Thereā€™s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isnā€™t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while heā€™s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because theyā€™re Chip and Jayā€™s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.
Itā€™s just. Thereā€™s something about how he hasnā€™t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time heā€™s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesnā€™t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though itā€™s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.

hiii dayurno could you tell me more about raven!jeremy? it's such a new idea sounds very interesting!!!
hiii of course! buckle up. long story and also a collab with ao3 kevjean :3
well first of all let me say that in this au jeremy is not part of the perfect court or in fact even close to it at all. heā€™s a sub striker with a high jersey number who did not see much playtime during his career as a raven and was on the lower end of the raven spectrum skill-wise. this is important to tell you because the fic doesnā€™t start with jeremy in the ravens, it starts with him dealing with the aftermath of the nest getting dissolved and losing every bit of his hopes and dreams after sacrificing everything in his life to make it in eauā€”it starts with kevin salvaging the last dregs of jeremyā€™s college career by recruiting him for the foxes for his last year, even though jeremy, as an ex raven, hates him (and jean) for what theyā€™ve done both to riko and to their team
ok good. so set the scene. jeremy is miserable. the ravens already didnā€™t like kevin and jean to begin with, isolated as they were from the perfect court. now jeremy lost not only his team but the lifestyle surrounding it, the ideology of the ravens, his partner, and his career prospects. he doesnā€™t have the eau raven title anymore and he canā€™t use it to get himself in the line of sight of most pro team recruiters. he gave up a family (that didnā€™t love him much, but still) and a trustfund for this. kevin day leaves the nest, jean moreau follows soon after, and their king kills himself. Do you understand how much jeremy hates them? kevin and jean were perfect court, were untouchable, didnā€™t even know or care to learn his name as a sub striker with not much under his beltā€”and then they left and destroyed everything jeremy had worked so hard for without even thinking about him. without remembering him at all, in fact.
he hates them!!!!!!!! desperately. With a passion. getting recruited for the foxes and by kevin day on top of it all is humiliating, but itā€™s the last chance he has. jeremy arrives in palmetto an angry hateful mess made ten times worse by kevinā€™s constant criticism of him, unaccustomed with normal life and without a partner for the first time in four years. heā€™s volatile and destructive and he has nothing to live for. exy is the only thing he wants and it doesnā€™t want him back. :) kevin steps in and takes jeremyā€™s game from him much like he did with neil, both out of desperation because the foxes are a mess now with the addition of their freshmen, and because, while jeremy isnā€™t really anything to write home about in terms of skill, heā€™s far more ambitious and disciplined than the average fox. jeremy hates kevin but canā€™t afford to reject his help. thus begins the most convoluted raven partnership to ever exist
jeremy hates kevin and has a non-negligible wish to harm him whichever way he can, but heā€™s also a raven that escaped the nest all on his own. he latches onto kevin immediately, the two of them becoming partners in the raven sense of the world while clashing Often and Intensely with each other both on and off court. their relationship gets more and more volatile the more jeremy goes out of his way to get under kevinā€™s skin, resentful and so angry at what the perfect courtā€™s done to him, while kevin sinks his feet in and pushes jeremy way past his limits in his training. basically they are a match made in hell :) lots of hatefucking and jealousy and violence and the one murder attempt ensue as the foxes try to navigate this destructive, hopeless version of jeremy that wants to die and take down as much as he can in the process, up to and including kevin day. theyā€™re together every second of the day and jeremy hates him for everything kevin took from the ravens, but he also depends on kevinā€™s training and presence to feel like a person again. itā€™s a really big mess basically that is eventually made worse (and better) by kevin and jeremy starting to sleep together to get the adrenaline out raven-style. and thatā€™s all without jean coming along, which he will eventually

My post about Anya is making like a little ruckus on Twitter and I think itā€™s crazy how many people like have a problem with it.
Like you donā€™t have to agree with how I characterize Anya and her actions but itā€™s more like, why are you focused on only one aspect of her character? Why are you removing nuance from the situation? I donā€™t see it as giving Curly the benefit of the doubt when it comes to doing better for Anya, but as exploring his character and hers relationship with a the very little authentic facts we get about them. In truth, thereā€™s a lot more I wish Curly did, even if it wasnā€™t pragmatic but I realize the issue there.
The first psychological horror game in a while thatā€™s real intricate in its storytelling and makes you need to really need to address the morality of intentions and its already getting torn asunder smh šŸ˜”
#I donā€™t know if itā€™s the case of people who hate curly and think he shouldā€™ve just killed Jimmy wonā€™t accept anything else#but I really am trying to get the idea that they were stuck for over a year in space together on a ship barely kept together with wildly#different and conflicting personalities who also got more hostile because they know they are going home to unemployment#it sounds heartless to say and he should have prioritized her more but in his head thatā€™s not the only thing he has to manage and he has to#fit the necessary actions to take in his head with all that including his perception of them as a friend vs as a boss#idk I just donā€™t believe Curly was comforting Jimmy with the intent of helping him get rid of Anya. he wanted to help both of them he went#about it horribly like the game is literally about realizing how misguided you can be and that responsibility#and how to be responsible look different even if there are better options like itā€™s just weird just block my ass dawg#also I think the argument of how could the situation be worse if he stopped Jimmy is stupid cause itā€™s under the guise that Curly would#assume someone he trusted would just try and commit murder suicide or heā€™d get degloved and all his crew directly#or indirectly killed by that friend like sorry if thatā€™s a reach statement like adding#your supplementary thoughts is how analysis is born but adding facts about events we donā€™t know happened and treating them like character#truths is lame is a cop out from actually engaging with parts of the story that adds grey areas to characters you wants to see in black#this is just a stupid like thing to me but it makes me sad cause I donā€™t even hate seeing depictions of Curly as more aware and#accommodating to Jimmy purposely but I need you to understand he thought he was doing the right thing for both his friends and his closest#friend but the key point is he thought he was doing right for both of them like what game were we both watching???#mouthwashing#like just block me pls like Anya would not share ur mindset or hold ur hand like do more than just pity her if you like her so much

so...it seems like ruby wants to ascend to be like summer.
but given that it's been said that the tree and ascension are about "acceptance", i don't think ruby is really going to ascend in the traditional sense.
ruby's goal for herself and her identity has always been to "be like the heroes in the books".
and now we've seen how jaune has handled that mindset (hint: it wasn't a great way of thinking. ouch).
part of that identity has been centered around summer. she inherited her emblem. she inherited her silver eyes. she's always being compared to her, and she's been living in her mother's shadowā€”"super mom", the perfect hero.
Tumblr media
Qrow: You're special the same way your mom was.
rather, that's the version of summer that ruby has held onto. she's trying to live up to an expectation that was never really set in the first place, because summer wasn't perfect.
Tumblr media
Yang: Mom took a risk the day she left. And I don't think it went the way she wanted it to, but she's still my hero.
whichā€”side tangentā€”i feel like is part of the reason yang didn't seem to notice just how far ruby was falling, so to speak.
yang doesn't see summer as such complete perfection, but she's still her hero.
Tumblr media
Yang: It's not like we were asking her to be perfect.
and of course, she (and everyone but ruby herself, really) doesn't expect perfection from ruby either.
and don't get me wrong, yang still definitely idolizes summerā€”just in a different way from ruby. ruby's idolization of summer is much more...unhealthy. she feels like ruby rose is not enough, but that summer rose is.
Tumblr media
Ruby: And it never, ever goes away. The feeling of not being...enough. The Blacksmith: And how would you measure...enough?
that being said, i'm getting the feeling that we may be getting some insight into summer, whether that be through some flashbacks of her failures, or maybe even how she died (i can only dream).
through that, i think ruby might be able to finally accept herself, because summer wasn't perfect either. ruby is not her, she's her own person.
and she's enough.

its past midnight and time to yap about Mouthwashing. Anyway obviously we don't see the Specific Events only how the characters react but with Anya... Okay I'm going to talk about the Sexual Assault not with Specific Details but that's what the post is about so
Anyways she reads to me as very like... trying to downplay the severity to herself. Like thinking through it (not having the exact quotes but) I feel like it'd be an unfortunately natural reaction- if you were stuck with 4 guys and the guy with the second highest position on the ship assaulted you depending on the situation. I feel like its not hard to imagine you'd try and reframe it as Less Bad to cope because let me be honest if I had to confront the implications of that, mainly the fact he could do it again and I wouldn't have any real way of dealing with it without complicating things even further bc he doesn't just have a close relationship with the guy with the Most Power on the ship, he also is in charge of keeping Me and The Other People On The Ship Safe, i would be in deep denial just to not lose my god damn mind like thats so fucking scary. And then the implication you tried to talk to the captain and even if he wasn't cruel he didn't Understand the Severity of what you were suggesting is like. Besides feeling afraid it could genuinely really fuck with my own perception bc like "if this guy who I trust says he's not a bad person maybe I'm just overreacting?" is. Again unfortunately understandable.
And again I'll say that Anya fully breaks down when the news breaks that pony express is fucked and like. 1. I think that's related to her own finances (and also. Literally just realized the way an abortion could interact badly with "no savings" like I Just Processed that fact. Like I knew "oh if she couldn't abort having to support a child wouldn't just be traumatic but also fucking nightmarish finance wise" but even having an abortion could make things so much harder.) 2. Jimmy LASHES OUT at Curly OPENLY. again based on my interpretation of Mildly In Denial To Cope this would. Like. Really fuck with that because it goes from "I trust the captain and I don't want to be afraid of my crewmate for a year" to "oh he is willing to verbally abuse the captain, who is his friend" and realizing I wasn't overreacting.
I also wanna point to the dead pixel conversation and obv it's symbolic but idk if it's meant as "there's a dead pixel that Anya noticed and she's using the topic to like test the waters" or if it's "anya is literally just trying to figure out Curly's thought process" which isn't like super important but like. Focusing on the way she starts the conversation by saying that she "Likes the illusion the screen has". (I don't remember the exact words sorry) But that's really interesting to me bc obviously you can read into Curly not seeing the dead pixel and instead focusing on the bigger picture (and how the dead pixel "doesn't ruin the illusion") but I think it's really interesting that Anya starts by talking Positively about the screen even though the dead pixel is there (and she can't stop thinking about it)
Like thinking through implications option 1: she's talking about the screen and uses the dead pixel to get a feel for how Curly responds to her bringing up issues
2: she's being entirely metaphorical and still trying to sort of self soothe- seeking external validation that the dead pixel Isn't Actually That Big A Deal (and therefore she's just overthinking)
3: idk how to phrase this exactly but ppl have talked Abt the way she talks to Jimmy, how it indicates a sort of "Fawn" response where she tries to keep him calm with compliments and stuff, and her talking about "enjoying the illusion" is her trying to do something similar with Curly- essentially starting the metaphor by downplaying the issue
Anyway. I don't know if I have a full conclusion but another thing is I think ppl need to acknowledge that while Curly fucked up and harmed Anya (mainly thru inaction). He's not uniquely shitty. Most people will be in a situation where they act similarly, and that DOES NOT JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS. I AM NOT SAYING CURLY IS ANY BETTER. I am saying that you need to be able to recognize your capacity for harm thru inaction and understand that like. He's not uniquely terrible he's just Normal Levels Of Unhelpful, which in a situation like Anya's is Dangerous
Like. Basically you can say "fuck jimmy fuck curly" all you want but you need to be able to understand that everyone including yourself has the same capacity for harm
#Mouthwashing spoilers#Rape ment#SA ment#Ask to tag#Idk I will say with the Anya thing: I'm a little bit speaking from personal experience#Of. There are things that I think about like ''ppl say These Things (that I experienced) are Very Bad but I don't think that's the case#For me'' like. Not consciously ''oh I'm over reacting'' but more ''well maybe my situation is different'' and it's really hard to figure ou#How much of that is genuinely the case and how much is denial y'know. šŸ‘#Also Curly is a trans guy to me bc I'm hungry for characters who are trans men and just as culpable of willful ignorance and harm#As cis men. Anyway if anyone has a diff take on Anya's situation and)or mindset I'm open to hear it this is just my thoughts#Based on how the scenes read to me.#Also like the situation is delicate and this isn't like A Perfect Fix but genuinely Curly should've given Anya the gun#I don't think she would've shot it but it works as a Defensive Threat in a way that would give her security and also deter jimmy from being#A fucking problem because he doesn't experience consequences for his actions due to a mix of Captain's Friend and#''we can't really do shit to him or we lose our co-pilot'' (even tho he fucking sucks at his job they don't learn that until he#Is The Captain so they likely assume he's at least fucking. Functional and they would be worse off with him out of commission. Y'know)#But then again Jimmy's allergic to responsibility and consequences to the point of murder suicide so maybe Anya wouldve had to shoot him#Idk. Imagine me pacing full of rage. Imagining a universe where Anya can just fucking go to med school and doesn't have to deal with#The pony express. FUCK THE PONY EXPRESS

Why do you like being alone
I like being alone. Itā€™s comfortable.
Tumblr media
Sometimes, not really by choice. People tend to forget I exist a lot. Itā€™s not the best feeling.
Even the ones I love the most. For once, I finally think I can be apart of something, or something to someone.. only to be left behind once again.
Tumblr media
Whatever. When that happens, I donā€™t bother to try and include myself. I just kind of let it happen and isolate myself.
Tumblr media
Sometimes, Iā€™ll even lie down on the train tracks and relax with headphones on or leave town without saying anything just to see if anyone would notice. Nobody does.
Somehow so peaceful, yet the silence is unbearable.
Then I remember how pathetic I look. No one is coming to save you, I remind myself.
You are all you have.
You are all you need.
Hahah.. I think my guts are rotting. My brain feels like itā€™s decaying.
Tumblr media
Fitting for the season, donā€™t you think?

Just finished reading Pez Dispenser Debris (I donā€™t even go there but I am fueled by Wiki articles and a love for your storytelling) and first of allā€”amazing!!! 10/10, I think I need to watch this series now.Ā 
Second, IĀ Ā noticed that (while very much distinct) Yuuta & Izuku have a lot of similarities in the voice you gave themā€”maybe itā€™s the constant panic attacks or perhaps both ofĀ Ā them placing blame for everything squarely on their own shoulders, but ough it makes for the perfect blend of gut-punching angst. Iā€™d love to hear any ramblings you currently have about either of them. I am currently obsessed with both of them now and am placing the blame on you <3
Iā€™m gonna pretty heavily discuss some spoilers for my hero academia in this. I figured that was okay since youā€™d already read my fanfic and the wiki so the cat is out of the metaphorical bag. That being said, maybe wait to read this answer if you want to not be spoiled for more details in my hero.
Yuuta and Izuku absolutely have the most similar voices out of all of my narrators and it is 90% because they are both completely insane and in violent need of a Xanax and a nice soothing cup of chamomile tea. God I love them both so much. They should each be heavily medicated.
My hero academia is a pretty great watch through the Shie Hassaikai arc. The concept is entertaining, the characters are GREAT, and the world building is really cool.
Then the story sort of. Went to shit.
I tried for a while after that, but eventually had to stop watching. My friends and I have a group chat named ā€œhorikoshi just call usā€ because we got so despondent at the writing decisions after that arc.
Horikoshi. If youā€™re out there. If youā€™re reading this. Just call us. We just want to help.
That being said, my love for the characters maintains its death grip on me. I simply adore them. Theyā€™re delights.
Yuuta and Izuku, on their face, have a lot of similarities as protagonists. The aforementioned insanity and need of Xanax, of course, but the skeleton of the stories has a lot of common touchstones and themes, like:
Both characters have some kind of history with suicidal ideation or tendencies. In the second scene of JJK0, itā€™s established that Yuuta canonically tried to kill himself. In the first episode of BNHA, Izuku is told to kill himself by his bullies, in an act which appears to be common to izukuā€™s life, and the only reason Izuku comes up with to not do it is ā€œthen youā€™d get in trouble for telling me to do it.ā€
Both characters have severe self worth issues. Yuutaā€™s looking for a reason to be alive at the start of JJK0. Heā€™s looking for a right to be alive. In a way, Izuku is too at the start of BNHA. At the open of action, he is told by everyone in his life that he is useless. His nickname is ā€œDeku,ā€ which uses some of the same kanji as ā€œDekunobo,ā€ meaning blockhead. The most direct translation were given is that this is a way of calling him useless. Heā€™s the powerless member of a society choked with superpower, and heā€™s been told his entire life that he can do nothing, that his dreams are pointless, and that heā€™s a burden who would be better off dead.
Theyā€™re both saddled with power they canā€™t fully control. Yuuta with Rika, and Izuku with One for All, a transferable power thatā€™s too strong to be contained in his body.
They both have a close relationship with an impossibly strong mentor that they are implied to be the successor of. Yuuta with Gojo, as heā€™s second only to Gojo in the modern age, and Izuku with All Might (aka Toshinori Yaga), who he is more literally taking on the mantle of One for All from.
They both are chugging that Loving Their Friends Juice and have tried to kill grown men with their bare hands as a result
That all being said, they could not be more different characters and honestly arenā€™t all that similar.
I have this sort of lasting grievance with literary analysis when people take a list of common plot points or events and use them to make the argument that characters are similar or parallel one another. Like, thatā€™s all facial. The real question is how do they substantively handle those events. How do their story arcs treat those things? How does their character react to them?
Yuuta and Izukuā€™s actual substantive characters donā€™t really react to those events in the same way at all. The analysis could go on all day in this respect, really, but the biggest difference is how their respective story arcs treat the cornerstone of their original conflicts.
Yuuta opens action with Rika as the cornerstone of his conflict. Sheā€™s who he wants to free, sheā€™s who heā€™s chained to, and itā€™s her protection of him that makes him think he deserves to die. Izukuā€™s cornerstone, meanwhile, is his own Quirklessness. He desperately wants to be a hero, and everyone in his life tells him he canā€™t be because he is Quirkless. Heā€™s useless because heā€™s Quirkless. He should kill himself because heā€™s Quirkless. Heā€™s a burden and always will be because heā€™s Quirkless.
And while Yuutaā€™s arc reconciles him with his cornerstone, Izukuā€™s forgoes it entirely.
The story just. Forgets. That heā€™s Quirkless. They stop talking about it. It never comes up again. It doesnā€™t make any real big impact on his character or decisions. Itā€™s one of my biggest axes to grind with how the story developed, and itā€™s actually one of the biggest reasons why I wrote pez dispenser debris.
Pez dispenser debris was actually inspired by this one piece of my hero academia art where Izuku is hugging his younger self. I donā€™t know if it was official art or fan art, and I have no idea where it is or where to find it because by god have I tried so I can find it and link it for credit/to boost it. I saw it literally years ago, thought ā€œoh thatā€™s cool,ā€ wrote the original first scene of the fic (where Midoriya stops the bus and is hit by the Quirk), wasnā€™t feeling it, got distracted by other projects, went to law school, graduated law school, signed up to take the bar exam, and was suddenly electrified in the last fucking month of studying with this fugue state of feverish artistic inspiration. I have never written so easily or so compulsively in my life. Iā€™d write for eight unbroken hours and it would be fucking magic every time. It was like an addiction. I was writhing with a need to create and had so much fucking anxiety about the test I was not studying for instead. The words could not be restrained.
Anyway I taught myself three subjects on the plane ride to the state I was taking it in and passed anyway so itā€™s fine weā€™re fine
The moral of the story is that this story has been cooking long enough for me to get two more diplomas than I had when I started it and I have no idea where to find that fucking piece of art that inspired it, but if I find it, Iā€™ll reblog it so yā€™all can see it too.
The thing is, the narrative sort of forcibly excluding Izukuā€™s past as Quirkless would make total sense to me if it was used as something Izuku himself was doing.
Izuku necessarily had to hide the truth of his former Quirkless status at the start of actionā€”he needed to keep the secret of One for All. Like, he could not let people find out that a Quirk was transferrable, but you know, just the most powerful one, and also he had it, please come torture it out of him.
But as the narrative goes on, that rationale becomes less important. He has people he can trust with it. And yeah, eventually One for All becomes more known, but the discussion is all about him being all mightā€™s successor. Him being Quirkless and how that affected him and still affects him isnā€™t really discussed or treated as important. And Izuku doesnā€™t act like itā€™s important to him either. He never really thinks about it.
And I just hated that. Like. He spent almost his entire life as a member of society who was spit on. Heā€™s had a Quirk for less than a year. How are his experiences with Quirklessness not important to how he interacts with the world?
The other point of contention I had was Mirio.
Mirio is this superstar of a senpai who takes Izuku under his wing. He has an extremely powerful quirk thatā€™s only as effective as it is because he put in the work and learned how to handle it. Heā€™s a perfect, eternally smiling paragon of heroism. Heā€™s flagged early as the one out of everyone, including heroes with established careers, who is most likely to replace All Might.
Heā€™s also the one who was supposed to get One for All.
His mentor had found him and trained him to be All Mightā€™s successor. Before All Might could meet him, however, he found this feral raccoon child in a sewer and said ā€œoh my god I canā€™t not offer him incomprehensible power within the first three hours of meeting himā€ and tripped face first into fatherhood.
During a rescue mission, Mirio loses his Quirk in a way thatā€™s borderline irreversible. Thereā€™s no known cure, and the only possible one is dependent on a little girl learning how to control an extremely volatile and dangerous quirk and using it in a way she never has before.
So surely, theyā€™re going to commit to that writing decision, right? Heā€™s Quirkless. Weā€™re bringing back having Quirkless characters. Itā€™s going to be this sick as hell juxtaposition between Izuku and Mirio. We are at least going to force Izuku to reflect on his own times as Quirkless or have some kind of discussion about how Mirio is treated differently now that he is Quirkless.
But no. He gets his Quirk back by the next season. We donā€™t talk about it much. Itā€™s more of a minor inconvenience than anything.
Itā€™s almost as if the show accepted as an actual rule that you couldnā€™t be a hero without a Quirk. And then just. Forgot. Everything it had to do with its literal protagonist.
Anyway, I hated it.
In contrast, I fucking loved how yuutaā€™s storyline with Rika ends. That scene where Yuutaā€™s turning back to Rika, thanking her for loving him, telling him they can die together? Iā€™m obsessed with it. I recently moved across the country and listened to that theme song on loop during the drive.
Yuuta and Rikaā€™s love was unhealthy. They hurt each other. But it wasnā€™t malicious.
They just didnā€™t know how to love each other in a way that didnā€™t hurt.
They were in shit circumstances. But the love was there.
Yuuta felt guilty for Rikaā€™s love for him and his for her almost the entire narrative. He thought he cursed her with his love. He wanted to kill himself because of how she hurt people out of love for him. Itā€™s why I have moments in sea glass gardens where Yuuta talks about begging Rika to stop loving himā€”he didnā€™t know why love had to hurt so goddamn bad, and heā€™s sorry for that, he really is. He wishes he was better at it than he was.
At the end of JJK0, Yuuta truly is the last person who remembers Rika as she was and still loves her for who she is. Heā€™s faced with Geto, who wants to use her as a weapon. Everyone treats her as a threat or a tool, except for Yuuta.
Like. Just that moment. Of loving someone so genuinely, and being the last one who does, and knowing that everyone else will just use them. Iā€™m obsessed with it.
Yuuta reconciles with his love for Rika and her love for him, and theyā€™re both finally freed. Itā€™s this perfect moment of acceptance that I adore. He comes to terms with his past. It doesnā€™t hurt him so much anymore.
I wrote pez dispenser debris to sort of force Izuku to have that kind of reconciliation. As it is, he hasnā€™t reconciled with his own Quirklessness and how that affected him. I wanted to give him something he couldnā€™t physically escape and had to face.
#tw canon typical discussion of suicide#tw suicide#tw suicide baiting#pez dispenser debris#sea glass gardens#from a narrative voice perspective you are so so right#I tend to change my writing style a bit depending on who Iā€™m writing#and Yuuta and Izuku I use VERY SIMILAR STYLES WITH#to the point where I reuse a lot of sentences between the two stories#I do shift my writing a bit#with Yuuta I tend to use shorter simpler sentences and have a lot of ā€˜distanceā€™ in the sentences#I use a lot of ā€˜Yuuta thinksā€™ and ā€˜Yuuta feelsā€™ when normally I would just cut to what he actually thinks and feels#like those are a lot of fucking words that arenā€™t the point. theyā€™re dead weight in the sentence. most of the time theyā€™re unnecessary#but I /want/ there to be that distance between the start of the sentence and the point because it gives more of a detached feel to the#writing and I think of Yuuta as a very detached narrator. he spent most of his life isolated and traumatised. the distance protects him.#heā€™s got space between him and the rest of the world.#I go off on way more asides with Izuku but thatā€™s less because of a mindset Iā€™m trying to build and more because itā€™s my silly fun story. I#wanted to write it ā€˜badlyā€™ and break rules. I wanted the silly asides that have no affect on the story but existed in my head.

I wish my family could just accept that there are some things I'm too anxious and mentally ill to accomplish in life. No matter how hard I try I can't just "get over it" and "stop being so anxious". I've had doctors treat me like a lost cause and even though it's "sad" isn't it far worse to just push myself to the point of having a mental breakdown?
