@Auspice said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

(still over here thinking 'yeah that feels like me but it can't be me because of all the people who have told me I'm just whining for attention when I don't take a compliment well')

or you don't want to mention it and provoke your friends to give you MORE compliments and assurances (that will cause you to feel even more like you are fooling them, and should be ashamed)

ok first of all, ouch

second of all, loud no-lyric music HELPS because it drowns out all the other stuff

Ever read an article about executive dysfunction vs 'laziness' and just start crying? Cancer season, get OUT OF HERE

So unlike when I popped off and shot my dad

This is what I read. I need to use the sleep.

divinity is fkin nasty.

but while I didn't read the links yet, yeah. I sometimes think of skintones in terms of foods but mostly when the names of colors are foods. It would stand out to me if I was reading something and ONLY poc were described that way, or only women, etc etc for sure. I can see how it could be gross.

ok the porkbun one is cute, though

Food is good, the problem is there's nothing tasty that is super pale. Milk? Mayonnaise? Vanilla ice cream? Marshmallow fluff? Unseasoned chicken? Tasteless peaches?

I don't know why men playing lesbians should be expected to play trans lesbians instead of cis lesbians.

no one should be expected to play anything. what is even happening now

@Caractus said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

I have a half-baked idea but it involves -- if there's gonna be sheets, and stats for bending expertise, it would also be cool if people could spend XP on the other bending styles (other than their own) as an indicator of how well they've studied those styles to counter. (I thought of this after being reminded of a scene early in S1 on TLA where Aang is chatting with the Fire Nation guards while captured and is all "Huh you guys have probably never fought an Air Bender, huh." A big part of Aang's effectiveness in the series ended up just being that people had totally lost the experience of studying the styles of air bending.)

My custom-baked Avatar system has as its core Attributes the four elements + Spirit, and each one governs something different (Fire is Power; Water is Change; Earth is Temperance; Air is Freedom ...) and when you bend you roll the appropriate Attribute, but having the others is part of everyone; everyone has a little bit of each element; Benders just channel their main one into their Bending Art. What you're suggesting would be represented by having better levels of the others to better understanding the theory behind other Bending techniques.

Mm, I guess. My line of thinking would be more about the skill end of things. Like if you have the elements as attributes, I feel like you'd want to also have skills to represent developing the actual techniques. Like how Katara had plenty of waterbending potential from the start of the show (attribute, in your example), but she had to learn how to use it (skill, in mine). What I'm talking about would specifically be about learning technique.

Yeah, the actual bending styles are pretty obviously based on different stances of kung fu/martial arts. Being able to study those even without the bending would make sense.

idk. I have played sever black people and many non white people and never had anything approaching a shitstorm, or even a heckle. Experiences differ.

edit: several. i didn't sever anyone. I had on fake nails

I have a mazda6 and i love it but I will probably trade it in for a subaru soon. For my dog.

@Jeshin it's a lot more likely random mushers will have seen Korra than read the comics, I think. And it would still not make it easy for people to play TOGETHER and be different benders in the way they are in Republic City

man it would be cool if someone made an ATLA movie!

@Coin yeah i'd think ideally all pcs who want to be benders should be. Also I would love a game like this. Also, no lily white blond people.

@Pacha i think it would be great. I'm sorry, it seems like i'm trying to answer or correct you. Which is lame! it would be nice if there were more.

@Pacha aww. yeah it doesn't seem combative at all! Honestly, I'd like it, too. But it's definitely not a dumbledore situation. There are canon LGBTQ+ in the setting. Queen Alarice the first's real love was Lady Caithness. It's explicit in some clues, for sure, though I can't say /remember where else.
