it would be safer for you. for me.

Bucky, who spent most of life helping Steve get by with his 900 disabilities and illnesses: we don’t have universal healthcare by now?

Me, googling this information frantically: Okay now you guys have GOT to be fucking with me, there’s NO way he could’ve actually–

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site

Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns. 

Freepik has anything from textures to layered psds, icons and so much more that is actually free to use.

Unsplash is a community of photographers which provides daily content that you can use! You don’t have to credit them but you should. They’re amazing.

Icons8 is basically a library of icons and icon sets, they have a little over 60,000 icons for you to choose from.

SHADOW AND BONE (2021-) | “The Heart is an Arrow” (1x06)

there is absolutely nothing wrong with being sexual. it's a very valid defense mechanism, and we can see M uses it to hide their vulnerability. this isn't what my post is about.

my main problem is with how white fans will take a character of colour like m and reduce them to an oversexualised version of themselves. it's hurtful as a poc to see this happen, because our only representation either has us thrown under the bus, villainised or oversexualised and exoticised.

this isn't the only problem i have with m's portrayal by the fandom + writer. this issue also concerns F, but i am so tired of seeing these two being equated to animals.

it's dehumanising. there are other ways you can show a vampire's nature without using animal descriptors. you don't see A being used with nearly the same amount of descriptors. ffs, M is literally described as UB's "attack dog". i don't think i need to explain that one.

this is not good representation.
