*knocks on your door* hello have you heard of our lord and savior crochet yet
Skglgbdjedj 😭💜
🥺🥺 so sad it’ll still take so long to come out but that makes me happy to hear
I can’t lie it has been a bit rough on me (posting a comic about it soon lol) but I’m glad I’m back to posting :) It was just a very big project for someone who has close to no structure in their own Brain
Omg that’s so nice of you, thank you so much 🥺
Sneak peek from the graphic novel I’ve been working on since some people have been wondering why I stopped posting. It’s a page I drew to pitch the idea that emotional scenes will have a more rough and raw style. It’s still quite a bit away but I already wanted to share the reason I’ve been missing!
Omg 🥺 thank u!!
Achso hmm, habe gerade eine Studie gesehen die sagt, dass Bewegung für neurotypische Menschen idr eher ablenkend ist. Aber nur deswegen würd ich noch nicht ADHS festmachen :)
Bin grad am Handy und kann das nicht ordentlich raussuchen aber ja gibt es Studien zu :) solche kleinen Bewegungen wie auch mit dem Bein wackeln stimulieren
Noooo I hate having to write protocol 😭
Time works in mysterious ways
Furiously sketching circles while listening to my profs talk
People often think I’m distracted when I’m actually really focused, just in my own way
I just need to keep inviting people over until everything is clean!
Despite knowing all the coping strategies, this has happened to me today (and will continue to happen)
Ahhhh helloooo!!!! I just started posting again recently and only now noticed no one is on that other site anymore 😂 nice to have you back!
I really hope you find an answer or even better - a solution :)
Omg I’m so sorry, I have actually started redrawing the entire thing just for you lol and thought I’ll just upload the new version but it will take a while. Do you still want me to upload the old version?
I hate structure but I also can't live without structure, how do you solve this??
Ah tschuldigung, Keks nicht Umarmung!
Fühl dich umarmt. Ich mach das oft einfach nicht und Krieg dann mein Konto gesperrt und so lustige Sachen ❤️ will doch nur zeichnen
Small reminder (to myself) that no matter how hard we try not every day will be the same - and that’s not a personal failure.
Thank you! I’ll have a look :)
Ist echt brutal gerade, war heute Morgen um 5 draußen und das war’s für heute mit dem rausgehen 😂
Thank you, just if you happen to come across anything :) if you need any info / resources on ADHD topics let me know!
or research on this. Do you happen to know where I could go looking?
The graphic novel will be called „Feeling like an ADHD Alien“ (Penguin RDH)and no, no graphics like these in the book, these are just to inform people online :) I actually wanted to add a point specific to HRT and how symptoms could be affected by transitioning, but couldn’t find enough sources -
Hey thank you! Pina Varnel - ADHD Alien Comics
Aww danke dir, wie lieb 🥺
I keep having that same revelation over and over again 😂 thank you!
So cute and lively 🥺
I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).
I live in constant fear of getting bored with something I love.
I still can’t believe I’ve managed to keep working on the same thing for such a long time (ignoring all the comics I never fully finished). Work on the book really did a number on me though (the last two are before / after).
focused on my art as you are so might not work 😂. My backgrounds are like “fine, I guess I have to”
Like sometimes I sketch complete BA perspective but I like how it looks so I just leave out connecting lines from room corner to room corner so it’s less obvious LMAO. I also change room layouts from walls being parallel to being / \ if it looks better. But I’m far from being as background -
I’m not the best at backgrounds & perspective but I just thumbnail it the way I want it and then break perspective in front / back elements. Draw the door frame the way I want even if it’s unrealistic but keep the back intact. My style also allowed me to leave out lines that would make it obvious
I will do it!!!!! I was inactive for a while and I’m so mad I almost missed this because I wasn’t on social media. Can’t miss beautiful GN because I’m not on socmed grrrr
You should preorder my book, and here are all the links www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/604737...
Thank you! Was worried it wouldn’t. Come across right
Päivi 🥺 minäkin rakastan sinua
🥺🥺 thank you so much. I’m happy to hear my older comics gave you some comfort, thst makes me motivated to keep going
I wasn't sure what comic "would be good to come back with", so I just wrote about what I'm actually dealing with right now. I’m so happy to be back and hope someone still gets some value from my comics! If you feel like supporting me, check out patreon or Stella emotion 👀
Shame is one of the hardest things about ADHD for me. I'm back and the book is finished but instead of feeling proud, I feel ashamed for not having managed to stay active, manage my household better or even shower regularly.
Couldn’t watch for long because I have to go sleep but damn all your work feels so alive and is mega cute! Gotta binge all those tutorials 👀
Wish I would’ve known this sooner lol. You can really see my skill grow throughout the chapters, but especially after chapter 1
Restocks! The shop is jam packed full of comics and all we need now are customers! So tell friends and strangers about littledeercomics.ie
Funny how it’s the little things 😭. What helped me was I started drinking from empty asparagus glasses or pickled cucumber glasses because they’re a bit bigger than normal glasses. Just looks weird when someone sees it on my desk 😂
This! And night of the hunter
Oh god I can relate, same thing but with Riverdale
Didn’t know either but yup! Probably like 3 in the entirety of Germany tho
Wait, this is literally the kind of store I want to see when visiting new places. Always wanted to go to Ireland too! Writing this down on my to-do list
I got this exact one gifted years ago and I still love it and every visitor loves it!
Reading through my old Field Guide from when I quit my job 5 years ago to make ADHD content full-time. My life looks so different now… but some things never change 💕
Päiviiiii 🥺💜
Omg me too 😭 a straw will triple my water consumption
😂 did that just today. Also love googling hands until I remember … I have hands (and a mirror on my desk)
Wait, is Germany known for its meat or something? I mean I know the sausages are supposed to be good but…
Ommg what?? I pay like 12€ max I think (haven’t been in a while). Fiveguys is the only burger I can eat because it doesn’t feel as „old stinky grease“ as every other burger. Sorry you got traumatized by them 😂
Agree. Except for fiveguys, only burger I can eat
Book will be out sometime next year, not sure when I’ll be allowed to show images from the book tho 👀 but this comic I’m working on is pretty similar to book content
Love love love the colors omg
Thank you so much 🥺🥺
That’s super cute
🥺🥺🥺 I don’t deserve y’all. Thank you, I’m a bit nervous about returning but your message helps a ton with the nerves. Glad your day is the tiniest bit better!
Rukaちゃん！！！お久しぶり🥺❤️
あ、すみません！「たのしみにしています」:)
🥺 awww that’s actually kinda sweet
楽しみにしています🌟🌟🌟
Casually sliding back in here as if I was never gone
Im not sure which way of looking at it would motivate me more 😂 but it helps to have that tiny background of having heard / spoken a tiny bit of Japanese before! I need to get back to it as well, let’s keep each other motivated if you want ✌️
🥺🥺🥺 taking a screenshot to remind me of this How long have you been studying? Me 4 years but I didn’t have time the last year so I forgot a lot. I also only started with kanji like 3 years in 😬
😭 you have no idea how much that means to me. It’s weird / scary to have been away for so long. At one point I tried to play Pokémon in Japanese and the katakana Pokémon and move names were an uphill battle 😂
🥺🥺🥺 thank you, I didn’t expect such a warm welcome back 💜 (also can relate to katakana being the devil)
Guess who finally gets to make comics (to post) again 😭
Ooh that’s a great idea I will do that!
I thought no way this would affect me and just saw I had multiple violation notifications for *checks notifications* jewelry (without Human Models) and tea tins. Thanks for the heads up
🥺 thank you so much, that’s so motivating to hear
And how long will that slow burn romance take until one of them is brave enough to share their feelings?
Thank you, that’s what I’ve been wondering. All I’m seeing is ominous talk about gorillas and tactics should you come across a gorilla or something.. what did the gorilla do
Aw danke dir! Bin bald mit meinem Buch über ADHS fertig und bin dann wieder aktiv 🥹
❤️❤️❤️ I’ll start being more active here, thanks for welcoming me!
Review! Glass Half Empty – @rachaelsmith.bsky.social Rachael Smith Explores Alcohol Dependency in Yet Another Piece of Outstanding Autobio Comics Work. www.brokenfrontier.com/glass-half-e...
I would appreciate it SO much if you could help in any way possible, even just a like or share ❤️ Little warning, there is one image in the middle of the page with a more explicit image of a wound!
You know I don't like to advertise things to you, but in this case, I just can't not help, seeing how this is about animals who didn't choose what conditions they were born into. More detailed story is in the link ❤️ No money will go to me, 100% will go to the shelter and be used for the animals.
Aga started out working in a public shelter and conditions there were HORRIBLE. She took over it but they kept cutting funds, so at one point she decided to indebt herself to build her own shelter. Now, she needs help keeping that shelter open gofund.me/10086e61
Hey everyone! I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I come with something that is really important to me, so I hope you can forgive me 💦 I adopted a dog from poland last year and got to know the woman who built her own shelter to save animals. She is amazing (⬇️pictures)

Hello fren!!!! I have two invite codes, need any for your friends?
Honestly think it’s just twitter dying! (But maybe they aren’t into anime and wonder why they’re seeing it on their page)
The more Suletta x Miorine fanart I like on twitter, the more followers I lose. And I will continue!!!
