hey!! i’m just here to say thanks to everyone who came forward with kind words towards me during the latest events. it’s nice to be reminded that not everyone here is unreasonable.

so long story short, i’m probably gonna be taking a break from steph for little while and then probably will be rebooting this blog again. idk yet, we’ll see.

anyway, if you want to keep in contact, im your disc.ord so i we can keep in touch for now~!!

look, as a woman of color myself, i know what racism is. i know how it feels. i’m mexican. i’m not white. i’m not even white passing. in fact, my siblings are both waaay lighter than i am. growing up i didn’t pay too much attention to the racism around because i was a kid and the community i live in is fairly acceptant. my parents protected me from that to a certain point. but living so close to the u.s. as i do, those things eventually catch up with you. i’ve been called names because of my skin color, i’ve had assumptions made about me or my family, i was even denied entry to a private school. however, i never let any of that affect me or define me. i know what dealing with racism is. but in the end i’ve always known that none of that matters as long as i strived to be a good person and never put that bad energy back into the world.

why am i sharing this story with you now, you might say. because i want you guys, my followers, my friends, the people i care about, to know where i come from. some of you -- the ones i’m closest to -- might already know part of this, some of you might not. it’s not like i spend a ton of time sharing about me here. after all, this is not a personal blog.

this is roleplay, this is a game. while i do enjoy going into some deep themes with my writing, i know better than to expect that issues of racism and colorism are going to get solved in a place like this. i try to see the good in people, but i’m not that gullible. i’m not here to advocate for gigi to be the face of steph forever and ever, i just think she’s pretty. i try not to get too hung up on what other face claims other people use either. it’s none of my business.

now, if you had come to saying that using gigi made you uncomfortable, i would have been glad to talk about it. i’m not an unreasonable bitch. no one came to me in all these years. literally no one. not even after the first message, which tags were taken out of context. i like to laugh, i like to make jokes out of literally everything. but i know when to get serious. if you had come to, jokes aside, and discussed this, then i would have been open to have this conversation.

but if you’re going to slander me, if you’re going to call me names, and not even bother knowing where i’m coming from, then sit in your high horse and look me down? well, then i’m going to have a problem with you. and yes, i am going to talk about it with my friends, the people who have bothered to get to know me.

now, if you excuse, i have other things to do.
