list of young actors of color who deserve to have more recognition and opportunities as actors like Glen Powell, Jacob Elordi, Timothee Chalmet etc. It would be refreshing to see more of these talented and underrated actos of color in lead roles, whether in action and sci fi blockbusters, even rom coms
*Note, the list consists of actors born within the 90s-2000s. This might not be a complete list so whoever sees this is welcome to add more actors that I missed. I might update this post from time to time
basically a sequel to this post dedicated to young actresses of woc
Manny Jacinto: It's a crime that he's not cast as a male romantic lead in rom coms. He was so talented in the acolyte and he deserved the same career Glen Powell has. It's a crime he's not in more projects as a lead
Rege Jean Page: he's born in 1988 but I had to include him as he deserved the same roles and opportunities as his co worker Jonathan Bailey. He still deserves a career outside of bridgerton
Caleb McLaughlin: It's very telling how he's not in a lot of other projects (major blockbusters) out of the rest of the young and mostly white cast in stranger things
Ncuti Gatwa (he deserves the same appreciation and opportunities David Tennant and Matt Smith got post Doctor Who)
Danny Ramirez
Anthony Ramos
Rish Shah
Charles Melton (it's a crime he didn't get an Oscar, here's to hoping he gets more major roles)
Ross Butler (Look at him, let him play an action hero)
Ryan Potter
Justice Smith
Archie Madekwe
Jacob Batalon
Dev Patel
Mena Massoud
Mason Gooding
Darren Barnet
Justin Chien
Xolo Maridueña
Justin H Min
John Boyega (still deserved better than the way lucasfilm and star wars sidelined him in favor of A*am D*iver)
Aryan Simhadri
Jose Andres Rivera
William Gao
Tyler James Williams
Ramy Youssef
RJ Cyler
Dallas Liu
Victor Alli
Archie Renaux
there's more but unfortunately, tumblr has a 30 gif limit
"Conner? I thought we talked about this. You have to wear clothes in the Tower and out of it." Dick said. Conner had taken a step back from everything that he's learned since escaping Cadmus laboratory. He used to not understand the need for clothes when he was innocent, but now that he had matured, Conner realized why they were important. Until a few days ago.
Conner turns to him and smirks that damn Superman-styled smirk. His cock was flaccid, but still incredible in size and length. His muscular chest was on display as he bit into another chip from the bag he had in his hands.
"Living in sin is the new thing, Richard. At least that's what Jason says. Besides, everyone's doing it." He points behind Dick. The leader of the Titans turned to see Gar completely naked with a PS controller between his junk. Hovering a few feet above the couch, Y/N turned the page of his book, his legs crossed over his naked form.

Summary: The Titans return home from a mission to find Gar and Y/N asleep on the couch. And Gar is a dog?
Warnings: Fluff, Gar as a literal dog 🥰💖
A/N: Long time no see. Yeah, I know! But here I am giving you this in return.
Words: 1.4K
The Titans arrived home from their mission, only to be welcomed to silence. Kory, Rachel, Connor, and Dick each sent each other a look before Dick called out to the two members they'd left behind. When there wasn't an answer, the four instantly began to panic. That was until something green and lumpy poked out of a cover on the couch.
Dick motioned for Kory, Connor, and Rachel to stay back so that he could investigate, and the three hesitantly stayed where they were. As Dick approached the living room area, more features became more noticeable. The lump on the couch seemed way too big to be just Gar or Y/N. But when he saw a sliver of a hairy tail against a human leg, Dick instantly knew what was going on.
Dick moved closer to the other side of the couch and took a look at the other end of the cover. A small smile appeared on Dick's face as he gazed upon a sleeping Y/N who was cuddled up with a green labrador, which Dick assumed to be Gar, also sleeping.
"Dick, what is it?" Kory asked, speaking for herself, along with Connor and Rachel. She and the two teenagers behind her were genuinely confused about the situation and were unsure of how to handle the situation.
Dick didn't say a word. Instead, he shushed the magenta-haired woman and pointed down at the couch before walking over to the group.
"Y/N and Gar are asleep and I don't want to wake them," Dick said.
Everyone's mouths dropped in shock as they all took a quick glance over to the lumpy figure on the couch. Kory turned to Dick, "They're sleep? On the couch?" Dick only nodded at the woman's question. His smile grew larger by the minute.
After taking another look at the couch, Rachel decided to jump in. "Wow?" she started, walking toward the couch for a better view. "I mean- I had my thoughts, but I didn't actually think that they'd get together."
"I didn't know he could turn into a dog," Connor said, scratching his head.
Dick and Kory sent each other a knowing smile. Rachel was right. They all thought the two were dating. There were clear signs. Between the frequent nights out, how they always share the first bite of their food with the other, and this, the group could only confirm their suspicions. Unless they deny it.
If they denied the dating rumors, then maybe they were wrong. But everyone could see the chemistry between the two.
“Alright,” Dick started as he began to usher everyone out of the room. “Let’s let them sleep.”
Kory and Connor did as they were told but Rachel decided to stay back. “One sec,” she called out, pulling out her phone. She opened the camera app and said, “I just want to document this for future purposes.”
She snapped the picture, forgetting to turn the sound off, making Gar’s ears poke up. One of his eyes slowly opened to reveal his dark brown eyes staring directly at Rachel, who was staring back with a mischievous grin.
Gar panicked and quickly morphed back into his human self. Luckily, he was under the cover, or else everyone would have seen the one downside to his powers, again.
“What’s going on?” Gar asked nervously, taking his gaze away from Rachel to look at everyone, and then back at Rachel.
“When were you gonna tell me you and Y/N were dating?” Rachel asked with a fake pout.
Gar opened his mouth to speak, but when he looked over at Dick, Kory, and Connor who were all invested with what was going on he quickly closed it.
“Don’t lie to me, Gar. You and Y/N have been all lovey dovey for a while now. Even more than Dick and Kory.”
“Hey!” Dick and Kory yelled out at the same time.
“Y/N and I aren’t together. We’re just very close. She was asleep on the couch last night, and I saw she was having a nightmare. Without thinking I somehow morphed into a dog and cuddled up next to her, hoping it would help, and it did. So, I decided to stay.”
“Does she know that you’re currently lying against her with your naked butt, because in some cases, that would be assault?” Rachel asked with an amused grin on her face.
Gar was now beet face red with embarrassment. “W-well, I clearly didn’t have the intention of morphing into a human while laying next to her. I just wanted to help her,” Gar stuttered. He stood up, taking the cover with him, to cover himself and unknowingly woke up the girl he was previously laying with.
Rachel gasped, “You like Y/N!”
It’s safe to say that Gar did not like the confrontation. His face was getting redder by the minute and his heart was beating at immense speed. He was scared to admit his feelings whether Y/N knew or not.
Gar hesitated for a moment, looking away from Rachel before looking back at her. “Okay! Yes, I like Y/N!” He blurted out, causing everyone to jump a bit before sending the boy a loving smile.
Unknowingly to everyone, Y/N was also smiling. Her eyes remained shut, but a small smile made its way onto her lips. The girl remained silent, waiting to hear more before revealing herself.
“Why don’t you tell her that,” Kory said, jumping into the conversation.
Gar looked down at his feet and shrugged. “I don’t know. Y/N is amazing. She’s an awesome fighter, she’s a talented singer, and she has the best taste in everything. I guess I just didn’t want to lose what I have with her. I honestly don’t deserve her, and if I told her how I feel, I wouldn’t be surprised if she rejected me.”
Rachel smiled and placed a hand on Gar’s naked shoulder, “Gar, you’re an amazing guy also, and I can tell you that Y/N sees that too.”
Gar’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. “Really?” He asked, earning a nod from Rachel. He turned to the other three and they sent him a nod also.
“Just think about it. I’m sure she won’t say no,” Rachel said, sending one last glance to Y/N before walking away with a huge smile.
Gar watched as the four of them left the room. Behind him, Y/N had finally opened her eyes and was now sitting up on the couch to face him.
“They’re right, you know?” Y/N spoke softly, making Gar jump and turn to face the girl. Her face illuminated with joy as she smiled up at him. “You are an amazing guy.”
Gar’s face scrunched up in confusion. “You heard all that?” Gar asked, pointing at the empty hallway where Rachel, Kory, Dick, and Connor all exited the room from.
Y/N nodded, “And I saw that cute little butt of yours.” She giggled as Gar tightened the cover around his body.
“I appreciate what you tried to do for me.”
The green haired boy scratched the back of his neck. “It was nothing,” he said. “I’d help any of you guys out.”
“But you morphed into a dog for me,” Y/N argued, her face beaming with pleasure.
“I don’t know how I did that,” Gar admitted with a scoff.
“Exactly.” Y/N stood from her spot on the couch. “I guess I also have some feelings I’d like to admit,” Y/N said, sheepishly.
“Oh. And what might that be?” Gar asked, nervously looking away from the girl.
Y/N stepped closer and boldly wrapped her arms around the boy’s neck. Gar turned back to face the girl, surprised by her actions. “I may or may not have been withholding my romantic feelings for you also,” she admitted.
Gar was taken aback by the girl’s confession, but it didn’t stop the large grin from appearing on his face. He went to hug her but was stopped by the cover that was covering his body from the girl’s eyes.
He cleared his throat, “Ahem! I was going to hug you, but I don’t think it would be appropriate seeing as it’s the only thing holding up the things covering up… you know what.”
Y/N looked away, a little shocked by Gar’s response before she began to laugh. She gave his chest a gentle pat and said, “Okay, how about you go get dressed and after, we can go see a movie?”
Gar nodded as Y/N released him from her hold so that he could go change. She watched as he began to leave the room, occasionally stumbling over the large cover, making the girl chuckle.
