@creekfiend was very kind in sharing some writing resources with me, and I thought I'd pass along the kindness by listing them down below.

N.K. Jemisin's article 'Describing characters of color in writing'

Mary Anne Mohanraj's article on approaching characters of colour

Renee Harleston's article How to 'Write Characters of Color Without Using Stereotypes'

Working with Colour, a resource site for writers

the book Writing the Other by by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, which had a description that cut deep, because I've definitely fallen into this trap out of fear:

and then a video recommended by @sheprd (thank you!) about pitfalls in descriptive language

if anyone else has more resources to add, feel free to reblog with them! this is something I want to learn more about.

I was talking yesterday about how I should probably change the skin colour of a character in a not-yet-written book, because that character is a large, aggressive dragon-shifter and I was worried about her being read with unintentional and offensive subtext.

I haven't gotten my hands on Writing the Other yet (it's still in the mail!) but from reading my way through these articles and watching the Princess Weekes video, I now understand that 'white-ifying' a character you're worried about is a lazy and cowardly solution. so, if I do ever finish the book Eres loses Everything, I'll keep her as is, do my best to be thoughtful, and hire a sensitivity reader to pick out any blind spots.

thank you to everyone who passed on resources, I really appreciate it!

Just a big rant on my one Artfight vsmp OC because I'm going to implode just thinking about them

(rant + more art below)

Some sick ass art I recently drew of them

I keep leaning into a more painterly style and oh my god are they gorgeous

So they were originally meant to be a joke on 'what if there was a vampire who didn't know they were a vampire' when me and /@/casperarts were planning vsmp OCs on magma for a fansmp, and quickly spiraled into this idiot.

They've had health issues before, so when almost any food they ate tasted like ash or made them vomit, they thought they were just really, really sick.

In their mind they must be allergic to garlic, maybe even silver, and all mirrors around them are either broken or they are hallucinating, they might even be dyslexic since they are the only one who can't seem to read these holy books.

Just a huge mix of stupidity, denial and an unreliable narrator all in one.

No lore to this drawing, mostly perspective and background practice, the inspiration coming from one of my favorite fma openings

I've actually planned a bit of lore for how they turned but I'm keeping my mouth shut until the fanvsmp starts, because again, they are an unreliable narrator and also a pathological liar, I wouldn't trust this bastard with even my leftover pennies.

And these are mostly sketches to get a good vibe on their personality and how they express themselves which is mostly on the verge of tripping every few seconds and a huge ego with nothing to support it

when asked on how they see in the dark their response basically adds up to "I'm just better than yall"

this is a great time to point out that their whole design is inspired off of one singular character, Envy from fma my beloved. my favorite character of all time, the obsession with them never stopped but evolved instead

their left eye which gets progressively more distorted from stage 2 to 3 has to be one of my favorite features about them, along with the beauty marks they have on their face and body (mostly to match the stupid amount I have since they're my sona too)

---

there is no other OC, it's just them and I love them so much

fight me on art fight, I'll try locking in to do revenges and attack moots

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent
