This Vacant Body Ch6 3/54
🕑 Added 2021-08-24 16:01:03 +0000 UTCI tried not to stereotype Grandpa, but please yell at me if I do so; originally I wrote Esh as mixed heritage because I wanted to include more spiritual references in dialogue and reference a variety of cultures, but I realized I was in over my head trying to pull it all together and also, as a white person, probably tromping around in stuff that wasn't my business. But I really liked the version of his father so I kept his Native/Indian ancestry. Trying to handle it carefully without being appropriative~

Beautiful storytelling as usual ππΊ

I hadn't really considered it; I don't know how feasible it is for me but I will keep it in mind!
As someone who is Native American, I appreciate that you are taking the time to include diversity! It is so rare to see someone who is Native American in media
Have you considered temporary hiring an indigenious diveristy consultant?

Lol Esh looks like a grumpy old man in the body of a child.

I feel like caucasian progressive creators are kinda torn between providing more inclusion and diversity in their work versus appropriating other cultures and damn is it a fine line. I am glad you are cognizant of it and are trying to be respectful. As another white person I have no say on if itβs ok or not but I appreciate this story not being white washed either for what itβs worth.
