Richard Papen: If I had stayed in California I would've joined a cult. Also, Richard Papen: Goes to Hampden and joins a highly exclusive greek class, with a teacher who discourages him from taking any other classes. Then proceeds to follow the plan of a guy who's never heard of the moon landing, and help him to murder his best friend.

Mentioned before I’m not into MHA as a fandom so I’m not super versed in the lore; apologies if this is a stupid question 😅

I was wondering—do you think Fumikage was born with Dark Shadow or did he manifest at around 5 years old like most quirks? Like obviously Fumikage was born with…a bird head…which is presumably part of his quirk…but I’m not sure if that means he was born with Dark Shadow too.

Either way would be interesting tbh. In my mind Fumikage started hearing a voice in his head before Dark Shadow actually physically appeared, which probably freaked out the adults around him…

But also newborn Dark Shadow? Is actually a really cute idea? 😭 I guess he’d learn to talk and everything along with Fumikage. You were looking for drawing prompts; how about bby Fumi and Dark Shadow?

Idk just some thoughts. I don’t know why I never put too much thought into these two before my dash was full with you talking about them lol but you’ve given me a new appreciation for them!

I have drawn baby Fumi and shadow a 100 times and I will never get tired of them. In fact I have at least 8 more drawing in my queue waiting to be posted.

As for your question, in my personal hc I think it is exactly as you said, fumikage has always had Dark Shadow since birth but they didn’t have a physical manifestation until they were older. Tokoyami would always be able to hear and feel shadow and they might have even been able to see them like a sort of hallucination/illusion (like how Midoriya sees the vestiges). His parents thought his “shadow” was just an imaginary friends until they realized this was obviously something more serious.

Because of this tokoyami was your stereotypical horror child with the demon imaginary friend, even his own mother found him unnerving. There were probably times when Fumi was in extreme darkness that shadow was able to manifest “something” but they had no idea what they were doing, it was like having to teach yourself how to walk. But yeah tokoyami was not very well liked by the other children. From having a bird head to talking to yourself; the two of them were more often than not all alone.

I’m thoroughly indulging in ouid currently and this song is making me CRAVE an unhinged intoxicated party with the group

hi, gwyn! <3 good for you on the consumption ;) hope you had an enjoyable experience.

i love that song, specifically the original. and in the mental framework of a party with the greek class? well, you've inspired me to say the absolute least. i'm thinking along and the allure of the idea is not letting me go, it has sunk its venomous little fangs into me. i'm sold.

it would have to be at francis' country estate. let's say it's the beginning of spring; the weather is still reduced to a crisp, annoyingly damp chill, and the only factor thereof instilling hope and solace into you are the early bloomers peppered about, peering out of the drab ground — the snowdrops, the crocus, the primroses. on a day as unassuming as any, you would lock yourselves away in the house, consuming refreshing and biting drinks that would remind you of the season and the weather: all sorts of sours and sodas (whiskey, vodka, tequila); gin fizzes; french 75s (overindulged in by francis); gin blossom martinis...

the party, although thrown in the evening, would honestly feel like some sort of brunch, lightened mood and all. that's what the song is making me feel like. a light, breezy, morning-like get-together, with lots of dancing and thrashing about and screaming in one another's faces and taking apart your surroundings and trying your best to lose your mind.

of course, you would get hammered. upon waking up, you'd realize someone (most probably you) had tried to write horace's "hymn to bacchus" in lipstick — yours, dark red — on richard's chest (only until the first word of the third line, in shaky, smeary writing); someone had arranged the multitude of produced cigarette stubs to look like the side profile of ovid on the kitchen counter; someone had moved one of the house's most ancient, tremendously heavy sofas to the middle of the drawing room. francis would be mildly mad, but only until his first glass of champagne as hangover relief at as early as 10 in the morning. then all would be all right again, and you'd rinse-repeat the same thing the following evening.

Just todoroki dark choco and zuko

I never got far with My Hero, I was only at like the beginning of the Overhaul arc, so I can only judge Endeavor based on everything up till then (I heard he might have improved somewhat later on?), but again, it’s just Dark Choco being like “are you two okay??”. Especially since like, these two are teenagers while he is an adult

we were best friends.

we were enemies. we were beloveds.

we were broken.

oh, what a tragic story to tell;

two kids, just for the hell of it, trying to fix each other up with their own broken pieces.

trying to make each other whole when their pieces came from two completely different puzzles.

hoping that somehow, in each other’s lives, love was attainable.

when neither even knew to love.

i loved her.

she loved me.

we tore each other down and cried together when we crumbled.

just like children.

surprised when our fighting ended in pain.

surprised when our falling ended in broken bones.

maybe it was all an illusion from the start.

maybe we were nothing more than acquaintances of a past life,

somehow destined into meeting in this one, except in this one the compatibility was gone.

perhaps in another time, our pieces could have come together, could have formed a picture.

but this time we were nothing more.

nothing less.

dusty.

broken.

crumbling.

fallen.

in effort to bandage each other’s wounds, we abandoned our own,

until they bled out.

and that was the end of our story.

broken dolls, perhaps once porcelain;

hopeless fools for thinking we could repair one another,

shattered on the floor,

breathing in each other’s last breaths in an effort to continue on,

our blood spilling out on one another

and blending into a single red pool

of intertwined fates and tragic coincidences—

what once was and what never will be.
