#ashton 'in pain constantly and has memory problems from a TBI' greymoore

Once again I am wishing/hoping that Matt and Tal homebrewed a physical disability mechanic for Ashton

#im. SALTY #there are multiple examples in CR of a mental illness getting a mechanic #that actually has consequences #but the first explicitly physically disabled PC has no mechanic for it #ashton 'in pain constantly and has memory problems from a TBI' greymoore #i've mentioned this before but not been quite as angry abt it publicly #bc i wanted to keep giving them the benefit of the doubt #but it's been another dozen episodes and still nothing #let physically disabled characters be DISABLED #fuck!!!!! #'oh but martin they've been so busy! there hasn't been time to deal with ashton's stuff' #'and it would be so inconvenient to have their one strong medium sized character limited physically like that' #mm-hmm. chronic pain and memory issues arent...convenient #they aren't a fun storytelling device #or like...flavor #they cause problems for the person with them and for the people around them #i'm sure that ignoring that is empowering for some people #but not me. #even if it really is that like...ashton pushes through all the pain and doesnt let anybody see it #i really wish they'd start acknowledging that #and maybe they still will! #but i am reaching the point where my 'benefit of the doubt' is waning #still holding onto hope but...waning
