I feel like there should be more diversity in general, of course, but specifically in terms of like. disabilities and Imperfections™ or just things society doesn't see as the white neurotypical ablebodied symmetrical face practically starved ideal without it being a plot point. idk how to put my thoughts into words like yes I mean let teenage characters have acne or whatever but also. let one of the girls in younger sibling's class have an ugly looking scar on her lip from something prior to the story, and that something isn't her being attacked by monsters because she's secretly The hope and light Chosen One, the scar isn't all neat and clean and cute, it's a scar that looks like an actual scar and it's not plot relevant! let people have facial deformities without it being some sort of character design things showing how stupid or bitter or mean old veteran man they are, and let them be nice without being helpless and dumb! let the preteen with undiagnosed POTS in the background use a cane to help them walk because they passed out yesterday and they're still a little wobbly! That used to be me! let the friend use hearing aids and it not be a cute or quirky thing, look at how helpless they are, let them just need hearing aids! let the mc have a diet that's not them being a radical vegan joke but them having celiac disease and not being able to eat gluten and let people respect that without calling them dramatic or whiny or sneaking it into their food and when they do it's framed as them being a terrible jerk and not a funny joke, same thing with people who do choose to be vegan or have religious diets tbh let them be respectful and respected. Let the woman who the mc asks for directions be in a wheelchair, let people with disabilities use tools to help them with their disabilities and let them have disabilities. let the cashier have vitiligo, let the visiting cousin have heterochromia without it being magical, let one eye be smaller the the other, let people have asymmetrical faces and crooked or big noses, let people be people because sometimes people Are Just Like That
