[cripplecharacters]

hi! i'm in process with my book, and i really wanna give one of the antagonists a rollator as his main aid. i'm disabled, i use a cane, but i daydream about rollator so. that's why.

the question is. what conditions in your mind lack representation? i have no problem with researching, but i lowkey don't want to just give him my experience. thank you!

Thank you for your ask! Personally I believe every disability lacks representation, as disability shows up extremely infrequently in media and even when it does it’s often shallow and poorly represented.

One thing I’ve noticed in media is that when someone uses a mobility aid it’s often due to an old injury, amputation or muscle weakness. There’s nothing wrong with giving a character one of these, I just think it would be cool to see someone using an aid due to a limb difference, a heart or lung issue, a brain condition, or to help with fatigue or dizziness. There are a lot of reasons for someone to use an aid and I’d like to see them represented!

Here’s a short list of disabilities I’ve never seen represented that could cause someone to use a rollater:

camurati-engelmann’s disease

congenital genu recurvatum calcaneovalgus

bilateral peroneal neuropath

nail-patella syndrome

tetralogy of fallot

arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

cardiomyopathy

You don’t have to use them, but since your question can also be read as asking for specific underrepresented conditions we decided to include them :) (smiley face)

Before I finish, I noticed you said that the aid was for an antagonist. Please make sure that you aren’t falling into the disabled villain trope by giving some of the protagonist characters disabilities as well. Keep in mind your antagonist also shouldn’t be the only character with an aid or visible difference (if you choose a condition that causes visible differences).

Have a nice day!

Hey! Sorry you’re probably getting a ton of messages about this but what has happened to the queue rate recently? Not sure if it’s something on my end/a tech issue or if something has changed with the blog recently x

Hi! We've got a couple of asks like these over the past few days and I wanted to try and clear it up rq. Firstly, thank you all for being so kind and patient with us! It means a lot to see so many people wishing us and the blog well. Secondly, everything is okay! One of our hardest working mods Tri got quite busy this week and unfortunately the queue managed to fall behind. Posts may be sparse or a little off schedule for a second, but we're trying to catch up with our draft and queue! Thank y'all again for being patient with us. Hope to be back on schedule soon!

random but it's confirmed that each team has their own rooms/locker rooms to head into through a portal. each room shapeshifts to accommodate the team.

portals are located all around the stadium. in the randomest of spots. you can find one underneath a bleacher.

I need some advice about how to include magic as an aid. All of my stories are set in a high fantasy type of world with (i think at least) solid worldbuilding where magic is relatively common, especially healing magic and everyday magic (????? like, not highly destructive explosions, more like convenience stuff).

I have a lot of disabled characters who I want to represent authentically & the best way I can, and I reallllllly don’t want to be that author that’s like, oh you have fibromyalgia? Poof healing magic it has no effect on you. Oh you’re an amputee? Poof magical forcefield prosthetic. Yknow

I guess, advice if you have any about how to be respectful about disabilities and magic coexisting

Thank you for your question! I would recommend treating magic like medicine, it can’t fix everything and is always working to be improved. Some issues can be cured with things like surgery or medication, or in your case magic, but sometimes those issues can only be managed and not cured. Sometimes medical help can even make issues worse or cause disability (whether or not the initial problem was solved). Big procedures such as surgeries often have lasting side effects no matter the outcome, and I would imagine so would big magical procedures.

You should also think about how the magic interacts with the world. Is it physically draining to preform? How much does it cost for professional help? Is it accessible to everyone or are there barriers (money, rank/class, education, etc)? Are certain conditions managed with potions that need to be taken over long periods of time, if not forever, and if so how do people get access to it? Is certain magic only practiced in certain places, such as big cities with certified universities/hospitals, and if so how difficult would it be for your character to get to them? What are the side effects of these cures, and how long do they last, if they go away at all?

Also much like every doctor isn’t a good doctor, every healing magician doesn’t care to actually help. There would still be people being misdiagnosed, not being believed, not getting sufficient care, not to mention snake oil salesmen who would sell fake cures for money.

Magic prosthetics also shouldn’t be a cure, they are not in the real world either. They have limited movement, and the more movement a prosthetic has the more expensive it is, the more difficult is is to learn to use, and it’s often heavier. Plus prosthetics can be uncomfortable and difficult to use so not every amputee chooses to wear one.

Just keep these in mind and don’t cure disabilities that are incurable today and you should be good!

Have a lovely day!

do you have any first time confessions in the queue? i.e: new NPC is mentioned? like, i await with bated breath on the weirdest and most obscure shit popping up on the dash

yes we do! without giving anyone away, a new tiefling, half-orc, dragonborn, and a certain wizard were recently sent in as confessions and/or are currently in the queue!

hey, this is a genuine question, but whats wrong with imdrinkingyourmilkshake/killthehead and why are they on the dni list? i cannot seem to find anything about those blogs at all outside the fact that they post kind of edgy photographs with blood or cigarettes etc

when i find the actual post on my main i will link it but to condense it for the moment, they tormented and mistreated two people i was pretty good friends with. i dont really recall how the issue was or was not resolved but im still uncomfortable with them because of that, but also for other reasons i'm not going into bc theyre more personal.

iirc they steal peoples content nonstop btw

ASTARION in BALDUR’S GATE 3 (2023) - [11/∞] (mod, mod)

[reliand]

I kind of love that Astarion fights you the most on the astral tadpole. All of my companions said their one or two sentences about how, "this is terrible and I don't want to become half-illithid." (except Gale, who was like, "you seem to be doing fine. Just give me the word and I'll join you.")

but then you get your persuasion roll, which on the low end was 15 and high of 18. Reasonable.

Astarion, who was totally into consuming the regular tadpoles, immediately says No to the astral, and if you ask why...he says that he remembers turning into a vampire and how painful it was. How he can't go through something like that again. I ended up asking him if he was afraid, and he said, "I'll happily murder my way to any powerful artifacts, but don't ask me to sacrifice my body! It hasn't been mine for so long...."

He only recently got his freedom back, and the last thing he wants is to give it up to become illithid. At this point you had your main point of argument, but I told him he shouldn't have to compromise himself.

I just find it so interesting that he has so many dialogue options for the astral tadpole that I didn't even make it to the persuasion roll because I felt too guilty. He wants his freedom and autonomy so much. I'm unsure if he has the same reaction if you're doing an evil run, but he has a 100 percent approval rating with me, and was still very against it. I wonder if it's a higher roll for whoever you're romancing...

#I just wanted everyone to fly for this run #i put the mod on to get rid of the rotting teeth bc i can't handle them #they weren't there in my first run and got added in the first patch #it was just the dark veins throughout my face which was actually a cool visual #the teeth were a little much so I just modded them out #looks like astarion is going to be getting left on the ground while the rest of us fly over buildings and shit #bg3 #just wanted to be a power couple over here #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #astarion
