You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side
#m/cc#mine#I tried extremely hard to word this nicely because I KNOW people don't mean bad and often even know there are unique challenges#and believe me I know the challenges of invisible disability too!!#I have invisible disabilities!#but as someone who has also been at least visibly 'off' since they were 10 I am SO SICK of invisible disabilities being hailed as like#a unique extra oppression that us lucky visibly disabled people don't have to deal with#there are challenges to invisible disabilities that visibly disabled people DON'T have to deal with!#but you need to understand that *the reverse is also true*#there are MASSIVE benefits to being able to lie about your disability for example#or not dealing with the overt ableism that comes with your disability being obvious to everyone#*I do not have the option to pretend I'm not disabled.* that is never an option I have#I walk weirdly. I use a mobility aid now. my speech and face are 'off.' I lean to one side#for a long time I wore sunglasses 24/7 and often didn't make sense. I sometimes can't speak or won't react to others#for the most part people will always know that at the very least something is wrong with me#and more obviously I have people telling me they'll pray for me; telling me I can't do things I'm already in the process of doing;#wanting to shake my hand to tell me I'm an inspiration for not killing myself; giving me dirty looks for existing in public#and yes. I'm aware that this is very much an in-community issue. I know the average abled person doesn't know invisible disabilities exist#that's why there's so much awareness happening for it#but as a visibly disabled person I get SO TIRED of constantly hearing 'I wish my disability was visible :'('#it's just 'I wish I had your disability!' but from other disabled people

New friend?
Unedited version + those funky text stuff that you may like to read properly below the cut:
First circle text:
You are who you always will be. Caged by pure definition and perception. Self is not absolute, never complete. As long as there is a you that is perceived by the other, you will never have a self that is completely yours.
Second circle text:
Once a saint always a saint. Once a monster always a monster. Convince as one might, they are eternally damned by title alone. If not the boy who cried wolf, or the flock themselves, the hands will serve as one's signature. One's reminder. There must be a god to allow them to never precieve one's self. We wonder... should one look into one's eyes, --should they dare,-- will one find a soul? Will one weep? Will one smile? Will one find the name they have been given? Or the name they have chosen for one's self?
Just a buncha words for Wally's whole mental state lol
#welcome home#welcome home wally#wally darling#welcome home au#welcome home hvh au#y/n#digital art#nomi arts#my art#i spend a lot longer just tryna edit all of this in canva than the actual drawing process#canva stop lagging and deleting all of my work challenge level impossible

How to get back into writing: a 5-steps guide
As someone who hasn't written anything in a decade, this is what I did to get back into writing seriously.
Identify which archetype of writer fits me better. You may have heard George R.R. Martin saying there are two types of writers: gardeners and architects. Whether you believe in that statement or not isn't relevant per se, but the actual meaning behind that point is that you need to get to know yourself as a writer, how you work, what you need, etc., so you can adapt your environment to achieve your goals. Speaking of which…Gentle reminder : you're a person not a robot. You are allowed to work the way you want to, and not to follow whatever pieces of advice that are linked to these archetypes.
Set a realistic word count/session I can stick to over the long term. When you're a 9-6 office employee, it's not always easy to find time to write and sometime our day at work got the very best of us. Having that in mind, I set my word count up to 200-500 words per session or 1 chapter per week (they're rather small in my case). Gentle reminder : babysteps are better than no-step at all.
If I'm not writing, fine, I'll do some research or anything else. Your story will always require something from you. When I'm not in the mood for writing, there are two options : forcing myself or doing what I call para-writing. For instance it's : reading articles or books about improving my writing style, improving my worldbuilding, drawing a map of my city etc. This are not things that would appear in the novel but it would guide me throughout the process the way a walking-stick would do for an injured man. Gentle reminder : you always find something useful to do but at the end of the day, you still have to write.
Have a general idea of what I want to tell. I won't lie, I've plotted my entire novel from the very beginning to the very end, which means I know exactly what to write and when. If you're against having a defined plot, I'm no one to judge, but having at least the key events or the major points will definitely help you. Like a lighthouse, it will help you navigate through the mists of confusion or hesitation. Gentle reminder : It's better to know where to go even if you end up losing yourself along the journey. Having the map doesn't mean you have to follow it, but rather when you can allow yourself to take a step to the side.
Write something I enjoy. A bit cliché I admit, but it's the best advice I could give. You'll spend hours, days, weeks - even years !- on that story so better buckle up to something you really want to write. Otherwise the risk is to abandon that hard-work you've done halfway through the process. No one needs that frustration and that self-doubting questionnings. No one. Not you. Not even me. Gentle reminder : it's okay to want readers and reviews but I promise you, your writing will be really different on something you trully want to share...Remember how pissful it was to write an essay for class you didn't want to ?

Ok and another thing!!
Phil’s slutty little hand behind the head is such a Dan pose! Phil doesn’t put a slutty little hand behind his head to add some slutty little dimensions and dynamism and movement and coquettishnesd to an already attractive photo. Dan does! Except now Phil does things like go platinum blonde on a random Wednesday and wear crop tops with pink lace and perk up his nipple for a selfie. So basically we’re all in danger
#(Sorry I was certifiably offline all day so I’m still processing this photo)#dan being slutty on main sometimes was enough of a challenge#Phil rising to the slutty occasion though??#uh oh!#dan and Phil#phan#phil lester#dan howell

VERY late entry for Ulysses Week's prompt "the divide". Lyrics are from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I have a project for fnv planned involving the whole song, but I couldn't get this concept for an alternate Ulysses thing for these lyrics out of my head. I love Ulysses and the divide very much. >24 hours of drawing on this one.
#fallout#fnv#fallout new vegas#ulysses fnv#ulysses fallout#ulyssesweek2023#courier six#kel#fanart#digital art#illustration#so my process for this was taking screenshots in my game and basically tracing them for the backgrounds. collage style sometimes#i think it turned out well but i will NOT be doing this for the main project. mostly bc of how long it took#also bc i felt like a dingus for tracing. nothing against tracing esp if its your own image. but i wanted to challenge myself more than tha#for composition and simplification of the details which i obviously did not do FNSVSMS#art#500#!!#1k#tee hee heeee

Trying my hand again at some digital art once again cuz I really wanted to draw Gem with her season 10 aesthetic :) I’m really excited to do some watercolor pieces of her base too!
Here’s a version with no fish:
#hermitcraft#hermitcraft season 10#geminitay#my art#this piece is also dedicated in part to my sibling who I managed to get hooked on gem’s videos :3#I want to play around with gem’s design at some point too it’s on my very long list of things to paint#I think her aesthetic this season will be a good challenge for me with dull colors and learning to paint buildings and water#also ma look at me doing digital art! I’m slowly getting more used to it and finding a process and style similar to my traditional one#this fish seem like a very psychedelic thing so I also want to experiment with that and I would love to do an animation with them

my abecedarians. my booboo bears. i beseech y'all for those scholarly article websites. my uni databases keep giving me results for articles that aren't available and, like a pirate with a helm on his crotch might say, it's driving me nuts
ABCDEFGHI KLMNOP RSTUVW Y

#and per se and#i'm trying to write a bitsy baby undergrad paper#on the process of book challenging/banning and the differences between the current surge & the past#notably not being argumentative. obviously i have opinions but that's not the point of the paper#ala.org and court documents give me all i really need. hashtag based humanities.#but i need three Scholarly Sources (i.e. peer reviewed)

jones the robot (+ alt versions)
#so this illustration was kept uncolored for a while since i was not up to rendering it. then saw a challenge where u mix a random palette->#together and put your device on grayscale mode then paint using those colors based on value#i tried doing that and what came out was hideous i still had to tweak the hues and apply filters to be less of an eyestrain#my art process just keeps getting weirder and weirder and i kind of like it that way but it's also really difficult to stay consistent#OK enough rambling. love this show lots#robot jones#draws#on another note i am opening commissions soon.. my financial situation has not been looking great for me

If the dragons could be de-dragon could you dragon the riders? 🤔 (mostly this ask is bc I wanted to say that I love your art and the human dragons are releasing all the best brain chemicals I have)
Listen I had the same exact thought and immediately started doodling but then i came to a very sad realization that I CANNOT DESIGN DRAGONS FOR THE LIFE OF ME
But for u anon I shall give u but a taste (also tysm I love and appreciate u)
Still designing hic cuz I just NEED it to feel correct yk 😭
#can u tell who is who#these r very rough + not final#purely based on vibes#designing anything that aren’t humans r more challenging for me but I enjoy the process 🥹#httyd#astrid hofferson#snotlout jorgenson#thorston twins#fishlegs ingerman#rtte
