Chapter Twenty-Three

“I have recently been informed that this property harbours a fugitive.” The wiry man quickly stepped past the door with confidence, and without invitation.

“Well I’m sorry to inform you I’ve not heard such news myself. I’ll be sure to send for you right away. Wouldna want such a dangerous presence near Lallybroch.”

“Then you surely won’t mind if I make an attempt to ascertain the validity of your statement, Miss Fraser.” He looked down at her stomach in disgust. So her destiny had always been to become a whore, he had just spurred her closer towards it.

“Not at all. But we’ve nowhere for you to stay on such short notice.”

Are Ash’s wings important in TWP because they’re a visual metaphor, comparing Ash to a bird stuck in a cage?

Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for his own liberation from the court?

Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for the liberation of the Shadow World as we know it?

I’m starting to think that Ash’s character arc is going to follow a theme of freedom. For him, for everyone he comes to know and love.

#I do not know if this makes sense #also Claire this would check out with your Ash is Lucifer theory #because if anyone sacrificing their black-feathered wings (which are reminiscent of none other than Lucifer himself) #is going to save the entire shadow world from utter destruction #it’s Lucifer #the dark artifices #the wicked powers #ash Morgenstern #morgenthorn #Dru blackthorn #the last king of faerie #the last prince of hell #the last shadowhunter #the shadowhunter chronicles #ty blackthorn #kit herondale

Tari absolutely loves plants, she finds them utterly fascinating. in another world, another time and place, she might have become a botanist, alchemist, poisoner or perhaps an apothecary

#about Tari #Tari staying with Clara Sin Clair and her faerie wife Mina Witchwood #you can ignore my rambling about two of my general OCs #as I said there's a LOT of Thoughts rattling around and it's best to just get them out so they'll stop bothering me #Mina begrudgingly took the title of Witch of the Wood so the locals would stop asking questions #so she was deeply relieved when Clara showed up wanting to learn from her #so eventually the title gets shifted to Clara as Mina doesn't have to make appearances in local towns and villages anymore #and Clara takes to it with enthusiasm and genuine joy #Mina eventually falls in love and Clara...doesn't get it but she does care about Mina Very Much #they end up calling each other Wife mostly for convivence #Mina doesn't mind Clara doesn't want anything she just wants to stick around #because someone's gotta protect Clara while she goes foraging #and while Mina avoids towns she LOVES visiting the festivals and holidays

5 Things You Don't Know About Malec

1. Alec wanted his and Magnus's wedding rings to be special. He bought two plain gold bands and had a faery smith engraved them so that the Lightwood pattern of flames was on the outside and the words 'Aku Cinta Kamu' I love you in Indonesian was on the inside thus honoring both his heritage and Magnus's.

2. One Christmas, Alec received anonymous blue sweater in the mail that matched his eyes. Magnus was convinced the sweater was contaminated with some deadly magical substance, it was some sort of assassination attempt. He experimented on the sweater until it exploded. Later it was revealed that Catarina Loss had knitted the sweater for Alec and had forgotten to include a note.

3. After the defeat of Valentine, downworlders from all over the world came to Venice to celebrated their victory with a huge masked ball. Magnus and Alec were the only Downworlder-Shadowhunter couple in attendance and after the events of the ball, Alec became pretty famous in downworld.

4. Alec's favorite lullaby to sing to his kids is À la claire fontaine which his mother used to sing to her kids when they were little. Magnus prefers to sing pop songs to Max and Rafe, Bicycle by Queen and Starman by David Bowie are two of his favorites.

5. Magnus and Alec celebrated their second anniversary by getting each other fluffy purple bathrobs.

Chapter Twenty-Two

After his first English breakfast of the day, Jamie slipped downstairs to filch a fresh bannock from Mrs. Crook before she could slap his hand away. Life on a farm never stopped, and he surely wouldn’t either. 

Claire, sated, laid back into the swarm of pillows and sheets and fell promptly back to sleep. The sun was already up near the top of the sky when she woke again, and everyone was bustling around the manor. 

They really didn’t take even a moment to rest. 

But, the final bits of the harvest had to be dealt with, and a stone fortress as big as Lallybroch needed constant attention with it filled to the seams with inhabitants.

Hi, do you have any recommendations for books where a primary character is an asexual adult (~20+)? (Bonus points if they’re aroace.) I love that we’re getting so many MG and YA ace characters but I’d love to read about characters closer to my age.

Sure, these are all books with adult aroace MCs:

Good Angel by A. M. Bauslid

Seafoam and Silence by S.L. Dove Cooper

A Promise Broken by S.L. Dove Cooper

We Go Forward by Alison Evans (Amz)

The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia

Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace

The Faerie Godmother’s Apprentice Wore Green by Nicky Kyle

“Backgame” by Lev Mirov, in Myriad Lands Volume II

Seafoam and Silence by Lynn O’Connacht

A Promise Broken by Lynn E. O’Connacht

Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

Vengeful by V.E. Schwab (Fantasy)

I Want to Be a Wall by Honami Shirono (Manga)

Holding Onto Day by E.H. Timms

Create My Own Perfection by E.H. Timms

They're mostly (all?) SFF, though, so for contemp with ace MCs but that are mostly (all?) Romances, try:

A Milky Way Home by Hsinju Chen

Thaw by Elyse Springer

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun

Learning Curves by Ceillie Simkiss

In My Dreams by Elin Annalise

My Heart to Find by Elin Annalise

Racebending vs Whitewashing 101

In this essay we’re going to be answering two questions: Why is it ok, from a race perspective, to make white characters POC but not the other way around? And why don’t you make original characters that are POC instead?

There are quite a few reasons, and I’ll be discussing them all below the cut for anyone who's genuinely curious about this and wants to educate themselves :)

⭕️ Firstly: most white characters have no plot relevant reason to be white. White people are considered the default human being, so their race or culture *usually* does not affect or contribute to the plot or story or game in any way. Like, pick your average piece of media with white characters in it and see if they actually *have* to be white for the story to work/make sense. Unless being WHITE plays some important role in the story, then in most cases, characters do not need to be white. This is especially true for non human characters depicted as white (mermaids, faeries, aliens, etc.). Unless being a *white* non human is important to the story for a specific reason and then they can be almost ANY race. For example: In Gremlins do Billy and his family have to be white for the story to still work? Does making the Skywalker family POC impact the plot in any way, shape or form in Star Wars? Is being white relevant to Iron Man's, Batman's, or Superman's stories at all? Why do the main characters of Jaws have to be white? Do Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, and Claire Dearing and Owen Grady, from Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, respectively, need to be white in order for the movies to make sense? Does being white play an important role in Indiana Jones' character, or would the movies still work if he was another race? Does it impact the story if I were to change the Russels (Maddie, Emma, and Mark) in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, from white to black?

⭕️ Conversely, people aren’t as used to seeing POC in media, so often their existence is “justified” with some form of racism. It would not make sense to make a character facing racism (say, antiblackness) white (for example, in Disney's The Princess and the Frog, Tiana lives in a segregated Black community that is decidedly poorer than the wealthy white community Lottie lives in, and is denied the ability to buy the mill to make into a restaurant because it would’ve been too hard for a woman of her “background” to run a business)

⭕️ Another way POC are “justified” in western media is making something specifically about their culture. Unlike most white people in media, we cannot simply *exist* and, say, survive an alien invasion, or steal the Declaration of Independence, or get sucked into portal to a magical land, or survive a natural disaster, or have a very very very bad day, or solve a mystery about a haunted house, or worry about prom. No, our culture almost always has to play some SIGNIFICANT role to “explain” to the audience why that character is not white. Not that that’s a bad thing. For example, Mulan is about a Chinese woman overcoming the deeply ingrained sexism in China and becoming a soldier. The movie is all about China and Chinese culture, so it makes no sense to make her white.

⭕️ Making a POC white plays into whitewashing and colorism (the basic idea that paler skin is better/more beautiful/less “savage”). For example, in slavery lighter skinned ppl were “better,” and were allowed to serve in the house because, being lighter, they were viewed as closer to white and as being “more human.” Changing or “improving” a POC by making them white is just feeding into that nasty idea that people with darker skin tones are “less than” or aren’t real humans. Conversely, there is no relevant history of white people being considered “less-than”, or, you know, NOT HUMAN for having lighter skin, in fact lighter skin tones have been promoted as desirable for centuries. White people by and large aren't harmed psychologically from seeing a character being redesigned with darker skin/being racebent, because society has never told them that their lighter skin makes them nonhuman or undesirable, unlike I, a Black woman, who’s been told all my life that darker skin is masculine and ugly on a girl and that I would be pretty if I only had lighter skin :)

⭕️ All those reasons are important, but there is one MAIN reason why racebending works but whitewashing does not: representation. Representation is very important and very powerful, impacting our own self esteem as well as impacting how we perceive groups of people who are different than us (x, x, x, x, x). Representation can help you develop empathy for a certain group, or it can perpetuate harmful stereotypes about them. White people are represented literally everywhere in Western media--books, movies, TV shows. Even most toys. It’s not taking representation away from them if we make a white character a POC--they have tons of other characters to make up for it! Even if we NEVER had a white main character in any movie or TV show ever again, white people still have the past century's worth of media with themselves as the main characters for them to watch. Conversely, we have comparatively few prominent characters that are POC in Western media, and even fewer that aren't just side characters or walking stereotypes. Making them white takes away the limited representation POC have in the west. Racebending (either in fan art or in reboots of a series/movie) is typically done by people who lack representation and want more.

Why don’t you make original characters that are POC?

⭕️ Most of us would prefer original characters. I WANT original characters of color. But when we do make new characters that are POC, or new stories with POC leads (especially if they are dark skinned POC) they are usually ignored or overlooked by consumers in favor of white characters or white-led stories (Finn and Rose vs Kylo Ren and Hux from Star Wars; and Black Lightning being wayyyyyy less popular than white-led DC shows; Still Star Crossed being, like, forgotten?). This often happens on movies and on television shows, and usually the end result is that the new characters of color are written off or are minimized in the show/following movies because they are not profitable (once again, what happened to Finn and Rose in Star Wars) or the shows are canceled (Black Lightning, Still Star Crossed). Or the story is labeled “woke” and “political” and is boycotted by the same people who said we should make original characters in the first place.

——————————————————————

I'm not saying you have to *like* racebending white characters. I am merely EXPLAINING why one way is racist and the other way around is not. But the sad thing is, all these reasons are common sense. Most people know we have a racist history, they know it’s wrong to make Tiana or Black Panther white even if they have problems articulating *exactly* why: because the point of these characters existing in the first place is to show that we’re human too. That we can be heroes and princesses and role models too, despite centuries of being told we were nothing. We still live in a world where being white is considered the default human, and nonwhite people have to be *justified* in their existence, because most of us weren't viewed as human for centuries. If it truly bothers you that much, then support original characters of color and diverse franchises instead of white characters and predominately white franchises. That way you will send a message—we all will—that we want more original characters of color. In the meantime? I, a Black woman living in a white-centric world, am going to enjoy all the characters of color I can get.
