"WWX is the kindest person in the novel" "WWX would NEVER intentionally cause pain" "EVERYTHING WWX does in his life is to help the common people"

Hmm. Really. Is that in the book. Is that what actually happens. What qualifies as 'intentionally causing pain' because... uh... Are you sure you aren't confusing him with... someone else...?

Sarcasm aside I am genuinely baffled how people come to the 'HERO OF THE COMMON PEOPLE' take. Yet another point where I have that 'am I reading a different book than everyone else?!' moments. Literally where does he do anything for any commoner (aside from occasionally helping them via night hunts, which is of course a good thing to do - but none of the major plot points involve devoting his life to helping commoners and a few minor ones involve inconveniencing them via stolen lotus pods and chickens, ruining the floor/ceiling of their business/livelihood with bath water, and making them uneasy with pet ghost girl harems).

As much as I love WWX, none of the people he does significant things to protect in the story are commoners. Not JC, not the Wens who are, well, Wens - they're all cultivators and some (like WQ) were very close to the top of the cultivation world as a favored protege of WRH before they were dragged down. Mianmian might be a 'servant's daughter' and lower status than most people there at the indoctrination camp, but that's in the context of being cultivators belonging to/associated with clans important enough for the Wens to demand they send disciples to their camp - an extremely privileged and narrow subset of the total population that is still substantially higher status than actual commoners.

That's not to say it's a bad story! And it's not to say they weren't worth protecting because they weren't commoners, or change the fact he did so at great personal sacrifice and with considerable panache! But 'hero of the common people' is just not what his story is about??

Anyway why can't people just enjoy a sexy necromantic torture-revenge to tragic downfall to accidental resurrection with pet donkey to fucking in the bushes character arc for what it is?

Unless I'm wildly misremembering something, I'm pretty sure JGY is the only major character who actually put any significant effort into doing anything actually substantial at any sort of personal cost/risk to help common people, or made it a substantial goal and produced results. (I guess if you count XXC and SL as major characters them too but I don't because I don't care about the Yi City arc much at all lol)

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

contents ౨ৎ ⋆ k. bakugo x teacher! fem reader. fluff. ⭑ he keeps staring. the kids notice.

In your five years of teaching, you never thought you’d see Dynamight sitting cross-legged on the daisy shaped carpet in the center of your classroom, while your kids swarm around him to paint his face.

Warmth spreads across your chest as you take it all in. It’s quite the sight, to see the big, buff, seasoned twenty five year old pro hero letting all these tiny toddlers take turns taking clumsy swipes at his face with the colorful paints you bought for them the week before for art class.

What you don’t notice is the way his eyes trail to you wherever you are in the classroom. When you move to open the windows to let the fresh air in, to wipe the chalkboard, even when you’re organizing the mess of crayons on your desk into their rightful bins.

“Why do you keep staring at our teacher?” One of them, a little boy wearing his t-shirt backwards, curiously pipes up. Everyone else nods in agreement, they’ve been wondering the exact same thing.

“You gonna tell her what I said when I leave later?” Katsuki raises a brow. A chorus of playful noooo’s follow him.

“We’re gonna tell her while you’re still here!”

These little brats. He’s barely known these kids for two hours and already he knows that they love you like a second mother, and wouldn’t be letting him go so easily. There’s fondness in his eyes as Katsuki chuckles and leans in, and the kids eagerly lean in to hear what he has to say.

“I’m starin’ cause she’s pretty.”

Gasps and nods of agreement spread across the carpet just as you clap your hands together, your sweet voice ringing through the classroom, to which everyone, including Katsuki with his paint bedazzled face, turns to give you their fullest attention.

“Alright my angels, let’s give Mr. Dynamight some space now okay?”

Curious little eyes glance back and forth between you and Dynamight with, when someone loudly pipes up, “Ms. L/n doesn’t have a boyfriend!”

“Mr. Dynamight thinks you’re pretty!”

“He stares at you like the way my brother stares at ice cream!”

“Hey I was going to say that!”

Bickering ensues across the carpet and you simply gape at them as a hint of a smirk appears on Katsuki’s face.

Should we tell them after class? He mouths in your direction.

No, you mouth back, covering a giggle behind your hand at the continued chaos of your kids behind your boyfriend.

A little homework never hurt anyone.

[amystarrstuff]

so, this is something i've noticed in fandom spaces and want to see how people ~generally~ feel regarding genderbends & genderswaps, especially if they are transgender themselves!

if there's a reason for why you like/dislike genderbends please share in the tags, this is something that genuinely interests me

i had a dream last night that i organized a tumblr meetup and we all agreed to go to a local bar together. so i go to the bar but it was a really busy night and i didn't want to ask every stranger "are u here for tumblr reasons" bc that's embarrassing and i'm shy. so i just got a drink and felt very awkward & hoped someone would approach me. tried to look inviting and like i was from tumblr but not like i was "from tumblr". when i left some girl stopped me to ask if i was there for the meetup but i was too shy and asked what's tumblr?

in the dream i went home to make a post about how nobody showed up to the tumblr meetup but my entire dash was people saying they'd gone to the bar but were too fucking shy to admit to being on tumblr so we'd all just had a drink and gone home

anadius has made it so so easy and safe for people to obtain ts4 and all of its packs without paying for them and i really wish more people knew about this bc the only way to get EA to pay attention to the terrible state of the game is to literally stop giving them money, 🏴‍☠️ the packs to keep playing the game u enjoy but know they only care about appeasing their shareholders/investors/whatever they are and they're all driven by money and have very little interest in the playable state of the game in terms of bugs and features unless the game is so broken that people are actively demanding refunds in mass or just not buying the packs at all.
