kaladin throughout the books gets told again and again to basically just get over being angry about what's been done to him and his dislike of lighteyes - that everyone's life sucks, that he needs to see both sides, etc etc. and then kaladin's first response to moash telling kaladin about his grandparents was "well that wasn't exactly murdering them :/"
It's like he's recycling how he gets treated. everyone around kaladin minimizes his anger, so in turn his gut reaction is to minimize moash's anger

the worst part is like . I know it sounds like ocd and i know a lot of ppl with ocd and i watch them talk abt their experiences and i relate a ton but then my brains like How dare you relate to them and try to compare. youre just an evil person and youre trying to pretend you have ocd . and its actually different and the fact you even thought for a second "oh thats similar to what i experience" means that you will be a bad person forever and you cant fix it and you need to go to hell. and you dont have ocd youre just actually an evil person. so i cant actually let myself think abt it being ocd basically
#And like you know . i dont actually know what it is and i cant like. Decide i do bc i relate a lot to ppl who do have it . its just even if#i dont say I think i have ocd bc i relate to this. i cant even think Oh i relate to this without feeling like an awful person. you know .#does this make sense to anybody at all. its very very exhausting#also this is phrasing it like being ocd is the same thing as being evil Obviously it isnt i just mean like ik a lot pf ppl with ocd#experience similar like. worrying theyre an evil person and i also do that but my brain says that i actually Am an evil person as opposed t#just. worrying that i am. and that i only worry abt it bc its true. ok .#idk i worry i sound whiny as hell in these posts im sorry 😭 its just rly kicking my ass tonight the terrors#but its like. no matter what i do im evil bc if i think to myself Oh i relate a bit to this person with ocd my brain says Oh youre awful fo#trying to pretend to have ocd you couldnt possible understand your evil. and if i say youre right then its Oh so why is having ocd such a#bad thing do you hate ppl with ocd you couldnt possible have ocd bc you think youre better than them youre awful but if i say I think youre#being a bit dramatic its like oh so what you think you can just claim to have whatever mental health issue you want. you think you can just#fake mental illnesses and use them as an excuse for why youre so horrible youre going to hell youre going to hell youre going to hell and#then it just loops eternally and i cant get it to stop unless i do little things to make it stop like hitting my head or scratching or#pacing in tempo or tapping rhythms . Which yes i know sounds like ocd . you do not have to tell me . but i cant think abt how it sounds#similar to ocd bc then its starting again.#and even the like. posting abt it is hard bc my brains like seeee youre just making it up for attention why do you haaave to talk abt it#where ppl can see. its so you can convince other ppl and trick them into thinking you have ocd . but its just that i always post whatever#i think abt on here this thing is my diary and also if i dont let people know what im thinking all the time it means im hiding things and i#evil . so . this is how it is

The nitpicker arrives. I dislike it when people say testament has “transcended gender”, its absurdly common for something that hasnt been said officially. First off i assume people are mixing up daisuke’s quote about them “transcending humanity”. He essentially says testament is sexually androgynous due to not being human, being something above humanity, which really is not an uncommon idea. Their early coding revolved around the conflation of sex and gender, saying something was going on with them while still considering them to be a man. What i think was less typical though is daisuke’s obvious very genuine interest in depicting testament androgynously in general, and well that intention was fully realized with making them explicitly agender in strive. And really, while its VERY interesting history, that previous statement shouldnt be applied to testament as of strive. Riku ozawa said outright that the team wanted to change how they handled testament’s gender, seemingly referencing the phrasing of that daisuke quote and proposing something new in its place. Developer backyard vol 10 says testament lives “without the concept of gender”, phrasing that has a lot less implied Otherness and lack of agency than “transcending humanity”, especially with referring to gender as a concept. Admittedly this is still attached to them being a gear, possibly still with implications about their body, but its pretty clear that the japanese fandom’s idea of testament’s body being related to their androgyny has changed with these statements and i’ll trust them on that. It was never about identity before strive, i think a lot of people dont really get that. Theres a reason for the shift in phrasing alongside the shift in their portrayal.
Just wanted to ramble about this. Ummm my bad. I love that daisuke quote, i’ve tried to do as much as i can to research it, to find more information and proof of its existence (DID YOU KNOW. Theres currently no actual archival of it’s origin. It was allegedly in a mail-only arcsys fanclub newsletter, probably from the first 4 volumes in 1998/99. We only have volume 15 currently. But it’s existence is fortunately kind of undeniable at this point. I wont ramble further.), but it drives me crazy seeing people both misquote it and incorrectly apply it to strive testament. Okay

I saw a post by @bellenotthebeast about the hate drivers are getting at the moment and this is a written version of what I put in the tags of my reblog because I didn't realise I was going to go on a rant when I tapped on the reblog button.
734 words just in case you were wondering.
All of the hate that drivers get for making mistakes is getting absolutely out of hand. It's frankly ridiculous how many people will jump at the chance to nitpick and be rude about another driver and whatever mistake they made minor or not. (This is specifically in relation to comments taken severly out of a very important bit of context and actual driving moments, if there is something serious then yes I think they should be held accountable for their actions, just because they're rich and in a very elite sport should not make them immune from accountability even though it does appear to sometimes.)
The stuff with Lando is actually sickening with how far its gotten. None of them should have to see that. In fact, no one, f1 driver or not, should ever see or hear such horrible things that people are saying to or about them. The death threats???? Hello??? What the actual fuck were people thinking. The drivers are people too the fans of those drivers are people. Get a grip and don't fucking send death threats???? Is that really that hard to have basic human respect for other people???
I see hate so much. Be it in the comments of an edit on tiktok or on a fan page on Instagram. Even the drivers own comment section and the official F1 account. People. What the fuck. Be supportive of people, for goodness sake. Don't be dicks??? Is it so difficult to be nice to people? I can tell that, unfortunately, I'm going to be using that phrase a lot.
I want to see the positives in this sport too. I think with all of the hate, all the good things have been buried under the swathes of hate and pain ignorance in some cases. I want to read or watch a video on how driver A did something so well, even if it's small and insignificant in the overall. I really want to hear about the amazing defending, even if they did get overtaken eventually. I want to hear about them being so fucking happy with their Quali position. I want to hear them screaming down the radio when they get in the points. I want to hear the feedback on the drive, where things may have gone wrong, and even where people think things could have improved. I want to hear about the track and the conditions and how well everyone did and how the people and the fans and their teams are so proud of their achievements during the weekend.
The thing I do not want to see is - ew i hate driver B. EEK no driver C ruined everything. Driver D should crash into the barriers. DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE COMMENTS HOPING DRIVERS WOULD DIE IN A CRASH. What the fuck is wrong with the people saying that???? That is NOT okay. EVER. Have you not seen how outraged Max Fewtrell was when someone said that they hoped Max V crashed and got hurt in his twitch chat room. He was furious. Saying how that wasn't okay and how fucked up it was to say something like that. Listen to Max for fucks sake please.
WE👏 DONT 👏KNOW 👏THEM👏.
They're public figures, and we only know the public side of them, not the side they reserve for behind closed doors. And for the fifth hundred time, we aren't entitled to know anything about them behind closed doors either. We dont have any ground to stand on to demand anything like that. Because who the fuck do you think you are to demand something like that. Seriously, some people need to understand that this ISN'T okay and the way these people are acting will NEVER be okay.
So just enjoy the sport.
Enjoy the drivers.
Enjoy watching their skills on the track.
Enjoy their interviews and their relationships together on and off the track.
Enjoy the side of them that we are allowed to see.
And stop hating unnecessarily.
Please, for the sake of the sport.
For the sake of the newer fans.
And for the sake of the drivers and their physical and mental health. You really need to think before you post. Think about the impacts it could have if something happens. Know that if your words are seen, that could be detrimental and how YOU played a part in something so horrible.
Thank you,
Ez

Can you do Matt x BPD!Reader headcanons??
headcannons - m.s x bpd gf
Tumblr media
pairings: matt sturniolo x reader
summary: headcannons
a/n: hii! so ever since my adhd headcannons, ive been getting more mental health related requests (like this one!) and i just wanted to let you all know that i don't mind writing them at all, (i also have bpd). but please just be cautious reading these, i do not intend to trigger or make anybody uncomfortable, thank you ily.
warning(s): bpd, mental health mentions.
not proofread
Tumblr media
so like i said in the adhd hc's, matt would be an absolute sweetheart in general, and you'd probably not wanna tell him about your bpd because yk.
^^ (atleast i wouldnt 💔)
anyways! i feel like you'd either slip up and tell him, he'd find out, or.. you having a bad day would just rant to him and tell him
so when he finds out he's like "oh" in like the sweetest softest tone ever (not in a bad way at all trust.)
he asks you about it and then takes the time to do his own research (sobbing)
when you have bad days he tries his best to motivate you and help you be productive
"wanna go get ice cream?" is a very common phrase you'll hear from matt (even if its two in the morning!!)
doesn't get mad if you snap at him and instead, just tries to calm you down and ask you if you're okay or if you wanna just be left alone, he'll do that too
slowly learns your habits, triggers, and what makes you feel better so he's always prepared
always tells you how beautiful you are and how much he loves you. (constant reassurance!!!!)
a common phrase you use is "please never leave me" or "please dont leave me" (something along those lines,) and so this man literally makes sure its engraved in your brain that he wont leave, ever, like ever.
self harm is a whole different topic, i wont write about it unless asked because i dont wanna make anyone uncomfortable or triggered, but, he would definitely help you stay clean if thats something you need help with.
thinks you being impulsive is cute, but makes sure you never do anything too impulsive (something that just genuinly isnt a good idea or something destructive, etc.)
TAGLIST:

i wanted to try my own hand at give the rest of the saja boys names. now, i dont have a very deep grasp of korean hanja (chinese characters used to write korean) or korean hangul but i tried my best with some online dictionaries, behind the name, and 90 day korean. i welcome corrections or more knowledge.
for those who dont know hanja is chinese characters used to write korean words and can lead to similar sounding names meaning different things, even if the hangul is the same, to my understanding.
~ x ~
jinu: now i had done a quick search since im not really sure how theyre writing his name. but i found this transcription (진우) where jin (진) can mean truth, genuine, real and u, also written as woo, (우) can mean friend, companion or house, universe.
considering how his story played out in the movie i think this is pretty funny but also very fitting. he lies to rumi relating to his shameful selfish act (its more interesting and compelling to me if jinu did in fact choose to abandon his family even if he regretted it soon after). but hes still a...genuine (romantic) companion to rumi (more or less, just walk with me okay). this gave me inspiration for how i wanted to tackle the other dudes.
~ x ~
abby saja: okay so. abby has abs and muscles, hes THE muscle boy of the group. so i did want something that invoked images of largeness, strength and power to me. so, i looked for words related to rocks, mountain, iron, and the literal word for strength. i did think about looking for words or names relating to blunt or abrasive or something, making him a...parallel to mira in that way but that was too on the nose for my taste (like the other words arent on the nose lol), so thats just in the headcanon behavior.
so here are some words i settled on:
him (힘) - strength
san (산) - mountain
chul (철) - iron/firm
seok (석) - stone
ha (하) - summer/great/grand
dae (대) - big/great/vast/large/high
yong (용) - brave, perpetual, eternal
potential names (that i like based on sound):
daeseok (대석)
daesan (대산)
hasan (하산)
yong-ha (용하)
yonghim (용힘)
chulseok (철석)
yong-san (용산)
pretty simple. i think my favs are yong-san, chulseok, and daesan. as for a vague kinda backstory, he did make a deal for like...(physical) strength and power but he kinda became like a thug, bully, type guy. if that makes sense.
~ x ~
mystery saja: so, for me, his backstory is vague. its vague in the sense that its also vague to him. i dont know if i see him as the oldest one there, but i do like the idea that he sort of doesnt know himself (not that zoey doesnt know herself, but being pulled between two worlds, maybe in various ways, can kinda connect).
i didnt have a strong through line for what words i wanted to associate with him, but i did look at things that were considered unisex, unique, though not all of them.
iseul (이슬) - dew
duri (두리) - two
eun (은) - kindness/mercy/charity/sliver/money
gyeong/kyung (경) - scenery/view/respect/honor
min (민) - jade/stone resembling jade
seo (서) - felicitous omen/auspicious
haneul (하늘) - heaven/sky
yeseul (예슬) - artistic and snow
angae (안개) - mist/fog
won (원) - circle/complete
noh (노) - willow tree
potential names:
yeseul (예슬)
iseul (이슬)
kyung-min (경민)
angae (안개)
eun-seo (은서)
haneul (하늘)
do you see the vibe im going for with him? i believe angae is simple a word and hasnt been used as a name, but yknow, i like it.
~ x ~
romance saja: the certified lover boy! okay, general backstory i think would be related to asking for love. i think what he had wanted was probably genuine connection but ask for a lover cause he didnt have a full grasp of his desire or something like that. however the deal with phrased it lead to a lot of unfulfilling and failed relationships. basically, his deal doesnt actually give him what he wants and he doesnt fully notice/comprehend that until gwi-ma claims his soul (maybe also something about him being good at reading people, again another connection to mira hehe).
words i wanted to associate with him were related to things that are bright, things that are precious, and maybe some other bits that i like the sound of.
some words i settled on:
byeong/byung (병) - bright,/luminous,/glorious
ho (호) - great/numerous/vast -or- sky/heaven/summer
hwan (환) - shining/brilliant/lustrous
hyeon/hyun (현) - virtuous/worthy/able
hui (희) - beauty -or- bright/glorious/splendid
jae (재) - talent/ability -or- wealth/rich
jeong/jong (정) - right/proper/correct -or- quiet/still/gentle -or- chaste/loyal
jong (종) - lineage/ancestry
jun/joon (준) - talented/handsome -or- king/ruler
ju/joo (주) - jewel/pearl
su (수) - luxuriant/beautiful/elegant/outstanding
u/woo (우) - divine intervention/protection -or- rain
potential names:
byung-ho (병호)
byung-u (병우)
huisu (희수)
hyun-su (현수)
hwan-joo (환주)
jae-hui (재희)
jong-su (종수)
jong-woo (종우)
jeong-u (정우)
part of me doesnt want him to have a name that starts with 'j' just to keep everyone super unique in the sounds but jong-woo does sound nice to me.
~ x ~
baby saja: in truth i have a lot of trouble with him, mostly from my own indecision (as you can see by the fact that everyone has multiple potential names). there are so many ways i think about him that i just think are fun. i keep circling on the idea that hes a menace, but do i mean that in a serious dangerous manner or am i just calling him annoying in a fun way? it can be both, obviously, but in my head it feels inconsistent. im not even sure what could be a catalyst for his shame. unlike mystery where the vagueness is kind of the point, here im just drawing a bit of a blank.
i do want him to have a name that sounds cute (to me at the very least). maybe a single character name? maybe something thats kind of a joke. i dont really know, so here are some that i just like the sound of.
dae (대) - big/great/vast/large/high
do (도) - path/way/road/guide
seong (성) - abundant/flourishing/complete/finished/succeed
ho (호) - daybreak/bright
jin (진) - precious/rare
yul (율) - rhythm/law
min (민) - gentle/affable
si (시) - begin/start
seon/sun (선) - good/virtuous
ye (예) - art/talent/craft
ha (하) - summer/great/grand
potential names from here:
daemin (대민)
do-yul (도율)
yul (율)
seong (성)
si-ho (시호)
sunho (선호)
ye-jin (예진)
minho (민호)
thats all i got for him.

wanted do something more limbus flavored with tres flores and AAAAA !!
this is what you know as Piscis the fish , however here theyre Aquila the eagle constellation , with their other source story thats still them
---
[so this phrase has more meanings in khmer]
imo this whole phrase comes off as arrogant
the start is with អាអ្នក ("hey you" , it hard directly translate but can also be "oh you" or so) can be both seen as undermining , rude , looking down upon , or endearing and someone close to , can also give vibe of poking fun
-
the "my dream , is that i must consume the whole world" can also be read as "my dream must consume the entire world" . can also be "my dream knows that it must eat all the worlds"
it gives feeling of leaving nothing left
-
សុី is more casual informal way say "eat" , youd say ញ៉ាំ as more general polite . it also noted that source story uses ស���ី as its used in terms of animals eating
---
if stretch it a bit , លោក lok means world , but can also mean "you" , or someone equal or higher or respected , also related to monks . so phrase can mean "eat all of you (person speaking to)" or "eat all of someone (a specific someone respected)" .
this can also imply person directly speaking to isnt that important to them , but the other person referring to is more important if 2nd person Is someone else especially as អ្នក is more of a general "you" and more used at people dont know , you wouldnt use អ្នក at someone you know , however អ្នក is much more common in stories and shows
using អ្នក may also instead imply that this passenger is instead more so talking to themself and using "you" as a nebulous concept of someone else , or speaking to us or no one particular
-
its also noted that this passenger's personality is like a scholar and philosopher , they desire to learn about the world and share their knowledge , which can relate back to idea of monks . its implied in tres flores that them saying "oh i , i wish to eat all of humanity" more so mean "i desire knowledge"
however due to context this whole reading of លោក , its again more a stretch
(hope not need say , but plz dont make vore joke </33 kinks awesome but tres flores characters are children coded wuwwuw)
-
it makes us happy able do lot word play :]
---
-about source story [in undercut since wanted focus on word play wawaw]
it about an eagle (that never directly appears in story) who wanted to eat many animals , so he always go to his owner Lord Shiva and says "i dream of eating this animal" and because he loved his bird , he always does so
one day the eagle "dreams" of eating a white elephant (a mother and child) an owl comes by and asks "whats wrong" , then decides to help .
the owl goes to Lord Shiva and tricks him , by fake sleeping , waking up , and saying "i had a dream that i married your wife , bring her to me so we can be married" , of course it seen as outlandish , so the owl says "if you see my dream as false , then why do you believe in the eagle's dream ? were both birds"
in the end they all go free , showing how the word the eagle used word of "dream" to manipulate to get what want , that not all dreams should come true

Again and again and again, the best leftist man can not compare to a woman. I watched a video of a man saying that if he was a woman, he wouldn't want to have a child either. Ok, cool. Address why that is. But then he goes on to say how he wouldn't want to pretend to love being a mother. No shit. Having a child isn't some overwhelming feeling like you're told. But you have to address that. You can't act like there's two radicals of women. The subject of children (for women) shouldn't either being all mommy mama or being repulsed by children. It isn't "my goal is to be fully about my child" or "I am fully myself but refrain from children". Wanting a child is a human characteristic, but you still separate the sexes within it. When women have kids, they have to be loving and provide service. A father is a title of pride, existing is your service. You can't act like being a mother is innately this depressing label without addressing the lack of male involvement. You can't do that without addressing the culture around it. Think about what men have done to make a relationship between a woman and offspring something negative. I dont care to elaborate further than this simple phrase I've created: women ARE mothers, men HAVE children. And thats the thing with these debates on women having children. They ALWAYS seem to lack acknowledgment in the department of calling out men.
And again he relates the pronatalist insistence on birth to money. Ok sure, maybe money has a bit to do with this. Im not one to disregard that. But when you can't see the culture we have created around reproduction, the way we percieve it, you aren't going to get to the main issue of this topic. If this was mainly about "creating slaves" there would be outcry about school shootings. You know what its really about? Male ego. The fact that you live in a male fantasy. Men love our pain, and they love situations where they can connect their dick to our pain. The obsession with pregnancy and birth comes from a male fantasy of devaluing a woman and causing her pain. Reducing her to a ball of weeping maternal emotions (of which they condition her to perform). In fact, they try to increase our pain during the process. But no, again and again, leftist men can only ever think this is an issue of money. Because if its money, they can pretend it's still about them. They need to look deep within themselves and think about how they view the very BASIS of male and female differences. "Women have children while men toil away" men have never worked as hard as women in the eyes of the patriarchy. Sorry, not sorry.
I should be able to live life like a man. If I want a child, it's a neutral thing. It doesn't give me a definition. I shouldn't have to be one of two simplistic extremes. I want to be me, I want the options that men do. When you have an animal with a reproductive method such as the ones humans do, a male accounts for a female. The problem is, somewhere males twisted the truth to take weight of themselves and place it on us. Our part is physical, so it can not be moved on or off easily. Theirs is mental, so they can manipulate their way out. And somehow, it worked. Men can act like this is a game rooted in monetary issues, but I wouldn't play it as the richest woman in the world. Women aren't innately production, they've tailored it to be that way. The issue isn't population and labor, it's the male ego needing a collection of humans under him. The poorest man on earth will still force his wife into a litter of children

ASPECT ASSOCIATIONS, HEART
Tumblr media
TODAYS ASPECT IS THE ONE OF HEART AND SOUL. THE ASPECT, THE TOPIC, THE CONCEPT OF HEART!!!
though before i get into my ideas on heart i should probably explain what this series of posts and mindmap is about. its a conceptual map, expanding and describing every part of an aspect by relating it to multiple ideas or how its a direct synonym or phrase of the aspect, like to put your heart and soul into something or to have a heart/ soul. these phrases or saying describe something about the idea of heart that isnt just having the literal organ called a heart, heart in those contexts meaning emotion or passion or soul.
the mind map can help show WHY someone would consider heart to relate to roleplay or introspection, without me just having to trust them on it. i would like to see their reasoning or how they got to that idea, and i assume some others would like this too which is why i made this sort of simplified mind map. no concept here has a sentence or paragraph explaining it, but through connections and associations you can figure out how something is connected, and if you disagree with one area of the reasoning, like you disagree that heart is about identity, then youll might have a better chance at understanding WHY you dont thin heart relates to role play. if you question why identities would relate to roles, you can possibly talk with another about it, leave a comment below or even search up online the synonyms or associations with identities and roles.
this mind map should give shape to the mental connections we make in our heads, and allow us to explain or share why we think certain ideas fit to an aspect, like how chaos would relate to rage and what ideas or reasons its connected to (chaos could connect to rage because it is something someone who hates on stuff can cause, or maybe it can be connected to rage due to how madness and instability is seen AS chaos). AND IF THIS IS DONE WELL WE CAN EVEN SEE WHAT POSSIBLE REASONS OR IDEAS ANDREW HUSSIE COULD HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASPECTS, like finding out why luck would relate to light. we basically rediscover the systems meanings and associations from the ground up
since i want this mind map to show how everyone mentally associates ideas to an aspect I WOULD LIKE EVERYONES COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO HELP EXPAND THIS MIND MAP OF ASSOCIATIONS. whether you send it to my discord tnttime1, my tumblr, my reddit or in the comments below
Tumblr media
what i find most interesting about the concepts connecting to heart is the "subjective experience" and how it lead to solipsism which is the philosophical idea of only you yourself existing for certain, which can give ideas on your persepctive being the only one, the only real one, the most important one. its an idea i havent thought about but seeing how it relates to yourself and can give focus to yourself as the only persepctive you know matters. i wonder how such a person or character would be, and if being so self focused can somehow not be destructive or isolating.
also when making the connections to the idea of heart i actually noticed how the topic was so internal, i didnt find much to heart that you can describe objects with unless it relates to a person. i would like to find a perspective of heart without needing a person though that maybe asking for something contradictory to heart. the best thing ive found to that so far is theater, specifically the roleplaying and emotion filled part of theater
oh and one more comment, i assume many who read this assume you need to align with the topics to be considered heart bound, but you can also connect or relate to it in an other way. someone who hates love, identity, romance and expression would still have the topic of heart but would be described as a hater of heart, or i guess in classpecting terms, possibly someone who wants to destroy heart or remove love, identity, romance and expression. another way to possibly relate to a topic, maybe you help others find their identity or love or help others experience romance. im not sure of all the ways to interact with topics, though maybe thats more a class thing. let me know what you think about this
oh and for those who want to see these images in a better quality, or want to see the most up to date version of the mind maps, you can check the google drive folder here
i made them all in this app called obsidian, so if you put the files in the project folder i think thatll let you edit them yourself, and id love to see those edits so tag me if you make any

coming back online to share to the world my list of evan things. if you relate to most these things i title you Evan Rosier Kin
note: all of these are headcanons and may not align with how you perceive evan. most of these are inspired by like tiktoks and stuff, but otherwise its mostly things based on me because i literally remind myself of evan so much
another note: phrasing of these may be harsh!! im not targetting anyone fyi, and i dont mean harm, but i wrote most of these in a fit of self-hatred and when i reread them, i realised "hey, this sounds like evan lol" so i brushed it up a bit, but there might still be harsh wording and accusations
last note!!!: i have no fucking personality and im using this to self-reflect so my fault lmao
wants to be an overachiever, a hard worker, but in reality is just a gifted kid who hasn't fully burned out and is too lazy to actually work hard.
30000 different genres of songs on spotify. wonders if that means you have no personality.
sometimes wonders if people would miss you when you’re gone. doesn't think so.
knows 6 different languages, not good at any.
can't take criticism.
ambiverted. wonders if this means you have no personality.
likes a style, but isn't sure you would look good in it.
supposed ‘smart and nice’ kid, but that's who you were 4 years ago. people still hold the same view of you. 
high standards. you've been brainwashed into thinking u can meet them but sometimes, u aren't so sure.
covers the parts of your face u dont like with hair. bonus points if it's a regular ass haircut like a fringe and your parents hate it.
gets overly clingy in friendships. not like physically clingy but mentally?? if you get me
wanna be insomniac. thing is, it just takes you a bit longer to fall asleep.
fluctuating confidence levels
feels like a second choice, always.
cringe culture holds you back from enjoying what you want to enjoy.
the people around you don't seem to care as much as you do. whenever you succeed, you look back and no one is cheering like you always do. sometimes, it feels like you are average or lower, but the people you are compared to are simply even lower and that's why you are supposedly ‘good’.
*does well* “duh, *** is always so good. they don't deserve praise” *doesn't do well or actually just does average* “*** DIDNT DO WELL OHHHH”.
when someone compliments you, you feel pressured to uphold their standard and wonder how long it'll take till they realise you arent so good.
EXAMPLE because my wording is shit: someone told me i was funny and since then ive been scared to text him because i was like 'oh fuk what if when i talk to him next im not funny enough'
deathly afraid of being cheesy/cliche. this holds you back from showing much affection, especially romantic.
shoes are worn half to death.
your answer to theoretical questions is always ‘depends’. wonders if that means-
everyone thinks your friends ‘influence’ you, but really you’re as whack as them, just not as obvious.
a group of people you hate significantly less than everyone else, and one person you love

idk about translations or anything like that -but the attempt for Ochako explaining her pain after Himiko died feels so... analytical in English. It feels anticlimactic in comparison to the fan translation by Pikahlua, and it kind of makes a reference to her feelings for Izuku? Which doesnt have to be a bad thing, but it is weird to me to change it like that -idk if the official English translator was thinking about "preparing" the audience or something??
Idk if im just looking into things but when I read it it felt bad to me, so I checked the official Spanish translation to see if it also made a reference to past actions:
Fan translation: That's why... I'll put away even this wound that hurts all the time.
Official English translation: That's why... just like before, I'm dealing with this lasting pain... by shutting it all away.
Official Spanish translation: That's why... I've been repressing it... this wound and its pain...
Im guessing my problem comes from the over explanation that shifts the focus into, what I think is, the wrong thing: the official EN makes you focus on how she shut down her feelings for Izuku and how she is doing it again, while the fan translation and the SP are more about her repressing/pushing away specifically her pain for Himiko represented by her wound.
EDIT: I know she does have more moments where she cries when she's alone or with her parents only, I know, but lets be real, that paired with the shutting it away + Izuku appearing in the end makes you think more of that scene instead.
We understand then that the stab makes her unable to forget her, and thinks about a crying and smiling Toga during her sacrifice, while the official EN kind of forgets about it? It feels less powerful to me by skipping a mention of the wound, and by adding "just like before" it makes it look like her putting away her feelings for Izuku left a "lasting pain" at the same level of Himiko Toga dying, which. That's just wild to me?? As if her not confessing was causing her a lasting pain???? IN THE SAME LEVEL AS GRIEVING??
Im the only one reading it like that?
Under the cut im going to ramble a little more about the meaning of the stab wound:
When Himiko stabbed her, she fundamentally rejected Ochako.She claimed they were built different, and while ppl like her are able to live blessed lives happily, their rules dont allow ppl like Toga to even be close to that, and just get pitied instead. She did it angered and with flashing images of all the people who rejected her and pitied her existence going thru her mind; in that moment she cant see her caring for her genuinely, or even loving her as she "already" rejected her when she didnt understand her phrase "what do you wanna do to me?",too.
Even tho it was an action to get her away and to push her feelings down -her own love for Ochako, and instead focus on a villain like goal even tho all she has wanted is be herself happily- Ochako doesn't see it that way.
So, Himiko stabs her screaming to not be pitied, and Ochako keeps pushing it, going against what she thinks in order to be honest with her own feelings. Ochako's fear and sadness from before is revealed then to be related to not understanding Himiko's genuinely happiness. She finds inspiration in her and, I argue probably also Izuku, to then declare what she loves with her whole face: her lovely smile, and how much she wishes to be able to be like that too. Free like her.
What is that stab for her, when she sees the sacrificing Himiko? Because in that part she explains about loving someone to the point of giving herself her blood instead of taking it, I believe this is the face of pure reciprocal love. I wondered while reading the leaks why not choosing the "you think im cute?" face instead where she has the biggest smile, so my idea is that it represents something different. That moment was about Himiko being loved by Ochako, and the other about Ochako being loved by Himiko, using each other's languages -Ochako offers her blood not because Himiko needs it to survive literally, but because that's the way she can get closer to the other person; when she tells her she is the cutest in the world Himiko finds for the first time the love she always looked for without even asking for it.
Himiko gives her blood because she can't live in a world without her, but also because for Ochako sacrificing yourself for someone else its what she admires and loves. The best part about this is how they both arent doing it because they "have" to, their hearts already wish this and to do something for the other. It's genuine, it's heartwarming, and so bittersweet.
When Ochako feels that pain, she doesn't see an angry Himiko, or a sad Himiko, she sees Himiko doing an act of love for her. And that just hurts even more.

Decided to just send this in directly but! I have explanations for everything so buckle in bc when i say i have brain rot about this fic I MEAN IT ITS SO GOOD
1. BI BUG CONFIRMATION. ENOUGH SAID.
2. I will never forget reading that scene from season 1 of steve driving bug home w her bike in his trunk and her all flustered about it and i dont super remember what time of day it was in the scene but in my head it was right after sunset where the sun has set but its light creates this contrast that makes everything look cool toned in comparison to whats in the light n i wanted to play w that in the coloring also im a sucker for steve n his big arms so this was almost entirely self indulgent
3. The cardigan bc i needed to. I re read that chapter constantly it gives me all the warm n fuzzies and thats good for the soul
4. The phones were both an “i need to put this in here immediately bc my brain never stops thinking about it” and a filler for blank space. The colors for each are tied to what s3 bug and what s3 are associated w in my head like you cannot tell me bug isnt soft ivory coded and steve is not light grey-blue coded in s3 it just feels right for them (plus i needed to reference the nicknames at least once my very soul craved it)
5. Dustins hat was a lil bit of a last minute thing, i was working on a bigger piece w all of this kids n their looks for season 3 but it wasnt coming out the way i wanted it to so i scrapped it but i still wanted a something in there that wasnt steve or bug related and it felt fitting to put in dustins camp know where cap both bc of his relationships w steve n bug and bc every now and then i think about how dustin felt ditched by the party at the beginning and how heartbreaking that scene was when i read it n how much i just wanted to hug the lil guy bc feeling lonely at an age like that is so devastating it made my heart hurt for him so i wanted to have a lil thing for dustin in there somewhere
6. In the show i really liked the whole bit w steve asking girls out and robin keeping score n before you wrote this scene i was curious as to how you were going to go about it and it ended up cracking me up dude i love that scene if him just being awkward and so not “king steve” suave and i needed to put down how my brain saw that scene to something visual bc it was so ugh hes such a dork i love steves himbo self
7. Follow up is the lil doodle of steve n robin running around high as hell and there was no way i wasnt going to include that somehow if i am given the chance to write the phrase “trash popcorn” and draw robin frolicking i will take it with both hands and bolt
8. Going back to the whole “steve is a desaturated light blue in s3” thing i just wanted an excuse to draw my boy being cute in my head this is when hes helping bug put away books at her job and yes the anatomy is a lil wonky but i luv him and his hair swoops and joes side profile is so very fun to draw <3
Over all come home is wonderful n amazing and i love it n ur brain is so big n full of wrinkles
i genuinely cried when i first saw this im not kidding. im speechless, its so fucking beautiful and everything you drew from the fic is captured SO perfectly i cannot even begin to explain how much this means to me :(((( thank you so so so so much. truly.
the DETAILS ???? you brought the cardigan to life. its exactly how i envisioned it in my head, its BEAUTIFUL :((((( and bug being ivory and steve a blue ,,,, god you really truly nailed this i again cannot put into words how PHENOMENAL this is. the telephone lines being connected with their nicknames, steve carrying a box of books at bugs job, him driving and the setting sub (which you got EXACTLY. it was the same i envisioned in my head writing that scene), the bi colors on the lady bug like are u kidding me !!!! youre insane and i LOVE YOU !!!
steve n high robin doodle is so <333 and the steve scene at scoops with his flustered monologue in the background made me giggle so hard oh my god.
i know you dont know this, but my birthday is tomorrow and this is the best gift ive ever been given. i want to frame the doodles and put it on my bedroom wall because i am astounded and in awe of your talent and still so baffled my fic was brought to life !!!!! its mind boggling and i cannot thank you enough for this experience <333
(obviously with ur permission in reference to wanting to print n frame the doodles because theyre so dear to me and i respect ur talent !!)

A small discussion. We all know ghoatbusters is autisti media, but can we talk about how all the ghostbusters are definitely neuroatypical (except for Winston).
So this is my Thread(i will only be using the movies but i could add so much more with the Real ghostbusters):
So let's start with the easy one, Egon is Obviously Autistic, he is the steriotypical autistic person, blunt, which shows difficulty in communication, has a hard time with socialization and has repetitive and behaviour. (Yes, those are the main 3 traits to define autism according to the dms-5 ), but we can add in some other stuff like he restrictive eating and hyperfocus that arent defining traits but are also associated.
Now let's go for Ray, i see a lot of people mentioning of autistic behaviour related to Ray and well due to Dan himself being autistic. but i will throw a thing out here, Ray has ADHD Not autism, specifically the mixed adhd which brings in the lack of attention along with hyperactivity. (i know the spectrum shows differently in each person but this is my headcanon and what i observed) So lets start, he is very impulsive, and take actions sometimes without even thinking, plus very active, childish, and he lacks a lot of attention like they'd be talking about a thing and stantz would trail off or even start something without even considering causes, like with the proton packs, ray was the first one to offer himself even if it is a nuclear weapon. He could go overboard like when he is asked to scream to the mood slime and goes over the top, and now that's not necessarily a adhd characteristic, but it's common, he is very adoptive and quickly witted.
Now, for the one no one ever talks about when mentioning about neurodiversity in ghostbusters and my favourite Venkman.
Oh, how do i start with this one, thats the most AuDhD person, in the movies the phrases like "Good or bad is a bit fuzzy in my mind" or "dont stare at me you have the bug eyes, im sorry" both the situation, of not exactly understanding the morals or social effects and of not liking to be stared at, (he barely looks at people faces while talking to them) The lack of feel and being rather apathetic, being calm to react to stuff, like on the second on thr mocie when they were being judged and he was telling louis exactly what to say and yet extreme impulsive action, like the way he behaved with peck, his extreme sincerity and plus even tho he is very communicative his ways of communication are very directed as in the need to alrewdy have a theme or create a move. he needs a topic to communicate with people, like i found it so stupid that he used the experiment to hit on the girl on the first scene then he used jokes to die out his anxiety and he is not very expressive and to actually talk to dana he used the excuse of the ghost hunting, and the way he began to freak out about the ectoplasma (now obviously im over exagerating) could be seen as sensory issues, much like ray he also gets side tracked and distracted a lot. It's hard to have two voices in ya head telling the most logical and other one telling the impulsive intrusive thought, and he shows the mixture of the two perfectly. and if you want to push even farther in, we can discuss dislexia. The fact he has to ask Ray to read certain words for him and tell him what it says is already very interesting. (Adding in Bill murray is not openly autistic, but there were mentions about it in old interviews and some stuff in different people mentioning the possibility. but for the section of factuality, let's say no)
It could've been an accident or not, but here we have it. this is my belief that none of this is canon. im not Dan nor Harold remis im just a person who really likes those characters and is also Autistic.

i love this picture of ernie hudson its so silly

Do you have any song/music related headcanons for your fav ships? Like what they'd listen to together, or what captures their vibe in your opinion?
Love ur work keep popping girl! 🤍✨🖤
Ahhhh music, i love it and yet im so nonsensically picky about it~~ i will just project aspects of my music taste onto them since it is quite varied in a way... still i dont have much as what the ships themselves could listen cause im more of giving stuff to each character and then see them clash about it heheheh :3c
And thennnn when it comes to the songs themselves, they're either such shallow and surface level prose or the definition of using words recreationally so getting to find a song that a. like and b. bares some semblence to ships/characters i like its very few and far between~~ IN BOTH LYRICS AND MUSIC if its not both then it wont sorry im super duper annoying about it has to be perfect.........
But if there's something im sure about, is that if Lucas Amato was a musician, bro could lit be Chano from Tan Bionica, with his songs about a fickle, neurotic and/or mysterious woman~ fr a lot of his songs feel like they're about her, so i can imagine Lucas thinking of Cybersix when listening to those songs
This also applies to Joanpher btw, i made them a playlist and i do feel they are all so them. Songs to be added are Dela by Johnny Clegg, Persiana Americana by Soda Stereo and Gallery Piece by Of Montreal, shout out to my most recent friend for letting me know bout this one. And of course there's Villanous Thing but now its kinda normie so its kinda losing the Joanpher momentum~~ (basically, be on the lookout for a part 2)
I'm also planning like this uhhhhh reggaeton playlist for Clone high ships, songs that are x het ship vibes, originally thought of it as moodboard but cmon all songs are about banging, clubbing and either threesomes or cheating, its not going to be too out there so the list is better lol. In any case, reggaeton and Clone High actually are so thematically sound it works surprisingly well, be on the look out for this one as well, i know reggaeton is actually really bad but yours truly has the greastest taste in everything, even in the worst genres ♥
Also if I ever made an edit/amv of a ship, it obvs means that I think that soing goes so well for them and their ship ;3
So what about Ace Attorney ships? The thing this blog is about?...... well damn m8 do you know how highly specific their dynamics actually are?? As much as we can reduce it to "boy likes girl/girl likes boy" the lore of each pair is actually so particular that almost no song can truly conveys all of its Worth ya know...
That being said, Baby I'm Yours by Breakbot is sooo Narumayo fr, the part it goes This I do declare/Trust me, I'll be there is such a Phoenix to Maya phrase oguobuuhbg. I also dig nrmy vibes from Great Days, yknow, the JJBA:DiU opening :v, idk its narumayo to me :P
Kayworth invades my mind every second so all love songs are about them (which is another problem when trying to make playists lol) but i kinda feel Crank it up by David Guetta idk, im trying to make an edit with Cheerleader by OMI cause Kay is so cheerleader frfr but i dont have all the gif i wanna use yet so more things to look out for T<T
.....18 goes well for many of the based AA ships ngl heheheheh :3, but if y'all know a (and i cannot stress this enough) GOOD song bout Older Woman/Younger Man plsplspls let me know, i want some Sebastine vibes in ma life
Aaaand I think that's it for the moment, thank you m8, will continue to pop all the way ;3~~ 🤍🖤🤍🖤

also. just choose a question you really want to answer and do it >:)
currently answering fic writer asks!
17. talk about your writing and editing process
ive been asking people this one since i think its interesting how it differs for everyone, so thought i’d answer it myself! basically i’ll get hit w a very loose concept, and depending on how casual it is or if i think i need to get my thoughts in order before writing, i’ll either jump straight into it or write a bullet point “outline”. basically just a super informal brainstorm, talking abt possibly the themes/ideas i want to explore, some events i might throw in and how best to order them, and/or if i already have a vivid picture of the sequence of events, then i’ll just straight up write it out, no grammar or anything, but w the dialogue i can already picture, explaining the thoughts that the character is having, occasionally depending on how clearly i can already imagine the scene, the “outline” isnt super far off from actual prose. i’ll put a picture from one of my docs at the end, but its all just super rambly talking myself through the thought process.
then the actual writing- i usually write everything in order, bc i need to know where the character’s head is at and what theyve already thought abt in the previous scenes. i’ll keep the ideas from my outline in mind if i made one, but i dont stick to it religiously or anything, usually just going w the flow of what feels right for the characters in the moment means i end up straying a lot from any specifics. “going w the flow of what feels right” is honestly how i get the initial draft done lol, just based on vibes. if the start of a fic just isnt feeling fun, its often bc i tried to start too early in the timeline and am just vamping w too much inner monologue- ive been trying to work on starting as “in media res” as possible, not just per fic but per scene, w only a paragraph or so max interlude before getting into actual events and dialogue. i try to really sprinkle in the introspection in between the action, and to stop overexplaining, i just say certain stuff without context but that the reader can read into and fill in all the blanks, instead of me spending ages rambling abt stuff the reader could figure out on their own. if i get stuck somewhere, i rely on that trick a lot of counting back like 5-10 sentences to see if you wrote yourself into a corner.
i dont really do formal “drafts”, bc i edit as i write. i hear so many people say not to do this bc it gets in the way of just getting words down, but if im going back and rereading what ive written so far to think abt what to write next, i cant rest if i see weird sentence/paragraph rhythms, repeated words, places w dialogue that either doesnt sound in-character or doesnt carry enough double meaning, lazy imagery, etc etc. editing is also fun for me, and easier than writing from scratch, so im still working on the fic but its giving me a break so i can get into writing the next part w more steam. though when i “finish” a fic, i will go over the whole thing again for one last flow check, bc when writing i dont usually read the whole thing start to finish, so i’ll rearrange stuff and not see how it affects the greater rhythm of the story until i reread it in full for the final check. then i’ll give it like overnight to clear my head, then do one last quick reread for anything glaring i missed after having stared at this fic for so long (it usually takes me Months to write even 1-2k word long fics💀). i start looking for a title when im pretty close to done, usually from poems/literature, but if its a more casual fic i’ll just take a word or phrase from the fic that relates to the story in multiple ways.
under a cut for length but heres some of my outline for my transfem hardwon fic. bc it has elements of both “brainstorming” and “writing out the events”
i think i may break this up into two chapters. or perhaps even three. but my problem was that i thought itd be weird to suddenly jump away from moonshine and the crick for one scene only to go back for the whole rest of the fic. but if i have ch1 be the intro, ch2 be hardwon maybe in irondeep visiting jaina and nerman and such and talk to jaina abt queerness after a confrontation w other dwarves, and then ch3 be coming back to the crick for the finale of him opening up to moonshine/the ending smut… i lowkey think this could work. still be a bit of a jump but separating them into chapters will at least mitigate some of that weirdness i hope. ch1 awakening, ch2 irondeep interlude, ch3 homecoming? idk i like homecoming for ch3 bc hes coming home to the crick and moonshine, also the play on words for the smut in his stump, also coming home to his body after discovering his gender. and i want ch1 to match but i want it to be like discovery but also hardwon repressing it. so a word that evokes that too.
i think i need one more scene in here kind of getting into a showcase of hardwon’s defensive masculinity? showcasing all the things i have hardwon contemplating in the finale bc it cant come out of left field in the last paragraphs of the fic. like the idea that hes like. hes “succeeded” at masculinity. he worked so hard his whole life to be exactly what society wants him to be. a cool buff stoic warrior. this was supposed to be what made him fit in, what made people like him. and maybe it didnt work back in irondeep when he was working in the mines, but he could rationalize that if he left, maybe then it’d work. and it honestly has protected him in a way. like on first glance no one gives him shit. if he were more femme than he probably wouldve gotten mocked. but like- exactly. he Was already getting mocked no matter what he does. and hes still not happy w himself.
so for irondeep first scene it has to maybe start w some introspection to bridge the timeskip but have to be an actual example i think. hardwon talking to someone else. maybe like random people he was at the dwarphanage with? random bronzebeard cousins? i need a reason for hardwon to be talking w these people, maybe its some kind of party? to feel like the feywild party he and moonshine were going to wasnt completely out of pocket
and then after this is the talking to jaina scene. maybe the morning after or smth. it needs to be the last scene that he opens up to jaina to lead into him having the courage to open up to moonshine more fully in the last chapter
also idk if i can fit it in but while i dont want to spend Too much time on bodily dysphoria i think i might throw in something abt hardwon never really feeling like his body was right, bc he was a human among dwarves, then a half-elf, something cobbled together always one of a kind and strange, so it surely means nothing that his face never felt like his, there was always that sense of disconnection, now that hes at the crick and known moonshine for so long he thought he’d be feeling better, but its a wound that still lingers
i think moonshine needs to confront it directly somehow. after all the only way he admitted his feelings for moonshine was after jaina prodded him a bunch. scene starts w some hardwon introspection to bridge the timeskip. maybe moonshine finds the hardwon portrait after the fact. or just says like “hey hardwon you know you can talk to me abt anything right?” hardwon is like omg this is so ominous. “um yeah totally. why?” moonshines just like “i guess youve just seemed kinda off lately”, maybe hes been a lot more closed off around her trying not to reveal anything, “and i know you like to keep those walls up, but… let me in every once in awhile, huh?” she asks quietly, “are you not happy living here?” and hardwon immediately goes “no no, its been amazing, i love it here. im happier than ive ever been.” in fact hes thinking like until he met moonshine he didnt even realize the extent of how deeply unhappy he was. like he was just surviving day to day back in irondeep before he left, and now that hes living here at the crick, the difference is like night and day, he still has bad days but its only now that he realizes his “good days” from before were still like so bad. he was so busy surviving before, unwilling to look too closely at himself for fear of just breaking down, and moonshine has opened up his world so much, that only now is he discovering new things he likes (like how much he loves crick food and culture) and new feelings abt himself (security in himself. belonging and family. in a sexual sense, things hes done w moonshine and also being bi lol). and this strange new thing he doesnt understand, now that his brain is letting things come to the surface he’d never had the space to process before.
so he says “its just me. im just figuring things out.” and moonshine goes “alright. i wont push, ik you need to figure things out for yourself sometimes. but…im here for you if you ever want it.” and hardwon is like what am i doing? what am i so afraid of? moonshine opened her home and her heart to him already. given him a special place in her life that she’s allowed to so few other people. she was there for him throughout their journey. if everything before hadnt pushed her away, if she really wants him here, asking her for help in understanding a weird feeling he has isnt going to be the thing that ruins their relationship. cant make this toooooo revelatory bc theres still the final scene but yknow. him cracking the wall a little. more abt him willing to let moonshine in a little but the finale is him accepting Himself after all the self-degrading language.
ends w hardwon admitting that he liked it when moonshine called him pretty. moonshine goes “oh is that it?” and hardwon frowns like its kinda a big deal, i was lowkey freaking out abt it… moonshine goes no no i just meant like. i can do that.

Saw a post the other day talking about how katsuki was abused and why no one talks about it. Cant find it anymore, but i wanted to kinda talk about it anyways
I think we dont really talk about it much is because it just... didnt impact him as badly as it could have? I dont know if im satisfied with that phrasing, but hear me out:
So. Something the author had mentioned was that abuse is a messy subject and it really is. In the end i think it comes down to how the person was affected, percieved the event, and how they want to handle the potential affects of events.
If something happened and it affected you negatively, then it affected you negatively. Conversely, if the same thing happened to someone else, and it didnt much phase them, that doesnt invalidate your own perception of the events, but that doesnt mean the person has to react the same way you did.
A good example i think is how my brother and i were raised. We were both abused for a significant portion of our lives, in fact, despite being younger, he endured more than me. However, when i bring the subject up with him, and how i feel a lot of resentment towards our abuser and our past, he doesnt seem to really register that it was abusive. And i think thats because we just have different tolerance levels as to what constitutes towards hurtful and abusive.
Now, that isnt to say the events of being hit and yelled at didnt affect my brother entirely, but ill be switching back to bakugo from here on out. Even if katsuki didnt register the events as abusive, he still developed traits to mirror his environment in the forms of yelling, aggression, and just very brash behavior, but id also argue a lot of it is just personality on top of that as well.
And he doesnt see whats wrong with how he was raised. we know that from when he was interacting with those kids and he said: "thats how i was raised, and i turned out fine!" Despite being very strict and yelling at the kids.
Now, i feel like i should mention im not excusing any bad behavior. Some people are very brash and opinionated by default, and with an ego as blown as his being a top student and hero material, a person can develop a sort of god complex. If mitsukis way of reigning him in is by literally smacking some sense into him, and he doesnt take it personally in any way outside of a buised ego, then so be it. Not to mention everything is exaggerated in media and if you wanna hound her, go after aizawa and all might too for how they routinely run bkg and deku through the wringer. Mercilessly.
But bakugo still respects them– aizawa and All might– And the way katsuki still snaps and growls under mitsukis hand, but still does settle down, pissy more for show and ego, i think are proof enough he still respects her too.
So whats the difference between perceiving something as abuse and something simply as discipline? I think it depends on the source of whos hand it is coming down on you. If you for yourself trust the person even when you're stepping out of line in whatever sense that might be, then thats discipline from a place of love and care. If you dont trust the person, then i would say that falls under abuse.
(And that is probably the part that gets messiest because human connections and interactions are complex and i think ill spare you the essay of thoughts i have on that... back to bakugo and his mom though:)
I think the best real world example i can think of would be banter. Some things said or done can get pretty dark pretty fast depending on the friend group, context and just what might or might not be on the table for whats a valid joke. As long as all parties are aware whats said isnt serious, then its ok to laugh. And thats what we see in the show. Mitsuki smacking katsuki is framed lightheartedly because it is. We know she loves him, we know he respects her, we know it isnt deeper than a means to remind him he isnt as big and scary as he wants to pretend.
And in something more related to abuse and why they might have resorted to violence as a form of discipline, id argue that sometimes a person does need to be aggressively put into place depending on the person. Me personally, i know i can get like katsuki in terms of aggression and defensiveness, and sometimes i would rather be physically smacked back into reality, than coaxed with gentle hands. In fact, i sometimes take gentle hands as rude and a sign the other person doesnt actually respect, trust, or acknowledge me and my frustration. Again, a lot if this is subjective and depends on the person smacking or using gentle hands, but i think ive made my point. With as brash as katsuki is and the way a lot of people would flatter him, he might have the same mindset. In fact, we actually do in how he doesnt take deku seriously until deku fights back and decks his ass and reminds katsuki himself, while bakugo is someone deku looks up to and admires, *bakugo is still human, and deku wont hesitate to remind him of that too*
*GOD I LOVE KATSUKI BAKUGOS CHARACTER FUCK*
Anyways
The other thing the other poster mentioned was about how mitsuki gave him shit for 'being weak', and to that, i think its important to once again acknowledge context, in this case, culture specifically. In more eastern countries, they tend to have more of a collectivst mindset rather than individualistic, and she was moreso scolding him for putting the heroes and his classmates under stress, as that type of ideology favors the wellbeing of the group rather than the individual. Thats not to say thats a good thing to be scolded about, and she could have used better language, but also ,,, context ig.
Anyways :^ those are my thoughts ^-^ i love talking about bakugo and his character and communication and humans,,,
