting thing to imagine, all the different things link could do! Him strategising against invading armies like in hyrule warriors/aoc, him delving into the mines to gather materials like totk, finding npcs and inviting them home to keep them safe and building a whole community (totk/botw), practicing sword forms with the increasingly extra and flashy swords, small blonde elf putting on his armour to face giant new bosses. WINGS!! Him working with summons and archery and giant shoulder mounted cannons XD.
Ooh, what if it was the whole chain in terraria?? And hylia gave them a break for enrichment XD.
Basically it's a random idea but wouldn't it be cool to give link cool glowy swords and wings and armour?? And he could run on water???
Someone please tag me whenever whatever this is is done I need it desperately š
Some of you seemed very concerned about poor Shadow in the teaser sketch I posted for the fic @not-freyja and I are currently planning.
Rest assured, Shadow isn't the only one who is going to suffer greatly in this story. ā¤ļø

So, this might be an unpopular opinion and I donāt care if I get hate! BUT! I have a bone to pick with the Zelda community. I canāt believe you guys⦠this is disgustingā¦. Now- you might be thinking āGet to the point ā and I will! I think the CDI games are better than Totk and Botw all together! YEAH! I SAID IT! The games are mid at best! Donāt believe me? Let me get out my notes⦠-shuffles papers- Ahem! Letās begin with the graphics. The CDI games are obviously superior and magnificent in every aspect there. Better colors and better animation of course. And donāt even get me started with the storytelling. We all know the CDI games triumph there. I donāt even need to get into it actually because it's so obvious⦠Actually! I donāt even need to explain myself because my opinion is not even an opinion itās a FACT! And anyone who disagrees is WRONG! And should go buy a little snack for themselves! because you need the calories in your brains! Yeah! Just roasted you guys! And now that Iām started. Letās talk about the Links! Wild is simply unappealing in every way! He has no flair at all. No cap. And Koridai? He can rizz up any gay person out there! That is plain as day! And if you donāt agree? Then I guess you and me can just not breathe the same air together anymore⦠fr fr in conclusion? Nintendo needs to hire me. Thatās a given, unmistakably.
Y'all ever find a fic that just latches onto your brain and refuses to let go? I have definitely spent a healthy amount of time thinking about Otherworld Messiah I promise. Have some art for this amazing, wonderful fic!
I had a lot of fun drawing this. This style actually feels really comfortable compared to my less cartoony style, it's certainly a lot more fun to doodle in during work!
Here's the timelapse if any of y'all wanna see it, slight flash warning because it goes really fast and switches backgrounds.
I wanna tag the author but idk if they have a Tumblr so just go read the fic, it's a lot of fun!
I wrote a fic about the fierce deity! I enjoy his character in a lot of other fics, so I figured it'd be fun to try writing him myself. I'm not all that experienced a writer, at least not with fiction, so constructive criticism is very appreciated! Just like,, don't be mean I'm still learning.
This looks amazing!! I love all of them
I wanted the Minish to look a bit more mouse like and to have some more interesting variations for different habitats! I'll do some designs to show off hair/clothes/ect at a later point but these are just ideas for body types.
I've decided to draw the Link with the best fanfics (fight me on this I dare you,) and the most fun to write, Four! Very different from Minish, thank you very much. Four is just a slightly too smug adult and he's got some issues when it comes to flirting with dark mischievous villain types. Absolutely Vio's fault.
