i love seeing qsmp fanart but i think theres definitely some persistent whitewashing issues when it comes to the latam cc’s. i was looking at qmissa fanart on twitter and on the left are four swatches from four different artists and on the right there are four swatches color picked directly from four different missa irl photos.

obviously i know lighting can make skintone differ but as a general hint to fan artists especially to those who aren’t familiarized with working with darker skin tones. you should know there is definitely an issue when you’re drawing missa the same shade as philza

i also know some people bring up that they use skin tones based off minecraft skins which tend to be paler than the cc’s irl, which is a topic i won’t get into here, but in missa’s case. he doesn’t have any skin tone shade on his minecraft skin. these are deliberate choices being made to make him so pale.

Maybe it’s my fear of not being believed but I literally can’t do comedy where the other person isn’t being believed. Straight up, at first I would get stressed when the Human Centipede clip was going around. Like, do you know how terrifying it is to be in a wild ass date where you think you’re in danger and the waiter notices but has they have to open their mouth so now you have lie. Or the Elmo Rocko memes like, OF COURSE ELMO’S DISTRESSED! I WOULD BE TOO! LIKE EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THIS ROCK IS REAL WHEN IT’S NOT(and like yah I’m sure there’s nuance to the situation but like COME ON).

Or Bibi from La Familia Peluche, I remember liking the show as kid and I still do but like, fuck man, the borderline emotional abuse than girl goes through IS WILD. LIKE EVERYONE FUCKING TELLING YOU THAT YOU’RE NOT NORMAL AND FEELING LIKE YOU’RE GOING CRAZY. I remember rewatching La Familia Peluche in Highschool and like fuck man, that period episode. Or to this day I remember the scene where they were serving food and she started to eat first and her family chastised her so she stops but then they make her feel back cause she already started so now she just continue to eat it and like I’ve literally been in a similar situation. And for those who haven’t watched the show, the whole shitck is that this is an absurd world where everyone works on a different level and Bibi’s the only who reacts normally to our eyes(the comedic straight man to alot of the jokes), which leads to the iconic line “Bibi porque no eres una niña normal”(Bibi why aren’t you a normal girl) that is said in every episode. Which from a dramatic irony perspective that we the audience know she’s the only normal person, makes it a funny joke, but if you think about it too hard, it’s so fucking sad, I just can’t help but not fully enjoy the show cause I just constantly feel bad for her.

Fuck even watching HALF LIFE VR BUT THE AI IS SELF AWARE FUCKS WITH ME! Like yes I very much enjoy the series! But, most of the time I’m just feeling bad for Gordon, like fuck man, I’d react the same way, wouldn’t you. Like ESPECIALLY BENRY! MAN DID HE STRESS ME OUT! I genuinely felt so bad for Gordon!

And then this slides into how I can’t enjoy alot of comedy(especially cringe humor) cause even though I understand the joke and think it funny on paper, I just end up feeling too bad for the character to actually enjoy. And it’s awful because I’ll STILL watch the shows because I’m invested in the characters not the humor if that makes sense??? (Oh, Community/The Office, the hate love relationship I have with you).

Anyway, yes I’m so fun to watch comedy with, I literally can’t be in the same room from some scenes. And yes, all my favorite characters follow the Only Sane Man trope, why’d you ask?

It’s crazy bc u guys think you don’t see race but you do. This is fandom specific now but like whenever u have a hc that just “feels right” or “makes sense” I implore you to not just think about how you interact with the race in question but also how the media you’ve seen or that’s been pushed to you interacts with the race in question as well. It’s gonna say a lot and you’re not gonna like it but I hope you’d rather not be racist than feel good 💀

Asha might not be a princess but she could still be a leader

As I said in a previous post it is 100% confirmed Asha will have no royal status whatsoever in this movie but will still be apart of the Disney princess line, do we have another Mulan situation here? I don’t think so.

So here’s my theory obviously she’s gonna defeat the villain that’s just how Disney movies work, But if she does that then why wouldn’t she take his place and be a princess? if she does good the people would probably want her to be their new ruler. (If they’re not completely politically brainwashed bc I can tell this movie will have political elements)

I love my Disney princesses but monarchy is shit in the real world and I can definitely see her accepting the role of a leader but not a princess or queen. Remember how vanellope changed herself into a president in wreck it Ralph? She could do that!

I want her to abolish/overthrow the monarchy!

I refuse to believe there aren’t racial elements to this movie the king paints this girl as a criminal for calling out how shit his system is and that would be perfect for our next black Disney “princess” to do (EDIT because someone got mad: I’m not calling Magnifico racist I’m talking about subtext in story writing, ashas whole motivation is gonna be about justice and how she wants better for her people)

And we’ve had other “leader” characters in the Disney Princess line, both Moana and Pocahontas are daughters of the chief the odd one out has always been Mulan so my question is… is this a Mulan situation or a Moana one?

EDIT: last night in an interview Ariana DeBose described Asha as and I quote “an all new original character with beautiful brown skin and freckles”. That to me says this will not be a Mulan situation and while I did compare Moana too, from a cultural standpoint she’s a technically a “Princess” since she always knew she’d inherit her island and still has that kind of princess privilege that characters like Tiana and Cinderella didn’t have until the end of their films. I genuinely might be in my own head here but I can’t see this ending any other way and the little hints they drop don’t seem subtle to me as both an artist and story writer

911 fic writers be normal about latino characters challenge (impossible, apparently)

[cleverclove]

Are there any cultures that your culture seems to be best friends with?

[lewisbian]

Idk why latinos who are not from Brazil and don’t speak Portuguese feel like they need to chime in with their “WELL IN THE REST OF LATIN AMERICA -” like honestly who cares ? Black Brazilians are telling you the way the word was used was violently derogatory like whyyyy do you want us to know what happens anywhere else omg? “Well we actually use the word as -” this is not about us? What exactly do you think you are contributing to the conversation by saying this? Like what value do you think you’re adding? Shut up porfa

[yellowsubiesdance]
