Heyy, one of my oc's blind, and he has a wife that isn't visually impared. I've read a post a while ago, (I don't remember if you wrote it or not) that talked about "how blind people love" so to say, where it mentions that it is different in many ways to how not visually impared people think it might be, so I'd want to know if you had some fluffy prompts for me. Thank you <3

Blind Characters Falling in Love + Prompts

The post you are referring to is actually by @mimzy-writing-online and you can find it here.

A few prompt ideas I have include:

-consider the trust and automatic habits that might build up between the blind character and the wife. For example, describing things the blind person would be interested in without always needing to be asked, automatically offering to guide, automatically orienting the character to their environment, and knowing when to offer help. These are things that build up over time and with trust.

-Also, consider how wonderful a consistent lack of discomfort with blindness would be. In the beginning of a relationship, the person who isn’t blind may feel uncertain or unsure how to fit into their partner’s life when it comes to their blindness. An example of this would be questioning whether or not a description of a bench to their left would be welcome. A wife who has been with her husband for years may simply verbalize where the bench is, being familiar with the husband’s habit of stopping to enjoy the sounds of birds.

-Specific situational prompts ideas include: the wife describing TV shows that don’t come with audio descriptions as they watch them, the couple learning Braille together and leaving Braille notes for each other, the couple cooking together and using accessible tools, the wife placing markers on the shampoo and conditioner, the couple knowing not to move each other’s items, inside blind jokes, and knowing how best to give directions in reference to that restaurant they like or using left and right because the blind character never understood cardinal directions.

-Alerting the blind character to steps or curbs or changes in environment.

-A big one is an accessible house. If the couple got a home together, they would consider accessibility. This might include high contrast, extra lighting, textures, and no touch screen appliances as these can be harder for blind people to use. There is a comfort in having someone else consider your accessibility needs.

-Other ideas include accessible and comfortable dates. While this might depend on the specific person and where they live, a few ideas include:

-getting audio descriptions at cinemas or even for plays if offered

-reading the menu out to him and knowing what foods to mention or skip over because she knows his taste

-getting Braille menus

-making tactile art together using dot paint or puffy paint

-depending on vision and comfort level, they might avoid dimly lit or overly loud areas, but not all blind people will do this. Conversely, he might also only be comfortable going to such places with her.

-playing accessible games together

These are some ideas I had. You can also follow blind folks on YouTube or Tiktok, such as blindtobes, to see how they talk about blindness and dating.

Vertin Expressions (hatless)

I don't know the original names of these expressions I'm just saying what I think it looks like.

This face is literally 🤨

Slightly confused 😕

The face of someone who was forcibly woken up

Let pookie sleep!

Shock or mildly surprised (although it could be something very shocking but Vertin doesn’t react as strongly as others)

Blush again!

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

A sharp stare. Her eyes don't have that "gentle/stoic" look to them here. A hardened stare, maybe?

I think this is kinda...sulky/pouty? A subtle but visible irritation. Like you just gave her a bunch of arcanum training homework or took away her Picrasma candy. How dare you.

Once again, these are all from an X post by @inaemachi! Check them out cause they original posts are better than my blurry screenshots

naming your characters - writing tips

name them after someone important

give them a name from their time

choose a name with a meaning that matches their personality

a name that foreshadows their future

name a character after someone you love

give them an unremarkable first name and call them by their last name

don't name two characters the same name, even with most reason—it gets confusing

avoid names that are too similar—"Anne" and "Anna", for example

choose names the audience will remember

research the meaning beforehand

choose a plant name

choose a colour name

invent a name by putting vowels and letters together

pick either a very unconventional name or very plain name

generally don't make too many characters or it could be confusing for the reader

choose a name associated with the character's personality

name them after a celebrity (with meaning)

name them after yourself!

pick a name you would want yourself to be named

go nameless until you find the right one—or keep switching when you feel you do

^^ try out many names

think of names from that genre

【OC Stuff】

Sometimes, when he’s alone with nothing to do, Тоска will pretend to be a “human news reporter” or a “human talk show host”.

He especially likes the way 1960s and 70s shows were like, and does his best at copying that particular style.

He often ends up being very cringy, and despite doing this alone most of the time, Apricity has occasionally caught him doing it and awkwardly laughs every time.

When I was younger, I liked to think that at night, there were creatures that came from the stars to walk around on Earth, watching over the people while they slept. Draw what those creatures look like.

You’ve been sentenced to 400 years for multiple murders. It’s been 399 years and your jailers are starting to get nervous.

I’m still not so sure how this will actually impact gameplay overall, but this is indeed a W 👍

The Chinese government is drafting up a law that will basically topple all gacha games, thank god

Absolutely common China W

Another funny thing about Rathalos Noir Corne

His S2 jump is apparently an actual jump, meaning...

A fast enough enemy can just zoom underneath him
