Hm. As A Hearing Person, It’s Not My Place To Speak Authoritatively, So D/Deaf And HOH People Feel

Hm. As a hearing person, it’s not my place to speak authoritatively, so d/Deaf and HOH people feel free to correct me, add on, etc, but I haven’t seen many people talking about this and I think we should. From what I’ve seen, we as Supernatural fans could do a little bit better with portrayal of sign language and Deafness (primarily in fic) with regards to the character of Eileen. This isn’t regarding any specific person, but I’ve seen a few ficlets on my dash where there’s a note like “just assume all dialogue is being signed at the same time so Eileen can understand!” or the fic itself has Eileen read lips the whole time. With just a little bit of googling one can easily realize that’s not the ideal way of communicating for a d/Deaf person, and we owe the character more respect than the show gave her.

Here’s an article on SimCom, or simultaneous communication, which is what the show usually has Eileen (or Sam) use, and why it may not be as good as it seems to hearing people. https://blog.ai-media.tv/blog/what-is-simcom

Here’s a few guides to writing d/Deaf characters in general, that I found just with a few google searches:

Hey. I dunno what writer needs to hear this, but,

using the same word twice in the vicinity of the other/same paragraph is okay.

This Was Gonna Be A Tutorial And I Guess It Still Is But If Anything It’s Just A Really Long And Drawn

this was gonna be a tutorial and i guess it still is but if anything it’s just a really long and drawn out “essay” on drawing people with epicanthic folds. one of my biggest pet peeves is people drawing asian people exclusively with the same type of eye they’d give white people or anyone else who typically doesn’t have the fold! however i know that most people are taught with the standard white person eye (google image search for “eye” and it’ll all be pictures of white people’s eyes) so learning to draw epicanthic folds is a consciously learned thing. 

therefore i bring you this, which attempts to break the mechanics of epicanthic folds down into something that’s a bit easier to digest and implement in your own art! 

style can be argued i guess but it’s not that hard to stylize eyes with folds if you do proper observation and research. eyes with epicanthic folds are as diverse as eyes without so it’s not like you have to adhere to a strict model for them (although many people think that you have to) and all it takes to distinguish the two in stylized art (and even in semi/realism once you think about it) is a few lines! like i said this is a learned process but it’ll make your asian characters (and characters of other races even) a bit more interesting and believable.

could u fite the derps

Has this been done its probably been done whatever idgaf u can leave a complaint in the complaints box but I DONT CHECK THAT SHIT

ChilledChaos: Despite the fact he's a massive fucking nerd with an aversion to bugs and spiders he's also 6"2 and really really buff so fight with caution. His skype picture is him wearing a sombrero I think you're safe. You'd probably win if you brought a cockroach.

GaLmHD: He's sarcastic beyond belief and you'll probably end up getting confused on why you're fighting him in the first place. He's also really smart so you should probably not fight.

TehSmarty: Fuck that loser up he might be tall but he's a fuckin' dweeb you could 100% take him beat him with his own selfie stick then claim your title as the new card czar

ZeRoyalViking: You fucking sick bastard why would you even think about fighting Ze ofc you could 1000% take him but congratulations you're a dickbag for beating up pure sunshine.

TomFawkes: Abort. Abort. Do not fight. Tom is tall and mysterious and would probably pull some double roundhouse chuck norris shit do not fight abandon the pit immediately.

So Max opened donations on his twitch channel yesterday and people were being crazy generous, and when someone donated $100 he got kinda emotional. I wanted to give him a huge hug.

Thank you Max for everything that you do. You make so many people happy and cheer us up on our darkest days, we can’t thank you enough.
