I’ve always sorta wanted to make a horror movie that uses visual and not auditory cues to build suspense and tension. I feel like you could do a lot with color and lighting (red light when danger is around?) (Idk I’m not a filmmaker). What do you think of this thought? Would you want to see a visual horror movie?

Hello, honestly, I am not the best person to ask, since I usually avoid horror media. (but i know plenty of deaf people who love it, its not universal lol) I think it would be tricky to make but interesting project. Too many bright/weird lights can be a negative thing, since it can strain eyes and/or cause seizures. If you want an example of something I found extremely scary despite playing without sound, it would be game Subnautica. It takes place almost entirely underwater, so sound is muted anyway and you cant use the traditional scary sounds. But there is darkness all around you, huge mons ..read more

Could you explain a little about the difference between PSE (Pidgin Signed English) and ASL (American Sign Language) or at least point me to a scholarly article on that? I know SEE (Signed Exact English) is used more in an educational setting to teach English structure and grammar to a young deaf student, but as they get older, it naturally transforms (for lack of a better term on my end) into ASL. I’m just unsure where and how PSE would fit into the Deaf community as a whole. Thank you.

Hello, lets get some general linguistic info out there first. "pidgin" is a linguistic term. Its not its own language, but a means of communication which emerges when two language speakers meet who don't share a common language. The resulting communication usually contains grammar and vocabulary from both languages in a mix of both. Its also simplified. Additionally, its not anyone's first language they learn from their parents. Pidgin often happened in areas with European traders and/or colonizers and/or slavers. Pidgins can sometimes evolve into "creoles" - meaning they become someone's firs ..read more

So I am making a character for my story, and i’m wondering if it’s offensive to make him easy to scare because of being deaf?

Hello, generally, we are not a writing advice blog, please reach out to @cripplecharacters . I don't find it particulary offensive, i mean... i do get startled easily. But its also very individual, some deaf people are very perceptive and keep their cool in lot of situations. Also, keep in mind that since we cant hear, we are immune to lot of usual "horror" noises which build atmosphere. I know plenty of horror games don't do anything for me, bcs you are supposed to hear weird clicks and sound of footsteps and screams etc, but i don't - and subtitles don't really translate the atmosphere that ..read more

Hello! I am a hearing author but my dad is D/deaf and has a cochlear implant, I am currently writing a deaf character and wanted to give them a CI to pay tribute to him because he is what inspired me to write a deaf character in the first place. But after doing some research on how to write the character I learned that CIs are disliked by the Deaf community for a number of reasons. Should I change the characters aid to something else to avoid any faux pas?

Hello, this is generally not a writing advice blog, I recommend reaching out to @cripplecharacters . Overall, CIs are controversial in Deaf community. That's not to say you should always avoid writing them, its just that its important to do research and think if its suitable for the character in question. I know Deaf people who absolutely hate CIs and would never get them and shun people who have them. I know Deaf people who don't want them for themselves, but are okay with others who have them. I know Deaf people who don't want them but made a decision to give them to their Deaf kids. And I k ..read more

Hello! Your blog is very informative and comprehensive, which I am very appreciative of. I’m not sure if you like to give writing advice very much, because it’s very different from advice for the real world, so please feel free to disregard this question. I’m working on a sci-fi piece involving a character who is losing his hearing. I don’t want to portray this in a way that may be offensive or spread incorrect ideas or stereotypes, but I also want the character to have a complex and..

catmat: Need advice/resources from the Hard of Hearing/Deaf community About me: I was recently diagnosed with moderate hearing loss in one ear from a benign brain tumor and started using an Oticon (receiver in the ear) hearing aid. When I was fitted for my hearing aid, not much info was given to me about how to manage my hearing loss. I was told to read lips more and rely on my eyes rather than ears but that’s about it. My hearing loss happened suddenly and although I knew some info about HoH from being active in the disability community, I regrettably didn’t educate myself more and find mysel ..read more

Do SL speakers use fingerspelled name/name sign to directly address someone, or is it only used to refer to someone in third person?
The Bridge Between Hearing and Deafness

Hello, not really. You use pointing and/or eye contact when addressing someone ("you"). The names are usually only used when introducing yourself or introducing someone into conversation. You don't say "Hey, Amanda!" you say "Hey you! (pointing)" . Its not rude in SL. You also don't say "Hi, Mark!" etc, just "Hi" + look in the eyes of the person. Finger spelling whole name would be unwieldy in conversation. Sign languages use names less in general, I would say. When you are talking in third person about Amanda, you will identify her in the first sentence, then assign her a "place" in the space ..read more
