hey, as a chronically ill person, i am not comfortable with submissions of characters who are doomed specifically because of their chronic illness. i and other chronically ill people are not doomed. we are not a tragedy. it is really really fucking unfortunate that we're treated like we are. if you are submitting a character specifically because they died because of their chronic illness, please don't actually. we are more than just the fact that we're going to die.

#this isn't actually in reference to the latest submissions of viktor arcane sorry bad timing on my part for this post ILASUDHSUIAH #i'm going through all the submissions that got entered since last night and there's a couple that are. hm.#'isn't it tragic that they got sick and died' nope. next question #i am hesitant on the viktor arcane submissions tho. don't get me wrong i fucking love him #but he kind of walks the line between 'chronically ill character that's doomed for unrelated reasons' and #'chronically ill character that's doomed because they're chronically ill'#for him specifically not sure what to do there. i'll think about it #but if you are putting him or other characters in specifically for their chronic illness. hey. shut the fuck up actually #doomed by the narrative showdown
