Suitor Armor - Blog Posts
im going to name a few examples of webtoons off the top of my head
im going to get flamed but its true
unordinary: Farrah
Divorcing my Tyrant Husband - the 'aggressive' tyrant king
king is on right, mc in middle, lov einterest on right
i mean COME ON
unfortunately, hand jumper by sleepacross, my favorite webtoon:
^ the only character i could find that was slightly darker skinned (all of hte main cast are east asian or white -- and even then theyre all pale)
this dudes name is literally "the butcher"
ok now this isnt off the top of my head now im actively looking through my webtoons list
this one is the Princess's Jewels by Hong-Cha -- basically the two characters with emalnin are either hyper aggressive and jealous or super stiff and basically has zero character except having basic human decency
also it uses the excuse of "the Black people that can turn into wolves/giant shadow wolves have dark palms because of the paw pads of days" and like okay why doesnt eh dude who can turn into an eagle have sharp nails or feather pattersn on his arms or a white outline on his mouth for a beak or SOMETHING like PLEASE be consistent or at least be committed to your POC characters
highly recommend to NOT read this webtoon if you are the type who likes plot mor ethan art because this was just I Don't Know How To Write A Female Character TM galore
and then last but not least, Muted by Miranda Mundt. im going to be honest i loved this webtoon, i just wish Nyra had develope[d her character faster because in the first few episodes she had like five stereotypes written into her but they slowly got developed out so honestly im not mad about it. i also wish her hair had texture :[
now for good webtoons to read
Daybreak - cute, feel-good, slice of life, wholesome friendship things and is very lgbtq+. main two characters are both Black, both trans, and are so freaking sweet. this comic updates twice a week too!
Suitor Armor - im sure most people have heard of this but if you havent you should read it beacuse oh my gosh what a story - fantasy drama with some comedy in it with dark themes, slightly mature content (gore, etc.), adorable and yummy art style, interesting characters that are POC and!!! they have character!!! not just empty shells of people!!! they also give all hair their textures!
Lovebot - now this oen is also by Miranda Mundt, and i gotta say, wow is the improvement TANGIBLE! poc main character, several poc supporting characters, hair with TEXTURE, with INTEREST, gender is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, imaginative and creative science-fiction futuristic setting where we solve climate change and now its the future. very dark, mature themes, not reccommended for younger audience. great read, just finished too so go read it while you still can for free with no daily pass shenanigans!
god i spent too long writing this
It's everywhere
Suitor armor question
How old do you think Lucia and Norrix are? because I’ve thought of Lucia as around early-mid 20s, and Norrix as anywhere from mid 20s to early 30s.

Lucia from "Suitor Armor"
"Suitor Armor" is an addictive webcomic on Webtoon made by melpulse (Purpah).
Summary: Lady-in-waiting, Lucia believes getting through the royal wedding will be the toughest part of her new life. That is until she finds herself falling head over heels with Modeus, an up-and-coming knight to the king's guard. With her newfound interest, she is quickly awakened to the mysteries of the kingdom when she learns Modeus is in fact an enchanted suit of armor without a soul. Could there be more to him than just shining armor?
My Experience: "Suitor Armor" is addictive to read; the story is enchanting and engrossing, to read, the characters are like intricately woven tapestries, all telling a story of their own, and the artwork is charmingly perfect. An overall fantastic webcomic that everyone should go read 10/10!
