1.Genetic diversity can and does exist without major phenotypic variation (see: africans are the most diverse “race” [i put in quotations because race is not biologically real but is a social construct that exists and affects us] but have limited common phenotypic variation)

2. Do NOTTT cite the 0.00001 instances of asian people having blodne hair/blue eyes to me.

3. I KNOW artemis is half white/biracial but that simply isnt how genetics work. Black hair and black eyes are dominant over blonde and blue. And i know genetics are weird and sometimes mixed people are born with different hair/eye colors but artemis had DARK DARK BROWN/black eyes and blonde hair past puberty. That pairing simply does not exist, like not even in white people. At least not to sny dtatistical significance.

4. There is an observed pattern of feeling the need to give poc characters white-afjacent/lighter features to make them more aesthetically pleasing. I think thats lame and should change .more poc characters should be añlowed to look unambiguously poc. (And i know artemis is only half poc but pls understsnd my point.)

5. They clearly wanted to keep her blonde hair as a callbsck to whatever comic character dhe was inspired by. Thats fine. Do you know the extremely easy solution here? MAKE IT CLEAR HER HAIR WAS BLEACHED/DYED. Show child!art with a more realistic hair color!!! I MEAN CAHM ON MAN.

6. I know i know its not same grand racist conspiracy on why shes blonde and not brown haired (brown hair instead of black couldve been a cool way to signify her mixed heritage snd show hiw she takes after her dad looks wise more than jade.) but BEAR WITH ME FOR A SEC. HUMOR ME. LET IR BE THAT DEEP, i BEG YOU. I just wish her heritage was considered more when they crafted her character design. Thas all. Natural brunette artemis is so real to me. Ok.

BONUS; on a more postive note- i think they thought more in depth about the crock-nguyen family’s mixed heritage when creating Lian. She has reddish sorta strawberry blonde hair. You may ask why im not bitching that jades black hair should be dominant over roys red. Well bestie thatd because recessive genetixs where B = Black and b = blonde and jsde as a biracial person id Bb. Because the B is doninant its what shows but she still has the blonde gene. She had equal chances of passing on the black or blonde gene snd happened to pass fown the blonde to lian. I think thats cool.

Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk follow for more YJ yap and general dumbassery ily

Harry x Luna - yeah so this is my canon. I never talk about them because they’re sacred to me in a way I can’t handle others criticising PLEASE DONT ASK ME ABOUT THEM (I won’t shut up)

Harry x Hermione - I know they fucked in that tent and I’m content with the fact that I know it haunts them more than me.

Jason (Grace) x Nico DiAngelo - what could’ve happened if Rick actually liked Jason 💔

Jason (Todd) x Musa - literally nobody cares but I wish someone would write about them omgod

Leo Valdez x Calypso - mostly in a “what the HELL was that about” sort of way
