Fanfic Writter - Tumblr Posts
Honestly it’s super refreshing to see writers write from like a black girls POV or at least a dark skinned girls one... I’ve seen soooo many fics (esp social media ones with pictures of the reader) where the reader is a super pale skinny East Asian girl but with giant eyes and red lips... like I’m Chinese but damn it’s even hard for me to relate to that. What made me sad was that the writer of one of those fics was black... I applaud you because you’re one of the first in the bts tumblr space to do that, and soon enough there’ll be so many more 💕💕💕
Hiii love !!
First of, I sincerely thank you so so much for sending me this very kind and encouraging message, I’m so so proud that you loved my fic this much to message me 🥺
Second of, I’m extremely happy that you could relate to it, even if it’s just a little bit. Inclusivity has always been a problem and one of the main reasons I started this blog !! I’ve always loved reading stories, but I’ve grown tired of the blatant lack of diversity of the [y/n] reader, and seeing ‘pale porcelain milky skin’ to describe them every time.
It’s sad considering ARMYs is certainly one of the most diverse fandom because of BTS’s international fame, so having stories centered around + quatered to white/fair skin readers is not representative at all and unfair.
Everyone deserves to have fun reading these stories and relate to them in a way !
If you ever thought of writing stories as a POC person for your POC peers, and never published anything because you feel scared or think that nobody’s gonna read you ; please do. You’re very much needed and we will support your creativity and imagination !! And you deserve to create + consume content that is made for you !
😼👍🏾✨
I completely get your point and you should say it !
But also, I feel like adding ‘x black reader’ to our fics makes it way easier for us to find content that caters to us.
Because, like this ‘bts x black reader’ tag, it really help us go straight to what we want and what is made FOR us ; instead of having to go through hundred of fics trying to find the one with the lesser ‘white porcelain skin’ description scattered all over the story and project ourselves onto it when it’s clearly not made for us.
Yes we should NOT have to put this much effort, but it’s necessary that we make it easier for ourselves to access and enjoy the content made by us for us that we deserve.
i don't usually say my own shit here but food for thought:
I personally feel like it's excessive (hear me out) to have to put "x black!reader" or "x desi!reader" in all of our titles ya know? it's lika lil' setting we have to select, where on the top of that list is the default y/n, a white chick with long silky hair and ion like that. because seriously, notice how all fics that have a white reader, who's written in such a way that she's not neutral at all, are simply titled " x reader". maybe i'm just sensitive, but to me it seems like an indirect implication that all of us should look like what they're describing. or to rephrase, only people who are skinny and white should be imagined in such scenarios. and this is not to attack those who write like that typa stuff. i'm just saying that if y'all ain't putting "x white!reader" in your titles then pocs shouldn't have to as well... (jesus christ i sound mad but i'm just letting my brain cells take the mic here)
goodnight
