it's just so crazy how friendships between women r devalued so much that anytime two women in media r close friends u end up w a camp of people who go "i prefer them as platonic friends (so i can more easily ignore the significance of their bond)" & another camp that goes "they aren't friends they're girlfriends (bc i cannot fathom their friendship having any meaning or significance)" it's impossible for these people to truly care about women's inner lives & complexities. meanwhile they r writing veritable essays abt the life-changing ride-or-die bond between two fictional men who r somehow coworkers & best friends & soulmates & confidantes & madly in love w each other & divorced &—

okay couple things, I know that these comments are well meaning but this is not a fish for webtoons recommendations or suggestions on how to flip these tropes. this is me asking for you to sit and think about why these tropes exist in the first place. and why they're so widespread. a majority of the queer artists that make art and get popular off of their art are white thats a given. I feel like low-key when it comes to the majority of art I see and what art gets popular; when it comes to white wlw/sapphic/etc artists they wanna show how idk, woke they are with their art so they try to get in as many brown/black ocs as they can to ship with their white ocs. the problem arises when they showcase certain like romantic and sexual dynamics in their art but they don't think about it past service level 'this is what gets me off'. like, for starters why do you associate darker skin and/or blackness with like aggressiveness, strength, servitude and carnality? why is that?

also low-key you can avoid this problem by simply having like, two dark skin women be together? you don't have to insert yourself, oops I mean a white oc, into your work every time. I also have a similar issue with white mlm/etc artists making east and south asian men sexually submissive to their white male paramours + just straight up not making content of queer black men/acting like they don't exist.

ultimately um, idk if you're a white artist you need to be more critical of the shit you're into sexually and unpack the racialized tropes you perpetuate. umm... stop with the antiblack and orientalist shit. and lastly stop acting like gay and bisexual black men don't exist. by the power of the father the son and the holy spirit amen.

sometimes there is not enough donna in the dickroy…

[maangoes]

in my head it’s like yes roy loves donna and dick as individual, distinct people. but roy is in love with dick because he has been in love with donna since he was fifteen and at some point unconsciously he started slotting dick into the same space. and then it doesn’t help that i think when dick and roy start something up, there’s a latent feeling that dick is using roy to fulfill a need that has little to do with romantic love. even if mutual romantic love may be lurking ominously in the background. which is exactly what roy’s situation w donna was in titans99. i think they’re both aware of this and it’s constantly shaping how they react to each other. and it’s also why donna’s temporary death has to be the catalyst for their coming together. so any way you slice it (even in a post or pre outsiders moment) donna should be foundational to the dickroy. to me

IMAGE 1: DC fanart page of Beatriz Da Costa from various panels against a black background. She is a lean, curvaceous and toned Brazilian woman with a warm brown skintone. The colors are in a fluorescent palette, highlighting the bright green of her fiery hair. Clockwise: Figure 1: Bea is in her Fire costume, throwing her head back to music, hair flowing with the movement. She gives a knowing, confident glimpse. Her teardrop jewel earring matches her dark fuchsia makeup. A lesbian flag is drawn beside her. Figure 2: Bea is in her Fire costume, grinning wide and walking by in a faux-casual manner. One arm is behind her head, the other is stretched down and pushing in her cleavage. Her makeup is green and her nails are painted chartreuse. Figure 3: Bea is wearing a black bustier top and green mini pencil skirt, fiery hair now deflated in disappointment as she sighs and slouches in her seat. Her fingernails and toenails are painted ruby pink. Figure 4: Bea is wearing a hot pink croptop that reads “BAD DOG SIT,” purple ripped jeans, sunglasses, hot pink nails, and yellow hoop earrings and bangles. Her hair is in a low ponytail with roots growing out. She cocks her hip, arms akimbo, annoyed as she speaks. Figure 5: Bea is in a strapless bronze dress with various bronze jewelry. Her head rests in her hands as she blows a strand of hair out of her face, exasperated. Her makeup is a deep burnt red and glittery green, and her nails are painted orange. Figure 6: Bea is in a black choker and purple plunging neckline dress with shoulder pads. Her makeup is a deep plum with glittery silver, matching her silver nails and earrings. She is speaking to someone offscreen, hand on one hip and gesturing with the other. Tora stands beside her in a strapless red dress, chancing a peek at Bea’s chest.

absolute shame that transphobia has kept people from exploring the narrative & thematic possibilities of transition tbh. it's this very personal journey that is directly linked to somebody's sense of self, has many visual indicators for change, coming of age, etc - how is miserable character transitions as they become more confident not a common trope? well, i know it's because cis people, and even some other trans people, don't see transitioning as the beautiful and normal process it is, but you know what i mean. i hope to see this rectified in the coming years. by 2035 we need at least 10 eggs being published per month
