btw me, @ourladyclaire, and @verjandi went to the liquor store and got our 3 six packs and 2 wines for zero dollars
I never wanna hear shit lamenting how we're always stopped in public because I know everybody.
i’m taking the snow day to watch swan lake, organize a few things in drive and work on some concepts. i feel like my mind rn isn’t sharp enough to get any writing done but i wanna be here because claire vibes. if you wanna shout @ me in im or sk*pe please do so !!
i like how i saw i was followed by a sigyn blog and without even checking the page i knew it was gina. that’s love.
i’m still here. work has just been wild, and my personal life has taken a hit. i’m in good spirits, i just need to focus a lot of things professionally. i treat rp tumblr as a way to socialize and also strengthen my writing pursuits, so i’ll be around in an effort towards fostering personal discipline and consistency. what that means is i want to be here (and on other blogs) to write, develop ideas, and strengthen habits. but i step back when it’s not great for my emotional well-being.
i’m also trying to be more active in pursuing irl things on which i’ve procrastinated: PT, hot air balloon rides, auditions, learning to do things like fencing or krav mega…i’m trying to be my own personal hero. so bear with me.
as always, my askbox is always open and mutuals can ask for my sk*pe or d!scord
Me as a comic book love interest, wagging my finger at the lead male superhero: “Just because you can bench press me doesn’t mean I’m gonna do all the emotional heavy lifting in this relationship.”

I’m so much more interested in heroes who are kind at their core; who didn’t have the world laid at their feet and who didn’t have to lose everything to understand the intrinsic value of life.
Abolish this notion that kindness is boring. That kindness can only play second fiddle to angst, or that assholes are the only ones smart or driven enough to save the world.
like can we talk about how fandom treats latino men? specifically the blatant and unapologetic sexualization of them?
poe dameron. cassian andor. gabriel reyes. jesse mccree. james vega. reyes vidal. raphael santiago. lance mcclain.
(and before you argue that jesse isn’t canonically latino, every single latino jesse fic/post/art comes hand in hand with some transparent “latin lover” bullshit where he sweet talks someone in spanish or uses his ~latin charm~ in some way or another)
and this is specifically about the treatment in lgbt fandom spaces. you guys aren’t immune to perpetuating racist tropes and you do it without any sort of acknowledgement or desire to change. even if there’s been some retrospection into the poorly written bilingual characters in fic recently, yet people continue to write and spread posts about every other racist aspect of the latin lover trope.
making them all promiscuous and overtly sexual? making them all “rough and dirty in bed”? giving them all “dirty mouths” and describing them with “deep, low voices” and talking about their accents using sexual descriptors? these all tie back to racist tropes that contribute to the sexualization of latino men.
it’s not subtle. it’s not “sexy”. it’s tiring and the lack of acknowledgement that it’s happening outside of reblogging a post about it every once in a while is really fucking transparent
