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

True but Izzy isn't even the only disabled main character, Lucius and Spanish Jackie are both also amputees who are living about as happy lives as you can get as a pirate, Black Pete has a cleft palate and Ed wears a leg brace

It's good to be aware of bigotry in media but honestly I just don't think it applies here because Izzy isn't the only representation of any particular group in the show, not by a long shot

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

Honestly this is my favourite so far, changed up how I did the colour and it made it look a lot more vivid

Was planning to have this posted before Jaime’s film came out but then I decided to do my complicated shading style for it so here we are

ID:

[Digital Illustration of Jaime Reyes’ blue beetle on left side of canvas, he’s faced portrait side and has his right arm and leg up, his right arm is clenched into a fist while his left is relaxed at his side. Behind him is a yellow and orange stained glass window with Khadji Da on the main panel and circular patterns on most the rest except for a small rectangular panel on the bottom which has Jaime’s heart-like symbol on it. The piece is bordered with a paper texture which only Jamie’s left wing overrides.]
