- three hearts anon
(im sorry if this seems blunt or mean i literally have 0 energy left and i honestly cant rn lol)
Hi! No, it doesn't seem blunt or mean!
I mean...have you asked them how to fix it? I think at some point, people have to kind of decide whether they're going to forgive or move on. It's not fair to either of you for them to just let you constantly beg for forgiveness. Maybe you could say "Hey, I really want to work this out. Is there something I can do to show you I'm sorry, or should I just give you space?"
Remember to be gentle with yourself. Your mistakes don't define you <3

Chesh anon
Hi! <3
I'm sending you all the virtual hugs. I also found a website that might be helpful for you. I haven't heard of this organization before, but it seems good. They have resources for your location <3
Remember, you're NOT alone. I care about you, and I promise, other people do, too.
Let me know what you think about the website!

Hi! Thank you for the context lol
I mean when it comes to this particular thing, being around people who aren't clean can be very tempting. If you're trying to stay clean, it might be a bad idea to hang around them, no matter how nice they're being. And you can tell them that, too. Like you can say it's not necessarily them, it's that you don't want to be around that, and that's a fair boundary to set, so you absolutely should NOT feel bad for that.
sending love!

political upsetness anon
Hey Cas, sorry I have a political upsettness to say 🥲 I live in America, so I'm sure you know. I am so, so, so afraid for myself and everyone around me. I have been trying to fight against the feeling that everything is going to go wrong because it can't, yk what I mean? Like it can't go bad because it just... can't? Like no history won't be made with this because why would it? It's just going to be another case of everyone freaking out over nothing, and nothing will actually go wrong with this presidency. And then I realize that's probably exactly what people were feeling before every major event we learn about in history class. My dad's already talking about how to get me out if things go badly, and my mom refuses to even listen to any of my concerns so I'm stuck between someone who's absolutely convinced the US is about to turn into 1939 Germany and someone who voted for Trump and can't or won't accept that he's not doing things right. I have things I want to do. I want to stay a us citizen, I want to go to the collage I've chosen and get a masters in Biology, and I want to move to somewhere cold but accepting of who I am. I really wish I could see the future just to know it'll be okay, you know?
Hi <3
I completely understand, and it's definitely hard. I wish I could tell you everything is going to be okay, but like you said, nobody knows.
I think that the best thing to do is stay educated, stay aware, speak out if it's safe, but don't give up and don't stop pursuing your dreams. We have to hold onto the hope that things will change, and when they do, we're going to need more Biologists, because half the country doesn't believe in science right now lol.
Sending love <3

midnights anon
Hey, it’s midnights anon again! How are you? Thank you for your advice last time. The college stuff has been mostly figured out (also, incoming vent. Please please please feel free not to answer this one, I just feel like shit and can’t go anywhere else to process this right now)
But I’m not doing too hot mentally. My body keeps changing and I’m never hungry and eating and drinking water feels disgusting. I got my period and no one had any pads, not even the bathrooms. I tried to use a tampon but it hurt so badly and I just had to use tissue. I bled through my favorite shorts.
I am so stressed because of a test on Wednesday, I had a horrible mental health day today and yesterday, I had no time to study tonight because I broke down and started sobbing because of cramps
Cas I don’t understand what’s wrong with me. I’m doing the normal things. I brush my teeth. I move my body and work out. I talk to friends. I try and be kind. I listen to music. I try and try and try but I’m so miserable so often. It makes me disassociate so hard and I can barely remember anything from any part of my life. Is that normal? Is that bad? I don’t know. What does existing even feel like??
I’m so tired. Everyone around me insists on being miserable as well, about how cooked they are for tests, about how horrible every year in high school is all the time everyday, about how much they hate things. I just want to be okay. I just want to be okay. What’s wrong with me, why is everything so hard?
What sucks is that i know that what im going through is practically nothing. “Oh boo hoo you had an accident and a lot of work. Poor you” but it feel so Bad. I’m in so much pain. I don’t know how to make it better
I’m sorry. I’m just so sorry I’m just so lost
Im so sorry
Hi hon!
Please don't be sorry <3 I'm sorry about your period. Idk if it helps, but I've been there...it's fucking awful.
As far as your questions...is how you're feeling normal/bad?
Well...it's not normal, per se. It's not normal, as in, (I'm not a doctor but) this seems like a mental heath issue, yeah? And ideally, when you have mental health issues, you should ask for help. Not because you're crazy or bad, but because you deserve to feel happier than this!
BUT it's normal in the sense that SO many people have felt like this. SO many people struggle with this and it sucks. (I have! I still do, sometimes!). It's not 'practically nothing.' it's real, and it's difficult, and you're allowed to be upset about what you're going through. I promise, your feelings are valid.
I hate that I feel so guilty for not wanting to be Christian anymore.
This is so hard to say because I struggle to put my thoughts into words
I just hate it so much, I'm so miserable. I'm sick of always being told I'm living wrong. Everything I do is somehow wrong. I can't love a woman because it's a "sin". I can't act a certain way, I can't talk a certain way, I can't BE a certain way, because it's a "sin". And I can never fix myself and be perfect because saying I'm perfect is a "sin".
There's always someone telling me I'm doing wrong and that they have a solution for it and they can help me "live right" and it's just starting to feel so manipulative.
And I feel like I'm not allowed to have emotions. I feel like I'm not allowed to be human, because "God comes first" and if I'm miserable, it doesn't matter because "Oh well, at least I'm making God happy."
It's just so hard to wall this path in life and know that in the end I will NEVER be truly happy, because there will always be someone breathing down my fucking neck, telling me, "you're doing it wrong".
This sucks so much because if I voice all my thoughts on Christianity and how I feel, I'll just be told I'm too young to understand anything, or I'm just confused and I'll understand when I'm older.
And I can't leave because I'm still a minor and I'll have to live with these people for a good couple of years before I can move out.
I think you deserve to live your life the way you want to. Whether it be as a cristian, Jehovah's Witness, atheist, etc.
You may have to live your life a certain way for now but maybe if you wait it out? Remember the goal is what you want. As long as you want whatever it is you want and are willing to do whatever it is to get to it, that's what matters. In your case, it's leaving your religion (if I understood correctly) so to do that you have to leave, completely.
I hope things go the way you hope them to go. Remember it's temporary. I'm always here to talk. <3<3<3
I feel- more safe venting in an ask box but I feel like these weeks been hard. I been losing sleep and trying to get away from this manipulator who ended up doing some creepy shit that gave me a shit ton of suppressed memories flooding back into the surface to the point where I have to keep doing tasks just so I don’t end up sobbing. The worse part is I’m really just relapsing into hiding again Bc the manipulator used to be a BFF so this is all making my head hurt
((GRGRGRGRGR GONNA SHANK THAT PERSON))
((URGH you do not deserve ANYTHING that is happening to you rn))
((urgh what you are going through is super tough. seriously. suppressed memories are the fckin worst and reliving them just,,,,it can ruin you.))
((i,,,i understand the sobbing part. it’s hard, you have to keep composure, you’re going back into hiding and urgh,,,that’s super valid but bro,,,,,crying is okay. it’s 100% and even more okay to cry. crying releases pent up tensions and all the bad stuff, its like releasing the weight off your shoulders or some shit.))
((and yeah. i get you. holding back tears is like a defense instinct we both have learned to do - because we probably both learned that crying shows “weakness” when it doesn’t. it does not and never will. it will take some time to understand but man, crying means that you’re stronger. because those who hide crying are just as traumatized or misunderstood as everyone else, except they have to hide it. i don’t know if this will work or not, but you’re allowed to cry. you are valid for crying and I understand you.))
((regarding the manipulator part, URGH can i. can i smack them. verbally of course, just a small chat.))
((okay jokes aside, is there any possible way to get away from this manipulator? of course, if it’s safe and you know an adult will listen to you, is there a way you could talk to someone about this? there has to be some way for you to get away from this person because right now, i think that’s the best thing you can do to try and uh. heal.))
((if there isn’t any possible way to get away from this person, grgrgr it will take some time but. ugh. i can propose an idea on what to do in the case you reencounter this person again.))
((my best guess would be to ignore them. either that or take no shit from them when speaking with them.))
((say that if they speak to you again that you’re willing to tell the adults or the teachers just so the person can leave you alone. worst case scenario, if this does lead to physical violence, do not start the fight. it will show that your temper is weaker than theirs and that will only hold you more accountable for shit you don’t wanna be held accountable for. but if the person starts the fight, you have to defend yourself. you are a strong person, i know you are - the strongest points of your body are the elbows and probably the knees. defend yourself. im not encouraging physical violence but man, sometimes you gotta know what to do in order to take back on others.))
((i really hope the situation for you gets better bro. especially the sleep thing, sleep is important and especially rn its super hard to go to sleep normally. my best advice for that is to probably listen to music (songs without words - some videogame soundtracks provide really good bkg music to calm down and sleep to, i recommend the skyrim soundtrack since that sometimes helps me, or rain sounds)))
((lastly, im proud of you for opening up. you show that you want to be listened to and heard and that you opened up a personal barrier to do so, and im so proud of you for that.))
((i wish you the best of luck anon, you can personally ask me if you wish for me to delete this after you read it or to keep it up as a memory, im fine with either one.))
Sorry, but imo I think Bkg is a one dimensional character. Yet Horikoshi and the narration praises him like hell. It tricks you into thinking he's improving because all the other characters are constantly praising him. So a reader will look at the other characters in the story and think that he's changed simply because they *say* he's changed. Except this breaks the "show don't tell" technique of writing. 1/5
Usually, writing includes "show don't tell" so that it comes off more meaningful. If Horikoshi were able to write Bkg's development more properly, it would feel more authentic and it would feel like he actually changed. His fans may say that he's improving but Bkg is so poorly written, that everytime he shows slight growth, he immediately regresses after. That is not good character development. 2/5
Of course development doesn't happen overnight, but why would Bkg tell a kid not to look down on others or else they won't recognize their mistakes, then insult Izuku and call him weak and insult the former OfA holders? Yes, sometimes a person can say one thing and do the opposite, but again, that is not good development. The fact that nearly everyone thinks he's well-written exposes the writing in this show tbh. 3/5
The show needs to stop saying that Bkg had improved and let the reader decide that themselves. The reader does not have to like Bkg even if he does get proper development. The show should stop saying how great and awesome and strong Bkg is and actually show us. Show us how hard Bkg is working. Show us he is changing. 4/5
Don't tell us he's working the hardest when Izuku's RIGHT there, constantly training and trying to improve his quirk. Izuku doesn't even need Bkg, his character is fine without him. And the fans need to calm down. It is not a requirement to like Bkg. As a person who used to like Bkg a lot, I've began to dislike him because of how overrated he is. So yeah sorry for writing so much lol, just wanted to vent. 5/5
You’re completely right. These are all points I’ve made before and I don’t think I’ll led anyone to believe I like Bakugou, so don’t worry about offending me by ripping him to shreds #WELOVETOSEEIT. Honestly, there are not many places where you can be critical of Bakugou without risking the abuse apologists bringing the wrath of god down upon you for it so if you want to vent to me on anon that’s better than the alternative.
Any fandom can be incredibly cruel when a “fave“ comes under scutiny they feel in undeserved, and I’ve seen enough artists/writers in this one suffer for trying to vent their frustrations about abusers getting redemption and the way the story treats abuse survivors’ stories is secondary and existing only to serve the abusers’ growth.
That said, I should say that we need to be civil. Don’t slide into bakugo/bk//dk comments or dms to yell at people, and tag anti- and critical posts. It only causes problems when people go on the attack due to pent up opinions. So feel free to vent to me about it, kay? I’m an Anti/Critical Bakugou blog/person and this is a safe space to yell about it. See ya round
So it's the vent anon and I'm just really frustrated?? Apparently my body cant go more than 6hrs without eating because then I get super fuzzy brain wise but I take adderall so I'm almost never hungry and it just makes me want to cry because I feel like im overeating and eating unnecessarily then on top of that I dont want to eat. But on the other hand I cant think if I dont eat. It's just super frustrating. I know you probably cant help but I really appreciate you listening
hey vent anon! (i can call you something else if you’d like)ohhhhh dudeeeee do i feel this. it’s the worst when it’s finals time for me. a big part of my ED is control (honestly, i’d say it’s 70% of it) and whenever things feel out of control i just want to starve. but i can’t, cause then i can’t focus on studying and get sick and have to take finals sick and it’s not fun at all.
like i said, i’m not the best at giving advice so take this with a pinch of salt. i’m not licensed or anything so this is just what i’d do.i think the most important thing is listening to your body. fasting isn’t the best or only way to get results, and as long as you watch what you eat you won’t be overeating. since you need to eat every six hours (which is totally valid! our bodies need food to survive and it’s actually suggested to eat every 3-4 hrs) i’d take your calorie budget for the day and divide it into 3 meals, leaving some left over for drinks and stuff.
let me give you an example with 1200 calories because i’d never suggest anything lower than that. you could do something like
breakfast (when you wake up, let’s say 9am) - 300 calslunch (6hrs later, so around 2-3pm) - 450 calsdinner (can be something small like fruits at around 7-8pm) - 150calsthis leaves you around 300 calories for drinks (to curb cravings)/snacks in between meals, fed every 6hrs so you don’t get that brain fuzziness, and still being able to lose weight.i usually do this when my life is together (which has been once) and it gives me great results. it causes me to be hungry more often, but drinking loads of water with my meal helps me be mindful of portion control because the water helps me feel fuller faster
i know not eating for long periods of time can be satisfying to our disordered brains, but if you keep trying to fight against your body you’ll end up binging and being counterproductive. as frustrating as it is, our bodies need food to survive. it’s all about how you work with your body clock.
you’re not a failure for needing to eat. this is all easier said than done and it’s a continuous process but just know you can achieve your goals. i know this is all easier said than done but you’re not alone on this and know you can talk to me at any time about anything, anon <3 please stay safe. listen to your body. much love <3(like i saaaaid this is just what i would do pls be careful)
okay, so im thinking about doing something that might actually result in me going homeless. im trans, and my family knows this, but they dont really accept it. they treat it as a joke, something that is used against me every day (like the cow joke, but thats for another vent). and ive talked with my whole family about this, about how theyre hurting me. and all they say is that i cant control how people act. but i had a sudden realization. i could control how i act about all this. (1/?)
(2/?) so, ive decided. im going to control the direction that my life takes for once. and it might leave me homeless and family-less. im going to tell them that i wont let them misgender me anymore. that im going to be called by my chosen name and pronouns, and if they dont, then ill leave. i might not be able to control them, but i can control who i let into my life. so ive decided that ill give them one last chance, and if they blow it, then im gone. without family, friends, support, money.
(3/3) so yeah. i kinda need someone to talk me out of this before i destroy my entire future. but this feels like something i should do. and im super conflicted, but what else can i do? i just… really needed to vent for a bit. help?
Anon, I know how it feels. I’m a gay trans person myself. And my family, well, they just don’t understand and they don’t want to. I’m not out, but it still hurts to hear their comments. Please think about what you’re doing.
I know they’re being cruel and hurtful, but don’t risk your lively hood. In a few years, you’ll be off in college. And in your own place and you’ll never have to deal with their belittling again.
If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen and try to give advice. But your well being is simply too important to risk. Because… what if they do blow it?
Where will you go? Are you old enough to get a job? To rent an apartment? Or do you have a friend/ relative you could stay with? These are very important questions that I ask myself all the time, if I had the means and the ability, I wouldn’t be living with my parents anymore. But I’m not about to risk my life. I can’t drive, I don’t have a job, I don’t have any friends, and it’s scary to think about. Because I want to pack up all my things and go. But I have no where to go.
I’m so sorry that this is happening, and I’m not suggesting that you pretend to be someone you’re not, but… it might just be the safest thing at this point in your life.
So, until you can answer all of those questions positively, please try to put it with their remarks. Pretend that they don’t bother you and that you don’t give a damn what you think. It’ll be hard, but hopefully worth it.
Thank you... (i'm the anon that asked if i could vent, when im done if you want you can add a response but you don't have to) so my two friends are hanging out together rn and i'm jealous,, so i was making jokes about how i was jealous in a 100% just trying to mess with my best friend like we always do kind of way, but it accidentally made him uncomfortable which i didn't mean to do but instead of apologizing i kinda just, walked away like "ok sorry bye then" which was a total mistake... (1/2)
(2/2) And like I want to apologize and talk about it but I don't want to ruin their time together with my issues because this was entirely my own fault, and I would talk about it with someone else but I can't because they're the only two I ever talk to... And I also can't mention it on a vague text post because then they'll get concerned so i just started having a panic attack and i hit the back of my head on the back of my bed really hard and, idk what to do... thanks for letting me vent <3
okay this is the vent anon again and idk if you read what i sent but i feel like i should just give an update: i did end up just saying what i thought to the other person (not the one i accidentally made uncomfortable) and then i wrote out bottled up emotions out onto a word doc and tomorrow ill send it to my best friend to read so we can resolve more issues than just what happened tonight. I'm probably so all over the place but thats okay, venting still helped. Thank you.
Hi lovely! I’m so sorry I’m just now reading this. I hope you’re feeling somewhat okay after your panic attack and hitting your head :( I think your update sounds like a really good plan for what to do next. Hopefully talking to the other person was helpful in its own way and they were able to reassure you about what happened? And I definitely think that getting to talk to your best friend about everything tomorrow will help a lot. I know how much little things can add up so it’s good to get them resolved when you can, and hopefully it will help both of you feel much better about what happened today. I’m rooting for you and have full faith that things will turn out okay. Just hang in there and good luck tomorrow! You’re so strong and you can do this! I’ll be here for you if you need any words of encouragement or want to give more updates or vent more <3
