The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.

Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.

Well @dumbey, seems we’re in similar boats

All of the charities are for good causes, but you are able to pick which speaks to you the most for your donation. Since it is for charity, I am being really flexible if there is a specific idea you have in your bid.

Posting here, sign up's are open for the Summer Pluribus Exchange!! For those who've never done an exchange, this is like a secret santa exchange. You'll get someone's prompts and you can choose one of them and write or draw it. If you want to do both prompts you totally can, two prompts are given just to give you options. You won't know whose writing or drawing for you until the reveal date.

Since this is an exchange that means you will be filling someone's prompts as well. Sign-ups will be open till June 7th; I'll sort through and email you the person you will be writing or drawing for. I'll include more rules in the email. And for those writing, you have to write a minimum of 1000 words. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! The due date for all prompts to be filled and submitted will be July 12th.

Physics - probably the nicest just on the grounds of how fast that's gonna be. Like if you're a goner before any of the other sciences can get to you, you probably don't even have time to feel anything.

Biology - the most standard default way of dying. Most of the time it sucks but not badly enough to warrant you its own wikipedia page.

Geology - one of the oldest OG classics. Rock hits Og. Og is gone.

Psychology - slow tigers are chasing you.

Zoology - fast tigers are chasing you.

Sociology - idk me and the rest of the angry mob agree that you had it coming.

Chemistry - this is a hard one to place because there's a lot of variation. But anyhow you're getting undone on a cellular level.

Mathematics - how the fuck did you even do that.

Cosmology - why the fuck did you even do that?
