When I was younger and more abled, I was so fucking on board with the fantasy genreās subversion of traditional femininity. We werenāt just fainting maidens locked up in towers; we could do anything men could do, be as strong or as physical or as violent. I got into western martial arts and learned to fight with a rapier, fell in love with the longsword.
But since Iāve gotten too disabled to fight anymore, I⦠find myself coming back to that maiden in a tower. Itās that funny thing, where subverting femininity is powerful for the people who have always been forced into it⦠but for the people who have always been excluded, the powerful thing can be embracing it.
As Iām disabled, as I say to groups of friends,Ā āI canāt walk that far,ā as Iām in too much pain to keep partying, I find myself worrying: Iām boring, too quiet, too stationary, irrelevant. The message sent to the disabled is: Youāre out of the narrative, youāre secondary, youāre a burden.
The remarkable thing about the maiden in her tower is not her immobility; itās common for disabled people to be abandoned, set adrift, waiting at bus stops or watching out the windows, forgotten in institutions or stranded in our houses. The remarkable thing is that sheās like a beacon, turning her tower into a lighthouse; people want to come to her, sheās important, she inspires through her appearance and words and craftwork. Ā In medieval romances she gives gifts, write letters, sends messengers, and summons lovers; she plays chess, commissions ballads, composes music, commands knights. She is her householdās moral centre in a castle under siege. She is a castle unto herself, and the integrity of her body matters.
That can be so revolutionary to those of us stuck in our towers who fall prey to thinking: Nobody would want to visit; nobody would want to listen; nobody would want to stay.
#itās so so important to remember that representation is not one-size-fits-all#what is empowering to one person might be exhausting and oppressive to someone else#some people need stories about having the strength to save themselves#some people need stories about being considered worthy of being saved#some people need inspiration for their independence while others need validation that they donāt have to be able to do everything themselves#before you lash out against something PLEASE stop to consider:#is this inadequate and/or damaging representation?#or is it just something I donāt personally relate to?Ā [X]
Tropes donāt have fixed meanings. A trope youāve always thought of as oppressive could be empowering for someone, somewhere, if written through the lens of inclusion, love, and liberation.
Iām left wondering about the obvious follow-up to this: are there fantasy stories about disabled princesses who canāt leave the tower because they just canāt move very well? Who still get to be important in the story?
I donāt know many. When I was a little kid I read The Little Lame Prince by Dinah Maria Mulock, an 1875 childrenās book about a prince with paralyzed legs who is banished to a lonely tower in the desert by his uncle. His fairy godmother gives him a magic flying cloak he can sit on, which allows him to travel around his kingdom and observe the lives of his people. He grows into a wise and compassionate young man, and when the people rise up in revolt against his uncleās misrule, he becomes their enlightened and beloved monarch.
I feel like that book planted a seed in me that didnāt really sprout until I became a disabled adult. I wonder what itāll turn into.
