I realised when I do amputee/limb difference characters I tend to make them acquired differences...so obviously I wanted to start diversifying that.

DAY NINETEEN: ICE CREAM DATE (FT. KANNA)!!

[ID: A colored digital drawing of Sara Chidouin, Kugie Kizuchi, and Kanna Kizuchi from Your Turn To Die. The three are sitting in an ice cream parlor in a booth with a view of the window.

Sara is wearing a purple short-sleeved turtleneck with designs of clouds and stars scattered all over. Over it, she wears light pink overalls and a loose, pale purple belt-like strap around her waist. She has ginger hair and violet eyes, as well as freckles and eyebags. She's blushing, one hand covering the bottom of her face as she giggles. There is a pink bowl in front of Sara, holding strawberry ice cream and a spoon. Kugie sits across from Sara, and has her head resting on her hands. She short, black hair that's slightly grown out, the bolt hairpiece sticking out of her hair, and dark brown eyes. She has beauty marks on her face, and she's winking. To the side of Kugie is a pink bowl similar to Sara's, though it holds apricot-flavored ice cream and a spoon. Kanna sits next to Kugie, one hand resting on the table and the other holding onto a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. has short, green hair topped off with a blue bucket. She has blue eyes and freckles that cover her skin, and a flower earring. She's wearing a yellow t-shirt, a black belt, and blue jean shorts. She also wears white socks and black shoes with straps. Beside Kanna is a foldable white cane with numerous stickers sticking on it.

There is a white table between the trio. They're sitting on pink booth seats. The floor is a pale orange, and the walls are a bright pink. The windows are tainted pink, giving the view of the crosswalk, street, and sky a pink-tint. The author's signature is written on Sara's booth seat, which reads; "Tachi!". End ID.]

I think the sale price of a game is intimately connected to its quality actually, I wouldn't be as harsh on a game for being short or having shallow gameplay if it didn't cost me 60 big ones, I mean 60 bungles that's blockbuster money, for 60 chonkies I want something big and meaningful that will stick with me, 60 whammies should not result in something I play for 2 days and put away

The third and final of the dishes that I cooked today, a few of these (reheated) will be the first of tomorrow's Festa Alla Cinque Cibi, the appetizer course. I make no claims to authentic Roman Jewish cooking in any of this, but these are perhaps the most hilariously well-sourced and yet non-authentic of the bunch: Burik Con Patata, from a recipe in Portico.

Traditionally these are boiled potato mixed with other savory ingredients, wrapped in a crepe-like pancake and pan fried. The recipe itself says that you can speed up the process by using egg roll wrappers instead of homemade crepes, and I love an egg roll, so I said, "That, I will do that." Also IDK if you guys are aware but there is a not-insignificant relationship between American Jews and American Chinese food around this time of year. :D

Anyway I figured if I was going full egg roll I'd make life easy and use instant mashed potatoes. I'm not sure what it says about me that I feel compelled to add that I did at least use like...the fancy instant mashed potatoes. In any case, I mixed them with sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions, and it made a spectacular filling for a really delicious dish. Like, this might enter some kind of regular rotation for meals in cucina di copperbadge. Although I'm still working out the best wrapping technique. I'll get there.

Tomorrow I'll be frying an artichoke and slow-cooking a beef stracotto as the "salad" and "main" of my five-course feast. For the rest of today I'm going to put my feet up and watch AS Roma try to topple Juventus, cuddle some cats, do my daily Italian learning in Duolingo, and probably have a few more of these burik for dinner because sono molto molto delizioso.

[ID: Two images of burik con patata; I forgot to take any photos during the process. The first photo shows a number of small "packets" of fried egg roll wrapper, mottled with dark brown spots and crispy edges. The second shows one of the burik broken in half, showing the creamy interior of mashed potato, including some bits of onion and mushroom.]

Oh, what about Gerry and 13?

💖

[ID: A traditional drawing with watercolor colors showing Gerard Keay crawling out of the Skin Book. He is a pale, thin man visible from the waist up, where his body begins to emerge from the pages in a pool of blood. He slouches forward, his dark hair hanging over his face. He is unclothed and his exposed skin is raw and bloody, with eye-shaped tattoos visible over his joints. Around him, various hands reach towards him, some touching. One is notably pockmarked and holds a zippo lighter. The background is a dramatic dark maroon, and the color immediately around Gerry is a bright red. Text on the image reads: "Choice is just a fable for the weak." End ID.]

Greetings, @titters-and-tingles! I have come to provide you with your secret gift for this year. I intended to post this yesterday, but I forgot, so you get it today instead! I hope you enjoy it :D

Image ID:

[A digital illustration of Sun Wukong and Macaque from Lego Monkie Kid on top of a small rock pillar near Flower Fruit Mountain. Macaque is appearing outside of a shadow portal behind/below Sun Wukong, one hand tickling his right side and the other tickling his left thigh. Sun Wukong appears to be caught off guard, his legs coming out of a crossed position, his hands moving to brace against Macaque. Macaque has a mischievous smile, while Sun Wukong has a nervous one and a slight blush. Sun Wukong's tail wags to his right side behind him.]

[solarishashernoseinabook]

SOLAR okay hi!! So I’ve noticed a while ago that some people will write image IDs in alt text and also paste them in the post! And I was wondering the purpose of that- but I sorta just forgot about it!

But!! I always write alt texts for my art, and other posts I make with images. Someone reblogged some of them and tagged “undescribed” and that confused me (for clarity, note that I am not like, offended by this or anything, only confused! I just don’t understand why :]!!)

so I was wondering if you know why that might be? The reason I ask you is because I don’t know who else I would ask D:

Basically I’m wondering if I should be putting the IDs in the post as well as in alt texts, or if it’s simply a matter of preference!

okay SO! This isn't necessarily an easy answer. There's a few components to this and different things to consider, so let's take it step by step, go over obvious information, and then get to the root of your question. This is not going under a cut, sorry folks but tumblr can be finicky and information under a readmore can get lost fairly easily.

DISCLAIMER: I don't require image descriptions in my daily life, but i've been writing them for four-ish years at this point. The information below is what I've gathered from several "how to do image descriptions" posts over the years. I'm open to any corrections, feedback, or additional information anyone can provide!

Why do people require image descriptions? Pretty simply, for one reason or another, a person can't access the contents of an image. They could be blind or low vision, or have a learning disability that makes reading difficult. An image description can either transcribe text in an image (e.g., a description might read "text saying i love birds") or describe the contents of a picture (e.g., "a cartoon image of a bird on a nest"). People with low/no vision, or who can't read, use a variety of accessibility aids to help them navigate the 'net.

What are some of these accessibility aids? They take various forms - and that's more important than you might think! Screen readers are the most obvious, but they're not used by everyone. Other people use dyslexia-friendly fonts, magnify text, or invert colours or use high-contrast mode to make reading text easier. However, none of these options work with plain images! Someone with dyslexia could probably see the image of a bird on a nest just fine, but may not be able to read the words "I love birds" in a screenshot. Someone with low vision might not be able to see either image. If an image has a description attached, the text of the description will be magnified, or its font will be changed, or it'll be high contrast, or whatever else that person needs, and they can access the image via its description.

Alt text, image descriptions, and pros and cons of each So, what are some of the benefits of alt text? Because alt text is attached to an image, people using screen readers will have the description read to them as soon as they get to the image (if an image has no alt text, the screen reader will just say "image"). Because it's attached to an image, it's harder to lose it - if a post originally doesn't contain image descriptions and someone reblogs with a description later on, there are still going to be reblog chains that don't have the description attached to them. Some people also prefer alt text because image descriptions can make a post look "messy" - some people are less likely to reblog posts with visible image descriptions attached to them. And, for people who use screen readers, it can be really annoying to just hear "image" without knowing if it's followed by a description or not. But as we established, not all people who need image descriptions use screen readers, and not all accessibility aids work with alt text. For people who magnify text, for example, alt text often gets cut off. This is a bit easier to deal with on desktop - there's an XKit extension that puts alt text in a grey box below the image - but on mobile, this can be a real problem. As yet, I don't know for sure if high contrast, inverted colours, or accessible fonts work with alt text on mobile or in the visible alt text the XKit extension provides (if you know, please, tell me!) - but I know they work for image descriptions posted after an image. Alt text is great, but image descriptions are, at the moment, more consistently accessible.

So what should I use? Both? While either alt text or image descriptions are good, the consensus among those who need them seems to be to use one or the other, not both on the same post. For people who use screen readers, hearing the alt text only to immediately hear it repeated can be annoying. I'll use alt text if it's only going to be a couple of words or a single line, but otherwise I tend to use the alt text to say "image described below" to reassure those with screen readers.

But WHY are people tagging my post as undescribed? Bestie you wouldn't believe what people can miss. I've got a viral post that's got a GIF followed by a very obvious image description and it gets tagged as undescribed every so often. If you're using mainly alt text, it's possible that it's not visible on mobile yet - the tumblr app only shows the little alt text box about half the time. Or people get lazy and forget to check, or force of habit means they tag undescribed even though they did notice. Just tag them in the replies and point out that the description is actually there - the undescribed tag exists because a lot of people who need descriptions filter that tag so they don't waste their time on posts they can't access, and they deserve to see accessible posts!
