like to charge, reblog to cast <3
I want an event where Kalim, Rook, and Silver are the leads. Let the three of them having light magic be of some significance.
I'm surprised they haven't done this yet.
Thank you for your take.
Stop please the scary winter has come
Stop please the scary winter has come
We woke up to heavy rains, and our bedding, clothes, and all our belongings were completely soaked, as well as the flour that we used to prepare our basic food, which we had obtained after a long absence.
Praying for Idia actually because why is malleus so scary

Yes! Someone else has requested Leona down the line so this one will be dedicated to Jamil. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying them! Not sure if this one was as angsty as I was hoping for but my brain was really struggling with Jamil for no reason. Sorry if this one isn't as good as my other ones
Request rules and Masterlists
the Viper family has always served the Al-Asim family
since you were a part of the Viper family, you were expected to serve the Al-Asims like everyone else
this meant you had to spend your life doing whatever they said without being better than them at anything or speaking casually with them
your family was raised around them, so you were taught from a very young age how to act around them
your brother Jamil seemed very good at his job taking care of Kalim
he served Kalim well and never outshined him, but his talents still shined through
it was really impressive how he handled it all
especially with all of Kalim's whims and his carefree attitude
Jamil was a shining example of what your parents wanted
the perfect servant who did everything that was asked of him flawlessly, and didn't complain or protest in any way
you on the other hand, weren't perfect like him
at times it was difficult to keep up with your master and you would get tired quickly and even slip up as the day progressed
each and every time, you were scolded heavily by your parents
all it took was a quiet sigh for you to be scolded
eventually they had Jamil try to teach you how to be better
he...wasn't too happy about this
he's normally very busy anyway and this only took more time from him
Jamil acted very different from how he did normally
when it was just you, he didn't mind letting his frustration show
and he got frustrated quickly
he knew your parents standards so anything less than perfect service wasn't tolerated
so he didn't expect you to be perfect considering you needed his help, but he seemed to think you were worse than expected
in his eyes, teaching you might take a while
Jamil was certainly a strict teacher
he would have you practicing for hours and any mistake would mean you had to restart the process
there were some days where he was extra tired and he had no problems expressing that to you
when you failed then, he would mumble to himself like
"Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless and a waste of time."
you're not sure if he intended for you to hear his mumblings, but you certainly did each time
it's a bit spirit crushing to hear him say it more than once
it would make you dread the days when Kalim had more energy and was more lively
it wasn't really Kalim's fault but Jamil would be extra tired those days and end up taking it out on you
it was hard not to let his words get to you
so even when your parents decided that you didn't have to be taught by him anymore, his words stuck
anytime you failed at anything, his word would echo that you were hopeless
this followed you into Night Raven College too
especially since the only people you knew there were Jamil and Kalim
since Kalim was there, you were still expected to serve him
thankfully Kalim wasn't as strict about things and he treated you well
while you could be more at ease around Kalim, you couldn't around Jamil
he did give you some of his tasks to handle throughout the day and there were times you were left to watch Kalim
it wasn't too bad watching over Kalim
he was always very happy about it but that meant he wanted to go on adventures and do super exciting things with you
this is usually when it was more work
still, his energy and joy towards everything was nice
Jamil would check in periodically throughout the day to make sure you were doing everything right
if he saw something that was wrong, he'd immediately take over and tell you to just go anywhere else
all while mumbling to himself about it
for a bit, Kalim's joy was what kept you hopeful
but that changed too
during winter break, all of Scarabia was supposed to stay in order to train and study so we could do better in future events
Kalim himself ordered this
it didn't seem so bad at first
but then he made everyone march to the oasis multiple times throughout the day
it was far too much for everyone to handle
some students even passed out, and you started to feel it too
and to top it all off, Kalim wasn't actually marching with everyone
he got to ride on one of his elephants while everyone else marched
at some point, you decided to try and talk to Kalim about it
maybe you could get him to ease up on everyone just a little bit
you told him that the oasis was too far to walk to in the heat and some students, including you, were starting to feel like you're going to pass out
but Kalim snapped at you
"If you can't keep up, we'll leave you behind. We can't waste any time on people like you."
oh
it was like you were back to your childhood being taught by Jamil
but it was a little different coming from Kalim
almost spirit crushing all over again
you just went along with the march after that, not wanting to be left behind
for some reason, Kalim was much meaner to you after that
he's been more snappy and couldn't tolerate anything less than the best
and you didn't seen to cut it
still, you had to serve Kalim and Jamil made sure you did
Jamil told you that this was all for the better and that you should be helping encourage your peers
but it just didn't seem right to you
he only got more upset when you expressed that and started mumbling again
you can't remember much of what happened after that but you do remember that some of the other students seemed pretty upset with you
that wasn't the only time it happened either
there were a few more times when people would be upset with you, but you had no idea why
that was until some Octavinelle students came
they were guests and treated pretty well
but then Octavinelle's housewarden, Azul, exposed Jamil using a recording
Jamil was using his unique magic to control the minds of Scarabia...
that explains what's been happening to you and why Kalim has been acting meaner
Jamil was using the both of you to help enforce his plans
Kalim is the housewarden, but Jamil has been in charge this whole time
Kalim was pretty upset and tried confronting Jamil...
but that only led to Jamil overblotting and Kalim and the Octavinelle students were sent off into the desert
you were left with overblot Jamil
he had already started putting all of Scarabia under his control, but you just had to ask him
"Why? Why would you do this? To Kalim or me?"
he laughed
"I can't be expected to waste my life as someone else's servant. I'm meant to be the one in charge. You and Kalim are just easy pawns made to help me."
a pawn
that's all you were to Jamil
you can't remember much after that, which meant he must've used his magic on you again
when you were brought back to your senses, he had been defeated by Kalim and the others
and of course, Kalim was quick to forgive him, even wanting to throw a celebration
but you just couldn't take it
you couldn't be there and pretend like everything was okay, so you left Scarabia that night
and yet, Jamil had found you outside classes the next day and tried talking to you
"I just wanted to talk to you about everything that's happened. For the most part I just wanted to say...I'm sorry. It's not enough, I know that. But I hope that someday you could forgive me and I can work to be closer with you."
But can you forgive him after everything?
I feel you 😞
Oh boy, time to pull for Kalim. I hope this goes well.
Ace, you son of a bitch-
Epel looks so miserable when you send him to self study help 😭

i don't like the growing opinion that people are being 'too hard' on deku for his failing to save shigaraki.
i've seen quite a few people complaining that a lot of the bnha-critical crowd are being too mean to deku for getting tomura killed, arguing that it isn't really his fault, and that hes a 16 year old child soldier who's been failed by almost every adult in his life, why should we be putting all of this on his shoulders? hes just a kid after all?
and the truth is, they're right. deku IS a 16 year old boy whos had the fate of the world thrust on his shoulders. but the story itself just plainly refuses to acknowledge this.
the narrative doesn't acknowledge how fucked up having a school that trains literal children how to be combo cop-celebrities is. it only tentatively acknowledges the fact that a universe having combo cop-celebrities is fucked up, and even then the only people who ever point this out are antagonists, who are portrayed and treated in-universe as untrustworthy. the narrative doesn't care how fucked up dekus circumstances are. the narrative treats deku like hes a fucking messiah here to touch the hearts of the evil depressed villains with his magical empathetic heart of gold before they get blown up or just sent to fucking superhell for daring to challenge the status quote.
deku isn't a person. he's barely even a fucking character at this point. he's a plot device, and a mouth piece for the objectively shitty themes bnha is trying to spout. the themes that tell you that if you're mistreated by society and want to do something about it, you're a villain. that disrupting the status quote and refusing to repent to some random teenage boy spouting empty platitudes at you means you deserve to get sent to fucking superhell. the themes that portray people fighting for civil change as mass murdering supervillains. the themes that look the audience dead in the eye and can call deku the greatest hero to ever live.
deku, who barely spared a second thought to lady nagant telling him the truth about the hero commission. who spouts meaningless platitudes about heroism and morality at nagant, and aoyama, and toga and shigaraki, when even the thought that he should question the world around him comes up. who's constantly talked about as this truly kind, empathetic person, but hasn't spared an empathetic thought to literally anyone who is classified as a villain. who listened to every authority figure around him except the ones who asked him to question his worldview. who saw la bravas tears, shigarakis various breakdowns, himikos plead for understanding, chisakis catatonic state, lady nagants truth, and barley batted a fucking eye. deku, who killed tomura shigaraki.
people don't criticize deku for failing shigaraki because they just hate deku. people criticize deku because of what he represents. because hes a mouthpiece for the atrocious morals and themes of this ideologically rotten manga. because any character he had was chopped up to bits in favor of the incomplete husk we have now. people criticize deku because hes the main character of my hero academia. theres nothing more damning then that.
