Litg Fandom - Tumblr Posts
Thank you for all the effort you put into it! It's truly lovely and had me smiling all day.
I was not "white passing" as a kid (I had lovely brownish skin) but because I've spent most of my adulthood indoors in front of a computer, I'm a lot lighter than I was back then and most white people assume I'm white, despite my hair telling a different story 😄So it's weird. I've been both. But I definitely ache to see myself and other WOC represented.
When I started writing fanfic, my approach was that I only wanted to write brown/black heroines. I didn't see myself repped in my fandom, and there was a lot of icky attitudes about race within it. At the time, nearly every fic heroine was white, and there were a lot of white fans gushing over having "exotic" mixed-race babies with black or mixed male characters. It was pretty gross and dehumanizing. Reminded me of that episode of Ab Fab where Eddie went crazy to find out her grandbaby was gonna be mixed race. "A mixed-race baby is the finest accessory anyone in my position could ever have, sweetheart! Oh, my God, it's the must-have of the season! It's the CHANEL of babies!" So I only write black or brown original characters for the fandom. Complicated women with real problems and lives. Some nice, some not so nice. But all as three-dimensional as I can write them. And I've been blown away by the amount of readers who commented on it and how happy it made them to be seen. It turned out, there are plenty of people of color in the fandom who'd been feeling like they didn't belong. One of my greatest joys is showing them that they DO belong. And showing them reminds me that I do as well.

I cannot. handle. this. Gorgeous.
Also, kudos on giving his hair such perfect texture. Dunno if you drew it or modified something that already existed, but either way, I'm impressed. I've seen a lot of artists do Bobby dirty because they don't know how to draw locs or even understand the hair texture of people of color and they don't really bother trying. I'm always impressed by you, but even more so with how absolutely beautiful this is.
