It’s funny how anglophone names like Jake and Sarah are accepted as very common, therefore no one questions it when more than one person in a room is named Jake or Sarah.
But when it comes to ethic, Arabic names, there’s somehow only one person who’s allowed to introduce themselves as something like Yousef. It can’t be that certain names in different regions of the world are popular, and therefore you’ll be seeing a lot of them, no, they’re OBVIOUSLY scammers and want the money you were gonna blow on Tumblr badges and Ao3.

Monday Monologue
Choose one of your characters and have them tell a story in their own words. Try to get inside your character’s head and write in first person point of view. For an added challenge, pick a character whose perspective you don’t normally write from.
* Your story does not have to be a monologue. You can include other characters and as much or as little dialogue as you like.
This week’s prompt is: I did it by myself.

I gotta be real, we can't keep saying "wow how is the website so racist that's sad" and keep not changing our behaviors to actively address that 😅 we can't all be shocked, appalled, and "not racist", yet the overall environment is the way it is. Our actions are not reflecting our (supposed) beliefs!
This is why I'm always telling y'all to gauge just how often and much antiblackness you're willing to tolerate. Because every time you don't speak up or act; every time you choose to bypass the opportunity to LEARN how to spot what is wrong-
Every time you see a piece of art or creation that leans into, has covert, or even overt antiblackness and you let it slide because "it's just for fun"-
Every time you aren't willing to tell your friends or peers "hey, that wasn't cool" when they say or share something you know is questionable, but you don't want to make the space "uncomfortable"-
Every time you choose not to support a Black creator or person speaking up on mistreatment (without further research) because "you're not racist but you don't like drama and they sound aggressive"-
Everybody bypassing the issue adds up. No, you don't have to fight every battle against racism, but a majority of you aren't trying to fight any (for reasons you should reflect upon!) So what's stopping racism from propagating? "Why are there weeds taking over my garden?" "Did you pick them?" "No I'm just saying I'm angry about them!" 😐
And when you aren't willing to vocally kick Nazis out the bar, what type of bar do you end up with? 👀

Hey! All of your drawings do not need to be completely unique from one another. Do you know how many versions and replicas of his Sunflowers Van Gogh actually did? Just draw that naked guy ten times. Reuse that colour palette. Do that pose again. Follow your heart for real, no one can care as much as you do.

there should be more romance repulsed characters. there should be more aro characters in general but i deserve characters who would rather throw themselves off a skyscraper than be in a romantic relationship

“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do
Make her shorter if you must
Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward

Female Power Romantasy novels can be indulgent as they like with giving the MC all the powers and hottest love interests and overcomplicated backstories, and I will cheer that on. Yes, there is a place for this! I see your vision, girl!
But the moment it starts talking about blood purity, her divine right to rule, and how ubermensch her babies will be with the man with the equally super special bloodline? You're doing girlboss eugenics at that point.

not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social
ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made

Some tips for using a few words to describe voices:
1. Tone Words: Use tone words to convey the emotional quality of a voice. For example, you can describe a voice as "melodic," "soothing," "sharp," "gentle," or "commanding" to give readers a sense of the tone.
2. Pitch and Range: Mention the pitch and range of the voice. Is it "deep," "high-pitched," "raspy," or "full-bodied"? This can provide insight into the character's age, gender, or emotional state.
3. Accent and Diction: Describe the character's accent or diction briefly to give a sense of their background or cultural influences. For instance, "British-accented," "Southern drawl," or "formal."
4. Volume: Mention the volume of the voice, whether it's "whispering," "booming," "murmuring," or "hushed."
5. Quality: Use terms like "velvet," "silken," "gravelly," "honeyed," or "crisp" to convey the texture or quality of the voice.
6. Rate of Speech: Describe how fast or slow the character speaks, using words like "rapid," "slurred," "measured," or "rambling."
7. Mood or Emotion: Indicate the mood or emotion carried by the voice. For example, a "quivering" voice may convey fear or anxiety, while a "warm" voice may express comfort and reassurance.
8. Resonance: Describe the resonance of the voice, such as "echoing," "nasal," "booming," or "tinny."
9. Timbre: Mention the timbre of the voice, using words like "rich," "thin," "clear," or "smoky."
10. Cadence: Highlight the rhythm or cadence of speech with descriptors like "staccato," "lilting," "rhythmic," or "halting."
11. Intonation: Convey the character's intonation by saying their voice is "sarcastic," "apologetic," "confident," or "questioning."
12. Vocal Characteristics: If applicable, mention unique vocal characteristics, like a "lisp," "stutter," "drawl," or "accented 'r'."

why have us queer people as a community normalized terms like "boygirl" or "girlboy" or other things like that but not like. the actual experience of being multigender. i swear some people will be like "ahaha its so cool and swag to be a #girlboy #boygirl" then turn around and be like "MEN DNI THIS POST IS ABOUT WOMEN" "MEN CANT BE LESBIANS (because no man is ever a woman too)" etc etc like come on guys
EDIT: i added an entire rant about this here
