(Spoilers) Is anyone else a bit uncomfortable with the history given to the Air Nomads? The idea of them being past keepers of peace feels like it goes against the idea of the nations being equal and balanced Then having one of the oppressed 3 nations being oppressors in the past, idk #Aang #ATLA

HUNGER GAMES Characters who Deserve More Conversations: Are depictions of Black #HungerGames characters getting worse? From Thresh, Commander Paylor, Cinna & Rue ❤️ -> Dill, Reaper & Dr. Gaul? 🧐 The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actors did amazing but the script raises a brow #booksky #blackbooksky

Black Hunger Games Characters (who we NEED to Talk About):

Commander Paylor = A just, kind leader

Cato = Strong, loyal, moral

Cinna = Woke, brave, gentle

Dill = Suffering, silenced, miserable, background

Reaper = Violent, hateful, "dangerous"

Dr. Gaul = Part of the problem, "grotesque," stereotypical

This is something I will never understand about our book community... If authors (who aren't being rude) can't look at critcism, how are they supposed to improve? #bookspaces #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting #amquerying #blackbooksky #writersky #bookishhottake #fandomdiscourse #fanfic

BOOK FANS: This author made so many mistakes, and I'm going to write about it all over the internet, and this author really needs to learn from these mistakes

AUTHOR: *reads feedback

BOOK FANS: OMG WHY DID YOU READ THIS FEEDBACK, THIS WASNT A SPACE FOR YOU. GET OUT OF HERE!!!

AUTHOR: *stops reading feedback and continues to make the same mistakes

BOOK FANS: OMG WHY DIDNT YOU LOOK AT AND LEARN FROM THE FEEDBACK I SAID YOU WERENT ALLOWED TO READ???

I think criticism should always be aimed at helping the author improve or at least identifying issues in their work for them to avoid in the future. Why would anyone want to be able to criticize someone behind their back without their ability to learn from that feedback and improve from it?

JUMANJI x PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE Mage is trapped in a strange, fantastical dungeon disconnected from everything she knows about reality, unless she can win the game, alongside 9 other captive young women. Oh, and she has wings and new powers, too. #DVpit #A #LGBT #POC #DF #F #R

A moodboard with six images. Top left is a hand with chains. Top center is a Black girl with an afro against a pink backdrop. Top right is the hilt of a sword stuck in the ground with a forest behind. Bottom left is an abandoned attic. Bottom center is a fairytale book in a European language. Bottom right is a fantasy lantern set against an autumn forest.

SWEET TOOTH x TENDER IS THE FLESH A young half-human, half-bull will do anything to cross the border w/o being eaten A lonely divorcée tries to find love again with a half-cat who hates being owned A half-lion & a half-tiger escape a vile circus in search of a land w/o chains #DVPit #SF #SFF #DF

Moodboard with four images. Top left is a clenched, dark-skinned, masculine hand with chains in grasp.

Top right is a dark-skinned person with big, curly hair. Their arms are held up and spread out, and they look like they're slightly falling artistically. The image is tinted red with a grim tone.

Bottom left is a person with a shoulder length haircut. They are in the ocean staring at the sun along the horizon with their arms raised and hands together. Deer antlers are on their head.

Bottom right is a goat set against a black backdrop. It looks grim as well.

Epic fantasy 👸🏾 Breath-taking romance 😳 Everyone deserves to be a protagonist—to be the subject of love, magic, and wonder—including Black women and girls My MC is a Haitian American girl who eats fried plantains, loves her family, and falls in love in a fantasy world #amwriting #blackbooksky #sff

A Black woman in fantasy attire with a medieval sword. She has a black dress and black gloves, and her braids are tied into a high ponytail that trails down her back. Her eyes are closed and her head is bowed towards her sword as if in deep thought.

With the rise of "strong," kickbutt, don't-need-a-man FMCs, I feel left behind Maybe it's my chronic pain condition, or b/c I've dreamed of love ever since I was a little girl. But I've been hungry for weak, scared FMCs who can't throw a punch, but fight anyway to find their HEA #booksky #romantasy
