i’ve noticed an influx of new fans, so i thought i’d put together a list of resources on fandom racism and racism within the writing of kotlc, as well as accounts who talk about it regularly :)

from @cogaytes:

fandom woobification of tam song

the song twins & keepblr characterization

tam song’s outfits and stereotypes

from @soryasongsaa:

on tam song in fandom and the submissive/effeminate asian stereotype

on linh song and the china doll/fragile asian girl stereotype

tam song, gender, and western bias

the weird stereotypes of the song twins (this is technically a joint post with @cogaytes but i wanted to get both of their reblogs on this matter)

an analysis on the official art of the song family

other users:

fandom treatment of characters of color (from @toxtt)

why do people headcanon white characters as poc? (from @bookwyrminspiration) (note: while this does reference old discourse from 2023, it’s also the best explanation i could find.)

@shangri-la-rights has compiled a lot of excellent posts on racism within the writing of the series itself, although xe hasn’t been active in quite some time.

these resources are meant to educate new users, so if i missed any posts or accounts, feel free to add on in the notes :)

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

wylie is so funny.. imagine your life kind of sucks (dead mom, exiled dad, kidnapped, etc.) and then the government forces you to be coworkers with a bunch of teenagers and led by the one that your dad went to mega jail for. i think that would be my last straw.

kotlc book 10 thought

So I was reading this kotlc post about how Shannon created too many villains. And that got me thinking… what was the point of killing Vespera? Maybe to get rid of a villain. But let’s think. What did Vespera accomplish during her life? She’s well known for helping create the illusions that surround the lost cities. What are the illusions protecting the lost cities from? The humans. What is a major problem in the lost cities? Humans have no idea about the lost cities, are messing up the world, and the lost cities don’t have room to expand because of human expansion. Not criticizing humans here, this is just the lost cities view. What I think would be cool if happened in book ten is that: Upon Vespera’s death, the illusions surrounding the lost cities collapse, and humans are exposed to the elven world.

#wait this is so good #i would be so happy if this was true #kotlc
