So I said I saw some post about this shot right? I'm back to talking about translation even tho I can't read jp but ppl who can talked about it!

But honestly? I feel like this translation did it's job.

Firstly, honestly one of eng translations never rly made sense to me, not bc it doesn't, but bc to my memory, it had some implications about "oh here he always assumed thief = culprit bc kid" which??? Huh??? That made no sense. Guess I'm glad that fan translation is forever lost during the great purge of mangadex??? (Oh my god, the more I think about my memories the more I think that's rly what happened. The old fan translation had saguru said something like, he's always worked on cases where thieves ARE the culprit of the crime. Which tbf he did was introduced via solving some crime with the culprit saying he needed money for his daughter

In this version here, it's just saguru going "whoops I'm wrong" and kaitos face is there for some reason???? (Dude can't stop thinking about his boyfri-) but that's basically what the post I found on Weibo said too. The "whoopsies I'm wrong" rly IS what saguru thought here. Specifically apparently it's a "can't believe I made this mistake, there's a thief who isn't a criminal and murderer [insert kaitos face]"

ISNT A CRIMINAL???

So apparently not only did he realize he's being a dumbass, he thought in his mind that he doesn't see KID as a criminal (ofc bc that's his classmate obv)

So all in all, points to Korn scans! Good shit! I'm gonna go kick the ghosts of the old scans bc that old translation that haunts my mind was legit so confusing I remembered I reread this arc like 3 times before mangadex died and rose from it's ashes

(that said the server is now poking at the panel where heijis all "you don't even go here!" And comparing diff translations and I was RIGHT TO REMEMBER THIS SCENE AS HEIJI BEING MAD AT SAGURU FOR NOT BEING SHINICHI. Within me is the memories of at least 3 diff fan translation and 0 wolves. The wolves are the diff translations)

Just want to say: a, I admire very much that you've figured out a healthy way to work on your fics that allows you to have fun with it. And also b, am very excited to hear that you are getting there with pez! It has fully given me brain rot ever since I read it last year, there is just such a lack of content for the highly specific trope of using time travel as a device to explore extremely unhealthy levels of self loathing.

I just adore everything you're doing in it. Neither midoriya is anywhere approaching okay for any portion of the fic and I love rereading and mining into all the subtle characterization pointing to that. It's a bit like nhtycth in that some really goofy funny stuff is often hiding some really fucking worrying things, but the fact that characters DO do that stuff—that todoroki uses his teaspoon's worth of extremely stunted social skills to bludgeon his friend's door open and help him, that a rpf shipping war is an actual source of drama despite how goofy the sentiment seems on the surface, that about half of what jon says is deeply worrying and the other half is extremely funny and there's a lot of overlap between the two—really lifts the tension and brightens the universe. It's sort of similar to what you did with gerry, in that endless misery isn't nearly as painful as the ups and downs of a life that, when you step back and zoom out, has something deeply and horribly wrong with it.

(jon sort of reminds me of spider-man in that he uses human to deal with trauma and stress, except I don't think he at any point realizes how fucking funny he is. He's just there, in a home depot, gnashing his teeth because he's got so many bodies to dispose of and this cashier sure is taking her time.)

I really, really, really have had trouble finding fics that take everything midoriya has dealt with to task. It's a hell of a thing to live 14 years as a disabled minority, have it heavily shape your existence, and then one day you wake up and you realize you're...not that, or at least, nobody will ever acknowledge you as that again. You've lost all claim to it. Those experiences that shaped who you are? Dust in the wind. 14 years of pain and life might as well be buried in the ground for all the good they do you. Nobody's going to cut you any slack or quarter, you've gotta simply work harder, be better. And now when you do that you get the results you wanted, so that's fine, then. That's good. There was something wrong with the you before, and there's something right with the you now, and if the transition is a little rough, well that doesn't matter, you're the same as everyone else now, so it's your own job to fill in whatever gaps you need to.

I really can't get over how mentally fucked it must be for midoriya to run into quirkless people, run across quirkless issues, and be silently caught between, incapable of speaking his mind and too scared to do so anyway around those he can trust.

Also I should mention, I'm just very excited for bakugou to get back from the gym. He's been there like a year I hope he's getting a good workout in.

Me realizing that it’s been a year since pez dispenser debris:

I feel like there’s just this very specific type of grief that Izuku has to grapple with in the span of pez dispenser debris that I’m just obsessed with. He’s sort of silently mourning who he could have been, when 1) he has to present like there’s nothing lost to maintain his secret and 2) the entire world is constantly inundating him with the message that there was nothing lost.

Like. I don’t want to get too deep into it because it risks spoiling things and I do have major plans to continue it (I’ve loved this story for so many years before I ever even hit publish), but the emotion that Izuku’s feeling right now is so much more complex than “I hate who I used to be and want him to stop existing” or “I just want to keep my secrets.” And I think the way he interacts with Mirio is the biggest evidence of that.

Izuku’s placed himself at the very center of the Quirklessness debate with his support of Mirio. He fights for Quirkless heroes, very publicly, to the point where he’s not even graduated yet but considered to be one of the most prominent voices on the matter. If you took a poll of Quirkless people as to which hero would be most supportive of them pursing their own career in heroics, Izuku would be right at the top of the list. When it comes to Quirklessness itself, he’s nothing but supportive.

But he didn’t tell Mirio the truth of his own Quirklessness.

Out of everyone, Mirio’s the one everyone expects to know, despite him being a relatively newer relationship compared to someone like Iida or Uraraka or Todoroki. And I tried to imply that he’s sort of the one who knows the most about Izuku out of everyone save All Might.

Like, we’ll get into how much exactly Mirio knows soon, so I won’t divulge what, if anything, Izuku has told him. But we know that Mirio knows, weirdly enough, that Izuku is deeply fucking haunted. He knows that boy has many violent ghosts in his bones. He finds it hilarious and will tell their realtor about it. Izuku told him about the discontent spirits who died in a violent passion and live on inside of him before he told him about his Quirklessness.

And I just feel like one of those things is a little bit easier to discuss than the other.

Izuku has decided to keep his own Quirklessness quiet in a way that surpasses secrecy about One for All. If it was just about OfA, he could tell people he didn’t get his quirk until the entrance exam, and it wouldn’t even be a lie. He’s purposefully obscuring his own past as Quirkless even as he takes a forefront of the Quirkless hero debate with his open support of Mirio.

And the fact that he’s at the forefront of this debate in and of itself requires a difficult dichotomy. He is the world’s most vocal proponent for the first Quirkless hero. He is a known figure in the Quirkless community now.

He isn’t considered one of them anymore. He’s an outsider coming in.

It must be such a strange, odd sort of grief to come to the people you were home amongst for most of your life and be greeted as a stranger. To return home, and to be welcomed in for the first time, and to not even be able to tell people that you’ve lived here all your life and don’t need a tour.

It’s a sort of death of self, I think. And I think Izuku never expected to have to grapple with his own ghost.

not US Politics that’s trending, no. but supernatural sure is.

It's such a disappointment in my life that I'm never going to be a gothic heroine; a housekeeper would say one unhinged thing to me and suddenly we'd be in a very different genre

so scary seeing popular objectum posts with over 1,000 notes sometimes. i just know some people are taking it all as #shitposting or warping it in a way that completely removes all objectum-ness…. frightening

[abronzeagegod]

i woke up at 5:45 am to write a note from a dream i had and the note says "the house lake on superior"

ah yes the house lake

“Haunting the narrative” might be the coolest phrase ever, we’re sad it’s got the reputation it does. Many of our stories basically revolve around the concept/reworking of it.

The Terror (2018): “This place wants us dead.” // The Wind (2018): “This place is wrong. we’re not supposed to be here.”

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner
