i think it might be a good idea, when you’re designing a villain, if you look at them and think “why do these characteristics make me think of them as villainous” and like, if those characteristics reflect groups of real-life marginalized people….maybe, don’t go with those design choices?

*large hook noses, dark complexion, prominent lips, elderly, physical deformities, injuries, or disabilities, non-conforming gender presentation, obesity or overweight body types, improperly represented mental illnesses, sometimes sexual expression or agency especially in female villains, and certain accents*

Especially if none of your heroes have these characteristics. Like, if all your good guys have light complexion and your villain is the only person who mysteriously has dark skin… But if some or all your heroes also have dark skin, it isn’t that which sets apart your villain from the rest.

Apologies for being quiet these past couple days, life has thrown me for a bit of a curve and I’m still adjusting my sails. At least I have pretty rocks to brighten my day! :) ♡ This stripey beauty went into the shop this week, all purples and blues and that vibrant splash of green. ♡

Hey. One of my favourite persons in the whole wide world needs some help getting food for the next few weeks. 

I am, of course, talking about the ever beautiful Luna Merbruja.

They asked me to make a donation post for them because, well, things have been *really* tough and they need some help.

Their paypal is: lunamerbruja@gmail.com

Please donate or boost if you can.

Hey folks, I know I didn’t reblog this a few weeks ago when it was first going around, but I was up for a non-profit job and scared of them seeing this on my blog.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job. :/

Fortunately, the donations from this post covered food for the month! :D

However, I’m currently commuting 120 miles a day for a full-time minimum wage job, and still don’t make enough to cover my initial moving costs while paying for rent and bills. I put the initial costs on a credit card to save me time but now the payments are coming in.

Breakdown (total: $1,115 USD) Deposit: $715 Uhaul: $200 Household necessities*: $200

If you can donate and share, that’d be greatly appreciated. <3 I’ll reblog this with periodic updates!

All the gratitude, Luna

*Utensils, dishes, conditioner, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc
