all of my roleplay blogs are currently on an indefinite hiatus.  i don’t really think i’ll come back to any of them unless i received some sort of divine sign , tbh. i feel like i’ve really lost my appeal , && i’m never excited to be here anymore. so !!  with that being said , i’d like to thank everyone who took time out of their day / night / unholy mornings to make my rp experience really , really special.  it was fun to jump around in the skins of a fearless rebel leader , or a charismatic disney princess , or a master of the four elements , or a dragon queen , among others.  it helped me get away from myself , if only for a few screen - lit hours.  it improved me as a person , && i will treasure all of you, since you’ve taught me so much.  i’ll remember my nights in my little bedsheet - tent , clicking away html replies on my ipad, with enough warmth to heat a city through a long winter.
you’ve all given me more love than i deserve.  it’s been fun.  goodbye. ♥

no problem at all !!  in my several years’ experience on tumblr rp , i’ve noticed that MOST muns are usually asian ( comme moi ) && i’ve met a fair amount of black muns as well.  they’re all well - loved for their talent && commitment.  i hate when people play the race card when people might simply not like them for any number of reasons , whether that would be their writing style , the nature / familiarity of their character , etc.  i don’t want people making concessions for me && pitying me because of my race.  when it comes to writing , i’d like to think i have as much of a chance as anyone else.  it’s a veritable argument when it comes to instagram models && the like , imo , but tumblr rp ???  we’re all nerds && mostly faceless.  it has nothing to do with race here , && i , as a mostly pakistani person with a bit of arab ancestry , found nothing offensive about her portrayal. let people use poc faceclaims && be proud of it. i'm brown && have had several muses && i think i've only used a poc fc once. it's like when i was little , && people kept telling me that i was supposed to like princess jasmine because she was the same color as me but like ???? when it comes to characters , it's what's inside that counts. i love representation tho , give it to me , make me pretty strong south asian girls that defy the misogynistic weight that is hanging over that region. let's all be fuckin friends wtf. people pull sm shit out of their asses nowadays i’m sm h

                  you are envied by the gods for your mortality, young warrior. they envy                       you, for any moment might be your last. there’s a certain beauty in being doomed ;                        from sorrow comes joy in forms of epics & ballads that sing of your glory — they sing                       the SONG OF ACHILLES, champion of the gods. take heart and remember, you shall                       not be forgotten. your body remains scattered among constellations of heroes long                        p r a i s e d.

Like know a fence, and not to be messy, but what is it with you getting more attention playing a whitewashed Indian muse than actual Indian muns? And also what is it with white people getting more attention doing the Bare Minimum than, you know, actually talented Indian muns like @hellfirekhaleesi and @destructiveglitch? Hm, it’s almost like white muns like you ( @veilled ) get more attention for weak, colorist nonsense than you know Real Indian Muns. That’s so amazing. Like, wow.
But like I said, no Shade ….. no Messiness … 
Not even trying to Start Drama, I just want to know how a white person playing a lighter skinned Indian woman gets more attention than my home slice, bread slice, Farida, who is actually Indian? Like it’s amazing! Like actually incredulous! It’s like there’s some actual problems there wow! 
    ( also … what’s it with you feeling like PoC need to correct you when you do some messy nonsense? Like, why do PoC have to clean you up? There’s google for a goddamn reason? )
But anyways back to the Nastiness with you only using black n white icons for a Indian muse, and getting Tons of Followers for playing this kind of Aggressive Stereotype like ? Drag me, Farida, if I’m wrong, but I’m like 100% sure making South Asian muses aggressive is a no-no? Especially since you’re not South Asian but :/ you know! 
Also on how you just have an Indian FC, but you haven’t taken the damn time to add any, you know, Indian culture to your blog, but werk with the brownie points, girl scout!! And seriously boo, what’s the damn point of having a Bollywood FC if you’re just gonna lighten the face like! Colorism, much? Choosing the pale aesthetic over Indian culture much? 
But seriously, let’s talk about how Farida is a talented Indian roleplayer who’s playing a dark skin Indian muse who has Layers and Depth, and you’re getting gassed up for playing Amy Dunne with a Bindi. Like, really! Like feel free to just block me or whatever, but I’m kind of curious on how that happens. 1-800-HOW-DOES-THAT-HAPPEN?
So anyways if you wanna address your entitlement to PoC’s emotional labor or to Indian culture first, or maybe you wanna talk about how you’re playing a whitewashed Indian character? Like I don’t wanna attack you. I just wanna Make You Better and Build You Up, but you gotta help me, hon? Help me girl scout ! Help me!
this is really true theres too much tea i dont need to refill the pot…. i truly dont. i just hope people will ready this and realize and self-reflect and reflect the environment, because next thing you know poc tryna educate isnt good enough, again, even though trying to do it in a polite and sweet way causes the same defense from white people as when its done in a harsh way.
anyway i love jordan! i truly love them. my hoc (hero of color as they called it =)!! )

hey there !!  i’ve noticed that this post is about race , and being a poc / pakistani roleplayer , i feel like my voice contains some sort of validity. 

i’m just going to start by saying that a roleplayer’s popularity =/= a roleplayer’s race.  the fact that you’re insinuating that white privilege even exists in the nebulous , faceless void of the internet is kind of ???? stupid ????  for example , like i said before , i am pakistani , && don’t particularly publicize this on my blog as it’s not relevant to my writing at all.  i have enjoyed quite a bit of popularity on this site , without anyone ever minding my heritage.  it’s not like i told someone i was poc && they were like eeeeewwwww !!!!!! brown person !!!!!!!!!  blaming farida’s lack of popularity compared to eden rose on her race is kind of pathetic , && i actually am more offended by that since you’re saying that my culture pushes me back in roleplay.  that’s so false.

that brings us to eden rose , a white roleplayer who chose to portray her muse with an indian faceclaim.  friendly reminder that eden rose’s muse is , in fact , a legend of zelda oc , which doesn’t mean it has to directly correlate with south asian culture.  i’ve been following her for a while && she is actually quite mindful of my culture , as well as enthusiastic about raising the amount of poc faceclaims implemented in tumblr roleplay , so what’s wrong with that ?  she’s not fetishizing anything , nor appropriating.  she’s harmlessly learning more about a culture that she admires , && taking the initiation to icon bollywood movies ( which , i’d imagine , is quite tedious ) in order to have a poc fc.  it’d be different if she had a white alt fc , but she doesn’t. as for the ' aggressive south asian ' , i'm aggressive. i'm south asian. w h y would that be a no - no ??? there's a dearth of powerful women in that part of the world , so it'd be more provocative if she was submissive imo.

as for her icons being ‘ light skinned ‘ , that’s just a psd / lighting effect.  i roleplayed avatar korra for a while , && my icon style lightened her skin significantly.  does that mean i feel that she’s white , or would look more beautiful white ?  no.  it just means that in order for the icons to look the way i wanted them , with the colors agreeing with each other && looking nice with my theme / posts , her skin was lightened with the scheme. 

so stop trying to champion us.  i don’t find eden rose’s portrayal offensive , && saying that farida’s race is compromising her success as a roleplayer just seems like a weak excuse or an opening to start unnecessary drama.  keep your salt on your chips where it belongs , m8.
