“I guess. Granted, never really tried understanding those old ‘wise people’ sayings. Half the time they don’t make no sense anyways- though that one does, at least.”
“Guess it’s comforting to know you ain’t the only one that feels a certain way, yanno? …I know I still have days where I barely recognize myself in the mirror, so sounds like it applies to all kinda of shit.”
My father used to quote such things to me. My vizier and uncle as well though I hardly paid uncle much mind. He would have shoved me over a pyramid if he could have gotten away with it so I took all of his wise words with a grain of salt. Anyway, you’re right. It does bear some comfort on those days we find ourselves thinking too much.

“Hm… Yeah, I guess that’s true. Kinda comforting to think about, when ya put it like that, really.”
Ah it can be when you’re having a day. I see many imperfections in the mirror but most of mine are not so easily fixed by a quick shave and potential hair cut. I guess the point is that none of us are truly happy with who we are, but some of us learn how to live with those imperfections rather than dwell on them. I think. I stopped trying to truly understand ye old wise words a long time ago.

❝ i stole rather than starve. i killed rather than be killed. ❞ - Negan to Carol || @furysname
“You’re telling me all of this as if I give a damn what you do or did.” She would pause momentarily --- just long enough to wipe the sweat from her brow. Negan would get but a quick glance at best before Carol’s shovel was back in the dirt making room for a new tomato plant.
“Are you gonna help, or are you going to keep standing there sprouting your sob stories? I don’t... care about any of that Negan. You’ve heard the stories about me. Can’t help but think I’ve got no right to judge you for anything.”
And this she knew better than anyone, including her beloved Daryl. Henry was gone, but that didn’t mean his image upon that pike didn’t still eat away at her every single day. What Negan did in the past was wrong true enough, but he was the least of her concerns right now. And the more she pummeled the earth with that tiny shovel, the more she imagined that dirt as someone else’s face.

how to write a black character if you not black yourself, a how to by yours truly, me, cammy
yeah so aight, i did one of these like. last year, here’s the original post right here so yeah. there’s been a lot more stuff that’s been going on in terms with writing black characters and nonblack people being the authors and ones running the blogs since then and a lot of it is just garbage and needs repair. like, i just been thinking, jesus, we need to fix this, how’s it gonna happen. he told me to make another guide so here we are.
ONE. stop expecting brownie points for having a black character/faceclaim anywhere, and i mean ANYWHERE on your blog.
that shit is corny. why should you be gassed up and praised for having a black character? i’m black and i don’t get praised for having a black character, so why are you different? no one gets gassed for using a white faceclaim, so you shouldn’t get gassed up for using a black one? diversity shouldn’t be praised or gassed up, deviating from the norm of a very white/nonblack roleplay environment or any general media, writing, what have you doesn’t deserve an award. you’re supposed to step outside of that and write different characters, you don’t get a cookie.
TWO. stop acting like you own black faceclaims.
that shit is just weird and uncomfortable. if people wanna use a certain faceclaim, then they’re gonna do it. you don’t own them as a person or faceclaim, so don’t get mad when you see duplicates of them and act entitled. black celebrities have their own agency and really don’t act or do anything really just so you can feel like you own their resources on tumblr dot edu.
THREE. use other faceclaims that aren’t light skinned or “racially ambiguous.”
kehlani? kiersey? zoe? zendaya? tinashe? nicki? bey? rihanna? they need a rest. they’re tired, okay, listen to me. your character being black or you using a black faceclaim does not mean they have to be light skinned. use someone different? i promise it’s not gonna kill you, i swear it won’t. if resources and icons are the only things holding you up with using black people with darker skin as your faceclaim then maybe you just don’t need to write a black character at all. there’s people on here that make icons, go ask for some requests if it’s really an issue and you don’t know how to make them? go on pb_updates, look outside of tumblr for icons, like, there’s just zero excuse for it.
FOUR. stop using poc in the place of black.
that shit is aggravating too. black isn’t a bad word like i said. don’t be afraid to say your character is black? poc and black aren’t interchangeable all the time like please stop.
FIVE. if you aren’t black and you’re writing a black character, you need to cool it on talking about black issues/culture.
what i mean by this is if you’re not black, you don’t need to stick your nose where it don’t belong. don’t think just because you write a black character, you can speak up on black experiences or things specific to black people. don’t talk about aave and using it or antiblack slurs, it’s not your place. don’t think you know everything about black culture because you possibly could not know. just. don’t speak over black people and what we go through. you’re free to bring attention to black issues and things like that? but if someone asks you, go ahead and direct them to an actual black person so you don’t get in trouble on here.
SIX. be aware of antiblack/colorist tropes.
your only evil character being dark skinned? bad look. always shipping light skinned femmes with dark skinned masculine people while leaving dark skinned femmes without any kind of relationship/connections? bad look. your light skinned characters being regarded as pure and beautiful and brown/darker skinned ones being regarded as ugly and mean? bad look. there’s tons of other tropes that play into colorism and antiblackness and if you aren’t sure that you’re about to do it, ask someone who’s black and/or do your research just to make sure you don’t contribute to these harmful stereotypes and tropes.
SEVEN. get it together with your graphic designs of your black characters.
if you do art or make your own icons, that’s dope, big ups to you for having that kind of talent and determination. what isn’t dope is when you have your art of your black characters and it just looks like a recolor of a white character. yeah, not all black people have “black” features or they have”white” features those of which that are usually considered to be more “delicate” like having smaller lips or noses and is already a shitty and racist ideal in itself, but its enough of us that do for you to get it together and learn how to draw them. black people have big noses and lips, afros, braids, dreads, twists, discoloration, like! we’re not a monolith and don’t all look like we’re white painted black, get it together. if you can’t draw black characters that look black, maybe you need to step your art game up considerably.
EIGHT. stop ignoring what black writers say concerning struggles with their black characters.
i’m sorry, but we all know the roleplay community is racist. we all know at this point, there’s no way you can’t. if you’ve gone your whole time on here writing white characters and having them praised then going to writing a black character that gets little to no recognition, don’t even be surprised at all. you’re gonna get ignored, you’re gonna struggle for interactions, just keep that in mind because unfortunately in this community, it comes with the territory. it’s going to take time and you’re not going to get a thousand followers in three weeks like you would with a white character. people are gonna be racist and disrespectful towards your character at some point, there’s really just no getting around it most if not all the time as sad as it is. if we can’t surpass any of these problems, don’t think that you can.
NINE. step your character concepts up.
the stereotypes are tired, ok. the drug dealers/lords, the violent rap artists, fashion bloggers with bad attitudes, like? why? and it’s not that black people like that don’t exist, because they certainly do. the big problem is that no one bothers to develop these characters at all? it’s just a trope pasted on a face, they have no emotional agency or ties, the audience has no emotional ties with the character. outside of that, black people do the same stuff nonblack people do? we’re doctors, teachers, lawyers, stay at home parents, models, business owners, anything nonblack people do, black people do too. stop just pasting stereotypes and tropes on to your black characters without developing anything at all and expecting it to just be cool and not shitty or boring and think you’re gonna get by that way.
TEN. please chill with the fetishization and hypersexualization of black bodies.
this shit is aggravating. aggravating and nasty. if all you can do with your black character is reduce them to how their body looks and how sexy they are or how much they have sex you need to get it together. this is not me saying not to write hypersexual black characters, but this isn’t even the same thing. like if all you talk about is how “thicc uwu look at her ass uvu” your character is and how much they love to fuck it’s like, gross. the history of black people being fetishized for their bodies and being unnecessarily hypersexualized is a horrible and disgusting one, so you need to be careful not to do any of that period.
anyways, this is just a fraction of what i need to touch on to be honest, just a small little part. this post is probably worded harshly or what have you, but please understand where i’m coming from. i’m just tired of the shitty antiblack tropes and the racism and entitlement, okay? black people, real and fictional, need to be respected.

i love how marvel released a whole ass deleted scene from thor’s ragnarok last week that completely changes how you view loki. for everyone who thought he was scum, you get a moment from him with odin that reminds you all he ever wanted was odin’s approval; to be looked at in the same light as thor. to be considered thor’s equal to some degree. thor had his strength ( in the MCU ) while loki has his tricks and magic. but some of that was just him desperate for attention ( like any child does with their parents ) and i just... and in that scene loki’s averting his gaze and looking at odin like ‘wow... man...’ its almost too late for your approval but i did love seeing the brothers standing together, preparing to fight together. it gives a bit more clarity to the scene where thor and loki stand with odin before he finally vanishes. but im just... marvel pls.

THE LACK OF PURPOSE AND DESTINY. He had nothing. The god of this world had brought him here, giving him a body that was weak. A role within this world that was meant to see him already dead. The god had promised a forth life to him, one were the wrongs committed against him would be undone, but he didn’t want to die - ever again. He had already passed twice and each death was a horrid experience that had left a lasting impression upon him.
His eyes blink for a moment as he looks at this man, who held the appearance of a human male, but was anything but that. He could smell it on him, there was power there - stronger than anything he had ever come across since striking out on his own in this world. Talking to humans was dangerous, he had learnt that really quickly, but there was no danger with this one, he doubted this man would strike a child or attempt to kill him. To converse with him a little longer would be safe.
“Half –” He corrected the man, he was only half vampire, not a full blooded one. “I remember that from before –” That book, the author, these were things he could remember in his past life. “Nothing is immortal truly - anything can be killed - even gods.”
He wasn’t sure he agreed about the Gods thing, for if it were truly possible to take out several of the ones he once served, he likely would have had a different future. Even so, he liked this one’s fighting spirit. Most everything had a weakness. It was just a matter of being smart enough to find it.
That aside, he was still quite confused. For instance, was this one always a child or did his gods see fit to keep putting him in a child’s form? If it were the latter, how cruel, but to be expected of gods in general. And if not, well, this was certainly different. The spirit of the ring burning beneath the pharaoh’s shirt was being a pain, urging him to ask many more questions, but that wasn’t Atem’s style. The less he knew, the better yet he wasn’t sure where to go from here without asking many more questions. He obviously needed help, or at least a ear to vent to. Since Atem was here, he might as well hear him out since he was fresh out of playing the helping hero these days.
“I...guess. I wouldn’t know since I’ve never tried to fight god. Even so, you uh... that’s some story kid. What are you supposed to do now? I mean, I suppose you have to live your life but... will you even grow in form? Or are you stuck as a child for however long eternity might be for you?” He paused. “And feel free to ignore my questions. It honestly isn’t my business anyway and well, I don’t much like people asking me questions about my life so it’s only fair I mind my manners. I’ve just... well again, it’s not everyday you meet a half vampire.”
