#magical disabled person

Dear people who aren't physically disabled who plan to write fantasy settings:
[ID: Several images taken from the Geordi La Forge yes and no meme format, with Geordi holding out a hand disapprovingly for the no section, then pointing in approval for the yes section.
The first image is the meme:
No: "Saying the existance of magic in your setting means there are no disabled people (this literally just means disabled people are killed. AKA eugenics)"
Yes: "Having disabled people who use magical mobility aids and other assistive devices. Realizing that someone is still disabled even if their prosthetic arm is made of magic instead of plastic."
This is followed by four more panels of yes section:
"Geordi la Forge is still literally disabled. His visor helping him does not erase his disability and make him magically abled."
"Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender is still literally disabled even though her Earthbending helps her. It does not make her disability ~magically~ go away."
"Having your disability be accomodated does not mean the disability goes away. Having a prosthetic hand, even one that's made of magic, does not mean you're not disabled."
"Magical mobility aids do not mean disabled people don't exist. It just means they use magical mobility aids instead of plastic or metal ones. A limb made of magic is still a prosthetic even if it's made of the soul of the universe instead of plastic and metal."
Then another no panel: "'There's no disabled people beacuse magic'".
Then one last yes panel: "'Magic helps disabled people in a variety of ways'".
End ID.]
This also applies to science fiction; just because Luke Skywalker's prosthetic hand is super advanced doesn't mean it's no longer a prosthetic, or that he's not disabled. Same with Darth Vader - just because he has a suit that lets him breathe and walk around doesn't mean he's not disabled. (And Star Wars' propensity for making the villains visibly disabled while the heroes disabilities get covered up by super advanced prosthetics is a topic that deserves its own post, especially with how ableist some of the authors of the books are. Troy Denning is especially ableist)
Edit:
Because people keep being fucking obnoxious and ableist in the tags, yes,,, motherfuckers, if you refuse to have disabled people in your setting, that does make you fucking ableist. If you say that the magic is used to cure all disabled people and that's why they don't exist, that's fucking eugenics.
You cannot ""cure"", more like remove all disabilities without fucking eugenics. Magically automatically destroying disabled fetuses (a very fucking popular trope!) is eugenics.
The only way to fucking "cure" autism is to fucking kill all autistic people, also known as eugenics!
What about people with PTSD? Do you just fucking brainwash them so they aren't traumatized anymore?
Do you force all Deaf people to be able to hear? Do you force all blind people to be able to see? Do you force all anosmics to be able to smell?
Do you magically force everyone with a speech impediment to speak to your standards?
Do you force everyone born with bodily or facial differences to live up to your fucking standard of beauty?
You cannot fucking say "disablities don't exist in this universe because magic cures everything" without inherently saying that eugenics exists in your fucking universe.
Not all fucking disabilities need a cure. If you ""cured"" my autism I'd just be fucking dead. You'd literally just be changing me into what you think is fucking acceptable.
Stop fucking arguing in defence of ableists on my fucking post so you can pretend that eugenics has never been written about in magical settings when it is extremely fucking prevalent.
And while we're fucking at it, let your gods damned characters become disabled over the course of their story, and call them disabled within the fucking story. I don't care if they're a robot. I don't care if they have magic. Not all fucking damage can be fixed. Curses exist. Hardware can go out of fucking date and no longer be manufactured anywhere.
Let your characters become disabled and do not magically fucking cure them back to brand new every single time they get hurt. The only thing you accomplish by doing that is destroying any chance of ever having stakes.
No, "magical healing leaves scars on the mind from the memory of the injuries though!!!!" is not fucking good enough. Let your characters have scars. Let them become disabled. Stop being fucking ableist cowards.
Edit number fucking 2:
No, motherfuckers, you do not get to comment "if the disability was caused by magic it's not ableist to cure it with magic". You are the ableist this post is about. Shut the absolute fuck up, stop treating being disabled as the worst possible outcome, and just admit you're a fucking ableist. If you don't want your characters to become disabled, then don't fucking make them disabled.
[ID: The Garfield "you are not immune to propaganda" meme, now edited to read:
"If your first thought upon reading this post is, 'Oh, but it's okay to magically cure disabilities caused by magic!' Congrats…you are the exact sort of ableist jackass this post is about."
End ID.]
Edit number fucking 3:
Autistic people exist! People who are born with disabilities exist! You cannot create a setting where disabled people do not exist because we're all "cured" or "fixed" and not inherently say that you are killing disabled people as soon as they're born, or fucking aborting us as soon as you figure out we'd be born disabled! That's fucking eugenics!
There is no way to "cure" autism without eugenics! There is no way to "cure" people with body differences without eugenics! There is no way to make disabled people nonexistant in your setting without eugenics! Thinking you can and should "cure" and "fix" all disabilities IS EUGENICS!
Also:
[ID: A character shouting at the camera, now edited to read:
"Shut up about Dungeons and Dragons! Shut up about Dungeons and Dragons! If the rules of Dungeons and Dragons are ableist, then fucking change them! It is your fucking personal responsability to be a better person than your bigoted society wants you to be!".
End ID.]
[ID: White text on a dark brown background with white and black borders around the edges, that reads:
"I don't fucking know or care about Dungeons and Dragons.
This post is not about Dungeons and Dragons.
Do not fucking throw the rulebook of Dungeons and Dragons at me like it's some sort of 'Gotcha!'.
You will literally just be blocked like the rest of the ableist assholes who've already tried it.
If you play dungeons and dragons, it's your responsability to make your games not be ableist, even if it means breaking the rules.".
End ID.]
I do not fucking care what the ableist rules are in Dungeons of Dragons. Do not fucking throw ableist rules for a game I have never and will never play at me on a post I made so that people could learn how to make their settings less ableist. If the rules in Dungeons and Dragons are ableist, then fucking change them. If you don't want to change them, then stop fucking playing an ableist game.
Disabled people deserve to see ourselves represented in fiction just like everyone else, without any fucking requirements that we be "cured" or "fixed" before the story ends.
How the fuck would you feel if a trans and gay character's whole story revolved around going on a quest to become straight and cis, did so, and only then was allowed to live happily ever after?
Why do you fucking think suggesting people write stories about disabled people going on a quest to be cured because it's the only way they'll ever be happy is any less fucking offensive?
Also:
This post is NOT a place for you to talk about how disabled people in fiction should have the option of curing their disabilities. It's just not. That's the fucking default for this society. That is not a revolutionary concept. It's not novel. We fucking know this society wants us gone. A post about how disabled people deserve representation is not the place to talk about how "Well, actually, in fiction disabled people should be cured!" Like that's not the fucking universal default???????????
Edit #4:
Everyone needs to stop tagging this singing praise for Fullmetal Alchemist. A story that uses disability as a punishment and the characters are on a quest to cure their disabilities is not the amazing representation you're all claiming it is just because the character who is only disabled because of DIVINE PUNISHMENT uses prosthetics.
Read this post, and this one. Fullmetal Alchemist is a hell of a lot more ableist than you people are letting on.
guess what you can now find a PDF version of this post on the web archive.
Edit #5! August 23rd, 2023!
A) Everyone. Disabilities that can only exist in the magical setting are still disabilities.
Trying to cure the younger brother's magical disability of being a soul floating around in a magical suit of armour is, in fact, going on a quest to heal a disability!
It doesn't matter if the older brother doesn't want to get his limbs back when they're going on a quest to heal the younger brother's disability! Especially when they BOTH get magically healed at the end!
Magical disabilities that can only exist in that setting, but not real life, are still disabilities, and it's not okay to magically heal them either! What part of the Garfield meme on this post did you all choose to ignore?!
B) When you leave tags on a post you are reblogging, the original poster can see them! When you leave tags on this post, I can see them!
If you think this post is ""too aggressive"" then simply do not reblog it! Don't fucking tone police me on a post I've had to edit five times now due to the constant ableism people have been commenting since I made it!
I have been called the R slur by multiple people in response to this post! People have literally reblogged this post to defend eugenics abortions! You can't see these comments or replies anymore because I blocked the poster!
If you think minorities are being too aggressive by responding appropriately to bigotry, you're a bigot! And you should either not reblog the post at all, or at the very least, shut the fuck up and not tone police us!
Do not fucking put tags on this post complaining I'm being too aggressive! That's called tone policing and you're a bigot if you do it! Don't fucking do it on anyone else's posts either! They can see your tags too!
C) When I fucking say Harry Potter fans are banned from this post, yes, this means YOU!
Either stop supporting a billionaire who's literally using the profits from her bigoted shittily written books to fund REAL FUCKING GENOCIDE, or fuck off!
By continuing to support the Harry Potter series, you are literally giving JK Rowling free fucking advertising! You are encouraging more people to read the series and watch the movies, spending more money and giving her more fucking money with which to LITERALLY SHAPE A COUNTRY'S LAWS TO COMMIT GENOCIDE. She is literally fucking fighting to make being trans illegal! She is literally fucking fighting to have even more of autistic people's rights taken away!
You cannot fucking be a fan of the Harry Potter series in 2023 and call yourself an ally to all the minorities harmed by JK Rowling and the bigotry baked into her shitty series!
Read another book! The Web Archive has tons you can read for free! Literally every single book on gutenberg.org/ is free! Including audiobooks for some of them!
If you write Harry Potter fanfiction, simply fucking get rid of the names and identifiable features and start writing original fiction instead! It's literally free!
Not supporting a literal fucking genocidal billionaire costs LITERALLY NOTHING! And if you refuse to fucking stop supporting JK Rowling, which is what you are doing when you support the Harry Potter series and squeal over her OCs, you are not an ally to any fucking minority! No! Not even if you're trans yourself!
= = =
Edit again Nobember 28th 2023 because this comment is just. such a perfect example for all of you that think this doesn't happen.
butter-whore2 said, two hours before this edit:
kind of a fan of tumblr's slightly more algorithmically elements for reminding me of the hell's other people construct for themselves but this one hits like five of the boxes. How do people do this to themselves? it's such a bizarre way to act over media I genuinely do not believe is capable of stirring an emotional response
the metaphysics of disability here are unintentionally really funny but disability is not a coherent ontological framework, it's a vague descriptor for literally thousands of different things none of which lend themselves to categorizing
Moralizing over fiction is incredibly lame.
Liking harry potter is also incredibly lame, it's not morally wrong nor transphobic and you do not get to decide that lol.
people literally do get "cured" of their disabilities all the time, many of them have a positive experience in doing so.
this is not what eugenics is.
the anti abortion stuff lol
Literally how do you live like this? you guys don't even read real books I don't get it.
Archived version of the comment for posterity.
So yeah, lofl, block this fucker.

house’s cane is grotesquely underutilised sexual style in fanfics considering that 1) it’s a long phallic object that he is constantly handling and 2) he straight up joked about fucking wilson with it that one time
#I mean that’s not even my thing personally but like cmon#sick of fanfics where house’s disability is magically healed/not mentioned/ignored to an unrealistic extent#it’s not about what you can do for the infarction so much as what it can do for YOU#it makes me wonder if we all watched the same show#I watched house slam a man against the wall and hold him there by the cane to his throat and I was never the same#house md#hilson#house/wilson#gregory house#james wilson#greg house#hatecrimes md#hornyposting#oh also don’t forget the time wilson grabbed it in that deleted scene as a power move. insanity#I was at the national portrait gallery today and I saw a painting of a king w/ his sceptor and I had a Realization#idc if it’s cringe... a big stick is simply an evolved packer. that shit is HOT

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it
#theres no peace#every little thing reminds me we are poor#seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time#im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly#the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job#and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support#and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money#because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live#its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin#time#cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for#sorry for the ranting i cant sleep#truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin#more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful#i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it#i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things#spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income#not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

not to be a bitch, but it's feeling more and more like the fandom is reducing/has reduced Hunter to just being Willow's boyfriend Caleb, and nothing else lately.
#toh critical#anti huntlow#remember when hunter was his own person?#and not just caleb 2.0 or willow's bf?#those were the days#and no i will NEVER get over how the show treated him#his best friend dies to magically cure him of his disability and now suddenly the girl he likes sees him as more than a friend#seems pretty sus to me#not to be a hunter stan but goddamn the show did him fucking dirty#you know what willow also deserves better#they both deserve better#i love them separate but hate them as a couple

Just a heads up, I might remove my Accidental MerDer comic from Webtoon due to a few extremely persistent people being complete assholes who forget that some of us don’t have teams of people who work on the comic, and who are disabled/chronically ill and can’t keep up pace with the bullshit ‘Webtoon schedule’ because it’s unhealthy for even able bodied people.
It’s truly wild to me, also, that I have almost 4K people who bookmarked and are reading it, and yet virtually no Patreons or kofis from that group at all. These people are complaining that I don’t update fast enough… for a comic… they get for fucking free.
I genuinely hate what has happened to webcomics.
#accidental merder#webcomic#Webtoon#webcomics#disability#just uh#fuck that#I would say it’s only a few and they shouldn’t ruin other’s enjoyment of the comic there#but omg I’ve had to block like 20 accounts#half of them being the same person just making new ones#to harass me#to make pages faster#or something about an evil org after magic users in the real world that I need to look out for#I genuinely did not want to get into whatever the fuck that conspiracy theory was about#but they also kept demanding I update faster so I can join the Webtoon whatever#anyway#it doesn’t seem to be an issue here or on patreon#so thank you

Every single day I PRAY that Andrealphus doesn't get his blindness healed.
I HATE THAT TROPE!!!!!!! let the man be disabled and happy omg
#whb#whb andrealphus#pls whb..... dont do this to him....#this might sound like i hate andrealphus but no i love him#i just hate the “magically healed disability trope” for several reasons#one being that it kinda gives the impression that a character or person cannot be happy and disabled#and that could be extra strong with Andrealphus because they could have this healing thing happen at the same time as him giving up revenge#i would rather see a man live a life working eith his blindness then just have the world and story disregard it#maybe because of the experiences of ny family but ya

I’m definitely not crying over the authors note at the end of BitterBlue where the author acknowledges that earlier in the series she disabled one of her characters just to immediately magic cure him and when writing a later book had someone to consult with about if she could get around said magic cure and have him still be disabled character so she could show him being whole and happy while also being disabled
#‘it didn’t occur to me; until it was too late; that I had disabled Po; then given him a magical cure for his disability#‘thus implying that he couldn’t be a whole person and be disabled. I now understand that the magical cure trope is all too common in#‘[Fantast]/[Science Fiction] writing and is disrespectful to people with disabilities. My failings here are all my own’#that last sentence fucking hurt#‘my failings here are all my own’#bitterblue#graceling#graceling realm#Kristin Cashore

I'll be fine I just need to apply my healing and protection runes (gets out a roll of KT tape)
#personal#disability#science is magic we understand etc#side note I want to see more fantasy where people are annoyed about the staples of their everyday life as it relates to magic#runes as a physical marker of chronic illness treatments#a kid that is mildly allergic to the ink solution they use to apply runes with so they try to sneak off to the field trip without it#someone who hates how they clash with their complexion or someone that tries to avoid getting recognizable runes hidden while incognito#or someone who wears it as a fashion statement as a signal of wastefulness of the nobility#and scenes with complaints and irritation when they have to apply it even though they're tired and want to go to bed#there's even ship fodder: imagine the embarrassment someone could have while getting them applied by a love interest#just a lot of potential to be had there

As a disabled spoonie witch, often on my low spoon days, I simply ponder and reflect upon my practice.
Just thinking about things keep them fresh in my mind.
That way I'm ready to jump right back in when I have the spoons.
I get a lot of new ideas this way, too.

y'all really have got to sit on your ass and think about why people make things, and whether it's worth shooting down what they've made or not lol.
i just saw a multitude of posts shooting down correspondence lists. and like, maybe it's my fatigue speaking but i feel the witchcraft community would be a lot safer if you spoke out with such conviction against actual issues. i promise there are more dangerous things out there than something people create to be helpful.
especially towards those with difficulty reading, short attention spans, memory issues, whatever will make personal research a huge challenge. while likely not the intention, correspondence lists do help keep vital information accessible towards a good amount of disabled folk. and once again, people have an issue with that, surprise.
#bun talks#i make correspondence lists to be helpful towards ANYONE who can't do the work for whatever reason#plus i'm usually in that field of people myself. i can't read well and most would jump on that to say i shouldn't#be a witch for that lmfao#anyway#maybe question why people do magic a certain way (again)#i feel like i'm the only person saying 'can people stop shitting on disabled ways of doing things?' (again)

Bit of a personal post. I just love that there is this new garden kinda game we have now. It makes me so happy
I used to live in the country side, and took care of gardens. But because of deteriorating health, we had to move to the city. Easier on my body, and closer to the doctors
So something small like this makes me really happy
When you are bed bound a lot, you don’t get to do much. Being able to take care of plants again is making me really happy
Especially magical plants, that grow quickly, and in my own little magical home
It’s nice. I miss this. I miss a lot of things, but you learn to appreciate small things like this
I miss being ‘alive’ if you will. But, I’m a stubborn thing. I’ll find a way, and look at that. I did, didn’t I?

I was thinking about how the seapony magical girl levitates as default because I couldn't think of another good way for her to get around, which moved my mind over to the topic of wheelchairs and if she were a wheelchair user. I like the idea of a magical girl whose wheelchair transforms as part of her outfit (if it's an extension of her body it should change too after all)
I felt like this idea probably isn't a /good/ one, at least in this context, so I did a little bit of reading trying to find wheelchair users' opinions about this topic. It's one of those things where I felt vaguely uncomfortable with it but couldn't pinpoint why persay.
I found this post discussing positive disability rep and I think the sticking point is that it seems very plot-convenient that the seapony main character also happens to already have a useful wheelchair for her transformation. I also generally feel like having her transform into a legless magical seapony might have some negative implications or be trope-y. After all, I reverse-engineered wheelchair idea from her not being able to walk in seapony form.
Most of the other advice discusses the exact disability, doing research on it to properly represent it, etc. My idea for the wheelchair route would be that she's an ambulatory wheelchair user/has some use of her legs, but I don't have anything more specific than that. Maybe her disability could sort of tie in with her magical water abilities; my understanding is that people with chronic pain, joint issues and some other conditions can sometimes swim as a safe form of physical exercise. So she could particularly enjoy being in water regularly for that reason. But I'm not actually sure if that is actually good representation, or it ties in too well?
Anyways, I'm not planning on actually making the takara ponies into a story, but I was exploring these concepts and I wanted to post the concept art and ask other people their thoughts.
If anyone feels like offering their opinion on the ideas in this post, please feel free to comment.
#magical girls#wheelchair using characters#writing disabled characters questions#my little pony#seapony#in case youre wondering what her personality is like all the ponies are pretty one dimensional rn#so far she is the Rarity trope in that she is elegant and fashionable and thats all

The idea that Bran doesn’t want Winterfell shows they haven’t read Mr ‘I’m the prince. I’m the Stark in Winterfell.’s chapters. Even if he does somehow end up king of the 7k he’s going to need to rule from Winterfell. When we say he’s the North’s King Arthur it isn’t hyperbole. It’s not about muh favorite needing a crown, his connection to Winterfell and the North as a whole is such an important part of his story but the fandom, including stark fans who claim to love him, completely ignore it.
I know it's mostly because the show handled Bran's character so poorly, but it is insane to me that Bran becoming King in any capacity is seen as ridiculous by the majority of fandom. While he is far from being the character with the most leadership experience, he was the Stark in Winterfell and spent an entire book learning about his duties as such. The groundwork is there. And even without that, like you said, he has an incredibly strong connection to Winterfell. The show just...entirely erased that part of his character so that Sansa would have less competition. None of the characters becoming a leader is about having a crown as a status symbol either. That's definitely going to be different in the books.
As for him becoming the King of the 7K, I do actually think there's a chance he could end up ruling from KL. It's hard to base off the show because they did such a godawful job but I think it could happen. There is so much for Bran's character with Winterfell though that I think he has to have a least one big moment there before the story ends.
#ask#anon#bran stark#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#genuinely the characters most likely to become leaders in the end are the ones fandom swears have no chance lol#and people swear he either won't want it or he can't because he's disabled which is nothing but straight up ableism#I get debating on whether or not he becomes king in the north or of the 7k but it's happening in some capacity either way#personally I can see him being king of the 7k and I do believe that part came from George and d+d just did a horrible job of adapting it#cause they didn't care about his character or the magical plot at all#He is heavily connected to Winterfell but also to /Summer/ and being the one to bring it so#people dismiss his importance so much and it's wild

Ah, Trumpet Vine. My arch nemesis; an incredibly aggressive native plant that I've had nothing but problems controlling since we moved in with my In Laws. It's literally everywhere here. You can't get away from it. And while they complain about it a lot, too, they continue to refuse to use chemical treatment (the only way to get rid of it).
It is pretty in its own way, however. And all the little birds love to nest in it. Still, there are better plants that could be grown, that aren't half as aggressive (American Passionflower, Coral Honeysuckle, and American Wisteria are three great equally native options that are far less aggressive than the various varieties of North American Trumpet Vine that exist).
