Tooka Interviews

I'm sure you've all seen puppy interviews, where celebrities hawk their latest project while petting adorable puppies. Notable ones include Chris Evens, Tom Holland and Keanu Reeves

So, in an AU where Fives succeeds, Palpatine dies and everyone is happy, the clones are petitioning for their rights, right? And how best to motivate political change?

Positive public images.

Remember, under Palpatine's influence, the main sentiment among Core world residents was that clones were basically droids. So to change that, Riyo Chuchi - as the senator spearheading the push for clone rights - organizes for a tooka interview, a gimmick to get people's attention.

First up is Fives, the clone who saved the Republic. He is genuinely good on camera, a bit of an inspirational speaker but still relatable, and he's overjoyed by the tookas without letting them derail the interview.

Riyo is so pumped at how well it went, she negotiates for even more interviews.

And it makes the most sense to start with Fives' commanding officer, Captain Rex. But Rex outright refuses at first but is convinced when he's told he can be paired with another high-rank officer. Obi Wan is about to suggest Cody, but just a single look is enough for the Jedi to reconsider.

Ultimately, Fox is not happy about being voluntold to join Rex by his still mostly secret girlfriend, but her reasoning is sound and he really can't say no to Riyo anyway. Little does he know though that she may have let the whole thing slip to Thorn, who not only records it, but plays it on the holoprojector for the entire guard.

Hardcase is also alive in this AU, and he writes a very polite email to Senator Chuchi explaining why he would be a great interviewee (he really just wants to be smothered by a giant pile of tookas.

ADHD starter kit

Hi I have ADHD and have just recently got into a relationship with someone who has been very understanding about it. She asked me about the things she would "need to know or I'd like her to know" about it. For example, I'm not forgetting where I put my keys everytime they leave my hand on purpose. It's just the ADHD. Do you think you could make me like a ADHD relationship everything you need to be aware of list? Sort of like a starter pack. I'm no good at this kind of thing.

Sure! Full disclosure: I’ve never been in a relationship. Also, this is not a complete list! 

Time blindness 

This is a real symptom of ADHD that affects our ability to accurately sense the passage of time (“It’s only been 10 minutes—how can it be 3 am?!”) Time blindness can also cause issues estimating how long something will take (“It should only take me 5 minutes to get ready!”) and judging the urgency of things that our brains perceive as far away (“I know I should study for the test, but it’s not until next week—I have plenty of time!”).

Emotional dysregulation 

Our frontal lobes do not reign in strong emotions like they should, so we tend to have strong, impulsive reactions, especially when we are upset. RSD, or rejection sensitive dysphoria, is part of this: if we perceive even mild criticism or rejection—or even fail to meet our own expectations—it can feel like the end of the world.

Under-stimulation 

Because we don’t produce enough neurotransmitters, our brains are chronically starved for stimulation. Under-stimulation is boredom, but an extreme level—and for people with ADHD, it can actually cause secondary depression.

Short term memory 

This is why people with ADHD forget what they were about to say, forget what YOU just said, or forget to pick up groceries, pay bills, or turn in their homework. This is not carelessness. It is a working memory deficit caused by neurological differences.

Attention dysregulation (not deficit)

This is one of the main problems in ADHD. We struggle to control the subject and intensity of our focus. This means that we can exhaust ourselves trying to focus for one hour in class—but may spend all day hyperfocusing on our newest project, even forgetting to eat or drink. Others may think that this means the ADHDer can focus “when they want to,” but hyperfocus is usually not voluntary and can be as hard to control as inattention.

Executive dysfunction

Executive functions are cognitive skills housed in the frontal lobe (the brain region most affected by ADHD). These include things like emotional regulation and working memory; also organization, planning and prioritizing, and task initiation.Trouble with task initiation is often perceived as laziness or procrastination. In reality, executive dysfunction can cause an ADHDer to get “stuck” before starting, even if they really want to do the task. Difficulty with task initiation is why I get “stuck” in my car after parking—and sometimes cannot seem to leave it on my own, even when the interior of the car is over 140 degrees. 

I firmly believe everyone with ADHD should do their best to own it and learn to manage it. Most ADHDers learn various coping strategies to help them deal. But it’s also important that the people in our lives have realistic expectations and know that even when we try our best, we will still have symptoms. It is not a sign that we don’t care about them or aren’t trying.

We’ll go on an adventure and relive history

So please, please, please won’t you join me

Until the very end

A skin-contact quirk plus One for All should produce interesting results, no?
