Comic i made in class

Agony 01

[neuroticboyfriend]

according to the medical industry, i'm morbidly obese, also known as class III obesity - the second highest stage of obesity, apparently. meanwhile, in terms of the Fat Spectrum (which is based on literal body size relative to accessibility/ableism), i'm only in the cusp between small and mid fat. above me, there are those firmly in mid fat, and then there's large fat and infinifat/super fat; there's also death fat, which is for anyone who wants to reclaim the categorization of morbidity.

i point this out because the medical industry, and society at large, has such a skewed and dehumanizing view of fat bodies. even the smallest of us are too much, and that sense of existing in wrongness and excess only gets worse the more fat you are. and i feel like straight size people have this idea that body fat is an accessory - that it can be taken on and off at will, and that fat people are simply choosing to have too much - that we're greedy and gluttonous because of it.

but in reality, body fat is a part of the human body. it comes in varying amounts in everyone, and that amount changes throughout our lives, throughout health and ability. and being part of the human body, our fat is us. by asking us to lose weight, become smaller, more palatable, you are asking us to change who we are. to literally take on a new face, because our face - the very thing most attach to our identity as a unique sign of us - is too much. can you imagine how heartbreaking that might be?

this idea of excess is similar for those who use mobility aids, and all of this a reminder that fatphobia is ableism - neither of which are ever okay or good or helpful or righteous. health and size are not indicators of morality and worth, and they certainly don't decide whether we deserve autonomy, healthcare, or access to life.

Halloween PSA: if you see someone using a mobility aid this Halloween, and you don't know them, don't joke about it or assume it's just their costume. I just had a complete stranger jokingly tell me I should be more hunched over to walk with a cane (I'm dressed as a witch). It's. Not. My. Costume. My body just doesn't work. I can't take my disability off at the end of the night. And please, if you're not sick/disabled, don't use mobility aids as costume props. Have a safe night, and be respectful.

i was in this local comicbook shop today and this place is one of my favourite places to go to as the autistic nerd i am.

i use a rollator to get around as im disabled and have chronic pain.

i was standing in one of the aisles talking to a couple of my friends and the worker there comes up to us and motions a walker and tells us we're in the way.

i get if there was people trying to get past, or if we were mucking about and making a mess, but we were literally just standing there, looking at products, AND THE FACT THAT HE SINGLED ME OUT WITH DIRECT EYE CONTACT AND MOTIONED MY ROLLATOR.

like thanks for the reminder that i as a disabled person am not welcome in public!!

especially with the fact ive only recently started using my rollator and am trying so hard to build my confidence with it

[yrfemmehusband]

seeing people i haven’t talked to since i started using a cane is so hard, especially in public.

be they a regular at my store, or an acquaintance, it’s always “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU” “WHAT DID YOU DO” “ARE YOU OKAY?”

and i don’t know how they expect me to- in public, usually while im working- explain every symptom that led to my need for a cane. if you must ask, ask quietly in private. but it’s genuinely none of your business why someone may use a mobility aid! just treat us as you would normally if it weren’t there!

Had a run-in with some kids. It was late, I was just going for a walk and using one crutch. The kids yelled something like pretty abelist to me, then ran. I wasn't too bothered by it because I know they're just kids, couldn't have been over 10, but I beg of you if you have kids to monitor what they're watching online or saying to their friends and keep an eye out for any behaviours like that.

They most likely heard the phrases online, as it was pretty gen-alpha sounding, but like, surely we should be doing better as a society at this point? It was just disappointing to see kids so unabashedly yelling at a visibly disabled person and thinking it was funny :T

Dia dos Namorados

Summary: Não obstante, todos estavam bastante animados com exceção de um certo albino marionetista. Ele não suportava aquela data.

Notes: Apenas uma ideia que surgiu enquanto eu olhava algumas fan arts. Era pra esta fanfic ter sido postada no dia 14 de fevereiro porque como o próprio título aponta, seria o Dia dos Namorados. Eu sei que atrasei um tantinho, mas para todos os efeitos, vamos fingir que essa história foi postada no dia 14/02, sim?

Bom, sem mais delongas, boa leitura!

~*~

O clima não podia ser mais romântico na Easton. Com a chegada do Dia dos Namorados, todos os jovens estudantes estavam com os hormônios à flor da pele. Enquanto alguns criavam a coragem dentro de si para se declararem, outros ficavam na expectativa de terem seus sentimentos correspondidos. Não obstante, todos estavam bastante animados, com exceção de um certo albino marionetista. Ele não suportava aquela data.

Todo ano era a mesma coisa: tornava a se recordar do final trágico que teve sua mãe, o dia em que teve sua vida covardemente tirada pelas mãos de um necessitado faminto.

- No fim das contas eu também sou um fraco, afinal não pude salvar você... – Suspirou o albino em desolação ao encarar a pequena boneca que segurava em seus braços. Tudo o que mais desejava no momento era que o fatídico dia terminasse tão rápido quanto sua chegada.

- Seria incômodo eu te acompanhar em meio à melancolia? – Ao ouvir a pergunta, teve seu fluxo de pensamentos interrompido e virou-se para encarar o dono da voz.

Abyss esbanjava um sorriso terno em seu rosto enquanto aguardava a resposta de Abel à sua indagação, que não tardou a vir. A partir de um leve aceno do albino, o azulado teve sua confirmação e foi se aproximando timidamente do marionetista. Suas mãos pareciam esconder algo em suas costas.

- Sei bem como é. Certos acontecimentos nos fazem questionar a razão de nossa existência e o nosso valor como humanos. Será que vale à pena continuar vivendo? Eu honestamente acreditava que não até ter conhecido você...

Abel se sobressaltou com essa confissão. Sempre considerara o que fizera pelos integrantes do Magia Lupus o mínimo. Então, a sinceridade de Abyss aquecera seu coração. Era uma sensação aconchegante e acolhedora, que há muito não sentira e sequer cogitava fazer tanta falta a si. O azulado prosseguiu:

- Você não só me deu motivos para continuar existindo, como também me fez experimentar o que realmente significa estar vivo. Tudo pode ter começado como uma causa na nossa irmandade, mas é justamente ela que nos une como uma verdadeira família e por mais que tenhamos perdido a batalha, nada foi em vão. Quero que continuemos sendo uma família e que pudesse contar mais comigo nos momentos de vulnerabilidade... – Um rubor se instalou nas faces de ambos após proferir essas palavras.

- Somos humanos, Abel, temos nossos momentos de fragilidade e nada me dói mais do que não conseguir fazer nada a respeito. Não sou capaz de desfazer o ocorrido ou modificar suas memórias, mas ao menos, permita que eu seja seu esteio e a sua fonte de esperança inesgotável. – Após essa declaração, as mãos de Abyss deixaram suas costas revelando o que estivera escondendo até o presente momento: uma caixa de chocolates em formato de coração. Ao abri-la os inúmeros chocolates em formato de boneca contidos em seu interior foram revelados.

- Feliz Dia dos Namorados. – Disse enquanto levava uma boneca de chocolate até sua boca, deixando-a levemente presa aos seus lábios enquanto fechava seus olhos num convite discreto a um beijo.

Após captar a indireta lançada a si, os instintos mais primitivos de Abel pareceram despertar e não tardara a consumar aquele ato tão aguardado por ambos. No instante seguinte, seus lábios selaram-se levemente aos do azulado dando início a um beijo calmo, porém igualmente inebriante e repleto de significado. Todas as suas tristezas, medos, inseguranças e desabafos foram colocadas ali, abrindo espaço para que um novo e puro sentimento os preenchessem. 

Talvez o Dia dos Namorados não precisasse ser tão ruim assim. Enquanto tivessem um ao outro, não havia nada que não pudessem superar juntos.

~*~

Notes: Por mais que Abyss e Abel não sejam um casal canônico na obra original, a dinâmica existente entre os dois é tão maravilhosamente encantadora, que abre espaço para imaginarmos tantas possibilidades de cenários e interações entre eles.

Edit: @meinoart, sorry! I didn´t give the proper credits before! Dx

Found it on Pixiv quite sometime ago and didn´t remember the name of the artist, so I just put #credit to artist in the tags. I hope it´s not too late to give proper credits

Also, my other fanfics follow the same pattern. I´ll look again for the names of the artists and update the tags and the credits.

I´m really sorry :(

So people only really started to take my pain seriously after I started using a cane.

I started using it about a week ago an already my family has been talking about physical therapy and stuff, which is a bit ironic since I spent basically my whole life having constant knee pain and occasionally other joint pains, but thankfully most days I could walk without too much difficulty.

I didn't really know what it was like to live pain free until now. I noticed only about the age of 12 that the normal baseline pain was exactly zero, and even then it took me a while to come to terms with that.

I'm still quite young , so I am honestly disappointed but not surprised that family and medical professionals didn't take me seriously then and don't really now.

Although I find it interesting that immediately upon having some physical marker that denotes me as a disabled person, I get listened to. If people behaved the same way then like they do now it could have saved me multiple years of pain and exhaustion. It makes me kind of furious that this is all it took and it couldn't have happened earlier. At the same time I know I'm lucky to get help now rather than later, and that at least my joint pain is somewhat treatable. I will still keep using the cane though because of other health issues that are, from what I can tell chronic.

mom has been more open to us using our AACs (we usually say apps) and she doesn't know any other AAC users or autistic people other than us and our cousin and she doesn't do research. wonder if she'd be annoyed if we sent articles or instagram posts?? (she doesn't use social media besides scroll on YouTube) she acts like we're not really disabled til is point blank in her face. she wants us to get a job cause “immigrants are taking all of the resources” and we know we can't work a job atm and she keeps telling us about JW end of the world stuff and we're trans and we're scared but we don't care if die, we just are sad at the idea of god not loving us cause we're LGBT. didn't me make us this way? are we we mistake. sigh..

Exactly what I'm talking about!

José having to balance his own innate need to be accepted by his family - since he's assumedly the middle child and therefore needs to accomplish more to stand out amongst his brothers (middle child syndrome hits hard) - and the detrimental effect his chronic overachievement has on Alejandro is a super interesting and, as far as I'm aware, unexplored valley of possibility to take his character down.

Which can be made even more heartbreaking if you portray José as being unaware of just how deeply Alejandro takes each outshining. He's an oblivious antagonist in Alejandro's life who only ever intended to be a good role model for his younger brother. What's more tragic than someone who unintentionally and unknowingly becomes a villain in the eyes of the person they care most about?

Having their personalities clash in such a way that they both end up inadvertantly hurting each other through the lack of mutual understanding, exaserbated by the conditions of their homelife and, as you mentioned, the impact of a "traditional masculinity" on their behaviour, is a much more realistic and interesting dynamic to write for the two than just having José act as a one-dimensional bad guy.

Because we see the impact of José's behaviour on Alejandro in canon; his inherent need to prove his worth by winning, his aversion to the nickname "Al" or other variations of his name, his poor reaction to losing (when he isn't throwing on purpose). But we don't see how José is impacted by Alejandro.

Imagine this. You're José. You try your best to be a good big brother to Alejandro, even if he doesn't seem to share your joking nature since he always ignores your teasing and generally meets your attempts to bond with a glower, but that's fine because you love him anyway and you're sure he loves you too. Sure, it hurts when your baby brother constantly rebuffs your affection, but you know that Al tends to be a lot more serious than you, so you try your best not to be sour over it. The only thing you two seem to really bond over is your shared competitiveness, which is something your parents (stern as they are) encourage between you two. So you engage in as many challenges with Alejandro as you can, spurring on a full-blown rivalry between the two of you, which - at least on your end - is mainly an excuse to spend time together. There's nothing more to it, just a friendly rivalry between brothers. But then you find out that Al doesn't see it that way. In fact, he hates you, and thinks you're dead-set on causing him as much pain and hardship as possible by consistantly outperforming him. Now, all of a sudden, every cold shoulder he's turned your way that you initially shrugged off as a standoffish temperament take on a new meaning. Every vitriolic insult he'd spat at you during whatever competition of the week you two engaged in is no longer just him getting lost in the heat of the moment, it's genuine resentment. A realisation like that has to hurt. What do you even do in that situation?

So now you have a José who's being faced with the consequences of his actions, despite how good his intentions were. Because from an objectve point of view, he was kind of an asshole to Alejandro, he just didn't realise or intend to be.

Does he struggle with a sudden bout of self-doubt... and perhaps even self-loathing, for inadvertantly hurting someone he cares about so deeply it made them hate him? Does he refuse to believe the reality of the situation and lash out against the idea of him being the "problem"? Does he try to apologise to Alejandro, only to be met with disbelief and scrutiny and (potentially) outright hostility?

I'm just saying there's a lot of angst potential there in what is essentially just a massive miscommunication plot. And it's the perfect excuse to explore José and Alejandro as characters and their toxic homelife.

I think it'd be a lot more tragic if José wasn't the antagonistic asshole we all assume him to be. At least, not from his point of view.

Could you imagine a José who is genuinely trying to be friendly with his baby brother in his own weird way; initiating meaningless competitions between them because he can see how excited Alejandro gets when his competitive fire is nurtured, playfully roughhousing with him as a form of bonding, trying to set a good example for his baby brother by meeting their parents impossibly high standards and encouraging him to do the same, so on so forth.

A José who's completely oblivious to Alejandro's hostility towards him, who perhaps makes himself too present in his younger brother's life because of how vacant his older brother Carlos had been to him. Who genuinely thinks that Alejandro shares the same perspective on their relationship - since their parents have all but banned healthy communication in their household, and the Burromuertos at large are in the habit of masking their true feelings/thoughts.

I just think it'd be interesting to explore things from José's point of view without making him some irredeemable villain. Plus, learning how Alejandro really views him from a reality television show of all things would beprime angst material.
