Umitober Day 27: Swap AU

still an absolutely iconic moment 🫡

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.

Have a zombie Umi (aka Unhuman)

Also silly @yjhgvf style cause I like 'em :]

Wait- I have a better idea, make them both cats like Shape Bandit but not have connection with the bandit/mafia group, then they find out about Shape Bandit's object that has links to the group and boom, nice (I dunno if they can be also SP's siblings, but still nice)

I've got like most of my lil Toodlemakers rewrite done but now I gotta do their designs (hardest part), which can take a while depending on motivation, schedules, and references needed. So I figured I'd show my concept of their personalities/roles in the rewrite (they won't be going by the same individual names as the original btw)

IMO, I feel like despite being an anthro cat villain (who redeems, then says F it and goes back to being a villain in the Umi Grand Prix episode), Shape Bandit despises the trope where cats are depicted as villains. He especially dislikes when dogs are depicted as heroes and cats the villain. (*cough* Paw patrol *cough)

Shape Bandit has beef with the Paw Patrol this is 100% canon bc I said so

^^

Hi, hello I have gift for you

Deci gives me such autistic vibes so I thought of making her the autism creature. Yippeee :] (couldn't decide which one I should give but have both colored and uncolored)

(I like your posts btw, and drawings too, the simplicity makes everything so much funnier, especially whatever's written on Bot's belly screen whenever he shows up)

(tysm for the compliment too! I love writing funny stuff on Bot's screen :])

dadchuck is everything to me

Heppy pride month :]

Swap Team Umizoomi drawing!

Was inspired by Yjhgvf's idea of Milli and Geo having the role of the Troublemakers, like them being the villains and Milli having anger issues. I think the AU is very nice and the fact that they have their own personality instead of just being "chaotic1/chaotic2 + no reason to be or do evil" like in the original is pretty good, and the Troublemaker's clothing weren't the best. Also funny thing, my Headcanon is: Milli's ponytails can be affected by her pattern powers, thus being literal fire whenever she's extremely angry.

Putting credits in here too just in case:

Swap!Team Umizoomi AU by @yjhgvf

This looks like some sort of Team Umizoomi and Undertale crossover and I love it

Like- there's so much information I am screaming

Very good :] 10/10

Day 31 of Umitober: Any Au (In this case, I drew my little brother's Au that I had for months, although he is not my blood brother, I call him that out of affection)

And this is the reason why it took me so long to draw it.
