Last minute piece for a competition. Love how this turned out!! Used the anime trope of a deep blue sky with tall, fluffy clouds to frame the focal point, v fun v kosher v demure. This is just a sword in the stone type thing, izuku is a half deer cause I feel like it makes him more underdogs. When he gets trained by all might though those deer legs become WEAPONS let me tell you
You have reminded me of the Stardew Valley EraserMic AU and how much I miss it, no fair š„ŗ
farmer mic is still a disaster š

ah yes like mother like son
As a late diagnosed autist I will say one of the most damaging but transformative experiences I've ever had was being misdiagnosed with BPD.
Everyday my heart goes out to people with BPD.
The amount of stigma and silencing they face is astonishing and sickening.
I took DBT for years. Therapists use to turn me away because of my diagnosis.
I would be having full blown autistic meltdowns, crying for help literally - but because I was labeled as BPD ANY time I cried I was treated as manipulative and unstable.
As if the only reason I could be crying was if I was out to trick someone.
95% of the books out there with Borderline in the title are named shit like 'How to get away from a person with Borderline', 'How to stop walking on eggshells (with a person who has BPD)'
I was never allowed to feel true pain or panic or need.
That was 'attention seeking behavior', not me asking for help when a disability was literally inhibiting my ability to process emotions.
There were dozens of times where I had a full meltdown and was either threatened with institutionalization or told I was doing it for attention.
My failing relationships weren't due to a communication issue, or the inability to read social cues. No, because I was labeled borderline, my unstable relationships were my fault. Me beggong nuerotypicals to just be honest and blunt with what they meant was me pestering them for validation.
Borderline patients can't win.
And the funny thing is - I asked my therapist about autism. I told her I thought I was on the spectrum.
BPD is WILDLY misdiagnosed with those with autism and I had many clear signs.
Instead - she told me 'If you were autistic we wouldn't be able to have this conversation'. She made me go through a list of autistic traits made clearly for children, citing how I didn't fit each one.
And then she told me that me identifying with the autism community was the BPD making me search for identity to be accepted - and that I wasn't autistic, just desperate to fit in somewhere.
I didn't get diagnosed for another ten years. For ten years I avoided the autism community - feeling as if I were just a broken person who wanted to steal from people who 'really needed it'.
Because of my providers - I began to doubt my identity MORE, not less.
Ten years of thinking I was borderline and being emotionally neglected and demonized by a system meant to help me.
To this day, I still don't trust neurotypicals. Not fully.
I know I'm not borderline now - but my heart aches for them. Not for the usual stuff. But for the stigma. And the asshole doctors. And the dismissiveness and threatening and the idea of institutionalization hanging over their head.
I love Borderline people. I always will. I'm not Borderline but if you are I love you and I'm sorry.
You're not a bad person. You're not a therapists worst nightmare, you are a human with valid feelings and fears.
Borderline people I'm sorry.
Heavy topic.
They look so exhausted in the last chapters
So. turns out, actual plot for my Erasermic adopting Eri/Shinsou/Mirio AU isnāt as forthcoming as Iād hopedā¦
What has been, is my Villain!AizawaAU (he still saves/kidnaps adopts Eri, also eventual Erasermic because I am WEAK!)
Here is the opening for it.
The Shouta of this AU will be a much darker, more cynical one, not having the positive influences of people like Mic in his life to bring that extra bit of light or hope. This is an Aizawa that lost all his faith in the world and in Heroes at 17 and gave up on his dream.
Who gave into his darker more violent impulses and turned towards the darkness (though I would say heās probably closer to an Antihero or Vigilante then an actual villain)
This fic will both go into Aizawaās past and delve into how one persons actions can change a person and how sometimes love doesnāt concor all or save a person, and sometimes, doing the right thing can lead to terrible consequences.
The Fic will start a little before the attack on the USJ and then follow alongside the my hero story, though with quite a few changes⦠Some, I doubt anyone will see coming~
Mic will also play a key role in this story, not only as āShoutaāsā main love interest, but as the Hero hunting down the elusive villain known only as āThe Eraserā and the homeroom teacher of the infamous Class 1-A
Though if I had to give a quick summary of what this story will be about, it would be: Single dad just trying to get by and do right by his daughter by day, and Villainous Antihero by night, doing what needs to be done to help the world in his own twisted way.
But yeah, donāt want to give to much away, so ima leave this here. Iād love to hear peopleās thoughts though!
Why is the picture quality shit. Idk.
Thank you @yourlunarspice ššš
Hori literally serving up so many hard drawings after BNHA ending, like did we only get crumbs the whole time šš
Present Mic: Have you ever had a little sister who was essentially legally kidnapped by the yakuza and used as a human weapon until she was rescued by some kids Shinsou: What?? No?? Present Mic, holding up Eri: WOULD YOU LIKE ONE?
