The Friends of the ABC
A Group Which Barely Missed Becoming Historic

• Bossuet

“He was poor, but his fund of good humor was inexhaustible. He soon reached his last sou, never his last burst of laughter. When adversity entered his doors, he saluted this old acquaintance cordially, he tapped all catastrophes on the stomach; he was familiar with fatality to the point of calling it by its nickname: “Good day, Guignon,” he said to it.”

“I see Artemis Crock from Young Justice getting whitewashed a lot - she’s half-Vietnamese and clearly has brown skin, but people seem to like casting pale white actresses because she’s blonde. So I made a “fancast” for her! I found some biracial actresses and models who I thought resembled her. They obviously don’t resemble her in every respect, but I thought it was interesting enough, especially since I’ve legitimately never seen an Artemis fancast who isn’t really really white.”

Quick sketch of Korra, loosely based on Q’orianka Kilcher.

We Can Do It!

I did it! I managed to complete this drawing! :D

I really had no motivation to continue on this piece yesterday night when I was sketching on it. The colours kept mixing into this huge lump of messyness and I just felt like giving up. Thankfully I had Oishi telling me to finish it and that it didn’t actually look all that bad.

Today I gave up on trying to be someone I’m not when colouring (I had earlier been trying out different colouring techniques but nothing seemed to work for me) and at last I just did it on my own way, which felt a lot more comfortable for me and it was going very smoothly too - and soon I had something that I could look upon and feel the pride of “yes, this is my doing, and I like it.”

Okay anyways, here’s a “quick” description of what this is supposed to be:

In the beginning of 2013, Denise gave me the great idea of making at least one drawing (or more) each month in order to not procrastinate from drawing - aka keeping my drawing skills active.

February is a very short month and so I felt very stressed to think of something to draw. Valentines day passed before I even remembered that I still had not drawn something for February. That’s when it hit me, February might be the shortest month of the year, but it is still a very important month. It’s Black History Month! It’s nothing that we celebrate here in Sweden, but I think it is still important to remember the ones that are often excluded from History books, etc. Unfortunately, even if PoC are remembered, it is rarely ever any women, so I felt like drawing something that would include a WoC. I used the “We Can Do It” propaganda poster as my reference and then I simply just race-bent the whole thing. And before anyone of you ask; no I am not an African American woman, but I am a WoC, and to me, solidarity is very important, so I guess this is my way to show that I stand with you in the fight against inequality. :)

ITS EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE RELIGIOUS FIGURE (ok not everybody’s but he is a very popular religious figure all the same)

• Yeshua bar Miriam
• he was born and raised in Palestine~
• I think that the people of Palestine in his time may have worn some variation of the keffiyeh but I don’t know what it would have looked like, this is the best I can do with the resources I have
• I’m not actually a Christian but I grew up with this guy all the same, except with an unsurprising lack of imagery showing him in his obviously Semitic glory
• fuck yeah aquiline nose
• fuck yeah beard
• I’ve got some hearsay telling me he was apparently a rabbi??? which would mean he would dress differently, but I’ve never heard about him being a rabbi before so I don’t know, I always thought he was a carpenter
• If I find out some more about how he would be likely dressed I’ll probably update this illustration.

EDIT:

• it turns out that since he lived before Rabbinical Judaism he probably wasn’t a literal rabbi anyway and was called that since he had knowledge of the torah
• i apologize for the terrible font, I have a severe lack of attractive hebrew fonts and if I were to attempt the calligraphy myself it would be a miserable disaster

Homestuck kids for fanart Friday by grotesqueerie! (Link is the source)

This is one of my favourite headcanons for the kids, but the artist got so much hate and threatening asks for drawing the kids as POC that they actually left their personal blog. Luckily they are still posting art as grotesqueerie  in their amazing, identifiable style.

This is a humanized cosplay of Scar from the Lion King. I believe that this person darkened their skin to cosplay this. Here’s a picture of them preparing for another cosplay which was the best picture I could find which showed their natural skin tone: http://machui826.deviantart.com/art/Man-the-mirror-271518757?q=gallery%3Amachui826%2F10092407&qo=5

A link to their dA: http://machui826.deviantart.com/

The submitted picture came across my dash today with some people praising it for not making Scar a white man, therefore whitewashing him. But…they used brownface to do it. :/

Their dA info says that they’re from Hong Kong so it’s possible that they aren’t aware that this is offensive. Still wrong though.

Because making a very clearly dark Mohawk man into someone as pasty as an Irish man is clearly the  best course of action!
