this is a comic my dear friend @wolf-aid had made using batman both because he’s a very dear character to me and because we are hoping that a popular character will bring more attention to the comic itself.
the comic says most of what i can say already — but i’ll say it again. ibrahim is an incredibly sweet young man who i’ve been close friends with for a few months now. he and his family need help to be warm, to eat, to get medicine, and to survive — hopefully soon they can escape their awful circumstances.
please have a heart: donate what you can, reblog this post, and pay attention to ibrahim’s campaign.

Technically we don’t know who Haru’s mother is yet but come on.. if it’s someone other than Natsumi I’ll be a bit sad 😭
Regardless he wouldn’t look like his mother because fuck women ig
The association
Redrew their adult versions bc I really need to diversify unique features while also portraying their personalities... Which while I think it's an improvement, I don't think I've quite nailed it yet. May rework some of the minor features, particularly the eyes.
Some notes on the design choice:
Jacques & Kit - they're twins halves of the same whole to me, so they have the same face, just different vibes. Jacques is supposed to give the impression of a cool, strict, if a lil cold older brother, while Kit is the more carefree, also cool, affectionate older sister.
Lemony - I added scars from when Stew beat him up. His eyes are the same as his siblings.
Moxie - Other than polishing up the structure of her face and adding freckles, I think I really got her right from the get-go. 10/10 no further notes.
Cleo - She's supposed to look intimidating and regal, her hair is meant to evoke a "queen". She looks fierce, but she's nicer than she looks.
Jake - when he was younger, his hair is curlier and down, now he has it styled. He's meant to look friendly.
Ellington - doesn't look mysteriously enough ngl, but she does have femme fatale vibes. Kinda.
Lizzie - literally just Hedy Lamarr in terms of face. I really want a look that screams "STARLET", so she's the prettiest/most elegant looking here.
Kellar - my intention for him is that bc of his harried and anxious nature, he gives off the impression of being unapproachable and unpleasant.
Squeak - the youngest of the group, he grew up but still maintaining that core mischievousness. He looks a lot like Pip.
Pip - forgot to draw his glasses, anyways he looks more of a refined gentleman here bc he's now officially a librarian, a prestigious job.
Ornette - meant to look classy, enigmatic, and amiable. Perfect for a hotel proprietor.
if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.
you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.
even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on
do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?
i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate
anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend
The way I know those PJO fans were lying about "we just want book accuracy" in regards to Leah's casting as Annabeth is bc they didn't complain nearly as much for anyone else in the cast
Percy being blonde? A little bit here or there but acceptance in the end
Grover? Literally nothing for miles about how Aryan's Indian
Luke Castellan? Charlie Bushnell is Japanese, Irish, and Costa Rican, but no one ever said that he wasn't book accurate
Chiron is Black. Did you complain about that?
Y'all can take your "we want the looks to be like the books!" and shove it up your ass. You're just being racist toward Leah
