A Mimir

IN ALL TIMELINES, IN ALL POSSIBILITIES... ONLY YOU

I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell.

some last fleeting thoughts on an independent zaun

(original quote from asoiaf)

I'm sick to death of this shit. How many times do I have to go and BEG people with "dance aus" and "sports aus" and now "ice skating aus" to FIT THE NEEDS OF VIKTOR.

How many times am I going to have to ask people to portray Viktor as he is? How many times am I going to have to ask people to please stop making him look "aesthetic" just to fit an aesthetic AU?

Like the removal of his mobility aids to completely lessen his disability is one fucking thing. And it's another to decide that they're not "cool enough" or "pretty enough" to fit the vibes of some AU. That's just furthering the idea that disabled bodies are just not meant to be seen as they are. That they're something that has to be fixed to be seen in an art or a sport.

Saying "it's an AU" does not fix that this mindset is furthering the damage to a large demographic of people. Because this is not just any one singular AU--this is a whole fandom of AUs like these. The Viktor tag is filled with people changing him--not to fit headcanons of disabilities similar in needs and support, but to fit him into some form of "fixed enough" (or just plain "fixed") so that he makes an AU "interesting."

I'm begging people to start considering Viktor first before any AU. Viktor is the priority, not your AU. If your AU cannot handle Viktor as he is, then your AU should not exist as it is.

Please.

You wrote me a note, cast a spell on my heart

And bewitched me

pirate timebomb but make it extra soft

Memory of a memory
