i am aware that this piece of mine has been re-posted a thousand times, but now you can re-blog it from the original artist! :~D
I wanna start a collection of quotes by early Christian fathers being mad at strapons

I think about this comic every day
âWhat? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?â local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness.Â
but is Ed really disabled? sure I get he lost his arm and leg
but heâs still able to move and do things perfectly
He has prosthetics. Having prosthetic limbs (that more than once break amd need repair) doesnt make him not disabled
It should also be noted that Ed:
-had to undergo very painful surgery to get automail
-had to relearn how to write because of his prosthesis (thereâs a post going around showing he had to switch hands etc) and his handwriting is likely a lot worse due to that. This means automail isnât super good for delicate work, unsurprising, considering what itâs made of.Â
-experiences phantom limb pain and therefore other associated stuff (this was only really shown in the manga)
-cannot go anywhere too cold without changing his automail or heâll get really bad frost bite and it will stop working
-cannot go anywhere too hot, period, because the metal attached and under his skin will overheat and he will be badly burned
-Reattachment is painful, but needs to be done frequently if he breaks or outgrows his automail
- itâs HEAVY so much so that the strain has the potential to cause stress on his body, enough that itâs even theorized as possibly stunting his growth.
-it requires regular maintenance or it will break down, as shown when he forgets to do that and itâŠbreaks down
-when it does need to be repaired, it takes time to do that, during which Ed uses regular prosthetics (that usually donât quite fit him).
-costs a lot of money (not a problem for Ed due to high state alchemist salary/having mechanics as surrogate family, but explicitly noted to being the reason why most people in the fmaverse stick to regular prosthetics along with the painful surgery)
So Ed canât actually do everything perfectly and experiences a lot of extra hassle, problems and pain people without automail donât have to deal with! And any advantages he does have are more suited to fighting than day to day life (being able to incorporate weapons/fake out people who want to blow up his arm).Â
Arakawa did her research and thought it through. Automail is by no means a magic cure that solves all problems associated with losing a limb.
Iâm kinda sad these two might not count.
Why wouldnât they? Hiccup is missing a leg
But he doesnât struggle.
Disability isnât defined byâ struggleâ or suffering. Having a useful prosthetic doesnât make them not disabled. Get the fuck out of here with that.Â
DISABILITY ISNâT DEFINED BY SUFFERING OR STRUGGLE
I will also point out (quietly, because that last point was SO important) that choosing not to show it on screen does not necessarily indicate a lack of either adaptation or difficulty. It might simply be none of our business.
Reblogging for that last commentâŠitâs really creepy how voyeuristic people act about it sometimes. Just because you donât see it doesnât mean theyâre not strugglingâŠand their apparent struggle or lack thereof isnât what âgrantsâ them disabled status. Itâs the fact of having a disability.
Also thatâs just⊠not true. Hiccup DOES struggle sometimes and thereâs a couple instances of them showing it. The Christmas special Gift of the Night Fury (which I am not even kidding, is canon, they reference it in the third movie) shows him having trouble on ice (you know, metal leg) and the movies do occasionally show him having a little trouble getting around.
A struggle because of a disability doesnât have to be the most extreme thing. It can be a little extra annoyance that just makes things a little harder, or makes someone not able to do things like others would. Like a movie not having captions so a Dead/HoH person canât watch it.
âBut they have functional prosthetics so are they really disabled?â
Do you know the definition of the word disabled. Have you ever looked up what a disability is.
What the fuck is even happening here.
Hey, you wanna know what another incredibly common disability is?
Glasses.
And yet they are ubiquitous. Glasses are relatively inexpensive, and there are opticals everywhere.
No one pities or tries to suggest that myopic or presbiopic people donât actually need their glasses. No one says they should âtoughen upâ or âtry yogaâ to fix their vision. People with glasses arenât asked âwhat happenedâ to them by strangers on the street.
Needing prescription glasses is the gold standard of how all disabilities should be treated.
So, why arenât they?
Just âcause youâre not suffering from your disability doesnât mean youâre not disabled. A happy person in a wheelchair is still disabled, someone with an invisible disability is still disabled, someone like me, who has Tourettes but isnât bothered by it, is still fucking disabled.
Disability isnât a sliding schale depending on how much pain or discomfort youâre in, jesus.
âMy sister was a tiny child then, and she was drinking her milk, and all of a sudden I saw that she was God and the milk was God. I mean, all she was doing was pouring God into God, if you know what I meanâ.
- Nine Stories by J D Salinger
âââââââââââââ
at a junk sale once I saw the most beautiful picture I have ever seen, of a little dog drinking milk from a glass. On the back it said GIGI 1969. I love you Gigi. I dug through the bin and found many more pictures of you, being held by people who loved you. One was a man named Hussein. None of the others were labeled. Â There was a sweet motherly woman, and also someone who looked like a Hollywood actress with big glossy hair, all holding you like the prize. Â You are dead, because you are a dog from the 60s.Â
Maybe itâs just because Iâm Jewish but I do truly believe that life gets ten times better when you learn to complain cheerfully
I think a part of it is that it lets you acknowledge that something sucks, which is actually really good in a culture that wants us to pretend that everything is fine and weâre soldiering through all the time. Like, no, my grocery bag breaking and spilling all over the floor is not fine. Iâve had a long day and Iâm really upset and on the verge of tears because I canât handle one more thing and pretending like itâs fine only means breaking down later.
But if you let yourself complain, if you let yourself swear terribly and creatively, and you stare down at the bruised vegetables like theyâve personally disappointed you, and you make yourself smile because this is really just so, so stupid, you feel a little better. Thereâs a power to acknowledging that something sucks and making yourself feel better anyways. Thereâs a power to going âand THEN my bag broke, and itâs likeâseriously? my day was bad enoughâ and doing it with a smile.
You shouldnât have to pretend things are fine when they arenât. You shouldnât have to force yourself to smile through things that make you feel terrible. But if you can make yourself laugh by staring down at some strawberries that have decided to revolt, and give them a lecture on why theyâre just terrible, really, and that makes you smileâthen maybe thatâs a good thing.
I mean is she wrong though?
i wonder what would make the interior of this childrenâs hospital look welcoming and less threatening to patients
ill make it a fluid, continuous design, and Iâll make it red because colour theory says red means passion and love
by talos this canât be happening
âSome other time is too vague, now is the right timeâ
babe, dear, and hun sound so weak and clichĂ©. if you were mine, iâll call you lieutenant, sergeant, general, commander. youâll be my authority figure
