Please.
Hiiii! I love your work :p But like why is the reader specified to be black? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of reader and y/n?????
Let explain my beautiful summer child
The reason why I made the black reader specifically black is that there should be more representation in fanfiction, especially X reader fanfiction or Y/N fanfiction. In many stories that I read, the reader is often portrayed as white or female, even when the author states that the reader doesn't have a race or doesn't have a specified gender. They automatically use she/her pronouns or describe the reader as having "pale white skin," even when the author has stated that the reader doesn't have a race or it's supposed to be "you" X reader. What if you don't have pale white skin? What if you're a black girl? For example, in another fic where they say, "he ran his fingers through her straight black hair," a black girl typically doesn't have straight black hair.
There are also many issues with the portrayal of blushing; black people don't blush, and if they are blushing, they're probably choking to death. It's not like I'm just making the reader specifically black; the black reader can be seen as Caribbean, Blasian, Nigerian, or your everyday New Yorker. The reader could be anybody—that's the whole point, right? Why do some authors describe the reader as female when the person reading it is male? Why do they get to talk about the reader's legs as if they're white when the reader could be of any other race? There are specific tags for specific readers. I include male and female reader tags, as well as non-binary reader tags, because there are people who read my work from different genders. That's why I use they/them pronouns in my writing. If I'm going to use she/her pronouns, then I make sure to indicate that in the reader's description at the bottom.
It's also really hard to find some black reader fanfiction that you can relate to or find characters you like who could be paired with a black reader. Black boys should be allowed to be represented in these works, and even if you're of a different race, you can still write about these readers—just don't be insensitive. I wanted to do this for the black community but also for myself. Maybe this will happen for you. It doesn't defeat the purpose; it just makes more people feel seen. You can be someone of another race and still enjoy my work—it's all about perspective. Plus, I'm getting real tired of reading fics where the creator writes, "the sun radiated off her pale skin," obviously referring to a dark-skinned girl, yet they still put X reader in the tag. Maybe I just walked myself into this.
Hope this helps!
random, but I think the way people talk about abusers as hypercompetent, calculating manipulators that Know exactly what they're doing makes it easier for people to get into abusive relationships
*insert ‘more, MORE!’ meme*
a small blurb for this idea, if yall like this i'll write the whole thing!!
this is platonic yan! dragon btw

Large eyes stare back at you. He found you, this was your end. If the bodies scattered around you wasn't enough, the blood that stained his claws and snout made your heart drop.
The castle was in ruins and everyone but you was gone, dead. Their blood painted the walls a deep red, but you were relatively unharmed save for the few scratches you had acquired from the fallen debris.
A whimper escapes you as he lowers his giant head near you, almost bumping into your body. He's curious. You hope it wasn't a fatal curiosity, wincing away as he nudges you. What else could you do other than sit there, a tiny human at the mercy of a murderous dragon.
He nudges you again. Your tears fall onto the ground as you shook your head, maybe this was him just taunting you before he finally kills you off like the rest of the people in the castle. A low growl makes you flinch, it shakes your insides with how deep it was.
He opens his jaws. You squeeze your eyes shut, preparing yourself for a painful and gory death. You feel yourself being...lifted above the ground? The beast had taken a small part of your shirt in his mouth, scruffing you like you were a kitten.
He was taking you with him. An eye for an eye, he had taken a human child in exchange for his dead nestlings.

So there's been a new technique that was developed from @rima shifting on tiktok and it's been getting really popular. If you wondering, " can we use shifting techniques to enter the void state? ", yes you can! Don't worry, you won't shift realities lol, but you can use them to affirm for the void state <3 . The original creator ( rima) has said after using this technique, she's shifted to multiple parallel realities on the first day using this.

♡ How does this technique work?
It's involves the Wim hof breathing technique and pink noise. It's very easy to do and you will get into the void state on your first try using this ♡. Wait, ik some of y'all think that wim hof breathing is very fast pace, but there's an alternative which is the beginners one and people still shifted using that. Wim hof breathing is the best when you're trying to relax and release all stress/ doubts because it makes your thought process slow down by releasing dmt NATURALLY. This technique works by putting your body and mind into a deep trance state, whereby after you can start affirming for the void state. And don't worry, if you fall asleep because this method also helps you to lucid dream. If you do so happen to fall asleep while attempting this method, you're might find yourself in a lucid dream, you can affirm for a portal or dream character to take you straight into the void state.
♡ Technique in full detail :
1. You attempt this technique before bed, morning or during the day. Whatever time suits you the best <3.
2. Go to YouTube and search " wim hof breathing " or " wim hof breathing for beginner's ".
3. Play the meditation and follow all the steps, it's guided for you ♡. It's completely ok to take breaks any part of the video.
4. After the meditation finishes play the pink nosie. You can make a YouTube playlist and add these 2 videos. So the pink noise will automatically play after the meditation finishes. Also loves, you don't have 2 add the pink nosie, you can add your fav subliminal or theta waves, etc.
5. Start affirming for the void state, you will reach the void really fast because you already in a trance like state.

Of course Jason was doing all of that shit to get Bruce's attention. He had to make sure he had the attention, since he had already been wiped off the face of the Earth, in both body and proper memory. A lot of fix-its fall into the "if Jason had just accepted the status quo things would be good and they could be a happy family" but that's not the point. The point is that the status quo leads to others getting hurt, just like Jason did. And if Jason's death was not enough to get Bruce's attention and to make things change, well. Someone has to make him pay attention, and what better way to do that, than to do things outside of the status quo?
the moment a writer starts hating on amber or using her as a “villain” in a mark x reader fanfic i drop the shit so fast. i’m so not interested in the villianizing this already poor disposable black girlfriend stereotype when there’s proof she fully supports eve and mark — so why wouldn’t she approve of reader and mark??
literally some of the fandom writes her off as the worst gf ever because of s1 as if she didn’t change & also made it known in their breakup that she knows she’s acting for “too much” from him and being selfish.
my girl deserves better 😞
