Intro Post!

Joy | she/her pronouns | 20 (for now) | Eastern Time Zone, USA

Hi! I’m finally making one of these after having this blog since 2020, four years! Five this August!

I first made it after Tales of Arcadia: Wizards released; it was primarily a ToA blog. Over time, it changed into random bits of everything, including my original story and other writing I occasionally do!

However, I’ve decided to do a bit of a revamp again. Namely (…pun not intended), keeping my yapping about my writing here, and putting the miscellaneous bits on a sideblog! My writing tends to get a bit lost in all my reblogs (except for people on my taglist lmao), so I’m hoping it might get a bit more attention this way! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Secondary blogs below:

  1. @merlin-and-charlie-ambrosius - roleplay blog for my two favorite original characters
  2. @talesofarcadiaforever - random shit sideblog to not clog up my main anymore

My other socials:

I’m queer! Demi and panromantic, and grayace to be exact! I think.

This is a queer, person of color, and generally friendly space. My blog is mostly safe for work, although some of my writing does have blood and other forms of whump. I list content and trigger warnings at the top of my writing posts, and I also tag the tws, such as “tw: limb loss”. More about my writing will be down below.

DNIs will be in my Carrd when I finish it!

Similarly to how long I’ve had my blog, I’ve been writing for four years. I’m not counting my multiple hiatuses 😌.

The King of the Nameless is my original story! I’ve mostly written oneshots of it so far, which are all posted on my Ao3.

This is the old blurb describing TKN! It does. Not fit anymore.

The King of the Nameless is an adaptation of Arthurian Legend, except… it takes place in an entirely fantasy world. Wizards, demons, dragons, mermaids, and spirits are just five of the magical creatures that inhabit Galdorcræft. Alongside magic being everywhere, corruption runs just as deep in the country of Avalon. Seaside towns that imported benign items like silk are now infamous for attracting contract killers and magic hunters.

The idea of murdering magical creatures for their body parts, as well being a falsely presumed threat to humanity, is slowly becoming more widespread through rumors of what their magic can do to heal and harm, no matter how much Merlin Ambrosius tries to stop it.

He’s a wizard himself, of course. Everybody knows that.

What they don’t know is that he’s hiding a lot of secrets: being the God of Magic and Justice, being born a girl, and trying to cope with madness that makes it difficult to tell falsehoods from reality, for one thing.

However, he has his dragon familiar and found family, Charlemagne Ambrosius, to keep him grounded and understand him when no one else will.Unbeknownst to them, the very heart of corruption is in Camelot itself.Uther Pendragon has just become king after his father’s death, and he’s been waiting for this. Maybe now that he’s ruling, he can finally kill Merlin and rid himself of the rebellious, soft, mad advisor. With the most powerful wizard in the land dead, then no one will be able to stop him from killing the monsters that plague it.

Or, the former summary: “Traumatized, Mentally Ill Trans Male Protagonist Who Has The Best Dragon Ever Tries To Stop The Creepy Asshole King From Ruining Everything”

New blurb I guess?

The King of the Nameless is yet another adaptation of Arthurian Legend.

Merlin Ambrosius is the most powerful wizard alive, and everyone knows that. They don’t know that he’s transgender, aromantic asexual, and a single father. His son, Charlemagne William Ambrosius, is a massive (but not really) dragon. He’s an immortal child at twelve years old, who’s also asexual.

They love each other dearly, barely able to bear spending time apart because of their familiar bond. They’re one of the few bonded pairs in the world, and not many understand the true depths of their relationship.

But no matter what, they’ll always have each other.

(More outdated information is in my TKN Q+A !) which is going on indefinitely instead of a month, actually.

TKN Masterlist! (Which I. need to update)

Hello gamers, local disabled cane user is gonna teach you how to design a cane.

Tl:dr: design a cane based on comfortability and the disability of the character

First things first, you need to know why you’re character needs a cane. Do they have chronic pain? Unhealed injury? Muscle or joint issues? Do they have poor blood circulation which makes them dizzy? Do they need the cane all the time or does their disability fluctuate? Do they use a wheelchair or a walker sometimes?

There’s a lot you should know about a characters ability/disability in order to find what type of mobility aid they should be using.

There are a bunch of different kinds of canes/crutches. The 4 on the left are crutches. The difference between canes and crutches are, crutches are meant to keep weight off your legs as much as possible, and generally you use a crutch on each arm. Canes are used for stability and you usually only use one. Folding canes are great for people who only use their cane sometimes

image

Great! You’ve picked either a cane or crutches for your character. I’m done right? WRONG. Cane handles.

This is probably the most important part of canes because if you have the wrong handle your wrist will die.

image

I gently kiss all the canes on the left, they are all very good for grip and wrist, although the middle left is designed for left or right hand so you cannot switch hands with it.

The ones on the right are also pretty good, they wouldn’t be my first choice but they are still great. The top one is also very good as it has a wristband so you can’t drop it as easily. (Trust me when I say I DROP MY CANE SO MUCH)

Sigh. The middle cane handles… the bottom one I have never actually seen but it looks like it would kill my wrist. The top one is uncomfortable for long period uses, but it is good for if you’re a shepherd. And the pimp cane… the knob cane… it’s awful. Just no. It’s hard to grip, it is unstable it’s bad it’s awful I throw it into a fire. Please don’t give your character, they don’t deserve that pain

Now you know the basic ergonomic things, there are different shafts for canes and crutches

image

You can really get creative with this type of thing, just as long as it looks stable enough.

Here are some good examples of pretty canes that are ergonomic and good to use! (featuring victor arcane who i adore)

Add some cute details to the cane if you want! You can add stickers, colours, grip support. And while I love the concept of cane swords those are very unstable, if you want a cane weapon you can make it lead weighted, put knives in it. A poison vile in the shaft. Be creative.

Just some of these components are important to consider with a disabled character. There’s a lot more to consider with wheelchairs and walkers which I don’t have the experience with.

If you do have any questions my asks are always open to questions about this stuff! I’d love to help if you’re making a disabled character.
