I recently learned that October is ADHD Awareness Month
I do suspect I have the combined type but regardless I would like to help spread some awareness by providing some resources (linked at the bottom) + sharing stuff about my Spitzer Space Telescope OC who's ADHD-coded
Spitzer himself has the Combined type, so he has a mix of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. He takes pride in his hyperfixations and the hobbies/activities he loves that keep him stimulated. Drumming keeps him moving, and infodumping about astronomy gives him joy. It's especially exoplanets and the infrared side of astronomy that grabs his attention. Listening to noisy breakcore while cleaning up works like a charm. But he also has to find ways to manage troubling symptoms.
Spitzer is prone to being overwhelmed, and that had become more problematic later in his life when burnouts became more apparent and debilitating due to executive dysfunction. He has trouble getting tasks done by himself as he can overlook details or rush/skip steps and often gets distracted and doesn't even realize it. He also has trouble regulating the stress that comes, among other stressors.
His family was able to help him in those aspects. Kepler and Hubble both spent time to help him follow a daily schedule he liked, gave him reminders, and helped to break tasks up into smaller bits. Kepler was there for Spitzer to make sure his observations were on track, but the two took part in a lot of body-doubling, support swapping, and especially infodumping. Hubble wanted to make activities more engaging for Spitzer, and tries to make sure that, when they both hang out, it's something they both can enjoy.
Stargazer did the most when it came to emotional support. She was very comforting, very open, and taught him techniques to ground himself. Spitzer personally thinks that her hugs are the best hugs. Deep pressure helps when he gets stressed; his family knows how well hugs do, but Stargazer's hugs in particular made him feel safe and secure.
Whether or not you have ADHD, there's plenty of ways to support and help someone you know who suspects or has it, and if done, it can go a long way! ADHD has its positive sides but it can also be an actual struggle to live.

(These websites come with plenty of resources, activities, and additional information)
My personal advice and this is something that I think goes a long way: if you're stressed out, take some time to try meditating. It's a good way to ground yourself and has personally helped me with my racing thoughts, and sessions don't have to be long. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and take steps to get yourself on a diet that can help with your symptoms. ADHD also involves a chemical imbalance in the brain, which can be affected by what you eat. If you do your body good, you can also do your brain good.
And plus, drinking some nice cold water feels refreshing!
just two jovian spacecraft. nothing out of the ordinary here
HELP IT'S THE 14TH ALREADY AND I CANT FIND MY EUROPA CLIPPER MISSION PIN 😍😍😍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MISSIONS OF MY LIFE AKA PSYCHE !!!
Animated Spitzer some time ago to a line from his voiceclaim (Hot dog guy from TAWOG). I did use a high-pass filter and echo with a verry small delay time to get that little roboticy effect that my spacecrafts' voices would have
if i had a finished mars odyssey rig, i would have animated more of that scene lol
submissions for the mfw's 5th anniversary i did some time ago ^-^
(i love u transmasc / nonbinary kepler ur my gender affirming idol)

tribute to Rosetta's mission end, which took place on September 30th, 2016, 8 years ago.
never let this mission fade in obscurity.

Webbposting
special appearance of LUVOIR ^^
"Six and a half" refers to JWST's primary mirror diameter. LUVOIR's would be more than double that of JWST should it launch sometime around/after the 2040s. By then Webb would be an Old Man

Funny blender stuff
April 21st, 2024 - started writing at 2:20 AM
wowie been so long since i last did a log or something in blender lol
i guess I had taken a break from any major blender projects. I had other hobbies i wanted to focus on so I kind of set that aside for the time.
Lately I've been back to working on some projects. I'm still working on Dawn and Psyche but I have Kepler in the works now!
this is my older model and aaaah the nostalgia ^^
My newer version of Kepler looks verrry different, like for example they just hit a growth spurt and have some sweet high-tech gadgets LOL
They also don't have that side eyelash anymore. Long story short back in 2021 kepler used to be genderfluid but isnt anymore. the eyelash was my way of indicating it but i never used it so. it doesnt do much
also they've got their sweet sweet FOV as a pupil now how cool is that
