#this was supposed to be a short funny haha comic

Stan playing horsey adventure with his twins 💖

We were going nuts over Cowboy Stan the other day and were making prompts about riding him XD The first draft that I made for this was actually funny cuz it was supposed to be a self insert of riding him on his back and go “ride like the wind, bullseye!” with one hand raised in the air lmao I made their expression so silly I suddenly thought about “oh man, this would look so cute with his twins, like Stan playing horsey adventures with his cowgirl princesses”. When I sketched the twins on his back I just had to junk my first draft cuz THEY LOOK SO FREAKIN CUTE!!!! 💖💖💖 oh my heart 💖💖💖 I aged up the twins a bit here, I guess them being around like 3-4 years old? I’m kinda using my godkid as my reference haha.

I honestly don’t understand the anatomy of this pose XD but I guess it turned out pretty okay? (I was having a bit of hard time drawing the pose) I kinda wish I drew the living room background cuz I bet it’ll look so cute with all the toys scattered around the room XD Now, I know Stan posing like this looks delicious, but let’s stay in fluff for a minute here XD

It actually also made me wonder if what would Stan want his kids to call him? Not really a headcanon, but I kinda like the idea of his kids calling him “Pa” like how he and Ford used to call their dad. (No Stan, you are nothing similar to Filbrick and you will never become like him. You’re gonna be the best fucking dad to your kids). I was having second thoughts cuz I remember in one of Ford’s dialogue telling Stan how he looks like their dad, yea the same man who disowned him and left him wander on the streets, yea him. I don’t want to hurt my pookie, but I just wonder if Stan might have some passing thoughts or worries like becoming like his dad or something in a way (sorry I’m honestly not good in explaining stuffs XD but you get the point XD)

ALSO kinda crazy cuz I’ve been thinking about how everyone has their own GF AU and I kinda wish I had one too, then when I was drawing Stan’s kids I realized like “dudeeee you have your own AU!!!!” like woah shit hell yeaaaa I do have my own XD I feel so pumped I could actually create a character design for his twins, some cute short comics and stuffs wow that would actually be fun haha 💖

2024 comics post

broooooooooooo. what the fuck HAPPENED.

the actual cause of all this: i read some really funny fic by ao3 user deadchannelradio, then i got emma to watch some old teen titans with me, then we watched the under the red hood movie, then i read some more fanfiction, almost entirely bad, then i caved and checked what the public library had available to borrow comics-wise. which turned out to be a lot. and then i bought the DCU subscription. and now here we are. this is going to be in approximately chrono order, and there will be no bolded recommendations. read only what big 2 comics you can justify to god.

tom taylor's nightwing, vols. 1-5 (issues 78-105 i think) plus fear state. my first foray back into big 2 comics since my mcu-era marvel situation in high school and college. haha, these are kinda cute, i thought. simplistic, but the art is gorgeous, i said. i would be happy to buy these as floppies at my local store, i theorized. like some kind of idiot. like some kind of naive child.

batman/superman: world's finest, #1-ongoing. waid and mora just too fucking good. i love nonsense, and to put nonsense in my mouth. would actually consider buying the first volume as a tpb it's so fun except for the massive, classically racist, unforced L of making another culture's normal nuanced folk hero (ne'zha) into a demon from hell for just like, no reason. hello? also love mark waid just doing whatever the fuck he wants with the kingdom come continuity. it's his house. no one can stop him. still reading this one as new issues go up on DCU.

world's finest: teen titans, #1-6. loved this also. i also haven't read any og teen titans (emma read all of pre-crisis NTT while i was reading nightwing, so the early children remain firmly in her realm of expertise) but she also agreed that it was cute. waid is just fun. like what are we supposed to do.

shazam 2023, #1-6. see above re: waid and his powers. big shout out to dan mora, as ever, but BIIIIIG shout out to colorist alejandro sanchez, who i truly think made this arc. girl those WATERCOLOR EFFECTS!!

robin 2021, #1-17. read this and super sons at about the same time, officially dipping my toe into the damian waters. solid, loved the issue of all the other robins chasing after him, him and dick love each other for REAL. i also like his little goth girlfriend, and his manga habit. felt like a kinda ham-fisted attempt to give damian his own story without being willing to set him up with his own status quo, a la bludhaven, but what can you do.

super sons, #1-16. children's comics for sure, but with a surprising amount of blood in them? wasn't quite certain of the marketing angle on that, but i LOVED jon and damian they are BABIES. i also like every time clark is like, my son, please, never listen to damian. his father is a lunatic. for sure never listen to his father either. that was cute. shame this was cut so short lmao.

tim drake: robin, #1-6. offensively, offensively bad. i didn't even really know tim yet but this was like. please christ in heaven gay people have to be worthier of better comics than this.

batgirl 2000, #1-37. i know this is widely-loved, but it actually didn't get me until like #12 or so? if that? i love cass, but the art was rough for me, and it couldn't carry me for the early non-verbal comics. her shit with shiva was great tho. cass you are fully insane my girl

under the red hood and lost days. ICONIC!! JASON TODD MY RATIONAL KING!!!

robins: being robin. did not like this. trite. also did not like dick's manbun: a real issue.

batman: year one. oughhhhh what if the classics are good actually. and unfortunately. mazzucchelli and lewis are so fucking good, like lewis in particular..... what even is left to be said. the art alone is Just That Good. also bruce wayne and jim gordon are kissing with tongue for real

robin: year one. mmmmmm good. dick grayson your problems. also i still love harvey dent. possibly my favorite batman villain. symptom of having watched a lot of batman begins/read my one random copy of the long halloween an extensive number of times as a teen

batgirl: year one. had some great moments, but did not like it nearly as much as robin y1. i do think this is due to the sexism. i like when babs punched infant dick in the solar plexus tho!

batman: urban legends - specifically the cheer arc with jason. i really liked this but i'm not sure i'll feel the same in a year or so. i think this was a pretty deft way to get jason to drop lethal violence without betraying his own justified belief in the power of lethal violence (rational king), and thus bring him back into the family fold, but of course bringing him back into the fold is itself a fraught project, and his character as a whole is so uncertain (as i understand) since the new 52 so like. i think it did what it was trying to do quite well (and i loved how insane bruce appeared! compared to jason!) but should it have been trying to do all that? an open question!

devin grayson's gotham knights, #1-24. WELL AS IT WOULD HAPPEN THESE ARE MAYBE THE BEST BATCOMICS I READ ALL YEAR. listen i am so aware of devin grayson's many sins. but these are the original "what does it mean for bruce to have all these fucking teenagers" comics, and, so far in my reading, they remain the undisputed best. everyone's just been rehashing her since, and it hasn't been nearly as good. she's got the touch (profound fandom-aligned insanities)

batman: murderer/fugitive. put an order in for the recently-released 1100 page $125 omnibus just this afternoon. It's Good.

robin vol 1: reborn (tim drake). idk the exact issues on this, collects tim's first few post-tlpod batman issues, plus his first miniseries. tim drake by god do i care you.

lmao okay the post editor is starting to lag like a motherfucker. posting this then putting the next half in a reblog

[cskv11]

Any doodles of bill or unrelated drawings you wanna share? I like your blog a ton, I'd eat your art like a four course meal, man!

Hi!!!! I'm not gonna lie, this made me cry a little hahaha, it makes me very happy to see that people enjoy the little thingies I create, I appreciate your kind words, really!!

As for doodles and other stuff apart from what I post, I'm not very active right now, since I'm more focused on the requests I get (it helps me a lot to get out of my comfort zone) so what you see on my blog is pretty much what there is.

If we're talking about blog related stuff, I've got some scrapped material, like for example:

That one request I got of Dipper watching with Stan "The Duchess Approves" was originally supposed to be a comic, but I considered it excessive:

(There is no dialogue because I changed plans before I had started to write them, haha)

This one I couldn't find the inspiration to finish:

And this one is from a short comic I didn't have time to finish:

The funny thing about it is that I got a request of a drawing about literally the same topic, but with Bill in it instead of Mabel. (If you can guess the context of this panel, I'll have no choice but to finish the original version).

This is a very rough initial sketch of a little thing I thought would come out as funny but have never polished it:

I have also explored some older Dipper and Mabel desings (these are super rough, they make me cringe when I see 'em), for a super secret project that I don't know if it'll ever come to light:

And that's all the Gravity Falls related stuff that I've got! For now, of course...

And to finish, these are two of my favorite non-fandom related drawings that I've made:

I hope these tidbits of my work are good enough to serve you a good meal!

Thank you again for your words, you made my day!!

[wednesday-if-it-was-tuesday]

I love comic book murder logic. Like, it’s not killing someone if you don’t watch them die.

Like the goon /might/ have hemophilia and internally hemorrhage and bleed out from the jab to the gut. But if we don’t watch or intend for him to die it doesn’t count. Someone will probably call 911 while we walk deeper into *insert supervillian*s lair.

I know people love heroes’ no kill rule because it makes them heroes, but like combat against relatively untrained individuals is gonna cause damage. It’s like an adult beating up small children. Also, even if the attack on cripples and not kills them, they still won’t be able to go back to work (even the legal kind) and improper treatment can cause lifelong pain and damage. And it’s not even self-defense because a protective suit and years of specialized training is already a major upper hand.

This was supposed to be a haha short funny post, but I ended up rambling. Anyway, maybe I’m like being a cynic. I’m not saying what they do is as bad as murder, but like bffr. They’re like def hurting and contributing to the death of a TON of people.

Ask game: question 6, 7 and 17

Who is going to be the first one to propose: Sebek or Yushka? 👀

Hi hello! Thanks for dropping by!💚💚

6.Who is your Favorite Faculty Member? (Yes Sam is included)

Hmmmmm….I love them all!! And I wanna say Crowley :)

But..........Vargas 🙈

I am still waiting for his card :D I bet it'll be super funny

Also he hunts students for sport lol, what's funnier.

And his self-confidence despite his height?? Short king, the ever.

translations are from twst wiki

Do you think Sebek could eat more?

damn

Biting force detected

Why does it sound like something Sebek would say

Ok this is the only reason to hate him actually. I can change him

calm down omg

So for fun's sake let it be Vargas lol

7. Which class would be your best subject? (Alchemy, Magic History, Flying/PE, Animal Languages, Practical Magic, or Magic Analysis)

I.....want to say Alchemy :) Because it's fun. But if I actually had magic, I'd exel in Summoning. Idia explains how it works in his Birthday Broom vignette. And it would 100% be my style haha.

Like you summon some creatures and they do all the work for you and you can just chill? Yup, that's me

17. Who is going to be the first one to propose: Sebek or Yushka? 👀

Sebek, of course. Yushka doesn't yet know the traditions or laws of Briar Valley well enough for it to be appropriate for her to make such a move.

And also, it's already implicitly understood that Sebek will take that step sooner or later. They're not even dating - Sebek is courting the Prefect (the serious style), which logically leads to only one conclusion. It's not casual at all - since the day she accepted his courting, the outcome was essentially decided, and it's just a matter of time🧍‍♀️⏰️

I made a comic - not about the proposal, but about promise rings, I suppose? (Just wanted to draw my rings). If this is anything :)

[kalpalatas]

take me to the sea?

(ask me about my wips!)

this one's bronseele (star rail version), although the title is a reference to bronseele (honkai 3rd version). don't worry about it.

star rail bronseele have. the funniest/bittersweet/heartbreaking final character stories of all time. (i'm exaggerating on account of being the only person alive who still OTPs them in the playerbase but it's objectively true, trust me-)

anyway this is bronya's, set just before her coronation:

"Over-thinking things again?" The woman looking like a butterfly asks, with a teasing smile on her face. She replies with an exasperation grin. "Same as always, you know — I'm nervous beforehand, but can play to my audience once on stage." "Hey, don't screw this up. Those old fossils want to play politics, and they're just waiting for an opportunity for you to slip up." "Haha... Then I'll have to ask you to keep an eye on them for me." "Hey, looks like time is up." The dull sound of gears gnashing and turning echoes in the hall. She cast one last look back at the person beside her — who retreats into the shadows with a nod and a trusting smile. The door creaks open and a beam of warm light shot into the hall, lighting up her face. What follows are deafening applause and cheers. "Let's go, Bronya."

and this is seele's, set during said coronation:

The majestic cry of horns resounds throughout the skies, and the bustling crowd falls silent immediately. A man in a comical outfit rushes to the podium, and shouts in a piercing voice — "Ladies and gentlemen! For the ribbon-cutting part of this ceremony, please welcome to the stage — the Supreme Guardian herself, Madam Bronya Rand!" Deafening cheers erupt from the plaza. Seele quietly pulls the pickpocket out of the crowd during the ruckus, and escorts him to the Silvermane Guards on duty. She turns to look back at the distant stage, and briefly locks eyes with the woman in the white dress. The Supreme Guardian flashes her an ever-so-brief smile, and Seele nods slightly in response. And then, they go their separate ways — one stepping into the light, the other into the shadows. — One day, they will finally meet again.

the clown shit funny part of this is...they're never really separated, because in belobog events in-game, seele seems to be a sort of liason between bronya and wildfire, the previously insurgent organisation she is a leading figure in. sometimes bronya and the capital city too. "one day, they will finally meet again" is hilarious in retrospect. seele's vote is counted into political decisions for belebog's future??

anyway. enough backstory. if i go into the weird museum guide interview i won't ever shut up.

the wip is . actually it's just an outline so no snippets yet. watch this space. the long and short of it is - seele thinks she's swept up in a torrid situationship with the supreme guardian of the land; bronya is on step 5 of her 12 part plan to instate seele to the inaugural position of grand consort of belobog. seele is neck-deep in historical records that keep hammering home the point that the architects select the guardians to be married to her land and her duty while bronya's blackmailing persuading the architects and the ipc to let her define the duties and responsibilities of the trophy wife first spouse of the city-state. i want to sort of. explore the reversal of the characterisation that we see of them, i suppose. seele is the hot-headed jock who thwacks first thinks later, bronya is the calculating strategist who's averse to taking huge risks. but when it comes to each other, they seem to be the opposite - bronya sees seele in her future, despite the political differences of their stations and the weight of her guardianship of belobog; seele plays it hilariously safe, tiptoeing around situations that involve bronya's job and position, canonically abstaining from economic and political decisions bronya herself seeks out her opinion on. the ipc interlude with topaz actually drove it home for me that seele is anxious and skittish about talking about difficult topics that involve overworld politics even where they intersect with the underworld and wildfire, meanwhile bronya is one bad day from cooking numby for dinner.

anyway this won't be a very long fic if i ever find the energy and guts to write it. i can finish it in one sitting if i just. focus. lol. wish me luck.

(anyway the sea comes in because while in hi3 the sea is called azure and compared to seele's eyes, jarilo-iv is frozen over and sea is grey. like bronya's eyes. 👉🏽👉🏽. it's a working title. it will change.)

DCRC Week #12

This week we're taking a slight detour from the main chapters of PKNA to read the very first PKNA Special Issue: Missing! (Which came out in 1997 alongside the release of Silicon). This chapter is basically the equivalent of an anime OVA where we get to see the various characters just kinda hangin out and doin stuff outside the main plot, which I think is fun!!

Oh boy haha can't wait to see which of the colorful cast of characters we'll be focusing on fi-

OH NO

No cause like she fuckin got his ass here. I think if PKNA took place in 2024 then Angus Fangus would have a verified account on twitter and every time he posts about PK there would be people in his replies like "oh rent must be due" just roasting the shit out of him. And they would be right too.

Bro AI generated a photo of PK stealing ice cream from a child 😭

Woah dude that's crazy. Could you imagine like, an evil toy manufacturer? Like some sort of toy-based villain. Maybe one that hates video games and dresses like a clo-

DID HE JUST KILL HIMSE

oh nvm there was a balcony. dammit

THEY WHITEWASHED ZIGGY?!??!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO

See I TOLD you it was the anime OVA, they're at the beach and everything! Just look at that FANSERVICE!

I'm talking about Camera 9 in his little beach outfit btw. What did you think I meant? Lyla? What does this have to do with Lyla

So PK is missing and her first instinct is to go and check the jail 💀 I mean I can't say that he WOULDN'T get arrested by the time police I just think it's really funny

Screaming wait I love overly-confident Lyla

he's died

So Camera 9 won't talk to her and she PULLS A FUCKING GUN ON HIM. Cop moment.

...wait wasn't Camera 9 wearing shorts earlier? Where did his shorts go???

UNOOOOOOO HI UNO

"biological associate" is a really fancy way of saying your boyfrie

No cause like I'm obsessed with the resolution to this story. Dude kept his grudge for 250 years, get fucking owned Raider.

Bro shows up for two whole panels just so he can manspread and make a cheeky time reference. I'm exploding him with my mind.

AAAAAH EW OLD MAN JUMPSCARE shoutout to the picture of HDL though

WOW how lucky for Xadhoom to have found an entire thriving colony of her people!!! So happy for her :)

Also PK is there too for some reason

SHE'S SO HAPPY IT'S MAKING ME DEPRESSED

Yeahhhh they really didn't think this one through did they

WAIT THE NEPHEWS ARE HERE?? WHEN DID THEY GET BACK FROM AFRICA

WH- YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS COMIC YET??

You gotta love them dedicating a story to two random Evronian goons and then having it end with both of them just being murdered by Xadhoom. Like they never EXPLICITLY say that Xadhoom is killing the Evronians when she fights them but we all know that's what she's doing right.

Gotta love Donald vanishing off the face of the Earth so he could fuck off to Tibet with Everett Ducklair 💀 Levitating would be a useful skill to have if he didn't like immediately forget how to do it after this oops

Anyways that's all for today. I really like the PKNA special issues they're all really fun and silly and nothing bad happens in them ever!! So look forward to reading the next one in uuuh idk like 10 more issues or something?

[kay-then-i-guess]

An updated Connor design sheet (the original is below). And woo. Connor was tough to figure out at the start. I knew before I started on the comic that whoever got the role of Eret would be the narrator. Then, by luck of the roll, Connor got Eret. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike Connor's character: I genuinely thought he was very solid comedic relief. He came in when needed, fulfilled his role, and was funny. However, Connor is, to put it simply, not a dramatic character. Even when he dies, it's a moment of comedy. When he comes back as a ghost, he proceeds to satirize Ghostbur, get an on-camera ending (which is more than some other characters can say), and leave. King behavior, honestly.

BUT That doesn't leave much room for the dramatic, serious narrator I was picturing. However, in the end, I grit my teeth and bared it, and sure enough, I think he turned out to be a good narrator. And I don't think I would have thought of having other characters come in to help narrate if the role of Eret had been given to a more dramatic character.

Anyways, when it came to him from a design standpoint, you can see that almost every design feature in the original design matches up with the updated (just drawn better haha). When it came to putting him in the comic, the note regarding his height is so true. I struggled putting him into panels. It's hard to put someone who's supposed to be, I don't know, 5'8", 5'9" in panels with someone who's canonically three feet tall. And all the other original L'manbergians are short. I do think that this helped me realize how much I needed to improve on how I drew scenes. As much as I loved drawing scenes straight on, 1: that's boring, and 2: it makes it near impossible to include characters of varying heights in one panel. If you look back at the first arc of the comic, you can see the exact points I struggled fitting Connor into the scene. He's usually just barely brushing the top of the panel, and all the other characters barely have their chins above the bottom of it. (You can also see a panel where I colored his pants gray instead of the normal blue, but I digress)

Oh, and the eyes on his onesie are googly eyes

[thechairanon]

Wrote this as a fun little "Haha what if" scenario, but it ended a lot more existential-y than I thought it would.

What if I chose the Spoon emoji instead of the Chair emoji?

Spoons smiled at her reflection.

“Hello, pretty!” She said to herself. “You’re dazzling.”

Spoons spun around, taking in herself.

Her skin was slightly gray and shone like a ceramic doll. Her wavy silver hair gathered at her shoulders. She wore a dusty light purple renaissance festival style dress with a dark purple corset. Her belt clinked every time she moved due to the amount of spoons tied to it. Her black flats had beads sewn into the sides.

Spoons leaned into the mirror to take a closer look at her facial features.

Her eyes were a bright, startling green with flakes of gold and purple. Her mouth was full of sharp teeth that glinted in the unnatural light of the Void.

“Hello!” Chair greeted. They stood at the side of the mirror so she wouldn’t catch a glimpse of their own reflection. “Welcome to the Void. What’s your name?”

“I’m you,” the new anon answered, “but you can just call me Spoons.”

“I… I’m sorry? What? Y-” Chair tried to process what the other anon said. “You’re me? No you’re not, I’m me. I think.”

Spoons laughed. “No, no. I’m what could’ve been you if our Creator had rolled with what she was familiar with: Spoons! That’s their IRL nickname, did you know?”

“N- no… Why did-”

“Why did she choose a chair emoji over a spoon emoji?” Spoons interrupted. “She thought it was funny. She saw a chair emoji in her ‘recently used emojis’ tab or whatever it’s called, and now here you are!” Spoons smiled. “A happy accident.”

“So why are you here?” Chair asked.

Spoons shrugged. “It’s April Fool’s day, so I think she just made me to explain why you’re here. My design was created within, like, fifteen minutes. Kind of like yours! Our Creator made your first reference post barely a day after the anons were first created.”

“Are you here for revenge, then?” Asked Chair. She got ready to run. “Because I’m here and you aren’t?”

Spoons laughed. “I don’t have time to seek revenge! Our Creator made me a more laid-back character, kind of like the Spoons before me. I’m going to stop existing by tomorrow and you’ll forget about me by then too, so I’d rather spend my short existence having fun than plotting vengeance.”

“Oh. That’s kind of sad. Doesn’t that make you angry?”

“Angry? For not being able to live for very long?” She thought for a moment. “Nah, I’m not angry. You’re really cool! I’m just a little sad that I won’t really be able to interact with the other anons as me instead of as you.”

“I’m sorry about that, but… does that mean I’m not real either?” Chair asked. “Like how Death Hetch was saying he’s not real?”

“Of course we’re not real,” Spoons giggled, “you silly. We were never real. But we’re loved. And I think that’s really all that matters, don’t you?”

Chair looked away. She supposed that was the case, but… “Where will we go when we’re done?”

“Oh, who knows! You’ll stay in the Void because that’s what’s expected of you and your character. After that, your image and name will probably be used as a minor character in whatever future projects our Creator decides to work on. I’m a reimagined version of another Spoons, and I think I look great.”

Chair sat down on their chair. “What was your original version like?”

“She was a fighter. Which makes sense because she was made specifically for a LARP day at a summer camp our Creator was at. Then that waterfalled into another character, then another, and then me! But you?” Spoons leaned forward so she was eye-to-eye with Chair. “You’re original. Even if you were made for a roleplay for a comic our Creator enjoys, you’re creativity and originality at her greatest.”

A crack grew on Spoons’ skin and through her left eye. Chair gasped. “Woah. What is that?”

The shiny anon reached up to her face to feel the crack that grew. “I don’t know. It could be one of two things: my form is unstable because it’s unfinished, or something just happened in our Creator’s life and it's being reflected on me. I’m betting on the former. Either way, I’m off to explore the Void before I die. Happy April First!”

Chair watched helplessly as Spoons happily skipped away. “Bye…”

They Were Roommates

A Realm Reborn - lvl 5

A look into Wolfram's life in Limsa Lominsa after meeting Y'Shtola but before his adventure truly begins.

My Comics in Chronological Order

This is the script for a future comic. Posting for those who don’t want to wait to get the story. Numbers indicate frame number.

Wolf, putting his cocobo in the stable outside the mist apartments.

Wolf, entering the lobby, chatting with the attendant.

A) Wolf, exhausted “Good evening, Loetfryn. Hope your day was better than mine.” B) Loetfryn grinning “I'm sure it was, adventurer. You look like shite. What kicked yer arse today, Wolfram?”

A) Wolf smirks “Pirates, what else?” B) Loetfryn taunts “Well, you'll be glad to know yer keeper is back.”

A) Wolf rolls his eyes “Haha that joke never gets old - or becomes accurate. Wrong clan for starters.” B) Wolf smiles “He has returned though?”

A) Loetfryn nods “Aye, ‘bout two bells ago. Lookin’ almost as bad as you do.” B) Wolf smirks, responding smugly “Well your ma says I'm a handsome lad and that's all that matters to me.”

A) Loetfryn chuckles “She only says that so you'll cook for her, Loezwilf!”. B) Wolf chuckles “I'm not short you blind fool!”

Wolf gestures to himself, smugly “I'll remind you this is an exceptional height for a hyur.” Loetfryn chuckles “Ah, that reminds me. Ma knitted yeh another sweater. Reckon she fancied those kebabs the other night.”

Wolf walking towards the hall entrance, camera at his back, waving goodbye “Funny you should mention that! Come by after your shift - I’m making an extra pot of stew for you to bring her. Should clear up that cough. Suppose you can have some as well!”

X’Rhun Tia laying on couch in the apartment reading a book. Zoomed out shot.

The mi'qote sits up as Wolf greets him off frame - “Rhun!” B) Rhun smiles “Ah, I wondered where you were. Off on a job, I trust?”

Wolf rushing over to couch. Rhun surprised.

A) Wolf picks up Rhun and hugs him, beaming. B) Rhun laughs “I wasn't gone that long!”

Zoomed out shot of apartment, Wolf spinning Rhun. W - “Longer than usual!” R - “Alright, that's enough, giant. You may put me down now.”

Wolf and Rhun sitting on the couch. Wolf curious “So - did you find us a new apprentice? Surely someone in that godsdamned forest wanted to do magic without worrying about those flighty Elementals.” Rhun shrugs “Not a one, I'm afraid.”

A) Wolf frowns “Damn, it's been a while. What… six moons since Bright Song went on her way?” B) Rhun thinks “Aye, just about. I do miss her.”

A) Wolf winks “I bet you do. She still answers your calls between adventures. That's something.” B) Rhun scoffs, light blush “Oh stop that. She was merely a student. Anyroad, I'm beginning to think I should try Thanalan again.”

A) Rhun curious “Did you wrap up that job? …You could join me there. You were willing to risk it 8 years ago.” B) Wolf sighs sadly, looking away “Rhun, you know I can't. That was a moment of foolishness. Luckily I met you before I made it to Ul'dah.”

Wolf ponders “Besides, I'm not certain this job is over. There's something not adding up. I mean - it's definitely pirates, but I think there's more to it.” Dark Thought “Of course there is. And you're too dumb to see it.” Rhun curious “Oh? What do you mean? Is there something I can do to help?”

A) Wolf smiles “Nah, your work is more important. Can't have our people's history die out. Thank you though.” B) Wolf ponders “So - During the job I met a strange mi’qote woman. I believe she has information I want…”

A) Rhun grins teasingly “Oh? Was she pretty?” B) Wolf chuckles. “Oh stop with that. I suppose - objectively yes, but you know I don't think of people the same way you do. Anyroad - “

A) Wolf explains - “I was more interested in her power level. I could practically *feel* the aether radiating around her.” B) Wolf curious “She was easily as strong as you or I. More even. And she spoke so cryptically… Most importantly - I couldn't read her emotions. She must have very advanced mental wards.”

A) Rhun smirks, raised eyebrow “Ah - so a mystery woman to keep you from joining me in the land the famous Flame General commands?” B) Wolf, annoyed “I said drop it Rhun.” Dark Thought - ‘He's right. You're a coward. It's been 13 years. Your gladiator won't even remember you.’

Wolf stands up, heading towards the kitchen. Camera facing him, straight face “I'm making stew. Have you eaten yet?” Dark Thought ‘20 years later and you're still just that scared boy who begged for my help. Can't even risk yourself to aid your oldest friend.’

A) Rhun frowns in concern “I'm sorry. I didn't realize my jests would bother you so.” B) Wolf sighs “No, I'm just tired, Rhun. It's been a long day. Confusing…”

Wolf at counter, putting a pot on the stove. Rhun half way there. R - “Well, I'm sorry nonetheless. Perhaps one day you'll move on but I shouldn't try to force you. I'll travel to Ul'dah alone.” W - “Thanks Rhun… but also -”

A) Wolf smiles earnestly “If you get into any trouble you would call my linkshell, right? You know Asuna would get me to you before the enemy took a single slash of your rapier.” B) Rhun smiles “Of course I would. Thank you, Wolf.”

Wolf taking a vegetable out of the basket, speaking smugly “Anyroad, if anyone is worth risking an Ul'dah prison for it's my best friend.” Rhun laughs “Well let us hope it does not come to that.”

Zoomed out shot. Wolf chopping vegetables. Rhun leaning against the counter talking. “And then to top it all off one of those blasted yarzon tried to make a meal of me. I don't know how you tolerated living there.” Wolf chuckles “The conjury lessons were worth all the mud.” Rhun continues “At least your apartment was comfortable - once I had thoroughly dusted.”

Two pots of stew boiling, Wolf stirring one. Rhun setting the table. Loetfryn at the door waving. “Alright, where's me grub?” Wolf looking at door as he stirs “There's the scallywag!” Rhun looking at door “Welcome, Loetfryn! Will your darling mother be joining us?”

My Comics in Chronological Order

[boredgrace23]

Hello! I saw your "Into the Fortressverse" comics, of which I thought were all very cute and its cool seeing all the characters (especially the Scouts) cross over, (Pootis has so many moms now, good lord!) Anyway, just wanted to say have a fantastic day, and that I'll be checking out your "Kith and Kin" fic soon! have a great day!

Ahh, thank you! I just made those short comics because I thought it was funny how Scout's are always suffering in the fandom, you know? (So many moms for Pootis!) but I'm glad my fic intrigued you enough that you want to read it! Fair warning, though, I've been told it's extremely angsty and thrilling. Which I suppose is a good thing for the themes I've presented, haha. Happy reading, thank you for the compliment!

MIYA POSTING

IT WOULDN’T LET ME TYPE ENOUGH TO REALLY SAY ANYTHING I WANTED TO IN THE FUCKIN. COMMENTS?? so i am just gonna make a post and tag mr. @yymiya​ who asked. So. INFO ON MY OCS!! specifically Miya because she is my baby and i’ve been drawing her for a year now

so these two are Miya (left) and river (right). Their pronouns are she/purr and they/he respectively. i made Miya last year in english because i was bored and remembered a conversation i had with a friend (who wears hijab)(i do not) which was basically just how would a catgirl wear a hijab? they would obviously just wrap their ears because it seems like kind of a hassle to cut out ear holes in every scarf you own and most hijabis cover their ears anyway, but if they had a tail would they wrap it? if catgirls were common enough would there be specially made clothes for them so they could cover their tail in a sleeve or something? we decided that its up to the person (like most things) but it’s probably not that common.. Anyway Miya doesn’t even have a tail in the main universe HAHA but it was an important question to answer i felt

i made River much later, in about april of this year? i thought Miya needed a skater boy friend (not boyfriend, as she is a lesbian🫶) so i made them also during class. to be honest i don’t have much of a story for either of them but they were really fun to draw messing around on my papers, i’m sure my teachers were sick of them lmao

if i were to make them into a comic of some sorts, i’d probably make their stories short and funny, while exploring themes of youth and growing up and finding your place in society as a minority/someone seen as ‘weird’. as an autistic queer poc, i didn’t really get much representation growing up, and i think seeing someone who acts and looks like me, who leads a life similarly to me, could have saved me from a lot of self-hatred when I was younger and didn’t know why I was different. a huge reason i still make art to this day is to help people who feel and look like me feel a bit better in their identities, because i know the representation i have seen, even if its few and far between, has touched me in ways i can’t even begin to explain. it means so much more than you’d think. 

Anyway. the fantasy au kinda just came about one day when i was in a mood and felt like making fantasy character designs and stuff. i don’t have much of a storyline for this one either but i have a very vague idea on what it’s gonna be about, and i’m gonna develop the story as it is gonna be a big part of my Inquiry Question for Ap art this year👍👍👍

SO. these are their original fantasy au designs. i was actually pretty happy with miya’s first design, but for overall silhouette and posing issues i had to change her skirt, but i thought it looked stupid so i thought i should just rework her clothes altogether. 

i’m gonna keep showing people this sheet because i am ridiculously proud of it. anyway. Even when i first started drawing Miya, way before i even thought of the fantasy Au, I had some specific design choices mind. I always wanted her to have catlike eyes, so i tried to imitate the shape of them while keeping them pretty human looking. the silhouette of her hijab is kinda exaggerated and not very realistic just so i could properly communicate the fact that she is supposed to be a cat. 

in her original design, she’s supposed to be much closer to a human, with the only distinguishable traits to set her apart being her ears, her eyes, and maybe her hands. i wanted to put most of the “cat-coding” in things like the hoodie she wears, which has a tail, or the fact she paints paws onto her converse, or gives her self a dan-and-phil-style nose and whiskers (AHAHAKAHDHFKBS NOT A WORD). i also wanted her to be younger, about 15-16 in the modern universe, but that’s a difference I only made relatively recently, which you can see in the two pictures above.

with the fantasy AU, i wanted her to be honestly closer to an anthro than human. I didn’t want her to BE a furry, necessarily (no hate to furries, i am the number one furry enthusiast), but i wanted her to have much more animal-like traits. She’s very inspired by Tabaxies but i didn’t want the fantasy au to be in the 5e universe because i have several problems with racist stereotypes in DND.. anyway, miya is almost completely covered in a light layer of fur, has paw pads on her feet, almost has a muzzle, has a cat shaped nose, ears, a tail, and retractable claws. the only things keeping her from being a furry, at least in my mind, is that she has human hair and isn’t digigrade, and has much more human-like proportions, like the ratio of ear to head, head to body, torso to leg and so on. 

i’ve put a lot of work and love into her design! while i can’t say everything has a concrete reason, almost every detail on her is intentional, one way or another. like, how she doesn’t have paw pads on her hands but does on her feet because she’s bipedal, and cats have paw pads to muffle the sound of their footsteps when stalking, for prey or otherwise. she also doesn’t need shoes because of her paw pads, but if it gets a little cold she might wrap something around her feet. shoes are very uncomfortable for her. (can you tell i’ve been dying to tell someone about that in particular i think its so clever) 

other little details are, i made her headpiece mostly to bring more gold up by her face. it helps balance out the colors i think. the green in her eyes is inspired by my cat! and i don’t think cats can have brown eyes, but it was mostly bc i didn’t want to just give her green eyes (bc brown ppl with light eyes kinda freak me out cough cougb my sister cougb cough). the circles with smaller dots around them on her sampin songket are suppose to vaugely look like paws. i was gonna actually make them paws but that felt a bit on the nose. 

i think thats all i have to say for now… i will talk more abt river when i finish their character page. there’s nothing really wrong with their current design, other than the fact that it’s kinda really boring, so i’m working on adding more character and interest! here’s the sketches i did in my sketchbook, i’m currently working on tracing n coloring them digitally 

here they are!! also i said earlier that in the modern au miya is supposed to be younger but i never said how old she’s supposed to be in the fantasy au and i cant find a smooth transition to talk about that so i will say that here. She’s supposed to be like 18-19 in the fantasy au, i just think it would make more sense for what they’re supposed to be doing throughout the story (exploration, fighting, potential mortal danger, i think its a bit much for high schoolers is all). river is slightly younger but still around the same age as miya, so same thing for him too. they look really young in the sketches above bc my art style was doing something funky that day lmao

that is all!! finally!! for now at least. (if u saw me post this way earlier than i meant to No You Didn’t.) 

[eldrxtch]

Alright I’ll give it a shot! What is Lokee’s backstory? I see him all the time but I have no context.

Somewhat related since I recently got an account: You should join Toyhouse if you haven’t already! It is very handy for OCs :0

Oh!! I have a Toyhouse! I just haven't updated it in years haha!

As for Lokee's backstory, he's my d&d character that I've used in about two campaigns now and a couple of d&d servers!

To make a long story short, he's a tiefling (demonic blooded)! They usually show up randomly in the family lines of those that have messed with demons sometime in their history, but Lokee in particular was the result of a human and a demon directly!

Now to be more Specific... here's a little ramble:

His mother, who he only knows as Ms. Anne, was a governess that worked for a wealthy noble family. She had an affair with the father of the house, her boss, which is how she had Lokee. It was only revealed that the guy had been possessed by a demon the entire time when Lokee was born and oops that's a tiefling.

He had a pretty rough childhood due to the circumstances of their respective ostracization and isolation from the community, and how his mother handled that in really unhealthy ways (blaming him, mostly). Under those conditions he kind of could only see himself as a broken monster that can only hurt those around him. It stopped him from forming many meaningful relationships for long, and the skills he did develop were all around deception and manipulation.

Eventually, when he was old enough to leave, he did, and struck it out on his own, becoming a traveling musician as a front for his real job as an information dealer. There's a lot of stuff with him that goes further than that like how he had the prospects of a family, abandoned that to return to his mother's side when she was dying, and then how he kind of fell apart after that but I don't want to just ramble too much about the details haha

Eventually though, his alcoholism got the better of him and during a late night trip to a tavern he got into an altercation and was murdered in a broken barrel of wine.

How he was resurrected is different depending on the specific campaign setting. In some cases he was resurrected by a necromancer he had stolen from before and needed to repay a debt, in some cases he was part of a society built around undead labor and was brought back mistakenly fully conscious. The most recent iteration actually had him be resurrected by a mischievous god who thought it would be funny to make a scam he was doing real, because he was pretending to be clairvoyant to make some quick money off of people's desperation and pain, and when he was murdered for it he was brought back as an Oracle with an undead curse haha

BUT YEAH, essentially he's just a guy who fucked around and found out and is actively trying to avoid the consequences of that and is learning to be a better person against his will haha

The core of his character is he's this deeply sad, miserable person that can't see his own kindness. He's really silly and funny and a sort of comic relief character most of the time, but he's supposed to have these moments that reveal otherwise unseen depth.

Danger First

Chapter 7

@pocketramblr

.

"Hey, Midoriya?" asked Uraraka, after Aizawa passed out a costume revision assignment and feigned passing out.

"Yes?" said Midoriya, knowing that his eyes were preturnaturally wide and fine tremors were running through his body. He was a wreck.

"Are you okay? Why did you come to class with Mr. Aizawa?"

"And what's that you're holding onto?" asked Kaminari.

"Um," said Izuku. "I was sort of... abducted by the support department? But in a nice way... And they gave me this grappling hook."

"Wow, cool! I didn't know we could get stuff like that from the support department."

"You should really read the student handbook, Kaminari," said Iida, pushing up his glasses.

"But it's so long!"

Iida tsked and adjusted his glasses more vigorously. "You're a student! You should at least be familiar with what is expected of you! Speaking of which, Midoriya, do you know how to use that?"

As much as he could learn from a ten-minute crash-course. "... yes," said Izuku, but it was clear from Iida's face that he had hesitated too long.

"Midoriya! You shouldn't have something like that in the classroom without knowing how to use it!" Iida half stood up, and Izuku clutched the grappling hook closer to his chest.

"No! Mine!" Maybe he was too attached to something he'd only had for a little over an hour, but the support department hadn't been able to give him any smoke bombs or flash grenades due to 'new school regulations regarding explosives' and he'd gone through a lot this morning.

Distress washed over Iida's face, and Izuku wondered if he'd accidentally smacked into some old trauma.

"I wasn't going to take it!" he said, earnestly waving his hands. "I just wanted to make sure you knew where the safety-"

The door to the classroom slammed open. "Is that my little brother I hear?" asked a beaming man in a track suit. Without waiting for an answer, he bounded over to where Iida was sitting and clapped him on the back. "I have come to embarrass you horribly!"

From the expression on Iida's face, this venture was doomed to failure. "I thought you were joking when you said you'd see me today!" exclaimed Iida, beaming.

"Why... why would I joke about that?"

"You joke about a lot of things. Like knowing vigila-"

"Okay! Yes, haha, funny jokester, that's me! Now why don't you introduce me to your classmates?"

"Of course! I have been remiss in my duties as vice president." He stood and executed a ninety-degree bow. "Forgive me! This is my brother, Iida Tensei! Also known as the pro hero Ingenium!"

Izuku could almost see his classmates start to put together the puzzle pieces of Chibiida and extremely tall older brother. He was more concerned about whether or not it would be rude to ask Ingenium for his autograph... and to check his analysis page on Ingenium...

"That's me! And I'll be your special guest TA today! Now, where's Aizawa? You're supposed to have him for homeroom, right?"

As one, the class pointed to the giant yellow caterpillar in the corner of the room.

"Oh my gosh, Shouta, I thought you were joking-"

.

Ingenium was, to put it in a single word, cool. To put it in two words, he was unbelievably cool. So cool Izuku was almost able to forget the impending field-trip-related DOOM they were all facing.

But not quite.

So Izuku slogged through his classes, still thrilled to be there and waning to do his best, but unable to truly focus past the crushing weight of what might happen. His classmates and maybe-friends hovered at the periphery of his suffering, clearly wanting to help, but just as clearly unsure how, or what lines they could or couldn't cross, leading them to resort to painfully awkward normal small talk.

Until they sat down for lunch, that is, by which time Monoma and Iida had gotten into a conversational spiral about how amazing UA was, how awesome Ingenium was, and how UA was truly superior for being able to have pro-heroes like Ingenium come in as TAs on such short notice.

"Midoriya," said Uraraka, startling him out of his fourth or fifth 'Kacchan sweep.'

(It was still possible that his bad feeling was related to Kacchan hunting him down and blowing him up. He'd be mortified about making such a big deal over it if that was the case, but it would be preferable to, say, a terrorist attack.)

(Why did he keep coming back to terrorist attacks?)

"Are you... okay? You've just seemed really down today, and-"

"Invisible hug!" shouted Hagakure before grabbing Izuku and lifting him over her head.

There was a beat of whispering near-silence. Then Uraraka stood up, slamming both hands on the table and inadvertently making it float. "You have got to tell me your work out routine!"

Izuku agreed.

("Strawberry," someone whispered.)

.

"I generally say what's on my mind," said Asui as the Iidas had radically different reactions to the bus seating arrangement.

"Aha," said Izuku. The swaying of the bus plus the strain of probably-Danger-Sense was making him nauseous. "What is it, Asui?'

"Call me Tsuyu."

The first time a person his age let him call them by name since kindergarten, and he couldn't properly appreciate it. Figured.

"I was watching the videos of the battle trials I missed last night," Tsuyu continued, "and I realized, I don't think any of us know what your quirk is."

Izuku's first impulse was to lie or redirect the conversation. Years of quirklessness had left their mark. But on second consideration... was there really a reason to lie? He wasn't going to talk about One for All, obviously, but the rest of it was harmless and bound to come out eventually anyway.

"Well," said Izuku, adjusting the fit of his air filter self-consciously. "That's a good question, actually."

"If you're keeping it a secret, I won't press."

"No, no, that isn't it!" Yes, it was. "It's just that, um, it's really subtle? As in, so subtle I thought I was quirkless until recently. Haha."

"Oh, wow," said Kirishima, "that must have been hard. I mean, I got teased for having a boring quirk, I can't even imagine-"

"Your quirk isn't boring! It's more than enough to be a pro!"

"But what is your quirk?" asked Monoma.

"Um," said Izuku, "well, we're not entirely sure, but... We think it lets me sense things that are dangerous? But I've also got anxiety, so..."

Monoma was frowning, but before he could speak, one of Hagakure's gloves waved frantically in front of his face.

"Is that how you knew I was there?" she asked. "In the battle trial and the entrance exam?"

"Maybe? I think so?"

"You were kind of anxious this morning," said Uraraka, concerned. "Did something bad happen to you?"

"Not- not yet," said Izuku, weakly. "It- We still don't really know how it works, so it could just be the anxiety..." He trailed off. Everyone was kind of staring at him. He pressed back against his seat, wishing there was somewhere to hide.

"Well!" said Uraraka, suddenly pumped up. "We'll just have to keep an eye out! We're hero students, aren't we?"

There was a general cheer of consensus and Izuku managed a shaky smile. So, this was what it was like to have friends.

Eventually, Mr. Aizawa told them to calm down, but there was no heat in the scolding. Maybe, Izuku thought, past the ever-increasing buzzing in his head, today would be okay after all.

.

"Yeah," said Hikage, "there's really no chance of that."

.

The Unforeseen Simulation Joint was an incredible space!

Space Hero Thirteen was about a thousand times cooler in person than on TV!

All Might, in his golden age rescue-specialized costume, looked like he'd just stepped off the pages of a comic book!

But just like Tsuyu's name, Izuku didn't have the ability to appreciate it.

As the other students marveled over the USJ, Izuku watched the adults quietly talk to one another. It seemed to be something serious.

.

"Did you find anything else with the safety checks?" asked Shouta.

"A few of the areas had the difficulty set too high- apparently some of the third-years decided to get some practice in and their supervisor didn't reset everything. Other than that? Nothing." Thirteen shook their head. "No signs of structural failure, no security gaps. Everything seems, well, normal."

"Well," said All Might, "whatever happens, we're prepared!"

Aizawa seriously doubted they were prepared for anything, but the most obvious, most likely things? Yeah.

"What do you think, Ingenium?" he asked.

"Everything looks fine to me," said Tensei, shrugging. "But if it was something obvious, then it wouldn't be so much of a threat, right?"

"We're still not sure how Midoriya's quirk really works," said Shouta. "It could be a threat just to him." He sighed heavily.

Tensei smiled in a way that just about guaranteed Shouta would be teased about this later.

"Well, I'm going to start my speech now!" said Thirteen giving the others a thumbs up. "Wish me luck!"

.

As soon as Thirteen finished their (surprisingly moving) speech, all of Izuku's attention zeroed in on the air next to the fountain. A swirl of dark mist appeared next to it.

Izuku felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Mr. Aizawa-!" But he was already looking in that direction, already watching the man made covered in emerge from the dark hole, followed by a veritable horde of villains.

And Izuku didn't use the term villain idly here. Several of the people he saw were on wanted lists.

Ironically, now that he was faced with real danger, the panicked siren in his head eased off slightly. Evidently, at least some of the strain had been fear of the unknown, and now the threat was very, very known in the worst way, that particular stressor was gone.

"There he is!" cried the man covered in hands. "All Might! The one we've all come for! Nomu! Get him!"

A large villain with an exposed brain who practically sang with danger charged All Might, who grabbed him by the wrist and flung him away, towards the landslide zone. "Ha! That's not much of a challenge! You'll have to do better than that, villains!"

"Maybe," said a villain made of the same mist as the portal that had brought the others. The large villain came charging out of the landslide zone, none the worse for wear. "Maybe not."

"You might be an elite player, but can you fight the boss and protect the noobs you're powerleveling?"

The other villains surged forwards.

This is when Mr. Aizawa and Ingenium jumped into the fray, and everything immediately got more chaotic. Izuku rapidly lost track of the multiple battles occurring around him - except, wow, Mr. Aizawa was really mowing through villains, wasn't he - that Nomu guy had to have a regeneration quirk, there was just no way - he'd have to write down that villain's monolog as soon as they got out, it might have clues - Izuku had no idea that Ingenium could fly and wow that gave him some ideas for Iida-

Speaking of Iida-

"This is no time for analysis! Hurry up and evacuate!"

Right.

"I won't allow that."

Yeah the misty villain definitely had some kind of teleportation quirk, which made this whole thing even more gutsy. Quirks like that were always monitored by the government. These guys must not care about their identities.

"Greetings," he said, a metal colar slipping into place around his neck. "We are the League of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but... today we've come to-"

A gust of air from All Might's fight pushed the mist villain back. But the move had left him partially unguarded, and Izuku watched helplessly as Nomu pounded a fist into his exposed side-

Nomu knew about All Might's injury.

Oh, no.

Izuku didn't have time to process that, however, as Kirishima and Monoma jumped forward, attacking the mist villain.

The feeling of danger spiked, and Izuku barely registered Monoma's bewildered expression.

"Only students... but the best of the best... yes he was right to say you'd be a threat." Darkness spread like an ink stain from the villain's body. Darkness... and portals.

Izuku slammed into Tsuyu and Kaminari, pushing them out of the way of forming portals. He wasn't able to do the same for himself.

"Begone," intoned the mist villain, his voice echoing all around Izuku. "Writhe in torment until you breathe your last."

The next thing Izuku knew, he was in clear light and falling. From at least two stories up, over the flood zone.

And then he stopped.

.

The ghosts whipped their heads around to stare at Nana. She was sitting on a stool, hiding her face in her hands, though whether it was out of embarrassment or fear for Izuku was unclear.

"Nana..." said Yoichi, softly.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry I saw him falling and pani-"

"What did you do that for!" exclaimed Banjo. "He was only fifteen, twenty meters up! Into water!"

"That's twice as high as Olympic divers go! And they screw up their bodies all the time if they hit wrong!" shot back Nana, other emotions abandoned in favor of rage.

"Uh, guys...?" said Yoichi, weakly.

"Who still watches the Olympics?" muttered En.

"If we had to give him a new quirk, it should have been a combat one!"

"You're just jealous that he has Float and not Blackwhip!"

"So what if I am?" demanded Banjo. "If he had Blackwhip, he wouldn't need that stupid grappling hook gun!"

"So, you admit Blackwhip is just a glorified grappling hook?"

"Better than a glorified- glorified-" He puffed out his cheeks. "I'm going to give him Blackwhip right now!"

"NO!" shouted the other ghosts.

"Banjo," said En, "what do you remember about people who All for One gave three quirks to?"

Banjo went pale.

"Oh, hell," said Banjo. "I'm sorry, I got carried away."

"You can say that again," grumbled Nana.

"But," continued Banjo, "doesn't this mean we can't give him the stockpile?"

They turned to Yoichi, who was far and away the expert on the stockpile quirk. He held up his hands and offered a sick, shaky smile. "We've already started the process of giving him stockpile access. There's... there's really no way to stop it."

Nana started swearing, and even Second and Third looked tense.

"But that's borrowing trouble! Maybe he'll be compatable?"

"With three quirks?"

"It's possible!" protested Yoichi. "I mean, he's- um, he's got One for All? Maybe it's more like All for One than we thought?"

"Disgusting."

"No."

"Absolutely not."

"Never say that again."

"But, again, that's a future problem, unlike the villain attack, which is a now problem."

"I see what you're saying," said En, "but we can't do anything about the villain attack, but we could theoretically do something about quirk troubles. Unless you'd rather watch helplessly while our latest-possibly-last holder is murdered?"

Yoichi sighed. "Okay, yeah, let's take a look."

.

Izuku's first thought was that Uraraka must have tagged him, but he had been way too far away from her for her to do that. Unless she had run at him when he dove for Tsuyu? Tsuyu had maybe sort of been between them...

But, no, this didn't feel like Uraraka's quirk. He'd only experienced it a couple of times, but it felt like falling. This felt more like floating on the surface of a pool.

This was, he realized as he drifted helplessly upwards and slightly sideways, Shimura Nana's quirk.

It would be really, really cool if the circumstances were different or if he had any control over the quirk whatsoever. As it was, he didn't appreciate the way he was getting progressively higher. Hitting the water at his previous height would have sucked, but he probably would have survived. Now? Not so much. So, if the quirk decided to stop as suddenly as it had started, he was doomed.

Beyond doomed.

He'd be dead.

Wait! The grappling hook!

He pulled it carefully out of its holster, making sure to wrap the loop around his wrist. He could get back to the ground with the grappling hook, anchor himself at a decent height and make use of this, or even attack, but if he dropped it...

Well. Doom and all that.

His best bet was the top of the downpour zone. It was the closest structure by far. He lined up his sights, fired, and watched as the hook fell several meters short.

That was less than ideal.

He rolled over and looked up. He wasn't that far from the ceiling-

Danger Sense screamed at him, and he was falling, just in time to miss getting hit by a jet of water from below. Izuku, naturally, started screaming as well and fired the grappling hook blindly. He rejoiced as a metallic thunk told him it had hit something and immediately hit the stop button, almost wrenching his shoulders out of their sockets. However, his joy quickly turned to horror as he realized he was now headed toward the hard, unforgiving side of the downpour zone at a dangerously high speed. He squeezed his eyes shut.

Float turned back on.

Izuku let out a somewhat pathetic whine in relief, and hit the retract button on the grappling hook gun, letting it pull him up to the roof.

From here, he had an acceptable view of the rest of the USJ. He shaded his eyes to look back at the main plaza and entrance. He could see Eraserhead and Ingenium fighting back to back in the central plaza. All Might and Nomu were tearing up trees in one of the forested areas, and near the entrance he could see Thirteen, Iida, Uraraka, Shouji, Sato, Sero, and Ashido facing down the mist villain. Hopefully, with those numbers, they'd be able to get past him.

Looking elsewhere, Izuku had to assume Todoroki was in the landslide zone, with the spiky ring of ice in the middle of it. He must be holding back. He could make out a fight happening in the mountain zone, but couldn't tell who was involved.

That was more than half the class unaccounted for, including Tsuyu and Kaminari, who he'd thought he'd pushed away from portals. They were probably in the other zones, but...

He took a deep breath. Focus. Where would he do the most good? Danger Sense couldn't tell him that right now, with all these bright threats all around him. He had to decide on his own.

The fight in the mountain area wasn't going well. The number of visible villains was only increasing.

Could Izuku get there? He bit his lip as he contemplated the distance, then jogged back to the opposite side of the downpour zone roof.

Then he ran.

Then he-

-jumped-

-off the roof.

Float activated at the top of the arc of his jump, and his momentum sent him tumbling forward towards the mountain zone. As he approached and began to slow (air resistance still being a thing, apparently), he was able to see Yaoyorozu and Jiro fighting for their lives. Yaoyorozu did not look good.

This wasn't a great way to be proven right about her quirk having drawbacks.

He aimed the grappling hook at one of the larger, closer villains, not really caring about how much damage it would do, and fired.

.

"Wow," said En. "Kid definitely has a bit of a ruthless streak."

"Imagine how much better he'd do with Blackwhip."

"He wouldn't have been able to get there in the first place without Float."

"Honestly," continued En, "I don't get why Second and Third don't like him. They never shut up about Nana and Eighth being too soft, after all."

"What? They said that stuff about me, too?"

"Yeah, I think they're just unsatsifiable at this point. It's annoying."

"I was much more violent and ruthless than Toshi, though."

"I know."

"Yoichi," said Hikage. "I'm not seeing any sign of additional stress on Ninth's body."

"That's because Izuku is the best."

"Or," said En, "it's because he's only had Nana's quirk for, like, five, ten minutes, tops."

"Or because he's the best. Just look at how he's helped his friends defeat all those villains!"

"Compelling argument," said Hikage.

.

"What- what now?" asked Yaoyorozu, holding herself up with one of her staffs. The mountain zone was littered with various weapons and shrapnel from Yaoyorozu's quirk use. This included a canon. Which was really cool, but seemed a bit over the top... and maybe not the most efficient thing to make, considering Yaoyorozu's limitations.

"I don't know," admitted Izuku. He'd been flung around the field as a makeshift flail/bola by the girls a few times, and was a little dizzy.

He looked back out at the battles still taking place in the plaza. "I think... Maybe we should go down, and make our way around the edge to the entrance. We could pick up Todoroki and see if there's anyone in the ruins zone who needs help-"

Then he saw the hand villain step forward, facing down Eraserhead as Ingenium was lured away in defense of Tsuyu and Kaminari, who had just run out of the wooded area, trailing villains. Danger flared in his mind's eye, and, for the second time in his life, his body moved by itself.

pushing my shameless trans agenda onto liam

Hi i just think he’s transgender have you seen the man

Ok so obviously I’m not intending to say this is canon or ever will be canon i just think it would be Neat and i can fit it within canon since well we really can’t tell and there’s honestly a lot of things that fit with it :) also it’s just my favorite characters get hit with the transgenderification beam bc i say so

The whole argument is basically:

-the Name Situation

-his appearance and mannerisms

-his Past TM 

-the Bond Situation

-and because I said so

But yeah so the main reason this came to mind is because of the whole deal with his name. I made a previous post on this but yeah, the thing about liam’s name is a big deal, and you know, as a trans person I see it and relate it to that.

The main thing is that there was no necessity to change his name. Louis never changed his first name, and there was no need to. And it’s never really gone over why william’s past life is so important to cover up, other than the fact that he did a court case where he threatened to cut a guy’s arm off when he was like eight, but that’s like... you know, that’s reasonable. He’s very very protective of his past identity, where louis kind of isn’t. 

And the fact is, William isn’t an alias, he didn’t have to take that name, he isn’t just doing it out of necessity- he truly does identify with that name, proven in many ways. He enjoys nicknames derived from it. And the thing most indicative of this is Sherlock. In chapter 53, he goes wayyyy out of his comfort zone to actually reveal his past identity and his name. Sherlock knows it, the entire point is to reveal that to him, as a way of giving up the last and most important of his secrets. And yet, even then, William signs his letter ‘William James Moriarty’, though it’s supposed to be his innermost, most vulnerable self.

This pretty much says for sure it’s the name he wants to be called, the name he identifies with, and not whatever his name used to be. It’s important to him, and that’s not a front- have you read that fucking letter? If he was going to admit himself as anything else, it would be there.

Sherlock respects that as well- if there was ever a time when Sherlock would not call him liam, it would be in chapter 55. And yet the most important thing is that he still did call him Liam. He was accepting this dude even though he used to be something else, he didn’t care and he was still willing to save him and love him. Hmmm Sherlock allegory for Trans Ally lmao. 

How the identity and name itself is treated also makes it seem even more a positive represetation of a deadname situation. They never tell us his name. And that’s like... honestly important. They’re going out of their way to say that his old name isn’t important. They’re not keeping it secret for any reason than to show that it doesn’t matter, that no matter what he used to be, William James Moriarty is what he is now.

Anyway, other than the name situation, there are still a lot of other factors that go into my thoughts about it.

A lot of his behaviors are indicative to it, especially when he is a kid there are moments where im just like “haha this is an allegory for transgenderism”. 

Like first and foremost have you seen how this man looks as a kid? That is the most androgynous motherfucker you’ve ever laid eyes on. No one would honestly be able to tell, the way he looks as a kid is in no way disproving this- kind of the opposite, in fact.

are you honestly looking at this face and telling me rn you know that’s a cisgender boy?

And honestly, the fact that Albert lends him some of his old clothes just to go around outside in, and then when he comes back the butler is like Take Those Off Right Now Those Aren’t For You is like. Hm. That’s a gender thing. It’s obviously not the case but yknow, another allegory TM.

In his own orphanage as well, he basically took the ‘eldest daughter’ role to a T. He was doing all the chores, taking care of the children, teaching them things, actually managing all the finances as a Child, and kind of thanklessly getting handed this workload he took on bc, you know, eldest daughter. This role just isn’t really given to guys, no matter if they’re Smart TM? I feel like an amab person here would be given the oooh special gifted kid treatment but he’s not, they mostly just use him there as “free extra mom and 100% adult at 12″.

Another big thing is the entire situation around bond, who is literally a canon trans character. For this time period, the way the Moriartys handled the situation seems almost comically out of place. These dudes from the 1800s really just were like “oh yeah ofc you’re a man and we’ll fight anyone who says otherwise and facilitate you in any way possible”- they accepted it without even having to come to terms with the idea that it could be a thing. Bond clarifies constantly that it isn’t about him filling a role, that this is genuinely him, there’s no doubt about it. They clearly have run across it before, and it’s a significant and important issue to them that at least one of them has to have experienced firsthand. It literally just doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

Also in this situation I think it’s kind of funny that the one name they have on hand for the transgenders is James like come on you can do better than that

The parallels between him and Bond also make the whole situation really funny, especially with Sherlock bc it’s like wow sherlock i see you have a type and it’s blond trans men. 

Plus, the man is overly secretive, he refuses to let anyone but Louis in his room and just generally doesn’t let people he doesn’t trust get close to him, obviously there are plenty of valid secrets he is keeping, it’s just another thing that points to it.

And I mean, honestly. Just look at the dude. Transgender trait: awful haircut. It’s the awful trans haircut you get from having a Gender Moment and going to a cis barber like “cut my hair short” and they give you karen hair. Somehow he owns it? But it’s an objectively terrible haircut.

My last point: because I said so. All my favorite characters get the transgenderification beam.

So you know, I refuse to believe he is cis until they decide we get to see him shirtless, come on anime team, don’t be cowards lmao
