cy-cyborg:

What able bodied authors think I, an amputee and a wheelchair user, would want in a scifi setting:

• Tech that can regenerate my old meat legs.
• Robot legs that work just like meat legs and are functionally just meat legs but robot
• Literally anything that would mean I don’t have to use a wheelchair.
• If I do need to use a wheelchair, make it fly or able to “walk me” upstairs

What I actually want:

• Prosthetic covers that can change colour because I’m too indecisive to pick one colour/pattern for the next 5+ years.
• A leg that I can turn off (seriously, my above knee prosthetic has no off switch… just… why?)
• A leg that won’t have to get refitted every time I gain or loose weight.
• A wheelchair that I can teleport to me and legs I can teleport away when I’m too tierd to keep walking. And vice versa.
• In that same vein, legs I can teleport on instead of having to fiddle around with the sockets for half an hour.
• Prosthetic feet that don’t require me to wear shoes. F*ck shoes.
• Actually accessible architecture, which means when I do want to use my wheelchair, it’s not an issue.
• Prosthetic legs with dragon-claw feet instead of boring human feet or just digigrade prosthetics that are just as functional as normal human-shaped ones.
• A manual wheelchair with the option to lift my seat up like those scissor-lift things so I’m not eye-level with everyone’s butt on public transport/so I can reach the top shelf by myself.
• A prosthetic foot that lights up when it hits the ground like those children’s shoes.

Okay I need to have a quick word with the fandom here, guys.

So, ‘dear boy’ does not mean what some of you think it means. Not from a guy who’s LARPing as an older English dude, anyway. It’s kind of just a phrase men use for each other, not exclusive to loved ones or even people you actually know. It’s also not necessarily a nice saying - quite often it’s a veiled way of saying ‘you absolute pillock’. Picture it being said in the most passive-aggressive tone humanly possible for the full effect.

Point is, Aziraphale probably says it a lot. There’s no point getting hung up on who he says it to, because the way he’s using it is not actually an endearment. Not like the way he says Crowley’s name, which I could probably write an essay about.

NOW we’re all on the same page.

Select additional commentary: 

@geeoharee reply: oh yeah it’s fun as a neutral phrase, but it’s FUN when it means ‘you are an ant who I am currently deigning not to crush’

‘Dear boy’ is far more of a statement about who Aziraphale is than who he’s addressing. It’s part of his vibe, it goes with the waistcoat and the manicure.

@perfectlyineffable​ tags:  #yes. there’s a difference between ‘dear boy’ and ‘my dear’. one is patronising to neutral. one is neutral to an endearment.  #'dearest’ is straight up an endearment though. love seeing that in fics […] #in my head 'dear boy’ is closely related to 'old sport’. they’re not *quite* the same but the vibes are similar

There’s a “my dear fellow” from Aziraphale to Crowley in Ep3 S1 and nobody ever comments on it.
