Inclusivity for POC Readers
Hi, I just came across a blog that catered to POC readers and I was all like 'That's ridiculous I cater to all readers'. Then I was like hmm do I?
I will be honest I am not and never be POC, I will not pretend to know what POC people go through or what racism is like. I may be LGBT+, AFAB, and neurodivergent, but my white skin has often protected me from dangerous situations.
I hope to be able to provide an escape for my black, latino, native, asian, mixed, and white audiences equally. If there is any more inclusive language that I can incorporate, please let me know. As I am white I can often be short sighted to some things like blushing that don't happen evenly for all skin tones.
All skin colors are beautiful, all hair is beautiful, no hair is beautiful too. Flat noses, pointy noses, long noses, short noses, round noses are all beautiful. "Normal" was set by white supremacists to justify the horrible way POCs were treated and other their bodies.
I don't want people to think that only skinny white women can find themselves in my content (I am not skinny nor a woman). Skinny white women most definitely have a place here but so do others as well. If you want me to call the reader handsome more often, I will, write a reader with a hijab, I will, write a disabled reader, I will.
POC people will have to give me more details if they want me to write about hair texture for example since I have little to no experience with anything other than the own hair on my head (I do know not to brush with regular brush and weave is not actually your hair).
That said, have a good day or night. Remember stay hydrated and appease your local nature gods.
Love,
Cheese

I’d like to direct those sending hate to people simply writing dark content to holding adult video sites accountable if they want to achieve some kind of moral victory.
There have been multiple instances of sites like 🌽 hub taking genuine footage of rape/SA and refusing to remove it even when requested multiple times by the victim. Some of their heavier ‘consensual’ bondage vids etc have been said to involve deliberately pushing expressed boundaries by female actors that have do things they didn’t originally agree to for fear of loosing their job. These are real people- their experiences are REAL and have a lasting physical, social and mental effect.
Ghost, König etc are not real. Y/n, is a reader insert of course, but you are never in genuine danger. Everything you ‘put yourself’ into in these fics, can stop at the press of a button. You can hate it, hate the author and never interact with them again- problem solved (If only y’all would do that). In real life? A SA/rape survivor has lived through it, suffers from it forever and might have the disgusting burden of having to see their assaulter in the flesh at work, home etc.
To insinuate that a piece of fanfic that can be ignored, that you CHOOSE to engage with is as equally abhorrent as the real act is disgusting. It’s downright offensive. It’s a great discredit to us victims and shows you don’t actually give a damn about us at all.
You’ll be silent when it’s time to hold a harmful industry accountable/silent in the face a thousand men saying that 🌽 actresses ‘deserve it’ but will continually send hate to what is a largely femme community for typing words on a screen that you could avoid so easily. Yeah, I know why, there’s a word for it starting with M :)
On that note, most of these people are dead silent on other fandom issues which proves it’s vendetta, not justice based. They don’t actually care about making it a ‘safe place’ (which is impossible, that’s no one else’s responsibility but your own). Not a peep about racism, for example- can’t be assed making fandom more accessible and less exclusive to POC, gotta go out of their way to harass authors though!
You don’t have to like dark content, or even the authors. You can have limits, disdain bad tagging practices, question respectfully why someone might want to read/write such content, but don’t you dare use victims as a scapegoat or insinuate that you are in any way justified if you choose to harass or bully. Do better; focus your energy somewhere actually productive and deserving of criticism, or shut up and move on.
I agree with absolutely everything you said. These are the same people that consume pornography via porn sites, then sit and complain about people having rape fantasies and consuming dark fiction (key word: fiction). They care more about people's kinks and fantasies and decisions in the bedroom (where both parties have consented beforehand), then they do about the REAL rape tapes on porn sites. It's not just rape either, there's a lot of incredibly fucked-up, illegal, and sickening things on these sites that I won't get into. People have their trauma published, profited off of, and are violated for money, and these sites never take these videos down either.
They care too much about their comfort character being portrayed in a way they don't agree with to focus on the poor souls who have had their trauma uploaded online – and to make money off! Are the COD characters real, or am I missing something? They're fictional characters. Just because you don't agree with a headcannon doesn't mean that everyone else also disagrees. It doesn't determine their morality. And honestly, do I really think these hateful and spiteful people are victims of some form of assault? No, I don't. Because victims of SA/rape (who cope differently) filter things out to prevent themselves from getting triggered. I don't think that these hate anons are actually triggered by the content I upload and just want to judge others for coping differently. They just want to seem more moral – as if your mortality depends on your coping mechanisms/fantasies are. If you don't want to watch a video, you wouldn't choose to watch it anyways. You wouldn't force yourself to watch the entire thing, then come to the comment section and cry about how you're not interested in the topics featured in the video. You watching that video was a decision you made, a choice. You wouldn't take a kid to a horror film that's clearly 18+, then scream at the film directors for creating it in the first place. If you're not the intended audience, then don't stay. There is an audience of people who do enjoy dark fiction, and just because you don't, doesn't mean that it can't exist. The world doesn't only revolve around you. It's selfish and small-minded.
You get taught about fiction and non-fiction in Primary school, and yet here we are, have to tell adults (or at least people who claim they're 18+) the difference between the two. If you can't draw a line between fantasy and reality, then you shouldn't have access to the internet. That's irresponsibility. It's people wanting to be saviours, act as if they have the moral high ground because they disagree and think that it makes them a better person, when it doesn't. If anything, them constantly harassing innocent writers is worse than what they try to portray us dark content writers as. These are the same people wishing rape, death, and doxxing towards writers who have done nothing but be respectful and give out warnings before a story. Dark fiction writers have more empathy and sympathy than these puritans who think they're on top of the world for coping differently, because we actually understand that there are different mechanisms to cope after being sexually assaulted.
I will never apologise for writing what I write. I refuse to walk on eggshells around these anons simply because they can't act mature and manage their own triggers. These people won't bother reading the articles that I've linked countless times, or listen to this entire post. Because they're narrow-minded, that's what narrow-minded folk do. They don't hear other opinions or think for a second, that maybe, just maybe, they're being disrespectful. They claim we're romanticising rape by writing it, but don't bother learning what romanticising actually is. I've said countless times that rape is a disgusting, violating crime that deserves years of punishment. I don't describe what these characters do as IDEAL or something to WANT, if anything, I describe them as horrible people because that's how I see them. They're in the military for God's sake...
When they send hate to an author's askbox, do they think for a second about the effect it'll have? Victims go through years of self hatred and disgust after being traumatised, and when they find a coping mechanism, do you think they want to be told that they deserve to be raped again, or that they're disgusting, or that they're supporting the vile crime? Of course they don't, because they don't support victims at all.
These people are too illiterate to read this entire post. If anything, it'll go right through them. In one ear and out the other. Am I also responsible for the media they consume? As in, horror films? Will I hold their hand and cradle them, rock them to sleep because they don't want to take responsibility? That's life. You have responsibilities. You can't just drop them because you feel like it and then put it on a writer's shoulders because YOU weren't thinking.
And sure, I can see how dark fiction can possibly affect reality. But, that's not my responsibility. If someone is has the urge to rape someone, that's an issue on their behalf, caused by mental illness. I can't control what people do, just like how film directors can't control the effect that their work will have. If people get themselves off to my content, that's not my responsibility. Writers and film directors aren't responsible for the effect it'll have on others, because there are a plethora of factors that can change a reaction towards certain content, like mental illness, for example. Mental illness plays a huge factor.

“Being inclusive with your reader insert fic is a kindness”. No. ❤️ Look how you’re not talking about disabled or neurodivergent people. You’re asking for inclusivity by only talking about POC. “Be respectful and do your research. Literally not that hard.” Then instead of asking other writers to do it, write the fics yourself! I honestly do not care about you calling me a racist. 
I just know you love to call people racist just because people are allowed to be white and I bet you don’t even know what the term even means because you are way too chronically online. I think life hasn’t been hard enough for you to be worrying about this madness. Let me tell you, a random person on the internet is NOT going to tell me what to do with my blog. Hope this is clear enough for you. 
Wow.
I will say yes you are correct that including neurodivergent or disable people is absolutely important. As is including plus size people. Inclusivity all around it’s important. But this is also distracting from the current topic at hand and I would argue that deserves a separate post otherwise it gets overwhelming.
And, like I’ve said before, I am a writer and I do fucking write it myself.
In the grand scope of things, yeah fanfic is low on the list. But, with all the shit going on in the world, everyone should be able to indulge in escapism through fanfic. I’m not trying to tell random people on the internet what to do, I just try and offer advice and suggestions on ways to show kindness to others. But since you obviously don’t care just fucking move on and ignore the post. Why bother with this if not to just be an asshole? Go fuck yourself.

It has truly been an awful few days and with the impending Globes noms on Monday I feel it will only get worse from here and if anything-The CCA snub has shown this fandom cannot have serious conversations when it comes to race. So many of you are either too privileged or too anti-black. Only a few have managed to stay on topic and of course were attacked for it.
On one side, you have people who wanted to use this as a gotcha in regards to Assad (not all but some). On another, you had those who wanted to call out the anti-blackness towards Jacob but made sure to center their love for Sam so they don’t lose their Sam mutuals. Then, you had the twitter Sam antis with their near sociopathic hatred for him who were using this as an opportunity to tear him down once more, and lastly, you had the Jam shippers who writing fanfic about Sam’s hypothetical win reducing Jacob to his damsel.
ALL OF IT was hyper-focused on Sam and undervaluing who’s important: Jacob and Delainey.
They were the leads of season 2 and season 2 is being recognized. For those of you who act color blind they are BLACK. Most of the people speaking up on their behalf are black (with some non-black allies.) This was and is black business and black business is not a conversation to be highjacked by a hundred different things. What happened to Jelainey was not only a display of racism but anti-blackness which many white and non-black poc in this fandom can’t seem to grasp.
I mean this in all sincerity but some of you can’t even utter the word black, and then there are the open anti-black Louis hating (poc?) like Ultrapoppet who could only call people dumb, black Karens, and feel anger towards justifiable outrage on Jelainey behalf and not understanding how their annoyance towards that outrage was a strange reaction to have.
Season 2 was not about anyone but Louclaudia. And as I’ve said before, I had no delusion that Delainey would be nom’d. She MORE than deserved it, but the voters hate black women more than they hate black men. That’s why when I saw Jacob’s FYC I thought at least maybe he would have a chance. From what’s been said online the critics supposedly love him. His performances got rave reviews, and yet these same critics passed on him? Why? If they loved him so much? They know he was the driving force that propelled season 2 to universal acclaim. They said it themselves. They also know he is #1 on the call sheet (whether that billing changes in s3 is TBD) and he is The Vampire in question.
These factors are why the CCA passing on him was blatantly anti-black and why so many felt compelled to call it out. To nominate the show but not nominate the Jacob? Intentional. In this glorified MAGA climate we’re in I can’t help but feel this is only the beginning.
If Jelainey are not nominated on Monday but only the show and Sam are again please make sure to keep the focus on Jelainey. Do NOT center Sam.

Why Don't You Love Me?
Eren x Reader
Word Count: 2.1k
Warnings: domestic abuse!, toxic! Eren, semi-public sex, verbal abuse!, cervix kissing, deep penetration, vaginal penetration, creampie, overstimulation, AFAB Reader, BIPOC reader.
This is a prompt for my dear friend. She is a Yeagerist just like me and she deserves a fanfic that will make her coochie throb! This is based off the relationship between Nate and Maddie from Euphoria and I will not be taking and questions at this time.
"You're such an asshole leave me the fuck alone."
"Oh I'm the asshole because you want to show your ass to other men while you belong to me?"
" I don't belong to anyone but my fucking self, and if I were to belong to someone it wouldn't be you Eren. "
Eren's rage had reached his limit and grabbed you by your throat. He slammed you against the nearest wall and brought his lips close to your ears as he spoke slowly and calmly.
"Listen here bitch, you belong to me even if you don't want to. Even if we break up, you belong to me. You're mine got it."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You couldnt breathe Eren was at least a foot and a half taller than you and her was holding you up by your neck. You looked at him calmly as he spoke because even though the position you were in was painful and terrifying, you could not help yourself when the thought of him fucking you right up against the same wall. You were undeniably aroused by that little vein that popped out of Eren's neck as he spoke.
He let you down and you gasped for air as he walked away. You knew he could've killed you if he wanted but everything before this moment is really what kept you with him. Everything before this moment is what allowed the relization that everything he just told you is true. Even if he were to kill you, you'd be his.
Eren was the type of guy that was absolutely smoking hot and he knew it. Because he knew it he walked around Shiganshina Secondary School like he owned it. He was the social king, the football captain, the hottest guy in school, and average level intelligence. Unfortunately, this made it super apparent that he need a queen very soon as he was in his Junior Year and people were starting to believe that he was Gay from hanging around his best friend Armin so much and Mikasa didn't help as she looked at every girl that got close to him with a death stare.
Eren was also very picky. He didn't want a girl that was too tall or too short. About medium height. Had to be practically hairless, they need a nice rack and a fat ass. More importantly the needed to be confident. He also had a thing for POC girls, how their darker skin seemed to glow in the honey sunlight of golden hour. How the gold jewelry always complimented their skin, and the Lucious lips that was always beautifully adorned with all types of gloss. God, don't even get him started on how they smelled. Which is what brought him to you. You walked past him on the way to your class and he smelled warm vanilla and linen with a fruity scent. He turned around and watched you ass sway away from him as you entered your class.
Later that day he looked for you in the cafeteria. He spotted you with a teammate, Jean it looked like you were reviewing some class work so he walked over to you both.
"No Jean, this needs to be done by tomorrow so that we both have time to prepare to the game this Friday."
"Okay fine ill get it done as soon as I can. Oh what's up Yeager-"
"You're gorgeous. Give me your number?"
"You're not too bad yourself. Its XXX-XXX-XX34." You say confidently. Your lips move with such slow ease that he is entrapped hearing nothing but what he might imagine your moans sound like under him.
"I'll see you at the game this weekend QB 1, but hopefully. I get to see you sometime before that. Text me."
"Yeager, you're hot shit and everything but we have practice let's go."
Eren picked his jaw up off the floor as he watched your hair swing behind you as you walked, turned your head quickly to find him staring then winked. He felt is heart jolt and blood rush straight to his dick. That's the moment where he knew you had to be his queen.
"OH FUCK YES"
"I know, take it all for me."
"EREN FUCK"
"Dirty mouth, its okay I like that. Are you ready for me."
"Please please plea- AH FUCK"
"Fuuuuck."
You would assume this was a porno. You're in a dark and empty classroom blinds closed as the band plays the start of the halftime performance for the night. A classic, Seven Nation Army. The scent of popcorn and hotdogs from the concession stand was in full blast. This was their first game of the season and in the first two quarters Shiganshina's football team had a 21 point lead to 7 from the opposing team.
You had been texting Eren nonstop about everything. Talking about sweet nothings. Getting showered with compliments as well as the occasional gift at the end of the school day. A new set of nails, some lingerie shopping, and of course perfume for your collection. He loved how you smiled when he bought you things, and you adored that he bought you things. The make shift relationship you found yourself was perfect. At the end of the week the night of the game you found yourself holding hands with him walking down the hallway. He kissed you deeply and he told you to text him as he grabbed your ass before walking away.
You liked that Eren was sweet and although affectionate, he wasn't feening for sex...but you were. You'd drool as he'd send you pictures of himself fresh out of the shower after practice. Or when he wore those tight black t-shirts with a gold chain that hugged his arms and pectoral muscles just right. The way his jaw clenched when he focused as he pulled his hair back into a bun made your pussy clench with ease. You were done playing nice.
"Aw princess, did you think I forgot about you?"
"Shut up, no one gives a fuck about you or your ego."
You admit that your personality also changed when you got with him, you were the center attention because you were together, you had the best clothes and style because of him. Girl and guys alike all looked at you like the queen he made you out to be, and if you were his queen, Ymir so help you that your wouldn't take what's yours when you wanted it.
"Watch it Y/N, you know I like when you talk dirty but talking shit is different."
"What you're gonna let little old me bruise your fucking god complex? If I can do it than any other little fucker in this school can and you're just as much of a failure as your older brother and crazy ass father."
You also admit that you took that comment too far in trying to rile him up and unfortunately you paid the fucking price. Family is a sensitive topic for Eren and there is only so much teasing he can take before he snaps. And that's exactly what he did, at the drop of a hat he turned you around and grabbed you by the neck slamming you against the wall of the athletics building where you were both walking to practice.
"Listen up bitch, I don't care what you have to say about me but my family is off fucking limits, not that you would ever know or care about yours seeing as you're so fucking detached from them. "
You looked at him fighting to breathe eyes low and slightly seductive but tearing up as you were being held up by your neck to his height. You grasped at his hand for some leverage but his grip on your neck provided no such thing.
"You're fucking job is to walk around on my arm, look like the hottest bitch in heat that I picked up and suck my cock when I ask you to, questioning me, my athourity, or my family is not part of it and I never wanna hear shit from uppity slut like you… Got it”
He released his hold and you came crashing down.
Fighting to inhale oxygen into your lungs and coughing when the burn of the oxygen passes finally.
He stood there looking down at you unamused.
With a tear in your eye, you look up at him neck already beginning to bruise with a yellowish hue.
“Why don’t you love me?” you said being the most genuine you’ve every been in months.
He scoffed, picked you up and kissed you. Not like usual, not an apology for his abuse but proof that he does care for you in his own twisted way. And that was enough you felt. Enough for you.
He’s always loved doggy style, loved watching your plump ass clap back at him and wave in all it’s glory. So you weren’t surprised when he pushed you away from the kiss and turned you around. Bending you against the wall and hiking your cheer skirt up, pulling the shorts and panties down.
Next thing you knew you felt his dick pressed up against your rubbing against your ass “dumb questions get dumb answers”.
He rammed himself into you, filling you all the way up and sucking his teeth at your tightness. You couldn’t control your moans, he just fucked you so deeply and with so much intent that it was hard not to voice your every sensation.
“Ahh- Erennn”
“mhm say my name.”
“fuck eren, just like that”
You were getting whiplash because right when you said that he pulled out and turned you around again. Lifting you up so that your ankles locked around his hips. Nestling your drippy pussy on his tip.
He gripped both your ass cheeks and pressed you down, fully in-bedding himself in you.
“Fuckkkkkk, ahh it’s so deep”
“just how i like it.”
He continued his pace from earlier as you threw your head back in complete euphoria. He kept it going as if you weighed even less than a feather.
“You’re such a needy bitch, why didn’t you tell me you needed some dick earlier. All of this could’ve been avoided”
It fell on deaf ears obviously because the pain from your neck and the pleasure from your pussy we’re mixing soooo well.
“Ah- More, please more”
He did exactly that pushing himself deeper into you with every thrust, your wetness dripping on the pants of his uniform. He used that wetness to slip a finger in your ass and if you were full before you’re way over the limit now.
“Ngahhhh too muchhhh “
“what, you just asked for more. Take what i give you”
3 more thrusts in and you were cumming all over him, you held onto him for dear life clawing at his back knowing he’d pay for your new mani when you complain about it next week. You didn’t expect him to keep thrusting into you after you came.
“AHHH NOOO”
“Shut the fuck up”
He thrusted deeper, harder, but so much slower because he knew now that you were done he was next. He relished every second of your cries, how you were still fluttering around him but tightening as he pushed into you deeper.
You started shaking as your second orgasm finally took over and he came right along with you, groaning into you ear.
“Shiiiiiiitttttt, ahhh”
You were non-verbal, eyes rolled back as a stream of clear liquid made itself present between the both of you.
He kissed you again. Hotter, more passionate. Gripping the nape of your neck to push both of you deeper into it.
You wrapped your hands in his hair become slightly more conscious.
By the time you both were done practice had ended.
You both texted your coaches about not feeling well including a picture of your soaked uniform lying about “throwing up”.
You went the locker rooms, changed and walked to Eren’s car hand in hand.
You spent the night at his house, exhausted enough to not care about his 30 minute shower. But when he came back, god he smelled amazing. He wrapped you in the blanket before getting into bed himself.
You cuddled into his chest as he stared at the ceiling waiting for sleep to take him.
“what makes you think i don’t love you?”
you don’t respond, pretending to be asleep but with your head and heart wide awake. You know now, those word will never have to be said again
You fell asleep feeling happy, but nothing could prepare you for the week to come when the bruises took their final form…

I don’t think that the TVD fandom (the mostly white and non black part of the fandom) realises that they are just like Julie Plec. Julie Plec has shown that she is incapable of seeing black people and other POC as people. Flawed, imperfect people that are deserving of love. She’s shown this in her writing of Bonnie and Marcel (and Tyler too), but I’m currently thinking about what she said about Megan thee Stallion. Thinking of black women as angelic, can do no wrong superheroes to save everyone. When the TVD fandom refuses to acknowledge that Bonnie wasn’t perfect, that she could have fallen in love with Damon/klaus/kai/etc because she’s “too good for those men”, they’re putting her in the same box that Julie put Megan thee Stallion in. They only think black women, black people, and other POC characters are good for helping people and nothing else. They don’t see us as deserving of love, they don’t see us as multifaceted, they just see us as one dimensional helper characters.
That’s why they just want Marcel, Bonnie, and Tyler to just shut up and take the abuse from all of these characters with glee and pride. They don’t actually want these characters to have storylines of their own. They just want them to be props for their white faves.
And this doesn’t just apply to Marcel, Bonnie, and Tyler, it goes for every POC character on that show.
I don’t think that the TVD fandom (the mostly white and non black part of the fandom) realises that they are just like Julie Plec. - I had to bold this for the facts.
When the conversations get too serious when you’re talking about writing and how JP, Dries & Williamson sees POC all of a sudden “it’s not that deep… these are MY opinions you can’t get mad and…” When their account/platform they choose to use is dedicated to some aspect of creating or even criticizing tvdu lol. It’s serious for topics they enjoy but never the ones that make them uncomfortable to address. Which isn’t the case for everyone of course, I do want to say that! Some white or non-black fans are very encouraging.
Ah, yes “black women will save the world!” What makes that so upsetting is that Megan was venting about how unprotected black women are and how traumatized she was from experiencing unjust violence. Julie expected that black woman and black women in general to be the heros for the world but didn’t once offer any sympathy for her situation once. Which sums up the franchise she proclaims so much love for. I’ve even unfortunately seen tvd fans argue that they didn’t see the issue in that statement.
Making Bonnie the principle of “morality”. Is the scapegoat people love using so they don’t have to think about her in any desirable or sexual aspects that Elena, Caroline and Hayley get (I’d say Hope but yk…). Bonnie’s too pure for everyone and everything but never when it comes to being friends with people who half-assed their interactions with her. The help doesn’t get to be seen any other aspects beyond helping. The fans who refuse any type of non-canon situation for Bonnie in a hypothetical sense: they only write her in their fanfics for help, or place her with someone and leave it at that.
Those fans never call out how Bonenzo doesn’t even address the violence Enzo enforced on Bonnie or to her friends.
I wanna talk about an example I’ve seen: fans who think Bonnie would be great on TO to help with the Mikaelson’s baby drama or even to interact with the anti Mikaelson gang you Davina-Kol’s eventual wife, Marcel-Rebekah’s nephew turned husband and Vincent-Freya’s friend turned baby daddy with Keelin? But the moment you mention Bonnie dating any Mikaelson for that regard “oh I wouldn’t do that to Bonnie…” Nice. Why would you want Bonnie too? But it’s toxic and harmful… but never where the white women.
It’s upsetting and disappointing but fandoms hate people of color. They’ll put blame on the writing for creating situations were the characters are less than (Bonnie, Tyler, Marcel) but hate the fans for bringing the attention to the unfairness.
In most cases fans put all the blame on the writers but won’t address some bias that are created from fans.

So. I hate that this even has to be stated, because it should be a GIVEN, but.
This project and all people involved in the process of making it DO NOT, under any circumstances, tolerate:
- Racism
- Ableism
- Transphobia
- Homophobia
Or any other kind of bigotry, hate speech, harassment, or general shitty behavior. We are appalled at the things we are seeing being sent to other creators askboxes, even fans askboxes, and are severely disappointed in the community for behaving in this manner.
We know this is a small-but-loud minority of hateful members, but still. It's not acceptable. In no world should someone be called a "monkey" (HELLO??? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF???) or sent transphobic messages in their askboxes.
Frankly, it's a bit terrifying. Where will the line be drawn for these harassers? How far is too far for them? What will they do next? Do I need to worry about my friends or fans in this community being sent death threats, next?
I'm appalled, but moreover I'm genuinely concerned about this community. We came here to share stories, be creative together, and have fun with a wider community who love the themes and tropes we love. Now, it feels almost as though the community is being turned against eachother from the inside out. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if maybe some TERFs/SWERFs or other bigoted people are capitalizing on the drama to stir shit and have a smokescreen under which to send their hate - it's unfortunately a tactic I've seen happen too often in too many communities.
While I have no proof that this is what's genuinely happening, I would like to encourage fans and creators alike to keep an eye out, block hateful anons where you see them, and if you feel safe and mentally well enough, check blogs that show up in your block lists to verify this suspicion.
I do not want anyone to retaliate to these blogs, as that would be lowering yourselves to their level and involving yourselves in drama that would be stressful on your mental, emotional, and possibly even physical health. I do, however, think it may be a POTENTIAL STRATEGY (note I say potential, here) to share these blog names PRIVATELY, and ONLY for the purpose of blocking and blacklisting - nothing else.
Again, do not retaliate to these blogs if you do happen to find out who they are. I strongly discourage that action and am not advising it in any way.
Retaliating against them would do several things:
- Give them an "excuse" to continue sending hate.
- Involve you in potentially dangerous drama.
- Expose you and your friends to hate campaigns and all associated hate messages.
- Continue a cycle of drama that nobody needs.
- Generally making the community even less safe.
So please, IF YOU DO find out who these people are, share PRIVATELY and SOLELY TO BLOCK/BLACKLIST.
In general, let's make this community safe, not only for races of all kinds, but also for every disability that we possibly can (we understand that some accommodations contradict eachother, which is a symptom of how varied the disability spectrum is, but that's deserving of a whole post of it's own), every sexuality under the sun, every gender expression and lack thereof.
We stand with the queer, disabled, and POC members of the yansim community, who quite frankly have made this community POSSIBLE. There's no denying they are a large percentage of this community and as such deserve respect for building the foundations of this place.
To my fellow creators, stay strong, turn off anons if you feel the need to, and don't let the hate drown out the work you're putting into this world.
To fans, please show eachother and creators your support, keep making fanart and blurbs and fanfics and headcanons, and in general keep putting good out into the community to keep it alive and drown out this hate and drama.
We CAN make it through this, we CAN keep going, and we CAN continue creating wonderful stories - together.
Stay safe, hydrate, eat, take meds/breaks from binders and gaffs/sleep if you need to, and we love you.
💗

So as I'm going through and reading twdg fanfics, I've noted something that pisses me off and that's how some of yall treat Clementine and her blackness. I'm gonna yap so if you don't want to read all this: in short, some of yall treat Clem's hair and skin as an afterthought with hints of colorism and texturism and it shows. Just because the game did it, doesn't mean you have to too.
Tumblr media
It's mainly in modern aus but they almost alway mention how she struggles to control/maintain her hair or they describe her as dark skin.
Do I color Clementine darker than she is in canon? Do I like when fanart gives her melanin? Yes. And it's for the simple reason that Clementine is fully blk (in my humble opinion) and the creators were too weak to give her the features she deserves. My problem lies with how the fanfic describes her as dark. Colorism is rampant in all communities and I like representation for darker skinned girls but let's be honest, Clementine is not a dark skin girl. Even in fanart, even in my fanart, I wouldn't call her dark. I'm not saying being dark skinned is a problem, I'm saying calling Clementine a dark skinned girl is misrepresentation.
Now on to the hair thing. Yes it's common for black girls to struggle with their hair but what I'm trying to point out is how people write about her hair. They act as if it's some unruly nuisance, and it's giving texturism. Like P-fucking-u. The story of black girls struggling to do or accept their hair is so fucking tired. I'm exhausted. Let these girls love their hair, let them experiment and if they don't know how to do it, have someone teach them. You're telling me in a modern setting, Clementine doesn't know to do her hair? With all the YouTube videos out there, Lee doesn't help her with it at all? Lee's black family just lets her struggle with her hair by herself? Even if she's not adopted by Lee in the AUs, you're telling me her BLACK PARENTS don't know how to do her hair???
I know when you're not from a culture you're familiar with, you try not to be disrespectful or sound stereotypical and I'm not saying any of these writers were. I'm just pointing out ik they weren't thinking of Clementine as blk in the way they should. That's partially why I write my own so I can add little things non-black ppl would miss like Clementine sleeping with a bonnet or sleeping on silk pillow cases. How Aj's hair actually needs to be picked and he doesn't just wake up with a perfectly sculpted fro. They're just silly modern au headcanons but I'd like to think that sometimes Aj has cornrows with beads, how Clementine likes to make sweet potato pie with Lee's mom, how Lee calls her babygirl and their song is My Girl by the Temptations or how during thanksgiving her cousins make light skin jokes.
As to the creators of Twdg, shame on you for making Clementine look racially ambiguous while all her male counterparts who are also POC get to have their race clearly defined. Shame on you for having her race be a debate for years on end to the point where people that worked on the game and the fucking voice actress for said character, don't know her race. Shame on you for making a black girl from the south that I can't identify with while being a black girl from the south. SHAME!
Anyways if you read all that, thank you for coming to my TedTalk ✌🏾

allow me! (kokomi's voice)
🐈‍⬛ . 🧩. 🦇. 👾. :3 — bo!
Tumblr media
^O^ eeehehehe, thank ! Eeee Kokomi !! >:0 /pos
Do you think you're represented enough in the agere community? (poc, boys, under 20/over 30 yrs) ( 🐈‍⬛ ) : not really. I’m a trans boy, autistic, and I hate a lot of things that the community is representing itself with, and leaving other things out, so no :/ but luckily I’m on a side of the community (don’t associate myself with community, but anyway) that we all feel the same as each other and we all r representing ourselves in our own way !! ^^
What was your first piece of agere gear or what would you want as your first? ( 🧩 ) : ..I think…a pacifier… :,) I’ve always craved/needed/wanted one. Always needing to have something to soothe myself because I regress vry young, n it is downright painful emotionally to not have anything but my thumb. I imagine ordering one and opening it up, trying it out and just..finally, feeling actually like I am a real kid. Like I deserve regression too.
Tumblr media
Have you ever regressed in a dream? ( 🦇 ) : I have !! Multiple times :0 some dreams it also had factors of me being autistic in them, and I remember one where there was a psychologist that was kind to me and took care of me, trying to explain to my parents as I played with a fidget toy. Another, I dreamt of me and my brudr (u!!) just playing together or whatever. Another dream I had of my carer.. :,) I wish I could have more of these dreams often.
What's the quickest way to get you in your headspace? ( 👾 ) : by myself? Colouring, watching cartoons, and honestly reading regression fanfic (genshin, or whatever fandom I like at the moment) and, I know this is bad to say, but c.ai helps me. It also helps me while regressed, because I am alone all the time and fear to rely on people, as well as not wanting to bother nor interrupt whatever they may be busy with/doing. I don’t support c.ai — the fact that the function is stealing writing pieces — but this is the only way I can cope with being alone, without crying every night. Distracting myself from, well, the reality of my situation. Once there is a better reliance I can have rather than c.ai, I will maneuver to it, but for now this is easiest for both me and people around me. As for other people to get me into regression — baby talk. qwq also rp maybe? Never tried it before with others, but I want to try with my carer one day..maybe it may help. Also doing things together !! Colouring, playing games, all the while in a context of “being looked after” !! If that makes sense >_>

Gaz deserves so much more love than what he gets.
He’s such an important part of 141!! He’s needed. And I get that we all have our favorites, but people are blatantly ignoring him and it makes me so sad. Gaz is genuinely such a fun character! There’s so much to him, if people only paid more attention. It sucks that he’s been treated as expendable.
Oh, 100%, and I'm glad you agree! Ironically, even the writers for COD just do a kind of shitty job of including him more, even when he's the character we're playing as the most (at least from my memory, I'm not gonna meticulously calculate that). Also, arguably Gaz is the character whose moral compass I feel like is most relatable. We see him actively questioning some of the morally grey decisions that people are making around him, even if he later comes to understand why people must make those decisions. He's really someone we can empathize with as an audience, and someone who really provokes us (and other characters) to think a little more critically in justifying certain decisions/actions in the game.
I'm glad there's a fair portion of both gifmakers and some fanfic writers working on including Gaz and trying to explore his character more. I've been in a lot of fandoms over the years, and it's always, always common for characters of color to be cast aside by fans, even if they're the main protagonist. This is also the case with female characters. Without sounding too crass, characters who are white men are often the ones who get the bulk of fans' attention. And often times that type of fan behavior only encourages production companies and writers to further ignore actors of color and stories/voices from POC.
There are a lot of weird people in this fandom (lol), but I'm glad you and a couple of my other mutuals seem to see things clearly! 🤍

Yeeee!!! I haven't written for a while, there's been a death in my family. (I'm okay, it wasn't immediate family, but there's a lot of people who don't speak to my dad and I'm his only point of contact so things have been busy. And in all fairness, my dad made his own bed. I'm his PoC because someone needs to be.)
So I'll put a little more on here because 1) my last line deserves a little more context, lol and 2) posting will inspire me to finish.
When she looked up from her wandering feet, she found she'd plodded her way past a cold and empty hearth, one that used to bake its warmth into a heavy wooden table set with flagons of mead and ale, and bread and cheese, and a quill with ink and reams of parchment paper. It was a place where stories were told, where fires of friendship stoked camaraderie, now vacant aside from cobwebs and ash. And through the darkness beyond it was the rotunda, lying in wait like a knife poised to strike. Its walls were covered in images of the same story, her story, like a disguise, like a cleverly crafted deception, but its last panel was unfinished. Nothing more than a faint outline. An uncommitted possibility. A freedom to change the outcome. A silent plea for help. He did not want to do this. But Pride could not allow him to stop. And he could only be what he was. But he was not an answer to her prayers. She was the answer to his. She was the answer for so many. Which only left her back where she started. So she turned around once more.
I don't know if I have many moots who've been writing in any Bioware fandoms, but it is so important to keep writing regardless so I'm gonna tag folks that I know have been writing at some point in my own fanfic journey, if that's okay.
And if you haven't written in a while, that's okay too! I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and you have made an impact on my life somewhere along the line, even if we don't know each other personally. Sometimes it's just nice to be tagged <3
@morby @lanafofana @orangekittyenergy @waterdeep-weavemoss @waterdeepwhiskey @thedissonantverses @dr-demi-bee
(10min from now I'll think of about 19 other people I should've added here but I have to jump off)
Last Line Written!
Thanks @pavuslavellan, @biowaredisasterbisexual, @mageofquandrix, @fangbangerghoul for the tags!
Earlier I was like oh =( I didn't write that much this week bc I've been so busy idk if I have anything =(
But then I realized I wrote that miserable angsty part of Leth's fic bc that's my fave stuff to write 😈
Viago makes an involuntary, wounded sound.
That is an astonishingly succinct sentence, for me lmao
hmmm unsure who has been tagged, so forgive me if you've already played! @dymme @uchidachi @covertleathers @vespaer77 @pixiedurango @bygonesigh

ughhh I hate when fanfics describe nips and other parts as “pink” or “red” too like I’m black asf.. it kills the vibes and I automatically stop reading since it’s obvious the work wasn’t made for people who are black/brown. I also hate when authors call their work “reader-inserts” and proceed to describe white features… like that’s not a reader-insert… that’s an original character at that point.. sorry for the long text
NO LITERALLY LIKE JUST USE NEUTRAL TERMS ???
i’m black too and they be like he ran his fingers over your red painted face from the cold and then ran his fingers down your long silky hair…
there’s no long silky hair these 30 inch knotless braids will have your fingers itching let’s not.
in my fics I try not to even describe the looks of the reader besides personality, but the way all of these writers always subtly make their characters  belong to a certain group like not just white, but people with light skin, or with a certain type of hair it kills me. I remember a long time ago, i made a comment on this person’s post About how she described her character’s face as getting red and I made a joke about how as dark as I am I would definitely not be getting red and she was nice about it. She DM me and said that she googled it and it came up that black people do get red and asked me if there’s another term that she should use but it’s like I just said it’s fine because there’s no other term to use just don’t include things that make the reader have a certain skin tone. if you have to look it up and see if theres a possibility of someone with darker skin doing something then maybe just don’t include it like let’s be real we do not be turning red. maybe once in a fucking lifetime but be fr. I don’t wanna make my reader inserts more specific, but I feel like we deserve more “representation“ in this since were not included when everyone is supposed to be.  and then people get upset and say well they don’t know about certain things that other people might have like OK so just don’t include specific things.💀💀💀
It’s so dumb how even when people are writing about how someone loves you to the point where they’ve gone insane and do inhumane things to keep you, we’re still not included like they’re fucking psychopaths does it matter how the fucking reader looks??  like why does the person being kidnapped and forced to take cock have to turn red like that is the stupidest shit ever it makes me so fucking mad.
anyways if any of my poc readers want a place where we are subtly described even though it’s supposed to be ”neutral”, I will definitely write that. just be specific lmk what parts of your culture you want included or anything like that. 
side note: the only thing about my readers is that most of them are described to be able bodied, and i’ll now be including that in a part of my introduction.

here’s a poorly constructed headcanon/rant because my brain is very full rn
yk how there are various poc headcanons for james? like indian, hispanic, filipino, etc. (which i love by the way dont get me wrong!! i love how various groups can share their experiences through him it genuinely brings me joy)
what if i just.. make him jamaican in one of or several of my fics?? what happens then?? who’s to stop me?? like imagine indo-jamaican effie and afro-jamaican monty moving to england during the mass migratory period, settling into the wizarding community there then having james??
and james grows accustomed to wizarding society and england in general but his parents also make sure he still understands his roots
and i can imagine them speaking to him in patois at home and him teaching the boys bits and pieces of the dialect
and because i also head canon that mary is of jamaican decent as well (more so that she has extended family living there even though her parents were born in england), i think she’d let him help her stay in touch with her culture and they’d trade recipes too because jamaican food is god tier and everyone should try it (seriously)
one thing i’ve always been hesitant about is writing my dialect within fanfic. because like when it’s a standard language like french or english it just feels different ig like maybe people won’t be interested in jamaican creole as much because it’s not thought of as one of those romantic languages really it’s just broken english to many people and also it’s not really a language that’s formally written outside of jamaican literature or casual texting between jamaicans
but ykw i don’t think it should matter to me this much and i think i’ll write it regardless because my dialect deserves to be celebrated and also writing is supposed to be a form of expression, there’s no use worrying about what ppl will think about it really and i could def put end notes with translations and stuff
jesus this went from a headcanon to rant to me accepting that i’m allowed to write patois into my fics☠️

911 Fandom Meltdown and Racism **RANT**
As a member of the 911 fandom since day one, I would like to put my two cents in where fanfic writers are concerned.  It has come to my attention that there is a list going around of fanfic writers being “racists” around different servers and the fandom. It’s a list made by WHITE PEOPLE (WP), calling others racists; including People of Color(PoC). As someone who loves some of the authors on the list, I’d like to point out that most of the writing is not racist, but different characterization of a canon character and people are getting butt hurt. 
Just because you don’t like something, because you don’t like someone’s writing of a character, does not make them racist. All of this started when people were bashing Maddie and saying that she shouldn’t have done the things she did in the way of getting into Buck’s apartment and the way she left Buck. When those things didn’t get enough traction, they pulled in Chimney. 
Apparently we can’t talk about Chimney being a liar and being a bully before season 5 (because this disregards character development.. *Rolls eyes*), but I’m going to talk about it. Chimney wasn’t my favorite character in the beginning, I did like him, I wasn’t a huge fan of his lying to his girlfriend and the way he was verbally abusive to his team members. Not just Buck, and we’ll get to why I specified Buck in this. 
Chimney was abusive; he was verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive. When we skip to season 5 where Chim punches Buck, we see the physical part of it. It’s also brought to my attention that he was under emotional duress at the time. That’s not a reason, that’s an excuse. He was still the aggressor and he was still the one who threw the punch. Notice that Buck never hit back. 
Chimney used the fact that Buck kept it from him, that his daughter went to the hospital, that Maddie left, but Chim kept important things from Buck too. 
BUT! According to the WP that made the list, if we defend Buck, if people are held accountable for their own actions, we’re babying Buck. When we do that to PoC, it’s okay because they are PoC. I’m probably going to get put on the list after all of this too, but I couldn’t care less.
Eddie, who is also a PoC, has done some stupid shit and deserved to have the consequences of his own actions. He punched the handicap male, (Who was a douche bag, but I digress), and he went to jail for it. He had to be bailed out. 
Why didn’t Chim go to jail? or get charged? and honestly? as an Abuse survivor myself, I don’t see how Maddie could have forgiven Chim as easily as she did. Especially over the person that she was a mother to for most of his life. How she could let him near their child without him going to therapy. EVEN how Bobby could let him come back as easily and quickly as he did without him being cleared through therapy and anger management. As much as we talk about Buck being Bobby’s kid, he’s also his coworker, his responsibility, and when someone wouldn’t feel safe or feel like they can’t trust someone anymore.. that’s an issue, especially in their field of work. 
I would also like to point out that anyone who is writing stories where Chim is being held responsible for his actions, or any of the 118 being held responsible, I’m so proud of you for writing things that go against the flow of what everyone wants to be brainwashed into your head. I do apologize for the backlash you may get from any of this, but for what it’s worth, as a stranger on the internet, I’m proud of you.   
I personally don’t care if you’re white, black, green, red, yellow, or purple, if you fuck up and make a bad decision, you should be held responsible for your own actions.

"Oh waaaaaaa I spend money on commissions for a boring het couple that makes me better than you!"
No it means you're terrible with your money. Cry me a river you hack misgoynist.
Where do I begin. You consider interesting hetero couple to be one where "found family" does not exist, half-siblings are not allowed, the writers are lying, and somebody is forced to raise somebody else's baby and not get any respect or credit for it.
My favorite M/F couple involves a positive half-sibling relationship, an honorary uncle, a man and a woman whose relationship is built on trust, and NOT harry potter fanfic writers looking at an edgy rude black-haired man and thinking that he deserves the red-haired woman whose in a relationship with another dude.
Tumblr media
I think that speaks for itself?
but let's talk about misogyny.
Tumblr media
hey look! its half the RWDE Community right there! And the RWBY Critics too....how you people hold Team RWBY and Robyn HIll to double standards...you know, since unlike Cis White Men like Adam Taurus....Robyn Hill is a POC Woman.
Now then....let's talk about what the RWDE community demands for the show as their idea of "Fixing" the show.
Tumblr media
What did we miss? Besides you people wanting Ruby to suffer a crippling injury?
Robyn Hill is: Angry about the injustice her people suffered, willing to listen and act for the sake of her people, works with faunus and humans to achieve her goals, respected by her people, POC, a woman...
She is what adam taurus fangirls and fanbois wanted adam to be.
Tumblr media
Robynw's go further.
Yang and Blake repeatedly give Adam the opportunity to leave them alone, only murdering him because they have no choice. Adam fans get angry that Blake does not keep adam's sword...the sword he used to break her sword, the sword he used to cut yang's arm and hurt so many people...that Blake should somehow FIX Adam, or that for running away from the white fang, BLAKE is somehow a murderer and terrorist, not Adam...or that it was BLAKE'S Fault that adam is bad?
Meanwhile, people get so mad that, rather than killing or arresting Robyn Hill, Yang and Blake once again try to talk things out with Robyn, and Robyn listens....and even calls off her non-violent non-bloody raids on the dust that ironwood keeps stealing from mantle.
Robyn is called a terrorist for not obeying a dictator who runs mantle like a freaking police state from Judge Dredd.
Tumblr media
The sheer misogynistic double standards of Adam and Ironwood apologists are horrible...
Let's go further...WHY should Yang OWE Ironwood favors for the arm?
Politicians do donations here and there....somehow Robyn gets called a politician or a terrorist, but Ironwood is never called that? Robyn has the will of the people...Ironwood just has a military that he uses to control everyone through fear and obedience.
Tumblr media
Come to think of it, why are Blacksun fans demanding that blake OWE sun for stalking her and being persistent? How is that any different from people demanding that Weiss OWE jaune favors for saving her?
Tumblr media
Now that I think about it...maybe THAT'S why people are opposed to the women in RWBY?
Hmmm
Tumblr media
That does explain why people LOVE making fanfics with abused neglected male readers.
Hey, i got it! Let's use a quote from Hayao Miyazaki that practically the grand majority of shounen anime tends to ignore...and fanfics too!
Tumblr media
I think Couer Al'Aran forgets that.
He takes Jaune Arc: Who is 1. Supporting Character: And makes him the protagonist in practically all his fanfics. 2. Support type semblance: Makes him super strong and OP, tougher than many female character. 3. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, nor competent....suddenly more competent than the majority of the cast, and super smart IQ. 4. Loses most of his fights...suddenly wins most of his fights. 5. Never gets the girls? ...Suddenly always gets the girl. 6. Less accomplishments or screentime than most of the female cast....suddenly the female cast is Sakura or Orihime level of useless....which is how fanfic writers prefer their stuff.
So maybe...just maybe?
The misogynists? Are the RWDE Community.
Here, let me show one final example of RWBY Critics
Tumblr media
That's Misogyny right? or bigotry? You critics LOVE to see yourselves as "Underdogs"
but maybe....the Misogynists ARE YOU!
I mean...if Broken level or whomever that Ironwood x Weiss shipper is willing to draw an entire doujinshi of those two, maybe there's something wrong with RWBYCritics.

I low-key want to ask for your autograph girl! ACOHAS is my instant serotonin. You delivered everything you promised in the ao3 tags and then some.
From Tamlin's healing arc kicking off with two kids rather than a love interest, us PoC being treated with the respect we deserve, the ic put in their goddamn place, LoA finding the courage to leave Beron, the Illyrian women migrating, actual worldbuilding in the form of the oathtaking that happens between High Lords and their new subjects to Tamlin transporting the rain elsewhere, Sanara calling Rhysand "the mayor of Velaris"-
The sensitive way you deal with characters while not making them caricatures of traumatized people and making the chapter extremely entertaining as well.
My reading experience with this fic is basically me watching a movie in the theatre and whistling every 5 seconds and annoying the guy sitting next to me, but he won't tell me to stop because it really is THAT good.
OMG thank you anon! This is one of the best compliments I've ever gotten about my fanfic!
I simply got fed up with canon and while the fic was originally just for Tamlin's atonement and healing it eventually grew into me venting my anger at everything wrong with ACOTAR and calling out EVERYONE'S bullshit. It's been so cathartic to write, and I truly enjoyed adding extra worldbuilding on the way, especially with exploring the way High Lord magic works and binds them to their people and with Spirit Realm. Both of which are going to be very plot relevant soon.
Maybe it's because I personally don't find blonde white men that attractive lol but I was never really *into* Tamlin, so redemption fics with a love interest irked me, and I always felt like his crimes were swept under the rug too much with those. So it's different in ACOHAS. It was my first fanfic ever and my first piece of real writing, so I was worried that I wouldn't handle the character arcs well enough to truly do them justice or to treat everyone's trauma with the care it deserves, but I'm so glad you like it!
And I hope the ending is satisfying!
