BNHA // HAPPINESS (Work in Progress!)

I got dreams that keep me up in the dead of night
Tellin’ me I wasn’t made for the simple life

I’ve had this project on the back burner for a while now, but tonight I had a little wave of inspiration and wanted to come back to it!  Now I’m all excited but unfortunately I literally can’t do any more work until I have Season 3 to work with.  ;v;

So, here’s to the next few months and the wealth of great footage they’ll bring!! Click the link in the title up there to listen to the whole song!!

alright don’t be mad but. i never read the great gatsby. i know i was supposed to. yes, it was assigned to us. i even know, more or less, what happens in the book. technically, i wrote an essay about it, i think, once or twice. 

at the time, i hadn’t read any book assigned to me. ever. it wasn’t that i didn’t like to read. i loved reading. but homework took place in a function of my brain that i couldn’t access. i would sit in libraries or at my desk and just. not do my homework. i spent hours like this, days like this, years like this. just not doing what was assigned to me, no matter the consequences, no matter how badly i wanted to be doing it. i just wouldn’t. and i wouldn’t go to class because i didn’t want to deal with the fact i didn’t do the homework. and then i wouldn’t get the homework. so i didn’t do it.

i remember realizing while i was doing college applications that i had actually, real-life fucked up. that it was permanent, what i had done. that i had a C- of an average and no future to look rosy at. and i still couldn’t make myself do things. i tried to submit applications only to realize i’d shoved off the date to the very last moment. and i was fucked.

it takes me three years and two transfers and three new starts before i am actually real-life trained how to study, how to read, how to enjoy being assigned things. 

and i watch parents of my students yell at students for being the same person i was six years ago: screaming at an A-, confused at skipped classes, punishing missed homework. and these students don’t have an answer. they just don’t do things. even if they want to. and they look at me, confused and defeated and without an answer for their parents. “i just can’t,” i hear a lot, and i understand.

parents don’t like “executive dysfunction” as a reason. “anxiety” and “depression” are often misdiagnosed as “procrastinating” and “lazy”. kids just learn they’re like this. that they’re always going to be. that it’s their fault, permanently. they are surrounded by books they didn’t read. and it doesn’t feel good. it feels like suffocating.

today i started “the great gatsby.” i promise. one day, it’ll feel easy.

frodo and sam (the gay man community) reject the ring of power (toxic masculinity) and throw it into the fires of mt doom (patriarchy) while gollum (the incel community) is foolishly obsessed with the false power of the ring and leaps into the fire to his death while frodo and sam flourish in their gay love and respecting women

Congratulations to @indefiniteseas for being my 1,000th follower! Thank you for not having a profane username. And thank you everyone for getting me to my first thousand!

Just a month ago I had less than 300 followers, so I have no doubt that there will be many more fun people to meet and many, many more messages I am going to regret reading. I am overjoyed to have such an attentive audience for the first time in many years and I hope you will stick around for the rest of My Hero Academia and to anime beyond. As always, I will do my best to be entertaining!

Plus ultra!
