#tw: colorism

[albinotanuki]

I have a feeling that if Disney DID go with the original concept of having the Star from “Wish” have a human form and being Asha’s “soulmate”, people would accuse Disney of colorism for pairing a seemingly white boy with an already light-skinned black girl. Just saying Disney is no stranger to controversy like this.

TW: For mention of the whitewashing in past cards

Whichever artist did this art I love you and I am kissing you on the forehead rn

Like whoever they hired to do this card art, please let them keep doing it and stop letting whoever did the Kingly Garb and Kalim Tsum card TOUCH THEM. (OR AT LEAST SOMEONE TEACH THEM I BEG)

I literally picked colors from the new card to edit the KG card and like 😭

What you said about colorism is ALL true!! I know SOME (not all) light skins OR people with pale skin, feel that when colorism is brought up it's a personal attack. This is coming from a brown skin girl who is usually refer to as light skin.

that’s where the disconnect comes from when colorism is brought up some think it’s a personal attack and it isn’t. dark skinned women (and people) are literally just pointing out that hey it’s a system built against us due to our complexion. we’re paid less, we’re denied jobs, we’re bullied from elementary school all the way up to adulthood, we get harsher jail sentences, etc. we literally couldn’t even get into some of the divine 9 fraternities and sororities (yes some were doing the paper bag test). like it’s so much deeper than dating preference and twitter jokes (get ptsd war flashbacks of twitter incels comparing dark skinned women vaginas to roast beef and burnt paper). i just wish people would just listen to us in the topic instead of invalidating how we feel

There's no other creature in this world...

That disgusts me as much as RACIST Whitexicans and their culo lickers [other RACIST Mexicans] do. [Add to this list RACIST WHITINOS as well. Fucking hell, another breed I wish would just fuck off.]

... If there is something that is the biggest pet peeve in my life it's those people. Like... Please! Shut the fuck up already and get therapy if you're able to. If not then... I don't fucking know. Your mom needs to throw a chancla at your stupid face. But then again, I think they may be as Racist if not more than you already are, and are the ones that taught you that shit.

My fucking goodness. *shudders*

How do you fucking live your life being so damn ignorant all the damn time? HOW!? Like... Just how the fuck do you sit there and think 'YeAh, aLL mY thOUghTs aNd oPiNiOnS ArE TrUe. I'm sO pRouD oF hOw I sOuNd tO oTHeRs. aNd HoW hOw wHAt I sAy dOEsN't aFFecT oThErS [it does... it actually does, unfortunately.].'

..... *blinks too hard* ... You're out of your fucking mind. I honestly at this point don't know whether to feel sorry for you, or continue to be disgusted by your ignorance.

... just ... wow. [in a fucked up way].

Inside me are two wolves - one wants to play Baldur’s Gate and the other wants to draw Baldur’s Gate.

do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.

You were Lestat's, now you're Armand's. I've been a third all my life. Not saying that to fight, just saying that it's true. I feel like I get to pick one thing for myself, and it's her. A weird white lady I met by happenstance.

HANA YAGI 'Sanguine Bride' Collection 2024 if you want to support this blog consider donating to:ko-fi.com/fashionrunways This collection was created by reconstructing wedding dresses and white kimono that had been rented out at wedding halls and then discarded due to damage. In Japan, there is a story that one of the reasons why wedding dresses are white is to express a woman’s purity and innocence and her intention to be dyed by the family she marries into. The dresses were deconstructed, reconnected and dyed with the intention of challenging the patriarchal norms of the wedding ritual. Once dead, the wedding dresses are reincarnated, brought back to life by letting blood flow through them.

So when are we going to normalize not seeing 'PuRiTy' as a white skinned individual? .... [I'm looking at you, specific art toy creator from China, working right now as a POPMART artist.]
