I didn’t want to make this post because I don’t wanna be perceived as someone who complains, but, last night something happened that got me so mad and I need to talk about it.
You need to have more respect to content creators, writers or artists, please, do not just ask for work like it is nothing, we know you’re excited, we know you say it in the best way possible, but believe me, it feels like we’re doing homework or something else if we don’t work on it because we want to. Before you ask for content from your favorite blogs, check their latest work, and the posts that they made, have they been active? Because we have things beside this blog, some of us have school, others have work and even some have both, yet, they make time to post something and to deliver content to you guys, which leads me to my next point.
I write because I love writing, I’ve been doing it since I was 12 and now I’m close to 21, I’ve also been reading fanfics since that time, and something that has been bothering me a lot is the lack of feedback people have at least here, working on a long piece of writing only to see it not even get 10 reblogs is painful, not getting a single comment is so demotivating, because, as much as I write for myself, posting and not hearing anything makes me think my work is not good, that I’m not doing it right. And I don’t get to have a space to complain because we are supposed to have this blog as just something for ourselves, not even gonna put on my anthropologist hat here just leavin that here bc i slightly disagree.
Then, when you ask for so much content and all we get is a like, it hurts, and it makes us think about just quitting for at least some time, what is the point of formatting, editing, changing details and more just to get two likes in one post when we have over 300 followers and not even get a single comment?
Have some respect for your content creators and I’m gonna repeat this again, REBLOG, REBLOG, REBLOG. Feedback is crucial when it comes to your favorite content creators staying, and please don’t complain about “well my blog loses aesthetic” because then we see that you just care about consuming our content and not even enough to get to be seen by others.
Thanks.

"O--ONE PUMPKIN SPICE latte, p--please.” You felt your hands shake, you had a lecture in a few minutes and you were close to being late. The barista nodded, going off to the side to prepare your drink. You looked around the café, it was cozy and warm. You made a mind note to frequent here in the future.
The barista then handed you the drink, you giving her the right amount cash in return. You took a sip of it, taking in the bitter sweetness.
“(Y/n), how could you possibly drink this evil thing and not get sick?!”
You were walking with Aiko to lunch. You giggled, shrugging your shoulders. “I don’t know, I usually take it black but every once in a while I change it up.”
Aiko rolled her eyes at your playfulness. You were so busy paying attention to her that you didn’t realize that you bumped into a toned chest. Splash! Your sweet coffee spilt all over his shirt. Your eyes widened in realization, quickly grabbing some napkins from your backpack. You felt heat rush to your cheeks. “O--oh my gosh, I am so sorry--”
“It’s fine,” he grunted. You looked up at him for a second, he was tall and seemed to be one of those ‘no bullshit’ kind of guys. There was a noticeable red tint on his cheeks but his expression told a much different story.
You heard a laugh from behind him. It was that boy you asked Aiko about yesterday. “Uh oh, looks like Iwa-chan got coffee all over his uniform.”
“Shut up Shittykawa.”
Aiko grabbed your arm, giving you a ‘lets get out of here’ look and you anxiously nodded. The two boys watched you leave with curiosity, both of them were equally intrigued by you. "What the hell was that, (Y/n)?"
You frowned in embarrassment. "I--I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Well be careful next time, or you'll bump into one of those bastards again. They’re bad news.”
You chuckled, locking arms with her as the two of you continued to stroll through the hallway. “Oh come on Aiko, I think that Oikawa guy seems nice-ish. Do you have some sort of vendetta against the volleyball team?”
“Something like that,” The red-haired girl muttered. Your eyebrows raised, deciding to not tap into her conflict with them.
“Who was the cutie?” Oikawa asked as he and a few other guys changed into their jerseys.
Iwaizumi pulled off his stained shirt and placed it in his duffle bag. He instantly knew who what his friend was referring to. “Some third year transfer. Judging by her slightly mediocre Japanese, she’s American.”
“Ah, she's definitely not like everyone else around here." Oikawa smirked at his the light-green eyed boy. "You know Iwa-chan? Something tells me we'll be seeing her a lot more often."
“Mhm.”
And with that, they headed off to the gym for practice.
You took a drag out of your cigarette. The lecture was quite succinct, only lasting about 30 minutes. Most lessons were straight-forward and to-the-point, which was one of the several perks that came with your college experience.
Sometimes you wondered how you managed to push through after what had happened. It seemed like a never-ending hell, maybe that's why the admission team felt bad for you when you wrote that heartfelt essay. Your phone vibrated, indicating someone was trying to call you. It was your aunt. You sighed, swiping left to hear what she had to say. "..H--hello?"
"(Y/n)? Hi sweetheart, how are you doing?"
"F--fine Auntie, I just c--came from a lecture."
"I see. You know your friend Aiko stopped by yesterday to see if you were still here. Poor thing misses you like hell."
You once again sighed. A part of you did miss your old friends from high school, but sometimes you've got to leave the past in the past. Hell, you moved out of Miyagi for a god-damned reason. Thinking of the past made you want to take another hit of your cigarette. So you did, savoring the ethereal feeling of nicotine entering your lungs.
"..(Y/n)?"
No answer, she instantly knew why. Aunt Em was now becoming irritated with you. "(Y/n), are you smoking again?"
You groaned, hanging up the phone on her. It's not like you were trying to be rude or anything. You hated when she tried to intrude on your bad habits, like a child. And you weren't a fucking child anymore.
You tossed the cigarette, pressing it into the ground. You looked at the time and internally cussed. It was almost 4:30. You had some stupid study session with one of your classmates, he was pretty nice but seemed to be reserved and a no-bullshit kind of guy as well.
You walked to the library, which was like a common-place for the students to hang out it. You spotted him, you were only like 5 or six minutes late. But making an effort to be punctual would establish a better relationship between the two of you.
Your classmate had this studious dark academia-like nature to him, which you found to be pretty hot. It was also his familiarity, he reminded you of someone from the past. You also liked how he was patient with you, given your speech impediment and all. It was pretty rare especially since you hadn’t always been like that.
“(L/n), you’re late.” His non-chalant voice bringing a few shivers down your spine. Obviously, you had gotten over your boy-shyness but you sometimes felt like a part of it was still there.
You quickly bowed your head and played it off with a giggle. “S--sorry Akaashi, I ran into a few things on the way here. It won’t happen again.” He nod
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” His gunmetal blue eyes boring into your (e/c) ones. He gestured for you to sit next to him to which you immediately followed. Both of you had aspirations within the world of humanities, especially you, who was looking to write a book someday. “So what have you worked on so far?”
You pulled up a word document on your laptop of some drafting ideas for a possible story. Your professor is has assigned each student to write a memoir of the past. “I--I decided to write about the more positive moments of my past, y’know?”
Akaashi just stared, once again showing no emotion. You hadn’t opened up to him at all really. But you knew he somehow suspected, with your aloof and timid nature, that something happened to you.
“Honestly,” he said making eye-contact with the window behind you.
“H--hm?” You internally panicked. Oh no, is my idea too dull-
He then smiled, making your eyes widen. “Honestly I think it’s a great idea, (L/n).”
quick shout out to ryan murphy and his wack ass writers
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
This is the last straw
Catch me going to look for the POC smaus ong bruh
not the white pfp and the ‘headass’-
i wish the innocent black lives that were lost to police brutality were as defended as random white youtubers who wanna cry because they got called out for being racist and generally out of pocket
This list will change as more people are added! And please let me know if you see any mistake or if you are the writer and need a name change! And please respect the creators by reading their rules and DNIs when you follow them!
