FISH DELOUSING LASER????
You draw one of your characters once and suddenly you want to draw them all....I don't have the time
Why do all the best ideas always come when I want to pass out???
I'm not the best artist but this is what they look like. A little explanation about who they are:
Rust is a 17 yr old genderfluid Mage from Mage the Ascension. They use any pronouns, so feel free to use them all! He genuinely believe that magic is just advanced science that needs to be proven through tests and hypotheses.
Also, she associates gender with elements of the periodic table, mainly Iron and Oxygen (Hence why they chose the name Rust), with it fluctuating between solid and logical, and fluid and reactive. There are other elements they associate with but that's more than I have the brain power to explain rn.
I need to get some colored pencils for next time, because their hair is supposed to be rust colored and she just looks weird without it.
Yaknow I figured you'd find me eventually lol
Thinking about starting to post random rambles about my ocs....maybe....idk how Tumblr really works lol I'm new

I don't think some people realize how it feels to be a black gamer in the context of Wyll's content disparity. Intentionally racist or not, the fact that he continues to be overlooked and disregarded by the Devs is really disheartening. As a black gamer (and please note I am speaking for myself and do not represent the wider black gaming community, don't read this as that) I feel just as overlooked and disregarded as Wyll currently is.
Wyll is a great character. I absolutely adore Wyll. But he feels under baked. And this sucks because you see a pattern in media where black characters (especially black female characters, but that's a conversation for a different day) aren't as fleshed out as white characters. They aren't given the same love and care as white or white coded characters and, therefore, the fandom doesn't reciprocate with love and care towards the black or black coded characters. So of course, this reads as people not caring about them, so the writers don't bother to fix them or give them more.
It is a vicious cycle that we see often where they make Wyll, butdon't put as much work into him, so the fandom doesn't like him as much, so they don't think they need to put more work into him. They put more love and care into the white/white-coded characters because that is what the predominantly white fandom wants.
But as they do that, the black fans and the fans that enjoy Wyll as a character are ignored. Their voices are drowned out by the majority and I cannot tell y'all how shitty of a feeling that is. As a black woman, I have constantly been talked over, ignored, had my ideas repeated by a white person and have them take the credit, etc. So seeing Wyll and Wyll fans being ignored, talked over, white counterparts getting the attention sucks.
I get enough of that shit in real life, I don't want to have to deal with that in all my fucking hobbies.
As a black gamer, this makes me feel as if I don't belong in this fandom. It makes me feel like the devs and the writers don't want me in this fandom. It makes me feel like I'm not welcome to play this game, that I'm not welcome to like this character over others, that I'm not able to bring my experiences as a black woman and a black gamer to this game because the main black character is treated like they don't matter. It makes me feel like the writers didn't want to put in the work for this black man and felt like no one would notice or care. That no one but black folks would mind and who cares what black folks are saying?
Again, this is all my opinion and its a bit rambly. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this that really is a culmination of various things involving being a blerd and black geek in predominantly white fandoms.
But I think it's important to recognize that people are impacted by this and it sucks for a lot of black folks in white dominant spaces to continue to have to fight for crumbs at the table during Black History Month in 2024. We should have good, fleshed out characters, that are respected and cared for by their creators and by the fandom at large. I really hope Larian puts in the work for Wyll and a lot more people can see how cool a character he really is. He deserves the same amount of love and care as the other origin companions.
Grumbo month day 2. First I saw "music" then "alternative universe", then I said "huh, bet".
