As a fellow Indian, I agree and hope Kamala doesn't get this treatment.
actually i have been thinking about this since last night so i need to post. this is the latest official art that was commissioned and shared by CC. and cordelia does NOT look like a woman of colour.
THEIR SKIN TONES ARE LIKE BARELY ONE SHADE APART. i am SO mad that there are STILL whitewashed artworks being shared by CC. especially with cordelia, where there is a history of whitewashed artworks, as you can see.
now compare all these with these two art pieces and tell me they're all the same person.
let me illustrate further. in the cordelia and james art, at least a contrast can be seen between the colours of their skin. in the matthew and cordelia art, their skin tones look the same.
and i'm not much of an artist, but i do know with certainty that it's not because of the "lighting" or whatever.
EDIT: please read my reblogs in the notes before commenting.
Here it is.
I plan to draw Kamala Joshi in a Nauvari sari. I feel it would suit her and hope @cassandraclare can include this in her story or maybe @cassandrajp can also draw her in this attire. I was born and raised in Mumbai so I’m very excited at the prospect of my city being included in a series I love. The Nauvari ( Nine yards of fabric) is also referred to as the Kaashta or Lugade. It is a traditional sari of the state of Maharashtra and Mumbai is the state capital. Unlike other sarees, the Nauvari is built to mirror the traditional trousers that men wore and is made to be comfortable and easy to move in. It was also the staple of the Maratha clan of fighters, which was a clan that rivalled the Mughals in power and firmly established guerrila warfare training in their soldiers.
My cat would say this and I won't question it.
Peter: Do you mind if i take the skin off of your furby?
Peter: I want to make him a God. Once he is free of his sinful flesh, he can begin the path towards enlightenment. He will take care of us
Bucky: I literally could not care less but never say anything that frightening ever again
I love her, your honor.

First of all, what stuff did they remove or refurbish from Jordelia's house to accommodate the sightseeing throngs? What's gone and what's left?
Also Rupert just trying his best to get Jemma to poke around in the right direction:
What's interesting to note is that back in the covid era, TikTok was banned along with a number of Chinese apps in India (around 40 of them). You know what happened? People simply moved on to Instagram or Snapchat. I think something similar may happen. And American companies like Meta will greatly benefit. They might even launch a new app.
How does the batfam celebrate the TikTok ban?
So my two cents that no one asked for is that a TikTok ban is actually Not A Good Thing. A lot of small businesses and artists (including my own band) rely on TikTok for marketing and growing an audience. TikTok is also a source of community for people from marginalized groups who might not feel safe expressing themselves in real life, especially younger folks. Not to mention the amount of real-time news we get that other sites suppress, such as the raw footage from Gaza or people organizing healthcare protests.
Does TikTok have issues specific to its platform? Undeniably. It's a digital meth house where I got flagged for the using the fuck word in a lyric. But when you find yourself dealing with a meth house, you don't take a wrecking ball to it and evict the residents. Banning Tiktok won't stop the widespread trends that other social media sites have now adopted. We still have short-form content. We still have algorithms tailoring our feed for the maximum dopamine rush while bombarding us with ads. Companies are still harvesting and selling our data. The worst people you can think of still have a Wi-Fi connection.
What will happen if TikTok is banned is that all these people and all these problems will be dispersed even further, making them even harder to address. All the while, it sets a dangerous new precedent for government censorship and the level of power it has over our information and communication. I don't know about you, but the shit I can't access worries me a lot more than all the shit I can.
Yes. It happened, unfortunately.
I saw this and felt like it should be shared here too

Hi.
This author is a friend of mine and I would heavily appreciate if you read their work. The effort they've put into writing this story is phenomenal. You can also find all sorts of updates on this story on their blog @midnight-favours-the-meek
Hi, I’m Ivy Curtain. I’m a writer who focuses on worldbuilding in contemporary fantasy. You can read my current novel, Midnight Favours The Meek on Wattpad and soon on AO3. It is a story about religious trauma, magic, love and finding happiness. I will update it every second week.
On this blog you can find extra content like the Mythology of the Patruh, artwork of characters or snippets before a new chapter will be published. No spoilers though.
A cursed bride, trying to make her family proud.
An outlaw still fighting for his people.
A diplomat looking to repay an old dept.
And a teen who seeks to finally break the cycle.
They won't find what they looking for and yet so much more.
The Patruh, last of the magical peoples, live among us humans in secret. Since ancient times they are hunted by a Christian secret society. Only in dreams they can be themselves and use their powers, in the magical city of Alasma.
Balria is the youngest daughter of the High priestess, looking for a betrothed in the high society of Patruh, when she gets cursed by the Goddess of the Lost. She has to appease the Goddess or find a way to lift the curse before anyone notices, or the reputation of her family is destroyed forever. Balria teams up with faithless outsider Tojas to find a break for her curse. But Tojas seems to have a motive of his own, a bold or reckless plan. And a heart for Balria.
Together, they uncover a secret that will shatter the very concept of magic.
