Anonymous asked: I think I was interested in Bolin's "stereotyping" because of all the "OMG! Korra just has a tan!!! Skin color is not a big deal!" comments on tumblr. I like the idea of another character in the show acknowledging darker skin (and not a tan). In any case, I read too much into it 'cause I just rewatched the episode and he only points out her clothes. BTW, I saw that...

I’m just watching A:TLA right now, and my memory could be off, but I’m pretty sure in an episode where Aang and company come across a village’s Fire Nation festival, there are dark-skinned...

Anonymous asked: Did you watch Legend of Korra? I just watched the premiere on TV, and something funny happened. Bolin appeared to have stereotyped Korra as a waterbender because of the way she looked. I can't remember if it was only for her clothes or her skin color. I only bring this up because in the first series I was always confused as to how Katara and Sokka could disguise themselves as someone from the...
madgeekyworld asked: ::grin:: Point. I need to lay off rabid fangirls. Been spending too much time in fandom lately, I think. ;) I think your point about the not wanting to think about your entertainment is probably right on the nose. I mean look at all the books I read each year. It's not like I put a lot of critical thought into most of them. I'm looking for easy escapism. 500DoS is all technicolor and...

lev-y replied to your post: Dude, Tom was a schmuck. That said, I think we’re so trained at this point to root for the protagonist of whatever media we’re indulging in (books, movies, whatever,) that it can be difficult for some people to accept that, yeah, no, that character deserved the crap that rained down on them. Combine that with the pretty that is JGL and I’m not surprised there’s a rabid...
freekicks asked: hi, we don't even know each other but maybe i feel like you were at witching hour? anyway, i just wanted to chip in my own experience of watching "500 days of summer" -- i saw it with a group of guys, one of whom i had dated in the past. and they ALL identified with tom and hated on summer.... i never told my ex, but listening to him and his friends excoriate a girl for having...

luanna255 replied to your post: Do you see any similarities between “500 Days of Summer” and “Great Expectations?” (not sure if you’ve seen/read the latter). Both deal with disillusioned men in love with women who constantly tell them that they can never be together, and yet I feel like the audience is usually more sympathetic to the men (like I used to be.)
Haven’t seen 500 Days of Summer, but...

wow wtf is this anon
LOL I’m pretty sure they thought I was someone else who took badly to my rant about LoK being not-white. Or something. I dunno! *kanye shrug*
ahandsomeshark asked: I saw your post about 500 days of summer and just wanted to add my two cents. I was honestly shocked when I realized people watched it and felt bad for Tom. I literally thought the entire movie was about a guy who was incapable of learning, and of letting go of the idea of the manic pixie dream girl. And that that was the intended interpretation. I felt bad for him after the movie but only because...

do you remember where that tutorial was? because I’d love to reblog it. it’s not an issue on my dash because there aren’t a lot of folks reblogging fanart, but still, attribution is important.

Trust me, this is an INCREDIBLE thing. I’ve been oohing and awwing over your work since early HP days of yore, and it’s so nice to see one of my favourite artists transition over to another fandom I love. Welcome
NO WAY!!! HOORAY! I know what you mean; I don’t really participate in a lot of the newer fandoms, lolol. I consume a lot of pop culture, but I...

Quick Tutorial On Drawing Characters of Color →
damnlayoffthebleach:
“WHY IS THIS RELEVANT? In terms of most fanart, there is a dearth of visualized characters of colour. I think the main exception to that is perhaps manga/anime fandoms (I say ‘perhaps’, given how many debates there are about the ethnicities of manga characters); but for me, it’s still not enough. Fanwriters have been batting this topic back and forth for a while now. When...
