#whumpsmith

finished commission for @whumpsmith !!! this is her OC, Alexei, who is part of a story she's writing over at @heroescore! thank you so much for commissioning me, Max. it was a pleasure drawing your boy!

want me to draw for you? $15 commissions are still open!

if you are against proship/profic, you will be blocked. even if you don't identify as an 'anti'. you are supporting fascism and that is not tolerated here.

ooof there's so many bangers in this one...i might just post the unfinished version as is. since The Cage focused on Logan as the whumpee, The Cage from Logan's POV was going to focus more on David in that role. there's already a part of him being forced to whimper like a dog for his food. :)

i'll share this snippet from that section:

14. Does your oc know other disabled people? What are their dynamics like?

yes, but i haven't fully developed this part since Logan comes after Season 0, and my focus has been entirely on that. 😆

my rough thoughts:

as a disabled MECHFIA boss (prosthetic arm, chronic pain due to his acid burns, cluster headaches, BPD, PTSD, autism, etc.), Logan tends to employ other disabled "outcasts" like himself. not because of DEI or anything, it's just easier to take advantage of them when they tend to be in disadvantaged positions.

i've always intended his underboss, Deborah, to have a mobility aid, like crutches. unsure why yet. i know i want them to fold into her motocycle-thingy so she can drive around looking badass.

i belieeeeve Vero will have Tourette's Syndrome.

the others i'm still deciding.

as far as dynamics go...yall know Logan is an asshole. he mocks people for anything if he wants to tear them down, and that includes their disabilities. but most people in Logan's circle have earned a "pass" when it comes to that -- he'll still be a dick towards them, but he doesn't use their disability to insult them.

👆🏻THIS ISN'T 👆🏻 because Logan has consciously decided "oh, i shouldn't weaponize this thing about someone they can't control and are already mocked for". it's because now that's His Person and he doesn't really want to hurt His Person. so, certain comments and insults are off the table for His People.

like, for example, if Vero's tics are annoying him (esp if he's overstimulated), he won't tell her to shut up anymore, he'll just say he has a headache and leaves the room. she's still aware that she's part of the reason for him leaving, but at least he just removes himself from the situation instead of expecting her to control something she can't.

and Logan will praise their disabilities if they're of use to him. he rarely finds Deborah's crutches to be a hinderance...probably because he made them, so he gets to fawn over the tech. he never bitches at her to speed up because he already isn't that fast of a walker due to his short legs. and if someone else tells her to hurry up or makes a big deal, hoooo boy, Logan will tear them a new one.

again, not because he's a Disabled Ally, but because Deborah is his person (and his FAVORITE person, btw) so don't you fucking DARE disrespect her, only HE can do that!

I forgot what I was gonna write the second I opened your ask box, brain too smooth after CPR training haha. But I had fun and learned a lot!

oh boy that sounds intense xD but yay! congrats on finishing that and i'm glad it was both fun and educational! knowing CPR is such a great skill to have. 🙏🏻 i was actually going to get CPR trained when in child care (since they pay for it), but they never went through with it.
