“Old friend” either means an elderly dog or an individual of the same gender with whom you have been secretly in love for more than a decade. There are no other possible interpretations.
This is blatant archenemy erasure and I won’t stand for it
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t the individual of the same gender you’ve been secretly in love with for more than a decade
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t an elderly dog
// if anyone’s interested in blindly throwing refs or descrips at me without knowing what my art looks like, i want to practice doodles over the next little while (days weeks) and anything that doesn’t look like garbage ill send to peeps!

i want to talk about tommy shepherd. i want to talk about when he said “they’ve kept me locked up for months… testing me… probing me… trying to turn me into a living weapon”, because i have questions. did anyone ever try to talk with tommy about this? asking him if he was okay? did tommy have nightmares? did tommy have fears of that the freedom he’d got wasn’t permanent? because yes, tommy is a tough guy, but he’s also 16, and he may have vaporized his school, but he is still just a kid. and he was kept locked up for months. all alone. not being able to use his powers. not being able to do something to get outta there. they had all these tests on him and he couldn’t fight against it. he couldn’t have known if someone would ever go to get him out.
i just need to know someone asks tommy if he is okay.

@morcinder Tommy took an audible breath through his teeth, leaning back on his heel as he studied her face. “I didn’t break you out of prison just to help you murder someone, even if I do know his new identity and address.”
Ash ripped off the number patch from her max security uniform and threw it in to the gutter near them and snarled, but mostly at the situation, not at Tommy himself. “He tried to ruin my fucking life! He destroyed everything.” She rubbed her face aggressively with her hands and quickly ripped off the rest of the identifying pieces of her clothes. “…why did you break me out?”
"And he'll succeed if you go after him!" Tommy tossed her a black shirt from the thin backpack he'd brought. "You want a granola bar? That's the only food I have." He was...actively avoiding the question because he didn't really know how to answer it."
@hergift "So I tried to make my own protein bars in like, bulk. Some of them taste great but one batch just tastes like pure compacted protein powder. Wanna try it? It's gross."
@morcinder Tommy took an audible breath through his teeth, leaning back on his heel as he studied her face. "I didn't break you out of prison just to help you murder someone, even if I do know his new identity and address."

“They break your heart, I break their face. Simple as that.”
“Trust me, I know people.”
“I SAID DON’T TOUCH ME!”
“I’m hugging you, shut up.”
“Oh my god are you hugging me?”
“Stop doing that it’s creepy.”
“YOU JUST LICKED ME! SHE JUST LICKED ME!!”
“I tolerate you.”
“See this is why we can’t have nice things.”
“Ok but look, sometimes he gets off in his own little world all alone where he doesn’t care about anyone else. You don’t wanna be like that. No one likes that person.”
“If you do that again I’m hitting you…”
“I’M TELLING MOM!”
“So you’re telling me that…. You didn’t eat this because you thought it was mine, and I didn’t eat it thinking it was yours… Oh I’m eating this now.”
“Get out of my head please.”
“W h a t are you wearing?”
“Is that my shirt? That’s my shirt isn’t it….”
“No you can’t have my pants, I need them.”
“Eh, just go grab something from the closet and you’ll be fine.”
“I need you to dress me today.”
“I’m wearing your shirt. It’s mine now.”
“Would you stop taking my clothes with out asking?!”
“Oh hey I was looking for that…”

“I don’t care! I’ve had enough, I’ve seen enough. I want out. I want it to end. I don’t care anymore!”
“Don’t talk to me.”
“He must have known I’d want to leave you.”
“You’ll stay with me?”
“I am not worried, ( insert name here ). I am with you.”
“I’m going to keep going until I succeed – or die. Don’t think I don’t know how this might end. I’ve known it for years.”
“You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
“I can’t be involved with you anymore. We’ve got to stop seeing each other. We can’t be together.”
“I care. How do you think I’d feel if this was your funeral… and it was my fault…”
“Have you ever seen anything quite as pathetic?”
“Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.”
“I’m on your side!”
“I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.”
“Want to come to the ball with me?”
“That was nosier than I thought it would be.”
“They are coming.”
“Shan’t say nothing if you don’t say please.”
“I can’t give a professor ‘love’!”
“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”
“The toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it – it might get sick.”
“I will not tolerate mention of your abnormality under this roof!”
“You’re just as sane as I am.”
“Just a fun fact, Professor. Adds a bit of interest –”
“It’s time you learned some respect!”
“It’s a fairytale, ( insert name here ).”
“Killing rips the soul apart.”
“One person can’t feel all that at once – they’d explode!”
“I had a dream about a motorcycle… it was flying.”
“It was only a dream.”
“I don’t think you’re a waste of space.”
“I’m dying! I’m dying, look at me! It’s killed me!”
“You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.”
“Are you sure that’s a real spell?”
“Scared?”
“The ones that love us never really leave.”
“Why would I look for someone I know wants to kill me?”
“You don’t have to be ashamed of what you are.”
“I’m not going anywhere!”
“I – I didn’t think…”
“You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!”
“Did you kiss?”

Jim smiled in response to the grin on the other’s face. “I’ve been around enough speedsters to know that that’s not true,” he teased. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he carried on with the casual stroll, only looking back at Tommy with a thoughtful look on his face. “So, let’s start with you. Why are you, you know, doing the hero thing?”
“Well, it’s dangerous to offer me sweets.” The teen hooked his thumbs in his belt loops, hyper aware of his habit of mimicking body language. It was particularly a problem when he was focusing on not running circles around people.
“The uh, hero thing. Well. That’s a story. Have you...heard about the young avengers at all?” Clearly, he hadn’t heard anything about the team members, but maybe he’d heard mentions of them. “Iron Lad, Patriot, Hawkeye, Hulkling, Wiccan, Stature? Uh, little Vision?” He started speaking with his hands without thinking about it, making vague motions that at least represented them to him. “There were other people later but I wasn’t really around because of reasons.”
like for a starter that might be super short but i’m gonna do my best efforts for something with like, an actual setting?

Tommy could feel the awkwardness, but he was determined to keep keep talking to his sort-of-uncle as long as he could tolerate him. “I’m eighteen. And, hey, I know the timelines are kind of weird and fuzzy, but Billy and I have theories and mom recognized us on sight when she met us, you know?” He was talking too quickly again, and abruptly shut his mouth, rubbing at his arm. “Want to get coffee? I really am interested in the war stories.”
He quickly held up a hand to stop him. “Whoa. Uh… Let’s not jump right into tales of war. I guess I’m a bit more interested in learning about you. Getting to know each other. Not… something you could read on wikipedia.” Now that Jim was entirely sure what it said about him on that website. Dismissing the thought, he started walking, gesturing for Tommy to follow along. “I know a nice place we can get some coffee and dessert. Come on.”
The interest threw him for a loop, even though he should have expected it. He could roll with that, though. If anyone was interested enough he could talk their ear off. As long as they weren't a shrink. At the prompt, he fell into step beside him. "Don't you know it's dangerous to offer sweets to a speedster?" A cheeky grin spread across his face.
how to properly write an indian character (racebent or not):
INDIA IS DIVERSE. what this should mean to you is that the culture in one state may be very different from the culture in a neighboring state. there are always similarities, but the differences are VERY important.
FOOD. like i said, india is very diverse. the food’s going to be made differently, and the popular foods will vary from state to state and even from town to town, village to village. there’s like 347454578 types of biryani, and not all parts of india like to use a lot of spice or a lot of oil. it all depends, and you need to do your research before you decide what your muse’s favorite indian dish. (the indian restraunts you see in western countries are usually,,, not all that accurate. we don’t eat butter chicken and naans everyday, but god i know some of us wish we did).
LANGUAGE. again, india is very diverse and it has a lot of languages. one of the main problems is that because of how many languages each part of india speaks, it’s hard to connect the country’s people as a whole. that means not everyone speaks hindi. in most cases, a person will speak the common language found in their particular area, and that’ll be their mother tongue. this is especially true in the more southern areas. this means you need to know where your muse’s hometown is or where their parents’ hometown is, or whatever the case may be. (let me clarify: most ppl that went through indian schooling will learn the common language in the area, hindi, and english. but if you’re a first immigrant like myself, sometimes you’ll only focus on one main language rather than two. like i know telugu, but not hindi. it all depends, but make a conscious decision when thinking about this).
RELIGION. not all indians are hindu and muslim. buddhism and jainism have a great following there, and it’s important to choose wisely here. of course, i cannot speak accurately about the latter three religions, but if you choose to have your muse be hindu, please understand that there are sects within hinduism. not everyone practices the same thing. not everyone celebrates the same holidays. do your research.
SOUTH INDIANS VS. NORTH INDIANS. this is VERY, VERY, VERY important topic. south indians and north indians can trace their ancestry to two different groups, so we have very different physical features. the most apparent one is our skin tones. south indians are generally darker. we generally celebrate holidays a little differently, but that can also be due to that person’s religion and their specific sect. marriages are different, foods are made differently. you need to look into the specifics for each particular state.
DO NOT USE LIGHT SKIN INDIAN AESTHETICS FOR SOUTH INDIANS. it is VERY disrespectful, especially taking into account how colorism is very overbearing in india and desi communities. yes there are light skin south indians and dark skin north indians, but please don’t act like you can use light skin aesthetics for a dark skinned indian. the whole problem is that we’re pressured into lightening our skin, and if we don’t, then we’re not desirable/beautiful. it’s takes a toll on all of us, so if you’re not indian, please be wary with the way you go about this. (of course there are exceptions like maybe you see a light skin indian model wearing a traditional outfit that you feel like your muse would wear, then that’s fine! bc the main focus is the clothing, not the model themselves).
DO NOT USE A NORTH INDIAN FACECLAIM FOR YOUR SOUTH INDIAN MUSE. and vice versa. it’s more problematic if you use a north indian fc for your south indian muse because south indians are seen as lower than north indians. the Ideal Indian is what people usually attribute to north indians, (we’re all told to be more like the north indians) so you’re completely supporting the erasure (when you think of india, you usually picture north indian cultures, south indians are grossly underrepresented in western media) and hate of south indians when you choose a north indian fc over a south indian fc for your south indian character.
ESTRANGED FROM THEIR CULTURE. if your muse is more estranged from indian culture, then you need to explain why and what aspects they are separated from. desi communities in western countries will be different from indians actually living in india (as with most immigrant vs native communities). take some time to find some first hand accounts from indians living in the same country your muse is. it’s okay for your muse to be estranged from their culture, it happens to many people of color, not just indians. you just have to take into account how that can affect their confidence in their own heritage and things like that.
CASTE SYSTEM. yes, i understand that it’s literally illegal for discrimination to occur based on caste, but it still happens. it’s like how discrimination based on race still happens in western countries even though it’s usually illegal in that country. frankly, not many young indians take caste into account when they make their friends (but realize that there’s still a lot of discrimination within schools, workplaces, and social areas). the caste system still holds strong when it comes to arranged marriages, but more and more young people are choosing to have inter-caste marriages, something the older generations are wary of.
STEREOTYPES. if you are not indian then it is not your place to reclaim any stereotypes. so stay away from customer service jobs and convenience store owners. of course, if your muse is smart, that’s not necessarily something that always negatively impacts indians, but be careful with the way you word certain things.
it’s very obvious when someone doesn’t do their research, so please, take your time. use multiple sources. take notes. don’t just look on wikipedia for fifteen minutes and say that’s all the info you need. india has many cultures, and many of them overlap. it’s up to you to do the research and understand how all of this affects your muse. (also, this isn’t a comprehensive list, so take that into account when you’re researching).
hi , another local east indian here ! rose hit all the highlights , and i can think of no way to improve them. one thing i’ve noticed with the rpc and indian characters is that people see an indian character wearing beautiful traditional clothing , and it’s usually the reason why they pick that faceclaim. ( examples : aishwariya rai in jodha akbar , priyanka chopra & deepika padukone in bajirao mastani , deepika padukone in padmavaat ). don’t pick a faceclaim just to take those pretty aesthetics and just not say anything about their culture?? don’t pick any faceclaim for the sake of their culture’s aesthetic alone first off…those actresses are playing prominent hindu women. hinduism is already thrown in the gutter by western religions because of the whole christian-centric world view. it’s seen as ridiculous, primitive, and i cannot name an indian who was not called a ‘ monkey worshipper’ or ‘ cow lover ’ or other things said with the intent to insult. you want to use those fancy aesthetics? first you need to understand many of those clothing styles are marriage wear. aka religious wear. those bindis? they’re symbolic. those henna designs? an indian bride of many religions will get that on her wedding day. hell, indians do henna year round for holidays. designers like sabyasachi and manish malhotra who design most of the popular indian clothing you see? yeah most indians don’t get to wear that on a daily basis trust me i wish i could wear that every day but you know money…point is: do not pick up an indian muse because you think the culture is ~* aesthetic *~ AND choose not to do any further commentation on their background. this goes for any faceclaim i mean obviously
