#i mean the bare minimum is just to not be an asshole yk?

[inniave]

idk how to put words together to say what i want to say. so if this doesn't make sense that's why. i think sometimes the language about fetuses used by pro choice people is intentionally inflammatory and further drives a wedge between pro choice /pro life. and sometimes the lack of respect is so glaring. what is your gross, dehumanizing, awful descriptors of a fetus supposed to accomplish? you aren't winning anyone over. you're pushing others away. and for the folks who have experienced miscarriage, can you imagine the grief that comes only to be met with "it's just a disgusting alien parasite clump of cells"? you're only posturing to other people who already agree with you. you're taking no care. no compassion. why should anyone ever listen to you when you obviously discredit the significance of pregnancy? why should a pregnant person trust you when you belittle a massive decision and call their growing baby insignificant & a cancer? idk man. i'm not blaming anyone, i just. maybe think about it for a few minutes before you call a fetus a smeared shit stain. okay?

! i am staunchly pro-choice ! this is not a condemnation of abortion ! abortion should be easily accessible to all people !

Tee…

I’m now on my hands and knees BEGGING for bully Gojo who is (secretly) DISGUSTINGLY IN LOVE over the reader PLEASE ANY CRUMBS I WILL TAKE

(you don’t actually have to write this it was just a nice thought)

idkkkkk if it’s rly bully gojo—but he’s definitely a real cunt for sure.

i just think about an asshole! gojo a lot like he’s ur lab partners or something and he does that stereotypical jerk move where he’s like “seriously ?? her ??” when he’s first paired with you. and he’s just naturally an douche, yk ?? wears sunglasses indoors and makes jokes at the professors expense under his breath that gets him snickers and snorts from his frat guys in his class. has to be asked more than once to “please keep it down in the middle of class” by wtv prof he’s in class with.

and he ofc makes u do all the work bc he can’t be bothered—and on the rare occasion that he is bothered, he just does a poor job that’s the bare minimum and sloppy enough that ur like wtv i’ll just do it myself. and then ofc sometimes u don’t have a choice but to meet up to finish something after class every now and then—he wouldn’t care to, but he actually needs to know the stuff for the final report he has to write individually, so he begrudgingly meets up with you, and sometimes you notice his friends give you an amused look when he walks up with them. they snicker before they leave as he sits with you. sometimes they make a snide comment here and there like “have fun with ur super hot date” that makes him roll his eyes—he doesn’t do much to hide the look of distaste on his face.

but then—and he doesn’t even know when it happens—you start to slowly grow on him. because ur actually pretty snarky urself, sometimes making a dry comment here and there about the professor and his stupid bald headed self. sometimes a girl in the distance laughs too hard a group of guys that u roll ur eyes and mumble how “if i had a voice like that i’d never laugh in public” and it makes him snort a bit without meaning to. sometimes you stare daggers at the person who has their music so loud thru their headphones they can’t help but notice u and turn it down in embarrassment. ur actually not as much of a pushover as he thought—you just genuinely think he’s too incapable to help u out that you’ve just shrugged him off and started doing his part. it’s an easy weekly lab class anyway, you don’t need him—and then he realizes that u rly just don’t care for him. his little snickers at u with his friends and their snide comments roll off ur back bc well…he’s him—an asshole little frat boy and u didn’t expect anything better from him. so it makes him a little intrigued—maybe a little wounded in his pride, deep down, because no one has ever been indifferent to him before. they’re either madly in love, or they hate his guts, or they follow his lead. either works—he still gets the attention he craves.

but u just don’t rly care. and ur actually pretty cool, and kinda sorta funny in a way no one else is. he likes it…and fuck, now he’s starting to like you. he can tell bc when his friends ask how his little date with you went, he starts getting a bit huffy ab it bc they don’t need to talk about you. they don’t even know you…but also….its not a date. and that’s the worst part. sometimes it feels like a date. almost—sometimes you both decide to take a break in between and go get a coffee or a light snack. sometimes he’s even paid (to which you look mildly shocked before politely thanking him) and you both walk back to the library while u make light banter and it’s…well, fun. and nice. and your laugh is pretty. and your smile is kinda cute and he (though he hates to admit it) rly likes it when u laugh because of him.

and then things start to get messy—really, he didn’t mean for it to start this way. he really was meaning to ask you in a genuine manner to see u again once the semester was finished. because he’s actually started pulling his weight—he wants u to see him for someone who’s smart. satoru is actually rly rly smart and no one knows it because he doesn’t rly show it but he is. he wants u to see that side of him—somehow there’s some sick validation he rly needs from you knowing he’s not a dense frat guy who drinks and fucks until 3 am every night. so he starts doing his parts and actually communicates with u about sections. so starts ur texting routine—sometimes a little longer than u rly need to for just doing a lab together. sometimes it’s “did u hear ab that girl in our class getting dumped in front of the kfc ??” and sometimes it’s “god our prof rly needs to get some pussy” and other times it’s “look what the guy who sits behind us just posted on his story” and it leads to a few long convos that admittedly…are rly fun. ur so fun. he likes it. he rly does like u and he thinks maybe….maybe he’s grown on u too and you know what ?? satoru’s always a jerk but ur nice and who’s to say he can’t be nice too ?? just for one person. for u, he can be a nice guy—u carried lab all on ur own long enough that u deserve it anyway.

until he gets swayed in that way only a coward can. in that way you do when ur used to being “the man” around ur friends and ur too pressured to keep up that energy for appearances sake bc u don’t wanna be the laughing stock who softened up for “some nerdy chick who’s a nobody.” so he laughs when they laugh at the fact that ur probably “still a virgin who’s never touched a guy before” and then they’re patting gojo on the back and shoving at his shoulder as they laugh harder and suggest that “y’know what would be so funny man ?? if u took her virginity. you could probably do it.”

the thought is sickening because…satoru wouldn’t want to fuck you like that. god, you have him caring about when and how he fucks you—in fact, just thinking about you lewdly makes him feel guilty. disrespectful, even. you’re more than a fleshlight for his dick. since when did he become so respectful ?? but he doesn’t know how to say no, especially when everyone starts agreeing one after the other—and oh no, now they’re betting on how quickly he can do it….and oh, now it’s not just fucking. now it’s “how long until you think she’s head over heels for you? man, that would be a sight, huh ??”

and….well, satoru decides it couldn’t hurt, right ?? he does want to be romantically involved so that would include you being head over heels. hopefully. fingers crossed. and he doesn’t rly want to seem lame in front of the guys either, so he gets to keep both sides of the coin, so is it really that bad ?? maybe not the right idea but certainly the right execution. he’ll treat you well—that much he’s confident of. so he forces out a laugh and says “gimme a month or two, you’ll see.”

and a month or two they give him. and a month or two it takes—but not for you to be head over heels. it’s him who’s utterly and completely obsessed and fallen head first and whatever else they say to describe love because wow. this must be what it is. this must be that stupid fairytale shit they always talk about because fuck, no one has ever looked at him like that. like he’s some miracle to this earth and some wonder only you know of—like you hope it stays that way and that he’s yours and yours alone and no one else comes in to take him away. satoru really likes being yours, it kinda feels better than you being his. being yours means you hold him like that at night and wake him up to a kiss between his brows and sometimes, when he gets those migraines he’s prone to getting, you always seem to know. always seem to understand when to close the blinds and keep quiet and wrap him up in the covers as you rub your thumbs over his temples soothingly.

he almost forgets about that silly little bet he made two months ago when he’s around you. actually, he forgets everything when he’s around you. he’s only ever thinking about you, you, you. when he comes back to his frat house, on the other hand, they’re all gathered around waiting for the newest details. how you must’ve been so pathetically star struck by him. how you must be embarrassingly bad at kissing. how you must stutter over every other word around him. how you must be making a complete and utter fool of urself trying to impress him and be someone you’re not bc the real you would never pique his interest.

they’re wrong ofc. if anyone’s star struck, it’s satoru bc how the hell are u so…cool ?? and so funny and witty and carefree ?? and you’re good at kissing—have him chasing your lips with a whine every time. sometimes you even chuckle at him when he does and make him blush a bit. he’s the one who stutters over his words when he sees you in your little date night outfits. sometimes he watches you drink from your straw and his brain short circuits a little until you snap at him and ask him in confusion if he’s alright. but the real kicker ?? it’s that if anyone’s pretending, it’s satoru. you’re always just you—unapologetically so, that it’s endearing and beautiful and so unearthly he wonders how he got so lucky. but him ?? he’s always acting like some guy he’s not. some chivalrous guy who opens doors and pushes out seats and kisses the back of hands and waits at least a few dates before even considering fucking. some nice, sweet, genuine guy who’s deserving.

he’s not that—never was. if you knew the real him, you’d leave in a heartbeat. it’s a scary thought. a raw feeling he doesn’t like. makes him feel all self conscious and insecure and all that weird shit he never thought he’d feel.

he tries. so hard, he tries to make them forget about that silly little bet and just slowly drop it and maybe even forget ur dating so he can just stay living this peaceful little fantasy with you—but that’s stupid. that’s naive. it’s been 4 months and enough is enough—the guys need to see the look on ur face when u realize what a fool ur being and satoru is “being a lazy ass who’s too comfortable not having for work for pussy these days.” so then there’s a video going around. it’s everyone gathered around on the couch drunk and talking about you. and satoru. you both, in fact. how it’s been two months and u seem desperate for his attention with the shrill little voice you use to call him toru, baby! it’s so, so fucking embarrassing, they say. how you think he likes it. (he does. god he does so much, it hurts. he loves it, actually, when you call him that. makes him feel special in a way he never has.) but then, the worst, most disgustingly nauseous part of the whole thing is when satoru laughs along and plays into their awful words. just lets them talk about you like you’re some piece of meat. something for him to chew up and spit out after he has a taste or you. not even worth savoring and enjoying. he laughs along and agrees—you’re nothing special and he can’t wait until he’s free of you.

that part hurts. that part sucks the most—when he acts like he didn’t tremble under your touch every time you kissed him. like he didn’t beg you to stay just five more minutes! before walking out the door to go home. he acts one way in front of you and one way in front of them and what’s worse ?? you don’t know which one is real. couldn’t tell even if your life was on the line to decide. because there’s no way he’s that good at pretending to be desperately in love, no fucking way. but there’s also no way he can be in love if he’s talking about you like that. that’s not what love is—that’s not what love feels like. that’s not what it means to someone.

you don’t know which satoru is the real one, but you know that neither is worth your time. not if he can’t stick to it.

it’s terrible thing—the way you break up. it’s messy and teary and he’s begging, he’s actually begging. he never thought he’d do that. but he doesn’t even hesitate to plead for you to hear him out. baby, please let me explain. wait, please don’t walk away—please just listen! i can explain.

he can’t explain, though when you as him to. stands there with a bitten bottom lip and teary eyes that are pleading you to just stay with him. to overlook this and just … ignore it like it’s nothing. like what he did and said was just nothing and you can shrug it off like you’re nothing too. like your feelings are nothing and so is your worth and that’s why you should just ignore the way he absolutely destroyed your pride and reputation and dignity and worse….every ounce of your love.

such deep, raw, pure love—it’s almost enough to heal every dry crack and crevice of this earth and bring it back to life.

you look at him with teary eyes and something so broken, it makes him feel like dirt beneath your feet.

“it’s embarrassing, satoru,” you hiss that night through tears, “you’re in your twenties getting a degree and you’re still just a high school bully. life’s really gonna kick you in the ass some day.”

life’s already kicking him in the ass as soon as you walk out. the air is colder. the world is dimmer. food doesn’t taste as good and fuck—there is just so much loneliness when you have no one to be yourself with. when there’s no you.

but he supposes you’re right though—he is just a bully. it’s pathetic, really. and maybe it’s for the best. maybe you don’t deserve someone who’s only ever known how to feel good because someone else doesn’t.

Thinking about how you compared EJ and Johnny in some posts and about how unfair it is that while EJ did less wrong things, his treatment was 10x worse than Johnny's

yeah you're right, i didn't even think of that

i mean i don't believe that every character should get the exact fate that their good/bad actions entail, that's not necessarily good storytelling. ej deserved better not because i liked him, but because his struggles were a focus until they just left it at "he's sad. anyways--" yk?

when you think about it, you have:

the worst thing that ej ever did (imho): stealing nini's phone to look through. which he immediately realized was wrong and tried to do the right thing. also little things to corrupt the show/get the role but for the most part he did just normal teenaged asshole stuff

the worst thing johnny ever did (in tkk, again in my opinion even though there's a lot of shit to riffle through): push daniel off a cliff on his bike, which could have potentially broken his bones. also forcing a kiss on ali.

how ej's character got treated: his gf had eyes for ricky and broke up with him because of it. twice. he had no support system after directing the show. his emotionally abusive father refused to listen to his son ask for bare minimum acknowledgement. in the end he's just sad because the show's footage makes it look like gina had the hots for ricky the entire summer (though i'm confident that's not true, but that's another post)

how johnny's character got treated (in tkk): at the very end, we see a potential sympathetic side to him, he's shown in giving the trophy to daniel that maybe he's not that bad of a guy

how johnny's character got treated (in ck): man you thought was kind of a teenaged asshole turns out to be The Worst. he does even worse things and gets forgiven for them constantly, no questions asked

i dunno. i don't mean for this answer to be a "johnny sucks and ej doesn't" response, bc i'm sure that's not what you meant. both characters are my blorbos. but it is unfair when a writer's bias towards a character leads to them getting a better/worse treatment by the narrative in either direction, because that's just not good storytelling.

Bestie, I do hate Steve A LOT. But your drabbles did this to be honest - they made us go weak for him and Omega cause hes so sweet in them. All the "Steve and Omega are endgame" - I kinda support them?

I mean, Steve is an asshole - no doubt. But yk he has feelings for Omega and Omega ....... loves him? Or was forced in to it. But you just said that she likes him and tries to please him. So idk, I Def want them to end up together. And no way is Steve gonna leave Omega or let her leave after knowing she is pregnant. Def not.

Just my thoughts.

Akdjsjsjaka is he really that sweet in the drabbles tho??! Or have I somehow gaslighted you guys to think that’s him being sweet when that’s just him doing the bare minimum whilst still being controlling?? 😩😩😩

But true! I can’t imagine Steve ever letting omega leave him! Especially if he finds out she’s pregnant… but will he ever find out she’s pregnant??? 🤔🤔🤔😈😈

i just hate that your anons and you are criticizing Taylor for her political stance. I mean other A list singers like Adele, Katy and Ari do absolutely nothing. If it turns out these people could be racists, homophobes and whatnot and you don’t even know. It’s not perfect but at least she tries.

Are you literally fucking illiterate and stupid or are you just SO FAR UP HER ASSHOLE you’ve lost the ability to read like because the poop has covered your eyes?

We criticize all people because NOBODY IS PERFECT and Ari has been loudly Dem and backed Bernie. Hard. Ari’s issue is she blackfishes but everyone knows her politics lmao like that hasn’t ever been debatable. Katy has also been loudly fucking Dem for years she was going door to door for Hilary. Adele has been openly Labour and done shit like dedicate her concerts to the victims of the Orlando shooting. And yk what? Bare minimum but they’re all RICH ASS POP STARS who CARES like that’s all they SHOULD be doing?

The DIFFERENCE is neither Ari, nor Adele, nor Katy are making movies about their activism. Not ONE of them - and Ari and Katy aren’t even straight - have announced they’re the universe’s gift to gay people and that “our pride” is gonna be shared in MVs about gays they make with straight white men. Those three are just LIVING THEIR LIFE.

And if that’s all Taylor did her politics - if she just lived her life - her politics would genuinely be better than most celebs’. But she OVERHYPES herself and what ends up happening is she looks like a fucking dumbass. The problem is things like YNTCD, The Man, Miss Americana and The Squad feminism shouldn’t have fucking happened. It’s not better to do something if you fuck it up than to just be like “of course I support this” like that’s MUCH better.

i agree to the prev ask! I also want to say oto!jk is the best, everything abt it is the bestttt! idk its just the way how their relationship is so complicated yet comforting, I love the way that they are a business but without extreme toxicity, like we know jk never experienced dating but he isn’t an asshole yk what I mean? he is quite a perv but not to the point that makes me uncomfy as a woman reading it (ik its bare minimum but yeah u get it) oc is a brat and stubborn yet so thoughtful and caring… I also want to gush abt the time where jk and oc was like “yeah let’s have a bed day” im living for ittt domestic typa shiii, also I noticed how they are uncertain abt the other person’s feelings and that they could end up having a broken heart but they didn’t intently hurt e/o just to push them away??? does that make sense, idk it’s playful yet mature… I am rooting for the both of them, and I wish oto!jk all the best <333 go get ur girllllllllll

Can I print off this ask and put it on my desk pls? This is sooooo nice omg what a wonderful message! Thank you, really! I’m really glad that those vibes are coming off because I’m really trying to create a good relationship with inherently good characters! I think writing fics sometimes I can get carried away and make every character have a trauma or be a toxic asshole so I’m actually so relieved you’ve picked up on the fact they’re just two good ppl doing dirty things to each other (Just remember bad things happen to good people tho whoops spoilers) this has really cheered me up I was feeling a bit shit about this fic so this has given me a lot of confidence back. Thank you so so much angel have a fantastic day xxxx
