Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
WIP‼️‼️I wonder who it is🤔....
I love her, and i wished so much that she was in LMK
The Aunt-Nephew Bond between these two is what i want.
hi besties. First thing (this is relevant) I'm black. Good old African American yippee
Ok.
Let's talk about Chinese erasure.
LMK is a retelling/revisioning of a NUMBER of Chinese Mythologies. Most focused of being Journey to The West a story mostly focused around Sun Wukong.
Now. I have seen, so much fanart, fanworks, headcanons, character redesignes that change the characters from yellow legos (the legos actual colors NOT the fact they are Asian we're not doing that) to more realistic/human looking characters. And a lot of the time these include making these characters Black/Blasian.
Now first of all: I'm not talking about..i think its October? The October challenge to redraw characters as Black/African. I'm talking about art and work just year round.
Hey, first of all, I love that people are drawing more POC characters. But can you make these characters THE RIGHT FUCKING RACE?
The characters in LMK (Redson especially i see so much shit of him being black) are CHINESE they are CHINESE MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS/RETELLING OF SAID CHARACTERS. They are NOT black.
I love seeing the representation and people learning to draw POC characters but please please do it with characters who arent as culturally significant as those from LMK. There's most of the Steven Universe Characters, there's any white characters from media NOT based in mythology you can draw as black but please please please do not forget
LMK is in China.the characters are Chinese. Draw them as such. Learn to draw Chinese characters and hairstyles.
please 🙏 Chinese culture deserves the amount of respect and time your putting into ours
Edit: I am not saying drawing them with tan skin is bad. Chinese people can be tan. but if you give them fucking braids and cornrows aka: black protective hairstyles then your just erasing their ethnicity aka: FUCKING CHINESE.
also please reblog! Tumblr doesn't have an algorithm like other sites so if this spreads it has to spread through reblogging so please do

art for @kyri45 LMK AU again (this is a WIP)
l decided to animate these panels from @kyri45 LMK AU comic
Before anyone freaks out, that's not Huan. Now we know who won the genetic lottery.
I was just sitting at my desk, drowning in assignments and projects, when an intrusive thought just bonked my brain. So, have this very messy sketch of what Huan's mom looks like.
Check the tags
Thank you, @stubbet, for giving me this brainrot that now takes up half of my headspace. Huan is the golden retriever to Nezha grumpy cat personality (literally).
I want to call this sub au "Guard Dog" or "Obliviousness" but both names kind of seem on the nose. Comment your suggestions!
This is a fun little au that really digs into Huan's obliviousness (empty-headed) that Nezha commented on in Adoration. They are no longer married in the au but instead dating!
Both Huan and Nezha look different because I like to change up characters look for different au. I want to be able to tell which au they belong to. (It is not because I wanted to give Huan a new hairstyle or anything.)
Hey @keykittygirl and @daydreamnightshade, I turn the flower boy into a cat!
Someone is not ready for their “Divorce Arc”

Did this during class time. I ready should be paying attention to my lecture but oh well.
Ribbons choosing

If you can’t read what the moths say:
"Mother said she didn't mind."
"So hush."
Opal in the back just enjoying being able to pick out ribbons for her friend.
Don't mind the moth babies, Yang. They are just impatient.
