PSA

I’m going to call this a PSA mostly because idk what else to call it and it’s not really directly about David, but anyway...

I fully support roleplayers using whatever faceclaims they want for Marvel characters. I effectively have two for David, but I’d also love to see some more digging than the MCU does into the racial/ethnic/religious/gender identity/sexual orientation backgrounds of those characters whether you use the MCU casting .

The character that comes to mind first is Marc Spector/The Moon Knight System. I fall for the Oscar Isaac thirst trap every time. He is a beautiful man. He’s also Latino. He’s also not Jewish, but he was cast and as such is “official.” The MCU show implied he was Latino (by casting everyone else in his family as Latine) while also being Jewish, but never dealt with the implications of that. Was his dad still a rabbi? Were they converts? What did that mean for his childhood? For his dad’s childhood? For his mother’s post-Randall struggles? Anything? 

Let’s do all the things. 

If you choose to not go by the MCU and cast a Jewish actor who is not Latino, beautiful. I’m here for all the Marc/David interactions with or without MCU connections - not least of all because besides my fever dream of a Disney+ show where my David is MCU compliant, he isn’t. He’s not even really XMCU compliant by default. RIP the non-Disney+ Marvel TV days. I personally chose to retcon Noah Hawley’s major misstep (imo) of saying Gabrielle Haller was Romani. Not because I wouldn’t love to see what that would mean for Gabrielle and David, but because it was a superficial mention and not something made intrinsic to the character.

I strongly support color-conscious choices in storytellings, and this extends to sexual orientation and gender as well. The choice of race and ethnic background should always have an implication on the storytelling. For the best version of that please see the 2022 Interview with the Vampire series. I was a huge skeptic initially, but they won me over by making sure the casting was reflected in the storytelling.

TL:DR - I like seeing variety in face claims, but please have that impact your storytelling whether going with an “official” FC or making your own choice! Who cares about canon at the end of the day, but the choices you make about how your character looks, what religion they practice, and where their family comes from should impact the story you tell. Also, I’m very worried that the MCU is about to repeat some Moon Knight missteps with the casting of Reed Richards...

Heartbreaking: “problematic” danmei everyone told you to avoid is actually pretty decent and has mildly interesting things to say about poverty and class

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

how to write vent post title that does not come off as self-pitying and or accusatory (because it's NOT !)

[gobstoppr]

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

[marshmellowtea]

another year of progress! since my birthday is right before the new year, i always associate my personal growth with my previous age. i think i’m happy with how I grew as a 20-year-old...more than just improving my anatomy and style, i’m learning to be more comfortable existing outside of my own head. i like looking at other people’s art summaries, so i thought i’d post mine (even if i’m pretty fucking embarrassed to look at my old pieces.......lol)

in 2023, i want to do more environments, get more comfortable with painting different body types, post my writing, and feel less awkward talking about myself. along with my academic and career goals of course :P

here’s to the new year! 🎉
