Every Moment Of Every Day I Am Thinking About This Tiktok

every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok

I'm thinking a lot about the subject of racism and fandom recently because I'm about to publish a fic that's written from the perspective of a character of color and I'm white. I feel a lot of caution around that and I want to explicitly invite any BIPOC readers to let me know how my fic lands with you. Your experiences in particular of it are really important to me. <3 (I'm planning to post in about a week, leaving this here in case any readers look me up after/while reading)

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Main character very much baffled by the fact that, while she's actively doing drama, everybody else in the same show is doing comedy.

One thing that's great about Deadloch is how real everyone looks. Most of the female characters don't seem to wear make-up (sure, the actors probably do because it's TV, but it doesn't look like it) and they're allowed to make weird, real facial expressions instead of looking "perfect", and I think that's what makes them look great.
