absolutely obsessed with pez dispenser debris i feel like a little baby holding ur characterization of izuku in my chubby gross hands and chewing on him chewing on him chewing on him. (also your characterization of everyone else????? absolutely delicious get in my mouth) i feel like there are three people in this world that understand the story i *wanted* my hero academia to be and you are one of them. UGH!

i’m vibrating at frequencies that could shatter glass just absolutely obsessed w/ everythinf about the way you write. ik you said this is your “bad writing” fic but like. your ability to just Tell an insanely poignant story in a way that is so endearing and engaging and genuinely FUN is something that i aspire to so much. ok that’s all goodnight

I’m unbelievably thrilled that so many people ended up liking the fic I started in a fugue state while Not Studying For The Bar Exam thank you for your kind words

guys be honest should i make a "talk blog" for my sillies.... not a talk blog PER SE... i just want somewhere where i can share and dump tidbits about them without clogging their main or this blog because there's aaaaaa loooooooot i want to say about them (as in a group, as individuals, about their teams, about other npc groups, about their music) but i can't because i wanna keep their main #professional and that means making graphics and making everything make sense and easy to read WHEN I JUTS WANT TO YAPPPPPPPPPPP and idk there's something that is not making me want to keep everything in this blog 😭😭😭😭

the thing is that like the 8 episode season where each ep is one hour to an hour and a half long IS good IF. if if if. BIG IF. if it's a one season only show in the first place. if the whole story is contained and it is clearly over at the end of the very last episode and it was INTENDED to be that way not just rushed bc it got cancelled. that goes hard as hell. u binge the whole thing and feel hollow at the end and then start it all over again. but doing it with a show that is clearly intended to continue is crazy. if I'm supposed to sit with these characters for multiple seasons and I'm supposed to watch them develop and grow and experience the epic highs and lows of high school football then I NEED silly exposition episodes. I need episodes where people just talk and the action isn't really there. there needs to be a balance between jam packed crazy ep and slice of life ep where the characters get a breather and go on a goofier adventure. the 20 ep season format gives the characters time to become PEOPLE instead of just like. a guy on a screen. do u know what I'm saying

hermione struggles a bit with accidental magic when she's experiencing moments of heightened emotion. this continues into adulthood, but she does get better year after year with less severe/less frequent episodes

unlike other magical children who have their magic and how to control it explained to them by their parents when they have an outburst, muggleborns would have to deal with confusion/fear/rationalising. and children react to the people (especially adults) around them and tend to follow their lead. so, if her parents were to rationalise or be spooked by a bout of accidental magic, a little hermione would have done the same. shoving down her magic and internalising it, associating it so heavily as something that happens when she feels out of control

these habits are already well ingrained into her by the time she finally gets her hogwarts letter and though she learns to control her magic and channel it, she's still years behind the other students and those habits are deep-rooted

hello!!!! i just wanted to ask if we can expect a continuation for the series u have going on,, the one where reader and sashisu are in high school and stuff?? i js wanted to know cause they way you write them is SO CUTE. something abt ur writing just feels so genuine and sweet and it actually makes my heart melt!! anyways, no pressure or anything i just wanted to know!! <33

anon this is probably the scariest moment of my life i don’t know what kind of crazy soul connection you and i have but . um . i’m actually…. in the middle of finishing the suguru part of that series 😭 like . right now . i’ll probably post it in a couple hours. i wasn’t satisfied with the series as a whole so i kind of unofficially scrapped it, but i’ll probably still post the parts i had planned — just on their own!!! i’ll probably go back and delete the satoru part i already have posted and then repost it on its own after rewriting it too…..

anyway. sorry for letting you down anon, i’m honestly really surprised anyone remembers it :’3 but yeah!!! the summer/suguru part will be posted today, and then the autumn/shoko part some other time…… and then maybe the winter part too…………. so . i mean. i guess i technically will be finishing the series, the parts just won’t be officially connected or anything like that!! i really hope that makes sense 😭 i’m just… not suited to writing series i think . but i’m soso overjoyed that you like my sashisu!! 🥺 i actually ended up taking the ending i had planned for that series and turning it into this fic, so feel free to check it out if you’re interested <333

My unpopular opinion is that Im0dna is a great example of "just because someone knows you the longest, doesn't mean they know you the best". They don't really underwater each other like other people in the party already do

Hi anon,

So the ask meme is done but I don't actually know if this was intended as part of that, as I also have the sort of personality that solicits unpopular opinions into my inbox anyway. (Also I am guessing underwater is a very funny autocorrect mishap for understand; I have been there).

Anyway, yeah. I think my favorite meta I've seen is that what Imogen and Laudna actually ask of each other is just to be there - because it is true that they have both lived incredibly lonely lives. For what it's worth I think loneliness/missing someone is perhaps the most common thread among Bells Hells, with a secondary theme being victims of circumstance/irrevocably altered by events beyond their control, and it frustrates me that a lot of framing of the ship ignores that Imogen and Laudna are not uniquely suited to understand this about each other. But it is true they have experienced loneliness that, in my opinion, is at least partially self-inflicted (also not unique) and that their response has been to be there for each other.

But it also means there's little room for change, because change threatens that status quo, and there's therefore no space to delve deeper. It's a little bit of the classic problem of if you start a romantic relationship with a friend and then break up, you might lose both the romantic relationship and the friendship. But it's more than that - Chetney and Imogen have zero romantic interest in each other and aren't even terribly close within the party, but when Chetney asks Imogen if she's okay Imogen is actually able to answer with some amount of honesty without pretending everything will work out, as she's not worried about making sure he feels comfortable. Deanna, who's known Imogen for less than a week, is able to address Imogen's constant use of psychic powers in a way that's not unkind but is in fact the honest sort of thing a best friend should be able to tell you. Or for another example, FCG's tendency to strongly urge people, including Imogen, to confront their pasts isn't always the most skilled, but it usually comes from a place of good intentions, whereas Imogen and Laudna's relationship feels...unconsciously transactional? I think we saw in the gnarlrock fight that they're just absolutely terrified of being in a fight and don't really know how to resolve conflict in a way that actually moves forward rather than smoothing things over. Like, it's not an unfair relationship - they're both getting the same companionship out of it - but there's not really space for one person to be angry at the other or to feel wronged. There's no room to breathe.

Anyway - I think the party split is really illuminating this! Imogen is benefiting immensely from this arc, as it both spotlights her relationships with other party members and gives her some time to process after being the central focus for so long. While I have to admit that Team Wildemount is the one I'm far more interested in for a number of reasons (fantastic guests, all the main PCs have cool plot hooks to explore, I love Uthodurn and Molaesmyr) I do hope that we get to see Laudna similarly have a chance to branch out (pun kind of intended).

she watched pasquale's father get arrested. that is when lila realised his approach wasn't the one she needed to take to win. she has known this way back then. she never talks about writing books as a way of becoming a famous author for the sake of becoming a famous author, it has always been about making money to accomplish something different.

god i wish ao3 clout paid the bills. gonna walk into job interviews for professional writing positions like “WELL. i am kind of a big deal, you know. SEVERAL people on the internet say i’m good at writing bullshit about cartoon characters yelling at each other,”
