I've been toying with my bakudeku get together fic using the final canon, but I had this tiny scene stuck in my head, that doesn’t really fit in with the tone I have now in the fic I'm planning, so here, I'm releasing it into the world:

As they kissed, Kacchan said against his lips. "I didn’t do it for this, okay?" When Izuku only hummed in question, Kacchan insisted. "It wasn’t to get this, okay? I did it for you, only you."

He tried to pull away, but Izuku clung to him. "Kacchan?" He refused to let go of him, not when he had him right where he had wanted him for years.

Kacchan grinned down at him, boyish and happy. That sight alone took most of his breath away, and the rest was stolen when Kacchan kissed him again, quickly but firmly.

"Call me tomorrow after your meeting with All Might, alright?"

Izuku frowned. "Can't you stay?"

"Tomorrow, okay?" Kacchan hugged him hard. "Look for me tomorrow, after... well, after."

Izuku watched him retreat to the door with a heavy heart, before the realization struck him.

"Kacchan, wait," he said. "What did you mean?" Izuku asked. "When you said you didn't do it to get this. Us." Izuku tilted his head to the side. "What did you do?"

Kacchan smiled his open smile, the one that wrinkled the corner of his eyes and lit up his entire face.

"Look for me tomorrow," he said, and then left.

The League of Villains, out on a mission, walking up to a lavish penthouse.

Spinner: “This is where we’re staying?!”

Tomura: “For a few days.”

Spinner: “A bit of an overkill, don’t you think?”

Mr. Compress: “This must have cost a fortune to rent.”

Tomura: “Actually, it was pretty cheap.”

Toga: “How—“

Tomura, decaying the door and walking in.

Toga: “Oh.”

Dabi: “I have keys, you know.”

Twice, running inside: “DIBS ON THE JACUZZI TUB!”

—

Spinner: “How’d you find this place, anyway?”

Tomura: “Dabi found it.”

Mr. Compress: “Is that so? How’d you come across it?”

Dabi: “I have my ways.”

Hawks, somewhere patting his pockets: “… where the hell are my keys?”

i feel like dabi & hawks having conversations about their dysfunctional families and noticing the parallels i.e. the morbid irony of it all could help hawks in particular with his lack of self worth. like it doesn't matter whether you were "wanted" or "unwanted" child, that alone is meaningless & your parents can fail you no matter whether they wanted you or not and dabi is a great example of that, so yeah an honest conversation about their messed up families could maybe help hawks to stop overthinking his birth and what he has to do to make up for it

[ink-blooded]

Hawks: I have to rizz up your father. This is my chance.

Shoto, softly: Don’t

Hawks, on the ground: Please please please please

Enji: Uh

Shoto, on the phone with Dabi: I changed my mind, I want to become a villain.

Dabi: How did you get this number???

THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

[ink-blooded]

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

[ink-blooded]

How do we feel about night club singer Izuku? This muscled ass man crooning into the mic at a speakeasy, and Katsuki watching him, nursing a drink at the back? I like an Izuku whose smile spells trouble.

[ink-blooded]

Odd: We have a problem.

Ulrich: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

[ink-blooded]

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

独立独歩 (doku-ritsu-dop-po) "To be independent and do things one's own way"

The kanji:

独 (1st and 3rd kanji) = independence

立 = standing

歩 = walking

This phrases refers to following the path you believe in on your own, without relying on others.

The second kanji means "standing", so perhaps a more elegant English translation is "standing on one's own two feet".

独立独歩 is a special kind of Japaneses idiom known as a 四字熟語 (よじじゅくご、yo-ji-juku-go), or 4-character idiom. As the name suggests, these are idiomatic phrases made of 4 kanji characters.

They often contain a small life lesson or moral message, similar to English sayings such as “you reap what you sow” and “the early bird gets the worm”.

Okay, you know what? After reading this post, I jokingly said we should all just make a pact to reblog it five times a day forever. So I'm gonna do this louder for the people in the back:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

AO3 IS RUN BY FANS (VOLUNTEERS, NO LESS)

AO3 IS PART OF THE NON-PROFIT, ORGANIZATION FOR TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS

AO3 IS NOT OWNED BY ANY COMPANIES AND DOES NOT EARN REVENUE

AO3 OPERATES ON DONATIONS FROM FANS

again:

AO3 WAS CREATED BY FANS, FOR FANS

Derek: If I die, would you remarry? Stiles: If you die, I'm putting the romance in necromancy and bringing you back. Derek: Are you really performing dark rituals to keep me alive? Stiles: I said "I do" through sickness and in health, and I meant that as a threat.

Hawks: If you want my advice-

Tokoyami: No offense but you’re the last person I want relationship advice from. You tried to kill your significant other. Multiple times.

Hawks: First off, that was before we started dating. Secondly, they’ve also tried to kill me.

Dabi: It’s true. It was mutually attempted murder.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to

again

[ink-blooded]

Hawks: Dude, why do you smell like blood all the time

Hawks, to himself: It must be because he's a villain who is evil for nefarious reasons

Dabi, who's always got like four wounds cause of his staples and an unfortunate occupation that requires him to jump out of cars: what are you, a cop?

Hawks: KINDA???

[ink-blooded]

This is the closest dabihawks will ever get to canon and i'm okay with that
