Disabled characters in ttrpg/fantasy ARE cool, narratively interesting, and should be a part of the lore/worldbuilding process. It’s good writing, plain and simple. If you choose “disabled people don’t exist bc ✨magic✨” you’re boring.

Here are some examples: dryads with connective tissue disorders. Lignin and cellulose are great but can form an excess of rigid scar tissue after injury, or interrupting cellular structure and creating a spot that can be re-injured. Using braces or tying joints might help.

Spell casting with a stutter: I will probably play this character eventually. I have aphasia and a stutter, so my characters have stutters by default, and I always wondered how that would affect spells with verbal components. Aphasia has made my brain replace a word in a sentence with a random one. Ex “I put Rosemary in ice cubes to make it last longer” became “I put watermelon in ice cubes to make it last longer” and every time I retried the sentence I kept saying watermelon. Or “my road is just up the school”. I think rolling wild magic for verbal spells could be cool, and doesn’t just ‘punish or nerf’ characters for being disabled, cool and good stuff could happen.

I also did a visually impaired character. It’s a bit more intense than what I have, my eyes always have really big pupils so I never had to get them dilated at the optometrist. When you have photosensitivity it sucks and is very painful. Divination as an accommodation is really interesting to me, and using tinted glasses (just polarized sunglasses or pink fl41 for me) helps.

Any other disabled folks feel free to add on!

being a leftst is hard. i dont wanna assimilate into harmful things like frapitalism and gubbrmint but i have to self sacrifice and build a better world. if we cant have a revolution in this lifetime, we need to build routes of trust between a divided world in some way or another

Insane that being in your 20s counts as adulthood. Being in your 20s just feels like the sequel to being a teenager

No exactly you get it you get it

how can ugly people be unapologetically themselves? like you can dress however unconventional you want, act annoying if you want, and even trans your gender and it's not weird bc you have prettyboy privilege. but do you have advice for those who don't?

realize that trying to be palatable to people who judge you on the basis of something as superficial as whether you're conventionally attractive or not is pointless and embrace the things about yourself that make you happy even if your appearance isn't one of them. you might just find yourself feeling less "ugly" if you allow yourself to be who you want to be and find people who feel the same way and respect and admire you for being true to yourself.

i think that every child should have unrestricted access to thick blackberry brambles or some other delicious fruit that grows encased in a painful fortress. i think wading through thorns to reach the cluster of shining ripe berries you spied through a gap between the tangled vines teaches you something important. not sure what though

[curseworm]

i just know no fruit has ever tasted as sweet as the ones i ate while bleeding under the blistering summer sun

were I a figure in a Greek tragedy I simply would not eat unidentifiable meat at a banquet unless all my relatives were accounted for

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

you show up to my banquet and eat your fill and only then do I reveal that I prepared your Impossible Burger out of your beloved soybean plant which you loved like a son

He’s effeminate, and therefore we think he’s weak. But that man sits in pubs and clubs and houses and hotels telling all the world about his homosexuality. Out loud! All day long! Doesn’t bother him who’s listening—priests, or housewives, or landlords, or anyone. He tells the truth, and doesn’t care. No one else does that, Jeremy… no one. Certainly not us. In the whole of this land, there is Norman and Norman alone. To be blunt, he amazes me. I think he’s one of the strongest men in the world.

also absolutely hate when people say "this is set a million years from now and there's still racism and homophobia? #problematic" and then you read it and it's a scathing and concise yet meticulous examination of our current views on race and gender and sexuality. you don't understand what the point of science fiction is. escapism is not the pinnacle of the written form that all genre fiction should aspire to. you're annoying me

[mossbawn]

the fantastical setting allows for the writer to make our current day issues larger than life and therefore more easily examined and deconstructed. in genre fiction fantasy is often used as a microscope and through it we can try to better understand what's gone so wrong with us in the modern day, we can try to point to the cancer in the cells. it's natural to want to escape sometimes (i love a good romcom for example) but you do need to confront a mirror every once in a while. the solution to your pain is not to bury your head in squeecore. sorry i said squeecore
