it's my personal belief that Gillion needs glasses while on land but doesn't realize his vision is even different from everyone else's.

in the water he sees great! it's what tritons are made to do! but above water things are blurry and he's nearsighted. tritons can survive on land, but it's not an ideal situation (as shown by the fact that Gillion sleeps in barrels and bathtubs). he assumes that's just how land creatures are because how would he know any better? this is just another challenge that he's willing to face.

so yeah, he's totally visually impaired. lots of fish and amphibians can't see well outside of water, and i'm choosing to believe that Gillion is the same way.

#jrwi #jrwi show #jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #somebody get this guy some goggles full of saltwater #anyways i'm disabled so im once more headcanoning jrwi characters as also being disabled #honestly a lot of people forget that visual impairments are a disability because glasses are a relatively accessible aid #like obviously not all cases of vision loss are that severe or disabling but still #i'm just over here putting some silly goggles on a fish man don't mind me

wasn't aware that tumblr had an option to add image descriptions so thanks to the person who sent me an ask about it. i'll try to add them to as many of my posts as possible from now on; if i forget feel free to remind me they're missing.

#🐉#also sorry i didnt think to like. ask. it didnt occur to me but i realize how important it is for people with visual disabilities #and you guys dont have the privelege of ignorance.

i’m not exactly the person to complain about this but man it would be nice if accessibility standards were totally normalized. like yeah i can see and hear just fine but what if i prefer to read a video transcript because of adhd or not wanting to turn up the volume on my phone for whatever reason. i scroll past videos i would’ve liked to watch sooooo often cause there’s no transcript.

also IDs r so nice when u have low signal and the images won’t load

obviously it’s more important to normalize accessibility standards because they’re absolutely necessary for making things accessible to the people they’re designed for. they’re just also rad as hell & i wish everyone appreciated them as much as I do cause maybe then people would start noticing how inaccessible a lot of stuff currently is

#talking times with milo #also when i say im not the person to complain about this i mean im not directly affected because of visual impairment or being deaf/HoH #i know adhd and autism also count as disabilities and they do impact this whole thing. they just dont (in my case) completely exclude #me from accessing content that’s not accessible #same concept applies to physical accessibility stuff too im just thinking about how many videos ive scrolled past without watching recently #also i appreciate that one guy in my notes (hi there) who adds descriptions to things a lot #i often dont have the energy so it’s nice to know that it might still get written

ok i’m putting my hater hat on for a second. no shade to whoever reblogged the post like it’s whatever but this tiktok is kind of annoying to me and i can’t quite put my finger on exactly the wording i’m looking for but like

like. are you actually TALKING to the guy and attempting to make a connection? or are you just assuming that by virtue of him being blind that he’s gonna be lonely/available and just you existing in his presence consistently enough is gonna be enough to make him fall in love with you. like are you just posting this to pat yourself on the back for treating a blind person like another human being and even (gasp) being attracted to one? what is with this assumption that when interacting with a visually impaired person that you should do anything BUT use your damn words and talk to them. ‘i wear the same perfume so he recognizes me!’ or you could just like. talk to him? idk like say ‘hey x, it’s y! how’s it going?’ or something. a little “good morning/good afternoon/how’s your day going”? if someone did that shit to me i’d be mad as fuck it’s like… it’s condescending and weird. either outright ask someone what accommodations work for them or just interact with them however you’d interact with anyone else. he’s blind he’s not a wild animal you don’t need to get him accustomed to your fucking scent just fucking talk to the guy… “awaaaa you’re making your flirting accessible!! this is so romantic where’s the movie omg” take off your fanfic goggles for like 5 seconds and use ur brain…

#so many people are so fucking weird about interacting with disabled ppl in general like. guys. cmon #like. we’re all adults here. use your words #like i’m not ‘technically’ visually impaired (yet) but my vision has been consistently deteriorating all my life #and it’s really a matter of time before glasses stop working for me #and i’m okay with that. but god if people act like this to me when i’m trying to mind my damn business i’m going to start fucking swinging

a fun(?) fact about siya is that their burn scars on their face and forearms are from scarlet! they were living in lion’s arch when she first attacked and were pulled out of the wreckage of their apartment by the lionguard. they’re incredibly lucky to have survived, all things considered, because it was not looking good for them.

they also have scarlet’s rattle from the miasma damage to their respiratory system, which is one of my favorite little details of worldbuilding.

#they’re just my little guy.#they also— and this is nerdy optical talk cw eye injury #they also have retinal damage from the blast trauma that gives them visual impairment #their right eye has two paracentral scotomas so they have like. blind spots on the side of their vision #this plus their photophobia (bright light now gives them migraines) is why they wear tinted glasses/sunglasses #(they love hoelbrak but god damn light reflecting off of snow is too fucking much)#they’ve got bad knees and bad eyes and bad lungs and i love them.#my disabled babygirl…….#edit: did i say right eye? i meant left eye. yes i am a fool who got it mixed up #all things considered they also probably have tinnitus and some hearing loss on that side too but i’m not settled on the specifics

Forgot how inaccessible Neopets is

#it's been a decade #more so for me playing it seriously but i gave it another try #it's like 'if you want money you better be lucky or have no disabilities because either gamble or play flash games'#i'm glad they made the games playable again without flash but only to discover you need fast reflexes in horribly timed events #i need higher contrast with stuff in terms of visuals like you guys had to port it why not make it more accessible in the process ffs-#you're a site directed at kids not serious gamers. some games are like 'you had to be extremely knowledgeable of the site's hidden lore #for the past 30 years' or maybe you could fix your economy #anyway otherwise i'm glad they're trying to update things I just hope they make it accessible #i'm glad they got rid of the n/f/t stuff too

Disney Channel’s stereotypical blind guy who desires to be stereotypical jock

Going to the Mat establishes Jace Newfield as a blind musical savant. But the film focuses on Jace desperately not wanting to be seen as a stereotype. His resistance is a sign of ableism because he doesn't want to be the one-dimensional character he sees in the media; he assumes everyone thinks of him that way.

"The problem is that fiction has the capacity to initiate this very fear, meaning that when left unaddressed literary representation itself functions as an Unseen Starer, potentially making Unseeing Victims of not only blind characters but people with impaired vision." (Bolt, 26) The impact of such media representations can be expressed or even develop into personality traits. In my personal experience, the more I was called "courageous" and "brave" about my disability, the more stubbornness became part of my personality.

Beginning in childhood, I felt I had much to prove for people to ignore my disability.

Due to my disability, I was often singled out. To avoid that, I became very stubborn in insisting on doing things the way able-bodied people do. Fortunately, that belief has lessened with age.

Jace's assumption that people automatically can't understand his struggles is challenged when he attends music class taught by a visually impaired teacher, which Jace was unaware of. Jace acts out by playing a drum solo in the middle of classical music. He then defended himself by saying the teacher wouldn't understand what he's going through. Then Jace is told, "he's just like you." and jokingly, "talk about the blind leading the blind." Mr. Wyatt immediately recognizes Jace's problems stemming from the "chip on his shoulder" related to his being blind.

The dynamic between Mr. Wyatt and Jace is mentoring and falls into the same category as the magic black guy trope. "In order to show the world that minority characters are not bad people, one will step forward to help a "normal" person, with their pure heart and folksy wisdom. They are usually black and/or poor… and the wisdom in some way enriches that central character's life." (Tvtropes.com) Mr. Wyatt gives him the wisdom that

"People will always treat you differently because you are different."

This is hard to hear because of Jace's natural desire to fit in, especially as a teenager.

#rambles #like bro #this is majoritariely a problem for people with like #auditory processing disorder. are hard of hearing. are Deaf #just like the lack of image descriptions is mostly a problem to blind people. people with visual impairement #people who's capacity of understanding what's in an image is impaired in some other way #but me #listen me for a second #i have a shit poor person's internet and the number of TIMES my connection was SHIT and it didn't load any images #and an id could have SAVED me #or how im not a native english speaker so the huge amount of accents and ways people talk can sound like mostly gibberish to me #the amount of TIMES i couldn't watch a vid because the generated subtitles were SHIT or UNEXISTENT #we should advocate for more of these things not because the abled guy (me) also benefits by them but because the fucking disabled people #need that #but BOY it does SUCK #put subtitles in there its not even HARD #HIRE someone to do it idc #swearing in tags

did any of yall playing bg3 on pc run into a brick wall of game crashing in act 2 and did you find something that fixed it?

it's becoming essentially unplayable, specifically when im inside moonrise towers. almost every cutscene freezes the game until it crashes. it usually takes at least two attempts to get through any of them. it doesn't matter whether i let the game load in around me or not, either. not to mention how long it takes *to* load in...

for example, ive been trying to step forward into kethric's throne room for 50 minutes. the game has frozen until i had to force quit twice. i moved my camera forward once and it closed out on its own. i opened settings to make sure i was in fullscreen, the game closed on its own. i feel like i am going to detonate in frustration.

game files are verified on steam, settings are as low as possible, no background apps running, overlay off. i just don't know what to do besides brute force it at this point and it sucks ass

#its. its extremely frustrating im not gonna lie #elden ring ran perfectly with only occasional chugging in extremely packed areas #hell i could run full raids in world of warcraft at pretty high settings without much issue #so i am just absolutely fuckin baffled #if i could disable all visual magic effects i would at this point #i cant fathom what's so insanely graphically demanding in moonrise that fucking elden ring didn't have a hundred times more of yknow?#leyndell was fine! and it's a big city with lots of guys in it! even with the erdtree burning and all the ash effects!#and in wow this comp handled legion dalaran with little issue and that place was SO piled with npcs and Stuff Happening #so im just like. [vibrates angrily]

literally pleased with almost all of the new atla trailer except as per usual, Zuko's scar, idk why studios are so scared to commit to the intensity of the thing, its supposed to be shocking and obvious and textured and the first thing you see... that's the point, Zuko is supposed to struggle with feeling like it defines and brands him before finally coming to the point in his journey where he defines it.

Hollywood/big studios are known to hesitate or straight up avoid properly and honestly and unapologetically showing people with disfigurements/disabilities/facial differences etc. with the realism they deserve. Which is a shame in general for representation and humanization but ESPECIALLY in this case as its minimization actively harms it's narrative purpose as well

I promise making the scar more intense (shrivel up the ear a bit, make it intrude in his hairline, make his eye in a permanent squint due to nerve damage, for god sake REMOVE THE EYEBROW IT WAS BURNED OFF) will not make Zuko "ugly", (the actor is incapable of looking ugly and also the implication that scars make people too unappealing? yikes) but will actually do the character and his journey justice, not to mention really show Ozai's brutality, another essential narrative tool. Especially when he's bald like hello??? It should be even more stark and intense when he doesn't have hair to distract from it and cover his ear!!!

When transitioning from 2D to live action, of course some visuals are up for interpretation but that usually involved ADDING detail because the constraints of having to stay on modeling frame to frame is gone, not minimizing, removing or airbrushing. Doing Zuko's scar right to me is absolutely essential and I'm disappointed they seem just as as scared to go there as I thought they might. It doesn't have to be gory, if you've ever seen burn victims in real life or in pictures or even cosplayers/artists who are skilled in realistic burn makeup you'd know its possible to balance realism with humanity. It's possible especially with their resources to avoid the "scary Halloween makeup" route while not holding back on the brutality of the original injury.

Budget is definitely not an issue, or "scaring the kids" considering this remake is likely aiming to go a lil darker in tone than the cartoon (which was already super dark with its target audience of nickelodeon 7 year olds so no excuses) Audiences SHOULD be unsettled and upset when they see him but not because he's hard/disturbing to look at but because we are human and do not want to imagine someone doing that to a child.

It's a deliberate choice out of the all too common fear/hesitation to allow someone who is destined to eventually become a protagonist and is meant to be sympathized with to be "too ugly" while this hesitation is very rarely applied to straight up villains (again we come back to media's historic villainization of facial deformity). It's a trend that's always ticked me off in fanart too. The boy's face was melted, for gods sake. Zuko was always portrayed as an attractive boy in the cartoon (fire nation girls fawn over him) even with the intensity of his scar which is something I've always admired! People exist with scars similar to Zuko's in real life, and should not only be permitted to be represented as good guys and/or as attractive when their scars are toned down to be "palatable"

Like I said there's more that I loved than didn't love about the trailer, that can be a whole essay on it's own but I needed to get this very specific vent off my chest because it missed the mark so hard and stands out like a sore thumb in comparison to all the other visuals that hit the nail on the head to me
