Its 3am And Im Tired - Tumblr Posts

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
