Oh Nothing, I’m Just Thinking About The Fact That Mike Wheeler Jumped Into The Quarry To Protect Dustin

Born Sexy Yesterday and Milkvan

Milkvan is specifically mentioned on the "born sexy yesterday" wiki as an example of the harmful trope:

why is that? well using the wiki as a guide....

"A central element of this trope is the female character's ignorance, which allows the male protagonist to adopt a teacher-like role, guiding her in social norms and romantic interactions."

"He instructs her on socially acceptable behavior and guides her in romance and sex, despite lacking any qualifications beyond being the first person she becomes close to, leading her to idolize and fall in love with him."

"This dynamic, frequently described as "mansplaining," stems from deep-seated male insecurities about sex and relationships."

"Meanwhile, the female character, characterized by her naivety, falls for him simply because he exhibits basic human behavior, which she lacks."

"Despite their innocence, these characters often excel in areas like combat or intellect, appealing to heterosexual male audiences."

"While these characters often serve as heroines, their portrayal perpetuates harmful stereotypes about female innocence and male dominance. McIntosh's video highlights the prevalence of the trope in various films, exposing its underlying sexism and paedophilic implications."

"McIntosh argues that the Born Sexy Yesterday trope reveals deep male insecurities regarding sex and relationships, reflecting a desire to control female identities and a fear of female agency."

(psst, you should check these out if you haven't already:

the trope wiki page

i'd highly, highly recommend them).

my brain ping-ponging between MHA and ST like a dog whose pet owner fakes out throws when playing fetch

Bitches will find a fictional man attractive and then immediately imagine him in situations where he is losing alarming amounts of blood

Robin fully thinks that Dustin is a dog that was sent to obedience school and not a human child that went to summer camp because Steve talks about him like:

Steve, sighing wistfully: I just miss the little guy, you know?

Robin: ?

Steve, right after servicing ice cream to a guy: That’s my mailman. Dustin fuckin’ hates that guy. Goes crazy when he sees him.

Steve: *does not elaborate on Dustin’s long standing feud with the postal service*

Steve: My parents are actually kinda happy that’s he’s gone. They think he’s loud.

Robin, thinking of her neighbor’s dog: Yeah, they’re like that.

Steve: And the jumping, they hate that.

Steve: - bunch of chocolate. Got an upset stomach and threw up.

Robin: They can’t have chocolate.

Steve: Yeah, I know. He’ll throw up!

Steve: Dustin’s coming back next week. I think I’m going to get him a welcome back gift. Got any ideas?

Robin: Something that squeaks?

Boy, walking up to the counter: Hi

Robin: Hi

Boy: I’m Dustin

Robin, internally: *no one can ever know any of my thoughts ever*

Thought about my oc in a different fandom than usual and oh god please save me PLEASE I SWEAR THEY CAN LEARN TO BE A TEENAGER IN THE 80’S I SWEAR I- *I scream, kicking as I get dragged into a padded room*

going back to the source material only to be violently reminded that the widely accepted fanon ship isn’t actually canon is so strange

it feels like going off to war and keeping a picture of your dear wife on your bedside, only to come home to an empty house and divorce papers on the table. Or worse. You catch her with another man in another ship

Save me Quirkless!Natsuo Todoroki

Quirkless Natsuo SAVE ME

I’ve spent months, maybe even a year with the same two characters cycling through different fandoms and I want them to exist so badddd but I’ll never be able to commit to just ONE storyline when they can be a million different things all at once, without even having to do the work of drawing/writing

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though
