Made myself sad because I imagined Yoichi and Kudo meeting again inside One For All.
Yoichi had been dead for a little while, yet unable to fully pass on as his soul echo lived on inside the Quirk. He was lonely again, trapped all by himself in another dark room because of his brother.
Suddenly, a blue light filled the room, so bright that he could scarcely look at it. It settled, slowly, and when he could finally open his eyes they instantly filled with tears.
Kudo. His savior. His beloved. Had he come to pull Yoichi out again? Could they be free together, under the sun again?
In his heart, Yoichi knew that couldn't be true, but he still had hope. Kudo always gave him hope.
His beloved had a sad smile on his face as Yoichi stumbled forward, pulling him into a tight embrace.
He was warm to the touch, just like the last time they'd held each other as Yoichi bled out. But there was no heartbeat, steady and sure. Not anymore.
Yoichi gasped, sobbed, clung to Kudo as the other man's arms finally encircled him again.
"Shhh, shhh, it's okay," Kudo said, running his fingers through Yoichi's long, white hair.
"No, it's not," Yoichi muttered, his voice nearly cracking on every syllable, "You look the same. Exactly the same. How long?"
Kudo did not require further elaboration. He sighed.
"A couple of months."
"This is my fault," Yoichi said bitterly, "If I hadn't... if I'd stayed in that room..."
"Self-martyring idiot," Kudo murmured, "He was always going to kill me. I scared the fuck out of him, you know."
Yoichi chuckled.
"I know. Still..."
"It's stupid to think of the what-ifs. I passed the power on to our friend, and he got away. I'm satisfied."
"Our friend is all alone, facing that monster, and we can't do anything," Yoichi said, "How can you be satisfied?"
"I have to be," Kudo replied simply, "What else is there? I'm mad as hell that he killed me and I can't fight him anymore, but at least I get to see you again, and hold you again." He tilted Yoichi's chin up with his finger and gently pressed their lips together. "And do that again too."
Despite himself, Yoichi smiled.
"I missed you."
"Same here. And our friend is strong and smart, so I think he'll be able to stay away for a long time. As for us, I think we deserve to rest for a bit, don't you think? Your brother can't touch us here."
A sickening feeling crept into Yoichi's gut just then.
"My body... what happened to it?" he asked quietly. Kudo stiffened, then tightened their embrace.
"Burned to ashes with my own hands," he replied, the choke in his voice audible, "I built the pyre, laid your body on it, lit the flame, and stood watch for hours until it was done. Until there was nothing left but ash to blow away in the wind."
"Kudo..." Yoichi started, reaching up for his lover's face.
"Our first time together, you told me about your brother's perversions," Kudo cut him off, pained and angry, "I couldn't let him touch you again, even if you were gone and only a corpse was left. You hear me? I couldn't let him!"
Yoichi brushed away a few tears with his slender hands as he gently forced Kudo to meet his eyes. Kudo had saved him, over and over, even when this last act of love had clearly broken his heart to carry out.
"Kudo, my love, thank you," he whispered, before he pulled his savior down into another slow kiss.

Youre back! Im so glad
Are you gonna be taking story commissions again?
god i wish i ever did comms LOL i just do silly little requests but tldr i have no idea :’) the longer answer is if i got into writing at all right now it would be for tdbkdk bnha but there’s also so many works for them already it’s really intimidating to feel like i have anything special to offer. i still think about writing for kny and the stories i was working on for it all the time but i’m not someone that can force passion or inspiration for something, i’m very driven by whatever my current hyper fixation is, but i do want to try and challenge that eventually so who knows. i especially still think of what i have promised in my pinned since i don’t like not following through, i just worry that their original requester has moved on or i won’t be able to deliver on the expectation after it’s taken me so long heh i guess we’ll just have to see what my brain decides! :D

Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)
I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.
This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry's list of mentioned youtubers:
Alexander Avila - https://www.youtube.com/@alexander_avila Matt Baume - https://www.youtube.com/@MattBaume Khadija Mbowe - https://www.youtube.com/@KhadijaMbowe Lady Emily - https://www.youtube.com/@LadyEmilyPresents Shanspeare - https://www.youtube.com/@Shanspeare RickiHirsch - https://www.youtube.com/@RickiHirsch VerilyBitchie - https://www.youtube.com/@verilybitchie
Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.
Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks
After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17
It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

I refrained from including certain sources.
First off only focusing on Somerton's work.
Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).
Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.
If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.
- - - - -
Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.

my main problem with objectification isn't that it's degrading and dehumanizing but that not enough people get weird and intense with it

can’t believe the entirely of mhatwt has been in shambles for two days straight just because people have apparently forgotten what an allegory is/how they function and don’t know the difference between a parallel and a foil or how those are respectively intended to affect the narrative 🥲 mercy, please, i beg

You have the kind of penis autism that causes delusions. You see women where there are no women. Get help.
alright so you’re most likely a radfem who’s mad at me because i said to stop pretending like you’re the victim when a trans woman gets mad at you for attacking them. but holy shit this ask is baffling. penis autism. huh.

i like the concept of soulmates—not a “you’re destined to meet me, and love me” kind of soulmate, but a “i’d pick you, every time.” kind of soulmate. a “no matter what happens, and what has happened, i want to go through it with you.” kind of soulmate. a “i love you by choice, and you’re a blessing, and i’m going to continue thinking about you this way not because i have to but because i want to.” kind of soulmate. a “you help me rest easy when everything is difficult” kind of soulmate. a “in every possible outcome, i want you there, to share it with me.” kind of soulmate.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
