Gregg is playing this video game called Control, and i can't tell you how pleasantly surprised i was to see the game has a character with a cleft lip who isn't a violent inbred subhuman monster.
cleft lip/cleft palate runs in my family, and one of my really good friends also has a cleft lip. all of us bond over our love of science fiction/horror, but at the same time, those are the genres you most commonly see this trope. it's really fucking bleak and hurtful, and i wish it would die. it never even occured to me that people see my loved ones this way until i was a teen and started watching more movies and was like "uhhh what the fuck?" because it's such a common thing in this area it barely gets commented on.
anyway, always makes my day the rare occasion i see good rep.

Nimona (2023 Movie) - Ballister/Ambrosius - Cleft Awareness Month Prompt 8 : Hearing Problems
Prompt : Write a fic (can be fluff, hurt/comfort, whatever the author sees fit) where a character has a cleft palate (lip is optional) and their hearing isn't great because of it (can range from just slightly poor hearing to severe hearing loss/issues). Headcanon : Ballister has a cleft lip and palate
"Bal?" Ambrosius said, catching the other man's attention.
"Hm?"
"I asked what you wanted to get for dinner" Ambrosius said patiently.
"I didn't hear you, sorry" Ballister said with a small frown. His hearing had been getting worse recently.
To be fair, it had never been great. Due to his cleft, he'd gotten a lot of ear infections when he was young, and it had led to gradual hearing loss. Even with all the high-end medical treatment he had access to once the Queen had taken him under her wing, the infections and subsequent hearing loss didn't just go away until they'd taken the next step and put tubes in his ears but, by then, the damage had already been done.
Plus, he was getting older now. He wasn't elderly by any means but, his aging ears (which were often assaulted by the chaos of his life), combined with the wear and tear from the ailments of his childhood... Yeah, it certainly added up.
"That's alright. You don't need to apologize" Ambrosius replied with a warm smile, pulling him back to the present. "So... Dinner?"
"Nimona likes pizza" he said almost instinctually. Ambrosius chuckled, but Ballister only returned it halfway, and that's when he clued in that something was wrong.
"You wanna talk about whatever's bugging you?" he asked as he opened up the delivery website on his phone and begin inputting the family's usual order, making sure to get a bit extra for Nimona, since she was out playing with the local kids and tended to be especially hungry after a long day of chaos.
"It's just... My hearing's been getting worse" Ballister sighed. Ambrosius looked up at him with concern.
"Do we need to take you to the doctor?"
"It's nothing serious" Ballister assured him. "It's just aging and... You remember how I got ear infections all the time when we were kids?"
"How could I forget?"
"That also had worn down on my ears a fair bit" he explained. "I guess it's just all finally catching up to me"
"Okay" Ambrosius nodded. "Thank you for telling me"
"Of course" Ballister replied with a crooked smile. "No pineapple on the pizza" he said suddenly, glancing at the screen. "Nimona won't eat it"
Ambrosius just laughed and unchecked the 'Pineapple' option.

I bought Balls and Gay 3 like a week ago, blacked out, and now I have like three (3) different comic ideas and a vampire boyfriend.
Anyways this is my tav Corvus, lvl 4 human wizard. They were in the middle of their apprenticeship when they were kidnapped onto the nautiloid ship. They’re pretty much just me but a little to the left, so they’re 5ft tall and weigh as much as a kitten wearing a top hat but BY GOD they’ve got spirit ok!? And also apparently they’ve become the de facto leader of this band of much older much more capable warriors?????Somehow???? (No pressure hehehehe fuck). I had fun giving them a cleft lip inspired by the lip scar option in the character creator. I’ve never drawn any cleft lips before though, so if anyone has any advice I’d love some critique!
As I’m typing this I’m learning that BG3 won big at the game awards, so holy shit!!! Congrats to Larian and everyone involved in this amazing game! I’m enjoying it so much and I’m like only a little ways into act 1 <3

did not realize there was a community for this, but this is the internet i should've known
hi i was born with a cleft soft and hard palate, i didn't have a cleft lip or anything else (still tagging this because i wanna reach anyone who understands), my mom told me that i also have the thing where you have a really small chin combined with a cleft palate but i don't remember the name of the condition
i've like literally never been able to talk to anyone else who's had one and i mean my friends all know about it and i love them, but like they don't fully understand bc they haven't experienced it, you know how it is
but uh yeah i've always felt really weird labeling myself as like disabled or anything like that because i've always felt like my cleft palate wasn't enough but honestly my entire life has kinda revolved around it so i feel like i should
here's the part where i'm going to dump in a list all of my super specific experiences in hopes that someone will relate because i am so serious when i say that i've never talked to someone who relates before:
tw: idk medical stuff, ed mentioned (arfid specifically), mildly graphic i guess (just complaining about medical stuff i've had to deal with)
i've had 11 surgeries (feeding tube, adenoids removed, palate repairs, and ear tubes)
i have this sick as fuck second belly button and honestly sometimes i forget that most people only have one and i have to do a double take when i see other people's boring abdomens
i have a list of foods that i cannot eat because they taste like general anesthesia (including but not limited to: whoppers, onion rings, cranberry juice, blue candy hearts, and wintergreen life savers)
i was diagnosed with arfid recently, but i've had it my entire life because i had a feeding tube for the first year of my life and so i just cannot handle most food textures
i have really bad social skills and low self-esteem because i got bullied when i was younger because people couldn't understand me because my voice was really weird, this got better with surgeries but it didn't fix my lack of social skills
I HATED SPEECH THERAPY, like 14 years of it did not make s sounds easier to pronounce
i need hearing aids but i can't get them because i have holes in my ears and extreme drainage, but the holes are good because they allow my ears to drain but the fact that there's drainage is still bad and ahhhhhh
i'm 19 but i still have to go back and forth between the children's hospital and the regular one when it comes to palate stuff and it's honestly annoying sometimes (everyone's nice though so it's fine)
eating is awful because nose stuff i don't want to go into detail but iykyk (don't make me laugh while eating)
i don't have a uvula and when people find out, it's suddenly the most interesting fact they know about me and i don't get it
not even i know my full medical history it is so incredibly complex
i have a collection of my wristbands
the worst fucking thing in the world was the stupid nasal endoscopy, like early covid brain-poking tests were fucking nothing compared to that stupid camera going up my nose
mouth breathing
i have random vocal/breathing tics (i guess tic is the right term?) and they are annoying but yeah
every goddamn time i went to the orthodontist, he would always say every FUCKING TIME "don't let your mom tell you that you have a big mouth because i'm here to tell you otherwise" LIKE I GET IT
when i got my teeth pulled, the laughing gas didn't work because 1.) that shit's so weak and 2.) i had to breathe it in through my nose exclusively (mouth breathing point), but they didn't believe me and went along with the procedure anyway and after experiencing that, hell has nothing on me
my role model growing up was lentil bean, the cleft palate dog
the only piece of media i ever related to was Wonder, but even that one contributed to me feeling like i hadn't gone through enough to consider my cleft palate a big deal
i am a musician (singer and percussionist) but i can't breathe, hear, or speak properly and so i bet you can imagine how hellish that is
i had to quit dance when i was younger because i kept missing entire seasons because of my surgeries (since recovery was like 4 weeks sometimes) and i really wish that i didn't have to
ok yeah that's all i can think of please someone relate to me god please

I am a cleftie myself and I’m always super happy to see actors with visible clefts/cleft scars. If you tell me that a show contains a character with a cleft who isn’t meant to be a freak or a monster, then you have essentially guaranteed that I will watch it.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Books) - Percy & Sally - Cleft Awareness Month Prompt 22 : Parent
Prompt : Write a fic from the perspective (this doesn't necessarily mean first-person POV but it can be that if you want) of a parent whose kid/teen/adult has a cleft lip and/or palate Headcanon : Percy has a cleft lip and palate
Sally knew before Percy was even born that the kid was going to have a hard time.
After all, he was a demigod. Poseidon had warned her about a lot of the problems he'd have- Bad luck, learning disabilities, attracting monsters. She accepted it all upfront. Plenty of kids had learning disabilities and, the other stuff? Well, they would deal with it when it came up.
What she hadn't been prepared for was a craniofacial deformity.
Percy was born with a cleft lip and palate, which she didn't know until the moment he was born and the doctors informed her. She was caught off guard, as Poseidon hadn't told her about this (he didn't know), but she loved her son no matter what, and she quickly began working double the amount to pay for his surgeries and speech therapy.
He was bullied in school, of course, and it hurt to see him come home from school crying so often because, on top of constantly getting in trouble for his attention issues or slowness or magical situations he had no real control over, the worst of his classmates teased and bullied him for his scarred lip and slight speech impediment.
It hurt, seeing her son wishing he was born looking normal or crying because a kid in his class said he was ugly and now he couldn't get that thought out of his head. She knew that he'd eventually probably need to go to Camp Half-Blood for safety reasons and she knew he'd likely find more acceptance there but, in the meantime, she was forced to watch her kid struggle because of something beyond his control.
"Those kids don't know what they're talking about" she told him after one particularly bad day at school. "You're not ugly. They're just insecure about how they look, so they're taking it out on you. And, you wanna know something?"
"What?" Percy asked, his voice wet from tears.
"I think you look better than all of them combined" she told him with a warm smile. That seemingly worked, as the boy broke out into a fit of giggles.
"You're so cheesy, mom"
"Better cheesy than a bully"
"I love you"
"I love you too, son"
