#Punk!ed

[nihidea-art]

I spent some time today coming up with my Punk!Ed / MetalhEd's backstory. So of course I had to do a few sketches too! Here's some thoughts

15: he smokes only as a teen, he stops once he lives together with Alphonse. Well, maybe he'll occasionally have one when he's out drinking or something... 17: He gets the blood seal tattooed on his chest, above his heart, pretty much the minute he's emancipated. the octagram represents Protection, Balance, New Beginnings. When he wants to hide his automail, he wears leather gloves, or those gloves with the bones printed on them. 18: platform boots, obviously. 12: angsty pre-teen Ed drowning in guilt over getting Al hurt 21: he doesn't like it, but he can look almost professional if he has to.

I sketched Al too, I'll post him separately though. And if you're curious, I'm happy to talk about this some more 👀 So feel free to ask questions!

i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

my chronically ill best friend just said "I feel like the side effects part of a medication commercial" SO FUCKING TRUE BABE

Just in case anyone else needed to hear this today-

Your health is not your fault. You didn’t do anything to “deserve” this. And you are right, it isn’t fair. You are allowed to feel upset, hurt, angry and jealous that your health, body or mind disables you.

It’s not fair, and that sucks. You are allowed to scream about that as much as you need to.

Happy Edwin day 💖

[bbyteach]

Uhhh sooooo NYC 80’s punk scene AU where ed used to play in bands when younger but not anymore & runs a popular venue and is totally burned out on the scene. Until a blonde weirdo wearing pastels started coming to shows there and he had to understand what is going on with this guy?? And the guy wants to learn more about this world and Ed confused but ends up having more fun than he has in ages??

Back to post again. Please reblog this if you’re like. Disabled and do, might, are planning to ever have sex. Or just for educational reasons reblog it.

It’s time for:

DISABLED SEX EDUCATION.

So! Let’s get right into it.

We all know that we have a right to know and understand our bodies and how we can have safe, consenting, and pleasant sex. Most schools don’t teach disabled inclusive sex education!

Part One: Sex Toys

By and large, a bafflingly inaccessible market. But still, here’s what you can do.

For limited mobility and dexterity with hands and the like, larger controllers and wireless controllers for toys are good to look into.

If you have movement disorders, a toy that doesn’t need to be moved to stimulate can be helpful.

Also, a pretty universal one is a nice sexy vibrating pillow that you hump. It’s not talked about often because most abled people don’t want that toy when there are more penetrative or intense toys out there, but for cripples like us, it can be very helpful to know it exists, and it’s a good toy.

Part Two: Partner Communication

Whether this partner is your lifetime lover or just a one-night-stand, you need to be communicating properly about your needs and limits, just like abled people, but MORE. Communicate a safe word for if you feel in too much pain, communicate how your disabilities may affect sex with this partner if they aren’t aware, and communicate on the type and level of aftercare you may need. I know for a fact that I would need my partner to take me into the bathroom to pee after sex because I can’t do it of my own accord after that (also, speaking of, PEE AFTER SEX.)

No matter how small it is, communicate. “I’d be more comfortable if I had some pillows under my stomach/back/hips in this position.” “Can we switch positions, this is slightly painful on my hips/back/shoulders.” “I don’t like being pinned like this, because it’s a position I can’t escape from when I want to/it’s causing pressure on my joints/whatever else.”

Partner communication is a big deal with disabled sex and requires a decent level of trust. I also highly recommend that if you have access, being frank with your carers and occupational therapists for instance, will help you a lot with asking for advice in a safe way.

Part Three: Positioning

Ooh, sexy pose time!

From what I can find, these seem to be the most widely accessible poses for sex.

Modified Missionary.

The limited mobility partner sits on the edge of the bed, the other partner stands facing them, and then can lift their partners legs up so their ankles are on their shoulders. If the standing partner is too tall for this to be comfortable, you can place a chair behind them and have the sitting partner put their ankles there (add a blanket over the back of the chair for comfort on their ankles!)

This position is best used when only one person has a mobility issue. It’s also good for if one or both partners are obese, or if a partner is pregnant.

Facing position.

Aka: face to face. Person one sits in a chair, on the edge of the bed, or even in their wheelchair with arm rests removed if your chair can do that and you want to bang in your chair. Their partner sits on their lap and straddles them. Partner on top braces their feet on a solid surface to be able to move their hips and thrust, and the bottom partner can help by grabbing their partner by the backside and lifting/bouncing.

This position is good for two partners with limited mobility, and people who suffer with fatigue.

Intimate Sitting.

Basically the same as above but both partners are fully on the bed. The partner near the headboard can benefit from being held up with pillows, and then they stretch out their legs. The other partner straddles them, feet on the bed, and bends their knees to lower them down.

This is another position for a limited mobility and unlimited mobility couple, especially those looking for face to face intimacy.

Sexy Spooning.

Get into a spooning cuddle position and get freaky.

This is great for people with lower back pain, chronic pain, and arthritis.

Modified Doggystyle Chair.

Limited mobility person sits in a chair or wheelchair near the edge of the bed, their partner sits in their lap and leans forward to brace themselves on the edge of the bed with their upper body and arms.

Great for hip pain sufferers and of course those with mobility issues, though be aware that the person on the edge of the bed is taking more physical exertion.

Modified Doggystyle Bed.

Or the floor, if that’s more comfortable. Put some pillows on the bed/floor to support the bottom partner, and then the top partner drapes over them chest to back.

If you require more stability as the bottom partner this is for you.

69 Flipped.

One person laid on their side in the spooning position, and the other lays facing them in the same way, but with their head at the opposite end.

This is good for arthritis, or people who have weak hips or hips prone to muscle spasms. Also, unlike media might have you believe, 69 doesn’t have to be oral-oral. You can use toys, your hands, whatever, as long as you and your partner are having fun.

Final notes.

Don’t be afraid to explore each others bodies. Touch, massage, stroke each other and see how you feel. Places like necks, inner thighs, ears and sides can all be turn-on zones due to their extra sensitivity. Just… explore. Don’t try to take it too seriously either, sex is sexy, sure, but it’s also funny and sometimes you make a weird noise (verbally or otherwise!) and you can’t keep fucking for all the giggles you’re having.

Have fun, do it safely, remember that sex is cleaner with a packaged wiener, and PEE AFTER SEX FOR GODS SAKE.

I hate the look on able-bodied people's faces when you can't do a thing that you could do the day before. The look of disappointment, confusion, the "Oh but you could do it before. Are you SURE you can't do it?" Like yes, Brenda, I'm sure that I am in too much pain to function/move from my bed right now so going for a walk when I could move 50 feet yesterday without my cane IS too much.

you know when you're in a lot of pain

[nihidea-art]

His favourite band very much depends on his age, his music taste changes a bit with the years. Or not changes as much as it expands, as he finds more and more music he enjoys.

In his teen years where we mostly see him (~13-16) Rise Against and Disturbed are two of his favourites. He doesn't get into actual Metal until a little later (18ish), from there to Gothic and from there to EBM etc.

I made the executive decision as his creator that he really likes VNV Nation when he's older (because that's my favourite band), but for most of his youth, that wouldn't be harsh and angry enough for him.

Two of his long-term favourites that he's kept with him throughout the years are Linkin Park (though he prefers the older stuff), and Nine Inch Nails.

As for concerts--the first dozen or so concerts he goes to are just small local punk and alternative bands playing in small clubs and bars. He doesn't have money to spare for actual big concerts most of his youth. Once he does, the first real gig he goes to is Neaera, not because they're his favourite or anything, but they happened to be the first one touring near him that he could afford at the time. He does have a glorious mane for headbanging, and of course he enjoys a good moshpit.

cane users don't have to use their cane for every single step in order to be valid in their need for a cane. cane users can suddenly stop using their cane while moving around and not invalidate their need for it next time they use it. some cane users may only use their canes during flare ups. some only need their cane every few steps for short bursts. everyone's needs are different.

every cane user deserves respect.

you're allowed, love. you're allowed to hate that you can't do things. you're allowed to despise your own family for denying you anything. you're allowed to be spiteful and you're allowed to be irritable.

you didn't choose this.

and you're allowed to yell.

scream, love.

fucking scream.

I DESERVED MOBILITY AIDS.

I DESERVED HELP.

I DESERVED A BETTER COMMUNITY.

because you did, you did deserve those things.

you're ill.

[p0is0n-is-th3-cur3]

I wish disability aids weren’t always labeled as “for elderly” or “for seniors), I wish they weren’t all hospital depression grey, sanitary white and nurse scrub blue. I want black, red, pink, purple, yellow, green. I’m turning 15 in a couple days, not 75. Fuck even my 71 year old grandma would like fun colored aids. It’s so disheartening, I already see enough of those colors in doctors offices and hospital visits, I don’t want to see them at home too.

Non-hypermobile people will never know the pure joy that is being able to scratch literally anywhere on your back when it itches.
