Ur 10 And Ur A Boy And All U Ever Wanted Was To Draw A Picture

“...and I bullied him.”

hello, hello, good afternoon or evening or whatever time it is. so by now we’ve all had some time to bask in those “Kacchan admitted he cares about Deku” feels (well, technically they were “All Might pointed out that Kacchan was worried about Deku and Kacchan didn’t deny it” feels, BUT THOSE MIGHT AS WELL BE THE SAME FEELS, YOU KNOW). and it’s been lovely. I’ve been having a time. it’s been nice.

but now I would like to talk a bit more about a part of this chapter which I think was even more important.

for me, this was the line of the chapter. this one panel may honestly be the biggest piece of Kacchan character development since all the way back in chapter 120. “I ended up bullying him.” okay but guys?? can we just talk?? about how absolutely extraordinary this one sentence is.

Hi!

I want to play... 🛒 and 🎶!

heya, love! thank you for joining in and sending emojis :'> i hope you're doing alright!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

OOOH this is a very interesting question. hmmm. aside from vocabulary that inevitably gets repeated across fics (especially since i'm writing so much for the 2k drabble event), i think one common thing is the yearning LOL. i think it's a staple for the characters i write for (& are attracted to) because they're not the most expressive. i also struggle with expressing romantic feelings, and i find that many people relate to that, so by incorporating the experience of yearning in my fics, i stay true to my characters and enhance the self-insert experience, y'know?

aside from that, i also like to incorporate pregnant pauses. i can flat out say there's a pause or instead describe in detail how the air went silent, but either way, i think these lines are important for the succeeding paragraphs to hit harder, and for the pacing to flow better as well. of course, i struggle with not making things repetitive, so i try to mix up how i deliver that there is a pause.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

i generally do not, because i find that i can't focus well. if i do, though, and it's typically when i'm out in a coffee shop and they're blasting a song that i don't like (or is too distracting), i usually play lo-fi mixes of my favorite video games.

aaaand, i've been listening to this song as of late. it's by a singer-songwriter who i discovered on instagram <3

there's this video you've probably seen already where a woman is shaking in front of a microphone and delicately tries to ask - how can i make my husband listen to me, i've tried everything, i don't want to seem ungrateful and the other man laughs - the problem is that you married a man, we're only listening 25% of the time and we only understand 5% of that! and the audience laughs and the woman laughs and you just sat there, phone in your hand, letting the sound of it echo

and the thing is that people make think-pieces about it (isn't this one of them) and satire versions and "flipping the script" which is good and fun but at the end of the day, there's some truth in that man's response about men-not-listening. and you have tried to language that feeling for years, this sense that you can only take up 33% of a conversation before others view it as being "dominating".

it's not that they aren't listening, it's that the action they're taking is purposefully silencing. it's different. you accidentally-don't-listen a lot; just because the world is loud and you're distracted. you don't mean anything by it. and the truth is that the man who spoke is relying on that to be true of you; the way it's true of everyone. but there is a different undertone to his kind of not-listening. what he means is they don't respect you and you shouldn't expect them to. there is a difference between oh shit i forgot to take the trash out and why didn't you remind me to do it, just like there is a difference between i didn't realize you wanted to go out this weekend and why do you expect me to plan things why can't you just tell me where we're going.

and the thing is that it isn't just him, and it's actually not just because of your gender - your skin, your class status, your weight, their ableism - it happens often. so often it feels like a tightness around your throat and a weight in your stomach. you're not even "really" allowed to be upset about it, because to them it's a joke. and they laugh. and you know exactly the amount of work that goes into every conversation. how you have to work to condense down your thoughts into intelligent, crisp soundbites; worried someone will try to swoop in and cut you off. and there's this sense from everyone else - oh stop being so sensitive, are you really upset just because they weren't listening and you don't know how to say the way that feels when it happens constantly.

there's that video of the science summit where a woman in the audience finally says let her speak please! and the whole crowd bursts into applause and the man leading the summit holds up his hands and bows his head and says oops, sorry! like what he did was awkward and embarrassing, a little social gaffe that happens easily. later in your meetings, you're asked to take notes, and you don't say anything, you just hear let her speak please! ringing in your head and know that you'll never be brave enough for that kind of thing. and besides. think of all the people who agree this was a one-off, he just got excited and all of the people who say one man is not indicative of all of society

at the dinner table you're talking about someone you don't like and how he's not good to his girlfriend and how she always has to remind him to put the effort in and before him, she was glowing with curiosity and passion but now she just seems... tired, unhappy. that he likes the way she burns out; she stays home and takes care of him and their 2 kids. and your father sniffs and says that men take a while to learn those kinds of things. and you just stare at him and think about your childhood and are like - no wonder i turned out like this

and you want to say - there's no fucking secret school or mystic form of communication. i was not sent to Rearing a Child University. i did not graduate from Getting Chores Done College. i ask questions and i listen and i pay attention, because that's basic fucking human decency. it stems from respect, and how i respect others and their agency. i clean the house because someone should clean. not because it comes "naturally".

hell, you had to google "how to boil an egg" the other day, just because you usually make them scrambled. you can never remember which of the 2 bathroom cleaners make chlorine gas, only that two of them definitely do. you've accidentally bleached your clothes. it took you like 3 years of self-teaching before you figured out how to actually cook things correctly - for that whole time, you burnt or undercooked everything. but you did teach yourself; just like you taught yourself how to listen with empathy. just like how you taught yourself to think before you speak. to be kind first, to be better at communicating. it seemed like a good thing, an adult thing.

the joke the man in the video makes is that women say i'm fine! when they are not fine. and you think about the 150 conversations that happened around that; about how she probably has had so many arguments with her husband. how she said i'm upset you don't take me anywhere and he got mad at her because of course i do, you made me go to that stupid restaurant like last week and she probably said that's not what i'm saying and he said now i'm supposed to be psychic or something and she said no of course not and he said how am i supposed to know what to do when you don't even like everything and she said i do like things and he said well how am i supposed to win? and her pastor probably told her to be more grateful because they do things at all, even if she has to plan them and her mom probably told her that's just how men are honey and she probably cried over her journal, trying to figure out why the fuck she "has everything" and is still so bitterly, horribly unhappy

and how, in your life, for so many reasons, you looked down the barrel of another argument; of explaining yourself and being vulnerable and begging for help again. how many times you just said i'm fine because it was better than doing that again; it was better than wringing yourself out when it's literally easier to just pretend. because he wasn't going to listen. your father wasn't going to be better and your boyfriend wasn't going to be better and your boss wasn't going to be more respectful.

and you sit in front of a video of a woman shaking, looking horrible and guilt-wrought that she's even asking this question. and you know; deep in your heart - that's you. in a different life, you are her. you've stood in her spot. and you had to listen while someone else cackled - why would we bother to notice when you talk?

Another advice for girls and young women: love and sex is supposed to be fun, happy and make your life better. If it’s not, if it’s making you miserable, if it’s making you love yourself less, if it’s making you doubt yourself, and if you feel like you have to sacrifice yourself or put up with things you don’t want to, you are absolutely entitled to throw it out from your life. In fact, you should, because your life is so, so valuable and you have the right to be happy. Being a girl does not mean having to accept misery and pain, even if that’s what we’re often taught. You are allowed to decide what comes into your life. Let it be happy and beautiful.

"Why do I have to come with you," Bakugo grumbled as he and Kirishima walked up to your apartment together.

"I told you already," Kiri sighed. "Tetsutetsu was supposed to help me carry this table out for her but he pulled a muscle in the gym this morning. We'll be in and out fast, I promise."

"If you two start yapping I'm dragging you out."

Kirishima unlocked your front door himself with the spare key you gave him. "Furniture movers, at your service!"

"I'll be out in a second! You boys make yourselves comfortable," you called from the bedroom.

Bakugo sighed, glancing around the little one bedroom place you lived in. He's never been there before, obviously. You were Kirishima's friend after all. And he had no reason to want to be here either.

As Kiri went to check out the old dining table you were getting rid of, wanting to gauge how hard it'll be to move it, Bakugo's eyes naturally were drawn to the new dining table, already set up with a large vase of roses in the center.

"Sorry, I just got out of the shower," you said, hair still damp as evidence. You smiled at Kirishima, but looked a little confused when you saw Bakugo as well. "Oh. Hi. I thought Tetsu was coming to-"

"What are those?"

The question forces its way out before he can even try to stop it. He's glaring at the bouquet like they personally offended his entire family.

"Just a gift from a coworker," you shrugged.

"Oh shit, the muffin guy?" Kirishima asks. "He's graduated to flowers?"

"Yeah, he-"

Bakugo slid past Kirishima, angrily picking the heavy wooden table up by himself and carrying it effortlessly out your front door.

"I said no yapping," he grumbles, ignoring Kirishima's defensive 'you started it!'

he is sitting and pondering
