Omggg please go into detail 🙏🏾I need them for… *cough* *cough* reasons
I'll do a few but any others I'll be happy to go into detail for them as well!
Zalgo is the strongest, having free access to portals, magic, minions, and has a large cult following that will easily sacrifice themselves for him. He's also in good with HABIT, who is on the same path as him. He can easily defeat anyone he wishes, and is technically on a good path toward universal domination if it wasn't for others standing in his way (Slender, HABIT dragging him down, the elders prohibiting it entirely).
Slender is magically intellegent, as well as having a knack for always being one step ahead of his enemies. He knows them inside and out, and, like Zalgo, has access to portals, magic, and proxies instead of mindless minions.
The proxies having free will is both a leg up and a detriment to any strength he has. They can think of things he won't be able to, including the 6th sense of fear and prediction that humans have, unlike him. On the other hand, humans aren't the smartest creatures, and they're incredibly vulnerable to attack. Slender has many connections and can call a few into battle if need be. But silver is a weakness, and so are certain runes that are sure to leave a deadly mark.
Offender is the third strongest, and packs a mean punch. He's more physical with his magic. And it is on record he punched Zalgo in the face and got away unscathed. He's fearless, but that's also a con, because he will charge head-first into situations. He has easy access to magic and weapons. He knows how to kick some ass if need be.
What are your strengths? Look at yourself and be honest. If there is something that you're good at, then consider it to be one of your strengths. See, sometimes we may put ourselves down and disregard and devalue our strengths in an effort to show ourselves as humble. However, there is nothing wrong with knowing what your strengths are and being proud of what you are capable of.
When we downplay our strengths like that and tell ourselves and others that we "aren't good at something" even though we may be extremely good at it, two things happen. One of those things is that we begin to lose sight of who we are and of what we are actually capable. The second thing that happens is that we prevent ourselves from growing and from getting better at that particular thing, or at other things that we also may be good at but don't believe ourselves to be.
Never be afraid just to give a simple "thank you" when you receive compliments on your abilities or on your good qualities. It is very likely that you have worked or are working hard to maintain those skills. You deserve credit for that.
What do you consider as your writing talents; dialogue, action, exposition, fluff, angst, worldbuilding, character building, smut…?
Such a cute gif! And, ooh, I don't know how to answer this. I have no talents. 😂 Okay, no. I will say something nice about myself.
If I had to choose a strength or talent, probably dialogue. Whether I'm trying to portray something funny, sweet, etc., through the "spoken" word it feels natural. I believe it reads that way.
My character building and worldbuilding has room to grow, but I think my characters stand out in their worlds the way they're meant to. I would not consider my imagery as a strength, but I think I still manage to portray the tone and emotions for my fics. I don't think I write action well.
No. Nice things. 😂 Dialogue with a touch of emotion. And fictional men who are crazy about the reader. That's a strength, right?
One of the most empowering aspects of being on the autism spectrum can be the development of self-advocacy skills. Learning to express our needs, rights, and wishes can profoundly shape our experiences and the way we navigate through the world.
Self-advocacy doesn't have to mean we take on every challenge alone; it’s about understanding our needs and being able to communicate them effectively to those around us. It can mean seeking appropriate supports and accommodations, standing up against discrimination, or simply making choices that align with our individual comfort and happiness.
But self-advocacy also poses its unique challenges, particularly when it comes to facing misunderstanding, prejudice, or outright denial of our needs. It's a skill that requires constant learning and adaptation.
What are your experiences with self-advocacy? How has it helped you in your journey? What obstacles have you faced and how have you overcome them? I’d love to hear your stories and tips for effective self-advocacy.
Hiii! Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (sorry if you have received this already feel free to skip it if so! ❤️)
Thank you for thinking of me! I´ll make sure to offer others the same opportunity to contemplate their strengths.
Jot down my strengths and weaknesses, ok, no problem…. commence crickets chirping.
With all kidding aside, I know I have some great strengths and some not-so-great weaknesses, so what are they?
Some of my strengths could be noted as my ability for conversation or small talk, encouragement of others, finding common ground and quick thinking. I work in an elementary school with young children, I also coach my local U5 division hockey team. These roles allow me to use my strengths to successfully complete and enjoy my job each day. I find joy in relating to and understanding the needs of children, while helping them navigate their interests, impulses, and behaviors. It is important to always support children in ways that develop and maintain a sense of wellbeing, belonging, engagement and expression, to ensure their optimal development. Having an ability to think quickly and offer options and solutions to children in their time of need or hesitation makes for a more supported and positive outcome. My strengths have allowed me to experience and develop a love for working with children and families.
Now my weaknesses, self-doubt, anything financial, over-analyzing and fear of failure are all weaknesses that jump out to me almost immediately. I know that my weaknesses slow me down, and there are times where plans, ideas and experiences work out just fine and I see the downfall of me letting these weaknesses creep in and slow me down or stop me completely, but I continue to go to back to them for some reason. I have a great support system in my life, and I even have a husband who is an entrepreneur himself, so I think I need to lean into my supports and take more chances. This approach could allow me to try harder to believe in myself whether I fail or not and to also not be afraid of taking more chances. An easy fix for my lack of financial skills would be maybe looking into a bookkeeping course or even reading some literature to open my thoughts and understanding of financials and how to start being more aware of that aspect of my life.
Reflection isn’t an easy task, but it is a pretty eye opening and in some ways gratifying. Seeing your weakness and admitting to them is hard but it also provides us with a chance to face them head on and make a change for growth. Also acknowledging your strengths can really boost that image of yourself and give you that pat on the back you might not always remember to give yourself.
I like numbers. I do. Financial planning is interesting and exciting to me because it is a fluctuating creature and varies greatly from venture to venture. I consider financial planning a strength due to my history and success with it, not only personally but aiding insolvent persons and small businesses when I worked at BDO in the bankruptcy industry. Other strengths include problem solving, sales, and curiosity which could also be considered a weakness because it gets me into trouble. While I enjoy playing with numbers, finding money for folks, and balancing books, I am not so great at balancing humans and their feelings – in other words, people management.
I have been a café manager before and had no issues in sales or resolving customer conflicts. It was resolving employee conflicts that I found difficult. I enjoyed some aspects of management but keeping the peace among staff was not one of them. Another weakness for me when looking at a list of entrepreneurial skills is negotiation. I feel uncomfortable in negotiations when there is an unclear goal or point, and if the person(s) I am interacting with in negotiations are poor communicators, which in my small experience, feels like every time. Perhaps I need to practise it more to find out if it is a weakness that could be turned into a strength.
All this to say, the spirit of my entrepreneurial ship is propelled by financial planning and sales but is deterred by people management and negotiation.
I've been mapping out my strengths and weaknesses with memory and whatnot (so I know where I need support) and it's just so funny because it feels like someone had the list of "things I should conceivably be good at remembering" and instead of balancing it out in any way, just took a handful of darts and threw them at the list blindly.
Faces? Can't forget them. Names? Might as well have not heard in the first place. I have auditory processing issues, but my acoustic memory just allowed me to identify someone without seeing them, after hearing them speak only two words, because they used to be on a TV show I watched over a decade ago. I remember how an old friend takes his coffee even though I haven't spoken to him in years. Do I remember what I ate for breakfast this morning? Absolutely not. I can't remember where I put my keys, or why I added raisins to my shopping list, but I can describe exactly where to find a paperclip on the cluttered floor of my office (right side, under the desk, underneath the recycling by the baseboard). What I'm saying is memory is weird and wild and wonderful and sometimes it's really frustrating but can also leave you with the same sense of satisfaction as when you're working on a 3D puzzle and everything just clicks together.

New post today, this one about types of ADHD and our strengths.
There are three types of ADHD: Inattentive Type (ADHD-I), Hyperactive/Impulsive Type (ADHD-HI), and Combined Type (ADHD-C). Is it really as simple as this, though? Well, sort of. Let’s talk about it.
Pinnable image for this post, featuring a person running up a flight of stairs towards a light bulb.
The first thing to remember is that ADHD is diagnosed based on observed behaviours. The second…
