The Reluctant Victor, Inspired By The Reluctant Bride By Auguste Toulmouche - I Just Thought That This

Sometimes I get too in my head with my writing. Especially about my smut. I reread every last word with the most critical of eyes and think, Ooh is that cringe? Will that be too graphic? Will this word or phrase take people out of the scene?

And then I read a book. A published, hardcover, NYT bestsellers list book and...

Did you get that?

Someone looked at this sentence (likely more than one someone, tbh) and was like, 'Yeah. We'll print that.'

So the moral of the story, my fellow heathen smut writers, is that we're fine.

As a matter of fact, we're actually fucking amazing.

ship: Captain Price x filo!141!reader

summary: running away from your birth family and then using a new name to enlist in the military came back to haunt you… of course it does.

a/n: I awakened my daddy issues and create a little something for the platonic dad Price lovers of the fandom.

tags: sfw. angst comfort. platonic dad Price. reader is a member of 141. post-mw2 (2022). Price calls reader “kid” but they are an adult (Price is just a dad). John Price being a good dad because look at him he’s literally dad shaped, Filipino words, Price speaking Filipino

You knew this would happen, but you still hated that you had been correct.

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

Now there is no step she can take in any direction. She weeps suddenly, stops suddenly, laughs. Sorry! I’m empty. I mean, tired. Today. Inside her chest everything is ablaze.

⤷ summary: Feelings become a bit more complicated when people start to ship you and Todoroki online.

word count: 2.3k+ words

a/n: i caved 😔 never thought i’d see the day where i made a whole todo fic but it’s 2020 and we should try new things. this is just a short thing i made when i couldn’t sleep and an idea popped into my head, and no this is not my 4k special i’m still working on that. anyways enjoy this pure crack

Kaminari’s Youtube account was, for lack of a better term, ruining your life.

“Trending?!” you cried, snatching the phone away from Hagakure’s hands, who yelled in protest. “It was uploaded only fourteen hours ago!”

“Don’t underestimate the powers of the internet!” Kaminari told you, stroking his chin as if he were some kind of expert or something. “Especially when it comes to the number one hero’s son.”

At first, you didn’t mind Kaminari’s new hobby. He seemed to really enjoy vlogging, and it was better than him wasting his time trying to flirt with uninterested girls. Really, it was fun for all of you to rewatch your memories through Kaminari’s perspective, and to have video footage of things you otherwise wouldn’t have proof of, like when Bakugou sneezed and almost set off the fire alarm.

Now, of course Kaminari had a large following. He was a student at one of the most exclusive schools in Japan, and his friends were semi-celebrities like Momo, Iida, and Todoroki. Well, pretty much half of all his viewers only watch for Todoroki, much to Kaminari’s dismay. They pick apart footage so that they can get the Todoroki Shouto content that the media had previously deprived them of.

When people over-analyze footage like Kaminari’s subscribers do, they’re bound to make assumptions.

And they sure do make assumptions.

@MirukoLoveBot

is it… is it just me, or do todoroki and that y/n person ALWAYS stand next to each other in @ChargeboltYT’s videos?? like in every single video when y/n’s on screen BOOM todoroki just pops up next to them

@ceoofplusultra

HUGEE Congratulations to Y/N for getting the Todoroki Shouto to look at them like THAT 😭😭 God, I see what you do for others-

@quirkiness

are none of you going to talk about the fact that the only time we’ve ever seen todoroki smile in @ChargeboltYT’s vlogs is the video where they were making cookies y/n made one that looked like him? because i think of that everyday

@YueiiUpdates07

Todoroki and Y/N are in love and there’s nothing you people can do about it #todoyn This vlog definitely proves it 🥺

And people think I'm smart...

Yes!! I go on vacation the week around my birthday so I can have my special day where nothing and noone matters but me! Its the best birthdays I can remember (even if it is a bit lonely sometimes but I much prefer that over mandated family meetings or stressing about a party I have to plan). Do it! Do it scared bit do it! If you dont like it, dont do it next year but try it! Personally I usually also go place where I dont have wifi so I can detox from my way to high screentime too. Its amazing I could go on and on and on and on

Let me tell you, I've taken lots of vacations by myself, and I've also taken lots of vacations with other people, and by far vacationing solo is the easiest, most stress-free vacation you can imagine. There's some kind of societal stigma against this. Ignore this. Vacationing by yourself is amazing. There is zero negotiation or compromise. You do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it. You eat whatever you want to eat, whenever you want to eat it. You pursue whatever tourist attraction you want, or none at all. It is the purest release from all obligations and responsibilities. You don't need to worry about whether anyone else is walking faster than you or slower than you and you've lost them in a crowd, did they want to do something different, have you railroaded them into doing what you want to do?

And it's easier to buy solo tickets to things. It's easier to squeeze into crowded bars. Everything about it is just so incredibly relaxing. Don't let society talk you out of it. It's obviously good to socialize and have friends and family who you want to hang out with and see, etc., etc., and it's okay if traveling solo just doesn't appeal to you at all. I'm just saying, I was just on vacation with people, and I had a great time, but we were out to dinner at the hotel restaurant and at the table next to us was a woman by herself having a glass of wine and eating spinach and artichoke dip for dinner while she read a novel and I was just like, honestly, I know that kind of dinner and it's so great lol. If you've ever wondered what it's like to travel solo, it's like that: dip for dinner and a glass of wine and a book lol

If you use character a.i. for fun, I suggest you keep that as your dirty little secret.

Your fun little app is stealing from writers--it comes at a cost that's paid in harm to the rest of us.

You'll find yourself blocked by most online creatives once they see how proud (or not ashamed) you are of your carefree use of a system that ruins fandom by stealing their hard work.

This theft damages the motivation of writers and artists to continue sharing their work with anyone.

You hurt us all by your selfish use of generative a.i.

Keep it to yourself or be blocked once you're found out.
