I Swear Wild Hearts Can’t Be Tamed Was Supposed To Be A Slow Burn, Then Din And Luke Basically Took

Merlin: Okay, everyone. Simple question. What did we learn today?

Douxie: Do not deviate from plans.

Claire: Teamwork is the key to success.

Jim: Operational procedures are important.

Steve, in a wheelchair and covered in bandages: Pianos... are heavy.

Merlin: Oh, close enough.

Just write the thing. for 5 minutes. If there's more than 5 minutes of work, great. If not, you had the 5 minutes

I adore Tooka Luke with all my heart. He lives rent free in my head with Mando Luke.

nothing but luke as a lil catboyyyy

I’m seriously hyped too! Like I’m going to see it with my family on the ninth and I’m cosplaying as Padmé for it! I’m super excited! I’m pretty sure I never saw it in theaters before, but then again I wouldn’t remember because I was born that same year so I would literally have no memory of seeing it in theaters.

I AM SERIOUSLY HYPED FOR "THE PHANTOM MENACE"!!

It will be my first time watching it on the big screen (and in general, even though i got slightly spoiled by some clips and the books ^^; oops) and I am seriously so excited my mind won't shut up about it!! Not that it should, I've just returned to the Star wars fandom after a very long time of being away. Last time I watched anything Star wars related, it was The Clone Wars on TV. I was 12 years old - I'm 21 (turning 22) now. So yeah, I really can't wait! I feel so jumpy!! I miss being very excited since this year started off really bad for me. YAY :D

I have both adhd and autism and I have never found a better metaphor than this as of yet.

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
