It is nice to connect with people. I've had more and better talks about disability with people in ME fandom than I've ever had elsewhere, and I'm incredibly thankful for that, even if some of what's bringing me to these discussions is awful shit I don't want anything to do with.


(I think this hit me harder today than it would have otherwise because I've been roleplaying with someone who gets it. I've been writing Joker for hours on end and processing all these feels through him, and it's so wonderful... and then there's the reminder that I'm writing this character better than canon did, and that the source material doesn't entirely get it, and ugh. Dammit.

Why do you do this to me, Bioware. ;_; )
