Ahh thank you @noyapai !!

Uh, well, there’s not really that much I like about myself, but here we go - -

1. My eyes - My eyes a pretty dark brown, but I really like the shade that they have! Although I don’t look and doesn’t really like looking in the mirror, I feel like it matches pretty well with my hair.

2. My hair - this is really like a mixed one, tbh. While I like the color and how it looks after having been cut, as well as how it’s usual pretty soft, but it’s a nightmare to deal with when it hasn’t been ironed.

The last are kinda minor, but idk what else to write about me

3. This one is a bit weird, I guess. I’ve never had a sunburn in my life. I always get a rather nice tan in the summer. I guess I kinda like that part?

4. I think I like the fact that I’m a bit tall? I’m only about, like, 170.5 cm, but I’m surprisingly taller than some of the people at my school.

5. Another mixed one again - I guess for the fact that I look kinda Androgynous? Just my face, tho. Because god, have I also been called by the wrong a lot everywhere. But that’s because of my body, so that’s something entirely different.

Sorry if it was somewhat weird ahh -

I’m not really used to talk about myself in a good light, for the most part.

Anyway, I don’t really have that many people to do this with [I don’t really have a lot of friends on here :-:], but TAGS!

@fandom-is-for-vendetta @sleepyone2three

Once you get this, you have to answer with five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send it to ten of your favorite followers. (non-negotiable, positivity is cool!!)

five things is lowkey kinda hard but like,, i like my eyes, hair, nose, freckles, and arms. I think those would be my favorites because they’re all features that just kinda stand out?? 

anyway sorry not sorry if i tag u in this 

@mutantjournalist @miyulovestowrite @nekoglasses @allywritesimagines @kenmagi @vventure @daiseukis @writeiolite @bokuto-simp @yunggumii

Haiji Kiyose headcanons because I need more rwtw rn.

- When Haiji takes Nira on walks, they usually go one of two routes: a small one around the neighborhood, maybe towards of the park if they have time. The other one, they go all the way to the river and back, with a small break in between. They enjoy both of them.

- While he does have the looks, Haiji is oblivious to how ridiculous his outfits can look. Riding after Kakeru on a bike in flip flops and chasing after his senpai in an apron and track suit has sort of made that picture. Let’s be honest, tho. He does look good in anything.

- His lock screen is that of a of a setting sun that he took during the summertime, but his lock screen is a picture from one of the team's parties where they got drunk.

- He always has blackmail and Nira pictures and extra notes written on there.

- Oji once convinced Haiji to watch anime together. He didn’t get all of them, or why Oji was screaming or freaking out during some parts of it, but had fun.

- He liked Fruit basket the most. Hatori was his favorite, but also felt like he recognized some of Kyo from somewhere [Ahem, A specific first year, maybe. You didn’t hear that from me.].

- Once back in first year of high school, he challenged Fujioka to race on their way home from practice. They ended up tripping and rolling down a small hill. There was no winner that day, just two boys with grass in their hair.

- Haiji sometimes buys books but doesn’t really get them read, since he is busy with both the track club and with his studies.

- During some time of the post-Hakone, he started to read again to pass time at the hospital and at home.

- Speaking is books and running, I’m sure that Haiji has at least read or heard once of Murakami Haruki’s ‘What I talk about when I talk about running’. Probably one of his favorite non-fiction books.

- His cooking abilities came from watching his mom cook during middle school, but he first started getting into it during first year at university, seeing as there wasn’t anyone else at Aotake that could.

- Doesn’t fully get every meme that is out there, likes ones with cats and dogs in.

- Spends Golden week, summer and winter break at Aotake during his college days. He had no need to go back home, at least, not for now. Even after, he doesn’t travel back all that often.

- Okay, so Haiji is canonically from the country side, which would mean that he probably wasn’t all that used to the loud city that was Tokyo. Even if it was in a peaceful neighborhood where Aotake stood at. So, it might’ve taking him a while to really get used to it.

- After graduation, he definitely has a secret tradition with calling Kakeru before Hakone. Some about the team, general training and practices, but it usually ends out in conversations that feels like it has as little to do with that in the first place, ending up going on for so long that the phone bill could almost be dragging on the floor. But, that doesn’t stop Haiji from dialing up his kōhai when the opportunity arrives.

Hi. Please stop scrolling.

I am looking for some new blogs to follow.

Please reblog if you post any of the following:

- BNHA

- Sanders Sides

- Noragami

 - Charlotte (the anime)

 - Blue Exorcist

- Psycho Pass

- Harry Potter and Star Wars

 - Anything Marvel

 - Art and Painting

 - Nature Photography

 - Memes

WHITE PEOPLE REBLOG THIS ONE:

when you are in public with your black friend/friends DO NOT make jokes, or loud jokes about crime. do not yell at people when you are walking down the street, do not make jokes about robbing or stealing. YOU might be able to make those jokes by yourself, but when you are in presence of a black person, the effects can be DIRE.  

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

i know we call it the bakusquad but lets be real here.  bakugou is not the uniting factor.  it is the kirisquad.

Reblog to show your support for NSFW Artists, who deserve better than having their art censored/removed because of a badly thoughtout idea

REBLOG IF YOU ARE A WRITER ON TUMBLR

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF WRITER YOU ARE YOU CAN BE WRITING: POEMS, FANFICS, IDK NORMAL FICS, NOVELS, SHORT STORIES, IDK ANYTHING!! JUST REBLOG!!!
