Forgetting your character is disabled isn't a "good representation" flex: Writing Disability Quick Tips

[ID: An image with “Writing Disability quick tips: Forgetting your character is disabled isn't a good representation flex” written in chalk the colour of the disability pride flag, from left to right, red, yellow, white, blue and green. Beside the text is a poorly drawn man in red chalk looking down confused at his leg, one is drawn normally, the other is drawn to resemble a basic prosthetic. He has question marks above his head. /End ID]

For a while, I was involved in the booktok and Tik Tok writing communities, specifically parts of the community focused on more diverse books and authors. During this time, I noticed a reoccurring pattern when people were highlighting stories featuring disabled characters, or even promoting their own books, and that was how often people would say "I kind of forget they have [insert disability here] because they're such a badass."

The intention behind this statement is (usually) good, with people trying to show that their disabled characters are self-sufficient and don't fall into the tired old sad/helpless disabled person trope, however, you can - and very much should - do that without erasing your character's disability. If you find yourself forgetting your character is disabled, or your beta and pre-release readers are commenting about forgetting it, then there's a good chance that's exactly what you've done - and as a disabled person myself, if I see that statement being used in your marketing in particular, it's a giant red flag and a sure fire way to make sure I give the book in question a skip.

Remember, disabilities (especially major ones) are a part of your character's identity, and they're important regardless of the character's personal relationship with it. Even if your character doesn't specifically identify with the label of disabled or doesn't really care that much, it's should still be impacting their daily life, even in small ways. If you're finding yourself forgetting about a major part of your character's identity, it might be a good idea to check and make sure their disability is having an impact on the character.

I see this comment most often with amputee characters, and to me, it's a pretty consistently good indication that the author has treated their character's prosthetic as a cure rather than the mobility aid it is. It's far from unique to amputees, mind you (I talked about this a lot when I was discussing the character of Toph from Avatar), but it's when I tend to see it the most. Remember that mobility aids and other forms of assistive technology and assistive magic (if it's a fantasy story) are just that: they're aids, they assist, they shouldn't be cures.

Of course, this wasn't unique to Booktok, I've seen it on nearly every other social media site with a writing and book-focused community at some point, but Tik Tok was just where I spent the most time and it seems to be where I see the most people specifically gloating about it.

Do you have any tips for drawing faces/expressions? I really like the way you draw them

DO I HAVE TIPS FOR YOU!- that’s what he said hehhehhehsnort

The key to good facial expressions is all in the eyebrows and subtle shifts of the FACE MEAT.

See below example.⬇️

I have art tips and tricks for my Patreon pigeons if you’d like some more!

Good soup.

Here's a lil comic strip about how you can protect your art before sharing it to the public!!!

Against AI and against art theft too!

Click on 'read more' to see the extra tip I mentioned at the end!

Geez been working on this since the Meta AI things blew up but I only finished just now!!

Here's the extra tip I mentioned at the end:

you can use http://haveibeentrained.com to search for your images and find out if your work has been used for AI.

In there, you can choose to opt out, but AI companies are not obligated to respect it so it isn't too much of a protection unfortunately 😭

Also be aware that they are associated with AI and they did try to badmouth glaze so artists wouldn't protect themselves; which's very bad for a company that allegedly are on the side of the artists.

Also!!! There's a new type of AI that I was just made aware of last week, Copainter.

It completes unfinished work, which can be used for 'stealing and claiming it theirs', so put a cat picture in the next wips you post as well!

Funny protective measure I know LOLLLL but here's the tests for yall cynical people:

Perhaps I'll complete this comic with this info one day, but just these 10 slides took a looot of work so probably not happening anytime soon 😭

Thank you for reading everything though, I really appreciate it and hope this will help 🫶 be careful out there, privacy issues have been crazy recently!!!

📕 𝟓𝟎-𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞

March 1st ! If you’ve been slacking, if your study habits have been messy, or if finals are creeping up way too fast this is it. I did a 20-day productivity challenge before, but now, with finals staring me down and less than 90 days to go, I need to actually get my flip together.For the next 50 days, I’m locking in. This isn’t about aesthetic study sessions or fake productivity or like those 10s filming study routine 💁🏻‍♀️ . It’s about deep focus, real progress, and making sure you n i walk into finals prepared, not panicked.

before we start! what are the ..

🔴 Things You Need to Avoid

When you’re pushing yourself to study, it’s easy to fall into traps that make the process feel harder than it needs to be. One of the biggest things to avoid is procrastination. It’s tempting to delay tasks and distract yourself with less important things, but the truth is, the longer you wait, the more overwhelming it becomes. Putting things off only builds stress and leaves you with less time to focus on what truly matters.Another major pitfall is burnout. While it might feel like working non-stop is the key to success, the reality is that exhaustion doesn’t lead to productivity. If you push yourself too hard without breaks or balance, you’ll find your focus slipping, and your energy drained. Instead, aim for deep, focused study periods with scheduled rest to recharge. The key is working smart, not just hard.u also NEED to stay away from passive studying. Reading over your notes without actively engaging with the material might feel like you’re making progress, but it’s not enough. True learning happens when you interact with the content whether that’s through active recall, practicing problems, or teaching the concept to someone else. It’s about getting the information out of your head, not just in.And then there’s multitasking, which can be deceiving. You might think that juggling multiple tasks or subjects at once is a sign of productivity, but in reality, it dilutes your focus. Instead, concentrate on one subject at a time and give it your full attention. By focusing deeply, you’ll achieve better results in less time.Finally, avoid over-planning. It’s easy to get stuck in an endless loop of scheduling and rearranging without actually doing the work. While having a plan is crucial, it’s more important to take action. Don’t get paralyzed by perfection; start moving forward, and adapt as you go.

💡 What You Need to Succeed

Success in a challenge like this comes down to preparation, mindset, and consistency. First and foremost, you need to set yourself up for success by organizing everything you need. Having your books, notebooks, and study tools ready at your desk isn’t just about being prepared—it’s a psychological trigger that helps you get into the right mindset. When you see your space ready for work, it subconsciously tells your brain that it’s time to focus.But it’s not just about the materials. Your environment matters. A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind, so make sure you have a clean, quiet place to study. This is where you’ll spend most of your time, so make it a space that supports your work rather than distracts you. Even something as simple as proper lighting and a comfortable chair can make a huge difference in your ability to focus.It’s also essential to have the right tools. Flashcards, sticky notes, mind maps, or even physical planners whatever helps you engage with the material actively is what you should have at hand. You don’t need to follow a one-size-fits-all strategy, but it’s about finding what works best for you. What will make the material stick? What will make you more engaged and less likely to zone out?Consistency is key, too. This isn’t a sprint y'all u need to commit to a study schedule that’s manageable and realistic. Establish a routine that you can stick to every day thats what my teachers say everyday whether it’s an hour in the morning or a few hours in the evening. Building consistency will help you develop the discipline needed to push through tough moments, especially when motivation runs low.Finally, don’t forget about your energy. Sleep, food, and overall well-being are the foundation of any successful study routine. Without proper rest, your brain can’t absorb or retain information. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep to let your brain recharge and consolidate what you’ve learned. Likewise, pay attention to your body when you're well-rested and nourished, you’ll feel more alert, focused, and motivated. Let's cb !

last tip !

There will be moments when u feel like giving up, when the material seems overwhelming or the effort too much. That’s when your mindset needs to kick in. The difference between success and failure isn’t about natural talent or born smart it’s about your ability to keep going when things get tough I'm talking about the material not burnout out .The truth is, hard work, perseverance, and adaptability are what lead to success not innate ability.Think of each week as a building block, each day as a step forward. Every time you study, you’re not just learning the material you’re evolving. You’re becoming more disciplined, more capable, and more confident. Even on the days when you feel like you’ve made little progress, remind yourself that you’re making small, consistent strides. These small changes compound over time

good luck !

How your disabled character's allies react to their disability can make or break the representation in your story: Writing Disability Quick Tips

[ID: An image with “Writing Disability quick tips: How your character's allies react to their disability matters” written in chalk the colour of the disability pride flag, from left to right, red, yellow, white, blue and green. Beside the text are 2 poorly drawn people icons in green, one is standing with their hand up to the face of the other, who is in a wheelchair. /End ID]

Something I brought up in my big post about Toph Beifong was how the other characters reacted to Toph pointing out that things were not accessible to her and setting boundaries regarding her disability, which were ignored. I had more to say about it than I thought I did, as it turns out (when isn't that the case lol) but I feel like this is an important aspect of disability representation that is all too often over looked.

You can write the best, most accurate portrayal of a specific disability ever put to screen or page, but it won't mean much if all the other characters, specifically those we're supposed to like and empathise with, treat your character terribly for being disabled and having needs relating to said disability, especially if the story justifies their behaviour.

You see this most often with autistic characters and especially autistic-coded characters. The character in question will be given a bunch of autistic traits, most often traits relating to not understanding certain social dynamics or sarcasm, and when they get it wrong, the other characters we are supposed to like jump down their throat, tease them or outright abandon them. Autism isn't the only disability that gets treated this way, but it is one of the more common ones that get this treatment. It doesn't matter if you do everything else right when creating an autistic character if the other "good guys" constantly call them annoying, get angry at them or laugh at them for the very traits that make them autistic, or for advocating for their needs.

Likewise, if you have a leg amputee character who is otherwise done well, but is constantly being criticised by their allies for needing to rest their legs or taking too long to get their prosthetics on, it undermines a lot of the other work you've done. Same goes for having a wheelchair user who is accused of being a bore or a stick in the mud because they point out the places their friends want to go to on a group holiday have no wheelchair access, or a deaf character who is accused of being entitled for wanting their family to learn to sign, or anything else.

This isn't to say you can never have moments like these in your stories, but its important to remember that a) people with the same disability as your character will be in your audience. If you spend a whole season of your TV show shaming your autistic character for real traits that real autistic people have, they're not exactly going to feel welcome and may not want to hang around. b) it's going to very, very heavily impact people's perceptions of your "heros" who do this, especially in they eyes of your audience members who share the character's disability or who have had similar experiences. This isn't like calling someone a mean name or being a bit of a dick when you're sleepy, it's going to take a lot to regain audience appeal for the offending character, and depending on exactly what they do and how frequently they do it, they may not even be able to come back from it at all. And finally, c) there should be a point to it outside of just shaming this character and saying the other guy is an asshole. Like I said before, you're character is criticising real people's real disabilities and the traits or problems that come with them, things that they often have no control over, it shouldn't be used as a cheap, quick way to establish a quirky enemies to lovers dynamic or show that one guy is kind of an ass before his redemption arc. If you really must have your characters do this, be mindful of when and how you use it.

Some tips to protect more your creations on tumblr

Go to your blog settings and scroll down. Activate these options in your account.

✓ Hide [your blog name] from people without an account

✦ Your blog and posts will not be recommended to others, will be excluded from Tumblr search results, and the in-blog search function will be disabled for everyone, including you.

✦ People without an account won't be able to see your creations.

✦ The gifs will also be in WebP format, which makes it harder to save and republish.

✓ Discourage external searching of [your blog name]

✦ External search engines like Google or Yahoo will be discouraged from indexing your blog and showing it in search results. It is ultimately up to them to honor your request.

✦ This second option ensures that your gifs are not shared (smaller) on image search engines when someone searches for gifs from a particular fandom.

★ You can add this to your theme if you use one. Here the code. You need to add it under <head> in your theme.

✦ This will prevent from using the right-click option to save your blog content.

★ Put a watermark on your gifs as it helps to know who they belong to.

✦ Even if maybe, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be stolen, but it adds a deterrent all the same. Pinterest is one of the worst site, because so many gifs are republished here. And it's hard to track down the source afterwards.

Feel free to communicate when you see a blog reposting gifs, it will be shared on this account, add #repostersource or come directly submit a message. With the source of the real creator would be a bonus.

[lamusedhermes]

Stop sharing your goals, vision boards, new year resolutions with the public. Share the results and the accomplishments only.

ehmm.. hie.. sis... i don't really know how to frame this question i have because.. u see .. I am not really a girl but.. I wish (desperately) I was born one .. unfortunately, I can't even indulge into feminine things in real life but dearly I wish I would atleast feel the femininity in my heart and I don't know I can achieve that.. i mean.. if u understand what I really mean.. but I hope u get it... ohh and your posts are really something.. keep up the good work sis..

✧˖° femininity is not about permission ✧˖°

(a guide to feeling feminine, even when the world says you can’t)

@glowettee | mindy

hi angel, first of all. come here. let me hold your hands for a sec. let me tell you something true: you are not less of who you are just because the world doesn’t see it yet. you don’t need their validation. you don’t need permission. your femininity is yours, and it has always, always belonged to you.

so let’s talk about this. let’s talk about ways you can feel soft, beautiful, delicate, divine, fully yourself. even when your reality isn’t making space for it yet.

✧˖° step one: reclaim femininity as something internal

the world teaches us that femininity is about looks... the hair, the makeup, the dresses. but real femininity? starts inside. it’s in the way you nurture, in the way you dream, in the way you feel.

so start there. even if you can’t express it externally right now, you can still: ➝ romanticize softness. let yourself be gentle, loving, graceful in the way you move through the world. ➝ embody feminine energy. the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, the way you care for others. it’s all part of it. ➝ think feminine. speak to yourself like you’re the most delicate, beautiful thing to exist. let your inner world be a safe, pink, glowing space where you are fully her.

✧˖° step two: let yourself secretly have it

i know there are things stopping you from fully expressing it outwardly, but who says you can’t sneak it in? make it yours in little ways, in ways only you know about.

➝ wear perfume. something sweet, something floral, something that makes you feel like your feminine self. ➝ keep something soft, just for you. maybe a silk ribbon in your pocket, a delicate bracelet under your sleeve, a pretty notebook where you write your thoughts like love letters. ➝ play a secret game with yourself. give yourself a feminine name in your head, one that makes you feel you.

✧˖° step three: create a sacred feminine space

even if you can’t express it fully in your day-to-day life, you can carve out a private world where your femininity exists freely.

➝ a playlist of songs that make you feel like the main character. ➝ a secret pinterest board full of your aesthetics, your dream looks, the version of you that feels most real. ➝ a small corner in your room, a little shelf, a box. filled with things that make you feel beautiful.

your femininity doesn’t have to be loud. it can be quietly yours, a safe, sacred place where you get to exist exactly as you are.

✧˖° step four: connect with feminine energy around you

sometimes, femininity feels unreachable because we don’t see enough of it reflected back at us. so seek it out. surround yourself with it in whatever ways you can.

➝ read books by women who make you feel understood. ➝ watch movies that celebrate femininity. not just the aesthetics, but the power of it. ➝ listen to women who make you feel seen, even if they don’t know you.

the more you absorb feminine energy, the more it becomes a part of you.

✧˖° step five: remind yourself. this is yours

you are not less feminine just because you can’t fully express it yet. you are not any less real just because the world doesn’t see you the way you wish it did.

your femininity is yours. it’s in your heart, in your mind, in the way you dream about it. and that? can never be taken from you.

so hold onto it, angel. protect it. cherish it. and one day? you’ll get to live in it fully, beautifully, openly. i believe that for you. i believe in you.

with love, mindy
