Black Characters and Blushing
entropyalarm said: When describing embarrassment, blushing is typically used as an indicator. I’m white, but I recognize that darker skin tones shouldn’t show blush the same way as lighter tones. My friend, with medium skin, told me it only shows in her nose and ears, felt more as intense heat radiating from her cheeks than a visible color change. What is your insight on handling blushing? I feel this is especially important for proper portrayal of PoCs in romantic situations.
Anonymous said: You’ve written some great advice for describing black characters, but I was wondering whether you have any advice for describing a black character blushing? I have face blindness, so I’m having a lot of trouble with this. (otherwise I could just look up pictures and describe those) So sorry to bother you!
I’m glad you’ve asked. It bothers me how often I’ve heard “Black people don’t blush” which only seems to be another way to dehumanize Black people (and defeminize Black women) for not possessing this base human reaction, even if it’s not always notably visible.
Everybody blushes. Or rather, can blush. It’s the physical act of blood rushing to the face, ears, and other areas of the body; how visible the output doesn’t dictate whether one blushes or not.
While fairness has its part, I think blushing and how visible it is has a lot to do with the individual (some folks have better blood flow) + the undertones within their skin.
I’m going to steal my undertones chart from the Skin Tone Guide here:
As shown above cool skin colors have undertones that mostly fall under red/pink shades.
I’ve seen dark cool-skinned people with naturally rosy cheeks. I can only imagine when they blush, those reddish undertones are emphasized or brightened.
On the other hand, warm skin is usually in the golden, orange spectrum. Not so much reds. Still that doesn’t mean red coloring doesn’t appear on dark warm skin tones.
I have warm medium skin with golden orange undertones, and I definitely get flushed from extrinsic factors, such as if I exercise hard (I turn a berry-red coloring), plus the winter cold pinkens my nose like Rudolph.
I’ve also had friends call me out on blushing, but I can’t tell you exactly how that looks for I’ve never checked a mirror at the time, though I imagine it’s like a slight tinting or an enrichment of the undertones in the skin, brightening them, paired with a “coral to dark red” reddening.
In general, though, it can be redundant to constantly refer to blushing to show shyness or embarrassment with characters of any skin tone. It seems blushing is one of those things that happen more often in stories than daily life. Kinda like green eyes.
For variety, also consider these indicators:
~Pages from the Emotion Thesaurus, seriously every writer should buy this book 10/10 would recommend.~
To reiterate; dark (cool) skin with red/pink undertones might show blushing more notably than warm skin, as an enhancement of those reddish undertones.
Dark (warm) skin without red undertones, more “richening” of the undertones with pink to dark reddish coloring as an influence, likely depending on how harshly they’re blushing.
In any case; if you’re describing the blushing from the character’s perspective, it makes more sense to focus on heat and sensation.
Followers, any personal experiences or thoughts?

— FLUFF HEADCANONS
featuring: izuku midoriya, katsuki bakugo, shoto todoroki
content: food mention, insecurity mentions :’)
izuku who freezes when your fingers wind idly around the curling locks of his hair, not even paying attention to the way it makes his breath catch in his throat, hoping you don't feel him nudge back into it quietly.
izuku who sits with you when you're alone at lunch because he knows all too well what that's like.
izuku who slips you some of his older, less valuable all-might merch to try and cheer you up, leaving them in strange hiding places like poking out of your desk drawer or propped in the soles of your shoes.
izuku who writes your birthday in bold and circles it three times so he can start planning around it months in advance, because his schedule, as busy as it is, will never be too full for you.
izuku who puts his head in his hands when you call him your pretty boy and wind your arms around his waist.
izuku who has to look away so you won't see the tears welling in his eyes when you trace the scars that worm beneath the skin of his hands and wrists, raised and so ugly to him but so beautiful to you as you plant them with tender kisses, light as blossom petals carried on a summer breeze.
izuku who walks you through class material until you understand it with the softest, most patient smile on his face.
izuku who can't argue with you without crying because all he wants is to make you as happy as he can.
izuku who will happily sit and listen for hours when you talk about your interest, maybe even taking notes, and keeps spacing out because that excited glint in your eye is so familiar to him.
izuku who loves your stretch marks or cellulite or acne scars, who kisses them with something like reverence - every inch of your skin something almost holy to him.
katsuki who pretends not to care about your birthday but leaves something at your door, knocks, and bolts once everyone's gone to sleep, and when he sees you wearing it the next day he'll allow himself a tiny, smug smile.
katsuki who "accidentally" makes extra food that he slides across the counter for you to tea.
katsuki who realises he has feelings for you when you lean in to pluck a stray thread off his blazer and he freezes and shoves you off him so hard you topple over.
katsuki who doesn't push you off when you cling to him.
katsuki who hates holding your hand because his are so rough and callused and not used to touch without intent.
katsuki who flinches from kisses because he's uncomfortably, angrily aware of his inexperience.
katsuki who invites himself round when you're sad to tell you you're playing smash together.
katsuki who tries to cheer you up but furiously denies that's what he's doing if asked.
katsuki who tugs you over to him when you're doing paired work in class without even asking and smiles when you stick with him when you're not looking.
katsuki who gets used to touch eventually and now must have an arm over you at all times.
katsuki who loves the plush flesh of your body and runs his hands over the plump of it, the skin so comforting to him.
katsuki who lets you pin his hair back and put facemasks on him.
katsuki who calls you at 2am when the nightmares block his throat and he's shaking, and katsuki who falls asleep with his phone on his chest whilst your sleepy voice drifts quietly out of the speakers.
shoto who texts you good morning and good night every day like clockwork. shoto who likes to take you on expensive, decadent dates even if you protest because the look of awe on your face makes him feel something warm and sweet and indescribable.
shoto who commits your favourite foods to memory and cooks them of his own volition if you tell him you're feeling down.
shoto who's stiff to touch at first.
shoto who has to learn that touch can be gentle, can be tender, can come without catch or condition.
shoto who shudders when your hands card through his hair and asks you quietly if you'd keep doing that, please.
shoto who calls you 'love' in the morning, his voice muffled and soft and sleepy. shoto who doesn't understand why he's blinking back tears when you run your thumb so gently over the angry edge of his scar.
shoto who joins you if you want to paint your nails or apply a charcoal scrub mask and asks a dozen questions about everything.
shoto who unabashedly enjoys romantic comedies and doesn't understand why it's something to be embarrassed about when mineta tries to poke fun at him for it.
shoto who coldly defends anything you're passionate about from anybody, even if he himself doesn't fully understand it.
shoto who enjoys being held, so safe and warm in your arms with your chin on his head.
shoto who tries to tell you to stop biting your nails or lips but buys you an endless supply of chapstick anyway.
shoto who doesn't let you meet his parents.
shoto who pulls you to bed if you're staying up to late, kissing your brow and tucking you in firmly so you can get your rest.

“moonlight muse” lacheri’s 1k collab event
hi everyone! first of all, thank you guys so very much for allowing me to (ALMOST) reach those milestone. I’m releasing this a bit early (I’m REAL close to 1k), but I’m so impatient and this has been sitting in my drafts for a MINUTE. I am so very grateful to every single one of you that’s supported me and my writing — it’s an honor. special thanks to @onwiings and @ryukatters for helping me come up with ideas for this event! you guys are the best and I am so very thankful for everything you guys do. <3
prompt
late nights bleeding into early mornings. soul searching at the bottom of a bottle at the local dive. finding a savior in a midnight lover. slow dancing in the middle of crowded room. a jukebox playing a song reserved for lovers. screaming into the void to hear it call back. falling in love under the light of the moon.
I’m leaving the concept open, but the theme is late night shenanigans. dive bars, crowded clubs, empty movie theaters, a midnight stroll on the beach, a camping trip, stuck in a room with the person you’ve been pining over — anything that could occur between the late night and early morning hours. make it as grungy, fluffy, edgy, or pure as you would like! all plots are accepted! you can base it off of a trope, a song, a movie, whatever inspires you! if it’s a song let me know and I’ll add a link to it with your submission!
rules
must be 18+ to join this collab. I’m setting the deadline to September 21st, but it’s not a strict deadline. to join: send me an ask or a message with your chosen character(s), and a summary of your concept/idea, as well as if it is not sfw/dark content or sfw! (additional tags such as smut/angst/fluff would be appreciated as you develop your idea!)
this is open to both the aot and jjk fandoms!
I’m allowing a count of 2 repeat characters. (ex: two Eren stories, two Levi stories, etc.) this will be first come first serve! two characters to a story are also welcomed! (ex: Erwin x reader x Levi)
must meet a minimum of 500 words!
if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message or an ask! I love collaborating ideas with other writers, and helping in any way I can! I know the concept is very open lol so if confused please let me know if I can be of any help!

The absolute grip this man has on me 😔 And he’s not even real ;-;
Stop Counting
A/N: day 27 of the Izumonth server collab hosted by @birds-have-teeth! this one is pretty much just a lovechild of me and my absolute adoration for Skies of Arcadia, an old JRPG and one of my favorite games of all time, hence *sky* pirate instead of just, like, regular pirate Izuku. this fic was initially intended to end with a big old NSFW sequence but I couldn’t make myself like it. if I ever make myself like it I’ll probably post that section as a sequel/alternate ending!
Summary: You are one of many captured by the Empire and forced to work dangerous jobs aboard their ships. Izuku and the other members of his crew raid your ship in search of things to sell and gold to take, and leave with you. (sky pirate!izuku x reader)
Warnings: angst. there’s a sad dog. at this point you can assume if I wrote a fic there is probably swearing somewhere.
Word count: 4700+
Something is wrong.
You don’t know what. You can’t know what. But the men holding you aboard this ship are running and shouting even more than usual (which is saying a lot). The ship shook about sixty breaths ago, which is becoming less of a good method of time-keeping now that you’re starting to feel more scared than you’re used to and your breathing is quickening.
You live in this engine room. When you are told, you add fuel to the fire for the men on the ship. You try to keep time. You count your breaths as best you can. Every eleven thousand breaths or so, with steady breathing, you receive food. You sleep only when a guard allows it. You thank the moons that they aren’t working you to your total death.
You have worked in this ship for a very long time.
Keep reading
