Yo I’m Spirits (or Kin, or Spirit Kin)
I go by he/they
I’m a tired cat
I sometimes post art, either on my art blog @spiritkincreations or here tagged scribblez
I dont always remember to tag things this is your warning
i think about this a lot. what if a deaf human fell down the mountain. would he make his threatening language accessible
Speaking of accessibility...
[Comic ID: A short comic about Flowey and Frisk from Undertale, done in simple lineart.
Flowey says "In this world... it's KILL or BE KILLED" while wearing a menacing grin. His expression fades as he doesn't get a response. Frisk is staring back at him blankly. They hand him a card reading "Hello, I am deaf or hard of hearing. Please speak slowly and clearly." Flowey looks at it with a neutral expression, then pulls a vine out of the earth, grabs a stick, and proceeds to write out his previous message. Frisk brings their hands up to their mouth, gasping with shock. /End ID]
Flowey may love scaring the shit out of people, but he'd never be ableist about it. If anything, the time he's spent depressed and without limbs would make him more likely to absolutely throttle someone who was being ableist, no questions asked.
making the accessibility comic accessible. you're an angel on earth, you know that?
we all must get weirder and more queer. i am completely serious and genuine and this is urgent. please get weirder and gayer now. if you see me acting weird and gay mind your business a little bit.
What we call "ponies" are actually 3 different species that have managed to intertwine with each other through centuries of love and friendship.
Earth ponies are unique in their strength and solid, powerful hooves built for running and moving heavy objects. Ancient ponies only displayed earth tones in their fur and hair, but even one pegasus ancestor many generations ago can imbue colorful hues to all their descendents.
Pegasus are completely covered in feathers, with long feathers forming crests much like horses' mane and tails. They are usually the smallest species, but some exceptions do appear. Hooves are usually small and cloven, with prehensile dewclaws for gripping branches and perching in trees.
Unicorns are much closer to deer than horses, and their horns are actually a set of two antlers that wind around each other from a single base. The coiled structure pulls magic from the world around them and concentrates it at the tip, allowing the unicorn to cast whatever spells it wishes, while the other species can only use magic for flight and affecting the environment.
That is, until new alicorns began to ascend and through their power, grant magical properties to intangible concepts like friendship and love
Alicorns are mysterious, ethereal giants who fill the entire sky as they pass by. They are not a mix of unicorns, pegasus, and earth ponies, but a creature beyond any of the species; an ascended form that could supposedly happen to anyone... But but that's just an old foals' tale. Right?
more stories where one of the characters is undead should have a scene where they take advantage of that and “play dead” when faced with the consequences of their actions so it looks to everyone else watching like the other person is just getting really mad at a corpse
like, “are you seriously playing dead with me right now? not cool, man… i know you can hear me, do you honestly think you’re being funny… no, guys, they’re not dead - well, i mean, they are dead, but they’re not, like - ugh, you’ll see what i mean in a minute. come on, get up, i’m serious, you’re really embarrassing me right now - look, see, they just twitched! they’re literally just pretending to make me look bad, come on, you gotta believe me -”
it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul
congrats you want to live and be happy
bad news the world doesn't want that for you
I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess
It's a drop in the hat. They should be asking for so much more.

Hey if you have memory issues - whether it's due to trauma, brain damage, being neuroatypical, or just generally having a brain that doesn't work like it should, I just want to let you know that it isn't inherently weird or creepy to write things down, or keep notes about people you care about.
To someone who just remembers things because they are important, needing to write things down is for things that aren't that important. The kind of people who tell you "you would remember it if it was important to you" actually do function that way. To them, the idea that you would have to write down what your partner likes or doesn't like, or keeping a list of your friends' triggers, seems unsettling and creepy because they don't need to do that, they'll just remember such things. From their perspective, such notes would only be useful for people who aren't important enough to memorise, and making people believe that they are important enough to be remembered when they aren't would be manipulative and predatory.
But a lot of people just don't function like that. If your memory is shot, it doesn't magically make exceptions on the Super Important Things just because you want it to. Remembering shit about someone just because I love them is just as far out of my reach as magically being able to sense their exact location purely through the power of love.
It's still best not to tell people that you have notes of them, that'll freak them out, but don't feel bad about needing to write shit down. It's better to keep a list of wich ones of your friends have asthma or are allergic to bell peppers on your phones' notepad than accidentally endanger someone because ~you're just supposed to remember~ that kind of things.
Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.
Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.
this tweet hasn't left my mind once in the two years since it's been posted
one thing about my mutuals is they will be on spectrums. autistic? asexual? aromantic? gender? sexuality? you name it they're on it

some things never change :)
The more I get into post-apocalyptic stories, the more grateful I am that the team behind Kipo decided, "It's a post-apocalyptic world but it's colorful and it's beautiful and it's alive and it's going to be okay."
I love it when characters are immune to psychic attacks/emotional manipulation magic/psychoactive drugs or whatever, but for DEEPLY mentally ill reasons.
Fear gas? I already have an anxiety disorder. Also you don't know the meaning of fear until you have a category 5 autism event in the middle of a social scene and know you'll get severely punished if you act out
Depression aura? Bitch I live an economically productive, nutritionally balanced and physically active life that other people rely on like this.
Haunted? How would my ADHD ass even know?
Pain machine? Hm. If your machine's "10/10" is my "4", I should probably talk to my doctor about better meds.
Oh, we're all mutually unintelligible? This is Tuesday with Autism and Audio Processing issues.
There's something very cathartic about a character facing down the horrors and laughing because the antagonist can't even get close to what they already live with.
opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"
seems like this one really resonated with the artists who dont do art fandom
