#anonymous to everyone else

Once again thinking about Peter making some kind of nutrient machine that figures out exactly what each individual person it scans needs (because I keep blanking on cool science stuff he could make) and provides them supplements and stuff

And rn I’m currently thinking about Professor X funding the research (as an anonymous donor) because something like that would really help mutant children the best

And I was thinking about how they’d test that it would work and it led to me thinking about Flash Thompson signing up for an experimental study for money (because they’d need all types of people to test it out) and he finds out the guy he used to bully is running the whole thing, looking like a mad scientist, telling him how it’s being anonymously funded but he’ll still get his money, y’know, just creepy vibes all around

And as he’s the most terrified he’s ever been, considering running out, he finds out he just needs to be scanned, and then follow whatever instructions and take whatever supplements the machine spits out for a certain amount of time to see if it is beneficial to his health

For the haunted au:

We already know they all hate Megatron and no one can understand what Optimus sees in him so they just assume Optimus has terrible taste in mechs and try to push him towards other bots to date instead.

Megatronus: what about that Femme Elita? She is strong, loyal, and has a good helm on her shoulders.

Optimus: what? What are you guys talking about now?

Solus: what about that doctor? Ratchet? He would be a great choice considering how reckless Optimus is.

Optimus: seriously what are you guys talking about!?

they have Opinions™ about it yes. Optimus is absolutely mortified about it and would like to never speak of the topic ever again thank you and good night.

he also cannot believe bee would betray him like that. this is the second time he's been murdered by friendly fire OTL

Do you mind explaining the "so much lead in here it probably killed beethoven" joke to a poor dumb anon like me?

of course!! uh i guess it's referencing a couple different things. but basically:

1: kryptonian x-ray vision can see through everything except lead, so kon can tell the candy dish is leaded, because he can't see what's inside

2: however! kon doesn't clock the lead as a red flag, bc it's vintage, and many many dishes pre-1970s were made with leaded glass/lead glaze/lead paint etc.

3: lead also blocks kryptonite radiation, so when the dish is closed kon can't feel the effects of the evil green rocks

4: Ludwig Beethoven famously died of lead poisoning due to the aforementioned leaded dishes he was drinking/eating out of

so the joke is Kon saying this candy dish is so old and lead-y that it was probably something Beethoven ate out of and was poisoned by, when in reality it's full of lead to conceal the evil green radioactive kryptonian trap inside

(Beethoven died pre-victorian era tho, so Kon calling it a victorian dish is breaking immersion i guess. for the nerds who care (me))

aaaand a google search is telling me that new research has come out! now they aren't sure if Beethoven actually died of lead poisoning or if he died of something else. so. APPARENTLY the joke has been rendered nonsense anyway

Could you tell more about your face blindness, if you're ok with it? It's a kind of surprise to me that you have difficulty of recognizing people's faces because you are one of the artists who draw characters' expressions so intricate and eloquent, like a mirror towards their mental states. Do you think it has any impact on your art/art style?

First of all, thank you! I love drawing expressive characters ´v`

Sometimes I wonder if the face blindness is part reason why I choose to draw animals/furries/anthros instead of people, but other than that I'm not sure if it has contributed on my style.

For pride requests, like, Shu has something going on. Something dysphoria, maybe ace too but maybe he moves past repulsion once he figures out the gender thing, I don't know, what's your read?

oh i 100% agree, i have always seen shu being a little uncomfortable with their existence because it reminds them that they are a little too human (in his heart and in his mind) so it will probably take them a while to realize anything in some form without layers and layers of deflections but they're getting there (this is the sole reason why i like to see shu as a gem slowly being polished, they were always brilliant but it takes time to see it and accept it yourself)

I love how you just show up, repost some cool/catchy stuff, then dissappear into the void for a couple of months. Bonus treat if we get a doodle too. (*chewing* its like a reward)

IM GLAD YOU ENJOY MY MODUS OPERANDI as honestly i have a very loose concept of time unless there is an important deadline attached lol.

BRO 😳 why but also that's very sweet. There's nothing inherently toxic about having role models (I think everyone has role models) UNLESS you are like..hinging any aspect of your wellbeing on them. Or stalking them 🤔 OR your role model is a serial killer or something.

Anyway! It's perfectly fine to look up to someone, but don't put them on a pedestal. I'm kinda short, so you only need to get me up to eye-height lol.

I'm not sure this is where the story is going (probably not ngl) but imagine Bill and Ford getting together at the end and having to explain that to the family.

Yeah, billford is eventually happening lmao. I'm choosing to play on hard mode (NO prior relationship, crush, or attraction), so the first time I was asked about it, I wasn't sure whether I'd find a route to pull it off. But by a few months later I'd figured it out. We need to achieve four goals to make it work:

a reason for Ford to stop fearing Bill

a reason for Ford to stop hating Bill

a reason for Ford to like Bill

a reason for Ford to WANT to stop hating Bill

(Bill needs nothing, he's easier to persuade, he didn't spend half his life constructing an identity around hating Ford.)

Goal #3 is easy, Ford has plenty of reasons he COULD like Bill if Bill weren't terrible. Goal #1 was chapter 46. Goal #4 is actively in progress. We'll get to #2 eventually.

Anyway, how the family reacts depends on how & if they find out, but imo the funniest possibility is—

Listen. Lazy Susan, Carla "Hotpants" McCorkle, and Darlene. Stan's into big butts and big loose long hair, and weird/inhuman eyes aren't a dealbreaker. Canon backs me up.

This would never get mentioned again.

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?

Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.

#i know I dont really talk about it but I’d be actually dead right now if deku hadn’t shown up out of nowhere that night and saved me #not in a general ‘class 2a saved us all’ sense I mean me specifically me #the hpsc wants us to just forget about this and I need need need us not to #deku i seriously doubt you’ll ever see my dumb little blog but if you do #i think about what you did for me literally every single day #you smiled at me and i wasnt afraid anymore #i doubt someone like you ever doubts they matter but if you do then I want you to know you matter #you matter so fucking much. You matter to me

okay but this part in pez made me cry I really want Izuku to find out about it

I mean in my mind that post was brought to us by Izuku’s doomscroll so he sort of did

This is one of the more open to interpretation bits of pez. I like to sort of bury little hints of details where it could be true and the interpretation is the reader’s. I definitely have intent when I write it, but author’s intent is not the same thing as including enough details that it’s “canon” for the purposes of the story. So like. Persuasive instead of binding authority. If you don’t want this to be true it doesn’t have to be.

In my mind, the social media bits aren’t us accessing the tumblr of the pez world. If we see it, it’s because a character saw it on their feed.

Frankly, the hints get increasingly vague with each chapter with social media, so it really is open to interpretation. The first chapter is the most explicit, because the texts to Izuku’s phone are interwoven with the social media bits, and he and Todoroki talk briefly about his doomscroll.

Mirio’s chapter I admittedly cheated with. I put it in the summary that he was doomscrolling. Having more textual hints just didn’t vibe with that chapter. So much was flashback and introspection that the chapter needed to feel really “close” to me. It’s hard to explain. I’ve never been formally trained in writing so if there’s a term for it I don’t know it. I’m a very vibes based writer.

Stating actions like “Mirio opens his phone” puts “distance” between the audience and the character. It feels like you’re watching him from the outside. For really introspective chapters, I want it to feel like you’re crawling around in the character’s head. So Mirio got a shoestring budget of actual scenes. He got picking his mustache, picking up Yagi, and meeting with Aizawa. Everything else was introspection or flashback.

I also just hate the feel of starting those with something like “Mirio opens his phone.” It feels so heavy handed to me.

This chapter had the least textual clues that Izuku was the one on the internet. In my mind, he was doomscrolling while on the train, but there was no clean place to hint more heavily at it. The closest I got was by showing his texts with Mirio at the end and by repeating some of the usernames that were in Izuku’s first social media chapter.

The social media chapters aren’t exactly indicative of the character’s usual social media habits. In text, the rationale for me is that their habits are skewed because of what’s going on. Izuku’s spiraling over how Leku is fucking up Mirio’s life and reputation right now. Normally he’d never go looking in tags shipping him with his fucking pseudo brother. He sure as shit wouldn’t go looking for posts shit talking him. Izuku normally avoids social media or references to him and his friends on social media. He’s acting out of the ordinary because of the circumstances.

But I do repeat some usernames, and in my mind it usually means Izuku is following them. Like, lekuoffical keeps popping up. Izuku is not fucking following lekuoffical. Plague on his fucking life. But when I include lekuoffical, it’s always reblogged by hawksnumberoneofmyheart, who Izuku is following. He is considering unfollowing them because of the blog’s newfound focus on Leku.

lemillions2ndbiggestfan is a little bit of an exception to this rule, because that blog shows up on both Izuku’s and Mirio’s feed, and while they are both following it, most of the time the there’s a different username that reblogged it. They’re not seeing it straight from lemillions2ndbiggestfan’s blog even though that’s the blog they follow.

The practical rationale for that is that sometimes the reblogger’s reaction to lemillions2ndbiggestfan is the point im trying to make with that post, the in text explanation for me is that 1) either their algorithm is sort of fucked now so they’re getting the hate reblogs recommended to them or 2) they’re going through the notes of lemillions2ndbiggestfan’s posts to see how other people are reacting.

The post this snippet came from was made by a blog named mightytheories, which is the kind of name I thought would fit the kind of all might analysis blog that I thought Izuku would interact with long term. I figured I’d be had any kind of blog it would be an all might fan blog and/or hero theories/quirk analysis blog. So in my mind, Izuku’s been mutuals with this blogger for a few years. He figured they were at Yokohama because of some of the posts they made in the aftermath but he hadn’t realized he’d saved them personally until now.

Honestly, I kind of worry that I’m overdoing it with the social media posts, but I can’t help myself. They’re such heavy lifters that they’re practically load bearing in pez. There’s so many layers of storytelling you can fold into them.

On a level, the posts feed into the character’s mindset. To a degree, the social media bits are poisoning the well. Because these are posts about them, and they’re often less than kind. And now these posts are crammed in the crevices of their thoughts like an intruder living in the fucking walls. They stay with the character who read it. They carry the memories with them into some already very emotional charged conversations. It’s an added strain.

In this specific post, the load bearing line for me is actually the part that says “I doubt someone like you ever doubts that they matter.” I thought that would fuck Izuku up to read that. Like, he grew up doubting he mattered. He spent most of his life doubting he mattered. But then other people look at him and say “yeah someone like you probably never doubted your importance.”

There’s a huge divide between how Izuku is now perceived and how he lives now. Deku used to mean worthless, and now it means a hero. But very few people know about who he used to be.

To a lot of people, he matters now. He matters so much. Because he’s Deku the hero, who has a Quirk.

In many ways, he’s still Quirkless in his head. There’s a massive divorce in his own identity, with how he thinks of himself and how he’s perceived. And lines like that really drive home for him that his existence in the public eye is alien to who he’s been for most of his life. It’s sort of a death of self.

On a different level, the posts are a reflection of the characters themselves. Take Izuku. A lot of the posts he views are not ones he’d like or agree with. A lot of the posts would actively upset him. But he keeps scrolling. He doesn’t get off social media.

The decisions he’s making right now are, to varying degrees, self destructive, and social media is no exception. Izuku is furthering his own spiral. He is not making healthy decisions right now.

But the content of the posts also a little reflects the character viewing it. Again, this is not the kind of social media these characters would normally seek out, it’s skewed by circumstances, but even then, a little bit of their priorities seep through. I talked about it in a different post, but in Izuku’s first chapter, the posts had more of a focus on Mirio, and in Mirio’s chapter, the posts had more of a focus on Izuku. Because they both care about the other more than themselves.

There’s another layer, and that’s what the posts reveal about the world they live in.

There’s just so much you can do with it. You have the posts themselves, which reveal some of society’s viewpoints and opinions. But you can also see how other people respond to it and counteract their views. Lemillions2ndbiggestfan tends to be one of the biggest blogs to push discourse through.

The posts can show how the characters are viewed by the rest of the world. And how their actions get sort of mangled through the public eye. So much of what they do in their day to day gets misinterpreted and amplified through the internet.

But it also just helps show how their fame is affecting the way they live. A lot of these gif sets and videos that people use are candids. None of them are doing interviews or public appearances. They’re the kids at the mall together or on the beach.

They can’t go outside anymore without someone photographing them without permission. Sometimes, they get back and find out what they thought was a private hangout was trending on Twitter.

And the posts really are the best way to show all that. There’s no real pov I can convey it through. Anything else would be a character narrating their opinion on what the public opinion is; the posts show the public opinion itself from the most direct source.

On another level, I can bury a bit of social commentary in them. I think I talked about this on another post, but some of the posts are kind of toxic in a way I think is realistic for the internet. There’s that thirst post about Aizawa, that on a surface level, is just a joke about how he went from a mostly unknown underground hero to suffering through tangential fame and the internet thinking he let all might Detroit smash because his kids were too spectacular to be contained.

But most of the photographs used in that post suggest that multiple members of Class A have been sexually harassed to some degree. Aizawa is literally beating off adult strangers from his kids, and the internet takeaway is “oh he’s hot.”

And a lot of posts are like that. There’s was a post with someone joking about how it’s wild that Izuku talks about how they shouldn’t be posting pictures of him with minors on the internet without parental permission when he’s a minor himself, because wouldn’t it be wild if you had to ask dekus mom for permission before posting a fancam of him. But like. He is a minor. People should be thinking twice before posting half the shit they do about him.

A lot of the posts about Leku have discord on them that’s built on the back of people making assumptions about Izuku and Mirio’s relationship and condemning Mirio over it. But they couldn’t be more wrong about Mirio and Izuku’s relationship. People on the internet often think they know more than they do and then jump to conclusions over it, and the harm is so remote and intangible that many people do it without thinking. But there is harm in it. For these posters, it’s a post they never think about again. But for Izuku, it’s another thing forcing him down his spiral. They do a lot of harm.

I just. I love getting to play with social media for this fic. It’s just such versatile storytelling device that i can’t help but use it. I love it so much
