[nononsenseinthehalls]

null so pretty with his glasses wowowo

FML I MESSED UP THE ASK

HERES THE ACTUAL RESPONSE ANON IM SO SORRY

[sugarvampiearts]

I think I am accepting the fact that I probably need glasses.

Astigmatism runs in the family and I am already a little farsighted. I kind of denied needing glasses bc I didn't think my vision was bad enough to warrant them.

Until I realized that I had to squint to read the measurements on some instant potatoes. (Ik using instant taters is a sin but real mashed potatoes take too long. Bite me.)

Yeah. I probably need glasses. At least it would add a new element to my fursona (get it? its because im as blind as a bat even though thats a myth but idgaf).

Reasons I probably should have realized I need glasses way sooner (near sighted in one eye, extremely far sighted in the other, astigmatism):

- horrible depth perception

- closing one of my eyes makes everything horribly blurry

- trying on my friends glasses (similar prescription) and going "wow I thought it would be blurry, I see great"

- I had zero concept of other people's attractiveness, honestly even now I don't really believe that ugly people exist, but it was like "hey look at this person" "wow that sure is a person! That I can see!"

- horrible horrible eye strain headaches almost everyday

Since I’m pissed at authors for making glasses seem bad I made an ACCURATE pros and cons list of having glasses

Pros:

It’s really fun seeing all the options of frames and getting to choose one

Being able to see clearly for the first time is one of the best experiences someone can have

Glasses can actually make you look way better appearance-wise

If you don’t want to see someone/something just take your glasses off

You can be more expressive with glasses

You can use the arms of the frames to pull things closer to you

They come with fun little cases

Never in my life have I been made fun of or seen someone else being made fun of for wearing glasses

You can get special lenses that get darker in the sunlight

You can put them on an inanimate object to make a little friend

Cons:

They can get dirty/broken/lost pretty easily

Sometimes the frames you want are too big/small for your face

If they’re too loose they can fall off your face when put your head down

If they fall into a crevice good luck I guess

They’re really expensive

Eye appointments can be boring/uncomfortable (editing to mention something about eye appointments; there’s a test they sometimes do where you put your face on this machine and it blows air into your eyes… you’re also not allowed to blink when it happens :D)

If you need glasses but don't have them everything fucking sucks

I may update this if I think of anything else

I wish some people would just say physically disabled instead of crippled on here. I'm not asking for everyone to abandon the word, I don't want them to, I just want one part of my life that doesn't call me a cripple constantly. I spend all day at school being called a cripple by friends and peers and bullies and I try and come on here for support from other physically disabled people and it's all cripple, cripple, cripple. Please goddammit can one physically disabled person make one, literally all I'm asking for is one, encouraging post for physically disabled people that doesn't say cripple. I hate being called that word. Please, just please, one post isn't asking for much, is it? I just want one person to say something nice about my physical disabilities without calling me a slur. And I know people are going to get angry because I shouldn't police peoples language and those posts aren't made for me specifically, but I'm beyond giving a fuck. I am quite literally begging. I just need one post or reblog or comment to look at sometimes when I feel horrible and can't escape the word cripple fucking anywhere. Please. I already have a billion medical tests and my insurance won't cover an MRI so I can't be diagnosed with one of my physical disabilities, another doesn't have a name so no one takes it seriously, and my doctors refuse to try to look into anything else, not to mention my eyes or non-physical disabilities, I just need one bit of positivity. I'm quite literally lying on my bed, sobbing from pain, unable to breath(for unrelated reasons to the sobbing), with a kidney infection my doctor said I definitely didn't have a week ago, trying to figure out how the fuck I'm going to be able to go to school tomorrow, let alone finishing the year(which just began), let alone finishing high school, let alone going to college. So maybe I sound whiny or something, but, again, I'm incapable of giving a fuck. Please, goddammit, please, I'm fifteen fucking years old, all I need is to be told my strabismus makes my eyes look pretty or that blue is a pretty color for a cane or that my physical inability to sit or stand up straight doesn't make me look lazy. That it's cool my cane and brace and glasses are the same color, that my rhotacism which even after five years of forced speech therapy is starting to return doesn't make me sound like a toddler, that my slowly increasing urinary incontinence that will probably lead to diapers if I can ever afford them(which my kidney infection is only making worse in ways that may be permanent) isn't anything to be ashamed of. I will even take: it's not your fault wearing an eye patch for a year at 5 didn't fix your eyes. I will take literally anything, I just want to know at least one fucking person on this planet actually thinks anything is good about my body and is willing to say it, just once, without using a slur.
