(part 1 here)
at night, it became hard to sleep for lan zhan. his mind kept thinking about wei ying—and the awkward end of the last dream.
if lan zhan fell asleep, he would see wei ying. the boy in rags, who had greeted him with a bright smile and asked for his name. who seemed very, very excitable. there is no doubt wei ying would talk a lot, and the very thought of socializing sent lan zhan into a panic.
lan zhan cursed his mind for putting him through such uncomfortable things. he couldn't avoid it as it hit nine, no matter how desperate he was.
in the back hills, lan zhan wasn't able to escape in time. wei ying had found him at once.
"lan zhan!" wei ying yelled, waving his hand and running towards him. how many rules did he break at the sight of lan zhan? "it's me, wei ying!"
why does he need to reaffirm his name?"...mn."
"im glad you remember me! i thought you hadnt heard me when i told you my name."
how could lan zhan forget the most embarrassing moment of his life? "...remembered."
"wow! do you know where we are? its so cool here!"
this one was easy to answer. "cloud recesses."
"i know! mother told me about here, its a place on the mountains where there are thousands of rules!"
it was so much more, but, "mn."
"how do you live with so much rules? what rules are there? how are there so many rules?"
"..." his uncle would answer that correctly.
"is it because of the rules that you don't speak a lot? oh my god, am i breaking a rule right now?"
"many." speaking above a reapectable tone, excessing use of words, dirty clothes that don't cover enough, not enough clothes...
"aah! they won't kick me out, will they?!"
how can they kick him out? "dream."
"...oh. it is a dream! what am i worrying about? lan zhan, you are super cool!"
"..." was that another rule broken?
this continued for what felt like hours. lan zhan had never spoken so much.
unfortunately, this was not a one-time thing. the next nights wei ying would say everything and anything, ask so many questions.
after a week, lan zhan would eagerly wait for night to come. he would study so he could answer more and more of wei ying's questions.
"lan zhan..." wei ying was crying when lan zhan next saw him.

nerfing blurr with cube illness bc otherwise he would be too powerful
#i think abt how they quickly shoved blurr out of contact with the main cast as fast as possible#bc if he stayed with them he wouldve just ended the show too fast bc hes too competent & has overpowered speed dkfhflfjflfh#as much as i would have liked for him to be a main cast member the writers probably didnt intend for him to be super flawed#(definitely werent going to touch on things like Blurr's anxiety. bc that is mostly a fan interpretation ngl but shhhhshshhhshhhhhhh)#also they probably didnt intend for him to be a complex character either.#they just wanted him to be a snooty little bitch that cant shut up and i reapect that. i like that about him#so they just. couldnt keep him in hes got no intentionally written flaws that would stop him from just solving every problem in the show#i do however doubt they would even tackle any trauma blurr would have#since they did just magically instant heal blurr in the script reading so its like ''haha look blurr is fine dont worry abt it :)))))))''#idk man i think my point here was that blurr as a character#would need to have flaws/struggles that canon definitely did not intend to give him#& i think the only way for this to happen is fan works#that can take in info like blurr purposesly isolating himself all the time & the idea that blurr would get trauma from almost dying#and Actually elaborate on it#bc like. well tf:a is not a show that would meaningfully tackle these sorts of topics ok we gotta accept that ajdgdkhfkfhf#its funny they will somewhat address corruption in gov but i just cannot see them being like blurr voice: bumblebee i have social anxiety#IT JUST WOULDNT HAPPEN LOL this is a cartoon from pre-2010 that has Ableism The Character#they would not have the tact to handle blurr mental illness its sad but true#🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦

This is super important
My uncle is schizophrenic and I’m the successor trustee for his trust and it’s built in that because he was lucky to have entered into it voluntarily. Every year he meets with his attorney and decides if he wants the trust to continue or not
The system has destroyed his ability to be an independent man. A man who went to college. A man who worked a full time job for 20 years. A man with an active social life. A man who performs local piano recitals and used to help my grandmother tutor others. He hates gambling but loves watching me play poker so we share my hand.
My uncle is a person who just so Halle s to have schizophrenia and both sides of my family (the ones I like and reapect) stepped up to acknowledge this is an adult man who should never be infantilized or feared because of his condition
Reblog this version.
isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

Hiya! It’s been awhile!
As a fellow Princess Daisy lover, I appreciate and love Daisy, and I like to respect those that do as well. For the disrespecters and haters, I avoid them at all costs because arguing over a fictional character is redundant. However, I couldn’t help but notice some fans who ridicule other fans even though they too enjoy Princess Daisy. I would just like to say, as a somewhat public service announcement, that Princess Daisy is a fictional character. Granted, I love her very much and I look up to her greatly, she is not real. There is also a difference between canon and fan-made. Yes, Nintendo made Daisy paler a long time ago, but in two recent gifs, her skin appears darker. Now I love tan/dark skin Daisy. Maybe it’s because I’m black, and seeing Daisy for the first time with tan skin made me like her as a character more to begin with. Others do not like her tan skin. Some may hate it because it’s not her actual skin color, or that they are making her too dark rather than a sun kissed tan. But so be it. It is art. Fan art. If you prefer Daisy with pale skin, the draw, post and like posts with Daisy with pale skin. If you like Daisy with tan or dark skin, do the same. If you don’t have a presence, good for you. Some fan art can be well drawn, others not the best, but do not disrespect the fan art of others. If it’s not rude to the fandom in general, and not containing any images that you find obscene then you don’t have to like or acknowledge it. For example, I personally love the anime, Inuyasha. I ship inukag, the main and canon ship. Yet I see a lot of sesskag (the main character’s half brother). I do not like sesskag, I ignore it when I see it. I follow blogs that post Inuyasha related content who mainly ship inukag, and on occasion they enjoy the fan art or the fun fantasy of sesskag. I don’t enjoy seeing it, but there is no need to become rude or mean towards a ship, fanart, or a blog because of this. If you don’t care for certain fan art or ideas or theories about a fandom then so be it, post about it and what not, but there is a difference between ridiculing and having an informed or curious rebuttal against someone. Ridiculing is never wanted. I, personally, am leaning more that Nintendo should give Princess Daisy permanently tanned skin because of where her kingdom is, I doubt they’ll do it, but as of right now I just want Nintendo to include her more often, tanned skin or not. Why hate someone for liking the same thing you like, but in different ways? And I am not talking about illegal or obvious things for anyone who wants to get sarcastic. Same goes for those who enjoy seeing Princess Daisy as heterosexual, homosexual, pansexual, bisexual, binary, non-binary. None of that is canon, so when people create work having Daisy with dark skin and kissing Peach, it’s fan art based on what they enjoy about the fandom. I don’t ship Daisy with anyone. Actually I don’t ship any Mario Bros. characters, not even Mario and Peach. Let’s just keep loving Princess Daisy.

Hey you cant call americans stupid thats super rude of you because we are actually burger and our school the dollar so we dont get the knowledge but it doesnt mean that we are macaronies the cheese and you europeans are so fast to mickey mouse and accuse us of corn syrup which is extremelly baseball so maybe shut the fuck up and reapect the nation which is so deprived of mcnugget and education who that we are all ADHD4000 you ableist 4x4 truck cold baltic corndog ok i just wanted to give you a scare in the notifications i dont mean any of that

[In a perfect american accent] makarouni end čiiiz" i think ab that video twice a day

-“You get sarcasm! You’ve ALWAYS gotten sarcasm/idioms!” (Yes, when you use ThAt VoIcE™️ for sarcasm and I straight up learned every idiom I know from the internet/english class)
-Alternatively: “No?? Of course we aren’t doing that thing I said we were doing a second ago? I was being sarcastic???

-*says something I think is cool/interesting/funny only to be met by blank stares and one (1) awkward laugh.
-*Realizes that fiddling with elastics/pencils/fidget toys/flapping my hands a little is better than DIGGING MY NAILS INTO MY FUCKING SKIN when I’m overwhelmed* “You’re just doing all this fidgety stuff to PROVE something.”
-*Feels intense sympathy for friends and family but can only use shared experience for empathy*
-*doesn’t notice I’m talking loudly* “Jeez calm down!”

I actually went back to get the lyrics because I wanted to read them again
(I hope these are accurate, I pulled them from a lyrics site because I don’t have the sensory spoons to caption it myself)
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Song by Gil Scott-Heron
‘You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag
And skip out for beer during commercials, because
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you
By Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle
And leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams, and Spiro Agnew
To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre
And will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because
The revolution will not be televised, brother
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mae
Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not be able predict the winner
At 8:32 on report from twenty-nine districts
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young
Being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins
Strolling through Watts in a red, black, and green liberation jumpsuit
That he has been saving for just the proper occasion
Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction
Will no longer be so damn relevant
And women will not care if Dick finally got down with Jane
On Search for Tomorrow
Because black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news
And no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists
And Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Keys
Nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash
Engelbert Humperdinck, or The Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back
After a message about a white tornado
White lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom
The tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat
The revolution will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live

Hello! May i have a haikyuu matchup please?? I am a tall (5'10") curvy woman with medium length hair (for the most part, my sides have been shaved short!). Pisces, introverted, optimistic thinker, quiet and watchful. Im quiet when you first meet me, almost shy but im just listening to you talk and getting a feel for you as a person! When i open up i am friendly, affectionate, loyal, and happy! I have a deep love and reapect for psychology, and abnormal psychology is my jam! (Shy bean 1/?)
Shy bean 2/2) I love learning about people, supporting my friends and relaxing! If im not working or out and about - i spend my time playing videogames, watching documentaries or anime, reading fiction books, singing along to my music, cooking and taking care of my family and friends! I am patient with everyone but myself, i am a good advice giver, and someone you can always come to for help! I was wondering if you could expand on a crush development/ meeting senerio?
{Sure thing, hun! Here is your match! I put a break in it cause these scenario matchups tend to be a bit long looking.}
Your Haikyuu!! Match: Kageyama Tobio!
Tumblr media
“UWAH!”
“Hey. You’re annoying.” Kageyama was trying his hardest not to hit Hinata again…for the 5th time. Hinata’s eyes sparkle looking at all the volleyball merchandise. Going to a sports convention was one of Kageyama’s dreams, and the Karasuno boys got extra lucky being able to come to one this big. If it hadn’t been for Coach Nekomata, they wouldn’t have even known about it. About 3 hours ago, the team split up into little groups to wander around the convention hall. If Kageyama had to admit it, he felt like how Hinata looked; his stomach had butterflies and his hands were itching to touch everything. He resisted the urge to dig through all of the professional volleyballs, and grabbed Hinata, dragging him down the hall towards the place the group was supposed to meet back up at.
Halfway down the hall, however, Hinata spots someone.
“KENMA!?” He rips from Kageyama’s grip and starts running down the hall.
“Hinata! Get back here, we’re going to be late! DUMBASS! HEY!” Kageyama takes off after him, but is suddenly stopped by a crowd. Clicking his tongue, he pushes through the crowd trying his best to not hurt anyone. Halfway through the crowd, a girl spots his distressed look, and wide-eyed, grabs his sleeve and pulls him out of the group. With almost a ‘pop’, Kageyama is dislodged from the crowd and falls into the slightly shorter female. Standing in this awkward embrace, Kageyema looks up and was about to thank them, but his face turns bright red. The female was a beauty with a nice body and amazing hair. From this distance, her perfume was almost intoxicating, and he couldn’t think properly.
“A-are you ok?” She asked. He watched her lips move and was hypnotized. He then noticed the nice red tint to her cheeks. She cleared her throat, and he snapped out of it.
“A-ah! Sorry! Yes, I’m fine! Thank you!” He says, standing up straight. She fixed her clothes and noticed that they were the uniform for the school close to Karasuno. “oh, your uniform…your from the school close to mine.” He commented coolly, even though his insides were swirling. He wished his nerves wouldn’t mess with him this one time.
“Ah, yeah? Cool!” She smiled, he blinks. ‘So bright…’ he thinks, swallowing.
“S-so…I’m Kageyama Tobio, first year!” He bows stiffly. She giggles, and introduces herself as well. After this, the two of them talked for a while, and he explained that he was looking for a short, orange haired middle blocker. She laughed and said she was looking for her group as well.
“Ah! There you are, Kageyama!” He turned his head and sees Daichi down the hall, calling for him and waving a hand by his chest.
“I guess I have to go…will you be ok here?” He asks the girl. She looks down and fiddles her fingers. He scrunches his eyebrows and scratches his neck. “Something wrong?” He asks.
“H-here…” She says, giving him her phone. He raises an eyebrow. She giggles and says, “c-can I have your number?” He’s shocked. Typing quickly, he enters his number and hands the cell back to her. She smiles and gets up, saying ‘goodbye.’ He waves as she leaves.
Walking over to his group, Noya asks him who that girl was, but Kageyama is too focused on the text he just received from an unknown number.
from [unknown]: Hey! It’s Shy bean ;P you know, (F/N)!~
The two of you meet up often, usually before his practices, and on weekends. One time you showed up at school early and Noya and Tanaka found you before Kageyama did, and you had to anxiously ask for your friend. Kageyama walked up behind you, wrapped an arm around your shoulders and accidently glared at his senpais. He never heard the end of it; they constantly picked on him for being jealous. He confessed within the first month and you happily accepted his invitation for a date. The two of you are super cute together and usually just hangout around town. You’re almost like night and day: you’re kind-looking and cute, and he’s…well, he’s Kageyama. He loves to hear your advice, and you learn a lot from his words and actions. He gets upset when you don’t watch out for yourself, and will often worry about you.

Looking for 2 dumb fics!!!
Ok, so I've been reading a wide range of Tony-centric Marvel fics, but the two I'm looking for in particular are ones that I thought I faved and have lost.
1-Just before Sokovia goes down Tony kisses Steve. It's more of a connection with another human being thing, because he's scared and remembering the wormhole. It becomes a joke about Tony and Steve giving each other kisses for luck and develops into them actually having feelings. (I know, super cheesy)
2- Over time Tony realizes that the whole team has begun calling him a variation of mom. Joking, but also because they reapect and love him. Also a Tony/Steve stoey, but thats3mostly background.
I'm also open to fic recs involving almost anyone else and Tony. ☺

not to be that person but speaking as someone who doesn't like guardiancorp it has nothing to do with them being an interracial couple. most of us are just pissed because the episodes leading up to said couple had james dissing lena every chance he had. (don't get me wrong i love james and wish the writers didn't do him so dirty) and i mean, frankly, none of this is as bad as the disgusting earth x shit, but it's not 1/
fun seeing a strong, reapectable, intelligent woman with someone who seemingly hated her only months (weeks?) before. and i think it has to do with the shitty queerbaiting the sg writers have been doing too. supercorp gets dangled in front of us, literally quoting word for word things het couples have said, then pulling a no homo. tldr; the issue isn’t guardiancorp, the issue is the sg writers being absolute fucking pieces of shit who hate everyone who isnt white and cishet
i know it has nothing to do with them being interracial, i was mentioning that as an actual positive thing the show was doing for once. and to be fair, lena was also a dickhead to james before she suddenly decided to acknowledge his existence, so i guess they’re square? he also didn’t hate her, he didn’t trust her because of past experiences and had they written it right it would have actually been super interesting to see their dynamic develop. which is why i wish they had been developed more onscreen because this feels out of nowhere this way, but i don’t hate them and idk why people’s reaction to it is so visceral when imo karame| is 100x worse and kara is there and also part of supercorp. 
i just don’t get why this is what’s turning people off when they have done things that are way worse than this? like, really, why this? that’s what makes me sideeye people who decide to stop watching now but kept watching through everything else.

Okay so all of this but I feel like I need to mention the total lack of reapect for male characters too? Like, obviously the women hwre are being hideously disrespected and it's disgusting, but as well he is blatantly refusing to acknowledge the male characters own sense of self and diversity? Or purpose aside from looking like he just benchpressed a traincar filled with dem smexy laddiesssss??
The only male characters I see here that aren't super broad shouldered look like either snivel-y stickler butlers or villains and...
That's terrible???
Like I'm not gonna dispute the CLEAR lack of respect for women here (makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. We are not only good for looking sexy??? Please someone explain that to this man??? I'm begging you??? Some of us... Have aspirations... Other...... Than looking hot....? Some of us are ace/aro and have no desire to look like we just walked out of this man's book? Some of us just... DONT WANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT EVER REGARDLESS OF WHAT OUR ORIENTATION IS????? HELLO??? HAS HE MET A WOMAN IRL??? I can only assune in his mind that cartoon women are exclusively seperated from irl women in which case cartoon women are pure self-indulgent fantasy and... Please no. I cannot begin to describe how repulsed I am by this please stop this type of character design ) but theres also a blatant disregard for any type of man aside from 'coniving' or 'BEEG MACHO MASCLES MAN' and men need just as much legit representation as women? Or nb??? Or just??? Anyone??? Men are forced with all these expectations in the media of how they HAVE TO BE OR THEY ARENT REAL MEN and while, ngl, women HAVE had the worst of it in terms of the traditional genders, it also doesn't discount their suffering???
This is horrid stereotyping at its worst???
Someone please tell me there's an exact reversal of this book somewhere where its basically just 'how to design characters based on their personality and role in the story' instead of this?????

You need to reapect your audience? Yes. But as long as long as you aint hurting anybody what does it matter? If they dont like your stories, instead of using anon like a coward ( im sorry thats rude ) they should directly tell you, or better yet, PRESS THE GOSH DARN BACK BUTTON!!! And honestly? I was shocked when I found out clint was deaf in the comics! I wish they HAD him deaf in the movies! ( had him be Clint Barton in general, not the super serious, stoned face, no jokes guy I thought was clint until I read some comics and watched some avengers cartoons. )
why does it matter so much that Clint wasn't deaf in the MCU??? Like it's not super important to his character? I don't know why you're all worked up about this because it literally doesn't even really matter??? if the first anon was annoyed by your always writing sign language into your fics they have a right to be??? the things you write aren't just yours you have to respe ct your audience
*sighs heavily* So okay here’s the thing. It actually does matter that Clint wasn’t deaf. It really really really really matters. And you know why it really matters? Because for YEARS I have been super self-conscious about being Hard of Hearing, to the point that I didn’t tell people. I’d just pretend to know what people were saying even if I didn’t (believe me, I didn’t). If I had, at an earlier age, seen a deaf superhero asking his colleagues to speak up, to face him so he could read their lips, wearing hearing aids– god I would’ve been so much less embarrassed about doing those things too.
I think about the kids I see at my work in the grocery store and at Lush, kids with hearing aids, whose hands fumble over signs, and I feel this pang in my chest for them. Not because they’re “pitiful”, but because there are people who don’t realize what kind of community they’re going to grow up in. People who don’t care about the way the world works for them, for us. They don’t know they could be superheroes. Because people like Joss Whedon take that away from them without blinking.
Representation really matters. Especially when it comes to some sort of disability or shift in the perspective of what is “normal”. The same way you wouldn’t write a fic in which Matt Murdock wasn’t blind, you shouldn’t film a movie in which Clint Barton isn’t deaf. Because that is part of who he is. And by writing a script in which his deafness isn’t recognized sends a very clear message to the deaf/hoh community, which is: “people like you could never be superheroes” and even worse, “representing your community is not worth the effort”.
Secondly, I need you to read this very clearly: I will never ever write a fic in which Clint Barton is hearing, or a fic in which he does not utilize ASL. If that “bothers” my audience, or they feel disrespected by this fact, they are very kindly directed to this website and may follow the directions as follows.
