I just really want to write a book (in fact, I think that Iâm going to) where the protagonist is in a wheelchair. And they live in a city where thereâs a group of superheroes. And thereâs a big, magical, villain because of course there is.
And since they were a young child, this protagonist has wanted nothing more than to join the group of superheroes. Like theyâre a huge fan of the group and they just know that itâs their destiny to join.
And one day, when wheeling through the city, they see the group of heroes fighting the villain. And they quickly wheel over and cry, âLet me help!â
But the âheroesâ laugh and instead make a whole bunch of ableist remarks.
And so the protagonist has to prove themselves.
And the villain is trying to warn them to stop.
But the protagonist ends up taking their footrest off of their wheelchair and they swing it. And it hits the villain in the side of the face and the villain collapses and groans in pain.
And so the protagonist proudly smiles and turns to the group of heroes.
Because they just proved that they are strong and worthy enough.
But the group of âheroesâ still keeps making ableist remarks.
And the protagonist is shocked.
And meanwhile, the âvillainâ staggers to their feet and is standing next to the protagonistâ wheelchair.
And one of the âheroesâ goes too far when calling the protagonist the R word.
And the protagonist and the âvillainâ just sort of glance at one another.
And the âvillainâ is just like, âYou knowâŠI can zap them for youâŠif you want.â
And the protagonist hesitates and says, âYeah, alright!â
One fried group of heroes later, the âvillainâ says, âWhy do you think that Iâm always fighting them? Theyâre all a bunch of assholes.â
And the protagonist sadly nods and starts to wheel away.
âHey, do you want a job?â
The protagonist turns at the villainâs remark. And the protagonist mumbles something like, âOh, come on. I donât need your pity.â
And the âvillainâ is like, âPity!? Do I look like someone who hands out pity!? I donât pity you! Iâm kind of afraid of you, to be honest! I meanâŠIâm going to have a giant bruise on my face because of you.â
âWater under the bridge! So, what do you say? Do you want a job?â
And the protagonist thinks about it for a minute before shrugging.
And the âvillainâ is all excited because theyâve wanted someone to work with them for years but no mortal is allowed to âstep intoâ their lair.
And then the âvillainâ stops and is like, âHang onâŠyou canât work with me in that.â
And they gesture to the protagonistâs wheelchair.
And the protagonist is all embarrassed.
And then the villain goes, âBecause we can get you a much better wheelchair! Itâll look great! And itâll be indestructible! And itâll have all sorts of weapons and gadgets! Hey, how do you feel about flyingâŠ?â
And all of that is literally in the first chapter and then the rest of the story follows the two going around the city like BAMFs, forcing people to stop being ableist, one way or another. And maybe itâll have some commentary on the scale of morality and what it truly means to be a hero and what it truly means to be a villain.
Would anyone be interested in this!?
Because I really want to write it!?
