Nutty

Finally decided to draw out the concept I did in November…. yeauh I took away Dylan’s wings they couldn’t stay unfortunately BUT Aurie became a unicorn so that’s all that matters !!

Was too lazy to figure out their cutiemarks (was lowkey thinking either Dylan was a blank-flank or he got his wayyy earlier than his peers did, either way this adds onto his arrogance)

I DID THEIR PONY NAMES TOO !! Daring Blaze & Fancy Hoof …Still not 100% on either though.

He can handle himself—he’s proved that time and time again, yet because of his loss of vision, he is unable to see and kill a walker before it reaches him. He calls himself useless because of it.

His feelings of inadequacy, his anger, and sadness are something I really related to, having lost the ability to walk and having to work in order to again.

It was so rough that even the idea of PT was something I hated because the thought of needing help from someone else for something as simple as standing made me sad and even disgusted with myself.

I like the way he points out how other people view him as well because it’s something so many people have to deal with on a constant basis.

He is aware of how it looks, how it’s not easy to look at—that is the reason he would cover it up in the first place. He is insecure about it, and I think a moment that really showcases this is when he cries after Negan taunts him about it.

This is just how I personally feel…but I think the way it is handled is nice. There could ALWAYS be improvement when dealing with a character with a disability, but I found his experience to be very relatable to my own.

It is good to remember that everyone and how they deal with it is different. There is no blueprint to how someone should act when it comes to their own disabilities—which is why the topic itself should always be handled with care.
