I want better for black people, I do, but this is too much. Y’all gotta want better for yourselves first!
8/10 are lightskinned biracials. What is this communities problem with saying biracials are biracial. I have seen some of the stupidest reasons as to why biracials with a black parent should be counted as black including but not limited to “The Black genes are dominant!” Which is not true at all and we have thousands to hundreds of lightskinned biracials or white looking biracials to prove it, and “Her daddy/mommy is black so she must black since race is passed down through the parent.” Which again is not true.
At the very least I’m glad to see the poster got cooked in the quote retweets.
These replies were my favorite.
#colorism#black girls of tumblr#please i beg of you#let go of the one drop rule#it ain’t even helping you#literally y’all will be complaining about biracials playing black characters#yet our people are calling them black#it’s tiring#one drop rule

“Black power is the dungeon-side view of Monticello—which is to say, the view taken in struggle. And black power births a kind of understanding that illuminates all the galaxies in their truest colors. Even the Dreamers—lost in their great reverie—feel it, for it is Billie they reach for in sadness, and Mobb Deep is what they holler in boldness, and Isley they hum in love, and Dre they yell in revelry, and Aretha is the last sound they hear before dying. We have made something down here. We have taken the one-drop rules of Dreamers and flipped them. They made us into a race. We made ourselves into a people.”

Efreeti are people, too.
I'm currently in limbo between a two-part session wherein the gang and I are trying to find and rescue Ezra's mother from this big-dick wizard who has her bound as a servant against her will (i.e. enslaved).
Ezra is a fire genasi. His mother is efreeti.
Ezra said something about stopping this asshole from kidnapping people, and one of my party members apparently skipped over the part about preventing a guy from doing more bad things and went straight into his own semantic idea of the term "people".
He didn't think efreeti counted as people (the most generic word for a collection of sentient beings I could probably have used).
At the time, I just gaped at him.
Look me in the eyes, man, and tell me again that my mother is not a person.
My brain had kind of bluescreened at that moment, but if I'd had the wherewithal to do so, I would have said it.
At least he viewed the glass half-full and seemed to consider the elven part of my blood enough to make me a person?
Which is pretty rich, coming from a dwarf, if that's how we're gonna do this? (idk what the deal is with elves and dwarves—Is that even a thing in D&D or just LotR?)
Grasping at straws, I amended the word choice to "humanoid" but that seemed to only make matters more confusing. Because, by the book, efreeti fall into the category of Elemental, and Humanoid is a different creature type. (Because we're Pokémon now I guess.)
But in the sense of "humanoid" being a word meaning "human-shaped" or "resembling a human"... they've seen Ezra's mother, at least at a glance. She's undoubtedly human-shaped, whether that form is 100% corporeal or not.
There are a hundred branching issues that we could dive into with whatever box of particulars my party member was holding at that moment.
But none of that is really the point.
Genasi are so rare. The region Ezra grew up in had exactly one, and that big majority—the humans—didn't know what to do with him. It was bad, okay? Ezra had a terrible childhood.
He ran away from it. But he was still alone, and still afraid, because he didn't know any better. Afraid he was a monster, that no one would ever care about him. Afraid that he would never have friends, never be loved.
So this guy he's been travelling with for a year, who's supposed to be, finally, some kind of friend, off-handedly confirms and reinforces that what Ezra is and where he comes from does not qualify as people.
Maybe some folks just don't get quite as deep into their characters as I do, but damn.
That was some kind of betrayal.

Aroace people are aromantic too, please remember that
#I'm tired of aroaces having their aroness erased by everyone just saying they're asexual#of course there are aroaces who feel their asexuality is more important but that's not the general rule#honestly the constant erasure of my aroness is one of the reasons I dropped asexual as a label#aroace#aro#aromantic#ace#asexual#arospec#acespec#aromantic asexual#aspec#queer#panda's post

Okay but TSP/Portal crossover AU is such a cool concept, how have I never thought about that before?? I'd like to request Narra and GLaD hanging out watching their respective little guys go through tests like 'can you believe them they're so dumb <3'
Day 30 - They're absolute hellions
Bonus:
Noooo, my bucket!!
#My art#Requestober#Portal#The Stanley Parable#TSP#GLaDOS#The Narrator#Stanley#Chell#They're just all so antagonist towards others lol#I think Stanley is a terrible influence paired with just about anyone but honestly I think Chell would adopt him haha#She is also a chaos gremlin and enjoys taunting and flouting the ''rules'' - deservedly lol#It's hard to imagine GLaDOS or the Narrator just accepting that they've been dropped into a crossover haha#They're both so fixated on their respective protagonist that someone else is just strange! Odd!! Unwanted!!#And at least GLaD and Chell are at the homefield advantage - the boys are in a whole new environment!#The Narrator would freak the heck out lol - but if they got past the initial without everything combusting-#Well actually I can imagine GLaDOS getting fed up with Narra hogging the PA just to say what Stanley is/should be doing lol#''He is clearly ignoring you why do you bother'' ''It's my job! My duty!'' *explosion* Pfft#I do like the idea of GLaDOS referring to other people's test subjects by other lesser names#Something along the lines of I'm the only one who gets to call mine a test subject because I'm doing Real science haha#All these dynamics! How the two protags would react to each other and their respective voices reaction to each other and each's inverse#Too many to think about right now lol gimme a sleep or two on it haha#Although Portal/TSP crossovers have been around since they both existed concurrently ♪ Still they're fun to think about!#It is fun to imagine Stanley following behind Chell through the portals until he gets distracted#It becomes a bucket quest real fast lol - They poke around Rattman's bunker and Chell gets sad and Stanley ''helps'' with a distraction#Trimming GLaDOS down and doing a halfbody for Narra and then chibis for the rest - it's all about the right math right? Right lol#Only one more! Ahh!

The Black community: Oh! We’re not being represented on television and movies! They’re casting light skins and biracials to play us! They’re choosing people with looser hair textures to play us!
Someone: Ok then, let’s acknowledge and say biracials aren’t black just because they have a parent that’s black. Let’s set a standard for what a Black American is.
The Black Community : “How dare you erase their blackness!”
“Blackness comes in all shades and textures!”
“If they have a black parent they’re black!”
“They experience the same discrimination black people face!”
“They won’t have anywhere to go since the white community don’t want them!”
“You’re just jealous cus they’re pretty! You’re insecure!”
Me:
#colorism#one drop rule#one drop#biracials aren’t black#y’all would never be saying this if they were latina/o or were mixed but didn’t have black parents#suddenly y’all know what a mixed or biracial person is then#mixed people aren’t black#the clownery#literally y’all will be complaining about biracials playing black characters#then say they’re black when someone says they shouldn’t be playing black people when they’re not black themselves#This is why I have hard time taking the black community seriously#y’all will whine and complain then when someone repeats what you say and put some action behind it y’all wanna act stupid until you get hurt#blackblr#what does the black community want?#do you want proper representation or not?#make up your mind#black girls of tumblr

also yall we need to step back from the harryvision and understand that kim, at his core, is a loser (affectionate) like everyone else. so much out there wants to portray him as limitless patience, great cook, super organized, good handwriting, nice tasteful living quarters etc and that's fun to contrast him to harry but well i am here to RUIN that we need to take off the du bois glasses and appreciate kim for the weirdguy that he is. he has horrific fits of road rage and harry genuinely fears for his life riding along with him and witnessing the generational curses this man is capable of unleashing upon the stupid little fucks that cut him off on the 8/81. he has never had the time or space or budget to learn to cook so he lives off deli sandwiches and butter noodles and the occasional grab-and-go fruit. he writes so much so frequently with such awful handwriting that he has invented a new form of shorthand and the moralintern is contacting him to create a cipher system for them. he has no resources to furnish and maintain a nice flat so it's like a slightly gentrified r/malelivingspace but with a table for his sewing machine and there's scrap fabric and thread and half-pinned half-hemmed pants strewn about the place. there are absolutely a bunch of shitty mockups of his old wirral character in the backs of his notebooks and he hasn't played it in years but if he ever picks it back up then his minmax high int high dex definitely-not-a-self-insert sidhe artificer is READY. everyone add your weirdguy kim thoughts NOW 👇
#the 'kim is so cool and confident etc' illusion shatters the moment martinaise is over and harry knows him outside of the one case#harry will be starry eyed about him for a long time regardless. but harry knows More now#harry like kim i dont know how to cook for myself please help :(#kim comes over. they attempt a dinner. the vegetables turn out undercooked but burnt somehow. the pasta is limp.#the chicken gives them food poisoning.#'are you... bad at cooking?' harry asks. kim pulls the eyebrow. they drop the conversation and harry never asks again#harry decides to try out wirral with a local group and tells kim. kim goes full nerd mode#kim walks him through character creation and gives him a full rules rundown from memory#introduces him to the prominent ttrpg settings and lore. it's a literal 8 hour conversation#at the end of it kim says 'and that's the basics' and harry gives him a Look and kim is like ah. i may have told on myself a bit there.#anyway that ends in harry DEMANDING to see kim's wirral character#kim (embarrassed) (proud of his character) (ashamed) (really wants to talk about his character) (needs help with backstory details)#anyway they end up workshopping their characters together.#kim at the end is like 'hm maybe your guy can be in mine's backstory' and harry goes '😣👉👈 is this first base...'#kiwipost#harry du bois#kim kitsuragi

GRAY & LUCY HCS !!
intended platonic, but romantic is also *chefs kiss*
when the team first formed they didnt hang out one on one very often; but when they started they just,,, clicked???
they ARE each others ride or dies
They are mutually very protective of one another
theyd rather die than let the other go through something alone
Lucy is the first person to actually realize and take action against juvias harassment
while he knows Lucy can take care of herself, Gray has and will again put a man thrice his size in his place for her
random deep lore drops
dead silence between them , then out of nowhere—
“this reminds me of when i almost went to prison”
“pris-WH— HUH?????”
“oh yeah, dw tho i was framed”
“EXCUSE ME???”
their contacts for each other are impressively humiliating for both of them
* babe, sweetheart, honey (condescending) cunt, bitch, whore (affectionate)
ppl who dont know them think theyre dating
or they hate eachother
which is funny to the ppl who DO know them bc they’re literally two of the only ppl who you fr cant hate
theyre the type to just know each other
they also cant take each other seriously
theyll be on opposite side of the guild and catch one look at each other and deadass can NOT hold in their laughter
also, their drama debriefs are EVERYTHING
Gray is the only one in the team to have a key to Lucys apartment
like an actual, physical key
she went through the trouble of copying one for him even though she knew he could make his own whenever he wants
it was a very important moment in their friendship
Lucy will back him up in a lie on instinct
wont ask questions, just does it
(this has gotten them in trouble multiple times)
if one of them hates someone, the other will also, regardless of reasoning
bonding over mutual hatred is their love language
if one threatens the other they will respond with some variation of “promises, promises”, “kinky”, or “oh, please do”
they love flirting with each other in public
theyre both very pretty and they know it, and they will use it to their advantage
“i need to make someone jealous, be my bf for a couple pics”
“if im gonna do this, we’re gonna really sell it”
(they made fake accounts and backstories that day (and multiple others))
#fairy tail#lucy heartfilia#gray fullbuster#fairy tail headcanons#i love them#graylu#graylu brotp#i live by the random lore drop one#judgy bitches#both of them#they broke the no two pretty bestfriends rule#absolutely demolished it#sun strickens ft#oh my god#i didnt realize how long this was

This sad spineless little bitch made this post and then blocked me. Guess they can't handle the truth. 🤣
Love how you assume I'm a terf just because I'm a(true) lesbian. If you went through my blog for even a second you'd know that's not the case. But I'm not surprised that a bi lesbian is throwing that word around and not knowing what it means.
You also don't seem to know what homophobic means either lol. You're not gonna guilt trip actual lesbians into saying we like cis dick. Are those lesbians in the room with us right now?
Anyway go back to your lesbophobic troll cave and die there.
P.S. your boyfriend is a creep. ✌🏿
#lesbian#blocklist#anti-bi lesbian#anti-mspec lesbian#also calling lesbian a LIFESTYLE WOW#also that's not what the one drop rule means#if you're not black then why are you even using that term in this instance shut the fuck up

What could be consider laws of the multiverse?
Or is there no such thing?
Aight aight
Let's go, explanation for time
For this one I will speak as creator
This is infos I've shared before on my site, and I got the greenlight to share it here !
Reminder that @neonross was the og creator of Out of Bounds and I am merely one of the artist and writers ( and alternatively the lore gremlin that make sure everything is smooth good lore lol ( so for lore clarification yeh I'm the good person to ask haha))
So here are the "laws" of the multiverse and how it works in wttmv specifically !
Those rules apply only in our story, but anyone who wants to use those concepts are welcome, of course ! Neon Ross's og intent was to have rules flexible enough for people to make characters and have fun with the concepts, but we don't mean to be an autority of any kind and ruin people's fun... Anyway, explanation time
It's not really "laws" so much as rules for ourselves and for our story, to give it nuances and stakes and the right amount of lore scratching complexity
Some characters however might tell you that these are laws lmao
✨Out of Bounds ✨
___-Lore Guide-___
Out of Bounds (OOB) is a realm existing beyond the multiverse, operating by its own rules and devoid of time. This guide provides insight into OOB's nature, its role in the multiverse, and the mechanics governing its interactions.
Nature of Out of Bounds
Definition :
• OOB is a space outside of alternate universes, akin to the Void Realm in Towags where forgotten characters and places reside.
• Awareness of this space is limited, known only to those who reside within or encounter its inhabitants.
Television :
• Floating televisions within OOB display AUs, acting as viewports or portals for interaction.
• Televisions serve as a primary means for Multiversers to observe and interact with AUs. ( While it is the primary way, note that there are exceptions and other ways to travel )
Shows :
• We call "show" the stories within the multiverse. Includes the Original, Variants, Alternate Universes.
• The Original cannot be touched or interacted with by anyone.
• Variants are copies of the original with very minor changes (art style, design, head canons). They can be interacted with on varrying degree, depending on the creator of the variant will.
• AUs are copies of Welcome Home with major or noticeable changes, from the story, to the characters and their designs.
Vintage Tapes :
• AUs are stored within vintage tapes, with the film inside representing the universe's timeline.
• Tapes categorize AUs into Fixed and Flexible, depending on the level of interaction allowed by the creators of each AUs.
Interference Mechanics :
• Interfering with Fixed AUs poses risks, as altering their storylines can lead to universe corrupt and/or collapse.
• Flexible AUs allow more interaction, often featuring crossovers and Y/N scenarios.
Out of Bound Spaces
Channels :
• Spaces integral to the multiverse system, including the Observer's TV room, the Archives, and Admin's film room.
Shows :
• The AUs themselves, contained in the multiverse, then OOB
Lost Media :
• Spaces not categorized as channels or tapes, such as the Keeper's domaine, Trader's space, and Stitcher's atelier. (Often time those are kind of like shells of dead/collapsed/modified AU, or pocket dimensions)
Pillars of Creation :
• Vast space outside of the multiverse, a galaxy-like zone full of stars, that is said to be where the creators of AUs reside. Very few characters go so far in the OOB.
In between :
• The void between the AUs. It is devoid of breathable air, often dark and lightless as well. Some multiversers are unaffected by the lack of air, but stay careful ! We don't know what lurks or leaks in the in-between
Diagram made by Bloomenvogel and Neon Ross for the Out of Bound as we see it in WTTMV
Note : this diagram applies to wttmv, but feel free to use I with your characters if you want ! Just like all of those rules, we made those to help make the story as a whole
Out of Bound Inhabitants
Natives of OOB :
• The Out of Bound is often said to have a mind of its own... It will sometimes create its own variants of the core cast, for reasons still obscures to this day. Notable characters born from the OOB : Observer, Courier, Messenger
"Refugies"
• Cast or OC characters that had their worlds destroyed/corrupted/collapsed, and who are left to wander in the multiverse. Most often they will end up in Peacekeeper's domaine until they can be rehomed in a flexible tape or new universe, or adapt to the Out of Bounds.
• A character that adapts to the Out of Bounds will then be called "Multiverser" along with the native of OOB
• Characters considered "refugies turned multiverser" in wttmv : Peacekeeper, Filante, Trader, ShopKeeper, Watcheye, Stitcher, Croupier
Multiversers :
• Multiversers are the inhabitants of the Out of Bounds. Often times, they are anomalies that have developped specific abilities allowing them to reside or survive in the Out of Bounds. Those abilities often includes being able to travel to multiple flexible tapes, but not always. A multiverser will almost always be a variant of a cast character, and rarely, if not ever, a y/n or fan oc. (If you wonder why y/n and ocs are excluded from being multiversers specifically, it's because Y/N is at its core a you self insert, but *you* are supposed to be viewers in the story. It's fine when in a pocket universe like Keeper's and Trader, a y/n can exist there, but in the oob it could causes some problems of logic with viewer influence and control, or the focus of the story could go astray to fit a y/n, which is not a story we want to tell. It kinda goes for ocs too)
__________________
I tried to say as much as I could without much spoilers... For the reminder, I already explained the main, general chronology of wttmv on the site
Ik, ik, it's a bit of a hassle to go search and look and all. Tbh the site is kind of a way to give a bit of a treat for the really big fans who are ready to go on a separate site to get lore lmao /lh
But now I get to ramble here too ! Hurray !
TLDR :
OOB is big and weird. The AUs and Variants can be interacted with only if allowed by the creators. Multiversers are the weird cast variants living in the oob. The OOB is kinda like an onion, it has layers. Most characters always stay in the multiverse part.
#ooff big lore one#rambling time#yk I love to ramble#anyway - you can use this as official lore guide#it's Ross approved#mostly-#you might notice the lack of Nyxie inclusion in this post /j#well actually it's because that even as a multiverser she doesn't fit in here.#also Nyxie runs under an other set of rules that loosely connects to wttmv so that she can be disconnected whenever I need her to#i am smart like that haha#you might also notice some characters are not mentionned#it's either because their originin is “unknown” or because they have been created by a third party outside of AUs#but if I say that - I fear people might roll with it and go too crazy - so just in case i put it here for people who read all the tags only#to you - you are allowed to know that some characters were created in the pillars of creations by a third party and it's an anomaly#welcome home au#welcome home#whmultiverse#keeper poppy au#multiverse mom#ask peacekeeper poppy#ask blog#welcomehome#lore time#big lore drop here#lore guide
