Amy sells out
Please also tag for Fabian Nicieza and Grant Morrison, as well as the issue numbers of the arcs in which they both butchered Jason's characterization, as well as for typical trigger warnings. I am very serious about this- I unfollow people who don't fucking tag.
I am likewise willing to tag for anything. I do my best to tag for anything that might generally be a problem for someone, but if I'm posting something you need to Savior, just drop me an ask and I'll do my best.
I am so sick of the whitewashing that takes place incessantly in Hollywood. So, here are my Katniss Everdeen, as played by Paulina Gaitán, and my Finnick Odair, as played by Jesse Williams. Take that, EW!
Note: Paulina actually has a slightly darker complexion in most photographs that I’ve seen. I just chose that one because of the background, which fits well with what happens in Catching Fire. Either way, she should have gotten the part over Lawrence, both because she fits the part better physically and because she’s an amazing actress, as is shown by her performance in the independent film Sin Nombre.
It’s
So
Fucking
Perfect

We’ve posted some of elementalkatniss’ cosplaying before, and she recently did another cosplay. This is why she says she cosplays as Katniss:
Then I happened upon a piece of fanart on DA that caught my eye because the female character in it was a woman of colour and she looked a little bit like me. To my surprise, it turned out to be Hunger Games fanart and the character in question was Katniss. I knew she was cast in the film with a white actress, so this threw me. A quick search on DA at the time for “Katniss” brought up page after page of fanart of Katniss portrayed with darker skin. Intrigued, I ended up spending weeks learning about The Hunger Games books. I found out that Katniss was described in the book as having olive skin and long dark hair. I learned about the white-washing of the film casting. I looked up more fanart.
Do you know the last time I ran into a female protagonist described as having olive skin and dark hair? Never. I know this because I’ve been searching for such a protagonist my entire life. I really don’t know how to describe it, but when characters in popular culture don’t ever look anything like you, it can do something to your head. It can make you feel like you never belong. It can make you long for characters that look like you. It can make your heart ache.
So finding Katniss meant a lot to me. I cried in relief and joy because it meant that much.
Before the power came back on, my friends and I were super bored so we decided to bust out some costumes and do an impromptu photoshoot in the park. It was super fun. Here’s a tiny preview of me looking far cooler than usual as Katniss Everdeen. c:
Woah. You could be Katniss!
