”This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now” and “This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator’s control” are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media

[lemonylemus]

Great example

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

"2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first"

oh thank fuck. maybe it's not hopeless

I feel like being nice!!!

So here's some resources for getting the right skin colors for the dragon age characters that people have whitewashed through the years:

Isabela from Dragon Age is Black by Dalishious

FULL skin palette for Alistair by Dalishious

High quality Alistair headshot for colorpicking by Dalishious from this

High quality Zevran headshot for colorpicking by Dalishious from this

Fenris' skin color by Dalishious

High quality Fenris Images for colorpicking by Dalishious

High quality Merrill headshot for colorpicking by Dalishious

And just so people don't have the excuse of laziness, here's palettes i have made by colorpicking textures and models, feel free to use them:

Edit: Crows and Emmrich, Bellara

My own dirty laundry: I have been guilty of whitewashing Merrill before, as I didn't know she was in DA:O so I used the DA2 render for colorpicking, from this I need everyone to learn that sometimes the whitewashing isn't done by malice but from a place of lack of knowledge.

i just discovered this gorgeous progress flag design by FlailingSpade and was inspired to build upon it

the colorblind and photosensitive friendly color scheme comes from the star of david progress flag by dykeboytism

both of these flags will be placed under the read more just in case either link ends up not working

id like to think of this as the sunrise progress flag : >

[luxiomahariel]

pixeled it :3

[ace-aussie-asshole]

THEY PUT SEX MAGIC BACK IN THE FLAG (and a secret third thing??)!!!!

[luxiomahariel]

I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

[somewhere-south-of-neutral]

I'm waiting for him to explain to me how his newfound love of drag allowed him to prove I killed my business partner

You clearly miss Wesley. But that's not the issue.
