accessibility > aesthetics.

it's been said many times, but accessibility in the rpc is a real issue - i have seen quite a few people tag graphics with eyestrain, which is good, but we can do more. particularly when it comes to fonts as screen readers cannot read some of the fonts used and, honestly, the rpc in general tends to over-format their posts. aesthetics is one thing, but you really don't need 7 different fonts and styles in your posts ( personally i only really use it for character names so the post doesn't get thrown into the char tags even though it's untagged, thanks tumblr! ) though most often i see it used for headings which i think is fine in small doses - but it's quite common to see several fonts, styles and colours in peoples posts which is far less accessible. spacing is a complicated matter as personally it makes things much harder for me to read and i know several roleplayers who have said the same, but have also seen people argue that it makes things easier for others to read. it differs person for person, so it's best to ask! similarly, whilst it's rare i do see it still - posting your replies as images completely disregards accessibility.

below is a list of those that it can read and those it cannot - when in doubt, it doesn't hurt to temporarily use a screen reader to double check or asking the person you are writing with if it's a thread. make your writing and your blog accessible and ask if those you are writing with need any particular formatting in order to assist with any dyslexia or visibility problems. when plotting or discussing threads, it only takes a few seconds to ask "hey, do you need anything specific regarding accessibility or visibility in these posts?"

unfortunately i am unable to test all available screen readers that are available, so if you have any additions do let me know! i have tested on a few screen readers and text-to-speech programs: ttsreader, ChromeVox, Pericles: screen reader extension on chrome and firefox, NVDA (windows), murfai, tts by Readme, Screen Reader by UserWay, Google text-to-speech, NaturalReader text-to-speech and textmagic.

these fonts work:

ｔｈｉｓ　ｆｏｎｔ

these ones may or may not work depending on the text-to-speech or screenreader. they appear to work on textmagic, on Screen reader by UserWay, Pericles: screen reader extension on chrome and firefox, and google text-to-speech. i have tested it with ChromeVox and these fonts sometimes work and sometimes don't for some reaso - if i would suggest that if you are in doubt, ask:

𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒏𝒕

𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭

𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗻𝘁

𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙣𝙩

these fonts do not work with most screen readers / tss:

𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔣𝔬𝔫𝔱 ( works with Pericles )

𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖋𝖔𝖓𝖙 ( works with Pericles )

ᵗʰⁱˢ ᶠᵒⁿᵗ

ᴛʜɪs ꜰᴏɴᴛ

​🇹​​🇭​​🇮​​🇸​ ​🇫​​🇴​​🇳​​🇹​

ₜₕᵢₛ fₒₙₜ

ᵗʰⁱˢ ᶠᵒⁿᵗ​

𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕥 ( works with Pericles )

𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚗𝚝 ( works with Pericles )

𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒻ℴ𝓃𝓉 ( works with Pericles )

𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓷𝓽 ( works with Pericles )

тнιѕ ƒσηт

t̷h̷i̷s̷ ̷f̷o̷n̷t

those that don't work simply will not read out the words, skipping them altogether if there is text it can read either side of it, resulting in large amounts of text being unread. if you absolutely have to use several fonts or large amounts of text in these fonts ( i wouldn't think so, though ) then please add "captions" below the text, possibly in a blockquote or read-more, where the text is plainly typed so it can be read.

t̸̡̧̪̣̯̼̠̺̠͉̼̍͜͜͠ͅh̷͎̜̠̺̫̘̒͊̈i̸̡͗̔̉̾̚͝͝ṣ̸̢̥̮͚̲͎̣̉̏̈́̂ ̵̮̞͇̪̼̳͈͚͉̻̬͈͑̄̍͌̓͊̽̌̍͆͒͝f̷̡̢̡̫͎̲̻̼̤̪̠̪͍͔͒͌͊̈́̔̄̀̉̈́͛̕ơ̸̞͚̗̣͇̜̫͍͋̓̐͒̓̒͌͐n̷̛̗͍̈́̎͐̌̈͆̂͆͒̒̚ṱ̷̨̤͚̓͑̒͌̒͌̎̀̕͝͝

the above "cursed text" font...kind of works? it reads it out letter by letter, as does t͎h͎i͎s͎ ͎f͎o͎n͎t͎, so i would recommend against using them for anything but short single words.

please keep this in mind and try to make your blog accessible!

This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money

reblog for the morning crowd with the update that I have moved all things to the other blog’s drafts. I’ll tidy up this blog a little and hopefully once I get into the swing of things over there I can start setting this blog up for the rest of my muses.

Alrighty, I have set up the TUA muses over @pluviatenebris. I will be transferring current threads and memes I’ve let pile up over there.

And I need to figure out what to change this blog’s icon to but that’s a problem for tomorrow me.

i am begging you all to stop treating this site like instagram if you dont want it to be content free by next year

[afoxholeofmuses]

Am I still thinking about moving the TUA muses to their own mumu? Yeah. I think I might.

I feel like a lot of people fail to see how similar umbrella Ben and sparrow Ben are and that bothers me a lot : they're not entirely different characters.

It really bothers me how most people see umbrella Ben as this pure little angel(tm) while he's not ? Of course we didn't see that much of him cause, yk, he's dead, but he was sometimes harsh, and just as pragmatic as sparrow Ben. Like remember when he wanted the brellies to kill Grace ?

When Sparrow Ben tells Viktor to put his shit together cause the apocalypse is happening and they don't have time for that, that something umbrella Ben did with Klaus and Viktor in the past, the only difference is that he has emotional attachment to them, and sparrow Ben doesn't.

That's also why I love that Klaus had a chance to talk about him, cause he's the only one who truly remembers how umbrella Ben could be a little shit sometimes, while the others forgot because of grief.

That was a long way of saying : stop making umbrella Ben into the shy nice little angel he's not.

oh, here we go. the old nature versus nurture argument.

[afoxholeofmuses]

equationsoff​  //  Five && Sparrow Ben

         sometimes the truth is a lot easier to put out then a lie. there’s no reason to lie to the other since it’s not like it can hurt them. they’re a fucked up family but still somehow a family. somehow, the sparrows seem to be more fractured than they ever were. sure, five has felt he’s better than everyone else since he could form the idea. but that didn’t mean he didn’t care about his family. he loved them more than anything else.

      it isn’t surprising that ben doesn’t believe him. he wouldn’t if he was hearing it too. “ didn’t say any lies but you can be paranoid all you want. ” maybe if he learns more about their ben he can figure out what happened to the kind kid he’d once known. the one who would sit with him in viktor’s room plotting how to escape their father.

    “ ben did die. you were the only one dad seemed to deem worth getting again. since he was dead when we made our terrible impression on him. assume if ben hadn’t died you’d have probably been replaced with someone else too. ”

     ❝  Paranoid?  ❞  he  echoes  with  an  incredulous  smirk;  his  ego  has  taken  the  implication  as  a  challenge.  Because  that  would  imply  Ben  actually  gives  a  damn  about  the  kid  and  his  chaotic  siblings.  That  he  had  truly  wanted  to  know  what  made  them  who  they  are  now.  That  he  wants  to  understand  how  they  can  care  for  each  other  in  a  way  he  and  his  own  siblings  never  could.  But  that’s  just  ridiculous,  isn’t  it?

          ❝  I’m  not  paranoid.  ❞  his  fingers  twitch  at  his  side  as  he  says  it  in  spite  of  himself.  A  nervous  tic.  He  quickly  folds  his  left  hand  on  top  of  the  other  as  he  realises  he’s  doing  it,  internally  cursing  himself.  ❝  I’m  just  cautious  with  the  track  record  of  you  people.  You  all  may  be  surviving  like  cockroaches  but  disaster  still  clings  to  you  like  a  moth  to  a  flame.  ❞ 

     Did  riling  him  up  succeed  in  making  him  talk  more,  think  less?  Maybe  a  little.  Because  he  grits  his  teeth  at  Five’s  words  and  then  scoffs  loudly  when  he  finishes.  ❝  Oh  please.  The  only  thing  that  proves  is  that  your  litter  had  six  runts  to  it  and  one  noteworthy  player  that  you  people  somehow  let  die.  Clearly  I’ve  exceeded  the  expectations  Dad  set  for  your  Ben.  ❞

ben spends the whole season trying to be big and tough and mean and scary but literally any time the umbrellas see him theyre like :D!!! ben!!!! its ben!!! love you ben!!! and it makes him so mad that theyre ruining his joker moment like this
