Happy Disability Pride Month! This comic was never meant to be pretty or neat, but rather meant to tell my story with internalized ableism and dealing with medical trauma. It's a very personal story, and even making it was a tough decision, but I went through too much recovery not to do so.

Alt text under the cut

A short comic, all drawn with a loose style in a warmly tinted grayscale. The first panel depicts Scaramouche from Genshin Impact, he is dressed in the attire he wears as the playable Wanderer character and is angrily gesticulating towards the viewer and looking down at them scornfully. He says, in all capital letters, "are you deaf??". The second panel is a view from behind the Wanderer, showing the viewer that he was yelling at the Genshin Impact character Alhaitham. Alhaitham is significantly taller than the wanderer, even with his hat, and has a neutral expression and stance. The Wanderer has an anime style anger mark above his head, and Alhaitham has a speech bubble that only contains ellipses.

In the first panel of the second image, the Wanderer and Alhaitham still face one another in the same poses, except for Alhaitham's right hand. His hand is moving in the American Sign Language sign for "yes", which is also plainly written out for the viewer in text. The wanderer's anger symbol is no longer present. The middle panel is a simplified silhouette of both characters facing one another, their profiles visible to the viewer. A large ellipses hovers above their heads. The final panel shows the Wanderer turning away from Alhaitham, tugging down his wide-brimmed hat from the front to cover his face. All that can be seen of his expression is a small smile and a bead of sweat. The Wanderer has a speech bubble, which says in lower case lettering: "ah. my mistake". Alhaitham is standing behind the Wanderer, his expression still mostly neutral as he watches the wanderer turn to leave, but he has lines below his eyes that show irritation. His arms are now crossed, and his left hand is holding a book open under the opposite arm.

The bonus image is a grayscale sketch of Lumine and Kaveh from Genshin Impact. To the left, Lumine looks frustrated, with her shoulders drawn up and her left hand pressed to her face while the other rests on her hip. The hand on her face is dragging the lower eyelid on her left eye down. Kaveh is slightly hunched over towards Lumine, and he is laughing so hard he's crying and spitting through pursed lips. He's holding his sides with opposite hands tightly, and looking towards Lumine.

I went to see a local middle school production of Newsies Jr. and it was super cute and here are my...

SHOW NOTES

The production started with the choir singing "Home on the Range" a capella. 💯

It was very fun and moving to see child characters played by real kids. Jack was a little scrappy guy (David, Crutchie and Katherine were all taller). Racetrack had very pink cheeks. Albert was wearing an enormously oversized vest and shirt with rolled up pants. Pigtails was the dirtiest newsie. Buttons had the most emphatic New York accent.

David and Les showed up to sell in matching argyle sweater vests.

Pulitzer who was the only character not played by a middle schooler for some reason (he looked like a weird high schooler least or maybe he was in his 20s). He was a head taller than Hanna, Seitz and Bunsen, who were a comedy trio behind him, constantly cowering but then egging each other on.

Crutchie was so excited to teach Les to sell and looked on with pride as Les scammed that lady.

The kid playing Snyder was doing some kind of strangled, raspy villain voice that was hilarious and scary by turns.

At Medda's, David introduced himself as "Davey" and then looked so annoyed at himself.

Morris kept trying to give various newsies papes, even after they said they were striking.

Racetrack went around kicking the bundles of papes off the stage. He was absolutely that kid who always slides on his belly to the front of the pic, cheesing.

Katherine was a big girl with glasses and know-it-all energy and she had objectively the best voice. She killed Watch What Happens!

In the fight, Crutchie got knocked to the ground while three uniformed cops plus Snyder crowded around, kicking him. People in the audience were audibly upset. ACAB!

Jack picked up Crutchie's abandoned crutch with the strike banner still attached and he had it on the fire escape during Santa Fe. He sang the line "dumb crip's just too damn slow." This was the only time anyone said the c-slur in the whole play. He was so sad and he got angrier and angrier as he sang but that last note was beautiful.

They played "Money Money Money" by ABBA during the intermission, and I ran into Seitz in the ladies restroom. She was about 4'11" tall and asked me if I was enjoying the show. Of course!

Crutchie tried to get to his feet during his song, but he couldn't do it.

Bunsen made a big deal about concealing Katherine with his body and then dramatically revealing her.

In his office, Pulitzer said to Jack, "I'll see to it your pockets are filled with enough cash to take you to ... where was it again?" And then both Delancey brothers, who had gnarly bruises in their faces from the fight, sang out "Santa Feeeee!"

The Brooklyn newsies all had red bandanas.

After they made up after the rally, David initiated a spit shake with Jack, but Jack really horked up a loogie and David super regretted it.

David got right in Pulitzer's face to tell him circulation was down and Pultizer got mad and shoved him backward and David just grinned.

Crutchie and Jack hugged and then hugged again.

Pulitzer got booed during the bows!

The crew was mostly very queer high school students.

Some of this stuff might be in the Newsies Jr. script and not unique to this production, but it was all delightful.

Tyrion's Seasons of Love

I’ve been wondering if Tyrion’s arc in the novels can be seen as following the progression of the song that Tysha used to sing to him, The Seasons of My Love.

I loved a maid as fair as summer with sunlight in her hair I loved a maid as red as autumn with sunset in her hair I loved a maid as white as winter with moonglow in her hair

The song begins in the summer and summer is also where we first meet Tyrion. In the summer section of the novels, Tyrion is facing the outcome of his spring dreams being crushed- his past naïveté and hopefulness is examined under the harsh light of day. Because of Tywin's brutal abuse, Tyrion believes that the only way he can have love or friendship is through purchasing it with gold, as he does with Shae and Bronn. He also no longer dreams of dragons, as he tells Jon on the way to the wall. Yet it is still summer, and he is still somewhat optimistic in spite of himself. There is warmth in his relationship with Bronn and he falls in love with Shae in spite of himself. He also believes he is coming into his own as Hand of the King, using his unique talents to accomplish great things for his family.

Then the sun sets dramatically and Tyrion finds himself in a dark place. He is abandoned after the battle of the Blackwater and all his contributions to save the city are forgotten or attributed to others. He loses his nose and his position as Hand of the King. He survives an assassination attempt by Cersei, is forced to marry Sansa Stark, and finally is put on trial for a murder he did not commit. During the trial, Shae betrays and humiliates him (though she didn't really have a choice) and his father was ready to either execute him or exile him to the wall. Though his brother Jaime helps him escape, he also reveals the truth about Tysha.

After all he has recently been through coupled with a lifetime of abuse and trauma and Jaime's revelation, Tyrion murders both Tywin and Shae. Later, after escaping, he buys a sexual slave in Volantis called the Sunset Girl. She is called the Sunset Girl because she is believed to be from “The Sunset Kingdom,” (Westeros) though as it turns out she does not speak the common tongue. She also could be called the “Sunset Girl” because of her curly red hair. The Sunset Girl is very aptly named because she is a symbolic culmination of the sunset portion of Tyrion's arc. Tyrion knows that she is a sex slave and cannot refuse him, but he buys her anyway. It is deeply, deeply disturbing. He has tragically become "the monster" everyone thought he was. He is a rapist. He is a murderer. He is a villain. The end.

Except if Tyrion’s arc is following the song, it is not the end. It is only autumn. It is only sunset. It is only half way through the song.

Winter is still coming for Tyrion and for all the characters. And, there is still the possibility of "a dream of spring" for Tyrion. GRRM doesn't write easy characters and he doesn't write easy wins. He complicates the catharsis of Tyrion killing his lifelong abuser, Tywin, with the murder of Shae and the rape of the Sunset Girl. It is through these acts that the Tyrion we knew, who once defended and protected sex workers and who refused to rape Sansa (as his father instructed him to do) symbolically dies. As he says himself:

There are worse ways to die than drowning. And if truth be told, he had perished long ago, back in King’s Landing. It was only his revenant who remained, the small vengeful ghost who throttled Shae and put a crossbow bolt through the great Lord Tywin’s bowels. No man would mourn the thing that he’d become. (ADWD, Tyrion V)

But, the dead are rising in these novels. Tyrion is rising out of his own long night already the way he cares for and protects Penny, which is reminiscent of Theon Greyjoy's protection of Jeyne Poole. There’s evidence that he will also join forces with Daenerys and her crusade to end slavery. He will see the dragons that he use to dream about as a boy. The spring verse of The Seasons of My Love has not been revealed in the novels. Can this be seen as hopeful? Unlike a straight tragedy, Tyrion's future is not yet written. Just like Jaime's page in the white book: He could write whatever he chose, henceforth. (ASOS, Jaime IX.)

Tyrion's arc mirroring The Seasons of My Love song makes sense, because in spite of the tragedy of his life and the bitterness of his story, he may yet claw his way toward a hopeful ending. After all:

He had been born in the dead of winter, a terrible cruel one that the maesters said had lasted near three years, but Tyrion's earliest memories were of spring. (AGOT, Tyrion III)

The spring verse is likely the first verse of the song. Yet, it's reveal will be the last, ending the books with a beginning.

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again:

autism is a disability

and while we are disabled by society, we are not only disabled by society. It’s a fairly common sentiment among low support needs autistics that “if society was accommodating, we wouldn’t be disabled.”

I think part of this can just be a step in the learning process. Maybe you just got diagnosed and are still figuring things out and unlearning internalized ableism.

But nah, I’m overstimulated in spring by the black flies and contrasting warm sun and cool wind. I’m overstimulated in summer by the suffocating heat and the feeling of sweating. Fall is the same as spring, as well as what I can do each day being super unpredictable because of the changing weather. Winter is evil and I have to stay inside for almost the whole season.

I’m overwhelmed by the sound of people chewing, a door opening unexpectedly, my own breathing sounds, my clothes smelling slightly different, the difference in water texture at other peoples houses.

Our brains are wired differently. We are inherently disabled (in my experience). And that’s not a bad thing.

Yes some are more disabled than others, but your autism wouldn’t just disappear if you have accommodations. It can get a lot more manageable, yes! But not disappear. And if it does, you probably weren’t autistic in the first place.

Also, the very fact of needing accommodations kind of negates the whole “not disabled” argument lol. Like, “if everything was different, I wouldn’t be disabled!” Sure, if everything was different, maybe we could fly too, but that’s not our reality 😅

"Autistic people have no empathy", right? "Autistic people don't understand or care about other people's feelings", right? No. I was severely bullied in 2022. I felt suicidal every day. And who bullied me? Neurotypicals. Who knew exactly what they were doing to me and enjoyed it? Neurotypicals. Meanwhile, who asked if I was okay? Autistic people. Who asked if they could do anything to help? Autistic people. Who supported me? Autistic people. If your definition of "empathy" is being horrible to someone and not caring how they feel, or ignoring a person who's obviously upset? Then I'm glad I'm not empathetic. Autistic people have been kinder to me than you ever have.

Rant about Taylor Swift

CW for racism and ableist language

How TF am I supposed to believe that Taylor Swift is a "Queer icon"?

SHE'S STRAIGHT AS A STRAIGHT LINE-

Also aren't some of the lyrics in her recent album problematic??? Didn't she use racist and ableist lyrics???

"I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists"

... Errm... Except it's impossible for that to happen, because slavery wasn't "abolished" until 1865 (Note: Slavery is still legal in the form of prisons).

"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum they raised me"

... Girl, you grew up on lavish vacations.

Plus, you said in an interview that you never went to a therapist because you always felt sane. 🤦

How TF is Taylor Swift considered an "icon" while she does shit like this, and when she's straight as a straight line???

There's plenty of singers that are queer icons, such as Lady Gaga (Bisexual, idk if she likes to be labeled though-) and Halsey (She/They pronouns + bisexual), Taylor Swift isn't one of them.

I understand wanting to promote angst but stuff like this isn't tolerated here. I've seen asks going around from this person on other blogs, so if they send more things I'm just gonna ignore it.

Being ableist, anti-LGBTQ, racist, any of that stuff won't be tolerated on this blog or any of my other blogs. Cut the shit.

don't villainize mental illnesses

"oh so we should just excuse mentally ill peoples behavior then?"

no, in fact, blaming someone's behavior on their mental illness is literally placing blame away from the person and onto the mental illness. you know. excusing their actions. 🤠

the mental illness didn't harm you. the person did. blame the person.

Oc drama as an AITA story! BECAUSE WHY NOT

AITA for telling the weird girl pretty girls have struggles too

I (f16) am considered pretty by almost everyone. I’ve been contacted by modeling agencies and guys always try to ask me out. But it does have it downsides. Like I am insecure about my personality at times and other stuff which will come in hand later. But it does start with this one girl, Margaux (f16), who’s the president of the fashion club. Though she isn’t super pretty by the standards. One thing that does make her stand out is her personality. She is what you would consider a weird girl, rambles about her interests, doesn’t understand sarcasm, and is really blunt at times.

We were talking to each other because our school was about to have a fashion competition. But I was unable to have a conversation because she kept talking about a Japanese rock band. So I told her

“Oh, you’re really interested in that band,” and she replied “yes, couldn’t you tell,”

She seemed a bit mad, because she told me “there’s nothing wrong with being straight forward,”

I replied saying that sometimes people do view me as bitchy if I am blunt, and then i said “you know, being pretty does have it downsides sometimes”

Margaux remained quiet as she continued drawing. She was actually really great at designing these unique type of dresses.

“Sometimes girls doesn’t want to be my friend because they’re jealous of me,”

She replied “sometimes other girls treat me like a pet and just laugh at regular things I do, and then when I point out stuff they act like I’m in the wrong,”

I said “At least people allow you to be yourself.”

She became furious, she snapped at me and told me that being autistic is a tiring and hard. Feeling like the outsider and being forced to act normal. She then asked me if we could swap places, me becoming the average looking weird girl and her becoming the average looking “neurotypical”. I said yes. Because she would probably feel really tired to be in position. She then snapped and said “so you want to be disabled because being pretty is so hard?” And rolled her eyes.

I told her “yeah, being pretty does have some similar struggles to being autistic”

Btw Margaux’s pov coming out soon
