EVERYONE who reblogs this will be insulted in Shakespearean fashion.
Everyone in the tags is like: “don’t worry OP it gets better! Stick it out! Jon becomes less of a bastard later on! Soon they’ll both be pining and you’ll love it!”
Me, halfway through S2 and Jon’s ongoing and full-on ‘I’m-going-through-a-complete-paranoid-psychotic-breakdown-rn-and-i’m-dragging-all-you-fuckers-with-me’ rage fest, which includes verbally harassing and stalking Martin: uh-huh. sure.
*Hears all about TMA and how Jon and Martin are one of the most tender and heartbreaking romances in podcasting*
*Me, ecstatic for some more sweet gay pining, starts listening from the beginning*
Jon, first ep: so yeah those new researchers in the archives Sasha and Tim are on thin fuxking ice but fuck that Martin guy, he’ll never amount to anything

someone brought a birthday cake to my math class and we didnt have napkins or plates so we used scantrons
I woke up in a cold sweat thinking about this and I have to just get it out or it'll drive me mad. So a DEH/BNHA AU in which Midoriya really does jump off the roof in the end, and Bakugou is there to see him go but, too little too late, can't stop him from jumping. All he's left with is a soggy book full of Midoriya's dreams and an overwhelming amount of guilt. The notebook takes place of the emails, with Bakugou discovering extensive pages on himself in the burnt notebook, and later on finding himself in every notebook after Inko (thinking like many others who knew the boys that Bakugou treated Midoriya poorly in order to protect the quirkless boy from killing himself in the hero industry) gave him the whole collection. They became a symbol in the media of the two boys friendship (and in a twisted way allowed Bakugou to become closer to Midoriya), while still serving as the cover's downfall later. In this AU he told Midoriya to jump after he's alone in the classroom with him, so when he calls an ambulance he's assumed to be the poor kid who tried to stop his suicidal quirkless friend from jumping, and his flawless record and strong quirk ensures that he's hailed as a tragic hero. All of a sudden Deku is a tragic story and Bakugou is SUFFOCATING in guilt and rage as people who spat on Midoriya's beaten form suddenly cry over his body. The Bakugou who enters UA is a quiet, broken shell of a kid who's anger is quick to flare but quick to splutter out, and is haunted by the shadow of a dead kid that chatters in his ear all the time. He still keeps distance from his classmates, but rather than from disdain and pride, it's because he's tired of the fakeness of others and being seen as someone who needs pity. Bakugou is famous and lorded as a hero even in UA because of the way he clung to Midoriya's corpse when he was being wheeled into the ambulance, shouting about how "Izuku was meant to be smiling, damn it! He's supposed to be awake, open your fucking eyes already you idiot! If you're dead who's gonna do good in this shitty world? You were meant to fight your way to the top right? WHY ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE I CANT SEE YOU??" Midoriya's ghost constantly reminds him of his failures, so he tries to be a better person in repentance and also in fear of becoming a villain. The only person who gets close to him is Shinsou (who is in class 1-A most definitely), after Bakugou gets into an ugly fight with him during the third round of the sports festival, and destroys his hands with explosions to break out of the mind control so he can kick Shinsou's ass and tell him he can be a hero! Fuck what others think! YOU ARENT A VILLAIN BECAUSE IF YOU ARE (what am I???). The bakusquad eventually forms but it's harder with Bakugou being so resistant, especially when they're so inherently good. Especially Kirishima, who does nothing but try his best to understand Bakugou and become friends with this kid who saw his childhood friend die in front of him. Meanwhile Bakugou can't stand this stupid kid is so wonderful and good, a true hero who claims that Bakugou is the one who is the best hero he's seen??? He HATES it, and hates how much his heart leaps at the thought of that ever being true. But Bakugou still reigns as top student, winning the sports festival after spectacularly kicking Todoroki's ass for not using his flames, especially after he had an enlightening conversation with the other boy and a solid confrontation with Endeavour. The two are not friends per say, but Bakugou can't help but feel a connection to the boy that carried the heavy weight of emotional pain like Midoriya, and who he beat with words he thought Midoriya would say. In the end Bakugou still gets kidnapped by the League, but they are more eager to recruit him because they know he was the one who caused Midoriya to kill himself. And Bakugou doesn't want to listen to these fuckers, but the Midoriya that's always with him is whispering "villain" in his ear and suddenly the League has released the truth anonymously to the media by sending pictures of the famous notebooks. The notebooks weren't just quirk analysis but also a form of a journal for Midoriya, and they mention the abuse he suffered from Bakugou and his quirk, and suddenly the entire society is shaken by a "hero" figure being exposed as a "villain". The rescue is more difficult with Shinsou taking Midoriya's place and encouraging Kirishima to reach out. And Bakugou, broken even more by his facade finally crumbling and his belief of truly being a villain, almost doesn't reach out. But they get there in the end, and Bakugou hates himself even more when All Might loses his power, with One For All having been discreetly handed off to Mirio during the year. Everything comes to head when Bakugou is hassled by society into making a public speech, and against UA's wishes he steps up to the podium. Pale, exhausted and grief-stricken, Bakugou comes clean on national television. Only at the end, when disgusted murmurs have broken out and faith in heroes is fracturing, Bakugou gives a tearful speech about his understanding of what it really means to be a hero, of how fucking stupid it was he was lorded for having a quirk and others were condemned as "weak" for not being born lucky. He cuts to the core of social issues and he screams until his voice is hoarse about how unfair it is he stands here when IZUKU is the hero this world deserved. And it's a sobering moment to realise a child is breaking down on television because society is the one that held him high and turned him to view quirkless as worthless Deku's because that's how the world works. The slate isn't swept clean and Bakugou is condemned by many for his actions, but more awareness of quirkless suicide/domestic violence statistics is raised and all of a sudden society is actively trying to fix their flaws because their corrupt system has bred broken children who see themselves as worthless, and children with God complexes who turn toxic with society's help. In the end Bakugou managed to stay in UA with the intervention of his teachers, including a devastated All Might who wishes he could've helped this Midoriya kid (he has to save EVERYONE). The other kids are wary but suddenly many hey an understanding of how fucked up Bakugou has been over the thought of becoming a villain, and suddenly the bakusquad and what would've been the Dekusquad have merged into this ride-or-die group of friends who only want to make Bakugou happy. Eventually he is happy when he gets the necessary counselling and faces his issues for good. The day comes when he can finally look in the mirror and smile at the hero he sees, and it's the same day he finally says yes to that Shitty-haired bastard who keeps asking him out.
First and foremost, the world building within Magi is simply phenomenal. Within a matter of episodes you have an in-depth understanding of the social, political and economic structure of the world without burning hardly any brain cells. And the series does one of the most amazing jobs I've ever seen in anime by directly addressing the horrific issues that come with this world. There is no pussy footing around when it comes to slavery. It isn't censored or looked at through rose-coloured glasses. It's depicted as the fucking crime against humanity it is. Additionally Morgiana's history as a slave isn't glossed over, or made into a small facet of her being vulnerable to make her fit into the damsel-in-distress love archetype. Instead the creators blatantly show her struggling with PTSD and doing her best to deal with it by freeing others. The show also deals brilliantly with all aspects of anxiety, with majority of Alibaba's character growth coming from facing and learning to cope with the fact that he does have anxiety, and understanding that parts aren't due to himself and his failures, but rather the treatment he was given by others and their overbearing expectations; something that all people with anxiety can relate to as self-loathing is difficult to admit, let alone try to overcome. Sahbmad the deputy King further solidifies Magi's place as a work of social commentary and attempts to normalise and address issues like anxiety. The man faces literally crippling social and general anxiety, yet he becomes one of the greatest heroes of the series for all of us who have struggled with anxiety before by fucking standing up to his (abusive) brother and setting things right. Alibaba's support for him only further supports the fact that anxiety is real and common, but also that it can be dealt with by the aid of others and admitting that there is something wrong in the first place. These are only a few social issues addressed in Magi, and the addition of moments like indicating that Alibaba's mother's job as a prostitute was something to be respected rather than be ashamed of, as she was only caring for her kids, solidifies the show as one of the most underrated woke shows out there. For the love of every god please watch Magi you won't be disappointed.
Let’s be honest, that relationship had to have been on the rocks for a while
Sora’s side: a long-winded mystery that is slightly unsettling with the memory-loss and all, but is a story shrouded in nostalgia that sweetly pushes the whole Friendship Is Magic trope. The conflict reveals new depths to the characters (especially Sora), but Sora’s optimism prevails and we result in a hopeful ending.
Riku’s side: RIKU MUST GRAPPLE WITH HIS DARKNESS ONCE MORE ALL WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS, WHILE CONSTANTLY BEING REMINDED OF HIS PAST MISTAKES AND HOW PATHETIC HE IS FOR BEING SCARED OF BECOMING EVIL AGAIN DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE IS A CHILD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY MORE.
Me, suitably horrified: I thought this was a kids game.
SO today I went into the bathroom at school and there was writing scrawled all over the wall there. It read Croatoan. Lucifer is coming...again.
Supernatural fandom is already getting ready for the best scenario.
lil gruvia au for melon (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
some of these came out meh BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I SPENT AN ENTIRE MONTH ON THIS, ENJOY (also panels w/o lyrics are supposed to go with the piano beat thing, youll know what i mean)
*Takes off disguise* Yes…
I am the person who had the problem with the post about Dipper messing with abusing Pacifica’s parents!
I was staying anon but then I decided fuck it.
I feel like Pacifica would have definite problem with Dipper’s actions as well, so I decided to make a comic out of it. Pacifica and Dipper are a bit older, around 15-16.
For Gravity Falls fans who don’t follow Transcendence AU, all you need to know to read this comic is the premise Dipper has Bill’s powers and is growing ever-more demon-like due to that. I feel the message is important to everyone.
