Jean-Luc Picard:

And yet people still manage to get it backwards???

how do you play a kind prank on someone?

I’ve told this story before, but I will again.

When I lived in London, there was an old widow who lived near me. She had almost nothing to her name thanks to the laws at the time, except a small room in a house full of lodgers. She frequently made the difference in her meager living by doing spinning. Trouble was, she was almost completely blind and had very frail hands. She would nod off in her chair–the one piece of furniture she had–and leave the wool in the basket. I could see her from the rooftop that I liked to sit on, just off of Fish Street. And I knew her at sight, because she was always meeting her daughter in front of a particular shop I used to frequent. One night, I saw her nod off and the spindle hit the floor, and I thought, “I’m bored, and isn’t this a fun game to play?”

So I went and did it. I like spinning. It’s calming. It troubled me not one bit to do, and when the habit persisted, she began to wonder about it. She started leaving me presents and relying on me a bit, going to sleep on her mat, rather than sitting up in the chair. The spinning would always be done. 

What wrong with giving an old woman magic, if it is within your power to do?

I found her body when she died, by that very means, and made sure someone else knew of it. It makes me very happy that when she laid down that night, perhaps not feeling her best, or perhaps knowing it was time, she said to herself, “My little imp will come tonight and see to me.”

And I did.

MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO

[kazjaurelia]

[kazjaurelia]

eait wait i just had an au idea.

Zuko is about 3-4 years older then in canon. But everything else is the exact same - he was still banished at 13, he was still told to search for the avatar, all of it. He’s just been banished for close to 7 years instead of 3.

So when he pulls up to the Southern Water Tribe, he see’s Aang and the line “you’re just a child” isn’t said in anger - he’s just a child how can i prove to my father im strong if he’s just a child there is no honor in besting a child - it’s in horror - because that is a child, and his father has never shown a child mercy, (and Azula is still there, Azula who was only 7 when he left, Azula who barely knows him except in letters and his fathers lies) and he is so tired of watching children, his people, his children, burn.

So he pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs because fuck. “Ok kid get on the boat.”

“Why?” The Avatar asks, eyes wide.

“You need a ride to the north, right? Get on the boat you cam hitch with us. There’s no reason to stick around.”

The man (teenager, boy, war paint smudging from where snow had slipped down his hood) steps forward, spear pointed at Zukos chest. “And why should we trust anything you say, ashmaker.”

It’s a fair question. Zuko blinks once, considering, and blinks again, turning to face his ship. “Hai Wani!” He shouts, smirking as faces pop into view, some hanging out the portholes. Apparently they’d all wanted to see the what was going on. “Anyone here still loyal to Ozai?”

There’s a pause, and Jee’s armour creaks in a ‘wtf my lord’. Mouthy bastard.

Teruko scrambles out of a porthole, hanging from the rivets, “HEY IS IT TREASON TIME? ARE WE DOING TREASON NOW?? FUCKING FINALLY CAPTAIN WE THOUGHT YOUD NEVER ASK!!”

And Zuko laughs, turning back to the child avatar, “that’s the proof i can offer you now.”

—

Iroh is waiting for them on deck, hands folded in his sleeves and his face as calm as the sea.

Zuko stops, facing him, hand on the - Aang, he said his name is Aang - shoulder. “He is a child,” he says, unwavering. “And I will not look away.”

Dadzawa fic rec list #2

You guys really seemed to like my last dadzawa rec list, so here’s p2. Once again, they’re in no particular order of greatness, and many of the summaries were very long so I put the shortened down versions of them. 

1) Splintering Ice- emmals16

Aizawa should really consider not letting his kids off campus at all. It never goes well. He has enough nightmares about their past excursions gone-wrong. And dragging a half-frozen kid out of a frozen lake is definitely something that will haunt him forever.

Incomplete, 9/10. Hella fucking good angst, I LOVE the protective!Dadzawa in this, it absolutely does not shy away from anything, it is raw and angsty and beautiful. This one is so painfully underrated too, it deserves so much more attention so please go read it, it’s so well-written. 

2) Smoke before fire- achievingelysium

Aizawa meets Midoriya’s middle school teacher, who seems to have an alarming view of his former student.

One-Shot. Dadzawa angry at how his broccoli son was treated. Love it, but I literally love everything that achievingelysium writes so yeah, go read all their stuff, they write amazing BNHA pics.

3) Refraction- achievingelysium

After an incident that leaves several students hospitalized, Shouta thinks about one student—Midoriya—and finds he’s reminded of a friend from another time.

One-Shot. Manga spoilers for this one, so I won’t say much in my review, but like all of achievingelysium’s stuff, it’s very good.

4) Of Bias and Bravery- Mintoki

“It’s not that his peers are inherently cruel to the Quirkless. Izuku firmly believes that, if the truth ever got out to his classmates, they would still welcome him with open arms. At the same time though, acceptance does not necessarily mean they are well-informed on the subject. His classmates might be well-intentioned, but sometimes the words that come out of their mouths cut deeper than even he could have ever expected.”

One-Shot. I LOVE this one. It’s so painfully delicious (I’m a sadist) to see how even Izuku’s friends are affected by society’s ignorance and how it hurts my precious broccoli boi. This isn’t a dadzawa centric fic, but it has a very nice dadzawa moment at the end, so I included it.

5) Dam failure- orkestrations

Aizawa addresses the fact that Bakugou physically assaulted Midoriya, for no good reason, during their final exam.

One-Shot. Dadzawa doing what he really should’ve fucking done in the show?? Thank you!!

6) The World on His Shoulders- baggytshirtsandtiredeyes

During their second year, Aizawa decides to take some of the students on patrol to give them a taste of the underground hero life. But of course, nothing goes as planned when UA’s resident Problem Child is involved.

One-Shot. OOO I LOVE THIS ONE! Usually a lot of Aizawa and Midoriya fics are whump but for once this involves Aizawa actually being shook and amazed at Midoriya’s strength cuz he’s a freakishly strong boi and everyone should remember that!

7) Problem toddler- anonymous

Izuku gets deaged, and Yagi learns what suffering is.

One-Shot. Dadzawa AND Dadmight for you! Featuring jealous!Dadmight cuz baby Midoriya loves Dadzawa more.

8) Fatherly Affection- otawritesthings

Shota Aizawa ’s full time job is teaching. It is NOT fathering twenty-something screaming highschoolers. It isn’t. Nope.

22 Chapters. Gotta love Dadzawa pretending like he’s not a dad when he’s in the act of being a dad. I like how each chapter focuses on his interactions with a specific member of class 1-A, even the ones that get less screen time. 

9) Recovery- liions

Class 1-A has been noticing something different about their teacher since the USJ Incident. Not bad different, just, Different. It fueled their gossip hours, just why did he keep dropping things? Midoriya gets a chance to find out.

One-Shot. I love fics that actually address the consequences of big, traumatic events, like Kamino, the camp attack, or heck even Bakugou attacking Midoriya during their test. Or, in this case, USJ and the Nomu beating Aizawa to a pulp. Fun times- not. 

10) darken your door- beeclaws

Aizawa tries to go get popcorn and instead gets an uncomfortable encounter with a student’s estranged father.

Three chapters. BRUH how have I not mentioned beeclaws before? They write THE BEST dadzawa fics! This one is one of my favs, but they have plenty of other great ones too! 

________________________________________________

I’m sure I still have a lot more (I love reading Dadzawa fics) so if you guys want another rec list after this, let me know! But for now, toodles! 

[kazjaurelia]

Dadzawa fic rec list

So lately I’ve been reading a lot of Dadzawa fics so I thought I’d share them with you. I shortened down the summaries of some of the longer ones- I didn’t put them in my own words of course, but I just used the shortened snippets that authors sometimes put at the end of their own longer summaries. They’re in no particular order of greatness, and I tried to get a good blend of popular and less popular ones so here u go.

1) i. shaky hands- rexcorvidae

midoriya has chronic pain, and tries to hide it. aizawa deals with this, and learns something surprising along the way.

One-Shot. Honestly their whole whumptober collection is amazing I would totally read them all if you have the time, they’re pretty much all loaded with great Dadzawa content

2) Not all exits are made Equal- LunaLucrea

When a raid goes wrong, and Aizawa gets taken, he’s hardly expecting to be found. He’s a professional Underground Hero. He’s seen situations like this play out before, and knows how the cards usually fall.

He’s got people he’ll miss of course, and he feels terrible about what this is going to do to Hizashi and Eri, but these are the types of risks he agreed to when he signed on the dotted line all those years ago. He’s ready to accept his fate.

Too bad for him his former students are tenacious little shits.

Three chapters. I love seeing how Aizawa interacts with older Midoriya in the first chapter and how he thinks of all of his former students now that they’re pro heroes, he’s such a proud dad but he’s also so self-deprecating and he needs some love and class 1-A will force it on him. Wholesome, 10/10, but also warning for whump! on Aizawa’s part.

3) To the people we admire- The_ crownless_ queen

Eri learns about autographs, and how they’re a way for fans to show they like their heroes. Naturally, she wants all of them — and especially Eraserhead’s.

One-Shot. I don’t read many Eri fics but my god, this one is adorable. Eri learns about autographs and wants Aizawa’s but his students know that Aizawa doesn’t really give autographs so they devise a plan to get one out of him- basically by making him jealous of Eri getting autographs from every hero but him. It’s wholesome, Dadzawa is like ‘wtf Eri’, I love it.

4) Inhibitions- Thealmostrhetoricalquestion

Todoroki gets zapped by a Quirk that effectively lowers someone’s inhibitions, and Aizawa deals with the strange, humorous, heart-breaking fallout.

The train ride back is something of a nightmare. Not because it goes badly, or because something awful happens, but because Aizawa can’t get rid of this feeling in his chest every time he sees Todoroki’s unusual, carefree smile. He looks like nothing has ever hurt him.

One-Shot. Lol, this one’s funny- Todoroki acts all loopy and carefree and Aizawa is frantically scrambling after him trying to make sure he doesn’t get himself into trouble, all while finding out more than he’d ever thought he’d learn about his student. Good shit, good comedy, good angst.

5) I consider myself lucky- alightintheshadows

For some of us, our teachers are the greatest role models we’ll ever have.

One-Shot. Ugh, this is so sappy and kinda cheesy but I love it! Izuku gives his dads All Might and Aizawa gifts because he loves is grateful to them. WHOLESOME SHIT

6) Not in the Job Description- IidaRei98

A collection of drabbles revolving around the Dadazawa and Class 1A. Mostly fluff with some hurt/comfort - whatever pops into my head really!

Incomplete, 56/? Chapters. Solid collection of dadzawa drabbles. I didn’t finish reading them all because I get easily distracted away from long fics, but since it doesn’t follow a plot it’s easy to put down and pick back up when you wanna get your dadzawa fix.

7) passing through fire- achievingelysium

“What happened? A villain?”

“Ye- yeah,” Midoriya croaks. Shouta starts walking.

“I was there,” Shouta says, feeling through the words before he speaks, “but I don’t remember?”

Midoriya closes his eyes.

“No,” he agrees, “you wouldn’t. But- but you… were there. With… me.”

Aizawa finds himself in a street with little memory of how he got there. Then he discovers Midoriya, beaten and bruised, who claims Aizawa protected him—but as Aizawa regains pieces of his memory he realizes Midoriya may be lying, and he’s the one who’s done his own student harm.

One-Shot. OOH, OUCH, FUCKING LOVE THIS ONE! God I love the Dadzawa ANGST in this! I haven’t seen a dadzawa fic with a plot like this before, so I highly recommend checking this one out, especially if you like ANGST! Love it!

8) a penny for your thoughts- cassiopeia721

While visiting Eri at the hospital following her rescue from the Shie Hassaikai, Izuku and Aizawa-sensei both run into a nurse with a telepathy based quirk, and Izuku finds himself in a telepathic bond with his teacher. This is… somewhat worrying, considering how many secrets Izuku needs to keep.

Six chapters. Yet another Dadzawa fic with a unique concept that I have never come across before. Very good, much angst! My only complaint is I wish Izuku could’ve heard a bit more of Aizawa’s angsty thoughts, the whole thought-hearing did feel a bit one-sided at times, but overall it was a very good fic. The angst of Izuku struggling to keep his many secrets from Aizawa for a whole week was *chef’s kiss* Good dad-son bonding.

9) Geyser- spineless

Izuku faints during class when weeks of sleeping and eating poorly catch up with him. Aizawa, All Might, and his friends, remind him that no matter what he’s going through, he doesn’t have to do it alone.

Three Chapters. Good Dadzawa being all disapproving of his son Izuku pushing himself too hard and not taking care of himself like he can fucking talk lol. But also some angst cuz Izuku is a tormented boi who has been through too much and is Not OkayTM and his dads are there to help him.

10) The World on His Shoulders- baggytshirtsandtiredeyes

During their second year, Aizawa decides to take some of the students on patrol to give them a taste of the underground hero life. But of course, nothing goes as planned when UA’s resident Problem Child is involved.

One-Shot. Izuku is a BAMF and Aizawa is like O.O. I can’t say anything more. This fic deserves more attention.

Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.

I’m watching the campaign wrap up and the M9 are just the embodiment of this meme

in no particular order and for no particular reason: best examples of fjord and veth fucking with one another

the whole saga of captain button beard, which veth fully realized was him being patronizing and sarcastically played along with, and then repeated and threw back at him in the tunnels to xhorhas, to which fjord not only played along but outright echoed her “this fucker!” line when he did.

the first use of veth’s disguise self being to turn herself into a mini version of fjord, arguably setting off their rivalry forever

the first use of disguise self after fjord regains his powers being to turn himself into a huge version of nott

fjord letting her cross a dangerous river and only then parting the waters, rendering the effort pointless, after assuring her he would do no such thing. (bonus: caleb, ever biased, using her rope anyway).

that time fjord woke her up by gently picking up her while she slept and then fucking dropping her

i will throw you in the lava... you couldn’t

when fjord got swallowed by that worm thing and veth tried to pull him out, failed her strength check, he made fun of her, and she decided to push him back in instead

[kazjaurelia]

[kazjaurelia]

i really hate coming out but still want my extended family to know, so my mother took it upon herself to invent the game “guess which one of my kids is gay.”

the rules are simple.

sit down with uncle so-and-so

he says something about gay people in passing

my mom says “there’s a gay person at this table right now. guess which of my kids it is!

he looks frantically between the three of us trying to figure out if she’s joking or not and trying desperately not to offend anyone but also she won’t continue with the conversation unless he makes a guess so he has to make a guess

we all enjoy his discomfort immensely

[kazjaurelia]

Everybody is talking about little teal half-tiefling half-orc Fjorester kids but if you think for one second that Fjord “They Made Fun of Me At The Orphanage” and Jester “Can We Keep It” Lavorre (lbr he took her name) are not also adopting every. single. urchin. they find on their adventures, you’re wrong.

[kazjaurelia]

This post on r/AmItheAsshole (and the OP’s follow-up responses) have me cry-laughing – please enjoy

Pride is almost here so I think it is good to remember pride isn't here thanks to world wide companies who "dress in rainbow" just for a month. Pride is here because trans women, butch lesbians, gay men, queer people of color and every other memeber of the LGBTQ+ community fought in the past and still fighting today. There are still a lot of things to fight for. So keep fighting until we are sure each one of us is safe and happy. Have a great pride month.
