☕️ the conventional attractiveness of different barry snotter characters cause obviously we know s is hot but people have varying opinions on the hotness of other characters. like was regulus also hot or was s the exception in his family. what about j and idk any other characters who you see interpreted as hot/not hot and whether or not u agree with the interpretations x

oh i always have a lot to say about this xx firstly reg was NOT HOT. canonically he was less handsome than s. like you know when you see twins or siblings and they seem to have similar features and obviously bear a strong resemblance to each other and yet one is clearly more typically 'attractive' in quite an obvious way. i think it does not make sense to his character for reg to be hot for any reason apart from people who want to babygirlify him (technically none of the blacks should be hot after centuries of inbreeding but well. we have proof to the contrary for s the rest of them dont get off so easily). r also? NOT HOT. he is not hot-coded nothing about him was hot unless youre s. he does not make SENSE as a hot character. and frankly people who think hes hot well to me that is a major warning sign that you Do Not Get him. again i think attempts to claim he was hot is just the result of people needing all their favs to be conventionally attractive because the worst crime a fictional character can commit is so-called ugliness. as for j!! i think he was hot-ish, but not super hot. he was a decent looking guy but nothing special. i think whatever he had going on for him was enhanced by an outgoing charming personality n that sort of cheeky chappy character. and also probably the athletes physique he develops as a result of his extracurricular activities lol. those are the only barry snotter characters i know though so as far as im concerned thats that sorted xx

send me a topic + ☕️ emoji and i’ll tell my honest opinion about it!

Hey so I made a mistake on that post talking about the doctor that spoke in front of the Nebraska legislature saying that autistic people shouldn't be allowed to transition. There was a doctor who did that but it wasn't the doctor I linked to. That's actually a doctor who spoke in opposition to a bill that would outlaw trans affirming care for minors. I'm going to tag everyone in this post who reblogged the version of the post with the link who I wasn't able to DM (since Tumblr probably thought I was spamming people after saying the same thing to several people) and ask them to delete their reblog.

for the trope ask thing: sirius being in love with james first, before remus :)

personally i adore it! it's mean to remus but i just enjoy reading about him feeling second best/feeling like sirius would always choose james over him, sorry remus haha

Ok, I am the worst and I apologize for the late reply... I was so busy with work and life that I actually forgot to reply to all the asks 😅 but here I am and thank you for asking about my favourite thing which is making R suffer exploring complicated dynamics. Ok, so. A+++ perfect will 100% read it. Once montparnasse wrote that R absolutely knew that S loved J more than him - and from that moment I started to like the idea of S being in love (mostly unrequited but that's even worse for R imho) with J. I even wrote 3 fics about it - not my usual headcanon but I love it because it makes RS even messier, and I like reading about messy relationships. A rec: Maybe Later (still wip) by lurikko.

Questions 29 and 10 for the nanowrimo asks! (this is copkillerlupin's main btw)

Omg hello!

10. What is the main character’s biggest false belief about the world?

I am going to be deliberately vague with this one, but it's that he believes something his family built has one function, while it actually has another...

29. Say something nice about yourself as a writer.  What do you do well?

asldkfjalkdfj I cannot do this one, I have nothing nice to say about myself as a writer. I do not know why any of you read my stories 😂 I guess sometimes I'm able to successfully make readers sad? That's all I've got going for me, really.

Can a Chinese-American man author write a Chinese-American female character well?

Anonymous asked:

I have a Chinese-American female character (based on experiences of my own) that I have worked on for some time, and have thought about using as the main character of stories I am working on. Lately, though, I wonder if I can actually write that well, as someone who is Chinese-American but male, considering that Chinese-American females would face not only systemic racism but also misogyny. And my story, though a slice-of-life, is one that will talk about social and political issues.

Yes, Chinese-American men can write Chinese-American women and girls well.

-Mod Em

I agree with Emme. Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean you cannot write about Chinese women or girls, so long as you keep in mind the intersections they lie in as well as the stereotypes they face in our Chinese women tag. Some prevalent stereotypes for Chinese women and girls include the Dragon Lady, the Submissive Asian (which disproportionately affects Chinese women and girls), and the Tiger Mom.

- Mod Sci

Commentary 

@polarisedray:

I don't think that being a man means you have no connection to the misogyny that Chinese women face. As a Chinese man you still know that it is your sisters, mothers, friends, etc being targeted and you are still conscious of the exoticisation and fetishisation of your ethnicity. The racialised nature of the misogyny that Chinese women face means that it is not entirely separate from Chinese men either.

Hello, friends. We have gotten many Support tickets and asks here on WIP about the “Based on your likes” recommendations so we wanted to let everyone know:

You can disable these recommendations using the “Include stuff in your orbit” toggle in your dashboard settings on web or the “Include recommended posts” toggle in your dashboard preferences in the app.

[images are described in alt text]

*We’ll also be updating the name of the “Include stuff in your orbit” setting in the near future.

Some background:

First, for those who haven’t seen these “Based on your likes” recommendations, here’s what they look like:

We’re currently conducting a test with this recommendation reason so if you’re not seeing them, you’re probably not part of the test.

But… why?

We want to show you posts and blogs that we think you’ll enjoy. The “Based on your likes” recommendation reason in particular uses posts you’ve liked in the last 24 hours and then shows you posts that are similar to those.

That said, we are also making an effort to be transparent about our use of algorithms. We want you to know when and why you’re seeing algorithmic content. Thanks to the feedback we’ve seen about this and other tests (and the “Best stuff first” toggle), we’re also making sure you’ll have the ability to opt out of algorithmic feeds and recommendations.

Also, giving these recommendations a name like “Based on your likes” has made it really easy for anyone on the team to find feedback (yes, we see your posts) 😁

Again, thanks to everyone who has sent us feedback about these recommendations. We’ll keep you updated over on the Changes blog as we continue working on this.

love ur pride au idea! reminds me of Recto Verso which idk if you've read but it's my fav r/s au of all time of r&s meeting and falling in love during the 1984–5 miners' strike (not in wales though, this is set in yorkshire) which i would 100% recommend. and i agree remus has big miner's son energy lol i also made him the son of a yorkshire miner in one my fics. the last colliery in remus's hometown closed when he was a kid in my fic so being a miner was never a possibility for him but if the mine was still open when remus became of Mining Age i imagine it could be a cool parallel of canon lycanthropy if lyall wants remus to become a miner too but remus can't because of a disability or something else transposed onto him in place of lycanthropy. lots of possibilities for remus to feel bad about not living up to his dad's expectations of him etc...

i love the idea of remus meeting a travelling activist sirius too cause sirius is such a clash of working class punk aesthetics and a posh RP accent & mannerisms... remus meets him and isn't sure what to make of him, is naturally a bit wary of sirius bc he seems like one of those rich kid punks, and sirius is trying so hard to throw off his upbringing but he will always speak like the queen and he's always going to use a knife and fork in such a posh dainty manner that only someone who was raised to eat meals with 4 forks could do... love that for them x

ahh thank you bab!! im not familiar with recto verso but ill have to check it out omg it sounds right up my street xx also super agree with your points about remus as a miners son!! thats exactly where i sort of thought to go with it...remus is not built to be a miner himself anyway and in a non magic au i definitely think some sort of disability that serves to act a parallel to his lycanthropy would become particuarly pertinent in shaping him within the context of him coming from a mining village background + especially his father/family members being miners...and sirius!! i think a pride au is such a good excuse to sort of explore their clashing backgrounds + characters and like as you say. sirius is such a strange combination of different social influences i think poor remus would be quite bewildered by everything that he is...and when they go up to wales and inevitably his poshness sort of. slips out at times i think the potential there is. delicious xx like he is here to lend to support to the miners' strike and yet he Talks Like That and carries himself Like That...ooo lyall would be so unimpressed xx my god xx

@polarisedray FOUND THE BASTARD

My dog ran away :(

[aryastark-valarmorghulis]

i wish you would write a poa-era fic! i feel like you'd be able to pull off remus's pov of poa really well. just being depressed, trying to forget that his crazed mass-murderer ex is on the run, trying to help james's son while feeling guilty for not keeping in touch, etc. it's such a fun time for remus lol that poor guy

rae adgygebygeyrtdyghfiuerbvh (authentic keysmash) I would obviously love to write all this - as you know, I like fun times for Remus lol. And thank you for the faith in me ❤️ I'd write R drinking in his office and remembering the good old days where S & J were cool arseholes and conveniently ignoring the whole Animagus thing guilt more guilt then cool professor then poor little meow meow etc etc

bamboo for the asks x

HI YOU!!

bamboo ⇢ do you change into a different outfit when you get home?

ABSOLUTELY i do. first and foremost i am a cozy guy as SOON as im home i am getting into what i refer to as my. comfies. which is just pyjama bottoms and any variation of hoodie or t shirt or fleece or something. also if i wearing makeup i have to take it off as soon as i get in there is just something about getting home where suddenly i can. feel it on my face and its gotta come off before i can be truly comfy. its a lifestyle really

asks!

[steelycunt]

squeeze for the word ask thing :)

squeeze!! okay well the most prolific use of squeeze comes as a reference to. new wave british rock band squeeze. but thats quite boring so this is what i can offer instead:

There’s rather a lot of hair falling around him, now. Remus rests his arms on his knees, clasps his hands together and squeezes.

(send me a word, and if it's in the first tsah draft doc i'll give you the line it comes from!!)
