#despite these being kinda rough im actually rlly happy with them

happy birthday crosby

[midoriyaizukustan-inactive]

yall i get so Tired when i see some ppl complaining abt how “boring” midoriya is like if u could think critically for one second my dude,,

like. stop and think for one second for me. where have you ever seen a character like midoriya before? like, beyond a few similarities? i see ppl compare him to fuckin naruto but beyond their demeanors, theyre not the same character at all

like ok.

midoriya’s smart, not naturally, but because hes observant and a critical thinker. bro is constantly shown to be thinking and calculating and that this is a skill he has honed over the years; where else have u seen a smart main character act like that?

he cares so fucking much its kinda a flaw sometimes (like how hes never held bakugou accountable for his actions). idk this is kinda typical of shonen protags but he’s not a weird dick abt his compassion either; he cares and shows it in ways both the audience and the ppl he cares abt understand

he cries all the time. THATS definitely different. he’s in touch with his emotions through and through and is never really ashamed for it (except for that one scene in the manga where he’s having a rough time and has that whole “heroes dont cry” mantra going through his head, but that doesnt last). i think thats rlly a great characteristic. ppl make jokes abt him being a little bitch but lol,,,sorry a character actually expresses emotions instead of being a ~stoic badass~ all the time

his mom is still alive, which breaks shonen main character cliches (which tbh doesnt have much to do with his character particularly but still its a point in his favor). in a similar vein of thought, he doesnt have daddy issues canonically (at least not yet idk what hisashi/dad for one is gonna end up being djkdjk)

most importantly tho, midoriya had to WORK to get to where he is; he was never some “chosen one”. no one “just had a feeling” about him. literally everyone told him he couldnt become a hero, everyone implied that he could try as hard as he wanted to but that he would never make it, but he persevered despite that.

bc of his hardworking and determined manner, midoriya EARNED every. single. chance and opportunity he was given. bro had to prove himself first even to ALL MIGHT, who ended up being the FIRST person to believe in him. all might didnt just trust him bc midoriya reminded him of himself. no one believed in him until he believed in himself first, and thats why he DESERVES one for all (and respect in general but yall are clowns)

hes a light for all of those kids who felt like giving up. he’s living proof that the situation youre born into, that society forces you into, is not your ending; you can still push on regardless. you can still be happy regardless. thats important for both kids in his society, and in our real one!! midoriya is a guide for so many ppl, real AND fictional.

and some other stuff;; hes socially awkward but still tries his best because he never wants anyone to feel how he felt when he was growing up. this isnt abnormal for protags, but the way he’s socially awkward is both more genuine and also more realistic like. “im a dick but ohh wait i have a soft exterior that you must dig for” is such an annoying way of showing off “social awkwardness” and midoriya breaks that stereotype so thank GOD.

hes baby but hes also an absolute feral child sometimes as well; hes more complex than people give him credit for in that regard. kid literally will only value rules at face value. he works with them only until they go against his interests; then he has no issues whatsoever breaking them

and this last point is v important: midoriya has been through a lot in canon; his once best friend became abusive for ten+ years, before just becoming a prick he could handle himself in high school; his mom is single and trying to work for both him and herself; he was completely alone until he was 14/15; no one, NO ONE believed in him until he could prove them otherwise, and even then, he still received some doubt concerning his abilities, purposes, and intentions (bakugou, aizawa, and nighteye). at the same time though, midoriya’s not angry with the world; hes not really angry at all. despite all hes seen and gone through, midoriya is still kind and optimistic and i think thats really what separates him from other main characters, especially those in his genre

midoriya is a guide. he is a light. ik i make jokes abt him being sunshine but he really IS; his whole POINT of existing is to inspire kids both in real life and in his fictional world and to reassure them that their situation will only end the way they make it; they can get out. they can be safe. they can live up to want they want to be

and thats important. thats inspiring. that is the farthest fuckin thing from “boring” you can get

anyway so if i see one more person saying midoriya is “boring/bland/etc” one more time just bc he isnt an edgy bitch like other main characters, im gonna throat punch someone. stan my boy or die

For the ask game:

tyzula

zukka

and that’s all I can think of now.

NOW WERE COOKIN

tyzula

i like it. i do. i think that if its well written and actually acknowledges how problematic azula and ty lees friendship was in the show and actively works to overcome that and grow from that then i enjoy it. but if its just written as a toxic ship or doesnt address all the shitty things azula did then its a no from me. i dont like toxic ships and in canon their friendship is INCREDIBLY toxic and while i love azula, in order for me to like a fic with azula in it and shes being portrayed as a “good guy” then youve gotta acknowledge what she did to make her evil in the first place. i hate when people gloss over the fact that she was an imperialist and was super manipulative towards people who were supposed to be her friends. in canon she was a horrible person and yes she was abused and yes she was just a kid and yes she did not deserve to be abused but that doesnt change the fact that she was still not a good person. i feel like theres a good amount of tyzula content out there that does an incredible job of addressing this and making sure they craft a good redemption arc for azula and depicts the relationship in a healthy way. other than that ive never had any issues with tyzula shippers and i do say that i ship them myself. ive hardly heard about any drama among peoppe who say tyzula is their otp and ship it hardcore (i have heard some toxic stuff tho so it isnt perfect but its also very rare for that kinda stuff to pop up on my dash) so at least from my understanding its a good fanbase a majority of the time. on a much more positive note i really enjoy their dynamic. i like how azula can be rough around the edges and very regal and proper and still bitchy and then ty lee is there to be bubbly and creative and bring joy into azulas life. i think they balance each other out well and in canon we can see very clearly how much they admire each other (despite the toxicity in canon). azula wishes she were more like ty lee and ty lee thinks azula is amazing and gorgeous. i think theyre a good pairing when done correctly.

zukka.

MY LOVES. i adore zukka. i think they have so many parallels in canon such as being over shadowed by their prodigy younger sisters, their insecurities, their profficiency in weaponry, their anxiety about following in their fathers footsteps (in diff ways obviously). i think their personalities mesh well together. dramatic dickhead zuko. genius snarky bastard sokka. i love them. and the content we get from zukka creators is SO GOOD. the art the fics everything. i love it so much. i personally relate very much to zuko in the sense that he has lots of anger and is dramatic and i relate to sokka a lot too in the semse that im sarcastic and smart and hide my emotions a lot and sometimes feel second best to my friends. i see myself in both of them and when i see them together being happy it makes me feel happy.

zukka fans on the other hand. there are good zukka fans out there. there are wonderful funny amazing zukka fans out there. but holy fuck the number of zukkas out there who conpletely fetishize the ship and strip away all of their character traits so they can make them into a weak little baby boy zuko and a suave macho man sokka (which btw are both racist characatures. if you havent seen all the poc on this app who have called these characterizations out then please please please reevaluate how ur interacting w zukka because not only is it so out of characfer for both of them. it is literally racist). and while there are so many good fics and fanarts for zukka, there is an OVERWHELMINGS number of racist, transphobic, biphobic, homophobic, and all around problematic content everywhere. and some fans are so toxic that it makes me rlly dislike being a zukka sometimes. i will always love the ship but sometimes i feel a little embarassed to be associated with it. i know that i do my best to stay far away from the toxic fans but it gets so frustrating sometimes. i know not every zukka is like this, literally all of my zukka mutuals are wonderful and amazing. but the amount of toxic fans is turning so many people off of the ship and causing people who genuinely enjoyed it to be turned off by it and its giving the good zukkas a bad name. im very upset by the reputation zukka fans have gained on this website from the toxic fans who antagonize other ships (primarily zks. i love zk. just because zks ship zuko with katara doesnt mean that its awful. toxic zukkas plz leave zks alone. so many of them are so nice. i know theres always toxic fans in every fandom and for every ship but like,,, its just so much easier to stay in ur own lane yk?). with that being said i love zukka as a ship but the fans have made it hard for many people to enjoy so sometimes its frustrating. but i love zukka. i think they are a wonderful ship and they are my favorite one in atla.

-actually rlly loves the class and tries his hardest bc he feels music is something anyone can connect w

-and also bc his other friends are in his class w him LMFAO

-always in the back w donghyun and the two are known as the alpacadong duo :’)

-mainly bc donghyun is the good student and youngmin kinda,,slacks but still manages to ace the class

-youngmin always gets into trouble and somehow donghyun is always managed to drag into it

-and when he meets lee daehwi and park woojin, those two also get dragged into whatever mess youngmin gets in

-but its ok!! bc they are like family to him and tbh, youngmin wouldn’t have it any other way

- despite being a troublemaker, he’s rlly popular on campus

- mainly bc of his attractive looks, and also bc he’s incredibly talented

- got talked into doing a performance w the other bnm boys

- and they won first LMFAO

- and after that, their popularity blew up

- the constant talk of campus

- LMFAO mainly bc u hated working w people

- u had friends yes but not in this class

- the assignment was to perform or write a composed piece in front of the class and it was a huge final

- so u couldn’t fail this even if u wanted too bc this determined if u passed or not

- and u just grit ur teeth bc ur like ‘’i have to pass’’

- so u go find youngmin, only to find him talking to donghyun

- aka more like donghyun teasing him about something and youngmin dying

- little did u know, youngmin had a crush on u ever since he saw u

- especially since u performed a piece in front of class and u showed off ur rap skills

- and he’s like

- ‘where have u been all my life’

- because u looked so cool and confident and he’s just jdnsfkdnfds

- eventually, every one of his friends found out and they just tease him about it and he’s like

- ‘lEAVE NJSDKFNDS’

- u go up to them and they take notice

- and donghyun is like ‘’good luck’’ and he flashes both of u a smile before leaving

- and ur like

- ‘’hey, do u have class after this? maybe we can work in a practice room?”

- and youngmin is like ‘’no im free!! we can do that’’

- and his hands are shaking but he still flashing u a confident smile and ur like ‘’uh ok’’

- and the two of u go off to find a practice room and youngmin trails behind u

- and donghyun, daehwi and woojin r like ‘’u can do it hyung!!”

- and youngmin just gulps bc

- u were so pretty u were intimidating and he’s like

- god help me

- ok anyways timeskip

- u guys get there quickly to secure a practice room and once u guys settled in and everything

- ur like ‘’what should we do? should we compose a song or just cover one?”

- and youngmin is like ‘’uhh should we cover one? I think that would be easier than composing bc we could choose a song we really like??”

- and ur like ‘’okay sure, what song should we do?”

- ‘’i think we should search a song up and just see if we both agree??”

- ‘’ok cool’’

- and after a while, u two decide to do akmu 200% (aka stan akmu pls)

- and u guys distribute the parts and practice and u had to admit

- youngmin was really funny

- he eventually loosened up and he started being his alpaca self

- he told lots of jokes and puns and u are just like

- ‘’cancelled’’

- cue youngmin crying and u just being done LMFAO

- u learned about his family and his favorite foods and drink and what he liked to do in his free time and who his friends were

- and in return, u opened up about urself and felt the two of u were like best friends??

- the two of u had so much in common - much more than u thought and u got along easily

- and eventually u two traded numbers bc u wanted know what days were free and weren’t

- at first, it was to let u know about when u two were free, but eventually he asked u to hang out besides working on the project

- and eventually, the two of u hang out everyday to go find good but cheap places to eat bc u know, u two r still broke college students LMFAO

- and finally the day comes and it was the moment that the two of practiced so hard for

- and u two aCE (haha stan a.c.e. too please they deserve the best) it and u guys pass w the grade of 100%

- and after class, u were sad bc u wouldnt see youngmin anymore?? even tho u talked out of class, u felt like this project helped to bring u two closer

- but u felt a hand pull u back and ure like???

- and it was youngmin and before u could say anything he interuppted u

- ‘’these past few weeks have been the best time of my life,,,and i was wondering if u would like to go out with me so i could find more about you?”

- and thats how u started dating LMFAO

-dating youngmin would include: late night runs to the convenience store for cheap ramen bc u too were so hungry 

- ‘’hey lets go to the store’’

- ‘’youngmin,,,its 4 am’’
