#lego dreamzzz nova

[coolgirl33]

Ok can i be completely honest right now? This fandom has a huge issue. A huge whitewashing issue.

Now before you say: "Oh but legos dont have races! Thats why theyre yellow!!" You dont only need skin color to imply a characters ethnic background. You can also do that with the characters other features like hair, eyes, lips or even stuff like their name. And thats exactly what dreamzzz does.

The most common characters i see whitewashed are Zoey and Logan. I absolutely NEVER see Zoey drawn black, even tho 1. She has twists (which some people draw them as just a side shave) and 2. Her last name is Okoro, indicating she could be igbo.

As with Logan it goes a bit deeper than that. As the issue takes two forms: 1. When its him being drawn white and 2. When its him being drawn asian, but extremely pale.

First, him being drawn white is obviously an issue because he is canonically asian. His last name is Chan (a surname with chinese origin), he is voiced by Vincent Tong and he is designed to look visibly asian.

(And before anyone says its eyeliner i found another character with the exact same eye print)

People often draw him slightly tan with eurocentric features and call him asian. Who the fuck are you deceiving.

Now with the pale issue: this is also an issue i see around in the ninjago fandom. East asian characters liked by the fandom are drawn to appeal to the beauty standards while the ones hated by the fandom are drawn like actual east asian people. Altough Logan is the only east asian character in the show that we currently know of, this does apply to him. And him being pale wouldnt even make sense! He is a soccer and baseball player! That kid plays in the sun for hours!

And Logan isnt even the only asian character that constantly gets whitewashed. Take a look at fanart of Nova! If i didnt tell you, you probaly wouldnt even know shes south asian! In her insomniac club shorts its revealed her last name is Patel, an indian surname btw, yet i dont see ANYONE give a fuck cause i only see white Nova everywhere.

And yes! Mateo and Izzy are also victims of this aswell! Mateo's locs are never drawn right and i see people draw him like 1 shade darker than the others and call him black 😭. Izzie is white washed aswell and sometimes, only her and NOT MATEO?? HUH??? They are siblings 😭😭

Anyways, the moment the fandom actually learns how to depict the characters, we will finally be free.

So if Nova has trouble sleeping now because of the repeated nightmares... shouldn't they be telling her not to help them? For her sake? Even if she so badly wants to help(be apart of) the dream chaser team?? I mean- doesn't it mean that they're keeping her up at night?? Mr. Oz! You're supposed to be a teacher??

Nova Patel: I have everyone’s numbers

Nova Patel: underscore 

Nova Patel: … 

Nova Patel: why is your name Beau underscore?? 

Beau_: wouldn’t you like to know tech girl 

Nova Patel: rude 

Nova Patel has changed username to “Tech Queen”.  

Beau_: … very subtle 

Tech Queen: :P 

Tech Queen has changed username of Beau_ to “Bothersome”. 

Bothersome: no

Bothersome: give me the perms damn you 

Tech Queen: you don’t even have Discord how do you know that term 

Tech Queen has made Bothersome admin. 

Bothersome has changed username to “Shadow Hunter” 

Tech Queen: that’s so ass 

Tech Queen: Why 

Never Witch: why does my phone keep making noises

Tech Queen: oh hey you made it! Hello *waves* 

Shadow Hunter: why is she here? 

Never Witch: what is happening 

Never Witch: why are there people in my phone

Tech Queen: well ok, long story short The Insomniac asked me to make a group chat to keep track of every body. You don’t know me but I’m Nova and @ Shadow Hunter is, well, good old Night Hunter 

Shadow Hunter: ugh 

Never Witch: oh 

Never Witch: hello Beau 

Shadow Hunter: … hi 

Shadow Hunter: anyways why isnt "you know who" here too???

Nova: do you really want to interact with him? 

Shadow Hunter: … no 

Tech Queen: that’s what I thought

The Insomniac: yes even i can admit he has his panties in a bit of a twist 

Shadow Hunter: *squints* since when do you have a phone??? 

The Insomniac: I’m old not tech inept Hunter 

The Insomniac: i did build my way back into the dream world 

Never Witch: and this is?? 

Tech Queen: new villain… or old? Idk they’re back for round two 

The Insomniac: I am indeed 

Never Witch: i see 

Never Witch: wait, were you not the one who attacked Castle Nocturnia that had the little red dream chaser coming running to me for help 

Shadow Hunter: ew, Racer Boy 

The Insomniac: yes, yes I am the one who attacked Castle Nocturnia. I would have won to if not for aforementioned Racer Boy but in the end it set me up perfectly to steal Dream Keeper Mateo’s powers 

Tech Queen: cue evil laugh 

Shadow Hunter: oh my god i can hear them-

Tech Queen: right??? 

Never Witch: you 

Never Witch: stole his powers

Tech Queen: exclamation mark, question mark 

The Insomniac: yes, yes i did 

Never Witch: what 

Tech Queen: you forgot punctuation

Tech Queen: these things: !? 

Shadow Hunter: she probably doesn’t even know how to access that part of the keyboard 

Never Witch: i’m just going to ignore you both 

Never Witch: going back to this new villain

The Insomniac: ollo :D 

Never Witch: you stole the boy’s powers

Never Witch: how did you manage to do so  

The Insomniac: oh just some subtle manipulation, helped that Royce separated the poor boy from his friends and the blob thing. Handed his powers over like a charm ✨

Never Witch: fascinating

Shadow Hunter: they used the fucking sparkles emoji

Shadow Hunter: that’s it i’m leaving 

Shadow Hunter: goodbye 

Shadow Hunter has left “Dummies in Villainy”. 

Tech Queen: HAAA
