[begin id: four images that go as follows: a digital drawing of rai stormheart standing with his shoulders up and tensed, hands balled into fists. he's standing in a pool of blood that seems to drag on for a while. his eyes are bulging as he has a look of stress on his face. next to him is the necronomnicon, being held in a blue mist very close to rai. lightning bolts shoot around rai. he's also wearing socks with sandals that match his dress the first image has a caption that reads "mfw [top text, impact font] my fucking period [bottom of screen, ink free]" and the second has no caption, just the drawing. a digital drawing of xiv. they're standing in a pool of blood that drags on a bit behind them before ending. they're holding their staff behind their back, with it glowing eerily, and they're giving the viewer a thumbs up. they're grinning, eyes bulging, pretending everthing is fine, however their tail betrays them as it's currently straight as a line. the first one has a caption that reads "haha don't worry guys [top text, comic sans] just my cramps!!!!! [bottom text, impact font]" while the other has no caption, just the drawing. end id]

had really bad cramps this morning so i decided to make these to cope. giggled the entire time

guidelines and boundaries

I have several different disabilities that make me misread, misinterpret and not process text and tone correctly. Any and all errors, mistakes, bluntness, and missed context is because I have those disabilities I take full responsibility for any harm or distress but it is never my intention ever. Please assume the best intentions in all situations I do not mean ill will to anyone ever. Also shush I know I misspell and my grammar is terrible, that’s what learning disabilities do to you.

I do not accept anyone that believes the R slur is not a slur, it is. its a slur.

i do not accept any discussion or criticism or debate on I/P we are spot-the-ableism not spot-the-antisemitism I just tend to find the same people who are antisemitic are also ableist.

we are pro-Zionism go figure.

all Israelis are accepted on this blog, everyone of every race and ethnicity is. We are only talking about ableism not anything else really.

I have a very low threshold for being harassed, I will either politely block or end the discussion or report you depending on what it is.

we do not accept endos on this blog, or transID (plain text: trans-identities) as in trans-autistic or trans-plural.

and a slight clarification, cultural practices or spiritual practices that revolve around being more than one, or more than one soul or such.

are allowed on this blog. it's more of "hey a lot of endos practice those practices incorrectly or culturally appropriate them most of the time and many people have called out that this is happening in many circles" thing.

there is nuance here, and I'd rather clarify that before something happens.

again, anti-endo, anti-tulpamancy (as in terminology and practice, as it is a cultural appropriation of both Tibetan and Buddhist cultures. as many Buddhists have said you are welcome to learn the proper Buddhist techniques and skills and not resort to whitewashed appropriated terms and practices.)

not anti-spiritual and religious practices, (Buddhists and others you're not banned or something) as again not the same thing as endogenic and should not be classified together.

Endogenic being used as a classifier and umbrella label has not worked out, or well. and I personally encourage the separation of spiritual practices not tied to endos or the endogenic label.

as they drastically differ in mode, mentality, spirituality, culture, and religion. and endogenic spaces have not provided either a safe place for people too happily exist or to have their cultures and practices respected.

as endogenic as an umbrella term or shorthand for those practices does not work, as endogenic plurality and culture is drastically different from those with different spiritual and cultural practices and often clash.

that's my piece, though.

thank you for reading my blurb.

"I care about accessibility" motherfuckers when you ask them to make shit readable and possible to view with a screenreader

[ Image ID: A light brown cat with darker stripes and spots in a car. He has both right paws on the shoulder of the person taking the photo. His back left paw is on the seat of the car and his left front paw is out of frame against the window of the car door. The cat has a surprised expression on its face with its mouth wide open as well as its eyes. He is looking at something behind the camera. // End Image ID ]

[objectum-confessions]

well, as promised, im gonna talk a little about my obj kins . so, to start, im gonna say im not exactly sure what my kintype is precisely, and i feel as though it kind of shifts with my environment and in relation to my theriotype as well.

as in, most of the time, im just a dog therian yk. but sometimes my -type switches and i become a dog stuffie, and sometimes i become a shark or carp like pool toy/floatie and sometimes im a fluffy dog bed or a fluffy blankie and then im a real dog again.

when i try to see my true object self through my mind's eye i often see something like this:

ID: two pictures of the webkinz samoyed plush, it's an all white dog with long fur, in the first image it has a playful stance with its head lower than its bad and in the second image, the plush is standing with the front paws off the floor (ID end)

when i feel like im more of a pool toy i kind of look like one of my OCs, which is a very large sanke carp + dog hybrid, and some other times i also feel like i'm this dog bed ↓

ID: a pink on the outside, white on the inside dog bed made out of plush fabric, there is a bone shaped pillow and a rolled up blanket in the bed (ID end)

except light blue instead of pink and the inside is way more fluffy. my blankie-self is also blue plush fabric on one side, white fluffy fabric on the other, and its rather heavy and thick.

which of my -types i feel like at any given moment is determined by my mood, the environment im in, the people im with, etc.

so yeah. this is more of a 42 follower special now rather than 28, but that's fine with me ;p

Mangroves are one of our most endangered biomes and one of the most important for mitigating climate change. They protect islands and beaches from erosion and storms and are breeding grounds for many fish and invertebrates!

A new mob that can only be found in mangrove biomes in minecraft would hopefully increase interest in these amazing biomes in the real world! Especially for younger generations who may not even know what mangrove forests are (they don't exactly talk about them in public school here in the US, at least when I was a kid)

Handplates: Last-Minute Notes, Foreword, and Key!

I'm currently going over the first 10 pages in preparation for uploading. Making small fixes, doing some last proofreading. I'm hoping to be done today, but I've had some distractions. In the meantime, this is the preluding post to Handplates. Keep reading for the foreword!

Foreword: I’ll try and not be too much a fanboy and keep this short!

It’s a great honor to be able to work with zarla on this! I’m doing most of the legwork while zarla just double-checks to make sure everything looks fine. Whether she realises it or not, the Handplates AU was a massive game-changer in terms of fanfiction and fanon within the Undertale community. It helped spawn several dub channels, inspired many to begin writing their own AUs, and ignited multiple curious lore-hunters into inventing science behind Souls in Undertale! It was also one of the first long-term AU projects, and one of the longest that ended up being completed. In my opinion, Handplates is definitely one of the main reasons Undertale found its home on Tumblr. Handplates will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope this transcription will do it justice and serve as my love letter to this eight-year project. Here’s hoping it won’t take me as long to undertake this transcription!

-Basil

P.S. I am absolutely writing every word of this with the Gaster Ukagaka (Link here: zarla-s gaster ghost post) hanging out on my desktop. 

Key:

[Italicised brackets will include environments first when applicable, then the actions taking place.]

Character: Spoken lines will have the character’s name then the line after a colon.

Character: (Internal Monologue) Internal monologues will be like spoken lines, except written in italics and will have “Internal Monologue” in parenthes for the first of that page, and “IM” every instance after.

Gaster: (signing) Gaster gets a special set of rules! If he is speaking in cipher around those who understand it (Subject 1 and Subject 2) it will be a spoken line. However, if it is around or to those who need sign language, the indicator “signing” will appear. Imply that he is always speaking when signing.

Gaster 2: (in cipher) Sometimes Dr. Gaster won’t sign when speaking to those who need it. In these cases, his lines will be preceded with “in cipher” in parentheses. Again, while we the reader know what he’s saying, those he’s speaking to can’t understand him.

Other notes: For the time being, I intend on writing events of panels in the order that makes most sense. For instance, sometimes in a panel, a character will be reacting to something said in the panel, so I may write the line first, then the character’s appearance.

Last thoughts:

I am NOT a professional! I’m doing this completely voluntarily and on my own time! I’m keeping things easy on myself with relatively lax uploading schedules, as well as having a bit of wiggle room with more pages prepared.

That being said, I would love to accept your criticism! If you use a screenreader or often require text descriptions, PLEASE tell me what I’m doing wrong or right!

If you like and support what I’m doing, hit that like! Hit that reblog! Let me know, share the love!

yesss!!! i completely agree with this caption.

[PT: Yes! I completely agree with this caption. End PT.]

[Image ID: A graphic that is split down the middle with a forwards slash without outlines. The side labelled "pop psychology" is gray. Underneath it is four bubbles of varying sizes.

The first bubble reads "Gaslighting is when someone lies to you or tries to convince you that you're wrong.". End quote. The second bubble reads "Being triggered means that something makes you uncomfortable or annoyed.". End quote. The third bubble reads "People who are rude, mean, or self-centered are narcissists.". End quote. The last bubble reads "Anything that hurts you is trauma." End quote.

The second side, a darker, more blue-toned gray, is titled "actual psychology". In response to it's corresponding bubble, it reads "Gaslighting is an elaborate strategy where you are manipulated to question your reality, memory, or sanity- not just a disagreement over what happened." End quote.

Underneath that is another statement reading "A trigger is something that causes a sudden increase in symptoms- like flashbacks in PTSD or compulsions in OCD. A 'trigger' is not just a source of general discomfort.". End quote.

The third statement reads "Everyone has some narcissistic traits, and many people are unpleasant or abusive without being narcissists. Narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical diagnosis, and it doesn't always lead to abusive behavior.". End quote.

The last statement reads "Anything that overwhelms your ability to cope can be traumatic. Trauma has long-lasting impacts and it goes beyond ordinary adversity. Something being hurtful isn't automatically trauma.". End quote. End description.]

found this today

Please use these terms correctly. Not doing so will deeply harm the people who actually have experienced trauma, gaslighting, triggers, and people who have NPD.

Edit: okay holy hell this blew up overnight. To everyone who is mentioning the censoring - I did not make this graphic, nor did I censor it. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE and it actually kind of ties into my original point. That being said, PLEASE stop reblogging just to say that. I know. Everyone knows. It has been said enough.

[spot-the-ableism]

Had a job interview where multiple people had told me I'd do well at the job, despite my disabilities, only to have the owner over exaggerate the amount of physical labour in the job to get me to leave by myself.

(I had my cane with me, she pretended she didn't see it, and also made me do an on-paper, no calculators math test?? (It was for a jewelry making business fyi))

the actual fuck? Okay that’s actually horrible and Yup! that’s a ableism right there!

”I had my cane with me, she pretended she didn't see it, and also made me do an on-paper, no calculators math test? (It was for a jewelry making business fyi)” - from anon

I’m actually dyscalclic (the math dyslexia) and that is SO WEIRD, I’d understand if it was fast paced grocery store or hell even a small restaurant. But a jewellery store/Jewellery making business? One of the most laidback types of stores?

I actually know a jewellery maker very well, and have met many of them and this is so completely wrong it pains me.

I think genuinely the person interviewing you was trying to fail you for being disabled, and or dyscalclic because the random math test happened.

if you can I’d report them for discriminatory practices, I’m unsure where you live so I can’t help more than that.

But that is in most cases and places discriminatory behaviour, especially the over-exaggerating of the physical labour in an attempt to discourage or dissuade you and others.

And also the random maths test! So weird? Some jobs may make you do competency tests for various things, but usually they tell you that you’re going to have to do them.

For someone to basically give you one out of nowhere is extremely suspicious and as someone who’s been through actual hell because of my severe learning disabilities, they DEFINITELY thought that because you were physically disabled you were mentally or learning disabled as well.

I’m so sorry that happened to you, shit sucks sometimes.

but I hope my response helps :smiley face:

[im-a-broken-jar]

Okay, here's how you add alt text on tumblr mobile.

Firstly, add the image like normal.

Now, there should be three little dots in the corner of that image, yes?

Click the dots.

Now, a button should pop up that says "add alt text" click that.

Now you just write the alt text in the space provided.

Now you click the "done" button.

And that's it! You can continue writing your post or post it, whatever. It has alt text now, making your blog more accessible to people using screen readers.

The wonders of using the Text to Speech/Screen Reader accessibility tool with fanfic

1) I forgot I was listening to music right before reading a poolverine fic. Right when the Porn with out Plot was done being read aloud to me, this Christmas song started playing.

2) The way Text to Speech pronounces babygirl like bubaguel (example video below)

Sorry wait…

Ba bua guirl… Or more so bah bua jeul

3) Sometimes Sarah (what I call my Text to Speech because the voice I picked for it is called that) will REMEMBER the whole tab she was last reading no matter how long ago we read it. Just recently, Sarah JUMPSCARED ME with a fucking transphobic fanfic line from a fic I dropped yesterday due to said transphobia.

This is what Sarah read aloud to me as I was trying to relax with a different fic.

4) Hasn’t happened to me yet, but I’m afraid of using Sarah in front of… Class, let’s say, and instead of reading the important text that’s on the board, SHE WILL SHOUT OUT THE LAST PORN WITHOUT PLOT THAT IVE READ IN THE MIDDLE OF A QUIET GROUP…

Please don’t do this to me Sarah…
