i’ve noticed an influx of new fans, so i thought i’d put together a list of resources on fandom racism and racism within the writing of kotlc, as well as accounts who talk about it regularly :)

from @cogaytes:

fandom woobification of tam song

the song twins & keepblr characterization

tam song’s outfits and stereotypes

from @soryasongsaa:

on tam song in fandom and the submissive/effeminate asian stereotype

on linh song and the china doll/fragile asian girl stereotype

tam song, gender, and western bias

the weird stereotypes of the song twins (this is technically a joint post with @cogaytes but i wanted to get both of their reblogs on this matter)

an analysis on the official art of the song family

other users:

fandom treatment of characters of color (from @toxtt)

why do people headcanon white characters as poc? (from @bookwyrminspiration) (note: while this does reference old discourse from 2023, it’s also the best explanation i could find.)

@shangri-la-rights has compiled a lot of excellent posts on racism within the writing of the series itself, although xe hasn’t been active in quite some time.

these resources are meant to educate new users, so if i missed any posts or accounts, feel free to add on in the notes :)

#holes/evren mention on the dash in 2024... #gosh yeah though i still think this was one of the most solid posts i think anything ppl try to cover #can often be related back to This Post. it is a good post #anyway thank u ash for the tags and such!! very cool

on my hands and knees begging keepblr to put more thought into tam's clothing than just. things you would see a kpop idol wear. like every moodboard i see of him has the shirts with the first button undone and the multiple silver rings on each hand and i just. c'mon.

i would get it if i saw it applied more to other characters who canonically wear a lot of rings (sophie/fitz with the cognate rings + panic switches), probably accessorize a lot based on their character (biana), or might like something to fidget with (dex). but to see it with just tam, who is one of the few characters who hasn't been mentioned to wear rings in canon, makes it feel like those ideas came from...somewhere else.

#like let's be real tam would sport the socks and slip on sandals if he knew abt them #kotlc discourse

design flow, if anyone’s curious. this took me about a day with breaks in between, although i didn’t spend that much time actually drawing it.

AHAHA THANK YOU!!!you are also one of the coolest tumblr mutuals ik i SWEAR i have been thinking abt commenting on ur fic for so long but still not done it but motivation to read messages is i DID yell about your fic in some of them bdjfks. LOVE YOU and i hope your life troubles also quit it. let me at 'em i may not know how to fight but i got fists. sending you jasmine tea and the best cookies on earth (homemade double tree cookies obviously) thank youuu <333

#ink gets asks!! #aru tag #also i keep remembering that we literally got married on nov 5th and being like ohghhhh... we were so iconic for that.. #like we REALLY WERE. regretful it is not november yet but eternally listening to your roadtrip playlist #bc it's literally just under 24hrs and i always restart it <3

[soryasongsaa]

DAMN IT FIN I FEEL VERY ONE UPPED. EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL OVER THIS MAN. like what the fuck this is so perfect and gold colored and warm and beautiful and it somehow captures all of the things that we are and want to do even if they're not even in there. im literally crying there are literally tears streaming down my face i CAN'T PULL WORDS TOGETHER. here like. when harrowhark nonagesimus said "i cannot conceive of a world without you" that's me. because if you HADN'T scrolled through my oc tag for an hour i genuinely can't imagine what the shape of my life would be. and when andrew garfield said "i wish i knew you when you were ten" (i know i'm butchering the quote i FORGOT THE OTHER GUYS NAME) because i wish i could have known you sooner because even when we were dumb little kids i wish we could have gotten to love each other for longer. life is too short and love is too long etc etc.

man i am head in hands. you are so precious and dear to me and you've given me so much that like, sure i could have learned for myself, or from other people, but you're the part that makes it special to me in this life where you got to be the one to match me pace for pace in all of the love and pain and heartbreak and exhaustion and every single stop in our roadtrip. thank you for being one of the best friends that i could ever have asked for and also simultaneously that one scene in lilo and stitch where lilo's like "God can you send me a friend??? like maybe an angel!!!" and stitch rises from like an explosion laughing maniacally. that as us but we are both at the same time

@soryasongsaa HEY!!! ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!! (IGNORE THAT I AM. AN HOUR AND A HALF LATE) dude i. god i've been waiting for this since my birthday and look, it's not a song it definitely cant one up a whole fucking song (you win. THIS TIME) but in the end this was the best way i could convey all of the love i have for you man. you are, fuckin you are my best friend and i am forever grateful that you responded to my dm after spending an hour and a half scrolling through your oc tag. im forever grateful that i have you, when it's a late night and i need to scream about everything awful ever, and i am forever grateful i have you to binge watch clone wars with, make stupid jokes like verdi the wiener dog and reminisce on spicy gatorade and change your header with me. i could write a whole essay on all the things i love about you, and about our friendship, and how much you mean to me bc i dont care if you beat me to it by putting it into a song but you truely mean so much to me. throughout the worst couple years youve been there and one day i'll give you an actual letter for your birthday because i know you love those but until then- heres this :]

Originally, this was going to have little doodles of all the stuff we talked about doing on our roadtrip. because fuck everything, we are going on that roadtrip if it kills me, because that stupid joke has gotten me through so much. but in my head, this is our discord chatbox that we keep collapsing in recently, but its sort of a, whatever fucking happens, whatever bullshit we both have to go through to get there: this is our 3 years and something month long joke and it means that even if i have to pull back the sun to not get to the end we will get to it and we will be here.

Anyways, i love you, and nonroad thingy in the middle is under the cut <3

#i love you SO deeply #i'm like. keeping this forever i'm so serious #i am going to somehow make this my desktop background. im going to make it fit #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #GOSH DANG IT. ATTACKING ME WHEN I AM SLEEP DEPRIVED AND I CANNOT DO THE WORDS #I LOVE YOU. SO MUCH

back in your inbox for more htn posting. i’m SO attached to ortus the ninth he is literally everything to me. also the bone marrow soup is hilarious to me and even though the lyctors didn’t appreciate the drama of trying to kill ortus the first at the dining table. i do. also the oddly homoerotic amputation scene is really funny because harrow is like “unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused . flourishing.” and ianthe is literally getting her arm cut off

UR SO REAL FOR THAT ortus the ninth was not my favorite but he WAS incredibly entertaining and THE BONE MARROW SOUP... dude i was rereading gtn the other day and found a reference to that at some point when they're still on the ninth and gideon's training. or like?? foreshadowing??? gideon says so what if i like don't follow your orders and harrow's like what if i like mixed bone meal into your breakfast and punched a hole through your guts. etc etc. and LMFAO YEAH gosh that is one of my favorite scenes though bc the imagery is so funky

#PLUS all the fanart that has blessed my eyes since?? incredible honestly 10000/10 #ink gets asks!! #arson-anarchy-death

KHMER IN MY LINGUISTICS WORK REAL AND TRUE????

Note! Definition of a sexywoman:

According to the sexywomanpedia, a sexywoman is "a character who shows the 'lanky suitman villain' tropes, is popular with wlw, and/or is highly divisive." Some factors to consider are morality (or lack thereof), overall mysteriousness, and strength (physical or abilitywise.)

Propaganda:

Esha Aria: "shes sooo funny guys. she fucked with the system to get some dick and almost got away with it. she chose that dick over her daughter. she may be exiled but at least she has her man. morals and consequences mean nothing!!!" @camelspit

Lesedi Chebota: None

Want to submit propaganda? Do so here and it will be added in the 2nd round!
