You're so cute when you cheer us on... I love you, my Julietta!

my final Blacktober piece for 2023 is Aizo and Yujiro, the idol duo LIP×LIP from the Honeyworks music videos, and the anime Heroines Run The Show!

The images were inspired by the music video for "Romeo", my fave LIP×LIP song~

Snow White🍎 Racebend🤎

Just a fun edit✍ to see what Snow White🍏 might look like with an alternative design✨

I was inspired to do this because growing up I always assumed Snow White🎀 was Latina, mostly due to her brown eyes and black hair. Technically having darker skin contradicts the whole “Snow White'' name, but I kind of don’t care. I really love💘 how she looks with a darker complexion!

Let Fiction Stay as Fiction:

This is part 2 of my previous journal "Raceswapping/Colorswapping".

I will continue to defend this stuff and I'll keep repeating it as much as I like. (I re-wrote the part about conservatives and liberals in this 2nd journal. I meant "some", not "all".)

Fiction is fiction. Artists are free to give characters any skin tone they want. As long as they're not trolling/harassing people while doing so, or claiming that they "fixed the character's skin tone", then it's completely fine. Ignore it if you don't like it. (Also, people irl are free to cosplay whatever character they want too). Stop telling innocent artists that "this character has the wrong skin tone" or "umm this is racist, but nice art tho" in their comments. People can raceswap/colorswap characters without being racist/colorist. Characters are recognized by their outfits & hairstyles. Not by skin tone.

I even let people color my ocs (Oakley and Viko) however they want:

I can still tell they're supposed to be my ocs because of the outfits & hairstyles I made for them. Choosing skin tones, hair colors, & eye colors is easy. Coming up with outfits & hairstyles takes time because I want the oc to be recognizable.

We can change our clothes & hair in real life but not the skin tone we were born with. In fiction however, there's no limits. If you think some artists are racist/colorist over a drawing then oh well. Some artists simply like to express their love for different cultures through fiction (including me). Just block them and don't harass/write back-handed compliments on their art.

It's time for people, especially *some adult conservatives and liberals, to start focusing on racism & violence happening right now in real life.

If you see people trolling/harassing people with raceswapped/colorswapped fan art, or claiming they "fixed the character's skin tone, they look better now", then they're the racist ones. Block them and move on. Don't give them or their art any more attention. If you comment something like "this character has the wrong skin tone" or "umm this is racist, but nice art tho" then you're the one being racist because you're seeing skin tone as an issue. Skin tone is not an issue. Let fiction stay fiction.

In response to how Hollywood race-bent April O’Neal... Take a good look at Dr. Baxter Stockman, who is an ORIGINAL CANONICALLY black character in the TMNT lore...

Baxter is a deep, fleshed out, relatable and iconic character not just in TMNT lore, but in general. If you want TMNT to have a black character, your wish was granted before you even thought of it. He’s right there! Heck, you could even reimagined him to have a redemption arc! I mean, why not?

And this, friends, is why race or “any” bending bugs me. It’s because great characters of the group you mean to represent get forgotten in favour of riding on the tail of success of established white Christian straight (usually) male ones.

I say, nuts to that. Baxter is not only a worthy enough black character. He’s a worthy character PERIOD. And so are the others.

Say NO to bending and YES to showcasing the existing.

Say NO to race bending April. Say YES to including “Badass” Stockman.

Say NO to any-bending. Say YES to giving the existing minority characters the spotlight at long last. They waited long enough.

PS: I am well aware of the debate over April having been originally conceptualized to be black. As someone who was there when she first came out, let me put the rumour to rest please... That fact is only semi-right. April O’Neal was named after one of the creator’s then beloved who was partially black, but her race was originally up in the air and leaned more towards being Japanese. She was like what Mr. Smithers in the Simpsons was when it first started; a character that was still in the process of being built. In other words, the original concept of April was... everything and nothing. However, once the creators figured her out, the definitive version of her is white with red hair. And as for that hairdo she originally had when she was still in the works...

It was the 80s. Back in the day, ALL women did their hair like that. Even my mom, who is white, did her hair like that. It was the style. I hope this clears things up.

PS part 2: Because it was brought up, I am well aware that Rise did the race swap first and had the audacity to include Baxter yet dumb him down. However, Rise in my opinion was not a good show and wrote everyone badly and offensively. Also, it was short lived for being so foolish. Me putting my foot down now is because this is a huge “strike three and now, you’re out”. Mutant Mayhem has the potential to be good, but it has specific glaring problems. Rise was an idea that just didn’t pan out. It was not worth taking offense over because it disrespected every character equally. April’s race swap there was just one of many. In way, that was Rise’s objective. To be silly, but it took it too far to the point where the show wasn’t even offensive. Just childish. I get that I don’t speak for everyone, but that was how I interpreted Rise. It was a parody that came and went.

First of all, this does NOT mean that I plan on having Roxy included in my version of Winx Club because I have zero intention of that. However, I thought I would do a redesign of her just for the fun of it. I decided to racebend her because we have enough white girls from the Winx Club. Plus, I thought showing some Native American/Indigenous representation would be nice. I did change her color from green to yellow because of the fact that I already had green as Tecna's color in my version of Winx Club. Also, yellow just looks amazing on her. For her Magic Winx form, I did have her black hair turn into her signature purple-pink hair color because magic. For her body type, I decided to go for a more scrawny body that lacks curves because of how I hadn't done that with any of my Winx Club redesigns yet. Plus, it just really suits her. For her civilian look, I wanted to give her a more individual style to help her stand out from the others because her original look wasn't very distinct. It looked like something that Bloom or Layla would wear, which was one of the ways that kept her from being her own character. I went with a preppy look, while also having her tie being loose to show her carefree nature. Not to mention a lot of animal paw-prints in her outfit because she's the fairy of animals. Plus, I just had to have her hair in a ponytail because it just helped make the design even better. I hope you guys like it and comment letting me know what you think.

If you start discourse for the sake of discourse on this post I will block you as I am tired of people, but honestly since I only log onto social media every 4-6 months at this point for the sake of not being bored I figure that I can just throw this into the void and never look at my notes for this particular post. It’s just going to get ignored like all of my other posts anyway. Speaking as someone who’s a fan of racebending characters into more than one race, I find it a little disheartening that the only character racebends that ever get attention of any kind in fandoms are Xrace - black. Not to shame anybody, of course, seeing as I’m not white [living in a majority white country] and my first response to any and all internet beef will always be “please just go outside and talk to people in your own community for once, or read a book or do literally anything other than fight with random strangers halfway across the world’; but especially when white people reblog those redesigns it feels a little...performative, almost. Like some people’s only way to show support to black people, though specifically black Americans, is to mass reblog art in a half-assed kind of way.

Not sure how much this post makes sense and it does hurt to breathe let alone try to form coherent sentences right now because hooray for being disabled. Also no I’m not talking about The Little Mermaid 22-23[?] edition or The Batman or anything officially published, just fanworks.

Esta es la que menos me gusta, así que la dejé de último. No pensaba hacerle el pelo largo, pero creo que fue una buena decisión.

Tal vez los rasgos asiáticos en sus ojos no se noten por que los tiene cerrados, pero sí los edité. Además, traté de hacer su piel un poco más pálida y pinté su rostro con el clásico maquillaje chino.

Difuminé todo el line-art para que encajara bien con la imagen y no se notara tanto la diferencia con las líneas originales.

..................... Y aquí acabamos con la serie de princesas racebent. Me gustaría hacer una segunda parte con las princesas 3D, pero ya veremos, mis habilidades en photoshop están más o menos xd.

Ayo it’s James Potter!!!

I don’t get to draw this guy a lot but I need to work on my muscular bodies, so here’s the quidditch jock himself needing some free time from his shirt.

Abbs are a lot harder to draw than you think…

Genderbend and racebend art is fine (except whitewashing) I just get annoyed that the “opposite” gender is always sexy-fied

☀️Rapunzel Racebend🤎

Just a fun edit✍️ to see what Rapunzel🎨 and her family might look with an alternate design✨. I was so disappointed when they announced Rapunzel🖌 and just made her ANOTHER white and blonde princess👑 (although I do like her design, especially her purple💜 dress👗!!)

I did keep her hair blonde👱‍♀️ in this edit, because it’s color🌈 comes from the magic flower🌼 in the story📖. If anything, I think her having darker skin emphasizes her unique💫 blonde hair way more!

people, can't believe i have to say this, Asha and Isabella don't look alike. look at the wildly different profiles! they are just both disney brown girls with dark hair in purplish dresses

Similarly, Asha does not look like Esmeralda

or even really Elena

you know who's face profile she does map over?

friggin'

rapunzel

the hair even parts in the exact same place!

c'mon disney, did you have to reuse this body model AGAIN? you think just because you tweaked it very slightly, we wouldn't recognize the same silhouette??

disney, you just did Encanto, did you learn nothing about designing female characters? You also did Raya, and Strange Worlds, and Moana-

let 2010 gooo already

Raceswapping/Colorswapping:

I feel like I'm the only person on earth who truly doesn't care about raceswapping/colorswapping characters.

These are my ocs, Oakley and Viko, who are Native American. Their original skin tones are on the left. I could care less how people want to color them. They're fictional characters. I still recognize them as my ocs because of their outfits and hairstyles:

Anyone of any ethnicity or nationality can be light, medium, or dark skinned. People tend to forget or ignore this a lot.

In my opinion, I believe that racebending/colorbending/raceswapping/colorswapping (however you call it) is not racist unless: 1.) someone intentionally draws to troll or hurt people's feelings or 2.) if someone claims "I fixed this character's skin tone! They look better now!"

I don't care if Princess Tiana or Black Panther are white. I don't care if Snow White is latina. They could be from an AU where the story takes place in a different country or in a multiverse (Thank you, Spider-verse!), who cares. I say let people have fun & draw and cosplay whoever they want. Don't like it? Ignore it. This has been a thing way before Twitter complained about it. (see "disney princesses racebent art" on Google or "Alternate Stories of Disney Princesses in Different Countries")

People (especially adult conservatives and liberals) need to start worrying about actual racism/violence that's happening in the world right now and stop screaming at their screens. Not every single artist raceswaps/colorswaps with bad intentions. Some just like learning about different cultures & expressing it through fiction, like me.

If you think I'm racist/colorist for raceswapping/colorswapping after explaining all of this, then that's your opinion. Block and ignore me.

I'm not the one who's intentionally drawing questionable caricatures/trolling & hurting people's feelings, or going around innocent artists' accounts & telling them how "racist" their fan art is. People who do this stuff tend to be the racist ones.

You can raceswap/colorswap without having to be racist/colorist. It's not that difficult.

An producer will make the executive decision to racebend a character then make that character the exact opposite of the original character and put that character through hell that they won’t put the white character through that’s not represented
