MHA 404 AND BUTTERFLIES??

Came back from the dead after reeling at the 404 leaks. I've mentioned previously before that my fics have been able to predict some really uncanny things and I've experienced some really eery coincidences. It was usually One Piece and less BNHA, but these days I've seen some major coincidences (the last big one being fucking Gearshift being called Overdrive. OVERDRIVE?! That's been Kana's Quirk name since 2018-2019, and they even operate similarly! I'm gonna start charging Oda and Horikoshi, frfr.) (And if you don't believe me, you can go through my old notes because I've written about this for years before any of the relevant chapters were released).

404's less of a prediction but a huge callback. A Place Where the Chrysanthemums Bloom's original title, if you just scroll a bit, was acronymed as 'TBE.'

TBE = The Butterfly Effect

Kana's flower motif, the fact that her original last name was 'Papillon' and her parents' hero names being Papillon (=butterfly in French) was all because the story was originally called 'The Butterfly Effect' and how one small action cascades into something massive for Kana, her friends, and the heroes around her.

The fact that 404 is a complete callback to how I began this story in 2019 is extremely bittersweet and I just feel so warm with how amazing this journey has been. These huge coincidences actually feel insane as a writer, and a part of me feels frustration because if I published my story first, these coincidences would've made reading my fics such an amazing experience (like could you imagine if I was deep into writing the first war arc and all of a sudden Gearshift-Overdrive was revealed?!). But I think these coincidences are happy coincidences for the most part or at least an acknowledgement from the world that we were on the right path. These moments are so precious to me and part of why I love writing OC-fics.
