white person with a self-assigned japanese name (pet peeve i have btw. no one ever talks abt it but why is it always japanese or korean? It Could Mean Nothing). not much by itself, but with everything, yk

thought i couldn't be queer bc i was asian and gave me the dirtiest look when i said so. supposedly very progressive in terms of lgbtqia+ awareness

also didn't think i could be mentally ill! also as a person who is supposedly very aware and progressive in this area

applied good-student and strict parent stereotypes to me and proceeded to go trauma olympics on this imaginary me's trauma for a whole year. and i mean genuinely, they would bring up how much worse their everything is compared to my supposed life. i would give them nothing and they would still keep going

i was a good student BECAUSE i was asian

felt entitled to, as the most innocent and oppressed person ever, to take their anger out on everyone disimilar to them including me, not even mentioning their tendency for "humorous" violence

when ppl think of asians, they often think of the East (n that's probably where this person got their stereotypes for me) but i often feel voiceless being so nearby and yet ignored, and i am happy this blog exists 😭🫶

he looks SO shocked and taken aback and goes “what did you just say? how do you know my name?” so i sit there for a moment trying to figure out what the fuck he is talking about, and then go, “…. bitch?” and he looks so relieved and tells me his name is mitch.

When coloring her in I realized that she might accidentally look like a racist caricature with the red beak (even though most black swans have red beaks).

I really don’t want her to appear racist in any way (she’s my baby!) so my question is- what do you guys think? Is the red beak a problem? What color should I switch it to if it is a problem?

(Do you have any pictures of black swans that have different colored beaks?)

Changing to a blue under tone, testing out adding a white tipped beak

Tried putting an orange beak on her but to be frank I don’t think it gives

Some suggested straightening the hair (which I’m not a massive fan of but if it needs to be done it needs to be done). To be honest I don’t like any of these very much.

Ideas for adding locs. Neither of these feel like Taniya to me though.

'hey we've been spying on you and tracking your every move. it's a culmination of state of the art technology and an unprecedented invasion of consumer privacy. a room full of men with made up jobs bent their will toward decades of constructing this system, defending it in court, and tirelessly innovating new ways to aggregate more data about you'

and the end result is

'yeah so uh we saw that you recently bought a car. so here's an ad for that car'

I mean full-on khaki-shorts-wearing, traversing-wilderness-with-nothin'-but-a-machete Adrian who yoinks snakes outta trees and pets swamp puppies and will unflinchingly dig around in elephant faeces for signs of a rare parasitic tapeworm if needed.

Oh, humans eat socially? No problem, Adrian has observed many many animals eat. Did you know that an obscure species of small underground dirt creature from the north side of Erid also eats socially? Adrian can give you a not-so-short presentation on them.

Oh, the human has no external carapace and so its internal sounds are absurdly loud, wet and off-putting? No problem, Adrian was just conducting an expedition last month researching the incredible eridian animal, the Wet Loud Worm from the south-east region of Wet Loud Wormland. They're desensitised, it's fine.

Oh, Grace leaks often from many orifices and it can be a bit of a learning curve to get used to? No problem for Adrian, see Wet Loud Worm paragraph again!
