So apparently some people are thinking Bakugou is genuinely angry/upset that Izuku is complimenting him here?

First off, the speech bubble-biting is meant to be a joke. It’s meant to be funny, like Bakugou’s exaggerated expressions often are.

Secondly, Kacchan vs Deku 2 is fairly recent. Before that, Bakugou assumed Izuku was constantly looking down on him, and took his words and actions are such. Now, that misunderstanding has been cleared up. He’s aware that Izuku’s admiration is genuine. Izuku’s so upfront with his appreciation of Bakugou’s new costume, and Bakugou’s not used to interpreting this positively.

The most likely reason for his behaviour here is… he genuinely doesn’t know how to react. He’s not used to this. He’s been complimented his whole life because of his Quirk, but this is Izuku in particular complimenting him, and he knows Izuku means it. He’s not prepared for that after so long thinking Izuku’s words are mocking, so this is what he defaults to.

Not to mention, post-Kacchan vs Deku 2, Bakugou complimented Izuku himself, although the translations don’t exactly convey this correctly; he was telling Izuku his punches pissed him off because they caught him off guard. It’s a good thing.

Basically, in regards to Bakugou and Izuku’s interactions, given the complexity of their relationship it’s important to look back on recent events to analyse why exactly Bakugou is reacting this way.

Just gonna leave this here since people apparently can’t leave me alone and because this is the reason I’m not even entertaining or wasting my energy responding to any of the foolishness going on because some of you have taken this situation WAY too far and you need to stop beating a dead horse and move on with your lives.

I’m sure many other people are sick and tired of seeing this drama and just want to get back to the daily KatsuDeku schedule. I’m well aware some people are purposely dragging this out because of personal grudges, and its pretty amusing.

Anyways, I don’t want negativity on my blog at all, but it seems I have no choice but to stand up for myself, especially since my harassers and stalkers from my past have tried to take an opportunity of this situation to twist things around to their advantage.

To the people who are continuing to harass me like some sort of sick game, you guys are really pathetic if your lives are so sad that you have to spend your Spring Break continuously harassing someone like this even though they’ve already did what they could to make amends. Starting a smear campaign and trying to get a kick or jab at me whenever you can because you aren’t satisfied I’m not giving you a boohoo reaction or whatever the hell some of you are hung up about is so unnecessary and juvenile.

You’re obviously not trying to do the right thing or spread awareness like you claim to be if you stoop this low and continue targeting someone for harassment. You’re just being bullies with nothing better to do, and you’re actually making western fandom look worse with your unforgiving lynch mob mentality.

Now I’m gonna say this once, and I hope anyone who reads this remembers it well. I am stronger than you think and nothing any of you say or do will stop me from doing what I enjoy. Please do feel free to continue talking about me obsessively, because it just shows how sad some of you are with your own lives if you’re too busy obsessing over mine. In all honesty, I couldn’t care less about what strangers hidden behind a computer screen think of me.

No matter how much any of you try to slander my character or bring me down, I’ll still be here because I ain’t going anywhere. If you don’t like it PLEASE block me. You’ll be doing me a huge favor because I seriously don’t have time for any of this petty immature internet bullshit.

You don’t know me, and I am not scared of your childish witchhunts. I am not scared of your lies, slander, and harassment, and I am not gonna be scared away by drama starved cyberbullies just because they deemed me wanting to thank my supporters with my translation services as something to permanently hang me for. I stand by my belief that translating is a valid form of labor and translators should be paid for their time and their share of hard work by translating.

Also again, cut the holier-than-thou crap with the “other translators who post doujinshi translations and BNHA scanslations in public are more ethical” because its not ethical when you know damn well those translators didn’t get permission to upload them publicly and you know it hurts those artists and Hori too.

(source: https://yabakuboii.tumblr.com/post/171868540494/psa-on-re-uploaded-doujinshi-translations-due-to)

You can’t go shaming someone with “DON’T DO THAT YOU’LL HURT THE CREATORS!” Then turn around and do exactly just that by reading their works on pirating sites for free. Don’t be hypocrites. I find it ironic how some of you go on about legalities, but you’re completely aware the BNHA scanlations are piracy as well as the manga and anime you enjoy for free every week on pirating websites.

Now why did I think it was okay to translate privately? Because people post fan art and translate privately in discord servers and messaging apps without permission all the time. I think there’s a difference in sharing privately and publishing stuff in public. I’ve already explained why I didn’t see a problem translating in private before because so much of this behavior is normalized in fandom so I’m not gonna beat a dead horse.

I know who I am, my real friends and supporters know who I am, and they know I would never go around with the ill intentions I’m being accused of having. I clearly stated what services I was providing, linked and gave proper credit, and never claimed anyone else’s work as mine. If you wanna forsake me because I thought it was alright to do translation commissions privately, feel free to do so. I don’t want to be around people that make me feel like I’m walking on eggshells in fear I’ll make a mistake and have my throat slit for it because an apology would never matter to you guys anyways. Sounds too stressful to me, so no thanks.

I’m not here to please people who are quick to throw me under a bus over gossip, rumors, or the moment I slip up. Like excuse my language, but take your fakeass outta here. Some of you act like you’ve never made a mistake you regretted in your lives. Stop trying to constantly shame people for their mistakes when you know no one is perfect.

And for the love of god, please watch out who’s words you decide to believe. Most of these petty grown ass women trying to make me look like a monster by spreading more rumors and lies are my obsessive stalkers from my past who harassed me and my friends, and they’re taking this opportunity to get back at me.

Continue under the cut. Its a damn shame I have to defend myself from these disgusting people and their harassment yet again. What part of “leave me the hell alone and stop harassing me” do you guys not understand?

Keep reading

Hahaha, “‘toxic?”’ From what I’ve seen, it’s the exact opposite way around. You’ve deliberatly created scenarios to bait people into situations to make them look bad, have used excuses to victimize yourself that contradict each other, and have harassed and blamed others of things that they didn’t do, spreading lies like they’re the plague. Most of the drama that you complain about has been created by yourself- and then you turn right around, accuse those who call you out on it, and thow a tantrum about how you’re the one being attacked! Look at you, whining about how you hate negativity and wasting time on people “'harassing you”’ (fighting back, rather) and then compiling a huge post talking about how pathetic they are and how they’re twisting things to their advantage, trying to get a reaction out of you. You’re narrating your own faults! Every single damn time you tried to supposedly distance yourself from petty internet drama, you turn right around and throw insults at the people calling you out on your bullshit, accusing them of stalking you and slandering your name. If you don’t want drama, stop pulling all this bullshit! Namedropping didn’t do anything to prove your point, nor did thowing a fuss about the whole translation scheme make your “’'apology”“ seem sincere. No one who is actually sorry would make a post so laden with accusations and justifications. You’re beating a dead horse and trying to make yourself look like a hero, and frankly, it’s disgusting. I usually don’t participate in fandom drama. I usually ignore petty bitches like you, because frankly, all this mean-girls esque bitchslapping is better suited to high school girls on their periods than grownass adults actually trying to enjoy themselves in fandom. But the shit you’re pulling is, quite frankly, goddamn disgusting at the worst, and irritating as hell in the least, and I’m tired of seeing fandom producers bogged down by you bitching about them for no reason other than they like diffent things than you do. Do everyone a favor, and shut the fuck up.

Well said, dear @fallenprussiansoldier

Okay, you’ve made it, Lyric.

You’ve finally made me lose my last thread of patience for you.

For starters, I want to point out that using a screenshot of one person agreeing with you doesn’t help your case. I mean, that’s obvious with anyone with critical thinking but I appreciate your attempts at saving your skin, even though it could all have been solved if you had at least tried to write a decent apology for PROFITING OF OTHER ARTISTS’ WORKS BY MAKING A PATREON FOR TRANSLATIONS OF DOUJINS WITHOUT THE ARTISTS PERMISSION instead of writing a call out post attacking other translators that had nothing to do with what you did, and pretending to be the victim as per usual.

You’re calling people harassers and stalkers, even though you are the one who harassed many people from the owari no seraph fandom including many close friends of mine by telling your followers and your friends how oh so bad they were, using out of context screenshots just like you’re doing right now, that is without mentioning the top-bottom wars you caused, of course.

Out of appreciation and respect for our mutuals in common (I’m really sorry everyone) as well as because of my personal hope that you would stop attacking anyone who didn’t share your tastes or agreed with everything you said, I let you be.

But you’ve done it… you have yet again posted out of context screenshots of a very dear friend of mine, in your cute attempt at deviating the attention from your own faults just like you did with your “apology”.

Why don’t you show the whole conversation, hmm? Too scared to show the truth behind the context? Just how desperate are you to keep the few followers that aren’t bots you still have?

What are you going to do, now that everyone is finally seeing just what kind of person you are? Are you going to message me privately in an attempt to manipulate me into saying things that will allow you to take out of context screenshots to help your case too? Are you going to send even more bots to defend you? Are you going to flood my askbox with death threats too? Are you going to post this on your private chats to make all your friends hate me again? Are you going to use your non-existent psychoanalyst to say just how bad I am, instead of finally going to one (a real one, I mean) yourself?

You can’t keep running away from your faults and trying to make everyone else look bad. We will not let you do that anymore.

If you try to bring Kumi or anyone else into your mess again, I will have to let you know that the people you have harassed aren’t bots. I am not a bot. My friends are not bots, my followers are not bots.

Your supporters, however…

hamartian-cathexis

ok, so for starters

i am here because my intentions were misrepresented.

there are reasons for why i dont want to post the rest of the conversation that happened between seairu and i (at like, 4am my time too, im fucking tired guys–i cant fucking believe i had to wake up to people informing me that a screenshot of a private conversation, used without my permission, was used to open a call-out post in an issue that i had clearly expressed i wanted no part in).

the screencap that seairu included there was my attempt to remain neutral and to avoid picking a fight.

the only reason why we were speaking at all was because i was passing along a message from someone else.

but, to clarify:

when i say “i agree that what happened was a really bad overreaction to what was essentially a really small, technical difference.” i was talking about the ethical difference between commissioned translations that are paid for individually, as a service, versus putting translations behind a paywall, which makes it a good.

to me this is a very subtle, technical difference. and when trying to figure out what the fuck was going on it took me awhile to figure out what the issue was.

this post cleared things up for me.

and i stand by my statement–all of this drama regarding this issue was overblown.

HOWEVER. that is NOT criticizing the people that were calling seairu out for this.

even if it’s a small, technical issue, i do think its worth pointing out. even though it confused me a lot and it annoys me to see drama when im just here to have a good time, like everyone else, im glad to have been educated more on this issue.

but in my opinion, the reason why the drama got so bad wasn’t the fault of the people criticizing seairu. it’s seairu’s actions that dragged this out for so long.

here are some other things that i said to seairu during this conversation.

and the response was:

to which i said:

in other words:

1. if you’re going to take screencaps of private conversations, the least you could do is blur my url out. as i have said, i didnt want to get involved at all. im only here because my views were misrepresented, and i felt that it was necessary to clear things up because my words were used to open up a call-out against people who, as far as i know, have done nothing wrong.

2. i think it’s important to acknowledge that seairu did take measures to fix their mistake (i.e. taking things down and giving refunds, etc.) HOWEVER,

3. i think the issue stopped being about paywalls and translation services a long time ago. the issue is actually seairu’s conduct. as @fallenprussiansoldier and @no-signs-no-lights have said already:

as i told seairu, i think the best course of action would have been to leave things alone.

i expressed wanting to not have anything to do with this drama.

i even said that to seairu out of consideration for them, because in my honest opinion, if seairu had just left things at the apology (though i agree, it was a shitty apology because it was less of an “im sorry i was wrong” and more of a “i still dont see why what i did was wrong–look at all these uninvolved people who have done nothing to me, let’s go attack THEM instead”), taking things down, and giving refunds–the issue would already be over.

so imagine my consternation, when seairu used a screencap from our conversation to do the EXACT OPPOSITE.

dont fucking ask me to ask people to take down their call-out posts, and complaining about witchhunts, and then turn around and make more call-out posts and trying to start witchhunts of your own.

i can’t fucking believe i had to do this at all.

Hello! As most of you know, recently there have been posts regarding a translator profiting off eastern artists’ works through patreon and ko-fi. Although she was never attacked, harassed, or explicitly mentioned by the original post, user @seairu-kun (tumblr) / @seairu_ (twitter) spoke up and admitted that it was her doing. Her most recent posts showed that instead of a proper apology to the artists, she responded with a post that named several translators who were completely unrelated to the incident, for actions she believes justify her own but are not the same.

This is a direct response to @seairu-kun for her allegations against the named individuals translating Katsudeku fanart from eastern artists and to explain why her methods are harmful towards these artists.

Before I respond to Seairu’s post, people will say “you should’ve messaged her personally” and I did (screenshots of this convo below).

the original ask message to Seairu: “Posting your translations privately is a good way to respect the artists’ work, but posting them so only that people who pay you can read it is the opposite of respecting it… please create a private blog or something instead of using kofi and patreon to release privately, the artists get no revenue from what you’re doing and exposure isn’t a payment. having a kofi for tips or donations is perfectly fine, but translating a work doesn’t make it yours, this money shouldn’t be going to you.”

1) “I didn’t realize providing my translations in private was a bad thing”

It isn’t, if it was a 1 unique translation to 1 unique commissioner for personal uses type of situation. She has been repeatedly charging people $3 on ko-fi for the same translated page. This means that she’s profited off the same translated page multiple times, which is different than charging 1 unique commissioner for 1 unique translation. In addition, Seairu asks for “donations” through ko-fi, but they are only donations in name. By withholding a product before a sum of money is given and charging “donors” (clients) for a “donation” (purchase), it becomes a TRANSACTION.

Translators such as shousanki, whom Seairu pointed out, minimize the damage done to artists by charging a unique commissioner once to cover the hours spent translating one unique doujinshi/comic and can scarcely be classified as a profit. This is more ethical than what Seairu has been doing, which is profiting off the same artist over the same artwork multiple times.

2) “…maybe have a talk with the other popular bakudeku translators in this fandom who post doujinshi on public sites like myreadingmanga while promoting their kofi links and zines?”

Shiku/shousanki (tumblr): “I don’t know how Patreon works exactly, nor can I speak for other translators who use it, so I will only be clarifying how my own process goes. Generally when I take commissions it’s for full-length doujinshi and inclusive of typesetting, cleaning, and editing services. Additionally, a large number of my commissions are private in that one client pays money for the completed product, along with exclusive rights to it, which means I won’t redistribute it to anyone else. More commissions tend to be for original manga rather than doujinshi as well. In the case of public doujinshi translation, again, only one client-to-translator transaction occurs. I’d consider donations and commissions to be in entirely different leagues, too. Even if nobody donates money to my ko-fi, or nobody donates requesting a particular translation, whatever translations I have planned to post for free ends up posted eventually.”

Kat and Vivie/Revenge of the Dicku (MRM): “Hello, we’re very confused as to why we were brought up in the first place. We’ve never really interacted with seairu before; we’re not sure why she specifically named us when her argument seems to be pointing at any and all translators and we’re pretty new in the field. Not to mention, our situation is clearly very different because we give out all translations for free and never profit off of the original artist. As for our ko-fi, like most translators, we put up our link at the end of each doujin as a suggestion; it is meant to be on a purely donation-basis, aka we will NEVER withhold translations until someone gives us money. We produce translations, and if people wanna donate, it’s their choice. Moreover, these donations have and will be solely channelled to the production costs of the zine that we’re helming, so we essentially take no money out of this at all. Also, we’re not sure why our zine (AKOGARE) is implicated in this at all either. Either way, we do this so we can share with our friends so if people do not like what we do, then we will simply take everything down, it’s no loss for us. Thanks for listening.”

3) “I don’t understand how the fandom normalizes this and goes on reading scanlations of the BNHA manga every week, but turns around acting holier-than-thou while trying to ruin someone’s life in the process”

Scanlators (namely Fallen Angels and Mangastream) for BNHA offer their translations for free (you can choose to donate if you want), and do not charge readers $3 per translated page. The issue isn’t about reading things for free - the issue is about making (a lot of) money off somebody else’s hard work.

Asking for donations is completely fine as long as it’s optional. It is not okay to demand that people pay you for something that doesn’t belong to you. Yes, translation work is hard, and it is a service (many translators agree), but in the end, it is not the translator’s content. The hours they spend translating someone else’s words into another language are dwarfed in comparison to the hours of work the artist spends coming up with a plot, composing dialogue, lining, drawing and shading for a doujin; therefore, translators do not have the right to demand money from others for something that is not theirs. Translators may be approached for a commission and offered a one-time payment to compensate them for their time, but this situation is different since Seairu has been reselling the same set of translations to make a lot of money.

Below are pictures of Seairu’s ko-fi, Patreon, and posts about how she is offering to translate doujins and comics only if people become her patron or donate a ko-fi .

Note that it says “donate to [Seairu’s] patreon” but again, it CANNOT be called a donation because the doujins and comics are behind a paywall and money is demanded first. Most doujin artists charge 400-1200 YEN ($4-12) per doujin to primarily cover production costs IN ADDITION TO little comics they post for FREE on twitter and pixiv. Seairu has been charging people much more than the ORIGINAL CONTENT CREATORS and profiting off of that.

(In case people are unaware, Patreon works like a subscription sort of platform - you pledge a certain amount of money that corresponds to a tier, and you get content according to the tier you paid for. Effectively, you get multiple people paying for the same translation done by Seairu.)

4) “… but I’ve already taken down everything I could at the moment, and I sincerely apologize for my ignorance”

Ignorance seems unlikely since people have reached out to Seairu regarding this problem. They reached out to her in DMs to ask her politely to take them down, and she refused to acknowledge her wrongdoings, instead choosing to point fingers at other unrelated translators.

If this still doesn’t seem like a problem, below are screenshots of artists that Seairu’s profited off saying they’re not okay with their works being used for profit:

Hibarihiro: Original and Translated Conversation

Evidence of Seairu reselling the same translation multiple times through her ko-fi account.

Seairu has since deleted her translation posts for these artists’ works, but -

Shibaya:

Silverstar and Yutah:

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a response from silverstar, but their bio says no reposts are allowed, and it’s even in English.

Yutah believed that people were just giving gifticons to Seairu as thanks for her translations; Yutah did not know that Seairu actually opened a Patreon to profit off of her works.

5) “… to support my translation work since [it’s] a hard job that takes up many hours of my day…”

Yes, translation does take a long time, so it really doesn’t make sense to implicate other translators who are doing this for fun or to get by. As stated in Seairu’s patreon, she hoped to make this a “full time job,” profiting off of the works of artists who are unhappy with her doing so.

Many of these artists are against reposting at all, and some allow it with permission but ONLY IF the reposters do not profit from them. Artists who don’t want people to repost their art, much less demand money for it, WILL NOT HESITATE to lock or delete their accounts, their art, and start mass blocking English speaking fans. It’s happened before. Some artists have already done this and will continue to do so. They will NOT hesitate to stop sharing their beautiful art and ideas with us because some people just can’t respect their wishes. There’s a reason why the western fandom has such a bad reputation amongst eastern artists and what Seairu is doing is just aggravating the situation. Not only that, but upon being faced with upset artists and facts, she decided to point fingers at unrelated translators, people who do such for a one time commission and later make it available for free, as well as translators who do it for free and have ko-fis as SUGGESTIONS only. Her “donations” are TRANSACTIONS for something that is not hers, and this is illegal.

Below is a link that talks deeper about translated commissions versus a paywall: http://dmmegsie.tumblr.com/post/171857295019/clarifying-commissionspaywalls-versus-donations

Overall commissioned translation for one person privately is fine. But when you create a paywall for multiple people to pay that’s when damage is being done.

If possible, Seairu should refund the money or share profits with the artists. She has responded to messages on tumblr saying that she has apologized to the artists in question and it would be well received for her to post screenshots of these conversations.

None of the original posters used Seairu’s name, but many knew of these illegal actions. This is not a “witch hunt”, but note that no other translators were mentioned until Seairu herself brought them up with her own post (which is titled as an apology, but does not feel like one since she doesn’t post her apology to the artists). She continued to reblog posts mentioning the other translators while none of them have reblogged the post that contains Seairu’s name.

Please do not support these kinds of actions, whether that be illegally mass profiting off of other’s work or attempting to shift the blame onto others.

Soulmates AU. Midoriya has always known he and Bakugou had matching tattoos, but after a horrific altercation in high school where Bakugou destroyed his own tattoo, Midoriya believed it was a sign that his soulmate had permanently discarded him. As adults and best friends, Midoriya pretends like none of it matters and Bakugou wishes he could take it all back.

Wah, this story was originally written in heavy prose and is a lot longer, so it was a little odd transitioning it into a comic. Even just this short moment turned out twice as long as i anticipated, lol. Reads left-to-right.

Special thanks to @royaljellybeans for being my personal assistant and making my life less of a living hell during the two weeks it took to translate this beast! I’d also like to thank my proofreaders; I won’t name them because of the shit they might get for assisting in the translation of such a controversial ship when they aren’t even that involved with the fandom, but thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Lastly, please don’t attack anyone; if you must verbally abuse someone over ethics and morality and shipping, please do so in my ask box and not anyone else’s.

Enjoy! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
