Can we all give Mike Wheeler some understanding, please? I don't wanna hear your whiny ass say that Mike Wheeler isn't good enough for Will one more time, I WILL find your home address. (Directed)
"Will isn't 'head over heels' for Mike, he just has a crush" I'm sorry but did you have your eyes closed in the interview in which his actor explains how he's been in love with Mike since the first season?? Hello???
Mike Wheeler is a gay boy in the '80s. Mike Wheeler is dating a girl he doesn't love romantically to appear "normal". Mike Wheeler has seen several people brutally die in front of him. Mike Wheeler had to witness the disappearance and possession of his best friend. Mike Wheeler has dealt with thinking two people he cares about have died. Mike Wheeler is a boy who went through homophobic bullying. Mike Wheeler is a boy who had to save the world four times already.
MIKE WHEELER IS A BOY.
He dealt with all this bullshit at the VERY young age that is 12-15. You want to tell this kid he's a bad person for being stressed? He has so much on his mind at such a young age from literally all of that and you expect him to act rational? Peaceful? "Correct"??š
You are literally stupid if you think that's the proper opinion. He is going through the same shit as the other characters, the only reason you don't get pissed at Will is because he internalizes his feelings, rather than kind of exploding (which is what Mike does). These are just different responses to trauma, dumbass. Sorry it doesn't look pretty for you, but that's not how it works.
Erm, have the day you deserve, I guess. Bye, chat.
#this is directed#at that one person who is always on my pinterest fyp#fuck you#you dont understand anything#just because Mike doesn't have the capacity to hold in everything he's dealing with doesn't mean he's a bad person for letting it out#it just means he's a teenager dealing with way too much bullshit for his age and doesn't have anyone to help him#because of that fact that everything he's dealing with is stuff he's ashamed about#he cant say ''hey im gay and having a hard time accepting myself'' becaue then people would know#no one is there to tell him that its okay#jesus christ#this is all reflective of how you'd deal with people in your own life too#you must be a pain in the ASS to be around#byler#stranger things#mike wheeler#will byers#byler endgame#mike wheeler apologist#byler tumblr#st5#byler nation

Cant leave ya hanging there blue your my favourite author here š
I was the anonymous person who messaged earlier that I found images of similar dr kry and silas (and probably Ares? Not ENTIRELY SURE but oh well..)
Silas (found it on my tiktok fyp, when this popped up on my fyp immidiately he looks super similar to silas! What do you think?
(ArEs??? IS iT ArEs Or NoT? WHAT DO YOU THINK?? šš, i found it too on my tiktok fyp same as silas)
Dr kry (i read this manhwa 1 week ago and omg I love Garden of the Dead Flowers! Especially Wim here! When i saw his character i knew he looked a TINY BIT similar to dr kry? Idk what do you think?)
Ft. Hedwig photos i found on pinterest :3 (
+ 1 edmund kinda photo?
OHOHOO THATS ONLY THOUGH I SHOULD HAVE FIND JERRY TOO BUT ITS SO COMPLICATED TO FIND HER FACE CLAIM š, but tbh i picture han so hee as her? Do you agree? ICANTLIVEWITHTHISANYMRRK
Anyways ill find more dr kry and jerry tho! See ya š„ø
Those two really fit as the Achilleos brothers!! I do see Silas having a bit more hair and beard than Ares and Ares having that exact hairstyle god damn???? did you look into my brain?
I can't explain how I see Kry because he is so specific in my head and nothing matches it and it is so frustrating. I wish that you all could see how i see him. The drawings don't remind me of him unfortunately.
But the hedwig ones are really good (ESPECIALLY THE ONE IN THE TOP RIGHT) because I have had a hard time finding pics that visualize how I see hedwig. All the pics i've found of the girls that have reminded me of Hedwig have had too sharp features, if you get what i mean. Sharp cheekbones, sharp look in the eyes. Or they've been too soft for Hedwig. I've always seen Hedwig as more of a soft features girl: a little rounder cheeks, rounder eyes etc, while also having a slight sharpness that is going undetected unless she is in her yandere "mood". And her hair is a mystery to me too. I don't know if she has blonde-blonde hair or ash blonde, or highlighted hair :,)
I feel like the Edmund photo is more of a "modern" beauty or almost too beautiful, like unreal, if you get what i mean. Edmund is supposed to be just another person, not a model. None of my characters should look like models (apart from Hedwig I suppose) since they're supposed to be normal people. They're good looking, but not models. It's hard to explain how Edmund looks like apart from the black hair and icy blue eyes unfortunately :(
there is something about this that reminds me of edmund ...
I find it really hard to find pics of Jerry too because she is so specific in my head, but i have said before that Han So Hee when she is in "my name" is a pretty good visualization to have. This woman, Lee Joo Young in this pic is also pretty good
if you do find more, please send me<3

I know no one asked, but I have exactly zero (0) people to talk about bkdk with irl so here you guys go
My BKDK Journey
Yes, this sounds stupid, but my god itās been almost three years of an absolute rollercoaster of feelings and denials and tears and revelationsā¦
and if you donāt mind, Iām gonna rant about it.
(not spoiler free)
_____
May 2021
To start off, i wasnāt always a bkdk shipper.
I shipped izu*cha at first (not saying itās a bad ship btw; itās actually quite cute. im just afraid peopleāll be mad if I accidentally invade their tag lol), primarily because I assumed that would be the ship that became canon.
But also, my veryyyyy leasttttt favorite characterā¦ was Bakugou Katsuki.
When I tell you that I wouldāve loved nothing more than to somehow spawn into the bnha universe and punch that brat in the faceā AGHHHHHHHHHH
Now this wasnāt all his fault: A) I watched the dub first lol, and B) he reminded me of someone that i was not in a place to stand up to at the time, and his constant anger, yelling, and harsh treatment of Izukuāwho i began to relate toāmade me hateeee him.
There was a time when I literally said āif he died, I wouldnāt miss him.ā <- this was later proven false lol
So, I was watching the anime dub with an absolute animosity for our resident deuteragonist, but on top of thatā¦
I was watching it with a friend with a crunchyroll account who lived in another state that I was visiting and staying with for two weeks, so by the time i had to go back home, weād only gotten up to the part where All Might was getting Inkoās permission to let Izuku stay at the UA dorms.
Anddddddd in my drive to consume more bnha once I got home, i somehow stumbled across an Instagram account that posted bnha sub episodes divided into parts,
but they only had season four and onwards.
Sooooo I never saw the second half of season threeā¦ more importantly,
I NEVER SAW DEKU VS KACCHAN 2!!!!!
(I will say that I had seen a couple photos/edits/etc, but I never knew what had been said, or why they fought)
_____
June 2021
At this point in time, Iād been exposed to a lot of the fandom. My fyp on both IG and Pinterest were filled to the brim with all things bnha (because this is what happens when one has a hyperfixation), so I saw a lot of stuff.
Especially fanart.
This is where I started learning about the different ships.
I saw a lot of the side character ships and thought they were adorable (kamijirou, todomomo, even kiribaku), but then I saw some with Izuku.
Izu*cha was a given for me. I didnāt think there was a single person that didnāt ship it. But then I started seeing fanart of ships like tododeku, shindeku, and bakudeku.
And my first reaction to finding out that people shipped my beautiful baby sunshine boi with the person who bullied him for years?????
HELLLLLLLLLLL NO
So with my (unknowingly) limited knowledge of their relationship, i was very much an anti (i never spoke out or anything, i just reallyyyy didnāt like the ship lol)
(And then, you know, I started to see all the bkdk hate online and kinda went āokay not touching thatā)
But that began to changeā¦
_____
August 2021
ā¦after I saw a manga leak for the first time.
I was scrolling thru my feed and all of a sudden. BOOM!
I was like š§
IS THAT IZUKU?????
And i looked in the comments and yes it was.
I checked out the page and found that they had an entire account of manga leaks and was so happy.
I quickly began to read from the very bottom of that account, and it started from right about where Izuku first began his vigilante arc (i had no idea how much was in between then and where I left off on the anime, but I was willing to read it lol)
And so I waited diligently for the leaks every week (a practice I have continued to uphold lol), until one day, i came across an untranslated series of panels from the latest chapter. I looked at it and it was of Katsuki and Izuku, facing each other in the rain (you know the one). I knew the leaks would be coming a day later, but I wanted to look through them anyways, so I did.
I didnāt understand a word they said, but the pictures and imagery of them as kids then middle schoolers then where they were now seemed so touchingā¦
And then I came across a pair of kanji that I recognized.
I was like āwait WHAT???ā
I zoomed in and went āthatā isnāt thatā? Thatās part of Midoriyaās name, right???ā
And then I was like āwait a secondā¦ omg thatās Izuku, isnāt it. Thatās the freaking kanji for Izuku.ā
And it was!!!!!
So inside Iām having a mini freakout cuzā
Bakugou just called him IZUKU
Fast forward to the next day, and I looked at the translated version, and found out that not only did he call him Izuku,
He
Freaking
APOLOGIZED
And I was like āhuhhhhhhhā
What happened between now and the most recent anime episodes for this to occur???? For Bakugou to do a complete 180 and apologize????????
Well, I finally got my answersā¦
_____
November 2021
ā¦when I started reading the manga.
I started from the beginning, cuz I wanted to see Horikoshiās art style and the extra drawings and all the other stuffā¦
And when I tell you that Katsuki became a whole new character to meā
First, I read everything about early-on Bakugouā without hearing him yell in his dub voiceāand realized āoh wow he really is just a kid with issues and a worldview that heās now having to change.ā
Then, I finally read what happened in that space between moving into the dorms and the beginning of season four (most importantly, DvK2).
Cried.
Then, oh then, I got up to where season five ended and the rest of the manga began.
. . .
Funny thing: back when I read the leaks to ch322, I remember thinking to myself, āhuh. what did Bakugou mean by Shigaraki making swiss cheese outta him?ā
š¦
THE WAY I GASPED
AND THEN CRIED
OH MY FREAKING GOD
That was the moment where i truly ceased to hate Katsuki cuz holy character development batman
Then, of course, we see them in recovery
And then the vigilante arc and apology scene *sobs*
And then I was caught up.
(Btw I finished the entire manga up ātil ch334 in just over a week. I read for nine days straight. During the school year. My emotions were all over the place goodness gracious I could barely concentrate.)
So thatās how I went from being a Bakugou hater to going āyou know what heās a complex character and heās slowly becoming a better personā and realizing that he was now one of my fav characters and therefore cursed to die but Iāll talk about that later
Was I now a bakudeku shipper?
Hah nope.
_____
December 2021
I began my dive into the true essence of any fandom: fanfiction.
Over the course of winter break, I had started off with fics that had no romantic pairing (I just wanted to see my boi Izuku), but then somehow stumbled across Mastermind: Strategist for Hire and then read the entirety of the For Want of a Nail series (shoutout to Clouds btw ā¤ļø) cuz I was like āok whew no bkdk ficsā which was my mindset at the time.
But somehow (I canāt even remember how I found it) I came across a bkdk fic. It was called For Want of Izukuās Toe Joint by Talavin (okay now that I think about it thereās probably a simple explanation lol).
I donāt quite know what compelled me to start reading it, but I did.
And I really liked it.
But not in the āIāve been convertedā kinda way.
It was like an āI shouldnāt be enjoying this why am I enjoying this?ā kinda feeling. Like my head says no but my heart says yeah.
A really really really really guilty pleasure.
So, from that day on, whenever I came across any form of bkdk media, I would simultaneously feel discomfort and yet an odd sense of satisfaction.
A snippet of my daily life:
Me: *comes across bkdk fanart on pinterest*
Me: eww
Also me: *stares at it for like five minutes straight*
Me: who even likes this?
Also me: *saves pin to my mha board*
Me: not my ship
Also me: *scrolls down to more like this*
Bless my heart I was in such denial.
_____
July 2022
Bit of a timeskip, but nothing of note really happened in those last six months so here we go.
Weāve gotten to the point in the manga where the final arc is underway and Bakugou is about to KICK SOME BUTT
Heās revealed his Panser Strafe support item and Iām gushing about it to my friend (she kinda fell out of the fandom but still tolerated my rants bless her)
Oh, side note: it was then that I also expressed my concern for Bakugouās āaliveā status
Evidence:
For reference, some of my favorite characters are:
Beth March (Little Women)
John Reese (Person of Interest)
Joss Carter (Person of Interest)
Leonard Snart (Arrowverse)
Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)
Fantine (Les Mis)
Eponine (Les Mis)
Jean Valjean (Les Mis)
Simon (Lord of the Flies)
Piggy (Lord of the Flies)
Grace Stone (Manifest)
Bubaigawara Jin ā Twice (BNHA)
Wanna guess which of these guys died?
Trick question! Itās all of them (:
Yeah so anyways those following chapters really made me excited and nervous cuz YEAH KICK HIS ASS BAKUGOU but also IZUKUUUUU WE NEED YOU
hah hah.
_____
August 2022
Utterly gobsmacked. Cried. Disbelief. Horrified. Confusion. Anger. Went through the five stages of grief and then some.
Sometimes I hate being right š„²
But the good thing that came from this was that my positive view of Katsuki only grew after seeing his utter faith in Izuku (and his thoughts being on him in his final moments???? š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ)
And it was at this point in time where I could admit to myself āyou know what? i see it. i see the appeal. i wouldnāt mind this actually becoming canon.ā
Did I think that it would actually become canon?? No.
_____
September 2022
I donāt know how I thought Izuku was gonna react to seeing Katsukiās body on the ground, but GOOD LORD IT WASNT THAT
Even sweet little blind me realized āoh wow he like really feels intense stuff for Katsuki huhā
(But some things I missedācuz I was still a bit wired for izu*chaāwere shigarakis implications āyeah u looooove the present I got uā and the freaking HEART that blackwhip caused??? when Izuku reeled himself back in???? like how did i miss that i read that chapter like fifteen times??)
So this is all to say that Iāve missed any and all actual bkdk hints up until this point. I finally lifted my head out of the izu*cha fog whenā¦
_____
July 2023
ā¦Ochako and Toga had their chat about romance.
The first actual hint was when Ochako had told Toga āIāll give you my blood for the rest of my life.ā
Little blind me became a bit less blind that day, cuz I was like āum. ochako? thatā that sounded kinda like a proposal. like. a marriage proposal. ochako??ā
And then those chapters just kept getting better!!
Bebe Ochakoās determination???
The Spirited Away moment?????
āIām envious of your smileā????????
āYOU REALLY THINK IM CUTE?ā āTHE CUTEST IN THE WHOLE WORLDā LIKE ššššš
For the first time, I was looking at the manga without the assumption that izu*cha would be endgame. And it only got better after Iā¦
_____
August 2023
ā¦got Tumblr!!!
Everything was downhill from here folks.
In the best possible way.
I came across some analyses of what was going on with togachako, and consequently led me to some bakudeku analyses. I read them and my goodness they made so much sense.
Like not even just personality-wise!! Those metas brought in actual things Horikoshi said about wanting to go outside the norms of shounen (and about not liking the Naruto ending š), and compared bkdk to tropes in different works of fiction, and even discussed how bkdk made sense narratively. They properly convinced me of the ship.
And then for good measure, I reread the manga in its entirety thru a bkdk filter, and lo and behold things took on new meanings and my eyes were opened.
I totally and irrevocably shipped them! And I actually thought they had a chance at being canon!!
(And then I binged so much bkdk fanfiction omg you wouldnāt BELIEVE like I read the ones with the highest kudos first and then just picked the biggest collections I could find and read down the line
It was like being on drugs like each fic gave me more dopamine than the last I was so happy oh my god)
_____
October 2023
And then finally, the day came.
The answer to āis bakugou alive yet?ā became a yes.
We screamed. We cried. We jumped for joy. We told bakugou antis to suck it. But most of all, our bkdk hearts soared to see our boys make eye contact with each other for the first time in over a year š„¹
And from that moment on, I truly began to believe that bkdk would indeed become canon.
_____
And so, this concludes my 42672288 page rant about how I came to be a bkdk shipper.
Thank you for reading, and before I go, I want to ask:
How did you guys get into bkdk?
Did you convert over from izu*cha? Or perhaps tododeku? Or maybe kiribaku? Or are you one of the few who have shipped them since the beginning??
In any case, Iām happy youāre here. And while it may have taken me a couple years, Iām happy that Iām here too :)
(and thank you @animelover32456)

Ngl, we need your analyses and posts on TikTok. The amount of brainless people (Marauders fans) spewing such immense shit on this app is crazy. I need more balance on my fyp and they need to be educated about classism and racism
Honestly, Iām not on TikTok at all; I only use it to watch meme videos and stay updated on political news from my country. But I avoid exploring fandoms because I know itāll just piss me off. I mean, I already get annoyed watching random videos unrelated to that because of the sheer amount of nonsense people spout, so for my mental health, Iāve completely banned myself from watching opinion videos on any topic. The problem nowadays is that people think that just because they have a microphone and a camera, theyāre automatically qualified to share opinions about anything, even if they havenāt got the slightest clue what theyāre talking about. You hear so much idiocy that your brain feels like itās going to explode.
One of the things that irritates me the most about the Marauders fandom and Marauders stans is their blatant double standards. They legitimize themselves by claiming to hate JK Rowling and adopt this false progressive mask that capitalizes on the LGBTQ+ community to justify distorting canon. But in reality, itās just a cheap pinkwashing tactic to trivialize the actions of characters who were, at best, bullies, and, in some cases, outright psychopaths (like some of the Slytherins, who are forgiven simply because they fit neatly into their Pinterest boards). Then they turn around and claim they canāt extend the same leniency to Severus, using completely fallacious and decontextualized arguments that, to top it off, donāt even align with the storyās foundations.
Take the topic of racism, for example. Equating blood purity with racism is an astronomically absurd socio-cultural leap. Racism is a political system established by colonialism and perpetuated by capitalist dynamics. It literally objectifies a portion of the population, dehumanizing them to the point where they arenāt even considered people, but beasts of burden. Itās rooted in the exploitation and expropriation of entire cultures, leading to the enslavement of their people, who were reduced to being propertyāmere objects of trade and consumption. Starting from that, even mentioning racism in this story feels like a massive insult. Thereās no historical precedent of wizards colonizing Muggles, no record of wizards enslaving Muggles, no apartheid against Muggles. Muggle-borns havenāt been excluded from magical institutions due to segregation, havenāt had to attend separate schools, and havenāt been barred from working in magical government. Theyāve always had the same rights as pure-blood or half-blood wizards. Theyāve had the same opportunities, the same educational foundations, and the same access to jobs and social resources. Claiming that āblood purity = racismā not only reveals a complete lack of basic knowledge about how systems of oppression work (particularly race), but also a crude and pathetic attempt to use a serious and real societal issue as a frivolous token to prop up an argument based on fallacies. I genuinely hope that those who constantly throw around the term āracismā in this context are just kids who havenāt come out of their shells yet because any adult with some life experience and common sense should feel utterly ashamed. And I say this as someone who isnāt racializedāI donāt think you need to be to have some basic common sense or even a minimum level of general knowledge.
Moreover, the racism angle doesnāt hold water because it wasnāt Rowlingās intention. If anything, her intention was to create an analogy with 20th-century fascism, which is basically the big trauma of any standard white European person. And even then, she did a terrible job of it. While Voldemort might initially seem to parallel Hitler, the social reality of the wizarding world as presented by Rowling diverges significantly from the factors that facilitated the rise of fascism in certain countries during the first half of the last century.
For starters, in this case, pure-blood wizardsāor even Voldemortās non-pure-blood followersāarenāt a majority but a minority. This alone is a fundamental variation in the dynamics of events because in countries where fascist dictatorships were established, or at least attempted, the acceptance rate of radical ideas was majority-based or at least had a substantial popular backing. Itās not Muggles whoāve had to hide for centuries, not Muggles whoāve chosen to create their own communities separate from wizards, not Muggles whoāve opted to remain in the shadows. Itās the wizards. Another key difference.
The anti-Semitic rhetoric that gained traction in Nazi Germany was based on the perception of certain minorities (minoritiesāand this is crucial) as āthe other.ā This āotherā was dehumanized to the point of creating a narrative that turned them into not just enemies but a threat to the general population. This was achieved through relentless propaganda campaigns, aided by an economic crisis and resentment towards the rest of Europe after the sanctions imposed following World War I.
In the case of blood purity, the minority is pure-blood wizards, and the issue stems from their disdain for the idea of Muggle-borns freely participating in their world. Ironically, they fear this could begin to dismantle the insular world theyāve created for themselves and lead to social advancements and changes in their traditions. Voldemort exploits this and directly appeals to the upper classes and powerful families (unlike traditional fascism, which appeals to the masses, not small elite groups) who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. He doesnāt need a smear campaign against Muggle-borns because heās already capitalizing on the prejudices of the elites heās targeting. Nor does he need to mobilize the entire wizarding population because, as far as we know, the vast majority either oppose him or remain neutral. Voldemort wouldnāt have won an election; he imposes everything through sheer force.
Even with the parallels Rowling attempts to draw, albeit clumsily, they donāt hold up.
What really bothers me is that both racism and fascism are incredibly serious and complex issues that people in this fandom casually throw around as buzzwords to give themselves an air of importance while engaging in hateful discourse. Ironically, they treat these topics with the same frivolity, lack of depth, and ignorance as Rowling herself did when she tried to shoehorn them into her plot. The very same people who pride themselves on hating JK Rowling fall into the same oversimplifications, the same lack of perspective, and the same privileged, narrow view of social issues as she does. Itās pathetic.
Whatās even more pathetic is that this behavior reveals that everything about them and their fandom isnāt progressive at allāitās just empty performativity, built on shaky foundations, reeking of classism and body-shaming.
And I donāt even know why Iāve written this whole essayāIāve been drafting an official document on the side, and I got carried away lol.
Anyway, you get what I meanāthese people are idiots. Thatās the summary. xD

The amount of AI generated "art" on my pinterest fyp is annoying. Like there's this one specific style that I keep seeing and instantly recognize it. To confirm I check the hands, the hair and the eyes... it's always AI
It's like... its not that its bad looking necessarily. It's OFF. It's just lifeless. In the same sense an AI bot would be to talk to. Programmed to replicate something human.
Maybe to someone who is not an artist it doesn't matter but I can't imagine not experiencing the joy of the process, the frustration and the eventual success you feel as the person who crafted something on paper or canvas or whatever you work on with your own hands. The beauty of art to me is the unpredictability, the process, the chance of failure which makes it all the more special. It's so very human and no matter how good AI becomes at mashing images together it will never take away the joy I get from creating art.

I COULD TALK ABOUT THIS FOREVER!
obviously kirk hammett š©·
thereās so many reasons why i love him. heās super sweet and caring and i relate so much to him because we share a lot of the same experiences. my father would play metallica frequently when i was a child, and his favorite song was enter sandman. i loved this song growing up, but this year when i saw who was playing the badass guitar solo i would pretend to play with my air guitar, i was like oh my god heās fucking beautiful. i kid you not the whole reason i dug deep into metallica and discovered more about metal in the first place is because an edit of kirk popped up on my fyp!! i just love genuine people and he certainly is one!! probably my favorite rock star of all time i love my husband!! š«¶š¾
dave grohl š©·
i really forgot how i got into him it just happened. i think itās because i was like āwait thatās dave from nirvana, heās the lead singer of foo fighters wtf!?ābut i love his personality so much, heās so strong. it really hit me with everything he went through, losing the people important in his life and still he kept pushing and helps out others. heās just very selfless and i love him to pieces. AND HEāS SO CUTE LOOK AT HIM!!
sebastian bach š©·
WOOO JESUS. okay. i was scrolling through pinterest one day and saw this man because i discovered rachel bolan existed and he was in a picture with him. i was like sorry rachel, but your friend is way hotter LMFAO. so the more i looked at him i was like wow i need him. i started looking at videos and interviews of him and i fell in love with his personality! heās so fucking funny, also the whole reason he got kicked out of skid row is fucking insane and i love seb so much.
chris cornell š©·
oh jesus, okay. i love chris because you can hear the passion of music in his songs. when i was younger in elementary school my dad would play soundgarden a lot too, his favorite song being black hole sun. i didnāt understand why i felt the way i felt listening to this song being that i was only a kid, but it did something to me. growing up i found myself going back to that song and the more i grew up the more i understood why i felt that way and why my feelings towards that song increased. chris is such a creative mind and i miss him and his beautiful smile dearly.
cliff burton š©·
iām sorry to make yāall cry back to back (also this picture i love it so much bye)
but cliffā¦oh god. when i first really got into metallica i didnāt know he passed. i was just so attracted to his ādonāt give a fuck, society is fakeā attitude because thatās kinda how i am. he was himself regardless of what anyone else thought and his smile just always made me happy. and oh my god heās so talented. but he was just there to live life and do what he enjoyed and i admired that so much.

hiii sorry to bother but I have been getting into making my own clothes and I wanted to ask u if u knew how i could get more into fashion šš»šš»
honest to god i got into fashion just by hunting around the internet and seeing ppl i thoight looked cool lmao
i know a lot of people use pinterest for inspo but i never got into it my favourite place to go is tiktok even tho like pinterest it does promote a certain body type imo thereās a lot more style diversity and itās quick on trends too i follow a lot of sewing creators ( i also want to make my own clothes but i donāt have time w uni rn :( ) right now i LOVE eddysonline he has some great patterns for beginners the stuff is rather feminine so if thatās ur thing iād definitely recommend his in depth tutorials
knowing what to do with the clothes once u have them is probably a rlly important bit so i also follow a lot of style creators like andreaās fashion galaxy is one of my faves sheās so fun i also have michaila cothran for more bratz type looks and obv mĆ„neskin are one of my faves for eccentric fashions fashion is so diverse in aesthetics there will always be someone or a group of people that u will find for inspiration number one is have a think about who you appreciate aesthetically and if you want that to translate to your own fashion aesthetic
i will say a lot of fashion tiktok leaves me uninspired bc itās the same jeans leather jacket clean girl combo or skims bodysuit or oh polly dress all in black white and beige so searching for fashiontok might seem a bit fruitless if thatās not what ur into
personally id try looking like styling [clothing style] outfit or [clothing style] sewing patterns if you start following some youāll end up with more cropping up onto your fyp introducing you to new styles and aesthetics you can find out what aesthetics you enjoy things you want to try out or just tips to elevate outfits with clothes u already have
another thing i like to do is just pick one thing out of my wardrobe and try to style as many outfits as i can with that one thing it challenges the way youād normally think about your clothing you might find yourself layering things youād never considered or wearing it in a way thatās different that the way it was intended it gives you an opportunity to try things out and learn how to style things that good on your body instead of just emulating what other people are doing online
i rlly hope u have fun making clothes it seems like a rlly cool hobby i would sell feet pics to make clothes if i had to

babysitting duties š¦¹ LN4
PAIRINGS: lando norris x female!reader
SUMMARY: who knew that babysitting your four-year-old niece would make you feel things and imagine a life with lando, with a kid and family of your own.
AUTHORāS NOTE: all these lando interactions with kids in my fyp got me, so here you go. hope you enjoy this one! :)
REMINDERS: this is purely fiction, the way how the character is portrayed in my story does not reflect the person that is portraying my character in real life. always separate fiction from reality, and do not repost or copy my work in any way.
WORD COUNT: 1.2k
WARNINGS: typos, photos grabbed from pinterest, inaccuracies of the photos, and baby fever
It was a busy race week, but it didnāt stop you and Lando from taking on a new role as temporary guardians. Your brother and his wife are currently away for a business trip, and flew their four-year-old daughter, ChloĆ©, to Monaco to be in your care for three weeks, so thatās basically a whole month with her. ChloĆ© had quickly become attached to both of you, especially Lando, who had easily embraced the added responsibility very proudly. Now, sheās living with you both in your shared apartment in Monaco, and despite the busyness of the race week, she was certainly coming along for the ride.
You entered the paddock hand in hand with Lando, while he was carrying ChloĆ© in his arms, balancing her weight effortlessly as if heād done it a hundred times before, with her tiny arms wrapped around his neck. ChloĆ©, with her bright eyes and boundless curiosity, had become an instant star amongst the paddock. She was also dressed to coordinate with you and Lando, with miniature personalized ear defenders completing the whole ensemble. You couldnāt help but laugh at how effortlessly she charmed everyone around her.
āShe looks so much like you two!ā Someone exclaimed as you passed by. Lando quickly gave you a playful nudge.
āWell, we do make a good-looking family, donāt we?ā He said cheekily, sending you a wink. You couldnāt help but laugh at the idea of rolling with the misconception that ChloĆ© was your daughter suddenly became amusing for you.
āYou two look like a proper happy family, eh?ā Carlos teased as he approached, grinning mischievously, and giving ChloĆ© a high five.
Lando chuckled, glancing over at you with a playful smirk. āMaybe we should let them think that, huh?ā
You playfully rolled your eyes and chuckled, āyou really have a knack for stirring the media, donāt you?ā
āAnything to keep them in their toes.ā You all laughed. āLet them have their field day. They want headlines, then let them eat this up.ā He added.
ChloĆ©, oblivious to the whole conversation that is going on, tapped Landoās shoulder gently. āCan we see the cars now, Uncle Lan?ā
He ruffled her hair and pressed a soft kiss on her temple. āIn a bit, Koko. First, we have to make sure that Uncle Lan wins this weekend.ā She giggled, her innocent laughter melting the hearts of the people around.
As the three of you continued through the paddock, other drivers couldnāt help but stop and coo at her and with Lando joking that ChloĆ© should call Fernando āgrandpa nandoā, in which the older didnāt mind, and find ChloĆ© a very wonderful kid. She even got Oscar to play with her, pretending to race alongside her as she ran towards him, he got ChloĆ© to behave like a car, and squealed so hard with laughter, clearly enjoying every second of her playful interaction with Oscar.
Then Max came over, pretending to be serious but a soft smile was threatening to break through. āI didnāt know you two had a secret kid. When did this happen?ā
You laughed, shaking your head. āSheās my niece. But for the thrill of it, letās start some rumors.ā
āCouldāve fooled me! You three looked like a picture-perfect family.ā Max smirked, āsheās too cute not to be yours, mate.ā
āSee?ā Lando chimed in, nudging you lightly with his elbow. āTold you, weāre a great team. Maybe we should borrow her every race weekend, love. Just to keep everyone guessing.ā
āYeah and Iāll get an earful from my brother in return for making her miss Kumon just to attend a race weekend with us.ā You laughed, shaking your head.
ChloĆ© had asked to be brought down from Landoās arms, wanting to walk, and now, sheās swinging between the two of you, and you couldnāt help but smile at the way Lando looked at her. Lando had always been really great with kids, but seeing him in this light, with ChloĆ©, felt like something deeper. There was an unspoken ease in the way he handled it, as if it wasnāt a huge leap from where you both already were.
Just then, Charles strolled over, taking a good look at the three of you. āA mini Norris already?! This weekend just got more interesting, huh?ā
Before you could reply, ChloĆ© pointed at Charlesās shirt. āI like your red shirt!ā She announced, earning a laugh from everyone around.
Charles knelt down to her height, his eyes lighting up with genuine affection. āThank you! I like your ear defenders. Maybe one day youāll be in the car too?ā
She beamed, nodding with all the confidence in the world. āI will! And Iāll beat Uncle Lan!ā
You all burst into laughter, and Lando playfully feigned shock. āWhoa, hold on! Youāre supposed to be on my side!ā
āKoko is really adorable.ā Charles smiled as he put out a hand for ChloĆ© to high five, ācan Uncle Charles get a hug?ā She giggled and ran up to Charles, her tiny arms wrapping around his neck.
You smiled, watching the scene unfold, heart full from how she effortlessly fit into this world. It was sweet, chaotic, and somehow, everything just felt right. But honestly, all of this is making you feel a little bit of a baby fever.
The day continued on and more drivers stopped by to say hello, each of them being enamored. Even some of the team staff were swooning over how adorable she runs towards Lando and climbing to sit on his lap during brief moments in the garage. Lando even gently placed her inside his car, much to her delight. ChloĆ©ās eyes sparkled as she explored the cockpit and touched the steering wheel, her giggles echoing through the garage. The whole team watched it all with fond smiles, exchanging knowing looks.
ChloĆ© continued to win everyoneās heart, even joining Lando in signing autographs, and each time a fan got their merch signed, sheād beam proudly and say, āI helped!ā
At one point, Toto passed by, taking one look at the three of you and shaking his head with an amused grin. āYou two should just get married already and have one of your own. This one suits you.ā
You blushed, the thought of you and Lando getting married and having a child of your own. Stammering out a response as Lando laughed beside you. āOh no, weāreā¦weāre just babysitting.ā
āSure,ā Toto said with a knowing wink before walking away.
By the time the day came to an end, ChloĆ© had fallen asleep in Landoās arms, her tiny body curled up against him. You glanced over and saw how tenderly Lando held her, stroking her hair softly. Witnessing this scene had made your heart flutter and melt.
āYou know,ā Lando said quietly, not wanting to wake her, āif this is what having a family looks likeā¦I wouldnāt mind having one someday with you.ā
You smiled, feeling your chest tighten with a mix of emotions. āSomeday,ā you agreed, leaning in to kiss him on the lips and him meeting you halfway.
For now, this was enoughāan amazing race weekend, ChloĆ©, and the unexpected joy of playing family for a little while. It was sweet, it was funny, and it was everything you didnāt know that you needed.

haikyuu boys tiktok trends with you
ā³ which of the haikyuu boys would you do these tiktok trends with? headcanons!! tiktok video references are linked to the trend names<3 note: established relationship, implied fem partner for all of them, lowercase intended. pictures used are not mine, all of them are found on pinterest or tiktok!!:) credits to the owners of the videos linked on this post as well
navigation . . . haikyuu masterlist
ā COQUETTE BOW/RIBBON
MATSUKAWA ISSEI he knows or atleast already has an idea of what the trend is before you asked him to do it because makki loves sending his whole tiktok fyp to the man. when you first came to him about the idea of doing the trend, he was going to agree of course, but not without a little teasing of how you just wanted to drool over his muscles or "you're that down bad, huh?" his words, not mine. after recording, he sent the video to his gc with the other seijoh third years, almost immediately gaining oikawa and makki's exaggerated replies.
MIYA OSAMU he saw a video of a trend the past week on suna's phone when he was scrolling through tiktok during a break between practice. he didn't give it a second thought until you showed him a video of the trend, urging him to do it. he really didn't see the point of it, but after more convincing and the promise of cooking dinner together later tonight, he caved in to your request.
USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI it was normal for you to be running toward him with your phone in hand, he already knew you were going to show him another one of those "tiktok trends" you're always so excited about. though this one was a bit different to him. most of the past trends you showed him were dances, or typical hand gestures. while you were showing him the video on your phone, he just thought it was a way to show off the arm muscles someone worked hard for. he personally didn't feel the need to show off his muscles, but since you looked set on making him do the trend, he agreed to do so.
KUROO TETSURO the second you saw a video of this trend pass by your fyp, you immediately thought of your man. you didn't know how but his arms have been looking do?? good?? lately?? you honestly don't know how he does it. getting him to hop on the trend was fairly easy. he always agreed to (mostly) whatever you wanted to do, after all. but that didn't stop the never ending flirting coming out of his mouth. "you like my arms THAT bad, huh princess" "you know, there are other ways I can show you my bicep improvement" cue his stupidly teasing smirk.
IWAIZUMI HAJIME his first thought was that oikawa put you up to making him do the trend. but not wanting the poor captain to be the receiving end of these accusations, you dismissed the thought right away. reasoning how you only thought how good he's look doing it. he was flattered, sure, but he still didn't see the point of the whole thing. but he'd do anything for you, so sooner or later he was on board. the video got to oikawa though, so just imagine the amount of teasing and volleyballs thrown the day his best friend saw the video.
TERUSHIMA YUUJI you weren't even the one who proposed doing the trend with him. he was the one who came up to you with a ribbon and his phone in hand, going on and on about how ripping the ribbon would be so easy. you were reluctant on helping him film the video because if he was able to do it, you knew how much it would inflate his ego. but nevertheless, you tied the ribbon around his upper bicep as he handed his phone over to you to start recording.
MIYA ATSUMU both of you came to each other at the same time with the proposal to do the trend, actually. atsumu with his plan to show off to his brother later, and you with the thought of how good your boyfriend would look, and overall the tradition of the both of you doing as much tiktok trends as possible. as long as it's appropriate, of course. he was ecstatic to find out you wanted him to do the trend as much as he did.
BOKUTO KOTAROU the moment you finished explaining the trend to him and telling him you wanted him to do it, man was he excited. he was practically bouncing up and down at the thought of you thinking about him when you saw the video. and the fact that you went out of your way to personally tell him you wanted him to do it??? how could he say no?
ARAN OJIRO he wouldn't be too updated on what's popular or trending on social media, and this is one of the trends he wasn't aware about. the both of you were sitting together when the video passed by your for you page. the idea of persuading your boyfriend to do the same thing was what almost immediately came to mind. you tapped him on the shoulder, showed him the video, then explained how it worked. he didn't see what was so important about ripping a ribbon into two, but still, he reluctantly agreed.
+ ur favs
ā BEAUTIFUL BOY
HAIBA LEV the both of you would be at his house, and alisa just so happen to leave her hair clips in the living room. having seen the video earlier that day, you urged lev to sit down on the floor in front of you on the couch. without question, he followed. though he was curious on why you were putting his sister's clips in his hair (you texted alisa asking for permission first ofc) then began recording out of nowhere. you told him about the trend, and that was when he got excited. "you think I'm beautiful?" he asks you with the biggest grin.
YAMAGUCHI TADASHI he would be so shy about you asking him to do the trend. he never thought of having hair clips in his hair, not only that though, you thought he was beautiful? the whole time you were putting the clips in his hair, that was all that was running through his head. he really couldn't believe it. after that day, you made sure to constantly assure him of his jaw dropping looks.
KITA SHINSUKE before you brought up the idea of doing the trend to him, you made sure that neither of you had any plans that day. kita didn't have practice or tests to study for, and that you didn't have tests to study for either or school works pending. you were sure he would talk you into finishing whatever you had to for school first before doing whatever else you wanted. (he just wanted the best for u) he questioned you about the trend at first, and the only answer you gave was that he's a beautiful boy. after that, he didn't deny it or asked any more questions. he enjoyed the comfort of you putting clips in his hair though.
HINATA SHOUYO man was bouncing off the walls the moment you brought up the trend to him. he was do flattered you thought of him. and so no questions asked, no doubts said, his head was already on your lap, with the small clips in his hand, handing them to you when you asked for one.
KOZUME KENMA he was playing a game when you told him about wanting to put clips in his hair. while you were talking, he had one side of his headphones, slightly put back so he can hear you. he threw glances your way while you were explaining the whole thing, and to your surprise, nodded when you were finished. "go ahead." was all he said. he plugged out his headphones and took them off so they weren't in the way. it was pretty convenient he was already sitting on the floor, so without any more time wasted, you got to work.
OIKAWA TORU he passed by you in the kitchen while you were on your phone. he was planning on watching another one of a rival team's past matches in the living room. before he left the kitchen, you called him and asked if you could put clips in his hair. he raised an eyebrow and you knew he was wondering why. he would still say yes without you explaining of course, but he knew there would be an actual reason with that excited look on your face. you told him about the trend and his face lit up. he knew he was a pretty boy but for you to confirm it? heck yeah he was going to let you put clips in his hair.
BOKUTO KOTAROU whenever he and akaashi were together, he was used to the latter being called the pretty or beautiful one. so imagine his joy when you went up to him showing him the video and calling him your beautiful boy. the both of you wasted no time getting your hair clips from your pouch and having him lay his head down on your lap. he was grinning the whole time all the while holding the hair clips for you.
TENDOU SATORI the moment you suggested putting hair clips in his hair, he raised an eyebrow at you. reasoning with him that it's a tiktok trend and that it's harmless, he reluctantly said yes. but when he found out what the trend was called, he sort of (?) short circuited and it may sound a bit over a top but he was flabbergasted. the rest of that day was spent with him sat on the floor in front of you whose on the couch, him quietly reading a manga while you decorated his hair with clips.
SAKUSA KIYOOMI he wasn't immediately fond of the idea of having small pieces of plastic in his hair, but since it was you; sure, it still took some (lots) of convincing and the promise that the clips are well sanitized, but eventually you got him on board. he didn't know what the purpose of all this is, but as long as it made you happy, he's all in. midway through it, you noticed the tip of his ears turning red. you asked him about it, but all he gave you was a shrug as a response. you calling him a beautiful boy stuck to him the whole time, but he won't tell you that.
+ your favs

Cold sheets, twilight streets
a one shot attempt at comedy and commentary, written in WhatsApp and not proofread
Set in the near future, somewhat cyberpunk ig
I hope youā¦ enjoy isnāt the right word, I hope this makes you feel something, even if that something is confusion <3
āāāāāāāāāāā
twilight, the streets are twilight, they say. It's supposed to be silent, be slow! but just a few months back there were people with their wearables and bots jogging along each sidewalk, swearing at vehicles, zoned out in their lenses... so what happened? it's really simple; trends.
like tidal microplastics, they come and go with the seasons- the 'tubers rave about the benefits of outdoor walking, get off the treadmill! don't just use an imitation world, take! the! goggles! off!, #real_world_walkers! full social media shitstorm, and then the streets are flooded! like rats after poison, celebrity socials after cancellation, the people flee their houses and embrace the outdoors! go, my brave followers, put those feet on the sidewalk! see your city without obscura, without all those pesky AR overlays. (you can download my custom overlays from my carrd! see like me!)
so for a few months you can see a person's happiness, their eyes, their nose, not just those cute avatars or custom models. like old movies. the wrinkles, the actual eyelashes, not just an anime overlay. walkers.
and then, comes "walkgate".
it sounds like an incident, a true imitation of... whatever "watergate" was, those decades back. but no, it's just the roast channels.
oh, the dudebros, with their fancy mic setups and brick background, super manly fursona, speaking like a purebred podcaster- every lukewarm, lightly misogynistic statement spoken as if it is the culmination of all of society's knowledge, that this unimpressive man who has some vaguely controversial opinions is the true wisdom giver.
they rush in, children on candy, activist on social cause (that they barely care about), and demean the poor walkers till their soles are obliterated more than they already are. because walkers go all in. they buy the latest, most hi-tech gear, download the most popping playlists, walk till their stylish (trendy) shien shoes inevitably break, scramble like squirrels on seeds, searching, seeking, finding- pinterest inspo! because if you are filmed with anything less than latest trend, you should order a grave (use code "hailbezos" for 50% off your next sustainable death package purchase!) because your bones are rotting and you are on death's doorstep. you cannot be old, it is sin as rotten as cringe.
and then they walk, and they walk, and they barely meet the thirty-day #real_world_walkers challenge-
because it's hard, isn't it? experiencing the world without romantic sentiments, aesthetic filters, having to really look and observe at what's happening around you. because it's always different that the fyp leads you to believe.
some walk till they die. they don't, of course- medicine has improved a shit ton, but that's good news. and that person will walk till they die because they want to. and a fyp pruned by a mind on the edge will have nothing but hands eager to push. and a walk outside, in this crowded city, yes there's suffering, the stuff that plasters in the ideas set by algorithms, and then there's an old, closed pharmacy (sign up for dunzo and you get three FREE deliveries of any drugs of your choosing!), called "drug house", and it's just so whimsical and joyful that this person is startled. one, because it's a fucking drug house, and two, because how can there be any pure joyousness in the world when my insta is filled with sad edits and one, two, five, ten, thirteen reasons why?
did it lie? did my artificially generated "for me" page lie?
and then some walk to prove the haters wrong. their "for me" page is pure optimism! concentrated microdoses of "the world is perfect! be happy with what you have!" cutesy canva posters about negativity and immoral evils that wish to corrupt the children, oh no, this rated-R movie had a... scene, in it, i showed it to my three year old, this is unacceptable! they will walk and show the world how absolutely positive they it is! and they stumble across the abandoned drug house (pharmacy, a legal pharmacy) and they. are. enraged.
holy fucking shit! (actually, they wouldn't swear, because that goes against the word of our lord and holy saviour, shannon_03, who loves each and every one of her 135k followers. they would probably clutch their 3D printed pearls and gasp in shock, screenshotting their bio-lense view, before posting to their instant-short-reel-status about the moral degradation of the world we live in today.)
this type of thing is unacceptable! but they look around and there are more and more signs of this type of moral decay, and more and more people who just don't give a fuck. and maybe then they think that perhaps, this type of thing doesn't matter at all.
so who, then, are those people who speak with (to) me, agreeing (warping) with my opinions?
are they lying? is my carefully curated view of the world... fake?
but how does that matter, the internet has spoken! the overwhelming popularity of the roasting, toasting, trashing of these walkers has flooded the pages of everyone who is anyone!
a girl with 50 filters to cover her 100 insecurities, hoping to one day pay off her student loans she got for a degree she can't use (but is that the story? or is she lying? or is the callout video you skipped three seconds in the liar?) is twerking at the camera (did she want to? or is that what everyone is doing, what everyone must do for a chance at fame? is it fame? maybe, but it might be money) as a text overlay with the most annoying, deep-fakey AI generated voice (is it annoying? or has everyone parroted it over and over until the only truth that exists is that?) reads the following text:
Only Hot Girls Do THIS!
-walk at home! (none of that musty crunchy real life stuff!)
-keep the goggles on! (cutest world is the truest world!)
-use ONLY an avatar! (perfection is fake!)
-buy these skincare products! (because if perfection is fake, the only option is to paste over the self till there is no truth remaining.)
-follow ME! (does it mean anything?)
and then everyone is being piped fresh, steaming opinion about how walking is cringe, and how only walkers are old, and how walkers should be piled on, it's for their own good!
you don't want to be cringe, do you?
and then the streets are empty, and walking dead, and the shoes you bought go back in the closet until you trash them next season, when walking comes back, because those shoes? they are trendy now, but they will, forever from now, be old.
so like the microplastic-laden tide, it recedes, because the oceans may be more plastic than water but the tides remain, they come out and go in. and walking comes out, and goes in, over and over, until death.
but for now, the streets are twilight.
