hooo boy where do i start. i have this really expansive modern tolkien au and everybody is disabled basically. frodo? ptsd from their parent's death and later on from their experiences with dealing with sauron. gimli? wheelchair user. elrond? autistic. thranduil? limited vision in one eye and substance abuse disorder. thorin? bpd. frerin? also autistic. dain? amputee. the list goes on and on and i love them ALL

All of these make so much sense! Ah I love it. You've also reminded me that Dain Ironfoot is another disabled character who I'd completely forgotten about. Clearly that was a grievous mistake, Dain deserves better.

I'm also loving they/them Frodo, you're definitely making me 👀 Have you published any of the AU? Everyone can promo their disabled Arda fanfic at any time 👍

A Star In Your Constellation by @peasantswhy isn't specifically about disability; it's about Elrond, Celebrían and Gil-galad forming a polyamorous triad (and it's really good). It's also rated E, so heads up for that.

Although the story is about love, Celebrían's recovery from her trauma plays a central role. The author beautifully portrays how trauma changes and affects every part of your life, but doesn't rule or define it. In my opinion it's one of the best and most accurate depictions of PTSD I've ever read. Celebrían's experiences here and the depiction of her life mirror my own to a truly bizarre level, and for that this fic will always have a special place in my heart.

despite the fact that i have seen shit so awful that it sometimes appears before me fully formed and desiring to be experienced all over again,* i would not consider myself squeamish. but i cut myself really bad over the weekend and there is something** about seeing that much of your own meat

At this point I’d not trust anyone affiliated with Disney to suitably adapt the Thrawn trilogy or give Jaina and Jacen Solo the narrative weight that they both warrant

the funniest thing is that my therapist is CONVINCED i have ptsd despite never going through a traumatic event

I do think that Rhea, after talking to sats and Tosh, decides to transfer to the hospital tosh stayed in and....

Found their psych ward a million miles better. And was put immediately under the care of sats own therapist (tosh vc: garbage man! [Affectionate]).

Rhea... immediately notices a difference and is taken off the meds she was on. And put back on what she was on before.

However sats therapist immediately began to get to work to figure out what happened, what has set rhea off, and how they needed to address it.]

I was so hurt and felt so evil as a child and in high school
