It's so frustrating not seeing enough black girl representation within the media. Movies, TV shows, and writing. Like black women are very versatile we are not going to like the same things. In TV and movies we don't wanna see black women play the same roles over and over.

I want to see black women play nerds, doctors, scientists, super heros etc. But I guess what's more frustrating to me is with all the different kind of Fandoms it lacks diversity for POC and Black Women.

On writing sites and Apps for some Fandoms it lacks representation and its frustrating to me to find stories that cater to black women or poc in general and tbh I'm sick of it.

When I wanna read fan fiction of something It's either on wattpad, Tumblr, and Archive. And it's like when it comes to these fan fiction books, I'm not saying every character gotta be black or a Person of color because they don't. But I'm all for WOC/Black representation within books, because we need to feel appreciated too. Because other woc/ black women like all the Fandoms I just named. I'm tired of seeing puddles of woc/black women representation within a sea of white women, it's not enough, that's why I write books only for Black and try to write for WOC because it's not enough.

But yeah this was my rant I just wish there was more.

A Breath of Kool Air

Pairings: Steve Harrington x Black! Female! Sinclair! Reader

Summary: You've always been a little closed off, kept to yourself. But after the events of July 4th 1985, you're not sure that you're content being alone anymore. While you would never trust Harrington before, you discover Steve isn't so bad.

Word Count: 6.7k words

Content Warnings: Smoking, swearing, bullying, racism,

A/N: This has some angst in it so I waited until March to post it. Also, the reader is very "I hate everyone except you" and I love it. This fic is very self-indulgent and my love song to Kools Menthols.

You tend to rub people the wrong way. You were loud-spoken and hardly shy. Your brain and mouth were attached by a thin cable, information swimming freely between the two. You weren’t exactly the “softest” person by any means. You had a thick shell and very few ever saw what was underneath it. Growing up in Hawkins, it was a necessity.

You learned this lesson very young, at the age of six. You were at the park with your mother. You had been on the swings when you heard laughter behind you. A group of boys were snickering and trying very hard not to garner any attention.

They shushed each other as you looked at them. You continued to pump your legs, deciding they were no threat to you. Their snickers remained heard, but you paid them no mind. Until you felt something bounce off your head. It was small and light.

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

Hospitals like to hide these policies under a lot of successive links in obscure places, so if you don't see anything right away, keep looking! Get friends to help! Make it a scavenger hunt. A game where you're assassins sent to slit capitalism's throat

“They’re the same height”-“It’s just his hair”- “he’s slouching”- no, you guys are not thinking silly enough. There’s obviously better explanation.
