Hiya, I'm Echo an amateur artist and soon-to-be Vtuber from Australia!
I tag my art on here with #echo's art, my characters with #echo's ocs
I'm not especially active online at the moment but my ask box is always open for anyone who wants to chat :)
You can also find me on Bluesky as @echoarts.bsky.social
And I reblog mostly on @echo-reblogs :)

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.
This is resonating deeply with me today. People have constantly been blocking the ramp out of my apartment lately and it makes me feel like I am not worth the effort. I'm glad there are still people who think otherwise
It has been a hot minute since I last designed an OC for a fandom instead of just for my own universe but the crk brainrot was too strong.
So I'm here to introduce Empress Elderberry Cookie, Ruler of the Bramble Empire just outside of Crispia! I'll give you guys more of her lore later and probably more art but for now just know that this lovely lady can not let go of the past for the life of her.
I'm finally back!!! I made a whole ass game while I was gone, which I will talk about soon, but now...
~❤Happy Valentines Day!!❤~
Whether your single or in a relationship, I hope you have an amazing day and indulge in some love and/or self-love :D This piece was done for a Valentines Day art trade! The characters belong to @echoarts ! Go check them out, their art is super adorable!
~~❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤~~
Everyone come check out this awesome artist!! Look they drew my girls!
Ahhh I really do love this so so much thank you! :D
Why are you pretending to be a wheelchair user ://
Pretending? Ok so I'm just going to answer this to clear things up for anyone who might not understand.
I'm not pretending to need a wheelchair, I do, but sadly those things are damn expensive so I can't afford one at this time. I have fibromyalgia and many other issues that make my mobility pretty low so most days I can barely leave the house from the pain I'm in and how exhausted I am, a wheelchair would greatly assist me if I had one. So, I decided as a form of wish fulfilment to give my digital persona a wheelchair since I currently can't access one.
I hope this explains it because I don't want anyone thinking I'm pretending to be disabled or anything like that. :)
tumblr irl meetup but we won't say who is who, instead you get a list of all the blog urls that are attending and you have to try to match each person with their blog. You can ask questions but you can't ask for the blog name directly.
it's like crime dinner but instead you gather clues by observing who laughs at which dick jokes.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.
Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription
Me: My pills make me not want to die tho
They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal
Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills
Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills
Me: I’m the alive version of me
An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”
Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic
They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”
Me: “So?”
Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!
Thanks to the pills.
Meanwhile, no person ever: “You should think about giving up your insulin/antiretrovirals/beta blockers/anti-rejection drugs/prosthetic legs/daily multivitamin, because using those your whole life is bad for some reason”
Oh no, they do that too.
I have a kidney transplant. A woman once told me she didn’t believe in organ transplants and that people should just die when they’re meant to.
Sounds like a great set-up for a murder
People who are fully healthy, fit and neurotypical seem to think they are that way because they’re doing something right that the rest of us haven’t thought of, and not just because they got lucky
Speaking of the luck of the non-disabled…I once terrorized a Karen who was using me to teach her entitled kid that disabled people are Other and should not be treated with respect. I told her (truthfully) that until I was twenty-eight, I wasn’t visibly disabled. Then a defective chromosome that I hadn’t known about kicked in. So my luck ran out. But until then, I had been normal–just…like…her.
The sheer terror on her face as the concept of “You mean I’ve just been lucky so far?” seeped into her brain was a thing of beauty.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“You are one stroke of bad luck, common viral illness, or traumatic event away from being just like me” is honestly the most terrifying thing you can tell an abled person - and you should. I was healthy and fit and doing everything ‘right’ too - right up until some inner switch flipped and my body crumbled right out from under me.
