LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 1, Wave 3, Poll 2

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

Tougou Mimori-Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero

Qualifications:

her legs are paralyzed for a long time and even after she regains leg movement she still likely has some form of ptsd due to her experiences (she also clearly shows signs of some other kind of mental illness but that isn't explicitly stated by canon), she also canonically has a crush on her best friend and has an extremely homoerotic relationship with her other best friend

She is canonically sapphic and a wheelchair user.

Propaganda:

she's so amazing, like she's the mom friend, the tech wiz, she pretended to be a vigilante one time, she tried to destroy the world, she's a history buff, she's stubborn, she had amnesia, she prefers her last name even with her closest friends, she's a total goofball, she loves to cook and bribes her friends with snacks

Are you a fan of magical girls? Of magical girls who would like to kiss other magical girls, perhaps? Well then. #togosweep

The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @melodemonica is the first submitter.

Isabella Peretti-ValorPUNK

Qualifications:

I don't have to try and argue for people to see my Vision (tm) or make up headcanons to get her into this competition. Isabella is a CANON wheelchair [user], bi/pan teenage girl!

Propaganda:

Her exact romantic/sexual orientation hasn't been stated because she is discovering it throughout the course of the show! She falls for a girl and their romance is a long-running plotline with a lot of major focus, and then when it crashes and burns (because the other girl has unresolved mental illnesses), she takes some time to heal before dating a ninja himbo sweetheart. As for her being [a] wheelchair [user], she got into a car accident when she was little and it paralyzed her from the waist down. This is NOT a focal point because the show starts when she's a teenager and the chair is already daily life for her, but there IS one very funny scene where she goes to a classmate's house to help him with his computer and his house is two stories, so he has to carry her fireman-style up the stairs and it's awkward and silly.

Anything Else?:

ValorPUNK is a TTRPG show with a ton of LGBT+ and disabled representation! All the players are queer and many of them have chronic pain or mental illnesses, so the rep is all authentic and well-done.

Any hopes and prayers for the ValorPUNK final?

That I can be there to watch it live

No Vika x Russel canon

Uhhhhh nobody dies hopefully

I'm catching up with E64 and honestly I'm surprised that the finale is coming NOW. Like... it doesn't feel like endgame? And ValorPUNK feels like it's heading into an endgame all the time. So it's really weird that it doesn't feel like that for once, but it really is the endgame.

I kinda think maybe the series should've ended with Triton's defeat since that was the big bad from day one. I know that gods are a bigger-scale threat, but like, we haven't had as much time to care about them.

It IS very comic-book, so like, I guess it follows the MASKS rulebook lol

[endy-x]

Can people stop starting their streams at 10pm-1pm Britain time!!!! I'm TRYING to keep a sleep schedule

[nikodraws]

Baby Game! I've taken my shot at Gming and I'm running the lowest production, lowest commitment, lowest stakes game of Masks: A New Generation anyone has ever seen! These are my players! Rene- A transformed who was a dog and is now a boy played by Carl/Unclehotdad from Stabbyness Artie - A robot legacy who wants to learn to be a real boy played by Jay Stabbyness over on stabbyness Sedona - A delinquent who got the attention of the Spirit Coyote for her exploits and for saving his kids. Played by @Deeovertoun over on Xitter who did the art for their Icon and also art for Valorpunk on Surprise Round! I'm posting the sessions up on my patreon mostly for fun because this is my first go at Gming and I'm not sure how emotionally prepared I am for streamed games or any of that yet but I like having the recordings and I figured since everyone agreed I could at least put them there. So if you wanna see sessions 1 and 3 of Niko Bumbles through GMing a tiny little game of masks. You can do it here -> https://www.patreon.com/Nikodraws Session 2 was lost to winds, sorry.

Any ValorPUNK fics/ AUs you've never gotten around to making or talk about?

Plenty!

The Vampire Gavruss AU I co-wrote in DMs with Dee is still one of my favorite things I've ever helped write, and someday I'd like to actually write it out properly

ValorPUNK/Valor Academy crossover fic where the VP kids get sent back in time to an early-ish point in VA, and then change the future by being there. They eventually have to get Roland to help undo everything. (This was mostly an excuse to have Ethan and Gavin interact)

On that note: Ethan and Gavin interacting (in the present)

Oneshot exploring the line "I think I'm tired of the word family" because holy shit

Finishing that VP/RSR crossover (I already know the whole second half, I just haven't written it bc not a lot of interest was shown and it kinda killed my motivation)

More Isabella-Gavin rivalry fics (I wrote one but I've tossed around ideas for multiple in DMs with people)

Gavruss smut with heavily projected themes of repression (I will never write this, I am not experienced in writing smut, it just lives in my brain rent-free)

A fic from before DKJR was defeated where he captures Michelle and Tommy and forces the kids to play prisoner's dilemma about it (angsty action-adventure romp about the kids saving their parents)

Whole angst oneshot solely about Gavin's grief and extreme amount of mixed emotions right after Michelle dies while he's lying in Vika's box-bed at the base (I talked with Mo about this a lot and it was great)

there are probably more but these are the ones I remember for now
