HEY LMK FANDOM

hi besties. First thing (this is relevant) I'm black. Good old African American yippee

Ok.

Let's talk about Chinese erasure.

LMK is a retelling/revisioning of a NUMBER of Chinese Mythologies. Most focused of being Journey to The West a story mostly focused around Sun Wukong.

Now. I have seen, so much fanart, fanworks, headcanons, character redesignes that change the characters from yellow legos (the legos actual colors NOT the fact they are Asian we're not doing that) to more realistic/human looking characters. And a lot of the time these include making these characters Black/Blasian.

Now first of all: I'm not talking about..i think its October? The October challenge to redraw characters as Black/African. I'm talking about art and work just year round.

Hey, first of all, I love that people are drawing more POC characters. But can you make these characters THE RIGHT FUCKING RACE?

The characters in LMK (Redson especially i see so much shit of him being black) are CHINESE they are CHINESE MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS/RETELLING OF SAID CHARACTERS. They are NOT black.

I love seeing the representation and people learning to draw POC characters but please please do it with characters who arent as culturally significant as those from LMK. There's most of the Steven Universe Characters, there's any white characters from media NOT based in mythology you can draw as black but please please please do not forget

LMK is in China.the characters are Chinese. Draw them as such. Learn to draw Chinese characters and hairstyles.

please 🙏 Chinese culture deserves the amount of respect and time your putting into ours

Edit: I am not saying drawing them with tan skin is bad. Chinese people can be tan. but if you give them fucking braids and cornrows aka: black protective hairstyles then your just erasing their ethnicity aka: FUCKING CHINESE.

also please reblog! Tumblr doesn't have an algorithm like other sites so if this spreads it has to spread through reblogging so please do

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

"homosexuality Is Unnatural! There's Only Two Genders! It's A Sin-"

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

EDIT: added a keep reading cause this is a long post lol

EDIT: everyone in the comments needs to shut up or I will turn comments off, stop arguing, jeez

Remembering a City Where the Smog Could Kill

With the future of the E.P.A. now in doubt, it’s worth recalling what New York City was like before the agency and the movement it represented.

Sorry I meant to say this is just a question but do you do yandere head cannons?

Yandere as a whole kinda rubs me the wrong way? At least the ones that are like really bad like yandere sim and yandere bf game style is too much for me cause it glorifies horrible things like a controlling partner as well as murder stalking and a few other things BUT if I write any yandere things it won't be anything farther than a protective partner who's scared of abandonment but not going anything past something that's just kinda cute.

Hope that makes sense lol, but I'd love any request not...toxic and stuff
