1) “Last time Midoriya was in a zoom meeting with the rest of the Alliance of dead good guys, and today it seems we’re gonna find out what they are talking, on chapter 304: Izuku Midoriya and Toshinori Yagi

Uhhh, ominous~”-  They’re talking good news, bad news, and worrisome news. Good news: Izuku’s not gonna die naturally before he’s in his 20s Bad news: He doesn’t get to pass the buck of putting a stop to AFO’s plans to anybody else, unlike his predecessors – either he puts a stop to this generations-long battle, or he loses it once and for all Worrisome News: His spirit mentors are not quite squeaky-clean upstanding heroes, and are in fact the kind of guys who will be down for killing a dude if that saves the day, whether or not Izuku’s cool with that himself. 2) “Uhhhhhh… this, doesn’t seems good. I thought Midoriya was talking with the previous holders, why is the power so faint then?”-  It’s faint cause, technically, Yagi’s not meant to have any such power himself- even this tenuous connection to OFA and his own shade within it are things that shouldn’t be possible for a naturally-born Quirkless individual to have. Heck, I’m betting that Yagi can only “feel” what he does because he’s in direct contact with Izuku – unlike the past holders being always connected to him through his shade-self, he in turn can’t sense anything or get a grasp of the mental realm that Izuku shares with them, thus in turn preventing him from being in constant communication with Izuku as a result. 3) “Oh sure, ask about fucking Manual and Rock lock, but not your teacher Midnight, sure, fuck it I suppose.”-  To be fair to Izuku, there are all the heroes around him at Jaku hospital – he didn’t have time to process the implications of Machia showing up to help bail out Shigaraki from Izuku’s smackdown of him 4) “OH BOY HERE WE GO

I RECOGNIZE SOME OF THOSE, THE FIRST ONE, THE HELLBOY SPIDERMAN, NANA, AND OF COURSE THE GHOST OF ALL MIGHT, THE OTHER ONES ARE NEWS

…

WHY ARE THOSE TWO BLAIR WITCHING IN THE CORNER? WHAT DID THEY DO WRONG?”- My question is- which of them came up with the designs for these sick-ass chairs? Somebody’s got a taste for drama amongst these guys. 5) “I wonder what caused that, was it Midoriya almost dying so many times that the reaper decided to call it quits and lifted the veil between the two sides?”- That, and Horikochi deciding it’d be more convenient going into this final battle to not necessitate Izuku be beaten half unconscious every time he needs a strategy meeting with his ghost buddies. 6) “The singularity speed up, and this is a bit worrisome, because if it maintains the same rate of growth, well… I don’t think there’s enough space on Midoriya’s head for so many people”-  Well, at least part of that is AFO accidentally improving Izuu’s connection to OFA through trying to rip it out of his soul with blasting equipment, thus clearing the path for easier communication with them. From AFO himself as a baseline, it’s actually possible to store hundreds, if not thousands of Quirks without your own head going “pop” from all those consciousness in there. Befitting All Might’s statement way back in the starting chapters, AFO’s unintentionally made Izuku stronger and more powerful from his own attempts to remove his source of strength – now Izuku doesn’t need guesswork and working it out on the fly to get a handle on the prior user’s Quirks, the old guard themselves can directly advise him on how to utilise them. 7) “Do you even need a mouth here midoriya? This is the mindscape, they probably can read your thoughts.”- It did seem like Hellboy had issues figuring out Izuku’s actual words and such without a physical mouth to voice them – after all, he’s the one most pleased that Izuku’s finally developing his mental avatar enough to reach the point of full physical projection in this realm. (MHA ch 287) 8) “OH HOLY SHIT HE STOOD UP AND JUMPED IN

HE’S GONNA RIP AFO’S THROAT OUT WITH HIS OWN TEETH

AND HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE TEETH IN THIS PLACE”-Turns out he was manifesting them underneath the smoke, apparently in pure need of something to attack AFO with. 9) “Oh wait I do remember that. So that was a quirk, not just Midoriya’s sense going into overdrive due to one for all?

Also I see you’re a jokester. Ha. ha. funny guy.”- I mean, technically, Danger Sense does work in tandem with all of OFA’s enhancements to increase Izuku’s physical senses to the point he can withstand the immense force he generates – zipping around at high speeds requires a corresponding level of special awareness to avoid injuring yourself, and Danger Sense being likewise enhanced by that means Izuku’s sense are now so fine-tuned he can’t get taken by surprise anymore. And of course this guy’s the jokester, he’s got the Spider-Sense quirk. 10) “Huh, considering he can sense danger, then I understand why he wouldn’t want to be around others. His quirk probably went ballistic due to one for all, it was probably hell.”- There’s also the fact that Shinomori was being hunted by AFO all the time when the Quirk was still somewhat “weak”, too limited in scope to be able to stand up to his power-head-on, and AFO was establishing his long-standing criminal empire all over the place – of course Danger Sense would be going nuts all the time, everybody around him was a potential source of danger that could lead AFO to him.

That said given Shinomori can also use Danger Sense to dodge Banjo’s attempts to be close and chummy with him, it might also be the case that Shinomori’s a wierdo who defines any sort of human contact as a personal danger, hence why his quirk warns him about well-meaning actions like that.  11) “…

Ooooookay now things are definitely getting fucked.

Oh no. OH NO.

He was the fourth one, one for all was not even that strong, but he still had his lifespan cut by half?

Oh jesus fuck

Well, All Might is past his 40s, sure, but that means he can fall dead any second now. I wonder if he didn’t died earlier due to the fact he was quirkless, if that was the case then he might get to his 60-70s and Midoriya probably will get to his 50s before the quirk kills him”- Luckily, by pure chance Izuku and Yagi succeeded in dodging that bullet, but it has interesting bearings in some of the interquel movies that Horikoshi’s helped writ up, even if the canonicity of them is debated. In “Heroes Rising”, in order to overcome the movie’s main villain in the climatic clash, Izuku goes to the extreme of transferring OFA into Bakugou to empower him against the Villain, whilst he utilises the embers of it like All Might did to keep up. However, in the aftermath, All Might discovers that OFA didn’t stay within Bakugou’s body, and instead reversed the transference back to Izuku, seemingly of its own accord (aided by the fact Bakugou was subconsciously rejecting keeping the Quirk, not wanting to accept it in such a manner from Izuku once the need for it had passed). After all, there’s nothing that says a holder of the power can’t enable the reverse of OFA’s transference should the same conditions be applicable to the prior holder as well (Izuku completed the conditions by grasping Bakugou’s bloody hand with his own, mixing their blood from their injuries together inside them both). Whilst it’s unclear how sentient the vestiges were inside OFA, with this inside understanding that passing OFA into anyone but Izuku is a death sentence, it’s likely that the Vestages helped the reverse transference to avoid burning up Bakugou’s lifespan as well, hence why his Quirk didn’t mix/get assimilated with OFA as well. 12) “Well that much we already knew, All might showed that without preparation Midoriya would blow up, and even after that much training his body kept trying to eject his limbs whenever he used it

Considering that much of stress apparently wasn’t the case when All Might took it, then the requirements escalated after his time with the quirk, which means Midoriya might not find someone that can wield such power.But that still leaves the possibility he’ll give the quirk to AfO and blow him up with the sheer amount of power.”-Assuming Tomura’s new body even can be blown up anymore. AFO’s spent a lifetime prepping himself to handle power beyond what his old decrepit shell of a body could, and whilst it’s still up in the air, the possibility that Tomura is strong enough to house both Quirks together within him and wield the god-like power that results from both can’t be discounted. If the vestiges could have been reliably assured that AFO would die from over-consuming more power than he can withstand, they’d have forced a transference themselves directly to finish him off for good, but now that the Quirk’s strong enough to achieve that, AFO’s already moved into the next step of ensuring that the vessel he possesses can’t fall prey to such a clichéd villainous downfall.

13) “Which means that both All Might and Midoriya aren’t safe. Sure, they don’t have their own quirks, but they did wield multiple ones for years.”- The inverse actually. The fact they don’t have natural Quirks to begin with is precisely what gives them the “space” to utilise multiple abilities and strengths beyond what any natural Quirk-Holder in the present-day can.

I have some curiosity about how marionette acted before fu’s death. Was she her normal self until fu died and she just snapped or was she already in a downward spiral and fu just accelerated it to its conclusion?

She was already hugely stressed out, then the memories of Chat Blanc caused a large amount of her trauma to kind of double down - now she had a visualization of what things could be like if she failed, after all, and those images don't leave you - then when Fu lost all his memories, of which she blames herself for, she started to rapidly decline, as it was very much like losing a loved one AND she was losing the only adult she could discuss her superhero stress with.

Lila saw how reserved Marinette was becoming and stabbed the last nail in the coffin by starting rumors about her that Alya tried to confront Marinette about. Marinette was too exhausted to defend herself, and tried to just brush things off, but Alya took that as confirmation that Mari was acting as badly as Lila said, and from there - with someone she considered a close if not THE closest friend - leaving her behind, Marinette galvanized herself.

(not long after that, Bunnix tried to approach her and do damage control, but she was too heavy handed, pushing Marinette further from everyone. things haven't been the same since.)

okay but did you think about the fact laios already feels responsible for taking her last breath... this story started with falin sacrificing her life for him, dying in front of his eyes- so that "worst case scenario" already happened. at the beginning he thought all he had to do to fix things is simply bring her back to life like they had done before, but then it was his decision that led her to a fate arguably even worse than death; a reality where the very reason he wanted to save her was erased from her mind, with her becoming a chimera puppet. a reality where he is forced to fight a monster in the form of his sister.

for that reason, his choice to kill falin on his own isn't about saving everyone else from the horror of this "possible" outcome as much as it is him finally facing his own guilt for all he had done: from abandoning her during their childhood to bringing her with him to the island and living a life of hunger and danger at the cost of the safe future she could've had without him, eventually resulting in her dying while being all alone. but unlike his choice to leave their village, this time she was the one forcing him to leave her behind- an act that was not only done out of pure love but was also the result of a lifetime of internalizing the notion that everyone she loves always takes priority over herself.

so when it came to that point in chapter 67, killing her was his way of not abandoning her anymore. taking her last breath to carry alone, so he can never let go of her again. even if they wouldn't have succeeded in resurrecting her, then at least he gave her one last precious memory, at least he didn't let her sleep starving again- which is in direct contrast with her death at the beginning of the series that was caused by their hunger and its effects. but more, or perhaps even most importantly, at least he didn't let her die alone this time- having her most beloved person experiencing the horrors of her death with her while her dear friends are witnessing her suffering that she was trying so hard to shield them from until now.

and in those moments, it was without a doubt falin struggling against him along with the dragon. because of her brother forcing her to make a choice once more, she finally revealed her most raw, selfish and intrinsic side by fighting him back, scratching and pushing and screaming and harming the person she always put first instead of quietly giving up her own life. dying by the hands of love instead of dying for love. in choosing herself this time, it might be what gave her soul the strength to choose living by the end of the series- living a life of her own. and for laios, this was just as essential to his personal growth as well as the first step in his atonement: redoing it "the right way".

Would the toys also make a feelings circle around player? I mean they don't really talk. So they would think they need it too.

Doey using the distraction as a means of escape. Lol

In reference to THIS previous ask! Really it’s more of a “Feelings Pile” because unlike Doey, the player would try and make a run for it XD

1) “Oh, good, so besides the walking apocalypse, the goth trying to kill Endeavor and his family, and a killer who can be anyone anywhere, we still have an army of extremists and seven nigh-unstoppable killing machines. Good, I thought things would be sorta easy from now on.”- Technically, there’s two walking apocalypses out there: TomurAFO and the original AFO in his crippled body. He’s weaker than his “perfected” self, sure, but the power he wields still can’t be underestimated: I’m pretty sure that they’d need Izuku himself to handle the sheer power he can unleash, which is enough to level a city by himself. Tomura, in comparison, could potentially wipe out entire chunks of the country, so it’s purely a matter of scale in ranking their threat level 2) “jesus fuycking christ

truly the fall of society while the rest of the world watches. things are gonna turn real ugly”-  The damage done truly underscores how isolated the heroes of Japan are, in addition to how overwhelming the crisis is for those struggling to provide some semblance of stability. 3) “And again: that was intentional, both by AfO as well as the liberation front. The more death and destruction, the more people will be willing to put up with anything to see the end of it, which means that society is yours to grab if you have the means, and AfO and Redestro most certainly do.”- And yet, for all that it’s bad, the thing I was always remembering during these chapters was, “at least it isn’t as bad as it could have been”. Like, yeah, this is absolutely anarchy on the streets and everything’s getting worse by the day but, the heroes’ efforts weren’t in vain. They weakened Tomura, stopped and contained not only Machia, but also Re-Destro and most of the PLF’s members, on top of killing the High-Ends and leaving TomuAFO with only some of the League’s core members to head up his villain brigade, which is also part of the reason he turned to destroying the prisons in order to maintain the upper hand, in spite of their clear victories against the Villains. Had everything proceeded according to design, the heroes would have had no chance at turning the situation around, but even with total societal breakdown occurring all around them, the sacrifices and lives spent in evening the odds (somewhat) were not in vain. 4) “OH? OKAY THEN? SO THERE’S A CHANCE OF FOREIGN HEROES SHOWING UP TO HELP, I SEE

YOU KNOW WHO WOULD BE QUITE THE HELP NOW? CAPTAIN CELEBRITY AND THE SKYCRAWLER, BUT YOU KNOW, FUCK THAT I SUPPOSE, IT’S NOT LIKE EITHER OF THEM HAVE ANY ATTACHMENT TO JAPAN OR SOMETHING.(I’m ready to eat my hat if they actually show up, rest assured)”- I honestly imagined Koichi getting stuck with the opposite problem of current real-world America during this: being an immigrant unable to quickly leave America.

5) “Hawks, is there still doubts about it? I mean, they all literally were talking about and confirming the situation a few minutes before. Sure, things are different, Endeavor wants to make up for what he has done, but I don’t think there’s much space for the benefit of doubt in relation to the past.”- Well, Dabi is still an admitted Villain with a clear agenda with his revelations against the Todoroki, so there was always some room for doubting what he said, simply because it was him saying it and not Endeavour. But with Endeavour and the others confirming it – not to mention clarifying details that Dabi didn’t want to talk about or simply didn’t understand due to his warped worldview, Hawks feels better about putting his full support behind Endeavour once again.

6) “Oh wait, so Jeanist is the current number three? Well, considering everyone else died or run away, I suppose he would climb the ranks.”-  The odds are, Izuku is going to become the World’s Greatest Hero by the end of this, simply because he’ll be the onlyhero left standing.

7) “I mean, he already had stepped away from the family when he realized the depth of his fuck up before, so I don’t think he had any hope of coming back Natsuo. Also he’s probably gonna die in the end anyway, so.”- I read Natuso’s reaction as “I’m willing to put aside my grudge with you and not be antagonistic anymore, but only until the point we’ve resolved this issue with Toya, then it’s back to ghosting you from my life, ok?” And even then, Enji’s somewhat grateful he gets that kind of support from his estranged kid at all.

8) “I already imagine that you guys will need to soften things up with the public, and that will probably mean having to lie about the past. I hate it, but considering the chaos outside, I can see why this would be necessary, throwing more fuel into the ever-expanding inferno going on would only make things worse”- On the other hand, lying, or more accurately, not talking about the family issues in public, is partly why Toya revealing the truth then was such a devastating blow, propping Endear upon a pedestal that only made it easier for him to topple it over by undermining the foundations of that support in the public’s eyes. Therefore, it may be better, if risky, to just bite the bullet and swallow the poison pill, no matter how bad or difficult it’s be to do so in this current climate of unease.

9) “You’re barking up the wrong tree there Hawks, you should ask Midoriya or All Might about it, Endeavor is as blind as you are on that matter.”- True, but he is, ironically, the first person to find out about its existence from somebody other than All Might, which makes him the one people turn too for answers when both Midoria and Yagi are otherwise distracted.

10) “Oh thank you manga, so he did say that, but it was because Midoriya said it. Geez for a moment there I was trying to recall if they had told endeavor about One for All and the previous holders.”- And now the biggest change to the status quo. Up till this point, Izuku’s been able to trained and prepare himself in relative obscurity as an up-and-coming hero student, but with AFO’s plans in motion and society in a breakdown around him, that moment has passed. Now, the moment for people to recognise Izuku as the next Superman of their world is fast approaching…

11) “His body is completely fucked up, have you seen the amount of broken bones he ended up with? He managed to broke his tongue, how will they put a cast on his tongue?”- His body is broken, and frankly, for such a caring and empathetic young boy, to see such damage being dealt to those he cares about, knowing on some level that it was because of him, his spirit’s probably not much better off.

12) “I fucking forgot that was Bakugo’s hero name oh my fucking GOD why”-Your brain attempted to protect you from the mental damage. Alas, it only left you open for a fresh round of pain when it was brought up again. That said, it’s a nice sign of Jeanist’s sincere respect for Bakugou and his character development that he sincerely uses the name, treating him as an actual hero and peer without any mockery of his naming sense. 13) “OH HOLY SHIT

THEY ARE SPEAKING ALRIGHT, BUT THE LIVING ALL MIGHT IS NOT INCLUDED ON THAT, THAT’S BETWEEN MIDORIYA AND THE SPECTRAL ALL MIGHT SO THAT MEANS NEXT CHAPTER THERE’S GONNA BE SOME FUCKING REVEAL THAT’S FOR SURE”- Time to see more of/about the past wielders, now Izuku’s connection has been strengthened by his training and recent strenuous efforts…

Wanted to ask for confirmation here

So I was checking the dates in-between comic updates and when you uploaded them on your patreon and made an OOC post as a reminder? Notice?

So based on what I gathered so far.

When you have backlogs of parts, you upload one every two weeks, and your patreons get early access to all the backlogs a week before one part of those backlogs was even uploaded?

Hopefully my wording isn't confusing, i'm sick, like victorian boy felix from changeling au sick, but worse, so I couldn't formulate words well

hm, basically!

the thing is, I would PREFER to upload about 50-70 frames per update, but since Tumblr now has a 30 image limit on posts, I have to cut my updates in half or into thirds. on Patreon, my patrons get the full update, all frames at once, while tumblr will get them usually in the form of two to three posts, because I have to split them up to upload them.

so Generally, patrons will get the Full Update all at once, while tumblr, a week later, will get Half the update.

Updates are every other week for the time being, if I manage to make enough of a backlog they'll be weekly again!

[chloesimaginationthings]

hi everyone!! i want to thank you all for your patience as i've been really slow so far this year to get moving on both plotting & writing. i want to give a little bit of an update on my life, since work has been a large part of why i have had so little energy to dedicate to replying to everyone.

i have been made junior partner at my work, which means that i am now a partial business owner! this is a huge step up for me, since it's a company that i am extremely passionate about and dedicated to, but also means that my paycheck is more or less determined by my ability to help keep the business thriving. this is going to mean a lot more work hours for me and a big shift as i learn to adjust to this new schedule with possibly even a pay cut at first. my goal for the rpc is to continue plotting & writing with everyone that i follow, though i will continue to be slow to do so. currently i require plotting before i start new threads with anyone. the best way to make this happen is to like my plotting calls and/or fill out my interest tracker, or if this really doesn't work for you then my first meeting starter call.

i also work a lot through discord, which sometimes means that either i am online but unable to get distracted by incoming messages, or don't have the energy to look at the app anymore at the end of the day. even if it can take me a month to get around to certain messages, i am not ignoring them and am just waiting to get up the energy to give a reply the attention and energy that it deserves. because i want to be able to give my all to everyone here.

please don't ever take my slowness in reaching out, replying to messages, or answering memes, starters, or continuing threads as disinterest. i have lots of interest—i just have very little time. once again, thank you everyone for your patience and for your continued energy & interest.
