“It is only once in a while that you see someone whose electricity and presence matches yours at that moment.”

Kiribaku Fics Rec

2am Knows All Secrets - 59k - … It wasn’t that he was annoyed. Okay, maybe he was a little annoyed, but that was just the lack of sleep talking. Because a certain explosive punk thought it was a good idea to test the flammability of his sheets at 2 in the morning. Every single morning. (In which Bakugou’s quirk wakes Kirishima up, and Kirishima gets way too invested in his bro’s well-being.)

downhill - 5.5k - Bakugou sleeping in the common areas like it’s no big deal seems to give everyone else permission to be just as bizarre, and little by little Kirishima starts learning things about his classmates he never knew.

Dulcet - 4.2k - He’s angry, and too embarrassed to specify at whom. There isn’t even any real need to be, and if he were smooth enough, he could have dished out some bullshit yet still acceptable reply. But instead, he chokes–stammers: “What the fuck?”

slow it down (go easy on me) - 26.9k - It’s at that moment that Bakugou realizes something is very, very wrong. He glances down at himself and sees scars he’s never had before along his arms, little nicks and scratches he’d never have been oblivious to. When he reaches up, his limbs feel longer, and as he staggers to his feet he stands several centimeters taller than he had, last thing he knew. He glances at the mirror, catches sight of his reflection, and screams. One of the doors on the opposite side of the room bursts open, steam spilling out into the bedroom. A man crosses the room in quick strides, looking around for some enemy he can’t yet see. No, not just a man. Kirishima. When a confrontation with a villain throws Bakugou through time, he’s forced to face a future he never imagined, and maybe something he can’t leave behind.

not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all - 4k - The proposition is simple: fake-date the single scariest human being on the planet so Todoroki Shouto can go out with his brother. The thing is, with Bakugou, Kirishima thinks he may have signed up for more than he’d bargained for. (A 10 Things I Hate About You AU.)

i want you to show me - 3.6k - “I already told you, I’m not gonna break, you don’t have to go slow.” “What if I want to, though?” Kirishima murmurs quietly. “What if I wanna take my time with you?” Bakugou shivers.

Overworked & Underfucked - 11.9k - “It’s just not manly to leave your bro like this, after knowing he can’t do anything about it, you know?” Kirishima blabbers some kind of bullshit excuse, and the worst part is that it looks like he’s totally convinced of it. “It’s just a— handjob,” he stumbles over the word, the weight of what he’s proposing hitting him all at once, but he doesn’t stop. “—but if you’re not into it we can pretend I didn’t just say that.” Bakugou has to restrain himself from saying that he’s very much into it. Like, a lot, really. - a.k.a Kirishima learns the reason behind Bakugou’s grumpiest days, and he offers to help because that’s what best bros do.

Michael’s my best friend. If he’s alive, if he’s in trouble, I want to help.

❝Nothing will ever be the same. Not the Camp Nou, not the city of Barcelona, nor ourselves. After more than twenty years at the club, you will no longer wear the Barça shirt. Sometimes, reality is very harsh. We met in 2000, we were thirteen and had our careers ahead of us. What careers! If we had drawn it out in that moment, it was impossible to have done it better. F*cking crazy. In my first season after coming back to FC Barcelona, we won the treble and you became the best player of all time. From Rosario to touching the sky of Rome. That’s where the legend began. What came next is history, and what a great time we had. Now you’re leaving, but I know that you will come back one day. There is still unfinished business. Have a good time, enjoy wherever you go, and keep winning the way only you know how. We’re going to miss you here. I love you Leo.❞

To a Decade of Anime

I can’t believe how fast time has gone, like how are we already at the end of a decade! Nevertheless, it has been a crazy couple years for me and I’m sure for most of us, lots of growing up and life changes. One thing that was special about this decade is I got into anime. I’ve always been a reserved person and around my high school days I had a lot of responsibilities that made it hard to do the things “normal” teenagers did. I think it would be safe to say that anime gave me enjoyment in life and the stories to be told. From the tearjerkers to the “WTF did I just watch”, the series that made me laugh like a maniac and the ones that left several holes in my walls, anime has definitely impacted my life one way or another (^^).

So to end this decade I’m going to be listing my favorite anime, some honorable mentions and underrated anime for each year (2010 - 2019). These are solely based on my own opinion and some shows not on here may just be ones I haven’t watched yet. Also I’m not going to be putting any continuing seasons, only season ones. I know I’m not very present on Tumblr as I used to be but I really love being on this platform. Happy new year and I hope the next decade treats everyone nice!
