Disability Pride flag + Star Wars

Image description: 7 panels toned in the colours of the disability pride flag, with text indicating their meanings, with backdrops of Disabled characters in Star Wars.

1: A black-toned panel that says "BLACK" and "commemoration + mourning". The pictures are of a community carrying out a funeral march for Maarva Andor, a Disabled leader and organiser, Hera Syndulla mourning Kanan Jarrus, her Blind spouse, and Poe Dameron mourning Leia Organa, a Disabled woman and leader.

2: A green-toned panel that says "GREEN" and "sensory disabilities". The pictures are of Kanan Jarrus and Chirrut Îmwe, both Blind people.

3: A blue-toned panel that says "BLUE" and "emotional + psychiatric disabilities". The pictures are of Obi-wan Kenobi and Reva Sevander, who both have mental health disabilities that include flashbacks, and of Leia Organa, whose actress was bipolar, and who described herself and Leia as being so similar it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began.

4: A gold-toned panel that says "GOLD" and "neurodiversity". The pictures are of Theron Shan, who has a different neurotype to the one he was expected to at birth, Hardcase, who has hyperactivity, and Yoda (who is also a mobility aid user) and Jedi younglings, who all have a different neurotype (Force-sensitivity) from the norm. In the picture of Yoda and the younglings, he is talking about how he values how their minds work differently from other peoples'.

5: A red-toned panel that says "RED" and "physical disabilities". The pictures are of Saw Gerrera, an amputee who uses supplementary oxygen and a staff as a mobility aid, Weazel, who has dwarfism, Luke Skywalker, an amputee, and Lando Calrissian, a cane user.

6: A white-toned panel that says "WHITE" and "invisible + undiagnosed [disabilities]". The pictures are of Finn, who was unaware of his neurodivergence for the first decades of his life, Cere Junda, who has trauma, and Greez Dritus, who has an addiction.

7: A black-toned panel that says "BLACK" and "rage, protest + rebellion". The pictures are of Chirrut Îmwe and Kanan Jarrus fighting in the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire, Reva Sevandar fighting against one of its enforcers, screaming in rage at somebody who traumatised her, Maarva Andor giving a posthumous speech encouraging rebellion, and Leia Organa giving orders to Rebellion fighters who are about to engage the Empire. /End.

Happy Disability Pride Month.

Trigger Warning: ablism, abuse, eugenics, neglect and suicide.

Here are my thoughts on the Disability Pride Flag:

I like the Disability Pride flag as it respects all disabilities and disabled people. It would be nice to see it more in the media like the LGBTQI+ flag because about 20% of the world's population is disabled and it is important for us disabled people to see ourselves represented.

The colour black is a colour of mourning for disabled people who have died as victims of ablism, abuse, neglect, suicide, illness and eugenics. I believe it's very important to remember the lives that have been lost to these causes and I hope one day disabled people will live without fear of any of these causes of death.

The colour green represents sensory Disabilities such as deafness and blindness. I think Deaf/ deaf people are clever because they have created many signed languages and I am learning Auslan (Australian Sign Language) which has become a special interest to me. Braille was invented by a blind man named Louis Braille who invented the style of text when he was only 15 years old. Braille is widely used by the blind population today.

Blue represents psychiatric disabilities. Which is important to me as someone with Agoraphobia. Agoraphobia isn't referred to as being a Disability very often and I am glad that the flag recognises it as a Disability. Agoraphobia affects me everyday and makes everyday things really hard for me too do or even impossible for me to do. I feel like Agoraphobia disabled me alot and people with Agoraphobia need more support and awareness.

White represents invisible disabilities and undiagnosed disabilities. As some with 2 hidden disabilities I feel like white represents me well. Alot of people with hidden disabilities get judged for using disabled parking and disabled toilets. Once I was judged for using disabled toilets at school as I was using them because I kept getting bullied in the girls toilets and the teachers told me to use the disabled toilets instead. I think judging people for using disabled toilets and disabled parking needs to stop and we should be considerate and aware that not all disabilities are visible. I think the sunflower lanyard is a great idea to make people aware of hidden disabilities. I also think more work should be done to make the wait for diagnosing Autism less long. Autistic diagnosis is important because Autistic people can have a sense of Autistic identity and get the support they need.

Yellow represents neurodiversity. Neurodiversity is a term used to express different kinds of brains. There are many different neurotypes which include Autism, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, Dementia, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome and many more. When one is neurodivergent it means that their brain is different to most people's brains. I myself am neurodivergent as I am Autistic. My grandfather is neurodivergent because he is dyslexic.

Red represents physical disabilities. There is a large range of physical disabilities which include Cerebal Palsy, Dwarfism, Limb differences, spinal cord injuries and many more. A physically disabled people may use mobility aids and the mobility aids they use may vary from day to day. I believe that buildings need to be more Accessible for people with physical disabilities. My best friend has a physical disability.

Thank you for taking time to read my article. I am proud of all the disabled people who have fought to make the world a better more inclusive place and a less ablest place. I hope the world will be a better and less ablist place and the future and the disability pride flag will be recognised by more people.

Image Description: This is a picture of the disability pride flag. The disability pride flag is black and has five diagonal stripes going across it. The stripes are each a different colour in this order: green, blue, white, yellow and red. End Description.

I know you're a Mad Pride Account But do you Make stuff/reblog stuff For Phyically disabled people?

Part Two of my last ask if you do for phyically disabled flags, is there one for Dwarfism?

Yes, we reblog physical disability flags. Currently the requests are closed. But eventually we'll able to keep with physically disabled flags.

Self Insert AU for your chaotic crack fic needs

When you get transported into the One Piece Universe, you can't choose where you end up in nor in which time. Even your age might be jumbled up.

Depending on where you end up, your memories of your old life will disappear until the crew or group you are in is featured in canon.

If you make a joke about something, it's very likely that the universe will make it happen just to fuck you up. For reference, see C and R making up a lost island that sunk into the sea only for it to re-emergence randomly in the New World right in front of their eyes.

No matter what you do, you can't change the canon plot.

You don't have a plot armour.

Mod specific headcanons under the cut.

Onto the specific headcanons of C and R:

C

C ends up in the same town where Luffy meets Zoro, only days before it happens, hence her memories aren't that jumbled up, but she can't remember her real life friends. She pretty much joins them there and then.

C has the habit of saying cryptic things and accidentally revealing things beforehand, like when someone important is about to join the Strawhats whom she has joined. The crew thinks that she can see into the future.

She also tends to start crying when she meets people who are good but have tragic pasts. Luffy starts to use this as an indicator for people being nice.

During the timeskip, C ended up eating a devilfruit, her devilfruit was Neko Neko Mi, Model: Toyger ver Dwarf. This means that she is essentially a Toyger breed of a regular housecat, who happens to have dwarfism and thus will never grow up bigger than a kitten.

C uses her devilfruit to sneak around, get out of trouble and to get a free lift from her crew members. R uses his fruit power to intimidate people and to fight, he also uses it to go unnoticed while he naps in the dark corners.

The majority of people assume that she is max 14 years old due to her petite form and mischievous nature. However, when reaching Wano, she’s actually 18.

C’s outfit is modeled after a cow; she adores them as she finds them cute. She wears tiny horns on her head and a dotted over dress on top of her blue dress. Her cat form also keeps the horns on it.

Her fighting style includes using these horns to inflict damage. She also has learned how to use armament haki during her training.

She spent three months stuck in her cat form due to not knowing how to control it. She has managed to awaken her fruit powers, which doesn’t really help her much aside from giving her extra speed and durability.

During one of the early calls between C and R, they joked about her having the will of D. Later on she learned that she infact DOES have that secret name and she actually carries the will of Portgas D. Rouge. She also resembles Rouge by her looks and sometimes says things that especially got the attention of Garp as he’d last heard the woman herself say them.

C made up an island just to avoid suspicion, claiming that it sunk to the bottom of the ocean only to find out that the island did infact exist.

She also claimed that R and her are childhood friends before her family moved to the East Blue from the North Blue.

In Wano, she learns about the backstory of herself and is left speechless.

She’s actively trying to set Law and R up for her own amusement, even going as far as claiming that he suffers from chronic anxiety which can be cured by slow socialisation (to earn his trust) and cuddles, but the latter must be done by someone the red head respects. Law accepted this as a fact until his mind caught onto it about a week later.

Her favourite colours are purple and green, she often wears brown and blue.

The fake Strawhats had two sets of her; a feral kitten and a giant hulking man with cat ears. Upon seeing this, C immediately called out how they got her motif wrong.

C often takes selfies in the most inconvenient places like right in front of Katakuri, Oven and Daifuku, which she then sends over to R. She also likes to avoid fighting in favour of watching the plot unfold itself.

R

R ends up 10 years into the past, into the office of the Revolutionary Army where he was found by Ivankov and Dragon. He is also now a child. Until he turns 19, he doesn't have any memory problems.

Ivan looks for a cure for R's memory loss, but she doesn't have much time as she's supposed to infiltrate a prison. She quite literally drops him into the hands of Trafalgar Law, explains the situation and leaves without allowing him to protest.

Due to R's shyness, he spends the next half a year silent, making the crew think that he might be actually mute only to later on burst into a song in an attempt to soothe someone. The crew never realises this though as they're used to hearing weird sounds in the submarine.

R uses in total three names in this universe: Ren (Revolutionary Army), Eli (Heart Pirates) and Nao (C, later on the Strawhats). They joke that he has just very long name and those are parts of it.The joke later on turns into reality making R's name be Reneli Nao much to his embarrassment.

During Ivan’s search for a doctor who could cure him, R ended up accidentally eating a devil fruit. The fruit was Zoan type, Neko Neko Mi, Model: Black Jaguar. However for convenience, he refers to it as panther fruit as that way nobody can tell for sure if it was leopard, snow leopard, tiger, lion or a jaguar (Panther is the class name of each of these large cats).

R has two bounties, one as Ren and other as Eli, the latter being his "pet" bounty. Whenever the marines see him in his human form, they refer to him as revolutionary army member rather than as a pirate. Somehow they never put together the fact that Eli and Ren are the same entity.

His bounty as Eli is only around 100 beries due to the marines assuming that the black jaguar form is his real form, and thus believing that he’s a pet.

Before the timeskip, R uses black sunglasses to block out the light as he is very light sensitive, post timeskip he's seen using a cap.

During a call, C joked about him being the illegitimate son of Shanks, in Wano this is confirmed to be the case and the duo swear to never joke again.

He too claimed to be from an island which sunk, only for it to turn up on old maps.

R is an awakened Zoan user, which grands him higher speed and durability.

He also has the habit of switching into another language unconsciously when he curses or insults people. He most often calls them fools in Hebrew, which the rest of the crew assumes having been the native language of the island he’s from.

Law is the only one who knows what he is saying, which makes situations where someone assumes that they’ve earned his trust because he’s “giving them a nickname” even funnier.

He knows how to use both rapier and a katana, his old sword was a rapier which he called Shoshannah after his mother (this means lily or a rose), his current sword is named after his real life brother’s cat, Mito, which in Japanese means serene water while in Italian it can mean myth.

During Zou, the only reason why he got hurt was because of his fruit powers suddenly activated making him loose his balance.

He calls Ivankov “mom” on multiple occasions.

His denden mushi was a gift from Ivankov, however, he just can’t bring himself to decorate it claiming that he’s waiting for the moment he’ll be able to pinpoint just what would reflect him and his personality accessory wise.

His trademark colours are orange, blue and purple, which you can find from his hat and the scarf he wears around his waist to help him carry his katana.

R is a terrible liar which he tries to make up for by turning conversations overly philosophical. Most often he ends up accidentally blurting warnings to his captain and crew.

He often challenges his captain without even realising it by asking questions like “Are you sure about that?” or calling something the stupidest thing he’s ever heard right to his face.

He seems to be immune to feeling intimidated by people to the point where it’s thought that he simply doesn’t have any self preservation instinct. Despite of this, R is very careful and plans his moves to ridiculous detail, trying to take in any possible threats and any potential change in the environment.

Law has a theory that R is the reincarnation of Corazon because he seems to know things that only Corazon would know. This theory was debunked once he learned that R is only 3 years younger than he is.

Other

C and R meet one another in Sabaody, where they both start to regain their lost memories. While they're running from the marines, they quickly catch up and exchange numbers so they can keep in touch.

C and R call regularly, but have trouble when someone else picks up, they both are very shy after all. This leads to moments where C asks Usopp to ask whoever had picked up if Nao was available and vice versa.

Penguin and Shachi have a stash of photos from the time R was stuck as a jaguar cub (when they thought that he was a lot younger and that the devil fruit was just a black cat). They tend to show them to C out of spite towards R, who still doesn’t talk that much.

There’s a third person (let’s call them K), who’s sailing with Boa Hancock, C and K haven’t met one another in the OPverse, but R has made sure that the two also manage to talk by giving them each other’s denden numbers.

K likes to mess with R and Law by referring to them as brothers or “cat men”.

R reunited with K when his captain was taking care of Luffy. The latter found R’s situation hilarious.

The denden mushi of C has purple and green stripes and tiny horns, K’s radiates  G A Y  because of glitter. K’s denden also holds a tiny pride flag.

Little People of America's Dwarfism Pride Flag!

Created by LPA (specific artist unknown), this flag celebrates people with dwarfism!

Image description: three photos of a green flag with a thin blue stripe along the side. Patches of lime and varying shades of green make an asymmetrical block pattern.

[a-little-revolution]

Totally feel free to let me know if this has already been discussed already! But , in your personal opinion, do you think the dwarfism pride flag should have more contrasting colors? I love that there's finally a flag to represent the community and it looks great, but from far away it might just read as a single block of green.

The only reason i even mention it is because i remember that some edits were made to the original disability pride flag as well once it was pointed out that the zigzag pattern could be serizure/migraine inducing. Which was easy to do since the creator of that particular flag was on tumblr.

Do you know if the dwarfism pride flag creator uses tumblr as well?

Or do you think that maybe its lack of contrast (therefore lessened visibility from far aware or to low-sighted folks) isnt really a problem? I wasn't even sure if it was really an issue or not lol, but I figure i'd ask your opinion just for the heck of it.

Hello! For those who aren't familiar, the dwarfism pride flag (design by Jon Morato and Margo Drew) is as shown above, and more information on the flag can be found here!

Photo Description: the dwarfism pride flag hanging vertically over a plain white background. It includes multiple shades of lime green and yellow blocks in varying sizes put together to make a sort of brick-like pattern.

(Note that the following is only my own personal opinion of the flag, and not in any way a critique or offence against the creators!)

I do agree that I would enjoy the flag more if there were more contrasting colours, and that it would be more visually accessible if there were. I would also love to see a triangle of the disability pride flag incorporated in it, similar to the inclusive LGBTQIA+ flag. Additionally, I worry that the colour green representing dwarfism has the potential to reminding folks of leprechauns.

All this to say, though, I really enjoy having a dwarfism pride flag come into popularity! For a long time it was only the ribbon - which left me with an odd feeling since often ribbons are associated with conditions that we're aiming to cure (like cancer or other illnesses). I hope that our flag continues to grow and evolve as our community does!

To my queer disableds and bipoc disableds,

My crip, spoonie, punk disableds.

To the ones holding the banners and the ones who were left behind,

A very happy disabled pride ❤️💛🤍💙💚
