Dearie/Cae

every day should be sunday 🎼

remember that your f/o loves you and your skin and hair just the way they are !! whether you choose to wear a wig, whatever protective hairstyle you do or do not decide to wear, whether you’re light-skin or dark-skin, your f/o couldn’t love you more! they think you look beautiful in your silk cap or durag 🩵

they wouldn’t love you more if you were lighter, nor do they wish you were! they think you’re divine the way you are 🩵

they wouldn’t love you more with straight hair! they love your natural hair texture no matter what it is! they love to help you with your hair care, if you’d like, and help you figure out whatever keeps your hair moisturised and healthy 🩵

they would learn about your specific culture in any way they could and engage with it in every way you’d like them to.

As your resident black self shipper, here's some stuff to remember this day:

Stop using simp as a description for yourself and you faves.

Stop fetishizing your black and brown faves (stop making them hypersexual and objectified and angry all the time.)

Either write more black and brown traits into your reader inserts OR stop writing EXCLUSIVELY white traits onto your reader inserts (Or do both. Both is good.)

Artists! Erasing your faves black traits (Shrinking their nose, straightening their hair, lightening their skin) is racist !

And most importantly: Support your local black and brown self shippers.

ALL of your black and brown self shippers in the community! Wlw, mlm, t4t, disabled, and so much more!

But that's all from me! Have a great day!
