(this is not a fanfic, if that is what you are looking for, please scroll on by)
hello everyone, i would like to put my two cents onto the internet for everyone so they can look at the perspective of my own thoughts. alot of people are not going to LIKE this, but, whatever
your two cents about this topic is also appreciated! you are totally free to put your opinion on this topic as well. however, your opinion will not be considered valid if you did not read the entire post.
TLDR: please dont pretend to care about minors on your blog if you use "minors dni" or "age in bio" it is NOT the correct way to combat minors. infact, its stupid.
you cannot use "minors dni" as a way to combat minors. you also cant use "age in bio" as a way to combat minors, its dumb and as an adult, you should know that it's dumb, which really makes me question if alot of fanfic writers are actually the adults they claim to be.
given that the statement is true, there are two possible options for the people who use this statement on their own blog; they are either REALLY oblivious, or they don't care about minors in their spaces as much as they say. to be honest, i think they care more about how many notes they get.....they just also want to look like the good guy at the same time.
before i start the yap session, i would like to make it clear who i am blaming and adressing in this post, if you are not mentioned, you do not apply.....
i am blaming ADULTS who write PORN and PRETEND to care about MINORS reading their content when they don't use the NEEDED PRECAUTIONS in order to keep them out.
I am NOT saying you need to care about minors reading your content. As long as you are following the rules of tumblr, you can post whatever you want. you also need to understand that it goes the other way around, people can read whatever they want to, that includes the contents of your blog.
if you DO care, you can't be fucking stupid about it, you need to take the VERY IMPORTANT REQUIRMENTS in order to do so.
minors, i know you read the porn on tumblr, and you can because alot of the adults don't care about you reading their content. however they act like they do, which makes me angry
if you think you are mature enough, you have the ability to do so. this is not meant to target you, it's meant to target the adults for trying to act like a saint while being the problem at the same time, okay?
(tw large amounts of opinionated yapping. oh boy i might be ambushed for this....oh well)
given that obliviousness is one of the options here, i will explain my standpoint as to why it is stupid.
this is tumblr. and alot of you are writing porn around a fandom that gravitates towards minors, especially certain anime. ESPECIALLY ones like my hero academia, demon slayer, jjk, those type of things.
YES, i am aware adults also watch anime, and some adults want to read porn about their favourite characters in said anime.
but do you want to know who reads porn about their favourite characters more than adults do? MINORS!
and because most of you have a really airheaded way of combating minors, guess who the main consumer of your content is??? MINORS!
it's mostly minors reading your content, sorry to break it to you.
and i have decided to point the finger here, people who write about MHA are the absolute worst when it comes to this situation.
because not only are you creating a toilet paper wall to "stop" minors from reading your content, you are writing porn where the fandom is pretty much all teenagers and some young adults.
AND ON TOP OF THAT! MOST (keyword most) of the characters you are writing porn about are literal minors in the show!
LIKE??? i personally dont care too much if it stops you from writing porn about ACTUAL children....but like...please do not pretend to care about minors reading your content it pisses me off
if you actually want minors out of your blog, I have a solution for you! let me help you!
Solution, promote your writing with SFW content only on your tumblr blog, and put your NSFW content behind a wall that requires age verification. you have multiple ways to do that! for example, use something like patreon, or if you want to bump it up a notch, use something that requires genuine age verification, like an ID.
the down side? you won't be as popular, infact you'll most likely be unpopular! and you will realize how little the amount of adults in your blog are, because your likes will be VERY LOW on your nsfw content.
but.....that's okay! as long as minors aren't in your blog!
....right?
I am obsessed with Nirei and Sakura's dynamic because, from the very beginning, their characters start to develop around each other. Whether it's in a shipping way or not, their characters as we know them now wouldn't exist without the other. They're both each other's guiding lights.
Like.
Quite literally:
Nirei makes it his life purpose to help Sakura reach the top because he has been the first one to believe in him and help him out without making him feel weak. And not only that, but Nirei instantly knows Sakura has a good heart. Which is not a hard thing to do because this guy's emotions are displayed in plain sight (as much as he tries to hide it), but Nirei doesn't only realize Sakura's a good person, he also believes he needs help. Yes, Sakura fights for him when they first meet, but Nirei is the (first) one to follow him, acknowledge him as the next one at the top, and be his friend. Because he is what Nirei wants to become and what he wants to protect. He sees Sakura as the future. As a kind soul. As what the town (and himself) needs.
They both show strengths the other can rely on and appreciate. Sakura is good when it comes to fighting but a whole mess socially and emotionally because he has always been on his own. Nirei is good whenever they need information or emotional support and he just understands people because he watches them, while not being good at fighting. But they both share the same amount of ambition and are able to support each other in countless ways. They lift each other up. They're quite literally written for each other, in my opinion.
They also share insecurities. They know what it means to feel weak. Nirei knows what it is to feel physically hurt and bruised and what it is to carry the weight of the team because he feels like a burden for not being able to help in the same way as the others when he so desperately wants to. While Sakura knows what it is to feel emotionally abandoned, hurt, and lonely, while he also carries the weight of the team on his shoulders because he doesn't let others help him with the burden.
And they are both so, so stubborn. Nirei doesn't tell Sakura he's training and learning to fight behind his back because he'd feel even worse. And Sakura doesn't tell Nirei about feeling like a burden and a bad leader himself, because that'd only make him worse (than he believes he is). But they so desperately wish to help each other in so, so many ways.
Sakura would physically fight anyone who hurt Nirei. He has been protecting him from the very beginning without almost any hesitation. He met his guiding light and proceeded to never let him go. Nirei, on the other hand, is so protective emotionally of Sakura, always caring for him and longing to reach out and get him out of the dark because he can't see he is Nirei's guiding light too.
They're also so, so bad at showing these things. Because Sakura keeps protecting Nirei and keeping him out of fights but that only ever makes Nirei feel like he should be doing something else to help (Sakura only wants to keep him safe because he is precious to him). Nirei wants to reach out to Sakura and shower him with all the love he refuses to ask for but doesn't because doing so would only make Sakura overwhelmed (he has been holding himself back for so long, I swear).
I don't want to talk about this much because I meant to make a post about this, but... Nirei has been holding back his love and care for Sakura for so damn long (shout out to @/cantdrawtosavemylife for saying this actually) and in chapter 146 I swear he just couldn't hold it in anymore and ended up doing a love confession mid-battle. "It's not a love conf-" to me it is. Shut up. I love them.
So what I was saying--
Their characters truly develop thanks to each other.
Sakura learns to care and love for others thanks to all the characters, really, but you can't ignore the favoritism he has towards protecting Nirei and the guilt he specifically feels whenever he gets hurt.
And how he goes from: "Nirei, don't fight"
To: "Okay, I will trust him. I count on you, Nirei"
In like, two pages.
And yes, it's thanks to other characters too that Sakura manages to trust others and not fight completely on his own, lending some control to his friends. But it's the trust he has in Nirei's (and Suo's!!) words that make him improve so much emotionally.
Nirei's quite literally Sakura's heart and logic who can finally make the mess inside of him make sense.
Ohh, but Sakura is Nirei's future, too. His strength. His ambition.
Nirei learns to stand up for himself only because he wants to help Sakura get to the top. Because he promised him. Not only because of that of course, he already wanted to be stronger before meeting Sakura and other characters believe in him too, but now he has somebody to support and fight for.
So he starts only being able to help him out with his brain and heart.
To now be able to at least defend himself properly in a fight so Sakura can keep going forward without looking back.
And not only that! He's now able to fight his fears and be ready to face whoever if it means Sakura won't do it on his own.
And everything because Sakura trusts him.
And I could keep talking about how they're each other's guiding lights and bring out the best of one another. I could mention all the times they spend together which is, like, idk, every damn chapter because if you separate them they might die. I could talk for hours about how their characters wouldn't exist without each other and how Nirei (and Suo. Never forget Suo. I love you, king) will forever be Sakura's right-hand man. Etc etc etc.
Buuuuuut I got tired of writing so I'll just say:
Nirei sees the good heart in Sakura and Sakura sees the strength in Nirei and their dynamic is my favorite thing from this manga.
oneshot & fluff âȘÂ in which after one too many drinks, y/n blurts out her long-hidden feelings for shinâas he listens in shock, panic, and very obvious heart eyes. the next morning? chaos. lots of it.

THE NIGHT STARTED with takoyaki and ended with tequila shots. Somewhere in between, Y/n lost her common sense, her volume control, and the ability to filter her thoughts.
Shin sat beside her in their usual izakaya booth, sipping soda because he was designated sober guy. He glanced at Y/nâflushed cheeks, glassy eyes, swaying ever so slightlyâand smiled.
âYou good?â
âIâm great.â She nodded, then blinked. âWait. No. Iâm in love with you. Thatâs what I meant.â
Shin froze.
The world didnât.
The music kept playing. The lights stayed warm. The other customers didnât notice the emotional grenade she just tossed into his lap.
â...What?â
âYou heard me, brain boy.â She poked his forehead. âYou can read minds, right? So why didnât you figure it out?â
Shinâs brain blue-screened. He stared at her, then at the glass in her hand.
âHow much did you drink?â
âNot enough to lie! Iâm drunk, not a coward.â
Later that night, she passed out across his couch, drooling slightly, with a blanket half-kicked onto the floor.
Shin sat nearby in complete silence, phone in hand, typing and deleting the same message a hundred times:
You confessed to me
You said you love me
You threw a sock at me and called me "emotionally blind."
He blinked. Set the phone down.
âI canât believe I waited three years for alcohol to do my job.â
The next morning, Y/n woke up to the smell of miso soup and the feeling of dread.
Her head throbbed. Her memory... fuzzed.
She groaned and sat up. âWhat happened last night?â
From the kitchen, Shinâs voice drifted in.
âYou told me you loved me.â
Her soul left her body.
âI what?â
âYou also challenged me to a fight, lost to your own shoelaces, and declared war on emotionally unavailable men.â
She buried her face in a pillow.
âI need to move to another country.â
He walked in with soup and a smug look.
âOr... you could stay here. With me. You know. Since I like you too.â
She stared.
âYouâre not saying that out of pity, right?â
âNope.â
âOr fear?â
âDefinitely not.â
âOr because I still have your shirt hostage?â
He laughed.
âOkay, maybe a little because of that.â
She flopped back down, groaning into the cushion. âI can never drink again.â
He set the bowl beside her.
âPlease do. Apparently, drunk you is very productive.â
The next time they went drinking, she stuck to soda.
Still, she leaned in close, nudged his arm, and whispered,
oneshot & fluff âȘ in which shin gets a second chance with y/n after a messy breakupâand this time, heâs determined not to read her mind, but actually listen to her heart.

IT STARTED WITH a stupid mission at the worst possible time.
Shin Asakura hadnât expected to run into her againâdefinitely not in the middle of a hostage situation at a ramen shop, where she kicked down the door and shouted something about "if any of you idiots scratch my new manicure, I will end you."
There she was, Y/n. The girl he broke up with six months ago because, quote, âI canât keep hearing your thoughts when youâre trying so hard to hide them.â
Shin knew it sounded dumb now. In his defense, emotions were confusing, and he'd panicked.
He ducked as a chair flew past his head, narrowly missing a goon and slamming into the wall.
âYouâre late!â he shouted, popping up from behind a table.
âI didnât know I was invited, sweetheart!â she shot back, elbowing a thug in the ribs with practiced ease.
Despite the chaos, despite the sweat dripping down his temple, Shin felt something tug sharply in his chest. It wasn't just nostalgia. It was regret and maybe, a bit of hope.
After the brawl (and a very messy mop-up), they found themselves seated outside the ramen shop, backs against the wall, legs stretched out, panting under the neon signs.
Shin stole a glance. She looked... the same. A little more tired maybe, a little sharper around the eyes. But she still smiled like she meant it.
âDidnât think Iâd see you again.â
âI didnât think Iâd punch a guy using a ladle as a weapon today, but here we are.â
Shin laughed. She didnât.
âI missed you.â He said it too fast. Too quiet.
She blinked. Then looked away. âTook you long enough.â
âI was an idiot.â
âYou still are.â
âBut like... a reformed idiot?â
That got a snort out of her.
âWhy now?â she asked, softer.
Shin picked at the hem of his sleeve, teeth sinking into his lip.
âBecause even after all this time, I still hear your voice in my head.â
âBecause of your powers?â
He met her eyes.
âNo. Just... because itâs you.â
It didnât magically fix things overnight. No miraculous romantic kiss under the stars (they were too busy dodging bullets). But it did start something.
Like the time Shin showed up at her apartment with a box of apology donuts and accidentally tripped over her cat.
âYour catâs trying to kill me.â
âMaybe she learned from the best.â
Or the time she pretended to ignore him on a mission and he fake-cried into a bag of shrimp chips until she caved.
Or when she tried teaching him how to make omurice, and he ended up scrambling eggs so violently they stuck to the ceiling.
âShin! I said fold the egg, not launch it into orbit!â
He grinned at her, apron smudged and hair a mess.
âIâm just adding height to the presentation.â
âYouâre adding trauma to my kitchen.â
Still, her smile lingered.
They were messy. Chaotic. Loud. But it was working.
And maybe this time, Shin didnât need to read her mind to know she loved him. He could see itâin the way she bandaged his knuckles without scolding him, in the way she saved the last bite of dessert, in the way she whispered his name when she thought he was asleep.
oneshot & fluff âȘ in which shin wakes up with soulmate marks that match y/nâsâhis coworker, best friend, and longtime crushâand chaos follows as he tries not to completely short-circuit.

SHIN DIDN'T EXPECT to wake up with a glowing red mark on his wrist.
He especially didnât expect to see the same exact patternâthree crescent lines and a starâon Y/nâs wrist when she walked into Sakamotoâs shop that morning, balancing a tray of croquettes and humming off-key.
His brain short-circuited. His telepathy? Gone. Offline. Disconnected.
âYou good?â Y/n blinked, waving a hand in front of his face. âYouâre staring like I just walked in naked.â
He choked. âIâNO?! WHATâWHYâNO!!â
She stared. Then grinned wickedly, âWow. Didnât know the âsoulmate markâ rumors were real.â
He barely heard her over the sound of his own heart crashing against his ribs.
âYou... know what it is?â
âOf course. Everyone in the JCC whispered about it back then. You get a weird, glowing symbol that matches your soulmate's.â She tilted her head. âYou look like you're gonna pass out.â
âThatâs because youâre my soulmate?! And Iâve had a crush on you since the second month we worked here?! And you eat croquettes with soy sauce which is a CRIME?!â
âWow,â she said, blinking. âYou really are down bad.â
The next few hours were chaos.
Sakamoto kept trying to congratulate them by throwing coupons.
Lu kept asking when the wedding was.
And Shin? He kept reading every thought in Y/nâs head like a heart attack waiting to happen.
âHe looks cute when he panics. Oh noâheâs reading this. Abort. Pretend to choke.â
âSTOP.â he finally shouted. âIâM BEGGING YOU. JUST. BE. NORMAL.â
Y/n leaned over the counter and whispered, âWhereâs the fun in that, soulmate?â
He turned so red Lu mistook him for a tomato and tried to wrap him in seaweed.
Later that night, after the store closed and the chaos settled, Y/n sat next to him on the curb outside.
The moonlight made her mark glow faintly. His, too.
She poked his arm gently.
âHey.â
âHm?â
âYouâre still freaking out.â
âNot freaking out. Just processing. Like a... slow computer.â
She giggled. Then rested her head on his shoulder.
âYou donât have to panic, you know.â
âIâm not panicking.â
âShin.â
âOkay, fine, Iâm panicking just a little.â
She laced her fingers through his. Their marks flared softly in tandem.
âIâm glad itâs you,â she said, voice barely above a whisper.
His heart did three backflips and a handspring.
âI... Iâm glad itâs you too,â he whispered back.
Then: âEven if you eat croquettes weird.â
She elbowed him. âYouâre never living that down.â
He smiled.
And for once, the soulmate mark wasnât the only thing glowing.
