hi!! let me start this by saying that I love your writing to bits and I'm having a blast with all the extra info we're getting with the asks!!

im case you're still answering them, and since so far no one has taken the bait, I gotta ask: what's up with Hatsume's class and their obsession with Mirio in pez dispenser debris? and do Power Loader and Aizawa have some sort of support group?

(I'll sneak in that it's really funny to me that you wrote pez dispenser debris while procastinating studing for the bar exam, because I was also studing for the bar exam at the time you started posting it, and I procastinated studing by reading it 🤝)

WERE YOU THE PERSON WHO MADE A COMMENT ON ONE OF THE ORIGINAL POSTS ABOUT HOW YOU WERE READING IT AS A BREAK FROM STUDYING

Hatsume Mei and the rest of the support class insist they’re just joking about the religious cult aspect of it all but also everyone’s sort of nervously laughing in the corner because the entire school is increasingly certain that they’re not joking. Basically, Hatsume Mei has such fucking weird girl energy that she has brought a religious fervor to the invention of support technologies. It is a holy mission dedicated to making tech that is sick as fuck. Hatsume Mei infected them all with her maniac energy and they all started acting like her about it.

Power loader doesn’t know what happened okay this class is insane it’s insane and he was busy putting out all the literal fires and then one day he realized they were call each other Sibling and there was a shrine to a wrench with googly eyes in the corner of the room and when he tried to take it down all the students just stared at him, unblinking and still, with hammers and saws in hand, and there’s a white board? No one can use? Because they are manifesting the coming of their Chosen One? He is afraid?? He goes to the Hound Dog and he says “Hound Dog you are the guidance counselor and these kids they need some guidance please go guide them I don’t want to get out of my car in the school parking lot each morning I’m afraid man I’m afraid” and Hound Dog goes to them and he says “heyyyyy kids what’s. What’s up with all this.” And totally fucking normally those demon children all say “oh it’s just an inside joke” and so Hound Dog says to Power Loader “it’s just a joke man they’re kids let them have their fun” but it’s not it’s not a joke they all mean it now. He thinks they’re trying to lull him into a false sense of security so they can sacrifice him to the wrench. He is fighting for his fucking life over here.

He and Aizawa go drinking together every weekend.

One of the biggest issues with support technologies is how they interact with Quirks. Take Izuku. He is a nightmare to make support gear for. Everything just fucking breaks on him. Do you have this sick fucking electroshock bracelets you want him to try out in the field? Haha, no you don’t. You have useless shards of incredibly expensive and completely irreparable plastic and steel. He threw one punch and they blasted off of his body in seven different pieces. Sorry xoxoxoxo.

Mirio, before he was Quirkless? Utterly useless to design anything for him. It’d just fall off his body. They spent every day fighting for their lives to keep his pants on and never even had the option of support items past that.

It’s like that with everyone. You invented these sick fucking gloves that let you climb walls like spider-man? Well they’re not compatible with Bakugou’s Sweat Powers, so fuck that I guess. Like. Some heroes could use some gear, but frankly? Most of their day was designing clothes they could wear without accidentally blasting them off their bodies. Iida was a constant, secret battle against chafing. Before Mirio was Quirkless, they were busting out a loom to weave his own hair together. Everyone had some kind of absolutely disqualifying quality of their quirk that made half their prototypes useless.

They were sick of it. The vast majority of people who became heroes had flashy quirks, and the vast majority of flashy quirks are fucking nightmares to work with. It was ruining their creativity.

Don’t you ever want to go nuts? Full throttle? Plus Ultra? They wanted to stop fighting the Seven Hundredth Battle Against Iida Tenya’s Thighs and start inventing the kind of bullshit that is only legal because the government doesn’t even know to ban it yet. It was their calling. Their holy mission. Completely fucking thwarted by the fact that class a literally has a hero whose quirk means she has to be fully naked for max efficacy. What are they supposed to even do there? Nothing! They’re all so bored!

So they all started sort of joking about Tabula Rasa, the Blank Slate, a figure of prophecy who would come with the most perfect, inoffensive Quirk that was compatible with the most batshit fucking insane support tech they could dream up. Tabula Rasa was their Chosen One. One day, their god of steel and fire and turning and terrible, glorious change, It Who Watched What Wonderful Horrors They Wrought In Its Name And Never Blinked, would bring the Blank Slate to them.

And they were going to deck that guy out in the most unethical bullshit imaginable. They were going to reinvent the gun but cooler and more morally ambiguous for that guy.

Anyway Izuku knew about all this shit and said “oh we can exploit the fuck out of that.”

So he told Mirio to meet him outside of the first year support course workshop without providing any other relevant information whatsoever. Izuku just said that there was someone he thought Mirio should meet, brought him inside, and took him straight to Hatsume Mei. He very loudly introduced Mirio as a third year heroics student so that he could be heard over the din.

He’s Quirkless.

Hatsume Mei turned to Mirio and whispered, with tears in her eyes, Tabula Rasa.

The entire workshop fell into a sudden and eerie silence.

Make him Batman, Hatsume Mei, said Izuku, as if any of this shit were normal.

Hatsume Mei cried harder under the lights of the workshop. She looked Mirio up and down, as if to confirm, and again she whispered, Tabula Rasa.

Anyway Mirio had no idea what any of the ensuing chaos was at the time. There was a lot of weeping in a horrible climax of fear and joy and holding each other in trembling embrace. Lots of “the prophecy” and “I didn’t think I’d be alive to see it” and “I have to go find my blueprint for the gun that shoot knives.”

Hahah, kids.

Anyway, at that time, no fucking clue what was happening. But he knew the outcome would be sick as fuck. So he’s just been sort of going with it since then.

Power Loader immediately left the building and took a personal month. Nedzu asked Present Mic to help cover, who left crying after two hours. Aizawa has told him if he ever asks him for anything ever again, he will burn the building to the ground, and so Nedzu did not ask him.

So he just hired a new substitute teacher for every single day that that room needed staffing, close to all of whom quit teaching entirely after.

Anyway, that’s how Mirio affords support gear despite being independent and generally unpopular. Pretty much every time he swings by the main campus he receives a jet pack that also can control birds and maybe sharks too (they’re still beta testing the shark bit) and he says “Cool!” and puts it on his mortal body. Half of the support class is madly in love with him. However, Hatsume Mei, their High Priest, has stated that their god watches them all with its ever-jiggling eyes and has seen the lust in their hearts for the champion it bestowed upon them and rebukes it. She knows it’d tear them all apart if people started shooting their shot.

There’s no real narrative significance to that story. I just thought it would be funny if Mirio had a fuckton of support gear because he was a figure of religious importance to a it’s-a-joke-not-a-joke cult in the support class.

I’m so obsessed with your sw sapphic au, it’s just sooooooooo good!! Anakin having her lightsaber hanging on her carabiner is genius!

I actually got several questions about your au,

1.) Could I write fanfiction based on your version of the sw characters? (I got an obimaul & Anidala fic idea brewing in my head)

2.) Do you have a design for a sapphic Mace Windu?

3.) Do you have any more headcanons for Obimaul & Anidala?? Your mind is amazing!

Awww thank you sm !!! I'm glad to know you like my silly au <3

1) omg yes !!! I didn't invent sapphic aus so either way of course you can, but I'm so honored you chose my designs :D I remember someone writing a Palpatine/Dooku fic once ! That was great :'))

And ofc please feel free to tag me so I'll see it !!!! (Or dm me if you don't plan of posting anything on Tumblr and just on ao3)

2) Frankly no :( He didn't leave that much of an impression on me in the movies outside of "hey that's Samuel L Jackson with a purple lightsaber ! Oh here he goes through the window- sad"

3) headcanon time !!!!

Obimaul -> Obi wan learned comically late that maul spent like 10 years of her life as a giant trash spider djjdkd they don't talk a lot about this time of their lives, the whole "you cut me in half" "you killed my father figure" thing sure isn't ground to have an amicable discussion (and btw this is why I don't want qui-gon jinn to be a good parent figure for Obi wan, if she had a healthier or more positive relationship with him/her I don't think she could have ended up with Maul). But to come back to the giant spider thing ! ............ Obi wan may have felt a twinge of disappointment that Maul decided to go back to regular legs djdkdfk she thought about 'giant spider goth girlfriend ?? *My* girlfriend but giant spider ???', then got so hard she thought she had space Covid- don't get me wrong most of the time she's very glad her partner can like exist indoors or is less miserable than she was at that time or is shorter then her of course...... But giant spider woman.......

Anidala -> Padme, in the very rare occasions where she had free time, was in the habit of anonymously having insane debates on space Wikipedia over the most useless pieces of knowledge. Like, she's not having months long beefs with strangers on her wife's Wikipedia page, that's lame. Or her own, that's illegal and sad. No she's out there drawing first blood for the highly debated date of birth of Blinkus Bopus, aging Alderan actor and singer songwriter.

Anakin knew that if she wanted to make her happy she just had to ask : "hey, read anything interesting lately :) ?" to get twenty messages in a row about like the regulations surrounding the trade of transparisteel with desert planets and how less fair they tended to get in the outer rim compared to the middle rim.

Ironically, Anakin becoming Vader and helping create the empire made the holonet way less free, and space Wikipedia (the easily accessible and free information source) got censored *a lot*. Leading indirectly to the erasure of all traces of her wife's little inconsequential hobby, one of the very rare aspect of her life that didn't have anything to do with her job, the "Padmé Amidala" persona or the fate of the galaxy

Hypothetically what do you think would have happened if the january 6 rioters had gotten to pence or pelosi before they got safe?

At this point, I almost dread answering questions like this anymore because I know the kind of hate mail it will unleash for the next few days, but it's important to keep talking about what happened on January 6, 2021 since so many people are trying to normalize it. That includes many people whose lives were in danger that day, as well as the former President who tried to hold on to power by encouraging his supporters to launch a violent insurrection and is now referring to those who have been brought to justice for attempting a coup as "patriots" and "hostages".

I genuinely believe that there were people in that crowd who would have killed Vice President Pence, Speaker Pelosi, and certain Congressional leaders if they had reached them on January 6th. I think there are people in that crowd who were ready to hold lawmakers hostage. Why else did they have handcuffs and zip ties? To help the Capitol Police maintain order? (Oh yeah...that's right, thanks for reminding me: they violently attacked the police -- some even beat police officers with the "Blue Lives Matter" flags that they brought with them.) Now, I do not think that everybody who was at the Capitol on January 6th -- or even the majority of those who took part in the insurrection -- were willing to go that far. I think a lot of them got swept up in what was happening and went with the flow. That doesn't excuse what they did. The flow that they got swept up in was still a fucking insurrection, and anyone who took part in that deserves to be held accountable. But I think there were certain elements embedded throughout that crowd that were much more organized and prepared to fully execute their plans for a coup after disrupting the certification of the Electoral College votes.

I actually think Vice President Pence was probably in more danger than even Speaker Pelosi or some of the Democratic leaders because Trump was so actively calling him out in the days and hours before the insurrection. I think that's why Pence is so adamant now about not supporting Trump. I mean, think about how disgustingly loyal and subservient Pence was to Trump throughout those four years until basically the first few days of January 2021. But even as other Republican leaders are crumbling and offering their allegiance to Trump again in 2024, Pence is standing by his decision not to endorse or support Trump, and I think that's because he realizes that Trump absolutely almost got him (and his family, who were with him in the Capitol on that day) killed on January 6th. Shit, even Mitch McConnell has folded and endorsed Trump again despite the fact that Trump has spent the last three years not only insulting him but also making racist attacks and questioning McConnell's wife's loyalty to the United States all because Elaine Chao had the audacity to resign from Trump's Cabinet in the wake of the insurrection. Yet Mike Pence -- who spent the better part of four years following Trump around like Paul Heyman follows Roman Reigns...

...THAT same Mike Pence is steadfastly refusing to endorse Trump because he has personal experience about how real of an existential threat Trump is. Some of those people at the Capitol were very serious about following through on their chants to "Hang Mike Pence", and not only does Pence realize that, but he also knows now that Trump -- who refused to take actions that would have helped clear the Capitol more quickly -- said "he deserves it" when hearing about those chants.

That's what is so scary about the insurrection, its aftermath, and the Trump Republican Party's redefinition of what happened that day. It almost worked. They stormed the United States Capitol and invaded both chambers of Congress. They carried Confederate flags into the United States Capitol -- even the fucking Confederate States of America didn't successfully invade Washington, D.C. and plant their flag in the Capitol. They were willing to hurt and probably kill some of America's elected leaders. And the people who helped plan and instigate the events of January 6th have spent the three-plus years since then learning from their mistakes and figuring out how to be successful next time. And guess what? "Next time" is only a few months away.

Feel free to ignore this, but I have to ask since I've been rewatching yugioh 5ds and you're one of the very few blogs I've searched that mentioned Satellite Bros age order. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and if you know other blogs that talk about it.

WHY WOULD I EVER IGNORE THIS ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

*takes deep breath* ok SO

Word of god canon is that the age order is Jack (19), Yusei (18), and Crow (17), at the start of the series.

But while you can make an argument that Yusei would have records, people who knew when he was born, or at least a birth certificate, Jack and Crow are orphans. If Jack is indeed 19, then he would have been roughly a year old when Zero Reverse happened, likely killing his parents, at the very least destroying a massive amount of city infrastructure. You tell me Jack knows his birthday and I press (X) to doubt.

Crow is apparently canonically younger than Yusei, but. His parents also died in Zero Reverse.

This. This straight up does not work.

Also Yusei is shown to be a baby when Zero Reverse occurred and if Crow's parents did indeed die in Zero Reverse when he was under a year old he there is NO WAY he would live much longer than that. That's just. How babies work.

CROW HOGAN HAS TO BE OLDER THAN YUSEI.

I will die on this hill. I watched the show thinking Crow was the middle brother and then learned their apparent canon ages after because he has to be older than Yusei for any of his backstory to make sense. Konami can fight me on this.

NARRATIVELY they are the middle and youngest child. Jack has Past motifs, Crow is Present, and Yusei is Future. Jack and Yusei's whole dynamic is the most oldest sibling vs youngest sibling drama possible.

As for Jack, I always like to think it was his birthday like, a week before Yusei leaves Satellite, because being a Newly Minted Twenty Year Old explains everything about his personality.

i swear to any and all gods out there if this isn't just "oops suddenly it's 80 degrees in the house" and I'm actually getting sick AGAIN, I'm gonna fuckin lose it. I haven't lost out on The Good Food just because I don't celebrate the family holidays anymore and I am NOT losing that privilege to a damn fever of all things!

(yes obviously I'm not going and getting everyone sick if i do have a fever, you know what I meant)

I also have to draft up a "✨hey what the actual fuck is wrong with this therapist you employ✨" message to send to this group's management before I fuck off, since I know for damn sure she definitely has patients that legitimately can't leave the place and thus aren't allowed to voice issues with her bonkers practices. so that'll be ✨fun✨

CONGRATS ON THE GRADUATION!!!! HOLY SHART???

thank you so much! im officially a woman in STEM (sometimes)

[voidcat]

the thought of alpha!narumi and beta!reader just made my brain combust!!! o em gee the potential fic scenarios is unlimited with his alpha need to gloat and readers beta stance at just letting his goading fly over their head (≧▽≦) *slowly starts typing away in a empty word doc*

NO BC IVE BEEN silently yelling abt them for a while… albeit small posts bc im new to the whole omegaverse thing also empty brain syndrome but with reader being beta it opens the door to soooo many things be it angsty emotional hot tense etc etc its Delicious simply

Honestly I think at one point- because Narumi doesn’t care about nor ever thought about reader’s second gender (in his mind you two are already meant to be so why would it change things?..) it’ll probably be reader just giving him a deflating look and trying to break the news to their not-even-boyfriend-but-it-seems-there’s-no-escape-from-this-man “gen, are you aware I’m a beta?” And he’s just slowly blinking because why would this information mean anything to him??? So what you’re hot cute awesome smell good (taste good- from that time he quite literally nibbled on your wrist) so why are you even saying this to him as if it is some bad news

Or alternatively someone (I’m thinking soichiro or just some random bg character) beating you to it and probably using that as leverage to poke fun at Narumi being the weirdest alpha the division has ever seen (bc even without his attraction to a beta I just know he has traits others consider an anomaly) and you being a sad little pathetic beta- oh what a pity, maybe alpha traits brought together with your personality would’ve been a game changer of sorts but instead all you’ll ever be is a deflected version- something inbetween

Like there is something so beautiful about not living up to your expected potentials but being weirdly compatible. What’s worse is because Gen spends as much time as he can in readers office (im thinking smt medical related again, I have Plans trust the process) he is more than used to readers scent; practically inhaling it so even things he should be able to tell with senses, he is tricked more or less to say. He is desperate, needy, whiny, he just wants to see reader unfold or let go once in a while like himself. Probably the day reader is hot and bothered is like a miracle for him djfjfjfj

[scream-mans-friend]

addicted to college... already have two degrees and have only been graduated for 6 months but am going back for more

[bredforloyalty]

people ask me about my makeup . they ask "what is that" and i always understand it like the answer is "liquid eyeliner" but what they mean is is it some new trend or inspired by someone or what is going on

[psychicdelicz]

hi! i hope you don’t mind an ooc questions but i’m curious…. what headcanons do you have for toritsuka?

ooc WOW!!!

HI SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS I LOWKEY HAD TO LOCK IN AND COOK 😭 I DIDNT HAVE ANY HEADCANONS BEFORE I STARTED THIS BLOG SOOOO IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO MAKE SOME 😇

OK SO!

uh. where do i start. um.

Lets start with appearance, perhaps. Uhhh. Im gonna sound crazy for this but like. TO ME, tori is the kinda guy to wear guyliner. Im sorry. IM SORRY! He over heard some chicks talkjng about how hot guys are with guyliner and went "mmmm thats a good idea...". So now he wears it. Its very subtle, but still noticeable. Live, laugh, love men wearing makeup.

Hm. What else? Oh, in my mind, tori is Not Pale like he is in the anime. (LET ME PROJECT MY MELANIN ONTO MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS BRO I LACK REP IM SORRY) i dont really have a set nationality/race for him but like. Hes tan, at the least. If you ever feel like drawing him or something, just know that :3 AND @ ME VRO I LOVE SEEING ART I WILL EXPLODE AND SHAKE YOU AND DO BACKFLIPS 🗣🗣🗣🗣💜💜💜‼️‼️‼️‼️

I also headcanon him to have painted nails. Aiura insists on painting his nails all the time so he either lets her pain them black, purple, or clear. Its usually clear. Also, Aiura will sometimes do his hair, so every so often he'll show up to school with a tiny braid in his hair or a cute hairclip that he forgot to take out.

uhhhhh thats really all the appearance hcs i gyatt.... UHHHHH lets talk about the random things ive decided to hc :] i will not elaborate

Hes immune to bear spray

He uses 2 in 1

He is gynesexual

he burns incense for literally no reason

He prefers salty or savory food over sweets

Hes prolly got an undiagnosed mood disorder idfk it makes sense to me AND THATS ALL THE MATTERS 😇

Probably adhd too ngl

His headband is always greasy no matter how many times he washes it

He talks to himself a lot. Hes spent so much time talking to ghosts that he'll just start talking even if no ones listening

He sometimes listens to ayesha erotica because of aiura

I think that all :D if yall got any funny hcs you want me to see or MAYBE make canon, SEND EM OVER 🗣🗣 🗣 i love stealing peoples hcs 😈🙏 /hj

Holy YAP 😭 if youve read this far thats impressive, have a rose! 🥀

Ok im done now :3 BYEEEEE

[bittsandpieces]

Idk how much you make where you work but it might be worth giving Walgreens a look. They start at $15/hr for entry level and $17 for leadership. (At least here in NC. Your state may be higher depending on state laws and state minimum wage. And they honor meal breaks and rest periods.

this is very sweet! however i currently make $21 as my starting wage at this job and will probably get a raise within a year, since I have significant prior experience in my field and am actively taking a certification course right now. also we don't have a walgreens here

[magpod-confessions]

Jurgen Leitner should be spelled Jürgen. You can't convince me otherwise.

Also, both Jürgen (which is the real spelling, google it, i'm right) and Leitner are german names. Why tf is that guy norvegian?? When he has a full on german name??

life really does get 100x better after finishing school

[lettucefather]

I was talking to a friend about how my biggest relief after changing my name was to know that, finally, legally, no matter what, I would be buried with my name on the stone. His eyes watered and he told me he hoped that, someday, I got to live in a place where dying wasn't my first worry. And idk man. I hadn't stopped to think that most people don't continuously worry about dying or getting killed, let alone worrying that their obituary will continue to reflect the hatred and injustice that killed them in the first place.
