I'm feeling kinda guilty... I love your blog, I'm glad I'm searching for information and I care about good representation (of any kind of minority). But, at the same time, I absolutely love The Phantom of the Opera. I'm in love with this story, I love Erik, and actually he was the character that opened my eyes about people with facial differences when I was a litte kid. And I want to make an adaptation of POTO myself. And to make it, obviously, Erik is a tragic, traumatized person with violent tendencies and that wears a mask, and because of his trauma, he hates his own body... I want to give him a happy ending, a chance to heal, and genuine sympathy for his mental state rather than a lot of versions (and even the fandom itself) does. Is there any non offensive way of depicting this? Because, although Leroux intented Erik to be a sympathetic "villain/anti-villain", the story is outdated (1910!) and a lot of Erik's "villainy" is pretty forced. Help me pleeeease😭

Hey,

so, in discussions of disfiguremisia and offensive media portrayals of facial differences, Phantom is like the gold standard when it comes to comparisons.

"How bad was it?" "Phantom-of-The-Opera-bad." "Oh OK."

It's kinda what you just mention when you want to say that something sucks, since Phantom has basically no redeemable features when it comes to depicting disabled people. It's the OG disfiguremisia in media since it's both old and really popular.

I don't really think Phantom is fixable. Don't get me wrong, there are some versions of it that I have genuinely liked, but ultimately, it's a flawed story from the concept. You can make it better, but I don't think you can make it good.

So, how to make it better;

give him an actual, specified facial difference and research how it works,

make him explicitly a human being,

get rid of that stupid ass mask,

get rid of that stupid ass scary disability reveal,

tone down on the freakshow backstory,

IDK you can maybe make him live in the Opera because he's phrogging/squatting it because he's experiencing ableism when it comes to employment and is therefore homeless if you want to keep that part since it's kinda important,

at least imply that he has known other people before who weren't comically evil towards him for being visibly disabled,

don't make him a murderer,

like, make him less evil. I don't know.

I don't see any other way of making Phantom better rather than fundamentally changing major parts of it. It's fundamentally ableist, what can you do.

You need to be aware that you're an outsider (I presume so, at least, apologies if I'm wrong) trying to fix a story that is based on being disfiguremisic. Would you be comfortable trying to "save" a story that was biased against a different minority? Because it's not really a matter of "finally fixing POTO", it's extremely popular*. It's something you're doing for yourself, and, presumably, for people with facial differences. You need to be aware of what you're getting into and if you're actually willing to do that. If you aren't then that's fine, there's 1000 adaptations out there already.

*- that is to say, one more less ableist or more ableist retelling changes nothing in terms of the Phantom's impact, that much has been done. You can just adapt it.

Followers with facial differences are welcome to give their suggestions.

Hi! i had a question about Heval; when they are first introduced, they're described as being taller than X but in the illustration we see in the royal codex Heval seems to be the shortest out of the three. Is it a writing error or did i just read that part wrong?

Anon, I'm saying this with all sincerity: I think you're completely confused about who Heval is 😭

I was thinking about your post about the "Batman doesn't tell the JL about his family because he's paranoid" trope but with the Green Lanterns instead, and I just thought about combining it with "Batman hates GLs" trope. Imagine the batfam hearing complaints about Green Lantern and then meeting Hal/John and thinking wow, tf? These are nice, cool guys. And then they meet Guy, who had been the JL's contact for the longest time, and instantly realize the source of all the complaints

This isn't even a question. It's just some anon rambling about how they wanna take my Green Lantern focused post and make it all about the Bats' point of view and how Guy Gardner sucks so much he tanks the reputation of all the other Lanterns.

I dislike the "Batman hates GLs" trope because it's so rarely about how different the Bats and Lanterns are on a philosophical level. Mostly it's just Batstans using the GLs as punching bags. Because everything has to be about the Gotham vigilantes and how they're soooo much better than any other hero.

And I'm

so.

fucking.

tired.

I'm tired of scrounging for crumbs of Green Lantern content while Batfamily fans get to feast like billionaires, then try to take what little we have and make it theirs too.

Maybe that's not how you intended it, anon. But it sure feels like it.

Trying to figure out how I wanna draw the Contestant outfit from Finding Frankie, minus the mask because it's chunky and hard to draw, my current ideas are;

Flat patterned jumper with a bunny eared hood, no tie shoes, fingerless gloves, (face mask optional)

Onsee with a black body suit underneath, tiny red lace ribbon, no shoes, bunny ear headband (tiny top hat part optional)

T-Shirt with a bow stuck to it, black arm warmers and thigh high socks, red shorts (like Real Frankie), Sneakers, lucky rabbit's foot keychain, top hat (rabbit ears in brim optional)

I dunno I wanted the outfit to be cute.

Bonus my first attempt at drawing the mask before immediately abandoning it

[cripplecharacters]

would it be acceptable to have a masked superhero with a FD?

Hey, it'd depend on context.

Character with a facial difference puts on a mask as part of their superhero costume in a superhero story where abled characters also to do that because it's a superhero thing older than time itself = completely fine and actually cool to see. More heroes with facial differences please.

Suspiciously singular character with a facial difference is suspiciously the only superhero who wears a mask = suspicious. In a context where the story has a single superhero as a concept and there simply aren't more of them, focus on the existence of other characters with facial differences who don't wear any sort of mask + let the superhero with FD take the mask off in civilian mode just like abled superheroes would.

Only character with FD wears a mask at all times because [insert literally whatever excuse, I've heard of all of them and they're all bad] = just don't do this.

That's basically the rule of thumb for this trope in my opinion, if you have a question with more details/context for the character feel free to send another ask and/or look through the mask trope tag we have.
