Somewhere In A Kinder Universe

Mel is my Barbie to dress up

I really don't know what the story is with this but it was a fun value study hehe

like, i love stories where good people are flawed and at odds with each other, and can be unfair to each other or themselves. i don't need all the characters to be friends or never have conflict.

but it is very different from the fandom concept of 'portraying flaws' where an already routinely demonized character of color is constantly getting chewed out by other characters who are basically props, who are only there to voice the fandoms anger, and all for the sake of the fandom's chosen white woobie's catharsis.

and of course, when you want to focus more on the underappreciated characters and point out fandoms racism and misogyny, it's "why don't you create for your blorbos yourself instead of complaining!" but when it's a 100th post in the character tag demanding more 'flawed' portrayals for the character (while all popular artists and writers in fandom are already hyper-critical of the character at best or bash them at worst) it's considered fine.

(and when you see what fics are getting recommended under those posts... it becomes even more clear that it's not about nuanced portrayals)

Melvika - Mel Medarda and Sevika (Arcane)

You can't tell me they didn't f*cked at least 10 times

Arcane’s race blindness is a curse honestly. The Piltover cast (counsel and enforcers) are mostly characters of color, while the main characters from Zaun are mostly white (except Ekko and Sevika).

That leads to takes that Mel is racist towards Viktor (or any other white Zaunite character). Which is wack

.

It must’ve been so mortifying for Mel to have her mother come into her workplace and just decide to stage a coup. Maybe that’s why no one questioned why she disappeared for months. They just thought she went into hiding from the embarrassment.
