#so i just want to say to everyone with chronic pain that reblogged this
Note
Hello!! I hope you don’t mind me asking but could you do a fluffy Crowley x Demon!reader x Aziraphale fic (or headcanons)??
Maybe something like what it’s like all being in a relationship together?
(Also if it’s not too much to ask can the reader use a cane to walk around? Maybe because of something relating to when they fell and became a demon? If not that’s okay!!!)
First of all, I love you and I could kiss you in the mouth right now. I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR AGES THAT CROWLEY WOULD HAVE CHRONIC PAIN BC OF THE FUCKING FALL. I refuse to believe for one moment that you can fall all the way from Heaven, land on the ground and be all “hey guys i’m fine!”
Aziraphale x Demon!Reader x Crowley
Please like and reblog<3
Warnings: chronic pain, but nothing else, this is just good old fluff
• You were an archangel along with Crowley, with the same obligations in making the cosmos✨ so you both met Aziraphale at the same time
• When Azi told you both that the project was destined to close in a few thousand years, you were the one that proposed to fill a complain to God (and crowley seconded you)
• Cue a war and a Fall later, Crowley and you are in Hell, but in different departments so you don’t see each other much
• In fact, you didn’t see Azi and Crowley for the first time since the Fall until the crucifixion of Jesus
• You stood beside them in silent reverence to this poor soul lost for all of humanity
• “What sort of mother would wish this fate upon her own kin?” Crowley and Azi turned to you with confused expressions (although Crowley gained a lot of respect for that comment hehe)
• After some idle conversation, and Crowley convincing Aziraphale not to just smite you right there and then, you three decide to traverse the world
• Centuries pass, and Crowley and you stay around humans (you love their way of living, and he likes children so everyone wins)
• You like to read everything you can get your hands on, to Crowley’s chagrin
• “Now I have two bookworms. What have I done to deserve this?”
• It’s circa the year 1000, in the new continent that these curious people called Vikings have discovered, when Crowley and you decide to experiment a human thing that you had wanted to try for a long time
• Your first kiss is messy, and there are more teeth than anything else; besides Crowley insists it feels slimey
• However, she can’t help but to accept he got a bit aroused by it
• Practice makes better, as they say, and so you do
• Although you spend the most time with Crowley, your relationship with Aziraphale also evolves throughout the years
• The “we have a mutual but I still don’t like you” to “maybe I do care about you” pipeline, if you want
• You take him to all kind of food places and bookstores, and he warms up to you a lot
• Introducing him to classical music was your proudest moment, and also the pettiest as Crowley had crossed you a bit beforehand
• The first time you kiss Aziraphale (or rather, he does), is one time you both were a bit tipsy during a masquerade ball in Paris in the 18th century
• He is a bit unexperienced but he gets the hang out of it really quick
• The three of you “confess” to each other in 1941, after the magic show fiasco
• Crowley looks nonchalant but you can see behind his eyes, he was worried sick he would be separated from both of you
• You make sure to give him extra cuddles that night
• Fast forward to 2008 and you work in Warlock’s house along with Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis, you being Warlock’s governess (like this is the fucking 1800s or smth lmao)
• It is at this time that the two of them notice you limping a bit every day after all chores have been done
• You insist that it is nothing and that you are perfectly capable of walking
• However, Ashtoreth happens to see you during one of your bad flares
• She immediately helps you to sit down on the bed, and looks at you expecting an explanation
• Her no-nonsense glare deters you from making up an excuse so you tell her the whole truth
• When you had fallen, you hadn’t landed correctly and had broken your legs on impact
• Miracles hadn’t done the full job and so you had been forced to endure the pain of the bones repairing themselves not quite right
• You had learned to mask the pain after centuries of practice but some days were just worse than others
• The next day, Ashtoreth gifts you a cane adorned with a snake head with little wings
• You proudly use it every day forward
• After the Second Coming, the three of you go to live in South Downs, finally able to be yourselves together
• There is still so much stuff to learn about everything, but you’re immortal and you are not alone, so why the hurry?
• As the sun sets on the horizon, you lean your head on Aziraphale’s shoulder as he reads one of Jane Austen’s books, and Crowley’s head is on your lap, already snoring softly
• You will be okay
I just wanted to say, I’m sorry if this is not what you asked for exactly as it is my first time writing for these two and I haven’t written either in two years so I feel I’m very rusty. I forgot ab the chronic pain until almost at the end, and I talk more about the history of you relationship than the actual relationship in itself lmao
Still, I hope you like it!

My old Good Omens art from 2019-2020!! :O (In somewhat chronological order)
In the interest of sharing my art in one place, I thought I'd revisit this era of my art! I made much more traditional art at the time. But I like thinking about the evolution of my skills over the past few years.
Director's commentary below:
I believe the first four images are from 2019, when the first season of GO came out. Boy, did that show come out at a good time for me! I was in a deep art slump that had lasted for a few years at that point. Long story short, because of untreated depression and a chronic illness that brought me physical pain, I didn't get everything I wanted to get out of college classes and I was deeply self-conscious of my skill level. I knew I wanted to tell stories but I was frustrated that I seemingly couldn’t make my ideas come to life at all.
Being alive was very difficult for me at the time and I was fighting my own dark and negative thoughts that I directed towards myself constantly. I didn't see a psychiatrist until the Spring of 2020, and only then did things start getting better. If I had to describe it, it's like a storm in my head finally cleared. The weight on my shoulders lightened up a lot. I had enough mental clarity to gain more self-awareness and really work on myself. And that included my art. And it shows a little in the last few drawings.
(Side note, I am much, much better now. Medication and ongoing therapy has completely changed the quality of my life. I am very happy to be here!)
Anyway, I was making efforts to get better at drawing after college by taking Aaron Blaise's online art classes. (Side note, his class on drawing human anatomy helped me immensely!!) But it was just the beginning of a long art improvement journey!
But I see the stiffness and insecurity that was still present in my art from that time. Whenever I shared it on Twitter (which was my main social media at the time) I'd be lucky to hit ten notes. It didn't bother me all the time, but it did get discouraging as time went on. Until one day I decided to just deal with it. Whatever the reason was that nobody was seeing my art- whether it was due to the Twitter algorithm or if my art was just not appealing enough. I was going to keep drawing. If nobody clicked the like heart on my art, fine! I was going to keep throwing it into the void anyway and see what sticks. If it got ten likes or one I tried not to care as much.
My transition from drawing what I thought other people wanted to see, to drawing what made me happy, made a huge difference. Likes and reblogs do feel really good, but I'm happy to hear even what one person likes about my work. I try to keep that mindset with me as much as I can. And I'm not perfect at it. But it helps me a lot.
Of course that transition in my mindset was gradual. Took place over a few years. But I realized lately that I have a confidence in my art that I've never had before. And I'm really happy about that!!
All this to say, whether you've been drawing/writing for ten years, one year, or a few months, it's always nice to remember where you came from and far you've come.
Looking back, I wish I could tell my past self that her best was yet to come. And I still have a long way to go but I'm excited to see what I can make in the coming years!
If I had one preachy piece of advice to offer as a final note, remember that the ability to draw and write is an awesome skill to have. A skill that not every human being has. But a skill that can be developed and cultivated over time if nurtured. It's a beautiful thing to me, to be able to create something that didn't exist before. Something that only you can bring to life. And while it might not resonate with everyone who sees it, it might resonate with one person. And I love that. So when you can, create things that make you happy, the happiness might just be contagious to its viewers. <3
...I think I should draw some more Good Omens sometime soon. I miss those guys and they are dear to me :)
#tw mental health#good omens#jojo rambles#not to get too dramatic about myself on a post. I just wanted to share some thoughts aloud :)#and in the hopes that maybe someone will learn from my journey and not make the same mistakes I did

• BG3 companions (and others) with a disabled Tav •
AN+Warnings: I come to bring you some comforting headcanons <3. Some specific incidents, but not super in depth, I tried to keep them more general. Safe for everyone, written by Mishwanders, please do not repost. Reblogs, nice comments, and likes are appreciated!
Gale
food sensitivity or have a feeding tube? Never fear my dear, for Gale will keep a look out for things that you can have while on your journey, will even make yours separate from the others so not to cause any cross contamination.
However, he will have tons of questions, just so he can get it right so prepare yourself for those.
Which will then lead him to looking for it in literature so he can learn about your condition as much as possible.
Truly the finest nurse you could have in the wilds of the fae-realms. Will even sit with you and read books to/with you if you so wished.
Astarion
Anemic? POTS? He’s quick to catch symptoms you might be experiencing. That dexterity especially comes in the clutch to catch you if you grow dizzy or faint.
However, he’s like a worried hen after that, even if he does try to play it off as being level headed and having the situation totally under control (he doesn’t).
If you tell him what you need though for those instances (salt, meds, etc.), be sure they’re always in his bag if they’re not in yours.
He may not be the biggest person on details, but be sure that these are details he WILL notice because he can’t have his fearless leader out for the count forever.
Karlach
Hard time moving across the vast distance of the world? She will stay by your side until you are ready to move again and will even carry any of your mobility aids just in case you need them on the way.
Hells, she even offers to carry you the moment she realizes you’re in pain.
She gets it, when she’s burning hot, it is hard to go on and forces her to slow down too. So she’ll tell you to take all the time you need if you need to stop and rest.
Also a wonderful companion to stick around if you’re susceptible to the cold or have muscle aches because she’s so warm. Is willing to cuddle to keep you warm and ease the aches and pains (please cuddle with her oh my god she’d be so happy about that).
Wyll
He's disabled too, so he’d definitely lend a listening ear when things get rough and will do what he can to help you alleviate symptoms or even take on extra chores to help out.
He’s also one of the first to defend your honor if anyone has anything nasty to say against you or your disability if you want/need it.
He realizes it’s not always a means to draw blades over, but he knows how to tango his way with words through snobby high society in Baldur’s Gate or even with the most eloquent of goblins or devils.
The blade of the Frontier/Avernus is always ready whenever you need him.
Shadowheart
This girl knows chronic pain - that damn mark in her hand is always causing her problems.
If you’re both experiencing chronic pain, it will definitely make her see you in a new, better light and help you grow closer.
She is willing to bitch with you about how much the pain SUCKS because honestly, sometimes it just helps to complain with someone who just truly understands.
Has extra pillows and furs under her sleeping bag in her tent for comfort and if you two are super close, she’s definitely willing to let you curl up in there with her for a while to help ease some of the pain.
Lae’zel
Now, she might be a bit sharp with her words, but she truly only wants the best for you and will do something if you ask.
She knows how a warrior's fatigue can get the better of them, so she will point out the signs to you when she notices you working yourself past your limits.
Is willing to stay with you and scare off anyone who would say otherwise about your condition or situation. Anyone who back talks about it is getting a pommel strike, guaranteed.
She will remind you that even the best of fighters need their rest too.
Halsin
Big guy will do anything to help out where he can. He is a master healer after all.
Has the BEST bedside manners, so willing to listen to you and your experience and give input when needed or asked (and like honestly? That’s the dream right there).
Is so willing to help you with anything without any judgment for your condition. Will help you change out tubes, colostomy pouch, etc. if you need it.
Surgical scars or other scars that you may feel self conscious of? It’s okay, he won’t push to ask unless you want to talk about it, but he will tell you about the bear story and how he got his scar on his face to make you feel better.
Minthara
The second biggest defender of your honor with your disability/disabilities.
While Wyll is less susceptible to bring out the blades all willy nilly, Minthara is already asking you if she can make the perpetrator suffer.
She is ready to cut someone’s tongue out for it, laser locking eyes on any of the bastards who dare try to make a mockery of you.
An enemy to you is an enemy to her and she will not stand to hear a lick of slander about your condition(s).
Jaheira
She is old, wizened, and she understands what you’re going through the most I think.
It may even lead to her doting on you, a little bit, cub.
Because getting older is rough for anyone, but for someone with a disability/multiple disabilities it can be much tougher than others realize.
She finds it the true testament of your willingness to live though, in spite of everything or anyone and that’s something she admires greatly about you.
Minsc and Boo
Minsc has a round about way of understanding what you’re going through.
Because Minsc too, have pain in wrist. Although, he does not always understand why.
He thinks you’re wise if you're able to tell him the cause. He still thinks you're wise even if you’re not able to, but are able to figure out how to ease any of your suffering.
Minsc will tell you that Boo thinks you’re the best of the best and that’s the highest praise anyone can get from a miniature giant space hamster.

When thinking of your trademark in your writing, I think it is the way you go into details and paint a picture for the mind's eye. The way you balance descriptive imaginations and realistic detailing is just very captivating.
Your art has a funky loose feel to the lining that just feels fitting to the enigma that is your brain, too full to truly poor it all out onto the paper no matter how hard you try. But boi do we love the attempts that give us any slightest peek into that brilliant mind of yours.
You clearly don't draw or write without thinking it over thoroughly.
Bwaaaaaaaa
Thank u! that's super sweet of you to say.
I do tend to overthink a lot of things.
I'm not very good at making like... Outlines or roughs of poses. I very rarely make base outlines, like I usually just start drawing and the rough sketch becomes the final lineart. So I often rely super heavily on references when I draw. For some reason over my 28 plus years of drawing, I never really gotten a grasp on how the torso, legs and fingers all really connect and form one entity. I know I could try with enough discipline and practice, as art is a skill. So I have this weird blend of like... Super confident lines, but not knowing how a torso, shoulders and legs connect which make a really interesting balance, and leads to things like this:
Like I can always see the framework of what I want, especially when little reference is used, but it really seems like nothing connects. Like the understanding of SHAPES is there, but not the understanding of how they are coherent together, if that makes sense? And you can kinda see that in my more high profile art, but I feel there was a period where It did click and I understood how it all connected but I forgot it all.
Like at some point, with these two, (rest in peace. the ship tag has not been updated since I left the naruto fandom) around 2019 I was getting it! Like I felt I was really getting it, Like I MADE THESE!!!! but then I kinda forgot it all. Like I still didn't use a base outline for these and did rely on heavy references, but I feel I was getting a grasp on shading and autonomy and how the human body works and fits together. And then it... Just kinda vanished from my brain, and I regressed to a more chibi simple art style. Either because it was easier, or because I was experiencing more chronic pain in my back and hand.
At the end of the day, I think my art style regressed a lot due to lack of practice, and lack of encouragement from outside sources besides the internet likes and reblogs like RL friends or Family. That, and I feel my attention span and patience for things has just gotten worse as I've gotten older. I'm guessing my Dad's death had a lot to do with that. As, I am over the loss of my Dad as a person. but mentally, I am not over coming the fact that mortality is very fleeting. You think I would spend most of my time living life to the fullest. But that isn't the case. I kinda feel like I've been stuck in that "What is the point of anything if anyone can die suddenly without warning for any reason" Stage of grief that I have NEVER really got over.
Needless to say my Dad suddenly dying with no warning due to a ruptured aurora was just something everyone was unprepared for. He wasn't sick from an illness, no one knew he was in poor health. It wasn't even a car accident. Like he just suddenly died cus part of his heart exploded essentially.
I mean, I know I rarely talk about it, other then mentioning "My Dad died Eight years ago. Haha I'm over it tho, it was awhile ago"
And, While I think I'm over it in the sense with, I'm at peace with always missing him a little bit, and don't think about him constantly... I'm not over it in the sense of how fragile mortality is and how it can be taken away. For no just cause or reason.
I guess I'm over it, in that I'm over that my Dad, the person is dead. I am NOT over the fact of HOW he died. And I think it'll be a long time till I cross that hurtle.
And yeah, that's a heavy part of life, that we all get old and die one day, but some people don't even get to grow old. you think it would make me more.... "make time with what you have, enjoy what you like."
but if anything, it makes me more fearful in "what is the point of doing anything if I were to die tomorrow, what have I done. Folks will miss me, sure. But I will still be gone." So then I just end up doing nothing for long periods of time, and that's mostly why my art skills suffer because I don't see the point of doing a discipline or working towards any goal whatsoever. And I'm just going through the motions. And yeah, sometimes, I will be super productive and be happy and do a lot of things for a bit, but they're always short lived moments and it's hard to stick to things.
Looool sorry if that's all just too heavy.
Oh, if this sounds too complaining... Or "pity party. Woe is me, Dana is Depressed again" ahahahah. Like, that's not the point of this. I mean, it's my blog and I can talk about my feelings I guess, and I feel that Depression, even before my Dad's death impacted my art journey. So I'm still trying to struggle to remain consistent in my endeavors.
Or I could just be lazy. XD That too. XD
Anyways... Moving on in terms of my writing style, that's very nice of you to say.
I am a deep appreciator of inner monologues if it wasn't obvious. I like to dissect what characters are thinking and I sometimes feel I overdo it, and justify every single action and breath they take by getting so close in their own head that there's hardly any breathing room for error.
But I just write how I tend to think in terms of Overthinking, so I don't think I've ever written a character from a close third person (or first person) perspective that hasn't overthought every action before they speak.
But usually within the context of the story, their inner monologue spanning 20 pages actually takes place in the span of less then a few seconds.
I don't think I could write from Bob's POV if I tried. He's a man of action rather then overthinking. And if I held his hand as a third person narrator, he would sho me off and do his own thing gladly without my interference. XD
Anyways. Didn't mean to get so venty on this ask.
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. Also some insight into my process I guess. XD

Warnings
One of the things I must warn you is that I am often on the phone and just give fast reblog, so many things are not usually tagged.
I think it's worth mentioning that I occasionally reblog things that are sexual content or +18 in general… in my defense, I'm over 18.
I hope it doesn't happen, but I do occasionally enter debates. I apologize but it's a guilty pleasure. I know they serve no purpose, but I like to argue with people
Interactions
I love any interaction that happens on any of my accounts, reblogs, messages, likes, asks, if you do any of those things I probably screamed with excitement when I saw it
In the case of asks and messages, there is the possibility that I am slow to respond, I tend to panic in social interactions
Also I recently remembered that I've always liked to give advice, I don't know if I'm too good at it, but if at some point you want to try asking an internet random stranger…. you have my permission to talk to me, as long as I feel comfortable giving advice on the subject, I will give you some advice or idk

Jay attempts to draw possibly there are drawings here, warning: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW
Jay and... Jay what are you doing? You figure out what I was doing here, because I definitely didn't know.
Jay cries about some misfortune that happened to them in minecraft self-explanatory
There are tags for comments on movies/shows/podcasts/(possibly books) that are very well organized in this post
About me
I like cats. That's all.
...
Well, no. I'm in my 20s, recently diagnosed with adhd and autism (before that I had self diagnosis), I am in evaluation for chronic pain and other things, I identify as greysexual, greyromantic, agender (sometimes non-binary), bi, among other things.
I have trouble explaining things, and I define myself as a joke, in the way that my life is full of comical situations in which I am at the centre

Stop talking about me on your blog.
I don't have anything with your ex
I never have and never will.
I haven't spoken up but since you now publicly put my name on your blog.
I reblogged a bunch of butches. You know what tumblr is for? Reblogging.
I was never interested
I AM ALOT OLDER WHY WOULD I BE ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED.
Here on tumblr we reblog butches and femmes or mascs or trans or... People we appreciate or just to give a platform. And everyone knows my platform was to give butches a platform and I literally went over the tag butch daily and reblogged them. I only slowed down because I am unwell and don't have any interest atm in doing so.
So no. I never was interested like that.
Two if you are standing up for abuse and just victims in general and people who are suffering and everything so much
Then leave me alone.
I am fighting to stay alive and not off myself because of the constant pain 24/7 by a medical mistake and my chronic illness instead. I don't have time for this.
I have no issues in general but keep me of your blog, keep your people from all of a sudden sending me things.
I cannot use this petty stuff right now.
All I care about is getting rid of the pain and not giving in to the bad thoughts.
I will block everything that comes next.
I do not need to take this
Talk freely about your ex as much you want, sorry you're going through it but I do not know you, you are talking about things that just aren't true so stop.
And if you have any respect you will. I have boundaries and especially in the situation I'm in right now I am protecting myself from any negativity. Dealing with being in a depression again after being well for a long time and basically being on $uicide watch is enough. I don't need bullying and if you respect anything of what I'm saying, stop answering asks about me aswell.
Just stop.

For a little while now, I've been bouncing the idea around in my head of Frederick suffocating to death in that chest. But what if he didn't? What if he stayed in oxygen deprivation just barely not long enough to kill him, but enough to put him on life support and cause permanent brain damage?
I was hoping that I could say that this brain damage was why he tripped so much, because it hurt his motor skills. The sources I found seemed split on wether or not that was a symptom, so if anyone reading this has experience with asphyxiation induced brain damage, reblog. Anyways, what they did seem agreed on were several other issues that have potential.
For example, impaired thinking and judgment/impulse control. It'd be cool if frederick's comment about Gwen was a result of hindered judgment and impulse control. Frederick would have some ANGST happening if that was the case. It's one thing to have your disability be embarrassing or have potential to harm others, but it's something else entirely to have someone actually get hurt because of it.
It also includes personality changes, which could help explain why kid Frederick is so different from the older Frederick, along with his trauma. He might even wish he could go back.
Other symptoms that have potential but I'm not sure if they're accurate:
Chronic pain. Frederick having chronic pain just- makes so much sense for his character. I don't have an actual reason why I like this, I just like chronic pain Freddy.
Speech difficulties. I feel like Frederick's family would be super embarrassed about it, and Leland in particular would shame Frederick for it a lot. The CPC might joke about it a bit too, and might even shame him for it when they first meet him. They drop it after they realize how uncomfortable he is with it tho.
Ok "I'm not a medical professional" section over
I feel like the media might gossip about it too. Like, it'd be a big thing across the plaid kingdom that the youngest prince has brain damage, I doubt they'd be nice about it either. It'd be one of those things that everyone he meets mentions, and it makes Frederick really uncomfortable every time. Sometimes they'd be all pitying and talk about how hard it must be to appear in public with his brain damage. Others would look down on him and bully him, tell him he needs to go back to the hospital whenever he trips because of the whole motor function thing, etc etc.
Blaine probably doesn't exactly put out the fire either. As much as I want him to have a redemption arc, it would certainly be a Redemption arc with a capital R. Right now, Blaine seems like the kind of hypocritical jerk to gossip about Frederick behind his back.
In general, the media media wouldn't have the best opinion of Frederick, and it wouldn't just be just because of his shrimpy stature.
These are my sources btw:

Pinned Post (revised 6 May 2024)!
If you’re trying to decide whether or not you want to follow me, hi!
I’m old (60 in 3 weeks, retiring in July), and I have chronic pain, post viral syndrome (like long COVID, but a different virus) and a mood disorder. I am autistic and ADHD. Sometimes I’m cranky about things people say because I took them literally; if I am doing that, explain and I’ll shut up and say sorry.
I spend most of my time on this site talking about Transformers, Gravity Falls, my other fandoms, and Lolita fashion, which I absolutely do still wear. I also talk about thylacines a lot. I’m a progressive.
If you’re here for frilly dresses and giant robots, or weird little northwestern towns like Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls and Night Vale, come on in and pull up a chair!
I have been active in fandom since 1978 and I have shipped many pairings and polycules, and you probably think at least one of them is gross, but that’s just life in fandom. I write loads of Transformers fic and my OTP is Ravage/Soundwave.
If that bothers you, leave now because I talk about it a lot--unless you can accept that our headcanons likely differ and I’m probably not writing the relationship you think they have, only with added smut, which probably would be weird (but I’d still have the right to do it).
I do not have a DNI because I just block people if they piss me off. If you are an evangelical Christian, an animal rights activist, a messianic “Jew”, an anti-Semite, a TERF, a racist, anti-choice, anti-queer or an anti-shipper, you are likely to piss me off and get blocked.
Rude anons will be deleted or roasted depending upon my mood. I grade anon hate on a very stiff curve.
I reblog things I like. I do not have time to check everyone’s DNIs first. Block me if you don’t want dirty shippers reblogging your content--it’s not our job to defend the purity of your platonic pairings, it’s our job to reblog things we like so that other people can see them. Otherwise, this site does not work.
I do not take down reblogs unless it’s getting 2500 notes and everyone’s notifications are making them want to die a little. I will also not reblog things on demand, especially if everyone else I know is doing it and we’ve all seen it 6 times already today.
#orientation for new followers#or whatever#hi there#I'm obsessed with ravage and soundwave#and very into decepticons generally#also I love frilly dresses a lot

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported my art this year, either by buying from my shop or just reblogging my posts.
My physical and mental health has been pretty bad for the last year and a half which has made working on any new art very difficult.
Selling at conventions and through my online shops are my only sources of income and it's been especially hard to do that when I can't make many new products to sell because of my chronic pain.
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease earlier this year so any purchases from my shop etc are extra appreciated right now because gluten free food is very expensive and it would be nice to treat myself to some overpriced chicken nuggets from time to time 🥲
I have no idea when I'm going to be well enough to draw regularly again but I'm going to try and dig into my digital/sketchbook archives for things to post and hopefully I can work on some personal projects over Christmas 🤞 Tumblr continues to be the place where my art makes the most impact so thank you all so much for your continued interest on my work ❤️
#had a period over the summer where I felt great#but its all been downhill from there unfortunately#less cons are probably in order next year 🥲

'Please tell me anonymously or not why you follow me. I could use some positive messages'
ngl your blog is a very real place.
I believe your life must be a difficult and gritty place to be; I can almost feel the stress secondhand through your posts, and I don't know if you like being followed by me: but I when I follow people or like their posts, I hope that you know I am praying for your happiness and that I'm always listening to your heartbreak and pain.
that's part of why I follow u; I want to provide some support, in some way, and I don't quite know how, or if this is effective. but I'm here.
and I appreciate your being. although life is hard you're constantly posting things like this; spreading a positive muse culture through reblogs. your RPS are fun to read even when I don't know anything about them; the way you play your muses brings a smile to my face with the familiarity.
have a song; https://youtu.be/yp6-960igQE
(( My pain warped brain had to read this a couple of times to fully comprehend that this is genuine, and I feel like crying. To have found some people here (such as your anon self) who feel so close to me, and are close to me, it's such a nice feeling. Especially when I'm going through things like I am now, and probably will keep going through (with my disabilities and chronic pain, plus my own insecurities).
I guess I should probably use my personal blog for what it's here for, but I want to let people know what's going on, because I'm followed by, and mutuals with some pretty amazing people and want to shut none of you out on my life--i feel it selfish to be honest.
I enjoy all of my followers, except the bots, they can get blocked. I want to talk to everyone in DMs but just get overwhelmed with it all and my anxiety spikes. Though I have a select few people that I can hop in and just scream with/to them and they listen...they understand. I hope you could be one of those people since you are so concerned, anon.
Even though my muse might seem very closed off and guarded, given his canon counterpart being his opposite, he's very kind should you be his friend or someone dear to him. I project a lot of myself in Ichigo, and maybe it's not all that apparent, so I'm saying it (though I'm sure I've said it in the past). I love my muse, and treasure the relationships both he and I have made here. ))
EDIT: I listened to the song you sent, and there's a line that I think defined just about everyone who listened to it, and myself.
"It's all the damage in the end, that makes me who I am"
Thanks for letting me hear that and know that my being broken is okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

there's something comforting about Call Me Little Sunshine, maybe it's because I've been having a shit time with my mental health, but not only is Ghost back, Tobias said "You will never walk alone, you can always reach me."
That whole some is just a nice message to hear during this shithole times

In regards to fandom behaviour: Volbeat.
I'm utterly disappointed and disgusted with how a lot of the fandom (I suspect newer, younger fans are the bulk of this group) have acted towards Volbeat, you're not cute or special being disrespectful towards them, and with news they've had to pull out of the next show due to covid, you lot have become next level disgusting, hoping they'll pull out of more shows 'because I only care about Ghost!'
Look I'm not a fan of multi line up shows, but that's because I'm disabled and can't handling being up and active in a concert for hours and hours (I've done it once, I sat underneath a bench while the main act played bc my chronic pain killed me).
You are showing this fandom in a bad light, you are acting like fucking kpop stans with the lack of manners and respect.
I'm not asking you to become Volbeat's no. 1 fan, I am just saying you need to stop with the mocking, as it will effect the two band's relationship with each other.
You do realise the only reason we have a Ghost tour is because the two bands put their finances together? Do you honestly think you would've gotten a solo Ghost tour? Ghost is an Expensive band to tour with all the set pieces and gear, I 100% believe they teamed up with Volbeat to off set venue costs during year 3 of a fucking pandemic.
Also the ageism, who the fuck cares if Volbeat has an older audience, it's not cute to make fun of older people enjoying things? Ghost is a band of people all ages, and let me break your ageist hearts, Aether is in his 40s, are you gonna mock and bully him for being cringe too since he plays around on stage? You do realize that none of the ghouls, apart from Rain, are young right?
What may be the worst part is that if a Volbeat fan turned around and said we were cringe, I know the exact same people would be yelling and crying on twitter about how mean Volbeat fans are.
Grow up, shut up and enjoy Ghost's part of the tour.

I just want to say for the show, if it does turn out not all Prequelle ghouls return, DO NOT go onto their social media and get angry at them, to not go there a guilt bait with “aw I’m gonna miss you!”
Hired musicians move on all the time. They have a right too and with covid, they have every right to do what is right for their health, psychical or mental.
Also, if there is any new ghouls, you DO NOT go on their social media and yell at them for “replacing” your favorite, they did nothing wrong.

My #1 post of 2022
You know what I love right now? the idea Copia is OBSESSED with being better than Papa 3
Imagine it, as a lowly cardinal helping Nihil he watches Terzo, he's confident, flirty, charming, handsome, everyone gets along with him, Nihil doesn't hate him. The siblings of sin swoon over him and his 'stupid' jawline (as Copia calls it).
Copia has had to watch this, while he's had to work his way to the top, and what did that even get him? Nihil hates his guts, sure Sister likes him, maybe even a little too much, but many in the Clergy sees that as a negative.
But then, Sister informs him, "it's your turn Copia". It's not an easy road, this hasn't been done before, many object, including Nihil, many are shocked, shocked that the Papas are dead, and even more shocked that Copia is now in charge, they would rebel, but if Sister says it's ok, then what choice do they have?
He finally becomes Papa, over time people grew used to him being in charge, maybe some liked it, in some ways the old Papas become a memory.
But soon it's not enough, he still sees that awkward cardinal in the mirror, he wants more, he wants to be the handsome papa, the one that swoons the clergy, the one that his flock dreams about at night, he wants to be obsessed over.
A little self care is in order, suddenly that once stupid jawline isn't such a bad look, it just had to be on the right person.
He changes his skull paint, get rid of the rat bone nose, no more rat boy, soon it becomes cleaner, almost like his, but it's not, he swears he wasn't inspired at all by him.
Don't dare mention him.
He needs more attire, we wants to look his best at all times, too look confident and sexy. He has intricate suits made, gold lining, flowing fabrics, it suits a man as powerful and attractive as him. His clergy notices how the once awkward rat man walks, with power and weight in his steps. They begin to adore him, or fear him, he can't tell the difference anymore.
As long he is all they think about when they think about Papa.

we talk a lot about how mental and physical disabilities are different lived experiences and just having one doesnt mean you understand the other
Autism and schizophrenic spectrum are different lived experiences and just having one does not mean you understand the other — signed, an autistic schizo who's met under-understanding from both. Being an upper limb amputee and having digestive disabilities are different lived experiences and just having one does not mean you understand the other.
There is no line between the brain and the rest of the body unless you put the exact same line between *all* disabilities. It only serves to enable ableism from both "mental" to "physical" and "physical" to "mental". Many people have talked about being directly harmed by that divide. For many people that divide is literally nonexistent within their lived experience. I had a post that was talking directly, though not explicitly, about my experience with "both", reblogged by physdis separatist blogs; that one part is of the least importance in this ask, just felt like mentioning.
My most disabling things are chronic migraines and ADHD. It doesn't matter whether I cannot do something because of one or the other, or any of my other disabilities — ultimately, I cannot do it.
listen mate.
im gonna be blunt here: i dont know you and i dont care about your life story. if my post about my lived experiences didnt speak to you then thats fine, just scroll. my post is for people who do relate to it, who find that their mental and physical disabilities are separate yet related, and who want to see that specific experience acknowledged. if you dont relate to wanting to see that specific duality highlighted, the post simply is not for you. im assuming the point of this ask was to criticize me for being a “”physdis separatist”” (if thats what were calling it now), but honestly its actually hard to tell since its buried in your entire life story that, once again, i do not care even a little bit about. thats not me being rude, thats just me being a complete and utter stranger who does not know you or care deeply about your opinion. sorry.
you say "There is no line between the brain and the rest of the body unless you put the exact same line between all disabilities." guess what? i DO put that line between ALL disabilities! ive talked before about how adhd is different than anxiety is different than autism is different than a personality disorder; chronic fatigue is different than chronic pain is different than paralysis is different than amputation, etc- none of them are inherently automatically "better" or "worse" than the other, just DIFFERENT. one of my most reblogged posts is about that. however i find it EXTREMELY telling that people only ever get mad at me when i point out the difference between mental and physical disabilities. extremely. because for me and many other people, our mental and physical disabilities are separate! good for you that you and other people experience something different, but that doesnt mean that me and the people reblogging my post are wrong for experiencing our disabilities in a way thats different than how you do.
so again, i really dont understand what your point is here? i agree that different disabilities affect people differently, that they can be intertwined in a way that makes them almost indistinguishable- that was .... kind of literally the point of the post youre getting mad at me for. its cool if you want to see more acknowledgement for people who have no divide between their disabilities- its awesome actually! you should make the post! hell, id reblog it!! but my post is not about the experience of having your mental and physical disabilities entirely inseparable. my post is about the experience of living with several disabilities that feel simultaneously completely unrelated and entwined. my post is about MY specific lived experience, and the lived experience of everyone else who relates to it. if thats not you, thats literally fine. you dont have to go sending angry asks explaining your own lived experience to every random poster who says something that doesnt speak to you. cause the truth is unless theyre already your mutual or a friend, they simply will not care. making your own posts is easy and free. not leaving long messages in the askboxes of utterly random strangers who make posts you dont relate to online and who ultimately dont give a shit about whatever you have to say anyway is also easy and free. sorry again, im not trying to be rude here, just honest. because i do not know you and i do not care what your lived experience is and i do not have to care just because you decided i need to.
i hope you have a good day.

i know we're all excited and freaking out about keyleth and whitestone and VM in C3 and trust me I am too, but I have to take a second to mention Ashton being constantly in pain, and the whole sequence describing that.
As someone who has several issues that mean I am never really not in physical pain in some way, I genuinely came close to crying when that was described.
I already connected to Ashton a lot, they were already one of my two faves of the party and five faves of CR over all, but this really hit very close to home for me.

Hey I know we're all freaking out about Imogen, Laudna and Delilah Bitchwood, but I want to take a moment to point out how Ashton was being soft w/Orym after he fell.
And I don't just mean like... 'oh look the tough rock is being wholesome'. I mean as in... it was Ashton who was soft with him.
I don't know I just can't stop thinking about Matt describing Orym's fall off the ship and how it reminded me of the description of Ashton's fall off the balcony. I just think it's neat that it was them, of all people, who immediately went over to him and stuff.
God I love these two

My #1 post of 2022
oh and for anyone who hasn't caught on or has just not thought about it due to all the other shit that's been going down, Ashton having confirmed chronic pain from those cracks also gives more context to him asking about imogen's lightning marks in E34.
"Do they hurt?" | "How do they make you feel?" | "I mean, at first, they were terrible. They let everyone in town know I was different, you know?" | [Ashton subtly nodding along and changing expression at parts of what Imogen says] | [Does their best to reassure Imogen that This is Some Hero Shit and Not evidence of some sort of great evil within her] "...Goddamn Superhero, are you fucking kidding"
I love this punk rock. so much.

As someone who has post-viral disabilities/conditions, it absolutely INFURIATES me that, despite a mass rise in post-viral disabilities/conditions (aka long-covid), IT’S STILL NOT BEING RESEARCHED.
I had a virus in May 2016 (end of 8th grade), the symptoms of which (plus more as time went on) never went away. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2017, followed by POTS, fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, chronic pain, and more - none of which have a cure. (There are also several conditions that I’ve researched and am almost certain I have as a result of that virus over half a decade ago, but I’m still waiting to get appointments with those specialists.) Since being diagnosed, I have done various treatments/medications, had many appointments with specialists & physical therapists, and have done basically all I can to get better.
Now it’s 2022. It’s been 6 years since the virus and 5 years since the first diagnosis. Can I do more than I could in 2017? Absolutely! I don’t want to say that it will never get better, because it does - just slowly (and at a different pace for everyone). But I’m still NOWHERE near where I was before 2016, certainly not even close to what I might have been able to do now if the virus hadn’t happened.
I had to switch to homeschool (away from my friends, though better for my physical and mental health) for 10th-12th grade. Last summer, I rode a bike for the first time since 2016, and I was still in pain afterwards. I’m finally at a place where I can start doing the things I used to be able to do or have missed out on (ex: making my own lunch, learning to drive, going to college), but it’s a very delicate balance. I’m at a place where some of these things are finally in sight (I won’t say in reach yet), and it’s frustrating to desperately want to do them and know I’m so close to being able to, but I still have to be really careful.
Because of my constellation of conditions, it has been incredibly difficult to improve my health. For example: one of the best ways to treat POTS is by exercising, but exercising also unfortunately triggers CFS/ME flare ups (due to post-exertional malaise), which in turn triggers chronic pain, etc. The worst part is that it’s nearly impossible to tell when you’ve overdone it in the moment, which means that after doing more rigorous exercise, I have to make sure I don’t schedule anything for the next 2-3 days in case of a flare up.
I know I’m not the only one with complicated, contradictory, incredibly difficult co-morbidities, which is one reason why it takes so long to even start healing post-virus.
I’m upset that there are SO MANY people with long-covid that are receiving the same treatment myself and others have received in terms of our post-viral illnesses. I was hopeful that, even though the last thing I wanted was more people having to go through what I’ve been going through for 6 years, this rise in post-viral cases would have pushed more research into why it happens and how to cure (or at least better treat) the most common disabilities/conditions that it results in.
Instead, like other post-viral illnesses, we’ve continued to see small, underfunded groups research the resulting individual conditions (CFS/ME, POTS, etc) without the funding to come together to research the co-morbidities as a whole, while the majority of the population (including medical professionals, news sources, the general population, etc) at best completely ignore and at worst utterly deny the existence of long-covid.
And I’m so tired.

Pinned Post!
Hi Tumblr! You can call me Ash (they/he), and this is my disability sideblog.
We’ll mostly be reblogging content, particularly constructive positivity and tips, but we might occasionally post some of our own experiences/advice.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that I’m not a medical or mental health professional, and any advice that I post is not to be taken as real medical advice, but just things that have helped me personally. If it helps you too, that’s great! But just because I say something has worked for me doesn’t mean it will work for you.
Content Description, Askbox Guidelines, and more below the cut!
About Ash
I’m Ash, I use they/them and he/him pronouns, I’m in my 20s, and I’m a queer POC living in the United States (unfortunately).
I’m currently working in retail, because it’s the only job I can get, and I’m racing against the clock to become a published fiction writer before my body gives out and leaves me without income.
Despite everything, we’re trying to live our life to the fullest extent that we can.
About My Disabilities and Diagnoses
I’m not going to be making any sort of a detailed list of diagnoses, for my personal comfort. If I post advice for any given diagnosis, it will only be for those that I have. I’ll reblog posts for many different disabilities, though.
We’re physically disabled (progressively getting more so), and mentally disabled (getting better, hopefully). Most of our advice posts will be about chronic pain, hypermobility, neurodivergence and trauma symptoms— the symptoms that we experience most heavily and most impact our life— and coping mechanisms and methods that help us.
One thing I will say here though— I/we have complex Dissociative Identity Disorder. At least for those of us primarily using this blog, we’re focusing on trauma recovery and coping, as well as doing a lot of parts work, in order to recover and better integrate. We won’t likely be pursuing final fusion, as it’s probably not possible, but we’d like to be more functional, less easily triggered, and to fuse parts where they’re comfortable and ready. I treat my DID as part of my PTSD, and while there are varying levels of comfort with various terms, we typically try to have more of a “parts of one” interpretation and focus, while at the same time not forcing this view on alters/parts that aren’t ready for it yet. The terms or pronouns we use (“I” vs. “We,” “Parts” vs “Alters” etc.) might vary based on the context and the part currently fronting. “Ash” is the collective name we’ve chosen to go by. I won’t be sharing any kind of “list of alters,” out of respect for the safety and privacy of each part. If they wish to introduce themselves, or sign off, that’s up to each of them individually. We have a long way to go, but we’re working on becoming more healthy. If my/our perspective(s) on our own disorder make you uncomfortable, please don’t follow.
This Blog’s Purpose
As is probably apparent, this blog is recovery-focused, but at the same time, as someone with a disability that has and will just get progressively worse over time, recovery can mean management too. Recovery, for me, isn’t about “getting better,” but about living a full life in the ways that we can.
I want to recognize that some disabilities are permanent, or won’t improve, or will get worse over time— and to find/provide validation for painful feelings, and celebration for whatever progress can be made. Whatever “getting back up” looks like for you, or me, or any of us.
Posts on this blog will be tagged with their type (tips, awareness, positivity, etc.) and the relevant disability or condition, as well as any common triggers in the posts. In addition, any personal posts I make will be tagged as “ash tells tales.”
Before You Follow & Askbox Guidelines
I don’t have a “don’t follow if” list, because quite frankly I don’t have enough energy to check everyone who follows me to see if they’re a TERF or not.
If you directly interact with me (asks, replies to my posts, reblogs), and exhibit any of the following, the ask in question will receive a generic response directing you to this post:
Questions about my Diagnoses
Questions about my Trauma
Any other non-casual personal questions
“Syscourse” or anything involving “endogenic systems”
Requests for medical advice (opinions are okay, just please don’t treat me like a doctor or therapist— I haven’t been to med school!)
Questions or advice relating to specific experiences, disorders, or conditions that I do not have/do not have experience with.
And if your interactions exhibit or contain any of the following, I will delete any ask or reply that I can and block, whether anon or not:
Racism
LGBT+phobia
Antisemitism or Islamophobia
Any other Bigotry
Ableism (not due merely to ignorance)
Victim-blaming
Preaching Chrxstianity or B*ble Verses
Conservative Idealogy
TERF Idealogy
Any Hate
Intentionally Triggering Material
In the meantime, I always love hearing about:
Positive things! Things that make you happy, accomplishments, things you enjoy. Some art you feel proud of, pictures of pets, happy stories and small daily successes.
Advice and Recovery Stories! If you’ve made a major step in recovery or symptom management, or if you’ve found something that really helps you, feel free to send it in and I’ll pass it on (just make sure to specify condition/symptom for tagging purposes).
Fun facts! Sometimes we all need a little distraction— if you know some fun facts about your interests that you want to share, feel free to send them in!

Event Info
WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 Official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don't have to include the exact wording into your work). Additionally, there are 3 prompts for each theme. These are optional suggestions and can be used in conjunction with the theme, or as options/alternatives. We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks.
Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, and photo/video/audio edits. Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.
When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag the with:
#whumptober2020 …..(the event tag)
#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(theme number)
#bruised, #stabbed, …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)
#fandom or #OC
#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)
#teeth, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Keep in mind not to add “tw” in front but only use the word/trigger itself, because tumblr sucks)
#nsfw, #nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)
PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober2020 blog. They must be tagged in the order above.
Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.
Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month.
Questions not addressed below can be directed to this blog as well.
Thanks for reading, and happy whumping!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?
This is a MIXED MEDIA event! You can write fic, post meta, doodle or paint, create a gif set or photo edit, link a song, or get crafty with video - anything goes. As for NSFW, make what you like, we just hope that you’ll tag your work accordingly so that others participating in the event can stay safe :)
Q. Do I have to do all 31 Days? Can I post early/late?
Participate as much or little as you like, and post whenever! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (ex. #no.11, #psych101). Combining prompts into one piece of work is okay, and posting late is as well so as long as it’s in October.
Q. What if I don’t understand a theme?
Send us an ask! We’re happy to help clarify. That said, the themes are entirely up for interpretation :)
Q. Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?
Absolutely! That’s like shooting two whumpees with one bullet :)
Q. Can I upload/repost my whumptober content to other social media platforms?
Of course! We’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there. The archive can be accessed here. The blog is the official archive, so please respect the boundaries of any closeted whumpers in your social circle :)
Q. Can I use prompts to write a new chapter for an existing fic?
Yes
Q. An existing fic I am currently writing contains many of the Whumptober prompts, can I use it?
If you are actively writing this fic at the moment with the whumptober prompts in mind, yes. If it just conveniently checks the boxes, then please don’t. You can, however, add new chapters answering one or more of the prompts.
Q. What kind of characters can I write for?
Fandom characters, OC characters, human, furry, alien, cyborg, whoever you like.
Q. Can I use a prompt multiple times?
Yes, but it only counts once
Q. If I’m not comfortable with one day's prompts can I use a prompt of a different day as a substitute and still be a completionist?
Yes, but please do not use a specific prompt twice. We have also created an alternate prompts list that you can draw from [here].
Q. Where can I post my work?
Post where and how you want. You don’t even have to (cross)post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive.
Q. Can I start posting early?
You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? That being said, you can post early, but we won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.
Q. Do I have to finish a fic I started/can I post WIP’s.?
Yes you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it in October for it to count towards being a completionist.
Q. Is co-writing allowed?
Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you :)
Q. Do I have to create 31 standalone pieces to be considered a completionist or can I write one continuous story?
One continuous story is fine. The challenge is to write something for 31 prompts. If that’s spread over 31 fics or just one, you are still considered a completionist. (The same goes for every other media you choose.)
Q. Is there a min/max limit on word count?
There is no limit
Q. Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?
No limit and combine as many as you’d like.
Q. Is a hc/angst focus ok?
Of course!
Q. What’s considered nsfw?
See this post
Q. What's whump?
See this post
Q. My interpretation of the prompt isn't whumpy at all, does that count?
No, sorry, but keep in mind that whump [see definition] is something very nuanced and different for everyone and emotional whump/angst is just as much part of it, as is physical whump and torture. So before you dismiss your idea, think about this.
Q. Can I start working on the prompts before October?
Absolutely! That’s why we posted the prompts a month in advance. We recognise how difficult it can be creating for 31 days in “real time”.
Q. How do I tag triggers?
tw at the end of the word, ex. emeto tw
Q. Do I have to use your tags?
Yes, if you want your work archived on the blog. If not, feel free to use whatever tags you want.
Q. Does combining prompts count towards completion?
Yes
Q. Can we @ you?
Yes but we mostly rely on the whumptober2020 tag
Q. Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?
There are no rules, just be sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies of whatever site you use).
Q. Where can I go for brainstorming help?
Here on Discord
Q. My characters are minors, is that ok?
Yes, but as with everything else, tags are your best friend.
Q. Can I cross post on other blogs?
Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.
Note: This is a creation challenge, please don’t repost your old work under our tags (unless it’s been changed or edited for the event).
