ADHD ‘Dolphin minds’ : an extremely relatable thread
other ND people can actually connect the dots bc our minds are also going that fast. I’ve had it happen when I was talking to someone jumped, tried to explain, and they were like “no no I get it’s because said x and then you thought about y so z obviously” and man that kind’ve shit is why I dont wanna talk to NTs ever again.
This metaphor is pretty interesting because a Dolphin is and organism meant to move from one source of extremely briefly available source of calories to another extremely briefly available source of calories across a vast and unforgiving liquid desert which is a weirdly apt paralell to what being unable to produce enough dopamine and having to constantly move between sources of stimulation to avoid mentally starving and sinking into the black abyss of depression.
ruth bader ginsburg lived 87 fucking long years, helped secure abortion rights, marriage equality, and immigration rights among loads of other things.
remember her legacy as both a supreme court justice, as an advocate and icon in equality movements, and as the woman who wouldn’t take no shit from donald trump, sticking through multiple battles with cancer to preserve our rights.
“I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability.”
I like the idea of only mages getting familiars! I can imagine a kid waking up one day and finding a familiar by their side and that could be how they realize they’re a mage.
Hmmm… good suggestion! I do like the idea of the Familiar choosing their partner over them being given to someone, although I’m not partial on them being the indication that someone’s a mage. Anyone can be a mage (technically anyway), but it isn’t something I see as a destiny-driven thing that’s signified by having a Familiar. O:
Instead, if it remains exclusive to mages, what I’m thinking is mages of the court, once they’ve proven themselves worthy of the training, will have to go through a rite in which they have to approach Familiars and see which of them chooses them.
Ravio could be a special case in that he had Sheerow way before trying to become a mage; maybe Sheerow either got lost or his original partner left him in the wilderness to perish because they wanted a “better familiar”, but babu Ravio finds him and takes care of him, and that prompts Sheerow to choose him as his bond-partner.
Or somethin’ along those lines owo
ALTERNATIVELY! Ravio is the only one who has anything like Sheerow, and “familiars” either aren’t a thing or are a different creature entirely. Maybe Sheerow is a youngster of, say, a species of wild animal known for their fierceness, so the fact that Ravio even has one, even so young, is a marvel. In this scenario, Sheerow will eventually grow large enough to be a mount, so this way he could have a counterpoint to Link having Epona. o:
I drew the little fella! The square beside him houses his original in-game design to give ya’ll a visual of what I drew from! :3
As for his role, still trying to decide what it is, though I’m no longer going with him being a familiar. I’m more thinking of fully going with the alt idea I mentioned above (where Sheerow will grow large enough to ride like a horse), or just making it so Sheerow is simply Ravio’s little animal companion. O:
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her entire life fighting for justice for women, people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, those with disabilities, and those who suffered religious persecution. Her life’s work was dedicated to helping those who need it most.
There are many people on Tumblr expressing their grief, fear, sadness, anger, and pain tonight as we all process her death. Feel whatever you need to feel right now. Let it out. It is healthy. Reach out for a little help if you need it. That’s healthy, too.
And then, when you’re ready, consider making a plan to honor the woman who fought for all of us with civic action. If you have spare time, consider using it to phone bank or text bank for an official who could use the volunteers. If you have spare cash, find a legal aid or bail fund to assist someone who needs it more. If you have the opportunity to help out anyone, seize it. If you’re eligible to vote, please vote. People like RBG are why you have the right to do so.
