#ANYWAY. MAIN TAG TIME SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE IN TAGS (not sorry)

[seagreenstardust]

I’m gonna say something that’s probably not going to be well received in certain circles so let me start by saying this: I believe, with only a few rare exceptions, that you should be able to ship whatever speaks to you the most. And just because I don’t ship something doesn’t mean it’s wrong for anyone else to ship it, and the same for things I do ship, no one else has to ship it too. Who you do or don’t ship will never be a reason I pass judgment on you, ever. Live your best life.

That being said, I want to talk about Horikoshi and straight ships.

(And bakudeku.)

Here’s the thing: Hori has written straight ships into MHA and he’s done it so masterfully that it’s made me ship them without even realizing it. I don’t know if we can call them canon because as far as I know no ship is actually canon yet, but what is canon is the care Hori put into building these relationships.

Kirimina. Hori wrote in a backstory that parallels bkdk that I just adore. There is something about Kiri looking up to Mina and being so inspired by her bravery that it shapes the hero he becomes that is such good content. They’ve had multiple mid-battle moments of protecting and helping each other. I ship Kirimina so hard because of the canon Hori gave us.

I am a low key Denki/Hitoshi shipper but season six kinda hit me in the face with whatever we’re calling Kyouka/Denki these days and now I guess I’m a multi-shipper???? That is how hard Hori hit me with the Kyouka/Denki feels. And he did it the same way as Kirimina, because we have years of content of Kyouka teasing Denki mercilessly, plus the cultural festival band, so when they’re separated in Season 6 and Denki has this intense moment of realization that she’s who he needs to be brave for and it actually works??? I’m a goner.

Heck, I ship todomomo too you guys though I can’t blame Hori for that one, that’s just me being me. The point is that I ship it because the characters Hori gave me struck a chord inside.

But there is one straight ship Hori never once made me ship.

Every time izu*cha showed up I just kinda endured it? It just wasn’t for me. I didn’t see two kids with chemistry, I saw two kids who didn’t know who they were or what they wanted fumbling their way through a will they/won’t they without either of them seeming all that invested in it.

In six seasons and nearly 400 chapters and multiple times revisiting the story I have never once felt any inclination to ship izu*cha

Hori can write straight ships. Hori made me ship his secondary straight ships nearly effortlessly. So if izu*cha was meant to be canon why have I never once felt the chemistry?

You know who has the chemistry? Bakudeku. But here’s the thing: I wasn’t thinking about Katsuki as a possible love interest for Izuku the first time I watched the entire story. I honestly wasn’t paying much attention to him at all, he was everything I didn’t like on the surface so I more or less ignored him despite Izuku holding onto him for dear life. Katsuki never once colored my opinion of izu*cha, they did that all on their own.

It wasn’t until after my first watch through, when I was hungry for more and trolling around tumblr, that I realized people shipped Katsuki and Izuku and it was literally like something out of alignment popped into place in my head.

Oh. Duh. That’s the ship.

I went from zero to a million in a handful of seconds because the chemistry was there, the backstory was there, and boy are Izuku and Katsuki loud about how obsessed they are with each other. Just like Kirimina, just like Denki and Kyouka, Hori planted the seeds throughout the entire series so that when it was brought to my attention everything about the narrative and character development supported it.

And I have to take a moment to explain my dislike of Katsuki at first: I honestly fell for the surface-level interpretation of his character and then kinda wrote him off without much more thought. Which is insane to think about because you can’t really understand MHA without Katsuki, he is so integral to the story as a whole that any version of it without him is skewed so far out of alignment that it’s not even the same story anymore. But I just saw angry boy who yells for no reason and put Katsuki in a box and left it at that.

It wasn’t until I was willing to give his character a second look that I started understanding him, and more importantly, his relationship with Izuku. And it helped that when bkdk was presented to me as a ship that my brain understood immediately why it worked. The canon source material supports bkdk at every possible moment.

I really don’t think it does the same for izu*cha.

// actually- using this bit where Paris is knocked out to slide in for a moment. This blog is coming up on 200 followers soon (which- Holy shit, I still can't process that completely. Thank you??? I never expected this blog to get this big in the first place.)

...But onto the main point.

I've had this idea in my head of a larger scale event- illustrated, different universe, all that jazz, since late October or so. It'd expand on a lot of personal lore, and a shared story between the mod behind @tinkatinktrain that's been in the works for years now.

Wrote out a big long phone call rant to have with my mother later because as much as I hate it she is my closest irl spiritual confidant 👍 here’s hoping her response to ‘hey I’ve been spiritually depressed and disconnected for like 8 months and for some reason these last two weeks advocating for Palestine has me feeling alive and burning with divine passion and love in a way I’ve never felt before in my life’ isn’t like. ‘Talk to your psyche abt your meds hun’

Bro I literally obsessed with the casino quartet now plssssss tell us more

omg . actually a lot of my Thoughts about them r au based but ^_^ i think while i am here i might as well share that they're named that is bc the idea of all of them working in a casino 2gether rlly caught on!! (this was mostly brought up by thegalacticbucket and things just sorta snowballed from there .)

anyways the fun dynamic between them is that red's a dealer + deals with the finances with clown, clowns the owner of the casino and manages the casino, branzy is there as eye-candy branzy is the shill aka he gets the games rigged for him so people r more inclined to gamble more bc he's winning a lot + he encourages them, and ash is the bartender! he has arm garters and makes drinks for all of them after hours

so dats the fun history lesson 2 why the 2 fics of them atm have 2 do w/ them working at a casino and chilling w each other and why they're called casino quartet ^_^ hope u enjoyed the Lore

[lolliichop]

i will attempt to write a few info about the characters and perhaps make rules and pinned better than what they are now, and a taglist wouldn't hurt ( even if i'm starting to be very sleepy, damn it... ), but in the meantime, behold.

i made a few icons.

[frostbite-the-bat]

cadence practice stuff. i cant draw the penguins at all and im not confident drawing any of my other favorites other than cadance bc i can get more self indulgent and fun with her so maybe that can help me get used to this more

i have a drawing planned for her bc she fits my art style the best also fuck yuou i gave her scene hair extensions in the end

Hate that I already have so many projects and so little time >:(

I want to do a murder mystery themed tarot deck, bc I love tarot and love murder mysteries. And I have SO MANY associations with various mysteries/elements, motifs, or characters from said mysteries that you could give me ANY theme and I'd have something it reminds me of from one of those shows/books/etc.

Like it would be 90% an extended major arcana, and not follow the traditional tarot structure well, technically making them oracle cards. But I don't like how most oracle cards look with the meaning written out in one little sentence at the base or on the back, I'd prefer the meanings to 1. be more complex, interpretable, and LESS universally applicable 2. be in a separate guidebook or be completely left up to personal interpretation. Plus, I might follow the traditional tarot structure a bit if I find enough parallels. All the decks I have are tarot decks not oracle cards, bc I just find the general aesthetic + the short, universally applicable meanings appalling (for my own use, no judgement on people who like them). Like it feels like fortune cookies, no matter what's happening in your life you could say the fortune fits, and I, personally, hate that. I wish someone would make oracle cards that are more nuanced, detailed, complex, and interpretable. So anyways, I want to.

But I have absolutely no time for that so it's going to end up on my infinitely long project waitlist. Probably right after the paper project, which could work out well if I actually got to them, since I could make the cards on the fancy paper. I'd make a paper that is specifically perfect for cards, and possibly try to work in some intent, enchant it, or mix in herbs that correspond with divination or psychic ability. It'd be pretty cool :)

@enshijou said : “ are you looking forward to the new year ? ” ( have to get the emotions going as always ! 🥺 )

WINTER / SEASONAL STARTERS. ( still accepting ! )

With hands buried deep within pockets of her coat to prevent them from atleast being frozen ( it doesn't help ), she walked alongside Ryoji through the snow tapestry of Shibuya. Despite the chilling cold, the streets were still packed — majority of them were probably doing Christmas shopping ; that was Ann' guess, at least.

Taking refuge from the cold within one of the numerous cafés that were hidden within the side - streets that were somewhat close to the bustling center of the city, a relieved and content sigh escaped the blonde's lips as soon as she sat down.

“ Ugh. As much as I love seeing the Christmas lights and the winter vibes, I really could do without feeling my fingers might fall off from the cold. ”

Regardless of her complaint, as soon as she's settled with coat resting along the back-rest of her chair ; chin rested upon the palm of her hands, smile upon lips as eyes remained focused upon her companion.

“ I'm happy to finally hang out with you again, Ryoji ! It's been so long ..”

They had a lot of catching up to do ; the occasional text messages and phone calls weren't anything compared to actual meeting up and chatting with one another. Soon having placed their orders and having been served, hands eagerly wrapped around her cup of hot cocoa to warm up, never ceasing to chat and catching up with the other.

“ Are you looking forward to the new year ? ” It was a question that made Ann go silent, just for a minute, pondering about her reply. But once again, a bright smile curled upon her lips.

“ I am. Remember how I told you how awful Shujin was at first ? I actually managed to make other friends, aside from Shiho. And.. I honestly feel like I belong for the first time, in the group we have going on. I'm pretty sure we seem like a group of outcasts to everyone .. but, it's my group of outcasts, you know ? They already feel like home to me, honestly. And it makes me eager for the new year, together with them. ”

For a moment, Ann remained silent, before soon adding, with bright smile ever present : “ Oh ! That doesn't mean your friendship isn't something I've been treasuring though. You know how much I've always adored your friendship. I'm looking forward to us spending more time together, starting now ! ”

Honestly if you're gonna misuse tags I'm just blocking on site now I done even care. If you want more reach use tag variants, not unrelated tags, bc chances are the people in those tags you're using aren't going to reblog your shit either way if it has nothing to do with their interests

[sugarsweets9987]

If you like Lear fan content, you should look at the blog ask-characters. They have asks open for Lear and have done a lot of posts for him!

Maybe I should! It'll definitely be a fun scroll to check out what they've posted prior! Thank you for making me aware of this blog :)

can we see all your sets

So, unfortunately, I don't have but one set built. That one set is Cole's Dragon Cruiser, along with its characters. (4 mini-figs total)

I have, however, many sets and booklets form the past. I have characters and mixed up parts, and it's honestly saddening how many can't be completed due to the amount of Legos missing over the years.

But, let's go by set by set that I KNOW we have by release order (Fandom Wiki)

-Epic Dragon Battle (season 2)

-Kai's Fire Mech (season 2)

-Cole's Earth Digger (season 2)

-The Golden Dragon (season 2)

-Kai Fighter (season 3)

-Sky Shark (season 6)

-The Vermillion Attack (season 7)

-Desert Lightning (season 7)

-Vermillion Invader (season 7)

-Cole's Dragon Cruiser (season 15)

It's honestly really upsetting that I'm not able to build a lot of these from missing pieces. I believe there is another box somewhere of legos that got misplaced, but.. Yeah, this is all I have salvaged from every single bit of lego.

As a note: I have the stickered and special printed lego pieces for a lot of these, as well as all of the dragon heads (excluding one jaw from the quad dragon)

ANOTHER NOTE: Nya did NOT come from a set, she came from my character encyclopedia (pictured below with Nya in place), that unfortunately now has a rip on one of the pages (by accident from my niece, no blame on her, just still upset by this because it's a brand new book)
