#cant wait to see what shitstorm this kicks up

[bluefiredrakka]

to the Anon that sent me my first anon ask which I mostly skimmed and then accidentally deleted cus sleepy fingies are stoopid and I barely remember most of what it said, in the off chance you actually read this. sorry I guess, its winter here and my brain shuts off early in the cold.

I’d Like to first point out that Intelligent systems is a Japanese company stationed in Japan, and their whole stick with current sexuality stances is somewhat...behind to put it gently, they aren’t Bioware which is as western as a company you can get, and the be all end all of game companies is at their core a bunch of dudes making a product to make money, good business dictates you send that shiz to as much people to get as much money as possible, which means catering to majorities cus theres...well more of them.

thats why they slap rainbows on everything during june, its a marketing ploy. like how everything gets Chismafied in December; tis dat season to milk people for cash.

also Japanese media likes to keep bullshit like current politics and other social issues out of their entertainment stuff since they like to maintain routes for peoples escapism, thats why Marvel is going tits up and the top contenders for comic sales globally are all mangas. which I very much appreciate.

second of all I have no issue with people shipping same sex ships, its their choice and they can ship what they want. personally It just dosen’t appeal to me and my dumb ADHD Brain has difficulty following whos who if both of them are referred to as He and She, just not my cup of tea mate, and I don't even drink tea. what Im trying to say is despite what people seem to think; you have full control over what media you decide to consume, you dont have to like everything.

what I DO have an Issue with is people dominating an already segmented fandom space and harassing people who prefer a different version of said ship Like Edeleth for example. and then having the GALL to be offended when someone politely asks them to knock that off because its rude. like really find me -and since Im feeling somewhat sadistic- 10 different pieces of Male-Byleth X Edelgard fanart on here and you have a chance of changing my mind on that.

I rode out the Chrobin ship Discourse my guy, Edeleth is sorely behind in the “they’re both Valid” department also  disliking something about someone that they cant control and disliking someone for their Bad Behavior which they have absolute control over are two different things.

Day - Valentine’s, Night - Off

Briar + Qrow Branwen ( @dustyqrowofmisfortune )

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Briar squints confused golden eyes, leaning in and staring up, hands on her hips, “Qrow, I KNOW you are not trying to confess something serious to me in the middle of the street in the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's Day.”

He leans back for a moment when she gets in his space, then puts his hands in his pockets and recoils a bit, “Fine, you're right. It's fucking dumb anyway.”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“It's a day for spreading L O V E! I don't care what kind! Where is everyone?” Time to get this city in the mood. Briar kicks open Harmonzier and sets up right in the street.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Qrow takes up a seat on a wall nearby. “You're having way too much fun with this Big Bad,” he laughs.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“If I want other people to have fun, I have to be twice the example!”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“Does it always have to be overboard or nothing with you?”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“What other way is there to live, baby?”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He hops down off the wall and strides over to her, “You're gonna burn out if you're not careful...” was that genuine concern in his voice?

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“Awww, Qrow, you care? I'm touched. Don't worry,” she boops his nose. “I hit the beat hard but I know it means nothing without rest notes. All in good time, hmm?”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“So what if I do?” He shrugs and wiggles his nose from the boop.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“So what? Mmm... nope! Not my job to do that soul searching for you. Figure it out, then let me know.”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

A frustration fueled sigh... since he was actually trying to tell her he did, “Jeez Briar... I'm trying to tell ya I do...”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

She cants her head, “I know. I just sai... ohhhhh you want me to say I care in return, huh? Has that not been clear?” Her tail droops.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He shakes his head, “No, I know... that wasn't what I was getting at.” A hand runs through his hair.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

She squints confused golden eyes, leaning in and staring up, hands on her hips, “Qrow, I KNOW you are not trying to confess something more serious to me in the middle of the street in the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's Day.”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He leans back for a moment when she gets in his space, then puts his hands in his pockets and recoils a bit, “Fine, you're right. It's fucking dumb anyway.”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Her eyes open, then even wider, not put off at all by his dourness, only taking it as confirmation, “Oh my gods you are, aren't you?”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“Look, I'm no good at this shit okay? But why do you think I let ya hang around with my cursed ass all this time? Damn it Briar...” he sighs.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

She takes a deep breath and tries to keep her tail from fluffing “No good? Let me? Cursed?? Brothers there is so much to unpack here. Who are you and what have you done with Qrow Branwen, and...” 

Her face suddenly changes, lights up, “Are you free tomorrow? You know, when it's not one of my biggest love-spreading, harmony-promoting, money-making days??”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He reaches for his flask. She's right. This isn't him but... “Forget it... you know where to find me, you always do.”

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

And just as quickly the light dies, “No date, then? Not even staying for the show?” her eyes find and linger on the flask, not upset just... sad, “It seems we both have our own priorities, then. Yeah, I'll be around." 

Still no closer than the periphery, apparently.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

And yet again his self depreciating personality makes a shit show of things. Seeing the look though, he puts the flask away "That's not what I meant and you know it. And I didn't say anything about leaving did I?" why did this have to be so damn hard? "Unless ya want me to..."

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

“No! No I don't know it! Quit being so obtuse! It doesn't have to be hard!” Briar doesn't know Qrow’s thoughts, but hard is exactly what he's making it. 

“Say what you mean and do whatever what you want. I've told you before I don't deal in half-hearted. Overboard or nothing, you said it yourself!” 

Why does he always make her so angry when all she wants to do is care?

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Anger rises in red eyes, not at her, but because she's right. She passes him off just as much as he does her... she pushes him. 

"I can't be anything but me Briar," a huff, fists clench, "I'm not being half-hearted, I just don't know how to deal with this shit... with people being close to me. You say do what I want... fine." 

Fists unfold and he grabs her and just kisses her... messy but real

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

She should have known, should have smelled the shift, but didn't over the sense of her beating heart. Now here she is, Briar Rieka - superficially tangled all the way around the city with no one but herself at her center, yet being kissed by a world renowned huntsman in the middle of the street in the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. 

The day when she's supposed to spread love to the masses and go home alone, just like always, and so when she said overboard or nothing she expected nothing, and so squeaks and whimpers since Qrow left no more room for words.

Her tail shoots straight, and her eyes shoot open, until he keeps going, sloppily satisfying, and she relaxes, then throws herself into it - helplessly, recklessly, wholly; the bitter indulgence of whiskey and honesty on lips finer than any artificial sweetness from chocolate covered strawberries.

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Expectations... people should know better than to have them around him, especially her.  For a moment he had toyed with the nothing option but he couldn't,  no wouldn't,  walk away again.  

Qrow Branwen, Mr. Drunk Loser Hall of Fame inductee, Mr. Always Works Alone... didn't want that anymore. She GOT him, didn't give an inch but still gave him space. She could withstand his shitstorms... both inside and out. 

He could feel her surprise... feel her melt into it. In the middle of the afternoon, on some random street, on this dopes holiday... it was exactly the right time for this. It was HIM time to do this. 

Freaked as he was, he could taste her sweet, wild freedom and it was infectious... and also breathtaking. So much so, when he finally comes out of that blissful fog, his breathing quick, face bright red as his eyes as they focus on her...  "Briar... I..."

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He grows, and she can feel it. 

Feel it in the way he kisses her like she's never been kissed before.  Rough lips with gentle affection, deeper and yet softer than those who would slam her against a nightclub wall or dive into any old warm body in lust and desperation. It is expression, feeling, he is finally allowing himself to feel, enough to flush his face with heat that spills over for hers to match, and it is delicious to her whole body. 

 He has done it - managed to leave the speeding, howling she-wolf stalled out and speechless, nothing but the perpetual song in her heart to sound out as a hazy hum while she leans into his shoulder and gazes up with starry eyes, waiting to find out if there is more to that thought, "Hmmm?"

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Qrow feels like he's back at Beacon with the stupid school boy crush, but that's how he knows... knows this is persistent, real. He holds her there in the middle of the street not caring that the location sucks. 

It's so them. 

"That..." it's rare but the huntsman is oddly speechless. He thinks he should apologize for being a dick all this time but now doesn't feel right... He decides to just hold her tight. "So... still interested in that date?"

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Briar has done far worse in public, and if V-day isn't a time for PDA then when is?

She nuzzles in so deep she almost forgets about Harmonizer, and certainly forgets about everything that never needed an apology. Qrow can only be himself, as he said, and she has never held that against him, only held her own against anything that pushed too hard on her own standards. 

Besides, it's not like she isn't, well, literally a bitch to deal with too. He wraps his arms fearlessly around her thorns, somehow ensnaring her instead. Well, if he can put the flask away then she can let a little go too... 

"Yeah." she says dreamily, "Suddenly I feel too old to be working every holiday. ...Think I'll take that rest beat and save going hard for something else~"

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

He can't help the smirk and light snicker that goes with her words. If she expected that little allusion to go unnoticed she was sorely mistaken. Not that the thought didn't have his face warming just a bit though. It's actually a little odd seeing her this way... dreamy and soft maybe? It makes him uncomfortable but in the best way. It was only because he was more used to her more no bullshit, tough love-esque typical demeanor. 

That's all it was... yeah. 

"Shut it Big Bad, you're not old, but yeah... take the night off. Just... just you and and me, you pick where. And..." breaking away for a moment, reaching into his shirt, he pulls the flask out and hands it to her, "You keep track of this so I'm not tempted to make an ass of myself when I inevitable manage to fuck something up tonight."

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Both, always both. Qrow, willing enough to concede some sticking points of Briar's briars may see the sweeping sweetness of the softest tail in Remnant.

...But even a kiss like that still isn't enough to make him drop the nickname. (...Is he still afraid?) Her eyes drop to the ground as she processes and ponders, and thinks about her answer, but they pull back up to the movement and sloshing sound of the flask. 

She takes it in nimble fingers, turns it over and recognizes once more his very emblem, very self, on the object. Her first thought is to pour the whole thing out. Dramatic, showy. Wouldn't even be a waste of the good stuff - it's not. 

But no, she glances up at him, with bittersweet understanding. This is not a spilling dry and starting over kind of statement. It's taking the night off, and it is trust. It is not Briar forcing her hand or will over Qrow's vices, but temptation remaining present so she might stand between Qrow and it, become a part of his own decision. 

"Alright." she says quietly, tucking it deep into a leather jacket pocket; then, with more verve and a raised brow "But I wouldn't expect much else from you anyway. But hey...  fucking it up is also a term used for having fun you know!"

She-wolf nuzzles into Qrow's neck, still soaking up the closeness, still sharing her warmth, "I go out with so many people... always a crowd. Always worried about thinning out my semblance... If I can pick where..." her hands curl into his shirt, less flirtatious, more desperate, starved, "can't we just stay in somewhere? I would pick..." gold gaze stays trained on him, pleading. 

"I want to be alone with you, Qrow"

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

That was the thing, nicknames, persisting ones, were for people close to him, people he gave a shit about. The one given her was likely never something he'd give up, not unless she explicitly told him to. It was a term of endearment really. Given names were formalities and formalities were the last thing he wanted, especially with her. 

 As for the flask, she wasn't wrong. He wasn't ready to give it up entirely, not yet. Someday maybe... but he trusted her to keep the demons at bay, at least for the night. This was about them at last being honest with each other, him being honest with her more so than anything, or maybe himself. He sees where she puts his crutch though, knows where it is. Close but not readily at his command. He's relinquished control and that itself speaks volumes and by the way she's responding, it feels like there's a measure of that going on between them both.

Things could get interesting quickly and there's a certain thrill and anxiety that lurks in him for it, "Stay in... alone... just fucking up in each other's company huh?" There's a bit of a laugh as he accepts that desperate feeling cling to his shirt. 

"Well, unless you're up for some no name inn or hotel, it would have to be your place. We both know I can't keep a place of my own to save my life."

❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦

Briar's tail flicks and her lip quirks at his quip. There's a sense of satisfaction that settles in her bones along with the weight in her pocket that she's done something right. He accepts so casually smooth with a laugh that's rough, and it balances all the shifts in her moods. So strangely opposite of his usual effect on her. 

"You're more than welcome in my home, but does that honestly mean you didn't even have something set up for yourself tonight? My you really are a drifter." And yet he smells so good mixed with the outside air, it makes sense, fits. She almost feels bad about asking to bringing him within four walls. But not bad enough to not still want some privacy. 

Her tail twitches again as she revels in the prospect, giving away her continued excited anticipation, “So be it.”

Guys im really losing my mind here

i dont feel grounded i feel SO WEIRD

i feel like the dream realm has been kicking my ass to get ready for ascension and even though i feel like im interpreting all the messages and doing good at releasing the lessons it makes me feel flustered

idk why

swipe up to npc grills to see me try to describe my dream from 2 yesterday. It was insane, i knew i was dreaming, it was so long, im pretty sure i was talking to a spirit guide. It also heavily involved Oliver but NOT in a good way bro lmao. And then when i woke up Oliver watched my snap story for the first time in soooo many months. Borderline a year. I'm flippin out??

Then today i have a dream where im back on the schtick of "saying goodbye to state college" and that era of my life. And i was putting up a fight in the dream,

also.....in real life i PROMISED myself that if im EVER distressed in an elevator situation, and im on a fucking cruise. I MUST drop whatever im doing. And jut fucking go to the top deck, prove that the water is mf real. Probably by myself

Now here i am last night dreaming that im on a cruise of some sort but also trying to get my stuff from my old whitecourse apt and priscilla is staying in my room and all this shit

and suddenly i was having a panic attack, running to different elevators which are all broken, trying to find my way back and i cant and im freaking out. In the elevator i was like.......wait is this a dream??? wake me up now!!! fully thinking im just being dramatic like i thought it was real life so bad what the actual fuck. And part of me was like, hey u promised yourself youd just drop everything and go to the top. And i was like "but this is real life this isnt a dream" maybe later, maybe after everythings settled.

that reoccuring concept really gets under my skin and im mad at myself for never realizing its happening. I get that its trying to say that i cant take everything from my past with me, and that ive got to be willing to go by myself into the unknown and i cant fight to go back to old ways even though it feels safe and comfortable and what i want at the time

i just feel jostled. To the point where i wanna text liam and be like hi, r u feeling this shitstorm in the 5D? its making it hard to focus

We Are All crying blood at this chapter

Anonymous said: Just read the new chapter and all I want to do is keysmash into your inbox. The chapter! Was so good! Izuku being sassy and angry and traumatized but still trying! And Eri! I'm so glad she's with Izuku now. Deku-niisan! I don't have words! And Rappa? Rappa! Also, that poem you linked is really neat. Grow up grow strong and focus your fury. Kind of feel like this is the theme for these two trauma children. Great work!

someone in the comments described izuku as “thoughtlessly kind” and i was VERY emotional over that because it’s such an excellent descriptor of the kind of person izuku is... he’s still trying, because that’s just who he is 

deku-niisan to the rescue :^) 

i’m really glad you enjoyed the chapter! thank you!

@zintiay submitted: Normally I get really annoyed when a character refuses to use an ability that would let them fairly easily deal with those around them. In this case though, you have done a really good job displaying why he doesn’t want to use this option, as well as what it takes for him to be willing to use it, that I mostly feel sad for deku that he was forced to let Eri’s spirit possess him, instead of getting caught up in the hype of an awesome moment

Honestly though, that’s also my reaction to the chapter as a whole. It was full of interesting world building and was generally an awesome chapter, but it was also well written enough that I also feel Izuku’s emotions and mostly just feel melancholy now.(Seriously, when I look back on it, “I invite you in” opened the gateway to an awesome and well deserved ass kicking, but it’s mostly just heart breaking. Why can’t I just enjoy Izuku kicking ass? Why?)

ahaha yeah, i try to have good reasons for why characters do or don’t take certain actions, and this whole fusion thing is something he keeps REALLY close to his chest... i’m glad that carried across well! it is very sad though that he feels cornered into using this ability. 

thanks for reading!

it’s because eri pings None of his danger senses and All of his “i have to do something about this” senses. izuku is constitutionally incapable of helping someone in need.

Anonymous said: What I expected in MSA ch.5: PAINPAINPAINPAINPAIN What I got: PAINPAINPAIN also Izuku adopts Eri, and Rappa for some reason (or did he adopt them!?!? DUNDUNDUN)

i cant publish a chapter without doing something a little fun, right? 

also im laughing at the idea of izuku adopting rappa, a fully grown man, as opposed to the other way around. izuku would hate this concept if anyone ever said it to him.

Anonymous said: so is msa iz/uku's tragic backstory basically being a walking disaster for all of his life until the point where he would have, in canon, met all might, and the msa version of the all might/one for all is the Temple and the subsequent ShitStorm™?

nope! the temple is something else

overhaul is easily hatable if you just extrapolate from his canon actions. cant wait for him to get fucking clowned

but when they ARE actually at the 8ps hq they just?? dont find her??????and everyone there is like "SHES ALREADY GONE YOU IMBECILES. YOU FOOLS." (2/2)

i really dont fuck around!! i hope!! i decide on a track and i stick to it!! as soon as i finished the first scene i knew that overhaul was going to Do That and i spent a few days agonizing over it and asking myself if i was really ready to go all the way with this. if i was really going to write it! i did write it. i am still occasionally in disbelief. 

yes. sibling relationship all the fuckin way 

Anonymous said: Is what happened at the temple the thing that made MSA Izuku give up on being a hero?

nah izuku giving up on being a hero is more just pessimism, cynicism, and paranoia trained into him by years and years of dealing with spirits and believing that he shouldn’t exist

Anonymous said: Angry msa!izu/ku: acts like an alley cat, threatens to break a villain's dishes, talks a lot of bullshit, also kind of sad and depressed. Angry™ msa!izu/ku: frightens the hell out of everyone just by looking at them, makes everyone question their life choices, makes them feel small and insignificant and makes fun of said life choices, not exactly human.

yeah. i love msa izuku and  his anger is Valid

this is a really great summary of that conversation

Anonymous said: Izuku's threat to throw all of M. Compress' dishes on the floor like that is the Worst thing you can do to someone made my entire day thank you

i’m really glad because this was the funniest threat i could think of besides “i’m going to break into your home and piss on your bed”

izuku’s one weakness... trying to help others

Anonymous said: iirc, guardian spirits are bound to their respective charges by proximity but can still move around, but do they have to be close by when the quirk is used? Or will the quirk not be as effective?

nah, they don’t need to be nearby, one cool effect of being bound to a human is that the human has a store of the guardian spirit’s energy 

Anonymous said: Thoughts on the game OFF? Played it recently and it gave me Msa!spirit world vibes. The use of man made substances making up the natural world (e.g drinking plastic not water) just really stuck with me as something bizarre and very second intonation like. Although if you do explore the spirit world I guess you might have something maybe more mythological in mind? (Also the soundtrack is stunningly eerie).

never played OFF but i love its aesthetic so much

Anonymous said: Hahahah holy shit that new chapter dialed things up to, like, 22 instead of 11 holy shit izuku oh no. (“Achievement Unlocked: 5+ Levels Of Trauma Added At Once!” msa!izuku: can I get a, uuuuhhhhhhh, refund?) skin creature is super creepy and perfect fit. Btw, side thought - however the heroes find out abt this whole mess, I bet they feel really guilty (shit, izuku puts foot in mouth and accidentally says smth. Kiri: horrified izuku: makes it worse by trying to leave topic) thx I Love it. V good!

once i committed i had to go all the way...

the ensuing conversations between izuku and the heroes are probably going to be kind of funny, and also a little sad. im looking forward to it. thank you for reading!

Anonymous said: Okay, I'm just catching up on the recent chapters of msa and this is what I've been getting so far Everyone: you have to understand- Msa izuku, restrained: no

correct. msa izuku refuses to accept your terms 

Anonymous said: Ahaha, geez, MSA chapter 5 was A M A Z I N G. Poor Izuku. Geez, the scene where he's tossed into his cell and just spends fifteen minutes crying and freaking out hurt so bad. And he remembered to (try and) call for help!!! Hopefully he tries again in the future, when it'll work (hopefully). I also got very excited by the Kirin!!! Like, holy smokes!!! Someone who actually doesn't want Izuku to suffer, and is willing to take steps to make that happen!! Yes good!! Plz timewalker protect this child

thanks carwash for being like the only friend izuku has

the relationship between izuku and the different spirits hanging around his house is probably going to be pretty fun. i know i’ve pulled a lot of bullshit in the past two chapters but i still have some new fuckery to introduce. i hope you are all excited for this

Anonymous said: would any other human be able to learn to speak in the second intonation in the msa au? Did msa deku learn the second intonation from someone, or is it just something he's always known?

1) good question! i haven’t decided yet. 2) he learned from someone else! who you will find out soon

Anonymous said: me: nobody has to get owned today. please, please put down the markers and step back msa izuku: Fuck oyu.

i totlaly forgot this was a thing but you know what? yeah. im laughing this is such a fitting quote

Anonymous said: you know by far one of the best aspects of msa izuku is just. He is a constant Power Move. and yet he would probs hate that. like this boy wants to be left alone and get some fuckin peace but in all his interactions whether he intends to or not he just fuckin busts a fuckin Move and its like holy shit holy fucking shit he did that.he did That. He doesnt want to do That he doesnt even realize its happening and thats why its a fuckin Power Move. Love this au i LOVE ur work and love ur storytelling

reminds me of @salvainterra‘s description of izuku: “izuku is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object and its through this paradoxical existence that hes reached the ultimate tier of not giving a fuck. good on him”

thats the secret behind it all!

Anonymous said: I love msa chapter five but I'm so worried about Izuku. He's a single teen parent of two now and he keeps missing school, how will he graduate and get in a position to follow his dreams of being alone and doing calligraphy if he misses so much of school that he doesn't get a diploma???

he will be ok! 

hey im really laughing at this because youre really including rappa as one of the people izuku adopted?? is this a thing now?? 

Anonymous said: (in msa) I am so glad you had Izuku save Eri omg. that poor child has been through enough (but also, omg the suffering you're putting Izuku through (it's great, keep going)). I'm super keen to see where you take this!!

i know im really putting izuku through the paces. while i was writing the first half of ch5 i kept telling myself that this was all for eri’s sake but MAN that was dark

thank you! im excited to pull some more bullshit. im glad you’ve been enjoying the story so far!

Anonymous said: Me reading the new msa chapter: ‘a family can be a Kirin, a girl who can disintegrate people, a supernatural teenager, a street brawler and perpetual sadness’ seriously tho it was really great and I loved it!!!

MFLNDLFKSDJF AND PERPETUAL SADNESS IM LOSING IT!!!

don’t forget the mysterious shadow spirit who may or may not be a cat 

i’m really glad you liked the chapter!!

Anonymous said: bc of allmights style i think of one for all's spirit just being a fucking american on the fourth of july with american flags everywhere and waving a minature flag threateningly and i cant stop thinking about it....

fortunately for us, that is incorrect
