Random Rambling/Thoughts.:
Kind of related to my last rant about representation in media, m’ pal Nuke brought up a good point as well.
While it’s good to normalise having representation in fandoms and pointing out/educating about racism, there’s another thing that can be done, and arguably better.
Look, consume and spread word on works about non-white individuals/cultures, made by non-white creators (preferably outside of America because so many medias are Americanised, no offence).
Because not only there’s a chance you’re learning about different cultures (and if you’re a fellow creator, you could slowly pick up information on how to incorporate said cultures into your works), but most importantly, supporting and encouraging these creators to make more work and help them make a living!
At least, that’s my point of view/thoughts.
This whole Primos cartoon controversy coming from Twitter is to me just insane. On one hand I'm not too shocked because of course it's the internet also Twitter...for one thing. But also, while I might not be Hispanic or Latin American or anything of the sorts. But I swear this entire commotion on this particular cartoon reminds me of how some audiences seem to expect a lot from people of color creators to be representatives or spokespersons of their whole entire racial communities.
Like I've noticed when a creator of color does something super authentically personal to them and from their own life or upbringing within a story, there's seems to be some kind of backlash or scrutiny coming for them from some people saying that there personal experiences isn't "Good Rep" or " not realatble enough" or something along those lines. Not saying at all that proper criticisms shouldn't be given out when needed too since no one is above criticism regardless of who they are & what they are as well as not excusing poor actions & writing & such. But it's just something I've seen also noticed on how Black & Brown/Minority creators will at times get meet with extra scrutiny for creating something personal to them, more then what white creators will go through.
All in all, I just think that some people need to understand that not every person of color experiences is going to be identical to each other. Like how not every black person family life or way of life is going to be the same since we're not a monolith, same goes for any minority group of people.
This controversy on this new cartoon show that's hasn't even came out yet...Is IDK what to say except on one hand I can get also understand some people concerns & issues about this show especially when it comes to Disney at times, but on the other hand again not every creator of color experiences is going to be identical to yours, ya'll might be of the same minority community, but that doesn't mean you're experiences are going to be the same especially in terms of familial upbringing and were you where raised and so forth.
Either way I'm still kinda interested in this Primos show and curious to see if it's turns out to be actually decent or not and if the issues I've learned about on it (in terms of poor stereotyping and not-well done research on the culture & language & such) will be worked on and resolved.
The Islands of Sina Una
For your nerdy consideration: The Islands of Sina Una is a Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign setting based on mythology and folklore from the islands of pre-colonial Philippines.
If you’re looking for something different from the usual fare of eurocentric RPG settings, want to support indie POC creators, or like me are absolutely parched for pre-colonial myths from our archipelago, this might be the book for you!
You can pre-order a digital or physical copy from the publisher The Deck Of Many’s website (Iink in reblog).
Everyone working on this book is Filipino. And reading the co-director (HTTPaladin on Twitter)’s “thread on threads” about it reassured me they’re in no way half-assing this. (Side note: I’m highkey coveting all the source books their research team probably has access to by now, because to those who don’t know, it’s really fucking hard to get your hands on a lot of those books).
The book will have new base classes, subclasses, subraces, backgrounds, spells, magic items, monsters, and even boat travel rules. The book’s artists have also posted art of food so there’s probably gonna be a ton of food in this book? Idk, but I'm excited!
Please check it out, please signal boost (Critters...how about a Critter Hug™ 😜?), and if you can — please buy it. Thank you for your time.
(I’ll include links in the reblog.)
POC Creators on The Owl House
I've seen a lot of people complain about how The Owl House is about POC characters but made by mostly white people. And it's true that many of the Owl crew are white people.
But there are many POC creators on that crew as well that aren't as well known, so I think we should uplift them and give them attention too. After all, Dana doesn't do everything.
Here's just some of them:
______
Luz Batista - Storyboard Artist & Revisionist Worked on episodes in both Season 1 and Season 2. She also did some writing, and language and cultural advising. (She's also the person Luz is named after!)
Ricky Cometa - Art Director Worked on almost the whole show (39 episodes).
Anne Chunapongse - Production Management Post-production Supervisor for 38 episodes, Production Manager for 1 episode
Madeleine Hernandez - Writer Worked on all of Season 2, part of Season 1b
Mikki Crisostomo - Writer Worked on all of Season 2
Janae Hall - (former) Writer Staff Writer for Season 2a, Production Associate for Season 1.
Aminder Dhaliwal - Storyboard Artist and Director Directed 6 episodes in Season 1, and was Storyboard Artist for 5 episodes in Season 1.
Jessica Chandra - Line Producer Worked on Season 2b.
Rhea Dadoo - Storyboard Artist Worked on episodes in both Seasons 1 and 2. (including Grom and TTBK!)
Aleth Romanillos - Prop Design Worked on episodes in both Season 1 and 2.
There's so many more but I can only put 10 pictures here, and also, many don't have public photos of themselves.
Also I should mention Christian Palacios. He did prop design for Edge of the World and King's Tide. He was on Cissy's Instagram live last night and talked about working on King's Tide, and how he got to work on The Owl House. The recording of the live is on @/cissyspeaks Instagram page.
