It's official I'm now head canoning that Rise Raph has definitely seen One Punch Man and is a huge fan of the series sorry I don't make the rules-

[endlessburningdarkness]

the most sympathy shen yuan had for abused slave child shen jiu was "speechless" lmao he literally never thinks about him again. doesn't spare a second to consider how he's using a former slave's body without his permission. this is the guy who canonically feels guilty for all sorts of things he can't control, like lbh having to go into the abyss.

so why does he feel guilty for one thing he can't control and not about another? bc he doesn't care about shen jiu or have sympathy for him.

the one thing he never angsts about is the goddamn slave who's life, name, and identity he inadvertently stole. shen yuan angsts about lbh falling into the abyss not because he has sympathy for everyone, but specifically bc he likes and cares about lbh. he is biased towards lbh. he doesn't consider how shen jiu, again a former slave, would feel about having his body be used against his will by shen yuan, bc he doesn't give a goddamn fuck about shen jiu. no, he's not compartmentalizing, bc we would see him try to keep those thoughts away, he just doesn't have them.

shen yuan had sympathy in your head, not in the text.

you have sympathy for shen jiu, but projecting it onto shen yuan doesn't mean shen yuan magically has it. he canonically does not demonstrates sympathy, he demonstrates surprise, shock, and on single moment of "huh, i guess he had a bad childhood," and then he moves the fuck on bc he couldn't care less.

if he cared even the tiniest amount, he would be a lot more goddamn careful with the body he's inadvertently occupying. not blow it up or let it be ripped open by demon cock over and over. shen jiu doesn't consent to any of that either btw, and that is still his body. not shen yuan's. just bc shen yuan is in it doesn't mean he has the right to do whatever he wants.

this such basic body autonomy that i can't believe it needs to be fucking said. no one has a right to another person's body, not even if they got in there by accident. goddamn pro life type argument to say shen yuan should do whatever he likes with a body that is not his own and will never be his own just bc he got trapped in there.

i get you want shen yuan to be this super duper nice perfect mary sue self-insert you can project onto but he just isn't that. his primary motivation is to save himself for fucks sake. he is selfish. his favourite character lbh is canonically a rapist. a fact he has no issue with even when it's said to his face. he's a flawed character. let him be fucking flawed! it's fine for him to enjoy life in the body of someone who did not consent and fine for him not to think twice about it.

let him be flawed.

and it's always this flaw of his, this lack of sympathy for the villain that people get hung up over. all his other flaws are fucking hilarious. but this one has people crying tears of blood. it makes perfect sense for shen yuan not to have sympathy. it makes sense for him to believe all the wrong rumours about shen jiu. bc shen jiu was the villain, and shen yuan wants to believe he was just pure evil, and lbh was pure good. there's certainly a stunning irony in the fact that you display he same failure of reading comprehension for shen yuan is the very one he displays himself lol. shen yuan was wrong about the villain, and thats fine for his character.

when shen yuan has sympathy for someone, he treats them like lbh. lbh crippled countless cultivators, he still nearly fucked over the whole world, he turned the OPM into a stick. shen yuan has no issue with lbhs darkness and violence, but his stans sure seem to shy away from it, and from shen yuan's glaring lack of interest in behaving in a moral manner. neither shen yuan or lbh are good people, and thats fine. that's what makes them interesting in fact, and yet they get sanded down into basic ass stereotypical "good guys who can do no wrong" by people who claim to love them.

tied red strings of fate

ft. gojo satoru x gn!reader

request: omg .. tadhana by udd + satoru please ? 

content warnings: fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, jjk manga spoilers [ch 236], canon divergent, implied that reader knows about curses but is not a sorcerer, lowkey a character analysis but yeah, happy ending

wc: 1283

note: when i saw this request i was so happy because tadhana* is literally one of my fave opm classics! also, im sorry nonnie if this was long overdue, figured i'd give him some fluff at his death "anniversary" heh (albeit a little late). i miss our glorious king sm :(( happy holidays 🎀

song: tadhana-up dharma down

*tadhana=destiny

gojo satoru is a force to be reckoned with. his name rings a bell and brings shivers to the spine of any potential enemies he has. 

he's gojo satoru, the strongest of all, the holy grail of jujutsu sorcery. he's gojo satoru, whose power literally repels and divides everyone else and him.

but to you, he's a lover, a man of his own, an independent being who is capable of emotions. he's satoru. the love of your life.

so when he decided to call it quits, to say you were devastated is an understatement. you were left broken, calling out his name at night hoping he would appear in front of you just one, for closure. him closing the chapter of your book got you weeping and yearning for more of him. 

because even though he's your lover, even you have a hard time of catching a glimpse of who he really is. satoru is an open book, but he's hard to understand. you did all your best to ease him and make him open up, show more of himself to you, bare his truth, the good, the bad, and the ugly, all of them you're willing to accept.

alas, the universe has other plans, the challenge ended even before it began, he is most definitely an enigma, someone that you will probably never get to solve. satoru's backed turned against you was a sight you are never going to forget. you spent months moving on and try to live a life where he isn't yours. it's hard but you try to manage anyway.

so when a knock on your door was heard by the 31st of december, you didn't expect gojo satoru in his full glory standing before you. as shocked as you are, you see his eyes had sunken. he's beyond exhausted but when he sees you, his eyes lighten up and you feel the warmth of his arms and your feet off the floor. you miss this, you miss him, it was all so familiar and something you very much miss. every fiber of your being remembered the way he touched you, triggered by the way his hands gripped onto your waist for dear life. as confused as you are, you reciprocated his gesture, opting to rest your hand on his shoulder blades.

"satoru?" you managed to voice our before you feel him put you down but his embrace remain. he then rests his head on the crook of your neck, then you hear him sniffle. suddenly you feel something drop onto your skin. his tears slowly roll from his face to your neck and shoulders.

satoru's lips wobbles as he tries to contain himself but to know avail, he lets his cries out, deciding to bare himself to you and be vulnerable. he was so so so tired of fighting. as great as the title 'the strongest' sounds, it gets too lonely even for him. being on the top is lonely. and he knows it himself.

he'd rather fall from grace than live a life where he isn't yours. he was too late to realize it. he was so stupid, too cocky, too condescending that it took him facing death before realizing that he wants to live, just for you. so when he finally defeats the evils of the jujutsu world, his first thought is you. the only one who provided light in his dark and desolate world.

as charming and bright satoru is, he is often left in the shadows in the cave but when he came to know you, he was absolutely in love and smitten. you were like a fresh breath of air to him. but when he decides that creeping into your mundane and simple life would rather be selfish of him. someone cursed like him shouldn't be able to be with someone who is blessed and down to earth like you. 

but being selfish be damned, he had faced battles, including one that almost left him biting the dust. he wants you, he needs you in his life and letting you go was definitely a mistake, something that he will never do ever again.

when his cries had calmed down, you finally get his voice again after a long time. "i'm so sorry," satoru started. "i was an idiot, i love you so much and i never stopped loving you. i was so stupid to let you go, i have never loved someone as much as i did with you." satoru knows his worth is probably lesser than any other being the moment he let you go, the only pillar who provided stability and balance in his life. he was impulsive, too proud, and too strong. but the way you held him every time you caged him into your arms is like he was fragile, someone to be protected, someone to cherish.

satoru loved that. and he was stupid to think that was worth letting go.

knowing you has made him scared of death, an entity or event that could break the two of you apart and live in separate worlds, and he couldn't bare to face it. he loves you too much to let himself go and so he fought with you in mind and thank any deity that exists, he finally won.

gojo satoru is the strongest.

so seeing him crumble right before your very eyes as his knees meet the concrete is a shock. he had bowed before you first before he had bowed to any higher up. hell, satoru bowing before anyone else would come as a shock. he held onto your ankle for support, his voice begging to take him back as he spews even more apologies that he can manage.

"please, please, i'm so sorry darling, i'll do what it takes for you to take me back. i love you so much, no other human had made me feel this way, please i'm so sorry. i miss you so much, god, i can't even remember a life before you, please." satoru had begged, begged, and begged, his voice getting louder and louder and each increased volume of his voice his hurt is more evident.

with the way his voice cracked broke your heart, and that's when you knew he meant every single letter, every syllable, every drop of tear, and every breath of his apology. 

you had completely broken the strongest. but satoru doesn't mind. even if you break him a thousand times, he'd painstakingly pick up every single piece of himself to present it to you. and that's what he's doing right now.

"i forgive you 'toru," he barely hears you say through his wails and it slowly comes to a halt. he then lost the feel of your ankles as he sees you kneel yourself to his level. your hands reached to touch his face and there you see his eyes, glassed with tears, love, and regret. satoru feels the heat of your hands on his cheeks and his instincts leaned into it. "i was hurt, but i'm never mad, i just wished you'd tell me why," his heart broke when he heard your voice crack.

"but you're hear now, right? we can fix this, we can fix us." you say as you carefully wipe the tears on his face. satoru nodded as he holds your wrists and caress his thumb on it. "yeah, we'll fix us."

"together?"

"together," satoru said in confidence. 

and with a light heart, satoru leans in to catch your lips on his, sealing his silent promise to never hurt you ever again, or he will never get to forgive himself.

he's gojo satoru.

he'll always find a way back into your arms.

another note: i'm quite unsure with the ending but this is all that i got 😔 i hope this was on par with your expectations nonnie hehe 🫶🏻

Does anyone have any "hear me out" SV pairings? Mine is Sha Hualing × Little Palace Mistress.

Okay so this works for both SV and PIDW versions of the character, but I first got it into my head while working on my post Bingge v Bingmei PIDW fic from the wives perspective.

The Little Palace Mistress and Sha Hualing both come from nobility, their homes run by a powerful man. The Old Palace Master is obviously a piece of shit, and in a lot of fanon Sha Hualings dad isn't so great himself. But they both clearly grew up in very different situations.

For my fanon, the LPM grew up very sheltered and spoiled, with very little real connections to others her age. In canon, LPM has no mother in the picture, the OPM is never mentioned to have a former wife or wives, but he IS known to prey on female disciples. The OPM is old as balls. The LPM is around Gongyi Xiao's age.

Huh. Weird.

Also, the little palace mistress' birth lines up weirdly well with the OPM's obsession with Su Xiyan, and for obvious reasons she can't be SXY's child, so what actually is going on here, OPM??? Did he have a bizarre, fucked up rebound about a disciple who wasn't interested in him at all? What is going ON here??

Anyways.

LPM grows up sheltered, spoiled, and expected to marry who her father tells her, first Gongyi Xiao, then Luo Binghe, because you CANNOT tell me the OPM did not push her towards LBH once he appeared. And in PIDW? She does. She marries Luo Binghe, the most powerful man in the world, and joins his harem. His very, very big harem, filled with hundreds of other women, whom she has no idea how to interact with, and she has been told her entire life her worth is based around men's favor, and her husband hardly pays attention to her unless she raises hell.

Recipe for disaster #1.

Now, Sha Hualing. For my fanon, she grew up with a LOT of siblings, all vying for her father's throne, and in order to win against them she had to become the absolute best. She became the demon saintess younger than anyone else ever had, at only sixteen, and while her invasion failed, it was still impressive that she managed to break into and cause damage to the strongest sect humanity had to offer. But her father still didn't seem to care.

Jianhong-Jun still seemed to favor her older brothers, which frustrated Sha Hualing to no end. Couldn't he tell she was the best? She had killed two of her brothers and a sister already! She had become a demon saintess! She had invaded the core of Cang Qiong, Qiong Ding itself! But apparently, all her hard work could get her was the role of a powerful and useful bride!

Fine, her father wanted her to get married that much? She would marry a heavenly demon, and help him destroy her father! She would rule the harem with an iron fist, lead his armies, be the best first wife he had ever-

Who the hell was Ning Yingying? What is Liu Mingyan doing here? THREE HUNDRED WIVES????

Recipe for disaster #2.

So, with this we have established two self-centered disaster women with complexes about being the best wives and daddy issues and a penchant for solving their problems by creating bigger problems for everyone else. So why, do you ask, do I think they should kiss?

It would be really funny.

Plus, I headcanon SHL as a bit of a Playgirl, who has messed around with at least half the harem, and the LPM as surprisingly inexperienced, considering how sheltered she's been, though with her experiences with LBH and SHL she has gotten into some... More interesting stuff.

(airplane didn't give her a whip for no reason)

Anyways I think they would be absolutely horrible together. LPM would be waaaay too attached, to both LBH and SHL, while both of them actually don't have that much investment in her. RIP LPM. This could also lead to an insane breakdown and screaming fit from the LPM at some point.

My fic is endgame mingling, rip LPM, but if we wanted to take this a more wholesome route, it would be interesting to see the dynamic of them both going "oh no I fell for this absolute bitch HOW" and both of them coming to terms with loving someone not for political gain, but just for themselves.

But really I'm here to see who breaks up with who, and who does the Xianxia equivalent of keying the other ones car.

How I write metas? A meta about metas

If this deconstruction post is going to be useful for any aspiring meta writer on this OPM fandom that I currently follow, then be my guest. :D

Warning: Semi-long post.

Step 1: Inspiration

Nope, really can't get into my head all the time to write stuff as much as I would love to but when I do, it's because I get a good inspiration from something. It does not really matter at this point if it's short or long, just the subject matters. Then if I get inspired, I will usually stew on that idea for a while and think about the points in the manga that fit.

Unfortunately inspiration does not strike all the time so there's always that. I'm going with the route that "you can't force inspiration to come to you, you want the inspiration to become you" or something like that. Take that with grain of salt, I just made it up on the spot.

Step 2: Practice

I've personally been writing fanfics since I was...a teen I believe and meta is just a subsection of writing school essays, except it's actually fun. So writing something has been quite a lot of work put behind it, but nobody says one cannot start from scratch today and the meta doesn't need to be immediately impressive, we're just writing it for fun yanno? For other fandom peeps who maybe wanna hear our thoughts. Just gotta start from somewhere yanno? My earlier metas are prolly a fair bit different than my current metas.

Like they say, practice makes perfect.

Step 3: The creative process

Ok so to the nitty gritty of the meta making... PLOT NO JUTSU!

I oftentimes either discuss the meta on discord channels with likeminded peeps and then start gathering some images from the manga to use as my images to enhance my point and make my texts also visually interesting to look at and make some clarifying points. I tend to find some good relative image to use as my first image because it'll show up in archive search like so:

It'll be easier to search for my metas even without searching for my tags from my archives if they look similar.

Next, I keep a folder for all my meta images in a neat pile and I use paint ms to cut me nice images to post into my meta and I also have cubari , the one site which hosts all the chapters so far, open where I can just grab images whenever. Basically any kind of image tool you got from paint to gimp to photoshop can help you crop images you want to use if you want to use images in your meta.

My brain can sometimes be pretty hard to follow apparently, so I do try to parse a lot when I write my texts and keep it somewhat coherent. Parsing information via the canon timeline can help form a coherent timeline to follow in a meta.

In general, you want your writing progress to be seamless and disturbance free creative process, not unlike drawing. Sometimes ambient music on the background can help focus on the actual meta writing process (currently listening to Ardenweald from WoW), which can take me from 1 hour to all the way to 5 hours in a single sitting, which is quite long but remember, tumblr drafts saves your progress even if you save it nowhere else and it's entirely possible to finish the thinking process another day when you have more time.

Sometimes I include links to either my own metas or some outside source, which I then briefly quote on my text, like in the Saitama mental health meta where I citate depression effects on memory recollection. The quote sources can also be stated at the very end like in a real essay, but to me personally I'm fine without the citations at the end, long as I state my sources and then put quotes into indented text.

Step 4: The writing itself

Paraphrasing helps make your text look coherent and easier to read to just about anybody, so avoid pure walls of texts. I usually write longer texts, but that is up to the writer to decide how short, long or how abridged they can/wanna make their work, which frankly is not one of my best skillsets lmao. Just gotta make sure to put that warning in the front if it's long post.

Nowdays, I also include chapter names and numbers about the relevant information I'm writing meta about in between () marks and itallics to further separate it from plain text, which might be helpful to people if they search for that specific plot point from the manga itself. Then if it's a particularly long meta, a tl;dr at the bottom if I can form a proper tldr.

Sometimes I also get struck by random thought and I just have to write it out haha. Sometimes I ask for aid and opinions on discord channels.

Any long metas should definitely have that "readmore" cutoff in the beginning, else entirety of tumblr or wherever you'll post the meta will hate you.

Step 5: Revision & Tagging

You can hold on from posting the meta the very same day and just keep it revised for a bit longer if you want to correct spelling mistakes or if you think you can maybe adds some more to it. Revision is just as important in writing meta as in writing something like fanfiction and I personally do a fair bit of both.

When tagging, I just use "opm meta" for all my opm related metas and then tag in fandom and characters that apply to the current meta and then some other related subjects like "mental health, character study" etc. I prolly haven't tagged my earlier metas that properly but eh... if you write on another platform and then copypaste it to tumblr, make sure that the plain text shows properly and doesn't create any weirdness.

Closing thoughts...that's about it folks, that's how I write meta and how I wrote this piece as well. Which took me roughtly 1hr 45mins to write down at my current writing speed but I've been thinking about this since yesterday haha.

Tl;dr: Inspiration, practice, creative process by saving images and thoughts as they go, writing and paraphrasing, revision and tagging properly.

Girlboss!SXY ask anon here, with alternative take: SXY plays the spoiled head disciple/grandaughter role here and working overtime to gatekeep SY!OPM’s many suitors both within and outside of Huan Hua.

Also, how much earlier than pre-canon did SY transmigrate into OPM in this AU? Like it would be the funniest thing if SY accidentally wifebeamed each successive generation of Peak Lords. Why, having a crush on SY!OPM is practically a rite of passage on Cang Qiong. A moste secret sectione of the Qing Jing library is dedicated to ‘exotic’ flora/fauna precisely because it was the most strategic time to encounter SY!OPM chasing after his beloved beasties. Too bad they all hit against the wall of SY obliviousness 🤭.

Random cultivator: How old are you? Shen Yuan, kind of drunk: 2014 Cultivators: Gasp 2,014 years old?? Shen Yuan: No, 2014 the year! Cultivation World: 2014 BC? Damn that's Very Old.

It would be funnier if Qing generation of peak lords get the wrong assumption that every generation of peak lords develop a crush - this is what they tell themselves to feel better about somehow having the hots for an old wrinkly man. They somehow piece together the (wrong) information that the Old Palace Master is 2014 years old, their shizun's generation had crushes on the Old Palace Master, Shen Yuan's Very Oblivious Words that Keep Getting Misconstrued and come to the conclusion that every Cang Qiong generation had a Thing for OPM.

//opm webcomic spoilers

tbh I could still see Saitama kicking Genos out of the apartment in the manga since he’s still pretty out of touch with his own emotions. Seeing how he doesn’t remember the events at the end of the Garou arc, I doubt he’s cognitively aware of how much he cares about Genos. Saitama tends to be somewhat ignorant to how important all his relationships are to him after all.

HOWEVER. I could see it changed to a separation arc type thing. Saitama is confronted with “oh. having him around was kinda nice.” and he blames it on some half hearted bullshit excuse like missing the chores being done or something when really he wants the companionship back. So it would still follow the path of the webcomic, but it adds more development to their relationship + is a bit more in line with manga canon.

Saitama would get to face his own loneliness head on after being acquainted with friendship and develop a bit himself as well.

Shy and Superhero Anime

One topic I talked about on this blog a few years ago is how as someone who was an American Comic Book Nerd for ages before Anime took over my brain, the Anime that to me have a similar appeal to my favorite DC Universe stories are the not the ones explicitly drawing on American Superhero aesthetics like My Hero Academia and One Punch Man but rather shows like Code Geass, the Raildex franchise, Detective Conan/Case Closed, and I’d now add Durarara! which I watched this year, twice now.

However starting with the Fall of last year a new Superhero Anime has entered the fray, Shy who’s second season is currently airing.

While HeroAca and OPM put the aesthetic trapping of American Comic Book Superheroes onto a show that is essentially a conventional Battle Shonen, with Shy it is the Magical Girl Warrior subgenre putting on Western Superhero clothing.  That actually works far better because the Magical Genre has its origins in part in western Superhero influences. 

Naoko Takeuchi has admitted to being partly inspired by Wonder Woman in creating Sailor Moon, something the recently re-adapted final arc makes more obvious with the Bracelets plot point.  But there’s also the additional indirect influence from how the Transforming Tokusatsu Superhero genre was inspired by Shazam and the 60s Batman show and so forth.

So Shy kind of winds up feeling the Genre returning to its roots in some ways.

90s Magical Girl Warriors like the Sailor Scouts and Wedding Peach wear costumes that fit in with how we typically think of American Superhero Costumes from the Golden, Silver and Bronze ages in that it would not feel inaccurate to describe them as some form of “tights”.

Today however your default parody of a standard Magical Girl is more likely to be wearing a frilly or fluffy dress of some kind and that is a largely the influence of Pretty Cure which in Japan has long surpassed Sailor Moon as the most popular Magical Girl franchise, (but it's Anthology nature means no single team has had as many canonical adventures as the Senshi).

And so Shy wearing a Western Superhero style costume coincidentally looks more like a 90s Magical Girl then any new Magical Girl franchise we’ve seen in 20 years.

But Shy is not completely removed from the history of the Magical Girl, it definitely shows some influence from the Post Madoka era of the genre, with what the villains are doing reminding me of Daybreak Illusion more than anything else.

The main difference between Shy and other Magical Girl shows, in fact the main reason it’s probably not officially going to be considered one is that there are Male Superheroes.  Of course the Nanoha franchise also had males who had essentially the same abilities.  The British Superhero keeps reminding me of the antagonist of Superman Vs The Elite for some reason.

All of this kind of makes Shy the antithesis of how I’ve been thinking about the 2008 OVA School Days: Magical heart Kokoro-Chan.

As one of the very few American Otaku who loves School Days both unironically and not because I view it as some kind of “deconstruction” I was very curious to see what it’s take on the turn the little sister character into a Magical Girl spin off trend would be.  And what I got kind of confused me.

First it starts off by also having a sort of Sentai parody, which would be cool enough.  But then we get to this classroom scene where everyone starts talking about Superheroes.  And Makoto and Sekai started saying things that sound like J. Jonah Jamenson, in my head I was like “I dedicated one of the most overly long posts on my blog to defending you two and this is how you repay me?”.  Then Setsuna starts talking and I think “finally my Waifu will bring some sense to this” and then she starts spouting a “Superheros cause Villains” monologue.

Basically this Magical Girl Parody decided to have the metatextual commentary of a Western Superhero Comic.  In Magical Girls shows and Super Sentai the villains come first and the heroes are a reaction to them, the exact opposite of what Setsuna just said.

Do you have any head cannons for Boros' backstory? Like how his childhood was on his home planet or how he got so much power?

WELL

Yes, I have a few. Thanks sm for asking

He was born in a lab. His people have very strong regenerative abilities, so some decided to conduct experiments on living subjects, both their own and others. Their goal was to make the ultimate powerful creature. They more or less succeeded, but not with their own species. An octopus like creature with telekinetic powers. That creature, named Geryuganshoop, grew too strong and broke out of the lab, destroying and killing everyone in the process. With him, there was another test subject, strong, but not as strong, but willing to help his friend along to escape. That was Boros. The two stole a ship and escaped from the planet. They were faced with many hardships and enemies, but Geryu was always there to protect them. Boros grew tired of relying on his friend to survive, and decided to become stronger. He trained and trained, learning from powerful masters across the galaxy. He sparred with Geryu constantly. Eventually he became stronger. Stronger than Geryu, than anyone in the Universe. In the process he and Geryu met others to travel with together, and they formed a group. Not abiding by the law, always traveling through space, stealing what they could from others, challenging whatever strong warriors they met. The group became bigger and bigger as Boros grew stronger, and they were now a feared pirate group known to most of the people of the Universe. Geryu was still his friend, his right hand man, as he ruled his pirate ship and laid waste on planet after planet. But as decades passed with no battles that would sate Boros’ lust, he became more and more depressed, distant. His relationship with his best friend was strained, now barely interacting outside of business. Then he hears of the prophecy, and sets course to Earth.

He was the strongest of his species, from the very start. The females of his species were generally much stronger, but he was an exception. In his youth, he was hot headed and cruel, seeking destruction and battles, challenging and killing everyone in his way. He was exiled before he was even an adult. He was sent off world on a small spaceship to die. He was in wild space, lost and on the verge of death, when he was found by a random explorer. They took him into civilization, and there, Boros learned to coexist with others. But he still craved for the excitement of a good fight, so he left with a few friends to travel the Universe to find warriors he could challenge. He became a pirate, the group becoming a huge organization spread across the Universe under his leadership.

He was the strongest of his species, from the very start. He united and ruled his planet, becoming a fierce leader. He grew bored eventually, and left to find other adventures. He meets the three warriors, he bests them all in battle. They follow him, and they recruit more strong beings, and form a pirate organization. Boros returns to his home planet from time to time, but is mostly traveling across the Galaxy to find a good fight.

These are the few I have for now, but I have to mention a certain backstory made by not me, but my friend, @lara60

Boros escapes from his oppressive home planet, and meets a band of pirates that take him in. He grows stronger and stronger, facing the challenges he and his friends face in their adventures across the Universe. This is an ongoing story on AO3, it updates every two weeks. It is my FAVORITE fic, period. The storyline is insane. It is so entertaining, engaging, and thrilling. There’s a whole ensemble of OCs that you’ll fall in love with as the story goes on. It is just too great. As of now, Boros is still not as strong as he is in canon, but he’s getting there, slowly but surely. And watching this young and naive Boros turn into the ruthless pirate lord we know from OPM is just an amazing experience.

Here’s the piece I drew for the one year anniversary of the fic

This story is my fav backstory for Boros. I can’t think of anything else other than this fic that I’d consider his canon origin story. It’s called Dark Matter and I’m currently VIBRATING IN MY SEAT waiting for chapter 32 to drop this Saturday. It just gets better and better with each chapter. If you ever get interested, check it out!

Thank you so much for sending this ask, it is as always a delight to talk about my favorite alien boi💜

Bringing this back cuz I can and I wanna be super annoying this evening lol

I'm gonna do something cursed.

Y'all are probably gonna hate me and I'm sorry in advance.

So I'm reading Mob Psycho 100 and what do my eyes see? None other than Terrible Tornado. Now that got me thinking that in the universe of MP100, physics exist and by that extension there was a time and place where Terrible Tornado was actually a living person. Which means that their maybe a chance that the OPM universe and the MP100 universe are connected to one another. With this thought process I began to think about Mob and how he scarily looks like Saitama and then the cursed thought hit me-

What if Mob was a descent of Saitama? Now you're probably wondering how this would work......well......

In OPM there's this female superhero known as Hellish Blizzard. She's the younger sister to Terrible Tornado......she's also has physic abilities just like her. The only down side is that she's not as strong as her sister. If Saitama and her got together and had children.......

Then it could very well work. Not to mention that Mob is incredibly strong, like stupidly strong just like Saitama only with physic powers. He could have inherited it from his ancestors like Saitama and Terrible Tornado. And to make this work even more Mob's younger brother Ritsu isn't as strong as Mob in his abilities. Now who else had this same problem?

Hellish Blizzard.

Bam, Mob and Ritsu are descendants of Saitama, Terrible Tornado and Hellish Blizzard.

Enjoy this cursed head canon.

Buddy Daddies OPM AU: Rei became a hero because it was the closest he could get to being a video game in real life. He doesn't know it, but his father is one of the Hero Association's shady donors, and though his father doesn't approve of what he's doing it is useful to pretend Rei is his man on the inside. Not to mention have a clear example for the HA higher-ups of just how strong the people working for him are, and why it would be a bad idea to ever cross him.

Kazuki became a hero after his wife died because it seemed like as good a way as any to kill himself, but luckily he met Rei early on and couldn't stop himself from meddling in his life and trying to get him to eat vegetables. He doesn't have Rei's superhuman strength, but he's smart and a good strategist and superficially charismatic in a way that makes him popular with fans (and thus donors).

Rei is Class A and Kazuki is Class B. Rei's track record versus monsters is so good that he could be in Class S, but the people who keep track know that he's only as consistent as he is because he's nearly always working with Kazuki. And Kazuki isn't strong enough to handle a Class A emergency by himself, so they don't feel right promoting him.

When they meet Miri, they initially think her parents died in a monster attack. She says she was supposed to meet her papa but he never showed up, and Kazuki's guilt complex kicks in and he says he's her papa. Eventually they find out that her parents are both alive and well, (her father realized who she was as soon as she said her last name, but he lied and said he wasn't connected to her, leaving her at the evacuation shelter) but neither of them want her. By that time Rei has also bonded with her, so they just keep their little family together.

Miri is very impressed with having two hero papas, though her ideas for making them cooler are... impractical. She's also gotten it in her head that being a hero means having a secret identity, so she never tells her friends at daycare about it, even though the daycare staff know and even have a few Hero Association numbers they can call if Kazuki and Rei don't answer their phones.

OPM Buddy Daddies AU: Saitama and Genos are exactly the same as in canon except Miri Is There.
