Love, Laugh, Live by the sword

You may know me for my Warning Signs project. If you are interested in more, I have stickers and holo prints available!

You may also know me for ULTRAKILL fanart.

Neither of these are my main thing, however.

I am a YouTube animator and the proud creator of an OC comic!

This is ⚔️Broken Crown, I have been working on it the last 4-ish years and will probably be working on it a few years still. If a medieval fantasy story about disability, healing, and revenge sounds up your alley, I'd always appreciate checking it out.

You might often see me tag posts as these OCs: Henry, Vi, Fortuna, William

4. Does your setting or lore have a disability that doesn't exist in the real world, but would be classified as disabling in the story? Tell us about it!

The only uniquely Broken Crown disabilities I can think of are 1. the injuries and stigma related to soul sword damage, or 2. botched healing magic 1. Any kind of damage to one's soul sword leads to an equivalent injury appearing on the owner of it. Major damage pretty much always results in death, but some can survive with injuries. Having a damaged or broken soul sword also has spiritual implications that I won't get into but it does make general society treat you differently if it's discovered. You're seen as a bit of a dead man walking. Primary example: Shiloh

(art by my beautiful gf) Shiloh's soul sword was damaged in a home invasion. They have a matching scar from it and a whole lot of feelings.

2. Because healing magic works as a way of speeding up the body's natural processes instead of fully wiping away any wounds, certain conditions are actually made worse by using healing magic. Misuses of this magic include: Making infections spread faster, healing wounds at the skin level but accidentally leaving internal bleeding, healing foreign objects inside of the body (such as a forgotten arrowhead), or setting broken bones bones back in the wrong positioning. Primary example: Aaron

17. Share about some event, routine or treatment that's central to your oc and their condition!

I'm boutta ramble so bad sorry

I'm more going to focus on the routine or treatment part of this question as I'm not sure how event related to the rest of it!

Henry & Vi are both pretty terrible at taking care of their physical disabilities as part of their routines, but in fairness, I don't think anyone taught them how to care for scars (and even if Vi knew, he'd be too upset someone was able to figure out he's disabled at all to take any advice). I think Henry eventually realized he can't let his scar get too much sun exposure, but it was probably a hard-earned lesson.

With the way Vi lives, I would not be surprised if he is intentionally agitating his pain issues as a destructive form of feeling in control and present in his body. His main treatment is a drinking problem. In an ideal world, the treatment that would most benefit him is a modern understanding of trauma disorders, maybe some medication, and very talented counselor. (but that could apply to a great many of my OCs)
