[fenrir-flamekeeper]

hey wow i’m doing artfight this year! very nervous and excited about it! here’s my two main characters

[star-anise]

When I was younger and more abled, I was so fucking on board with the fantasy genre’s subversion of traditional femininity. We weren’t just fainting maidens locked up in towers; we could do anything men could do, be as strong or as physical or as violent. I got into western martial arts and learned to fight with a rapier, fell in love with the longsword.

But since I’ve gotten too disabled to fight anymore, I… find myself coming back to that maiden in a tower. It’s that funny thing, where subverting femininity is powerful for the people who have always been forced into it… but for the people who have always been excluded, the powerful thing can be embracing it.

As I’m disabled, as I say to groups of friends, “I can’t walk that far,” as I’m in too much pain to keep partying, I find myself worrying: I’m boring, too quiet, too stationary, irrelevant. The message sent to the disabled is: You’re out of the narrative, you’re secondary, you’re a burden.

The remarkable thing about the maiden in her tower is not her immobility; it’s common for disabled people to be abandoned, set adrift, waiting at bus stops or watching out the windows, forgotten in institutions or stranded in our houses. The remarkable thing is that she’s like a beacon, turning her tower into a lighthouse; people want to come to her, she’s important, she inspires through her appearance and words and craftwork.  In medieval romances she gives gifts, write letters, sends messengers, and summons lovers; she plays chess, commissions ballads, composes music, commands knights. She is her household’s moral centre in a castle under siege. She is a castle unto herself, and the integrity of her body matters.

That can be so revolutionary to those of us stuck in our towers who fall prey to thinking: Nobody would want to visit; nobody would want to listen; nobody would want to stay.

#it’s so so important to remember that representation is not one-size-fits-all#what is empowering to one person might be exhausting and oppressive to someone else#some people need stories about having the strength to save themselves#some people need stories about being considered worthy of being saved#some people need inspiration for their independence while others need validation that they don’t have to be able to do everything themselves#before you lash out against something PLEASE stop to consider:#is this inadequate and/or damaging representation?#or is it just something I don’t personally relate to? [X]

[star-anise]

It’s been half a decade and I still haven’t found an articulation of the complexity of “representation” as concisely and precisely mindblowing as @hungrylikethewolfie’s here.

[jkl-fff]

I would add, too, that what OP implicitly expresses in this analogy is that “the maiden in the tower” is still respected as an agent and not relegated to being an object.

An agent is a person with will power, a person who makes choices, a person who acts according to their own desirea. That’s actually the root meaning of the word, “one who acts”. Whereas an object is just a thing with no power to make decisions for itself.

OP’s “the maiden in the tower” has physical or mental-emotional limitations, sure. After all, the maiden is (most directly) a metaphore for being disabled. But the maiden is still respected enough as a person (by others or by the narrative) to be able to makes choices within those limitations. Those choices are then treated (by others or by the narrative) like they matter. That’s the important part.

Compare OP’s “the maiden in the tower” with a stereotypical “the damsel in distress”. The real problem with that trope is that the damsel is not an agent in the story, but merely an object. The damsel is ostensibly a person, yes, yet the narrative and the characters don’t treat her like a person; she might as well be a thing (like an amulet or a really good burrito) for all that she’s allowed to act on her own desires. It’s not a sexist trope just because it’s about a woman needing to be saved, but because the woman herself doesn’t actually matter to a story that is supposed to be about saving her.

(However, the real problem still applies even when the damsel in a given story is a man. Because, again, “the damsel in distress” might as well be a thing for all that they’re allowed to act on their own desires.)
