ive mentioned before my like. fascination and incomprehensible attachment to mysterious ambiguously brown man characters in schlocky fantasy romance media marketed towards women and a lot of it is from like, a like. nearly anthropological standpoint as someone heavily interested in orientalism in narrative media from a visual culture and art historical point of view and a part of it is also from being mixed race and ambiguous IRL LOL BUT there is one other angle i havent really touched on thats on my mind a lot. you know that bit we all go through where someone reads something like mediocre and it sticks in their mind more than something well written? the "I COULD FIX THISSSS" curse..... im like this with ambiguously brown characters. holds loosely (LOOSELY) south asian coded love interest from some romance comic #8997485344534984875943 tenderly in my hands..... my brother i know you weren't written with this depth but i know the truth. i know about your complexities as you navigate this fantasy europe as a racialized man. i know your truth

#sorry im reading another villainess manhwa. its pretty good - villainess's stationary store or whatever the full name is #like the kids are adorable the main character is hilarious and its a fun comic. the comedy in it in general is some of the best #ive seen in a long strip comic for a while especially with how they play with the format #the characters are all great. but i am. of course. specifically obsessed with isaac #main love interest who doesnt even show up meet up with the mc for the first third.... talk about a slow burn #but i love him he is a normal man with something slightly wrong with him. black coffee with a single blueberry shot type of guy #BUT also his design is pretty south asian coded which is a welcome surprise in general but like. you know me. sees one cartoon brown guy #south asian brother??? west asian friend? southest asian bestie??? north african pal?? maybe even carribean family?????#(in the tone of new shoes? are those puppies new?) brown king? brown king? is that a brown king?#SURPRISINGLY they did actually point out how like. much he stands out in the cast like once or twice #but you know ive already grabbed him and put way more layers on him than he actually has. like unconciously LOL #kids loving him vs societal views of him... his success as like the Biggest Wizard vs him as a very visible minority #only in my minds eye as i read. but thats okay. sometimes thats what happens when you read enough pulpy genre fiction as i do <3

I’ve come to notice that we can’t have a show/movie that doesn’t center whiteness in some way mainstream or not because white ppl can’t picture themselves in characters that aren’t white while that’s all we had to do

#this isn’t revolutionary #and it’s not a new thing I’ve noticed #but take for example there was a challenge on booktok to read books by bipoc authors they mid to less reviews #saying that it was good but ultimately I couldn’t connect with the mc and that’s a load of bull #because if you know you don’t have an imagination to put yourself in the mc’s shoes why take part in the challenge #like most dystopians ya books are things that have happened to a poc community that a white person is after of happening to them #like katniss was or at least was coded to be indigenous and it makes a lot of sense but ppl can’t wrap there head around it because her mom #and sister are light with light eyes who gonna tell them that indigenous ppl can be light with light eye #the hunger games is African American history ppl always say who would win or what would happen if we ever went into on but-#it already happened to African American ppl in America but nobody wants to talk abt #why do you think they do any other form of interracial relationship besides white and some other ethnicity #late night brainrot #I just had to get that out #my thoughts
