If I ask nicely will people reblog this or do I have to be clever and funny or something too?
Omgggggg he’s a superhero
It’s been 10 years???? Omfggggg
Your regular reminder that flint still doesn’t have clean water, but nestle does and makes residents pay for it…
I really don’t feel like we as a society are talking enough about this
Hi everyone. It’s Amber again and I still really need your help. I am a Black, disabled bisexual woman. I am desperately in need of funds after I have just fled an abusive relationship where I was sexually assaulted. I’m raising funds to keep a roof over my head and a lawyer to help me win my lengthy court case.
I also have a video I’m trying to circulate on TikTok about my situation. Click here to follow me and like + share the video. Your help means the world to me.
I have attached my GoFundMe below for anyone who wants to donate. Thank you for what you’ve done so far.
Hi. My name is Amber and I am a Black, disabled bisexual woman. My ex-boyfriend sexuall… Amber Knudsen needs your support for Amber’s Ho
The fund is getting there, but there’s a while to go! Let’s help Amber!!!
“We are more than a bit concerned with the Benihana egg trick called for in the script. I’ve tried it and can only get it 1 out of 4 tries, and I’ve seen Benihana chefs flub the manoeuver when they have an entire grill as target. Mads has to crack his eggs into a 8-inch diameter skillet. The props Master calls his guy. The Production Manager calls in his guy. I call my guy. On the morning of the shoot we have 8 dozen eggs and 3 Japanese chefs with their hands made up to be hand doubles. I guess I don’t have to tell you that when Mads arrives on set, he just tosses an egg up in the air and the egg breaks on the spatula. No problem. Unbelievable. I insist it was a lucky fluke but he does it again. I accuse him of practicing when I wasn’t looking but he laughs (as if he has time to practise egg-cracking between scenes) and tells me he was a juggler in his youth.” [x] And here we all thought we’d have a million outtakes of Mads flubbing the egg trick…
What the hell kind of test tube did this man walk out of?
i think i finally understand what kojima sees in him
I really try to challenge Canadian stereotypes at every opportunity but today I was walking down Young St. in Toronto and a firetruck honked very loudly and I clutched my chest and said “MY WORD” and as it drove past, a fireman leaned out of the window and apologized to me so I just don’t know
“What? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?” local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness.
but is Ed really disabled? sure I get he lost his arm and leg
but he’s still able to move and do things perfectly
He has prosthetics. Having prosthetic limbs (that more than once break amd need repair) doesnt make him not disabled
It should also be noted that Ed:
-had to undergo very painful surgery to get automail
-had to relearn how to write because of his prosthesis (there’s a post going around showing he had to switch hands etc) and his handwriting is likely a lot worse due to that. This means automail isn’t super good for delicate work, unsurprising, considering what it’s made of.
-experiences phantom limb pain and therefore other associated stuff (this was only really shown in the manga)
-cannot go anywhere too cold without changing his automail or he’ll get really bad frost bite and it will stop working
-cannot go anywhere too hot, period, because the metal attached and under his skin will overheat and he will be badly burned
-Reattachment is painful, but needs to be done frequently if he breaks or outgrows his automail
- it’s HEAVY so much so that the strain has the potential to cause stress on his body, enough that it’s even theorized as possibly stunting his growth.
-it requires regular maintenance or it will break down, as shown when he forgets to do that and it…breaks down
-when it does need to be repaired, it takes time to do that, during which Ed uses regular prosthetics (that usually don’t quite fit him).
-costs a lot of money (not a problem for Ed due to high state alchemist salary/having mechanics as surrogate family, but explicitly noted to being the reason why most people in the fmaverse stick to regular prosthetics along with the painful surgery)
So Ed can’t actually do everything perfectly and experiences a lot of extra hassle, problems and pain people without automail don’t have to deal with! And any advantages he does have are more suited to fighting than day to day life (being able to incorporate weapons/fake out people who want to blow up his arm).
Arakawa did her research and thought it through. Automail is by no means a magic cure that solves all problems associated with losing a limb.
I’m kinda sad these two might not count.
Why wouldn’t they? Hiccup is missing a leg
But he doesn’t struggle.
Disability isn’t defined by” struggle” or suffering. Having a useful prosthetic doesn’t make them not disabled. Get the fuck out of here with that.
DISABILITY ISN’T DEFINED BY SUFFERING OR STRUGGLE
I will also point out (quietly, because that last point was SO important) that choosing not to show it on screen does not necessarily indicate a lack of either adaptation or difficulty. It might simply be none of our business.
Reblogging for that last comment…it’s really creepy how voyeuristic people act about it sometimes. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean they’re not struggling…and their apparent struggle or lack thereof isn’t what “grants” them disabled status. It’s the fact of having a disability.
Also that’s just… not true. Hiccup DOES struggle sometimes and there’s a couple instances of them showing it. The Christmas special Gift of the Night Fury (which I am not even kidding, is canon, they reference it in the third movie) shows him having trouble on ice (you know, metal leg) and the movies do occasionally show him having a little trouble getting around.
A struggle because of a disability doesn’t have to be the most extreme thing. It can be a little extra annoyance that just makes things a little harder, or makes someone not able to do things like others would. Like a movie not having captions so a Dead/HoH person can’t watch it.
“But they have functional prosthetics so are they really disabled?”
Do you know the definition of the word disabled. Have you ever looked up what a disability is.
What the fuck is even happening here.
Also, Toothless very much does count as a disabled character as well, since he legitimately cannot fly without a prosthetic fin on his tail.
Plus, in HTTYD 2, Valka proceeds to introduce her son to several dragons who became disabled as a result of injuries from traps: one with a torn wing, one with a missing foot, and another that’s entirely blind. Plus, there’s Gobber, who’s missing two whole limbs! He has a gangling walk from his peg leg, and has to deliberately switch “hands” with his other and cannot always be properly equipped. We need not get into Drago, but the point remains that Hiccup, Gobber, and these dragons very much are disabled characters.
One could easily call Sol Regem of The Dragon Prince disabled as well, since the burns on his face completely and utterly ruined his sight. He can go by smell and hearing only, which was the saving grace of two beings that he normally would’ve been able to kill within moments. Plus, there’s the ever lovely General Amaya…who is deaf and communicates predominantly by sign and lip reading.
Plus, there’s the ever famous Toph, who while she greatly improved her life when she mastered vibration sight, it’s still imperfect. She still would rely on her friends when she couldn’t properly see (read, during the airship fight during the finale, or when they were putting up Appa’s Lost posters). Plenty of other disabled characters were also shown there.
But nothing else I can say can better enunciate the point than: Disability isn’t defined by” struggle” or suffering.
Bless this post…
anyone who says a disabled person doesn’t struggle, doesn’t know the fucking meaning of struggling. We hide more from the world than you could ever imagine.
bug boys
It’s amazing how much we can see ourselves in some of the other ape species and how much they likely see of themselves in us.
everyone in the comments going “haha two apes looking at a bug...”
bitch you’re looking too
three apes looking at a bug
The Roomba That Screams When it Bumps Into Stuff
This is legitimately one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever seen.
I need one
A diva
For future reference.
Thank you.
For those who would ever need it. -C
reblogging here because i can see this being relevant to anyone who’s ever tried to get out of an abusive relationship
Reblogging because that last comment made me reread the whole thing in a new light and realize this could be vital information. So, putting it out there for everyone, and hoping no one ever really needs it.
In case anyone needs it
my favourite Bernini statue isn’t a real statue, but the damaged clay and straw angel that was the model for the bronze statue.
Here’s some more of them! The exposed wires in the wings give off such a Vibe
Wow I feel so much better about the fact that out of all the gloriousness of the vatican museum I was also completely enraptured by these broken angels as well. They were my favorites out of everything we saw that day. The lighting? The contrast of the rough substructure and the fine details? The implications of the subject matter against their degradation and subsequent elevation to museum piece? Idk but they stopped me in my tracks like nothing else.
This is Iris, it’s thought she has the world longest nose for a dog.
She’s known at the dog with a nose longer than a ruler.

i’ve been playing “Spirit tracks” again on Nds, so i decided to draw something related to it, i really love the character desing in this game :) (He estado jugando de nuevo “Spirit Tracks en Nds, asi que decidí dibujar algo relacionado al juego, me encanta el diseño de personajes! :) )
