#but it disheartens me to see people attacked simply for an oversight

Lost Shinobi 9

Shisui Uchiha didn’t expect to wake up once more. He certainly didn’t expect to have both of his eyes. Here he is, living among Auradon’s evillest and cruelest of villains in the isle of the lost.

I managed to evade the detection of the bats that Jafar has summoned while the wolves and other animals were busy mauling my clones. I can safely say that they weren't nice experiences.

"Where is that rascal?!" I heard Cruella growl in frustration as I stood above them, upside down. "He couldn't have escaped detection from the animals!"

-----

"Maybe those animals were simply below the real ones." The Queen scoffed. "Clearly you haven't thought of everything."

"Ladies, ladies." Jafar called everyone's attention. "We don't have time to squabble with ourselves now." He reminded his companions. "While it is obvious we can't let him roaming around, he's far too skilled than our counterparts in the mainland." He continued. "We need to be united in order to outsmart that street rat."

"What do you suppose we do?" The fallen queen challenged. "Cruella's genius didn't work."

"In a moment." Jafar held up his hand. "First, what are we going to do with him?" He questioned. "Personally, he's more useful dead than being an asset." He snarled.

"I don't think so." Cruella argued. "He's a valuable asset to us." She explained.

"And have him betray us at the most convenient time?" Jafar challenged. "No thank you, one measly parrot was enough." He huffed as he walked opposite his companions and faced them.

"Touchy aren't we?" The queen smirked.

-----

"I better act now." I whispered to myself. "Jafar is the most dangerous among the three." I contemplated. "I better incapacitate him first, without him he won't be able to give new abilities to his companions." I concluded.

Holding my short sword by my right hand, I baited my breath as I waited for Jafar to walk to an ideal location.

I watched the three argue amongst themselves, they were contemplating whether to brainwash or kill me.

"There!" I whispered to myself as I jumped down, ready to strike."

The result I had hoped for didn't happen as the man was able to defend himself with his scepter.

"Cheeky brat." The genie snarled as he tried to grab hold of my shirt.

I immediately got on the ground, ducked and got to an elevated place just to avoid capture.

"That was close."

"Graaah." Jafar glared at me as Cruella pointed in my direction.

"Get him!" She ordered the animals she controlled.

I immediately worked on slicing and dicing the animals coming my way.

Wings, bodies, feet, paws, bodies lay littered on the ground as I made my work on them. I fought my way towards Jafar only for a bear to block my way and forced me to dodge its claws.

The bear growled in my direction and began running towards my direction and try to capture me with its forepaws.

"Stand on your hind legs and attack by swiping your claws!" Cruella yelled out an order, to which the bear complied to a T.

I immediately stood sideways on the cave's walls just to avoid the claws coming my way from the attacking predator. I soon ran to the cave's ceiling to get an advantage on the larger animal. Once I was able to get into position, I immediately jumped towards the bear, ready for the kill.

My sword's blade was caught by the bear with his right forepaw, the animal soon raised its left forepaw and prepared to strike my hanging form.

I released my hold on my blade and kicked the animal's face to get some distance between us. I guess my sword's dull from under use and the maintenance I gave it, or lack thereof. In any case, I need to resort to my jutsus now, to defeat this beast.

"Wind Style: Rotating Shuriken!" I announced as I threw three wind chakra-infused shurikens at the bear.

I got the results that I expected, the bear's torso was cut in half as its forepaws fell before its dismembered body.

"H-how!" Cruella was flabbergasted at my display of power.

"So you're a sorcerer." Jafar hummed as a smirk adorned the ex-adviser. "That explains things."

Right, people of this world view my jutsus as some sort of magic as Mousey and Diego explained. It still felt jarring to classify what I do as something else, but I can roll with it.

"Jafar!" The Queen yelled. "What are you planning?!"

"This!" Jafar glared at me as he raised his scepter.

Suddenly vials of green-colored liquid appeared by the fallen Queen's feet as vicious and rabid pack animals appeared before Cruella.

"Ladies if you would please" The genie stated.

"Of course." The two women responded.

Cruella exhaled green smoke from her mouth as the Queen began throwing the vials on the animal corpses.

Full grown trees sprouted from the corpses.

"Crap" I cussed as I began dodging the incoming branches and animals.

"Fire Style! Fire Dragon Jutsu!" I announced after doing the necessary handseals then breath out a dragon-shaped fire and incinerated the attacks.

"Sphera Aqua!" Jafar announced.

A stream of water congregated above us and formed a sphere before falling down on the fire I just made, dousing it and flooding the cave in the process.

As soon as the fire was out, the branches and animals resumed their pursuit and chased me around the cave with the occasional lightning bolts from the fallen genie of Agrabah. This would be easier if I had my short sword, I could slash away my pursuers.

Wait I have a few kunai knives packed. Maybe I can turn this around.

I immediately grabbed one of the few knives I've got and infused them with Wind chakra. It's a bit advanced to use this without the right metal, but it'll do. As soon as I accomplished that I resumed slashing my way out of this predicament as I used my measly knife as a makeshift short sword.

"You have magic boy." Jafar stated the obvious. "I can see why you'd think you're a match for us." He nodded.

I listened to the villain's statement as I began to thin out my pursuers.

"It's disheartening really, but we don't have time to play your games boy." The genie snarled as he sent a gust of wind my way.

I tried my best to hold out and not be blown away by the gust that the fallen genie has summoned. It was certainly difficult to keep my footing but I managed.

"You're a strong willed lad." Jafar praised. "But…" He paused. "This ends now!" He yelled.

Suddenly I felt intense pain on the back of my head. I managed to look behind me, and the Queen was there, holding a rather large stone. Suffice to say she whacked me with the large stone she was holding.

The whack sent me sideways and everything was a blur after that.

-----

My eyes bulged at the wizard's admittance. It wasn't every day that the person you trusted would fail to inform you one crucial detail.

"You mean to tell me that Jafar, Cruella and the Evil Queen may have been at the catacombs for another reason?" I tried to keep my voice low to keep anyone from panicking. "They aim to retrieve magical artifacts that could give them new abilities, or in Jafar's case strengthen his?"

"As it pains me to admit such oversight," Yen Sid sighed. "But yes." He nodded. "I deeply apologize for my negligence in the matter."

I sighed as pinched the bridge of my nose. I was thankful that Yen Sid and I were the only people inside the room. The mission he gave me just became more difficult. There was a higher chance that the villains already had their respective talismans, increasing the mission's parameters.

In all fairness, Yen Sid was still human. He may be the most powerful wizard in all of Auradon, the caretakers and professor for everyone incarcerated in this godforsaken island but that still doesn't change the fact that he's human. He's a very old human.

"The risks may have increased." I began. "You're still human Yen Sid." I flashed a smile at the wizened wizard. "I've encountered missions like this in my home world." I admitted. "So I'm not foreign with the concept of incomplete mission parameters." I reassured the old wizard. "Being human means being fallible."

As soon as I placed my hand on the wizard's shoulder, everything went black.

I wanted to tell you your blog is amazing and I hope you're happy, i also wanted to ask for your opinion on something. This evening I posted this photo of a drawing of allura I did. without think much about it, I posted it on snapchat with something like I "bet some you thought I was gonna draw her white, you were wrong." So this white guy texts me about the post and says to stop assuming everyone is racist. And I didn't realize I offended people. I apologized, but I don't know if I should have

alshdgbasg, thank you, im doing ok ^^

and as for your post, maybe a little? assuming anything can make you seem that you are looking down on people. the saying goes: “assuming anything will make an ass out of you and me” and ive never been in a situation where that doesnt hold true.

the proper thing is to apologize, especially if it seemed that you were offensive in any way, admitting that you could be wrong about something shows that you are open to realizing that you have faults and are willing to grow. Granted not everyone is rac/st, but they can be without realizing. And whitewashing has been a problem in this fandom, ive seen many artists attacked for it. I’m not an artist tho, i simply write fics. So i dont know how palettes work, like lighting can change things, make people appear a different color than they actually are. At some point we are just going to have to realize that. Some artist dont whitewash, and some whitewash unintentionally. I dont think its a matter of it being intentional just to spite the fandom.

at the end of it, i think you did the right thing. I dont advocate starting discourse over something that could be resolved with an apology and moving on from there. The important thing is that you learned from that experience, realize where you were wrong or right, it could be either or, but the point is that you learned and grew from the situation. Allura is coded as a dark-skinned character and should be drawn as such. Whether you know which shades to choose on your own, or you color pick from screencaps, Allura’s color should be preserved. 

that being said, i am not an authority on this. Im a white college student. i try to be conscious of all the problems going on around me, but at the end of the day, i will never have experienced it for myself. Ive had many long conversations with my friends who are people of color, and while i may seem ignorant going into the conversation, im willing to try and understand their point of view.

so anon, i hoped this help. im sorry if my answer seems a little convoluted, but this has been my experience as a spectator to all of this. all i can tell you is that statements like that are essentially invitations to receiving some rude comments, but that has been what ive seen, it could be totally different for you. i operate on a basis of respect, and that is honestly what this fandom needs to learn.

#i really hoped this helped #again im not the best resource for this simply because of the color of my skin #but i think you did the right for apologizing #i really do #this fandom has been up in arms since day one about the pocs in the show #and the fanart created is amazing #it really is #but it disheartens me to see people attacked simply for an oversight #or lack of understanding from others #i dont condone attacking others because of something like this #politely pointing it out is the best way #more often than not artists are willing to go back and edit their work if it really is an issue #again that has been my experience from observation #the artists in this fandom are really sweet people #dorks for sure because who wouldnt? #but nice amazing people none the less #and everyone deserves to be treated with respect #that is the one thing that i will stand by till i die #again i really hoped my answer made sense #anonny #dragon answers
