I just realized I can make any character I want dagestani/afghan like I can just project my own culture onto a character and nobody can stop me

#brb gotta design charlie emily rq #not art #listen every character i like is so american its tiring ok #its very fun to both make ocs or build off of preexisting characters w/ little background and give them backgrounds from outside of america #saying this because im working on a cassidy design and shes vietnamese in my au #and its so refreshing #like as someone who grew up in america with a single parent and only experienced their culture when visiting extended family #its just. nice #anyways catch me writing ab characters who have huge extended families that constantly asks then about learning farsi/russian #when i say huge btw i mean one of my parent's extended families LITERALLY makes up their ENTIRE neighbourhood in the country they live in #sorry i wanted to make a silly post and then i got really homesick that was unintended #im just thinking about the experience that is growing up in america and having to hide your cultures/traditions from americans #bc my name is already weird (in their eyes :/) and i didnt want to feel like an outsider growing up #... man #Man. #MAN. #hey anyone else have a similar childhood experience?
