bro LMFAOOOO
I suffer from nerve damage and spine problems. I don't have to use any sort of movement aid (yet), but on many days, I prefer to avoid stairs if possible. I've found that splitting from a group is very disheartening, and brings up feelings of guilt.
a certain friend of mine has made it his mission to walk with me every time, whether it be on the stairs (going down or on a good day) or on an elevator. if we're with others, he will ask me if I want him to come with me, and will often follow me no matter what I say about it. it's nice having someone like that, even if I still feel guilty about it.
❗CRIPPLE TIPS❗
If you are in a group that includes anybody who is using a mobility aid, if you are out and about and a Stairs Situation arises, either ask them which they'd prefer, or opt for the elevator (given your group is small enough. If not, have a couple friends use the elevator with your disabled friend, after asking if this is what they prefer (they may enjoy a moment alone, everybody is an individual with their own preferences). This means they don't lose the emotional "high" of being part of a group, conversation can continue so they won't suddenly feel lonely and excluded on the solo elevator ride, which can creep in and ruin their mood especially if they're new to their disability, and there's less of a chance of confusion once you're at your destination. Nobody likes being lost, but the inherent exhaustion and physical exertion that comes with using and mobility aid is incredibly... Unfun. And distressing! This can be easily avoided and you have the chance to be an Excellent friend! We notice these things!
corrupted venti being evil and mean and stuff but you’re actually very clearly into it and he becomes himself again for a second like “w. wait no. why aren’t you scared.”
Show only fans calling Percabeth Smartwater is the cutest thing ive seen all week
music teachers: i’m going to simplify the terminology for these teenagers so they’re not intimidated by a swarm of italian and french
dance teachers: if these 7 year olds don’t know it’s called a pas de bourrée pas de chat fouetté plié en deuxième coq au vin what’s the point
ever since i learned about ghost buildings i haven't been able to stop thinking about them
"Humans as space orcs/space Steve Irwins" is always a fun worldbuilding exercise, but imagine if our behavior is fairly normal but something we take for granted is utterly alien to the galaxy at large.
Like, what if Earth was one of the handful of biomes to crack photosynthesis but none ever saw it adopted and adapted to the scale we see it one earth.
Chemotrophic tree analogs that fill the role of mushrooms on earth, whole forests of the dead just how things are done.
The idea that the forest can be a living place is utterly shocking to the august civilized peoples.
Sure, says the galaxy's archivists, photosynthesis works on the cellular levels and there are some impressive bacterial mats on Cestus XI, but a field of wild grass is beautiful and terrifying simply because it's so far out of their experience and context.

I don't talk to people much but that's just the anxiety. I love conversation if you wanna chat! • • • • • (don't mind these dots, I haven't figured out how to space yet, lol)
