My brain hurts :(

Probably because I feel asleep in allergen-contaminated clothes, sigh.

I forgot how much I loved On the Way to Meet Mom by gomyang236, a comic in a fantasy world about a human child named Mori who desires to have a mother after his friend is taken from the orphanage by her own, having only lived in the wild and an orphanage before. Believing his anonymous sponsor to be a candidate, he runs away to find them. The art is gorgeous, and while Mori isn't a realistic-looking kid necessarily, I don't think he looks uncanny or weird — it feels like the artist actually has practice making drawing children who actually look like children, which isn't that common in my experience. Anyway, I bring it up because I read the first epilogue the other day and gosh, I love all the characters so much I want to squeeze them like stressballs.

Speaking of comics and art, I love reading the wild shit (lol) that hakeism draws for and writes. I'd immediately thought "this is 100% an artist GuiGui would enjoy" and I was right XD

I got reminded about my ADHD diagnosis experience because one of my friends is finally actually considering getting it checked out. I still think the funniest question in the questionnaires my psychologist sent was just point blank "are you in a gang" LMAO

omg i completely forgot about webtoons, i remember getting into it back in 2017 and having my middle school art nerd mind blown suddenly given access to millions of comics at the tip of my fingers, it was honesty magical and lowkey formative. maybe i should get back into webtoons, or webcomics in general (i have my gripes with the webtoons platform specifically……)

but that looks and sounds like a super interesting comic, maybe ill give it a read :0

ALSO HELP, IS THAT A REAL QUESTION THEY ASK YOU??? I NEED TO KNOW THE RELEVANCY LOL, DOES BEING IN A GANG BAR YOU FROM BEING NEURODIVERGENT??

I switch between using Webtoon, Tapas, and... ahem, Sailing The High Seas, lol

IT'S A REAL QUESTION, AT LEAST FOR ME AHA
It's because of the association with violence, impulsivity, and feeling isolated from 'normal' friend groups — some ADHDers will join gangs for protection from bullying/ableism! Being in a gang makes you more neurodivergent!!! Well, I'm not sure how strong the link really is but I enjoy the thought greatly lmao
