Neurodiverse Friends - Manic or Hyperactive?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Welcome back to "Neurodiverse Friends" with Pixi & co. - Cats on the Spectrum! With Pixi, Aspy, Bipo, and Mania playing video games, let's explore the key differences between ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, two often confused but distinct conditions. ADHD is a processing disorder characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention difficulties, whereas Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder marked by intense mood swings, including manic and depressive episodes. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh yeah, ADHD being entirely focused on the game and then stops to just walk around, I do that all the time!
Me too, except I’m often doing it IN the game as well!
Nah because sometimes I do this or it can get worse. I could hyper fixate and not even god himself could get me off my computer 😭
me too
Yes, ME TOO!!
@@elementaldiaries1516
I feel that, I get hyperfixated a lot. Is it normal to get hyperfixated in my own head? Like thoughts that I can't stop thinking about, maybe an issue that just keeps haunting me and hanging around in my brain for days (weeks) at a time?
I love how autism is more than happy to keep doing the same thing for a long time. I vibe with that so much.
As an actual autistic person, i relate.
@@Jucian Same here.
As an autistic person that sums up how I roll. If I am doing something I like, I’m fine to just go on and on.
Me, autistic, binging an entire multi-season series over a few days. Sometimes it's nice to hunker down and just do one thing, envelop yourself in it ^^
@@MadAliceInWonderland That’s me with Transformers Prime. I’ve rewatched the entire series 14 times already.
Autism is just casually gaming and literally everyone else is freaking out over something
That’s because we Aspies keep it real 😎 (most of the time)
As someone with autism myself, i can relate to this.
Same, I have Asperger Syndrome and ADHD, but usually not too hyper. When I was in the video game club at my college campus, most of the people were wild, loud, and pretty much said some weird stuff, while me and a friend would be in the background just playing our game.
I used to hyper focus on video games and my parents would be like "the only thing moving are your hands..."
My brain was like, must save all energy for WINNING.
... also finding coins.
@@Tormekia coinssssss
Hehehe
I just hate it when the TV explodes after playing too hard.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @logankennedy4525! I'm glad to hear that. I used the exploding screen to illustrate that people with bipolar disorder don’t just shift randomly between mania and depression; there are often reasons for these mood changes. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you, brian griffin
@@PixiGags nice!
"I just hate it when the TV explodes after playing for too long."
- "Thanks for sharing your thoughts, logankennedy! I'm glad to hear that."
The talk of all times
I was wondering about the tv explosion. I like the reason behind that. It makes it make more sence
Bubbles can fix a surprising amount of issues
Absolutely, @Bubblegumredpanda! Bubbles are truly enchanting.
@@PixiGags i love the stickers!!!
Yet another panda... Yet another awesome day.
Dang it, now I want bubbles...
@@sirpanda976blah9 I want bubbles too :(
Damn, I should buy a bubble wand or something
SpongeBob was right all along
I love how Bipo and Mania represent Bipolar, instead of it being random the shifts have a reason or a cause
Also Pixi has to be one of the best represention of someone with ADHD, they are just so relateable
Hi @ponkypink3147! I’m glad you appreciate how Bipo and Mania represent bipolar disorder-I wanted to show that the shifts have a reason or cause. It’s wonderful to hear that you find Pixi to be a relatable representation of someone with ADHD. Thanks for your kind words! ❤🌼
representation of adhd is very accurate lol
The eye strain of emotion really gets me. I can absolutely see the thoughts starting to race.
Hi @mileetah! I’m glad you appreciate the variety of emotions portrayed in this episode. Thanks for your insightful comment! 💖😺
i felt so seen with the eye strain detail. it happens to me a lot with mania and it’s such a small thing so it’s great to see it in art like this
Love how Aspy has Pixi on their hat and Pixi has Aspy on their shirt.
Thanks for noticing, @Reynard616! I'm glad you love the details, like how they have images of each other on their shirt and hat! 😺✌
isn't that so cute 🥹
We need merch of this, would be sick ngl @@PixiGags
wait hercname is Pixi? They have actual names?
@@raydgreenwald7788 yes
i love how pixi and aspy are always portrayed hanging out together ^_^ that's so adorable!
I mean, they go well together. As someone with autism and Aspergers, I can confirm I feel a mix of the two.
@@Molten_Anarchistthey’re the same thing
@@Molten_Anarchist those 2 cats represent adhd & asd
I can relate to this, I’m ADHD and most of my best friends have autism, including my boyfriend lol
Autism and ADHD do tend to go hand in hand (speaking as someone who has both)
Glad you took note of all our comments on the og designs
Are you another one of them everywhere people
@@Kyuorsomethingidk kinda???
I was looking for this coment
What were the original designs?
@@turntechgodbeheaded Basically the same only they were emo with coloured hair, it’s still in a community post I think
I'm autistic and I'm currently writing a book with many neurodiverse characters and this channel really helps me with research
Whats the books name?
me toooo! 😄
Ooh that's lovely but please use content from creators with those other neurodivergencies instead as a reference! Pixi generally gets the neurodivergencies down well but when writing it's important to refer to the primary source rather than a secondary source. It's the most respectful thing to do to our fellow neurodivergent people ^^
As far as I know Pixi has autism and adhd but not the other neurodivergencies.
Good luck with your book!!
/nm /gen
Love, a fellow autistic person ^^
@@Catsgirl32 yes, of course I use other sources as well. It's just that I'm looking for something more humanizing - not dry data and facts, but also how it looks for a person. And thanks ❤️
@@tb_neitor I plan to call it "The Tower on the Moon", but I may change it at some point. We'll have to find out
Love the redesigns!
I am glad you like their new look, @amycatass! Thanks for sharing.
@@PixiGagsa big improvement from the first ones, I love them
@PixiGags I still hope you’ll show Pixi and Aspy without clothes in the future. Unless this is kind of a one-off look for them?
@@PixiGagsI still hope we’ll get to see Pixi and Aspy without their clothes in the future. Unless this is sort of a one-off look for them?
There was a redesign?
I love that you took the feedback and made the characters less stereotypical
I appreciate that, @Werewolf64lol! I am glad that you find this version of the characters more original! 😊
I can't see a difference except they're wearing a shirt and a hat now, what's different
@@alwayrember193 they're talking about the new characters, they use to have different designs
I love the redesigns! It makes them look more like just angsty tweens going through a phase or style instead of looking closer to a stereotype💛 i also love how you show the symptoms, not demonizing anyone with disorders while having episodes or symptoms. Its really cool to see the subtle aspecs of it too, like how aspy stays focused on the game throughout the video and how the twins's depressive state is caused by the TV breaking, instead of being completely random.
OHHHH YES the “going thru a phase” actually fits so well as a visual descriptor bc it’s like going thru the phases of mania & depression
hey look guys its fresh sans
@@boxofmanythings WHERE???!
@@boxofmanythings WHERE???
@@juggalozz its too late fresh already got you
Aww, I love the redesigns of these two kitties!! They fit into the series much better :3
(Also I just LOVE how neurodivergence is getting representation through silly little kitties!! And this is very relatable, bubbles make everything better)
Same, the colors of the kitties is really good. ( Plus they are adorable but that's obvious, everyone here is adorable )
me too
The Way Bipo & Mania Look At The Bubbles At The End Is Pure Cuteness.
Thanks, @HallieTheSilly! I appreciate that! 😺❤
Which one is bipolar? Or are they both? I'd appreciate a video clarifying everyone's names
@@naomiparsons462 I believe they're both Bipolar
@@naomiparsons462 i dunno cause my memory is bad, but i believe one represents bipolar 1 and the other represents bipolar 2 (which only really differs in intensity of swings and depression, mania, and hypomania)
@@Medi_Aevum I didn't even know there were 2 types. Thanks!
0:40 I feel awful for them! You do a good job at conveying emotion.
Great job on the redesigns Pixi, I admire your dedication to creating unique and respectful characterizations of mental disorders. Keep up the good work!
Hi @ezekielblufur948! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I’m thrilled to hear that you appreciate the redesigns and the effort to create respectful and unique portrayals of mental disorders. Your encouragement means a lot! ❤
@@PixiGags Don't forget to keep listening to your community when you make it big! The respect and dedication you've given your work and community shows an incredibly great quality that we all see less and less creators follow throughout the years.
Thank you for changing the designs! They look much better this way ^w^
You are most welcome, @sunflowerspirited4974! I am glad you like their new design! ❤
I definitely feel like these designs mesh better with the universe :) the crash after the happy bounces is very accurate. Very high highs and very low lows. I'm glad someone is there to help Bipo and Mani regulate
I am ADHD, and I love this series. I also serve as the leader/problem solver of my friend group.
One minor inaccuracy, when an ADHD person is hyper focusing, we can outlast pretty much everyone and have no idea how much time has passed.
Hi @benjaminmarshall5071! I’m glad to hear that you love the series and that it resonates with you. Thank you for pointing out the nuance about hyperfocus-it’s definitely true that when someone with ADHD is deeply engaged in something, they can lose track of time completely. I appreciate your input and will keep this in mind for future episodes. All the best to you and your friends! 😺☘
It looked like they got overstimulated (thus the pacing) and then the exhaustion from breaking a long hyperfocus kicked in.
Yeah i was also confused how they just tuckered out. Few days ago i spent... upwards of 10 hours playing ck3. 7 am. I also spent 3 hours straight when i found an animated series on youtuhe between 2 and 5 am back in 2020
Yeah, I was confused about that. I'm medicated, but if I'm enjoying something or get fixated with something, I'm sticking with that thing for as long as I can. Maybe I'll have to give up and drop it if I'm not making any progress with it (like if it's a problem I'm trying to solve), but you'd bet I'm still thinking about it and coming back to it multiple times like a stubborn animal.
Then again, maybe the cat got bored partway through and lost interest after overcoming a tough challenge and nothing else in the game compared to that challenge, so the fixation just broke.
For me, it really depends on what else is going on and how interested I personally am with something. I can focus entirely on some video games and keep playing for hours, but I can get really distracted and restless as well, especially with some movies for some reason. But even that isn't consistent
I can also really resonate with having tons of energy when doing something and then just crashing as soon as I am no longer actively engaged with something
I like these designs more than the old ones. Honestly, I just appreciate that you were willing to listen to community feedback at all! Too many RUclipsrs/content creators just don’t really care or listen, and when it comes to something like portraying neurodivergence, listening to the people who actually have it is one of the best things you can do!! Keep up the great work :)
Hi @TomGhoulerie! I’m really glad you like the new designs! Listening to those with lived experiences is very important to me, and your support and recognition mean a lot. Thank you so much! 💖☘
I continue to love that adhd and autism have things of each other like the toys, and now the clothes of each other
All these videos have the characters doing things and displaying traits that only those with the disorders or knowledgeable with them will get, none of it is signposted, and honestly, I find that amazingly refreshing. In mainstream media a lot of neurodivergance is focused on single "popular" parts of a disorder or is steeped in outdated clichés.
Thank you, @felinusfeline5559! I really appreciate your comment! It’s important to me to represent neurodivergence in a way that resonates with those who have those traits. I’m glad you find it refreshing and authentic. Your support means a lot, and I’m glad you enjoy my content! 💖
I love how as the series goes on Aspy and Pixi are becoming bigger and bigger literal fans of each other with the best friend merch, it’s so silly
Thanks so much for your support, @bronthesaurus3648! I am glad you feel that way about Aspy and Pixi! All the best! 💖✌
I love how Aspy is just hyperfocusing on the game
0:14 relatable
Very
bro my primal instincts kicked in as soon as i got this notification 😭🙏
Thanks so much for your support, @Ya_Boi_Joe13! I am glad to hear how this series resonates with you!
Same😭
I was like "NO WAY NO WAY IT'S HERE IT'S HEEEEEEEERRRREEEEEE"
Yet again the ADHD cat is just like me fr though. Gets intensely fixated on something for a while before eventually losing interest and taking a nap instead
I just noticed that the descriptions of these videos includes more info about the disorders as well as character names for all of the kitties!
Great work as always :3
As someone with ADHD and an autistic brother, I can confirm Pixi and Aspy is pretty accurate
I love how you portrayed ADHD kitty as not being able to focus on the video game! So many people think that ADHD only magically activates when it's something we don't want to do anyway, but let me tell ya, it does NOT.
I’m glad that Pixi in this episode resonates with you, @princesszelda1997! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I know that ADHD affects many people, and I’m trying to create awareness with my series. All the best! ☘✌
idk why but i never expected to see bipolar rep but it makes me feel overwhealmingly happy and comforted🥺, your shorts and designs bring me so much joy🤧❤️❤️ i really appreciate and amd really fond of the way your animations feel educated and respectful towards disabilites and always have a happy ending
Hi @cyupid2937! I’m so glad to hear that my representation of bipolar disorder made you feel happy and brought you joy! Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation-I really value your support. Wishing you all the best and sending you lots of love! 😊💖
Aspy is just me fr. Everyone else can have their drama, but I’m locked in.
Hi @MatthewsBranchLine! I’m glad to hear how relatable you find little Aspy. Thank you for letting me know! 💖☘
ADHD Constantly being the one to step in and help the others brings me a unique sense of joy
You knocked this one out of the park! I loved everything about this: the slight tweaks to Bipo and Mania's designs, the contrast and similarities between their behavior and Pixi/Aspy's, the TV just blowing up at the end, just about everything! I recently showed these animations to my stepmother, and she told me that she couldn’t wait for you to cover bipolar disorder, a condition she herself has, so i’ll send this to her and report back her thoughts! You did incredible as always!
what did your mom think of the animation? :O
@@IndominusWolf She said that she loved it!
Nice you gave them redesigns after that critique on the community post while still remaining true to their original designs. They look great!
Gasp! A depiction of mania and Bipolar 1 that wasn't dehumanizing/demonizing??
Thank you. Truly. It means a lot for me to see this kind of content. Bipolar 1 can be a terribly isolating condition, and it is easy for me to give in to that... Positivity like this is truly uplifting, and reassures me that there are kind people out there who see people like me as the human beings we are. We just deal with something that can make things complicated at times. Consider me subbed. Work like this needs to be supported.
It's my pleasure, @manicpixiedreaminggrrrl. I am glad that you like my depiction of Bipolar 1. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you face, but I want you to know that you are not alone and that this is a supportive community where you are always welcome to confide and share your experiences. I truly appreciate your support and wish you all the best! ❤🌼
@@PixiGagsHello Pixi-Gags! I wanted to ask, are Bipo and Mania representative of Bipolar 1 and Mania respectively? If so, may I ask what the difference is?
god, adhd wandering off, then passing out is too real lol. that is exactly what i face with my audhd homie: he's locked in for a while before adhd go brrr
Aspy and Pixie perfectly represent what it's like for me playing video games. Either i'm hooked for 4 hours with no interruptions or I get the sudden spike of energy and need to wander the room or check my phone every ten minutes.
New designs definitely work, subtle but good changes! And overall very cute!
I don't feel seen a lot because people kinda see the Bipolar/Mania thing and shut down conversation wise, even online weirdly, unless its some kind of essay or instructional video. This was nice. Thank you.
You’re welcome, @benjaminfrench7541! I’m glad this episode of 'Neurodiverse Friends' helped you feel seen and appreciated. Thanks for letting me know! 😺☘
omg I love their redesigns!! Really glad you heard the feedback on the original designs ^_^
Hi @SamSandwichs! I’m thrilled that you love the redesigns! Thanks so much for your support and for noticing the updates! 😺☘
I love how you took criticism! The new design of the twins are great 😄❤
Thanks @poupee9171! I am glad that you like the new designes! 😺😊
Once again you impress me Pixi-Gags. these Neurodiverse Friends videos are just getting better and better everytime.
Hi @Yakuza-Merkitzi! I’m happy to hear that you think the Neurodiverse Friends videos are improving with each episode. Your encouragement means a lot and keeps me motivated to keep creating new episodes. Thanks for your support! 😺💖
I love the new designs! The old ones were very cute too, but these fit with the mellow tones more!
The design of the twins are super cute
ADHD having Zoomies and then passing tf out for a nap is so relatable. That's how I am with video games, even on my meds. I'm SUPER in the zone for about an hour and then I crash hard.
Hi @TransDrummer1312! It’s great to hear that you relate to the characters’ experiences in the series. I always love knowing when the stories resonate. Thank you for your support! 🌈☘
I see you took the community’s comments to heart! The redesigns are nice. And you know they fit in aesthetically with your cast better.
I’m glad you think so, @pourcelaine! The community’s feedback has been invaluable in shaping Bipo and Mania to make them relatable and fit the style of the series. All the best! 💖✌
This is so cool I love the way you animate and make them all look so cute!! Me and my friends are just like them
Love the nonverbal approach these animations take
Im happy you lessened to the criticisms you received/gen/pos. I loved all the designs but the redesines are definitely less stereotypical. Always good to see someone actually hear the voices they try to represent!
I’m glad they listened and altered their designs
YAYAYYAYA NEW VIDEO YAYYY!!!!!!!!!
Watched it fully : SO CUTEEE love how the adhd cat cheered them up eith bubbles at the end :3
Thanks for your support, @rottentriangle! I am glad that you like the ending.
Although I do not have bipolar, I identify with autism and bipolar, because sometimes I am calm doing my interests but sometimes I get so excited that I stim a lot (example: jumping and doing spinning when I am winning a game or I am proud of my drawing).
Autism is like me when I first picked up Quasimorph and didn't realize it wasn't 10pm anymore, it was 4am.
Stopping what I’m doing to walk around (or lay down) for a bit. Yup, very accurate.
I can't believe I'm not the only one that jumps around playing Any Video Game
Hi @UCDitto! I’m so happy to hear that you can relate to Bipo and Mania having fun with video games. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and much love! ❤️
Oh my gosh SAME! I don't really do it anymore, but I used to jump around while playing video games ALL THE TIME as a kid!
These redesigns are great! That shows you take the time to listen and understand, and I respect that! Keep doing what you love!!!
I love that they wear outfits with each other on them
Absolutely ecstatic to see you make a vid on Bipolar ❤
So happy you took everyone’s feedback into account 💖 I really love your work!
I truly appreciate your kind words, @yaraterveer6364! The community’s feedback has been incredibly helpful in making Bipo and Mania more relatable. Thank you so much for your support, I’m happy to hear that you love my work! 💖☘
It’s so great how you show the different kinds of neurodiversity ❤️
TYSM Karin! I appreciate your support. 💖
The switch from complete focus on the game to pacing around is so real
Yes, @Chimes-real! Seeing it animated actually makes me want to do it even more often! 😅✌
To be fair, as an ADHD person, I can definitely stay on something like gaming for a long time if I'm into it. _Too_ long, even. Cute animation, though!
I LOVE the redesigns! They're so adorable and I'm really glad you took the recommendations to consideration! Can't wait to see more of them! Also I just noticed this is basically about how mania can feel like hyperactiveness which is why I thought I was just adhd for the longest time, thanks for showing the differences and I appreciate my silly comment being shared in a story like this!
to be fair most people would be sad if their tv exploded from their mad skills at a game
This short series on RUclips has really explained to me more about myself than I can imagine, I’ve had adhd ever since I was born, and these animations about cats are by far the most relatable and accurate portrayals of adhd I’ve ever seen, and it’s helped me learn about other Neurodiverse conditions that people can have without them being portrayed in a negative light, like how this animation is one of the first I’ve seen of bipolar disorder without it being shown as compulsively violent or cruel, it a a breath of fresh air seeing these syndromes being show as something that isn’t the harmful stereotype, thank you.
Hi @parkervance3646! I’m incredibly touched by your message. I’m so glad to hear that the series has helped you understand ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions better, and that it portrays these experiences in a positive light. Thank you for your kind words and support! 💖😺
@@PixiGags and thank you for making others feel heard!
The ADHD vs Biopolar sounds like a rap battle. Anyways this is adorable
I really appreciate the redesigns for these two. I dont experience BPD myself, but I appreciate your willingness to listen to your audience and adjust the designs 💜
Hi @AquaticFerret! I’m glad you like the new versions of Bipo and Mania. Your feedback has been invaluable in making the characters more relatable. Thank you for your kind words and support! 💖✌
The ADHD cat getting up to walk around and take breaks is SO accurate my god. I have severe ADHD and even when I'm doing something I enjoy, sometimes I just CANNOT sit still for extended periods of time and need to "hit refresh" on my brain by doing something else for a bit and then I go back. It's like clearing cache in your brain 😂 it's wayyy worse when I'm doing something uninteresting like writing a paper 😭
Hi @vglycorpse! I'm so glad you found the ADHD cat relatable! I'm happy that you're able to "hit refresh," as that can really help manage focus. I can imagine it gets harder with tasks like writing a paper; some tasks definitely have a different sensory impact. It’s important to find those little breaks that help you reset! Thanks for sharing your experience, and all the best! ❤✌
Aww! I love this series so much, and I like how Bipo and Mania are now simplified and more cat-like than their concept art! Very cute.
I love your animations and their means. You are amazing, bro
Thanks so much, @NameNot_Decided! I really appreciate that.
Ugh! This helps so much. Was just diagnosed BiPo and its so refreshing to see it depicted accurately and in an easy to understand manner. It makes me feel so seen ^^
“Hey, it’s me aspy, welcome back to a new gameplay video. Today we have pixi with us…. Yay!
I am running out of words to describe how amazing, cute, and amazingly cute your animations are. I love how Pixi has to stop to stim because she's worried about something(?)
During all the chaos and a TV literally *explodes*, Aspy is just living his best life and playing his video games. XD
Keep up the great work and keep informing us!
Hi @xhaandyesh! Thank you so much for your wonderful message! I’m thrilled to hear that you find the animations amazing and cute. I’m glad you enjoyed my characters’ dynamic! Your support and enthusiasm mean a lot. I’ll definitely keep up the work and continue bringing you relatable content that informs and entertains. All the best! 😊💖✌
I have ADHD and autism and I do exactly what the adhd and autism cats do when playing games
I forgot their names qwq
Hi @ScribblBox! Thanks for sharing. Theyr names are Pixi and Aspy! All the best! 💖😺
Thank you for changing the designs they look much better now
You are welcome, @corndawgtabrocker6969! I am glad that you like Bipo and Mania's new look. 💖
Could you make one about anxiety?? I have bad anxiety and most people find it as a burden. I find it can be sometimes useful. If you can't, no pressure. Have a good day!!
I love it when the tall one just pulls out a random toy it's like he has something for whatever he wants to do at any given moment.
Oh yes, Pixi has quite a collection! This way, they don’t have to spend extra screen time looking for props. 😺✌
@@PixiGags I can't stop picturing pixi as batman but instead of a grapling hook and all the other stuff it's just a bunch of toys they fits off screen
Cool shape language for those kitties!
Thanks @michaelbourret339! I appreciate that! 💖❤
love the redesigns!!
Hi @jesternightlight! I’m so glad you love the redesigns! ❤️ It’s important to me to portray bipolar disorder in a positive and realistic light. I’m thrilled you find them to be a nice duo. Thank you for your kind words!
i love this little series it combines learning and cats A lot of my friends have neurodiversities like me I have dyslexia and ADD And a lot of my friends have bipolar disorders autism ADHD OCD and others i cant Remember and its cool having them put in the spotlight and helping people learn about them
THESE CARTOONS ALWAYS MAKE ME SO HAPPY i wish people were like this irl

Love how the bipolar cat represents the manic phase as gaming and you are so exited to read so you start to jump around and hou the depressive phase is when your console/tv breaks and you get very sad ❤❤😂😂😊😊😊😊
Hi @xxzoomfractalchannelxx8676!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the representation of bipolar disorder in this episode! It’s wonderful to hear that the depiction of the manic phase as gaming and the depressive phase with the broken console resonated with you. I try to balance humor and empathy to make these experiences both relatable and informative. Thank you for your support, and take good care! ✌😺
I adore these little animations ^^ they warm my heart…
Thanks, @TheLoudFox ! I am glad to hear that. 😺

Hi @flesh.maggot_! I’m so glad to hear that you feel represented and welcomed in my channel! Thank you for your kindness and support! ❤☘
For real now, if I had the means I would become a member and support your work! You totally deserve it. I never had any creator I follow to pay attention to my feedback and actually incorporate it. You are an amazing artist and and amazing person! Your work is so meaningful to me and a lot of people. I feel that your cute animations will help people like me to be seen as more human. As I bipolar type 1, I have dealt with so much prejudice. This makes me feel so seen. Keep doing what you do and thank you!
Thanks for your kind words, @fjjdfgdlnjftsqf1279! Knowing that you find my work meaningful is incredibly rewarding. I’m sorry to hear about the prejudice and negativity you’ve faced - I understand how tough that can be.
People often react out of fear and instinct, not conscious choice. This is because of our limbic system, which is the part of the brain involved in our behavioral and emotional responses, especially when it comes to survival. When someone encounters something or someone different, it can trigger their limbic system, causing a fear response. This fear can make them react negatively or with prejudice, even if there is no real threat.
So, try not to take it personally. Their reactions are more about their own fears and conditioning than about you. I’m glad my series helps you feel seen. Take care and stay strong! ❤
Pixi "Uh oh, someone feels bad. Break out the emergency bubbles!"
😊😺🌼
I love the way you portray these different conditions in your animations. They're cute animations that also tie up the little condition boxes with a neat bowtie helping inform and educate others about them in a not so complex but charming way.
God I am OBSESSED with these shorts they’re so damn charming.
Thank you so much for your support, @Vivigreeny25! I am glad you like my series. 💖😺
i'll never stop watching ur content pixi-gags!!! you always make very amazing illustrations of what bipolar & ocd (along with other ones 2 :3) of what they actually are, it's very refreshing and i sometimes feel like it educates some people too (heck it educates me as well with these typa stuff) ^. ^
Hi @dapperlilyppad4098, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that you appreciate how the animations portray different conditions. It’s important to me to inform and educate in a way that’s both relatable and appealing. Your support means a lot, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 😊❤☘
@@PixiGags i think u accidentally pinged the wrong person but tysm anyway!!!!!!! >.
As a bipolar girlie myself, i relate a lot!!! I get a new hobbie, i get hiperfixated on it, i overdo it... Then i get tired/depressed because i spent so much time focusing on it.
And they look so cute!!!! I loved them so much!!!!
Hi @fjjdfgdlnjftsqf1279! I’m glad you find the bipolar siblings so relatable and that you love them! I like how you used the word "hyperfixated" - it really captures the intensity of the mania cycle. 😺✌
While I miss the old designs, I can understand why some people may not see it the way I do, and that's ok.
I appreciate that, @VixTheNinetales! There was a lot of input, but I’m glad it helped me finalize Bipo and Mania’s design in a way that is both relatable and original. Thanks for your kind words! ✌☘
I love the redesigns!! They fit in with the rest of the cast way better now!! Great work as always!
