You can't refuse to interact with a character and then call them underdeveloped or overpowered because you can't put in the work to know their flaws and weaknesses.

Especially not if said character is wearing protections because they have an extensive backstory of throwing themself into danger to save the world.

Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

edit: apparently tum "queerest place on the internet" blr hates disabled people so much that this post got automatically filtered. cool!

second way more important edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?

Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.

I don't really care to engage with idiot keyboard activists, but as a whole we did not cheer on the Taliban while simultaneously condemning the disproportionate shit done to the Afghani and Iraqi people in the name of avenging 9/11 or finding fake weapons of mass destruction. The people who did were mocked or shut down and it has nothing to do with 'murica pride because there was nothing to be proud of for what was done in response to our national grieving.

I don't understand why in this day in age we should hold support for Hamas and Hezbollah for murdering unsuspecting, unarmed civilians at a concert venue and keeping the citizens they claim to protect under the boot just like the Taliban. We can debate the corruption and horror of war in the IDF and the Israeli governemnt all day, but that wasn't what was on your mind when October 7th happened because retaliation hadn't even happened yet, it was cheering on the death to the infidel westerner, colonizer or whatever leftist buzzword you want to use to make killing unarmed people okay, to make explicitly killing Jews okay and many of you don't even hide behind that especially a year onward.

I don't how much more specific I can get when I say supporting terroists mean leftists lost the plot here.

"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

small scenery practices

I blend my colors on the canvas itself so I hope ya'll don't find the palettes there too distracting

"wdym you're a man, you were born a girl and youll always be one" = general transphobia directed at a trans guy

"why would you want to be a man, all men are horrible" "clearly you only want to be a man so you arent oppressed anymore" "gender traitor" = transandrophobia

The TARDIS was like yeah this hyperactive bitch needs space for the zoomies. AND SHE WAS RIGHT!!!!

in this house we love the artists and engineers and actors who worked on arcane so much that we will not share the leaks

remember that the people who really suffer from leaks are regular people like you and me who worked hard for weeks, months, and years to make this show a reality
