No, of course not! It's a great and important analysis!

There were similar tags on the original post, and I reblogged to highlight them too, because they're true. I'm kind of expecting some backlash over my original post, since I didn't really consider the racial aspect from the start or how important it would be to the dynamics of that specific role swap. I just casually swapped their roles without thinking it all the way through (tbh, the idea was sparked by some random photos of the actors wearing clothes that looked more like the other character's style; and I absolutely love Carl & Grace together, so… yeah.) I do feel bad about not approaching it more thoughtfully, but I can't turn back time. What I can do is support the meaningful discussion that came out of my, unfortunately, not-so-meaningful post—and do better in the future.

hi calvin! thank you for the ask 💓

11. Which OCs do you feel like you know the best?

oh that’s definitely gotta be my boy javi!!! 🧡 i originally conceived him during early pandemic as a mass effect oc for a 1x1 rp and over the years that has sprawled out into like a dozen AUs 😌

he's my chaotic, impulsive sagittarius sunshine baby boy 🥹 he's a military brat n7 vanguard, quit the alliance bc he got fed up with the bureaucracy leading up to the reaper war, and grew a reputation as a robin hood space pirate in the aftermath. i feel like i know him the best bc he's the character i've written the most for + all the diff aus mean i was swimming around in his head in every different kind of setting/dynamic

i have some fics published for him here 🥰

29. Talk about an OC you don't talk about much.

my vampire ancient, harionna! another oc i conceived for a 1x1 rp. i based her off of the japanese myth about the harionago, a female ghoul that can use her hair as sharp, deadly barbs. was very castlevania pilled when i wrote her fight scenes way back when hahaha
