Dabihawks post-war, Hawks coming to visit Touya in the hospital, as he does every day, running into the todo-bros.
Natsu: you guys used to date!?
Hawks:(confused af, turning to dabi) used to? When did we break up?
Dabi: Kei we tried to kill eachother, multiple times.
Hawks: and? Our first kiss was when I was holding a sword to your throat about to blow the mission because of how pissed I was at you.
Dabi:(grossly affectionate) and you'd never looked hotter.
Shoto: gross
Hawks: this relationship is built on passion, murderous or romantic is a toss up.
anyone who thinks shouto todoroki is a sweet loving guy to everyone he meets needs to know he would call you a slur. he wouldnāt even think twice about it. you get in the way of him, his friends, or his ability to get food? slur. fuck you
I finally found it. The most memorable writing tip Iāve ever found. Use it well.
"āListen,ā Henry is saying, heated, over the phone on a Thursday night. āI donāt give a damn what Joanne has to say, Remus John Lupin is gay as the day is long, and I wonāt hear a word against it.ā"
He's right and he should say it!

alright look since people donāt seem to understand why maladaptive daydreaming is a big deal hereās a grand list of some of the reasonsĀ why.
first off: yes, you little babies, maladaptive daydreamingĀ isĀ often characterized by:
zoning out
āsnapping backā to reality
which is often followed by mild alarm and confusion likeĀ āwhat where am i what am i doing whats going onā
seeking emotional satisfaction in daydreams that you didnāt get from real life
itās often developed due to childhood isolation, not having a lot of friends, having too much time to yourself as aĀ youngling
yep also those bless-ed long car rides
being deeply comforted by music and/or alone time because it means yay daydreaming time
intricate stories that exist inside vivid imaginary worlds (called paracosms) with their own highly developedĀ ācharactersā (which are called paras, and i hope youāre taking notes)Ā
constantly looking for anĀ āescapeā so you can daydream
repetitive motions to stimulate daydreams such as swinging on a swingset, bouncing up and down, pacing, spinning, etc.
an idealized version of yourself through whose eyes you live out these daydream stories (called parames, like para-meā¦)
BUT!!!! but but but but but butĀ (and this is the stuff y'all seem to constantly be forgetting/overlooking/not taking seriously) maladaptive daydreaming is also characterized by:
deep and dependent emotional attachments to paras such as intimate friends, lovers, family, and pets thatĀ donāt exist
deep guilt due to favoring paras overĀ āreal lifeā (called thisverse)Ā people
a phobia that you will never be able to care about people in thisverse and will therefore be a terrible lover/spouse/parent, etc.
trancelike states where you lose time anywhere between a few minutes to several hours straight without even realizing it until youāve returned to reality
maladaptive daydreaming steals so. much. time.
withdrawal-like effects if you donāt daydream for a long time (even a day), such as shaking, nausea, agitation, aggression, breakdowns, etc.
you donāt control your daydreams, they do whatever they want to, they are invasive, intrusive, and often unwanted
intense absorption, so when the daydream is exciting you will get an adrenaline rush and your blood gets hot and starts to rush and you sweat and breathe weird and see red and your heart rate goes up. when the daydream is depressing you will cry with realĀ tears and your limbs actually feel heavy
it steals an incredible amount of energy
daydreams are often violent, sexual, and/or disturbing
difficulty focusing, high anxiety
paranoia caused by a feeling that youāre under observation
compulsive behavior (like,Ā āi haveĀ to pace right nowā even when your feet feel like theyāre broken⦠Iāve often been afraid to look down because i thought i might see blood but i couldnāt stop walking even when it hurt so much that i started crying)
sleeplessness, insomnia, nightmares
suicidal thoughts and tendencies (āmaybe if i die, iāll be with my parasā,Ā āi canāt take it anymoreā)
feeling uncomfortable in your body/with your identity (i often have trouble recalling my real name because iām so used to be myĀ parameās name, i avoid mirrors because i expect to see my parameās face and it always catches me off guard)
weight loss or weight gain
appetite loss or appetite gain
dissociation andĀ āout of bodyā experiences
avoidance and the death of your social life
not being able to feel anything either neg or pos aboutĀ āreal lifeā things because youāre only concerned with your paracosms
speaking the dialogue out loud or whispering, acting out daydreams
i have seriously been asked if iām possessed when i got caught daydreaming
it is so painful and so detrimental and it makes our lives difficult, it is notĀ ācuteā, it is notĀ ālol relatableā, it Ā is notĀ ācreativeā, and it is notĀ āfakeā
