the burglar and his ramen
Toby Fox just beamed me a message right into my brain and it says that all human children in the Undertale and Deltarune universes need to get a gender license and that's actually why they're all nonbinary.
i dreamt that i drew this. aura
In 2025, We are no longer accepting the white character design with a vague brown tan/ashy dark skin, a slight curl pattern, and no/limited specific background as an "of color"! The "I'm Not Racist, Here's My Brown Character that Represents ALL Acceptable Melanin™" category has been permanently cancelled! If you are uncomfortable hearing this, know I am talking to you- and that's okay!
This year and henceforth, we encourage the creation of unambiguously Black characters! There is no shame in it- from your choice of features*, to your choice of cultural background. There are plenty of ways to make it known that your Black character... Is supposed to be Black!
(*Blackness runs the range of physical appearance- it's not just skin color! It's an identity!)
If you feel your character cannot be identifiably Black without concern for your "skill" or your "popularity", it is time to look within- and I have an entire blog dedicated to offering you resources and reflection during such a task!
Happy New Year- let's all choose to be more intentional creators this year! 💝
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!
