This scene hits so hard when you look back on it.
If you think about this scene on a deeper context, it relates to coming out, accepting who you are.
Amity’s confession here emphasizes on the fear and confusion you experience.
Emphasizes on the battle between your own identity and societal/familial expectations.
Emphasizes on how the world sucks, the inequality, and injustice, and reminds you that you’re a minority, How it’s not that easy for you. Like it is for heterosexuals.
There’s all these fearsome consequences and possibilities in your head that’s weighing you down. Weighing you down from accepting yourself.
And then Em says something so simple, something that makes it sound so easy.
“Is it so bad? You weren’t happy before.”
And it hits you. How easy it is.
Under all the fears, expectations and anxieties, it’s happiness that lays.
What you are, what this is, what you want, although foreign to the world, is the source to your happiness.
“Is it so bad?”
No, it’s not. The world makes it bad.
Girls liking girls is not bad. Boys liking boys isn’t bad. Identifying as a different gender isn’t bad. Transitioning between genders isn’t bad.
Different, but not bad.
“It’s not objective”.
“It doesn’t work.”
“Is it really worth it?”
Anything is worth it when it comes to happiness. Anything is worth it when it comes to being able to stop repressing, wearing a facade, and pretending to be someone you’re not just to appeal to societal and familial expectations.
Under the name of happiness, objectiveness is weak.
Under the name of happiness, homophobia is weak.
No amount of hate, objective expectations and societal standards should be able to compete with love and happiness.
And at the end of the day, you know what you want in the future. A basic human need.
Not respect or stability. Not being able to meet up with other’s expectations.
What you want is happiness.
And the first step to that is accepting yourself even with all the fear and confusion.
Why?
Because it makes you happy.

Anyway stop reblogging those pictures of Tom Holland and Zendaya because they were published thanks to an obsessed stan who has spent 3 fucking years trying to prove that their ship is real and now succeeded after stalking them and teaming up with a pap.
Tom and Zendaya didn't fucking "confirm" anything!
They got stalked and had their private lives exposed to the world because someone was THAT obsessed with the idea of two strangers theyve never fucking met being in a relationship and wanted proof to rub in the faces of all those "antis" on the internet.
Fuck IRL shipping. Please don't give this person validation over what they did.
Kirishima: Will you please apologize to Midoriya?
Bakugou: Fine, but I have to warn you, this might make me a better, more mature person and that is not the man you fell in love with
Can you draw Michael, please? I want to see him on your style
I have no idea how I missed just how integral Micheal Afton is to FNAFs deeper story. Talk about missing a candle in a dark room X3
-----
I honestly love the contrast and duality between Micheal and William Afton. They're both set about on the exact same path for the exact opposite reason. One of madness one of mercy. But ultimately incur a similar fate regardless of their driving motivations. Its a somber 'sins of the father' story that is propelled onward by Williams sense of loss and desperation for family, although Micheal has been there all along. Its akin to abandoning all you have for all you've lost- and losing all humanity along the way.
I wonder if these two just -hate- each other. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts in the comments below. After all, it was Micheals actions that sent Afton on his stairway to hell..
A very self-indulgent idea
If MHA doesn't end with all of Class 1A surrounding the villains and doing some Care Bear Stare type shit to convert them to their side and defeat All For One with the power of friendship then what's the point
Ugh that is like the best nickname Lance has ever had for him hands down.

Bakugou: Kirishima and I don't have pet names for each other
Ashido: What do bees make?
Bakugou: Honey?
Ashido: Huh, really thought that would work
Bakugou: Ha! You idiot
Kirishima, from another room: Yeah?
I love media where the underlying message is to be kind , even if it isn’t the main plot.
I love media where the underlying message is that you are not the worst mistake you made and you are not the worst thing that happened to you
I love media where the underlying message is that people can change for the better
I love media that’s like love, actually is all around us
I love media that’s like “we can’t save anyone.” “we can always try.”
