JUNKRAT THEMED EVENT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Being inclusive with your reader insert fic is a kindness. It tells people of color (poc) that you are considering someone who does not look like you in your fic. It shows love and dedication to our craft. It tells poc that they belong here too and they can see themselves in your story.

Poc aren’t look for activism in fic, we know fandom isn’t that serious, but we should be able to have that same level of escapism when we turn to fic and fandom. We belong here too. This space is for everyone, not just one group of people.

Just to give a few examples of how simple it can be: say “skin warmed” instead of blushed, say “cradled your head” instead of running fingers through hair, say “angles yourself to kiss” instead of standing on tiptoes, use italics to indicate Spanish to take out a throwaway line of “you didn’t understand Spanish” things like that. Small changes that do not impact the fic at all but make a world of difference in inclusivity!

And for anything you can’t/don’t want to change, simply add warning in the beginning. Things like hair descriptors, anything reader might wear, some backstory for reader (especially involving family or where the story is set), readers job, things like that. A lot of times just having that heads up before the fic makes a world of difference!

And one example of kindness we as writers always worked to change: until recently (just a couple years ago) it wasn’t common to label the gender of the reader. But those who aren’t female asked writers to label it so they know which to read and which to avoid, and now it’s common to label the gender/pronouns of the reader. So it is possible! It just takes effort! And I’m a writer myself so I know it can be done!

We can pretend to be a bartender or a bounty hunter or an actress or anything else. But we shouldn’t have to imagine we’re a white one.

When you have the romantic interest praising the reader's appearance, which has so far been depicted in a certain way, it immediately breaks off the immersion for anyone who does not have the same traits. A reader insert is one of the most accessible ways people who don't fit a certain beauty standard can see themselves represented in media. Try to imagine how heartbreaking that can be.

[I'll go even further than that: unless specified with tags such as "archeologist reader" or "chef reader", you do not need to be writing about the reader's past :) or age :) or family :) It's ok to assume your Reader can cook if they run a bakery, but you don't need to say how they learned it from their mother :)]

(This might be my unpopular opinion, but I don't think Reader inserts are that easy of a tag to write for. It's a challenge, that's why it's hard.)

Notorious male feminist junkrat takes pole dancing lessons to empathize with what sex workers go through

[astralcities]

there will never be anything like being an overwatch fan from 2017-19 again.. such a wealth of content. white lucio. lucio's fuckdome. winston/hanzo date annotation. feminist junkrat. his holiness father stelios. george bush's "they say he could level a skyscraper". the analysis of how magic is real but only in japan. literally any post regarding the lack of lore. on that note, genji's dick having more lore than zenyatta. the way people went fucking crazy when they revealed that old white man morrison liked men

a little preview of bad pennies chapter 6

I've decided to take another week to write this chapter (which, by the way, might end up being split into two parts, but I'll post them together to avoid more cliffhangers than necessary)

so here's an ity bitty preview:

Smoke filled your lungs. Hot breath tickled your neck. Slim arms tightened around your waist while mismatched hands clawed at your flesh, grabbing and needy. The devil with glowing eyes. Surrounded by nothing but fire, he nipped at your bottom lip, piercing the skin and licking the wound with excited gentleness. You were paralyzed, enchanted by his everlasting gaze. Leaving yourself fully at his mercy, you hoped to dissolve into his chest as your bodies went up in flames.

You woke up with a jolt, tragically hugged only by your comforter. The heat from your dream seemed to linger, radiating from your core down your torso until the tips of your toes and fingers. You buried your face into your pillow, muffling a scream of frustration.

The side of you that had been in control for most of your life felt like a hostage inside your own body. You found yourself constantly caught in arguments in your head, as it desperately tried to steer you back towards the light.

“Yes, I like him!” you hunched over the bathroom sink, staring into your own, judging eyes. “So what? I’m an adult, I can do what I want!”

So what? So it makes you just as crazy as him!, you thought, sounding disappointed… and old and alone and a grinch. Responsible-you was a pain in the ass. You waved your reflection off, as if it could dispel the vision banging on the glass, begging you to reconsider your actions. “Please, I thought that was covered already.” It was useless.

I thought I heard this voice line in the midst of a battle, so I wasn't quite sure I heard him right. Turns out...I did. Junkrat (Chris Parson) never disappoints! xD I think this is my new favorite. ♥
