Me at 17: “god I can’t wait to go home and read fanfic”

Just be aware that a bill has been introduced in Oklahoma’s state senate (SB 593) that would make writing/publishing/owning an explicit romance book a felony.

So, when you come on here to espouse your “anti pro-ship” nonsense, or moan about how hard it is to find fics/art/books that aren’t “smutty” — know that this is the effect. You are being used as mouthpieces to help feed and perpetuate censorship. There is no room for censorship in fiction because it will never stop at what you deem morally “right”. It is about control and the restriction of speech. Your discomfort with sex in media does not make it wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean you get to advocate for its restriction.

Your solution to “protecting children” should not be banning books. Banning books is lazy parenting. Authoritarian parenting is lazy parenting.

After Israeli social media shared these videos and they got viral, they tried claiming these men were hamas members, THEY ARE NOT. They're civilians who were displaced with their families in shelters before Israeli soldiers abducted them.

Families are recognizing their brothers/fathers/grandfathers and sons by the videos shared here. They already executed a number of them.

prompt list by: @novelbear

"are you crazy? they're not my type, you know that."

"i don't have time for a relationship." "that has nothing to do with anything i just said. like at all."

"they're annoying as hell, no i don't have feelings for them."

"i honestly don't even know who you could possibly be referring to."

"what if i told you i said those types of things about everyone? then what?" "i would really hope you didn't. oh god."

"i do not want to see their face, hear their voice or their name for that matter. stop talking about them."

"what gave you that idea?"

"why does everybody keep saying that?"

"it's just been a while since i've had a close friendship like this, that's all."

"no.....no."

"i wasn't blushing! it was hot out." "it is literally snowing outside as we speak are you joking."

"i don't even like them like that i don't know what you mean."

"i'd do that for anyone!"

"flirting? me? i wouldn't say i was."

"cut it out, i'm tired of hearing you guys tease me about this."

"that's not true, where did you hear that from?"

"they're just a friend. that's all."

"we've been friends since we were little, we're practically siblings! no!"

"love?! you think i'm in love?"

So let’s begin. We have 4 types of people here than can be placed into two groups. Refusal and acceptance.

Izuku - refuses to accept his feelings

Toga - refuses to let go of her feelings

Ochako - decided to let go of her feelings

Katsuki - decided to accept his feelings

So Izuku and Toga parallel each other in a sense that one refuses to let go and the other refuses to accept their feelings.

But then Katsuki and Ochako also parallel each other because one decided to let go and the other to accept their feelings.

So the refusal (Izuku and Toga) parallel the acceptance (Ochako and Katsuki).

So Katsuki and Ochako are doing it right and they have to teach the other two how to do so as well.

Ochako is going to teach Toga how to let go of her feelings.. but Katsuki will teach Izuku how to accept his!

Both Izuku and Toga are going to the opposite ends of extremes and it’s absolutely not healthy for either of them. But they have people by their sides (Katsuki and Ochako) who know very well how to handle these same feelings and will help them out.

Also! Toga and Ochako parallel each other in that they didn’t fall for Izuku, but for a temporary version of him.

Toga fell for Izuku berated and covered in blood back in Kamino.. but this isn’t who he always is and it’s a temporary thing. It’s basically her version of Izuku. Something she wishes him to be.

Much like how Ochako fell for DEKU and not Izuku.. but Izuku isn’t always the hero Deku. And Ochako realised this.

Neither of them loves IZUKU.

KATSUKI loves Izuku. It’s why I love the significance of Katsuki calling him by his first name now that he’s accepted his feelings.
