an aspect of heteronormativity i don’t get is telling your friends they can’t date your ex
preface: no. don’t get with a person that was abusive towards anybody, friend or not. you’re not an exception to the rule because it will always creep up
that being said, if people don’t end on bad terms, why are you still holding ownership over that person -and quite frankly your friends?
now i can understand if the relationship was just fresh and your homie immediately jumping in dms and i honestly find it crazy that an ex would entertain it because it’s like you just got out of a relationship. give yourself a break (someone people have a fear of being alone and think they constantly need to be in a relaahionship)
but after some time you need to let people move on and you need to as well. whatever those people do does not concern you
you can’t keep memories tied up with a person. have them but don’t think they’re only unique to you. your ex was apart of the relationship to and they moving on
seeing someone you thought you’d end up with become intimate with your friend can be tough. but if things didn’t end tragically and this person is able to move on, is that not a sign that you may need to sit with why you can’t?
the more you dwell on them, having tunnel vision, the greater you are at missing out on your person
granted if you continue to be around, you shouldn’t be subject to jabs by the new couple and other friends every waking second about the relationship not working out. and honestly if your friend group is doing that, honey it’s time to cut them off
and also getting upset that they may be doing things for your friends that they never did for you can be bittersweet. i wouldn’t call that emotional abuse but rather a lack of commitment/passion which obviously made the relationship end. maybe not in the sweetest of terms but no break up is gonna feel good. nobody was at fault, you just weren’t compatible and that doesn’t make neither one of you bad people
i’ve never seen this amongst queer people -at least nonheteronormative ones and i’m sure it happens in ones that are, it’s just very rare. i actually have a tendency to want to date my friends. i want to get to know you then develop further
(hit dog will holler. if it don’t apply, let it fly for this next part)
cuz from my viewpoint, why would i be building that platonic relationship within our dating phase? that sounds like im just bumbling around with a stranger while learning everything about them as im kissing and holding their hand and possibly having sex with them
that’s scary to me. next thing i know, im married to a person and im learning the basics of who they are during our marriage. why didn’t i know you had all these complications before we became partners?
and of course you’re never really going to know how someone acts in a romantic relationship until you get with them, but you should at least know their basic disposition towards humanity. if they not a good friend -person overall- what makes you think they’ll be an even better partner?
i would def let my ex date my friend. cuz honestly im not “letting” them do anything. i can’t control them and i shouldn’t want to. is that really a friend?
and no i’m not exempt from having those bittersweet feeling but i do have the autonomy to dictate how i act around them. the same for them
if you can’t do that and you know you’re going to be combative and lingering on “what could have been” then maybe it’s time to leave them people behind
it’s okay for friendships to end
but i would hate to lose out over something like that. to sever those friendships. like you miss out on a wedding. baby announcements. friend trips. academic accomplishments
like yeah they can be built elsewhere but depending on how long you’ve known your friends thats gotta be hard
if your ex and friend aren’t causing you any harm (instigating emotional, mental or physically harm) then let them be happy with each other
your emotions are valid, but you must be accountable for your emotions/actions and know when you need to dip for your own happiness and theirs. (even if you can’t bring yourself to be happy for them, just do it for yourself)
cuz if we being honest some people sabotage or harm themselves by engaging with things that they know they can’t take. and they should seek therapy
note: i feel this way about divorced people too.

one of my favorite (/sarcastic but not really cuz its like funny idk) things in fandoms is when people make ocs or self inserts or 'x readers' being shipped with characters, but the oc/sona/reader is literally just another character from the source material.. its like youre shipping the characters but didnt want to admit it, so you made a kinsona and branded it as something else..
and its NEVER subtle, actually its super blatant every time and im always shocked when nobody points it out..
i have seen uncountable saiki k x readers where the description is like:
"saiki meets someone whose thoughts he cant read for the first time, and even though he doesnt trust her at first, she keeps proving that she is kind and has good intentions!" you mean nendo? reader is girl nendo?
"this time, he meets a girl whose thoughts honestly match up with her spoken words almost perfectly for the first time!" hairo. youre shipping saiki with girl hairo.
"saiki meets someone whose thoughts are too fast and jumbled to re-" ITS AKECHI, THATS AKECHI, ITS LITERALLY AKECHI.
"saiki meets someone whose just as immune to teruhashi as he is for the first and only tim-" this is hairo again, awe bae you secretly LOVE haisai ?!?
"saiki sees his old childhood friend for the first time in years after an incident caused them to be apart and then they fall in lov-" WHY DID YOU EVEN WRITE THIS AND NOT CALL IT SAIKECHI.
its even funnier when they say its like that characters little sister, but the way they write it is still literally just the character, like their personality, dialogue, even their relationship, is the same..
not all of them fit this exactly, but the ones that take a boy character and turn them into a girl oc to ship them with a boy, it reminds of how in equestria girls they couldnt make applejack and rarity endgame so they gave them boyfriends who looked IDENTICAL to each other.. thats what youre creating, guys, youre creating heterosexual rarijack.

Shinomori is cute. Here's a post.
He is so baby-faced. He hasn't changed at all since he was 22, to when he died of "old age" at 40
(Old age? With a face like that? 40 years old?? Gimme that kind of youth and hotness Shinomori-)
He has tiny eyebrows. Like a puppy's (rottweiler's, for example). So cute and tiny and fuffy
He naturally frowns. Look at him and his mouth and his lil nose
He has a thing about keeping his arms near his chest. He sits with his arms crossed, introduces himself with his hands over his torso, and even walks with his arms crossed toward Midoriya
He has such clear skin for someone who lived the rest of his life in a forest??? Why do Hikage and Yoichi have such nice skin despite living in terrible environments? (forest and vault + abandoned streets respectively)
Is easily scared
They knew their Quirks could be used, but Shinomori got scared of it when it happened. Even though he gave Midoriya his support and access to his Quirk beforehand. Depending on the translation; "it startled me", "you scared me", "it surprised me"
I'm not going to hold running from AFO against him because he knew he was running for his life. Who wouldn't run for their life when it's in danger? Shinomori was being chased by the strongest person in the country (and likely the world)
His sense of self-preservation is probably heightened by the nature of his Quirk to keep him out of danger too. Which makes him all the more sensitive and jumpy to danger and anything that startles him, especially when he has no warning
He's actually extremely tall, but is so socially inept and jumpy it's adorable. He's taller than Bruce.
Bruce is as tall as a vault door that the 2m AFO used.
(Meanwhile Kudo is down there-)
He has such a bad sense of humor that it's cute (his puns off Danger Sense)
It's also adorable how Shinomori just doesn't understand social conventions sometimes. He lived in a forest, so it made sense, but also— Midoriya shows up in the void to the vestige platform for the first time. He has no mouth, no clothes—and Shinomori's first idea is to stand in front of him menacingly and go: "I shall explain. I am Shinomori Hikage." SIRRRR
This.
His Ability is basically like glorified anxiety. What if something is coming to hurt him? If something can hurt him? What if that tree falls while he's under it? And the ideas come so hard they hurt (although yes, it does detect ill intent and that's what sets it off)
He talks weirdly. Formal? Old-fashioned? Listening to him speak Japanese compared to others, it just sounds a bit different. (Translated subs don't show it very well, it's the voice itself methinks)
"This too, is destiny." *about Midoriya having OFA*
Kinda wise or sage-y. He did spend his life in solitude in the forests so he definitely spent a lot of time with his own thoughts. Maybe he found the meaning of life in a centipede or something one day
For someone so cute, he is also such. A fine. Specimen???
Look at those back muscles, dang.
LOOK AT HIS CALVES AND ARMS DANG.

Silver: “………………nngh.”
Malleus: “There’s no point worrying about it here. Let’s head back to the farewell party.”
Silver: “………Could you…go back first, please?”
Malleus: “Silver?”
Silver: “I’ll follow soon…….guhh.”
Malleus: “What’s wrong? ……Are you crying?”
Silver: “F-Forgive me. Uugh…I’m showing you a pitiful sight.”
Malleus: “Don’t apologize. Children also cry.”
Silver: “I’m already 17. I will be an adult next year.”
Silver: “In the eyes of Lord Malleus and Father, I’m no different than a child, but…”
Silver: “17 years ago……my father found me as a baby deep in the forest in Briar Valley.”
Malleus: “…………”
Silver: “Father is a fairy, I’m a human. No blood ties, no obligation to raise me……nothing.”
Silver: “But, he raised me as his own child.”
Silver: “He fed me every day, taught me lessons, and stayed by my side all night when I went to bed.”
Silver: “Fairies and humans are different in terms of behavior, speed of growth…everything.”
Silver: “Few people know how to raise humans in Briar Valley. Besides, my father is single.”
Silver: “How difficult it was to raise a human baby without anyone to rely on……”
Silver: “I can’t thank him enough. I was going to spend my whole life repaying the favor……!”
Silver: “Even though……I still haven’t repaid him anything!”
Silver: “That person is about to die alone in a distant country.”
Malleus: “………………”
Silver: “My…father can no longer use magic, and his body is weakening…”
Silver: “Even if the day comes when I forget everything, I hope I can always support him by my side…!”
Malleus: “……Lilia has a good son.”
Silver: “I’m not a good son. I can’t even fulfill one of father’s wishes.”
Silver: “I want to send him off with a smile, just as he wanted……”
Silver: “I… I… uuuhh, uuuugh…!”
Malleus: “…………”
Malleus: “You said you were nothing to Lilia. “‘No blood connections, or an obligation to raise you’…”
Malleus: “I’m sure Lilia thinks the same way.”
Silver: “…Huh?”
Malleus: “A human life is surprisingly short compared to long-lived fairies like us.”
Malleus: “Devoting yourself, a human being, to wither for your own sake. I don’t believe there’s an obligation.”(?)
Silver: “Father……why……”
Malleus: “…………”
