Introduction Post

(Forgot to do this when I first made my account, so now is a better time than never! Last Updated: September 29, 2025)

Hello everyone! My name is GreenSoda to some degree across most of the websites and platforms I'm on, but you can call me Ray or Kota. I use they/them or sometimes he/they pronouns. I'm a college student in the EST/GMT-5 timezone studying Criminal Justice when I'm not obsessing over my silly little interests. I'm a Twitch and Discord moderator for Spepticle, Meagon, and Benji so you will probably see me around there quite often. I'm hard of hearing and neurodivergent, so I may post things about that here and there on my blog. Now, onto other stuff...

interests: musicals, mcyt, writing, reading, animals, coding(html/css mostly), figure skating, nature, horror movies

main streamers(in no specific order): Spepticle, Lukey, Foolish, Benji, Tubbo, Meagon, various Lifesteal and other MCYT streamers when I'm not busy

fandoms: the realm smp/trsmp, lifesteal smp, statesmp, pow creation smps, newsies, julie & the phantoms, fnaf, pokemon, probably more that I can't think of right now

dni: endos, homophobes, transphobes, ableists, AUDISTS, racists, trump supporters, fascists, you get the gist. don't be an asshole and support human rights.

other info: don't mention drowning or sh around me and we'll be chill. tone tags are always appreciated!

Lighthearted but sincere venting in the tags

[whump-galaxy]

The whumpee trying new mobility aids. They help, somewhat. But the more they use them, the more they hurt.

Crutches bruise their armpits and misalign their hips. Canes cause wrist pain, eventually causing their entire arm to get too tired to use it. A wheelchair requires upper body strength they haven’t quite honed yet.

They wonder if it’s worth it to even use one if they’d be in pain anyways.

[write-with-will]

THIS FOR HOH WHUMPEES TOO!!!

Let me be the first to tell you that hearing aids (At least the ones I have) HURRTTT. Especially when you’ve had them in all day. They’re so incredibly uncomfortable, and take a lot of day to day activities away (you can’t wear hats that fall behind your ears without static, you can’t tuck your hair behind your ears without static, you can’t wear over the ear headphones without static and it being uncomfortable, and you can’t wear in the ear headphones bc the hearing aid is ALREADY IN YOUR EAR)

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again sign language needs to become part of the mandatory school curriculum

[razzle-de-tazzle]

I am hearing. However I have been taking weekly sign language lessons for almost 6 years now and I cannot stress how important it is to become more taught in schools. It should be mandatory and I do believe that everyone should at least know the basics if they are physically/mentally able to sign.

Also, because the way sign language should be taught is also very important, this could become a huge employment opportunity for HOH and d/Deaf people.

Q&A: A primer on researching for deaf and hard of hearing characters

-> New website blog post has dropped!

I’ve been blogging about sensitively portraying deafness in fiction on my Tumblr for almost a decade and providing sensitivity reading services on the same topic for a little over five years. (I write about and sensitivity read for autistic, FTM transgender and non-binary representation too, but this all started with a passion for improving the representation of d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) experiences). I’m slowly sorting through all my old posts from my non-professional social media with an eye to publishing some here, but my progress on that is… well, let’s just say that calling it ‘glacial’ is an understatement. Aside from the sheer volume of material, part of the problem is deciding the order in which to share it, so I figured that it would be a good idea to start with the most basic building blocks of sensitive and authentic representation: the research.

Many of the questions I’ve received over the years are infused with a sense of anxiety and a need for reassurance that the asker’s ideas aren’t offensive. While I believe much of this comes from a sincere desire to do right by the identity that they’re representing, I’m also well aware that in the age of digital communication, social media and cancel culture, even a simple mistake feels charged with an undercurrent of dire consequence. But being trapped in anxiety over this helps nobody – least of all you. The reality is, you will probably never screw up as badly as you think you might, and making a mistake in good faith is always a hundred times better than saying something maliciously. On the flip side, you can’t control other people’s reactions to your story either (and you certainly can’t avoid the trolls and nitpickers who often ooze out of the woodwork to deliver the most rancid, bad-faith interpretations of a story that you’ve ever seen). You can only do your due diligence when researching, be receptive to feedback, apologise if you need to and approach everything you create with the intention to do the best you can.

Ideally, you would also eventually hire a sensitivity reader or find a D/HH person who’ll volunteer to sensitivity read your story for free, but I fully understand this isn’t always possible – and during the early stages of story development, a set of critical eyes might be the opposite of helpful anyway. Besides, although many sensitivity readers will fact-check and offer guidance, the initial research for any story is usually a solo endeavor.

This is where I hope this article will be helpful. I’ll start with a brief explanation of some of the language I use when talking about deafness, then break down what your research should focus on, where to find information and how to assess its reliability (particularly when it comes to weeding out audist and ableist sources), and finish with some of my thoughts on how to get your research from your notes into the narrative. There is also a ‘further resources’ section at the end and anecdotes about my own experiences with deafness throughout, but this article is less of a “how to” on writing D/HH characters and more of a toolkit intended to help simplify and streamline the research process.

hey so. this was the LAST person I expected to be genuinely upset over Avid's death??? hello????? UNDOOM MY YAOI THIS INSTANT

[torglives]

i just i love minecraft above all else. respect my favourite game NOW or reap the consequences... especially upsetting, to me, because minecraft is so often demeaned and looked down upon BECAUSE it has such a largely "outcasted" community compared to the rest of the gaming-sphere. linguistically and nationally diverse, queer, disabled. it's not uncommon to see it written off as "not a real game" because the gaming and streaming community at large does not see the minecraft community as people worth respect, because they do not see them as equal people. that's where the lack of respect for the game comes from. don't forget that. EVER. if you ever find yourself wondering why minecraft roleplay is not respected as a medium the same way gta roleplay is, don't forget the saturation of queer storytelling in mcrp.
