I thought I swore off my hero academia years ago but here I am reading Yesterday Upon the Stair. Not particularly interesting (not a fan of Fanon Deku) and hard to read (cringy) at some points, but I was curious about what people were raving about. Maybe it’ll get better in the next 50 chapters. Just gotta hold out and maybe I’ll find a great fic. 4/10 so far.

#complaint time yay #I was a bit wary of the fic due to the BAMF tag but still expected the scenes to be minor #fortunately there are like maybe two scenes that ‘fit’ that tag so far #on the other hand the writing hyper focuses on whatever Deku’s up to so the aforementioned scenes really stand out #the scene where Deku first goes ‘my friends are scarier than you’ really pulled me out of the fic immediately #when he starts trash talking bakugou I was convinced he was going to get an ass beating (because it’s pre redemption bkg) but bkg just… let #him go away? (according to my memory but it’s really trash)#the second scene where his weird tagline shows up again against shigiraki the part where we usually get to see other classmates interact #with Deku he starts pulling out the intimidation tactics? and they’re working? it’s so jarring I actually had to look away from my phone to #process it. everybody hates writing about large groups of characters but the background characters in this fic are so in the background you #don’t even hear about them. I saw platonic tddk in the tags and he’s been mentioned once? by bakugou?#the fic is so focused on Deku that you barely know if canon is happening in the background #a more in depth description of his childhood would be nice too #suddenly throwing in that he was mute for a little bit when he was seven (???) and that he has a massive fucking scar on his face is a bit #surprising #anyways my tumblr is glitching out so I’ll continue at a later date #rant #not tagging this as mha because I want to rant into the void #also I’m at chapter 10 so if my (very biased) critiques are wrong then whoopsie #oh man this *is* getting really hard to read (cringe wise)#additional ranting about not having any updates on canon: are we supposed go believe that Deku and Ochako are buddy buddy like usual? their #dynamic is completely different?#we barely to get to see him interact with non dead people #or almight and Aizawa
