Artistic License - Tumblr Posts
I have been known to get pretty growly about the second and third examples, shipping or not, bc yeah. I’m not going to come after people for their art but I would like them to think a little more about why they feel so at ease about removing or minimizing the depiction of POC characters - especially if the ones they change tend to be darker skinned and what they change them to is something lighter.
Ask: Why is my fantasy incomplete without this specific change? Do I often imagine the other direction - making a light skinned character dark?
There aren’t rules - it’s fanfiction - but everyone should be ready to reflect on their inclinations.
Make the art that speaks to you by all means - but take the time to make sure you actually like what it’s saying.

this is how some of y’all look and it’s so transparent…..
Gang, I must get my aut- I mean artistic license. Please Sun oh mighty, grant me this grand prize.

Venom wants to recreate some movie scenes. (1/3) Part 2 - Part 3  Eddie: I’m pretty sure this isn’t how the scene went, buddy. Venom: Eddie. Can we eat somebody’s head like this? Eddie: …no. P-please don’t.
