the current trend of "tumblr users embarrassing themselves by proudly announcing why they don't listen to any music made by black people" is really astounding.

i cannot help but think this is a direct result of liberal White Guilt and how people have interpreted "anti-racism" as form of cultural self-segregation - the kind of person who thinks trying to cook chicken curry is cultural appropriation, or sends white people anon hate for wearing a kimono (yes, this kind of discourse happened). like, "oh, no, i could never participate in this culture, i'd get my evil white hands all over it! it would be more Progressive if I only did White things."

if you're a poc you've seen this, i'm sure - this deer-in-the-headlights stare you can get from white people when you play music / show art / share a story / anything that is Racially Coded, this total refusal to actually engage with it out of fear that it is in some way Wrong for them to have any opinion on it. because they read somewhere that it's bad to use AAVE but the only lesson they actually learned from that is "gotcha, white people are not allowed to interact with other cultures as punishment for my White Crimes. this helps to fill up the gaping pit of my white guilt and makes me one of the Good People." this transforms their discomfort around non-white cultures (black culture, especially, i should add) into a kind of virtue

anyway if you are white and reading this. go listen to some fucking haliu mergia. ethiopian jazz. will knock your dick right off. go listen to rap or reggae or bollywood and have a genuine reaction to it - like, an actual, from-the-heart reaction. you are allowed to not like some of it. but you will definitely like at least a little. yes, you can compare it to lemon demon (or whatever) if that helps you get into it and that's your only point of reference. maybe don't say that part out loud. but don't, like, separate yourself from it, like you are seeing it in a museum and the only polite thing to do is go "ahh, huh, very interesting, so much culture here."

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all? 😊

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

so many lol, they're my sparkledog oc, i just keep adding things to them 😂 they rly like body mods in an unconscious/unexamined bodily autonomy way, im thinking abt redesigning their tattoos since they've changed a lot as a character since i made them tho

#i think the beholder is eternal tho #i was initially like #i like the idea of a neck tattoo so i'll use it and just redesign it as something else later but i got attached to how silly it looks #they got it in a moment of poor decision making pre-cult and spend the rest of their semi-immortal life convincing themself it's cool #nox #my ocs #talkin

For Nox! Motion, Stillness, and Texture

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

supremely in control of their body - perfect coordination, preternatural reflexes, uncannily quick - from years of experience and their nature as essentially a god-crafted weapon - but orin's attack and their subsequent treatment take a huge toll on their physicality that they don't even come close to fully recovering from in-game

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

extremely fidgety and restless, always moving in some way - touching things, playing w some object in their hands, tapping their fingers, popping joints, the Leg Jiggle. i like the canonical trait of dark urge having unconscious tics as well which iirc are mostly described as twitching. never fully 'at rest' unless unconscious

#leave them w nothing to do near sm locked and it will become unlocked. tell them not to touch sm and u know it's getting touched #these are my fav two of the questions!! #thank you for asking abt my babygirl my rotten soldier etc #texture answered in another ask #nox #my ocs #talkin

[ruushes]

texture for a character of your choosing? ❤️

texture: Does your OC favor any specific kinds of cloth or textures? Is there anything they can't wear or don't like? What sort of fabrics do they prefer?

they prefer tight-fitting clothing for the appearance and the feeling of compression, but need full range of motion as well - they like a very flexible leather. their favorite though is clothing they've stolen from people they like regardless of material/texture
