No worries, I understand, my memory is terrible as well 😭🙏💔

Heres a link to an answered ask about some ways that I find names for my OC’s:

naming an OC

Yes!

I’ll be releasing another batch of adopts (most likely this month — either later this week or next week) as I have some sketches already done & just need to do some linework & coloring. I want to give everyone my best work so It might take some time but yes! I am planning on selling more!

Thank you very much for liking my art & being interested in my adopts!

Thank you so much! That’s very sweet and it means the world to me that people really like my art & ocs! I always get very excited when others seem into them!

I won’t stop! Sometimes, I take breaks for my health (both physical and mental) but I will never fully stop 🩷🫶🏽

Thank you very much.

I am grateful for those that care about me — I am also thankful that my partner is not as sick as me right now & is able to meet some of my needs. He helps me get water/bathroom/etc.

I appreciate the care & I am trying the best I can.

Thank you so very much! That’s very kind of you!🫶🏽

I have one more adopt that was a bit more detailed than the others that I will try selling later this week!

(Hint: 🍔♿️)

Thank you very much, It means a lot that people took the time to listen to me and my struggles.

It feels like everything just keeps getting worse, sadly — and I started the new year off terribly. I hope it does get better.

Thank you for caring of me.

Hello!! No need to apologize 🩷🫶🏽 it’s very sweet & nice of you to like my art so much!

Thank you so very much!!

Well, usually I break it down linguistically & culturally / ethnically.

Example research questions:

• What ethnic groups live there? Is there cultural groupings? What makes these ethnicities distinct?

• What languages do they speak? How many? What culture speaks what languages?

• What are the religions of the area? What are the spiritual beliefs of the area?

• linguistically, how are their names said? Is there grammatical rules that differentiate between other languages?

• What is the meaning behind the name? Is there significance in the meaning / who gives them the name, is it passed down?

These are only a few questions you should research when choosing a name. I know it may seem like a lot at first, but it helps strengthen your knowledge about different cultures and languages & will overall help you understand your characters better.

Thank you so much 🫶🏽❤️

It means a lot! I try my best to have nuance in my depictions of disabled ocs, like it can feel miserable a lot of the times, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also be fufilled & do things for yourself and your community.

I’m glad I can provide comfort to those newly disabled & with progressive disabilities— I also have a progressive disability so I try my best to have viewpoints from others.

Thank you again for liking my art!

I’ll give you her description on toyhouse!

Patime پاتىمە • Uyghur version of “Fatima” • She/Her • Uyghur Hijabi from Xinjiang • unlabeled sexuality

Works with Saad at his family Bakery / Cafe. She helps bake in the kitchens as well as make deliveries. She loves the smell of freshly baked croissants. Najib loves hanging out with her, and doesn’t know that she is secretly baby-sitting him when Saad is busy.

When she still grew up on Xinjiang, before moving to the US, she was forced into a state-run boarding school due to her parents being put into labor facilities away from her. Due to the human-rights violations and abuse — she was physically abused and tortured when “punished” for minor mistakes — she lost her left eye, and left leg below the knee due to infection and sepsis. She has both a prosthetic eye and a prosthetic leg/foot, only was able to get when she left at 21. She has not been in contact with her parents since she was a very young child and has no idea where they are or if they are still alive. This pains her a lot.

One of her current dreams is to get her very own moped.

Thank you!

Yes, I definitely have been wanting to do this — what has me slow with it currently is the research! 🙏

But yes! This is in the works & I will be doing it in the near future.

Hmm, this is a tough one because there are, like. thousands of different ways to go about it. I can try my best to suggest ways to go about it, though.

for disabilities:

• have a specific symptom you’re curious about? Search it. With things like any search engine (like google) you can always search something like, for example, “what disorders have paralyzed legs?” And medical & academic websites will give a long list of every disorder (or most) that have that as a symptom of their disability.

• Start off slow with your searches, you don’t have to jump right in knowing every disorders name — that’s impossible. Don’t hold yourself to impossible standards! Start with a small search & then expand it further.

• Once you learn the name, or disorder you want to research, start searching that name in medical research studies, journals, etc. if you want personal experiences you could also look up youtube or tiktok of those that have it too, and listen to them.

For ethnicities:

• similarly to disabilities, start off slow. What area of the world do you want to research first? Asia? Europe? Africa? Then, is there a specific country? Once you figure that out, keep narrowing down your searches. A good search is always “what ethnicities live in (country)” or “what ethnicities are indigenous to (blank)”.

• Once you figure out the basics of what ethnic group you want to research, search that specifically. Many history books written by certain ethnicities exist, visit your local libraries, museums, and other academic journals online.

• most importantly: listen to people of that ethnic group. Go into this study session with the knowledge that you know nothing. Have humility, know you are ignorant and be respectful. You are there to learn. It’s extremely important to not have an entitlement to an ethnicity you are not apart of, you are an outsider looking in, and that’s OKAY! Nobody in this world is every single ethnicity at the same time.

• be respectful! We are all human, we need to celebrate & acknowledge our differences.

That’s all I have for now, I hope this helps in some capacity.

That’s great to hear!

I’m super glad to be able to give you some representation & recognition. I know it’s a disorder with a lot of ableists that spread misinformation about — so I think it’s super important to show it in the light of how it really is, disabling.

Hello!

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me — anthropology & the study of different cultures is something I find truly fascinating and connected with on a deep level! + being severely disabled myself, it feels very natural to mash them together into one big soup.

I’ve definitely struggled in the past, felt like my “niche” was unwanted or my viewpoint was dull or something — I don’t think this anymore, of course, but that was when I was starting out mora.

I love trying out new styles and techniques, I can’t seem to ever stay to only one but i think that’s a natural life of an artist, we always strive for more.

This is so so sweet & my heartbeat increased reading it (good way! Not bad! Like butterflies in my chest) because of how nice it is to hear!

Thank you again!

P.S. never apologize for spam liking! I find it truly so sweet! I adore my spam likers 🙏🩷
