I want a werewolf story but the person wears glasses and still needs them when transformed but their face changes shape so drastically there's literally nothing they can do short of buying another pair of glasses, taking the lenses out, and trying to jury-rig a set of goggles that will A)fit them correctly in their transformed state B)not fall off C)actually let them see D)not get destroyed when they transform back

And that's not even getting into the fact that their normal glasses probably wouldn't even work because their eyes have changed structure and would probably need whole new lenses.

if they can't figure out how to do this or just straight up don't have the money to buy an extra pair of glasses they're just. fucking incapable of doing jack shit while transformed because they can't see anything clearly even if it's pressed against the end of their new muzzle.

This would get even worse if being transformed affects what colors they can see in any way, because now not only can't they see things, they can't even rely on memory to recognize things until they get used to the new gradient of grey to yellow to blue.

No magic exists that fixes this. No it does not magically get fixed after they transform enough times or any other magical related stuff.

They either have to get werewolf-accessible glasses or goggles, or not be able to see. Those are the only two options. And no, sense of smell and hearing do not somehow magically compensate for their inability to see. That's not how this works.

Anyways yes I did combine my visually impaired flags and the all-inclusive werewolf flag.

Here you go:

[ID: Three flags.

The first has nine horizontal stripes, combining the visually impaired flag, and a werewolf flag. The stripes are, in order from top to bottom: Light purple, dark purple, black, grey-blue, white, grey-purple, black, light brown, and dark brown.

The second flag is the all-inclusive werewolf flag, with stripes of light purple, dark purple, light brown, and dark brown.

The last flag is the visually impaired flag, with stripes of black, grey-blue, white, grey-purple, and black.

End ID.]

I'm getting more and more worried about my visual impairment. It's been worse and it's affecting my life so much at this point. :/   I can't *see* I got a new laptop and had to completely change the contrast/gamma/color config so I can even use it at all. I need so much contrast to draw. What you guys end up seeing is usually toned down.

I always feel so embarrassed when I have to ask for clarification on people's drawings like it's a personal failure on my part as an artist.

And don't get me started on everyday activities like how my spouse wanted to play video games for his birthday and I just can't *see* the screen. I don't know. It's just hard right now.

Yo when changing the ugly eye strain from hell blue background off, I found out that xkit’s accessibility extension is the shit for people who are visually impaired.

Number 1 fav thing, Links are blue now with this extension. Holy shit. I haven't been able to see links in forever and always bold them on my own posts because that thin light grey underlines may as well be invisible. Now they look like this.

Hey so Discord's prank sucks. I can't see lol

One problem I have as a visually impaired digital artist is I lose my cursor constantly. lol Where did it go? If anyone knows a way to make it more visible on Clip Studio, hook me up please because this is a constant problem. It might as well be invisible and I just have to scribble lines until I find it if I’m on a brush and if not try to get it to my bottom toolbar when I lose track of it. Edit/// I also know about the pressing ctrl on windows and it getting a circle. I use that a lot as well. I just wish I could see my cursor lol I’ve tried clips cursor options and they suck. Uuugh. Tool specific kind of works I guess but I wish there was something better and more assessable.

Um. okay. None of the fixes (xkit or the Greasy Fork Accessibility UI Update Toggle) are working for anyone. The forums don’t seem to know why. I am literally visually impaired and can’t use the site like this (the people they were claiming to do this for). White letters on dark background cause halos for me so it’s all a bright blur so the whole side/top bar is actually painful to look at. The background being this dark is painful in general and is causing a lot of eye strain. I would rather a straight white background at this point.  @staff help. I can’t see.

Hey. I’ve searched google and I am at a loss. Does anyone know how to view alt text on twitter while using the computer?I can on mobile but I most entirely use PC so... not all that helpful lol.

Hey it's that visually impaired anon who keeps comin back but I wanted to say thanks abt lazy nezumi, I ended up buying their product and it worked super well!!!! Your blog has been a continuing place of support and resources for me, and I appreciate that so much!

I’m glad that this could help!!! I’m honestly just figuring things out as I go haha. I still don’t know the exact source of my vision loss but just have to continue to adapt!

I think that I’m going to get the trial and then buy it when I have money because it seems really useful. Someone on twitter sent me this. It’s a bunch of cursors with high visibility that you can download for LN on top of what they already offer!Also please feel free to message me off anon sometime!!! I would love to chat. If you would like to stay anonymous you can make a fake account or something, just say that it’s you haha.
