Ooooh you want to create a black female character with more complex traits other than "she's beautiful and perfect" sooo bad 🌀🌀🌀 you want to write black characters who don't need to be the righteous voice of reason in order to be worth being in the story oooooh 🌀🌀🌀 you want to write us like actual human beings who aren't disproportionately punished by the narrative for being flawed 🌀🌀🌀🌀oooooooh

Somewhere in the notes Estraven wrote during our trek across the Gobrin Ice he wanders why his companion is ashamed to cry. I could have told him even then that it was not shame so much as fear. Now I went into the cold country that lies beyond fear. There I found you can weep all you like, but there's no good in it.

Sometimes the interpreter’s job is to actually interpret what is being said. Not word-for-word (though that can be quite important), but context-for-context.

[ID: pictures of text from a book, some of which has been highlighted in pink. The highlighted parts read: “I was the first to introduce myself. […] Joy. I’m from Portland and I’m traveling with eight other African American women. […] despite the brevity of my comments, the translator seemed to be going on at length. ‘Is this going to happen after every introduction?’
“I know that I didn’t say very much, so what exactly did you say to them?”
“I said that you were African American women, I needed to explain what that meant. You see, many of the people in the audience are […] the ones who had been stolen away. They were chanting at you, ‘Welcome home.’
“We mourned Martin and Malcolm with you, we are so proud of you, we just wondered when you were coming home.” END ID]

you will miss this in 40 or 48 hours. twitter will smooth your brain down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a social media platform that hasn't meaningfully changed in a decade. you don't know I'm posting about you in real time bc Sarah has timestamps switched off. I'm not dead, Grant. Grant, let me out of the casket. Graaaant,
