#god i still havent updated that tag

[frostbite-the-bat]

talked w/ a friend about this and wanted to post something similar yesterday after a convo i saw also

about people criticizing ttcc / ttcc fans for just... being cog fans? being cog centric? usually coming from people who only like the toons.

and everyone likes what they like! it's okay! but saying that people who like the cogs are horrible and support the bad things they do, is just blatantly wrong. i thought we knew that enjoying villainous and morally Bad / grey characters is... okay? it doesn't mean you support what they do. it's interesting to explore these topics.

i've seen many people just... paint anyone who likes the cogs as horrible because they're "apologists of x and y" and... i dunno. rubs me the wrong way! you do have a point and recognize the cogs do bad things, but liking them as characters means nothing about who you are as a person.

and this is not to say that people who are in toontown for the toons are bad. hell! they are right this IS toontown. i may be on the cog liker side but i like the toons! maybe ocs more than the npcs - mostly because i like my friends and the sheer creativity the toons can bring out!!

SO what i wanna say... i dunno. let's not point fingers...? let's have fun in a goofy cartoon game together??? also complaining about people liking VILLAIN ROBOTS on TUMBLR is kind of funny to me. do you realize where you are. but then again a lot of this i see on discord and in-game as well since i avoid things on tumblr... i am a sensitive little fella i avoid misty fight bc of One Really mean "Critic" guy i saw there and i have been shivering in my bootsies since. so you get me

but like yes ttcc is more cog centric but... that's okay? things could be written better and i still wanna speak on it, and i do thing the toons deserve attention and better writing... but the fact it focuses on the cogs isn't... bad? if you don't like how con centric it is you can go play ttr...? god forbid people have fun and explore the villain's side of things...? i'm not saying either toontown server is better or worse than the other... and everyone can like their own things!!

but like... people will just like the cogs and that's okay and it doesn't make you bad. let's all be friends okay? both sides may be going at each other's necks in-game and the cogs in fact do horrible things - but it's what makes them fun, and it gives the toons things to do in the game!! but we don't gotta !!!!!!!! i may be really sarcastic and sometimes mean in private but like that's me just privately sassing, deep down i think people should just... y'know..? enjoy things.

so yea that's the guzma / cathal thought of today. toon people cog people both people are all awesome as fuck and you keep doing what you're doing i love you toontown isn't toontown without you

Lave-san i need help i desperately need fics where the DCA does not like you initially/straight up dislikes you and avoids you. Bonus ppints for mechanic y/n

So I'll lead with the disclaimer that I crowdfunded this reply because I am a pitifully slow reader, which translates to me actually reading only very few fanfics. However, I trust my sources (from the Sleepy Cove Server <3), so I'll wholeheartedly recommend these!

First the two I have actually read:

Our Orbit is Elliptical by @sycopomp and @madame-mongoose

The Daycare Attendant is very protective of his role in the Superstar Daycare; he was made for this job, after all, and he finds it insulting that management seems to think he needs help. They insist on saddling him with human assistants, over and over, no matter how many quit. Not that he does it intentionally, of course... but if they can't handle the stress, then perhaps they aren't fit to be working with children. Hmph.

You are the new Daycare Assistant at the Superstar Daycare! Despite some reservations, you're determined to do your best and prove-- mostly to yourself-- that you deserve to be here. You're inspired by Sun and the ease with which he gets along with the children, and you hope to impress him with your go-getter attitude and unflappable confidence! (Even if both of those things are about as flimsy as construction paper...)

aka: Sun is passive-aggressive to his new assistant, whom is so determined to do a good job that they're too oblivious to notice.

Almost Human by @vilz

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.” ― Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

---

You get a new job. It's a struggle.

And now the ones that make me wish I could read faster or simply have more time in the day:

Two Choices by @thelonereni

You chose this.

There was regret of course, but turning back wasn't an option anymore. You couldn't lose this new game you found yourself in, and somehow you managed to feel more and more alive the longer you played...

You have worked in sanitation since the pizzaplex opened, but that all changed when you had a bit of a mishap in the kitchen. With the only real option left being an assistant in the daycare, you decided it couldn't be worse that your previous position.

Between the surly daycare attendant, bosses breathing down your neck and the corporate overlords coming for a visit, your starting to think you make really shitty life choices.

What's The Moral Here? by @/siquieres on ao3

Your little brother is invited to a birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, hosted inside the Superstar Daycare. The Daycare Attendant takes a disliking towards you, or at least, that's what you think it is. Despite this and the violent nightmares of a sun god that plague you, you keep letting your brother bring you back. You keep coming back.

A sort of mean-spirited take on the Sun/Reader dynamic. Reader is often injured, intentionally or not.

What's It Called When Light Hits A Prism? by @/TooManyPsuedonyms on ao3

The PizzaPlex has been running--and the Management needs a new operator for one of their salvaged animatronics.

You are just trying to live independently, so of course, you'll take the job.

You have no idea what you're in for. Granted, you never really know what you're in for, but this can't be much different than working with regular human people… right?

And perhaps one where the DCA doesn't outright dislike Y/N, but the premise still causes tension in their dynamic (and you get mechanic Y/N!):

It's Curtains For You! by @muzzlemouths

|| “You will be befriending, then dismantling the animatronic,” he gets right to the point, “and you’ll have about a month to do it.”

You're not here to make friends. You're here to earn what you can, smile and nod with simple Yes Sirs, and keep your head down low. An open position as the Daycare Attendant's newest 'mechanic' doesn't change any of that. You're on a tight schedule with the disassembly and you can't afford to be getting attached.

But what happens when you do?

50% into kotlc, here are some thoughts ive had since the 25% mark :D

@aylin-hijabi @that-multi-fandom-hijabi sorry for tagging yall a lot lmao

first thing that comes to mind thats plot-related n not character-related is prentice. he was exiled 12 years ago, same age as sophie. its so obviously not a coincidence. tho i wonder whats up w him n tiergan (idk how to spell lmao i feel like thats wrong)

also, i wonder just how strong sophie is. like, the way she knocked fitz into the wall ??? thats her not knowing the full extent of her powers. i have a feeling shes always gonna be one of those main characters whos extremely powerful but constantly throughout the series she finds new abilities she has. kinda like percy jackson

im also realizing how stupid ill seem if im just overanalysing everything and my guesses are too far-fetched or too deeply thought out to really mean anything lololol

moving to character-related, i adore dex. he seems kinda spiteful tho ??? esp towards fitz. thats prolly bc the vacker family is apparently rlly famous n shit n meanwhile dexs parents were a bad match. still dont rlly get what that means. i feel like theres more to him. also his crush on sophie is adorable

KEEFE. nothing, just... keefe. havent seen much but from what i HAVE seen, hes hilarious. i remember aylin mentioning that hes like leo valdez in that theyre both hot, funny, and traumatized... still waiting on the 'traumatized' part. she also said hes less major in this book n more major in the second book, so maybe ill find out then

midterms are gonna go wrong just wait i just know it

biana seems acc genuine in wanting to be friends w sophie. but there was one point when she was talking to sophie n there was smth like a glare for a moment ?? idk kinda sus to me. maybe im overthinking it cause i cant think of a possible motive

marella seems cool. in the art, shes absolutely gorgeous, but so is everyone in this goddamn book. also notable that the first time i saw her name i misread it as 'redneck' 💀💀💀

stina is a bitch. nothing else to say, except that she looks terrifyingly like me? except different eye color n i wear glasses loll. i hope to see some character development cause i personally hate the trope of "token mean girl" in books (like drew tanaka or zoya nazyalensky) cause theyre so one dimensional n boring (although zoya does become majorly more likeable throughout the grishaverse books, im hoping to see the same in stina)

irrelevant but the amount of times sophie is ending up in the infirmary reminds me of a roleplay w my friends from like three years ago oml the nostalgia (cause there would at all times be at least one character in the infirmary injured or nearly dead bc we needed that drama to keep the rp going LMAO)

overall, theres not as much to say as there was at the 25% mark. (i feel like theres more i wanna say but i cant think of anything.) prolly cause since then, the book has mainly been abt learning abt the elves' world n culture. i think by the 75% point im gonna have a lot more to say, n then ill post the final update thingie when im 100% done w the book

ill be 75% done in 89 pages, but the last day of midterm is tomorrow, so god knows how long thatll take me :') i promise to try thooo

oh also galvins a bitch but i feel like she has trauma fsr idk shes just giving

"So, what happened to Izuku once he got captured?" asked the little girl, swinging her feet. As ever, she seemed more interested in the action bits than anything else, and she looked up at her mother with wide, eager eyes, ready to devour more of the story.  

"Terrible things," replied her mother, staring out in the direction of the ocean, watching as the waves crashed against the rocky shore. "Even the worst of luck does not account for what transpired during his captivity— only human cruelty could be responsible for such depravity."

"What's depravity?" 

The mother looked down at her child, her eyes sad. 

"It's—"

She paused, thinking. 

"Depravity is evil," she said. "It's like the bullies in the schoolyard who grow up and haven't learned how to treat other people. Think of a kind of creature that takes what they want by force, and never gives a moment's thought to another being beyond what they can use them for— that, child, is depravity."

The girl chewed on the inside of her cheek, thinking.

"Like pirates?"

The mother shook her head.

"No," she murmured. "Like slavers. There is no greater depravity than to believe that one can possess another human soul— and, unfortunately, Izuku Midoriya learned that the hard way… "

***

Izuku would never forget the moment he woke to find himself bound hand and foot, thrown into the hold of a ship like so much cargo. The experience was a singular one, unlike anything else he had known before. 

It was a turning point, a new beginning in his life— and not an entirely welcome one. 

When Izuku regained consciousness, he was deep in the bowels of the enemy ship. Down there, in the baleful heat, it was dark as pitch and stank like hell. The pungent aroma of piss, sweat, and sick enveloped Izuku to the point of choking him; his head ached, and his neck and back protested against the hard, wooden floor on which he lay. Still, he wriggled and thrashed until he could feel something hit his boot, and he whispered,

"Kacchan. Kacchan! Are you there?"

Izuku swung his foot a bit too wide, and someone grunted.

"Deku? Is that your shitty foot that just kicked me?"

"Oh thank the gods," Izuku breathed, letting out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. "I thought— I thought—"

"Thinking is a waste of your fuckin' time, you moron," Bakugou shot back, and Izuku could hear him wriggling closer. "Come see if you can untie this rope.

A moment later, as Izuku and Bakugou were trying to regain their bearings, another voice whispered,

"Midoriya? Bakugou?"

It was Todoroki. 

"We're here, Half-and-Half," said Bakugou.

There was a thud, and then:

"Ow!"

The newest voice, Izuku thought, belonged to the barber surgeon from earlier— Iida.

"I see you lads are new here."

This voice Izuku did not recognize. However, it was a distinctly feminine one, and he wondered how a woman had found herself in a place like this. 

"You," said Todoroki, "where are we?"

"Aboard the bonny Sea Bitch," came the sardonic reply. "Gildur's pride and joy. They tossed you lot in here like a stinking sack of potatoes some time ago— I was starting to think you were dead."

"Shut up," Bakugou growled as he finally managed to press his back against Izuku's positioning himself so that the rope that bound his hands was pressing against Izuku's. "We're trying to get out of here."

There was a pause, then the voice said,

"You know, I liked you better when you were dead."

Izuku couldn't help himself. He gave a hysterical little laugh at that, and he heard it echoed by Todoroki a few feet away. Soon, they were both stifling their hysterics until Bakugou slammed his head backwards with such force that it knocked painfully against Izuku's, effectively sobering him. 

"Work faster, you idiot," he growled. "If you don't shut the fuck up, they'll hear you!"

"It's useless, you know," said the feminine voice, once more rising to contradict Bakugou. "Even if you all get free before a patrol comes by— which you won't— you've no weapons, no armor. You'll never fight your way off of this ship."

"Still, we must try." There was some more shuffling, and Izuku imagined that Iida was trying to sit up. "Better to have fought and lost than not to have fought at all."

"Men— always willing to die for some cause or other," the voice spat. "How about putting your peckers away for a fucking minute and listening to what I have to say?"

All was silent for a heartbeat or two, and then Izuku spoke.

"Go on, then," he said. "What do you have to say?"

"They killed the last blokes what tried to escape. If you want to survive, make yourselves useful to them in some way— are any among you tradesmen?"

"I'm a medic," said Iida. "My Lord Todoroki is a nobleman, son of Lord Enji Todoroki, and an officer in the Florin navy, with education in the fields of—"

"You'll live," said the voice. "Your friend, Lord Cunt? Not so much."

Bakugou snorted at that, but Izuku elbowed him. They were all in the same boat now, both physically and metaphorically.

"Lord Cunt speaking," said the nobleman in question, "Do you know whose command this vessel is under?"

"I'm not sure of his government name, mate, but he calls himself Stain."

The name was unfamiliar to Izuku, but Todoroki grunted. 

"It's well that it was him and not another that caught us," he said softly. "Stain is a man of ideals. If he can't trade or ransom us in some way to further the cause, then he'll kill us outright and be done with it. That's more than can be said for our other adversaries."

Izuku didn't know a thing in the world about Florin's politics, much less that of her enemies— why would he, being just the hired help?— but he trusted Todoroki to know what he was talking about. 

"So how do we play this?" Izuku asked. "What information do we have to work with?"

"This is no game," said Todoroki harshly, "and we are not players. We are at this man's mercy, and we'll do what he asks of us insomuch as we can, short of betraying the crown."

Izuku swallowed. 

"Fuck that," Bakugou swore. "There's got to be another way."

In the end, though, Todoroki was right. There was nothing they could do. Not when the guards came to check on them, throwing them a pail of water to lap from like dogs, and not days later, when they were brought out to stand before the captain, Stain— a tall, lanky man with wiry dark hair and a sharp jaw, prone to frowning. 

"Shoto Todoroki," said Stain, coming to stand toe-to-toe with the young officer. "I see you're in command of a fine bunch of men. All hearty, hale, and good fighters too."

Todoroki said nothing, instead staring at the captain as if he hadn't spoken at all. 

"Well, brat?" Stain insisted, his nose almost touching Todoroki's. "What do you have to say?"

Todoroki sniffed, somehow still disdainful despite being filthy and covered in the rank smell of piss. 

"I have nothing to say to a man who will not address me by my proper rank— but these men are scum and worse besides. Proper company for your crew, I'd say."

Beside Izuku, Bakugou bristled— but Izuku stepped roughly on his foot. His instincts said that Todoroki was up to something, and something told Izuku that an outburst from Bakugou would be to their collective detriment. 

"Hm. They seem fine enough to me. Does serving their motherland not suit them well enough?"

"The ungrateful cunts were money-hungry," Todoroki replied, his tone full of self-righteous spite. "Never enough food, never enough wine, never enough gold. They'd often complain and speculate that the grass was greener where you and your ilk grazed."

Stain huffed a laugh. 

"So it is, boy, so it is. Me and my ilk quite like where we're standing." Stain backed away then, pacing down the line of them standing there. He stopped directly in front of Bakugou, looking him up and down like one might a strange statue with graven wonders. "As for you and yours, well, I'd love nothing better than to hold you for ransom and keel-haul the rest."

Izuku stiffened. He wasn't exactly sure what keel-hauling was, but it sounded like something he certainly didn't want to be a part of. 

Todoroki raised a noble brow, stoic as ever.

"But?"

"But my compatriots are in need of more men to work in the galleys, so I'll be passing off the lot of you to the chain and the oar," said Stain, grabbing Bakugou by the wrist, curling his arm upward so that his bicep flexed, feeling the muscle there. "I mean only to ascertain the health and well-being of the lot of you before I make a gift of you to Kai Chisaki."

At that, Bakugou spat and hissed, yanking his arm away from Stain. Stain, however, took the motion in stride and cold-cocked him then and there. Bakugou— a large, sturdy man, even at their admittedly young age— was staggered, and Stain shook the pain from his hand. 

"Oh, he will have fun breaking you," Stain said with a sickening grin. 

"Eat shit," said Bakugou, and this time, he earned himself another punch and a pistol shoved beneath his jaw. 

"One more word, foul or otherwise, and I'll paint the deck with your brains. As big and burly as you are, if you can't behave, you're better off dining with Davy Jones."

The captain spoke the words casually, but his meaning couldn't be more clear. Wisely, Bakugou kept his mouth shut, and Izuku breathed a quiet sigh of relief as Stain moved on. 

One by one, he inspected the four of them, checking the muscles of their biceps, the calluses on their hands, even the color of their tongues and number of their teeth. Izuku numbly allowed the intrusive touches, thinking only of survival, thinking only of (Y/N) and the promise he made to her. 

I will come back. I swear I will come back to you.

He missed her so much that it was a physical ache. 

"You're lucky," said Stain, stepping back. "Those gashes on your face don't seem to be infected yet. I'll have my barber surgeon take a look.”

“If I may,” said Iida, stepping forward, “I’m a medic myself. Given the proper tools, I could—”

Stain grabbed Iida by the cheeks, mashing his face together with a single, giant hand.

“If you think I’d let you anywhere near a surgery, you must think I’m a fool. You won’t get your hands anywhere near a needle, scalpel, or chemicals. You’re no doctor now, boy. You’re a meat suit for propelling a ship— nothing more.”

Stain signaled for the guards to take the rest of them away, leaving Izuku alone with him.

“Walk with me,” he said, and Izuku followed. 

Together, they made their way belowdecks. Izuku felt nervous, a bit seasick as he struggled with making it down the stairs with his arms tied behind him, hindering his balance— but then Stain began speaking to him, and he felt sick for a different reason.

“What is your name, boy?”

Izuku swallowed thickly. 

“Izuku Midoriya, sir,” he said, then kicked himself for honoring this bastard with a sir. 

Stain grunted.

“So you’re a no-name kid with a farmer’s tan and a look on your face that says you're about to piss yourself, and yet you cut down two of my men the other day like a hot knife through butter, before someone stopped you. I saw you do it, or I wouldn’t believe it myself.” Stain opened a door, waiting for Izuku to step inside. “The way I see it, that doesn’t make much sense. So tell me, plowboy— how did you end up here?”

Izuku allowed himself to be distracted by the barber surgeon, who directed him to take a seat on a long, red wooden table that once might have been brown before he answered. He was grateful for the time to think, but in the end, it was as Bakugou had predicted— thinking, it seemed, was a waste of his time. He was a man of action; lies did not become him. Instead, Izuku was better suited to honesty, so he said all he knew to be true.

“I’m in love with a woman,” he said, “but I had no money, no titles, and no land. I set out to make enough money to buy or earn those things which I lacked. That’s all.”

Stain laughed at him— a deep, belly-laugh that shamed Izuku, brought heat to his cheeks.

“It’s always a woman, isn’t it? Nothing better to destroy a man.”

The barber surgeon stepped in front of Izuku, obscuring his view of the captain as he dabbed the wounds on Izuku’s face with iodine, readying it to be sewed. Even so, Izuku was hardly finished with the conversation, and he boldly said,

“I love her. I swore I’d come back to her, and that’s a promise I intend to keep.”

The needle pierced Izuku’s flesh, but he resisted the pain readily enough, even as Stain laughed again. 

“You won’t leave Kai Chisaki’s galley alive,” he said, “and even if you do, you’ll come home to find your love in bed with the man she told you not to worry about. Take my advice: if you ever get free, make something of yourself, but not for some wench. Seize life by the throat, and take what you want from that thieving bitch while you can.”

Izuku opened his mouth to say that perhaps Stain’s experience of “finding your love in bed with the man she told you not to worry about” was not because all women were fickle, but perhaps because Stain himself was such an ugly, mean sonofabitch, but the barber surgeon told him to hold still and stop talking. It was just as well; Izuku had the feeling that Stain wouldn’t have liked what he had to say very much anyway.

“This is going to scar,” said the medic. “If you had come to me earlier, or if you had pressed the edges of the wound together, it might have saved your looks, but as it is, there’s nothing I can do.”

Stain laughed again. Izuku was starting to hate that sound.

“Do you think your whore will even recognize you now?”

Rage burned within Izuku, the likes of which he had never felt before. 

“She isn’t a whore.”

“Too right— a whore wouldn’t mind servicing a man with a fucked-up face. No self-respecting lass would have anything to do with a rough-looking, low-born bastard like you.”

Izuku inhaled, exhaled, dismissing the words from his mind— but even so, the scalpel on the surgeon’s table glinted in the corner of his eye, silver, tempting.

“Do you think she’s even given you a moment’s thought since you left?” Stain pressed, and Izuku began to tremble. “Do you think she will even care when you die in the belly of a ship, chained to your oar?”

Izuku did not trust himself to speak. He grit his teeth, locked his jaw. He would not give Stain the satisfaction of the outburst he wanted, and the medic’s needle was slipping into the fragile skin where his nose sloped upward toward his brow-line. He would be still. He would be silent. 

“Face it,” Stain said, “You were never good enough for her. You were always unworthy from the start. She knew it, you knew it, and I know it.”

Unfit.

“You’re nothing but a plowboy, are you?”

Unworthy. 

“A little piss-ant plowboy with a tiny, miserable c—”

Izuku snapped. Before he knew what was happening, the scalpel was in his bound hands and he slit the medic ear-to-ear. Warm blood splashed on his hands, chest, and face, and with the needle still stuck through the skin of his right brow, Izuku lunged at Stain, swinging the scalpel in an underhanded upward motion, aiming for the captain’s soft, squishy bits that would take poorly to piercing. With a cougar’s grace, Stain slipped aside in just enough time to avoid the blade, and the scalpel lodged itself in the counter behind him, bending from the force of Izuku’s strike. This time armed with nothing but his bare hands, Izuku lunged again, aiming to wrap his hands around Stain’s throat, but the captain was too fast. He drew his pistol and used the butt of it to strike Izuku down. Izuku fell hard, and Stain kicked him once, twice, three times in the ribs, then put his boot directly on Izuku’s cock, pressing down painfully against it. He primed his pistol, aimed it down at Izuku, and smiled.

“I should kill you here and now,” he grinned. “Oh, I should, I should— but it’s my own stupid fault for pushing you so hard when I knew what you were.”

He kicked Izuku between his legs, then— not with all of his strength, but with enough that Izuku was sick with the pain of it. 

“You’re a mad dog, Izuku Midoriya— just like me. You’ve got rage pent up inside you, and you try to tell yourself that you’re a nice guy, a hero.” Stain chuckled. “You are anything but a hero.”

“No,” Izuku moaned, curling in on himself, but Stain pulled him up by his hair, forcing him to look in the small, beady eyes of the captain.

“Look at what you’ve done, plowboy— you just killed the man that was trying to help you. You did so for no other reason than that you were angry with me, that you wanted to make me stop,” he grinned. “Chisaki is going to pay money for you, plowboy, and you’re going to fight for him.”

For one, brief moment a spark of hope shot through Izuku— Would he be released if he made a deal? Would it be possible to somehow bargain his skills for his freedom?— but then Stain clarified, and like a rock, his heart sank to the pit of his stomach. 

“You’ll be a star in the ring, I can already tell— you’ll beat a man to death with your bare hands if it means surviving long enough to get back to your lass.”

Stain shoved him away by his head, and Izuku thought he had never wanted to die more.

“No one will bet on you to start, mind. You look so weak and puny that it makes me sick— but then they’ll see. They’ll understand what you are just like I do, and you’ll make men rich.”

Izuku, horrified at this vision of the future, turned and tried to flee— but when he did, he tripped, his foot catching on the leg of the man he had killed only moments before. He vomited then, spewing his guts out on the floor of the surgery, and Stain laughed once more. 

“Pathetic,” he said. “Stand up, plowboy. I’m going to sew up your face myself, and then you'll help me haul the poor bastard up for a proper funeral.”

And that’s just what happened. Numbly, Izuku did as he was directed, following every instruction without complaint. When it was all over, he was walked back to the cargo hold like a dog might be walked to a kennel. Despite the many and insistent questions from the others— What happened? Are you alright? Where did he take you? Why were you gone so long— Izuku sat there in the dark and refused to utter a single word of what had transpired, hoping his companions could not smell the blood on his shirt. Even so, there was some awkward shuffling, and Izuku felt one head drop on one of his shoulders, then a body flop over his feet, and after a moment more of weird, handless touching, another head dropped on his other shoulder, and Izuku realized that the others were trying to comfort him. 

“We’re not going to get out of this alive,” came the soft, feminine voice from earlier, “So if you lot are doing what I think you’re doing, is it alright if I huddle in too?”

Izuku huffed a laugh.

“If it’s alright with the lads, I wouldn’t turn you away,” he said.

Todoroki— who was apparently pressed against his left side, from the vibration Izuku felt— added, “Come on over, love. Misery loves company, and there’s more than enough room.”

And so they all shuffled again, until Izuku felt another body press against his leg, then settle by his hip. A heavy head pressed against his thigh, and Bakugou grunted.

“Oi, bubble butt, move your arse off me.”

Izuku felt the wind from a scoff brush his breeches. 

“My arse is quite nice I’ve been told, and my name is Ochako. If you want something, you can ask me nicely and by my given name.”

“Women,” Bakugou grumbled. “No sense of personal space between the lot of you.”

“Men,” Ochako shot back. “No brain between the lot of you— and if you’re not careful, hotshot, I’ll give you a cuddle.”

“Don’t touch me, bitch— ” 

It was too late then. Izuku felt Ochako shift, and her head landed with a thud on what Izuku could only have assumed to be Bakugou’s thigh instead.

“Oi!”

“You’re warm,” Ochaco said softly, her voice changing its color to something more tender. “How are you so warm?”

“I run hot,” Bakugou returned, as sheepishly as Izuku had ever heard him speak, and Ochako let out a little laugh.

“So you do.”

There was one last shuffle, and Izuku heard Ochako give a satisfied little sigh. If Izuku had to guess, he’d say that Bakugou had adjusted to press more of his hot skin against her, and Izuku was abruptly, absurdly jealous of the comfort he took from the woman between them, whose aforementioned bubble butt was now pressed against Izuku. 

He missed (Y/N). 

He missed home.  

He wished he had never left the farm.

I will come back to you, he swore, remembering sweet smiles, the soft curves of her body, and what he had refused her. I will come back.

“That’s awful,” said the little girl, rubbing her eyes. “Really bad.”

The mother nodded, but a smile teased at the corner of her mouth. 

“I think we had better stop,” she said. “Someone is getting sleepy.”

Her daughter shook her head, though she yawned.

“We can’t end there,” said the girl. “That’s the bad part! We have to keep going until we get to the good part.”

The good part was a good ways away yet— but even so, the mother supposed it was better to tell a whole story than half of one. 

“Very well,” she said, “but we’ve got to leave Izuku there for now. We’ve got to meet someone new.”

“Humperdinck!”

The mother laughed. 

“Yes, Humperdinck. While Izuku was languishing in Gildur’s captivity, the Prince of Florin had his own ideas about what was to be done about the war, and how Florin was losing it… ”

***

“We’re losing,” said Prince Humperdinck, looking at the map spread out before him. 

“Well, yes,” said Count Rugen, the prince’s closest advisor. 

“We should not be losing, Count. We outnumber them three to one, and our navy is vastly superior to—”

“Yes, well, the men’s morale is low,” the Count replied, glancing meaningfully at the prince. “They’ve somehow gotten it in their head that Florin is the aggressor in this war.”

Which, of course, it was. 

“Preposterous,” said Humperdinck. “Everyone knows of Gildur’s crimes against the crown.”

The two of them had taken great pains to orchestrate them, after all.

“I am well aware, Your Highness. Even so, the men may possibly feel that this is a dispute better settled between two men than two countries.”

Humperdinck sniffed. Foolish peasants, getting ideas.

“Then we must convince them otherwise.”

“Of course, Highness.”

“I presume you have a suggestion for how to achieve this?”

“If Your Highness will permit me,” the count replied, “I would like to suggest that you acquire a wife.”

“Interesting,” Humperdinck admitted. “Why?”

“Because,” said the count, “having a woman agree to marry you is proof that you are, in fact, a tolerable being— and, if you choose one from among the people, they will love you for it, because they will believe that you are capable of loving them.”

Humperdinck hummed. 

“Are we in such dire straits? I do abhor the idea of both commoners and marriage.”

“Oh, it wouldn’t be a permanent situation. Gildur would obviously be so outraged by your newfound popularity that they would murder your wife on your wedding night.”

“Obviously.” Humperdinck fiddled with the border of his cape, intrigued. “How long can we afford to fight this war and continue to lose?”

“A year or two, no more.”

Humperdinck nodded, considering. 

“So when would you suggest we commence with this plan?”

“If things do not improve? A year, perhaps. I would begin my search now if I were you, Your Highness.” The count made a face. “It is rather difficult to find a common woman who doesn’t leave a sour taste in the mouths of the esteemed.”

“Very well,” said Humperdinck. “I’ll begin a tour of the kingdom in six month’s time.”

“Wonderful,” said the count. 

The two men looked at each other with matching cheshire grins. Damn, it was good to be a prince.

[liloinkoink]

I wake up and realize belatedly that you asked for my list of trusted techno authors! Let’s go.

hoorayy (author of deviltown)— not a techno or emduo main, but consistently writes pitch-perfect techno in ensemble stuff.

third_crow: also writes ensemble stuff, did an excellent boreal-focused fantasy fic and is now writing a SBI foster au that’s actually nuanced and good? Who knew.

Odaigahara: I see you’ve already mentioned her. Everything she writes is so good. AHHHH.

EmJay_Panziku: the horror fic. The space fic. Somehow it’s not Tommy-centric for once. I am throwing my credit card at the screen. MORE PLZ.

AdrianaintheSnow: if you are okay with Tommy-centric SBI, this is actually good and fun character writing for everyone in that quartet, interesting worldbuilding, soft and cute moments.

Scrolling through my bookmarks like Odaigahara, Odaigahara, Odaigahara again…

Beans_McGee: I think they’ve gone over to hermitcraft now, but they have an unfinished series named Angel teeth that is just some of the best actually funny techno writing around.

Spice_ghouls: haven’t updated in a while so I don’t know if they left the fandom, but some very good emduo.

Inallthingsgoodorbad: okay so yes their most recent work is superhero AU, but it’s a really GOOD one, actually.

Dreamdx (thereisdefinitelyawordforthat): everything they write I must put immediately into my eyeballs. I am throwing my credit card at the screen again.

Fensandmarshes: !!!!! He is so good at every character but his technoooooooo (okay yes I am an awkward autistic but beyond that). Worldbuilding! Voice! Autistic characters!

H_mellohi: they’re more focused on angelduo, but when they write techno or emduo I just relax knowing they are in safe hands.

So for this one the author is anon, but if you search up I Asked For A Monster And You Gave Me A Fairytale, the author has two fics, (both Tommy centric but y’know, you gotta muscle past that I guess in this fandom), one where Tommy goes into the woods to die and gets adopted by a house of monsters, one where Tommy’s a vegan neceomancer used by a cult to bring The Blood God back. They are both very stressed.

Sigh so much of this fandom is Tommy-centric I’m still scrolling—

Okay we all know about findingkairos BUT ALSO FINDINGKAIROS.

OHHH THANK YOU.... i guess i should go grab links for these authors for myself and others hold on lemme--

i dont know hoorayy bc i havent read devil town or anything else by them, but ive heard good things about the fic!

third_crow.. OH TRUST ME. THE BOREAL TRIO FIC, YOU MEAN VISAGE? I KNOW ABOUT VISAGE. ITS MY ALL TIME FAVE DSMP FIC. IM OBSESSED W IT. CANNOT RECOMMEND VISAGE ENOUGH. PLEASE READ VISAGE

i didnt realize how much odaigahara i read until i made that list for that last ask but i really will have to read thru their works purposefully now that its come to my attention. good stuff, quality author

EmJay_Panziku i have read just the space fic (which i absolutely adore) but now that i have their account open i see they have another fic noted, in the tags, as being similar to Sweet Home.. I fucking LOVED that comic!! i followed it for years!! i will be back for this fic For Certain. (i assume this is "the horror fic" you mentuoned)

AdrianaintheSnow ill be honest i just. dont read tommy centric sbi i cant. not my thing. i get bored if techno isnt there and that happens much faster if its tommy instead. HOWEVER if youre ranking this author as being as good as all the other ones that i know in this list then i am sure theyre very good and to my followers who might find this of interest? heres a person to look at. esp if you said their worldbuilding is good, i love fun worldbuilding

Beans_McGee i have read these fics actually theyre fun. i def recommend ppl give the angel teeth series a shot, tho its been a while since i read them so i cant remember specifics anymore

Spice_ghouls ive seen these fics but i havent read them, ill have to check them out!!

Inallthingsgoodorbad i have NOT seen these fics but scrollling thru they look really interesting! i like superhero aus well enough so thats no deterrent, and the snippets of writing used in the summaries on here sound very neat indeed

Dreamdx OH YES. I KNOW THEM. LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR... SO SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN... SO MANY GOOD FICS IN HERE. really nice writing style and really honest and compassionate look at a lot of characters, esp the latter fic's handling of The Fireworks Duo Issues And Problems. its rlly interesting and thoughtful

Fensandmarshes this dude has 400 works. thats insane?? kudos to this author jesus. i dont know if i knew any of their work bc thats So Much to look thru but ill def check this dude out

H_mellohi i trust h with my life. h if you see this i trust you with my life. i love love Love red eggs and ham but i also have read and liked more of their fics but i really need to go back and check out Even More i think

findingkairos. findingkairos

heres a link to that anonymously published fic you mentioned. honestly seems incredibly entertaining as a premise. i dunno i'd personally want to read it but it sounds like an objectively good read

also i want to add to your list, if you dont mind... acuteroses, who ive liked quite a few fics from!

thank you so much or this list!! of the authors of yours i have read, you have fantastic taste

[haeroniel-doliet]

A lil updates and thoughts going on rn! Mostly about art again :') putting it under read more tho bc it got away from me again all rambly lmao

Hooo wheee! Life has been a little busy huh. Finally going to work again even if it is pretty much part time, other hobbies im keeping up with, trying to keep up on life admin and its going almost well! Shame im realizing i havent worked on my drawings in well over a month now 😅

Part of me is slightly dreading going back to them rn bc ive spent hours and hours on them already and they still need many hours before i post them....

You know that one guy on like tiktok/youtube shorts whos a really friendly old artist with a hobbit hole studio and does like 1hr paintings that look incredible? Obviously i dont expect myself being rusty and also not with years and years of experience to do the same but wouldn't that be the dream? To be able to just create and be done and happy with it in just an hour or a few and move on. How sad it is how many things i have started and not finished, outting in hours and hours where it doesnt really make even a super significant difference.

Also its that dinluke positivity week thing (god i hope this doesnt show up in the tag lmao sorry) i was really hyped months ago thinking its great prompts and great time to partake in my favourite fandom especially before february 2023 inevitably changes the scene in some way! But all of a sudden mid november is here and thats kinda terrifying! I have no clear idea for any of them, nothing im like desperate to draw and my current drawing doesnt really fit them either. Im thinking maybe i should try like, giving myself idk 2 hrs max to just make something beginning to end and if i hate it its ok i dont have to post it. But maybe i will and it could be fun! Sure i am too tired to properly do anything but idk, even making one post could give me excitement and hype for things i used to enjoy and something that isnt just real life and like job related.

To be fair i could also go for the much more guaranteed dopamine boost and play a video game ive been thinking of playing again for months. Sure i dunno which to choose and im not like super inclined to anything even tho i would like to play multiple of them again, just playing alone is a little boring i guess.

The more i spend just overthinking the quicker my sunday will be over and ill have to do next week and god knows ill be busy!! I should try drawing bc its there floating in my mind and could be easier to slip in into the day routine to do a little here and there rather than like, playing skyrim for 30 mins loll. Or oblivion bc for some reason ive been missing it. Or battlefront, even tho that is really hard to play without really trying my hardest and getting readjusted to the pace of it

Alright ok im gonna set up my digital art stuff, im gonna challenge myself to sketch something on theme for all the prompts and see what ends up catching my attention. If i can do 1 or even a couple of them thatd be really really neat!

[toestalucia]

eats my hat i went thro my spoilers tag and i miss writing gran regularly so bad theres SO many things i wanna deal more w them still........ i wont talk about msq today but theres a lot i wanna ramble on about......... shakes gbf

SO 1) imma. try to get to what i havent looked at tmrw or so, srry for the delays its been uhhhhh a pretty rough month actually 2) despite saying all that i<3 am planning to catch up to mhyks main story pt2 this week & get on akira (flovverworks) properly again.... akira is still more difficult than gran, but i rly wanna keep w both, writing new media in general has been rly good for gran too i feel

3) ill talk about gbf in the coming days cuz this entire update + a lot of the events weve gotten this yr........my god !

[kayfarafey]

anon bc shy but hi i am here for brry fic recs if you happen to have any….i feel like i’ve read through the entire ao3 tag multiple times at this point, but i love hearing what specific fics people think fondly of 🥺🤲

god so have i babe. ok here's what i got for you. leaving out ones like judicial assistant bvz and yours sincerely bvz because. obviously. you don't need me to tell you they're good.

first of all i've recommended through the nighthawk's eye about ten thousand times before and it's still brry fic of all time if you're a fan of poetic prose and non-linear narratives (aka you are me)

i've also recommended On the Migration Path of a Fruit Bat and i have a moment of silence every day because it hasn't been updated in so long. i miss her.

there's this fic called No Thing in the Night which is a really good fantasy au that i really enjoyed wri-- i mean, reading. so check that one out for sure.

wait sorry i do have to put stop, drop, and drag me into place on this list even though it's nsfw because it's the only brry breathplay fic so. obviously. i refuse to lie about this one i cannot exclude it in good faith

i literally just recc'd We Grow Accustomed to the Dark but i must do it again. i have no contractual obligation and i would even do this if i wasn't mutuals with jay

Abrasions. very satisfying pre-departure fic. chefs kiss.

Reaper's Flower we love a hanahaki fic here at transryunosuke dot tumblr dot com

Goodbye For Now honestly? honestly? i know YOU said you've read through the full tag but if anyone else is reading this and they like brry and they havent read this fic they're a lunatic. fic equivalent of drinking a cold beverage on a hot day. these bitches needed to talk and by god did this author write a feelings powwow to remember.
