the male character is always darker than female characters even if they're both white
even when they're anthropomorphic animals or fantastic creatures. like the guy could be blue but the girl will be a lighter blue
here's some examples
and like this leaks into real life. I have two dogs. my female dog is dark gray and white and my male dog is blonde and they always think my male dog is a girl
I'm not saying couples like that don't and can't exist but it's so prevalent in character design where dark features = masculine and light features = feminine and its blegh for obvious reasons
idk which asian-am creative needs to hear this but representation should never be at the cost of other marginalized groups, especially black women
if your goal is to align yourself w whiteness and u want to scramble to get as close to it as possible that isn't empowering
some people only fight the fight to spite and "gotcha" oppressors rather than for the love of the marginalized groups they fight for and its glaringly obvious in some cases
I love when people use the piece of media as a character's last name
like "alistair dragon age"
he has a last name but I like that his last name is also dragon age
AND HE GIVES YOU A COIN THAT HIS BROTHER WHO HE HASNT SEEN SINCE HE WAS 13 GAVE TO HIM FOR GOOD LUCK. CULLEN BARELY HAS ANY PERSONAL POSSESSIONS AND THIS ONE CARRIES SO MUCH MEANING FOR HIM BUT HE GIVES IT TO YOU BECAYSE HE CARES FOR YOU SO MUCH
me: trust the process. a piece will have an ugly stage! it's not supposed to look good from the beginning
me when my initial sketch doesn't look good immediately:
idk who needs to hear this but gr*g ell*s may have done a great job portraying cullen in DAI but his voice is not that special and there's literally no shortage of other voices that can do cullen justice lmao
anyway I can't believe cullen has no VA...wild
I love that English people are so snooty about American actors doing English accents, but English actors can only ever do New York or Southern accents and never a baseline American accent
I think it would be better if we didn't give gr*g ell*s any attention. he sucks no doubt but publicly talking about the bullshit he's doing is giving him what he wants
i have 50000 ideas of what immy wears to the winter palace but this one is one of my favorites, a pink filipiniana w/ hibiscus embroidery <3
