[thenumberonelistener]

My Hero Academia playlist (and why the songs are there)

(pls reblog with further suggestions i wanna add stuff to my playlist because I made this playlist 2 years ago)

Dirty Little Secret (all american rejects) : idk it originally went with my main oc ship because it was with shouto and they needed to hide it from his dad

Bakugo! (KVMIL) : I mean, duh.

Me and My Broken Heart (Rixton) : I gave this to todoroki. I'm not sure why. for some reason I thought it matched the angsty vibe

Hey, Soul Sister (Train) : Dekuchaco. That's all.

Rude (MAGIC!) : This gave me really big Kirishima vibes when I made it and it still does.

All Star (Smash Mouth) : This is my All Might song. thats it.

Starships (nicki Minaj) : Minaaaa <3

Pound The Alarm (nicki minaj) : This gives me so many... Present mic dj vibes

Bang Bang (K'naan) : This is just so cute and I like using it for any ship I'm thinking of.

Boss Bitch (doja cat) : another Mina song. It's probably in here because it used to wake me up.

Hot 'n Cold (Katy Perry) : purely JUST for the icyhot memes.

Va Va Voom (Nicki minaj) : I think i thought this went with mina when i put it in here? i don't know but i like this song. Could go better with midnight though.

Peach Sign (Kenshi Yonezu) : this is one of the theme songs.

You make me feel... (good) (Cobra Starship) : This song is just such a bop?? soOO GOOD? and it was one of my dance team songs at the time. It's just a good, sfw kind of ship song? but can really be used for found family too? I think?

Uraraka (GameboyJones) : OBVIOUSLY I HAVE TASTE

The Red Means I love you (Madds Buckley) : this song was made about Himiko Toga, and i love it

Class 1-A (Rustage) : This seems obvious

A World Alone (Lorde) : i put it in here for my oc, honestly <3

Get Him Back! (olivia Rodrigo) : I have no idea whY, but it reminded me of hitoshi?

Sora ni Utaeba (amazarashi) : it's one of the theme songs

Here with me (d4vd) : made me sad and reminded me a little of the empty oboro-shaped hole in Mic and Aizawa's friend group

Everybody Talks (Neon Trees) : Gives me denki vibes honestly

Good old fashioned loverboy (queen) : ERASERMIC!!!! gay.

Dear Future husband (meghan Trainor) : no idea why it's in here, take your best guess.

Still into you (paramore) : ERASERMIC!

Moves Like Jagger (maroon 5) : Present mic. thats it.

Don't Threaten me with a good time (Panic!) : I think this is in here because of Mic, but I'm not sure.

Sweater Weather (The Neighborhood) : bisexual anthem... it's just the vibe

Airplanes (B.o.B) : the memes, but also because I just like this song. and it fits with the rest of the playlist vibes

The Record player Song (Daisy the Great) : This song was more attributable to one of my ocs, Sairento

Prom Queen (Beach Bunny) : I related this to Sairento but also to Ochako

I had so much fun making posts about my stories I did in 2022 last December that I've decided to do a post about the stories I've done in 2023 today! Unlike last year I'm not breaking it down by story so sorry it'll all be one post lmaoooo. And today's the perfect day to do it because this is the third year anniversary of when I started Stray! I'll throw it under a read more because it's a long post lol

Ironically I'm not starting this post off with Stray

FIRST UP

I actually did this one for a secret Santa event I was in a discord for at the time and it's the only instance of a story I've written that didn't have one of the rooftop gang as the main character

technically since the erasermic cats are named Present Meow and Fog this can count as a sneak peak into erasermic post Mic's Bullshit Life where they're now at the dorms lol

Also the Thirteen and Midnight bit of friendship in this story is kind of a subtle hint of where I'm taking their friendship in Crumbled Rooftops

NEXT

STRAY MY BELOVED

ya'll should thank @shabby-blog extra special for this one because they are 100% the reason this story even got dropped this year. They are also the driving force behind the fact I'm still working on it

as an extra special 3 year anniversary gift and because chapter two is taking so long to finish (it's a beefy bitch) everyone's Christmas present is access to the OG doc that was started on this day 3 years ago. Meaning this doc is from the era I was still writing Mic's Bullshit Life

the version on ao3 was started in October of 2021, then I don't think I touched it again until AFTER I had done the BNHA big bang and written some percentage of crumbled rooftops since that was THE focus

Genuinely one of my favorite things about Stray is the relationships. Emi and Shouta being exes and yet still close best friends. Nemuri showing up in Hizashi's apartment like "WAKE UP NERD". Oboro professing his love for Tensei and five minutes later hoping that Present Mic dropped nudes on Twitter. There's some great relationship things coming up in chapter 2 that I know you guys will love but writing the way these characters interact is a treat

I'm so glad that there are people who like this one and I'm so sorry it's taking so long to get more of it done but i promise. The next chapter will be worth it. And then chapter 3 will be extra worth it (even though I haven't even started that yet)

NEXT

This is so far my only published cloudnight story and it's also mistnight so it's obviously first and foremost the best thing I've published

I count this story as an apology for what I did to people in chapter 6 of crumbled rooftops

I LOVED writing this one so much. Particularly the opening bit where Kurogiri is like stunned into silence by Nemuri just being Nemuri.

Obviously it takes a lot of cues from the way I write Kuroboro in Crumbled Rooftops in regards to the dynamic between the two of them as well as introducing how late story Kuroboro will probably behave. Getting to go ahead and write Kuroboro where both parties are in agreement that this situation is permanent and are fine with that was a lot of fun since that's the end goal for CR.

And obviously it's always fun getting to write for Nemuri, particularly since the story I gave her the biggest role in is also one of my saddest. Getting to write a dynamic between Nemuri and Kuroboro was WONDERFUL. Obviously a lot of it is pure headcanon because, at most, in canon Oboro definitely crushes on her.

And on that note it's not that Nemuri has an easier time seeing Kuroboro as he is now compared to the Oboro she knew than EraserMic, it's just that the circumstances in this story are different. I didn't get to delve into it so much, but Kuroboro is on far better terms with them as well since he's not competing with them losing Nemuri. Obviously it's still hard on all of them to cope with Kuroboro as he is now but it's EASIER since theu'de not also grieving for Nemuri

obviously this is one of my favorites I've written this year but then again all my stories are my favorite

AND FINALLY

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT TWO CHAPTERS OF CRUMBLED ROOFTOPS HAVE COME OUT THIS YEAR

Listen. I KNOW it takes me forever to update this one. And I'm once again going to say that shabby is a fucking godsend because they are the reason I managed to get chapter 5 done after I had to rewrite basically all of it just to get it to a point where it was good enough

This story is my BABY, OKAY. It takes a lot of cues from Mockingjay and the entire Hijacked Peeta storyline that I didn't realize until I reread that book earlier this year. And it WORKS.

We hit two pivotal points in this story this year, one of which has been in my mind since the story was originally outlined for the BNHA big bang last year and the other that I kind of happened into.

So to go into chapter 5 first- the Tensei reunion is one of my favorite parts of the story. The way Tensei interacts with Oboro was so GOOD. He is open and honest with Oboro (with the exception of exactly one moment) and it gives Oboro a perspective on things that sets into motion what happens in chapter 6

Not to mention the Eri and Oboro bonding in this chapter is absolute perfection. Eri dropping "your quirk hurts people too doesn't it" and Oboro realizing how similar they are is. Just. One of my favorite things.

BUT CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER. FUCKING. 6.

I am genuinely not lying when I say that one of the first scenes in my head for this story was Oboro confronting Hizashi and Shouta about Nemuri. I wanted the story to get to that moment so bad and I didn't know when or how I was going to get there

So obviously when I started chapter 6 and knew in my heart that THIS was it, it was going to happen in THIS chapter, I knew I had to do it right. And judging by the comments I got for it I feel like I nailed it (LET ME HAVE MY CONFIDENCE)

giving Oboro the single happy moment of finally being called Uncle Oboro was my apology to him

And I want to give a shout-out to the ending of that chapter specifically, since it's one of the few times I acknowledge the manga storyline that's currently ongoing rather than sticking to anime only information. Considering how long it's taken to write this story, when I knew for sure I was going to make Nemuri's death a pivotal part of the plot, that was going to be the major manga spoiler. But the anime beat me to it and suddenly before chapter 6 came out, the audience reading it was more likely to have the same information that everyone but Oboro had- that Nemuri was gone

HOWEVER while it's not particularly a big part of the plot character wise, the original ending to chapter 6 was going to be Oboro alone on the rooftop of UA. That had been set in stone since the reveal scene happened. But at some point in the final arc, at least two of the towers of UA get destroyed. Whether it's ACTUAL UA or not (thanks @machiroads for planting a doubt in my mind lol), my immediate thought was 'oh SHIT my FANFIC'. Because it was absolutely important to me that Oboro warp to the roof of UA, since in his mind it's safety. But suddenly that wasn't there and it changed how that last little bit of the chapter had to go and HONESTLY. IT WORKS SO MUCH BETTER.

I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get the next chapter out but I can tell ya'll this- we're entering the next arc of the story now. The biggest secret is on the table, and what happens next is going to define a lot of how the characters interact with each other and I am so looking forward to sharing it with everyone

AND THAT'S A WRAP. Last year I mostly did trivia bits but this year I just kind of went all over the place lol sorry everyone

Only Human

Only Human by TheWonderTwins

Joining the space program hadn't exactly been optional for Shouto, but it did have the perk of getting him away from his bastard father. With humanity's recent inclusion in the Galactic Alliance and the widespread rumors surrounding the new Deathworlders, he had his choice of posting after graduating from the academy.

Too bad those rumors don't seem to describe Shouto very well. He just wants to do his job and live a life out from under his father's thumb; he didn't join the space program to make friends.

Tensions on board rise as a new high-stakes mission leave some of the crew worried about the effectiveness of a Deathworlder who refuses to form attachments, but all Shouto can worry about is the new alien in his charge.

But only because that's his job… right?

Shouta sighed, setting his mug down onto the counter, “I just feel like I should have gotten used to the route by now. I mean, sure, it’s the same route. But everything seems off. People that are used to the quiet are shocked that I’m back. Nearly everyone that has a nightly shop open thought I got killed in action.

His hair is cut to shoulder length with an undercut on the left side and is currently messy. He has two black eyes, a broken nose and blood running down the front of his face from his nose, splashing onto his shirt. He's glaring at Aizawa who is on his left. Aizawa is wearing his usual hero gear with his capture scarf around his neck. He's holding up a gauz pad and avoiding eye contact with hizashi.

The second image shows hizashi being held up by an original character. The original character, Haru, is very tall and hunching over, has unnaturally white skin and large completely black eyes. His hair is long, lank and black and hangs Infront of his face. His hands are larger than normal with elongated fingers that gradient to black at the tips. He is wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a DragonBall Z button up shirt. He is holding up Hizashi in his left arm while skilling and waving towards the viewer. His smile is also unnaturally wide and shows his small but pointed teeth.

Hizashi is being held up as he looks drunk and unfocused. His hair is shoulder length and messy. He wears a cropped black t-shirt and leather trousers with a red belt]

[bravobeavo]

@silent-waters-deep-thoughts was kind enough to ask if I’d share a snippet of my Emic Nomu AU that I posted about yesterday <3

So here’s a 500-word snippet under the cut from Ch. 1!

Most of the room was barren, though something about that fact felt comforting. The sheets were a light, sky-blue color, he noticed, not white like the sheets in... in... 

Where? 

He shook his head slowly, “I... I can’t remember anything.”

“Nothing at all?” The other man stepped closer to the side of his bed with a desperate expression, “Not even who we are?”

“You’re... pro heroes? Midnight and...” He tilted his head at the man, eyeing his electric blue hair, “Loud Cloud?”

“Yes!” Loud Cloud seemed eager - nodding excitedly, but calming when Midnight reached over the bed and placed a placating hand on his shoulder, “Do you remember our real names?”

At that, he felt like raising an eyebrow. He wasn’t sure why, but it felt like an odd question, “I... don’t know how I would know that.”

“Okay,” Midnight’s voice was tight with strained anticipation as her eyes slid over to Loud Cloud then back to him, “Do you remember who you are?”

He was quiet again for a moment, looking back down to his hands. 

They were wrapped in clean, white bandages that made his fingers look thin and bony. He flexed them experimentally and winced at the ache there, bones feeling stiff and weak.

‘Eraser?’

A name rang through his head, the voice there loud and obnoxious and nothing like his own.

‘Eraser, look at me… are you sure you’re okay with this?’

He closed his eyes as he felt a stronger headache begin to creep around the edges of his mind. 

Whose voice was that?

‘Eraserhead? Can you hear me, handsome?’

“Eraser… head?” He repeated slowly, the words feeling thick and wrong in his mouth. 

“That’s right, that’s your alias,” Midnight placed one of her hands on her hip, “Anything else? Your real name or how you got here?”

He swallowed, belatedly noticing how dry his throat felt. He thought for a few moments, thankful for the silence to sort his thoughts, but he came up empty. 

The two pro-heroes looked disappointed as he shook his head hesitantly.

“Well,” Midnight placed her hands on her hips and exchanged another glance with Loud Cloud, “That complicates things.”

“Your full name is Aizawa Shouta,” Loud Cloud said, directing his gaze to... Shouta, “Does that sound familiar?” 

“… No?” He tried to push away the sense of unease that was crawling under his skin, like there was something more going on that he wasn’t catching.

Loud Cloud’s lips twisted into a frown as he blew out a breath, “Okay… You go by the alias ‘Eraserhead’ and you… you showed up at UA extremely injured a little over 12 hours ago.”

He took in the information silently, filing it away. He had been injured, which explained the pain throughout his body, and he’d been in this place for over 12 hours. 

He nodded faintly, “U... A?”

“That’s where we are now, in UA’s infirmary. Loud Cloud and I are teachers here.” Midnight said slowly, as though explaining something to a child, “It’s an academy for young heroes and those going into the pro-hero industry.”

UA... the place sounded familiar, yet foreign to him at the same time.

They said his name was Aizawa Shouta, but he wasn’t sure it felt right to be called that. At the same time, he couldn’t decide if being called ‘Eraserhead’ felt better or worse. 

Neither of the names felt complete for some reason.

There was something he was missing, he was sure of it.

“If I…” He blinked down at his bandaged arms and tilted his head, “If I have an alias… am I… a pro-hero?”
