(( @flamesignite gets Edward Elric for Roy Mustang

★ ━━━━━━ He had been there overnight after the accident, both body and mind were still reeling from the horrors he had seen and were now unable to see... He had gone straight into surgery to remove glass from his face and eyes, small pieces he couldn't get removed, so they stayed in the eyeball.

It was the day after surgery, and Edward was allowed to have visitors, two at a time. He really didn't want to see anyone, but Edward knew that some people would come and see him anyway. He was on his back in the hospital bed, hair a mess at his back as his eyes saw nothing but blurry blobs and shapes, no color.

His body felt so heavy with the trauma and loss he had suffered, he could barely move at all; he didn't want to move. Edward really felt that he should have died with her....

A nurse came in to give Edward some eye-drops to help his eyes stay hydrated, and he was quiet and accepting of the contact, it was still scary for him to not be able to see... to be blind. Her soft voice made him aware of everything she did, and he was thankful for it, he didn't shake as much as he had at the beginning of his stay.

silly clip in the void, what will he do :3c

[canonkiller]

abjectly refuse to romanticize weight loss and malnutrition. that shit kills you. to starve yourself is crippling¹ even in the ""bearable"" "well I'm just hungry less" / "other people have it worse" / "it's only a few skipped meals" / etc ways. you have this fucking life and that's it so please if you do nothing else allow yourself to actually be alive in it. do you hear me? take your supplements and multivitamins and eat breads and meats and vegetables and fats and sugars and shit that just fucking tastes good okay? thank you

Plot Idea #3:

A totally blind yandere.

The times I've seen the theme of blindness in a yandere story, it's always the senpai who is the victim of said disability, but never the yandere.

The yandere wouldn't be stupid, since by not having the sense of sight he would take advantage of the other senses such as hearing and touch. He would be aware of EVERY sound you make and would even be capable of using his guide dog and training it to attack or bark at you when you try to get away or escape from him.

The blind yandere would depend on you in a certain way and consider you his eyes, so he would manipulate you with his disability so that you do not leave him; although deep down he longs to see you for the first time.

Speaking of manipulation and other bad things, the blind yandere would take advantage of his condition to harass or stalk you however he can, until you explode and reject him in the worst way just to make you public enemy #1, since many people hold disabled people in high regard (and some actually believe that every disabled people is good and incapable of doing evil). This is mostly as a form of punishment from him.

-"I don't need to see you to hit you where it hurts the most and punish you. I may be blind, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to make you mine."-.

-The End.

★ ━━━━━━ A drifter. Edward was something of that himself, although he couldn't very well drift anywhere due to his blindness--not that he wanted to though. Ultimately he preferred to stay home, but something had nagged him to get out of his apartment, and traverse the streets aimlessly.

"So we share a loneliness, right? You had something taken from you, and that's why you wander?" The blonde wasn't about to spill his reason for being lonely, but he felt the man meant him no harm.

His legs felt heavy for some reason, and he knew they were in a park as he swept his came along the ground, trying to find somewhere to sit so the could possibly keep talking. It wasn't everyday that Edward had eye on him, and he felt okay around the man, though cautious as always--without his sight he wasn't in his prime, but he could still defend himself if needed.

"I suppose tht would make the two of us then." Madara responded.

His fall from grace was long ago, and there are still scars from all he had endured.

"I used to be someone important, but not anymore. Now, I'm simply a drifter. I go where the wind takes me so to speak." He explained.

You shouldn't get a wheelchair, walker, cane, shower chair, or any kind of assistive technology mobility aid because then you might become dependent on them. Just like how you also shouldn't get glasses if you have bad eyesight because then you might become dependent on those.

For instance, if you end up stuck using corrective eyewear, you could actually lose your ability to tell what things are even when they are extremely blurry! You need to get used to having migraines from seeing unclearly because if you wear glasses all the time, you are basically giving up!! You don't need to see things coming at you from far away! You just need to get good at dodging, and if you can't, then you have no one to blame but yourself!!

For example, I read a really heart-worming article recently about a girl who was stuck using glasses - just absolutely, tragically trapped in her eyewear from dawn to dusk, even though she was good and never ever complained; and I heard she trained herself to discern the blurry faces of her loved ones with 60% accuracy! - she was even able to walk down the aisle at her wedding WITHOUT forcing the discomfort of seeing a woman in glasses on all her guests!!

Sure, she had to give her vows with a splitting headache, and she couldn't see her husband's expression when he said "I do," but overall, SO inspi-ration-al!!! So up-lifting!!

(She didn't even have to use a seeing eye cane, which would have been the worst-case scenario, obviously, because she worked hard to make sure she looked LESS disabled, not MORE disabled!!! Everyone knows blind people exist solely to be a cautionary tale to sighted people!!)

Also, did you know some people get glasses when they only need them a little bit?? How selfish of them! Sure, there's not a shortage, and an increase in demand would result in overall increased accessibility to glasses--but emotionally it's like taking glasses away from someone who needs them more! After all, if everyone who needed glasses got them, then...... um...... more people would have glasses! Which is probably bad!!!!

I also had a friend who was trapped in glasses who saved up all her money for laser eye surgery, and I don't know why everyone doesn't just do that! Sure, some doctors say some people don't "qualify" and it "won't help" those people, but that's why you can't give up!! You don't want to be one of those people!

After all, what's the worst thing that could happen with an unnecessary laser surgery to the face that comes with crippling debt??? It's worth the risk to gain your FREEDOM back, and I'm so proud of my friend!!

Tragically, she did die later that year while driving Uber and squinting at street signs, but at least now I know my friend is finally free from the shackles of her terrible eyesight. #ripAshley #rippedAshley #justripit 😌😌😌❤😇😇😇

And that's why you shouldn't get used to using a mobility aid!! Because, like glasses, they are inherently embarrassing to be seen with; and - like glasses - it is more noble to suffer silently than to depend on unnatural technologies that force you to rely on them; AND - just like glasses - by abstaining from using them, you DEFINITELY benefit SO many people in tangible life-changing ways!!! (Besides, everyone else will be so much more comfortable if you just look normal! 😊)

I hope you learned something today. 💖

Edward could hear the rustling of clothing nearby, raising his head as the grip on his cane grew tighter. The blonde wasn't that okay around other people, but they rarely approached him, so the former Alchemist was a little curious as to who it was. Whetting his lips, Edward spoke, "Who's there?"

(Tents fingers) So I've had a very indulgent Lethal Company OC concept on the mind for a while, and now that I've drawn it, of course it's spiraled into a 80+ panel comic HILJKFD

Employee names are tentative right now, but they go by Cap'n, Kid (shortie, actual name is Scoot), Skeets (tall one, short for Skeeter) and Mav (wide one, goes by that or Maverick). Genders are also tentative, but I'm warming up to the idea of them all being women with Kid being the only boy!

Value keys for the comic are under the cut, along with some story beats/thumbnails and the uncensored version of Cap'n's injuries from the attack! (It's sketchy, but it is drawn gore so be warned!)

okay... even though no one asked, i have a ton of Blind Faith AU headcanons that I've been stewing on

First and foremost, Stan never gets any of his vision back. burns like that are extremely debilitating.

Stan would rather die than admit it, but he hates fire with a (burning) passion.

Stan's eyebrows never really grow back.

Ford has an unfixable stutter and unshakeable paranoia, so he will not talk to anyone he does not have to. Period.

Both of them are prone to equally terrible anxiety and flashbacks.

Ford is VERY trigger happy!

Both of have intense codependency problems and separation anxiety

One of Stan's worst long-running fears is losing something important (due to his blindness and his nomadic lifestyle).

Ford starts going gray VERY early due to the stress he experienced in the Cave.

Ford is secretly relieved that Stan will never see his tattoos.

The Cave made Ford's somniphobia a thousand times worse.

Ford helps Stan shave :D

Learning how to navigate blindness while in a wilderness dimension was not easy for Stan, especially while he was still healing.

Ford managed to take care of Stan in the few months after they escaped from the Cave, despite how taxing it was on his fragile mental stability.

Been wanting to draw some fanart for Poor George MAP since it's my favorite one, and because it was its anniversary recently, I finally did it :>

ID: A digital drawing in two panels with characters from Warriors. In the panel above, there's Yellowfang watching Brokenkit play with a moss ball, she looks endearingly at the little kit; they're in a green environment and plants surround them. In the panel below, Yellowfang is in the same possition, looking down at an adult Brokenstar at her feet, already dead, she looks sorrowful. Fireheart is by her side, looking at her with compassion. They're at ThunderClan's medicine den.

★ ━━━━━━ Standing where he was, Edward waited and took one hand from his pocket, smiling a little when he felt lips on his hand. It was incredible to him that he'd even think of being with anyone else, even months after his accident, after the funeral.... But Kurapika had been an anomaly, Edward wasn't even looking but someone had found him.

The blind man was very slowly getting back to his self before he had lost everything. But days were still difficult because of his loss of sight, and he often grew frustrated. But there was nothing that could change it.

Maybe, one day he'd tell Kurapika what happened...

He hadn't even realized he was eithout his cane till it was too late, though he knew the streets of central like a Transmutation circle. Jokingly though, he wanted assistance, and also to have the other close.

"Okay... one step at a time."

A soft smile appeared on the blonde's face when he heard him. He knew Edward could see by his way, but there were times when he wished he could see him, the same way he did. It was a shame he had to go through all that.

Slowly approaching him, Kurapika took the other man's arm carefully and first of all grabbed his hand, bringing it to his lips to leave a small kiss on the back of it, before finally linking his arm with his "It's okay, you can take my arm… I will be your eyes on the way to your apartment" His cheeks blushed slightly as he noticed that they looked like a newly married couple but then he simply laughed to himself.

"Okay, let's go, I'm starting to get hungry" He mentioned before starting his way back to his apartment.

This post is dedicated to my wife. I see you, my love. And I can't be more than proud of you, my darling honeybee.

Thinking about how Wade has to eat while doing something or else he just... can't.

Logan first noticed it about 4 days into moving in. That Wade will watch stuff on his phone or eat in the living room in front of the tv. There's no in-between.

One day, he makes dinner and sets the table, him and Al, sitting there, ready to eat, but Wade is hesitant. He sat down just fine but when it came to actually eating he just... stares.

He starts talking, rambling, ranting about anything. He even asks Logan to tell him a story about something, any war, anyone. "You ever meet anyone really cool? Like Elvis or something?"

"Not particularly." He mutters after swallowing.

He starts picking at his fingers in his lap. His foot is tapping, and he feels so guilty. He watches as Al finishes her plate, talking about how delicious it was and thanks him.

And Wade thinks so. The food is simple. It doesn't smell bad either. So why can't he just eat it? It's not like it was bad. Logan wouldn't feed him expired food or make him bad stuff on purpose.

'It's just pasta. Come on, you love pasta' he tries to tell himself but cant seem to actually put any food in his mouth.

Every time he tries, he ends up just putting it back down.

Eventually, there are tears in his eyes.

"Wade..? What's wrong?"

He shakes his head, smiling that bullshit grin he gives when he doesn't know how to explain the fact that his brain was screaming at him that he didnt deserve the food, trying to conviece him that it was rotten, convience him that he was being poisoned or that if he ate this something bad would happen.

But now he's between a rock and a hard place because if he doesn't eat Logan will think he hates his cooking and will leave. He'll move out.

And what if he takes puppins with him? What if he thinks hes a bad dog dad because obviously if he cant feed himself how will he take care of puppins? What if he-

"Wade!"

He jumps a bit, looking at him with big watery eyes.

Something in Logan's concerned face makes him feel worse. ".. y-yeah?"

There's silence.

Logan then sighs, his shoulders falling, scooting over with his plate as he sits next to him.

"... Have I ever told you about the time I accidently blew myself up and Rodgers laughed at me?"

He shakes his head, staring at him. "S-stevie laughed at you?"

Logan nods, beginning to tell the story.

And just like that?

Wade's fork finally reaches his mouth, sometimes glancing down at his plate, but mainly keeping his attention on Logan, smiling and interjecting at times.

He needed distraction.

From the meanies in his head that much preferred the words of a story or tv show then to be alone in the quiet.

"Wait wait wait-" he says, his plate already half cleared, about to shove some more in his mouth. "You sniffed it out and STILL stepped on it??"

"Heh.. yeh.. well. That's what happens when your stuck in a trench."

"Did it stink in there?" Another bite.

"It was terrible. That's why I couldn't smell the mines." He jokes, smirking as Wade laughs, covering his mouth.

Going to stab another piece he realizes that its gone. With another guilty look, he glances to the plate then to the stove, and Logan last.

"Is... is there more?"

Logan knew better then to question him. He had to do something similar with Kurt, talking him through his first few full meals. He didnt believed someone like him deserved fancy mansion food.. well.... Logan didn't either that first week. But Chuck was there.

And now Logan was there for Wade.

Funny how that came full circle..

"Yeah." He gets up, bringing him the entire pot, pouring another helping onto his plate, Watching as Wade shoveled some more in his mouth with a grin.

"So- Mmh- Pars uh yu jus' wen evrwhre??"

Logan smiles, now its his turn to laugh. "Not quite. But sure as hell felt like it."
