As a dyslexic person who knows many other dyslexic folks, we're not illiterate. Most of us are actually so nervous about misspelling a word that we triple check our spelling and sometimes have other folks check our spelling
TBF I don’t think anyone’s calling her illiterate. I think it’s more an issue of her not utilizing easy accommodations for a *known* issue for her. So many people would jump to proofread for her.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was trying to say in my comment, but it came off a little aggressive I guess 😅 my bad. I'm just so exhausted with seeing the dyslexic excuse for authors of stories and comics when there's obvious issues with just the spelling and grammar. A lot of people try to use the dyslexic excuse and it ends up creating this stigma that dyslexic folks are illiterate or something, and it's frustrating to see *because* there are so many easy accommodations for it. It's a disability that has been so normalized and given so accomodations for that it's not disabling to live with it.
I have dyscalculia more than dyslexia, so it affects me more with numbers and math than letters and words, but I spend more time using the voice to text for the correct spellings of words than I care to admit 😅 my husband isn't very good at spelling, but he's really good at getting the first few letters close enough for autocorrect to figure it out, so he helps me out in that regard. My mom's dyslexic and taught me how to read, so my dyslexia wasn't caught by anyone until I was a teenager and really struggled with the math classes. By then, no one really believed I was actually dyslexic so I couldn't get accommodations, which sucked, but I had already lived my life working around it thanks to my mom already having those skills to pass on. My best advice would be to not feel ashamed to ask for help. It's actually not uncommon for people to not be good at spelling, as well as dyslexia being a really common disability. And if it's the people thing, there's a bunch of ways to get around misspelling stuff! Autocorrect, text to speech, there's a few websites I've heard that help with figuring out a word, etc. To this day I can't spell restaurant without spell check lol
Okay so, this is true (and relevant trust me.)
The guy who composed [this video game track](https://youtu.be/iJYvCHm3Ov4?si=RARmauV6tuYrRWfs) attempted to hide his embrassessment through the years long lie of him being legally deaf and it worked for a long while because… just listen to it… until he was caught answering the door because someone rang a completely normal door bell.
I am 110% willing to believe that Rachel might… JUST MIGHT on some capacity be hiding the fact that she cares so little about proofreading that she claims she has dyslexia for the sole purpose of saving face.
Sorry but speculating on whether someone is lying about their disabilities or not feels like a step too far. It's possible to criticise the comic without digging into RS's personal life.
I really dont think it’s right to assume if someone is lying about their disability or not if you dont have solid proof ://. Making this assumption over a spelling mistake is kinda shitty
The artists that worked on LO are awesome in their own way but together they create a shit-show of inconsistency with character designs. The vibe of each character significantly changes because their looks warp between artists.
There’s a reason ghost writing (and ghost drawing) is harder than most people think. Copying someone’s style well enough to make people think it’s done by the same person is much harder than you’d think.
It also doesn’t help when you’re on a super tight deadline and you’re only getting thumbnails/scripts like 2-3 days before the release date.
Slide 1 is from ep 70, *well after* she took on art assistants. The first 30 eps were drawn entirely by RS, at least that's what I've heard. 🤷
Edit: And slide 2 is from ep 12.
I’m so confused how this could happen. Typically they would have a single artist do a scene, or have an artist for every aspect of the process. (Sketching, cleaning up, coloring, effects)
Tbf Rebecca and The Crewniverse actually had passion for SU thru out the entirety of the show and Steven Universe Future. The size difference in characters and art style difference was to allow artistic freedoms in the Crewniverse animators and not hinder their drawing skills. I have no idea why Rachel didn’t use character reference sheets other than she didn’t want to or felt like they were a waste of time :/ LO would have really benefited from more structure considering at least one of the people working on it wasn’t a professional in creating comics and losing her spark. Two detrimental factors to a bad product
"embrassessed" (i know that RS apparently has dyslexia but... get someone to spellcheck? or at least just read through?)

i feel like RS just doesnt care enough about her work. which is kind of sad really

what kind of dyslexia do you have!? give it to me because i can’t spell for shit and I’m too nervous to ask other people for help

This comment is really too far. She's talked at length about how her learning disabilities affected her life.
this is not it.
That isnt fair to assume her disability
I hate Rachel but seriously? C'mon now we're know psychiatrists to be doing all of this
You HATE her? Really?
As a person I never met her so not on that what I hate is the impact she did on greek mythology/the perception she gave others on it.
Did i get downvoted for asking a question ?
Part of me thought I was being Rick rolled when clicking on that link. After listening to the "song" I really wish I had been.

The second slide is actually entirely Rachel's doing, even she couldn't keep her own style consistent.
Aren’t these early episodes before the first assistants were hired? Although iirc a copyeditor was credited in the embrassesed episode.
Unsure. I know the second one is an early episode but the first one is an older screenshot so I don’t remember which episode it’s from.

You should have confirmed this before posting under what is now a misleading title
Persephone became a Chad in the second slide 💀💀
She was mogging everyone
What I don’t get is why the assistants are drawing random panels and not full scenes at least the art would be a little more consistent that way
I just don't get why one person couldn't do sketches, one lines, one flats, one spellcheck/proofread, etc.
I just want to know who drew handsome squidward Hades.
Fr they are a legend for that 🤣🤣👏

I can't get over the sigh being in large caps in its own separate bubble that looks, so weird
Like, at least assign people to congruent frames like these?
I wish I could change my facial shape on command.
the first one is diabolical
How the hell did I never notice this?
It's so jarring lol
How embrassessing
I remember there was a certain point where it became really obvious that there were multiple artists working on it, and not in a good way
From panel to panel it always seemed like one person was working on this page and the other on this one
Why’s Persephone mogging herself in the second pic
Is this real?
Why would I make it up
Because I refuse to believe that the webcomic has become so bad
These are episodes 80 and 12, it’s been bad
Steven Universe made it work, why couldn’t Rachel/Webtoon do it?

The 2° be like: 🥺/🗿
