[catgirl-kaiju]

okay, so, we were expecting Gigglegirl to just, like, cheer up the citizens of Happy City to return our smiles. we did not expect her to do that to Dr. Frown. our deep and sincere condolences to the Frown family

I recently reread all of your lessons, and specifically the one where you pointed out to actually describe your Black characters as Black, and how omitting race perpetuated whiteness as the default reminded me of some character introductions in a book series I really like.

One of the 6 main characters, Cassie, is a Black girl. Through the PoVs of the other (white) characters, I noticed they don't really mention or bring up her skin tone when describing her. They typically focused more on her clothing (overalls and work boots) or her personality (kinda shy, nature lover, etc).

However I really only noticed that when she was mentioned as being Black, it was in the PoV books of either herself or the other character of color. Unless her race had some effect on the story on hand during one of the white character's PoVs, they didn’t much mention her Blackness.

Now I could be picking things out of thin air because there was over 50 books and I only reread a handful of them recently when I noticed this, and they describe her being Black more often by all the characters in the books I haven't gotten to yet. Or maybe it was somewhat intentional on the author's part to have the characters of color mention her race while the white characters grazed over it. Either way, it was interesting to me even if I am just plucking things that were merely author accidents.

Are you talking about Animorphs 😅 I mean, you don't have to do it over and over again, really. One good time is really all it takes to describe what a character's base features look like, and then after that you modify as needed for the setting and plot.

[thelesbianthespianposts]

I’m not sure I agree with the ask. This is Cassie’s description in the first book (from the POV of one of the white characters, Jake)

It’s not ambiguous, it just says shes Black. Plus shes on the covers of all of her books

[zarohk]

I would assume this is about Animorphs, but who knows, after all Worm also has a black teen girl named Cassie, who is planning on becoming a veterinarian.

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry

irrevocably changes your personality

brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

[feluka]

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no "i'm just a girl tee-hee" stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

[feluka]

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative
