It's infuriating isn't it?? The conversations on here and on lsa that I only check once a month (I've been having a very rough month cause I had the state examinations to keep working as a HS teacher in my country and my stress levels have been skyrocketing, I failed the first exam but I think I passed the last one 😭) have focused on how it must be super serious super real the family does like her ... For me -i of course only watched the fan dragging part- the most awful part because of the entitlement it showed was when Scott was like they call me brother-in-law they should come up with something more original... Like maybe someone should write now to him maybe your middle-aged bro should star in a lolita reboot playing Humbert Humbert tho we all know Adrian Lyne would've never hired him... I wonder if that's 'original' enough. Scott is still a literal nobody in HW saying stupid stuff about his brother's fans, that he used to love and bait on his cameo vids if memory serves me well. Honestly the strike comes just in time so they keep their mouths shut. He said the media wasn't negative, the media their PR firms pay lol, and also the general public while there was a jezebel article questioning how much of a cliche Chris has become and tons of people have called him a creep without knowing half of the story (insta). I mean they're prob the same people who laughed their arses off when the gene Kelly thing was announced because they know Chris can't pull that. I'm baffled at the levels of snobbery while they're giving jersey shore, trailer park white trash teas. And for the people who say Alba isn't racist because it's her friends, erm, there's still her very questionable filmography (what she does isn't pedo baiting -that, to my knowledge, it's when adult people pose online as minors to attract criminals -, it's 'pedo catering'), and if those roles were the only ones she was getting maybe she should've stopped acting. It's not like the world is sleeping on a Meryl Streep with her. Very sorry for my long rant, feel free to reply or not and many thanks for being anti EIAA because the days after that stupid wedding were truly annoying. Very sorry for the terrible hate and bullying you got from beyond ignorant anons. Stay strong, you're very appreciated,🤗

Damn, girl, you said all this with your whole chest! Hope your exams went okay.

I think these next few months are going to be very quiet, given his deactivation and lack of new projects, so I think his PR team is going to jump at anything to keep his name circulating. We may be in for a couple of months of total stupidity when it comes to the articles that get pushed out.

[wavesmp3]

some of my fave rbs or asks or comments ive received... thank you all :) - no need for anyone to respond or anything to this, just really wanted to put this together more for myself - i doubt most of your remember these but i do heh [more under the cut, and perhaps lil notes too depending on the comment]

the first three!! major huge moments for me. from sha (@dinoshaur) one of the first comments i received on a work that wasn't fanfic exactly. meant the world to me then, and still does now. | from @redevenir the very very first comment (i believe) i ever ever received on the sea is yours to take,, it's been nearly 4 years since i first posted that piece and people still somehow find it, and it all started with that rb | and from choco ! @chocosvt one of the very first comments/rbs i got when i started properly writing on tumblr in 2020, this got the ball rolling on what became (and still is) such a dear passion/hobby of mine (also also can you believe i still use the mlist banner that choco oh so kindly made for me ages ago LOL its beautiful, i'll never get rid of it as long as this blog exists

and moment of silence for my old url :0

the first one... when another line of mine is quoted in another piece of mine's comments... head in hands forever. 2/3 of these were left by @gracefulweather (one for sure is, and i think the uquiz comment was also left by them but not sure) but thank you either way sherri!! | the second sc tbh i don't remember who left it but it was on tsiytt and it made me feel like i achieved something in crafting that world. although i may never revisit that world in writing, i revisit it often in my mind.

flower anon your comments meant so much to me, i hope youre still out there somewhere doing well :) | and to the other anon that left the second one, i was speechless and honored to reach that ask

@hhjs amal's comments have always made me feel like im doing something otherworldly which isn't true at all but i will forever love rereading their tags. also just amal's mind in general, i wanna pick your brain forever

n! i already made an emo missing n post but here are some comments from them lol. and the last one!!! me and water <3333 when people starting associating me with water/ocean/sea/waves too <333333

@heavenlyhaechan zahra!!! there were so many ones i could have put here but this one seemed to sum it all up. you get me :p if you see this, i hope you've been well :))

@dapingu the first and third one are just ones that make me giggle still LOL and then the second one is one that i hold so so close to me cause i had absolutely no idea if anyone would read that piece but then you did ! and you left this comment even after the fact too! i was so touched. i feel like i should personally apologize for making no moves to continue the series (and probably also for deactivating the gifts and sins blog) BUT thank you nonetheless. and as a added bonus you never failed to make me laugh so thank you also for that

@thepixelelf ursa!!!! the first one is horribly cut off but is prob one of my fave notes you ever left on a fic of mine (battling also with that one sunwoo recovery files style inspired drabble) and then ofc i couldn't not mention the 'boo you whore' comment :D also so glad to have you on this site still and to have your friendship and to look at bees and bears and think of you :) you mean the world to me

@kabira manx i think the fact that there are so many screenshots here speaks for itself like... i just simply could not bring myself to pick one !!! i am so lucky to have found you on here. i think in a way you helped me find out what i was good at and what i liked about my own writing before i even figured it out myself <3

@sagescaffeinemania the first one made me laugh and the second one makes me emo. feels like a declaration of love in way but i don't mean that in a weird way LOL i think your support on oasis singlehandedly introduced so many others to that piece, how can i ever thank you for that? and i apologize if i haven't even attempted a thank you yet

@cuppasunu KYU your bulleted comments on my silly long fics always meant so much to me ,, i know its been a very very long time but i hope you've been well

@blossom-hwa lina! best for last some might say. i mean you must know how much that oasis rb meant to me right? because it means the world. i think you calmed every doubt i had about that piece and lifted even higher everything i loved about it too. and the first sc esp, i couldn't have said it all better myself. that scene felt like i risk when i was writing it and im so glad it played out the way i was hoping it to and not the dreadful other way lol | and as for the second screenshot. really i think i love that comment because of how you wrote it more than what you said about the piece if that makes sense. one can tell from that little paragraph alone what a writer(!) you are. i love rereading that comment but i think i mainly just love reading your writing lol (dont think im not making my way through worn out soles)

That Timm guy has apparently deactivated his twitter again. I’m pretty sure he’s just doing it for attention now after he decided to be pals with CowBuild or whatever that was.

Pffft. Sounds about right, nonny. Guess my, like, 20 notes text post really hit him in the feels. That's called ego 🤡 but fr. What should've made him sick was realizing how he excused cowbuild like that. Love how he let Mack run around calling the paywall thing "an LGBT issue because Timm is gay" but immediately forgot about Cow's transphobia. Interesting.

smh... it doesn't surprise me one bit. It does feel like a continuation. Racism, martyrdom... Reuploading all that cc he didn't go through the trouble of getting himself made him feel real special. But everyone I talk to seems to think he's a clown so I don't think he has the reputation he thinks he does...

First of all, this man did not get sued lmfao. Do people know how difficult it is to sue someone in another country? Afaik it's like, near impossible and extremely expensive. Plus, no lawyer would take a fucking DMCA case concerning EA's intellectual property being claimed as Cowbuild's. Their policy is very clear that your CC doesn't belong to you and can be re-uploaded at anytime by anyone without your permission. Either Timm made it up, or he thinks Cowbuild just saying "i'm suing you" means he's in actual legal trouble. But, you're right. For the sake of clout, he re-uploaded all the cc we already fucking had under his own name and brought all that shit down on himself. Bc it wasn't about bringing free cc to people or spiting cowbuild, it was about being an important figurehead.

👆 all of this, milu. Since I haven't seen cowbuild say anything publicly, I'm inclined to think the conversation never even happened lol. But if it did happen, it's a real shame. Like you said, that wasn't nearly the only issue there, and we already know there was a whole doxxing ring and everyone involved should be considered complicit. The way all of that was just brushed aside was... well, sickening to be honest. @milugameplay

Edit: I forgot one 🤡

Would it be out of character for cowbuild? Probs not. Do I think he's important enough to be paid off? Lol no.

[mitsyuu]

tbh i think you should probs should just go inactive for a while,,,,it’s fine if you really wanna deactivate but i’m still here and i like talking to you on here

in other notes, do you have a discord or something? sorry if this is sudden shshdhsjjs /nf

yeahh that’s true actually.. maybe not then!!! i do have disc i forgot btw i keep forgetting if i listed it in my rentry augh

[pawfuu]

to the prev anon, nobody is asking for pictures of hir. it has nothing to do with how shi looks but instead the AMOUNT of ethnicities shi claims. korean, japanese, chinese, vietnamese, palestinian, jewish, zapotec, nahua, indian, and filipino, just to name a few (there's prob more but since hir acct is deactivated i can't check). it's literally impossible to have substancial cultural connections to each of those cultures - not enough to have a name from them and be able to coin genders on behalf of them. i mean thats so many cultures that you couldnt even have a great grandparent for each of them. its ridiculous and it should be clear to anyone with critical thinking skills that shi is racefaking.

Heads up for this user

If you're into hollow knight or homestuck (specifically intermission) please block the user diamxndsdroog They have falsely accused me (and a friend) of being a predator/groomer/abuser, been creepy towards my friends and to this day never publicly apologized for it. It put me under a lot of stress, trauma and affected my mental health to this day, so I rather not see this person around ever again (Proof; Warning for mentions of grooming and abuse in the post) Sharing/reblogging is very much appreciated

announcement regarding lovin’ it!

hi! i’m gonna try to make this quick bc i have a rly bad headache right now and i don’t think anyone would want to read a whole rant LOL

i’m discontinuing lovin’ it!

why? well, reason number one is that i’m starting to think the plot would fit a written fic better. am i going to write the fic though? no. to be very honest, i’m over the entire thing. i came across a prompt and remember being very excited to make smth based on it. so i started planning the smau. this was the start of october. i made the tweets and messages on and off for about a month before stuff came up, and i had to quit. bc i still liked the premise, i began making the smau again in december when i had time, and posted a masterlist on my old blog. then i deactivated. that makes it two times i tried making the smau and quit. still, i tried to go forward w it on my new blog and i was still fairly excited when i pre-wrote all the chapters in march within two days but now ,, i just don’t care LOL i barely remember to post and only do so when i happen to come across someone in the notifs and see them liking a chapter and go “oh fuck i have a smau i should probs update” 👎 plus the plot doesn’t seem that good either now. it actually seems rly lame like WHAT was i thinking to make a smau based on it 💀 i don’t like to discontinue stuff bc it feels like i’ve failed ppl but it’s been 8 months since i began the smau and my commitment issues say i’m DONE. i don’t wanna have smth incomplete and that i’m not particularly proud of anymore on my blog so i will be deleting the masterlist and all the chapters soon (mostly tomorrow itself).

thank you to everyone who supported the smau! i’m rly sorry for disappointing and failing you guys ☹️ maybe in the future i’ll make a different smau w a plot that i don’t get sick of and actually manage to complete 🥲

sorry for tagging everyone in the taglist but announcement things 💔

Origin things

My personal favorite poet is a tumblr dude called taciturntremblings. He deactivated probs 5+ years ago, now you can mostly only dig up like scattered ghost blog bits. I think he was a teacher from the mid-west, but young like mid-late-20s? And liked pop-punk. I was really drawn to him because it felt like all of his work was so inspired from one grand romance or reaching back for that person, which I kinda relate to even more now. I haven't read any others that strike me like he did, he was special. Crazy beautiful connections, like each line really simple, elegant, unique, naturally smooth, in cascading color. I think the moment in modern poetry is something grand with such wild voices but I've never read anyone who hit me like his shit.

I haven't dug very deep the times I have. There's something about deactivating and not wanting to be seen I guess. I also stole 2 of his lines in school and felt so low. I didn't realize for years until looking up his work again, they were just workshop drafts, but even in college a lot of my poems were still tied to melodies that bled all over. It just didn't click. I felt so foolish, like I've never felt that way before. But I miss his work. I hope he's alive and making things, changed my life

(These line breaks are butchered. But words should be damn close)

Two lines I stole: "I paint my scenes alone, and in a well-lit room." "Tomorrow queued on some celestial playlist."

Ending I won't forget: "We have to march with our knees pumping to the sky. Laugh with our hearts stuffed in our mouths. Dance with unabashed carelessness and ambiguity."

oh! hi~ been a while~

i’m sorry that i said i was doing a short hiatus and then........never came back. at least, to tumblr/the sims community. i still been on twitter and instagram and twitch and stuff!

it’s funny because occasionally i would get emails about asks, emails about new followers etc and i’m like huh i really should either do something with my blog or deactivate it. but! i sometimes come back and read all the sweet old messages, read my embarrassing old gameplays and remember the fun i had just learning how to express myself online and come out of my shell.

i mean as embarrassing as i think of myself from only a few years ago, i really was an am super grateful for all the people i met and positive experiences I had! without one day deciding to run a sims blog and make gameplays and make edits and talk to people and interact i wouldn’t have: - met some of my first real internet friends - found my best friends in the world (all international too) - found my current partner (of 2 years now~!) - started to feel more confidence and less anxiety sharing myself and my art online - been able to start my online store for my art

cuz I was really in a pivotal place in my life when i started my blog! I’m sure this sounds cringe bc like...its a sims blog lol BUT I was a fresh uni graduate, i was in a relationship that i had been in most of my adult life and it was about to end, i had 2 irl friends and that was the length of my social circle. it’s so weird to see how far I’ve come and how far away all of that stuff was (and i only stopped posting here in feb2019 that’s only 1 pandemic worth of time plus a sprinkle).

anyway, last night i was like i should just wipe the blog. but then i read it... for a couple hours. and I dont have the heart to wipe it! i do actually still play the sims in my off time, which is really super rare nowadays (i work a day job and run my store) and i thought about dumping random screens from when i play just somewhere that isn’t gonna annoy everyone in my discord server lol. i’ll prob tidy stuff up here, prob change the url (used to be geekism, then simbytes. my main @ everywhere is minabytes, so for simplicity’s sake) ummm yeah~! this post is mostly for me, i’ll read it again in another 3 years and see how much further i am!

thanks for hanging around, if you read this! sorry to anyone who missed my stuff, and if you dont wanna hang around for once in a blue moon screenshots then it’s no biggie! but thanks for being there then and being here now 💗

[kiefbowl]

how do I get tumblr famous like you? 😳

tbh post a lot have on anon reblog your own posts you think should make numbers until they do be funny but keep your nose out stuff you don’t know jack about but stir the pot for drama a little bit here and there put some memes on your blog appear open and honest about your life while keeping most details to yourself follow lots of people so you end up with a small network of mutuals and most important have some sort of icon/url brand that’s easy to remember and fun/funny (then don’t change it) + write in your true cadence even if it’s messy. It ends up being not so hard you could prob do it in a few months. you really just need one big post and then it gets a lot easier (so use tags to start). But think long and hard before you try the only way out is deactivation. your notes will break and the worst people in the world will say the stupidest shit you’ve ever seen at you. once you have enough rep though you can just ignore them. I literally answer 1 in every 10 asks I get if that at this point

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

sometime in this last week, or this week coming, my blog has turned/turns 10. god. a decade old. a whole ass chunk of my life i’ve spent on this hellsite. when i began on here, i was a kid. a lost, lonely, depressed and anxious 15/16 year old kid. a kid scared of her future. a kid confused about her future. what to do for uni. to change schools or not??? to do drama/acting at uni or english/philosophy or to move 8hrs away to another regional uni to “escape” her “washed up, dead end hometown” that was so typical of all the pop-punk music that she was listening to at the time.

she was a tad overdramatic, loud, “funny” (as described by her school friends) and terribly forgetful in regards to homework and school assignments. she was angry at the world, most especially the catholic school she was fucking sick and tired of attending. but she was convinced that since she was the so-called “funny girl”, that she simply couldn’t be depressed or anxious. she believed herself unloveable because she didn’t look like a weird mixture of hayley williams and emo-pop queen lights. but now, i no longer believe that i have to look like the women that i looked up to in the ~emo scene~. fuck beauty standards. i am loveable.

in the years since joining tumblr, i’ve managed to get through business college, my undergrad degree and, well, failed out of postgrad due to obvious burnout and health issues amongst other things. although i’ve lost many friends irl and many followers/mutuals online on here. for those who’ve stuck around to see me get through all of this, thank you. to all the friends/casual mutuals that have since deactivated or only followed me for a short time then unfollowed; thank you.

like obviously i was never/have never been a massive popular blog on here, like thebootydiaries or vampireapologist (who has since deactivated a couple of months ago) with tens of thousands of followers. my follower count is still close to the 8,000 range at 7,892. obviously that’s still a lot of people (and of course, porn bots lmao and many, many non-active blogs), enough like one super old post from like 2012 tumblr pointed out, enough for a small to medium sized city or town, or something like that. i don’t know how many people i’ve really reached. i really don’t know how i actually amassed this small army of people.

i am aware though, that on other platforms like snapchat (lmao does anyone even use it anymore in 2021???)/instagram/youtube/tiktok etc, i’d PROBABLY be considered as some type of ~micro influencer (🤮🤮)~. hell, i actually had a bot slide into my notes about being one on here on this hellsite back in 2019. i don’t know if i’ve ever actually ~influenced~ anyone on here with my shitposts (when i started making some) or my personal posts. i don’t know my reach. even though, now, i do occasionally get featured on buzzfeed listicles (although pay me buzzfeed along with the OPs of those original embedded posts), i still don’t know how many people i’ve reached… and even with my very occasional checks of google analytics lmao. on top of this, grappling with the loss of followers at times is much, much easier than it was when i began on here and the first few years following that. i know that my follower count doesn’t determine my worth and stuff.

but over these 10 years, i have grown. i turn 26 this year. back in 2011, 15/16yo me never thought she’d be here. she was partially down the suicidal thoughts hole, with things about ~picturing her funeral and wondering who’d bother to turn up. if only she could pretend to be dead for a day to see who’d give a fuck~ and 16-18yo me was defs down it with her HSC hellscape thoughts in 2012/2013. that 3rd floor tafe/tech women’s bathroom window drop and the thought of scarring her class for life (and that cool dude from catholic school that she crushed on who ended up at tafe with her) with jumping out of it onto the concrete below. instead, she just posted on fb about ~being a failure~ etc which ultimately did lose her a bunch of facebook friends lmao. it was practically the same thing. her mental breakdown after the end of her hsc, where she let her earrings go green and get infected in her ears because “fuck self care, bc what the fuck is it??? i’ll never get better! let me fucking wallow in my self loathing bc it’s the only thing that i’m fucking good at!!!” so i no longer have my ears pierced. oh! it was just all too fucking much!!

i am happier today. i no longer have those semi-suicidal thoughts. hell, i almost died in 2020 from a fucking bowel aneurysm, after my stomach tumour excision surgery. that forced me to put things into perspective. i appreciate the little things . i appreciate the very few friends that i actually have. yes. i’m still depressed and anxious. some days are still shitty and hard. but nowhere as hard and shitty as they were back when i began on here 10 years ago.

how the fuck last 10 years have gone past, with my ass on here; clearing out my blog and caring more about doing that than my uni work (lmao whoops); having made some lifelong friends both internationally (from the US) and long distance domestically in australia, it’s been a long ride; i honestly have no fucking idea. obviously over these past 10 years, i’ve debated with myself over and over and over again whether i should delete/deactivate this account or not. would it make me healthier??? more than likely. but then when i have meltdowns or just inner ramblings i have to get out somewhere, where else to post??? on fb?? obvs not. it’s “attention seeking” or the like on there. no one will read them. no one will resonate. but on here??? even if i got/get one “like” in the notes or one “yo i feel this” response in the tags or replies, it feels like i’ve reached someone??? okay yeah. i know this place IS NOT therapy and i’m not using my followers as amateur (or probs even actual professional) armchair psychologists…. which is a thing i think people need to stop doing internet-wide: but that’s a whole other post that i reblogged a few days ago lmao. i really need to get another therapist, actually lmao.

but it’s the community i’ve found hard to leave. i have what feel like friends, when i’ve never been employed (still as of yet); and when all of my irl friends/acquaintances are working and doing the whole ~adulting~ and ~grown up life~ thing right. it’s also the frenzied rabidness of spite with hating staff’s godawful ideas. the memes. oh the memes. and also the RaWrInG 20s XD emo scene reemergence on here that’s kept me here. the messy petty drama from time to time of big blogs fighting it out.

this place really is bizarre and fun sometimes. and also the fact that i can still hide behind the ridiculous “roaring pikachu” URL that i made all those years ago. i am anonymous. it’s freeing. but on fb it’s all like “WHY WONT YOU ADD A BANNER IMAGE AND TELL US 20 FUN FACTS ABOUT YOU!!!!!???? LET PEOPLE WHO HAVENT SPOKEN TO YOU IN 10 YEARS KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU BECAUSE WE’RE ALL FRIENDS HERE!!!” and the same goes for Corporate Hellscape Facebook™️ (linkedin) but in the professional sense instead. y’all know fuck all about me really. besides my posts. and i love that and live for that. okay yeah. y’all know more about my mental health than my fb feed obvs… which is probably a terribly unfortunate thing. but still.

over the last 10 years then, my superiority complex for being ~so original and intelligent~ or whatever the fuck i had in high school, has all but ebbed away. i’m not that smart just because i went to uni. hell, i literally did NONE of my in-class work and none of my philosophy readings in uni….. so i have fuck all idea of how i got through undergrad like that lmao. i’m not original when so many people can articulate the same thoughts that i have, but like, sometimes better, on a post (even though sometimes/most of the time the Tumblr User Hot Takes Tuesday™️ takes on here are fucking awful lmao). but still. originality is not something i really have anymore. or really had in the first place lmao.

so will i deactivate after these 10 years, like i’ve been saying for so, so long??? i honestly have no idea. but just know. thanks guise. have a nice gpoy selfie day XD. grab your wands. your tardises. grab your war paint. grab your whatever the fuck other fandom specific stuff that was one that hella cringe post from 2011 til 2015 random tumblr. that relic is as old as time itself. just as this mysterious roaring pikachu is for someone whose too loyal to leave this W E B B E D H E L L S I T E that’s just as much of a train wreck as she is. lmao.

[chao-studios]

hi, I only have your mod and it doesn't always work properly. very rarely will my game start up and work, most of the time I'll have the perpetual loading screen; it won't even get to the sega logo. this results in me having to restart my computer because it totally breaks steam and won't close the game, even with task manager. i also have a solid computer, so it's not having poor hardware. how do I fix this? I've freshly installed the game and mod. it's not an issue with missing files or the way I installed the mod.

I don’t really have much to go on, and I know you say you have it installed correctly, but its prob best I give you the correct locations anyway just in case. So ill just give the basics

Make sure you have the required files in order for mod loader to function, which is the visual studios and framework stuff found here in required downloads in the description: https://gamebanana.com/tools/6333 (if you try to install them it should say if you already have them or not, in which case you can skip the ones that you don’t have)

Make sure your mod loader is installed correctly and that your mods are in the correct place. Your mod loader is installed directly in the sonic adventure 2 folder, and your mods go into your “mods” folder

If you have more mods then just Chao World Extended, ensure it’s at the top of the mod load order. Some mods are able to go above it, but its highly suggested to keep it at top if you don’t know which ones do. DON’T use “save and play” hit “save” and start the game manually through steam or a shortcut.

Also check if your game is able to run without loader installed (just hit “uninstall loader” in the picture above). This will keep your mod loader but have it deactivated. If it runs fine, try having loader installed but with no mods enabled at all. If it crashes then something is wrong with your mod loader, which would be my first and second tips

Problem Child AU

TL;DR: A Dad For One AU where in Izuku’s a chaotic good homeless runaway attending U.A. while hiding out from his abusive super villain dad.

Side note: This was way longer than I expected it to be (1K+ words), so I might do a part two later on down the line.

Okay, so Dad For One is a thing in this AU and when Izuku turns four, he and Inko are brought to AFO’s hideout so that Ujiko can run tests on Izu to see if he inherited All For One

He didn’t, he’s Quirkless like he was at the start of the series, but Tomura becomes quite fond of Izuku and Inko while they’re there and Inko winds up finding out that Hisashi Midoriya = AFO so they just end up,,, staying there

AFO is FAR from a good dad - he only romanced Inko as part of a side project to see if he could replicate All For One and only keeps Izuku around ‘cause Tomura likes him, Izu might as well be his pet in AFO’s eyes

At first, Izuku actually likes living with AFO. He likes that they’re a family together - him, his mom, his dad, big brother Tomura, and Mr. Kurogiri.

But, Izuku’s a smart kid. He begins to notice things. He begins to notice the pure, unrestrained hatred that his dad has for heroes that he’s passing down to Tomura, how Tomura seems to see Dad more like a god than as a dad. He begins to notice the way his mom’s eyes slightly widen in fear whenever Izuku goes to spend alone time with Dad. He begins to notice that his dad’s doctor spends a weird amount of time around the house. How him and Dad always talk about something called “Nomus”. Conversations that, while Izuku’s still too young to understand the science talk behind them, still manage to send a shiver down his spine.

There are bright spots, though. Tomura is just the greatest big brother that Izuku could ask for and Kurogiri always treats him with such kindness that Izuku sees him as part of his family. But the dark areas just get bigger with time.

Eventually, AFO figures out that Izuku’s onto him and things just go down from there. It gets to the point where the thought of AFO giving him a hug terrifies Izuku way more than if AFO were to just hit him.

What finally pushes Izuku into running away is the AFO-All Might fight. Seeing his now faceless father laugh like an utter lunatic and brag about how he weakened All Might, how he kickstarted the slow, lingering death of the Symbol of Peace, even while heavily injured himself just proves too much for Izuku to bear. He’s been devising a plan to run away for a year now, the fight is just the catalyst he needs to go through with it.

So he does. Thus begins the chronicles of Izuku Midoriya: Street Rat

Izuku constantly moves from place to place, never staying in the same place for long. He also develops a somewhat flexible sense of morality. He’s not morally ambiguous or some gritty anti-hero though, just even more chaotic good than canon. 

Stealing is still a no-no for him, so he takes up any and all odd jobs that are capable of being done by a kid in the area he’s currently staying in for money that he can use for essentials. He becomes good at living on an incredibly small budget.

He passes off his talent for analyzing Quirks as a Quirk analyzing Quirk since Quirkless people are so rare.

Izuku also gets good at moving in back alleys, avoiding hero patrol patterns and sneaking through villain territory during this time. If he runs into a villain, they could turn him in to AFO. If he runs into a hero, they’ll try to help him and should AFO ever come for him, Izuku… Well, he would never forgive himself if AFO did anything to hurt them. (He also doesn’t approach a shelter or the Bakugous for the same reason.)

That being said, Izuku also winds up having to lose heroes a fair amount of time, so he gets pretty good at outmaneuvering people. 

Izuku develops a habit of keeping no more personal items than can be kept in a backpack that he carries with him at all times

He also starts writing his Quirk analysis's down in code, a habit he picked up living with AFO. After all, you never know when someone might be spying on you. He also sleeps with a knife under his pillow, another habit derived from AFO’s shitty parenting.

He’s a l w a y s ready to write in his Quirk notebooks. He tries to keep himself from muttering (you never know when someone might be listening) most of the time, but he slips up whenever he gets really excited.

Izuku still wants to become a hero, so he heads to Musutafu when he becomes old enough for U.A.’s entrance exam. He moves into an abandoned warehouse relatively near U.A.

Izuku gets a part-time job so that he can get more money for things and spends almost all of his time when he’s not there studying for the written part of the U.A. entrance exam (since, while he was being homeschooled by Kurogiri when he was living with AFO, he hasn’t had any sort of education since he ran away so the written portion is his largest hurdle for getting in)

Izuku does a good job in the practical portion of the exam, maneuvering around the robots and pressing their deactivation switches. He barely passes the written portion. He gets in.

All of Izuku’s classmates notice things about him. How he’s always carrying his backpack around, like he’s almost afraid that he’ll lose it if he’s away from it. The fact that his analysis Quirk can be wrong, something that’s incredibly rare for Quirks of that type. How he’s walks on eggshells when around All Might. All of this, while it doesn’t make his class like him any less, certainly mark Izuku as an odd individual in their eyes.

Also, since the only person around Izuku’s age when he was living with AFO was Tomura and how after he ran away, he never really interacted much with his peers, Izuku is incredibly rusty when interacting with his schoolmates. Teachers? No prob. People his own age? His has little to no social skills, someone help him.

Because of the timeline of when Izuku came to live with AFO, him and Bakugou are still friends. However, Bakugou quite understandably wants to know where Izuku’s been all this time and what his deal is, which Izuku can’t tell him for obvious reasons. As a result, there’s a bit of tension between them.

Izuku did not see All Might being a teacher at U.A. coming. While Izuku still heavily admires All Might, he was planning on doing so from a distance, on account of being the son of All Might’s arch-enemy and all. As a result, as mentioned above, Izuku is incredibly nervous around him. Izuku also feels misplaced guilt regarding All Might’s weakening since AFO is his dad, so he tends to apologize for it. This is complicated by the fact that All Might has absolutely no idea that AFO is Izuku’s dad or that Izuku knows that he’s weaker, leading to him being very Concerned.

All Might, shortly after the USJ incident, sobbing on the phone to Gran Torino: Young Midoriya said “I’m sorry”, Torino! “I’M SORRY”! He apologized for being threatened by villains! Who hurt him?!?!?

So All Might tries to reach out to Izuku, telling him that he’s there whenever he needs to talk. However, that just sets Izuku on edge because “hE kNoWs”. So All Might tries to reach out to Izuku as Small Might, which just freaks out Izuku even more. Basically Dad Might trying to dad while Izuku does his best to avoid him at all costs.

Izuku gets dubbed a problem child much earlier than in canon and the phrase becomes pretty much synonymous with him, hence the name of the AU. Problem Child is to Izuku Midoriya as Symbol of Peace is to All Might.
