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!

"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.

You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.

A little guide to what the EAH characters were supposed to look like according to the books,since the show has changed the appearance of many:

Apple: Is described as curvy in the bosom-hip area, and in general she has soft features (I remember that her lips were especially described as full). Darling used the term "plump", so she is indeed curvy. She needs glasses, but uses contact lenses. She shorter than Raven. Vox populi the fairest of princesses

Raven: She's taller than Apple,but still in the avarage height. It's not explicitly stated, but given that she compares herself to Apple in her chapters,It's safe to say that she's very thin and relatively flat-chested. She looks a lot like her mother, who was very beautifull

Maddie: The shortest girl in the school. Not just short, really petite. She gets her hair from her father, who is completely mint green in the books, unlike in the show where he is blonde.

Briar: Apple confirms that she's one of the tallest girls, and when she wears heels, she's actually the tallest. We also know the actual style of her, since she often expresses her passion for heavy jewelry, leather skirts and boots, sequined tops.

The Charmings: The siblings DO INDEED look alike in the books. Daring and Darling have the same WHITE blonde. Daring is "only" athletic, while Darling is described as muscular due to her training. Dexter is described as lanky. He and Darling are probably the same height because she uses his armor.

Hunter: He is described as very similar to his mother,with tall and broad-shoulders BUT not to the machismo levels of his father, who is "similar to his wife, but taller and broader". Fun Fact: in the books, Cupid is attracted to him and not Dexter.

Sparrow: While the show kinda painted him ugly, In the books he is very cute. Raven admits that despite her efforts she is still attracted to him (physically). He's not a redhead! In the book he has brown hair and dark green eyes. They are from his dad since his paternal aunt has the same colors. However, on a physical level they don't look very similar,so he's taken after Marian more than Robin

Cedar: She's visibly made of wood, but unlike the series, so is her face. When she became human her face "is soft and has taken on color"

Cerise: She's very tall and muscular. She has the typical muscles of a sprinter. Raven is really charmed by her

We need more animated shows where the characters, especially the girls, get to wear a million different outfits for seemingly no plot-related reason. Often just to sell dolls. It's good for your soul, it's cleansing, it's therapeutic, it cures your depression and waters your crops. It is not good for your finances, though.

As requested by someone over asks, here's all the Ever After High redesigns I've done compiled together on some simple gradient backgrounds to not distract from the designs! Crazy seeing them all together but I love all of them so far!

I do not "only engage in media with queer characters." I enjoy the media, and then I actively LOOK for queer characters. If I don't find one, I LOOK HARDER. If I can't find queer characters, I HEADCANON them as queer. You complain about your favorite media not having queer representation? Then I will FIND queer representation. And if I can't find it, then I will FORCE queer representation.

[geekgirles]

Girly media is so important, actually. Where else are you going to find shows that constantly and consistently depict how hyper femininity and badassery aren't mutually exclusive? As a matter of fact, more often than not, they even portray their tomboys much more realistically and respectfully than most male-led media.

Cute girls beating you an inch of your life while serving cunt. What more could you possibly ask for?

[arsenicisanelement]

Girly media is the best media !!!

[abyssaldyke]

It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.

Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the sky

Champagne Supernova - Oasis _______________ I'm posting my PHM fanarts rather backwards haha but this was the first one I drew back in May right after I saw the movie and I remembered being overwhelmed with feelings after it was done. (I was also so happy they put my fav Oasis song in the PHM trailers, it suits the story so well T_T) It's been a long time since a movie has hit so many checkmarks for me in terms of story, themes, and the inner astronomy nerd in me. I've watched Ryan Gosling since his Notebook/Crazy Stupid Love days, but Drive was when I started to truly become a fan and he's honestly been on a generational run since then, PHM is no exception. __________ (Small/large prints are also available on my etsy ❤️)
