How about Dad Might teaching Izuku how to tie a tie?

yesss!! I loved this suggestion so much that I drew some things and wrote a fic about it!

Here's the fic:

[dogwaterdish]

about that thing with all might not wanting his injury exposed--

its giving when ur in the dark and u cover ur feet with the blanket to keep the monster from getting them

anon you're so right 😭 it is in a similar vein of a false sense of security !

For the Wip Game: The one where he gets stabbed by a spike <3

It speaks of angst, and I require more info 🫵

ooh okay! heres a little snippet -- for reference, "he" is Midoriya:

"Just as quickly as he screamed, the sound died. His head lolled back, vision blurry. Faintly, over the horrid sound of his blood and organs splattering over the ground, over the ringing in his ears, he heard someone scream."

I haven't paid this one much attention recently, but it's still one of my favorite angst ideas I've had!

Get to know your fic writer! 6 and 16!

ooh okay!!

6 - I dont usually have my fics beta'd! If I have extra time before I want it posted or one of my friends asks, I'll drop the fic for them to check out and look over, but I havent had that done a lot recently. So, I would like to have it sometimes but ultimately it's not important to my fics!! the real beta reader is me when it's not 2am and I have to make sense of what I wrote

16 - Ohh shdgsjs theres so many!! one fic I'm really excited to write ALREADY HAS A TITLE !!! and it's called "Don't Slip"! the basic premise is midoriya's hurt and gets left at the dorms while the class goes on a training mission, and he's babysitting eri!! he's having trouble with one for all as well, so he can't use it well. then, they get attacked by villains and kidnapped D: I wont spoil what happens, but they're really going through it... I CANT WAIT TO WRITE IT!!! I've had it plotted out for awhile and I'm super duper excited to start

[dogwaterdish]

for the fic writer ask thing- 3, 4, 17, 18, 20, 21, 28, 32, 34, 40, and 74 :D SORRY THAT'S SO MANY i'm just really curious jshdjsf

3 - First, I usually spend a lot of time thinking about my writing. whether or not I've started it or not, I think over the overall plot, along with the part I'm writing at the moment. This isn't something I consciously do most of the time, my mind just wanders and I think about my WIPs.

When it comes to actual writing though, I'll typically write down my ideas in a notebook or in my writing organizer google doc. Sometimes I'll get really specific and other times it'll just be an overview of the whole idea, maybe with a song or two written down if I've thought of something that fits with a scene.

I try to sit at my desk when I write, so that it's the same area and I can get into a writing mood, and I've started using that sprint bot in some discord servers to have writing 'cycles', and it's been really helpful.

I dont always write in a linear way, and in early drafts it's common for me to add a line and start an entirely new scene of the fic below it - I mostly write when I get inspo, and sometimes the inspo isn't about the scene I'm writing currently. Sometimes I'll listen to something while I write, but recently I've been writing more at night / when it's quiet, so I've just been listening to the clacking of my keyboard.

For chapter fics, I don't start a chapter until I'm finished with the one before, unless: it's like TCoE where it shifts between two storylines (midoriya // all might & the class), or I'm writing a prologue or smthn. my chapter fics will usually have some sort of foreshadowing or little details someone could catch, and if I wrote them out of order that would be executed a lot more poorly. Along with that, I want the progression of my writing skills to be linear in the fic, so I write the chapters in order for that reason as well.

I like to make my ao3 draft almost immediately after I lock in an idea to write, but sometimes I'll try not to if I think it'll take longer to write!

I'll usually try not to take breaks when I get into the writing groove, which usually means I'm very focused and am writing a lot. I already said this but it usually happens when its night out, not sure why though!!

I dont know if all that is covered by writing process, but have that!

4 - Lots of it is music, other writing, or random thoughts (like visions) I have. music will typically give me an idea of a specific scene or sequence, then I build a fic around that; others writing (whether it's fanfics or other books) will give me more specific ideas or just general inspo, and I'll rework the idea I got from that so it'll be a separate piece; and random ideas can range from REALLY specific to REALLY general, and they just spawn from me thinking about mha, watching mha, or literally just existing.

17 - I usually watch or read something (a lot of the time it's mha), go outside, or sleep. For me, those are usually "resets" that can help me get back to a normal vibe about writing, but when its long term things get more difficult. I'll try to tackle any mental blocks I might have, like if I'm feeling insecure about my writing, or I'm holding myself to a too high standard. If I can find the root of the issue, my problem is basically solved, since I've gotten some good strats to deal with writers block. If I'm at too high of a standard, I'll either read other fanfics to compare my writing to and remind myself that this is just for fun, and/or I'll turn the doc into comic sans font and just write dumb shit that I can go back and edit into smart shit. If none of that works and I just dont want to write, I'll usually just take a break and die

18 - I title my fics whenever I get the divine gift of a good title. for the rest of the time, I'll have the title be something dumb, a synopsis of the plot, or just a keyboard smash. Sometimes I'll go the synopsis route for a real title, I also like to pull out a funny one sometimes (like math always leads to tears, or free tour of all mights agency 101), sometimes it's like a dialogue thing, and finally I'll also just pull out a couple words that relate to the fic (like untethered and chilled breeze).

TL;DR: My titling is all over the place, and I have no specific way I do things

20 - Yes I have!! sometimes it'll fuck me up, because I'll be writing multiple wips at once, and I'll think I've used a phrase or word sooo many times, but I've only used it like twice per doc. I like to use sparkly or fun action verbs, and tend to go into lots of description at times. my biggest repeating trope thing is hurt/comfort and found family (hi dadmight!!), and I personally feel like I put a LOT of cliffhangers into my writing... along with that, I often use the weather or sky to show some feeling, and I rely on it Heavily for mood in some fics!!

21 - YES !!! I would love to do a collab! I'm not super sure how it'd work, but I would love to find out :D

28 - man I'd have to say like ... 500ish words a day?? roughly? when I write?? I try to write every day, but I don't always do that, and a lot of stuff happens in bigger bursts, like how I wrote a 3.2k word fic in 14 hours yesterday. it really changes but if I had to guess I'd say around 500 words a day...?

32 - I really like @savetheirhearts-midoriya (aka: danideservedbetter on ao3), @createandconstruct , and for third I'm tied between @way2gowillow and @princelyre :]

34 - I'm hoping that I'll have started writing an actual story I want to publish, and I'm also hoping to have completed a few other mha series fics as well ;) ... giving y'all a bit of an idea of things I have planned after TCoE

40 - honestly I would probably cry if someone made art for ANY of my fics, but for specific ones, I'd really appreciate anything from TCoE , and either of my cozytober fics (please dont let go & amidst the rains) !!! but seriously though any of my fics getting art would make me scream and cry and throw up in a good way

74 - I have actually orphaned a fanfic SO DONT USE THIS TO FIND IT (jokinggg) but:

74a. description of the scene, usually pertaining to natural elements. I tend to tie the weather, natural lighting, or other natural things into my writing a lot, and I can go on paragraphs of description about them with very pleasant action verbs. however just any paragraph of description that ties stuff together is probably one indicator -- describing is one of my favorite things

74b. If midoriya uses one for all, I describe it in similar ways throughout my fics. usually sparking, firing up, burning, or rushing for verbs of it activating, and I describe the light as well and sparking or flashing!

74c. so many commas, dashes, and semicolons. I dont like to end sentences, but this is common with a lot of writers I think

Thanks for all the numbers!!! this was really fun to write out :D

original ask post here!

Hi omg!! I just wanted to say your post on izuku being autistic was so amazing!! Im a special educator and it makes me so happy to see other people recognise these traits and advocate for them!!! Youre so amazing please keep talking about your amazing headcannons (and genuinely just your recognition and respect for autistic characters!) youre amazing!!! I cant say it enough!!

I'm glad you appreciated the post!! Sorry for responding a bit late lol, its reassuring to hear that other people who knows abt autism think that what I said was good - and again sorry for responding so late ! I have gotten a little sidetracked and keep forgetting to respond to this :^|

I'm so happy to hear that multiple people thought this analysis was real good and such !!!! its very reassuring to know I wasn't alone in thinking about how midoriya has autism traits

[dogwaterdish]

4, 9 and 11 for the artist ask game!!

4 - favorite character to draw is ALL MIGHT !!!! but ohmygod I cannot draw his muscular form AT ALL. he always looks so... wrong !! ITS SO ANNOYIGNGGGGGG but I am trying to learn .-.

9 - I have no idea what tjis means but if you're asking what I name drawings n such, they either go unnamed, have a one-5 word name, or if they're part of a series drawing (such as my TCoE drawinfs [yes I am still gonna make the other two]) they have the abbreviated name of the fic they're for, the chapter, and then the drawings number like this:

if thats not what rhe question was askign then. I have no idea

11 - I listen to so much music while drawing, but sometimes I'll throw on a video essay or a kurtis conner video!! but more often than not I need sound while I draw so there will be something

[dogwaterdish]

hey this is gba again !!! i read tcoe 6 and LOVED IT ONCE AGAIN, all might checking up on the students and helping uraraka was so sweet and DUDE THE SCENE WITH HER AND IZUKU my dadmight obsessed brain went feral teehee

hii!! I'm glad you enjoyed it :] its lovely to hear y'all like it !

and I was honestly going a little stir crazy not writing midoriya interacting with his class in this fic , which is what spawned that scene with uraraka XD -- the next chapter is going to be back with midoriya in 'real time' if you will, so stay tuned !!

[dogwaterdish]
