One aspect of BNHA's themes that I genuinely enjoy is the emphasis of saving as something completed through a mutual understanding of the saver and the saved.

Saving isn't depicted as the unilateral decision of the powerful person doing the saving. The person in danger needs to want to be saved and believe they can be saved. Eri wasn't saved because Izuku and Mirio were strong enough to defeat Overhaul. Eri was saved because she realized they would never give up on trying to save her, and Eri responded by deciding that she truly wanted to be saved.

Bakugou was saved in Kamino because the Bakugou Rescue Squad worked to save him and because Bakugou chose to reach out his hand to be saved by Kirishima. Twice wasn't saved in part because Twice did not believe in being saved or that Hawks could save him.

It's just interesting that saving isn't depicted as a one-sided power fantasy, but as a mutual act of cooperation.

2 and/or 48 for the ask game?

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

What an interesting exercise! My tags are:

Sensei | All For One is Midoriya Hisashi (156)

Possessive Sensei | All for One (94)

Alternate Universe - Parent Sensei | All For One Keeps Midoriya Izuku Isolated | Vault Time (88)

Yoichi | First One For All User Lives (My Hero Academia) (81)

Crack (65)

Seems like an accurate representation of what I write! Either I vault people, I write crack, or both.

48. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?

I can't remember which fic I read last so I will give a couple.

Pocketramblr's "An Ordinary Padawan (Unordinary Questions)." I highly recommend it! The whole series is soooo good. It's a BNHA-Star Wars crossover with amazing worldbuilding. The character development is very complex.

Asher_is_Awkward's "Terror from the Deep" is a cool spinoff of my fic "The End of the Story." In a fantasy universe, All for One is a good uncle to Tomura and a good person trying to end the sea monster threat...or is he? Amazing mer worldbuilding and fascinating mystery.

Finally, "Give Me Your Hand and I’ll Guide You Home" by Suugiart. A Yoichi lives AU where he gets involved in raising Tomura and tries to protect him from All for One's influence. Both fluffy and full of delicious angst.

Hot take but, I don’t actually think the Harvest Festival arc (in the anime) is dragging that long. Or even that long in general, not with how they’ve been adapting it.

We’re on episode 16 right now, out of 21. The Harvest Festival itself started at episode 4 (the first three were training and set up), and it’s set to end either next ep or the one after that (for the purposes of the arc I’m considering ‘the winners are announced’ to be the end and everything is post HF related stuff). Meaning atm the Festival itself has spanned 13 episodes (and will probably cap out at 14/15 depending).

Which is honestly a lot shorter than I was expecting all things considered given how long the arc is (if you count the training before the Harvest Festival and end it with ch 142 it’s the longest arc so far with 45+ chapters, if not it’s the second longest after Heartbreaker Exam, which has 41).

I don’t know we’ve just been spoiled/ruined with short seasonal anime with short arcs, or if I’m just ruined by having grown up with plenty of long running anime that have MUCH longer arcs. Cause frankly it doesn’t feel like that long an arc to me.

For a comparison, the very first arc in YuGiOh Duel Monsters, the Duelist Kingdom arc, is 40 episodes long. And ok that’s an older series, so what about something more recent?

Well, One Piece is still going and the current arc is. uh. still ongoing and is uh. 156 episodes and counting. And ok, OP is a bit of an outlier so, let’s look at something a bit more reasonable. BNHA. The current arc, which continues from the previous season apparently, is currently 19 episodes long. and still going(and just doing a quick glance shows there’s been a couple arcs into the double digits in length in past seasons so, not unusual in the slightest).

So like, 13 episodes is hardly dragging on. That’s like. a normal length for an arc. Esp for what is objectively a TOURNAMENT ARC. Those are always long arcs.

NOT TO MENTION, the arc IS spanning a timeline of 4+ days (6666 minutes) and bouncing between 6 teams of characters. So like, of course it’s gonna be long??

Tl;dr, despite people complaining that the Harvest Festival arc is dragging it really isn’t that long an anime arc. Be glad you weren’t reading it int he manga. One chapter a week. Took nearly a year to complete. Now that is long.

Pro hero bkdk au where their online fandom is obsessed with setting them up, and it gets so bad that it leaks into real world events as well. One day, the interviewer asks bakugo if he has any feelings for midoriya outright, and he just stares in the reporters eyes and says “we’re literally married.” And the entire internet goes crazy.

There’s a guy in my class that looks exactly like will solace. Not in the way that he resembles any fanart of will. But like. I first laid eyes on him, and instantly thought he was will solace. And. His name is will.

Edit: I’m gonna ask him if I can post a pic on here so y’all know what I’m talking about. Otherwise I’ll just describe him in detail

Bakugo and Midoriya, post-war: So, we have an announcement to make

Denki: OMG, MIDORIYA, ARE YOU PREGNANT?!?!

Bakugo and Midoriya: ……

Midoriya: yes, that’s exactly what we were going to say.

Todoroki: Does that mean I have to buy you a present? Cuz, I’m kinda busy being traumatized.

Bakugo: He’s not FUCKING PREGNANT you DUMBASSES!

Everyone: oh.

Bakugo, to Midoriya: you’re not actually pregnant, right?

Eri's grandfather saw her quirk as something similar to Shigaraki's - "the power to annihilate". Overhaul discovered that Eri's quirk was actually rewinding living things, but it's easy to see why the boss thought her quirk was destruction. The mechanism might be completely different - rewinding out of existence (Eri) versus breaking things down into particles (Overhaul and Shigaraki), but the end result was still destruction.

It's unfortunate the narrative never did anything with the potential foil that is Kotaro and the Shie Hassaikai boss. There is a parallel between Kotaro and Eri's mom in that after Eri and Tenko accidentally killed one parent after losing control of their quirks, the other parent rejected them.

But the contrast between the Shie Hassaikai boss and Kotaro is crunchy. The boss accepted Eri even with her quirk and acted in what he believed was in her best interest versus Kotaro who rejected Tenko. The boss's issue was that he was a bad judge of character of what help to turn to for Eri...and/or potentially a lack of resources to address quirks like Eri or Tenko's even with well meaning guardians like the boss.

The Shie Hassaikai boss, like Kotaro, was the patriarch who controlled his "house" in that he set the values that everyone else was expected to follow. The boss tried to reform Chisaki by bringing him into the yakuza so he would have a strict moral code to follow, but Chisaki only adopted the hierarchy and the bare bones of an ambition while abandoning everything else. The boss was shown trying to engage in a dialogue with Chisaki multiple times during his flashbacks. Kotaro, on the other hand, reacted aggressively to any challenge to his worldview and his ideal home even when that challenge can from his own young child. There's something about how one of the villains was shown to be one of the more well intentioned guardians (the Shie Hassaikai boss) versus several of the worst parents in BNHA being civilians (Kotaro, Eri's mom, Toga's parents, etc.)

Thinking about how All Might elevated Izuku’s burnt notebook to a family heirloom just by signing it. Izuku didn’t even need to ask ;A; and something he wanted all his life was so casually given, when life deprived him of so much especially with regards to something as basic as a Quirk…

Some people kept on thinking of the rooftop and All Might’s reality check. What is usually overlooked is that All Might saving Izuku from the Slime Villain and signing his notebook for him was the confidence boost Izuku needed to turn his desperation into a desire to obtain an answer.

And while that day for Izuku was probably one of the darkest he’s experienced during his Quirkless days, All Might remains and will always remain an unmarred bright spot for him.

AU where a villain Izuku was given One For All and he only uses it to "steal" All Might away like merch and to bond with him. Also, people are scared that a villain had managed to kidnap All Might and are in panic mode. Other villains have also gained a healthy respect for this new ultra-powerful villain Deku.

--

Izuku: "Hey, remember that time when you had trouble getting a day off so I had to kidnap you?"

Yagi: "The HPSC had a heart attack! Serves them right for overworking me."

Izuku: “I also blackmailed their president so they won’t do it again.”

--

Izuku: "The villain boss ruling over the city next to Musutafu was so impressed with my feat of taking All Might that he immediately handed me his services."

Aizawa, sick of Deku’s flexing: "I don't know you, don't talk to me again."

--

Villain: "Grrrrr, I will kill everyone indiscriminately, I'm so angry!"

Izuku: (exists)

Villain: "Only at your command, milord."

—

Chill. So I wrote a fic about this:

BNHA AU where there’s an April Fools Villain who only comes to wreck (harmless) havoc once a year. Tsukauchi hates this particular villain, as they keep evading him.

Little does he know that the April Fools Villain is just Yagi in his true form with a paper-thin disguise

Fic Stats Game

Rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

I got tagged by @pointvee

The saddest part is ik most of these will be DSMP sobs

Most Hits

keep me safe in your arms with 4.1K hits which makes sense because the DSMP fandom is insane. It's a 5+1 fluff fic where Technoblade just gets hugs. Yeah that's right Stardust, it's a fluff fic.

Second Most Kudos

i hurt(but for you it is worth it) got 405 kudos which is insane to me. I literally posted this in August and it's only been a month. I did not realize how much attention this fic would get and I definitely want to continue it, just have no idea when lmao. It's a Star Wars eventually Codywan AU fic where the Jedi literally get hurt from other people's feelings. You know the phrase "words hurt more than actions?" yeah they actually hurt.

Third Most Comments

My third most comments is also the Hug fic so I guess I'll do my fourth most comments? It's an Original Work Christmas gift fic where I just wrote mini drabble poems about all the wonderful people I interact w/ on the Stardust server. It's called love letters to the stars w/ 17 comment threads. It's really just all my friends commenting on the fic.

Fourth Most Bookmarks

20 Demigods Go on a Journey (To Hunt Their Parents) at 68 bookmarks, short BNHA one shot. It's based on a writing prompt on this site actually where normal mortals go march to Mount Olympus to beat up Zeus, but it's the entirety of Class 1-A who are all Demigods.

Fifth Most Words

Fifth most words is the same as fourth most bookmarks. I'm surprised there's only somehow 1 DSMP fic on here damn. I can't even do 4th most words or 6th most words because those fics are already on here. Uhhhh I'll take this space to shoutout to the fic that got me active in Stardust: the ashes of trust which is a DSMP fic inspired by another DSMP fic.

Least Words

Wings with 156 words. It's a shitty poem I wrote for school where I was inspired by Skip Beat but had to remove most of the names so I don't seem more insane than I already am.

Not gonna tag anyone because I'm pretty sure Vee already tagged everyone on Stardust. I literally have no friends.

Me yesterday: Mirio's cape really would be an inconvenience to use with his quirk. He spent his whole life perfecting permeation even though it's incredibly difficult and dangerous to activate and then he went and gave himself a free-flowing object a few feet away from his physical body he now has to account for every time he wants to pass through anything. I mean Yeah it's cute he did the thing with Eri but is it worth dragging that thing along wi--

Me today: CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏 CAPES! 👏

With the amazing quirk she has, she can actually rescue Izuku, Mirio, and Nighteye!
