one hand spreading your cheeks so he can wedge himself into you, while his foot plants flat on the mattress. a low, sleepy, raspy groan “fuuck.” oozing out of him as he settles himself inside.

when you stir, pushing your leg further into his tummy to keep him close, he’s instantly going for the kiss. hips bucking up in circles as he lazily laps at your tongue, “good morning, baby. kiss?”

You: “That’s great honey” you hum softly, adjusting Jason’s face mask so it fit perfectly.

You pull away to check the fit and giggle at the man before you. Your “scary”, 6’4 boyfriend was currently sitting on the couch with a fuzzy headband and a face mask on after you proclaimed you both needed a self care day.

Imagine all of these things being a possibility every single time you log in to your 'escape'!

To my Black readers: You are VALID! You are not sensitive, not 'overreacting', and you had every right to be hurt by the way you've been treated. These are not isolated events! And if people won't stop being racist, they should continue to feel uncomfortable for being so!

To my nonBlack readers: You are not an ally for NOT doing these things, but for STANDING AND SPEAKING UP when they do.

(So APPARENTLY Tumblr won't let you zoom in on Desktop, but I put the lists in the Image Description! Sorry 😬 i did not know Tumblr doesn't allow zoom in on desktop. It's easier to zoom in on mobile.)

80 examples and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This is more than just reblogging or signal boosting posts or changing our moodboards, we (as white people) have to prove ourselves to be a safe space for our peers and friends here and make it the unsafest space possible for racists and bigots, it's not just something you just get to decide.

It's about recognizing when your own actions could be seen as performative allyship or virtue signaling, don't always rely on other people to call you out and if they do, please don't double down, listen and learn, especially to Black users.

Again this isn't something to just move on from until the next time someone we care about is receiving hate, just because we don't always see it doesn't mean it isn't constantly happening, because it is.

That is the very stark reality of it, that users are receiving anon hate and deleting it for fear of making waves or receiving more hate on top of, we saw it happen yesterday to Kat, Dev and Vetty.

But we don't always see it and that is what we have to come to terms with here.

This is a constant moving wheel that we all have to keep turning because if even one person with hatred in their heart thinks your blog is a safe space to allow for it, the rest will trickle in behind them.

Reading fics will wait, this will not.

Imagine all these being a possibility when you log into your 'escape'

Consider the real world now as it is when you think about this statement. The world as it has been for a very long time for Black people, actually.

fantasy readers: this is fucking awesome. this rocks. youre so good at this man

nonwhite fantasy authors: so the knight is a black woman, and there are no orcs,

EDIT: IJBOL.

Right, because asking whether a reader insert might be assuming a specific physical reaction is obviously the same thing as demanding writers create a perfectly featureless human-shaped void.

We are TIRED of constantly pointing it out for writers like you that "you blush/flush" "turned pink/red" "fingers through my hair" "white knuckles" and so forth aren't universally applicable. That's not being an "emotional snowflake," it's just basic observation. We aren't fucking stupid, you're fucking careless.

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know.
