Ableist Language Content Warning:

Ableist language content warning:

Just a PSA: Many people believe they aren't ableist but as soon as someone's disability inconveniences them in the slightest, they're immediately up in arms about how horrible this person is for being disabled.

So tired of hearing "you have to help yourself"

"Have you tried [insert completely unhelpful tip]"

"You can't expect the world to bend to your will." (When asking for accommodations)

"You don't LOOK disabled."

"Well you did ___ yesterday why can't you do it today?"

"You need to stop making excuses."

"You complain too much."

"You can do anything if you put your mind to it."

"You just have to force yourself to work you have no choice."

"Just go home if you're going to act like that [my legs collapsing beneath me/fainting/saying I'm having a panic attack]" (same people who tell me I just need to push through)

"Oh that person is being so rude" (when they are overwhelmed and unable to carry on a normal masked conversation bc they are overwhelmed)

"ADHD isn't an excuse to be late or forget things you can set alarms and have planners"

I and many others are rightfully pissed off at being dismissed and condescended to and belittled and stomped into the dirt EVERY OTHER DAY. (Not exaggerating.)

Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”

Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*

Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.

Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.

if this gets 1000 notes by March I'll uh. get a therapist. and y'all aren't allowed to reblog more than three times, I know what my friends would do

edit: to 1000 because my friends will try to get to 100 in the comments

being demigirlflux is weird

a demigirlflux person, 2024.

For those who’d rather attempt to read my handwriting: most of the time (less so more recently) I flit around, vaguely comfortable with being called a girl (I used to use she/they, pronouns, while I’ve switched to they/she it wasn’t and still isn’t inaccurate)

and then sometimes, inexplicably…(more often more recently) it just… feels wrong.

it’s weird, because it isn’t consistent. It would be nice if it was, haha.

WHY HELLO THERE INTERNET GOER,

what if you pause scrolling for but a moment? You may or may not regret it, but hey, it’s the friends we made along the way.

ANYWAYS

The ref sheets of two characters I recently redesigned. Say hello to the NEW AND IMPROVED Arai and Luna! :)

I’ve had these guys for a while, even back when I drew like… uh well back when I was more of a beginner then I am. So a few years? Maybe two? anyways, these…. questionable pieces that I’m about to show you (from my current view) are (a small sampling, because the rest is worse and scares me) their concept art. They’ve changed a bit, haha. for example, Luna now has a tattoo, her wings are now retractable, and her eyes are visible. A fun note on her eyes: her pupils are both slitted, but one is sideways, which causes her depth perfection to be a bit

uh

bad.

(she constantly bumps into things so Arai needs to be around her 24/7 to keep her from injuring herself, which is ironic bc Arai is more of a dumbass)

both of Arai’s eyes are now visible as well, and the colors of her eyes are less saturated.

all around colors have been shifted a little bit.

Huh. I had no understanding of anatomy or lineart. HUH. okay let’s not let Dragon start roasting their old art mercilessly or we will be here for much too long.

it is nice to look back and see how my art has improved though!

oh, and before I forget, they’re from like an AU of a separate universe I have.

hydrate, don’t diedrate, remember to eat and take care of yourself!

This is for all y’all who don’t understand how terrifying these suckers are.
