But yes. Wonderfully naive characters that aren’t taught a lesson *and* turned into bitter dudes/dudettes/what have you are life. Like, people that slowly adjust, come to understand that the world is not as kind as they thought or sex is way more complicated than they or the world is simply more complex than they believed, but not as some soul-wounding shock that turns them darker than ‘tough, worldly’ characters.

There is something to be said for innocence. There is something to be said for practically unfailing optimism. And there is a strength in choosing to be kind, even if they don’t know all the risks.

Yeah, just my thoughts--and my annoyance at seeing too much ‘break the cutie’ or whatever.

I think it's really important to have biracial characters in at least some of my work. For me it's personal, because I have three biracial cousins, and I feel like they probably had/have no/very few characters like them in media growing up. I mean, I feel like it would suck for me if there were no white girls in media, or no Catholics. And it sucks for Danny that there are no nonbinary characters in media. So, I guess it's just a matter of thinking outside the box to include characters that aren't, well, you. 

I hope to do my cousins proud.

Rachelina Takes on Global Diets~Day 8:

I hope you enjoyed watching the video. ^_^ I had a great day today, but not because I lost weight, not because I exercised, and not because I stuck to my diet. lol, it was because I survived the walk home without wanting to cheat on my diet. You can read about the rest of my treacherous walk home and read my food and exercise diary here: http://www.vingle.net/posts/11652

Rachelina Takes on Global Diets~Day 7

Hi All! Sorry, but there is no picture today :( I may come back and add it later today, but I wanted to put the info up before I forgot or became distracted. The weather today was perfect, not too hot or too cold so the walk to and from work was great. It was a pretty low carb day, which is probably why I can't get to sleep. Here is the link to the food and exercise journal: http://www.vingle.net/posts/11074
