my favorite thing is when creators dish out random info about their characters that has no real value… that’s not sarcasm. i truthfully love knowing little, useless tidbits like “hey! this character wears a size seven shoe. isn’t that neat” in the sincerest way possible. thank you for that. it is neat. i enjoy it. it’s good
I stand atop a mountain precipice, hand raised aloft in defiance. If there is a god up there somewhere, I dare it to smite me down! Fury like lightning in my veins, I scream, just once. Just once would I like to be able to shave my legs without accidentally reenacting the death of Achilles.
My favorite from day one. He’s a selfish man. I bought the game in a blind haze of Laezel simping. Watched her intro and within the hour I was in the character creator making her a girlfriend. And within the next hour I had forgotten who Laezel was because this prick decided to be an attention hog.
Someone told me that my outfit today made me look like a world-weary Irish fisherman ready to impart my wisdom onto a lost traveller, and honestly? They just set the bar for any and all clothing compliments HIGH, people.
Gah i would pay hard cash money for a cochlear implant that would let me hear things outside of the normal human range of hearing, BUt also come with an on/off switch for that same feature.
I don't want normal-person hearing, I want to have spy-movie-listening-device level hearing.
What able bodied authors think I, an amputee and a wheelchair user, would want in a scifi setting:
Tech that can regenerate my old meat legs.
Robot legs that work just like meat legs and are functionally just meat legs but robot
Literally anything that would mean I don't have to use a wheelchair.
If I do need to use a wheelchair, make it fly or able to "walk me" upstairs
What I actually want:
Prosthetic covers that can change colour because I'm too indecisive to pick one colour/pattern for the next 5+ years.
A leg that I can turn off (seriously, my above knee prosthetic has no off switch... just... why?)
A leg that won't have to get refitted every time I gain or loose weight.
A wheelchair that I can teleport to me and legs I can teleport away when I'm too tierd to keep walking. And vice versa.
In that same vein, legs I can teleport on instead of having to fiddle around with the sockets for half an hour.
Prosthetic feet that don't require me to wear shoes. F*ck shoes.
Actually accessible architecture, which means when I do want to use my wheelchair, it's not an issue.
Prosthetic legs with dragon-claw feet instead of boring human feet or just digigrade prosthetics that are just as functional as normal human-shaped ones.
A manual wheelchair with the option to lift my seat up like those scissor-lift things so I'm not eye-level with everyone's butt on public transport/so I can reach the top shelf by myself.
A prosthetic foot that lights up when it hits the ground like those children's shoes.
