Some tempting options, right? I’m trying to stay strong and tell myself I don’t need any more plastic. 😣

Oh dang it’s pricey nevermind lol https://www.ornament-shop.com/2015-star-trek-the-needs-of-the-many-i1151630.html

It is fun looking at them all, though

So what if you could save five lives by harvesting the organs on one little old person?

I’ve always been partial to “pop” though “pops” is an ageist slur

You also get a lifetime to cringe that will pop up randomly while you’re doing the dishes, showering, falling asleep, or even just having a pleasant conversation with someone you love. But in all honestly it is worth it. Some chilling regrets, yes; but also some nice memories to warm you on those cold nights of the mind that come for us all.

Anything in roleplaying is possible, why not this stuff then?

Exactly, say it’s a curse, or magic in nature. Or maybe just One of Those Things that we don’t know how to change, but the character does their best, and kind people around that character support them and help them be as able as possible.

Then let people make characters without disabilities if they want (which is already the case). But what if someone wants to play a character, or see characters, that face similar challenges to the ones they do? And then get to play them overcoming those challenges!

This is not exactly equivalent, and I’m not asserting that you meant this, but imagine in a different time someone saying, “I don’t understand why anyone would want to play a non-white race, since it just opens them up to racism, when they could just fit in and be normal.” I consider that to be along the same class of argument as the one we’re discussing here.

why would a person want to fantasize about having a disability

To imagine a world where they are the same, but their disability is not an impediment. A more perfect world, rather than imagining themselves as other than they are.

Yeah but this is a game for characters who are played by people who exist in a world where that is not the case, so maybe a little sensitivity is called for.

It most certainly helps, thank you

Oh my god that’s perfect, thank you

Hey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe:

I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning).

I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.

Yeah I didn’t really understand hangovers until I slowed my drinking down to reasonable levels, and then to barely at all. Now it’s not so much a hangover, but I notice I’m not really 100% percent for a couple of days after some drinks.

Nice but feel like it’s missing a syllable

Is that Tony Todd? I feel like that’s Tony Todd

Later X-Files kind of felt like what Lost would later become. Engaging, yes, but kind of an amorphous mess.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to love a trek that kind of sucking in the early seasons >_>

Oh my god that is the perfect explanation of the (often unintentionally / incidentally) bigoted opinions I hear around.

They do fit well together, but they are very much not the same show. They are like two differently shaped puzzle pieces.

Closer to the end TNG did get more character development, though. I wonder how much of that is thanks to Babylon 5. I remember the end of TNG, beginning of DS9, and B5 all being very close together.

Beautiful. Well done
