Any Pronouns! This is my oldest blog but its also my side. My main blog is MCYT/Minecraft. This is mostly for Warriors, probably! 18, Queer, and disabled.
It’s hard to add anything to this, just that its so ignorant of the Erins to include ableism in the series, and for it to go unaddressed.
It’s one thing to introduce these subjects into a franchise, it’s another to include those themes and leave them NEARLY UNCHALLENGED.
To be clear- Cinderpelt finding a new sense of purpose and direction as a medicine cat OF HER OWN FREE WILL after suffering a life-changing injury is not ableism. Firestar constantly feeling sorry for her when she's clearly happy and lamenting the fact that she never got to be a Warrior every time she so much as crosses his line of sight is ableism.
Briarlight being physically unable to preform traditional Warrior duties and finding other things that she can do around camp that make her feel good about herself as a contributing member of her community is not ableism (though they really should've explored it more). Millie explicitly saying that Jayfeather keeping her daughter alive is only prolonging her suffering and that she will always have an "incomplete" life is ableism.
Longtail choosing to retire to the elders den early because he feels unable to comfortably preform his Warrior duties after the loss of his sight is not ableism. Jayfeather being told his blindness means he has no other choice but to become a medicine cat and then being bullied into it by the adults in his life and even his ancestors, despite the fact that he states again and again that he wants to be a Warrior, is ableism.
Disabled characters existing, and not being able to do all of the things that fully abled characters can do is not the problem, and rewriting them to be able to do everything able bodied warriors can is not the solution. The problem is denying disabled characters agency, refusing to accept that they can find happiness and fulfillment in non-traditional roles in Clan life, and treating their lives as though they are somehow diminished by their disabilities.
and remember folks! MCU is made by fucking cowards, give us the life we want to live, thanks <33
Yeah seeing the trailer for Multiverse of Madness at the end of No Way Home was nice, but the post credits scene should have, instead, been a solid 30 seconds of Foggy scolding Matt for catching the fucking brick
what was that thing that Foggy said about Matt attracting mentally ill but attractive people ? because. mm . mmmm. tumblr sure do be out here living up to Foggy’s theory .
