#too bad too many fics already

[bittertomato]

Tired from phd thesis writing gonna think about this again

... Yikes I thought a lot about this AU

No OP Esper powers but there's still experiment bullshit. Love me some fucked up science to cope with my basic science life.

The Level 5s are a military experiment to develop enhanced super soldiers I fucking guess.

The #1 started off as their first and only all-round success. His reflexes are so strong that he's essentially untouchable. A single punch is stronger than a cannon. He moves faster than bullets. Idk. Think the most ridonkulus abilities ever.

Yes I know it's wild that Accelerator went from twink who relied on his reflection powers to someone who's essentially the strongest fighter in the world.

The #2 trained together with #1, but his specs fell short despite going through the same training regime.

The researchers decided that successfully replicating all of #1's specs was a pipe dream, so they started training other Level 5s with some sort of specialization.

#3 has lightning fast reflexes (heh, get it?). She prefers fighting with quick successive strikes, though her "signature move" is something like Saitama's "single normal punch". It wrecks her arm every time she uses it though. Her muscle fibers are durable enough to withstand constant wear and tear from moving quickly, but not a single explosive strike like that.

#4 replicated #1's overall strength. While #3's general output is limited (in Level 5 terms), #4 can dish out those explosive strikes without damaging her body right away. And even if her bones literally break and her muscles tear, she can keep fighting anyway. Girls' got the highest pain tolerance of all the Level 5s.

#5 replicated, and even exceeded, #1's charisma and persuasive ability. Think "sweet talking" but cranked up by 500. Also she's still the least athletic, but because of all the drugs and experiments she's still strong enough to tank punches from a grown man. Doesn't mean she likes it.

#6 was a genius and got the fuck out years ago lol

#7 wasn't actually a lab guinea pig that grew up under the experiments. He was brought in because he naturally had these aptitudes. The higher ups couldn't control him though and he destroyed every facility he was brought to, so they just left him alone.

The ranks are just based on when they started the training regime. It doesn't have anything to do with strength lol.

The Level 5 candidates from canon (specifically Junko and Takitsubo because I don't want to think about the others) were the "next generation" meant to replicate a specific Level 5's capabilities. I'm throwing Kinuahata in this group too. ITEM's stacked.

Mikoto still gets her DNA misused, though the "Level 6 Shift" project gets accelerated in this AU. The experimenters started with one, a dozen, and then amped it up to over a hundred Sisters to dogpile Accelerator. It's not as much of a curbstomp as canon, but he still beats them.

The Sisters have similar capabilities as Mikoto, though their specs are also downgraded.

Alright, that's for powers and shit. Now for relationships:

Accelerator and Kakine were part of the same training group, while Mikoto, Shokuhou, and Mugino came after them.

Mikoto is dense AF. Specifically, Shokuhou lowkey grew attached to her. Because of the two other girls, Mikoto was just slightly less batshit murder crazy than Mugino.

After they reached a certain point in their development, the researchers let them mingle with the outside world. Everyone went off on their own, and Shokuhou never spoke up about wanting to stay with Mikoto.

Mikoto enrolled in the same university and met Kuroko. Idk the details of the start of their friendship and I probably won't until the current Railgun manga hashes out their relationship, but let's just say they became good friends.

Kuroko comes from a wealthy family and is trying to pursue a career in law.

Kuroko also introduces Mikoto to her friends Saten and Uiharu.

Their friendship becomes strained when Mikoto learns about this AU's equivalent of the Level 6 Shift. Her first meeting with Accelerator went... bad.

Basically, parried and countered her strongest attack so fast and effortlessly that Mikoto didn't even realize she was knocked into a coma for a week until she woke up.

She does a similar strategy as canon and tries to destroy all the research facilities involved in it, but she's frequently intercepted by Accelerator himself.

Idk how the project gets stopped honestly. Maybe some teamup with Kakine (because he's so damn petty).

But Mikoto is arrested for property damage and all sorts of other things, and doesn't explain the situation to Kuroko (a junior officer on the case).

Shokuhou bails Mikoto out of jail and finally confesses her old repressed feelings.

Mikoto decides to leave Japan with Misaka 10032.

Did I just Kogami Shinya-fy Mikoto? Yes.

She'll be back 7 years later. Shit happens between Shokuhou and Kuroko. I'll think about this later.

Modern AU with Vigilante/mafia Mikoto x Senator Misaki x Officer Kuroko...

i tire of posts complaining about the quality of other people's writing. a) this discourages new writers from sharing their work. b) fanfiction is free. c) you're killing the vibe and the whimsy. d) go do it yourself if everyone sucks so bad. bitchass

[dykedvonte]

I think the most baffling thing about the Tulpar as a vessel to me is the fact that the ship really did only have a one way communication system.

I know it was cheap but even the most basic of vessels regarding major transport would have some way, shape or form for outside communication. Not only that but there was absolutely no form of innate emergency signal to show they may have been offline or in trouble despite clearly having a system to dock credits if they went off course. It's another factor that really shows that bad situations are made to get worse by design. One person who is required to relay all information to the crew and make all the choices without feedback. No way to update or call for help in case of a dire situation. No way to inform of inner personal conflicts and acquire procedures accordingly.

It really is like they are all in some sort of fucked up solitary confinement. They have their own world with strict roles that are meaningless in the end, as long as the cargo makes it, it doesn't matter what happens on that ship to the company. They don't want to hear anything and will come to conclusions on what happened based on how much pay they can withhold from the workers. Even what they do send is short, sterile and corporate to the extent it was likely written and sent out with a command by some random unmanned computer in an office.

There's something to be said about how unfair it is to force absolute power and control onto one person when you as an entity could do so much more to offload it but I've said it many times before so I won't again.

I'm not allowed to be on social media for more than two seconds today but I just wanted to say that Laios will absolutely have his own reaction to all this as someone who would die for Falin but has also imprinted on Marcille as his Emotional Support Comphet White Girl Not-Girlfriend along the way

i finally deleted twitter! it sucks that i’ve lost that little corner of the fandom, but it didn’t make sense to maintain once it was in musk’s hands, so this was long overdue. i will always credit the skam fandom that i found over there back in 2017 for shaping me as a writer, as well as for inspiring me to travel. i know it was considered a toxic place for the fandom even back then, but it was a platform i grew up with and could communicate on, which meant i connected with some very lovely people. i was devastated when my original account was suspended back in like, 2021? because i had lost a lot of early writing and some friends who had moved on to other fandoms at that point. but i tried to take screenshots of what i had left. a lot of my links to twitter won’t work now, either, but that’s what you get when you depend on someone else as an archival tool.

anyway, a couple of years ago i was thinking about even’s notebook and that became these tweets below the cut. my shorter ideas might end up here now, or on bluesky.

i rmr when all the initial meta around endgame was coming out people were talking about steve being depressed and whatnot and it's like well yeah but he's BEEN depressed, like he woke up alone in this century and he kept going, now i can understand it being worse this time after finding a family and getting bucky back and losing them all except of course that's not why endgame steve was on about so like......the people writing meta were trying to connect these things that of course weren't really there on screen because that simply wasn't our steve

but i think it really could've been SO interesting to see this is the thing that finally makes steve stay down like he's lost so much and he just CAN'T keep fighting like i get some people think that's what they were going for but considering the ending......it's really not. and so i'm just thinking about a version after iw, maybe he gets some of the thor treatment except not turning his depression into a dumb fatphobic joke lol and maybe nat and others are trying to get through to him and it just doesn't work and then we get some flashbacks (which you could have done for all the original avengers actually which would be particularly important for bruce and nat and clint who did not have their own trilogies) including his mom telling him "you always stand up" and THAT being the thing to finally get him moving like it would've been such a perfect way to finally show sarah rogers some respect and ACTUALLY show steve really struggling instead of whatever they tried to do with him in that movie

i need a kaishin fanfic with the title "how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand" so badddd

[kinaesthetiqueer]

(follow-up to this)

having grown up in atlas, weiss is very familiar with the academy's team anti-frat policy and gets very hung up on just how much trouble they could get in if anyone thinks they're dating.

(which they're definitely not doing. no, sir. absolutely not, sir.)

so better safe than sorry.

(except winter has eyes. and also doesn't care.)

I loved how smitten Yo Han is in your newest fic. How soft he tries to be for Ga On, especially at the end with the hug. The love and understanding between the two is so incredibly presented. It's something we needed after everything these two have been through, in the show and in the slow burn of Who Holds the Devil.

I would have loved to see how Yo Han got his revenge and how it all played out because if there's one thing we know, it's that he will make sure he pays it back.

I will spread the gospel of Sappy Old Man Yo Han until the day I die. Especially in a fic like this, when I can write his most vicious and violent sides, and contrast them with his most tender and caring ones. Because he is so incredibly soft for Ga On, yes. And I love the fact that Yo Han has learned to embrace that, too — and is kind of proud of it, even? That's growth right there!

Aaaaand yeah. This is a nice change from the agony that is Who Holds the Devil — for me as well x'D

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Who Holds the Devil, but I'm not a big fan of angst. I prefer the kind of soft and domestic fluff I could write in It Is Mine to Avenge. We'll eventually get to that in Who Holds the Devil, too, it's just that it's going to take a while still...

You're not the first to say that you would like to see what happens next, but I'm afraid I have no plans to write that. I feel no urge to continue since I've already told the story I wanted to tell, and forcing it is usually a very bad idea. Not to mention that I'm terrified at the thought of having to come up with a suitably complex and bombastic plot for Yo Han to execute x'D He's a lot more imaginative than I am.

(Also, I already have so many other projects I want to work on >_> )

But what I can say is that I think he'll be targeting Nam Hyung Soo's reputation first — to ruin his image and credibility with the public — and then frame him for something that'll get him thrown into prison for the foreseeable future. It's just neater that way, since fewer people will protest or try to have him released again if everyone hates him.

So yes, Yo Han will definitely make sure to get his revenge.

Thank you so, so much for your kind words! Take care 💜

several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold

[mirawhat]

am i dead? no. do i kinda wish i was? sure.

idk if its because of playing ffxiv(*), or because of adhd(***) or because of poor time management or because i live alone and have to do all the chores all the time all alone, but i do not understand what should i do ti have time for everything i want to do. i have so little obligations outside of 9hr work day but i just dont have time!!! for basic things!!!!!! and i hate this

Just came across a newsletter thing for another fandom I am absolutely not a part of but I must say that I'm envious. Organised links to various fandom contributions in the form of short fic, long fic, images/videos/audio AND fandom discussions -- and there's a big handful of each and it's updated regularly and it's all recent stuff that covers different aspects of their fannish experience in different platforms.

Why can't we have that

For anyone else who is a fan of self-inserting, do you ever encounter a character that you actually think you as a person would have a very interesting relationship dynamic with (and not necessarily in a romantic way)?

I thought I'd keep my Emotional Support Fic Yearly Reread for september/october when I'll be stressed out of my mind living alone with paperwork and schoolwork to do but actually I think right now is a good time
