#but im deaf.

[kitcheninaman]

being a musician and doing a music course despite being hard of hearing is all fun and games until you're hard of hearing and can't actually do some of the coursework you need to do for your music course .

i feel strongly about this

deaf!bakugou likes to feel the vibrations of your body.

to paint a clear picture, he doesn’t have his hearing aids in, and you two are in resting in bed after a few rounds of making love (and consoling your fiancée when he started tearing up and signing about how he was fucking pissed he couldn’t hear you moaning his name)

the sun’s orange glow as it sets just outside your window beams a gorgeous light onto you both, glistening with sweat. it’s a comfortable few minutes before you remember a juicy story you’d overheard earlier that day, and you gently tap the space next to your lover (you didn’t have to though cuz he was already staring at you with cheesy adoration).

you slightly pull yourself away from his beefy chest to begin expressively signing your daily piece of gossip. you always speak out loud when you sign, even though you know he can’t hear you. and as you’re signing with speedily, facial expressions big and enthusiastic, katsuki’s eyes dart to your lips every two seconds, nostalgically remembering the sound of your gorgeous voice before the war.

he huffs, signing wait. you pause with confusion before he shuffles forward so two of his fingers could rest on your throat. he feels you swallow and a little grin writes itself upon his face. he gives you a tiny nod to continue. and he smiles at the heavy buzzing against his digits.

real accessibilityheads know that

1. all the non english films have subtitles

2. many of the listed films do have subtitles

3. there are subtitle extensions like substital that offer subtitle tracks for free.

you can either download a subtitle track separately (archive.org offers these sometimes actually) and then sync it through substital OR:

there are many offers for different languages, these are subtitles that WILL sync to this video because it only searches things that are the same runtime.

i know this because i used to watch tons of international films and tv without english subtitles available! and this is awesome. and super functional.

thanks for listening.

Reading comprehension site. As far as I understand it, your point is moreso that often stories set in a world without homophobia, transportation, etc. Are treated as morally better. Meanwhile stories which are parallel to real world queerness, identity, and oppression are often viewed negatively. Mostly because there's a standing idea of "you could have made it better by simply not including the homophobia and transphobia".

In my mind, both are morally equivalent, and both are examining themes which may be interesting in the context of queer experiences and liberation.

yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about... I'm basically just arguing against that more extreme mindset you sometimes see around queernorm stuff and pointing out that maybe it's not great to implicitly lump stuff like, say, steven universe, queer as folk, and i saw the tv glow together as the 'lesser' or "more harmful" type of work we should seek to avoid because they focus on queer struggles, or otherwise downplaying the value of themes that aren't like, escapist enough in some way.

Honestly I think at some point the discussion around depictions of homophobia- specifically, criticism aimed at the thought that (often quite fetishistic) homophobia (or sexism, racism, etc) needed to exist in fantasy for the sake of "historical realism", and of bury your gays-type stuff - sort of got telephone game'd into "it's weird to depict bigotry or gay characters suffering/dying when you could just not do that; no one wants to see that" and then in turn "the best, most valuable and desired way to depict queerness (race, disability, gender, etc) is to make it normal and as downplayed as possible" and i think it's worth pointing out that that's often not great advice/a good metric for judging queer fiction overall.

zuka rocket hard of hearing hc

[toximblee]

todoroki signs at bakugou during class just to see him turn away and scowl, his cheeks tinted pinker. bakugou can still hear, but its faint and oftentimes in battle scenarios he wont hear his teammates yelling to him, so aizawa forced him into sign language classes with present mic. the people close to him decided to join in, but todoroki spent the most time learning. aizawa would yell at them for talking in class anyway, so whenever todoroki would catch bakugou looking ( often ) hed sign a little 'i love you' and watch as the spikey blondes crimson eyes would widen and hed growl at him to try and feign annoyance before signing a tiny 'i love you too' back and turning away to glare at the meadow outside.

People love silco because they love jinx, and silco refused to give jinx up.

But he never, not once, felt remorse for the way he destroyed his own city via drug cartel, child labor, reckless violence, police bribery, etc. He was an evil character who had love for his daughter. That is his one redeeming quality and it does not make up for the bad things he did.

The same people hate caitlyn because she made terrible decisions due to a lapse in judgement influenced by multiple factors, harming Vi and Zaunite citizens.

But she consistently felt remorse and was conflicted with the person she became. She constantly questioned Ambessa and her motives, and tried to minimize the damage she did, though it took her a while to fully release the anger that influenced the damage she did, and accept she would have to spend a lifetime making up for it. She is a good character who did terrible things and committed herself to rectifying them.

See the difference?

Some interactions I've had stuck in my head for a while

1

Will: I prefer guys who make small dick jokes about themselves over guys who make big dick jokes about themselves

Nico: Mine's a medium. It can talk to ghosts.

Will: …You're spending too much time with Leo

2

*Will and Nico eating popsicles*

Nico: *sucking on his popsicle like a normal person*

Will: *watching him and gets so flustered he starts glowing and accidentally melts his own popsicle all over his hand*

Leo: *from out of nowhere* DUDE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS!?

3

Will: *on his 3rd energy drink of the day running into the room* Nico found out I pulled an all nighter again this week– help–

Kayla: *doesn't even look up from what she's doing* You're on your own dude

Nico: *drops down from the ceiling* William. Andrew. Solace. *drags him by his shirt collar to his cabin* We are going to cuddle. You are going to nap. AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO LEAVE US ALONE AND LET YOU SLEEP.

4

Leo: *in the infirmary with Will getting their hormone blockers* If their trans. Give them T. Trans people like T.

Will: *has to listen to him do this every time they do this* While that is true, if you do that one more time I'm going to strangle you.

5

*Will and Nico bickering*

Will: THAT'S IT. I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS ANYMORE.

Nico: Don't you dare.

Will: *takes his hearing aids off and continues cussing him out in sign language*
