I use any pronouns including neos if you want, just call me whatever and try to make it clear it's me. I'm here, I post stuff and reblog things, and I have no clue what I'm doing
insulting your own work (art or writing or whatever) super openly, especially directly on your work is also insulting everyone who sees and enjoys it. you're essentially calling them a liar or telling them that they have shit taste.
i think abt this a lot (and it helped me stop being an asshole abt my own writing), but i'm especially bitter when it's people who have commission stuff all over. like. you say your stuff is worth buying, but you're calling it awful? do you see what you're saying?
i know it's not always that simple to realize, but still. ghghgh.
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 :)
when a character is written inconsistently because nobody thought about it that hard and you're like it's time for me to get in there.. and think about it that hard
i think as far as the dsmp goes, you either die the villain or live long enough to see yourself become part of the ever-growing list of queer minecraft youtubers
there’s a new potent drug called “the bed” out on the streets. just one hit of the damn thing and you’re passed out cold, tucked in, multiple blankies, honking and shooing for hours. scary stuff.
