Blake: (signing to Yang)

Yang: Okay, I think I got this! (Struggles to make same signs using one hand and fails gloriously)

Blake: (laughing so hard that she's crying)

Weiss: (wearing protective eyewear) Ruby, what's going on?

Ruby: Yang’s trying to learn Sign Language.

Weiss: Sign language?

Ruby: Yup!

Weiss: The amputee is learning Sign Language?

Ruby: From Blake.

Weiss: From the mute, deaf girl.

Ruby: Hey, it could be worse. Blake could be trying to teach you.

Weiss: ......

Ruby: Too far?

Weiss: I'll let you decide. (Grabs her cane and walks up the small set of steps)

Ruby: Weiss! (Rolls wheelchair over to the steps) Come on! That's not fair!

A few months ago I drew out some headcanons related to various disablities & other physical conditions and decided to finish them up now that It's disability pride month ( Even If not all are necessarily disablitles <3 )

“Is there a Doctor in the house?!

The final instalment of our Doctor Who experience for blind and visually impaired young people is coming very soon!

It brings us right up to date and we were TRILLED to welcome current Doctor Ncuti Gatwa into the studio to record audio guides for this very special project.

Ncuti will guide users over tactile pictures of the 15th Doctor and his formidable foes to help them build up an image in their mind and ‘see’ through touch.

Thank you to Ncuti for this incredible support.”

Okay, but when do disabled people get their cut of the "I'm different and that's a good thing" pie in children's media?

Hey there, party people!!!

I know I'm not too active on here, but I'm glad y'all are still here!

I recently had the pleasure of commissioning two YCHs from the artist @trisiray. Go check them out and support them if you can!

Ruby's a character we really don't see a lot of, even in the movie, so I'm glad I was able to comm some fanart of her. Some day I'll have to list my many, many HCs for her.

right so my hearing ass heard about qsmp sign languages and HOO BOY STRAP IN because i have linguistics autism level 1 and am conversational in asl. are you ready? Good.

there are a half dozen sign languages that are somehow derivative of langue des signes française, french sign, abbreviated as lsf. starting with asl, american sign language, which mr gallaudet based on lsf. i, as an asl speaker, can somewhat understand lsf videos, this is a concept called mutual intelligibility and will be important later. língua brasileira de sinais, brazilian sign, abbreviated as libras, is likely derived from portuguese sign (lgs) and lsf. okay, so that is two sign languages derived partially from lsf, taking vocab and grammar and evolving separately after splitting apart. all three, libras, asl, and lsf, have a degree of mutual intelligibility. pidgining between them is likely to be an exchange of vocab, using the most common sign between all the speakers; or whatever sign is taught to another speaker first.

there are more sign languages than just those three! asl has parented other sign languages. lengua de señas peruana, peruvian sign, abbreviated as lsp, is derived from asl. lengua de señas puertorriqueña, puerto rican sign language, abbreviated as prsl, is a derivative of asl. lengua de señas argentina, argentinian sign language, abbreviated as lsa, is also derived from asl. it will be abbreviated as lsar in this post. there is a degree of mutual intelligibility between asl and each of these three languages, though the degree varies. given that the lsf-derived sign languages also have some mutual intelligibility, it's likely that the six sign languages all have mutual intelligibility. how much will vary from language to language and speaker to speaker.

this is still not all of the connected sign languages! algeria has langue des signes algérienne, abbreviated as lsa, and as lsal in this post to distinguish from argentinian sign. seven total sign languages that are somehow derivative of lsf (thanks, colonialism), and that share a degree of mutual intelligibility.

spanish sign language, lengua de signos española, abbreviated as lse, may be related to lsf, but mutual intelligibility begins to break down between lsf-derivatives and lse. the breakdown of mutual intelligibility becomes complete with mexican sign language, lengua de señas mexicana, abbreviated as lsm. lsm does not have any mutual intelligibility with its relatives lsf and asl. this is where the pidgin begins to become unintelligible with lsf-derivatives, though lsm may share intellibility with other latam signs like lsp, libras, and prsl.

the big kicker for the qsmp signed pidgin becoming something taught, something learned from the other residents, is when you add british sign language to the mix. bsl is completely different from lsf, asl, lse, and their derivatives. it has different vocab, different grammar, different alphabet, the whole shebang. there are exactly two brits who log on frequently, and one joined late. the discrepancy in speakers between bsl and lsf-derivatives is massive. instead of contributing grammar, the pidgin likely picks up vocab from the bsl speakers, and applies it to the fairly-standard lsf-derived grammar.

of course, we must consider the eggs, who are canonically mute and literally use sign items to communicate. this is where the pidgin the adults sign becomes a creole, as a creole forms when a pidgin is the first language taught to a child. and that is where lengua de señas de qsmp becomes a creole, when it is taught to an egg to communicate.

so thats how i think the qsmp would form a pidgin sign language combining all of the signs from the countries the current islanders are from. and i havent even touched asian countries that have been teased, or korean sign because tina is korean. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

the recent episode of bistro huddy made me churn this out

[adulthumanproblem]

Oh no. Is that how the world gets destroyed? UNIT defunded, aliens attack, nobody believes it until it's too late?

RTD, it doesn't have to be THIS realistic...

I had a pretty decent Steven Universe kick back around 2019-2021 and made this little mix of traditional and digital drawings

The Lars one was my first commission for a friend of mine 💜💜
