Do You Know This Disabled Character?

At the moment, Roronoa Zoro from the live action version counting is debatable. Vote how you see fit if you only know him from the live action version.
Roronoa Zoro is visually impaired and has various scarring.

As an outsider, I do think it's very telling that the only good thing they can think of to say about that guy who got shot is that he was a father.
Not just because everybody should have more good things to say about them than that, but because… he ran a company that (in theory) pays for people's healthcare?
Like, that's what a health insurance is, right? The Americans have way too expensive healthcare for any normal person to afford, so they get insurance to help them pay. That's supposed to be the deal, isn't it?
And yet nobody is posting saying stuff like: “my Auntie Mabel would have died from her cancer, if UHC insurance hadn't paid for her treatment!”
Or “after the accident, I thought Timmy would never walk again, but thanks to physiotherapy paid for because we had UHC insurance he's playing for his school football team!”
In fact, a bunch of people are saying stuff like: “after the accident, I thought Timmy would never walk again— and I was right, because UHC said that being bipedal was a pre-existing condition, and Timmy ended up dying from gangrene due to lack of treatment.”
Like, the NHS has done a lot of fucked up stuff (google 'NHS scandal' for examples) and has some bullshit policies. But they also help people on a daily basis, because that's their job.
What the fuck service is UHC meant to be providing? Because it apparently isn't helping many people pay for healthcare.
#uhc#luigi mangione#uhc shooting#like i knew american healthcare was FUCKED UP#but i always assumed that like… you guys must have safety nets?#or like bigger safety nets than you seem to have#like a truly sick person wouldn't actually be denied medically necessary care if it was available but they just couldn't pay#but no#apparently that regularly happens#us vs uk#us politics#i know it's super unlikely to happen nationally what with the whole trump thing#but i sincerely hope that recent events at least inspire individual states to move towards a better model of healthcare

free my complex female character, she did the same thing as complex male characters but the fandom takes Any analysis of her actions/choices/motivations that doesn’t strip her of all of her agency in bad faith and claims that only misogynists would dare to critique the things that they’ve noticed in her character because she’s a woman, completely ignoring the over-presence of discourse about similarly traited male characters in their fandom.
#exhausted by people categorizing CRITIQUE. not even genuine hate just literally basic analysis of imogen’s character#as a) hate at all but b) misogynistic simply because… they assume the person like caleb and percy uncritically like#i love imogen and i love her because she’s riddled with complexity that gives reason for her to be unlikeable#the shit ashton says makes me want to tear out my hair and i could write analysis on why but they’re still one of my favourite characters#i enjoy caleb but watching him infuriated me because of his self interest which is a coherent trait of his but is a tiring one#similarly with percy of love his pretentious Smartest In The Room shit but sometimes it meant he treated others more poorly than necessary#but i’m not unpacking all of that just so i have some fandom mandated right to say that i think there’s an aspect of a female character#that is imperfect in the human sense#because like. i will continue to call imogen’s self interested until the world burns and the moon shatters. because she is.#the only reason her choice to do good is compelling at all is because the choice to do otherwise is so tangible#it isn’t a Mistake or Fault that she’s self interested. it’s by design#like. she reaches towards the storm in curiosity in her sleep. but then she fights back when she’s awake#that’s it#that’s the dynamic. that’s what’s compelling#but no ur right fandom. let’s instead all agree that imogen is actually just intrinsically good#and take away all agency and complexity and humanity from her#and instead slap a sticker of Morally Good and enjoy the caricature of her where she’s made to fit into the imagine of#the latest aesthetic ad for diarrhoea medication#imogen temult#critical role#inspired as always by dumbass twitter posts that i’m subjected to because of school n work#the worst part is i do like the laudna n imogen dynamic in the stagnancy where it is but so much of that fandom is so clear in their erosion#of both characters actuality to suit the picture of Ship Tropes#like fuckin. so much of imogen’s fanart in imodna making her fat which as a fat person great love to see it#not so much when it’s clearly to make her short n stout against laundas tall n lanky.#anyway

[Image Description: Redesigns of CDI Link & Zelda. Link holds up his sword with a grin, excited looking. He wears a green headband with a silver wing on the sides. His eyes are hazel and his loose blond hair is shoulder length. He wears a green vest, and a teal-green skirt. His undershirt and tights are brown, sleeves decorated with gold diamond designs. He has a pouch attached to his thigh, with beads attached that match the minish cap elements with brown and white beads between them. Zelda stands next to him, arms crossed. She wears a purple dress with a tri-force triangle patterned trim. She wears a blue vest, and has a magic lantern attached to her belt. She wears a sparkling dark purple cloak. She wears a light purple tiara with a blue gem in the center. Her boots are light brown with pale wing-like designs. End ID]
I have designed a CDI & Hero of Men combo boy because I watched a playthrough of the CDIs and have discovered I love him and his scrunkly face ok? (and since the Hero of Men is the only other Link on my timeline I haven't already designed and CDI obviously did something else *before* helping Kordiai, I thought "hey, why not" toss those two together.)
Now my only question is. Do I give into my new blorbo brain and toss him into the story or not? :P
#linked spirit#loz au#legend of zelda#loz#zelda cdi#cdi link#cdi zelda#hes so silly#and I love my silly almost universally hated/memed and very 90s boys#and unlike what I had assumed he wouldn't actually be anything like Hope he'd be cartoony and terrible (<3) in a totally different way

*Slaps down another non-character poll*
Given that BG3 lacks a “Teen” model, only “Child” and “Adult” (and the lack, in many fantasy settings, of standard age qualifiers), I can’t honestly tell if these guys are smashable. I’d been giving them the benefit of the doubt, given they have Adult in game models and assuming they’re just a touch younger than Lae’zel (22). However, the BG3 Community Wiki has them listed under the “Children” category. What’s y’all’s take on this? Or does anyone have any better reliable information on Githyanki development in Forgotten Realms lore.
The outcome of this poll with also determine the fate of some characters in Act 3 which could also be figured to be teenagers instead of young adults, but hard to tell since they have adult models since teen ones don’t exist (Oyster Boy Dringo, Prayerboy Zoryxx, Ptaris, Jaheira’s Wards (Jord & Rion)).
#bg3 smash or pass#unlike the Githyanki youth the others are NOT listed as children by thr wiki#but the nature of their titles could indicate they are#I always assumed they were young adults. 18-19#but whatever the majority decides is what it shall be#viewer poll

more side character designs now to the tune of the Kil sisters
#character design#art#Ciara Kil#Naomi Kil#you know what's fucked up? never heard the name ciara until a few months ago. it's pronounced with a hard c. like keera. that's fucked up#anyway her name isn't pronounced like that cause i said so. it's a soft c and you pronounce the i. see-are-ah#hard-c ciara doesn't fit her. soft-c ciara does. it's fantasy i do what i want. i makea the rules#anyway. needless to say im in love with them both#naomi especially im sorryyy she's so intricate. she's got so much little shit going on I heart her crazy style#shes very good at Doing Things Right but it is an active choice to do so. unlike Ciara who is just really naturally personable and likeable#and so even when she's a bit unkempt or pushy. she gets away with a lot because she's so damn easy to like#wheras naomi is A Choice. she Is Right not because she's likeable but because she puts effort into it#shes obsessed with her image (who else does that sound like? almost like they're products of the same environment or something)#shes Neat and Put Together and very formal. very traditional#and not just because of that but not helped by it she's very distant. just enough to be noticeable but not enough to alienate her#because since she's so curated elsewhere. everyone she's distant to assume that they're just not privy to whatever else is going on#they assume that SOMEONE is. and that someone just isnt them because they arent good enough. naomi has a way of putting herself in a place#where she is an unattainable goal. and that's all in her pursuit of Doing Things Right#i could talk about her for hours also. fucking love naomi#naomi and ciara and julian are all fun because they're all. So Different. but similar enough that if you look closely youre like...#yeah. yeah those three all came from the same place and you can TELL#even ciara who is generally more easygoing than the others. you can still Tell sometimes#case in point: she's stubborn as hell and not afraid to pick a fight to get what she wants#love her.#OC art#ocs

Back when mahiru thought his uncle might be dead he had a flashback to the accident that resulted in his mother's death, but one thing I noticed is that we don't actually see akira in this memory? It feels like either mahiru (or someone like lily or jeje) is supressing his memory here.
And if someone possibly killed akira on purpose, who was it and why?
#servamp#akira shirota#mahiru shirota#I mean the biggest plot twist would actually be that she faked her death and is actually alive/a vampire for whatever reason#But assuming she's dead who would have a motive#touma seems unlikely I feel like he would have taunted mahiru with that back when he mentioned killing several people#I forgot how old mahiru was when akira died but mikuni was probably still too young and also he used to hate humans getting killed#No idea why he's working with tsubaki to do a ritual that will kill all of tokyo now#Tsubaki maybe? He might know about what is so special about mahiru. In that case killing the mother (who also knew what's special about him#Would make some sense. She can't tell mahiru or anyone else about it if she's dead.#But killing her in a way that might have killed mahiru as well...assuming whatever is special about mahiru is needed for the ritual#Risky#But maybe mahiru's memories were faked like misono's were with the night kiriko died and mahiru wasn't actually there when akira got killed#Trying to kill tooru after he had to reveal his ties to c3 before he could explain to mahiru what's special about him#Would also fit with tsubaki#tsubaki would also have a motive not to taunt mahiru with it so nobody tries to look into it and finds out what killing her would achieve#If mahiru is needed for the ritual it's probably even better that mahiru and kuro found a way to get rid of the distance limit#because the enemies probably planned with the distance limit in mind meaning mahiru not needing to be there when kuro tries to stop tsubaki#Might be unexpected to them and throw a wrench in their plans

i regularly get tags in my boba fett posts that say something along the lines of "#he needs a hug" so i'd like to pose a question to my fett fan followers:
assuming it came from someone he genuinely likes and cares about (think beviin or mirta), how do you think boba would react to someone hugging him?
#boba fett#(i'm excluding sintas here bc i think his reaction might be different given their romantic history)#here's my personal take:#first reaction to someone coming in for a hug is confusion; why is this person getting so close? are they injured? does he need to move?#hug makes contact. confusion continues.#at some point: realization hits. he is being hugged.#freeze. bluescreen. completely unmoving for duration of contact.#person pulls back. after several seconds‚ brain comes back online. silent alarm bells begin to ring.#why did they hug him?? did something terrible happen? IS something terrible about to happen?!#cannot compute that they've hugged him out of affection/care. it has to be because something somewhere has gone horribly wrong.#at some point might actually ask if something has gone wrong. is unlikely to believe them if they answer no.#spends way too long finding excuses to hang around that person (more than he already does anyway) hoping they'll tell him what's wrong#i'm talking days if not weeks here#at some point: is forced to accept that nothing is wrong and that this person just HUGGED him for... incomprehensible reasons!!!#complete 180. isolation time. still lowkey waiting for something awful to happen.#let's assume it doesn't. at some point‚ reemerges from isolation and tries to carry on like nothing happened#(secretly thinks about the hug for the rest of his life)#and if they hug him again? well brother i think he just dies#(i'm jk but these tags are already too long lol)

I've had a strong crying fit and aggressive paranoia episode for the first time in a very long while, and that same night I've saw an elaborate dream about him. Attracted to my misery like a moth to a flame, isn't he?
#personal#/vent#and even in my dream I still was spilling vitriol towards the guy he chose over me lol#I don't even mean like.. that we broke up because he loved him instead#I mean like he straight up stopped needing me in his life at ALL. even like a friend#like because that guy gave him everything he needed and more 🙄#all my use with none of my flaws and needs#like dude of course I'll be mad after you publicly boast about how easily you forgot all about me!#and treated me as just someone to waste time with if heeeeee isn't around#at least I know it isn't my fault#it is a risk of getting close with someone who values people for what they give and not who they are#such people will replace you all too easily#they believe that you are The One TM because they assume they are so unlikeable that-#-no one else would put up with them#take it from me kids: never accept this sort of ''love''. demand better.#I mean he even wanted to marry me but then by his admission all feelings evaporated over-#-some dude who just happens to be grand and intelligent

the immortal norseman
#low stakes 🦇#07 the green one#📗 bonus bits#🦇 einarr#he's a bit of an anomaly#most norsefolk did not ever start writing runes in ink#runes were meant for carving! carving into surfaces like wood and rock#but einarr did try ink. while he was stuck in a place with bound books and ink. he tried it and never stopped#over the centuries he has gotten very good at it!!#UNLIKE ME LOL please assume his runic handwriting is much cleaner and prettier than whatever the hell i'm able to do here#i'm only 28 years old#tbh i forgot what exactly i wrote here#it shall remain a mystery i guess#also yeah he's a leftie <3

ok I still haven’t made much progress on ssp4 yet but (1) I know Zellion is revealed in it and (2) I miraculously haven’t had their identity spoiled yet
can’t wait to see their unfuckable ass. I honestly prefer not knowing right now bc once I know then the Zellion/Szeth romance isn’t real
#I am so curious abt who it is like assuming they’re an existing cosmere char???#my og theory was post Odium corruption dalinar but I think that’s unlikely#and if it’s Kelsier just using another name/title I will actually just lose my mind lmao#idk besties!!! idk what to mentally prepare for!!!!#cosmere#ssp4#ssp4 spoilers#zellion

#lab notes#old web#<- sorry thats my catchall tag for this sort of stuff#anyways i cant wait for social media to die as a concept#humans were not meant to be interacting with this many people at once and being faced with so many differing opinions with nothing to conne#t us together#idk what will come next but forums were a damn good way to have people with familiar interest come together and not have to face the sea of#social media bullshit.#dont get me wrong they were not perfect. not by a long shot.#but GOD. at least they fostered conversation and genuine human connection.#unlike social media which is just. 'post the most outrageous thing to farm rage engagement.'#'assume everyone is acting in bad faith at all times. also assume the worst of someone if they like a thing that makes you uncomfortable.'#i hate the modern internet so fucking much.#i miss when 'dont feed the trolls' was common adage#old man yells at the cloud

Guess who is seeing the Wicked movie tomorrow!!!
Probably millions of people BUT I AM ONE OF THEM!
#I can only apologise#I am very excited#I have been waiting for this movie for many many years#and I'm going to see it in the same theatre that housed the world premiere a few weeks ago#and I can only assume I will be sitting in the exact same seat Cynthia Erivo sat in#(statistically unlikely? maybe but I FEEL it)#we paid a lot of money for what is essentially movie tickets#but I am going for the atmosphere#and the popcorn tin

the fact that we will never see the red flags shidou marked out for us in triage fully realised because of how the voting for t2 turned out agonises me each day. i need them to make me hate that man
#he always lands around the halfway point in my prisoner ranking#but i need to see him at his most deeply unlikeable#what cracks me up with shidou is that im not even against organ donation/asking ppl to consider it when a loved one goes through braindeath#i just cant forgive the fact that he abused his position for personal gain even if he was trying to save a life#because its safe to assume that in prioritising his family he made people who SHOULD have been first on their transplant lists wait longer#potentially dooming them in the process#shidou

dude this is so funny
#i was thinking about like. wait. how feasible IS it for ganon to make friends#because i've been doing a lot of basically ig overhauls with how i write ganon in my comic#he was originally not meant to be in-character at all and now i really want to make him FEEL like ganon#so i've been rethinking how his backstory works and how he reacts to it. originally i wasn't going to change anything but the tweaks i've#been making work really really well and i'm very pleased#and part of his whole deal is that he made a friend#and the more i think about it the more i really really need to think about how that happened just because it's so unlike my vision of him#in my head to like. genuinely be vulnerable and want to be friends with someone in any capacity#dude it mustve taken forever. and idk the more i think about it the more i realize it probably wasnt even the characters Intention#but also. the fact that there is a pretty strong power imbalance between the two actually?? kind of makes it more feasible in a way??#so for the record ganon is Not the one with the power here and the character i planned on befriending him is. and like#the last post i reblogged made me go. oh hey.#ganon would automatically assume he's going to get exploited or abused or attacked somehow because thats what HE does when he has power#over someone like that.#and then when the friend just. doesn't. I think he's going to be somewhat confused by that. maybe angry. probably angry#alt ganon is funny because he's mad at everything and this includes himself#make threats act like the person is an idiot. try to find a way to take advantage of it but the guys just like nuh uh#im feeling so sillyyyyyyyyyyyy
