#oh whoops i went on a tangent there

[emathyst9]

Got another dentist appointment today at least I didn't wake up last minute this time

Now that I've been before I'm not too intimidated by going, but at the same time, I have a very irrational fear of getting lectured since I was supposed to be properly brushing my teeth, which I suddenly burned out of doing

I shouldn't be burning out from doing basic things to take care of myself, but I guess it's happening because I never had a proper habit of it in the first place

You know I blame that one doctor that lectured me, told me all the stuff I needed to work on, and did not help me with advice on how to do it

And gave me an outdated mental health because I was 17, which was full of inaccurate bullshit

She's the reason I'm so terrified of going to any kind of doctor now

[ohnomytummy]

Ok so let's say if I woke up in the middle of the night with an urgent, cramping belly ache and I knew exactly what caused it (icecream, a large cheese pizza (I'm lactose intolerant) and a bottle of coke) and you got to do whatever you want to my belly (punishment hint hint nudge nudge)... what would you do?

Well first, I don’t know if you assumed I’d be sending you to bed with a plug in, but if not you need to re-organize your thoughts ;)

I’m also assuming I’d get to watch you devour your huge meal of dairy and grease and sugar and drool over your growing gut, knowing you’ll be suffering from your choices very shortly. You’d start eating with the plug in btw…gotta show that belly who’s boss, after all.

(This may get long idk)

When you finish, you’re claiming nothing but a full bloated stomach, but I can hear your insides squirm and whine from across the table. I haven’t touched you. You fed yourself like the good eater you are, and I glued my eyes to you while you ate and ate. I know whats in your belly, and I know how fast ice cream runs through you when it’s the ONLY dairy you’ve eaten that day. I can see your eyes pleading. Your tummy hurts already, so so badly…so fast…you ate everything so fast…oh dear…

Your act isn’t on for long though, and a few minutes later you’re burping and moaning and telling me how you can feel your tummy sloshing over the mound of pizza inside you. I urge you to bed, changing your tight (but unbuttoned) jeans to my loosest boxers…and even they struggle to contain your pizza gut. As I’m helping you slide them on, I hear a different kind of…slipping. Your lower belly whines so deeply, you might as well have a river in your colon. It’s so close to your plug, but it can’t escape—moments later a wet, rattling burp comes from your lips. “Sounds like that cheese is coming to the surface,” I tease, letting you waddle shirtless to the bed.

At first I let you attempt to sleep aka lie to yourself. Your tossing and turning. I’m waiting for you to…and quickly you do: grasp my hand, moaning “baby…my tummy…” and an arm moves loosely in front of your bulbous belly, protecting it’s cramping mess from more pain (or our signal…sadistic of us…).

I first kiss you, letting you lean into the moment with me while I climb on top of your hips. As we kiss I slowly move my hands over the solid food filled mound that is your top belly, caressing your skin and running my nails lightly over your most sensitive spots. But when my hands reach their peak, I break the kiss, grin gently down at you, and push. Hard.

You grab my wrists and moan almost loudly enough to block the sound of your belly rushing up your throat, forcing you to gag (you felt so awful climbing into bed, you barely noticed the towels I laid all over your side of the bed and the floor). My weight forces your legs still, so you have to use your upset belly’s minimal muscles to twist your body as you hic, sputter and burp the sick from your mouth and onto the dirty brown towel below.

As you finish puking, I kiss your neck and shoulders and sides gently. When the last of round one has left your lips you turn to collapse back on the bed while your hands achingly rub your still massive gutt. “You made me throw up.” You say cutely…cluelessly…full of tummy ache. I chuckle at your empty, pain and lust filled mind, while your belly continues to omit ugly sounding gurgles. “Uh oh,” you mutter before turning back over the side of the bed and puking up round two, the floor now a clear mess. Your mess…

This goes on for a bit. The puking. Hurling. Stomach ache filled with hard tummy rubs and a mix of moans, pleasure and pain at war in your belly.

But then, the gurgles change…they get…deeper. Lower, more drawn out. And your hands are now gripping the space between your boxer hem and belly. “No…” Your legs curl into your tummy as a cramp rips through you. “Uh-uh baby,” I say, as I force your legs down and uncurl your body. “You let me take care of that.”

You give me that soft, pained, wet look: “Yes, sir.”

And the game begins.

For the next…however long you can last…I meet each of your horrible cramps with a deep belly rub, a hard push, encouragement, if you will. I cuddle you big spoon style and you hold my hands to your belly. Our legs lock together to keep you from curling into yourself as your gluttony rocks your insides.

The plug forces you to keep everything in, and I’m challenging you to let it out. You moan and whimper, “my tummy…oh god it’s coming back…*buuurrrrppp* nnnnoooo goooddddd…”

Our thighs are sticky, our underwear soaked through. I continue palpating your abdomen, kissing your neck and back, and telling you sweet nothings, how good you are at filling your belly and keeping it in, until you give me the final signal. When the desperation is too much and you need the bathroom and you need the bathroom now.

I carry your cramping belly and you to the toilet and put you down, letting you pull out the plug, both of us red with a mix of embarrassment, shame, and classic dirty horny sex as your tummy violently empties itself.

I stay as close as you let me, respecting your space but wanting to help you get through the most painful part of the night.

And then we’d go to sleep. Obviously 🤭

That's NOT Music

*Ok so this is just a little headcannon event I believe would happen between Eddie and reader* Rated E for everyone.

Okay so hear me out... You and Eddie become the best of friends because "Your art is like SSSOOO out there and its scary you don't even dooo drugs man... Like not even a lick off a Mary-Wanna leaf." as Eddie so educatedly states. But when it comes to music.... Oh when it comes to music.

See Eddie is into Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, ANYTHING THAT CONSISTS OF BANSHEE WAILS FROM A GUITAR'S MOUTH!! But you.... YOU were into 'glam-rock'.

"A putrid stain resting on a dragon's shithole that when it farts. It sounds like Steven Tyler's iconic wail." as Eddie once again, states.

"Have you even listened to it? Like sit and fully give it a chance?" you push at him. Eddie stares at you with a dimpled smile but the light in his eyes, dim. Yeah he checked out before you even started. "EDDIE!!" you yell at him, highly annoyed by his blatant stubbornness.

"Aerosmith is sooo not-."

"Okay but have you heard of Bon Jovi?" you cut him off before he went on another 'fuck glam-rock' tangent. Eddie leans back and places his fingers on his chin, his music rolodex spinning as he scrambles for some semblance of a.... Bonjo? Banjo?

~~~

"THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC?!!" Eddie yells, as he rips the earbud out of his left ear. Making the other pop out of your right ear, landing hard onto the kitchen counter and next to your CD player. "EDS!!" you exclaim, swatting his shoulder even harder.

"OUCHIE!!! Never would've guessed you were heavy-handed." he says rubbing the area you hit and leaning away from you. You check the earbuds, as they are sooo easy to break, and yup. The right one (the one Eddie had on) is barely audible. "This band is so mediocre. Simple chords, simple song-writing, and-." his voice dies off as you slowly look at him with dagger eyes. His brain quickly rendering his mistake. BUT!! He couldn't control it. It was just sooo. Natural. He bites his index finger as he gives puppy eyes "Whoops." he winces.

~~~

So now, Steve and Eddie go for a night drive in Steve's beat-up convertible. The radio lowly playing whatevers popular to the masses, as they both share a doobie. Eddie listening to Steve deciphering the female mind out loud when a hint of a guitar sound peeks through. "HOLD ON!!" Steve yells, turning the volume up so the guitar riff plays stronger.

Eddie knew, from the beating you gave him afterwords, that this was Bon Jovi. Steve taps onto the steering wheel "ITS ALL THE SAME, ONLY THE NAMES WILL CHANGE!!" Steve sings along as Eddie whips his head to the betrayal he was hearing.

"EVERYDAY IT SEEMS WE'R-!!" Steve continues giving little looks and egging Eddie to sing along.

"No.. No FUCKING way man."

"WHERE THE FACES ARE SO COLD!!"

"NO STEVE!! THIS IS HOW THEY GET YOU, THEY TRY WITH THESE-!!"

"COME ON HELLFIRE I NEED A BACK UP!! I'M A COWBOY!!"

Eddie bites his bottom lip because FUCK!! Not like this... Please to the Iron Maiden artwork Gods.. Not... Like... "DEAD OR ALIVEEE!!" they both belt.

"FUCK YEAH MAN!!" Steve exclaims, stepping on the gas pedal as Eddie hides his face in utter shame.

Look at what you've done. Now he's definitely going to force you to listen to Metallica.

if reqs are alright rn, may I request a reader who has a hyper interest in psychology and behaviors, with arkhamverse dork squad? Like they raddle on about different psych facts that may come to mind with every day things or out of nowhere, and sometimes psychoanalyzes the boys without meaning to- I hope this is alright!

Psych Hyperfixative Reader w/ the Dork Squad (Arkhamverse flavor)

Absolutely alright! Very fun (and maybe a tad relatable, whoops). I wasn't sure if you wanted outright romantic, so I went more caring could go either way.

TW: Mentions of Jervis's mind control

Mad Hatter

- It's something you love and are interested in! He cares for you so therefore he's giving you full attention.

- You might get neuroscience facts back, even if they seem confusing the way Jervis explains them. He promises they relate! It is usually related, just hard to see unless you are also a neuroscientist.

- It's so funny to talk about why people do things, especially since he can make them do things! The psychology of the compliant.

- Be wary of analyzing him. When talking strictly about behaviors or mannerisms, hes likely to ooo and ah over your "expertise."

- "How clever! I do that all the time and I never noticed... how lucky am I to have you at my side forever!"

- If, though, you were to start psychoanalyzing him, there are a couple things that can happen. Keep in mind a lot of this is because he can be unpredictable.

- One is that he gets paranoid. Why are you saying things like that? This whole time have you been a spy for The Red Queen? He goes off on tangents/delusions that are unhealthy for his mindset.

- He laughs it off as you being a card "like Jon."

- He gets snippy or aggressive. Just what are you accusing him of...? He doesn't want to talk about the bad things he did. The horrible things he did...

- finally, he's in a more lucid period and seems anxious, remorseful, but trying to be supportive of your interest still.

Riddler

- The rambling gets a lot of "uh-huh" "oh interesting" because he wants you to feel sort of like you're being listened to, but doesn't want to put in effort when the conversation isn't about him or something he wants to talk about. It's your interest but... he's been around a lot of psychology over the years. Plus he gets it from Jon. The fact he's trying instead of telling you to fuck off is a big deal.

- "Congratulations on being more intelligent than my psychiatrist in Arkham. It's not a difficult feat, but it's still an accomplishment you should be proud of. Maybe."

- Has a love-hate relationship with being analyzed. Loves talking about himself, he could do that for hours. Hates having his vulnerable bits poked at. Ask him what fascinates him about making riddlerbots, not more nonsense about his father.

- Also be prepared to have those tables turned on you if you press too hard, even accidentally. He can make quite a few astute observations about people in a short time. Blunt verging on cruel. If you get upset, he'll stand by it but definitely feel like a dick.

Scarecrow

- He thinks the chatter is charming, actually. Reminds him of when he had students. You might be his favorite teacher's pet, though.

- Likely he'll respond back with his own facts or even relatable experiences from the Before. Before he was disgraced, before he lost his mind, before the mauling- When he was practicing.

- He's the one to realize any psychoanalysis by you is not intentional. At very first he was intent on showing you he could get into your mind better than you his-

- But you either apologize or he notes a rather... oblivious tone to the way you speak. Ah, it's not meant to be a dig or you trying to be coy.

- What he might do is try to redirect you a little. You know, the best way to get certain kinds of information from someone is x, y, and z as questions.

- Subtly, he'll do it back to see if you notice. Nothing too harsh or deep into any trauma, though he certainly could go there if he's feeling prickly.

- However, he does his best to realize this is a hyperfixation and not to get defensive if you accidentally hit a sore spot.

drops mmj pronounce and queer headcanons and runs

establishing right off the bat that All of Them are lesbians and polyam. so I don't have to individually list that in their bullet points

Minori

she/it/clover transfem agender

aceflux

realized her lesbianism and gender identity from a young age. seeing Haruka for the first time made her realize that she wanted to be a girl and Minori's family has been nothing but supportive. Later on, Haruka was also her lesbian awakening.

also resonates a lot with xenogenders, specifically many of the animal related ones

she is very proud of her queerness, but that pride in its identity was used against her in conjunction with the other things about her that could socially isolate her. like her bad luck, constant enthusiasm and passion for her interests, clumsiness, eccentricity (cough cough neurodivergency cough co- *dragged away*), etc. In my head this would contribute to her, in the past, being that person who everybody knew and said hello to but not many people bothered to stop and really befriend and listen to. Besides her few close friends that were accepting of her quirks (like the girl we see in Dear Me, From Back Then), I think Minori would have been kind of socially isolated - it wouldn't have affected her majorly but it definitely would have influenced her low base level of self-worth and the way she perceives herself. whoops JESUS CHRIST I went on a tangent there huh maybe i'll just make another post about this it lives in my brain

Haruka

they/he transneumasc nby

likes playing around with his gender expression but he still feels a little apprehensive about it. In general, he has trouble being accepting of themselves and their identity both as a lesbian and genderqueer person. It's very tied to his fear of change, his need to keep up a certain image of themselves, and his previous experiences in The Industry. he's come a long way in expressing himself with MMJ's support though!!

wears a binder often. "Yeah, I'm just wearing a binder to further enhance my disguise in public" -> "huh. huh I like this. oh wait. huh."

"I'm probably on the ace spectrum but I have a show in 3 days so I don't really care about that right now"

Airi

she/her transfem

started transitioning from a pretty early age, like Minori

specifically is a femme. the femme label is very precious and affirming for her

demiromantic

i'm pretty sure this is just canon but Airi ties her transness and girl-ness to her idolhood, and worth as an idol, a lot. MMJ is helping her work on undoing this self-damaging outlook on her identity. it'll take a hot minute but she's getting there :)

Sort of bullies Haruka and Shizuku into letting themselves experiment and express themselves freely. Minori then makes sure Airi is following her own advice about this topic.

Shizuku

they/she/fae (+ a whole lot more neos) egogender

They struggled with finding a label for themselves for a while until Minori helped them do more research on the topic. and then she realized that her gender is just. Her. She likes just thinking of her gender as just. being herself :) *I am we are starts playing*

plays with her gender expression A Lot. Like Haruka, but More. she does as a part of discovering herself beyond the image her old agency had forced her into and letting herself express herself more and realized that her perception of how her identity manifests changes quite often. Also like Haruka, she is still nervous and apprehensive about fully going with the flow and expressing herself.

she plays with her gender perception often enough that she's questioned whether she's genderfluid. fae does not have a definitive answer to that yet

Like Minori, also resonates a lot with xenogenders

[hekateinhell]

Do you have any fics that came out exactly how you envisioned them in your mind !?

Definitely my more recent stuff because I've learned the value of a) general outlining b) being patient with myself and giving myself time to do it to my standards as best as possible c) EDITING. No small thanks to you lol you've taught me so much! 🥹💕

If I had to pick two fics that I would use the word 'proud' for it's probably the mussy fic (Beneath Your Shallows) and creepylesbian AU fic (Drop Dead Gorgeous)!

I gave myself a month to write those but with my ADHD, I knew I wasn't going to start actually writing with the intent of "oh shit people are gonna see this" until there were two weeks left to the event deadlines. So I plan for that lmao I give myself those two weeks before I start writing to get excited about it and talk to people about it and outline little scenes that I want to happen like what absolutely must happen (i.e., Armand stuffing dirty panties in her mouth or Lestat getting his dick trapped inside the mussy) and jolt down the little dialogue bits in my phone that come to me at 3 AM!

So I think in terms of how I envision them, I never have an airtight outline; it's really just going off of vibes and I do know right away the sentiment I want convey as soon as the idea occurs to me.

Like for mussy fic, I immediately knew I was going to go heavy on the purple prose and try to be as 'Ricey' as possible! For the lesbians, I wanted it to be creepy and horny and vaguely offputting like Armand babygirl what's wrong with you???

I think (I hope!) that if you compare the writing in there to the very first things that I wrote, these are a lot tighter (and hopefully kinkier since I've gotten a lot more comfortable being a freak on main) because I gave myself the time to do it the way I wanted to.

PLUS (and I cannot overstate the importance of this enough) I got feedback from the couple friends I showed my work to and I told them the vibes that I wanted to get across and they let me know if I was hitting the mark. And if not, they gave me some tips on how to get there! Because I know you know that there's some things you just can't pick up on when it's your own writing!

I realize I went off on a tangent here that is more about my process WHOOPS 🫣 but I think it's all connected! I like to say that what I manage to translate from my head onto the page is an adaptation of my original idea (lol an AU of an AU), but these came out about as close as they could to what I envisioned!

[ranhaitanisgf]

RIGHT?! PLEASE! GIVE MY QUEEN YUZUHA SOME LOVE OMG her and senju fr. yeah,, senju was a part of the tragedy that was draken's death butdjdjjd she's what. 16? barely in high school. immature. naive. we've all done stupid, naive fck-ups when we were teens; we're human esp. at that age lmao (not defending her or attacking her. like pls djsjd she's my other badass queen! *fans self* thats my daughter! just stating facts). plus takeomi was all she had and she had a simple, pure dream of leading a cool gang like mikey's toman. the fact she was sorry for everything and felt remorse and took control of her gang when takeomi lost his cool. yooo! maturity! character progression! go queen! she wanted to make things right. she apologized to haruchiyo even if he didnt take it.

eh whoops! meant for this to be about my queen yuzuha loml aaaaa she is so strong and amazing and brave and silly and pretty and kind anddjsjsj hhhhhhh heart eyes fr. i could go on but then i'd run out of room lol i already went a bit on a senju tangent

*sighs* senju's and yuzuha's characters have so much to unpack omgg i love them sm fr aaaa

i feel like i am gonna get attacked esp. for the senju bits butfjdjd i saw one of the asks u answered talking about the lack of yuzuha talk and get super passionate (likedjsjd yesss! where are you, yuzuha fans ?? plssss djsjsj sniffles) and then i remembered some of urs??? i think urs?? asks about senju. andxjsjd BUT MOMMA DDIDNTBNRAISE A BITCH!!!! SO IM DOING THOS OFF ANON!

UR LITERALLY RIGHT ON THE MARK !!! when you think about it , you really do have to remember that all of the characters in the past are just kids , ofc they’re gonna be doing stupid things !! ofc senju made mistakes , what kind of teenager doesn’t ??? the big thing i love abt her character is that she owned up to it and took ownership of her own mistakes !! takeomi on the other hand … actually LET ME NOT EVEN GET INTO THAT 😭😭😭

& YUZUHA AHHH !!! honestly like i just love her overall character sooo much and i feel like she deserves her own spin off or something !! bc how did she learn to do the kind of kick she did w inui ? what’s her life like ? how is her life after everything that went down during the bd arc ? she’s suchhh a complex character and so interesting and she was such a great addition to the bd arc !! and then she just never appeared again . >:|

honestly though i just feel like in general we need a spin off abt all the tr girls , they just did not get enough screen time !! plus they have little interactions, but we need to see more of their little friendships !! yuzuha and senju have no canon interactions BUT i feel like they r bsfs . and hina and emma’s friendship is so cute and we only got to see so little of it !! emma literally helped hina get back w mitchy and we only got scraps of their friendship which just aggghhh . I NEED MORE .

(zont be afraid to speak ur truth abt the girls IF ANYBODY SAYS ANYTHING i will have words w them bc I AGREE W U WHOLEHEARTEDLY they literally deserve the world & SENJU DOESNT DESERVE THE HATE . where r all the senju lovers from when everybody thought she was a guy hmmmm ???? riddle me this tokyo revengers fandom … u don’t support senju but you support bonten trio , kanto mikey and izana ? oh you don’t have anything to say ? yeah that’s what i thought . 😘☝🏽)

[anguigenus]

It’s criminal that so many people overlook the original Hexsquad — the crew included!Canonically, it doesn’t feel like Luz is even friends with Willow and Gus at this point. The narrative has shifted to focusing on Hunter, Luz, and Amity, while Willow and Gus are just shoved into easily fandomizable boxes with Hunter. I’m really disappointed that they didn’t even get one moment in S3 (so far).

Forgive me, but I'm going to be bitter here for a minute because I'm exhausted. If you're having fun with the owl house, go ahead and keep scrolling—this is more a personal vent than anything, I suppose—there's no need for you to be bogged down by my personal problems with the show.

Anyways.

They're never coming back.

I have fully given up at this point.

Gus will have a scene with Hunter about the grimwalker stuff and they'll be all brotherly and all awwww how sweet. The scene will be about Hunter. He might have a reunion scene with Matt that teases Gustholomule. He'll have an after credits scene where he's a human ambassador. (It'll be played for comedic relief somehow).

Him having a strong connection to the humans won't have any actual significance because Vee's the one that actually knows humans, Gus is some silly little boy.

Willow will have a couple scenes with Hunter to tie off the romance plotline that'll be all about how important Hunter is to her or something. She'll use her plant magic to grow the palisman seed so Hunter can grow a staff and it'll be so romantic and Evelyn parallels etc. This is because the pinnacle of her self-confidence arc is to use that strength to support Hunter.

Both of them will spend most of their time being comic relief or just another gun in a fight scene.

The only reason they had any attention in the first place was because Luz needed someone to have zany adventures with and Amity had to be distant at first for that sweet sweet enemies to lovers plot.

Why would they be written as important to Luz anyways? I mean, it's not like they're a love interest or The Main Character (Hunter).

Oh whoops, almost went on a tangent there where I started to convince myself this was intentional, that Luz is just isolating herself from them because she's so stressed. That they're actually going to mean something beyond a group hug set to moving music that Wow Pulls Luz From The Brink With The Power Of Friendship!

wouldn't want to make the mistake of giving myself hope for the uhhhh 20-something-th time.

Sorry, by the way, that I'm so bitter. It's just been building up for a couple of years.

Anyways.

The bright side is that the show doesn't have to matter so much.

AUs exist for a reason. Fix it fics, show re-writes, fics that focus on your favs or extrapolate as much depth as you want.

If I had the energy I'd certainly still be churning them out, because it's fun! I want to think about my most beloved blorbos and give them awesome stories! There's so much potential to dig at!

I'm still hoping I can put my disappointment aside sometime and get back to enjoying my own little content.

[isabellehemlock]

Since you're taking a more retrospective approach, how about 🎢 and ✨

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Oh gosh, it depends on what kind of ride we're referring to lol. If you're thinking crack - let's say, Pwimo (catboiPrimo). If you're thinking "Holy heck what is happening??" multiple twists, I'd say Endless Ocean (which look, I did not mean to make it the longest non crossover fic in the fandom - but well fuck) - a modern AU with themes of grief and healing after trauma. If you're looking for the angst train ride of being dragged, I'd vote The Necklace - a precanon potential of what happens with immortal parents taking care of mortal children? Yeah, it got sad fast.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

But butttt humilityyyyy . . . Ah um - okrrr, uh, for me? I think one of my favorite compliments I've ever received was "I love how open you are to people" like welcoming, and inclusive and "hey we don't have to have the same background, same beliefs, etc - I'm going to respect that inherent dignity in you." . . . I'm sure having been othered in the past has helped me develop the skill to hopefully not leave anyone else feeling like that. I mean, I try at least lol.

Besides, imo this whole thing is a journey, and getting to know people from across the world helps me expand my own limited world view, helps me to better practice my empathy, simply by acknowledging I don't know everything and isn't that exciting to realize? To know that there's always going to be something new to learn 💗 I think it would be pretty boring if we were all merely clones of one another. I believe it's in the differences where we can find the humanity to be humble, and practice compassion and mercy - and explore friendships with the things we do have in common. Whoops I went on a tangent lol. Okay on the next part!

As for my writing? Hm I do seem to focus on the dialogue so maybe that? But the comments that have resonated deep within and brought tears to my eyes have been the ones where someone has felt seen and heard as they process grief and loss ~ I'm glad a fic of mine ended up being a safe space for them to process some heavy feelings (with the caveat that of course fic can't be a stand in for therapy and a treatment plan, but I'm glad some fics have found the people they were meant for in some way).

Thanks Astra! And for anyone interested, please free to send me some emojis 😊

I just saw a twilight edit where it starts off with the first movie and then goes to Bella holding a baby and you know what.. I teared up a lil. It gave me like a "high school sweethearts" to many years later and they're now parents vibe. I could honestly see them being parents and it was so heartwarming to see those characters "mature" but in reality that all happened in less than two years. They're vampires and the baby grows fast. I hate how SMeyer executed it. I hate Twilights timeline. :(

honestly? yeah. Twilight (especially in the movies) misses so much out of actual relationships. like there's a beautiful romance to maturing and growing old with the person that you choose to spend your life with. of course I understand the appeal of staying young, and the concept of having a love that lasts literally eternity and having an infinite about of time with your soulmate but it's so clear that it all stems from smeyers issues regarding age. and it's a shame

I truly don't know what she was thinking with the whole pregnancy thing. like, seriously. the entire book felt rushed and it was shoehorned in completely, and it's so obvious she wasn't happy about being told to change the plot of forever dawn for the twilight saga. it just doesn't fit, and when you think about the actual ages of Edward and Bella it's even worse.

and your right anon, maybe if we got to see Bella and Edward mature and grow old together and reach the stage where they were ready for children together.

@panlight wrote a wonderful 'cure to vampirism' thing where because Bella was bitten by James and it lingered, she was immune to vampire venom and Carlisle was able to create a cure, allowing all the Cullen's to become human. maybe if that happened, and we got to see all the Cullen's start to age, Carlisle and Esme having the opportunity to have a family of their own, and then later Rose and Emmett.

Edward seeing how his parents lives changed when they had their first child. seeing how despite how exhausted they looked, they were so incredibly happy. Edward and Bella going through college together, going into the world and getting married and settled down, and then talking about starting their family. tired parents Edward and Bella calling Carlisle and Esme at 3am cause their little bundle of joy won't stop crying and they don't know what to do. Edward and Bella's kid growing up with Emmett and Rose's, and Alice and Jasper returning from travelling and utterly spoiling their nieces and nephews. a grey haired Carlisle and Esme offering to babysit their many grandkids now that their kids are grown up and out in the world.

utterly chaotic Christmases and Hannukahs and Halloween's and meaningful birthdays and eventually graduations and weddings. the Cullen's all finally leaving their mark on the world, putting down permanent roots and being able to drop the secrecy act forever

[pizzaboat]

Okay so goldric huh.

Like I'm seeing that potential.

First off.

Rule abider, and trouble maker.

Hunter's a nerd and Edric's.. not stupid, but he's not as sharp as his sisters. I feel like Hunter would insult him the first time they meet over that.

And Edric would make fun of his book reading habits.

Both would call you gross for touching mud.

I headcanon they're both trans and I imagine Edric would kill Hunter for not binding correctly. Being, when Edric runs out of the six hours he uses illusions to atleast be able to hide his chest and Hunter doesn't have anyone checking to make sure he's safe binding.

Until Edric slaps him with the you're gonna die, man.

Edric would be like, wow. You are.. strong. Can he carry me? I think he can..

Hunter's like, he's pretty. But I just arrested him and his sister for trying to prank my scouts.. and now his sister is gone and this guy missed their signal.. oh titan.

Neither are used to physical affection..

Hunter tries to ask edric out for a normal date and suggests going for ice cream. Edric's lactose intolerant. It's akward but edrics spent long enough trying to be a nice person that he doesn't dwell on the bad suggestion and they do something else.

Edric wants to impress Hunter by reading a book. He takes one from Amity's room. The first one he sees. The good witch azura.

Edric gets attached to the characters and cries at the end, but Hunter's confused cause he only reads what are essentially text books or educational tombs.

Hunter thinks its cute and sweet he tried tho.

Speaking of thinking the other one is cute, Edric thinks it's adorable how Hunter goes off on tangents about theory's involving magic and his face and eyes light up. Edric doesn't know about, or really care about what's happening. But he likes hunter and trying to care seems to be... healthy.

Wow. I just went on a tangent about headcanons. Whoops.

[gothyyy]

A/N: whoops I started writing genshin content and went on a tangent about childe with a trans partner

General relationship headcannons (all SFW) featuring: Venti, Xiao, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Childe! + one random bonus character! (Gender neutral reader insert)

Venti•

I feel like you and him would spend a lot of time exploring, seeing as he has basically no money because he’s an archon

Venti’s ideal date probably consists of stealing wine from diluc’s tavern and drinking it out on a field somewhere where you can see the stars perfectly

Venti is no stranger to love, seeing as he’s been alive for thousands of years, but he really, truly thinks you’re the perfect one for him

He loves you with all his heart and soul and he just wants to make you happy

He doesn’t have a gender preference, he just loves you for you no matter your gender

venti absolutely loves it when you mess with his hair, braiding it or just fiddling with it, he just thinks it’s so cute

please cuddle with him he loves it so much

he loves singing for you, especially on those nights when you can’t sleep or when you have a nightmare

Xiao•

Oh boy

Just oh boy

At first, xiao doesn’t know what to make of these feelings, it’s all so confusing to him

Why was he, an adeptus, lovesick for someone? That certainly isn’t a part of his job as an adeptus

It used to annoy him how his heart would beat faster whenever he looked at you, the way he felt his face heat up when you got too close or even made eye contact with him

Once you and him get together though, he’s the softest being ever

He loves being able to hold you close and kiss you and love you

Sometimes he finds it difficult to be with you because he doesn’t want to hurt you

Xiao has been alive for so long and he has such bad karma he’s afraid of accidentally hurting you

Back to your regularly scheduled fluff

He still gets so flustered around you, seeing as he’s very romantically inexperienced, you were the only person Xiao was ever and will ever be able to love, and every day he reminds you how much he loves you

Xingqiu•

So we all know he loves reading and writing, so he probably confessed to you with a well written and romantic letter asking you to go to the nearby book vendors in Liyue harbor the following night

because this is a fanfic, you obviously decided to go meet him that night

He was waiting with your favorite flowers in hand, looking towards the ground and blushing

he’s so cute-

That was where he asked you out after a long night of spending time together, laughing and bonding as if you were already dating

As the sun rose upon Liyue harbor all he asked was “will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/[insert preferred term here]?”

sorry you’re not safe from his pranks

Chongyun•

CLUELESS LOVE

Like, he’s so clueless he barely even knows what love is, let alone what it feels like to be in love with someone

Whenever you’re around, he has to eat a popsicle to keep his emotions in check

He doesn’t understand why he got all nervous whenever you were around him, or why he found himself wanting to spend more time with you

He asked xingqiu what this feeling was and got teased relentlessly over it

PLZ WHERE ARE MY OTHER CHONGYUN LOVERS

I’m gonna write extra for this cuz our beautiful chongyun needs more content

How did he confess? Well,

It was probably on a rainy day, with you and him running around from building to building to shield yourselves from the rain

At one point, you ran ahead of him and grabbed his hand so he wouldn’t fall behind

Once you got to the next thing you’d use to keep out of the rain, he had to eat a popsicle just because he was so flustered

“I love you!” he most likely randomly blurted out, not knowing how to properly confess

After he starts to get more comfortable around you, he’s probably so cuddly and fluffy and he loves being around you and cuddling with you, like he wants to hold your hand always

please i love him so much

Childe•

mmmmmm

frankly i’m not sure how he’s gonna do as a partner

friends to lovers trope maybe? He seems like the kind of person who would not only tease his partner constantly, but where people would sometimes mistake him and his partner for friends (PLZ THATS WHAT I WANT)

he can be romantic when he wants to be, which i’m not sure how often that is

If you’re sad (and for my trans and enby friends if you’re feeling dysphoric!) he’s extra romantic and tries to make sure you’re as happy as can be

Childe is a sugar daddy okay

He just wants to make sure you’re feeling okay, and if you’re trans or enby he always makes sure you feel valid and comfortable in your body

allow me to elaborate because i’m going to go on a tangent about childe with a partner who isn’t cisgender because i love him and i’m a trans guy so yeah

trans boyfriend? he makes sure you feel like the most attractive man in the world, he’ll buy you binders and clothes you want to wear, he’ll find a nice place to get your hair cut, as soon as you come out to him he starts using the pronouns you prefer and if you don’t go by your deadname, he starts calling you by your real name immediately

BONUS CHARACTERS!!

Keqing•

i love her

this entire thing is just characters i simp for so-

Keqing works a lot, and you probably started as her assistant before she realized she had developed feelings for you

Occasionally she’d pry herself away from her work to ask you on a date

Of course, there’s no way Keqing can say no if you ask her out

[v4mptsuki]

tsuki, tendou, bokuto and kuroo with an astrology gf

tsukishima

he would be such a little shit tbh

i feel like he'd be into astrology to some extent, but solely as a knowledge thing, like i don't see him actually believing in it

he definitely knows his sun sign though

he would also 100% blame his behavior on his sign too

like whoops sorry i left you on read all day i'm a libra it's in my nature

if you wanted to calculate his chart he would let you, and he'd probably enjoy listening to you analyze it

i think what he would like the most though is hearing about the planetary movements

he would always want to know which planet is going into retrograde next, even though he claims it doesn't actually effect anything

he says that but he still won't travel during mercury retrograde "just in case"

he would do some research, but only on your placements

he'd definitely tease you about how serious you take it, but the second anyone else does he would back you up

"oh my gosh tsuki you have an aries moon," you exclaimed with a slight laugh as your boyfriend's chart loaded on your phone.

you'd finally pressured him into asking his mom what his birth time was, and you didn't even wait a second to calculate his chart.

"what does that mean?" tsukishima asked as he looked at your phone over your shoulder.

"it means you have a temper," you teased, twisting around to poke his cheek.

he scowled at you and swatted lightly at your shoulder.

"whatever."

"tell me more though," he added after a moment of silence as you scrolled down to his aspects.

"well your mars trines your moon. that explains why you're so rude all the time," you said with another laugh.

tsukishima scoffed, "i'm not rude i'm just honest."

"uh huh," you replied sarcastically.

you continued to go through the notable parts of his chart, and despite his occasional comments, he did seem to be interested. so naturally you went off on a tangent, and all of the sudden it had been almost an hour.

"oh i'm sorry! i was totally rambling, i bet you're really bored."

tsuki quickly shook his head, shooting you a small smile.

"not at all, is there more?"

tendou

he would find it all so fascinating

i don't think he would know what his sun sign was though before dating you

he would be so eager to let you do his chart though

i can totally see him on facetime with you at like 1 am digging through bins to find his birth certificate so you can have his exact birth time

he knows what it's like to be bullied for being different, so i don't think he would tease you at all for your interest in astrology

he would definitely brag to the team about you and say you can basically predict the future with the stars

all his bragging would prompt some of the other boys to ask you to do their charts too

"tendou, how is your family not awake yet?" you whispered with a small laugh at your boyfriend.

he was attempting to sneak around his house, on the hunt for his birth certificate. he claimed he knew where it was, but you weren't so sure he did.

"i'm not that loud, your ears are lying to you," tendou replied, his voice barely at whisper level.

just a few seconds later, he bumped into a shelf, making everything on it rattle loudly. you could barely stifle your laugh at tendou's expression as he tried to still the shaking objects.

"what was that about my ears lying?"

"whatever, i'm doing this for you, be grateful," tendou replied.

a few more moments passed as tendou shuffled papers around on the shelf he'd knocked into, before he found what he was searching for.

"y/n! look!" he exclaimed, once again forgetting to keep his voice down.

you laughed and nodded at him, "good job bub, text me a picture and i'll read your chart for you when we hangout tomorrow!"

bokuto

omg he would find it all so interesting

i don't think he'd have any clue what his sign was before dating you

or even what any of the signs are, like he'd be totally clueless about astrology

the whole time you read him his chart i can see him just having his mind blown like "wow that's so accurate how did you know!"

he would also brag about you, and i actually think akaashi would find it cool too

on more of a knowledge level than a spiritual level, like he's fascinated by how well you know the topic

bokuto would want to know all about his future, like his seventh house placements and his juno sign, and all that stuff

i can totally see him getting pouty if your signs aren't "compatible", so you'd probably have to emphasize the more compatible parts of your charts

"bo, it's okay if our sun signs aren't the most compatible. we're more than just our sun signs, you know," you said softly.

bokuto frowned, "but i want us to be compatible," he said with a whine.

"well look at our venuses! they're compatible, and honestly that's more important. venus placements rule over relationships," you said, trying to boost his spirits.

bokuto perked up a bit at that, "really?"

you nodded, "yup! our moon signs go well together too! sun signs aren't all they're knocked up to be."

that made him smile, and he leaned towards you to give you a kiss on your cheek.

"you're so smart baby."

kuroo

he definitely knows his sign, and he totally reads horoscopes occasionally

his favorite part of astrology is definitely synastry too

the first thing he'd do when you brought it up is ask how compatible the two of you are

he'd want to hear all about your aspects, all the way down to the last detail

he would tease you a bit, but all in good fun

like if you ever compliment him he'd bring up the fact that he's a scorpio because of their mysterious bad boy stereotype

he definitely loves that stereotype too

i do think he'd like hearing you talk about it too

if you ever wanted to know someone's birth time, he would have the boldness to ask for you

once you start dating, he reads your horoscope too, and he'll text you little reminders about it

like if you're horoscope said to take some time to rest, he would text you to take a break today

"did you read the horoscope i texted you?" kuroo asked as soon as he walked into your bedroom.

you looked up from your phone and nodded, a small smile gracing your face.

"i did, i've kept it in mind all day."

remember to go easy on yourself today, kindness is important, especially inwards

kuroo climbed into bed with you and pulled you into his chest.

"and? were you kind today babe?"

you rolled your eyes playfully, "aren't i always?"

he laughed and brushed some of your hair away from your face, "not with that attitude of yours," he teased.

you scoffed, "you're such an ass kuroo."

"babe i'm just a scorpio."

Subcon Forest Analysis

Hi everyone I'm here to spill my aggressive overflowing thoughts on Subcon Forest and what it represents because it's been driving me insane since I finished the Sleepy Subcon time rift. Okay let's go. Obvious spoilers for AHIT ahead so proceed with caution.

This is also very, very long.

Disclaimer/warning: I will be discussing abusive/unhealthy relationships in this analysis. I mean. Vanessa. Come on. Also, there is a section on the nooses, and that delves, of course, into mentions of suicide. It will be sectioned off and easily skipped, but if you'd rather be safe and skip the entire post, that's completely understandable! Please stay safe. <3

Alright. Main point to be had here:

Subcon Forest is a giant extended metaphor for Snatcher's mind and character.

You all get to now listen to me spout nonsense about metaphors and symbolism because I'm a sucker for analysis and I'm given an opportunity to go ham. So perish.

The Ice

Let's start with the most obvious and most glaring thing in Subcon. The ice. It's everywhere. Not just outside Vanessa's manor, either; no, it's throughout the village, too. Shows up in the well and in random locations sprinkled about. When it comes to literal plot, we know that ice is just what lingers after Vanessa's wintery curse on Subcon. But going deeper and analyzing the meaning behind it?

Well, let's look at this from the perspective I've suggested. Subcon Forest being an extended metaphor for Snatcher's mind and character. A symbol for Vanessa then litters his mind, enough where it's certainly noticeable at first but blends in more easily once more of Subcon is unlocked to Hat Kid. This is clearly meant to be his lingering trauma, whether or not he wants to acknowledge it. Which he doesn't, as he never mentions it directly in his forest (that I can recall). Her influence plagues him, as to be expected with the traumatic experiences he went through with her. Breaking the ice is something Hat Kid must do in order to fulfill the wishes of the Fire Spirits (another subject I'll get into shortly), which, if self-indulgently playing with the found family idea, could mean that Hat Kid is helping him heal; if indirectly. Even if fulfilling the Fire Spirits' wish to die is... counterproductive, in that measure, which I'm now getting ahead of myself so hold on a sec!!

Vanessa. Ice. Everywhere. Traces of it all over his forest. That's the effects of an abusive relationship! Especially in a worst-case scenario where... yknow! One party in the relationship dies! So of course ice would be everywhere.

In and of itself, ice is a common symbol in literature and other forms of media. In this case, it's presented as an antagonistic force; emphasis is placed upon freezing and the harm that comes with it. The cold is unwelcoming, threatening, merciless. Snow can act as an insulating force, at least, but ice cannot. It can only make things colder.

A slight stretch: Seeing as this game deals a lot with time shenaniganry, I'm not sure if it'd be too out of left field to connect "freezing" with the theme of time. Yknow. Frozen in time. Both parties here, Snatcher and Vanessa, would be in this frozen state. One largely repressing it and never fully moving on, and the other doomed to her isolation ever since the event in question. They never moved past that moment after the Prince and florist's interaction.

The Fire Spirits (& the Portraits)

I'll put a slight warning here for suicidal ideation, if only because... it's the Fire Spirits we're talking about. It's not as grossly in-detail as the noose discussion will be, though, so make of that what you will.

To me, the Fire Spirits are a very interesting case. After all, they're fire. They're a direct contrast to the ice, thus being the only thing we're shown that could potentially melt it. The Fire Spirits, in my opinion, represent hope or a strength to continue. A strength to move on after troubles of the past.

...And that hope wants to die.

The Fire Spirits wish to burn out, to leave this mortal coil and abandon the forest to the cold. They make no effort to melt the ice, they simply dance, blissfully ignorant towards their surroundings. This being a metaphor for Snatcher's own hope for moving on is made all the more obvious by the fact he wants them gone. The first contract is to kill the Fire Spirits, to kill the hope. Perhaps he believes that sort of thing to be fruitless or naïve, so it only clutters his mind or has him foolishly optimistic at points. So, get rid of it. And the hope is happy to oblige.

(That, or their willingness to leave the forest to its own suffering and not aid in the ice's thaw angers him. Besides the whole "bark bark growl I can't get to parts of my forest because of them!!" which... also could represent a naïve hope clouding his judgement, not allowing him to see a bigger picture. But hope can't all be lost if one wants to move forward...)

A little side-tangent now on the portraits! And it's another slight stretch but the idea is in my head and I can't let it go. Portraits are another common symbol, usually being a physical representation of a memory or idea. For our purposes, let's say they're memories. I know in canon they appear to just hold souls captive or something but for now we're just Ignoring That(tm). The Fire Spirits have to burn the portraits to disappear. See where I'm going with this, maybe?

Instead of handling bad memories (or perhaps memories of the past in general) in any healthy manner, Snatcher chooses to forget/repress them, which just allows his hope to progressively die out.

I'm really hoping this is making sense because it makes a lot of sense to me but I might be insane rn

The Fact that this is a Forest

Forest symbolism breakdown! What's a forest usually mean in literature? "Traditionally, the forest has come to represent being lost, exploration and potential danger as well as mystery and 'other worldliness'." Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. That certainly works with the whole aesthetic we've got going on. Wood usually is life, growth and strength. But the trees of subcon are all dead. So what about that? It stands for death, big whoop, very spooky, we know Snatcher's dead and so are the children, yadda yadda wowie wowie. But. :) The trees in Subcon look a lot like trees that were scorched in a forest fire. Don't believe me?

(You could also argue they're just regular marsh/swamp trees bUT SSHHSUUHSH HANG ON HEAR ME OUT LOOK LOOK,)

What I believe to have happened was a controlled fire to rid the forest of the majority of its ice and snow. Likely done by Snatcher. It leaves behind a very desolate, depressing, barren scene... but. What else do dead/burnt trees symbolize? Rebirth. After all, controlled fires happen to make way for new trees to take the place of old ones. Some trees only drop seeds in fires/hot temperatures, so new ones take root and begin anew. Weird. It's almost like... I dunno. Snatcher was given some sorta second chance, given he's not just a corpse in Vanessa's cellar. So were the subconites. Another life given then by Snatcher. All connected I tell ya!!

Generally, aside from that, forests have many connotations. Mystery, isolation, claustrophobia; a place to dwell on regrets, or the past; to worry over one's future; to seek escape from or escape inside of... hmgmrnmm!

The Nooses

The t/w is given at the top and another cut-off point will follow the bottom of this, for those that would like to skip. This will delve into talk of suicide and abusive tactics used by abusers. Please don't read if it will upset you or make you feel unsafe!!!

Personally, I cannot stand the nooses, but that's just due to my own triggers. Were there a way to hide those from the game or replace the damned talking ones with anything else. I would take it. In a heartbeat. But I can still appreciate the potential analysis to be had with them. So now i'm gonna talk about it despite how uncomfortable it will make me to do so. yEa

So, what about 'em? There are three types of nooses seen in Subcon. At least that I remember but I didn't really go looking for them. Empty ones, ones containing empty subconites, and the talking ones.

Nooses in general obviously can hint towards suicidal thoughts or behaviors of the characters that interact with them. If saying Subcon is Snatcher's mind, it could suggest that he suffered from some sort of suicidal thoughts in life (or currently, if second death is possible... or if he never truly died... or maybe he's trying to figure that out...which has given me... a separate idea...uh oh). But. And hear me out. Different perspective.

A talking noose. I hate them with a fiery passion that is unmatched. But think of the packed symbolism of a noose that talks. And think more about what it says. "I wouldn't mind being strapped around a cute neck like yours." "Be careful now, I don't want to see you meet a miserable end anywhere, but with me." Oddly, a lot of what the noose says seems almost... endearing? One could argue it's a way of luring someone to put it around their necks, which in and of itself is a whole lot to unpack when it comes to suicidal thoughts beckoning one forward; painting itself as something romantic, almost. But. Here's a wild idea, now. What if the nooses, at least the talking ones, are another symbol for Vanessa?

They're tinted blue, after all. While Vanessa's scheme is more red, one could argue two things: One, ice. Blue. Ice. yeah. Or two, the fact that Snatcher's scheme is more purple. Blue and red... make... purple. So, for all we know, Snatcher's current state was a compound effort between suicidal thoughts and Vanessa's treatment of him. Perhaps he even found a way to put himself out of his misery before freezing/starving to death. (I know he has dialogue that argues against that, but... are we certain Snatcher would be the kind to admit suicide over freezing to death?... I don't think so.)

At any rate, a common threat by those in "control" of an abusive relationship is that of killing themselves should the other person not do as they desire. It's a cruel form of emotional manipulation to get their way, worse off if the other party is an empathetic individual. As a person who has been the empathetic individual in relationships like this... I would know. I've been here, unfortunately So, it's not completely out of the question to say Vanessa could've used some tactic like that, even before the whole... cellar ordeal. Did she? I dunno. I'm tossing ideas around. But if she did, the threats of such would sit around in the Prince's mind easily. Even if she has a reputation of not going through with it. It doesn't matter. That shit sticks with you forever, that scare, the potential of it ever being true, is horrifying and it ruins you. I'm projecting, Squirtle.

Still. A noose cannot hang itself. It has to have a victim.

...yea.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- T / W PASSED -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Misc. Ideas

- The spiders: Aside from the usual things spiders can be chalked up to symbolizing - toxicity, alluring danger, just... general pain - I like the potential wordplay that can happen here. Yknow. A black widow. Say the Prince and Vanessa were married when one died. What would that leave Vanessa? A widow. ...She's red and black, too. Yknow. Like a black widow. HA wordplay is fun isn't it?

- Snatcher's tree: Love this place, love sitting in here. But not the point! The inside of Snatcher's tree is such a harsh juxtaposition to the rest of Subcon that it kinda throws ya off guard. After all, the dark, purples and blues then contrasted with the bright warm colors of the inside. Even the music switches over. The thorns outside aren't present indoors. Ohh yeah this is gonna be on the nose as hell but the Tree(tm) is 100% representing Snatcher's appearance/put-on personality vs. his truer nature. Spooky outside with thorns, foreboding, unwelcoming. Then the more comfortable interior. VULnerable. Have I even mentioned that the tree is HOLLOW I mean COME ON. The sturdiness of that tree? Nonexistent. He's not a sturdy guy at all no matter how he fronts

- Intrusions are unwelcome: Snatcher does not like the fact that Hat Kid sticks around in his forest. His personal space. His mind. In fact he tries desperately to get rid of her after their fight, not wanting her presence in his forest at all. He has no problem providing more contracts later on with the Death Wish thing, and he finds great entertainment in messing around with Hat Kid, so it's not just a weird sudden hatred he has for her; it's the fact that. After she's finished being useful, he no longer wants her around, lest she find some things she shouldn't find. Now he's just uncomfortable with her in his personal boundaries. Could just be a denial that she's helped him heal (breaking ice, stealing from Vanessa, being something interesting for his kids to interact with) or just not really wanting a child to get wrapped up in. All that. Most likely the former. Considering the amount of joke-hints he drops regarding his background during his Death Wish dialogue. I see you funny man, making jokes out of your trauma as a coping mechanism. Punts him

Annnd I think that's all I got, for now! I'll make an update post if I get any more sporadic ideas. If you read this whole thing, thank you!! and also!! Wow that was a lot!! Hell world. Please feel free to elaborate on any of my points or debate with me on em!! I'm always open to other ideas, just be aware that if I disagree I am not shy when it comes to debate hehehe, tho I won't be aggressive to any extent I prommy!!

Alrighty. goes to sleep goodnight

Sasha Waybright: Massive Weeb

So this is my first attempt at a semi-fluffy Sasharcy story.

This was pretty much born from 'Mother Olm.' the minute that Sasha called the Calamity powers ' Cool anime powers' I pretty much decided then and there that this girl was a massive anime nerd.

I also wrote this because The Beginning Of The End just straight up murdered me. I am dead, this was written by the ghost of a Marcy kinnie.

I tried to make this as angst free as I could and yet here we are.

So this is a story where Sasha slowly becomes a massive Anime nerd. There'll be hints of Sashannarcy here and there, but this story will primarily be Sasharcy.

i had thought i had posted this story this mnorning, turns out i just saved it as a draft so whoops!

Potential TW: talk of divorce, unresolved issues about divorce, pre-amphibia Sasha being pre-amphibia Sasha.

With that out of the way, sit back and relax with chapter one of Five Times Sasha Nerded Out Over Anime.

and the one time they nerded out together.

Sasha tried to be a good friend, really she did.

She kept a tight control over Anne and Marcy, making it so that whatever they did it would be for all three of their best interests. She’d seen what a collapsed relationship looked like and the thought of Anne, Marcy, and her ending up like her parents frightened and sickened her.

Almost as much as the thought of Marcy, Anne, and her being married made her feel… strange. Happy, for some reason, but strange.

So Sasha, out of the kindness of her heart, made sure that Anne and Marcy were at their best at all times. That anyone who looked at either of them, even when she herself wasn’t around, would say to themselves ‘Those are two very popular girls, I should probably leave them alone cause I'm not cool enough to talk to either of them.’

Truly, Sasha was a good friend, and she certainly tried.

“... meaning that the entire time, there were colossal titans inside the very walls themselves! Can you believe it, Sash? Of course we don’t know the real reason for that until later, when it’s revealed that the walls are- oh, what am i saying? I was about to spoil the big twist for you! I mean, I guess I already spoiled the wall thing but…”

Sasha tried, she really did.

Sasha tried to retain as much info as she could, but keeping up with Marcy when she was in full infodump was a completely futile effort. Especially when it was about something that she didn’t know about.

Sasha wasn’t really into anime all that much. She’d never really watched much of anything animated to be honest. She was a reality show girl who enjoyed watching messy people cause drama on screen.

“... still can’t believe the shape of the world! I mean, it’s just our world but upside down. A lot of people theorize that it’s a symbolic representation about how the world is, metaphorically, upside down with the Eldian Empire and the Marleyan Empire but i think…”

What was Marcy even talking about?

Sasha had maybe followed when she was talking about german people living behind big walls who flew through the air with cool devices. But then Marcy started talking about her fan theories every five minutes and quickly she got lost as Marcy went down the rabbit hole of tangent after tangent.

Sasha tried, she really does.

“Mar-mar, could you maybe slow down?” She asked as the girl jumped in surprise.

“Sorry Sash! Just wanted to try and convince you to watch it. I mean, it’s a great show and-”

“And you’ve been talking about it for almost half an hour now.” Sasha tried to say it as gently as she could, but she could hear a little frustration leak into her words.

She winced as she saw the moment of hurt on marcy’s face.

“Sorry, i just- sorry.”

The two girls sat in awkward silence as they waited for the third of their trio to show up.

The silence lasted only a few minutes.

“Sooo, are you going to watch it” Marcy asked hesitantly. Looking at Sasha out of the corner of her eyes.

“Probably not, sorry. Got other shows to watch, you know?” She replied, tapping her foot against the sidewalk.

There they waited until Anne finally raced out to join them, and all awkwardness was forgotten. And Sasha forgot all about the show.

**********

Sasha was so bored.

She’d pretty much abandoned her homework (Algebra, yuck) in favor of texting to her friends. Anne and Marcy seemed to be clogging up the groupchat by talking about something to do with the Thai Go. So Sasha went over to the cheerleader groupchat to drill them over practice and upcoming performances.

But that was done with, so she was left with nothing.

The homework was basically done at this point (thanks to the wonderful Mar-mar, who got A’s without trying at all) so there was nothing left to do.

The blonde sighed and began mindlessly scrolling through Netflix, waiting for something to pop out. She checked the movie section but nothing appealed to her. Well, Netflix did just acquire streaming rights for War of the Warlocks, but Sasha only ever watched that movie with Anne and Marcy and it would feel wrong to do it alone without the other two.

And so she had nothing.

She kept scrolling through when her eyes fell upon the sight of a particularly eye-catching logo: an angry brunette with twinblades, yelling and charging forward on some old timey rooftop.

Attack On Titan.

‘Isn't that what Marcy was infodumping about on the walk home?’ She thought to herself. She vaguely remembered the word Titan thrown around a lot so it seemed to be right. 

Sasha glanced at the time on her phone. Her dad wouldn’t be home till later, probably drunk, and her friends had gone offline to do whatever. So she really had nothing better to do.

‘Fine, I'll give it a shot I guess.’ She thought to herself as she got up to grab some chips to eat while she watched. She’d give it an episode or two to see what was what and then tell Marcy she’d watched an anime.

It 's not like i’m going to like it or anything’ she thought to herself as she sat back on a beanbag and pressed play. She nuzzled into the plush chair and sat ready.

A goose flew across an orange sky as dramatic music played in the background. A group of children looked horrified by this.

“At least the animation is good.’ She thought to herself as she watched.

“And on that day, humanity received a grim reminder.”

“Get through the gate already! It’s coming!” She yelled at the screen as the garrison troops rushed to try and close the gate while a giant armored titan sprinted towards the closing doors like a Quarterback.

The big armored titan crashed through the gate, sending splinters of wood and rubble flying everywhere before coming to a stop.

‘Man, if anyone on the football team ran that fast, maybe we wouldn’t be losing this season.’ Sasha thought to herself as she watched the big titan blow hot steam out of his jaws.

Okay, maybe this show was cool.

**********

Maybe this show was awesome actually!

The new recruits of the 104th had just finished their training (And holy shit Mikasa grew up hot!) when the colossal titan showed up, kicked down the door like it was Shiganshina, and then disappeared.

Now everyone was ready to go out and slay titans pouring through the new wall opening. Sasha was breath taken as she saw them fly through the air on 3DM gear, looking like superheroes as they did.

These were the heroes who would save the world, and Sasha felt herself get caught up in the excitement. She cheered them on as they flew across Trost, prepping to face down the titans.

Then the massacre began.

**********

“What? No! Not you Annie! You were my fave!”

Sasha was furious and sad. Annie, her favorite girlboss, just turned out to be a traitor. She could turn into a titan just like Eren could. And helped massacre squad Levi.

I mean, when she actually thought about it, she supposed it made sense because Once Eren could turn into a titan she thought about if anyone else could.

Still, it stung.

Almost as much as it stung to admit Annie was still a badass.

Her and Eren battled it out in the streets of Trost, pretty much wrecking the place as they did so. It was like that Godzilla movie that Marcy and Anne had begged her to go see with them, the one where the human characters took up way too much screen time.

Was still a fun movie, especially since her and Anne mocked the poor choices of the characters all throughout like old timey movie critics or those old muppets who lived in a theater box.

“Come on, Eren! Kick her ass!” She cheered. She barely noticed the soft rays of noon shining on her.

Spending hours and hours watching something throughout the night well into morning, and then past morning, would do that to you.

**********

Markus Waybright hadn’t seen his daughter throughout the entire weekend.

She’d come home on Friday, said she’d do some homework but would be down later, and had only ever come down since then only to acquire food or go to the bathroom. From the look of it, she had been up for hours and hours, not even changing her clothes.

Markus wouldn’t admit to being the best father, but he was at least better than what that horrid she-beast claimed in the divorce proceedings so he was starting to get worried.

He stood in front of the oven, waiting for his leftover pizza to finish reheating so he could go back and start watching the Sunday night game. Looked to be a good one, he wondered if he could convince Sasha to come down and-

“NOOOOOOOOOO!” A voice wailed from the floor above him and Markus launched into action: He sprinted towards the stairs and took them three at a time as he all but flew towards Sasha’s room, his worry growing to near fatal amounts as he heard sobbing coming from behind her door.

He all but tore the door off his hinges as he leapt into the room. “Sasha! Are you alright? Are you okay! What’s… going… on?”

His voice trailed off as he finally took in the scene and just felt, well, confused.

Sasha was still in her pajamas, sitting on a beanbag in front of her tv. A number of empty chip bags and soda cans were littered around her as well as a tissue box. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were red rimmed. she blew her nose and sniffled as she turned a teary gaze onto him.

The screen showed one of her friends' weird japanese cartoons. Some weird hunched over giant creature that looked like a naked mutant was galloping away into the sunset while a blonde girl in a brown military jacket cried for someone named Ymir, probably the monster, to come back.

It cut to a japanese girl carrying some weird brown haired boy with deep eye lines away on her back.

“So uh, you’re fine the- oof!” Markus braced himself as his daughter got up and launched herself at him, wrapping him in a teary hug as she babbled about something that went right over his head.

“Dad! Ymir turned out to be a titan but her and Christa were still in love with each other except she got kidnapped by the traitors and now she’s going off with them and Christa is so sad and, and, and-” She kept crying as on screen, some giant armored man ran off with another, different, brown haired boy in his weird skinless hands.

“You, um.” He swallowed and tried to think about what he was supposed to say about all of that. He wracked his brain for some sort of answer and found none. Finally, he simply just awkwardly patted her on the back. “Why don’t we go down and watch some football?”

Sasha just stared at him disappointedly through her tears. At least she wasn't crying anymore. She kept watching him before sighing and, walking back to the tv, put her weird japanese cartoon thing on pause.

‘Huh, didn’t know Netflix carried things like that.’ He wondered as he saw the logo.

He and Sasha walked back downstairs and Markus put the weirdness out of his mind.

**********

Sasha laughed as Anne made another strawlrus. She knew it looked lame, and she’d definitely need to nip whatever jokes came from this in the bud before they came back to Anne, but she just enjoyed herself.

“Hi girls!”

Sasha and Anne looked up at Marcy’s voice, watching the taiwanese teen run up to them through the lunch crowd. She beamed at them, bouncing on her heels as she stared.

“You okay Mar-mar?” Anne asked her.

“DidyouguyswatchAttackOnTitanyetcauseireallywanttotalkabouteverythingwithyouguysbutidontwanttoannoyyouifyouhaven’tyet!” Marcy said in such a rush that it was near impossible to separate the words from themselves.

Sasha and Anne worked it out in their heads, putting sounds to different words so they could respond.

Sasha wouldn’t lie, she’d actually been hooked by the get go. She hadn’t thought she’d enjoy it but my god was she wrong! The plot was gripping from episode one and she loved every minute of watching Eren and his two friends fighting in a world out against them.

Maybe she did sometimes picture Her and the girls in their places, it would be fun as hell if not for the man-eating monsters.

But the twists. Oh, the twists! Reiner and Bertholdt were the traitors alongside her girl Annie!? She’d felt as betrayed by that as Connie was! Ymir was a titan and also maybe from somewhere else? And her and Christa were maybe gay!

Sasha couldn’t explain why, but she felt weirdly invested by the relationship between the blue eyed blonde and her darker skinned friend and whether or not they were gay for each other. She couldn’t figure out why though.

Either way, Sasha was hooked like a fish.

Which made her feel extra bad about blowing it off before.

Sasha had made her lack of interest clear. She had tried to be somewhat kind about it, but she probably failed. She’d told Marcy she hadn’t planned on watching it.

She couldn’t go back on that now, it’d make her look weak! The girls would needle her over caving and then things would start to go wrong, arguments would rise, and before she knew it they’d be sleeping in separate rooms!

… Okay, maybe she wasn’t as over her parents' divorce as she liked to believe.

“Eh, didn't get around to it.” Sasha lied, scrolling through her phone notifications… and trying to ignore the white hot spike of guilt she felt from Marcy’s incredibly brief look of disappointment and sadness.

Whatever, Marcy knew how much Sasha cared for her.

She’d get over it.

BnHA Chapter 287: Family Reunion

Previously on BnHA: The Tomura For One VS Deku And Pals clusterfuck reached new levels of clustfuckery as AFO possessed Tomura’s body and stabbed Kacchan and Endeavor. Shouto was all “good thing I leveled up offscreen so as to be able to fly around whilst carrying 400lbs worth of people”, and did just that and it was like, damn, son. Meanwhile Deku’s rage went Mach 100, and he kicked Tomura’s ass for almost two whole seconds, but in the process he apparently forgot that IF TOMURA TOUCHES HIM THAT IS VERY BAD, and so he stupidly let Tomura touch him and Tomura was all “GAME, SET.” Fortunately for Deku, his quirk plays by its own rules, and so the chapter ended with us cutting to the METAPHYSICAL OFA/AFO PARANORMAL DREAMSCAPE OF MYSTICAL BULLSHIT, where AFO!Vestige was all “lol Tomura y u mad”, and Nana!Vestige was all “SUP DEKU, YOU’RE JUST IN TIME, LOOKS LIKE IT’S ASSKICKING O’CLOCK.” I’m paraphrasing a bit, but that’s more or less the gist of it.

Today on BnHA: AFO is all “well if it isn’t Tomura’s grandmother who I murdered that one time”, and Deku is all “?”, and AFO is all “fucking vestiges, man, wild”, and Deku is all “??”, and AFO is all “ANYWAYS GETTIM TOMURA”, and OFA is all “NOT SO FAST”, and Deku is all “???”, and really, same. AFO then goes off on some wild tangent about how Deku is unworthy because he couldn’t protect everyone and needed help from OFA and got mad about his friends being stabbed, which is such a cold take it gave me hypothermia, but it ends up not mattering since Deku and Tomura both wake up seconds later with OFA still in the possession of its rightful owner, HOW ABOUT THAT. The chapter ends with the LoV approaching on Gigantomachia’s back with Dabi practically salivating at the mouth, and Toga trying to reignite an old fandom blood feud. Toga why would you do this to me. Toga.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[CROWD LOSING THEIR MINDS] FINALLY THE NANA HAS COME BACK TO BNHA!! IF YA SMELLLLL WHAT THE NANA IS COOKIN!!!!! [RINGSIDE BELL CHIMING WILDLY] [LOUD AIRHORN NOISES]

“chapter 287: mistake” omg. yeah I’ll say you made a mistake, AFO. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE FLEETING LAST MOMENTS OF YOUR SHITTY EVIL LIFE

(ETA: so in all seriousness this must be referring to AFO’s belief that All Might/OFA made a mistake in choosing Deku, right? “I can’t believe you went and chose this shounen manga protagonist as your champion, what were you thinking.” I’ll just put this out there: however many comic books AFO read as a child, it clearly was not enough.)

wow Deku how slow are you

yes you’re inside OFA you dimbulb, did you think your clothes suddenly vanished out of the blue and the ghost of Nana just randomly appeared in the real world by some freak coincidence?? can you believe this kid. breaks his arms a measly 10-15 times in a row and all of a sudden he can’t think straight, get it together Deku

but also brb having a moment at the fact that his thoughts immediately run back to Kacchan, even with all of this nonsense going on and Nana about to lay the beatdown on AFO’s potato-lookin’ ass. forget that noise, all he wants to know is whether or not Kacchan is all right. fuckin’ geez. AM I OVERREACTING HERE A BIT. probably

(ETA: ALSO!! the way he just trails off!! “Kacchan is...” and then he can’t bring himself to complete the thought. oh my god my heart.)

HOLY SHIT

okay,

damn but this man sure knows how to ruffle my feathers. as eminently detestable as ever!!

could it be any clearer here that AFO is not on Tomura’s side?? for a moment I thought he had actually grabbed him by the back of the head in order to get him to look. but nope, he’s just resting his pointing hand on top of his head instead while he’s all “HEY TOMURA LOL IT’S THE GHOST OF YOUR DEAD PATHETIC GRANDMA”

for those keeping track at home, this would be the first time that Deku has heard this information -- that Tomura is Nana’s grandson -- and possibly the first time Vestige!Nana has heard it as well. Nana died when Kotarou was still a child, so for all we know the Vestige!Nana didn’t even know she had a grandson, lol. TODAY ON “MAKESTE RANTS AT LENGTH ABOUT THINGS THAT WILL PROBABLY BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE PANELS”, anyway moving on

lmao for the record I fucking LOLed at this giant question mark immediately bubbling up over Deku’s head

no idea what AFO is about to ramble on about now, haven’t read that far yet. but let the record show that Deku’s immediate reaction to hearing “BTW NANA IS YOUR ARCHNEMESIS’S GRANDMA LULZ” is everything I could have hoped for

(ETA: fandom nailed the shit out of this one with the confused Mr. Krabs meme lmao.)

okay so now AFO is monologuing at length about how he would sometimes have “riveting dreams” about the previous owners of all the quirks he stole. but once he gave the quirks away they stopped bothering him?? holy moly let me just take all the notes

okay so he’s saying that Vestiges are created whenever someone has their quirk stolen by AFO. but if they then disappear when he gives the quirks away, does that also mean that whoever receives the quirks also gets the original owner’s Vestige bundled in every time?? that would be wild okay hold up let me read the rest of this

so he’s saying that the Vestiges are actually the “consciousnesses” of the original quirk owners, which have become embedded in their dna or something. SOUNDS INCREDIBLY DUBIOUS TO ME LOL but on the other hand this is a world where children can be born with airplane heads, so my disbelief can hardly afford to pick and choose what it’s gonna be suspended at! anyways though, how does he know he’s the only one who was able to converse with them? did you conduct detailed six-month follow-up interviews with everyone you gave quirks to or what

and if it really is the case that this ability was formerly exclusive to him, isn’t that more evidence than ever that OFA and AFO are actually THE EXACT SAME QUIRK oh whoops am I getting ahead of myself again, sorry

MEANWHILE TOMURA IS ALL, “GRANDMA?”

“WHY AM I HERE, WELL LET ME TELL YOU A STORY, GRANDSON. YOU SEE THAT MAN GROWING OUT OF YOUR RIBCAGE THERE? WELL IT’S JUST THE FUNNIEST THING, ACTUALLY”

WAIT SO IS HE SAYING THEY’RE SOULS OR NOT??

this makes it sound like they won’t ever get to rest, which sure sounds like a soul thing to me. well whatever, soul, consciousness, I guess it’s just semantics at the end of the day

anyways though, so this asshole is finally done talking (I’m sure that won’t last), so now we can finally have the heartwarming reunion we’ve all been waiting for

sigh

-- actually, no, not “sigh”!! you know what!! because Tomura says “whatever the reason”, but that’s only because he doesn’t actually have a fucking clue about the reason. like, I don’t know if the knowledge that AFO killed Nana would be enough to give him pause, but if he knew the whole story and knew that AFO was behind not only Nana’s death, but the rest of his family’s deaths as well... now that would be a whole different thing

anyway. but at least it’s becoming clearer now why AFO spent all that time raising Tomura up as his heir and brainwashing him even though he seems to have been planning this body takeover the whole time. it’s all because he loves making people miserable! yaaaaay

btw HAS NANA HAD THE EXACT SAME MOLE ON HER CHIN AS TOMURA THIS ENTIRE TIME WTF. am I just the least observant person who ever lived lmao

lol wtf

ground: [randomly starts exploding]

Deku: “ONE FOR ALL IS BEING ERODED!!!” LOL IS THAT WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE, OKAY THEN. I’ll take your word for it

y’all I cannot fucking get over this “AFO growing out of Tomura’s hip socket like a fucked-up ventriloquist dummy” shit though

you do realize that absolutely no one can take you seriously right now, right?? it’s important to me that you know this

WHAT’S THIS NOW

seems like SOMEONE has had it up to here with a certain SOMEONE ELSE’S bullshit lmaooo bye Felicia

I SAID GOOD DAY!!

you guys why is he not dying!!

-- OH DAMN

love how Deku is just lying there like “YOU KNOW THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU’RE LIKE, THIS MIGHT AS WELL HAPPEN.” poor Deku

(ETA: where in god’s name is OFA Prime standing. why are my thoughts fully consumed by this lmao.)

are Nana and OFA Prime even doing anything?? why are they sticking their arms out like that. wait hold up is this all a big metaphor for the back-and-forth going on between Tomura trying to steal OFA and OFA being all “actually no you can’t, please enter your password and click on all the boxes with bicycles in them to prove you’re a human first”?

OH SNAP OFA PRIME SAID NO THANKS

“SORRY BRO WE’VE ALREADY MADE OURSELVES AT HOME HERE”

I have only just noticed that metaphysical!Deku has the same scars as actual!Deku. and yet his arms are not currently broken! that doesn’t really seem consistent to me but whatever!! maybe he saved right before the boss battle, that would be smart of him

anyway, that’s great and all that OFA Prime is here helping out, but I really wanted to see Nana fight AFO in a one on one though so I’m a bit disappointed. also why is it only the two of them?? where are Banjou and the others. of all the times to be sleeping on the job

FOR FUCK’S SAKE, THIS MAN

WOULD YOU STOP. WOULD YOU JUST QUIT IT ALREADY

oh shit hold up

doesn’t this confirm that the reason he wanted to transfer his power to Tomura is because he believed it would make him strong enough to finally take OFA because of Quirk Singularity? jesus christ. and here he was so sure of himself. but it turns out he doesn’t actually know shit! you can’t just fucking take OFA like that ya dingdong that’s not how it works

(ETA: SO, A THOUGHT -- is there any sort of subtle hinting here in the way that he words this? “if your strength is combined with mine”, as opposed to “if my strength is combined with yours”? no idea if the admittedly-so-small-as-to-be-almost-inconsequential distinction between those two sentences exists in the original Japanese or not, but I find it very interesting that the English wording implies that he’s the one adding Tomura’s strength to his own, rather than vice versa.)

now he’s insulting Deku!!

excuse me sir WHO ASKED YOU anyway. and never mind that being consumed by an, AND I QUOTE, “unquenchable” rage is your protege’s whole THING, and that he also needed your help to avoid being burned to a crisp a short while ago. where do you get off I swear

(ETA: also just want to point out that in the panel before this one he says that he’s been “watching through Tomura”, which pretty much confirms that his consciousness or whatever is alive inside of him all the time. Tomura is definitely not getting rid of this guy any time soon.)

WOW

first he calls Kacchan useless, then he calls Deku a simpleton, and don’t even get me started with Nana. just, you guys. this man is just... a very, very rude man

NOW OFA IS ALL “THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT MAKES HIM SUCH A GOOD PROTAGNIST YOU BUTTMUNCH” AND OMG PREACH

“DESPITE HIS COMMON SENSE” sdfkllk my man he already has one brother roasting him, take it easy guy

AHH WHAT

IS THIS BACK IN THE REAL WORLD

YEP

hahaha nice try Tomura

so Deku’s all “I didn’t lose my power! BUT” and I assume the “but” is the part where his arms are still broken and shit, and meanwhile Tomura’s body is almost healed up now finally

they’re both wiped out and now AFO is again petitioning Tomura to let him take over goddammit

“you won’t lose your mind” yep, he sure won’t! scout’s honor!! pinky swear!!

meanwhile Deku is getting fucking desperate flkjl;k my baby. and Machia is going to show up any second now too, probably. what else can fucking go wrong at this point

oh shit I shouldn’t have asked

get ready to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuumble, probably

OH MY GOD

WELL AT LEAST SOMEONE HERE IS HAVING A GOOD TIME. jesus

so as soon as he heard Endeavor was there he got all, “TIME FOR THE BIG REVEAL”, is that right? WELL JOKE’S ON YOU TOUYA, YOUR DAD DOESN’T SEEM ALL THAT CONSCIOUS AT THE MOMENT, SO THAT’S GOING TO DRAIN A LOT OF THE TENSION FROM THE SCENE WHEN YOU GO ALL REVERSE DARTH VADER ON HIM AND HE’S ALL “ZZZZZZZZ”

meanwhile Toga is having unsettlingly quiet angst

jesus christ Toga this is all we need right now

“WAS JIN-KUN NOT A PERSON” sdkfjlk Horikoshi I swear. please have mercy on this fandom. this is the debate that refuses to die!!

but seriously ffs, the issue isn’t that Jin deserved to die, it’s that the countless people whom Jin would have either directly or indirectly killed didn’t deserve to die either. people don’t only become people when you attach names and faces to them! we all loved Jin because we’d gotten to know him, but that doesn’t mean his life was inherently worth more than the lives of all the people he would have killed. sometimes there’s just no good answer

like, it’s just crazy to me that because the heroes are all “we want to protect everyone!” but then aren’t always able to do so because that’s literally impossible, whereas the villains are all “we don’t care about anyone other than the select few people that we actually like!”, the villains somehow wind up getting the better PR. it just so happens that it’s infinitely easier to be loyal to the interests of a few people as opposed to ALL THE PEOPLE. like, no shit, it’s easier to stick to your moral code when you barely have a moral code. and so the villains can kill thousands and no one bats an eye, but if a hero fails to save even one person they’re hypocritical moral failures. like what the hell

BUT ANYWAY, sorry to go off on a tangent there lol, it’s not really a big deal. I’m just preemptively trying to stave off more discourse about it lol but who am I even kidding

anyways lol, but of course they won’t kill you unless they have no choice, Toga. but when it comes to catch-22 situations, it’s a bit much to infer that the heroes don’t consider the villains people just because they opt for the choice that spares more innocent lives. I sure as hell don’t want my babies out here killing people, but to say that they can’t no matter what or else they’re no different from the villains is just...

anyway so the chapter has now just ENDED, just like that!! on a shot of Ochako’s face!

I SENSE ANOTHER THROWDOWN COMING. and it had better not be a total letdown like the last one! NANA BARELY DID ANYTHING HORIKOSHI, WHAT THE FUCK. I started out with such high hopes lol

but I will settle for Toga VS Ochako, and Deku VS Tomura: The Sequel: Shouto’s Revenge! SPEAKING OF HEROES WHO HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT MURDERING PEOPLE lmao
