if you feel like you’re ‘getting in the way’ as a mobility aid user, particularly with larger aids like wheelchairs, rollators/walkers, gait trainers and service dogs, That Is A Fault Of The Space (and potentially the people), not of you. You deserve all the space you take up and more.
“I see them, Mia! I see them! Over there against the dark, stormy sky. They are all there. The smith and Lisa and the knight and Raval and Jns and Skat. And Death, the severe master, invites them to dance. He tells them to hold each other's hands and then they must tread the dance in a long row. And first goes the master with his scythe and hourglass, but Skat dangles at the end with his lyre. They dance away from the dawn and it's a solemn dance towards the dark lands, while the rain washes their faces and cleans the salt of the tears from their cheeks”. (c) The seventh seal
Macabre - or Dance of Death - an allegory of the frailty of human existence.
In this case I wanted to contrast personified Death with people whose music can rightfully be called the hymn of Life; even if there were disagreements between them, now, when death drags their bodies to the grave, they are equal to each other. But at the same time they are strong and immortal like Life itself

And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive

It really felt like all I wanted to draw in January was horses, so no matter what I tried to do for this month's Lubi, it just didn't work out. Until I just turned him into a horse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before the conquest, all the seven kingdoms of Westeros had their own distinct style, but as one kingdom, the main fashion influences came from the royal Targaryen family. Only certain areas, such as the North and Dorne, kept their own traditional styles (my canon).
One of my favorite parts of doing an asoiaf save file is storytelling through fashion!
