#KhadijhaRedThunder is a #mixed American model-turned-actress making her acting debut in 2019 with the #Wattpad film After, & in the 2020 sequel, After We Collided.

Born & raised in Spokane, Washington, Khadijha boasts a diverse heritage, including #NativeAmerican (#Chippewa #Cree) #Black & #Spanish ancestry. As a teen, she moved to Seattle where she started modeling. Many might assume that Thunder is a stage name, but its actually her real last name.

Shes known for her curls, but she didnt always have them. Her hair was straight growing up & only became curly after she cut it shorter at 13. Since then, her hair has grown curlier each year. “I try everything, but I would never permanently change my curls. They are my life. I love them.” And would you, if you finally had something you been dreaming of since childhood?

"I grew up around #NativeAmericans. My mom was the only one who was Black, she was the only one with curls. Seeing my mom with her curls played such a big part in how I perceive hair. Just how a parent, in general, affects everything. She never complained about her hair being curly; she was always embracing it. She was just so beautiful & carried herself so elegantly. I dont know—seeing a woman so strong, beautiful & natural, to me, shes just an amazing entity, this phenomenon. Straightening her hair was a rarity. She taught me from a young age that it was damaging to apply heat to your hair. I wasnt allowed to use heating tools. She just really showed me the best route was to be your natural curly self."

"Compared to my other friends who are mixed who grew up with two different cultures & only saw beautiful women on tv with straight hair, it totally affects & hinders their outlook on having curly hair. It would be seen as “wild” or “sexy”—they sexualize curly hair. It wasnt elegant. But seeing my mom being so elegant & ladylike with curly hair, feeling like she was embracing her true self, Ive always liked that. Shes always taught me that."

Her first modeling gig was with Nordstrom & she has since collaborated with DKNY, Marc Jacobs & Puma. 🏴🇺🇸🇪🇸🪶

Man colonialism is krazy

Say “I’m half filipino” and nobody bats an eye

Say “I’m half Japanese”

AND SOCIETY GOES WILDDDD

Society 💀💀🗣🗣‼️‼️

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

Pure bred dogs r awesome and great but truly nothing makes me happier than someone going to the shelter and getting the most pathetic generic mutt they can find and loving that dog like it is a 10,000$ national show champion

Anthro Au Survivor drafts feat. too much worldbuilding because I cant just put pants on a slugcat like a normal person & my godawful handwriting

The Survivor (Their full, scavenger-given name includes the 'The') was separated from their family while traveling between colonies and stranded in the dangerous unpopulated wilds. Against all odds they managed to survive (and wander) far longer than they should have been able, but rather than reconnecting with their (or another) slugcat family, they instead made contact with one of the many wandering scavenger troops- But unfortunately not one that had ever met a slugcat nor had any idea what to make of a stranded one. Regardless the group gave it their best, ended up committing to the role of slugparents, and The Survivor and their troop still consider themselves close family long after Survivor finally reconnected with their sibling. (They're a bit of a mess though, understandably)

ok but the amount of people hating on mixed ppl bc of kendrick’s diss like— my brother in christ you are MISSING THE POINT. he’s not hating on drake for being mixed he’s hating on drake for being so insecure about being biracial that he overcompensates and does weird shit like collect hip hop heirlooms and pretend that he’s a gangster rapper just so he can ”appear more black” while still appealing to his white audience

thinking about mizu from blue eye samurai. thinking. thinking so much. thinking about how mizu operates outside of gender. like we joke about her gender being revenge but straight up? it literally is. like she grew up as a boy and is most comfortable being a man, but behind that is the feeling of betraying himself because he isn't being honest about who he is and he lives in fear of being discovered. and when he lived as a woman, she found joy there as well. she fell in love, and though she wasn't good at it, she liked being a wife and enjoying a simple life. but in that life too, she isn't being honest about who she is. and when she reveals her true self, it's not a woman, she's a demon, a weapon. she's to masculine to be a woman, and too feminine to be a man. ultimately, mizu is most comfortable when they are being a murder machine. that's when they feel they are being the most true to themself. like a sword, they are neither man nor woman, but a blend of both, which makes them stronger.

I’m mixed raced and will only ever be seen or assumed to be white no I don’t know what to make of that anymore

I was a 1995 International Players Ball "Pimp of the Year." Show me some motherfucking respect!

messing around with a more retro style batman design bc my parents are both DELIGHTED to see the retrobat in any context and their enthusiasm is contagious... this is a real thing my dad said about the 60s show

My turn to be skk-posting

in my ideal vision, when they finally get in something resembling a relationship (as adults, they were Not There as teenagers), it's because they both want it, which means they unlock previously forbidden features with each other like sharing a bed instead of a couch (you all know about my weird obsession with skk and couches), but also freely touching.

Dazai is a rather tactile person; my guy is freed after 2 weeks in prison and the first thing he does is dance, poke at, lean/hug and play with the hair of the first non-evil person (a stranger) he meets. Being with Chuuya, he constantly finds himself in Chuuya's bubble, and indulges in ways he usually can't with others. That often means direct skin contact, not even with ulterior motives, but really just because he is allowed and he wants to.

Chuuya on the other hand has never done something gently ever: he is fierce, he cares and loves intensely, and he never lets go, but he barely knows the concept of a reassuring gesture (working on it). Dazai being in his bubble wouldn't bother him at all by that point, but the handsy part? it's awkward. needs some getting used to. It's a learning opportunity.

And when Chuuya gets used to it and finally makes a move to return the favour? it's Dazai who short-circuits.

Artblock be like:

A+ for effort, he's trying.

HC: Mask just has never tried this before. The most experience he's had with drawing was helping carve the tree with Skull Kid and drawing stick figures in the mud with a stick pfpfpf
