Sometimes things don’t work out, but that doesn’t mean we should give up!
wise words Obi👏
What advice do you have for an anyone trying to write poc characters more accurately?
Though I know it’s not up to minorities to educate the masses, I figured as an Afro-Latino creator you might have some helpful insight to share with us.
Best advise I can give is to write them as people. In this day an age there is a lot of criticism about how we should depict a race. And it doesn't help that the media has become so obsessed and meticulous about how we are supposed to portray people of color that they forget they are people. Not something that needs to be categorized and given subgroups. Yeah, it's not easy writing about ethnic cutlers, and most time I avoid it and write fantasy cuz I know I am going to miss something, and some one is going to get pissed about it. We are people, we are going to mess up. Heck, I've bin corrected of my own cultural background several times, both by my own people of the DR and those who have never stepped foot on the island (DR- Dominican Republic) What can you do but say hey, I'm sorry, I'm human. I'll try to remember next time. Writ however you see fit, however you think would satisfy YOU. That is the first step, then focus on the little things. It is nice to consider a characters cultural background, but if the story is about you living in the city while fighting off an alien invasion, who cares if you black, white, Hispanic, Asian or an Irish whitewashed vampire that moved to the stats and works nightshifts wearing Egyptian gothic fantasia robs with a white button up and slacks. Story is a story, just have fun with it.

Who's your favourite little conspiracy theorist? It's SIONA! From @latgbg!
For the amazing @starteas!
That makes... so much sense
Fast, Brunette Space boy with an undercut, who probably has daddy issues and is in trouble with the law, goes on a big ship to find a valued resource gets fucked up by his dumbass crew mates and has to be saved by a badass captain, becomes a hero and somehow a military official. The bad guys have something to do with maps (either the ship or the planet)
(Obviously I’m just kidding, these are both different, beautiful and complex characters, I just think it’s kinda funny how similar my first crush and current crush are)
lol. I am living for the comments under the official trailer video.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, Allison!
A humble little deer demon who bears a striking resemblance with the Radio Demon himself! Probably just a coincidence though haha! I’m sure…
I kind of been wondering what made Obi decide to become an Assasin or did the Cerulan soldiers train him to be an Assasin?
In a way, Obi did choose to become an Assassin but at the same time it was greatly influence buy his training in the academy.
im basically teaching myself to animate from scratch so you'll be getting a lot of these
