#ex vs sis

[jojoblessed365]

Okay, I'm just curious:

Does Rory know when Jess's birthday is? Cause I'm currently writing a scene where Jess celebrates his birthday and I'm kind of debating whether to make it a Jess and Rory moment or a Jess and Doula moment?

What do you Literati shippers want to see?

Tagging @stellaluna33 @sagestonefanfiction @windowsandfeelings @thehedgehogsdilemmaa @mrsmess cause you guys are the best at writing Literati Fanfics!! 😃

[pixiesfz]

okay so this idea is a bit out there but you know that girl on tik tok who has the woso wall and talks about all the drama in woso.She also has a wall trying to figure out if Lucy and keira are dating or ona and Lucy so I think it could be cute if you made a fic about that girl making a wall about if reader and jessie are together or if they’re dating different players and then them finding out about it and stuff.Idk I just made that up in my head so you don’t have to do it it’s just an idea 😘

YES OMG WAIT THIS IS FUNNY

on the wall j.f

plot: your sister sends you a tik tok that has you and your secret girlfriend having a serious conversation

warning: that crazy tik tok lady

It was a Tuesday afternoon when your sister sent you a link, you had just returned from your trip to Canada where Jessie took you to meet her friends and family and you couldn’t have been happier.

devils spawn: little sis…

y/n: what is it Katie?

devils spawn: you’ve made it to the wall

y/n: huh?

devils spawn: *insert link*

You furrowed your eyebrows as the link took you into tik tok, a video that already had over 65,000 likes.

“Now Tom” a woman’s voice started as she pointed at a wall, your eyes shot up at the amount of pictures of your sister and her current girlfriend and also ex girlfriend as well as other soccer players such as Lucy and Keira.

Then you saw what she was pointing at a picture of you that was next to a picture of Jessie.

You I paused the video and watched along.

“Now the McCabe sisters did not go home for their Christmas holidays this year” she stated as you looked at recent pictures from your trips to Canada and Ireland.

“Now this is y/n Mccabe, Katie’s younger sister, we’ve mentioned her a couple of times when she posted pictures of her, Katie and Caitlin” and you thought back to that post that was a couple months ago.

How long has this been going on? You thought.

“Now I haven’t put it on the board yet because their wasn’t enough evidence but it is rumoured that y/n is dating a Canadian soccer player Jessie playing who plays for Chelsea, a rival of Arsenal.

“Why would she date the enemy” the guy asked and the woman looked at him “because that’s a cool love story Tom” she rebutted.

“Well anyways, it’s confirmed that y/n dated Georgia Stanway when she was on a loan at man city” she said and pointed to an old photo of you and Georgia when you played for the team “broke up when Georgia went to Germany, we don’t know if Jessie has dated anyone other than the fact that some Chelsea fans thinks that her and team mate Niamh Charles could be an item as they are very close” she pointed at photos of both Jessie and Niamh which you paused the video to laugh at the conspiracy of her girlfriend and her bestfriend.

“But y/n was seen spending Christmas at Canada which is where Jessie is from but this isn’t the only time they’ve been caught together, at the World Cup Jessie was seen watching the Ireland vs. Australia game with an Ireland top on, very similiar to Caitlin” she rambled on “I don’t have a good enough photo of that” she muttered “then there’s also a group of pictures online that looks like a double date between the two couples” she pointed at two photos that were stuck next to each other, one with Caitlin and Katie and one with you and Jessie, though you had posted the photo months apart it was clear it was the same place.

Your mouth kept on dropping as the girl talked about instances where it could’ve been possible that you and Jessie were a thing.

When Jessie came back from training you shoved the phone into her face “watch” you demanded and say her down.

You watched her reactions as she furrowed her brows “what the heck?” She asked as you nodded “how did they know about that?” She asked when the woman talked about Jessie at your game “apparently people are more observant then we think” you told her and she glued her eyes back onto the phone.

“Remember this Tom cause I don’t think this will be the last time we talk about this couple” the woman stated before the video ended.

Jessie turned to you.

“That was the second weirdest thing I’ve seen today” she said and you furrowed your brows “then what’s the first?” You asked “well Erin showed me a video-“ “I already don’t want to know” you shut her mouth and she laughed.

“How did you find that?” Jessie asked “Katie sent it to me. They’ve been doing videos on her and Caitlin and Ruesha for a while now” you said as you scrolled through the account.

“It’s a little bit weird but expected” Jessie said and you turned to her “how so expected?” You asked and she shrugged “I mean I don’t extremely like it but women’s football is now getting more hype and I guess more fans”

You nodded at your girlfriend “I don’t like how people are caring more about our love life’s then our talent, I bet this woman doesn’t even know what position we play” you said and Jessie took your phone out of your hand.

“Should we just tell people we’re dating to make them stop making assumptions then?” Jessie asked and you looked to the wall “I don’t know” you said “I guess I’m just trying to get used to it all” you shrugged.

Jessie reached her arms around you and pulled you into a hug which you accepted “well you have me and I’ll help you get used to it all” she said and kissed you on the forehead, you smiled before pushing bf her off “have a shower you smell” you told her and she laughed.

“Well you just hugged me so I guess we both need a shower”.

You ended up getting used to the videos people made about you and Jessie, finding some of them funny and even entertaining some of it.

You commented on the wall girls tik tok once asking Tom to blink twice if he needed help and the media went crazy for it.

You and Jessie did eventually open up to the public about your relationship, posting a photo of you at a Chelsea dinner with Jessie’s hand on your thigh as you kissed her cheek.

‘she may look happy here but we made a bet that she would wear my Arsenal kit if we won the derby so @_jessflem you ready?’ Was your caption.

You were so overwhelmed by the amount of love and craziness that happened under the post you left your phone for the day whilst Jessie read out the comments begging for the photos of Jessie in the kit.

Jessie reposted the post adding a message saying that nobody would ever see the photos of her in your kit.

“That wasn’t as hard as we thought” Jessie said as she pulled you into her chest that night and kissed you goodnight

Hi, is it okay to request in Transformers Earthspark?

so since we have a twin sister for TFA Elita-1, is it okay to have a twin sister for TFE Elita-1?

Buddy as the TFE Elita's twin sis.

TFE Elita's twin sis has the different/opposite of Elita, like Buddy's meek/shy, pacifist (yet has passive-aggressiveness), nurse, and/or mom friend. Or similar to Disney Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

"Buddy" is not their original name, used to be named "A-2 or E-2".

With Optimus (Orion Pax), Megatron(us or D-16), and Elita (Ariel) from their Pre-war times. You can put romance if you like

You can add this idea/s if you like:

takes place on pre-war Cybertron

TFE Elita's twin becomes techno-organic (like TFA Elita's (twin) ), or something else that is somehow related to Quintus Prime (something like, Quintus left his homeworld, using his Emberstone to seed life across the galaxy. Let's say there's an unknown/undiscovered planet related to Quintus Prime, and somehow Elita's twin landed/crashed/stranded on this planet), or not

then something happens to Elita's twin, became a missing/'dead' bot, she lost contact with her sis and friends and/or Cybertron. Later, she's found by the Decepticons, and she joins the cons, still has the same personality, also she didn't know there's a Bots Vs. Cons war happen before her missing

become a missing con, again, during the (nearly end) war on Earth, and only Megatron knows about it (ex. He and Elita's twin had a secret meet and he somehow found a stasis pod and hid her (in Witwicky near the Terran cave), or other ideas of your own)

And I'm stopping here for now since this long request, i'm putting the part two of this, and I'm so sorry if it's too much/been making too many requests

Thank you so much and also stay safe and healthy!

This... this is good.

A chance on writing Elita Ones's twin sister in a different way?

Count me in!

Friendly reminder this has nothing to do with TFA twin sister

Hope you enjoy!

Elita One's twin sister pre war backstory

SFW, Platonic, Familial, Mention of injury, Angst, Cybertronain reader

TFE

Buddy and Elita were the best of sisters.

But they weren’t always known as Buddy or Elita One.

Before the war, Elita One was known as Ariel.

Buddy’s original name was E-2.

Ariel was the more outgoing twin who always tried to get her twin to go outside of her comfort zone and to make more friends.

E-2 on the other hand was much quieter than Ariel, still held a strong presence with her.

Ariel was the one who introduced her to Orion Pax and D-16.

“E, this is Orion and D-16. Guys this is my twin E-2.”--Ariel

Orion waves at E-2 with a warm smile on his face.

E-2, who was partially hiding behind Ariel, waves back shyly.

Ariel gently pushes her forward at D-16.

D-16 smiles at E-2.

E-2 smiles back.

“Hi.”—E-2

“Hello.”—D-16

Ariel swings both of her arms around them all.

“I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.”--Airel

E-2 gives them all a shy smile.

The four of them were a nearly inseparable group.

Orion and E-2 got along well, looking after Airel and D-16.

The two often had data pads they exchanged every other cycle and little chat about what they were about.

They were also the second voice of reason for Ariel and D-16 when they thought of activities or thoughts.

Ariel and D-16 looking at the tall drop off towers.

“I wonder what would happen if we went up there…”--Airel

“And what if we jumped off?”—D-16

“Exactly!”--Ariel

“Or!”--Orion

“And just hear us out, we DON’T jump off of the building, hmm?”—E-2

“We’ll be fine E.”--Ariel

“Ariel, just because I’m close to becoming an actual nurse doesn’t give you and 16 a free pass into a hospital.”—E-2

“Of course not, we have you and Orion for that.”—D-16

“D-16, you and I know that Orion is terrible at patch work jobs. Seriously just ask Ratchet.”—E-2

“Hey! I’m not that bad.”--Orion

“You fainted when you saw D-16’s injured servo. You’re not ready for any patch work.”—E-2

D-16 and E-2 got along like a house on fire.

Both wanting a better change for Cybertron, they found many things they could agree on.

Often D-16 would come to E-2 for help on his upcoming speeches and practice in front of her.

E-2, Ariel and Orion often went to D-16, now named Megatron, speeches about change on Cybertron.

The group could agree that changes needed to be made, but Buddy thought that maybe a more peaceful approach would be in the best interest of the bots.

This would soon cause a rift between the groups as Ariel backed Megatron’s bit forceful approach while Orion tried to play mediator.

It was around this time another one of E-2’s closest friends had offered her a chance to go on an expeditionary trip.

It was just to look at some planets then return to Cybertron.

Out of pure spite, E-2 agreed to go.

Anyways, he needed a medic with him in case something bad happened and E-2 had just finished with her tests and licenses.

“I’m sorry, you’re what?!”--Ariel

“Ariel calm down, I’m just going on a quick trip and I’ll be back in a couple of weeks. Two months the most.”—E-2

“Why can’t he just go by himself? Doesn’t he have a lab partner?”--Ariel

“His lab partner had something going on at the last minute and couldn’t go. Anyways he needs a medic in case something goes wrong.”—E-2

Ariel had a frustrated look on her face and crossed her arms.

Orion looked at E-2.

“When will you be leaving? The docking ports are notorious for taking long time to—”--Orion

“I’m leaving tomorrow.”—E-2

“…”--Everyone

“YOU’RE WHAT?!”—Ariel and Megatron

E-2 flinches at the loud noise.

“How can you leave at a time like this?! We need as many bots on our side as possible! Not galivanting through space like its some sort of vacation!”--Megatron

Buddy feels her servos tighten as her anger rises.

“This is not some sort of vacation Megatron. I’m being a good friend—”—E-2

“If you were a good friend then you would stay here!”--Megatron

E-2 takes a step forward, surprising all three bots.

“And if I don’t?”—E-2

Megatron angrily takes a step forward almost menacingly.

“Do you want to find out E-2?”--Megatron

E-2 clenches her servos and walks away.

“And where are you going coward!”—Megatron

E-2 turns on her pedes fast and angry.

“I’m going before I say anything that I might regret!”—E--2

E-2 storms off into the night.

Orion looks at his friends.

“Ariel?”--Orion

Ariel looks a bit conflicted.

“…She should be supporting the movement Orion.”--Ariel

Orion looks appalled before starting to walk in E-2’s direction.

“Orion? Where are you going?”--Ariel

“To check on your twin sister.”--Orion

E-2 was honestly still surprised to see them all at the gates for the launch.

Buddy said her goodbyes in hugs.

Orion hugged her tightly and wished her the best.

Ariel gave a halfhearted hug.

Buddy tried to hug Megatron, but he moved away.

Hurt, Buddy waved goodbye instead.

Megatron just huffed despite Ariel slightly jabbing his side.

Buddy grabbed her kits and began walking to the front of the door to wait for her friend.

Her friend came rushing in, giving her a hug, and thanking her for wanting to join.

“You’re a life saver E! Star had something wrong with his tanks and—”

“Is that him?”—E-2

E-2 sees a seeker lingering around the drop off point not too far from where her friends and family were.

“Yeah, that’s him. He wanted to see how the launch went.”

E-2 smiles at the seeker and waves at him.

The seeker looks a bit shocked but waves back.

“Are you ready to go?”

He stretches his servo for E-2 to grab.

She does looking up at her friend.

“Lead the way Skyfire.”—E-2

They made their way into the security area before reaching their pods and shooting into the starry sky.

None of them knew it was going to be the last time they were going to see each other.

The two came across the planet Skyfire had been raving about.

It was a smaller planet splashed green and blue.

It looked like a peaceful world.

Skyfire wanted a closer look at the planet.

E-2 was a bit hesitant, but she followed her friend downward.

Neither were expecting the harsh jet streams to be so strong.

E-2 felt everything about this being a bad omen and tried to radio in Skyfire to start getting out of the area.

Skyfire reported that his pods navigation systems weren’t responding.

E-2 tried to fly closer to Skyfire’s pod in attempts to attach a cord to get him out when her pod suddenly went dark and dropped.

E-2 screamed in terror as she plummeted to the planet below.

Skyfire managed to get out of his pod and managed to get to E-2’s pod opening it and dragging her out.

He tried to fly with her out of the Jetstream and back into space, but the winds proved too cold and strong.

Next thing E-2 realized was that she was falling again while the stream carried a screaming Skyfire far away.

She tumbled onto the cold ground below and rolled into a hole in the ground.

With all her tumbling, she accidentally caused a cave in.

E-2 hit her helm against a boulder before landing in a pool of cold water.

Her helm was bleeding profusely as she tried to stand up.

Trying to get up, she noticed a strange rock in the center of the cave and a small organic creature on her armor.

She didn’t notice the rock glowing until it was too late.

Her entire frame felt like it was on fire, screaming in pain.

When it was over, she fell backwards into the cool water, slowly closing her optics from the pain.

The last thing she thought about was Ariel, Orion and Megatron.

They were probably thinking she was going to come back home any day now.

She wanted to say sorry to them…

Sorry that she wasn’t coming back home…

…

Back on Cybertron the life signals on the pods had turned dark.

The station had called Orion, Areil, Starscream and Megatron to tell them about the freak accident.

Most likely faulty wiring on the pods.

Either way, none of the passengers survived.

Everyone was in shock.

Ariel then started to sob horribly.

Orion immediately came to her aid hugging her tightly trying to keep his own tears at bay.

Megatron just stood there in shock.

Starscream demanded to know whose fault this was.

He nearly clawed at the poor bot across the table if Megatron hadn’t grabbed him back.

He held Starscream noticing the shakiness of both of their frames.

There was nothing they could do now.

One of the biggest regrets Megatron had in his entire life was not hugging Buddy that day or trying harder to make her stay.

Elita regretted not being able to stop her twin from leaving and not saying love you one last time.

Orion regretted not going with her.

Maybe he could have done something to help with the faulty wiring or something.

They weren’t going to see her again, not until it was their time to go to the Allspark.

Until then… till all are one.

Best Underrated Anime Group C Round 4: Ping Pong the Animation vs White Cat Legend

#C6: Ping Pong the Animation

Sports anime for people who prefer bildungsromans to sports

#C8: White Cat Legend 2020 (Dali si Rizhi)

Government employee and his white cat boss investigate crimes

Details and poll under the cut!

#C6: Ping Pong the Animation

Summary:

Despite being polar opposites, Makoto "Smile" Tsukimoto and Yutaka "Peco" Hoshino have been best friends since childhood. Although the overly confident Peco strives to be the best ping-pong player in the world, he often skips practice, earning the ire of his fellow teammates on the Katase High School ping-pong team. Meanwhile, Smile—in spite of his innate talent for the sport—cannot help but hold back his full strength when playing against others. Through their mutual love for ping-pong, the two have developed a bond that is seemingly unbreakable.

When Peco hears that an ex-national team player from China is coming to Japan, he drags Smile over to rival Tsujido High School to observe them. The subsequent trip leads to a clash between Peco and Kong Wenge, who overwhelmingly defeats the former in one game. Stunned by such a comprehensive loss, Peco finds himself questioning why he plays to begin with. Seeing his potential as a player, Katase's coach begins to train Smile to overcome his hesitation, but he is reluctant to play if it is not for enjoyment.

As the two struggle to find meaning in the sport, a plethora of stronger players—each with their own internal strifes—await them at the inter-high tournament, where only the very best can persevere. But when these young athletes let their unbridled ambition go unchecked, the hardships they face paint a somber reality as they pursue glory.

Propaganda:

An experimental director (Masaaki Yuasa) adapting a work from a very stylized and emotionally-focused shonen mangaka (Taiyo Matsumoto). This is an anime that feels more like watching an indie arthouse movie than a shonen anime. Featuring characters and arcs that subvert standard anime tropes, it gives an incisive picture into youths on the verge of growing up and learning responsibility. If you want to watch a short anime (one 11-episode season!) which will include cool sports action (and that’s coming from someone who is not generally into sports animes) the matches given weight by the primary use of them in narrative being as checkpoint in the characters’ growths.

I tend to prefer shojo over shonen for being more introspective, with the emotional arcs developed slower and more subtly, but for me this shonen hits a sweet middle ground of having that more internal feel, while getting to do the shonen things of having cooler, action-focused animation and character relationships which are about friendship rather than romance, and character arcs that are about trying to strive hard to achieve a dream. The show is quite well critically regarded, but a lot of anime fans get turned off by the unusual art style, and there isn’t really a fandom for it, so I think it counts as underrated anyways! Anyways, I think it delivers a really impactful and complete story-arc in a short time, and it leaves you feeling like you’ve grown alongside the characters, no matter how old you are (no seriously, my 50-year-old mother walked away saying she didn’t know anime was such a profound genre when I made her watch this).

Trigger Warnings: None.

#C8: White Cat Legend 2020 (Dali si Rizhi)

Summary:

Chen Shi, a young man from the countryside, journeys to the capital in search of his missing older brother, whose existence he has only known about upon his mother’s death. He knows neither the name nor face of his brother, and after finally arriving at the capital he runs out of money as well. One thing led to another, and he finds himself employed at Dali Court, working for Vice Minister Li Bing, a large white cat.

On the other hand, Li Bing is of royal blood who was imprisoned because of his family’s treason. Now, he has to work in the government to atone for the crime.

At Dali Court, they review court cases from all over the country. And when an incident involving the esteemed ministers of the royal court breaks out, Dali Court is called to help—only to find themselves entangled in political threads and hit heads with an eccentric demon.

Li Bing is determined to get to the bottom of this, but how far can he go when he could turn into a real cat at any time when left unchecked?

Propaganda:

Intriguing plot? Check. Complex and interesting characters? Check. Comedy? Check. Drama? Check. 

The blend of comedy and drama is just so good. I started the show because I love cats and supernatural stuff. Who would’ve thought it would pull me into an abyss of despair and political intrigue. The cat demons turned out to be just the icing on the cake. 

We have all these different characters brought up in different ways that their ideas of what is Right conflict with each other. None of them are exactly Wrong or inherently Evil (except for one guy), and this makes it so much more difficult to choose who to root for. You’d think everyone against the protagonists are the Enemies, but turns out even the protagonists are limited by their biases and unintentionally harm others. The two protagonists themselves get into arguments because of their different standpoints.

And I just love this because it makes them realistic, you know? The characters don’t always agree with their friends, and their enemies are not completely hostile either. It really all boils down to what they believe in. Sometimes their beliefs align with existing comrades, and sometimes they find it on the other side.

Production-wise, this show also gets a check on everything. As an adaptation, it’s amazing. The original manhua has quite a simple style—kind of like comic book drawings, and panels are all rectangles in one straight line. Storytelling is also simple and straight to the point. 

But the 2020 donghua? God, it went far and beyond that.  The animation team does not cut corners at all, which is a feat considering the show has a low budget from what I’ve heard. 

A short, simple scene in the manhua becomes an emotionally-devastating experience in the donghua. The animation choices, angles, music, and just everything else blend so well to deliver a STORY. This adaptation does not just copy frames from the source (like Blue Lock) or cut/reorder some of the scenes (like Horimiya and Sasaki to Miyano). White Cat Legend 2020 understands the material so well that it can creatively use the advantages of the animation medium to deliver an experience that exceeds even that of the source. Think Mob Pyscho 100 or One Punch Man s1 level of creativity. It even has mini stories at the end of the ending song. For s1, the mini stories are in stop-motion, while for s2 it’s formatted like a video game. You gotta appreciate the effort.

I saw your answer for the ua sending kids to danger, especially war, and I raise you a different possibility (100% speculation on my part) "can we say for sure the others schools were asked the same thing but said no?"

Yes. We dont know anything about the others schools. Maybe they offer and Hori never show as we saw them entering in the war part 2: the eletrical bangaloo....but to be fair, it would be hard for them to sit in class and doing homework as war is literally in their grounds, streets and so forth.

But on part 1. We dont see the others students there. So again, my especulation, what if they had put feets down and said no?

But Nezu said yes? I can think of a few reasons for that. (Keep in mind I dont think Nezu is a smart as Hori and the fandom wants us to think)

1) could have been a power play of sort. "Only mys students can handle this" which well...could work as Nezu is not human and doesnt seem to care about the students on a whole (remmeber Mina and Kami vs Nezu? How fair was that?)

2) he genuinely thought his students would be an asset to the heroes and said ok. Which makes me believe even more he doesnt care for his students's safety.

3) he was forced. Ok, what could have made him agree to this? Blackmail comes to mind but what secret is si damn important you are willing to send kids to war?

Those are my top 3 reasons. And not sure if is canon this but I think the class A1 didnt know they were sent to a war...if this is true, then is anothet adult(non human) who failed Izu.

Like MHA is an accidental dystopia.

The thing is with Nezu is the age old standard of Int/Wis; Nezu is book smart, he has a lot of knowledge, facts, and ability to apply those facts to make a thing happen. That's Intelligence, the ability to use your mind, and he's probably only has even faintest hint of competition in his sheer Int score with Dr. Diabolus Ex Machina.

Wisdom, on the other hand, is when you go, 'But should I do this'?

At a memetically extreme example, a High Int, Low Wis character could find a door somewhere, decide to open it, and make a siege engine out of, I don't know, hamburgers and coat hangers to bust it open. This is certainly a thing they could do, and it'd work because they are, in fact, that spot.

Meanwhile, the character with higher (any) Wisdom would walk up to the door... and then try to open it like a normal person.

Intelligence is ability to use your mind, and Wisdom is what tells you how you should use your mind, and when you look at Nezu, you only really see Intelligence, and then no one in story ever seems to question his decisions, really, because he's really smart, but there's a real question if he uses his intelligence well? Because there are a lot of 'I can do this, but no one, including me, ever asked if I should do this' kinds of choices in UA, and if we're not just blaming it on bad writing, all of that comes down to Nezu, in the end. The literal cities they just... have? The robots that probably have killed people? The Sports Festival? All of those are thing with very questionable elements that UA does anyways, seemingly because they can and no one's ever stopped them from doing it.

That's looking at the question from the angle of 'Nezu, while well meaning, made a bad call'. There is, however, one other major option, and it starts with this: why does Nezu run a school? On a fundamental level, I'm not sure Nezu's goal in running UA is for the students, so much as he views the students as a step towards his goal.

Unironically, he's a sadist who enjoys low-key torturing human beings because of past trauma, which... before anything else, begs a question: is it just low-key torture he likes? Or is he just practical enough to realize than anything more would be more trouble than it's worth?

But, beyond that problem, let's look at his position: he's the head of UA, the biggest, bestest school for Heroes, which is a job that comes with a lot of publicity/power, which, inevitably, rolls back to him. His job allows him massive amounts of control over the development of the cutting edge of heroism, who by dint of their fame and success influence other heroes, all of which collectively influences Japanese society as a whole by a pretty significant degree.

Meanwhile, Nezu is: brilliant, deeply traumatized, likes torturing, and through that defacto controlling, humans. He's also not a human, and takes pains at times to point out that others are humans and he's not, while also having assumably inhuman instincts and priorities; almost certainly he has some level of anti-human bias.

There's... there's an obvious correlation here. Fundamentally, Nezu is a character who seems to be made to be complicated, imperfect, with dark depths to him. The way he's written, Hori clearly doesn't want him to be, but, well, he writes a lot of deeply flawed characters we're supposed to find no wrong with.

If you look at Nezu that way, where he views students more as an asset, or an investment, than as, well, students, or as people, then your point takes on a different light. Looking at it with cold logic, the students can contribute to the various conflicts; even if they die, for the greater good of society (which he lives in and benifits from), heroism as a career (which he is in a position to benefit from greatly, as well as influenced greatly), and quite frankly as a living being on Japan/Earth, that cost is more than worth the price if they help support the status quo; its not like there's not going to be more next year, right?

And that's the thing that really interests me; what the hell was Hori thinking when he made Nezu? With Bakugou and Endeavour, for example, you can see where they started off one way, and went another? Nezu though? His entire point as a character seems to be firmly as the 'nice but somewhat manipulative' principal, but it's a waste of his fundamental characteristics. Did he have a different role in the prototype? Because if I was writing Nezu as a character, here's what I'd write him as:

An enemy. Not evil, not a villain, but a obstacle for Izuku to surpass in UA; it's not that he's bigoted, like Aizawa is (or at least to the same extent), he just well and truly doesn't care about people and what they do as long as his bottom line is met. And Izuku isn't there to be a new hero, like Bakugou, about fame and wealth, he doesn't fit. Worse yet, if we're working off of the original, 'Quirkless Hero' framework? Fundamentally, he is a threat to the concept of heroes that is established, that makes people want to think outside the box, and the thing is? Nezu likes the box. He's one of the people who designed it; he'd like everyone to stay in the box, please and thank you.

There's this epic story we're never going to get of Izuku being a little revolutionary, fighting against the heroic establishment to change heroism for the better and for the rights of the Quirkless, and his first major enemies are: Bakugou, the bully, Aizawa, the biased teacher who enables Bakugou and attacks Izuku, and Nezu, who enables all of them, and barely gives a shit about Izuku at all but would absolutely murder him in a heartbeat if he thought he could get away with it, but is resigned to fact he can't just kill people because they mildly irk him.

To your last point, though, fundamentally MHA is exactly a dystopia, by design; it's dystopian nature is one of the main causes for almost all conflicts in the story, from the villains, to the heroes, to Izuku's core personality traits, but for some reason Hori got really scared to admit that so he covered all the bars and locks with confetti... only after he got all the ways he purposefully made it a dystopia looking all harmless and fun, he missed all the ways he accidently made it a dystopia. To this day, I'm still not sure if he designed the heroic pay system, what little of it we know, to be purposefully that fucked up, or he just did some basic work to support what happens in the story and missed how deeply disturbing those implications were.

Quackity qui a peur des leaks parce qu’il a peur de se prendre un procès donc il ne dit rien à personne VS Solidaires qui le supplient de leur parler pour justement pas faire de procès et résoudre les problèmes à l’amiable

La prophétie auto-réalisatrice se dessine de jour en jour et ça me désespère. Je pense que je vais juste faire une pause et arrêter de suivre l’affaire pendant quelques jours :’)

Y’a des ex admins prêts à discuter avec eux, un syndicat qui s’est déclaré prêt à les aider, des ccs qui essaient de suivre le truc en interne, toute une communauté de fans qui se dit prête à attendre sans le serveur le temps que ça se règle et à aider à supporter financièrement si besoin

Et face à ça : un mur.

Je suis aussi dans la team « certaines choses doivent se régler en privé » mais bon si derrière même en privé y’a pas de communication bon.

Ça me désespère aussi dans le sens où tous les éléments sont là pour que la situation s’améliore genre on a tous les ingrédients mais le cuisto veut pas cook mdr

Sei una Ghoulcy shipper italiana!?? Allora esistiamo anche noi..non è colpa mia giuro io li amo troppo e non mi capitava dai tempi del bellarke. So che non diventeranno mai Canon ma chissenefrega. Perché su Twitter ti bloccano se ami questo pair? Mai visto nulla del genere. Sono entrata su Tumblr solo per shippare in santa pace 😅

sì, sono italiana! credo che con i miei reblog ossessivi sia come minimo riuscita a far interessare alla ship una esigua manciata di fellow sickos (italiani e non), quindi di certo non sei l'unica. anzi, su ao3 sono di gran lunga il pairing più popolare - vabbè che il fandom è praticamente neonato but still. "perché su twitter ti bloccano se ami questo pair?" oh povera figlia dell'estate shdhhfhdhd no sul serio, la cosa non mi stupisce per niente perché la coppia ha un sacco di attributi proBBBlematici (per me sono pregi ma vabbè) come l'age gap (non solo il fatto che cooper abbia più di duecento anni lol, intendo proprio fra gli attori) e la dinamica enemies to uneasy allies to (speriamo ma non ci conto proprio) lovers per cui ti accusano di essere un aBuSe aPoLoGiSt, e per giunta pure razzista perché invece di shippare la wholesome interracial pair vuoi accoppiare quella povera cinnamon roll della protagonista con il nasty old man di turno..... insomma, è un discourse vecchissimo che imo riecheggia in modo inquietante le vecchie r.eylo vs f.innrey wars dove ti facevano cyberbullismo e ti accusavano di qualsiasi cosa se volevi che rey pomiciasse col KTTV kylo ren lmao. I Was There, Gandalf™, e ho visto Cose. tbh non mi aspettavo minimamente che la coppia diventasse popolare, proprio per i suddetti motivi, ma a quanto pare ho sottovalutato il lato freak delle tumblr girlies (gnc). good for us! bisogna anche dire che se metti a paragone la cute puppy love romance con la dinamica della ghoulcy, ovviamente quest'ultima è molto più juicy. il pubblico in generale ama il conflitto, gli antieroi dannati e i villain pieni di dilemmi, per non parlare di roba tipo la bella e il mostro ecc. (infatti credo che molti più pg di colore dovrebbero essere caratterizzati in questo modo/avere questo tipo di storylines, vedi il sopraccitato finn che avrebbe ampiamente giovato di una character arc da vero ex stormtrooper con un forte conflitto interiore invece di diventare la sidekick di Super Rey. just imo ma vabbè). insomma, è un pair che può piacere quanto facilmente essere odiato da chi ha gusti, diciamo, più "convenzionali".

in ogni caso non sentirti assolutamente in colpa per shippare un pair "problematico"; la maggior parte di questi anti sono dei grandi ipocriti che amano roba problematicissima ma ti rompono le balle e si mettono a fare i moralisti solo sulle cose che non piacciono a loro. non esiste content Moralmente Puro al mondo, per non parlare di dinamiche fittizie realmente interessanti. ne so qualcosa perché sono su tumblr da dieci anni (ma non sono mai stata così masochista da iscrivermi a twitter lol). credo che un altro dei motivi per cui la ghoulcy è odiata da una fetta di pubblico sia il fatto che fallout, essendo un adattamento piuttosto riuscito di una saga videoludica di successo, riporta alla mente the last of us e il rapporto tra joel ed ellie, come se volessero ricreare una formula già comprovata, ma 1. la dinamica è molto diversa su tanti aspetti; ho visto solo il telefilm di tlou, ma joel considera davvero ellie come una figlia, in sostituzione della sua vera figlia biologica morta anni prima, mentre cooper ha già una figlia che tra l'altro pre-bomba era solo una bambina, mentre lucy è adulta (la sua prima scena è quella del suo matrimonio...); 2. è piuttosto ironico visto che un discreto numero di persone ha subodorato una... diciamo, tensione ambigua tra cooper e lucy. "there you are, little killer" e tutta la storia del dito, hello?? forse siamo solo tutti horny for la versione radioattiva del fantasma dell'opera lmao, ma è sicuramente qualcosa che ha colpito una parte di pubblico, specialmente, immagino, femminile. poi per carità, nella seconda stagione potrebbero pure dare loro un rapporto padre/figlia, anche se mi sembra difficile (infatti credo che cooper le farà da mentore, e non è la stessa cosa), e ai fan è concesso di immaginare tutti gli headcanon che vogliono... ma alcuni headcanon sono più plausibili di altri (questo vale per tutti i fandom), e non è giusto essere irrispettosi solo perché qualcun altro vuole che sti due abbiano un momento alla Famolo Strano lmao

ANYWAY, se ti va puoi mandarmi un ask con il tuo username. se ancora non ti seguo allora rimedierò, così possiamo parlare in privato tranquillamente di questo pairing incredibile (non ero così presa da tempo, proprio come te!) <3

@unhonestlymirror

Oui vs si

'Si' is used when disagreeing with a negative statement, or when answering affirmatively to a negative question (ex: You don't like cat? - No, I like them = Si - if you answer 'oui' here, it has the same value as 'non' (as in, 'Yes, I don't love them'))

Oui is for affirmative questions

That being said, sometimes people do answer with 'oui' to negative questions. Whether or not their interlocutor(s) guess correctly if their agreeing or disagreeing with them is another matter and can lead to confusion haha

[abr]

Debunkiamo il concetto di ANTI-SIONISMO. Spoiler: l'architrave fondante di tutto il resto anti Israele è un FAKE.

Fact Statement: Israele non è solo una "Patria di Ebrei". E' UNO STATO MODERNO MULTI RELIGIOSO MULTI ETNICO. E multi opinionato (si, come da noi postano anche i cretini, ma diversamente da Gaza, codesti NON rappresentano l'intero Paese: it's democracy).

Di fatto città parte di Israele da sempre, come ad es. Haifa, sono a maggioranza arabo-islamica. Arabi islamici cittadini israeliani 100% che definiscono Israele PATRIA: votano, servono nell'esercito etc.

Quantifichiamo: la Lista Comune (Hadash - Balad - Ta'al - Lista Araba Unita) dei partiti arabi rappresenta il terzo partito nella Knesset con 15 seggi (il Likud al governo ne ha 36) su 120 totali. Un po' più dei sudtirol e anche dell'islam in Francia.

Per questo motivo la litania giudaismo vs. sionismo é fuorviante cliché da anni '60. Non al livello di vergognose fake da Hamas proxy tipo "Israele distrugge chiesa ortodossa a Gaza", ma é fallo di confusione.

A maggior ragione il trito e AMBIGUO slogan "opporsi al sionismo non è antiebraismo". Ad esser generosi è sfondare una porta aperta: anche senza contare gli arabi, la stragrande maggioranza degli israeliani NON E' SIONISTA.

Quantifichiamo anche qui: i due partiti "sionisti" han 13 voti in tutto (nell'Italì SANA li chiameremmo IDENTITARI: funny come siano anti Zion certi che "in casa nostra solo migranti che sposino i nostri valorI"); 16 in tutto quelli religiosi ortodossi, divisissimi tra aschenaziti ex est europei più leave me alone vs. sefarditi ex paesi arabi, i più radicali (han terribili memorie, più recenti di chi ha subito nazismo e pogrom).

Aldilà del debunking di un FAKE, considero gli effetti concreti della posizione "antisionista" qualunque sia la sua motivazione: oggettivamente fiancheggia le posizioni di Hamas OPPONENDOSI AL DIRITTO DI REAZIONE DI ISRAELE (anche qui, btw, so funny come molti qui condividano il diritto all'autodifesa in casa propria senza limiti, ma Israele no: LA COERENZA?).

Appendice solo per chi fosse interessato al mio punto: in sintesi è il concetto di AVAMPOSTO. Basta una cartina geografica per capirlo.

Israele stato OCCIDENTALE è un CORPO ESTRANEO, non solo nel M.O; in quanto veramente occidentale, non sta bene alle VERE LOBBY GLOBALI (non ebbraiche, o non solo: lo dice la parola stessa, so' globali), quelle che investono dinero sonante - o dovrei dire renminbi - nelle Ong della Tratta, nelle armi iraniane e non, nei woke e nelle Grete, per farvi la transizione energetica addosso a vostre spese, e finalmente il COMUNISMO la trionferà.

Non potendo rimuovere l'avamposto prima e l'Occidente per come (ancora) lo conosciamo poi, han deciso di eroderli, corromperli progressivamente. Coi razzi e il terrore l'uno, con l'appeasement al terrore e la demografia l'altro. Ovunque usando genti sfortunate come oggetti, mai soggetti: corpi contundenti da sacrificare, bambini inclusi, come nei barconi. Lo scontro sia lungo, logorante, senza escalation fino a quando saranno maggioranza. LI' COME A CASA VOSTRA. Eh la valenza degli avamposti.

Cetero censeo Hamas esse delendam.

Si, SONO ESPLICITAMENTE DI PARTE: LA MIA - OCCIDENTALIS SUM.

Conscio di quanta merda abbiamo in pancia in Occidente oggi, proprio per questo non voglio ulteriori input di shit dis-umana in-civile da est e da sud, mentre combatto la mia. E VOI?

nb: non faccio mai il troll - chiedere al buring mai caghé; argomento solo con persone che stimo, nella vita reale come in quella virtuale. So che chi ha ispirato questo debunking non usa il sionismo come altri, a mo' di coprivergogna per non far coming out antiebraico. Purtroppo c'è questo elefante nella stanza, quelli che ancora adesso ebrei ai forni. Problemi non miei: isolateveli voi "anti Zion" ma intellettualmente onesti, se capite il danno di in-credibilità che vi apporta la nostalgia dei perdenti.

Wren Blake x John Seed ( @nightwingshero ) vs Ludovica Rossi x Pier Lombardi ( @raybotonline )

Art by @beemot

who makes up your ship?:

Wren Blake and John Seed

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

Have tried to kill each other multiple times (she also spit in his face), banged it out, then tried to kill each other again. Have slit throats together, banged it out, then cut up some more people. They're Not The Drama. Wren killed John's sister and John kidnapped and tortured her friends because they got into a fight about Wren going to the Whitetails when called. Made out after. Literally obsessed with each other. Wren killed an ex lover of John's, John made sure she wasn't getting any anywhere else. He taught her how to kill, she taught him how to love...and to make people bleed more. Literally live in luxury and yummy foods while the sounds of the Resistance burning alive and dying are right outside. But Wren puts on some music and they dance, it's fine. They can't hear or see no evil. The Judge and the Baptist with their smiles and their bloodstained knives, how romantic. Also banged during the baptism.

who makes up your ship?:

Ludovica Rossi / Pier Lombardi

why does your ship deserve to be considered the most toxic?:

Well. Ludovica met Pier when the two of them were in college and they both hit it off quite well, but once they graduated and got married immediately after things started to go a bit downhill. You see, Ludovica, being an aspiring business owner, was never really in it for the love-- she was in it to make herself look good, and what looks better to the public than a woman in STEM who is still married and has a child while being the ever so responsible CEO of a robotics company? Over the 10 or so years they were together (6 of which they were married for) Ludovica grew to resent Pier and all of his shortcomings, but was at least happy he was easy to manipulate into doing whatever she wanted. After a while, she divorced Pier, but one condition set Pier off the deep end; he wasn't allowed to see his daughter Chiara ever again. This condition made Pier, for lack of better words, completely *snap*, and he ended up completely reprogramming one of HINTCORP's (the robotics company Ludovica owns and that Pier worked for) prototype assistance robots to be a killing machine, and attempted to murder Ludovica with it. He didn't succeed at all, and dissappeared completely after the murder attempt, leading everyone around him to assume he died-- in particular, Ludovica claimed to the press and the court that he had committed suicide after the fact. Pier is, of course, still alive, lurking the halls of the abandoned HINTCORP building like a ghost.

Juan Dalmau derrumba los mitos de la soberanía mientras comparte lecciones de vida en La Maestría

Y en mi casa, mis padres defendían arduamente la estadidad. Recuerdo que los debates siempre giraban hacia el progreso económico que trajo nuestra afiliación con la nación norteamericana. Y cómo el resto de los países soberanos vivían en peores condiciones que acá.

Hoy día esa retórica se ha quedado igual. De adulto, la inmensa mayoría de mi círculo cercano apoya la estadidad. Pero hoy día es mas por el tema de seguridad. Es un “hedge” ante la incertidumbre gubernamental.

Sin embargo, cómo financiero siento que los datos actuales son difíciles de ignorar. Según los últimos estados financieros emitidos por Hacienda, un 43% de los ingresos del país vienen de transferencias federales (alrededor de $10b). La moneda del dólar, la opcionalidad de libre transito y de laborar en el país mas productivo y rico del mundo (Estados Unidos) ofrecido por la ciudadanía americana todavía apuntaba a que no contamos la infraestructura económica para enfrentar la soberanía de manera inmediata.

Y ahí surgió la oportunidad de cuestionar estos temas con la autoridad puertorriqueña mas prominente de la soberanía— Lcdo. Juan Dalmau

Estoy casi seguro que sabes quién es. Ex-candidato a la gobernació por el Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), pero quizás no sabías que tiene maestría en @harvardlaw. O que NO viene de familia indepentista. O que casi pierde un hijo a raíz del cáncer. Pero si debes saber por seguro que se desvive por el tema de la descolonización de PR. Tema que en la actualidad está tomando vuelo en la esfera federal, reportado así por el New Yorl Times

Por eso este episodio de la maestria con Raul Palacios cae como anillo al dedo. Es la clase que quisiera haber tenido de jovencito. Para orientar y educar de un tema que no tiene visibilidad. El clásico debate: soberanía vs estadidad.

Por cierto, Mayra que buena es!!! si le sumas a Sam y James, y ademas las subidas y balones al area de Lucy, el Chelsea se ve bastante bien. Se imaginan una final de Champions Barcelona vs Chelsea, mi corazoncito no aguantaría tanto estrés.

No entiendo porque no la metieron si ya está lista y preparada. Así talvez le daban descanso a Ona.

El chealse viene fuerte este año. Mayra merece cada centavo que fue pagado por su trasferencia y con la nueva DT (la ex del Lyon) estoy segura que nos vamos a ver con ellas en algún punto. Pero lucy ya ganó 5 champion así que mi corazón no se va a dividir cuando la enfrentemos

PAST vs FUTURE KAI || TASK 3

@tbthqs

2013/14: ORGULHO

❛❛ A soberba precede a destruição, e a altivez do espírito precede a queda.

Kai estava no topo do mundo. Com os olhos em si, com grandes promessas, com a confiança de um batalhão inteiro. Adorava os holofotes, adorava adrenalina constantemente. Era muito ousado, nunca havia um tempo ruim com ele que fosse. Ninguém podia o derrubar da sua posição naquele momento: era invicto, um herói imbatível, e acreditava piamente naquilo. Até não ser mais.

2024: AVAREZA

❛❛ Porque o amor ao dinheiro é a raiz de todos os males; e alguns, nessa cobiça, se desviaram de (…) si mesmos [e] se atormentaram com muitas dores.

A vida fácil o corroeu, o deixou acostumado. Não mais havia o brilho nos olhos de um campeão, de um gladiador. Seduzido pelos prazeres de uma boa vida fácil onde o esforço era pouco valorizado, Kai se acomodou. Não tinha incentivo para se mostrar merecedor do próprio nariz, para não precisar de proteção. Para quê? Casado, ganhava presentes, sexo fácil, acesso à quadra poliesportiva. Era solitário, sim, mas ao menos tinha a companhia de bens materiais que não tinha antes. Faria o que fosse preciso para continuar vivendo de forma confortável, sem incomodações, colocando o conforto material até acima do próprio sonho apagado.

DIFERENÇAS BRUSCAS

Kai sente muito, muito sono, o tempo todo. Antes tinha muita energia para gastar e era visto constantemente se movimentando; até sentado, ficava batendo os pés, mexendo com alguma coisa nas mãos. No futuro, os esportes que pratica de vez em quando nas quadras acimentadas são a única coisa que o faz querer se mexer de verdade. Na faculdade tinha energia para dar e vender, contudo no auge dos seus trinta anos era possível vê-lo dormindo em pé, ou enrolado em um cantinho puxando um sono gostoso.

Sua fala e a compreensão labial em 2024 são infinitamente melhores do que em 2014. Isso foi resultado principalmente por conta da recusa do ex-marido em aprender mais do que o básico de ASL.

Kai se tornou extremamente materialista. Sempre foi uma pessoa muito mimada durante toda a vida, apenas em diferentes âmbitos. Primeiro era emocionalmente e psicologicamente pelos pais que o queriam proteger do mundo lá fora; segundo, pelas próprias habilidades talentosas que o faziam ter confiança demais em si mesmo; depois foi pelos presentes do marido que o tinha como trophy partner. Nasceu pobre, viveu a maior parte da vida pobre, e só conseguiu ter luxo de verdade durante o casamento. O divórcio foi sofrido mais pela casa que perdeu do que o relacionamento em si. Todos os bens materiais, principalmente quanto mais de marca ou com valor monetário associado forem, começaram a ter mais valor. Conforto físico e econômico tornou-se sua prioridade mais do que os esportes.

COISAS EM COMUM

É o mais óbvio: mesmo que tenha desistido do sonho de ser atleta profissional, Kai ainda é apaixonado por esportes. Assistia na TV, acompanhava os resultados no celular, lia livros que se passavam naquele cenário; tudo para relembrar da adrenalina que sentia ao entrar numa quadra, num campo, ao erguer um novo troféu.

Como dito anteriormente, Kai nunca deixou de ser mimado. Em diferentes âmbitos e por diferentes pessoas, sim, mas mimado de qualquer jeito. Não suporta quando não consegue o que quer (o que quer é o que realmente mudou). Bate o pé, empina o nariz, discute, distorce as regras, faz algo quando dizem que não podia, porque sim. Porque ele quer, e ponto final. Ai de você se ignorá-lo!

Nunca deixou de ser maluco por apostas. Conforme foi ficando cada vez mais preso dentro de uma rotina pacífica, mesmo que muito do seu espírito tenha morrido, a maneira mais fácil de fazê-lo acordar de volta para a vida é perguntar se quer apostar alguma coisa. Qualquer coisa, o tempo todo, desde que envolva algum desafio físico (empilhar cartas, correr até ali, marcar mais pontos, gritar mais alto, etc...). É a competitividade que nunca morreu, no final das contas.

Continua não suportando que o chamem de incapaz ou, pior ainda, de fraco. Nascido prematuro e surdo, e nunca crescido muito, foi fácil para os pais o verem como um bibelô a vida inteira. Ser um ace na maior quantidade de esportes possíveis é a sua maneira de mostrar que consegue se virar e que não é delicadinho. Não se incomoda com as brincadeiras pela altura (ele se enxerga no espelho), a não ser que usem isso para lembrá-lo o quão coitadinho é. Nunca deixou de ser a maneira mais fácil de tirá-lo do sério.
