the new mutants graphic novel is so cinematic. five teenagers from very different backgrounds - the brazilian soccer star facing racial prejudice and a very personal loss, the vietnamese refugee raising her two younger siblings, the scottish werewolf who worries that her difference makes her sinful, the coal miner from kentucky who sacrifices his dreams to care for his family, the cheyenne girl who keeps accidentally hurting others and has to leave everything she knows behind to stop that from happening again - all of them struggling with what it means to be a teenager, that transition from innocent child to responsible adult, and what it means to be a mutant, when they are targeted or used for what they are. it's a compelling story and a compelling line-up and i think it would be incredibly easy to make a straight adaptation of.
the racism and stereotypes inherent in the writing would also be relatively easy to just write out, if you got decent sensitivity readers and didn't whitewash the cast. i think all of the characters are complex enough (especially after 40 years' worth of appearances in comics) to feel like real people and not just stock characters representative of their race.

Unfortunately I don't play Genshin anymore due to storage problems BUT IM ALSO A WANDERER MAIN LMAO AND OMFG THANK YOY VERY MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO'S ONE OF MY FAV AUTHORS AND YES FARUZAN SUPREMACY AAAAAAAAAAA ILY SM<333
I'm literally going crazy bc you replied to my crazed fan ask HAHAHAHAHA
\(//∇//)\ i am definitely not responding late!! i perceive time like a normal human would.. and that’s so crazy!! ♡
i have loved wanderer since maybe my first time hearing his existence?? i’m not a day-one-er but quite close! so glad he did not get signora’d. if you play on mobile you can try deleting the app and redownloading because the clear old files option doesn’t actually clear everything, and sometimes a redownload may be able to fit within your storage! i absolutely adore faruzan though!! peak character design even if she is genshin’s hatsune miku, not complaining though i think her glass looking dress-skirt is amazing. (*´∀`)♪
i’m happy to be able to talk and respond to people!! getting asks just talking to me or people sending things like how they think my writing style is pretty makes me super happy!! so i’m equally as fanboy-ing when you and others talk to me!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯
