Trickster's Tell Truths Too

Part 2 of the bnha actor au 📽

This is what the Deku and Kirishima one is based off of

In 2014 a guy was killed in a hit and run. His name was Gunnar. A little strange. Bit of a dealer, if you get what I mean, from what I remember. His mother actually sold my family their old home - I sleep in his old room. I have those little lines on my closet door frame with his height and age.

A woman had hit him while drunk and didn’t stop. I think it took about a day to find him? He was in a ditch so it was difficult for anyone to see him while driving. All sad, don’t drink and drive, don’t stand by a road at night in dark colors, yada yada.

The police had all of the evidence within a month or so? Like her boyfriend called them and was like “ Yo, I think my girl hit some body, cause my car is really fucked up and there’s a bit of blood and she won’t tell me what she hit, soo... ya know.” Which, good guy, her family hates him now, but good guy.

But it took three years for her to actually be trialed. Three years in which she walked around free without even her license being taken except for a month or so. She kept drinking and driving. Kept partying. Denied being in any way or form apart of the H&R for three years.

Until the trial was finally there and then she was pleading guilty the second she was in the courtroom.

Three years of waiting for Gunnar’s Momma just for a two hour long trial. 10 years in prison, with a chance of parole after serving about a quarter of her sentence. 

Her life was rough. She was dealing with issues. She was responsible for not stopping to check what she hit, and that was her only mistake. She should be free because she had suffered enough since the incident. They said, they said.

She killed a man. Took away a son from a mother who is still broken over it. She had three years of freedom after it. Two days before Christmas, she hit him two days before Christmas. 

And pretty much everybody who knew Gunnar is convinced that the reason why he was out on that road at that time and that she was driving down it when it was pretty far out of her way home was because she was going to buy some from him.

Was rewatching “Lucky in Love” just for the Kwan subplot (like I usually do tbh lol) and I just couldn’t resist capturing some of my fave moments from these two in particular~ ;>

SUH dudes~

They’ve been in the country 5 fucking days ok not even a week. And it started a few days ago when some people Snapchatted them leaving HEAPS of rubbish behind at Takapuna beach (one of the most expensive suburbs in the country) and people were like “hey can you pick that up” and the family got real aggressive about it including this kid who could not have been more than 5 being like “ill bash ya fookin head in m8” and this was ALL over Facebook and allegedly they were all drunk too

Then later this same family was pulled over for their kids not being in proper car seats, so they got taken to the dpt store to buy some, no biggie, but u know the connection was made that this is the same family from earlier in the week.

Then yesterday the police got called in Hamilton to a Burger King where the SAME FAMILY is like, harassing staff and demanding free food, trying to walk through the drive thru and even after police were called it took like an hour to get them to leave

Now one of the woman has been arrested for robbing some sunglasses and soft drinks or something from a gas station ehdhfgrhejehehhs

Hey, how’s it going over there.  I’m Chelsea, and I’m so very pissed off right now. Why? Because I just saw an anon who’d been fat-shamed out of cosplaying…by their friend.  Yeah, you heard me.  And that PISSES. ME. OFF.

Why, you may ask?  Allow me to explain:  I’m 5′8″ and 177 lbs currently.  In American terms: REALLY overweight.

Here I am for base reference, wearing a bikini because fuck you, that’s why.

I’m not skinny.  I’ve got thunder thighs, and a belly, and arm flab, and holy hell, do I have a butt.  Guess what?  I cosplay anyway!!  Four years and counting.  I’ve also spoken on panels about cosplay for beginners, body positivity in the cosplay community, and more.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

Still not skinny.  And I’m sexy as fuck to boot.  In face, in the last two, I’m wearing a damn corset.

See this one?

The older woman I’m standing with?  She’s the woman who designed the ORIGINAL costume for the show, and she came up to me to ask for pictures.  She gave no fucks about my size.

Here, have some more:

In case any of you missed the point of this photo dump, it’s this:  Size does not, ever, determine what you can or cannot cosplay.  Not ability level, not disabilities, not race, not gender, not size.  If someone says you can’t cosplay something or other because you’re not the perfect representation, you know what you do?  You wear the costume with pride anyway, because it took motherfucking work, and you strut past those losers with your middle fingers fully erect.  Chances are, they will be in civies, rather than costume, which makes them all the more pathetic in my opinion.  They can’t do it themselves, so they tear down anyone who does.

FUCK. THEM.

And if it’s a friend who says those things to you?  Then they are not your friends, and you need to get away from them.  Friends are supportive and encouraging, and will love you regardless of what you look like.  People who don’t, or who tell you that you can’t because you look a certain way?  Are not.

You can do this.  You are beautiful, no matter what you look like, what you weigh, or anything else.  You can do this, and you should.   It’s people like you, who have such courage and such fierce pride, that make the cosplay community so rich.
