Release day: I'm not going to make a Reverse 1999 self insert. I'm not. I won't do it.
One week later: I seriously won't do it. No OCs either. It's not like I have any ideas to work with.
One month later: What would I even theme myself as, a millennial zeitgeist? I'm mostly interested in modern aesthetics, but the whole point of the game is that time wasn't able to progress to the twenty first century. I can't think of any past historical eras I resonate with.
Now: Willowbrook State School was a state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities located in the Willowbrook neighborhood on Staten Island in New York City. The institution gained national infamy in 1972, when Geraldo Rivera did an exposé on the conditions there. Public outcry led to its closure in 1987, and to federal civil rights legislation protecting people with disabilities.
#I'm also considering the Capital Crawl on 1990 and that general era of disability rights activism#tho essentially that is the...same era. Just different aspects of it#tbh now i don't even care about supernatural designs & powers...just disability rights history#Have I mentioned I used to work in disability advocacy? And studied this stuff#anyway thanks Reverse 1999 for giving me an excuse to research again#Mad Pride & it's accompanying movement was also 1990s but less American#aka less good for self-insert#now I gotta think of designs....#reverse 1999#textpost
