Yeah Hoyoverse Is Just Colorist, You Can See This Across Their Games. And All The Brown Units Are Suspiciously

Yeah Hoyoverse is just colorist, you can see this across their games. And all the brown units are suspiciously either poorly designed or can't compete with the paler units. Such as Arlan from Honkai Star Rail I think the only dark skinned character in that game and many mediocre characters from Genshin Impact such as Cyno, Xinyan, the infamous Dehya herself and others. I like your redesign and others that have been going around, and it's crappy that they completely butchered the representation of your people and culture. I'm African-American so not familiar with the cultural references Genshin is pulling from but it would still be nice to see more brown and black people in game. The darkest character is maybe Kaeya or Xinyan and they are not the best units especially poor Xinyan being left to the wayside. Hopefully there's enough backlash for change.

Quickest redesign of the west, I drew this in like 20 min. I'll probably redraw this with more patience

I'm absolutely furious at how they butchered my culture, not only them being pale, but also none of the designs have traditional clothing at all.

Anyway, I claim xilonen as my own as our names have the same meaning (mines the purépecha ver of the name, not nahuatl)

Just started a channel and plan on making other stuff, though it may take me a while since I have trouble finishing projects even those I like. I want to get better at making videos though.

Telemachus design for Epic the Musical

Still working on the animation but came up with this design on the spot, it could be better but I'm happy with this. I just needed something besides a basic tunic lol

Don't skip , please help 🙏🍉

Hello everyone, I am Mahdi Jad Al-Haq and I have a family of 5. I am a 57-year-old ، I not working since 2015 ,even my wife is housewife who does not work she is 50 yrs old , my son saied 19 yrs old still studying ,2 daughters Ahlam 22 yrs old and Sherin 15 yrs old still studying. We had no income other than any job.

In our daily lives, we relied on the Social Service Law, which was stopped at the beginning of the war on Gaza, and which was not originally sufficient for the requirements of living.

During the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times and lost our home due to enemy bombs shortly after our first displacement. We lost all the beautiful things that my family and I used to enjoy, and the most difficult beautiful thing we lost was security and living in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us everywhere we fled to.

Our days were difficult to say the least, as there were no viable sources of work to get the money we needed to meet our needs. Our situation is tragic and we are still stuck in a tent with no healthy food, no medicine, no water, and no electricity.

During the displacement process, we lost the stable and entertaining life that I, my family used to live. We lost all things . My family, who suffers all the time from fatigue, exhaustion, and displacement from one tent to another, which made us despair. We were in a beautiful house to a tent in the middle of the street with no place to sleep. I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip because of the war and to rebuilt my destroyed house.

This requires me to raise $100,000 that will cover the evacuation fees, travel and transportation expenses about $30000, and about $70,000 that will go to rebuild our house when we return, God willing.

I need to raise money to restore a beautiful life and stability outside the Gaza Strip. Everything I say only reaches a small amount of the suffering we are living. This is a glimpse into the contrast between our lives before the aggression and the nightmare we are suffering now under the aggression.

Thank you for your support and solidarity.

An assignment for my ELA class. The topic was drawing a poster of The Seven Deadly Sins, we could do one or more. Most people chose one and I did to all of them. I decided to combine the sins into three characters since I didn't want nor have time to draw all seven. The poster doesn't have the correct colors because I didn't have the markers or color pencils that were accurate enough. The digital version was what I started with to get the colors down then the poster. I like these designs at least the centaur and especially the three headed one. I may draw them again sometime and work on the centaur a little more. Also its mane and tail are meant to be red seaweed since Kelpie's from mythology are said to have seaweed hair that tightens on those who ride it so it can dive into the water and drown them. I believe their bodies are also sticky so I connected oil since the oil industry can be greedy because the substance itself is a valuable resource. The design is supposed to be dark like oil. Also their tails make a thunderous sound against the water, which can tie into Zeus (Eagle represents him). And they symbolize many things but for this design I interrupt it has power (also the spade is meant to resemble a sword). I wanted the crown to look like Poseidon's Trident 🔱 with spades on top. I chose Gods as inspiration because stories from Mythology and the Bible the Gods tend to be prideful and act in Wrath, but still respect from everyone even though they at least once committed genocide. That's all I have to write about, hope you like the designs :)

I'd love to see more BFRB representation in media. Having most villains be people with scars or hair loss is super gross and wrong. All characters from different backgrounds, mental journeys and appearances should be able to be the hero or villain. Hopefully, we can see more people in adverts and shows/movies have scars and compulsions like others and mine.

Tips for Writing Characters with Trichotillomania

- Someone with trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder!)

I’m really glad that people are starting to realize that BFRBs actually exist! And with that, I’m happy that this means it’s not JUST me headcanoning characters to have BFRBS or CREATING characters with BFRBs. HOWEVER. With this, it is important that these disorders are represented well. I have trichotillomania myself, so here’s a list of things that I look for in characters and when making my own, and tips for accurately portraying a BFRB!

This is focusing on trichotillomania as I have it. I might make some on other BFRBs but I’ll have to do a lot of research and talk to people or read accounts of people WITH the specific BFRB. (I pull my hair and bite my nails, so I cannot about other BFRBs I don’t have off the top of my head.)

What IS a BFRB?

BFRB stands for “body-focused repetitive behavior.” BFRBs are a group of disorders listed in the DSM-5 under “Obsessive-Compulsive and RELATED Disorders.” BFRBs are NOT OCD. They are closely related, but are DIFFERENT things! A BFRB is defined by bfrb.org as a “repetitive self-grooming behavior…that can lead to physical damage to the body and have been met with multiple attempts to stop or decrease the behavior” and WebMD as “intense urges…that can cause damage.” (A BFRB is NOT the same as self-harm!!!!) In short, a BFRB is a behavior or habit that hurts you and is nearly impossible to stop or control. The easiest way I’ve found to describe it is like pressure. Next time you have an itch, try not to scratch it. It’s difficult! It feels like a pressure building up. Now, imagine that “itch” is really the INTENSE urge to pull out your hair, pick at your skin, bite at your lips, and the like. THAT is a BFRB.

What about Trichotillomania (or Trich)?

There are two main types of hair-pulling: FOCUSED and AUTOMATIC. Oftentimes, people’s trich does not neatly fit into one category. One trichster can engage in both (like me!) or it could depend on the location of the hair on your body. Focused means you are AWARE that you are pulling when you pull. AUTOMATIC means you are NOT AWARE that you are pulling.

Secondly, trichotillomania DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. People can pull from ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE. Oftentimes people who mention trichotillomania only consider pulling from your scalp. But we, as human beings, are mammals. There is hair everywhere. Other common places include eyebrows, eyelashes, the pubic region, underarms, arms, and legs. But if there is hair at ALL, trichotillomania can cause you to pull it. Some people have specific locations they pull from, and not EVERYONE pulls from EVERYWHERE! (For example, my scalp was never an issue until this past year, and I have had this BFRB for several years. It began with my lashes, then progressed to my legs and brows. I pretty much have trich for everywhere now. Yay.)

ONTO THE TIPS

For many, trich can be a self-soothing behavior. If a character has trichotillomania, they may gravitate towards their hair when they are startled or under stress, even if they are not pulling. An example of this could be a character running their fingers through their hair when anxious, or running their fingers over their eyebrows when frustrated.

A BFRB is not something to be ashamed of. However, there is a LOT of stigma around them. Many trichsters WILL attempt to hide their BFRB from people, especially strangers. Even the most kind-hearted, honest cinnamon roll may lie to a loved one about why their hair is thinning or why their arms are sore. Some common ways of this are wearing hats or styling one’s hair a certain way, wearing pants and long sleeves, or avoid hairdressers and doctors.

IT HURTS. There is often PHYSICAL PAIN that accompanies trichotillomania! What inspired me to write this post was quite literally me being grumpy because I was having to hold a towel to my arm because I dug too deep trying to get an ingrown hair and it bled more than expected. Pulling, especially if it’s from sensitive areas of your body like your nose, pubic region, fingers, feet, eyelashes, etc. where there are many nerves, can HURT. There will likely be red, bumpy skin. There may be blood. There may be scars.

There is going to be hair everywhere and yes it is annoying and no it’s not stopping anytime soon. Vacuums will clog. You will get hair stuck to the soles of your feet when you take off your socks. It’s gonna be everywhere.

Some people will chew on or eat the hair. This is known as trichophagia. I do not know much about trichophagia as I do not have it myself. However, I DO know that people with this can experience issues like stomachaches, indigestion, and the like. That’s okay. That’s normal.

You cannot love someone’s trichotillomania away. Please, please, please do not do this. You can help someone if they want it, you can love them, you can try, BUT THIS IS A DISORDER. It is NOT a choice. It is not something a character needs to “try more” with. I see a lot of posts under the trichotillomania tag here on Tumblr that are excerpts of fics. 99% of the time, it’s Person A forcibly stopping Person B from pulling and begging them to stop “for them.” I am not saying there is something inherently malicious about these! But someone cannot just stop “for you.” I’m sorry. It’s still a disorder. Please avoid the “stop for me!” trope if possible, or at the very least avoid this being the “cure-all” for a character’s BFRB.

These disorders are so widely misunderstood and underrepresented. There is a lot of misinformation. Please do not shy away from creating characters with a BFRB, in fact I highly encourage it! But pleasepleaseplease do some research beforehand and listen to people with these disorders. Good luck!
