renaissance in the 21st century
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!
online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.
and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.
there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.
i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.
This is Eman a Biotechnologist from Gaza. Asking for help is not easy. It's not easy at all. You have no idea how mentally and emotionally tiring this is. But when thinking that the price is my family's life, getting out of here safely and achieve my doctoral degree dream, it just pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal. I'm here as I try to reach out to more people asking for their help to support our family's campaign so we can survive while all you have to do is literally donating even by just the price of your morning coffee or maybe a simple breakfast, So I think I'm not asking for so much. We're really tired of living under these catastrophic conditions for a whole 10 months. Your generosity will not only change our lives but also remind us that even in our darkest hour, we are not alone. https://gofund.me/d597b8e2 Vetted By 90-ghost
