A suggestion for a resource for this weeks task: there is a show on (Canadian) Netflix called Blackstone I think and it's at least 90% indigenous actors (it's a drama about Indigenous life and stuff). Great for capping or iconning!
Roseanne Supernault (?) of Métis and Cree descent.
Justin Rain (?) of Cree decent.
Andrea Menard (?) Métis.
Go check out Blackstone - there’s a full list of cast members! I managed to find some sources for ethnicity that I’ve listed above but there are loads of other possible faceclaims that I imagine are super underused and under resourced. Thank you for the message, anon!
If anyone is having trouble with picking a person for Indigenous People's task, I recommend Alex Meraz. He is a Native American, and is sorely under-resourced.
Oooo, go check out Alex Meraz people! Thank you for the suggestion.
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month which is November! However, we’re taking this opportunity and extending this to celebrate indigenous people of the Americas so it includes: Inuit people, Yupik peoples, Aleut people, Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, First Nations, Métis, Indigenous Mexicans, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.There’s a masterlist below compiled of faceclaims, guides, and some non-roleplay related links such as ways to celebrate Native American Month and Native American owned businesses. Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever character or whichever project you desire. We’re excited to see what you make because despite there being some fantastic help blogs there’s still a lack of resources and lack of people using indigenous faceclaims in the roleplay community!
Any questions can be sent here and resources have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags!
OUR ADVICE
If you’re making resources of a faceclaim it’d be helpful if you listed what tribe(s) they’re from if such information is available and don’t whitewash - you can find several guides on our tutorial page!
THE TASK
STEP 1: Decide on a FC / media you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who / what are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick something for you at random!
STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!
STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating, unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)
STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.
