heterophobicdyke/727058214627213312/ heterophobic did very much go on a weird rant about how she thinks the majority of the population is bi in response to "why bis are the biggest homophobes". You also even reacted to her saying that bisexuals don't face "core" homophobia yourself so idk why you say that's a lie. Maybe she didn't say all the things that anon said directly but where the hell are the implications of both those statements supposed to go then. If bisexuals categorically dont experience core homophobia of course you're saying all their abuse is non-core homophobia. if you're saying bisexuals are the majority in response to that question how are you not blaming homophobia on bisexuals.

piqued definitely reblogged a post that called bi women dick worshipers, that they were identical to TIMs, and that their "abuse" was a pretext to weaponize against lesbians. Then she threw a tantrum saying bis weren't allowed to get mad at her for endorsing and praising that post because she already said she didn't "fully agree with all of it", that it was "frustrating" for bisexuals to "zero in" on those things, and that the lesbophobia she was addressing was the only thing that mattered because death of the author or some shit. It all boils down to she thinks she's within her rights to throw the abuse of bi women in their faces if SHE decides its worth it, and us #triggered victims need to stfu. I can't even link all this shit because it was like a dozen posts but what is the point of calling this a lie when she admits it she just doesn't thinks what she did is at all bad or insensitive. some of the other things about her, like her reaction the blackpills and saying they need compassion, are also true, but she did apologize and clarify more.

the kronkk one is the only one that I think is kind of twisted. Someone else posted that radfem tumblr biphobia was bad, and kronkk said it wasn't prominent. so they showed her various posts from blackpills, and she said they were not radfems so it doesn't count even if they're in "radblr" and that radfem/radblr are different things. then she got some annoying anons and made that "anyway I love mean lesbians" post as a frustrated response and deleted it within the hour or less. I don't think kronkk meant it as direct support for the blackpills, but considering it was directly responding to that topic I think its very understandable lots of people understood it that way and took that badly, lesbians too, and she herself must have known otherwise she would not have deleted it. I mean take it all with a grain of salt since im on anon but idk how you can definitively say kronkk never did this either.

first of all i think i remember what ur referencing with piqued and i’m pretty sure that’s not what happened lol. she got an anon venting about homophobia that had a line somewhere that expressed prejudice against bisexuals. she didn’t remark on that line and empathised with the anon on her vent about experiencing homophobia. the biphobia truthers collectively called her out for not acknowledging that sentence and she literally ended up apologising within like. one reblog. so again, it was not the way you presented it in ur ask.

second of all ur admitting to intentionally misconstruing and twisting kronkk’s words. so now we have established you have lied about two lesbians, how biphobic of me to say so tho, i guess. instead i should clap and agree that lesbians r awful bc u twisted their words or sth, my bad.

then third, let us compare heterophobicdyke’s words to what u claimed she said:

not once did she call heterosexuals “a sexual minority” here. she believes that most ppl are bisexual, which frankly isn’t somehow out there as a belief.. many ppl believe this and a lot of bisexuals will argue that everyone is “a little bi”. she didn’t even argue “homophobia is the fault of bisexuals” but is clearly exclusively talking about ppl viewing homosexuality as a preference/choice and theorises that this viewpoint that it is probably comes from THEM personally choosing heterosexuality & assuming others must also be choosing to act exclusively towards one sex or both sexes. and i’ve also experienced many “heterosexuals” confiding in me and expressing some level of attraction, albeit often quite minor, to the same sex too.

you claim she said that bisexuals do not “experience core homophobia”, whatever that means, when in reality she said (at least this is what i recall reblogging & agreeing with) bisexuals do not experience the homophobia gay ppl do. meaning, u do not experience persecution for being exclusively same sex attracted, or for not being attracted to the opposite sex. i don’t think it’s somehow evil to point out we face homophobia differently. nowhere did she argue that bisexuals being raped and abused is “some het bullshit that doesn’t have to do with real homophobia”

it’s one thing to criticise the people actually saying what you claim but you specifically misconstrued several lesbians (& 1 bi woman) and demonised them and twisted their words, put words in their mouths, & then on top of it when i said to u that u are misconstruing them u went and sent my post to other bloggers, i guess to incite harassment against me? it’s disturbing bc u don’t even NEED to be inventing shit. there’s plenty of people actually saying awful things about bisexuals. but u made sure to name and misconstrue some of the most prominent lesbians on here bc they ?? said blackpillers aren’t radfems??? and that they think most ppl are bi (a belief most bis i’ve met will actually reiterate and use to argue homosexuality isn’t real ??) ??

#and ofc u said nothing about homophobic hets. every so-called biphobe u named was a lesbian & 2 were bisexual women.

Yaaaaay conversation hour! What's Ivy like when she argues with each of the boys and what's it usually about?

oh this is a good one !! olivia is one stubborn woman ! she will stand her ground. even if she realizes she's wrong. no she's not.

hongjoong, it's usually music involved. usually its like hongjoong keeps making her sing the same line over and over again and she gets so frustrated by it that it starts an argument. she always pulls the "if you want it done that way you do it then" and then everyone else sits the like 🧍‍♀️ because if the intervene someone yells at them.

seonghwa and ivy dont argue a lot, if they do it's usually because he's telling ivy something she doesn't want to hear. for instance before ivy and mingi got together he was pushing her to talk to him about it, and it got to a blowing point. you'll see that later tho ;)

yunho, usually over dance. when they get together they're an unstoppable duo, until they get o the specifics of a dance. yunho will usually tell ivy she's doing a move wrong, ivy tells him to stfu because she right and he's wrong. usually neither of them are right or both of them are and its a mix of both moves. so

yeosang and ivy also hardly ever argue. the last time they argued was over a board game, and it ended with them having to hold hands all day (hongjoongs idea)

san and ivy also don't argue too much, but it happens every now and then. ivy actually gets emotional when her and san argue because he raises his voice and is just terrifying when he's mad. and because of her ✨trauma✨ she cries when people raise their voices and then san usually feels horrible.

mingi. oh gosh. i mean they surely fight like a married couple sometimes. she also gets kind of emotional when they argue because, it's just sad when you argue with someone you love so much. their longest fight lasted 3 days. and that will be written about soon enough. but mingi (to me) seems like a guy that stand his ground and doesn't really just let things go. both of their number one goals is to make things better, not worse. and they always grow after each fight, but it's always so hard to watch.

wooyoung, if you don't know already, woo and livvy used to HATE each other. no one really knows why, other than the fact that wooyoung thought having a girl in the group would ruin them. and hell, maybe that's the only reason. so when they argued back then, ivy kind of turned into a raging bitch (her words, not mine. except they are) she did not care. of course neither of them would ever go too far, but sometimes they said too much. and now when they argue, they both get emotional because they're scared they'll go back to their old ways. (if you want more on this topic lmk yall)

jongho and ivy try not to argue, jongho is one of the guys ivy goes to when she is arguing with someone. so he's there to protect her really. but sometimes, he gets a little too overprotective, and it pisses ivy offfff. she always reminds him that she isn't a little fragile girl. and jongho usually feels bad but he reminds her that he always wants to keep her safe.

#these are long.#if yall want more details/examples i can always write a scenario #anonnie #thank you anon !!1 #i loved this ask #ask answered

it took me so long to realize that people really invest their identity in some of their views, and its not easy to tell which until youve already hurt their feelings. And sometimes they dont even know when something is personal to them.

Ive had situations where ive had to sit back and breathe slowly for a while because i hadnt realized that something wed been discussing was personal.

on the flip side, for some people, argumentation/debate is how they form opinions or learn things. I have a close friend, who, when she doesnt have a preexisting opinion on something, stakes out a random position and picks a fight with me about it. Then, like 24-48 hrs later she gets back to me with a much more sane and nuanced opinion. maybe she spent too much time on 4chan as a teen, but thats just how she is now.

meanwhile, i have another friend who will doggedly argue the same point over and over again and not understand why people get frustrated with the way he doesnt even acknowledge counterarguments. then, next time we talk about it, hell have changed like, one teensy thing and refuse to acknowledge that you made that point to him the last time. It frustrates the hell out of the first friend. She gets so mad i literally had to bribe her to stop talking with friend 2 on facebook, because it was just really toxic. they can argue face-to-face just fine, but online they both go crazy. I just roll my eyes and take the small victories where I can. I continue being both of their friends because theyre both better arguers than my family (who inevitably go for the eyes at the first opportunity) theyre excellent people aside from the arguing, and because sometimes i genuinely learn something from our arguments.

....plus im pretty good at distracting both of them with their hyperfixations when i need an escape valve.

Basically, if you dont like arguing about silly things, thats fine. Let people who try know that, and if they dont back off, shut down the conversation.

If you dont like arguing about serious things, thats valid and understandable. If someone is trying to pick a fight with you about it, try asking them questions without giving away how you think. its a surprisingly effective deescalation tactic.

feel free to block or leave people when you need to.

If you like arguing about silly things, thats great fun for some people but can be daunting, scary, or just plain irritating for others. Someone who doesnt want to engage with a silly argument is either just going to get hurt or hurt you if you pursue it.

If you like arguing about serious things. some suggestions.

1) write a paper about it.

2) run for office on it.

3) find a politics or philosophy club. (Or just join the IWW)

Do N O T try to force people to engage. You WILL hurt them, and they may hurt you worse in response. It is okay for people not to want to talk with you about something. That doesnt mean they dont care, just that the time, place, method, or audience is wrong, or that they dont want to discuss it with you specifically. This is not a personal attack, they are not rejecting you as a person (rejection sensitive dysphoria sucks, look it up). Just take a deep breath and let it go.

And if you really feel that talking about it is important.

Start asking questions. Genuine ones, not leading or probing ones. Let them dictate the pace. You need to draw them into the conversation, not force it on them. Forcing someone into a rhetorical or conversational corner may make you feel powerful or in control, but it is counterproductive on every other level.

...didnt mean this to turn into a ted talk. I should get back to work haha.

The reason people dont like genshin isnt because of story despite how much its talked about. Thats because the story is only talked about by players who have already decided they will keep playing.

People who tried the game and decided to leave usually stop because they hate the gacha system/rage quit when they didnt get a character they wanted, grinding for materials and artifacts, their world got to difficult for them to keep up with, and their moral dilemma of playing a game that does things they disagree with.

1st reason cannot be helped. Some people just need to change their mindset about things and something else ill say for reason 4

2nd reason is valid HOWEVER you do not need to level your characters all the way to max to be able to get through the story. There is a minimum yes but you dont need to max your characters

And that all ties in with reason 3, YOU DONT NEED TO KEEP ADVANCING YOUR WORLD LEVEL. IF YOU WANT TO YOU SHOULD MAX YOUR CHARACTERS TO THEIR CURRENT LIMIT AT THE LOWER LEVELS AND DO THIS FOR EVERY WORLD LEVEL. This way you arent struggleing for 20 mins trying to fucking fight the oceanid with your low lvl characters with shit talents (happened to me) in general your gaming experience goes alot smoother if you take your timelvling your characters AND WORLD LVL which is optional after a certain point but even before then you dont have to rush archon quests.

And lastly for reason 4, you do not have to agree with the buisness practices of mihoyo/hoyoverse to like the game. You do not need to spend money on genshin to enjoy the game. And you dont have to agree with how they handle content in the game to like the game in general. Alot of people got really mad with how they handled the skin tones of the people from sumeru

It was mostly americans

But you still have to keep in mind this is a game company in china. They had to perma change some characters outfits for CN players because of chinese laws. China is also their main and largest userbase. They will cater towards what the majority want. This goes for everything not just skin colors. Is this right? In america, no. But personally I don't speak about what's right and wrong for other countries. What's okay here isn't okay elsewhere and sometimes you have to respect that decision even if you don't personally agree with it.

Ultimately its your own decision to leave the game for these reasons, but to say its trash is unreasonable. Genshin on its own is a good game. Its a high quality game for free. The characters you want arent unobtainable. None of them are payment locked it just means youll have to be patient if you dont want to spend money.

Grinding mats and artifacts actually isnt that hard it just gets boring and repetitive if you do it alone. But if your patient with lvling it shouldn't be hard to get through

These are the real reasons people stop playing and honestly no point in arguing with them because obviously this isnt the kind of game they would be interested in in the first place if they are struggling.

You bring a lot of good points to the table but many people I know who stopped playing Genshin was actually because the story was getting boring. A close friend of mine hasn't even played past AR15 because she found the tutorial quests to be boring af. My bf is stuck in Inazuma rn because the story can drag a bit there. Inazuma was my least favorite as well. That's what my post was originally about.

I'm also semi f2p aka I only pay for the battle pass occasionally and the welkin moon. Sometimes not getting a character after man pulls can be frustrating but I also love the gacha mechanic

Tbh mihoyo lost that "We're just a little ol company in china and the laws say we can't have any black people in our games" when they literally made a playable Honkai character black. It's not that they can't. They just didn't want to.

I've been playing at word level 6 for a while cuz I don't make enough damage. (I hate grinding alone) It really hasn't bothered me that much when it comes to general gameplay but it does come to bite you in the butt when doing for example certain events or the abyss sometimes

Syscourse on this website is so fucking stupid but I can't look away, its entertaining as much as it is frustrating.

Yall are so fucking stupid, anyone can talk shit about anyone, anyone can say whatever they want, talk shit get hit, whatever.

Its not a "boundary" for others to talk freely, if you don't want to associate with people then dont. Block them. Move on. Stop flinging hatred to others.

And anyway someone blocking you isn't you winning an argument.

If you get blocked its more likely it's because you're annoying or a pest or keep saying the same shit over and over and expecting people yo just give up and say "you were right all along, I renounce my personal expereinces to you, oh wise tumblr user who is an expert on everything life has to offer! Woe was I to ever beleive I could possibly have an opinion or life expereince different from anyone else, I had forgotten we all must suffer in exactly the same ways!"

Yall REFUSE to take your safety and health into your OWN HANDS and use the fucking block button and live comfortably in your little circle jerk bubbles and then COMPLAIN about it. Shut the fuck up whiney little kids.

One day when you grow up you're gonna realize none of this fucking matters. You'll get the care you need if you fight for it and it's not fucking endos online or even genuine fakers using up ""resources"" (guys fakers don't go to the doctor, duh, no I'm not arguing that bc even if they do they don't last long OR if they do then they have something ELSE seriously wrong they need treatment for, ppl don't just pay thousands of dollars for FUNSIES omg.)

It's not them, its the prohibitive nature of healthcare systems around the world who don't give a shit about you as far as your wallet goes.

Why don't you focus your fight on the actual target, the ableist and restrictive nature of much of healthcare around the world. What ever happened to mad pride? Why are yall fighting your siblings like this? It's stupid.

Here I'll help you out, go from here, learn a little.

Go outside make friends who aren't entrenched in online discourse and life your fucking life. Touch grass. Choose better battles and stop wasting your time making your PEERS lives miserable for no other reason than you need to feel good about yourself.

We can help each other if we dont just keep tearing each other down for no reason.

No instead yall just bitch and complain and whine and ATTACK OTHERS over stupid shit like wether or not someone can use an anime character's name if they introjected said anime character. Or the mere existence of people different than you. Fucking inane behaviour. Get a better hobby for fucking real.

I stick my head in from time to time because I think it's funny to see a bunch of kids whine about things that they can step away from at any moment. Except it makes me sad to see yall waste your time making dedicated syscourse blogs and other dumb bullshit youre wasting your time on. You're not changing minds, you're fighting for grains of rice on the dirt floor.

And yes actually you CAN step away from the internet at any moment and do something else with your life. Even if you're chronically bedridden, read a book, write a story, draw a picture, watch some movies, play with dolls, whatever, just take a fucking break.

I'm turning off reblogs and blocking anyone who screenshots this to argue**. Seriously, get a better hobby. Live your damn life. The opinion of a STRANGER ONLINE shouldn't make you shake and get so heated that you can't think of anything else. L

You WOULD feed the trolls and you do.

(**with one exception, if you want to agrue about the prohibitive costs of health care and provide resources that dont cost thousands, because it would actually help people)

#for the sake of honesty i will “sign off” on this #i am a member of the system who has posted here before #im not gonna act like im someone different so i can get out of jail free by claiming to be a new alter or whatever #some of you need to learn about collective responsibility and fuck off

I would love a breakdown of how it does affect us then. Because I am also with the people who vehemently hate commercials and will actively avoid using products advertised. I am tired of feeling this way and being told it's the opposite, I'm frustrated actually.

These are my honest feelings and I mean no harm to OP or the commenters. I need more than just, "you are affected" though, from a personal, emotional standpoint and as an evidence standpoint.

I don't think I'm the specialist person out there nor do I believe I am immune to propaganda, that isn't what I'm saying at least not intentionally. I need evidence why and HOW I'm not immune though, because these conversations make me feel helpless and like I'm going insane.

If my absolute disdain or my lack of any feeling at all towards a product or brand doesn't make a difference and somehow is exactly what the companies want I really need that spelled out for me man.

The only thing I know is that ads ARE effective when introducing a new product or idea to people where the company needs people to know. But this will only affect the target audience!!! The audience that was only ever going to want the new thing in the first place and that the company wanted. And I guess what I'm saying from a, "commercials don't affect me" point of view is that my target for my attention and money is so incredibly small and nigh I'd argue useless that...for a majority of advertisements yes they dont work on me.

The other thing I can think of working on people who aren't interested in the ad is that it may generate conversation. I had a perfect example of this last night with a TikTok commercial that keeps coming up. It solidified my absolute hatred and refusal to use the app but I was so mad about it I made 2 posts about it. I am acting to lengthen and spread the advertisement's lifetime and reach. I can understand that too.

I don't think ads work on me MOSTLY, I'd argue because I'm poor, but I want to be able to say it's also because I'm putting effort into enjoying what I have and taking a slower pace of life. I'm putting the effort into not buying things and getting creative with the things I do have.

I know that packaging and branding get me, I know that I will choose a toothpaste that fights cavities over whitening teeth. I know that if a commercial advertised something I was actually into I might look it up or even go buy one. And maybe this is a communication issue where I and others aren't stating exactly what we mean. Advertising doesn't advertise things we're into frequently enough or at all that, for the ads we have seen, no they don't work on us because we aren't the target audience.

I don't know what else, from the extent I've mulled things over and the time I've spent contemplating this, that's all I can think of. Is it truly just an issue of "I am immune to propaganda" that bothers people into saying, "you are not immune to propaganda" though? Or is there more??? This response with no further elaboration makes me feel a little disrespected and frustrated.

Edit: After reading the comments, which are kind of driving me insane, is that my argument is for me being unprofitable for advertisements. Which is my understanding of the whole point of ads, which makes me feel like I am immune to them. I am not buying name brand item because it was advertised to me, I may never buy the name brand anything actually. I may buy the item that's from a different brand or I may not buy that item at all ever.

Using an example in the comments, I don't understand how pizzahut advertising pizza to me and me buying a frozen pizza at safeway is related in any way shape or form. It's unprofitable for pizzahut at that point unless the argument is now "big pizza" has "its" hands in everything and just wants me to buy pizza. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Yes pizza is on my brain but pizzahut isn't, did "big pizza" pay for pizzahuts advertisement??? No.

Does seeing the pizzahut commercial make me think "man pizza sounds good haven't had that in awhile" yeah absolutely do I act on that? No or yes but it isn't for pizzahut and often times it isn't even acted on at all. Maybe I will talk to someone about pizzahut because of it and they go buy pizzahut.

Yeah ok sure, indirectly caused profit for pizzahut. Or maybe I don't talk about it at all except in this Tumblr post. And pizzahut died in obscurity in my head forever or I buy a pizzahut 5 years from now. One purchase every 5 years doesn't make a business profitable.

I just need more, I need more information than just "you are not immune to propaganda" and for now I will stop saying I am "immune" and give a little more nuance. My tone in this edited part is absolutely more frustrated and maybe harsher so I do apologize for that. I'm losing it at the arguments in the comments and the more I talk about this the more agitated I feel so I will leave it at this.

You are not immune to ads. Ads are not becoming ineffective due to oversaturation or savvy young people or whatever. Billions of dollars are poured into market research and analytics every year, corporations would know if ads were a waste of money way way before a tiktok comment section and stop spending money on them

By believing yourself to be "too smart" to be affected by advertising you're only making yourself far less mindful of and more susceptible to it. The ads you're exposed to poison your mind - be aware of that so you can combat it, and try to be exposed to as few as possible

#words #i hope I phrased everything to mean well #because i dont want to be mean or rude to everyone on this post #i just want to know and have a more productive conversation #i know its nuanced and saying never and always is too black and white #it just feels dismissive to me :(#and i know people dont mean it rudely or meanly #but it does come off that way to me #without elaboration #long post #long reply #teeth #dentistry

COOK YOUR WAY INTO THEIR HEARTS!

summary: Mariana, a young girl coming from a famed family of cooks isn't as blessed with the skills of the knife compared to her kin. Frustrated as she also loves food and cooking as much as them, she decides to go on a journey to learn how to cook from her family members.

warnings: none! just a 'lil breakdown but all good :] not proof read

notes: hii, so this is set in spain and im filipino who knows 0 abt spain so plz forgive me if there is wrong things, its all google translated and i wrote this 4 school a while back so dont judge kakaka, just for fun and want an outlet for my works to share to the world

The sun is just beginning to rise along the shores of Cadaques. Located in the heart of the small town is a family restaurant called “Flor de Iluvia” meaning rain flower. Even this early in the morning, many people are lining up outside waiting for a chance to have a seat. It hasn’t even opened but a long queue has formed outside the door and it caused quite a noise. Many people know that Flor de Iluvia is a busy restaurant and is always filled any time of the time but the food is just too good, you just keep coming back.

Since it's a family-owned restaurant, the family members will be the cooks and the ones running it. Tio Carlos is known for his good looks along with his Hummus, Tia Valentina with her sweet character with her rich Spanish hot chocolate that will surely provide you comfort in the rainy season, Papa Hernando with his simple yet intense Patatas Bravas that's a favorite among the dad’s and tio’s since its best paired with beer, Mama Camila with her homey Huevos Rancheros, The cousin pair: Gabriela and Antonio with their specialty of albondigas that everyone of all ages enjoys, Abuela Romana and the crowd's favorite, her Paella that started it all, and many more talented chefs under the Rodriguez surname.

And there is Mariana, the girl whose specialty is cleaning. It is clear she is the odd one out of the family since she wasn’t gifted the special skills the rest of her kin have when it comes to cooking so she makes up for it with her cleaning and decorating skills.

The winter season is beginning and the temperature starts dropping. Even if you are greeted by the warm sun, the air will just make you feel weird. This is what Mariana feels every day, she already has much on her plate with the worry that she will never get the chance to cook with her family members do her school work, and do other things. She wakes up around 5 AM which is still relatively early for her, to hear that the kitchen is already filled and operating due to the loud voices of her family members nearly screaming at each other. She groans and lazily gets up from bed trying to fight away the urge to fall asleep. She gets up, puts on her slippers, and heads out of her room to check what's downstairs. She sees that several people are waiting outside even if the temperature is like 9 degrees and turns her head to the kitchen to see her papa and Tio arguing.

“Ay Dios Mio Hernando! Have you seen the people waiting outside for the restaurant to open and get their orders while you push back the opening time just because you had a hangover?” Tio Carlos shouts at Papa Hernando, “I’m sorry hermano but have you forgotten that I’m the manager of this place, can’t you see you are just pushing the opening time more because you just keep blaming me and you should start cooking” He retorted. The argument got cut off when Gabriela asked her dad, Tio Carlos to just not mind Papa Hernando and to start working on the orders.

Mariana walked up to the counter of the kitchen and asked what's going on and Camila, her cousin, responded that Papa Hernando went out drinking last night and woke up late with a headache so Tio Carlos got mad at him, and boom that happened. Mariana just laughed since it was a funny situation, to begin with, and she had this thought in her head, what if she asked Camila if she can help out because they are in a situation but Camila said “I know that look in your face Mariana, you want to help out don’t you” and Mariana just nodded in response then Camila followed “As much as we appreciate your help, we need to rush things and can’t afford any failures but next time, when you become a better cook”. After hearing that, she just sighed in defeat, laughed it off then headed to her room.

She went up the stairs frantically and shut the door to her room as soon as she arrived. She was bothered by the comment that Camila made but decided to brush it off and got ready to go to school. She showered, put on her uniform, went down to grab something to eat on the way, and waved goodbye. On her way to school, she was still bothered by the comment and overthinked it the whole day. The comment kept her thinking, what did Camila mean by “can’t afford any failures” and kept thinking if she was referring to herself as the failure. It affected her all day and dampened her mood which caused her to keep on sighing and acting all dramatic.

After a long day of school, she arrived home and when she opened the door with a smile on her face, it instantly turned to a frown when she saw Camila. She was reminded again about the conversation this morning and ran to her room. She dropped her bag and changed into her house clothes in a hurry since she felt this sudden surge of emotion and started breaking down. She felt like a disappointment and a failure like what Camila said, why couldn’t she be like her family members? She kept beating herself up and she turned to her side and saw herself in the mirror. Mariana thought to herself that she looks funny and shouldn’t be crying over something so simple. It still pained her but she knew she had to do something about her problem instead of crying about it. She got on her phone and started scrolling through recipes on how to make simple meals and tips on cooking. She took note of this and was determined to prove her family wrong.

It’s a Saturday today and Mariana woke up to her eyes being puffy from last night. She was in a good mood because she told herself that today is the start of her epic journey of learning how to cook. She went down after brushing her teeth to see that they were just preparing breakfast. Flor de Iluvia opens later than usual on Saturdays and Sundays so the Rodriguez family could have some family time.

Mariana's mom, Mama Gabriela looked at Mariana and ran over to her, while cupping her face she said in worry “Mija, why are your eyes so puffy? Did anything happen last night?” and Mariana just held on to her mother's hand and reassured her it was for a simple reason “But in fact mama, you can help me with my problem! Can you teach me how to cook?” Mama Gabriela had a smile on her face and hugged her daughter “Of course I can, anything for you! Tonight I will teach you so come sit first and eat!”. After Mama Gabriela said that, she sat down and started eating with her family.

The day went on pretty well because if you may have guessed it, Mariana was looking forward to cooking with her Mama. Mama Camila is known for her soft and endearing nature that will always make you feel at peace and Mariana was blessed to have such a mother who was like that and who cooks like heaven was brought to your mouth. She was pretty much excited because the last time she tried cooking, she burnt an egg. All she did for the afternoon was lounge around her room and go room to room to bother her relatives.

“Mariana, Get out of my room! You know I’m doing something important!” Antonio, her cousin said as he threw pillows at her. “What do you mean important? It’s clear you were playing again” Mariana said as she leaned against the doorframe while crossing her arms. She then entered the room and lay down on his bed. “Boy, I’m so bored right now, the fun only happens tonight” Mariana complains and Antonio turns around quickly and raises an eyebrow “What do you mean fun only happens tonight???? WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE” He screams while he stands up, “Relax Antonio, I don’t mean those things, My mom will teach me how to cook tonight! And I’m just so excited that anything else is not that exciting” Mariana explains. Antonio just pushes Mariana out and then shuts the door in front of her “Rude much” Mariana says.

The day continued without a pause and Mariana was bored out of her mind so when evening came, she decided to go out for a walk since the restaurant became busier and people started pouring in. The cold breeze hit her hair and danced along with it. Mariana shivers as she feels the wind while she stares out at the ocean. She closed her eyes and found peace with the sound of ocean waves and had this impulsive feeling. She ran to the shore of the ocean and pulled her pants a little above her shins and let the waves hit her feet. It was quite peaceful and slow-paced compared to the busy and noisy atmosphere she was used to. She remained in this motionless state for a while then sat down. Staring at the moon got her thinking what if she was as talented as her family members but she worked hard for it. She imagined all the praise she got when she opens her restaurant in the future and she makes a fist promising to herself that she will make that happen.

Closing time arrives and she rushes back to the restaurant. “Where have you been all night Mariana? We were worried sick about you!” Mama Camila exclaims while rushing to Mariana. “Ma, I was just out and nothing happened so don’t worry” She reassures her mother then Mama Camila pulls her by the hand gently to the kitchen, “Tonight, I’m going to teach you how to make my special Huevos Rancheros!” Mama Camila says then she starts getting the ingredients and things that will be used. “Mariana, can you start prepping or chopping what needs to be done so we can finish up early” Her mother ordered so Mariana got to work and started crushing the tomatoes and chopping the onions. After chopping up and prepping, Mama Camila is teaching her how to make the salsa, “U saute the onions in olive oil in medium heat then when its translucent, you add the tomatoes that you crushed and add the green chilies” Mama Camila instructed then Mariana followed but she added too much green chilies and accidentally burned them, “You can add any additional seasoning but don’t add too much as it might overpower the dish” Mama Camila reminded but Mariana decided to add her twist to it and added too much of spice chili powder.

Now the salsa is done and Mama Camila had this trick of warming the plate so she popped it in the oven just a little while that was heating. Mariana started preparing the tortillas and put them in a pan with oil to heat and while waiting, she started frying the eggs and forgot about the tortillas and they burned! While she was frying the eggs, she suddenly smelt something burning and asked her mother “Mama, do you smell anything burning?” Mama Camila panicked and said "Mariana the eggs!" then hurryingly went to the stove and turned off the heat. Mariana just stood there as the scene unfolded and took a mental note to herself to always be mindful of everything.

"Mija, go up and wash up. I'll finish things here" Mama Camila said so Mariana followed what her mother said and went up. Mariana didn't feel that sad about it because she at least got a chance to cook and learned something from her mom. She decided that when everyone is asleep, she will practice cooking the dish again.

That time of the night came and Mariana came out of her room quietly and tiptoed her way to the kitchen. Good thing she remembered the recipe and followed it without adding too much of something or anything that she only likes. It was finished and it tasted bad. It was burned and mild to her but she didn't lose hope and started again. This process was repeated many times until she got it to the taste that was okay but not really up to the restaurant's standards. She got tired and cleaned up then headed back to her room.

Days turned into weeks and Mariana spent most of her time helping in the restaurant with her usual cleaning and decorating but at night when everyone was asleep, she would try recreating the recipe that her mom taught her. It was one night when she was caught cooking by Tia Valentina. Tia Valentina laughed when she heard the reason why Mariana kept sneaking out of her room at night and why there was lots of noise coming from the kitchen. "I honestly thought there was a ghost in the kitchen but glad it was you! Anyways, I can help you with this journey of yours! I can help you make my simple hot chocolate" Tia Valentina offered and Mariana replied quickly with a nod.

Mariana was excited to learn to make something again and she was thrilled since it was something fairly easy. Tia Valentina offered to do it together since it would be easy to mimic the actions and Mariana agreed. They first used a saucepan, heated to medium heat, and poured the milk and cornstarch. Mariana was a little behind because she had a hard time understanding the medium heat but got it when Tia Valentina put the stove on medium heat. Tia Valentina got a whisk and handed it to Mariana and told her to whisk it until it starts to boil. In a matter of a few minutes, it started to boil and Tia Valentina took it out quickly but Mariana was confused and let it boil a bit until she took it out. They added chocolate and stir until it was fully melted. After they finished putting the chocolate and mixing it, they put it back on the stove and turned down the heat then stirred it constantly. They were done with the drink and Mariana was happy when it was finished.

They just added the finishing touches like whipped cream and drizzled caramel on top. Mariana was happy and started drinking right away. Tia Valentina just chuckled and drank along with Mariana. "I didn't know you had a knack for cooking, I wish I had taught you earlier," Tia Valentina remarked Mariana was happy hearing it but deep down she didn't want to tell Tia that her drink tasted a bit weird and knew that she let the milk boil some more. "Thank you Tia Valentia for teaching me!" Mariana said and Tia Valentina responded "No worries, I know that yours taste a bit weird so I hope next time, you follow instructions" And then she left.

Mariana kept making this drink every time she had guests over or if she wanted a rich drink. Every time she made it, she kept thinking something was lacking and wasn't satisfied with it. Time has passed and Mariana has never failed to come to the kitchen every night to practice her skills in cooking. She wanted to improve them drastically so she decided to ask Tio Carlos, a famous chef who has his dishes, on a special menu in the restaurant.

It was an afternoon when Mariana came home from school and saw Tio Carlos in the restaurant. "Tio Carlos! Are you back from your trip?" Mariana said while setting her bag down. "Hello Mariana, it's been a long time! You surely are big now. I just arrived earlier" Tio Carlos replied while entertaining some diners. "I also have a question or a request to make," Mariana asked and Tio Carlos hummed in response, "Would it be okay if you could teach me one of your recipes" Mariana continued and Tio Carlos agreed and told her to come to the kitchen at night.

Mariana was excited to learn from Tio Carlos and was down all afternoon to night helping around in the restaurant. When evening came, Mariana rushed to the kitchen and found there were still people cleaning up so she decided to help around to kill time.

It was around 9 PM when Mariana saw Tio Carlos. "Hello, Tio! I'm so excited to learn from you!" Mariana exclaimed and Tio Carlos chuckled "Calm down Mari, tonight we are going to let loose so don't be so uptight. I'm going to just teach you simple recipes". Mariana and Tio Carlos enjoyed themselves with the cooking because even if Tio Carlos was strict, Mariana got to pick up lots of tips. In the end, Mariana made his famous Hummus and was disappointed when it wasn't up to his standard and was just told to keep on practicing then left.

Mariana stood there for a few minutes then tears started dripping from her eyes. She didn't realize it but his words stuck to him and realized that she won't be like her family and felt anger building up in her. She threw all the things on the counter and made a mess. "Why am I a disappointment?" A plate fell, "How come I can't be like them?" Another thing went flying to the ground, "WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY AND ALWAYS LEFT OUT" and with that, she fell to her knees and cried. She kept it the whole time and invalidated her feelings thinking it was natural. All the pressure, sadness, and jealousy started crashing down. She remained on the floor for a while and kept repeating "What am I doing wrong" for a few minutes until she stopped and realized something. She shouldn't copy, mimic and be like her family members.

She had this realization that she kept on messing up because her taste isn't like her family members and kept on copying them and their recipes but added her touch that messed up the dish. She should be her person and chef and apply the skills she learned to create a dish that reflected her personality and matched her taste pallet.

She got herself together and cleaned up the mess she made, the broken plate and glass shards, wrappings on the floor, or spills made. She then sat down and started thinking about things that she would like in her dish like a dish that reminds you of home, something to be comforted by, a little spicy and easy to cook. Mariana came up with Spicy Spanish Prawns which was perfect for her because of the seafood that is often served since they live by the sea and the spicyness.

Mariana scrambled around the kitchen getting her ingredients like prawns, paprika, chili flakes, lemon juice, and more. She got a flying pan and placed it over low heat, she then added olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, and paprika. She let it sit for a couple of minutes so she decided to prep the prawns, she got a paper towel and dried the prawns then seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper. She turned the heat up and when it started to shimmer, she placed the prawns and tossed it around until it became opaque. After tossing and cooking it around, she turned off the heat and poured the lemon juice and sherry then stirred it. As a final touch, she added parsley and tasted it immediately. She felt proud of herself for once because she made it to her liking. All the flavors exploded in her mouth and savored them. She finished half of the dish and saved it for her family to taste the next day.

Morning came and she woke up early with a smile on her face and couldn’t stop thinking about last night. She went down the stairs and found most of her family members just talking about their plans for the holidays so she took this as an opportunity to serve her food. She took them out of the fridge and just heated them. When it was finished, she was scared of what they would say and disappointment, complaints, and disgust filled her head. As she walked to the table where they were sitting, she felt like she was walking to her death as a chef and part of the Rodriguez family.

“Oh Mija, what is this?” Abuela Romana asked and motioned her to sit down, “It’s just something I made after many sessions of teaching myself how to cook so I want you guys to try it” Mariana answered and she felt her heart beating as each one grabbed a spoonful and placed it in their mouth. “Oh wow! Did you make this? It’s pretty good” remarked Tio Carlos and many people nodded in agreement. Abuela Romana was the one who Mariana was worried about because her response is a make-and-break in her career as a chef but all her worries were eased when she said it was good enough and made a hint that she could start cooking and helping out in the kitchen. “It’s a good dish if we take into account that you’re just new to cooking so I look forward to seeing more of your dishes put on the table”. Mariana felt happy and jumped inside, she hugged her mom and thanked everyone who helped her.

It was an afternoon in Flor de Iluvia and the front of the restaurant was a bit empty because a certain girl isn’t cleaning and entertaining diners anymore. Mariana had found a spot in the kitchen as someone who fries and handles seafood. As she is cooking, she remembers all the hard times and jealousy she experienced but her hard work paid off. She certainly cooked her way into everyone's hearts.

hi could i request something? basically just HCS about langa and reki when you guy get into a fight or sum idk LMFAOO, you dont have to do this if you dont want to tho <3

➯ A/N: Thank you for the request! I hope you enjoy. I added a few characters, hope you don’t mind:)

➯ When you guys get into a fight

➯ Characters: Langa Hasegawa, Reki Kyan, Kaoru Sakurashiki, Kojiro Nanjou, Hiromi Higa and Miya Chinen x gn reader

➯ Warnings: angst if you squint, fluff

Langa:

Ok the majority of your fights are generally because of a miscommunication. If things aren’t spelled out for the poor boy, he’ll be completely oblivious to what’s bothering you

When you finally snap, he always seems shocked, asking why you hadn’t said anything sooner, even if you’d been trying to hint at it all week

Not really one to shout, but if things get heated enough he might snap. He always feels awful afterwards though. No matter what, he really believes no one should be screamed at because of something as silly as a disagreement

Rarely storms out, he’s always going to try and stay until the end to try and get something, anything out of you that he can use to try and understand your point of view

Understands space. He knows when you dont feel like talking to him, and he will give you that time to collect your thoughts. When you’re ready to speak again, he’s all ears

Gets overwhelmed really easy. It doesnt really show in what he says, but when you raise your voice his brain goes to putty and he can feel his breath get narrow. He’s not scared, he just doesn’t want to be the reason you’re feeling like this.

Never lets you go to bed angry. He’ll give you your space, but if you’re still quiet by bedtime he’s making sure you’ve eaten and you’re not still really upset by whatever played out that day

Overthinks a lot. How long did he not realise you were upset? What if its actually a much bigger deal than you’re letting on? What if you leave? Of course, he knows a lot of it is completely irrational, but it still lingers in the back of his mind, so you can imagine how relieved he is when the fight is over and you’re back in his arms

Asks people for advice a lot. Reki and Cherry are usual helpers, giving Langa their opinions on the matter without going into too much detail. The rest is up to him.

Gives the best hugs and comfort after a fight. He understands couples can fight, and never really takes the aggression let out by the pair of you too seriously. Rubbing the back of your head and holding you close to his chest, he’ll reassure you that he’s not going anywhere, that he’s not going to leave “just because of a silly fight” while you fight back tears on his shoulder.

Reki

Unlike Langa, Reki is a very open person in terms of his feelings, so your fights are rarely because of closed away emotions. However, many are caused by you feeling he is spending too much time in his workshop, overworking himself and not spending as much time with you as he should.

As for Reki, he gets mad when he feels you’re being closed off from him, not telling him things and hiding your true emotions. It’s not that he doesnt trust you, he just doesnt want you shouldering anything by yourself, and tries to make things easier for you by halving the problem.

A very emotional person, and this really shows when the two of you argue. There’s a lot of tears, a lot of raised voices, yknow those exhausted laughs when you’re tired of arguing with someone? Those. He pulls at his hair a lot in frustration too

Both of you need to walk away from each other a lot during arguments. You’re both driven by your emotions, so its hard to think logically once you’ve both gotten really upset.

The type to sit outside a door after an argument if you’ve locked yourself in a room, pressing against it and quietly talking to you, regardless of whether or not he gets a response

Understands space, to a certain extent. He’ll try and talk to you after an argument, try anything to get you to just answer him, to come out from your room, to stop ignoring him. He knows when you really don’t want to face him though, which is when he’ll go out for a while, either to Langa’s for advice, or just for a quiet skate.

Despite how upset he gets in the moment, he gets over it quickly. Once he’s out of his head and seeing properly, he’ll take some time to think it over and see things from your point of view. He’ll come back to you with an apology, and when you’re ready to talk, he’ll discuss things with you this time around instead of fighting

If the fight lasts overnight, he refuses to let you take the couch. If he feels a fight will last, he’ll glue himself to the couch, making it impossible for you to sleep anywhere other than your bed. No matter what the fight was about, he refuses to have you sleep uncomfortably.

Tends to cry after making up. It’s rarely out of sadness, of course, more relief than anything. He’s just happy to have you back in his arms, no longer ignoring him.

Cherry

A very rational person, fights are very rare between the pair of you. When you do fight, it tends to be because you feel he’s being closed off from you, not being as open and emotional with you. As for him, he doesnt like when you act too aloof about things that are actually serious to him

Fights start out quiet, talking in normal tones and using your heads. However, as the fight goes on, your voices gradually get higher and louder, arms thrown in the air as you get in each other’s faces.

He snaps quite a bit. Petty remarks, snappy replies and other unnecessary comments are thrown out without much thought as he gets more pissed off. Not necessarily because he doesn’t have anything to defend himself, but because once he’s started, he’ll do just about anything to piss you off

Depending on the fight, it could last an hour or a week. Both of you are so petty that you’ll refuse to apologise to the other, forgetting who was even in the wrong in the first place

Honestly, whoever goes to sleep first gets the bed, he’s not as considerate as Reki. However, as the fight goes on, the pair of you will stay up for ungodly hours into the night, trying to outlast the other because they dont want them sleeping on the couch. You’ll never admit that though, which is why you wont just fall asleep on the couch first. Besides, if you happen to fall asleep on the couch before Kaoru goes to bed, he’ll carry you upstairs and sleep on the couch himself. He’ll never admit that though, he’ll simply say you woke up and went upstairs in a hazy half-sleep, which is why you dont remember.

He’s definitely programmed Carla to apologise to you for him at least once, rolling her into the room you’re in before quickly walking out to the sound of “Y/N, I-am-very-sorry-and-I-was-wrong-please-forgive-me” in Carlas robotic voice

If you ever go to Joe’s restaurant to cool down, he’ll make a big fuss, swaying and sighing, dramatically shouting about “however will these lovers reconcile!?” Once his act is over though, he’ll comfort you and give you your favourite meal, tutting over the pair of you and thinking of ways to help you make up

Literally won’t let you go of you for at least a week after you fight. This mf is hanging off you, constant forehead kisses, the whole deal. He’s gone without your affection for a long time while you fought, he’s simply making up for lost time

Joe

You get really pissed at him when he flirts with other girls. He doesn’t mean to, he’s just a bit of a girl magnet and it’s his nature to entertain them. Of course, he all yours, but he forgets sometimes that jealousy is actually a thing

Doesnt take arguments as seriously as he probably should. He’s the type to tell you to “calm down” in the worst possible moment, its usually what makes you explode, actually.

Absolutely dense. The type to listen to you shout for five minutes, and only then have the audacity to ask you just what your problem was

It’s not his fault, bless him. He’s just a little unobservant when it comes to your emotions. When he realises you’re actually upset though, he’s apologising profusely and promising to never do it again

His apologies are always so genuine, you generally forgive him. However, if he does something that really pisses you off and you dont forgive him, he’ll give you space to think

Fights are usually resolved within a day. Like Langa, he refuses to let you go to bed angry

Cooks for you every meal regardless of whether or not you eat it. He’ll leave meals outside your door as a sort of truce, quietly pressing against the door and asking you to please come eat with him, that he hates the idea of you holed up in there all alone

Like Kaoru, he tends to reply with snarky remarks that have little to do with the argument, but they have a little less bite to them. More petty, if anything

Another big reason for why fights never last long is because this man literally. Will. Not. Survive. Without. You. You’ll be trying to ignore him while he comes in every five minutes, asking you how to get a certain channel on the TV, or stupid things you know he’s only asking because he misses talking to you

After you make up, he literally wont even look at another girl for at least a week. Mf will literally turn his head the other way if a girl comes near him, shouting about how he’s spoken for

Shadow

The biggest hothead. He says a lot of things he doesn’t mean in the moment, which will cause you to storm out and he’ll immediately regret it

The fight almost immediately escalates past hushed voices, swear words thrown around as you get in each other’s faces

He’ll get really upset, but he’ll mask it with being pissed off and angry, clashing pots around and acting like a literal baby. He doesnt want to admit it, but he always feels awful right after a fight. He knows youll need a bit of space after the intense shouting, so he’ll give you that space before even attempting an apology

Aggressively cares for you. Like he’ll say things like “I made food, it’ll taste like shit if you leave it, so I suggest you have it now” or “nope, I want the couch, I’m gonna watch something” he’ll never admit it, he just wants to make sure you’re alright even while fighting

If the two of you go to S while fighting, it’ll be very obvious. Usually you’re attached at the hip, but now you couldn’t be further apart. However, he’s still looking out for you, keeping an eye on you to make sure you’re alright. If you’re ever getting hit on by some creep, the fight is forgotten and he’s back at your side, daring the stranger to come any closer to you.

Reki is always the first to notice, poking him and pushing you over to him, trying to get the two of you to make up. Surprisingly, it actually does help clear the air

He can never stay mad at you for long though, he’s completely soft for you

Makes you bouquets to try and apologise. He’s taught you a lot about the meanings of flowers, so he’ll specifically pick ones with hidden meanings like “I’m sorry” or “I love you”

Not very good with verbal apologies. He knows when they’re needed though, and they are usually delivered through a series of grumbles and sad expressions. The thought is there though

Gives very gentle, long hugs after you make up. He’ll hold you close, suggesting a date or a movie to help the two of you relax

Miya

Literally the biggest bitch out of the six to fight with. He’s so petty, he will refuse to admit he’s wrong for the longest time. Once he’s in, there’s no accepting he’s not right

At least for a while anyway. He’ll start to feel bad once he sees just how upset you’re getting, frustrated with his inability to see anyone’s point of view but his own

King of the silent treatment. He’ll hide away behind his switch, drowning out his guilty thoughts with the white noise of animal crossing

He’ll skate to take his mind off things, practicing new tricks until he’s exhausted

Makes really snide remarks that have absolutely nothing to do with the argument. The type to bring up shit that happened 4 months ago just to help his case

Reki is usually the one to make him see sense, telling him just how petty he’s being, and that he cant get so defensive when he’s in the wrong. He knows this, obviously, he just can’t help it sometimes.

Although he’s not one for real apologies, he’ll slowly begin to stop ignoring you, bringing you small snacks or sending you funny things he saw on his phone. He’ll sit beside you, acting as if it was completely unintentional, but will slowly inch closer and closer until he’s curled up at your side, mumbling about how he wasn’t completely right after all

Will literally hit anyone who tries to comment on how the pair of you have made up, talking about how “its not even that big of a deal, just shut up”

Ad*m

Yall fought cause y’know. He’s ad*m

Sat outside your house with a speaker and an ugly ass sign. It started raining and his sign got ruined and his makeup ran

You broke up with him and he cried

Slipped in the rain while leaving <3

frustrated with having friendships. i feel inept socially, even though im remembering several therapists arguing that point with me, they insisted i was charming and good at socializing? maybe at the end of the day im just sensitive. rejective sensitive dysphoria or something, when im mad at someone i feel like i have no objective view on whether im validated or not. i feel like both could be truth that im being wronged, or that im just crazy. both have precedent, abuse made me very bad at noticing when im wronged and made it hard for me to get mad about it. but i also feel it made me see see red flags when they werent there, or maybe im seeing red flags as green flags for the same reason! i have been toxic in the past I believe, i have also suffered from others toxicity. part of my toxicity was not letting go, and i also reacted to others toxcity by not letting go of them when i should have. its like. i feel like i cant trust myself? but why: i cant trust myself bc my family convinced me to deny my abuse so i still deny reality. so maybe i should trust myself more when i think people are mean to me. but what if there not mean im just sensitive. i just feel like i dont have a good grasp on whats really happening

In Defense of Salt AND Sugar: Aka ML Fandom pls chill out.

So I don’t talk much as those who follow me will say I tend to just stick to myself and my own things. HOWEVER, Ive gotten a lot of asks about why I write both Salt and Sugar for Miraculous Ladybug.

The short answer: Both salt and sugar are valid, fun, intriguing things to read and write and the point of writing is to entertain and be entertained.

The long answer: Salt isn’t inherently someone hating on your fav show and sugar isn't someone necessarily giving it a free pass either. Ya’ll are just dramatic as hell.

The LONGER answer:

I write salt because I LIKE Miraculous Ladybug, BUT the show has not lived up to its potential AT ALL. The show could be so much better and the characters are so flawed or full of holes that occasionally I feel FRUSTRATED and mad!

I hate that Alya a character who I was so excited about, gets shafted ignored, sidelined, or written like a jerk! She could have been this great detective working alongside her friend to unmask the villain, but instead she often comes across as pushy, obsessed with Ladynoir or Adrinette, and so damn easily tricked. Not to mention how when shes not gushing over her ‘ships’ shes pushed to the side and ignored. [or you know... LILA]

I hate that Marinette’s crush makes her do things that are so cringy and awkward i feel ill I hate that she’s constantly the only one making mistakes and ‘learning lessons’ when the show has all these other great characters that could use the spotlight and be the ones learning lessons. I hate that she’s so jealous and that she cant ever seem to catch a break as if the show is punishing her constantly.

I HATE that Adrien is a mary sue, how the writers say hes perfect and treat him as such, I hate that he gets to guilt Marinette into fixing everything and dealing with bullies, I wanted a funny, Ron Stoppable, naive boy who learns about real friendships and grows into a great partner. Instead he gets to be pushy and downright a jerk as Chat Noir ignoring his responsibilities, guilting Ladybug with his feelings, never taking no as an answer. He’s not a good role model for kids.

I hate that Chloe got built up to have a redemption arc several times only for the writers to decide that Chloe a teenage girl who needs some serious therapy [and actual reasonable punishment for her actions] is worse than Gabriel child abuse Agreste. She could have been a great lesson on compassion and growth and dealing with your own pain without hurting others. Instead the writers wrote her off completely.

And dont get me started on how the show treats Nino, Kagami, Luka and the rest of the cast. They may as well be a backdrop for the forced love square that we NEVER get a break from. Seriously I’m a sucker for romance but does it need to be EVERY damn episode?! Can’t we just get some wholesome friendship between everyone including Adrien and Marinette at this point like COME ON.

And i’m not even touching on the white washing, awful lessons on responsibility and forgiveness, awful lessons on well so much other stuff really, the guilt trips, the teacher, the fact that she show could be used to teach kids how to better handle negative emotions and the importance of open communication and not keeping quiet about injustice and/or your feelings but instead decided that the main priority should be a love square that gets force fed to us EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

My point is the show has FLAWS. That doesn’t mean its the worse show ever and it doesn’t mean its not fun, and has a great premise and characters, and so when I write Salt I write it because i’m frustrated! Im frustrated with the show, with the characters, with the writing and so I vent that out with salt I write those characters as their worst selves because I cant stand how the show has decided to treat them and Im ANGRY and disappointed.

It feels good to write salt and to read it. It’s nice to see characters get called out for bad behavior, its nice to read about Adrien not getting the girl. Its nice to occasionally indulge in salt because it validates that the show is flawed and lets you get out that frustration.

BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE

Miraculous Ladybug is a lovely show. It’s a show that decided to give little girls a FEMALE HERO. And not just as a side kick or background character! No they made her the protagonist! Its so important to me that little girls see good well rounded female characters in media.

And even if the show is clumsy about it they are TRYING to build an expansive lore that tickles the theorist brain. And gets people invested in the world.

The show also made Marinette shy, and awkward, and clumsy something a lot of girls deal with during puberty as growing up can literally make you clumsier as your body adjusts. Having a character who tries to be positive and tries to find solutions who solves things with creativity instead of pure violence. Thats LOVELY for young girls to see.

Growing up I loved and admired Kim Possible, and probably would have loved Marinette, even if the shows not perfect I can admit its trying and I can see why people love it as much as they do! And why they write these fluffy sugary fics its the reason I WRITE fluffy sugary things.

Because even though I am frustrated and angry and disappointed with the show, I still see Alya’s potential and how great she is as representation to little girls who want a black female superhero so I write fluff where Alya’s loyalty, compassion, cleverness and her pursuit of justice are center stage.

I see how Adrien could be better and I want him to be better and I WANT him to be the naive funny comic relief the Ron Stoppable to Marinette’s Kim Possible. I want Adrien to grow and learn and spit in his dad’s face I want him to overcome the abuse and be happy. To show people that neglect and abuse doesn’t mean you will get stuck like that forever, that you can overcome that and be a better kinder person.

I want Nino and Kagami, and Luka and Chloe and the class to grow and get attention and have funny moments I want to laugh and make other people laugh! So I write prompts focused around comedy and shenanigans and where the characters get to be fun and silly and make decisions for themselves!

SO IN CONCLUSION:

I write salt AND sugar. I see the value and merit in both sides of the coin, and I respect how other people see the show. I know its easy to get angry with other people in the fandom who see the show differently then you do but please can we put down the weapons and just BREATHE.

Someone who writes salt might LOVE the same show as you, and they might in fact love it so much that they vent their frustrations in angst and salt and cracky fics. Let them vent about how they wish the show was better, leave their tags alone or block them if you cant stand to see it. But dont attack salt writers for ‘hating on your show’ when they might love it just as much as you do but want a way to vent out their feelings.

On the flip someone who writes sugar might NOT be forgiving the show for its flaws, they might see all the same flaws as you but decide to take that frustration and write fluff and fix it fics and sugar because they want to indulge in a version of their favorite show where everything is just... OK. Where everyone is well written and happy and the character development sticks. Stay out of their tags let them have their sugar, they aren't writing it to hurt you just like you don't write salt to hurt them.

So ENOUGH. Enough hunting each other down, enough sending each other hate, enough filling each others tags. Let people write SALT if they feel angry and vengeful and disappointment, let them have their tags, let them explore the dark side of the characters, let them rant and rave and be HURT when the characters they love upset them with their actions. Its not your place to tell them to stop, to tell them their feelings are invalid, to tell them that ‘adrien is sweet sunshine boy how dare you’ or ‘alya would never’ or ‘i hate your marinette leaves dupont au’. Just leave it be, heed the tags, and let it go.

AND ENOUGH. Enough hunting each other down, enough sending each other hate, enough filling each other tags. Let people write SUGAR if they just want something to feel happy about. Let them makes coffee shop au’s, let them make fix it fics where everything is just happy without needing 8 pages of backstory for why everything is just happy. Let them squeal and gush and talk about the ship they like and the fluff they see. Its not your place to argue with them that the show is flawed, its not cool to ruin their fun by accusing them of not understanding the flaws, to tell them ‘umm actual this character shouldn’t get to be happy’ or ‘wow this is so shallow’. Just leave it be, heed the tags, and let it go.

PS: Now with that said and done. I do have one final message for everyone - If you write/enjoy pedophilia, if you sexualize KIDS. Then get the fuck out of fandom spaces, stop fucking following me, and do everyone salt and sugar a favor by LEAVING. Your pedophilia and child sexualization aint wanted, aint ok, and I will fight you.

PSS: IF YOU HATE WHAT IVE SAID ABOUT SUGAR AND SALT FINE OK I RESPECT YOU REGARDLESS. ENJOY THE SHOW, STAY CLASSY, DONT HURT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.

ML Lies Episode Predictions:

There’s Two?? (don’t trust my math) more days before lies completely destroys me, so I’m going to make some predictions, and by predictions I mean wishlist. My walls are already up, so if none of these happen I won’t be disappointed, but also a girl can dream: (this is somehow 1700 entire words long because I have a lot of feelings, so it’s under a cut, you’re welcome)

—Adrien and Kagami’s are secretly dating: please I want it so bad, I’ve talked about this so much and emotionally I need it!! At the very least I want them to sneak out together so so bad I’d cry. But also, if they’re hiding it from their other friends for whatever reason, thats SUCH good angst potential.

—If we get to see some kinda montage of them sneaking out??? Id ride that high for months. Even just one actual example of them working together to sneak out would obliterate me. Like, how it shows Kagami sneaking out to go to the game in Ikari Gozen?? I’d cry

—The breakup happens as a direct result of it being a secret relationship: this would be SUCH a good parallel to lukanette. Lukanette broke up because Luka wanted Marinette to be more open with him and he hated being in the dark, so just, the parallels if Adrien wants to be more open about adrimi and Kagami is like “you dont understand, if your dad finds out about us he will end this immediately” but Adrien wants to believe that its going to be okay and no one will react badly? I’m probably explaining this badly and I’ll try to explain it better later I just,,, want parallels and opposites and truth v lies and hhhhh

—Fencing??? Friendly/ affectionate competition??? Them being idiot jocks in love??? Please??? I want to see them compete!!

—I’d love to see Kagami character growth + Adrimi relationship development!!! I want her to love herself more and be more comfortable around him!!!

—Specifically, if there was a parallel to Riposte,, and Adrien beat Kagami in a fencing match and Kagami was like “Oh nice!! :D good game!” I’d be so happy I’d cry!! And it’s kinda implied by Chat Blanc that they’re already there in there relationship?? But not confirmed?? So if I saw it or saw confirmation of it I’d cry!!

—in one of the released photos it looked like they were holding hands??? And at this point my expectations are so low I don’t even trust it yet but blease,,, let them hold hands,, i’d cry of joy

—If Adrien is also constantly leaving and disappearing due to akuma responsibilities, I want it to read SUPER differently from the Lukanette because I love parallels/foils!! Marinette disappears on her dates with Luka and its just “oh marinette is really distracted and busy and frazzled” but I dont think Adrimi but be loke that at all!!! Because as far as Kagami knows, she has the same backstory/current story as Adrien. She’s risking a lot by sneaking out to go on dates with him?? So Adrien seeing an akuma and being like “oh sorry father is calling” isnt even suspicious or anything??? Its 100% believable!!! If her mother called she’d immediately be like “oh fricking heck i Need To Leave this instant immediately.” So its less “Adrien doesnt care about her” and more of just twisting the knife and reminding her that life doesnt want them to be together and Adrien is never going to be free!!! Big ouch to her heart!!!

—also I want!!!! Them!!! To talk about their feelings!!! Because parallels to truth!!! Adrien is like “sorry I have to go” and Kagami is like “oh I hate that so much” and Adrien is like “big same.” (Also idk how realistic this is but I’d love it if ‘Kagami talking about her feelings’ wasn’t the cause of strife in their relationship!! Like, she talks about how she feels and when she’s upset and Adrien is like “yeah me too” and they’re just,, good bros)

—I need them to stay friends after the breakup, i need it i need it i need it!!! And the whole issue is!! I feel like the main reason they’d date is to try and hang out more?!?? So if the breakup was actually them talking to each other and being like “hey so this isnt working with sneaking out, we’re going to need to go back to the way it was before,” rather than them saying they were bad for each other???? Hoo boy i’d lose my mind

—Also!!! My favorite prediction, I’d die of joy if this happened (and also of angst). I want there to be so much drama with “secret relatinship” stuff that they try to fix it by going public with their relationship!! Very low chance of this actually happening but its okay if it doesnt, thats what the fanfiction I’m inevitably going to write immediately after watching the episode is for!!! But anyway,, multiple ways this could happen.

Maybe they’ve been secretly dating since Miracle Queen and they decide to go public at the beginning of this episode and that’s the primary source of plot/conflcit!!! I’d be thrilled!!!

BUT!!! if the episode ends with then Not Breaking Up, but instead deciding to go from dating secretly to dating publicly???? Holy Freaking Heck,,, I’d go feral with emotion!!!! I also need to expand on this so much more but basic rundown of how I imagine it could happen (again: Is it likely?? Probably not! but this is my last chance to dream):

Kagami is like “listen we have the same backstory and I KNOW in my soul that this relationship wouldn’t work if it was public”

Adrien is like “okay yeah I feel you, thats fair”

Kagami goes on dates with Adrien and its fun and nice and lovely and the honeymoon phase is so good and exciting

Adrien starts disappearing a lot, partly because of akuma attacks, but partly because of nathalie and gabe calling him constantly

Adrien starts to be like “well actually i think that my dad does care about me probably? And if he knew why I wanted to go he’d let me! Or at least Nathalie would because clearly she cares about me!”

Kagami is like “hhhnngg have you met them?? You think they’d want you to be happy and free??” Except she can’t just SAY that because if she did then she’d be crushing Adrien’s entire heart and possibly also making him get really defensive and he has to come to the conclusion that his parents are good on his own

Kagami also starts to get frustrated with how much more often Adrien has to leave than she does?? And its because of akuma attacks but she doesnt know that and he cant tell her

Adrien starts to get frustrated because he can take the “having to leave for akuma attacks” part but when he finally finishes an akuma battle and Natalie immediately calls him it is just aaaaaAAAAAAAA and he just wants to believe so badly that he could at least take control of that part??? He could at least get Nathalie to help him out??? Probably maybe right???

Because we all know he HATES having to keep secrets from Ladybug, but he’ll do it for her, and he’ll keep his life as Chat a secret, but Kagami??? He should at least be able to talk about that, right?? He’s not doing anything bad/dangerous/etc

Also there could very well be some angst with Adrien being so so worried about Nathalie because she’s bedridden and his dad is being sketchy and he’s SEEN this before and he doesn’t want to be avoiding Natalie or lying to her because what if he loses her too??? He’d feel so guilty! And he needs the support of a parent figure so much,,, so he HAS to tell her the truth

But he respects Kagami’s wishes and he’s not going to betray her trust

But unlike Lukanette, they DO talk about their feelings and they disagree and stuff, and even if he’s trying not to be confrontational, Kagami is like “i can tell youre uncomfortable about something, please just tell me what it is” so he tells her that he disagrees

Kagami gets akumatized?? idk if it’s even been confirmed that she’s the akuma “Lies” but I’d assume she is because parallels to Lukanette

Maybe it happens as a direct result of some moment where Kagami and Adrien are arguing and in the heat of the moment he says something hurtful??

Maybe they’re arguing and then Adrien has to leave before it can resolve and Kagami is mad about it even though shes trying not to be and she gets akumatized???

Maybe she does say something like “bc your dad sucks and nathalie sucks!” and he yells or something (i want to see Adrien yell and be flawed let me live, and this is one of the most likely scenerios for it to happen bc it would HURT for him)

Maybe Kagami shoots back with anger, maybe Adrien’s been calm but Kagami gets mean for a moment, but regardless, Kagami says something about her true feelings of anger at nathalie/gabe/ etc and before Adrien can respond he’s like “oh shoot sorry I need to get home NOW”

Then for one brief second Kagami’s TERRIFIED that he’s going to tell nathalie about this in his anger and then nathalie’s going to be like “oh kagami is clearly bad for you because she made u this upset” and Adrien will LISTEN because hes stupid and he still listens to his horrible adult figures and Kagami is so mad about the entire situation so then in her moment of weakness she gets akumatized

Look at that its a direct opposite of Lukanette because Luka was afraid of Marinette keeping secrets about why she’s always vanishing because he doesnt know and Kagami is afraid of Adrien telling secrets about why HEs always vanishing bc she thinks she does know,,

But anyway, after she gets de-akumatized, she’s so ashamed of it and she can see how far she took it and how many people it hurt,, and Adrien is really sad and apologetic and trying to support her,, and she’s like “no clearly I was actually wrong, keeping this a secret is hurting you and its hurting me and now its hurting random civilians”

So she tells Adrien that they should tell people about it and stop dating in secret

And then multiple possible ending:

Does he say “actually no, youre right, they wouldnt let this happen, so if we cant date in public and dating in secret is hurting us then we shouldnt date at all” and thats how the breakup goes??? That would literally obliterate me

Does the episode end on a false positive where Adrien hasnt told them yet and he is like “yeah this is gonna be great” and there isnt an actual breakup yet?? Because that would also kill me (even though i doubt theyre going to let adrimi take up that much time in the show but, let me dream)

Also if Adrien is like “we shouldnt tell my parents but we should tell someone” and then they tell Marinette and now shes got ANOTHER secret to keep and aaaaaaaAAAAA?? Id die on the spot

I’m still holding out hope that the episode will give me enough crumbs to at least be able to write this better, but regardless of what happens in the episode,,, the chances of me eventually writing fanfiction exploring this are SO HIGH, I’ve been thinking about this for ages

In conclusion:

—no matter what happens in lies, its going to destroy me

—please let them be in a secret relationship it makes so much sense for their characters and for the drama and aaaaAAAAA

—also please give me the parallels to lukanette where their issues are exactly the opposite and it still falls apart

Thank you for your time, I’ll be excitedly vibrating at the speed of sound for the next two days until we get answers!! Depending on how the episode goes, I’ll either be writing so much adrimi fluff to recover,, so much adrimi angst to vent,, or I’ll be staring at the ceiling screaming for a few days as I post nothing but keysmashes and try to sort through my emotions :)

roommates with bakugo (pt.3)

1 week later

living with katsuki had not been the best. his constant yelling and wanting everything perfect made you just wanna leave.

he’d yell at you about the littlest stuff and at practice he didn’t make it any better. everytime you and him were training he’d just try to box you.

you were at the gym right now, getting ready for practice. it was raining outside. like pouring. once you were done you went onto practice to train. you had a match today and you knew you had to win or you’d hear katsukis mouth.

you found out that he was the top boxer of the group and figured out why he had gained hatred towards you. to him, you were a threat and competition. you didn’t see why he was this mad but you were not about to let him just walk all over you. you’ll have to humble him. his ego is too big.

you made it out of the gym and headed to your match.

...

you were now in the locker room and you were warming up. kirishima was helping you out and you could feel katsukis eyes on you. katsuki had told you to call him bakugo but you refused and he yelled everytime you called him katsuki.

kirishima hung around katsuki a lot. they were somewhat best friends. kirishima started to talk to you, “Don’t worry about bakugo he’s really uhhh...competitive. i promise he’s not always like that it’s just you’re uhh very different from what he’s used to and his anger gets out of control at time.” he told you and you looked over at bakugo, he averted his attention somewhere else.

“by different you mean i talk back to him when he’s wrong right?...look i’m trying my hardest not to hate him but that’ll only last so long.” you said putting on your boxing gloves. kirishima nodded his head understanding what you had said. you didn’t care, katsuki was very hostile towards everyone and you weren’t letting it slide. you felt that he needed to learn how to control himself or you and him would be arguing for the longest.

before going onto the ring katsuki walked up to you. he fixed your helmet and made sure your gloves fit. he acted as if he didn’t want to do it, you thought maybe coach aizawa made him do so. you had no problem with him watching over you as long as he didn’t open his mouth.

“good luck idiot. don’t lose.” he said avoiding eye contact with you and you rolled your eyes smiling. “thank you. you don’t have to be nice to me if you don’t want dummy. i’ll deal with you and your attitude either way.”

...

anddddd you won. your cheek was bleeding a little but that was it. your body felt so heavy now. you smiled at the audience as cheering and screaming came from the crowd. this was your favorite part. hearing the crowds screams. coach aizawa smiled patting you on your head.

you headed back into the locker room with the coach to be flooded with congratulations and good jobs. your smile was big and you were really happy. kirishima lifted you onto his shoulders, taking you by surprise. you placed your hands into his hair. “DONT DROP ME.” you exclaimed and laughter escaped his lips. “I won’t. i promise.” you laughed and told everyone thank you. from the corner of your eye you could see katsuki looking at you. kirishima put you down and instantly squeezed you.

you had become close with kirishima but it was on the friendly bases. his arms wrapped around you tightly and you smiled.

“i’m proud of you.” he said ruffling your hair with his hand. “thank you. i really appreciate it.” you said wrapping your arms around his neck. you pulled away and started to get ready to leave. the locker room started to empty out as more people started to leave and soon enough you were the last one left.

you felt someone hit the back of your head, “good job dummy.” you heard katsukis voice say as he walked in front of you to leave out.

“i told you not to touch me.” you yelled and he was already out of the door. you let put a frustrated sigh gathering your things.

...

you made it home after stopping to get some ice cream. you were exhausted and knowing you’d have to come home to katsuki was even worse. you headed up the elevator. the common area was filled with people watching the basketball game that came on tonight. you noticed mina.

“heyyy y/n. congratulations on your win. wanna join us?” she asked and you smiled apologetically as you shook your head no. “boxing always drains my energy. thanks for the congratulations and the offer though.” you told her and she nodded her head understanding and went back to watching the game. you opened the door to your apartment, witnessing katsuki on the couch with reading glasses on. he had on a black tank top with a pop sickle in his mouth, typing away at his mac book.

he didn’t bother with looking at you, you walked past him. “no shoes in the house.” he said and you sighed. “stop talking to me.” you told him closing the door to your room. you took off your shoes then started to run some bath water. you took off your shirt and pants and realized the heat was on. you groaned and thought about what you’d say to katsuki when you got out the bath. the rain outside had you relaxed but the heat inside had you angry.

you went into the bathroom and stepped in the water and you were instantly relaxed. your body was aching and you had to bandage up your cheek when you got out. your mind wandered off to anything. you thought about how your parents hated boxing because it was a “dangerous sport”. but without it your anger was hard to tame and the pills the doctors gave you didn’t help. your parents loved the money boxing brought in but now that they’re not receiving the money, their opinions on you doing it got worse.

you sighed letting your hair down. now you had to live with someone who acted exactly like you. you didn’t realize that katsuki is the version of you without boxing. he’s how you would’ve turned out if you didn’t box.

you wondered what his problem was though. he boxed but for some reason he still acted out of control. you noticed something crawling on the wall and realized it was a spider. you jumped out of the bath, wrapping a towel around your body and went into the living room to get bakugo.

“THERES A SPIDER IN THE BATHROOM. ITS ON THE WALL. HURRY UP AND KILL IT.” you told him and he looked at you angrily.

“you’ve got water on the fucking carpet-

you grabbed his arm, pulling him off the couch and forcing him into the bathroom. “you see that? kill it. now. before i slap you.” you told him seriously. he grunted taking off his shoe, smashing it. he looked back at you.

“you could’ve did it yourself.” he told you and you rolled your eyes as he walked out. “CLEAN UP THAT WATER OFF THE FLOOR TOO.” he yelled from the living room. great. you got back in the bath but it didn’t feel the same so you just washed up and got out. you went into your room after cleaning up and turned on some music, you rubbed baby oil all over your body and put on a tank top the showed your under boob a little but you didn’t care cause you didn’t plan on going out of your room.

you grabbed a pair of grey biker shorts and put them on. you looked at yourself in your mirror and dabbed a alcohol wipe on your cut then put two of those white butterfly bandaids that closed your cut. to you they had worked better than the band aids that covered up the cut fully. you rubbed cocoa butter on your skin and put some chapstick on your lips. you left your hair in it’s curly state. the rain started to pour harder and you put on a pair of white nike socks.

you seen a notification pop up on your phone.

mina> denki thinks that bakugo likes you. please tell me you don’t like that arrogant idiot.

you smiled shaking your head.

you> i don’t like him mina. he’s not right for me. ask denki what made him think that.

mina> he says he’s started started to notice the sexual tension between you too. he says bakugos always staring at you and stuff. i kinda think he’s right y\n. you’re the only one he hates as much as he does.

your cheeks heated up as you read the text. sexual tension?

you> he only hates me because i know how to handle him and plus i’m competition to him.

mina> that just proves my point even more. you’re the only one who knows how to handle him and he knows that. that’s why he hates you so much. before you came...he was way worse. he was fighting everyday. you’ve calmed him down a lot. we all can see it- denki

you sighed.

you> why are you telling me this?

mina> because you 2 have potential and you should tell each other how you feel because not doing so could make things worse sooner or later. he likes you a lot. i promise. he’s just not very good at expressing it. anger is the only emotion he knows and now that you’re here you’ve changed that a lot- denki.

you heard your door open realizing it was katsuki you turned off your phone and looked at him.

“your food is ready. come on.” he said before walking out. what denki said still lingered on your mind. you got down from your little chair and walked out of your room following katsuki to the kitchen.

you watched him as he transferred the ramen in the pot into the bowl. you sat down at the counter. you took in katsukis features. his red eyes were very intimidating, almost daring. his jawline was perfect and his body matched his personality. his muscles were always showing and his hands were very large and very lewd thoughts crossed your mind. you could feel yourself start to get moist. you shamed yourself for it. you were letting what denki said get to your head.

“stop staring and eat.” you heard him say, snapping you out of your thoughts and you stayed quiet. thinking about him like that was idiotic. you hated him more than anything, at least that’s what you tried to convince yourself.

you started to eat the ramen he had made for you and it was very good. you watched him use his chopsticks to eat and you wanted to know how to use them.

he looked over at you, “Why aren’t you eating?” you placed your hands in your lap embarrassed, “i don’t know how to use chopsticks. i’m not originally from japan like the rest of you.” he started laughing, “you don’t know how to use chopsticks?” you looked at him angrily.

“obviously. didn’t i just state that?” you asked and he sighed, “is your mouth always this smart?” he asked and you rolled your eyes. you weren’t even being smart. he got out of his chair and came behind you, placing his hand at your waist and he placed his right hand on top of yours. this contact made your heart race, “I-I told you not to touch me again dummy.”

“do you want to learn how to use chopsticks or not?” he asked and you stayed silent. “that’s what i thought. now do as i say.” he demanded. he showed you how to use the chopsticks. it was surprisingly easy and you realized how impatient katsuki was. everytime you’d get it wrong, his grip on your waist tightened and his voice got louder.

you were now finished eating and was cleaning up in the kitchen. katsuki was back on the couch doing whatever he was doing on his computer. once you were done cleaning you decided to make you some some sweet tea.

you heard katsuki come into the kitchen. “what are you doing?” he asked.

“making sweet tea.” you said softly getting out the lemons.

“when you’re done pour me a cup. i turned off the heat but that’s it. i’m not turning on the air. that’s too cold.” he said and you turned around to see him sitting at the island top counter. why was he being so nice?

“why are you being nice?” you asked, he turned his head. “i’m not being nice. the team told me to “ease up on you”. i’m not doing this because i like you or any bull shit like that.” he stated and you nodded your head going back to making the tea. he just had to let it be known.

once you were finished with the tea. you grabbed two wood cups and your tank top slightly lifted up as you did. you poured the tea inside the cups and walked over to him handing him his cup. you watched him drink it.

“it’s good now stop looking at me like that.” he said and you smiled drinking your tea. it was good. your mother had taught you how to make it when you were a child.

you stood at the far end of the counter drinking your tea. you were leaned over with your shoulders on the counter, scrolling through twitter as you did.

you hadn’t realized how silent the apartment was. nothing but the sound of rain hitting the windows filled your ears. you laughed softly at a meme you saw. katsuki looked over at you as he placed his cup in his sink.

you went over to place yours in the sink too. you rinsed his and your cup out, putting it back in the cabinet, your shirt slightly raised again.

“are you doing that on purpose?” you heard him ask. “may i ask what you’re talking about?” you said focusing on the new text you got from kirishima. you felt katsukis presence behind you. he closed the cabinet and took your phone.

this made your blood boil, you turned around and once you realized how close you were you froze up. “why are you texting kirishima?“ he asked and you rolled your eyes.

“why are you worried about who i’m texting?” you asked and he looked down at you. you tried grabbing your phone but he raised hit above his head.

“do you and kirishima have something going on?” he asked and you sighed trying to figure out what he was getting at.

“why? are you jealous?” you asked jokingly but katsuki seemed to take this serious, his jaw clenched and he dropped your phone on the floor. your eyes went wide and you looked at him as if he was crazy. you were about to slap him but he grabbed your wrist and wrapped his other hand around your neck. his lips met yours and that once anger you had for him disappeared.

his lips were soft and he was a very good kisser, the hand that held your wrist was now at your waist, he kissed you eagerly as if he had been wanting to do this for the longest.

he placed kisses along your jawline, “you tease me with the shit you wear and expect me not to react.” you decided to give him the silence treatment. he growled in your ear, his lips touched your neck and your lips parted surprised at how good this felt. you placed your hand at the back of his head, rubbing your fingers through his head.

you could feel yourself getting moist by the second, “damn right, i’m jealous. look at you” he told you sucking the skin on your neck. you let out a soft moan and you could feel katsuki smile against you skin. he dragged his kisses along your collarbone. his hand went up your tank top, squeezing your breast. up until now you hated how big your breast was. his hands was large enough to cover them, that’s all that mattered to you now.

“you enjoy this, don’t you?” he asked lifting you up, cuffing your butt. your arms wrapped around his neck. he took you in his room and placed you on his bed. you watched him take off his shirt, waiting for whatever he was gonna give you. the window view in his room showed his whole room. the rain hitting the window, the sounds of the rain made things so

much better and the view was beautiful.

bakugo grabbed your chin bringing your face towards his. he kissed you passionately biting your bottom lip before his hand raised your shirt. you knew this defied everything you once stated about him but you needed this and the wait for him was too prolonged. you knew deep down that this is what you wanted from you. during arguments him doing this crossed your mind so many times.

he took your breast in his mouth, lightly sucking on them. you placed your hand in the back of his head, moaning at how good his tongue felt on your nipple. he twirled his tongue around your nipple, sucking it before pulling it with his mouth making it bounce back. he did the same to your other one.

he started to place kisses down your stomach. he pulled your shorts off. you didn’t have on any panties and he smiled cockily, “did you know that i wanted a taste?” he asked and you rolled your eyes with your cheeks tinted a bright pink. “no. idiot.” you said and he laughed quietly pulling you towards his mouth. somehow he still annoyed you during moments like this.

he used his thumb to run your clit, dragging his finger between your folds. teasing you as he kissed in between your thighs. he was teasing you.

“k-katsuki.” you moaned lightly. “i need you to tell me what you want me to do and i’ll do it.” he said and you swallowed hard. “i-i want you to lick it.” you whispered and he looked up at you, “lick what? you’ve gotta be specific” he asked and you told him clearer this time, “fuck katsuki. i want you to eat my pussy.” you told him and he smiled. “that’s all you had to say.”

he licked his lips before before he moved his tongue in between your folds. you moaned, throwing your head back. he wrapped his arms around your thighs. once he got to the top, he licked your clit. he gave small licks before deliberately sucking your pussy, pulling your folds with his mouth then going back to licking between them. then he began to twirl his tongue around your clit, making eye contact with you before he started to suck it.

your back arched and you moaned louder at how good his tongue felt. he stuck his tongue inside you and your moans slowly turned into whimpers. your hand went back to his hair as you watched him eat your pussy whimpering. you could feel yourself reaching your climax and you couldn’t take it any longer.

“katsuki. i’m about to c-cum-

his fingers dug into your skin making sure you weren’t going anywhere and he started to eat you as if you were his last meal. his tongue moved sloppily against your pussy and your legs started to shake and you slightly felt that you had to pee, but you moaned loudly and a clear liquid came from inside you as you came.

you looked down in shock. bakugo licked up all of the access juices from your pussy. a string of your juices came from his chin as he lifted his head. he licked his lips, wiping the corners of his mouth, sucking his thumb. he looked at you and smiled, “is this your first time squirting?” he asked and you nodded your head. he kissed you on your forehead and you looked at his pants to see him on hard. he noticed and he put back on his shirt.

“don’t worry about it. this is my way of congratulating you on your win and plus. this was for me, not you. i wanted a taste.”
