Right. I feel incredibly awkward doing this, but Tumblr - I need writing advice.

Basically, I’m writing a story, and one of my characters is blind in one eye. I recognise that life with partial blindness is different to fully sighted life. However, I’m fully sighted, and I don’t want to accidentally make mistakes or offend anybody. So... I have some questions. If anybody with knowledge about any of this can answer anything, or throw in extra info, that would be great!

First off, a little background about my character. He was born fully sighted, but got into a fight at 16, and got stabbed in his left eye. He survived the attack, but even with heavy surgery, he wound up blind in his left eye, whilst his right eye can see perfectly well. He’s now 19 years old, and has a job as a hacker/computer specialist/hacktivist. Now, for the questions!

1: Is there any way that being partially blind heavily affects day-to-day life? I know that depth perception would be heavily impaired or completely gone, because of biology, but I have a feeling that there’s more to it, and it’s different from full blindness/impaired eyesight in both eyes. So, I’m just checking on this.

2: Would any adjustments have to be made to living spaces to accommodate him? (He currently lives on the road/out of his car, if that affects anything. On the same note, could he actually drive? Because of the depth perception.)

3: Are there any other effects that partial blindness has on one’s life that I might be overlooking? Like, emotional effects, mental wellbeing, etc etc.

4: Would it be an effective idea for me to buy an eyepatch and cover my left eye with it for one or two weeks, or is that incredibly offensive and not a good idea? I might edit or follow up on this post with more questions in the future if more arise. Please tell me if I’ve been offensive here, or made mistakes with phrasing, tags, anything! I don’t want to accidentally be rude! Thanks in advance for any advice people might be able to give. :)

SIGNAL BOOST!!!

alright I’m not sure how this works but here we go. so my friend saw this post:

and didn’t think much of it until she got a text saying the very thing the post was warning about.

SHE’S 14 GOD DAMN YEARS OLD. PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SIGNAL BOOST THIS! THAT LINK COULD POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS. PLEASE SHARE THIS AND PLEASE, PLEASE BE SAFE & CAREFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

So, Americans. As a British person, I'm so, sincerely sorry for all the atrocities we've committed towards your country (And towards every other country as well. Sorry for all the British atrocities), and I'm so, sincerely sorry about the situation in your country right now, but, uh... Our prime minister looks vaguely like Trump and to be honest, is starting to act like him as well. Things are going to shit. Tips, please?

Jack Harkness and English

Random thought about Jack Harkness :D

So Jack comes from the 51st century, right? Even if his native language is called English (which I highly doubt), it sure isn’t 21st century English and he can’t understand or speak it. He probably speaks some universal language well enough as well as his native language. But he was a Time Agent, which means his job included interactions with people from other time and other cultures and they all certainly didn’t learn a new language every few missions. So the Time Agency used translators. But was it transplanted or something in his Vortex Manipulator? For all we know, Jack could actually be speaking another language all day long, and hear his own language in response.

But he does say things like “Ianto I need to hear those beautiful Welsh vowels” (or something like that), so he hears accents. I’m not an expert on hypothetical future implanted translator (I know, deception) and they could very well manage to translate accents, but let’s assume that by that time Jack is speaking fully English and hears the Welsh accent in English sentences (so he has a translator he can turn off on his Vortex Manipulator.)

What’s interesting is: that would mean that he actually had to learn English.

Now, do I want to imagine Jack asking someone to write everything he says and recording himself somehow and once alone he stops the translator and listens to try and see which words are which? You bet I do! Jack having trouble with English and questioning words like pineapple, really? Jack having a complicated mother language and finding English conjugation to be a big joke. Jack wondering what a coma is because it sure didn’t exist for him.

Yes, I want Jack very confused at the English language :D
