sasha_featherA narrative vid you love
Half the Man byisagel. Multifandom.
This is a vid done for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
kink_bingo, what used to be the "amputee fetishism" square (which has now been incorporated into body alteration/injury). I recommend reading the warnings and notes at isagel's journal.
I love this vid for many reasons but partly because it's a great disability narrative. At the beginning, there is fear, horror, villains with hooks, violence. Moving onto living with a lost limb, darkness, despair, pain and isolation. Then the turn, shown in the putting on or taking off of clothing and prosthetics: owning one's body, acceptance, even pride. And the variety of the prosthetics here is awesome (chainsaws!). Then onto images of awesome, of romantic success, of conquering one's enemies, of playing the piano and the guitar, of enjoying life. This vid makes me want to cheer.
