#maybe its just my interpretation

Hi!! You're free to ignore this if it doesn't interest you ofc but I wanted to talk a bit about the "Aventurine racism" thing. It's mostly people not reading things right and misinterpreting things (as always.)
Aventurine is said to be Sigonian, a race known for being untrustworthy. Now, "Sigonian" is not a reference to any real place or community, in any language. It's entirely made up and exists only within the honkai universe. The reason people started speculating that he is Romani is because he calls himself "Avgin", which the game translates as "honey", and "Avgin" is indeed the romani word for "honey". This, of course, doesn't prove he's Romani or based on any Romani culture at all, but people took it and ran with it.
Ratio called him "Sigonian thrall" and, since Romani people have suffered a lot with slavery, people started freaking out. The thing is, Aventurine is a slave, but it has nothing to do with any Romani inspiration or traits he might have. Aventurine is a slave because he works for the IPC, and a good majority of IPC workers are enslaved to the IPC. He's not even the first character to be shown to have a branding mark. Topaz, who I didn't see anyone complaining about, is also enslaved to the IPC and has the same marking on her neck.
It should also be noted that although both Sparkle and Ratio were racist towards Aventurine, the "race" being discriminated against is entirely fictional and not meant to represent any real ethnicity or culture. We should keep in mind that the story is set in a magical universe, and we have nearly no information on Sigonians or Sigonia-IV.
Personally - and this is just my own theory/interpretation - I don't think Ratio was being racist at all. Judging by how the IPC operates, Sigonia-IV has most likely been destroyed or suffered a great disaster, so his claim of Aventurine being a "Sigonian thrall" could've been just a mention to how he has nowhere to run from the IPC, since his home world is gone. Also, Sparkle is just mean, and not really a trustworthy source of information - her comment on Sigonians being notoriously untrustworthy could be her own personal opinion rather than fact (of course, we don't have enough information on this to claim that it's just her opinion, nor that it isn't.).
Sorry for the long ask! I also have more to say about the possibility of Aventurine being romani if it interests you, based on him being a Su expy.
thanks for explaining this further, i dont really have anything add to it other that i share your interpretation there but i think its interesting for the others to see as well (this entire topic is tiring me out but mostly bc of some ppl taking it to extremes or making stuff up to prove their points. thanks for taking the time to write and explain all this!!)

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world
#im talking about griffith btw#guts i feel i get intuitively - maybe because i have some personality traits in common with him#and we get more about his life concretely told to us in canon. so he is a bit easier to pin down as a character and feel attached to for me#but whenever i was reading the manga i just kept wanting more insight about griffith's actions and feelings#like ok yeah its fun to have mysterious antagonists and suspense /tension etc but its also fun to feel like you deeply understand them too#and i felt like that was a bit missing from him for me in canon#so reading about him in analysis and fics is the most fun for me rn#he always felt kinda half unreal to me- which maybe was the point of him - but i wanted a bit more about his childhood or something?#and wished we had more stuff explicitly from his pov in the story to read or explanation about his transformation or wtv#and now he's so much more closed off to me even than he was in the golden age. i keep waiting for him to explain stuff and he does not#ANYWAYS all this rambling to say some people out there are very good at interpreting him and making his like. insecurities#more obvious to me bc i didnt really get that side of him from canon intuitively well#also im really enjoying reading the first few berserk fics ive read#there may not be a ton of them out there but there is def writing talent in the fandom#i'll share some recs once i'm done sifting through most of what's out there to read#also (not to tie everything back to death note but it IS my home fandom after all)#i feel griffith is obvs the more light-like character here and L maybe a bit guts-like? but unlike berserk in death note#light is the one you get to know best and L is the mysterious / unreal one you don't get a lot of concrete insight into#and in the DN fandom I can read the more mysterious character intuitively but had to warm up to the less mysterious one instead#and the mystery of L makes sense to me and doesnt bug me as much due to like - he HAS to hide a lot about himself or else he will die lol#so some similarities there but also some opposite feels as well#berserk spoilers#p

Made an mlb au when i haven't even watched the full show and only certain episodes and some of the specials . very non-sensical with many loosely connected thoughts rn
Text for marinette:
Crochets/Sews/Thrifts
Rather quiet/shy until interest is mentioned
So clumsy/unlucky that she over prepares/plans everything
when plans fail, stressed out and becomes more controlling as a result
insecure over relationships with people
Text for felix:
likes reading sappy romance novels (wants to be suave biker boy so bad but it's just his type not his inspo)
Chat noir is free reign weird girl era
thing that bites
super curious as chat noir
too curious.

As someone who supports Batkids' rights and wrongs, it's still wild seeing people getting surprised that Jason has indeed committed *murder*
Not once. Not twice. But a *shit* load of murder
Makes you wonder how they'd react to finding out the amount of murder the rest of the Batkids have committed O_o
It's wild to me bc that's the reason there is conflict between Bruce and Jason- Jason thinks murder is okay and Bruce very much does not so I'm wondering how people could miss that

i wanna post my skip to loafer art but i cant do it knowing ppl are gonna put it on tiktok and pinterest bc itd be like. bringing an invasive species ykwim
#my meds just kicked in so im feeling talkative but truly idk how to explain it#its like. with anything else id be more than happy to introduce it to ppl like monkie kid and mp100. witch hat maybe but its personal to me#but skip to loafer is special to me. and i feel bad for saying this bc other ppl do deserve to watch smth they will enjoy#hell the reason i got into it was bc my friend was kind enough to lend me her copy and i got hooked#its so ironic im saying this esp given how insecure i am abt depicting characters wrong. but i really dont want to look thru the tags#and see them on a 'can i copy your homework' tier list. or ppl getting mad abt why egashira mitsumi and shima cant just be a throuple#its just!! i wont stop you if thats how you like to engage with the show or how you interpret it bc ill just ignore it and leave u alone!!#and theres no objective wrong way of doing it!! and i know that interacting with the work is what forms a community after all!!#but keeping it tight knit is just easier for me bc nobody has to worry abt making each other laugh and we can enjoy it for what it is#fully aware im saying this as someone whos drawn monkie kid art with text post memes and owl house draw the squad templates#but at the same time i just. dont want to explain myself or give ppl reasons why shima and mitsumi are ace coded just bc it 'feels right'#fandom is a communal thing and it feels so hypocritical thinking this. too many conflictng thoughts that idk what to act on#yapping

Hey so I know you’re interested in them, but do you have any headcanons? If so, I’d love to hear them! 💙💛
Hi! I have a lot that I think are also slowly showing through my dailies but here's some to share:
Stan fell first, he probably had some interest from day one, but had no idea he did. It's complicated. Gary has a huge mental barrier against romance for himself. He wouldn't start entertaining even the thought of it until years pass, but he eventually grows so interested in Stan it scares him.
Neither forgot about each other, it was a kinda nasty fall out. Stan wants to forget and tries to ignore it ever happened, but it's something he thinks about on a sleepless night when thoughts about the past rise up and their lost friendship is amongst them. As for Gary he was his first friend in town, it just really stuck with him in a way that kept him cautious with all future new friendships.
Gary starts off as the more openly affectionate one as it just comes with his personality and beliefs. It's not meant to be special treatment or romantic, but it means so much to Stan that he feels like it is. It's such a different treatment that it slowly gets to Stan more and more and he begins to realize he has a crush which kills him so badly inside.
I can see Gary's family being more on the traditional side wanting to find joy in what the world offers. This means they don't really use digital technology much. Stan finds himself very frustrated with how perfect Gary feels until realizing he isn't that good with social media or playing video games. He especially enjoys the latter and likes winning against him a lot.
As Gary lives in South Park for longer, he starts to crack. He'll have less patience as more nonsense happens and being friends with Stan gets him dragged into things more often. He'll start swearing more and even saying the lord's name in vain if he's pissed enough. He will always feel horribly guilty after these slip ups. Stan reassures him saying it's fine and that they all do it. He secretly enjoys seeing Gary express negative feelings as it used to be something almost impossible to ever witness.
Personal little headcanon: I see Stan as bi and Gary as gay. To me it makes sense! I also like how it makes the religious guilt for Gary even worse, very good angst material.

My personal headcanon is that Splint is Albert's older sister, but only Splint knew.
Splint left and became a Newsie a little when he was only two, and knew deep down that she recognised the name and bright red hair when she first saw the little kid selling with Jack Kelly on his first day as a Newsie.
Meanwhile, Albert's been under the influence he's been an only child all his life as he has zero recollection of his sister, and their parents certainly won't bring it up.
But despite him never knowing the truth, the two were always extremely close, always having a laugh and goofing off together whenever Manhattan and Brooklyn had to work together.
Albert wasn't entirely sure why, but he couldn't seem to stop crying when he got word of Splints death.

It's so funny that my brain wanted to think of scenarios of Beta Wally and Dandy but instead of designing and writing a Beta Dandy, I made up a whole au in my head to come up with a complicated ass reason as to how they would be able to meet and interact.
It's just a stupid little not at all canon thing I daydream and doodle about. But anyways that is to say if I do post doodles of them interacting, it's very much just that silly stupid au and the brain worms from it.
