What are your disabled ghoul hcs?

OH BOY SO some of this is just projection because I like to project onto characters I like but my most fleshed out headcanon is for Dewdrop

My headcanon for Dew is the transition from water to fire was extremely rough in his body and it didn’t fully work. While yes he is now a fire ghoul, his body can’t handle the fire magic coursing through him and slowly it is basically burning him away, weakening his organs and muscles bit by bit. It’s gotten to the point he can’t stand or walk for long periods of time. It’s also weakened his hands and arms giving him carpel tunnel like symptoms hence why he wears the compression sleeves.

I also headcanon Rain using a cane due to his body not being made for life on land. It was made to be underwater so the gravity on his already flexible joints causes a lot of pain as well as for his legs to randomly give out (he has very thin and delicate bones like a fish and his tail is mostly cartilage, so his bones break very easily) he’s also pigeon toed (I’m so sorry if this is an outdated term it’s the term I’ve always heard for my own condition) which causes him to trip often so the cane offers extra stability when walking.

Phantom has hEDS, and has a similar issue to rain, the quint area of hell has much lower gravity than anywhere else or earth so the gravity on his joints causes chronic pain but it also causes him to be unstable while walking due to not being used being in such a heavy gravity area, so he uses forearm crutches for extra stability and to releive the pressure on his hips which are prone to popping out of place.

Zephyr is mostly blind so he had a seeing eye hellhound summoned specifically for him! He also has braille stickers on the keys of his keyboard so even in the low light of a concert he’s able to play just as well! He also has scoliosis which causes back pain when standing or walking for too long hence why he had a chair!

Like I said, a lot of this is projection and I plan on hitting more ghouls with my disability beam soon but it is 4:30 am but I will update this as I have more headcanons !!!
