Wait I mean this so genuinely is it bad if you're white and make your ink/octoling black for Aesthetic/OC reasons? My Inkling's been black sense Splat1 cause they were never gonna look like me anyway so I made them more to just look cool, and built an OC around them later. But is that bad?? Should I not be making player characters black if I, the player, am not black?
I mean this all very genuinely I'd never considered it was hurtful to do sense it was my game, my character, my rules to me.
don’t worry, you’re fine!
as a Black person, it’s usually very clear to me when people are using Black player characters as an intimidation tactic or to be “funny,” and representing your Black splat oc doesn’t fall into that category
usually the racist players use the darkest skin tone with red eyes and either a racist nickname or a racist splashtag title (ex: Dark/Pitch-Black XYZ)
the tweet i was referring to was a video from a non-Black Japanese splat team where they showed their inklings and then themselves irl, and the whole darkest-skin-reddest-eyes thing was perfectly on display
there’s a difference between aesthetics and caricatures, and 90% of splat players never cross that line, but it’s important to be mindful of it anyway :)

the reason why bejeweled feels very calvin to me still is how it parallels high infidelity. in general, the 3am tracks seem to explore a darker, more explicit side of a storyline that’s already present, if only in the form of subtext (like we don’t have a direct parallel for wcs, but we do have two songs exploring formative past relationships vaguely sexually, and wcs is the darker example), on the main album, and bejeweled/high infidelity is perhaps the best example of this. its similarities to tolerate it, which is about something she felt ‘at one point in her life,’ back this up. HOWEVER, I do think it’s exploring a potential outcome of the then-current state of her relationship with joe. like, this is how things could go - I have forgotten that I have a man in the past, and I can do it again.

Getting hung up on Tracker and Kristen taking digs at each other when they’re still talking about something bigger like religion frustrates me to no end. Yes they are exes, yes things can come off rude but neither one of them has been wrong in the meat of what they’re saying when discussing religion and the way they practice.
Outside of the fucking or fighting, Trackerbees have ALWAYS been able to understand each other and hear each other out when it comes to their respective gods or religion as a whole. They both have different perspectives to offer, different work ethics, and different wisdoms to share the other because there ultimately is a bigger picture. These young women are both incredibly wise.
They’re also messy ass teenagers! Those bigger, more introspective, and worldly questions will be interspersed with a low blow or two. But it’s a low blow because there can be some truth to it. Focusing ONLY on the low blows and using that to paint whoever you like less as a bad person gets you nowhere. It kinda does a disservice to the story telling when you paint it sooo one note bc Brennan and Ally do SUCH a good job at drawing out the complexities of their relationship. The infatuation, The toxicity, the hurt, the gratitude, the frustration, the support, and the love. All of it.
