RULES!
1- NO. REAL. PEOPLE. We all appreciate our real disabled folks, but this is just for fictional characters, so no Celebs, YouTubers, speech givers etc.
2- Only physical disabilities. We have other competitions for neurodivergent characters, so I just wanted to focus on physical disabilities like blindness, hearing loss, speech impediments, chronic pain, amputation, etc.
3- Non-Human Disabilities are allowed. Can your character function like a human being, but their species has some extra features we don’t? That’s completely fine! A fairy without wings, a witch with a curse, an empath who can’t read your feelings, they’re all allowed!
4- They have to be canon. For neurodivergence and sexuality you can get away with head canons, but for a physical disability you kinda need it to be canon. The text does not have to treat it like a disability, like in Barbie: Fairytopia, but they need to be there.
5- You can Submit multiple characters. Submit all the characters you want, just submit each one once, don’t rig it, pls
Is the stuffed animal assok? Or someone else? I must know
well, some of you might have spotted this little friend in the comic-
and some of you might recognise him as Sweep! Sooty and Sweep are two puppets who had a tv show for a lot of years in the UK, and when I was two years old I was given a puppet toy very like this one
mine is... considerably more hugged looking :'D I love Sweep so much, he has given me so many good dreams and looked after me through many sad times and terrible illnesses, and it felt appropriate to pay him due respect by making him Hero's favourite toy as well.
