Okay hear me out- my brain has latched onto this HC and I need to share
What if billy batson was a sleigh beggy like in ancient magus bride? (or at least some DC equivalent)
Context incase you have not seen the show: a sleigh beggy is a special breed of humans who have the ability to absorb and generate magic just by breathing, but that puts a constant strain on their body leaving them very fragile and sickly. And in addition they are loved or at least desired by the fae and other magical beings.
Personally I think it fits almost perfectly but I'm curious to hear what others think
First of all, hun, I am so sorry for not getting to this ask sooner, especially since it's been bouncing up a real jamming jazz number in my little head 🎵
Secondly, I think this is an absolute rocking idea!! My knowledge of The Ancient Magus Bride is limited, so thank you for the refresher! That opening song never leaves my mind
Billy being a Sleigh Beggy in canon actually makes a lot of sense, being chosen as the Champion of Magic, his mortal form must be accustomed and acquainted with absorbing high levels of magic and being able to withstand the power of the Wizard when he transforms into Captain Marvel. You can't have someone as the Champion of Magic if they just wither away and crumble to ashes once they get hit by the magical lightning, you need someone like Billy who can handle the power and pain of it all.
I'm all for giving Billy Batson more credit and magical powers when he's just Billy Batson, I think this kid deserves the respect on his name. And as for the effects of being a sleigh beggy leaving his mortal body sick and fragile in the end, mwah, chef kiss 👩‍🍳 it fits perfectly as you say! And Billy being adored by the fae/magical beings is so adorable 💕 Maybe some of his patrons were drawn to chose him because of that--Oh! Maybe that's why Tawky Tawny is his friend, he can't help but want to protect the tiny Sleigh Beggy.
I could also see this going wrong, with Billy attracting the attention of magical beings and creatures just by existing, as this could draw in new enemies out to get him and his powers. Maybe that's another reason why Fawcett city is a hub for magical threats? 🤔

they don't get it. they don't get it.
everything is falling apart and has been for hundreds of years. and people have known. people have known that the world is fucked up and mysterious.
what did they do but run away from it?
but i get it. i don't want to deal with this world any more than anyone else. which is why i want to escape it at the least. or build a better one.
but i won't be a martyr. that seems to be a common mistake or pitfall of being on a spiritual path. fuck that. fuck all that.
i want to enjoy life. but i can't do it with any of the people i've met thusfar. i've never been comfortable around people and it is likely i never will be. maybe because they're not my people.
maybe because i'm not human. sometimes i wonder if it is more than autism and cptsd. if it is in my blood in a way that is more real than anything. if i'm really not human some how.
and at least i can sense it. i think it is pretty obvious to others too. especially when they get close to me.
they see how sad i am. living in this world. they can't understand it?? yet they are not happy either. because the world is fucked up. because the world is wrong. in this we are similar, aren't we?
maybe not. because i have felt that way since i was a toddler. like something was fundamentally wrong with the world and how people are.
yet there are other people who feel like this. i know that. people who are more connected to the spiritual world, to the strange, than to anything this material world has to offer us.
we want healthy relationships, beauty, peace, and understanding above all else. my type of people - whatever they are - maybe we just don't belong here.

PART ONE
PART TWO
PART THREE : A FOX’S WEDDING PREPARATIONS
Tumblr media
The flow of time is erratic and completely unpredictable in the Fairy Kingdom. A day here could be an entire season in the human world or even a week. It is not controlled by the rulers of this plane, so the neighbors cannot be completely blamed when they lure a beautiful human away from their home with enchanting music for the purpose of playing with them until there is nothing left of them, a soulless husk. That was how they entertained themselves for centuries. It would even be considered a sport.  Fortunately, the number of incidents has decreased drastically since I succeeded Elias as the mage of this village. My workload, however, is not the reason why I haven’t been writing in the leatherbound notebooks as I should have been; there is one to record my daily life, and another to document whatever discoveries I make in the field. 
As I am writing this, I am recounting what my houseguest Kusuriuri has told me, word for word. These are his words, not mine. The last memory I have is returning home from a day in the city. I had collected supplies for a lecture at the College. Because I am a Sleigh Beggy, I am much closer to the source of magic than any living creature, save for those who have existed for eons, such as Ashen Eyes and the ancient spirits that surround the forest just beyond the village. That was why the Director invited me to speak to the students, and impart my knowledge to them. Including a lengthy discussion, I was also entrusted with overseeing the first-years interacting with the neighbors, and stepping in if things got out of hand. 
Yet when I stepped into the backroom where I worked, organizing everything for the following morning, I had collapsed. Ruth had been the first one to hear the loud thud, having sat outside of the door curled up in a ball, bored and waiting for dinner to be ready so he could drag me out of there. Silky was in the kitchen, and so was he, Kusuriuri, assisting her in preparing the evening’s meal since he had already gone for a walk around the village and read some books earlier. He claimed to have heard Ruth's barking and followed the sound to see me laying on the floor, unconscious and bleeding from the mouth. 
Silky panicked, naturally, and rushed back to the kitchen to grab the smelling salts and other herbs that Elias had told her to specifically brew as soon as she saw symptoms of magical depletion. Kusuriuri lowered to the ground and lifted me off of the floor, being careful not to jostle me. When he saw Ruth mirroring the same condition as I, he asked him to get back in the shadows, as from what he understood, it is safer for him to maintain his state of mind and spiritual body. He swore to Ruth that he would look after me, doing whatever he could to help. 
It was Ruth who had instructed him to take me to see Shannon, the changeling doctor who has been treating me for my condition. By offering a trinket to the Ariels, he was led to a fairy mound and took me there, bundled up in a thick blanket and a blindfold around my eyes so that my body did not keep unconsciously absorbing the magic around me. They led him past the mound’s barrier, down the evergreen steps and into the Fairy Kingdom where Shannon ran her clinic. 
It appears that as soon as he stepped into the Fairy Kingdom, the glamor charms he had placed on him were removed. The Kusuriuri who now sits beside me in a chair with a strange smile, is the true form of my foxy guest. Wavy light pink hair that reflected orange highlights beneath the realm’s eternal sunlight, cat-yellow eyes, and skin that accentuated the intricate patterns that were painted on his face. The bright, hallucinogenic patterns of his kimono were turned inside out, transforming into greens, reds, and blues against obsidian silk.  He was, is, truly beautiful in such an ethereal way, anyone who could not succumb to his seduction charms would know immediately he was not a human. Then again, seduction charms have ensured that the fox spirits were still alive to this very day and not hunted down tirelessly by exorcists. 
If there is one truth I hate to admit…it is never knowing whether I have used too much magic, or just enough so that I do not keep passing out and getting treatment. I hate being a burden to others, even when I am getting better at asking for help if I truly need it. It is hard to believe that it might already be close to half of a year since Ruth brought him home, injured and very confused in an era of modern society that is nothing like his home country. 
But I am getting ahead of myself. Presently, Shannon is having me undergo extensive treatment, physical and magical therapy to be precise. Angela will need to be contacted to create another talisman to regulate the magic being absorbed and expelled from my body. Kusuriuri….well….he asked me a question that caught me off guard, completely out of the blue.
“At death’s door, you are given two choices: to be young, healthy, and beautiful forevermore….or would allow yourself to be ferried to the afterlife, and be judged for the life you have led as a human?”
Yes. That is what he asked me. And I answered truthfully, because….well, I cannot lie, even if I wanted to. Being an immortal does not give someone the ability to go against the laws of nature and control. Their time is just extended, and soon everything and everyone will return from where they came from; the soil beneath our feet, or the river of magic that sustains all life for the hidden ones.  There is not a single being in this world that is an exception of the inevitable. Looking back, from when I had almost all hope and sold myself on the black market, to being a respectable mage who has come to accept the demons of the past yet cannot forgive those who have harmed me and my loved ones…I’d say I have lived a very fulfilling life.
If I had died that day I blacked out in the lab...I would have only regretted being a burden to Silky and Ruth, for they have been here for me ever since Elias to travel the world on a sabbatical. He stared at me, wide-eyed and mouth hanging open for but only a moment before he smiled softly.  He then stood from his chair, stepping forward and pulling me into his arms, one hand placed on my shoulder and the other resting on the back of my head.
He whispered softly in my ear, two words that startled and confused me greatly. “You pass.” 
Pass? What did I pass, exactly?
Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to ask what he meant because Shannon is now here, announcing it is time for our physical therapy session in the woods, which is why I will stop writing in here until much later, hopefully…
Tumblr media
Kusuriuri watched the changeling and her patient walk away from the cottage towards the forest. Albeit tempted to follow them and become more familiarized with Shannon’s medical methods, he tried not to worry; the red string attached to his pinky reminded him that no matter where or how far he was apart from [First Name], he would always find his bride. There is no doubt that his creator is already aware that the mage had passed his test and was already coordinating with the other gods to prepare the wedding ceremony. Inari-sama always got like this whenever his children found their lifelong companion, acting more like an anxious mother-in-law who wanted everything to be perfect. 
No doubt it would take place in the temple, a traditional procession where the world would go silent as his kindred trailed after the bride, donned in kimonos and masks that coordinated with the clans they were affiliated with. Still…perhaps it was not too much of a stretch to ask his creator to allow him to have a tiny bit of control over the ceremony before things got too out of hand, yes? He is the groom after all. 
He felt his face heat up at the image of [First Name] donned in the white bridal kimono and wearing a fox mask, his heart beginning to hammer against his ribs. Ah…she would be so beautiful that day, he had no doubt. And she will be all his, so very, very, soon.  But he must be patient. He had not waited this long to attain a bride he personally desired by being hasty.  A love like theirs must be gently nurtured, after all. 
The love of a mage and a zenko who kills Mononoke, that is.
And a zenko will always guard what they treasure the most, keep them away from those who would dare to try and claim what is rightfully theirs. 
Bonus Content:
Because his bride possessed the Gift of Sight, [First Name] is able to see the Mononoke as clear as day. This revelation both relieved Kusuriuri and elevated his overprotective nature tenfold, especially when they traveled to Japan for their honeymoon. Neither had expected to cross paths with a highly aggressive bakeneko in the halls of an inn renowned for its hot springs, yet [First Name] proved herself to be highly efficient in using magical tools to keep the Mononoke at bay as well as helping him figure out its Form, Truth, and Regret.
Did he also mention...that she was also exceptionally beautiful when she yelled at him at the top of her lungs to release the Sword of Exorcism as she pushed back against the Mononoke, utilizing strength of The Dragon's Curse that was nestled within her arm?
Perhaps...he'll make more of an attempt to purposely anger if it meant seeing such a lovely expression on her face.

Speaking of Elias,
I have my own theory that Elias is a failed attempt at like— forgive me for the FMAB reference— “equivalent exchange” … hear me out…
So Elias explains to Chise that he can understand why humans feel the emotions they feel but he himself can’t emphasize with them.. why is that? Usually for people to understand logically where an emotion stems from, they have to feel it, identify it, and then understand it. I don’t feel like Elias has always been void of feelings, if anything I feel like he—before whatever tf happened to him— was extremely emotionally intelligent and capable of making bonds with others and that entirely was taken from him.
[Honestly, it would be crazy if we discover Elias use to be a Sleigh Beggy himself and that’s what drove him to dabble in whatever magic he did. And that’s why he’s determined to save another Sleigh Beggy, because he already failed to save himself correctly.]
That’s just a random theory I have, BUT I do strongly believe that season 2 introducing multiple characters that has transformed/transfigured into something other than human is heavy heavy foreshadowing for Elias’ past.
I feel that Elias either felt burdened by his humanity or empathetic ability to the point where he was willing to perform black magic or even “bend the rules of the world” to rid himself of it and it backfired heavily. This not only transformed him into a beast that couldn’t connect with others and in turn prey upon them for food but also robbed him of every aspect he had of being human, with the exception of his soul. (Body, mind, emotions etc)
I truly feel like the only part of Elias that is human is his soul, because the ah-ha moments he has when he is about to re-label an emotion just feels like an “oh shit I forgot that’s what this feels like” and not a “oh thats the name? Okay cool.” It’s like he’s piecing himself back together.
Okay that’s my rant.

[ somwhere to go home to] Morpheus x Reader
[warning: angst: fluff future part]
[terms used sleigh beggy someone whos blood attracts those that of magical creatures term from Ancient Magus Bride]
[y/n] followed the man as they walked towards the auctioning room. staring at the plethora of caged and chained magic creatures, that only a child would imagine or believe in. the cold chain wrapped around their neck, and wrapped around their wrists into handcuffs.
they wanted to be here. they had no choice they had no life outside anymore. no family, no friends, nothing to call home. they wanted somewhere to go home to. they hated themselves for being such a burden for others to bear, to deal with them being a sleigh beggy.
not with the constant amalgamations appearing around them, freaking her relatives out. to the point that they were cast out, [y/n] left alone to fend for themselves.
they stood on the stage for the others attending the auction, their faces covered in masks and robes covering their bodies. a spotlight shined above them, "this is the product you've all been waiting for." the auctioneer announced.
"a rare item, even among our current offerings." he continued, the crowd gasped in awe looking at them. "starting at 500,000."
"1,100,000!"
"1,500,000!"
"1,800,000!"
"2,000,000!"
"2,250,000!"
people shouted in the audience shouting out their bids. as [y/n] stood on the stage unfazed not even batting an eye. they just stood there as people shouted out how much they'd pay to buy them. suddenly a caw was heard from the door, and a man entered the audience hall. in all black as if revealing himself from the shadows.
the auctioneers turned towards him as he walked towards the stage. a raven flew towards the stage and landed, beside [y/n] on the ground. they looked at the black raven curiously until the man, stood before them looking down at them. towering over them. [y/n] gaze turned towards him as they looked into his eyes, they could see the cosmos.
"5,000,000." he says, and the auctioneers gasp in shock hearing his bid. and they look up at him, "It's decided," he says, looking down at [y/n].
"you shall be an apprentice," he says, looking down at them.

Sleigh Beggy (Monster)
Tumblr media
(image taken from Ancient Magus Bride, produced by Wit Studio)
(I love Magus Bride a bit too much, tbh, so I simply HAD to convert Chise to Pathfinder's setting. The nature of magic in Magus Bride is fundamentally different from than in Pathfinder- the tl;dr being that all magic comes from a fey source- so I deliberately tied the template to Fey and changed the rules a bit. I wonder how a sleigh beggy PC would play out. If you're curious, the word "Sleigh Beggy" is a corruption of "Sleih Beggey", a Manx word that means something akin to a generalized "Faerie". To my knowledge, the sleigh beggy as a magically gifted human is entirely original to the manga.)
CR2 CN Medium Humanoid
Sleigh beggy are a rare quality arising in humanoids of many races; they are naturally attuned with the rich magic of the First World. This is a blessing and a curse; it draws magical creatures to the sleigh beggy and gives them a natural affinity for magic (almost all sleigh beggy are sorcerers, or have the capability) and for fey creatures, but mages and fey alike may wish to use the magic inherent in their body for their own purposes.  
Sleigh beggy typically run in the family- it is comparable to a recessive gene, something that shows up occasionally within a bloodline. These bloodlines also almost always carry the touch of magic in them, although this magic does not necessarily tie the beggy to fey.
How a sleigh beggy reacts to her condition varies. Many attempt to hide their condition for fear of being hunted; and indeed, few sleigh beggy survive past young adulthood, between the strain of their magic and the threat of being poached. Those who do pursue magic find themselves incredibly gifted, and many chose to live in the First World, where those who would use them at least have the courtesy to keep them alive and intact.
This red-headed young woman is followed by a cheerful sprite, but she herself appears incredibly tired and frail.
Misc- CR2 CN Medium Humanoid HD3 Init:+1 Senses: Perception: +7 Aura: Fey Magic 30ft Stats- Str:8(-1) Dex:14(+2) Con:8(-1) Int:12(+1) Wis:14(+2) Cha:21(+5) BAB:+1 Space:5ft Reach:5ft Defense- HP: 10(3d6) AC:14(+2 Armor, +2 Dexterity) Fort:+0 Ref:+3 Will:+5 CMD:11 Offense- mwk Quarterstaff +1(1d6-1) CMB:+0 Speed:30ft Feats- Alertness, Familiar Bond (B), Improved Familair, Toughness Skills- Bluff +10, Knowledge (Local) +2, Knowledge (Nature) +2, Perception +7, Sense Motive +5, Spellcraft +5 Spells-  1 (DC16, 7/day)- Alarm, Color Spray, Disguise Self, Grease 0 (DC15)- Ghost Sound, Mage Hand, Mending, Message, Prestidigitation Special Qualities- Destined Bloodline, Familiar (Sprite), Fated +1, Feycharm, Magical Flesh, Touch of Destiny Ecology- Environment- Urban (Temperate) Languages- Common Organization- Solitary Treasure- Standard (mwk Quarterstaff, Leather Armor, Potion of Moment of Greatness, Potion of Cure Light Wounds) Special Abilities- Aura of Fey Magic (Su)- Fey creatures within a sleigh beggy’s aura of fey magic gain a +2 Morale bonus to skill checks and concentration checks and a +1 bonus to caster level of spells. Feycharm (Su)- The starting attitude of all Fey and creatures native to the First World towards a sleigh beggy is increased by two steps. Magical Flesh (Su)- A sleigh beggy’s body is imbued with fey power, making them detrimentally valuable. The flesh of a slain sleigh beggy can be used to replace 500gp worth of material per hit die of the sleigh beggy when crafting magical items, and a limb or major organ can be used to replace 100gp worth of materials.
Making a Sleigh Beggy
“Sleigh Beggy” is an inherited template that can be added to any humanoid (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A sleigh beggy gains the following abilities;
CR: Same as the base creature Feats: A sleigh beggy gains Familiar Bond as a bonus feat. A sleigh beggy with levels in a class that grants a familiar instead gains Improved Familiar as a bonus feat.  Additionally, a sleigh beggy who has levels in a casting class that does not grant a familiar gains the deliver touch spells, scry on familiar, share spells, speak with animals of its kind, or spell resistance special abilities for their familiar from Familiar Bond, and a sleigh beggy who wishes to take an improved familiar with the Fey type reduces the required level by 2.  Special Qualities: A sleigh beggy gains the aura of fey magic, feycharm, and magical flesh abilities, as above. Abilities: A sleigh beggy gains a -4 penalty to Constitution and a +4 bonus to Charisma.

The Ancient Magus' Bride S2 Episode 8: Slow and Sure II
Tumblr media
I love it when MahoYome focuses on the murky depths of magic and its world, so even if this episode doesn't hold much weight outside of that, I'm still rather satisfied with it. Of course, it's not entirely void of progression or development, just that it takes a back seat to the world.
I'll get the usual out of the way rather quickly. Terasawa and the team behind Season 2 are overly ambitious, like I've said a bunch of times. They choose cuts and approaches that they can't execute on all that well. It's a good sign to be so ambitious, and as their first full-fledged production, there's not a lot of room to fault them for it.
Speaking of Terasawa though, we still get a lot of their direction in overhead layouts and camera rotations and angles and the like, but alongside that we also get a lot of camera translations. Clearly though, the latter is used simply because of the pretty art done for some of the scenes. It's incredibly detailed and full of life, so they fit it in with some simple camera movement. (Thanks to compression and colors, the last gif doesn't look all that great, sorry)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, to the heart of the episode. It's really hard to capture with pictures or gifs, but I really love the otherworldliness of magic and fae in this series, so having it put on display throughout the whole episode is just a really great time. Feeling that anxiety, that discomfort, as you feel pins and needles all over your skin. It's a great reminder as to the power and terror of those closest to magic, and how much they differ from human understanding and experience.
Such a simple thing, you might say, but it really provides a unique and worthwhile twist to the limited nature of magic in the hands of humans, and a perfectly valid reason to both fear and covet it.
Arguably the biggest piece from the episode though was "Chise's" outburst. It's a really interesting piece that we've yet to see her exhibit, but when harboring the curse of a dragon within herself alongside a fragment of Joseph, you might be as confident to say it was bound to happen. And I love how they approach it. Embodying Chise's inner thoughts and fears, it shapes itself into something that's undeniably Chise, but equally so exists far far beyond her. Countless scales and tendrils that sport mouths and eyes similar to the Nuckelavee, and whisperings that are meant to pierce Chise's heart. It's a really great sequence showing the depths of Chise's danger to her self and those around her, and how much this Sleigh Beggy harbors within.
Tumblr media
Of course alongside that we also get pieces that expose the various histories of other characters, and the nature of things. Like the whole dynamic between Isaac and Rian and how they view each other as complimentary but distant halves, or the piece that begins to expose Rian's past and responsibilities. Or even things like Zoe being unable to subdue the Nuckelavee. There's a lot of rather small pieces that comprise the groundwork for further exploration and development. I wouldn't go as far as saying they're key pieces of the episode, but they're certainly ones worth paying attention to.
So at the end of the day, it's still a good episode, but I could easily see viewers that aren't in love with MahoYome's idea of magic not being overly receptive of it. It tries to do too much and pays the price for it, and caters to specific tastes and interests within its slower pacing. Definitely one of those, "if you like it you like it" episodes, so I'm hopeful to see more well rounded work done with what follows this camping trip next episode.

I had never heard of this before so thank you for the explanation! But based on what youve told me, I think this is a really cool headcanon that works so well with Billy! I love the idea that magic is so intergal to who he is as a person that even just breathing is an act of magic for him.
And it's such a cool concept that it still strains his body (especially since a lot of us already headcanon him as kind of small and fragile in his human form).
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this too!

The Ancient Magus' Bride
Tumblr media
Chise Hatori, a 15-year-old Japanese girl with unconventional behaviour, experienced abandonment and ridicule. She was auctioned off to a masked stranger for an astonishing £5 million. Seeking a place to call home, Chise had resigned herself to becoming anyone's possession. She was shackled and being taken to an unknown destination when she overheard cloaked men gossiping about the purchaser of an unusual Sleigh Beggy. Regardless, she followed her captor until they reached a library where Elias Ainsworth, a sorcerer, appeared to her. Although they had a brief confrontation and some mystical transportation, Chise found herself in Elias's idyllic English cottage, inhabited by peculiar beings and fairies. This marked the beginning of Chise's journey as she turned into the old mage's apprentice and potential partner.

Sleih beggey
Sleih beggey (Manx for Little people, also Beggys, Sleigh veggy, Sleigh beggey, and Ferrishyn from the English: faeries) is the umbrella term for Manx fairies.
A wide variety of individual mythical creatures come under the umbrella of sleih beggey. With both benevolent and malevolent fairies.
Tumblr media
Generally, the Sleih Beggey are seen as stocky in stature, and as domestic fairies, who lived in burghs. They are fond of hunting, music, and abducting humans. They dislike ashes, artificial light, salt, and baptisms. They commonly wore green clothes. Many were also known to steal babies, and in doing so getting into fights with humans.
John Rhys noted that Manx and Welsh fairies were similar in most aspects, but that Manx fairies had no issue using weapons to attack humans, unlike the Welsh fairies.
The Ferrish have been described as a particular tribe of fairies, standing between one and three foot tall, who rode horses and kept dogs for hunting, having no named king or queen. They were known to replace human babies with changelings, as with many other fairies in the British Isles and Ireland.

saiki prompt but non platonic ship related until the end(kaidou + aiura)
crossover idea/au i haven't seen
shun only talks about the jet black wings and all his 'abilties' so his others don't make it to the public eye: he's a sleigh beggy.
yessir the ancient magus bride but in saiki k? perfect.
most of the things shun sees are evil entities like the one chise saw in the graveyard, where if he answers a question and pretends to see it it'll take his soul, so he kinda acts like mieruko-chan and just ignores/doesnt react. he just can't find a single person who knows magic to teach him anything, and started using bandages to try and help with hits issues.
i love sleigh beggy kaidou but i have so much angst lined up before happy + who would be elias? kusuo would be big shocked by a rev of it so maybe aiura? unlikely duo ig

actually another reason the ancient magus bride is one of my fav shows and one of the few animes i actively watch isnt only bc it goes so deep into trauma and suicidality and healing and relationships and other shit, but bc so many of the stories and characters around it center around physical disability
chinse is on top of the extensive history of family trauma and suicidality and bullying and being considered schizophrenic and all the other shit, due to being a sleigh beggy physically fragile and weak, quick to exhaust, quick to faint, hard to heal, and generally physically a fragile mess until the end of season 1. joseph&carthapillus are two people in one body, one who took on the curse of his loved one hoping it would help, but ultimately they become an antagnoist driven into insanity by being immortal and yet prepetually physically rotting away forever, thousands of years of physical pain so extreme he forgets who he is, he forgets why he took the curse and who his love was, and is willing to do anything to get rid of it no matter how cruel or sadistic to others- and at the end of that season he (they) gets the one thing hes (they have) rly wanted, to finally be able to rest. the second mid-season 3ep special focuses on a young boy whose got pretty bad asthma and his frustrations w it and the struggle of having to move to a rural area for his sake, the struggle w his family and his own frustration at being limited in certain things, and frankly his suicidality and wish to escape even at that young age. and the first season too, paralleling joseph&carthaphilus, has that sorty of that married couple in which the wife is chronically ill, shes always been fragile and sickly and often bed bound, and her husband who loves her so much and is so desperate to see her better that he ends up letting himself be manipulated into doing god awful things in the hope that hell find a cure and be able to save her
like????? thats SO much physical disability representation in one damn show it blows my mind. and all those stories have such satisfying endings too
