"Very different to be a minority, but not be treated as a minority right off the bat. I'd say now people are very aware of my race because they made it such a big issue when I moved to the UK. But before that...most people didn't treat me like a 'Black woman.' So that talk didn't have to happen for me."

A bit bumming how few mixed native especially pale mixed natives are out here. Spent a while reblogging and gathering sources around the topic for this blog but have found nothing beyond a select few 🥲. If you guys are out there feel free to follow me or interact plz 🙏 Would love to find people who I can relate to as a community that can come together!

Shout out to the mixed people who are torn away from their cultural centers!

I get being in the middle of white no where and being able to count the number of my type of poc people on my hands.

in light of deviantart being pro-israel, i will be pulling all of my resources from the platform and uploading it to a very free archive. the first to be uploaded? all of my fuckin' PSD's. all free. and more will be added to this folder. this is a general archive to keep my stuff safe, but also great for anyone who just wants a trove of my PSD colorings. it is, once again, super free of charge, but you are more than welcome to tip/donate if you feel generous. idk just make sure to give my infodoc a read regarding rules and usage and an update log if you feel so compelled. again, it is free of charge, so you can input $0 if you'd like, but please do consider tipping bc i put my whole dick, balls, pussy, giblets, and other bodily fluids into this.

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

Howdy howdy hey! I’ve been thinking about thinking more about that cowboy au, and so I’m trying to make some satisfying human designs for it :D this is what I’ve got so far though:

Kremy Lecroux, african American! One of the more recently learned black men after the civil rights act of 1866 (with help of course from Remy Guru) Conman and cook extraordinaire! People only ‘trust‘ him because he’s a stupid black man (wrong) The stache is still penciled on of course.

Gideon Coal, Mexican. Forced to help his pop in the Coal Mines after his mother left the two on their own with little money. His father died in the mines and Gideon was exploited (even more) as easy labor by white men. Has a set of manacles and chains he used to kill his original employers during an uprising and uses them as a lassoooooo

Morning Frost, Chinese immigrant. He originally came to America with his parents during the California gold rush. Learned English from whatever posters and newspapers he could find along with listening to white people speak. He also learned his mind games by doing the same thing. His robes are a gift from his parents when he set off to do…. Something

Gricko, Native American. He’s a younger generation, and is trying to meld into society after hearing their musics. Was kicked out of his tribe and eventually found a carnival (witchlight). There he met a young hard of hearing girl nicknamed hootsie and adopted her and ran. The two are slowly making a sort of sign language that the rest of the party eventually also learns to speak with Hootsie. Gricko picked up whittling to make toys and such for Hootsie and makes carvings of interesting animals he sees or hears about.

That’s all I have for them rn… I will likely change or flesh out certain parts of backstory’s and character designs. If there‘s any suggestions I’d love to hear them! (Im worried this comes off as insensitive or racist, I’m trying my best but there’s only so much research I can do) I’m really having fun making this so far hehe >:3c

After, no joke like 2 or 3 months of concepting and bothering my friends for opinions, I FINALLY have a main fursona again LOL. After years of not having one!

Don't worry my other ocs aren't going anywhere, I will always have multiple sonas and I love them all. but now i have a main and that feels nice! My dragon ocs are mostly seperate from the furry Fandom in my mind even though I know that distinction doesn't really matter much for others, it feels wrong to draw them as anthros for some reason :p

Shes based on a piebald deer as well as my faun oc cause I absolutely adore her. Shed also a mule deer x fallow, 2 of my favorite deer species! I dont think those 2 can actually hybridize in nature but its okay, im mixed irl and I think its cute. Shes also a talking deer.

Im excited to slowly start getting art of her with friends and drawing her when I have time!

If drawn with hair she can have long 3c type hair like mine irl, or french curl braids which ive also had irl ✨️🌸

You can find out more about her on my th page: https://toyhou.se/23341128.pidgedove
