Hey everyone! this is where the zebra is currently with the design.

It has knee braces!! I will most probably be drawing the zebra usually with them on, but it’s no requirement, for example if anyone else wants to draw the zebra :-]. I always like to make sure an animal design has official colors underneath any clothing and accessory anyway. I think this will be final! thank you everyone for your feedback!

As a reminder, aside from why the zebra was requested for this flag, this is also just a zebra with the disability pride flag on it. It’s just a deisgn to fit the flag, with input from other disabled people in our community. It doesn’t mean other animals can’t have designs with these colors, too! I don’t mean this design to be the only mascot for all disabled people. It’s just a silly series i do of pride animals, and at the time, during disability pride month, I wanted to see what everyone wanted me to start off with for this flag!

the goal with my pride animals is to take requests and make people feel happy and seen.. that’s all <:-)

fang ive been meaning to ask this abt sylus actually and just remembered when you mentioned the yuta thing! with characters you’re not that interested in how do you find motivation to write for them at all?? i can’t get into it even if i think i can decently characterize a character im not rlly into

i’m not sure 🤔 i guess it’s never occurred to me that this is not common but for me i enjoy characterization the most when it comes to writing so doing analysis in that way isn’t limited to personal blorbos i guess. im like ,, more curious about characters i don’t already like

bachira is a good example. i don’t have any like ,, personal interest in bachira. he’s not my Favorite. but i think his personality is an interesting subversion and i enjoy studying him in my writing. i find that im more inclined to do this with characters my mutuals like.

like i’m truthfully not into chigiri almost at all 😭😭 but i do like studying his characterization. this is also true for sylus and yuuta. sometimes the inverse is true where i love a character but don’t take a lot interest in writing them. i’d almost say the more i personally like a character the less i want to write them - because ive already don’t the research for them in terms of characterization

so i rarely write for my own faves much to my detriment. i’m a lot more inclined to write characters i don’t understand or care for - especially if my mutuals like them

like i’m not really all that into shidou, but i could see myself writing something extensive for him since he’s interesting to the mutuals. so on and so forth

I took a semester of ASL in undergrad and then never went further, but I’ve always wanted to learn more ASL

So when I saw a six week course in town for ASL that was after work I jumped at it lol. I’ve only been to one class so far, but I have to say that the thing I found JARRING was actually being verbally spoken to

You see, my instructor for that semester of ASL like nine years ago was Deaf so our class was completely immersive. I didn’t think about this fact until I was being spoken to by the (hearing) teacher of my current class how unprepared I was to be spoken to and speak

Only covered the alphabet so far which I had a good grasp of, so hopeful the next class will be more new content for me!!

i know people make jokes of pure vanilla being cookie jesus (given that its highly likely that he is inspired by him, according to the kingdom wikipedia) but genuinely speaking, pure vanilla accurately represents the concept of radical kindness that jesus both practiced and taught to his disciples

And after a million two years, I FINALLY finished this kinda ambitious idea I had of an old pic @hollifo did!

I originally wanted to include a bg similar to the DTIYS I did way back when, but it wasn't working with the other elements sadly so I choose to axe it. Hol's original version below!

so like.. we don't watch a lot of content from people with fibromyalgia, or cfs, or really anything like that, for a handful of reasons. but occasionally we do, and man. it's a lot

I loved posting my little future snippet of my Solara & Elain becoming besties from my fanfic for Elain Day, and it makes me excited to focus on that dynamic when the narrative gets there. I'm glad it was so well-received and that people liked seeing Elain with a female friend so outwardly different from her! I can't wait to write more and share it. Here's a little future sneak peek. 💕

reminding me that something i’m saying is a projection / subjective doesn’t help me tbh like yeah … obviously

gonna create a list of things i've rediscovered/am rediscovering after nearly 2 years of not writing (or, to be more specific, not being productive while writing)

how to create characters

how to get into character' minds, needs and desires

how to worldbuild (this one, i fear, i am learning for the first time. i was never good at worldbuilding with how little of the world i understood then)

how to write DESCRIPTIONS without stalling the narration (hard as SHIT)

how to write in character voices (yet another thing i fear i am learning for the first time)

Reading dense book after years of not doing that, explained everything about my academic experience

cats remain to be my comfort zone

Me, attending the latest in a ridiculous number of funerals this year in the place of a childhood friend who couldn't be there, watching the lifeless body of an old lady who used to make me snacks in the kitchen when I was a kid be carted away forever while my friend's mother cries and tells me she's grateful I could be there because it felt like having the support of her own daughter, hugging her and talking reassuringly and not processing a single one of these emotions: ... I am going to write soooo much fanfiction about this
