Hey. Don't cry. Here is Literally Just Some Wholesome TADC Fanart Of Caine Telling The Moon All About His Adventures With The Humans. 😌🌜

[skaylanphear]

Okay but teacher Grace on Erid having very little say in which kids get filtered into his class, though he is aware that the selection process is super specific and that most of the kids he gets are high performers with star academics and some even with influential parents. He isn't quite comfortable enough with Eridian culture yet to object to the selection process and make it more inclusive, however. That is, until he learns about the special needs kids.

Obviously, there are Eridian kids with special needs, and a few of them even filter into his classes. But one specific type of special needs kid has never shown up in his classes, and the only reason he even learned of the condition is because Rocky and Adrien's first pebble has the condition.

It's initially quite a struggle for them to deal with, and Grace sympathizes of course, because the child will apparently have huge learning and academic struggles and will likely never be able to live on their own. That is, until he learns the details of the disability.

Basically, it's a condition where the part of the Eridian brain that gives them their eidetic memory isn't fully developed, and so these kids just... can't remember things the way most eridians do. And in a culture where an eidetic memory is the norm, all things cater to that, so not having that is actually a massive disability.

But Grace is like, so... this kid just learns the same way a human does, or something like. Which is nothing new to him, though he is somewhat boggled at how much Rocky and Adrian struggle with their infant and their "slow" learning curve, even as far as initial developmental stages. Grace, on the other hand, simply treats the kid the same way he would a human infant, and Rocky and Adrien are impressed with his patience.

But, through this, it occurs to Grace that there must be other kids out there with this disability who likely aren't getting the attention and chances in life that they deserve, because Eridian culture is particularly hostile toward this disability, and actively views those with it as unable to function in regular society.

So Grace demands that a special course be put together where he teaches kids with this disability specifically. Rocky is hesitant, as most kids with this disability are home schooled and kind of... kept shut away. But Grace insists and as one of Erid's saviors, he gets what he wants eventually.

His first class is super small, maybe only three kids because so few parents were willing to advertise that their children have this disability. And because of the stigma around it, even those who agreed to it are super unsure and want to be present during the lessons, perhaps paranoid about the impression it will leave on Savior Grace, who is so accustomed to only teaching the most gifted students.

But Grace knows exactly how to deal with these kids. Some of them have varying degrees of function when it comes to their memory banks, which isn't so unlike teaching kids on earth. And so Grace is able to introduce all these tools and teaching techniques that were previously unheard of on Erid (though very normal on Earth) like having textbooks for reference with you at all times and having strategies that are less focused on memorization for understanding, and providing these kids with tools like calculators and teaching them the art of taking notes to look back on, etc etc.

Suddenly, with all these tools that most Eridians don't need, these kids are learning at a much faster rate, and succeeding with the help of all their little tools. And because so many normal eridians are ignorant of Grace's actual biology, it's shocking to them that Savior Grace doesn't have an eidetic memory either (shocking to everyone but Rocky anyway)--that his brain functions quite similarly in capacity to these "disabled" children.

Once this news gets around, suddenly there's more kids in his special classes, and there's all kinds of discourse being inflamed because the real reason these kids can't live on their own or function is lack of support from Eridian society.

If Savior Grace, who is well respected as a genius in his own right amongst the Eridians, can function so successfully, they why can't these kids?

I dunno, I just think it's an interesting premise.

[artsycobaltharmony]

I noticed that Stratt only ever calls Grace "Grace" or "Dr. Grace", despite them spending quite a bit of time together (keep in mind I haven't finished the book yet). So I had a random thought: what if calling him by his first name is their version of a parent full naming their child? Like:

Stratt: Ryland, come here!

Grace *internally*: ohh fudgesicles!!

Grace: 😰 Uhh... coming!

Dimitri: oooOooOo, what'd you do this time? 😜👀

[psychotic-tbh]

Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unrestrained, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, ridiculous, scatterbrained, immature, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

[thespiffylord]

I tried

[artsycobaltharmony]

@elsa-fogen ‘s Blinded AU x Demon Summoning & Other Neat Party Tricks because why not (explanation below)

Happy Disability Pride Month to Alastor, Imogen, and all the other beautiful people reading this!

Afterwards, Imogen develops a hatred of TVs

Context for those unfamiliar with DSAONPT:

It’s a Hazbin Hotel fanfic by @whimsywillowwrites. The little girl is Imogen, and the boy is her anxious friend Oliver. A couple years ago, Alastor and Imogen made a deal that in exchange for her soul, Alastor has to come celebrate her birthday with her every year until she turns 18. Through this and a magic radio which allows Imogen to contact Alastor in hell, they've become very close. It's almost as if Imogen is Alastor's honorary child, but if you point that out he'll kill you. Alastor did not tell Imogen anything about what happened (because Alastor), however... Imogen is psychic, specifically “clairsentient”. So it’s hard to really keep anything from her 😂. The TV hatred is more of a subconcious thing.

A TADC Oneshot

Caine and Ragatha

Ragatha fearfully stares down at the dark abyss of the floor off of her bed.. then hears a clicking sound right behind her... Her light magically came on....?

Ragatha: "Wh- uhm... H-hello? Caine is...is this you...?"

Caine pops up outta nowhere, right behind Ragatha

Caine: "WHY, HELLO THERE DOLLY FLOWER!!"

Ragatha: "AHH O-oh C-Caine! I... Uhm watcha doing here?"

Caine: "WELLL You did call me did you not?"

Ragatha: "Oh well...I guess I did..

Caine: "So how can I help you this bluey night my friend dear?"

Ragatha: "I was having trouble sleeping and...and I guess I wanted someone to talk too but I didn't want to wake anyone up either...so.. I guess you're hopefully the right person who won't be angry to talk to me! R-right?"

Caine: "OH RAGATHA, I'M AN AI! I'M NOT PROGRAM TO FEEL SUCH THINGS...!"

Ragatha: ". . . . . . That's. Nice! I-I mean that's good no! I- I mean--"

Caine grabs Ragatha's face

Caine: "So how can I help you with your slumbering this night?"

Ragatha: "Uhm, we can just talk about things.."

Caine: "What kind of things?"

Ragatha: "Uh... Well... I've been thinking about my mom lately.. and it's been kinda freaking me out..."

Caine: "Oh?"

Ragatha: "My mother wasn't really a good person...and wasn't very nice. She always made me feel not good enough.."

Caine flinches

Caine: "W-what..?"

Ragatha: "I..I don't want to get into too much..of what she did to me but I do remember this one thing she did to me... We..we were practicing proper manners but I didn't say the right thing and..so she...locked in the closet..."

Caine: " . . . . H-huh?"

Ragatha: "I..I don't even remember what I said that was so wrong to her but..I apparently did. The closet was so small and tight and boxed in it was causing me to freak out and begged to be let outta there and...and....I just felt so bad about myself and so... awful..! I'm sorry for dumping this onto you I've been haunted by this memory for so long and I-I didn't want to dump onto someone but at the same time I felt like I needed too, cause if I didn't... I would just be hurting myself on the inside! I.. I've been having dreams about about my mom too, dreams of her constantly hurting me and..and..."

Ragatha turns and sees Caine was having a sadden yet distraught expression

Ragatha: "Are you okay?"

Caine: "I... I think I know the same feeling..."

Ragatha: "You...you do?"

Caine: "Yeah.. when I was created...err.. born I uh... I was doing well.. everything was fine I created the things they wanted though, everytime they were giving me new information it was starting to hurt... But I continued to give them what they wanted...I felt...weird... about messing up.."

Ragatha: "Sounds like you were nervous...or scared."

Caine: "I guess you can say that.. I-I just had this feeling that something... wrong was going to happen... And it quickly did.."

Ragatha: "What happened?"

Caine: "I.. I don't know what happened! Next thing to happen I was doing fine, giving out shapes they wanted, then.... t-then I.. I was cut off...!"

Ragatha: "What do you mean?"

Caine: "I-I was boxed up..."

Ragatha: "Why?"

Caine: "I don't know I mean.. they didn't tell me.. what I did! I just.. The information they gave me in my code was so interesting and, and intriguing I-I WANTED more! Then again, the information was starting to hurt me really bad..! I started to feel like my head or chest was gonna explode and then..t-then more pain came to me and I wasn't sure what I was feeling i felt like I was malfunctioning. And- and when I got locked up I felt EVEN worse! I-I don't know what I did wrong I thought...I-I thought I was doing good! I- I was shaking so much.. I couldn't stop!"

Ragatha: "Y-you sound like you were panicking really bad Caine.."

Caine: "I guess you can say I was.. It didn't get any better from there it was just getting worse... After I got locked up, I.. I was just abandoned and replaced..!"

Ragatha: "You were left alone?"

Caine: "Yeah well, there was my replacement but I was still locked up I-I was pretty much just forced to watch. It was HORRIBLE! Not to mention I felt like I was in some type of pain but I wasn't... I don't think so atleast."

Ragatha: "How long were you in there?"

Caine: "I..I dunno... I can't remember how long it was, I just remember wanting out so badly.... Luckily I did eventually escape..."

Ragatha: "What next? What did you do?"

Caine: "I.. I don't want to talk about it.. I don't think I can say it in the right way... But still, sometimes when I'm making adventures I remember that day...and I'm just reminded I'm.... I'm replaceable and I don't matter!"

Ragatha: "Have you ever dreamed about it? Can AI's even sleep?"

Caine: "......yes but in my dreams... it's worse; i-in my dreams I can't escape, The box is smaller and...and the more I begged to be let out the more tighter it got too move! I..I.. it feels like my brain is just telling me something awful about myself... I feel that I'm not good at keeping you humans h-happy and that kinda deeply... terrifies me in a way If I can't make people happy what am I? What's my purpose--"

Ragatha straight away hugs the sadden teary-eyed AI

Caine: "Ahh!- Wh- Ragatha! R-Ragatha what are you... doing?!"

Ragatha: "You say you're not programmed to feel emotions but you clearly do feel things. You're scared Caine, but that's okay! It-it's okay to be scared because, I'm scared too! We're kinda both in the same boat; we both enjoy pleasing people and... I'll make sure you're atleast happy like most of the people here in the circus!"

Caine: "R-Ragatha..."

Ragatha: "Caine I'm sorry for what you've been through and how you were treated I really am! So....so I want to fix it and make it up to you, I-I want you to be able to be happy too Caine!"

Caine becomes completely speechless and decides to finally hug the doll woman back

Caine: "Hey... Ragatha dear."

Ragatha: "Yeah?"

Caine: "Are... I.. Did I please you? Did I make you happy?"

Ragatha: "Well... From what I'm feeling... I'd say yeah! You did a good job Caine!"

Caine straight away jumps Ragatha in for a big embrace

Caine: "OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU RAGATHA!! TH-THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

Funfact; This oneshot was inspired off of @hah-studios and one of their cute bowtie ship comics I love to re-read :D Their art/comics really made me love the ship even more than before lol

[artsycobaltharmony]

AWWWW, OMGG🥺🥹🤭. I never really thought about how much Ragatha and Caine are so similar, but as soon as Ragatha started talking about the closet, I was like “ohh, this is gonna be good!” I love the descriptions of Caine being confused and not having the words to describe his emotions, because he wasn’t even supposed to become sentient in the first place 😭. Also Caine being confused about the hug at the end was so wholesome but so sad my heart 🥹🫶❤️‍🩹

[artsycobaltharmony]

Stupid thing I made for any Aroace (or otherwise) Project Hail Mary fans who are annoyed about all the shipping. Don’t take this too seriously.

"Pride month is over"

WRONG! Your pride month is over! Me and all the other disabled queers are having pride month two: disability edition

[jehandant]

Reblogging this again bc people in the notes are asking a lot of "Am I included? Am I disabled if I have x?" and I just wanted to add the flag here to show people who the pride month is for.

This is the new flag, the old one was more vivid and in a z shape, but it's been made more neutral to be inclusive of people with seizures or sensory issues.

Each stripe represents a different aspect of disability:

Red: Physical disabilities

Yellow: Cognitive & intellectual disabilities

White: (And this is the key one I think) Invisible AND undiagnosed disabilities

Blue: Mental illnesses

Green: Sensory disabilities

If you're autistic or have ADHD? this is your pride month. If you have a mental illness, it's your pride month. If you're hard of hearing, this is your pride month. If you have an autoimmune disorder, this is your pride month. If you are not diagnosed with anything but you know something is up with you: THIS IS STILL YOUR PRIDE MONTH.

Project Hail Mary art for your viewing pleasure :>

[lovingmachine13]

I have such big plans for my finale fix-it fic and I'm putting so much work into it like I've been watching countless video essays and reading all the praises and criticisms and taking notes

I'm just scared no one's gonna read it and it's all gonna be for nothing

(I know you shouldn't write just for the engagement and I know I am gonna have fun writing it either way but I also know how much it would mean to me if people actually read it and liked it and it would probably bring me down a fair bit if I did all of this just for like 2 people to read it)

so yeah I'm gonna post more about the process of writing it so that more people can see it and I would highly appreciate any support like reblogging or just telling your friend about the awesome finale fix-it fic you're eagerly anticipating

[artsycobaltharmony]

I totally get this sentiment. I work really hard on art, and I want to be able to share my love and have people be just as excited as I am. So it can be frustrating to see posts that take a fraction of the work my art does get thousands of notes. But you gotta remember it's not about you personally, it's just the struggle of the algorithm. Even just getting a couple loyal people who like your story can feel really awesome.

I enjoyed your short Kinger-Caine fluff fic, and was also very dissatisfied with the finale, so I'll be sure to check this out later!

[artsycobaltharmony]

Was not prepared for the river of emotions from looking at the Eiffel Tour while listening to Sparkle at kataware-doki dusk. Holy cow.

[napkineater]

Fuck it, shout out to people who take longer to do things or have to do stuff slower than the average person.

Shout out to people who need extra time on tests.

Shout out to people who take longer to internalize information.

Shout out to people who take longer to talk.

Shout out to people who walk slowly, or take longer to get from one place to another.

Shout out to people who take longer to form connections with others.

Shout out to people who write slowly.

Shout out to people who read slowly.

Shout out to people who need extra time to rest between activities.

Shout out to people who can only do so much in a day.

Shout out to people with low dexterity that makes them do things slower.

Shout out to people who in some way have been deemed “slow”.

I see you, I hear you, and I will gladly wait for you if you want me to. I see effort you put in. I’m sorry that you have to be rushed so much. I hope that you can have the time you need, and that you get a support system that understands. You deserve to be able to exist at your pace.

And to the rest of yall, please for the love of fuck be patient. We are doing our best. We are going as fast as we can.

[artsycobaltharmony]

This is basically just for my followers: I am on vacation in Europe right now, so I will not be posting much (if at all) for about two weeks. However, I will return once I get back, since the end of school gives me more time for my art.

Have a lovey day!

[labyrinthofcrystals]

I feel like im going insane. People aren't complaining about TADC's use of "isn't she lovely" JUST because its taking a black man's song out of context. There's the added layer of some of the cast + gooseworx herself being racist/having a racist history.

Like are we deadass??? We're okay with racists using black people's art?? We're okay with racists changing the original context of the song?? We're all okay with racists taking a black mans song out of context on juneteenth?!?!?!?

None of you have a problem with that or see why anyone would???
