The Sound System

Deaf people have their own culture

Blind people have their own culture

Autistic/ADHD/Neurodivergent people have their own culture

Mobility aid users have their own culture

For example:

- in deaf/sign language culture, its okay and normal to point (its often a sign itself)

But I want to give a shoutout to systems whose handwriting and art styles are very much the same

This is a covert disorder and a lot of the time and differences in these things aren’t going to be noticeable (especially if you’re still in an unsafe situation)

What is a king to a god?

Me: no! bad!

Character: *gets fatter as a visual indicator that they are allowing themself to enjoy things / they are no longer experiencing previous hardships and dangers / they are generally happier*

Electronics have sound

Appliances have sound

If electricity runs through it, it has sound.

Rarely is there actual silence (and that does bother me due to lack of sensory input).

This is why the barn uses me when they think the horses are reacting to a noise they can’t hear. I’ll likely find it (it’s usually the heating or the electrical box in the indoor).

…Are…are you telling me other people can’t hear the fridge motor? 

The constant high pitched whine of electric appliances? 

That the world doesn’t sound like radio frequencies?

It already took me 21 years to realise that I don’t perceive light the way normal people do (thanks to astigmatism) and now this?
