Okay so I was listening to my favorite TV girl album who really cares and the song heaven is a bedroom came on and it just made me think of a scenario between YN and hobie first hanging out in a playground on swings
ok so i wasn’t sure if you meant them as kids or as his current age so i made the reader and hobie both kids bc it would be a little weird for him to be at a playground at his grown age 😭
keep in mind this is hobie as a CHILD so he’s not gonna act all grown!!
🍓 “that bracelet looks nice”
pairings: hobie x gn!reader
warnings: sfw, hobie has an afro as a kid, um that’s it dudes 😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the creaking of the swings every time you went back and forth was head-ache inducing, but the swaying on the rubber seat was weirdly calming.
your hair was splayed around by the wind, your feet swinging every time you went high of the ground. so far it had been a boring day for you. an unexciting day of primary school before going straight to the playground for a mental break, soothing your frail mind.
the sound of wood chips crackling under sneakers perked your interest, as you looked up and saw a boy about your age with a natural afro and a tattered vest. he had a certain vibe, but you couldn’t put your finger on it at that moment.
“you just gonna stare?” you looked up in surprise and saw the boy looking at you with curious, dark eyes. the first thing you noticed about him was his strong accent, which sort of made him more intimidating.
you apologized, embarrassed. “sorry, i’m not creepy, i swear!” you watched him sit on the swing next to you, seeming to not care that you were still, pretty obviously, staring.
“so why are you here?” he asked, kicking up some wood chips as he turned to look at you.
you shrugged, confused. “it’s a playground! i’m here to… play.” you weren’t even convinced that you were telling the truth, all you did here was think.
he looked you up and down as if he could read your thoughts before saying, “you don’t look in a very playful mood right now. what are you really here for?” he asked in a tone that made you feel pressured to tell the truth. you knew something was different about him, you just couldn’t tell what.
you sighed, giving in. “it helps me think sometimes, you know? i know it’s weird, don’t remind me, but it’s just calming for me.” you explained, looking at your sneakers the whole time.
he looked at you before surprisingly giving you a small, understanding smile.
“i get it, y’know. no one really gets me as much as you, a random stranger, has.” he nodded toward you, “maybe i should start having some thinking sessions here.”
you giggled and slowed your swinging, “maybe you should, it gets pretty lonely in a big place all by myself.” he playfully punched your shoulder before looking at what looked like a handmade watch before his eyes widened.
“bloody hell, nana’s gonna kill me!” he muttered under his breath before putting out his hand to shake. “until next time?” he offered, mouth turned up into a cheeky smile.
you took his hand gratefully. “lots more thinking to be done.” you giggled as he ran off into the neighborhood.
—————————————————————————
AHHHH THIS IS SO CUTE HOBIE AS A CHILDHOOD BSF IS KILLING MEEEE

- im sorry but crowley sounds like such an old man in the park scene, "frozen peas... it's good for them too🙂"
- seriously this is so much more palatable on tv format i can't get over it
- OH MAGGIE I LOVE YOU

- god believe me i feel for nina but... I... do not like her, and they are NOT suited for each other at all
- I LEARNT MY PASSION IN THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED SCHOOL OF LOVER BOYS
- that dance is so low effort I'm sorry it should have been the macarena or cha cha slide

- he and goob are like cats on a hot tin roof like IMMEDIATE hissing vibes
- lmao ok so that episode does end there then... such a weird ending im sorry but yeah let's fully retract the alternate episode theory (but @prime you need to hire me for s3 just a thought bc 👀)
- anyway ep2 I'm sorry but the angelic herald speech thing is cute and funny but also so cringe hmmm

- ok no I'm sorry but the mukbang scene is so unnecessary and uncomfortable
- "whack the kids" honestly the best line of this scene imo, but upon reflection and rewatching it, crowley's demeanour is rather heartbreaking whilst he's reclined getting ratted

- 'but just to be able to ask the question' UGH CROWLEY STOP
- lmao shoemaking and obstetrics what a combo god bless

I want to make a list of my JJK theories and opinions so we got (part 1 bc I know I'll have / remember more later).
-let gege cook, everyone will be fine, chill tf out (I have rambled about this in other posts so I'll just leave it at that here)
-Toji and Geto's worm is like banana fish (the drug from banana fish that makes someone delusional, easily suggestible, and violent until they self destruct. Geto lasted a lot longer than Toji under its influence bc he had his rituals of meditations, affirmations, and strong ethics. His cursed energy would have also fed the worm, though it had been trained to feed off of the soul when it was with toji). It eats away at their souls/BRAIN so Kenjaku can get into a new skull will little resistance. Remember when Geto was unconscious and Toji said the thing about monkeys? Then Geto kept repeating that kind of thing (but he never rly acted like he believed that. He was just trying to keep his daughters and innocent youth safe from becoming skapegoats like Rika was. He saw that the cult and the village would repeat their cycles and more would be hurt in the future. He couldn't redeem those adults so he killed them.) I go into this theory a good bit in my longest/first jjk fanfic, and I AM DYING for gege to confirm this. I also ofc think that Kenjaku set up the worm and Toji to find each other. Maybe by throwing it into the zenin curse pit.
-kenjaku hit Rika with his car, or at least manipulated someone else into doing it (which seems to be the theme here, the way he made geto and yuta fight, for example. It's suspicious that Yuta and Yuuji were both from Sendai. I'm sure that he was keeping an eye on them both. We see nanako and mimiko at yuuji's school in that one manga panel in the beginning.
-the prison realm can be used for time travel (since Gojo first got sealed I was expecting him to break out. And then I was expecting him to be so understimulated in there that he'd figure out how to warp time. Dude can already warp space, what's the difference?) and Hakari even suggested using the prison realm for time travel so EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE they just have to go as far as they can without using it first so they can learn what to do the next time, yeah? I also had a dream about this and Gojo told me that Sukuna didn't feel the time loop, but the rest of us knew it was our second time (at least) going back and trying to defeat him. Which doesn't mean that I'm right but it was nice ok 😭
Theories that have been proven right or wrong by now
-I've been saying from the beginning that Yuuji and Sukuna share a common ancestor and that's why he can be a vessel. I was right!! But I didn't know he was also born with a fingie
-sukuna has six eyes (this has since been disproven but I used to think so)
-the way that RCT works between two people
CHAPTER 261 SPOILERS ON THIS NEXT ONE but I hope ur caught up by now.
-yuta should use as many techniques as possible in Gojo's body bc when Gojo returns to it, then he will be able to learn them as well. Kenjaku was able to retain techniques from his previous bodies, so even if all he transfers is the copy technique, that's fkn useful too.
-there is no chemistry between Yuki and Choso. That concept feels fucking forced and gives me the ick so hard.
-yuki is a terrible influence. She has good intentions, but she isn't present enough to be helpful - showing up in shibuya after Mahito was absorbed, for example. Not keeping in touch with the sorcerers who were involved in that. Not to mention the shit with Geto. She started the whole "what kind of woman is your type" thing and it's her fault that todo beats people nearly to death for giving an answer that doesn't match his own stupid taste (it took several watches for me to forgive todo for beating up megumi tbh)
-todo is also Kenjaku's son, and possibly Yuki - tho yuki is more vibes than evidence. All of Kenjaku's confirmed kids have a strong resolve, and false memories with Yuuji. But I think that kenjaku, in a male body, would be a total slut. His motivation for anything is that maybe it'll be interesting, or funny, he's just here for a good time. I think that he wouldn't even know how many kids he has, and that by having an unknown number possibly out there, it would bring up unexpected sorcerers. The frame where kenjaku asks why don't you heal yourself and yuki says I don't want to... That feels confirmed for me but I know it isn't solid evidence.
-I think kenjaku set up yuki to meet todo bc that feels too sus as well but I forget my logic on that one lmaoooo everything is their fault tho

ohh i have SUCH a controversial jennifer jareau opinion. and this is probably gonna be more like an essay. i wish i could say i was sorry.
everyone always says theyre anti jj slander, which is fine ofc, but just weird bc i NEVER see anyone slandering her. in my 3 years in the fandom, ive seen it happen maybe 5 times total, which sucks because she deserves so. much. more. hate.
(spoilers for *that* jeid plotline, as well as some other things)
in season 7, spencer tells her that she has mean girl vibes and she replies "i was a nice girl, especially to guys like you" which ALWAYS pissed me off because she literally just confirmed what he said? and everyone acts like it was a funny joke. she said that shit with her whole chest and meant it, and it wouldnt be *that* big of a deal if it was the only time. but shes consistently mean to him throughout the show, ignoring him, walking away, etc. spencer isnt even the only one shes like this to. and she just has a sense of superiority, idk how to describe it. just by the way she talks and interacts with those around her, you can tell. (while we're on that note, she also ignores her privileged a LOT. maybe not all the time, but theres been multiple times where she acts like she went through hell to get where she is. other than her sister passing, she had it completely easy. in terms of resources, opportunities, etc., she was basically born with a golden spoon in her mouth.)
in s14 when she confesses to spencer that shes always been in love with him, it just makes my blood boil. obviously he had been over her a long time (imo), but that was something she should've kept to herself bc it just brought alllll those feelings back to the surface. not to mention that hes the godfather of her children, and shes married, and will probably (definitely) doesnt know how she feels. thats literally emotional cheating on her part, even though reid didnt reciprocate it, it was still wrong of her to be that close to him without will knowing how she really felt.
there are other things i dont like abt her too, but those are the main things and im trying to keep this as short as possible. but i literally cant stand her, shes by far my least favorite character, and everyone acts like shes an angel sent from heaven, when really shes just a privileged bitch.
i like JJ a lot (i want her to be my mom </3) but i do agree with several of your points - she's definitely not the worst character, each and every character has a list of flaws that we could make, so this by no means makes her the worst, but it does make me angry <3
i just rewatched that 'mean girl' episode!! she doesn't even hesitate before saying 'guys like you', which, you're totally right, means he was right, and she was definitely a mean girl in high school. or even if she didn't say any of it out loud, she was still silently judging 'guys like him' and in high school you can always tells who's silently judging you. they're teenagers. they're not silent about it. the nasty looks they give you?? oh man. but i do think that the blame for ignoring spencer needs to be placed on all of the team members, because they do it all the time too, it's not just her. she has some pretty bad moments with him, but it's definitely something they all do and she shouldn't take the full blame
lmao don't talk about jeid. the writers actually deserve the death penalty for that, god it was so nasty and weird. i know that it was something she confessed in the heat of the moment, like she wasn't sure she was gonna make it out alive and didn't wanna die without saying it but ??? WHY WOULD YOU PUT IT ON HIM TO DIE THREE SECONDS AFTER FINDING OUT ??? like great it's off your chest but now he's gonna spend the (very short) rest of his life thinking about it?? AND THEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN DIE LMFAO SO HE WAS JUST STUCK WITH THAT !! and yeah!! will!! what about will!! or her kids!! it was so... writers i'm watching you...
one scene of hers that really pissed me off was in reid's kidnapping two-parter in s2 (the hankel incident) where she was almost attacked by those rabid (?) dogs and she shot them and she's obviously shaken up and she tries finding reid and realizes what happened and she feels so much guilt for splitting up with him - which was not her fault, she didn't know and should not be held responsible for what happened to him - that she started trying to make other people mad at her?? she cornered derek who was grieving and stressed at the loss of his best friend and they're both sleep deprived and she says something like 'admit it, you hate me, you think it's my fault' AND I???? GIRL. he is being so nice to you?? he was literally like oh honey if you need time off i know you're really shaken up and we can take care of this and and and AND SHE WAS LIKE oH yeah suRe just admit it i'm the worSt everybody hATEs mE- I WAS... this is not about you. go get therapy for the dog attack that you just almost suffered?? do not stand around a crime scene and pester the victim's best friend and delay the investigation because you're feeling guilty. go talk to someone about it. take a few days off. again, i totally get that she was shaken up and hopped up on adrenaline, but everyone told her to go get some rest and she was like no i think i will make myself the problem instead <3
all of that being said i still love her </3 i was not kidding when i say that i wish she was my mom holy shit i would have loved to grow up as her kid but she definitely has her flaws just like the rest of the BAU, and logical, critical breakdowns of a characters flaws aren't slandering, they're analysis, so i think everybody needs to stop shitting on people who criticize or analyze their faves lmao
send me your unpopular fandom opinions

Hello it is me again with the dose of long asks.
Shoko is a living terrarium in this world. Her body can photosynthesize and make the plants inside of her act like organs.
This is one of the reasons why Shoko uses they/them, it/its and identifies as agender. They do not feel like a single being, and they know that they would be done if the glass that protects the plants inside breaks. It feels as if it were not human enough or alive. And that... didn't feel that bad. Hence Shoko going hogwild in this department. Also bc it sounds so cool. 
Shoko has a cork seal on their back. They can pull the cork off, and water the plants inside. 
There was an incident where Peter B handed everyone lollipops. Shoko and Noir started to pretend they were cigarettes, and Peter B found it incredibly amusing. Legends say there is still a photo of that in his phone. 
Canon JJK states that Nanami's favorite food is sandwiches. So imagine him in Nueva York making these as a midnight snack. But some people find out and "accidentally" wake up to share it with him. Especially Ham. Their body just sleepfloats into the kitchen as they smell fresh bread. Nanami isn't too happy, but it is nice to see people smile.
(Shit I forgot to mention, Nanami being 25 percent Danish is canon info)
For some reason, everyone does not seem to call Nanami by his given name, Kento. Shoko still calls Satoru and Suguru by their family names, and Yu and Nanami calls SaSiSu by their family names bc he is their junior. 
Imagine Nanami meeting Eve for the first time. Eve is very happy to meet someone who has the same skin condition as her, while Nanami has mixed feelings of meeting the person he's been compared with for a long time.
(This has zero grounding in canon JJK) Nanami's parents/family each had the ability of being able to cut through things without scissors and being able to measure things without a ruler. Hence their child's powers.
Nanami is a Protestant Christian, since it is the dominant religion of Denmark. He isn’t religious, but he often says his blessings before dinner with Miles and Gwen since they are both Catholic. (Tbh none of them are super religious, but do so bc they are all homesick on various levels, and bc they saw Pav, Noir and possibly Peni do their own prayers after dinner.)
Yu's sister begged her brother to also take her to Nueva York, since she had a teeny bit of his powers. Yu strongly opposed this as a responsible brother. He thanked his own actions later after realizing how much of a shithole Nueva York was.
Yu seems like the person who wants to help people using his powers. So when his powers gave friends and/or family lung damage, he was extremely upset at himself, and wanted to go to Nueva York to learn to control his ash powers. 
All of the JJK gang have special interests. Satoru likes astrophysics, Suguru is a philosophy nerd, Shoko is interested in Medicine and human anatomy, Nanami is a lit person, and Yu likes tokusatu kid TV shows.
Nanami and Yu have undiagnosed Autism and ADHD respectively. Nanami talks in a monotone voice, seems to be mostly expressionless (although he occasionally smiles), gives off jokes with a straight face and I believe if Dodo is autistic, his relative Nanami could be autistic too. Yu… (the vibes. It’s all in the vibes.) They both didn’t have much problems at school, so they never got diagnosed until being put into Nueva York. 
Nanami as a result uses internal scripts when communicating with people. Or he just ignores them, since many of his peers at school were pretty mean to him due to his skin, his heritage and powers. Now he’s surrounded by a much more supportive group, but he still can’t drop the habit yet.
Suguru, although coming off as nicer than Satoru, is quite mean at times too, making snarky comments. This made Hobie hate the two even more (three if Shoko is included). Shoko even calls them "bastards” in JJK canon. (Maybe in this world, it would say that it is also a bastard, considering the scam they pulled off.)
Although Suguru and Satoru don't have curses to fight in this world, they often fight each other over minor things. It is banter and sometimes throwing hands. Quite a sight.
Speaking of throwing hands, Hobie had to teach everyone (except Noir, who already had some experience with street fighting) they knew would help in the Power Revolution how to do irl combat, since fighting supervillains or exorcising curses are not a thing in this world. It taught the gang to fight dirty as long as the injures that result aren't permanent or fatal. And the next thing they did was to figure out a new skillset bc the enemy knows what they can do. 
The results were wild. 
EG: Ham can now extend their power onto other people and buff their stats. For example, Ham thinks that Yu being able to poof into dust and teleport/superspeed like a Looney Toons character is funny. Now that ended up being in Yu's skillset. Or alter reality to a whole new level, for example by making the ground into soft marshmallow when someone was falling to their death.
Suguru can combine his contained powers to make a new one. Lighting, fire and water might be able to create a storm in a room. Or they can temporarily give powers to others, buffing them up. (Noir having ice shards in their wind can be more damaging than just wind, to make an example.)
Gwen can use notes drums to make more vibrations. Combine that with Hobie's guitar, it can have devastating effects.
Yu can now summon grass roots and use them to make his arms like SU Spinel. All sorts of grabbing and punching with extra damage.
Imagine Satoru having a mental breakdown after realizing that all this time, blues family/clan was treating blues like shit and not as a real person. Blue ends up creating a "realm" similar to Eve’s boss fight in Phase 5, band instead of being in a white void, it is just outer space, with stars everywhere. Everyone in the room except Suguru gets pinged out, freaking them out. Suguru has to talk to Satoru and tell him that he doesn't need to be the strongest and that people here don't see him as that. For them, blue is just Satoru. And that although he might be the strongest, now they won't have to face the world alone. This manages to relax Satoru enough that the realm disperses, with everyone else sighing in relief. And Pav commenting that he and his cousin had it worse before. 
Then they realized that some of them have nowhere to go/do not want to go home after they escape. (I like to think that Hobie just wanted to escape with Miles and co, but after this incident, switches plans to go for a full blown Revolution.) Peni (kit kinda has a home but kits sure does not want to live with kits uncle and aunt), Margo, Gwen to some extent, Satoru and Shoko (she has neglectful parents who didn't stop their kid from smoking as a minor, and possibly tried to marry them into an unhappy marriage.)
Miles finds Satoru aesthetically attractive, and has sketched blues a few times. (The best expressions came from when Satoru was with Suguru.) Also Yu. A lot more than a few times.
Speaking of which… Miles/Gwen/Yu? (GhostAshFlower) They both bounce off each other’s energy very well, and love seeing the bright side of everything!
The counselors of Nueva York had to make another category for SaSiSu: Keter. (Taken from the SCP Foundation.) This is bc of their actions and the severity of their powers. (Yu is High-Mid while Nanami is also High-Mid.)
Meta: I love how this entire AU is just everyone saying “Nah. Imma do my own thing.” Maybe it’s rejecting societal expectations, familial expectations, personal expectations, and so on. Miguel could not do that, and that led him into becoming a control freak. Liv decided to go through with those expectations to fulfill her selfish desires. Even more meta is that this AU is also breaking the canon of all the shows in various ways, and it’s either going cringe or going creative. Idk which.
WOOO I AM CRINGE AND FREE THANK YOU
Welcome back with the long ask! (also fun fact, I have all my answers, except maybe the first one, of all these NSRxJJK asks on one document and it's up to 24 pages lol)
-Terrarium: That’s a pretty neat concept and reasoning as to why Shoko feels agender. I do think it would be fine if its glass cracked a little bit. That would be like how Nova’s glass cracks but would heal over time. However, fully breaking would definitely be a problem. Nova just has to worry about their head, Shoko on the other hand has to worry about its entire body. So it being more careful about their body is a lot more understandable than Nova with just his head.
Having to grapple with two very different elements as well (glass and plant, possibly three if you want to add some kind of light elemental) is also something that would help push Shoko into having weird feelings about their body and self. I think that would be similar to being a visually mixed person from our universe probably. I don’t know though.
Anyway, the cork on the back is also a cool idea! I wonder if it was natural or not. I can see either Shoko being born with it and it always being a part of their body, but I can also see it as something else. Either the cork was one of the plants that grew inside Shoko that naturally formed when Shoko’s back cracked open, and so is not a resealable part of their body, or it was an accommodation for Shoko after an accident and no matter how much time passed the wound would never close so the cork was put in there as like a place holder (cork is a natural bark type thing so it was the closest thing for Shoko’s body to recognize and accept).
As for the watering plants, I don’t think that is a necessary thing Shoko would have had to naturally do. Just eating and drinking would have given the proper water and nutrients to the plants inside its body, however, because there is a cork and direct access to Shoko’s plant innards, watering them and taking care of them directly is an option that can help Shoko out a lot more (so like manually pruning plants or something instead of waiting for their body to naturally take care of decaying leaves is an option Shoko has compared to other people who might be in a similar terrarium situation like Shoko).
-Lollipop: Eating lollipops actually seems to be a good way to reduce cravings for cigarettes, at least a little bit, so I can definitely see Noir and Shoko eating them more than others and at some point they realize they look like they are smoking and the two start to hold their pops like cigarettes and pretend to flick the ashes off and are just laughing while they play cigarette charades together.
Peter B would definitely try and find those candy cigarettes for the two to have fun while also eating some candy (which I can see the other arachnikids wanting to try them as well, some think the candy cigarettes are absolutely gross and stick with lollipops instead). Hobie also partakes in the candy replacements for cigarettes. The photo is definitely one that Peter B has and has to make sure Miguel doesn’t see it one day (and maybe Mary Jane if he gave Mayday Parker a little candy cigarette lol, if he didn’t you better believe Hobie did!)
-Sandwhiches: Ham just making a Scooby-Doo looking sandwich that is over a foot tall and eating it with Nanami. I don’t know what other sandwiches the others would eat, but some are eating regular sandwiches with meat and condiments, some are eating like fancy cucumber sandwiches, I can see a couple really goopy grilled cheeses being made. 
Everyone having a good time but also kinda being grossed out by some of the combinations of sandwiches people eat. Like the fact that Hobie probably put butter on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for the first time thinking that is how Americans would eat it and is disgusted by it asking why Miles or Gwen likes this kind of rubbish only for them to say that butter is not supposed to go on that kind of sandwich (saw this kind of thing on tiktok lol, love seeing how different cultures react to different food norms).
-Family names: I’ll be honest, I thought Nanami was his given name and Kento was his surname. The wiki seems to keep switching them it looks like. Like the wiki says Kento Nanami and uses Nanami when referring to him so I thought Nanami was his given name. But then I see the little box with Nanami Kento, so yeah, I just got confused lol. It must have been weird seeing me be so formal with Kento, calling him by his surname while everyone else I was using their given names! XD (gonna now have to try and remember to call him Kento instead of Nanami lol).
Wait, so does that mean Shoko calls Satoru by Gojo and Suguru by Geto? Yu and Kento make sense why they would call SaSiSu by their family names, but I would have thought Shoko would have been close enough friends to call Satory and Suguru by given names. I will be honest though, I don’t know the culture of names in Japan all that well, so maybe this is actually really normal and I, as an American, just think it is weird to me (when it is not weird at all).
-Eve and Kento: Oh Eve would be thrilled to find another person with a similar skin condition to her outside of her family. I don’t think she would bring it up at all, because she hated when people brought up her skin at his age (and even older) but she would just be really happy to see another person not related to her with a similar condition.
Kento though, yeah he would definitely have mixed feelings. On one hand, this is just another person. Someone who had no idea who he was and the only thing connecting him to her is a similar skin condition. On the other hand, always being compared to her and never truly getting to be himself because people look at him and immediately think of a super famous megastar who acts weird, loopy, and out there is not something that would always be a joy.
I’m sure if he got to know Eve more any negative feelings that stem from past incidents of being compared to her would go away. Especially if he can get advice from her on how to handle being comfortable in his own skin instead of hating himself for it.
-Kento Parent Powers: Heck yea! Random headcanons with no backing from canon! Love to see it!
I honestly believe with these powers, Kento’s parents would make amazing construction workers or even technicians. I can see them being so proud of little kid Kento who is able to cut things and also measure things, but then they realize he can only do it at a 3-7 split. They probably got super disappointed and tried to see if Kento could do more or not, but were unsuccessful.
It probably hurt Kento a bit seeing his parents disappointed. I’m sure they tried to hide it, but he ended up seeing it anyway and so found creative ways to make his unique power work for him.
-Food Prayer: I do think it does depend on the meal itself. Like for breakfast I can see Gwen and Miles not saying a prayer at all, maybe Gwen will give a quick thanks, but she and Miles say their main prayer at dinner together. They would be happy to pray with Kento if he wanted to.
I think Kento, Yu, and the SaSiSu group would also say “itadakimasu” before most meals. Maybe Kento combines that and a more Christian prayer together in a combined culture/tradition kind of way or something.
Noir I can see as always, or as often as they can, giving the proper prayer or blessing for food before and after eating. Pav also says a blessing for the food he is about to eat.
I can see Peni being in a weird area with all of this. Because honestly I can see kit never really having done any kind of blessing, prayer, or thank you all that much other than major holidays, and even now kit really hadn’t done that. Seeing other Japanese people say itadakimasu and other Jewish people say blessings that she doesn’t really do probably makes her feel a bit weird and out of place at times. I can see kit trying to start doing prayers or giving thanks like kit is seeing everyone else do, but would be awkward about it and have to wonder why kit feels like this (it is most likely related to how kit accidentally killed kits own father and how that affected kits religious beliefs).
-Yu’s Sister: I honestly doubt his sister would even be allowed to go if her powers weren’t seen as a threat, or were at least under decent control for her age. But yes, she is lucky that Yu opposed it so much and made sure she wasn’t somehow allowed to tag along. (whenever he can he probably calls or video chats with her, which is probably not often because of timezones and sleep schedules since the like average time difference from Mexico to Japan would be about 9 hours).
-Yu’s Power: Oh it is absolutely horrifying to see someone not be able to breath (or to not be able to breath yourself) and think you are going to die. Absolutely horrifying, scary, and honestly something I never want to experience again (as someone with Asthma, thankfully I only had one Asthma attack strong enough to make me think I was actually suffocating and I never want to feel that again).
That being said, Yu, once he realized what his powers could potentially do, would absolutely be terrified to use them again. Especially if he literally saw people suffocating because of his ashes. I can see HIM begging to go to Nueva York so he would never do something like that again (and those were just short term problems, we have no idea what long term problems Yu’s powers could end up doing to someone).
-Special interests: Oh those are all really good interests! The only one I have something to add really is Yu’s with kids TV shows. It would be funny if he knew some English (or any other language) because he watched a kids TV show in the native language. Kinda like how some people learn how to speak other languages from watching shows and movies in different languages. Don’t know why that was something I thought of but it was.
Actually, also I guess it would be funny if Satoru had read some of Nova’s papers that had been translated into Japanese. Definitely would want to talk directly to Nova to ask about his papers at some point. Maybe learns Maylay just to do this, or like Swahili or English. Literally any language so that he can directly talk to Nova about this stuff (and then finds out Nova knows some Japanese thanks to the Sayu Crew)
-Autism and ADHD: Purl and Kento. The two are shaking their extremely autistic hands together. Dodo is also probably autistic honestly. Also, good for those two for not struggling in school (or at least not having problems in school)!
-Internal Scripts: Honestly I feel this. I always try to make a script when talking or something, otherwise my anxiety gets to me (so different but similar). Hopefully Kento can let his guard down and unmask more now that he has more support (while still being able to do his quirky stuff that makes him feel safe like making scripts).
-Bastards: Hobie would definitely get annoyed at some of the mean spirited comments when they are directly at people like… “lower” than them. That isn’t the right word, like. People who can’t stand up for themselves! That’s a better way to put it. Because Hobie is definitely also snarky and can be pretty mean as well, but they also know when to uplift and help others (while still being snarky). 
And yeah, I can see Shoko calling the two bastards still, but kinda refusing to see that it is also a bastard at the same time. Kinda being a hypocrite or in denial of what it did during the scam (which is just it trying to deny how badly it hurt someone. That isn’t something it is really ready to confront yet and so puts a lot of the blame/meanness onto Satoru and Suguru, and others).
-Throwing hands: Hobie would definitely have to find a way to do this without tipping off Miguel or any of the counselors because it is one thing to do fighting as exercise, it’s another to teach street fighting and how to fight dirty. Especially if Hobie is teaching it since they have been trying to start shit in Nueva York since day one. Maybe Peter B. was able to get Hobie some free time outside and the whole gang were able to hang out outside of Nueva York where these little training sessions take place.
As for all the buffs and combined powers, those are all super interesting! Honestly I would love it if Miles was the one who suggested it. Because honestly I can see Hobie trying to teach everyone how to fight (maybe Pav already had some experience with controlled fighting styles and was able to show off some cool moves on how to redirect attacks or something as well), but everyone just wanted to fight each other in practice. No one thought to combine powers or anything like that until Miles chimed in thinking it would be cool to do so.
And that is how we got all those cool power combinations, and even more!
-Satoru’s Realm: It would be kinda cool if Pav had to be the one to escort Suguru into Satoru’s mind because of his powers, but it also makes sense that Satoru would just want everyone out and away from blue except the person blue trusted the most, Suguru.
Either way, Suguru would have been able to help Satoru relax like you said. I don’t honestly think Pav would compare traumas and powers, at least not right after that moment. Actually, he probably would. Trying to make the mood lighter or something, so it was said in a jokey kind of manner but it probably would have been received in a little bit of poor taste. 
Though honestly, Pav and Satoru could now try to help each other with this as Satoru never really had a realm before. So now Pav and Satoru, with supervision from counselors (probably Olivia), are allowed to try and make small realms to get better control of their powers.
-Nowhere to go: Pav just going to Vinyl City to see Eve and Remi with a bunch of these friends like a parade of homeless teens looking for help lol /j
But honestly, I can see a lot of them following each other trying to figure out where to go from here after the revolution. Margo would probably follow Hobie, especially if she was able to get her parents permission (which would be easy). Gwen would try to follow Miles and if that didn’t work (because of Miles parents or something), she would follow Hobie to Vinyl City (since that is where Ex-Jay is and Hobie really just wants to see its friends before doing anything else).
Peni is probably stuck in a weird spot again. Not wanting to go to kits aunt and uncle but also not really being able to just run away like how Gwen is doing. Honestly, if Peni is able to somehow figure out Asa is faer cousin, that would give Peni more autonomy to try and not go back to faer aunt and uncle (like saying kit wants to be closer to kits maternal side). This would mean Peni could travel with Hobie and Gwen to Vinyl City and Asa would help out Peni as much as he could.
Noir is most likely gonna go and hang out with Ham. Ham is probably the only one of the arachnikids (other than Miles) who has a loving place to go home, and Ham and Noir are definitely good enough friends that Ham would invite Noir to crash as her place for a while.
Miles goes home but tries to figure out a way to go to Vinyl City (like the college, music, and tech stuff there) so he can be closer to Gwen before her dad ends up finding her. 
SaSiSu just like, don’t go back home. Suguru could go back home, but I don’t see him leaving Satoru, and Satoru can’t just crash as Suguru’s place. Blues family would be so fast to try and get their kid back (and force blue into living a shitty controlled life).
Yu and Kento go home. Definitely nothing is going to stop Yu from seeing his little sister again and I’m sure Kento would love to see his fam again even if sometimes they don’t see eye to eye.
-Miles’ Drawings: Miles is probably gonna need a lot more sketchbooks because he is definitely filling them up quickly with all the inspiration he has around him at the moment lol.
-GhostAshFlower: With how grumpy and moody Gwen was at the beginning of the second movie (for good reasons) having two constant rays of sunshine around her would be a really good thing. Also Yu going “Hi! This is my boyfriend Miles! And his girlfriend Gwen! :D”
-Ranking: Yo! That is literally how I was able to come up with the ranking system for Nueva York lol! I love SCP so much and was a direct inspiration for the ranking system.
I wouldn’t say they would make a new category, but those three would definitely be the highest of the high most dangerous. If they do make a new category it would probably be an additional thing like “Extreme” or “Caution” added into the notes/title/ranking in the system. Really the ranking system is for categorization and easy filing. So adding an extra extreme or caution would be a better idea than having a whole new category for only three members (because then you have to go in and see if anyone else fits that kind of category which is just more work and it can be done but honestly people don’t want to do extra work lol).
Also Yu and Nanami seem about right. Maybe Nanami is just mid (lol) at the moment because he hasn’t actually shown he can cut people into 3-7 splits yet. Once Nueva York realizes that is a part of his power you better believe he is going from mid to high immediately.
-Meta: lol, who cares if this is cringe or not. Literally just say “Nah. Imma do my own thing” and keep making this cringe if it makes you happy! It’s making me happy! I don’t see this as cringe because of that lol! It’s a super fun AU and does show how people can fall into expectations. Some people are happy with it (like Liv), some people aren’t (like how Peni, Gwen, and all the other spiders weren’t happy with their canon storylines in the movie), and some want to write their own story! Sometimes expectations are good, but not when they start to control and make you unhappy (*coughMiguelcough*).
Anyway, this was all really good! Cringe or not! Having a fun and safe place to talk about some silly AU like this is the type of environment I want to keep making! Cringe culture should be dead! (it isn’t but we just need to keep killing it lol)

your seventeen as different marching instruments is so accurate LMFAO as an ex marching kid myself i was giggling sm (i was front ensemble switched to battery) AND IM NGL JEONGHAN LOWK GIVES MAJOR FLUTE VIBES BUT SWITCHED TO PICCOLO BC ITS “LIGHTER” and mayb i’m biased but woozi could be that one packed member who looks like he wouldn’t play tenor drum but is the only one who has the back strength to hold one BECAUSE HAVE WE SEEN HIS MUSCLES GODDAMN either that or he plays drumset bc he gets to “sit down” and LOL i can see DK as a bass drummer LOL he’s so kind and innocent i feel battery has at least one innocent kid that they slowly corrupt (but honestly i could see him playing the mellophone too he’s lowk brass coded)
omg there's so much to unpack here
first and foremost i have the utmost respect for ppl who switch from front ensemble to battery bc like idk you gotta learn marching and basics and it's js gross lmao
OKAY SO I WAS GONNA SAY JEONGHAN WAS A CLARINET/FLUTE -> PICCOLO (he would be an absolute menace with that instrument) but idk smth was tugging at my heartstrings to say mallets but i totally get what you mean like he wants the least amount of work and what's better than marching the lightest instrument in the band? i'm a flute player and i throw my flute around on the field like it's nothing since it's so light and jeonghan would def hit people on the head with his flute/piccolo. HELLO HE WOULD HAVE IT AS HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ITEM IN HIS HAND ON THE FIELD THAT'S SO CUTE
omg woozi reminds me of our current drumset player. he's rlly good and wants to switch to battery but our director isn't letting him lmao but he's always hanging out with the battery kids and plays on their instruments. woozi would 100% choose drumset simply bc he gets to sit down but wait until he has to load his cart on the truck on show days 💔 (completely unrelated but last winter season one of our senior tenor players got socked in the balls in the middle of a rep bc his harness was broken and our group is too broke to get it properly fixed and he had to lie down on the floor for the rest of the rehearsal and why... do i see that happening to woozi as a tenor player)
see, i would agree abt DK being bass, but our entire battery is utterly, completely irresponsible and have absolutely no discipline and lowkey act like dicks (esp the basses–no offense to you op it's js the ppl at my school lol) so i js can't.. imagine dokyeom as a bass player. he's far too sweet and polite to be a battery member imo 🥲 although if he joined as a freshman, he could def be corrupted and "brainwashed" as my director likes to call it lmao. AND YES HE'S SO BRASS CODED. LIKE MELLO SUITS HIM SO WELL. pls i can imagine him playing french horn in the band room during concert season in a cute, academia outfit with glasses and everything i'm sobbing.

Thoughts on some unexplored pairings in s5? Would you want to see any of these?
El and Nancy
Will and Steve
Joyce and Lucas
Hopper and Robin
Dustin and Jonathan
el and nancy interacting would just be girlboss2girlboss communication. el paraded around in nancy's clothes in s1 and thought she was pretty so already i want them to interact so that el can see what a Woman Wanting Independence and Selfhood^tm looks like, but i know that they will undoubtedly at least in passing interact bc el's got her powers back, knows all about henry, and nancy's got to tell them about her vision and took the leadership role, too, while they were gone and i don't think she'll relinquish it and suddenly go quiet. but! i do think it'd be cool for them to be in a fight sequence together. nancy with her gun n el doing her jedi mind tricks. the usual, u kno.
will and steve aka mr steal yo girl + mr struggle <3 jk they are both mr struggle, but will very much less so bc at least the boy he wants wants him back and he's just too blind to see it unlike steve who doesn't realize his dream is nancy's nightmare n thought he somehow still had a chance jus cos they were talking again LMAOOOOO L sorry, steve. teehee. anyway i think it's kinda funny that steve got roped up into all of this bc of will and yet... they've never Once said anything 2 each other. like, at all. unless u count the group responding to him when they're sneaking through scoops ahoy's backdoor as an interaction, but i don't. i would like to see it jus bc i'm so curious how the duffers think they'd interact with each other but i doubt we'll get it. sadge</3
joyce and lucas ok. did mike call the byers when will wasn't at school and then weasel his way inside to stay by will's side even at the lab? yes. but lucas went to the gate BY HIMSELF with only a SLINGSHOT and some POCKET LINT! joyce is a mama bear ok she has enough love to go around n i feel like she can have scenes that aren't with hopper without her fucking dying or smth. let her interact with anyone else please for the love of byIer 🙄 and lucas is a sweetie so i think everyone should love n appreciate him always n forever all the time so. i'll take it<3 omg imagine them protecting n standing guard for the injured ppl in the monster war in s5... or joyce reassuring lucas about max in general since she has some experience when she almost lost will... i'd Ascend
hopper and robin. hmmmmmmm. see in my brain i could headcanon something between them but in canon? lol. i'm tired of the same people being paired up for the ENTIRE season so tbh i would welcome anything new and this would definitely be new!
dustin and jonathan give off the BIGGEST responsible big brother x annoying little brother vibes ever. their mini interaction in s2 when the junkyard crew meets up with j*ncy and dustin greets him + dustin literally sounding and acting like a little kid when he pushes jonathan out of the booth and says "LeT mE tRy, jOnAtHaN 😠😤" bc he wants to be the one to push the button is so funny to me lol. also, him calling their mom joyce instead of ms. byers is just... lmao. okay, dustin. clearly, they amuse me so yes i would love to see them!
in general, if it's a pairing that hasn't ever interacted before or has interacted only once for two seconds, my answer is always goign to be Yes I Want To See Them bc gah daMN all them characters in that ensemble and for WHAT? to show the same team up every time? cringe. (except for byIer i want them paired up 24/7 forever. or else.)

Elaborating because I have a specific thing in mind now:
So this was prompted because I had pulled up a random playlist before going to work on my tddk fic and sober by fidlar came on. I decided to work on an argument scene first but them went -but what if fuyumi? So this is what has set the vibe. I then thought of her singing the song. I see a lot of rebellious touya and natsuo who introduce it to shouto, but what if fuyumi.
So, I'm just gonna give a rundown of what I'd do if I wrote this, as I do often. (Also, as I do often, no afo because that's complicated and sad so I say no. And I'll be changing some other stuff as I see fit, entirely because I can and it's easier.) (Also, I'm using a lot of fanon and common fic tropes for this. So the beginning is ramped up for some extra strength angst to set everything off.)
First off, a big difference between this concept focused on fuyumi and not one of the boys is that she hits this phase as an adult. Meaning she has adult responsibilities she needs to keep in mind, but also adult money and practically unlimited freedom outside of her work hours.
So the fic starts with a rundown of how much fuyumi has been forced to be an adult since she was 12 and her mother was hospitalized, and how even before that she was treated different than her brothers and felt like she had to do everything to keep everyone together while simultaneously lacking the power to actually help anyone. It also shows shouto shutting everyone and everything out while natsuo gets more and more antagonistic. Shortly before shouto gets to UA her and natsuo have a huge argument as he starts one to many arguments with there father which leaves more messes for her and more abuse for their baby brother. She asks why he can't just leave it be and stop making it worse, he tells her that nothing she does to help ever actually helps, she tells him he never helps at all, he tells her she should just give up and calls her a suck up and an idiot, she tells him she's just trying to keep everyone from getting more hurt, he says none of it will bring back touya, she screams that at least she wasnt actively pushing for another sibling to be killed.
The whole situation is fvcked, they both took things way too far and neither of them deal with it. They end up just not talking at all afterwards.
So then shouto moves into the school dorms (UA is like that now because I prefer it. The rules are a lot more lax tho bc they dont have to worry about villain attacks. Shouto comes home for training on weekends.) Fuyumi starts her new teaching job, making it so shes out of the house most of the day. Natsuo is avoiding her and her dad has no reason to actually exist in the house when shouto's not home. So fuyumi is alone the whole week, and it's fine. Its somehow so much harder to get through the day when it should be easier without other people to look after, but she's fine. It's probably just her job being stressful.
Shouto's first weekend home. Theres screaming, her father is back because shouto is back and because her fathers back natsuos back to butt heads any chance he can. (A little note, this isnt really natsuo slander. They're all dysfunctional and blinded to the consequences of their actions. Natsuo thinks making their dad angry at him distracts him from shouto as it worked with touya. He doesnt consider the ways fuyumi deals with the fall out or how it affects their brother's training. He's also acting out due to anger and its worsened by how not angry fuyumi seems to be. Not an excuse but he doesnt see the full scope if it yet. He will tho dw)
The weekend passes and fuyumi feels like she's dying. But it's probably just a cold from one of the kids. She goes through another week, alone. She tries to push through the week as she always had, but it's so much harder to cook for one than it is for four, and the leftovers the week before had gone uneaten.
Eventually the weekend does come around, and she is not relieved. Their dad had been sent some sort of notice about shouto's performance at school and he was worse than usual. Fuyumi had spent the entire time leading up to shouto getting home flitting around trying to ensure there was nothing else that could set him off and trying to calm him down as much as possible. It doesn't help, she knows it.
Sunday, while endeavour isn't home, fuyumi and natsuo end up alone together after they both see eachother in a hallway. Their conversation starts awkward, maybe theyd both intended to apologize, for going too far if nothing else. It quickly devolves into another argument though, a misplaced word and a snippy responce snowballing into full on screaming. Fuyumi just wanted it all to stop while natsuo wanted her to see his way. At some point he told her she was an adult and she should act like it and move past clinging to her dad. she shot back that he was an adult too and should stop throwing tantrums, and he didnt have to forgive him but could at least stop trying to force a worse fight to justify himself.
They're loud enough that shouto comes to see what was wrong. Fuyumi immidiently switches to telling him everything is fine, they weren't fighting, nothing was wrong. It was just an overreaction, /i/ just went overboard when I shouldn't have. Natsuo is annoyed that she, like always, is placating and pretending instead of dealing with anything. So he tells her if it was just an overreaction she should apologize. And she stumbles around ot for a moment confused and kind of hurt he (as it seems to her) would use this to win an argument. But in the end she stops, and smiles and says she's sorry. Just like she always did with their dad. (The expression was exactly the same and it sent natsuo and shouto ~spiraling~. But we'll get to that later.)
So we're focusing on fuyumi so we're gonna jump a bit forward. She's invited for drinks after work and agrees for once, to avoid going home. She then agrees to go to a second bar and ends up going a bit overboard. She ends up outside a bar with heavy music playing. She likes it, she never listened to it as a teen since her father would have disapproved. But she needed some that didnt feel like it was boiling right now, which is how she found herself outside the side exit. She squatted down, hand to her head with the smallest amount of the coolest ice she could make coating her hand so she could press it to her head.
(I like the idea that fuyumi can control the temperature of her ice buf differently than her mom and natsuo. They can control it to make it denser and clearer and a bit colder or less cold, but fuyumi can only make hers super low. She had to work with a quirk counselor to get it low enough that it didnt burn people. She never had an im issue with it burning her though.)
She felt pleasantly fuzzy when she ignored the uneasiness of her stomach. She stood back up and leaned against the wall. There were a few people smoking further down the alley but no one else around. She went to go back inside and stumbled a little. A man called out to her looking very annoyed and ends up leading her back inside (telling her to follow him and not throw up as she did.) He held the door for her but didnt help her when she stumbled. He got her bottled water and called a cab for her, very irritated while he did it. She apologizes but he scoffs and tells her it's his job. He tells her she's going to overheat so she laughs and frosts over her skin. He tells her he meant she needs water and that was the opposite of helpful. She rolls her eyes and tells him he should of said that then. He tells her she isnt as smart as how she dresses and calls her a nerdy npc. They argue a bit and the taxi arrives. Before she gets in she asks what the bar is called, she likes the music.
(Kurogiri is not shirokumo in this. Or it's not brought up at least. He adopts shigaraki when he's a kid and owns a decent but very well liked bar. He let's his employees choose music)
It was, in fact, her first hangover. But they were no where near as bad as the stress headaches she got as a teenager, so it's fine.
22 14 19 24 (character ages at the start of the fic, fuyumi shouto natsuo touya/dabi)
I want to end with a jump forward in time by several years. Shouto has his friends over, all of them now in their early twenties. They're all talking about dumb things theyve heard people have done and fuyumi sighs while reminiscing and makes a comment about it. One of them asks if she has any dumb stories and she laughs because she did so many things she shouldn't of.
(And when she reveals them shouto is absolutly dumbfounded)
××××
(This is 2+ years old)
I think this would have touya as a teen runaway, changing his name to dabi while living on the streets. Fuyumi meets him several times and there are moments where she implicity trusts him in a way she should not be trusting a stranger. When he basically scolds her for this while she's drunk off her ass she apologizes and says he reminds her of her late brother (he definitly doesn't cry over that later).
He would eventually go to see the rest of his siblings, but not until after endeavour is arrested.
Also fuyumi would have to deal with being the "obsession" of toga for awhile. She is very confused by it, but kind of just ends up treating her like a little sister. (Toga makes a comment that she's real similar to dabi at some point, at which point dabi realizes she Knows and that was a threat to tell her.)
I want a fic where fuyumi snaps and has a rebellious phase. I feel like all her siblings have fics where they get to pull some shit and piss off their dad but fuyumi never does, but she deserves to.

Random headcanons I have about Bloomic characters part 1 ( Peepaws)
we are listing the peepaws first, aka Quest and Salocin, bc God told me to, he said so himself /j
THESE PROB DON'T MAKE SENSE
I am very bored and this is for fun hope yall enjoy it!
Salocin
I know for a fact Salocin is that grandparent that finds funny videos from facebook and sends it to you,
yk those cat videos that have like a voiceover with the most absurd voice, yea that
he knows the joke (truth) that parents take the money kids are given and to combat this system he says " shhh don't tell ( insert parent name), this is our top secret, agent ( insert kid name)"
I imagine it looks like a drug trade from a stranger's perspective
I headcanon him as a fun grandpa who indulges in his grandchildren's imaginations and games, he also sneaks candies bc YES
(more below)
when his kids brought their partners home he prepared an album with the most embarrassing photos, like those photos when a baby makes a mess
think plastered in baby food type of mess, yes he does this purposefully but all in good fun
my personal fav scenario is him going out to a club with the rest of the server, he is that one tiktok where the dad goes clubbing
his " back in my day..." are fun things he did while traveling, dumb adventures and funny mishaps, its never those lectures, yk which ones...
It was canonically confirmed he had game, so I imagine he was either like a charismatic kid everyone liked and swooned over or he was like a greaser who turned into a wholesome peepaw
( he is so wholesome I stan, Salocin for president)
Quest
Young Quest gives me the same vibes Johnny from Dirty Dancing does but minus the dancing
he probably saw the movie and secretly wished he could dance that well, omg mc and quest try to replicate the cry to me scene and just laughing at their mistakes but enjoying nonetheless
I wheeze at quests lack of knowledge at what a discord kitten is, he gives me the vibe that if he were gen z he would either be the kid that is so behind on memes or is just genuinely confused
probably both... tho he would try to learn bc of his friends, I can visualize xyx and toasty making a slideshow showing all the memes from these two decades, blooming school is back in session
He would just sit there, take notes and nod, he would def raise his hand bc some memes genuinely confusing but those two refuse to elaborate
Quest is canonically a smooth mf even though he would probably deny it. he was probably more flirty in his past, tho he was always polite towards whoever he was pursuing
he gives me the same vibe that one meme of a giant teddy bear with a tiny head
He has most likely debated doing slam poetry at one point in his life, but he is too shy to share his thoughts, especially since it's like an outlet for his feelings so it would be too personal to share
he acts like a dad even if he doesn't become one, standing in front of the tv, having a dog be his best friend, a grill master, you name it
he would probably get a tattoo with mc, or something to commemorate them
I AM BRAINROTTING ABOUT QUEST HAVING A TATTOO SLEEVE FULL OF FLOWERS TO HONOUR MC BC OF BLOOMIC
AN: Thank you for reading this far, I promise I am alive, the well part is debatable, but I digress, I am most likely gonna upload a fic tmrw!
Have a wonderful day my lovelies!

What happens when the bakusquad babysits Katsuki’s daughter? (Dad! Katsuki Bakugo x Mom! Reader) Headcanons + One-shot
Tumblr media
ೃ pairing: (dad! katsuki bakugo x mom! reader)
ೃ  warnings: none
ೃ genre: fluff overload, parent fic/hcs
ೃ word count: 5,141 words
ೃ 1/4 of @bukojuiice’s 800 followers special!
ೃ  my nav  →  my mha writing masterlist  → my katsuki bakugo x reader smau
ೃ   A  sequel in the form of headcanons + one-shot to my dad! Bakugo fic “like the soul of honey” I recommend reading that first before going through this! Don’t worry if you don’t want to though! Both are standalone and not really connected with each other. 
ೃ   This was originally just going to be headcanons, but I didn’t want to keep writing it in hcs style halfway through so be treated to both headcanons + a one-shot instead! as you can tell already, this was so so much fun to write and i felt so soft after writing this uwu
ೃ  shoutout to two of my loves @sparkykatsuki for coming up with this idea!  I just knew i had to do it bc i love bakusquad sm!! they give me such a serotonin boost and I find it really fun writing about them!! Thank you for having such big brain energy and for conspiring this concept franz!  And to @chibishae34​ bc i know she loves baby fics as much as I do HSHSHSH
ೃ   your daughter’s name is hikari which means light. bakugo thought of that name because light is essentially a part of his quirk and hikari is a part of him.
ೃ  please do reblog if you enjoyed!! (feel free to add tags too because i love reading them and my heart swells with happiness when people love my work!) ♡
Tumblr media
—  Hikari is blessed with the best uncles and aunts she could ever ask for!!
—  Both Bakusquad and Dekusquad take turns in helping you and Katsuki get your well deserved rest and relaxation at least once a month ever since Hikari turned 6 as... she became quite the feisty girl. Too feisty to handle actually.
—  She was energetic and playful 24/7. And so, it was hard to keep up with her energy most of the time.
—  She still remained kind and obedient yet she was also an absolute bundle of joy who would just run around the house, play with her toys, and go on roleplaying adventures with you and Katsuki. She had absolutely no idea how much she would tire you and Katsuki, however, and sometimes she would go on for hours and hours just running around the house and interacting with everything she sees.
—  She had an inquisitive mind, and although you always encourage her to be smart and be intrigued with everything, she tends to question almost everything she lays her eyes on and you end up having to come up with a witty and a very childlike answer for her to understand.
—  A good example of this is when she asked you ever so innocently about where babies come from and your husband was ABOUT TO TAKE HER QUESTION LITERALLY and give her the science talk about sexual reproduction. When the two of you agreed to only give her that talk when she turns 8 as she might not even entirely understand it in the first place.
—  “Mommy, Daddy, where do babies come from?”
—  “I guess it’s time for the talk.” Bakugo shrugs, remarking sternly. He takes his daughter’s little hand in his and bringing her to the living room. “You see, Hikari, babies come from the wo-”
—  “Storks!” You cut Bakugo off before he could say another word, nudging him on the elbow. “Hikari-chan, the babies are brought down to this world by the white and strong birds in the sky!” You whisper the last bits of information to her ear. “The storks told me that once you get older, they’ll tell you the secret of where they actually pick up the babies.”
—  “Really!?” She says in disbelief, her eyes gleaming in excitement. “YAY! YAY! YAY! I can’t wait!” She goes back to running around the house looking for even more things to ask about and you breathe a sigh of relief as soon as she leaves.
—  Although it was nice that you are able to bond as a family, it does get pretty tiring sometimes. Of course your weariness is worth the risk if it’s just to see Hikari smile.
Tumblr media
— Especially since you and Bakugo were both pro-heroes (although you mostly do stand by pro hero work meaning you work from home almost all the time.) You found it much more enriching if both you and bakugo are guiding her and working together to create a loving and supportive family for Hikari.
— Both of your respective friend groups, whomst you remained close to ever since high school, noticed how the both of you looked tremendously exhausted and looked like you were in dire need to have 9 cups of coffee every time you would meet up with each other in between your pro hero duties.
—  And so both squads came into an agreement, that they would help the two of you out by giving you a 48 hour day off every month to do whatever the heck married couples do as they would babysit Hikari and have fun.
—  This was also a great way to get closer with their niece even if they dote on her so much already.  As you and Bakugo are the first persons in your friend groups who got married and have a child together.
—  This month, the Bakusquad is in charge of taking care of Hikari and just from the fact that Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina and Sero are going to babysit your daughter alone, you know it’s going to be chaotic.
—  Things didn’t go swimmingly last time (literally), as only Kirisihima and Kaminari were the only ones available the last time they came to babysit. They took Hikari to a community pool, and she came back with a missing tooth and some scratches on her legs from playing too much. Katsuki was NOT pleased and you had to restrain your husband from trying to obliterate his best friends even if Hikari had little to no injuries and it was normal for kids her age to have these things happens to them at least once in their childhood.
—  With your assurance and the look that was on Hikari’s face and how she would not shut up about how she loved spending time with Uncle Eijiro and Uncle Denki, Katsuki eventually let it slide and just gave his friends the usual “Katsuki Bakugo treatment” where he acts cold and angry at them, paired with his easily irritated and idgaf attitude.
—  This month however, was going to be different because Mina and Sero are finally joining along and making sure that Hikari has the best weekend since they weren’t able to babysit last time.
—  Hikari loved her Aunt Mina because she would braid her hair and style her with different cute outfits that only Mina, with her love for fashion and all things girly and pink could attempt to do and end up doing perfectly. She also taught Hikari all the dances to disney songs and nursery rhymes she knows how to do so far. Hikari affectionately refers to her Aunt Pinkie whenever Mina isn’t around.
—  Kirishima, who was the most frequent to visit the 3 of you, out of all of the Bakusquad, considers Hikari as his new #1 best friend. Dethroning and kicking her very own father from that spot. Hikari is a much more gentle and sweet version of her explosive father, and so Eijiro is able to interact and play with Hikari because he already knows Bakugo and his mannerisms very well. Hikari calls him Uncle Sharkie and she always asks her dad about how he and Kirishima became such good friends. To which Katsuki would reply with, “It’s a long story princess.”
—  Kaminari was the fun uncle. He always gave off those vibes ever since high school anyway. Giving Hikari candy behind Katsuki’s back (although you made sure Kaminari didn’t give her any that were tooth rotting sweet ones) Buying her ice cream whenever he came to drop by, and bringing her to the nearby playground amongst many other things. He spoils her a lot (in a good way) and Hikari calls her the fun “sparkie” uncle.
— Then, there was Sero. He retained his love for Spiderman since he was a kid, and he was able to pass that on to Hikari. His way of playing with her was cute since Sero is super tall, he would let Hikari ride on his shoulders, trying to imitate airplane noises as they would “fly” around the house. He gifted Hikari some child-friendly comic books for you and Katsuki to read to her before. bed. Although she never fails to say that the best heroes are her mommy and daddy. She calls Sero her Uncle Spidey.  
—  Uncle Sharkie, Uncle Sparkie, Aunt Pinkie, and Uncle Spidey. The Holy Quaternity.
(One-shot starts below this!)
“AUNT MINA! UNCLE EIJIRO! UNCLE DENKI! UNCLE SEROOO!” Hikari rushes to the door as soon as she hears the doorbell ring, she jumps into Eijiro’s arms and the red-haired pro hero twirls her around. The rest of the Bakusquad forms a circle around her, and can’t help but look at her adoringly.
“How’s my little ball of sunshine!?” Mina squeezes Hikari’s cheekies, earning giggles from the little girl. “I’m fine Aunt Mina! I mished chu!” She begins to talk in a cute accent as she just can’t contain her excitement.
“Hikari-chan! Do you still remember our little handshake?” Sero kneels down to the little girl’s height, offering her his hand. The little girl nods, shakes it and their thumbs twiddle together, as if they were thumb wrestling. They do a few more quirky hand shakes and then end it with a bang by saying “BOOM!” Sparks suddenly fly out from Hikari’s hands, her aunt and uncles coo since noticing how much her quirk has developed ever since they started babysitting.
“Okay you two!” Mina turns to you and Katsuki, as she had noticed you had some distinct luggage packed for a quick hot spring getaway, she practically pushes the two of you out of the door when Katsuki stops in his tracks, turning to his friends.
He glares at them and points his fingers to his eyes in a “I’m watching you” type of gesture. “Not one single scratch on her or all of you are dead to me.”
Kaminari laughs, patting his friend on the back, “We gotchu buddy. Your little ball of sunshine is safe in our hands. She’ll have the best time with us!”
Hikari quickly runs to you and Katsuki, giving you both a tight hug. “We love you Hikari. We’ll just be gone for two days oki? Your uncles and your aunt here will keep you safe this weekend alright? We love you!” You peck her lightly on the cheek, a pout forming on your daughter’s face.
“I’ll miss you Mommy. Daddy.” She doesn’t let go, hugging the two of you even tighter. “I loaf you! See you soon!”
“Be a good girl okay Hikari?” Katsuki kneels down to meet his daughter’s eyes, orbs that were as passionate as his, planting a kiss on her forehead. “We’ll miss you kiddo.”
You could hear Kaminari and Sero silently snicker in the background since they still can’t wrap their head around the fact that their friend could become so soft when in front of his child as opposed to his usual rough demeanor he shows to everyone else.
Katsuki wraps his arm around your waist, holding you tightly, with you dragging along the luggage that the two of you were going to bring on this trip. You bid your final goodbyes with ease and relief, knowing that your daughter will be in “safe hands” the entire weekend.
“We’re going to have so much fun!” Mina squeezes Hikari and the rest of the  Bakusquad into a hug. “What do you want to do first Hikari-chan?”
“Oh! Um! I don’t know if I should ask this b-but..” The blonde little girl hides her hands in her pockets, her feet tapping the floor. “I actually want to know how Mommy and Daddy met! Not the marry or the lovey thing! Just how they met and fell in love!”
“Hikari-chan!! You’re so cuteeeeeeee!” Kaminari begins to weep crocodile tears, pulling Hikari into another hug. “If that’s what you want to do for today, then we’ll gladly tell the story of how your mom and dad met!”
The Bakusquad formed and sat in a circle on the floor. Hikari was sitting on Mina’s lap as the latter braided her hair into what was called a Fishtail braid. Kirishima, with the help of Sato, baked some chocolate chip cookies a few days ago for all of them to snack on while they babysit Hikari.
Sero clears his voice and begins the story. “Your mom and your dad met each other in High School. Along with all of us and your Uncle Izuku, Uncle Tenya, Uncle Shoto, Aunt Ochaco, Aunt Tsuyu-” He continues to recall the names of all the other people Hikari know and love. “They were total opposites actually.”
“O-opposithes?” Hikari tilts her head, a puzzled look on her face as she tries to process what her Uncle Sero had just said. “D-does that mean that Daddy didn’t like Mommy?”
“It’s not like that Hikari-chan. Don’t worry.” Kirishima saves Sero from making the little girl misinterpret what he had just said, nudging his raven-haired friend in the arm. “It’s just that your dad was hot-headed and angry all the time, but he fell in love with your mom because she was sweet, patient and understanding!” Kirishima reiterates, a soft look on his face, looking back on the sweet sentimental memories of high school. “They were perfect for each other!”
“Oh! So daddy was angy all the time? Since mommy is really nice she told Daddy to be nice and they fell in love!?”
Mina giggles, continuing to style Hikari’s hair. “Yes Hikari-chan. That’s exactly what happened! You’re so good!”
“I am!?” Yay!” She claps her hands together, a wide smile present on her face, she was becoming more and more intrigued. “Tell me more please!”
“Well...” Kaminari continued where Kirishima had left off, “Your mom and dad got closer because they got teamed up to fight our pro hero teacher for our exam! They fought and they had a hard time talking to each other but they passed the exam in the end! It was hard at first. Your dad kept on telling us that he didn’t like your mom in a lovey way but we kept on pushing him until he accidentally said that he liked her! Your mommy heard what he said and then she told him that she liked him too!”
“F-fight? I thought Daddy only fights bad guys...” Her voice begins to crack as if she was about to cry. The Bakusquad were about to speak up and explain but failed to because as soon as Mina was done braiding her hair, Hikari immediately stands up and bows politely to the four adults. “I’m going to play with Mr. Rilakkuma for a while. See you later!” She grabs a cookie from the plate and rushes into her room, locking the door behind her.
“See you later Hikari-chan!” Kaminari waves cluelessly, not realizing what he had just said that prompted Hikari to leave the room in the first place. Mina stands up on her knees, shooting him a glare and flicking his forehead, “Did you not realize what you just did!?”
“Ahh what did I do!?” He rubs the spot on his forehead that Mina had just hit, and looks at his two other friends for a clue as to why they were ganging up with him.
“I guess Chargedolt will always be Chargedolt.” Sero shrugs, shaking his head in disappointment.. “Hikari misinterpreted what you said. She thinks that Bakubro used to fight (Y/N) like she’s a villain or something back when we were in High School.”
“WAIT! OBJECTION! SHE MISINTERPRETED YOUR STORY FIRST-”
“Guys. Guys. There’s nothing we can do about it. Both of you slipped, so let’s give Hikari-chan some space first then talk to her later.” Kirishima cuts Kaminari off before he and Sero would start an argument,  which would prompt Hikari to further think more negative thoughts.
“(Y/N) said that Hikari-chan’s been liking Tonkotsu Ramen recently, so I think it’s best if all of us help out in cooking her favorite comfort food to cheer her up.” Mina sighs deeply, crossing her arms. She heads straight to the kitchen without uttering another word, the three other guys follow suit.
After several hours, it was finally night time and time for dinner! At the orders of Mina, Sero and Kaminari came to pick up Hikari from her room.
Sero knocked softly. “Hikari-chan? It’s time for dinner!”
“We cooked your favoriteee Tonkatsu Ramen!” Kaminari added in a playful voice.
No reply.
“Hikari-chan?” Sero knocks again, a bit louder this time. He then turns to Denki and whispers, “Maybe she’s asleep?”
Before the two men were to retreat and go back to the living room, the door to the little girl’s room was unlocked with a long click, as if there was hesitance..
Denki quickly turns the knob to be surprised at the sight of Hikari... packing her clothes into a cute backpack?
“Hikari-chan! W-what are you doing?” Kaminari runs to her, trying to stop her from folding her clothes.
“I’m going to go see Mommy and Daddy! I’ll go take a bus and find them!” She wipes the tears streaking down her cheeks, sniffing her nose while attempting to stuff her teddy bear inside her backpack. “Daddy took Mommy so that they’re going to fight aren’t they!? I don’t want that!”
“No no no no no Hikari. It’s not like that!” Kaminari wipes the little girl’s tears with a handkerchief, he gestures Sero to call Kirishima and Mina whilst he tries to comfort the girl. “Your dad took your mom out because today is their lovey anniversary! It wasn’t because they were going to fight!”
“Ah! Owkay!” Hikari suddenly raises her head, taking the handkerchief from Denki and wiping her tears.  “Can I visit Daddy and Mommy then!?”
“O-oh well...”
“Of course we can go Hikari-chan!” Kirishima barges in, Sero and Mina close behind him. “Let’s surprise them!”
“Yay! Surprising them! I love surprises!” The little girl jumps up and down in her place. “What time do we go!? What time do we goooo!?”
“After dinner you little cutie.” Mina smiles at the younger Bakugo’s sudden shift in mood. “We cooked your favorite Tonkotsu Ramen!”
“AH! TONKOTSU RAMEN TONKOTSU RAMEN!” Hikari wiggles her arms, slightly pushing the adults out of the way and runs out of her room, Sero catches up to her, only to find her sitting properly on the dining table. “I’m ready to eat now! Just waiting for all of you!” She shouts from outside.
“She’s absolutely fricking adorable.” Kaminari remarks. “But Kiri.. are you serious? We’re actually going all the way to a prefecture and bring her to her parents? Isn’t our job supposed to be keeping her here while they rest and relax in the onsen?”
“W-well... It’s not like we can do anything about it right?” Eijiro shrugs off Denki’s concern, holding on to a stress ball that Hikari had in her room. “She’ll be moping around and going back to overthinking about what her parents are doing right now. We’ll take her there and besides, once we do get there, (Y/N) and Bakugo already had a day’s worth of rest. And I think it’s time for us to take Hikari on a road trip and have fun with her!”
“Uncle Eijiro.. Aunt Mina... Uncle Denki... what’s taking you so long?” Hikari yawns and rubs her eyes, still holding on to her chopsticks. “The ramen is going to get cold...”
“Oh no! It is!?” Mina reacts quickly, taking Hikari’s hand and leading her to the table. “Let’s get there before Elsa makes it even colder!”
“NOOOOOO!! Elsa’s going to do that!? Whyyyyyy!?”
“Let’s just hope that this isn’t a repeat of what happened when we took her to the community pool.” Kaminari shakes his head, recalling the past event. “Bakugo almost killed us if it weren’t for (Y/N).”
“I don’t think it will. Besides, Sero and Mina will be with us, so the more the merrier!”
Oh and the merrier it was.
“HAKUNA MATATA! WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE!” Bakusquad along with Hikari, sing in unison. Bopping along to the iconic song from Lion King.
“IT MEANS NO WORRIES! FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS!” Hikari belts out, the others clapping along to her singing, doing their best to hype her up
Kirishima was singing Timone’s lines, Kaminari was singing Pumba’s, Sero and Mina were the background vocals and and Hikari was singing Simba’s lines.
It was 6 am in the morning and they were finally on the road and on the way to a Hot Springs Resort in Chiba Prefecture, where you and Bakugo were staying in for the weekend.
Kirishima was driving the SUV that he immediately bought when he got his first Pro Hero paycheck, Denki was riding shotgun, and Hikari was seated at the middle squeezed in by both Mina and Sero.
Disney Songs were set to be played for the entire morning to tire out Hikari and so that she can sleep peacefully and rid Bakusquad of the slight annoyance they will receive when she asks “Are we there yet?” every 2 minutes.
Denki had unfortunately messed up the spotify playlist that Jiro had given him, and the piano opening of A Thousand Miles begins to play.
“OMG IT’S OUR SQUAD SONG!” Mina’s eyes lit up as soon as the well-known piano keys blared out from the speakers. “MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN, WALKING FAST, FACES PASS AND I’M HOMEBOUND!”
The iconic part before the chorus begins to play and the boys sing along, “AND I NEED YOU! AND I MISS YOUUU!” They shake their shoulders to the beat, and Hikari giggles along.
“CAUSE YOU KNOW I’D WALK A THOUSAND MILES IF I CAN JUST SEE YOU TONIGHTTTTT.” Bakusquad sings dramatically in unison, raising their hands up high and just vibing to the beat.
“Hikari-chan! You should totally hear your dad sing this! He loves this song!” Mina turns to the little girl who continued to laugh at how chaotic her aunt and uncles were being. “Really!? I want to learn it then so that Mommy and Daddy would know that I can be a singer too!”
The song ends and yet everyone else was still vibing. After the current song, the hype and the energy has died down and Hikari is fast asleep on Mina’s lap and her feet were lying on a pillow that was placed on Sero’s lap.
“She really is a spitting image of both (Y/N) and Bakugo. They’re really great parents.” said Sero, who wanted to break the silence and keep the atmosphere lively.
“My mind is still shook over the fact that Bakubro would turn so soft every time he’s in the same room as his daughter. It’s a complete 180 on his personality, and I really wanna tease him about it when we finally get the chance.” Kaminari interjects. “Do you think Bakugo would get mad when we arrive there?”
“Trust me on this guys.” Kirishima says casually, stepping on the gas pedal, as they go up the highway. “Bakugo won’t. In fact, I think both he and (Y/N) would be delighted to see their daughter travel for 180 miles just because of a misunderstanding.”
“Suki-kun... do you think I should call up Mina to ask how Hikari’s doing?” You reach for your phone on the bedside table. “It’s 6 AM maybe Hikari forgot to drink her gummmy vitamins-”
“She’s going to be fine.” Katsuki murmurs in his bedhead voice, turning to your side of the bed to spoon you and nestle his head on your neck. “I trust Kirishima and the others.”
“This is surprising. You’re very casual about this now. What happened to your skepticism? Weren’t you too worried about how they were going to babysit Hikari after the pool incident?”
“To hell with that. If Hikari loves them, and they love her back just as much, might as well just roll with it. They’re my friends anyway and it’s better than Ilda scolding her for eating 4 M&Ms at 9 in the evening.”
You chuckle, holding his hands that were wrapped around your waist. “That’s harsh but you got a point. Although Hikari loves my friends and yours equally, they do think of Hikari as a little Bakugo so, they’re able to connect with her more.”
“What time do the private mixed gender hot springs open up again?” He grumbles suggestively and you giggle. “They open at 9 am. Should I reserve that time slot?”
“You should.” He growls but before you could even reply, he falls back to sleep.
“WE’RE HERE!” Kirishima announces, waking Kaminari, Mina and Sero up from their sleep.
“W-what if this isn’t the right onsen?” Denki yawns, looking around to take in the view.
“I asked (Y/N) last night where they were staying. This is the place! She even gave me their room number for some reason.” Mina stretches her arms then pats Hikari on the forehead lightly. “Hikari we’re here...”
The little girl slowly opens her eyes, sitting up, then looks out the window.
“HOT SPRINGS! ONSEN!” She hastily tidies up her backpack and gets down the car as soon as Sero opens the door.
“Hikari-chan! Wait for us first!” Sero runs after her, making sure she doesn’t get too far.
“It’s 9 AM... I wonder if those two lovebirds are awake already.” Kaminari looks at the watch on his wrist, as he brings down their stuff from the trunk of the car.
“I looked this place up last night. It’s a family friendly hot springs resort, but it’s famed for it’s private mixed gender onsen. I wonder why though...” Mina mused, helping Denki out with bringing their stuff down.
Kirishima gets out of the car and bobs his head up as soon as he heard what Mina had said. He looks at Kaminari trying to tell him something through his stare. The mustard-haired man’s eyes widened when he realized why Kirishima was looking at him, then he turns to Mina who finally realizes what the mixed gender onsen meant.
“Oh.”
They enter the beautiful and lush resort, spotting Sero and Hikari who were sitting near the reception area, waiting for their reservation and for the rooms to be confirmed.
“Can’t believe we had to pay double the price for a standard room.” Kaminari pouts, whispering to Kirishima as the red-haired man hands him over the credit cards of each of his friends and then he hands it over to the concierge. He notices how excited Hikari looked and couldn’t help but smile.
As soon as the reservation was confirmed, Bakusquad and Hikari were able to check in immediately. Mina takes Hikari to her room while the three other boys were sharing their room with each other.
“Hikari before you can surprise your parents, you have to wear this Yukata first okay?” Mina helps fasten the bath robe on Hikari, but the little girl can’t help but be energetic and start dancing in her place. “Have you memorized the A Thousand Miles chorus already to sing to your mommy and daddy?”
“I have!”
Mina takes Hikari outside, the other boys were already out too and were wearing their bath robes.
“I saw (Y/N) enter this onsen. Maybe that’s where she and Bakugo are in? Should we take Hikari there?” Kaminari asks his three other friends, sipping on a fruit-flavored ramune, and handing one to Hikari.
“Yes please! I want to see Mommy and Daddy as soon as possible and then surprise them!” She sips on her ramune, looking at her aunt and uncles pleadingly, begging them to bring her there.
“I could have sworn I heard Kaminari-kun’s voice outside.” You tell Katsuki, closing the screen door to the open air bath. You were holding a plate full of sliced Watermelon. Your robe was still on and you wanted to eat something first before getting in.
“Tch. Probably just your imagination.” Bakugo breathes a sigh of relief, slipping in further in the hot water. “I could get used to something like this every month.”
“Oh really?” You raise your eyebrow, and lick your lips. “Could you get used to-”
“If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass us ByYYY?”
You jolt up at the sweet and all too familiar voice that was echoing from the outside. Before you could even react properly, someone knocks on the door to reveal...
“Mommy! Daddy!”
“Hikari!?”
She jumps to you and pulls you into a tight hug. “I missed you so much! I thought you and Daddy were fighting that’s why you left!”
“Fighting!?” You look back and forth to Bakusquad then to your daughter. “Of course not! Why would we-”
“Uncle Sewo and Uncle Denki told me that you guys would always fight when you were in school! That’s why I thought that-”
“They did... what?” Bakugo’s tone becomes slightly irritated at the mention of Kaminari and Hanta’s name. The Bakusquad were about to face death and the consequences until...
“Oh! But! They also taught me a song today! It’s called A Thousand Miles! They said it was Daddy’s favorite!” She then turns to her father with such admiration in her eyes as she begins to sing the chorus. “Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles just to see youuu~”
“Nice one sunshine. Did you learn that for me?” He gestures Hikari to approach him, ruffling her hair as she kneels down to peck him on the cheek. “I did!”
“It’s your favorite song! So, I also traveled a thousand miles to see you and Mommy!”
“Not necessarily a thousand miles, dear. But you’re close enough! You still traveled to see us! Yay!” You clap at the genius remark your daughter had made. You turn to the Bakusquad, nodding your head at them and smile. “Thank you for taking care of Hikari and bringing her here just because she wanted to. We’ll see you later at lunch?”
“Of course! Of course!” Mina waves goodbye, a tired but loving smile formed on her face. “We had a fun time with Hikari and we just couldn’t help but bring her here. But, you have Kiri to thank for all of this though!”
“No, I shouldn’t get all of the credit. This is a Bakusquad group effort, if Kaminari and Sero didn’t slip and if Hikari didn’t misunderstand their words, then we wouldn’t be here in the first place.” Kirishima cuts Mina off in a respectful way. He claps his hands together and pulls your other friends out of the room. “See ya guys later!”
“Thanks guys.” Bakugo nods generously to his friends. It was something he didn’t always do, but when he does, well, it’s worth seeing.
“Bye Uncle Sharkie, Aunt Pinkie, Uncle Sparkie and Uncle Spidey!” Hikari waves goodbye jovially, not realizing that she just called them the affectionate nicknames that she’s too embarrassed to say in front of them.
The four laugh at the little girl’s slip-up and they leave the hot springs in good spirits.
After that wonderful weekend, you explained to Hikari about why you’re taking a rest every month in the first place. She didn’t quite get the concept at first but after a little bit more of explaining, she came up with the idea that the two of you get four rest days in a month. One weekend just for you and Katsuki then the other weekend is for the three of you and if any of the Bakusquad or Dekusquad would want to come along.
It was the perfect agreement and if Hikari was going to grow up in an environment where she had the best aunts and uncles in the universe, then she’s going to grow up to be a great kid. Just like the adults in her life once were.
The End.

hi, rory! <3 what majors would the sc veterans take if they were in the modern world?
hi, anon !! thank you so much for this ask, this is heaven in disguise from all my schoolwork. tbh, the whole time i was working for a lab report, my mind will go back to this ask bc i wanted to have the association as accurate as possible hhhajshw
i asked one of my friends for help and thank God for them bc my single brain cell really said 'it's time for you to rest' after staring at one backlog. without further ado, here are the veterans' majors if they're studying in university:
Tumblr media
first off, hange zoe, because if you ask me this question in real life, they would be the only one i can answer. every damn time i would think of them in a college setting, being a biology major is really hange's forte. at this point, this is what everyone would associate them with.
hange is all about experimenting and doing brilliant breakthroughs in any field of science but knowing that they have this unparalleled fascination with the unusual and unexpected life-forms (ahem titans ahem), the biology lab would be the surest place where you could find hange. i feel like biology is too broad so i will add that microbiology or bacteriology are just some of the specializations they will be taking in their time in college.
imagine, being lab partners with hange and immediately knowing that you will have one of the highest grades in the class because they're that well-versed in a specific lab report. and if you're partners with them for the rest of the academic year, you might as well have a shot at an immaculate grade. i'm not saying that you should depend on them too much though hHHHH, hange is still a member of the majority of the student body who relies heavily on caffeine to keep them invigorated. who isn't at this point?
so far, some of the biology majors that i encountered (well, more like chatted behind a screen — online classes suck), they have this energy that could drain my social battery too quickly and hange fits that description. (note that this doesn't apply to any college bc i observed this in mine soooo 🤭) they're the type to always go on a tangent on a certain science article or coerce you into joining this org thing. i can imagine levi just looking at hange like they're the one sucking his brain cells out whenever they speak about a documentary in bbc they watched the night before.
and if you're stuck on anything biology-related, hange will be the best person to ask help from. they're the first ray of sunlight you get while waking up. they're that approachable.

okay, so erwin smith.
don't come at me but he just radiates this ceo vibes and with that, one of his probably majors is business administration. i know this is so stereotypical of me but let's face it, erwin is a smooth talker through and through and if he doesn't take up marketing, business is one way to spend his college years. knowing his personality in attack on titan of establishing deals easily with a determined resolve, he fits the broadest description of being a business administration major. (again, don't come at me because my consultant for this statement is google and nobody comes after google sometimes hhhhh)
just for the benefit of myself, i will add what google says about this major, "[they] learn the mechanics of business through classes in fundamentals, such as finance, accounting and marketing ... students find ways to solve problems using data and they develop communication and managerial skills." and i thank you.
he's also probably the most well-spoken and most professional when conversing with others among his friends (and i'm not saying this to drag the other characters but this is what i pick up on) and that is exactly the qualities his major specializes. it is expected for them to strike deals and be a people person and who better character for the job than our very own erwin smith 🤩
now i mentioned 'one of the probable majors' and yes, aside from business administration, philosophy just exudes erwin smith. ngl, when i imagined erwin in a college setting, this major will always come first. his mind is just so sexy to me??? and i hope you guys think the same, too, because i don't want to be the only one who thinks that 👀 kidding aside, erwin is one of the smartest people in attack on titan and every time he speaks in one episode, my brain will instantly go mush, and that's what i feel when i hear philosophy majors talk.
philosophy majors (according to any other youtuber who does lookbooks for various majors hhhhhh) challenge what is unanswerable and analyze questions with no right answer. i feel like erwin, like hange, will talk all night to explain a theory. just imagine a date with him and you just listen to him rant about a topic that they should be making a report on. just listen to this man, okay?? it's adorable when he lets his guard down to include you in his little bubble of philosophies. he would also mention random things that he learned in classes, sometimes finding joy in knowing the philosophies of other people, or even deciphering levi's dream of an apocalyptic world. (it pisses levi off but he just leave him be.)
if you want a man who can do both of these majors, erwin smith is the answer 😉
Tumblr media
sigh, mike zacharias.
this man holds so many talents and will forever amaze me.
i assume all of us here watched the movie perfume. and no, i'm not saying that mike is going to be a murderer but just like the main character of that film, making perfumes will be his forte with that sense of smell of his. and here, i conclude that mike will definitely take up chemical engineering.
he gives me the vibes that if it covers the one thing he does best, he will love his major. (mr. zacharias, can you please spare me that quality because i really need that now 😩) being in the labs while experimenting mundane things that can be found in the environment to create different scents is also a likely situation you can find him in, again, very much like hange. he's the type of student who really puts so much effort in staying afloat the honors list, even to the point of topping midterms in his major, for the sake of his dream. there will never be a moment where you will catch him complain about his major and professors.
he's that type of friend in college who agrees to any rant you say but in reality, he's got his life easy 😭
i headcanon mike owning a perfume shop after college just like how levi always dreamed of having a tea shop.
okay, imagine this little scenario if you're dating mike where he creates this unique perfumes as random gifts for you. they're not the typical perfumes that can seep through the room and can make you gag for no reason, they're subtle scents that will stay for the duration of the day. because again, he's got a sensitive nose, so making perfumes according to what his sense of smell dictates will always result in a revolutionary experiment. if you're randomly blurting out that you want a fusion of flowers and fruits as your perfume, say no more, he's your man.
Tumblr media
now, the veteran who i find the hardest to associate a major with — levi ackerman.
after much deliberation and a break from plant physiology, i see him taking up law or criminology.
(i asked some of this from my mom because she attended law school :>>>)
levi is so organized and detailed in the things that he do and he fits in either of these majors since they require tedious memorizations and analysis of laws and crime scenes while being assertive enough to defend someone. he's the typical person who blurts out the true situation of a crime scene when watching film adaptations. yeah, he's that person, the one who sucks the enthusiasm out of you while watching a movie because he just had to correct some of the scenes. nevertheless, he means well though, he just wanted you to understand the reality unlike how films portray gruesome murders. movie nights always end up with levi ranting about half-assed mystery clichés.
levi's binder of readings are always too bright for everyone's good. his notes are full of highlighters and scribbles that it can blind someone. for one, he's always up all night studying his readings and cases for a practice court so by choosing neon highlighters, it's a way for him to wake up. there isn't one book in his possession that he doesn't highlight like it's a fricking coloring book. hange once jokingly said that his binder now acts like his bible and for once, he agrees because he was never seen without one. hange had a field day since levi never agrees with them.
when doing practice courts though, his go-to resting bitch face always come in handy when carrying out his role as one of the lawyers. he's just so sexy with his hands in the pockets of his slacks as he tries to justify his supposed client. the way he questions the accused definitely isn't hot because he's like one of the panelists in your thesis defense, the one who just comes up with questions that have you melting on the spot. he's dangerous i tell you. it also doesn't help if you accidentally hurt one of his friends or just landed randomly in his blacklist for being annoying as hell. relax though, he doesn't mean harm other than the fact that he's ready to throw some hands from all the pent-up rage he gathered in his body.
of course, i couldn't forget how he dresses up like a typical dark academia fanatic so look out for eye-candy.
if you want someone who can recite articles from the constitution, this man is perfect for you 😌
Tumblr media
i had so much fun doing this !! again, i'm not generalizing every major i've talked about in these little headcanons, this is all for fun and based on the people i encountered in college. if you want more of this, don't hesitate to ask !! 😚

Tumblr media
| armin - colt - eren - jean - porco |
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
armin arlert
• i think most, if not all of us, agree that armin looks like the type to get all flustered with PDA & shy away from his emotions --- HOWEVER.
• rather than being all over you, he finds himself most comfortable with holding your hand or having an arm wrapped around your shoulders.
• he wouldn't mind you being clingy though 👀
• would occasionally place a gentle peck on your forehead, cheeks & his personal favorite; the palm of your hands.
• you guys' dates would mostly end up being in a library, café & restaurants with a nice warm atmosphere.
• i bet he would be the kind of guy to take you to the beach whenever you're stressed out in hopes of calming you down.
• gets very defensive when his friends tease you, if a man could bark his friends away, it's armin arlert.
• this lad over here would establish a routine with you (with your consent & opinions ofc)
• mondays to friday mornings are centered on school, you guys do your own thing at school & walk you home while making sure to stop by a convenience store for snacks, assuming that you guys don't live together yet.
• both of you make it a point to check on one another to make sure you guys aren't wearing yourselves out.
• which leads me to the conclusion that your parents grew very fond of him & treats him more like their child
• when you guys are having a sleepover, this whole lowkey facade of his takes a 180 and the second you reach the bedroom he'll shower you with cuddles and kisses.
• you would watch movies (mostly rom-com just bc armin makes it work okay) tucked in a warm futon with popcorn and candies between you two.
• armin strikes me as a very studious guy and he does this to ensure you guys' future together ^-^
• all in all armin cares about you so much and he doesn't mind being vulnerable to you. he is your safe haven, and so are you to him.
Tumblr media
colt grice
• okay can we talk about how this perfect man deserves some more attention
• colt, my man, gives me disney's prince florian vibes. the soft-spoken, kind-hearted, & just an absolute dream.
• he's the kind of guy to take you to the park, a greenhouse, & WORKSHOPS!!!
• given the idea that he is in fact a shy little baby, he is actually pretty active with you. every date you guys have is different. mans has a quest planned out for y'all.
• at school i think that you might be the one to initiate skinship. doesn't have to be kisses on the lips, it's more of gently trailing your index on the back of his hand or rubbing a hand on his forearm when he gets a little anxious.
• the type to peek through your classroom's door because bubba's too shy to ask someone to call for you 🤧
• colt, in my opinion, is very domestic in private, now don't get me wrong he may be a little too shy in public because he isn't used to it but i promise you he takes on the nurturing role of the relationship more than you are.
• he helps you with cleaning, folding your clothes, and god if you guys get periods, he's got a whole pouch in his locker just for you.
• he doesn't do it intentionally, he happens to know you so well that he notices the slight change in your moods & cravings.
• colt often reads a book while you guys cuddle during the afternoons once all the work is done, he'd make you tea or whatever you want. he hums a tune, probably from old disney movies that his brother falco used to enjoy as a kid.
• your parents are more invested in your marriage than you and colt combined.
• okay, now if you happen to have a baby or a toddler somewhere around the house, someone keep this man from turning into a putty.
• as much as colt acts prim and proper most of the time, he has his moments where he just wants to be an entire mess. perhaps sleeping past his usual waking time, indulging in more snacks than usual. you know, loosen up? yeah, that is a side of his that only YOU will ever be allowed to see.
• so yes you and colt would be labeled as the: put-together couple who needs a little bit of adventure every now and then.
Tumblr media
eren jaeger
• i hope i don't ramble too long because i love him sm
• mr. loverboy over here is a simp for you, more than you are a simp for him! he is not afraid to show you off and shower you with flattery. now he does this because he feels so lucky to have you.
• he can be a little cliché (well maybe not as much as jean --- more on that later), like he'll randomly interrupt your vacant class with a gift box he put together, & a bouquet. yes. (carla helped him pick out flowers from her shop)
• he's the type to crash his lips with yours in the middle of campus when you achieve something or when he does, vice-versa. if he plays in one of your school's teams, there just HAS to be a bet that if he wins he gets a kiss... or more... or something else.
• dates with eren are usually random than planned. like it pops in his head and he'll inform you right away. he respects your vacancy too of course but if you aren't he might pout just a little bit.
• his ideal dates are prop shop dates, going to hotspots, amusement parks, antique shops! & maybe late night drinks at a quiet bar where you can both enjoy the solace of the atmosphere.
• on special occasions, he does plan ahead. usually it's something on the simpler side. candlelit dinners at home or somewhere you guys both enjoy dining.
• if eren's had a bad day, best believe that he will run to you for comfort. only you can help keep his aggressive response to anger at bay.
• if given the chance he would take you around the world, he's that passionate in making sure you live a little
• hear me out... you and eren would probably have the most philosophical conversations, just laying on your backs beneath his room's skylight? heavenly.
• eren can get a little poetic expressing himself & i believe that it's just wonderful. no one can describe their feelings as good as eren.
• his favorite look of yours is when your eyes beam with excitement, it usually happens when you spot something that you used to enjoy as a kid or when you're concentrating on one of your hobbies.
• he's a very touchy person too, his hands are usually on your stomach/waist, his kisses are random & they linger for awhile.
• when you're asleep next to him, it's his habit to solemnly watch you while his own drowsiness starts to take over.
• eren is passionate & sometimes people might take it the wrong way. one of the reasons eren loves you is because of the way you understand how he is. mutual growth for y'all ♡.
Tumblr media
jean kirschtein
• jean is not afraid to pull a live performance for you, you see this man is at the top of the world when he's with you. from 80s hits to recent releases this man will blast his playlists catered for you.
• dates with jean are certainly spent on concerts, (him & eren bond over chase atlantic don't argue with me) music festivals, thrifting & late night drives!!!
• personally, i don't see jean as very gimmicky unless you guys are with his friends, he takes you very seriously and you are his top priority.
• at school i think he's definitely one of those flirtatious boyfriends. the kind who would not miss an opportunity to blow you a kiss or throw you a wink. he can be a bit of a dork, who wouldn't be? if he can get one of your rare smiles 🥺
• jean's the type to ask his pals for help when it comes to styling. not because he dresses badly but he's too focused on getting a flush on your cheeks. he's a hopeless romantic.
• if you guys happen to stay at home, he'll definitely serenade you with the amount of songs he had written recently just for you.
• since he bonds with sasha and connie, his jokes are either dad jokes or something that went viral on tiktok. he's the perfect balance of goofy and mature.
• if you aren't much of an active person he wouldn't mind being lazy with you and insist on a diy spa day at home.
• it's just netflix with a tub of ice cream and face masks on.
• since jean is quite the romantic, he would be into couple outfits or items that aren't cringey obv and probably doesn't mind using your perfume or vice-versa.
• jean probably asked you out during one of his gigs, offering you a single rose afterwards.
• he's the type to leave you random post-it notes if he visits your house. just random phrases or doodles. and boy does he pick you up every single day on his smexy motorcycle.
• he'll bring you coffee and breakfast to-go. this man's spoiling you baby.
• aside from that, i feel like jean would make you hand-made gifts with the help of his momma. he thinks it's sentimental when you make your presents because it's one of a kind.
• jean does all these things because he's 100% about you being a constant person in his life. he loves how he can be whoever he wants when he's around you, i'm certain you guys wouldn't have it any other way either.
Tumblr media
porco galliard
• porco can be a dick if he wants to not to you though, this tough guy turns into putty just for you. he definitely loves being treated like a baby.
• at first he might come off as cold because he isn't used to the whole romance thing and he gets flustered with the slightest pecks so you might have to initiate at first.
• but once you guys get through the awkward phase this boy would straight up greet you with a passionate kiss and does not give a damn about everybody who witnessed it. he might even have a stupid smirk on his face.
• like eren, i feel like porco would be very passionate and intense. he doesn't say much but he definitely shows you just how much he adores you.
• speaking of friends (: reiner would tease him every second of the day. i bet he would team up with bertholdt to annoy this poor boy. annie and pieck's not much help either.
•whenever you're stressed, porco would run you a bath and give you massages very often. he'll sit on the edge of the tub while he runs his hand through your hair.
•his type of dates would be watching at a cinema or a drive-in, going to the mall just to look around,he's a simple guy.
•if you guys happen to have an argument, porco would distance himself for a few minutes to a few hours just to process the situation and avoid anything his aggression might cause.
•he knew that if he wanted you guys to work he needed to be better.
•he would come back though and hold you in his arms while you guys talk it out.
•i bet he's one of the aot characters who would be an athlete, so most days you'll end up watching him practice.
•overtime, porco would be more open to being intimate in public and post stories of you two just doing things most couples do.
•he's proud that you're his and he's all yours.
•porco is a great guy and he would do anything just to make you smile.
i hope you guys liked these~! let me know who you guys want to be in the second part. requests are open and as always, stay safe! - 🌸☁️

A rant against Karen Traviss' understanding of history and her FAQ answers
Did you base the Mandalorians on the Spartans?
<cite> No. I didn't. </cite> Fair enough.
<cite> I really wish history was taught properly - okay, taught at all - in schools these days, because history is the big storehouse that I plunder for fiction. It breaks my heart to hear from young readers who have no concept even of recent history - the last fifty years - and so can't see the parallels in my books. You don't have to be a historian to read my novels, but you'll get a lot more out of them if you explore history just a little more. Watch a history channel. Read a few books. Visit some museums. Because history is not "then" - it's "now." Everything we experience today is the product of what's happened before. </cite> Yeah, I do to. Please, Ms Traviss, go on, read some books. Might do you some good. And don't just trust the history channels. Their ideas about fact-checking differ wildly.
<cite> But back to Mandos. Not every military society is based on Sparta, strange as that may seem. In fact, the Mandos don't have much in common with the real Spartans at all. </cite> You mean apart from the absolute obsession with the military ["Agoge" by Stephen Hodkinson], fearsome reputation ["A Historical Commentary on Thucydides" by David Cartwright], their general-king ["Sparta" by Marcus Niebuhr Tod], the fact that they practically acted as mercenaries (like Clearch/Κλέαρχος), or the hyper-confidence ("the city is well-fortified that has a wall of men instead of brick" [Plutarch, Life of Lycurgus])...
<cite> A slightly anarchic, non-centralized, fightin' people? Sounded pretty Celtic to me. Since I went down that path, I've learned more about the Celts (especially the Picts), and the more I learn, the more I realise what a dead ringer for Mandos they are. But more of how that happened later... </cite>
The Celtic people are more than one people, more than one culture. Celtic is a language-family! In the last millennium BC nearly every European ethnic group was in some ways Celtic, and they were not one. Later, after the Germanic tribes (also not one people, or a singular group) moved westwards, the Celtic cultures were still counted in the hundreds. Not only Scotland was Celtic! Nearly all of Western Europe was (apart from the Greek and Phoenician settlers on the Mediterranean coasts). The word “Celts” was written down for the first time by Greek authors who later also used the word “Galatians”. The Romans called these people “Gauls”, and this word was used to describe a specific area, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Cévennes and the Rhine: “Gaul”. So the Celts, the Galatians and the Gauls were all part of the same Celtic civilisation. "Celts, a name applied by ancient writers to a population group occupying lands mainly north of the Mediterranean region from Galicia in the west to Galatia in the east [] Their unity is recognizable by common speech and common artistic traditions" [Waldman & Mason 2006] Mirobrigenses qui Celtici cognominantur. Pliny the Elder, The Natural History; example: C(AIUS) PORCIUS SEVERUS MIROBRIGEN(SIS) CELT(ICUS) -> not just one culture "Their tribes and groups eventually ranged from the British Isles and northern Spain to as far east as Transylvania, the Black Sea coasts, and Galatia in Anatolia and were in part absorbed into the Roman Empire as Britons, Gauls, Boii, Galatians, and Celtiberians. Linguistically they survive in the modern Celtic speakers of Ireland, Highland Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, and Brittany." [Celtic Culture: a historical encyclopedia. by John Koch] "[] the individual CELTIC COUNTRIES and their languages, []" James, Simon (1999). The Atlantic Celts – Ancient People Or Modern Invention. University of Wisconsin Press. "All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae live, another in which the Aquitani live, and the third are those who in their own tongue are called Celtae, in our language Galli." [Julius Caesar, De Bello Gallico] <= I had to translate that in school. It's tedious political propaganda. Read also the Comentarii and maybe the paper "Caesar's perception of Gallic social structures" that can be found in "Celtic Chiefdom, Celtic State," Cambridge University Press. The Celtic tribes and nations were diverse. They were pretty organized, with an academic system, roads, trade, and laws. They were not anarchic in any way. They were not warriors - they were mostly farmers. The Celts were first and foremost farmers and livestock breeders
The basic economy of the Celts was mixed farming, and, except in times of unrest, single farmsteads were usual. Owing to the wide variations in terrain and climate, cattle raising was more important than cereal cultivation in some regions.
Suetonius addressing his legionaries said "They are not soldiers—they're not even properly equipped. We've beaten them before." [not entirely sure, but I think that was in Tacitus' Annals]
Regarding the Picts, in particular, which part of their history is "anarchic"? Dál Riata? the Kingdom of Alba? Or are you referring to the warriors that inspired the Hadrian's Wall? Because no one really knows in our days who the fuck they were. The Picts’ name first appears in 297 AD. That is later. <cite> Celts are a good fit with the kind of indomitable, you-can't-kill-'em-off vibe of the Mandos. Reviled by Rome as ignorant savages with no culture or science, and only fit for slaughter or conquest, the Celts were in fact much more civilized than Rome even by modern standards. </cite> That's how the Romans looked at pretty much every culture that wasn't Greek, Roman, Phoenician, Egyptian, or from Mesopotamia (read, if you want, anything Roman or Greek about the Skyths, the Huns, Vandals, Garamantes...).
<cite> They also kicked Roman arse on the battlefield, and were very hard to keep in line, so Rome did what all lying, greedy superpowers do when challenged: they demonized and dehumanized the enemy. (They still used them in their army, of course, but that's only to be expected.) </cite> They were hard to keep in line, but they most definitely did not kick Roman arse on the battlefield. Roman arse was kicked along the borders of the Roman Empire, such as the Rhine, the Danube, the Atlas mountains, etc. And mostly by actually badly organized, slightly anarchic groups, such as the Goths or the Huns (BTW the Huns were not a Germanic people, even though early 20th century British propaganda likes to say so). Though they were also decisively stopped by the Parthians. Who were very organized. Ah well. <cite> While Rome was still leaving its unwanted babies to die on rubbish dumps - a perfectly acceptable form of family planning to this "civilisation" - and keeping women as chattels devoid of rights, the barbarian Celts had a long-standing legal system that not only gave women what we would think of as equal rights, but also protected the rights of the elderly, children, and the disabled. They had a road network across Europe and worldwide trade long before the Romans ever got their act together. And their science - well, their astronomical calculations were so sophisticated that it takes computers to do the same stuff today. </cite> See? You even say yourself that they weren't actually anarchic. Also you're not completely right: 1. women (of most Celtic cultures, with one notable exception being the Irish) were not allowed to become druids, e.g. scientists, physicians, priests, or any other kind of academics, so they did not have equal rights. Also, as in other Indo-European systems, the family was patriarchal. 2. the roads they had were more like paths, and did not span the entirety of Europe; the old roads that are still in use are nearly all of them Roman. Had the Celtic inhabitants of Gallia or Britannia built comparable roads, why would the Romans have invested in building a new system on top? 3. world-wide? Yeah, right. They traded with those who traded with others and so were able to trade with most of southern Eurasia and northern Africa, as well as few northern parts (Balticum, Rus), but that's (surprise) not the whole world. 4. most people use computers for those calculations you mention because its easier. It's not necessary. I can do those calculations - give me some time to study astronomy (I'm a math major, not physics) and some pencils and paper. 5. and - I nearly forgot - the kids didn't die. That was a polite fiction. The harsh truth is that most Roman slaves were Romans... <cite> So - not barbarians. Just a threat to the empire, a culture that wouldn't let the Pax Romana roll over it without a fight. (Except the French tribes, who did roll over, and were regarded by the Germanic Celts [...]) </cite> WTF Germanic Celts? What are you smoking, woman? Isn't it enough that you put every culture speaking a language from the Celtic family in one pot and act as if they were one people, now you have to mix in a different language-family as well? Shall we continue that trend? What about the Mongolian Celts, are they, too, proof that the Celts were badass warriors? I think at this point I just lost all leftover trust in your so-called knowledge. <cite> [...] as being as bad as the Romans. Suck on that, Asterix... </cite> Asterix was definitely a Celt, and unlike the British Celts, he was not a citizen of the Roman Empire.
<cite> Broad brush-stroke time; Celts were not a centralized society but more a network of townships and tribes, a loose alliance of clans who had their own internal spats, but when faced with some uppity outsider would come together to drive off the common threat. </cite> They might have tried, but they didn't. The first and only time a Celtic people really managed to drive off some uppity outsider would be 1922 following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921*. The fact that France, Spain, Portugal speak Romance languages and the British (or Irish) Isles nearly uniformly speak English should be proof enough.
*Unless you count Asterix. <cite> You couldn't defeat them by cutting off the head. There was no head to cut off. </cite> You mean unlike Boudica and Vercingetorix. Oh wait. Tacitus, in his Annals, said that Boudica's last fight cost 80,000 Britons and 400 Romans their lives. He was probably exaggerating. But it definitely stopped much of the British resistance in its tracks. <cite> To the centralized, formal, rather bureaucratic Romans, for whom the city of Rome was the focus of the whole empire, this was a big does-not-compute. The Celts were everything they didn't understand. And we fear what we don't understand, and we kill what we fear. </cite> While that is totally true, it's also completely off the mark. The Romans demonized the druids, not every Celt, and they were afraid of what was basically an academic network. That had nothing to do with war. <cite> Anyway, Mandos....once I took a single concept - in this case, the idea of clans that operated on a loose alliance system, like the Celts - the rest grew organically. I didn't plan it out in detail from the start. </cite> That's really obvious. Maybe looking at some numbers and remembering that you weren't planning a small, local, rural, medieval community would have helped, too. I mean lets have a look at, say, Scotland (since you specifically mentioned the Picts): they still have less than 6 mio. people all together, and that's today. Mandalore is a sector. A sector of Outer Space with at least 2000 inhabited planets. How do you think that translates? It doesn't. <cite> I just asked myself what a culture of nomadic warriors would value, how they would need to operate to survive, and it all grew inexorably by logical steps. The fact that Mandos ended up as very much like the Celts is proof that the technique of evolving a character or species - find the niche, then work out what fits it - works every time. It creates something very realistic, because that's how real people and real societies develop. </cite> Celtic people were usually not nomadic! And, once again, non of them were predominantly warriors! It's really hard to be a nomadic farmer. I believe the biggest mistake you made, Ms Traviss, is mixing up the Iron Age (and earlier) tribes that did indeed sack Rome and parts of Greece, and that one day would become the people the Romans conquered. And apart from the Picts they really were conquered. <cite> So all I can say about Mandos and Spartans is that the average Mando would probably tell a Spartan to go and put some clothes on, and stop looking like such a big jessie. </cite>
I'd really like to see a Mando – or anyone – wearing full plate without modern or Star Wars technology in Greece. Happy heatstroke. There is a reason they didn't wear a lot (look up the Battle of Hattîn, where crusaders who didn't wear full helmets and wore chainmail* still suffered badly from heat exhaustion). [Nicolle, David (1993), Hattin 1187: Saladin's Greatest Victory] *chainmail apparently can work like a heatsink CONCLUSION You're wrong. And I felt offended by your FAQ answers. QUESTION You're English. You're from England. A group - a nation - that was historically so warlike and so successful that by now we all speak English. A nation that definitely kicked arse against any Celtic nation trying to go against them (until 1921, and they really tried anyway). A nation that had arguably the largest Empire in history. A nation that still is barbaric and warlike enough that a lost football game has people honestly fearing for their lives.
Also, a Germanic group, since you seem to have trouble keeping language-families and cultures apart. If we were to talk about the family, we could add on the current most aggressively attacking nation (USA) plus the former most aggressively attacking nations (the second and third German Reich), also the people who killed off the Roman Empire for good (the Goths and Visigoth), the original berserkers (the Vikings) and claim at the very least the start of BOTH WORLD WARS. Why did you look further?

I’m angry and I wrote this down in one session and thus probably made some mistakes. I’m sorry. Or maybe I’m not sorry. I’m still angry. She can’t know who reads her FAQ and at least two of her answers (on her professional website) were offensive to the reader.

• which he'll totally help you with
• Anyway you eat lunch in his class
• Bc like Mic, he's just one of those teachers that lonely kids gravitate to
• You sit quietly in the corner for a few days
• and everyday he asks how you're doing and adjusting
• There's a drastic difference in how you treat him and the students
• He gets a lot more respect, polite smiles and nods of the head
• "I'm doing well- I still haven't really settled in though," you laugh sheepishly. "Haven't really made friends yet."
"Oh you'll get there, I'm sure,"
"Hope so,"
• He'll definitely shit talk other students with you
• He might not give out their actual name, but you have enough common sense to know who its PROBABLY about
• Your native language is English.
• his native language is Japanese.
• This can be problematic
• Because you'll be sitting in class and he'll be going over something and you'll be like ????
• just completely lost
• sir??? Sir what the fuck are you saying???
• equivalent of 'aye partipradact?? Aye partipiridact skarvern.'
• Because even though you studied Japanese (you kinda had to) being thrust into the country, culture, and language was a lot different than learning it in a classroom.
• lowkey really stressful
• so on days like that, you'll avoid looking around like a lost puppy and just pretend you're taking notes
• he knows tho
• he always fuckin knows
• so tutoring is a big thing
• thats partially what draws y'all closer
• you're in there 3 out of 5 days of the week after school (during lunch too) getting help for what you don't understand
• He'll absolutely have you help grade tests though
• Its great, you know all their secrets
• Denki's a lot smarter than he makes himself out to be, even though he's not making hundreds on the tests, he does really well on the free response parts
• You can usually tell you studied and who didn't tho
• great ammo tho
• For roasts n shit
• "Watch were you look, grape boy, I'm in charge of your test grades."
"Ha! Got em."
"You too,"
• Hizashi takes care of the literature part of tutoring (he also speaks English, he can clarify in a way you understand) and Aizawa takes care of math and history
• He has learned that math is your least favorite and your brain kinda shuts down when math is shown
• You and History vibe though, you love learning about it, just the language barrier can make it confusing sometimes
• This definitely leads to a lot more opening up
• Because well fuck, you're alone in another country, and you're teacher is really the only thing giving you security.
• So he learns a lot about you and about your country
• He'll definitely try to learn a little more English to help you out when he can
• He speaks a little bit, like if he was stranded in America he knows enough to survive with a tiny bit of small talk
• And he can understand more than he can speak
• Thats partially due to his own endeavors but also, hanging around Mic (who speaks fluent english) gets to him too
• He likes hearing about America
• Will dead ads listen to you ramble for as long as you want about it
• he likes the light in your eyes when you tell him about places you'd hang out at or your friends or secret spots
• knowing Aizawa means you know Shinsou
• extra training w them???
• yes.
• Shinsou becoming basically a brother??
• Yes
• Also becoming very close with Hizashi???
• lmao fuck ya
• #deadass family time
• Yall will literally go to lunch like its no big deal
• You and Shinsou falling asleep on each other's shoulder during movie day
• You're still gonna get heavy workload and strict parameters
• bc he wants you to succeed
• though if you need a mental day or it needs to be a little slower bc you're having trouble grasping the concept he's got you covered
• Ngl he gets pretty bummed out when you have to go back
• He's not gonna tell you that straight up tho
• Tho you have his number and he sends you off with a fuckin care package
• and he thinks that the last time he's gonna see you
• ever
• :(
• BUT SIKE
• YOU GET REAPPROVED TO GO BACK
• so you're only gone for like 2 months before you're back
• BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS
• So there he is
• Sitting in his classroom earlier than usual
• Just making sure everything is set up right
• And you open the door quietly with a grin
"Hey old man,"
His eyes widened for a split second before he scowls, one with not true malice behind it, "I just can't get rid of you, can I?"
"Nope." Your grin widens. "You missed me though, don't lie."
"Hold on, why are you here?"
"I got reapproved to spend my second year here."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"Nope, it was a surprise. Wasn't hard to do though "
"I gave you that care package for nothing."
"No, I definitely ate all the food on it while I was on the plane."
"Whatever," he shook his head with a small smile. "Help me set up."
"Sir yes sir."
• and so he can survive another year because you're there to keep him sane

Chapter 3 - Grover Unexpectedly Loses his Pants
Theme of the day: Generosity
(Lately every time I try to reread a book I end up getting lost in related fanfiction and it happened again sjkdfhdf)
It’s kinda interesting comparing the difference between 1st person and 3rd person narratives in terms of like.... the vibes you get in a story. Idk how to properly describe it but ig it’s the difference of a character telling the reader directly through their own voice vs. a narrator telling the story. Like a second-hand narrative.
Anyway, my point about this is just how descriptive Percy is about his mom compared to everyone else we’ve seen so far lol. When a character is introduced, we get a basic description on their physique and personality in Percy’s eyes. If they’re closer to Percy, we get longer paragraphs and their little quirks as the story progresses. At this point, Grover is the only character introduced where we get a sense of how close he and Percy are: he has a muscular disease, but will nyooom when enchiladas are for lunch; his bladder acts up when he’s upset; he’s a terrible liar; stuff like that.
But like, all of that doesn’t compare to when Percy talks about Sally Jackson. She gets an entire page dedicated to her when she’s introduced. He continually notes how her eyes change color, how warm her smiles are, how loving and caring she is towards Percy. It just shows how much Percy focuses his mom and how close the two are. I absolutely love the paragraph “As we got closer to Montauk, she seemed to grow younger, years of worry and work disappearing from her face. Her eyes turned the color of the sea.” He pays such close attention to Sally... it’s so cute 🥺 He’s like I LOVE my mom she’s AMAZING and she deserves the WORLD. And she absolutely DOES.
This is a nice segue into the theme of generosity bc Sally! Jackson! is such a generous person. I think Percy mentioned how despite how hard a life Sally has had, she’s still very warm and loving. She prioritizes her family constantly, like her quitting high school to take care of her uncle even though he never really cared for her as her guardian. She also gives up so much so she could raise Percy and keep him safe, marrying the bastard that is Gabe, sending Percy away to various private schools, and she never regrets the decisions she makes as long as it means that Percy is safe. The only “selfish” thing she does is keep Percy away from Camp Half-Blood I suppose, because in reality that is the one place that’s guaranteed to protect Percy as a child of the Big Three (at least better than leaving him out in the world for the most part lol). But we also can’t blame her for leaving that as her last option, because sending Percy off to camp could potentially mean that she’d never see him again. How could you ask a mother that loves her son to that extent to do that?
I can’t talk about generosity in this chapter without also talking about greed. If Sally is all about spirit of giving and kindness, Gabe is the complete opposite of that. As soon as Percy walks into the door of his apartment, Gabe asks for cash to use in his poker game. Not a “hi how’ve you been it’s been 6 months since I last saw you” lol. He’s stingy only when it comes to spending money on Sally and Percy and he only agrees to let the two go on their trip when Sally offers up dip for the weekend in return. We’re left to wonder why Sally decided marry and stay with him, maybe for stability’s sake to raise Percy. Although obviously we later find out why, but it makes me think about how sometimes we settle for less than we deserve when we’re in a desperate situation.
Trailing back to Percy, we see more of his very low self-esteem in his interactions with his mom. He’s like, I can’t believe my mom does all this stuff for me, I don’t make her life easy; I’m a neurodivergent kid who gets bad grades and constantly gets into trouble, why is she proud of me; the only similarity I have with my mom is our rebelliousness. He only sees his negative sides when he’s truly a caring person and has a strong sense of integrity, and all of these other good qualities that he got from his mom but doesn’t acknowledge.
I didn’t talk about this in my initial analysis on Percy’s core qualities, but something that came up in this chapter is how Percy doesn’t really complain about things that truly bother him. Like he doesn’t exactly bottle things in because he doesn’t want or know how to express his negative feelings, (he’s fairly direct and straight forward tbh, and often uses sarcasm when he’s irked). But it’s more like... he doesn’t want to make a person’s situation worse by adding on his own troubles to their plate? Which is definitely something that formed from the environment he grew up in. Because he already knew that he was a handful for Sally to raise, why ruin the little time we have together by making her more anxious about me? And then it just grows worse as he fits into the role of a leader.
Small things:
Percy leaving Grover at the bus terminal was not very generous of him lol
The way Sally is always like how are you doing? and giving Percy loving touches makes me go uwu
I also now realize that’s probably why Percy is so touchy with Annabeth?? Like that’s just what he picked up from his mom as a way to show love and now I’m like ughhhhhhhhh
Or maybe that’s just a fanon thing but either way I am Soft
In case anyone was wondering, Grover says “Oh Zeus and all the gods!” when he curses. Thank you Ancient Greek classes for sticking with me enough that I can still translate things for fandom purposes 😂
