[EDIT: obviously Pete isn’t the only disabled character but he is the only one played by an actor with the same condition! I worded my initial tweet poorly whoops it should say “A visibly disabled character played by a visibly disabled actor”] Reposting from twitter because I really want to see more people celebrating this representation! Cleftie representation is so rare in media because of how the condition affects the ability to speak! Here’s a quote from Maher himself from this interview https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/matthew-maher-plays-part-written-annie-bakers-flick-47140/

I was so happily surprised that this was never mocked or played for laughs with Pete’s character - something that likely other older pirate media absolutely would have done 😒 - not only is he a supporting main character but he gets an onscreen romance as well? 😊

Cleft lip and palate is actually a common condition that occurs during pregnancy and surgery can restore normal function with minimal scarring and speech therapy can help too - it also affects face shape, and sometimes breathing! So fanartists and fanfic authors take note!

Representation is so important! Think of all the kids out there who rarely get to see anyone like them get to be a fun gay pirate! Please don’t accidentally erase Pete’s cleft lip scars or lisp or I will crawl through the internet and cut off your toe and make you eat it 😇

I used the term “visible disability” in the first tweet and while some people consider the cleft a disability, not everyone feels the same, it is a diverse community with many opinions, and language is very personal ❤

But what is most important is that more people get to see themselves represented on screen and thats what makes Our Flag Means Death so great!!! Big thanks to my cleftie friend @twinpersonalitys​ who helped me out with my wording! And if you wanna check out my thread on twitter here you go!

Response for when the far-right pick a fight by spewing ignorant divisive bollocks, then claim that they're being 'bullied', or 'cancelled', or 'oppressed' or 'silenced' when other people argue back or criticise them for said bollocks.

me every month: has my period AGAIN 

me every month: 

[epicghostdragon]

Welllllllllllllll periods suck(trust me, I was emotionally close with a woman, in fact close enough to feel her goddamn periods. Fuck I fucking hated it, men, don’t get that attached. Be supportive, feed her ice cream and whatever else she asks for, but don’t get attached enough to feel them. It’s not worth it.

Anyway, I hate to be callous but that’s just your body telling you to hurry up and get pregnant. Of course birth control also makes them not as bad, depending on what kind. Of course you find out that there’s more kinds of birth control than there are types of oil, which is a pain. There are more period blood containment things(yes, tht includes tampons, pads, cups, etc.) than there are types of oil according to my dad who actually knows his shit about the oil,saying there’s like 4 types.(Yes, talking about motor oil here)

So ladies, find what’s right for you. Ask a doctor. Test some different period things out. It’s for your own good
