Ive Literally Never Even Heard Of Blackwashing Until Today??? Help??? Bro What Does That Even Mean????

i’ve literally never even heard of blackwashing until today??? help??? bro what does that even mean???? like i understand what it is but the implications of it are so beyond me?????

also literally what was that even in RESPONSE to???? i have so many questions and so little time

Y'all actually do not understand the amount of hate that I get on my account for my black anime edits, which is why the person was so mad. But at the end of the day, I AM BLACK. When I cosplay the characters are black, when I'm writing, even though I never mention skin color outright, I'm writing for a black person because I am black. So of course, I want a pfp and art on my account that looks like me!

No one has to like the edits, quite honestly I do not care. You can even be offended if you want to. But as I've said before, the block button is your best friend if it bothers you so much (this isn't in reference you, nonnie, I'm just saying)

Arlecchinui

Yandere Scaramouche who can't bring himself to be soft in your presence. Softness is weakness, and you'll pounce at any moment of weakness from him. But he still loves you, more than his mechanical heart can contain, so he shows it in less than kind ways.

A box of chocolates will be haphazardly dropped into your lap with him standing above you, arms crossed and a frown on his face. He'll gesture for you to take them, trying to hide the raging blush that's forming on his cheeks.

"Take them, they're disgusting," he'd grumble before walking off without another word. He'd never buy himself chocolates. Not willingly. His hatred for sweets was more than common knowledge to you, he gagged if you even put a drop too much sugar in his tea. Yet somehow, he'd come to aquire a box of chocolates.

And not just any box. Your favorite. A kind that was only found in Mondstadt. Having a bit of an acquired taste, they never got popular around Teyvat and were hard to come across anywhere else. You remember mumbling to yourself about how you missed their taste a few short days ago and now here they were, on your lap. Despite your hatred for the man, you felt a smile forming upon your lips.

For the "How They Mark You as Theirs" headcanons, I was initially gonna have Childe tattoo you. Possibly with his name or something that reminds you of him, but that felt a little too intense so I decided on something else.

But thinking on it now, Childe would definitely get a tattoo for you.

Some matches I think would suit an ENFP gemini

UM????? SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING CLIMBING UP THE WALLS IRONING THE CEILING????

THAT'S LIKE THE NICEST THING ANYONE HAS DONE FOR ME!!!

And they're all characters I love!!!!!!

The welcoming and friendly and bright facade of "Mother" and the family she raised at the Hearth, whose cruelty was hidden just beneath the surface - raising children as brothers and sisters so that they might slaughter each other in the future for the title of "King",

Versus

Arlecchino as the "strict" and "unfeeling" and cold and emotionally distant Father, who teaches her children that they should rely on each other, love each other, cherish each other and their own lives, stand on their own two feet in the world. The names of Arlecchino's constellations - "You shall become a new member of our family / You shall love and protect each other henceforth / For alone, we are as good as dead / From this day on, we shall delight in new life together" - are her teachings to the children of the House (and her hopes, too - we shall delight in new life together).

And the warm gentleness in her voice when she begins speaking - "come with me" - that turns into cold monotone, "like a strict and unfeeling Father". You can literally hear the moment she creates the persona of that "cold", "unfeeling", "strict" Father, when she puts on her mask.

And that's not even getting into how it's also a continuation of this vicious cycle - "I will raise you as my child" - because while Arlecchino's House is certainly leagues better than Crucabena's, she is still raising soldiers and ultimately leading many of them to their deaths* (despite her best efforts, it seems), she is actively priming Lyney to be the next "King", and the throne of the "King" is upheld by much death and bloodshed.

*As an aside, I gotta wonder if Arlecchino's crimes were pardoned only in exchange for her becoming a Harbinger, so now she's locked into a job where she has to raise more child soldiers and send them to die, just like her siblings were sent to die. It would explain why Childe clocks her loyalty to the Tsaritsa as being very shaky (him being a Tsaritsa fanboy in the first place, anyway). But if she didn't become "King"... well, wouldn't that mean all her siblings' sacrifices would be in vain? That would be kinda fucked up innit.
