Year in review - 2020

2020 has been a mixed bag of an year. Where on one hand it has been a raging dumpster fire with a global pandemic, lockdowns, social distancing, online schools, politics, forest fires, Karens and the general sense of ennui that the year brought. On the other hand, the year gave us all time. Time to reflect on ourselves. Time to teach ourselves new things. Time to binge watch. And boy did the streaming platforms make full use of it. Listed below are the best things I saw in 2020. (Across languages and in no specific order.) IT IS A LONG POST. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

HINDI Thappad: Dir: Anubhav Sinha. Starring: Tapasee Pannu, Pavail Gulati, Diya Mirza, Kumud Mishra and Ratna Pathak Shah. On surface level, the premise seems frivolous. After all, it was just a slap. Just. One. Slap. Yet, with that one slap, the protagonist’s neatly organized world comes apart at the seams. From there begins Amruta’s (Tapsee Pannu) journey into exploring the micro-aggressions and tiny slights that she has turned a blind eye to, for the sake of keeping peace. The film never veers into a glorification of violence nor does it get overly preachy. It is a mirror to the patriarchal society and raises pertinent questions about the things that the society as normalized. Things that shouldn’t be normalized.

Bulbbul: Dir: Anvita Dutt. Starring: Tripti Dimri, Avinash Tiwari, Rahul Bose, Parambrata Chatterjee and Paoli Dam.

Horror does not always lie in the things that go bump at night. Sometimes, horror is what society expects of you. Horror is the consequence of not fitting into the role that has been written for you. Sometimes, it is terrifying to be a woman in a male-dominated society. That is what Bulbbul explores. Wrapped in a beautiful package, Bulbbul tells the raw story of a child-bride who is punished, harshly, inhumanly, for acting her age. If you haven’t seen it yet, drop everything and watch it. It’s on Netflix.

Lootcase: Dir: Rajesh Krishnan. Starring: Kunal Khemu, Rasika Duggal, Vijay Raaz, Gajraj Rao.

This was a charming little movie that had me in splits. A story of a simple man who chances upon a bag full of money. What follows is a hilarious tale of lies, deception and comedy of errors. Kunal Khemu proves that Bollywood does not realize just how talented he is. Vijay Raaz’s deadpan comedy and Gajraj Rao’s evil smiling desperation are a delight to behold. I’m smiling even as I am writing this. This was fun!

Raat Akeli Hai: Dir: Honey Tehran. Starring: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte, Ila Arun, Shweta Tripathi, Tigmanshu Dhulia.

This was India’s answer to Knives Out. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is at his finest as the honest and frustrated (in more ways than one) police officer who finds himself attracted to the mistress of the murdered man. What follows is a tale so full of twists and turns that I could not predict where it is going. When you have Siddiqui at the helm, you are almost certain to get a good film. But when he is backed by stellar performance from the able cast, that takes the film to another level altogether.

Patal Lok: Dir: Avinash Arun and Prosit Roy. Starring: Jaideep Alhawat, Niraj Kabi, Abhishek Bannerjee, Swastika Mukherjee, Gul Panang, Ishvaak Singh.

Wow. Just. Wow. This is arguably the BEST thing that I have seen all year. On the surface this is an attempted murder case. But what it actually is, is a mirror to our society. It is a human story. A story of greed, corruption, power, violence, misogyny, depravity and true evil. It is a story of love, hope, support, kindness and humanity. It is a story of us. My hats off to the entire cast and crew for coming up with something truly special.

ENGLISH

Haunting of Bly Manor: Created by: Mike Flannagan. Starring: Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Amelia Eve, T’Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli.

Based on Henry Jame’s Turn of the Screw, this was a poignant tale of love, loss and pain. While it pales in comparison to its brilliant predecessor, Haunting of the Hill House, and the 1961 screen adaptation of the novel, The Innocents, Bly Manor still manages to be a worthy watch. In Mike Flannagan’s deft hands, we get to see a completely different perspective of the Haunting. I won’t say more, for spoilers, but this was definitely one of the better things I watched this year. Especially since I almost eschewed English movies/series this year. (I did watch some forgettable movies like Extraction and Mulan, but even mentioning them here feels sacrilegious.)

Korean

This year, I returned to Korean Dramas after a long time. My last Korean Drama before this year was Faith that I saw in 2014. Since Boys Over Flowers (Read Kim Bum) is my guilty pleasure watch, I decided to have it on in the background sometime in March or April this year. (Honestly, in 2020, who knows?). BOF took me to The King: Eternal Monarch. And TKEM introduced me to Woo Do Hwan who gave me some of the best times in this year. Three of his dramas feature here.

Save Me:- Dir: Kim Sung-soo. Starring: Ok Taec-yeon, Seo Yea-ji, Woo Do Hwan, Jo Sung-ha, Jo Jae-yoon.

Do you fancy a kick to your teeth? Because that is what this series is. What starts a simple story of a regular family’s struggles upon moving to a new town, quickly turns into a harrowing nightmare in which you are simply the viewer. The story delves into cults and the insidious power they hold. Through Seo Yea-ji’s brilliant performance as Im Sang-mi, we see a K drama heroine who is not a damsel in distress. She isn’t the one throwing the punches, that is done by Ok Taec-yeon and Woo Do Hwan. Still she is the one that leads the fight. If that wasn’t enough, Woo Do Hwan, plays Seok Dong-chul. Arguably one of the best male leads I have seen.

Mad Dog:- Dir: Hwang Ui-kyung Starring: Yoo Ji-tae, Woo Do Hwan, Jo Jae-joon, Ryu Hwa-young, Kim Hye-sung.

What a treat this show is! Smart protagonists pitted against equally intelligent antagonists and a taut plot that rarely sags (It does sag just a wee bit in the middle but it picks up pace very quickly). Woo Do Hwan is fantastic as the ever changing, tough to pin down, Kim Min Joon. The layers in this character! This show will keep you guessing. Every cast member is stellar and no one has a single misstep. A must watch!

My Country: Dir: Kim Jin-won Starring: Yang Se Jong, Woo Do Hwan, Kim Seol-hyun, Jang Hyuk.

This series brings a set of very complex emotions in me. Don’t get me wrong. I love the series. Its story, characterization, costumes, cinematography, acting, action scenes, OST. They are top notch. A+. But... and this is a big one, this series is also a glaring display of what happens when a writer falls in love with one of their characters. As a writer, I can say that we love all our characters. But it is very dangerous for a writer to move from simply loving the character to falling in love with the character. When that happens, the writer becomes afraid of letting that particular character make mistakes. Or glosses over their flaws. Often at the expense of the other character. Which is what happened here. The writer fell in love with Seo Hwi and Nam Seon ho paid the price. Hwi could literally assassinate people in front of Hui Jae and still be forgiven for it, while Nam Seon-ho gets demonized for trying to save Hwi by telling lies. I could go on and on about how unfair this series was to Seon-ho, but that would be a separate post altogether.

Tale of a Gumiho: Dir: Kang Shin-hyo Starring: Lee Dong Wook, Jo Bo-ah, Kim Bum.

I started this series for Kim Bum (I LOVE THE GUY). I was prepared for some cheesy, goofy fun with some good looking people. But soon, I was watching it for the story. A smart Urban Fantasy with elements of Korean Mythology, this was UF done right! This series made me do research. I am so tired of seeing the same old myths in fantasy that this came as a breath of fresh air. Intelligent protagonists who communicate well (gasp! what? That happens?). A flip-flopping anti-hero. A truly psychopathic villain and a bunch of other well-fleshed characters make for one entertaining watch. I highly recommend it.

Chinese:

K-dramas made me revive the Tumblr account that I had created sometime in 2017 and which lay dormant since then. Soon, my Tumblr feed was filled with gifs and metas of a show with pretty men. I did not pay much attention to it, till a post about Jin Ling’s Uncle made me snort. Even though I didn’t understand what it was talking about, it was still funny. Realizing that the show is on Netflix, I saw the trailer and wasn’t impressed. Then there was the length. 50 episodes! Holee-moleee. “No. I ain’t got that much time,” I said and moved on. But then, I saw a gif of a man smiling. I had never seen a smile that dazzling. There was something about that smile that made me go back and click on the first episode. And in less than ten minutes of the episode, they killed the man whose smile drew me to the show. WTF? But I had seen gifs of him. There had to be more. Then, the show began and I had no idea what was happening. I decided no smile could be worth the brain-cells I am having to expend for this. Chuck it. But people in Tumblr said, hold on. You will understand it. Episode 2, and I still wasn’t sold. I gave it till episode 5. Then, before I knew it, I finished the 50 episodes and currently reside in the rabbit hole that is The Untamed.

Dir: Zheng Weiwen and Chen Jialin Starring: Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, and a host of others. I can’t write the name of the entire cast, even though I want to.

PS: In case you don’t know, the man with the pretty smile is Xiao Zhan.

Anonymous Butterfly Soup asks, batch 6

IT’S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BIG TOBLERONE I’M ALIVE

Being covered by a big gaming news site was one of my fantasies, so I’m elated this happened. The article is here, for anyone curious!

More asks under the cut!!

A note before I start -- if you submitted a bug, I saw it!! Thank you for reporting them!

Yes, she did! Her Facebook profile pic is her posing in front of a store at the mall, and you can see Jun’s reflection taking the pic in the store window

Akarsha didn’t realize, but Noelle totally heard it. Noelle kind of had a sense of what was up already, but actually hearing it worried her. She was debating whether or not to intervene when Min showed up.

On a small note, Min trying to cheer Akarsha up slightly improved Noelle’s opinion of Min (even though Min and Akarsha almost end up fist fighting again afterward).

Min plays video games too, imagine them playing Team Fortress 2 and later Overwatch together... Diya, Min, and Noelle have all seen some basic anime like Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh, but Akarsha’s the only real hardcore anime fan. I’m glad she met “Sakura”, “Yuki”, and Ester through the baseball club, because now she has weeb friends to talk about that stuff too.

(Ester is less obvious about liking anime than “Sakura” and “Yuki”, but you can still tell by her outfit’s style. Lowkey but not lowkey enough)

I can totally relate to all of them, but I’d say Diya!

Yes, they grow close over the course of the year and Noelle has to try really hard not to cry LMAO They still keep in touch afterward.

Yep, they both feel this huge gulf between themselves and their parents due to cultural differences. Many Asian immigrant parents are extremely conservative so it feels like they’re on a completely different wavelength from you, and at the same time they have complete power over you. It’s kind of a bad feeling.

...Also, shadowing their faces saved me the work of drawing their different facial expressions.

Min was actually out of town when the fire happened, so Diya had to call her and tell her what happened :( Diya (and eventually Min) sleeps on Noelle’s couch for a bit. Noelle and Akarsha aren’t living together at the time and Noelle has the nicer/cleaner apartment

It sounds really miserable, but they’re ok in the end

Noelle's passion is math and science, so she definitely ends up doing something in STEM that she likes, just not what her parents were expecting. Akarsha is similar and becomes a software engineer -- They’re actually both naturally interested in those subjects, which says a lot about how bad the parental pressure really is.

I like to think Diya and Min actually manage to break into minor league baseball and eventually MLB

Most of my outfit inspiration comes from my tumblr/twitter feeds. I wish I could recommend you fashion blogs, but I’m not following any?! They’re all just fandom mutuals who randomly reblog cool clothes sometimes.

I used to have trouble deciding what clothes characters should wear, so every time I see an image of a cool outfit I save it for reference. After doing this since high school I now have...uh...

And those are just the unorganized ones, the ones i have in folders are like...

Now if I’m stumped for what a character should wear, I just browse these massive folders for inspiration. I can actually pinpoint the omocat jacket that gave me the idea for Min’s:

I thought, “it should be a warning: high voltage sign on the back!”, and then I just went on Google images and looked them up.

Sorry if this isn’t helpful!

I don’t think Min really minds, but The Squad is even better! Deke squad

Yeah, Akarsha’s parents wouldn’t approve either. Out of the main four, Diya is actually the only one whose parents are fine with it

Ooh thank you this is an awesome compliment to receive!!

I REALLY want to make merch some day! I’ve never made physical merch before and I’m a bit intimidated not knowing where to start/how to handle shipping, so it may take a while, though :(

I didn’t give anyone last names and I doubt I ever will, sorry! Feel free to give them your own if you want

This was intentional, but at the same time I can’t believe everyone IMMEDIATELY noticed. You guys are so in tune with 4/20

Diya and Akarsha are Indian, Min-seo is Korean, Noelle is Taiwanese, Chryssa is black, Liz is…mostly Irish, I think? “Sakura” is Pakistani, “Yuki” is Filipino. I’ve heard a lot of guesses for Ester, but she’s half black and half Chinese!

i got u son!!

Thank you, I really love hearing this because the feeling that this narrative was missing was what made me want to make this game in the first place!

you might feel a bit more sympathetic to min when you reach her part of the story! Your mileage may vary, though

If you want to make a game like Butterfly Soup, try the program Renpy! It doesn’t require programming experience to use and there’s a lot of guides online on how to use it. My NUMBER ONE BIG ADVICE IS MAKE A REALLY, REALLY SMALL GAME FIRST. My first game, Pom Gets Wi-Fi, was only 30-45 minutes long. If you make it any bigger than that, you almost guaranteed will never finish it. The dream game that you want to make is probably longer than that, so don’t make your dream game first! That’s kind of why I was so alarmed when Pom Gets Wi-Fi took off -- I’m very proud of that game and still love it, but it was like my test for the games I dreamed of making like Butterfly Soup. (Also, 17 is a great age to start making games, good for you!) Other stuff I’ve learned: Programming: I mostly learned super specific things that can’t be easily applied to other situations. If you want to know how I did a specific thing in Renpy, message me!

Writing: If you’re struggling to write something, it might be for a good reason. Maybe the scene is unnecessary or boring, your mental image of the scene doesn’t translate well to the format of your work, or the character motivations aren’t convincing enough. Deleting a scene altogether isn’t defeat, sometimes it’s the best path forward! Give up more!

Artwise: Drawing for non-pixel art games takes FOREVER. The sheer amount of time it’d take to draw all the characters and backgrounds was so demoralizing that I found myself procrastinating because I didn’t want to tackle it. Not only did I have a large cast of characters (9 in the baseball club alone), but because of flashbacks, I had to draw half of them again as kids!

To anyone thinking about making a game by themselves, SERIOUSLY consider making it a pixel art game. If you’re that set on making a non-pixel art game, SEVERELY limit the number of characters and backgrounds you have to draw!! I’m begging u...learn from my mistakes...

You’re welcome!!! :>

I loved USC! The Interactive Media major was cool and fun -- I met a lot of good friends through the program! It was probably the best few years of my life.

Unfortunately...I felt like it did nothing to prepare me for finding a job. There are very few classes for aspiring game artists and game writers. There wasn’t a single professor who worked as an artist at a triple A studio while I was there, and only one who was a major writer. I get that you gotta be self motivated, but I wish I had someone in the faculty I felt comfortable discussing my career path with. Some of the professors had clear favorite students and if you weren’t one of them, they’d make very little effort to reach out to you or interact with you. I know I'm introverted, but I never got this feeling with my general elective classes -- I had plenty of chances to talk to my writing professor, architecture lab professor, art teacher, etc., yet I came out of a lot of my Interactive Media classes wondering if my professors even remembered me.

If you want to be a game designer or maybe a writer, and are really focused/outgoing with your professors, it could be the major for you, but if you want to be a game artist I’m not sure it’s the best place to be.

I was actually crazy stressed out when it came out, so nope! It’s happening this weekend

I was super nervous right after it came out because I was worried people wouldn’t like it! I put a lot into it, and actually teared up writing parts of it, so it was a ridiculous relief to see that people were touched by it. I’m really happy now and really want to make a sequel. Also, I’m beyond grateful to my friends/mutuals/fans spreading the word and tweeting/posting about the game and making fancontent ;~; I really owe everything to them! A few people wondered about how I was holding up attention-wise, and actually...as a fanartist I sort of thrive on this, haha. Also, this is much less intense than when I released Pom Gets Wi-Fi. For perspective, it took Butterfly Soup a week to reach the number of downloads Pom got in one day.

Good!!! You’re welcome!

you’re welcome!!!

Daily Rikara Ramblings

OMFG I'M SO EXCITED YOU GUISE!! HAPPY OMKARA ROAST DAY!!!!. AAJ TOH QUEENIE'S GONNA DRAG HIM WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE AND I'LL BE CHEERING. I HOPE OMKARA HAS SOME BURNOL READY CAUSE HE'S GON HAVE SOME SRS 3rd DEGREE BURNS!! GOSH, I'VE BEEN EAGERLY WAITING FOR THIS FROM THE PAST TWO DAYS, LIKE AB TOH I'M DYING WITH ANTICIPATION.I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SIT DOWN FOR THIS, I'M SO FUCKING READY!!!! BRING ITTTT AWNNNN!! 💥💥💥💥💥

Gosh, even the precap is LIT!!! 😍😍😍😍

Omg queen is here.

She looks hella mad, like if i were Omkara, I'd be shaking in my boots. Lol.

Omg there's shankarji in the background, looks like someone's prediction is going to come true lol.

"I said stop"

Uh, oh queen looks hella mad😍😧

She's gonna rip apart. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

"It's my turn now"

YES BITCHHHHHI, IT IS YOUR TURN!!!!!! RIP HIM APART!!!NUKE HIM WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFEE.

"I've faced a lot of problems in my life, alone, then you came in my life, I felt as if my Shankarji has sent me, sent you, for me because you saved me from Kali, and then you married me, I fell in love with you. I wanted you to take pride in calling me your wife, wife. I wanted you to love me the way I love you."

NOT FAIR GAURI, I WANTED YOU TO MAKE OMKARA CRY, NOT ME!!! MY BBY, ILYSM. UGH, I'M BAWLING RN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"Socha tha hum apne dil ki baat aapse english me kahenge, par hamein aaj ehsaas ho gaya ki humne kitna galat socha, kitna galat samjha aur GALAT INSAN SE PYAAR KAR BAITHE. CHOT TOH AAPNE HAMEIN PEHLE BHI BAHUT PAHUNCHAYI HAI OMKARAJI PAR AAJ YEH JO ZAKHAM AAPNE HAMARE AATMASAMMAN KO DIYA HAI NA, WOH KABHI NAHI BHAREGA."

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Omg SHANKARJI!!! FUCKKKK, THE PARALLELS, I CAN'T, I CANNOT!!

Shankarji witnessed their shaadi and now he's gon witness the destruction of this shaadi.

Aaj Gauri shankarji k saamne sab bhasam kar degi lol

Waise it's said Lord Shiva is the destroyer and he destroys things so that new things can begin. Maybe this means that this is the end of their toxic relationship, and hopefully, they can start anew, without misunderstandings, without all this bad blood, without all this venom.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Lol.

Ugh the Layak word. 😑😑😑

She looks so broken and hurt, man. Fuck you Omkara, fuck you for making her cry. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

She's ek ek karke giving him her sachai ka suboot. 😭😭😭😭

"Jis Arjun ki baat aap kar rahe they na, woh hamare english teacher hai, guru, uska matlab jaante hai aap, guru hai hamare"

She looks so disgusted with him. Poori ghinn aane wali feeling hai. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

"pyar nahi kiya sirf, pooja ki hai"

Biggest truth of their relationship tbh. Her devotion is even greater than her love tbh. Is se zyada aur kya kar sakti thi Gauri. But Omkara ne na Gauri k devotion ki respect ki and na hi uske love ki. He deserves to burn in hell for what he did to her yesterday.

But she's so done with his bullshit. Thank god.

"Aaj, Abhi, isi waqt, hum aapko har bandhan, har rishte se azad karte hai, aaj k baad gauri kumari sharma ka saaya bhi aap pe nahi padega"

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

And away she walks like the bawse ass bitch she is. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

My God, Gauri Kumari Sharma, you beauty, my eternal queen, I bow to thee!!!! NOT ONLY DID YOU SLAY MY CURRENT LIFE BUT MY NEXT 7 JANAM'S TOO. MY GOD, WHAT A QUEEN. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. AAJ TOH AAG LAGA DI QUEEN AAPNE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And Gosh, kudos to Shrenu Parikh. You're a fuckin legend!!! Looking at this superlative performance, no one can guess you did while still recovering from dengue. Arey dengue se toh acche achhon ki baj jaati hai but aapne toh dengue bhi apne kaam k aage nahi aane diya. What a brilliant khidkitod, darwazetod, palang tod, ghartod, heck laptop, phone sab tod performance!???? You deserve a round of applause and more!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Lol Omkara's face is regret personified. Cry bitch, cry. Ab sari zindagi rota reh akele. Motherfuckin assface. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

Ab maafi mangne aaya hai, chutiya saala, go fuck yourself. Isko koi laat marke bahar nikal do. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Ugh, why doesn't Arjun button up his shirt properly? Poora tharki lag raha hai. 🤣🤣🤣

Lol that Gauri is Arjun's fiance. Still, doesn't explain why he went to that third class hotel with her. Thode better hotel chale jaata bhai.

"Meri Gauri"

You've lost the right to call her that. She's not yours anymore, you ass. Let her fucking gooooo. Tu toh uski maafi k bhi layak nahi hai, you dick.

Ok wtf is this babaji? Also, why are all these babajis always prophesying rikara's relationship? Ek woh dargah wale qayamat babaji they and now this kesariya clothed dude. Koi aur kaam nahi hai kya? Go look for enlightenment or something.

"Bhagya me wahi hai, kar me jo tune boya hai, anmol tha woh ratan abhagey, jisko tune khoya hai"

Omg I take my words back, this dude is legit the entire Gauri fandom lmao. 😂😂😂😂

"Arey, jab bhole baba se bhul ho sakti hai toh insaan kya cheez hai, maa parvati jab rusht hokar kailash chodkar gayi, tab bhole baba jante they woh unse kabhi nahi milegi, tabhi woh unhein manane, besh badal kar gaye, beta, prem me leelayin toh sabhi ko karni padti hai, chahe bhakt ho ya bhagwan"

OMG @cuckoldedbyddlj must be dying at the symbolism!! Dear god! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

BUT, Omkara didn't just make a simple mistake. Like sirf misunderstanding hoti and if he'd just broken up with her, tab main samajhti but no, he made an elaborate, diabolical plan to hurt and humiliate her to the max. This wasn't a galti, this was legit gunah, and gunah ki koi maafi nahi hoti hai. Like the best thing, he can do rn is leave her alone. He isn't good for her, at all.

Also, um this is giving me major michmichis. Lol. Is omkara gonna disguise himself and win Gauri's heart? LOL. OH NO, DON'T TELL ME THIS IS CHULBUL 2.0, OMKARA'S VERSION. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS FUCKERY.

BHNA self insert AU

Nani the heck is this? Read here!

Chapter 5: Y’all Hear Sumthin?

The events of the Forest Camp Arc happened. This is what happened during those times but in my [self insert] perspective.

It’s nearing the end of the semester and everything is more focused on final exams. Iida and I are becoming better friends, most of 1-A ask me to help them with close combat and finishers, final project is coming along and I haven’t told anybody that I was actually Tboone. I don’t have to do the hero licensing or the camp due to my core study being secret service, so I opt’ed out of them to focus on my final project. Kirishima is turning around on me being a spy because of my good standing with everyone, but his guard is still up when I’m around.

-Tuesday, in homeroom-

“Yo Jin, I brought that egg beater we need for our project”

“Yeeesss! this baby is going come to life today!”

“Can’t believe we’ve been working on this project for like 2 weeks and its near completion” said Mimi, still sleepy.

“Right?! Jin coming in clutch with the robotics and my stupid idea.” I said looking at our project rough sketch of a robot dog.

“Nah B, Ita and Mimi coming in clutch with the spare parts and designing” Jin rebutted “also Mimi, you got the progress report ready to turn in today?”

“You know I do baby boi” she said taking out a packet of 6 papers from her binder.

“yee yee!” Jin and I holler.

We work more on our robo-dog in homeroom and then Diya sensei did his student check-ins. Time to time he does check-ins for the class to make sure we’re on track, mental health check, any personal conflict is addressed and advice is given to help us improve. He calls me over.

“Hello Miss Palma, how are you holding up since last time?”

“Hello sensei, I am doing so much better thank you.”

“Great! I have to say, you’d been really hanging in there and improving in your emotions and mental health. I am so glad you have that fighting spirit in you.”

“Thank you sensei, I really have to thank the friends I’ve been making here. They’ve held me together through the difficult firsts”

“Good good, now, is there any conflicts going on?”

“Just the same one, the whole spy thing but it’s starting to waver and the guy is less suspicious of me”

“Okay glad that’s going away, anything else?”

“Nope”

“Alright Miss Palma, my parting advice to you is; Even monkeys fall from trees, be the helpful bystander to help the fallen monkeys back up the tree. Another thing, don’t let go of those two, you three have the best team chemistry of the class and have full potential to be the Big 3 of the department.”

“Oh thank you sensei. I appreciate your advice and kind words.” I say as I bow.

Weapons class was just review on what we faltered in the licensing exam. It was just mostly us training Zippy how to use a parachute. I still don’t know how Diya sensei is letting us have this lizard and being chaotic by letting us commit fraud as a group to give this lizard a license to kill. Zippy can kill me and I’d ok with it.

-In the Hero course classroom, before I arrived-

“Why are your notes in green glitter pen Aoyama-san?” asked Hagakure peering over Aoyama’s shoulder.

“Palma-san gave me three of their glitter pens” said Aoyama scribbling the last of their notes “They had a bunch of extras in their bag and gave me some when I saw how sparkly her notes were.”

“She does have the prettiest stationary,” chimed in Asui “I wonder how her room looks like, kero.”

“Its clean, bright and fragrant” said Iida not thinking of the reactions of the others “she expresses herself through her clothes and work.”

“WAIT! Iida what did you say?” said Midoriya that suddenly was interested in the subject “clean, bright and fragrant? Di-did you go to her place?”

Everyone’s faces perked up and faced Iida, nobody was saying anything but they were all thinking the same thing.

Iida cleared his throat “yes I did go to her place but only to study english! Nothing else.”

“I can’t believe her parents let her bring a boy into their room!” exclaimed Mineta.

“Actually, I didn’t step into her room, we studied in the living room” Iida explained.

“You have to tell us how her family is like! Did they greet you nicely? Did you stay for dinner?” squabbled the girls.

“Um I didn’t see their family, Ita lives alone” Iida said bluntly “she told me that she couldn’t bring her family over and they can’t visit her because it’s too expensive to bring all 4 of them over from America.”

The room went silent, everyone couldn’t believe that Ita was truly alone this whole time. They sort of felt bad that they haven’t spent down time with them outside of class and only asked them for training practice for hours after school. I then walk in, loudly slurping down my coffee.

“Hello everyone!” I say with a tired smile.

“Palma-san! forgive me!” said Uraraka and Midoriya.

“Oh guys its alright! I wasn’t seriously hurt after yesterday’s training session, just a bit bruised” I said assuming that they’re apologizing for roughing me up a bit yesterday with the wrestling moves.

“Not for that!” said Uraraka “why didn’t you tell us that you’re alone here?”

“I’m not alone, I have friends here”

“That not what they meant” spoke up Todoroki “she meant why didn’t you mention that you came to Japan by yourself? And that you live alone this whole time.”

I turn red “who told you all this?”

“Iida-kun did” said Sato.

I turn my gaze to him, he fixed his glasses and I saw that he had a face of regret. Fuck he wasn’t thinking before speaking again.

“Well it’s true, I do live alone. And it’s pretty close by the school, by downtown but don’t see whats the big deal?”

“The big deal is that this whole time we haven’t been good people to you!” said Momo “all we do is ask you for training practice and not ask what are you doing after or if you need company.”

“It’s ok, really” I said in a disarming manner “I don’t really want that much company, I like this alone lifestyle! Back in America, I had to live with my parents and 2 siblings in one house and I hardly had a break or time to myself.”

I then take out my phone. “see, this is my family. I did all the chores, half of all the cooking, all the linen laundry, care for the dogs AND go to school and do all my things there! Do you understand how liberating it is to not wake up to chaos and dodge fire fits when the food isn’t cooked to their liking?!”

Everyone looked at my parents and siblings, there was a planter on fire in the background along with some scrap metal. They saw how short my mother is and the curly hair that runs in the family and how much stronger my siblings were in comparison because they were tossing me around like I was a ball as my father and mother were sitting in patio chairs, looking at us.

“Don’t you miss them though?” said Asui “at least your mother, kero?”

“I do miss them but not the living conditions” I say as I walk to my seat “I talk to them on the phone and text daily, so it’s not like I’m completely separated from them.”

Class starts and sensei announces that the class will be used for extra practice for the upcoming exams. I have the option to practice with them or not and I choose yes but on alternating days because I want to work on my final project. I have special ground rules for practice combat with the hero class:

No real ammo

Net gun ok

No lasers

No real blades

No explosives

Stun and Flash tools ok

Must forfeit all pocket items

“Ok Miss Palma” said Aizawa sensei, holding out his hand “forfeit your pocket items and brief them for me.”

“Here’s my pocket sand” as I take a plastic baggie of sand out of the pocket of my costume “used for crude blindness technique, may cause permanent damage”

“Here’s my mini harmonica” as I take out an inch long, 6 hole harmonica “used for distraction, disabling and/or temporary deafness”

“Here’s the final item, a four piece chicken nugget from Mcdonalds” as I take out a box with said nuggets “used for bait, decoy, ration, projectile and/or distraction.”

Everyone looks at me like they want to know the connection between the 3 items and why are they used for combat? We head to the locker rooms and I have to use the 1-A girl’s locker room because reasons. So I’m in there and I ask if I could play music because it pumps me up for a good fight. The girl say yes thinking I was gonna play something pop, I play Let it Go by Higher Brothers ft BlocBoy JB. I was just getting lit, strapping on my weapons on my body and putting on my steel toe boots. The girls take a good look of my body, I didn’t care if they saw that I had two tattoos, the school knows I have them and they’re non affiliated with any gangs.

“why are most of ya’ll costumes skin tight?” I said as I cock one of my paint guns.

“Why do you have like 5 guns on you?” said Kirishima.

“Shut ya mouf nipple boy” I said with the roasting hand gesture “at least my chest will be covered if I get shot.”

I see the other boys and I get my roast on.

“Boi they did you dirty with that diaper, Why do you look like a literal robot, You still look like broccoli, that just looks like street clothes, did some of yall not get creative?”

The training slowly turned into ‘Don’t let Palma-san find you’ because I capture and counter anything they throw at me. Kirishima thought he could attack me from the sky, but made the mistake of announcing himself with a battle cry. As cool as I could, I just aimed my paint gun on his nipples and shot him while he was in the air. He cried “my nipples!” and then I hit him with the net gun to soften his fall. Momo thought a wall would stop me, she forgot I could levitate and she wasted all her energy in a pointless wall. When we had to pack up, I was the last one to get to the locker room because I dropped one of my weapons in the heat of my tussle with Tokoyami. I get there, not knowing there was some boys following me.

“Yo! she’s the only one in there!” said Kaminari to Mineta

“Imagine what kind of frilly underwear she wears!” Mineta said peering into the cracked locker room door.

I start to take of my visor and utility belt, letting out a stressed out groan. It gets the attention of Iida that thinks I’m in pain and runs to the direction of the noise. He sees the two pervs peeking in,

“I can’t believe you two! Peeking on whoever is in there so non-discreetly!”

“Iida-san! We were just-”

“Enough!” Iida said as Mineta tripped over and opened the door wide open.

I had my skirt, under shirt and hair re-done at that point, only my shoulders and neck were exposed. I hear the noise of somebody falling behind me and I just thought it was Uraraka because she left her uniform blazer on the bench.

“Ochako be more careful, you almost-” I stop and see that it was Iida, Mineta and Kaminari.

“Ok I expected Mineta and Kaminari” I say pointing at them with my pink lip balm “but Iida? What did he do?”

As the other two explained, Iida couldn’t stop staring at my two tattoos. I could tell he was overthinking the worst. He snaps out of it and drags the other two out without saying anything. I finish getting dressed and teleport out to the commons room, just in case Iida was waiting to confront me outside the gym. Lunch passes then Jin and I work on the robo-dog in our intelligence workrooms. Suddenly the P.A. activates

“Itati Palma to the principal’s office, Itati Palma to the principal’s office”

“What did you do?!” Jin said worriedly

“ugh it’s glasses, he saw my tattoos while I was getting dressed to go to lunch”

“oh Neptune, good luck with that mess”

I teleport to the principal’s office, I know I wasn’t in any actual trouble, I was the one being peeked and walked in on. I slide the door open and see The Rat, Iida, Midnight and All Might. Great, now American Stereotype Man is going to know about my little body art incident.

“Oh Miss Palma that was fast, please sit down” said principal Nezu, a Powerful Rat.

“Thank you and hello to everyone else”

Iida doesn’t look at me or said hello back. Just when I thought we were friends but its not the worst thing to end a friendship.

“As you know, Miss Palma got peeked on after training with 1-A and Mr. Iida here caught a glimpse of her body art.”

“Her tattoos?” Midnight spoke up “did he see her breasts? anything below the belt?”

“NO I just saw her fully clothed with exposed neck and shoulders” Iida started “I got sight of her tattoos on both shoulders and needed to tell somebody in the staff.”

I sit uncomfortably because I know whats coming next.

“Tattoos!? On a young teen?! Are you involved in gang activity young lady?!” scolded All Might.

“No Yagi” spoke up the Rat “Miss Palma’s tattoo’s are ceremonial, non affiliated with any organized crime.”

“Itati, would you like to explain the stories behind the tattoos and placement?” coaxed Midnight “I love the way you say the story.”

I sit up and cleared my throat “I got my crossbones tattoo when I left the united states to signify leaving my old life behind. And I got my sugar skull tattoo when I completed basics in Austria before going to Japan, to signify my culture and roots. I got them on my shoulders so I can never forget who I am, where I came from and remind me why I should keep fighting to be the best I can be.”

Iida’s attitude changed after hearing me explain “Well that would mean you should cover them up that much more.”

“I do, you walked in on me” I said sassing him “besides, I don’t care who sees, its art I WANT people to look when I wear something that shows them off”

The meeting was dismissed and I head to the hallway to teleport out, then Iida grabs my shoulder.

“Wait Ita”

“Oh what is it?”

“I’m- I’m sorry, I’ve been such a bad friend, I just wanted to protect you”

“Tenya, I used a gun on you in training, like, I shot you right in the neck while you were trying to whirlwind me. I THINK I can protect myself.”

“Right BUT I really feel bad now, your secret is safe with me!”

“Yes but are you forgetting that Kaminari and Mineta saw too?”

Iida’s face went white “Oh no! you’re right!” he panicked “what now? They can’t keep this secret we-”

“I’m just going to ‘fess up” I said as I put my hand on his mouth “I don’t want to hide myself anymore now that I know people care about me being alone.”

Iida holds my hand that covered his mouth “you really are the bravest one of us all”. I feel the sweatiness of his hand and I politely pull my hand away to wipe it on my sleeve.

“Well see you later! I was in the middle of my project”

I teleport out as that lemon haired boy walked down the hall with his 2 friends.

“See Mirio! That was her!”

“Teleportation? Interesting but I feel like that isn’t her only quirk, her file said 2 quirks in the psychic and mimic categories.”

“I still feel we shouldn’t have read her file, it felt wrong plus it was incomplete.”

“In any case, we now have a face to the name so we can appropriately approach her later.”

Nobody really believed Mineta and Kaminari that they saw my tattoos and Iida denied it to further protect me. My final project is near completion and looking promising, meanwhile, the events of the shopping center happened. The day of forest camp training comes and I go to the school to see the class off.

“Good luck everyone!”

“Thanks Palma-san”

“Oh Sato-san!” I said as I took out a treat box out of my tote bag “here’s your order of cookies!”

“Oh yea thanks! Here’s the rest of the money I owe for them” Sato said taking out a few bills from his pocket.

“You sold Sato-san some of your cookies?” asked Todoroki

“I’ve been selling cookies to him since my 1st day with yall” I said putting the cash in my wallet “And also to the staff, some other students in my program and the people that work at my complex. Its nice to have some pocket money, I’m currently saving up to buy a fancy pantsuit for presentations.”

“I’D LIKE TO MAKE AN ORDER!” Iida said raising his hand, making a scene.

“Oh alright, you want to text me it and what day you want them by?” I said a bit startled.

“Oh right because I’m leaving for a while hehe” he said realizing his mistake “ well, um surprise me and I’ll go get them when we come back”

They board the bus and Iida gave me a tight hug “I promise we’ll be safe so we can spend the rest of the hot weather together” hugging me tighter.

“oof you’re squeezing the soul outta me Tenya” I say breathlessly “I’m looking forward to that, take care now.” He lets go and boards the bus. I wave them out and head home to work on my project. Some days pass and word gets out that there was a villain attack and Bakugo got taken. I get worried as did the rest of the school when it shut down until further notice. The Bakugo rescue unfolded and Mimi, Jin and I watched it on TV at Mimi’s place.

“Man fuck these kids” Jin said “because of their little stunt, we might get stricter rules on all departments.”

“They fucking would ruin everything because of their heroics” I groan out.

“What now bbys? I’m scared! I don’t want us to get hurt or separated.” Mimi said in near tears.

We hug Mimi and just hold each other because we feel the same way... What now?

-3 days later, at my apartment-

I get a visit from Midnight. And they lay the news on me that there’s going to be dorms for 1-A Hero and intelligence programs, due to the nature of our training and program structure.

“That’s good news, but what about my situation here?”

“we worked it out with your case manager and if there’s an occasion to not have the dorms, you can come back to the protected complex.”

“Ok good! I was worried for a bit there” I said relieved.

“but there is one thing the district messed up on and we kinda can’t fix”

“oh? what is it?”

“Since your file is incomplete with personal information like quirks, core program, photo ID, ethnicity and gender ID; they put your assigned dorm in the boys section of the hero section .” Midnight broke the news to me gently.

“That’s a big mix-up, oh boy” I said taking it surprisingly well.

“Yea, sorry sweetheart but Nezu and I are working hard to get you in the right dorms.” Midnight said as she gathered her files “if anything happens while you’re in the boys dorms, its on terms to get you moved where you belong.”

“Thank you Midnight, I’ll keep that in mind while I start packing up here.”

“You’re welcome, oh! and you’ll have a parking space as well so you can bring your car too.”

Oh jeez my car! I’m gonna get exposed real fast. I see Midnight off and start packing, as I only have 3 days until move in day. Morning of, I make some cookies and do a last quick clean of everything before loading up my car. I say my goodbye to the juicer and left a note for the next person ‘to the next tenant, this thing doesn’t fit in my luggage. Hope you make good use of it like I have!’ I have a good laugh and leave. The dorms are closer to the school, like less than 2 miles away, so I could just teleport to school. I drive up extra early so nobody would see me in my car. Midnight let me in early to move in and it wasn’t too bad, it was like the size of my room back home. I get a text while I was putting my clothes away, it was Mimi.

[BBYGRL! did you move in yet?]

[yee I’m in the middle of putting away my clothes]

[already? you work fast! you should come over to kickback!]

[:3 yee yee! will do when nobody notices]

[litty! see you l8er then!]

[UwU]

I hear the others walk up and down the hall and I just hope nobody notices my name plate. I then hear the following outside in the hall,

“Palma-san? what the?”

“Do you think they’re a trap?”

“No can’t be, maybe just a mistake!”

“SHHH! you don’t want Iida to hear you, he might get defensive again!”

“UGH! those two need to get together already!”

“Can’t believe neither of them have made a move”

“I saw them holding hands the other day”

“REALLY?! damn so sneaky”

“oh shit he’s coming shhh shhh shhh!”

I turn my lights to dim so nobody knows I’m here, that failed miserably. As I finished my decor and put my fresh flowers in a vase on my window ledge, Iida kicks the door open.

“ITA!”

I turn around slowly with my ‘bitch are you foreal’ face. “hi, have you ever heard of knocking, you should try it sometime.”

“oh sorry but- why are you here? in the boys dorms?”

I explain the situation and how I got here with my car.

“Oh I see now” Iida said in deep thought “So you just are going to live with it until they move you to the intelligence dorms”

“yeah, thats the plan” I said as I fix my flowers “its going to be strange living with yall, but I love new and positive experiences.”

Iida looks at me fixing my flowers and to the rest of my room, tones of pink and orange candy colors with the fragrant flowers makes him associate them with her. He was falling deeper and it was hard deny it but it’s going to take a backseat to the issues at hand. The room contest starts and when everyone saw my room, they were floored with how different it was than they expected.

“Iida-kun was right! it does smell fragrant in here!” said Momo

“You have a makeup vanity?! Such pretty colors and sparkly things, you have to do my makeup someday!” squealed Hagakure.

“What’s that stand for?” asked Jiro.

“oh that? its my music stand, I play the saxophone and I’m really good at it so from time to time you’ll hear me play jazz music to upkeep my chops.”

“what can’t you do Palma-san?!” said Midoriya “you’re like the perfect student, daughter, sister, future wife to a certain person that won’t speak up-”

“I don’t know about all that but I’m terrible at math! If any of yall can help me with that, I’d love you forever!”

“aw shit I’m bad at math too!” Kaminari muttered under their breath.

We see the other rooms and I see that I’m only 5 doors away from Iida and I’m right across from Aoyama. I get ready to sneak to the intelligence dorms, but then remembered that I can’t use the bathrooms the same time as the boys and it’s inconvenient to use the girl’s the floor up. I wait until everyone gets in their dorms to take a shower, I go in the bathroom and see that theres open showers BUT there’s also bathtubs. The plan was to take a shallow bath (a bath with the water to waist level when sitting down in the tub), rinse and dry quickly to teleport back to the room, then sneak out. I take the bath and I dim the lights to a minimum just so anyone that enters won’t see me but give me enough time to dip into the tub to hide. I was about to rinse and I hear somebody walk in but didn’t turn the lights on. I hear them muttering and panting while they were pacing near the sinks, they start talking at normal level and I knew it was Tokoyami

“ok dark shadow I get it! She’s right next to my room but I shouldn’t”

“hehehehe you chicken of a man, that glasses wearing robot isn’t going to claim her”

“I wouldn’t dare, they belong together! She’s just being nice to me”

“STUPID! she wants the bird-”

Suddenly Aizawa busts in and scolds Tokoyami for still being up. Phew there’s my chance to finish up. I teleport to my room, shit Aizawa is on patrol, suddenly I get an idea: solo operation STEAL AND SNEAK, code name- Double S. The plan is to teleport in front of somebody’s dorm-room, knock and give them the sobbing and tears, say I sleep-teleported and I need to calm down a bit, copy their quirk then use said quirk to sneak to the intelligence dorms. Now whom do I go to? Hagakure! The plan was risky but she took the excuse and it worked better in my favor. I sneaked out invisible and naked to the intelligence dorms, teleported back to my dorm to change and teleported back to kickback until 4am. I took a 3 hour nap and said to myself ‘better teleport to my dorm before anybody gets concerned, its still early enough not to be sus’ problem is, when I drink and get tipsy or black out drunk, my teleportation isn’t as accurate. So when I teleported, I teleported 3 feet above the shared space in front of the dining area, in front of everyone.

I groan as I hit the floor hard, “oof, that’s not what I meant to do-” I look up to see everyone in 1-A trying to enjoy breakfast, fuck what do I say?!

“Oh hi yall~hehehe funny how we uhhh just uhhh-”

“Ita what happened?!” Iida said, running toward me “were you in danger? are you hurt?”

“oh what nooooo~” I said stumbling to stand up “I just dropped in to eat som fawkin’ food.”

“Palma-san you smell like flammables” said Todoroki “and you’re not wearing sleepwear.”

“oh that’s just my morning scent! hehehe~ and yall don’t wear crop tops and velvet shorts to bed? its like super-”

“Did you sneak out?” Uraraka confronted me “your makeup is smeared, your hair is messed up and you’re missing a sandal.”

I look down and saw that I was in fact, wearing one sandal. FUCK! they’re on to me.

“hahahaha well would you look at that!” I said as I did finger guns “better uhhh wash up before-”

Suddenly Jin portals in “Yo! found your sandal bitch! it was in the freezer” and proceeds to throw my cold sandal at me.

“THANKS JIN I TOTALLY NEEDED YOUR PRESENCE RIGHT NOW!”

“You’re welcome, I love you baby girl~” he sassed me as he portaled out.

Turn to everybody and they had their eyes wide open, they could not believe that I pulled off such a thing.

“hehehe I’ll go and uh defrost my sandal” I say walking away to my room. I literally could’ve pulled it off if Jin didn’t portal in. I change, wipe off my makeup, contemplate if I should even leave my room for the day, then walked back to the dining area. Everyone is still there, including Aizawa, fuck me right in the pussy with a rake mom! Now I’m deep trouble.

“Good morning Miss Palma, rough night?” said Aizawa, sipping coffee.

“Oh good morning! I guess you could say that” I said going into the open kitchen to pour myself coffee.

“Hm, from the sound of your dorm-mates, sounds like you just came back from an adventure!” he said putting his cup down “mind telling me the details?”

I take a deep breath and a sip “Ok so what happened after you scolded Tokoyami for still being up, I was in the bathroom at the same time and cleaned up to go sneak into the intelligence dorms with my classmates to kickback and celebrate the move in. In order to sneak out, I had to bypass the security robots and others that might hear, so I teleported to Hagakure’s dorm and tricked them to let me touch their face to copy their quirk to get to the dorms invisible, teleport back to my dorm to change and teleport again to the kickback.”

“wow, that was quite the plan Miss Palma and well thought out” he said standing up “you aren’t in trouble, I just wanted to see if it was true because that’s quite a heist you pulled on everyone.” He turns to the others “Miss Palma here has different rules and regulations from the rest of you, if any of you sneak out, it won’t matter how you pull it off you will get in trouble.” He walks to the sink and rinses his cup and Iida speaks up.

“Sensei! what do you mean she’s not in trouble? She clearly violated many rules!”

“She’s technically not my student, she’s part of the Intelligence 1-A and they basically have one rule, don’t damage school property.” He says as he turns off the water. “So she can violate curfew, drink alcohol, smoke, sneak out, etc. And I trust her, she has a good head on her shoulders to think things through.”

Aizawa walks away and I have everyone’s eyes on me, I suddenly became envied by the class. I don’t pay any mind to it and continued my day like I usually do when I lived alone. There was a knock on my door while I was working on the fur coat for robo-dog.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Ochako and Asui”

“oh come in!”

They walk in and see me with my sewing machine and the fur pelt I was working on.

“We need to talk, real girl talk”

“oh ummm alright”

“You have a crush, don’t you Palma-chan, kero”

“ok 1) I do, 2) Just call me Ita, I hate being called chan”

“AHHH! I told you Asui! She does have a crush!”

“who is it Ita-san? kero”

“oh jeez, can you keep a secret?”

They do the mouth zipper motion.

“Ok so I don’t know his name but I’ve seen them a few times at school.”

“oooh! can you describe them?”

“yea, he’s tall, strong body, lemon-yellow hair, blue eyes, very nice and is always seen with 2 other people.”

“hmm, they might be an upper class man BUT what do you think of Iida-kun?”

“Iida, he’s nice but a bit over protective of me. I think of him as the parent-peer”

“But what about all that hugging and hand holding? and having lunch under the tree, kero?”

“He hugs me alot, but everyone that’s close to me does that. He holds my hand when it gets crowded and I’m falling behind him, sometimes when I injure them. He sometimes brings me food but we spend time alone so he can talk to me about his personal things. It’s not a huge deal, people do that to me because they care, I’m used to it.”

“Do you realize that he has an unbearable crush on you?”

“what? I don’t think he does”

“He does! He was going to confess that day when he downed that iced coffee, kero.”

“Yea! he had a note and everything but he got cold feet and didn’t give it to you.”

“I still don’t believe it! Look, the signs might point to that but I want him to tell me himself, when he’s ready. Iida seems like the type to love for the long run, and to be quite honest, I’m a wild and free soul and I know I’m too young to be settling like that. I already had my first kiss and boyfriend back when I was in middle school”

“But if he does confess, would you give him a chance?”

“I would actually, it’s not a far step for friends to become loves BUT he has to tell me or he’ll lose me to somebody else. I don’t wait around if everyone wants a piece of me.”

They leave after a while and I sit and think, this whole dorming thing is going to be a living nightmare for me. Meanwhile, the girls go to Iida to tell him what I just said,

“Iida-kun, you have to tell her before its too late!”

“I KNOW but I short circuit whenever I want to tell her” said Iida with fast chops.

“She has a crush on an upper-classman, kero”

“Really?”

“yup, you have some competition BUT the good news is that she’ll give you a chance.”

“all you need to do is tell her, kero”

Iida starts to contemplate “OK! I’ll tell her when second term starts! No excuses!”

Geet Fanfic Masterpost

YO So this has been sitting in my drafts for over a year now. I think it is time I posted and moved on. Enjoy! xoxox

Hi guys, so now that I have the time, I decided to make a list of my favorite Geet fanfics. These are just the ones I've read from IndiaForums, I know there are tons and tons of them, these ones I've liked. I've included my thoughts on them as well, just to give you tasters.

Age of Love - Heart-wrenching story of unrequited love and loving too late. Messy relations and just life I suppose...a dramatic, over the top, life.

Baby of Mine - Ok so there’s this one writer (jnawaz) who will show up very often in this list and she has the habit of writing very well, coming up with poignant stories, ripping your soul out and feasting on it with pretty pictures of pretty people doing pretty things.

Bawre Nain - This one is written pretty well, not entirely well. But it’s entertaining and cheesy as hell. Lots of crying and mistakes and d-baggery, the whole lot! Oh and I should put an adult content warning??

Beeti Lamhe - Grab a tissue box because jnawaz is out for your soul.

Best Friends - a cute and sweet story by jnawaz. My favorite line: ‘"Jaab ek dikha diya…dusra bhi dikha de," Biji said as she joined the women.’ You’ll understand why when you read it :))

Blessed - a jnawaz story, need I say more?

Blind love - melodramatic to the max!

Breakpoint - If you...don’t mind....reading....a lot....of....this, it’s a pretty good story.

Condemned - Ok this is a dark, unhappy OS, but seriously, iMadz writes so well, it’s worth it anyways. I’d recommend these kind of fics to people who are seasoned fangirls, who have already read a lot and don’t mind something new. It’s not at all what you expect for Maaneet.

Contented - Another wonderful writer on IF, iMadz knows exactly how to hit you in the feels. She paints wonderful pictures with her words.

Ek Pal - jnawaz does it again, ripping your heart out and tossing it about. Here we have Maan as we all want him and an unimaginably evil--op, I won’t tell you who.

Fantasy - Nice take on married life for our Khuranas. Dramatic as hell, and honestly I wouldn’t be as forgiving as Geet but, eh we just go gaga over those two lovebirds anyways don’t we?

Farewell - Dramatic to the max! A jnawaz story.

Finally Found Ya - What if Maan had a kid, not Geet? Lots of messy backgrounds, messy relations, uff did I mention the dark and crazy backgrounds, and an absolutely lovely story.

For the Love of a Child - Such a good story. Fast pace and lovable. Just a joy!

Hard Truth - Ok this one is weirdly written, has a strange plot, and honestly a Maan you probably won’t like, but I’m putting it here anyways, don’t ask why, I don’t even know.

He Fumbles at Your Spirit - From Dadimaa’s pov. Another wonderful writer, seriously these people are out of this world.

His Wife, Mrs. Khurana - Probably one of the best memory loss tracks. Contains one of my all time favorite jealous Maans. Including the line “Prashant was friendly, down to earth and obviously liked Geet. When Geet smiled at him, her husband felt like standing up and pointing a spotlight at the sindoor in her maang. A moment later, he could do nothing but wonder where on earth that impulse had come from, but he couldn’t suppress it.”

Homecoming - I think this was one of my first jnawaz stories, so I’m a little biased towards this one. Enjoy!

Humesha Saath - Deliciously filmy, a total sham, but sooo worth it, because who wrote it? That’s right, jnawaz.

Jeene Ke Ishaare - If you're into super fast love stories, this is a good one. They fall in love in the time I take to tie my shoes.

Just a Dream or Two Behind You - Super mushy, very Bhansali-esque

Just Ordinary - ....anything but honestly can jnawaz write anything ordinary??

Limitless - This one is an absolute treasure. It’s a friggin fairytale bollywood movie i stg.

Love, Lies and Deceit - Although I went in with low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Only Mine - This one is a fun ride!

O Re Piya - Ufff, right in the filmy!

Out of Darkness - My first fanfic! And it was an amazing choice! If you are into thrillers with dark twists then go for it! Unfortunately, it's unfinished. I was so upset when I realized it was unfinished I moped for days, it was that good, I was hooked. Well written and addicting!

Pyaar Ka Naam Na Lena - This one just gets mentioned because I think the story had oodles of potential even if the execution wasn’t on point. It’s also incomplete, so read at your own risk if you tend to get very attached easily.

Quantum of Solace - Lots of tears, it's almost annoying. But boy is it a well written story.

Remembrance - jnawaz takles the memory question.

Renewed Ties - Aaaahahaha! Itna mazaa! Well written, cheesy Maaneet story with a spy-twist.

Recycled Destiny - Taking memory loss to a whole new level. Well written and filmy. Another amazing writer!

Surrogate Relations - A super cute take on the pregnancy. Well written, poignant and lovely. Oh yeah and there's a nice twist a midst some time swaps so watch out! I think it's unfinished, but it ends off in a happy spot, so it's ok.

Tere Liye - Feels yaar. Filmy feels.

Tere Naal Pyaar Hogaya - Super cute, short and sweet. I believe it’s complete, but the writer wrote the ending a year later so it doesn’t offer great closure. But it ends on a happy note, so no harm done! Not the greatest writing, however.

Teri Bindiya Re - Aye Hayye! Kinna sona story hai ji!

The Mystery of Mrs. MSK - Cute, long, dramatic. May not be the best writing ever, but an entertaining story nonetheless.

Till Human Voices Wake Us - Oh. My. God. This one is not for anyone who is still in the rosy era of Maaneet. It is for seasoned Maaneet lovers who can just appreciate a damn good story. Wowowowow. I cannot tell you how this one messes with your head yaar. Another one of my favorite writers.

Truly, Madly, Deeply - Ok but just know it’s jnawaz, you know what to expect.

Tum Kaun Ho? - Another wonderful writer! This girl does everything from painting pictures to tying up a wonderful thrilling story very neatly. Such a good story!
