Hey everyone its the daystar voyage Head LT Kyoko cane here to bring you another good post on my blog, one of my concerned posts on black poc representation in black media

Today in this two part special where gonna discuss about Good hair in animation & how it can define the character and fashion.

i wanted to talk about the topic of hair in animated shows, how it can define the details and proper cultural portrayal of how black people or POC have been represented as a whole (be it of mixed ecthnicity)

Lets get down to it, I feel we need to make a discussion on the Good & bad on proper cultural rep on shows especially when it relates & emotes to viewers & fans, we do have the discussions oof having nothing but our sexuality been made a character define characteer instead of good character, wriitng, physcial features and up holding a beauty standard.

The topic of HAIR Appreciation in animation, Questionable taste in how hair is not styled well for ethnicity.

Example

Luz's hair has so much symbolism of who she is, going to all works of animation, I do feel when she wasn't fully understood at home she acted out very ill-conditioned cause her father pass and moved into a new area, never relating to anyone, So it leads her to not changing her looks be it fashion, which i feel the shows writing shouldve explored more into why she keeps in short and theres a topic ill put in is masculization of black women think about it.

Dear I say it, after rewatching the show, IT feels like A LETDOWN & missed chances at times, with the staff & writers not know how to make great hairstyles to show proper culutral race. (and i have seen alot of fanart who did a great job on giving her better styles that enhnace her physcial features.

i feel this a recurring trope been used since the miles morales hair controversy cause black people or poc presented hair comes in many forms that can gives so much praise. Hers a article on the miles morales hair debut which is a logical standpoint on hair reprenentation, shows we need to have more diverse hairstyles in media or poc characters

Spider-Man 2 Addresses Miles Morales' Controversial New Haircut

Spider-Man 2 features an in-game conversation that addresses Miles Morales' new haircut.

NOW

I mean girl this HAIRMET (Fused words hairdo+helmet) and my goodness will never let them down for the outfit choices for luz comparing the femme presented amity and willow which is tasteless at best.

Look down down below on how her hair could’ve made her more feminine and beautiful I blame the masculinity of black women, a topic video you can find on my youtube that contribute to such aspects of how we see poc or black people.

so many missed oppurtunitys Remind yourselfs to draw long hair luz ill be a sucka to buy it which i discuss in my video.

My FAVORITE VIDEO AND PIC on how that did her justice

also another thing, nobody shouldnt have an excuse to brush away fem qualities over sexual orientation , let there design be versatile and not one track (along with the writing of the show.)

The greater aspects of how we should style characters.

Now unlike other media i talked about above whihc have been flawed in design and dont contribute to the chaaracters growth, two shows that did a absolutely great job of showing good ethnic & cultural representation in series such as amphibia & molly mcgee whihc made raw characters come out of theere own with greatness with prominent physical features

While anne boonchy & moon girl lunella had great writing, having there cultural cleebbrated in great execution of proper black hair great with good results, In moon girl we also get in episode where we discuss why we see black people be in love with there selves for there beautiful features including hair along anne boochuy diaspora making a impact.

moon girl video below

Great hair episode that impacts Cultural and ecthinic representation above.

i feel we have a long way to go when it comes for the new gen to desgin well executed characters, instead not having there postive trait of whos orenitation being there great feature.

but i disgress

look at the hairstlyes from the winx club, the long hair on characters as layla (aisha) & flora is PHENOMENAL AND COULD’VE PLAYED A ROLE IN BLACK PEOPLES HAIR BEING BEAUTIFUL FOR VIEWERS

One Great example for hair representation, and also cultural goodness put into it was the Winx club (which had actual fashion designers work on the character concepts and outfits)

Thank you for reading this post hope we can discuss the topic on the comments (that means civilized and dont hate appreciate others critiques and statements)

Thank you for being on the daystar voyage.

Also make sure to check out my latest video on amphibia too.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur's chess scene

I brought this up briefly in an earlier post, but I love Moon Girl. Can we talk about how great this brief chess scene is between Lu and Mimi? It's a master class in visual storytelling and foreshadowing.

Lunella and Mimi are playing a friendly game of chess and Mimi is on the losing end. Mimi's playstyle revolves around relying heavily on her queen to carry the game for her.

"The queen can win the game on her own cuz she got it like that" - she's not wrong about the queen being the single strongest piece.

But while the queen is the strongest piece, it's not invulnerable.

The visual comparison is made even more direct in how Mimi is playing with the black chess pieces believing the idea that the Black queen can do it all to bring her to victory. It helps convey the kind of attitude she as a Black woman approaches the world with and one that becomes highlighted later in the episode.

This ends up costing her as her granddaughter points out she can only get so far with just the queen and that it's the duty of the other pieces to support the queen rather than relying on one piece to win her the game.

The Black queen is also taped together, worn and weary from overuse.

The way this use this as a way to foreshadow the discussion of the emotional burdens of Black women and girls and the way should normalize having them take on the world alone is just so amazing.

They're also rightfully pointing out that this isn't just some internal "change yourself" thing, it's brought on by harmful societal expectations toward people of marginalized genders.

Mimi is by no means a bad player, but they use this as a way to showcase an attitude of Black women having to shoulder burdens alone that is thoroughly deconstructed and critiqued within the show.

This is a fantastic show and it's just full of loving moments like this.
