Just read through your Kingswap AU, and ITS SO GOOD!!!! I've been wondering though, was there any 'croissant incident' equivalent?

Kind of hard to have an incident when the Boulanger is out of commission...Swapped King still gets a coin, though. I wonder where it came from?

(What's this?)

Polite ways to ask somebody why they use a cane:

Don't. Why is it your business?

"I'm curious why you use a cane. Are you comfortable sharing?"

Impolite ways to ask somebody why they use a cane:

"What happened to you?"

"What did you do?"

"What's wrong with you?"

hi! I absolutely love your art and I get so happy when I see it come up on my feed! 🥰

if I can ask, why does cyra use a cane sometimes? I just saw your art where gale and cyra are with their newborn and cyra is walking with their toddler and she has a cane and I was curious.

have a good day! 😁💚

thank you so much!!!

i don't think i've said much about it other than 'she almost died' aksdhsh but everything went very wrong when the first one was born and she got sepsis, which can really fuck you up long term and she developed chronic fatigue.

she definitely tells the children that she's got a sword hidden inside it

Guys, I gotta be honest...

If this version of Bruce Wayne told me to get on me knees,

I'm down and tying my hair back. Absolutely no hesitation. I don't even need to be hit with sex pollen. He's enough.

You'd have to have Superman pry me away from this man. Sure, he's been withered by age and illness, but he can still get it. I mean, he's Bruce Wayne. The Batman. Despite his retirement, this man could easily throw or pin me and I would be begging for more. I'd gladly be tossed around like a rag doll by him. I'd allow myself to be nothing more than an outlet. Like, please, take your decades of frustration out on me 😩. No strings attached.

And, I'm sorry? Him with Ace? I'm swooning. A man with a soft spot for animals is one of my weaknesses. He may seem hardened and cold by the tragedies he'd witnessed, but his dog will get a smile out every single time. And the way Ace loves and protects him? You just know Bruce is so good to his furry baby 😭. Ace would be eating a raw food diet enhanced with every vitamin and mineral needed to keep him in top shape for as long as possible. His coat would be so shiny and his teeth would be so clean, both getting brushed daily. They would go on morning and evening walks around the garden, just soaking in the negative rays from Gotham's cloudy skies. And I'd be earning brownie points by getting this dog to love me. I would do anything for Ace. I love him so much.

And him glaring at me? Knees weak. I'm folding on sight. I love the authority. Thrive on it even. While I'm doing all the work, he'd be giving all the commands. Every single move would be directed by him. He'd be in complete control, able to level me with just a look. And the things he would say to me? He'd be degrading me during and praising me after. It'd be an emotional roller coaster but I'd always come crawling back.

I don't care what type of issues this might be a manifestation of, but I'm down bad for this man. And don't even get me started on Alfred-

That's it, I have to take matters into my own hands. I'm writing an xReader smut of old man Bruce Wayne. Let me know if you're interested, but it's happening no matter what at this point.

I also just wanna know I'm not alone.

I think people need to understand that 'fakers' are a much smaller issue to disabled people than 'fake claimers'

First of all a lot of people who 'fake' mental illness/neurodivergance are not 'faking it', they may not be neurodivergent/have a specific mental illness but most of the time they think they have do.

Faking normally implies a degree of awareness or malice but a lot are just relating to things that they are not fully informed of and coming to the conclusion that they are neurodivergen/disabled. Who/what does this effect?

Not a lot. There may be some misinformation (which obviously isn't good) but nothing overtly harmful to disabled people. To access any degree of accommodation you need a diagnosis so people aren't taking anything away because they will be denied.

And yes there are those select few people who do have awareness and malice in what they are doing, often to illicit sympathy and get money. It is these types of people who fake a physical disability in addition to mental and neurodivergence. But these are very rare.

Fake claimers however, are far more common and pervasive.

They are everywhere, they do it to actually disabled people. It is very disturbing to see in real life.

I have genuinely had strangers come up to me and say that I don't actually need my cane and try and take it off me. My own family members have taken my cane away from me and left me until they brought it back. I have had people tell me that when they push me and I fall that I made myself fall over. I have had people tell me that because I was able to hold onto my cane as they tried to take it away from me that I am lying about needing pencil grips. This is actively harmful.

And it not only happens with the people around you but with those there to help disabled people.

Due to personal bias there are professionals who say that you dont look disabled/autistic/neurodivergent/etc just because you do not present in a certain way (particularly with neurodivergent people who are denied for not being a 6 year old boy because that's how they think its 'supposed' to look).

Women and people of colour have been denied and misdiagnosed with conditions like hysteria, Bpd and anxiety disorders or, if it is physical, stress, hormones, periods, etc in place of the disability they actually have all because their conditions research was focused on white men/boys.

Ambulatory wheelchair users are told they don't need a wheelchair because they are not paralysed. Ignoring the fact that people use the mobility aid that suits them instead of being denied because they don't 'suit' the mobility aid.

If disability does not look how people initially imagined suddenly its not a disability at all.

It is a systemic and social issue that persists and is made worse by people getting upset over some random girl on tiktok saying she has Adhd.

If you do not like people being ill informed then advocate for education.

Fake claiming is a big part of abelism that we ignore and that needs to change.

Happy pride month, I love teeth

Here’s another redraw that I did instead of, well, anything else!

I might burn out from my own ambition.

It was late at night, and the corridors of Hogwarts were eerily quiet, save for the occasional creak of old wood and the whisper of distant footsteps. Almost everyone had gone to bed, except for the occasional pair of students hidden in dark corners, seemingly engaged in some kind of mating ritual. Nosy, however, had no interest in flicking nonsense for tonight. No, the little Niffler had a far more important mission.

Navigating the colossal castle was no small feat for someone as small as Nosy. The towering walls and endless staircases presented a challenge even for a Niffler as brilliant as him. But determination was one of Nosy's greatest qualities - well, that and his impeccable taste in shiny objects and other things. Hours of searching through hallways, past common rooms, and even a quick sniff at the kitchens had finally paid off.

There it was, standing proud and majestic: The Christmas tree he had been searching for! The lights sparkled like stars, the ornaments gleamed like treasure, and Nosy's eyes shone just as brightly as the display before him.

The Niffler had overheard a juicy piece of gossip earlier, his sharp ears tuned in on a group of Prefects chatting lazily in the corner. Apparently, they couldn't be bothered to cast protection charms on all the Christmas trees this year. Tz tz. Lazy gits, Nosy thought, clicking his beak in disdain. They clearly had nothing on Mama William, whose attention to detail was unmatched. Still, what was a loss for them was undoubtedly a massive win for Nosy.

With a squeak of excitement, Nosy hopped towards the tree. It was beautiful! The twinkling lights! The shimmering ornaments! The GLITTER! THE LIGHTS!!! It was like a dream come true for the little menace. His heart raced as if it was trying to keep up with the dazzling twinkles.

Nosy paused for just a moment, standing on his hind legs to inspect a particularly large, golden ornament hanging from one of the lowest branches. With a gentle boop, his paw made contact, and it swung lightly on its hook. He let out a squeak of pure joy, giggling at the delightful wobble it made. He could touch it! This was it - this was the jackpot!!

The little Niffler took a step back, sizing up the towering tree in all its glory, before letting out a honk of pure, unbridled joy. This was his tree now. Without further hesitation, Nosy began climbing, his paws grabbing at the lower branches as his belly pouch greedily devoured ornaments of every shape and size. Sparkling stars, glittering baubles, tiny bells - all disappeared into his pouch, his tail wiggling with glee at every piece.

And the lights! Oh, the shiny lights! Nosy couldn't resist wrapping himself in the glowing strands, his fur glowing like a festive beacon in the dark. This was, without a doubt, the best-est day ever! Perched high in the tree, surrounded by all the treasures he'd claimed, Nosy let out a loud, victorious honk that echoed through the empty halls. The Christmas tree didn’t stand a chance.

Imagine being the server at Fisk’s party who had a cane thrown on your tray and the dude who placed it there was shot minutes later before you could even try to return it

Question for mobility aid users:

Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to know when you should start looking at getting a mobility aid? I've dealt with lower back pain for the better part of the past 4-5 years and my knee likes to just randomly start hurting (due to an injury from when I was 16 that I wasn't able to get proper care for 3 months). It's never bad enough to keep me from walking, but it definitely makes moving a lot harder and I feel like it's just getting worse over time.

I know nothing about the process of acquiring a mobility aid, nor do I know where to start looking for information or what questions to ask. I've honestly been thinking about this for a while though, but I don't know what does/doesn't "count" as a need for a mobility aid.

Again, I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question. Thank you for your time. ^^

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who offered advice on this post. I'm gonna be honest, expected maybe three people to see this total. I really appreciate the people who took time out of their day to respond to this. I just am not good at responding to people (memory issues + social anxiety collectively jumping my ass, yk?), but I have read through every reblog and comment on this post and I just really want to say thank you.
