@cy_cyborg: This is a trope that's more common in books and smaller indie projects in visual media, and is usually the result of just misunderstanding what they're likely looking at in their references. Regardless, it's a common misconception that I thought would be good to clear up in a video! #disability #Disabled #WritingAdvice #Authors #WritingDisability Video Description: The video has a PNG-tuber style character, Nix, sitting in front of a speedpaint video. Nix is a purple, anthropomorphic dragon and a double leg amputee. They are sitting in a wheelchair with no prosthetics and are looking towards the audience. At the end of the video, we see the image that was being drawn in the background. It is an illustrated artwork in a cell-shaded style of another character, Migli, of a purple anthropomorphic dragon woman. She is running towards the viewer, ready to attack, covered in blobs of starry markings and wearing a dark pink dress. She is missing her left arm and holding a staff that's slightly too big for her in her remaining arm. The staff is topped with a golden hook, and in the centre of the hook, dark clouds of magic emanate from a small star.

I’m blind and HELLA frustrated with how people portray blindness & monocularism in their characters and media. Blindness is a VAST spectrum and not every monocular person wears or even LIKES eye patches.

Hi, I'm currently writing a character who gets amputated later in the story when his arm is bitten off by a leopard Sea. however, after his injury (since he has ice powers) he freezes the wound instead of getting it bandaged (this is also set in the 1600's) how would this affect the stump? (if you know, of course)

I have a question so I have a OC and he's missing everything from the hips below would you be comfortable talking about some struggles or effects he would have (he's a starwars oc he's a clone and it happened in a explosion)

I'm sure it's because even if people are willing to draw an amputee they still feel "uncomfortable" with the actual amputated limb. come on guys, lock in! these stumps are reality for a lot of people and we should be normal about them

Oh... Than I might need help redesigning her... She's an undertale character who had her wings badly damadged when the monsters got trapped underground, and am not against a bit of help to make her more accurate TT and so, take of her bandages

ngl when I see a drawing of someone covering their disability with bandages my first thought is opend wound then my second is they are insecure with how the scar or whatever looks

hi! i have an oc who gets his leg cut off from the knee in a fight. does the skin just naturally heal around it or are there other measures done to stitch it up or something?

Some questions I have: 1 - does amputation affects your metabolism? like, do you need to eat more or less? 2 - one of my characters needs to use a wheelchair (6 months in story), what would be a functional wheelchair design while keeping the "fantasy world" aesthetic?

question after losing a limb isn't the area with/around the scar alot more sensitive and if so do you think maybe thats why people would draw with the bandage I get it still not practical but do you think that might be the reason artists cover the area with something

would a good excuse be that my oc just feels comfortable by the bandages? cause my excuse is that the pressure makes her feel comfortable with the loss of her leg
