I've been watching a lot of supernatural tv lately (obviously) and I am so intrigued by plotlines in which very sick people ask to be turned into [vampires/zombies/etc] to be free from their illness.
but then they get very sick if they don't have [blood/brains/etc]. 🤔

just like, writers, stop doing this.
being completely dependent on a difficult-to-access substance in order to keep your body on an even keel is how many illnesses work? better writing could explore this trade-off of one disability for another?

like my illness basically requires me to drink over a gallon of salty water a day if I want to be upright. this is inconvenient for a variety of reasons.
I suspect that having the same relationship with like human blood would be... not necessarily better?

there's just this pervasive attitude (in the world & also media) that it is always better to have a perceived healthy body at literally any financial / temporal / emotional cost, and it's a big tell that you have an ableist writer's room.
