so i played GRIS this month and since i am still highly obsessed with SU with no sign of stopping, i imagined a mash between these two things. i interpreted the game like building yourself back up from sth awful, and the shape and color language reminded me of Steven Universe, so i wanted to think about that a little in art form. not to mention the game is gorgeous and i wanted to try my hand at using that style for SU fanart. the style evolved little by little as i kept drawing these :3

Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say "Hey we want more than just our skin tone" they're suddenly deaf as shit.

Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hershey's bar and slapped it onto a person's skin tone.

The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.

And when they make a person Asian, it's Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, it's Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but you'll bet they're Native AMERICAN.

But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like "But but but look at all my black characters!!!!"

POC isn't just confined to America.

POC isn't just black.

POC isn't just Japanese.

POC isn't just Mexican.

POC isn't just Native American.

It's from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. It's from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. It's many cultures blending, it's speaking more than just English, it's dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.

It's more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isn't willing to show that.

Basically for the people who refuse to fucking read

Can you guys do some actual fucking research on anywhere other than whats at the borders of America before you slap a random ethnicity or race onto a character?

Btw: White people PLEASE reblog but do not clown on the post.

I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.

Since these are going around, I wanted to fill in some of the gaps! Here are seven more posters for communities under threat. As with the first set, these are completely free to download, print, share, repost, etc with no credit needed. This is open source activism.

I can never hope to cover every community, but in light of these difficult times, I wanted to make the additions above. Hopefully, you would be able to find the poster you need to respond to any type of violence in your community. These are especially meant for allies who want to state loudly that they are here to stand with vulnerable members of society. Remember: if you just say “everyone is welcome”, some secret bigot agreeing with you is marking an asterisk in their head beside a vulnerable group they hate. Be specific. Stand up. Resist.

If Jack Black doesn’t get an Oscar nom for this, it is proof that sf/action movies are being discriminated against, because he was FLAWLESS as a teenage girl, absolutely invisible behind his character, and that deserves massive recognition of his awesomeness. 

(I also appreciate the writing which had both girls calling each other out on perceived issues, and both girls acknowledging the fairness of those call-outs and subsequently valuing each other as equals and becoming buds. No girl-fights here, thank you.)

This movie was far more amazing than it should have been, and I’m pretty sure that was at least 90% because the cast was so fantastic.

Not once in the entire film did I forget Jack Black was a teenage girl. It was one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen and I still can’t believe I’m saying that about Jack Black in Jumanji II.

Is it tropey as hell? Yes.

Do they subvert some of the tropes some of the time? Heck yes.

Did they know they were going to be tropey as hell and made it the best possible versions of the tropes when they weren’t subverting them? Hell fucking yes.

“Oh wow are you writing a novel? Can I read it, please??” I figure Haru would be both very supportive and very eager to read TK’s novel, especially since it’s based off TK’s own Digital World adventures! I doubt TK would mind sharing at all, though maybe he wouldn’t appreciate someone reading over his shoulder. I just finished Appmon on Crunchyroll the other day and I’ve gotta say the second half of the show goes way harder than Digimon has in a long time, wouldn’t have guessed it from how doofy the first few episodes were. Try it out sometime!

Every time this goes around I forget what it’s gonna say and every time I lose it

I mean, I get how it’s funny to y'all, but, like, doesn’t that literally just mean “the end” in Swedish? You probably could’ve done this with just about any other movie that ends with “the end”.
