I think people who write fiction in English as a second language would benefit a lot from using music in your first language because they tend to bring inspiration you wouldn't get from music in English.

So... I wanted a symbol to represent disabilities, one that wasn't the wheelchair symbol. As a wheelchair user myself, I do like the wheelchair symbol, but it also feels like an incomplete image of the disabled community as a whole. Disabled people can come in every shape and size, and for many, many of us, the wheelchair symbol isn't representative.
Disabled people may have wheelchairs, or canes, or crutches, or hearing aids, or service dogs, or different body shapes, or even nothing at all visibly indicating a disability. There have been alternative symbols suggested in the past, but most hinge on showing a silhouette, and there would never be a way to demonstrate all of us with one little bathroom-sign-style human. So, I made this! The Disabled Sun!
This isn't meant to replace the wheelchair symbol, as that certainly has its history and place in our community, it's simply meant to be an optional other symbol for those who choose to use it.
This symbol was chosen for the following reasons and meanings:
Outer circle represents the body; physical disabilities, our relationships to our bodies, disabled bodies in general.
The inner circle represents the mind; mental disabilities, our relationships to our minds, disabled minds in general.
The circles represent wholeness, representing that we are whole, complete people. We are whole, not despite our disabilities, but we are whole including our disabilities. We are not incomplete or broken, nor are we “missing” anything.
Circles also represent unity. In this case, the circles represent the solidarity and unity of disabled people across the wide range of disabilities. It also represents universal design.
The sun represents shining a light on disabled people, and the light we provide ourselves.
It's simple, discreet, easy to reproduce, and has a unicode symbol already. ☉
The symbol is welcome to be used by anyone of any kind of disability, be it physical, mental, neurodevelopmental, sensory, invisible, anything! If you have any sort of impairment and consider yourself disabled, you are welcome to use this symbol.

The disabled pride flag is a mostly grey flag with five diagonal stripes that start at the top left corner and run down to the bottom right corner. In order from left to right, the stripes are red, yellow, white. blue, and green.]
No credit is needed to use this symbol! It would be appreciated if you spread this post around to others to give it some traction, though!
the kind of relationship you have with characters that you dont personally care about much or are just pretty neutral about or even that you like but only mildly but you know people who do adore them so specifically and ardently that whenever they show up you’re like Just know that somebody out there loves you.
Also if I mass-like your posts it just means I think you have good taste when it comes to posting/reblogging and also I'm bored and in mood of some lengthy scrolling

Your sixth most recent emoji is how your guardian angel feels about you
Guys you don't understand why this is so haunting for me. I just- Gosh. Where do I even begin. Gosh. When it says "Fall" it doesn't mean just any fall or autumn. It says "Khazaan" instead of "Paaiiz", which is more poetic, more somber, with so many connotations of despair… It says "Konoon" instead of "Aknoon". It says "Zin" instead "Az in". It shortens it. Gosh. You only see shortenings like this in poems. But gosh. "Rah" instead of "Raah". God. How do you even describe how a simple sound difference like that is enough to make me cry while it literally doesn't even change the meaning of the word at all. It just makes it more poetic. It's just. Gosh. Tanin. Cadence. I absolutely can't. Gosh. And they call the flower "Yaar". It can mean lover. It can mean friend. It definitely means someone who'll be there for you, someone who'll help (Literally so since "Yaari" means help). It's someone so close to you, or someone you long for. It's someone so special. It's like a best friend. A companion (Wait companion is the perfect translation why didn't I think of it earlier-). And gosh, the meaning. "The flower which has not seen the fall". Someone who's never felt despair yet, one who's never suffered. That along with "Newly arrived spring". A cheerful, happy presence. It's just begun its life. And the somberness of saying goodbye to such a naive, youthful character. To let them leave and experience life. Knowing that they'll inevitably find pain out there. Find "Autumn". Find that "Fall". All flowers wilt at some point. All springs turn into autumns at some point. But! The singer doesn't even think of holding the flower back. They don't ask them to stay. They only wish God keeps them safe. They only bid them goodbye. You see, the most common goodbye in Persian is "Khodaahaafez"; which sort of translates to "May God be your guardian". "May God keep you safe" though...It's more poetic. Less common but a definitely known one. Gosh, and the way the singer sings it...You don't feel like it's just an idiom for goodbye. You feel like they're genuinely praying, genuinely asking god to keep their sweetheart safe. Gosh. And they say it three times. They say it three times, and ask to not be forgotten, say they won't be forgetting, say that they'll always love the flower no matter what. They'll be waiting. Gosh. I'm absolutely in love with how respectful the singer is to their flower. Respecting their wishes for leaving. They refer to them with the singular "You" which is more informal than the plural "You", but it still feels so so respectful. Just. "My dear traveler". "You o' more precious than life". God. Imagine that. Just. "More precious than life". Just. Let me dissect that sentence for you. They say "Jaan" instead of "Zendegii" to say "Life". It feels more hearty. It feels more like something deep inside the flesh of your heart, like a soul. It's not just any life, it's not zendegii, it's Jaan. And they say the flower is more "Geraamii" than that. Than the very essence of this person, the singer themself. When someone is geraamii, they mean so much, they're so high in your opinion, they're so important, so so important, they're the one that comes at the top, the one that's the most precious, the most valuable, the one with the most worth. And gosh. Just calling someone that. "You o' dearer than life". "You o' more precious than life". "You o' more valuable than life". Gosh. The singer just loves them so much. So so much. I'm gonna go cry imagining my OCs to this song. Gosh. "Go, may God be with you". Gosh. Gosh.
Putting this song here 'cause I just. I just want you guys to listen to it because it's so good. And it just. It just haunts me very much. This song absolutely haunts me. Might translate it and put that translation here later. Yes this is the song I mentioned in the tags of this reblog.
