“Why do you have to make it gay! they’re like brothers! blah blah blah!”

specifically when it comes to bkdk. Like I can acknowledge that they aren’t canon, but horikoshi never made any ships canon. (aside from obvious ones like gentle and la brava, parents, etc etc.)

I like izuocha don’t get me wrong, but in the end they each had other people on their mind. Yes, there were implications of love. But it was largely one sided, and stopped really developing when they both got more invested in their respective blonds.

Bkdk was never implied to be brotherly, or even platonic. What they have transcends both of those dynamics. Whether that morphs into romance is up to interpretation.

So when you’re like “i don’t like bkdk, it’s just another desperate gay ship” it doesn’t make sense. You either are copy and pasting random opinions you got from tiktok, or you’re homophobic. (yes this applies to gay people with this opinion, internalized homophobia is a thing)

We get so little representation in media that we have to make our own, and that’s okay. It’s not like someone else enjoying their gay headcanon will make your straight headcanon any less valid.

And this applies to other ships that people fight about. In mha and outside it.

can everyone just enjoy their weirdos kissing art and get on with life?

(ofc doesn’t apply to illegal or weird ships)

you’re valid. Your disability isn’t because you’re fat, weight does not equal health, and using mobility aids does not make you look lazy.

I still have a hard time as a fat and disabled person, mostly feeling like using my mobility aids makes it look like i’m just being lazy by not losing weight.

But even when you have extra weight on your bones, chronic pain isn’t normal.

Mobility aids have given me the ability to move my body more, and work on losing fat and gaining muscle in order to support my joints.

Being fat and disabled doesn’t mean you’re lazy. You know yourself better than anyone. No stranger can look at you and immediately know the whole story. And if they assume they can, that’s on them.

AN THE CLOSER I GET TO YOU THE MORE THAT I SHOULD MOVE AWAY

I WANT TO BE THE WIND IN YOUR SAIL

BUT ILL SETTLE FOR BEING YOUR ASHTRAY
