Disabled Characters - Tumblr Posts

Cover art from @spielzeugkaisers-trash-bin
Trigger warnings at beginning of every chapter and tldr at the end.
Updated my AO3/Wattpad fic.
For some reason I have around 200 reads on AO3 and about 20 on Wattpad. Is it because my art isn't that pretty?

hey so since i just remembered that july is disability pride month i figured i'd go off since no1 can do shit, so let's unpack this post and y this bs of ppl saying every disabled character [especially those in queer relationships] is "child coded" pisses me off so much so i wanna start by saying that the term "child coded" does hav it's place, like w/ the whole 1000 year old dragon loli bs where the character is drawn exactly like how the artist draws kid characters, possibly also the characters even straight up calling them a loli or the character acting like an actual child or being treated like an actual child and them being a 1000 year old dragon is just an excuse 4 the piece of media they r in 2 put them in sexual situations [insert way 2 many anime as reference here] [dragon maid being 1 of them] or the other type of this trope where a character is literally stated 2 meant 2 appear like a child but is an adult and is still put in sexual/adult romance situations even tho it's stated they r meant 2 look like a child and it's clear that that's something the txt is playing into [huni from oran high school host club being a good example] [according 2 the wiki last time i checked it says that it was literally stated in the manga that he's meant 2 look 8 but he works at a host club and the story clearly plays into that given that his nickname is "the boy lolita", at least in the anime]
my problem is that some ppl want 2 act like disabled coding and child coding is the same thing and say that every disabled character is "child coded" and then from there say that they shouldn't b in relationships and ppl who use the term child coded 4 every disabled character seem 2 b even more likely 2 do so when the character is also in a queer relationship or when the fandom ships them in a queer relationship or has a queer headcanon 4 them
the most common type of misuse i've seen of this term tho is when ppl r shipping a character in a queer relationship and then some1 who is obviously made uncomfortable by queer stuff tries 2 say that the ship is a pedo ship by saying that they think 1 of the characters is child coded and this is a problem that has multiple layers bc w/ how it's being misused in this way it shows the following abt the person misusing it;
1] they c disabled ppl as children [especially feminine presenting and queer disabled ppl]
2] they don't want disabled ppl 2 b in relationships
3] they c all relationships w/ a disabled person as pedo shit
4] they don't want queer ppl in relationships
5] they c all queer relationships as pedo shit and so they look 4 any excuse 2 call it pedo shit even tho at least 90% of the time it's literally not
ppl rly do like 2 say that every disabled character in a queer relationship is child coded huh?
Felt an urge to make this
“We need more disabled characters where it is shown that their life is worth living” you guys could barely handle Iron Might.
Stop Making Psychosis A Villainous Trait Challenge
I used a reference from @kibbitzer for these! My character, Adler, without his prosthetic leg :)
Disability pride month with: The Lost Blueprints cast!! From left to right: Boriav has a blade prosthesis, potential PTSD from the experience of losing his leg. Kiddry is autistic with low support needs, and has selective mutism. Edaamp is also autistic, having fluctuating support needs if things are tough, and has prominent separation anxiety. Marrit is partially blind in their right eye, and has auditory processing disorder. Burbyy has ADHD, is partially deaf in her right ear, has bipolar, and OCD. Skaben also has ADHD and is also deaf, though is fully deaf in his left ear, has depression and BPD. And Telede has ADD, and sometimes uses a cane if their psionics act up too a harmful degree. Their psionics alone are similar to a chronic illness in a way, due too spontaneously acting up when forcefully activated, like being grabbed for example. It may also cause Tel to have memory loss. Extra Telede doodles:

Practicing drawing Tel with their crutchesss
The music note charm on the right crutch was a gift from Glabam, a hand made trinket to keep Tel feeling confident when needing to use them after psionic flair-ups. Striking a pose also helps this life bound player still feel capable to do what he loves, which can mean a few things but, all are true-

Help A Writer for FREE
Hello! My name is Michelle Allen and I’ve been writing books for more than fifteen years. Recently, I entered my newest work into the Amazon Velleys! While I’m interested in growing my audience and gaining readers for my current and future projects, I will also admit a big part of entering this contest was for a shot at the prize money. Like many, I’ve been struggling to make ends meet since the pandemic. So, if you’re a fan of fantasy novels with grounded stakes, this is your opportunity to find your next read while also potentially helping a disabled, genderqueer author get back on their feet!
In order to qualify for the judging stage, I need more readers! If the synopsis below sounds like something you’d enjoy, consider giving my story a like and a follow! The first ten chapters are free, and so is your support if you can offer it! And, if you’re a fan of my work, I can keep you up to date on any future projects.
Synopsis:
In the land of Phylia, the Plusos make the rules, and Vulos are required to follow them. As a doctor and the ward of one of the most highly respected Elder Plusos in her city-state of Sari, Plusos Dara is well aware of this. For years, she has resigned herself to quietly bending the laws by teaching Vulos via autopsies and stolen medical books. However, when a decision by the leaders of Phylia threatens to ruin the lives of those she tries to help, silence and secrecy are no longer options.
I appreciate any support you can give to me and my writing! All royalties will go toward helping me get back on my feet and saving for top surgery!
Part 3 Writing Advice: Stop The Self-Hating Narrative Around Disability
I'm BACK! I was working on some other Tumblr posts but i've decided to fulfill my promise to talk about the common associations people seem to have between disability and self-hatred.
You remember my own slogan "Disabled Adults Are Adults", right?
Well, here is the slogan for the majority of writers who are bad at writing good disability representation "Disabled Adults Are Tragic :`(
This association comes into everything so we'll go from the small chunks of ableist LOOORE~ and then move onto the really big ticket items? Right!
Assistive Aids Are Traps Designed By The Illuminati!
What do these common literary phrases have in common?
Confined to a Wheelchair
Forced to Use a Cane
Cursed To Always Use [Assistive Aid]
The answer: they are exceedingly negatively charged which incorrectly imply that mobility aids such as wheelchairs are horrible fates to be falled upon! This implication that living with disability is such a curse tends to be most forced upon "understandable" villains and sympathetic "tragic" figures who are "unbearably cursed" with a horrid fate
Those phrases are horrible not just because they incorrect imply that devices such as wheelchairs and other mobility aids are curses when, in reality, the individuals who use these assistant aids desperately need them in order to exercise their full potential but also due to the fact that it's an able-bodied centric perspective!
People who actually use these devices don't see them as unbearable weights bringing them down but tools of freedom and autonomy. Obviously, independence is not necessary to lead a fulfilling life but it's a nice cherry on top!
This "able-bodied centric perspective" will come up again!
Curing Disability
At the end of the story i'll cute and sweet protagonist/main character will be forcibly mutilated into an able-bodied person either by machinery in a sci-fi setting or through the gods.
p.s that's just eugenics. eugenics is what the nazis did
Curing disability doesn't just mean a literal cure but also the overall narrative of "overcoming" disability tends to be here.
"Overcoming disability" is when an author implies that through a character's dedication they have "overcame" the limitations of their disability and are functionally no longer disabled.
Basically, if you have a disabled character whose jokes tend to center on "wow, I always forget you are disabled" or "I am the author and I keep forgetting this character has a disability", you have this trope.
The reason why this is shitty is because you, able-bodied author, have disabled readers. Disabled readers of various different types of disabilties who are reading your story.
Can you imagine if every single story of an able-bodied character involved them being forcibly turned disabled as a "reward" for their good behavior?
Can you imagine if every story involving a queer character involved that singular queer character being turned into a cishet individual?
"Disabled people still exist even when your character stops being disabled"
All you have done is tell disabled and non-disabled audience members that disabled people don't deserve to exist. That's bad.
Final: The Self-Hating Narrative
"Disabled Adults are Adults"
When I was inventing that phrase, I knew it needed to be universally applicable. The only reason I specificed "adults" and not "people" was due to the fact I was talking about infantilization in the first part and I didn't want someone to be like "well, obvi special needs kids are going to be treated delicately".
Anyway, the phrase needed to be universal because disabled adults are just people at the end of the day. They struggle with some not universal things like chronical illness or disability. They also struggle with the universal things like: can I support my family, am I ready, will the bank be closed by the time I wake up, can I be a good person?
They also succeed. Sometimes this success is in the form of gaining more mobility then before. Sometimes this success will seem minor to not disabled people or even to disabled people who have never struggled with that particular thing before.
They also succeed at things we succeed at. They create what has never been created before. They prove to themselves that they can be relied on. They laugh when they struggle.
Yes, they sometimes hate themselves. But even then, they continue on. They struggle with their symptoms day-to-day on top of succeeding in the daily struggles we all deal with. They deal with ableist remarks while also having fun.
Disability Is Normality
Many disabled adults and children are fighting for the right to see narratives in which their lives aren't plagued by melodramatic angst about being disabled.
Many disabled adults and children go about their daily lives with an overwhelming confidence about their disability and don't give a shit about what ableist remark you have to say.
And one of the most important things an author needs to be if they ever want to write true, inspiring, and universal works is to listen to voices of those they wish to represent.
If an author wants to represent disabled people living disabled lives in fantasy and reality, they need to listen to the perspectives of those who are actually living those lives. Sure, they may be lacking in terms of how to fly a dragon but humanity is humanity with or without the added uniqueness.
If an author just takes a ableist-covered crap-filled myths of what disability is like, expect backlash! Or maybe expect nothing, disabled adults have way too many concerns to be dealing with your sorry ass.
The fairies:
A group of self-proclaimed researchers that established themselves inside the ruins of the dragon keep. Fairies collect and gather knowledge from all around the world and provide guidance to those who need it.
Fairies are pathologically honest and will always speak their mind, but they are also very protective of the information they gather, only sharing what is essential to make their point. Fairies tend to be perceived as callous and manipulative and most people see these creatures with mistrust and superstition. Very little is known about their species and only 6 fairies have ever been observed in Narkaas.
Morgan the Sky fairy (they/them) The purple fairy is deeply introverted, resulting in very sparse appearances compared to their peers. They are both a dreamer and a cynic, preferring the refuge of fairytales and music to any kind of social interaction. They can be found in very high places, such as mountains or the top of buildings, but will only engage with people they find interesting enough. They are the first person that Lady encounters on her journey and appear to have a particular interest in her quest.
Fomore the Tears fairy (she/her) The blue fairy is known to appear before those who are dying or grieving. She is a brooding and gloomy individual, with a fascination for the tragic and morbid. She can be found most often in graveyards, especially those in proximity to water. She spends most of her time reading, dancing, and quietly enjoys the sounds of the sea and rain.
Loki the Wild Fairy (any/all) A free and untamed spirit by nature, the green fairy's appearances are common but unpredictable. Loki enjoys meeting new people and tending to their plants. They tend to get into long rambles about whatever interests them at the moment and often get distracted. Loki is a fan of any place with plants and can often be found tending to the plants of any old forest or garden.
Agni the flame fairy (she/her) The red fairy appears to those who pursue progress or change. She has a fierce and hard-working temper and is most often found near any kind of machinery, working to either build or repair experimental devices. She is kind but tough and judgemental, having little patience for fools and cowards.
Baal the Heart fairy (he/him) The yellow fairy appears to those seeking love or joy. Baal hangs around public places, offering romantic advice and fresh baked goods to those he meets. He is known as a hedonist and a tempter, luring people to indulge in self-gratifying vices. Despite his sweet and caring exterior, Baal is known to get very petty and toxic toward those who upset him.
Yami the Light fairy (they/them) By far the most recluse and elusive fairy. The grey fairy only appears to those who settle on a long and dangerous quest for forbidden knowledge. They spend most of their days meditating in dark and quiet places, away from any civilization.
The ironwoods
Robert Ironwood (He/Him) is the leader of the ironstrikers, an infamous group of thieves and insurgents that lurks in new eden underground. Despite his age and physical condition, ironwood is a fierce and cunning man, leading many strikes and attacks against the city authorities and the wealthy families they protect.
Ironwood lives alone with his granddaughter (She/Her), a stern, mistrusting but caring young woman who serves as his advisor and confidant. The girl cares little for her grandfather's ambitions, preferring to follow her own goal of finding a girlfriend, but she remains very loyal and protective of the man who raised her and would harshly punish anyone who would dare come after him.
Ashes and Cynders: (He/Him, They/Them)
A pair of blind ex-cultists who have decided to venture together into their own search for forbidden knowledge. Ashes is the skeptic of the pair, a man who seeks logical answers to the mysteries he encounters while his partner Cynders favors the pursuit of the mystique, finding answers in the rumors and legends that emerges from the shadows.
Despite their differences, the pair are incredibly close and it is said that anyone who befriend one of them, befriends both of them.
Let's make February the marauders non-men month like last year!!! For a calendar (which day is for who) search death boy (Taylor's version) on tiktok.
Today is Emmeline Vance day so I wanna share some of my headcanons:
One year older than the marauders
Halfblood
Vietnamese
Ambulatory wheelchair user, but still can fly and is quite good at quidditch (seeker)
Hufflepuff
Her mother was very strict and put a lot of pressure on her to academically succeed, so she was an overachiever
Had two older sisters who were both in Ravenclaw (her mom was very disappointed when she was sorted into Hufflepuff)
VERY hardworking and loyal
Childhood friends with Emma Vanity and Benjy Fenwick, roommates with Amelia Bones and Hestia Jones
Lesbian - she/her
This is more Emmary, but I 6th year (Mary's 5th) she was helping Lily prepare for the OWLs and Marlene with Mary joined after some time. Then her and Mary started to fall in love and even send secret letters over the summer. Their first kiss was in November 1976 in a.... BROOM CUPBOARD!!! (ik VERY original)
Her parents were homophobic and toxic, so she kinda cut ties with them after leaving hogwarts (she still kept in touch with her sisters)
Between the wars she was training new aurora (including Tonks)
She died trying to protect others and the Prime Minister
Mary was heartbroken after her death
That's it for now! If you've got any questions about the wheelchair one I think they have some wizarding accomodations so she can fight in it and stuff.
Bucky is a disabled amputee and that should still be true in AU’s and fics in general
I don’t care if it “““DoEsN’t FiT wELL””” with your Stucky Coffee Shop AU, unless a fic is exclusively pre or during the war then he should be an amputee and if a fic is exclusively pre-war then Steve should be disabled because that’s what he was pre-serum. The reason why this is so important to me is because it’s important to have representation for disabled characters and we can’t just erase that.
The only time when neither one of them were disabled was during the few years between Steve getting the serum and Bucky falling off the train.
Also, fun fact, the type of amputation that Bucky has is either a shoulder disarticulation or (more likely considering how far the metal arm goes into his shoulder) a forequarter amputation.
And now, here are some suggestions for how to explain why his left arm and shoulder are missing: Cancer, him still being a war vet who lost it in action, an accident involving heavy machinery and bad safety precautions, a very large and extremely infected wound in his shoulder or the “very revolutionary” idea of just not saying how he lost his arm but still referencing every once in awhile that it’s missing and how he’s affected by it.
As a vision disabled person, that's a FINE FUCKING LINE YOU'RE TREADING THERE, BUDDY! Let's, just real quick, go through some scenarios. .1.) I take off my glasses. I pick up a pan and try to make soup. Can I? NO! NO I CANNOT! It isn't infantilization to say I cannot make soup without my glasses! 2.) I take off my glasses. I go to my sewing machine and try to work on one of my cosplays. Can I? NO! NO I CANNOT! It isn't infantilization to say I cannot sew without my glasses! 3.) I take off my glasses. I go on a nice walk around the block. Can I? NO! NO I CANNOT! It isn't infantilization to say I cannot walk around outside without my glasses! Disabilities do disable you. There's a reason they're called disabilities. They make you unable to do things. Jiaoqiu is likely completely blind, which I am not. If I, someone who still has some vision, struggle to perform basic tasks like cooking and sewing without my glasses, you cannot expect someone who lacks vision entirely to perform those same tasks without an immense amount of effort and practice.
Now let's go over some things that ARE infantilization. 1.) Making him need help with simple tasks like bathing. I don't wear my glasses when bathing, and I get on just fine by memory. He would not need help with that. (Due to trauma, he should be at least lightly supervised for around a week to make sure he isn't a danger to himself, but that's a different problem.) 2.) Making him struggle in conversation. He doesn't need someone to speak on his behalf, and he is likely perfectly capable of understanding the other person's emotions using only their tone of voice. He would not struggle with conversation. 3.) Making his vision the center of his character. Blindness isn't a mental condition. It will affect how you go about tasks, not how you think. He still has a personality outside of being blind.
Making other characters lead him around is NOT infantilization. MANY blind people have service animals or service workers to help them. Those people are not made lesser by their need for outside assistance. (Also, point worth noting, "Great we got Hoyo disabled rep!" gives the implication that we didn't have any before, which we did. Both Herrschers of Reason from HI3 are disabled. Baizhu, Yelan, Qiqi, Collei and Xiao from Genshin are disabled. This is only counting physical disabilities. I don't know if that was OP's intent, but that was how it came across.)
Great we got Hoyo disabled rep!!! Let's not be fucking morons and infantilise them now mkay????
