“Laying down my past, I scream: This is not the end of me! Fight it like an enemy Time to bury it or me.” — NEONI, “Origin”

so ya girl decided to attempt something Far beyond her skill level and do a Wanda in the style of League of Legends splash art!! y'know, the seriously kickass stuff that looks like this that whole teams of trained professionals work on for weeks:

meanwhile, I'm a self-taught artist who had never even Attempted a digital painting before this, so like. this is Not on that level, but I'm still glad I tried!! it was really interesting having to think in forms rather than lines much earlier in the process than I usually do (since this thing is pretty much lineless), and I think I learned a lot. I actually tried to pay attention to the composition with this one, and I think it turned out good in that respect!!

once again, shoutout to @jookpubstock for saving me from having to figure out the hands and the perspective entirely on my own!!

Wanda Maximoff has been leaked for the Marvel's Avengers game, the one starring Kamala Khan. I have no idea if they've cast an actress yet but I think the Scarlet Witch community should push for a Romani actress to lend her voice and likeness to the character.

It may also be a good time to reach out to actresses such as Alina Serban, Franciska Farkas, Mihaela Dragan, Alba Flores, and Simonida Selimovic to make them aware that there is a chance for representation.

It may not fix the MCU mistakes. In fact, it won't change the MCU at all, but imagine a Romani actress actually being cast as Wanda in a popular video game. Imagine finally having the Scarlet Witch we deserve in popular media, portrayed the way she deserves. The way the fans who Wanda represents deserve.

I don't have instagram or twitter anymore, but I think it's very important to reach out and campaign for this.

Every possible version of Wanda should be Roma. Do not let them cast another white actress.

The game is Marvel's Avengers, its made by Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. Specifically, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Square Enix Europe, Nixxes Software BV, Crystal Northwest.

Please. If you care, now is the time to make change.

Showcasing my favorite Wanda Maximoff fancasts!

Gratiela Brancusi

Franciska Farkas

Alba Flores

Bianca Mihai

They are all Roma and unproblematic unlike Mihaela. In case some people still don’t know, Mihaela wore box braids and compared racist Wanda stans to the KKK. She is also a radical feminist. I have heard people say she is transphobic too but I couldn’t find anything about it.

//for @firejugglinghobo - Wanda Maximoff// //tw for being stabbed with metal//

"I'm fine, I'm fine-" Wanda rasped, flinging a scrap of metal away as she slumped against the wall, "Nothing bad..."

The color drained from her face at the shard of metal in her stomach, making Wanda feel sick.

Stupid witch.

"It's okay--"

Hi. Can you explain how Medalion Rahimi can work as Wanda Maximoff? I read the tags and I am very curious about Mizhari Jews and Romani people. I don't know if I understand correctly.

hi! so first and foremost, i am open to criticism and correction on this absolutely as i am not rroma nor am i jewish, but basically comics!wanda is mixed jewish/rroma, her parents met in a concentration camp. mcu retconned her parenthood but also white and christianwashed her lol? (cross in her room during ca:cw and also elizabeth olsen being straight up. northern european)

anyway, so rroma people are a nomadic people group who are ethnically related to north indians but have been nomadic for several centuries now and have a distinct culture from north india. i initially used alba flores as wanda, because she is spanish-romani, and then continued to use aaron taylor-johnson for pietro because he's jewish and there aren't, to my knowledge, any romani-jewish faceclaims. so in that sense, i was able to represent both facets of the maximoffs' identities.

there's nothing wrong with alba flores, she just has limited material for me to pull from. i'm considering switching to medalion rahimi because she's mizrahi jewish, which refers to jewish people who are southwest asian (also "middle eastern" but that term to me is geographically nonsensical so i don't use it lol), north african, and also, oftentimes, central asian.

so the majority of romani people live in europe, but there's a large population of romani people that live in central asia as well, largely in former parts of the soviet union. my pitch for why medalion works is because she's jewish and belongs to a group of jewish people who overlap significantly with the ethnic origins of romani people, but also because her father is iranian-russian, and both of those places are home to a significant diasporic population of romani people. also, indo-persian synthesis means that there's a significant amount of cultural and migratory exchange between the two countries.

she's not perfect, but i thinks she's an improvement on elizabeth olsen, and just personally more accessible to me given the lack of material available for alba.

Why did you recast Rachel berry and blacknwidow and scarlet witch

A very good question!!

RACHEL BERRY (RECAST AS ARIELA BARER) - I have recast Lea Michele for being a racist and abusive towards her coworkers, specifically Samantha Ware, and continuing to bring up Cory Monteith's death even though his own mother publicly asked her to stop.

NATASHA ROMANOFF A.K.A. BLACK WIDOW (RECAST AS ANNET MAHENDRU) - I have recast Scarlett Johansson for accepting roles as both a transgender woman and a Japanese woman while being a white, cisgender woman, and for supporting Woody Allen, who is a child predator.

WANDA MAXIMOFF A.K.A. SCARLET WITCH (RECAST AS ALBA FLORES) - I have recast Elizabeth Olsen because Wanda is canonically Romani and Jewish in the comics, and Elizabeth Olsen is neither of these; she also has used a slur against Romani people multiple times, even after being informed that it was a slur. (I also recast Pietro Maximoff for the same reason; while Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Jewish, he is not Romani.)

WELCOME TO AVENGEDHQ, RAIN. there’s something different about WANDA MAXIMOFF (alba flores)! things aren’t the same as they used to be around here, so remember one thing: your fate is in your hands. please make your way to the checklist and send through your account within 24 hours!

good to see you, WANDA MAXIMOFF / SCARLET WITCH. you are 30 years old, your pronouns are SHE/HER, and you look just like ALBA FLORES. you’ve come from MARVEL with SOME of your memories intact, but even now we can recognize you by a flash of scarlet in the dark, a never-ending well of loneliness that continues to grow & standing in a barren field in the middle of the night screaming your lungs out to no one and nothing. by day you are an N/A, and by night you’re affiliated with THE AVENGERS. welcome back to new york. we missed you.

“They say looks can kill, and I might try.” — Taylor Swift, “Vigilante Shit”

an outfit for my beloved Wanda if she ends up going to the 2024 Hellfire Gala (if there is one at all tbh)!! I wasn't personally a fan of her 2023 look, so I decided to try my hand at designing a look of my own despite knowing jack shit about fashion. design breakdown, inspiration photos, and just general rambling under the cut :)

main inspo:

top row: left by REEM ACRA, right by unknown

middle row: sketches by Kevin Wada

bottom row: garments by Zita Moldovan (website)

--

hehe, this is the part where I ramble about my design process!! I will confess, it took me four full sketches before I finally managed to purge the "high fantasy fairy queen dress" brainrot from my mind and arrive at a concept that actually felt like Wanda. given that as of her 2023 solo run, she's a self-employed business owner, a twist on a suit felt appropriate!! it's elegant, it's dramatic, it's sexy, it's powerful, and it's also a garment that, like, real people could wear?? which, I know this is a comic book and she also has magic, but, like. girl deserves a fit that's also reasonably comfortable. girl deserves pockets (I didn't showcase them, but the pants absolutely have humongous magic pockets.) talking fabric, I will confess that I really don't know much, but I picture the red fabric being pretty thick silk and the black fabric possibly being velvet? the shoes are beaded pretty much all over with the same crystal material as the crown.

as I continued to refine my concept, I looked to Kevin Wada's 2015 redesign for Wanda's last solo run for more inspiration. that's how I arrived at concepts such as the use of beaded accessories, floral embroidery, and especially the plunging neckline. I also knew I wanted to pay homage to Wanda's heritage without being stereotypical, so I decided to look to Zita Moldovan, a Romani designer whose site is linked above, to see how she incorporated her culture into her work. (as an aside, there's this other dress from her Romany Dreams collection that I would LOVE to draw Wanda in at some point, but that was not this project. maybe soon.) the dress I included in my (very, very trimmed down) inspo board was my primary reference as I drew the pattern for the pant part of the pantsuit. (I attempted multiple versions where the pattern was in color, but it wound up looking really muddy, so I opted for the slightly more subtle version you see here.) the pose for the final piece doesn't showcase the epaulette well (or the crown pin, which was another reference to the Kevin Wada design), so here's a bonus sketch that came out of the "design" part of this whole project that shows them both better:

anyone who has followed my art knows that I generally draw my Wanda with a high ponytail, but I decided to spice things up and draw her with a half-up like she has circa Uncanny Avengers #27 (this is when she and Jericho are being so very sweet together). the golden hoop earrings are another thing I carried over from my general Wanda design, and the makeup is just a quick thing I came up with on the fly. it's not the spiciest, I know, but I decided there was enough going on elsewhere that she didn't need a crazy makeup look as well. the full-finger ring is specifically a reference to her very first appearance in X-Men #4, where she calls upon her power by pointing her right index finger. I thought it would be cool to accentuate that finger as a result!!

and there you have it--a tribute to Kevin Wada and Zita Moldovan from an artist who knows nothing about fashion but does have severe enough blorbo brainrot to attempt to design an outfit regardless :D

"some white nobody" wow ur gross as fuck, check ur racism elsewhere.

Hi! I’m just gonna preface this with I’m actually white because you strike me as the type of person who might take my response slightly more seriously knowing that :)

I am going to admit wrongdoing in calling Elizabeth Olsen a ‘nobody’ just because I had never heard of her before seeing her as Wanda Maximoff. However, I don’t think I am wrong in any other capacity. Elizabeth Olsen is white. She is playing a Romani character. This is known as “whitewashing,” in which a white person is cast as in a non-white role, and is far more racist than anything I may have commented, particularly on a post commenting about someone who would have been much more fitting to play that role. I hope you understand where I’m coming from and check yourself next time you accuse someone who’s calling out racists of racism 💜
