I will say Dr. Brunner does do Dr. Mr. Oh, goodness.

Mr. Brunner.

Dr. Kairon,ular Neust Olympian. I'm a 29-year-old man

who never read the Percy Jackson series as a kid, but I read the first book as an adult, and I'm going to keep going to see if this is a book series that we've all been sleeping on. On this very special episode, we're going to do a little bit of learning about some things that we saw in the first book. I'm not on this quest alone, and I am joined by a wonderful guest today,

Fay Onyx, a disability consultant. about some things that we saw in the first book. I'm not on this quest alone, and I am joined by a

wonderful guest today, Fay Onyx, a disability consultant and accessibility advocate, podcaster, writer,

artist, and game designer. Faye, how is it going? Well, I'm doing great and I'm really excited to

be here. I am excited to have you. You had reached out earlier about being a disability correspondent of sorts, and here we are, months later, making it happen.

Yeah, well, I'm really excited to talk about this in particular because one of my areas of specialty is disability representation in speculative fiction storytelling. So I have a lot to say more than

there's actually time. But I'm sure we'll get through a lot of good stuff. Yes, I think we should

get right to the good stuff so that we have as much time to talk about it as possible, just to give

people a sense of where you're coming from and your expertise here. Do you want

to talk a little bit about yourself and why I'm talking to you in particular today?

Yeah, absolutely. So I guess for me, kind of all started with my podcast and I basically, I'm disabled

and I basically wanted to expand authentic disability representations. So I started

using tabletop role-playing games with disabled participants to kind of create new stories

with authentic representations of disability. And I kind of realized that there weren't a lot of

resources out there for a lot of topics. And I just kind of started that there weren't a lot of resources out there for a lot of topics.

And I just kind of started writing articles and got to the point where I have a lot of thoughts and ideas about things that I don't actually see other people talking about, like how disability gets represented when you start bringing in speculative fiction

elements, like magic and superpowers and how that mixes in. So I just started writing articles on it,

and I haven't stopped. Nice. Well, that's fantastic. I think you bring up a great point that

it does get tricky when magic and magical elements get into the mix. So I'm glad that you are going to be able to talk about that today.
