"because i really did think ground zero was a 'all edge and no point' name the thing is kamino shouldnt be about Bakugo and All Might's retirment" I should state for the record that I thought Ground Zero as a cool name would be more as a pun on explosions than a Kamino reference. Like ground zero of an explosion?
You’re on record and valid and can find it cool, but considering the deliberate phrasing of the kamino ground zero monument marker in canon, plus the actual connotations of a bomb’s ground zero, really means it wouldn’t have been much of a pun. Also, in my opinion, a pun has to have a double meaning or twist of a word, otherwise it’s just a reference to an explosive thing. “Dynamite”, “Explodo”, “Grenade Pin”, etc etc, are like “Ground Zero” in that they wouldn’t count as puns so much as thematic words. its when you play with Dynamight or Napalm or Kingpin that it’s actually puns, sorta like how he built his original name (rip king explosion murder, you three-puns-in-a-trench-coat)
In a completely different vein, i think “Ground Zero” would have been a difficult name to use as hero for the same reason your call name can’t be “Over” or “Roger” when you’re on walkie-talkies. Just imagine the confusion of being a hero on the field and hearing ‘get to ground zero and work on recon’, and you have no clue if you were told to go find Ground Zero and start recon where he is, or get to the ground zero of the attack and work there. Like i could see Bakugou actually trying to put this name on his license and it gets flagged like ‘oh sorry kid, that one’s banned like names like ‘The Hero’ or ‘Attacksite’, got to pick something else.”
#anyway theres my thoughts on record i guess now too#anyway anyway im not particularly intersted in keeping this subject of the convo up#i've been vauging today but that old discorse i mentioned?#yeah like. three or four years ago there was A Lot of disc horse about baku's hero name#like so much that it ended up impacting those couple of cool bakustans that i actually liked off the site#it faded and fizzeled over a year and nobody carred anymore#but whenver i see someone complaining like 'well if ground zero was a problem surely there would have been discourse before!'#like yeah. there was.#you missed it#and ur lucky to have#the only reason im still here as a witness to that was my lack of emotional investment in that argument#but wooo boy it got heated at times#i remember when one took down a longfic because of it#there werent even hero names in that au but the argument spread past the diskhourse on the hero name#to dis course on the character himself#and i checked out for a while there#came back and everyone was gone#anyway yeah i think the names had to be a real pun to please me and not just a bomb reference like 'grenade' or 'detonate'#hence my favorits of dynamight or kingpin (lov u annie) or napalm#puns are cool#and like esp in japan im not sure why the pun aspect of this is considered 'cringy teen weeb' by so many western fans#like. theres a lot of cringy hero names that were obviously thought up by teens#but dynamight is nowhere near the top of those#stop mocking dynamight and start rethinking 'cant stop twinkling'#now thats an uncool name#(lov u yuga but. im not wrong.)#tailman... invisbile girl... grape juice....#yike#pocket talks to people#gojifan97

Craig and Those Guys Week: Day 5 - Sleepover 💤 🎮
The third and final oneshot I wrote for @craigandthoseguys-week !! Craig POV this time!
Thank you for reading!!
----
Token’s residence has always been the favourite hangout, so it was expected that the votes were unanimous when our group decided where to have our highly anticipated boy’s night. My house usually had adult guests over during the evening, Tweek’s parents don’t leave us alone at his place, Clyde wasn’t a very good host, and Jimmy’s parents had completely banned any of his friends from going over because of the aftermath when they went out of town once. Playing fantasy in fourth grade had it’s consequences.
Mr and Mrs Black even decided to take a spa trip so that we’d purposely have the house to ourselves. Risky, but I guess Token is reliable enough to make sure the house is in pristine condition by the time they get back. Even if the rest of us aren’t.
After the four of us shared a car to get there, we were joyfully greeted by Token at his front door and led up to his room. Only it wasn’t Token at the front, it was Clyde, who excitedly (and pretty rudely) barged right in front of us all. We’re all equipped with sleeping bags and rucksacks, each carrying a different assortment of things. Well...besides the essentials.
We collectively decided that I would be in charge of bringing booze to the occasion. My parents were the only ones who didn’t give a shit if I hoarded a large amount of alcohol, so there was no debating it.
Clyde had brought a TON of junk food. He regularly had a pantry stocked with all kinds of goodies (when he wasn’t scoffing it himself) so he just grabbed whatever he could find and stuffed it in a bag.
Tweek was in charge of DVD’s. Being the anxious wreck that he is, we figured it would be best that he picked the film selection so that he didn’t get too disturbed by anything. I did help him out a little, though.
And lastly, Jimmy took it upon himself to come up with any backup plans, incase we got bored with anything. We had no doubts that he would think of some fun shit to do, or bring something that would entertain us. After all, we’d do anything to avoid going to sleep early.
Token had a good amount of food and entertainment himself, but we thought it was only fair to handle our own, since his parents were being so accommodating to us. Plus, he had every video game console thinkable, and a good game selection at that. We were more than prepared.
~
Walking into Token’s oversized bedroom, Clyde drops his backpack on the ground and launches himself onto the kingsized bed starfish style.
“You know you’re not sleeping there right...?” I remind him.
“Unless you’re s-s-spooning with T-Token.” Jimmy jokes from behind me.
Clyde just nuzzles into the bed even further. “I’m sure he’d be happy to have me.”
“Uhhh like fuck I would...” Token retorts, “Your ass is on the floor.”
Clyde turns onto his side and attempts his sexiest pose (which, believe it or not, wasn’t sexy at all). “Don’t be like that baby~”
“Just get over here and unroll your damn sleeping bag” Token says, throwing the sleeping bag directly at Clyde’s head with perfect aim. The impact sends him flying backwards. I thought Clyde was supposed to be the sporty one out of us? He can’t catch if his life depended on it.
Tweek stands next to me, shaking his head and smirking. It definitely isn’t a first for us to witness antics like this; we’re so used to it, it’s unbelievable. I take his rucksack off him and put in down next to mine.
“Here, I’ll take care of your bed.”
“Ngh! Craig, I’m fine doing it myself, really!”
I ignored him and started to set it up anyway. But the little shit went over and grabbed mine instead. Tweek can be a stubborn fuck sometimes, but it wasn’t all that much of a bad thing.
We’d all laid out our sleeping bags in a line (in front of the television, of course) as the sun was just about to set outside. Mine was on the far left, with Tweek next to me, Clyde next to him and Jimmy on the right. We changed into our pyjamas and nestled into our sleeping bags, Token sitting down right in the middle of us. Damn right were we gonna make this a proper conventional slumber party.
Token switched the TV on and some animal documentary was showing. There was a lioness with some lion cubs and it was telling the story of their survival.
“No way?! You’ve got the Nintendo Switcheroo!” Clyde exclaims out of nowhere, making us all jump out of our skin. He crawls over to the console to investigate. Token looks pissed off as Clyde’s big-ass head was blocking some of the screen, and he seems kind of invested in the lion story.
I sigh. “…you did NOT just call it a fucking Nintendo Switcheroo..."
“Of course he’s got one man! He owns everything!” Tweek jokes.
“Yeah, p-p-pauper.” Jimmy stutters. Token just blows a raspberry in response.
“We need to play Mario Kart. We’re playing Mario Kart. Right now.” Clyde dictates.
I groan and roll my eyes. I thought that game had died many years ago…however…when it WAS a thing, I did kick some serious ass.
Fortunately the game box was staring him right in the face, so he started trying to set it up, taking out the disc and trying to figure out how to switch the console on.
Meanwhile the documentary was getting pretty dramatic, as a group of hyenas were closing in on the mother lion and her kids. She was fighting them off, but then the narrator explains how she left behind one of her babies while doing so. It shows one of the hyenas circling the cub like a shark.
Tweek yells out, turning his head away. “Oh god hurry up Clyde!! It’s gonna eat the cub!!”
“I’m trying!!” Clyde whines, pressing any button BUT the correct one. It was clear he wasn’t a fan of the documentary either by how frantic he was being.
The hyena started closing in on the cub.
“CLYDE!! PLEASE!!” Tweek holds his hands over his ears, trying to completely shut it out. I try and comfort him while looking over at Token as if to say ‘don’t just sit there, help him’. He does exactly that and crawls over, pressing a button on the side with ease. Thankfully, the channel automatically switches over and the game console loads onto the screen. I feel a giant exhalation of relief coming from Tweek, who finally withdraws himself from burying his face in my chest.
~
Eventually the title screen appears with the familiar Mario Kart jingle playing. Jimmy starts to wiggle along to it, which, of course, persuades Clyde to dance too. Tweek and I decided we’d share the controller and take it in turns since there could only be four players at once.
When it came to selecting our characters; Token picked Mario, Jimmy went for Toad, and Clyde settled for the ‘Fly Guy’ (Shy Guy). I let Tweek pick our character and he went for Yoshi.
The first course was selected and it was one of the basic Mario stadium courses. Tweek passed the controller to me and the race began. Clyde and I zoomed off ahead, Token went at a normal start, and Jimmy pressed the button too early and caused his kart to blow up.
“Fuck…f-f-f…f-fuck a duck.” Jimmy curses.
I end up taking the lead by quite a bit, Clyde chasing me in second. He’s super competitive; the kinda guy who leans in the same direction as he steers. He was constantly targeting me; sending red and blue shells in my direction at any chance he could. Typical.
The race ends with me in 1st, Clyde in 2nd, Token in 5th and Jimmy in 8th.
“Loser chugs his beer!!” Clyde makes a terrible suggestion. Jimmy rolls with it anyway, grabbing a can of beer and impressively chugging while Clyde and Token count from 10 down to zero. Jimmy can be a real dark horse. Well…maybe not when it comes to Mario Kart though.
Race number 2 is some sort of jack-and-the-beanstalk type level. Tweek takes the wheel this time, and it proved to have been a bad idea. The road has a lot of holes and tight corners without barriers, and Tweek somehow managed to fall off every single one. It even got to the point where the CPU in first place was lapping him.
Of course, he was very vocal about this. “Jesus are you kidding me?! How are you supposed to make that turn?! HOW?!”
Token ended up in 2nd place, Clyde in 4th, Jimmy in 5th, and Tweek…in last place. Before the other guys could even suggest it, I grabbed my can of beer and chugged for ten seconds. They just looked at me dumbfounded, including Tweek. Like hell was I gonna let Tweek chug his beer; I don’t even think he’s opened his can up yet. We’re a team, and I’m the one who’ll be taking the consequences.
The next race came around and it was one of the Bowser castles. Clyde struggled in this level, while Token, Jimmy and I were in the top three. Clyde, after somehow blaming Token for his loss, ended up coming 9th and chugged his beer like there was no tomorrow.
The last stage loaded up…Rainbow Road. Of COURSE Tweek had to get the two difficult courses... I kept my beer in my hand ready to chug again.
The race starts; there goes Clyde. Plummeting into the void below.
Jimmy starts off pretty well but eventually starts to lose his skill when it comes to the tight corners.
Token is a little better than the other two, but he keeps getting hit with items from the CPUs and ends up being knocked back in the placing.
With Clyde in last, Jimmy in 11th and Token in 9th…where does that put Tweek, I hear you ask? Well... Tweek was driving so slowly and cautiously that he managed to dodge the majority of the corners. Then he got a bullet item on the last lap and soared his way right into 2nd place. He even gave an excited little fist pump when he crossed the finish line.
“…...I think that victory alone deserves a chug from all of you.” I insist, slinging my arm around Tweek. He chuckles in response.
After a few groans and eye rolls, the three of them reluctantly chug their beer while Tweek and I counted down from 10.
~
A couple hours later and Jimmy had decided that we were going to play drinking games. How old were we again?
Tweek even agreed to it, intrigued at what kind of secrets were going to be revealed during this.
“Never have I ever…gotten arrested!” Token starts.
Well…we’ve all been in trouble with the police at some point, but actually arrested? Hmm…I’m sure I got caught with something illegal once. I drink anyway.
Jimmy drinks due to causing grievous bodily harm to his ex girlfriend, Nancy.
Clyde drinks due his whole involvement with the Nazi zombies and stealing the green goo from the government.
Tweek doesn’t drink because he’s never actually been arrested. Of course, he’s still been in trouble with the police like the rest of us back in our ‘vigilante’ days.
Next it was Jimmy’s turn. “N-never have I ever been awake for more than t-t-twenty four hours.”
Clyde doesn’t drink. The dude can’t function without at least 8 hours of sleep.
Token takes a sip while telling us about how one time he’d spent all night studying for finals and then worked a 12 hour shift the next day. He makes way too much work for himself sometimes...
Tweek and I both drink. Do I even need to explain Tweek’s reasoning?
“Uhhh…never have I ever…broken somebody's heart.” Tweek takes his turn.
Fuck, another shot for me. I had no regrets when it came to making girls cry when I was younger. He manages to catch the other three out too; Clyde and Token even clink their cans together, sighing disappointedly. We’re a gang of heartbreakers.
Clyde is up next. “Never have I everrrr…..sent a text to the wrong person!”
Nobody else drinks but Jimmy; I figured he would be pretty flippant in that area.
But then I realised something.
“…wait…that is horse shit.”
Clyde looks at me bewildered. I whip out my phone and bring up Clyde’s texts. I can feel Tweek’s chin resting on my shoulder, taking a peek.
“3 weeks ago. Wednesday, July 10th. 9:24pm. ‘hey babe u looked gorgeous on ur recent instagram pic, u got nice legs’.” I look back up at him with a blank expression, Tweek chuckling next to me.
Clyde goes completely silent for a minute, his face flushing bright pink. Jimmy and Token laugh a little too, Jimmy putting his arm over Clyde in sympathy.
“Are you s-sure he doesn’t just think your legs are nice, C-C-Craig?” Jimmy winks at me.
“Jimmy…when have I ever showed my legs on Instagram.” I scoff.
“There’s a first for everything!” Token jests.
~
In the early hours of the morning we find ourselves sprawled across the floor in our sleeping bags, watching All Dogs Go To Heaven - a film that Tweek had chosen. He was resting his head on my lap, and when it neared the end of the movie, I noticed him sniffing. I reached down and wiped away the tiny bit of water that had appeared under his eye. Meanwhile, Clyde had used up an entire tissue box, Token wasn’t even watching the film because he was cleaning up after Clyde, and Jimmy was making fun of every little aspect of the film.
When the movie finished we moved right onto another one; some cheesy comedy that Token had suggested. Mainly because Tyler Perry was in it.
Clyde was asleep within minutes; mouth wide open and snoring like a pig.
It didn’t take long for Jimmy to doze off too, clearly not impressed with the humour.
Token was now in his bed, snickering to himself and eating potato chips. From the angle he was at, he probably didn’t realise that all four of us were completely disinterested in the movie.
Tweek was snuggled into the side of my neck, slowly drifting into dream world. I drew circles on his back with the tip of my fingers, using my other hand to play with a strand of his thin blonde hair. A few years ago this would have never been a thing; there’d only be the four of us, with Tweek hanging out with entirely different cliques. Luckily the guys were quick to accept him into our group once we started dating, and treated him like one of us immediately.
I guess that’s one of the many things I can thank them for.
