...I don't think it's racist that Disney started out portraying fairy tales from their original places of origin. However, it is refreshing to see them branching out to other cultures and countries too! I too want more from all over the world :D

I think you heavily misinterpreted what I stated in my post when I mentioned racism (/nm.)

I meant that Disney has spent many years actively avoiding casting POC, creating movies about non-white cultures and even mentioning them in positive ways. This has been damaging to POC youth in so many ways, and I am extremely glad for them to be finally branching out and allowing us to see people like us on the big screen.

I did not say it was racist for them to start off creating movies based upon European fairytales. That was a difference sentence entirely, and I didn't mention their beginnings at all (which is literally over 80 years ago.) I was simply stating that they have had all the chances to include other cultures and people, whilst knowing it was desired heavily by their audience, but have refused to do so for so long - or when they did, used it to push gentrification, racist stereotypes and exploit POC.

TMNT Headcanon for Season 5 #3

Part of me is still begging that Mikey should have had a longer glowy attack scene. But Super Shredder was Super for a reason. Everybody off the roof, because that decades-old canon demands homage to Leo facing him alone.

Season Five, I expect more glowy Mikey, and a whoole bunch of Leo/Mikey spirit bonding fluff/angst with Mikey growing up too soon so we all cry when he misses his Papa, when he gets hurt and cries out psychically and Ghost Dad Splinter appears and guides him and then Leo freaks out and pampers Mikey under Ghost Rat Dad’s watchful eye…aand fuck it I’ll write the fanfic myself.

(Headcanon: Leo and Mikey accidentally discover that they can mind-speak to each other after Mikey screws up on patrol, and it saves the team’s lives, although Leo decides that Mikey’s punishment is to deal with his broken wrist like a champion. Mikey learns that not complaining makes him feel more self-confident. Also, the two of them can see the aura energy of the tree in the dojo and that can pull energy from it. Raph is very confused and Donnie is sightly jealous.)

^I copied that from a reblog of an awesome rendition of the Owari Dark Turtles. And now that fanfic is rolling around in my head like a kitten trilling to be played with. And fanfiction plot bunnies have claws.

I have like three fics to finish in two different canon AUs, but nah, I’m gonna write a completely unconnected fic about post-Owari children struggling with the oldest and youngest being spiritually powerful and slightly confused.

Also also…. I think I’m going to make a new AU where Casey is part Asian like me, and April is Polynesian-Irish or Caribbean Irish. Yet another headcanon. My friend finally got back to me and said that while Kevin did initially make April as Irish/Scottish, he left it open for fans. And he’s pleased that fans and Ciro are imagining her as a WOC.

Some months ago when I finally learned my full ancestry, a white person insisted I shouldn’t call myself a poc because the Eastern Europe countries in my family were declared white in 1990, and apparently Mongolia and Sicily and Greece and Hungary and Romania and Moldova don’t count as not white?. According to them. And ethnic Jewish makes them twitchy. But who am I to argue. I literally just learned about my heritage, okay. I am gonna screw up, okay. I don’t call myself a POC because people get weird. I call myself passing white. Someone suggested off-white. My complexion is literally Snow White. …. Oh hell, a headcanon with the turtles in ancient folk tales. Help, covered in headcanons. [Eddie Izzard voice] Covered in headcanons! *runs around stimming* (Please gods, tell me people get the joke, don’t make me reenact Cake Or Death)

you better praise EVERY creator of an aesthetic chart that incorporates queer & non-White representation, because finding a variety of aesthetic pictures for those minorities is fucking HARD--

‘We are scared’: Foreign students trapped in Ukraine’s Sumy

Under Russian shelling and with no means to escape, foreign students trapped in Sumy are growing increasingly desperate.

I know my blog is not about this in any way but I really don't care about that right now. Race and country of origin should never make human lives any less worth. Please remember at the end of the day we're all humans.

Like I said before I strongly stand with Ukraine and what is happening is unforgivable and inhuman. But please, please acknowledge this too and raise awareness.
