You’re telling me, that mobility aids using handcarts like wheelchairs existed in China, in 6th Century BC … but you can’t “find a way” for wheelchairs to exist in your ‘fantasy’ setting?
I think you just aren’t trying to even research disability and mobility aids … come on
Happy

Disabled isn’t a “bad” word!
Disability has no morality attached to it! It is simply a way of life, a diverse human experience.
I am Disabled, and I am proud of what I’ve done as a disabled person, despite ableism and the world tearing me down.
Yeah so.
Accusing disabled artists drawing physically disabled people of having a gross “obsession” or “fetish” for disabled people is really fucked up and weird 🙁
Don’t do that 🩷
I know this confuses some people but:
ARTISTS CAN ALSO BE VISUALLY IMPAIRED! There are many blind and legally blind artists — blindness is a spectrum, and so is visual impairment.
For me personally, all of my work is extremely blurry to myself, I zoom in 200x in order to see.

If you are not a wheelchair user, it’s best not to make “wheelchair OC’s” just for the aesthetic. It feels performative, and like you care more about looks than function, or personality of the person in the chair. There’s a lot of nuance to disability.
I put my new draculara (g3) doll in the custom barbie pink wheelchair… it fits perfectly!
Making my favorites disabled is what I do 🩷🌸🎀🐾🦇

Reminder to able-bodied artists: Wheelchairs are NOT “mecha”.
You should not be categorizing Mobility aids in with things like tanks, cars, mech suits, etc.
If you don’t know how to draw them, that’s fine, but don’t make them seem like something they aren’t.
Everyone Is talking about Vtuber Model Designs — so here’s my contribution!
I designed my Model to have a wheelchair (because I am an IRL wheelchair user!)
I am a Fruit Boy (because I wanted to counteract “vegetable” ableist jokes) and I’m gay!

Every single artist, content creator, small business, etc has a link in their bio to help them live.
This is so incredibly unfair, it’s going to cause so many people who depend on twitter for survival to be banned.
Just cruel.
OH! Also~ i know it’s a bit late but!

Fatphobia is a REAL issue — it intersects with ableism and classism. Mocking, having a bias, being discriminatory towards fat people is bigotry and makes you a /mean/ and bad person.
Your bigotry is not ‘cute’ or funny.

Remember when someone commented on my art that I made sprout’s skintone “dirty” and “grey” and when I told them it’s actually colorpicked from my own skintone, they suddenly switched up… anyway.
I’ve seen a lot of transgender muts/friends share how scared they are in this community lately. It breaks my heart. I want everyone to know that I will listen to trans people and always try my absolute best to make my community as safe as possible for you.
I think it’s perfectly fine to use “modern wheelchairs” in fantasy — but if you want to add fantasy flare to your mobility aids, it does feel very cool and fun!
#disabledartist
The obvious answer is to stop using modern wheelchairs. Ideas like a magic floating chairs, a chair with spider legs, an animal/fantasy mount to help get around. Stuff like that.
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! 🌱⭐️🌈

So so excited! I really didn’t know last year if i’d make it another year, and I have!

I get the question “are you actually disabled IRL” so much — the answer is YES!
My Vtuber is based on my IRL self, I don’t profit off of anything I don’t experience! 🧡🌱♿️

A lot of the comments + quotes are just using a lot of words to say “I don’t want to see your wheelchair in my dnd campaign”.
You just don’t have creativity and you hate disabled people.

For the Last Day of Disability Pride Month, I’d like to remind people that it’s okay to not like your disability or not like being disabled.
Toxic Positivity is a problem within the community and you should be able to feel however you do about your disability.
Be proud of you
I’ve gotten some DM’s about being jealous of me getting a recent influx of supporters:
Please remember I am a gay, physically and mentally disabled man in a wheelchair. I haven’t left my house since 2019 before the pandemic and I am unable to work a job.
I wasn’t expecting such a warm welcome back from my hiatus 😭🍎🥝🍇🍊🍈 !!~
thank you all for caring about me and supporting me during such a hard time! It means the world to me! 🍏⭐️

Being disabled is not “karma” for wrongdoings, or something you view as something someone has done wrong.
This is an ableist and harmful ideology, which reflects onto disabled people who have not done anything wrong.
We didn’t do anything to be disabled, we just are.
Today is
#DisabilityDayOfMourning
♿️.
As someone who has spent my life experiencing violent and near-fatal ableism, this day is so hard. It is a reminder that ableism is rampant.
I am one of the lucky ones that did not die. Please remember the ones that were not as lucky.
Anyway~!

I’m a physically (and mentally) disabled full-time wheelchair user! ♿️🌈⭐️🌱
I make art about disability, fashion, life, and color! I’m also a vtuber (on hiatus due to current health issues)!
Thank you for any and all support!

Since this post got a lot of traction, I wanted to add one more thing:
Disabled adults should be allowed to feel “sexy” or “attractive” without it being seen as a fetish. We should be allowed to draw ourselves in attractive clothes, positions, etc.
Yeah so.
Accusing disabled artists drawing physically disabled people of having a gross “obsession” or “fetish” for disabled people is really fucked up and weird 🙁
Don’t do that 🩷
Our aids shouldn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing for us to be cared about, or represented. They shouldn’t have to fit the outfit or theme. We are people regardless of our “looks”. And should be treated equally.
Being a disabled Vtuber can feel really frustrating— I feel like I’m falling behind while everyone else keeps going. I need to remind myself there is NO race, no timeframe, that I can take my time and make sure I am able, or else it won’t end well.
Anyway — even if an able-bodied person draws physically disabled people, that doesn’t make them gross or weird either. Don’t deter people from drawing disabled people.
WAIT IT WAS INTERNATIONAL WHEELCHAIR DAY? AWWW MAN….
This is the most you’re gettin’ of any sort of IRL photo of me~ i’m never doing a face reveal 🧃⭐️🧡 🍉🍌🍓
Yes, i’m a twink, yes, i look 12. I know 😳 gay disabled power ig

He has control of his muscles above the shoulders, so he can shrug a bit, and due to his c4 incomplete, he has the ability to use his left hand to control himself a bit, even with spasticity! He also has a caretaker that helps him! ♿️
#disabledartist
I don’t want my art to be watered down to “cripplecore”. Yes, I draw disabled people like me, but we’re PEOPLE. The OC’s I make have personalities, styles etc, AND are disabled, it’s more than one aspect.
I’ve been blocked for getting upset about the implication and the fact people just spread misinformation like that i’m not disabled even though I list it literally everywhere….
I reached 2k!! wow guys! I was not expecting this much support from coming back from hiatus! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🍎🍊🍌🍉🍒🍇
