"dO yOu KnOW tHeY'rE bRoThErS" yes baby, I watched the fucking show.

Now repeat after me:

Liking something in fiction doesn't necessarily mean you endorse it in reality.

Fiction doesn't affect reality unless you personally want to.

If you can't separate fictional content from reality you shouldn't engage in such content.

If you don't like something just ignore it, scroll past. Block the tag or the person if you might.

They're not real people, nobody is actually being hurt.

I've been in fandom spaces for the past 10 years; I've been called an abuser, a pedophile, told to kill myself, harrassed, suspended from at least 2 social media platforms due to mass-reporting. The characters may not be real but I certainly am but doesn't look like that has ever stopped antis. And you know what all this changed? Absolutely nothing. I literally don't give a fuck and never will. Learn how to inhabit online spaces and how to respect people or leave, I'm not here to cater to your needs.

I'm trying so hard to stay cautiously optimistic about the animation for S7, but man this is not a great representation of this scene. The angle is basic, and the scale is so small here, it feels like it lost all of the emotional weight this scene holds. You can barely even see the All Might statue that's supposed to loom over them.

Really hoping they can make some adjustments, or that the show will look better than what the trailers have given us so far. Or at the very least that this is just a shitty frame and they have a good version of this shot they didn't put in the trailer.

This looks mostly decent, and at least they've learned how to animate Dabi's face now compared to previous seasons.

Even if the animation doesn't get better, I know that the soundtrack is going to be great, and the voice acting in both Japanese and English will be incredible. (Really can't wait to see Jason Liebrecht tackle some of these scenes, he loves Dabi so much)

If this season ends where I think it will, hopefully Season 8 will be animated better for the conclusion (for now) of the Todoroki family's subplot.

If any any point in time you ever become good friends with me, I will push Ghost Trick and Okami propaganda on you until you play both games. This is not a suggestion, this is a promise.

An Open Letter to the Man Who Will Never Read It

I’m not sure what I’m trying to accomplish by writing this. And I have that sinking feeling that I still won’t know after everything has been said and done. Maybe this won’t accomplish anything, and it’ll turn my own life upside down. Regardless of the outcome, I know it really doesn’t matter at this point because my life has clearly gone down a road where we might not meet again. As of writing this, this is a truth I still need to come to terms with whether I like it or not. I can’t say that I haven’t had my eye on you. Granted, I had eyes almost everywhere, so people were keeping tabs on you whether I wanted it or not. And of course, I didn’t want that to be the case as time went on. I genuinely want to forget about everything that’s happened, but obviously I can’t because the purpose of this memoir is solely on our story during that point of our lives. I can safely say why I’m writing this, but I’ll probably never be able to answer the “what am I trying to accomplish with this?” because nothing really matters in the end. It happened, we can’t change how it turned out, and now we’re just living with the consequences of our actions. I’m sure you’re living your best life wherever you are, but as I write this, I’m just now starting to dig my way up from the hole I dug myself into. I’ve only recently started “living” my life, and that’s all because I decided to change jobs. Now, I have all this time to myself but with no clue on what to do about it. I have a few ideas on what to do, but so far, I’m at the “humble beginnings” stage of this new life I’ve carved for myself. It’s not so bad thankfully, but I know I could be doing better with myself. It’ll take some time, but I’m confident that I can navigate through this. I know I’m not alone in this life, and I’m fortunate for that. But this is one of those instances where I have to traverse alone because frankly, the ones that initially knew about our story have a genuine disdain for you. And rightfully so since your ass still owes me an apology. I’m still living life without it though so it’s not like I desperately need it to live. I’m not stating all this solely for the possibility that you’ll eventually find this and read it for yourself. This has been something I’ve been meaning to get off my chest and process it, and this just so happens to be the medium I decided upon to finally process this part of my life. Art has been ruined for me, and I can’t seem to pick it back up like I once did in high school. But writing seems to be my only safe haven that’s been untouched by expectations from an overbearing father. And if writing is eventually ruined for me, I know I’ll find another mode of expressing how I feel. It’s just time-consuming since I’d have to go through the trouble of seeing what works, cutting out what doesn’t work, and so on.

I guess this is just the long version of “this is my truth, whether everyone likes it or not.”

You know why it took Uk & Yeong so long to figure she’s Naksu? It’s not coz writers wanted to needlessly prolong amnesia plot…

For Yeong: She had a strong inkling for who she really was since the night she comforted him. She deliberately suppressed joining the dots coz 1) she sees how hurt/confused/mad/withdrawn he gets whenever they both realize she has reminded him of the past/of his dead ex. Not only does she wants him to find closure and move on, but she also wants him to like her for who she is without confusion. 2) she finds it impossible to believe in the remotest possibility that she — who loves him to death & who loves him far more than he does — was the one that gravely hurt him both physically and emotionally. She cannot fathom hurting him even slightly, let alone killing him brutally and she cannot fathom loosing him or distancing herself from him. Even before YunOk forces her to face it, from her interactions with Uk, Yul, Kim Doju it is clear that she knows but has just been delaying the inevitable.

For Uk: She once told him “wait for me and I will come to you” and wait he did all these years — hoping against hope that she’ll return to him and when she wasn’t returning to him, he wanted to (die &) go to her. He resists despite & especially coz of all the uncanny similarities that stump him coz it is way too tempting to believe it’s her. 1) He is very aware of what he wishes for (remember how hard his heart beat when he tried to find the blue flowers in her eyes) so he’s doubly wary. Thus, he lets his head prevail even while his heart hopelessly responds to the way she makes him feel coz how in the world could it be her when this woman can see energy and open Jinyowon. If only he knew that two souls can cohabitate a physical form, he’d have long recognized her. 2) Not only this, he’s a soul starved for love/warmth/affection and as guilty as he initially is that he’s extremely drawn to everything about this new woman, and he knows all his confusion is hurting her (and hurting her hurts him) so he struggles but inches forward and attempts to see her for just who she is now.

Above all, the writers ensured there’s enough space to showcase 1) how regardless of how/who they meet as, these two souls will find their way to each other and fall in love for nearly the same reasons — all over again and 2) how one ought to move on and embrace life and love again (Uk’s arc is a perfect foil to Yul’s in this regard).

#the writing may not be what we expected coz the genre/feel of this season is very different from the last season but the writing is good #this season is primarily an indulgence in Uk & Yeong’s relationship and epic love that has transcended physical form and death #naksu #jang uk #cho yeong #alchemy of souls #personal musings

Day by day I'm getting closer to my 'fuck it write the way that makes me happy' phase. I'm afraid though as long as hit counts and kudoses and reblogs and likes exist, a part of me will want those numbers to go up.

l have to press into my head how much I enjoy putting characters through their paces - how much I enjoy writing melancholic dialogues by gravesites, city descriptions that give them life, and puns. In this case the Algorithm is the enemy. Many days it seems like the stories I write are not what people want. Therefore, I should just write for myself, right? Right?

So why write and put my stories on the internet if they were not meant to be consumed by others? This is all of me, in these words. Surely some part of me is likable.

So... I baked on Friday. I cooked yesterday. I have lit my peppermint candy yesterday and today. I'm listening to my beloved emotional-support-fanfic-writing-crowley-inspired playlist. I've lit my fairy lights early.

I still don't have the presence of spirit to get a shower and dress up to go with my family. My brother will drive to come for me in about an hour.

I'm not sure what will my disguise be. I've already decided I won't wear my deep purple velvet dress (I'll leave it for New Year's Eve, when I'm taking myself to celebrate in a restaurant for the first time in my life). I am seriously considering the beautiful smoking shirt that I got customized months ago (the first thing that earned me a "sir" in a cafeteria. The pride I felt that day and how sorry the cashier was until I flashed a smile and said "oh, it's fine!"). Or a silly ugly sweater and jeans. Or my silky, deep red shirt and black trousers. Or a mix of all of the above.

Usually this things are too much for me. I'm soldiering on because I know my grandfather, who has lived entirely for too long, will not be for much longer in this realm of the living (all the signs are there), and my family is not bad as such. And I love my cousins.

I've managed in previous years (for at least 30, I guess). It's just that I've also processed so much about my own identity in the last year that the sole possibility of comments and remarks about whatever makes me me (my weight, my short hair, my gender presentation, my perpetual single status, my tattoos, even if the food I cooked is good or not as good as it should have been if any of the "family elders" had cooked it) is hanging over my head.

I have to build up the "fuck it" attitude. I'll probably pray to St. Anthony J. Crowley, Patron of gender fuckery, kids and sauntering vaguely downwards while faking coolness.

I've been seeing more and more spn """fanarts""" that are clearly AI circulating on this website in the past few days and THIS AIN'T IT.

They're pretty easy to spot; always the same realistic but hyper-polished style with very static poses (even when they're kissing is just two dudes profiles slapped together), if you look at them closely you will find the inconsistencies like shadows that shouldn't be there, extra fingers, small objects on the background basically fused together, etc etc (I'll make a guide if you need it!).

And it's bad already that people are making them and using the fucking fanart tag, because flash news: AI images ARE NOT art; but it's very sad seeing people letting them circulate with likes and reblogs, in what I hope is good faith.

It's a slap in the face to real artists. AI STEALS OUR WORK and sometimes even the livelihood of people who pour themselves into creating something beautiful and unique, even if it's "just" fanart.

Please support the amazing artists in this fandom, there are tons and tons of us, don't give a platform to AIbros that wouldn't know art not even if you slapped them with the Monalisa.

I’m feeling a little sappy right now, but writing for Bob has been making me so happy lately. And I think a big part of that is the fact that when it comes to writing for him, I’m allowing myself to place him in an array of different universes. None of the Bob stories I’ve written so far are connected to each other in any particular way, and there’s so much freedom in that!

Ever since I was young, I’ve had a tendency to stick very rigidly to the timelines and universes I end up creating in so many of my stories. And while there’s so much beauty and richness in that, I’ve been finding recently that it sometimes makes me feel like I’ve pigeonholed myself or forced myself into a corner. And that, in turn, puts me into a creative rut.

So yeah, I’m not really sure what my point was in sharing this. But I’ve just been feeling good about my writing lately, and I figured that was worth celebrating ♥️

I think my favorite thing about @scarlettsecret22 being denied until March is that she’s sooo eager to please!! She gives amazing orgasms anytime, but when she’s denied and I promise I’ll play with her wet little pussy, she does such a good job. Just last night she licked my pussy until I came twice, then I convinced her to ride my thigh for an edge before I tied her to the bed, spanked her ass and pussy, and played with her nipples!!

And I want you all to know she almost edged with her nipples being played with. Guess we’re gonna have to make them more sensitive, right little girl?
