You can support me on ko-fi ✨, I'm doing commissions !
me too but also we all know that the representation of the characters of color in the books are pretty……how to say, shit? so for each character, I’ve listed out a bunch of recommendations. there are a couple of characters that have a varied list of recommendations due to how vague rick made his characters. for example, while piper is Cherokee and hazel is Louisiana Creole, there are also recommendations outside of that. POC are not interchangeable btw, rr is just rly vague with descs lmao.
If you have any recommendations that are not included in this list, do not hesitate to reach out! I’m happy to make edits for each character and while, I made this list with my trusted sources, i still make mistakes!! a part 2 can always happen so if u don’t see ur favs…do not worry lol
All my recommendations are a collection of middle grade, young adult, adult sff/fantasy, and adult romance!

i was inspired by this post
also here’s the full cover art
probably what I love most about young justice is how it perfectly conveys how fucking extra the bats are. like yeah that guy has gills and that guy’s a clone and she’s from fucking mars but y’know who’s an actual trip? y’know who’s an absolute goddamn nightmare?
Robin.
he’s not an alien. he doesn’t have any meta abilities. by all accounts he is a 13 year old child except his dad is fucking batman and he has all this custom built tech and crazy acrobatic skills and sometimes he just fucking vanishes without a word. like none of the team could even tell you what colour his eyes are and that is just the way he likes it.
the fucking bats man
consider: nico without the emo fashion
“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”
From Batman Files.
DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS.
So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

@pscentral event 02: comedy ↳ glee but it’s just the lines i quote daily
i am a woman. i am a lesbian. i have a penis. i am dysphoric about my penis. even if i wasnt, i would be allowed to enjoy having sex with it! and my lesbian sexual partners would be allowed to enjoy it too.
being a lesbian is about loving women–even if those womens bodies have penises, or flat chests, or deep voices, or adams apples, or facial hair.
claiming that being a lesbian is about hating penises, or liking vaginas, or breasts, or anything other than loving women regardless of what their bodies are like, is disrespectful not just to trans lesbians everywhere, but to all lesbians whose bodies dont fit what society tells us women have to be, regardless of whats in their pants.
women are more than their vaginas. women are more than their bodies. women are a wonderful and diverse group of people with bodies that are as diverse as any other group. you cant ignore that, no matter what shitty ideas about womens bodies you subscribe to.
