[cripplecharacters]

so, the posts on this blog about facial difference inspired me to make an oc with facial difference- specifically strabismus and a port wine stain. she's pretty much become one of my favourite characters to draw and develop, ive taken care to make sure she doesn't fall into shitty tropes. however, i have had one problem- in the world she lives in, rebels like her cover their face most of the time. ive been really struggling on how to design her mask/covering in a way that doesn't feel shitty, and doesn't feel like it's trying to cover her facial difference. and i know that technically it's not as bad if she's not the only character who wears a mask, but i still don't wanna push it, if you know what i mean? so it would be awesome if you could give suggestions on how i could handle her mask. here's a reference of her for. reference, and some ideas ive had for masks. thank you for taking the time, and for this blog in general!

[Image description: Traditional drawing of a light-skinned girl with pink straight hair, smiling. She has a large port-wine stain on the left side of her face, and her right eye goes inward. Around her are three headshot sketches;

first shows her in a bandana that goes over her nose with "bandana doesn't obscure FD but hides smile + necklace" written above, second shows a half-mask that covers only the right side of her face, with "early concept, feels tacky, shows port-wine stain but not strabismus :(", third shows a domino mask, with "domino mask, do I even have to explain? No-go" next to it. End image description.]

Hi!

I think that something close to the second one would actually be kinda fun (no irony or sarcasm). If we're talking about a story where everyone wears a mask, having the character with FD wear one that covers everything except for the FD is actually subversive! I never thought I would say that, but it does feel like it is.

Not sure how strict of a design should it be, but a diagonal - her bottom right to her top left - mask would be nice!

I tried to write down a detailed description of what I mean but it was coming out rather overcomplicated, so I hope you're okay with me doing a few demonstrative sketches; a diagonal and rather-silly option, an idea for the bandana with a drawn smile and the kind of tie that would show her necklace, and an idea for the half-mask but with an eye with strabismus painted on the mask.

So here are the suggestions! I haven't drawn in a while so my skills are kinda rusty, but I hope it conveys the concept! My personal favorite would be the first one - I know it barely counts as a mask but then again, in comics it's common that someone is unrecognizable when they wear a pair of glasses, so maybe it's not as farfetched haha.

The second one would be totally fine by my standards, but I'm assuming that her necklace has some kind of significance in the story, so maybe she could cross it at the back and tie it in the front instead for it to be more visible (or wear the necklace over it even?).

I think that doing something like on the third drawing above would be okay if there are also a lot of moments where her actual strabismus is shown. In general, I think that the idea of a character with a facial difference wearing a mask just to paint it on the mask is kinda silly, and I feel like it would fit her character. But for something like that to work, she would need to have the mask off often. If you choose to do that, I suggest your first time showing her to the viewer is with her mask off, both for the usual reasons I mentioned before but also because strabismus is often used as a gag in art. For me, seeing a character wear that kind of mask with no context would be kind of eye-rolling - but seeing a character with a crossed eye put on a mask with the same exact kind of eye, go and join their friends at doing rebel things? That's actually something new!

I enjoy that your character seems to be on the rather joyful and happy side, I like that :-) (smile emoji)

I hope this helps!

HIIIII! IDK WHAT I SHOULD ASK U BUT IVE ALWAYS LIKED SEEING U ON MY DASH BC I FIND U INTERESTING SO HOW R U????

and since we met through blue lock, any favorite/s now that wasn’t a fave before considering what’s going down in the game? :D any predictions 🤨

AAAAAH omg my first asker ever!!! And oh wait oh no I totally forgot I saw that you tagged me in another post and I never responded ugh why am I like this 🤦‍♀️ I’m going to get to that right after I answer this!!!

Tbh I am a Barou stan for life and I am so PISSED about his lack of screentime in recent chapters 😤 For some reason, I have a thing for supremely arrogant people. I think it’s because their self-righteous, self-serving attitudes/behaviors are so far-removed from my own mindset, and maybe I just admire their confidence (which I sorely lack :P)

In that regard, I love Shidou so fucking much. Especially with the current state of the match. Ig I’m cheating here bc I may or may not have expressed my passion for him in the past. But it’s on another level now. Holy SHIT. The sheer balls on this guy. A menace to society. A raging gay. Canonically has the hots for Itoshi Sae. An interest that is MUTUAL, might I add. Itoshi Bae, amirite. I can’t wait for the insane smutty fanfic that’ll turn up on AO3. In fact, Shidou probably eats up A/B/O fanfic and is unashamed to admit it. Will likely end up in multiple scandals involving affairs with high-profile celebrities or cartels or the yakuza or the mafia or some shit and STILL get away with it. As in, he’ll still have fans when he gets out of prison. Forget prison. Even that cell thing Ego locked him in couldn’t contain him.

Idk what the shit this boy is doing mucking around on a soccer court when he could easily be ruining everybody else’s lives for his own pleasure. It’s just fascinating to me how a person this… like, primitive, almost? Like a raw force of nature? Is also incredibly smart, cold, and calculating. It’s the best of both worlds, brash and red, patient and blue. Ya get what I mean? I need his backstory so badly.

Tbh I have no predictions for how things are going to go down in Blue Lock D: I wish I had the brains like the other theorists in the fandom do. In a way, I’m kind of rooting for Team U20 to win, tbh. Because Blue Lock is just fresh out of training, still technically just rookies, while U20 has actual experience. It would be kinda predictable if Blue Lock actually won, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, considering how distinct, well-developed, and talented each of the Blue Lock members is while everyone else on U20 aside from Oliver Aiku, Shidou Ryuusei, and Itoshi Sae is just there. Everyone in Blue Lock is working in tandem at their fullest effort (regardless of how little positive/healthy/collaborative energy there is lol), while Oliver, Shidou, and Sae are single-handedly pulling the rest of their team’s weight. That can’t possibly be sustainable. I have a feeling Blue Lock will somehow pull through, break into “flow”, and take the game. (I feel bad for wishing they wouldn’t :P)

But, man. My joy at seeing everybody’s reactions, especially Rin’s and Sae’s, when Shidou achieved Flow in the final panel of the latest chapter—unparalleled.

This is so long I cry 😭 Thank you so much for asking me this question aaaaah I love you!! I’m so honored that you find me interesting 🥺 I hope you’re doing okay as well and that we get to keep talking more!!! :D And keep staying safe and healthy and content! <3

Why Padalecki marriage annoys me - non Tinhat perspective

I can safely say that never before has a marriage annoyed me as much as the Padalecki marriage.  Even the Ackles’ behavior is reasonable.  They don’t kiss and make out public because Jensen is not an exhibitionist sort.  I have never respect PDAs.  In my opinion, it is inappropriate.  But remember, I am not a tinhat so you can draw your own conclusions about why the Ackles don’t “display” their love in public.  There is nothing wrong with theorizing. 

Genevieve, and Jared [when he is in husband mode] just irritate me.  They oversell it.  In the beginning, I thought she was so lucky to have a husband like him.  He is so beautiful.  He’s so sensitive.  He earns well.  He is respected in his field.  Plus he cried on their wedding day.  How beautiful is that?  For years afterwards, he would gush over her during his panels.  At first, I smirked, then I became poker faced, then I became mildly annoyed and then one day [I even remember the panel] it just got too noticeably exhibitionist.  It was the last question.  Timothy Omundson was called on stage, pretending to be the last question.  And he comically fangirled uncontrollably before perching himself on the designated chair.  His question was “who is your favourite guest star, and why is it Timothy Omundsom?’‘  It was a funny question, and Jensen went with it, saying that he was a fan of Omundson’s beard, which caused Robbie to throw a faux hissy fit because he had a beard too, darn it.  But Jensen pointed out that his beard was pathetic because it was short and he couldn’t braid it.  After the laugh fest, Jared gave his answer:  ’'My favorite guest star is Gen, because she’s my wife and the mother of my children”. 

For some reason, that is pissed me right off.  It was a funny question.  It didn’t warrant a serious, gushy husband reply.  Some witless creature made a mistake of pointing this out, in the comment section.  The entire page converged on her.  Even people who had initially agreed with her, backtracked.  I felt angry at this fandom's self-censoring.  I realized she was over loved, not because of any personal merit, but because she married Jared.  They were calling her a queen.  Seriously?  A queen.  For what?  So I went on the internet to see if I was the only weird person who couldn’t detect her monarchical merits. 

That was last year-ish.  How do you think I stumbled onto tinhats.  I like most hats because it seems they don't conform to the politically correct norm of ’'treat the wives like gold’’.  And they don’t ask tinhat questions during panels.  Unlike the leeches who love destiel and Misha Collins.  Jared was becoming too extra when it came to Genevieve.  And I noticed he inserted an obligatory Gen mention at least once, in every single panel.  Even after seven years, he was far too “in love”.  And eventually, instead of being happy for their happiness, I started feel like they were rubbing their domestic bliss in everyone’s face.  “look at what we’ve got, nyah nyah nyah.’'  My polite and genuine [but not over the top] respect for their marriage dissipated.

You know who he reminded me off.  He reminded me of Tom Cruise when he was a guest on Oprah and was over pushing the epic love he had for Katie Holmes, jumping on the couch and fist pumping the air.  That incident, I found humorous and embarrassing.  This was plain irritating.  I noticed he’s slowed down now.  The unnecessary wife mentions sometimes don’t even make an appearance, for which I am thankful.  I wonder why though.  Unless he is telling a story that she is a part of, like the Highway story, he doesn’t mention her anymore.  My non tinhat guess is that he was aware that fans were getting pissed off, especially since, he had mentioned something about her in a panel recently [I don’t remember which one], and someone in the front row said:  We know! 

Another thing I don’t like about this relationship is Genevieve intruding on fan space.  If people are paying bucket loads to see their favorite actor, unless they specifically ask for a guest appearance by the actor’s wife, don’t intrude.  Once, Genevieve appeared on stage, during a J2 panel, to contribute something unnecessary to the story they were recounting.  I think it was the highway story.  Then she made sure she kissed him before leaving, while the crowd watched.  Why?  She added nothing fresh to the story, and couldn’t she wait to leave the stage, to kiss her husband.  She isn’t paying to see her husband.  The fans are.  Don’t take that precious time away from them. 

And I noticed, she usually sits at the side of the stage, overseeing the whole exchange.  As far as I know, Danneel hasn’t done that yet.  Why the need to loom over the proceedings?  Does she love to hear him talk?  That reminds me of the livestream they did, where he was talking and she mouthed ’'blah blah blah’' while making a mocking hand gesture, because apparently he was talking too much.  So obviously Jared’s yammering doesn’t entertain her.  

Then at Jib, she got to join the panel.  I didn’t fault her for attending because apparently the previous year, he had gotten sick and didn’t make the con.  I assumed she was there for moral support.  I am a non hatter so that is my analysis.  You cant of course, explain your perspective.  But that doesn’t mean she needs to be on stage.  For what?  Its not like she did something spectacular whilst there.  Rob, Rich and Jared had to take over the discussion because she was so dull.  Eventually even Jensen joined in, revved the crowd up even further, and left.  One of her fan girls complained that the boys ’'didn’t even let her speak”.  Thank goodness they didn’t.  

She is inserting herself between Jared and the fan, and now people are forced to be enthusiastic about her.  Its so unfair.  It almost seems like Genevieve wants shared custody of the fans.  That is not how fame works.  You earn it.  You don’t inherit it.  I started to get more and more annoyed with being forced, [by all of fandom, I thought] to go crazy over some woman, I could care less for.  She wasn’t impressive as fake Ruby.  And I was not the only one who thought so.  Cassidy was a bland actor, in my humble opinion.  Genevieve was worse. 

The only reason she didn’t fade into oblivion, like all the other female actors, is because she married Jared.  There was a blog called anti-Genevieve on Tumblr, that received a lawyers letter to cease and desist, because of defamation of character.  Its her right to safeguard her reputation, so no problem there, especially if the blog is over malicious without proof or facts.  I did visit the site.  But I don’t remember seeing anything horrible other than her being called a beard.  But it has been a while so maybe I just forgot.  

However,  there is another blog called Supernatural Snark.  Almost the entire blog bashes Jared for everything that comes out of his mouth.  One day, an ask about Jensen’s weird behavior at Jibcon, illicited an odd response from the blogger.  The asker said that Jensen’s breakdown was Misha, Jared and the destiheller’s fault because Misha queerbaits his fans, Jared teases destiel and the fans abused Jensen on Twitter after Jaxcon.  She said Jensen was trying to pacify the fans.  The blogger said that it didn’t make sense for Jensen to wait six months to pacify the fans.  Then she disabled the comment so the asker couldn’t respond.  Of course, even I know he waited six months, because he shares no other panel with Misha.  That’s when I realized that Supernatural Snark is a heller blog. 

How come Genevieve doesn’t send a cease and desist lawyer’s letter to this witch.  I think I know why.  She only looked for anti stuff about herself on the net and that’s how she found this page.  If she was looking for anti Jared blogs, she would have found Supernatural Snark.  The Minute Maid commercial and her words in it were a little incentive.  She said she was making so many sacrifices.  Well missy, bundle up your babies and buzz off to Vancouver.  You husband is not gone off to war.  You are sacrificing nothing. 

She doesn’t seem to care for him.  She doesn’t care about his campaign.  She never tags AFK for anything.  She tags Random Acts, though.  The thing that makes my blood boil, on a personal level, is that she claims that she also suffers from depression.  As a bipolar sufferer myself, the one trend I noticed is that when people are impatient with me, and I point out that I have bipolar disorder, they quickly say that they also suffer from depression, so they don’t look bad.  Since when does she have depression.  Because if she did, she wouldn’t ignore her husband’s campaign that is supposed to help people like her.  Is she sharing in her husband’s sympathy the same way she is sharing his fame? 

She has diehard fans on Instagram.  One of them is Ivana.  Ivana gushily asked Genevieve to sign her name so that Ivana could have it tattooed.  I was surprised.  When did Gen become a rockstar?  Then I realized that Ivana has her own SM page where she says she is ITK and best buds with Genevieve.  So she knows that Jared abuses his wife and neglects his children.  Ivana is a heller.  Her best friend Lua James [@Poptivist on Twitter], led a smear campaign against J2 for the Nolacon joke.  Her followers are the ones that made this problem reach MSM.  And J2 had to apologize, publicly, for nothing.  That is ok, because what Lua and gang were initially hoping for was for separates for the boys' panels, so that Jared wouldn’t be near Jensen.  Genevieve is making herself the whip with which hellers can beat Jared.

And both Ivana and Lua cornered Danneel at one con to tell her how everyone hated her, except them.  That was their snide contribution to tinhat hate.  Danneel signed Poptivist’s SPN magazine, with the caption:  “He is mine, bitches”… something inappropriate like that.  Danneel was wrong for writing that.  I noticed she fights with Jensen’s fans a lot.  Ungracious.  Lua is so toxic that she needs a guard at the cons, supplied by Creation to keep an eye on her.  WTF!!!  I always wondered why she wasn’t just excluded, but I think it’s because she is friends with a Creation staff member who also happens to be Misha’s relative.  And because she is a Misha fan girl, she gets to stay. 

That’s why Misha’s face appears on the main posters with J2, despite him not being a lead.  Because he is related to staff.    The wives have no fans, but I think Genevieve’s ego is in denial.  Her intellect isn’t, which is why Jared’s appears in her vlogs.  He is the deal sealer for her.  One day this pompousness is going to backfire on Gen.  I hope she figures that out one day. 

APOLOGIES FOR ANOTHER LONG POST.  I HOPE YOU DONT MIND.

Thank you for your submission, I’ve always wondered what non-hats make of the OTT parade and the wife stanning.

Okay so a million years ago someone asked me about my needle felting hobby and I promised to make a post with pics of all the My Little Pony figures I made back in the day, since that's where it all started (I'm totally a brony in case anyone's wondering). Then I forgot about it and now I don't even remember who the asker was so I can't tag them buuuut at long last here are some pics for anyone interested! There's quite a few of them so ima put them under the break. Here's my favorite one, a filly Fluttershy that I still have sitting on my shelf. I rarely keep my felted friends to myself, but she's a little bit special. <3

All of the pones are made in 2012-2014. ^^

Here's a Flutterbat! Unfortunately this one got lost in the mail while on her way to Russia (learned my lesson to never send anything to Russia without tracking). Buuut I made another one, so the one who commissioned her eventually got his own batty Flutters. :>

Aaaand here’s another filly Fluttershy! I got a lot of Fluttershy commissions for some reason. XD (She's my favorite pone so I ain't complaining.) The pose in the ref pic was a bit challenging but I think I pulled it off decently.

....and yet another filly Fluttershy :D These two actually went to the same buyer. He had a lot of love for Flutters. I can relate.

Luna! One of my faves - I really nailed the ref pic look. -^^- She went to France, if I remember correctly!

This is one of my earlier creations, a shadowbolt Rainbow Dash. I gave her to the 6-year-old girl next door who LOVES Rainbow Dash to bits for a birthday present. She was so happy she invited me to live in their house. ;///;

AJ! I loved this one. I remember the orange wool was really difficult to work with, but she turned out pretty amazing.

Omg, this awakens some warm memories. I randomly ran into someone who was feeling really bad and went "OMG CAN I DO SOMETHING TO CHEER YOU UP, I'LL NEEDLE FELT YOU A TINY DERPY WOULD THAT HELP". I had no idea who she was, I'd never even talked to her before. ':D But I ended up making this in a couple of hours and sending it to her free of charge, and it made her so happy omg. She messaged me on a weekly basis just to thank me, and I think I made something of a positive impact on her well-being in general. It made me very happy. ;v; I did a good person thing.

Nightmare Moon. This is like... the fourth one I ever made? I think? so she looks a bit generic but mehhh. :>

Pinkie! GOD I LOVE THAT GRIN. This is also one of my earlier works, made after Nightmare Moon I think. I gave her to my 11-year-old second cousin. She was so taken by the fact that a 21-year-old was into ponies. :D

Dramatic Rarity~ Her tail is really short! This one I gave to one of my best friends who loves Rarara.

Trixie, my second creation (and also second fav pon :3). Her hooves are ridiculously short. I actually have no idea what happened to her? I think I sold her? I probably sold her. OH NONO WAIT yes I sold her, for a charity thing! There was a con that had ended up a disaster and people had lost their money so a bunch of artists and creators rolled up their sleeves to help them out? Gosh, I'd completely forgotten. That was exactly what I loved about the brony community. So many genuinely kind and helpful people. ;v;

Aaaand last of all, the one that started my needle felting shenanigans! DERPY. <3 I must say she's incredibly well done giving the fact that I'd never needle felted anything three-dimensional before, and it had been at least 7 years since the last time I'd tried any kind of felting back in middle school. It all started completely on a whim - I had a ball of grey wool and thought "hmm, this is definitely Derpy color. How can I turn this wool into a Derpy?" I found a couple of felting needles from my craft stash (there was a lot of random crap I'd gotten from my friends for free) and just... started! I think it was 1 AM or something. XD But I'm very glad I did. Happy accidents. :D I've come a long way from this. I still have this one half for emotional reasons, half because she still is kinda lousily done. ':D

BONUS:

Not strictly needle felting, but here's a Fluttershy plushie! This was the only plush I ever did - my crappy sewing machine made it too much of a hassle. But I did make pretty good money with her. I even knitted her socks~ Oh, actually her eyes and cutie marks ARE needle felted onto the fabric, so maybe this does count after all?

Ookay, that’s all of them! I actually still have a few WIPs I never finished rolling around, plus there's the OC pony of Mic The Microphone (an amazing fandom rapper) that's actually all finished but I never had the balls to send it to him as a fan present. ..; Maybe one day.

Remember, requests and commissions for needle felted stuff are always open~

People sure do love djimmi boy for his character darlin'! You seem like somebody who hasn't been introduced to his appreciation yet (no offence!) 😆

(Sorry, no image because I’m on my mobile. Will edited and tag it later… and Tbh, i didn’t expect a messge for so long. I had a heart attack when I see a new message, you make my day! X3 )

Eheh… Maybe the case I think (i’m not often online here… despite a like a lot of post here and there XD )I tried to not check some tags related to him to avoid nsfw/porn posts, even with my safe option ON… (And some artist don’t tag or maybe “forgot” to tag them as Nsfw post so… yeah… I wish i have this blacklist option in my app or my computer but my mobile phone is not compatible for recent tumblr updates and I’m still running on internel explorer… -_-;;; )

Nah! You don’t offence me! It’s okay, I don’t know or notice a lot of stuff happen here so… yep éwè;I probably miss a lot of things when I’m not around so, that’ll be awesome if there is more of it and I can share them and admire them.

I’m happy to see that Djimmi has some appreciatons! He deserves more attentions and loves than King Dice . (Nothing against him, he’s also my fave next to Cagney and Dr. Kahl’s Robot. .w.; )Since I notice this big adorable buffy genie, I feel way more better and less anxious (he has something that give me good vibes and lucks I guess ^///^)He has some charme and silly personalities in game and many talented artists, writers and even askers/rpers with the way they portray him bring him life and improve his personalities. (I know, it’s kinda weird to say that but, to be honest, a character like Cuphead and Mugman will never live without the love of creators and fans ;) )

… I think I say too much and probably a lot of nonsense here and there but this is what I really want to reply. I’m not a hge talker irl but looks like I’m wrong in specific theme I guess X) (At least I tried to explain things, even I’m so bad at this… )

Thanks for your message, Anon. I really appreciate it!Let’s give Djimmi more love and appreciations than ever! èwé

(Oh gosh, I’m such a weirdo… Hopefully nobody will notice that. I’m so nervous and scared for the reactions… TxT; )
