like tbh, it makes me really uncomfortable when white photographers go someplace ~~exotic~~ like india or pakistan and take a picture of a dark-skinned light-eyed child and put it in their portfolio with some bland name like “portrait of a young girl at well in wheat field, manipur, india, 2015.” like what kind of commodification of brown bodies is this?? did you pay this child? did you pay her family? do you know anything about the area you’re in other than the shit you read on wikipedia? do these people mean anything to you past their aesthetic???? please cut out this trend of photographing nameless identityless faces designed to further your artistic experience and start seeing them as real live human beings who exist outside of the boxes you put them in.
I like it, it shows diversity instead of the same white being photographed all the time
and what does it show when white photographers need to seek out diversity in poverty-stricken areas of foreign countries instead of their own? what does it show when people of color are othered in the process of depicting diversity? what does it show when mainstream media ignores artists and photographers of color who depict cultural and racial diversity in their own works that actually reflects their experiences? what does it show when white people are paid to be photographed and people of color should be grateful that they’re photographed at all?
“baddie” culture was inspired and created entirely by hood ass black women. that’s all.
The stilettos nails, the poses, the makeup, the braids, the gold jewelry, the million rings on one hand, the hoop earrings, the slang, the outfits. ALL OF IT!
idk why do firebenders lose their bending during the day of black sun but dont lose their bending at night like thats also dark bitch wtf
I don’t think it’s just the darkness I think it has something to do with the blocking of the sun spirit’s energy something something magic something moon something. Like how Katara is a more powerful bender depending on the moon and the tides. Plus I’m pretty sure firebenders tend to be weaker at night, but not completely powerless.
Firebenders are strongest during the day because of the energy they get from the sun.
Waterbenders get their energy from the moon and their power rises and falls with the tides/lunar phases.
An eclipse is a big ball of water energy covering a big ball of fire energy, meaning the moon is 2x strong against the sun.
Firebenders don’t lose their power at night because moonlight is refracted sunlight.
Seriously, did no one think of this? When Iroh tells Zhao, “Don’t kill the moon spirit, we need it too” what did you think he meant?
Zhao was that much of a fucking idiot.
Zhao looked at only the first few responses to this post and went on his merry way.
“I think anytime you go into anything that’s different and new, there’s a bit of fear,” the 28-year-old Vietnamese-American actor said on a sunny October morning, fanny pack bouncing as she hiked Griffith Park in Los Angeles. She glanced down quickly at her Pikachu watch. — Kelly Marie Tran for BuzzFeedNews (November 2017)
