Life Sucks! Pinned Post

I'm your host, Mod Tim!

Submissions: closed

YOUR SUBMISSION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. And I'm deleting it.

Have a fav that's always down on their luck? We see you! This poll is not gender exclusive. It says "his" but you can submit whoever you want. Please, no in real life submissions...however, if you feel that you have a very compelling case in which I should allow an exception, I will consider it.

Please read all the rules and guidelines before submitting a character or asking questions. As time goes on (if needed), I'll have a questions and FAQ tag :}

T3RF$, R4DF3M$, AND N4Z1 CODED CHARACTERS ARE NOT WELCOME.

No H*rry P*tter or Att*ck On Tit*n content. Thank you.

So What's This About Anyway?

If your character has one of the following, they may be entitled to compensation:

an outrageous, i mean really, it's just ridiculous, amount of bad luck

the audacity to exist and for some reason, the universe took that personally

a personal grudge held by God himself,

they don't do much actually but shit sure does try to do everything to them.

They are disqualified if:

they are participating in active destructive behavior. If can track back to their actions being the cause to their suck life, disqualified. Example: people who are like Bigby Wolf. He ate several people, including a child, which caused mistrust. Despite trying to do better by becoming a sheriff later now, he continues to put himself into rough situations and has yet to work on his aggression (not including the implications of the 2nd game trailer).

If they qualified before their villain ark. Example: Doofenshmirtz. Yes, his life sucked. He was literally abandoned to be raised by ocelots. And yes, his evil plans blow up in his face (literally) out of deserved consequence. He chose this life.

This character has to be a neutral party or doing some active good.

You can have multiple submissions, but only one character per submission. Each submission requires at least one sentence of propaganda. Do not use propaganda to bash other characters. If you do, nobody will see it anyway. Promise <3

Something to keep in mind! I have a busy schedule so posting will not be consistent. I'll do my best to get something out at the start of, at least, every other week.

Thanks for reading everything! Tell me your favorite ice cream topping under the 0.0. I love an obscene amount of sprinkles. "No toppings" or "I don't eat/like ice cream" is also acceptable.

Alright, go crazy.

As an ambulatory wheelchair user I have so many thoughts about how people draw/write disabled!Scar. This is sort of a guide/insight from a disabled person about writing/drawing disabled people.

Specifically in regards to wheelchair users.

Do not get me wrong, this fandom is genuinely probably the best group of people I have ever seen when it comes to drawing wheelchairs. I do not believe I have ever seen Scar fanart where he is in a completely unusable, horrible, hospital chair. It is so clear people have taken the time and energy to research into wheelchairs and I love it. I am in no way saying stop that.

I just think people could maybe put a little bit more consideration into him being disabled beyond visual appearance.

I saw a really amazing artwork of SL!Scar and he is in a sports chair. Which is really cool, in many ways, as it shows some thought being put into the setting. If I were in combat, I would in fact like to not be knocked from my chair or have my chair tipped over.

Yet, you have very limited mobility in a sports chair. It is, by design, made to prevent you from tipping over. Which means that you are incapable of going over bumps, really, let alone natural terrain.

Just in general, there really is not any wheelchair that exists in our world that would allow wheelchair users to exist in a setting like the life series.

So, I have some ideas:

- Horses. Hands down my biggest suggestion. Especially with Secret Life they fit in very well with the setting, everyone uses them, and it fits the bill perfectly for what he would need. Especially considering Scar is an archer, it makes a lot of sense for him to be on horseback. It suits him and his style of fighting so well.

- Some sort of redstone power chair. There are all sorts of ways you could design something like this. Perhaps with pistons that push down against the ground, allowing for jumps. Perhaps just a series of pistions functioning as like a bunch of little spider legs. There are a lot of things you can do with that, you can get very creative.

- For my Vex!Scar lovers, you could have magic be used as a mobility aid. Perhaps a magic wheelchair, or perhaps a magic exoskeleton.

And with all of the ideas, considering how they fit into the setting really changes everything. What are the strengths? What are the draw backs?

With horses, they are strong and fast and agile. But they are big, it is hard to fit into small spaces, and they can be killed.

With some sort of redstone chair, I feel as though it would make sense for it to be robust and strong. Depending on how it is constructed, something fast and agile or perhaps something a bit slower and more clunky. Is it loud? How would stealth work in something like that?

When it comes to any sort of magic you do not want it to fix the disability. It is a mobility aid like any other. Not perfect, not the same as not being disabled, just another tool with its own unique draw backs. Perhaps magic is draining or it takes concentration. Would he tire quicker than others? Would he require food quicker than others? Is it possible for him to lose focus on it in a stressful situation, leaving him stuck until he can calm himself down?

Other things to consider are really specifically the setting as well as what disability you are giving him.

I feel as though on Hermitcraft an option like a redstone chair just makes a lot of sense. Multiple redstone chairs, even, all constructed differently for different uses. Such as ones for building. How does long distance travel work with the chair and how you lore your setting? Is it something he can put in his inventory? Is it something he remains in when using an elytra? Does that have any draw backs, such as being slower or needing more rockets or being less coordinated in the air?

I feel as though in the life series a mix of vex magic and horses makes a lot of sense. The magic is good for small spaces and short trips and emergencies, but it is too tiring to travel across the map with and too much effort to maintain when he needs to concentrate on battles. That would be where the horse comes into play.

As for what disability, well, it truly depends. Most of my rambles here have been based upon paraplegia, because I often times see people making him an ambulatory wheelchair user just because they do not know what to do otherwise.

Not that making him an ambulatory wheelchair user is a bad thing by any means. I am one and I adore reading stories like that. It is just a bit clear that a lot of you are quite lost as to how to navigate hurdles disabled people face, so you make it so he can walk over those hurdles. Which, once again, I am not shaming you for! This post is just to show there are other options

But in the case of him being an ambulatory wheelchair user: why is he one?

Mobilities aids are disabling unless you need them. You cannot access spaces or you do not have hands free or any number of things. What to the Scar you are writing makes using mobility aids helpful instead of a hindrance? What times are they more trouble than help, and what cost is there for not using it?

A good example is if Scar can walk around short distances with minimal difficulty/drawback, but long distances are painful or physically not possible.

Look into different disabilities and consider it. A lot of people tend to default to chronic pain because that tends to be quite a common one across a lot of disabled people, but there are a lot more different reasons why.

It could also be that he is very slow because of his disabilities. I have muscle weakness sometimes because of my FND, and it is like moving through sludge whenever I try and move.

It could also be that the mobility aids are a preventative measure. He does not need to use his wheelchair, unless he has done too much walking and then his body refuses to support his weight. He does not need to use his wheelchair, but when he does not he is a lot more likely to dislocate something and then yeah he can't walk. He does not need to use his wheelchair, but he is a fall risk especially after a lot of walking or running. Him being in his wheelchair prevents him from falling! (And if he's a fall risk, maybe he's strapped in too!)

I just have so many thoughts and I wanted to share them.

I see so many of you putting in effort already and it warms my heart. It is why I feel comfortable enough to make this post, because clearly you all care a lot about representing disabled people well.

:]

If you have read this far thank you so much. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Edit: I made a rough redstone wheelchair design. It is one of the few reblogs that has comments, if you filter for that you should be able to find it. If not, reply to the post and I can send you the link to it. :]

There are two Riddlers

There are two Riddlers facing off Batman, Robin, and Red Robin near City Hall. We're not sure where the second one came from but he looks like Bane if he was small, sopping wet, and wearing a sad trenchcoat. We can also tell which one is OUR Riddler because OUR Riddler hasn't killed anyone in almost a year and we're very proud of him. OTHER Riddler just shot at least three people.

Our Riddler is sitting off to the side with Red Robin and they seem to be playing puzzle games on Red Robin's tablet. Other Riddler is fighting Batman and Robin and seems surprised that Robin either exists or has a sword.

The Mechanisms’ mechanisms work differently in regards to how and how fast they come back.

Jonny’s is based on what makes sense the most for the story whether its coming back instantly for Sleeping Beauty or taking a whole hour or two at Gender Rebels so the others can do a show without him.

For Marius, I got the idea from a fanfic that he comes back when its the most comedic

Nastya and Ivy always come back after a specific, reasonable amount of time, Raphaella is similar, but various other factors can make it shorter or longer, giving her more things to experiment with.

Ashes comes back when you least expect it (only applies to mortals since the mechs always expect it)

Brian comes back when he is needed, and Toy Solider comes back when you tell it to.

oh!! this makes jonny's "our mechanisms rely on The Narrative" and nastya's "no tf they don't" both correct
