Fanwork OC's, among other things

did you know that im working on a comic? for my ocs? these ones arent related to project welkin, but Ill get into project welkin a bit on this blog. You also might hear project welkin refferred to as Diapause, the names are interchangable but I believe that Diapause will be the final name for it.

Anyways! OCS. I have this one concept I've been thinking about a lot, that explores the infantalization that many disabled people face in regular interactions. While my personal experience with disability has been primarly regarding lack of accomodations/alientation, I have dealt with many moments of uncomfortable infantilization at times. I wanted to make a character that explores that dynamic, turned up to 10. This is mostly just a personal project that I've been writing to vent about my experiences as a disabled person, and to practice writing multifaceted characters (shout out to my character conflict and performance class).

Ta da! This is him. I've decided that he's from beforus and he's a culled mutant troll. Rosy is a beforian culled troll who has, for most of her life been brainwashed into thinking that she’s not capable enough. She wants to prove people wrong but also has some deep rooted fears that everyone is secretly right. She’s a very sheltered, but stubborn troll and often depends on her culler out of fear. The series will primarily be about her learning how to be more independent, and that not all help is bad help, it's all about finding the balance between independence and accomodating one's self.

There's the first three draft pages of said comic. Something something about losing your autonomy as a disabled person. Anyways, signing off until the next time: Nana-Tawi o7

You made it to the end!
