#unplugging the WiFi router

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

The Battle of Yokohama tags I’m going fucking feral over this. Anything more I would DIE FOR.

Was Aizawa specifically commandeered for AFO, and not allowed to leave? Or did he stay on HSPC’s orders? I image he was probably frothing at the mouth to go to his class, but he didn’t get there until it was over. Did he just have that much faith in them?

Aizawa ended up being one of the first responders to the Tartarus Prison Break, before they knew how bad it was, by absolute happenstance. Spotlight heroes were really leaning on underground heroes without the sidekicks and he drew the short straw as to who had to go deal with Endeavor this time. He happened to be there right when the first reports of something going on at Tartarus broke, and he was on scene before Endeavor made the call that everyone would respond to AfO instead of Yokohama. He didn’t agree with the call, and he wouldn’t have obeyed it had he not already like. Been there. Entrenched in the fight.

By the time news reached them that class 2-A had shown up to defend Yokohama, several hours had passed, and the fight against AfO had gone so far down hill that he couldn’t easily leave. Like, he was physically entrenched so deep in the battlefield that it would have been hard to make it out of it. And his Quirk had been invaluable in limiting the damages of the fight, and if he left all at once, it would be at the cost of the lives right in front of him. And then it’d likely take him hours to make it to Yokohama with how the streets were at the time, and it wouldn’t have made any difference by that point.

He decided he trusted his kids. They were capable, and smart, and only had a few hours to live anyway on account of he’d be killing them come daybreak. And he’d rush to them the first second that he could. He spent the rest of that night boiling in his own anxiety.

i need to take a break from tumblr

[flowery-mess]

Hi, it’s me again with another nerd boy thought because I love him 😭

What if you live with nerd Noah? He’s your to-go guy when anything breaks or glitches in the house. And I mean anything.

He’s chilling on the couch, soft music in the background blending with the rapid tapping of the buttons on his controller as he’s fully absorbed in the game he’s playing. Utter bliss.. Until—

“Noowaaaah…”, your voice echos from down the hall in that familiar drawn-out whine.

He pauses the game right away, already chuckling. He sets the controller down with a sigh, one that holds exactly zero annoyance and gets up. He walks to the bedroom where you’ve cozied up under the blanket, lights dimmed, your laptop on the bed next to you, a buffering wheel on the screen as it sits frozen mid-scene on the show you’re watching. He leans against the doorframe, with an amused smile, his arms crossed as you look at him with a desperate frown.

“The WiFi is DEAD! I was just about to find out if they kissed and it froze. I need to know if they kissed, Noah.”

He can’t hold his chuckle as he hears your whiney overdramatic pleas, your head falling back on the pillow in an exaggerated attempt to show him how important this is to you.

“Did you try—“

“Turning it off and on again?”, you interrupt him, knowing exactly what he’s gonna say, having heard him ask that same question countless times at work, “Yes, I did. I refreshed it, turned the WiFi off and on, even tried threatening it. And nothing!”

“Did you unplug it?”

Pause.

You were too cosy in bed to get up and unplug it. He knew that. He leans over kissing the top of your head before he crouches next to the wall outlet unplugging the router and plugging it back in. And in a few seconds, lo and behold, the WiFi is working again.

“My hero!”, you clap your hands excitedly and that never fails to make him feel like the most important person in the world. And no matter how many times you’ve said that before he’s still blushing and smiling like the first time. You tug at his sleeve looking up at him with pleading eyes, and he knows what you want without you even having to say it. He lifts the blanket getting into bed, opens his arms for you so you can snuggle up against him while he takes the laptop onto his lap and presses play. He also kinda wants to know if they kissed or not.

Hi, so you just described what would it look like if I lived with nerd Noah🤓

He just sat down and let out a big sigh “Finally!” after long day of work, finally he has some time for himself.

Well, for like 10 seconds. Because it was busy day at work for everyone and you’re maybe still not really used to living together, so you both go and do your own thing separately to gain energy to spend the evening together doing something fun.

You just laid down and wanted to finish the episode from the previous night, to finally find out if they’ll kiss, but the wifi connection is not working.

You wait a few seconds to hear if Noah says something or if he gets up to fix it, but it seems like his game is working just fine.

So you yell “Nowaaah” with the last energy you have in you, knowing he will come with a smile on his face, because he always does when you call him Nowah. He won’t admit it, but he’s always smiling and blushing, he can’t hide it.

He leans against the doorframe (a/n: hot) and there it is, the smile on his face. And of course he’s gonna ask you if you turned it on and off (a/n2: why do they always ask that?).

When he sees your pout and falling back into your pillow he thinks about how he managed to pull someone like you. You’re in HIS bed, in HIS hoodie, asking HIM for help and you’re gonna fall asleep next to HIM.

He definitely laughs at “even tried threatening it”, because he caught you many times talking to any device with threats like “I’m gonna throw you out of the window if you don’t start working right now!” and he finds it adorable.

Pause - may I add that the pause included the most innocent smile and little head shake “no” under the blanket.

He unplugs it, waits a few seconds and then plugs it again, he waits for the lights to stop blinking and turn to green. After they do your show starts again and he can hear your little clapping you always give him when he fixes something. To him it’s always an easy fix, so he finds your reaction funny.

You tug at his sleeve and give him the pout and puppy eyes that always work, always.

You cuddle into his side and feel butterflies in your stomach, because he loves to play video games with his friends every night, so every time he does something with you instead, even if it’s watching your favorite show, you feel them in your stomach.

Either way if they kiss or don’t, you hold your breath and then yell “I knew it!”

And then Noah realises that he hasn’t watched a few episodes with you so he asks you what did he miss. You sit up, because it’s serious business, and tell him about the storyline from what he saw last. He doesn’t really care, but he loves it when you talk about your favorite things, he likes how you talk passionately about it, tell him about every detail he missed, how you add your little thoughts on the scenario and how in the end you ask him for his opinion.

He doesn’t really realise it, but he loves it the same way you love when he’s talking about his things. You both listen to the other one and watch them with hearts in your eyes. The other one always thinks they’re being annoying and talking too much, completely oblivious that the other one would listen forever

clementine WOULD NOT like the fact i stayed up till 5 last night wanking it❌ she’d end my gooner habits in an instant

(can i be smilesaurus anon)

By 1am she'd straight up unplug the wifi router and snatch your phone until morning or you needed it for vital tasks that hopefully exclude staying up an hour before dawn cranking one out.

"While sexual pleasure is completely natural and beneficial for some humans in certain cases, what you are doing is far from healthy. Please refrain from this behavior in the future or I will be forced to apply extreme measures to assure you get your well needed eight hours of sleep."

espioooooooo how are you feeliingggg

*He's sitting on the bottom bunk of Silver's bunk bed, watching as Silver tries to get the TV to work. His tail is wrapped around his own ankle. He's nervous. He responds without looking at you* When Silver held me... And when he put his arm around me... I felt small. Not in a bad way.. More like... It was nice to feel protected. That being said, I am currently struggling to calm my nervous system.

*Tails walks into the workshop, humming to himself as he unplugs the wifi router, waits ten seconds, then plugs it back in and leaves the workshop again. A few seconds later, the movie stops lagging*

I got it! *Silver turns around, looking proud of himself* See? It was that thing that Tails uses to put his devices together... Uh ......... *He thinks* ... HDMI! Yeah, I think that's what it was. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and now it works!

Heh.. Good job. This kind of technology must seem archaic to you.

Yeah, this stuff is ancient to me, hehe! Nothing like what we have 200 years from now. But I figured it out! *He giggles and goes back to Espio's side, sitting back down next to him, seemingly closer than last time* I saved you from missing the end of the movie, hehe..~

*Espio smiles, shaking his head as he settles back into Silver's shoulder* My hero.

on the other hand.. oh to be a machine.

wish i could just scurry under a few rocks near a river or something and stay there resting and comfortable

Through the Glass - Part 4

———

She waves at me now.

Not every day. But sometimes. When she comes back from class or work — messenger bag sliding off her shoulder, hair up in a claw clip, lips slightly parted from the effort of carrying too much at once — she pauses at the top of the stairs, glances across the way, and if I’m in the window?

She smiles.

Lifts her fingers.

Waves.

That’s all it takes to ruin me for the rest of the day.

It started with a knock. A flashlight. An introduction.

Now I know her name. Her laugh. The sound she makes when she drops her keys. I know she keeps a purple hair tie on her right wrist and calls her cat “weird little guy” like he understands.

I know the guy she keeps texting.

Nathan.

The name alone feels sour in my mouth.

He’s not her boyfriend — not technically. I’m sure she’s told herself that. But she texts him when she’s bored. She laughs when he calls. She opens the door for him even when he shows up two hours late and smells like cheap weed and someone else’s perfume.

I watched him touch her lower back in the hallway two nights ago. Too casually. Too possessively. Like he thought he could.

He can’t.

He won’t.

He doesn’t see her. Not the way I do. Not the way I have.

Through the glass, I see everything.

The way she gets quiet when she’s tired. How she eats cold takeout straight from the container on the couch in an old hoodie and mismatched socks. The way she bites her pen when she’s thinking, and curls into a ball when she’s overwhelmed.

I’ve started to… help. Subtly.

Someone had to.

I unplugged the downstairs building router for twenty minutes so she’d be forced to knock again — and she did, flustered, cheeks pink, asking if my WiFi worked and if she could borrow it “just for a sec.” She sat cross-legged on my floor like she’d done it a hundred times before. I made her tea.

Yesterday, I “accidentally” bumped into her outside the coffee shop on Sixth. She looked surprised, said “what are the odds?” and smiled like she didn’t already live across from me. We walked side by side for three blocks. I told her I’d just finished running errands. I didn’t tell her I knew exactly where she’d be.

Tonight, Nathan’s car is parked outside again.

He’s pacing in front of her building. Yelling into his phone. When she opens the door, he pushes in past her. I see her flinch.

She doesn’t deserve that.

She deserves peace. Softness. Someone who worships her — quietly. Daily. Without needing to be told how.

I reach for my jacket.

Nathan won’t be a problem much longer.

She’ll be safer. Happier. And maybe, next time, when she waves at me through the glass…

She won’t look away.

Just want to thank you for all of this glorious meta! It's kinda crazy to read your pics and go, well this is an EXPERIENCE, and then come to your tumblr and see all those tiny little things that haven't really been addressed yet or you've wondered about? Well, no, actually the author has an extremely detailed world building for why it's like this, they simply have the restraint to not put it in their fic! Absolutely wild.

Like, I was kind of wondering reading pez WHY izuku and 1-a was so famous. And why aizawa is so tired. Like, surely it can't just be Main Character Gravitational Pull in action?? But no, I unknowingly triggered the authors trap card—actually having fully detailed world building that hasn't been inserted into your fic yet, because it hasn't been relevant or necessary. I feel like I tripped on a rock and discovered a gold vein.

(this applies to nhthcth too. I thought Jon claimed desks, badgered people to quit, and got a virus email address out of pettiness, and also the faint hope of saving a person maybe. And probably yes to all of that, but also he's been actively attempting to figure out that dumb contract.)

All this to say, thanks for all this meaty meta! Your readers are eating good.

I’m this close to just saying “fuck it”’and writing the Battle of Yokohama because I love the backstory that much. It’s just filled with so many good moments. I’m trying to resist because if I write that backstory I’m gonna feel compelled to write the rest of them. I have one for Mirio getting his license (that I actually am the most likely to write out of all of them) and one explaining why Dabi left the League that I simply do not have time to write. But maybe the Yokohama and Mirio ones. I’m just eternally succumbing to the desire to make my fics series and I need to pump the breaks on it. Pez was supposed to be the story that I could freely cram in backstory like an overstuffed turkey but even I can’t bring myself to do it if it’s 1) too big of a divergence/not relevant to what’s going on or 2) not the right POV to bring out the information through.

There are some moments from the Battle of Yokohama that have already come out (Shinsou talking about how he watched Izuku bite a man’s ear off once? Battle of Yokohama. And obviously the times where it was explicitly referenced in a post are about that fight) or will come out in pez, so I haven’t talked about them on tumblr, but there’s so many fantastic moments that just wouldn’t be right to present in the fic. I’m so tempted. It’s such a fun story.

But yeah. I wanted the overwhelming attention on Izuku & Co. because I wanted Tiny Izuku to just be. Crushed by the sheer size of him when he found out what happened. Izuku is one of the most famous and beloved people out there, and he’s just a deku. How could he expect anyone to give a shit about this guy killing him? Everyone already wants him dead so he’ll stop being a burden—this guy made his death matter.

But I needed a reason for them to be as stupidly famous as they are. So I decided class 2a just had like. The most ridiculous two weeks of their life in their second year. Part of the reason why they’re not super aware of what made them famous was that so much goddamn stuff happened in that two week span. There’s a lot to pick from. The Sports Festival. Bakugou getting his first meme and also a medically induced coma. Suddenly everyone wants to fight Izuku about Mirio even more now and he is always down to fight for his boy. Oh fuck oh fuck time to have like ninety near death experiences and an extended hospitalization. Huh why is Mr. Aizawa unplugging the WiFi router and confiscating the tv. It’s probably nothing.

And Jon. Oh I love him. He’s just a rat in an electrified maze trying to figure out why all the doors are zapping him. He’s so tragic to me.

Thank you for your kind words!! I really appreciate you!
