Jaden|20|Canadian|Hello lovely human and welcome to my blog. Here you'll find relatable text posts, transformers, and other things that tickle my fancy. If something I reblog or post triggers or annoys you, just let me know and I'll tag it.

Every time I come on here, half of it feels like a barren wasteland and the other half feels like a small group of people that stayed to continue talking about fandoms.
I kinda feel like writing an update on my life for those that give a shit. This year had ups-and-downs, mostly up’s. The start of 2019 I honestly don’t remember. I think I was still depressed?? But I’d say this year was better mental health wise compared to 2018. I was jobless and kinda depressed for a while, got a job at a Starbucks (they fired me after 2 weeks, still don’t know why), was jobless again, got a job at a new grocery store and I still work there. I was also diagnosed with mild Autism this year, and some stuff about myself seems to make sense now. One of my best friends recently came out as a transgender woman, and I couldn’t be more proud of her. I also lost my uncle to lung cancer this year. He was diagnosed with it at stage 3 in September, only to pass away on November 26th because his body couldn’t take the radiation therapy. It took a pretty big toll on me because I talked to him via facetime a month before his passing, so his death felt like it happened so fast. And then a day later, my friend Ben lost his dad to lung cancer as well. My mom’s brother’s wife was also diagnosed with Uterine cancer in late November. Basically, November was really shitty and cancer can sincerely go fuck itself.
But some great things happened too. I’m back on my ADD meds so I can focus on my job. My mental health has VASTLY improved, and I rarely go into depressive episodes anymore! And because I work full-time now, my transformers collection expanded. I also got into Bionicle and now my shelves are full of them. I also got to witness the ending to my favorite comic book series of all time. Issue 24 of Lost Light had me SOBBING for a straight 2 hours, as well as fearful for the ending because this comic book not only made me fall in deeper love with transformers, It also saved my life. I made a new best friend through our undying love for MTMTE, @Weasleygeek on twitter. I discovered a lot of new music, movies, tv shows, and books this year that left such a huge impact on me. I also got a better taste in fashion thanks to the fact that I make more money now compared to last year.
Normally when the new year comes around, I don’t care because a new year doesn’t mean anything great to me, but I celebrate it as an excuse to get drunk. But this is the first time in a very long time that I’m kinda excited to see what the new year will bring us.
Happy Holidays, here’s to a (hopefully) great 2020.
I desperately wish i could have been diagnosed sooner. It would have completely changed my university experience. But i was so overwhelmed with all the mental health issues of a shitty childhood that it took me forever to sort through the rubble
If you are an adult who identifies with the concept of Gifted Kid Syndrome and:
You have an unusually intense reaction to the concept of rejection, whether personal, professional, or academic
You have consistent trouble meeting deadlines
You have big dreams and ambitions that are completely achievable, but you consistently can’t take steps toward achieving them and you don’t know why
You procrastinate, like a lot
You like video games, like a lot
You switch seemingly at random between binge watching your favorite shows for absurd lengths of time or not being able to sit down and focus on them unless you’re doing something else at the same time
You cannot for the life of you keep your living area clean and organized
You struggle with substance dependencies, whether with alcohol, tobacco, weed, harder drugs, or even just caffeine
You struggle with texting/calling/emailing back, even for people you care about deeply and/or even for important deadlines
Please, please, please consider seeking out an ADHD evaluation.
I’m not a psychiatrist or any kind of a medical professional, but personally I can’t help but notice how many elements of what I was perceiving as personal failures before my diagnosis stem directly from my executive dysfunction. Meds and an adequate support system can make a world of difference!
Just some advice from your friendly neighborhood nonbinary-mom-friend blogger!

if a fictional character gets stabbed, they have only 2 valid options:
1. slowly raise their hand to the wound and/or pull the weapon impaling them out while everyone stares in horror before collapsing to the ground from shock and/or blood loss and being caught just in time by their friend/sibling/love interest
2. hide the wound beneath a dark item of clothing in preparation for the dramatic reveal later where another character touches them and their hand comes away bloody or they overexert themselves and they stumble and wince but still try to insist they’re fine, even though they’re clearly in pain and struggling to stay on their feet, and as the other character peels back their jacket it becomes clear that they’re badly hurt and have been for a while (bonus points if they’re wearing a white shirt underneath)
