Flying W - Wonder Woman.

The Winnebago RV used is from 1972 - The logo is called "Flying W" (and in 1986 the Winnebago RV industry established the Flying W program in to recognize select dealers for service excellence and superior customer satisfaction.)

I don't know about you but the version of this one in particular reminds me a bit of ...

They even shot her standing there with this logo in her back. And it's a "Flying W" like "If you want to stop One you will need to fly" again making a connection between One and Max or better: Max is One. One of the good Ones since there are only three Ones in the show: 00I and 0II.

Theres no doubt a strong connection towards Wonder Woman been made in the show.

That's issue 326 > 3+2+6=11.

The first issue of The Legend of Wonder Woman (the comic Lucas is reading to Max in the script if I recall correctly) was released in May 1986. Weird, did they want to push Will's birthday to May (Birthday gate) allegedly because it better fits the lip movement? - I doubt that this is an oversight and they didn't use it because it was released much later but another clue left in the script that March and May are interchangeable and there are potential timeline shenanigans in the show.

And since the Duffers like Upside-downs/inversions, just have some fun and invert Max's initials ... Or just the Wonder Woman logo.

And note that Mike offers El some M&Ms (because he didn't get his break...I mean KitKat) while Max is right there in the background. So MM=Max Mayfield. And certain fonts especially in the Wonder Woman logo once inverted give us different initials.

I guess reflections/Upside-downs/inversions/mirrors are all just a coincidence. There's nothing like this in the show at all. There's nothing to see here, folks! Or is there? That mirror shots are btw like a Stranger Things version of the Sherlock mirror.

If Henry's shadow is Vecna(Edward?), then Max's mirror is...El. The walkie talkie isn't very subtle. Seriously, I wouldn't do/talk about this if there weren't inversions and mirrors etc in show and it's not even very subtle. Many parallels people talk about are actually mirrors. (Even literal mirrors like the one 00I gets thrown through which then switches the alignment of the shards to give us a mirror of him and the "Zoomer"-El that fights back.) It was the first thing that I noticed and that's what started this.

Oh, and shall we guess who's in room 110? (Just saw it, so take it with a grain of salt but this looks like Maya behind the window.)

Mirrors: 011/110

So, MM=WW because as pointed out in the comic reading scene Wonder Woman has another name, alias or "alter ego": Princess Diana. Like Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Clark Kent is Superman etc etc

All you need is simple math. 5'6 / 5 6 =??

Nah, just imagining things.

................................................................................

I do have an idea what the blue hair tie and yellow watch do resemble and mean as an allegory that totally fits the narrative. And yes, it's Wonder Woman linked too.

Had a post some time ago about the Lasso of Truth - and remember the poster for "Dear Billy"? It says "No more lies".

That Unbreakable is an inspo is obvious (and official) and David Dunn's weakness is water. (You know the whole rabies/fear of water thing which I likely will address in another post.) Nonetheless, the superhero coding is there.

[ask-will-and-nico]

"Hades, you can do the shadow-travel thing, right? Why don't we just-" "Don't you think I've tried!? The god of the north is apparently a lot more clever than he lets on. There are no shadows in his palace, the ice reflects the light and illuminates every corner. We need a different route. Now, Will, gather up whatever friends you have. We need all the help we can get."

Will's hands were shaking, his whole body buzzing with anxiety as he found the three people he trusted most. Leo, who could melt away the walls, Lou-Ellen, who had all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, and of course, Cecil. As a child of Hermes, he had an acute sense of direction, like a pigeon. He could find the palace much faster than Will.

Chiron didn't bother to do the whole 'three kids, one quest' thing, after all, this was an emergency... And because, if Hades felt he wasn't treating the situation seriously, his lower half could easily turn into hellhound kibble. So, he just sent the four kids, and one god, on their way.

Will grabbed his backpack, stuffing as much medical supplies as he could in it. He wasn’t sure what he would need, besides blankets and warmers. No doubt Nico had hypothermia, but probably injuries too. Nectar, ambrosia, KitKats…those were Nico’s favorite. He didn’t know what else they might need. Bandage rolls, drachmas, what else? He tried to get his adrenaline under control. It wasn’t going to help if he wore himself out before they even made it to Nico. Cecil and Lou Ellen didn’t comment, they were busy packing their own bags. Leo seemed unsure what to do with himself, snapping the bands on his suspenders. The sound was making Will feel even more nervous, but he didn’t comment. He swung by his own cabin to tell his siblings he was leaving, just in case. He grabbed an extra hoodie for Nico, when they found him, and Will knew they’d already wasted too much time. There was no hesitating now.

The Castigliers after finding out that the joestrs were innocent and it was dio all a long: 👁👄👁.

Hahaha ok I needed to think so much about this AU and discuss it because it would really be between a civil war and a infinity war 😂 sorry for taking so long!

(I remember saving this to the app Family tree! thank you so much KitKat!)

Sorry for the mess but here the castiglier family is canonically explained more or less. obviously I will do it more attached to how family trees are explained in jojo but I did this so as not to lose track with the names of the characters, whose children are among other things.

I get the impression that the Castigliers cousins ​​would be quite stubborn in understanding the true situation with DIO and the Joestars. they are faithfully blinded by the idea that Joseph Joestar been the cause of the family breakdown by taking Francesca away. Furthermore, let's start with the fact that from the beginning in this AU the family was stronger, Risotto did not take the sole responsibility of avenging Romano's death (1988, that is, the year before Francesca was also announced as dead / missing ) but patiently hoped that everyone could get revenge in the fairest way possible.

The thirst for revenge began at an early age for the Castigliers, Risotto was the oldest and was 18 years old. They come from a more feared family in Italy and they did not leave the last name behind for nothing. With the fall of Romano, Castiglier's legacy began to avenge the damage they have been done, from looking for culprits who have separated his family to joining in such a way in Vento Aureo to know that Giorno is not good as he appears.

I believe that this situation would quickly reach the ears of the Speedwagon Foundation, Joseph Joestar never wanted to do bad to the Castiglier Family; What's more, he wanted to give a second chance to the 15-year-old girl he met and loved like a grand-daughter on the trip. Joseph Joestar faithfully believes that the Castiglier family, especially his father, Salvatore, is responsible for not looking for his daughter as a heartless father with no intention of even being a father at all.

Joseph did not want Francesca to have that destiny, under the shadows knowing that what she wanted the most and what she always spoke about on trips was that she wanted to know the world, different cultures, surround herself with people and be happy. being the daughter of a mafioso... Joseph saw her desires quite far from her. That is why he wanted to intervene and Jotaro at 17 was the one who ended up accepting the situation and hiding the truth from Francesca for her own good.

So after a big fight and Francesca in the middle between her blood family and the family she chose would have to try to explain everything, she too is just as shocked as her blood family right now... and it certainly hurts her enormously. the damage that Joseph, Jotaro and Kei have caused with respect to hiding what she always wanted with her life, to find her family.

so it would be a big big problem, a big drama without a doubt.

Voices (Part Three)

Summary: In the months preceding Lester & Meg's return to camp, Nico's nightmares begin to worsen. After a bad fight, Nico apologises to Will.  *Spoilers for Tower of Nero* 

Part One | Part Two | Part Three

Read on Ao3

Will

Will didn't think he'd ever felt this angry.

After his fight with Nico about going to Tartarus, Will had stormed across the pavilion, crashed into Cabin Seven and thrown himself on his bunk.

The cabin was silent. His siblings must still be out doing afternoon activities. Will wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or upset that they weren't there.

He rolled over onto his back and stared at the neat wooden beams above him. He took deep breaths, trying and failing to calm his racing heartbeat. He clenched and unclenched his fists.

What was going to happen now?

Nico would probably be angry at him, he thought bitterly. He had been angry for weeks now, Will knew, ever since the horrible moment he'd felt Jason's death.

Will supposed he would be continuing on with his solo journey down to Tartarus. He might even head down to the Underworld right now, if he was really upset with Will. Will knew how reckless he got when he was mad.

Will's stomach boiled with anger at the thought. He squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his fists again.

Why did Will do this to himself?

Why did he think that he could help? That he could somehow control every situation?

He turned on his side and curled up, feeling suddenly sick.

Every nightmare Nico had told Will about, every waking flashback. Every time Will had touched Nico's wrist to check how he was healing and instead been taken aback by the shock of dark anguish… Each time resurfaced in Will's memory, paralysing him with fear.

That's what Tartarus had done to Nico. And that's what it was going to do again.

There was nothing Will could do to stop it. He had tried to stop him. He had tried to help. And he had failed.

There had been plenty of times in the past couple of years that Will had felt useless; he was unable to fight; the lousiest singer, the worst shot of all his siblings… but this was the most helpless he had ever felt.

He tried desperately not to cry but his eyes burned all the same.

Nico made him so happy; was the best thing in Will's life.

The thought of losing him (to Tartarus, to this fight) was unbearable.

-

The afternoon seemed to slip away in a haze of repeated thoughts and reluctant tears.

At some point before sunset, Kayla appeared at his side.

"Will?" Her voice came urgent and surprised. "Will, are you alright? What happened?"

Will pulled himself upright, filled with relief at the sight of her worried face. Her gaze flickered over Will's disheveled appearance and tear stained cheeks.

"Gods, Will. Come here." She climbed onto the bed beside him and pulled him into a hug. Will rested his head on her shoulder.

They hadn't been sitting there long when another voice came from the doorway.

"Hey," Austin came into the room, frowning. "What happened? What's wrong?" He hurried to join them, his hand on Will's shoulder.

Will felt his spirits lift in their presence, his fear for Nico momentarily abated by his affection for his siblings.

He felt silly for a moment, getting so upset over a fight with his boyfriend.

But it wasn't just a fight, Will reminded himself. This was more than that.

"I'm just worried about Nico." Will mumbled against Kayla's shoulder. Kayla and Austin exchanged a worried glance.

"What are you worried about?" Kayla asked softly, at the same time as Austin said "What happened to Nico?"

Will took a deep, trembling breath.

"He… I think he's going to go back to Tartarus." said Will. "He says it's for a mission. He's been 'called'."

"What?" Kayla breathed. Austin's eyes widened in horror.

"And I tried to tell him that I'd go with him-"

"What?" Austin said.

"-so that he didn't have to do it alone this time." Will pressed on. "But he told me he didn't want  me." His voice cracked on his last words.

"What do you mean?" Kayla asked, perplexed.

"He said he wouldn't let me!" Will shrugged Kayla off and hugged his knees to his chest. He scowled. "He said that fighting in battles wasn't the same as being in Tartarus and that I didn't know what it was like and that I should stay here in the infirmary while he went down there with someone else like Reyna or Hazel or Percy."

Will shoved himself to his feet at that, his eyebrows knitted together. He was suddenly every bit as angry as he'd been when he'd stormed out of Cabin Thirteen.

"Nico said that?" came Austin's stunned voice from Will's bunk.

"Yes." Will spat.

Will had never thought of himself as a jealous person before. He'd never once felt insecure about Nico's relationship with any of his friends; even Percy. But now he was livid.

How could Nico reject him like that? How could he not stand up for Will when Will asked him if he doubted Will's ability to look after himself?

Will worked so hard to look after Nico. To look after everyone at camp. And it was still not enough.

He paced backwards and forwards in the cabin, seething, his jaw set.

"How can-?" Will's voice broke off, whether from his hurt or his anger, Will wasn't sure. "How can he not want me?"

He sat down heavily on Kayla's bunk. And Kayla and Austin exchanged another worried glance before hurrying to his side once again.

-

Kayla and Austin stayed with him for the evening, Austin running to the dining pavilion to grab them all some food.

They sat on the floor of Cabin Seven together, eating burgers and teasing each other.

It had been a tough year already for all three of them. They were all worried about Apollo and struggling with the lack of communication with their summer friends. Will knew that Kayla and Austin had been worried about Nico lately too. They could all tell something big was coming.

The next morning Will joined them both at breakfast. Nico wasn't there.

Will tried to work in the infirmary but he was jumpy and distracted. Treating the minor wounds of the Ares and Athena campers from morning sparring practice only made him feel useless again.

Eventually Kayla snapped and told him he had to leave before he gave himself a panic attack.

Will returned to Cabin Seven and sat on his bunk, trying desperately not to think about whatever Nico might be doing right now.

-

Nico

Nico returned to camp with his stomach (and backpack) full of Sally Jackson's blue cookies. He shadow travelled directly to infirmary.

Will wasn't there.

"Hey" Nico said to Kayla as he came through the door, somewhat out of breath from rushing. He made his way to the supply cabinet just inside the door, grabbing himself a KitKat alongside a dose of unicorn draught (one of their last doses left over from before they lost contact with New Rome).

Kayla looked up warily from where she was administering burn cream to Harley on one of the beds. "Hi."

"Where's Will?" Nico asked, coming around to lean against the bed next to them.

"Hi, Nico!" Harley piped up with a wide grin.

"Hey, kiddo," Nico reached out to bump his fist, though his eyes were still on Kayla.

Kayla straightened up. She had a shrewd look on her face, as though unsure whether she was mad at him. Nico guessed he deserved that. He grimaced.

"Ok, Harley, you're all patched up." She said, standing back to let him go. He jumped up with a cheerful "seeya!", either unaware or unbothered by the tension between the two older demigods.

Kayla crossed her arms. "Will's not here." she said bluntly. "He wasn't feeling well."

Nico swallowed his mouthful of KitKat.

"Is he ok? I was going to come talk to him." he said.

"That depends. Are you planning on apologising?" Kayla raised an eyebrow, which made Nico wince.

"Yes."

Kayla gave him a twisted smile.

"Good. Then I think he'll be fine." She paused. "Are you ok?" Her gaze seemed to soften now that Will's interests were taken care of. Nico smiled at that.

"Yeah. I'm better." He said.

"Good." She nodded. "Will's in our cabin."

Nico finished his KitKat and retreated shyly, slipping the unicorn draught in his pocket for later.

-

He knocked softly on the door of Cabin Seven and waited for Will's muffled "come in" before letting himself in.

Will was curled up on his bunk with his arms wrapped around his knees. When he saw it was Nico his brow creased into a frown. Nico couldn't tell whether it was from anger or from hurt. Probably both.

"Hi, Sunshine." Nico said quietly. Will's eyes flickered away at the use of the nickname.

Nico approached the bunk hesitantly but Will let him crawl up onto the bed beside him and lean against the wall, sitting side by side, their knees touching.

Will's head was bowed. He blinked rapidly, not daring to look up.

"Are you ok?" Nico asked out of habit, unsure whether or not to reach out and take Will's hand. Will swallowed.

"Not really." He whispered.

Nico inwardly flinched but forced himself to move in closer, pressing his shoulder against Will's. Thankfully, Will didn't pull back.

"I talked to Percy."

Nico watched Will's response carefully. But the anger he expected never came. Will bit his lip.

"What did he say?"

Nico's heart ached at the concern in Will's voice. Because that was Will all over, wasn't it. So kind, even when he was upset. Nico felt the ghost of a smile tug at his lips.

"He said he wouldn't come." said Nico. "But I shouldn't have asked, really."

Nico watched Will's jaw muscles clench and unclench. He cleared his throat and pushed on.

"It wasn't fair of me to ask that of him… and it wasn't fair of me to dismiss you, either."

Will closed his eyes. His lip trembled as his frown deepened. Nico shifted to wrap an arm around him and was relieved when Will leaned into his touch.

"You really hurt me, Nico." he whispered.

"I know." Nico replied softly. "I'm so sorry, Will."

Will turned his face and buried his nose against Nico's chest. Nico let his fingers trace gently up and down Will's arms.

They sat like that for a long time, wrapped up in each other. And Nico felt relieved to sit with him for a while. He felt guilt bubble uncomfortably in his stomach. He'd seen Will upset before, but never like this, and never because of something Nico had done. He closed his eyes and tried to remind himself what he'd realised when he was at Percy's. He pushed away the fear of losing Will and instead focused on how warm Will felt against his chest, how safe and comfortable he felt sitting here, with Will's arms around his waist. He focused on that and nothing else while Will steadied his breath.

"It was so stupid of me to doubt you." Nico said eventually. The memory of Nico's silence from yesterday rested uncomfortably between them. Will didn't look up from Nico's chest, though he seemed calmer than before.

Nico thought of the way Will had saved lives under fire at the Battle of Manhattan and the way he'd stopped crowds and weaved through crowds of enemies in the Battle at Half Blood Hill. He remembered thinking that he'd never seen anyone put such unswerving trust in his fellow demigods before. The most loyal and the most reliable camper in the field.

"The truth is" Nico murmured, "I always thought you were amazing in battle."

Will straightened up and rolled his eyes. "No you didn't."

"I did." Nico insisted. "I've always thought… You're so amazing, Will."

Will shrugged. "I'm just a healer."

"The best healer." said Nico. "The best combat healer. The best in a generation."

"You don't know that." Will mumbled.

"I do. Everyone knows it." Nico said. He reached up to cup Will's cheek in his palm. "I'm just so scared of losing you, Will."

"I'm scared of losing you too." Will's voice trembled. "Every time I think about how bad things have got for you lately, and how much worse they might get if you have to be alone down there again I-" Will cut off, unable to say it out loud.

Nico was quiet for a long time, thinking of what Percy had said to him earlier that day. He didn't move his hand from Will's face.

"When I spoke to Percy," Nico began, "He told me about when he and Annabeth were in Tartarus."

Will glanced up, apprehensive.

"He told me that when he was down there, he was afraid of himself sometimes. That Annabeth was afraid of him too. The way he used his powers…" Will's eyes widened at this, and Nico reached out with his spare hand to squeeze Will's as he went on. "It made me think about you."

"Me?" Will frowned at him.

"Yeah. It made me think about how you've never been afraid of me." Nico said. Will's eyes softened into a smile. "You've never been afraid. Even when I shared with you the worst things that I've done and… and even when I've tried to scare you-" Nico broke off with a half-hearted laugh. His hand was still on Will's cheek, his thumb brushing his jaw. Will bit his lip to hold back a grin.

"It also made me think about how… good you are." Nico breathed.

"Good?" Will raised an eyebrow.

"You're the best person I've ever met, Will. You're so kind. And selfless. And… I've never met anyone who cares about things like you do. You're so, so good, Will. And when I'm with you, I feel like maybe I could be good too." As he spoke. Nico felt his heart flutter with nerves and embarrassment and overwhelming joy that he got to call Will his boyfriend. Will gazed back at him with round eyes. His cheeks burned red.

Nico had thought that Will being the most thoughtful, generous person he'd ever met was a reason not to let him come to Tartarus. He couldn't imagine someone so good in such a horrible place. But really, he should have been thinking of those things as exactly the reasons why he was the best person for Nico to have fighting at his side.

"I guess I realised that… I could never be afraid of you. Everything about you - about us - makes me feel so safe and… I would be lucky - I am lucky - to have you with me."

"Nico…" Will blinked rapidly and pulled Nico towards him, wrapping his arms around his back and holding him tighter than he'd ever held Nico before.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you." Nico mumbled against his chest. Will just gripped him even tighter.

"You're not going to lose me." He said firmly, threading his fingers through Nico's hair and cradling the back of his head. "I'm not leaving you."

"I'm not leaving you, either." Nico said. Will let out a breath.

"Good." He said. His voice was suddenly a million times lighter.

Nico finally let himself smile for real and closed his eyes, running his fingers lightly against Will's back. They spent another few minutes holding each other in silence.

"You know I still think you shouldn't rush into anything." Will murmured, pulling back to meet Nico's eyes and gently brushing his hair away from his face. "I still think you need to be more sure about these voices before we decide to do anything."

Nico nodded, his attention still half lingering on the way Will's fingertips felt against his scalp.

"But when I figure that out, you'll help me?" Nico breathed.

"Of course I will." said Will.

Nico smiled, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Good." he said heavily, thinking of the book he'd been poring over last night, now tucked into his backpack alongside the plastic container filled with freshly baked blue chocolate chip cookies. And he opened one eye to peek up at Will in apprehension. "Because I think I found a way into Tartarus without my father knowing."

Week 3 - Final Production

For this final week for the chocolate infographic, we are to keep developing ideas and onto the production in Adobe Illustrator. I’ve got all of the researches completed, and the sketches are done, now it is time for me to create the infographic. However, I don’t want to use the 3D tools in Illustrator as I find it to be quite rigid and it doesn’t have the option for me to edit the shades and tones of the isometric shape freely.

The easiest way for me to go about this is to create an isometric grid. Creating this isometric grid is really simple, I need to go to the Preferences and general. In the general panel, change the keyboard increment to 3.175 mm and adjust the corner radius to 9.65 mm and click OK.

Select the line segment tool to create a straight line. Next is to make sure to press and hold the shift + alt and keep pressing the right arrow key to form equal increments between these lines.

Expand the lines and group them together so that they’re in place. Copy and paste the lines again, and select the rotate feature. Change the angle to 60° and press OK.

Copy and paste the lines again and reflect it vertically to get the opposite angle.

Once the isometric grid is completed, I began creating the first building which I have sketched - sorting and cleaning machine. I have decided not to create machines for the harvesting, fermenting and drying process as it would complicate the infographic. I thought about it, and the approach for me to make this work is by creating a truck delivering the cocoa goods to the factory, and going through the process of cleaning, roasting, winnowing and grinding, etc.

On the other hand, if I do add all of the above into the infographic, it would look really chaotic and too much which in results, could make the viewers confused about where they need to be looking first. Moreover, it would also ruin the layout for this infographic which I had initially planned. Furthermore, To make everything more accessible, I didn’t add colour to the isometric building yet. All I did was use the stroke and set it to 0.25 pt so that I get a clear view of the general shapes of the building. I repeat the process and create the roasting, winnowing and the grinding machine the same way.

I then repeat the process and create the machine for where the sheets of wafer travelled to and the paste machine which the wafer sheets are pasted together. In addition to that, the cutting machine, molding and packaging machine which all needs to be created. At this point, I already had a clear goal of what this infographic is going to look like, including the general layout of where the viewers should be looking at first.

Once the design has been completed, it is time for me to add colours into these building and the process of this is really simple. I created another layer behind the design layer and used the pen tool to fill in the gaps with shades of colours appropriately. Moreover, I created many layers for the colour process as each individual layer would have each building I had designed. The reason why I do this is that it is easier for me to know which layers is which for the colours, therefore, I would always have the ability to change colours if need be, and it just makes everything organised.

Once everything is coloured in, I then add additional objects such as the cardboard boxes, cocoa beans, more wafer sheets, KitKat bars, truck, etc. These items are then coloured in the same way as I did it for the machines and making sure that I create separate layers for these as well.

In addition to that, to make this infographic a little more fun and interesting to read, and instead of leaving this as it is - I have decided to add people into the factory to show that they’re working and to make this infographic a little livelier. However, my intention was not only to make it fun, but the uses of these characters were to give a sense of scale to the viewers in comparison to the sizes of the machines.

To make this infographic really pops, I have to add a floor to act as a base for these buildings. However, it isn’t going to be just a plain floor. My intention for this is to create an arrow floor, indicating the directional of where the viewers should be looking first and in which orders.

I finally add the line indicating to these machines and explaining what it does, including the process that it goes through. Moreover, I tried to keep the information as little as possible and leaving the explanation only on the graphic itself. I then added the title “KitKat Infographic,” at the centre top of the page to let the viewers know what this infographic is about. 

Lastly, to make this infographic fun to read, I have added a golden frame on the left-hand side, with information about how cocoa beans were used as a currency by the Aztecs. This was also associated with how the frame is golden as well as the cocoa beans, as it is an indication of how it was once used as a currency before.

Creating this infographic in an isometric view was something that is new to me, and it was a great experience, plus challenging at the same time to create something this complicated in the amount of one week. However, I have learned a lot from this.

Is the design successful? 

From the amount of work that I’ve put into this project, I could say that this design is successful. I had my doubts at the beginning of the project as this was my first attempt to create an infographic in an isometric view. Not only does it turn out well, but I really like the final results. 

What went well?

What went really well for this task was that I was able to get to the results that I had in mind at the beginning. Moreover, it also went really well that I was able to connect these buildings and machines together without any problems, as I was bewildered of what I should be doing first and how these are going to be connected to each other. 

What didn’t go so well?

Adding the shadows was one of the hardest things I had to do for this infographic. The tools can be rigid in Illustrator, and this is why I had to import a PNG of this infographic to photoshop, and I used the tools in Photoshop to create the shadows instead as it was easier for me. However, it does take a long time to do it, and this is why I left out the shadows for the people as I was really short on time.

What could be improved?

As mentioned above, if I could improve on this, I would redo the shadows entirely and get it as accurate as I could possibly can. Moreover, I’d also like to experiment with more vibrant colours as to what worked well with this infographic. 

Why this idea?

Initially, I wanted to just create the process for making chocolate, but I thought that it has been done too many times, so I just wanted to do something a little different by focusing on a chocolate brand and how they’re made.

Final results:

[allaboutshouto]

I can’t believe I’ve just reached 1k followers… Wow!!!!

Let’s have Tododeku playing the Wedding Shoe Game for celebration! 

Shouto circles a finger on the bright red canvas sneaker sitting on his left thigh. It is a stark contrast to his black formal dress shoe sitting sideway on his right thigh.

Even in this most important day, Izuku still opts for this garish, endearing pair of red shoes. They unbelievably go well with his overall look so Shouto isn’t complaining.

Uraraka circles around, pink dress bobbing up and down with her steps, so she is facing the audience, a mix of Izuku’s family and their classmates. Shouto sees his mother and sister sitting in the background, murmuring happily to each other. No press. Thank the lord.  

She is holing a piece of paper in her hand, trying hard not to laugh. Shouto is regretting his decision now, and from the creaking from behind, Izuku is probably daunted as well.

‘Right,’ Uraraka speaks up, dragging out the ‘i’. ‘Are you ready? It’s time for the first question!’ She is sputtering with laughter now. Shouto is completely spooked on the inside. What hellish questions have their classmates come up with?

Cheers and clapping goes up from the audience. Uraraka clears her throat theatrically.

‘First question is,’ here she pauses for dramatic effect, ‘Who makes better breakfast?’

Well that is actually innocent.

Without any hesitant, Shouto raises the red shoe. Izuku makes great food, no matter which meal. Real, hot, handmade food. Compare to Shouto's go-to choices of fast food and instant noodles, Izuku's food is god-sent.

They are equally busy with hero business but that does not stop Izuku from preparing food three times per day, everyday.

Scattered snickers goes up from the crowd.

Uraraka puts a tick on her paper. 'Next question. Who is more likely to set the kitchen on fire?'

Again, with certainty, Shouto puts the red shoe up in the air. Making good food isn't actually equal to being coordinated in the kitchen, as Shouto has found out after months of living with Izuku in the same apartment and observing him cook. He is a bumbling mess while cooking; knocking things down, breaking things, cutting himself, getting electric shock, slipping on the floor because of grease while frying fish, burning himself every now and then. Miraculously enough, he hasn't set the kitchen on fire. Yet.

Uraraka covers her face with a gloved hand, looking at Izuku's direction while laughter breaks out in the background. Shouto is curious. What kind of face is Izuku making? Is he blushing crimson and not daring to look up from the ground?

'Who spends more money?'

Shouto feels his cheeks heat up as he slowly lifts his dress shoe. Judging by the whooshing sound from behind and roaring laughter from the crowd, Izuku has already given his answer.

It's not like he wants to spend more than needed. He is just so curious about so many things that he can't help but putting them in the basket and carrying them all to the cashier. One time he spent nearly three hours in a store and came back with four bags full of not-ingredient stuff. Izuku had looked at him with an understanding laced with exasperation smile and pushed him put of the door again with the new list. He bought everything on the list with an extra of 14 packs of kitkat, each with different flavor. He gets better at spending but it's still a work in progress. Izuku has already cooked so he wants to do his fair share of work.

Uraraka is clutching at her side, wheezing.

‘Who is more likely to fall asleep with the TV still on?’

Has whoever came up with this question made it their life mission to see Shouto blush scarlet as many times today as they can?

He has fallen asleep not just once, but more than five times with the TV still on, catching up on all the ‘pop culture’ he has missed out. So far he has covered Star Wars, Harry Potter and just started on Marvel and DC.

Out of five times, three times he woke up to find himself on the bed, one time on the floor with a blanket cocooning himself and one time on Izuku’s shoulder. It was, in Shouto’s humble opinion, the best morning view he could ever wake up to. Mess of vibrant green hair framing his soft face, morning sunlight filtering through the half-closed window, illuminating the patch of freckles. Izuku breathed softly through his half-opened mouth, blowing Shouto’s loose strand of hair rythmically. When he woke up and noticed he was being watched, he sheepishly wiped the non-existent drool and planted a brief kiss on top of Shouto’s head. That was the best morning alarm he has ever had.

‘Who spends more time on Facebook?’

Izuku.

Definitely Izuku. Without a shadow of a doubt.

He saw Kaminari actually bending over in laughter from the corner of his eyes as he put Izuku’s shoe up at the speed of light.

Shouto hasn’t known about Facebook until he reaches university and by then it has neither use nor appeal to him. Izuku, on the other hand, uses it daily as a source of news and a means of keeping in touch with their classmates.

‘Who is more likely to drop their phone in the toilet?’

Ok, now this is a hard question, because they both have dropped their phones into bodies of water once or twice. Dropping them into the toilet is not that farfetched. As to whose phone is going to be first… Well, his bet is on Izuku, but he will definitely follow soon so both shoes this time.

Kirishima is pounding the ground uncontrollably now.  

‘Who has a better sense of style?’

Call him haughty but he does.

‘Who fell in love first?’

They frequently have argument about that. But no matter what Izuku insists, Shouto is the first to fall in love. It’s hard not to, when said person literally broke all their fingers to release him from his own demons.

And he can’t bring himself to believe that someone is capable of loving him, after years of not being on the receiving end of love.

So he waves his shoe in the air a little for emphasis. He fell in love with Midoriya Izuku first and nothing can ever change his love for him.
