#i am black

[comatosebunny09]

Reading a delicious, feet-kicking, giddy-laughing reader-insert fic, and then suddenly seeing,

“You blushed/flushed a bright red.”

“He ran his fingers through your soft, silky hair.”

“He licked your taut stomach.”

[official-oshun]

a lot of people both in real life and in fandom spaces don’t seem to understand what transracial adoption is, let alone normal adoption, and how it absolutely is a family formation. It’s not a vague “found family” without labels, but instead it is a family akin to blood.

and please, if you would:

stop calling canon adoption in media “found family” 

stop assuming adoption can’t be done by ppl bio related to the adoptee

stop assuming family needs to look alike, in real life and in fiction

stop using the “they are adopted” to explain why your ships is “normal”

stop assuming people who look “different” that are participating in culture festivals aren’t related to the cultural. ex: that black person you see participating in the krakowiak could be mixed or transracially adopted by a polish couple and connected to polish traditions. it’s not cultural appropriation if it is your culture.

Bitches will get depressed at 3 a.m. on their period and write a song to yell at their dad for being transphobic to them.

my mom, putting french onion dip in day old mashed potatoes: "try it, it's really good!"

me, a normal person: "this is why I don't eat food that white people give me"

I’m Canadian but my mother grew up in the States, so not sure how much you can really call me an African American. Either way, I refer to myself as I always have. Black.

That is what I am, that is what I expect most people to refer to me as. So next time some bitch ass tells you it’s wrong to call me Black, or you have a voice in your head saying otherwise… shut them up.

Black is not a dirty word.

And please remember, Black is good is a radical concept, but radical concepts are what create change. Keep fighting.

YOU MUST TRY TO LOVE YOURSELF WHEN NOTHING ELSE DOES. THIS WILL BE THE HARDEST PART

I'm like super normal and not unhinged in the slightest (I spent 3 days formatting, printing, and binding a niche internet story about sci fi football into a 280 page physical book)

being a sanji fan is an intense experience because it takes you like 200 episodes to finally understand why sanji's eyes turned lifeless for a flickering moment at those words

Maybe in another life, things would be different.

“gay son or thot daughter,” you start to ask, but you can’t even finish your sentence because cosmo and wanda heard “gay son” and immediately started cheering and clapping
