I wish the anime hadn't cut this part out. It really highlights how afo presented himself as a savior to those who felt lost during the dawn of quirks which was how he was able to get such a huge following.

we see him do that during present day too as we see how he exploits those, particularly children, who society forgot about by taking them in and caring for them so they'll remain grateful and loyal to him.

thinking about yancey and his people pleaser attitude

Just some oc rambles on my mind.

Razul hanging around the village/towns near the mountain where Kami lives just to listen to what kind of stories they're telling about him, usually b/c they wild as hell and he finds it entertaining.

This he hears includes:

-the regular old crap about the 'mountain god' 'forest spirit' 'land god' etc... (Kami is not a god but he IS very long lived and damn near immortal so the locals think he's a god)

-the strange deer/kirin of the forest (this is, in fact, also Kami, just in his alt form. sometimes he likes to go for a wander about deep in the woods like this)

-"if you see the forest beast don't follow it, it'll lead you deep into the woods and you'll never find your way out". (false, unless you've done something to severely piss him off or are the literal scum of the earth he's not gonna hurt you. he is in fact very chill)

-"the forest beast helps lost travelers" (almost certainly true, he will lead lost people to safety/out of the woods. connected to the above, if you're lost and have pissed him off he may just, leave you there, let you find your own way out)

-not to hunt in the forest b/c it'll anger the mountain god as he protects the forest (not, entirely true. he does protect the woods and the villages in the mountain, but the wild animals roaming the woods are, wild animals. if someone hunts them, they hunt it. but don't you dare disgrace the life you have taken by wasting the kill, that will anger him)

-anything on the shrine grounds is sacred and must never be touched under any circumstances (true but misleading. they're not "sacred" they're just essentially his pets, and going onto someone's property and killing their pet is plain rude. you can pet and interact with them tho)

Also occasionally they have stories about HIM and his relationship with Kami which are very funny to Razul.

-there is a fire god who stops by occasionally and is a bitter rival/enemy to the land god. they fight for control of the mountain with the fire god leaving with his tail between his legs (not true. the sounds coming from the mountain are not those of a fight, but of them catching up and laughing. they're friends, not enemies or rivals. and what would Razul do with a mountain anyways? unless it's a volcano it's useless to him)

-the great fire that ravaged the mountain side years ago was the result of one of these fights (not true. there was a fire on the mountain years back, but it was started by a drier than normal season and a stray bolt of lightning during a thunderstorm, Razul being there was pure coincidence. he let the fire rage at Kami's insistence).

He's usually subtle about his eavesdropping but sometimes he cracks up and gives himself away. Sometimes he brings Kami with him to listen to what he hears, otherwise he just listens and tells them to Kami when he visits, as it makes a good story for the both of them.

being friends with byan is so weird bc they say they want you to have the balls to be bluntly honest with them, but then the very moment you're honest about something they don't like, they're peacing out, all "lmao ok friendship ended byeeeee"

the thing about the supernatural finale is that it was the first episode of supernatural i ever watched, and i watched it live which meant it was 3am in my timezone, and i'd only seen the destiel love confession clip before that and i didn't know what supernatural was like so i really thought that dean and cas might get together

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

brb imagining how Freckles and my eyeless albino circus boi Gwynn would be SUCH good friends

Gwynn just "oh my your voice is so lovely, I bet you're very pretty!"

and Freckles snorts "I ain't pretty, I'm missin' an eye!"

and Gwynn is just stunned and he just "... well, I'm missing both my eyes, but I still think I'm pretty, so it's possible, right?"

like no that's the first time in their life that Freckles can take that 'you're pretty even if you look different' (which is what they think about their family) and apply it to themself instead of just to other people

and they just hang onto his sleeve like "DUDE I WANT YOUR CONFIDENCE GIMME SURRENDER IT-"

Now doesn’t that feel better?

[isekyaaa]

One day I really want to make a side character that is very sociable, yet also a very good person. Always willing to help. Probably a lot of people is jealous of them. And then they get betrayed by someone "close" someday and instead of them being hurt, them being like, "I was wondering if/when that would happen lol"

my fear of roaches is so severe now....yes I CAN grab them with a paper towel and throw them outside without breaking a sweat and yes I AM the bug catcher in most of my living situations but I'm dying inside and if a hot girl WANTED to fall in love with me and catch them for me from now on I would Not say no

A surprisingly helpful bit of social maneuvering I've figured out from trial and error: Throughout your life, you are going to need things from people. Often, it's going to be on a deadline. And when that deadline passes, you generally want to know what's going on. So, you need to ask them.

There are two kinds of people, broadly, in this situation. The Shameless will tell you what the holdup is, with absolutely no regard for if the reason is "good enough". This is actually very helpful, because you get the real reason immediately, and can start working on a solution.

The Ashamed is trickier. People who are Ashamed are people who were often told they were giving excuses when they were trying to explain, and they'll often avoid you until they solve the problem on their own. This causes them and you a lot of stress, and often takes a lot longer to solve.

Long term, the strategy for dealing with people who are Ashamed is to provide a supportive environment where they're comfortable sharing any problems they're having with getting things done. But, there's a way to at least partially short-circuit that:

Provide an explanation for them.

One example might be "Hey Susan, I noticed that I don't have your report yet. Are you busy with other projects?" The readymade explanation signals that you're willing to accept an explanation, which is the big anxiety point.

Sometimes, you still won't get an honest answer- especially if the honest answer isn't "good enough" by the standards of the person who traumatized them. But, I've found that it often at least gets you a lie that lets you give them some slack or work around the problem.

Let's say that Susan has actually completely forgotten that she needed to do the report. She's horrified at herself, and completely unwilling to admit the real problem. But, she can now safely reply with "Sorry Jennifer, I've been swamped, and it got lost in the mix. I can have it to you in two days. Does that work?"

From there, so long as Susan gave an estimate for when she can actually do it, she and Jennifer can hash out a solution.

It's not a perfect solution, but it works astonishingly well for how small of a change it is.
