The Local Cryptid Speaks

*gets down on one knee* will you be the evil scientist to my evil henchman?

i know the post-amnesia dysphoria hits hard as fuck

idk it's kind of frustrating. i've genuinely never, ever seen a character that uses a rollator before. not once. i cannot name a single one. i know of multiple ocs who are described to have full-body pain, dizziness, and fatigue that are drawn as cane users and are never shown with wheelchairs or walkers, though

it's also sort of sad? i've been diagnosed since i was twelve years old, and i only heard of rollators LAST YEAR. and that was only because i saw one irl and immediately asked what it was. i wonder how many disabled people out there don't even know it's an option solely because they're completely underrepresented online and in media

if you're a creative with a disabled oc, PLEASEEE check out this link. it's a very nice and detailed guide for telling which mobility aids suit someone's needs best. it's incredibly important to make the right choice for your character! mobility aids tell you a LOT about someone's lived experience. picking the right one will communicate to your audience #1 what your character goes through #2 that you UNDERSTAND what your character goes through!

(rocky voice) grace not know grace a girl? okay... grace a little stupid but rocky still like.

huge fan of when characters love each other and are closely bonded in an explicitly nonromantic way. however ☝️ i am very much not a huge fan of what happens when characters like this are introduced to fandom

still floored every single day that poutine isn’t more popular in the states. french fries, cheese curds and gravy. zillions of ways to change it up and make variations. it’s SUCH an easy sell but i *Never* see it sold anywhere

America is falling way behind in Dumping Shit on French Fries When You're Drunk and it's pretty shocking.

I was honestly surprised when I learned it wasn't invented by Americans. "Pour gravy and cheese bits over french fries" sounds exactly like something someone in America would do (from Wisconsin I would bet). But somehow the Canadians thought of it first.
