The Things He Doesn't Know — K. Bakugo
This is a series, so other parts will be here!
☞ Link: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bakugo x Jealous female reader
Synopsis: When you realize you're in love with your childhood best friend, but force you're feeling's down for the sake of your friendship.
Author's note: My girl has crashed out. Whatever will she do? I felt as if this was a little rushed, but I tried.
Tumblr media
Here you were, standing outside the dorms, waiting for a party you had zero interest in. Mina, of course, had dragged you along, insisting it would be fun. You weren’t convinced.
The air was thick with humidity, making it even more unbearable. You, Sero, Kaminari, and Jirou were already outside, waiting on the rest of the group. Kirishima was still trying to convince Bakugo to come, while Kimiko and Mina had insisted on “dressing up” for the occasion.
"God, they're taking forever! Can we just leave without them?" Kaminari groaned, fanning himself dramatically. "It’s flipping hot out here, man."
"Stop whining, Kaminari," Jirou rolled her eyes, nudging him with her elbow.
"I mean, in his defense, we've been out here for thirty minutes. The party started twenty minutes ago," you pointed out, shifting your weight from one foot to the other.
Just then, Kirishima practically dragged Bakugo outside. The blonde looked pissed, hands shoved deep in his pockets, his scowl deeper than usual.
"Sorry we're late! Is everyone ready?" Kirishima asked, still holding onto Bakugo’s arm like he was afraid he’d bolt.
"No, because flipping Mina and Kimiko aren't here!" Kaminari whined again, throwing his hands in the air.
"Wait!" Mina’s voice rang out from behind. The group turned just in time to see her and Kimiko walking toward them, both dressed in cute outfits that were clearly meant to impress.
"Damn!" Kaminari blurted before Jirou smacked him upside the head.
"Who were you guys looking to impress?" Jirou asked, eyebrow raised.
Sero let out a quiet wolf whistle, his eyes lingering on Kimiko. You deadpanned, giving him a sharp "seriously?" look. He only shrugged, grinning.
"Can we hurry the hell up? I don’t have time for this crap," Bakugo scoffed, already marching off toward the dorms.
The group followed after him, except for you.
Mina, noticing your hesitation, grabbed your hand and pulled you along. "What’s up with you, girly? You haven’t been yourself these past few weeks."
You were about to brush it off with a “nothing” when she continued.
"And don’t even try to say ‘nothing.’ I saw you at the pool party last week, crying in Sero’s arms."
Your stomach dropped. Great. So she saw that.
You sighed. "I’ve just been stressed out, but I’m okay now. Sero and I talked it out."
Mina gave you a skeptical look before nodding. "Alright, I’ll believe you… but you do know you can talk to me about anything, right?"
"I know," you said, offering a small smile.
"Good! Now let’s party!" She grinned, dragging you inside.
The moment you stepped into the dorms, the bass from the music vibrated through your chest. The party was already in full swing, people dancing, laughing, drinking soda, and lounging on couches.
Mina wasted no time pulling you onto the dance floor, where you met up with Yaoyorozu, Tsu, Ochaco, and Hagakure. The six of you swayed to the music, letting loose. For the first time in weeks, you actually felt free.
Then Kimiko showed up.
"Oh my god, you guys, Bakugo is so freaking impossible sometimes!" Kimiko groaned, dramatically flipping her hair.
You clenched your jaw.
"What’d he do now?" Ochaco asked, sipping her drink while sliding left and right.
"Ugh, he just doesn't get it! Like, we were talking, and I swear I was flirting so hard, but all he did was grunt at me! Like, how dense can you be?" Kimiko huffed, crossing her arms.
"I mean, it’s Bakugo. He’s not exactly Mr. Romantic," Tsu pointed out.
"Yeah, but come on! I feel like I’m this close to breaking through that tough exterior," Kimiko continued, holding up her fingers with barely any space between them. "Like, he actually listened to me today! And when I laughed, he kind of—"
"Oh my god, can you just shut up about Bakugo for ten minutes?"
The words were out before you could stop them.
The music didn’t stop immediately, but the mood did. Heads turned. Your friends stared. Even people not involved in the conversation glanced over.
Mina’s eyes widened. "Y/N, what the heck?" she muttered, trying to tug you back.
But you weren’t backing down.
Kimiko crossed her arms, glaring. "What the hell is your problem, Y/N?"
The music cut off. More people started paying attention.
You knew you should stop. You knew you should swallow your jealousy and walk away.
But you didn’t.
"You! My problem is you! You’re so desperate! Hop off his balls for once!"
The room went silent.
Mina inhaled sharply. Ochaco’s mouth dropped open. Yaoyorozu gasped. Tsu's eyes widened, and Hagakure covered her mouth.
Kimiko’s expression twisted into something unreadable, shock, hurt, and anger all mixing at once.
You felt the weight of what you just said crash over you like a tidal wave.
"Crap, Kimiko, I’m—"
"Save it, Y/N," she snapped, turning on her heel and storming off.
Yaoyorozu immediately followed her.
Tsu gave you a disappointed look before sighing. "Not cool, Y/N." Then she walked away, too.
Hagakure hesitated before saying, "I’m gonna check on them."
Ochaco shook her head. "That wasn’t you at all, Y/N…" She trailed off, then left as well.
Just like that, your friend group had scattered.
Mina pulled you off the dance floor into a quieter area, arms crossed. "Y/N, what the heck was that?"
You groaned, rubbing your temples. "I don’t know, okay? I messed up."
"That was more than messing up. What even triggered that—" Mina stopped mid-sentence. Realization dawned on her face. "Oh, honey no. Bakugo?"
You didn’t say anything. You didn’t need to.
Mina sighed, shaking her head. "I knew something was up. You always look miserable whenever Kimiko talks about him. But seriously, girl, that wasn’t cool. You shouldn’t have let your jealousy bubble over like that."
You swallowed hard, shame sinking in. "I know. I’ll apologize to her."
Mina gave you a firm nod. "Good. I’m gonna go check on them. You need to cool down."
You didn’t argue.
Once she left, you exhaled shakily and slid down the wall, resting your back against the cool surface.
The weight of your own words crushed down on you.
What have you done?

You know what i'll be petty, this will be my complain time, feel free to skip this post:
I don't like how easily Nene got inside the clock keeper's boundary.
They made a big deal of how hard it is to get there in the last arc, of how time needs to be stopped for the entrance to even show up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And even then, only Akane, Teru, and Tsukasa had been able to move while time was frozen.
Nene could not. Even Hanako could not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So her just following the cat (regardless if the cat is just a familiar or a yugi twin, it doesn't matter) I don't like it.
Tumblr media
Cause the clock keepers should still be powerful (or else they would lose the op power of rewriting the world). And Aidairo is at least pretending their rules are the same, considering Akane was right and only he could use the clock/key.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it feels less like weaving a new set of rules in this brand new world to explore, and more like "this is convinient to move the plot were i want" with no care for consistency.
Why did Aoi never remembered about the new timeline even when everyone explicitly told her during their dinner hang out? Is it because she wasn't in the keepers boundary? Then why did Mitsuba and Kou did? Neither of them were inside the keeper boundary when it reset either. What about Hanako and Tsukasa? They were in the clock keeper's court, but they don't have the clear memory Teru and Yashiro do of the old timeline, is it because they are ghost? Twisted into brand new forms compared to their old selves? But then we are back to wondering why mitsuba (who was a supernatural stitched up by remains) remembered.
The sad thing is that Aidairo spend so many months building up interesting ideas in this new world, ideas for things that wouldn't be able to be explored in the old one, and instead of giving the characters internal comflicts, moral comflicts (which we know they can do, picture perfect is right there) or exploring anything, they just used the dramatic "THIS WORLD IS BAD!!! NO NUANCE ANYMORE, IS JUST BAD NOW! LET'S GET OUT!!" solution to get everyone to go back.
Which isn't my personal favorite approach, but I usually wouldn't mind. I mean, everyone know they need to go back to the old timeline at some point! No problem there!! Except nothing was explored. We got the news the minamoto mom is back but we didn't get a single dialogue between her and Teru or her and a Kou that remember she used to be dead. We got the news Aoi and Teru are in an arranged marriage but didn't explore that wild comcept much. They set up a deadline of three days before the cast start forgetting the old timeline but it haven't even been one day in this new world before something conviniently awful happened.
Why set up a stage if you just want to move the characters out of it as quickly as possible?? Mitsuba and Kou whole relationship in this new world was basically sumarized to us in a single chapter, which was the same chapter where they died to rush the rest of the cast out. Yes is tense in the moment but the more time passes the more it just feels rushed. Like a million ideas thrown in a table and now that they are in the open is time to move on.
I bet a million dollars this won't be talked about.
Tumblr media
Why would it? Aoi and Teru are probably dead, so who cares about their engagement and it shadyness? this world is 'fake' so who cares about anyone in it?
Sure, I want to go back to the original world too! but idk, I kind of cared about this world.
Wasn't that the point? To care about the world? If it wasn't the point then what was it? Yugi lore?? Show exactly how evil the entity that originally possessed Tsukasa is?? That's it? Brand new world created ONLY to focus on Yugi twins lore? No Minamoto family moment now that they are all together (an impossible feat otherwise!), no comflict or temptation at all? When Kou remember his old memories he goes 'omg sousuke was dead' but doesn't even bat an eye that his mom was dead too?? Was the mom reveal really just a cheap shock value moment for the audience??
I still have no idea where yooko and satou are, I guess mitsuba is Kou's only friend in this timeline? hard to say since we only focused on Kou and Mitsuba's relationship with each other, barely interacting with the world as a whole (what is Kou's relationship with Aoi now that she is his brother's fiance? Or with his brother now that Teru have more free time?? Who cares, am i right??). They made Mei alive but there is no interaction with her so what? is it a cute fanservice too? A way to show how powerful the 'curse of the house' is? Is that it? It feels so hollow. This rush will make them go back to their old timeline faster, sure, but it takes away the characters depth.
I am glad many people like this arc but I see it as a big waste of potential :/

(tw for alcohol use, feel free to ignore if it might be a trigger for you)
I think I might have an alcohol problem. I don't drink daily, but usually 2-3 times a week and it's heavy enough to make me stumble a little most of the time. I can never just have one drink. It was once just for fun but now it's also helping me cope with shit going on in my day to day life, and to pop open a few beverages at the end of a long day is something I look forward to immensely, so much so that I find myself drinking more than I originally intended, or I'll have some days with repeated thoughts of just popping open a cold one and getting very drunk. I'm trying to limit my consumption so I don't become an alcoholic, but it's hard when life is cruel and alcohol makes me feel so light and carefree. I don't know what to do, and I'm not asking for advice so much as a listening ear. I have a family history of substance abuse on both sides and I'm kinda scared right now. But when I can drink at the end of the day I feel like for a while everything's good and I love that respite in my life, when I don't have to deal with all the shit people throw at me. I wish I at least had a friend to drink with and socialize, but Im always drinking alone in the middle of the night and hoping to feel floaty and numb. It's hard to deal with. I'm going to hold out hope for the future though and know that life will go on. Trying to remember that I'll get out of this (and the sooner the better so I don't become dependent, if I'll listen to my own conscience) fortunately it hasn't impacted my life (yet) other than just spending a little too much on drinks or drinking one more than I should.
Sorry for the long ramble but thanks for reading if you have <3
I struggle with addiction myself (though not to alcohol) and here's a couple things I've learned along the way:
Even considering that you might be an addict is a really important and hard first step to take. I'm proud of you!
Addiction isn't limited to having a physical dependency which requires daily upkeep. There is also the concept of psychological addiction, which is more about how and why you engage with a certain substance than whether you're physically dependent on it yet. And refusing to face the question of addiction because you don't drink/do drugs daily will only escalate the issue.
It's easy to end up thinking that if you could just learn to drink/do drugs in a less unhealthy way, you can keep drinking/doing drugs. But once you've started using a substance as a coping method, it is very hard and often impossible to successfully go back to only using it recreationally.
Addiction is a coping method in most cases. This means that your challenge isn't just to drink less, it's to figure out why you're drinking and how to face and resolve the underlying issues that alchohol currently helps you cope with. It usally isn't as simple as just not drinking anymore when you aren't drinking for fun.
Addiction isn't a moral failure and it doesn't reflect badly on you as a person. It's a coping method that you have a genetic predisposition towards, not a sign that you're an unusually bad, weak, immoral person. And regardless of whether you're in active addiction, trying to recover or managing sobriety, your value and worth as a person is the same.

"Enhancements from other organisms for superior intelligence" yeah this is a straight up lie. CRISPR can do a lot of things but it cannot do magic.
What organisms? Which organisms' genes could be spliced in to make a human more intelligent? This straight up doesn't make sense. We aren't at a stage where we can just apply vague traits to something using CRISPR. This shit (genes and genetics with regard to the brain/intelligence/personality) is incredibly complicated and still not fully understood, and— side note— what other organism could improve human intelligence if we are the smartest species? And what specific genes are the "intelligence" genes, then, anyway? Even Elon isn't that stupid. I think.
The only conclusion I can come to here is that she means other humans. If she means they made a designer baby using the genes of several different humans, well... I don't know what I should think, honestly. A few years ago, I would've told you that this would also be a lie, but I don't know shit about shit anymore. The world is insane and Elon is insane and I'm at a point where I can believe it.
The fact is that we do not have the knowledge nor the ability required to make a sci-fi super intelligence baby— at least, not successfully, and not without absolutely horrifying risks. On the off chance this isn't a total lie, that kid is going to be a completely normal human person because they've exaggerated what they did to the kid (which, I imagine, was probably modifying more specific genes which are actually known to cause various illnesses). Or die of some mysterious illness because they're not exaggerating and everything in those genes is fucked, in which case, I dunno, is that... a crime? I'm pretty sure would count as human experimentation, so...
And, because I just realized I didn't mention it— yeah, CRISPR is not approved for human use right now, OP is 100% correct. I don't know how Elon possibly could've done all this without word getting out and causing a huge scandal. There's no way he could have done all this intelligence-enhancing cross-organism shit in absolute secrecy and without facing any backlash. SOMEONE would spill the beans, as is the nature of secrets in group operations (which this would've had to have been; even Ashley says Elon just "managed" it, not did it all himself). This is another reason I think that, at most, they modified risk factors for illnesses. And we've only got one account here— the mother, who could very well and very easily be lying about or exaggerating this IVF+ story.
But I don't know for sure. I'm not an expert and Elon is an evil motherfucker. I don't check the news much because everything is awful right now, so maybe I missed something. I honestly don't know if there's hard laws about this, so I don't know what would even happen if this all turned out to be partially true. IF. And it's a big if, because again, this borders into completely impossible.
TLDR I cannot take this seriously and I do not buy it as is, but the world (and Elon) is batshit enough that maybe Elon did use CRISPR on his baby in some way, probably to try to eliminate genetic illnesses and risk factors. But, to be clear, this is probably a complete lie.
Tumblr media
Elon’s latest baby mama says she used genetic engineering (CRISPR is not ethically approved by the scientific community for use on humans) to create the perfect human with “enhancements from other organisms”

Happy V Day I hope Joel and Honey are having lovely slow and/or nasty sex after they put the kids to bed ❤️
Okay, this is late, but....yes
Yes they are 😌

Short Days, Long Nights Universe
You surprised him with something fancy.
Something you had to trade for, which already gave the scrap of fabric more meaning, but you would have gladly traded a million things in your little house just to have him look at you the way he does when you undo your robe.
The novelty of celebrating something like Valentine's Day isn't lost on either of you. A small, throw away holiday, meant for the consumer times of before. Bouquets of fancy flowers, boxes of chocolate with satin bows, expensive dinners, jewelry, gifts.
The fact that you're alive and well is enough to celebrate, but then you throw in the impossible idea of finding the love of your life? Of actually having a family? Of being able to raise them in a safe community, where you can shower your love on them every single day without the harsh threat of the outside world taking it all away?
That's what Valentine's Day is now. Something that has more meaning than it used to, because it means you're alive and you get the luxury of celebrating it.
Well - it's about that, and this.
The slow crawl onto the bed, towards his broad frame.
The straddle on his thick lap, the richness of his eyes in the lamplight.
The delicate way his rough fingers catch on the lace cups, and the slow drag of them downwards.
Not before he has a taste through the transparent fabric, though. Not before his mouth finds each peaked bud and his hands find the weight of your breasts and his groan rumbles across your sensitive skin when he latches onto each one in turn until the thin lace is soaked.
Not before he sits there in his lean against the headboard and just looks, with so much love and reverence and lust in his eyes that it pierces your tender heart and makes you want to cry.
You start by sinking down on his lap just to watch the way his mouth drops open, and end with his hand over your mouth as he fucks into you from above and though it's late and the kids will wake up early in the morning, you doze until it's time for round two, this time starting with his face buried between your legs and ending with you on all fours as he pounds into you from behind. His hands tug on the lace, he clenches it in his fists, savors the way the silk is warm with your body heat until he can't take it anymore and lifts it carefully off your body so he doesn't rip it with how hard he's going to fuck you.
The evening (or early morning) ends with him curled around you, and when the kids wake up, he decides to extend Valentine's Day for you by letting you sleep while he pads out of the bedroom as quietly as he can; the kids chattering their good mornings, his mind still stuck in the night before. ❤️

We all know that the reason why Bruce Wayne isn't religiously Jewish is because dc are cowards, but also because many of the community itself is cowards. I personally believe it comes from a lack of knowledge about what it even means to be religious because most of the community is Christian or culturally Christian. So as someone that would probably be considered not religious by Christians, but Religious by most other Jewish people, I think that Bruce Wayne fits in this section of being Jewish.
Bruce can't go to the Synagogue often because of the whole being Batman stuff, but he still goes on the high holidays when he can. He celebrates with the Kane family as well! And Kate would obviously understand if he couldn't come because she's Batwoman! Give me a Bruce Wayne says Yiddish curses. Give me a Batman that has a bunch of Chanukkiot that are just so pretty because they are rich and definitely have a ton. Give me Batfamily shabbat dinners when they are able to. Rest days on Saturday for the Jewish members when they are more members in the Batfam to make it work (and it being a mitzvah when he does have to be Batman on Shabbat because its a mitzvah to save a life). Give me Mezuzot on every entryway. Give me a Bruce Wayne who inherited his mother's seder plates and actually uses them. Give me a Bruce Wayne that says stuff like kein ayin hara before giving good news! Give me a confused Dick Grayson when Bruce insults him (its actually a compliment, but to ward against the evil eye you will say the opposite of what you mean) and then Bruce having to explain after he realizes that Dick has no idea why he just insulted him. Give me a Batman that follows Jewish values (more than he canonically does)
Just because someone ins't actively involved within a wider community of that Religion doesn't mean they aren't Religious! Or at least don't give me a culturally Jewish Bruce Wayne that doesn't do any of this. Thats just you stripping away all the Jewish parts of him.
Bruce Wayne is Jewish and you can't just ignore that
#The kane family is there from when he is a kid to when hes an adult#meaning they definitely had a hand in raising him#I think its very odd that alfred the bodyguard turned butler of the waynes to have been the one to canonically raise him#while his entire maternal side of the family is still alive and kicking#like guys please come on#and also I think it would be very weird that alfred didn't bring Bruce to his maternal family#that would just be out of character imo#but yeah I think its very small minded to think of being religious as a belief in god and going to church#because that is a very very small portion about what it means to be religious to me#also! I based off the Kane's name origin it would be very likely for the Kanes to be Irish Jews#oh and one more thing#Just because I consider him to be just Jewish doesn't mean that its impossible for him to be dual faith#We have no idea what religion Thomas was#we could say christian#but I like to say thats from Alfred and any christian stuff that the Batfam celebrate is not because of Bruce#but is actually from Alfred and any of the kids that are Christian/culturally Christian#nevermind have another thought on top of this mess#why would Richard Grayson ever be considered christian#press x to doubt#while I know nothing about Romani religious practices and I know that is on purpose from their community which I respect#the community does know that Dick is Romani#meaning he would follow their religious practices#which I think he would follow extra hard after the death of his parents#and there is also the argument that he could be jewish if he was raised in a household that is Jewish and holds Jewish values#but yeah the Wayne manor has only one confirmed christian in it and its Alfred#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#kane family#kate kane

Asking about the guy I'm currently super unwell about is such a dangerous game, I hope you understand you're getting an essay here.
Okay so like, no matter what, there is no way Oliver has any chance of knowing Caleb prior to him being Colonel. He's not MC but make her trans (though believe me, I have thought about this as an AU for Oliver and I have so many brainworms on that too), so he didn't grow up with Caleb. This actually makes it very difficult for him to have a good in with Caleb.
Difficult, but not impossible.
The way I see it, Oliver at this point is likely to go rogue if we follow the in game story. He's going to quickly come to terms with the fact that the Association is not going to be able to make any direct moves against Ever and now he's starting to hit walls and that makes him nervous, so he's going to start making more desperate moves and associate himself with shadier and shadier people to get things does - again, while Oliver is very strict with his morals, he's an "ends justify the means" kind of guy.
Viper has already shown his hand in game as someone who is willing to double deal, so he makes a very lovely in for Oliver to start getting information on Ever. Some legit, some... not so much. His snooping will eventually catch the eyes of one Colonel who is definitely not going to take kindly to someone playing spy directly under his nose. (You can see this idea kind of playing out with the rp I had planned with apple-caleb).
Now, based off my read of the situation, I see Caleb as someone who is still resisting Ever, albeit in a more subdued way. They have him on a leash, there is only so much he can do and most of his actions revolve around keeping MC away from Ever's hands. This means Caleb and Oliver are more or less on the same side.
I think Caleb would see Oliver as someone who is trying too hard and is going to get himself killed. He may push him away, try to convince him to go a different route, but Oliver isn't going to stop because he doesn't want to wind up dead because, well, he's in too deep. If he shares what he knows, he's a dead man and he can't stay quiet. That's just not who he is.
Now here is where I'm going to be jumping off of the deep end and I apologize in advanced because there are two ways I can see this playing out and it really depends on how I read Caleb and how he views gender specifically.
If we view him as someone who buys more heavily into gender roles, then he doesn't need to protect Oliver. He's a man, he can stand on his own two feet, so it's more working together and finding convenient ins to let Oliver sabotage work here and there and find ways to get to higher members of Ever. Very high risk, Caleb is much colder here, but he still looks out for Oliver. This is a much more comradery based relationship and I'd argue this one is probably more platonic than romantic because well, I mean Caleb's not gonna let MC go and Oliver has 0 chance with him and he can accept that.
Now, if we go with more of Caleb viewing himself as a sole protector for those he grows to care about, then Oliver is going to find himself in similar situations to MC where Caleb's going to do whatever he can to get Oliver out of trouble. He doesn't need to be in this fight, he doesn't need to risk his neck, everyone he knew from his time with Ever is gone and he'll only lose so much more if he keeps going. He needs to keep Oliver safe, he needs to lock him away, too so he doesn't get himself killed, if he would just let Caleb look after him, everything would be fine, right? This is more romantic but watch out!
In short, I've become deeply unwell about Caleb and have thought about this in great length. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
[[ Does anyone want to hear the way I see ships with the LIs going down Oliver?? ]]

Man, everyone is always talking about how Kabru is wearing eye makeup, but you guys understand that he is just naturally heart-stoppingly gorgeous right? He's probably not wearing any makeup, he's South Asian and he has naturally long, dark lashes, and a delicate, feminine face. He's a beautiful man! He'd look radiant even naked and covered in mud.
He's the type of beautiful that people write poetry about and start wars over!
This is just canon. It's shown and told to us multiple times and ways. People see him and swoon on sight, even when he's barely trying. Even when he's dirty and tired, even when they are hardened warriors and spies. And it's implied that he can and does do this sort of thing regularly... He has a whole flock of women that he's charmed.
And it's not like Dungeon Meshi has sameface syndrome. There's plenty of other men that don't look like Kabru. Kabru's meant to be very, very beautiful. AND on top of that, he's also insanely charismatic and genuinely good at reading people, figuring out what they want, and finding ways to give it to them that makes them like and trust him. He manages to do it within minutes of meeting Daya's hostile, jealous fiancee.
He's a Cleopatra, an Alexander the Great, a Caesar. If he was in a war he'd go out with 10 soldiers and come back with 20 because he convinced the enemy to defect and join his mission.
He's not perfect but he's damn close. His biggest flaw, Kui explicitly tells us, is not having enough experience, and specifically not knowing enough about monsters. The first will naturally be fixed as time passes, and the second.... well, it isn't a problem as long as he's not in a dungeon, which is 99% of his life....

it's normal to be disappointed when you learn that your dreams are already dead. but just like a phoenix, our death will lead us to our own rebirth; and like a supernova, some deaths are beautiful.
#context is in the tags where i hide#which will be a lot#so uh#you all probably know about... my au.#all the team is busy. of course including me.#one's in uni; the other... idk. probably living his life.#as i mentioned in a previous post i've been missing the times when the group was still as active as how young people would be#and the youthful days i had in general#one thing i used to be scared of is change.#now i don't think i'm scared of change anymore. just dreadful but no longer scared#because change is inevitable and there's nothing we can do#so uhhh#go with the flow i guess#i always let the people i cherish live their own lives and i give them all the privacy they need#even if it means not being able to keep in touch with them#that is if they'd still remember me#whether they would or wouldn't that's okay with me#(no hard feelings everything is genuine and honest)#so... let's go straight to the point#the au would probably end up being solely written... that is if the art stuff doesn't push through#it's not like i've grown sick of those 'promises' i totally understand them i SWEAR.#i just don't wish to be misunderstood but like i just. couldn't spit all of it out in front of them#i'm sorry for being a coward#and if you see this... i don't know. probably tell me how you're doing? and either give me hopes that this could all still be sorted out-#or tell me if it's impossible at this point?#please just don't give me any false hope.#and... if we all ever don't push through#i'm genuinely sorry if i tired you or wasted your time and energy.#i'm sorry for dragging you to all my demands and perfectionisms and insecurities#missing entry

Unpopular opinion: people don't get to choose what kind of family they're born into, and this includes people whose families have more wealth. But people do choose whether or not to be assholes to those people, based on stereotypes and presumptions (about ego, attitude, etc) that may or may not actually be true for that person. And in those cases, the person with the wealth isn't the issue.
I know someone who got an inheritance and every time we talked about it, they started crying. They felt so guilty because they didn't "deserve the money" and they knew how hard it is for someone to get that amount, and they just wanted their parents back.
Don't be an asshole to someone based on the circumstances of their birth, period.

i wish i could have a silly little day on tumblr but I have to read my 80 page HOA document to see if the boomer condominium overlords will ALLOW me to get my new dishwasher (that i bought on black friday like a true, miserable adult marching towards death) DELIVERED AND INSTALLED on the 23rd as expected or if I have to cancel the delivery because there are too many rules for me to abide by and my soul is simply too tired to jump through the necessary hoops to comply.

Sorry if this is a weird idea but it has suddenly entered my brain and I MUST tell you jfnckshcks
You should let Koro-sensei meet Jelly!Emile!! He’s yellow with a round head and lots of arms,, you’re yellow with a round head and lots of arms,, There’s uh, not that much else to it, it just sounds funny to me hdbcjdbsjn
Fun fact: Koro-Sensei is ALSO a selfshipper, he also has self inserts in a lot of the media we consume together, so if I have an S/I for a media you can pretty safely assume Koro-Sensei has one too, including Splatoon!! (and actually I've posted a funny half joke doodle version of it before.)
Anyway, I think if our S/Is met it'd probably be very brief. Something like this?

I could also see him popping into Jelfonzo's shop every once in a while in disguise. Egg wouldn't recognize him until a few days later though. They probably wouldn't see eachother much at all after Egg moves to the Splatlands.

study smart not hard (altough both is best actually) this saying is so true
#my advice#but this saying is sooo true#i know some people at uni who study for exam so long and hard but then fail or just barely make it :(#like what are you doing? i don't mean this in a mean way but it doesn't have to be this difficult#i don't understand how some people can study for an exam for 2 weeks or even a month and still fail and i don't think they're stupid#or i don't see myself as particulary smart#but i guess they just waste their time a lot and i realized studying effective is so important#now everyone is a bit different and has to find what works best for them but there are certain techniques which are proven to work well#there is so much information on the internet on this look it up seriously#it made my life sm easier i never struggled in uni like i did in school and i get good grades#and if i ever struggled a bit it was because i started so late it was almost impossible to pass 😂#which is why to do both is still best 😂#but i actually always made it and i never failed an exam at uni (which i studied for)#(two i was fooled into to just try without studying bc it's easy lol)#i mean i shouldn't speak too soon but i already made it through some of the most difficult of my studies#ofc it depends on what you study how well this works but i'm speaking for myself#i once passed an exam with a B studying only 2 days as one of the best students while others studied 2 weeks#and got worse grades or failed#still studying only 2 days is stupidity don't do it 😅#so the techniques i find very helpful are ofc exam questions probably the best one#if there are none make your own#then blurting for which there are different ways but i like to just go over a topic and then write down everything i remember#then fill the gaps#quizlet is also great it's an app which allows you to create cards and then tests you in creative ways#videos can be helpful as well for summaries and using summaries in general is normally enough it saves you sm time#normally you don't actually need to know everything but you should be careful it's not a bad summary leaving out too much 😅#and i also like mindmaps bc i'm a very visual person#but all those tipps are mostly for remembering information so it doesn't work so well for other fields of study#well i hope this is somewhat helpful idk 🙈#oh and reading texts over and over again is the most useless in my opinion i don't remember much at all and it takes sm time

Day 30: Viol 
(Iron Bull & Mallory Trevelyan, Background Blackwall x Mallory)
When Maryden the tavern bard brings in another bard to play when she’s on break, Mallory Trevelyan is delighted to see that the man plays the viol. Iron Bull watches on as the Inquisitor Mallie draws upon some old lessons from her childhood she’s loathe to elaborate on.

Like I know we all love making ADHD seem cool but like, don't forget it's actually a disability? My ADHD is bad enough I've nearly been evicted for forgetting to mail the rent check to the property manager, I've forgotten to pay the utility bills and had my water or power get turned off or had to pay fines bcs I missed a credit card payment. Once I was supposed to cat sit for a friend and I lost the house key she gave me but didn't realize until she was already out of town, and she had to call the apartment office to get someone to give me the spare so her cats would have food for the week. When I'm unmedicated I can't even get myself to shower half the time, forget eating or cleaning. Before I started living with my fiance I'd just like, not eat for days because I didn't have anyone to remind me to eat or go buy me food. I've forgotten to turn the stove off so many times and ruined kettles and tbh been DAMN fucking lucky the house didn't burn down. I've done stupid, impulsive shit that's nearly gotten me KILLED. I can't remember to close the shower curtain reliably even through my fiance points out every single time I forget, and he's almost out of soap rn bcs for the last MONTH neither of us have been able to remember to order more once we get out of the shower.
I've had such bad memory my entire life that to this day someone suggesting I forgot something because I simply didn't care enough is a legitimate trigger that, in the worst cases, makes me have a breakdown.
I get that for some of you this is just something that makes studying hard or you forget to take a pee break when you're playing Minecraft or whatever, that's still a valid struggle and you do deserve help and understanding, but like, ADHD is a disability. It's disabling. It's not impossible to improve and learn coping skills, meds help a lot, there are great accommodations out there(LIKE CLEANING SERVICES), but not every case of ADHD is the same, and a lot of them are pretty ugly ngl, and just because you managed to do something doesn't mean someone else is gonna be able to manage it too, or that they're being lazy for struggling. And that obviously doesn't mean ADHD people have a free pass to never work on themselves and make everyone cater to their every need or whatever, but we do deserve some understanding when we explain that our disability is actually disabling in ways that aren't palatable to you. So like, idk, maybe don't immediately recoil in horror when you find out that someone with ADHD can't keep their house clean. And for fucks sake don't ridicule them for it.

I have ADHD. My spelling has always been pretty bad, so I always have people proofread for me. But I've been told by people whose job it is to write letters and emails tell me I'm very good at it. That I sound professional and articulate.
I spent a whole weekend working on an email a few weeks ago because it was extremely important, and I wanted to make sure it was as well thought out as possible.
This therapist is fucking stupid.
Friend of mine was dealing with a therapist's office and got frustrated with their actions, wrote out a letter to them, and this was part of their reply. I'm fucking livid.
Tumblr media
The last line shows a fundamental misunderstanding of who the people who have those things are, who we actually are as a community. The idea that someone with ADHD or ASD cannot be eloquent is fucking absurd. The absolute condescension and blatant display of medical ignore is just infuriating.
