Disabled Aelwyn who uses crutches.

Aelwyn who can’t go back to school to finish her wizzard studies, who starts researching different ways to bend magic to her will.

Aelwyn, who has always had a knack for creating new spells, starting to tinker at her own crutches, weaving wards into the framework.

Aelwyn, for who good is not good enough, caves and asks Gorgug for help. Who finds a way to make her crutches extend, bend and move to support her arms, elbows, shoulders. Makes them connect to her back, her hips, down her legs .

They no longer look much like crutches anymore, it’s a thin, light framework that supports her entire body, that moves her exactly the way she wants, that allows her to stand with her back straight for more than 5 minutes for the first time in two years. The exoskeleton glows with abjurative runes and the outline of a powerfull ward is visible over her body, deflecting blows like steel armor.

New spells rest in her memory, mechanical and precise if nature in a way that the arcane inks in her spelbook can’t articulate. Spare the Dying, Resistance, Cure Wounds, Sanctuary.

Her joints still ache, she tires fast and even after all this time it is still hard to control the venom in her words, still hard to accept help and kindness without it feeling like a wool blanket on freshly flayed skin. But she has found something that is wholly hers, found something to be proud of that isn’t tinged with approval from her parents.

Aelwyn still can’t walk without support, but the frame folding her up is crafted by her own hands. Maybe everything will be allright.

#to I had some ideas for a artificer multiclass for Aelwyn #she has the armorer specialty #the rules say the arcane armor can replace any missing limbs and circumvents any strength requirement #so i feel like making it function as a mobility aid is not much of a stretch #also i think the inscribed ward thing is a neat explanation for why there is no strength requirement #while still giving the mechanical bonus of armor #can you tell i thought about this a lot #feel absolutely free to use sny part of this idea in any fic you may write #please reblog with the link so i can go insane over it #aelwyn abernant #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fantasy high sophomore year #disabled Aelwyn abernant #multiclass #dnd #also please share your thoughts on disabled Aelwyn

As a disabled person, disabled Aelwyn Abernant is so important to me

People who write/draw HC Aelwyn

- With memory issues

- Having chronic fatigue

- Using a cane/other mobility aids

- Having a service animal (cat)

- With OCD

- Having developed mobility issues post orb incident/the trauma to her body

Know that you have my whole heart and I am kissing you on the mouth

There’s no way she went through what she went through and didn’t come out disabled to some capacity

#my post #I love Aelwyn she’s so important to me #and people depicting her as disabled will always be insanely important to me #aelwyn abernant #aelwyn o'shaughnessey #fantasy high #d20 fhjy #dimension twenty #fhjy #dimension 20 #dimension 20 fantasy high

Change

Aelwyn still remembers the day that Adaine had her stroke. She had been six years old when Adaine had fallen to the ground and not gotten back up. Her little sister had been rushed to the Fallinel healers by her parents who had snapped at her to stay where she was. Aelwyn had waited and waited and waited for them to return. When they did, Adaine was never the same.

Or: Aelwyn reflects on her sister who grew up disabled and herself, who has recently become disabled.

I saw @paladinbaby‘s Aelwen fanart like three months ago where Aelwyn was in a wheelchair and I have no recollection of that being cannon (maybe it is and this is just me being redundant) but in my heart of hearts I know it fucking is. Aelwen Abernant is a wheelchair user.

I’m thinking about the cartilage in her knees and ankles and how that would have worn away as constant use and pressure on her joints continued as she walked and walked and walked in that hamster wheel. Shin splints and strange muscle development and possible broken bones from weeks of constant and repetitive impact. She probably lives in chronic pain that fluctuates with the weather and the food she eats and what she did yesterday and how/where she slept. Her hips probably grind in their sockets too because your body isn’t meant to walk for so long.

Her bones are probably fragile from the lack of food too and she might be more prone to breaking them if she falls. She can probably walk with or without mobility aids some or even most days and maybe the wheelchair and canes and crutches were something she had a hard time coping with at first but then her new family helped her to realize that they were something she needed and something that made her life less painful and gave her more freedom and more time in the day that she didn’t need to spend bedridden and in pain. Maybe she even loves her mobility aids now and she decorates her cane with stickers and puts lights on her wheels and her sister’s friends think it looks so fucking cool that she couldn’t think it was dumb if she wanted to.

I think she probably has a hard time with food too. Sensitivities to things she was perfectly fine with before because it’s just Too Much for her body now after having been kept in the bubble. Maybe she even had an ng tube after she got home and realized she couldn’t physically eat enough to sustain her recovery. Maybe Jawbone replaced the tape on her cheek with a butterfly sticker that is made for kids and it might’ve been a little too soon for him to have made such a fatherly gesture and she tore it off her face and yelled at him to leave her alone but then he left her the box with the rest of the stickers and she realized he was just trying to be nice to her and maybe he really isn’t so bad.

Maybe Jawbone and Adaine go to all of Aelwen’s doctors appointments and make sure that she’s keeping up with her physical therapy and they drink all the weird calorie dense protein shakes her nutritionist makes her try and maybe she takes the bad kids clothes shopping with her to help her find outfits that look cute but don’t have weird gaps in the chest when you’re standing above her and she’s in her wheelchair.

Maybe Aelwyn Abernant is disabled. Maybe she feels guilty claiming the label because yesterday she didn’t even use her cane at all and her knees barely hurt. Maybe the preppy cheerleader Aelwyn Abernant who didn’t know what the word disability meant before facing it herself had a really fucking hard time learning to accept herself as a disabled adult with a dead dad and a sister who should hate her. Maybe Aelwyn cries herself to sleep because she feels bad that she’s mad that her body doesn’t work the way it used to because she’s learned to be proud of her disability and she feels like a hypocrite wishing she wasn’t in pain every fucking day.

Maybe Aelwyn Abernant has deeply complex emotions and really cool AT and a loving family and a huge group of supporters and maybe she even has an online blog where she talks about it all

What's your favourite Dimension 20 fanfic/fanfics?

I read this one which I enjoyed about Aelwyn Abernant <3 becoming a paladin. I fucking love when the mechanics mean things and stats change because people change hhhhh I am feral about it.

Yeah bonus points if your fic recs include use of mechanics!!!

There is also this series which I come back to because I too wish to project my chronic illnesses and/or problems onto fictional characters.

Additional bonus points if your fic has disabled characters, I am disabled and I make the rules for this point system.

Excited for people's faves, please post links!!!! Rec as many as you like.

Can be long or short fics, no rules except you just have to have had a good time and/or felt feelings while reading the fic.
