on one hand it's probably for the best that there were no jokes about rainer's disability but on the other hand, rainer absolutely strikes me as a fellow member of the "uses our visible disability for lame puns and prop comedy" gang

#eliot posts #taz #the adventure zone #taz graduation #rainer michelle #seriously i use my hand for the most godawful dad jokes of all time #woodshop teacher: everyone be careful‚ don't wanna lose any fingers! me: TOO LATE #''can we go inside? it's so cold that i feel like i'm gonna lose EVEN MORE fingers''#(when my 'normal' hand is out of commission bc carpal tunnel) ''well i'd offer a helping hand but you'll have to settle for 3/5 of one''#it's a shame that now as an adult my peers don't ask me about what happened very much #(idk if they're no longer curious or if they ARE curious but pussyfooting around it because they don't wanna be rude)#cuz i had some VERY FUNNY responses that i loved to pull out when asked ''what happened to your hand''#usually i'd tell them an obviously bullshit story about sticking my hand in a zoo enclosure or playing w fireworks or someth #and see if they'd call me on it #or the ole ''ACK??? WHEN DID *THAT* HAPPEN???'' *stares in shocked horror at hand*#(eventually followed by the actual truth lol)#i absolutely loved toph from avatar as a kid cuz she handled her disability with the same humour i handled mine with #i know not every disabled person feels the same tho and that's valid too!
