the idea that thinking alignment is a bad game mechanic = ā€œnot being able to handle conversations about moralityā€ is a fucking wild take
#i dont hate alignment#but i do think trying to apply it to anything besides dnd#is doomed to fail#because the only reason it makes any sense in dnd is as a basis for a fantasy cosmology#and at the end of the day it doesnt do a very good job at that#because while functioning as the base understanding of reality within this universe#it also fails to acknowledge itself as a humano/euro-centric realization of morality#the centerpoint of alignment is not flexible or considered in relation to different cultures#alignment (as conceived) says bad is XYZ and good is getting rid of XYZ#ABC races do XYZ so are bad#you are therefore only good if you oppose ABC#alignment does not ask 'what does goodness or lawfulness look like in a goblin society?'#it says 'goblins are chaotic evil. if you are good you are obliged to kill goblins'#obviously you dont have to play your game that way#and there has been enough pushback against that mindset that the text is finally starting to reflect a new attitude#but it still remains the core of the concept#honestly i dont think there is any choice wotc could make moving into 5.5 regarding alignment that i would be totally happy with#leaving it as is or getting rid of it both feel like bad options#changing the way it is implemented is the obvious answer but there is no way to do that that will make everyone happy (duh)#anyway just bugs when people act like their (probably better) more socially conscious definitions of alignments are like#them /figuring out/ the real meaning of it and what they are supposed to be#rather than admitting this is how they like to homebrew alignment to better fit with their own sense of ethics#that is not really what the people i am responding to in this moment were doing#but something i see often enough

ā€”
shouto todoroki
ā€” THE OBSERVANT SIMP
from the start, heā€™s quite oblivious to certain things, (social ques, signs of romantic interest, etc.)
but when heā€™s observant with someone, then that totally means youā€™re special to him. does he realize how much he pays attention to you? hmm.. maybe?
heā€™s going to be the first one that notices youā€™re hungry, even if you donā€™t realize it yourself. heā€™s quick to grab a snack and break it open to you
same thing with being thirstyā€” if he notices that your water bottle is empty, heā€™ll quickly find the nearest vending machine and buy a bottle.
temperature is also no problem. he can immediately tell whenever someoneā€™s cold; but he usually helps you first
too hot? heā€™s slowly putting down the roomā€™s temperature
too cold? his left palm starts emitting some sort of heat in your direction, hoping it creates some sort of aid
if your shoelaces are undone, and/or he notices that thereā€™s a button undone on your shirtā€” heā€™ll fix it for you
will ask to take your pictures on dates, and heā€™ll also help you pick out the best photo (not that any photo of you is short of any beauty)
in shortā€” people will notice that heā€™s actually a big simp for you; because of how observant he is with you specifically.
katsuki bakugou
ā€” THE TSUNDERE SIMP
just because heā€™s simping for you doesnā€™t mean heā€™ll treat you any differently. bakugou will be bakugou, and you eventually learn how to adapt to that.
but even so, his simp habits slip out sometimes.
when heā€™s cooking, heā€™ll accidentally make too much to eat, and heā€™ll coincidentally put the extras in another box and hand it to you
heā€™s a good student, even with studies. but would he say heā€™s a good teacher? hm. probably not
but if he notices you need help, heā€™ll sigh, feining annoyance as he decides to tutor yā€™all, because those ā€˜idiotsā€™ are hopeless
rolls his eyes when he sees food on your cheek, but heā€™ll grab a tissue and wipe it off for youā€” claiming how youā€™re so messy.
heā€™ll act like he hates hearing your ā€˜annoying ass singingā€™ but heā€™ll lean against the doorway and listen to you rock out to whatever song youā€™re singing to.
denki will call him a simp for looking after you, and bakugou will just yell at him to ā€œSHUT UPā€ >:T
he secretly likes taking care of you. his words arenā€™t the softest thing in the world, but his actions make up to it.
izuku midoriya
ā€” THE DETAILED SIMP
as katsuki bakugou would call him; he is a nerd
he definitely meant that as an insult, but his input on detail makes it very useful in things like relationships
he remembers every detail of your quirk, your limits, potential secret moves.
it wouldā€™ve been stalker-ish, if it werenā€™t for the fact that deku does this out of admiration for his s/o
so if you so happen to collapse due to overusing your quirkā€” deku has a detailed plan on what to do. itā€™s almost scary.
he puts detail in a lot of things, anniversary gifts, birthday gifts, and so on.
dekuā€™s also the type to plan things weeks before it actually happens. like.. planning out the perfect birthday gift
and with this, his memory is really good. so itā€™s very unlikely that heā€™ll just suddenly forget anniversaries and birthdays.
i hc deku as a bad cook, so he eats takeout food more than his homemade food
but heā€™s takes note of your allergies, your dislikes with foodā€” and he finds himself mumbling small details to recall what you like
when you walk out in pretty/good outfits for dates
his face will break out into shades of redā€” suddenly rambling all the good details of your outfit, complimenting you while heā€™s at it
ā€œy/nā€™s looks fantastic as always. i might die from their beautyā€
if anyone calls him a simp, heā€™ll be really embarrassed about it. ā€œme? a s-simp? is that a bad thing?ā€
just tell him itā€™s fine.
denki kaminari
ā€” THE HYPEMAN SIMP
a big simp
like.. really big
he worships the ground you step on, and hypes up everything you do
yā€™all know when irene from red velvet literally breathed in north korea, and the crowd just
*claps*
yeah, thatā€™s denki to you
itā€™s so blantly obvious that heā€™s simping over someone, and everyoneā€™s just kinda used to it at this point
heā€™s just a big fanboy sometimes
whenever youā€™re sparring with someone, heā€™s always in the background like
ā€œgo s/o!!ā€ šŸ¤©
and he has tendencies to go a little easy on you like.. whatā€™s he gonna do when you get electricuted??
but that doesnā€™t mean heā€™s never seriousā€” nah.
there are times where heā€™s just a little bashful just being in your presence
sneaking glances your way, as he silently fanboys about you in general.
ā€œs/o looks really good today. they always look good but !!ā€
when yā€™all werenā€™t together, the bakusquad was just tired of the constant romantic pining
it was really obvious that he was simping back then, and theyā€™re not so sure as to how you didnā€™t say anything about it
mina always called him a simp
so yeah!! it was a big relief when you got together with him. he never makes you feel terrible, because heā€™s always your #1 hypeman.
eijirou kirishima
ā€” THE HELPING SIMP (rip idk what to call this)
i didnā€™t really know what kinda name i went for this one but let me carry on
kiri upfront is very confident, and friendly. he never shows a mean side to anyone,
and there are rare cases of him being bashful
heā€™s kinda almost like a golden retriever? since heā€™s always nice and friendly to everyone
but then when you enter the room; he suddenly goes quiet, and heā€™s left alone with his rather loud thoughts about you
he didnā€™t really know how to properly approach you at first
but him being kiri, heā€™s still rather friendly to you (for now)
when heā€™s messing around, practically sharing one braincell with kami and sero
and then you suddenly walk inā€” he snaps out of his foolishness, and greet you with his very warm smile
ā€œhey y/n!ā€ he waves at you, and he hopes you donā€™t mention the teasing look on both kami and seroā€™s face
sometimes when heā€™s doing his close combat training, and he notices that heā€™s getting too close to you
heā€™ll be like ā€œwoah man, maybe we should move locations.ā€ bc he doesnā€™t wanna hit you by accident ;;
kirishima prefers to not stand near you when his hair is all spiky. like heā€™s never conscious about it, until heā€™s around you
man poked sero with his hair before, and he doesnā€™t want to do that to you
kiri always looks at your hand, just to see if itā€™s occupied with something. his thoughts linger to what your hand might feel like
ā€œtheir hand looks really.. soft. argh! i shouldnā€™t be thinking about these kind of things in public! im sorry y/nā€
bakugou really only notices kirishimaā€™s simping ways
bakugou always mentions the fact that kirishima goes really silent whenever youā€™re aroundā€”
and heā€™s secretly contemplating on having you around more so he can just shut up ć€‚ćƒ»Ā°Ā°ćƒ»(ļ¼ž_ļ¼œ)惻Ā°Ā°ćƒ»ć€‚
moving aside all of that, kiri always carries your things.
youā€™ll beg him to give you at least one thing, and heā€™ll say no because itā€™s ā€œnot manly to let someone carry all of this.ā€
if youā€™re sad, heā€™s the first one to cheer you upā€” reassuring you that everything will be okay.
kiriā€™s just wants to be at your service at all times! itā€™s manly to help people, right?
hitoshi shinsou
ā€” THE DISCREET SIMP
no one would be able to tell that heā€™s simping for someone
because unlike kaminari; heā€™s not like IM HITOSHI SHINSO AND IM ACTUALLY A SIMP
heā€™s a lot more discreet, and no one has really caught on, besides you and kaminari of course
heā€™s a lot less sarcastic with you, asking you about anything thatā€™s happened instead of just being there
he prefers it to hear you talk. the way each word and syllable rolls off your tongue smoothly, and the way you use your hands to emphasize things
heā€™s amused.
oh and the way he looks at you? almost any normal person can sense the simp in him pop out (heā€™s so contained though)
heā€™s definitely the person thatā€™ll get rid of any bug thatā€™s terrifying youā€” even though heā€™d normally just leave it to them
heā€™ll do it, regardless if itā€™s the biggest fucking spider heā€™s ever seen, or the smallest spider
heā€™ll do it to make you feel safe.
he has these random spurs of compliments during the day
the source mainly comes from his staring habit
and theyā€™re just so unexpected and out of the blue. hitoshiā€™s amused whenever he sees your reaction to his compliments
like.. you could be really frustrated about something, and heā€™ll just go ā€œyour eyes are pretty.ā€ thatā€™s his discreet method tO MAKE YOU TEMPORARILY DISTRACTED FROM THE ISSUEā€”
call him a simp, whatever. itā€™s true anyway so he doesnā€™t why should he be ashamed of it?
heā€™s discreet about it, since itā€™s your business and his business. but you can definitely feel his feelings loud and clear
neito monoma
ā€” THE 180 SIMP
ā€œiā€™m not a simp!ā€
[you enter the room]
*nervous laughter*
he had his last laugh, and he never thought heā€™d be this soft around someone.
especially if youā€™re from class 1-A like.. i became the thing i hated, ugh.
relentless teasing is amped but this is his way of making sure you remember him loud and clear
but heā€™ll never tease you in a condescending wayā€” like how he torments the rest of class 1-A
thatā€™s reserved for them šŸ’…
always compliments you, thatā€™s the first thing he does when he sees youā€”
and theyā€™re never generic compliments either
ā€œitā€™s nice to see you here, y/n! you make the world better day by day!ā€
ā€œiā€™m still wondering what youā€™re doing in class 1-A, youā€™re much better than them!ā€
everyone secretly wonders how you got monoma to like you
monoma canonically likes pastels. spread the word
so sometimes, youā€™ll walk over to your deskā€” and youā€™ll just see this random pastel ornament sitting on your desk
you know who itā€™s from
whenever monoma starts becoming annoying, kendo will definitely use you as a weapon to make him shut up
heā€™ll be laughing at the expression on his face, thinking heā€™s absolutely winning at this
but the smile is wiped off his face when he hears ā€œok go on, iā€™ll tell y/n about your antics.ā€
ā€œno, no! iā€™ll behave now, please donā€™t tell y/n.ā€
class 1-b literally use you as blackmail whenever monoma acts up, and itā€™s because of how different he is around you
like.. his personality takes a 180, (besides the obvious teasing) itā€™s alarming

Trust - Kataang Week 2019
A/N: As you can see, these all seem to exist in their own separate worlds. In the last one, Aang and Katara were married young; in this one, they are still not married. But thatā€™s the beauty of fanfiction, right? Anyway, hope you enjoy.
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
Katara was pretty used to the way women looked at her boyfriend by now.
Aang had always been cute: big expressive eyes in an almost cherubic face. But in the last few years he had definitely moved from the ā€œadorableā€ phase of childhood and even through the ā€œeveryone-goes-through-itā€ phase of early adolescence to now being a very attractive young man. Katara definitely appreciated what Aang had grown into, and in a smug sort of way, self-congratulated herself on her ā€œforesightā€ to snag him when he was still so young and awkward (although that choice had really had very little to do with ā€œsnaggingā€ him, and everything to do with having fallen in love with her best friend.) But even she would admit to herself that the fact that he was such a looker now was satisfying.
Aang had a very distinct look ā€“ from his shaved head to his uniquely air nomad facial features (which now equated to one-of-a-kind), to his orange and yellow robes and his blatant blue full-body tattoos ā€“ everything about him was exotic and striking. It was pretty much impossible for Aang to go anywhere in public without being recognized. Even when he did try to ā€œcover upā€ to blend in, that generally led to strange clothing (hard to cover hands and foreheads up nonchalantly) and something about it bothered him; he didnā€™t like doing it. Sometimes it beat being mobbed, but most of the time Aang just went through life as himself, which came with the natural consequence of too much attention.
Katara knew that Aang was gregarious and enjoyed meeting new people. But sometimes it did get pretty annoying to deal with her boyfriend being continually fawned over by fan-girls. Aang, for his part, was often oblivious; when he did catch on that a girl was into him, he instantly got awkward, self-conscious, and a bit bumbling.
Katara considered herself a much better gauge for flirtatious behavior than Aang. Even now at nearly seventeen, Aang often erred on the side of guileless and overly trusting; probably since his view of the world was similar to the way that he himself behaved. He was pretty guileless, so his natural assumption was that everyone else was as well. Even after years of political meetings and debates, Aangā€™s basic MO was to be transparent and honest. He wasnā€™t stupid (as a boy he hadbe manipulated and pawned in the political arena by conniving leaders with forked-tongues and personal agendas, but since then he had wizened up and learned to stand his ground); however, he still opted for openness and sincerity in his own dealings. And being a bit shrewder in politics did not necessarily translate directly into social and romantic arenas. And when it came to women, Aang could be infuriatingly naive sometimes.
Like the time last year when the daughter of their host in a small village inland from the foggy swamp had waited for Aang in Appaā€™s stable. When he came to feed Appa, the girl started untying her sash and taking off her robe. And what had Aangā€™s response been? ā€œOh, I didnā€™t know you were changing in hereā€¦ Iā€™ll just go thenā€¦ā€ Katara had dropped her head into her hand in exasperation when he told her about it. Aang, what were you, raised by monks in an all-male monastery or something?
Or like right now, how Aang sat surrounded by three very forward, uppity Ba Sing Se noble girls; the girls were dressed to the hilt, but with the way they were leaning into him, they looked like they were not committed to staying soā€¦ Katara huffed as she approached their table at the outdoor cafĆ©. She and Aang had both donned Earth Kingdom green, in an effort to blend in just a little. But Aang had not worn a hat, and even if he had, he was likely to be discovered anyway.
As Katara approached the table with two small bowls of soy sauce and vinegar in her hands, she saw that one of the girls was in her seat. Her blood started to simmer as she shouldered her way to the table, setting down the sauce bowls.
ā€œOh hi, Katara! Girls this is my girlfriend, Katara! Katara, this is Qing, FengFeng and Miling.ā€
The girls smiled, regarding Katara with veiled distain, looking her up and down before tossing their heads and turning their giggling attention back to Aang.
ā€œYour girlfriend, huh?ā€ one of them said.
ā€œWeā€™ve heard so much about you... Katara, was it?ā€ the one sitting in her seat spoke with a fake smile and sickly sweet voice. ā€œI didnā€™t realize you two were stilltogether.ā€ She said the word ā€œstillā€ like it was some great annoyance.
Katara matched her tone, the two understanding each other perfectly, ā€œYeah, we are stilltogether. And you three are interrupting our date.ā€ Then with an even sweeter voice, ā€œNow run along now!ā€
The girls huffed and shuffled to leave, telling Aang how ā€œhappy they were to meet him!ā€ and how they ā€œhoped to run into him again sometime soon!ā€, touching his arms, and one of them even running her hands along his shoulders as they jingled away.
Aang rubbed the back of his neck as Katara sat down, ā€œYou didnā€™t have to be so rude to them, Kataraā€¦ā€
Kataraā€™s jaw set, ā€œwell you didnā€™t have to be so nice.ā€
ā€œThey just said they wanted to thank me for ending the war. You know how that kind of thanks makes me uncomfortable, but it would be ungracious not to hear them out. Besides, I think they were just being friendly.ā€
ā€œUh-huh. Right. And what about that girl last night? What was it she asked you? Where exactlyyour tattoos go?Aang, donā€™t be naĆÆve. These women all have ulterior motives.ā€
Aang blushed, ā€œyeah, thanks for rescuing me last night. I was afraid she was going to ask to see them nextā€¦ā€
ā€œSee them? Aang, come on, she wanted a whole brail tour.ā€
Aang sunk deeper in his seat, his whole face turning red. ā€œKatara! Why would you assume that?!ā€
ā€œAang, I just donā€™t get it. These girls hound you all the time. Would it kill you to just tell them to back off?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t think they mean anything by it. Theyā€™re just curious. I donā€™t want to offend anyoneā€¦ā€
Katara grunted in disbelief. Aang was the ultimate people-pleaser: way too polite and worried about causing disagreements. This went beyond the Air Nomad cultural principle of pacifism; this came down to Aangā€™s own personality. He cringed at conflict and was always quick to step in as a peacemaker. Even when it came to women who threw themselves at him with varying degrees of blatancy, Aang had been known to go to ridiculous efforts to avoid confrontation with them rather than deal with it head-on.
ā€œThey are notjust curious, Aang. They are flirting with you! I donā€™t want to be the jealous girlfriend here, but come on! One of us has got to have her head screwed on strait!ā€
Aang somehow managed to look simultaneously disbelieving and guilty. But then his expression shifted to a wicked smirk. ā€œYou think Idonā€™t get it? But what about you? What about how guys are picking up on you all the timeand you act like you donā€™t even know its happening? Seriously, Katara, talk about calling the tea-kettle black!ā€
ā€œThat rarely ever happens. And besides, they donā€™t mean anything by it.ā€
Aang hooted in disbelief, ā€œWhat?! How can you even saythat? What about just this morning in the market on our walk over here? I let go of your hand for one minute and the vulture-wasps descended!ā€
ā€œAang, I was shopping. Its their job to wait on me ā€“ they want me to buy their wares.ā€
ā€œUh-huh. Now whoā€™s naive? That one guy didnā€™t have to stand there stroking your hand just to help you put on a bracelet.ā€
Katara looked a little shocked, ā€œAang! He was just doing his job; and besides, he was way too old for me.ā€
ā€œDoesnā€™t matter. He was hitting on you. And not even subtly. Man, Katara, I canā€™t believe you couldnā€™t see that!ā€
Katara sat puzzled for a moment as Aang continued.
ā€œAll I have to do is look around; guys are checking you out all the time. I know I canā€™t really blame them (I mean, who wouldnā€™t? Youā€™re gorgeous, Katara!), but it still bugs me. I want to tear their eyes off you and tell them to stop thinking what theyā€™re thinking.ā€
ā€œAnd how do you know what theyā€™re thinking? Youā€™re just getting worked up over nothing.ā€
ā€œBelieve me, Katara, I know what theyā€™re thinking.ā€ Then he looked away shyly, a guilty blush rising to his ears.
Katara melted a little. Aang was so adorable when he was jealous. Katara reached out her hand, placing it on his. He turned his palm up to meld with hers, bringing her hand up to his lips for a moment; an air of sobriety falling between them.
Katara ducked her head to catch his eye. ā€œBut none of that matters. We trust each other, Sweetie.ā€
Aang looked at her, more intensity in his eyes than she expected, ā€œI trust you. Its themI donā€™t trust...ā€
ā€œExactly!ā€ Katara jumped on this, ā€œThatā€™s exactly how I feel when I see these grasping women swooping down on you, while you act completely non-the-wiser!ā€ She blew out a forceful breath, ā€œand with this separation coming upā€¦ I justā€¦ I donā€™t know.ā€ She struggled to put her feelings into words, ā€œI guess I just canā€™t help but feelā€¦ apprehensive.ā€
Tomorrow morning Katara would be leaving Ba Sing Se for the South Pole. The ten-year anniversary of her motherā€™s death was coming up, and in the Water Tribe, that was a ceremonial year. All the loved ones of the deceased needed to gather for Ten Days of Remembrance, each day being specified with specific activities for honoring the dead. The final evening, the closest family members would convene in the tent of the Shaman who would lite incenses made from special herbs and perform the Final Ritual. People were sometimes known to see the souls of their deceased loved ones on this special night. But it was believed that after this ten-year milestone, the soul finally left this world for good, never to visit again. This was an important and sacred ritual, and she needed to be there ā€“ for her Dad, but also for herself.
Aang had to stay here in Ba Sing Se. The new Fire Nation Ambassador had figuratively burned a slew of political bridges in the Earth Kingdom, offending nearly everyone in King Kueiā€™s advisory cabinet. The woman meant well, and she wasnā€™t wrong in her opinions actually; but she was brash and outspoken, and like her element, pretty hotheaded. Things had gotten so heated in the last meeting that Aang had sent for Iroh to come from his teashop to talk some sense into his Nationā€™s ambassador and try to smooth over some bristling Earth Kingdom egos. As much as he didnā€™t like it, his life was not his own, and he simply could not leave Ba Sing Se right now. And frankly, he was over due for a scheduled meeting with Zuko in the Fire Nation as well; so as soon as he felt that the tenuous situation here was safe enough to leave, he would go directly there. So any thoughts of going to the South Pole with Katara were doubly out.
So the two of them were looking at anywhere from a month to two months away from one another. They had not spent this much time apart sinceā€¦ well since before they met.
Aang squeezed her hand, ā€œYeah, I feel apprehensive too. I hate being away from you, Katara.ā€ Aang picked up his stool and brought it around the table, so the two could sit closer, his knees flanking hers as they sat facing one another. ā€œBut I donā€™t want you to worry about me andā€¦ other girls. Thatā€™s just ludicrous! You know youā€™re the only girl for me, Sweetie.ā€
Katara grasped both of his hands, looking at them as she placed them in her lap, ā€œI know. I trust you, really, I do. I guessā€¦ I guess I would just feel a little better if you didnā€™t, I donā€™t know, let them flirt with you like that. I donā€™t like it when Iā€™m here, butā€¦ I mean what will they be like when Iā€™m not here to chase them away?!ā€
Aang brought his hand up to her face in affection. ā€œWhat can I do to make you feel better?ā€
A sly smile crept up to Kataraā€™s mouth, ā€œyou could try using firebending to make yourself hot so they canā€™t touch youā€¦ā€
ā€œMake myself hotā€¦?ā€ Aang asked incredulously.
ā€œNo! I mean youā€™re already hotā€¦ (thatā€™s kind of the problemā€¦) No, what I meant is make your body hotter so thatā€¦ā€ Katara groaned as she dug herself deeper in this faux pas. ā€œThat doesnā€™t sound right! I mean, justā€¦ just burn them if they touch you! Or, heat up your skin so they burn their hands if they touch youā€¦ or somethingā€¦ā€ she trailed off lamely.
Aang laughed right out loud. Clearly amused by Kataraā€™s mis-speech implying that somehow ā€œbeing hotterā€ would help with his lady problems. ā€œYou want me to start burning peopleā€¦? If they flirt with meā€¦?ā€
Eventually Katara laughed too, admitting that her idea was ridiculous. But her feelings were genuine and she wanted to communicate that with Aang. ā€œOk, so no need toā€¦ burn anyone. But Aang can you really try to be a little more direct with these girls? Yes, they are being way too forward, and you arenā€™t exactly inviting them to hit on you, butā€¦ well, you arenā€™t exactly discouragingthem eitherā€¦ā€
Aang sat back a little, stunned that Katara felt that way. Katara spoke again, ā€œI mean, think about this in reverse, Aang. If I had been sitting there and three handsome guys were hovering around me when you went for saucesā€¦ how would youfeel?ā€
Aang sat for a moment, eyebrows drawn as he contemplating that.
Katara went on, ā€œand how about if they were putting their hands on me like those girls did with you?ā€
Aang answered immediately, ā€œIā€™d be steaming.ā€ Then cocking a smile, ā€œMost likely literally.ā€
ā€œSee! Well thatā€™s how I feel!ā€
Aang looked at her again, kindness emanating from him, ā€œIā€™m sorry, Katara. I hadnā€™t thought about it like that, from yourpoint of view. I donā€™t like them flirting with me either, but I just donā€™t want to offend anyoneā€¦ā€ He took her hands in his again, ā€œbut I guess I amoffending someone when I let it happen. Iā€™m offending you, and youā€™re the last person I want to hurt, Katara!ā€
ā€œAang, I know you are loyal to me, and I trust you. But I donā€™t like feeling jealous, and I do think there are things you could do to lessen the problem.ā€
ā€œOkay. Iā€™ll be better. Iā€™ll be more upfront in discouraging women who hit on me.ā€ Aang looked at her with a crooked smile, ā€œand what about you? If Iā€™m supposed to burn these girls, does that mean you have to freeze the guys that hit on you?ā€ Aang added cheekily.
Katara laughed, and Aang added, ā€œThen when we are finally back together after this time away from one another we can compare casualty-counts; sound fair?ā€
ā€œDeal!ā€
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦....
A/N: Anyone else feel like Aang is a little oblivious to girls flirting with him? We saw it in the show a little, and even more in the comics. I think that Katara would have a problem with this (and you canā€™t really blame her too much, right?)
Anyway, please leave me your thoughts!

Strange, Embarrassing, and Small but Lingering Problem that could use some Advice
Sorry if it becomes rant-ish but i'm trying to include as much detail as i can so pls read all. Think i could use some advice. Am young so not much wisdom, especially in regards to sex which this stems from
Kicked off around 12-14 months ago. Girlfriend of a better part of a year said lets go straight to sex (bypassing other sexual acts). Went badly, couldn't get it up, happened a few more times. Was first few times trying to have sex. I believe this was due to us not being comfortable with each other, with sexual acts in general (hence bypassing), and rushing into it when we were kinda apprehensive at heart. This combined with the cycle of performance anxiety caused it to happen again and again with her. Although it eventually got better as we got more comfortable with everything, but then there were other hurdles to jump with her this time that aren't worth getting into. But before these all these hurdles could be jumped we broke up because of me getting cheated on repeatedly (cucboi i know).
Days pass and i'm able to deal with the break up but the sexual fuck ups and events linger with me and has been bugging me ever since in some form.
Initially it bugged me as i thought there was something wrong with me, and feelings of inferiority and doubt about future situations mainly sexual, were on my mind a lot. Whenever something sexually suggestive would enter my mind it would be met with a wave of anxiety.
Time went on and after failing to ignore it i did more research on performance anxiety etc etc, with me telling myself "well simply put if we don't want to do something, don't force yourself too" and other basic shit about keeping calm, and got more to grips with why it fucked up in the first place, which kinda calmed the anxiousness, but eventually it came back into the fold.
Now as everyone is getting older and more mature, and sex becomes a more common normal thing to experience for people, the anxiousness has only increased. Things are always on my mind now, i think a lot about future situations where i'm gonna fuck up, about the need to just get out and overcome it and find someone to stick my dick in but how this would fuck up, about how i think i'm digging myself into a hole where i'm forever going to be too panicked to get it up, about how this kinda makes me inferior. I think i may stress about the future quite a bit anyway but who doesn't
This all drains from my confidence and charisma and i don't like it. I'd like to think i'm a good person, iv'e definitely got a libido seeing as i beat my dick all the time, I've never had any real proper anxiety or mental health issues, maybe a perfectionist to a degree, quite socially conscious (never been terrible though, quite outgoing, but aren't all young people socially conscious), wasn't raised in a strict childhood, didn't have a complete lack of sex ed. I just want to stop having my confidence and charisma drained by this retarded problem and live as a teenager, I'm not saying i want to become an animal under the sheets, i just want to be able to have experiences and not have anxiousness about them, i'm never going to get these years back once they are gone and i don't want them dominated by anxiety. I also couldn't really go for a long term gf as i have very little spare time, cash, and am probably moving from my city to a university in a year or so, not ruling relationships of some kinds out though
Any advice would help, i just want to get something done about it, will answer any questions if need be. Apologies to people on here with more serious problems feels like i'm being insulting with this but i had no one else to ask, too embarrassed to do so
Edit: btw pretty much quit porn by now too
