This is an appreciation post for braces. Knee braces are badass. Wrist sleeves? Groovy. Elbow braces, back braces, compression socks, they’re all funky and cool. They don’t ruin your outfit, they enhance it. Us cripples are stylish and sexy and our aids make us 10x hotter

His symptoms of his Lyme Disease are life-long, as they didn’t find the tick bite fast at all, and it raged on for a long while.

As a brace user, I haven't seen too many emotes like this, so I figured I'd make my own. The compression sleeve I drew is actually roughly based on the the ones I use :D

[accessimojis]

Maybe an ankle brace or wrist brace :O? Thank you!

Ankle brace. Wrist brace, and I went back and edited the knee and ankle braces together for people who use both at once!

Zero fucks given at this stage - just full Edwina Grande babygirl brain rot. Inspired by this post, which went in a different direction (and I may still revisit the original prompt) but once I started thinking about the Ariana huge hoody and thigh high heels combo... I had to see it through. It's what he deserves.

He's too goddamn cute for his own damn good. You know this boy has his entire Ari playlist on his Spotify wrapped, and no I will not be taking questions.

(Btw if anyone wants to buy me those boots from the bottom right, I will exchange smut and oversaturated colours.)

(very long) ID under the cut

(ID: a digital painted set of drawings of Taika Waititi as Modern AU Edward Teach dressed in several variations of an oversized hoody as a dress and thigh high boots against a blue background, in reference to Ariana Grande's fashion trend of wearing the same. The 1st image is bearded Ed with a high ponytail and hair jewellery, looking towards the viewer with a grumpy, tired expression. He has smudged dark makeup under his eyes and red glitter and facial piercings. He is wearing an oversized black hoody with a red heart and three dots under it on the right side, painted in magenta with glitter detail. He is wearing thigh high glitter stiletto boots with his knee brace over the left leg. In his left hand he is holding his hoody up over his left leg to reveal the tattooed traditional style portrait of Stede as a merman. On his right thigh he has a garter tattoo of several stars linked with dashed lines. In his right hand he is holding a red dog leash trailing to the floor. Above his head is written 'Choose your next move wisely, dog.' and under this is a bracket reading 'hungover at the dog park', implying the smudged make up is from the night before and the pissed off expression is aimed at said unseen dog.

The 2nd image is bearded Ed walking with his eyes downcast and smiling with pink cheeks, holding Stede's hand and holding a pink takeaway coffee cup down by his left leg with '4 Babe xxx' written on the side. He has long loose wavy salt and pepper hair. Only Stede's arm is visible, leading Ed forward. Ed is wearing a royal purple hoody which covers him to his thighs, a brown beanie over loose long hair with 'BB' on the front, and thigh high brown timberland style stiletto platform heels. The heels have crisscrossed lacing up the front with yellow laces. Ed has painted turquoise nails, a turquoise spiked choker, gold facial piercings and is wearing gold rings. There is a yellow aura around Ed's head. Next to Stede's arm is the word 'Bae' with several pink hearts, and above Ed's head are several more hearts. Beside his pink coffee cup is written 'pure sugar syrup' with an arrow, implying the coffee is more sugar than coffee. There is a small amount of thigh visible between the hoody and the boots, showing the same tattoos of the traditional merman Stede and star constellation garter.

The 3rd image is bearded Ed from the waist up, again with a high ponytail and long smooth hair, gold facial piercing jewellery and bright pink cheeks. He is looking to the right side out of frame and has bright excited eyes, and several lovehearts floating around his head, accompanied with a pink glow. He is holding up a red lollipop in his left hand and has his tongue stuck out licking it. He is wearing a magenta oversized hoody, the sleeve of which is pulled down over his left hand holding the lollipop. The hoody is patterned with green and gold leaves, purple birds and yellow flowers to resemble the red break up robe from the show Our Flag Means Death. Ed has gold body glitter in his hair, on his face and on his hoody. Above him is a white thought bubble cloud with a drawing of Stede's head surrounded by more pink lovehearts, implying Ed is daydreaming about Stede. In the bubble, Stede has gold coiffed hair, pink smiling cheeks and a small smirk, and is wearing a shirt collar with a pink bowtie and brown tortoiseshell reading glasses. Around Stede's head are several captions with arrows pointing to Stede, the first reading 'Sexy!', then below it 'Sweet!' and lastly 'Stupid!', all implied to be things Ed is thinking about Stede. Underneath the 3rd drawing is a caption reading 'fully dickmatised!!!' with several underlines and more hearts and explanation points, and an arrow pointing at the swooning Ed.

The 4th image is of bearded Ed standing facing the left of the frame but looking back over his right side. He has a long grey high ponytail with wavy hair and two tendrils by his face. He has a neutral expression with tinged pink cheeks and gold facial piercings, and has his left arm raised to rub at his neck in a awkward gesture. In his right hand he is holding a smartphone with a magenta and black cover, and has turquoise nails. He is wearing a peach pink oversized hoody which comes to his upper thigh, and has the slogan 'sad bitch' on the front in a spraypainted font, one side is turquoise and has a gradient across to black. On the right arm there are four spraypainted teardrops in black with turquoise. The peach colour is a reference to the Spirit Independence suit Taika Waititi wore. He is wearing thigh high black leather goth boots with a chunky platform heel and black lacing up the front of each boot, as well as five leather straps circling the leg on each boot with gold buckles and metal elements. Between the boots and the hoody, his upper thighs are visible and show the same star constellation and traditional merman Stede tattoos. There is a soft golden glow behind his head. Above his head is written 'You'll believe Atua is a woman' and a pink loveheart, which references Ariana Grande's song God is a Woman and a Māori word for gods which is used in the modern practice to include the Christian God. Below his left arm is written the caption 'babe, did you call the Uber?', implying Ed is talking to Stede out of frame. Under this caption is a small gap and then 'nah?' as if asking for confirmation, and then in the very bottom right corner is written 'bruh.' communicating Ed's disappointment at the lack of Uber.

End of ID.)

Was grocery shopping and a grandma pointed at me "Ah! Im not the only one!" Confused, i follow her eyes down : we had the same knee brace

[gallifreyriver]

Can we maybe stop with the whole "girl with knee brace just wants attention lmao"

I've been seeing it going around lately and I don't think most of you realize that putting a stigma on different types of aids/care as being associated with negative things only makes those who need them feel too self conscious to wear/use them.

Like, why the fuck is it a meme that knee braces are worn by "pick me" girls??

Guess I didn't realize all the issues that might require a knee brace for comfort like arthritis, EDS, sprains, ligament tears, cartilage deterioration and other injuries/conditions (all of which can occur to a person at literally any age or activity level) were really just a front for "wanting attention."

And who the fuck told ya'll that if you wear the brace over your jeans you don't need it and you just want attention??? Have you ever tried wearing a knee brace under women's jeans? It's practically impossible, and if you are able to then you either cut off your circulation or start getting funny looks because it looks like you have a huge growth around your knee. Or worse, if you don't get it on perfectly and it starts to shift or slip/pinch then you have to wait til you can take off your pants to fix the fucker.

"Don't wear jeans then" SoRrY kArEn, but not everyone can just wear shorts or whatever all the time, and some actually find the brace more comfortable with something between the brace and their skin. More importantly, we don't owe you an explanation on what feels more comfortable for us to wear just because you feel some sort of way seeing someone wearing a damn knee brace.

Get over yourselves and just let people use the care items they need without making fun of them for it like ableist pricks.

It's so gross.

This guy is very funny. Once in awhile he gets hurt and makes funny vids about it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good knee braces for preventing hyper extension? I’m trying to get some through my insurance but they’re being slow as fuck and my knees are only getting worse so any suggestions for OTC braces would be hugely appreciated

Me when I have to wear knee braces because my knees are fucked up “omg I’m so Edward Teach coded”

[cripple-council]

• this user uses braces •

[id: a dark purple userbox with a black border, to the left is a picture of a knee brace. to the right is a black text reading: “this user uses braces”. /end id]

[oh-heck-yeah-doritos]

Here’s your daily reminder that things aren’t always what they seem.

Tdlr at bottom.

I just limped out of science class. My right leg was the one limping. However, I was wearing a knee brace on my left knee. To basically anyone, it would seem like I was a “faker”, who forgot which knee I was “faking” an injury on.

Not the case.

I have HSD, which causes me chronic joint pain. My left side is, for some reason, worse. I had to run a lot in PE today. Since I had my knee brace on, my left knee feels fine. However, it took a lot out of me, and my right knee REALLY fucking hurts. So, I was limping. And I was not “faking”. But you shouldn’t have to know why to not be a dick about it.

Tdlr: things aren’t always what they seem, so be a nice fucking person, please

[fellow-queer-birdguy]

I GOT A KNEE BRACE!!

And oh my god it's comfortable, my knee actually feels supported, it's surreal.

The only issue that it makes me put all my pressure on my other leg, and that hurts my foot.

So I'm going to save up money for another one

taika really gave us a feared, revered, and desirable aging queer man with a mobility aid and ptsd. he's an icon for that
