Hi! I was just wondering if this event is ever going to be held again? I only just found it and I’m sad to have missed it.
Thanks!

however, you can always work through the prompts at your own pace for now and tag us! we’re still checking the blog periodically and will keep it active.
I’ve added some new art and kinds of art onto my redbubble, consider giving it a look and supporting me! I just finished my old job today and start my new job on Wednesday, I have an appointment Friday to hopefully get medically approved for a wheelchair or walker.
hi y'all! I'm opening commissions! I'm a queer, trans, disabled artist and educator currently in funky career limbo due to COVID and family stuff. Venmo preferred because it doesn't have my deadname plastered to it 😅 reblogs appreciated!! 💕 image description under the cut/in alt text

Any hunter worth their salt knows death is always around the corner. Eileen thinks it's a little ridiculous so many are convinced their hearing is what's saved them so far.
Once again taking advantage of an awesome Supernatural fandom event (this one by @disablednatural) to promote my Eileen fic! I'm not sure that I'll be able to create something new in the remaining time, but I wanted to at least share some relevant work that I think y'all will enjoy :D
[ID: A digital painting of Castiel and Dean Winchester. Dean is in a wheelchair and wearing a green jacket, blue jeans, and work boots. Castiel is crouched on the floor and wrapped in a blue tarp.

Spn 15x20 fix-it AU where Dean survives barn hook of death, because he receives medical attention. He lives a long, fulfilling life in a wheelchair.
Dean and Cas Reunion
After Cas falls to Earth, he worries that being around Dean will be awkward, because Cas declared his love with no expectation of seeing Dean again. But Dean loves Cas too, and now Dean has a chance to tell Cas how he feels.
For my favorite autistic’s birthday! Thank you for being the best and making me feel seen.

One is circular and black, the other is oval shaped, colors light blue fading into dark blue. In his right hand he is holding a book that is mostly covered with his hand.

There are two little flags to the left side of Benny. One is the Transgender Pride flag, the other is the Disabled Pride flag. End ID]
More Headcannons Time:
After Benny found out he couldn’t play football, he took to finding other hobbies. One of his favorite things to do became reading, and a series he got EXTREMELY invested in was called “Vampirates”.(it makes sense, okay?)
These books became Benny’s hyperfixation/special interest for years, and even as he got older he’d re-read the stories from time to time.
Also, the little circle patch on his arm came from a t-shot injection ❤️
This is the cover of the book I was trying to draw:
[ID: A grayscale drawing of Cas and Dean holding hands and walking with canes. Cas is on the left with the cane in his right hand and Dean is on the right with the cane in his right hand.

Dean is wearing a t-shirt that has a car on it, above the car it says ‘1969’ and underneath it says ‘Cheurolet’, over that shirt is a button up shirt, he has on dark pants and dark shoes. Their nails are painted, and they both have on wedding rings. Dean has a hearing aid in his ear, his hair is spiked/styled upwards. Cas’ hair is longer than in canon and very curly.]

be gentle with me. cerebral palsy!dean’s afraid of kissing. cas tells him it’s okay. written for @disablednatural & the prompt - relationships.
he’s not—he’s not afraid. but he isn’t exactly comfortable either. they call it spastic cerebral palsy for a reason.
it’s just that he’s always tried to hide it, and now that he and cas are closer, the difficulty in hiding them has increased, especially since they’ve started whatever this is.
the problem is that dean, as a symptom of cerebral palsy, doesn’t have control of his limbs. they jerk sometimes, move stiffly, contract if he’s concentrating too hard.
and it’s not a really big problem anymore. he’s learned to deal with it.
it’s just that—dean would like to kiss cas. he would. but most of his spasms are located in his face, his neck. and quite fucking frankly, dean’s not going to risk having one when he’s trying to get some kissing action.
goddamnit, he knows he sounds like a high schooler. but it’s also cas. someone he wants to impress.
besides, it’s not like he’s suddenly developed this fear. it’s just that it’s cas. and dean, well, dean is scared that the angel’s going to take one look at him and leave.
so, of course, dean avoids him as much as he can. until now.
dean’s reading a book in the library, this time not for lore or a case, but kurt vonnegut. slaughterhouse five.
he hears cas come in then, raising his head at the distinct sound of footsteps.
“hello dean.”
the words wash over him like familiarity and dean can’t help but say hey back. no harm, no foul.
cas sits down next to him, unbearably close. if dean wants, he can reach out and touch him.
but in that moment—that singular moment—he has a spasm. dean’s head jerks to the left, feeling a shudder travel across his shoulders.
cas looks up, concern written all over his face.
they call it spastic cerebral palsy for a reason. and for dean, the spasms come in multiples of twos and threes.
he can’t control them. and he didn’t want cas to see. dean’s left hand bunches up, even as his right grips the table in fear.
god, god, he can’t look at cas.
it’s then that he feels cas’ hand cover his own, thumb slowly stroking across his knuckles.
“dean, it’s okay,” cas whispers, though there’s no one around except them. “just relax.”
dean finds enough courage to look cas in the eye. the angel’s got a soft smile, completely focused on dean in the moment. maybe, maybe—
another spasm, this time smaller. dean closes his eyes.
he feels cas’ hands slide up into his hair, framing his face. cas leans in. dean holds his breath. the angel presses his lips very gently to dean’s cheek—a kiss—before moving over to the other one and doing the same there.
dean has another spasm. cas presses his lips to the side of dean’s mouth, just barely a glance.
they’re so close now. face to face. cas runs his thumb across dean’s cheekbone.
“oh, dean.” cas is soft, gentle with him. the angel is still whispering. “it’s okay. it changes nothing.”
tears collect at the corners of dean’s eyes. he—he doesn’t know what to do.
cas tilts his head, a sympathetic look on his face. wipes the tears away.
“is it okay if i kiss you now? properly?”
dean nods. and this time, he isn’t so afraid anymore.
