old post lost traction so i’m starting a brand new one with updates
hello! i’m vincent, biracial + nonbinary, 19, and currently living with a manipulative, alcoholic mother. i am currently in therapy thanks to limited medicaid, but i need help.
i suffer from severe adhd, ptsd, major depression, severe anxiety, bipolar II, and i recently found out that i am autistic. i know what you’re probably thinking: “isn’t autism usually diagnosed in really early years?” yes, in the ideal situation with a healthy family. unfortunately, my parents never took my to doctors/therapists regularly (i’m getting my first physical at 19 years old soon), so i’m basically figuring myself out all on my own to my mom’s dismay.
i have, unfortunately, had and lost six jobs (including my most recent one, mcdonalds, where i was discriminated against + had a manager steal money from me for a short cash register and be transferred to another store. i never recieved my money back.) pandemic aside, i have been fired from every job (food service) due to my high anxiety and inability to blend in with coworkers/managers. any attempt at having a savings has failed due to me eventually losing whatever job i manage to get. currently. i work as a bitesquad driver. but un-fucking-fortunately i am an independent contractor with them and only make tips. my car isn’t made for long trips, considering my gas and brake systems are failing, and right now in florida there’s a heat wave going on and my ac doesn’t, and has never, worked properly.
my mom’s drinking has grown worse since i moved in with her at 16, and infinitely bad since the pandemic started. she’s drunk pretty much every night, and being around her forces me to say very little so i can avoid being kicked out. i have no extended family, my dad left at 16, and i have had no friends in my city for about five years now.
i’m currently forcing myself to take online classes to, hopefully, obtain an office specialist certificate to become a secretary. while i should be able to have financial aid, it won’t last me long and i’m currently unable to log into the social security website of florida to check my disability application becase, “my social security number cannot be found.” (i called them, and the dude on the phone quite literally told me he doesn’t know how to help, so my therapist is trying to help me out.)
i can’t tell my mom about any money i am receiving, because she has threatened multiple times that i’m going to spend my own money to pay her bills. while i do pay for internet right now, it’s $100 a month, and you can imagine how making that money based solely on tips from delivery orders is going. the hospital that offers my therapy has a low income housing program, and i’m trying to apply (be added to the wait list,) but unfortunately the pandemic is slowing that process to a near halt.
while i’m not expecting anything major, if you are able to spare even a few dollars, i would greatly appreciate it until i can figure out why the fuck i’m not able to check disability benefits + earn my certificate in college. if you’d like more information on my situation or any clarification, please message me!
i also do writing commissions (bnha mainly, will negotiate any other fandoms! i do NOT write child x adult ships, abusive relationships, or nsfw.) 1000 words is $10, and each 100 word increase beyond that is an additional $1. i post works to archive of our own, unless requested otherwise.
thank you for reading, and even if you’re unable to donate, PLEASE share this post. liking it and leaving it will not help it be spread around. here are any links you may want to check out.
oh come on
yawara is not a joke, he is a trans man capable of wearing cutesy feminine stuff and not be ashamed of it. he is a proud member of the wild wild pussycats. do all transmasc characters have to be very manly for them not to be a joke or what?
magne is a transwoman that doesnt look very feminine. she has stubble and rough features, but regardless of that nobody misgenders her. not even villains. nobody cares if she is feminine or masculine, she is a woman and everyone respects that. hell her friends are even sad when she died. her being a villain is also something not transphobic because surprise! trans people are people, and people can be bad. also why r u saying that she’s dead as if it was because she’s trans? as i said, trans people are people, and people can die. it wasnt even because of transphobic reasons, she died because overhaul is a cunt. (also the lips stereotype isnt only for black people? regardless of that its still stupid. now you cant make a character with big lips?)
trans men dont owe anyone masculinity, trans women dont owe anyone femininity, same thing for trans characters.
god i hate this fandom
do you think horikoshi's level of "not giving a fuck" its high enough for making a canon gay couple? (ships aside)
Horikoshi is at least aware of LGBT rights based on this moment with Magne.
and based on him creating a canon trans character.
Horikoshi is a progressive writer and handles a lot of mature topics better than most shounen authors. He reminds me a little of Togashi, the shounen author of HunterxHunter. Togashi and his wife both support LGBT rights, and Togashi has made a prominent character trans, and there are a lot of characters in HunterxHunter whose sexuality or gender are shrouded in mystery. The reason why I think these two authors are so similar is because both handle sensitive material rather maturely and both have confirmed LGBT characters.
Plus, if Attack on Titan can have a canon gay couple, then Boku no Hero Academia should be able to get away with having a canon gay couple with time. LGBT rights keeps improving in Japan every year, and Boku no Hero Academia still has years to go before concluding. LGBT rights most likely will have lots of support years from now in Japan by the time the series ends. In fact, Japan has improved tremendously with LGBT rights already. The lives of the LGBT community has become better, there are more LGBT characters in Japanese media, the younger generation in Japan is especially supportive of LGBT individuals, and Japanese culture in general has become more LGBT-inclusive. In fact, a group of Japanese politicians just last week have formed a coalition for LGBT rights, and there are news of Japanese corporations becoming more LGBT-inclusive. Being gay in Japan is becoming less taboo everyday.
Hypothetically, let’s say Horikoshi wants to make Bakugou and Kirishima a canon gay couple, but Shounen Jump won’t allow it. If that’s the case, Horikoshi can simply give both Bakugou and Kirishima lots of intimate moments, make them follow a bunch of romance tropes, give them no other love interests, and even have them become life partners by the end of the series, leaving the romance of their relationship up to interpretation. That would be extremely close to having a canon gay couple without explicitly confirming it. Something similar to this happened with the main characters of the JRPG Tales of Zesteria.
I think it’s too easy and too simple to say there can never be a canon gay couple in Boku no Hero Academia just because it’s a shounen. People aren’t taking other factors into account. Horikoshi isn’t your standard shounen author. I’m not saying Horikoshi will create a canon gay couple because I don’t know what the hell he’ll do. I can’t make that kind of claim. I’m just saying it’s definitely possible.
This was a commission from @aizawasgays that I admittedly was way too excited to draw.
Context: Aizawa in his 20s showing off his top scars~ Listen, if there are two things I’m here for it is trans Aizawa AND positivity towards top scars and transitioning.
My commissions are still open! This one is a $15 sketch commission. :)
So much this.

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. between each time watch 3-5 other videos (mix it up) before restarting. this will ensure you aren’t marked as spam by youtube. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere but don’t mute the video itself. and let. it. play.
youtube will donate to blm for you.
