Its so hard being a black women who likes fanfiction. Like there is just still so little representation. Even when things are “reader” they are coded for white people.
No one is running their fingers through my silky hair. Or brushing hair out of my eyes behind my ear. I have an afro and when I dont its in twists. Also, black women dont really let people touch or play in their hair.
I dont have pink nipples.
I dont blush. My skin will not turn red no matter how hard Im blushing.
Now I thought it was hard in the Peaky Fandom. But there are some amazing black fic writers here and likely more have emerged since I havent been active in the fandom for a few years.
Trying to read Kpop fan fiction, its even harder to find representation.
If you are in any of the fandoms below, please comment or reblog with your fave black fanfic writers.
Mine are

A rant on BRAT, tumblr, and pop culture from a certified grandma.
*this is not an invitation to start drama I WILL block you if you engage in bad faith.*
I’m going to resist the urge to turn this thing into a “think piece” so I’ll get right into it.
I have noticed a trend (see here and here) of people not giving much thought to what Charli’s music is about (not these specific anons just people in general) and it seems to go hand in hand with others still criticizing her for making “catchy club music” and her lyrics being “not deep enough.” From these attitudes there’s been an even more mistaken one that claims the album “glorifies drug use.” I want to point out that I find this especially disappointing coming from 1975 fans because making pop songs that have dark, deep, “real” meanings is the signature move of a 1975 track. So, I have to ask why we afford Matty Healy the opportunity to be vulnerable and smart (even to the point where we laugh — as we should, mind you— at people who think looking for somebody to love or It’s Not Living are about love) but we don’t do the same for Charli? Could it, perhaps, be internalized sexism?
Matty and Charli, while being very different in some respects, have A LOT in common artistically. They’re both into satire and performance (Charli has spoken a lot about how the “brat” persona is a projection born of insecurity), she makes dancey songs that are about parasocial relationships, inter-generational trauma, being a woman in her industry and under capitalism in general, stereotypical expectations of female artistry, being a woman and having to contend with child-baring and what you think of your family life, what love looks like, etc. and yet we want to reduce her mentions of club culture into “glorifying drugs.” Or “mean girl aesthetic.” I mean, she sings in Sympathy is a Knife about how it’s in her head and that she’s conditioned to feel pitted against women who are different from her just because of the nature of how women are socialized and people still only view her as a hater.
Moreover, I think seeing the brat movement as a celebration of pathological drug use is narrow minded. If you don’t understand the appeal or feel it, that’s one thing. But to say that’s the albums fault is just plainly and objectively wrong. “BRAT” is clearly more about the mindset and the approach that she has to femininity. Which is why you see lots and lots of posts online about being a brat who has hobbies like knitting and reading, never going to the club, going to bed at 9 pm (myself included in this category. I relate to SO MUCH of her stuff and I’m introverted to a fault. I need to be on medication in order to go out).
The real reason that this album has blown up in the say that it has is (not because it’s one dimensional and only appeals to dance-inclined folks; not because it romanticizes drugs; not because it encourages hatred) because it’s authentic and vulnerable. You don’t need to be into club culture or anything in order to underage or connect with aspects of the record. That’s how you gain mainstream appeal. When the work is well done and there’s thought behind it, it’s likely to gain an audience.
You don’t have to like it. But you can’t put that on the album.

said i may rant ab emily axford and i will. it could just be the people i'm following, but i haven't seen as much love for doomsday diaries as her naddpod music! and i'm obsessed with doomsday diaries! it honestly might be my desert island album. it's so fucking good. i cannot say how much i love it.
not only are the songs so fucking good, they tell a story! It's got plot! she wrote a cute-sounding apocalypse album with a whole ass storyline and i love it. just. listen to doomsday diaries for me.
below the cut, i will be ranting about specific songs because i can't not. i need to. in conclusion, emily fucking axford.
evacuation?? are you kidding me with the "wear comfortable shoes" being the last line of the first verse and of the whole song? AND AND "and don't bring the memories, delete and erase, they'll only hold you back, you haven't got the space" i want to scream that part. i want to scream the whole chorus. "there's too many ways, to protest and fight for, the better days" and then the lull of "but they're gone, you should be too" the contrast brings me pure joy. glee.
and one of my favorite songs ever. is this love or mass extinction. could quote whole verses. "the flirting and the phone calls, and that cataclysm" and "my heart is a kingdom, that's been pillaged and razed" and the "serendipity or global calamity?" come. on. i love this song. it's a song about having love so world-shattering and loving someone who has burned the world down. i can't express. it was the top song on my spotify wrapped with something like 125 listens. hours i have spend listening to this song.
i love love love love the beginning of grey goo. "2023 and a biotech named steve, fueled by good intentions and a curiosity" i want to type out all of these songs in their entirety, but this is a highlights reel ok. "i look at all your freckles and your dimples and and your scars, the colors and the shapes that made you who you are, let the robots turn our every cell into their skin, but i will never forget the landscape of your skin" an entire verse because. "but i will never forget the landscape of your skin." again, could give the whole song. so good.
robot rebellion. the dancey lil dance i do to this song. upbeat and pretty to have lines like "'cause i am not afraid to die, long as you're here by my side" and "so go ahead and do your worst, 'cause i ain't givin' in without a fight" and the last verse! "we can run we can run we can run, and we can make our home amongst the trees, and i'd be happy there just you and me" pls i love it
bangers all around. i can do more of this. i can do this for almost every song. i'm stopping because god that's a lot of words but look at me. look at me and listen. this album? cannot get enough love. pls. and the cover is my favorite thing in the whole world. a selfie from a low angle of a poorly-lit emily, with sunglasses on, completely neutral, with beautiful tree branches and a blue sky above her and a comet photoshopped above her head and the words "Doomsday diaries" in the top right corner, and the loop of the y in doomsday is also the d in diaries. it's perfect, no notes. album cover of all time.

≈ aurora, bathroom. with @laineycaldwell
Look, unfortunately Aurora was the better club of the three this tiny, lifeless town had to offer. All love to Max, of course, but Static was a bit too dancey for her, and The Vault — ugh, talk about if toxic masculinity was a bar and a dancefloor combined. She was Madisyn fucking Huang, she wasn’t wasting a Saturday night hanging around fighting men and sweaty walls. So, Aurora it was. It had Drag Queens and absolute bops of the pop persuasion, and fruity cocktails. The unfortunate bit?
Whats-her-face the fucking annoying bartender. 
In fact, after their last interaction, to which Madisyn was oh-so-definitely in the right, the disgraced influencer found herself storming to the bathroom, angry and tipsy and smearing her lipstick across her face in the mirror as she ranted to anyone who would listen, even if most people were flat-out ignoring her.
“God, she thinks she’s so fucking great, like she has power or something. Like fuck off she’s a bartender. In Nowheresville, Illinois! And she dresses like a toddler got hold of a fucking Black Amex card. And the blatant favoritism? I was waiting for like, twenty minutes to get served and she fucking passed me over for someone else. I swear if I get my hands on Jen-Jamie….whatever the fuck her name is, not even the grimiest little shack of a bar would hire her.”

sometimes i wish i could better eloquate just how expressive ryu is. like i'm always talking about how she scrunches her nose a lot when she laughs and i often compare it to like, looking at the sun. just flushed and squinting, but so free. when she's squealing and screaming mid rant whenever she's excited doing her little delighted dancey-dance because she doesn't even have words anymore so its easier to just yell. i genuinely enjoy writing her excited and raving about whatever she's hyperfixated on. like i know i write a lot of introspection about her troubles, but its because that's like not as easily readable as her just general sunny personality, she's just so fun and loud. and i like being able to write her silliness.

Rant time.
Okay, look, we all know Viva Las Vengeance is a whole…. something that isn’t quite Panic! At The Disco, nor is it anything particularly amazing either because Brendon can’t write for shit, but I think one aspect in which we can cut it some slack is the beautiful musical disaster that is:
Sad Clown
What could possibly be the saving grace for this astronomical fuckup of a song?
Well, you’re absolutely right in that it is an underwhelming absolute lack of an orgasm after chafing your genitals for a fucking hour, but dear god, in a way, doesn’t that make SENSE? Look, we know Brendon Urine didn’t do it on purpose at all cuz, you know, he’s a dumb cunt and not a 5’1 autistic man hoarding literature degrees like a useless dragon hoards gloves for hands it doesn’t have. But if he HAD done it on purpose, Sad Clown could have been recognised as a satisfyingly UNsatisfying metaphor for, well, unsatisfying…ness.
Consider:
"I pop a pill to feel euphoria. Five minutes, ten minutes, to a half an hour, But not the rest of my life."
And
"Even though I'm smiling, I'm crying. I'm sick and tired of trying, I'm dying. Is this all there is?"
In a badly done, even babygirlification somewhat, of the Hey Ya theme of sad lyrics on a preppy dance tune (and look, I never said the lyrics were good), we can extrapolate the story being told here; ex-lovers, one, Maggie presumably, has moved on quite happily whereas our protagonist has not, though he puts on a front of happiness and copes with drugs, and while the drugs may give him a temporary relief, he knows that he cannot rely on this permanently.
How does this make a shit song a good song?
In an overly analysed close-reading of the music, which I am absolutely qualified to do because I took music theory class for one year in highschool and I'm a man on the internet, I can conclude that this song just doesn't have a chorus? Sure, Urine tried, but if you actually ignore the urge to do a dancey dance and listen for like two secs, you'll realise that the "chorus" is just a whole lotta buildup with no payoff. Bridges, no chorus. Chafing, no orgasm, whatever fucking analogy you wanna roll with. We literally get like three bridges in a row:
"Five minutes, ten minutes, to a half an hour For the rest of my life."
I call this the pre-bridge. It's different to the verse, and we get a sense of "change is coming" in the dropping of the notes towards the end of the bar, and even the general softer, more emotive tone in Urine's voice in "For the rest of my life," however this isn't yet a bridge in the same way most of us would recognise one.
"Leave me alone (a paliacciao triste) Leave me alone (he not so molto bene)."
Bridge 1: Huge musical buildup in the drum, the dropout of other instruments (again, a common indication of "get ready, it's coming!") and the inclusion of the backup singers singing the goofiest fucking shit I've ever read in my life.
"Your majesty's magnificent. My tragedy is imminent. Even though I'm smiling, I'm crying, I shall win."
Bridge 2: Oh, another bridge? I mean, it COULD have been a chorus, but its that last line where we get basically exactly the same musicality of the first bridge, but louder, and man I'm on the edge of my seat. I'm waiting for the climax, I'm rearing to fucking GO.
guitar riff
Oh.
That was it?
That was...
Well, I didn't come that's for sure.
Where the fuck is the chorus, Urine? Because I sure as shit didn't hear one! I feel like I'm back four years in time with my ex who had the weakest dick game I've ever seen in someone without erectile dysfuction.
And then that ending too. He screeches that last note (and this is the only comment I'll make on Urine's actual singing capabilities because that's a whole other rant for another day) and then everything just... dies. And not even in a satisfactory way. No fade out, no sharp sudden stop; it gives the vibe of the orchestra awkwardly realising the conductor's stopped and is glaring at the trombones.
It is unsatisfying
BUT IT FUCKING WORKS.
AND I'M SO MAD THAT IT WORKS.
Literally an entire song about dissatisfaction, faking pleasure/happiness, relying on temporary highs that ultimately never amount to anything, AND IT IS MOST UN-FUCKING-SATISFYING SHIT I'VE EVER LISTENED TO.
WHY

MHA SEASON 6
We get to see Dabi do his lil dancey dance tomorrow!! I'm so excited!! I've been waiting for this moment ever since I read the manga. But when you think about it, Dabi is about to traumatize little kids watching tv. Could you imagine you're watching Peppa Pig or some shit, and then a half-burnt nugget just appears on your screen ranting about his family's generational trauma, and exposing his family? I'd be traumatized as well! Also, someone very close to him is going to get a front row seat to this absolute shitshow. The drama is real in this season! And some of you have the nerve to complain about "the plot in the past couple seasons" When this season is over, you'll wish we could go back to those times. Trust in manga readers when they say be prepared!

tech week rants n rambles yall know the drill
things that are sparking joy right now:
props crew bc at my friends' theater, her props crew is like, evil. and our props crew is GREAT!! shout out to props i love them!!
how amazing collignon's mother and father look together. like their costumes are so european grandparentcore it's actually insane. they look great and they have great dynamic. plus it's fun to quick change their wigs
we did 5 songs today bringing our speed up to 1.42 songs per hour!!
some actors are so speedy with their quick changes like shout out to our Bretodeau/Collignon's Father/Adrien for playing every character ever and being so great about turning every single one of his changes from a 4 person job to a 1 person job
when the booth goes bright is officially the serotonin song because of the little dancey dances that the cast does, it's the most dancey number in the show and i'm in the process of learning it so i can dance to it in the wings
adding to the thing above, if you know the lyrics there's a bit about the girl from the factory and we have 2 dancers doing that whole bit as a piece of choreo while nino sings about it
things that are not sparking joy right now:
we are STILL NOT DONE WITH ACT 1
despite there being 2 days until opening :)
i think it's officially accepted that we're not finishing teching this play
rip Amelie 2023 i guess
this is so real and true of us

It’d be nice to read some smut that doesnt involve the following...
~Daddy Kink(why is it everywhere? This many people cant be in to that)
~Dom/Sub scenarios. (Not a fan)
~Choking
~ pet names like “babygirl” or anthything similair.
Im not saying it doesnt exist, but if it doesnt have one, chances are it has the other. Im not shaming people who like it. Its just become common practice I cant get away from it.
