Trying to prove a point
Imagine my reaction when someone commissioned me to draw Thel Vadam' ✨ It was like a dream come true xd he's one of my fav characters from the HALO franchise. He's so damn cool and OP <3 <3
“When I came from a place of crippling self doubt, I moved forward from that doubt to a place where I can be proud of the things that I have done. And if I leave ANYTHING behind in this world, it is the idea that that can come from anywhere.”
It’s 5am and im drawing my life 👌

Mmmmmm so true
-Let the play begin-
[OPENING SCENE]
Parent: You knew I didn’t want you to do that! Why did you do it anyway?
Me, put on the spot: uh - well, um …
Parent: what were you *thinking*?
Me, trying to sort out the thoughts of Past!Me: hmm …
—FLASHBACK—
Past Me, presented with solutions a, b, and c to handle a minor dilemma, and under a time crunch because of procrastination: i dont’ like any of these options.
My Good Instincts, zooming up & dodging past my executive dysfunction: Option B is the best one.
Me, easily persuaded: thanks, Good Instincts! I agree.
ADHD Galaxy Brain, arriving dramatically, 15 minutes late with Starbucks: but is it really the best option?
Me, instantly distracted: is it?
ADHD Galaxy Brain, an asshole: What about option D?
Good Instincts: *quickly* option d wasn’t up for consideration in the f–
ADHD Galaxy Brain: *bats Good Instincts into the sun*
ADHD Galaxy Brain: *to Me* well?
Me: I hadn’t considered option D! but I can’t remember why I didn’t consider it.
ADHD Galaxy Brain: Neither can I!
ADHD Galaxy Brain: but here, have 32 reasons why option D is definitely the best one. It took 2.8 seconds for me to come up with them, so you better appreciate it.
Me, mistaking this for critical reasoning: wow, those are all really good reasons! This is why people say you should carefully consider your options before acting.
Good Instincts: *yelling from the sun’s surface, but too far away to be understood*
Me, a fool: welp, you’ve convinced me. Option D is definitely the best one. But I feel like my instincts are trying to tell me something?
ADHD Galaxy Brain: could be. but do we really have time to check? besides, if we undo all this critical reasoning, we’ll have to start all over again, and I hate doing things twice.
Me, a person who struggles to do things even once: yeah, that sounds boring.
Me, satisfied: Option D it is! sorry, Instincts, but the feeling of foreboding your indistinct yelling gives me requires too much time&effort to understand!
—
Good Instincts, watching from the surface of the Sun as I execute option D: i SAID, your PARENTS will be ANGRY if you go with Option D!!
Good Instincts: THAT’S WHY IT WASN’T ON THE TABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
–END FLASHBACK–
Present Me, struggling to put words to this: …
Parent, out of patience: well????
Me: I—
Me:
Me: …
Me: i don’t know.
—FADE TO BLACK—
NARRATOR VOICEOVER, grave: the truth is, they *did* know. They remembered it all with remarkable clarity, considering how quickly their decision was made.
NARRATOR VOICEOVER: but they also knew from previous experience … that they would never have the words to explain it.
-The End-
April, discovering an entire Hidden City beneath NYC and going up against a fish-man making, warring warrior scientist:
