any other bookmarker tags are there due to cross-collection bookmarks
if a fic includes a disability headcanon that cannot be proven with the original text, it will not be tagged
(for example, if a character displays characteristics of chronic fatigue to the point where they can be considered to have it canonically, it will be tagged. if they don't display them at all or to a large extent, it won't be.)
the usage of powers to see does not fully compensate for blindness, which is something that's addressed in most or all of the fics with that tag!
the inaccessibility tag is used for things like ADA violations

1. Nothing explicit or pornographic. (Or just with much sex in general, preferably.)

2. No dark ships, messy ships, incestuous or pedophilic ships, etc.

3. No rape or non-con (or dub-con).

4. Canon being bad at disability does not make said disability not canon. (Looking at you, Hannibal fans.)

5. For a disability to be considered canon-likely, it must be medically likely for it to occur with little exception. If a character fights battles and is severely injured frequently, they will have scars. If a character gets concussions regularly, it will have some degree of effect on their brain.

6. Tags like "Vague Neurodivergency" are based on canon confirmation of the character having a brain that's "not normal" in some way and presenting traits reflecting that.
