How To Be More Inclusive In Your Reader-Inserts

How to be More Inclusive in Your Reader-Inserts

I finally made something for fanfiction writers to use as reference on things to avoid when writing. if you are making a reader-insert story, be sure as most people as possible can see themselves fufilling the role you want them to in your story. 

I became a POC fanfiction writer after years of feeling excluded in reader-insert fanfiction. It’s important as a job as a writer to know your audience—some of which may not always fit in your “view”.

Please take the time to read this to help better yourself in the future. I know I didn’t hit every issue, but I’m willing to update it in the future. 

I apologize if this isn’t the prettiest thing, but it was important for me to create.

things sukuna has had to witness itadori do:

make a Pinterest board for his future wedding, complete with specific sections itadori did not appreciate sukuna telling him he’d be lucky to even find a person to marry him

try out different hairstyles and outfit for three whole hours because itadori wanted to ‘re-invent’ himself 

stare at pictures of jennifer lawrence and make a collage of them as his home screen

write ‘fan fiction’ with an oc scarily similar to jennifer lawrence and sukuna was about to go crazy because the grammar was awful and the plot was mediocre with cringey cliches that made it identical to all the other wattpad stories

see him take 15 pictures in a row and end up deleting 20 from his camera roll

send snapchat streaks to megumi and nobara only to get aired he then sent 3 more within the hour taking time to decorate the snap with bitmoji stickers which still got aired

see/hear his multiple daydreams with complete narratives every night before he sleeps

learn the lyrics to rap songs and tell gojo he wants to try making a soundcloud mixtape the worst thing is gojo supporting him

“A woman can’t be leader. They’re fragile and emotional and if she got her period she’d cause a nuclear war.”

black girls can be rich

black girls can be icy

black girls can be “ghetto”

black girls can be “hood rich”

black girls can be prim and proper

black girls can be alternative

black girls can like rock music

black girls can like classical music

black girls can like long nails and 30 inch hair

black girls can wear weave 24/7 all while blasting some rock music

black girls can be who they wanna be and what they wanna be. who is to society to say what we can and cannot do?

as a black girl myself, I say just be you with no regrets whatsoever. never shall you fall to the standard of another just cause of their preference. what they perceive as a “black women” shouldn’t state how we should act as an individual

there isn’t a standard for a “black girl”. we’re just our own person who happen to be black

black girls, women, non-binary, please continue to be yourself. love yourself as you no matter what the world has to say about us. I love you mwah <3

Yuji: Look Gojo-Sensei, I lost a tooth while fighting today! I’m gonna put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy!

[ Later on, Yuji looking into the camera like he’s on ‘The Office’ ]

Yuji: Yes, I know it was wrong to make Gojo-Sensei think I still believe in the tooth fairy, but I’m in too deep now to tell him otherwise.

[ Camera zooms in to the five hundred dollars beside Yuji’s pillow ]

No one is fucking talking about it but another black man was killed by the same police department that killed George Floyd they killed him 9 minutes after entering his apartment. No knock warrants are fucking bullshit. He was wrapped in his blanket he was innocent they had the wrong address there is body can cottage you cannot fucking deny this bullshit.

This is being hushed up and covered up and I cannot believe it took me until TODAY, SIX DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED to find out about it.

Everyone should be talking about this shit.

All the BLM protests and here we are again. We cannot let a single one of these slide because that's how nothing changes and that's how innocent people are being killed at the hands of assholes who are happy to pull the trigger without hesitation. I'm so fucking upset right now and so should you be.

this whole fic is just me crying and writing out the words i want someone to say to me

ahahaha just kidding .............

What If Camilo And Y/N Where In A Secret Relationship Due To Y/N's Family Being..well Shit...Wondering

NO MATTER WHAT.

There was only one rule you and Camilo had in your relationship, and that was to keep it a secret. Especially from your family. Because for some reason, they seemed jealous of the Madrigals. No matter what happened, they'd always tell you to stay away from them. Imagine how furious they'd get if they found out you were dating one of them. Camilo, of course, respected this. In fact, he didn't seem to mind that you had to keep this relationship of yours hidden. "A little privacy would never hurt anybody, you know?" is what he'd always tell you. Still, despite his reassurances, you couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

-

Your shoulders slumped, a serious expression seen on your face as you dragged yourself to a certain spot, checking behind you once in a while to make sure that there was nobody following you. Looking around, you quickly spot a curly haired boy, dressed in yellow. He opens his arms out for you and you waste no time rushing in to hug him, burying your face into his neck. "Rough day, mi vida?" The sigh that escapes you is enough to tell him what your response is. "Do you want to talk about it?" You mumble something incoherently before lifting your head up. "It's just my family... again." Camilo releases you before sitting on the grass, beckoning you to do the same. You position yourself next to him, resting your head on his shoulder. "I don't know what to do, Camilo... they caught me talking to Mirabel earlier, and I was only apologizing because I bumped into her, but when I got home... they started yelling really hurtful words at me, calling me dirty for coming into contact with her." Camilo scoffs, wrapping an arm around your waist to pull you closer. "Did they even let you explain yourself?" He asks and you shake your head. "They didn't! I tried, but they only called me disrespectful and threatened to ground me for wanting to explain myself!" You press your palms into your eyes, "I don't know what they have against you guys... I wish it didn't have to be like this." Camilo removes the arm around your waist, turning to face you. "I'm sorry that it has to be like this, that you— we have to keep this a secret from everyone." He gently grabs your hands, taking it away from your face. "Hey, you don't have to apologize for anything... Besides, I told you haven't I? A little privacy wouldn't hurt anybody. I love you and I don't need everybody to know about it just to prove it to you." A small blush spreads across your cheeks, but you refuse to look him in the eyes.

"I know, you say that everytime... but I still can't help it, Camilo. What if one day you get tired of this? Of me? Or what if you find someone else? Someone who you could show off so proudly to the whole world? What if you fall out of love with—"

Before you could even finish the sentence, your lover crashes his lips against yours, effectively shutting you up. Your eyes widen in surprise and he pulls away before you could even return the kiss, leaving you feeling a little disappointed. "Listen, corazón... I love you and all, but you must be going insane if you think I'd find someone better than you." Camilo gently cups your face, pressing his forehead against yours. "I'm yours and will always be yours. No matter what happens, we'll go through it together." He places quick kiss on your nose. "So you better get yourself ready, mi amor, because you're never ever getting rid of me." A grin appears on his lips as he places a brief kiss to your lips before letting you go. "And I'll prove it to you with this!"

Camilo shoves his hand in his pocket, taking something from it before pulling it out. He takes your hand in his and slipping a ring to your finger, bringing the back of your hand to his lips afterwards. You let out a quiet gasp at this. "Camilo, I— This is..." What should you even say to this? You were left speechless. "It's a promise ring. A reminder that I will always be with you. My heart belongs to you, and no one else's. It doesn't matter to me if we have to spend the rest of our lives hiding this relationship, as long as I'm with you, I'll be happy. You make me happy, (name)."

God, what did you do to deserve this boy? You couldn't help but get emotional at his words, the tears welling up in your eyes. "If that's not enough to convince you then..." He pauses to look at you, a smirk forming on his lips. Before you could even react, he wraps his arms around you, smothering your face with his kisses. A giggle escapes you as you try to push him off. "Alright— Okay! Camilo, I get it already! I love you too!"

After a few more pecks to your cheek, he finally stops, chuckling at how red your entire face is. You pinch his cheeks as he laughs, pulling your hand off.

You spend a few more seconds laughing with each other before he goes completely silent, the smile on his face dropping as he looks at something behind you. Worried, you turn around to see what he saw.

It was his family. His entire family.

His parents were smiling widely, a rainbow above his mama's head. His sister was whispering something to her cousins, and you don't miss the way they smirk.

A rush of embarrassment takes over you, your lover silently curses. You and Camilo better get ready, because you both are in for a lot of teasing.
