My art is all under the tag #my art (hopefully all under it! I just tried to go and add it on them all now)

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 Swear I'm Okay"

It's dark art day today. I originally finished this a few months ago but wasn't in the headspace to post it. It's a reflection on how often times physical pain is just a manifestation of intense stress, shame, denial, or other emotions we hide from the surface. Take care of yourself or your gutty works might end up like this. (PS I hope I did the content warnings right. My first time trying to censor something here)

This is not my normal fandom, but I had to draw this. It was a physical and emotional necessity.

[hauntedoneao3]

Happy almost 2 years to this stupid thing I drew that gave me so many notifications I had to mute Tumblr

[hauntedoneao3]

Just tried to go through and add a "#my art" tag on all my art posts so they can actually be found now that I actually reblog stuff lmao

So for anyone that wants to see old old OLD art it's under this tag now. Hopefully. It's really hard to find it all so it's at least mostly under that tag now

Welcome to Animation Celebration! 2026

Very cool if you like short animations

[drill-teeth-art]

I'm sorry if this post is at all disjointed, I'm still quite rattled. I was suddenly and unexpectedly fired from my job today for minor attendance issues caused by my disabilities (I have long term pain and fatigue issues). I always finished my work and always found cover for any shifts I couldn't work or had to leave early from. But they said they "strive for perfection" and told me I should get on food stamps and disability and fired me. I'm shocked and devastated and money is kinda tight since I just moved apartments. I am considering transitioning to art commission work as my main job and looking into setting that up and updating my resume in case that doesn't pan out fast enough or at all. The commissions in my queue should actually hopefully be finished ahead of schedule now that I have much more time to work on them. Keep an eye out next week, I am planning to update my commission information and have a sale after I finish my existing queue.

I am in no immediate danger things are just really tight suddenly. If you can spare it and would like to send a tip to my cash app it's $sketchyshark thank you so much for reading and supporting me. Sorry that this is a real bummer of a life update.
