UNDERAGE ALCOHOLISM

Being a content creator myself, we must always hold ourselves accountable on the way we portray content. if we truly care about representation then why do we do so little research on the canon poc but spend hours and hours and hours of research on fanon? rr’s canon is pretty shit and there is no arguing that, but we cannot simply be perpetuating the same cycle that rick has pushed upon us. we need to be better in not only portraying the characters of color visually but in how we talk about them in our headcanons (that’s for another post though lmao). 

for example, if you find yourself lowering the saturation/vibrance of a fancast of color for your aesthetic: question why you care more about your aesthetic? why are you so hellbent on making it “match” when brown and black skin are beautiful just the way they are. is it because pastel/grey scale is just one jump away from white? question yourself on the impact of colorism. why do you prefer lighter skinned fancasts? why do you go against canon to use a lighter skinned fancast?

for example, why are unidentified white people used for edits? why is reyna always a random girl with a braid? why is piper always a random girl with two braids? white people are defaulted 24/7! if you can’t visually show that piper is cherokee and reyna is puerto rican (aka proper fancasts) then what is the point? why is your “aesthetic” showcasing only white people?

for example, when you post an edit that interchanges poc and native ppl: are you implying that all poc snd native ppl are the same? regional/cultural differences do exist and when you ignore them, you are implying that you believe poc are interchangeable, and there is no need to understand the differences. 

for example, if you find yourself perpetrating the same stereotypes that rick riordan used in his descriptions: are you educating yourself? why do you need to use a dreamcatcher or feather in piper’s “moodboard”? why do you feel like hazel needs have “cinnamon” hair and gold eyes? why is frank infantilized and skinny? why is leo’s only characteristic based off of, “mamacita”? you have to think critically in the way you consume content, and yes, that means researching and educating yourself. in turn this will help you with portraying your content better visually and artistically. 

if you’re a content creator and you’re reading this and you feel called out and feel shitty: this is much more than your guilt. we are not exempt from call out, and just because I’m making this post doesn’t mean I am not either. if you feel like you have done this in the past, grow from it, research, and follow people of color!! (if you want a list, lmk)
