thinking about cult au, wherein they discover that their beloved creator has disabilities and so of course, everyone gladly accomodates and provides them what they need and more
idk if wheelchairs are a thing in teyvat but whether or not they aren't, they'll make a more special one just for you
you could describe the concept of a wheelchair to them if they don't know, or you could also describe the kinds of wheelchairs we have in our world, like those ones that could be controlled by a joystick
i feel like they could make one of those with machines easy but again they want it to be ✨ special ✨ and more fitting of your status, so what do they do?
make a floating chair out of some plaustrite (the material used to make the jade chamber float) and, like the jade chamber, implement some sort of controls for it to allow you to move it wherever you want, and also control the elevation: if you wanted it to float higher or stay close to the ground
it'd be really useful if you wanted to get up a flight of stairs or maybe just reach something from the top of the cabinets and didn't have anyone to help
alternatively, if you did have access to elemental abilities or any otherwordly powers as the god of this world, you'd probably have no problem controlling it without those controls
just. floating chair like in sci-fi movies but except it's fancy and made with magic rock LOL
i can also imagine the fact that their creator is disabled will also encourage accessibility for the pwd's and senior citizens, bc honestly have you SEEN the amount of stairs in mond and liyue. not everyone can have a fancy floating magic rock chair
mond has so many stairs, especially the way up to the church?? i'd get tired climbing all the way up there, what more for seniors and pwd's?? they don't even have ramps TT
liyue also has lots of stairs, and even the way to the pharmacy is a bit of a climb
and i guess liyue does have some ramps? but they're a bit too steep to actually. pass through i think
on another note, i also wonder if there are options for prosthetics in teyvat?
like, it wouldn't seem like such a stretch considering they have all of these robots and that people still actively research it
some of the human enemies seem to have robotic arms/enhancements for combat and as armor too
but part of me wonders if they have just simple prosthetics just for everyday use
and also, if disabled people with visions are able to use those visions on themselves
i'm thinking of like... people with dendro visions with twisted vines and branches for missing limbs
maybe cryo can be used to sculpt a limb, and maybe it can be moved in a similar way these sculptures do?
and i wonder if people with visions can make prosthetics with elemental abilities For others, and only have to come back to the maker for maintenance or to somehow replenish the elemental energy in these prosthetics?
anyway yeah, just me thinking about disabilities in teyvat + using elemental abilities for things other than combat
if anyone has any thoughts to share about it i'd love to hear them!! i just think it'd be interesting to think about :]
(and if i did get something wrong, please tell me! admittedly i don't know a lot about disabilities other than what i've seen with a relative of mine so do forgive me and [politely] correct me 🙏)

the thing is i think that like. afab and amab as terms arent like. a bad thing?? like if you're talking about urself and ur assigned gender happens to be relevant and is preferrable to another descriptor (eg if ur dysphoric abt ur body to some it may be easier to say ur agab rather than describing ur features) or describing a situation where thats relevant then like. sure! its just like any other word u just use it cus it makes sense- (note this only applies if YOU'RE using the term when you're talking about YOURSELF)
the problem is that when other people use or ask for someone's agab there's some kind of weird implication that it somehow changes how you behave, and that based on that you can put people into a new binary which shouldnt exist and negatively effects all trans people
people ask if you're amab expecting that to mean you're inherently more patriarchal, dangerous, "masculine" - and if you're afab expecting that to mean you're inherently more quiet, sweet, "feminine" - and BOTH of these fucking suck!!
