#romantisism
(note: I am a white american girl with C cups, blue eyes, and a lifetime of privilege, especially when it comes to seeing myself represented. An apology in advance if I’m overstepping in any way, shape, or form!)
isn’t it sketchy how white characters get to be described as having sharp jaws, piercing eyes, straight noses, full cheeks, having an innocent glow, etc, and the black characters are described as being black. the asian characters are described as being asian. like ???
“X was a tall girl with long blonde hair that fell perfectly down her shoulders, only a few shades lighter than the sun. A permanent blush adorned her cheeks, but her cheekbones stood out against her otherwise childlike features with such womanly grace.”
But you never really see east asian characters being described as having deep-set, piercing eyes that hold your gaze and never let go. You always see narrow/almond eyes, which doesn’t cover all of asia, which is humongous and literally covers so many different ethnicities, and therefore many different eye shapes. Not to mention, the description usually stops at the eyes. I want to read about their warm-toned skin and perfectly sculpted lips. I want to read about umber skin and long, handsome face and their aquiline nose, altogether making them look more like a statue than a person of flesh and blood. I want to read about black characters as more than just a “dark woman” and maybe a passive hair descriptor. What about her large doe eyes and inviting smile? Why do they always have to be the sassy black friend (edit: I do understand all the cultural and historical ties to that stereotype but ??) AND WHY IS THEIR SKIN ALWAYS COMPARED TO FOOD? Maybe this isn’t a problem and I’m reaching here, but it rubs me the wrong way bro.
So yeah I’d like to romanticise (BUT NOT FETISHISE, THERE’S A DIFFERENCE) non-european shit for once, including in the dark academia world because we all know the europeans were late to the party and got all their knowledge from the arabs, the indians–pretty much everyone else.
Also, here’s this wonderful thing I found about Indian culture and dark academia.
“ What’s the best thing in your life u ever thought of ” he asked while rubbing his eyes now sleepy…
“Your existence ” he whispered and smile looking at the face on the pillow , the person who was just confessed is fast asleep….
Whts your favorite genre?
Others: romance , fantasy, mystery…
Me: unrequited love , forbidden romance, unexpected love, paranormal romance……..
English textbook chapter reading….
Others: this chapter was great on values of not underestimating a person…
Me: how it would be if the main characters fell in love after all the fights, differences and afterwards her bestfriend also fell for her and it grew into a love triangle…
I always tend to do this with the chapter i read , atleast it made the chapters more fun to read…..
I read Richard Siken once and was never same again

no, YOU write for the awards and prizes, I write for the edgy dark academia enthusiasts to post my proses on Tumblr and make people yearn
sometimes i hate myself for caring too much for people and not caring enough for myself like if I find that a friend/family member is having a bad day then i will skim through my funny meme collection to make them laugh, make a playlist, talk to them for hours and make sure they feel loved i will try my best to convince them that their sadness is not lonely but when i get in my mood and want to disappear, i let myself succumb to that deep black hole i don’t hug myself or try to be there for me and i hate how i am more worried about other than myself i hate how i am there for everyone except for myself
