A Guide To Designing, Drawing Or Writing Characters Who Use Mobility Aids!!!!

The Bee Family

redesigned bee's family now that i generally know their genetics! they're very rare bunch of genes but do i care? no, no i do not Crescent, Honeycomb, and Wish belong to Tofu Bee and Vanilla belong to Willow

imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.

for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.

second design of 2023! this is Crescent, she’s an independent molly that is best friends with a tom named Honeycomb, so they had a litter together! Bee is one of the kits in that litter :) she’s VERY different from her base design -Peasant Artist Willow

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

I wanted to share these not only because they're vetted and need the help, but because I've been receiving a lot of Asks from random people claiming to be Palestenians in need. I can't in good conscience answer any of them because I'm afraid it's people taking advantage of the good will of others.

PLEASE, stop sending me these asks. I feel like an awful person when I delete them because I feel like I'm deleting a cry for help, but I've been scammed so many times in the past, I can't just randomly trust internet strangers!

However, these ones I'm sharing ARE vetted and aren't just random internet strangers! If you can help, please do <33 And don't forget to do your daily click!

The pastoralist fantasy of "modern life is too stressful so I should move to a remote area and do hard labor" is so funny
