The Dangers and Flaws of Idolization: A NEO TWEWY analysis post

Transplanting and expanding on a thread I made on Twitter to fit within a Tumblr format.

One of the most interesting aspects I see in NEO TWEWY that I don’t see many people touch upon is the commonality between Rindo, Fret, and Shoka in how they look up to others as role models while simultaneously being blind to their flaws/who they actually are up to the end and how the game's themes are reflected in those relationships and today, I'd like to showcase why.

First, we have Rindo and Motoi. With that relationship, the game makes it pretty clear that Rindo looked up to Motoi as An0ther and used his words as encouragement to get through his own daily life and anxiety. The kid could barely decide what he could even eat for dinner before he had come across the account, so if you thought his current indecisiveness nature was bad, he was even worse before the events of the game.

However, what I find interesting is that even though he constantly spouts An0ther's sayings in an attempt to try and steel himself for the challenges he faces, he thoughtlessly does so and only lives by the sayings half-heartedly, since his indecisive nature and fear of responsibility prevent him from committing all the way. I think it's telling that despite claiming that "don't miss your chance to make a friend" is one of his favorite quotes, he's constantly at odds with the idea of bringing potentially new players on board the team even before he gets the chance to properly know/meet them and grimaces at the thought of the structure of the old Reaper's Game in the original.

Keep in mind that Beat saved Rindo's life at the hands of Susukichi at least two whole days ago before this occurrence.

Nagi’s Dive into his head on W1D3 actually does a LOT to reveal aspects of his character: he puts other people at arm’s length (besides Swallow due to their online anonymity) because he’s afraid of the fallout of what would to happen if he got involved with them.

"What if I end up taking on more than I can handle? What if other people end up dragging me down with them? If I just stay at the sidelines and shift the blame onto others, I won’t get into trouble for this."

"I'm in a group project; everybody is contributing and making decisions about how we should go about doing things. I keep my mouth shut and refrain from pitching in despite maybe thinking some of their ideas misses the point of the assignment, because God forbid my ideas could be helpful (or maybe they won't; that's life, but I won't know unless i speak up). We end up handing in our project and whoops, we got a C-. I guess I'm not responsible for receiving that grade because I never made a decision, therefore I shouldn't be accountable for my lack of contribution. It just makes sense."

If you've known/are a person that have had similar thoughts to this mindset, then congrats; you know/are a Rindo Kanade in real life.

This culminates into him latching onto others he finds capable and taking the relationships around him for granted, tying other people's worth to their prowess in might or influence. After all, why bother relying on yourself and others when you can just rely on someone else for you to solve your problems? Especially since it means that if everything goes south, YOU won’t take the fallout for it. After all, they’re clearly much more capable than you are.

To get back to his dynamic with Motoi, Rindo looks up to him immensely after finding out that he was his idol an0ther and came to value his input regarding matters within the Game. So when he eventually finds out the truth and is forced to confront the fact that his hero was nothing more than a content thief and a schemer who would trample over others just to survive, he’s understandably heartbroken.

However, instead of just leaving it there, the game decides to flip the script and have Motoi legitimately apologize to Rindo for his actions, leading to the lad in question learning to recognize that Motoi is ultimately an incredibly flawed human being instead of just writing him off entirely, (even giving him another chance!) and is, in many ways, a mirror to Rindo. Like Rindo, Motoi was deathly afraid of responsibility and the fallout of letting other people down, leading to him copying and pasting other people's quotes so that he wouldn't have to face that possibility. This aspect of himself only got worse when he got trapped in the Reaper's Game for multiple loops on end, forcing him to become a worse version of himself, lying, cheating, and backstabbing just to survive and even looking towards becoming part of the Reapers, the same group that trapped him there in the first place, just so he wouldn't have to be Erased, un a manner that's eerily reminiscent to how Rindo would took towards overly relying on others so that he would make it out okay. In that sense, Motoi is a look at what a grown-up Rindo would look like if he didn't take the lessons he learned within the Game to heart, which is part of why the latter decides to take Motoi’s copypasted quotes and apply them to his life in a positive way, deriving his own meaning from them so that in a way that contrasts him following them in a shallow manner from before.

Next up, we have Fret and Kanon, who form a interesting parallel to Rindo and Motoi's dynamic. Whereas Motoi is a look at one of the worst possible paths that Rindo could take if he didn't learn how to properly deal with his flaws, Kanon actually tries to coach Fret into becoming more true to and genuine with his actual self. She also shows herself to be a genuinely affable and honorable person even in spite of the bad first impression that she had given at the beginning of the game by stealing Rindo and Fret's pin for herself.

However, that's only the surface level stuff, as the game actually goes deeper with her character. While Kanon at first seems to be true to herself and genuine at her core in a way that Fret isn’t, we can see from the Dive into her head on W3D3 that she’s holding back a LOT underneath the surface.

"You always did have a way of destroying things" tends to get glossed over by some and for those who do look at the words, they seemingly come out of nowhere and can be seemingly brushed off as her just being under the influence of the Plague Noise. However , when you look back at some of Kanon’s actions and her words towards the Twisters (accusing the Twisters of sabotaging Fuya and making Motoi drop out of the Scramble Slam against his will, her mood changing when she finds out about Fuya challenging the Ruinbringers in one timeline as opposed to her more cheerful attitude towards Fret when she didn't find that out just yet, her acting suspicious towards the Twisters regarding their prowess as a team, etc), the implication is that she doesn’t just resent the game as a whole but also secretly the Twisters as well.

The thing about the Player teams is that they have formed an unspoken agreement where the top 3 teams (sans Ruinbringers of course) keep their footing by sending new players and other teams to last place, which the Wicked Twisters screw up just by existing. Their synergy and impressive Imagination powers (well, Fret, Nagi, and Sho’s at least) threaten the balance the teams have struggled to keep up for so long, hence why Kanon initially just sees them as another team to point snipe before she changes her mind on them. And while the Twisters do almost bring about change by beating the Ruinbringers, it ultimately doesn’t even matter in the long-run due to how incredibly rigged the Shinjuku game is and as a result, the DRS are eliminated, getting rid of Kanon’s and Motoi’s safety net.

Imagine this from the players’ perspective: you’re stuck in essentially what is a never-ending death game but you’ve got a system going where you can at least stave off your deaths for a bit longer. Then a couple of kids come around and throw that whole system entirely out of whack. And you think, "well, at least they can take out the top team and give us a fighting chance, right?" Only for those hopes to also get dashed because the rules are just that rigged. Like Kubo said, life ain’t fair and the afterlife sure as hell ain’t either. W1D5 and W2D4 are excellent explorations of this kind of mindset as it showcases the player teams falling victim to their desires and abusing their powers as a result of being stuck in an endless loop of playing the Game over and over again with no hope of escaping, as well as highlights paints certain comments made by the leaders in an even darker light.

With all of this in mind, it’s honestly no wonder that Kanon resents the Twisters but what’s interesting is that she tries to keep this resentment under wraps because she knows that it isn’t fair to them. They’re just kids after all who would have no idea about all of that. Hence why she admonishes herself in her Dive for wishing that they had just wipe out the Reapers altogether and why Fret is shown to be hurt hearing her inner thoughts about the Twisters in a way that’s pretty reminiscent of Rindo’s reaction when he found out about Motoi.

And finally, we have Shoka and Ayano. While it’s pretty clear that the two do genuinely care for one another, it’s a relationship that’s been tragically scarred by the events surrounding Shinjuku and the Reapers in general, resulting in a mutually unhealthy dynamic. 

What I find interesting about the relationship is that while Shoka gets pissed whenever Rindo insinuates that Ayano must’ve treated her badly, she sadly realizes in another convo that she doesn’t know much about Ayano on a personal level or what her interests even are.

In spite of how close they are and how much they mean to each other, Ayano still put up emotional walls and closed herself off, never allowing herself to be on equal footing to Shoka and instead just be someone who guides and mentors her over the 4 years they were together.

This is due to her feeling betrayed by Shiba/others while simultaneously using Shoka as her one stable point in life regardless because everything is going up into chaos surrounding the Shinjuku Reapers and she finds herself unable to trust anyone around her anymore. And Shoka herself doesn't even realize this until the end when it’s too late because she was just happy to simply have Ayano by her side without thinking deeper about her and their relationship as a whole due to her own emotional issues and troubled past.

When it comes to children from broken homes, they are prone to imprinting on any adult figure that interacts positively with them and in Shoka's case, this is exactly what she did with the Shinjuku Reapers, especially Ayano.

A running theme throughout all of these instances is how they all involve the younger generation looking up to the adults in their lives as idols as opposed to just role models and thus fail to see them for who they are as actual human beings. And by the time they that finally do, it's too late for the adults.

You also see nods towards this theme via the Shinjuku Reapers and their relationship with Shiba or Shiba’s (who himself is parallel to Rindo if his tendency to subconsciously take on the values of others and mistake his as his own was twisted into the worst possible outcome) relationship with Kubo, with Hishima even flat out stating as such. "You fell at the feet of an idol like an utter fool", indeed.

And this all fits, as well, into NEO's larger theme that even as a 'follower', you have to question the 'leader'. Role models aren't bad -- but idols and failing to recognize their limits/flaws/toxicity are and will end up screwing you over in the long run if you aren’t careful. And I think NEO did an excellent job at exploring the little nuances that come with that, from Kanon’s internal resentment she knew wasn’t fair to the unseen distance between Ayano and Shoka to Motoi being a complete deconstruction of it all. It shows the good and the bad of idolizing someone too much. It shows how you can see the real them and turn the image you liked into something more with Rindo, or how to hold them in your heart while moving on like Shoka. It's okay to acknowledge the flaws and shortcomings of the people you look up to. Hell, it’s probably healthy to do that in some ways. As long as they’re still a good person or even helped you grow, you can still celebrate the good they brought

Dave and Dirk ; Relationship analysis

[ Candy route ]

a post dedicated to the strider father-son brother bond as portrayed within the dubious canonical writing of the candy route

a peek into the past ๑

the candy timeline is the one in which our protagonist John egbert decides to stay on earth C and not go back to fight Lord English, this makes candy the "less relevant" and more off putting timeline. however he does have to retcon back into canon once to retrieve the fridge Gamzee dwells in, per the request of Calliope

when John retcons back we are met with the emotional scene of Dave and Dirk hugging it out on the rooftop, you really can't discredit how wholesomely this is written

CANDY CHAPTER TWO ;

` At the other end of the roof are Dirk and Dave, doing something he never thought he’d see: they’re... hugging. Not just regular, noncommittal hugging. They are emphatically hugging the shit out of each other. Dave’s face is buried in Dirk’s side, and Dirk’s got both arms around him in a way that looks like he’s never actually hugged another human being before. `

` The moment John’s palms hit the fridge, Dirk turns to look at him. His head only moves an inch. Slowly, he lowers one eyebrow and returns to his poignant and deeply personal business with Dave, as if he hasn’t observed anything worth acknowledging at all. `

END QUOTE

im not saying im *disappointed* with this hug is canon, i am just so fond of how this scene is described within the epilogues. now allow me to overthink it.

not only is this moment described more intensely and emotionally than in HS canon, but Dirk sees a boy appear out of nowhere to stroke then *steal* a fridge; and does not think it is even worth acknowledging. he quite literally does not bat an eye. dirk is so occupied with his brother he doesn't care about anything around him, he knows dave is in his arms and that's all he needs to know.

a peak into the past : end ๑

out of the past now, into the new things that took place in Candy. ==>

Candy is the timeline in which dirk takes his life. Dirk can't take becoming irrelevant and prefers his own death, ( and Reforming later on. shout out to Ult dirk ) a Just death as arranged very carefully.

Dave was looking for Dirk for advice, he needed help with his love life and he needed his brother to tell him what to do.

when Dave is met with the news of Dirks passing he is in shambles to say the least, however this does not take him over; Ultimate dirk is still semi-writting everything. he has control and wants the best of his brother he would not let him fall into a depression.

Dirks funeral was sad, a very upsetting scene [ ignore gamzee for the entirety of it ] the first day Earth C sees rain, and a rare occurrence in which Dave takes off his shades while giving a speech about dirk

[ worthy mention; Dave carries dirks head at the funeral ]

Dave knows he CAN go back in time to save Dirk but won't on purpose, he doesn't ONLY love his brother he understands him, he understands him to be a difficult guy, and wouldn't wanna worsen the situation.

the writing goes out of its way to show you just how much the striders care for each other

the Davebot situation

robots are a very common thing in homestuck, they're pretty much everywhere maybe it was a 2009 thing. But many among the fandom seem to believe a character *becoming* a robot is equal to the character dying. that is absolutely not the case especially not when DIRK is the robot maker

[ my opinions and theories incoming ]

Dirk does not view robots as "less than" humans, he grew up around them they were his only company so much so he prefers them to humans in many instances, i think the REASON he made Davebot happen ( we all know it was the prince's doing. ) was to keep him somewhat relevant, Dirk cares about the Meat timeline cause he believes it to be more important, but he wouldn't want his brother thrown into irrelevance! he cares about him, ergo turning him into a robot, it's the best he can do for his poor sonbro doomed to being "forgotten" [ dirk makes his robots with care especially when housing family. he puts a lot of work into them and it shows just how important they are to him. Davebot is shown to be strong as shit, slicing fruit thrown at him with his katana like he's playing fruit ninja, meat!Dave wouldn't do this by choice, its dirk trying to make him stronger. I won't even touch of how RAD rosebot is. just look at what she can do and TELL me becoming a robot is equal to death. ]

๑ end ๑

if i were to cover dave and dirks ENTIRE relationship in both timelines and HS^2 I would reach a character limit or my phone would explode. i have so many thoughts on it all and they're so precious, anyway in sum; Candy!Dave and Dirk should have hugged more. oh and deeply care for each other

Putting this behind a cut just because it gets a bit long and has some embedded videos so there’s no need to mess up people’s dashboards with it unless they choose to click. There’s stuff in here about the difference between British and Canadian English, and about comedy, and about sports. That’s not that useful a description mainly because it’s not that coherent a post, I started typing about one thing and then just kept typing until I was talking about something else, and then eventually I stopped.

So, I have this issue where I watch and listen to so much British stuff that, in only a few little ways, I sometimes start to “think in British”. During 2020 and 2021, there were times when I’d go more than two months without hearing the voice of anyone in real life, outside a trip to the grocery store every couple of weeks. I spent all day listening to British voices, to the point where I joked that this could lead to me developing a British accent.

So for a while I was very disciplined about always calling it “soccer”. But at some point I let that slip, and I think I now go between both terms on this blog, just writing whichever one comes into my head. The trouble is that in Canada, the sport of soccer/football is very rarely mentioned, while on British TV, it’s mentioned all the time (seriously, until 2020 I thought it was just a joke, just a stereotype, when people talked about Brits being obsessed with soccer). So it’s not just that I hear it said the British way on TV, it’s that I almost never hear it said the Canadian way, even now that lockdowns are over and I sometimes hang out with people in real life again.

Obviously your accent won’t actually change from that (trust me, I’ve checked), but it does start to affect my vocabulary in little ways, if I let it. One time in 2021, I was hanging out with friends for the first time in months, and I accidentally referred to soccer as “football”. They made jokes about this being a result of too much British TV, and after that, I started being more careful about how I think of it. I’d started calling it “football” on this blog, but I then made myself change it to “soccer” every time I wrote the word, to make sure I still thought of it as “soccer”, to make sure that was what I’d say when talking to people I know. Because yes, obviously “football” is the proper and original name for that sport. But also, if I say it here I’m going to sound incredibly pretentious, like someone who traveled to Europe and then starts affecting an accent on words that don’t need one. I’ll be like that, but worse, because I haven’t even traveled. I’ll just sound like I’m pretending that watching a lot of TV has turned me British.

Anyway, after how concerned I was about accidentally saying “football” instead of soccer, yesterday I let a completely different British-ism slip into real-life vocabulary, one that I hadn’t been concerned about because I hadn’t even realized I’d internalized that one. It was while I was coaching a tournament, and that’s always a way for language to come out without thinking. When I’m sitting in a corner and yelling at an athlete, some of what I say is measured and thoughtful, specific technical advice designed to tell them what to do next. But some of it is just encouragement, meant to hype them up when I can see they’re flagging. At that point, I let myself get caught up in the moment and yell whatever’s in my head, not having the time to do any translating.

We’ve joked before about what me, and my fellow coaches, sometimes say in the heat of moments like these. A few years ago my best friend yelled “Remember who you are!” during a particularly intense match, not realizing until later that he’d accidentally quoted the Lion King. Another friend of mine has been known to quote Eric Taylor from Friday Night Lights almost word for word, while trying to think of something inspiring to say.

It’s also a semi-common occurrence that when a match gets intense, we’ll call athletes by nicknames that we wouldn’t normally use in that context. If our team has a silly inside joke name for an athlete, I’ll remember to call them by their real name if I’m talking about them to people from other teams. And I’ll certainly remember to call them by their real name from the corner during a tournament, when I’m yelling for the whole room to hear. Unless things get really precarious, and I get caught up in the moment and just stop having time to translate in my head before speaking, and then their nickname comes out.

Yesterday, an athlete was down in a semi-important match, and he looked exhausted. I think what I meant to yell was: “Come on, get up, man!” Not particularly useful technical advice – he did already know this would be a good idea – but I was just trying to give him some energy. However, my filter disappeared and I ended up just saying the first thing that felt natural, which was: “Come on, get up, mate!” He did get up, he won the match, it was awesome, and then I got justifiably made fun of for a bit for calling someone “mate”. We don’t do that here.

It was a bit of a weird thing, accidentally slipping and letting something from this world into something that is so, fundamentally different from it. I had an experience on the drive home that really highlighted it. We were playing from my best friend’s iPod, and he has the song Go Off by M.I.A. on there. I have extremely strong associations with that song, from that time when I spent way too many hours making a video to it, in advance of Taskmaster Champion of Champions II:

This video took me so long to make, which involved listening to bits of that song while watching bits of Taskmaster over and over and over until I’d lined them all up the way I wanted. And to be honest, once I’d finished I was very pleased with it, so I’ve re-watched it a lot of times since then. This means I now have a very powerful association in my mind between that song and those clips. They are inextricably linked.

I was surprised by just how much cognitive dissonance it caused when I heard that song on that road trip. I was in the middle of one of those nice moments that I’d missed so much for the last few years - in the passenger seat of a truck, my best friend next to me and driving. On a snowy highway, late at night, with three ~20-year-old athletes asleep on top of each other in the back. All of us exhausted from the day. Still mentally caught up in the excitement of the competition to which we’ve arbitrarily assigned meaning, of spending all day with people who’ve all agreed to buy into it. Watching the snow fall and listening to music and unwinding after all the drama.

And then suddenly this song comes on, and all I can see are Liza Tarbuck lying down in front of her sparkler and Ed Gamble clapping over a fly and Kerry Godliman drawing a giant circle in the snow. It was fucking weird. I think I’d have expected that to feel weird, but it felt way weird than I’d have expected. My brain had a sharp reaction of “no no no these things should not be combined, that is not meant to exist here, something is wrong”.

I’ve had that reaction only once before, when I listened to this part of a Bugle mini-episode that Andy Zaltzman made about one of the days when he attended the London 2012 Olympics. Posting that link does say what my sport is, which I’m fine about. I avoid writing the word all the time because I don’t want people from my actual sport, or from any part of my actual life, finding this blog. I’m probably just being paranoid to be concerned about this, but I reference this sport often enough so that if I wrote the word out every time, I worry it might come up in a search for that. But I’m not trying to keep it a secret from anyone who’s already reading this blog (if I were concerned about that, I’d be doing a bad job of concealing it, as I know there aren’t many sports where coaches yell from corners and athletes have to get up).

Anyway, that clip made me feel the same way. At first, I thought it was ridiculously cool that he was talking about that. It’s my thing! It’s my thing and Andy Zaltzman’s talking about it! And he’s right! That’s an accurate bit of observational comedy - it is true that on the world stage, the smaller athletes (55 being the smallest men’s category) tend to always look unhappy, especially the Russians. But it was a bridge too far when he said the name of the American champion (which I guess I won’t write out, even though there are more than enough other sites that talk about him so I’m sure writing it out wouldn’t put me in danger of coming up in searches for it), at 74. That guy is a hero in this sport. All my athletes look up to him. An old high school teammate of mine scored two points on him at the Pan-Ams once and we all lost our minds for weeks over how cool that was. The really rich coach from a nearby city sometimes throws lots of money to bring that guy in to run clinics, and then charges athletes hundreds of dollars at attend, and it always sells out immediately.

Hearing Andy Zaltzman say that guy’s name cause so much dissonance in my head. I immediately said “No no no no no that should not happen.” Andy Zaltzman should not exist on the same plane of reality as that man, who is the face of my sport if anyone is, worldwide. He should not have been able to be in the same room as that guy, because they should not exist in the same realm. That guy represents everything about the my corrupt, toxic, fucked up sport. Britcom is the beautiful progressive paradise that I immerse myself in to escape it, and Andy Zaltzman is the absolute pinnacle of this.

And yes I realize British comedy also has lots and lots of problems. But... okay, at my first tournament of this season, a couple of months ago, I saw a shirt that said “We The Fringe” on the back. I thought - oh cool, you don’t often see that sort of thing here, I wonder what city’s Fringe Festival that person attended and bought that shirt. Then they turned around, and I saw it was a shirt for the People’s Party of Canada. Our far-right party - way more right-wing than the regular conservatives - that Trudeau once said has “fringe views”, and its members took to calling themselves “the fringe” as a sort of protest (like with right-wingers calling themselves “deplorables” in America). And that guy was not out of place at that tournament; in that environment, he’s the norm. It made way more sense for the shirt to be of that political party, than of a Fringe Festival. There are more people like him than like me there. So you see why I say that compared to that, British comedy is a progressive paradise that should not exist in the same world as that bullshit. Andy Zaltzman - perfect, pure Andy Zaltzman - definitely shouldn’t.

There is one exception, though. Well two exceptions, but they both come from the same episode. The same episode of a show that I have not seen, other than that. A show I have no desire to see. But at some point I read about this episode existing, so obviously I had to watch it and cut out the clips and put them on YouTube.

Yeah, that’s all right. I enjoyed that so much and would have no issue with every comedian I’ve ever heard of taking their turn at that. If Andy Zaltzman wants to go on TV and get beat up by that guy, I will fully support it. I’d pay a fair bit of money to see that, actually.

[multi-lefaiye]

so,,, tftgs,,, speak your thoughts,,,

hi i apologize, you sent me this ask over a week ago, ty for the interest in my thoughts about my silly little blorbos <3

so i'm gonna take this opportunity to summarize my Jack Townsend Is Trans of Gender Manifesto, which is a character study i've been writing on and off for a few months now talking about jack's transness. because i've decided he's trans and no one can take that from me <3

under the cut, i'm gonna give a quick summary of each chapter in my outline. also, as a disclaimer, the intent here isn't to prove that jack is trans or anything--while there are things in the series that make me think he is, i wanted this to be more of an exploration of the idea than anything.

also, some of this operates very heavily on my headcanons and slight AUs of the series, but my thoughts about how his transness would come into play in his life still stand.

anyway let's go <3 this got really fucking long

(content warnings: mentions of child abuse, transphobia, racism, and cults--none of these are discussed in detail but all of them are mentioned/referenced so please tread lightly!! there are also some mentions of romance if that bothers anyone, but those are also minor)

Chapter One: Spencer Middleton

so before i get into this chapter, i have to establish my general headcanons/little AU centering around the idea of jack and spencer being childhood friends. i decided to take that into account for here, because i love the potential drama and angst that adds to their relationship in canon. essentially, i love the idea that spencer and jack both come from very unhealthy households and gravitate towards each other as two abused kids looking for someone who understood.

i'm not gonna go into all my thoughts about spencer and jack's backgrounds here, but for a long time, they were each the only ones the other really felt they could trust. most of the adults in their lives consistently failed them, and while they weren't the ONLY kids in their grade being abused (as that is an unfortunately common occurrence in that town), they found friendship in each other and became protective of each other.

as a result, spencer is the first person who knew about jack being trans. at the time, jack didn't fully understand his feelings or any of the quote-unquote "right" terminology. all he knew was that he wasn't a girl, and he didn't know what to do about it, nor that being trans wasn't something that was accepted in their shitty small town.

one day, after jack stole some of his foster brother's clothes so he could dress like a boy, he just ended up blurting to spencer that he doesn't think he's a girl. and, at first, spencer was certainly confused, but he wasn't upset. he didn't really react at all, which wasn't unusual--spencer had never been a very outwardly emotional person, and jack didn't mind. really, spencer being casual about it actually helped a lot with his confidence, because it reassured him more than anything else that there wasn't anything wrong with feeling that way.

as they got older, spencer and jack began to grow apart, but spencer never once disrespected jack's gender in that time or outed him without his wishes. once jack began to socially transition, even long after they stopped talking, spencer was very respectful the few times they did interact. essentially, spencer was a good ally and a good friend, and even long after he and jack stopped being friends, he never used that moment of vulnerability against jack.

because spencer middleton sucks so much, but he's not THAT bad.

Chapter Two: Sabine

during middle school, jack befriends a girl named sabine, and the two quickly become close. sabine is jack's only real friend in the world once he and spencer stop talking, and so naturally, she's the next person he comes out to. and sabine IMMEDIATELY becomes a huge supporter of jack and helps him change his name and gender marker legally.

i do want to say, in the sabine chapter i'm very much leaning into the fact that the town where tftgs takes place is weird as hell, as a way to explain how jack would be able to transition without facing a lot of backlash or it being mentioned. and because i genuinely think that a townsperson suddenly changing their name and gender is far from the weirdest thing to happen in town.

jack never really finds out exactly how sabine is able to accomplish it, but in high school, she helps him socially transition and get all of his paperwork in order, to the point that the town kinda just... forgets that jack was ever any different than he is now. essentially, my idea for jack being trans is that he is living 100% stealth--ultimately, that's the safest option for him, and he does believe he lucked out in more ways than one because he does pass as a cis guy very easily even before he starts to medically transition in his 20s.

in high school, jack and sabine start dating, and she's his biggest and loudest supporter. while she would never out him as trans, as doing so would be genuinely unsafe, she was very openly proud of her boyfriend. and also it's important to me that you know that i headcanon sabine as being significantly taller than jack. he's her short king <3

unfortunately, though, like many good things in jack's life, his relationship with sabine doesn't last. things end the way they did in canon, with sabine in a coma. jack never gets the chance to really thank her for anything she helped him with or did for him.

Chapter Three: Deputy Tom

okay so this is the one i really wanted to talk about. the deputy tom chapter, rather than going over a specific time period in jack's life, focuses on one conversation he had with tom during a time they were both alone in the gas station.

deputy tom was one of the only people who actually knew about jack being trans, or at least one of the few who seemed to remember that. for the most part, though, he never really mentions it or treats jack any differently. he is a bit protective of jack, though, and eventually he explains why to him, a few weeks before his (tom's) death.

essentially this chapter is me wanting to explore tom as a queer character as well. i don't think he would use specific labels for himself for the most part, but as an older queer man in a shitty small town, he feels partially responsible for helping the next generation of queer people thrive. he talks to jack about things, and like... jack doesn't exactly open up to tom, but tom talks to jack about his life and some of his experiences.

tom's intent here is to give jack advice. he knows jack has been doing pretty well for himself, all things considered, but he wants to make sure the poor kid's gonna be okay once tom isn't there anymore. i will say, tom doesn't know at this point that he's going to die, but he knows he's getting older and he just wants to make sure that the man he views as a son is gonna be alright without him.

i also had the thought earlier today that tom could also be trans and living stealth, and that could be something for him and jack to connect on.

essentially i have a lot of strong feelings about queer elders being there for younger queer people, and that's what the tom chapter is.

Chapter Four: Vanessa Riggin

the vanessa chapter is a bit shorter, but it's kind of a reverse on the tom chapter in which jack is now the older queer person for a younger queer person to look up to. because yeah vanessa is also trans <3

initially, jack doesn't intend to tell vanessa that he's trans. it's not really anyone's business after all, and he knows by now that it's safer for him to keep that to himself and let people just assume he's cis. however, one day while he's working with vanessa, she actually comes out to HIM.

jack is a little caught off guard, and vanessa starts talking about trouble she's been having and essentially like... seeking jack out for advice. and when jack asks her why she's telling him, she says that he's just... someone she feels like she can trust. he's touched, and he's abruptly reminded of the conversation he had with tom some time before.

cue jack and vanessa having a hushed, kinda sweet conversation about gender and sexuality, and like. jack isn't that much older than vanessa by any means, but he feels like an older brother figure in that moment, and it feels good to pass on tom's advice. he just hopes that vanessa is going to be okay.

Chapter Five: Jerry Pascal

jack ends up coming out to jerry a couple of months into knowing him, because he figures out rather quickly that jerry is someone he can trust in that regard. jerry's never subtle about his own gender fuckery, but he also never pushed jack to come out (even though he did suspect jack may not be cis).

at first, jerry doesn't really react, which jack once again honestly appreciates. because at heart, jack doesn't want people to make a big deal about him being trans, even if they're doing so in support. it's just not who he is personally, and i know i keep reiterating this but it's also much safer for him that way.

things continue as normal for the next few weeks, and jack ends up actually kinda thinking that like... jerry might not have fully registered jack coming out to him. which is a very real possibility, all things considered, and a part of jack is actually a little disappointed, which surprises him. because this is a very deeply personal thing about him, and since jerry is one of his only real friends now, he'd hope it'd be important to him, too.

eventually, though, and i haven't worked out all the exact details of it, jerry and jack have another conversation about it. they talk about their different approaches to their queerness, with jerry being very openly queer regardless of the consequences and jack being queer very much on the down-low. neither holds any judgment for the other in that regard, they just share their different perspectives.

i also want to explore a bit about how i think queerness was handled among mathmetists (the cult jerry was part of), which i don't quite know how to put into words yet but... trust me... i have thoughts.

of course, it's not a completely mature conversation, as jerry can't help but be very jerry-ish as they talk, but it's a good talk for both of them. they're best bros no matter what, after all. (and also more than a little gay, let's be real)

Chapter Six: Amelia O'Brien

this is another kinda shorter chapter, focusing on a specific interaction between the two characters rather than a larger look at their relationship.

anyway, jack comes out to o'brien as trans almost entirely by accident. it happens one day while she's giving him a ride to work after his leg injury and the death of deputy arnold, and essentially like. jack is so nervous around her, because he thinks she doesn't like him, that he ends up rambling about whatever he can think of. and, on this particular day, he ends up blurting that he's trans.

once he registers what he said, jack panics, as even though amelia isn't a native to the town, he has no way of knowing at that point if she's someone he can safely come out to. plus, there is the element of her being a cop--while jack has had some good experiences with individual officers (like deputy tom), as a whole he knows better than to trust them.

amelia pulls over so they can talk, and she manages to calm him down quickly enough. however, for a bit it's a pretty fuckin' tense conversation, to put it lightly. once he's calm, she tells him that it's fine, and she's not going to tell anyone else. and though she may not be able to relate to his exact experiences, she does understand--after all, very few people know she's a lesbian.

what follows is another conversation about their different approaches to and experiences with their queerness, focusing on the fact that both of them are very much stealth and are very careful about who they come out to (most of the time at least).

i also want to explore in this chapter a bit of the animosity that exists within the queer community, not between these two necessarily but through some of amelia's personal experiences. as a non-binary lesbian of color, she's certainly seen some shit.

(to clarify, i don't want to write amelia's experiences as the definitive experience of women of color (especially black women) in the community, because it's not my place to do that for several reasons, but i also don't want to pretend that her race wouldn't come up at all. the books don't shy away from some of the racism amelia experiences, and i don't want to either. however, i do want to be respectful as a white author and not speak over anyone, so if/when i do get to writing this chapter i will do my due diligence to research and speak to people of color in the community who are comfortable discussing their experiences in that regard.)

i also am gonna keep in mind the fact that amelia is a cop, though i won't frame the issue as "people are so mean to cops in the community for no reason :(" b/c no <3 and instead just... try to earnestly explore amelia o'brien as a character.

anyway, the chapter ends with jack and amelia kinda coming to an understanding with each other. if nothing else, they can commiserate a little about how fucking awful this shitty little small town is, even if the reasons they're both treated badly are very different.

Chapter Seven: Rosa Vasquez

okay this chapter might be the shortest one, but it's one that i feel passionate about and have a lot of feelings about. essentially, this one explores the fact that (at least in my headcanon) rosa is also trans.

rosa and jack clock each other as trans pretty quickly, but they each assume that the other has good reasons for not saying anything about it, so it takes a while for them to say anything to each other. for a while, they enjoy kind of a quiet solidarity with each other--it's a pretty big driving force behind their friendship early on. (not to say that they're only friends b/c they have this in common, but it's something they relate to each other on.)

eventually, it does come up, and rosa and jack have a conversation about it as well. essentially, whereas the last chapter discusses some of the unfortunate animosity within the community, this one focuses a lot more on uplifting each other and finding common ground even through different experiences.

plus mtf/ftm trans solidarity means so so fucking much to me, and i just think it'd be very sweet for these two to have this big thing that they can relate to each other about.

Chapter Eight: Antonio

aaaand we are finally at the end of the journey. so, this chapter is also very heavily an AU, taking place in a timeline where antonio never died. because i think if antonio had survived, then jack would have eventually come out to him, but as it stands antonio probably would've died without knowing.

but i love antonio so dearly so i'm writing about him <3 he gets to live <3

essentially, jack decided that antonio is one person he is never, ever, ever going to come out to as trans. not because he thinks antonio would react badly or be unsafe to tell about that, but... well, at this point, antonio lost all of jack's trust. jack doesn't want to share something so deeply personal with someone he doesn't feel like he can trust or be close to, even if he doesn't think he'll necessarily be in any danger as a result.

antonio actually picked up on something a little Not Cisgender about jack at some point, or perhaps he had access to information about jack and knew beforehand. however, he never mentioned it, because this is one thing he would never want to hold over someone's head. still, after everything with the dark god goes down, he wants to prove to jack that he's someone jack can trust.

for a few weeks, antonio tries to find ways to subtly show jack that he's someone who can be trusted. not necessarily with that, but just in general. eventually, jack calls him on it, and the two have the conversation that is the focus of this chapter.

and here's where we talk about antonio being gay, and similar to amelia, he and jack have a conversation about different experiences with the community as a whole. trust is a big theme here, and antonio is honest about the fact that he already knew. however, he never said anything to anyone, because it's not his secret to tell.

one thing i also want to do in this chapter is plant seeds for a later thing i want to write about antonio in this AU realizing his own non-binary-ness. because no one at this gas station is cis <3

the chapter ends with jack and antonio not necessarily rekindling their friendship, but coming to an understanding with each other.

#talk to the bunnykitty #tales from the gas station #corvid!!! #long post #am i nervous to post this? yes. yes i am. #but i wanna share it #and if any of y'all are interested i hope you enjoy it!!! #and if any of y'all have Thoughts on any of this.... pls send them my way #even if you're not necessarily familiar with the series

Some reflections and general notes as we go into Reading The Signs

- [ ] Otherness or nan?

- [ ] Idea of building a portrait links to the boxes of personality they used to have in the dementia care home. Little frames full of images that summed up a person’s life, except they rarely had photographs of themselves because not a lot of them existed. It’d be images like places they had work or fashion they had grow up with or tv characters from their time. Bits of the culture they lived in but mostly the ones they chose to participate in because those are the ones that could represent them best. We are all products of our environment so grabbing bits of an environment is almost enough to sum up a person.

- [ ] Otherness seems like kind of an obvious one to go with purely on the basis of who I am as a person. Has the opportunity to explore the idea of being othered in a community of others and how uniquely isolating that can feel. Something about layers? Idk but just the word makes my brain go on this whole tangent - the idea of fitting into “normal” society the same way a puppy or something would. So you fall through to the next level and that’s like the “cool outcasts” or whatever but they really don’t like you so you fall through to the last layer and it’s just darkness and you sit there for a really long time thinking you must be the only person in the whole world down on that layer. Maybe you can see the glow of the other outcasts above you almost like a ceiling, but you can’t reach it. This could work as an animation or something idk. Eventually you see a flicker down on your level and at first you ignore it but ultimately you build up the courage to run to it before it dies out. And that’s how you find your people. And then everything feels lit up. Like your eyes have adjusted to the darkness.

- [ ] Asking Cabal to write about their experience of “otherness” could be a pretty interesting way of collecting research for this topic this week. I’m thinking a google form asking them to write about it, and maybe a place to insert a small drawing expressing how they feel about it. I’m expecting MS paint more than Mona Lisa but it could be an interesting source of visual research.

- [ ] However there’s also really interesting potential to the whole idea of building a portrait of someone without using their face. Like these are all people I know really well and have spent hours talking to. We know each other inside out but I don’t know their faces, they don’t know mine and most of us don’t even use our real names. Seems like an obvious link to the idea of portraits without faces because that’s kind of the point. Maybe I could do dedicated sketchbook pages (like max one side of a4 per person or something) creating a mini “portrait” of prominent members or something. For some reason the person who comes to mind first is ginger and his bloody clock.

- [ ] I’ve gathered some visual research from Pinterest and tumblr. Tumblrs and interesting one because the image search is absolute dogshit, but you can search for pretty much anything and there’s gonna be someone who’s reposted a relevant sadcore quote or poem about the topic you’re thinking of. I’m thinking of using these similarly to how we used the song lyrics in the Sound and Vision topic. The visual research from Pinterest is varied, but one common occurrence is this odd photography with what I presume to be a fish-eye lens. It exaggerates and alters the proportions of the figures. I think it’s just an interesting way of visually representing the idea of otherness. Beyond just dressing strange or having a weird silhouette or something, the whole structure of the body is altered. Could be an idea to play around with photography as a medium I don’t usually experiment with. Also feeds into the fact I really need to get better at including “meaning” in my work and not just having things exist to look pretty. This works because of the idea of the visual oddities leads the viewer to question why else the figure may be an “other”. Idk I’m writing this at 3am.

Writing Reality, Weaving Wonder: Unleashing Creative Elements in Non-Fiction

Despite the huge field of literature, fiction frequently outshines non-fiction in terms of flare. However, there is a special place where creativity can thrive where facts and reality meet. This blog post will discuss the skill of integrating creative elements into non-fiction writing—a journey we'll lovingly refer to as "Writing Reality, Weaving Wonder."

Knowing How to Create Non-Fiction Art

Traditionally, the main goal of non-fiction writing has been to clearly represent facts and information. But that doesn't imply it has to be uninteresting or lacking in originality. Non-fiction with artistic aspects can give otherwise boring subjects life, making them interesting and relatable to a wider readership.

The Story's Power

Using narrative strategies is one of non-fiction's most powerful creative elements. An engaging narrative based on factual occurrences or facts can enthrall readers and enhance their understanding of the material.

For example, tell the tale of a community dealing with the effects of climate change rather than just providing statistics on the phenomenon. Anecdotes from personal experience, interviews, and case studies can turn dry information into an engaging story for readers.

Real-Life Character Development

Non-fiction writers can give real people life by carefully developing their characters, but fiction writers create characters out of thin air. Exploring the people behind the facts, whether through expert interviews, historical figure profiles, or the presentation of common heroes, humanizes the story. By highlighting the unique features, difficulties, and victories of actual people, you humanize the content and establish an emotional bond with your audience.

Creating the Scene

Non-fiction authors can create a rich background for their stories, much like a novelist creates a vivid setting to draw readers into their imagined universe. Readers can be taken right into the story's heart with the help of descriptive language, close attention to detail, and a strong feeling of atmosphere. Setting the scene improves the reader's experience and encourages an increased understanding of the subject matter, whether the description is of a historical event, a scientific discovery, or a personal journey.

Having Fun with the Structure

Non-fiction is not required to follow a certain format. Play around with how your content is arranged to add some originality. To keep readers interested, try using alternative stories, flashbacks, or non-linear timeframes. You can reflect on the complexity of real-life situations and give your writing a more dynamic quality by breaking from a traditional framework.

The Craft of Dialogue

Dialogue is not just for fiction; it can be an effective literary device in non-fiction as well. Adding actual quotes from speeches, interviews, or old documents to your writing can make it seem more real and realistic. The voices of the persons involved may be heard in well-written dialogue, giving it a human touch and encouraging a sense of connection.

Balancing Emotion and Facts

Writers of non-fiction need to maintain a careful proportion between conveying information and generating feelings. Writing with emotion may transform a dull account into an engaging story, even while the information is at its core. Emotions, whether humor, empathy or simply a hint of drama, can enhance the effect of your writing and leave readers with a stronger impression.

The Meeting Point of Imagination and Research

Non-fiction relies heavily on research, but that doesn't imply creativity has to suffer. Make use of research as a springboard for creativity. Investigate your topic thoroughly to find undiscovered treasures and forgotten tales. Follow your curiosity and don't be scared to look at things from unusual perspectives. You can engagingly convey well-founded information by incorporating creative elements into your study to create an integrated and innovative whole.

Conclusion: The imagination comes to life.

When it comes to non-fiction, the creative components are the magic ingredient that turns a dry list of facts into an engaging story. Writing about truth and creating wonder go hand in hand, giving non-fiction authors the ability to captivate, inform, and motivate their audience. The next time you write a non-fiction piece, keep in mind the significance of context, the force of narrative, the richness of character development, and the magic that occurs when facts and imagination come to life on paper.

Sport Injury Treatment in Delhi

Sports Injuries Prevention

Overuse and trauma are two common factors responsible for sports injuries. Both intrinsic (such as age, fitness level, muscle strength etc) and extrinsic factors (such as equipment, environment, type of activity etc) play a role in injuries.

Prevention of injuries may involve changing of training schedule, gear, training, practicing environment and style and many other factors. Primary prevention deals with prevention of an injury whereas secondary prevention is about prevention of re occurrence of injury. As "Prevention is better than cure," here are some tips that can help you prevent sports injuries. Whilst most of these may seem like common knowledge, you would be surprised by how many injuries can be avoided by following these tips.

Tip 1: Understand the importance of physical conditioning and know your limits

This factor is often overlooked by amateurs who easily succumb to temptation and overindulge.  It is easy to get carried away when you return to sports after a long time. Knowing ones limits, gradually increasing the intensity and duration of training can help in injury prevention. Regular exercise is an effective way to energize your body and keep fit.  On the other hand aggressive training beyond ones capabilities and the resulting overuse, fatigue, poor judgment makes injuries more likely.

Be mindful of old injuries and listen to your body. Warning signs such as joint pain, tenderness, and swelling are reasons to re-evaluate your technique and routine.

Tip 2: Invest in the right sporting gear

This includes every essential bit of equipment required for playing a particular sport, starting from the right shoes to the protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, protective pads etc. Right gear not only protects you from injuries but can also enhance your performance.

Tip 3: Warm and stretch your muscles

Warmed up muscles are less prone to injuries and overlooking warm-up sessions can cost one dearly. Warm up raises the core body temperature and gears up the body for the intended exercise.  It helps by increasing the blood flow to muscles improving the muscle efficiency, range of motion and stretching the muscles being used in particular sports. Stretching to the point of tension (not pain) helps to reduce stiffness and improve flexibility, thereby reducing the chances of injury.

Warm up may be general or specific to the intended sport.  The right exercises would vary depending on the sports. Starting the sport at a slow pace can be helpful. If you closely observe your sporting idols, you will always see them warm up prior to any game.

Tip 4: Use the right technique and follow the rules of the game

Correct techniques to play a sport are defined to minimize the chances of injuries and maximize your performance. The same can be said about the rules of the game. Incorrect overzealous manoeuvre can predispose one to injuries and hence the importance of concentrating on the precise technique. One example which I can quote as I commonly see this in my clinic is back injuries due to incorrect dead lift technique. Often that temptation to add the extra 5kgs compromises the technique predisposing one to injuries.

Selecting the appropriate surface for sports is equally important especially for repetitive activities such as running, jumping where the impact force on the body is magnified by 3- 12 times. Impact force on hard surfaces is much higher increasing the injury chances.

Tip 5: Cool down

Cooling down is another injury prevention technique that helps to return the heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure to the pre-training levels. It can also help to limit the post exercise muscle soreness and flush out toxins produced during the training.

Tip 6: Adequate recovery

Adequate recovery is essential no only for avoiding injuries but also for the full training effect. Inadequate recovery can lead to tiredness, lethargy, mental fatigue and impaired performance. Adequate recovery includes warm down sessions, re stand sleep, psychological and nutritional advices.

Overuse and trauma are two common factors responsible for sports injuries. Both intrinsic (such as age, fitness level, muscle strength etc) and extrinsic factors (such as equipment, environment, type of activity etc) play a role in injuries.

Prevention of injuries may involve changing of training schedule, gear, training, practicing environment and style and many other factors. Primary prevention deals with prevention of an injury whereas secondary prevention is about prevention of re occurrence of injury. As "Prevention is better than cure," here are some tips that can help you prevent sports injuries. Whilst most of these may seem like common knowledge, you would be surprised by how many injuries can be avoided by following these tips.

Tip 1: Understand the importance of physical conditioning and know your limits

This factor is often overlooked by amateurs who easily succumb to temptation and overindulge.  It is easy to get carried away when you return to sports after a long time.

Regular exercise is an effective way to energize your body and keep fit.  On the other hand aggressive training beyond ones capabilities and the resulting overuse, fatigue, poor judgment makes injuries more likely.

[lifeisnebulous]

I don’t know that I have anything insightful to share but I do feel compelled to share my thoughts and feelings. One of the best quotes I ever heard was “zoom out”. It may seem like a strange quote about the subject of the mass murder of little kids that just took place. But I guess I try and wrap my brain around it. I try to understand why something so insane keeps happening. Why the victims who were completely innocent had their lives taken from them. My brain is consumed with trying to understand why.

The first thoughts and feelings I have are much more zoomed in. I think about Haylie and the world she has to grow up in. It was hard enough for me as a child dealing with the shit I had to but add to that having to grow up in a place where mass shootings are a common occurrence. I wonder how this affects her. I wonder what the thoughts or feelings she has that she doesn’t tell me about. I wonder how this changes her and in what ways. Does she become numb? Does she think this is okay in any way? Does she think this is normal? How does all of this effect her psychologically in the short and long term? And I get angry and I get sad. I watch the videos, I read the articles, I go through the tweets, I read other peoples comments. I try to take it all in. I try to be objective and see both sides of the argument but I get so angry at the lack of logical sense made by the people that want to hold onto their guns. I’m afraid for the safety of my daughter. I’m afraid I can’t be there to protect her all the time and the country we are living in is just getting worse and worse. I want to pack my shit up and drag her to Canada with me. I spin out trying to understand the person who did it, the families mourning their losses, both side of the people fighting about gun control, the culture we live in, etc, etc, etc. And then I zoom out.

So as I zoom out a little I think we live in a country that is becoming defined to the rest of the world by mass shootings. It’s now starting to become our stigma. It’s getting to the place now where if you talk to someone from another country and you tell them you’re from the US their first thought will be “oh you come from that place where everyone kills each other”. I think about all the things people from other countries must think when they hear about these incidents. I think about the other countries both good and bad. The ones where there are even worse atrocities happening or the better ones where this isn’t as commonplace.

So I zoom out even more. I wonder what good humans actually do. I’m not trying to be pessimistic or depressing but what do we contribute to the world? How do we make anything better? Is this a form of natural selection. Are we evolving into a world that will eventually wipe itself out?

So I zoom out even more. In the grand scheme of things what impact do we or our planet have on the rest of the universe? Today wouldn’t even register on the radar. So why are we here? What is the point of all of this? 100 years from now this probably won’t even be talked about on our own planet except maybe by those that were effected by today. So what was the point of it? Do we really mean that little? Is it all that insignificant? If it has significance than why can’t we understand what the purpose was?

It’s hard. When you zoom out far enough it all just feels pointless. It all feels like we are doomed already and none of it will really matter to begin with. I know it sounds horribly depressing but why is that bad? Instead we should just focus on the positive? Focus on the good we can do in this life? Why? If the good deeds and the bad deeds don’t seem to have any impact on anything why bother? And again, I know it sounds depressing but I feel like the response to talking about this is “lie to yourself” or just pretend like reality doesn’t exist. And my brain simply can’t do that. People have commented to me in the past that I must be miserable or never happy. That’s not true but at the same time it is torture to constantly live inside my head trying to understand why all the time. Never having any answers. And even worse living in a world where everyone would just prefer to close their eyes and pretend because that makes it easier to live until they eventually die. Today was horrible. A teenage boy ended the life of 19 kids who weren’t even old enough yet to really have dreams of what they might become. Their futures were taken from them before they even could have picked what they might have been. And what was the point? Why? Why did he do it? Why does it matter? Why doesn’t it matter? Why did God let this happen? Why does this happen at all? Why are we here? It just doesn’t make any fucking sense. And the saddest part to me, the part that actually breaks me, is that for me to be happy or to find peace is to move on. To let it go. To stop asking why. Why does that have to be true? Why must peace of mind be associated with giving up? It seems wrong to me. My prayers tonight are going to feel a bit more empty than normal. How do I pray to a God for guidance that refuses to show us the light?

Shower Thoughts

yandere!Class 1A x fem!reader

[3.2K]

Summary: Momo wasn’t as trustable as you had presumed.

Warning: Larceny, nonconsensual touching, masturbation

│

You used to spend roughly ten minutes in the shower, only ever needing to soak your body in the water, apply shampoo and body wash before rinsing all the foam of products from your skin and scalp. Shower thoughts simply consisted of the day’s agenda or any special occurrence that had happened the past week, never really drifting off to existential questions and dark notions that would keep you from leaving the bathroom later than usual. You neither necessarily liked taking a shower nor did you dread it, as to you it was only ever a mandatory routine of the day which you handled with a neutral mind.

But now, ten minutes were already a slow thirty, and majority of the time you bothered not to move your arms to make work of your hair, or lather your skin with soap as you normally would do had it not been for the questions plaguing your mind like how your classmates would terrorize your time and space.

Right, your classmates - who would spend every hour of the day with you as if they didn’t have anything better to do. As if you were an important subject of matter next to hero training. You never appreciated it, because from the start, you did not want to have anything do to with them. They smothered and coddled you as if air wasn’t that important to you, disregarding the way you felt about personal space, how it was very significant to you. Rare were the moments of peace as a few of them were always by your side, ‘ensuring your safety’ as they would like to quote it. Why ensure your safety? You had not been a prominent figure in the sports festival, neither did you have a quirk that could be of great utility for the villains unlike Bakugou or Tokoyami. You weren’t a problem child, either. Their justification of following you around like you were some sort of high-maintenance prisoner made no sturdy sense to you.

“There’s this new package of green tea my mother had sent me this week! Would you like to try it, (y/n)?”

“Sure.”

But if you had to choose among your classmates one whom you would tolerate for the following years you’d be in U.A., that would be Yaoyorozu Momo. She was kind and considerate, often determining your feelings before you could voice it out (not that you really had the courage to, most of the time). She was organized and pristine and never had you met someone more befitting for the definition of ‘mom friend’ than her. She was perfect in nearly every way, and even though you’d have the occasional pang of jealousy at some times her perfectionism was displayed (gender envy, isn’t it, (y/n)?), she never seemed to bear mal intent, so you would let the emotions slide. You’d see the galaxy in her eyes if you would stare long enough. Her tea was best substitute for coffee, too.

You never considered her more than a very great friend, though, and to her, that was a problem.

As you sauntered your way over to your dorm with her, you shuffled your bag to take your room key buried in the side pockets. “I’ll go down in a while, but you better make sure you’re in the common room before me.”

You wouldn’t allow your classmates to take advantage of your lone self simply because Momo wasn’t there to fend them off.

“Mhm! Lemon green tea as usual, correct?”

“Yeah. Thanks again, YaoMomo.”

Your use of sotto voce tone on her nickname gave a pleasant shiver down her spine; her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head had she not restrained herself. Having been always kept to yourself, you never felt the need to adjust your volume for others to hear properly, so oftentimes your voice came out in a whisper - not that she minded, of course. You sounded more sensual that way.

“Are you going to take a while or will I have to brew tea right away?”

“Training was more strenuous than usual, and my muscles can’t seem to relax,” you explained, “so I’m going to take a quick shower.”

From your peripheral vision as you were focused on your bag to fish out the key, you saw Momo’s jaw slack upon hearing your plan to take a bath. It was odd, but you didn’t give particular attention to it when you finally took out your desired item. You failed to notice the way she abruptly settled her gaze on the key, inspecting it as if she was deliberating its shape, form, and material, and installing it to memory.

“Oh- oh!” She exclaimed. “I do remember having some body wash that help soothe muscle strains and body aches. I can hand them to you if you want.”

You shook your head, smiling lightly. “You’re too kind, YaoMomo. But I think just hot water will do for me.”

She watched as you opened the door to your room, giving her one more smile before disappearing inside and locking the door with a distinct click. As soon as you did so, she pulled the sleeve of her wrist up, developing with her body lipids a key the exact copy of the one you had held.

You certainly lied when you had said you were going to take a ‘quick’ shower. Already ten minutes into it did you only decide to sleek yourself with liquid body soap, initially absentmindedly rubbing it on your body, before you gradually got rougher with your movements and soon you found yourself scuffing your own flesh with vehement motion.

They were excessively touchy again, your classmates. Denki got too close to your face while delivering a pick-up line that made you wish you didn’t exist in order to hear it, and upon nearing you did Bakugou pull you away from him, cursing at him to buzz off. He took his time feeling up your waist - the part he used to grab you - while at it. During lunch, as you were once again coerced into joining his group to the cafeteria, Izuku refused to let go of your hand as you walked, and Uraraka as adamant with hugging you by the hips with one arm. It was what girlfriends did, she said, and you were not entirely sure whether or not she referred to that word romantically.

And if not, then did girlfriends also normally touch the parts of which you did not want to be touched on? You felt, clear as day, a bare hand resting on your thigh when you sat on your usual spot, dangerously close to lifting your skirt for everyone to see, and when you gave Hagakure’s faceless face a questioning look, she asked you what was wrong. Her uniform sleeve was literally floating on top of your lap, and still she had the gall to pretend as if she was not touching you with lacking consent. 

 You were not safe from Shoto, either, when he offered to readjust your uniform tie and you were in no place to decline (you had the right to, but they just stripped you off of it), his breath hitching in ecstasy as his fingers brushed your chest; he was, audaciously enough, not hiding his bliss. Then he rubbed your shoulders to ‘warm you up,’ when all he really intended to do was motivate his own fantasy that you were his and he was simply scenting you like some fucking alpha to his omega.

You turned no blind eye to their gesticulations. You never once found it endearing, and wished they would stop with whatever the hell this was called, because you were quite sure this was past the border of molestation and could already be rendered a form of bullying.

But not once did you consider the possibility of having a class obsessed with your quaint self.

So you supposed that until you’d find a way to deduce their idiosyncratic actions and tendencies then you would have to make do with your own bathroom as your safe space. Momo was the only classmate you could confide to, so at least she was there.

Unfortunately, you had yet to see the other side of her coin.

Because as she was just right outside your bathroom door, obsessively taking in every bit of item you owned inside your dorm room like a madman, you were left with the impression that she was all you could ever ask for in a friend. You didn’t know how she was not any better than the rest of your classmates, adoring your very existence to the extent of insanity; how she’d crave for you so often and so terribly that she’d feel herself clench when you do so much as merely spare her a glance. And you had done that a lot today - she would have to relieve herself for it.

She spotted the heap of clothes right by your bed; it became apparent that you had stripped yourself off of it before entering the bathroom and taking a shower. Walking towards it, a portion of your seamless underwear came to view, and she resisted the urge to render into a mound of horniness in order to pick it up and inspect it closely.

It was a lighter color of (s/c). A plain, simple, modest undergarment item, still it evoked a particular feeling on the bottom center of Momo’s hips. The heat came rushing along her midriff and instigated the muscle of her legs to falter, and as soon as she felt it, a hand of hers drifted past her skirt, feeling up the slick accumulated on the fabric of her own panties only with the knowledge that your panties were currently in her possession. She needed release, but you were nearly finished with your bath, and she was still inside your room.

You walked out of the shower the moment she shut the door of your bedroom. You saw it closed, but you didn’t catch the culprit.

This unnerved you to no end. Undoubtedly, you thought, this had to be one of your classmates. Who else was it supposed to be? Aizawa-sensei (...)? You had yet to know their ultimatum, but you were sure this occurrence was another one of their schemes. You had assumed that all their weird, unappreciated antics were just to get you to socialize with them, but now you didn’t understand why it had gotten to the point of entering your room without permission.

You couldn’t keep this to yourself.

So you planned to bring it up to Momo, a representative of your class and someone whom you deemed trustable enough to share it with. Quickly, you dressed into your casual indoor attire, and rushed outside your room to head to the kitchen, where you presumed she’d be in the process of making your tea. But she wasn’t there.

Instead, she was in her own room, your panties muzzled right into her face and her own fingers buried deeply inside her cunt.

“Oh- oh, god- Ah! (Y/n)!”

Oh god, your panties. Oh god, your panties. The object most intimate to your parts of intimacy, soaking every bit of womanly secretion from your genitalia. Of all the masturbation sessions she had done to the thought of you, this was the hottest. She wasn’t quite sure whether to imagine your cunt on her lips in a position of mutual cunnilingus or your fingers thrusting into her in place of hers. She wanted both.

A whine slipped past her lips. To think that moments ago, she was in the same space as you were nude. Oh, to join you in the bathroom, doing inenarrable things to each other with the use of the showerhead. To touch your skin selfishly rather than only watch as she would do during class hours.

She came with a squeal, falling face-down to bite the duvet of her large bed. Gone in her hazy mind was her promise to you of lemon green tea, and as she still basked in the pathological euphoria of getting off, you were in the common room, anxiously waiting for her return.

But just as you had expected, someone was bound to spot you alone and take this as an opportunity to be with you, and they just so happened to be-

Oh. Aoyama.

He offered you a slice of cheese with his usual grin before settling down a few feet beside you, enough to leave you be in your personal bubble. You gave him occasional glances, unwrapping the cheese from its casing and he just sat there, eating his. He was alright, you guessed - another tolerable classmate of yours next to Momo. Perhaps it was because you used to always be alone in the classroom with him during break time that you were at ease with his presence. Or maybe he just seemed so gay and that, for some reason, comforted you. One gay presence could comfort another lol.

“It’s delicious.” Your comment came out inadvertently.

“Oui. Only the best quality for the best person.” He flaunted.

You weren’t exactly sure whether he was referring to you or to himself, but you paid little attention to that as the cheese was certainly delicious; you were not lying.

“It’s odd how your chose to take a bath at this time of the day.” He spoke.

You stopped chewing.

He meant to refer to your damp hair, but having just suspected your class of breaking and entering your room, you thought otherwise.

“I-” You choked on the cheese, ending up needing to gulp it like liquid content instead of breaking it down to fit your throat. 

Immediately, he sprang up in concern, stepping over to you to gently thump you on the back. “Are you alright?”

“No- I mean- I just-!” You wheezed, occasionally having to clear your throat. You swatted his hand away from you; you hadn’t meant to appear rude, but you did. You stood up in a rush. “L-look, I have to go.”

“Don’t you want to drink water?”

“I’m- fine,”

With your words, you took off from the common room area and headed back to your room. There were two sets of emotions that mixed to form the bile in your throat. One was wrath and humiliation upon the discovery of Aoyama’s actions. The other was betrayal and confusion from Momo’s absence when she had said she’d be brewing tea for you, and it wasn’t the tea that disheartened you. She knew of your issue with the class, and if she were busy, couldn’t she have texted you a heads-up?

She shouldn’t be surprised when at the next time she saw you, you interacted with her less. Your intention to distance yourself from her was most prominent, and it didn’t help that your classmates took notice of this, because now they were taking advantage of the situation, tagging you along with them in spite of your futile attempts to decline now that Momo was nowhere to tell them off. When she’d talk to you, you would answer, though your voice was back to speaking to her like she was a stranger. 

Resentment was stronger than ruing the lack of intimacy between you two. It was as if she had received your panties in exchange for the time she’d be spending with you, oddly enough. After much deliberation, she came to realize that this was your little ‘tantrum’ after not being able to meet with her the other day. 

It was pretty cute, she thought, that you’d try and make her acknowledge the fault on her part by ignoring her.

You didn’t walk with her back to dorms as per usual that dismissal. Instead, just like what you had used to do before finding consolation in her, you walked alone, accomplishing being able to avoid your classmates as you did. By the time she reached the dorms, you were in the kitchen, fetching a glass of water to satiate your throat. She took a hold of your wrist before you went back to your room.

“(Y/n),” she pleaded, “tell me what’s wrong.”

You looked at her with a reluctant expression. Perhaps you should. After the short while that you had been hanging out with her, her presence turned into something you came to miss. You wanted her back, but not in the way she wanted you.

“I-it’s just,” you stammered out, “y-you know how I feel being alone in the common room without you. I... I’m not comfortable with our classmates when you’re not around.” She took pride in this. “I don’t take it lightly how you left me alone the other day...”

Your voice faltered out the longer you spoke.

So she was correct; you were certainly having your little ‘tantrum.’ With a guilty smile, she left your wrist to hold your hand tenderly, and suddenly it dawned upon you the feeling of whenever Bakugou held your waist, Shoto nuzzled his face on your neck or Izuku invaded your personal space.

Fear and apprehension.

Before you could preach your objection to whatever she had planned ahead for you, she dragged you along with her and you both reached her dorm room before you could comprehend where she was taking you. 

“I’ll make it up to you.” She said, making you sit on her large bed.

Then she proceeded to make you tea, boiling water with an electric kettle situated on top of her study desk; there also laid a tea set next to her three books, which you assumed were those of which would aid her in the utility of her quirk, like encyclopedias. Beside those was a piece of cloth, unfolded, unkept - a (s/c)-colored silk fabric.

Your face drained of color.

She pushed the books towards the cloth, completely obscuring it from your view and leaving the table disorganized. You knew Momo, neat and orderly as much as possible; she wouldn’t do that without reason.

Now that you thought about it, the same day someone had barged in your room, your underwear had been missing from your set of laundry garments. You spent the next whole day actively avoiding Aoyama, thinking he was the culprit to this felony. At the present moment you were reconsidering your allegation.

“U-um, Momo, I need to go-”

“Here!”

She yelled it so giddily, so uncharacteristically, as she pushed the cup of tea towards your way. How she did so was very quick that you had not the time to take it properly, and steaming liquid fell to your décolletage, past the cotton of your uniform and streaming down the valley of your breasts. It was a moist mess. She loved every bit of it.

“Oh! Oh, my bad. I’ll- I’ll clean you up!” She exclaimed, all flushed and excited.

You didn’t find it in you to push her back when she began to do exactly what she had said, taking your blazer off, loosening your school tie and unbuttoning the dress shirt underneath, only ever being able to stare at her with eyes that evinced betrayal, because it slowly occurred to you that she was satiating her own selfish obsession with you all under the ruse of maintaining a decent friendship. 

“(Y/n),” She breathed out, “I adore you.”

She was no different than the rest of your classmates, and you were a fool to think otherwise.
