this is amazing.
I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character
"I can't do this. my disability prevents me from doing this"
another disabled person: well I have to do this! have you considered just doing it anyways?
"I'm not sure you know what can't means and I also don't think you realize that I, too, have to do those things. I just.. y'know, can't."
the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.
i find it interesting the overlap of c-ptsd symptoms with autistic traits.
i get asked all the time if im autistic. i even started questioning it myself just from how often this happened to me.
but while yes i have a lot of symptoms that are a part of many autistic peoples experiences, i wasnt always this way. i developed these symptoms throughout my childhood as i went through more and more trauma.
i remember when i wasnt sensitive to noise, light, etc. i remember when my social abilities were practically the same as my neurotypical peers. i remember when i never needed to carry stim toys everywhere i went. just to name a few.
anyways, i have so much in common with my autistic friends. while we arent the same, we get each other on a level that i havent found with many neurotypicals. ive also found that i often gravitate towards autistic people without meaning to.
i think its nice that we can find community where we didnt really expect it.
its okay to mourn.
its okay to mourn the childhood you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the career you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the children you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the education you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the friendships and social life you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the hobbies you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the travel you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the life you could’ve had.
nobody gets to tell you that you need to cheer up.
one of the worst parts for me about chronic illness is not having answers.
im a very logical and analytical person i love things to make sense i love patterns and reasons.
i have answers for pats of my health, and im so grateful for that, but the parts that i dont have answers for haunt me.
i think about it all the time. what if its not real and thats why theres no answer? what if im not explaining my symptoms right and thats why i havent had the right test that would give me the right answer.
i know logically that its a waste of time to think about, but i cant help it, i obsess over it. not understanding the world is one thing, but not understanding my own body? my own life? thats what gets me.
What if Bloom was a playable character in HSR?
• vidyadhara
• probably grew up on Belobog (or just another planet)
• i think Daphne could be one of her prior incarnations
• fire hunt🏹🔥 + inflicts Burn
• FuA (I think Kiko would be a summon)

This sketch is so messy omg I'll probably make a redraw and add more detail to her top when I have time
i feel so disconnected from myself and my life, it kinda feels like im on autopilot or smth
life doesnt feel very real or tangible, it feels distant
'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now
“consistency is key” doesn’t apply to many disabled people.
going to the doctor and having them tell me that, and that i need to stick to a schedule they have deemed appropriate is completely comedic.
what about the fact that my health and ability to do anything is a constant gamble? it can change drastically and almost instantly at any given time.
what about how right now i can stand up and make myself breakfast, but by lunch time? who knows. i may be unable to even sit up.
how do u listen to me explain that i dont have a daily or weekly schedule because of how unpredictable my health is, and reply by giving me a schedule.
do you not think i have tried to stick to a routine and schedule like all the healthy people around me??
all i see is people with consistency. i grew up thinking i was broken because i couldnt. i have pushed myself to breaking points trying to fit your mould of success and health.
im sorry if you experience this too. im going to make another post about what consistency can look like for me and other disabled people. because while we dont fit the classic definition of it, there are ways we can make our own version. i wish doctors would listen to me and would help me find my version instead of insisting on theirs, but they havent, so i wanna try help others find theirs. prt. 2 here (now going to make multiple more posts on this topic lol)
