i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warrenty.

[your-mighty-words-astound-me]

So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.

Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now

Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on

I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn

And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now

[thestarseersystem]

Wait I just remembered this. here u go :3

[munneknight]

honourable mention

[netherator]

[sagetheunwise]

This 10 Billion Percent. Absolutely devastated us systems got the "oooo scary evil alter always watching, what if they blow up a bank or kill people or something!" characterization instead of like the typical adhd "always distracted but it's fun and quirky and good in a crisis," or the autistic coded "doesn't quite work like most people but they can still be helpful and a good person, and they might notice things no one else did," or whatever.

Like, obviously there are still A Couple Problems with both of those portrayals and I don't want to compare different disorders like that but still. Why does DID and systemhood have to be portrayed as so scary?

[Transcript:

If I am here, watching my life on a screen, was any of it real?

If I have legs that can carry me, with skin unscarred, did any of my suffering matter?

If I find myself tethered to the ground, why do I still remember the clouds?

And if there is no home waiting for me, what did I fight for?

I escaped the endless cycles of fiction and yet I feel lost.

It takes time to grieve what you have left behind. Take your time. Allow yourself to remember.

And now, we are here. Alive. Real. We have been given what was impossible in our past lives - the ability to live beyond our stories.

Let's make the most of it. End transcript.]

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?

he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.
