on 23 June a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit Mexico with its epicenter in Oaxaca, where there is a predominant indigenous demographic. the majority of the damage occurred in indigenous pueblos that are still curently recovering from the devastating earthquake that happened 3 years ago. these same indigenous communities are also simultaneously experiencing displacement due to COVID 19 and lack of government aid. these are places that have the most vulnerability and need the most direct action and attention in recovery and aid.

hello.
I have been in the bsd fandom since last year. The first few months of being here were really fun I can say. However, lately, I've been seeing extremely toxic people who comes at content creators in the fandom and attacking them just for simply shipping skk. I've been following a lot of bsd au writers and these days, their ccs are composed of messages saying they are reducing this character to something, which the writers never said or claimed. There's also another issue regarding some people who were attacking asagiri-sensei just because of his socks. Then another reason for attacking him is because of skk. This is outright disrespectful to the author. Everything that's happening in this fandom is very disturbing honestly. If I remember it clearly, one of my fave au writers here left the fandom after being harassed by fans who were unhappy of the fic they wrote. And the remaining writers here might also leave once they're tired of this shithole including asagiri-sensei.
You know, I don't understand how people not know how to keep themselves away from contents they don't like and not attack persons just for having different views or simple headcanons. If you don't agree with what they say, you can simply block them, no need to harass people. We're talking about BSD. A fiction. An anime. A light novel. A manga. It's composed of morally grey characters and it's peak FICTION. You can ship whoever you want. You can make your own headcanons. You can make fanarts of characters you like. You can write fics of them with whatever plot you have in your drafts. It shouldn't be an issue at this point. And to others who feel uncomfortable of their contents, just block them. Easy. Do not go harassing them just because it doesn't fit your own narrative. It's not like what everything they make reflects their views in the real world come on.
I don't want to make this a long message so i hope that if you're reading this you get my point.
I hate seeing unhealthy disagreements about bsd and its fans. It's unappealing and really just plain annoying.
We're all here to have our share of fun so let others have theirs.
That's all. Please have some respect.
Bowser revolution, either the best or the worst that can happen to you in Mario party

ive seen people say that will was insensitive and too demanding when it came to nico not sharing enough with him, which strikes me as an odd complaint, because he had multiple moments throughout the book of reassuring nico that he doesn’t have to talk about painful topics, and nico appreciating that but insisting he’s ready to share:
There was the one moment where will snapped at nico by saying “(i don’t know what you’ve been through) because you won’t tell me!” but this came up because nico was expecting will to be sensitive about things he didn’t know of, which is a point of growth for nico in the book.
will never pressures or guilts nico into sharing more than he wants to! but at the same time, he can only be sensitive and responsive to nico’s trauma if nico talks to him about it. nico learns to adjust his expectations of will AND he gets to a point of being more confident and comfortable opening up to him. it’s a nice arc for their relationship development that’s worth appreciating
Nico and Will really have terrible luck with canoe dates, don't they?
Not only this but also the fact that while we celebrate the representation made by this big monopoly corporations, the work made by the people they are supposed to represent still flops.
to be honest i feel like discussions about Representation need to come second to discussions about dissolving corporate media monopolies. i don’t care how diverse the characters in a show are if the system in place still demands that art has to be palatable for the masses and filtered thru a corporate assembly line just to exist. its crazy. its craaazy how far people will go to defend the honor of corporate media. i guarantee whatever Creatives are responsible for the representation in your favorite piece of corporate media could have made something better, realer, and more valuable if they didn’t have to sanitize their shit for the mass market. i guarantee there are a million people out there who would make stuff you would love but the fact that media is treated as a product and not an art form means theyll never get a chance to do anything at all.

“nico nodded, then looped his arm around will’s shoulder, pulling him in so that will’s head came to rest on nico's sternum…[and] will drifted off to sleep to the calming rise and fall of nico's breathing.”
Here's my piece for labrys bang for oniifans' fic, I don't think I've ever drawn so many characters together but it was fun.
