sorry if i tag you and youve already seen it, i just wanna make sure those who have tumblr are able to be credited (those who arent on tumblr can be found under the individual posts ive put on my deviantart of the same username)
There’s a reason lots of good parents say to babies stuff like
“You’re excited to go to the park!”
“Oh, it makes you mad that we can’t go outside.”
And then when the babies get a little bit older the parents can say
“You seem upset. Are you sad?”
“Are you excited that gramma is coming over today?”
Which lets the kid (who is learning to utilize speech) respond with yes or no, which may prompt more questions, like
“So you aren’t sad, are you angry?”
“Yes, does it make you happy when gramma is here?”
And then, finally, when the child is learning to use language in a more complex way, the parents can say,
“How does it make you feel?”
“Why are you feeling like that?”
And it’s all about teaching emotional awareness. I really reccomend using the process on yourself. Learn to ask, “am I happy?” “Am I sad?” “Am I anxious?”
Then practice identifying, out loud or on paper if you can, “I’m happy.” “I’m upset.” “I’m sad.” “I’m anxious.”
Final step: “Why am I feeling anxious? I’m still thinking about that awkward conversation earlier.” “Why am I happy? It’s such a beautiful day outside.” “Why am I sad? None of my friends are responding to my messages.”
It really helps you notice patterns (“I’m more likely to be happy when I’m around this person.” “When I haven’t eaten, I often feel angry.” “If I don’t plan ahead, I get anxious.”) which is the first step in avoiding things and people that are bad for you and encouraging things and people that are good.
I do this with my kids. My 18mo daughter has already started randomly telling us her current moods. It is incredibly endearing to randomly hear a toddler/baby say “happy!” without prompting. It’s also very helpful when she tells us she’s sad so we can find out what’s upsetting her before it turns into a meltdown.
Warning: if you teach your toddlers basic awareness of their own emotions they will acquire awareness of yours too. I can’t be sad for a second any more without a small child handing me his favourite toys and asking if I need a band-aid (physical injury being a primary cause of his sadness).
Please, with everything that I have in me, I am begging for help for a family of 2 disabled black siblings (my autistic brother & myself with a physical disability) to not go homeless again during this pandemic.
For those who don’t know, I am a physically disabled black woman and the sole caretaker of my autistic brother. Last year, we lost the home our father worked his entire life for after he passed away. My brother and I were made homeless.
Since, we’ve been able to rent a home. But with our unique situation of no income, no rental history, no credit… nobody wants us as renters and the only deal we were able to get was to pay our entire YEAR’s worth of rent up front.
PLEASE READ MOST RECENT UPDATE AT END OF STORY!
We have lost the home … Dave Davis needs your support for Help 2 Black & Disabled Siblings
The last I updated you all, we were waiting on a hearing to determine the status of my brother’s disability case. We have been fighting for his disability for the whole year since we moved across the country, and after it was illegitimately denied TWICE before… the hearing that was set for June 3rd finally came. It was our last hope to get the funds we need to pay our upcoming rent. But when the date came… after waiting tirelessly… we were informed that it was postponed until 3 months from now.
Three Months.
Our lease ends at the end of July, we DO NOT have Three Months. The way the disabled are discarded like nothing is unbearable. You have no idea the pain I felt that day… seeing them treat a case that is so important that it stands between us and our home… like just another file. Like it means nothing. And this is what I mean when I say…
They Do NOT Want Us To Live.
It would have been our last hope at stable income to be able to pay our rent normally. We do not have any income at this time. Even the art that I was making was taken down by Etsy. Everyday I wake up in agony of not knowing what’s going to happen next.
Call after call with no leads to any help. I haven’t had any transportation for the entire year since we were first kicked out of the only home we ever knew, and it’s been so unbelievably hard to find any work that I’m capable of without it.
I have given my everything.
And I have gotten nothing back.
And with all of it, I still sit here with my only sliver of hope to reach out to anyone who might see this.
For the past several months, I have been trying to work up the courage to ask for help again. The strength to reach out again. If it was just me, I don’t think I could do this. But my brother, who has no way whatsoever of taking care of himself… what is he supposed to do if we lose our home? It has taken everything in me to sit here and write this cry for assistance.. but cry, I must.
I have done nothing but look for other options. Tirelessly, day in and day out I have reached out to so many of these “resources” who are supposed to help us in times like this and time and time again, I have been shut down. My willpower has been crushed so much it’s not even describable.
If you can help us, please know that even the lowest amount that you can possibly afford could help us right now. I’m so scared of losing everything again.
I haven’t been able to rest. Every moment I’m awake just brings me back to the trauma I’ve experienced this year.
I would just like to say with you all that
Disabled Black Lives Matter.
We deserve to feel safe and secure. We deserve a world that cares what happens to us. I know there are people out there who do. So I am asking you, one more time.

We need your help.
Please help us, share our GoFundMe, share our story, donate anything you can at this time. If we can reach our goal we can be safe for AT LEAST another year.
Help us keep a roof over our heads so that we can KEEP TRYING.
We only have a matter of weeks at this point and we’re not even close. Please reblog if you can’t help and please know even the smallest donation could help us so so much!
Finished an Icon today, this time featuring Kehlani Karton. She was originally a fashion designer by day, vigilante thief by night...but since I designed the AU version of Rouge, the role has already been filled so either she will be Rouge's assistant or...a rival...or just given a new backstory entirely. I don't know yet, but in any case, take this for now.

Woop woop, been sick the last 3 days but I managed to finish this for @xxorbeaxx on instagram of their character Rika with Zero (Infinite without his mask & the phantom ruby for those who aren't aware). This is part of my payment toward them for a new character, so ye. Hope you all enjoy it. Also please take a look at her work, she's an amazing artist and she deserves a lot more people interacting with her stuff!
On another note, I'm having a little burnout so I've been more focused on animation lately, but I'll try to slowly work my way back into making art. Anywho, see ya next time.

Reference for one of the other emerald warriors, this is Keegan. He represents the red chaos emerald and probably has the most chaotic personality of the warriors as a whole.
