Hi I'm Gonna Go On A Completely Unsolicited And Spontaneous Rant:

Hi I'm gonna go on a completely unsolicited and spontaneous rant:

Lolita IS a love story.

It IS. One hundred percent.

It is a love story, not between a man and a girl, but from a man, about a girl.

It is a love story, but it is not a healthy love story. It should not make you feel warm and fuzzy. It should make you realize that love can mean different things to different people, and sometimes those people have bad intentions.

The concept of love, through Lolita, is purposefully twisted by the author to make his reader feel a sense of unease-- just as Humbert twists Dolores's sense of dependency, desire, and reality.

For example, remember that there exists a range of both positive and negative coping mechanisms in life. Negative coping mechanisms are still coping mechanisms. They WORK, that's why people USE THEM, but they do not work in a POSITIVE OR HEALTHY way. Similarly, not all love stories have to be shining examples of humanity and health to still be considered love stories.

The message and impact of Lolita only work because the story is a love story. That's the whole point.

To say Lolita is not a love story is to disregard any and all subtextual and thematic intention by the author, and therefore whittle the book down to a grossly surface-level, performative understanding. Don't do that.

So for God's sake, don't romanticize Lolita. But acknowledge that it is a love story, and that it is a horrible love story, and that that's what it is meant to be.

Lord’s Prayer

Reader: F Character: Daichi Sawamura Rating: E Summary: You were a good girl, a smart girl. You did well in school and prayed every morning. You went to church on Sunday and were loved by your family. But the resident bad boy of Karasuno High School had other ideas for you.  Warning: Religion Kink, Smut, Doggy Style, Loss of Virginity, Multiple Orgasms, The Lord’s Prayer, Unprotected Sex, Bad Boy Daichi, Virginity Kink, Corruption Kink, Lord’s Name in Vain, Spanking, Character’s are 18+, 5.2k Words A/N: Jesus, forgive me for this one. There’s no excuse, reasoning or rhyme as to why this happened. 14 years of catholic school will do that to a man.  Tip Jar 🍸 | Ask Box: Open

You say you wanted Tendou requests so hear me out, big brother Tendou having to deal with his little sister (1 year difference) having a crush on one of his teammates or the other way around🥺🥺

This is adorable I LOVE IT thank you so much for requesting, hope you like it ❤️

You Say You Wanted Tendou Requests So Hear Me Out, Big Brother Tendou Having To Deal With His Little

╰───────────  ۪۫ ❁ཻུ۪۪⸙͎.` ───────────╯

» To say Tendou loves you more than anything in his life wouldn't be enough

» You're his cute little sister, even if he's only a year older, you've been by his side since forever and he treasures you more than anyone else

» Which means he definitely introduced you to his teammates, when he got the chance

» You met the whole team for the first time after one of their tiring practices, bringing them cookies to make a good first impression

» You almost dropped them when you saw your brother talking to your crush since your first year in Shiratorizawa

» Who was none other than Shirabu Kenjirou

» "y/n! You're here!" Tendou excitedly almost screamed when he saw you

» Of course your observant brother noticed that your face started blushing the second you laid your eyes on the setter

» Well this could be fun

» From that moment on, he'd tease the hell out of you everyday

» Always asking when you're gonna make a move on Shirabu, inviting you to his games even practices

» If you end up attending their matches, he'll try to find a way and leave you alone with Shirabu

» Either to help you or to laugh at your reaction

» Although, without knowing, Tendou helped you and Shirabu get closer

» At first you'd be the one starting conversations by apologizing for your brother's behavior

» Shirabu would always reassure you that you don't have to apologise for anything

» After a while you'd just casually talk

» Whether if it was in class, after a practice or a match

» Your brother's teasing wouldn't stop

» Except for the times you ask him to

» It seems like Tendou was very cool with you liking his teammate, you don't get to control your feelings after all

» But one time, Tendou wanted to have a serious talk with you about your crush

» "He's a good kid, I know, but if anything ever happens I want you to tell me right away okay?" "You know we're just friends right?" "YOU'RE NOT DATING YET?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YET?"

» Yeah things got a lot more chaotic afterwards 

» Who knows, maybe you'll surprise him by holding hands with Shirabu as an official couple sooner than he expects
