this may not work for everyone, but the best advice i’ve ever heard was something like “if you’re struggling with something, make it easier.” that sounds like bullshit, but it actually helps me a lot.

i struggled to brush my teeth for years. i still do! but i made it easier for myself by paying attention to my needs. what kept me from brushing? part of it was the sensory experience, so i switched to an electric one and it works much better for me. part of it was having to stand in the bathroom for two minutes, so i moved my brush and toothpaste into my bedroom, where i lay or sit in bed and look at my phone while i use them. this didn’t solve the entire problem for me, but it made things so much easier.

i can’t stand having a shirt collar, so i wear mostly tank tops, but for the shirts i really like, i usually just cut the neck part out. yeah it’s not super pretty, so i keep some of my shirts uncut if i really like them for their look, but it helps for my every day clothes. (my mom taught me this one.)

showering and doing dishes are two things that make me want to die from boredom(? i don’t really have a term for that crushing boredom/dread of executive dysfunction and trauma responses). now i have a speaker for my shower and headphones for chores, and i just listen to music or podcasts. it makes things easier, even if it isn’t enough every time.

just. look at what you’re struggling with and think about what specific part is bothering you most. if there’s an easy fix, take it. even if it only makes things slightly more manageable, you deserve that. you deserve an easier way to do things that you struggle with. even if the solution seems silly or weird, is it hurting anyone? is it making anything worse? is it better to brush your teeth in bed or not at all?

hearing abt a place called love town in LoR fan places and thinking "oh that must be an area where the fucked up sex happens" and then finding out That Is Not The Case

Oh almighty art master, teach me how to draw arms please? Mine always turn out so weird and misshapen.

I'm tempted to just say that all of my art takes place in a universe where humans don't have arms and we have to use our feet for everything, but that would mean so many cursed images of toes holding pencils and I don't think I can bring myself to impart that upon this broken world.

ART MASTER y'all really be out here boosting my ego 😂❤️ this is one of two art advice asks I gotta catch up on!

I can't name any muscles or bones, but I can try to show you the rhythm I use to hack it:

For larger arms, remember that joints (shoulders, elbows, wrists) don't store fat:

For muscle-y arms, uh, idk I kinda just wing it so any how-to’s I give you would be actively harming your studies lolol

Hopefully that gives you a bit of a foundation to build off of!
