Could you explain what "pro-shipper" and "anti-anti" are? I see some blogs saying that people that fit in these groups shouldn't follow them and it just feels like there's some tumblr drama I missed.
A pro-shipper is someone who has the mindsetĀ āship and let shipā, and an anti-anti is basically the same and just against anti arguments.
Because tumblr doesnāt understand nuance as a life choice, they tend to turn this intoĀ āYOU SUPPORT *NCEST AND P*D*PH*L*Aā and then turn it into a wholesale screaming show.
The pro-shippers I have come to get to know are more along the lines of,Ā āIf you donāt like it, STOP STALKING THE TAGS JUST TO STARE AT IT, ATTACK PEOPLE, OR LEAVE SHITTY COMMENTS ON THEIR STUFFā. Pro-shippers are still pro-tagging, pro-whatever it takes for people to put yer shit in the right sections, still whatever, just of the belief that human f*cking beings shouldnāt be chased around social media and harassed because they read problematic fic or whatever.
Which frankly, I agree with. This fandom has enough drama without a bunch of 14 year olds fan policing fic in inefficient ways. I donāt like W*ncest fic, and manage to keep it off my dashes with follows and blacklisting of words. If people start screenshotting it to encourage people to go after people, it still manages to make it onto my timeline, and quite literally has the opposite effect.
Or as one person said,Ā āI donāt understand why these kids think they can make W*ncest disappear, itās like taking a fucking watergun to the sun.ā
Pro shippers would also defend Destiel fans if that hyper-aggro section of W*ncest fans came at yāall too. They do *not* defend behavior out of the Kelios crowd, for example: stalking wives, dangerousĀ āgiftsā, hating crew, all of that nonsense is considered, well, not-pro-ship, it has nothing to do with shipping, it has to do with not knowing how to act like a civilized human being.Ā
In fact, a pro-shipper I talk to pointed out that K-club is like, some off-brand anti, who very ironically ships *ncest then tries to throw any other accusation at Destiel likeĀ āitās the same as *ncest cuz like brothersāĀ ānecrophilia cuz bad canon reasonsā, etc etc and sheās basically the general mills version of fruity loops. Fruity Oās.Ā
So itās about the nuance between. You can very well see that a ship is gross, you can very well dislike it, you can also very well see hypocrisy lines and when just GENERAL lines like stalking are crossed which has NOTHING to do with ship and more to do with behavior. But that basically, like,Ā āgo find an actual thing to fight for and help fix our upside down country instead of turning fandoms around the world into insufferable tire fires people canāt even escape into, even people that donāt like the ship youāre attacking.ā
I actually follow a select handful of proshippers, and I gotta say, the most helpful thing with it tends to be that they track VERY CAREFULLY how anti movements in many fandoms actually integrate TERF rhetoric, sometimes even knowingly. Theyāve done stings to get people to out their TERF-based agendas in DMs and take shots of it, they point out alt right nonsense creeping into fandom dialogues.
Iām sure thereās corners of the pro-ship community that I wouldnāt wanna follow or hang out with or whatever. Some probably like furry art or yeah *ncest ships or whatever. The natural solution: donāt fucking follow them, donāt look at their stuff, and leave them ALONE. All the fan policing nonsense does is make noise and hurt people, and if anyone really thinks theyāre going to effectively like, take down Ao3 and their lawyer team, theyāre out of their minds.
Iāve been extremely vocal about not liking W*ncest, to put it in the mildest terms. But under no premise do I consider doing things like making entire group chats just to track downĀ āw*ncestiesā and harass them in mob attacks on social media any kind of good or helpful. You donāt know where their mental states are at. You donāt know why they ship what they ship. You donāt know, and in an MHI-heavy fandom, going out just to bombard someone who *hasnāt* joined in on the K-club hateful behaviors, IDK some nice multishipper that just plays with a few dozen ships in the sandbox -- for all you know you could be the thing that sends them to therapy. Or the grave. We donāt know. And worse, thereās some people so actively involved in this theyād sayĀ āGOOD!ā and feel they were doing the valorous thing.
If someone was posting like, actual p*do shit, sure, report them. If youāre chasing around fanpoling if someoneās anime looks too kidlike for your taste, and then spend hours harassing anyone that ships anything in the show, weāve crossed a line. If someone is talking about actually participating in RL *ncest, sure, find a way to report them to authorities, but thereās no legal ground to chase people around about fictional characters. Problematic themes have existed in fiction since people started writing stories and a new wave of internet white noise isnāt going to make it go away. It just makes everyone in the blast zone miserable and often exposes them to content theyāre trying to avoid.

hi- Iām not sure if youāre the right person to ask, but I wanted to know how to start a fanfic writing tumblr- I mean, Iām just not sure how to start since Iāve never posted anything on my account- Iām sorry if this is an inconvenience-
Donāt worry about it. Iām a little offended that you would think youāre coming to the wrong place š.
Imma break it down for you.
BTW this post is long bc I wanted to cover all bases
ā
First of all, if youāre on tumblr mobile, then thatās fantastic and weāll start with that first. If youāre on desktop, I would like to suggest getting it on your phone because itās more accessible and easier to manage than doing it on the computer. The only time I go to the computer is when Iām going to post fics, but weāll get there.
I know you said youāre wondering how to start posting fics but I gotta give you some advice before that. Because there are just some things I cannot stand when it comes to some fanfic blogs, alright?
Be easy on your color scheme. I wouldnāt put any bright colors because it could hurt someoneās eyes, and sometimes it looks really bad. Going along with that, you should be careful what your second color is on your blog (letās say that your base color was a maroon, and then youād choose a color similar to that/darker than that. Itāll be hard to read the things in your bio, and itās frustrating)
This is obvious, but make sure you have a profile and header picture, itās more appealing rather than tumblrs default.
Turn ON asks and then proceed to do it for anonymous questions, because thatās the only way you get requests. Some people do it off anon but thatās not as common.
You can do this on desktop and a safari browser. Itās not possible to do on mobile just yet. Open up safari > log in > little person icon in the top right > edit appearance. Scroll until you see ālet people as questionsā turn that on. Turn on anon, and edit the box to whatever you want. Keep it short
Turn off āshare posts you likeā and the following one below it. Itās a risky game to play when it comes to what youāre looking at and liking.
No submission posts, normally people donāt submit things anyway. Turn OFF āon blog advertisingā and then thatās it. It automatically saves so you can just leave to the next screen imma bout to tell you about
IF you go to my blog on desktop, youāll see that thereās a theme. My font is different, I have a different set up than most blogs, etc.
If you wanna mess around with that, scroll to the top of page (you should still be on the same page from the anon instructions) and tap āedit themeā
It might take a second to load, but youāll get there.
THIS SCREEN IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Besides the fact that it lets you edit your theme, this is how you put in a Masterlist, and all other links you might want in your bio.
You said you havenāt written anything yet, so there isnāt a need for a Masterlist just yet. But when you DO start posting, please come back to me and Iāll let you know how to put one in your bio, okay? Nice and shiny for your future followers.
If you wanna change your theme go to browse themes, change it from āall themesā to āfree themesā. If you like mine, itās called āAccesibleā. If you just want the font, get out of the theme screen and scroll the screen on the left. Turn ON āopen dyslexic
Remember, you can do all of this on desktop too, it doesnāt have to be on safari
ā
Now onto posting, I have some opinions that might offend my mutuals (oopsie)
I canāt tell the difference, but PERSONALLY, I think posting fics on tumblr from my phone is gross. But thatās also because Iām writing 1000+ words normally and it gets difficult to post
If you want to post fics with more than 100 paragraphs, then you have to go to desktop or maybe safari tumblr (I donāt post from safari tumblr so idk if it works) because tumblr says NO paragraphs after 100 on mobile. There is no restriction on computer
I write in Google Docs, because itās neater and Iāve discovered some hate for Word after deleting some of the shit I wrote over and over. Plus itās an app, and you can open it up on computer. Easy to use.
If you use Notes on your phone, or type directly onto a tumblr post, then thatās fine but you donāt know your word count and itās a little difficult to navigate.
When it comes to formatting, I used to have it be really long. But Iāve narrowed it down to 3, sometimes 4 things.
Summary: this is where I put the request so the anon/person knows that itās their request. (I copy n paste the entire request in the summary part, I donāt answer asks (requests) anymore because itās easier to answer them after I posted).
Warnings: my permanent is swearing, and then I add on (what type) violence, murder, suic*de, gore, etc DEPENDING ON THE REQUEST
Word count: and I do this because I write long imagines sometimes and some people donāt want to sit through 5k words of boring shit
And the optionalāNote: I put this if I thank someone for their patience on the request, if I say happy holidays or some shit like that. I donāt have notes on every post anymore because they just turn out being the same every time
Apart from that, give it a title (make it unique but not too long!) who itās for and then copy and paste the fic in
Iām using my own posts as an example right here, okay. But I have the summary and all of that bolder because itās easier to see, and I want it to be different from the actual post. Most fanfic writers do this.
I also put 2 āās between the authors note at the top and the fic to also make a difference there
Donāt have the entire fic italicized, it takes away the special part of italicizing a word
Finally, itās tagging.
I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT tag things that have nothing to do with the post. Itās my biggest pet peeve and itās because I canāt comprehend why people tag (for example) Katrina Stuart when itās a fic OR A RANDOM POST about someone else
Instead, letās keep it simple.
šø STOP šø
I forgot to mention this. But choose your username wisely. You can change it later on, but itās a goddamn pain in the ass when you have 50+ fanfics you wrote and your Masterlist is nice and clean only to realize that you have to RELINK every post individually
Listen, I changed my username on my old blog, and it took me 8 hours ROUGHLY to relink and fix every individual Masterlist. I had to create new masterlists, with so many tabs open to fix it
Instead, change it before you start fics
If you wanna be a colby brock blog, I have a canon url (which means that itās so fucking GOOD and Iām angry that i realized it was open only a month ago rather than when I created this account) and itās colbysbrocks (itās a plural canon url). And I have colbysecrets too. If you donāt like either of those, I have a couple of other ideas that I wrote down if you want them
šø okay continue šø
This is how you should tag:
(Iāll give an example after this)
Your username first, the person itās about, the fandom (if itās not Colby brock, then something like marvel, etc). Then the persons name, imagine, fanfic, x reader, and oneshot. Then if it was requested
EXAMPLE ONE:
Azurebrock, Colby brock, Colby brock imagine, Colby brock fanfic, Colby brock x reader, Colby brock oneshot, requested
Simple, right? You can even use this method for Wattpad too.
EXAMPLE TWO:
(This is Star Wars, im using my own username again)
Kylorenlovesyou, Kylo ren, Ben solo, kylo ren imagine, kylo ren fanfic, kylo ren x reader, kylo ren oneshot, Ben solo imagine, Ben solo fanfic, Ben solo x reader, Ben solo oneshot, Star Wars
Notice that I tagged both of his names. I do this because it draws more people in, and more people will be attracted to it (however, in the Star Wars fandom thereās a difference between Ben Solo and Kylo-Ren, so you would have to specify in the title Ex. Resistance (Ben Solo) or Struggle (Kylo-Ren). It would depend on which persona youāre using
This works for a couple of fandoms, like twilight and shit like that
EXAMPLE THREE:
(Final one, I just wanted to cover this base just in case)
If itās a request for more than one person. Letās say Colby Brock and Sam Golbach (like a Polyamorous relationship, if itās just about a bunch of people, tag the people in it and donāt put the imagine, fanfic, x reader, oneshot after any of them, it doesnāt apply)
If itās a poly relationship (or maybe more) then do everything you normally do for one person, and then just add on the second;
Azurebrock, Colby brock, Sam Golbach, Colby brock imagine, Sam Golbach imagine, etc
If youāre on desktop, I would suggest putting in a Read More (this goes BEFORE your fic but after the authors note, below the 2 āās). The way you do that is press enter, and hover over the new break in the fic.
Off to the right youāll see a . . . Click that and then you have the read more. I would only suggest using this if thereās more than 500 words, so that if the fic is super long, it doesnāt take up the entire dash for the follower (it takes forever to scroll and itās annoying
If youāre on mobile, it isnāt possible. Just post and you can go back and edit later if you have a computer

For fandom meme-swtor?
Send me a fandom!
This one isnāt as spicy as the Dragon Age one, but I still got Wordy.
Also thereās lots of KOTFE/KOTET/etc spoilers in here, so donāt read if you donāt want to see em. (Looking at you, Chignon.)
The character(s) I first fell in love with:
My own OCs haha.
But more seriously: It was actually Darth Malgus! I was always going to play a Star Wars MMO, letās be real. But when they started posting promo videos and cinematics for the game, my Sith-loving ass immediately gravitated to that guy haha. And then, it turned out he had the same VA as The Architect from Dragon Age, and that was it for me.
If weāre talking about companions, then it was probably Malavai Quinn. Sith Warrior was the first class I got to 50, and Quinn was the first companion that I really got overly attached to haha.
The character(s) I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Most (not all, but most) of the ānewā companions that came in with KOTFE and beyond. I was initially really sour when I realized we were losing all our class storyline companions, and they were being replaced with a new crew of Lana, Theron, Koth, my mother-in-law Senya, etc. Especially when they ā at the time ā said weād eventually get our class companions back, but it would be a while. So I started KOTFE sure that I would hate the new crew because I would rather have the old oneā¦. and ended up liking them quite a lot! Mostly, lol.
The character(s) everyone else loves that I donāt:
Doc is the main one, jesus christ. If you didnāt read my last post, I just really really really do not mesh well with overly sexual and Adult Humor-y characters who scold you with a āYouāre no fun.ā if your OC isnāt into it. Doc is the worst example of it that Iāve ever encountered. I always play a male JK, and the fact nearly all of his convos amount to, āBoy, you and me are going to be up to our eyeballs in vagina when this war ends, amirite?ā āYou donāt want that? Come on, the Jedi Code doesnāt say you canāt FUCK, live a little.ā āYouāre no fun. Well, more for me.ā drives me NUTS. This combined with how he interacts with Kira just does me in. Shoves him out an airlock.
Dark Side Jaesa is another big one, albeit mainly for OOC reasons. I just hate the fact that she even exists, really. I get the appeal of a story where a Sith corrupts a Jedi to the Dark Side, but the way she does a total 180 into gross hedonism while Serving You always just makes me cringe. Plus thereās the fact that straight dudebro gamers are really nasty with her, and sheās the main companion I always see men put into the slave bikini outfit, and just yikes.
Also just a lot of one-off NPCs that everyone goes crazy for and ships their OCs with, but I Ā constantly forget who they even are lol. Attros Finn comes to mind. I donāt hate them! Just donāt get the appeal I guess.
The character(s) I love that everyone else hates:
Lord Scourge, although Iām not sure heās really hated as much anymore. I just remember at launch, when all of the overly invested Revan stans absolutely HATED him because of what he did in the Revan novel, and then flooded the tags with vitriol over being āstuckā with him as a Knight, and having to hear about Revan in his companion convos. It was really, really tiresome! Maybe itās because I never really cared that deeply about Revan as my personal character, but I could not understand the backlash.
Anyway, Lord Scourge is my favorite companion in the game by a long shot. I love the conversations you can have with him about the Jedi vs Sith, and I love the mutually respectful tone those conversations take. (Where other Bioware companions who disagree with you have a tendency to just go, āYouāre wrong.ā and shut you down.) The fact that heās so tied in with the plot just makes me love him more, really.
The character(s) I used to love but donāt any longer:
Cytharat, Koth and Theron mostly. Although this takes a bit of explaining, and is a bit Discourse-y ā because I really appreciate them as characters, but their role and Biowareās decisions with them is what made me no longer love them.Hereās the thing: Bioware has a bad habit of introducing male characters that are bisexual, and then having them betray you, leading to situations where they either get murdered or vanish from the narrative entirely. Meanwhile, bisexual women like Lana are untouched and around forever.
I was overjoyed when I first saw Cytharat. Y'all know Iām a ho for purebloods, and the fact that he was Malgusā apprentice was fascinating to me ā and then he turned out to be a bi romance. I got very hyped for him, only to find out he dies like 5 minutes later ā or if you save him, heās never seen again. Huge letdown.
Koth was the first character I fell in love with of the new KOTFE crew ā I even initiated a romance with him! ā but it quickly became obvious thereās no way to play the expansion without him turning on you judgementally at some point or another. And then, hey big surprise, you can kill him or else heās never seen again.
Theron Iāve loved since we first got to know him in the Forged Alliances content, but that whole storyline where he seemingly betrays you out of nowhere, only to later reveal he didnāt actually, idk. And then, once again, you either kill him or he disappears from the story. It felt like a weirdly shoehorned in plot for shock value, and robbed us of a second bi MOC character.
You see the trend here? I want to love these characters, but Bioware continually electing to do this shit with bi dudes is tiresome and makes me unwilling to invest any interest in the characters anymore.
The character(s) I would totally smooch:
None.
The character(s) Iād want to be like:
None really come to mind? I just want to be a Jedi, come on.
The character(s) Iād slap:
Hunter all day every day.
The pairing(s) that I love:
Haha, this question is hard, because most of the SWTOR ships Iām invested in are between my OCs and my friendsā OCs.
However.
SCOURGE / KNIGHT IS THE BIG ONE, THE ULTIMATE, THE ALL-TIME FAVORITE. Itās really hard to describe just how much I love this ship, and just how much time and energy Iāve invested into it over the pastā¦ 8 years wowā¦ā¦ā¦.. To the point of being almost territorial. And itās also near impossible for me to talk about why I love it, because the version I ship is so personalized with my specific Jedi Knight, especially since it had to live exclusively in headcanon land for so long. Scourge is, more or less, my Knightās support pillar and the thing that grounds him and keeps him humble, in a world where my Knight is surrounded by people who expect him to be a pure flawless messiah. But, I mean. How can you have a man look at your character and say, āIāve waited 300 years to see your face.ā and not immediately ship it. And then I finally got vindicated after all these years when it was made canon!
I really love Arcann / Knight for a lot of the same reasons as the above, but I just really adore his one (1) romance convo haha. Granted, yes he did a lot of fucked up things, but I was so grateful when he had likeā¦ a Zuko-esque redemption. Where he comes to your character and firmly believes he doesnāt deserve forgiveness, and especially doesnāt deserve affection, and is instead met with acceptance and a chance to grow and heal. Thatās the good shit.
Others:
Lana / Warrior and Lana / Inquisitor are my particular jam. I endlessly enjoy the mutual respect between Lana and those particular PCs.
Malavai Quinn / Sith Warrior is a longtime fave, and although I DO love him with a female Warrior, I really do with heād been an option for dudes as well. And I feel the same in reverse about Vette / Warrior ā I do like her with a male Warrior, and itās so sweet and wholesome and endearing, but man I wish sheād been an option for female Warriors.
I ship Risha with every woman ā especially Vette and Sumalee ā and will be salty until my grave that Risha / f!Smuggler isnāt possible, because I love Risha with the Smuggler but she gives me powerful WLW vibes.
Agent / Watcher Two is also a lowkey favorite, but I ALSO wish it could be done with a female Agent instead. Same with Agent / Raina Temple.
Agent / Vector is very sweet, but again, I will be salty until my grave that it couldnāt be done with a male Agent.
Can you guys sense a running theme here?
Finally: NGL I love Valkorion / Senya, even though that ended in pure disaster.
And people around here used to ship Keeper / Lokin, and tbh, I still kinda love it lol.
The pairing(s) that I despise:
In general terms, I fucking hate every single romance that involves the male PC romancing his padawan or underling, especially since most of them seem like very young girls. I donāt know why this is so pervasive in the game, but yikes Bioware. Consular/Nadia is the worst offender, but theyāre all just cringe central for me.
But the big one is Agent / Hunter. This would have gotten me run off Tumblr back in the day, but god I hate this pairing. I mentioned in the last post that I just will never enjoy ships where the two characters actively want to murder each other, but. This just gets magnified for me with Agent/Hunter, where all the mind control and blatant abuse comes into play ā and people have a tendency to write noncon rape fic of the two and present it as ~sexy rivalmance~, which is awful. Add to this the āno homoā reveal where Hunter turns out to be a woman, after getting everyone hyped about a dude flirting with their male character the whole game, and itās just a huge No Thanks from me all around.
And for largely personal reasons I just donāt like seeing female Knights with Scourge. Listen, for YEARS Ā I was treated like a pariah for shipping Scourge with my male Knight, while being unable to find Scourge content that didnāt have a female Knight plastered all over him. Even though he wasnāt even a romance option one way or another, the way the fandom treated m!Knight/Scourge with disdain while ardently shipping f!Knight/Scourge was offputting as shit. And then, after years, he was made a romance option for women AND men, and all these awful people acted like they were robbed, the way people reacted when Kaidan and Jaal were made bi in Mass Effect. Iām so tired. I never want to see Scourge with a female Knight again.

G + I + L + T for the fanfic meme
G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
my method or lack thereof is pretty chaotic, honestly. i donāt really have a standard practice that i always implement. it depends on what the story is about. like sometimes iāll have a Theme that dictates that i plot the scenes out in advance and then iāll usually write them in order but if i just start writing with one moment or concept in mind then i might end up writing out of order. pretty often iāll just start writing and then when i get maybe 5 - 7k deep iāll go back and write down what scenes i have so far and figure out from there where iām going next and whether or not i need to go back and splice extra scenes in.Ā
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
who DOESNāT? my guilty pleasure to read is like really super sappy stuff. sick fic especially. iām not too big on hurt/comfort because i donāt do well with the hurt part and the comfort is never enough to balance it out for me, but people being babied and cared for is supremely My Shit. writing wise ... idk. i probably have a different guilty pleasure for each fandom, each ship. like with baby oil my guilty pleasure was always taylor and jordan acknowledging ryanās excellence because that was so often overlooked irl. currently in kpop i love writing about canon things that i want to see in fic but never do unless i write it myself. silly little details about how their lives / schedules / the industry works that i think can provide such an enriching context for writing relationships.Ā
L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
damn, like ... MANY many times. pretty much every time i open a doc iāll read back over it and fix / change things before i let myself add any more. when i get stuck on a part iām writing iāll go back to the start and go through the same process. then when iām finished writing iāll re-read and edit the entire thing at least two or three times before i send it off to my betas. this is because i want to make sure iām not being lazy and over-relying on my betas and itās also because i get super thrown out of fic when thereās a lot of errors or it feels like it wasnāt revised at all. different people have different processes and newer fandoms always seem to place less and less importance on editing and beta-ing work before itās posted but iām old school about it so i like to make sure my own work reflects my attitude to revision.Ā
T: Any fandom tropes you canāt stand?
i canāt deal with character death at all. i donāt like fic thatās heavy on character suffering for the same reason; i really just donāt understand why you would want to make someone suffer, even fictionally. iām not big on mafia au type stuff. that was something i was actually into in generation kill fandom because as is a universally known truth - gk had nothing but incredible writers and everything they tackled was well done. but in most other cases i find that the fic is too imbalanced to focus on the violence and ~action with very shallow characterization and with little depth of relationships. this one would probably get me cancelled but i really donāt care for a/b/o fic at all. every so often someone will write an awesome subversion of the trope but for the most part it just feels so very lazy to me. i have no interest in reading about the very same dynamics presented in exactly the same way for a variety of different ships. you can just read the tags, see who is what classification and know instantly how the whole relationship plays out. plus iām super squicked by the idea that people are like hardwired to feel / act in certain ways by this random classification that theyāre assigned. it feels vaguely dub-con-y and very gross to me so dnw.Ā

all the class 1-a boys for the "send me a character and iāll list" one ;B
I fear you are going to be very disappointed with this list since I donāt have super strong feelings on a lot of these boys but I will do my best! Iāll be going by seating chart order:
Aoyama:
favorite thing about them- Being an extra person myself, I appreciate a character who also very extra. Iāll admit I found him kind of annoying at first but on this second rewatch heās grown on me.
least favorite thing about them- I donāt have anything I dislike about him. I guess I think he could have a better quirk?
favorite line- āYou like him, donāt you?ā
brOTP- Uh idk? Who does he really hang out with?
OTP- himself
nOTP- Any of the adults I guess? (this goes for all of these kids but Iām gonna say it here and only here)
random headcanon- He practices smooth heroic one liners and poses in the mirror. Sometimes he accidently activates his quirk too and temporarily blinds himself.
unpopular opinion- If people overall tend to like him, I guess my unpopular opinion would be that I didnāt originally?
song i associate with them- Diamonds by Rhianna (but only the chorus. Itās on repeat in his head all the time)
Iida
favorite thing about them- Heās got a good heart and he tries his best!
least favorite thing about them- Nothing now, but in the past he was quick to act based on his emotions :/ Glad he seems to have learned from that.
favorite line
brOTP- Him and his brother, him and Midoriya, him and Uraraka
OTP- Idk if it has a ship name (rarepair is hell) but IidaxMomo
nOTP- Iida and his brother, I guess?
random headcanon- Is the kid that complains that theyāre totally gonna fail (insert test here) and passes with an A+ every. single. time.
unpopular opinion- Probably my otp for him. They just have a lot in common and I think theyād be cute together!
song i associate with them - Ā The distance by Cake
Ojiro
favorite thing about them- Heās a very honourable guy, he works hard and doesnāt take what he thinks he doesnāt deserve. ALSO APPARENTLY HIS TAIL WAGS WHEN HEāS HAPPY OR EXCITED WHICH IS SUPER CUTE
least favorite thing about them- The fact that I had to look this character up to get a summary of his personality because I wouldnāt know shit about him besides his looks otherwise
favorite line- ā¦ I got nothingā¦
brOTP- Ā just on looks and personality alone probably Rikido?
OTP- I mean, Iāve seen art of him and Toru thatās pretty cute but I feel like people started shipping them when she stripped in front of him or w/e and she was like āDonāt look at me!ā which is :///// I just think their personalities would be interesting together, him being a humble guy and her wanting to stand in the spotlight
nOTP- I donāt know this character well enough to have an opinion on this.
random headcanon- see above
unpopular opinion- do people have strong opinions on this character? I would need to know what they think
song i associate with them - talespin theme song
Denki
favorite thing about them- The fact that heās the best boy
least favorite thing about them- He can be kind of gross and he hangs out a lot with the worst boy :/ but at least heās like. A normal teenage boy amount of gross instead of that being his only character trait.
favorite line- that noise he makes when he short circuts
brOTP- Anybody really.
OTP- Donāt have anyone I super hard ship him with? I guess him and Jirou is a little cute but I donāt really ship it.
nOTP- none
random headcanon- Pichu main
unpopular opinion- I have one but itās about events the toonami crew hasnāt reached yet so I canāt discuss it
song i associate with them- Electric Boogie by Marcia Griffiths
Kirishima
favorite thing about them- Heās so friendly! He literally wants to make friends with everyone!
least favorite thing about them- I guess a fandom interpretation? I donāt dislike anything about him as a character
favorite line-
brOTP- Him and everyone in the class (This time reluctantly including M*neta because unfortunately Kirishima is just that magnetic)
OTP- Kiribaku, I suppose. I also think KiriMina is cute but thatās at least partially because those are my boyfriend and my favorite students respectively.
nOTP- none
random headcanon- Would probably be a skater kid if this was a 90ā²s cartoon
unpopular opinion- I feel like Kirishima is a lot more layered than your average fandom headcanon gives him credit for. Like yeah, my favorite thing about him is that heās a sweetheart, but heās not JUST a sweetheart. Heās a rough and tumble kind of guy. Heās insecure, but working on becoming more confident. Heās a stand up guy, but not totally above mischief. Heās just a really interesting character and oh my god is he becoming my new fave boy? What the fuck is happening?
song i associate with them- Gotta Fly Now (theme from Rocky)
Koji
favorite thing about them- A SWEETHEART! GENTLE GIANT!
least favorite thing about them- This is gonna sound so mean butā¦ his faceā¦
favorite line- I donāt remember the exact words but when he conquered his fear of the bugs to pass that examā¦ that was good.
brOTP- I guess Jirou?
OTP- None
nOTP- None
random headcanon- Dinosaurs are his favorite
unpopular opinion- What are the general opinions on this guy in the first place? Idk.
song i associate with them- You know that scene in Shrek where Fiona sings that duet with that bird and the bird explodes. That. Not the actual song, just that rendition of it, in that scene.
Sato
favorite thing about them- idk why but his quirk strikes me as funny
least favorite thing about them- not a fan of his costume. itās not the worst costume thoughā¦ I guess
favorite line- just him explaining his quirk
brOTP- nobody right now but I feel like if someone came along with an eating related quirk, or was just a big eater, theyād get along well
OTP- see above
nOTP- none
random headcanon- so canonically heās a good baker, especially with deserts, but I bet he sucks at cooking.
unpopular opinion- donāt really have one
song i associate with them- cooking by the book (from lazytown)
Shoji
send me a character and iāll list:
favorite thing about them- TOL
least favorite thing about them- Iām not a fan of his whole design. It makes meā¦ uncomfortable.
favorite line- not sure
brOTP- I guess just based on personality, Tokoyami? Not sure how much they interact though
OTP- none
nOTP- none
random headcanon- would never lose his earpods but would also never own them
unpopular opinion- idk
song i associate with them- handyman by awolnation
Sero
favorite thing about them- If Iām being perfectly honest, the only reason I like this character as much as I do is because of a mob psycho crossover fic where he and Mob effectively replace M*neta (Mob literally by like taking his spot at UA, and Sero through their similarish quirks). Donāt know much about his canon character traits but if heās anything like in that story heās cool by me
least favorite thing about them- that he could replace the bad one mentioned above but does not.
favorite line- none
brOTP- none
OTP- none
nOTP- none
random headcanon- will try to tape anything he can together and call it fixed.
unpopular opinion- I donāt know a lot about how this character is viewed so I couldnāt say
song i associate with them- Tape Song by The Kills
Tokoyami
favorite thing about them- heās just REALLY funny like he tries to be dark and mysterious but heās justā¦ not. itās great.
least favorite thing about them- not something I hate or even dislike so much as something Iām dying to know: whatās up with the head? apparently thatās not part of his quirk so??? whatās going on there???
favorite line- most things that come out of his mouth are gold
brOTP- Tsuyu
OTP- Also Tsuyu! I like them a lot as bffs and bf/gf!
nOTP- none that I can think of.
random headcanon- Meta Knight main
unpopular opinion- I donāt think I have one? I think most people like this character and agree with what I said soā¦
song i associate with them- Linkin Parkās entire discography.
Todoroki
favorite thing about them- I guess you could say heāsā¦ a pretty cool guy ;^)
least favorite thing about them- HIS HERO NAME IS SO DUMB. SO DUMB. I GET MAD EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT. WHY IS BAKUGOUāS DUMB NICKNAME FOR HIM SO MUCH BETTER. IāM MAD.
favorite line- Not a line, but I liked when he finally used his fire power, reclaiming it from his asshole dad.
brOTP- Him and Momo I guess. Also him and Midoriya.
OTP- If I MUST choose, I guess Tododeku.
nOTP- Notp sounds so harsh but honestly? I donāt ship him with anyone. so kind of sort of everyone applies.
random headcanon- I saw a comic someone made suggesting he likes to do goofy things when only one person is watching because no one will ever believe it happened. I like that.
unpopular opinion- I donāt really like either of Todorokiās most popular ships. I have a hard time imagining a reason outside of school Momo and Todoroki would ever hang out, and even then I canāt see anything growing there beyond friendship. As for Midoriya and Todorokiā¦ I can see why people ship it I guess, but as someone who came into the fandom knowing that was a fairly popular ship the moment that launched it didnāt even phase me, at least not in that way. It wasnāt until my second watching that I realized that was probably what started the ship and I feel like not a whooole lot has happened between them since? At least not to my knowledge. Todoroki, in my opinion, isnāt close enough to ANYONE yet for romance to be a viable option.
song i associate with them Hot nā Cold by Katy Perry
Bakugou
favorite thing about them- when he gets bullied
least favorite thing about them- literally told someone to kill themselves
favorite line- DEKUUUU! DID YOU JUST BLINK YOUR EYELIDS?! YOUāRE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!!
brOTP- I kind of like the concept of the Bakusquad.
OTP- KiriBaku (though Iām fine with Bakugou just being alone too)
nOTP- BkDk
random headcanon- Dark Pit Main
unpopular opinion- Bakugou is not the worst student and I donāt hate him.
song i associate with them- Boom by Black Eyed Peas
Midoriya
favorite thing about them- A sweet boy! Works his ass off all the time!
least favorite thing about them- His heart is in the right place, but he can be very reckless with his own safety.
favorite line- Iām the Deku that always does his best!
brOTP- Iida, Todoroki (ig)
OTP- IzuOcha!
nOTP- BkDk
random headcanon- Since you wanna be cute and shit this one is just for you: Someone once tricked Midoriya into thinking he ate a pot brownie and he cried for an hour (āWhat will mom think?! What will All Might think?!ā)
unpopular opinion- Iāve seen some people say they donāt like Midoriya as a main character because likeā¦ his character is boring? Donāt agree with that. Not sure how popular that opinion is though.
song i associate with them- Zero to Hero from Hercules
Ughā¦ Mineta
favorite thing about them- Nothing.
least favorite thing about them- The fact that heās still alive
favorite line- none
brOTP- none
OTP- none
nOTP- none
random headcanon- I try not think about Mineta more than absolutely necessary (meaning heās either in front of me or being discussed) so none.
unpopular opinion- Mineta is infinitely to the infinite power times worse than Bakugou is and/or will ever be, and unlike Bakugou, does not deserve the character development heās apparently getting. Since Horikoshi is too much of a perv and a coward to literally kill him, the next best thing would be to let him die metaphorically of irrelevance. But I know he wonāt do that either.
song i associate with them- none

just wanted to write out a bunch of My Hero thoughts/opinions because idk anybody else who watches it (or who would want to), but i don't really want to get into deep enough into the fandom to see the #drama
so, a bunch of random shit in no particular order:
- this is more about my relationship with anime in general but.... i always feel like i need to put a disclaimer on My Anime Opinions because of the perviness and fanservice and sexualization. itās frustrating because the āshounenā genre (and yeah i know itās not exactly a genre. whatever) caters to my interests in so many other ways!!! big, flashy battles, cool powers and magic systems, huge emphasis on The Power of Friendship, cheesy humor, great animation, everything is all kinds of HYPE and EXCITEMENT and FUN....but since shows like this are targeted towards teenage boys and often made by horny men, thereās also Boobs and token pervert characters that serve as an excuse to show More Boobs or Fantasize About Boobs. and the womenās powers are either ālook iām a girl!!!ā (there were a couple of women early on in hunter x hunter whose powers were....sewing and vacuuming?? seriously??? and then another one later on who was an older woman who chose to make herself look like a little girl as her superpower??) or āwhatās a power-related excuse to make these costumes As Skimpy As Possibleā (cough cough Momo and Hagakure cough cough) or even having NO excuse (what the fuck, Bubble Girl, i know it was a fan design contest thing but that never should have been accepted it makes no sense i--) and thatās. really damn tiring and annoying. mha hasnāt quite crossed the line for me yet overall -- meaning my disgust with grape trash and other gross tropes hasnāt outweighed my enjoyment of every other aspect of the story and characters, and i hope that never becomes the case. (i tried to watch 7 deadly sins on netflix and??? the main character gropes an unconscious woman in literally the first episode with no consequences???? no fucking thank you!!!!! iām OUT)
- anyway if anybody reads this and has any show recs that hit that Good Shounen Hype vibe with good animation, fantasy/sci-fi/superpower elements, but minimal (or nonexistent??) Creep Vibes, please send them my way. i know there are a bunch of good slice-of-life or comedy or drama shows that have queer themes and sensitive storytelling but man.....if thereās no magic or dragons whatās even the POINT
- on a related note, god fucking bless every āAU - M!neta M!norou Doesnāt Existā fic on ao3, and everyone who makes every member of class 1-a queer in some way or another, so i can get my cool powers and great characters and dramatic plots without the threat of disgust and frustration
- also i just read the School Briefs series and while there were entirely too many chapters/sections that focused on grape trash, it WAS mentioned that Tiger of the Wild Wild Pussycats is canonically a trans man (who hasnāt been killed off!), and Shinso Hitoshi became the only man at UA I respect with one line: āHeās gotta be expelled for sexual harassment one of these days, right?ā
- seriously, if shinsoās transfer gets approved i would literally rather have grape trash expelled than whoever ends up being the traitor (if itās a hero course student. i honestly donāt really care about traitor speculation/theories).
- and yes āonly man i respectā includes aizawa and every other 1-a boy who just!! lets shit happen with barely a comment!!! again, bless every fic where grape trash gets expelled early on or at the training camp because Hey, What He Does Is Fucked Up Actually and maybe someone who consistently disrespects and violates his peersā boundaries and privacy shouldnāt be accepted as a HERO without getting some behavioral therapy first???? same kinda goes for bakugo too though, they really need to address his anger issues and beef with mido beyond āletās force them to team up in high-stress situations even though this boy basically tried to obliterate the other one on, like, the second day of class. theyāll probably work it out!!ā
- and on the subject of bakugo! i really fucking canāt ship him romantically with mido as their history and relationship stands in canon. (this is not meant to shame anybody for shipping it, i just want to articulate why itās a notp for me personally. expressing my opinions is the point of this list.) i can see the foundations -- mido obsessed with baku, baku constantly frustrated by yet aware of mido, both of them being drawn to each other and tangled up in each otherās ideas of what it means to be a hero. but. baku made midoās entire childhood hell. rejected and abused him for something he couldnāt control, ostracized him from all of his peers, mocked his passions, crushed his dreams, told him to jump off a roof. of course mido still clung to him--bakuās strong and smart and talented, and he was the only friend mido ever had, the only friend he had left, the āheroā he could see in his own life.
but at UA he has other friends, other heroes, people who support him and believe in him. itās his chance to step outside of bakuās shadow and see his own self worth. and itās bakuās chance to see how wrong he was, and outgrow his anger and prejudice!! see others as his equals instead of his inferiors! but itās gonna take years for that to happen for both of them, and while i can see them becoming partners and friends who can finally talk to each other on the same level, and work together better than anyone because they know each other so damn well after everything they went through....i think they need to do that healing and growth separately, for the most part.
and like...okay, disclaimer, i am fully asexual and aromantic, so while i love reading shippy fics, there are some things i just cannot fucking understand or relate to. the whole āsexual tension between people who hate each other but canāt stop thinking about each otherā or āarguments turn into make-out sessionsā thing is just beyond me. if i hate a person i Do Not Want to be around them! at all!! so the idea that baku treats mido like that BECAUSE heās attracted to him?? incomprehensible.
and on midoās end, no matter how much he respects or admires baku, or even if he was endlessly infatuated with/attracted to him when they were younger, why the FUCK would he want to stay with someone who made him feel like dirt for so long, when heās finally surrounded by people who love him fully and unapologetically? i want him to have more self-respect than that. i honestly, truly want to see baku grow and develop to the extent that he and mido can stand on the same level as equals. i want to see mido unashamed and unafraid, i want baku to apologize and mean it, i want mido to forgive him, i want baku to become the kind of hero mido always believed he could be.
but to me, that depth and complexity of relationship (while very very very good!!) is NOT the same thing as a romance, and turning it into one feels wrong when the foundations of it are just....baku tormenting mido, while mido had nothing and no one else to turn to. (his mom is great, but a parent is not the same as a friend, and she was literally the only person in his life who cared about him while baku and his cronies were beating him up and ridiculing him in front of teachers who turned a blind eye.) if they had been equal rivals from the beginning, with mido able to hold his own physically, socially, and/or emotionally instead of being left bruised and battered in the dirt every time, then sure! rivals to lovers, have at it. but for me, thereās gotta be that give-and-take.
i havenāt read shippy fic for those two and iām sure thereās a lot of great stuff!! iāve read platonic bk//dk-centric fic by writers who DO ship them and write mostly shippy stuff, and their take on that relationship is great and engaging and everything. but i feel like, to me, even when the growth and development of their canon-based relationship is handled really well, itād feel wrong to me as soon as it turned romantic.
- .....which is one of the reasons why todo//mido is my JAM. bonding over shared loneliness and trauma, respecting each other as rivals right from the beginning, the contrast of chatty and sunny mido with quiet and calm todo, hurt/comfort on both sides, navigating their relationships with the people who have hurt them so much in the past, the capacity to be gentle and tender with each other while remaining passionate and dedicated rivals, growing and healing together, that good good Pining because neither one of them believes that they deserve the other, all of it!!! now THAT i can relate to and understand and see as the basis for romance. mido changed todoās whole damn worldview in ONE FIGHT after todo spilled his whole tragic backstory to mido in their second conversation.
even so (and again, this might be ace/aro me not relating) i kinda roll my eyes whenever a fic emphasizes how attractive they find each other right away (especially on todoās end, when mido is consistently described as plain or unremarkable). worst offenders are when they ~just so happen~ to be EXACTLY each otherās ātype.ā like, alright, sure, i gUESS.
itās just so much more interesting to me if attraction follows affection instead of the other way around? especially in the context of canon events. but whatever, love at first sightās just not my thing. never has been. and i like the idea that even though the start of their friendship is so chaotic and rushed in some ways, it still takes them time to get to know each other and come to terms with their own feelings. (slow burn slow burn SLOW BURN)
- okay those are all my more sincere/serious opinions
- i know canon is like āstop being such a crybaby :/ā but mido crying all the time is one of my favorite things about him and i hope it never goes away, at least not completely
- some fics have mido getting growth spurts and getting really tall, and itās an anime trope that getting taller parallels character growth/maturity (like Ed growing up in FMA after being short and mad about it was one of his defining characteristics for so long) but again......i just want him to stay short....please let my boy stay a small overemotional nerd.... hori please iām begging you
- Ā itās hilarious to me that the ādabi is a todorokiā theory is present in almost every single damn fic where that character makes an appearance. personally i have no stake in the theory (wouldnāt be surprised if itās true, wouldnāt be disappointed if it isnāt) but i feel like itās never gonna die even after his identity is truly revealed
- apparently shinso/kami is a decently popular ship and i.....have no idea if those two have ever interacted at all?? did they talk to each other in the show or in the manga or some side story and i missed it? are they popular JUST because they parallel eraser//mic to some extent??? or is it purely a case of āthose personalities would be fun together--SHIP TIMEā?? idk i donāt get it but itās funny
- back to School Briefs, thereās a neat Kendo-centric chapter during the school festival that ends up being an introspective on kendoās relationship with her own gender and the idea of performing femininity for the beauty pageant and it kind of rules??
- thereās also an entire chapter from the pov of kodaās bunny during their first couple days in the dorms. apparently koda canāt understand animals, he can just control them by talking to them!
- in shinsoās chapter he overhears the dance squad talking about the sports festival and he hears mido talk about how useful and great shinsoās quirk will be for hero work and shinsoās like ā!!! thank you???? finally???ā and then resolves to get stronger and make it into the hero course before they meet again
- during the school festival when mido ran off to make eriās candy apples, iida and todo were like āis he running into trouble again?? can he PLEASE tell us where heās going? we would track his phone but he never brings it with him anyways!!! what are we supposed to do about him!!!!ā and then they found out what he was doing and went āoh ;u;ā
- School Briefs in general (minus grape trash sections) were exactly the kind of āslice of life but there are superpowersā fluffy nonsense i always crave, would recommend
- also hilarious: baby mido in fic (especially de-aging fic) is often either a) the Most Precious Sunshine Child in Existence, even villains canāt help but adore him, or b) the most obnoxious, borderline-creepy, whiny little brat in existence, No Wonder Baku Couldnāt Stand Him. i imagine the ārealityā would fall somewhere in the middle and itās always a little jarring when authors so solidly fall on one extreme or the other lmfao
- just bnha fanfic things: āis this an intentional use of All for One vs One for All or was it a typo/mistake on the authorās part??ā
- thatās all iāve got for now yall i love these characters

Please can you explain Victor and the f**kin' dishes and why somebody considers it problematic. I've only been around the YoI fandom for about a month and I've stayed very much on the edge (I'm in the VLD fandom - that's enough drama for me and then some), so I've missed a lot of the discourse and I just don't?? Understand?? This??
Youāve only been in the fandom about a month? Oh you sweet summer child. Youāve missed some interesting drama lol. (though to be fair what Iāve heard out of the VLD fandom, this may be nothing compared to some of the crap the VLD had done.) This explanation is gonna require some backstory. This may be long-winded, Iām sorry.Ā
First of all, there are a couple ant/ blogs that have the phraseĀ āwithout the shitā in the url. Two blogs in particular, an art one (soĀ āy0i art without the shitā) and a fic one. (More recently a general blog and a gif blog have popped up, but theyāre not important to this story.)
On their blogs, they only reblog āsafeā art and fics. Thatās their entire theme and purpose. They only reblog safe and pure fanworks. Of course, this means no 0tayur1 (or YP/JJ, or any ship withĀ āminors and adultsā aka any Yurio ship because these people donāt like shipping him with anyone). They donāt reblog works thatĀ āsexualize minors.ā Etc. You get the gist.Ā
They wonāt even reblog fanworks from people who are guilty of those things. Even if the subject of the post itself wasnāt a Bad Ship. This artist drew a cute, pure, fluffy v1ctur1 piece? Nope, they wonāt reblog the v1ctur1 art, because that artist drew 0tayur1 making eye-contact once upon a time, that artist is now forever tainted as a gross pedophilic shipper. Even if they have problematic ships in other fandoms, they wonāt reblog from them. āThis artist supports a sha/ad1n ship? Nope, theyāre a nasty artist and will never be reblogged on this blog. They like KS or capt1v3 pr1nc3? Theyāre a Bad Person too.āĀ
The two blogs are run by two different people, so they have different lists of what is and what is not allowed. Ranging from āno 0tayuriā to no stripper AUs to no omegaverse to no genderbends to noāproblematic or homophobic tropes.ā
These Bad Tropes include such hits as:
āYurio Calling V1ctur1 Disgustingā (for being all lovey-dovey and flirting with each other I assumeā¦ apparently Yurio being grossed out or annoyed by them having PDAs is homophobic)
āYuuri Being Cold to Viktorā
āV1ctur1 Having Sex at the Banquetā
āViktor Trying to Get Yuuri Drunkā
And my personal favorite Bad Trope: āViktor and the fucking dishes.āĀ
Thereās been a running gag since early on in the fandom, that, once they start living together, V1ctur1 will get into small arguments over dishes. Like Viktor will forget to do the dishes, and Yuuri will get annoyed with him and tell him to wash the dishes and like hold a kiss over his head until the dishes are done. Just a stupid, harmless joke about being domestic. Right?
Welp Iāve legit seen people argue that this is heteronormative. (Do same-sex couples not wash dishes? I didnāt realize arguing over whose turn it is to wash dishes was a straight couples thing. I guess college roommates all over the country are straight couples.) And according to ant/s, itās homophobic somehow too.
So the dishes trope is problematic because itāsā¦ idk, I guess v1ctur1 isnāt allowed to have normal silly domestic spats over chores?Ā
I guess, according to ant/s, itās unhealthy to sometimes argue over chores and couples should never argue at allā¦even though theyāre human beings and misunderstandings happen no matter how in love you are with someone because no one is perfect, and so long as you communicate and talk after an argument, itās healthy and normal. To ant/s and their purity culture, v1ctur1 are too superior to have something as mediocre as the occasional disagreement in their relationship.
I can understand why people are annoyed with the dishes thing. Itās a tired, unfunny joke. But itās nothing to call aĀ āproblematic trope.ā Itās annoying and dumb at worst, but it is not problematic or homophobic. Like come on people, please go outside.
So yeah, thatās whereĀ āViktor and the dishesā comes in. Sorry for the novel.
Some further backstory to complete this saga though.Ā
Around May, it came out the the fic blog had aĀ āshitlist.ā A private list that they shared with other ant/s so they would know which writers to block. Someone posed as an ant/ to get their hands on this list, and released it, and exposed the fic blog for having aĀ āshitlistā of writers in the fandom.
That little incident brought more awareness to these āwithout the shitā blogs, both the fic and the art blog. Some people were aware of their existence, but not many until this shitlist came out.Ā
Some people had a field day with this drama and were more amused than anything, trying to create art/fics to get onto the shitlist, like some badge of honor. Others were understandably pissed at these blogs for quite literally calling certain fanworks āshit.āĀ People work hard on their art and fics. Itās so wrong for these ant/ blogs to call their work āshitā just because they donāt like the ship.
Now I can imagine running a blog with a complex tagging system, that way people can blacklist things that trigger them and also easily find art and fics that will suit them. But that was not the case with these blogs obviously. I hate to use the wordĀ ādiscriminateā so lightly, but they were essentially discriminating against 0tayur1 shippers under the guise of āthis blog is a safe space and only reblogs safe works!!ā.
After the shitlist was released, the fic blog password-protected for a few days (probably because they got an influx of asks from writers begging to be put onto the shitlist lmao) and then came back later. And now these blogs are continuing to reblog onlyĀ āsafeā works, while deeming all other works asĀ āshit.āĀ

Ok:
Luna, youāre the best. Youāre smart, youāre talented, youāre dedicated, youāre creative and caring, a wonderful listener, so much fun to debate with,Ā and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Iām so grateful for everything youāve helped me with ever since we started talking; I respect your resolve. Youāre unique andĀ amazing, and Iām so, so sorry this is happening to you.
I wonāt go into detail because itās a complicated story thatās also way too long, but Iāve sort ofĀ felt that way before tooĀ (thinking it might be betterĀ if I just disappeared/wishing I didnāt exist/feeling worthless). It sucks.
I donāt know if thisāll help, but just know that Iām always here to listen if you need it. You can Email me (though I guess thatās probably not an option lol) or just, like, I donāt know, maybe post something on the blog like āEvans can we talkā and Iāll definitely see it and respond because I stalk thisĀ place 24/7 (Evans is a creep please donāt encourage her). Iāve also been considering finally getting a tumblr so maybe weāll be able to PM each other sometime.
Thereās absolutely nothing to apologize for. Itās really brave to talk about stuff like this (I never can). And if thereās any way I can help, please, let me know.
Ā (Also, funny story (itās actually gross and is basically just Evans whining about stuff):
I know from experience that stomach-related sicknesses suck. When I first started taking swimming lessons I was an idiot with zero stamina who could barely swim halfway across the pool without coming up for air, so needless to say, I ended up gulping a ton of water (especially since my teacher didnāt go easy on me; mom told her not to because Iām a sloth and I usually wonāt do any exercise on my own besides simple stretches and some walking/running). I mean, the water in swimming pools is usually a bitĀ disgusting, and itās even worse where I take lessons because itās a pretty old place and I donāt think it gets cleaned that oftenā¦ so not only didĀ accidentally swallowing it triggerĀ my clean-freak senses,Ā I also ended up with a terrible stomachache. I thought it was fine, that it would pass. But then I gotĀ a fever and every other thing I ate made me feel like someone was twisting my intestines from the inside, I couldnāt even lie down and rest for a sec because whenever I moved or tried to change positions it got even worse ;p; (also my mom never let it go, she kept jokingly 'remindingā me that water from a swimming pool is not something you should drink after I started swimming again. I guess I kinda deserved it, though. I was an idiot))
That sounds so lovely <3 Iād really love to go visit Norway myself sometime, though Iāll probably have to wait a few years (my mom has back problems that make it painful for her to stay in one position for too long, so long plane/car rides are a huge no). And oooh if you have any good pictures Iād love to see them :D
Thanks, Iām glad I managed to explain my shipping reasonsĀ (like itās so hard to properly talk about why I ship stuff sometimes XD)! I would give anything to have you join me in Stoki hell so let me justĀ recommend basically the entire Remember This Cold series (itās angsty as heck so proceed with cautionā¦there are bits of humor and fluff in there, though, and then some extremely rare (almost) pure fluff fics. Like the one where Steve wants to propose but is a nervous bean because Lokiās a PRINCE and he wants to make it perfect). Iāll also try to find some more good fics later becase I canāt remember any titles right now ^^;;
YES ANOTHER T'CHALLA FAN I adore this guy (also I feel like he has a really cool voice. Not really sure why, it just sounds so nice). I really respect him for his attitude towards Steve and Bucky after he figures out Buckyās not the real murderer, and how he later stops letting his anger towards his fatherās killer consume him.
Weāll fangirl over the Black Panther movie together when it comes out, wonāt we *schwing*
(right after I wrote 'schwingā I got this mental image of Hisoka having his glowing, expolsive schwing moments after seeing T'Challa. And then Hisoka schwinging in theater while watching MCU movie fight scenes. Why am I like this)
I can draw, but I donāt know how to animate so these memes will never be a thing ;-; itās so sad, Iāve got everything planned outā¦everytime eyes are mentioned the screen zooms in on Illumiās eyes (yes even when Illumiās not in the song because heās a Zoldyck assassin, you canāt keep him out) and the word 'eyesā gets the weird treatment where all these high/low/metallic(?) voices get layered so it sounds like the creepiest thing ever
('History has its eyes on you but itās actually Illumiā is both the animatic I want to see the most and the animatic I hope will never be created)
Fun HxH facts I want to let you know about:
Kite (AKA Gingās student and Gonās big brother figure) is dead and has been brainwashed into being a weapon/punching bag for his captors. When sunshine angel Gon meets the new Kite he lets Kite beat him up and then hugs him, promising to save him (THE FEEEEEEELSS)
Forgot to mention this about Chrollo, but when Kurapika killed one of his troupe (a guy named Uvogin), Chrollo acted all cool and never really talked about Uvoā¦
but then he had the rest of the troupe murder 2000 mafiosi guardingĀ a building they were trying to get into, and while watching the chaos from afar, listening to their enemyās screams,Ā heĀ started wavingĀ his hands as if conducting an orchestraā¦
āUvogin-san. Can you hear it? This requiem weāre dedicating to you.ā
(jeez Chrollo we know youāre extra but you canāt just murder 2000 people and play a funeral march with their criesĀ of horror every time you lose a subordinate)
Lastly: Thereās a new character named Knuckle whoās like the HxH version of Metal Bat. He is the sweetest cinnamon roll. I love him. Iāll send you a pic later
So um did you hear the news about Hinami
(Queen Luna cosplaying Maka(? or any of the otherĀ threeĀ MCs)ā¦omg that sounds so awesome)
*facepalm* ok WHOOPS I actually read about that on the SE wiki a while ago. How did I forget about it
Yep! It wasĀ so good <33 (Lizzy looks so graceful and prettyĀ I canāt even)Ā I actually found the whole movie on YT but just watched the parts I was really looking forward to seeing animated, like UTās fight scene, Seb getting stabbed, the rest of the Midford familyā¦(Francisā hair shocked me. Idk how to feel about it. At first I thought it made her look like an old lady, but then, the more I look at it, the prettier it getsā¦like, itās actually a really nice design, but I guess I got too used to manga!Francis lol)
Light is the trash GOD.
(hope you get to read the light novel! As far as I know itās got a TON of L and Naomi in it so it might make you feel better :D)
Oh yeah, I get what you mean. Lightās reasoning/views on the justice system probably connects a lot to the culture and social issues of Japan at the time.
DNās probably still one of the easier-to-adapt mangas out there, though, since the themes of justice and questioning the idea of 'greater goodā is something anyone can relate to (and they still botched it, Iām very salty about this and you canāt stop me ;-; even withĀ how terrible Ryuk and Rem looked in them, the Japanese movies were WAY better, and itās actually pretty rare that Japan makes a good live-action movie from a manga or anime. Apparently the TG movie that came out this year was pretty good too, though :D).
(I apparently somehow accidentally erased the part where I mentioned I actually read HCs/theories about Japanese-American Light on tumblr somewhereā¦.thatās what got me thinking about it.
I agree though, seeing how different cultures would change Lightās character would be very interesting.)
The lack of potato chips doomed the entire Keikaku from the start.
I can see you being similar to Pearl too! I think Iām maybe a bit like Lapisā¦or possibly Connie. Or maybe Blue Diamond because I also cry way too much (but then again BD actually has a reason to be miserable so)
ThoseĀ are both cool gems<3Ā and yeah, theyāre both really pretty :D
I was talking about gem 'rolesā back on Homeworld, thoughĀ ^^;; like, how Pearls are considered servants or pretty accessories, Diamonds are leaders, fusions like Garnet are outcasts, Rubies are 'dumb muscleā, Sapphires are valuable prophets, Peridots are tech experts, Jaspers are soldiersā¦sorry, I shouldāve been more specific OTL
Iād probably be a Pearl lol. I could see myself being a Peridot and being scared to death without aĀ Quartz soldier to guard meĀ but Iām not good with any kind of technology so nah.
And sorry for asking weird questions, I forgot itās been a while since you watched the show ^^;;
Hey, donāt feel bad about slow replies! Like I said before, I seriously donāt mind as long as youāre ok :D and Iām so glad Iāve managed to help.
('a friend I appreciateā *ugly sobbing* thank you)
Did someone say suffering?
*'Remember That We Sufferedā plays in the background*
DID THE QUEEN JUST SAY 'Goalsā ABOUT SOMETHING I MADE OMG IāM FREAKING OUT TYSM
Ayyy Iām so glad you liked them! (The Hide pic was painted with the intent to kill)
(last thing:
Iām sorry, this is probably really creepy, but I ended up telling my mom about you because she asked who I was talking to (she knows I have internet friends and has seen me writing messages before). Since Iām only 13 she worries about the people I talk (she knows all my friends on ao3) so I told her some small things like your age, that youāre from Croatia, that you play the piano too and that you mentioned having a sister.
Iām really, really sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, mom just worries a lot and she likes to hear about my friends (like, she worries for my safety on the internet so she has to ask me some basic things about the people I talk with, and when she knows I have a good friend on the internet she sometimes wants to hear if my relationship with them is ok). Iād never tell her something really private but sometimes she wants to talk and I know she worries for me so I do tell her small, random details from our convos.
if youāre uncomfortable with that, though, Iāll stop. Again, Iām so sorry about this.)
And after two weeks of silence, the species finally shows some signs of life.Ā
;-;
Iām totally not crying.Ā
Iāve said this so many times and youāre probably getting annoyed, but I have no idea what I did to deserve you in my life.Ā
Youāre actually the only person Iād told about my current mental state at that time, and Iām so glad you didnāt freak out or just write it away as me overreacting (like my mom did), and it means so so so much to me. Truly, thank you for being here for me. (And not giving up on me, considering how long my replies take ;-;)
Iām here for you as well, though, so if youāre ever feeling down, you can message me ^^Ā
Oh, itād be cool if youād get a tumblr! I can guarantee my replies would be faster then, since the messages would show up in my notifications...
Also, to brighten things up a little, this is how I picture you at the beginning of the message:
Oh Ā god that sounds disgusting XD And perfectly describes why I donāt wanna do swimming as a sport. Are you still swimming? Itād be cool if you were, cause itās a really beautiful sport imo.Ā
Thatās unfortunate... Hopefully youāll be able to visit it someday ^^
Tbh considering the shit I unironically ship sometimes, no ship is weird enough to be unexplainable. Name a single reason why you ship it, and itās valid in my eyes. Heck, it can beĀ āthey look good togetherā and Iāll sayĀ āmakes senseā. Yāknow why? Because Iām one of those ppl who will ship it if they so much as look at each other.
ok fun fact: Iāve loved TāChalla since I was like 8, because every summer, there would be a weekly publication of superhero comics, and Black Panther was almost always there, and I was a nerd even then, so Iād always buy them. Other than Spiderman, Black Panther was my favourite superhero.Ā
Lololol I need the HxH Cast watching MCU movies. Oh yeah, I found this a while ago and immediately thought of you:
Amazing... If you ever learn to animate, please send me a link, because I will pay money to see that. Just. Iām not even into HxH, but Iād give up a lot to see the crossover XD
Ouch, that seems like a lot of feels... Seriously I have no idea where you get the mental strength to read to many angsty moments...
um, yeah... i have actually... but um, sheās alive, right?
Turns out I gave my skirt Iād used to charity, so until i find a replacement, I canāt take any pics... well, at least i can grow my hair out to Makaās length till that happens XD
I adore the movie, seriously, the animators did such an amazing job with it, especially the most important scenes.
BUT HECK; WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT WHAT OUR CIELāS NAME IS?? Itās been hinted that itās quite unusual, BUT THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER HNNNGH
Oh yeah, Iām gonna find that novel even if it kills me, because I need the L.Ā
lol I still havenāt forgiven the movie adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender. It was so bad that most people (including me are denying its existence). I might watch Death Note some time soon, so I can judge it for myself tbh...Ā
Of course, the chips were a vital part of the Keikaku... No wonder it didnāt succeed...
No worries! Itās not your fault! Tbh, i dont think id even reached that part when I was watching it, so itās interesting to hear all the roles...Ā
Aw, youād be an adorable Peridot ^^
TbhĀ āfriend that I appreciateā doesnāt even begin to describe how precious you are to me. Youāre the first online friend I made and the first person I told about my mental state, so honestly, youāre one of the people I feel closest to...
Nah, I donāt find it creepy at all!! Seriously, I sometimes tell my parents about people I talk to, so Iāve mentioned well ^^ Itās your choice what/who youāll talk about ^^
