I Want To Point Out That Jared, Paul, Quil, Jacob, And Embry Are All Sixteen. Seth Is Fourteen. They

i want to point out that jared, paul, quil, jacob, and embry are all sixteen. seth is fourteen. they are native teenage boys written by a racist white women who bastardized an existing culture to create a racist interpretation of native teenagers. they are written to be out of control, violent, and angry, regardless of the fact that that goes against what little characterization they do have, or, in the case of paul, writing his sole characterization to be “extra angry.”

above all, they are children. even though the author does so in canon, they should not be sexualized. they should not have sexual headcanons written about them. there should not be sexual posts made about them. you should not have sexual feelings about them, especially when they are violent in nature. that is not appropriate towards any character, particularly characters of color, and particularly minor characters. they should not be sexualized, because they are children.

there is nothing wrong with liking twilight, but as fans (particularly those who are white like me) we need to be mindful of the very real harm that is created with stereotypes like the ones meyer perpetuates in the entire saga, and do our best to avoiding perpetuating them ourselves.

Thinking about Steve Harrington and why I really love his redemption arc, and I think one of the big things is that, like… he doesn’t really get anything out of it? He gets his ass kicked in every season. His girlfriend dumps him (after cheating on him, depending on how you interpret everything that went down with Nancy and Jonathan). He went from the being the most popular guy in the school to a loser, a joke. His social circle consists of middle school students. The next girl he falls for turns out to be a lesbian. He couldn’t get into college and is working a shitty minimum wage job in an embarrassing uniform. In his words, he makes three bucks an hour and he has no future.

Like, he’s never rewarded by the narrative for becoming a good person, and he’s never given any Freudian excuses for how much of a dick he was through most of S1. He just realized that he was being shitty and decided to do better. I appreciate that.
