#thank you for your response

I was raised strict southern Baptist/Pentecostal but I definitely get a feeling with Fate of the Faithful. It’s my favorite song on the album and I connected to it immediately

I knew there was a pipeline because those songs hit too hard

as a fun fact, you following me was an impetus for writing this post. when you joked around with me on a previous post, I figured you were joking about your username. only after I responded did I notice you were an actual doctor.

I realized that my audience wasn't just people with the same rare condition as me, but that it also includes medical professionals. and as I talked about these issues with the premedical students around me in the days before writing this post, I realized they were really listening.

you mentioned using your position as a doctor to advocate for yourself, and I've seen the influence of that kind of thing. knowing my way around the literature allowed me to discern when my doctors were full of shit (which is why I write so many medical literacy posts). but I've also noticed that as I advance in my career, doctors treat me differently after the "what do you do for work?" question. I'm no longer a patient - I'm someone they can talk business to. it's an uncomfortable privilege.

and as for having so many extra barriers in med school - it's a massive factor in how few disabled doctors there are (you'll find more of my thoughts on that here). but I think as an undercurrent, people genuinely don't think disabled people should get higher education. to them, disabled people are the "low achieving" students who need to be "weeded out".

in the earlier years of my higher education I had my accommodations denied over and over again, and I couldn't get department heads to listen to me about their employees. I was told, multiple times, that if I was so sick I simply shouldn't be in their class at all. my premed peers assumed my accommodations were unnecessary and a shortcut.

despite the advancements made in American anti discrimination rights for disabled people, protections still fall short, and their power is often eroded over time. what happened to me wasn't just immoral - it was blatantly illegal. but I couldn't sue, not for money or to get grades removed from my record, only for an order from the judge to cut it out. whistleblowing would've only caused a "mediator" to be sent to try and smooth ruffled feathers.

you and I know what kind of hell this is. but the general public doesn't think of disability discrimination as an issue at all. it is my opinion that the problem is particularly rampant in classrooms in addition to hospitals.

yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

same person who gave you a reality check, not to be rude or anything, ill leave you alone after this fs.

i never said english was your first language, i just wanted to point that out.

in all honesty thank for for owning up to that! i appreciate it, i understand you get caught up in the moment and so do i. i get it (trust)

ty for being so nice abt it, i just needed to get that off of my chest ig and yes, i say a lot about airis, that being because they’re my best friend, i didn’t want to be biased because they’re are a close friend of mine. sorry if it seemed biased to you,

i just couldn’t stand to see this happen to my bsf.

thank you again for owning up to your mistakes and being nice about it

Its okay, i misunderstand for a second

I quite literally overshare a shit ton, im already doing that now too ,so all those words i said were rlly hypocritical and thats why taking my meds earlier made me realize a bit more—it wasnt fair for me to bullshit on airis (i keep misreading r/g together) cuz i do the same things, and i know theyre already doing horribly enough as is so that served as another reality check of "oh. Yeah okay. I got a bit too angry at a child on the internet for literally venting and i shoved my whole nose up in their business instead of ignoring it" 😭

It didnt seem biased, even if it was, youd still have a right to defend them,, i wanted to make sure to keep my mouth closed here and listen since i (verbatim) didnt have anyone to Genuinely point out my bad / lack of wording

Of course, i want to be held accountable for my own actions, id hate to play the "oh im the adult here" card and act as a know it all yk,,, we all make mistakes and it takes more than three people to point out another persons wrongs (er if that makes sense? I meant it since two people went here in my ask box (you and conan) and i hope thay made sense oops,)

i hate tampons i don't wear them because of that, also i always fear they get stuck in me when i do wear them i wear pads and half of my friends that ever since they had kids wear pads now also tampons are uncomfortable after you have kids i heard.

hm, yeah tampons aren't for everyone. i was sort of a late bloomer when it comes to wearing tampons. i didn't start wearing them until i was like 18. i tried them once when i was like 15 or 16 and didn't realize you had to insert the applicator as well so basically my tampon sat right at my opening and hurt like hell. i pulled it out right after and waited years to try them again. plus at the time i was also afraid it would get stuck the longer i had it in. now i realize it's the easiest to pull out when it's actually absorbed a good amount. dry tampons are harder to pull out and hurt so bad to pull out. now that's all i wear. i mean i will wear pads on my lightest days when tampons are just not feasible though. i even sleep in them but make sure i don't sleep more than 8 hours so i can change it of course.

and i didn't know about the kids thing. you'd think after having kids tampons would be easier. (after healing obviously.)

letting celebrities think they can and should "use their platform" to speak on all current events and political issues regardless of how educated they are on them was a grave mistake

Heh...Literally nothing personal, kid.

I just noticed. Your cheated design has clipped wings, or what looks like it. Did he just happen to be like that or was it from his fight with the Razor

Yes!! I'm so glad someone noticed!! So if anyone's keeping track, my Cheated can't fly because his wings are clipped, one of them has been cut off, AND he's afraid of heights :)

Just thinking about s4 but when Alpha!Eddie grabs Steve to shove the bottle against his neck, he doesn't realize Steve is an omega and accidentally scruffs him. And Steve is just boneless, kinda goes down. And Eddie isn't expecting deadweight and almost falls ontop of Steve but realizes what's happening (let's just say he's fought off a few bullies who scruffed members of his pack). He immediately drops the bottle and holds onto Steve, who tries to scent Eddie. Just shoves his face into Eddie's neck and nuzzles it, lets out a purr unintentionally.

Maybe I’m dumb but how did viktor’s crutch suddenly get several feet longer? The rest that used to sit under his arm now is above his head?

Hi lovely. You're not dumb! It's such a quick moment in the episode that it's easy to miss what (I think) happens.

So when Viktor comes out of the hex-goop he immediately reaches for his crutch (a really cool detail that I love very much, as it shows that, deep down, he's still Viktor to at least some degree). Now, in this shot, right after he grabs it, his crutch looks like it always has

But we can see that when he touches the crutch, he begins to change it in a similar way that he himself has been changed. You can see it actually happening here

And here you can see it afterwords.

And then there's this shot while he's talking to Jayce that shows his entire crutch. If you look at the very bottom, you can see this spindly design that wasn't there before

So I think what happened is him touching the crutch made it transform and therefore extended it, making it taller than before.

It even sounds different when he walks! It's more of a glassy/metallic sound than a thump. How cool is that!

what’s a radioapple au you’ve seen around in fanart that made you like want to imagine it being canon in the show? love ur art xx

Thanks!!

I think the lovely thing about AUs is that I can see many people’s different dreams of how certain characters could interact in a certain scenario. But its whole purpose is to differ from canon in some aspect, no?

That’s why it’s an alternate universe. The severity in which it differs is up to the AU author, I think.

I guess I just don’t think of AUs as influencing what I’d like to see in canon?? Canon is the story we’re all invested in, but I think we all are just interested in seeing how the writers write their show. (Or at least that’s how I interact with hazbin lol)

And AUs are for fans to be imaginative and have fun. I don’t know how to describe it exactly, I guess I just see them as two separate entities so I don’t really consider how AUs may influence what I want to see in canon.

Thank you for your question!!! I really like thinking and talking about the show a lot so thank you!

Getting deep into the x men fandom means seeing ships I don't agree with, so I don't interact, seeing posts that mischaraterizes one of the deepest charaters possible, so I don't interact, Seeing people actively say things that are blatantly wrong, so I don't interact.

Getting a large following is also kind of frustrating (Im not complaining I love you guys!) But I've had to block 2 people already today because they keep leaving rude replies to my comments on OTHER peoples posts or purposly come to my blog to tell me that how I view a charater is wrong. Had someone tell me that the stuff that happens in MY au is dumb because "that would never happen" like yeah bud. The writers at Marvel are too much of cowards for it to happen, hence why i'm here.

So my thing is... if im chosing not to interact with all of this- why is it still on my feed?

I feel like the more I ignore it the more I see and I do not wish to be the type to block someone simply because they make one post about a ship that personally isn't my cup of tea.

Also- I think Im starting to see the different sides of extremes, especially when it comes to one specifc charater.

Logan.

I have seen dozens of lovely stories, lovely rants, lovely head canons about this man-

But something that feels weird (to me at least) is people who are 45+ yelling at people who aren't even 18 that their story/headcanons are trash because they've "been enjoying Logan for 40+ years" as if this gives them any right to tell a 17 year old that they shouldnt write a charater how they see them.

It's also weird to me that there seems to be two sides.

Logan IS an animal and that's perfectly okay.

Or

Logan ISN'T an animal, and everyone who headcanons him as animalistic is fetishizing his mutation and are insulting him.

I get not liking a certain trope, but sir, that person is young enough to be your child. You have to accept that we all grew up with different versions of each charater. I Personally didn't grow up with any and get the luxury of indulging in all sorts of media all at once- therefore getting to see him from multiple sides and pictures.

I completely understand if you grew up with the original series and are upset to see that kids are headcanoning your stone cold angst biker man as wearing bow clips and 'making biscuits' on a pillow while watching gilmore girl with his boyfriend, and wearing pink fluffy hello kitty pants and a tight shirt that says "Milk"

I completely understand if you grew up with the movies and see him as a sexy gruff hot buff man and you love to write lots and lots of steamy x reader about him.

I completely understand if you LIKE logan wearing hello kitty pants and don't agree with the idea of him being a dark edgelord, lone wolf charater.

Do you know what I don't understand? Fighting over a charater when different timelines have been canon since the 80s. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) first appeared in Thor #372 (October 1986) which means ALL of your logans are the correct logan. Just not all the same.

Do I think Wolverine Orgins Logan would wear pink hello kitty pants? Nah.

Do I know that Deadpool and wolverine Logan is a whole different universe then Orgins Logan? Yes.

That's why people tag different logans and different aus. So what is all the fuss about?? What happened to the more the merrier?

Theres so many different versions of comic book logan, too, so don't even go there.

Feel free to ask my personal opinions but as far as I stand I could never be foolish enough to seriously go into someone elses post and genuinely be upset at them for how they perceive a charater. I get second hand embaressment when ever I see ANYONE doing it.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I don't care if I lose followers for this. Let the door hit you on the way out. There aint no reason to be harrassing folks.

I got on tumblr to see you liked one of my posts and I SCREAMED, your art is such a huge inspiration to me so imagine my surprise

I am the dumbest person alive and forgot to answer this ask months ago, NEVERTHELESS- I’d just like to say that I’ve seen your artstyle change and develop so beautifully over the last few months and that I couldn’t be happier to have been here to witness it. I’m glad I could be a source of inspiration for you and I can’t wait to see how your art will improve in the future !

(Also I found this doodle of your designs I drew a long time ago and while I know your designs changed a lot since then, I thought it would be nice to put it here anyway <3)
