lymond's first few conversations with christian are so... to be so hated and lonely and to cling so hard to this one scrap of human connection

Smack Ino's ass~

Dare my muse to smack someone's ass | @minds-interlinked

Not wasting another minute, Shino accepts the dare and sneaks behind Ino. He's confident he'll survive. So, stretching his fingers wide, Shino doesn't give a single warning before swinging.

He smacks Ino's ass hard enough to make her stumble forward from the force. Quickly after, Shino shoves his hands back in his pockets and stands casually, feigning ignorance to what just happened. As if he didn't do it.

People are always saying, like, they hate it when people defend villains by saying they did nothing wrong. That it's better to hate a villain for valid reasons than love them for invalid reasons. That loving a character as if they are flawless is inferior to pointing out their flaws and mistakes and crimes every time just to prove you understand that your problematic fave is problematic and like...

That's nice or whatever but Jin Guangyao did nothing wrong.

Image description: A chibi illustration from The Complete Guide Book of MOTHER (scanned by Biozilla) showing a zoo tour guide with long hair, bangs, and a matching vest, bow, and hat, holding a clipboard and gesturing to a Starman in a cage. (For the purposes of our post, let's imagine she's a reporter instead, okay?) The Starman is rendered hilariously squat and has either a tear running down it's "cheek" or maybe it's a sweat bead, either way, he’s not feelin’ it.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[hexjulia]

i don't even know what to say. Apparently my brother has been sending doja cat (singer) recipe links as instagram dms for literal YEARS now because he doesn't know an easy way to bookmark them in the app. Which led to an attempt to save recipes by just linking them to celebrities who he assumes aren't checking their dms anyways. this lifehack got him blocked by mac demarco and lorde however. Doja never blocked or responded so he just continued to use her inbox to save insta recipes. FOR YEARS.

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.
