ok i really need to get this out

i feel as though writers are getting less and less inclusive. now before you come at me let me explain. tonight i was scrolling through, reading a healthy dose of spencer reid x reader and steve rogers x reader when i noticed it.

while many authors put x reader and make no specific description of the reader (ex. latina!reader ; plus sized! reader ;black! reader) they describe the reader in a way that almost ruins the feeling.

adding a physical description in a normal x reader can make people of different gender, race etc. feel as though they are less than.

i am a cisgender female with blonde hair and blue eyes, but i have felt like this before. while others such as poc experience it more, even the slight mention of the reader having brown hair can ruin the illusion of being in the story for me. AND ITS WORSE FOR THOSE MINORITIES!

i understand that the writer might have a vision of the reader and how they fit into the story, but saying the reader has “pale skin” or “blue eyes” can make people who don’t have those physical traits feel as though they are not welcomed to imagine themselves in that story.

x readers are meant to be inclusive. if you do this, make it an oc not an x reader.

writers (including myself) need to think of the ACTUAL readers and not what we think the reader look like.

Three Years

Summary: (Based off a prompt given to me by @inlovewith3 )

Can you do an imagine with Conrad where he and the reader are ex lovers and the reader left town with no word now she’s back in town after like 3 years as a surgeon. They run into each other and they talk

Pairing: (Conrad/(y/n)) , (Friendship - Nic/(y/n))

Warnings: Does a Broken Heart count? Angst, Generalized stress and anxiety, elevators? (I have a thing against them)

Word count: 1702

A/N: Ok, so I am terrible with romance and stuff but I would say this is a … start? Haha, either way, I am under the impression that if the woman that I loved left me abruptly like the way you are about to read about, I would probably be pretty pissed. So I kinda channeled that mindset while writing this. That being said, I hope you guys enjoy and feel free to tell me you hate it. XD
