oh another youtuber who makes frat boy comedy has been accused of assaulting women in some way? how absolutely shocking.

[luck-of-the-drawings]

OOH YEAH BABY ITS THE SURGERY EPISODE BABY!!! ME AND THE HOMIES NEED SOME NEW FACES FOR OUR NEW PLAN, AND WHO BETTER TO GET THE JOB DONE THAN THE TWO MOST EVIL PEOPLE WE'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING OUR LIVES VIOLATED BY? I MEAN IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IT WOULD BE FUNNY.

action items white people can consider to make fandom spaces more inclusive for bipoc:

rec/kudos/comment on fanworks made by poc

consider what roles characters of color take in your own work. do black and brown characters exist solely as emotional support for central white characters? are black and brown characters sidelined for white character arcs? do black and brown characters appear solely to Talk About Racism (aka be the Magical or moralizing force for a narrative)?

(consider: Not Doing That)

reflect on whose voices get centralized/prioritized in any given narrative

listen to poc who express discomfort/frustration/critique of the text or fanon without feeling the need to defend either (or recognize you don't need to insert yourself into some conversations)

conversations around racism in fan spaces almost always get derailed into debates about ships or The Literal Text, but in my experience some of the most alienating aspects of fandom are the subtle ways that white people signal us as "other," i.e. acting as though race and queerness are distinct categories (there are queer bipoc! we invented a lot of queer culture!), framing nonwhite characters as unrelatable or undesirable, and reproducing stereotypes in fanon narratives. these become exhausting to encounter, whether or not we're part of the larger fandom ecosystem, and because it's systemic, it becomes impossible to avoid. which means white people's escapism corner is another site that poc have to navigate very, very carefully.

lol on the second episode so far and once again I firmly believe the atla fandom is full of shit. this is not bad at all. are there changes I would make? absolutely. am I worried about the pacing? yes definitely. but I'm very much loving this so far.

tiny fandom rant

thinking abt how being an Intellectual Brown woman isolates me from fandom experiences bc since i call out orientalism/racism against swana and my people in media that makes me too "anti" but the shit id be into and ship since i was 13 would land me 100ft deep into "proship" territory....

made some self-indulgent character designs that may or may not become ocs based on my pale spirit au :3

[vampslxsher]

Sometimes I think about the fandomfication of Welcome Home and the fact that Clown having poc human designs already saved me from having to see white boy Wally Darling all over my dash.

hey siri how do I stop feeling gutwrenchingly anxious in the guilt way for using the treatment methods available to me to not be in constant misery

[the-acid-pear]

Something that always pissed me off about DSaF is how it acts like your physical exterior is a moral failing, which is echoed by the characters but only ever reinforced instead of subverted. Biggest L from the writing imo.

Bro why are you wearing a combination turtleneck sweater and dog collar. Freak. (/Lovingly)

[firelise]

i pray theres a part iii and its a rock album lord, she really walked into the studio one day and said "Oh, all these lil genres they not letting Black people win shit in even tho they INVENTED the genres?? These are MINE, I'm taking my shit back, thank you 💅🏾"

[postvampirism]

I love forcing Mexican culture on white people. They’ll be like oh I’ve never tried [mexican food or dish] and I will personally provide it somehow so they WILL try it
