this is such a bad post i’m yelling
this is so ugly tf
I read this as “i cant understand the difference between people calling for more representation in the movie industry as a whole and people saying that everything needs to be represented in every piece of media in existence”
i read it more as an ugly ass jab at minorities who are fucking starving for representation. people who grew up seeing able bodied, neurotypical pretty white people represented as the most “desirable” and “the norm”. and why can’t “everything” be represtented in every piece of media? what’s wrong with that? think about exactly what the fuck ur trying to say before you come off as ignorant lol.
“Why the fuck SHOULD you exist?!? No one wants you!!! LOL!!!”

The rain patters against the solar panels covering the roof, two stories up. Feeling nostalgic for a moment, I look up. I don’t look down. Putting solar panels on a skyscraper, what a farce. Too little, too late. A raindrop seeps past the waterproofing on my cyber-eye, and I lean a shoulder against the wall to steady myself, lest I fall off the outcropping my toes are currently tensed around. I’m still a little unsteady, unused to the weight gain after my last bender. Some nights, all I can do is eat. And cry. The explosion plays always in my mind. When I lost my arms and eyes. When I lost Mohammad and Amara. I’ve managed to scrounge up enough to replace an eye, and with this, I’ll have an arm, albeit a basic model.
I look through the window. There she is, the next link in the chain. I wiggle my pinky toes to see that the blades still work. Then I click my teeth and tell the computer to open the window. I leap. Soon, I will be one step closer to the answer.
Came out super cyberpunky and grimdark, and I didn’t manage to fit all the things into just those paragraphs, but I still say it kind of works.
