The First Battle

Okay. Okay real talk here, just for a moment.

“Being born quirkless in a world where most everyone has a quirk of some kind” is a pretty solid premise. Gives us the whole “rooting for the underdog” theme from the get-go. Izuku gets rejected at every turn for wanting more than anything to be a hero, and he’s rejected every time due to having no quirk. I get it. I get that. I see that. 

But also, I just need to say, I lose my mind every time I rewatch episode 1. Every goddamn time and it’s strictly because of this screenshot.

These are. These are Izuku’s classmates. The ones pursuing the hero track. Somehow the series’ world-building just glosses over the fact that ¾ of the quirked populace has stupid fucking quirks. That seems important. That’s a big fucking deal. Like Horikoshi could only draw so many background characters before going “fuck it, he’s got fucking stretchy fingers that’s his fucking quirk”.

That fucker in the middle. That fucking stupid snail-boy. What’s he gonna do? Is he gonna spy on villains by looking over a wall that’s one foot taller than he is? “Oh shit boss, he’s looking above eye-level, we’re screwed now boss”  It’s called a ladder shit-idiot. Like?? Fuck?! Snail-boy here’s gonna just, make some fucking bolas with his eyeballs? Gonna fucking lasso some villains with his bolas-fucking eyes, this stupid motherfucker? I could punch snail boy in his bitch mouth and I don’t have a quirk. 

LIKE

THEY TAKE THE PISS OUTTA IZUKU FOR HAVING DREAMS OF HERO-DOM WHILE BEING QUIRKLESS. LIKE HE’S THE ONLY FUCKER IN THE CLASS NOT CUT OUT FOR THE JOB.

BUT EVERYONE ELSE HAS “WONDERFUL QUIRKS”

THIS STUPID MOTHER FUCKER DOESNT HAVE SILLY PUTTY EYEBALLS GUESS HE CAN’T FUCKING SAVE PEOPLE.

If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.

I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.

"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"

It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.

Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.

This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.

Hehe couldn't resist 😊💖 Based on that one photo of Daiki and Nobuhiko

On Neglect, Love, and Todoroki Fuyumi

Let the records state that there is nobody in the BNHA manga who I love more than Fuyumi. This essay is for her, just as much as it is for me, because there’s a lot to be said with her - a lot to understand, a lot to interpret, and a lot to still learn.

Please be aware of the warnings in the tags and as follows: I will be touching on child abuse and neglect, and how growing up in these situations hurts. I will be using my own experience as a baseline to relate. I don’t go into detail a lot of detail, but these are still topics that came up. Arm yourself if you wish to continue.

And here we go.

i'm never going to get over the fact that season 2 literally opened with ochaco explaining that she wants to be a hero to earn enough money to support her parents and lift them out of poverty. and then followed it up with the stain arc being entirely about fucking iida.

like I appreciate rectangle boy just as much as the next person. but What. The. Fuck.

the first rule of shipping is get aromantic with it. the second rule is that gender and sexuality are what i want them to be. the third rule is have fun and be yourself
