Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Not just girl who makes clouds.

Girl who was literally worshipped as a goddess in her native land for making clouds.

I'm just going to assume the hidden bit is the deaf because we're famously perfect

And here we see X-Men perfectly illustrating the disparity between the larger disability community (Storm) and the chronic illness community (Rogue). One wants society to accept & respect them & their various different needs, which is surely a noble cause, while the other would like to NOT BE IN PAIN EVERY FUCKING DAY, which is just as important but often gets shouted down by non-ill disabled people who only want to talk about disability as a social construct.

Exactly haha

I mean, she wasn't worshipped for making clouds, she was worshipped for having literal godlike control over the weather at any scale from room-sized to planetary.

Meanwhile Rogue has to deal with not only killing everything she touches (for long enough; she mostly just renders them unconscious), but also (temporarily, in most cases) absorbing their memories and personality, to the point that if it weren't for Xavier she wouldn't even know which memories and personality are her own.

I mean, sure, it's a metaphor for the civil rights movement and all that, but you can only stretch the metaphor so far.

Even Xavier didn't hesitate to send Logan to murder the kid who had the misfortune of having just got the power to instantly, automatically, and unwillingly kill anything in a several kilometre radius.

Certainly would've been nice to have a cure in that case, or Rogue's, or so many other mutants' who weren't born lucky enough to be X-Men material.

Girl worshipped as a goddess and probably the single strongest person on the planet.
