What have you done?

based on an idea @username8746489 had where sylvie discovered nightmare fuel for the first time on accident while getting bullied by some older kids (and pushing him further into social isolation now that he's known as "that scary kid who could summon someone's worst fear")

a small compilation of Zara talking to her young crew members.

She really does know how to handle each of them. Stern and authoritative with Garan to demand his respect, firm but gentle with Rook as a mentor and the first positive figure in his life, encouraging and comforting with Jay when she needs it most, helping her assuage her guilt... She really is an excellent captain, and there's a reason her crew respected her so much, even though she wasn't as big a name or as flashy with her power as Wolf.

[transcripts under the cut]

Image One:

Garan saw his opportunity and jumped in. “That son-of-a-bitch nearly killed me! He has no place on this crew. You sh-” Zara held up a hand to stop him. “It is not your place to decide who does or does not belong on this crew. I am the captain and my word here is law.” Garan opened his mouth but she kept going. “I will handle this. Go see Kholl to get your arm splinted. And while you’re down there, send someone up to take your place for the rest of the shift. And Garan,” she fixed him with her best commanding stare, “do not forget that on this crew you will treat your fellow crew mates with respect.” Garan looked as though he wanted to argue, but she held his gaze and he eventually moved off towards the hatch leading belowdecks. She could hear him grumbling as he went, and made a mental note to ask some of the other crew members what he was saying about this later.

Image Two:

Once he was gone, she turned her attention to Rook. He was looking at the floor now, and still hadn’t spoken. “Rook, what happened? You’re not usually careless with your knots.” When he said nothing she added, “You can be honest. I’m not going to throw you off the crew.” She paused. “It wasn’t intentional, was it?” He still remained silent, but shook his head slightly. Zara sighed. “You made a mistake, and that mistake hurt a crew member. That’s not something to be taken lightly. It wasn’t intentional, and no one was seriously hurt, which is a blessing. But you can’t take shortcuts when it comes to sailing, especially not the rigging. One mistied knot can cost someone their life, or a ship its mast.” Rook was still staring at the floor, not seeming to hear any of her words. Zara frowned. “Rook, are you listening to me?” 

Image Three:

“What’s going on? Will he be okay?” she asked, voice shaking. Zara forced her own voice to stay steady. “He was bitten by an Amaru.” Jay’s face fell, tears welling up in her eyes. “Kholl thinks he can pull through, though.” She handed Jay the list Kholl had written. “He said to give you this. It’s instructions for an antidote.” Jay froze, mouth dropping open in shock. “He wants me to make it?” She took a half-step back. “I- I’ve never done something like this, I’m not sure I can-” Stepping closer to her, Zara put an arm on Jay’s shoulder and squeezed gently, cutting her off. “Kholl has faith that you can do this. And so do I. Now, go, quickly. Rook’s counting on you.” Jay nodded. “Yes, captain.” She took off towards the ladder, nearly at a sprint, the instructions for the antidote clutched tightly in her hand.

Image Four:

Kholl seemed to recognize this and sighed, shaking his head as he left. As soon as he was gone, Jay turned to Zara. “It’s my fault,” she blurted out. “It’s my fault he’s…” she trailed off as her voice grew choked.  Zara gently placed a hand on her shoulder. “It’s not your fault. Rook chose not to tell anyone he was bitten.” She shook her head. Rook was quick-witted and a fast learner, but gods he could be foolish sometimes, especially when it came to his own life. Jay shook her head. “You don’t understand. I knew he was hurt and I didn’t check the wound or send him to the infirmary. If I had…” Tears welled up in her eyes. “If I had known he was bitten, not clawed, he’d be fine now, right? And now he might die, and it would be all my fault.” “He told you it was a claw wound?” Zara asked, brow furrowing in confusion. Why would he lie about what had hurt him? “No, that’s why it’s my fault. He said it was just a scratch and I assumed he meant a claw.” “Jay, there’s no way you could have known what he meant.” “But I’m a healer! I should have looked at the wound!” “You are not at fault for his decisions.” Taking Jay by the shoulders, Zara gently pushed her towards the door. “It’s been a long day, and you’ve done a lot. Do as Kholl said and get some rest.” When Jay hesitated, she added, “I’ll tell you if anything changes with Rook.”

one problem with felix is that I keep going 'oh you know what would be a completely logical consequence of the life circumstances he's experienced which are completely different than mine' where the answer is something I almost immediately recognize as being devastatingly relatable to myself

Also decided to give a go to the caption thing again since this one’s rather dialogue-heavy!

[Panel 2] Peepers: Uhm...sir? Hater: What. Peepers: Could you- do you have the full paperwork on our health plan?

[Panel 3] Hater: Health plan? Peepers what in grop’s name are you talking about??

[Panel 4] Peepers: It’s really no big thing, I just wanted to see what was (and wasn’t) covered-

[Panel 5] Hater: Commander Peepers. Are you planning to commit insurance fraud on my dime? And you’re asking me how?

[Panel 7] Peepers: P- hahahaha! I would never dream of it, Lord Hater!

[Panel 8] Hater: Then-? Peepers: I just want to see what’s covered, sir. Like I said already...

[Panel 9] Hater: Hrmph. It’s all personally approved by me, so feel free to ask, Commander.

Now that we have those lil veilguard backstory things based on the faction you pick from the character creator and we've seen more of the gameplay... do y'all have any plans for your first rook already? what class/faction/race are y'all thinking? do you already have thoughts about their personality or backstory?

For my first playthrough I'm leaning towards an elven rogue antivan crow right now I think but it's really hard to pick

Just finished reading pez dispenser debris.

Firstly: crying, screaming, throwing up, ball’s to the wall insane. I am taking this fic between my teeth and shaking it furiously like a dog with its favorite toy. I am running circles in my enclosure just to bleed off some of the emotions this experience has given me.

Secondly: this fic is heart wrenching. All of the things I would’ve wished had been addressed in canon content of BNHA. How does Horikoshi throw away one of the biggest points that enraptures the audience into caring about Izuku? How does the narrative seemingly forget the entire reason he was so fervent in chasing his dream as a hero? I think this is one of the biggest gripes I have about the series, and it’s the one that’s only ever been remedied by amazing fic writers like you.

How do you face the part of yourself you’ve seemingly buried and forgotten? How do you come to terms with the fact that horrible things happened to you by no fault of your own? What’s the fallout of realizing that the people who should’ve cared and protected you might’ve also been hurting you all along?

Where do you even begin in this entire mess?

A part of me, despite the fantastical elements of the medium itself, feels so incredibly seen by this. It’s incredibly difficult, making amends with the part of yourself that was so deeply hurt in the past. It’s a part of life, i think, to learn to walk beside that part of you, to lay it to rest and acknowledge that it will always be there. Izuku, of course, has done none of this, and in this lies the crutch of the matter that’s the center of this fic. I’m happy I stumbled across this fic, even though I haven’t consumed BNHA content in years.

That being said, do you allow any works inspired by your own? I need to put down some of the emotional toll this fic has done to me on paper. Apologies for the ramble, i am just really passionate about this fic. Hope to see more of your work in the future!

I’m so so happy you like it! I wanted pez dispenser debris to be this horrible reconciliation with the part of you that was still hurt and mad about it, and I’m so glad that resonated.

And absolutely, go for it! I’m thrilled it made enough of an impact to make you want to make something too. I do usually ask that you stick in a note or link or something giving credit to the original fic, and if you’re comfortable with it, send me a link to anything you publish and I’d love to boost it here!

Ooo, fascinating! Two outta three sibling pairs,, now I’ve GOTTA hear about the third 👀

Oh, that’s Fangs and Ivy! Surely, I didn’t make it too obvious…

I don’t know how the other sibling pairs are gonna work in terms of ages. The Jupiter/Wind Chime and Hurricane/Aviator pairs were a year apart originally, but then how could they be in the same grade level if being held back/skipping a grade didn’t occur? I’m trying to figure that out. But Fangs and Ivy are twins! They were always twins. I love them being twins.

They were estranged twins for a while. Actually, the killing game was sort of their reunion after half a decade of not seeing each other.

Without getting too deep into it, they were born in a sort of secluded community. A religious community, I guess you could say. Their mother is out of the picture and their father is the sort of patriarch of their town. They don’t communicate with outsiders often and most of their education and labor revolves around their religion…

It’s a cult. They were born into a cult.

I don’t really want to get too caught up in that aspect of it, but that plays a big factor into their character’s and backstories, especially Ivy.

But the reason they’re estranged is because Fangs managed to escape and live in the real world for a while. It took some getting used to, but she now feels like a full-fledged member of society. And her one goal since then was to get her brother out of that situation as well. So she got to investigating and researching her old home. And she may have solved some other related cases along the way, which got her a whole lot of attention. That’s why she got scouted. She’s in that sort of Ultimate Detective field. And she’d be lying if she said she welcomed the attention. In reality, it just takes time away from what she’s trying to do.

Ivy, on the other hand, is like the mandatory “heir” ultimate of the cast. He’s (reluctantly) working to be his father’s successor and take leadership of the community when he’s of age. He’s already idolized by the population there because of his blindness. (If I didn’t mention it or make it clear, he’s blind). They think that his blindness gives him some sort of heightened supernatural abilities from their god (like he was chosen or something), and believe that their god would reward him for serving them by granting him his sight when he becomes leader.

But that’s very far from the truth. He’s actually just disabled and is having a lot of trouble trying to communicate that. Growing up with these people has lead him to having a sort of fucked up soft spot for them. But it can only go so far because of what he’s endured.

But maybe things can change when they reunite in the killing game.

Random Kirby Headcanon #6

Zan Partizanne, despite not being biologically related to her father, also has a delusion disorder and can sometimes believe things that are not true. One in particular she comes back to a lot is that she and her sisters aren’t actually alive and/or weren’t people before Hyness rescued them, them actually just being weapons he brought to life and imbued with false memories. This seems to be representative of both the fact that she feels like Hyness alone gave her a purpose and that she’d strongly prefer not to acknowledge her prior life.

Initially, Hyness and the others were very distressed by these claims, but nowadays they just kind of leave her be. The thought seems to bring her comfort, and so as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone there’s no real point in trying to argue with her when she experiences these things.
