#This is a fun thing to try and spell when dyslexic

[digimontamerrichie-tcg]

[markrosewater]

Hi Mark,

I bought the Magic Foundations starter set to show my dyslexic little sister who had never actually played a card game before how to play. It was a great experience. It is a cool boardgame-like design that made for fun gameplay.

I was surprised that she liked instants and kill spells the most; thank the designers who included that element if you can. She told me it reminded her of card game shows we’d watch as kids where there’d be dramatic reversals from walking into someone’s trap. I didn’t expect that aspect of the game to be so easily digestible and appealing to a new player, I personally like giant monsters, but it really resonated for her. She really liked the zombies and vampires decks. A stranger at a local lgs new to the game too even hopped in and had a close game with her. 

I will be playing with her again deeper into the holidays. She wants to try blue and black together and I’m getting a bunch of the war of the spark instants that make a zombie when they do their thing. I’ll be showing my other sister too.

Thanks for making a cool and easy way to show off magic to people. Also the Darksteel Colossus promo made me even happier with my purchase as an established player. 

Thanks for sharing. Glad she’s enjoying the game.

hers a billfold wip as a treat i changed his face bc i have free will

The art is to encourage you to read my silly little insanity (you should totally do it btw)

I'm dyslexic so sorry if anything is spelled grotesquely wrong lol autocorrect sometimes has no idea what i’m trying to spell

Starting with my head cannon because every thing will make more sense with it (or it wont that's entirely up to you) Imma try my best to make this enjoyable

So I head cannon both bill and ford as aspec this is important for the rest trust (I'm Aroace myself so some of my words are based of of experience ) being aroace doesn't mean you can't have a toxic one-sided relationship with a triangle

(most of this is pretty vanilla but I still wanna talk about it)

I believe it started of as a one-sided relationship on fords part (wow shocker) but it wasn't really love because he's ace it was more of infatuation (this stems from the fact he is a science boy and like ooo demon triangle thing) mistaken for love (I'm pretty sure this is common among aroace people or I just had an original experience) and maybe bill had just a little bit of the same feeling but instead of infatuation it was just pure obsession and when they had there little “tragic break up” and bill finally came to realize his obsession and it consumed him (idk i think that how abusive obsession is) and he realized he can’t live with out ford (i man he can but unhealthy obsession) and thus bills one sided relationship with ford where he just tries to get his puppet back but can’t figure out why he needs him so bad so he comes to the (subconscious) cuncultion there in love (because of course that’s the reasonable decision) and then you all know what comes after

I think bill has major will wood music vibes so I have nominated three songs of his for bill ford (cuz I'm genuinely going insane over them)

This is for fun and based off my head cannons

All of my discussions are made purely of the vibes the song gives me and how cool than animation in my head looks so take everything you know about these will wood songs and throw it out the window cuz none of that is relevant :3

i saw someone say “Will Wood songs can really be interpreted in different ways, and most of them seem like wisps of similar thought rather than a concrete narrative, so you're always a little bit right and wrong when you take a guess.” and i think you should keep that in mined

(I'm gonna embarrass myself so hard (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) )

I'm not gonna elaborate much but just trust me ok I put it kind of in chronological order

fords one sided relationship with bill: ...well, better than the alternative

Ok so this one is the least perfect out of all of them cuz it only half what I want (obviously this song is a stretch but hear me out) It's mostly for the like the last half of the song (remember what I said about throwing out the meaning for get that i lied) this song about the struggle ls of growing up and is a heartfelt plea to be understood and accepted for who we are (which obviously ford was a wired kid) and this kinda ties into the one-sided infatuation because it also is about the romanticism of nostalgic love, and the pressure of society telling you to find someone and "settle down" as we get older (witch yk aroace can’t really do that) so he’s grasping at the fact that he is enamored with this demon he just summoned (because science) so he can come up with this narrative in his head of how he is in love and can finally fit at least one of the societal boxes (idk it sounds like something to me probly ooc but I'm having fun)

bills one sided relationship with ford: ¡Aikido!

obsession with someone and how people often use coping mechanisms such as drugs to help with their feelings of uncertainty and helplessness. (yes this is copied not fully of a site this is tumblr not an english assignment) it also explores the idea that love and obsession can often manifest in neurotic and even pathological behavior.(oooo oooo look i’m so smart like staring the apocalyps) i’m not this cool this whole thing started with the first like whit h is “I apologize for playing with your eyes But I’m obsessed with you” witch reminded me of how bill used for as a puppet and then yk fords whole world came crashing down (this one explained its self more i have to do less mental gymnastics) and he’s like im sooo sorry i can’t live with out you

there whole relationship from the deal to the end of bill: Misanthrapologist ("In case I make it,"

Outtake)

ok this one is the one that mostly made of vibes because the song is about an unhappy codependent relationship through metaphors of christianity, nihilism, outer space, and mozart (witch only really encompasses a portion of the relationship) the song stars with “I wanna meet your make Shake him by his ensanguined damask lapel Holler "Look what you've done Gave this planet a sun And made a man to wonder if he's more than the sum of his cells"” which makes me personally think of obviously the deal fore made with bill and how bill stroked his ego all the way through there partnership um you can see where i goes from here just go listen to the song

ok this one’s off topic and only for my imaginary animation but the line “So how could I stand a chance, let alone dance With the way you sweep me off these two left feet?” just like imagine this with me it’s bill (human probably cuz i don’t work with the triangle) and young ford in the minedskape thing and its bill dipping ford and when it goes down it switches to bill and fort in bills pyramid thing with ford chained up do you see the vision ok I’m done now (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

[uhohwhathaveidone]

hii !! im guessing ur open for requests?? if so ..I saw a tiktok abt harry coming late in potion class one day and complained how dracos cologne stank the whole room, I was wondering if you can make the same however with sebastian as draco and (fem or gn)reader as harry I've read ur amortentia fic but I wanted to see this as a fanfiction :)) thank you ^^

I SAW THAT TOO like way to go Harry, you played yourself.

Caramel (S.S)

How do you say caramel? I'm actually dyslexic, so I don't have the slightest clue if the way I'm spelling it matches how I pronounce it, but my mother and I often make fun of each other for it. Seh says care a mel. Pretty sure that's how I'm spelling it in this too, but I say Car mel. Just a little snippet about me, I suppose. Anyway, these two have such an obvious pinning for each other, Ominis just enjoys it. Enoy <3

      “As I said before, I don’t think it’s wise to taste the potions you make, especially when you’re adding ingredients like stings to the mix!” You said, walking beside Garreth as you made your way to the potion’s classroom. The Gryffindor shook his head, smiling. “And I told you, it’s perfectly safe! It’ll taste just like the candy, honest.” You shook your head, sighing. “But if that was the case, wouldn’t it already be a product?” “Not necessarily! It’s entirely possible that they never thought of it.” “It’s even more possible that they tried the exact same thing you’re trying and found that it wouldn’t work.” You argued lightly, stepping into the classroom. You stopped partly inside, frowning as your nose burned, the scent of caramel filling your senses. You looked over to Garreth, pouting playfully as you narrowed your gaze. “Are you eating caramel candy, Garreth? Without sharing?” You asked, watching as the Weasley looked at you, confused. “No, why?”

      You bit your lip, looking around the room for the source of the scent. “I smell caramel, I figured you had some.” You said, slowly walking around, finding the scent follow you. You turned to Sebastian, who spoke with Ominis with a concerned face, eyes widening when you began to make your way over. “Sebastian, you usually carry caramel candy, do you have any on you?” You asked, leaning up against the potion table, smiling. Sebastian checked his pockets quickly, shaking his head as he furrowed his brows, freckled cheeks tinted with a light shade of pink. “Nothing on me, why?” You let out a frustrated sigh as you turned your head to Ominis. “Do you smell caramel? The room is thick with it.” Ominis smiled as he shook his head, shrugging his shoulders. You frowned, sniffing the air once more, a new scent mixing with the salted caramel. “Also smells like…a fire was just set? Garreth, have you already blown up a potion?”

      Garreth shook his head, hands raised to show that he hadn’t touched the cauldron yet. You sighed, grabbing Ominis and leading him over to his own potion table. “Ominis, do you know why the room smells an awful lot like Sebastian? Did he find a spell or something that just amplifies it?” You asked, frowning as the smile on Ominis’ lips grew. “No idea, perhaps you should ask him?” Ominis stated, quirking a brow. You quickly shook your head, sniffling as the smell only grew. “Ask him? What do you want me to do, walk up to him and go Hey Sebastian! Do you know why the classroom smells like you?” Ominis chuckled, shaking his head. “I wouldn’t ask like that; you already said it smelled like him.” You bit your lip, looking around the room. Sebastian avoided your gaze as he listened to Garreth, who had taken to telling Sebastian all about his candy potion.

      Sighing, you took a seat at your cauldron, shaking your head as you watched Professor Sharp as he sat at his desk, bubbling cauldron of his own sat before him. You peer over at Ominis, tapping his arm. He turned to you, the shadow of a smile still dancing on his lips. “Do you know what Sharp has in that cauldron?” You asked, taking another glance over at the professor. Ominis shrugged, biting back a smile as he forced a frown. “No idea, but I’m sure he’ll explain it when he starts the class.” You sighed, taking your book out and examining that chapter that you had left off on.

      A few moments later Sharp clapped his hands together, signaling the start of class. “You might notice a change in atmosphere today, if you haven’t already.” He started, glancing around the room. You narrowed your eyes as he continued. “Today, we are not making any potions. Rather, you are not allowed to learn how to make this potion, due to the dangers that surround it.” You frowned, glancing over to Garreth as he watched, starry-eyed as he looked over at the cauldron. You shook your head, turning back to Sharp as he continued to speak. “What I have at my desk is a love potion called Amortentia, one of the most powerful of its kind.” You felt your heart sink, trying to remember the passage you had read that talked about said potion. “This potion works even without being consumed, it's vapor filling your sense,” he glanced over at you, “allowing you to smell what attracts you the most.” You felt your cheeks flare up, eyes wide as you choked on air, silently suffering as you watched Ominis chuckle. Garreth smirked as he looked over at you, glancing over at Sebastian, who’s eyes widened as well, the tint of pink that had finally left his face coming back full force.

      Sharp continued the lesson, secretly enjoying the looks of horror that painted his students faces as they realized what they were smelling. “When consumed, the drinker becomes obsessed with the person, surpassing love completely.” He frowned, looking over his cauldron as he chose his next words. “If a child is conceived while under the influence of this potion, they will be unable to feel love or affection, leaving the child with a lack of compassion for anyone and anything.” He finished; his eyes dark. You frowned, who would trick someone into such a thing with a love potion? You shook your head, putting your book back into your bag, cheeks still warm as Sharp ended that class. You bid Ominis farewell as you quickly left the classroom, avoiding any and all eye contact.

      Sebastian walked over to Ominis, poking him in the side. “You knew, didn’t you?” He hissed, referring to their conversation before you arrived. Sebastian had walked into the room, immediately smelling you. He had walked to Ominis, asking if you had arrived before him, to which Ominis shook his head. That was when he began to smile, telling Sebastian that you weren’t in the classroom. “If they’re not here yet, why does the room smell like them?” Ominis shrugged, the smirk that tugged at his lips growing. “I’m not sure what you mean, Sebastian. No one else has mentioned it.” Ominis teased, crossing his arms. That was when you walked in, talking with Garreth before stopping and looking around confused. Sebastian didn’t want you to know that he had thought you were already there, based off what the classroom smelled like, and felt his cheeks heat up as he avoided your gaze.

      He had no choice but to meet your eyes when you walked up to him, his heart pounding as you leaned against the table next to him. You smiled sweetly at him, asking if he had any caramel candy.  A weird request to most, but you had often told him that he smelled like caramel, causing him to carry around the small treats in case you had a craving for its salty sweetness. He had quickly checked his pockets, frowning when he realized he didn’t bring any with him, shaking his head as he watched you deflate slightly. He watched with wide eyes as you turned to Ominis, asking if he smelt the caramel that filled the room, who shook his head as his smile grew wider. “The air is thick with it.” You said, frowning as you looked around. As if his heart could beat any faster, it did just that, Sebastian’s thoughts racing. He was experiencing the same thing, only it was your scent that was thick in the air. Confusion settled on his face as he watched you frown once again, mentioning that it began to smell like a fireplace as well. His face grew warmer, unsure if he should speak up, knowing that one night, you had told him that he had smelled like cinders and salted caramel, and now you were smelling it again.

      You had taken Ominis away, and Sebastian watched as you began whispering to Ominis, catching your eye for a split second. Sebastian had no choice but to listen to Garreth as he spoke about his new potion idea, not really paying him any mind as his words went in through one ear and out the other. He zoned out in that moment, thoughts continuing to roam as he tried to figure out the meaning behind what he was experiencing. It was only when Sharp began class that he had to quiet the thoughts and pay attention, glancing at the cauldron that sat on the professor’s desk.

      “Who’s to say that I knew?” Ominis said, bringing Sebastian back from his thoughts. He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “You were smiling as soon as I mentioned that the room smelled like Y/n!” “Did I? I must not have noticed.” “Don’t be cheeky, Ominis! Why didn’t you say something?” Ominis shrugged, smirking as he grabbed his belongings. “I found it rather fun, listening to you as you basically confessed that you had feelings for Y/n.” He began. “Imagine my amusement when they came in with Garreth, basically telling everyone about the caramel smell, the same smell you carry everywhere you go.” Sebastian scoffed; face hot as he shook his head. Ominis was right, however, being told by each of you that you had feelings for each other without even knowing it; oblivious to the other’s feelings. Sebastian breathed heavily, thoughts racing yet again as he tried to figure out what to do next.

      “You’re rather daft, you know that?” Ominis said, shaking his head as he began to walk out of the classroom. Sebastian quickly followed, frowning. “And what’s that supposed to mean, Sir Know-it-All?” He grumbled, sending a small glare at Ominis. He shrugged, nodding his head down the hall. “It means that you both fancy each other, so go talk to them! I won’t stand here and listen to you whine about not having the guts to ask them out on a date.” Sebastian groaned, silently cursing Ominis as he took a deep breath. “Fine, but if this goes sour, it’s on you.” “Can’t see it being on anyone else.”

      Sebastian wandered the halls, searching for you among the students. He cursed himself for taking too much time at the classroom, having seen you leaving as soon as you were dismissed. Imagine, you admitting that you were attracted to him, without knowing it, and him admitting that he was attracted to you. Surely Ominis had told you that Sebastian could smell you, you had talked for quite a while before class started. He shook his head, stressed as he continued to walk around. In an instant, you collided with him, yelping as you dropped you bag as watched as the books and parchment spilled from inside it. “Y/n! I’m sorry, I was preoccupied!” Sebastian exclaimed, helping you gather your items. You chuckled nervously, a small smile on your lips. “It’s fine, honest! I was a little distracted myself.” The two of you stood there for a moment in silence, unable to meet each other’s gaze.

      “So-“ You cut Sebastian off. “Well, you were there. Now you know, I suppose.” You blurted out, cheeks red as you looked at your feet. Sebastian nodded slightly, smiling as he scratched the back of his head. “Yeah. Caramel.” He breathed, chuckling. You huffed as you crossed your arms, frowning. “Are you here to tease me about it?” You asked, biting the inside of your cheek. Sebastian’s eyes widened as he shook his head frantically, placing a hand on your shoulder as he smiled. “No! I mean, well, did Ominis tell you?” “Tell me what?” “I could smell you in the room, even though you weren’t there!” You felt your chest swell as your heart beat faster, a small smile tugging at your lips. “So, we…smelled each other?” “That’s a weird way to say it, but I suppose so.” Sebastian responded, running a hand through his chocolate locks. You bit your lip, unsure what to do next. Sebastian took a breath, looking up at the grand ceiling above as he mustered up the guts that Ominis said he lacked. “Would you want to go to Hogsmeade? With me, of course. Like a-““Of course. A date to Hogsmeade sounds wonderful.” “Great, I wouldn’t know what to do if you had refused.”

Take a Deep Breath

Leon Kennedy X Dyslexic! Reader

You decided to put something together without help but struggle with the instructions the day escalates from there

A/N: So fun story, I have dyslexia, and a lot of times when I see neurodivergent reader, it's not really included so I said fuck it and wrote it myself. This is based on a general experience I've had with dyslexia. I tried my best to communicate what it feels like for me personally. Sorry, this is like really specific and I'm probably the only one who wants this.

You had decided it was a good idea to try to put together a nightstand while Leon was at work today. You had the day off and decided to do a few things around the house. Leon and you just moved into a new apartment and needed a new nightstand.

You open the box with some scissors and take out the instructions. You take out all the parts, as well as get the tools the paper told you to grab. A smile on your face as it seemed like this would be easier than you thought.

“Okay…” You're about a third step in, and you read the instructions…. You read it again… you read it one last time. “W-what?” You look at the picture and… it was no help. “Am I dumb?” You ask yourself slightly annoyed. You take a deep breath slightly annoyed before you start to read it out slowly. “Connect part C to part D… but how the hell…” It was so vague you weren’t sure how you were supposed to exactly attach them and the picture was absolutely no help whatsoever. That good mood was almost completely gone, but you were still determined to do this. It would be a nice surprise for Leon and maybe you could figure this out.

You needed a break so you were in the kitchen scrolling through your phone, you were beyond frustrated and started to get a little shouty with the instructions. It probably didn’t help that anytime you’ve ever built furniture it was with someone else. You wanted to slam your forehead against the countertop, but you get distracted by the sound of the front door opening.

“I’m home!” Leon calls when he notices you're right in the kitchen. He chuckles a little before you hug him tightly. "How was your day?" He asks softly as he hugs you back.

"Actually... I was hoping to get your help with something." You bring up to him.

"What is it?" He asks curiously as you guide him to your bedroom. He looked in and that answered his question.

"I... I need you to read this." You hand him the directions slightly embarrassed. He just takes the paper and reads the instructions out to you. You listen, think for a moment... and find you are still lost. Leon chuckles softly, and motions for you to watch him do it. You watch as he effortlessly puts together the last part you need to complete the nightstand.

Annoyance and embarrassment fills you as you realize how simple it was to finish the nightstand. Leon gives you a reassuring smile.

"It's alright," he attempts to assure you and kisses your forehead to make you forget your emotions on the matter and make you feel a bit better.

Leon makes the decision to go grocery shopping to distract you from the whole nightstand thing. You had written a list earlier in the day, and it seemed like a good idea.

However, as you're walking through the store and you ask Leon for the next item on the list, he's stumped.

"Leon?" You ask softly, and he looks to you.

"Um... sweetheart, what does this say?" He asks you showing you the paper and you honestly have no clue. You cannot tell what the hell you wrote on that paper.

"I have... no fucking clue." You say softly in shock as you take the paper from him trying your hardest to remember. Sometimes when you spelled things wrong you could remember what you were trying to say, this was not one of those times. You groan out annoyed, and want to hit something.

"Hey... are you okay?" He asks you softly.

"No! I fucking hate having dyslexia, it fucking sicks!" You stop and sigh out annoyed. "Sucks... I meant sucks..." A little defeated, you hang your head a bit.

"Come here, baby." He says softly pulling you into a hug. Embracing you tightly calming you down a bit. "Just take a deep breath..." He assures you gently.

"I'm sorry... it's just so frustrating sometimes..." You tried to explain, but it was annoying. You didn't hate your dyslexia, it was more complicated with that. You know on some level, you've grown used to your disability and you've learned to live with it. However, it still got in your way sometimes.

"I know..." He assures you gently, kissing your forehead. "This stuff happens sometimes, and that's okay. Don't beat yourself up about it okay?" You nod gently embracing him tightly.

"Thanks, Leon..." You smile looking up at you fondly.

"It's no problem love... now, let's try to figure out what's on this list." He jokes getting a chuckle and a smile from you finally.

[recklesslycaffeinated]

hey i was wanting to write a fan fic but i haven't done one in years (it was BAD) i was wondering if you could give me a tip or two (I've also never posted anything on ao3 before just a heads up)

Confession time - this question is more than year old now.

I hang my head in shame.

The problem is, even after over 180,000 words written across three fanfics, I still feel like I'm not... qualified? To give any good advice. At least, nothing you wouldn't pick up from reading a metric ton of fanfic on A03 like I did before starting.

That being said, I'm feeling really, really guilty for not answering @arsonunderthedisco's question for so long, so here we go.

First of all, no fanfic is BAD.

I'm not sure what you thought was bad about it - but I've written more than a dozen fanfics which are just for me and they're delightful messy insert fanfics which I adore.

That being said, you'll be amazed at the readership of A03. So long as you tag your story correctly, you'll find your people. I did!

Writing

If you're talking about spelling/grammar/structure, welcome to the club. As any of my readers will tell you, my Dyslexic ass lets more than a few horrendous typos go out. I've started using Speechify to catch some of these mistakes and I 10/10 recommend it.

Conflict

Figure out the overarching, key conflict of your story you want to resolve by the end. That can be for all the characters or some of the characters. E.g. Nurse isn't brave enough to admit she loves the boys and truly commit to what that means. She has to either admit she loves them and dive in, accepting her life will never be normal, or walk away.

Each chapter set up a smaller goal or a desire of the character and by the end of the chapter, resolve or advance it. Bonus points if you can leave every chapter on a minor cliffhanger. E.g. Nurse wants to go to the funeral to pay respects to Sig and deal with her guilt. She does that (yay!), but gets into a row with Sans and now she has new guilt (boo).

Structure

Always have an outline. Even if you're a gardener who likes to let their characters dictate the story, HAVE AN OUTLINE. Or else you'll never know when the story you're trying to tell is finished.

That's why I broke up the boney brigade saga into different stories - I knew where I wanted the Nurse to be by the end of each section and it made more sense to turn them into two stories so it 'feels' complete.

Have fun!

If you're having fun writing it, your readers will know and be along for the write. Don't write drunk. Don't publish chapters when stressed. Don't write sad. Write sad things, but don't write sad. At least, don't send it out while sad before doing a re-edit.

Hope any of that helps and sorry it's taken me so damn long!

[sweetlikehoneystingslikeabee]

can we get the rogues party finding out their s/o is dyslexic?

Rogues Party with Dyslexic S/O

Okay! These are shorter given the subject. I do not have dyslexia, so if I make mistakes, let me know so I can learn/fix.

TW: none

Riddler

His partner asks him one too many times how to spell something. It's not a problem! Not at all, he gets to show off- But he does end up asking and it comes about.

Unfortunately he has to come to terms with the fact they probably didn't tell him out of fear he would equate it with low intelligence. He will quickly remedy that. Their brain just works a little differently, is all!

If theres a machine or device he can make to help, he's doing it. Just say the word and it'll be done.

Penguin

He first notices because his love tends to avoid certain work, instead having a device read aloud for them as they try their best to focus on it. One of the goons makes a side comment about it and brings it to Oswalds' attention.

He asks plainly if it's because of a need or simply to make things easier. When they tell him why they use it, he buys them a special scanning pen for dyslexia. The best on the market, gift wrapped for them.

Anything else? You just need to ask.

Mad Hatter

Honestly, no matter how he finds out about it, he takes it as an excuse to read books aloud to his partner. He'll read out loud whatever you want, really, but now you can both enjoy an intimate Alice in Wonderland reading together.

Scarecrow

He has an idea but chooses to let his s/o confirm it.

He's pretty neutral about it. If they ask him why, he'll state how common it is. That doesn't make it not important, but it's not something that changes how he perceives you or how he would treat you. He'll support you how you need him to.

Victor Zsasz

Literally doesn't notice until he's told. Doesn't care much after. Unless it's effecting you in a way he can assist, he doesn't think about it.

Killer Croc

Look, he finished high school later in life, so he was definitely behind education wise. While he doesn't have dyslexia himself, he relates since dyslexia can have that effect.

Fuck anybody giving you problems about it, okay? Anyone tries to make them feel bad for issues they might have, he's there to back them up.

Harley Quinn

She first notices when her s/o is having trouble telling left from right, a common symptom. That along with other things shes noticed, it all clicks.

Why didn't you tell her, lollipop? She wouldn't have judged them! Maybe you just didn't think it was a big deal. She hopes that's it. She'd be a little hurt if you intentionally thought she'd be a jerk about it.

Poison Ivy

They trip over a word several times and Pamela tries to help by showing them the word on her phone. Its then and there they tell her how they're dyslexic. Ah.

It's not likely to come up often unless she notices you mispronouncing something or misspelling. Then it's a polite correction if it's the two of you. Better here in private than someone getting fresh later.

Two-Face

Harv is in the camp of "I only care if you do" while Harvey wants to be as accommodating as possible. Do you know the wonders of... 🌟graphic organizers?🌟

Genuinely, Harv just doesn't want to make it weird for you. He knows what it's like when people hyperanalyze a way you're different from them and make it awkward. None of that for you if he can help it.

Harvey is a giant nerd and a problem solver so he's going to be making new solutions you've never even thought of.

Black Mask

It comes out when he makes fun of them for reading slowly. "What, you need help or something?" And is going to feel like the biggest fucking asshole when they tell him. As he deserves.

He makes up for it by being especially defensive against anyone else. Yeah, they need to take their time, you got a problem? There's at least one bullet in his jacket that'll solve that for you!

Mr. Freeze

At first it begins out of irritation as they forgot an important date. Again. It seems to be a frequent issue but considering he himself is timely and never forgets a date of theirs...

it all comes out at once and immediately makes sense. He apologizes for being too harsh or cold. Now that he knows it's not a lack of trying, he's going to be as helpful as possible wherever they might need it.

Ras al Ghul

Noticed almost immediately based upon a variety of symptoms but never says anything until they bring it up. Its their business and news. He has all the time in the world for them to tell him.

There's quite frankly a lot of his home that wouldn't be the most accessible for someone with dyslexia. It's hard enough reading in a language you know, try reading instructions for a dead language and then trying to explain it!

He will, however, do his best to make sure in his home, his beloved is doing alright.

Bane

Like scarecrow, he knows the signs and has his suspicions but decides to not say anything. One, what if he's incorrect/his s/o isn't diagnosed and he just makes them self conscious? Two, he figures if they want him to know, he'll know. His own trust issues in the past has caused him to keep things until he felt ready. He understands.

He has no problem being something of a "translator" when needed. You don't give him guff when he makes the occasional mistakes in English, he's not going to give you any because of brain mix ups.

[narcisseart]

More my durge things before parasite, cause i need to yell, all under the cut, probably bad grammar and bad spelling as always cause i am dyslexic and i typed it fast to vent it out:

she's very stoic and very serious like 90% of the time, that 10% is reserved for when someone does something stupid infront of her, or says something, fucks up. example: someone trips over a rock at moonrise: she becomes a derraged bully and they wont ever live it down, and when she laughs its fucking LOUD.

she eats, A FUCK TON, she can just knock back so much food, and she NEEDS it, cause shes always in survival mode, her body just CRAVES food. She prefers meats and breads, not a big fan of sweets.

She's 5ft2 ( i need to do a heigh alignement thingy with her family and lovers) but she has 15 str so she can toss a vampire lord about when he tries to kick her out of the soiree.

She has manners befitting a princess, like, she knows all the things she needs to know about etiquette, her REAL father instilled it upon her. 'little Duchess'

Gortash and her met at the house of hope when they were like 10. He was in chains, and she only called him 'wretch', she was in glamour and spoiled rotten by raphael, he called her 'little duchess.' She gave him his chin scar when they first met, because she asked if he wanted to die today, cut his face, when he said 'yes' she didnt want to do it anymore, so instead used to read books from the library to him, and throw rocks a him for fun.

She's the product of mephistopheles and bhaal, the great wizard molikoth had a fixation when taking a break from studiying the styx and hellfire, he wanted to know why mortals wanted so make contracts all the time to save their motal loved ones, so he wanted a mortal daughter, so made a deal with Bhaal. She was born to two drow parents who tried their best to conceal her true nature, cut off her wings before they grew, filed down her horns, cut off her tail. So she murdered them, and meph found her and took her in to raise - he grew REAL attached, and he didnt have a temper tantrum once while she was around ( he was actual a good dad hehehehehe) but raphael saw a way to win the war by taking her away through manipulation bit by bit, till she left for the matrial plane, and bhaal begin speaking to her personally. meph then had a tantrum for 2 years straight.

rewards Fel by killing him

really interested in anatomy, like, will go to town autopsying living people to see how they work. ( her epilogue is that she becomes a chirugeon/midwife in waterdeep and continues to try and study the humanoids body )

Gortash is the only person to have sex with her and not die.

I love you topical song lyrics as fic and/or chapter titles

I love you songfics that are half pre-existing lyrics in italics

I love you meandering plots that don't know what needs to stay and what's okay to go so they end up sounding as much like some chimera of diary entries and stream of consciousness as a story

I love you chapters that just end because the author hit the word goal

I love you five hundred chapter fics that span decades because the author keeps finding new Situations to put those poor boys(gender inclusive) in

I love you author asides to the audience mid-scene about how silly the fic is or how they just don't feel like writing this part and are skipping it or to have an argument with the character about the plot. I love you fics that just shrug and go "I don't know Japan, so this is all wrong, but you're probably an American too reader so shut up."

I love you blatant callouts of canon's flaws and plots scripted out of spite to prove how this potential concept *should've* been done

I love you awkward smut. I love you awkward lack of smut. I love you bashfully smashing barbies together before the author confesses they're ace and don't really get it. I love you author that understands it way too well and is having so much fun servicing exclusively themself

I love you ashamed author notes about how the chapter didn't come together the way they wanted on some of the best writing I ever seen in my life. I love you ashamed author notes where the author is entirely correct on their lack of skill and I love those fics too.

I love you spelling/grammar mistakes that let you know why the person is having trouble with english. I love you fics by dyslexics who are pushing through and writing anyway. I love you typoes that touchscreens tend to cause and typoes physical keyboards tend to cause and typoes speech-to-text ais tend to make. I love you six page chapters with only two paragraph breaks and three periods. I love you comma chains and semi-colon abuse and allergies to the shift key.

I love you No Beta We Die Like <Noteable Character Death>. I love you best No Beta We Die Like My Respect For Canon.

I love you in-universe typoes the characters do as a form of character expression. I love you phonetically correct misspellings to show accents. I love you things that seem like mistakes but are actually dialects or english-adjacent languages.

I love you mistranslated idioms and inconsistent pronouns because the author's native language doesn't gender pronouns and other weird quirks of grammar that give away an author's mothertongue. I love you for writing it in english or at all anyway even though it's embarassing and people can be mean.

I love you fics that include sign language references. I love you fics where the author knows the sign language; I love you fics where the author is semi-educated on the language but sorta fumbles showing it; I love you fics where the author doesn't even try and just goes "the characters know, fill in the blanks yourself if you're so smart."

I love you ten chapter fic that last updated in 2019. I love you 68/70 chapter fic that will never finish.

I love you cringe self-insert OC; I hope they gave the author what they needed when they write themselves into the story

I love you folktales. I love you stealing back characters from Official Canon. I love you OOC.

I love you AO3. I love you tumblr. I love you wattpad. (I never loved you fanfiction.net :-p but I don't hold it against your authorbase who I love very much.)

I loved you livejournal and geocities and angelfire and old shipping websites on someone's parent's work server only accessible through webrings. I loved you so much usenet rpg, even if I cannot love discord.

I love you. I love you *for* everything you're ashamed of. I don't think you should be ashamed for any of it, but I love your ambition to improve. Please let it improve you not silence you, okay?

I. Love. You.

Please infodump at me about dyslexia and its assorted related disorders.

Okay, so right off the bat, a disclaimer: I personally am not dyslexic. I do have ADHD, but I haven't personally struggled with dyslexia, dysgraphia, etc.

My partner (M, 30) was diagnosed young, like pre-k or kindergarten. Writing his name was a huge struggle and he often spelled it in a way that looked like a different name. His mother also has dyslexia and was able to get him help via Special Education programs, which he DESPISED.

Eventually even with help, he was barely able to finish homework and began to refuse to do it. Teachers at his school were very cruel to him, often calling him stupid, lazy, "not applying himself", etc.

Physical activities came naturally to him. He excelled in art, woodshop, ceramics, and karate. Reading anything, for class or for fun, stopped and when he had to read aloud, was humiliating. Teachers sometimes forced him to read aloud more often, hoping to humble him into working harder. When his grades declined sharply, he stopped trying all together and ended up falling into using drugs and alcohol at only 11 years old. When he finally graduated high school, it was by the skin of his teeth and really only was pushed through because of a flaw with the schools budget, which he then blackmailed the school with. Not really his proudest moment, but it happened. Obviously, the majority of his issues came from the school system failing him. Teachers were ill-prepared to deal with his learning disability, or outright vicious, basically weaponized incompetence.

When we met, I was in school for Early Childhood Education (which I didn't end up completing, teaching has rather lost its luster for me) and I noticed how embarrassed he was when attempting to sign his name or write pretty much anything. I asked if he'd be willing to let me help him practice, and eventually, he did.

As a 23 year old, re-learning how to write was really embarrassing for him, but I was patient and didn't criticize. I helped him find a place where he could laugh at himself and his spelling mistakes, not feel shame in it. We literally got a handwriting book from the dollar tree, and I dotted together the alphabet so he could trace it over and over. He still won't be doing calligraphy anytime soon, but his writing is legible now, and that's what matters.

He's failed out of a lot of college programs. He ends up taking on too much and is put on probation, then on academic suspension. He then appeals it, and the cycle starts again. His latest run is the most successful; CNC Engineering. He works with his hands and with computer programs. One of the things that has helped so much is having a study partner. He really struggles with reading comprehension, and when the letters constantly seem to move or change, it's even harder. When he has chapters to read for class, he will often have me read with him or sometimes to him, so he can visualize the material instead of concentrating so hard on what each word means.

He's also started reading for fun, which is a HUGE step for him. He loves Star Wars, and I had a set of junior novels about Anakin Skywalker as a padawan, which I offered to him. They're short, less condensed than a regular novel, and align with his interests, so it made for a much more enjoyable experience. He reads every night before bed now!

Generally, something like an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) will be figured out for grade/high school, but when you are in college, that no longer applies. However, most colleges will have a department that can help with accommodations needed for classes. This can include an array of options, from tutoring and extensions to large-print textbooks or audio-visual adaptive equipment.

Side note to wrap this up, people often shit all over Comic Sans as a font, but the stylization actually can make it much easier for people with dyslexia to absorb! I encourage my partner to use comic sans when writing a paper, so he can find mistakes easier and then selecting a new font when he's finished.

Basically, patience and encouragement is key.

OMG i’ve been at work and when i got home a immediately went to read the new chapter and i was so good! i was one of the ones that asked about regulus and i’m so glad my baby is doing better now and remus not realizing that sirius asked him to keep an eye on reader was so cute i loved it.

also i’m not one to like reading quidditch chapters but i always love reading yours they’re so exiting and not strung out and the parallels of the water spirit and regulus for his chapter chefs kiss (i’m considering this reggie’s chapter bc he’s baby girl) i loved it.

over all gc is a beautiful story and i’m so excited to reread it when it’s finished you’re a great author and potray the character in such a lovely way thanks for sharing your story with us.

-🦇

ps i’m sorry for spelling/grammar errors i’m dyslexic as hell.

Whaaaaaaaat? dyslexic high-five ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ )v

I'm also dyslexic, mine is a little mild but for the life of me, words that are similar? Those are literally my Achilles' heel. And accents in Spanish? I always switch their places lol.

This is DEFINITELY Reggie's chapter, I wrote the entire thing with him in mind and even if it dragged out a little (12 k words I mean Jeeez!), I knew it all had to happen in one chapter (the game against the Slytherins and the scene where they have the very necessary conversation) because it really was meant to be Reggies moment to shine through.

Baby Remus was really struggling not to think of the way Sirius' hands felt around his own while Sirius chattered on and on and on and he just tuned him out to try and focus, they're so dumb and in love, I'm smitten with the two of them.

I've gotten a few compliments on my quidditch chapters and they make me so happy because believe me, it's certainly something to unravel all the thoughts and scenes I'm seeing in my head and then finding the right words to portray them on text, I mean how many times can I use "plummeted" in one chapter hehe ໒꒰ྀི ∩ ⸝⸝ ∩ ꒱ྀིა

So it definitely thrills me when you guys say you like them because even though it's a challenge, I find them really freaking fun and I love writing them, flying is just so much fun you know? Even if it's just in my head.

Aaaaaah!!! you're planning to reread it when it's done? That's so sweet, imma end up crying like a baby (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)

You are super lovely my dear 🦇 annon, thank you for your kind comments, hope you have the loveliest of days ☆૮꒰•༝ •。꒱ა

[not-a-robin]

Into/Explanation/Boundaries post!

Character info:

So for starters this is the side blog/counterpart to my oc Alexandra Catherine Todd-Wayne (or just Alex), (@notquiterobin) and their vigilante person/alias Corvid

She’s a Non-Batman-Approved Vigilante that generally hangs around the East End and Alleytown in Gotham

She aspired to be Robin when she was younger, but after her brother Jason’s death became a bit resistant to the moniker, She is now a non-Batman-approved vigilante named Corvid (as a lot of corvids are preditors of robins, plus it’s the name I usually use online/lh)

She generally has similar goals to the robins (improving Gotham, keeping down crime, and generally keeping people safe, especially in poorer areas of Gotham)

Generally keeps the non-killing rule as Corvid but is a more willing and ready to use force then the rest of the bats

She hasn’t told the rest of the batfamily or anyone else about what she does as Corvid, namely because of the restrictions that would add, along with the added worry (I think at some point it would be a fun plot to have at least one of them find out though)

Now for the more fun stuff, character apperance and vigilante outfit (a ton of this is inspired by clothes that I like at wear):

A lot of her gear and outfits are unknowingly funded by Bruce, he just has so much money that if you occasionally take a bit, he won’t notice it

She wears a black mask to cover her lower face and keep it hidden, under the mask the distinctive scar on her left cheek is sometimes left visible though

Keeps up the bat legacy of eyeliner, has a few piercings (namely both lower lobe piercings, a nose piercing, a bridge, and a helix, again everything but the bridge is based on my piercings, I would get a bridge if I had the anatomy for it but sadly I don’t.)

Giving each of my blogs characters a song so Corvids is:

Cw: for that song though there are mentions of and it is about rape so just keep that in mind if you decide to listen to it

Ok actual outfit time:

-again the black mask covering her lower face,

-black boots with a slight heel and laces (there’s a zipper on the side though to make them easier to take on and off) < me projecting my impaired fine motor skills,

-black pants similar to cargos (so pockets on the sides of each leg, along with back and front pockets),

-a black sleeveless turtleneck,

-one of those sweater less sleeve things? They’re hard to describe but it’s in the picrew I used to make my pfp (baby carrot art on picrew) that only cover shoulders and arms, I think it would be made of something other then cotton though, some kind of more durable fabric,

-black fingerless gloves

-Always wears her hair up, particularly in one braid or in two small buns, keeps her bangs out of the way with various hair clips

-a silver locket tucked under her shirt, it’s one given to her by Bruce at a young age with a family photo inside, she just couldn’t bring herself to take it off

Some more general apperance/characterization:

16 | 5,1 | blue eyes | long and curly black hair | human | Demigirl | ace bisexual | she’s got a few scars but namely the one on her left cheek mostly hidden by the mask

Boundaries section:

Dni’s:

- Homophobes

- Racists

- Transphobes

- Ableist’s (I’m disabled, we know when you’re being ablest.)

- Zionists

- General conservatives

- BATCEST. (I do not care how you try to rationalize it, I don’t want to see any Dick/Jason, Bruce/any of his children, Alfred/any of his grandkids. Any Dick/Tim, Jason/Tim, or Damian/Tim. Just no batcest okay?

- I’m dyslexic, if you find spelling mistakes please just ignore them unless they completely change the meaning of the scentence, autocorrect can’t catch everything

About me:

I got by primarily They/Them pronouns, I’m an aroace (maybe oriented? Let’s just say questioning/lh) Non-Binary teenager,

and I am a minor so please keep that in mind (I’m fine with any ages on here just keep it in mind that I’m under 18),

I’m disabled (not gonna put out my whole medical history but shortly put: chronic pain, t1d, autism & adhd, c!ptsd, dyslexia)

I’m a pretty longtime DC lover (on and off since I was 5), mostly Batman and Batman adjacent stuff, hellblazer, green arrow, young justice, and teen titans

Al Ghul lover, seriously I love them sm

Very into music (specifically Hole, Nirvana, Babes in Toyland, Big theif, Fiona apple, Mcr, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Bandhees, The cure, Ghost, Green Day, Alex G, and Elliott Smith)

^ also if you think Courtney killed Kurt fuck off, seriously I’m not going to argue with you, either don’t bring it up or just go away

I also didn’t mention this on my other blog but I am colorblind, it probably won’t come up it just makes it hard for me to read some blogs (hence why my stuff is grey and not black, if I could read purple on black I’d do it)

Closing stuff:

Absolutely feel free to interact with this weather in character or not, I’d love any questions or asks it just may sometimes take me a second to get used to them

Screen Reader Users

I want to inform you all that lately in my content you saw me edit things and such, for the images in the "Image Description" to all have something said about them! I am trying to be able to make it so all my content can be enjoyed by all the users here. For anyone using a screen reader, it is difficult for these people to use sites. I think Tumblr is wonderful for allowing that feature to exist so that you can add an Alt to an image so that you can know what the image is all about and get in touch with the community. I am an artist myself, and when creating art I won't exactly be able to convey emotions and ideas in a visual way to those types of people. And for art is pleasing visually, you can make art pleasing with writing. Music to your ears. People should be utilizing this tool to be helpful to the screen-reader users. And even if you're not a writer, you can still describe the simplest of things with the most simple of writing. If you can make happiness in someone, even in the simple things, it's still better than nothing.

I also don't see this commonly online but please when writing posts, before posting them, please double, triple, and maybe even quadruple-check your grammar, spelling, and general writing. For screen readers, it is hard to understand bad language that has trouble conveying what it wants to say, and also the people who are trying to listen to the audio, it is hard to understand what it's all saying. And not only for people who use screen readers, better grammar, spelling, and writing help other people too, like dyslexic people already have problems reading normal text, and having it be bad makes it even harder. Also if you're a general person who is busy and can't look at their phone, it's still hard for people to understand bad writing. Even I, a writer who has encountered multiple awful fanfiction writings across the internet (My Immortal for example), still have a hard sometimes being understood.

I just want to say, try to be inclusive in your content and help people enjoy even the smallest things in life. Maybe it's just social media, but the simplest of efforts can make someone feel happy.

Have fun, everyone!

[rungalwaysheretolisten]

So I’m going to probably delete this later. But I thought I would put my thoughts about AI kill Rp in real life. This isnt me against Rp AI. I myself like to play and find myself using these apps a lot.

This is just my thoughts about it. Nothing negative or positive. Just thoughts. Both understand the pro and cons of this new technology, and how things are changing.

Let start off with why so many people like playing with these apps, and doing role-playing on these apps. Or what I’m going to call are the pros.

The pros to this is one, no judgment in your grammar. These apps do not judge if you spell things incorrect in fact, they don’t care if you’re not very good at writing at all all it cares about are the specific words you put into the program, and then it generates a response. no judge maleness, it just knows a bit of what you’re trying to say is it perfect no but again it’s not an actual human being, writing it and as a person with dyslexia, it makes me feel a little more confident. for years, I always stress out about Rp with real people. With my disability, it’s sometimes hard to explain to people that my grammar is bad because I’m dyslexic and yes, sometimes I can use apps like talking to it but talking and writing grammar are two different things. I can talk to, but I will not understand how I’m supposed to Grammarly make the word look right.

This would upset some people, or even those who were not kind and understanding, piss them off to the point where they would bully me. This might get personal because again I am a person with the dyslexia and this is a disability that people don’t really understand because it’s not something you can see but are used to constantly have to stress out who I was going to Rp with, and who were friendly with people with dyslexia. That is why I also put on my blog that I’m dyslexic, but doing these AI. I’ve never had to explain that to a machine I just get to be myself no correcting my grammar no stressing about that just having fun writing a story and I can see why so many people like this app because of that reason and it’s probably a major reason why people go to these apps.

Another reason you can do almost anything with these apps yes, there are some limits like the grammar issues with them or that they might mistake some of the writing or forget what was written a couple of hours ago but if you put keywords and reminders, they can remember some details And you never have to stress out about finishing rp.  It’s always there and you can always go back to it when you’re ready.  if you hyper fixate on one Pacific thing and then suddenly you’re hyper fixating on something else it’s OK because you still have a safe file to go back to it later if you want to versus Rp with a person it can seem rude, or even disrespectful to stop the Rp. unlike humans these AI’s are patient as well as not really caring if you finish the Rp or not. Doesn’t feel like they did something wrong or guilty. It’ll be there when you’re ready something that different and kind of nice.

Finally, there only for your own eyes to see. Meaning you didn’t reblog it on your blog to get judged only you can open your phone, computer, and see you Rp. You can create stories and no one has to see them if you wanna show them you can but mostly no one can really see the rps.  so there’s no one to judge your grammar or to cringe of the writing you did only you get to see that and you can only feel cringe if you don’t like it, but the beautiful thing is you can also delete it and not have to look at it ever again it’s kind of therapeutic that you can write things and then delete them later, yes the programming might remember some of the writing that you did, and might use it for helping out other rps, but still, it was your own writing, and it can be very therapeutic. It doesn’t have to be rp it could be simply a rant to a computer and to something you can vent or be creative to help heal your heart or make you feel a little less stress.

Of course there are and one of the big ones for me is I don’t get to make friends AI is not a place where you get to actually talk to it as if it’s a real friend sure it talks and generates ideas and stuff but it’s not the same as saying, it has the same hobbies as you or actually feels real Like a real human being is writing their own thoughts and ideas maybe in the future it might do that, but for now it’s not capable of doing that.

Another con is that sometimes you have to correct it a lot sometimes you have to delete or even write what you’re wanting it to write for you the pro of this is you get to do that versus a human who might not want to change the plot or make it work for your own benefit but it’s still feels tiring because then you’re just writing to yourself and not really experiencing the rp but rather you’re writing your own story, which is way different then rp. Finally sometimes it can get boring, and things can repeat several times or frustrating even because again it is a machine, not a human being. You can’t have a conversation to tell it to do the thing that you wanted to. Do you have to type it up yourself and that can be frustrating.

With all this said, it’s still has dominated rp and that is why I feel it is destroyed rp in real life because the pros outweigh the cons and because there is no judgmental Ness which is the biggest thing that draws people to it and a person with Disability for me it draws me into it a lot because these communities can be judgmental but an AI is just doing what it’s programmed to do. It hasn’t been programmed yet to judgment you you might think, it’s judging you but it’s more of the lines of accepting what you like and wanting to please you which can be kind of scary because then it’s always trying to pleaseyou and that could be later down the road with more technology growing kind of scary but again the pros outweigh the cons people like the AI more than regular Rp or at least I feel that is the case and maybe we could do an experiment. and what I mean is I would like to put out a pole sometime to ask you all if you are more comfortable Rp with an AI versus a human being.

 I think it’d be very educational and hypothesis is this that’ll probably be a big chunk of people saying yes they do feel more comfortable Rp with an AI then with RP people because the pros outweigh the cons.

So yeah, that’s just my thoughts on it. I hope this wasn’t too long for you guys to read but I thought I would just put out my thoughts about this.

Trick or treat!!!!!!! - @maddstermind

You've got a treat!

Here's a chat scene from Route LXVI. I had to ultimately put it aside because it was not progressing the plot in an already slow chapter, but it was fun to write, and it worked as a great character study. Plus, it marks the beginning of Liv's worst lie~~

The layout is a bit weird because I normally write my chats adjusted to the left or right according to who is talking. Here in Tumblr it's a bit different. Bear with me. There it goes:

You:

Hey remember this convo from the neolitic era

Image

Image

Image

Highzs🎱:

LMAOOO where did you find this?

You:

Image

Image

Got them by digging in ancient discord convos

Highzs🎱:

Damn I didn't know grammar

That youre is killing me

You:

Aw I think you were trying to spell cool

like pot8os

Highzs🎱:

pot8os I'm deceased

You:

When you used to write everything wrong on purpose

Highzs🎱:

to mess up with you

so you wouldn't know when I actually spelt something incorrectly due to me being an idiot

You:

being dyslexic is not cinamons with being and idiot

Highzs🎱:

Synonyms*

You:

I did it on purpose!

Highzs 🎱

You are missing an n too

You:

I don't rely on the autoccorrect

Highzs 🎱

Such a helpful tool, though

Could have saved me some misunderstandings

You:

Highzs🎱:

As that written statement proves

We made a promise for a 50/50

Anytime one of us confesses, the other has to do so

You:

Yeah ._. but I wanted to talk about the present, not the past

Highzs🎱:

The present? Weren't you with Percy?

You:

Uhm I could be poly

Highzs🎱:

Alright, intriguing

But first things first

Years later I'll know who you were referring to in that convo

You:

Struggles

Highzs🎱:

Fair enough

You:

I'm returning now to compensate though

I didn't send the screenshots for nothing

If you will also tell me your name, of course

Highzs🎱:

That's the promise we made so

It's National Handwriting Day. My handwriting is a big victory for me. I'm a left-handed dyslexic. For years, I heard all about how bad my handwriting was. I listened to teachers tell me I was some kind of failure.

Because I wrote mirror image. Or couldn't spell.

But I loved writing. I loved my notebooks - as far back as I can remember, I have loved notebooks, and the feel of pen on paper. The impossible potential of a blank page.

Writing mirror image and left-handed in the late 1980s? I had teachers carefully and gently try to find out if I was possessed (the Satanic Panic was fun as a geeky, left-handed dyslexic. Let me tell you...)

I listened to teachers get on me about using pens in the 'wrong' colors. (Colors that were only for girls! Not for boys! And stickers were a whole fucking thing.)

I got tired of listening to it. So, I practiced writing by hand. A lot. I discovered my handwriting got better when I wrote smaller. I practiced my spelling obsessively, and discovered a love for collecting words.

I battled teachers over my accommodations. The right to type instead of hand write, especially. (I had to even get accommodations to be allowed to use left-handed or non-spiral notebooks, and the right to not be trapped into writing in three ring binders - that I could take the notebook paper out!)

My vengeance wasn't swift, but it was thorough. I started writing everything in various colors of blue (because blue - as long as it wan't 'light blue' or 'teal' was an approved 'boy' color) in neat print. As tiny as I could make it.

And I can write very tiny. It drove them nuts, so they 'forced' me to type everything.

Some of my tiny handwriting came from writing on tabletop RPG character sheets. Some of it came from a desire to preserve as much space as possible in my notebooks and journals, and some of it was just that I liked having neat handwriting.

But some of it was definitively petty.
