Please reblog if you have strong emotions about Cassandra Cain and/or Jason Todd, and have things of value to say about comics
I am always sad that cass doesnt have any chinese role models to look up to. her last name will always be white—whether it be of the father who only loved her as a weapon or of her new family, still primarily a very old-money, very white house
there is no way for her to truly reconnect or even reclaim her mother’s chinese name because it was rejected even by the woman in question; it represented a life that had died alongside her sister, cass’ aunt that she’ll never get to know (or even at the very least know of).
it does speak to a version of reality children of the diaspora has seen again and again—asian children with white names, with white foster families, “saved” from their asian relatives. it’s not exactly played like this in canon but the situation we are left with is the same: the wise white father (bruce) and the volatile and dangerous chinese dragon-lady mother. and we can talk about how david cain is more humanized by the narrative than wu san is but that’s a whole other can of worms. but I do grapple with it, because of the implication that white paternalism is always the solution, that we can’t take care of our own.
the bottom line is, I wish cass had a chinese name. I wish cass had chinese ppl she could look to and connect with

okay so I might be writing a character study on ambrosius specifically about how the model minority myth affects him in that world bUT THAT MEANS NOTHING IF AO3 ISN'T BACK BY THE TIME I FINISH IT 😭
i think that portraying tim drake as east asian can be harmful because of the stereotyping and fulfillment of the model minority myth.
i would advise against it if you're not east asian, and advise east asians to do so carefully if at all.
Death of the Endless meets the Dead Robins Club
spider-sona design!!
she's based off the pinkbloom tarantula (that's where the pink to purple gradient comes from)
not my spider-sona but a silkcat oc! spider-sona to follow when I finish it lol
this is lace weaver, aka christina hardy-moon! she's a clone with dna from cindy moon and felicia hardy and is an operative of the secretive atlas foundation. when not in costume, she's a senior at empire state university, majoring in photography!
she has spider-powers like organic webbing, proportional enhanced strength, agility, and speed, and a very sensitive spider-sense (but lacking wall-crawling), and she also has the ability to inflict bad luck on those around her. she's about to get her shit rocked

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023
I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.
