Actually writing down project stuff and trying very hard but not being brave at all about the fact I'm having to genuinely look at the reader and explain fantasy racism and the colonizer horse people. This all feels very stupid I am not going to lie

#mort.txt #not helped by the fact maro is explicitly this universes version of African / Polynesian and she is also a blue transgender amphibian #like in universe she speaks the equivalent of patois but im leaving it out bc i don't trust people to see a black coded character #speak “broken and ineloquent” English (from peekish's perspective) without being weird about it.#i am going to be real as the world has moved on i struggle to want to be a writer and have people read them bc. ppl are getting so stupid #im aware this is a “classical artist pointing and laughing bc i won't learn to draw feet bc what if it looks like a fetish” ass problem #it feels very unrewarding. writing down rough topics like colonization and its lasting affects through the lens of animal ppl #to an audience who watches preschooler cartoons at 35 bc they do not want to think. it feels pointless it feels humiliating
