Hey look they darkened Sera's skin. NOW can we cease the dumb Viv hates pocs thing? It's clear she doesn't if she's willing to darken Sera's skin to fit Patina Miller. Or does it not count because she doesn't have a round nose or curly hair?

I have never seen a person in the critical community say that. Whether Viv hates POCs or not, we don’t know but it still doesn’t excuse her problematic treatment of her POCs characters, that other POCs like myself and others have called out and criticized her for.

I will only going over Viv’s problematic designs for her POCs characters because other people have made multiple posts about the other problems with Viv’s writing of them. Viv darkening Sera is below the bare minimum for a good POC design. She had a gray skin tone which made it impossible to tell she was supposed to be a POC. Heck even with them darkening her skin is problematic because it’s colorist, Sera and other dark skinned/dark gray POC characters are villains while the good POC characters have a lighter skin tone/light gray tone.

Why is so common for Viv to design black and brown character with gray skin with no POC features? It’s an issue because people can’t tell they’re supposed to be POC and it’s bad rep because of it. Don’t believe me? Here are links to three different twitter posts, two are from black people. The posts are about the original posters being shocked, the characters above were POC and the comments are filled of other POCs and people in general being shocked and upset they were supposed to be POCs.

It’s upsetting because not only are we getting these terrible POCs designs where the characters don’t look like any actual POCs but Viv knows how to draw these skin tones and hair textures.

Look at this wolf character with an Afro or the music video above Viv animated. The music video follows a black girl who is the singer and throughout the video we see a variety characters with a range of different skin tones and hair textures. So she can draw POCs features but doesn’t want to try and even if she couldn’t, that isn’t an excuse.

Viv’s attempt at making Sera look more of a POC doesn’t count because she should have alway look like a POC from the start and it doesn’t erased the harm Viv caused by writing POC as awful stereotypes and spreading misinformation about closed marginalized religions because she refuses to do her research.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot #also like. #it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony #EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

This is just me, but I was never bothered by Vaggie's name. Mainly because I never saw it as a reference to the female genitalia, but as a reference to the word "vagabond," meaning a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.

I do understand why people are bothered by her name though.

Now this would have make Vicky’s name awesome if it was supposed to reference to that but it isn’t unfortunately.

I’m decided I’m going to call her Vicky now because I’m done with Viv’s childish humor.

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon

#his drawings were so cute too and they had titles like ‘silent warrior’ ‘voice of the people’ ect waaaa im so #excited for this class #he also promised to wear a mask and asked us to do the same my mannnn #double shot

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.
