LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 1, Wave 2, Poll 6
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.
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes-Marvel
Qualifications:
Missing his arm and commonly headcanoned as gay
Propaganda:
He's Bucket Barnes
Eichi Tenshouin-Ensemble Stars!!
Qualifications:
Eichi has an unspecified autoimmune disease that’s been keeping him in the hospital since he was young. Eichi has said that before meeting Wataru, he had never experienced love before. Eichi first saw Wataru on his TV in a hospital room, and thought of Wataru as a being loved by god unlike himself. For a lot of the story Eichi felt like Wataru was an unreachable being because of that, but finally accepts Wataru’s love at the end of eplink. Also when Eichiwas in the hospital he dreamed of Wataru as an angel coming to fly through the sky with him during Christmas, which is widely regarded as a celebration between lovers in Japan with the young adults/adults. I think Eichi once said that he was going to carve his existence into Wataru’s heart in element as well. In the 6th dream live the choreography was changed so that Wataru and Eichi did the Waltz after the second chorus.
Propaganda:
Read eplink, tempest, element, daydream novel, and blackbird that shit will change your life.

Emancipated duels. Photo by Pavel Kurmilev
Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.
