The Relatability Of Characters That Are Stitched/sewn/stapled/ball-jointed Etc Together As Someone With

The relatability of characters that are stitched/sewn/stapled/ball-jointed etc together as someone with Ehlers Danlos

Every single character of this vein has eds TO ME! and they have been vital representation in a world that likes disabled people more when they're metaphors.

I was wondering if anybody else with eds also found solace in these more literal interpretations of what it means to be physically falling apart at the seams?

I have Thoughts about this scene. One of them being "Morgan looks like he either wants to CRY or shout 'Baby girl, I. Am. Right. Here. What you need some other man for?' and it's fueling my Morcia loving heart".

Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.

She had Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

and I am TIRED of pretending like she didn't! she's who I had as chronic pain representation before I had characters like victor from arcane. SHE was the first time I saw someone with a "normal" body uncontrollably writhe in pain, who could barely walk sometimes because of it, who had their every waking moment effected by it.

"Every cell in my body is torn apart and stitched back together, over and over every day" This line, the delivery of it, the combination of it with everything we've seen of her, I felt it. I have been feeling it. I will continue to feel it every day of my life. Sure she might have fictional illness number 34462398573948 but if that's the closest we can get I'll take it.

Is she a villain who falls under the disability being the motive for villainy trope? Yes. but she is at least sympathetic and they spend enough time with her pain to make it relatable. Do I love that she's a villain? absolutely not, but I didn't really get a choice in picking who I see myself in. They don't make characters with pain like this, at least not enough for me to cherry pick my favorite. Genuinly the only other one I can think of right now is Viktor from arcane, who (spoiler alert) IS ALSO A VILLIAN even if he's better representation / even MORE sympathetic than miss ma'am over here.

Every time we get disabled or chronically ill characters in a tv show I actively fall platonically in love with them. The boost of serotonin I get from being represented in the MOST BADASS way speaks to the real-life aspect of living with pain or having physical limitations imposed on you. You grow out of them, and you thrive despite them (sometimes BECAUSE of them) and I think that is really poetic, and lovely, and I love these characters so much. Shut up, I'm fine

Made this a couple days ago but decided to join in on the trend!
