Every Time A Black Writer On Here Gets A Message Asking Them (or Really Demanding Them) To Write White

every time a black writer on here gets a message asking them (or really demanding them) to write white readers, i just think about that interview toni morrison did that one time where the interviewer asked if she’ll ever write about white people in a substantial way and the way she just said to them “you can’t even begin to understand the racism of that question” or something along those lines. fandom in general, and fic in particular, has alienated black, and poc overall, readers since day one and for all the posts about diversity in fanfic that circulate on here, i never see anons holding their faves who write white readers accountable for more diversity. instead, you accost black writers making a space for themselves to make room for you. you who can suspend all disbelief to read about readers who are assassins and mutants, but can’t change or ignore features in a poc reader fic so you don’t feel “uncomfortable” (which, by the way, is an issue in and of itself). black people are allowed to tell stories that include us explicitly. full stop. and no one is asking you to read those stories if you don’t want to. coming into black/poc writers’ spaces to tell them they can’t include themselves in the fanfic world is racist point blank and you will never have any legs to stand on in that argument. so just… shut up. stay on blogs that cater to you and leave us alone lmaooo

Valentine’s Day Giveaway

Hellooo :)

Since the commercial day of love is almost upon us, and last year I had so much fun doing drabbles, I thought to do something different for this year! So… I’d like to do a little fic giveaway!

How It Works:

All you have to do is fill out this form with the info necessary and you’re immediately in the running to be chosen as one of the two winners of the giveaway. I’m only doing two winners (two fics/requests) because ya girl works full time and she’s slowly getting the handle of managing her time and inspiration.

Rules:

Please be following me.

You MUST be 18+. I will check the winners’ blogs for ages. If ages aren’t listed, you won’t be considered for the winning spots, even if you do win.

You MUST be an active blog. What I mean by that is no “empty” blogs with the little tumblr icons and untitled sections.

At the moment, since they’re my strong suit, I’ll be able to fulfill requests for Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Andy Barber, and Ransom Drysdale. Can also be mixed and matched with two characters!

Requests can be any genre.

Requests can range from drabbles to one shots, but no series!

For smut requests, I don’t write the following: DD/lg (but I do write daddy kink!), underage characters, dark!fic (noncon, kidnapping, stalker tropes, etc), incest, anything involving bodily fluids except cum/spit… I think that’s all. Anything else you’re not sure of, just ask!

Winners will be chosen/posted on Sunday, February 14th. I will also contact them privately to work out any details regarding their request. Fics will be posted on Sunday, February 21st and Sunday, February 28th.

THE GOOGLE FORM WILL BE ACCEPTING ENTRIES UNTIL SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH!

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! Anon will be turned on until Sunday.

Can’t wait to see what y’all have in mind!💛

New Mature Content Warning Overlay (And How to Get Rid of It)

More fun community label "features"! Unlike the new mandatory label for #NSFW, this one is a bigger deal to me because it affects my entire blog and it can't be avoided by just using a different tag.

Apparently on custom blog layouts, if you happen to post or reblog even a SINGLE post that's been flagged with the mature content community label, a full-page warning overlay will appear blurring out your entire blog that must be manually clicked through every single time the page is refreshed. At first I thought this was just a bug due to my older layout but I've come to realize it's not. It's a feature (as confirmed by this recent changes post) that affects all custom themes. The formatting will vary based on your own theme but here's what it looks like on my blog:

New Mature Content Warning Overlay (And How To Get Rid Of It)

I don't know about you but I find this is stupid and annoying. If it could be dismissed once and never seen again that might be one thing, but that's not the case. The vast majority of my blog is not "mature" enough to warrant such an aggressive and invasive warning. I also think pop-ups are obnoxious in general and I'll be damned if tumblr's going to force me to have one on MY blog.

After some desperate googling for a known workaround and being unable to find even a single mention of it, I decided to take on the challenge myself. I'm not a theme coder, so apologies if there's a better way to do this, but luckily it only took me like 10 minutes to figure out a simple fix, which I'm now sharing with anyone else who may want it:

.community-label-cover__wrapper {display: none}

Just copypaste that somewhere in your CSS and goodbye pop-up!

If you're not sure how to access your theme code, check out this help article. You can also add the code via the Advanced Options menu, which is actually even better (if you can get it to work, it depends on how your theme was coded), because it will then automatically be reapplied to a lot of themes without having to remember to manually add it every time if you change your theme in the future.

Obviously this will only remove it from your own blog for anyone who may visit it. If you never want to see this warning again on other people's blogs you can also add this custom filter to your ad block:

tumblr.com##.community-label-cover__wrapper

Unfortunately I do not have an easy tutorial on hand for this one as the method will depend on your specific ad block app or extension.

Some additional notes:

After adding the theme code and saving the changes, give it a minute to update as it sometimes takes a little while for the page to refresh.

The warning overlay only seems to appear if a "mature" post is on the FIRST page of your blog, which is still annoying and makes the whole thing even more pointless and stupid because what if someone visits any other page of your blog, and oh no, happens to see "mature" content they weren't warned about?!

The warning also appears on direct links to "mature" posts.

This hack has NOTHING to do with entire blogs that have been flagged as NSFW. It only works for non-flagged blogs with custom themes that happen to have individual "mature" posts.
