🐉🌸♀️ With him being the kind of husband whose neverending favorite story to brag about to every new person he meets is how much of a miraculous fate it was that he was born much much later than he should have, just in time to attend NRC the same time as you did. You who stumbled upon a world that isn't yours, stayed at an abandoned dorm he in particular happened to frequent, and went outside for fresh air at the exact same moment he was passing by. He wouldn't get tired of how amazed he was that he found his princess in a school full of men, of all places. If that isn't fate, then what is?

And that's just the prequel to a long, long talk of him just reminiscing your time together at NRC with astonishing detail. He goes through it every holiday. Every Halloween. Every New Year's. Every birthday. Basically every opportunity he gets. It comes to a point where your children finish his sentences for him. It comes to a point where novels and plays and movies get made with your love story as the blueprint.

Your story gets so dramaticized and embellished that it barely resembles your memories anymore. And honestly? You prefer it that way. Nobody else but you and him will know what exactly happened between you two, and it will remain a precious memory-- a sort of secret, that the two of you will look back on fondly for the rest of your days.

Does En have some kind of anxiety disorder? How do you think?

I don't think so. I think he's just faint at heart. I already talked about why he's a product of his time, quick to always run when faced with danger. Rather than anxiety, it's just survival instincts with En

The post in question

He doesn't panic until his life itself is threatened. He let Midoriya run around and do his thing, and whenever he appears as a vestige to advise Midoriya, he's not anxious or anything. He's just telling Midoriya his own limits, which is pretty in-line with how En views himself: he always talks about his limitations as a weak Quirk.

It was just facing AFO and the threat of being stolen we see him lose his cool. AFO probably sparks some bad memories and trauma in En, considering he just turned to run and got sawed in half by the guy that killed his Banjo-senpai (who some vestiges openly admit has a great, really useful Quirk).

If AFO could get Banjo, he could definitely get En, who's weaker than Banjo in. Everything really. Mind, Quirk capability, physical strength, etc.

To reiterate something in the first paragraph: it's not anxiety, it's survival. En's behavior is more like a prey animal than a predator. Even Banjo, when pressed against a wall (they can be stolen), panics.

But other than that, the two are pretty composed and view their Abilities as tools in their arsenal. Banjo views his as good for capture and mobility (both moving around and wrapping himself up), and En uses it to obscure vision and thinks about the cover's use.

Notably, Shinomori didn't panic when he saw AFO's looming hand. The only ones to freak out that AFO could reach them were Banjo and En, two city boys from when society was still ruined and trying to collect itself. The only two active wielders AFO managed to get his hand on to steal OFA. The others aren't as panicked.

the marionette, ground floor; 22nd january, afternoon / @anchoragestarters

Playing the role of concerned citizen, invested city council member, was one thing but performing that role to any satsifying degree was quite another. Hirokazu Amuro had not complained when he'd been taken aisde by the cops to give his take on what he'd seen but he'd remained utterly tightlipped about any detail not immediately crucial to the case. His business was entire his own. Of course, this was not a rule that applied both ways; everyone else's business was his as well and this whole thing had more than piqued his curiosity.

He'd been stood by an elevator on the ground floor of the Marionette, lit cigarette in his hand and smoke billowing up toward the high ceiling. There were no rules, of course, to stop him and any passerby who thought to complain would have received the deeply scathing gaze of a man who thought they were -- just as deeply -- stupid for even bothering. Still, with one sharp clap of the hands, a passerby's attention was demanded all the same.

"Dreadful what's happened here, eh? It does make you wonder about the state of security though," said Kaz, coolly, a drag taken from that still lit cigarette. "In a place like this too, to think it could so quickly go the way of that dreadful cinema downtown."

Oc bsssss

Introducing Nettle the Adder and her mum Thistle(?) The Adder! Nettle is my first fankid oc, I've wanted to make one for ages and back in September?? I came up with her and only now finally drawn her bfjfkfkgmgk

Thistle has a sketchy history, mingling with many unsavory characters, eventually she makes a mistake and ends up with baby Nettle. This is it for her and she makes a break to start off better for her kid's sake... that's the idea anyway, old habits and all that, she's got a smuggling chain going to keep her and Nettle supported. Nettle grows ups semi aware of this and her mum's somewhat illegal activities but Thistle always ensures she stays far away from any harm, especially anything to do with her father. Unfortunately, the inevitable happens and Nettle is the perfect leverage to ensure Thistle's smuggling routes can be used for yet another unsavoury cause. Little kiddo gets swiped by the eggman empire but released, unharmed as promised, back to her momma. This is unfortunate, but at least her father still knows nothing of her existence... until some idiot lets that unwittingly slip. Oops.

Clutch (yes her dad is Clutch hffkdklfjg I said fankid didn't I?) Doesn't care in the slightest but Nettle is pretty upset when she finally realises :]

Actually the funniest part of Gaillardet's novel is Queen Charlotte asking Louis XV to tell George III that d’Eon is a woman and him just agreeing to it??? I'm sure nothing could go wrong-oh what’s that? it almost immediately went wrong-how surprising.

What a stupid book.

[onebizarrekai]

actually reminiscing about all the old comics I was making 2016-2020 and wondering why I couldn't have seen them through while also knowing exactly why I wasn't able to see them through. they were so corny and dramatic and even had questionable writing, but honestly, they bring a smile to my face. I kind of miss being an artist who always bit off more than I could chew even though it was mostly poor time management

[leonleonhart]

[fishandships]

It won’t let me send more than one card to the same character so I looked up the other possible responses and

[ ^ Professor]

[^ Reptilian]

Professor Luchino is RUDE regarding doves but…i would like to personally thank Netease for making it canon that Reptilian Luchino likes doves and i will be headcanoning that the reason is because he associates them with his dove, Rosario UwU

Also omg Luchino you ARE cute and if people cant see that then theyre not your people ;3;

[ddaengju]

i'm using all my newly acquired pto and pretty much spreading my wallet super thin for the next two months to make this nyc/hobi concert trip happen. literally with a payment plan and itinerary all mapped out. this will be the literal highlight of my entire year

From what I've read, it's obvious she's trying to beat SZA's number 1 standing.

"The “Kill Bill” singer has broken Aretha Franklin's record on a Billboard chart. According to Vibe, SZA's SOS is now a woman's longest reigning No. 1 album in the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. SOS charted the 58-year-old list for 18 weeks." as of March/2023.

Every time a woman, Billie, Sabrina, etc., releases a hit and takes attention away from Miss Perfect, she'll release a 'new version' of a song with several versions.

It's pathetic, that billionaires are never happy with what they've already achieved.

I just think she’s a loser who hides behind empty, girlboss feminism to avoid any criticism while also hating other women and I wish her v bad days ahead

Tips for writing plot twists

1. Start with a false sense of security

• The best plot twists work because the audience feels confident they know what’s coming.

• How? Lay down a trail of clues that mislead without outright lying. Create a sense of inevitability.

• Example: A detective follows all the evidence to one suspect, only for the real criminal to be someone they completely overlooked.

2. Plant the seeds early

• A plot twist is most satisfying when it feels inevitable in hindsight. Subtly sprinkle clues throughout the narrative.

• How? Use small, seemingly insignificant details that take on new meaning after the reveal.

• Example: A side character is always conveniently absent during key events—later revealed to be orchestrating everything.

3. Subvert expectations without betraying logic

• A twist should surprise readers, but it must feel plausible within the story’s framework.

• How? Flip assumptions in a way that feels earned. Avoid twists that rely on coincidences or break the rules of your world.

• Example: A character who appears harmless and incompetent is revealed as the mastermind, with subtle foreshadowing tying everything together.

4. Exploit emotional investment

• Twists land harder when they involve characters the audience deeply cares about. Use relationships and personal stakes to heighten the impact.

• How? Create twists that change how readers perceive the characters they thought they knew.

• Example: The protagonist’s mentor is revealed to be the antagonist, making the betrayal personal and devastating.

5. Use red herrings strategically

• Mislead readers by planting false clues that draw attention away from the real twist.

• How? Make the red herrings believable but not overly obvious. They should enhance, not distract from, the story.

• Example: A mysterious object everyone believes is cursed turns out to be completely irrelevant, shifting focus from the true danger.

6. Timing is everything

• Reveal the twist at the moment it has the most dramatic or emotional weight. Too early, and it loses impact. Too late, and it feels rushed.

• How? Build tension to a breaking point before the twist shatters expectations.

• Example: A twist that flips the climax—when the hero thinks they’ve won, they realize they’ve fallen into the villain’s trap.

7. Allow for multiple interpretations

• A great twist makes readers rethink the entire story, encouraging them to revisit earlier scenes with new understanding.

• How? Design the twist so that the story works both before and after the reveal.

• Example: A character’s cryptic dialogue is recontextualized after the twist, revealing their hidden motives.

8. Pair the twist with consequences

• A twist shouldn’t just shock—it should change the trajectory of the story. Make it matter.

• How? Show how the twist raises the stakes or deepens the conflict, forcing the characters to adapt.

• Example: After discovering the villain is their ally, the protagonist must choose between loyalty and justice.

9. Keep the reader guessing

• A single twist is good, but layered twists create an unforgettable story. Just don’t overdo it.

• How? Build twists that complement each other rather than competing for attention.

• Example: A twist reveals the villain’s plan, followed by a second twist that the hero anticipated it and set a counter-trap.

10. Test the twist

• Before finalizing your twist, ensure it holds up under scrutiny. Does it fit the story’s logic? Does it enhance the narrative?

• How? Ask yourself if the twist creates a moment of genuine surprise while respecting your audience’s intelligence.

• Example: A shocking but clever reveal that leaves readers satisfied rather than feeling tricked.
