Saw These Balloons Hanging From The Ceiling Of A Kid's Birthday Party Venue And My Mind Immediately Went

Me looking at myself in the mirror and seeing all the shit that still needs to come off of my face at the end of the night

I couldn't find a single serious longfic featuring Spinner from MHA, and I'm now 22 chapters into writing my own. People comment on almost every single chapter to chat about a character we don't really get to see representation of otherwise.

Same with Hound Dog. I noticed there wasn't really anything much of substance for him, and just like with Spinner, I blew through everything on AO3 immediately. Is there a huge following? No. But just like the other fic, I have someone I'm chatting with every chapter, and it's great to know there's more content now.

I don't see a ton of romance-heavy fics featuring Dabi. Guess what I'm about to do? Go write another niche fic and talk to a few others who feel the same! Genuinely, my works didn't start out very good, and even though writing is still hard/my work isn't perfect, I've improved so much while contributing to this interest.

And other people interact with me while I do it because someone out there is wanting the same thing you do 💜

the silliest people are the ones who make no content to promote their niche interests but keep complaining about popular characters/ships. you’re lazy and bitter and that’s all there is to it. “no one will interact with it—” someone will. there’s a community out there for everything. take the first step—look at it this way, if someone started posting about this interest of yours, wouldn’t that be great? why don’t you become that person? you are not automatically owed content.

Me trying to explain to people why I'm weird as fuck

☆ Asking some of the MHA guys what their type is ☆

Izuku: "Well she needs to be kind, and easy to talk to, and--oh, physically? I guess being curvy wouldn't hurt,"

Bakugo: "This is so stupid. . . A nice ass,"

Denki: "Cute face is a must,"

Eijiro: "I like it when a girl can really hold her own. Someone strong, maybe athletic,"

Spinner: "A type? Like, a preference? I'd have to say... alive. More specific? Okay, so, y'know when girls move their chests up and down? Yeah, like breathing. I'm real into that,"

Shigaraki: "I don't have time for this. Fucking is fucking. I dunno, soft hands, I guess,"

Dabi: "Your mom still alive? Good, good. Tell her to call me. It's her, she's my type,"

Twice: "As a bisexual I am legally required to tell you that I will fuck anyone who is on a bicycle. Don't look so worried, consent is implied!"

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

Thank you for the follow! I took a look at your blog and I love it sm 🥺👉👈

The best writing is almost always the most self-indulgent. Write it and someone will read it.

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.
