Hey i have this cool new idea and its called “people with chronic illness shouldnt have to weed out all sugars glutens alcohol and non organic oxygen and lose 50 lbs and excercise 25 hours a day before theyre deemed deserving of help or have their pain taken seriously or are allowed to even just live their fucking lives and talk about their illness without snide comments from ableds who don’t exercise and would never give up their daily 15000 calorie frappe with enough caffine in it to kill a horse’
Let me be clear, this a call out for all abled people and that includes ableist af physicians who would rather make you jump through hoops for months than listen to what you have to say about your own goddamned pain
I REALLY hope y’all aren’t sleeping on this. Heavy Thoughts Studios is creating a dating sim game where you can date male/female/nonbinary versions of the characters, all of whom are their own interesting people, and the artists working with them are the same that worked on Dream Daddy! I’m so incredibly excited for this game and it’s in its very early stages yet, so get excited with me and check out their twitter!!
