Anybody is definitely welcome to caption videos on their blogs! The more people caption videos, the more accessible it makes Tumblr and other platforms for d/Deaf/HoH people so they know what is being said in the videos.

I didn’t understand this at first until I tried it! 

Thank you! I had to ask a friend to help me. Sebastian’s voice is so soft in that video. I really couldn’t understand him! 

I had bilateral cochlear implants and I felt exactly the same way. I grew my hair out to try and hide them because I felt so exposed and weird with them showing. As I got older, I grew to realize that people who judge others by their external looks aren’t worth to be around. Excuse my french, but fuck anybody who thinks that you’re a freak for having a device that will help you out. Try to keep your self confidence up. People will like you for who you are, not because of how you look and what devices you use. It’ll take some time but try to be proud of yourself and of who you are, okay? <3 I’m rooting for you! If you have any more questions or need support, I’ll be more than happy to answer them.

Omg. Thanks a lot auto correct. xD Fixed!

That’s actually a really great question! I try to get it to reach as many people as I can. So I tag it as “Captioned video” “Captioned vine” “Vines” and then the viners name. I only have five slots to work with, because those are the only ones that show up in tracked tags.
