Also Do You Have Any Villainess Manga Recs You Have Been Reading?👀

sorry for being so ass and as religious as my dad is and it being implemented into my family as much as it is i do not enjoy christmas that much. like its fun and celebrations and reunions and then the church part. i somewhat despise going to church since 1. i do not believe in god (even though my dad as mentioned is extremely religious) 2. why bother to participate in something you have no belief in and waste your time :(. i couldve been doing so much more like make money draw do hw exercise all of that stuff!!! but god!!! literally!!!!! is why it’s not happening!!!! jesus my man did nothing wrong but i just hate how everyone around me expects me to believe in him as much as they are. ive lost hope for anything for a while now, im just sad

Episodes 38-39 of Ina11 GO [vs. Arakumo] are fucking wild

Taiyou is just absolutely DETERMINED to Commit Aliven’t on that sakka field and He Will NOT Be Stopped. If anybody had stopped the game and called an ambulance he would fistfight the paramedics. The Dying Guy has escaped from the hospital and he Will Not go back. Amemiya Taiyou is ADAMANT that he will go out on HIS TERMS and His Terms are on a soccer field, not in a smelly hospital room full of like loved ones and painkillers and stuff.

And Tenma seems to be the only person actually fully aware of the fact that Taiyou Is Actively Dying, but he doesn’t tell anyone “Hey that guy’s heart is literally failing as we speak, please do something” because Captain Suicide is his buddy and he doesn’t want to piss him off I guess. Tenma DOES try to Go Easy On The Dying Guy during the match though, because Tenma does not want to Commit Murder, and then Tsurugi gives him hell about it and Demands Arakumo Blood. How dare you have mercy on the guy trying to go into cardiac arrest right in front of you, sir. This Is Soccer and soccer is Serious Business. Spare No One.

And then Tenma sees a bird and thinks about freedom for a second and decides Assisted Suicide Is Good, Actually.

So Raimon beats the shit out of Arakumo, and Taiyou collapses dramatically, alarming everybody except Tenma probably, and begins giving his Dying Monologue right there on the sakka field. He is at peace, he has no regrets, this is exactly what he wanted [well, winning that game probably would have been better], he is Ready To Go.

…Except then he realizes he is actually very much NOT Ready To Go and promptly Panics. “FUCK, DUDE, I DON’T WANNA DIE. SOCCER IS FUN ACTUALLY AND I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN. I WANT TO LIVE!! TENMA I WANT TO LIVE!! OH SHIT!!”

And then Taiyou doesn’t die. He gets carted off back to his beloathed hospital, to become Totally Fine in a few months. He’s an active main character in the next season. Chronic heart condition just vanishes into thin air. That means the implication here is that this poor dumbass was not even actually fucking dying to begin with, until he started Actively Trying To Kill Himself With Soccer. So there was no point to the “MY TERMS!!” Soccer Suicide Attempt. There was no “Fuck, I’m gonna die anyway, so I might as well die with DIGNITY and also just get it over with” dilemma. He Was Getting Better And Was Apparently Almost Entirely Cured. This poor guy lmfao

And then Shindou dies.

While everyone’s busy worrying over Taiyou fighting off the icy grip of Death on the ground over there, Shindou’s leg bones just fucking explode apparently. So now we’ve gotta call an ambulance for TWO people.

ALSO! Also!! High temperatures are TERRIBLE for people with heart problems, and we are Doing Soccer Battle in the desert-themed stadium. The stadium Made Of Sand, with the Blazing Sun directly overhead. That is literally the worst possible stadium for somebody to be Fending Off Heart Failure in.

Not to mention, Taiyou’s whole Theme is The Sun. Big Fireball. Heat. Hot. Fire. Taiyou does Fire. So this is the worst possible environment, AND the worst possible skillset for this guy. And he still does not Successfully Die. He really was Very Close to being Totally Fine, huh. Did…did nobody ever TELL him that he Probably Wasn’t Actually Going To Die At This Point and he just needed to Wait a Little While longer before soccering again and then he’d be fine? Hello?? Nurse??

Tips on how to start your own blog! 💌💋

Since many people have requested this, I'm gonna show you some of the tips that helped me and my blog expand! Feel free to take some of these with a grain of salt, there's always room for improvement! Most of these are pretty basic, but I still think they're worth mentioning. And now, staring with:

1. Grammar.

I can't tell you just how important grammar is, oh gosh. I've clicked away from so many fan fics because the grammar was that awful, sorry not sorry. If you're not a native English speaker writing can be a good way to practice your grammar but if you want it to look okay, there are apps out there that can help you spell check most things, or just do what I usually do - when I'm unsure how to type a specific word I just look it up on Google, and Google fixes it for me, and after writing it down so many times it sticks in my memory. This process is a bit slow though, but it does work, at least for me!

I'm not saying you're not allowed to make mistakes at all, that's not true! I make them all the time, but if they're few and far in between, people will be much more forgiving!

2. Tags.

Tag your stuff, tag your fics, tag your characters, tag your fandoms, tag everything! Not only will this help you clean up your blog, but your stuff has a higher chance of showing up in the main feed AND it'll be easier for other people to navigate through your blog and find the stuff they want to find.

3. Be very clear with your rules, and put them somewhere visible.

It is what it is, a lot of people just don't read the bio and that's a fact. You have a better chance of it being spotted if you pin it right at the top of your blog, even if the lazy people who don't like to read that stuff might get confused and think it's a new post but haha, you tricked them.

But yes, rules. What fandoms do you write for? How many requests are you willing to take? How many characters can people send in, so on so forth. What is something that you won't tolerate being sent in your inbox? Be very careful with this! And also, limiting your requests is actually a smart decision, don't be like me who piles them up! I have fortunately gotten better with this though!

4. Pick an aesthetic.

Okay, hear me out - people like things that are pretty and polished, we all know this. So, try making your blog look like that! Choose an aesthetic and try sticking to it, I was surprised to see just how much this helps! Also, decorate your blog by reblogging other aesthetics, moodboards, quotes, pictures, anything!

5. Don't be scared to try something new!

"Oh no, this is gonna suck!"

"No one will read this!"

STOP, I WILL bonk you over the head if I hear anyone talk about this! No matter how cringe you think your idea is, trust me, someone is going to like it and later, that someone will elaborate why they like it and that turns into a full on domino affect! I've written stuff which I thought wasn't that good and no one would like it but jokes on me, most of them turned out to be my most popular post! Do not be discouraged if someone talks down to you (or if you talk down to yourself) at least try. Even if it does flop, you can always try again

6. Talk to other creators!

I've noticed that a lot of people here are super shy to talk to their favorite content creators, or just others in general! While that can be a little wholesome, don't let that stop you from expanding and potentially learning something new, or just getting inspiration! I literally don't know a single person that would mind if you just sent a random "Hi!" in their private messages, if anything, you might just brighten up their day, I'm dead serious! Talk to other people, discuss what to write, exchange ideas!!

7. Reblog other fics!

By doing this, you are helping other blogs out by giving them exposure, and they could help you out in the exact same way! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not encouraging you to make friends and interact with posts simply to gain exposure but it is what it is, that's a side affect of this! Besides, people will have more stuff to go through on your blog, and they can find more while they're at it! How cool is that?!

8. (OPTIONAL) Don't be shy to open up!

I understand that some people are very private, and that is perfectly fine! That is a very wise choice to stay private as much as possible on the internet, but in my opinion it's also okay to say a few things about yourself too! After a while, people get a little curious on the personalities of their favorite content creators, and by opening up you can connect better with your audience! You start to understand them and why they followed you to begin with, and by doing so you can see what they like and dislike, and what you can write to make them happy in the future!

9. Have fun.

Your passion for writing will bleed into your craft, even if it doesn't seem like it when you start! If you truly care about the characters and the story you're writing about, it's impossible to hide it, even behind a screen! People will be dazzled by your ideas and they'll want more! Be mindful of yourself however, and don't go overboard. If life is getting to you, or you just don't have the energy, take breaks and unwind. Come back when you can, everyone will be patiently waiting for you. Writing, especially fanfiction, should be a fun and light-hearted experience, it's something that should come from the heart and pure passion! At the end of the day it's all just harmless fun that's meant to be enjoyed by everyone!

I think that's it! I can't seem to think of anything else but these are the things that kept me going for so long! If anyone else has any tips, don't hesitate to share! Thank you for reading my darlings!

I’m just going to leave this here…
