I know it sounds fake but you really do have a lot of silent lovers on this planet who look at you and wish they had your smile or your hair color or your humor or your intellect or your intentions or your heart, your manners, your eyes, your ease, even just you. People who are too shy to tell you what they admire about you or what they wish for you or who they see themselves becoming bc of you & they’re too shy to tell you. even tho it isn’t verbalized, the universe has still heard and the universe has loved you for helping out on its creations. You’re that person. You’re you.

This has been a long time coming, but I’m so happy to finally be able to share a malec fic I have been working on since november. Stupid, crazy me decided to take on the nanohunters challenge - where a group of shadowhunters fic writers tried to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I’ve attempted the general nanowrimo challenge in the past, but failed horrendously. This year was different, however, as I was part of this amazing, huge community of other fic writers, all with brilliant ideas and great passion for their work (even though some days were very hard). They really helped push me through, and now I’m at the stage where I feel comfortable enough to post my work to AO3:

[our] love needs no translation

5 times Alec tells Magnus he loves him + the 1 time he didn’t need words to say it.

(or, I found a list of ‘untranslatable’ words and had to write a fic about it)

I’ll also leave a link here to the nanohunters fic collection, because all the other writers deserve your wonderful attention. It’ll also give you loads more fics to read during this horribly long hiatus!

p.s. shoutout to my wonderful beta @alecslittlesnores for being the best and getting my ass to actually post this fic!

edit: anu just become the best beta ever and made me a wonderful banner!

Lemonade was not made for me, either. As a Singaporean Chinese woman, I would be lying if I said I was familiar with the complex, myriad ways Beyoncé explores black female personhood, sexuality, and spirituality in the film. But as a non-American, non-white woman, what I am familiar with is appreciating art that is not and will never be made with me in mind. This is a process that white people are now struggling with more publicly than ever. It seems to me that much of the pain in this process comes from entitlement, which often stems from ignorance. I wonder: Do white people in the Western world understand just how much of global popular culture is tailored to their tastes and their histories? Do white people in the Western world know that, for non-white people who wish to participate in and discuss global popular culture, being well-versed in white cultural and musical history is almost compulsory? Do white people in the Western world know how laughable it is that they feel excluded just because a popular work of art dares to be less culturally legible to them?
