#so im working on some disabled whumper stuff
#bc i got many good prompts for it
#and i keep thinking abt this one guy who i think highlights how “prosthetics can be useful but overall theyre clunky and bothersome”
#i used to play tabletennis right
#and this guy was missing a leg
#so he'd wear the prosthetic leg when walking around bc it was easier
#then take it off before he came to play
#he was a MEAN fucking player bro i love him
#i remember my doubles partner saying 'ive heard theres a rule for not dropping the ball right behind the net'
#'bc wheelchair users cant reach it'
#and he grinned and said 'oh dont worry abt it. hit the ball wherever u like'
#him and his doubles partner OBLITERATED us😭😭
#to be very fair these were men in their 40s and we were like 12
#but like we have been competitively playing at that point for years and years and years
#i lost soooo many matches to this man ok
#AND I ALSO MUST HIGHLIGHT. DO U UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MOVEMENT IS NEEDED WHEN U PLAY DOUBLES
#U NOT ONLY HAVE TO REACH THE BALL
#UR CONSTANTLY TRYING TO AVOID CRASHING INTO UR PARTNER
#WHILE ALSO LETTING THEM REACH THE BALL
#THAT MAN WAS NIMBLE
#i think abt him a lot
#also one time when i was like 9 we were sharing one changing room in the sports centre
#and i didnt know that
#(we were usually all afab so it wasnt unusual that the other changing room stayed locked when we had like one (1) man there)
#(we'd just take turns it was no biggie)
#(especially at like 8pm)
#and i go into the room and theres a Leg
#BRO I ALMOST SCREAMED AJSJDKSKSKSKSKSK
#anyway..... back to writing. but i think abt him every time i question whether a disabled person would be able to do A Thing
