You gotta be tough if you're gonna be stupid. You can do stupid shit all you want but you're not going to avoid suffering consequences.

If you can't be tough, you gotta be nice. People can forgive a lot of stupidity if you're polite about it and pleasant to be around.

CLAMP are big on fate and destiny and, as you said, they have gone on record saying many of their characters are essentially soul bonded to each other. syaoran and sakura, touya and yukito, etc. in any universe if one appears the other won't be far behind, endlessly yet unknowingly drawn to their soul's counterpart.

but i actually think this is not the case for kurogane and fai. some have speculated before that the reason these two were so powerfully drawn together in the TRC-verse was that their own universe's counterpart had already died, and while i do think that's certainly a super interesting take, i think the idea of them not being soul bonded is actually more interesting?

because it would mean they were never actually meant to be together. no cosmic force pushed them toward one another, no preexisting bond bouyed those feelings. they were simply collateral damage of someone else's destiny. only there at the right time due to a twist of fate. an aberration. an accident. somebody mucking around with what was supposed to happen. but essentially it means that everything these two did regarding each other they did on purpose. deliberately.

in a way they created their own destiny, they bent fate to their will and said no, this one is mine. when kurogane put that sword to his own flesh he defied fate. this fai, our TRC fai, was a thrice cursed child; he was always meant to die. until kurogane said actually fuck that - what do we say to the god of death? not on my fucking watch. he changed his own destiny by force. a killing machine learns that the most powerful form of love is to protect? and uses that to take fate by the throat and tell it to fuck right off? fucking sublime. he chopped his own arm off and pulled the man he loved out of destiny's cage, thereby changing his own fate by choosing fai. deliberately and without hesitation.

and fai, in choosing life, in choosing love, in choosing kurogane, in choosing to let himself be loved, in choosing the life he made over his own towering guilt, self-loathing, and despair? he changed his own fate, too.

but if i may be so bold as to add to it?

what if it's both? what if they are soul bonded like all the other CLAMP pairs we know, but they are the ones who forged it? they are the first, the epicenter, the ones who took their hearts and souls and welded them together with such conviction and love and spite that the universe would never dare separate them again.

trc!KuroFai came together through every hardship there was to fight through and then some.. but we do, technically, see them elsewhere. they're side by side in Horitsuba. they're together again in the office AU (that i cannot for the life of me ever remember the name of). i think they would be together anywhere CLAMP put them going forward.

What do you think?

Pero por favor, it's ONE.

Yes, Saitama is changing, and it's beautifully in keeping with ONE's philosophy that people do not change all at once but little by little. These little changes between Saitama's experiences and actions in the webcomic and the manga are adding up.

I'm so happy to see Saitama feed his pets actual good food. He has not only listened to someone but actually enacted their recommendation. It builds up on so much, so many tiny little changes, like being willing to hear what King has to say to him about his actions and assumptions. Webcomic Saitama got told off for buying bottom-of-the-barrel dog food and he just blew it off and never changed a thing. Which is fitting -- no one gets to tell wc Saitama anything.

I'm happy to see Saitama better plugged into a social network, including already having been asked to lead a group, not immediately jumping to lead the Hero Name Victims Association, but instead consider it carefully and only commit once he's convinced it's right for him.

I'm happy to see Saitama worry about the welfare of his pets and whether they were frightened by the noise of the attack on the HA.

I've been happy to see Saitama temper his justified lecture of Tatsumaki with kindness and bridge the gap between her and the Fubuki group not by encouraging them to kick her when she's down but by telling her a bit about himself so she could extend some trust to them.

TODAY IS BATAROU DAY!! I'm drawing them so so so much. I love portraying Garou as a cat rather than a wolf; it's just cuter >.<

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

Fandom creators spend hours of their free time to create something to make fandom thrive...for free and for the love of the game.

And what do they get? A wholeass heap of fuck all. No reblogs, no comments, no nothing. And people are surprised that creators are dropping out left, right, and centre??

"Why is there no long fic anymore?" "Why did my favourite writer stop?" "Why is my favourite artist not posting anymore?"

I got asked this question every single day on this blog. and my answer will always stay the same: as long as it's fiction and as long as you're not hurting anybody in real life, NOTHING you put in fanfics can EVER be wrong.

you cannot apply real-world moral compass on FICTION.

YOU as the writer have complete and total right/freedom to write WHATEVER YOU WANT. HOWEVER YOU WANT.

that's the whole point of fanfics: authors have the power, control and freedom to create their own world. no matter how messed up or disgusting or morally wrong it is, FICTION WILL ALWAYS STAY FICTION. a person's real-life moral compass can never ever be judged by what type of fiction they create and/or consume.

fanfic is creative writing and creative writing is a form of art. and the thing about art is that it doesn't have to always be rainbow and sunshine. it can be macabre and dark and brutal and ugly. and it's still a work of art that is just as valid and valuable.

YOU as the writer have all the power, rights and freedom to literally write WHATEVER YOU WANT. HOWEVER YOU WANT.

I am a stranger. people on the internet are strangers. YOU as a fanfic writer write FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT. you do NOT need my opinion or permission when it comes to YOUR OWN HOBBY AND FREEDOM.

you do not need anybody's opinion or permission when it comes to YOUR OWN HOBBY AND FREEDOM.

"is it wrong to write xyz in fanfic" ask yourself if you are hurting anybody in real life by doing so or not. if the answer is no, then it is never ever wrong.

write whatever you want. however you want. no matter how messed up or disgusting or morally wrong it is. as long as it's fiction and as long as no one in real life is being harmed, it literally is never ever wrong.
