Very generally speaking, when you see a black man in a piece of media, be it tv show, movie, video game, etc. there’s something you often see a lot of writers do. To go against the stereotype of black men (and black people in general) being dumb and lazy, you’ll see this black male character being smart and an achiever. 

The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.

Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.

And again I must say that Black people, not being a monolith, there are no hard fast rules to being Black. I’m more than sure there are Black people like what I’ve described above, I’m not saying it’s impossible; what I’m getting at is that the only Black Nerd we see. There are Black Nerds that play basketball, that bump Kendrick Lamar, and use AAVE since it’s an ever changing dialect. I’m just saying there’s no one way of being a nerd and no one way of being Black.

This ain’t about him, this is about Black/Asian solidarity. Focus.

a story about of how Lady Nimue and Sir Pelleas first met!

written by @mmm-asbestos, edited by @latbak!

if you have hard time reading, here's the writings under the cut!

Nimue emerged from her watery lair. Her garments and quills were pristine, and in the dark of the night she was glowing faintly, like a moon. Nimue's rest was disturbed by a visitor.

On the shore sat a blazing creature, covered in heat and flames - a sun at midnight. It resembled a knight kneeling in desperation, engulfed in fire. Her first instinct was to exstinguish the intruder,

but as she saw him closer,

she paused.

The lady studied his armor, fascinated by her unusual guest. His armour was lacking in signs of allegiance, made of dark metal she never laid her eyes upon before. It left her to wonder of his possible origin. Nimue couldn't recognize him as any lord's knight she's aware of.

Is he a knight at all?

The visitor's armour was constructed in a way that would make it a nightmare to wear and to behold - covered in spikes, bent at weird angles, impractical to anyone of flesh and blood. And yet, all she could say was:

"You are beautiful".
