do you like tagging characters in posts that don't mention them and seemingly have nothing to do with them? me too!

[blorbotag-central]

Welcome to BlorboTag Central, how may we help you?

gimmick blog for reblogging posts that seem like they could be tagged as your favourite (or least favourite) characters or posts that could be used in fandom/character text posts

feel free to tag this blog in posts you feel belong here. Slightly suggestive is fine, but nothing outright NSFW please

this blog is ran by Pilot! (not tagging my main for now), it/xe/he/fae pronouns. I like tagging characters in posts, so now this exists.

not currently very active, trying to build up a queue to hopefully be more active in the future

Tags (may be changed/updated later):

#textpostable -> posts to blorbotag/use in textposts

#no textpost here (or #important)-> not the above. important stuff or updates

#blorbotag central updates -> updates/important stuff about the blog

#pilot appearance -> pilot talking tag

#pilot supplied textpost -> screenshots and whatnot that were posted on this blog instead of being reblogged

If you want your post removed/deleted from here for whatever reason just let me know and I can delete it

on the topic of disabled characters, though, i think a LOT of artists give characters mobility aids that their character wouldn't actually benefit from using.

i'm sort of having a mild brain fog moment rn so i can't fully articulate what i'm on about, but i think a lot of able-bodied artists view things like canes and crutches as interchangeable. and they often don't know enough about the wide range of mobility aids to make an informed decision about what their character might actually use based on their disability

i also think that aids like walkers and rollators are sort of viewed as "cringe" on some level, and many people view them to be "just for old people," so many artists will opt for giving a character who has full-body pain and fatigue a cane (which, in many cases, can potentially WORSEN full-body pain) instead. and a lot of people don't realize that most wheelchair users are able to walk, so they don't consider it an option for characters with chronic pain

[vampantheon]

idk it's kind of frustrating. i've genuinely never, ever seen a character that uses a rollator before. not once. i cannot name a single one. i know of multiple ocs who are described to have full-body pain, dizziness, and fatigue that are drawn as cane users and are never shown with wheelchairs or walkers, though

[vampantheon]

it's also sort of sad? i've been diagnosed since i was twelve years old, and i only heard of rollators LAST YEAR. and that was only because i saw one irl and immediately asked what it was. i wonder how many disabled people out there don't even know it's an option solely because they're completely underrepresented online and in media

[vampantheon]

if you're a creative with a disabled oc, PLEASEEE check out this link. it's a very nice and detailed guide for telling which mobility aids suit someone's needs best. it's incredibly important to make the right choice for your character! mobility aids tell you a LOT about someone's lived experience. picking the right one will communicate to your audience #1 what your character goes through #2 that you UNDERSTAND what your character goes through!

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

“stabbing crying killing hot” has a fantastic ring to it
