#sweet talkin'

[bastard-sweet]

The point of A Christmas Carol was not to teach morals by example; it was to teach morals directly. Ebenezer Scrooge was specifically made to be a reader insert. The lessons of A Xmas Carol can mostly be divided into 'you don't want to be this guy (he's suffering)' and 'you don't want to be this guy (he's evil, like ultimately, Biblically, very un-Xtian)', afforded by the third category of Basically Everything In The Book 'you don't want to be this guy anymore (he's deeply relatable to the upper-class Victorians the book is targeted at)'. The fact that he doesn't spend money on himself is not a sign that he needs to care for himself more; it's to show that he's so greedy to the point that it is useless, to show that valuing money this much is bad and senseless. The fact that he were to die if he didn't change for the better is an example of Cosmic punishment. Maybe the story does have a hint of teaching Scrooge to take care of himself, but that's only for the same reason that Scrooge is given a 'workaholic billionaire' backstory. The rich like(d) to see themselves as hard-working, and were the target audience, and Dickens didn't want to insult his target audience while trying to teach them basic human decency. So he also took the opportunity to slot that into the 'you don't want to be this guy (he's suffering)' method of teaching.

#that post just frustrates me so i decided to write out my thoughts #ebenezer scrooge is a reader insert!! #a christmas carol #also charles dickens' mindset at the time of writing is fascinating to think about. a xmas carol was written in response to a government #report on the conditions of mines factories and mills for child labourers (which before writing charles dickens also conducted his own #investigation i think). dickens vowed he would deliver a 'sledge-hammer's blow on behalf of the Poor Man's child' #and xmas carol is... not that. from a 2023 perspective it feels really toothless actually. it's about a guy who learns about the magic of #xmas and being nice to poor people. but thats because it's not MEANT to be a sledge-hammer's blow clearly. he reconsidered #and wrote a persuasive letter and it's actually really interesting to pick apart! so there's my recommendation #and regarding accusations of antisemitism: dickens probably was really i havent really read many of his works outside of school so. #but the book is pretty (n yes pretty is doing a lot of legwork here) divorced from that. its antisemitic but thats mostly #because it uses classical Xtian models of morality (eg celebrating xmas) to equate not celebrating xmas to cruelty to show how bad cruelty #is. not to equate cruelty to non-xtianity to show how bad non-xtianity is. yes theres some fucked use of carciature but the antisemitism #i read as very casual? like nowadays. its hooked nose = evil. antisemitism was absolutely not the intent at all its just very much an #artifact of its time. which. i dont think anyones learning nazism from ACC. its not challenging antisemitism but. most books dont even now #sweet talkin' #long tags #sweet whisperin' #charles dickens #classism

Which of your faves tries to get some while you're trying to do housework? You bend over to pick something up and he's got his hands on your hips grinding against you, you can feel the hard outline of his cock against your ass as he groans out a soft, "fuck, baby."

the poor guys. sweetheart just loved to get them worked up (but we love it too. get it sweetheart) <3

FAACCTSSS

Like she's caught on with all of them, their longing gazes and touches. Their drunk confessions to her, and how fucking possessive they all are with her (AND TO EACH OTHER)

And as the little gremlin SHIT she is, she's using that as an advantage to kinda-- help one of them (or all of them) to come forward and tell her straight up "Hey, I love you and I wanna be yours"

But they ain't 💀 so until then, she's just gonna flaunt and tease~ cause that sounds fun LOL

#im trying my best to not turn her into a brat #because i cannot STAND BRATTY CHARACTERS #IDK WHAT IT IS I JUST GET SO ANNOYED #AND I WANNA PUNCH THAT CHARACTER AND MYSELF IN THE FACE #but idk whats going on anymore honestly #sweets is a baddie so she can be whatever 🤪 #LMAO #141 sweetheart #black fem reader #hunter's ask lounge ☕️ #hunter talkin out her ass 🍑 #cod x y/n

Hi! Been noticing that @/majorpatheticcas had been tagging you for your boi Balsam, and think his pretty adorbs. Wanted to ask him of his thoughts about Cas/Kas?

Yeah of course! I'm sure he wouldn't mind...maybe, haha.

...Hm? Wha' 'm I doin'?

Need you to reply to this ask for me.

...

...why ya makin' me do it?

It is literally for you, Bal. Just...answer the damn ask, they waited patiently for a response.

Not my business.

Balsam!

Huff. Fine, fine.

So, Cas. Yeah, 've been hanging out with them a bit. Real sweet thing, honestly. Real kind, patient too. Don' often find a lot of patient people with me, so I take it as a gift ya know? Hopin' they always have a good day so they smile, ya know, all that mushy stuff, heh heh...

I like to play with their hair a lot, really. 's real soft, fun to braid. You'd think a big guy like me don' know how, but ya learn lots of shit in the underground where 'm from. I'm still gettin' used to all the "kindness" shit but it's been...nice, I guess.

Lex helps a lot, and I like that she helps me in talkin' to people stuff. Wouldn' of met Cas without her really. Happy to have both of them to lov--hang out with. Yeah.--can you take this shit back now...

Dude hit post before I could tag, smh. Anyway, @majorpatheticcas I think he likes ya~ lol!

it's been a sec since i've done a translation! but i think this comic is really sweet so translation under the cut!! the title on the comic is "kiribaku and tododeku who aren't public about their relationship (having mild heart attacks)", and the caption on the tweet is "i wanna read 10000 stories about people finding out about kiribaku and tododeku's relationships"

Hero Radio OFFTiME! On our program, you can hear top heroes spill a little bit about their private lives. Today's hosts are Deku and Red Riot! What kinds of things will they talk about? Let's see!

Midoriya: Man, you must be tired! You came here straight after a night shift, right? Are you feeling alright?

Kirishima: All good! Besides, you've been working ten days in a row, right? Good on you!

(word bubbles - Very, Very Tired)

M: Alright then, our first letter of the night...this one comes to us from BlueMackerel-san, who asks, "How did you spend your last day off?"

K: Uhh...oh yeah! Hiked 'n camped! And ate a ton of campfire food!

M: Oh, with Kacchan?

K: Yep!

M: He sure does like hiking.

Flashback Kirishima: WHOOPIE!!

Flashback Bakugou: Just eat it

M: What'd you two eat?

K: The works! Spare ribs, and homemade sausage, and meat, and more meat! Bakugou always packs a ton of meat to barbecue, it's crazy good! What about you?

M: Mmm...I slept in until around noon...and I think that day, Todoroki's family invited me over for dinner. His sister is a great cook!

Flashback Fuyumi: Welcome, welcome!

K: Coooool. So we both ended up just spending the day with our boyfriends, huh-

M: UH- um-

K: Huh? OH-! Cut! Cut!! Can you guys pretend you didn't hear that last...

M: Ohhhh my goddddddd

Narration: Our next letter comes to us from DieYouScum-san, who writes, "I'm killing you when you get home"

#kiribaku #tododeku #translation #bnha #this is a short one that's mostly kirishima and deku talkin but i think it's very cute #i'm also still completely in shock that tumblr now lets you go back and fix typos in tags #good on ya tumblr stuff #this is just a super quick translation before bed and i played it kinda fast and loose w the expressions!! but i did my best to get the #meaning across!! #to talk abt mostly unrelated stuff yesterday on my way home from a long weekend i dropped by tokyo and to a huge anime resale store #they had soooo much bnha stuff but pointedly they had a whole separate building across the street for doujinshi #my local anime resale store lately has gotten so few bnha doujin that they stopped sorting them by ship so it's basically not worth looking #but this one had a ton of krbk all laid out and i was this close to not even going into the store but i came out w a little stack! #crazy to see so much krbk in person that i even had my /pick/ of safe fluffy stuff #anyway one of the ones i bought is abt them living together and the cover illustration is kirishima elbowing bkg in his sleep #i was gonna not just read more krbk before bed tonight but it looks so sweet and up my alley #ik i don't post much on here anymore and it's mostly bc adult life saps the paragraph-typing/thread-typing energy out of me #but those guys still have an apartment in my brain #hope you guys are doing well!!

[bastard-sweet]

yeah, callout posts disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, e.g. trans women but you guys do realise that... you can use the search function on their blog? before i follow literally anyone i search trans, terf, and lately palestine on their blogs to make sure theyre not evil lol. u dont have to see a reblog saying "op is a zionist/trad/etc" and blackout because cancel culture bad

#fact checking is good actually #text post #this is related to seeing someone piled on for putting 'op is a zionist and [transandrophobia truther]' (not deigning the last one with a #response lool). n the post wasnt related to zionism at all but also. they are? like i just looked up 'palestine' on their blog n they were #talking about how the focus on the gazan genocide is because of antisemitism. good post but that does sour it! #something something how dare they put gullible on the ceiling -> how dare they lie about. making the ceiling glass (looking down) or some #shit i dunno #sweet talkin'
