What astounds me about the whole "you need a pure human SOUL to perfect the serum" thing is that so many people take Chujin's conclusion at face value. Chujin Ketsukane? Chujin "Winner of the 'You Tried In Engineering' Award" Ketsukane? Chujin "Fumbled Inventing Robots So Hard He Earned The Ire Of The Usually Pretty Chill King" Ketsukane? Chujin "I Accidentally Killed A Human Child By Overshooting The Parameters On My Guard Robot" Ketsukane? That Chujin Ketsukane?

mortal kombat band au… id love to hear everything about it 👀 any solo acts or duos?

sophy raGHhHGGhhg you're my HEROOOO ASKJDGAKJSD ahem. there's a lot. we'll start with the bigger bands and stuff like that and make our way down. some of this is serious some of this is a joke that stuck i prooooomise you its good.

Liu Kang is like. god of music protector of earthrealm. it's mainly stationed in mk1 but oh oh i'll get to past timelines. The Mortal Kombat tournament is still a thing but it's like more about serving cunt then hits yknowwww.

Biggest by far is the Earthrealm Players. I have no idea what to call em. But it's Raiden, who's the vocalist, Kung Lao on bass, Kenshi on drums, and Johnny on guitar. They're a metal band, something kinda like Avenged Sevenfold. They were kinda a shitty garage band but they had fun regardless, Kung Lao was on guitar at the time. Johnny showed up to one of their gigs in a dive and like instantly fell in love and pretty much wormed his way in there. He chose music over acting this time. (unrelated i guess but he has a PhD in astrophysics instead of quantum physics) Johnny gatekeeps the band hardcore cause they're dead set on gaining traction organically.

Kung Lao and Kenshi let their anger lead their music, so they are very aggressive with what they do. Kung Lao specifically is afraid of his name fading to history and refuses to let that happen. He's a little more like forward with his anger, and he kinda abuses the hell out of his bass strings. Has to restring it like after every hardcore jam sesh and gig. Also, because of this, he tends to break his skin a lot and gets blood all over his bass. and bandmates. Kenshi channels all his pent-up anger into his drums cause he was still a Yakuza in this timeline. HE'S actually 3 mil in the hole cause he dropped it on drumsticks. Who restored his sight. Yes, the drumsticks are Sento. But a lot of his performances are kinda dramatic but in the good way, he's often seen kinda looking like he's gonna cry?? but with his eyes gouged out (i mean mileena took EVERYTHING, he doesnt have any tear glads or ducts) he can't cry. Sento also IS their practical effects.... These two specifically I can see doing something like (Anesthesia)-- Pulling Teeth by Metallica.

Raiden grew up with music, and it's been something that's been in his family for quite a while (ahem ahem old timeline raiden was the god of voice too ahem). He sings to mourn those he's lost and remember those he's known, those he will meet, and so on. He's got a voice that can CARRY. All angelic and soft and sweet, but also he can 100% hit a reaaaaaaaal sexy death growl. Johnny initially started playing out of spite because music (and acting) was shunned by his father. And it was the one thing he found a lot of comfort within, something that kinda shoved his depression to the side. Helped distract him. Slowly that became the sole reason he played. He'll definitely like do some sensual things with his guitar too. He's the kinda guy who plays into the fans, and the band has to be like "eyes up here" (AND THEN THEY KISS).

THE LIN KUEI BROS. Forgive me. Are a boyband. Very popular DUUUUH. They end up breaking up cause of conflict of interest. Bi-Han starts a solo career, and Tomas and Kuai Liang start a duo. Guess who's more popular lmfao.

HAVIK AND REIKO HAVE A DEATHMETAL BAND AND I GET IT'S SOOO CLEAR but hear me out hear me out. Havik and Rain also had a like black metal band together called. ahem. "The Flood". Rain lost interest in music and they split up. Havik found his way back to Reiko and they got EVEN BETTER. Havik on vocals of course. He's got an insane growl. And Reiko handles like everything else. They just kinda record stuff and play it during the show depending on what Reiko chooses to play during.

Ashrah and Reptile also have a duo band. To be honest I really see them making stuff like Crane Wives, some real nice sorta adventurous music with their hearts poured into it. Both of them specifically write about their struggles and both actually sing! They don't play live a lot and really just drop their music and like. walk away for several years. But each time it's a beautiful experience. Baraka has actually collabed with them a few times. But he himself walked away from music cause of his affliction, he was shunned by the audience really. THEY HAVE ALL ALSO COLLABED WITH RAIDEN, KUNG LAO, JOHNNY, AND KENSHI. A LOT OF TIMES ACTUALLY. HEAR ME OUT.

Milleena and Tanya oh my GOOOOODS. Girl rock. Like soft, but grungy stuff. Together. A mix of post-rock and soft rock, and it's allllll love songs. And ALL OF THEM ARE ABOUT EACHOTHER. It's all sappy and sweet and all self-indulgent and they do it for eachother.

Li Mei and Sindel also had a little duo back in the day but most of the music faded into obscurity. They broke up after the death of Jerrod, and Sindel continued to create music in memory of him. Li Mei kinda fell off as well, but trust me when I say she SHREDS.

Now. Okay. Stay with me here. please. oh my god please. Kitana. Is a vocaloid producer. She has beautiful vocals. But she was introduced to Vocaloid by Mileena as a kid and it never left her bones. She's like the Giga of the universe. She makes fun upbeat songs and OH ARE THEY BAAAAAANGERS.

It only gets goofier here please HAHAH. okay so basically. Shang Tsung is like Lady Gaga. but like evil a little. LIKE YOU CAN SEE THE VISION. He's sassy. He's a boyloser. He SLAYS. He and Quan Chi have collabed a little but Shang Tsung's a sensation. He's got over-the-top flashy performances, he's killin it on stage. He puts his ASS into his music.

Shao is the Frank Sinatra of Outworld. Guys. Okay. Hear me out please. Give him so water and he's got a voice that's gold. I refuse to elaborate any further.

Nitara's like the Taylor Swift of Vaternia.... singin her world back to life or something guys I dont know. Lowkey struggled with Nitara a lot when I wrote this out OUASGDHASG

BEFORE Baraka was pushed out of music, he was a country artists. DOES IT NOT FIT!?!?!? That's right. IT DOES. He's probably got a single out there that's all about Tarkat LMFAOOO

Lowkey I actually cannot see Quan Chi doing anything aside from riding off of Shang Tsung's career like the leech of a boyfriend he is.... he probably only drops music online and it's like so severely edited it's quite sad (i am a quan chi hater)

and finally. a little bonus. Fujin is like one of those artists that you don't know like at all. Like there's this one song that's a banger BUT YOU CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE... like the most mysterious song on the internet. That's Fujin's. But you don't know or something...

anyways. oh. it's in my head. was the au an excuse to emo everyone??? no. (lie)

[jiminrings]

omg 478jk WOULD be the best on the return of superman!! that’s such a cute image i can’t get it out of my head 😭😭 i don’t know if oc and jk would like to expose their baby/their lives like that on tv though? but still SO SO CUTE thank you for putting that image out into the world

REAAAAAAAAL <3 im glad u brought this up bc now i’m thinking if they’ll ever show their babies to the public!!!! the discussion to whether or not they’ll put their lil guppy in shows like these is definitely gna be a lengthy one

[in-my-loki-feels]

OP, I loved all of your tags so I hope it's okay to share them.

#SO HOW BOUT THAT WHAT IF EPISODE HUH #i like to imagine this Mobius works with SHIELD and got introduced through Maria Hill and Jane #Loki pestered about the double date and Jane figured ok why not I’ll call somebody and Mobius shows up #she never expected the two to get along so well #so when they leave the date alone she wonders if they’ll ever like to meet up or get to know each other better #little does she know they’re getting to know each other reaaaaaaaal well over at Mobius’s front door step #they’re dating the next day #jane: I had no idea you’d click this fast! #mobius: yeah it’s almost like it’s meant to be or something #jane: yeah or something

They’ve just come back from a double date… I think it went well

[simpjaes]

ok u probably wont post this bcs it contains spoilers but i just wanna scream about ootdg!!!,!! U WROTE IT SO WELL u have outdone urself yet again simpjaes and im just so happy you exist in this world so i can read works like yours For Free (let me give you a kiss)

can i just say i fell in love with how you wrote everyone especially sunghoon and jungwon! sunghoon so honest and pliant to the love of his life would do anything everything for her *screams to my pillow* and God especially jungwon. I know jungwon isnt meant to be romantic in this fic but god the way they started flirty then progressed to being ride or die soulmates like I FEEL LIKE if she asked jungwon to be their third he would do it in a heartbeat even if it meant dealing with a seething sunghoon (and jay lol) im jus so glad with the fic cuz a lot of fics end in the other staying human and ik theres beauty in watching your loved one grow old I JUST THINK I WANT A BELLA SWAN ENDING SOMETIMES u did just that so perfectly i love you! -🖤

OOTDG SPOILERS:

i think everyone who wanted to read it has probs already read it by now so I'm not gonna worry too much about spoiler asks anymore! I WANNA TALK ABOUT MY FIC, LETS GO.

sunghoon was definitely obsessed from the moment he smelled reader come into the city for fucking reaaaaaaaal. he tried to play it cool and everything, but man, he wanted to be what she wanted and needed and intentionally released his lure just to make sure he's not forcing her ;-; i love vampy hoon, fr, he got so soft for her.

as for jungwon, i could talk about this character for ages. but yeah, in my head when i started writing jungwon, he was meant to be a semi-love interest who is entirely bisexual. which obv happened, considering i peppered the story with jay too...huh.......wonder what would've happened if sunghoon never cared for reader and it was just jaywon and reader..........brain is mush........ANYWAY, jungwon is 100% meant to be reader's platonic soulmate. one where, unlike with romantic relationships, there is no jealousy, clinging is wanted, you can talk about anything and everything, and the feelings run so fucking deep that pretty much nothing can sever them. honestly, they're meant to be life long partners in one way or the other and they'd find each other in ever universe.

it's canon that jungwon will get turned at some point by reader, because she can't bare to let him die in any other way [much like sunghoon for her].

that being said, i do not think sunghoon in this fic would find any type of beauty in watching reader grow old. he doesn't want to see her in pain, or frail, or anything like that. at current times in the fic, she's in her prime, she's confident, she loves the world around her. if he had watched her die, i genuinely think sunghoon would have managed to kill himself off too. plus, not to mention, it's not always promised that people will die of old age and this is what really pushes sunghoon. he doesn't want to never be able to hold her again because of a freak accident, or some other death she could face.

so, why not do it himself? again, she dies only to live forever, and again, reader loves being alive so ofc she was like "HEELLLLL YEAH!!!"

[v-i-n-t-a-g-e-m-e-m-e-s]

I hate when there’s like a poster girl for an anime and she is tHE CUTESTT but the protag is some loser bitch guy and it’s like??? Queen you deserve so much better. I COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER FOR YOU. But ooh man he’s an otakuuu he’s perfecttt for me like darling he’s a LOSER. DO BETTER.

BnHA Chapter 317: My Boy Was Just Like Me

Previously on BnHA: AFO randomly blew up Lady Nagant as a good reminder of why you should never make a deal with this fucking guy, smdh. Hawks was all “well if it isn’t my two best friends, Deku and Lady Nagant, both of whom I respect and love tremendously.” Everyone was all “??” and Horikoshi was all “shh... just pretend” because it was too embarrassing for him to admit that he forgot to write a couple of set-up flashbacks I guess. Anyway so Hawks got Lady to tell them where AFO was hiding out, and everyone said goodbye to her and Overhaul, who never did get to see his boss (sorry buddy, I’ll send you a vial of my tears in the mail), and headed out to a house in the woods. AFO was all “hello Deku :) :) it sure is fun making you suffer :) :) :) anyways this is a trap”, and blew up the house. Yeah, we all here are getting reaaaaaaaal tired of your shit, AFO.

Today on BnHA: The Hawksquad and Edgeplatoon meet in a warehouse and are all “what should we do about the fact that everything sucks?” Mt. Lady is all “here’s a thought, what if we tried battling AFO with more than six people.” Hawks and Endeavor are all “great initiative, but just a friendly reminder that our friends also suck and would probably betray Deku which would suck further still.” Shouto is all “ANSWER THE PHONE DAD” and Endeavor is all “[IRONICALLY DOESN’T ANSWER THE PHONE].” Meanwhile over in Sadtown, capital of Sadland Prefecture, Japan, Deku is all “All Might, as you can clearly see I am completely fine and good, never been better in fact, definitely not caught up in the throes of an epic mental breakdown which is shutting me down emotionally, anyway so on that note I would like to leave you now goodbye!!” All Might is all “[can’t actually form any words because he’s too distraught].” Fandom is all “o(╥﹏╥)o.” Horikoshi is all “(*＾-’) 乃 [pew pew finger guns and barrel rolls into the darkness].”

sweet jesus lord

this literally doesn’t even look like Deku anymore?? this looks like Dark!Deku who shows up to fight you in that one room in the Water Temple. he looks like he’s about to crawl out of my television set and murder me with his psychic powers good lord

holy shit lmao Horikoshi is really just shrugging his shoulders and resolving last week’s cliffhanger with a single line of dialogue

fire is no one’s weakness. idk what other options you’ve got, AFO, but you’re gonna have to go back to the drawing board. maybe try bees or something. I’m just saying. we’re all expecting fire at this point but nobody is expecting bees

anyway so now they’re all sitting in some warehouse somewhere chatting about it I guess. shoutout to Horikoshi for finally giving my man Edgeshot some more dialogue at long last

well, Edgeshot, to answer your question, she exploded. so naturally she’s fine

nah just kidding, Hawks says she won’t be able to help them out much because she’s recovering from being exploded. this is the part where we all ignore the fact that Hawks got set on fire for like a full ten minutes back during the War arc and was only in the hospital for a day. anyways enjoy your temporary plot hiatus Nagant

man there’s a lot of dialogue here and I’m trying to figure out where to insert commentary but it’s kinda difficult lol. basically, Edge and the others are saying that they should gather up the other remaining heroes and get them all caught up on the whole OFA situation. which, hmmmm

like on the one hand, these guys definitely aren’t going to cut it on their own, so it’s a reasonable suggestion on the face of it. but on the other hand, do we really want to entrust the OFA secret to a bunch of other people, most of whom shat the bed during the War arc to be quite frank? is it really worth the additional risk? especially given that any one of them might go spilling the beans to the public -- or worse, betray them to AFO??

also just a quick side note here, Mt. Lady’s character development never ceases to delight me. she’s become so committed to her responsibility as a hero these days, and it fucking suits her. I genuinely consider to be one of the elites now. I mean it doesn’t hurt that all the other elites are fucking dead lol but still

wait what? Death Arms retired??

Death Arms as in the guy who was too afraid of a little fire to try and save a terrified 14-year-old kid who was slowly suffocating right before his eyes?? that Death Arms???? color me surprised. shocked, I tell you

...okay but holy fuck

Death Arms. bro. my expectations for you were low but holy shit. like I’m sorry, but I don’t even have it in me to try and pretend like I feel the slightest bit of sympathy for him or Old Man Samurai or any of those other guys today. thanks for a whole lot of nothing my dude. good riddance

(ETA: so I’m rereading this the next day and realize this comes off as kind of harsh, so let me just try to clarify. it’s not the fact that he’s quitting that bothers me, to be honest. it’s the fact that he’s quitting specifically because he feels like the public is being mean to him. that’s it.

seriously. it would be one thing if he was quitting because he was scared, because now that is human. nobody wants to die, and I doubt any amount of training can ever fully prepare someone to go up against that fear. but the thing is, he never once mentions that, or talks about the danger aspect. instead, I got the distinct vibe from this speech that Death Arms is one of those people who only became a hero because of the limelight. and I just don’t have any patience for that. if all you care about are likes and subscribes then go become a fucking youtuber or some shit. nothing wrong with that! but you didn’t; you signed up to be a hero and protect these people. they gave you their respect and admiration because they trusted you to protect them. and now that they’re no longer in the mood to worship and applaud your every move on account of them being scared shitless because they’re living in the literal end times, you decide to dip. so like okay, fine then. don’t let the door hit you on the way out. anyways lol sorry for the rant.)

anyway so yeah. perfect example of why I don’t exactly have a ton of faith in most of the remaining heroes out there lol. also let me just once again give a shoutout to my best girl Mt. Lady whom I suddenly find myself appreciating all the more

“please calm down makeste. drink some water and enjoy this fresh new jeans pun” listen Horikoshi don’t tell me what to do dammit

fine. it is a nice pun, I guess

-- damn so now Endeavor’s saying that the media is already being fed info by the retired heroes. so for some of these guys it wasn’t enough for them to abandon all the people they swore to protect and to leave their fellow heroes out in the cold; they decided they might as well actively make things worse for them while they were at it, huh. like I get wanting to spill all the dirty secrets from your old job that you just quit, but this isn’t Jeff Bezos you’re screwing over, this is a sixteen-year-old kid

-- like, yes!! this, right here!!

exactly!! let’s not forget that there are already two prior instances of this happening. Endeavor arguably deserved it, but Katsuki not so much

huh. Endeavor seems to have a more optimistic outlook regarding this than I do lol

I mean, this is the same public that didn’t hesitant to blame a kidnapped child for his own kidnapping, and then later on for being the downfall of the Symbol of Peace. but okay then

anyway so blah blah blah, more talk about how they need to use Deku as bait, which basically puts them back at square one, and then they’re all just trailing off into silence and sitting around in the dark lmao this is getting very depressing

SKDJFLSDKJ:LFKJ

SHOUTO?????

NOOOOOOOO ARE YOU KIDDING ME

OH HOW THE TURNTABLES OMG. THE GHOSTER HAS BECOME THE GHOSTEE. Endeavor you petty son of a bitch. and what a brutal cut to that flashback too. “let’s stop Touya together” nah Shouto I’ve got a better idea why don’t I abandon you in U.A. and sally off with Hawks and Jeanist to found the “let’s pretend like we’re doing something to help Deku” club, which basically consists of us sitting around making terrible decisions all day long

Shouto, honey. you deserve better my little Coca Cola can. .........but if you really do have something important you need to tell your dad you could just text it to him. all the love and support, hugs and kisses, you’re doing amazing sweetie. but if you need to pass on any vital information you can just write it down and hit send honey that’s all I’m saying love

now he’s getting another call?? -- or, no, Hawks is getting a call from All Might

ARE YOU FOR REAL HAWKS OMFG

so while you all were sitting around talking about how useless you are, the kid you’re supposed to be protecting was battling another hired gun. I see. please pardon me for one second, I have a phone call to make. the phone call is to RockLockRock and Manual. the reason for the call is to apologize for calling them the worst bodyguards ever back during the War arc. the reason for the apology is because it turns out I WAS SEVERELY MISTAKEN OMFG

JESUS CHRIST DEKU DID YOU JUST KILL THIS MAN LMAO

shoutout to Horikoshi for offscreening this fight. we get it, lol. Deku strong and scary, villains ineffectual and feeble, and AFO... [checks notes] yep, still a dick. the angst arc continues

-- the angst arc continues, SIR

jesus christ I may have to rethink all of my opinions about Deku being framed for murder in movie 3 lmao. never mind. he did it, your honor

holy fucking shit Deku. “he might blow up, so please be careful” fdlskjflk jlskdjflk lwkejflk anyway so I’ve decided the explosion running gag can stay, actually

DEKU WAIT YOU FORGOT YOUR LUNCH!!

lol why do I get the feeling some serious shit is about to go down. ALL MIGHT NEVER MIND BACK OFF I THINK HE NEEDS HIS SPACE

OH MY FUCK I GASPED OUT LOUD

NO NO NO. I KNEW THIS WAS COMING GODDAMMIT BUT NO. NEVER MIND, I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT IT, I’M NOT READY TO CRY TODAY

shit. shit shit shit shit and OF COURSE all I can fucking think about is that stupid fucking prophecy and gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Deku please. please please please if you really are going to leave All Might here, please be so very careful in choosing your farewell words to him now because have this sudden horrible fear that this might be the last time you ever see him alive and oh god. oh god oh god

DEKU NO, YOU’RE REALLY NOT!?!?

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE LESS FINE IN MY LIFE, ACTUALLY????

holy shit. and the fucking callback to the prophecy now. just in case we forgot. WHICH FYI, WE DIDN’T. but that’s basically confirming that this is all still very much on the table and HORIKOSHI NEVER FORGETS oh my god someone please hold me

and the fact that Deku’s flashing back to it now too, though?? because he never forgot either, because of course he didn’t, and now all this stuff is happening, and AFO’s words are getting to him, and this is literally his worst fear come to life and so of course he’s distancing himself from everyone, and now it’s finally come to even this. even the person he admires most

-- OKAY NO, FUCKING COME ON ALREADY I CAN’T TAKE THIS

I GET IT OH MY GOD, I ALREADY UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF THIS MOMENT WITHOUT ALL OF THE DEVASTATING FLASHBACKS THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! YOU ACTUALLY DO WANT ME TO CRY, HUH, IS THAT IT. THIS MAN THAT HE THINKS OF AS A FATHER, THIS MAN WHO HAS BEEN EVERYTHING TO HIM SINCE HE WAS A VERY YOUNG CHILD. EVERYTHING THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH, JUXTAPOSED AGAINST EVERYTHING DEKU IS UP AGAINST, EVERYTHING THAT’S AT RISK. LET’S JUST PUT IT ALL SIDE BY SIDE. LET’S JUST PILE ON ALL OF THE FEELS

(ETA: just a quick note that even though some of the posts I’ve read have described these as All Might’s flashbacks, I’m pretty sure they are Deku’s. most of these are scenes that only he was there for, so yeah. even though All Might is the one thinking the thoughts on the next page, the flashbacks are what’s running through Deku’s mind right now, and so we’re getting that emotion from both of them, which makes it extra devastating lol.)

wait, what???

WHAT??? do you really think that’s why he’s been so determined to protect you this entire time?? simply because you’re his successor?

-- oh no wait lol I think I got that mixed up, this is All Might saying that Deku feels the need to protect him. well that makes more sense lol

oh my god I cannot

his last words. his last words to him. and we can’t even see if he is smiling, like All Might always encouraged him to do. but what are the odds he can’t actually bring himself to do it. what are the odds he’s actually crying. oh god this scene is going to rip my heart out and STOMP on it in the anime isn’t it. Deku’s VA is going to full on murder me with emotion. not that there’ll be much of me left to murder after the thorough job that Horikoshi has already done here

YOU’RE CRYING. DEKU IS LEAVING ALL MIGHT AND IGNORING HIS OUTSTRETCHED HAND AND YOU’RE CRYING. AND BY “YOU” I MEAN “ME”, FUCK

nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope no words just feels just a big ol’ pile of feels. I do not have the strength. future me... [broadly gestures] good luck with all that

(ETA: LOL, WELL THEN.

what breaks my heart here is All Might. All Might, and everything he’s been through, and history repeating itself, and forcing him to live this moment from both sides because he wasn’t strong enough to fix things.

Toshinori had only just turned eighteen when Nana died. like, I feel like we don’t mention this enough. the All Might we know is a sixty-something-year-old man, and so everyone always talks about him like he’s basically been an adult forever. but he was a child when he met Nana. and he was still just a child when she died. barely a year older than Deku is now. younger than Mirio was when we first met him.

and we don’t talk about that. we don’t talk about how devastating that was for him. and we don’t talk about how the reason he grew up to become so reserved and withdrawn -- for all that he always tried so hard to outwardly project the image of a bold, confident, smiling hero -- was specifically because of what AFO did to him. because AFO targeted him in the exact way that he is now targeting Deku. because that’s what he does. he goes after every new user of OFA, and he finds out what’s most important to them, and then he destroys it. and for Toshinori, that was Nana. if you’ve read All Might Rising, you know that AFO basically killed her in front of him (and only killed her, while letting Toshinori and Gran get away). Toshinori (while crying) later says she was like a mother to him. and interestingly enough, during this same conversation, Gran tells Toshinori that he can see “that madness in [his] eyes” when Toshi talks about becoming strong enough to defeat AFO. madness in his eyes. sound familiar??

what’s happening to Deku now is the exact same thing that happened to Toshinori when he was a boy. AFO tried every bit as hard to break him as he’s trying with Deku now. “the path you’ve chosen is a thorny one. every battle grinds away at your soul with no end in sight.” we don’t talk about how Toshinori experienced this same thing for forty fucking years. and all the while isolating himself, exactly like Deku is doing now. pushing people away, exactly like Deku. because he never had anyone who was able to reach out and pull him back. and those words that he now finds himself frozen and unable to speak -- “don’t push yourself”; “you can rest” -- are the same words that no one ever said to him until decades later, when it was already far too late to make any difference.

everything that Deku is experiencing now is what Toshinori also went through. and it’s only now, as he watches it happen to his student, the boy he loves like a son, that he’s finally starting to realize the full extent of how wrong it was. you shouldn’t have to fight alone. you shouldn’t have to bear that kind of enormous burden alone. you shouldn’t have to push yourself, and you can rest. you can rest.

but it’s too late. just as he’s finally coming to understand it all, it’s all too fucking late. and he can’t say the words, he doesn’t know how to say the words, and then just like that, Deku is gone.

and he’s alone. again.)

I can’t. this can’t be their goodbye. I’m not ready. for this to be how they finally part, and then they never see each other again except in OFA. how is that fair. how is that fair. how is that fair

fuck me. lol. how many pages are left in this thing. let’s just wrap this up lol. so now of all the times for this fucking guy to finally show up

I can’t believe Stain has been here literally this entire time hiding behind this random wall and cutting onions. that was you who was cutting the onions, right. no need to answer that we’ll just say it was

HORIKOSHI JUST END THE CHAPTER PLEASE I’M OUT OF SPOONS. YOU HURT ME SO GOOD AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT BUT YOU NEED TO LET ME GO NOW SO I CAN BEGIN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO PUT MY LIFE BACK IN ORDER HERE. SO WHERE ARE WE CUTTING TO NOW WHAT IS HAPPENING

Stain did you also let AFO give you a new quirk. what’s with you guys. do you like blowing up

oh nvm lol because they were talking about THIS GUY ohhhhhh my fucking god

THAT’S BECAUSE HE’S SAD, LINDA!! jesus

omfg. and so yes, good, the chapter is ending here now on page 15. for once I am FULLY on board with that lmao

anyway so tune in next week for more adventures of Werewolf Deku!! that is, assuming we don’t finally cut back to U.A. at long last, which is actually a strong possibility considering that this chapter will likely mark the end of volume 31. it sure wouldn’t kill Horikoshi to start giving us some hope after everything he’s just put us through lol. KACCHAN COME GET YA BOY

Insecure/Jealous Billy Russo Headcannons

Requested by anonymous. Thanks for the request. I’m hoping these few headcannons I’m doing will help me get back in the swing of full-on writing. Thank you all for being so patient and understanding with me. 

Warning: slightly steamy

*gif not mine*

*These headcannons are for Pre-Jigsaw Billy*

If you asked him, Billy would NEVER admit to ever feeling insecure

But he does

It’s a combination of his upbringing and being abandoned by his parents and the way he always pushes himself for MORE, for BETTER

But he definitely has some insecurities

And when he gets with you, they all start to become more and more obvious

For instance, he ALWAYS does his hair, shoe shining, glare into a mirror thing routine before a date with you (ya’ll know what I’m talking about)

And when you two move in together, he’s weirdly self-conscious about his decorations (or lack there-of)

And he gives you his black card and tells you to go out and get anything you want for the penthouse (and you’re like “...okay”) because he wants you to be happy there with him

He always spends the maximum when he buys something for you, like, he spends to excess when it comes to you

And it’s sweet, but you can tell it comes from fear

Fear that he isn’t good enough

Fear that you’re going to leave him, that he can’t properly provide for you

And you try to get him out of the habit, but it takes some time

For so long in his life, Billy’s worth was measured by his looks, his smarts, and his ability to protect himself. Once he got out of the military and started Anvil, his worth began to be measured in dollar signs

But he learns--slowly--that he means much more to you than that, and he starts to relax around you

His bouts of insecurity don’t completely stop, but they are few and far between. He gets over his insecurities with your help, over time.

But that jealousy?

Awwww Lawd

Billy Russo is one jealous mother fucker

He never takes his jealousy out on you, though

He knows you’re loyal to him, and he knows you love him

But the people who flirt with you?

If it’s small, mostly harmless--the barista giving you an extra flirty smile as she hands you your drink, the guy standing behind you in line engaging you in some innocent small talk while eyeing you in a less-than-innocent manner--he tends to just give a non-verbal response

Maybe he’ll simply put his arm around you or narrow his eyes at the offender, but it usually doesn’t take much to get them to pull back

But if it’s big--someone actively flirting with you, or god forbid TOUCH YOU

Billy is either going to use his Anvil voice and simply tell the person to back the fuck off

Or he’s going to step up reaaaaaaaal close 

Stare down at the offender (because there’s a 99.9% chance that he’s taller than them)

And say “I’ma give you one second to walk outta here”

And if they don’t take that second...

...Billy is going to grab their arm, twist it behind their back, and calmly escort them from your presence

That’s if he’s in a good mood

If not, he’s probably gonna take out his knife and do a little... harsh persuasion to get that person to leave you alone

 And when he gets you home...

Awwwww yeah!

That man is slamming the door, throwing his jacket off and grabbing you so hard you’ll have bruises on your hips

Sometimes he’ll carry your ass to the bedroom where he’ll rock that body until your reduced to a quivering, delighted mess

Sometimes he’ll throw you onto the couch and take you there

Or he’ll bend you over the kitchen table and have you that way

Or, if he was especially bothered by the encounter...

He’d grab you

Lead you over to the window

And fuck you against the glass, so that anyone driving below can see that you belong to him, and vice versa

After, when you’re wrapped up in his arms, he’d kiss you all over, nice and slow and gentle, and whisper into your hair

“You love me, right?”

And you’d answer your insecure, jealous, slightly murderous lover, ensuring him that you love him

...until it happens again

I liked NamiRin! He probably hugs her a lot and loves warm long cuddles ;; maybe a few kisses on the head. In the modern au he will talk about Rin whenever he gets the chance to and gushes about her. Also gifts her a wisteria hairpin -💧

OKAY NAMIRIN IT IS AAAAAAAAAAAA

bROOOOO 

Rin would feel so embarrassed and flustered,, but she wouldn’t admit that she loves his affections. If he’s not giving her enough attention, she would just,, stare at him with a troubled expression until he notices her. If he doesn't, then she comes to him and tugs on his sleep sheepishly hehehe

okayy but like,, Rin gets cold easily as well...I can just imagine him gushing about her because her nose turns pink whenever she gets cold, and she tries to hide it awwww

pspsps yes namida pressing lil kisses on her nose teehee

Rin gets reaaaaaaaal affectionate whenever she’s sleepy. Like crazy affectionate. She’d cling on Namida’s side a lot. She’s mumbling lots of praises and saying stuff like how much she loves him. If he ever brings it up the next day (when she’s not sleepy anymore), she instantly denies it with a huge blush on her face.

Also,, she’d definitely wear the wisteria hairpin, and would probably cry alot if she ever, slightly grazes it. She probably thinks she misplaces it alot aswell.

Rin, running up to Namida: *sobbing and panicking* Namida: hey woah- what happened, are you okay? Rin: *SOBS* I- I *hic* I LOST IT *hic* Namida: *lowkey starts panicking aswell* L-LOST WHAT-? Rin: T-THE...*sob* THE PIN YOU G-GAVE ME- *hic* Namida: ._. Rin: :’’c?? Namida: Rin it’s,...it’s in your hair Rin: *immediately stops sobbing* oH WOW WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT- WOWOWOW I MUST BE GETTING TO MY NEXT CLASS AHAHA Namida: but school just finished- Rin: please i’m trying my best

AQ author interview tag:

Pen Name: dartmouth420

Pronouns: she/her

How long have you been involved in the RPDR fandom?: oh boy i’ve been reading fics since 2016-ish but i’ve been watching the show since season 5 aired

And what got you started?: as with any new media i consume i did a cursory investigation of the fanfic just to see what people were up to… loved every minute of it (biadore pulled me in first lmao) and during a span of unemployment i decided i wanted more rajila lol and started writing

Favorite queens and/or ships to write: i generally write rajila, ravjila, rujubee, but there are many other queens i really enjoy as characters and there are some other rare-pairs i might explore down the line !

Favorite genres to to write: i mostly write lesbian AUs, angst, idiots-in-love, awkward sex scenes are my favourite thing in the world, i often dip into themes of mental illness and trauma, as well as unnecessarily dark stuff that i don’t post lol. i’ll read just about anything but i LOVE genre-specific AUs (shoutout to Veronica&Dane for galactica, MistressAQ for their star trek au <3)

Where you post: aq a little but mostly i post on a03! 

Most popular fic: Prepare to Use Force If Necessary got a fair amount of attention which really surprised me because it’s not shippy or smutty, it’s basically a very drawn-out adoption fic :)

Favorite story you’ve written so far: I don’t have a favourite, they all have aspects i like and dislike in equal measure!

Longest fic you’ve written (and word count if you want): Prepare to Use Force If Necessary is 66,963 words lmao it could use an edit down… 

Fic you were nervous to post: Nostalgia for sure, because it’s canon compliant m/m which was outside my comfort zone, and it centres around a low-key toxic friendship so i wasn’t sure how that would be met! also i challenged myself to write it as AS5 was airing so it left little time for editing (i usually sit on a fic for a while before posting)

Favorite comment you’ve ever gotten on your fic: pink-grapefruit-cafe once sent in a comment praising Nostalgia when i was posting that and it made me so happy!!! thank you!! also this one rando on a03 once commented “jesus” on my one-shot (Famous Blue Raincoat) and i don’t know what that meant but i think about it all the time lmao. hilariously on the same story i also received an excellent, resounding comment (thank you lemyanka from a03) so that was really nice too <3 i like the different reactions people have :)

Do you accept prompts?: i don’t accept prompts directly but i have certainly seen prompts posted here aq and been inspired by them!

How you choose your titles: with great frustration

Do you outline?: yes! when i commit to writing a fic i write down single lines describing loosely what’ll happen in each scene, i.e. [raja confronts manila with her suspicions, they argue then make out] it’s not always in the right order. i write random scenes and if i like a scene enough, i’ll build a story around it. for example, with PTUFIN the very first scene i wrote was manila’s nervous breakdown, and basically built the fic around it as the pivotal moment.

Number of completed fics: 6

Number of fics in progress: uhhhh 4? honestly there so many looool

Number of fics coming soon/not yet started posting: here’s what i’ve got up my sleeve right now: an art world au about navigating an open relationship, a catholic high school au, a fight club au, a canon-compliant(ish) near-future dystopian hunger games fic that’s too dark for my own good lol, a lesbian au where the main character has severe agoraphobia/ocd, low-key Marriage Story au where the main character is trying to raise her kid after recently separating from her long time partner… oh the list goes on. and i hope to finish Nostalgia sometime :)

Upcoming work that you’re most excited about: the art world open relationship au is SUCH a soap opera lmao, but it’s almost done, it’s like 50,000 words tho and reaaaaaaaal angsty/emotional/smutty

Anything else you want readers to know!!: every time i get a comment i ascend into the sky with joy, seriously. i love every single person who’s ever bothered to say anything nice to me <3 <3 <3 <3. i’ve never worked with a beta reader but i think that could be fun! also, i think about the infamous ‘rajila sex anon’ every day of my life ahahaha

getting into an argument with axel and him just picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder

HNG FHFNFSBS NGFD

One of my favorite tropes. Hands down.

And Axel’s strong- like. Reaaaaaaaal strong. I’m not sucking my own dick, but it’s not uncommon for mechanics to have to push cars with seized or stuck-transmission-engines into the shop. And let me tell you, you definitely build up some muscle mass from that alone.

You are no match for his ability to push a seized Ford F-250 with a towing capacity of 12-15000 pounds.

And you’re fighting about something stupid, maybe it’s something ridiculous but you’re both stubborn as hell so neither of you cave.

And he just cocks a brow and licks the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t make me do the thing.”

And you’ll tense up because you hate it when he does ‘the thing’ in the middle of an argument because it’s impossible to stay mad at him at that point since he’s such a child and can just do that.

So you’d start to back away and he’d stay in tandem with your steps, and when you try to make a break for it he just grabs your waist, bends his knees and hoists you.

In the air.

A solid 5 feet of the ground, ass up next to his face over his shoulder and kicking legs being bend from his arm holding you sturdy. And you can barely hear it over your shrieks, but you feel his shoulders bouncing as he chuckles at your struggling, and it makes you want to be even more angry but you CANT because it’s AXEL and he always makes it BETTER and it’s not FAIR.

Ahem.

I mean.

I’ve never thought about it.

[modern-blog]

that part in someone great where she’s leaning her head on the window of the car, going through all the memories of her relationship hits hard af.. that feeling of being drunk going home after a night out and suddenly your friends aren’t there to distract you or hype you up and you finally get some quiet to be reflective and fucking sad is so SPECIFIC and reaaaaaaaal yoikes

C,4, Julia burnsides

You picked - Shade

Julia wiped the sweat from her brow with the floral print handkerchief her father gave her many lunar cycles ago. It was covered in lilacs and lilies. She stuffed it back into her apron pocket and hooked her wooden bucket to the moss covered rope. She let her bucket hang and went to work cranking the old gears as the bucket slowly sank into the abyss. It took a while but finally, she felt the weight of the bucket shift. Satisfied, she began work bringing it back from the deep depths. She grunted as she pulled the full and heavy bucket from the well.

Life was loud in Raven’s Roost. Horse’s hooved shoes clacked the cobble stone as rickety carts full of crafts and satisfied buyers passed by. Hammers clanged against metal as the metal workers and smiths shaped hot iron across the road. A few familiar faces called out and waved to her. Maria Threadbead, who wove magic into every stitch, every hem, every embroidered embellishment she got her hands on. Next to her was her wife, Irene, the best damn dyer in all of Faerun. She could make the brightest reds, the deepest blues, and the most royal of all purples stick for decades. Julia smiled and returned her wave. She was reaaaaaaaal glad she wore her red bandana today. Irene would’ve pestered her for hours on end, especially since it went soooooo beautifully with her dark brown curls.

Maria tugged Irene along, saving Julia (and Maria) from another ‘gab’ session. It didn’t stop Irene from shouting behind her though. “Red looks good on you Jules!!!”

Julia laughed silently and waved again as they disappeared behind a wagon. She shook her head, picked up her bucket and started the walk home. She passed by more friendly faces, and some not so friendly dudes in armor, but whatever. There were only a couple. She rolled her eyes. Sure, she didn’t mind mercenaries or guards. They were 'handy’ on the road and good to have around when bandits could out number you, but ugh. Julia kicked a lose pebble. It skidded against the cobble with a satisfying rattling crack. She could take care of herself.

She was proficient in axes after all.

When she reached the Hammer & Thongs she went around back. Steven Waxman, with his short and well kept beard, was whittling wood. It was shapeless for now. “Hey Papa,” she said setting the bucket down next to him as she kissed his forehead, “how’s the new guy doing?”

He smirked and kept his hands busy, whittling away at the small block of wood in his hands. “He’s a fast learning. Let him take a break under the willow for a bit.” He looked up and nodded to the water. “Care to go check on him? I think he might’ve nodded off.”

She giggled. “Can do.” She brought the bucket in and placed it in its usual spot on the counter. She grabbed for a cup and dipped it in. The cool water sent chills on her skin. She grinned, feeling giddy like a child opening their present on Candlenights. This…was gonna be fun.

It took a bit to find him.

She knew where the old willow tree was, same place as its always been since she was a little girl, next to a small pond covered in duckweed. Dragon and Damselflies danced and weaved over the cattails as frogs splashed in the water. Here was peaceful. Here she could lean against the tree for support and read for hours while the shade of the willow protected her from sunburn. Here she could practice her form with swings from her ax. Here, she could breathe.

Julia felt dumb when she finally noticed him.The man slept soundly by the roots, hidden by the curtain of leaves and branches the willow provided. His head was propped by his hands, cushioning him from the hard earth. She looked down at her cup of water for a moment. A light grin played at her lips. He looked way too peaceful. She snuck around him until she was hovering over his face. She tipped the cup a little.

He yelped. Hands flew, swiping the little water that splashed on his face, and swatting around him as he sat up. “What the h-” He turned and saw her, attempting to contain her fits of laughter, while failing to keep the water from spilling more from her cup. Red crept on his face as he stared at her wide-eyed.

Julia inhaled deeply and sighed. “Oh, that was too easy.” She grinned.

He blinked. “How’d you find me-OH SHIT,” he scrambled to his feet, “I fell asleep oh shit-damn he’s gonna murder me-”

Julia placed a hand on his shoulder. “Relax,” she clicked her tongue, “Papa wouldn’t harm a flea.” His shoulder relaxed under her hand. She grinned wickedly. “Me, however,” she splashed the rest of the water into his face, “might.”

He flinched away and cough. “oooo it got up my nose.” She howled with laughter. And then, he stared at her with his own wicked grin before he started shaking his head like a wet dog.

“Aaaahahaha, you trickster!” she pushed him back and shook the water off her arms.

He puffed his chest with pride. “Don’t dish what you can’t serve.”

Julia rolled her eyes. “I don’t think that’s how that saying goes Burnsides.”

“It does too!” he looked away for a moment and pondered, “maybe?”

She snorted. “C'mon Burnsides, Papa’s waiting for you.”

He clapped his hands together. "Right!” He stared blankly ahead, “uh….thanks for the uh…wake up call Ms.-”

“Julia, just call me Julia.”

He beamed at her. “Magnus,” he bowed, “at your service.”

She laughed and shook her head. “Get goin’ Mags.”

He nodded. “Right.” He walked past her and moved the curtain of branches out of his way. Then, he looked back. “Coming?” He asked, holding the way open for her. She smiled.

“Yes, thank you.”

colour me surprised?? you're not as into marvel as you were?? what changed, my dude?

y’know when you haven’t invested as much time into something as you normally do, so you kinda find yourself becoming more and more distanced from it? that’s what happened with me - uni this year has been a reaaaaaaaal roller coaster

(i mean, i haven’t watched captain marvel OR endgame yet, so that tells you how little time i’ve had...)

i’m sure if i started reading fic again, heck, if i had a little more spare time, i’m sure i could get back to the swing of things, but for now...eh. don’t get me wrong, i still enjoy marvel, I just don’t think imma be writing fanfic anytime soon.

[whatisthisnonsense]

Was Tri really that bad? Never watched it, genuinely curious here.

Buckle up, we’re about to get reaaaaaaaal salty in hereOkay, ya’ll know Digimon Adventure? Kids and fun and sometimes existential crisis but mostly fun? Has grim moments but way brighter than Tamers and full of Top Jokes?Remember everyone being mad how they got shafted in 02?Okay so take the anime producers taking this anger the entirely wrong way by APPEARING TO KILL THE 02 CAST and have nobody at all in-universe react to this (they turned up in a coma later but it still had very little weight), attempt to mix in some bullshit about how growing up is terrible and dark PLUS some cashing in on the Tamers Evangelion Aesthetic while also Adventure Nostalgia, and add a poor girl who really just did not contribute to the plot (Mei ISN’T a sue but she just. She doesn’t need to go here, ya’ll.) besides being the digidestined attached to the main plot coupon, and you get the absolute screaming nightmare that is TriWhich is to say Tri isn’t...hideous? It’s not the patchwork abomination of the USA movie (which separated proceeds to become three really neat ovas) but it just. Was pretty souless and felt super out of character even if they’re “grown up now” and apparently there’s gonna be a timeskip of several years despite the obvious hanging plot threads and all in all it just was a big fat cash grab that wasn’t even very good at itThough on the upside, several former Dub members actually turned up to voice their characters once more, and those that didn’t got decent replacements, and holy fucking SHIT the full cast version of Butter-Fly.Even so, they didn’t do a English Dub of it, it was just normal regular modern dub, and for western audiences that probably made things worse because yeah, we all know the Adventure dub was dumb. But it was dumb in a hilarious, fun way, and if you’re gonna bank on nostalgia you might as well go double barreled stupid puns and constant banter but nope. I could go into a proper rant about the thing but this is the summary of why hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
