me thinks I should just post my FT Art here :3

Ill try to get it all posted but sometimes i forgorts

itll mostly be either Nalu or Lucy centered cause I love Lucy smm!!! shes my fave!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION START: Digital drawing of Lucy Heartfillia and Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail. It is in a comic inspired format with a shot at the top of the canvas featuring a big close up of Lucys face blushing. At the bottom of the canvas is a less detailed version of Lucy on the floor in disappointment and an even more poorly done drawing of Natsu standing cluelessly. IMAGE DESCRIPTION END]

guys where is the fairy Tail fandom active im going to explode I am rewatching it rn amd I desperately need to tallk to other fans in a discord or something!!!!! especially abt Nalu i am about to keel over thinking abtout them wauy too hard

[bemnie]

any1 here have mircocephaly or know some1 who has some sorta social/media presence?

I like making disabled ocs and i saw a video abt this condition that made me mad so I wanna make an oc with microcephaly now! , but all the articles i can find atm are about raising a child , not really anything about the person who has it yknow?

I know a lotta people who have it have intellectual disability so sometimes its unsafe for them to be on the internet but yea maybe im just bad at looking? would love any help <3!

do NOT fall in love with The Horrid Evil Bog Monster

ALL OF THIS ALL OF THIS ALL OF THIS! disabled people who need care at all times who are unable to do tasks without help etc are worthy lives and we need to include them in our activism or we arent truly allies (even if you yourself are disabled!!!!) we need to include the autistics and disabled people of color, who face more harm due to how they look or act! we need to do better and protect and support our autistic and disabled siblings! all humans deserve support and to live their life to the fullest ‼️

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

Art for the lovely @creatingblackcharacters ! I really enjoy their work and as ive been learning more from Black creators Ive decided that the least I can do to repay them for all their hard work is draw an OC or such!!!

This is their OC Phi, i believe its a Hades fankid OC? correct me if im wrong!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Digital drawing of a close up bust of a Black woman with green eyes and pink eyeshadow. She has a thin scar going across her lips, which are two toned, the upper lip being a deep maroon while the lower lip is a lighter pink tone. She as a warm glowy russet brown skin tone. Her hairstyle is in a afro with tight curls in a bang style and her afro fills out the canvas. You can see her shoulders and her hands are framing her face. END ID]

if theres anything wrong with the image Description or suggestions please let me know! I'm still new to making them❤️

[bemnie]

ough tumbly ive been avoiding u.... why is posting the total worst thing in the world😭 i live for ppl to engage with the art I make but I am the absolute laziest at getting any of it out there ever💀💀💀

[bemnie]

need 1 of them sensitivity readers but for the art in my brain💀

I want to make diverse characters but I do not have a very diverse circle of i know...how to find people of various disabilities, races, ethnicities, etc who would be down to just listen to me rattle off ideas and give me advice.................

can pay in art💀😓

[bemnie]

im gonna work on my oc Hanas workplace n coworkers! I plan kind of doing like. an Office like cast? but hopefully more realistic n grounded? plus makin em all disabled cause I can B) [smile face with sunglasses]

I know I wanna include a character with drawfism (if u have suggestions on which kind much appreciated! desicion are hard lol)

, a character thats either Deaf or hard of hearing (Im american so they'd use ASL, if any native ASL speakers want to offer their help to make sure this character(s) is portrayed correctly that'd be much appreciated! I can offer art in exchange for your labor n services <3)

Definitely a lotta facial differences n limb body differences!!!

Definitely wheelchair users too!!!!

I want to try n include a character that would use some form of AAC? but i am not totally sure how feasibily that can work in an office setting? I dont know much abt offices but I know they can be kinda difficult to work in?? I am kind of bending the realities of social abliesm n such so I can have fun with my OCs but I am also trying to be realistic with my OCs disabilities and I think AAC users typically have general communication deficiencies(?) and I wouldn't wanna put my characters in uncomfortable situations you know?!?!

I also know I want to include some ID (intellectual disability) , I was thinking of having a character with mild ID n being a janitor. (would kind of be based on some people I know IRL) But im worried thats stereotypical n would seem bad :( since I dont have ID i dont wanna do anything thatd make ppl with ID uncomfortable ! I already have a character with ID (not posted here, getting to it ) and she doesnt work cause she is from a rich family. I also wanna make a bunch more characters with ID so maybe that changes if its stereotypical?? guh idk if anyone with ID reads this Id love some input <3

regarding the might be a janitor character I wanna do a kind of 'Jim and Pam' office love story with them n another character with ID (again is kind of based off people I know) . is important to me that I show characters with ID n developmental disability being adults n being allowed to be in love!!!!!!!!

Wow this was a long post oopsiesss <3

[bemnie]

i dont like rebloging stuff but this is vv important to me. the way ive seen people (even disabled people!!) use the R word makes me so mad and disgusted and angry. saying it isn't cool full stop! please stop!!!

(do note i dont have ID , but every person ive ever met with ID or people who work with those with ID are very adamant abt not using it!!!)

What people need to realise about “reclaiming” a slur is that it’s not something someone does in their personal time for self improvement. It’s a form of Socail protest and reformation of language. It has to be an intentional group effort or it does nothing.

Take the word B!tch, for example. We have seen this shift from a derogatory term to one of positive description, Because there was an active intention by women to purposefully change what the word bitch meant in order to reclaim it as their own.

The same goes for the word Queer, or the N word. These switches were made by the community not by single people who wanted to feel like edgy shit.

Now, take the R slur into this measure. As a community of disabled individuals, we are divided between two camps: the people who want to say the r slur WITHOUT changing anything and keeping its original ableist usage and those who don’t want to say it at all.

Saying it in your day to day life by yourself doesn’t reclaim anything. because there’s not reformation, there’s no changing of definition, and there’s no community backing you up. You’re just saying a slur. And thus, you’re an asshat.

I found someone to help me ID!! itll be at the end of the post!

Hello Tumblr Id like you to meet my precious OC Hana!!! She is my sweetie shmoobie oogieboogie <3

She is part of my new OCverse that is just Earth but where my characters exists!!! almost all of the little cast i am making is gonna be disabled 1 way or another and its epic super cool yippee :D

Hana is like an account or Something?! Idk much abt jobs but I will flesh this out at some point?! i will also probably make her a silly cast of colleagues (think Office or Superstore?) it will be so fun yes yes!

Plus I need 2 draw my girl doing some Mod inspired drag! she is an amateur drag artists on her off days!! that means I obviously have to draw all the other drag artists, bartenders, waitstaff, and patreons obviously!!!! >u<

Start of Image Description:

Captions on a yellow and white polka dot background

Captions read: Hannah Yoshimoto, Hana , bullet point say "Third Generation Japanese American, second bullet point reads Stickler Syndrome, third says 28, born 1996. fourth says 60s Mod Enthusiast.

End of captions

Art style is cartoony with smooth coloring and soft shading, like airbrush.

Drawings from left to right of a tan Japanese lady. Her hair is in a short brown bob with bangs. She had brown eyes and hypertropia in one eye. Her nose is stubby and large but her smile is wide and has a small gap in the middle.

In the first drawing she is in nothing but a standard old style bra and underwear in a beige color. She is in a 'swing' motion with her arms flared.

In the second drawing Hannah is in the same pose with the same features, but she is dressed up. She is in a babydoll style lime green dress with a flower pattern along the side and a white bow on the chest part. She has on white gogo boots that go to her calves. She has on matching lime green eyeshadow on her eyes and more tones (red) on her lips that give her face more life.

On the far right there are black and white sketches of her in a order of 3 from top to bottom.

First drawing has a slick shading style, she has on dark lipstick, a top that goes to her neck in a straight pattern with no sleeves. Her earrings are large dangly peace signs.

Second drawing is labeled 'After Surgery' with Hana shoving her face into a pillow made to keep the head face down without irritating the eyes, and complaining with a 'aargh' in a text bubble.

The third drawing has her with dangly rectangle earrings, she has on glasses and a flowery top with no sleeves. She is squinting at the laptop and it says "Listening to audio and reading. Doing job at computer."
