what is your opinion on white writers having their black characters say the n-word? i've seen it in a few different things and it's never really something i've heard anyone's opinion on before, so if you wanted to share how you felt about it i would be very curious! lots of love to you hope you enjoy your break ❤️

The way this made my heart jump out my chest when I read it at work 🤣🤣 had to finish my day and go home.

I don't think it's necessary. I'd be incredibly uncomfortable at best, heavily insulted at worst, especially if it looks like the author sprinkled it in just for the fun of using it and going "but they're Black!"

If it's a professional writer/screenwriter, who I can trust has done their research and worked with Black people on how it would be used in context, maaaaybe. I just say that because it's plenty of shows where that word will be used and it's not Black people alone behind the writing. I MIGHT be able to trust that there was more thought behind it. It could be okay, it could be terrible.

If it were somebody's fic or original first story or poetry or roleplay or something, absolutely tf not lmao. Nooo. What is it supposed to be adding to the story? "Authenticity"? There's no need lmao. There are plenty of things we say to each other that don't require it. It's not required! As with most words in AAVE (as an example) the use of the n word is tonal. It could mean something completely different from another time I said it, based on how I said it. If White people struggle to pick up the basic grammar rules of AAVE, I CERTAINLY don't trust them to do this. Sorry. I would not be okay with it at all. Can't stop you, but I'm not reading it. That shit would get turned off or put down in a heartbeat.

Even within the Black community there are some people who Do Not say that word (it's a part of the whole "reclaiming slur" argument that often gets used out of context in nonblack spaces, but that's otros veinte pesos).

Just... Don't. You have other options. You don't have to do this.

arctic monkeys are a boring ass rock band what do you MEAN they dont have beef with anyone. except for that one weird thing with thom yorke in which matt eventually apologized and said it was a misunderstanding. they deserved their own little band rivalry. as a british indie band. have they forgotten their 90s britpop rivalry heritage

Rain always meant something to me

When i was really small i learned about the water cycle

It comes down, pools around, stirs up again and back around

Rain and lakes and falls and oceans and clouds.

When i was still small i learned about weather

Taller clouds fall in crowds and thunder makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up

When i was a teen came the droughts

The world is ending and i wont make it out

I will feel no more rain and the times it did fell on numb pain

When i grew up i was hopeless listless and grieving

The world ending tirelessly endlessly around me

Until i learned again when i thought i was done

The world isnt ending, she's still turning. She's still raining

Just with hotter fires and crying out

"What am i doing?" I wake and shout "it will matter to that sea star" i remembered

A beach of drying animals and distress, hopeless to save most let alone the rest

But the story goes that a little kid throws

Back to the sea, another day.

To that one sea star it mattered when it mattered most

Just because that little kid decided to say.

So when i grow up, i want to learn about the rain some day.

adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and "magic" really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt "real" and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.
