=oXO it used to be when people referred to me by blood colour not my name i was like "yep thats me¡¡" but now it feels''' a little bit''' hm' i guess i,ll get used to it again soon, but''' its just kind of sad that some people only care about colour and not about people themselves' the people are the part that matters the most¡¡¡ nobody can help what colour their blood is''' i wish that was the way everyone thinks, awawa''' =oXO
=oXO awawa''' i probably won,t, but i really appreciate that¡¡ thanks mystry =:) =oXO
:> It c^n be ^ffection^te, but if it’s from ^ str^nger, especi^lly ^ highblood, it c^n often be me^nt in ^ deme^ning w^y, so I entirely underst^nd where you’re coming from. <:
=oXO yeah''' i don,t think it was meant in meanness, i was being thanked for saying something helpful, i just felt a little weird about it''' like''' i am a "little bronzeblood" but''' it feels weird for some reason'''''' =oXO
:> There’s often ^n inherent condescension in such terms. Lowbloods tend to be stereotyped ^s diminutive, cute, we^k, sh^llow, p^ssive. Even if it w^s not me^nt th^t w^y - though it m^y well h^ve been - th^t is often the root of such phr^sing, so it does feel weird, ^nd unple^s^nt. <:
=oXO awawa''' i am at least some of those things¡ but yeah''' i think i understand' i thought i understood before but i didn,t mind it at all' i think''' i,ve just kind of realised how much the system can hurt people so now im like''' i guess i,m just kind of more aware of it now' awawawa'''' i,m always learning, eheh''' =oXO
:> It’s underst^nd^ble. You didn’t h^ve much c^use to be ^w^re of it before. Being those things isn’t b^d if you’re n^tur^lly th^t w^y. It’s b^d when people expect it from you just bec^use you’re bronze, not bec^use you’re you, like you s^y. <:
=oXO yeah¡¡ yeah''' its about the person not the colour' awawa it,d be nice if everyone thought the same but i guess that,s kinda impossible, right¿ or at least impossible in my lifetime¡ =oXO
:> Unfortun^tely yes. But there ^re trolls who underst^nd th^t color is only biologic^l ^nd h^s no imp^ct on who someone is or their v^lue ^s ^ person. Even then, color isn’t ^ gu^r^ntee of biology, h^h^. I chose to be m^roon but it is purely ^esthetic. I ^m not much like ^ troll burgundy ^t ^ll. <:
