"I have depression." - character who has been through extensive therapy.

"I feel dead inside all the time and nothing helps!" - character who does like, regular introspective thinking and is aware of the concept of mental health.

"Leave me the fuck alone I'll be fine once I get over my stupid shit." - repressed character.

"It's fine I'm just having an Empty Time. What? Yeah, empty times, you know, when everything is like bzzzzzz in your brain and you don't shower for two weeks. Why, what do you call it?" - ooooughhh now we're talkin

need this tutorial fr

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

Hey, Todoroki, ...

… your infatuation is showing.

the thing with dabi is that his actions speak louder than words. he contradicts himself every other sentence, which is common with trauma. he SAYS he doesn’t care about the league but he ran up like 8 flights of stairs (and he NEVER runs) just to try and save twice, and stated five seconds before he claimed he doesnt care about them that he was upset at his death (bc he wanted to use him, yeah yeah. personally i have no clue how twice would have fit into his plan so i think he was just bsing there but thats up for interpretation) and then right after said that h*wks should have focused on him instead of anyone else (ie. tried to kill him instead)

like... its pretty clear that he’s an unreliable narrator. he claims he’s just using the league for his own goals but why fight with them in the mla arc? they’re outnumbered, weakened, and lack resources. wouldn’t it make more sense to just join the mla instead? clearly he has some modicum of trust and care for the lov, even if he himself doesn’t realize it.

Yes! He definitely is the one person in the League who very obviously tries to keep a distance as shown when he is missing in big moments like when Magne gets killed and Compress loses his arm, but then despite the fact he never even met Overhaul, he helps take him down later on in the arc.

What's really important to note, too, is the fact that his biggest weakness is his own quirk and yet he fought Hawks to try and save Twice.

He clearly put a lot of faith in the League, considering he joined them after the only noteworthy achievement they had was the USJ incident. But even when their hideout was taken away from them and they had nothing, he still stuck around.

Yes, you can claim everything he does is because he wants to use them, but he's also shown on several occasions that he respects Shigaraki.

If you compare his usual speaking patterns with that in the broadcast in Japanese, he speaks really polite instead of having that typical rough way of speaking. Dabi is his villain persona. He literally admits that everything he's done was to ensure making Endeavor fall as hard and deep as possible; not just by boosting Endeavor's career, but also by building himself up to be this awful villain.

If he wants to shock the world by showing that Endeavor's own son has become a villain, he can't just be a random criminal, he needs to be a big threat.

And I think to him being rough with everyone and keeping a distance is part of that. Besides, we saw that he is willing to die during this, so what's the point in trying to build up a relationship, when you're gonna die soon anyway?

The problem is that it's natural to form a bond. People, the more you learn about them, become a part of your life. They make their way into your brain, whether you want them to or not.

Besides, people have an easier time getting close to those they can relate to, so the League all being people who have been through a lot of pain, who have been judged, pushes away, and hurt all their lives? I think even if he tries really hard not to, he can recognize himself in them, too, and wants to save them because he would want to be saved also.

And can I just say I like that first piece of evidence you gave? Dabi's love language is running up multiple flights of stairs!

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

big (nitotan) moods and bigger idiots

You can pry the other Stellaron Hunters going out of their way to be kind to Blade out of my cold dead hands. Every time they mention Blade it's always in a kind way, he's a person to them no matter how much he isn't one to himself. Kafka calls him a cute nickname, Silver Wolf tries to get him to game with her, and Firefly brings him oak rolls because she knows he'll appreciate it. When we make a little cat cake that looks like him, Silver Wolf knows he likes it. They steal his phone all the time and he lets them. Yingxing is dead but he is still so loved even if by different people.

You up-keep a blade because you care about it
