There's a disabled angel in good omens 🥺

#listen im only in episode two and i know there's some drama going down but im focusing on this lol #i love that not only do they show the angel using a wheelchair and being ambulatory #but they also visibly show them miracling innaccessibility issues so that they Can still use the chair #instead of just getting rid of the disability #part of my is conflicted bc im like... there's disabilities in heaven? and that makes Me sad bc my disability is hell and painful as fuck #But getting rid of disability in fantasy is eugenist crap and showing that god made a disabled angel is a net good thing #while it personally makes me sad to think if there was a heaven i could still be in pain all the time #not all disabilites are bad and need to be cured we're a wide spectrum and we've been fighting for disabled rep esp in fantasy for ages #it's objectively good my personal feelings about my own disability aside #part of me thinks it's cliche to say 'you were made perfect' bc they're an angel But it's not we literally havent had this type of rep lol #anyways it made me happy to see #and im so glad it's a power chair user that's ambulatory it's important for abled ppl to see that #anyways y'all keep your drama and spoilers off my post im not far in and im only talking about this shoo #oh also!! love the fantasy hover chair they use in heaven specifically too i wish we had that it kicks ass #p

I'm convinced most sites who publish those "best countries for disabled people" "most accessible countries/cities" type articles have never actually spoken to a disabled person or been to the places they're saying are so great.

So much of the time they'll prattle off a place that is NOT accessible at all, like saying Japan is soooo accessible and one of the Best countries for disabled people because their trains have wheelchair ramps and designated wheelchair spots on the train. But you look at travel posts by wheelchair users and they're like "the trains are the only accessible part of Japan btw most restaurants are on the 2nd or 3rd floor, no elevator, and you have to leave your wheelchair Outside The Building. Everything has steps and the stone paths are inaccessible." Article listed Italy as one of the top 20 disability friendly countries in the world, citing their work to make places accessible, yet I JUST watched an Italian wheelchair user say that Italy is largely inaccessible and he can't live independently there as of 2023.

Like? What is going on. 😭 How exactly are we determining the "accessibility" of such places? Are we just believing the travel brochures or something?

#wheelchair user #cripple punk #.log #I was trying to see what countries give the most disability benefits and are the most accessible just out of curiosity #like if Somewhere in the world there are disabled people living relatively comfortably without having rich parents #or having to fight tooth and nail for everything they have #like...just the basics of your own place w/o being Required to have roommates. Healthcare. You can go places without planning extensively

shoujoposting hours. A few months ago the phrase “biblically accurate wheelchair” floated into my head and I had to create a magical girl design around it.

#magical girl #mobility aids #my ocs #mahou shoujo #disabled characters #character design #wheelchair #disclaimer i am Not a wheelchair user and this is a very fantasy over function design #ever since i watched Yuki Yuna i wanted to try my hand at incorporating a mobility aid into a character's design and powerset #the show has some very Notable problems in how it handles that concept but the idea is there #anyway also follow @gayaest an actually disabled artist who does extremely cute characters with very functional AND aesthetic mobility aids #aca aurelia #aurie has ms and giving her “multiple scars” star stigmata is me being cheeky about it #she IS partially ambulatory it varies day to day #but during fights it's easier for her to hover and UBW enemies from a distance

Fic idea:

Leon left Luis, thinking (fairly reasonably) that he was dead - except he wasn't. Instead, Ada found and extracted him before the facility blows up. Except she doesn't tell Leon. Not immediately at least.

(To spare Leon's feelings if Luis does die from his injuries? To have a bargaining chip? Who knows.)

Now imagine Leon's shock when several months later he is called into a meeting with a shadowy figure in a wheelchair.... Who calls him Sancho.

#resident evil 4 #leon s. kennedy #luis serra #serennedy #i seem to have acquired the re brainrot #anyway luis is a wheelchair user post-game fight me about it. i hc that he can technically walk but it's exhausting so eh

it’s time

for Hate Crimes MD <3

#house md #oh god #greg house #lisa cuddy #gregory house #this utter gremlin of a man.... yes is fighting with an electric wheelchair user for a parking space closer to the door #yes he does raise the valid point that wheelchair does not automatically equal 'more disabled' than a cane user #and that wheelchairs can in fact make users MORE mobile and able than cane users #and that putting a cane user further from the door in icy conditions probably IS more dangerous than the same for a chair user #which is something that really needs to be talked about more #but lemme guess #this is not gonna be at the discrepancy between abled perception of disability needs and actual disability needs #this is gonna be about House being a jerk sdklfgsdhljgsdgf

can someone please tell sims pose makers that we have enough wheelchair poses where someone sits in their lap . we have enough of those and it’s time to make something else i’m literally begging for romantic poses other than “able bodied partner sits in wheelchair user’s lap” did u guys know we can kiss people without them sitting on us?? revolutionary concept. do something else now please :)

#as a disabled person if my gf sat in my lap when i was using a wheelchair we would have to fight #bc if i’m in a chair i’m exhausted and in pain. get the fuck off of me #and it’s just repetitive atp like pack it up guys! we officially have all the poses we need for that specific thing!!!#ALSO I HAVE NEVER SEEN A POSE OF 2 WHEELCHAIR USERS. IT’S ALWAYS ONE ABLE BODIED PERSON DRAPING THEMSELVES IN THE DISABLED PERSON’S LAP #spirit box #sims 4

i also think that maybe ablebodied people (mentally disabled or no) should get more comfortable with access friction/clash. low level lights don't work for me all the time, as i often rely on lipreading to bolster understanding. i prefer it when speaking volume is high, because i can't hear. also, a lot of neurodivergent people prefer a high-sensory environment. on the other hand, people rely on others to mask. this sucks, because again, it's hard for me to hear, but my comprehension is less important than the literal life of an immune-compromised person. your accessibility needs are not the only accessibility needs, and sometimes they will be in direct opposition to the needs of other parts of the community.

#rambles #cpunk #cripple punk #also been turning this one over in my brain.#its just been rlly bothering me to see the influx of posts about sensory needs #sometimes people being included are more important than comfort. it sucks trust me i know as a guy who has hearing problems lol #this is also secondary to like...you know. fighting for wheelchair users to be able to get thru the fucking door

tbh everything about polnareff is literally so sad it depresses me so much

#i mean #his sister got raped and killed #he searched for her murderer and in that process abdul got killed for protecting him #abdul is dead in his eyes but in reality he is not and the other crusaders keep it as a secret from him because they think that he won't be #able to keep his mouth shut about it #(which would make me absolutely furious if someone did that to me tbh. i'm still mad at joseph jotaro and kakyoin for that)#a stand user attacks polnareff and brings his sister back to life but in like a zombie kind of way #judgement brings zombie abdul back too and him and sherry start eating polnareff 😭#then the REAL abdul comes back from the fucking dead and saved polnareff #but polnareff thinks that abdul is an illusion and thinks that he's gonna fucking die god this is so sad #damn the judgement arc is a fucking ride #and then literally everything that happened during the vanilla ice fight #abdul and iggy basically dying for him which leads to polnareff having the worst survivor's guilt #then post stardust crusaders he almost gets killed by that fucker diavolo #falls down a cliff or something loses both of his legs and has to use a wheelchair #fucking DIES but gets swapped during whatever the fuck happened with silver chariot requiem and survives #and then has to live in a fucking turtle fpr the rest of his life #someone help this fucking dude he is actually such a tragic character #jjba #jean pierre polnareff #stardust crusaders #golden wind

hi! Your morning routine with George Weasley was really cute! It was really sweet just like George :)

Aw! Thank you very much! I just noticed you don’t really see disabled people get X reader Stuff. So I figured, as a disabled person, I fix that! We don’t really get remembered in media in a way that’s healthy. Used as plot points or have to still be pretty and act able bodied in order to be equal. So I wanna try and normalize that you can just EXIST ya know? More to come! I promise! Just expect a lot of George Weasley. Since he’s helping me process the trauma after all

#anon asked #asked and answered #X reader #disabled representation #we need more disabled representation #x wheelchair reader #wheelchair user #disabled writer #disabled artist #fighting for reprensination #equal rights #little by little #George Weasley my beloved

I have spent my life in pain, convincing myself that it isn't pain. "It's normal." I'd say to myself, because that's what everyone told me.

I have had migraines, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue since I was a child... And that's not even the end of the list.

I have been gaslighted by so many doctors and rushed out of rooms with new prescriptions in hand. I get that doctors are under a lot of pressure, but the amount of suffering I've been through, because no one listened to me, is inexcusable.

I'm in more pain and I'm more fragile than ever. Even some of my closest friends seem to just keep suggesting I find a new job to make more money. I CAN'T. No one seems to hear those words.

"Oh believe in yourself you can do anything." NO. I CAN'T and I SHOULDN'T.

I have spent my life pushing, no, SHOVING myself to do more than I should have ever done. All it did was make me sicker and speed up the process of whatever undiagnosed degenerative illness I have.

I have been diagnosed with clinical narcolepsy (aka idiopathic hypersomnolence), hyper mobility, asthma, dysautonomia, hypoglycemia, and so many other things it makes me want to sleep for a week trying to remember.

I haven't been able to hold a job since I started working at 15, but no one ever bothered to ask "well you keep limping out of here and calling in sick, do you think it might be serious?". No one ever bothered to tell me my symptoms weren't normal. All of them were explained away time and time again.

I DEMAND to know where, in these doctoral studies, were doctors instructed to dismiss their patients' concerns. This is MY body... don't you think I might know a thing or two about it?

I'm furious. I could have a fuller life right now if ANYONE had fucking LISTENED to me.

No I believed all of them for so long. Believed I was lazy and useless and dramatic and making excuses. Well guess what? They have MADE me dramatic, because otherwise no one will listen.

My pain is real, my symptoms are real, and I will scream like the hysterical woman they've made me out to be, until I am heard.

To all of the individuals over the years who tried to push me past my limits when I asked to stop, when I was in pain, when I said I was nearly blacking out, or when I said I needed to rest- you need to understand how broken that has left me. My self worth was demolished, I can't tell people "no" without panic and shame overtaking me.

"Surely I'm just making it up. Surely I'm not worthy of doctors' attention or this wheelchair." These thoughts are so deeply ingrained in my brain that they have to be surgically removed every time I go to do something for myself for once.

I have been beat over the head with the word "just" so many times I may just slap the next person who says it: "Just get a stable job, just drink water, just do yoga, just exercise, just eat right, just meditate, just stop crying, just don't be dramatic, just stop talking about your problems, JUST BE WHO WE WANT YOU TO BE AND ONLY WHO WE WANT YOU TO BE."

No. You will hear me use this word as my shield. NO. I will not be forced into sacrificing what little of myself I have left for the sake of anyone else's comfort. NO! I will NOT be silent, I will NOT be shamed, and I WILL keep fighting for myself even if every single person thinks I'm a selfish bitch because of it.

They can think we are selfish and useless and lazy all they want, but we are disabled, we are beautiful, we are valid, and we deserve an equal playing field.

I'm going to keep fighting for my own health. Few others will. And I'm going to keep fighting for others and join the others that do.

Sometimes you've got to say it, even tho you're not ready to accept that you did smt wrong.

#I'm gonna wait #blaming the wheelchair user bc they aren't quick enough for you and telling them its their fault #just a metaphor #but still.. i can work on my behavior. working on unchangeable damaged part's of my brain isn't possible #so it's not my fault for once #' it hurts to stab in the back. when you knew it from birth: you've been handed the knife. [...]'#' but you always knew you would fall. cause in life and death you know you are. born with a broken heart '#ususally I'll always blame myself #no matter what or who or what I say #but I'm not gonna get into a ' unchangeable disability vs changeable behavior ' fight #especially not bc I can tell that I'm gonna switch as soon as it gets provoked #i truly thought that he'd be the bigger person for a change.. now my bpd brain is telling me that it's just a question #of time until it's over for us and he's gonna break up.#not mine found on Pinterest

belger: haggar will you do something about the immigrant poverty in this city i grew up nearly homeless when my mom and dad immigrated

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger: haggar can you do something about the poor life quality for people with disabilities in this city because even i'm starting to go insane

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger: haggar i know you said metro city is the city of opportunity but i know two trans girl orphans who literally have to do really unspeakable things so they can get hormones can you PLEASE do something about the homeless trans minors

haggar: yeah yeah i'll get to it

belger, getting in his powerchair and writing a ransom note, on his way to kidnap jessica: if they can’t do anything right you might as well do something yourself

#I'M SORRY I'M READING JAPANESE LORE ON BELGER AND...HOLY SHIT BELGER WAS RIGHT #(the author of the lore guide did NOT mention disability injustice nor did they mention poison and roxy having to be exploited to transition #BUT...the author of this guide with information from japan said belger grew up poor and was likely ACTUALLY disabled so like.#like apparently the american version where he can ACTUALLY walk? censorship #though honestly it'd make sense for him to be in a wheelchair even if he could walk #not because of capcom of usa's reasoning that he's 'lazy' but because ambulatory wheelchair users exist #...final fight is NOT a well aged game in hindsight #like the concept of playing as three men (two of whom are white and models of hegemonic masculinity) beating up poor people minorities and #trans people is like...so. fucked up #and the fact that the Evil Villain who kidnapped jessica is a disabled man who likely grew up a poor immigrant. i hate capcom a lot
