#but to me that reads as: i dont actually know any wheelchair users & am making this assumption based on....idk.. movies or smth

[ghostly-rantings]

also most ramps that ARE added arent even safe or built to regulation standards making them extremely inaccesible despite the fact that the Entire Point of adding a ramp is supposed to be accessibility

maybe it's pendantic but it annoys me when ppl say stuff like accessibility is more than just adding a ramp, bc like they are not even adding ramps bestie. like that's not being provided in 9/10 situations

ALRIGHT CLOSING UP FOR THE NIGHT: UPDATE (its long)

oh mizuki my darling my sweetie gravy i missed you so much hi mizuki hi mizuki missed youuuu

nothin on ryuki but man she's so fun to play as. it's alos just. nice that she and aiba act a lot friendlier to each other. dont get me wrong tama and ryuki's dyanmic is fun, and i know they really care about each other, but like. doing the crime scene investigation and aiba cheering mizuki on with her acting was really sweet. i loved it.

the mizuki boss daughter mother thing ramble starts here.: so i read all the profiles and glossary stuff pretty religiously, and i know that in Boss's glossary for her current profile, it says she adopted Mizuki. and if not for that it would be impossible to tell. come on gangggg that's so insanely interesting as a concept can anyone mention it like even vaguely in passing im BEGGING. i also nEED to know more on bosses First daughter, who i suspect is missing now? maybe she's related in some way to kizzy's first Big Sis?

but srsly its bugging me so bad, like that tracks w/ how casual mizuki is to her but !! it drives me insane there's a literal interaction in which boss says 'dont act like my daughter' and the take away is that mizuki SOMEHOW didnt know about bosses FIRST daughter bcs it NEVER came up?? im assuming boss just lied there and the daughter thing slipped out, (more points for boss daughter and kizzy sister same girl, both remind them of mizuki), so despite the fact that, i dont know, adopting a girl after already adopting one kind of feels like the sort of thing that would end up being mentioned somewhere in there, paticulartly considering that boss's daughter was still living with her as of one day before date died, like. she didnt come home that night and im assumin gshe never did, ran away or something??

i can't tell if the game is just setting breadcrumbs in a weird way or if they just decided boss should be a mom now and then never actually do anythin w/ it. AND SECONDLY, how is THAT the wtake away when 'dont act like my daughter' is a legitimately insane thing to say to the GIRL YOU ADOPTED. SHE LITERALLY IS YOUR DAUGHTER THAT IS HOW ADOPTION WORKS AM I LOSING MY MIND.

the mizuki boss mother daughter rant is now over. you are safe.

so putting that aside: hilarious they didn't model lien any differently. i like to think this is a repersentation of his inabilty to move on. im just. im choosing to believe that. i'm not a wheelchair user, so I can't speak to much on the whole arc kizuna's got going on here, i'm just kind of... carefully watching it. it could be... alright? but it could also drift into some territory i feel is kind of. stereotype-y?

haven't found shoma yet, on a note semi related to the mizuki boss thing. his house is identical to how it was 6 years ago down to whats been left on the floor and you're telling me he still lives there. does aitsf suddenly take place in a world where children over the age of 11 can just chill out on their own-- I SWEAR THIS MANS WIFE LEFT HIM. WHO IS WATCHING THIS CHILD. HELLO?? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?? being buddies with lien is not a legal guardian!!!!!

NOW. COMPLAINTS ASIDE> ima ctually having a lot of fun. inverted controls is a . im mixed on it on one hand it's a litttttle cheap making it physically harder instead of making more complex puzzles. on the other hand it fits so so well and its just the right level of challenge for me so i kinda love it.

but i love mizuki and aiba hanging out they're really really fun. i love what we're building with what im calling 'kanji madness ryuki'. lots of questions w/ the masked woman and the iron mask man. why does everyone hate date personally who knows.

current predictions/observations/questions: i suspect time travel. i really think time travel is involved or morphogentic fields or something i really do. this could be good or bad. idk. i could be totally wrong here, but. there's a lot more. explict stuff in teh other timelines i shouldn't know that i do. PATICULARLY WITH DAHLIA BOAT AND ALL. stupid name i love it. i wonder if its an anagram but im shit at those. its a little suspect how much mizuki route stuff i've seen actually, if we cant pull in timelines seperately.... w/ the first aitsf it wasnt rlly timelines as much as it was like 'getting date's memories back' i played zero escape im down for timeline hopping bull. lets do it!!. pelase i need mizuki roue continuation. very curious about what aiba was doing.

hopes for the future: the videos are really cool i want to do a somnium like that. pleaseee please let me do a somnium like that. i know im totally mizuki biased but. plelpelaspleaspleaseeee plEASE let me do her somnium proper you cannNOTT tease me with that mizuki route somnium with the stew and everything and the bird cage and horse GODDDD its so cool pLEASE let me play it im BEGGING. i. i want more mizuki date interactions. i want them to have another good emtional moment. like mizuki route. i dont know if u can tell i really like mizuki route. i dont know HOW we do that if we even can but. please. im begging. can we get a proper aiba and date interaction b4 the end as well. liek i know he's not the pov character anymore but after the way the last game ended you cannot just have them come back and only fight on screen thats absurd.

but yeah feelign good enjoying the game rn! im. a little worried about some stuff but in general... i hold hope.

“it costs SOOOO much money and dating a disabled person is SOOOOOOO much work” no its fucking not bitch we’re dating not married. you can date disabled person who is independent and has their own job and their own place. the idea we’re all completely dependent and only date people to get a caregiver we dont have to pay is a load of horseshit. you think you have to give baths and work a job to pay for someone whos deaf????? you think a wheelchair user who has their own place and insurance and hired caregiver wants you to treat them like a baby and take over that role??? no. not all disabled people are the same. saying “i wont date a disabled person bc theyre too much WORK and thats okay :)” isnt cute or funny you’re just a fucking bigot. if you meet an INDIVIDUAL disabled person you dont want to date based on their needs and your own abilities then dont. but do NOT act like perpetuating ableism is just a “preference” you get to say when your statement is not true and is just based on ignorance. 

you think that exists in a vacuum? no. disabled people will read it and think ‘well i guess i might as well not date im unlovable and might as well not try dating. me asking for help reaching stuff on the shelf makes me a burden. asking for someone to hold a door open makes me a burden.” the very idea we’re too much work and cost a bunch of money makes other people go “well im not rich i guess dating someone disabled is a rich thing :/ damn i guess theyre all gold diggers. i cant lift up someone so i might as well not date ANY disabled person” and also perpetuates the idea we all are exactly the same or we’re faking, that disabled people CANT hold a job and CANT do anything on our own or else we’re faking it and taking advantage of systems we dont deserve. bullshit.

and furthermore dating ANYONE is a lot of work. you think its just smooth sailing??? your partner asks you to stop by cvs and pick them up something better refuse bc u didnt sign up to help anyone!!!!!!!! bitch. 

keep your fucked up statements about how you will not date a SINGLE minority class because they are all the same to your fucking self. the only thing disabled people have in common is our oppression and the denied practice of accessing society. thats it. making blanket statements about all of us is ableist. when you do that it isnt about YOUR PREFERENCE its about bigotry.

i dont want to fucking date you. i want you to shut the fuck up about how you would never ever ever in a million years date someone like me. maybe instead of taking all about yourself you save that for private conversations one on one instead of screaming it endlessly online. bc i never asked to date you! you saying that to me isnt a decline of a romantic relationship and you know it isnt! its you telling me i subpar, a waste of space, a burden, and that my partner doesnt actually like being with me. because why would they? when all i am is a stupid crippled bitch in a wheelchair to you. because i will never be a good cook, or a good listener, or supportive, or fun to talk to, or share hobbies, or be really smart, or be thoughtful and helpful. those qualities about me dont matter to you, because you dont know me. you dont even know the hypothetical things i ‘need’ that would be too much for you. all you know is im disabled. and that is more than enough for you to judge me. just like the rest of society.
