Corpus colossus

It is estimated that at least one in 4,000 individuals has a disorder of the corpus callosum. Impairments in social interaction and communication in individuals having a disorder of the corpus callosum may overlap with autism spectrum disorder behaviors. The corpus callosum acts as a bridge so that input from. Each hemisphere of the brain controls movement and feeling on the opposite side of the body. It acts as a connective pathway that links the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. Individuals with these disorders have a higher risk of hearing deficits and cardiac abnormalities than individuals with the normal structure. by primary degeneration of the corpus callosum, is a rare complication of chronic alcoholism.1 Although nutritional deficiencies have been suspected. The corpus callosum is a hard, C-shaped structure found in the middle of the brain. Other disorders of the corpus callosum include dysgenesis, in which the corpus callosum is developed in a malformed or incomplete way, and hypoplasia, in which the corpus callosum is thinner than usual. It contains 200 million nerve fibers that pass information back and forth. Children with the most severe brain malformations may have intellectual impairment, seizures, hydrocephalus, and spasticity. The corpus callosum is a structure that connects the right and left sides of the brain. The effects of the disorder range from subtle or mild to severe, depending on associated brain abnormalities. ACC can also be associated with malformations in other parts of the body, such as midline facial defects. Cast and crew from the film Mad Max: Fury Road and celebrities walked the red carpet at Event Cinemas. ACC can occur as an isolated condition or in combination with other cerebral abnormalities, including Arnold-Chiari malformation, Dandy-Walker syndrome, schizencephaly (clefts or deep divisions in brain tissue), and holoprosencephaly (failure of the forebrain to divide into lobes.) Girls may have a gender-specific condition called Aicardi syndrome, which causes severe cognitive impairment and developmental delays, seizures, abnormalities in the vertebra of the spine, and lesions on the retina of the eye. Pictured: Quentin Kenihan Companion (Corpus Colossus). The corpus callosum transfers motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the brain hemispheres. It connects the left and right sides of the brain, allowing for communication between both hemispheres. It is caused by a disruption of brain cell migration during fetal development. The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers that divides the cerebral cortex lobes into left and right hemispheres. In ACC the corpus callosum is partially or completely absent. Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is one of several disorders of the corpus callosum, the structure that connects the two hemispheres (left and right) of the brain.

about the mini fic: its a concept ive had rolling around my brain pan for a while (mostly a crappy joke) but it still works??

idk how old scabrous scrotus really is but if corpus is 36 (qkenihan’s age at filming) at the time fr takes place, and he’s 11 in the thing, that makes our buddy scrotus about 25

again idk much about him but he seems older than 25 then again i haven’t played the game in a while i just know he’s a Big Jerk but i get his dog so it’s okay???

okay there's a million things wrong w/ the Furiosa comic but one thing that REALLY bothers me is Corpus's ""wheelchair"". Which is just a shitty office chair with no reinforcements, no armrests, no anything that could possibly redeem it. I mean it DOES have wheels but like... If they could get a legit walker for Miss Giddy they could have gotten an actual decent mobility aide for Corpus too. Y'know considering he's one of the highest ranking members of the Citadel's ruling class. Plus... He could also have had a few aides to help him into/ out of his actual chair with the telescope and around the Citadel etc etc. I hate to say this, but if Rictus is supposed to be as violent and impulsive as the he's shown to be in the comic, wouldn't it be a horrible idea to have Corpus rely almost solely on him to get around? The picture I saw from the comic showed Corpus in an office chair holding out a crutch towards Rictus (to pull him) and yelling for him to come back. I'm not going to say what canonically happened (it was Bad) but our good buddy pal Ricky was stomping away angrily, leaving Corpus pretty much stuck there. Like... Would it be that hard to just give Corp an assistant or caregiver or something? I mean... He would've at least had a few nameless war pups to help him get around and take notes for him and get him coffee or whatever. That would be really nice tbh... I'm not sure where I'm going with this but here: if you want to redo the Furiosa comic, do something about this

 okay i was gonna make a real serious post but here i am bc my dog pulled a major cute on me and also bc quentin kenihan has the most adorable dog omg(!!!)

  corpus colossus w/ a sweet lil chihuahua, who even other dog owners constantly call “puppy” and “little guy”, even though he’s had her for four years now, damn it

  a lot of the time, this annoys him to no end, and he typically responds with, “so, old’s your pup?”- regardless of size- and other people are like “uh, spike’s three now” and corpus goes, “cool, hypatia’s five or so” and they’re like “oh... oops”

  but other times, he doesn’t mind, bc maybe it’s a kid who loves dogs and only knows bigger breeds.  maybe it’s rictus, whose dog is bigger than corpus is, but anyway he’s always up to play with hypatia, even the times when corpus has had a long day and is too tired for that himself

  also- corpus names his pets after ancient philosophers and scientists- except for one of them, like “this one’s archimedes, this is hypatia, and that one’s homer” and people say, “oh, like the poet?” and he just laughs and says, “no, no, like homer simpson!”

  ...so yeah, please talk pet owner aus with me, especially involving your own characters bc yes

Dear Diary: Father told me he teaches people "real life." He said, real life sucks losers dry. You want to f*ck with the eagles, you have to learn to fly. I said, "So, you teach people how to spread their wings and fly?" He said, "Yes". I said, "You're chrome".

Hey I just wanted to ask regarding your post about ableism what you meant by pretty disorders? I'm really not trying to be offensive here or diminish your points I'm just confused

Well, to use MMFR as the example (and don’t get me wrong, I love these characters, it’s the perceptions in the fandom)…Pretty disorders/conditions/etc. are romanticized and turned to angsty drama by the fandom and extolled as “zomg these characters are such strong inspiring representations”.  And they are fantastic - these are wonderful representation.  Some examples:

Max’s improperly healed knee/leg brace (part of the character even if not shown much if at all in MMFR) and (convenient) hallucinations

Furiosa’s arm

Nux’s (and the other half-life War Boys’) tumors (and brainwashing and potential addiction for that matter)

The Vuvalini’s ages

Feminism!

How often do you see actual fans (not roleplayed/ficced characters) saying the Wives should get back to popping out babies, or the Vuvalini need to hurry up and die already before they fall apart, or calling Max or Furiosa gimpy or crippled or whatnot?  Yeah.  You don’t.  They get treated like inspirational porn.  When a person with a condition is extolled and glorified for “overcoming” it and “not letting it hold them back” - why sure, that’s inspirational.  Until that’s all you can hear and it prevents you from seeing the person, or seeing others’ conditions.  That’s some ableism right there.Now look at some of the other depicted disorders/conditions.  The ones that make people uncomfortable, that often result in OOC or “comedy-only” characterizations or just plain ignoring the characters - but are actually in the source material no less valid representations.

Rictus’ developmental disorder

Corpus’ physical condition

Scrotus being, by canon, a psychopath (in the comics and game)

The Organic Mechanic’s drooling and (at least v. visible in the comics, for what they’re worth… which isn’t much) speech impediment

War Boys’ tumors that aren’t aesthetically acceptable ¬_¬

(Not sure the comics can, overall, be counted, though; they’re basically terribly poorly fanfic unworthy of the story bones they try to flesh out and fail pretty hardcore at characterization themselves compared to the movie.  Except the War Rig comic, which they should’ve led with because it’s pretty darned good.)Then look at the source material, even only the movie, which is excellently written and includes all these things.  Where Rictus and Corpus are not played for comedy but taken as individuals with their own wants and needs and motivations.  Not props and not just things to be laughed at any more than any other character in the entire movie.

Now, how often do you see fans portraying these characters as presented in the source material?  As opposed to behaving out of character because it’s “funny” for the person with a developmental disorder to go around yelling “hurr durr” and tossing his brother about like a football?  Or as opposed to Rictus the Rapist?  Even if you go with the problematic description of Rictus being a child in a man’s body, how many kids have you ever met to act like that?Do you think these characters would be portrayed in the fandom the same way if their conditions didn’t make people uncomfortable?  No, they’d be held up as wonderful and taken as seriously as the characters with “pretty” conditions that don’t make the fans uncomfortable.  It’s ableist to deal with that discomfort by trivializing and dehumanizing the characters.
