clearly i am not the best at providing fc, these are just a few suggestions, for some i didn’t provide fc since they are not poc so they should be easier to find and for some i really don't have any/a lot of fc since i usually use nameless (to my knowledge) faces or faceless pics (if you do this as well, please at least get their skin tone right!!!) so please let me know, if you'd like, by reblogging this post or replying, if you have any fc for the poc esp or send me their names and i can add them in! also if you have any issues with any fc suggested here, please do let me know!
