Comforting Candlelight For Hollie 😊

Thank you nervoussaladbard! Enjoy this Art Thing. No, I don’t know what this creature is either.

Vote for Oakie: SUNY Mascot Madness

Remember when I asked if people would vote in a tournament poll hosted somewhere other than this hellsite? Well, the final round begins now! Please vote for Oakie the Acorn for me, they’re a quirky little acorn and it would make me very happy! Plus, just like last time, 1 new vote for Oakie = 1 post featuring an art piece by me*! Please like or comment when you vote so I know :)

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

*which might just be a doodle, but I will try to share things people enjoy!

Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.

This is the safe one:

Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

Please vote for Lucina (AKA “Marth”). She’s my blorbo and she’s the reason I first started getting into Fire Emblem. To me she’s badass and cute and relatable and funny all at once and how did they fit this much awesome in a single character. I’m autistic and although her behavior doesn’t scream autism quite as loudly as that of some of the other characters in Awakening *cough cough Miriel* she seems very autistic to me with the overly formal way she speaks, her tendency to take things literally, her general lack of social awareness including a comically terrible fashion sense, and the way she often doesn’t get jokes. She feels personally responsible for saving the world and holds herself to such an impossibly high standard and doesn’t know how to rest or have fun because she grew up in a freaking apocalypse… I just love her so much.

please know that being disabled does not make you incapable of being ableist .

have faced ableism from other disabled people . who thought they know more about my experience with my disabilities than I do . or who thought that me being disabled is some how " threatening " them being disabled too , as if can not both be disabled .

have had other disabled people make rude comments about my disabilities . when I said that what they said was ableist , they question me , say " but I disabled " .

yes , you also disabled , but can still be ableist / say ableist things .

you not immune to say rude things / make mistake . that is ok . you just need admit when you make mistake or say rude things or be ableist . accept it happen some time and learn from it . otherwise , still being ableist .

ignoring disabled people when they tell you being ableist is being more ableist . listen to disabled people , including when you are disabled too .

Thank you @anyconstellation for voting for Oakie! We made this as a traditional piece and edited differently for color/contrast/etc in the two photos.

Vote Lucina my blorbo ❤️❤️❤️
