#but i haven't read any of the others i don't think

[mathewryf]

This is doing the same thing to me that the Sonic Forces Character Creator did: It's making me want to sit down and design my Sonic-sona (again) I need time and energy to sit down and do this dammit xD

Here's mine. At least, this is the version that sort of reflects me. Putting my rambling under a read more because this managed to make me type despite how tired I am!!!

The parts that are solidified: Dog as the species, Tails as my favorite character, my first memories are with movies/anime (both Sonic X and the OVA are part of my early memories, but apparently there's a lot of Sonic my older brothers showed me that I don't remember), and lastly, the Characters as what appeals to me most.

My favorite fan activity is listed as "other" because it's hard for me to pick one favorite thing. Maybe if there was a "deep analysis of the characters, stories and themes" option I would have picked that xD

As for favorite game: I picked Sonic Adventure 2 Battle because it hits some sort of common ground for the things I look for in Sonic. Both of the Adventure Games, Heroes and Unleashed sit at the top of my "favorite Sonic game" lists consistently, and I'm always cycling through them. That said, I haven't experienced every game first hand, nor have I even experienced everything the games I have played have to offer. That's one thing I love about the games: I'm always finding new ways to appreciate them, and new experiences. I only recently got to playing my copy of Black Knight, and it's like I was suddenly home again.

Now, some notes on the avatar:

I chose dog as a species because I am constantly compared to dogs IRL, and dogs IRL seem to really like me.

I go back and forth on whether to have the folded ears or the pointed ears due in part to the kinds of dogs I get compared to. if it was possible I'd have one ear pointed and one ear folded down xD

For the eyes, I went with a rounder shape because I'm a bit of a shy doofus IRL. To the point where I can be a bit too passive. I chose blue for the color because it was as close as I could get to my real eye color (central heterochromia B/G)

I chose red for the fur here because I actually used to have red hair! There's still shades of it present, especially when the sun hits it.

I went with the typical muzzle color because I'm basic™

As for the outfit, every time I come to this part I always ask myself "if I had my choice and money was no issue, what would I wear?"

Somehow I always come back to a leather jacket. I've tried ponchos, hoodies, hell I've even experimented with vests, but leather jackets just call to me.

As for the gloves, the ones I picked were to match the jacket, but the gloves I actually prefer to wear are a specific style of safety glove!

Building off of that, I also am extremely picky about footwear! To the point I know my boot size off the top of my head xD

I chose the boots in the profile card because they were the closest to the boots I wear IRL, but even then it leaves a lot to be desired. There weren't any shoes that reflected my casual shoes, either... what a travesty!

For context, here's a picture of the exact boot I wear for work:

And here's a picture of my casual shoes:

If it wasn't obvious, I did a LOT of thinking when I was making this card xD

It's funny, actually: I can put so much thought into something like this, but I can't ever seem to bring that energy out when I'm trying to actually draw what I see in my mind.

Someday I will, though. It matters that much to me!

ok so the new Sonic Channel fursona maker is in Japanese. Obviously. So for those of us who can't read Japanese very well, here's a rundown of the Profile page translations so you can work it accurately without defaulting to a translate page every five seconds!

Special thanks to @krafterwrites and @sonicbible for their help!!!! Esp sonicbible for helping me translate what my websites could not lmao

@itsbasil has been reading The Fall of Reach and pasting things to me and I haven't looked back through Fall in a hot minute so I keep being struck like...

John has always been this fucking dork who just has this lacquer-thin veneer of cool. He's good at that but once you scratch the surface it's so over for him. He really is the most I-don't-struggle-with-this-I-have-a-system guy.

It's very easy to accidentally write him in a way where he just feels dumb and incurious, it might be my bias but I think late-canon MC novels have a tendency to do this. (I'm admittedly extremely soft on Nylund though due to the nostalgia.)

But I love him most when it feels like the dude is totally alert and focused and putting his whole engine into trying to figure something out and... the issue isn't that he isn't intelligent enough to understand. The problem is that all the horsepower is pulling in the completely wrong direction because he's missing a fundamental detail of how something works. Did you know being raised as a super weapon by the space empire doesn't produce a well-rounded dude good at understanding subtleties?

John's a little dumb, yes, but in this very specific way that speaks to how small his world has been required to be.

...For some context, I would argue he has improved a bit on the "any sacrifice is worth it to win" front in the last couple of years for him but it is a pretty recent improvement that only applies to other people that aren't him. This is him as a fully grown adult in mid 2552 and ohhh my god look at him, you understand why things are so hard for him and why he gets so miserable when he feels like he's doing a bad job.

Also like, his fucking priorities when he meets Cortana:

John boy breathing his biggest sigh because he's glad he's been promised that this new AI he's meeting would kill him for the sake of the mission if it was necessary. That's what he wants to know in order to feel comfortable. John needs to feel like someone working with him understands what he's for, otherwise this whole situation is going to be confusing and stressful and possibly awful because what if they mistake him for a person who deserves to be saved and it impacts the mission???

You see. You understand.

Hello!! do you maybe have any fic recommendations of steve/chris being a dom bottom? preferably one where he’s the daddy and bucky/sebastian is inexperienced and is topping for the first time or just anything with steve/chris as a dom bottom? 🥹 thank you kindly!!

Hi darling! Ohh interesting question! I completely adore bottom!Steve and I've got lots of recs for that, but I'm pretty sure he's subby or at least not dom like in most of them... A few fics that come to mind:

honey i laugh when it sinks in (a pillar i am upright) by mcwho

And there is also @howdoyousleep3's incredible work you could check out if you haven't ready, K's got quite a few fics that fit this description! Check out this AO3 search.

And there's also a scene in Like Real People Do by 2bestfriends that's like that if you squint, in chapter 6, but that's all I can think of :(

I'm sure there's more, but I just can't think of anything right now!

And I am so sorry, I have thought about this long and hard, but I can't think of any fics like that for Evanstan 😔 There aren't *that* many bottom!Chris fics out there, let alone ones where he tops or even doms from the bottom... I'd totally read it though, so I would also like to find them if they are out there! I just don't personally know of any...

But perhaps there are others who can think of fics like this, for either Stucky or Evanstan, and would be kind enough to share their recommendations...? Let's hope so! 🙏🏻💖

[bellaxgiornata]

Hey, I love your fics! I just wanted another perspective on this:

Do you think Foggy and Matt are codependent in any sort of way? (Especially Foggy?)

Hey, friend! I'm glad you've been enjoying my fics! ❤️And I'm so sorry it has taken me so damn long to answer this ask, I've had it on my mind for weeks now, but I've been nonstop sick for months, so trying to sit down and write up an answer with a coherent response has been difficult. I didn't want to just give a brief little response to this question (and we all know I'm always long-winded) because I mean...that's a big topic. I'll give a longer answer beneath the cut on this, but I will say, since we have DDBA out, I will be giving my thoughts with DDBA spoilers below the cut. So do not read below the cut if you don't want spoilers!

My shortened answer to this (solely based on the Netflix and Disney show versions, I haven't read enough of the comics to comment), is that I think yes, they do have a codependent relationship. Foggy with how he pushes away his own needs and comes running to help Matt whenever he needs it, and well...Matt with everything when it comes to Foggy. But I believe it's Matt who is mainly reliant on Fog instead of the other way around. I'll explain more beneath the cut (with DDBA spoilers! this is my last warning 😆).

So in regards to Foggy in particular, I can definitely see it. I mean, they somehow intern at the same place after law school. And maybe it was just luck they got accepted together because of their grades, but I'm guessing they both applied there intentionally wanting to keep being around each other. Then they open a law firm together, and they're always spending all their time together. Besides Karen, we don't often see them spending a lot of time with anyone else as friends--and Karen is BOTH of their friends. Though, Foggy at least eventually has Marci, and Matt, well, I guess he gets Elektra and Frank? If you squint really hard?

Now, when it comes to the law firm, they have differing views. Foggy clearly is the one who wants to take on cases that are going to make them money, but Matt is the one focused on helping people in general--which leads to them not really making money to pay their bills. And Foggy has expressed his thoughts on that in the past, but yet he still follows along with Matt's vision of the firm. Foggy could've easily gone his separate way at least career-wise to better himself, but instead he keeps himself tied with Matt. Even after he learns Matt's big secret and they briefly end the friendship and the firm, they still eventually reopen Nelson & Murdock back up together because Foggy clearly can't just walk away from Matt.

We also see Foggy rushing to help Matt whenever he needs it after he discovers Matt is Daredevil--finding him on the roof in season 2 and making sure he got back to his apartment without being seen, making sure Matt gets medical attention from Claire, bringing him the suit when he goes into Midland Circle, covering for Matt on cases when he's clearly distracted and being a bad business partner. All things that're putting Foggy out or putting him in a bad position, yet he does whatever he needs to anyway for Matt.

There's countless times that Foggy puts his own needs on the backburner to help Matt in the show. So yes, I definitely think you could argue there's a level of codependency there, and I think Foggy excuses it in himself because of Matt's dependency on him. Because of Matt's tragic childhood and fear of abandonment, Foggy seems to feel the need to go above and beyond to not be another person to abandon him. But I think the way they respond to losing each other says the most, and to me really points at Matt being the codependent one in the relationship. I've often seen Foggy as more of just the best friend who's maybe a little codependent, but mostly just a little too empathetic because of their friendship. Matt is the one who absolutely needs Foggy to live and breathe.

When season 3 starts and Matt is believed to be dead, Foggy accepts it. He's grieving, yes, but he moves on and lives his life. We don't see him spiraling or questioning anything like Karen. We don't see his life somehow upended. Instead, Foggy gets a good job at a good law firm and seems to get closer in his relationship with Marci. Whereas in contrast, when Matt loses Foggy in Born Again, he's a mess. On the outside, yes, it seems the same. Matt has a nicer law firm, nicer apartment, steady girlfriend. But he's literally given up half of himself, he carries Foggy's funeral card in his suit coat pocket every day, and he cannot even say Foggy's name. He is a mess inside that he is just barely carefully holding together because he lost the one person he needs. I think it could be argued that he becomes so fixated on being the Matt Foggy wanted him to be to try to cope with the grief and guilt, but also I think he does it as a way to handle the loss of that person Matt relied on to feel whole. It's like his way to still somehow feel connected to Foggy because he still needs him.

I think it becomes very obvious how much Matt needs Foggy in Born Again more than Foggy ever seemed to really need Matt in the same way. Whenever Foggy isn't in Matt's life--even just when they lose the friendship over his secret in the beginning of Daredevil--Matt falls apart entirely while Foggy keeps thriving and living his life. That doesn't mean Foggy isn't grieving and struggling, but honestly, I feel like Foggy doesn't respond in the way I feel like someone would when they lose their "crutch." Matt is the one who uses Foggy as his emotional crutch, I don't get the feeling that it's the other way around.

Those are my thoughts written as briefly as I could get them, hopefully this answered your question a bit and made sense! I'm still getting over yet another illness and I could have probably sat down and written an entire essay more in depth on this, but I was trying to be more straight to the point about how I view their relationship. This already got pretty long, but honestly, there's a lot to analyze when it comes to Matt and Foggy. And I know there's little details I'm missing because I haven't had a full rewatch in a bit, but I was trying to cover what I felt was the most important! But there's clearly an imbalance in the relationship, and I think we all know who is really relying on who in that friendship.

Guest Starring Viola Masterlist | Main Masterlist | Send a request | Tag List Form

Yoongi starts the video with his introduction before sitting down and picking up the tablet propped up on the table for him to read from.  “Today’s guest wrote she's a best friend of over 10 years, professional ghostbuster and full time cat lover, part time idol,” Yoongi reads from the tablet in front of him, trying to keep his smile small, as he goes over everything she put on the small form that his team has his guest fill out for fun. "She does love cats," he chuckles to himself. "Professional ghostbuster," he muses, tapping his finger against the screen of the tablet. "I don't think she's ever seen a ghost," he mutters more to himself. "Alright, let's bring her out!" he says standing up to greet his friend turned secret girlfriend. "Viola!" he calls out, a hint of playful anticipation in his voice. He extends his hand, and a moment later, a figure walks into frame. 

"Yoongi-ah!" Viola grins, her eyes smiling as she greets him, a paper bag in her hand. She's in a nice blouse and a pair of light denim blue jeans; her hair has been cut shorter into a bob that reaches her shoulders. It's a change from her long hair and something she hadn't told him about wanting to surprise him. "Thanks for having me," she adds with a light laugh. 

"You cut your hair," Yoongi says, a surprised but pleased look on his face as he sits back down. "It looks great! Come on, have a seat. What's in the bag?" he asks, gesturing towards the chair opposite him and then eyeing the paper bag with curiosity on what alcoholic beverage she might have brought. 

“Just my favorite,” she smiles pulling out a bottle of Bacardi white rum and hands it to him. “I also brought a couple bottles of coke.”  

“I should have guessed,” he smiles, taking the bottle and opening it, pouring some into two glasses as she opens one of the bottles of Coca-Cola that has the label taken off. He sets the bottle of rum aside as she pours the coke, mentioning the menu of food that they have that she can pick from.  

Once the drinks are poured and the food is ordered and spread out in front of them, they clink their glasses together and take a drink as they get settled into the interview. Y/N can feel her mouth watering at the sight of the spicy fried chicken, tteokbokki and a few other of her favorite Korean dishes. 

"So, ghostbuster, any recent paranormal activity I should be aware of?" he teases, a playful glint in his eyes as he takes a bite of his food. 

"I haven't had any since I moved out of the dorm room the girls and I were in," she replies, after taking a bite of chicken, she chuckles, wiping her hands on a napkin and taking a sip of her drink. Her ghost story from their trainee days is well known amongst her fans. She's talked about it multiple times. From how her things would disappear and reappear somewhere else. The seven other girls she shared the small dorm room with were adamant that they hadn't touched her stuff. It happened to two of the other girls too. Then there was the cold spots and the chills, the faint whispers and slightly touches when no one else was in the room. The scary stories and rumors about their dorm didn't help either. Viola was 100% certain that their room was haunted, and she can attest to the many nights she snuck into one of the training rooms or the boy's dorms to get some undisturbed sleep. She shudders slightly as a chill goes down her back thinking about it, "That dorm room was cursed for sure." 

Yoongi nods in agreement. "I remember when you used to come to our dorm trembling and asking if you could stay with us."  

"Jin oppa would get so annoyed," she says, guilt washing over her as she remembers all the times she did it before she was caught out by one of their trainers.  

"He didn't mind," he assures her. "Taehyungie loved it though. He liked having you there." 

"Yeah, Tae always made room for me," Viola laughs. 

Yoongi smiles, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Any new ghost stories from your current place?" he asks, even though he knows there isn't. What their fans and the public don't know is that they've been living together for almost a year now, their relationship starting back in 2021. Neither of them or their company is ready to make it public yet, especially with Yoongi's military enlistment approaching and the clashing of their separate schedules. 

"Nope! Thankfully," she says with a relieved sigh. "If there was, I'm sure my roommate will chase it away. He's not easily scared by ghost stories." 

He chuckles, flattered by the hidden compliment. "Your roommate," Yoongi says, a playful smirk on his face as he glances at the camera. She also looks between him and the camera when she realizes she called her 'roommate' he, knowing full well that some of the audience might piece things together, especially their fans who have been shipping them since they started getting to see them interact. 

Yoongi takes this moment to change the subject, shifting it to her solo debut. "So, 'Welcome Home' is doing really well! Congratulations, Viola-ssi!" he says, a proud smile on his lips. "Everyone is loving it. How does it feel to be performing again?" 

"I've missed it so much," she says taking another bite of food and a drink from her glass. "I didn't realize how much I did miss it until I started preparing for the comeback. I haven't danced or sang this much since I broke my ankle and the Le Fleurs disbandment. It feels really good to be doing it all again and seeing how many fans I still have. That was pleasantly surprising," she pauses, thinking for a moment as he listens intently to everything she is saying. They've had this conversation behind closed doors when she was considering coming back to the spotlight. "It's definitely a different experience being a soloist though. It's a lot more work but it's also a lot more rewarding. I have more creative control, and I get to really express myself in my music." She pauses, again thinking back to her Le Fleur days. "I still miss my girls though. It's definitely not the same without them." 

"Yeah, I can imagine," Yoongi says sympathetically. He knows how much Le Fleur meant to her. He was there when they debuted, when they won their first award, and she broke her ankle which is when they ultimately disbanded. He was her shoulder to cry on through it all. "But you're killing it as a soloist! I've had 'Welcome Home' on repeat for weeks now," he says showing his pride for her in his eyes and resisting the urge to reach across the table and take her hand in his. 

Viola blushes, pleased by his praise and bows her head. "Thank you, Yoongi-ah. That means a lot, especially coming from you." 

"Speaking of your music," Yoongi says, leaning forward with genuine interest, "I've been wondering, is there a particular song on the album that's the most personal to you? Or maybe one that was the hardest to write?" 

"I didn't really struggle with writing any of the songs on this album, but I think that's mostly because I never stopped writing them. I have a laptop, and notebooks filled with songs I would love to release eventually," she says recalling her process that went into making her solo debut album. "The hardest part was deciding which songs would go on the album. Of course, Welcome Home made it to my debut song which is very fitting considering it's about returning to a place that feels like home. If I had to choose a song that's the most personal to me," she pauses biting her bottom lip as she thinks about her songs and tries to decide which one it would be. "I think it would have to be my ballad 'Silent Years'. People think it's about my years I spent not being an idol, it's actually about lifelong friends finding a certain special kind of love for each other. I actually wrote the song with someone, so it's not a song I wrote on my own. I can't take full credit for it."  

"Oh, really? You wrote it with someone?" Yoongi asks, not wanting to give it away that it was him who wrote it with her and produced it for her. Even though if anyone looked into the credits for the song, his name is there. 

"Yeah," Viola says, a soft smile playing on her lips. "It was a collaboration. We worked on it together for a while before we finalized it. It was a really special experience." She looks at him, a silent message passing between them, a shared memory of late nights spent hunched over lyrics and melodies, their voices blending together in perfect harmony. "It was unfortunate I couldn't get their vocals on the song." 

Yoongi nods, his eyes twinkling with affection. "Well, whoever you wrote it with, they did a great job. It's a beautiful song," he says sincerely, taking a sip of his drink. She bows her head slightly, thanking him again. "Should we take a listen to it?" he asks, and she nods, pulling out her phone.  

Viola unlocks her phone and goes through it until she finds the song. She lays her phone on the table and presses play. The soft melody of "Silent Years" fills the room, the sounds of a piano accompanying Viola's delicate vocals. Yoongi watches her as she listens, her eyes closed. He can almost see the memories playing out in her mind – the laughter, the tears and the quiet moments together that had woven their friendship into something more. The song speaks volumes about their relationship, a secret confession hidden in plain sight. He feels a surge of pride, knowing he helped bring her song to life. 

When the last note fades, a comfortable silence settles between them. Viola opens her eyes, a faint blush dusting her cheeks. "It still gets me every time," she admits softly, glancing at Yoongi. 

"You really poured your heart into it," he replies, his voice equally soft. "Let's talk about something a little lighter. You're dancing again. How's that been going?" He asks, hoping to steer the conversation away from the more personal aspects of her music, at least for the sake of the cameras.  

Viola visibly relaxes at the change of subject. "The choreography has been intense, but so much fun!" she exclaims, her eyes lighting up again. Dance will always be one of her greatest passions. For the longest time she didn't think it was possible to dance again on the level she was at before her broken ankle. A lot of it had been fearing that she will injure it again, leading her to never being able to dance again.  

"I saw some of your fancams and dance challenges," Yoongi says with a grin. "You've improved so much." 

"Thank you," she smiles before asking, "Do you want to do the dance challenge with me? Hobi, Jimin and Tae have done it."  

He looks hesitant for a moment, it well known he isn't the biggest fan of dancing despite it being one part of what makes him an idol. He also isn't a big fan of participating dance challenges. "I'm not sure I can keep up with you," he says with a chuckle, knowing full well that she's ten times the dancer he is, her being on almost the same level as Hobi. But also, how can he say no to her, especially when she's looking at him, her lips slightly pouted and eyes sparkling with hope. Yoongi sighs dramatically, but a smile plays on his lips. "Okay, okay," he relents, throwing his hands up in mock surrender. "But if I embarrass myself, I'm blaming you." 

Viola claps her hands together excitedly. "Yes! Okay, let's clear some space," she says, moving to the open space in front of the cameras. 

"Alright, show me what you got, dance teacher," he teases, standing up and stretching his arms. 

Viola grins, pulling out her phone again and finding the part of the song that's being used for the dance challenge. She starts demonstrating the first few moves, her body flowing effortlessly to the music. Yoongi watches her intently, trying to mimic her movements.  

It takes a few tries, and there's a lot of laughter and playful banter, but eventually, Yoongi starts to get the hang of it. He's still a bit stiff and awkward, but he's definitely trying his best. Viola cheers him on, offering encouragement and corrections with a smile, the opposite to what he's use to with Hobi.  

"You did it!" she exclaims, after they manage to get through a small portion of the dance without messing up. 

They continue to practice for a few more minutes, giving the everyone a glimpse into how well the two work together. Even the camera crew can't help but smile at how well they work together. Finally, they decide to film a short clip of them doing the challenge together. 

"Okay, everyone ready?" Viola asks, looking towards the person filming the challenge for them. "Three, two, one, go!" 

 They launch into the dance. Yoongi stumbles a few times, but he keeps going, determined to finish strong. Viola laughs, but she doesn't miss a beat, guiding him through the steps. 

When the clip ends, they both collapse into their chairs, breathless and laughing. "We did it!" Viola exclaims, high-fiving Yoongi. 

"I think I pulled a muscle," Yoongi groans, and leans back in his chair, a satisfied smile on his face. "Everyone is going to love it," he says confidently. "Especially seeing me embarrass myself." 

Viola playfully hits his arm. "You weren't that bad," she says, but she's grinning. "Besides, it's all about having fun, right?" 

"Right," Yoongi agrees, his gaze lingering on her. "And I definitely had fun." He looks at the camera. "Okay, ARMY and Violette's, please be kind. I tried my best!" 

"If you ever have a dance challenge, I'll return the favor," she smiles. "I promise." 

"I'm going to hold you to it," he tells her, fully intending to make sure she keeps that promise. 

As the interview winds down, they finish their last drinks. "Before we go, is there anything else you'd like to say to your fans?" Yoongi asks her, giving her the opportunity to express her gratitude. 

Viola takes a deep breath and looks directly at the camera, her eyes filled with gratitude. "To anyone who's ever doubted themselves or their dreams, never give up. Believe in yourself and never stop chasing your passions and dreams. And to all my Violette's, thank you for your unwavering support. Your love and encouragement mean the world to me. I promise to keep working hard and creating music that you'll love." 

Yoongi nods, impressed by her heartfelt message and closes out the episode with a few more words. 

The video then cuts to them, removing their microphones as their playful banter continues, unbeknownst to Viola, one of the camera's is still recording the scene like Yoongi had planned. They're soon interrupted by a visitor, calling out the nickname they use for Viola, "La-La." 

Her eyes widen as she spins around to find Taehyung standing there with a small cake, "What's this?"  

"Congratulations on your solo debut," the younger man, beams.  

Yoongi watches them, a fond smile on his face. He knows how close Viola and Taehyung are. They've always had a special connection, a playful and supportive friendship that he admires. From the moment they met, Viola took him (and the others) under her wing. Having three younger brothers, she has a natural instinct to nurture, care for and protect them. They quickly became her honorary brothers.  

She takes the cake from him and gives him a quick hug thanking him. 

As they continue to chat and enjoy the cake, the camera continues to roll, capturing the genuine warmth and affection between them. It's a moment of pure happiness, a glimpse into the real friendship they have, away from the spotlight and the pressures of fame.

playing with another fic bc i don't have the RAM to concentrate on sibotm rn. thinking of nicknames and how sometimes they sound super bizarre to outsiders.

“What, you never had the guts to ask anyone out?” she asked. “It's not about guts,” Keith said, a little peeved at being called a coward.  “I just never liked anyone.  The other kids at my schools were always really obnoxious.” “You never had crushes?” Verónica challenged, and Keith struggled to understand how this was the current topic of conversation.  He wondered if it was normal for families to interrogate their guests like this. “No,” Keith said, baffled.  “I never had any crushes until I came here —”  He closed his mouth so quickly, he bit his tongue.  His face heated further as Verónica’s mouth spread in a smug, knowing smile. Keith wanted to die, actually.  What the fuck was he still doing here in Lance's house?  Why was he still suffering through this! “It's not good to be too picky,” Graciela said, “but I think it's good to wait for someone you really like.”  She reached out and patted his hand. “Thank you?” Keith said, and it only came out half strangled. “So what kind of hobbies do you have?” Verónica asked him. Keith poked at his food, trying hard to come up with some excuse to leave. “I don't really have any?” Keith said. “You don't do anything in your spare time?” Verónica said. “I guess I read?”  Keith shrugged.  “Or I work on my bike.” “You said you ride a motorcycle, right?” Graciela asked. “Yes,” Keith said. “Is that safe?” she asked him. “I haven't had any accidents,” Keith said. “Hmm,” Graciela said.  “I'm not sure I'm comfortable with my Lanchita getting on motorcycles.” “Lanchita?” Keith said, baffled. “Oh, that's what we call Lance,” Verónica said.  “Basically means little motorboat.  Don't tell him we told you.  He'd be super embarrassed.” Keith raised his eyebrows. “There's nothing embarrassing about it,” Graciela scoffed.  “Lanchita is cute!  He had no issue with this when he was little!  And it fits him because he was always going so fast.”  She looked at Keith earnestly and added, “He was the hardest to keep up with out of all my babies.” Keith smiled a little at the thought of a tiny excitable Lance being called Little Motorboat.

Reader has paralysis quirk & hero name is Burst because the quirk works in short bursts that shoot from finger tips. Sorry if this is too much of an OC for you, but it's just easier to write this way for me.

“Want anything?” you asked standing from the couch.

Bakugo shook his head with a grunt, continuing to scroll through his phone. You moved to the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge.

Bakugo's attention turned to your phone on the couch beside him when it buzzed in succession. In a span of five seconds, six text messages came through.

Bakugo picked up your phone and read the messages glad you'd left your phone unlocked.

The good EX: Can we talk?

The good EX: I rly fucked up, but tht hero isn't treating u rt.

The good EX: don't b mad I js want 2 make sure ur ok. Keiko spilt all

The good EX: Idc if he kicks my ass. U desrve 2b happy

The good EX: I knw I made u happy. Pls call

The good EX: I miss u

Bakugo nearly exploded your phone, but once he looked over and saw you weren't coming back right away he went to work. Deleting all the messages from your ex and blocking him.

Bakugo knew it had been a year since the two of you last spoke or text so you wouldn't suspect anything.

You finished your drink and decided to go back to your apt. For the last four months Bakugo hadn't shown any interest in you.

Sure, he was busy with hero work and keeping up with his friends, but you were too. Yet, somehow you were the one always compromising your schedule for him.

The one time you brought it up, he'd snapped reminding you that the number 8 hero had far more to do than the 22nd hero. Which absolutely hurt, but you didn't argue or bring it up again.

Bakugo expected you to sit back down when you finally came out of the kitchen, but you just grabbed your phone.

“I've got a busy day tomorrow, so I'm gonna go back to my place. Bye.”

Bakugo jumped over the couch and blocked your path.

“I'll drive you in tomorrow.”

You cocked an eyebrow surprised by his sudden attention.

“I'm good. Besides you have that meet and greet with Red Riot & Chargebolt at 8.”

Bakugo cursed softly knowing you were right. You took another step, but he blocked you again.

“Just stop. Let me figure this out dammit.”

Bakugo grumbled more than yelled and you began to wonder what was up.

“What the fuck? You haven't given a literal shit about me in months. So what is your problem now?”

Your words cut him deep and the fear of losing you began to take over him.

“I've always cared...I just…”

“You're busy I know.”

“Stay...please…”

You were stunned by his sudden desperation, but then your phone rang. It was your manager.

“I can't. Hello?”

Bakugo took your phone and hung up the call. Now you were pissed.

“I'll text my manager and I'll push my arrival time to 9. I can get you to Icyhot's agency by 8 and…”

“Gimme my phone before I paralyze your ass.”

“No.”

Bakugo tossed you over his shoulder and carried you to his bedroom. Upon dropping you on the mattress he immediately caged you in with his body your eyes locked.

“I'm not having sex with you.”

Bakugo's cocky expression faltered and then became angry.

“Is that all you think I really fucking want?”

“I honestly don't care anymore. We haven't really been a couple for months so the last few times we had sex were more like exercise.”

A searing hot pain ripped through Bakugo’s chest clawing it's way down to his gut. It was unbearable. He grabbed his chest, backing up against the wall. His breaths becoming short as he realized he was having an anxiety attack. He hadn't had one since you two started seeing each other 2 years ago.

“Fuck,” Bakugo seethed between gritted teeth.

“Breathe, hey! Look at me and breathe!”

Bakugo locked his eyes with yours the genuine concern calming him. You held his shoulders until you heard his breathing become normal again.

“Don't leave. Please. I…just don't leave.”

“Shut up and focus on your breathing.”

You grabbed the pills out of his nightstand and handed them over. It wasn't surprising the survivors of the war kept medication in their bedside tables. In fact it was pretty much required. Especially for the nightmares and in the beginning of your relationship those had been awful.

“Not taking them unless you stay.”

You stared at him in shock, this tactic not something he'd ever used on you.

You sighed, knowing he'd hate you in the morning.

“Fine. I'm going to bed now because I have to leave early,” you warned him.

Bakugo accepted the water bottle you handed him and downed his meds. You knew he'd be unconscious in an hour, exhaustion from the anxiety attack and the pills put him down quickly. The clock read 7:48.

At exactly 8:48 Bakugo was out. However, he had attached himself to you so tightly, it took you an extra fifteen minutes to free yourself. Once you retrieved your phone, you bolted from his apt. On your way out of the building you turned your phone back on and called your manager.

“Where the hell have you been?” Mae demanded.

“Long story. What's got you uptight?”

“Oh, I just got the notification that you jumped up the hero charts.”

“Why do you sound so smug?”

“You're number 16.”

Your feet stumbled as you entered your apt, the news hitting you hard.

“How…wait, I thought numbers don't come in until…”

“Director Hawks reached out to me today. I think he has a crush on you, but that's my opinion," Mae chuckled.

You laughed it off, giddy about the news.

“I still don't get why I suddenly shot up in the ranks.”

“All those heroes you've been working with have been singing your praises, but more than that the #2 hero gave you credit for that raid last month.”

“Shoto? It was a combined effort…”

“You found the lead, gave him the lead, planned the perfect raid and executed it flawlessly. He was your partner, not the other way around. He made that clear during every interview. He didn't want the credit.”

“Wow. I, uh…wow.”

“Hmm-mm. Now get some sleep because I'm picking you up at 5 and your day is full. Also you'll be spending most of it with Shoto and Ingenium at multiple events. So night. Oh, did u finally dump that idiot boyfriend of yours?”

Your mouth went dry as you thought about your answer.

“Not yet. But I need to tell you who it is…”

“No, you don't. Two years and I don't know and don't want to. However, the fans of Shoto think you two might be dating because he's been so chatty about you. Bonus is they love the idea of you two together.”

You groaned. Bakugo was going to lose his shit on so many levels, but you did plan to end it so…

“Look, when I end it with this guy he's going to lose his shit. Be real loud about it.”

“Still don't care.”

“Dynamight.”

The line went silent, Mae caught off guard or so you assumed.

“if this is a joke or prank say so. If not I'm jumping right now.”

“He won't ruin my career or….”

“Being with that idiot and having the world know will ruin you. You'll be lucky if you even stay on the charts. Between his overprotective rabid fans and that dumpster fire personality of his you'll be shunned. Fuck…”

“Look…”

“No, you don't speak from now on unless I give you a script. You two are over, do whatever is necessary to keep his mouth shut. Get to bed while I strategize how to keep this from hurting you.”

"Okay. Thanks, Mae."

As you lay in bed, you realized you were already hurting. As much as Bakugo pissed you off and had basically written you off these last four months, you still loved him.

You should be happy and ready to celebrate all the good things coming your way, but instead you were wracked with guilt. So much guilt, you found your way back to Bakugo's apartment and slipped back into his arms.

If you were going to burn, it was going to be Katsuki Bakugo that set the fire. Because no matter what, you couldn't bring yourself to hurt him.

Tsukishima's arc is (kinda) subversive and I need to talk about it!!

Also known as: Tsukkiyama is so everything for me pt 3 (but it's not shipper-y, it's about canon) (and I haven't written pt 2 yet??? lol)

Haikyuu!! is definitely a Shōnen Jump series, with great execution of old & gold tropes: the "light" and "darkness" double protagonists, multiple rivalries, training arcs and tournament arcs one after another etc. But Tsukishima Kei's character arc, specifically, kinda... breaks? and maybe even makes fun of the classics? (Which, if it is- very fitting for Tsukishima, huh)

You're probably familiar with "talk no jutsu" meme. In case you're not - it comes from the prequel to absolute banger series Boruto (I know this joke is overused. I like it, leave me alone), which involved its main character resolving so. many. troubled characters' arcs by leading them to light with his mid-battle speeches about hardships and hope and friends and trust, that people couldn't help but meme it. However, Naruto is indeed one of generation-defining sort of series, and as overused as it may be, this plot point creates many a powerful, emotional moments.

Haikyuu!!, of course, also does this. Having Hinata first blindly (literally and figuratively) trusting Kageyama, then (also literally and figuratively) grabbing Yachi's hand to help her take a step forward. Oh, also giving Asahi a thing or two to think about? All that jazz.

And I, personally, fully expected this to happen with Tsukishima. When the time comes, it will be mostly left to Hinata to, Idk, annoy him into character development I guess? This is shōnen, he's the "I can show you the world~" hero, that's just how it is, right?

Wrong.

We get the tense lead up. We get the flashback. We get the "Can ye help him, o protag-kun?" scene with Yamaguchi. And Hinata goes, basically: Uhhh... seems kinda like a you problem? 🤨 (Off-topic, but I l-o-v-e this as a Hinata character moment, too. This was maybe when I started legit liking him: realising how actually emotionally mature he is? The dude knows when it's not his time to get into someone else's mess, he sees the "do not enter" sign and is chill about it. I'm so sad this part of him gets overlooked so often)

The dialogue here is very simple, but very significant:

"Hinata, what would you say to Tsukki? Like you did to Kageyama and Yachi" <...> "What would you say to Tsukishima, Yamaguchi?"

This is where my theory that this is a little jab comes in - because in meta way, you can read this as, wouldn't it make more sense if the person he's connected to the most would be the one doing the talking? Not the random passerby protagonist like y'all like to do. But maybe I'm just weird. Even without any sort of meta reading though, this is still a great character writing.

Because yeah, why would Hinata talk to the guy? They don't even like each other. Hinata says it as it is: I have no idea what his deal is, there's nothing for me to say. They're also very different people, and whatever Hinata would say, honestly, is likely to not even resonate with Tsukishima. And that's not even accounting for the fact that Tsukishima might not listen to Hinata, at all. With all his defensive walls that Hinata is never shown to be invited inside or breaking through. But it's told to us ahead of this with visual language that Yamaguchi is.

Yes, I am talking about the headphones off while they walk together despite both being silent scene. Which seems a pretty obvious showcase of Kei's willingness to listen, if not him actually waiting for Yamaguchi to say what's on his mind.

And- of course it's him! If there's anyone there Tsukishima might allow himself to not build a front for, that would be the childhood friend who's known him since elementary school. Who knows him inside and out. Who knows why he's like this. With anyone else, it would be so easy to brush them off by a simple "You don't know what you're talking about, why do you even care". But... Yamaguchi knows. And Yamaguchi cares. Because that's his best friend. And Yamaguchi is the one person Tsukishima never just brushes off, actually, if you pay attention.

It had to be Hinata.

But in Haikyuu!!, it had to be Yamaguchi. To get Tsukishima Kei moving, it had to be his caring, supportive, strong-willed but not pushy, and very, very cool best friend.

P.S. For ppl who wanna say this type of rule-breaking isn't that uncommon nowadays, please also note Haikyuu!! did this in 2014, ie 10+ yrs ago.

In all kindness, I do not subscribe to your belief system, therefore it is pretty irrelevant to me, if you believe this or not.

I know this and I don't subscribe to yours either. Was just explaining my side. 

It is the women's body who builds the baby, who has the greater costs in that process, who takes the greater risk, therefore the opinion of a man is pretty irrelevant regarding abortion.

It's the man's child as well, he should have some say in it. Losing a child is an unimaginable pain. There are ways to help a woman through pregnancies. There's risk with everything.

By the way, that means you are even against all abortion, where the life of the woman is at stake? Even when the child is already dead inside the poor woman and it might cost her life? 

I said this later on but there is not any medical necessary abortion. There's ways to make sure both parties live. Also there's abortion methods where they inject the would-be mother and it kills their child and they do eventually give birth to a dead baby. 

And  you would rather condemn a child to live in utter pain, if the defects are too gave? 

What defects? What kind of defects make someone unworthy of living? 

I hope, you are as concerned with the misogynistic moids, who rape and dehumanize women, as with a woman like me, who just wishes to stay the fuck away from men. 

Oh I am. I personally think they should castrate the men who rape (death is too nice). Let them lose their manhood that they already gave up when they decided it was a good idea to use it for ungentlemanly like behavior.

I am not American and I hardly share sensitive information like this. According to my religion teacher in middle school, the belief I had was classified as a cult. And I went to a catholic school...I got additional religious education by the church, we went to and by my father. As a child I was scared of god, greatly...All the sins I committed by being basically alive.

Show me a religion who does treat women well? Their common ground seems to be that they all oppress women, only the degree differs greatly.

Catholicism is not a cult. It's not accepted as a cult by many scholars and such. The only people I've heard call it a cult are those who hate it. Fear of God is not supposed to necessarily mean being terrified of God. I think it just means respect and knowing that God is powerful. But who knows? 

Believe it or not Christianity helped women a lot. Turns out the belief that “all humans are created in the image of God” makes people respect women a whole lot more. Scholars have pointed to a correlation of the spread Christianity and the better treatment of women. That's not to say that there haven't been “Christian” attacks on women. It's a large religion and it's been around for a long time, there's gonna be hiccups here and there. It's because humans naturally just suck. Human instincts aren't always good. 

Self-inflicted abortion or by an untrained person is absolutely dangerous, by a trained person and legally, not more dangerous than other medical operations. The sooner the better even. 

The risks of abortions are underreported. The complications are not seen as necessary to report for some reason. Also with the abortion pill, those untrained people taking it into their own hands will rise. Abortion ends with a death no matter what. 

I think I have an interesting book for you: 

Also if you suggest a book for me to read I'll suggest some videos for you. Live Action has a lot of videos about it. There is one of the people I look at. They go into detail about the procedures, the effects, and real life experiences of people who have had abortions, ex-abortionists, abortion survivors, etc …etc. It's interesting and heartbreaking. You can do what you want though. 

I don't think one sex is better than the other. We have different characteristics. We’re all different and that's fine. 

It very well is, if you like it or not. The child does not give the mother anything useful during pregnancy, but takes from her body important resources. 

Actually the fetus gives fetal cells which helps the mothers immune system and overall health. These can potentially even help long term as well. So the little one does give back. It's give and take both ways. Even aborted babies help their mother. 

However I´d rather not play god, but let the people in question have a choice. 

By letting others play God and decide who is worthy of living and who isn't? 

You cannot change the fact that the mothers didn't want the child...you cannot brainwash people to that degree. The child still knows and still suffers. Even within the most stable families. 

Everyone suffers (whether they are “wanted” or not), doesn't give anyone the right to murder for that reason. People can overcome their suffering though, it's possible. Can be hard, but it's possible.  

Also you've been most kind. I appreciate the civil words. 

@aod1098

The pro-life movement does not just think of men as humans. We consider the fetus (little human) as a life and it is one worth protecting. Women are also considered in this equation. Despite popular belief, women do not benefit from abortion. Women's mental health are affected by killing their unborn children. Females who have had abortions are more likely to suffer from mental health issues (Medicaid study in California) and do not receive adequate care afterwards (Vincent Rue Study) and suffer deeply from their abortions. Everyone is a human in the pro-life movement. We don't hate males or females for whatever reason.

In all kindness, I do not suscribe to your belief system, therefore it is pretty irrelevant to me, if you believe this or not.

Men's half is a very important part after all we couldn't have the baby if not for their half. It takes two and both sides are equally important.

It is the women´s body who builts the baby, who has the greater costs in that process, who takes the greater risk, therefore the opinion of a man is pretty irrelevant regarding abortion.

Abortion is not a human right. Our rights extend until it affects the life of another. When a woman is pregnant, there is another life that is involved, the most innocent of them all. Abortion procedures are inhuman, it takes the life of the child and in brutal ways. No one should have the right to end the life of another.

Oh, but it should be. The right for all women to abort, if they want to or to keep it, only if they want to.

The child is a parasyte that merely lives dependant on her life and body. So it should be absolutely possible for the woman in question to end this situation, if she wishes it.

By the way, that means you are even against all abortion, where the life of the woman is at stake? Even when the child is already dead inside the poor women and it might cost her life?

You would honestly rather traumatize a woman to have "give birth" to a corpse?

And you would rather condemn a child to live in utter pain, if the defects are too gave?

That also means that are blind and deaf to the misery of the oh-so-importan-life, if the child suffers due to the circumstances it is birthed into? Sometimes it is the correct decision to abort, if you can literally cannot afford a child or if the child would face neglect or abuse. There are enough horrible parents on this earth.

You lack clear empathy for other women. You can decide for yourself to have as many children until your teeth fall out, but why would you deny another woman agency regarding her own body. Are you jealous, maybe? Nope just concerned for other women because I (and other pro lifers) are concerned for the ladies.

Ah, so you show your empathy by taking away their agency? That´s a far cry from empathy, if you ask me...

This is a gross sentiment (among other things you said) I see a lot from the other side. I don't see how spreading hate on the other sex helps your side one bit. Division causes nothing but more pain. Men and women are equally important and needed in daily life. They are usually the ones who do jobs none of the women like (oil riggers, firefighting, and more physical straining jobs) as well as the other half to creating life. If you want to make change you should try getting others on your side, not hating on half of the population, it just draws people away from your cause...Not that I want your abortion stance to draw more people. You can do whatever you want with your body. As long as you don't effect the life of another (life in the womb included) I don't care.

I honestly don´t know if I should cry or laugh about this.

I think, I prefer laughing.

I hope, you are as concerned with the misogynistic moids, who rape and dehumanize women, as with a woman like me, who just wishes to stay the fuck away from men.

I curious as to what cult you were raised in. Everyone's environment influences how they turn out later in life, in different ways for everyone. For religions people leave their religions they were raised in and others stay. It's different for everyone. Happens a lot. Around 93% of America was Christian in the 60s, not anymore (not even close). A lot of people left. Also the pro life movement is a lot more divisive then you think. There's Christians, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, and more. Men and women are in the movement as well. I agree there are some religions that don't treat women fairly at all. Not all of them though. Some religion may have mistreated women, but some religion has also helped women elevate their status and gain more rights. After all women are biologically weaker than men, men could easily overpower women if they wanted to. Religion has helped this from happening through morals.

I am not American and I hardly share sensitive information like this. According to my religion teacher in middle school, the belief I had was classsified as a cult. And I went to a catholic school...I got additional religious education by the church, we went to and by my father. As a child I was scared of god, greatly...All the sins I committed by being basically alive.

Show me a religion who does treat women well? Their common ground seems to be that they all oppress women, only the degree differs greatly.

I think I have an interesting book for you:

The better half - On the genetic superiority of women

by Sharon Moalem

And religion has been used for thousands of years to justify oppression and evil deeds...in the name of god. Murder seems to be absolutely

Also the pro life movement is a lot more divisive then you think. There's Christians, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, and more. Men and women are in the movement as well.

Spectacular, so many fractions that have something against women having agency and a choice in that matter. I am sorry, but this is disheartening for me.

Abortion is dangerous (whether it's legal or illegal) whether it be the procedures themselves or the mental or physical affects afterwards.

Self-inflicted abortion or by an untrained person is absolutely dangerous, by a trained person and legally, not more dangerous than other medical operations. The sooner the better even.

Some woman go to great length to get rid of the child. Allowing it makes the process safer...Often the woman has to wait too long to abort.

If the woman decides not to give the baby up for adoption, there is pregnancy centers that are designed to help these women (at least in America). If a country doesn't have this, they should.

She still has to go through an unwanted pregnancy that changes her body. Some women just don´t want to go through it.

And the child suffers due to the process. An adopted child often has issues with feelings of abandonment. It is not as clean and easy, as you make it sound.

Taking care of a baby is also not the end of the world and can be quite joyful.

Who are you, that you can decide for every woman?

Some women aren´t born to be mothers and I absolutely wish for them to stay childless, if they want to.

Additionally there are enough already abused and neglected children on this world.

Not a form of self defense. Having the baby doesn't mean demise for the women. It is questioned whether we ever need abortions since technology has advanced so far that we could just have the woman give birth early and take care of the early birthed baby for any health complicated pregnancies. The baby poses no threat so it can't be a form of self defense.

Again, you cannot say this, without actually knowing the situation of the individual woman. In some cases, it is very well an absolute catastrophe.

The fetus cannot be considered a parasite either sense the women and the child are from the same species.

It very well is, if you like it or not. The child does not give the mother anything useful during pregnancy, but takes from her body important resources.

There is a reason, why pregnancy is not possible, if the women is too thin and lacks nutrients.

I sorry to hear about all those experiences of those people you know and for the ones that occurred in your own. Also can take years for the affects of abortion to actually take affect, but they do come. Life can be very cruel. Any hardship the child might have in their life does not diminish the importance of their life. I do think that everyone should work to make a better system for children who may have been unwanted by their mothers for whatever reason. We shouldn't be killing humans with unfortunate lives though. I do wish you would value yourself more. You're more important than you give yourself credit for. It's just sad.

Thank you, that is nice of you, nevertheless.

A woman having or not having an abortion results both times in some kind of negative feelings.

I´d rather wish only for women, who like to be mothers, to become a parent.

The problem with your stance...it takes agency away from the individual woman due to your own flawed belief system. Just that you understand me right: My own belief system is also flawed, because it is subjective. My moral compass are not rules forced upon others.

However I´d rather not play god, but let the people in question have a choice.

This seems to be a better approach than forcing people, that more often than not leads to tragedy.

You cannot change the fact, that the mothers didn´t want the child...you cannot brainwash people to that degree. The child still knows and still suffers. Even within the most stable families.

We all wish to know, where we come from. Preventing this, takes even agency away from the child.

I would call having extreme defecies and great pain not "unfortunate lives"...that would be too superficial.

Was thinking about first mates ships so...

[desire-for-madness]

I've figured out viewer's mixed emotions towards Maya. Maya receives either hate or love for her character, and the support gets argued with "bad character, mean," etc / dislike usually gets accused of "misogyny" "ableism" etc, but, personally, I feel the reason for the mixed emotions is because her character is quite hypocritical (in the drama).

She wants to be left alone, except for those *she* chooses (whose space and time she basically occupies without consideration)

She wants people to stop making assumptions about her, yet she pushes her own assumptions onto Kohei (and others)

She thinks everyone treats her fake, but she puts no effort into genuine communication

She feels morally superior, but she fails to actually take others into consideration

She has a victim complex, where she feels the world is against her (natural coping mechanism for someone who experienced trauma)

She hates sympathy, yet when she doesn't garner it, she seeks it out

A hypocritical personality is a normal development during youth (and especially in Maya's case), as it develops through fear and low self-esteem. It is the easiest way to subconsciously protect ourselves from harm. It is especially common to develop for those that desire love and fear judgement. So Maya's past is a perfect explanation of her seemingly difficult character.

It is completely normal for viewers to have mixed feelings about her, because it is the same with hypocritical people in real life too. We feel empathy for them, yet their actions/words are not always understandable. She is quite a realistic and intricate character. Which is why the viewer's reactions differ so drastically, some falling to her absolute defense, other's trying to communicate the dislike. It's totally normal.

She's not evil, but she isn't a saint either. She's just human.

And so are the viewers who are free to like or dislike her character...

Featured Fic Friday!

Welcome to Featured Fic Friday! A day where I, or someone who suggests one, tell you about a fanfic that I really enjoy! Spoiler's under the cut! Today's featured fic is...

A Dog in the Cat House by SoloShikigami (General Audiences, Complete)

Nightmare has lived happily with his three cats, Dust, Killer, and Horror. But one day he comes across a poor dog in need of a home, and hey, he could always use a guard dog. But will his three cats get along with the newest member of the family?

A short but cute fic, I enjoy the concept behind it! It's a little unusual to find a fic where most of the characters are animals, but the author does a good job of writing the characters regardless!

Spoilers ahead!

I think it's a really cute fic with an interesting premise, having Cross as a dog in what was previously an all cat house.

The way the author writes the characters makes it known what they think & how they feel even without any dialogue spoken between them.

*glances at svsss' vol 4 worth of extras, aka 'the whump and smut pile'* you haven't seen anything yet

You guys are seriously taking an axe to my self-control;;; I'm trying to make this series last longer than a single month!! I'm trying to savour things!!! I'm trying to read something else and give the series a bit of breathing room before I pick up the last book but I want the "whump and smut pile" I want that so much I feel like a dog that's getting a treat waved in front of its face .·´¯`(；´д｀)´¯`·.

"Zira" "Azi" "Az" SIGHHHHHH

is anybody else irritated at the widespread fandom nicknaming of Aziraphale and fucking nobody else? is that just me? because it really feels like a "oooh [wince-hisses through teeth], no, that's too long and weird. that's too hard. i'm gonna call you This instead" situation, and i do not care for it. it pissed me off when i was writing good omens fanfic thirteen years ago and it pisses me off now. you care enough about everyone else to get their names right, all the unusual demon and angel monikers, but oh no, Aziraphale, oh that's ten whole letters, that's way too long. oh you're not gonna bother to type all that, no, his name is just Zira now.

and like, he's not real, so this super duper does not matter and isn't deeply and incredibly shitty the way it is when it's directed at real people. but it still rubs me the wrong way every time i see it. that's not his name! why is his name not good enough for you to take the time to type out the way you do for everyone else! ugh.

[pessimistic post]

As a person who's always struggled to envision a future for themselves, the last 10 years plus the now regular messages about impending war are... Not good.
