kiss of life

[hellyeah-shlondpoofa]

Lets talk about the dumbassery of artemis crock, a half vietnamese character, having natural blonde hair. DONT start at me with the “aSiAN PeOplE aRe DiVeRsE” and “GeNeTicS ArE WeIrD.” BOTH are true BUT.

1.Genetic diversity can and does exist without major phenotypic variation (see: africans are the most diverse “race” [i put in quotations because race is not biologically real but is a social construct that exists and affects us] but have limited common phenotypic variation)

2. Do NOTTT cite the 0.00001 instances of asian people having blodne hair/blue eyes to me.

3. I KNOW artemis is half white/biracial but that simply isnt how genetics work. Black hair and black eyes are dominant over blonde and blue. And i know genetics are weird and sometimes mixed people are born with different hair/eye colors but artemis had DARK DARK BROWN/black eyes and blonde hair past puberty. That pairing simply does not exist, like not even in white people. At least not to sny dtatistical significance.

4. There is an observed pattern of feeling the need to give poc characters white-afjacent/lighter features to make them more aesthetically pleasing. I think thats lame and should change .more poc characters should be añlowed to look unambiguously poc. (And i know artemis is only half poc but pls understsnd my point.)

5. They clearly wanted to keep her blonde hair as a callbsck to whatever comic character dhe was inspired by. Thats fine. Do you know the extremely easy solution here? MAKE IT CLEAR HER HAIR WAS BLEACHED/DYED. Show child!art with a more realistic hair color!!! I MEAN CAHM ON MAN.

6. I know i know its not same grand racist conspiracy on why shes blonde and not brown haired (brown hair instead of black couldve been a cool way to signify her mixed heritage snd show hiw she takes after her dad looks wise more than jade.) but BEAR WITH ME FOR A SEC. HUMOR ME. LET IR BE THAT DEEP, i BEG YOU. I just wish her heritage was considered more when they crafted her character design. Thas all. Natural brunette artemis is so real to me. Ok.

BONUS; on a more postive note- i think they thought more in depth about the crock-nguyen family’s mixed heritage when creating Lian. She has reddish sorta strawberry blonde hair. You may ask why im not bitching that jades black hair should be dominant over roys red. Well bestie thatd because recessive genetixs where B = Black and b = blonde and jsde as a biracial person id Bb. Because the B is doninant its what shows but she still has the blonde gene. She had equal chances of passing on the black or blonde gene snd happened to pass fown the blonde to lian. I think thats cool.

Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk follow for more YJ yap and general dumbassery ily

Platonic pairings + ships that keep me up at night:

Roy & Peter & Jason (Todd) - prime example of that insane enabler + high functioning alcoholic + weed dealer trio you know peripherally on campus. Like the statistics they share between them 😭 I’d like to think they’re recovering but they’re always getting into some bullshit you’d have to really fuck around to find out LMAO

I think about their antics all the time 💔

Reyna & Jason (Grace) - I know she moved on to the hunters and I don’t necessarily ship them but I find them so tragic like…Jason is a closeted gay to me but even then I always felt like the love and respect he had for Reyna just sort of vanished at some point in HoO?? Like they never interacted meaningfully in the series even though we’re told they’re supposed to be so close and the erasure just feels sinister. The betrayal she felt was so justified and they kinda made her look petty for it!!

Like the love of her life and lowkey situationship just came back with a random gf. The tension - the misunderstandings on both parties - and if there was a reveal that he could never have loved either of them in the way they wanted??!! Crazy. Like yes Jason was her best friend and greatest love - but he wasted crucial years of her life letting her agonising over something that could’ve never been. But at the same time the duty she represented, the unwavering esteem she held him to & the expectations of those around them that crushed him meant Jason could never really tell her. I think they would’ve had a lot of complicated feelings I wish they unpacked 💔

Dick x Artemis - like every night. I’m awake and I just. Can’t sleep. They’re chemistry- haunts. It’s like the equivalent of the internalised homophobia tag to me. I’ve been conditioned to hate friends to lovers for so long and unlearning it has made me reevaluate how I feel about other ships I dismissed earlier. Like damn maybe I actually fucked with this on the low I just didn’t have the language to express that 💔

Harry x Luna - yeah so this is my canon. I never talk about them because they’re sacred to me in a way I can’t handle others criticising PLEASE DONT ASK ME ABOUT THEM (I won’t shut up)

Harry x Hermione - I know they fucked in that tent and I’m content with the fact that I know it haunts them more than me.

Jason (Grace) x Nico DiAngelo - what could’ve happened if Rick actually liked Jason 💔

Jason (Todd) x Musa - literally nobody cares but I wish someone would write about them omgod

Leo Valdez x Calypso - mostly in a “what the HELL was that about” sort of way

like Leo my love please stand up 😭 calypso is an avid ihatmybf tag reposter and it’s nawwttt a joke to her please 😭 GET OUT OF THERE
