Read on Ao3
Summary: Hoping to score a dinner date, Sawyer approaches Jesinia after weeks of practicing sign language with his squadmates.
AN: Obviously we haven’t been given any details on handshape, orientation, or NMMs in Navarrian Sign Language, so for the purposes of the fic the signing error Sawyer makes is realistic to ASL. I don’t know any sign languages for other countries, so if this mistake is totally unrealistic in BSL, FSL, etc, I’m unfamiliar with the language.
In this work I mention Sawyer has a name sign. For readers who don't know much about ASL, a name sign is a sign created by a Deaf individual and given to a friend, coworker, aquaintance, etc. and a shorthand to avoid fingerspelling someone's full name. It is usually based around a trait in one's physical appearance or personality and can only be given by a member of the Deaf community. To make things simple, I designed Sawyer's name sign around the flicking movement for the word metal (signet), replacing the X handshape with an S handshape to tie in his first initial.
Anywhoville, enjoy!
He was just asking her out to dinner, nothing more. And if she said no... He would probably never show his face among the Aretian scribes again.
"Don't you think that's a bit dramatic, Sawyer?"  Sliseag grumbled. "The girl is passive, her companions more so. A failed romantic pursuit would not be the end of your welcome, I'm certain."
"I would not call a woman willing to commit treason on the vague word of a friend passive, Sliseag," he snipped back.
"Then this exile from scribe territory would be a self-inflicted act of cowardice? That is not a trait I chose you for, boy."
He rolled his eyes at the exaggerated remark. Exile was a rather heavy term for his potential predicament, but he wasn't about to argue semantics with a dragon. "This must be the arrogant shit Violet grumbles about when it comes to Tairn."
Hearing a scuffing sound against the stone floor, he threw his shield in place, cutting off his dragon's next quip as Jesinia stepped into view. "Good afternoon, Sawyer," she greeted him, utilizing the sign name she'd given him a few weeks after meeting. It was blunt, as most of the language was prone to be, playing off of the sign for metal thanks to his signet, though the X handshape was replaced by an S to link in his name. Her hand lingered below her chin, fingers slowly uncurling from the loose fist the sign created. Her brow furrowed slightly as she looked over his shoulder, likely noting he was unaccompanied for once. Ridoc of all people had been the one to point out that for all Sawyer's visits here and his interest in learning to sign, he'd yet to drop by without a wingman. "Are you stopping in for Violet? I sent her a missive about a translation aid I stumbled upon." 
"No. Not today. Though I'm happy to take something back, if need be. I wanted to talk to you about something outside of rider business. If you have a moment."
Brushing her dark hair back, she dipped her chin in a short nod, gesturing for him to join her at the nearest table. "Is everything alright. You seem a bit nervous."
"Nervous? No. It's just that my signing is..." He paused, trying to recall the sign for rudimentary—a word that didn't necessarily exist in NSL. "...basic," he finished, his dominant hand circling a few inches below his left. "One of my squadmates is normally here to help." Jesinia cocked her head slightly, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "So, I'm a little nervous. Not only about signing something wrong. Let me be more direct. I was hoping to take you to dinner."
Her eyes flared wide at that, and not just due to surprise at the request. Something went wrong in his request. "To eat," he tried to repair the miscommunication, whatever it had been.
Understanding seemed to dawn and it was clear she was trying to hide her amusement. "Dinner?" she asked, first fingerspelling, then double-tapping a D hand against her mouth, palm turned inward. He nodded in confirmation. Pausing a moment, she kept the D shape, bouncing it from her chin to the back of her jaw. "That sign is dorm."
He winced. "Now I look like an ass."
"You look like a man trying to learn a new means of communication. I have great appreciation for that effort. Learning languages beyond childhood can be difficult." She smiled again. "And I would love to go to dinner with you, Sawyer."
He grinned right back. "Are you free tonight?"
~~~~~
End Note: If I have any d/Deaf, hard of hearing, or CODA readers who think I could better structure this fic regarding signing elements and word choice, please know that you are more than welcome to reach out. I always appreciate polite feedback on my work and want to do everything I can to encourage representation in my writing. I am not fluent, so I know this might not be perfect. All I ask is that comments remain respectful in their correction.

2022 Drama Year in Review
I enjoyed doing a year in review last year and wanted to do it again. I watched significantly fewer Asian dramas this year with 29 completed and 24 dropped compared to 75 total dramas (completed and dropped) in 2021. Some of these started in 2021 and finished in 2022 so they are on both lists.
You can find my full watch list on MDL here. Recap below the cut.
This was a busy year. I've been going to night school for my MBA on top of having a full time job and family. I've also been trying to balance what I do enjoy so I've been watching non-Asian series (The Wheel of Time, Warrior Nun, Willow, etc.), reading (I just finished The Lost Dreamer and currently am reading the Locked Tomb Trilogy), and gaming (I finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn and replayed the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series) this year to balance the time spent on watching dramas. Come on over to see me at @snkrfnd if you want to talk about any of those things!
Tumblr media
I'm terrible at lists, but here are prob my favorite dramas that I watched this year (some were released in previous years). Strangely, there are no dramas from Vietnam or the Philippines this year.
Love Between Fairy and Devil - now one of my favorite cdramas of all time. Too many reasons why this is at the top of my list
The King's Affection (I had to put it on pause last year because I was losing my mind whenever Park Eun Bin was on screen and finally finished it this year. Phenomenal. How did Kim Rowoon and Nam Yoon Soo hold it together when acting with her?)
Bad Buddy (Started in 2021, finished in 2022. Just excellent! I think this changes the game for Thai dramas.)
Alchemy of Souls Part 1 -everything I love about fusion sageuks
Tomorrow - everything I love about urban fantasy dramas plus it was so incredibly pro-woman I was really astounded it came out when there's politically such a backlash against feminism in S. Korea right now. Everyone in the drama gets 2 gold stars from me just for being involved in the project
Secret Crush on You - It has hands down the best friend group to ever appear on screen. It reminds me of my own friend group in highschool 20+ years ago! Loved the drama from the POV of the characters that are normally used for punching-down humor. Nerds need love too!
Semantic Error - Everything a KBL should be. It was still authentically a kdrama with the usual tropes. It didn't have to sacrifice what makes a kdrama great to make it BL. I find it so hilarious that DKZ exploded their album sales as a result. Maybe if the industry sees the profits, we'll get more quality lgbtq dramas. (On a side note, I watched the movie and swore they did something in post-production because the coloring was different and it was just because I'd seen too many high quality gifsets with talented content creators that are good at coloring and lighting. HAHAHAHA the movie suffered in comparison to the great production value of the gifsets I've been seeing this year.)
Glitch - the gayest thing I watched all year (affectionate). Aliens, cults, and government conspiracies are for the sapphics now, I'm sorry.
Girlfriend Project Day 1 (they announced a 2nd season!!) I don't know how they pulled off such great, sweet chemistry from such a short webdrama. I'm subscribed to their YT channel now in the hopes of more great GL content.
Roommates of Poongduck 304 - imagine what they could do with a full budget and network support!!!! Amazing they could pull off this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity/and-they-were-roommates, office romcom (and I HATE boss/employee relationships).
Honorable Mentions in no particular order:
All of Us are Dead - the women needed more to do, otherwise this would be higher in my list. Yoon Chan Young blew me away with his acting. You can always tell who started out as a child star.
Ms. Cupid in Love - a good all-rounder cdrama where the writing for the women didn't make me want to pull my hair out
Gaus Electronics - love Kwak Dong Yeon being pathetic and Aziz stole the show. This was the funniest drama I watched all year. I really should have put it in my top 10, but now I'm too lazy to cut and paste.
Alchemy of Souls Part 2 still in progress and loving it for the same reasons I loved part 1 (the idol actors are still weak tho)
GAP the Series - ongoing, but I'm loving it. I hope this ranks high on my 2023 list. I am not used to seeing writers and directors letting women act like they want to bone. I'm so used to the entertainment industry sanitizing wlw relationships. Thank you Saint Suppapong and IdolFactory!!
My School President - unrequited love that's actually mutual pining? The misunderstanding is that the person you thought hated you actually supports you? Sign me tf up! Good acting to boot. Please don't let me down!
Never Let Me Go - Did you see Ms Thanya standing next to the evil uncle???? The way she towered over him? Whew! Time to look up her back catalog. I love an intimidating woman.

🎬 bellarke + "you think the world is ending and i’ve decided to live everyday like it’s my last and now we’re just crossing things off our bucket lists” (no tomorrow)
Thank you for this amazing request! I admit this one kind of got out of hand and I could totally see myself writing this out as a multi-chaptered fic at one point (not now though lol) Anyways, I’m sorry if there are any errors. I did do a spell check but it’s not beta’d. This is just pure Modern AU fluff, enjoy! :) also i have only seen 30 minutes of No Tomorrow’s pilot so it’s probs not like it
Clarke Griffin knew the world was ending. She just couldn’t explain it.Well, she could actually but whenever she went into the details of City of Light, and space miners and the nuclear death wave, also known as “Primfaya” people looked at her like she was saying “The world will end in 2012 because Mayans said so”. So she gave up on explaining. She just knew. And she struggled with that knowledge for a while. She was a pre-med student with great research skills and rich enough parents to put her through a well known research school and nothing more. The night she put all the pieces together was the worst night of her life. The world was ending in approximately 8 months and 4 days. Her first instinct was to save everyone. At the very least, to tell people and she started with her best friend but Raven just laughed. Again, Clarke was just a pre-med student who had read too many articles and accidentally stumbled upon some classified documents and now she knew all about hypersleep and plans to colonize the space and Bill Cadogan.
Well, that was roughly 4 months ago.
Clarke, being a pretty rational person, had told herself that she would try to convince people for 4 months and after that, she was on her own. She didn’t know what that meant exactly but she wasn’t going to waste the rest of her life trying to convince people she was right. She looked at the calender above her desk, the date was circled in red marker and she had scribbled: “Figure out what to do with the rest.”. She meant, the rest of her life. Literally.She didn’t know yet what she was going to do with “the rest of her life” but she knew she had to go to the hospital to see Bellamy. He had been in a traumatic car accident two months ago and he was being released today. They had been friends since her freshman year, so for 2 and a half years now and while they weren’t the closest, they shared an inexplicable bond. But there was a simpler reason for why she was the one that had to pick him up from the hospital, his sister was busy. When she got to his hospital room, Bellamy was sitting in a wheel chair.“Bellamy, you okay?” She asked, failing to mask her concern. She expected to see him up on his feet.
“Yeah, it’s just protocol. They’re wheeling me out of the hospital, I can walk with crutches just fine.” He shrugged lightly. There was a microscopic smile on his face, he couldn’t help but feel special whenever she worried about him.
Clarke sighed with relief in response,
“Okay, good. Are you done with all the paper work?”
“I am. Let’s go.”
“Can you pull over here?” Bellamy asked casually. Even though it was a strange request, seeing as they were in the middle of nowhere with just a small gas station near, Clarke pulled over.
“We’re fine on the gas, Bell.” She looked down to double check it.
“Yeah, I know. I just want to grab something real quick.” He grabbed his crutches and slid out the front seat.
Clarke should have followed him but being alone with him after two months of only seeing him for 15 minutes and never alone was overwhelming. She could use a break. She had forgotten how drawn to him she felt and how the air seemed to thicken whenever they were alone. Just before he got into the accident, she had told him about her discovery and they had a huge fight. Of course, seeing him in the ICU, half concious, made Clarke forget all about him calling her “crazy” and her calling him “irresponsibly stubborn”. It was difficult to explain that to her friends, of course. Raven for one could not understand why Clarke cared so much about what Bellamy thought and how she could seem to forgive him instantly. Clarke had acknowledged that she had been attracted to Bellamy from day one but she repressed her feelings for so long (because she had a boyfriend at thetime and he was straight up unpleasant to her) that once they had resurfaced, it was way beyond being a “crush”. She was in this limbo of having feelings for Bellamy that were too deep to be a crush and too platonic to be love. No one seemed to understand that. She sometimes thought maybe Bellamy knew. She pushed those thoughts away.
“Bellamy should be back by now” she murmured to herself as she leaned to look out the car window, after 15 minutes of waiting for him in the car.
Worried that he might have fallen down or hurt himself somehow, she got out of the car and walked towards the gas station. Right as she was about to enter it, she saw his silloute by a tree near the back of the building.“Bellamy!” she yelled out and walked towards him “Where the hell have you been?”
“Relax, princess, I cracked a window open, didn’t I?” Bellamy’s witty comment could not distract Clarke from the cigaratte he was holding between his fingers.
“What the hell, Bellamy?!” She launched herself at him to grab the lit cigarette from his hands but he put his hands higher so she couldn’t reach.
“I’ve always wanted to try one.” He said somewhat nonchalant.
“And?” Clarke asked bewildered.
“They’re horrible.” He coughed, the tobbaco residue in his throat still bothering him. He put the cigarette out and they walked back to the car in silence.
Clarke threw her car keys on his kitchen counter, her thoughts about “what to do with her life” creeping back into her mind. She looked at the clock hanging above his couch, it was almost afternoon. Great, she thought to herself, another day closer to Primfaya.
“Clarke…” The familiar hoarse voice pulled her back from her thoughts. Bellamy was sitting on the couch, gesturing her to join him.
“There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
With a concerned look on her face, she sat next to him. Without her encouragement, he went on with what sounded like a speech he had prepared a while ago.
“I almost died. Clarke, I almost died and I can’t –“ He shook his head, “I can’t keep living the way I have been living.”
Clarke looked down to her hands, biting her words, trying her best not to say, Yeah, Bell, it’s not just you. None of us can keep living the way we’ve been living.
“And I’m sorry I called you crazy when you said the world was ending.” He sounded sincere but still unconvinced.
“The world is ending, Bellamy. 120 days left.” Clarke interrupted him.
He sighed and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
“The world is ending for all of us everyday, Clarke.”
“Yes, that’s what I’ve been—“
“No, no. What I’m saying is, we’re all dying every second we’re alive anyway. You don’t need a dooming apocalypse to remind you to live.” The was he emphasized the last word draw Clarke in. That’s what’s been missing from her life, “living”. She had “researched” and “planned” and “hoped” for so long, when instead she should have lived. Her eyes shined as an idea formed in her mind.
“So, we make a ‘bucket list’.” Clarke asserted.
“No, that’s against the whole point. The minute you put these on a list, they’ll become tasks.” Bellamy shook his head in disagreement.
“So what do we do? Just wake up and do what we always do?” Clarke sounded disappointent, she hadn’t realized how appealing this ‘doing what we’ve always wanted to do’ idea was actually.
“We do whatever the hell we want.” A smug smile appeared on his lips.
“Whatever the hell we want?” Clarke asked lifting an eyebrow.
“Whatever the hell we want.”
She texted him that night when she couldn’t sleep, his words haunting her.
Clarke: What if making a bucket list is something I’ve always wanted to do??Read, 2:08 AM.
It took Bellamy nearly 30 seconds to reply.
Bellamy: You can’t use semantics to make me plan spontanity, Griffin.Read, 2:09 AM.
Clarke chuckled at his response and put her phone away. For the first time in many nights, she didn’t toss and turn in her bed, her brain riddled with questions and worries. The lightness of just doing what you’ve always wanted to, even the thought of it as a valid option, made her feel at peace.
Next morning, when Clarke was fixing herself her usual breakfast, scrabbled eggs and toast, her phone buzzed.
Bellamy: So what’s the plan for today, Princess?Clarke: Ha ha, very funny Blake. No plans, remember?Bellamy: Yeah but you still need to do something with your day… What’s something you’ve always wanted to do?
Clarke sighed, she wasn’t sure this was the most responsible way to deal with mortality but she was so tired of being the responsible one all the time. A smile played on her lips as she pondered her response. Bellamy must have realized she was taking her time,
Bellamy: No thinking. Quick. What have you ALWAYS wanted to do?
Clarke: Have my art showcased in a gallery. I’ve always wanted my painting to be hung on a gallery wall, framed and everything.Read, 10:48 AM.
When Bellamy didn’t respond for two hours, she got discouraged. Had she said something stupid? Yeah, painting was just a hobby for her but was it so outrageous that she wanted something of hers that she poured her soul into to be feautured on a gallery wall where everyone could see? She made herself a cup of coffe and sat on her couch, her instincts screaming at her to continue her research, find a way to survive this. Find a bunker, or something. Her binder of rationing plans, her map of where the radiation would be the least severe, the book Second Dawn were scattered on her coffee table. She leaned down and grabbed a piece of paper. On top she scribbed, “Bucket List”. Bellamy was right, just writing the words down made her tense up in her shoulders. Her phone buzzed again.
Bellamy: Meet me at 42nd and Locust. In 15.
When Clarke got there, exacty 15 minutes after she got the text, she saw him waiting by a cute coffee shop with a mid-sized canvas tucked under his right arm.
“Hey!” She waved as she walked towards him. “What’s with the canvas?”
Bellamy showed the painting to her. It was one of hers.
“You kept it?” she asked in disbelief. Bellamy never mentioned her art much and when she had given him the painting as a house warming gift, he had curtly thanked her and she assumed it was too much.
“It’s a gift from you, of course I did.” He smiled. He suddenly grabbed her hand,
“There’s an exhibit I’ve been wanting to see, let’s go.”
He lead her to an underground art gallery. Clarke knew this one, it was a really hipster art gallery. The last stop before making it “big” for many artists.
“No…” she gasped. “Bellamy, no, not here.”
“Why not? It’s not like it’s MoMa or something.”
“Yeah but—“ Clarke gestured to all the art surrounding them “I’m not –“
“Relax, Clarke. I’ve got this.” He walked confidently towards the end of the corridor. He turned left onto a small nook.
“Ah, yes. It’ll go great here.” He sounded pleased with himself.
“Are we really doing this?” Clarke asked, her exciment shining through her eyes. “I mean, Alexander Piquet, that’s one of my favorites.” She gestured to the painting next to the empty wall space Bellamy was sizing for the canvas.
“Yes. We are. Just go be my look out.” Bellamy sounded exaspareted but she could tell he was having a good time too. It was strange for Clarke to see him so lighthearted, he was usually always worrying over his little sister.
“What’s taking so long?” She looked at him over her shoulder. He was trying to balance himself on one leg as he used two of his hands to stick a piece of paper on the wall under the canvas.
“You wrote a description?” She asked in a hushed tone but amused.
“Of course, it’s gotta blend in, right?” Bellamy looked up at her. “It’s hard to do this with a broken leg, though.”
Clarke walked over to him and gently placed her hands on his waist, to help him stay balanced. When they were done hanging the framed canvas on the wall, Bellamy took a step back and looked at her.
“There’s a guided tour in 40 minutes, you in?”
Clarke laughed at the thought of her painting being featured on a tour. That she could not miss.
“I cannot believe, the tour guide just improvised.” Clarke kept chuckling at the memory of the baffled tour guide when he got to her painting. She was driving Bellamy home but she was so amped up on adrenaline that she couldn’t stop smiling.
“He was going to ignore it, go past it at first but –“ Bellamy was almost as giddy as she was.
“Yeah, you asked him stupid questions he couldn’t ignore.” Clarke slowly pulled up at his house.
“Well, I paid good money for that tour and I’m getting every pennies’ worth.”
Clarke tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled.
“I had fun. Thank you for today.”
“So did I.” He smiled back and manuvered to get out of her car.
“I want to do something you want to do tomorrow.” She blurted out. After a day like this, going back to her doomsday plans seemed so boring.
“Gun range, 2 pm. I’ll pick you up.” Bellamy winked.
“No, I’ll pick you up.” She gestured to his broken leg.
“Oh, right. You pick me up.” He lightly touched her shoulder, “Get some rest, “rising artist Griffin”, tomorrow’s going to be a long one.”
And it was. But not in a bad way. Days with Bellamy were never long in a bad way. He was so excited to be at a gun range. His eyes shinning with a sense of glee Clarke had never recognized in Bellamy before. At first, Clarke only watched him with her ear muffs and protective glasses on.
“Come on, Clarke!” He kept asking for her to join in on the fun. Clarke had never pictured herself with guns before.
“No, I’ll just watch.” She kept refusing, besides she was having more fun watching Bellamy beam at the guns and fist bump the air every time he hit his mark.
After a good 45 minutes, Bellamy put the gun down and turned to face her.
“Are you just afraid you’re going to suck at it?” He was making that thing where he slightly crooked his head and smiled at her with the corner of his lips.
She suddenly found herself flustered. Blood rushing to her cheeks, she crossed her arms in front of her and tried to match his smug tone.
“No, I’m just not a “gun girl”, you know?”
He must not have bought her response because he just gazed at her with his smile fixed on his lips.
“C’mon! I’ll show you.” He insisted.
“You know what? Fine. I can be a bit of a ‘badass’.” She walked towards the shooting point.
He chuckled at her response.
“There you go! Alright.” He sounded excited. He cleared his throat and proceeded to show her how she should hold the gun. Placing her index finger on the trigger, adjusting her posture. He gently placed his hand on her elbow and she swore she could feel her heartbeat getting faster.
“And now, shoot.” He spoke softly to her ear and slowly stepped away.
She pulled the trigger and stubbled a little after the gun fired. She couldn’t help the laughter escaping her lips.
“Is it bad that, that felt good?” she asked incredulous.
“No, just adrenalin.” He shook his head and encourged her to take another shot.
Two weeks went by like this. It was either her or him texting the other with spur of the moment “plans” to fill their days and check things off from their “not written out” bucket list. Clarke still worried though. She tried her best to hide away her doomsday plans but her calender still haunted her. She was also afraid that Bellamy would realize this wasn’t a sustainable way to live. Clarke didn’t mind as much, because she knew the world would be swallowed up in a nuclear wave pretty soon but he was just doing this because he didn’t want to be 70 and never have been to a firework show. She knew they wouldn’t make it to 70, which made everything they did bitter sweet. Some days were more bitter than sweet though. Like the day Bellamy texted her out of the blue with just one word.
Bellamy: Pie.Read, 3:16 PM
Clarke: Okay?Bellamy: Apple pie. I really want apple pie today.Bellamy: No, I want to find the BEST apple pie in the city.Clarke: Let me get this straight, you want to go bakery hopping?Bellamy: I’ll be there in 20. Wear your sweatpants.
So they went bakery hopping. The first few they just went into bakeries and tried their apple pies like normal customers but after the 4th one, eating apple pie and writing down notes weren’t as fun anymore so Clarke started making up stories. To her utter pleasure, Bellamy followed her lead. At one, they were shopping for a friend’s surprise birthday who hated cake, the other they were looking for catering for a dog contest with the theme “Fall”, another they pretended to be an engaged couple and Clarke tried to talk him out of having pie at their “wedding”. It was a fun, sugar crazed day over all so it caught Bellamy off guard when she started crying as they walked to her apartment. His leg was better and he was walking with a cane now.
“Clarke…” His was voice hoarse with thousand worries, he cupped her face and wiped away a stray tear from her cheek with his tumb. Clarke leaned into his touch.
“The world is ending, Bellamy.” Her voice cracked as she said his name.
“I know you believe that but –“ He took a step back.
“I can’t even convince you. I have the research, I have the maps. Primfaya is coming. We shouldn’t be doing whatever the hell we want, we should be trying to find a bunker, talk to the authorities.” She sounded so determined and focused.
“You don’t have to carry this on your shoulders Clarke. Even if you’re right, with only a few weeks left, there’s nothing you can do.”Clarke sighed.
“So what do we do now?”
“This.” He lift his hands up. “This is what we do now.”
Clarke looked at her feet and felt a rain drop land on her head.
“What’s something else you’ve always wanted to do?” As the words left his mouth, they heard a loud thunder. The rain started pouring down on them. Clarke laughed lifting her face up. She closed her eyes and let the rain wash over her for a second.
“As cheesy as it sounds, I’ve always –“ she started her sentence but she couldn’t get the words out. “Nevermind.” She shook her head. “Let’s go inside.” She started to walk towards her building’s door.
“No!” He gently pulled her back. “Tell me. Is it “Gene Kelly”ing?” he asked, teasing her.
She shook her head, mildly amused.
“No, I’ve always, oh this sounds so cheesy, I’ve always wanted to kiss under the rain.” Her words hung on air for a few seconds and before she could realize what was happening, she found Bellamy’s lips on hers. “This” made sense now. She pulled him closer to her, pressing their bodies together. He tightened his grip on her waist. When their lips parted after a while, Clarke’s lips burned with the urge to keep kissing his but he placed his forehead on hers, still holding onto her waist. His hands found their way to her hair.
“And I’ve always wanted to kiss you.”

Here’s Why Inclusive Web Design with SEO Wins 2020 via @kim_cre8pc
Inclusive web design with SEO creates new opportunities for digital marketers and web designers seeking a competitive edge.
Website conversions depend on how well webpages assist people with decision making starting from search queries. Your role as an SEO is making webpages appear in search engine results at the precise moment for the exact people requesting them. Advanced online marketing considers the webpage user experience to stick the landing, which takes them into the realm of web design. The fun is figuring out who those people are so you can target them in search engines and web design decisions. Most of the time businesses have a fairly good idea of who they are trying to sell products to and who might benefit from their services.
What are the pieces we may be missing?
Why is there a spike in website ADA accessibility lawsuits?
Why study neuroscience and human behavior, behavioral economics and how people sort, search, and filter information?
How can we apply hundreds of research studies to web design and marketing?
The People Layer of Search Engine Marketing
If you are an SEO professional, your primary directive is to make webpages rank high in search engines for specific search terms. This is not always an easy task if the webpages are not designed to the proper W3C standards or maintained properly, creating performance issues that search engines notice. What happens when a person clicks into well-ranked webpages? Holistic UX and SEO is the practice of optimizing the whole user experience rather than treating some of its parts. It has been around for nearly 20 years but not applied universally and inclusive design was even less heard of. The holistic approach includes:
Website accessibility.
Information architecture.
Human behavior.
Social media marketing.
Persuasive web design.
Content writing.
The parts that people can either see, listen to or interact with using a computer, mobile or assistive device contain opportunities tucked inside for search engine marketers to explore. What’s simmering behind understanding people as users, in addition to search engine bots, are page performance, browsers, operating systems, machine learning, and lots and lots of code of varying flavors. This exploratory road has no end – which is why SEO will never die. Digital marketers who play with conversions design and persuasive architecture wrestle it all into a small cell phone device experience. And then, if you want to be hip for 2020, you look for the people you forgot to target in your marketing strategies, such as those with disabilities or minor impairments that make searching or interaction with web sites difficult without some assistance or assistive software or device.
An Accessible Target Market
I know what you’re thinking. An SEO professional only needs to be concerned with getting pages ranked so that their clients generate revenue. What if you are not targeting everyone who is looking for your client’s website? People use computers in ways you may not have considered before. Not only that, everyone wants equal access to websites and tasks. For example, the ability to download a coupon should be the same for everyone. The experience of ordering pizza or having a shopping order placed online for home delivery should be available to everyone. A blind person wanting to book a service for a sighted friend should be able to do that with a screen reader without any barriers. An anxious person researching natural remedies requires a user experience that is calming and orderly.
Technology Creates Inclusiveness
Years of researching how people use computers, search for information and conduct online activities led to exciting advances in machine learning. Google’s massive algorithm advance to BERT is one example. So are voice-activated house lights, transcribing podcasts and adding closed captions to videos. We now know that font selections, color choices, when to use color, how to instruct cell phones to render pages, how to structure content on webpages for improved comprehension, and where to put links and calls to action are all factors to consider when designing webpages that will respond successfully to an accurate search query result.
Who needs us to care about these things?
Are they included in your business requirements?
Are your developers trained in how people with low vision or no computer mouse navigate webpages?
Do people ask questions the same way or do they choose words with different meanings based on their culture?
Remember, our job is to help people make decisions, whether this begins in a search engine or once they arrive on a webpage. We are unable to do either without truly understanding people and their online behavior habits. Unfortunately, companies forget many people. This is one of the reasons for ADA lawsuits but truly isn’t a new revelation. Traditionally businesses spend years testing and adapting to what they think their customers want. Inclusive design means that websites work for everyone.
Aristotle, the Blind Monster
What do these Sesame Street characters have in common?
Granny Bird
Forgetful Jones
Buster the Horse
Aristotle
Honkers
Dingers
Simon Soundman
Slimey the Worm
Each had a special need, disability, or impairment of some type. They are not popular or as memorable as Bert, Ernie, and Prairie Dawn. Aristotle was a blind monster character created by Sesame Street to increase awareness about the inclusiveness of people with disabilities. Slimey the Worm does not speak. Buster the Horse helped Forgetful Jones, the cowboy who always forgot things. The Honkers only communicated by honking, rather than words. If you study Sesame Street puppet characters, one of the interesting discoveries is that many of them had a friend who helped them with something such as battling a fear, trying to remember something, or communicating with others. In this subtle way, inclusion is taught.
Inclusive Design Embraces a Wider Target Market
Inclusive means that everyone gets a chance to be included, regardless of whether or not they have a disability, or a minor impairment that makes it difficult to do what others can do. When a company decides to build a website and advertise it after it launches, they absolutely must hire or train staff in inclusive design. The typical practice is for web designers and SEO professionals to create user personas and mental models to help their projects stay focused on who the intended target user is. Preferably these user personas are based on real people and tested with them in their natural environments, using their specific assistive technology. The benefits of a unified, holistic, inclusive approach consisting of SEO, usability, accessibility, information architecture and readable content are limitless.
Steps to Inclusive Design
A website that refuses to function for everyone becomes an easy target for social media shout outs, bad reviews for the brand and an ADA website lawsuit. Not every company agrees to invest in website accessibility testing or training for their developers, which sets them up with a disadvantage both from a potential legal situation to a branding one. A company that ignores the needs of users does so at their own risk. The prime directive, which is to help website visitors make good decisions while on your website, crumbles when support for them is removed.
Could they read your webpages on their mobile device?
What about mobile devices with accessibility settings turned on?
Were they able to understand what to do and where to go on your website while in an anxious state?
Could they see and understand your content?
Were your visitors able to use forms on any computer device, with or without a mouse pointer?
If you are doing competitive research, check other brands to see if there are comments from people who can’t use the website at all. The following are some suggestions for inclusive web design for SEO pros:
Avoid forcing visitors to call for customer service as the only method for contact. Provide alternatives, such as an accessible form or email contact.
Never make a phone call the only way to make contact if someone has a problem using your website. This requires them to disclose their disability, which is demeaning, and there may not be immediate help during off-hours. If your PDF forms are not accessible, it is discrimination to “make them call us and we can put it in the mail for them.”
When optimizing documents such as PDF, PowerPoint and Word documents, they must also be accessible. Adobe has an accessibility checker that walks you through errors and aids in remediation. An alternative to these documents, such as an HTML version, helps meet the WCAG2.1 standard.
Revisit the source code. Generic <div>, <span>, and <p> elements instead of semantic markup present issues for screen readers.
Revisit widgets and plugins to make sure they make sense to screen reader users. They must properly expose information about the names, roles, and values of components in accordance with ARIA techniques.
Do not change the wording to Contact Us, About Us and similar pages. Many screen reader users search the page for specific keywords or phrases to get to those pages quickly. Changing the wording to those pages makes it impossible for them to locate them.
Mind your headings. Start the main content of a webpage with a level 1 heading (<h1>), with no other headings before it. The sub-sections of the page should each be level 2 headings (<h2>) and sub-sections within them marked as level 3 (<h3>). Yes, there are exceptions. This is the recommended guideline.
Break up large amounts of content with sub-headings, bullet points, illustrative images (with alt attributes), shorter sentences and smaller paragraphs. Avoid distractions if you wish to help people remember what they read or because their ADHD or dyslexia responses just shot up to DEFCON 1 warnings.
For news or blog articles, include a simplified summary of the important points at the beginning of the story.
A person’s sensory abilities should not prevent or hinder receiving information. An easy example are hashtags. For phrases, capitalize the first letter of each word. Example: #BestDayEver
Inclusive design opens up a world of possibilities to reach an even greater target market. It goes beyond basic usability and persuasive design tactics. For developers, adding ARIA and making accessible JavaScript and mobile applications is a new playground. There are not enough accessibility QA trained people to meet the demand. Avoiding an accessibility ADA lawsuit is driving many companies to seek accessibility specialists. Many SEO consultants and agencies are adding additional services to include inclusive design and accessibility. This is not just to prevent the threat of a lawsuit but because their clients are investing in their branding and meeting today’s highly competitive marketing challenges. SEO and inclusive design provide great opportunities for you in 2020.

Building a WebRTC Video Chat Application with SimpleWebRTC
With the advent of WebRTC and the increasing capacity of browsers to handle peer-to-peer communications in real time, it’s easier than ever to build real-time applications. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at SimpleWebRTC and how it can make our lives easier when implementing WebRTC. Throughout the article, we’ll be building a WebRTC video chat app with messaging features.
If you need a bit of a background regarding WebRTC and peer-to-peer communication, I recommend reading The Dawn of WebRTC and Introduction to the getUserMedia API.
What is SimpleWebRTC
Before we move on, it’s important that we understand the main tool that we’ll be using. SimpleWebRTC is a JavaScript library that simplifies WebRTC peer-to-peer data, video, and audio calls.
SimpleWebRTC acts as a wrapper around the browser’s WebRTC implementation. As you might already know, browser vendors don’t exactly agree on a single way of implementing different features, which means that for every browser there’s a different implementation for WebRTC. As the developer, you’d have to write different code for every browser you plan to support. SimpleWebRT acts as the wrapper for that code. The API that it exposes is easy to use and understand, which makes it a really great candidate for implementing cross-browser WebRTC.
Building the WebRTC Video Chat App
Now it’s time to get our hands dirty by building the app. We’ll build a single page application that runs on top of an Express server.
Please note that you can download the code for this tutorial from our GitHub repo. To run it, or to follow along at home, you’ll need to have Node and npm installed. If you’re not familiar with these, or would like some help getting them installed, check out our previous tutorials:
Install Multiple Versions of Node.js using nvm
A Beginner’s Guide to npm — the Node Package Manager
You also need a PC or laptop that has a webcam. If not, you’ll need to get yourself a USB webcam that you can attach to the top of your monitor. You’ll probably need a friend or a second device to test remote connections.
Dependencies
We’ll be using the following dependencies to build our project:
SimpleWebRTC — the WebRTC library
Semantic UI CSS — an elegant CSS framework
jQuery — used for selecting elements on the page and event handling.
Handlebars — a JavaScript templating library, which we’ll use to generate HTML for the messages
Express — NodeJS server.
Project Setup
Go to your workspace and create a folder simplewebrtc-messenger. Open the folder in VSCode or your favorite editor and create the following files and folder structure:
simplewebrtc-messenger ├── public │ ├── images │ │ └── image.png │ ├── index.html │ └── js │ └── app.js ├── README.md └── server.js
Or, if you prefer, do the same via the command line:
mkdir -p simplewebrtc-messenger/public/{images,js} cd simplewebrtc-messenger touch public/js/app.js public/index.html .gitignore README.md server.js
Open README.md and copy the following content:
# Simple WebRTC Messenger A tutorial on building a WebRTC video chat app using SimpleWebRTC.
Add the line node_modules to the .gitignore file if you plan to use a git repository. Generate the package.json file using the following command:
npm init -y
You should get the following output:
{ "name": "simplewebrtc-messenger", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "A tutorial on building a WebRTC video chat app using SimpleWebRTC.", "main": "server.js", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", "start": "node server.js" }, "keywords": [], "author": "", "license": "ISC" }
Now let’s install our dependencies:
npm install express handlebars jquery semantic-ui-css simplewebrtc
As the installation proceeds, copy this code to server.js:
const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const port = 3000; // Set public folder as root app.use(express.static('public')); // Provide access to node_modules folder from the client-side app.use('/scripts', express.static(`${__dirname}/node_modules/`)); // Redirect all traffic to index.html app.use((req, res) => res.sendFile(`${__dirname}/public/index.html`)); app.listen(port, () => { console.info('listening on %d', port); });
The server code is pretty standard. Just read the comments to understand what’s going on.
Next, let’s set up our public/index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="scripts/semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css"> <title>SimpleWebRTC Demo</title> <style> html { margin-top: 20px; } #chat-content { height: 180px; overflow-y: scroll; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- Main Content --> <div class="ui container"> <h1 class="ui header">Simple WebRTC Messenger</h1> <hr> </div> <!-- Scripts --> <script src="scripts/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="scripts/semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.js"></script> <script src="scripts/handlebars/dist/handlebars.min.js "></script> <script src="scripts/simplewebrtc/out/simplewebrtc-with-adapter.bundle.js"></script> <script src="js/app.js"></script> </body> </html>
Next, let’s set up our base client-side JavaScript code. Copy this code to public/js/app.js:
window.addEventListener('load', () => { // Put all client-side code here });
Finally, download this image from our GitHub repository and save it inside the public/images folder.
Now we can run our app:
npm start
Open the URL localhost:3000 in your browser and you should see the following:
