Yo dudes, my names Elicia, Pizza Enthusiast and I live in Minneapolis, MN, and i'm 22 years old. I kinda am in love with Michael Clifford. I love Teen Wolf, 1D, 5sos, and about a million other things. My blog is a mess but hey you followed me anyway so...
I also run a one direction blog:

ask every single game dev if they will include a character in a wheelchair in their game, and not just one in a hospital. no more wheelchairs as horror props. the worst thing that can happen is being told no. please help me advocate for more representation in video games.
it took me a very long time to be alright with the idea of using a wheelchair because everywhere i looked, wheelchairs were objects of shame. i stayed inside and went nowhere instead of even considering the usage of a wheelchair. i know many are like me. i play a lot of video games because of my health, and many other disabled and chronically ill people do also. we are always playing games. please help us see ourselves, and help encourage those who still feel shame. please help us show others that we exist. wheelchairs are tools of freedom, and they changed my life for the better. everyone deserves to see themselves in games, and it is about time wheelchair users got to.
The Surge, while frustrating to play, had the main character be wheelchair bound near the beginning before being given a full body prosthetic to move normally.
i want wheelchairs normalized, not messages that they should be gotten rid of
all i remember was seeing bently in sly cooper in a wheelchair in the third game AND FULLY PLAYABLE AND MOBILE WITH FUCKIN SICKASS ROCKETS AND SHIT and it made my aunts day bc she didnt ever think she’d get a character like her in a video game
AND ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO MAKE A CHARACTER IN A GAME IN A WHEELCHAIR
sly cooper is a STEALTH PLATFORMER GAME and if the turtle with a chair can be a master thief strategist other gaming companies need to get good and step up their game

wheelchairs in games! wheelchairs in games! wheelchairs in games!
you know when youre watching a tv show and you feel like youre coming to a part that youve seen gifs of on tumblr and it gives you a rush of excitement like oh boy this is what we trained for
when i was 8 i drew this comic about two girls kissing and my mom was out raged and i thought it was because my art wasn’t good enough so i kept trying to draw girls kissing and she sent me to therapy and my therapist tried explaining homosexuality to me and i didn’t even know what that had to do with my art skills
if i ever met satan the first thing i would say is “did it hurt…when you fell from heaven??” It would be hilarious. The next thing I would do is probably burst into flame and get impaled dozens of times but it would still be hilarious
