(Rambling || Long)

The way I really would read anything as long as it's interesting that it's almost embarrassing, but I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm enjoying it.

Today I found a fic called "A Blessing in Disguise" with a Fushiguro Toji x Todoroki Rei pairing and the summary was too compelling to ignore. What-if and crack treated seriously fics are among my favorite themes and I coudn't resist the temptation to check it out. I know enough about MHA but have only watched season 1 of jjk so I'm not too knowledgeable about the context (the story takes place in jjk's universe; Rei ends up there through an accident), but fortunately, it's more of a slice of life story focusing mostly on Toji and Rei's relationship and their growing family so it's not too difficult to follow along.

Any jjk characters I'm not familiar with who pop up are just a Google search away. Toji himself is a character I don't know much about but I already got the gist on what his canon equivalent could be from the way he's portrayed, at least prior to falling in love with Rei. In this fic, he's definitely become a family man and is simping -head over heels in love with- his wife and I'm loving tf out of it. I'm almost sad that this isn't actually how the story went for Rei bc of what she and her family had to go through in canon, but such is the tragedy of enjoying what-if fics, or just fics in general. Especially the crack ones bc the possibility of it happening at all is nil. Like not even a 1%, just pure below zero.

It is also, admittedly, not the weirdest crossover ship I've read considering I enjoyed an Ichimaru x Todoroki Enji (what a coincidence) family fic months ago. Balked at the idea at first but gave in anyway like a pushover bc I wanted to see how Ichimaru's presence would've changed the dynamic to the whole Todoroki family drama, and of course his own dynamic with Enji. Last I checked it had over 70+ chapters and was still ongoing. Ichimaru was also a simp for Enji but compared to fic Toji, his fathering skills are embarrassing from what I can remember. Enji was still gruff and rough around the edges but treated his kids better compared to his canon counterpart so instead of resentment, the todoroki kids are , for the most part, content but also kind of embarrassed of their parents? With Ichimaru's shameless glomping of Enji who bears with it all in his stoic grace, there's just never a dull moment in their household. Toji and Rei's family dynamic is more domestic and sweet in comparison but still just as entertaining.

Idk it's all such a hilarious concept and I had a blast reading it. I swear gems crossovers like this always make my day and hopefully I'll be able to come across more feel good, crack fics with the saeme quality in the future. Lowkey begging for it actually but ANYWAY---

everything about this silly chat is funny to me

[notaplaceofhonour]

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

"The creative act is psychological, not physical; yet the intentions are the same. You must cast your bread upon the waters with passion! You must be consumed with the desire and literally on fire with love for its possession, for an intense imaginal act will always draw unto itself its own affinity" - Neville Goddard

Aphroditeapprenticee also talked about love here and here

hello i;m this anon. it was just my stream of consciousness, more like my daily thought. but I believe no one needs to be disciplined/motivated, we need more love. the idea of needing to stay disciplined/motivated comes from ego I believe. we're conditioning states. "in order to stay in this state, i must stay disciplined and motivated" this is a self-imposed condition. but states are unconditional. imagination is totally unconditional. we believe we need self-discipline because we don't know who we really are-not just this garment(body) we're wearing, but god. just like how we don't need to stay disciplined to eat our favorite food or to watch a favorite tv show, or to spend time with someone you're in love with or to listen to your favorite playlist. when you do things out of love, you don't need discipline or motivation and you lose yourself in the moment while being present. but because we're so used to the "no pain no gain" mindset, we believe in order to achieve something, even if it's through "manifesting", we need self discipline when in reality, we just need to fall love.

neville spoke about it here and there too. we must fall in love with the state we want to be in. we must fall in love with the version of ourselves that we want to be. from my experience, when I push myself to be disciplined, I easily waver and fall back. but when I simply yield and fall in love with my imagination and state as if I'm falling in love with someone, it becomes incredibly effortless. persisting feels like hell when I push myself to be disciplined. persisting feels like heaven when I'm in love.

and not just manifesting. like i don't want to stay disciplined to do my skin care routine. i want to fall in love with doing it and simply enjoy it. if you're in love with your profession and what you're doing in life, you'll more likely to succeed because you're in love. love is so powerful and I'm not speaking of just romantic love.

loving and caring mothers don't need to stay disciplined to hold their new born babies and kiss them. they do it out of love. discipline and motivation come from trying to achieve something when there is nothing to "achieve" because creation is finished. humans need discipline because we're constantly trying to make something happen but god is infinite love. and you are god so just fall in love with your desired states.

when I first fell in love with my imagination, it happened unconsciously but manifesting was so easy. I was so in love with the state of the wish fulfilled, I just couldn't gaf about what was going on in the 3d. I loved my imagination so much that I couldn't help but live in the end. that's when I realized that I didn't need to be hard on myself to live in the end, I needed love. I needed to fall in love with my imagination. this is just my experience and thought

This is... beautiful, and amazing. I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you so much for sharing <3

holy shit yes YEEESSSSSS

i put the fucking baseball one as my computer desktop background and it has given me LIFE ETERNAL

i cannot find A SINGLE ONE of my program icons and i do not give a SINGLE, SOLITARY FUCK, because every time i'm like, "shit, i gotta find my scanner, where'd i put firefox..." i see gohan's goofy dad-joke face going, "YOU GOT IT, DAD! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!" and goku being like, "YEAH! CRUSHING THIS 'QUALITY TIME' THING, JUST LIKE WE'RE GONNA CRUSH THE COMPETITION ON THE TOPAZ!" and yamcha's blood pressure shooting into the GODDAMN STRATOSPHERE while he's shouting, "DIAMOND, GODDAMMIT, IT'S A DIAMOND, WHY ISN'T ANYONE LISTENING TO ME?!?!?!" and bulma's just talking INFINITE shit because she knows better than literally anyone how hilarious it is to talk shit around vegeta, and i have never,

NEVER,

been so happy in my life

(p.s. i know i can go through the start menu for my "apps" or whatever, but goddamn, life is so much more zesty when you lose your program icons on a big ol' picture from dragon ball super)

something I drew for my friends in the bhc discord server I only joined in like- idk September of last year, but they really helped me in ways they probably don't realise. I would have added more people but there's like 17 people in there (18 if you count the spiritual Daynish LMAO) but seriously these guys are amazing and id definitely recommend joining the server, everyone's always so welcoming and nice and there's never a dull moment there.

Mihawk, who's only ever had two interactions with Roronoa Zoro, one in which he almost killed him and then saw as the most important thing to him after their duel was to let his captain know he wouldn't lose ever again (did he just call a rookie who hasn't even set foot on the Grand Line, "Pirate King"?) and seeing how said captain is more happy about the fact that he's alive rather than the promise he just made in his name, and the other one was when he -half beaten to death- tried to leave his island after learning about what happened in Marineford, and then asking him -the man he promised to best- to train him because he wants to be stronger, going as far as to kneel in front of him:
