Alright so I woke up this morning and got messages from some followers about what& #39;s going on on Twitter. So apparently there& #39;s been issues with the way I portray the blight parents and my Swap AU has-
-made some people uncomfortable. So in this thread, I& #39;ll explain a little more about my actions. Please understand where I& #39;m coming from as a content creator and as a human being, a kid whose learning how to deal with lots of things at once. Anyways let& #39;s begin.
So 1st things first, Alador and Odalia Blight. So I& #39;ve received comments that say I keep portraying Alador and Odalia Blight as good even though they& #39;re shown to be abusive. I would like to point out that I don& #39;t condemn the Blight parents either. I don& #39;t believe they are-h
-good parents to the blight siblings. The reason I made the & #39;what-ifs& #39; is just to draw out the WHAT IF concepts. This does not mean I have high hopes that the blight parents are going to be good parents when they appear in the show. For now I am skeptical about the Blights-
-until season 2 gets released. And I also get comments about drawing Odalia and Alador often? Well for that, all i have to say is that the Blights are interesting people and I do have other characters I want to draw, But there are more ideas I have for-
-drawing the blights, So that& #39;s why I draw the Blights slightly often. I don& #39;t know if i noticed i drew them more slightly, but if you guys are uncomfortable with me drawing them often then let me know, I& #39;ll consider not drawing them if it upsets ya too much.-
Next thing, The Opposite Swap AU. So the opposite swap AU is a slightly complex AU, i can understand if it gets upset as the au may not be clear. So I& #39;ll just explain a summary of the AU. Basically, all humans are Witches are swapped including their roles.-
Amity is in Luz& #39;s role as the aspiring witch and Luz in Amity& #39;s role as the bully. In the original series, Amity& #39;s friend circle was Boscha,Skara,Bo,Amelia and Kat. Now that they are in the human world, Amity& #39;s (as Luz) friends are Human Boscha and Human Gus.
whereas for Luz, in the original series, friends were Gus and Willow but now that Luz is in Amity& #39;s role, Luz& #39;s friends are Human Willow (as Boscha) , human Skara, human Amelia, human kat. another thing that seemed to make others uncomfortable was that I changed
the characters for the supporting Roles. (Willow was changed to a skinnier girl, Gus to another light skinned person) Like I said before above, Since Amity is the main character, her friend is Human Boscha and Human Gus ( I used all these characters from the first-
-episode) I& #39;ll leave pics at the end to explain further if this is still too complicated. So NO i do not condemn Race washing, I am sorry to have offended anyone. Lastly, Body size representation, As for what I can do about that, I& #39;ll try to be more inclusive-
-about body rep. As far Human Augustus is the only one with body rep and asian rep, so I& #39;ll try to be more fair and give the other characters more diverse bodies. If this AU still made you uncomfortable then, I apologize. I advice you to move onto another account-
-before I make you more uncomfortable. I am only an Artist trying to make content for my followers and I wish to make original aus that are different from other swap AUs. Please understand where I& #39;m coming from, and have a good day.
