Gang I love all my followers and those who interact w my art but pls stop asking me if ur character is a good representation of disability. I love ur work I love to see ur disabled characters that's different.
Specifically being like "im writing a book and this character has xyz and I have ideas about it and I was wondering if you would tell me about-" I had to do the research too, a lot of it, and you're genuinely asking me to do the research for you, to work out how your character could be a better embodiment of disability for your story.
Showing me ur art like "is this right?" Sure!! Absolutely! Because it takes me a few seconds to glance and know if a prosthetic or wheelchair is drawn correctly.
Equally tell me all about ur character so I can gush too, I loveeee an infodump about ur OCs.
But .... I'm not going to analyse ur story to work out if you did a good job. Pay me to be ur sensitivity reader sure. But I'm not doing it for free, thats like years of research I've done to start to call myself specialised in understanding crip representation and the effects it might have and how it should be done and why it should be done like that.
No hard feelings to anyone who has before because it's never been something I've said up until this point, and I did a lot of posts about it.
