Random Prompt #13
The vintage radio in the hallway cut on, static buzzing from the speakers. If you listen closely, you can almost make out a voice.

@sapphosigns asked:
Greetings =) I was wondering if any Black mods and followers would be up to sharing your thoughts/feelings on portrayals of Black characters sexuality- given that a lot of portrayals hypersexualise or fetishize. What would you want to see/feel is more balanced given the way black people are treated in media at large? (thank you for doing what you do with this blog)
Here is my opinion on things that should be more represented in relationships involving Black characters, concerning their sexuality:
Black gay men or women
Bisexual characters
Aromantic or asexual characters too
Even though we tend to be more closeted depending on how theses identities are viewed in our communities (generally for religious motives), Black people arenât âmore straightâ than White people for example.
Relationship not rooted in trauma or violence.
Going with that, more tenderness and romanticism too, with the funny-awkward moments that go with it.
Weird love declarations, embarrassing but lovingly awkward sexual situations.
I also want to add that it extends to family dynamics.
Black characters having a present partner for their children or having both their parents together (to be careful with the Absent Black Father trope).
More relationships involving two Black characters!! Lots of relationships involving a Black character involve a White lover. While this is okay, Black love could be a bit more depicted outside the romance genre (Iâm thinking fantasy and science-fiction, or Young Adult).
These relationships can be harder to find in literature, due to the prevalence of the White lover.
Thereâs an amazing french graphic novel titled Amours croisĂŠes by Laura Nsafou and CamĂŠlia Blandeau which depicts Yari, a Black girl living in Paris, falling in love with Hide, who has East-Asian origins and mostly⌠is polyamourous. The graphic novel is about discovering different ways to love, including inside your own relationship. The drawing style and the plot are really soft. Thatâs an example of what can be done to depict our relationships in a caring way.

Black followers, please add the BIPOC queer representation you want to see!
"Can you stop putting everything on the top shelves?!"
"It's not my fault you're vertically challenged." "What did you just say?"
"You do realise I'm in the best position to punch you in the guts, right?"
"You're like a kitten, small and cute." "Say that again and I'll kill you."
"You're the only one who can fit in there."
"Hey, skyscraper, you're blocking my sun."
"I'll kick your shins if you don't immediately lean down."
"I'm not sleeping in your bed, it hurts when my legs dangle over the edge, you know?"
"Why don't you like my hugs?" "Because you always almost suffocate me! Stop squishing me like a plushie and then we can talk."
I have finally found the inspiration to write my first book with this prompt! My horror-romance novel is turning out to be quite thrilling. I've just finished chapter five and can hardly believe how far Iâve come. Iâm excited to see where my characters will lead me next, and I canât wait for the surprises that await!
Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."
HAPPY BI-VISIBILITY DAY, EVERYONE! (Sept. 23) đđâ¤ď¸
