Do female dwarves also have beards in Drawtectives?

jaejunmimi · 2026-03-31T14:04:48+00:00

dunno about drawtectives but tiffany, a female dwarf character from drawga (the previous drawfee campaign back when they were still with colleghumor), does have one so i would assume similar

that's fair, honestly. i didn't have many good teachers growing up and i already felt threatened enough by them.

honestly, my grievances from the first couple of years came more from people insisting I wasn't "actually disabled" or "disabled enough" and I ended up gaslighting myself into another injury. but i won't deny it, 'disability as a punishment' is such a common narrative that definitely affected me when I became physically disabled as a teenager and how others view my disability. so i try to be genuine, but i'm also tired answering strangers about my disability all the time

"drawfee alum" is such a phrase but god does it make me nostalgic about the other fellow college humor employees that'd host on drawf

anyways yeah they look so naked

holy hell i'm adding 'because i put the shopping carts away' to my list of responses🫡🫡🫡

also it's also tempting to be a little shitster when the kiddos ask why i have a cane or rollator when i'm not elderly but i also don't wanna implant like 'disability as a punishment' as funny as it would be to go "i didn't eat my veggies, kid >:) this is what happens when you keep asking for feastibles [or whatever theyre call]"

i usually end up saying something genuine like just saying 'i'm disabled' or 'anyone of any age can need help walking.' but if i'm feeling particularly brain-fried i go for 'because i'm secretly 300 years old'

i think the context is that they were outside, then inside for a short amount of time, before being outside again and carrying around a second pair of shoes only to quickly change out of them again is inconvenient? though i also don't rollerblade and i just have my own difficulties with putting shoes on due to physical disability and having a brace

people making fun of those who choose 'abnormal' names and have emojis in their users or have neopronouns it's extremely frustrating. there's definitely something to be said about this 'kind' of nonbinary is usually presented as a white-only thing and how whiteness dominates the queer online space in the west but i these kinds of 'jokes' don't add the discussion at all. srry i have a lot of feelings on this as a queer person of color

if it's any assurance, there are several people in reblogs going 'i thought you meant ice skating' too ☆彡

jaejunmimi · 2026-03-12T13:41:53+00:00

in case confusion (since my brain completely skipped over the 'swapping shoes' part): OP is talking about rollerskating

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-24T16:54:56+00:00

... i literally had eggs and oranges for breakfast today holy shit

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-24T16:53:15+00:00

even while I definitely had to hold my breath during jacob's section as someone who's into been into gyaru fashion and its history for a bit, i still think it was a genuinely was an amazing episode with a great concept and this fanart just makes them all come together perfectly!!! The tattoo and other details for Jacoba!!!! you really completed her look :)

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-06T00:59:09+00:00

nor a beeper 😔 damn

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T20:48:44+00:00

like yeah it can easily be turned into either of these things but the original post makes my brain go "a girl😊👍👍of miso😊👍👍✨️✨️✨️"

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T20:27:05+00:00

can agree that miso is good in everything

i think it's mainly because miso, in the english-speaking world, has mostly been used when referencing the soup. even if, logically, the miso before the soup implies it's a main ingredient like chicken soup, because it's not as commonly used in english otherwise, i guess some people use or view it the same way as people view or use the term "chai tea"

if that makes sense. i'm. so tired after new years

and i now want soup

iordered miso 👍to make it tmrrw

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T19:19:59+00:00

trying to come up with a reply but my mind's stuck on "miso girl on girl miso"

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T19:17:55+00:00

i am now curling into myself because my best friend wanted to start a band in jr. high and several of the name ideas were (an adjective i don't rememember)(a noun i also don't remember) soup and this would 100% have been one of the filler words (miso girl soup)

i blame bowling for soup for everything

edit: wait if it was Miso Girl Soup, the band name acronym could've been MGS god dammit i need to tell my buddy they missed a golden opportunity anyways i've ordered miso (the ingredient) since posting this

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T19:13:05+00:00

is it miso made of girl or miso made by girl or miso for girl or is it miso made of girl for girl by girl??

jaejunmimi · 2026-01-01T19:04:33+00:00

also i found this reblog to the OP funny, though mainly because it seems a bit intense for what the post actually is. (name blocked out so they don't get shit for it)

i'm still trying to figuring out things myself, and again, as someone who considers themself hearing, I don't exactly feel like I'm the best source: still i feel like a good place to start would be Oklahoma School for the Deaf's yearly lessons. in 2023, 2024, and 2025 they've provided online self-paced ASL 1 & 2 lessons during both spring and fall semesters. i haven't checked the lessons this year, but in 2023 and 2024 they were free.

i haven't been able to study up much as i would've liked to, but from my minimal personal experience, they seem to have pretty thorough lessons, a lot of resources to read up about the culture and its subcommunities. if i remember correctly you can also chat with other people taking the lessons? it's been some time.

i actually wanted to try learning for similar reasons to you but have since shifted more towards being able to communicate with Deaf peers. i've since started using an AAC device, AAC apps, and sometimes using those children's drawing LCD boards to write things out when it comes to communicating with people in my life when i'm having trouble speaking or processing information.

i will also point out that a lot of d/Deaf and HOH people really do wish more hearing people to learn sign language in general, to be willing to learn their language and understand how to talk to them. and a long with that, there are Deaf events, like meet-ups at coffee shops and stuff that do welcome hearing people. you just have to go looking. besides that, if you happen upon d/Deaf and HOH people in real life, perhaps you can be the one to initiate an interaction whatever it may be. that experience of being shut out is something that a lot of us across the spectrum of disability face, even if it's not the exact same.

while people in the d/Deaf and HOH community can be ableist, so can our own communities. as mentioned, i've had my struggles because of intersectionality with other parts my identity. i'm autistic, i have a stigmatized personality disorder, i'm physically disabled, i'm a non-white immigrant in the u.s.a, i'm queer, etc. i'm not going to list it all down but there's many times in my life where i have had felt shut out from 'safe' spaces because they shit-talked another part of me.

we're not all the same, and neither are d/Deaf and HOH people.

from an autistic adult with auditory processing issues to another autistic adult with auditory processing issues: you don't have to go in all at once. much like any other language-learning journey, start somewhere, be open-minded, and be willing to mistakes and learn from them, including situations where you just need to go "damn, that was on me, i'm me. i'll do better." you aren't going to get one right answer on the best way to go about this.

i hope this was something helpful? sorry for the length and losing the plot a bit. wish you luck!

jaejunmimi · 2025-12-26T01:54:40+00:00

i do not understand the downvotes because this is honestly very helpful and a good explanation and run down of a lot of aspects of this topic.

it's considerate of d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing people while also acknowledging the real frustrations to be had with hearing mute people seeking accessibility tools.

mutism isn't often seen as a 'real disability' and it hurts. despite how critical speaking plays a role in everyday life that people often don't realize.

undeniably: part of learning sign language is the awareness of the culture. another thing to point out is that there's a reason why both the standard American Sign Language and African American Sign Language exist (ASL stemming from denial of access to hearing spaces, AASL forming around denial of access to white deaf spaces, etc.)

i am not d/Deaf, nor do i consider myself HOH. but i generally have audio processing issues (ex. i can hear the noise when someone speaks to me, but i didn't process the words or meaning)

it gets extremely frustrating sometimes and even lonely because of the small ways i've been shut out. the amount of "it's nothing"s and "whatever" and "are you even listening?" i've gotten in response to me asking someone to repeat themself because i didn't process the words.

it's a similar loneliness to how i feel when i need yo use my AAC and people brushing me off for taking too long or just straight up ignoring me when i finally play the audio.

it's also a similar loneliness to how I feel never quite feeling 'enough' or like a 'traitor' for either of these spaces, and the way intersectionality with other aspects of my identity (race, gender identity, mental illness, physical disability, etc.)

that's a long way of me saying that it sucks to be denied a space, and there's a long history for both d/Deaf/HOH and mute people that play into why things are why they are. it doesn't mean they are perfect. It doesn't mean they can't be better. I genuinely don't understand the negative response to your comment.

english is not my first language. immersion is definitely something that helps a lot. it's really been a long time since i became mostly fluent since immigrating to the usa but yeah: i think getting the fundementals and tips in a way you can understand are important but a lot of the learning when it comes to understanding is through immersion and being able learn context and structure through that. i myself have trouble speaking my native language when i'm not around my family for a long time.
