I Dont Consider Myself A 'fashion Guru' By Any Means But One Thing I Will Say Is Guys You Dont Need To

No matter how bnha ends, I'm grateful that I became invested because it brought me joy, and it gifted me the euphoric experience of getting to know one of my favorite characters ever: Touya Todoroki, Dabi. I will always love him, and he will always have a special place in my heart. Nothing can change that or take that away from me. Shouto, too. The soba brothers are eternal to me.

It's so typical of me to be drawn to the mysterious, cold, brooding characters, haha. Shouto and Dabi immediately captured my attention when I first watched/read bnha with @fox-conscious. I took a break from following the series for a few years until November 2020, when I casually logged into Tumblr after months of not checking and saw chapter 290 Dabi's Dance leaks. It must have been fate. Suddenly, I was fully immersed in the manga again, excited that the obvious familial connection between my two favorites was officially confirmed. This reveal reignited my excitement and gave me something to focus on and look forward to during a challenging first semester in grad school, when I was on the cusp of realizing I needed professional help for my eating disorder.

To deal with the stress and have fun, I turned to reading and writing meta, and trying to make friends to share the experience with. That's the most important thing that has come from following this series... I've met so many incredible people who mean a lot to me:

@haleigh-sloth has become a really dear and close friend of mine. We met because of this manga and bonded over crepes, breakfast foods, pasta or ramen dinners, shopping at the mall, swimming in the river, walking her dogs, sleepovers, traveling, and road trips because of our shared love of the characters and story. We are basically the same person and constantly say the same things at the same time. Through the ups and downs of school, work, moving, and even now, we've always had each other's backs and shared countless moments of laughter and ugly cackling because we can't take shit seriously, ever. She's one of my best friends for life and I can't imagine NOT having her around!

@todomitoukei was one of the first friends I made in this fandom. I can always count on her to make the funniest jokes I've ever heard, especially during a completely serious conversation, and I'm astounded how smart, quick-witted, and talented she is. Truly an inspiration. I always look forward to seeing notifications that she messaged me because she brightens my day <3

I've had the great pleasure of meeting and hugging @hamliet TWICE! She has a generous heart and an inviting, calm aura. Her kindness and intelligence are remarkable. I genuinely enjoy discussing all sorts of topics with her, both silly and serious: life, hopes and dreams, fears and daily struggles, funny memes, reading and writing. I also love seeing her pet photos and can't wait to meet them in the future.

@transhawks is truly my most insane friend, and I say that lovingly and in the most ironic way because he's level-headed, creative, articulate, and self-aware. I'm always learning from him. I can talk to him for hours and never run out of things to say, and I always look forward to his insightful commentary about anything and everything.

And of course, I'm grateful for all the discord shenanigans with my friends: watching the anime together, voice calls, memes, sharing ideas, etc. @chocolate-biscuit who always pops into the chat with funny one-liners that leave me cackling for days when they flash in my head randomly, @bootlickerhawks who is the bestest horse person ever and I get excited to see on my dash, @helga-grinduil who is the saltiest and funniest person on this hellsite and also happens to make the best bnhaedits in this entire fandom, @jecook who is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and can't wait to read fix-it fics from, @mettywiththenotes who sends cute dog pictures and makes the most hilarious memes. Together we are all unhinged, and I love it. Despite living in different time zones, different counties, we've all create a fun space to cohabitate, and I think that's really cool and beautiful.

Hmm. Looks like the real treasure was the friends I made along the way, and the shared trauma of having our favorite characters mishandled by their creator was worth it. Can't wait to keep writing fics, making memes, and making new friends like @shortstrawberryshake because of this manga. And, I can't wait to keep loving Touya and Shouto Todoroki, of course <3

comic from forever ago

As a fandom, we have to acknowledge that Akaashi is weirder than Bokuto.

Celebrate the ceasefire, but please ..

Don't unlearn all that you now know about the crimes of Israel

Don't forget about the stolen land of Palestine

Don't stop your financial aids and contributions in sharing links and stories! They will all the help they can get! Thousands have no homes now. Thousands still need medical attention.

Don't stop pressuring your country to stop funding Israel

Don't stop boycotting those who support Israel

This is still an occupation. There's freedom to fight for

this is the funniest thing I’ve read in my LIFE

“sorry reo, in the end wanting to be the world’s best wasn’t as strong a feeling as my fear of BEING SEPARATED FROM YOU.”

i am literally crying bro, nagi really just wanted to be with reo forever and play football. the endless apologies and reo saying not to apologize as SOON as nagi was abt to say sorry for breaking their promise. SHUUTUUT UPP😭😭😭 not strong enough for this lord

after nagi’s river of apologies… then reo apologies for everything… THEN NAGI SAYING HE WAS HAPPY BEING BY HIS SIDE WHATTTT. the tear drop on the grass with them reflected on it is insane… and the speech bubbles being all wobbly for reo’s words can’t do this no more ,,, voy a gritar :)

bro also reo looks so beautiful crying what sorry- heartbreaking tho…

the icing on the cake was nagi calling his time with reo the treasure of his life. the flashbacks … omg the flashbacks literally they cannot be separated from each other they need each other so so so bad… nagi holding his wrist not his gloved hand BYEEEE. Too Many Tears came out this chapter it is actually devastating wow.

deadass left my lecture at school cause i was literally crying reading this . these two have such a HARD EFFECT ON ME DONTTALKTOME and i still crying.

Now the ceasefire has been breached and there are a large number of martyrs and wounded. Blood is everywhere.

If you don't like getting queerbaited watch something with actual gay people like shounen anime
