Be still, don’t speak, don’t lose control of what’s inside you. You can believe you’re not a monster all you want, but to them you’re still seemingly dark.
The Hitchhiker is from my webcomic Seemingly Dark.

You know who never gets brought up when people talk about well written disabled protagonists that should? George Bailey from It’s a Wonderful Life. The man’s completely deaf in one ear, disabled enough to be denied military enlistment during WW2, but he still works hard for his family and his community, even though he has to sacrifice his own dreams to do it, and he’s just a genuinely good man.
Everyone I know has seen this movie but nobody ever talks about him being disabled. It’s not the most important thing in that movie, but it’s also something that can’t be ignored. He lost his hearing saving his brother’s life, it’s the whole reason he stayed home during the war and continued to serve his community instead of becoming a war hero like his brother, his hearing returning is the first sign of Clarence granting his wish to never be born and losing it again is one of the first signs of the wish being reverted. It IS important to his character and his story that he’s disabled, even though it’s not central to the plot, and the way it’s used as a motif in the story pleases me.

The forty-fifth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).
For this chapter, I want to say thanks to my partner for her sage knowledge of religious-community interpersonal skills. So many tiny intricacies of how people interact in religious contexts that I never thought of. I know that’s a bit weird of a note for a chapter that signals the start of a heist, but ex-catholic priests don’t go on heists very often I don’t think.
In front of Thea, voices — mid-argument — pour out of the parking garage's entrance; each word resonates in an odd harmony of anger and hollowness. She wrings a sweat-slicked palm around the handle of her cane. Not even five-thirty and the sun is already slipping below the horizon, casting the streets in a haze of oranges. Damp hair clings to Thea's neck. She runs a finger between her skin and the collar of her cassock, desperate for relief from the heat of the heavy fabric. "Don't be nervous. No, no need to be nervous at all."
A cloud passes in front of the sun and the warm tones surrounding her flicker. She forces a foot forward, then another. One after one tempered by hesitation, like she's bit down on a fishing hook and is trying to escape.
But she can't. She's helpless. Past the threshold, the arguing voices envelope her, echoing off concrete surroundings and hitting her from every angle. Her self-directed pep talk shrinks to a whisper. "You're going to be fine; it'll be over before you know it."
[...]

How do books written over a century ago have more obviously queer characters just existing, chilling, not being judged, described matter of factly, than books from the last decade?
I think they hadn't really decided that homo was contagious, thus figures that included that character detail was about as exciting as being vegetarian.
Any way would highly recommend King's Row by Henry Bellamann, written in 1940, yet somehow feeling so modern that if it came out today it would be considered woke and accused of not being historically accurate.
In this book, set in the 1890s, you'll find a disabled main character that is still loved and cared for by his friends. A condemnation of a christian doctor that purposefully malpracticed innocent people who he considered immoral (one of his victims is MC's friends who are prostitutes,and the book is very clear on who the victim is).
An indeprantly successful black bussiness woman, and the story of her fragile white male lover, who was so distraught at the fact that this black woman was better than him in everyway, he tries to screw her over, failing miserably and cw: killing himself.
One time the other main character unknowingly goes on a date with his gay ass aspiring poet friend, who tries to kiss him under the full moon. MC does not react violently (but is a bit confused), but gently explains that he isn't into that and they continue being friends.
Oh, since the book follows two guys from their childhood to adulthood, the white trash bully kid becomes the sheriff. The book from 1940 is ACAB.
MC's wife is the breadwinner for her family that has her physically disabled MC husband and her autistic brother in it. The brother is treated with more care as a character than most neurodivergent character in today's media.
MC's wife is not some seamstress or other basic 1910s woman's work type job either, she is a real estate developer.
MC becomes a doctor, and after his best friend (other MC) becomes a double amputee (i.e. the disability alluded to before), he is immediately concerned about the depression his friend is now suffering. He treats it like the actual illness it is and there is no judgement from the book or the wife and other characters.
Same wife helped her husband sober up, and note this saint of a woman married him after his accident and after he lost his inheritance. She married a broke, double amputee because she loved him, and the book is very clear that this is the moral correct thing to have done.
I would like to remind you this book came out in 1945, based on the authors experience growing up in his real life hometown.
This book is more progressive than 90% books out today and it's honestly shocking how little progress we've made.
MC1 is an atheist in 1890. This is not treated as something horrible, but just is.
The daughter of the sadistic surgeon that treated his patients so poorly tries to expose him. Gets diagnosed with hysteria, MC1, as a doctor, actually listens to her, investigates her accusations, believes her and attempts to help her.
Note I am leaving out some of the wildest plot elements of the book just for the sake of spoilers. It's genuinely amazing the subjects this book tackles and tackles well considering when it was written.
Also Reagan starred in a film adaptation of it. It was apparently highly censored, dont recommend.
Unfortunately the book isn't in print, I only read it from a random 1945 second edition that I found in a used book store. It's available in ebook format for a dollar.

I just finished Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao last night. I read this book in two days. I couldn't put it down haha.
This book has a historical fantasy setting, ancient china but with giant mechs and magic suits of armor and helicopters and stuff. The protagonist is Wu Zetian, an 18 year old girl who is disabled, unapologetically feminist and sort of a bad ass. Everything in her society is balanced against women and minorities, including the giant mechs that protect their country from the hundun (giant metal pill bug monsters that attack the wall encircling the country). Zetian's sister enlisted in the army, as good as a death sentence for girls, and was murdered by the mech pilot that she was supporting. Zetian swears revenge and will do anything to get it, including sacrificing herself.
This book is non-stop action and drama right from go. Every chapter something exciting happened. It's dealing with some really heavy topics (discrimination, racism, sexism, the prison system, etc), but still keeps a sort of youthful fun YA style to the writing. I think it's a really good example of how heavy topics can be in any type of media, so long as they're set up correctly and dealt with consistently. In the same book where someone gets waterboarded, there's a love triangle, a magical wedding, and a sleeping prince under a volcano. And I was living.
The book does have a warnings page at the beginning of the book, so if you are sensitive to certain topics I do recommend to check that page before reading.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a revenge story, anyone who loves for the drama, people who live a love triangle with a happy ending, giant mechs, badass women, and Chinese history!

I approve. Honestly there's not much to say, this is exactly what I want in a sci fi. Big bad corporations, robot prosthetics, dystopian indenture, AI overseers, space colonies, and at the center: a good ol whodunit
8.5/10

we as a fandom really need to discuss Rick's unaddressed biases a lot more because it's not new, it's gotten worse over the years, and it hasn't gone away with the show and it goes unacknowledged so much. racism, antisemitism, misogyny, aphobia, etc etc. and the fandom isn't any better about it, but add in ableism, homophobia, and particularly biphobia on top of all of that as well. this is something we should be examining and discussing as a community to stop that and do better. it's not hard to do better.

The fifty-fourth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).
Three figures stack behind each other just before a hallway's bend. At the back, Thea's heart races. It threatens to burst free from her chest and take off screaming back toward the loading dock. She keeps a hand planted over her mouth: afraid to breathe despite the sound of retreating footsteps; afraid she'll puke from the vertigo of teleporting.
Ivan leans out and swipes a ball off the ground: an orb made of plastic faces, all set in between shifting seams wide enough to glimpse its hollow insides. Seams that moments ago sent salt spiraling through the air.
Thea shrinks into herself and manages a whisper through nervous chatters. "I-I'm sorry."
With a nod of his pompadour laden head, Ivan slips the ball into his green overalls. "Ain't a problem."
Waylon jerks down two unruly flaps of his wool coat. "It—" His throat convulses in a dry gag and he claps a hand over his mouth. "It isn't a problem?" He finishes.
Each beat of Thea's heart sends a new, anxiety-riddled thought stampeding through her mind: she's not going to get paid; she'll get ditched here, left to fend for herself in a place she barely knows; or they'll kill her and toss her in a lake.
[...]

Any genre of game can have a disabled protagonist if you aren't a coward / willing to put the work in, but I'm currently batting around the concept of specifically point-and-click puzzle adventure games with a highly disabled protagonist.
Often, the pace of such games tends sedate and contemplative. Your character is seldom in a hurry; they are mostly faced by trying to figure out how to accomplish a particular task, and if a deadline is imposed, it's an extra thing to juggle.
This could be an interesting presumption to incorporate from a watsonian lens, through the viewpoint of a protagonist who may have limited mobility, pain and/or fatigue that make hurrying punitively inaccessible. It'd let the player familiarize themselves with early puzzles if the first thing they have to figure out how to do is say, get their player character out of bed in an environment where they don't have their usual fallbacks.
(also if this is also a walking adventure, it'd let you dodge accusations of the insurmountable waist-high fence- your intrepid hero MIGHT be able to climb over those bricks if they didn't have two bad hips and a walker to worry about!)
#writing ruminations#speaking broadly I think there should be way more games that have disabled protagonists and directly incorporate the protagonist's conditio#into game mechanics and structure#like that game Endoparasitic that had the basic premise your character has only one remaining limb (right arm)#and how this affects the structure of everything you have to do#I recall also hearing about a game where you play a blind protagonist navigating a haunted house#where tapping your cane to identify your surroundings is both instrumental and risky as the hostile forces can hear it
