[disabled, trans and studying]

once again reaching out for help.

more store and commissions are open.

i need a new laptop, phone with a plan, im starting school again(hopefully), and im still struggling to pay for medication and medical visits. insurance only covers so much.

i work a part time job, i want to be able to do /something/ to finally start transitioning or at the very least save up enough on the side to eventually get myself out of here where its safer to do that.

i do digital art, i make bracelets, i write research books as ive talked about on clusterrune and more.

my comissions are here(link), my kofi is here(link), any help is greatly appreciated.

recently had to cancel a wisdom teeth removal apointment because we couldnt pay the 2k for it. even with renewed insurance.

parents are even starting to charge me for rent and taking off what they already owe me from what ive sent them to help pay for stuff.

im more than willing to create things, its actually better than accepting donations as its not exactly legal for me to be taking donations in canada.

please reblog to help me gain some reach /gen

This is just a not-so friendly reminder to non-disabled people, especially authors, people in fandoms or in media analysis circles: Cripple/crippled is not just a fancy way of faying "badly injured". it's not an adjective you can just throw in to spice up your sentence because you used "injured" or "disabled" too many times in that paragraph, or because you feel like it gives your writing some extra "oomph".

Cripple is a slur.

A slur the physically disabled community has been asking people not to use for DECADES, since at least the 1970's (50 years). It's a slur with centuries of abuse behind it, centuries of being used to justify physically disabled people as less-than, centuries of demonisation, mistreatment, ostracization, and murder.

Some people within the physical disability community are reclaiming it, that's where movements like cripplepunk (also known as crip-punk or C-punk) come from. That's fine, I'm not talking about that. I love the cripplepunk movement and everything it stands for: being unapologetic about our disabilities and not changing ourselves for the comfort or convenience of able-bodied folks. But the people who use it in that context understand the history of the word, they know how it was used to hurt us, and they understand that not everyone in the physically disabled community is comfortable with the use of the word, especially those who were around when someone being labelled as "crippled" was seen as a valid reason to treat them as less than human. They understand the impact of the word.

But If you, as an able bodied person, casually uses "cripple" in your work, at best you are showing your disabled audience that you haven't been listening to us, at worst, you show you don't care about weather we feel safe in the spaces you have created.

And for able-bodied authors specifically, even if your character is physically disabled, I'd still recommend avoiding it unless you're prepared to do a LOT of sensitivity readings from multiple sensitivity readers. I've been physically disabled since I was 1 year old, I learned to walk for the first time in prosthetics and have been using a wheelchair since I was in school, I have no memory of life as an able-bodied person, and even I don't feel comfortable using the word cripple in my work.

It's a loaded word, with a lot of implications and a LOT of very dark, and for some people, very recent history. It's not a sentence enhancer to just throw in willy-nilly. Please.

Many times abled people think that a content about a disability issue or featuring a disabled person isn't meant for them, that they aren't the primary targets, so they don't engage with it.

But I disagree.

Abled people should and are invited to engage with disability content because:

1. They can educate themselves, unlearn ableism and understand how the world as it is cripples disabled people even more, so they can contribute to improve it.

2. Disability can happen to anyone at any point in their life so already knowing stuff can help a lot.

3. They can be good supporters and recognise discrimination and lack of accessibility.

4. It's just fun and interesting. For example, if a disabled person is showing on their SM their outfit adapted to their wheelchair or something it can still be cool and nice to watch even if you aren't in a wheelchair and aren't disabled at all.

I'm sure there are plenty more reasons, these are the first that come to my mind.

sometimes i want to draw

but i am not the one who controls my hands anymore

sometimes i want to run and dance and play

but my body creaks and my head spins with every movement i force

sometimes i want to sing

but my throat croaks and the tune is lost

sometimes i want to write poetry

but my brain refuses to come up with the words

sometimes i want to tell stories

but my memory fails me and the children laugh

i want to create art

this makes me human

i want to be human

let me be human

Is there a dream fanfiction project you've always wanted to tackle but haven't had the chance to yet?

Actually, uh, yeah, I do! I even have an esoteric title!

The dream project is called "a wonder and a terror", in reference to Keanu Reeve's answer for how it feels to grow old. I want to go back and revisit most of the worlds I used to visit in fanfic. That would include Final Fantasy 7, Sorcerer Hunters, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Hellsing, Slayers, Gensoumaden Saiyuki, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Trigun, Gargoyles, and Generation X--aaaaaaaaall stuff I once obsessed over.

The thing is, I was writing/reading fic for those works when I was a teenager. And most of these works also feature teenagers, or very young adults. In a lot of cases, these shows are literally about child soldiers, or extremely young/inexperienced adults being forced to take on The Good Of The World.

The theme I'd take on in all these fics will be threefold:

What happens to child soldiers when the war ends and they grow up?

What happens to folks who thought they'd die on the battlefield who live long enough to experience aging?

What happens to characters who became powerful/famous under one gender identity who try to transition?

In addition to flipping characters' genders or their cis status, I plan on doing a LOT related to characters having chronic disabilities, physical as well as mental. And there will be a lot of shipping, many of it for ships I never explicitly wrote for in the past. (Specifically, I'm very glad that Barret/Cloud's time has come 'round at last.)

Some fics are already released on my account. "Entering King" is where I introduce the idea of trans man!Sanzo, which ties into some of the stuff I wanted to do for the Gensoumaden Saiyuki fics. My Gen X work is going to take place in the same canon already established here. Not a lot has been completed yet, but I do hold out hope that I'll get there!

To any Naruto fans out there:

Renorarc/Nora’s Boys is the better version of NaruSasuSaku.

That is all.

Me every time I check in on the Batman comics:

#excuse me Bruce did what now #he did what to Jason?! #he purposely gave him crippling anxiety #like implanted that in his BRAIN #wtfff is this #this is actually exactly like that episode of BTAS #where dick got that toxin that ham made him see shit everytime his adrenaline spiked #I’ve heard that it’s Bruce and not Bruce but i don’t care these writers need to get their shit together #wth is this #only props I’ll give is that dick beats the shit out of bruce for this #this is just … not okay #what #I can’t #just that one panel of Jason #… I’m scared … #like WTF #so Bruce basically gave Jason modified fear toxin permanently #jason todd #Bruce #Batman #red hood #dick grayson

Making my own post about this since I didn't want to derail someone else's but please... Quit giving your wheelchair users in fantasy a "not a wheelchair" mobility aid when it's clearly just a stand in for a wheelchair. It's kinda fake diversity and feels really shitty, you're erasing all the stuff that makes it a wheelchair and the character a wheelchair user. I'm talking about like "oh giant spider that can climb walls, oh trained bird that can take stairs and fly, oh flying carpet... Magic wheelchair that never has any issues and doesn't take energy to fly but floats around everywhere." All of the "oh it's a wheelchair but without any of the access issues, it's perfect!!' fuck that shit.

What you're telling people is "I don't believe disabled people could exist in this fantasy world. If they do exist, they're only able to because they can do everything an abled person can" and you're just kind of dragging and dropping a wheelchair into the narrative like it's a Picrew Diversity Accessory instead of like... An entirely different way of living. Except that you're not even dragging and dropping a wheelchair into the narrative, you're dragging and dropping and then taking the wheelchair back out and replacing it with something you find more aesthetic because despite insisting on using one in your novel, you don't even like wheelchairs.

So if paraplegic is affecting two limbs (the legs specifically)

And quadriplegic is affecting four limbs (legs and arms, etc)

Is affecting one limb a uniplegic?

Is affecting three limbs a triplegic?

This is some-what a joke and also somewhat not!

‘The point is not “is bftc good Jason characterization”’

Actually the point can be anything that the op of the post wants it to be. Oh you mean that is not your point. Um …. Cool. Nobody asked.

#*​provides canon proof of Jason absolutely traumatizing teens in canon* #/s #*the whopping two instances are titans tower and the Mia Dearden incident* #both of which happened around the same time as uth. effectively making Jason approximately … eighteen or nineteen. #while Mia was 17 and Tim was like 16. wow how could this seasoned old man be so cruel to these literal babies #this is coming from someone who cares deeply about how different authors’ visions for bruce can turn him into a male power fantasy #but according to this person that's technically all fanon because the authors are fans of Batman who write him how they want #<- a needlessly complicated way of saying it doesn’t matter that almost every writer has written Batman as a cop symbol #because they don’t agree with those authors’ visions it’s just bad characterization #not consistency #anyway back to how any Jason fan who doesn't ascribe to your flawless interpretation of these iffy events is actually missing the point #mhm okay ignored winick showing Jason desperately saving children like three times in lost days #and other authors later wrote him being good with kids too #oh but even if he had the same trait in post crisis and n52 these characterizations are actually irreconcilable because they said so #kelseethe #for someone who seemingly cares so much about numbers and patterns #they tend to skip a lot of important panels in their ‘analyses’ #like the panels in batman 650 where Jason mentioned the thousands joker killed and the friends he's crippled #and the lost days panels of him being upset about joker going on to hurt more families and fathers and sons #all this to claim Jason’s ultimatum in utrh was entirely self-centered #I guess it just goes to show how much evidence you have to ignore/disregard to come to the conclusion that Jason is a bad person #but yeah your vision is the be all & end all and anyone who thinks otherwise isn’t ~normal~

I remember seeing a “If JK Rowling Wrote Twilight” post and chuckling for .01 seconds before realizing that, technically, Rowling already wrote Twilight.

She just called it Lupin and Tonks.

#twilight #harry potter #lupin/tonks #remadora #cristina is silly #twilight saga #seriously guys it works #older supernaturally dangerous man with crippling self-loathing issues #with gifted quirky clumsy young woman who likes a shortened version of her name and nothing too ~girly #lupin also tried to leave tonks #and tormented by the thought of tonks having his werewolf baby #maybe edward just needed harry to verbally and physically bitch slap him into sense #at least edward didn’t leave bella during her pregnancy ouch #was order of the phoenix published before or after twilight? #either way both writers did it #maybe then the people that whine about how lupin/tonks came out of nowhere can shut up #this is harry’s story first and foremost. we are definitely not going to get the sizzling details #but the dynamic and tropes are almost the same
