Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

i have seen so many posts that are “depression tip” posts and lemme tell ya

good lord

it’s a whole lot of “shower. seriously it’ll help. clean your entire fckin house, less clutter. cook yourself a four course meal cuz food” but when depression gets bad, like to the point where you can’t get out of bed, i feel you. so for those moments where you really can’t move,

° stretch. you don’t have to stand. you can stay laying down, roll your ankles and your wrists, stretch those legs, maybe pull up your knees if you’ve been laying flat. no standing necessary.

° put your hair up. having it in your face and on your neck can be uncomfortable. you don’t even have to brush it, just get it up

° if you keep water by your bed, drink a few sips. you don’t have to chug it or go buy some fancy lemon water, take a few sips. if you don’t have water by your bed and you live with someone, text them to bring you a bottle of water

°if you keep food in your room like i do for moments like these and it’s been a while since you’ve eaten, take a few bites of a granola bar. if you don’t have food ask said person to bring food with the water

°music. chances are you have your phone with you. for me, music is an outlet. if it helps you, use it

°brush crumbs off your sheets. trust me it feels way cleaner. take off your dirty clothes. you don’t have to change them you can just slip em off and toss em. now you have cleaner sheets and no more dirty clothes and chances are you’ll feel more comfortable

° rest. sleep if you can. this shit takes a lot of energy, you’ll need as much sleep as you can get

° if you have someone to turn to/ if you have the energy to text or call someone, do it. it’s said a lot but i really am here for you guys. reach out to someone. you do not have to fight this alone

° it. will. not. be. like. this. forever. i promise you.

you can donate to the minnesota freedom fund to bail out protestors here. I donated $10. if you see this, will you either match my donation or reblog to spread it?

Tony: Where’s Morgan?

Tony:

Tony: Ok, this calls for desperate measures.

Tony, whispering: Tony Stark is a bad father.

Morgan appearing from behind the curtains: I love you 3000 you’re the best Dad!

Peter dropping from the ceiling: Step the fuck up, Kyle!

Harley kicking down the door holding a potato gun: Who the fuck wanna die?

Vision teleporting in through the Internet: That is not a factual statement.

Nebula bursting out of a kitchen cabinet: *brandishes knives threateningly*

Tony tearing up: What the fuck guys.
