Retracts My Posting Tendril Into My Body Swiftly

I wish more life sim games had disabled focused content in them. I want my character to be blind. I want my character in a wheelchair. I want my character to use a cane or crutch or walker. I want braces and hearing aids and oxygen tanks. I want sign language and AAC devices and the option to be completely nonverbal. I want disability representation in my life sim games

sorry if my posts are kinda weird, i'm kinda unstable

the place where so many haunted house genre stories fall apart is where the writers try to explain why the house is haunted and it completely defangs the story because the explanation is never as scary as the haunting itself. "this house is haunted and bad things happen here" can be so artful and outrageously scary. "this house is haunted because Specified Bad Thing Happened Here" falls flat again and again. i'm not saying it can't be done but i'm almost never satisfied by it and often it ruins the whole story for me.

the thing is, a Haunted House story is not the same as a Ghost story. In a Haunted House story, the Haunted House is a character. Usually a main character. In a Ghost story, the ghost is a character. A Ghost's story may be explained by showing us the Ghost's origin. But a Haunted House story cannot be explained by showing us the origin of one of the House's ghosts. That's just one ghost. We're talking about the House.

haha nooooo fandom don't sand off all the rough edges and pointy bits off of that character those are the parts I scratch my brain with haha

another teacher grace moment i love is when rocky gives him the oxygen model he goes 'i dont have one of these thank you!' like that is THE most teacher response ever when a child gives them something utterly incomprehensible but made with love

The whole "disability isn't a barrier, ableism is" always pisses me off because obviously ableism is a barrier and eradicating it would significantly improve the lives of disabled folk, disability does impact peoples lives and prevents them from doing things with or without ableism

Shout-out to characters who don't plan to survive their stories! Heroes who think they can only atone for their failures through sacrifice, villains who don't think they deserve to live in the world they're trying to create. Gimme that passive suicidality baby, mm-mm, delicious.

And let's not forget the ones who don't expect to die or anything, but are always half-thinking "well I'm the most expendable one in our team so if someone needs to sacrifice themselves obviously it should be me." Like, no bitch! You're also part of the team! You matter! Shut up and accept it already! (But also don't because the rock-bottom self-esteem makes you so compelling.)
