This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
Nah cause this I literally can't turn red
the slasher community on here & ao3 needs to be more inclusive towards black people because tell me why tf i keep seeing “your face turned red” “he carded his fingers through your silky hair” cuz no tf he didn’t 😂 literally almost every fic i’ve read had a variation of that face turning red line, it’s so hard to ignore when it’s constantly happening & none of you give a fuck about your black readers enough to care
Best thing ever they ate both marvel and the artist ate with this
For you. For all of us.

I love you bitches mwah
reblog to send your mutuals a hug. maybe just the thought is enough to cheer them up 🥺
WOOSH! Your dashboard is now cleansed! Rb for good luck 👀
your reader should never ever blush to the eye, because black people (and obviously other races) exist and many can’t blush to the eye
alternatives: get flustered, heat rushes to their face, or they may appear bashful
that is all, please respect all POC because they don’t deserve to be ignored. please don’t be ignorant, thank youuu
mmm also! please think of gn!reader fics. i’m non-binary and it’s so hard to find shit. so please, sincerely, let me read content that pertains to me. and when someone puts “S/O” in a request. don’t make it a fem!reader >:(

yes
this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!
just a warning for any mcu writers who may have these two delightful people following them— you should promptly block them as they are not only plagiarisers, but bare faced liars when called out claiming they “didn’t steal anything” (from @metalbuckaroo and @bubblebuckys respectively) and the first troglodyte has been responding to asks with extreme homophobic slurs so on top of being a thief they’re a disgusting piece of shit too

1. Do a ctrl + f search of the colors red and pink. If these colors are being used to describe the reader in any way, delete it.
2. Instead of "blushing", use "goosebumps", "shivers", "avoiding eye contact", etc. It still conveys the same thing, and you can get more creative than just using "blushing" 10,000 times.
3. Don't mention being pale or becoming pale (like, seriously, this is just a given). If you want to talk about the reader looking sick or dying, use "ghastly" or "sunken eyes", etc. Again, this is a great opportunity to be more creative in your language as well as inclusive
4. For body-inclusivity, don't talk about the reader sharing clothes with someone. I personally would not fit into anything that Nancy Wheeler owns, so yeah, let's just not do this
5. Don't mention hair. A lot of us can't just wash our hair and move on with our day. Don't get me started on "running their fingers across their hair". Just refrain from descriptions of styling, washing, and touching the reader's hair.
6. Don't put pictures of pretty, white girls for "aesthetics". It honestly just deters readers, and it's just not inclusive in the slightest
That's it, that's basically all you need to do to be inclusive. I'll admit, as a lighter skin POC writer, some of these did slip my mind when I used to write, but what's important is actually listening to readers and encouraging inclusivity in your writing.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to put your own.
