What would your OC do if they woke up in their BFFs body? (please keep it SFW)

Alicia would definitely be super uncomfortable at first, and she would have a hard time adjusting because he's paralyzed from the knees down. She hasn't learned even the basics of living that way, and she also has never experienced being assisted through her daily routine, including bathing by strangers (caregivers) so she would probably freak out. If she had it her way she just wouldn't bathe, cuz that's how she exists like, 5 out of 7 days a week anyway, but Kattar would be furious when he got back to his body if she forced him to stay nasty.

Kattar: Would probably really appreciate being able to walk again without a walker, but he would have a definite dilemma when it came to baths. In general, dirty things are just begging him to clean them, and both Alicia and her house get just a little bit on his nerves. Cleaning the house, yes, but maybe you shouldn't bathe in your friend's bodies.

Bobbie and R.J. are best friends, so if they woke up in each other's bodies..

Bobbie's completely deaf and R.J. uses hearing aids, so Bobbie would be really shocked at being able to hear. I'm sure it'd take a lot of getting used to. He'd probably find it strange to be so short, too

R.J. would also find it weird to be completely deaf. He'd have to have people use ASL or write things down for him since he cant lipread. He'd probably like living with David (Bobbie's brother) though. Bobbie's house is pretty nice compared to his own so he'd be living it up xD

Check out "Signs Point to Bobbie" if you'd like a slice of life with these characters!

Oof, I felt that short joke personally.

But I meant to ask you about this story. Are you part of the deaf community or hearing impaired yourself, or did you simply imagine your characters this way when you wrote the story? I don't see a lot of stories including people with deaf, or blind, or disabled people as MCs, so I was curious.

As a short person myself...I'd love to switch with Bobbie for a day

And I'm actually hearing! I made these characters back in high school when I was in a big "let's make some OCs" kick lol. I realized I never made any characters with disabilities so I wanted to broaden my horizons a bit. And over the years I've learned a lot about the deaf/HOH communities

Ah, I'm a bit similar. I'm not disabled, though I do have an autoimmune disease, which only one character I've written suffers from. The inspiration for my including more disabled characters I think came from supporters I gained on one of my social media channels, nearly all of which have a disability of some sort, be it spina-bifida, sickle cell anemia, XYZ. I wanted to see more disabled people/characters get an opportunity to shine as protagonists, especially in romances, since they seem to usually be reserved for support roles.

Eliza: immediately throw out all of Ruby's boring clothes and replace them with gaudy, bright colorful ones she paid for with her (Eliza's) own money, as a "gift"

Ruby: immediately go find wherever Eliza-now-as-herself-Ruby is to make sure she doesn't wreak havoc in her body/get her fired.

Keanu (in Rose's body) - "Discover the wonders of an unreasonably long hairstyle and judging from her chest size, learn about backpain as well."
Rose (In Keanu's body) - "I'm cutting his dumbass bangs."
Leon (in Niya's body) - "I'd finally be tall!"
Niya (In Leon's body) - "Enjoy wearing less clothes. N...Not is a creepy way! The tattoos on my body cause me to affect the ground unconsciously, so I have to keep them covered at all times. It would be nice to take a bath without causing an earthquake whenever I sneeze."

an unreasonably long hairstyle

Considering that Andrew and Jinho both live together and own a company together, nothing much would change. they'd do all the same work, but in each other's bodies, though I admit, Jinho's hands are probably a little bit delicate and sensitive, so carpentry would be uncomfortable in his body at first.

Definitely a freaky fryday for these fryers XD:

Well, I assume Bucky(as Friar) would not do anything to raise his station and earn his place back as an outcast/bum of the coop.

Friar(as Bucky) would consider it a miracle (or curse) from Halaka, and would compulsively wash himself until he felt forgiven, then resume his duties as, well, himself.

Everyone in the coop would be eternally confused by seeing Bucky crowing and Friar lazing about XD

Not really her bff yet, but will be!

Violet would be confused at first, before she realizes that shes Human she doesnt have to hide around and can just.. do what she wants!

Rose however would freak out. Everything would be so much bigger than her and she would be as big as her hand was before the swap soooo, terrified.
