He saw the fight with Geten, he knows how powerful this man was. If that stopped Skeptic, though, he would never have clawed through the ranks of corporate ladders like he has. So with what he can only assume was a vein protruding from his forehead, he storms over to Dabi. His height made it so he looked down on him.

"You need to have an attitude adjustment if you want me to do anything for you. I know you didn't pull me out of the battlezone out of the goodness of your heart," he seethed with a sneer. He was clearly up to something. Just what, he didn't know. "-- So I suggest that you stop being cryptic and tell me already."

  It was rare when the hospital let her out without a nurse. Days like this were normally spent with her children and yet…for once she thought it best to let them live their lives without her in their way. The snowy haired Todoroki roamed the cities street alone, quiet and content in her small freedom, just able to enjoy the fresh air.

However…that wouldn’t last. Come late evening and she knew she had taken a wrong turn somewhere. None of the shops looked familiar and she was sure the staff was starting to panic of her whereabouts. The streets were becoming more and more dangerous looking, the passerby’s more rugged and less friendly. “Oh dear…” She whispered to herself, grey eyes turning from one street to the next in hopes she could find the right way back.

‘‘Ain’t that the new Numbah Ones wife or somethin’?” She had heard one grunted whisper pass by.

‘Yah. Yah that’s her.” Came another with a low growl. Footsteps could be heard behind her as she went.

As panic began to set in, her feet took her down the sidewalk faster, her paranoia having her eyes watching behind herself and not towards her front where she should’ve been looking. Rei walked faster until she suddenly hit something sturdy in her path, smacking right into the back of another person she had no idea was in front of her. Great…

“I-I…I’m sorry I didn’t mean…!”

Izuku's afternoon was more or less peaceful, with the weather being as nice as it was there wasn't much for an on call hero to do either. After changing out of his gear to streetwear, Izuku went about checking out the food vendors and other stalls on the street. With summer right around the corner, his favorite flavors were finally available! Buying himself a watermelon ice cream taiyaki, despite getting odd looks from the vendor for the flavor choice, he made his way down the side street with it, keeping the brim of his hat lifted up out of his face while he enjoyed his treat. It really was a nice afternoon, no wonder so many people were out and about enjoying it.

@scorchedscion​ liked your post ““Why are all the bad guys kinda hot….”

“D-Did I say hot? Ahaha I-I mean, what I meant is-” Cue nervous sputtering.

    ‘‘Ah. Touya Todoroki. Or do you prefer Dabi? Tis a pleasure to see you again, boy.” The ancient darkness gave an ominous grin and a little wave. “You’re looking sweet, deer fellow.” Said the man who literally had no eyes.

          AS THE WIND HOWLED , ALMOST MAKING HER CURSE the weather, alina lowered her hood one last time and tucked hands into her pockets. cold would be an understatement, but that wasn’t the highest concern of hers at the moment. when the news had aired on the live television; the blue flamed villain revealing his true identity along with various other revelations, alina had been on the very edge. he did mention a pro, but thank god, not her. while she did have backup; the worst case scenarios readied in her mind, it was one of the things that frightened her more than she would’ve liked to believe.

          now, as she climbed the last of old staircase leading up to the roof of an abandoned building that hadn’t been difficult to locate, given that she had been here a few times before, her eyes scanned the figure she had expected to find.

          “ it was quite the show you put up there. “ she spoke in a rather casual tone, referring to the very broadcast that shook the world of pros few weeks ago.

          “ almost had me worried for a second. “

A very inconspicuous box is left for Zhongli with a blue ribbon on the top. Inside, a book on local tea varieties from Dabi's hometown with a couple of boxed tea canisters to go with it, and a traditional lacquered blue clay tea set painted with white lilies.

Tucked in the bottom is a quickly written note, "Happy Birthday Li, don't get used to it. -Toya"

"What is this..?"

The box was curious. It wasn't a design or type of box he had seen before, not even in his travels. He also wasn't expecting anything from anyone, so that made it all the more curious. The blue ribbon should have given him the hint, but that alone wasn't enough.

It wasn't until he opened the box that he started to get even more clues as to who had left it. Searching through the contents, surprised that someone had left him, not only a book about tea variants of which he had never seen or ever heard of before, but also some finely boxed teas and the most beautiful tea set he had seen in a while.

Finally, his hands carefully picked up the final piece of the puzzle-- The note. Reading it attentively at least a couple times to make sure he wasn't reading it wrong, until the name at the end eventually told him without fail who it was from. The name alone bringing a start of a smile to his lips, but when he remembered each and every little gift left in the box with each repeated read, his smile only widened and released a soft sigh.

"..Toya really does pay attention well, doesn't he?.. Thank you."

09. LAST FILM / TV SHOW : ‘ Memoirs of a Geisha ’ / ‘ Arcane ’

10. INSPIRATION :  The muse I write is enough of an inspiration on their own. Most of the time, I write characters I absolutely adore or start loving through writing. AMVs are always helpful along with some music pieces I pick for certain muses and/or dynamics. So if I need a boost for a certain thread, I try to find inspiration through these.

11. STORY BEHIND URL :  The ‘ knight in sour armor ’ trope, is related with the ‘ knight in shining armor ’. As you can see in my blog's description, it means: ‘ a cynical character who realizes that they live in a cruel and brutal world and reluctantly still does the right thing ’. Compared to the knight in shining armor, the knight in sour armor is still a HERO ( sometimes the anti-hero but mainly the hero ), a knight, but isn't an idealist. Cynical, having gone through a traumatic past most of the time, they don't believe in justice but they stick to their morals and choose to be good, despite the world having treated them cruelly. I discovered this trope when I first watched ONS, in an edit made for Mikaela. I really liked it and soon I realized that it describes the type of character I tend to like, so I chose it for most of my social media accounts. Here's some additional info from an article I've found:

They choose to fight not because they believe they will truly make a difference, but because it's the right thing to do.

More often than not these characters are in settings that feature black-and-gray morality. They're usually survivors who still strive to be Lawful Good or as close to it as reality allows them to be. They are willing to bend the rules to save them.

You really have to be a good guy to believe that humans are bastards and care about them anyway.

These characters fit one of two personality types. Members of the first type are former wide eyed idealists but who still find something beautiful in their former ideals that they want to hold on to. Those of the second type are born cynics, who would make natural jerkass antiheroes, but who nevertheless have devoted themselves to a code of honor or fair play. In either case, these people tend to have gone through (often painful) character development in their past.

I believe those characters to usually be the anti-hero that changes after their meet with the knight in shining armor. Often the deuteragonist, and sometimes the mentor.

// WHAT TYPE OF VILLAIN ARE YOU ?

Calmly Evil

You chose your path fully aware of what it entails. you're the suave villain, unflappable, smooth as silk. you're capable of cruelty without breaking your facade, and live with the consequences without hesitation. when you die, you're surprised. through all of your planning and posturing, you had forgotten that you too were mortal. but even as life slips through your fingers, you manage that smile. that same smile.
