Paranatural has some really creative and/or fun examples of that! There's a ghost train that bends obstacles around itself to pass through, sorta like pushing invisible barriers unto others. And then there's the actual invisible barrier around the town that stops supernatural beings from entering.

I'm not into them either but they remind me a lot of the Monchhichi dolls from the 70s/80s. Idk about other countries but these fuckers were insanely popular in Germany. I guess it's human nature for people to be obsessed with collecting Little Guys every couple of decades.

After not vibing with its mechanics at all back then when the game came out, I finally finished #rainworld!
and I loved it!! a lot!!!

(by "finished" I mean I played Survivor + Monk in that order, I'm still making my way through the other campaigns)

A collection of digital drawings of a white slugcat, a creature from the game Rain World, on a gray background. There are 4 drawings:
Slugcat no 1 is holding a spear in its hands.
Slugcat no 2 is squinting its eyes and waving.
Slugcat no 3 is popping its head out from the left border of the image.
Slugcat no 4 is sleeping on its back.

A digital drawing of two slugcats squished together inside a square shelter. Slugcats are fictional creatures from the game Rain World. One is white, the other is yellow. They're curled around each other like slugs and embrace each other with their thin arms. They look peaceful and sleepy.

Anyone remember The DOG Island? sometimes you just gotta boot up some nostalgic dog games from your childhood ~

A digital drawing of a bullterrier looking up with a black, vaguely mouse-like silhouette sitting on its nose. The bullterrier's head is way bigger than the rest of its body, giving it a cartoonish "chibi" look. The dog is wearing glasses with black frames and a black wristband around its left paw. The dog is smiling and panting slightly, with its pink tongue sticking playfully out. It's standing on lush grass. The silhouette, a shadowy being, is looking down at the dog and smiling.

omg I loved Catz 2 so much!! Even though as a kid it confused me that it had nothing to do with the previous Petz sim games, and I also didn't get why it seemed like a copy of The DOG Island lol. But I enjoyed it regardless! (Then I got older and read up a bit about its dev history)

#Digimon
Culumon meets the fancy Gemmon ✨

A digital drawing of the two Digimon Culumon and Gemmon meeting each other. Culumon (on the left) is a small creature with big, shiny eyes and two spikey wing-like ears sprouting from its head. It is hopping into the ear and marveling at Gemmon. Gemmon (on the right) has similar wing-like ears, but its ears seem fluffier and resemble feathers more than Culumon's. Its tail and tuft around its neck appear made out of clouds. It has one big, gold-rimmed gem on its forehead, and several smaller gems are scattered on its chest and tail. Gemmon is proudly posing for Culumon.

No problem! I guess these technical hiccups have smth positive tho, it reminds me to leave comments for the comic!

Same! I think the scene in Secret of NIMH where they use a lantern as an underwater elevator permanently rewired my brain

I'm so sorry Bajingo for pointing it out again but the pages are switched up 😭 cf is really putting up a fight

also I LOVE the detail with the "gigantic" open pipe sticking out of the wall! and the big light bulb! Environmental design that highlights the size of the characters is so good!!

Of course!! <3 that's the beauty of being neurodiverse I think, we tend to reach out to each other!

I imagine with your combination you have a very unique relationship with concentration. It comes with some unique bullshit too, but some of the kindest, coolest folks I know have AuDHD too!

Jen @jeneco.bsky.social · Mar 12

The way I sometimes simplify how I feel about meds is comparing it to my glasses: I don't mind being shortsighted but I still vastly prefer walking around with glasses on! And I even like wearing glasses. These are tools that help me.

I wish you happines and luck with you and your brain!

And yes I deliberately counted focus among its strength - we're capable of extraordinary levels of concentration! We just can't control when it happens. But it is part of ADHD, and I think it's a really cool part!! Hyperfocus can be so fun, I kinda feel people without it are missing out on it haha!

as far as I know I only have ADHD, but for me my diagnosis actually helped me lot in learning to understand and love myself! and similar to your feelings about your Autism, I wouldn't want to cure it either. My meds don't cure it but bring out it's strengths more, like creativity, passion, focus!

saultry little binch Spring Edition 🌸 (+ some soft goth vibes)

A digital drawing of the Pokemon Chikorita, a quadrupedal creature with soft, round features and a big leaf sprouting from its head. It differs slightly from the original design: half of its leaf resembles a cherry blossom petal. It bats its fluffy eyelashes at the viewer. The background is empty and white, except for some pink petals dancing in the air and several more on the ground underneath Chikorita's feet. The higher contrast between dark and light colors + the eyeshadow give the Pokemon a more dramatic look.

some OFF doodles from back then when the remaster was first announced. I'm so fucking excited!!!!

A digital drawing of a man in the uniform of a batter. He is holding a bat in his right hand and has it leaning against his shoulder. His cap is throwing a deep shadow over his face, partially concealing his stern expression.

A digital drawing of a white cat grinning at the viewer. It is very thin and has big, sharp teeth.
