Now that it's 2024, there's a thing I hope that never gets repeated again. See, every time that there's a cast announcement that includes actors who are not white, there is someone that complains that they're forcing diversity on us. But let's be honest here: Diversity is Never forced, it can't be forced, and we're going to talk about how it's the whiteness that has been forced on us forever.

You know what would be cool? Shows that stop featuring one main white person and then their parter happens to be a person of color or they’re biracial. Can we just have shows where people aren’t hinged from whiteness or exist in a sea of whiteness unless there’s actual context for it (such as the population of an area being predominantly white)? I am currently writing a book where two of the main characters are biracial (half Black, half white) and that decision was thoughtful and based on several factors (personal, bc I grew up in a white AF town with my adopted siblings who were also half Black, half white, and geographically, bc there was such a small portion of people of color in my town, and many midwestern towns, to begin with). Even within the book and the series I’m working on as a whole, this is analyzed throughout the entire story through the perspective of these two characters. I’m white and I get sick of seeing whiteness in media as the focal point of a story without any care or cultural context for the “diversity decisions” that are made throughout the work. It needs to change, permanently. And having trans main characters could be cool, too.

So I whipped up some magical girl sketches :V my cousin suggested that I work on some character designs that might be some good role models/someone to represent them in media and I like magical girl media a lot so I decied to draft up these two! The girl in the back is named Cadence and her magical girl weapon is a Drum Major's mace that she can use to cast music based spells. The girl in the front is Desi. She's a relatively new magical girl and doesn't quite get who she is as an MG but she's got a bow and arrow and a strong desire to fight evil despite being so young :D - - - - - #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #digitalart #digitalartist #oc #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #character #characterdesign #characterdesigner #magicalgirl #charactersofcolor #diversity #diversityinmedia #fantasy #anime #cute #animeart #csp #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintpro https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPNjF4gj1O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w13bn2d9ydq5

Look at them. I love them. Even when they are dumb. Especially when they are dumb. These five are a few of the main characters of the second half of my personal story Tendaji’s Bastards. All but Trent are, to some level, “afflicted,” victims of an atavistic mutagen. Markos is virtually untouched by mutation, only betrayed by possessing a tapetum lucidum, a condition that is very common among afflicted. #originalcharacters #sketching #doodles #characterart #portrait #chosenfamily #characterdesign #charactersofcolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYzK4ble4-/?igshid=zkgy52d1ew7w
