I want a cutscene in the next Witcher game where Geralt stands up and his joints all snap and pop like a glowstick please lmao
He also has to do the very long drawn out 'HNNNNNNNNN' sound from sitting down too long
Geralt spending a minute having to pace around and bend his arm and knee into ridiculous positions whilst mumbling "Just fucking snap" to himself is what I crave in life
Geralt, crouching down: *a sudden snap from his knee*

Geralt: ....

Jaskier: Are you alright?

Geralt: Yeah.

Jaskier: You sure?

Geralt: ....Help me get back up.
Jaskier threatening to strangle Geralt if he doesn't put his knee brace back on and take care of himself for once lmao
Geralt having a bad flare up day where he just lies on his bedroll not talking to anyone, in incredible amounts of pain but knowing his potions will only exacerbate the symptoms.

Jaskier just makes him a warm compress and sits beside him, offering support whilst they wait it out

Geralt of Rivia & the Importance of Disabled Protagonists

A Thread.

Geralt of Rivia is disabled.

That statement always surprises people, even fans of the series. But it's true. It's just that people only remember how Geralt is shown in- 1/20 Geralt of Rivia from CDPR's The Witcher 3Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia from Netflix's The Witcher sh
the CDPR videogames - a grizzled but able-bodied monster hunter - without realising that CDPR removed that disability.

'It's only a disability, it's not that important' you may say, but it's actually VERY important. Geralt becomes disabled shortly towards the end of novel- 2/20
Time of Contempt after taking a severe injury that shatters his elbow and his thighbone and leaves him screaming in agony and delirious until the Dryads help him.

'But he was healed by the Waters of Brokilon!' I hear you book fans decry and you're right, Geralt was healed- 3/20

Okay! This is a fun one, so strap in:

Cyberpunk as a genre deals with prosthetics and cyberware used to make people 'more than human', but they lose their humanity along the way, becoming more machine than person. A really big example of this outside of the Cyberpunk brand- 1/10
but within the cyberpunk genre is Shadowrun, in which there is an actual address of this concept in a mechanic form 'Humanity' - the more cyberware one gets, the less human they are perceived to be.
Now, why is this an issue?
Cyberpunk, both brand and genre, hasn't ever- 2/10
truly accounted for disabled people despite having prosthetics be a part of its culture. You're probably thinking 'well, if cyberpunk has prosthetics, it must have thought of disabled people!' and that's where you're wrong.
Cyberware and prosthetics, both in genre and- 3/10

1) Buddy, the thread is about how we shouldn't be making villains who are only evil because they are disabled and want to hurt others because of it. The thread covers that yes, Maul was evil before, but his grudge against Obi-Wan wasn't about Obi-Wan amputating his lower body 1/5
but about how his defeat cost him his position as a Sith Apprentice.

2) When able bodied people try to 'explore' the experience of disability it always falls into pitfalls of ableism. Consider, for example, the fact that Darth Vader's suit is *deliberately subpar* in order- 2/
to keep Vader in constant chronic pain to fuel his anger and make him continue to be evil. Boy howdy, Mr Lucas, that sure does smack of ableism! Disabled people don't want to hurt others because of their disability. That's gross.

3) My use of 'ableism' is absolutely fine in- 3/

Darth Maul & Disabled Villains

A thread:

I get asked a lot about #ttrpg #dnd villains and disability. In popular media, you often find villains who are disabled because disfigurement and "body horror" are staples that usually connote 'bad' or 'evil'. 1/23 Darth Maul from Star Wars: ...
The horror genre is built on fear of the 'other'. We are expected to fear things that are different from ourselves - therefore able bodied people have fear of the disabled. Villains in stories and media are made to be feared. We as an audience are expected to fear them as- 2/
much as the heroes of the story, if not more so. With media being dominated by white, cisgender, able bodied folks, it's unsurprising then that disability is an aspect frequently shown through villainy. The problem lies in disability being used as a driving force for the- 3/
