feverworm : i just wanted to clarify some things artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited. saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed…

i see a lot of post-story Iron Lung fanart (especially because of BloodyMary) which is awesome but i feel like a lot of people don’t realize Simon is an amputee 😭 i don’t think it was on purpose, because that scene was very dark, but… am i crazy or did he lose an arm?

ahh i'm so glad!! i haven't had a life outdoors since i was like 13. that's ten years! and buying a rollator gave it back to me. i used to go to farmer's markets all the time as a little kid and it's been magical being able to go to them again. mobility aids are life-changing!! i highly recommend you get a rollator if it's within your financial means!
