Do you think your Drifter and their partner would hold some kind of marriage ceremony at some point in the 1999 loops? Hard to officiate something that would technically get reset every year. Would that matter to your Drifter? Do they even care about the concept of marriage, or ar they happy being as they are with their partner?
This is me genuinely asking btw. Talk to me about your Drifter on this post (āĀ“ā”`ā).

tl;dr quincyās backstory isnāt a stereotype itās just reality for a lot of brown and Black young adults
i saw a post over on frameconfessions about someone saying that quincy was something of a stereotype. iāve tried to keep this post in mind whenever i write or draw him because if he was made with racist undertones in mind, i donāt want to be complicit with promoting them. while i donāt want to think DE would intentionally make a caricature of such an important character, iām not naive enough to think unnoticed biases could slip through the cracks.
but as iāve gone to learn more of quincyās character and his experiences, i⦠donāt see it. then again, that concession was vague and didnāt pinpoint exactly what part of him they thought was stereotypical, but iām going to go out on a limb and guess they meant his backstory ā a young boy from a marginalized community, growing up in a rough neighborhood, joining the army to pay for a college degree and prioritizing his family and himself over everything.
and i personally⦠donāt see that as a stereotype. maybe because thatās reality for people like me.
iām brown. i will never know what itās like to be Black, but iām hispanic and latino. i know that people like me, people of color, people who are obviously not white, do not have nearly as many passes in life as white people do. iāve been lucky that iāve been raised in a predominantly hispanic and latino community for most of my life, and that iāve been surrounded by my culture and people.
but i also know that comes with the harshest realities. both my biological and step father joined the forces when they were young to provide for the people they cared about. i have seen an uncountable number of recruiters come to my high school and sell young kids a dream.
ācome join the army,ā they say. ācome join the military. we have so many benefits. youāll be able to pay for college,ā or if thatās too distant of a dream for you, āyou can buy your own house. a sports car. get out of the valley and be someone outside of this little community. well provide you all the money in the world, and all you have to do is a little bit of work. retire and get a good pension, and youāll even be a hero.ā theyāll smile at you as they try to get you to sell your soul. āyour healthcare? paid for. your debts? wonāt exist. donāt you wanna get out of this?ā
do you have any idea how tempted i have been, even with my own hatred for the military, to do that? to sell myself to the government for a chance to escape, to finally have the burden of finances lifted off of me? to ease my familyās worries by finally making enough money to live comfortably and dreading when rent is due?
i know many Black and brown communities have different perspectives on what role a child should play in a family unit. iām not Jamaican, i have no idea what kind of expectation Quincy would normally be expected to live up to. but i donāt have to know that to know he tried to be a provider anyways. i donāt want to say this part is a stereotype of the parentification of Black children because i truly have no way of proving that, but itās important to realize that this is a trait many young hispanics and latinos share. and given that we know his sister, aunt, and grandmother are people deeply important to him, that heād want to keep safe, especially after the loss of his parents⦠yeah. it makes sense heād join the army. his KIM conversations even state this outright!
i have seen this EXACT. KIND. OF PERSON. fall into the militaryās grasp too many times. i have good friends who i havenāt spoken to in months because guess what? basic training shipped them off to god-knows-where because they wanted a good life for themselves and their family, and they couldnāt afford to turn that kind of opportunity away.
and if the āstereotypicalā part of Quincyās backstory is that he grew up in a rough neighborhood? first of all, heās from London. do you think any brown or Black person in London is gonna have a good time. and second of all⦠yeah. thatās reality. for a LOT of us. i donāt know everyone elseās backstories too well, so is it racist if Quincy is the only one with a rough childhood? yes. but itās also the truth for a lot of Black and brown people such as myself. i wonāt sit here and lie to you that my hometown is always sunshine and rainbows and likes to play nice. my friends in the projects would love to sit me down for a chat if i ever tried to imply shit like that.
so⦠no. i donāt think Quincyās backstory makes him a stereotype. i think itās a harsh truth many white people donāt want to realize. like⦠do you honestly realize how many service members are people of color? google it. google it right now! in 2022, 20% of all US Army members were black. TWENTY PERCENT!!! 17 PERCENT WERE HISPANIC!! ONLY HALF OF ALL ARMY MEMBERS WERE WHITE! HALF!!!!
just because the reality isnt pretty doesnāt mean heās a stereotype.
yeah yeah having a crush is embarassing but have you ever watched yourself develop a new category 5 character obsession in real time. agonizingly humiliating shit
