For the ask game about Sakura's apartment, I need to give him a fridge. He needs a fucking fridge so he can store food stuff and have nice cold water whenever he wants.

Oof, yeah especially during the summer 🫠

Hawks: I suppose you don't like me very much anymore. Tokoyami: Not particularly, no. Hawks: That's alright. I'm a bit of an acquired taste. Tokoyami: Vinegar, I imagine. Hawks: I deserve that.

Hey, hey, hey, if it's not too much to ask, could we learn more about the Iidaocha family in your ABO AU? Like, I love Tenma so much and I wish I knew more about him and I love Iidaocha even more, it's such a great ship, pretty please tell me more!

ADGKAHLSFKASLKAS HI YES HELLO IICHAKO IS THE CUTEST SOFTEST MOCHI ICE CREAM AND ITS A CRIME THEY'RE NOT MORE POPULAR PINK AND BLUE ROUND AND SQUARE??? THE CONTRAST!!!

idk what to say other than they’re very loving and wholesome uwu they time their heat/rut together so they can enjoy themselves to the fullest//SLAP

iida buys ochako all sorts of soft stuff since their ua days, especially after they started dating. nothing but the best for the sweetest person in the world! he’s using his own savings but iida worried his parents might think he’s going overboard. they found out eventually and theyre ESTATIC! their baby boy??? interested in something that isn’t school??? and she’s just the cutest??? i want iida’s parents to spoil her and give her all the mochi she can eat. i love them so much i just want them and their family to be happy that is all i ever want

meanwhile tenma aaah he has very boy scout energy lmao. a very competitive boy scout. who goes around barefoot and comes back dragging in dirt into the house cause he needs custom footwear and they’re a bother

also fubuki can and will, bring up the fact that his parents used to call him mochi before he was born because they wanted his gender to be a surprise whenever possible

also he puffs up smoke from his exhausts when flustered

Hi! I know you're one of the older fans on Tumblr & I wanted to ask you about the anti movement. I'm 19 & when I see people talking about the ages of anti fans, they're often within the 14-25 age range & I have no idea why. I also feel it's a little unfair to say that younger fans tend to be antis, though it is understandable since I've also made mistakes when I didn't know things. Why do you think most antis are younger fans? What should younger fans who aren't antis do to be more involved?

Hee! I’m 40, which, tbh, actually isn’t that old for Tumblr (though it’s certainly old compared to the common perception of tumblr), so sure, I can probably answer this. I guess there are two questions here: 1. Is it true and 2. why, if so?

1. Experience suggests that antis do tend to be young... but it does not follow that young people tend to be antis. (You’d have to know the proportion of antis relative to the overall population of fandom, which we don’t. I think the majority of people of any age tend to want to read fic in peace and not be roped into endless wank.) I definitely see some ringleaders who are older and good at manipulating fandom trends for their own ends too.

2. Why would this be the case?

When I was in college, we used to joke about all the freshman year Marxists. It’s an eternal phenomenon: people who don’t have much experience learn a new thing and are on fire to change the world using the one tool in their toolbox. (To a man with a hammer, yadda yadda.) There’s no passion like the passion of the newly converted, and young people tend to have a lot more energy and often a lot more free time to yell on social media. Antis may be one expression of this among people currently in that age bracket. It’s not like people my age didn’t do other annoying-ass things when we were that age. You just don’t see it because it was 20 years ago, a lot of it was never online, and all the websites/platforms from then have been systematically destroyed. (Often by yahoo. Fuck yahoo.)

The other half of the reason, in my opinion, is that there have been concerted efforts to sway lefty/socially liberal people in specific--often TERFy--ways. It’s somewhat reminiscent of the right wing radicalization of gamer guys.

People are susceptible to it because their lives suck and because they don’t know enough history or have enough confidence to form their own opinions and stand up for them. Sure, some people are going to go hardcore for anti views no matter how much they know, but a lot of people are just being swept along with the tide because something sounds superficially pro-gay or pro-protecting kids or whatever.

I cannot emphasize enough that the things that make someone ripe for the alt right are the same things that make them ripe for cults and for various kinds of toxic fandom shit: it’s usually the smart, sensitive overthinkers who don’t have enough close actual friends and who aren’t in a good place in their lives.

---

So what can you do?

You can try to make fewer more significant friendships and make sure your support system isn’t people you only know because you currently share a fandom. Most of my offline friends are people I found through fandom meetups, don’t get me wrong. I’m all for making fandom your life and only hanging out with fandom people, but we’re just regular friends who have dinner parties and shit (well, when it’s not the plaguetimes). Most of the time, we don’t share specific ships or fandoms. It’s vitally important to have a real support network that can’t be ripped away by social media wank.

The next thing we can all do is publicly stand up for what we believe in and not cave to pressure just because someone yelled “think of the children”. It’s important to be clear about the real history and logic behind these things, whether it’s the history of censorship that inspires people to support AO3′s extremely permissive policies or the fact that ‘queer’ was a fully reclaimed umbrella term in the 90s.

It’s okay if we don’t all agree. What’s not okay is appeals to emotion and ignoring science. A lot of anti bullshit is like “Rape fantasies are an abnormal red flag”, and this goes against every damn thing we know about human sexuality.

Part of this is examining our own stances for illogic and hypocrisy. If thought crimes aren’t real, then all of them aren’t real. I see way too many “Okay, but that one gross kink though!” comments from people who claim to be on my side, and this is very silly.

Possibly the biggest thing, though, is that we as a planet need to start being savvier about shitty social media and how it’s destroying our mental health. I don’t have a good overall solution, and obviously, I’m still on tumblr, but we all really need to cut down the amount of time we’re on sites like Facebook and Twitter and probably tumblr too. The more it has an algorithm and the less it has moderation, the more it’s a problem. Individual discords and spaces that can have moderation are better. It’s fine if some of them are 100% antis. The point is to have multiple spaces with rules that suit different groups.

A thing you can do is make your own spaces: be the owner of a discord for your ship, not just a passive participant at the mercy of shitty mods in an existing one. Run a fic exchange with rules you think are sensible and be firm when people try to scream about problematique things you don’t agree are a problem. One of the most pernicious anti problems is mods breaking the rules of their own spaces (usually a “no kinkshaming” one) to cave to social pressure from the loudest, most assholish set of people in the server. They don’t know how many people quietly disapprove and quietly leave their fandoms because they only fear the loud harassers, not the silent toll of caving to them.

Honestly, the climate of fear is the big issue more than a bit of yelling: I routinely meet 20-somethings who live in fear of being canceled and shunned. You can help this by... not being like that with your friends. If they’re friends with a canceled person, don’t ask them to drop the canceled person or face the same fate. If you disagree about some fandom hot take, talk about it calmly and don’t act like the friendship will be over in 5 seconds and you’ll use all your knowledge of them against them in a public callout because they didn’t instantly agree.

Basically, have some self confidence and don’t be fucking terrified all the time... which can be a tall order and probably explains the age thing also.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well today, Shima. In that case, do you want to talk about your favorite MHA AU? Or favorite art piece you've ever made? I hope you feel better soon!

Thanku fam I appreciate it 💕

HGGHH I really can’t choose a favorite between the Big Four but I will say that while I was streaming World Heroes Mission I kept thinking how absolutely fucking hilarious it would have been with a Distortion Link AU twist where Izuku just calls up Nexus and is like BESTIE HELP and Nexus is like “Bro deadass how do you keep getting into these situations” and Rody’s like oh my god there’s two of them. What the fuck.

Hey, I just read your Quirk Farm Theory and you said that Jin is 31, right? And that Eri's Quirk can somehow get rid of Quirks entirely. Ya know who else is 31 and can get rid of Quirks and we know All For One tried to steal the Quirk of?

Shouta Aizawa, Pro Hero Eraserhead who can erase Quirks by looking at someone.

i considered including aizawa in the quirk farm theory! he does theoretically fit, but there is a problem with this theory.

spoilers under the cut

so part of aizawa's backstory is that his friend shirakumo got killed, and then shirakumo's body was taken by all for one and dr. ujiko and used as the base to make the nomu kurogiri. however, in a chapter of the manga that hasn't made it into the anime yet, its revealed that dr. ujiko didn't mean to take shirakumo that day. he wanted to aizawa, to get his hands on aizawa's erasure quirk.

if aizawa was part of the quirk farm theory, then this wouldn't have been necessary. in that case dr. ujiko would have been the first to know about erasure, and all for one would have gotten aizawa's quirk before he realized he had it (or at least was sure about having it). so, logistically, it doesn't really fit.

that isn't to say that, if you really wanted to bend the theory to fit aizawa, you couldn't handwave it so that he slipped through the cracks.

it's a headcanon. go wild.

Pffft, I think you have so many asks because you're very charming. I love the way you run this blog, normally I stay away from Yanderes because it's often just abuse. But you write Shouto in a way that somehow comes across as just... yes, he's obviously doing something very wrong. He seems to really care though and have the followers' bets interests at heart. Even though every ask will be very different, from people saying they're leaving, to people who are so utterly smitten and content with where they are. I think it's really interesting and creates a fun atmosphere. Good work and make sure you keep having fun! But if it ever becomes not fun, don't be afraid to take a break.

(I’m glad you are enjoying being here. That’s honestly all I want from anyone following this account.

I don’t really enjoy the idea of yanderes harming their lover, and it makes some of the yandere stuff hard to read for me.

I try to put myself in the spot of yandere shoto and how he might react in certain situations, and try to portray it as accurately as I can. I see him as self aware, but still so smitten by y/n that he can’t help it. He doesn’t want to hurt them, but instead give them all the love they could ever want.

I want everyone to feel safe and loved here, whether they are having a bad day or just feeling down. I want this to be a safe place.

Thank you for the kind words, you don’t understand how much it means to hear that others enjoy this as much as I do. )

HI! I'm a huge fan of your MHA fics, I think you're an amazing writer and I really love your work! Hope you're doing okay and I wanted to ask you... You've got a couple of MHA AUs going on right now and in the past, so, do you have a favorite MHA that you made? Is there an MHA AU that you love but haven't talked about yet? Thanks for your time, have an amazing day!

Aw thank you darling this means a lot to me!

It’s always so hard to choose between my babies. My favorite AU I’ve got running right now though would probably be a toss up between 3 of my AiDeku AUs: Treat You Better, Scarves & Whiskers, and The Boyfriend Bluff.

Might catch flack on and off over the pairing by people who don’t take the time to check the actual AUs out, but I think the worlds I’ve been building in those AUs are all fun and funny and make a lot of sense overall. They’re just a joy to work with.

I do have a few ideas I haven’t put out there yet but it’ll happen sooner or later.
