1/2About the hate that these characters get: people need to chill. All core 4 characters received so much hate. I will talk about s2 bc this is when I started looking for hsmtmts on social media. Ricky and Nini got hate for the actions that led to the breakup. People were so mean and calling them names. Ricky and Nini are not my faves but I felt so bad for the hate they got. EJ got hate for starting to like Gina and have been called names for that. Gina was called a homewrecker when she didn't..

2/2 do anything wrong. Especially on twitter, people's behaviour is so toxic. I know you are a Ricky stan and I am going to talk about him again. As I said, he is not one of my fav characters, but I like him (same goes for Nini). He really got a lot of hate this season and I felt really bad when I read those comments. I know these characters are not real people, but hating on them is so wrong, especially because none of them is a bad person.

People do need to chill, you're absolutely right anon! There's so much random hate in this fandom that's so overblown, and these characters face a lot of that hate. Season 2 is when I became like- properly involved in the fandom as well online, and I've seen very strong wording used for stuff that truly, at the end of the day, isn't meant to be that deep.

I've personally seen, out of the core four, the most love for Gina. Maybe that's because the twitter universe for this show is mostly full of rina shippers who all love gina. And then on tumblr, there's a lot of portwell shippers who also love gina.

The EJ hate with the Gina thing is so ridiculous to me ngl, I'm not going to get into it a ton, because it's truly not logical to hate on EJ for being interested in Gina. The show doesn't think the age difference is a problem, and so I think there's an understanding that we have to place on the characters. In the narrative, EJ liking Gina is fine, so that's how we have to read it in a character sense. Making EJ a senior in season 1 was probably a mistake in certain ways, but at the same time, this is just how it's shaken out. Disliking EJ for liking Gina and using certain words, (whether it's the stronger ones or just saying it's creepy), is fairly incorrect, frankly.

I will say really quickly, as someone who watched Girl Meets World, there's a lot more criticism to be held when it comes to Joshaya, as opposed to portwell. I don't want my answer read as me saying you're not ever aloud to dislike and criticize things that the narrative is telling us to be okay with. I'm just saying hating on EJ for this is just silly. With Josh and Maya though, he's a literal college student saying he wants to date this freshman in high school. That's weird. No one can tell me it isn't. (And no, the- we'll kinda wait for each other aspect does NOT make that any better). At least with EJ and Gina, it's two school years between them, not four or five... I think people can criticize the narrative of EJ and Gina due to that age difference and such, but I don't think it's okay to hate EJ for it. People just take things too far, that's the moral of this post honestly.

I feel like a lot of people online either think that Ricky's a horrible person or that Nini is, and I'm very much not of either mind, it's really not that black and white. They both can be selfish in their own ways, and their relationship was devolving at the fault of both of them. My main gripe with the situation is that the show treats it as though Ricky's the only one responsible (and he's the only one to apologize), so thus I'm more likely to try to defend him. I don't even know if he'd be so high up there on my list if not for how he's treated by portions of the fandom. I just feel protective over him? He's genuinely in the place he is because of how mentally shaken he is due to his family issues... Which makes it a lot harder for me to watch him get so many awful comments. His behavior is directly related to his experiences at home. One of my best friends irl really loves Ricky bc it's like- parental issues and also clear mental health issues and that resonates with her a lot.

At the end of the day, all of these characters are flawed. They've all made their mistakes, a lot of mistakes even. And that's fine. I'd argue that's good actually, it's how we move a narrative. EJ and Gina were even like- the antagonists of sorts in season 1, and they've grown a lot in their arcs since then. It's always good to remember that these characters are teenagers, they're children just trying their best. They're all meant to be good people, and they are. It's just that sometimes even with good intentions, things get messy. That's just how it goes.

I 10000% agree when you say that these may be fictional characters, but that the vitriol against them still feels wrong. It's like- I think everyone's entitled to criticize these characters for their mistakes, they definitely make them. But being mean... is just not quite right. It's like- technically not a huge issue to be mean to fake people, but- it's not great either. If you're so comfortable saying such cruel things about fictional people, it's not a stretch to say that you'd begin to be more comfortable to think or say those things about real ones. And sometimes... it's quite out of pocket. It's not that I think these people who say these hateful things towards the characters are necessarily like that in real life, but it's an exposure thing, we get desensitized to certain behavior through fiction.

💥hewwo can I pwease get a romantic male matchup for bnha (darkbox bc I live for angst) (music box) when you have the time uwu

Levi he/him gay entp supposedly (also if it's not too much to ask please no characters under the age of 18 please)

I've been described as having a strong and loud personality, I'm extroverted and outspoken. I'm pretty eccentric too.

I value friendship, kindness and standing up for others.

Goal wise I'm pretty aimless. I dont have any goals, if I die well I guess that's it babey. In the meantime I'm just here to help animals and people who need it.

Positive traits: I always stick up for people in need, I'm good at reading people, I'm good with animals, I love to make people smile and laugh, cheerful, good at talking my way out of bad situations, uhm. Friendly!

Negative traits would be: hot headed, loud, stubborn, arrogant, comes across as intimidating:( good at getting into bad situations, gets into fights very often. Can be spiteful, I've been described as a pyromaniac so theres that. Can be sadistic

What pisses me off: my father. I can and will cause trouble for that man for as long as I live. And people who pick on the weak.

My hobbies and interests areeee: true crime babey! Crying over video games, baking, the occult, taking naps, dream interpretations and tarot readings

Likes: animals, cats specifically, stars, fire, sunsets, supposedly haunted places, storms, being dramatic for the hell of it, tormenting people in a good hearted way

Dislikes: uhhhh hot weather I guess.

Quirks: uh I have 5 cats! Ones my fathers but he never takes care of his cat so i pretty much count him as my own (plus he likes me more than my dad and it pisses my dad off hehe) I have weirdly accurate intuition, it makes reading people easy, knowing what they want to hear and what they dont.

Uhhh dates and relationship wise I'm honestly happy doing whatever my s/o wants to do. All I want is to see their face light up.

My love language is physical touch, I dont like touching people but if it's someone I feel strongly about youd have to pry me away from them.

I once got kicked out of a library for starting a fight in it, trashy I know but I wasnt going to stand there and do nothing while my friends were being bullied and pressured into getting involved with a really dodgy man. I scared the bullies off for good at least B) they never bothered my friend again babey

Oh I'm also known around the area I live in as someone who's good at finding homes of lost pets. Often times I come across a lost animal and befriend it in no time and use my connections to find its family.

Sorry if this was rly long and thank you for your time!! I hope you have a fantastic day uwu if anything's too difficult to come up with ideas for I'm more than happy for you to change anything to make it easier for you too!

♡︎ matchup for anon

heya! here i am with another late matchup but i hope you still see this. i'm sorry about the delay (╯_╰)

bnha: i match you with . . .

natsuo todoroki !!

• this was one of those "heureka!" moments for me. you both hate your dads and hot weather? it's a match made in heaven! okay jk, these are just nice add-ons.

• what really made me consider Natsuo were your values and personality. kindness and friendships are important to both of you. Natsuo's a medical student so i am convinced helping others is high on his priority list too. he loves your driven and passionate nature because he doesn't go sugarcoating bs either.

• you're definitely the more energetic one while Natsuo only gets hot-headed about the things that are the most important to him. i think it's a good compromise, you can help each other out :)

• he was a little taken aback and cautious of your explosiveness at first but warmed up to it quickly after learning what a kind person you really were. now he thinks your dramatic attitude is funny during your sillier moments ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

• speaking of, you lads met at an animal shelter. there had been a dog that was astray in the neighbourhood of his home, so Natsuo, being a responsible boyo, took it to the local shelter.

• then there you were, standing by the help desk with five kittens wrapped in your jacket in your arms. apparently someone had been trying to drown them so you'd taken care of the situation accordingly.

• Natsuo understood jumping into a lake to rescue the poor animals because he would have done the same, but you could have had just called the police?? it was extremely ridiculous but admirable at the same time to beat all those guys up.

• your chat turned into a pleasant conversation afterwards as you were waiting for the animals to finish their check-ups. Natsuo was a bit shy but you didn't mind and kept the chat going which he appreciated.

• later he volunteered to help you look for good homes for the animals you'd both found. during this project the two of you got to know each other quite well and ended up hanging out together afterwards!

• and from that point on, everything fell into place naturally. the growing spark between you was undeniable and you both knew it. Natsuo definitely liked you longer, he was just a lil dense about it . . .

• you're nothing short of a hero in his eyes but dear lord he worries for you. when he's attending lectures he sometimes can't help but wonder if you're all right and not getting involved in anything violent.

• attends to your possible injuries while nagging you not to be so quick to start a fight next time. in return, you playfully bully him for being such a mom.

• you join forces with Fuyumi to pick on him about your relationship. even though you're already together, soft Natsuo still blushes when his affection for you is brought up, it's entertaining for both you and Fuyumi.

• idk if you've heard but Natsuo's 181cm tall!! hugging someone has never been easier even if you happen to be taller than him. the only thing is his skin's naturally kind of chilly so he's lowkey worried if you dislike it but you always assure him he's perfect!

• one time he was stressed over exams so you baked him some blueberry muffins. he gave you the biggest hug and kiss because it's exactly all these little things you do that set his heart racing for you ♡︎

• "last night i saw a dream about being a frog and eating giant flies, it was gross."

• "oh, that just means your love life is about to become fun."

• "i'm not sure how those two are related."

• "just trust me. i'm a pro at this."

• he also likes giving you headpats as much as he likes receiving them! his hands are quite big so he often runs his fingers through your hair when you're cuddling or hugging. it's especially relaxing after a long period of studying. also him carring you on his broad back ԅ(￣ε￣ԅ)

• you enjoy the little things in life and complain about your fathers together. you've agreed to wait a while before even mentioning your relationship to them because, honestly, Natsuo doesn't want any more horrible influences in your life.

• you get him sucked into the world of video games. it's always fun to watch him struggle but he never gets salty about losing maybe a lil he adores your smile as you laugh at him for being so bad at them.

• your dates include: helping out at animal shelters and retirement homes, video game and movie nights (especially about true crime), arcades and astronomy tower explorstions. i feel like Natsuo's more into traditional, romantic and chill dates and that's your usual thing. though i see sometimes you going to get coffee and ending up solving a 50-year-old murder case instead (✧ω✧)

❦︎ ink box

— despite Natsuo's best efforts to distance himself from Endeavor, it wasn't quite as easy and everyone was very much aware of the Todoroki family. and now the son of the number 1 hero had a lover.

— it wasn't actually that troublesome at first. some newpaper paparazzi occasionally annoyed you but you didn't care for them. most of the time Natsuo and you had your peace during dates aside from a few casual fans.

— but of course there are all sorts of people out there, some out for revenge, some for money, and being desperate means using even the lowest of methods to get what you want.

— so one time it happened, and it was all that took. several bitter villains thought they'd get their revenge through you, silly as it may sound. they made a big show of kidnapping you and demanding Endeavor to 'make up' for his wrongdoing. but all got resolved thanks to heroes, the only casualty being Natsuo's heart from almost exploding from worry and his deepening hatred for his father.

— later on, it wasn't that Natsuo was worried about you not being able to handle yourself, he feared what might happen if more of powerful villains came after you.

— so, after some debate, you agreed not to meet up for a short while to let the fuse of the incident settle down. it would be safer once the media forgot about it. you still texted and chatter over phone though!

— but then a week turned into two weeks, then into a month. you were wondering what was taking Natsuo to say the coast was clear and did a straight-up inquiry through a video chat.

— you could see he was restless the entire time. he said you should wait longer just to be sure everything was calm before meeting up. you became irritated because he was obviously lying and not being his normal, brutally honest self.

— why was he giving you this crap straight to your face?

— truthfully, Natsuo hadn't been sleeping all right recently. ever since that day he had reoccurring nightmares about something awful happening to you. they were just dreams, he knew. yet considering his ruffled up past and the frequency of those horrible visions, it would have been lie to say he was unaffected.

— paranoia just wouldn't leave him alone, and no matter how much he wanted to hold you in his arms again and hated making up stupid excuses, the voice at the back of his mind whispered this was for the best.

— after a month and a half had passed you've had just about enough, however. whatever reason he was keeping you in the dark for did no longer stop you from crashing into his house and demanding the truth.

— Natsuo knew you and expected this to eventually happen. after you made such a powerful entrance though he also knew there was no getting around it this time. really, it was comforting knowing you cared so deeply.

— he told you exactly what had been happening and you resisted the urge to punch him in the arm for having such a mindset. but the look in his beautiful grey eyes was so heartbreaking you threw yourself to embrace him instead. your touch was everything Natsuo had craved for for all this time.

— you skillfully assured him for the next couple of hours while keeping the talk light-hearted (he had obviously been overthinking way too much already). soon enough the issue was resolved and you had a sleepover right there to make uo for the lost time (Shoto and Fuyumi kept eavesdropping on you because y'all were being way too loud in a cute way).

— "i love you, Natsu, but if you ever keep something like this a secret from me again, i can't guarantee the safety of your arm or your front door."
