I don’t understand why so many people draw humanized!Pearl with dark skin and dark hair.

And then go “but, white people have enough representation, and I want to draw more people of [nonwhite race of your choice], therefore she has to look completely different!”

like

canon Pearl has pale, almost paper-white skin

canon Pearl has pale orangey hair

the albino option is right there

look, fandom, let me show you the most Pearl-hued actualfax human being you have ever seen:

this is Diandra Forrest, she’s black, she’s albino, and she looks more like Pearl than 90% of the human!Pearl drawings out there.

(see also her Instagram, caution sometimes nsfw)



here she is again

I mean come on people

she’s not even cosplaying

and like. there are a million human!Jaspers with vitiligo, because people figured out that was the easiest real-world equivalent of how her skin looks. so where are all the human!Pearls with albinism??

make Pearl black, make her desi, make her native, make her literally any race/ethnicity you want. she can still look exactly like canon Pearl! you can eat your representation cake and have it too, with a bonus albino-representation cherry on top!

(ps: anyone who has already drawn albino human Pearl, thank you, you are a treasure, please send me links because I will reblog that like there’s no tomorrow)
