Share petition · #SAVERICKYPOTTS - Erasure of representation in acting is unfair. · Change.org

So get this. In the musical ride the cyclone, the representation of physical disability in Ricky Potts character was already pretty horrible. Because he loses it as soon as he enters the afterlife even though it’s such a vital part of his character. And it’s literally just for the ease of making him “better” to choreograph with. To this day, there has only been one person who is disabled in real life that has played this character, and they were treated horribly, not at all accommodated, not even told the character was written to have a disability, to the point where they were physically ill on set. They were then fired for being too disabled. To this day, the theatre blocks any attempts to speak out about the incident and refuses to even admit that it happened. The actor has received absolutely no compensation. Well now the official writers of the show have consented to the disability being removed entirely. Erased. Gone. What little representation was there was garbage anyway, but when I tell you I wouldn’t hesitate to deck the people responsible for this. OH and by the way, anyone who does the show now has to use that version of the script

Please sign the petition, reblog if you’re comfortable doing so. This bullcrap needs to end.

It’s weird because I see the max hive mind in like a totally different way. Like I see it as super connected, and he can move each body like different finger on the same hand. Like not so much as multiple minds that are linked as one mind in a bunch of bodies—🦹🏻

Ooooh that's such a cool and trippy way of seeing it! I love that! It sounds so fun to explore too!

Which fantasy land would you love to visit?

Oh, that’s one of the questions from a comic I know nothing about lmao. I would have to say… the Riordanverse? Provided that I’m not your average mortal lol. Those books were my childhood! First hyperfixation right there. It would feel so good to know that I was a badass demigod, magician, or resident of Valhalla. All my childhood dreams come true!

And again, my mutual stumbles onto something I am autistic about! We’re not close but I will yap to you if you let me.

Dio Brando is such a world class hater it's insane. Kid hated his adoptive brother so much he decided to make it his whole family tree's problem. Haunted an entire gene pool for over a century just cause his punk brother got in the way of his inheritence. It took a temporal armageddon and a full world reboot just to scrub away the consequences of his fuckin around and he still shows up as a cowboy weredinosaur to ruin everyone's day. A master class in causing problems on purpose.
