#also crucially he is just as down bad as ever before we do not santize or infantilize disabled people in my house!!!

okay i love that you made a haurchefant lives au where he survives the unsurvivable unhealable attack. genuinely i love to see it, i love him and miss him and think the "if he lived it would ruin the timeline" thing is stupid as hell. (like, narratively i had made peace with his death, that part is as okay as it can be to me, but then they come up with this cop out "no fun allowed, he Has to die" bullshit come ON thats stupid AND defeats the true tragedy of his death shut UP.)

anyways, thats beside the point, my real question is why is he never disabled though (an obvious question with an obvious answer, but so many people do not even bother asking lmao). like. in these aus i see him either miraculously fully healed or with a bitchin scar. and that scar is oftentimes huge and RIGHT over his spine??? hello. why is he never disabled. why does that seem like a fate as bad as or worse than death to so many of you.

#anyways wheelchair user haurchefant means everything to me #him struggling with Becoming Disabled (cause its a different experience when its through an injury yknow) #but coming out the other end of that struggle in such a decidedly Haurchefant way #him being a core element in establishing a PT service in ishgard #him giving feedback to the skysteel manufactory about the wheelchair(s. plural) they build him to improve the design #him getting even more jacked arma because goddamn ishgard may have a lot of ramps but they are WAY too steep- #-no wonder so many disabled people live on the lowest levels in the brume they have no choice! #him championing construction efforts for lifts and gentler slopes #also you cannot tell me he would not invent wheelchair jousting #the man may have to sit the rest of his life but he certainly isnt sitting still #also crucially he is just as down bad as ever before we do not santize or infantilize disabled people in my house!!! #ky speaks #also if you make him ambulatory my friend bee said edmont would Definitely gift him a matching cane and i *sobs* OTL #thats if though. i like both non-ambulatory and ambulatory wheelchair user haurch
