Celebrating quietly isn't so bad. Sometimes, it's the only way you can hear the birds singing.

Sarcean and colorism

Revisiting this topic because the lack of nuance has always bothered me, and there have been recent discussions about race in Dark Rise in my server, particularly how people in Western societies (especially the US) often struggle to understand racial dynamics beyond their own cultural constructs of race.

For example, they tend to interpret "mixed" as "multiracial" rather than "multiethnic." When I say I'm "mixed Asian," they automatically assume it means mixed with white. But no—you can still be 100% Asian and come from mixed ethnic backgrounds.

Now, onto the main topic.

I previously mentioned that Sarcean is "discriminated against for his coloring" in the Sun Kingdom, which is clearly an allegory for colorism. This has been laughed at and mocked by some as impossible because Sarcean was a "white guy," with suggestions to "focus on Violet’s real-world racism" instead.

But is that really accurate?

C.S. Pacat is a member of ethnic minority who has openly shared how their experiences as an ethnic minority in Australia have heavily influenced his work, with these themes appearing frequently in his characters and their political dynamics. Damen in Captive Prince embodies this experience, so would it be so surprising if Pacat infused similar qualities into Sarcean??

(Since I'm not part of that ethnic group, and the term could be considered a slur, I'll refer to it here as "Pacat's ethnic group".)

(You can read more about the discrimination faced by others of Pacat’s ethnic group in this compiled post)

So, yes, I believe Sarcean share the same ethnicity as Pacat’s. While I believe readers are free to interpret his ethnicity in a way that resonates with them—that’s Pacat's intention, to make them relatable—this is the closest reference we have in terms of "canon".

In the US, he might be labeled as "white," but in regions with different racial dynamics—like Australia or the Sun Kingdom for example—he could be considered an ethnic minority.

Many other readers, like myself, may not belong to this ethnic group but have had similar experiences of colorism in our own societies.

Claiming that only one form of racism matters is bigoted.

People can still face discrimination from others within their own “race,” and even from family members based on our skin, hair or eye color. Just because you don’t personally experience it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. And just because it’s not common in your country or society doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist elsewhere.

By dismissing this allegory as "Sarcean was disliked for being goth," you’re disregarding the real experiences of people who face colorism and find resonance in that passage because of their own lived experiences.

By implying that, you're missing the whole point of C.S. Pacat's works.

Laughing at it “like a hyena” doesn’t make you look insightful or intellectual—it only makes you a bigot.

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

[usateii]

Idk why people are bending over backward to convince everyone that a group of people who openly and proudly declares themselves as "bad" is bad, while being willfully ignorant to another group who's been masquerading as good, pure, heroic, and saintly, yet slowly being exposed as rotten to the core.

"I dOn’T tHiNk tHe LiGhT sIdE iS sEcrEtLy bAd gUyS..."

Secretly???

The Light side:

Child abusers

Multiple attempts of child murders

Grooming and scamming minors into joining a suicide cult

Exploiting someone’s powers as a tool to do their dirty work

When said “tool” grows too powerful for them to control, trap and imprison them with unfounded accusations

Singling out anyone with "dark colorings" or "unnatural magic types" (Do we really still need to spell out how this is an allegory for racism and queerphobia? hello)

Breed humans to be used as a potential meatsuits for their undead champion, which in the end killed an innocent teenage girl

I'm sure there's something to call what Jannick was doing when he's making sexual comments about James, a teenager who was also his own son??

(Feel free to add more!)

"I’m sure there’s more going on..."

Oh, you still need MORE?? You only need 2-3 words of rumor to be sure that the dark side is bad, but still require more proofs while all of these happened before your eyes?? Dude😭

[usateii]

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹
