my character design tips:

always give characters brown eyes, unless you can give them pink eyes then do that

freckles are always a yes

big noses 👍

crooked teeth 👍👍

curly hair 👍👍👍

androgyny 👍👍👍👍

give your designated pretty/hot characters a facial difference

make more girl characters

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

[key-pair]

a rough timeline of events (from memory, there may be inaccuracies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

the British tabloid press remains, and will always be, fucking evil

Can we as a fandom acknowledge the extreme double-standard that many view the kanej “I will have you without armor” quote with?

For the most part, Kaz gets to be as emotionally unavailable, cruel, and violent as he wants, and is celebrated for it. Many of his most heinous actions are taken in a very lighthearted way, joked about, and justified in every manner. Hell, the scene where he straight up dehumanizes Inej and refers to her as an investment, something to be owned, is one of the most beloved quotes in the series!

But Inej has one (count em, ONE) moment of frustration, where she asks Kaz to just TRY to put in an equal amount of thought and effort into their relationship that she does, where she says something that could be perceived as a bit hypocritical, which she later acknowledges, and fans of the series treat her like a villain for it. Like she’s a manipulative and abusive partner who is forcing Kaz into physical intimacy, never mind that she explicitly disproves this about one page after this scene.

I see this trend happening a lot in fandom, where female characters are expected to be overly mature and endlessly understanding, putting in 10x the emotional labor into a relationship compared to their male partner, who is lauded as a perfect boyfriend just for existing. And I’m sure this is compounded by the fact that Inej is a woman of color, and is therefore held to a much higher standard of moral purity compared to the rest of the cast.

Like, I’m “sorry” the scary woman of color said something a bit inconsiderate to your precious white boy, but guess what? Inej and Kaz are BOTH heavily traumatized teenagers with communication issues trying to navigate their romantic feelings towards each other, and to forgive one of them for their flaws while villainizing the other just shows your deeply engrained misogynistic and racist beliefs.

Okay I'm calling on all moots for help.

I'm writing this SOC Chatfic (writing, as in, I found a draft 500 words long from like 18 months ago) where Jordie is alive and knows the Crows, but then dies halfway through the story.

I've wanted to try my hand at using workskins for way too long and it seems like a perfect opportunity to get somewhere. Now I just need IDEAS. Like, what kind of shenanigans would someone like to see from modern-era university students Crows?

[rrrrunk]

sorry but look how silly drunk gaang is

[angst-is-a-genre]

okay so if i hypothetically were to write a crows at the beach fic would anyone hypothetically read it?? also it's hypothetically set in noyvi zem when they all go visit colm

and if hypothetically my hcs were so far hypothetically

inej befriends the seagulls: "crows are their cousins!" kaz thinks this is ridiculous because, no, crows and seagulls are not cousins and crows are much superior in his view

wylan and jesper walk along the beach and wylan keeps pointing out animals by there scientific names: "ooh look a Tripedalia cystophora!" jesper doesnt know what the hell is happening but he loves his boyfriend

nina spends most of her time sunbathing but at one point matthias finds some tubes and they go in together but come back out pretty quickly because nina is cold (the cold doesn't bother matthias at all because he's used to fjerda)

jesper dives into the water right off the bat but then retreats back to where wylan is sitting under an umbrella because he gets bored super easily and just walks around wylan and they talk until wylan decides to finally get in the water

wylan wears a swim shirt because his ginger ass will get sunburnt (hey dont hate me i speak from experience)

inej has convinced kaz to forgo his collar and suspenders (begrudgingly) and instead he wears a t shirt and cargo pants plus gloves ofc (inej CANNOT convince him to get in the water sadly)

inej and nina build sand castles and jesper accidentally crushes it and they make him rebuild it (wylan thinks this is the FUNNIEST thing but helps anyway and does most of the work)

matthias and kaz at some point end up being the only two not building sand castles and sit in brooding silence while watching their girlfriends. the silence isn't exactly uncomfortable though.

anyway

these are only some of my hypothetical ideas
