Do you have a compiled list of all the personal pronouns (ie. watashi, boku, ore, etc) the main boys tend to use?
Hello hello! ^^ I did not, so one has been made!
A compiled chart, including screenshots from the game for reference, below!

nuts reading trigun in japanese 3 - "weirdo" and vash's pronoun switching
disclaimer: my jp reading posts are all for triangulation purposes and nothing else. scanlating mangas is tough work. @-@ i know this.
"Weirdo"
the word 'weirdo' in 2024 english carries connotations of neutral-bad or positive depending on the context of the speaker. depending on how one curates their internet space, weirdo often leans more positively with the same meaning as eccentric, but not always.
however, but in JP, "weird" is more specific and often negative. there's the well known, hentai 変態 (ie. deviant, pervert, freak, extremely negative in tone), and in this case, kimochi warui 気持ち悪い (gross, off-putting, bad vibes). eccentrics are more as 変人 henjin and carries a more neutral tone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in this panel here papa nebreska uses 気持ち悪い in katakana キモチワルイ in reaction to vash busting his ass saving people and putting out of harms' way. vash's vibes are so off putting to this wanted man he's actually creeped out.
this is particularly interesting to me bc the english translation didn't end up portraying how utterly weird vash's mindset is fully. it wasnt until wolfwood points out how flawed vash's pacifist mindset do i get a proper frame of reference of norms in this world, but i might be having skill issues in english comprehension. ;w;
Pronoun switching
quick. 俺 Ore! 僕 Boku! 私 Watashi! they all mean "I", and there's 2 spectrum of expressions going on here thats commonly believed. 1st being Masculinity to Femininity. what's the 2nd?
the answer is... Rudeness/Assertiveness to Politeness. and gosh does vash switch a lot between Boku and Ore in the first 4 chapters of this manga lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(to be clear, while i am aware of trans hc thats very popular in the fandom, im not at all diminishing or talking about gender expression specifically. im talking about what vash is presenting himself as in context.)
so to perhaps oversimplify this, in JP the idea of politeness and hierarchy is so super duper important, its very built into the language itself. and Japanese is a very high context language. if someone of a higher or equal standing uses "Ore", its totally fine. but if someone of a lower standing uses "Ore", they've committed a social faux pas.
as an obvious example, if a fresh new employee approaches his Boss with "Ore", he's potentially getting dressing down in the company. maybe in front of his coworkers. if this employee forgoes polite speech (keigo) and uses a too Assertive and Casual speech, they've Really Fucked Up and are one foot out the door.
this is also tied up in gender to some extent, hence why girls using Ore is incredibly uncommon, but guys would use Watashi in certain contexts such as talking to their Boss. (woo woo the forces of hierarchy/patriarchy... or something.)
so. vash switches his pronouns for the same effect. when he uses Ore, he's making himself sound more assertive and confident. when he uses Boku, he's often making himself sound less threatening, smaller, open, and trying to avoid conflict.
sound familiar?
Tumblr media
bc if you translated all of that into a character design instead of relying on just jp pronouns, we'd get TriStamp Vash.
Tumblr media
slight spoilers, but this is even true in one of the tensest moments between vash and wolfwood, where the latter provokes vash and tears into his pacifism ideology. vash sticks with boku in this scene as he says his piece.
if he ever uses watashi, it's bc he wants to be polite straight out of the gate with an air of formality. (this is japanese manners and the proper approach to talking to strangers. mainly to get a feel for each others standing without offense until context changes.)
i also wanna point out maybe something obvious here but.
real life pronoun switching in japanese is a COMMON thing. no one ever really sticks to 1 pronoun bc of Good Manners and the aforementioned hierarchical systems in place. it is only mostly in anime/manga and video games where characters overly prefer 1 due to this being a good shorthand for characterization. this being how rude or polite they are, and in some cases, Gender.

wow. SO. here are some language distinctions that can be a little mixed in translation!
disclaimer that actual talking is very very different from the vocal performance that shows up in anime.
first and foremost, english (the dub more than sub) can sometimes miss the fact that there is a very distinct difference in how avdol and polnareff speak!
it's no joke when i say that polnareff has a "bro-y" way of speaking. he uses "俺" (ore) which is very informal, can be considered rude, and is conventionally considered to be masculine. he speaks a lot more casually/informally in general, he and jotaro are sort of even (polnareff just talks more).
also polnareff's speech is generally just much more rude than either the dub or sub really convey. this man is crass.
avdol uses "私" (watashi), which is used in formal settings, it's also like a polite default- that said, he's distinct in using that pronoun among the crusaders! among close friends (for guys), it's like. got a stiff/stuffy vibe. casually, it's got feminine connotations, but by and large it's formal (kakyoin uses "僕" (boku), which is just a Younger Guy way to identify yourself)
when jotaro is talking about how avdol seems like he "thinks highly of himself" (the phrase jotaro uses is straightforward telling someone that they come off as arrogant), avdol's speech lends to the image of him seeming smugly intelligent.
the one time that we hear him use "ore," he adds "kono" before it- there's really no good way to translate that in english, it's like "i, myself, etc etc."
this is not the only time avdol puts "kono." this actually lends more weight to jotaro saying that avdol comes off as self important. "kono [insert personal pronoun/name]" has an implication of distinction- "me (and explicitly only me)." so "a stand i, avdol, have not heard of."
when avdol says "i've heard of [this stand]," he often uses "噂" (uwasa). however, he uses "見��けた" to describe his experiences with the illness- ie, he's seen people with the stand sickness, but more often than not, he's heard of the assassins (devo being an exception).
when he's stopping polnareff, the sub says something like "you're getting wool to come back shorn"/"tough talk for a man digging his own grave," both are localizations! his direct phrasing is more like "this one's going to steal mummies when he'll become one."
another note is that avdol uses formal pronouns to refer to himself, but the pronouns he uses to refer to others are less formal (joseph being an exception). he speaks formally, but like someone with seniority!
this is because, in this situation, he's literally someone with seniority.
that said, polnareff is a) very vocally independent, b) has an ego taking up 5/6 of the known universe, but more importantly, the comment that makes avdol try to punch him isn't "holier than thou," it's "go keep pretending to be more of an adult/above it all like always."
there's already jotaro's comment about avdol coming off as arrogant, but polnareff is accusing avdol of putting up a front/acting like someone he's not (the verb is "otonabutte").
there are more but here's some for now

Puppy Love
By: fairystar111
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rating: Gen
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Summary:
Quirk: {Puppy love}: The user emits a pink ray from his hands. Once a target is hit they become the type of dog most suited to them. The quirk can only be undone by true love's kiss ie. platonic, friendship, or romantic. If the target manages to get a kiss from someone who truly loves them then they will transform back to human form. [Warning!]: If the quirk is not undone within a month, permanent canine characteristics will begin to accumulate on the target’s real body. If the quirk is not reversed within three months the target will lose their humanity, permanently becoming a dog. Or Shigaraki brings home a new pet
Characters: Midoriya Izuku, Shigaraki Tomura | Shimura Tenko
Tags: Animal Transformation, Dog Midoriya Izuku, Fluff and Angst, Kidnapping, Unintentional Kidnapping, Yandere, Yandere Shigaraki Tomura | Shimura Tenko, Obsessive Behavior, Possessive Behavior, Platonic Yandere, Platonic Kissing, Fluff, Body Horror, Protective Shigaraki Tomura | Shimura Tenko, Possessive Shigaraki Tomura | Shimura Tenko
The day had started off pretty normal for Izuku. He had woken up early Saturday morning to clean his dorm before going home for the weekend. He made it to his mother’s apartment uneventfully and spent the morning together. Then his mom had asked him to run an errand for her. All he had to do was pick up the ingredients for katsudon at their local market down a couple blocks from their home. That was it. Now here he was stuck as a dog in a dirty alleyway.
He didn’t mean to get into trouble and be hit with the thief’s quirk, okay! But he wasn’t just going to stand there and let him get away! He’s a hero student he can’t not help those in need. When he heard the kind old shop lady screaming out she was being robbed, he couldn’t help himself. His body moved on its own and before he knew it, he was bolting out the door after the masked man. He managed to corner the man in an alleyway and was going to call the authorities. He didn’t expect to be hit with a strange sparkling pink ray of light and fall flat on his face.
Izuku screamed in agony as he felt his body shifting. Bones twisting and breaking transforming into something much smaller. His face, nose, and mouth being crushed down and reformed until he couldn’t scream only release high pitched little whimpers. The last thing he felt was something popping out of him near his lower back or what used to be his back. Then a voice from above spoke.
“Oh well aren't you a cute one. I don’t doubt, you’ll be able to charm anyone that comes across you.” The thief tapped the pup on the nose when he noticed him dozing off, tired from the strain of the transformation. “Hey listen up! I’ll give you some advice since you seem like a promising young kid. The cure is love. Well I gotta get out of here, good luck with that!” with one last pet he left leaving Izuku all alone. 
The boy managed to drag his new foreign body into a dirty ramen case near a dumpster. When he heard a distant voice call out, “Oh and make sure you're out of that form within a month!” before passing out. 
===
It was dark and cold when he awoke. He tried to stand up but his body felt odd like he was unbalanced even his vision was off. It was the middle of the night but he could still see clearly albeit the colors around him looked off. He looked down and yipped when he found paws in place of feet. W-what happened?
Then he remembered, the thief from earlier had hit him with his quirk. What had the man said?
Something about love being able to undo it. What was that supposed to mean! Is he supposed to get someone to fall in love with him? But how, he’s a dog? And what then, is the person who loves him just supposed to make contact with him. Maybe pet him or…oh...oh no…this quirk can’t be so cliche that the cure is a kiss could it? He’s lucky his face is covered in fur or else he is certain he would be blushing a tomato red. 
Well love doesn’t have to be romantic, it comes in many forms, he could just find his mom and ask her for a kiss on the forehead. Wait, he can't talk. He’ll just head back to UA and find Kota and then tell him to ask the teachers for help. And what would happen to him after a month? Why was that important enough to mention? Is this going to be permanent if it's not reversed within a month's time?! 
The boy didn't notice but his usual muttering was spilling out of him the whole time but in dog form it sounded like the weak whimpering cries of a puppy. He had unknowingly attracted the attention of a certain white haired villain who just so happened to be walking down the alleyway. 
Izuku felt the box being shifted upright and he was knocked off his feet. He peered up to see what had moved his temporary home only to see Tomura Shigaraki peering down at him. He tried to scream but what came out was more like a terrified yelp. He scrambled into the corner of the box narrowly avoiding the deadly hands reaching for him.
“It's okay little one, you don’t have to be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you.” He hears a gentle scratchy voice coo. Is Shigaraki talking to him?! The same Tomura Shigaraki that held him hostage at the mall and spoke like a crazed lunatic. Why is he looking at him so softly? Oh right he's a dog now. And judging on the height of the box around him, a very small one, likely a puppy. Huh, guess even villains are weak to puppies. 
The box is lifted into the man’s arms and suddenly Izuku is being carried somewhere. Izuku tries to growl or bark at the man to show his displeasure but all that comes out are weak little cries. It seems his new body is quite underdeveloped. “Shh shh I know it's scary being all alone in such a big world, when you are so small. I'm going to take you somewhere safe.”
He feels the man walking for a bit before pausing. Izuku hears a brief woosh sound and then he is inside the League’s base. Or at least he thinks it is, all he can see is the ceiling. The walls of his box are too high for him to look over. He heard what must have been other League members greet Shigaraki. 
“Whaddya got there boss?” He hears a deep gravelly voice ask. 
“Uh…soup. I'm going to my room now, don't bother me.” The man said abruptly before hastily retreating with the rustling box in tow. 
“Aww man I wanted some,” A feminine voice whined.
“That was clearly not ramen.” responded the first voice. 
“Yeah no,” He heard another strange voice say before the door was shut and locked behind him. 
Shigaraki took him out of the box, grabbing him with all ten fingers. Izuku tensed bracing for disintegration yet nothing happened. Shigaraki simply placed him on his bed while he fiddled with his phone for a moment. 
He took the chance to take in his new surroundings. Shigaraki’s bedroom was huge with massive floor length windows and a large balcony. The bed he was currently sitting on was unnecessarily large, piled high with plush pillows and blankets. An enormous TV hung on the wall with multiple gaming consoles connected to it and he had an expensive looking computer setup in the corner of the room. While the shelves on the walls were a little cluttered with manga and figurines, the room itself was fairly clean aside from a few empty energy drink cans and chip bags littering the desk. Nothing at all like he was expecting. 
Where had the League acquired the funds for this type of luxury? Their last hideout in Kamino had been a desolate ruin compared to this place. How did they gain this much power in such a short amount of time? This is a cause for concern, when he returns back to normal, he’ll report this change in status right away. If they were gaining followers powerful enough to sponsor this type of lifestyle. It could be detrimental to the hero's side if an all out war were to–eep! his mumbling is cut short as he is picked up.
“Shh shh don’t cry, it’s alright your food will be here soon. You must be so hungry.” He tried to struggle out of the villain's lap but his pudgy little limbs were not strong enough to push him away. His body seems to be quite young; he can't move the same way he’d seen dogs running around in his neighborhood move. 
There was a knock to the door and he was put down as Shigaraki gathered what seemed to be multiple bags of pet supplies. He heard a faint,“You know, you could say thank you asshole!” from the other side of the door as it was shut abruptly. The villain busied himself on the other side of the bed sorting through the bags, and pulling out a can of formula and a tiny bottle. He read the instructions on the can and scooped a tiny bit of powder into the bottle before crossing the room opening the door to what seemed to be a bathroom. 
He heard the faucet running and wondered for a moment why Shigaraki was making a bottle. It was only when the nipple was put up to his face, did he realize it was supposed to be for him. “C’mon what was all that crying earlier for? Go on, eat.” 
Well he was hungry, Izuku hadn’t eaten since breakfast so he hesitantly latched on to the tip of the bottle and sucked. He expected the formula to be gross but the liquid was lukewarm and thick, tasting like sweet creamy milk. Once he started drinking he couldn't stop, his new instincts urging him to eat as fast as he could until he was full. 
“Good puppy.” Izuku felt his face flush as the villain praised him for simply eating, gently petting him as he encouraged him to drink more. 
“You're so small, you look like you've barely opened your eyes. Did your family abandon you? Were you all alone on the streets crying for help and being ignored by every passerby. The world can be so cruel to those who do not fit the mold in society. If you have nothing to offer the world of heroes, they're happy to leave you alone to die on the streets…”  The man trailed off into silence, eyes glazed staring into nothing, petting him absentmindedly. There was something off in the man's tone like what he was saying was sort of personal. He contemplated what could have made the man the villain he is today for a moment but found himself nodding off to the rhythmic petting and tummy full of warm milk. 
===
He’s woken up the sound of running water. He found himself lying on a towel on the side of the large sink. He straightened his paws in front of him and used all his strength to push himself up into a sitting position. He stared straight into the large mirror. To the left of him he saw Shigaraki running a bath in the large sink and to the right he saw himself for the first time. He knew he had been changed into a dog. The thief had said so after all, but to see it with his own eyes was shocking. 
He was so small, from what he can tell his body is about two months old. He had his same soft  curly hair and big green eyes. Though his fur was dark, almost black, but shone green in direct light. He had a white fluffy belly with a pink little nose and soft rosy paw pads. He was, to put it simply, adorable. He could see why even a villain like Shigaraki would want to ‘rescue’ him. 
Izuku watched the dangerous set of hands reaching for him in the mirror but didn't bother to dodge this time. Shigaraki has shown he has no hostility for Izuku in this form and that he has far better control of his quirk than he did in the USJ. He no longer needed five point activation to access his quirk. Which is another change he’ll make sure to report to the heroes.  
“Sorry puppy but you need a bath, you smell.” The villain muttered as he dipped him into the warm water. Soaking his fur before squirting a dollop of shampoo onto his back and gently massaging it in. 
A poke to his stomach then, “What a chubby little belly, so full of milk.” Okay rude. It's unfortunately true though, with the water crushing down the curls his body looks like a potato with four toothpicks poking out of it for legs. 
The villain continues on with his bath, gently rinsing the soap suds out of his fur before draining the sink and placing him back onto his towel and rubbing him dry. 
“There all done. You've been such a very good–wait, what even are you?” He hears Shigaraki ask before he’s being flipped onto his back and stared down.
“Oh, definitely a boy.” Izuku growled when he realized what he was looking at. Biting the finger closest to his face and shaking his head, aiming to tear skin. The man however just chuckled as if his attack meant nothing. 
“Alright alright I'm sorry. Guess you don’t like being flipped on your back like that.” No I just don’t like a S-Tier villain who can crumble things to dust staring at my weewee thank you very much! 
The man carried him out of the bathroom turning off the light behind him and setting him back on the bed all while Izuku continued to nip and growl at him. Shigaraki went back to the bags, pulling out several more items and moving them to a corner. He laid down several puppy pads onto the floor along with a fluffy dog bed that resembled a cozy cave and some stuffed toys. 
“Alright I’m tired. Goodnight puppy.” The man slumped forward onto his bed and was out within seconds. That doesn't really seem healthy but it's none of Izuku’s business so he puts it out of mind.
Izuku waited until he was absolutely certain the villain was asleep and made his way out of his bed. He looked around the room for any exits or useful information surrounding the League but found nothing. The room was locked tight and the floor was free of any debris. 
He made his way toward the windows hoping to see a familiar cityscape and start formulating a plan to escape but the view held nothing but miles and miles of forest; there weren't even any lights indicating homes nearby. The moon glowed and the stars shined brighter than he’s ever seen before, the lack of light pollution indicated the absence of inhabitants in the area. 
Meaning Izuku is completely and utterly alone at the mercy of these villains. Even if he manages to make it out of the mansion his young body won't be able to make the journey back to civilization. He would likely die from starvation, exhaustion, or a predator preying on him. There’s no way he can make it back to UA like this.
Alright this is not the time to panic, he just needs to think rationally and analyze his options. He can’t access his quirk in this form. He can’t speak nor does he have the stamina to move large distances. So that means the most probable way he’ll be able to escape is through their mode of transportation. 
If the villain's base is in the middle of nowhere they have to be getting all their supplies transported in somehow. Judging by this room alone the base was most likely huge. 
The mist villain certainly couldn't be doing everything himself. No, there has to be vehicles to help bring things in and out. If he can manage to sneak into someone's bag or hide in a load of cargo meant to be sent out, maybe he can find a way back to–yelp!
Izuku yelped as he was suddenly picked up, derailing his train of thought. He hadn’t even heard the villain wake up, let alone walk over to him. His heart was hammering in his chest wondering what the villain would do to him for waking him. So far he has been nothing but kind to him but he doesn’t know if a sleep deprived Shigaraki will extend the same courtesy.
“It’s okay puppy. You can sleep with me, stop crying.” Shigaraki sleepily muttered getting back into bed. This time actually slipping underneath the blankets and resting him on his chest, one hand cupping Izuku’s back securing him in place. 
‘It's just for now’ Izuku thinks. He’ll lay in wait until he finds an opening to escape. For the meantime he’ll just have to play the role of pet dog. He can do this! 
===
Izuku’s abruptly woken up by the man gasping awake, lurching forward and sending him tumbling off his chest. Izuku growled up at the man to show his displeasure.  
The villain groggily grumbling out, “Huh? Oh right, sorry puppy.” and petting him in apology. It seems the man had forgotten he brought him home last night. 
Tomura got up stretching out his limbs chuckling when he turned to see Izuku doing the same. He dropped him off on the makeshift bathroom in the corner before he went to the real bathroom.
‘I can't do this!’ Izuku thought. The man had left him in his corner with firm instructions to ‘go potty’ while he went to get ready for the day. Izuku has been sitting staring out into nothing for the past fifteen minutes. He failed to realize just how helpless he is as a puppy. He can’t even use the normal restroom or chew food on his own. How is he supposed to escape in these conditions?
Izuku startled as the door creaked open. The man walked out in a black suit with a long red cape. The cape had fur lining the collar and gold embellishments keeping it closed. It made him look regal, frighteningly like…a king. 
The facade broke though as he stared down at him in concern. “Maybe you need to eat some more first?”
He got a new bottle prepared in a dash and was feeding Izuku in his lap when he told him. “I’ll be away most of today. Someone else will come by to feed you lunch later. I should be back by dinner, remember to be a good boy and go potty okay? Bye puppy.” He left soon after, leaving Izuku alone.
Izuku had been planning on eavesdropping by the door while Shigaraki was away but as soon as he was plopped into his bed he knew he was a goner. He was so full of warm milk and his bed was so dark and cozy. He fell asleep after spinning around in circles and fluffing his bed way too many times. Only waking a couple hours later due to the eerie feeling of someone staring at him. He opened his eyes and saw a red reptilian eye peeking at him through the opening of his den. 
He let out a scream like bark diving into the furthest end of his cave. Something inside of him was telling him to hide because there was a large predator out there. Logically he knows it's just Spinner, the villain with a heteromorphic quirk, but his instincts were telling him he was going to be eaten. 
The villain loudly exclaiming, “Oh shit!” and flinching backwards in response to him didn’t help either. 
“Sorry little buddy I didn't mean to spook you!” The gecko man slowly sank down on his knees patting them and cooing. “Come on, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.” 
Izuku hesitantly walked out of his home. The faster he eats his meal, the faster the new villain will leave. 
“Good job little guy.” The gecko villain held his arm outstretched leaving his palm open towards him waiting. Izuku guesses he wants him to sniff it before he lets him pet him. That’s what a normal dog would do so he does it. He bumps his nose into his palm and allows the man to pet him. 
He does so for a while before switching his hoodie on backwards and slipping Izuku into the hood. He walked towards the desk where Shigaraki kept his supplies and rummaged through the drawers until he found his formula and a clean bottle. 
“Alright let's get you fed. Shiggy said you needed four ounces of water per one scoop of dry milk powder.” Spinner said as he measured out the formula and water, carefully shaking the bottle and testing if it was the right temperature. The man made the bottle with a familiar sort of ease, Izuku wonders if he had any siblings before he decided to become a villain. 
He’s fed once again then put back into his bed. The man excused himself to go to ‘work’ whatever that means. He refuses to use the ‘potty’ despite how much his bladder is starting to ache and goes back to sleep. 
He wakes up to a concerned Shigaraki. The man takes him out of his bed and places him back onto the pads encouraging him to use them. Izuku refuses; he shuts his eyes and ignores him. He refuses to let go of his dignity. He is not an animal and he will not act like one.
He lasts three days refusing to use the puppy pads. After he overheard Tomura mention taking him to the vet to Spinner, he caved, bearing the humiliation of having to go to the bathroom like a dog. Seeing Shigaraki visibly sigh in relief when he saw the soiled pads was going to haunt him for the rest of his life. He's trying his best to stay sane but he is beginning to go crazy. Each day feels more degrading and dehumanizing than the next and he wants nothing more than to go home. 
===
He meets the rest of the League a few days later because apparently Tomura thought he needed to be socialized to the rest of the villains after hearing how badly he reacted to Spinner.
He’s brought out to the living area and set down in the middle of the room. For a minute he is just stared at incredulously by the group of lounging villains. Before Toga breaks the silence squealing,
“Hi soup!” The girl made a dash for him, picking up Izuku before he could even try to run away. 
“That's not his name, idiot!” Shigaraki growled. 
“So it's a boy? No, it's a girl!” Twice asked, petting the puppy in Toga’s lap.
“What is his name then?” Spinner asked. 
“…”
“He doesn't have a name yet does he?” Dabi snarks from the kitchen nearby. 
“Of course he does!” He really doesn't. Tomura’s just been calling him puppy this whole time. 
“Oh yeah, what is it then?” Dabi taunts walking in with a steaming cup of coffee.
“Uhhh…it's Sprout!” Tomura shouts. ‘Well that's news to me’ Izuku huffs. He was hoping Shigaraki would get bored of him and not bother to ‘name’ him. His mother always told him ‘Don’t name things you're not planning to get attached to, it will just be harder to let go when the time comes.’ He hopes that won’t be true for the villain because Izuku is leaving him whether he likes it or not.
“Sprout?” The group collectively tilted their heads.
“Yeah because he may be nothing but a tiny bud now but eventually he’ll sprout into a ferocious beast that will tear you apart on my command!” Yeah no. No Izuku absolutely will not.
“Sure boss…” Dabi said in a tone that sounded like he didn't quite believe him. 
“He has a very strange coat coloration. I've never seen a dog such a fascinating shade of emerald before. Are you sure he’s not a quirked animal?” Mr.Compress asked, gently taking Izuku from Himiko, holding him from his armpits and staring at him. 
“Not sure, I found him in an alleyway dumped in the trash on the way back from a meeting with Giran.” Huh so that's what he was doing when he found Izuku. 
Dabi raised a brow, “A street dog huh.”
“He’s just like us! Abandoned and unwanted before joining the League.” Toga grinned up at the white haired villain.
“Yeah…yeah he really is. Welcome to the League of Villain Sprout.” Shigaraki cooed so softly he doubted the others could hear it. Izuku didn’t know what to do with the soft smile being directed straight at him. It was so genuine and filled with warmth, Izuku felt bad being the one on the receiving end, knowing he’s not actually a puppy and didn’t intend on becoming Shigaraki’s new pet. He’s distracted from his guilty thoughts when Kurogiri walks in, his yellow eyes widening in shock as he stares at Izuku before narrowing at the white haired villain.
“TOMURA SHIGARAKI! WHAT IS THAT!” 
“Oh shit-” Seeing Shigaraki try to run away only to be instantly portaled back into the room by Kurogiri was hysterical. The other villains sent him amused glances and taunts that Papagiri was going to get him which only makes Tomura try to get away faster. Seeing the villain look like a kicked puppy as his caregiver scolded him for bringing a dog home without permission while pouting back that ‘he was the supreme leader now and could do whatever he wanted’, only to whine when the mist villain threatened to take away his video games, was so surreal. 
Seeing the softer sides of villains, he would have never been able to see as a hero was odd. They were just so human, they liked to bicker and play, had hobbies and interests, they behaved nothing like they did on the battlefield. Living with the villains so far has been strange and he had a feeling things were only going to get stranger.
===
Over the weeks he’s spent with the man he’s learned quite a few things. Shigaraki is no longer the tantruming man child he had been at the USJ or edgy, immature, teen-like villain he had been at the mall. He’s much more mature in a sense, he no longer loses his temper at the drop of a hat or seems quite so irrational. From the bits and pieces of stories he’s overheard from the other villains, the man is a terrifyingly efficient leader now. 
Though he still has some flaws like despite being the leader of an army and being surrounded by hundreds of followers. Tomura was so very alone. There was a clear boundary between him and the League that neither party wanted to cross. Maybe it has to do with quirk or his position of power over them Izuku doesn’t know. 
 The man had horrible mental health issues and insomnia. Some days the only reason he would get up at all was to feed him. He barely slept and anytime he was able to get some sleep, he would be awoken by nightmares and often cry until it was time to start the day. Izuku can't just ignore someone crying for help, so he often starts whining next to the bed begging to be picked up. It’s only when he’s cuddled up next to Shigaraki that the man is able to sleep peacefully. Izuku got so used to doing it that Shigaraki ordered him a little ramp so he can get on the bed all by himself. 
Despite everything Tomura was kind and gentle in private. He played animal crossing and made cute little areas for his villagers to play and got genuinely upset when one asked to leave. He said things like ‘big stretch’ when Izuku would stretch out his little limbs after his naps. He got so excited whenever Sprout would ‘learn’ a new trick for him, smiling so proudly down at him it made his head feel all fluffy and warm. Listen, Izuku didn't want to play or follow the man's orders but whenever he did, it helped push away the man's perpetual cloud of sadness. Being ‘Sprout’ helps him relieve his sorrow and stress and allows him to be happy even if just for a moment. 
Shigaraki speaks to him alot. Izuku often wonders if he knows he can understand him or if he had a pet in the past he treated the same way. Or maybe he just wants someone to talk to that won’t judge him. He can understand being lonely with no one to turn to. He learns that the man was left abandoned on the street as a child and that is why he took him in. Shigaraki hadn’t finished that line of thought but Izuku can only assume it was All for One who found him.
Izuku felt a deep pity for the man. Who knew what he could have been if AFO had not found him and groomed him into villainy. Would he be happy and carefree? Maybe even a hero? He could have been anything if not for that monster. The point is he wants to help him! He can’t change the past but if being ‘Sprout’ for a little bit helps, then so be it. 
The only problem is the longer he stays in this form the more instinctual his behavior becomes. The other day he growled and snapped at Toga for aiming her knife at Tomura. Izuku hadn’t even meant to but something inside him told him to protect his master and before he knew it he was sinking his teeth into the girl's hand. 
It was becoming worrying, the thief said he had to be out of this form in one month and if Izuku’s calculations are correct it has been a little over four weeks since he arrived. He was becoming more like a real dog as time passed. He needed to get out of here. 
===
The next weeks turn into a vicious cycle of him failing to escape and falling deeper into his canine instincts. 
Izuku used to hate the feeling of being pet he thought it was degrading but now he practically throws himself into any hand willing to do it, especially Shigaraki’s. Same with being called a good boy at first it was embarrassing but now it was like an instant shot of dopamine to his brain. It made him all fluffy and happy and made his tail wag. 
He tried his best to leave while the man was away but always found himself too anxious to actually do anything. His instincts were telling him Shigaraki is the leader of his pack and being near him made Izuku feel safe and secure. The more days past, the more anxious he felt without the villain and the harder it was to run away. 
It didn’t help that he was starting to get attached to the rest of the League too. They are a part of Shigaraki’s pack so that makes them his pack too. Most of them are just broken young adults who were forced into this life. Their pasts are full of quirk discrimination, mental disorders and abuse. They didn’t ask for this, they didn’t choose this life.
I mean Toga, despite her bloodlust and penchant for stabbing, is just a kid. She still gets excited over puppies and stickers, pouts over having to finish paperwork, and cries out for parents who will never answer her when overwhelmed. She treats the league like they’re her own family. It makes him so sad to think what she could have gone through, that villains were the only ones who didn’t make her feel bad for a quirk she was born with. He wants to help them all but he can’t do it in this form. 
===
Exactly one month and three weeks since arriving at the League’s base, he finds his opening for escape. He’s spent his time carefully building up trust and bonding with Shigaraki; never once running from him and doing whatever he wants. Now the man allows him to roam around the upper level of the mansion as he pleases. He usually goes out to the living room to hangout or visits whichever League members have their doors open for him. Dabi and Toga usually have biscuits in their rooms; they're happy to feed him if he does a trick. 
His body has grown older, he has far more mobility than he did before and can eat solid food now. He thinks his body is around four months old now. He can run and jump and has much more energy, perfect to use for his plan.
Earlier in the day he had overheard Toga saying she was planning to set up a picnic in the garden, when he was playing with Dabi in the living room. The girl had rushed down with a big wicker basket and announced to the League they were going to eat lunch outside. Most of them groaned a bit but indulged her in the end, promising to meet her outside when it's ready. The girl had squealed and rushed into the kitchen to begin preparing the food with Kurogiri. 
When they finished preparing the food Toga had set the basket onto the floor while she went to gather a blanket for them to sit on and other supplies. He snuck away from the eyes of the League and made his way to the large basket. It took him three tries but eventually his jump was successful and he tumbled down into the basket landing on a sandwich. 
His heart raced when he heard someone ask, “Where’s Sprout?”
“He probably followed Toga to her room for treats.” Dabi answered.
“Ugh I keep telling her to stop spoiling him so much, she’s going to make him fat.” Tomura complained.
“I wouldn’t know anything about that boss.” Dabi whistled.
Eventually the girl came back, grabbing the basket and snapping the flaps close then asked Kurogiri to warp her outside. “Come out in ten minutes, okay!” she said. Receiving dull okays in response except for Twice who answered back excitedly. 
Izuku shivers as he feels the girl walking through the portal. He feels the girl set down the basket with a thump and hears her begin to set up. Izuku only needs her to step away for a moment to make a run for it. The basket is moved again, Izuku shudders as one of the flaps creaks open letting in a ray of sunlight. He thinks he's about to be discovered when–Ring! Ring! the girl’s phone goes off. He hears the girl turn to answer her phone and the basket is closed shut.
“Hello? Oh, did I! Whoops, can you open up a portal so I can go get them? No, it's okay, I can do it!” He can only hear Toga's side of the conversation but from what he gathers he thinks she may have forgotten something for the picnic. This may be his chance if she leaves he can run.
His heart stops racing when he hears the whooshing of the portal opening and Toga’s steps fade away.
He waits a moment before peeking his head out. He sees it’s all clear and jumps out of the basket tumbling onto the grass. He doesn’t waste any time in running forward into the tree line. The forest floor was rough on his little paws. He could feel sticks and rocks digging into his feet but he kept running. He couldn’t stop no matter the pain, he had to keep going.
He’s been running for a while darting in and out of sight as he tries not to be caught. He doesn't know how far he’s gotten since from his height everything looks the same but he knows he’s made no progress in finding a road. He was beginning to get tired and everything in the forest looked similar. No matter how far he goes there was no change.
Eventually Izuku finds an empty burrow at the root of a large tree. He enters intending to only rest his legs for a moment but ends up falling asleep. When he awakes it’s dark outside, he can only  hear the hooting of owls and the chittering of critters outside the burrow. 
He debates going out and gaining more distance between him and the League. On one hand the smart thing would be to stay put and wait till sunrise to move. His body is small and won’t be able to fight off a predator if needed to. On the other hand the League most likely already knows he is missing and the more time he wastes, the bigger of a chance he’ll get recaptured. 
His time is running out, it's already been over a month he has to take this chance. Despite his better judgment he steps out of the burrow. His dog body has far better night vision and hearing than his human body so he should be okay as long as he stays out of sight.
He creeps on the forest floor slowly making his way through the darkness trying his best to keep his footsteps silent. He doesn’t notice the owl swooping down on him before it’s too late. He screams when long talons sink into his soft belly piercing through into him. He tries his best to fight back and wiggle out of the bird's claws and dislodge them but it only causes them to sink deeper.
He did his best to scream as loud as he could but he was bleeding so heavily and he was beginning to get tired. ‘Is this how I die? Poor All Might he should have never wasted his legacy on someone so useless…’ he thinks as the world begins to fade. 
The bird brings down its beak and bites a chunk out of his leg. He feels the muscles being ripped and torn out of him. His vision blacks, the last thing he hears are rapid footsteps and then water? He doesn’t know what it was but his whole body felt wet. Something was shaking him and screaming in his ear. He thinks it's a human?
“Sprout! Sprout! Sprout, wake up!” Izuku opens his bleary eyes and sees Shigaraki. The man had tears running down his face and looked so hurt. He was crying, screaming out, “Please god! Please don’t take him too! Haven’t you taken enough!” Izuku wishes he could help comfort him but he felt so tired, his body felt so cold, and he just wanted to rest. He’s spent his whole life fighting, maybe now it was time to rest…
“Tomura Shigaraki, I am deeply sorry, he is gone.” 
“No! Don't say that! He’s not dead–he c-can't be,” The villain sobs in agony, kneeling to rest the cold puppy onto the forest floor. He hangs his head over the body and whispers, “Everything I touch I destroy. I'm sorry it had to happen to you too. I loved you so much. I’m sorry,” Tomura presses a kiss onto the puppy's head. The moment his lips made contact with Izuku–Poof! A cloud of pink smoke exploded from Sprout's body. When the smoke cleared there lay the naked, bleeding, body of Izuku Midoriya. 
“I-i–what?” Shigaraki stared in shock. This boy, Izuku Midoriya, is Sprout. Sprout is Izuku Midoriya. They are one in the same. They have been the entire time. 
Upon closer inspection he noticed some irregularities. Nestled in his fluffy green hair were a pair of pointed ears and a tail sticking out of him. He never had those before, maybe this wasn't a planned infiltration. Maybe It had truly been an accident that caused they're paths to cross and intertwine in a way that will change the both of them forever.
Well it doesn't matter how it happened, Izuku is irrevocably his now and nothing can ever change that.
“He’s still breathing, take him to the Doctor now!” Tomura barks the order at the nomu who was standing in a sort of hesitant manner. 
“Tomura Shigaraki, I would advise against-”
“I don’t care! He’s still Sprout, my Sprout. He’s staying with us no matter what.” Shigaraki picks up the boy and walks through the portal. He sinks his face into the boy's curls and whispers, “Don't worry Sprout, I’ll make sure you get better. Everything will be okay, I promise.”

This has nothing do with the main page's agenda, but I need to make a distinction here for my own sanity. Yes, I will be using examples from mainly magical girl series.
No, it does not matter - but these two character types aren't the same, although on internet pages I see them grouped together.
Bifauxnen is a trope found in Japanese media where a girl, usually androgynous in appearance, is seen as elegant, charming, and is fawned over by many women in said universe (and even IRL by fans.) This trope's origins are rooted in series such as Rose of Versailles, where its titular character, Oscar François de Jarjeyes, is raised as a man, but is known to be female among many. Oscar herself took influences from the Takarazuka Revue performers, which I linked since the topic itself is fairly extensive. Please know the performers are all women as well, so do with that information what you will.

See? There's a clear difference.
They are usually lumped in with tomboys, which... isn't the same thing.
A tomboy, meanwhile, can look either feminine or masculine, but rarely is she androgynous to where telling their gender comes with difficulty. In many series, a tomboy still wears feminine clothing as well (ie schoolgirl uniforms, skirts, etc), which unless certain circumstances is moreso rare with the bifauxnen character archetype. I understand some of the confusion, as some similaritied can overlap. For example, tomboys and bifauxnen usually do not align straight with femininity, so using pronouns such as boku (僕) may be one. Both girls can also have short/long hair, be taller than average, and confuse the audience as to what exactly is going on thematically. However, it ignores that...
1.) The audience usually does not know at first that the character is, in fact, female. Several boxes may not tick for the viewers, such as higher voices, not wearing the girls' school uniform (in fact, some may wear a customized uniform or none at all. Even so, some do.)
2.) The bifauxnen in comparison appears to be older than their actual age.
3.) Bifauxnen characters take heavy inspiration from the Takarazuka Revue, whereas tomboys do not. Tomboys in anime can vary from just having short hair and not liking makeup, or a woman with more muscle mass, but it's no secret she's a woman.
So, I'm going to list some examples between the two below, as my post online via Twitter (the collage) shows up, but is blanked out. Sorry. 😅
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus - Sailor Moon S (1994)
Tumblr media
Itsuki Myoudouin/Cure Sunshine - Heartcatch Precure! (2009)
Tumblr media
Akira Tenjou/Cure Chocolat - Kira Kira Precure a la Mode (2017)
To help a bit more about how to tell the difference, and which characters are either tomboys or bifauxnen, here you go. I made small collages.
Tumblr media
The girls above are tomboys, who are all from magical girl anime ranging from 1983-2012.
Tumblr media
The girls here are bifauxnen, where at most I could use Utena, but most bifauxnen aren't in magical girl anime a lot as is. They pop up here and there, but not too often for me to make a collage. Maybe I'm forgetting some? I'm not entirely too sure.

My attempt at the 06/10/23 Mikoto Birthday TL
Is there really... Another me? ① The reason my clothes are tattered, that the others got scared of me? The whole reason I'm being called a murderer... I can't believe something like that. Can they even hear me, talking like this? If you can hear me, could you please respond. Why are you being so cruel. You're the reason I'm becoming like this.... Answer me! ....Aaaaaaa!! I did it for your sake....! ② Because you were going to be destroyed!! ③ --What was I just doing, I was.... I was... I... ④ I guess I'm not going to get a convenient answer like that. It'd be better if I stopped thinking about all this... I'm beat....
[Some explanations under the cut]
① Mikoto uses 'boku' to describe himself in all instances except the third paragraph
② The exact phrasing is 'Ore wa boku no tame ni', to break this down, this is Orekoto saying he did what he did for Bokukoto (Japanese pronouns are flexible and in lieu of someone's name, their pronoun can be used in its place if its clear in context - IE someone being the only ore user in a group of watashi and bokus) Haruka also uses the 'tame ni' when he talks about wanting to help Muu
③ The phrase Orekoto used here is 僕が、壊れてしまうから!!'because boku was going to be destroyed' With destroyed being in the incidental tense this is a tense you use when something happens actively but without intention Like, "I drank your coffee" (without realising what I had done until it was too late) Mikoto also uses this tense to describe the other prisoners becoming scared of him, and Yamanaka uses it to describe how (after being cursed) Narcissus fell in love with his reflection This may be me reading too much into a line, but to me it sounds sort of like "Boku is tied to the train tracks will be killed unless Orekoto pulls the lever, actively choosing to kill someone else" This is partially speculation though
④ The line is ーー何やってんだ、僕は……。"[I was] doing what, I...." I reworded a little to sound better in English and emphasise the disorientation but technically in canon Mikoto didn't repeat himself here so don't use that in your theories, it was simply writer's taste preferences

忘れてください - wasurete kudasai - forget it -> ヨルシカ - yorushika || english + romaji
song: 忘れてください - wasurete kudasai artist: ヨルシカ - yorushika year released: 2024
the title translates literally to 'please forget (it)'. i felt like translating it directly felt a bit awkward in the song sometimes (might just be me) so i tried to change things around a little.
using 'but from me' was meant to replicate how 'boku ni' sounds.
——–
english lyrics:
but from me for your heart, I'll leave you a bouqet so won't you let your hair, continue to drift in the air
a small house fit inside of a box the kitchen where we both once stood just outside the window you’d see a garden of memories a little ray of spring sun went a long way as we watered it a bit everyday somehow from that loquat grew but please let it fade
but from me, but from me, but from me but from me for your heart, i’ll leave you a bouqet so won’t you let your hair, continue to drift in the air but from me words i’ve said, along the humming you left i cry i cry, leave it behind, an endless labyrinth
little by little won’t you try, to tell me of the things in your life through twist and turns you’d still want to love, don’t say it was all a lie
and as for the coast, we both saw hand in hand a five minute walk from the station an ocean of jade please forget the waves
but from me, but from me, but from me but from me but from me but from me
but from me for your heart, i’ll leave you a bouqet so won’t you let your hair, continue to drift in the air but from me words i’ve said, along the humming you left i cry i cry, leave it behind, an endless labyrinth.
a small house fit inside of a box the curtains fluttering as morning calls i move them aside on this quiet day and you who woke with a yawn sleepily, you crawled to take a seat before the table where there lay my heart on full display cause of you please, let me go.
romaji lyrics:
boku ni kokoro wo, kimi ni hanataba wo yureru kami dake nabiku mama ni shite
hako no naka no chiisai ie no futari de naranda kicchin no komado no kaaten no saki no omoide no niwa ni haru no hizashi wo hitotsu umete tama ni wa sukoshi no mizu wo yatte chissana biwa ga natta toki wasurete kudasai
boku ni, boku ni, boku ni boku ni kokoro wo, kimi ni hanataba wo yureru kami dake nabiku mama ni shite boku ni kotoba wo kimi no hanauta wo nagai nagai meiro no saki ni oite
hitotsu hitotsu oshiete mite anata jishin no jinsei no anata ga aishitai mono wo nani mo nai no kai?
umi no soba no chiisai eki wo aruite gofun no kaigan no boku to mita hisui no iro mo wasurete kudasai
boku ni boku ni boku ni boku ni boku ni boku ni
boku ni kokoro wo, kimi ni hanataba wo yureru kami dake nabiku mama ni shite boku ni kotoba wo kimi no hanauta wo nagai nagai meiro no saki ni oite
hako no naka no chiisai ie no asa no hi ni yureru kaaten wo aketa shizuka na kyuujitsu no neoki no kimi ga neboke manako de suwatta sono asa no dainingu teiburu ni boku no kokoro ga atta koto wasurete kudasai

サンタクロースビジネス- Santa Claus Business
アドベント・カレンダーのドアー
二十四回 叩いて
Adobento carendaa no doa
Niijyu yonkai tataite
Knocking on the advent calendar door twenty-four times,
ベッドで寝ぼけまなこのパパ
おはようのキスをして
Beddo de neboke manako no papa
Ohayou no kisu o shite
My sleepyhead daddy in bed gets a good-morning kiss
オーナメントで飾りつけた
ツリーのライトともして
Oonamento de kazari tsuketa
Tsuri no raito tomoshite
I put up the ornaments, and the tree lights too
キッチンでママのお手伝い
そんなあたしに 声かけるの
Kiichin de mama no otetsudai
Sonna atashi ni koe kakeru no
I lend a hand to mommy in the kitchen, 
But even then you tell me;
パパの仕事はサンタクロース
今日はプレゼント 届けなくちゃ
Papa no shigoto wa santa kuroosu
Kyo wa purezento todokenakucha
“Daddy’s job is Santa Claus
Today I’ve gotta deliver presents”
秘密だよってパパ 言うけど
みんな信じてくれないよ
Himitsu da yo tte papa iiu kedo
Minna shinjite kurenai yo
Daddy said it’s a secret, 
But nobody would believe me anyways
うちでは普通のパパだもん
いつも疲れてるパパだもん
Uchi dewa futsu no papa damon
Itsumo tsukareteru papa damon
‘Cus at home, he’s my plain-old daddy
‘Cus he’s my daddy who’s always tired
だけどほんとはサンタクロース
Dakedo honto wa santa kuroosu
But, he’s really Santa Claus
きよしこの夜こそは
Kyoshi kono yoru koso wa
Even on this Silent Night
ステージに立たなきゃ
Suteeji ni tatanakya
He’s got to stand on stage
今夜は嬉しい人にも
悲しい悲しい人にも
Konya wa ureshii hito ni mo
Kanashii kanashii hito ni mo
Tonight, for all the happy people,
And for all the sad, sad people
おんなじ雪が降るから
Onaji yuki ga furu kara
The same snow will come down, so*
今夜が楽しい人にも
寂しい寂しい人にも
Konya ga tanoshii hito ni mo
Sabishii sabishii hito ni mo
Tonight, to all the people having fun,
And to all the lonely, lonely people
言うよ 君にも
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Iiu yo kimi ni mo
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
I’ll wish you too a Merry Merry Merry Christmas
おかしいよって君は言うけど
おかしなパパを許して
Okashiiyo tte kimi wa iiu kedo
Okashi na papa o yurushite
You tell me I’m weird, but please forgive your weird daddy
トナカイの楽器隊と
フロアにリボンかけるから
Tonakai no gakkitai to
Furoa ni ribbon kaketeru kara
Because with a backing band of reindeer, 
I’ll wrap up the venue floor in ribbons
僕の仕事はサンタクロース
Boku no shigoto wa santa kuroosu
My job is Santa Claus
きよしこの夜なのに
君を一番に できない
Kyoshi kono yoru nanoni
Kimi o ichiban ni dekinai
Even though it’s a Silent Night
I can’t put you first
"ごめんね"
Gomenne
“I’m sorry”
幸せそうな あの人も
見えない孤独かかえてる
Shiawase sou na ano hito mo 
Mienai kodoku kakaeteru
Even that person who seems happy 
Carries a loneliness you can’t see
だから 歌うよ
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Dakara utauyo
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
That’s why I’m singing, Merry Merry Merry Christmas
今夜は嬉しい人にも
悲しい悲しい人にも
Konya wa ureshii hito ni mo
Kanashii kanashii hito ni mo
Tonight, for all the happy people,
And for all the sad, sad people
おんなじ歌が降るから
Onaji uta ga furu kara
The same song will come on, so*
今夜は笑顔の人にも
泣いてる泣いてる人にも
Konya wa egao no hito ni mo
Naiteru naiteru hito ni mo
Tonight, to all the smiling people,
And to all the crying, crying people
言うよ 君にも
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Iiu yo kimi ni mo
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
I’ll wish you too a Merry Merry Merry Christmas
あなたに
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Anata ni
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
I wish you a Merry Merry Merry Christmas
TRANSLATION NOTES
* the furu/降る in both these parts is usually used to describe precipitation falling, ie snow, so in chorus B it’s more.. poetic? symbolic? idk it’s nice<3 i tried to translate it in a way where the lines still have connection while sounding respectively natural
merry crisis!!!/メリー苦リスマス!!!
i used to be a christmas hater but now, because of this song, i can cope with it. btw the true meaning of christmas is not capitalistic gift giving, or jesus, or any of that, it’s how cute santa papa temma is. amen🙏

HazyVignette ❧ by Gost
Multimuse ◦ Selective-ish ◦ OC-Oriented An RP/OC Blog...?
[ Info: Updated 17 Dec 2023 ] [ Muselist ]
Note: I forgot about the RP Dashboard situation and made this a sideblog. Figuring out how to manage this. May not follow back for the time being. Feel free to DM me and/or ask for my Discord.
Blog Info
This blog mainly pertains to an original setting called Otherworlds, but is crossover friendly. I love to make AU derivatives of OCs, especially for RP.
Muselist is limited currently (and very bare-bones), but will be added to. You can always ask for more information.
On selectiveness: I may turn down characters if I feel I would struggle to write with them, but I do NOT turn anyone down on the basis of formalized grammar or English proficiency. As long as the content of your writing is strong, I am happy to RP with you! ESL and low speech roleplayers are welcome ❣
This blog does not contain sexually explicit content, but due to the themes explored in aspects of my writing I would advise caution for minors. I will probably not RP with you if you are under 15, but you are welcome to send asks or interact with my art etc.
If you are interested in writing with me, please DM me!
About Me [Gost] They/Them unless you know me. White, TME, adult. Interdisciplinary artist and creator. Disabled.
DNI: Political conservatives, transphobes, transandrophobia truthers, transmedicalists, zionists, if you consider Black Americans complicit in colonialism. Non-indigenous people who create or write characters based upon culturally specific entities such as wndigoag. I will block and report anyone who creates or circulates CSAM, including written or illustrated.
Content Blacklist: For the love of god please tag cannibalism please please
Source Blacklist: Danganronpa, Made in Abyss, Catherine, Hazbin Hotel/Heluva Boss/Zoophobia, Goblin Slayer, South Park, Until Dawn, CountryHumans, Axis Powers Hetalia, Shingeki no Kyojin, Friday Night Funkin', RPF.
I am likely to turn down characters from popular shounen IE Boku no Hero Academia but this is on a case by case basis.
