Decided to draw her comic version this year since last year I did the tv show versions

So like we already know Toh makes fun of Harry potter in a ton of ways and subverts all of its tropes but I haven't seen anyone bring up the way Toh treats magic disability Vs the way HP treats magic disability.

Specifically thinking about the fact that squibs in HP can't use magic but their whole family can and instead of being allowed into school to learn potions, astronomy, beast keeping etc etc (literally any class except charms and defense against the dark arts really) they're ostrichisised from the whole wizarding community and presumably not given any education whatsoever, not even a Muggle one. And while yeah HP treats this as tragic it also doesn't pose this treatment as wrong or smth in need of change just 'oh the poor disables are born so sad and that sucks but oops what you gonna do'.

Vs the owl house where Luz is similarly magically disabled (she literally can't do magic according to boiling isles conventions). But instead of the show going whoops guess you were born unlucky shoulda had better genes, Luz learns a different way of doing magic and while the community is shocked by this they still accept this new form of magic and allow her into their society. Hunter also falls into this, he's born a powerless witch so instead he uses a staff and artificial magic until he gets a palisman. While toh acknowledges that the world is harder for people like Luz and Hunter it doesn't frame that as the end of the conversation and instead shows that just because you can't do things like other people can doesn't mean you can't find a new way that works for you that nobody has thought of before

God I love this show

Blue - Terry from The Dragon Prince [Trans boy]

Terry is actually one of my favourite trans masc characters ever, it’s so rare to see early transition characters who are presented as happy and non-tragic. Also he’s visibly trans!! I get so fed up with the only trans rep we get being extremely cis passing people when that’s not what 99% of us look like

Didn’t get these two last year when I was doing the random spinner so you know I had to draw em this year!

Have we considered that Bruce Wayne is just a semi-verbal autistic?

Gentle reminder;

Burying your gays as a trope doesn't apply to media where literally every character is queer and only one of them dies

That's just called regular character death
