Thoughts on Blue Kirby?
And/or reason why they've yet to appear on this art channel when the other colored Kirbs have?
Tumblr media
SGOSIDGASFG SORRY ANON FOR NOT DRAWING HIM </3 😭
I literally have no thoughts on this character. I don't draw him because he's not a canon character like Red Kirby or the other guys from KatAM, he's just a player 2 type character in RtDL.

I’ve always thought high teens for your age like 16 or 17. Imma go with 16 👍
not to be rude, but could you rephrase the first part of this? I legitimately do not understand that first sentence.

Hi! This might come off as a bit rude, I really hope it doesn't but I'm honestly not sure? I'll try to reword it if I think it does?
Anyways - I think the reason why there's so much push back with TMA/TME is because there's been people who are faking being transfem using it to say that transmasc people dont face oppression/shouldn't talk about their experiences with transmisoginy and transphobia (which is a thing that TERFs are known to do, and have admited doing) [I also wouldn't rule out transfems who are hurting lashing out at people, but I personally don't want to ascribe that to them since I think it's more likely TERFs doing]
There might also be push back about it bc some transmasc people might feel as though the TMA/TME thing is purposely excluding them from talking about their experiences seriously? This is kinda the one that I'm worried about coming off as rude, so I'll try to phrase it as how I felt? IDK - when I first heard about TMA/TME I had been going through a pretty rough time with my job -
I'm transmasc, and my boss says that they don't have to respect my pronouns OR legal name change until I'm far enough along on my medical transition that I would "feel correct". Because of that, I had wanted to go to other trans people and ask them about it, but someone told me that because I'm TME it's not all that important, that "sure that sucks, but they won't kill you, so let people with real problems ask for help". because of that I sort of saw TMA/TME as just a way that people exclude and ignore transmasc people - as I've also been told by people that transmasc history isn't as important as transfem history, because we "havent done anything to help queer people".
Obviously all of that is wrong, and obviously it could be TERFs/transphobes trying to get us to fight each other, so that we don't push back against them and their oppression. But there were people agreeing with them, and not everyone on these forums and chatrooms can be TERFs.
And it took months for me to compartmentalize that TMA/TME is probably helpful for the people who choose to use it. It's almost definately a completely neutral way to describe people. But I understand where the push back is coming from bc I pushed back.
i hope this didnt come off as rude, im sorry if it did!
hey uh that fucking sucks??? part of the reason we use transmisogyny as a word is that it lets transphobia- which VERY MUCH AFFECTS TRANSMASC PEOPLE IN A VERY BAD WAY- exist and be its own thing. so like. idk. im sorry dude

series: yoimix christmas event !! (๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)
pairing: cyno x reader
synopsis: sore losers don’t get to play the game anymore. cyno knows this and yet, he can’t help but sulk in your winning glow—it’s always christmas with you around, isn’t it?
prompt: holiday game night + summer christmas
genre: fluff, boyfriend au
wc: 1.4k
warnings: language, suggestive, cyno is so lovesick
a/n: miss steph @aequariem​ im so sorry for delaying this 😩 i hope you had the best holiday season and may you be blessed with more victories (and the short sulky man) in tcg soon 💞
Tumblr media
There are few moments in his life where Cyno really questions his decision-making.
When he goes a little too easy on the salt during cooking, or when he gives into your puppy eyes for takeout every Tuesday—if he thinks about it deeply, you’re almost always the root cause. As much as it pains him, you’re all the more endearing that way with your habits and demands. However, whatever misjudgement he carries out doesn’t extend to this. It’s not like him to fail when he’s playing Genius Invokation TCG. You. When did you get so much better at it?
“I win!” 
You clap your hands gleefully, beaten him at yet another match at the small Christmas party hosted by Nilou. He’s too straightlaced to win at bluff, and you’re too hotheaded to play poker. So, the two of you have taken to another sort of card game. Of course, with your cheerful yelling and his miserable expression, you made the game look a bit too exciting.
“So what’s my prize?” You tease, grinning ear to ear. That look only means trouble and Cyno is unprepared.
“I won’t ask for much—don’t look so glum.” You pout, before leaning in to whisper, “A kiss maybe? You haven’t kissed me all day.”
It’s too warm for him to be feeling this way. Yes, he’s dating you; and yes, you flutter his heart as though ripples on a pool. It’s effortless, and his breathing gets uneasy when left five minutes alone with you.
“Ugh.” Alhaitham scrunches up his face, earning a glare from the General Mahamatra himself.
Dehya elbows him immediately, shushing him. “They’re having a moment!”
“Well, they’re having too many moments for one night,” Alhaitham grumbles.
Kaveh stifles a laugh. “Just admit you’re lonely and miserable.”
“At least I’m not lonely and homeless.”
“Hey, now—”
The mirth of your laughter fills the warm Christmas air—after all, it never gets too cold in Sumeru. If Cyno is being honest, you’re the one who makes it feel like Christmas with your explosive joy and sparkling curiosity for all things wondrous. He stays up for hours by your side as you name the stars in the winter skies, joy unbound—he’s always wondered how you keep the flame in you alive. He’s drawn like a moth to it.
(“Acually, moths are drawn to bright light because it confuses their navigational system, so that’s a bit of rude comparison, isn’t it?” was your response to the phrase. 
To be very honest, you do confuse his navigational system sometimes.)
“Alright, anyone else who thinks they can beat me?” You flex your bicep in an exaggerated gesture.
“Do we get a kiss too?” Kaveh asks, and is promptly hit in the face by a pillow. The General Mahamatra’s right arm never misses.
“That was a joke! A joke!” Kaveh covers his nose, tears in his eyes. A pillow shouldn’t hurt so much. “Nilou, do you use bricks for the stuffing?”
“Yes, it keeps my back straight for my performances!” Nilou smiles innocently.
Kaveh is rendered speechless while the others hold back laughter.
“That was a joke, Kaveh,” she giggles, covering her mouth with the back of her hand.
“I hate all of you.”
Cyno loves your laughter. It reminds him of holidays and sweet caramel pie kisses. The bells ringing in his ears stop abruptly as he reminds himself of his consecutive defeats. Oh, the shame. But Christmas Eve is no time to sulk. He bites his lower lip to keep from pouting like a schoolboy. General Mahamatra, reduced to a lovesick puppy at your hands. That should be the greater shame.
But is it really his fault when it’s you, with joy blooming at your fingertips?
“Well, if no one’s got enough balls to challenge me,” you announce, looping your arms under Cyno’s hoodie and around his waist. “I will be cuddling my boyfriend and being disgustingly romantic.”
Now, this puts Cyno in a predicament. He wants to play more with you, but for heaven’s sake, he can’t have your arms anywhere but around him. He clenches his jaw, a bit of a sulk brushed over his face.
You, on the other hand, try your hardest to suppress your smug smile. When it comes to flustering your dear, straightforward boyfriend, you’ve got a few cards up your sleeve. You’re not saying you cheated—of course not. But the visible conflict on his face is worth every dime of luck you were graced with for these games. 
As Kaveh likes to say, you’re menace to society. But really, you’re only a menace to Cyno.
“You’re warm,” you mumble, snuggling closer.
“Must be uncomfortable in the heat,” he hums a response. His fingers run through your hair in a rhythm akin to clockwork.
“Not at all.”
Cyno is used to being perplexed by you all the time. You never make sense. A few minutes pass by, as the two of you enjoy people watching (Kaveh is swearing at Alhaitham; Dehya only makes it worse). It’s your favorite activity, but your friends’ antics make it a sport.
“My arm is falling asleep.” Cyno grunts, trying to sit up straighter.
You click your tongue. “Shh. Let it sleep.”
“(Name), if only you weren’t leaning your whole body weight on only my left forearm.”
“Oh, do you want to be on top instead?”
Remind Cyno why he’s wearing the hoodie again? The heat rushing through his skin makes it hard to breathe for a second or two, as he tugs at his collar. You stitched two sunflowers onto it—and the one with devil horns is supposed to represent him. That cannot be right.
“Don’t- don’t say that out loud, (name).” He clears his throat. “Everyone might get the wrong idea.”
You make your mouth in an ‘o’ shape, lowering your voice. “Shall I say it in private then? When we’re—”
You might be the only one in Sumeru that can cause a severe coughing fit within the General Mahamatra. He’s dating the number one threat to his life. No assassin could come close.
A snort follows from a distance beside you, making you turn. Nilou sticks her tongue out as though at fault. “Whoops. Did not need to overhear that. I’ll go slice the tension between Kaveh and Alhaitham. The one between you two is…”
Nilou makes a pained expression, still managing to offer a thumbs up.
“...beyond my capabilities.”
You stick your tongue back out at her. “You’re the one who set up our first date!”
“And I’m so happy for you guys but you make me want to take a bath with an electro slime.” With one last sweet smile, she vanishes to the other side of the room. It’s true that your roommate is the one who introduced you. Nilou’s intuition is as sharp as ever. You’d thank her more if she didn’t sob every time you talk about Cyno because you’re ‘simply too cute’.
Cyno turns to you with a puzzled expression. “What does that mean?”
“What does what mean?”
“An electro slime bath. That must be uncomfortable.”
You blink. Taking a deep breath, you face him.
“So she means… It’s because we’re too coupley- and- uh, she’s not doing cute coupley stuff so- uh- she’s joking that she’d rather get electrocuted.”
Yeah, there’s no way you’re explaining this one.
“Oh, no wonder she left lightning fast.”
“Oh god.”
“See, it’s because Nilou referenced an electro slime and lightning is—”
And in flash, you pull him down by the collar before he can complete, your lips on his. You thought Cyno wasn’t too fond of sweets, and yet, you taste salted caramel. For you isn’t a valid answer. It’s conceited but part of you wants to entertain the idea of it. After all, you did learn to play his favorite game, to cook with him in sync, and to share kisses where he likes them—all for him. Love is two-way rope, and both of you tug too hard.
“Do you wanna take this up to the bedroom?” You tease, pulling away.
“Sure,” he says, tucking your hair behind your ears. “What’s up there?”
“Oh, by the way, do you have protection?”
Cyno straightens, furrowing his brows. “Why? What the fuck’s up there?”
That’s it. You can no longer hold back your laughter. You swear your boyfriend is funnier when he’s not trying.
“Stop laughing, (name).” Cyno crosses his arms, a look close to offense flashing across his eyes. “I don’t have my staff. Is there something bothering you?”
You can only laugh harder, trying your best to form a coherent response with tears in your eyes. Only Cyno can make you laugh this hard, much to the abject horror of everyone else in Sumeru. In a way, they’re grateful you’re their shield against his forsaken jokes. 
You roll your eyes. “Yes, Cyno. There’s a lot of stuff up there that’s oh so scary. Like my dil—”
“(Name).”

HI, SORRY, COULD YOU DO MAYHE LIKE A SMALL SHORT HEADCANON LIST KF THE KOMBAT KIDS WITH A READER THAT STIMMS?? LIKE, CASSIE, TAKEDA, JACQUI, AND KUNG JIN, SEPERATE? IM SO SORRY FOR REQUESTIJG SO MUCH, IGNORE THIS IF YOUR WORKIJG TOO MUCH!!! HAVE A GOOD DAY!! :>
hi as a note for the future, please dont send us asks in all caps. its startling to see it show up suddenly as we read it as yelling and it can be hard to process the words when in all caps. /info
but! heres a few headcanons with mk next genners an a stimming reader!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cassie Cage with a reader who stims!
Tumblr media
she gives you gum she's always got some especially if chewing is one of your stims shes got a pack of gum just in case just for you
she found out it was stimming by accidentally being mean "can you stop that? its getting annoying" "youre stimming? oh, my bad, nevermind"
she probably has stims of her own but doesnt realize it will catch on to hers after she's started catching onto yours
gets curious about what counts as a stim for you "hey you keep doing that thing with your hands, is that a stim too?"
the next person to make fun of, mock or otherwise be rude to you about your stims gets the cassie special she lives by the phrase "talk sht get hit" of course she'll snap a few quips before it gets that far but she's not letting anyone bother her partner let alone let anyone make you feel insecure about it
expect teasing about how cute some of your stims are esp if you get excited or happy and stim, those are the cutest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jacqui Briggs with a reader who stims!
Tumblr media
much like cassie she'll tease you about stims she thinks are cute "aawe i love it when flap your hands"
if you like things that light up for visual stim reasons she will use it as an excuse to show off her gauntlets like the gif above girls very proud of them, shes cool like her dad
if you ask she'll let you play with her hair youre probably one of if not the only person she'll let touch her hair not counting her dad.
she didnt need to ask when she first noticed your stims she just knew
if anyone tries mocking your stims they get the stare unlike cassie who will be the loud and aggressive type shes the quiet intimidating type she will intervene if she needs too
most likely person to have some sort of fidget or stim toy on hand
however she will ask you to stim another way if youre a pen clicker. the clicking noise of buttons gets on her nerves really fast "its bad enough i already gotta listen to cassie popping bubblegum, babe"
Tumblr media
bzz i can probably do the other two in a seperate post if you'd like!
i wasnt expecting mortal kombat to be what brought more attention to my blog bzz /pos

I think it’s mostly just the way you phrased that post was like you were assuming whoever was reading it must be shallow and have no life or personality outside of “consuming media” (the most robotic internet term for enjoying art and stories). Which just feels ironic given that it’s on the self-proclaimed “fandom website” where people are bound to go onto their blogs to talk about, like, movies or whatever the hell. Not that I think that’s definitely how you feel because I don’t know you, but at least in my opinion that how most people read your post. It just feels kind of annoying in an especially Tumblr-y way to ask “can you even stand yourself when you aren’t reading a book? do you even have any personality outside of watching that show?”, get surprised when some people who see it think it’s dumb, then immediately go “well I must be right then if you’re all so offended by it… Maybe that’s something you should unpack”. Sorry people are being rude to you though lol, I’m sure you meant well and it was probably just meant to be like a 5-note-post for your mutuals or something.
it was a series of questions i wrote mainly for myself and maybe 5 people who i knew wouldn't interpret my words in bad faith and knew what i was trying to say because we are friends and they understand where i am coming from and the context i was talking in. it wasn't intended to blow up nor was it my goal and im actually quite frustrated that it did because it's only been a headache. even in this ask you are misinterpreting my words and reading into them in the worst possible way and making assumptions about me that are incorrect and you even acknowledge you're doing this in the ask lol so i don't even know what your goal was with sending this. i deleted the post(s) a while ago and want nothing more to do with this conversation sorry

hi hello, sorry it's another amputee question, idk if you get tired of these. i found your blog and i like how you share your experiences, thank you for this. im abled myself but im writing a story, and i want my main girlie protag to have a prosthetic leg and here's the thing, i dont really have a reason for it. i guess it says something about me, don't know what, but i just don't know if that's considered, well, offensive, or rude, or something. i don't plan to have any focus on it in the story. the medium is a comic so it's going to be always visible as a prosthetic, but i don't want to explain it in-story either, no backstory, she would probably just have it since early childhood. it won't affect the plot. and that's where i don't know if that's even okay. it feels weird to want that, to include that, almost as if i need to somehow turn the story about it, to have some kind of statement. which i don't actually want to make or even feel able to make as never experiencing it. i want for her to have a prosthetic leg just because. and i don't have anyone to ask this, and i don't mean to offend you by this, and i apologize if i somehow did. but if it's okay with you to answer, i'd appreciate reading. if it's gonna be an angry rant i'd like to read it too. i know you're an upper body amp, but idk, i feel like this question isn't much about the use of prosthetics and more of the general amputee characters, and im scared to ask reddit, i don't even know if that ask made sense. thank you if you read that all, please don't feel pressured to answer. hopefully you'll have something good that brightens your day a little!
thank you, i actually really appreciate this ask! sorry that the response is long and wordy, i got a bit carried away…
so, i've gotten a lot of asks/dms/notes from writers asking about how to write their amputee characters/ocs after my big "writing advice" post, and i think i've ended up ignoring every single one of them, because… well, not to be rude to all those people, but they seem to have completely bounced off the whole 'know why you are writing this' thesis, too caught up in the excitement of their own fantasy to even notice the bit about understanding your own intent as an author and why that matters, let alone really engaging with it. and at that point, i don't think there's any advice or feedback i can give that would break through, especially when it seems what most people are seeking is little details and nuances to add authenticity to their token representation characters or unintentional stereotypes.
but, without any other details or nuances that shape a character's portrayal, based solely on what you've said in this ask, i feel like you're on the right track and probably gonna do fine. the thing that sticks out most clearly to me is how you phrase it, "i WANT to write a protagonist to have a prosthetic leg", you are acknowleding your role as omnipotent author, and i honestly think that's worth a lot more than many people realise when it comes to crafting fiction. you've acknowledged your desire for this character to be a certain way, and you're being introspective about the source of those desires and how it will come across - and that means you're almost certainly also thinking about how it interacts with the rest of the story, how it serves your themes, and how it will be interpreted and understood by the audience.
a lot of responses or people asking me for advice say things like "i am writing a character who HAS an amputation", implying it's an observable fact, pre-concluded before their authoring of them, and therefore something they're much less likely to examine critically. maybe it's unfair of me to draw such deep conclusions from shallow choice of language, but firstly, so many people have been far more obvious about it, saying a character "revealed" or "told" them about the amputation, or just straight up talking abot them as independent entities with their own agency, as if it's a biography and not fiction. and secondly, what are we even doing talking about improving the craft of our writing and how it will be recieved by the audience if we're not going to think about how framing affects interpretation? if someone is reaching out to me asking for writing advice, you bet i am going to assume this is a person who wants to improve the details of their own writing craft, and i'm going to critically engage with the tiny snippet of writing they've given me and analyse how it reflects on them, even if it is "just" a tumblr interaction. i don't even consider myself a writer really, the art i mainly dedicate myself to is music, but i still put careful thought into anything i write that's more than a few sentences, and think about the audience it will be seen by.
sorry, that's a whole other tangent… not at all about what you asked. but by way of example and segue back; what i see you reveal in the writing of your ask is a nervousness and anxiety to 'do well' in your writing, to create a character with an amputation in a way that holds up to scrutiny and criticism, and also a fear of what unfortunate things you might be saying and the responses it would provoke if you misstep. i can totally understand that, not just because you messaged me and i personally have a track record of going off on people lol, but also… yeah, people are very eager to judge and attack art based on a hidden metric of how 'well' it does 'representation' or handles things, and be vocal about the failings of things that make an earnest attempt. and i can see that it's very appealing to want to pull back and hide from that; a character who has a prosthetic leg opens you up to your audience critiquing how well you've handled it, most of them not amputees, many of them with the subtlety and media analysis skills of a sledgehammer… while if you write a story with no amputees in it, nobody has anything to critique.
unfortunately, no matter how well or carefully or authentically you write, there will always be someone engaging with it in bad faith yelling loudly about how awful you are; i recently made a short sharp post giving a trigger warning for medical abuse and body horror in the new zelda game that painfully evoked some of my own experiences, i still got people reblogging it telling me i'm ableist for saying disability is body horror (piss on the poor reading comprehension) and should apologise to all amputees (waves my one hand and nub around in a comical hello gesture). maybe that is on me for writing it quickly in an upset huff instead of making at least two proofreading and editing passes and oh geez, this is getting waaay too long and off topic. okay, to the point.
honestly, from what little you've told me, to be overly reductive, i'd give it a stamp of approval. sometimes people just only have one leg and that's fine, people are born like that, it's a thing that happens - and it doesn't need to shape the entirety of their lives, and reflecting that in fiction is more than just fine, i think it's what we need. sure any amputee character i write is going to be an overt commentary on ableism and medical abuse, because that's what i live, that's what affects me. but i know because i've watched their stuff on youtube, that there are so many people out there that were born limb different that just, don't care about it, and it doesn't really affect their life at all. if your protag has a prosthesis, sure she's had to get fitted for it and train for it, and it might benefit you to do an afternoon of research into that if you want to see how it might holistically flesh out her worldview (look up osseointegration vs external sockets, if you want keywords to help, look for patient experiences instead of doctors).
but also, if her other leg has finished growing and she's got a prosthesis that works, she may not have thought about it literally for years, maybe decades depending on her age. i had braces as a teen and it has zero impact on my life, i've had foot and back problems in the past, and it's irrelevant to me now other than getting new off the shelf shoe inserts every few years. i can think of at least one (australian) celebrity with a pretty long and successful comedy career who most people don't even know was born without one foot, it's just not relevant.
sometimes people just have things going on in the background that don't matter, and sometimes characters should have something just going on in the background too, no matter what "save the cat" sort of writing advice tells you. sometimes cutting literally everything out of a story unless it serves the plot or themes is bad actually, and i guarantee you, even as a hand amputee, i would absolutely LOVE to see a leg amp character who is just having a life, doing other plot relevant things. especially much more than i want to see all the characters of people leaving tags saying some version of "thanks OP, now i can write the suffering and torment of my oc much more authentically". think of the hypothetical little girl born without a leg that just wants to see someone like her.
and finally. what i think is maybe at the core of your anxiousness, at least to my read of your ask. you've thought about your role as author and self reflected about why you want to write a character with a prosthetic leg, and you can't find an answer in you, and you're not sure if that means it's something bad. well, assuming good faith from you, i think that's fine too. people who fetishise prostheses or amputations, people obsessed with the suffering or (percieved) depenedncy, or whatever else it is that makes them yearn to write their hacky awful robot arm characters; they probably don't do the introspection, and if they did, they'd find their answer right away (horniness or power fantasy usually), although i doubt they'd be honest with themselves about it, let alone others. assuming good faith and honesty, if you can't find in yourself WHY you want to write this character with a prosthetic leg….. it's probably just a harmless aesthetic preference.
if you wanted it to do cool things or make her more powerful or more special than others or be endless inconvenience and suffering or make her the chosen one because of it or something, that'd set off alarm bells for me yeah, and i'd be reading into it as a much more harmful aesthetic choice, and responding much more aggressively. but if you want to write a story about other things that features a protagonist who just so happens to have a plausibly normal boring prosthetic leg…. that seems fine to me, honestly. i tend towards having characters with certain hair and eye colour combinations that i find aesthetically pleasing, and as long as i'm thinking about how that could come across and trying to avoid any pitfalls around fetishisation and nastier implications, i think it's probably fine.
there are really only three concrete pieces of advice i would give you:
one, when you've got a cohesive first/beta draft, try to find at least one sensitivity reader who's got as similar disability experience as possible to your character (lower limb, same kinda circumstances, same general use of prosthesis), and listen to their feedback.
two, while i totally acknowledge that leg protheses can be super useful everyday kit for many people, i still have a general aversion to "this character NEEDS a prosthesis or they're helpless" readings, and many people don't want to or can't use leg prostheses… if it were me doing it, i'd make acknowledgement of that, and in a visual medium like a comic, i think that's as simple as having a single panel showing your character waking up in bed without the prosthesis, and maybe at her home there are forearm crutches leaning against the wall as background decoration. maybe if you have any scenes where she's woken up in the middle of the night, or interrupted before being fully dressed for the day, you could show them in use. but that's a personal value suggestion from me, your judgement or sensitivity readers might disagree on the importance of that.
three, you will absolutely need to establish as early and overtly as possible that the prosthesis and amputation DOES NOT MATTER to the story or her character arc. people still very much have a default normative body in mind when engaging with fiction, and anything that deviates from that will 100% be interpreted as a checkov's gun that they will be anticipating and theorising about going off, unless you squash that down. if you want to make a statement about it not mattering, unfortunately i think you're going to have to spell that out as obviously as possible without breaking the fourth wall, or else the audience trained on existing robot limb tropes will be waiting for the traumatic tragic backstory or secret rocket booster to become relevant.
but also…. i'm just some bitch on the internet, talking like i'm more important than i am, getting loudly angry about limb difference when i'm a pretty recent and unusual addition to the group myself. so like, don't take anything i say as absolute, and while it's always good to listen to others, at the end of the day you still gotta synthesise all their thoughts into your own.
i don't really have a nice concluding statement other than to say, thankyou for appreciating my post, and most importantly, thankyou for caring about the craft of writing enough to critically analyse your own authorship, and being curious about how to improve on a sensitive topic.

hi! first of all thank you for your blog, it has been very helpful to me in understanding both aspects of my own autism, and also learning about non-speaking people, since i don't have experience with that and have never met a non-speaking person before. i was hoping i could ask a question!
i'm very asocial so i don't know anyone irl outside of direct family, but i am planning on trying to change this (with supports ofc) and hoping i can find somewhere to meet other autistic people. if i do this there is definitely a chance i will meet people using aac. something that makes me a bit nervous about this is that unless i'm focusing on something, extended periods of silence make me really anxious in social situations.
would it be considered rude if i'm having a conversation with someone using AAC and, while they're typing/writing/etc, i do something like draw or use a fidget toy? i frequently do this in conversations with speaking people as well but i'm not sure if the social dynamic is different. it would look like this, though maybe in a different order:
> i say something
> while the other person is typing or writing or operating whatever aac device/method they use, and it is quiet, i draw or fidget in some way
> once their response is being shared, i can respond to it
i believe some forms of aac speak words as they're written, so this is specifically a question for types of aac that wait until what someone is writing is fully complete before it is shared. like if someone writes in a journal and then turns it to face me, for example.
in your experience, would this be hurtful?
(also, i hope i phrased this well and did not say anything harmful, and im sorry if i did)
/genuine question, not forcing
I personally wouldn't mind it at all! I don't think its rude. To me it would just feel the same way as if someone doodled and fidgeted whilst talking to a speaking person. I think it's pretty normal to do, actually! ^^

-eddie is enthralled when he sees you walk through the hallways and he just has to introduce himself
-the corridor is busy and loud but eddie can make himself heard
- he shouts after you "Hey, you in the band shirt" but you dont turn around
-and Eddie is just so perplexed and confused but he's not one to give up
- he catches you leaving again and he shouts you again and once again eddie doesn't get a response
-but eddies mind doesn't jump to "they're being rude"
-he runs after you, the chain around his neck bouncing against his chest
-finally he taps you on the shoulder, surprising you
-" Oh I didn't mean to startle you" he chews his hair and smiles shyly
-"Oh that's okay, what's up?" You smile
-"im eddie" he bows to you dramatically
-"y/n" you chuckle at him
-" I like your shirt" eddie says and his eyes are so warm and kind
- "Oh, thanks! do you listen to them?"
-" I do one better, I can play them on the guitar" he's not bragging, it's just eddie.
-your eyes light up at that
-"you wanna hear me play sometime?" His face is back to being shy again
-"yeah of course"! And Eddie is just so happy you said yes
-"I um, shouted you, earlier today, it looks like you didn't hear me" it's sort of phrased as a question and now it's your turn to be shy
-"Oh gosh, i wasn't being rude or anything!" You reassure him
-"No no I didn't think you were" eddie corrects you and your face falls in relief
-"the corridor, it's too loud so I take out my hearing aids when I leave class and sometimes I don't put them back in, it's too much sometimes" you mumble the last part
-"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know!, I would of made sure I came up to you and didn't shout at you"
-"eddie, it's fine, not many people do, you know how certain people are here so I just-
-"it's okay, I get it, but you shouldn't have to hide you know?" Eddie makes sure you can see his face now
-eddie hands you his arm to cling onto as you both head to his trailer
-"you know what, hang on a sec I've got something for you" eddie stops and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny bit of paper
-"its too small for anything for me but its the perfect size for your hearing aids!, only if you want of course" he says fiddling with his rings
-"Oh my gosh I love it" you say, taking out your hearing aid and applying the sticker
-"how does it look"? You ask
-"fabulous" eddie signs.

DR.MALPRACTICE HEADCANNONS!!
Alright, if you want context im practically begging you to look at this one ficlet i wrote.
Right here~
Okay, headcannon time!!
General/Fluff Headcannons
God, where do I start?
He's so fragile with you, He has this fear that even the slightest touch could kill you.
Don't worry, he still touches you more then anything.
You are his favorite afterall.
He has you on a healthy diet, can't have you dying on him,now can we?...
"Awh, darling. Why aren't you eating? Not hungry?" He sat right next to you. Usually, you didn't say much to him. Only giving slight nods whenever he asked questions. But, you've started realize he genuinely cares for you, which has sparked conversation every now and then. "Oh...I'm just not the biggest fan of chicken si-" Wilbur cupped you mouth before you could continue. "You don't need to call me sir, just call me Wilbur." He smiled as he lowered his hand from your cheeks.
He'll do just about anything for you, if you just ask to be touched, he'll be the most clingy man ever. Oh, do you want some more to eat? He's standing right in front of your bed with a meal of your choosing. ( The meal has to be healthy btw UNLESS you are on your period-- or need sugar for some medical reason of sorts.)
Oh, and every now and then you get a hold of his lab coat. He leaves it in there time to time.
"Love... I know you have it." Wilbur was insisting for his lab coat back, but you were hiding it under your pillow. You were trying so hard to hold back laughter. "I don't have it..." You said, covering your mouth. Wilbur sighed, "Well, i guess i won't be able to get you more blankets now..." Your head sprung up. "No... You wouldn't..." He snickered, "If you want my lab coat so bad, then i wanna guess that's really all the blanket you'll need, hm?" You jolted to your pillow, yanking the lab coat from underneath, handing it over to Wilbur. Wilbur smirked, "Even if i didn't get it back, I'd still get you blankets."
Hear me out, Wilbur fucking loves cuddles.
It's become one of his favorite things to do with you.
Like, he'll bring his phone into your room and watch something like gravity falls while your in his lap. (on your bed of course)
He just loves to be near you.
Agnsty Headcannons
Lets all be honest here though, he can be be rude some times.
Whenever he's upset with you, (which is actually quite rare) he'll just be cruel to you.
"Shut up, Labrat." It's a phrase you vividly remember him using.
Honestly, he probably uses pet names in a condescending way just to piss you off, or just when he's upset with you.
I'd like to imagine that the only reason he'd be 'upset' at you, would probably be for reasons like you escaping your room, being extremely difficult during a test-- or even just a simple check-up in that case-- or maybe faking illnesses to get out test, that kinda stuff.
(in the context of the lil ficlet, reader was pretending to be like, EXTREMELY sensitive to pain. sorry if it's cringe lol)
"The more you squirm the harder you make it..." Wilbur had been doing another test on you, but GOD the needle he was using was really sharp...Too sharp. "Look, Wilbur, I swear I didn't mean it--I swear--I thought it was funny." You pleaded. Wilbur rolled his eyes at you, before slamming your arm (the arm he was trying to put the needle in ofc) against the surgery bed and holding it there, his grip was tight and however much you tried to move your arm away from his grasp, he still wouldn't let it go. You felt the needle perice your skin, it stung more then anything. "See? That wasn't so bad, wasn't it?" Wilburs grasp on your arm loosened. You quickly pulled your arm back, as he looked at you with a stern look. "I expect better from you." He walked out the room, leaving you alone, by yourself.
He'd come back only minutes later realizing what he did.
Wilbur would wipe the tears from your face, probably. Depends on how he feels.
It's a guessing game really, Will he come in and give you a endless amount of praises or will he come in and start yelling and screaming at you?
He doesn't know how to let out anger, so he puts it on other people.

before you follow/interact
very very random stuff can appear on this blog from what i write, reblog, and post so i apologize in advance for that. my writings are a mix between rushed, lazy, detailed, and late-night thoughts so just a warning. i normally start series that take a bit to update.
it takes me a while to actually converse with new mooties and i'm so so sorry about that. i normally ramble and am VERY awkward when it comes to being in people's inboxes. open to making moots and friends but if i don't like your vibe then i won't interact with you.
my writing style and layout for my fics is different because i haven't found one that i enjoy soooo. my masterlist is updated weekly at best so keep that in mind. PLEASE read my masterlist before requesting.
neurodivergent so keep that in mind while talking with me. i can sometimes misspell and go off topic/loss focus because of my adhd. im a manga reader along with skipping along with some shows so i might spoil on accident or talk about spoilers themselves. very very busy with high school and some college work often so updates and responses might be slow. 
-13 and 20+ UNLESS we're already moots, friends, and/or server members, don't interact directly with me or ask to be moots. mdni blog or strictly nsfw blogs don't interact.
my pronoun page is linked on my pinned where it says "s(he)". it would be appreciated if you read it.
self-shippers are absolutely welcome!!
those who identify as a male please do not interact with my sapphic writings! those are specifically wlw and nblw so i would appreciate it if you left them alone.
do not interact
basic dni criteria (homophobic, transphobic, ableist, racist, fatphobic, etc); just treat people with decency and we'll be cool. cannot depict fiction from reality, mlm & wlw (which includes mlnm & wlnm) fetishizers, people who bash on others just because. people who jokes about serious topics, and those who turn the victim into the victimizer. religion bashers; i don't care if you don't share the same beliefs, it's still rude. israel supporters and zionists are an absolute no.
those who age up minors solely to write nsfw content about them. i understand if you need to age them up for "plot purposes", ex: a college au, but as long as it's nothing sexual. at the end of the day they're still minors. "but they're fictional characters" please don't.
minors who interact with nsfw and who write it in some way PLEASE do not interact, it makes me uncomfortable. i'm not going on a major blog dive of who interacts with me and who follows me so i'm just going to ask you to not interact with me directly.
i soft-block people who i don't want following me, but if i do so and you still follow me you're getting hard-blocked. do not be a creep on my blog or in my inbox. problematic people or those who've had allegations put upon them do not interact with me either. haters leave, you're not welcome here.
people in support of those with serious allegations/conflict do not interact with me or you will be blocked.
about my inbox
again please be decent in my inbox. mooties you're welcome to ramble in it anytime and i love when others decide to drop by it, too. anons are welcome as long as you're not a hate anon or just a hater (as mentioned in "do not interact").
please do not spam in my inbox even if we're moots! sending three things at a time is okay but doing so without spacing out is not okay. don't use crude phrasing unless we're close and i know it's a joke. ex: talk about how i can be "stupid".

I so deeply apologize for all the asks you are getting about scc and their relationship. This has been fandom drama for well over a year now.
This type of drama has no place outside of the fandom. And the people that continue to spread this information are missing details and remaining willfully ignorant of other interpretations.
I am so, so sorry that you’ve been pulled into this. It makes many fans, myself included, feel disgust when reminded about the mistranslation situation. It is a genuine stain on the community because it divided the fans so deeply.
Once again, I am so very sorry for the way your ask box and this poll has been made to be a ground for this ongoing drama (that began over a year ago). Please know that you have been responding well and that there is (currently) no official relationship. (Currently) in canon, they are not stated as siblings or poly.
If you, or anyone else need ‘evidence’. This is the closest to canon that we ever received any information on their relationship. (from nelnal’s scc reference page).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have been told that the word is: nakayoshi
I was also told the word has no alternative meaning outside of platonic relationships.
is that the word ppl keep saying is confirmation they're brothers?
tbf im mostly sorry you guys keep having to deal w this, the last ask i got i thought was very nice, they didnt seem to condenm tbe ship, just stated they felt uncomfortable w the use of nelnal art since allegedly nelnal sees them as siblings, which i totally understand! id agree if it wasnt for the fact that nelnal also said they're fine w headcanons and theres the issue of possible mistranslation, which creates a blurry line there
in general i havent gotten any kind of aggressive asks since the semifinals, and they werent even mean, just the way the asks were phrased came off as a lil aggressive for example "arent they siblings??? why did they make it this far???" and stuff like that - even then it didnt feel like they were being rude to me, i think ppl assumed that headcanon was canon and i didnt know so they wanted to warn me? so u dont need to worry about me in regards to that i promise 💖
im sorry yall have to deal w that so often and from actuslly hateful people though :/ especially being smth so simple to fact check (even the argument about them being siblings is just that the artist might have that headcanon, but in the game lore theres nothing beyond them being friends and in a band)

im sorry if that came out wrong im not fluent in english so things might come of wrong. but idk why you guys suddenly started being rude to me. i like your plots and concepts i just dont see yeji g!p and wanted to know if u ever would write ryjin g!p. there was never meant anything bad by it. i guess i got my answer and thats fine but there was no need to be suddenly rude
Again, I'm taking this in good faith so I will respond but hopefully this'll be the last of this discussion.
If you meant no harm then no hard feelings, thank you for the apology.
As for me and my fellow writer buddies "being rude" I don't think readers understand how frustrating it can be as a writer to see people send stuff that basically amounts to "fuck this thing that you like to write you should probably write this thing that I like". A lot of readers will never actually engage in our works beyond demanding for more and the intention might be flattery but it comes off as entitlement when you phrase it in a certain way. A lot of work goes into writing lmao it may seem like a simple thing but it's not. When you put a lot of work into something and see someone say they'd rather you write something else in what seems to be a super passive aggressive way ofc it'd be annoying. I think writers are allowed to be annoyed when we do so much only to be reduced to content machines and I don't regret being pissed nor will I hide my irritation if this kinda thing happens again.
You've said that wasn’t your intention and I'll believe you on that but you used the same sort of language that those people do and that's why me and my friends reacted the way we did. I don't think I have to apologise for feeling frustrated about your comments and sharing that frustration with my friends so I won't give you an ingenuine apology or say some dumb shit like "sorry you feel this way" but I will say we're cool. It's all water under the bridge for me and if you think I'm an asshole that's also fine I probably am lmao but I hope that at least you get why it pissed me and other writers tf off.
Idk if you'd like some advice but as a general psa you don't have to tell a writer you don’t like something they write a lot. There's a difference between criticisms and taste and considering this is a taste sorta deal there was no need to include that bit about not enjoying Yeji gp. Going "hey your writing is cool got any ryujin gp stories" would have sufficed. Heck there's ways to disagree with someone and not sound rude, I know I have a reader that doesn’t really vibe with Yeji gp but their ask never had any implication that I should be writing something different. It was a nice little interaction with someone who sees things different from me but still appreciates my work.
Sorry this is so long lmao I wanted to try to be as clear with my thoughts and give as much grace as possible because I'll be honest seeing someone call me and my friends rude for sharing frustration over something that we go through way too often has pissed me tf off. That wasn't your intention so you don’t deserve my ire but like I said I'm not going to hide my feelings about this sort of thing.

Hi Jan!! Please read this when you’re ready! And if you have anything to say, I’d be pleased and thankful to see!!
I’m so very sorry to be asking such a random and not so common question… (especially at a time when you’re going through something rough… my condolences to you and your grandma/grandpa, they’re very strong alongside you. For doing their best trying to stay strong possibly with you by their side…) I was just wondering if you have maybe a view or opinion on people adding (I’m not sure if people changing the skin tone of others is bad? Something they don’t need to do? Although I’d never do that myself regardless of the reason…) a race (most likely their fan version of them) to a character that I can perhaps learn from? I'm still quite puzzled about the concept of myself and yeah, I wouldn't necessarily want to do that personally to anyone but I still want to understand if it's wrong to be doing or if it doesn't matter and I should be neutral on it. It seems harmless and supportive (in a way, not just in the DR fandom. Although yeah, I don’t see it a lot as I’ve come across/ seen a user recently (no offense/ Im not trying to be rude or anything!!!) who had their pfp of Ibuki (coincidentally!! My forever love but) but balsian (sprite edit). Now, I’m not at all against it and I thought she still looked very beautiful but, is that okay to be doing is my question? I won’t be doing it still even if it is okay as I’m not interested in doing such personally (I Love characters just the way they are simply put!! So I don’t feel the needed/ want to be doing something like that. And as I’ve seen, some people who do that too them do love them originally as well!) but, I feel out of place with my viewpoint as I don’t even view it necessarily in a bad way…
I’m also so very sorry if you could barely read/ understand my grammar as I don’t have good/ barely decent grammar right now… (I am also going anon for this as I am afraid of being bombarded with ask harassing me, possibly but, you probably might know who I am based on my grammar and damn behavior regardless.)
Hi! I appreciate the consideration, and I absolutely don't mind receiving asks about different fandom related topics right now, as it might even be helpful to take my mind off things sometimes. Of course, this is a long question about a complex topic, so the main reason I have to answer it right now is that otherwise I'll... forget... ... but generally speaking, don't worry about it. If I had to talk about my personal life instead, right now, we'd be there a while OTL
I'm not sure I can give you a satisfying answer, however. I think it's a step in the right direction to ask about it sincerely, and take into consideration other people's appreciations of things you don't relate to. It's important to note, though, that I am Very White, and as such I can't possibly have all, or the best answers. All I can try is to be an ally to the communities impacted by this or that topic by pointing out elements I've been made aware of.
The first thing I'll have to point out is that the awkward phrasing of this question here would be good to rework for your future consideration of the topic:
I was just wondering if you have maybe a view or opinion on people adding a race to a character that I can perhaps learn from?
Though I'm not in the best position to comment on how the word "race" should be used exactly as a non-native English speaker, this strikes me as odd as it implies that people are giving characters a race... because they didn't have one before? I thought from this that maybe your ask would be about Fantasy, but you mentioned Danganronpa, so I think you rather meant "change" or "swap" their races (at least those are the terms I've seen in use).
Unfortunately, this is a little tricky, and I haven't come across a straightforward answer, neither am I in a position to pick one. The characters from Danganronpa, save for a few obvious exceptions (Sonia Nevermind comes to mind) are Japanese. This means that they are not white. For that reason, I have seen Japanese fans mention that they don't appreciate that Japanese characters are being changed by fans in this manner, because they feel as though their ethnicity is being forgotten even by people trying to uplift people of color (poc). This is something with, yet again, a complex answer, as there are indeed fans who conveniently forget the Danganronpa cast isn't white, but there are also fans who do know, respect it, but are choosing to represent the Blasian community with their headcanons. There is also an argument to be made that this is Japanese media, so the majority in this instance is Japanese, and believe it or not, racism also exists in Japan - something I really can't speak on because I have no close experience with any aspect of it.
There are possible other debates to be had about characters with darker skin, who are sometimes read by Western audiences as being black, from ignorance of the fact that there are Japanese (and generally Asian) people who look like this in different regions. But this is again not black and white (ha) as there are very much Blasian communities, who get largely ignored as well - Danganronpa makes very little effort to clarify its characters' origins, so there's not always a reason to confirm either party is right or wrong. (This is of course not mentioning the actual racism exhibited in Danganronpa, which other users can explain much better than I can.) Either way, since you mentioned Ibuki, who has pale skin in canon, this isn't exactly what you were talking about.
tl;dr: like I already said, I'm not in a position to make an accurate judgement. My observations are that it's common, fairly well accepted, and is oftentimes done by reasonable parties. It's important to note that the answer would be completely different if these characters were white in canon; no one is being erased by "raceswapping" in those instances, because white people are privileged and overrepresented. (It goes without saying that the all-too common practice of making a black character white is extremely racist.) Of course, if any of these headcanons/AUs doesn't speak to you, the best thing to do is to scroll past it; regardless of your reason - maybe you see yourself in this character, maybe their design seems accurate to a group they already belong to to you, anything - headcanons, AUs, fanfics and the like are meant to entertain and no one is forced to engage with or enjoy them.

i appreciate you being so open, especially when you really didn't have to? like, i'm always wary of anons who ask questions about complicated subjects like sexuality etc., because people tend to...jump to conclusions sometimes.
i remember had someone (another anon) question my sexuality because at the time i was identifying as straight but also openly lusting after female characters on my acct (not as much as male characters, but still), and it just...felt off to me? especially because at the time i was learning a *lot* about myself and hadn't fully come to terms with what i "was" - or rather, what i "am". that's a whole other story about self-discovery that i'm still doing and undertaking.
labels are constricting, and they always leave room for "oh, you're not ____ enough to be ____" which is distressing for someone trying to figire things out. so i like to always say, "i'm somewhere on the spectrum of ____" because it feels the most accurate. sexuality and sexual expression are fluid, so that's how i handle things to make it easier.
this was completely unprompted and i am SO sorry! i just wanted to reach out to you as a form of...encouragement? i don't think that's the word though- ahsjsbais
anyway! you always have a way of handling things with grace, and that's so, so admirable of you! 💖
btw, mini-rant: it feels weird saying "thank you" in a context like this, because it's my first instinct? but why? why is English like this? why isn't there a phrase for "hey what you just did was well-cool, how amazing of you" instead of just "awesome" or something, because that also doesn't seem right? ah, whatevs. /rant
lily beloved thank you so so much for this message <3
i want to stress that the anon who sent the ask earlier yesterday was not being rude, although i have gotten quite a few messages from other anons about my sexuality that have without a doubt been rude rip.
sexuality is just. a lot. and so confusing and it sometimes does feel like on here im trying to figure it out in front of an audience which just doesn't help at all which is why i took lesbian out of my bio and didn't replace it with anything bc i'd rather figure it out a little quieter lol
thank you for this lily, it was was so sweet and genuinely comforting <3
