Here it is, the first instalment of my biggest project yet!
If you are the best part of me is a 4k word fic exploring the Miya twins dynamic and addressing the struggles that come with constantly being compared to someone. (more yapping plus bigger images below)
This fic is fairly stand alone so I feel comfortable posting it on its own. Parts two and three are both significantly longer so we will see how I go with posting them, but for now, I hope you enjoy this starting point!
kurunthokai, 168 — “what the hero said to his heart”
The German language has quite a few animalistic verbs:
fuchsen ("to fox") = to annoy
hechten ("to pike") = to dive
reihern ("to heron") = to puke
dackeln ("to dachshund") = to walk slowly

vögeln ("to bird") = to have sex
einigeln ("to hedgehog in") = to curl up
hamstern ("to hamster") = to hoard
schlängeln ("to snake") = to wriggle
stieren ("to bull") = to goggle
unken ("to toad") = to gripe, augur doom
tigern ("to tiger") - to walk tigerishly
"guys we're so cooked" "it's wraps" "the end is near" shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up. i say that with love because you are probably saying it out of distress and hopelessness, but for your own well-being and for everyone else's, please stop saying this shit.
no we are not "cooked." and by saying that, by the way, you are giving more power to the neo-nazi oligarchy in charge.
they want you to abandon all hope of a better life. they want you to believe "oh well, it's over, we might as well stop trying to fight back and just resign ourselves to despair forever."
every time you get on tiktok and comment "guys we're so cooked haha it's over," you are feeding into the mindset of hopeless compliance. you are, unknowingly, spreading this infectious idea that just because we've lost one battle, we've lost the entire war.
your words matter. i am saying this out of love and concern for our future, but please stop choosing words of defeat.
I have the words "rage" and "hope" tattooed on my knuckles and there's a great deal of things I could say about that that would most certainly sound very pretentious but that I mean on the deepest, truest and most personal level but to summarize it I will say this:
To me rage and hope are two of the driving forces of this world. I think as a society we tend to demonize rage. It's seen primarily as a violent and harmful thing but to me it absolutely is not. Rage is to see a status quo, a "this is how things are" and go "absolutely the fuck not".
Rage is to see how you are being treated, to see how this world operates and to decide you think its cruel, unnecessarily so, and that you won't tolerate it anymore. Rage is, put simply, the emotion of "I am not okay with this" and as exactly that its a driving emotive force that inspires us to ACT and try and change how things are.
Hope is the second driving force I see. Hope is to see how things are, get pissed off and think "we could be better". Things could be better, things could be less cruel, we could live a different way. We could NOT be in pain.
Rage is seeing things and realizing they are bad. Hope is seeing bad things and realizing they could be better.
thinking of a friend of mine, where our friendship began in the depths of our individual self loathing and guardedness. to have fought through gritted teeth and years of pain to get to where we are. and now to beam with light and celebrate with one another how far we’ve come. proud of each other and proud of ourselves. this is the part of growing up and growing older i didn’t think i’d ever get to see. i’m glad i stuck around.
i live in a hologram with you
a short n sweet lyricstuck, im on a roll and incapable of shutting up about this AU
it’s only gonna eat you
The second one is a trainwreck min playlist cover, all about Him! Wow! You can listen to it here
I need Osamu-centric fic recs
A lot of the time I've seen Atsumu-centric fics and oh my god, they are good. A lot of them are really good. Especially when the relationship between the Miya Twins is explored. But so many times I feel like I want to know more about Osamu too because he's a Miya Twin too. Anyone got any fic recs with that? Even if it's ship it's okay but I'd prefer if it were focused on the twins.
There are these two really really good fics that I read from Osamu's POV: where do you see yourself in a hundred years? by onewhodiedyoung https://archiveofourown.org/works/42245820 and when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set your brother on fire by pepperfield https://archiveofourown.org/works/24575503
