#but they have to be for physical tasks

[dailymantra]

i've read several articles now about how to establish writing routines and habits (cause man howdy oh boy the lack of inspiration from mental fatigue yikes) but the advice is never helpful cause it boils down to "you should establish a routine. so do that." and my neurodivergent procrastinating ass just spent twenty minutes attempting to read a five minute article so we need to boil it down even further folks

#i am very lucky to be in a position where i have time to write #and a monetary reason to write #creatively no less! #i just really need my brain to be on board #but building self-discipline is hard when #you actively sabotage yourself #unintentionally #it's a lot to unpack #and adhd advice of make a list is not helpful either #i love lists #but they have to be for physical tasks #i can't make creativity lists

Batman (1940-) #427

Task Force Z #6 (2022)

You tell him, Jason.

#the mistakes in question: trusting and trying to help someone who was supposed to love and protect *him* #and wanting a parent/family who wants and accepts him #all things considered (re: gotham war) I think I can safely confirm his biggest mistake by far was trusting Bruce #jason todd #robin jason #red hood #dc #batman: a death in the family #aditf #task force z #tfz #aditf was just Jason having all of his worst fears confirmed before dying an equally *physically* painful death #he is not a priority to Bruce. Bruce doesn’t understand his pain. his biological mother heartlessly sold him out. he is without a family. #but also #how the fuck do you accidentally run into your 15 year old kid who fled to a foreign country after you two had a fight #accidentally.

"Always up for a good jog -- otherwise, would I still be *on* this case with *you*?" He smiles and raises his collar. It's windy.

ik it’s probably a classic case of extrapolating way too much but... the way raph’s character design lines up w his whole arc and role and struggles...

like the fact that he is so so so much bigger than the others. raph is big, raph is strong, raph is steady and sturdy and he can literally pick up his entire family and carry them all at once. 

and like, when raph is so big and so strong and such a reliable thing. when raph is the protector, the one calling the shots on missions, the mother hen, the first point of authority. when raph is there, overprotective, when raph (for all that his brothers poke at him not being good under pressure) always always ALWAYS comes through at the end of the day when things are serious, ALWAYS gives it everything he’s got. 

his design and his learned role/behaviors in this family are just the perfect storm of why it took up to the season finale to drive home the issue.

so much of the series carries the default energy of “raph will handle it.”

raph will hold up the ceiling above you. raph will throw himself over you and take a hit and get back up and keep fighting. raph has a power that makes him even bigger and draws more attention and makes him able to carry MORE. raph will be the substitute parent. raph will be put into the mentor role through leo’s leadership arc. 

and raph is big. he’s built to carry heavy loads. raph is strong. raph is bold and loud and always ready to try to push on. even if he doesn’t know what to do or what he’s doing, he won’t give up and we’ll all pull together and things will turn out okay.

(his room is full of teddy bears. he dipped out on a mission to try to take a picture of a pigeon carrying a slice of pizza. he’s terrified of being alone.

he’s just as much of a kid as his brothers are. he’s just as new and inexperienced with the things happening to them as his brothers are. but for him, for some reason, there’s like this double standard where that becomes a huge glaring flaw.)

idk this got very sloppy and uncoordinated. i’m very in my feelings about raph right now though.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt raph #rise raph #rottmnt raphael #honestly i could go on forever and ever about the double standard thing where raph is concerned #like. w movie leo especially leo is learning lessons raph also had to learn in the series! making very similar mistakes! #but you never see analyses or essays pointing to those bad calls as signs that leo isn't up to the task... #(i mean there are some clear Reasons why that happens.) #(its the reason why raph and mikey are the bros who get the least content by a MILE. but. not the point of this post.) #the whole point is just the idle subconscious assumption and associations of it being fine to let raph carry everything #literally physically sure but also metaphorically #and the plight of the child who seems to Need Nothing (all children need; some sadly learn not to appear to need) #even my tags are incoherent rn clenches fists i love him so much is all #like there is a reason it takes to the series finale for him to have a proper breakdown and get actual support from his bros #and i am still mad we never got real good content for him and splinter #considering how similar their arcs ARE.... #thats a whole other thing whatever

dishes are forever

#I MISSED HAVING A TABLET!!!! #ht papyrus #a gentle touch when you're sad #a menacing touch when it would be funny #he can do it all #LITTLE PRO TIP LIFE HACK THOUGH: IF WASHING DISHES MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET #MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO MANY DANG DISHES #BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAVE 80% FEWER DISHES THAN BEFORE MEANS I DO DISHES MORE OFTEN BUT IT'S SO EASY #AND NOT SOUL SUCKING AT ALL #JUST MY EXPERIENCE!!!!!! THAT'S ALL #I'm sure when i am reunited with my other dishes i will languish in bed staring at this psyching myself up to the task #but i like keeping random jars from food i bought and dishes that i picked up in different places. #they physically remind me of everywhere I've been and sometimes i just look at them and remember where I've been #my favorite is the old ratatouille jar i bought at carrefour in Chengdu #that jarred ratatouille was the nastiest food to grace this earth #i bought it in case it would make a quick easy meal (you don't really find those at the grocery store in China at least not back then) #but even my cheap lazy self couldn't eat it #so no one ever consumed that ratatouille but the jar was pretty big so i put other stuff in it and now it's my dish #and somehow the label is glued on PERMANENTLY it has never washed off after all these years #actually idk maybe it eventually did it isn't here for me to look at but it lasted a long time i know that

unemployment hell 🤝

on all levels but physical I am gifting you a hot chocolate and a soft blanket, beloved

I would love nothing more

#my art #causeimanartist #drawing of me #thank you for the sweet message 💙 #I wish this was physically me but it was like 80 degrees today and I'm a sweaty bitch #I want sweater weather so I can look cute and drink hot chocolate from my extensive mug collection #have I ever revealed that fact? that I collect mugs? #99% of them aren't even for drinking - I have them sitting on my dresser and book shelves #holding trinkets and scrunchies #ya know - normal mug tasks #hopefully we both escape unemployment hell soon #I had an interview last Friday but then haven't heard anything since so :( #back to LinkedIn my fucking enemy #all it suggests to me are either legal assistant roles (never again please - I'm over lawyers and law firms) #or perfect jobs for me that aren't in my state #like sir #stop suggesting museum positions in dc #that's the wrong side of the country

it kind of sucks when all your friends and family, everyone you know, are all pairing off and getting married and havinf families, except you. you're the only one that doesn't have a partner and probably can/will never get one. especially if one around you has time for you anymore, they never reach out, never get back to you, because they're only focused on their partners and families. you're stuck alone and drift away from everyone through no fault of your own. you have no hope of finding your own partner or no motivation to look for one for whatever reason. the lack of connections while seeing everyone around you having their own can get overwhelmingly lonely at times....

#autism #autistic #asexual #aromantic #these are probably the two factors that put me in this position #im undateable because im too autistic to form any connections with people and cant even make or keep friends around for long #so how would i ever try to date anyone???? #and also asexual which makes it harder. and aromantic (not sure what kind if its like demi and i just need to meet “the one” #and form a connection first to actually have any feelimgs for anyone or not sure if I simply cannot experience romantic attraction #either way its a lonely existence in a world where 99% of people pair off or obsessed with trying to partner up #and theres less value/time/effort put on friendships #ON TOP OF being autistic and forming any connections at ALL is an extremely difficult task that seems to always fail on me! #lee rants #lee rambles #im actually visiting a friend and her gf (who is also friend but we are less close) so i know not everyone partners and shuns friends #but they live in another country and i cant visit all the time so it doesnt help this lonely shit feeling all the time D: to have ~1 friend #would be nice to have all the close benefits and of a dating partnership without the physical stuff and pressure of “dating” #if thar makes sense. best friends but life patners. the person is obligated to help me and bw there for me at all times #someone who chooses me first instead of others. someone that doesnt make me their last choice all the time #their very comfortable to be around and we relate and get along perfectly and make up for each others weaknesses #my favorite person and im their favorite person #they usually always say yes to me and include me and im their first choice for eveything #they respect my needs and boundaries and work with me if we have a misunderstanding or disagreement. #its so hard to find people like this. someone who matches me well enough to fit all these picky things i want #someone who would like me enough to be like this. someone im comfortable with and like who fits the energy i want #even if someone liked ME enough and was these thjngs if they arent comfortable or match my energy then i dont want them #im not desperate enough to take Anyone ans im extremely picky about it #being aroace makes any kind of datimg very hard because theres ~less fish in the sea~ #but being autistic makes it EVEN HARDER becuase i cant even make and keep FRIENDS so how would i have a /partner/ ????? #sighs. i think im meant to live a lonely life and need to learn to accept it

kids gotta start playing with physical toys again i'm not even joking. if you've got nieces nephews kids of your own even a family friend with a little one you've gotta at least give them a stuffed animal, blocks, dolls, a tactile puzzle, ANYTHING i'm begging you. if you've got the jurisdiction to enact screentime limits PLEASE enact screentime limits. please

#ive been on my ''stop giving babies ipads'' streak ever since i found out people were giving babies ipads #but my parents also work in a school so now my disdain for the ipad baby is backed up by evidence of negative effects #my dad works with elementary schoolers on and off and he says the 1st grade teachers are scared bc #this group of kids doesn't have any hand strength and they are having a hard time with #basic tasks like cutting paper with craft scissors... its the ipad baby effect #please give your kids physical things to play with and also put restrictions on the screens #cricket.chatterbox

Devastatingly, my stipend application for one year of artistic work was denied. They can't specify why due to the high volume of applications. The type of application I sent is extremely competitive and only about 10% go through. I've also heard it's incredibly hard for 1st timers and new artists to get any grants so it's not shocking, it still stings though.

Gonna be a very difficult year economically unless I magically get an actual job and not just an internship.

#I'll probably make a new application come November #and should make a separate one to a different art organisation #aughhh the artist's anguish is real #in other news my internship at the cinema is going well #I have not learned much of any Finnish whatsoever but the physical tasks themselves are okay--sometimes mildly fulfilling even #if things get bad I can always try opening commissions again for extra cash #9 euros a day is frankly beyond shit pay

god one of the worst things I think with chronic headaches is the different range of abilities you have depending on how painful the hurt is and/or what TYPE of hurt it is. I particularly hate the ones that effect my vision, because with sunglasses and a podcast distraction I can drive anywhere I want for errands (even if it will be in pain, I am still physically able to do so with limitations), however what I can not do is look at a TV or laptop screen for the life of me. so any online coursework that I am obliged to do and that has a deadline, I can barely accomplish :))

#like i dunno i feel like chronic headaches are some of the more common chronic pain conditions i see other people have #so maybe this complaint falls on deaf ears #but i have headaches almost daily and so many of my mundane tasks i have just. gotten used to doing while having a painful headache #its this line between physically semi-able and in a lot of pain #but that line dictates what you can do #and it just sucks when i should. for all intensive purposes be able to complete this homework on time #it will take me twice as long just because i happen to have a headache that wont ago away :v #cw chronic pain #cw health #westy's shit

rereading the inheritance cycle and

WHO WOULD WIN

The tempting release of death

Or

One (1) Bumblebee

#THE FATE OF ALAGAESIA REALLY DEPENDED ON THAT ONE BUMBLEBEE #for context #in the inheritance series magic has a price. whatever you do requires energy equal to accomplishing the task by mundane means #eragon fought with magic and healed with magic during a battle that also taxed him physically #and then the dumbass decides to use magic to descend a gigantic cliff carrying another man #and when he got to the bottom he was literally so exhausted and close to death he wasnt even afraid ans had no will to live #literally so tired he was like ok at least I'll rest #when a bee flies in front of his face and reawakes his appreciation for the beauty of life and inspires him to take energy from plants #to survive #so yeah alagaesia would have lost its ONE HOPE OF DEFEATING THE BIG BAD #if NOT for that bumblebee who thought a rock was a flower #me during this whole scene: YOU IDIOT HE ISN'T WORTH IT YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM #bc the dude hes putting himself into horrific mortal danger for is a KNOWN BASTARD

every day i think about the physical and biological implications of asra giving up half his heart

#like what does it MEAN...is it a metaphorical thing or does mc literally have his left ventricle and atrium.... #and if it's a physical thing. how long can both of them survive like that. how does it affect their ability to perform physical tasks. #will they need transplants further down the line? if one of them dies does the other get the rest of the heart? if so how does that work? #does it HURT? #sorry im too interested in organs to appreciate the romanticness or whatever i just have a lotta follow up questions #the arcana #asra alnazar

Like so growing up I was always warned about the encroaching evils of technology by the adults who were around me -- but what they were warning me about was, like, your technology will be used to spy on you and then control you, like they'll see that you're ordering a meat lover's pizza but decide that based on some profiling or other you're at risk for high blood pressure and make you order a vegetarian instead or whatever.

That's just not what I actually am seeing when I see technology used for evil these days. The thing that the adults around me feared was evil, yes, but it was a sort of logical, reasoned out evil, and it's not at all what's actually happening for the most part. Because what I see is more along the lines of, like, you buy a smart coffee maker, right? The coffee maker takes some initial instructions and then learns your schedule and predicts when you want coffee and makes coffee for you at those times, right? So you tell your coffee maker that you want coffee at 6AM and 7PM, because that's typically when you drink coffee, and at first it works great! But then after a while it notices that you also enter the kitchen at 11AM and 2:15PM and it decides that you must be looking for coffee at these times, right, but instead of making coffee at those times as well it averages all the times together and starts making four cups of coffee once a day at 12:56PM, a time when you are not even in the kitchen, and because all it knows is making coffee and frankly more math than it needs to you will never again persuade it that you don't actually want coffee at that time, and it will never make coffee at 6AM or 7PM again.

And to me this is actually worse because there's no rhyme or reason behind it. The people who made the smart coffee maker are not gleefully rubbing their hands together and cackling over the success of their plot to deprive you of coffee except at 12:56PM. They're not well-intentioned dictators who have got it into their heads that it's only healthy to consume coffee between 12:53 and 12:58 and they're doing you a favor by doing this. They either don't know this is happening, know that it's happening but don't care, or this is how they like their coffee to be served to them and don't understand that most people don't want that. It's an evil born of ignorance or apathy or both, and I think that's worse, personally.

Edit: and lest anyone think my use of the word "evil" is unwarranted here, know that a lot of medical technology is also starting to hinge on this extremely flawed AI prediction model, not to speak of self-driving cars.

#this is also how the engineers at work think #'i see that youve done X twice. why dont you combine those two tasks and do it just once?' #'well because i have to do X before i can move on to Y or Y wont work.' #'and then after doing Y i have to do X again so that the computer knows that Y was done.' #and theyre like 'but it would save so much time if you did them both at the same time' #sure would! but thats physically impossible so why are we having this conversation? #well im just annoyed at them #they cant help it theyre engineers #the coffee maker should know better
