so i hate to do this but uhhh

khepri [ riegastrung / exaltears / exaltborne / bxstiae ] is racist, ableist, and transphobic. i have written a document detailing the shit he’s said here. 

obviously like, don’t go harassing him or anything, and this isn’t me trying to tell u who you can / can’t interact with, but i think it’s important for people to know. 

[fivenightsleft]

he’s actually had other incidents of racism and even cop bootlicking on bxstiae. here’s the post, and here’s the google doc he’d put up. even despite supposedly apologizing for this, the anons he received afterwards show that he hasn’t changed much.

( here’s a backup of the google doc in case he deletes it, hope ur fellow cops see it bro )

PSA: responsible representation within roleplay. 

I could easily be one of the LEAST qualified people to write this post, but lately I’ve noticed a  phenomenon within roleplaying communities. writers will change their muses’ race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ( or attempt to tackle a muse of another race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ) without writing any supporting headcanons or making any attempts to incorporate those identities into their muses’ story. Sometimes these “efforts” at representation go no further than a simple faceclaim change ( and, in the worst cases, an alt faceclaim ).  This can feel like a token gesture to minority groups, and to be honest, it is. It is GREAT roleplayers are beginning to understanding the need representation within roleplay communities !!  Representation is needed. But RESPONSIBLE representation is needed.   Writing a character of a marginalized identity should be proceeded by education and dedication. 

1. EDUCATE YOURSELF: 🗸 learning about systemic racism, intersectionality, sexual & racial & gender discrimination, cultural & ethnic norms, external & internalized oppression, whitewashing & erasure, misgendering &passing, tokenism vs. diversity, nuance & stereotypes ( and much more ) will contribute to your ability at writing good representation.  If any of these topics may sound completely foreign to you– so DO YOUR RESEARCH!   HELPFUL LINKS FOR STARTERS:  writing people of color writing poc when you are white writing characters of other sexual orientations comprehensive list of lgbtq+ terms stereotypes and tropes navigation preventing tokenism gender-inclusive guidelines introducing race & skin color naturally

2. DEDICATE YOURSELF: reach out to qualified friends and acquaintances with a genuine curiosity and willingness to learn what life is like in their shoes. be open to accepting hard truths, facing hidden biases, and correcting personal misconceptions. puruse articles and blogs that address the identity you’re looking to write. When re-working your muse, DO incorporate what you’ve learned into their history, psyche, mentality, logic, and ultimate story.  things to avoid straight out the gate: X stereotyping -  falling back on tropes & generalizations  X cultural appropriation -  writing about a culture that is not yours, while perpetuating stereotypes or egregiously misrepresenting it X whitewashing - portraying your muse as lighter than they are X fetishism -  fetishizing a person or culture belonging to a race or ethnic group, as well as a person belonging to a certain sexual or gender identity group X tokenism -  including a minority character for the simple sake of having a minority character  X homogenizing - “every gay is the same”, “every latinx person is the same”. to avoid this, write your muse with their own unique dreams, goals, thoughts, stories, and passions.  important things to remember:  🗸  just because you fall into a specific minority group does NOT mean you understand life through the eyes of another minority group. X  “Oh heck, I could easily write a black muse without research, after all I’m gay.” 🗸 “As a gay man, I acknowledge that people of color have their own unique perspectives and experiences that I have never lived.” 

“But that’s a lot of work!”       BINGO. People can’t peel their identities off like a pair of clothes, so arbitrarily changing or writing a muses of a certain race / sexuality / ethnicity / gender without appropriately explaining how such changes alter the fabric of their identity, sends out the message that these identities are totally inconsequential. 

“But I might screw up.”          It’s quite possible you won’t get everything right, but that’s where you stay open to critique, criticism, and pointers, and reach out to people where you can’t find answers. The answer isn’t to totally throw in the towel. 

“It would just be easier to write my own identity.”  Again, representation is needed within writing. refusing to do so because it’s “work” is a major cop-out.

In summary, offering up the bare minimum representation isn’t good enough anymore. Representation must be rooted in learning and understanding. So educate yourself, dedicate yourself, and REPRESENT the people groups who need it the most. Be safe, and be responsible with your muses’ identities. 💖

cant believe i forgot to log in on this monstrosity’s birthday

what if u gently caressed this post

[crestid]

you are born in a land where summer does not come. summer does not come but her sister does—tender spring. and you are in love with her at once.

you are in love with puny white blossoms dotting shrubs that will never bear fruit and you are in love with her melting icicles. you love sinking skinny legs and feet into shallows of a lake with water still ice-cold for as long as you can stand it.

as you get older, you will love other things. you will love scores of girls and a few boys in the chilly shade atop damp moss. you will love listening to woodpeckers knocking holes in burgeoning dawn light and being damp with morning dew with another person’s head resting soundly over your heart.

you will love too blindly and hopefully. you will love your brother despite all that he does to you, all that he loathes you and wills you to die.

he will inform you that your blood has a price tag and that every heart you have ever come close to was consumer, was capitalist. a fat sack of coins and eager to buy, your blood and not the heart that pumped it. he will tell you (with glee) what a sucker you are, what child, what fool, what jape.

he will tell you and the love in your heart will burrow and sleep like an animal curls underground with the coming of winter. and months will pass and the animal will not wake up and spring never returns to gautier.
