Color Adjusting for POC with PSDs Made for White People

amorverus:

Since there aren’t half as many PSDs or coloring tutorials designed for POC, I figured a better way is to show people how to adjust the PSDs or techniques they already have on hand instead.

Things we will look at:

  1. How to recognize white washed POC**
  2. How to fix it

I’ve divided it into 3 parts under the cut 😀

**This is also for people who reblog things and want to know what is and isn’t white washing

I’m reblogging this to literally every fandom sideblog I have because they all have POC in the cast who aren’t gif’d enough or have fans who lament that they can never get the coloring/lighting right on their faves.

For some strange reason I have a feeling that Zuri had a child by Hank. I mean they had a lot of sex and even though we don’t know what happened to Her I think in 20 years we’d find out that Zuri and Hank hooked up again. I mean if sean can be somewhat forgiven why not Zuri?

I completely understand people wanting a real romance arc and happy ending for Hank, but…to be honest, I find this somewhat unlikely for a few reasons.

First, Zuri was a member of Black Claw. She tried to say she was only a member because they threatened her brother, but her general attitude before and after that statement was made–plus the context, i.e. trying to gain her captors’ sympathies once she was caught–lends itself to the likelihood of that being a lie.

Black Claw was a Wesen purist organization not unlike the Wesenrein, except that where the Wesenrein seemed to want to return to an “old way” of doing things, Black Claw wanted a “new way” that involved Wesen dominion over humans. But both were based in ideas of Wesen blood purity and superiority, which means as a member of Black Claw, Zuri was unlikely to see Hank as “worthy” of her. She outright said she didn’t date non-Wesen when Hank expressed interest in her earlier in the series, and she only eventually pursued him or slept with him because Black Claw ordered her to.

And honestly? Hank deserves better than that. I’m not saying Zuri is beyond forgiveness or redemption completely. But redemption doesn’t always equal a romantic happily ever after, and maybe in some cases it shouldn’t. Like when the other person is someone who’s already been used and hurt multiple times by women who only expressed interest in him for nefarious ulterior purposes.

So while I would love to see Hank in a happy relationship, I would want it to be with someone who entered that relationship because they liked him, with no ulterior motives or intent to deceive/harm him or his friends.

And if Zuri was truly acting under duress? I would still want a relationship for her that doesn’t involve someone she was forced to sleep with as a survival tactic.

What if Zuri is one of the crazy wesen that’s part of black claw and is trying to get back in with Hank to lure him away from Nick?…i mean she did refer to Nick as “the Grimm”…

I (Mod Siobhan) think you’re right! A sudden change of heart, being in Hank’s local food shop* when it’s waay across town from where she lives, her previous very rigid stance on Human/Wesen relationships. Her brother is away at college, so not in harm’s way, and she did grill him a bit about Nick…

And since we’ve not seen Black Claw specifically go after Nick, only attack him when he was with HW, this must be their plan, since there is no way they think they can hold Portland with Nick still alive…

I’d like to add that Zuri asked Hank to go to her house, instead of going out in public. Her house, which is the other side of town, where she would feel comfortable and would not be seen with Hank.

Also, notice the way Hank has been acting around her? He’s been dealing with Wesen for quite a while now, and should not be so nervous/anxious/tense(?) around her. Admittedly, I did try to rationalise it with the idea that he hadn’t quite thought through a relationship with a Wesen when he originally asked her out, and now is having second thoughts about it. However it makes much more sense for Hank to be tense because his instincts are telling him something is wrong.

I meant to say about the house thing, but then I wondered if that was an Americanism, because you do not go round to someone’s house on a first date in Britain unless they’re like, already your friend or like neighbours or something.

Looks like it’s not, and it is very suspicious, especially since she didn’t even think about going out – Hank barely finished his sentence before she was ready with that one, she’d clearly planned it out to be like that rather than a spur of the moment decision, or just an option.

I do think Hank is anxious and his instincts are pinging, ‘cause mine are. Even if you were desperate for a second chance with someone, there’s ‘I’MREALLYSORRYGOONADATEWITHME’ and Zuri’s literal ‘I’m not leaving until I get a date with you’.

Which is not only creepy, but not like Zuri at all, especially since she obviously felt Hank came on way too strong before and reacted that way. She was nice and chatty, but to me seemed very introverted, and not like this new Zuri who practically threw herself at Hank? I know people change, but it’s just not like the Zuri I remember who like, ate a dude. I think she’s not the Zuri Hank remembers, and that’s also why he feels weird about it.  Didn’t he also take a few moments to put a name to her face as well, whereas she knew him straight away, almost like she was waiting for him…
