I want to read more interracial couple Caitvi. People don’t really consider the racial differences when writing their dynamic, only the socio economic differences like “oh Cait grew up rich so she doesn’t understand a bunch of shi and vi grew up dirt broke so blah blah blah” but like they’re bound to have different upbringings due to race too (also fact that one has a bunch of siblings and the other has one double her age/only child).
Caitlyn is Asian yet people focus more on the fact that she’s born privileged like yeah she was but like let’s dig deeper guys even money can’t overrun heritage. I wanna read about their different preferred meals, practices, holidays, clothing (even traditional) styles, sports, instruments, desserts, political view may even vary too, medicinal remedies, plays, moralities, opinions on police (because depending on where u live they do vary, I live with silly police force (we think they’re a joke cuz they’re bad at their job but they don’t jump people and are pretty down to earth) near me so I’ve never held any hate towards them until I started hearing about what’s been going on in America). I want to read about the challenges and discoveries I hate that I only read (sometimes bad) British Caitlyn and mostly American vi stereotypes.
I wish people played with their ethnicities a bit like I would love for writers and artists (some have and it’s wonderful) to give them varied ethical backgrounds. I wanna see Cait being mixed with different Asian ethnicities not just Chinese or Japanese (cuz I think it’s cool) like imagine Thai/Viet/filipino/bengali/mongolian/korean etc you get the point
and vi doesn’t have to be American all the time (I personally think she fits the Eastern Europe lifestyle very well as someone who’s Balkan) there’s other whites out there lol. She could be western or southern yk like Netherlands, Russian, Bulgarian, hell French or Italian, hell make her from the uk lol maybe she travelled overseas and doesn’t have the accent haha, Swiss, Slovakian, Lithuanian, Romanian guys there’s so fucking many of them
We gotta get out our arses and diversify ourselves cuz it’s cool as shit

Thanks for the poll request, anonymous! I've slightly reworded a couple of the options to keep it in the 80 character limit and still provide the essence of your original wording. Keep the requests coming, folks!
Do you still live in the country where you were born?
Yes
Yes, although I've previously emigrated before moving back here again
Sort of, my country changed its name but I still live in the same place
Sort of, the borders changed so now I'm in another country despite not moving
No, I came to the country I live in now when I was a child
No, I came to the country I live in now as an adult
okay, what if it was for the eight demon sorcerers meet other cultures and discover that humans can actually have a varienty of skin color, and also the cases of people with albinism or vitilige! And honestly, i feel like some of them could be surprised or curious, especially with the fact that also heterochromia exists too! And it would be cool they discovering how some of the countries are noawadays! Such as brazil, america, mexico, china, russia, and also england! It could be pretty cool, especially at they reaction to afro people aswell!^^
Well, according to mine and another Questioner's research, the Eight Demon Sorcerers must have existed at least before 220 BC (last Dynasty of Ancient China). With that being said, even during the first recorded Dynasty of China (the "Semi-Legendary" Xia Dynasty) at around 2070 BC, humans were all over the world. Not as plentiful like today, but still present on almost every continent.
("Overview map of the world at the end of the 2nd millennium BC," Wikipedia)
Now, according to the cartoon, these were the locations of their kingdoms:
- Tso Lan- The Moon
- Shendu- China
- Po Kong- Japan
- Bai Tza- Southeastern coast of Europe (Atlantis, the Mediterranean Sea)
- Dai Gui- Western coast of Europe (Spain?)
- Tchang Zu- Western coast of the USA
- Hsi Wu- Eastern coast of the USA
- Xiao Fung- Latin America
This means they had the closest interactions with people in America (USA and Mexico area), southern Europe, and Far East Asia when they were on the Earth. However, we don't know how long their ruling was, so we cannot say if they took part in the Silk Road or even made contact with those who have migrated to South America (from the Bering Strait or form the Pacific) or even Australia. I have been looking into Lo Pei's apparel for a couple hours now and I cannot find anything matching his "Ling Dynasty" outfit, which is, in fact, not an actual Dynasty. Therefore, the Demon banishment date is still a mystery.
Anyway, seeing as how they are extremely racist and believe humans are here to serve them, I think they would be curious on their variety of skin color, but not in the way you probably want. For example, they probably noticed people with darker colored skin can work under the Sun more than those with lighter skin, therefore, depending on the Demons and their domain, they would probably prefer one skin tone over the other for labor. Although, as seen with Hsi Wu and Shendu, some Demons may keep humans for entertainment purposes that do not require practicality, meaning they may go with what looks the best for the job. Every human is a slave to them, no matter what they look like.
If you want my honest thoughts about the Demons' thoughts on albinism and vitiligo, it's not going to be nice. Don't get me wrong, I personally do not think there's anything wrong with either skin, but to the Demons it would most likely be laughed at. Being so drained of color even the light hurts you? That's pathetic. Being patchy like a filthy farm animal? That's funny.
Don't even get me started on Po Kong and her eating habits. She probably wants to taste every single human of all cultures/ethnicity and skin colors to see if they taste different, which tastes the best, and what they go good with. She could easily wipe out an entire group of people if not careful.
Anyway, how they would react to the modern day. Well, we already saw some of it during Season 2 when they were released one by one. They seem pretty chill about it, nothing too over-reactive like, "Wow! Humans did this?! That's unbelievable!" If anything, they would say, "Huh, impressive. Anyway, this is mine now and I want 20 more." This comes off to me as the Demons know humans are great at making and building things, even believing they can make extravagant buildings on their own, but they don't care. Demons just want them to use this power for their own wants. Heck, they probably expect humans to always make great things, so the stuff that we have today probably won't phase them that much, just, "Hey, why didn't you make this for us way back when?!"
If anything, the Demons might be so impressed/inspired by what humans have made that they want their entire kingdom to look like it and then claim it as their own idea. Like, 'yeah, humans have made these widely unique structures/details, but it was I who designed this kingdom! What they did was a waste of ability!'
Remember, EVERYTHING human-wise goes back to the Demons and how they are better and humans are just things to control and make serve. Humans are only tools/pets for the masters to use and none should not put a single human over demon-kind. They are, like I said, straight up racist towards humans, and a lot of people forget that crucial detail when making fan stuff about them.
I think the only Demon out of the Eight that could possibly make a genuine, "Great job!" comment to a human would be Xiao Fung. He seems to be the most down-to-earth one and is actually seen to get along with humans. However, like I said, I'm pretty sure he still views himself higher than them, but I think Xiao Fung is more low-key "appreciative" if you do the right thing for him.
