friendship breakups are fucking rough y'all

#katherine gets personal #NOTHING QUITE LIKE GETTING HOME AND SEEING A CARD FROM SAID FRIEND RIGHT ON YOUR DESK #ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT KEEPS YOU GOING #AND KNOWING THAT FRIEND DECIDED YOU WEREN'T WORTH THE TIME TO TALK TO YOU WHEN YOU STARTED DRIFTING APART #cool #cool cool cool cool #UGH okay did the vague online venting #got that out of my system #now it's time to try and keep on keepin' on #ah cool and in the time it took me to write this a second friend responded to a message saying their friendship priorities lay elsewhere #good fucking lord what a mess of a day

Like. I can understand some Titans fans not liking Jason.

(Maybe not understand, but, yknow. I can forgive that. Jason was only actually a titan for about two minutes, if you know anything about him you know it's going to end badly, and the writers generally did a terrible job of balancing his complicated character with basically anything else in the show. I don't like it, but I *get* it.)

But thinking that DONNA TROY is an "unnecessary side character" in a show based on thee Titans is something else I stg

#it's a beautiful morning and dis is being a bitch #tell me you've only ever watched the teen titans cartoon without telling me you've only ever watched the teen titans cartoon #I'm sorry this is why i should stay out of the tags lmao #ANYWAY #got that out of my system #now back to our regularly scheduled blogging

I saw a post condemning the use of food/minerals to describe shades of brown/black skin and I'm just--

Okay, so. I tell you my character Mary has brown skin. What's the first thing you think of?

This?

Or this?

"But ONF," you might say, "That's not fair. If you're telling me a character is brown, then OBVIOUSLY I'm going to think of a brown person and not a brown object."

Which, hey, totally fair. Let's try that again. I tell you Mary is brown. Do you picture this?

Or this?

"But ONF," you say, "that's not fair. That's what adjectives are for. You could say 'Mary has light brown skin,' or 'Mary has medium brown skin,' and then we, the reader, would know what you meant."

Would you though? Would you?

Let's say Mary has medium brown skin.

This is medium brown.

So is this.

But surprise! I was thinking of this:

Which brings me to my next point: undertones. The way brown skin looks is heavily dependent on the person's undertone. Thinking that every light/medium/dark brown person is the same shade of light/medium/dark brown is why you see drugstore makeup brands that have fifteen shades of pale yellow/pink on the shelf and three dark brown ones. But I promise you, it's not true.

But how do you capture the richness and variety of brown skin tones in writing?

Wait for it...

...Food and minerals! That's right, folks! What better way to quickly and accurately convey color than to compare it to a pre-existing thing almost everyone in your reading audience will have seen or interacted with?

"Mary's medium-brown skin glistened in the light." BORING.

"Mary's ochre skin glistened in the light." HOT.

Now, this won't apply 100% of the time, especially if you established earlier in the story what shade of brown the character's skin resembles. I don't need to be reminded every instance that 'Sean's skin is the cool brown of dark chocolate.' You can just say 'dark skin' after that, that's fine.

Be mindful of your character's mindset, too, when choosing how to describe brown (or really any skin tone in general). What brown things are likely to be top of mind for them? Ex: a farmer might think of fresh tilled soil or an Ayrshire, a business person might think of his oxfords.

Or maybe your character really doesn't care much for the other person/isn't super observant/isn't terribly imaginative and they really would just say "Bob had brown skin."

That's fine too! But for the love of god, don't feel like you need to limit yourself to bland-ass descriptors because someone on Tumblr told you to.

(TBH feeling like you need validation from strangers on Tumblr before you make decisions in your personal/creative life is THE WORST way to exist, but that's a topic for another rant.)

-Signed me, an Actual Black Person™ (Nars Macao or MAC NC50 for reference)

(But friendly reminder black/brown people aren't a monolith (for that matter NO people are a monolith) so if you ever see someone claiming to speak for ALL black/brown people they're full of shit)

AU where Jason gets his revenge by becoming a lawyer and getting joker sentenced to the death penalty

Bruce is conflicted about it but any time he tries to say anything on the subject Alfred just talks over him like "oh we're so proud of you master Jason you finished college and you didn't even use your father's extensive resources that could've easily gotten someone in this family a degree aren't we so proud master Bruce that Jason got himself a respectable profession--"

#jason todd #red hood #batfam #i also think it would be funny if thats literally the only thing jason does as a lawyer after that he just goes back to being a vigilante #everyone on the internet is like 'the iconic career of jason todd wayne: came back from the dead got a college degree got the joker-#-sentenced to death (finally) and then immediately fucked off to do whatever the hell it is he does for fun'#any time bruce and jason disagree jasons like 'excuse me which one of us is the college drop out and which of us is a practicing attorney?'#alfred 'you could have been a doctor but you became a furry themed vigilante instead' will never let this go #also btw jason just stole reasources from the league to get thru college. maybe at first talia was like what & then jason was like #'my alternate plan was to either get bruce to kill the joker or kill all three of us in an explosion' and talia is like #'okay. have fun at school sweetie'#BTW AN EDIT: this post is not reflective of my IRL beliefs about the criminal justice system or the death penalty #IRL those are way more complicated than gotham city/the joker/jason make it out to be #saw a few people tagging this post mentioning stuff about that
