Me: It greatly upsets and confuses me when canonically POC characters are whitewashed.
Person: OMFG IT DOESN'T MATTER IT'S A MOVIE/TV SHOW THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT IN LIFE GET OVER IT!!!!! SOME THINGS NEED TO CHANGE!!!! etc, etc...
Dc: *announces POC actress will be playing a live action version of Starfire*
Me: Cool can't wait to see what she brings to the character
Person: WTF?!?!?! B-BUT!!! SHE'S BLACK!!!! THEY SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OMG STARFIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE!!!!
Me: *stares into the camera like I'm on the Office* She's freaking Orange

Why do bugs in the south chase you like you owe them some money
That’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets.

Here we got Red X for the TTGems AU as Brecciated Jasper. Didn’t really have to change much about his appearance, imo. The gem suggestion was given by terramarkovrocks again. :)
Obviously he’s still mistaken for Robin/Bloodstone the first time he shows up on his own (since he still does the whole ‘being a bad guy to lure out slade’ thing), but other than figuring out his gem, the team knows nothing about him or what he looks like without a mask.
He’s a rogue gem, like Blackfire/Ametrine, and doesn’t follow the Authority. Like in the series, he does things for his own gain without any remorse for his actions.
Totally forgot to post this lol anyway heres Raven just chilling
What do you think she’s thinking?

Old self indulgent bad pearl

Person A: *slams book shut*
Here! Have some under-appreciated TT characters~
While I know Sarasim was more a cameo of Sarah Simms from the original TT comics (and then reinstated into the cartoon-based comics), I still prefer the cartoon version of her as she was a badass warrior. And the comic versions of her are just…bland, blonde, blue-eyed, white girls. <:\ Very nice & caring girls, mind you, but boring nonetheless.
And we also have Arella, who was sadly only given a minute or two of screentime in the cartoon. Raven’s backstory and family in general is one I think should’ve been expanded on beyond Trigon & the prophecy she was tied to.
So here we have Sarasim as Euclase, and Arella as Moonstone.
Thanks goes to arellasmercy’s suggestion for Arella’s gem choice. ^v^
