Hey I know hwupocam ended somewhat lackluster, but I think robozombiepocalypse would agree w/ me when I thank everyone for their participation, albeit a month late!! 

Lots of (not all pleasant) stuff went down in April, but to those who understood the point of hwupocam - to amplify voices of color in the fandom + create more fanwork for characters of color in HWU - I thank you! 

I would love to keep the tag/this blog alive, maybe by creating some sort of prompt system that could happen here weekly/monthly to keep creating fanwork featuring POC that could be reblogged here, but I’d have to talk it over w/ Zena & hope the fandom would be interested?

Mr. and Mrs. Robot | A fanmix for the messiest relationship between the two meanest professors HWU has to offer. Compiled by me, pippa, aka tereziskyrope (personal) + pixelberry-pippa. My 8tracks is here.

Cover art by me, rhys aka acegems, and jebs aka herorosalyn / jebsplayshss. Both contributed to the cover art (both with their own artwork and feedback), and jebs suggested two of the songs!

All the pieces used: 

by me: words + frame / x / x rhys: x jebs: x / x

They both volunteered to help me, and i’m super thankful to them and so excited about the end product! ♥ It was so fun to be able to create this with you both!

Originally created for hwupocam, a month organized by zena (robozombiepocalypse ) and myself that took place April 2015

Please listen, likes and feedbacks are greatly appreciated!! Tracklist, excerpts, and a few notes are under the cut.

What is this feeling, so sudden and new? I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing. My head is reeling My face is flushing. What is this feeling?

Week 2 of Hollywood U POC Apprecation Month was shipping. I ship Holly Chang and Priya Singh a lot. They seem like the kind of couple that would dislike each other at first, but think the other was really attractive. Then they’d talk more, realize they have a lot in common, (mainly their very high standards), and romantic shenanigans ensue.

For HWUPOCAM Week 3, I introduce to you the Johnson twins, Will & Monroe!

Hailing from Queens, NY, these 23-year-olds have always had a knack for adventure and adrenaline. That’s why it was a no-brainer for them to enroll at Hollywood U. Monroe is Will’s stuntman for all of his projects (directors and producers love that because there’s less editing they have to do in post-production XD). When the twins aren’t filming, they love playing pool and basketball; hanging out at dive bars; and listening to music (Will is really into today’s r&b and hiphop whereas Monroe prefers to listen to old school jazz).

Sorry I haven’t been posting (especially for HWUPOCAM) recently… I haven’t been feeling too good…

But for Week 3 of HWUPOCAM, I decided to whip up a quick picture of my magician guy! He’s called Merlin in my game, and he’s very over the top and dresses snazzily.

  • HWUPOCAM Week Three: Your POC MC. 

This is my entrance for week three of hwupocam. both my MC are of mixed ethnicity. 

Reif was my HSS MC, a bit ashamed to say he is basically the cartoon/better version of me (dodge the Marty stue accusation thrown at me) so yeah, mixed heritage kids here. of Moroccan Father and Javanese mother (Indonesia not japan) :P like me, he is a nerd (personally wallflower suits me better)

Archie as you might have read before is my HWU MC with Hawaiian father and Armenian mother. he got his red hair from his father and brown skin from his mother. an aspiring director.

Hollywood U POC Appreciation Month Week 3: Your MC

My main character is white, and since batahala just had their birthday, I drew their MC Katja instead. She’s a movie star and she’s really nice and sweet and everyone should go ask Nona about their OCs because their OCs are the best.

Super messy sketch of Dean and Shae for @hwupocam weeks 1 and 2… I discount the first drawing, it was so bad but I like this one!
