“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”

Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.

His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.

Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

#perfect stories about perfect people who never do anything wrong are usually boring #stories about growth and mistakes and redemption and forgiveness and progress are lit #bkdk #bakudeku #the quote is from cinema therapy on YouTube btw #love them so much #they look at media and talk about what is and isn’t good from a real life human perspective #and boy did this quote slap me in the face #anyway this is my thought literally any time anyone says something about shipping Izuku with his abuser #if he was still being abused then I get it #but he’s not #and saying he needs protection from Katsuki is honestly doing his character dirty #and this is not to say that every situation with an abuser and a victim should turn out romantic #obviously not #the world is not black and white and neither are people #sometimes you have to get yourself out and never look back and that is valid and healthy #but sometimes you’re talking about two boys in a manga who literally cannot stop thinking about how good and incredible the other is #bro I get it #surface level chapter/episode 1 Katsuki is literally the worst #but his glow up has been literally meteoric

Saturday mornings are for the X-Men! Still on my X-Men ‘97 redraw kick, here’s a redo of everyone’s favorite fuzzy elf, Nightcrawler! I was so happy to see Kurt back in this week’s episode, and excited that original voice actor Adrian Hough returned as well! And based on the mid-season trailer, it looks like we’ve got more BAMF-y goodness in store! Also check out the side-by-side of my original drawing of Nightcrawler from 2013!

LIFE-CHANGING ways to UPGRADE/ LEVEL UP your life (and they don't cost money)⬆️

It's often assumed that the road to living the luxe life is paved only with the most potentially bankrupting investments. However, that is not entirely true, dare I say not even mostly true. Many of the investments one has to make in order to improve their quality of life and socio-economic standing require a currency not found in purses, savings accounts or piggy banks. They often require time and effort, and funnily enough, this is where most people fall off. Even in this economy it is easier to throw money 💸 at the problem than it is to dedicating time⏳and consistent effort over the long term, but that has to change if you wish to flourish.

So, here are some financially free, but effort-wise expensive ways to glow up holistically:

Reading - A one-stop shop for improved vocabulary, communication & conversation skills as well as improved imagination.

Journaling - An amazing way to organize and track problems, concerns and fears.

Daily walks - Offer many benefits including improved cardiovascular fitness and increased metabolism.

Decluttering - Provides you with clarity & space for what matters both physically and mentally.

Budgeting - Is the backbone of financial literacy and sound money management.

Meditating - The best first step to becoming more present and reducing unnecessary stress.

Change your attitude - It can better your psychological and physical well-being.

Goal tracking - A tried and true way to keep yourself accountable for your progress

Learn a new skill - To challenge yourself and boost your confidence by encouraging you to become a multilayered person.

Practice good penmanship - An unexpectedly good way to stimulate brain activity and decrease learning obstruction.

In order for any of these tips to work, you have to, first.💯

If you don't go get it, you won't have it💫

Really loving my character development from ‘repressed and won’t even admit he has sexual desire’ to ‘internet slut who constantly talks about how bad he needs to get fucked’

#trans nsft #t4t nsft #mlm nsft #trans guy nsft #ftm nsft #t4t ns/fw #nsft trans #nsft bottom #ftm mlm #ftm bottom #ftm ns/fw #ftm t4t #how crazy is it that I used to be the first one #like y’all wouldn’t believe it but I was sooooo ashamed of everything even nonsexually #I’ve been working so much on my shame I still have ways to go but oh my god the progress #Theeee glow up of all time

How to stay consistent with your habits

With January almost over already, many of our resolutions have proved short-lived as our motivation and good intentions fall by the waste side. This is my short guide to keeping focused throughout the year, learning and maintaining habits and reaching goals.

Reward good work

If you are staying consistent and meeting your goals regularly, try carving out a bit of time to play or celebrate your new wins. All work and no play makes it very difficult to stay motivated and enthusiastic about your goals and dream life. Make sure the process of improving yourself is enjoyable as well as efficient.

Review goals and adapt

Often we begin working towards a new goal and realise we actually don’t feel like that goal aligns with our dreams anymore. Instead of throwing in the towel, try to assess regularly if your goals are still part of your dreams, and try to adapt existing habits and behaviours to suit the needs of your new intentions. Often we are only changing our behaviour slightly, but it can be easy to write off all of our hard work in favour of a blank slate. Don’t waste your efforts by refusing to assess your progress.

Surround yourself with as many positive influences as possible

One of the biggest demotivating factors in our lives are negative or critical influences. Instead of trying to block out negative ideals and influences, try introducing new ones that align with your mindset. These will automatically push out the more negative or unhelpful voices and will reduce the pressure on you to defend your actions to others.

Allow yourself to fail

By allowing yourself to fail, you’re admitting that you are not perfect in whatever habit or skill you are trying to build. When you can finally accept that all progress takes time and failure, you will feel more comfortable practicing your habits openly in your life, and won’t feel as overwhelmed if you’re struggling.

As always, my advice is exactly that, please adapt all the information here to fit your life and your goals, everyone is different and our needs are different too.

Mwah, chaoscharme

Did a redraw of my lads from 18 months ago :) had a bit of a phase where I drawn these two interacting together so it was nice to revisit it

#sth #vector the crocodile #miles tails prower #request #chumkinboy2 #well they requested the Origional one all that time ago #redraw #what a glow up #I don’t hate the Origional but it’s nice seeing how I have progressed #especially with tails he was so so bad when I first started drawing him #like my vector wasn’t great but I’ve talked about that before #this is so messy I gave up near the end tbh but I’m still happy with it #also can I just say that I never feel more myself these days than drawing vector I missed him

dead chat xd

?

#like im still here im still active on main but like #this sideblog is dead if thats what you mean #this isnt a chat?#also this comic finished 7 years ago new hs content dried up 5 years ago i get that it was an important part in your life but like #things change time progresses interests wither and die to allow new interests to flourish and bloom #there is no point in dwelling on the rosy glow of the past as its most significant contribution #is that it has shaped you into who you are now #change is a fundamental part of your existence so dont resist it i know it can be scary and new but thats part of the joy #you will find new content to consume your life you will continue living and sharing and learning and growing because well #you are an entity of change! so keep the pieces that formed you close to your heart but never close it #keep finding new things to accept into it. allow yourself to be molded and shaped and changed #itll be okay i promise ill be right here whenever youre scared okay? its okay to be scared but you are going to be so so special #i love you and good luck

sweet beginnings tag

Thank you for tagging me @raiiny-bay :D

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

Due to lack of storage space I got rid of my very first screenshots and edit attempts from like 2012 a while back (I'm sure I could still find them in some random privated throwback post or smth but honeslty you don't wanna see those.) Anyhoo I'll just go with my first edit with Mel I posted on here for the Halloween Photo challenge all the way back in 2014:

And a more recent picture I posted with the guy: (unedited and half assed because I lost my will to edit over the years)

Tagging: @nocturnalazure, @drawing-way-outside-the-lines, @wolfavens, @mainlyjustthesims, @spnmoosejerk, @veone @dandylion240 @sillypotcookie and whoever else feels like doing this!

Lil' extra for shits and giggles:

This was Lyall's first appearance on my blog in 2015:

And here's my most recent edit with Lyall:

...Yes, I had no idea how to make actual human looking sims back in the day.

#sweet beginnings tag #honestly #I haven't made quite as much progress as i had hoped in almost 10 years #also doesn't help that I am in a creative slump as of lately #but I ain't complaining #it's not a race after all xD #still always interesting to see those side by side #sims 3 #the glow up on Lyall though xD #I'm not exaggerating when I say I needed YEARS to remake this guy properly #he just never turned out quite right until recently
