idk if i shared this. or why i wrote this or what but.
takes place sometime during & here i am alive
"Really?" Midoriya asks, eyes wide as they can be. He leans closer to you in very, very obvious interest giving your heart a very impromptu workout of its own.
"Uh… yeah," you say slowly, hoping it'll help slow your racing heart. "I… thought it would be a good idea. You know, making sure I've got the energy to get through a workout."
Midoriya nods sagely, obviously agreeing with the sentiment. "You don't want to risk feeling light-headed while exercising! Plus, there are studies that say that having carbs beforehand can improve a workout! Oh, but you know, it's important to eat after a workout too!"
You nod slowly, you think that you've heard that somewhere before.
Midoriya tilts his head, "There's a gym around here? I don't think I've seen…"
"Oh! It actually just opened," you explain. "They, uh, were offering free trial memberships."
You don’t tell him they were offering free smoothie vouchers at the gym’s built-in cafe if you enrolled for a trial membership. Not that Midoriya would tease you for it, but you don’t want to leave it to chance.
He hums thoughtfully. “Maybe I should check it out…”
“Don’t you have a lot of exercise equipment at home though?”
“Well, there’s a limit to what I can do since we’re on the fifth floor,” Midoriya explains. “Are you planning on going next weekend?”
“Hopefully…” You had gotten the membership in hopes of being more active, however you know better than anyone how good your couch’s seduction skills are.
“Well, if you’re okay with it, I can go with you so I can check out this new gym.”
You blink. Midoriya… can… go with you? To the gym? Together? It takes your brain a moment to fully understand what Midoriya’s suggesting, but once it does, it rewards you with the mental image of him working out; lifting weights in an open side tank top that displays his upper arms in all of their well-toned glory while offering the slightest peek of his chest, his gaze intense, focused on the task at hand.
The sound of Midoriya calling your name snaps you back to reality right before your mind decides to script out an entire gym workout fantasy starring the one and only Izuku Midoriya.
“Oh, um, yeah! Sure!” you say a little too quickly. “Next weekend sounds great!”
He grins boyishly and you swallow thickly, convincing yourself that your neighbor is only interested in the shiny new exercise equipment and most definitely, certainly did not just ask you on a date.

it really does bother me how no one can seem to answer the question “what even is romantic attraction, really.” like some people are like “it’s who you wanna kiss and cuddle <3” and I’m like ok well kisses and cuddles can be either sexual or platonic depending on context. “It’s who you feel passion/desire/arousal for” well that just sounds like sexual attraction which you can have without even knowing somebody so I fail to see how that’s romantic. “It’s who you want to go on dates with” I go on dates with friends all the time plus “date” is a social construct anyway there’s really no innate difference between a date and hanging out. “it’s who you have deep feelings for” great news for you that can be literally any type of relationship. my friend told me she defined it as “who you wanna give roses to” and I’m like do u hear urself??? like the more I talk to people the more I’m convinced romance and romantic attraction is an elaborate socially fabricated illusion that has no real defining characteristics. and like there’s nothing Wrong with it being a constuct but why people are so attached to defending the supremacy of it is something I cannot for the life of me figure out

「The Pale Bat」
❗️Minor BG3 Spoiler Ahead❗️
Summary: Astarion encounters a small creature, and makes a decision.
Part 2
(Edited because I forgot a panel, oops, & also added some refinement)
Astarion finds a bat and saves it, because I said so.
I did it, I did the thing!! I drew the wonderful and wholesome idea that originated from this post made by @miraculan-draws :
I loved this post so much, I had to make it real, and I hope people might find this entertaining as well. There is no way Astarion would not see himself in a little white bat who desperately needed help. This is set after traveling with my Tav for a while, and Astarion has softened his edges enough to be a bit more gentle.
Thank you for posting this lovely concept, I might continue to draw more of this :)
