Passing (2021) and Get Out (2017) are best viewed as a double feature
no matter which movie you watch first, you should be able to see them as two sides of the same coin, i.e.
nonwhite people have to pass as white to survive (Passing)
white people pretend to be nonwhite for their own amusement (Get Out)

So I was kind of feeling like, "ugh I'm so unfocused, I picked a movie an hour ago and have just been dicking around since then, ugh". However...in a wild attempt to be fair to myself, I did spend most of the day being very focused on my studio work, apart from the intermittent breaks to download *checks notes* 52 movies from my PlayOn account. But that was during my needed walking around for my stupid back and joints breaks, so. I suppose I can excuse some unintentional dicking around time.
Anyway, I actually thought ahead thanks to the whole "one theme week per month" goal, and had a list ready? So this week is Black Cinema!
Passing (2021)
Ooh, this is so pretty, the stylish black and white, the set pieces, the costumes, the hats, Tessa Thompson.

Ahem. I know what other brushes LO uses ;)
(Forewarning: most of these brushes are from early LO and as such aren't used anymore. I will put an * next to the recent brushes Rachel uses.)

Hope that helps!
listen here my dear sweet anon
first of all, there is no forewarning needed here that these are mostly from early LO, early LO is what I'm dying to recapture so you already struck gold and you can stop digging (or don't, because holy shit finding this in my inbox was like christmas for puff round 2)
second, i hope you're happy choosing this timeline where you're my new bestie because goddamn this is COMPREHENSIVE
and third (and most importantly) how in the flying FUCK did you know about some of these
like it's clear at this point rachel uses a lot of the kyle webster brushes, i kinda figured that out ages ago and it was just a matter of figuring out which ones she uses which you've done me the solid of putting together for me
but the ghibli background set?? the brushes that are exclusive to the newest episodes ??
either you've just become the champion of being the most hyperfixated on old LO orrrrr you know something we don't and there's a reason you're using the anon tag-

Y’all remember the “Junior Wheeler if he was 9 years old during Chucky season 1” AU that I made?
Well, I reread the oneshot that I wrote for that this morning and I suddenly really missed the AU…so how would y’all feel if I wrote more of it?
If you guys want that, here’s the thing…I don’t have too much ideas. I have a few but not a lot. So while this isn’t technically a “Request something and I’ll 100% write it” thing, but if you have some ideas, pls tell me and I may write it.
So yeah, lemme know pls :)

To be fair, (and this isnt an excuse more an admonishment of the problem) even this official book art is whitewashed
yeah i know, this was years ago but iirc sanderson didnt say anything about kaladin in the wor cover cause he felt embarrassed giving notes to whelan. honestly to me this is indicative of white people (even when writing diverse characters) not understanding the gravity of those choices and who they will affect. i dont think that fantasy as a genre is where representation goes to live or die but frankly it would be nice to see people give a shit. as for the text i honestly cant blame some fanartists for white girl shallan when her physical description carefully skirts around any mention of any racialized features (alethi monolids are conveyed by szeth's eyes being described as big and weird as a contrast to the norm. this isnt effective) however if youre on tumblr you know. like you know. no one has shut up about it, myself included, for years so unless you joined the site literally yesterday you know about shallan. and you can tell when an artist hasnt made the effort.
now i dont think this is a good enough excuse in 2023: the official art has gotten better over the years, especially with those figurines they put out and the row cover, but honestly this whole business has always come with a lack of care from both sanderson and his fans. to me it speaks to the bigger problem of white fantasy authors/fans who can only contextualize oppression when its fictionalized and therefore not that big of a deal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
