Do Something!

I know I should be working on the asks I received BUT something has come to my attention that is pissing me off. The way people make their books only available for specific race,specific height, specific hair texture and specific weight range.

I am a black girl but I am NOT dark. I am very light due to my mix and I’ve received barely any of my father’s complexion meaning I’m just slightly tan. So I, a person who has listened to black and brown authors and readers talk about the bs that’s produced by probably every NB author here, wil tell you how to be more inclusive.

BLUSHING! Black and brown women DONT get red for obvious reasons that we’re all aware of instead of saying things like :

“ a red/pink tint crept onto her face”

WHY’S THIS WRONG YOU MAY ASK?

Such words create imagery that the person has fair/light skin which is very unfair if you claim to make books for everyone.

Use alternatives like:

“Her face became very heated and a feeling of bashfulness took over emotions”

WHY IS THIS RIGHT?

It does NOT specify ones race or skin tone and instead gives emotion and doesn’t paint imagery of the characters looks which is very important when writing x readers.

HEIGHT! When writing you have to be mindful of girls of all heights because not very girl is like 4’11. Stop writing things like:

“He looked down into her e/c eyes-“ WRONG!

WHY?

You are specifiying that’s she’s short when the characters like 5’9 (I’m 5’2 they would have to look down so I have the privilege)

Instead write:

“He adjusted his gaze to look into her e/c eyes”

WHY IS THIS RIGHT?

I am not specifying wether he looked up,down or cross eyed to look at her am I?

HAIR TEXTURE! I have 4b/4c hair and other girls hair have curls or just textured hair where you cant run a hand through it. Stop writing things like:

“He ran his hands through her hair-‘’ UGH HAVE I TAUGHT YOU NOTHING?!

You’re being specific again! And especially when you in stuff like blonde or dirty brunette or whatever hair shades are called.

Write this instead:

“His hand ran over her nape petting her hair lightly as his hands trailed down to rest a hand on her waist”

IF DIFFERENT ACTION WHY RIGHT?

It doesn’t have anything in the line that will single the reader out because if you write books that are supposed to be for everybody (xreaders) doesn’t need to show any characteristics because you don’t know what the readers look like.

Also don’t always talk about washing hair in fics with showers. You can talk about having freshly washed hair but don’t talk about washing hair in showers.

WEIGHT! There has been a rise in x!chubby readers on this app and Wattpad BUT if you make xreaders and are not specifying wether its for black,chubby and tall readers and its just an xreader and you don’t specify don’t say things like:

“He picked her up with EASE and began to walk around” DICKHEAD-

Sugawara is not going to be picking up a 190lb girl with ease. (Iwaizumi maybe but that’s another convo for another time-)

Say if the character is strong say:

“He hoisted the girl onto his back and began his movements to ( destination)”

Or maybe they are able to pick up a heavy person but YOU NEVER KNOW!

Humans or people with average abilities (injured person perspective):

“He put an arm around his shoulder,wrapping his other arm around the girl’s waist to make it easier for her to lean for support”

If anything I said bothered you its not my fucking problem and you just need to reevaluate yourself- Matta fact just start putting x white! Skinny! Short! Long Haired! Straight Haired ! Reader the folks wont read your shit

If you [ b l a c k ] reblog this.

don’t care what shade just reblog.

“reblogs aren’t important you’re just whiny”

yeah because when you see this

tell me you don’t get annoyed.

tumblr’s algorithm only cares about posts that are reblogged, it doesn’t count likes. posts don’t get promoted or circulated when they only have likes (the way instagram functions), only reblogs matter for increasing reach on tumblr as a platform.

support content creators.

safe journey u__u

AUNT EM LIKED TO WAKE up fresh in the morning to make her famous eggs. Being a late riser, you always passed up on the eggs and went straight for the coffee maker. "Hmph, you'd rather drink that dull shit over my eggs, huh?"

You let out a giggle and took a sip of your mug. "Coffee over everything, Auntie. It eases my anxiety.”

Aunt Em chuckled, patting your shoulder. "And what are you anxious about?”

You shrugged. "I don't know, just being a new student and all."

"Well, that's normal! Besides, you're only the new kid for a few months. It'll be a cakewalk, and then you can move along to a good college.”

Your face lit up with optimism. "Really?”

"Really. Six months ain't never hurt anybody!" You giggled at her reply. She opened her arms in for a hug; you rolled your eyes and went in. "Also, cut it out with the cigarettes, please! I don't want that shit stinking up the house."

You nodded, giving her a small smile. "I'll try."

The car ride to school made you feel a bit on edge; Aunt Em silently hummed some gospel tunes as she drove through Miyagi. You stared down at your uniform skirt; thankfully, it didn't accentuate but conceal your curvy features.

Aunt Em’s car pulled into the school driveway, bringing your anxiety to its peak. “Try to make some friends, okay? Don’t make your last few months of high school boring.”

“Yeah.”

Aunt Em waved goodbye as you walked to the main office to grab your new schedule. The hallways were crowded, lots of people, lots of tall boys especially. You got a weird look from someone every now and then but paid no attention to it. 

“(Y/n)?”

“..What are you thinking about (Y/n)?”

You snapped out of your daze. “O--oh, just l--life.”

“Could you be more specific?”

"Finally, we have our two big gyms. The first one is used for guys and the second is for the girls."

You saw a glimpse of what it looked to be the boys' volleyball team practicing, even from your point of view they seemed pretty good. One boy caught your eye in particular, you didn't know much about volleyball but you were familiar with the positions, he was really good at spiking the ball.

The student tourist smiled, noting your lingering curiosity. "I see you found the boys' volleyball team."

You nodded at the student tourist with a smile. "Who's the one with the brown hair?"

She chuckled. "Ooh, that's Tooru Oikawa, setter and captain of the volleyball team. He's like an idol here or whatever, never really saw the hype but he's not so bad on the eyes.  Wanna go say hello?"

So that's his name. You felt your heart flutter, well maybe your stomach. Your eyes then widened, did anyone mention you were boy-shy? You quickly shook your head 'no'. "I--I think I have a good idea of how to navigate through the school. Thank you so much Aiko!"

"Uh yeah, sure. Come sit with my friends and I at lunch, it's not everyday we meet someone like you. You're so adorable!" 

You felt the heat rise inside of your cheeks. You flashed her a smile before rushing to your next class before the bell rang.
