I just like the idea that everyone but bobo thought his nickname was meant to be a “thing”

[vampantheon]

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!

The Perfect Plan.

"Game maker wants you to feel bad for playing the game" well sure. Only because feeling bad can also be fun and interesting. Book and movie also make me feel bad emotions

[pawberri]

Sure the media might be making you feel bad for being the audience of the media but the artist made the thing for you to engage with and wants you to engage 90% of the time. At most they want you to introspect about fiction and your relationship to it and if there's anything bad about it. But not actually turn off the game. Its fun to feel bad. Honestly I like when creators hate their audience and spit malice at me directly as well. Slay

funniest thing in worm so far is that a few arcs in it's like "oh btw someone made contact with an alternate earth a while back and we've been exchanging dvds with them" and im like huh that was kind of out of nowhere but ok, and then it doesnt get brought up at all for like a dozen more arcs and just when it reaches the point where i start thinking it mightve been my imagination or maybe i confused it with another story it suddenly becomes relevant and im like ohhhhhhh shit i almost forgot about DVD World
