Just wanted to share some shockingly good news in these difficult times. The full article is really worth reading. [Find it here]
I don't know who the fuck censored "hell" in that last image, but it sure as shit wasn't me. What is this, 3rd grade internet?
heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.
why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.
ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.
they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.
so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".
of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.
and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.
my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.
it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.
now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.
people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Pretend like each fanfic author has a praise kink and you’re domming them with a comment
Why yes, I will reblog this chain-post, attention grab, thank you!
So much this. The bully/their victim ship is by far my least favorite dynamic.
Olay! Question, what's your least favorite Ship Dynamic or just ship for any fandom(s) you read for? Mine for MHA is anything with Endeavor, cannot stand that man
/POS
say it with me now lads: BAKUDEKU
but other than that, yeah i also hate any endeavor ship ahsjdk i dont think there's a specific ship dynamic i hate? except for the specific bully/victim ship where they portray it as healthy/the bully is using physical violence to get their attention and flirt and the victim for some reason understands that and is okay with it??? like!! ughhh the specific way some people write abusive relationships and then get mad at others for saying hey, that behavior is abusive ahsjdf
Dear Employment Jelly, please get me a good job in a Blue State ASAP. It was scary enough here, and it’s about to get scarier soon.
For some reason this felt relevant 🤷♂️
"who knows what they still do on tumblr"
us:
Omg if Present Mic were to convince Izuku to give him OFA because it was hurting him, the hurt/no comfort potential would be through the roof, since it would quickly start killing Present Mic since he’s not quirkless. Then would Izuku get Present Mic to give it back, or would Mic take it to his grave? Trauma either way!
can't stop thinking about izuku being traumatized by the violently explosive way OFA manifested and getting bad panic attacks every time he tried to use it in the future. there are literally So Many directions it could gooo i can't stop thinking about ittttt
OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Omg I’m so excited!! I’m about halfway through the light novel, but the Webtoon is so good and I love what I’ve read. I can’t wait for more people to discover this!

100% this and so much more.
Hey, I was wondering what your opinions/feelings about bakugo were?
No stress to answer he’s kind of a bleugh character to me, me makes me ):. And I always enjoy reading about people’s different opinions on different characters. So I was wondering about yours.
oh my god.... its been long enough since the last time i've made a bakugo bashing post that i now have followers who don't even know.....
i apologize for my failure, beloved anon, here's a short summary of my issues with bakugo and why i hate him:
bakugo is, canonically, a bully. He explicitly harasses multiple people he considers weaker than him, not just Midoriya. (Though, ofc, as the POV character, Midoriya's treatment is the one we see the most often, and is by far the worst offender.) I do not like bullies. I do not like reading about them, and I find these characters pretty difficult to sympathize with, especially since we SEE the active fear and pain he puts midoriya through in incredible detail multiple times.
bakugo actively makes the character writing of everyone else in MHA worse just by existing. Every time he screams at someone, hurts them, or is generally an asshole and no one else around him comments on it or does anything to stop it (they way absolutely all of them should!! Some people have the legal responsibility to intervene, like the adults and teachers, some are characterized as hating bullies like kirishima, and all the other students are the type of people who would want to become heroes and help people/stop violence... so they should absolutely be taking these opportunities to help people and stop violence) they become accomplices and enablers. Standing by and watching and laughing it off as "there goes bakugo again" while people are Physically Hurt. As a side note, i think if it wasnt for bakugo (and the many instances of Aizawa not stepping in to stop him from hurting people) is why we see so much aizawa-bashing, because it paints him and all his other actions in a bad light. similarly, this negatively affects just about every other characterization we see, making everyone else look dumb as a brick at best and actively enabling bakugo at worst.
while there are some parts of MHA that are genuinely funny, most of the attempts at comedy are bad attempts at slapstick, specifically centered around bakugo hurting people. besides the fact that i just dont find a bully unapologeticly hurting people and facing no consequences funny, my issues with this are mostly outlined in the point above, but also the one below, because of-
bakugo's terrible "redemption arc". he starts out as a cruel, selfish, arrogant bully. ideally, if we were trying to redeem him, we'd want to slowly work to break down those traits over time and have specific instances where we show him treating people differently than he would've at the start of the story, and then make that change consistent? seems pretty obvious, right? well, apparently not, because the narrative loooves to giving him Big Emotional Moments (esp centered on/with midoriya which PISSES ME OFF LEAVE MY BOY ALONE*) and insist that hes such a changed person... and then cut to him beating people up for a gag. and like, yeah, i know the gags arent supposed to be taken seriously, but they are still actual moments that happen in canon after the point where his character arc would've needed him to grow past that behavior.
which brings me to my next point: the narrative has no idea what it wants to do with bakugo. it seems pretty clear to me that at first, bakugo was intended to be the horrible childhood bully that midoriya eventually grew stronger than and moved past- a character for midoriya to pit himself against, compare himself to, and eventually leave behind. but then for some reason i will quite literally Never understand, bakugo began consistently topping fan favorite polls, and then the writer was forced to give him a more active role (either that, or his role wasn't particularly well thought-out in the first place). now hes stuck in limbo, flip-flopping between "comedic relief", shoe-horned in emotional moments, and even more shoe-horned in moments where he gets to step up and save the day so the bakugo stans have cool moments for their fan edits.
side note- IM SO TIRED OF THE WHOLE STORY BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO KISS BAKUGO'S ASS. he has plot armor thicker than a BUILDING, his actions are constantly excused and explained away, and his "character arc" is a constant stream of whiny "me me me". "i thought i was the best, so why was i the one to kill all might??" BECAUSE YOURE A DUMBASS GTFO
*and also, HE CONSTANTLY PUTS HIS ISSUES ON MIDORIYA, and the narrative encourages it and puts the responsibility for solving bakugo's issues, forgiving bakugo, teaching him better, ON MIDORIYA, HIS VICTIM!!! oh my god i hate that so much it makes me want to SCREAM
and then there's the issue of fandom stuff. tbh, i didnt hate bakugo nearly this much when i first read MHA. it was only after seeing fans constantly glorifying him, sweetening his relationship with midoriya into something it very much was NOT and refusing to acknowledge that their version of it wasn't canon, shipping them and refusing to acknowledge a bully/victim or abuser/past abuse victim ship is unhealthy (and dont get me wrong, i love unhealthy ships! and i really don't care if people like ships or characters that i don't! but people would/did genuinely get pissed and treat people like idiots for pointing out that that dynamic is unhealthy, instead glorifying it and refusing to acknowledge that they can enjoy something in fiction that wouldnt be good in real life), and just consistently having bakugo content shoved down my throat every time i interact with any sort of fandom space, no matter how many tags i block and how much i try to avoid it, which is genuinely really frustrating and makes it hard to interact with larger MHA fan spaces. but all of that isnt really fair bc its not about canon or how bakugo was written, just my personal experience
this is not meant to be a comprehensive meta analysis or anything!! this is just what i can think of off the top of my head. i have more posts on this subject but tumblr search function is Terrible and i cant find any of them ahsjdkf
I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Series: Part 1 of The Dadeye Chronicles
Summary:
What if Sir Nighteye didn't die after the battle with Overhaul? Given the chance to live and make up for his poor behavior towards Izuku, how does he respond to learning how many people have treated Izuku so poorly? He does what any hero would do, he comes up with a plan to make sure that justice is served, and then executes it. “My boy, you single handedly defeated perhaps the strongest villain in Japan, saved Eri, and broke the chains of fate. There’s no one else who can do what you’ve done, and I promise you that I won’t stop working until you and everyone else recognize what an incredible hero you are.” Nighteye let his curiosity get the best of him, and looked into Izuku’s eyes and activated his quirk, attempting to peer into Izuku’s future. He almost lost concentration and stopped his quirk when he realized he was seeing Izuku’s fight with Overhaul play out in his mind rather than seeing into the future. ‘That’s never happened before.’ Nighteye focused and tried to look further ahead, but instead his vision moved further into the past.
Seriously. I’m going to be so upset if Izuku becomes quirkless again at the end of the story. Knowing Horikoshi he’ll probably make Bakugou the number one hero too in an epilogue just to rub salt in the wound.
Finally read the last chapter and this better be a "Let go of OFA because your own version of AFO is about to show up" moment.
Are there any fics where Katsuki is related to Muscular? There absolutely need to be if there are not. I never thought about it before, but it makes to much sense.

Neighbors to Lovers Prompts
The apartment she moved to has a beautiful, well-tended garden. After a while she finds out that her neighbor is the one tending to the plants and she decides to help him out one day.
One neighbor is an actor, playing out dramatic scenes, but the walls are so thin that their neighbor thinks they are in trouble and tries to rescue them.
This cute person runs around the neighborhood every morning and their neighbor has a crush on them and decides to start going on runs themself.
Their neighbor's dog has an obsession with them, even if they are in a different part of town, suddenly this big fluffy thing is coming up, trying to lick their face.
Construction workers dug up a bomb that didn't go off in the world war, which means that everyone has to evacuate their buildings and spent the night in a school gym. That gives them the chance to get to know their neighbors better.
They asked their neighbor to water their plants while they were gone and the neighbor keeps sending them selfies of them with the plants, and when they come back the plants look much healthier than before.
When they are having a barbecue in their garden with their friends and family, it only feels right to invite the new neighbor over.
One of them getting a new dog, leads to two neighbors going on walks with their dogs twice a day together.

Series: Part 2 of Plunder Bunny AU
Summary:
Shouta was a man on a mission, he had to find the lead singer of the band he saw on Saturday night so he could propose to him. If only he didn't have to deal with Nezu making him teach with the Number 3 Pro Hero Dekiru. Spotlight heroes are the freaking worst!
---
“So I was thinking about where you should take me for dinner after I win…” Dekiru started. Shouta was going to ignore the obvious provocation, but there was something different about the hero’s voice. It lacked the distortion effect from the mask. Shouta let his curiosity get the better of him and looked over at the hero, wanting to see the look on his actual face when Shouta told him exactly where he’d be eating dinner tonight, only to be struck dumb by what he saw. He said the only thing that came to mind, and ended up saying it three times before he finally found the words to say anything else.
“Oh… fuck me.” He’s so hot!
“Oh. Fuck me! Oh crap, I just lost!
“Oh! Fuck me.” OMG I called the man of my dreams a circus monkey and told him to quit working with me!
whats your Aizawa and the consequences of doom? I can somewhat guess what it's about but I don't know what your take on it is.
The Aizawa/consequences of doom AU is a fic where Izuku is expelled on his first day for ranking last in the Quirk Apprehensiok Test. A week later, he realizes that Aizawa rigged the exam to make sure he would rank last despite the fact that Izuku is fit.
Izuku, who is under a lot of stress (I might have given him the impression that, as soon as he is back from his impromptu trip to I-Island, All Might is going to take OFA back) promptly decides to burn Aizawa's life to the ground.
He's so freaking cute. I think I like Pink or Baby Blue Izuku best.

Has anyone seen any fics where Izuku has La Brava's 'Love' quirk (or something very similar)? I think it'd make for an amazing premise.
Bakugo can still have an antagonistic relationship with Izuku because he hates the idea that Izuku might be giving him extra power and feels like Izuku's 'Love' means he thinks he's weak.
Izuku would still get into UA, maybe they have a 'Support' category or they let students apply as duos/teams (just like pro hero teams), and you could have Izuku providing emotional and quirk support to someone who needs it, like Shinsou, Shoto, Monoma, or Denki.
Then by the Sports Festival, Izuku comes into his own power as he learns to love himself, and in the Sports Festival he defeats Bakugo to win the whole thing, as his quirk stops powering up Bakugo and he finally accepts that he deserves to love himself.
