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.

As a pansexual, I congratulate you, M. YOUVE MADE THE ORCA WOMAN ATTRACTIVE.... MORE THAN SHE WAS BEFORE
Hope y'all enjoyed the new Tethys the Orca Merfolk audio! Now I can finally share the art I was working on!
Part of the holdup from a May release was my tablet going on the fritz so I haven't been able to draw digitally for a hot minute x.x. Even had to get Obsidian Lantern to aid me to finish up the background and shading (THANK YOU AGAIN, OBI!!!)
I love the fact that Lumpu was repeatedly portrayed as Santa in the show so much that I got a headcannon. Every year, at night from December 24th to December 25th, Lumpy disguises himself as Santa Claus and quietly walks around all his friends, leaving them Christmas gifts. Everyone is already used to this strange tradition and play along with the Lumpy: they do not lock the doors, remove flowers from window sills, do not heat fireplaces at night, leave milk and cookies near the Christmas tree. Perhaps they should have warned Flippy about this tradition, and then he would not have had to drink additional sedatives and repair his canopy, but they must have gotten used to it so much that they stopped considering it something unusual. Lumpy tries to support faith in the miracle with his initiative, and all his friends appreciate it. And since Lumpy gives each of them two gifts (one in the image of Santa and one openly, at a Christmas party) then they give him the same amount, expressing gratitude.
And another headcanon, which I have expressed here (although I have already done it in «Brought Up by War»). Usually Flippy and Flipqy transfer body control to each other by mutual consent, but there is one curious point. If Flippy feels fear, any danger, a threat to his life and health, control passes into the hands of Fliqpy. This is a defense mechanism that was strengthened during the war, because it was Fliq who was the best on the battlefield. It works during PTSD attacks too. Yes, I wanted to keep something from the canonical rules, I find it interesting. Previously, they were very confused because of this acquired reflex and nervously switched back, but now, when they are used to each other and to their oddities and peculiarities so much that they cannot imagine themselves without them, the exchange of control seems to them a completely natural and simple element of their life, and they do not even find it necessary to comment on it even when it happens unconsciously. Perhaps, over time, this disturbing habit will weaken, as their calmness will strengthen.
Hmm... I'm not sure sure how Kaleb would react. He'd probably become a half fruit bat. I can see that.
ALFY ON THE OTHER HAND!
Since Alfy is already a deer halfblood, being human to him would be like the 2nd coming of christ. For as nervous as he gets due to being a halfblood, he does like being half deer. He'd probably panic and be like: "WHERE THE DIVINES DID MY TAIL GO!?", all while trying to get used to having feet and not hooves.
(The poor guy would definitely fall over at least twice)
Bug Army!
Your Bug is I dunno cursed by a wizard or something, and they are turned into a halfblood / demihuman!
What do they become? How do they react? What was that wizard's deal anyway?
d왤캐많은겨,,, ㄹㅇ추가할거 읎것지 ㅋㅋ ㅜ added as many as i could find ( probably) fingers crossed
Fanart of Obi, having a bit worse than usual day [honestly, not by much ))] Obi belongs to Obsidian Lantern. Well, this one took forever and a day… but I got to practice a few new things, like crystals and explosions [and nearly died drawing hands over and over and over…], so I’m happy.
Part 4 of my 'f*** you *ungators your boys*' joke.
I think this one came out okay, but the eye was a bit... ehhh
