seeing black women take up space in writing and giving ourselves stories where we are valued and loved instead of only having content focused on our traumas:

#love to see all my black women experiencing love #this blog is forever centered around black women #black women deserve everything good #argue with the wall if you disagree #black tumblr #black writers #black fandom #black women in fandom #theeblackmedusa

As a black woman who has seen how fandom specifically treats Black woman and girls who have non - black partners, lemme just say….

I better not see any of the usual fandom fuckery in reguards to Percabeth.

No ‘She would be so much better single’ this or ‘She don’t need no man’ that.

It’s not the compliment you think it is.

About Online Threats Abuse & Misogynoir Towards Black Women in the Entertainment Industry...

Susan Wokoma appeared on the Woman's Hour on BBC Radio recently and she bravely spoke out on the letter of support she and Somalia Seton put together to support Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, as well as speaking candidly on the effects the online abuse that Black women face have...

I IMPLORE people in these fandoms, especially where harassment of Black women happens to listen to this podcast to understand what it does. Listen below:

There is a very white tendency to either make the focus their own sympathetic reaction to a Black woman entertainer being bullied/harassed like this (crying or feeling bad for it happening to them) or minimize what's happening. "It's only one or two" or "They'll probably never see it." And I get the tendency to want to either distance or somehow equalize it to the harassment white women face, as well...but there is a particular nastiness that comes with misogynoir that gets at literally wanting to dehumanize and punish a Black woman for existing. The intention is to destroy them completely, rather than put in place. Anyway, I encourage anyone who cares about Black women in fandom to give the segment interviewing Susan Wokoma, a listen.

Some things about Comic!Natasha Romanoff I think often about

How Natasha thought for YEARS that she was a ballerina with the Bolshoi theatre only to find out it was all a lie

Her marriage / relationship with Nikolai (+ Rose)

How she went from "one in 28 Black Widow Agents" to "the last remaining Black Widow"

Black Widow: No Restraints Play (the whole comic. Everything about this comic is perfect.)

Sally Anne and Natasha's mother-daughter relationship

Rosie and Natasha

How people believed that Black Widow was only Cold War Propaganda and that she isn't real

The implication she might be a descendant of the House of Romanov

Her relationship w/ Bucky

Her relationship friendship w/ Marina

Her brothers (idc about the retcon) and basically her whole entire bio!family

"The Red Death" "The Slavic Shadow"

Her revenge when her sisters got murdered -> her psychopathic side, I need more of it, not less

There's more but those are the main points

Y'all, this book series is everything I ever wanted in a book series. I don't know why people tried to push it as a romance book 💀. It deals with generational trauma, racism, and demons, with just a tiny pinch of romance. Lowkey thinking about making a video about this but we’ll see.

Bi-Han x B!F Wife Reader

TRAINING

Summary: Bi-han was having the clan train, Kuai Liang monitoring it and Y/N wanted to join. But one of the Lin Kuei’s went a bit to far, and Bi-han was not accepting that.

Tags: Fluff/protect, slight drama, over-protective

A/N: Bi-han does not play about his woman

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

You just had finish treating yourself of earthrealms female activities, Sonya took you for a girls out to explore earth.

With a hard push to have Bi-han approve of you going, so you had body guards as if you couldn’t defend yourself… well to a certain extent.

Y/N bid her friend Sonya farewell, as you were headed to back to your room to show it off to your husband. You passed where the Lin Kuei was training.

Y/N saw her brother-In-law Kuai Liang, he was showing his clan new skills. You watched standing between the threshold.

“What are you doing woman?” A cold tone came from behind her. There was only one man that talked with such coldness.

“Beloved! Ooh look!” You ran up hugging his arm, and putting your hand in his face.

“You like my nails, there blue and light blue. I know how much you love it when I wear your color. Ooh, and I let my braids out!”

Y/N stepped back not to far shaking her big fluffy curly Afro. It was literally touching your shoulders. He left your hand kissing the back of your palm.

“It is Beautiful, I am pleased to know you enjoyed yourself.” Bi-han gave a small smile, that was quickly gone as he entered the training spot.

Of course you followed behind, as you love watching the training sessions and little spar.

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

As the training was continuing, you heard Kuai Liang ask anyone if they would like to spar with one of the Lin Kuei warriors, who went by the name “Lu Min”(A/N: don’t judge me about the name lol). Who was there most skilled warrior

“I can spar with them!” Y/N volunteered herself happily. Kuai Liang gave you a shocked expression, then turned to his brother. Who only waved his hand giving his approval.

You stood up and put your hair into two big puffs. “It is an honor to be able to spar with the grand mistress herself.” Lu Min bowed.

“Likewise.” You returned the gesture. You got into a fighting stance. You were lucky you didn’t have to change. You had a comfortable attire on, that was suitable for fighting.

As you both spar, you earned a couple impressed reactions.

You’ve been doing some training of your own and sometimes practice with your husband.

But you wanted to show off something you learn, which was a double aerial kick before you kicked him down.

“A little something ya girl learned on her own.” You noticed an impressed grin from Bi-han. He expected nothing less from you, as he does not marry weak women.

“We’re not finish yet.” Lu Min said a bit more agitated. You noticed but brushed it off.

He charged at you, but you blocked his punch, then he swepped his leg under her making her fall.

Before Y/N could block, he punched her hard in her chest. Knocking the wind out of you, you grunted slightly.

Trying to get up, then he kicked you hard against the wall and punched you dead in your face, but used your hands to protect it slightly, which didn’t do much. Earning a whimper out of you, your face bruised.

Before it could continue, Kuai Liang ended the fight. Standing between you both, Y/N thanked the gods for the intervention. Because she be damned if she tapped out.

Not wanting to seem weak, but was boy fighting as if it was a real Mortal Kombat. The pain was getting to you, and he just fucked up the nails you just got did.

You felt the aura of the room changed, Bi-han kneeled in front of you. Gripping your face and looking at your wounds

{You wondered to yourself on when you had got on the ground}

“You are bruised but not broken. We will end this little sparring session.”

You could tell Bi-han was pissed that one of his men went overboard, “I-It’s fine Bi-han, I was just caught off guard I’m alright babe… Well, except my nails.” You tried to play off jokingly, but he was in no joking mood.

Bi-han called one of the medics and asked them to tend to your wounds in your shared room with Bi-han.

“You will finish your sparring lesson with me.” Bi-han pointed at Lu Min, who was already apologizing and begging for mercy.

You were taken away before you could see an outcome

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.

You were laying in the bed, leaning against the headboard. Looking at what was your newly blue and light blue nails.

Fingers bandaged, some broke off fully(which hurt like a bitch) and others half broken but still sore as it was new.

Then you heard Bi-han entered the room, he sank the bed as sat on the edge. Pulling your hands to his lips kissing it.

“You didn’t kill the poor boy did you?” Y/N asked worryingly, you didn’t want to get anyone killed.

“Why does it matter.” Bi-han bluntly responded settling in the bed and pulling you close to him.

“Bi-hannnnn.” You whined, Bi-han was kissing your neck then bruises.

“He’s lucky Kuai Liang was there.” Bi-han, would have killed him if it weren’t for his brother holding him back. As he was already taught a lesson and made as an example to the others if they ever felt like being bold. How dare anyone ruin his wife’s beautiful face.

Y/N was alright with that response, at least he was alive. You gave him a sweet kiss on the lips before confirming to him that you’re alright and you will live and heal… except your nails.

“I’m sad about my nails though, they were so cute and nice… After all that money I spent on it.” You pouted.

“Money is no issue my dear wife, you can go again tomorrow.” Bi-han told you, giving you a smile. Your the only person he shows this too.

“THAT MEANS YOUR TAKING ME DADDY!?” You sat up excitedly. Bi-han huffed with a smirk before getting out the bed and heading to wash himself up.

“I never said that, it means you can find your own way again.” Bi-han told you before disappearing in the bathroom.

“BI-HANNNNNNN!” You whined loudly.

A/N: These are what your nails looked like, also hoped you enjoyed this story as well

ATTENTION: PJO Fandom

I realize that many of you are, in fact, kids and some of you have not shared much space with Black fans in your fandom, so I will try to make this short and sweet.

See this girl? This is Leah Sava Jeffries, the actress who plays Annabeth Chase in the PJO TV Show.

Now, the way that Tumblr is set up, if you tag somebody, when others check that tag to find images and information on them, they see every post in which you have tagged the someone. That being said.

If you are making a post, and this girl is not in the post, please don't tag this girl. Her name is Leah Sava Jeffries, and if someone is going to that tag, it is specifically so we can find Leah Sava Jeffries content.

If I wanna find your drawing of Percy, I will check his tag. If we are looking for commentary about Poseidon & Sally, we can check their tags. But where I shouldn't have to see posts that are not about Leah Jeffries or posts that do not have Leah Jeffries images or information is the Leah Jeffries tag.

So. What I am saying is if you are someone who tags things automatically and places tags on content that are not the content of that tag, you are crowding this girl's tags, I'ma report your post as spam, maybe even block you. But in the meantime, you'll be clogging this girl's tags for people who are coming into her tag specifically to see posts for her. And you don't need to do that. Whatever it is that your post is, the fans who are looking for that will find it in that tag.

Don't tag non-Leah things with Leah's name. Don't tag non-Annabeth things with Annabeth's name. Don't clog up Black performers and Black characters tags with things that are not them.

Yes, this is my personal peeve, but it also is simply a rude thing to do, especially in situations where Black girl characters are already hard to find and enjoy. Give her the space that belongs to her and give her fans that space to find and enjoy her. Thank you.

Among other things, it’s just the double standard for me. Two people can be sworn enemies and be shipped, people can be different species and be shipped, two people can be full blooded siblings and be shipped, two dudes who talk about their feelings with each other are shipped and seriously guys, more power to you. Go nuts. But ask yourselves why fandoms will get on board with just about any pairing on vibes alone, but only seem to suddenly become passionate about friendship when a Black girl’s involved.

The thing that pisses me off about Mark and Amber is it's just another couple to add to the list of relationships that get broken up or tossed aside that feature a black woman.

It happened with Angela and Shawn on Boy Meets World. It happened with Bonnie and Damon, who were a canon couple in the books. It happened with Abbie and Ichabod in Sleepy Hollow. It also happened Riverdale multiple times, both with Archie and Jughead. It keeps happening and it's tiring. Why make Amber a black woman and not understand how it might look having her relationship shelved for the sake of Mark and Eve.

It's so frustrating and I'm so tired.

Carmelo Hayes x Fem!Reader

Summary: How do you and Carmelo fight and make up?

A/N: Heres a small head cannons bc I am in my Carmelo era and want to put something out while I am working on other stuff. Hope you enjoy!

You guys agree on most things, so fights rarely happen.

The most people have seen you ‘fight’ is when you playfully bickering with each other, which usually ends with him cornering you, picking you up and showering you with kisses until you ‘apologized’

It usually happens when one of you is stressed out.

Carmelo is stressed out about a string of losses, and you kept trying to get him to open up and he snapped at you.

You have a tendency to shut people out when they get angry at you, so you do that for the next few days.

Carmelo felt guilty and tried to talk to you but you avoid him, so he let’s you cool off, knowing talking to you while you were angry would make it worse.

But after a day or two he couldn’t take it anymore, so he found you backstage and asked you to come to the locker room with him. You were about to decline, but you saw the sad look on his face and how sorry he looked and you felt couldn’t refuse him, letting him lead you there.

He apologizes for snapping at you, saying sometimes work gets to his head but that’s no excuse to treat you like that.

You accept but tell him you shouldn’t have bombarded him like that and given some space.

He shakes his head and refuses to let you apologize, cutting you off every time you even utter the words ‘I’m sorry’ and you smile at his antics. His heart warms at the sight, and he gives you a hopeful smile and opens his arms.

You smile back and hug him, letting his strong arms wrap around you tightly and bring you into him, feeling like you could relax for the first time after the argument.

He leaned down and kissed your forehead, tightening his arms around you and brought you closer to him, and the both of you finally felt at home in each others arms.

not to be a woman womaning all over the place but i feel like if you genuinely like. do not have friends that are women then you have something to work on. if you cant think of any female characters that you treat the same way you do male characters then you have something to work on. if you cant handle even seeing "i dont like being called a guy/bro/lad/etc because it doesnt feel gender neutral to me" but can understand when one of your masc besties is uncomfortable with being called girlie or sister then you have something to work on. if your default in regards to how you handle other people and even characters is to assume masculinity then you have something to work on. if you cant even let women and otherwise feminine people speak about our experiences without bringing up how you suffer too then you have something to work on.

it doesnt matter if youre queer or a poc or a minority in whatever which way, if you do not include women in your life and cant even stand a fucking inch of genuine feminism (and i dont mean terfs but god is it fucking agonizing that thats all you people can think of when you hear feminism anymore) where the point is to treat women, all women, equally then you have something to work on. listen to women, even the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours (hell ESPECIALLY the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours). just like how we all have to check ourselves for racism, ableism, queerphobia, we all have to check ourselves for misogyny too. stop acting like it got solved at some point. it still exists and it exists within you and you have to actually fucking work on that. "women should be included in your life and you should listen to them" shouldnt be a hard goddamn pill to swallow.

#mask mews #truly i dont think if you can call yourself a feminist then thats a red flag. actually. like legit #yes fuck terfs we all fucking hate terfs but if thats all you can think of when you hear feminism youre letting them win #youre lettin the misogynistic assholes who call people 'feminazis' win. the mras the pieces of shit who treat our rights like a debate topic #and no transmascs yall are not exempt from them just because youve experienced misogyny too #i see misogyny from queer men all the time and yall need to stop acting like being a minority #prevents you from being harmful to other minorities #black men often perpetuate misogynoir. trans men often perpetuate transmisogyny. gay men often perpetuate lesbophobia #just as women can perpetuate the harmful shit against all of those groups too #we're all being shit to each other and we all need to check ourselves and im tired of people acting #like its just okay to like. exclude women from shit #its exhausting and its misogynistic and i think especially in this fandom none of you ever moved on from thinking gaming is only for men #watch yourselves. watch how you talk about women. about femininity. #how when yall talk about the annoying cis white women #its clear which of yall are annoyed about the cis white parts. and which of yall are annoyed about the woman part

Chefs Kiss (Sydcarmy) fans stay with me, Chefs!

I’m not taking anything Ayo, Jeremy and Christopher say against sydcarmy, aka Chefs Kiss, seriously.

They purposefully kept Carmen and Sydney as separate as possible this season, which is a big mistake in my opinion.

The show is about the characters and their relationships with each other. Food is a part of it, but it’s mostly the relationship each character has with one another that makes the show.

The writers trying to dispel the rumours by keeping what I would call our male and female leads apart is nuts because Jeremy and Ayo play so well off of each other but by separating them Jeremy gave his weakest acting (which is still very good) during Carmy/Claire scenes?

They keep saying The Bear doesn’t need romance then give Carmen a whole relationship that was so boring to watch for like 7 episodes and felt like watching paint dry because Claire isn’t engaging.

I’m expected to care about her, what she supposedly means to Carmen and hear about how great she is but don’t get to see it? She’s an ER resident for gods sake and she’s running around town giggling every 5 minutes without a semblance of the hard work and exhaustion that comes with being a doctor.

And for the reason stated above, I believe she’s a manic pixie dream girl. She’s there to change Carmen’s view on life, be different and quirky and the one who got away when in reality Carmy forgot who she was and had to be reminded which took him a whole 5 seconds to remember the supposed love of his life, purposefully gives her the wrong number and she says “You’re the Bear, of course I remember.”

No one was gonna take her seriously as the person to keep up with Carmy and help keep him sane.

Meanwhile Sydney does. She anchors him, she keeps up with him and she calls him out on his shit. Sydney isn’t perfect. She’s terrible at stating what she needs at that moment, she slightly short tempered and she is passive aggressive.

She also is working on her impatience and passive aggression. She eventually tells Carmy she needs his attention as her partner. She speaks up for herself to her dad and she’s not letting her ambition be treated like a bad thing anymore.

Carmen and Sydney would make sense because they are flawed. Carmy stops going to group therapy as soon as he starts dating Claire because she’s ‘fixed’ him and they don’t work because of that.

Sydney has ‘levelled up’ in her professional life, she’s more assertive and willing to listen and has just grown as a person and that type of continuous strive for self growth is what Carmen needs to see in order to do the same HIMSELF.

Sydney isn’t there to fix Carmy, she’s someone who he can grow alongside.

Claire was used as a kids bandaid to a gaping wound; the wound being Michael. Claire represents a life where Mikey was alive and Carm’s fucked up family was as whole and happy as it’s gonna be. She represents the past and everyone PUSHED him to want to date her in the past.

There is too much between our two chefs for simply business partners:

S1 shows Carmen scrubbing the floor of the restaurant when in turmoil while Sydney does the same in S2;

She’s spliced into the montage of Carmy and Claire as though she’s a silent part of their relationship;

She has the three dagger heart tattoo which typically represents romantic heartbreak and turbulence;

Carmen remembers her interest in his whites from three months prior even though she didn’t say anything and gets her her own custom whites;

The imagery from their conversation under the table? Him asking her to screw the other side and “say more, please” as he holds up the table (and Sydney) while she finally shares her fears;

“You’re not alone.” “Neither are you.”;

The memories of Sydney being what calms him from his panic attack;

During said panic attack, the song that was Claire and Carmen’s plays in reverse and any flashes of her are accompanied by memories of his dysfunctional family while the moment he thinks of Sydney? The song starts playing correctly. He calms and flashes of his family (and Claire) disappear;

Them constantly cooling an argument with the ‘I’m sorry’ gesture;

Him constantly being in tune with her emotions and body language.

Sydney represents a new beginning. The chance to build a healthy family with the staff of The Bear, Sydney, Natalie and Richie. She represents a future. She represents good change.

I’m fully convinced Ayo and Jeremy are just doing what all actors do with a ship that’s not yet canon: downplaying or dismissing it.

C’mon if you’ve been in The High School Musical The Musical The Series fandom and shipped Rina from the beginning, you know how it feels to be persecuted and gaslit by other fans and the actors for seasons.

TL:DR, Chefs Kiss is literally a super slow burn and no one of the team will confirm it until it actually happens.

Also, never let your girlfriend (Claire) stop you (Carmen) from opening a restaurant with the love of your life (Sydney)

And if you think they should “stay platonic”, ask yourself WHY every swirl ship with a white male lead and black female is hated by fandoms and the argument is “they’re best friends” or “they’re like siblings”. WHY can’t black women be desired? Because you can’t self insert? Check yourself before claiming a character who was so underwhelming I skipped so many scenes is a better match than the character who has seen him at his worst and told him he cannot and will not talk to her like that. The first person he thought to open a restaurant, that means so much to him, with

Tried to talk about how Martha being negatively compared to Rose enabled a lot of racism in the fandom so shipping them together and tieing Martha's self-worth to Rose for the 24th time isn't a good idea if you care about Black women in TV/Film like that and I get told I'm being a meanie in my replies AND DMs like thank you for proving my point that you lot don't care about Black female characters and can't be trusted with Black sapphic coding AT ALL
