turning cregan stark into a shippable twink *frantically flipping through five hundred pages of notes* is, it’s praxis. It’s actually radical and important work you know. Actually, it’s activism

& the way that izzy was a newly visibly disabled character & instead of showing that disabled people can live happy lives they killed him.
& im sure that wasn’t the intention, & yes they showed him living a loving life before this, they showed the people around him really showing up for him as a newly disabled man and as an audaciously queer man & I do think that until this moment they DID do a good job of showing that Izzy’s no less lovable or capable when he’s disabled. The crew show up for him time and time again, loving him fully and helping him gain access and mobility, Stede goes to him for training, he’s still utterly himself.
& truly I don’t think the writers were trying to comment on the worthiness of disabled people, but the impact always outweighs the intent and all the disabled people (visible or invisible) who found a piece of themselves in izzy & were heartened by the way he was loved will feel this.
I don’t wanna blow this out of proportion bc I know it’s just tv & Izzy is alive forever in my mind palace & I know that disabled people are limitelessly lovable and our queer elders are limitlessly lovable but I am really and truly bummed.
