[twig-tea]

With 23.5 finally coming out, the people are rejoicing at finally getting a high profile gl from GMMTV. But there have already been several gls airing this year, including my fav TsukuTabe, that have been flying under the radar with fandom, and in general there are more gls already out there than folks seem to think. I just know you have a list of all the gls we should be watching, please share with the class!

Thank you for the ask! How did you know I had a draft of GL recs to make at some point? [Trick question, I mentioned it to you.]

It may seem like I'm out here hating on GL because i've made a couple of negative reviews of recently airing series recently (Love Senior and Chaser Game W in case you're curious) but I actually have lots of GL that I love and that I wish were better known! Thanks for sending this ask so I am inspired to actually finish it! I've limited myself to series so that I could keep the list and this post to a reasonable length. Where possible I've listed where you can find each of these and included a link. And I've included an 'elevator pitch' summary but I am NOT in marketing for a reason, so please don't roast me too hard for my terrible comparisons. Alright, enough waffling!

Twig's GL Rec List

She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat S1 & 2 (Japan, 2022 & 2024, both seasons fansubbed by @furritsubs; if you need help accessing this show feel free to DM me!)

Elevator pitch: Our Dining Table with lesbians and an even slower burn. Watch for beautiful food, acespec rep, mental health and therapy rep

What might turn some off: Extremely low heat, and quite slow-moving; warning for a disordered eating and family trauma plot (v gently handled)

Let's start with the one you've already mentioned. This is a heartwarming slice-of-life slow burn in which an autismspec-coded woman who likes to eat is invited by her neighbour, a femme acespec woman who loves to cook, to come and eat her food. It starts from a very practical place (when you love making food you need someone to help eat it), but their relationship grows as they spend more time together. The story follows them as they both move towards self-actualization in several ways: as a lesbian, as asexual, at work, with their families, with their friends, with each other. This show is so careful to say the important words aloud. And there is so much delicious cooking! Each episode highlights a particular recipe, and the food porn is real. Do not watch while hungry, but definitely watch. The found famiy vibes in this one one are also immaculate.

She Makes My Heart Flutter (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Younger lesbian friend group tries to help out (slightly) older lesbian bar owner with mixed success. I can't think of a good BL equivalent, The Moment Since feels the closest with its similar bartender/patron romance

What might turn some off: Comedic tone; short runtime; struggles with being closeted

This is a gem of a miniseries about a bar owner and an interior designer who smoulder at one another while an intrepid group of younger bar regulars (including the bar owner's neice) meddle. This series is really cute, solid, and full of sapphics! Once again found family vibes are immaculate (you may sense a theme in my faves). Run don't walk.

Fragrance of the First Flower (Taiwan, 2021, GagaOOLala)

Elevator pitch: Right-person-wrong-time/second chance romance; tonally is a little like We Best Love 2: Fighting Mr. 2nd but with an ambiguous ending.

What might turn you off: Medium heat, second chance romance means they break up once, internalized homophobia, adultery/cheating, at one point there's a creepy dude, child with autism (depicted well), ambiguous ending

At its core this is a story of a woman who can't stop getting in the way of her own happiness. This series is a little more sad than the rest of this rec list but I couldn't not include it because this relationship is so poignant. Plus there's a s2 that supposedly is to come out in 2024 so maybe we'll get our happy ending after all?

Love Greater Than or Equal to 70 Degrees C (Korea, 2019, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Ingredients but with lesbians staring at one another over beautiful tea pairings! What more could you ask for?

What might turn you off: Low heat; short runtime; ambiguous ending; like Ingredients this is essentially a long ad for the café it's filmed at.

This is a Korean miniseries about passionate tea sommeliers making really fancy tea while staring at one another a LOT. Perfect sapphic representation, 10/10 no notes. This one packs a lot of the drama tropes into its short runtime, so even though it's short it's full of butterfly-inspiring moments.

Sleep With Me (Philippines, 2022, GagaOOLala/iWantTFC/Netflix w/VPN set to Philippines)

Elevator pitch: The Truth About Cats and Dogs but the self esteem issues are handled without catfishing. BL equivalent: Hmmm. Closest I can think of is Gaya Sa Pelikula.

What might turn you off: There's some ableism (treated as such) in this show; Open ending.

Stellar GL between a late night radio DJ and an insomniac who listens to her show. One of the main couple is a wheelchair user and the show tackles ablelism and navigating disability in relationship as well as feelings of inadequacy in a relationship and how that manifests as interpersonal conflict.

Our Relationship Ended Before it Began (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Along the lines of I Cannot Reach You; the show gives both perspectives and they are held back by queer angst.

What might turn you off: No kiss (but they make it very clear both want to kiss), internalized homophobia

Really sweet miniseries about having a crush and being afraid of being hurt so you don't actually make a move. I really like the way the girl who has not dated a girl before defaults to gender roles and it throws the more experienced lesbian lol I also really like the way this show makes clear that both of them are waiting for a kiss, and that if you get in your head about things, it can get in the way of your own happiness!

Pearl Next Door (Philippines, 2020, Youtube)

Elevator Pitch: Gameboys but with lesbian vloggers.

What might turn you off: Love triangle, lots of teasing but low heat in the end, a lot of (good) conversations about mental health issues, ambiguous ending

This is the GL spinoff to Gameboys, starring Pearl from Gameboys. Pearl ends up being fought over by the two gorgeous women in the gif, an old love and a new. I love the queer friendships in this story as much as the relationships. I will say it's an open ending (that felt a bit like the showrunners didn't want to decide between ships) and definitely the love triangle features prominently but even in the face of these aspects that would normally turn me off a series I had a good time. The characters and interpersonal conflicts feel very real, and are allowed to be complex even when the show tone is comedic.

Dear Uranus (Taiwan, 2021, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Schoolgirl ensemble GL; a little like My School President but without the singing.

What might turn you off: Short runtime; ambiguous ending; a little bit of bullying; very standard romance trope execution

The first Taiwanese GL miniseries, this series was produced by a Taiwanese lesbian couple (Rabbit & Wolf)! Lots of excellent drama tropes, and incredibly gorgeous women (I think the entire watching audience fell in love with Erol.

Lily Fever (Korea, 2015, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Complete crack; YYY but with more kissing and frankly an even less coherent story.

What might turn you off: The lack of coherent plot; less a romance and more a very thirsty lesbian kissing everyone she can

This miniseries is utter chaos. Nothing really makes sense, it's all just random excuses to cause very suggestive moments (and kissing) to happen. I love so much how this series depicts women being so absolutely thirsty for one another (and yes that date isn't a typo, this series is ~9 years old). Not an "happy ever after" ending but it really isn't that kind of story.

Chasing Sunsets (Philippines, 2020, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: Ocean Likes Me with lesbians. Resort romance with a mental health twist.

What might turn you off: Some of the mental health stuff gets intense, this was filmed in 2020 so the pandemic features heavily; hopeful but slightly ambiguous ending.

A complex story from the Philippines covering mental health and finding yourself. A woman shows up to a resort and befriends one of the women running the resort. They get closer as they spend time together, and the resort owner realizes something is off. There's also a BL side couple in this series.

Show Me Love (Thai, 2023, YouTube)

Elevator pitch: A little like My Day the series with lesbians, in that they work together and fall in love and it's full of tropes

What might turn you off: The advertising for the Miss Grand competition, there is some bullying and cheating (though way less than I was expecting tbh), not a lot actually happens, the editing gets a bit wonky at the end

This is essentially a massive ad for the Miss Grand Thailand competition; this GL was produced by the same company that produces that competition, and the stars are mostly Miss Grand competitors. The main pairing were shipped in the actual competition, and the company decided to make a GL about them. It's very slow paced and low-stakes, and there are better kisses than I expected considering everything I just said about where this show came from. There are a lot of cute moments!

Girlfriend Project (Korea, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Love Class with lesbians

What might turn you off: One of the leads is kind of mean in that pgitail-pulling way? It ends abruptly (but happily)

This is a short miniseries about two girls paired in a class that are assigned to "date". The chemistry is chemistrying. And there is a kiss (a good kiss, and a tiptoes kiss at that!). This show also has one of my favourite tropes, in which someone who seems like a pushover stands up for themselves and their partner finds it very attractive. For the record, in this show they are watching another GL by the same company, Love Tech.

Lulu (Philippines, 2022, Vivamax/grey)

Elevator Pitch: Present Perfect with lesbians (but with a better ending).

What might turn you off: Depictions of panic attacks, brief depiction of drowning, pandemic lockdowns, illness, exes, waffling, happy but open ending (which I actually liked for this story)

Two women trying to move on from the garbage in their lives meet at the beach of a B&B (where one saves the other from drowning) and become one another's company during their escape and then something more. They both have baggage that seems determined to keep them apart even as they continue to be drawn together. In the end, they decide to stick it out and see where they end up, with no guarantee of happily ever after, which I found very sweet. Requires either a VivaMax account or searching the grey for it, but it's worth the effort (check MyDramaList comments for suggestions on where to find it). Plus one of the leads has a cactus as a pet.

Welcome to the Lesbian Bar (Korea, 2023, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: A little like Fudanshi Bartender but without the fudanshi bartender and all of the bar patrons are lesbians lol

What might turn you off: Short, can get a little bit preachy, abrupt ending

Cute short series with different very stories every episode as different patrons visit the bar. The stories range from women who have been together for awhile, to people meeting from an online app for the first time, to someone visiting a lesbian bar for the first time; and yet the story all weaves together in a way that's satisfying though ends abruptly. Includes some solid marriage equality propaganda.

GAP the Series (Thai, 2022, YouTube)

Elevator Pitch: Kind of the vibes of Together with Me but lesbians and in an office instead of school. Angry boss falls for charming new intern and

What might turn you off: This one is the highest heat of all these recs; homophobia especially amongst family, brief depictions of death by car, brief mentions of suicide, cheating, bullying, abuse of power in the office.

A list would not be complete without this one! Honestly the plot is a bit wobbly but the show is a lot of fun. The girls are very cute, the feelings and tension builds really well between them, the friend group is excellent, and in the special we get a wedding.

---

The rest of these have caveats of one kind or another, but i couldn't leave them off a rec list, so here are the side couples and censored stories that are still worth your time anyway (I might do a separate more detailed post for these, as well as for films, one day if there's interest):

Nevertheless (GL side; Korean, 2021, Netflix) Not sure it's worth watching a whole kdrama for side lesbians? Search soljiwan on youtube. They are great. Even the Netflix account stans them. I watched this (ngl, I watched the SolJiwan cut) as it aired and was constantly braced for it to let us down but it did not! A really good friends-to-lovers story.

Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area (GL side; Thailand, 2019, YouTube): These sapphics are messy and I love them. Decent conversation about dating someone with mental health issues in this series, and they're one of the only couples in this ensemble to get a happy ending. If you're just watching the lesbian couple (which you can, their story is pretty self-contained) you don't need to have seen s1.

Six Survivors (GL side; Japan, 2022, Viki) This show is a horror comedy and it is SO MUCH FUN. Warning for zombies and blood, but way less than you might think. One of the eponymous 6 survivors is a lesbian who keeps trying to convert them to veganism lol. If you watched Chaser Game W you'll recognize one of the actresses in this, the lead actress is from Kamisama no Ekohiiki, and one of the guys is from the prequel series His as well as I Want to See Only You! And yes there is a kiss. Also a surprising number of Mallrats references. Not for people who can't handle gore or relationships being complicated/not a "true love" story/ambiguous ending.

Kamisama no Ekohiiki (complicated question of is it GL in parts, Japan, 2021, furritsubs once again coming through to save the day) This one is a bit complex because there's bodyswap, but the girl who falls for the bodyswapped boy-in-a-girl's-body is clear that she is only interested in the girl. One of the better bodyswap stories because the bodyswap is not a secret for very long, so instead there's a lot of introspection about what gender means and who/what they are attracted to. Feels wrong to call this GL, necessarily, but it's very queer.

Couple of Mirrors (Censored GL, China, 2021, Viki) Story of a rich girl and her assassin girlfriend. This production did an amazing job getting away with what they could, just don't watch the last five minutes and we've got essentially a happy lesbian family.

Legend of Yunze (Censored GL, China, 2021, @douqi7s) Very cute very low budget xianxia miniseries with two seasons and a special. The special is set in modern times in a future lifetime so if you want a cute censored-but-clearly-a-soulmate-love-story this is the one for you. Don't be thrown off by the weird cuts/abrupt episode endings, that's in line with cdramas in general.

Led Astray by Love (Censored GL, China, 2021, @douqi7s) A very fun and adorable isekai story in which a modern day girl is transported to a wuxia novel setting and has to figure out how to get home, and gets romanced by the princess along the way.

And a few additional links for people who even more content:

My Indian sapphic webseries rec list

My suggestions for content with toms (Thai category that's similar to but not exactly the same as butch lesbians) in response to this post.

This really good GL MyDramaList list (not made by me!) lists what seems to be everything I've mentioned and about 200 more. Even I haven't seen a few of these!

My YouTube playlist of sapphic content: This includes anything I stumble across or find in my searches, a lot of music videos and random shorts as well as some microseries and miniseries that I don't consider GL but are WLW/sapphic in addition to true "GL" content. For serialized content, I add just the first ep. A complete mess, but you can trawl through to find stuff to watch, like Hetero!

SOONOTSUE: The same producers of She Makes My Heart Flutter have other short series on their channel worth checking out; if you liked that one, try Out of Breath!

Shakeshoulder: Thai YouTube producers of very pulpy (read: low budget and dramatic plots) shorts

FuFuKnows: This YouTube channel is owned by a gay Taiwanese couple that produces shorts every week, including some with GL mains and sides. These are very low budget but cover a whole swath of queer themes.

@douqi7s is a godsend providing subtitles for all kinds of content, including sapphic shorts and more series than I've listed here. Check their tumblr for links to all of their content; A Practical Guide to Being a Superstar's Assistant has one of the best setups to giving us great moments in the guise of something else so that they get past censorship I've ever seen; I also recommend The Vampires if you're into genre fiction, as well as Legend of Yunqian if you enjoyed the xianxia parts of Legend of Yunze. @wlwcatalogue did an excellent summary of many of the non-wuxia options here.

Quick pitch for the streaming platform GagaOOLala; it's affordable, has a ton of content, including a whack of GLs (originals, license series, and a ton of shorts), and is run by queer people out of Taiwan who care about good quality queer content being made and having an audience, and using the soft power from those successful series to support social change. And if you can't afford a subscription it's worth checking out what they have for free, they open up temporary free access to some things for various events throughout the year.

In searching for gifs for this post I found fellow tumblr user @drowningparty 's WLW compendium list; they've listed more series and films so check it out if you still need more content!

*wipes sweat off brow* that should be enough to be getting on with, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg! If there's something specific you want to see with sapphics let me know and I can tell you if I know it exists. Anyway, I hope this gives you and everyone else a taste of what all is out there! I of course always want more, I am serious about being a sapphic dragon hoarding every crumb i can get my lizardy hands on, but I do think what we have should also be appreciated more. If I missed one of your faves, please tell me!

Introduction

Hullo, I'm Batty (he/they). I'm 29 and genderfluid.

Stuff to be aware of before interacting with me:

minors & ageless blogs DNI.

I am here for platonic friendships only. No online romances please and thank you.

My blog is intended to be SFW, but to me that term is rather indistinct. So as far as content goes: I'm a sex-repulsed ace person only interested in platonic interaction. The content I put out reflects that :)

I try to use trigger/content warnings whenever possible. If there's a new trigger you'd like me to tag in the future, or a tag you'd like me to add to a previous post, I am happy to do that for you. Just drop me a line in a dm, ask, comment, or whatever you find easiest.

I won't judge you for taking forever to reply to DMs, so long as you don't judge me for the same.

Other random tidbits...

I'm in a blissful queerplatonic-ish relationship with Kirby, my roommate/best friend/partner. We just moved to the East Coast (USA), with a shy cat who is nearly impossible to photograph.

Beyond pronouns, I almost always prefer to be referred to in either neutral or maaculine language. For instance, my roommate occasionally calls me her boyfriend in conversation, and my neice refers to me as her uncle. Tbh I'm still kinda questioning my gender at this point, so don't be surprised if I have to update this bio.

Oh yeah, and I'm into tickling. Hence this blog.

99.999% lee

(used to call myself a ler only - see this post if you like reading origin stories lol)

Got a soft spot for tummy tickles. 🙈

I'm only comfortable being touched in the torso region (under arms, ribs, tummy, sides).

Only here for gentle, affectionate, friendly tickling. No BDSM, no bondage.

Thanks for reading!

[citrusbunnies]

terrifying part of being friends with your dm is you get random ominous messages. due to Schenanigans were limited to about 3 or 4 sessions to:

free a villain trapped in a mind control mask, and the angel he has trapped.... somewhere??? idk

fight the evil goddess whos had 3 other masked we freed and an ex player (who had to leave the campaign early and who we had to kill :/ couldnt save him) under mind control masks

fight the goddess in charge of said angels pantheons bc shes manipulative asf and is basically an abusive mother figure to all the angels so theyre gonna kill her to put another angel in her spot at the top of the heavenly council

decurse a friend of ours who got cursed bc of a magic fire that when extinguished grants one person at random a curse and one at random a blessing. the curse is basically an eternal chronic pain flare up :/ not like gonna kill him but still sucks and hes helped us a bunch so we wanna save him if at all possible. the blessing was an npc who got killed (idr his actual name we always call him squid grandpa) got brought back to life blue force ghost style

AND we have to resolve my characters arc (long long story short raised by her uncle a cultist of bhaal (who in this universe is a pseudonym of said evil mask goddess) and she cares about him a lot bc he raised her well murder cult notwithstanding but she left the cult to become a paladin of torm god of sacrifice (specified as god of self sacrifice and martyrdom for the greater good in this universe bc sotaria the evil goddess with the masks is the goddess of sacrifices ripped from the unwilling basically) so she has to try and either convince him to leave the cult he dedicated his own and his sons' lives too and killed his own sister brother in law and neice for (unlikely TvT) or to kill the man who raised her and taught her about the world and her orcish culture and tried to hide her empathy for the sacrifices from the rest of the cult out of love for her) so yeah drama all around <3

i asked him if id be emotionally fine after these sessions and he deadass said no pray for me yall

ill ask if hes cool w me posting more abt the campaign just to be sure so expect more maybe im v proud of the lore i made for my character (half orc paladin :3)

[katie-wants-donut]

Right before I went on my 5 day break from tumblr, I drew this picture of Jackie and @sarispy56 's OC, Dinah and didn't get to post it.

I've kinda wanted to draw Dinah for a while tbh, I love her design and she's so cute!

[voidofcitrine]

"I dont get pedophile vibes from drake. This is a reach". What vibes you get doesnt change anything??? Its been WELL DOCUMENTED that drake, a 33 year old man, has a pattern of becoming involved with kids.

Theres videos of him kissing and dancing up on a 17 year old kid at a concert.

Millie Bobbie Brown was 14 when she met and "befriended" Drake. He proceeds to text her late at night about her love life.

Bella Harris was 16 when she met and "befriended" Drake. A couple years later he SHUT DOWN A WHOLE RESTAURANT to have a date night with her.

Drake met Hailey Baldwin when she was 14 and he was 24. It became public when they were 19 and 29 that they were dating.

Drake is very public about his interest in very young women. Maybe hes not dating or sleeping with these kids. But he's clearly okay with crossing lines and boundaries that aren't appropriate with teenagers. This is grooming if nothing else. And it's still wrong.

now Billie Eilish saying that Drake stays texting her and that's like the fourth underaged girl to say that she texts him a lot or get hit on by him (that we know of) so can y'all stop acting like the pedophilic behavior is some weird coincidence and not a man preying on young girls? that man is THIRTY FUCKING THREE. fuck is he texting a 17 year old for. I should beat his ass.

[olderthannetfic]

Hello, I’m a very anxiouse proshipper and I’m looking for guidence I guess. For context in 2016, I was a part of the undertale fandom, and the popular problematic ships at the time where frans and fontcest. When drawing fontcest, I got a horiffic message in my inbox, going into detaile about ilr animal abuse related to some fontcest art I drew, and I’ve been turned off to being openly proship since. Throught the years I’ve been feeling very fucked up about calling myself proship, or making anything problematic. At one point I drew vrabbit (fnaf), and HCed him as a pedo cuz that’s the most obviouse vibes he gave off. I never drew him doing anything pedophilic, though I did draw him around his own (killed and robotociced) kids, and got a callout post made on my (that has now since been half deleted, I say half because it was initially a post made under a keep reading, and that og post is gone, but reblogs of the post remain). Recently Encanto came out, and the new ship there was an uncle and neice ship of bruno and mirabel, so of course I drew some art about it, but was scared to post it. And when I finally did, some people got upset at me, understandably so, but instead of ppl just blocking me and leaving, they would confront me directly, saying my art was now tainted, or that they hated me for “normalizing their abuse” (i’ve been abused too, I think, I don’t know if it counts as “real abuse” anymore because it was just sexual assult, and that feels like it’s the bottom of the barrel in comparason to someone being raped on the daily). But it sucks, because I’ve always been into this stuff, I don’t know why, I don’t know if I’m coping, I don’t know if something’s severely wronge with me, I asked my therapist once and they said so long as it’s art, it shouldn’t matter and it’s fine, but I feel like a shitty human being on a near constant basis when I start thinking about it. I’ve remade my blog like 2 times already, I’m wondering if I should do it again, this time just be more clear that I’m proship, or if I should just shut the hell up, because I don’t want more people coming to me about irl animal death. Like I don’t even take these ships all that seriously, I’m just some ace guy putting my kinks onto characters, I don’t care that characters are naked cuz a body that doesn’t arouse me on it’s own, and I want to be able to hc characters as something horrible ontop of how horrible they already are, like vrabbit was litterally murdering children, who’s to say he’s not some repressed pedo trying to counteract that shit with child murder instead? Idk, I don’t know if any of this was consistent, I just want to know if I should even be worrying about this shit or not, if I should start over again, or if I should just give up and forget the ritual of making art and posting it online in the hopes that someone sees it and thinks “ah, I vibe with that”. I’m just, tiered, man. Sorry to come to you with all this shit.

--

Nonnie, I think you need to talk to your therapist again.

Humans have all kinds of wacky fantasies. Nothing especially bad ever happened to me, and I was looking at snuff stories on the internet as a 13-year-old. Nothing you're into is unusual, and the way you're engaging with it sounds pretty mild and no big deal.

If you feel awful on a daily basis, that's about anxiety or self esteem or depression, not any realistic reaction to your art. Your therapist needs to hear how much you're struggling.

I don't think you need to use the word 'proship' if you don't feel like it. I no longer use it for myself because it's far too tame and watered down for my actual views.

Remake or don't, but turn off all anon asks or the equivalent on every platform. Accept DMs only from people you follow. Block early and often. Post your stuff, but make it very clear you have a zero tolerance policy for jackasses.

[empiresblrmybeloved]

How To Describe Visual Content: A Short Guide For Chatbotters

Hello, everyone! It’s Mary!! So, I figured I would start this out with a quick explanation on what Image Describing is, since some of you may be unaware of what it is and what it’s used for.

Image Descriptions give accessibility to visual content for people who use screen readers (example: blind people) by providing detailed descriptions of what’s going on in a photo, gif, or video.

Being that this is a roleplay community, it’s very rare that you’ll see people come by who use these tools. But, I feel like, since it’s also a writers community, it’s very useful to know just in case.

Let’s start off with an example description of...This gif of Yves from LOONA. Since it’s fairly simple overall.

[ ID: A gif of Yves from the girl group LOONA. She’s pictured from the shoulders-up, facing the camera. Her hair is long, brown, and falling over her shoulders. She’s wearing a colourful knitted jacket with a white, collared shirt underneath it. She is shown with a toothy smile, giving a thumbs up to the camera with her right hand. The background is an old-looking room with concrete floors, there’s a ballet bar behind her, and behind that is a window that overlooks a city. END ID. ]

Now, let’s tear that description apart and explain the contents. 

I usually list descriptions in this general order. But you may change it up if you want.

Content type

Name of idol

Group type

Group name

Direction/where they’re looking

Hair description, usually going in the order of length, colour, and then style

Clothes

Expression and movement

Background

Watermark (if there is one)

If there’s multiple pieces of content it goes like this after that. Don’t include the direction if they’re not pictured the same way in every piece of content.

Content Name 1: Direction/Where they’re looking, clothes if they’re different, expression, and movement.

Content Name 2: Same thing as before. Let’s say there’s only two. You would put your closer at the end of this one. END ID. ]

Misc. Explanations

[ ID: . This is the start of the description. It’s so people know that this is a description of the content right from the start. Other variations of this could be Image Description:, [ Image Description: ], ID:, really anything works as long as it gets the point across. ID stands for Image Description.

END ID: ]. This is the end of the description. It’s so people know that the description has ended and the next additions (if there are any) aren’t part of the ID. As well as that, some screen readers (cough cough my own screen reader) tend to ignore periods and just pretend that they don’t exist, therefore making a run-on sentence.

Movement and How Do Other Things

“How do I describe movement????” You may ask. Well, first of all know your lefts and rights. Second of all, be very observant. You don’t need to provide extensive detailed descriptions of how they’re moving, just a simple “they’re giving a thumbs up” will do. Anything works, really.

You can practice describing movement by doing those actions to see how those movements feel. For example, throwing a ball at a wall could feel forceful and lively, so you would describe it as such.

Most of all, you don’t have to be good at writing, nor do you have to ID anything. But, anything and everything is so helpful to providing accessibility. You could even do just [ ID: a gif of Yves from LOONA. ] and that could be more than enough.

I really hope this provided some basic help. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a DM or send an ask!

A little plug here, but if any of you are interested in this kind of thing and would be interested in helping provide IDs in the k-pop community in general, feel free to contact my main @trans-nct! I’m always looking for more help.

Love,

Aunt Mary

[birtas-adoptive-family]

Birta (she/her), blue dragonborn and oathbreaker paladin, and Fenraiir, her f(r)iendly wolf steed. Stats: 18str, 11dex, 13con, 10int, 14wis, 18cha. Fighting Style: great weapon fighting - and never anything else! Signature Spell: Find Steed. Favourite song: Feeling Good by Nina Simone.

Wielding the anime-sized lightning greatsword Susano’o, Birta is the mum-friend of the party. She is the adoptive mother of Kitt the tielfing druid and Journey, her neice and tiefling sorcerer. Married to Geoff the shifter cleric. She has many siblings, but most notably the evil red dragonborn Torinn (Journey’s biological father.) During a fight with the vampire Carvell, Birta lost her right eye and horn, and was inflicted with a curse of hatred, twisting her magic and forcefully breaking her oath of devotion. Her family is mostly silver and blue dragonborn, with red and black uncommon. Raised in the peaks of Kysrod, she became a refugee after a cataclysmic attack on the city, finding home in Muhizi. Her steed Fenraiir, previously a celestial horse called Artax, now takes the form of a fiendish black wolf with a purple gossamer/static charge. He loves pets, especially Kitt’s ocelot Jellybean, although Jellybean is suspicious of the magical wolf.

She was previously designed as a paladin of Bahamut, but after the campaign switched DMs, settings and vastly different styles, she was resheeted. Her previous weapon, a cold greataxe called Tsukuyomi, no longer recognises her, treating her as a foe, leading to Birta carrying it around in thick bandages so as to not damage herself.

I’m sick, taking care of both my infant neice and my grandmother with dementia, doing school work and preparing for a pre production meeting this weekend so needless to say my activity will be very scattered but I’m vaguely around if anyone wants to dm about plots or whatever. Still down for anything non-romantic (no hook ups, exes, FWBs etc)

OOC:

I finally cooked dumplings well enough to eat! 

Also DnD session was amazing and now there’s more stockholme syndrome things happening.  Long story short burned down a teens house/parents cuz he tried to rebel against the baron we are working for....he gave me some info on the priestess who was resurrecting her dead son, killed them and gave the kid the chicks cross as payment but I forgot he was in a cell around other rebels so he’s in my characters protection. The kid gets to our base, I leave to get him some armour, my Roc pulls a Lassie and there’s a fire started by the sheriff and her neice duking it out, we end the fight get the kid outta there and stay at the jail for the night to sleep....I have my character stay in the same cell as the kid cuz I gotta protect him and as i’m getting home my DM msgs me and is like So, the kid is gonna try to sleep with yours and i’m like okay. So yeah...this has really turned into some stockholme syndrome/abusive weird ass relationship.

 Currently maintaining a low profile in Bed-Stuy, definitely maybe in contact with some other Brooklynites. --- Largely a mash-up of 616 (heavily Fraction's run) and MCU. Definitely not married with children. Laura Barton is actually Barney's (his brother) wife and the kids are his neice and nephews.  Clint helps out as much as he can since Barney spends a lot of time in and out of prison. Mostly deaf, fluent in ASL, has a dog with one eye, and a complicated relationship with Natasha Romanoff.  Then there's Katie Kate. Bobbi. Steve... You know what? Some things are better left unexplained.
