#dark eyes

1. Ofärgat Ronja Rövardotter-hår.

2. Tadaaa, färgat Ronja Rövardotter-hår i ametist-ton. Valde inte det svartaste svarta, korpsvart, vantablack men till hösten tänker jag mig det som en fin kontrast. Stor planer, ni hör va. Fräknar och ögonfransarna i filter nr 2 tänkte jag testa att göra verklighet utav. Borde man även testa en gardin-lugg? Är verkligen inte för det där med att styla hår så man vill inte måla in sig i ett hörn.

”Tuffa” beslut. Sagt sarkastiskt. Beslut kan man återkomma till på söndag. Vet inte vad jag ska tycka om Sveriges beslut i NATO-frågan, även fast det känns högst troligt. Men inget är sagt just i detta nu. Invasion ifrån ryssarna har dock simulerats i ett SVT-program innan Ryssland startade kriget i Ukraina. Och dom svar som gavs var inte tydliga nog. Snarare märker man att det finns ingen tydlighet. Den ena säger si den andra så. Si säger sammanfattande att man kan ge upp i kriget typ och den andra (vilket kommer ifrån militären och ÄR den enda sanningen) om att alla uppgifter om att Sverige ger upp ska ses som falska. Vi kommer aldrig att ge upp.

Nä, ska inte fastna med tankarna nu, så lätt hänt en regnig kväll. Måste sova och dagen har varit lång. Längre än lidandet i Passion Of The Christ. Min telefon ville skriva Christian haha. Godnatt

life on fire.

can’t pick a filter :/

There’s this idea in femslash that “exotic” features are the domain of “interesting” white women who are supposed to stand out of a group of “traditionally white” characters.  At the most everyone is a “tan”, but she’s going to have almond eyes, or a certain build, or a darker skin tone that makes her different (but not enough for them to admit she’s probably not white).  

They use terms that they know exclude many WoC (they usually assume we can’t be blond, brunette, or redhead…and the “black” hair they think we have doesn’t get the poetic treatment that the “jet black hair” characters they decide are white get).  So they can have their “blond + brunette, light vs. “dark”, feminine vs. masculine” without having to deal with any real nuance.  

I’m tired of fiction that treats WoC poorly, especially when its femslash.  We’re women too, but you wouldn’t know it from how overwhelming white femslash circles can be.  Like, why is it that people who can find any justification to pair two white women (who often hate each other) suddenly can’t figure out what to do if one of those women becomes black?  Suddenly writing her features out leaves a bad taste in their mouth and the relationship just isn’t viable anymore. But they don’t want to admit this is because they’re writing for a certain gaze.  They’re too invested in seeing themselves as morally superior to sexists who only write for the male gaze that they fail to address how their writing reflects the white gaze in very problematic ways that wind up erasing (and/or fetishizing) a lot of women.  I HATE that.  

I swear, if I find another femslash story where the brunette has my skin tone and my features but is written as white I’m going to flip.  Don’t erase me but then use my features so that a white character can “contrast” with their significant other in a way that allows you to still feel comfortable.  I’ve had enough of that crap used against me offline in LGBTQ circles, I don’t want to deal with it in my fantasy or my sci-fi or any of the fanworks that derive from it. 

Queer women DO exist, and no we aren’t all a part of cisgender, pale skinned, “traditionally white blond” and “exotically white” brunette combinations.  Write what you want, and yeah, part of this can be blamed on the lack of WoC in these shows and movies (especially in regards to Black, Indigenous, and Asian women, though this can be applied to WoC as a whole).  But fanfic (or even original fiction) doesn’t require you to accept the same limitations that the source material has, you CHOOSE to write things this way, and its your responsibility to unpack that if you want to fix it.
