On November 21, 2019, I Had Written In My Diary, "I Wish To Glow Up".

On November 21, 2019, I had written in my diary, "I wish to glow up".

Watching girls that look like the soft winter snow falling like breadcrumbs, with faces that would put Aphrodite to shame- I wanted that; hair flowing like the quiet river when it's about to meet the sea- I wanted that. Because all my life I was taught to want that.

The magazine covers that lay around, stacked on top of each other in the drawers of my heart, had these women. The movies that I was in love with, advertisements and billboards, made me feel like I was stuck in the hour, physically so far- could never meet the bar. I saw myself as a ruin, a battlefield of scars, an abandoned city- yet filled with ghosts. A city that badly needed reconstruction.

So I took the 'before' photos because we have learned to divide life into pieces- before this and after that, as if life is big enough to be divided. And every Monday I said to myself, now is when you begin, start now. But I could never be like those girls- girls that feel like the morning dew, like sunshine breaking through the forest, those girls that fall like the soft winter snow. I was still the city, the ghost town that badly needed reconstruction.

But, did they ever teach you about the ruins of Giza, Coloseum and Konark, how the Great Wall is falling apart but is still Great? Tell me how beautiful the river looks when it's slashing through the mountains, not caring for beauty or grace, how her conviction is what makes her beautiful. Or how Aphrodite was never really the goddess of beauty. All she believed in was love and her love is what made her beautiful.

I did not worship my city until I realised that for hundreds of years, they have been trying to find the lost cities of Atlantis and Dwarka. I finally realized that I never needed to glow up. All I needed was to love myself and my beautiful city.

And so do you.

-Ritika Jyala, transcript from Don't glow up

I had written this piece when I was 15 and my poetry style has evolved a lot since then. But it's good to pay homage to my earlier works and learn how I can grow further. Last year, I posted a short video for this poem on my channel, here's the link if you're interested.

They heavily encourage children to interact, claiming to be a "safe space", while stating that they are 22 and pro-ship. They also openly believe children can consent to sexual acts.

“Running out of time”

~Post type: Headcanons~

Author’s note: Yes this is partially based off a real event, no I do not want to talk about it. (It’s a little funny)

Please enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Press it! Press it!!" Kokichi shouted over your shoulder.

“Are we done? I don’t want to screw it up and press it too early” You exclaimed.

"If you don't press it now, who knows what'll happen! Push! The! button!" He cried out, with comically large tears streaming down his face.

"If I push it now, we may not have done everything right!" You yelled back, hands shaking.

"It's now or never, S/o, I'll never forgive you if you don't press it in time." He stated grimly.

You quickly re-read everything on the screen in front of you, tapped a few keys on your phone keyboard, and pressed the button. Immediately, the screen went black. You and Kokichi were both silent. The room's atmosphere had been totally different mere moments ago. Now, instead of shouting and anxiety, it was silent and just tense. You looked up at the clock every few minutes. 

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Time crept by, slower than ever before, almost convincing you that it wasn’t moving at all. You’ve never seen Kokichi this serious. 

You two made small conversation here and there just to fill the time, though it didn't help much.

At one point, you even went outside to wait. 

It was rainy, chilly, and dark.

The rain danced on your coat, before falling to the concrete beneath you.

But as soon as you heard Kokichi telling you to come back inside, as he was getting cold from the open door; you went back inside to wait.

Right when you both started to give up hope, there was a knock at the door. You stood to answer it, but your boyfriend was faster; getting to the door and throwing it open.

"Thanks, we almost starved to death!" He exclaimed to the poor GrubHub driver.

"Yeah, sorry about that.. Enjoy your McDonald's.." The driver said before turning to head back to his car. Kokichi didn't bother to tip, he just closed the door and got to work making sure everything was there.

"Oh my God, S/O. They forgot the most important part" He wailed.

"What? What did they forget?" After waiting a long 20 minutes, you didn’t want to deal with reordering whatever they missed; And your phone was dead, so you’d have to wait for it to charge to do so.

"The seventeen pepper packets I added!!" He wailed; gently, but dramatically, tossing the bag on the counter.

Though that wasn’t a main part of the order, Kokichi was actually upset about it being forgotten. So much so, that you almost felt like driving to McDonalds to ask for pepper packets, just to appease him.

McDonalds had already closed by the time you decided to do so, however.

It was a sad day that day.

stop whitewashing Travis in your art, he is very clearly a person of colour. Just because he’s blonde doesn’t mean he must be white!

Hi guys, I apologize for being gone for so long. I’ve had so much stress the past couple months and it’s really only gotten worse. I’m really struggling to pay my bills and I am unable to work anymore and I’m not really sure what to do.. 

I started a Gofundme page in hopes to get a bit of relief in my current situation. I would never normally do this but my monthly bills just went up and I can’t pay them on my own;; 

If anyone could spare change or even just share this around it would mean the world to me <3 thank you.

the "sorry my follower added that comment to your post" cake is arguably the rawest and most brutal reaction image on this site. like that's your follower. they followed you one day because they liked your posts. you're not even mutuals, they're your follower, you're their shepherd, you might as well be jesus to them. and then they embarrass you by posting cringe, so you grab them by their little pencil neck until their eyes bug out of their skull and parade them, tarred and feathered, through the town square, then drop their sad shitty body on OP's doorstep and paternalistically apologize on their behalf. all for the love of clout. every time i see that cake i get the impression that I've just witnessed a public execution for the crime of drawing a countryhumans gijinka of the country russia as an anime boy with his midriff coyly exposed, and the person dropping the blade on the guillotine is the accused's own dry-eyed father. It's riveting. I hope that image never goes away.

Hi! This may sound like an odd request, but I just thought of a Non-Despair AU where Kokcihi and Nagito are like, frenemeies. Like,, they hate eachother's guts (Or, more accurately, Kokichi loves to make fun of him and Nagito takes it like a champ).

While I would like to request a friendfic where Reader acts as a mediator, I'm totally happy just hearing headcanons or your thoughts on this!

Sorry for the long message, I just got hyper lol

Ooh that sounds so fun! I could do that for you! It might take a little bit since it'll probably be a longer fic but I'll get on it asap :D
