A tiktok reply to a comment that says, “an ambulatory wheelchair user? 😂😂😂”
The girl says, “I wasn’t gonna reply to this comment at first, but I decided I should make a video on it, because recently, I’ve gotten so many ableist comments about being an ambulatory wheelchair user, and I really wanted to address it. There are quite literally hundreds of reasons why someone could use a wheelchair. And actually, the majority of wheelchair users are not paralyzed. Over 60 % of wheelchair users are not paralyzed. They use it for some other disability. So just because you see someone who uses a wheelchair get up and walk for a few steps does not mean that they don’t need their wheelchair.
I use a wheelchair for like, ten different reasons. First of all, I have a condition called hypermobility spectrum disorder, which is very similar to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, for people who know about that, which basically means that all the connective tissue in my body is extremely stretchy and loose. This means that all of my joints are extremely hyper-mobile and they dislocate very easily. My hips sublux, or partially dislocate, almost every single time I try to take a step. It’s extremely painful, and it literally causes damage to my hip joints. My connective tissue disorder also caused me to develop a condition called POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This makes me pass out basically any time I stand up for more than, like, 20 seconds. So it’s not really safe, because I’ve gotten concussions from it before from passing out and hitting my head.
POTS and hyper-mobility spectrum disorder also come with extreme fatigue, and I don’t mean being tired, I mean fatigue. My muscles physically get exhausted much easier than other people’s. And, to top it off, I have a neurological condition called functional neurological disorder. Basically, it makes my legs go numb, it causes me to have extreme muscle weakness in my calves and thighs, and some days I can’t really move them that well.
Disabled people and ambulatory wheelchair users do not owe you an explanation, and you need to understand that. I am sharing this because I feel comfortable with it and because I want to, I want to educate this person. But you have to understand that not every person is like that, and quite frankly, it’s none of your business. Thank you.”

There it is. The blind trust thing hitting me hard again.
Compared to the other partnerships this duo is so lighthearted and fun I almost never think much about it. Almost.
Mitsuya knew that the chances of the Haitanis pulling some sort of trick was not nil, tried to stop Hakkai from following them and could've asked for help before walking right into danger himself but instead just went with the flow. Mitsuya acts responsible for fixing Hakkai's mess, one reason being that he's older and has known his for long enough to have those kinds of feelings towards him. He rushed to Hakkai knowing that he'd be in a pinch, made sure he was okay, let him rest while he fought and Mitsuya just is that kind but it doesn't go unnoticed that he has a soft spot for Hakkai wether is be looking after him or letting him off the hook for those silly comments.
But he has never thought of Hakkai as someone who needs saving. He believes in Hakkai's strength.
Mitsuya Knows that them together are unbeatable and takes pride in their partnership. There's a blind trust of "I can always count on him" from Mitsuya's side and a "As long as Taka-chan's by my side I'm fine!" from Hakkai.
They're the ultimate "with your support I can win any fight", and I can't get enough if it.
another hc: luna and mana always give makeovers to nahoya and souta whenever they comeover. and i mean ALWAYS. they will braid their hair, try to brush it, straighten it and one time even managed to force a wig upon their head. souya doesnt mind it but nahoya literally vibrates in his seat because he hates it when someone messes up his hair.
mitsuya obviously has fun with this. he will deliberately place certain objects on low surfaces so luna and mana can easily find them.
they use their mother's makeup set to put lipstick on their lips, orange and blue eyeshadows, fake lashes (nahoya is scared shitless of those things) and blush and whatever else!
luna gets nahoya because she can talk back to him.
"next up: eyelash curler!"
"oi, you're not putting that anywhere on my face!"
"it won't hurt, you big baby."
"im not a baby!"
"prove it ,then."
mana and souya are literally the cutest. they work together to bring glam to souya's face. souya suggests some colors and mana tries to find it and when she cant, souya gently guides her toward it. they will laugh and giggle and have the most fun while their siblings on the other side are struggling to put on a bit of powder (it gets all over nahoya's face).
i have found another relationship to appreciate
these two big bros
i love love love to imagine how these two started to interact cuz theyre the older brothers in their family and toman. draken, chifuyu, baji, and kazutora all have the "only child syndrome", mikey is the middle child mess, we dont know anything about mucho's life and i think practically everyone ignores him and sanzu. so among the mess they found themselves in, these two created a tight bond no one ever expected.
their contrasting nature works: mitsuya with his polite way of talking, respects everyone unless they give him a reason not to, and generally is a friendly nice guy while smiley has a rough way with his language, disregards anyone who is not worth his time and once you peel back the layers is just as amiable as his twin. yet they share that responsibility of being the big brother, of taking care of their younger sibling/s. they get each other.
i imagine the day the kawata twins were introduced, nahoya and mitsuya locked eyes and nodded cuz they have that "older sibling" vibe to them that only the other one gets. they just went "i feel u, bro" and left mikey and draken to wonder wtf is going on.
they can also telepathically communicate!!! whenever one of them is having a rough time, the other acknowledges it and tries to destress them. nahoya catches mitsuya struggling to be strong and offers him a handkerchief, tells him its okay to cry it out. one day, mitsuya happens to stumble upon one of the kawata twins arguments and gently intervenes, explaining to souya that his brother just wants him to be safe and telling nahoya that he doesnt have to raise his voice and could also explain things in a soft voice because souya is not a three year old anymore.
i also would like to imagine these two eat together and just talk about the hilarious stuff their siblings have done or advice each other on how to get them to sleep quicker or what to give them for their birthdays.
"luna tricked mana into letting her cut her hair yesterday."
"seriously? man, shes got -"
"nahoya."
"confidence. shes got the confidence that every girl should have."
mitsuya sighs. "gods know what mom wouldve done to me if she saw half of mana's hair gone."
they just get along with each other and its a mystery to others. their bond became so close that they swore to take care of each others siblings in case something happens to them.
naturally, them being close also meant souya and luna and mana see each other very often. they get together every once in a while and although souya is older than luna and mana, the three of them are a pact and already have inside jokes. oh and hakkai's there too.
