Black Love in Film and TV

*none of the gifs are mine* 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Let Black female characters be soft Let Black female characters be vulnerable. Let Black female character be pampered. Let Black female characters be cared for. Let Black female characters be loved. Let Black female characters be loved OUT LOUD

Let Black female characters be appreciated,

Oh for fuck’s sake, people calling out racist writing in fanfic isn’t “censorship”. I say this as a fic writer but some of you need to get off your high fucking horse.

Truly some of the most irritating culture has sprung up around fanwork and fanfic in specific like… no, making something for free does not in fact make it sacrosanct or immune to criticism! Your right to “do whatever you want forever” or say “fandom is for fun” stops the second you’re being bigoted and making fan spaces unsafe for marginalized people!

"fandom is for fun" except for poc who have to deal with rampant racism and white people unable to acknowledge let alone take accountability for their racism

Barbara Howard/Melissa Schemmenti | WIP | Political AU | Updates first Monday of every month

Melissa trails after her as Ava leads the way to Barbara’s office, giving a narrated tour of the suite of offices. “There’s the coffee machine, and it’s broken more often than not, so I recommend you just buy it somewhere else. Restrooms, Janine Teagues’ (Senator’s assistant, you’ll meet her) office, my office, Joshua—” “JACOB! For the last time, Ava, my name is JACOB!” “—Hill’s office, the speech writer. And this…” Ava pushes open the office door just in time to hear Barbara ask the recording technician “Is the mic still hot?” At the shake of his head in the negative, she picks up a stress ball from her desk and flings it against the wall. “ Asshole!” “And this is Senator Barbara Howard,” Ava mutters. She straightens and clicks her tongue. “Barb! Language.”
