◉ I got 3 main tags: #foosys art tag <- pretty self explanatory. #foosys NOT art tag <- whatever i post that i think has some substance but isn't art. I seriously couldn't tell you what i put in there because I fear scrolling my own account. but it's probably not art. #foosys asks tag <- answering asks. requests i've done are both in here and in my art tag
◉ I block people who use he/him on Leona West or if we are in the same communities and I fit your DNI. and other miscellanous people who annoy me but if you actually are aware of my account and r blocked and are wondering why then it's likely one of those 2 reasons lol
◉ don't be afraid to tag me in things, I WANNA SEE COOL STUFF !!!!! anything you think i'd like really, any shinobu any aoi any mirei and ESPECIALLY any hibiki/pripara analyses. I WANNA SEEEEE !!!!!
◉ More about me..... I really really like yuushinomayo #OT3 but !!!!! I have long undownloaded enstars and no longer buy official merch~ remember to be critical of your interests !!
◉ other than that, og aikatsu and pripara are my other biggest interests that i might post about !! i tend to rb a lot of stuff, but on this account, i only rb things related to what i might personally post about. @priperfect is my sideblog where i just rb whatever the hell (mostly rgu, touhou, and fiber arts stuff) if you ever just wanna peek more into my head lol
◉ I make all my favs transgender with my mind beam, so you will now hear of my affected victims. Mayoi: they/them; Shinobu: he/they tmasc; Yuuta: she/her tfem. My personal hibiki headcanon is that he leans more on the Guy spectrum of being transmasc nonbinary and i feel like so many people are quick to parade hibiki as nonbinary lesbian rep but then use exclusively she/her and never actually explore how his transness affects him other than like. girlboss lesbian #letsgoqueers. whatever. i stand on my trans island of truth alone if i must. I also think falulu being a trans girl is gold and wrote up a post on it so i wont clog this bullet point any more LOL.
◉ on that note. Leona West being a trans girl is NOT a headcanon
if i see anyone refer to her as a "femboy" or use anything other than she/her you are blocked on sight, and i have now added that up front and center before the readmore cut cuz i keep finding endless transphobic pripara tumblr users I DONT KNOW HOWWWW. the bar is on the floor. dont misgender a girl who is clearly trans. and yet no one can clear it. I don't know how there's like 7 pripara fans on tumblr and half of them are transphobic, but what else did i expect from the transmisogyny site. In fact, if i see anyone genuinely refer to characters as "femboy" (especially in a sexual context considering that's when that word is most often used to misgender trans women) instead of having actual transfem headcanons or engaging with heavily implied transfem characters without misgendering them or calling them a "boygirlthing" and then rarely (if ever) using she/her, i do not like you and will block you regardless of if it's directed to leona or not
so many people love to say they're trans friendly but flake when it comes to trans girls and in general try to align trans characters with their agab as much as humanly possible (thing i see with hibiki a LOT) and it pisses me off. grow a spine. actually TRY to be a real ally to trans people and especially trans women.
◉ where else do i post... well I'm the most active here on tumblr! which is why this point is so low lol. but i also post on pixiv and twitter!! i also have an nsfw side blog over on twitter if that is of interest to you (beware i am a freak im sorry)
◉ finally, feel free to dm me and be my friend wehehe either here on tumblr or in discord (priperfect)!! i don't bite and if we share interests i'd love to yap !!!!! just beware im a uni student so if i'm slow to respond, don't take it personally X3
"I do not want us to be a god and his loyal follower, nor an evildoer and his executioner, but schoolmates, who are able to smile together, surrounded by tiny fish tanks."
With more and more Anime and manga starting to genuinely include brilliant, non stereotypical and fun Black characters it only makes me more and more annoyed that Priparas one attempt at a Black character with Pepper turned out so god awful.
Not just because you wouldn’t be able to tell she’s supposed to be Black and African from design alone if I didn’t tell you but also because they managed to make this girl every stereotype of a Black person under the sun.
To the degree I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they were working down a list of them.
Perpetual foreigner trope?
Yep. Her difference in behaviour compared to the other girls is one of her most consistent gags.
Animalistic Black person trope?
Yep. They managed to jump the most obvious hoop by not equating her to a monkey but immediately face planted after by having her act like a Lion instead.
And her line of outfits she wears to perform is literally called “Sunny Zoo.” Jesus Christ.
Noble savage trope?
Yep. She’s portrayed to able to quickly discern peoples nature upon first meeting and labels everyone she meets with an animal she associates with them.
Uncivilised cave person trope?
Yep. Girl was literally wearing animal skins and was raised by lions when we first met her.
Like you can’t get more straightforward than that.
Aggressive hunter trope?
Yep. Tried to eat the cute series mascot when they all first met her.
Once again. Very straightforward with it.
Like it’s to the degree that when people ask me about advice about properly portraying Black characters? I’m genuinely tempted to go
“You see this character Pepper? Everything that she is? Don’t do that.”
And the worst bit is? She could’ve been slightly better.
Oh not in the personality department she likely would’ve always been a messy tangle of stereotypes there.
But in the design department. In which she could’ve at least actually looked like the Black girl they intend her to be. Her Prototype being much darker skinned with black hair instead of cream white.
And you can immediately see how just that alone already starts to do a world of difference. Because at least then darker kids could take a bit of joy of seeing themselves represented physically. See a darker skinned girl in cute clothes dancing with other girls.
Have their features presented as appealing you know?
But no. They couldn’t even let her do that. Lightening her to the point she’s only barely darker than the other girls and slapping white hair on her to use colour theory to try and make her feel darker than she is. (A common trick you can’t unsee once you start looking for it.)
Pepper is a character they were too cowardly to commit to properly from the start. Both in researching how to do a Black character sensitively and showing them on screen.
Black and Blasian kids growing up in Japan deserve better representation than her.
recovered one of the first drawings id ever made of them for a quick warmup before locking back in for classwork

hahaha wouldn't it be so funny how yuuta mentioning and talking about hinata to shinobu on a date would be as awkward as someone going on and on about their mom. maybe yuuta should have a hinata mentions counter instead of a mom mentions counter hahaha *starts thinking about hinatas parentification* *starts thinking about how their borderline incest had to happen for them to survive and not because hinata wanted to or is personally an incestuous abuser or anything* *this isnt funny anymore* *keels over and dies*
Since this year we have SIX DAYS of Mayoi and Shinobu birthday celebration (according to jap enstars), I decided to have the Ninja Association Week on tumblr
Mostly I do it for myself but decided to make an announcement for the case if anyone wants to join!
werm finally posting a finished work ? yay!!! my motivation's getting a lot better (personal thanks to Han, devi, hao, ciel + my other oomfs <3) and I was able to complete this in 30 minutes!! hehe.. also a yume post :3
