I love you amputees with prosthetics covered in stickers. I love you cane and crutch users with colorful and stylized walking aids. I love you wheelchair users with decorative spokes and lights on your wheels. I love you people who wear joint supports or braces with designs on them, whether you bought or commissioned them that way or customized them yourself. I love you people who wear helmets covered in sharpie doodles. I love you mobility aid and adaptive device users who make your equipment your own to truly reflect that it's an extension of yourself. I love disabled joy and whimsy.

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

[tlirsgender]

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

[tlirsgender]

Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again

One of the common criticisms I get on That Comic Thing I'm working on is dissatisfaction that I write Hornet to "hate" the Pale King.

I find this fascinating because if she merely hated the Pale King, this story would be so much simpler.

With that criticism usually comes a similar upset that the Pale King is largely portrayed in a negative light, with a weird assumption that I see no nuance in his actions.

I choose to (mostly) be entertained by this, because I don't have the energy to repeatedly explain that: 1) Hornet's opinions aren't necessarily my opinions; 2) Hornet's opinions aren't necessarily correct; 3) Hornet resents her father because she understands and empathizes with him; and 4) Hornet is under no obligation to forgive him, even if that makes her a hypocrite.

There's certainly more generous interpretations of the source material, which might see Hornet as more sympathetic to her father's legacy... but they're less interesting to me, and so I forgo them in favor of the narrative.

Anyways, if this is how some folks feel about my exploration of Hornet's relationship and perception of her father, it might actually start a riot when we finally get to unpacking Hollow's current relationship with the White Lady.

Oh well~

I dont really understand why some people think Hornet would hate the Pale King. I always have thought of how Hornet views PK in a similar way what I think to my dad.

My dad isnt great. He has hurt some people, but he has also helped people. My dad has hurt me in ways that weren't physical, but never in a way that was intentional. He is willing to help if I need it and helps others. As ive gotten older ive learned more and more about the side of him I didnt see or didnt recognize as a kid. If I had met him as an adult with no blood relationship, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near him... but he's my dad. He raised me to the best of his abilities. He made bad decisions while doing it, but he tried his best. No one is perfect, and no one can know exactly how things will turn out...

I can only imagine that those feelings are greater when the parent in question is a god. Everything he's done at a grander scale. PK didnt make great decisions, but he made the decisions he thought was best at the time... The same with almosr every parent both real and fictional.

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!
