Bpdnanaseharuka - I Deleted But Remade

Scott doesn’t care about power. He cares about people.

One of the stupidest things ppl respond with is "instead of complaining about your character of color's lack of popularity why don't you make stuff for them instead?"

It’s a horribly shitty thing to say because I only got to the point of pointing out racism in fandom because I’d noticed it for years. I have spent YEARS in fandom. My contributions to this blog are from personal experience. I didn’t write mod R’s super popular post but that’s just because I’m not great at distilling my observations down like she is but I agree wholeheartedly.

I started out in white fandoms almost a decade ago because back then the shows I liked had been predominantly white. You know the type, they had a recurring character who was a WoC and several poc villains and I thought wow great representation! But I was young and dumb and hadn’t finished college yet. As time went on I noticed how my new fave Ugly Betty was still featuring a lot of abuse towards its woc lead. It relied heavily on the white savior trope weekly (Daniel would save the day with money for her family problems) Wilhelmina another woc was the villain (she ended up having a great arc but did they have to pit the woc against each other so much for so long?). I was afraid to join the fandom because occasionally there were problems with the show I couldn’t articulate. (Why did Betty only date white men? Why weren’t there more poc in the office? Why did it have to be called ugly betty in the first place?).

Eventually I became more involved in fandom and this process I’d gone through with Ugly Betty started repeating itself with different shows. I started noticing that stanning for my faves wasn’t easy because fandom was incredibly typical in its preferences. I started reading meta and noticing horrible patterns. I’d already been a feminist but being a feminist in fandom and seeing all the shitty ways fans belittled MoC reminded me of the shitty treatment my father gets just because he’s a brown immigrant. Seeing ppl constantly cry for equal rights and mysteriously only stan for white cis het men made me realize that intersectionality was missing in fandom.

White ppl forget that a poc growing up in the States don’t automatically get when something is racist. Because here colorblindness ideology keeps our own white friends treating us like tokens and using us as “proof” against their racism. So in fandom when all the love goes to white cis het males we’re expected to ignore the fact that our characters of color are not loved the same way (and instead are villified needlessly). Or when we talk about it you respond with things like, “well then make stuff for them” (maybe I did and fandom can’t wait to tear it apart because a PoC can’t possibly be “that awesome”) “my preferences don’t make me racist” (discounting whole races because you don’t think they’re beautiful IS RACIST) “I like villains they’re more interesting” (simple q & a: why are they all white villains who get complex stories? Your media is fucking racist).

To the ppl who feel the need to defend themselves as not racist: stop acting like you know a damn fucking thing about racism, if you’re white you will never truly understand.

13. The most epic scene ever

Tokyo Tower

Rin, battling himself, ascends Tokyo Tower, raining terror down on the innocents there. Tamura and Mikuro and Jinpachi and Haruhiko, pleading with him. Alice, finally, understanding everything, understanding that Shion and Mokuren truly loved each other, trying to thaw Shion’s frozen heart. And the revelation of the device Shion was working on in his madness… and Rin’s fall… and Mokuren’s final miracle… as she and Shion find each other and allow all children of Earth to go on with their own lives, not the lives they’ve lived through dreams…

and “thanks,” for saving my earth.

I can’t even talk about this, it would spoil too much. Just know… it’s the most epic scene ever.

Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal

I just wanted to draw the girls from ikuhara anime

Manga 30 Day challengeDay 02 - Your favorite manga

Please Save My Earth

No manga will ever match this in scope or in beauty of storytelling. The way it wove together two worlds, completely developed the moon world and its characters, made us care about not just past but present lives and drew distinctions between them – the way it made villainous characters sympathetic and sympathetic characters treacherous – the way it created science, religion and genetics around its ESP, instead of just having ESP for the sake of having it – and the way it lovingly wrapped its arms around plot points dropped 20 volumes ago and drew them forward into a perfectly parallel story arc, the way it made me catch my breath and realize all of this, all 21 volumes of it, must have been planned from the beginning – to this day it amazes me.

I was actually determined to translate/scanslate this manga before anyone “legit” got their hands on it, because there are certain lines spoken in Volumes 1 and 2 that could be translated multiple ways, and if you didn’t translate them correctly in Volume 1, when you got to Volume 21 and they were revisited, they wouldn’t make sense. Sadly, I only got through Volume 3… all the scanslations sit on my hard drive still, pages flipped and lovingly photoshopped (because this was before the days of the right-to-left English manga) to preserve as much of the original art as possible.

l tried to imagine and draw encounter scene of Terra and namine , from KH concert 2016 in japan.
