Bro Ok So Carry On Fandom Answer Me A Question Please - Why Is It That Unless Its A Human AU People Are

bro ok so carry on fandom answer me a question please - why is it that unless it’s a human AU people are so reluctant to describe Baz as having darker skin or ethnic features?

i know you guys know what you’re doing with this, but why though??

hes mixed, yeah, but he looks like his mum. we all know this. his egyptian mother. and yeah, rainbow rowell decided to suck the melanin outta him despite giving it to him pre-vampification

(i’m still pissed that penny was offended that simon assumed an asian girl would have an asian name. she’s not that good with ethnic characters let’s be fr.)

so why are you guys going along with the whitewashed pale version of Baz?? cause the human au fanfics tell me you guys know he’s MENA. he doesn’t have to be deathly pale bc he’s a vampire you know.

man, even if u want him pale….olive skin is a thing??? now i’m south asian, not MENA but it grates me to read him so white washed regardless. i read the fanfics anyways bc i kinda have to if i want a variety in fan content but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

anyways white fic authors, please do your research. i’m begging you. i’ve never read a fic where he even speaks arabic. his mothertongue. he’s spoken everything from greek to latin in fics but not his own language?? like come on guys

the reason i’m bringing this up is because im writing a muslim!baz fic atm after reading this fic:

this is literally the only fic i’ve come across where Baz is still a vampire and brown. come on man, we should be better than this

uhhhh i did something else again instead of my v-day ship art again..oops??

long story short i watched the nagada sang dhol video again and redrew a few frames (the video is in no way the right order)

i’m currently 4k deep after months of rewriting a wip fic without a beta or co-author to stop me getting sidetracked…

putting together a voltron rewrite doc in a completely random order and don’t quite know what i’m doing

AND trying to get my v-day ship art done to be post throughout the month and only just finding out i won’t be able to get anywhere near my tablet for the next week bc i’m visiting family in half term

oh and i froze my ass off filming cosplay today and it set off my sensory issues……ha

I GOT ANOTHER SHIPART DRAWING IN BEFORE I GOTTA GO FOR THE WEEK FUCK YEAH

OK OK GUYSSS IVE FINALLY SORTED OUT MY COSPLAY TT ACCOUNT AHHHHH

IK NONE OF YOU LOT EVEN KNEW I COSPLAY IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT IM SO HAPPY!! THE ALGORITHM KEPT FUCKING ME OVER BC I KEPT POSTING MY ART AND COS ON THE SAME ACCOUNT BUT THATS GONNA STOP NOWW!! OH THANK GOD BC IT WAS KILLING MY ART VIDEOS
