In honor of Disability Pride Month, OC Challenges has teamed up with @negative-speedforce-ocs to host a week-long event, from July 25th to the 31st, celebrating disabled OCs! Per Revan's brilliant idea, each prompt is based on the symbolism behind the colors and design of the Disability Pride Flag. I am honored to bring this challenge to life and hope you'll join us in celebrating, creating, and highlighting disabled original characters all week long!
RULES:
This challenge is for disabled ocs only… hence why it’s called the disability pride challenge.
Tag your posts with #odpc26 in order to have them reblogged. (please do not tag any non-challenge related edits with this)
Reblogs will be done through the last week of July (25th to the 31st) in accordance with the events happening.
DON’T steal edits. If you feel your edit or someone else’s has been stolen, report it to our submission box by following these guidelines.
If you want to make a crossover edit with somebody else’s oc, make sure the other person is okay with crossovers.
Feel free to send us any questions and keep in mind that all challenges are up for interpretation.
Be kind!!
Challenges under the cut!
DAY ONE (JULY 25th): GREEN: SENSORY DISABILITIES
Create something for an original character with a disability that affects their ability to process sensory information such as sight, hearing, taste, touch, and/or smell! (Rutgers)
DAY TWO (JULY 26th): BLUE: PSYCHIATRIC DISABILITIES
Create something for an original character with a disability that affects “mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual!" (The ADA)
DAY THREE (JULY 27th): WHITE: INVISIBLE AND UNDIAGNOSED DISABILITIES
Create something for an original character who has a disability that is not immediately visible or "obvious" to others (Invisible Disabilities Association) or who you have created/written with a disability but does not get diagnosed or outwardly named in their canon!
DAY FOUR (JULY 28th): GOLD: NEURODIVERGENCE
Create something for an original character "whose brains develop or work differently" (Cleveland Clinic) due to a "neurological or developmental condition" (Harvard Health Publishing)!
DAY FIVE (JULY 29th): RED: PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
Create something for an original character who has a disability which effects their "physical functioning, mobility, dexterity or stamina!" (United Spinal Association)
DAY SIX (JULY 30th): THE BLACK FIELD: JOY/RAGE
In a world that tries to treat people with disabilities as if they are lesser, joy is an act of rebellion and rage is a necessity. How does your OC find joy, express their anger, or turn either into an act of resistance?
DAY SEVEN (JULY 31st): PARALLEL LINES/DIAGONAL BAND: SOLIDARITY AND SLASHING THROUGH BARRIERS
Show your solidarity and pride by celebrating and highlighting others with disabilities! Make something using a disabled creators (authors, singers, artists, etc.) work as inspiration, show us canon disabled characters that your oc relates to, do a crossover between your disabled character and someone else's, or even make something for someone else's disabled character as a gift!
