SoLDN: We’ve already received word that the artist that made this whitewashed pic of Kida is working on a corrected version ^_^

And we’ll post that shit  on fanart Friday 

If you do submit redone whitewashed work, can you please tag it “corrected” so we know its a corrected whitewashed piece.

SoLDN: ALSO

I saw mentioned on my dash a few days ago

While we do encourage racebending, it would be nice if we gave PoC characters that already exist some shine on fanart Friday, especially the ones that aren’t known 

Having more variety on fanart Friday and discover more PoC characters to love

^_^

SoLDN: We will post corrected whitewashed pics (for fanart friday) and reference that X artist corrected their whitewashed piece

We have no problem doing this. We have posted corrected work in the past and will continue to do so

If your work has been featured for whitewashing, you can submit and we’ll post it :)

SERIOUSLY! 

WE DO THIS! YOU CAN REDEEM YOUR SELF! 

SoLDN:

THE SUBMISSION BOX IS ALSO CLOSED! EVERYTHING IS CLOSED 

BRHood: So, we got a few asks that I rightfully ignored asking us what “basic” meant. And, in the DLOTB tag (because people still think they should bitch about us and then tag it; like we AIN’T tracking the fucking tag), someone also questioned what it means.

While a few people who asked are not trolls or even bad people (in fact, they are followers who often give support), the question itself is the epitome of “basic.”

Now, without using the white-man’s dictionary to define basic, let’s think of how we use the word “basic” in everyday non-black/AAVE language. Because if we THOUGHT about how we use the term ‘basic” and it’s variants, it should take all of 2 seconds to know what we’re saying when we call someone “basic.”

So, when you first start learning things, you have to learn the “basics.” When someone simplifies what you may have said, you may respond “basically.” Or, to simplify something in general, you’ll say “basically.” For example:

In the context of racism, there is a power aspect that prevents certain groups from being victims of racism. Those at the top of said hierarchy can never face racism due to being the ones with the most power and privilege. BASICALLY, because white people are the ones in power, they will never face racism.

See how the first two sentences were more fleshed out while the last sentence just says what I said in those first sentences only quicker and simplified? That’s what “basically” means; it means we’re about to break this down in terms even a middle student can understand.

So when we call someone “basic,” we are telling you that you are not on our level of thinking. We’re over here talking about things that are beyond your level of comprehension. We’re learning SAT words while you’re trying to get the hang of your ABC’s. We’re finding out limits using derivatives while you’re still trying to remember your times tables.

You’re trying to look at things on a basic level of understand that prevents you from even beginning to grasp what we’re talking about. BASICALLY, we’re saying you’re not on our level.

Now that you know what “basic” means, the next step is learning how to not be basic. My only advice is get on our level. Or spend your time crying because what we’re spitting is too much for you to understand.

Don’t be basic bitches, y’all.

This has been a post.

BRHood: So, we got a lot of messages going

“OMG NO ACTIVITY WHAT’S GOING ON ARE YOU GUYS OKAY HOLY SHIT COME BACK TO US WE LOVE YOU AND OUR LIVES ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT YOU.”

<.<

Okay, maybe not that extreme. Lol.

But I was taking a break anyway.

Idk what them other mods was doing.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Haha. But this is a post to basically say BRHood is back.

Why didn’t I stay away longer?

Cuz shit, I lost my swag.

Some fucked up shit when down the other night.

So I need something to help get my swag back.

Cuz if I wake up and my swag don’t turn on, then nothin’s up, right?

Okay, I’ll stop being silly now.

Btw, typing with fake nails is hard as shit. I obviously love y’all if I’m doing this. Waaaah. #fabfemmeswithswagproblems

And now back to your Fanart Friday!

SoLDN: So why is the opposite needed? 

ITS NOT!

EVER!

The skin colour of real human beings isn’t a costume and darkening your skin to look like dark skin POC comes with a horrible history.

This isn’t hard :/

SoLDN: I’m out

I have stuff to pack and i think i’ve de-cluttered our ask box enough for one day 

SoLDN: Fan art Friday has come to an end :( 

I extended it because i was out all day and as a mod, i’ll do what i like (lol, not really though) 

We have loads of wonderful stuff for next Friday and though i’m a Korra fan, its nice to see more than just Korra stuff. While i tell people to RACEBEND ALL THE THINGS— If you’re an artist, don’t be afraid to submit some fanart of characters that don’t get any lime light. I’d love to learn about more characters of colour :D there are tumblrs out there highlight POC in the media to give you an idea if you’re stuck

If you submit your own work PLEASE put a link to your deviant art page and or tumblr so we can give you credit.

General rule on submitting original characters: Its ok to submit it but it needs to be fan art of something to count as “fanart Friday” 

I’ll be going on a break for about a month

Cause I’m beginning to hate everyone (more than usual anyway)

You all will be in the very very capable hands of four beautiful mods

They will treat you right

Love you slowly

Tenderly

Caress your interests and 

Slap a bitch who thinks it’s cool to fuck with you and your intelligence

Buh bye <3
