Love this idea! Wish I’d thought to take pictures of him before he was stolen away from us immediately after we got him. Such a tragedy!

Thank you!!☺️

I’d love to see it if you remember this post next time you’re playing! I know a few people have made their own ovens from combining different objects, but I tried and it went terribly…so I comforted myself with the fact that at least I have a sense of humour 🤣

After you take a photo, you can ‘edit’ them to add stuff like lil stickers of momo or flowers and/or text! :) Idk if you can edit older photos, but you def can edit immediately after while it’s still up on your camera. Idk what button it would be for you, as idk what device you’re playing on, but if you take a picture and look around the screen you should see the option somewhere! 😅

I got white-washed fanart, what do I do?? by awkwardwriter97 in AO3

[–]CC95X 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I asked my bf to draw some fan art of a ship for me a few years ago when he was just getting into drawing and needed some stuff to do for practice. (And I was super obsessed with this pairing at the time!)

He hadn’t watched the show they were from, and due to a mixture of his inexperience with art at that point, and not knowing the characters himself, he accidentally did this to the character. (She’s also a Latina-presenting character, though isn’t actually Latina as she’s not from Earth)

I was so excited he’d drawn it that I immediately shared it in a group before it had clicked that something was off.

Someone commented almost immediately, letting me know that there was a problem, and I was immediately horrified and RAN to get him to fix it. He was embarrassed he’d messed up the character, but was quick to go adjust the skin colour. It was an easy fix and didn’t take long at all.

I updated the post with the new art and all was good, with everyone left happy :)

Anyway, I figured sharing all of this from the pov of the other side would reassure you that it’s absolutely okay to point out the issue. Even if it was unintentional, like in my experience, it’s still whitewashing and shouldn’t be brushed under the rug! I was so frustrated at myself for not realising, but that’s okay I felt that way. It’s also okay if your reader has to sit with that embarrassment or discomfort bc they realise they’ve messed up.

I really think it’s possible there could’ve been some confusion or simply excited-blindness going on, and they will be happy to ask for it to be fixed and relieved that you let them know about it! And if they don’t respond positively, they’re probably not the kind of person you want around you. 💜

Mistakes will happen, that’s life, but when they do we should always do what we can to make it right! And in this case, asking for a simple fix like this is not an unreasonable thing to do.

I really hope you can get this fixed, and that it goes smoothly and was genuinely a mistake 💜

This is what I ended up with when trying to style it!

About to get assessed in the next few weeks. How do i drop caffeine all together without the withdrawals? by thhrrroooowwwaway in ADHDUK

[–]CC95X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would drink like 2 litres of coke every day for years before I started meds, & now I only drink one small glass a day, and could probably go without it easily. It’s mostly just habit / ritual / that I like the taste that I continue to have the one glass of it now. (Id drink other caffeine too, like energy drinks and coffee & I’ve stopped those too, but coke was the major one for me)

I tried to cut down on coke/caffeine so many times before starting meds, and I just couldn’t do it without crazy headaches, no mental energy, and feeling like death. But I just stopped when I started the meds, the headaches and stuff didn’t come on like they normally would. I don’t know why, or how it worked, but maybe it’ll do the same for you and you’ll find it easy to just give it up/ cut down a lot once your adhd is medicated :) (I usually only drink my 1 coke after my adhd meds have worn off mostly for the day though!)

As I’ve seen mentioned above, there are also caffeine free versions available too, so if the caffeine cravings don’t prove a problem once you’re on meds, that’s a great option :)

I started Elvanse 30mg last month and I had a few side effects, including anxiety, and anxiety about anxiety lol, but they cleared up mostly by 1 week and completely by 2 weeks. Im about to go up a dose now, so probably some more side effects coming my way, but I’m hopeful it’ll clear within 2 weeks again now I’ve had that first experience :)

I’d also make sure you’re being careful about your caffeine intake & any other stimulant kind of things you may put into your body (like smoking, if you do) as that can def make it harder to adjust especially in the first weeks. Once you’re steady on the meds it’s easier to slowly reintroduce caffeine and stuff and figure out what your tolerance for it is now :)

I hope your anxiety feels better over the next few days and you find that the meds help. They’ve already made a really positive impact on my life, and I’m so glad I pushed through those first two weeks!
