I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

The way I wanna see Luis go completely apeshit and just start doing things that he wouldn’t do in canon. In canon we know he feels immense guilt for his past and wants to make up for it all. We see him trying to do good over and over again. He wants to redeem himself and prove he’s changed.

But a part of me so badly wants him to kinda just,, lose the plot for a hot minute. The whole “be the monster they always said you were” kinda ordeal. He gets left for dead after the Krauser attack and nobody came back for him so he’s kinda bitter about it. I know it would be out of character because of what we’ve seen him go through and do, but… I do kinda wanna see it happen anyway.

[thedevillionaire]

Hi, I hope this is all right asking like this. I found your blog and fics recently and they're amazing, I love them. I was wondering, do you have a meet cute for Ceberus and Kia, and if you don't is that something you would maybe consider writing some time? Thank you!

Hey, anon, and thank you back for the lovely compliment! ❤️ So...I do have a meet cute - well, a meet, anyway; you get to decide whether it's cute or not, I guess 😅 - but it's vanilla, I'm afraid. This is not the first time I've been asked about how they met, though, so I'm finally activating the "vanilla fic holding place" sideblog I've thought about activating for, uh...quite a while. Anyhow, if you've got any interest in that at all, I actually have a whole series of this stuff and if you still want to check it out you can find the fic of first time they meet here.

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

So like, mini disclaimer before the post. I was not and am not a believer in the "Sonic is going to be forced to choose between his original friends and the shatterspace variants" theory, nor the companion to it "all the variants are just gonna essentially live with their memories inside the og friends' hearts"

However, I do have brainrot over the idea of Nine meeting Tails in his dreams, and some of these ideas require a prerequisite of "in which Nine exists within Tails' heart but does not currently have a body.

ㅤ

Imagine, if you will, a setting post canon in which the variants exist within the hearts of the original and (kingdom hearts style) they would just need a body/vessel of their own to exist again. Tails is sleeping, and after dreams upon dreams of meeting the variants, experiencing their fleeting memories and their hurt (their feelings about everything), he comes across Nine.

Nine... Tails has had a hard time remembering much of his dreams while awake, but when he's dreaming, he remembers that Nine has been perhaps the angriest and most conflicted of all the variants. All of them want to be alive, of course. Tails wouldn't be surprised if *all* of them have been parsing through his own memories in exchange for sharing theirs.

But none have been so volatile as Nine, harder to reason with. The others at least face him more often than not, but Nine has directly done so few times.

But...Tails can't blame him for that, especially not after what he knows. He understands how Nine likely feels (abandoned, lonely, forgotten). Perhaps he wouldn't be so agreeable either if he fought tooth and nail for a better future, and the universe denied him that (nay, punished him to watch but to never have).

But tonight...

Nine is standing under a palm tree, facing the vast ocean past the beaches of Green Hill. Tails takes a few steps down the hill he's on, and soon enough he's standing off to the side (dream logic, he understands)—where he can see Nine from the front, but isn't standing directly in front of him or obstructing his view.

It's at this moment that Tails realizes he's never seen Nine so clearly before. The tips of his ears, to his permafrown, to his 7 mechanical tails, and down to his shoes. He's fought the fox before in his dreams, seen glimpses of him, but this is the first time he's had a chance to really see him.

Nine turns his head away from the sea, and suddenly Tails is beside him, mere feet away.

Tails opens his mouth, a dozen questions and sentence starters flying through his head. What eventually comes out is just a simple, "Nine?"

Nine smiles at that, and yet...Tails can tell almost instantly that it's not because he's happy or excited to see him. No, the smile is almost...accepting, if not a little bit sad.

Then, Nine sighs. "This could have been the other way around, but...it has to be you."

Tails hesitates for a moment before pointing at himself. "...Me? Why?"

"There are so many people connected to you—all of you, if my hypothesis is correct. It often is. You're me, so...you can feel what I felt. You could...feel how I feel."

And maybe it's true that Tails can feel what Mangey, Sails, and Nine are feeling, but all that proves is that one is affected by the presence of others residing within their own consciousness.

Tails shakes his head. "No. You're you, not me."

There's a moment of silence before Nine chuckles, and Tails continues, "I want you to know that you deserve to live as your own person, just as much as I do."

"Every time we've fought—here—I've asked you the same question. Do you remember it?"

Well, of course, Tails finds multiple questions as he tries to think back, but by keeping the terms of Nine's question in mind and employing process of elimination–

Nine turns back to the sea, squeezing both gloved hands into fists at his sides. "I was angry—among other things. I just couldn't understand why I was here. After everything I'd fought for, everything we'd been through together, I couldn't understand why he chose you. And every time I asked, you never gave me an answer."

Nine's right. Tails has never given him an answer to that question.

But to Tails...that question was never his to answer, at least in his opinion. Unless Sonic told him, Tails would never know why he put in for him, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge over worlds of new friends. All he does know (straight from Sonic's own testimony) is that Sonic would have never made the choice he did had he known it would lead to all this. Sonic had wanted home, Tails, and all his friends back, but he never meant to erase the other worlds. Even as he tries to pretend otherwise, Tails knows Sonic has been beating himself up for the choice he made ever since.

Shouldn't Nine know that—that Sonic didn't mean to hurt him, that Sonic feels regret, that Sonic wasn't intending to choose between one or the other?

"Nine–"

"Save it," Nine says, cutting him off. "It doesn't matter anymore. Sonic made his choice, but you still have that chance."

Nine turns back to Tails and holds out a hand.

Tails looks down, then back up at Nine. He hesitates for a second, but ultimately takes Nine's hand.

Tails is an observer, a spectator without form, as memories begin to play out before him in quick succession. Despite the lack of form, somehow his head begins to ache in pain that only grows over the moments.

And then, he begins to notice a pattern in the memories shown to him. Despite the pain, he recognizes the clear shift since a certain blue hedgehog—Sonic, of course—saves Nine from being hit by a train.

Each and every memory, if Sonic wasn't centered or mentioned in it, then his palpable absense was the focal point. Nine fought him, he worked with him, he almost lost him, he thought he lost him, and then he fought him again.

Nine had spent most of his life lonely, though he hadn't realized that until his life was almost over.

A waterfall of emotions hit him then, just before the highlight reel crackles into black.

And then, Tails is standing beside Nine again, head pulsing and heart pounding. He can hardly remember what he's just seen, and that waterfall of emotions seeps through his fingers as he tries to catch them, to study them.

All he knows is that he understands. Somehow, he understands why Nine feels the way he does. Now, more than before, he understands why Nine is hung up on Sonic the way he is.

Perhaps, Tails thinks, he understands how it feels for Nine to be with Sonic (and without him) far more than anyone else.

Tails musters up a look of determination as he stares into Nine's eyes, and he squeezes his hand. "I'll figure it out. No matter how long it takes, I'll make sure you—you, and Sails, and Mangey, and the rest—can walk along the beach. You don't deserve to sit here and watch like this. None of you deserved to have your lives taken."

And Nine... Nine smiles, like he just can't help it. "Don't you see? That's why it has to be you."

There's a feeling, an almost indescribable feeling, that strikes Tails' heart at that.

"I promise," Tails says.

And then, he’s sitting up in his bed, breathing deeply.

As he makes himself get up, get ready, and rush into his lab, there's little he remembers from his dream as always.

But he knows what he has to do.

I'll make sure of it, Nine.

Canon EraserMic

Okay, so it’s gonna be interesting to see how people react to this, but with this being one of the most popular ships in BNHA, I decided to go back and look at the canon relationship between these two.

No images as I’ve heard they mess with mobile users, however, if my followers prefer it, let me know, and I'll add them in future posts.

So, summary first;

Aizawa and Hizashi met in school through their mutual friend Oboro. Mic—seeing the shy boy—decided it was his job to loosen him up. They became friends and ended up in a trio. They were all close enough that the three made plans to open an agency together one day. However, that dream fell apart when Oboro died during a villain attack in his school years. Despite Aizawa pulling away from everybody, Hizashi remained at his side loyally, even when all he could do was just be there. After graduation, Aizawa threw himself into work but kept close enough contact with Mic that the two were always kept to date on each other’s status.

Eventually, they came to work at U.A. together as teachers, where Hizashi continues to support Aizawa to the present.

So, where to begin?

At first glance, these two are opposites; Mic is energetic, wild, loud, and wants to add fun to all that he does. Aizawa is a man who tends to brood, sleep when he can, and keep to himself while pretending to be rational.

Despite that, it’s easy to see that these two are friends. Aside from the fact that they’re always together—90% of Mic’s scenes are with Aizawa, or concerning Aizawa—the two share a fun banter with one another, play pranks on each other, feel at ease in the other’s presence, and usually offers support whenever the other needs it (one more than the other, but I’ll get to that). And—believe it or not—the two do have a few things in common.

Both are trolls who like to tease others, though Mic does this more and louder. They’re both protective and supportive of the ones they love (Aizawa of his students and Hizashi of Aizawa). And they like cats.

They banter a lot and even argue, but it never comes off as malicious or cruel. It's more like an old married couple. They’ve known each other for years and it shows in even their smallest interactions.

It’s difficult to explain, but there’s a reason it’s one of the most popular pairings in BNHA, to the point where it’s the main background couple in fanfics when it’s not the main couple. So does that mean their friendship is perfect? Sorry, but no.

There are a few minor flaws, but nothing worth mentioning, and one big flaw;

Mainly that there’s a huge imbalance in the emotional labor. Namely, Aizawa does none of it.

Hizashi does all the work in their relationship, emotional and physical. HE’S the one always reaching out to Aizawa and made sure to keep contact, as otherwise, Aizawa would have completely pulled away. I mean it, so far in the main series, the vigilante spin-off, and school briefs, Aizawa has only reached out to Mic once in the entire series, ONCE. And that was when he said that if “Mic’s going, he will too.” That’s honestly all I could find. And even then that could be read as him doing it more for Oboro’s sake than Mic’s. Okay, if I want to stretch it, he did have the students carry Mic out of a doorway after they obliterated him, but my point stands.

Mic on the other hand—as I said—is always reaching out to Aizawa.

He invites him to hang out, keeps him updated on his life, takes an interest in Aizawa’s, and supports him non-stop. Even in small things, like when people criticize Aizawa for expelling students, Hizashi always takes Aizawa’s side.

But the biggest thing he does is all the emotional labor. Hizashi does everything he can to take care of Aizawa’s emotional needs, whether it’s having others give him space, just being there, or even sacrificing his own needs. We see this both times with Oboro.

The first is after Oboro’s death. Hizashi is so devastated that he can’t even speak, but then laser-eyes starts talking and completely misses the fact that THEIR FRIEND DIED. Laser eyes doesn’t mean anything and in fact, means well—something Hizashi can see—but he knows that’s not what he needs right now. So, he immediately locks his feelings away and focuses on Aizawa.

Now, don’t think I’m blaming Aizawa for ANY of this, because I get it. Aizawa was traumatized after Oboro’s death. Pulling away was a defense mechanism to save himself more pain. And when Hizashi does try to reach out it’s never a good time as Aizawa has to take care of his students. (That and Aizawa just isn’t ready to confront his feeling.)

I’ll also say that it appears that Hizashi doesn’t need as much support as Aizawa as Hizashi seems perfectly fine. He’s always laughing, and smiling, and is easily able to balance three jobs. Therefore it’s reasonable to assume that Aizawa doesn’t realize Hizashi needs support at times as well. And to continue being fair, Hizashi doesn’t, not often anyway.

After Oboro died he had to force himself to keep himself together to take care of his best friend who all but fell apart. He didn’t have the luxury of falling apart or into depression, not if he wanted to keep his friend. He had to pull himself together emotionally, he had to move on and live his life without Oboro. He forced himself to heal, as I explained in depth here.

That’s probably why Mic is the most logical of the pair as he’s had to put aside his emotions for years to protect Aizawa.

A good thing though is that Hizashi’s work did pay off. Despite the snarky comments Aizawa makes, it is obvious that he has complete faith in Hizashi. We see this in how he trusted Hizashi to capture the doctor they needed to save Oboro. A smaller moment though is before that, on the way to see Kurogiri for the first time. Aizawa is emotionally wrecked and reaches out subtly for Hizashi to offer comfort.

There’s also the fact that Aizawa does genuinely feel relaxed in Hizashi’s presence. At Tartarus, Hizashi was able to calm Aizawa down, despite both being upset. There’s another scene in School Briefs where Aizawa—in his very Aizawa way—is shy and uncomfortable around All Might. (Not in a bad way, just a, “I don’t know what to do” way). The moment Hizashi shows up, however, Aizawa instantly relaxes and is put at ease. (Shame he’s already drunk by that point.)

In their school days, he seemed to admire Hizashi, who was Jack of trades. Even now, Aizawa respects Mic’s skills, though he spends most of his time reminding Hizashi to do his job right and not show favoritism. (Hypocrite.)

I will also say that his “rejection” of Hizashi is never cruel. He doesn’t like hanging in crowds like Hizashi does and doesn’t like the hangovers that come the next day, so it makes sense that he wouldn’t want to go out drinking. Because he works so much he’d rather spend his breaks sleeping. (Plus, his quirk tires his eyes out, something I sympathize with.) And I already stated why he can’t help Hizashi out emotionally.

So, while he doesn’t always show it or return the labor Hizashi puts in, it’s clear that Aizawa appreciates Hizashi and his efforts. And though he’s too much of tsundere to ever admit it, Shouta does care about Hizashi.

When thinking about the people he wants to protect, the ones Aizawa thinks of are Oboro AND Hizashi. Plus, Aizawa lets himself be dragged places by Hizashi. (The man brawls with villains larger than him daily, I think he could escape Hizashi if he wanted.) And even though Aizawa makes no secret he doesn’t want to be at gatherings, he doesn’t do anything to ruin anyone’s fun. He doesn't even try to leave, save a few feeble attempts. He’s not happy and finds hanging out a waste of time, but he participates to make Hizashi happy.

Conclusion;

Despite the definite slant in their relationship in canon, it is blatantly clear that these two are close, even though they’re polar opposites. I wish both sides were explored more, and we got to see Aizawa return the care Hizashi gives him, but all in all, I love them. In my opinion, their friendship is one of the better parts of BNHA.
