See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Welcome to my self-indulgent little corner of the internet 💜

My name is sky and I use they/them pronouns. I’m white, queer and in my 30s. Tumblr is my bedroom wall and I’m taping up all the things that bring me joy. I have a fairly active queue, I reblog a lot of fan art and just things I find neat. Expect a lot of interactive fiction, video games, star wars, critical role etc.

I do a lot of blorbo blogging and love talking and developing my ocs. I love hearing about other people’s ocs as well!

for the last few months I’ve been choosing an oc of the week to focus on developing and it’s been a lot of fun. This week it’s Saca'ryl from SWTOR (you can see past ocs of the week here)

I do a bit of writing. You can check out my ao3, my writing tag (lovelieswrites), or my masterlist.

I’ve also been trying to learn how to art, I’m still a baby beginner, but I do have an art tag, sky attempts art, here as well.

DMs and ask box are open and I enjoy getting to talk to new people as well as getting tagged in dash games etc. Social energy can be low depending on work but I do genuinely enjoy getting interact so if you wanna chat hit me up!

I do occasionally post/reblog more mature content which will be tagged as nsft (usually writing)

psychiatric disabilities are such bullshit. like what do you mean im not going to reach my full potential just because my brain said no.

like this post is flippant but every day i have to contend with the grief that comes from knowing that, actually, there are things i want to be and do that i simply can’t. that the high achieving version of myself that everyone saw in high school was never real. that the goals i set for myself were always out of my reach. like how am i supposed to be content with the scraps that im able to cling to? how am i supposed to navigate life in a world that’s actively hostile to me? how am i supposed to build a career when most people aren’t willing to do the work to look past my symptoms in my personal life, never mind my professional one? how am i supposed to build a life at all when all of my energy is going towards surviving my own fucking self? like?? it’s not fucking fair. and im so lonely. and so tired. genuinely how am i supposed to get over this.

Cheat code for writing disabled characters in sci-fi/fantasy without eliminating their disability:

Don't change humanity, change what's available to humanity.

i.e.: If your magic removes/fixes a defect or your sci-fi lets you select for traits at birth, that's changing humanity. That's altering a fundamental aspect that real humans live with, and distancing your fictional version of humanity from the real deal by cutting out a portion of it that your setting deems "undesirable."

If your magic/sci-fi aids a defect (like magic netting that acts as a brace, or a wheelchair with wheels that transform to fit the environment), then you're taking humanity as we know it and saying "wouldn't it be cool if we had these tools?"

Don't change what makes us human, change what humans can create.

Cheat Code 3: How to make your setting itself disability-friendly

Triple A game devs really out there showing their asses, huh?

"BaLdUr'S gAtE 3 sHoUlDn'T bE tHe StAnDaRd"

And why the hell not? Why shouldn't players expect more than half-finished, bug-filled games with tons of microtransactions? Why should they settle for playing regurgitated copies of whatever games have been popular for the past ten years when they could be playing games that the devs were actually passionate about making?

When you have access to a bigger budget and more resources than Larian did when they made BG3, what's your excuse for shipping a broken, half-assed mess of a game?
