oh man i totally understand on the closet fan thing :''''D i've def been distancing myself a bit. it's such a huge fandom, and we're getting more and more youngin's that are.... young. and haven't quite figured out how to be decent humans on the internet yet, lmfao. but i've made some really excellent friends through it, so it'll always be special to me and i have very fond memories *u*
yooOOOO race headcanons are the best!! i've found the hs fandom to be mostly good about that kind of stuff? you'll get your wankers, for sure, but i've never gotten any backlash for it or anything. i always really liked the Filipino headcanons I saw for Jake and Jade! and I've seen a bunch of black Daves probably mostly due to ... and now ofc i can't find much art of it anywhere wOW dA likes white dave (BUT LOOK AT THESE DAVE SHIMEJI I FOUND fav.me/d64snx7 that's the basic design i was talkin about, at least) i first saw that dave during one of the summer world cup events, i think. they didn't have it this year, i was so sad :/
hehe, jade is usually my go-to when i feel like doodlin the homestucks. i just love her grimbark and godtier designs *u* also jade + solarpunk au? hell yesssssss

yhh like one of my best friends rn is probably indirectly due to homestuck TToTT the homestuck phase was a good time. makes me feel nostalgic sometimes ahaha
and omg yes!! there's this artist in particular that i remember on tumblr (cant recall the username) but they had such good multiracial art and doodles all the time it was 10/10
one time there was drama when someone was like oh why are none of them white blah blah stop making characters black/asian/whatever when theyre not
which...is rly annoying tbh :/ even if the kids were canonically white, drawing them as poc has no harm whatsoever a great way to weed out racist followers though lol
I love love filipino jake and jade <33 black jade too tbh *heart eye emoji* also jade has killer thighs and nothing can convince me otherwise
I like to think john has some asian in him too - maybe korean
i've been seeing more of black dave these days which is fab *o* ngl he looks so cute omg those shimejis :'D
i like the pasty skinny white kid lol and the black dave (the HaIR omg B^))
grimbark is so
i can't believe i havent done the obligatory jade in her 3am dress art yet
solarpunk au??? tell me more
btw is that mako in your icon

technically, Hussie intended the characters to be a "blank slate" racially, I think? Which is absolutely not the way to handle that kind of thing, but at least the "they're canonically white!!!" excuses are kind of bs. people overwhelmingly defaulted to white headcanons, which i understand even tho it sucks, but technically it's not actually canon. At least, i think that was Hussie's goal? A+ for intentions, low C for execution. he seems to have learned from it tho, so that's something, and the discussion that's come out of it has been worth it, i think. altho the way whatpumpkin handled the tarot cards, with the overwhelming portrayals of the kids as white, and then not doing anything about it when people complained, was. v not good. but they're trying i guess??
omg Jade with killer thighs. yes. all of the yes. and asian john!!! i've def seen asian john before and i completely approve 100% but pasty white dave just suits him so? well???? i can't help seeing him that way sometimes eh heh. but i do love me some variety, and it's rad that there are more versions of him now. OH WOW YOU SHOULD DEF DO 3AM JADE!! jade + space, actual otp forever. or jade + science? but space IS part of science. so both? both.
you haven't seen any solarpunk discussion??? oh man, it's been gaining a little momentum i must link you to stuff!!! bc i can't explain it as well as the posts i've seen haha (sry im primarily on tumblr these days so all this will be from there)

and a silly jadekat thing i drew for my friend a while ago tmblr.co/Z3-BTw1YffWv8
BUT YEAH that's basically solarpunk!! such a nice aesthetic. and i love the like, Second Wave of Solarpunk that's less utopian and a lil more utilitarian, like What This Would Actually Look Like and problems that might arise with a little more gritty/dirty hands mixed in while still maintaining the eco-friendly base, and, yeah. just. good things
omg how did this post get so long i def talk too much wow. AND YEAH THAT IS TOTALLY MAKO MORI i've been on a pacrim kick lately cause i'm working with a group to do a set of pacrim themed tarot cards???? you should totally give it a look, the kickstarter should be going up soon: SHAMLESS PLUG pacificarcana.tumblr.com/ also like. please don't feel like you gotta read everything i've linked obviously, i'm just throwing stuff at you all willy nilly 'cause i think it's cool :')

oh totally, back when i first started reading in.... i think 2010 or 2011 i defaulted that way, too. and i think even more of the fanart lacked diversity. but it's nice to see more variety now! i put a conscious effort into trying to undo all that learned stuff, and i think that's the important bit, honestly.
i have seen sO many cool fanon knight designs!!! and godtier designs in general. the fandom is so big, and there's sooooo much talent in it oh mang
oh god yea tumblr is sUCH a time sink it's awful, lmfao. and apparently they're putting out another terrible update today :'''') but i've found some cool blogs to follow, and i like the variety of content that shows up on my dash? i really enjoy the mix of like. pretty pictures + fandom meta + fic + some politics and sj discussion, and stuff. i should def limit how much time i spend there tho it's sO DANGEROUS AUGH
oh gosh yea drift compatibility / pale romance is my JAM !!!!!! it's my actual favorite thing in the world i'm so glad they e x i s t *screeches from the rooftops*
