Will Be Open About This But Being Queer And Black And An Artist Is So Exhausting Sometimes...it Sucks

will be open about this but being queer and black and an artist is so exhausting sometimes...it sucks that so many others who are like me(I just got lucky) kinda fly under the radar either because people don't notice them for being like me or black creatives do so on purpose to avoid racism/anti blackness.

it feels lonely that I don't see many characters like me let alone ones that aren't pushed to the side so I gotta create my own. it hurts that being myself opens me up to queerphobia *AND* racism.

please love queer black people, artists and creatives alike, and real heavy talk, we kinda don't live that long...

not enough fantasy settings talk about street food like c'mon there was street food in ancient times across basically every culture lemme see what weird snacks you can buy off a guy in an alleyway

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

Meet our escort and stylist, Cassius Opulent and Satine Labelle! 💙🤍

Cassius is the worst, ngl. He’s a privileged jerk who only cares about luxury. Basically the evil version of Effie. He and Belladonna do BOT get along: Bella thinks he’s a pompous prick and Cassius thinks she’s district trash.

Satine comes off as a hardass, but she actually has a soft side deep down. She developed her cold persona as a coping mechanism after seeing so many kids die in the games. She tried to subtly help her tributes though. For example, she cut Belladonna’s hair to make it harder to grab. After Bella wins, Satine becomes a mother figure to protect Bella in the Capitol.
