comment How do I check whether an orbifold admits deformations?
I get the impression that the OP writes "orbifold" to mean "geometric quotient of an orbifold". That is, a variety rather than a stack. In any case, it is true that every 2-dimensional quotient singularity is smoothable, because every 2-dimensional rational singularity is smoothable. See, for example, Artin's "An algebraic construction of Brieskorn's resolutions".

comment Intuitive pictures in characteristic p
I certainly can't make a good drawing of anything at all, but my picture of a separable map of, say, algebraic surfaces, is of the sea with a wave breaking along the ramification divisor, while a purely inseparable map is the sea where waves are breaking everywhere at once. Honestly, I find this at least slightly illuminating.
