Overview of some topics when it comes to drawing characters who are burn survivors.

DISCLAIMER. Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview for drawing some burn scars and has a lot of generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. I'm calling this introductory because I hope to get people to actually do their own research before drawing disabled & visibly different characters, rather than just making stuff up. Think of it as a starting point and take it with a grain of salt (especially if you have a very different art style from mine).

Talking about research and learning... don't make your burn survivor characters evil. Burn survivors are normal people and don't deserve to be constantly portrayed in such a way.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

Edit: How are people seeing this post where I specifically talk about burn survivors being normal, real people, and still tag this as "TW body horror"? Not a single one of these drawings or pictures is a fresh injury. All of them are healed. How the hell would you feel if someone tagged a photo of you as "trigger warning: gore"?

Disabled people are not your fucking body horror. Grow up.

it is deeply frustrating to me to see the many popular (50k+ notes) posts going around celebrating USA culture in the wake of the FIFA World Cup. not because I dislike the many great aspects of US culture! but because, apparently, it's 100% good and okay to celebrate loving your country which is committing cultural genocide against its native peoples, which has concentration camps in Florida and Texas, which is founded on white supremacy, which has a fascist President, where cops butcher BIPOC every day, which has legal slavery, and is horrifically corrupt... if it's not Israel.

why can't I love my country publicly? In spite of the bad things that happen here? why can't I say, I love the beaches of Tel Aviv-Yafo, I love the rich history of Yerushalayim, I love the public parks and the universities, I love our music, I love matkot, I love seeing all the lights on Hannukah, I love the sombre silence of Yom Kippur that's only possible here. I love my country and I love my people. I even love my local municipality for its consistent work supporting lgbtq and disabled people even if it still has a long way to go in supporting Arabs and African migrants. But I'm afraid to say so in a public space. I'm afraid I'll get called a zionazi, a genocide apologist, etc.

It's not fair. It's not just.

i love it when people use the phrase 'biblically accurate' to describe things that most certainly were not in the bible. "biblically accurate hatsune miku" i don't know if that's true but i am enchanted by the beautiful world you have invented

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

all these fucking fools on my dashboard talk about how they love bats but only show pictures of fruit bats fuck you start posting pictures of all bats i can’t stand this fucking bat erasure

look at him he’s not your conventionally attractive bat but he deserves just as much love

Yo, you want some adorable non-fruit bats? Gotcha covered, pals!

Long Eared Bat, huge ears and an adorable face!

Mexican Free Tailed Bat, named for the fact that their uropatagium (back leg membrane) doesn’t cover their tail, leaving them with a teeny mouse-like tail.

Gould’s Wattled Bat, they got some pearly white sharp teeth, but they tell great jokes and always laugh at yours too.

“HAHAHAHAHA!”

Hoary Bat, AKA the bat that looks like they’re covered in powdered sugar.

Bulldog Bat, a bulldog… with wings <3

Vampire Bat, often seen as creepy, but they’re actually really cute. Also fun fact, vampire bats live in a social structure where able-bodied bats go out and feed and then share part of their meal with old/weak/sick members who cannot forage themselves. No survival of the fittest here, every bat helps every bat out <3

And lastly, the Painted Bat, and yes, those are its actual colors. Can’t get any more Halloween than that <3

Let me add a couple more!!

A personal favorite of mine: Honduran White Fruit Bat, also known as ‘Marshmallow Bats’! These tiny cuties make tents by nibbling on the leaves until they fold down, and they snuggle close underneath it!

Bumblebee Bat! The smallest bat species and often considered the smallest mammal on Earth!

And the newly discovered Pied Bat!! I couldn’t find much about them, but gosh, they are adorable!!

"My family thinks because im a leftist it means im radical but like whats radical about that? I just want everyone to hug, no bad things to happen, free healthcare and be nice to everyone" - the coldest, rudest most judgemental person you know.

darkladynyara

Yeah. This. It's the refusal to acknowledge that the world is messy and complicated, that tradeoffs are a thing, and that people can disagree in good faith. Because only a Bad Person could possibly disagree with "healthcare and hugs."
