this is very much ill block u if u rb kinda deal
and this is also a personal point of expression, if ur white u can like but i dont want to hear any fucking “hot takes” from this
im very very fortunate abt the fact that like eff is a tiny tiny fanbase here on tumblr bc god knows everthing im abt to say would be even worse but at the risk of sounding too egotistical, i really wish i wasnt the only active, or at least vocal fan on here whose not white. like literally i know two ppl whose read the series and is not white and one of them includes my brother and he doesnt even give a shit abt the series anymore lol 
and its like, i know this series front to back and i know very well where the narrative fails to bring its justice to the themes of racism & anti-blackness associated with incarceration that it draws from and the tropes gordon writes into the story - unintentional or not - and like. im not gonna push that onto anybody whose tired of seeing it so often, but its nice to actually address it, be it to tear this writing a new one, or to talk meta that actually offers perspective yknow. 
and like!! god i want to talk about characters and headcanons like i do with every story i enjoy in this light!!! i want to share what i see and how unambiguous colour adds on to the foundations of characterizations in canon and meet halfway with someone who really really gets it!!
like, sometimes i sit and do feel weird about the fact that if i didnt decide to draw my hc of alex being biracial, there wouldnt be any fanart of him being brown at all. and seeing alex mixed is just an act of seeing my life thru mixed lens.
i sit and feel weird about the fact ppl have gone on here with serious arguments to why theyre allowed to read donovan white and depict him as such. the fact that there exists so much white washed fanart in the first place, some of which has been praised by gordon himself with the excuse of “i know i originally created this character as black this entire time but why not be open to all interpretation :)” 
even not having to do with eff itself, but as much i joke abt “kinning” night and that im her, i cant fully commit to the joke bc i respect and refuse to overlook that she’s mexican, and as someone who is constantly seen as ethnically ambiguous & wanting to ppl to stop doubting me when i tell them im filipino - it just makes ME feel weird!!! even if i make the joke!!
and i DEFINITELY sit and feel straight up ill over the fact that warden cross and his blacksuits are a weirdly fixated upon aspect of fan content that goes out of their way to make him and them as comic relief and not like, the straight up unsympathetic n*zi that he literally, LITERALLY is. and if you have been following me, or even just this post up to this point and dont understand why this is unacceptable you are clown, and a fool, and a rat bastard and you better think long and hard if defending a fictional n*zi is a hill to die on when u type a rebuttal in my ask, knowing exactly who ur talking to   
idk man. for the most part, yall are nice and dont give me shit for speaking honestly abt this shit as i do, but man looking at the overwhelming whiteness of the fanbase on here makes me feel a little bit like a token on principle
