6 Tips On Writing An Actually Inclusive Reader Insert:

This is just a vent/rant post so if you wanna skip you can.

To All writers and readers

Can people who write stories PLEASE PLEASE stop saying it's _____ x reader then in the middle of me reading it I see a description that could never be me. I understand you don't know what all your readers look like but at that point it isn't an x reader it's x oc and I'm sure the writing is still great but I don't have straight hair, I'm not 4'11 or 5'7, I don't have freckles, I don't have beautiful green eyes, and not everyone is curvy. Nothing is wrong with these traits they are all beautiful traits but they aren't all readers it would be easier if you put oc at the top or something. It makes me feel a little sad cause it makes me think that the comfort characters or the character/person I'm reading won't want me cause everytime I see reader I see the description of someone that doesn't even look anywhere close to me. It's like hey it's a y/n story but she/he/they look how I want them to look.

And I know it's their story but a warning at the top would be nice and I'm sure it's really hard to write some of this stuff believe me I've literally tried. Kudos to those who actually still write and to those who write these types of stories. I'm sorry if this seems like a really harsh bash just please put a warning or something at the top that says "It's a y/n/ reader story but it includes my own description of the reader" yk what I mean

Idk if it's only me and if it is sorry for the long rant.(I also don't know how to put the keep reading thingy)

I love you bitches mwah

reblog to send your mutuals a hug. maybe just the thought is enough to cheer them up 🥺

Nah cause this I literally can't turn red

the slasher community on here & ao3 needs to be more inclusive towards black people because tell me why tf i keep seeing “your face turned red” “he carded his fingers through your silky hair” cuz no tf he didn’t 😂 literally almost every fic i’ve read had a variation of that face turning red line, it’s so hard to ignore when it’s constantly happening & none of you give a fuck about your black readers enough to care

Very much so I love seeing @horror-obsessed on my page

The person I reblogged this from is someone I enjoy seeing on my dashboard.

so if you've been here on my page, you will have noticed i dropped off the face of the earth. despite being fully vaccinated i have contracted covid 3 times, this has caused me to have damage to my lungs and heart, all of which i will need surgery for.

i am a college student who is raising five kids that are not mine due to family circumstances. the place i work has been temporarily closed because of a covid outbreak so i have 0 income at the moment.

i have to pay my own medical bills that insurance won't cover, college, and put food on the table every single night regardless of my physical or mental health.

this is not only my coming back on here post but i am reaching out to my friends here on tumblr and my gang.

the link below is something i have opened hopefully to bring in some extra cash so that i will not be in severe amounts of debt. DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS! I WILL NOT POST ABOUT THIS AGAIN. you are welcome to stay in the gang as i will continue to post on this blog frequently, this is not me starting something new and abandoning this. the only reason this is not a gofundme is because i feel wrong getting donations without giving someone something in exchange.

thank you <3

just a warning for any mcu writers who may have these two delightful people following them— you should promptly block them as they are not only plagiarisers, but bare faced liars when called out claiming they “didn’t steal anything” (from @metalbuckaroo and @bubblebuckys respectively) and the first troglodyte has been responding to asks with extreme homophobic slurs so on top of being a thief they’re a disgusting piece of shit too

Stay safe everyone

If you're gonna horny write for moon knight or literally any writting of moon knight, consider that most systems...are gonna feel unsafe around you if you write:

Where a y/n or ship has it to where the front switches in the middle of sex, without exclusively before hand laying out that the whole system is dating them and is consenting; if not that's assault and shows how you don't believe in alter individuality or rights! You're fucking vile!

Respect that moon knight is a system and not ignore it or only use it for a joke or pun in your fic! Surprise! It affects everyone in the system and is serious!

IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO HOW SYSTEMS FEEL ABOUT WHAT YOU MADE. YOUR SEXUAL GRATIFICATION OF OBSESSING OVER MOON KNIGHT WILL NEVER BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN RESPECT FOR SYSTEMS!!!!

If you see this out in the wild or in fics, call out the author. Have them rewrite or delete it. Do not turn a blind eye even if you're not a system either.
