If you eat a vampire is it cannibalism?
They are basically undead humans with super powers.
Is the inverse the same?
i still believe that i can hear the ocean when i put a seashell to my ear. i still believe that the moon is following me when i'm in the car. i still believe there are fairies living in the garden. i still believe in those fabled creatures from my old storybooks. i still believe in true love. i will carry the magic of my childhood with me forever and it will keep me gentle.

Victor Frankenstein and Henry Clerval with their hair down, to show off those beautiful long 18th century locks! ♥
(Also this is pretty much how I imagined their height difference too)
Henry Clerval is part Hobbit. You can't change my mind.
im never going to recover from this am i…?
wait a fucking second are you telling me that grover got both percy and nico into mythomagic so that they'd be familiar with the gods and heroes and monsters they'd be hearing about for the rest of their lives???? is mythomagic a standard part of satyr protection protocol??????
i feel like i’m going insane. like im literally losing my mind. or maybe everyone else is fucking crazy and i’m the only sane one. like actually. what the fuck is happening
Years ago, my friend had a ganglion cyst, right on her wrist.
Fluid build-up. Best to let it rest.
Don’t aggravate the joint.
It’ll go away on its own.
.
Some days, I think memory is a bit like that.
A build-up in oft-agitated joints,
The nerve bundle harmed by relentless back-and-forth that has become
habit,
Become routine.
It goes away on its own, quiet as a last breath stealing out of a lung.
Fades as time wears on.
.
Other times, it’s more like a broken bone, never healed right.
You remember the crack, the pain, the wrong-ness
of the displaced shards of calcium.
You remember the painstaking, irritating, frustrating process
of healing and relearning simple tasks.
.
On rainy days, the bone twinges.
On rainy days, you are right back to the break.
.

If i had a nickle for a show or movie that i see where most of the kids that we see are either troublesome criminals or hoods. Kids that come from bad (neglectful, abusive, manipulative) parents a struggling with the situation that they are in. All of them mostly have no education with little to no money to spare. And the whole plot is mostly centered around leaving the town they grew up in, and living somewhere better. Meanwhile another group of people grew up rich and happy, constantly shoves it in other peoples faces.
I'm writing an article
I'll be writing a piece for Thaen X that discusses safe spaces, or rather the lack thereof, concerning sex and sexuality in South Asian families and the consequences of this. You are under no obligation to answer any questions you don't wish to; if you do, please provide as much detail as possible. Any responses received will be kept entirely confidentially, of course.

for fanfic writers and readers
as a black girl who loves a lot of different movies and shows, fanfic allows me to read stories that put me in the middle of my favorite things. however, fanfic often (unintentionally) excludes girls who look like me.
i am so sick and tired of reading a fanfiction and having to rewrite it in my brain because a character description immediately implies that the reader is white. if you don't know what i mean, here are some examples.
"your skin turned pink" or "you blushed": black girls and women with darker skin tones CANNOT blush. our skin does not just turn pink
"pulled your hair into a messy bun": my 4a hair cannot be pulled into a messy bun at random. i may be able to do a ponytail if i have braids in, and i might be able to tie it up if I have an old twist-out, but a "messy bun" is often not possible.
"he ran his hands through your hair": yeah...unless my hair is in a silk press (and an OLD silk press), that's not happening
there are a plethora of other examples that would make this post insanely long, so let me get to the point. there are very easy ways to make fanfic a bit more inclusive; all you have to do is tweak a few character descriptions. OR, put in your pairing or warnings that the reader is implied to be white.
and finally: please, please stop tagging your DARK fanfictions "xblack!reader." i am tired of searching for fluff under the black reader tag and finding non-con, dark themes, etc., ESPECIALLY when the fic ends up being for a white reader💀.
the goal of my page is to create a safe space for black girls who love reading fanfiction. i am only one person, so if you'd like to help, here are some ways to do that!
send me fics (preferably marvel and stranger things to start) that are with a black reader
comment some other things in fanfics that imply that the reader is white or that make the fic a little less accessible
