can't blame him, his intuition is v v good~

yes yes as a wise and incredibly good-looking man once said, "every journey has its final day. there is no need to rush." 😌

hskdjskdj if you provide me with the art or video of your oc then most definitely!!! but also if you wanna do something similar just for a post or for a series for your blog, do lemme know, i can code it for you! i have the base code so creating something similar shouldn't take too much work! i don't mind doing it for my friends hehe c:

a walk alongside the harbor sounds so nice... sighhh oh to walk arm-in-arm with such a refined gentleman.... yes yes feel free to openly gush about your faves too, i love it when people get all excited talking about their favorite characters hehe

"a jar of expensive candied petals" i'm-- slfjsldkdl you're making me blush stoppp 🙈 ofc, let us release the plot bunnies into the wild!!! or, well, i'm holding back from releasing them in my blog for now bc tumblr put me in shadowban jail- BUT as soon as they release me i'm releasing a hoard of them and no one can stop me >:/

xiao do be like that... but i think it's good cause i get distracted too easily sometimes!! so he keeps my attention on the game hehe and my gosh kazuha is my first character for crowd control ( i mean ig jean is too but i like kazuha more oops sorry jean ;| ) and he's so good!!!

kazuha sees my simping and he's just like "nope" lol i love my anemo team it's so fun to have xiao-kazuha-jean <3 one day, i will build heizou... one day....

qiqi is so adorable i love her yes i'd like to adopt her thank you wait whatttt omg she's came home to me twice now... mona has yet to grace me with her presence... but tbh i played her on the gaa event and i... didn't really like her playstyle that much, so i'll take another qiqi if i lose another 50/50. or a diluc. i have his stupidly handsome outfit ready for him.

hubby is a good shielder and dps!!! try your luck and pull for him!!! i don't have him on my acc but i played him so much using my brother's acc where's he built as a dps- and hskdjsjdh he's so good ;w; oh is al haitham a 5-star character?? big oof, i thought he was gonna be a 4-star 😶 welp in that case he might not come home then... cause i'm prepared to spend whatever is necessary to bring zhongli home...... 🙃

also my day has been good so far!!! i hope yours has been great too <3

ty, zhongli, but we're like 12 minutes late and you're walking so slowly. (/lh) djwkkdkks ty, rin !! i don't have a genshin oc but if i ever need your help for similar things, i'll keep that in mind ;D

zhongli's voice is very calming, 100/10 would ask him to serenade me to sleep while he talks about cor lapis 🙏 aaaaa, me too !! when people talk about the things they love >>> nooooo, rin, have you seen the way i talk about those two??? i swear i word-vomit about them so much it's crazy 🏃 but ty tho! i'm terrible at holding back, hehe. just know you're always welcome to do the same about *cough* zhongli *cough*.

( discussions about banner leaks !! )

how dare tumblr put one of my fav writers in shadowban jail <//3 having to email them and then wait and then do a test post... it's definitely not a pleasant experience. please give rin's acc back and let her post more wonderful stuff??? i just saw that you moved blogs btw, so i'll follow real quick hehe! when you release new works, i'll be there to read and gush about them !!

ayato and al-haitham need company on my manifestation list, so i'll be adding xiao and zhongli to it >:) and oooo, if you build heizou, does this mean you'll be playing a mono anemo team??? 👀 that'd be super cool, people who build mono-element teams really have my respect 😭🤝

as a heizou main, the last part is so funny because i only recently got him to lvl 80 after maining at lvl 70 ever since i got him (but he still slays hilichurls like a pro) <//3 good luck with farming, rin !! go beat that ruin serpent to a pulp and as for the onikabuto's, i mostly search through the places we visited for the cleansing ritual, tatarasuna, and the thunder sakura trees! or you can search up farming routes~

the fact that you have no mona and c1 qiqi while i have no qiqi and c1 mona... ah yes, the contrasting destinies taste absolutely delicious here fjkwkdkskf mona is a good buff support, but i can understand why her playstyle isn't everybody's cup of tea !! at least, you got to a free trial for her from the event kfkwkkds >:)

DILUC <3 i have mine benched since i'm not much of a claymore enjoyer (maybe i should try to main him with klee artifacts for one day) but i'll be manifesting him for you !! his playstyle is super cool >:) i was busy fawning over his smile until i read kaeya's letters which was a cold angsty slap to the face <//3

from what i heard, al-haitham will be a five-star !! but dw, i think his banner is going to arrive later than zhongli's, so go all out for hubby !! hmm, maybe you might even have enough to pull al-haitham if you're not tempted by other banners??? 👀

#my day has been great too btw! i only got to eat a slice of caramel pudding for lunch because i don't have a sweeth tooth ;(#make sure to take care and rest well rin !! <3 #ask box! 📬#visitor: dearest rin! 💠

Omg why are you losing so many followers youve been drawing gay shit for forever??? (Or maybe i as a gay was just interpreting it that way)

Because I literally spammed people every day for one week lmao. And also, a lot of people follow others for specific content. The moment I stop drawing that exact thing they followed me for, they unfollow me. There are also accounts that follow just to make you follow them & if you don’t, they unfollow you after a while. There’s people who followed me for haikyuu & weren’t interested in BC content, and there were people who followed me for BC content but got showered in gay art instead and that was not their cuppa tea.

But mostly, i start appearing on people’s feed the more I post. So having me post incessantly for one week made me show up on feeds that I hadn’t shown up for a good while, so there were probably people who forgot they had followed me in the first place & me posting was a reminder to unfollow.

Truthfully, follower counts are dumb. Yes, it is important for you to have a high follower count for you to get attention, but the amount of people actually following you if you don’t have a consistent art style & rarely ever post something with different vibes than your usual ones, is equal or less than 1% of your total amount of following.

My instagram tells me I have 43k. I do not have 43k people following me. I’ve had 43k that once saw my account & pressed the follow button, but their feeds are filled up with other people’s accs that interest them more than mine (as well as my own feed does not show all the content of the 200+ something people I follow, unless I scroll down till the depths of hell to find every single post on that day and then do so on the next day as well).

Essentially, 95% of your followers are there because of content. They want to see what entertains them. Most of them don’t care about the artist and don’t interact with them at all. Many of them are scared to, given the high follower count. Social media & big accounts make people forget that there are other, real, living & breathing people that are behind them all.

So, to many, I was just a random artist they found and “lol”ed at one of my comics & pressed follow without thinking about it. Most of them don’t go to my account and see all other art I’ve posted to see if they actually like what I do, or me as a person and as an artist at all.

People who don’t know this get really discouraged when they don’t earn a lot of followers, or when they lose a lot (like I did). And some people think you gotta have hundreds of thousands to be famous. I’ve seen accs going around that paid for ads, that had over 150k followers and less than 1k likes on their posts.

Truly famous, loved, growing and/or steady accounts have an amount of likes per post proportional to their follower count. For example, if someone has 150k followers, most of their posts will vary from 20k to 100k likes.

When I was growing my account because I hopped in the fandom bandwagon and stupid little me didn’t know that would only make me crash later, I had like 20~30k and some of my posts reached more than 20k likes (because people liked my stupid comics). Nowadays, I’m not part of the fandom that made me grow anymore. I’m part of a very underrated one (Black Clover), as well a I am drawing a very underrated ship (LuGna) that above all else is getting hated on. I have everything against me in this, so it’s no wonder I lost so many followers.

They didn’t wanna see gay art. They didn’t wanna see Black Clover. They didn’t even know what the fuck was going on. Not everyone paid attention or kept up with my warnings. Despite me explaining multiple times in multiple posts what the Thunder Flames project was about, a lot of people still didn’t know what I was doing that for.

The thing about being a big follower count is that, unless you’re actually loved for what you do (and to do that, once again, I need to emphasize that you need to keep a steady rhythm, a steady vibe, a steady you. Because people follow you for your first impression on them, and you gotta keep up to that first impression if you wanna keep your followers.

I’m unsteady. One look at my gallery and you’ll see how disorganized everything is. Oh, lookit, a 1 min speedpaint of a random drawing I did on an old piece of paper! And right on the left there’s a stupid random comic I did–on the right there’s this super detailed, shaded drawing I’ve done that actually looks terrible to me and I will 100% archive it later, and then there’s B&W mixed with gray shaded, flat colored and fully shaded characters of different fandoms + OCs from commissions and whatever else.

The thing is, I made my follower count based on a fandom, and now that I’m not there most of that follower count does not have me on their feed. And most of them do not want me on their feed. Now, I’m trying to build a follower count for who I am as an artist, because the few people who have actually stayed and followed me throughout the years know how inconsistent I am in terms of art style, fandoms and everything else.

A solution to this would me either keep creating/posting the same thing all over again (just in different patterns), or creating original content (which I do plan on doing at some point). But for now? Since my follower count does absolutely not reflect on how many people actually like me and/or my art, I’m going to be as chaotic as fucking ever and do whatever the fuck I want.

So yes, I do find it comical that I lost 1k followers over this and am not fazed in the very least, especially because I literally foreshadowed losing 1k and hit the fucking jackpot.

The only reason I’m talking about this at all is because 1- it’s impossible not to notice my follower count decreasing, especially because every new 1k I thank people publicly through stories; 2- some people were actually worried I was upset over it and I have to 3- show that I am not, while simultaneously trying to show people that just because you’re losing followers doesn’t mean you have to stop doing what you want to create content to please people. It doesn’t mean you should be upset, and it doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is bad or wrong.

It means you’re fucking renewing your followers & you’ll now grow for what you’re trying to grow for, bitch. That’s what it’s all about.

Obviously, people do take a great risk doing this. I am taking a great risk doing this. I could’ve lost 5k, I could’ve lost 10k. But I only lost 1k! And that’s because I believe in the project I worked on; I knew there were people out there who enjoyed what I was doing and it’s on them that I was focused on. On the people who supported me AND my art, not just that one single funny comic post I did 3 years ago.

This answer is 100% a lot longer than what you could’ve possibly expected for and I am typing this while being awake for more than 24h so I’m sure that I’ve repeated myself a lot and that there are a lotta typos or w/e and I apologize for that!! But I’m too lazy to go back to read everything over & turn this into a neat post & I’m pretty sure I could answer your question in the first paragraph.

Oh and also. Yes. Yes I have been drawing gay shit ever since I’ve become an artist because I’m so fucking pissed at the lack of canon gay content in a way that it’s depicted as a normal fucking romantic couple instead of having eeeeeeeeveryone point their finger to the gay couple and scream “HEY THAT’S GAY!!! THIS CAN’T BE PART OF THIS VERY HETEROSEXUAL SHOW WHERE EVERYONE IS OBVIOUSLY HETEROSEXUAL EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THE CHARACTERS HAVE EVER SAID THAT EXPLICITLY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE CREATORS ARE EITHER HETEROSEXUAL OR TOO AFRAID TO LOSE AUDIENCE IF THEY TREAT GAY PEOPLE AS NORMAL PEOPLE!??!! WHAT SORT OF ABSURD NONSENSE IS THAT??!! GAY PEOPLE AREN’T NORMAL!! THEY’RE GAY AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A GAY SHOW JUST FOR THEM IF THEY WANNA GET SCREENTIME” and yadda yadda yadda.

I’m tired of this bullshit. Ever since I was an artist I’ve been rooting for gay ships in shonen manga while knowing they would never happen just because they were gay, and now that we are in our Blessed-By-Satan, Pandemic-Chaotic, What-The-Fuck-Is-Going-On, We-Don’t-Know-If-We-Wanna-Go-Back-Or-To-The-Future-Or-Just-IDK-Fucking-Die year 2020, in which the LGBT community is thriving and being louder than ever to fight for our rights, Me, in my twenty four years of fucking age, having gone through several fucking disappointments ONLY regarding this matter, am sitting here on my ass, hopeful as all galactic, glittery shit that for some fucking reason, my new OTP formed by very underrated characters from this very underrated franchise in the southern and western communities, becomes canon because my stupid eyes can see chemistry between them even though those stupid haters’ can’t. But that’s because they’re stupid and homophobic, and they really should just shut the fuck up. I don’t wanna dream, I want to believe. Let a bitch pray in peace.

But even if I’m getting ready for disappointment, I’m gonna make this project happen and I’m gonna have a shit ton of artbooks from this Thunder Flames project inside my fucking garage if no one wants to buy them. But I am going to invest a shit ton of money in it and I am going to have these artbooks come to life. Because I am spiteful and petty and homophobes should shut the fuck up, and I wanna do what I wanna do bc as an independent artist, I’m building my future with my own two, very toned and buff by now from all the drawing I did, hands.

God fucking damn it.

Jesus christ I’m just rambling at this point, I’m so sorry. If anyone ever reads this out of context people are going to be so confused.

But that’s fine. They won’t. You know why? Cuz I got almost 11k followers here on tumblr but less than 0.5% gives a shit that I’m here, so I’m safe.

Have a nice day, drink your water and fuck homophobes. Peace

Who are some of your Favorite people here on Tumblr ?

Hohohohhooh this will be a long post

@paimania : First up is Pai. For starters she’s like, the nICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD- she’s so fun to talk to and everytime we chat is just a blast! Even though it’s short because suck at keeping a conversation going LMFAO- I’ve known Pai for like... 2 years now, and I can say that she’s just an amazing friend to have, I remeber when she proposed the idea of a collaboration between her AU and my OCs, best moment of my social media life, it really changed everything for me. Thank you Pai

@jordanthecat11 : Jordy is just a big mush of sweETNESS, literally she’s just AMAZING- I met her through Pai since she was Pai’s main contributor to BATMC. It was awkward at first, but as we got to know eachother I say from my point of view I got really comfortable talking with her! Not only that she is like...so caring. So. Very. Caring. There will be times where I’m not feeling to well, and she takes the time to send me a message on discord to check up on me. I look up to her a lot, she so talented and creative and just overall the kind of friend you want to have. ❤️

@ros-doodles : Ros was the third person I met on tumblr. And the first person (besides Pai and Jordy) to interact with one of my OCs, Raziel. At first I got a wave of anxiety mainly because long before I actually existed on my tumblr acc, I would look at her art and be really inspired. She was an artist I really looked up to and I was so shocked when she commented on one of my posts saying she wanted to interact with Raziel. Not only that we started to talk on discord and..can I just say she is the most understanding person ever? Like really this girl is so gentle, sweet, soft, and just a precious bean who I will protect forever. I think the one flaw that she has tho is that she won’t admit sheS A FUCKING GOOD PERSON. Because she’s stubborn as hell and I need to smack some loving sense into her every now and then.

@wushfo : Fourth person I met on tumblr, gotta day this girl is weird.

..weirdly amAZING- SHES FUNNY AS HELL! She makes me smile and laugh so much! First time we met I was super shy and shocked that she actually started talking to me. I remember our first rp together, it was the thing that got me into rping in the first place. She messages me whenever she can to brighten my day, even if I’m upset, and hands me advice when I need it. She’s just an amazing person to be around and i love each and every one of her OCs to bits, love you BICH-

@sibuhleen : At first me and Sib didn’t know eachother too well mainly because I only knew her through Pai, it wasn’t until we did an art trade when we started to talk more often! I have to say, SHOW THIS GIRL SOLE LOVE AND RESPECT BECAUSE SHES SO GODDAMN AWESOME! Literally, she may not think it but she’s so fun to be around. I love her very much, and I don’t get to talk to her as often because I don’t want to bother her, she has a life outside of tumblr after all! It makes me feel so warm inside knowing that she likes my OCs just as much as I love hers, and whenever we talk it always brings a smile to my face. And sib you may or may not read this, but I will always be here if you need to talk❤️ love you gurl!!

@mythical-things : I met Myth last May, and it’s been one of the greatest things thats ever happened to me. She’s truly just...an amazing girl whos gifted with so much talent. She’s one of the people I really look up to when it comes to art. Each of her OCs and stories are unique, and I strive to become a better artist like her! AlsO-- I like rLLY LOVE ALL THE ART CHAINS WE DO!! its so fun to bring the stories we've come up with to life, and seeing it all pay off is just amazing. IM happy that you enjoy the shit that we do, and I just wanna say to sTOP BEING A HYPOCRITE SOMETIMES. Also, She works really hard in what she does and I’m proud and happy to call he one of my best friends. Lately she’s been feeling a bit down, but that’s ok, I’m here for you Myth! I send my everlasting love ❤️ I love all the times we talk and ramble and rp, the stories we come up with are so much fun to mess around with (aswell as the shitposts-) and i just ant you to know how much you make me happy💕💕

@jsweetsdraws : The Meme to describe Me and Jess is “I’ve only known Jess for a month, but if anything were to happen to her I’d kill everyone in this room, and then myself,” because I WOULD. LIKE HOLY SHIT THIS GIRL IS A BEACON OF SUNSHINE! She works so hard, despite some things that she’s been through. I love all of her OCs and artwork, her style is just so niCE lookin ;) not only that she’s so sweet and funny, and I love staying up for hours with her talking about stories and OC interactions, it really makes my schooldays a lot better than how they are ❤️❤️ and if anyone screws with her I wiLL FITE THEM. BAK OFF BITCHES IM HER PROTECTOR!

@nolalistra : I don’t talk much with Nol, but god her OCS are so damn pretty. Not only that her personality is so damn pretty. I can say how much she really inspires me. The stories she created are so interesting! And honestly she’s like super chill, and super great. Like she’s the kind of person you can be open with and feel comfortable when talking with her. Normally I’m a anxious and paranoid person, but with her? Nope, I’m 200% comfortable. Love u BOI-

@alavidere : I just met Al, but I can already say that she’s like.. fuckin FANTASTIC. Literally, she’s really sweet and her personality just embodies candy and everything nice in the world. Once again, she’s another artist I will stalk for hours, her anatomy is just 😔👌 and her OCs are 👀❤️ it surprises me that she likes my shit too! Never thought that would happen bUT hERE WE ArE- Also I have no idea how she’s able to stay so committed and productive with her drawings- heck she’s running a full on webcomic by herself and idk how- teach me your ways talented beAN- AND I HOPE I CAN GET TO KNOW YOU MORE ASWELL!! >:VVV❤️❤️❤️

Also fun fact, I knew each and every one of you before you knew I existed. I remember when I was younger id scroll through your blogs and see all this good aSS artwork and id be like “these are my idols-” HAHAHA

Target [Dabi x ua!Reader] Chapter 4.

Hey there, boys and girls :) I'm so sorry this took a bit longer than promised, but yesterday as soon as I got home from college I collapsed in my bed and I forgot to post this.

Anyways, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU START:

-Time lapses may be a little bit fucked up but just because I needed to change them to fit in the story better! So, if something seems out of place, it's probably that - Also guys, I've got the amazing oportunity to get my OC (the girl I imagine when I write this) drawn by an incredible artist. Of course, this is a Reader Insert so you don't have to imaine her as I do but if you could please chec it out it'll mean a lot to me! He's also drawn his OC Ren thats really similar to mine (in quirk abd stuff) and he looks crazy good as well :) You can check them out on this link His tumblr acc is @unlikelypickle and you should def follow him and check out his amazing art :)

There are more notes at the end!

Links to:

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3

Read it in (AO3)

Or below the cut

No one moved for a moment.

While Dabi appeared to be in a calm manner, he was in high alert, waiting for any movement and he could tell the rest of them were the same.

All eyes were on the angry kid, particularly on his still smoking hands.

The silence caused by the situation allowed everyone on the room to listen clearly at the still going interview.

“Mr. Eraserhead” A man said. “You claimed it was for the student’s safety… but in the middle of it all, you urged your students to fight” He added. “What were your intentions at that point?”

If it wasn’t because of the little explosions that started to go off from Bakugou’s hand, Dabi would surely have turned to the T.V. to listen what possible retarded excuse could the Pros have for the incident.

“Since we had no way of grasping the full nature of the situation I made that decision in an attempt to avoid the worst-case scenario” Eraserhead answered.

“The worst-case scenario?” The man almost snorted loudly. “How else would you describe a situation where 26 of your students were wounded and two of them were kidnapped?”

“At that moment, the worst case I could imagine involved the deaths of my students” Eraserhead said glaring at the man.

‘We should’ve killed someone’

The man stood quiet.

“It became clear that the gas responsible for most of the harm was a villain’s quirk –one with a soporific effect” The Principal said. “Kendo’s and Tetsutetsu’s quick thinking was responsible for minimizing the damage. The students have all received psychological evaluations, and none of them seem to have emotional trauma”

“Is that meant to be a silver lining?” The man asked sarcastically.

“We believe that the worst has been avoided as long as the students still have their futures” The Principal answered.

The man stood quiet for a moment before glancing at the U.A.’s representatives dangerously and spoke:

“Can you say the same about young Bakugou, who was abducted?” He asked in a calm manner. “He won your Sports Festival” He started. “He struggled valiantly and fearlessly against a powerful villain during the sludge incident. His impressive record implies the making of a tough, powerful hero, yet… He showed a rather violent side of himself after his Festival victory. An attitude that persisted up through the awards ceremony” He explained. “We’ve already caught glimpses, here and there, of his mental instability”

Dabi saw how Bakugou went rigid at that, he clenched his teeth and knuckles but remained in fighting stance.

“Or better yet…” The man said once again. “What about (Y/LN) (Y/N)?” He asked. “The daughter of two of the most dangerous villains the country’s ever had. Villains, that I may add, were ruthless, sadistic and clearly mentally unstable” He added. “How does someone with roots like those even ends up in the U.A.?” He asked. “How can you assure us that she doesn’t have the same beliefs as her parents? How can you assure us that she won’t end up just like them? Are you really expecting us to believe that she was kidnapped by chance?”

The whole press started murmuring.

“You can’t honestly expect us to believe that all these qualities, from both kidnaped students, are mere coincidences?” He asked. “What if a skilled manipulator gets to them and sends them both down to the past of evil? Can you provide ‘proof’ as you say that both of them still have a future?”

Eraserhead instantly shot up and bowed, glaring at the man murderously.

“Any lapse in the behavior of our students is our failing” He said. “Still, regarding Bakugou… He behaved that way at the Sports Festival because he has such strong convictions and ideals. More than anyone, he pursues the tittle of Top Hero with everything he’s got.” He added. “If the villains have mistaken that for weakness, then their thought process is indeed superficial… Regarding (Y/LN) (Y/N), even if I’m not her teacher, all I can say is: there’s classified things you don’t know about. You don’t know how it all went down. If she’s in the U.A. now, it’s all thanks to the convictions and ideals she’s pursuing”

“You got that, you fucking scumbags!?” Bakugou’s voice roared as he cracked his knuckles. “Just so you know... Technically I’ve still got permission to fight back!”

‘Something’s wrong with this kid’ Dabi thought. Maybe that man wasn’t so wrong when he talked about his mental instability.

“This boy really seems to understand his position! Clever little thing!” Magne said, quite perturbed about Bakugou’s antics.

“Can I stab him?” Toga asked, looking at Bakugou with her typical chirpiness.

“No, you idiot” Dabi said, eyes not leaving Bakugou.

“Why don’t you just pretend that we’d won you over? I don’t understand!” Mr. Compress said and Dabi agreed with him.

It’ll be easier to just pretend to agree and escape later.

“I don’t fucking lie about anything” Bakugou said. “Enough of this bullshit. I’m not in the mood to hang around this nasty dump anymore. Untie her, now!” He screamed at Shigaraki, but he was still standing in the same position, looking at the hand.

“You mustn’t, Shigaraki Tomura, calm yourself!” Kurogiri said, charging towards Bakugou and Shigaraki.

Only then Shigaraki turned to glare at Bakugou, making him take a step back with widened eyes.

“Stay back… all of you” Shigaraki said and calmly picked up the hand that was on the floor. “This kid…” he said, and placed the hand on his face again. “…Is an important pawn.” He sighed. “I wish you would’ve at least listened to me. I thought we might understand each other…”

“Nope” Bakugou simply said. “Don’t make me repeat it. Let her go!” He ordered.

“Why?” Shigaraki said. “We haven’t talked with her yet, maybe she wants to join us”

“Like hell she does” Bakugou spat. “Those restrains are proof enough. It’s clear that she didn’t came here fucking willingly”

“We just needed to make sure she’s got to listen to what we have to say” Shigaraki simply said.

“Haven’t you heard the fucking interview? Her answer will be no”

“Don’t be naïve, boy. She was raised by villains after all” Mr. Compress said.

“I think she deserves a chance to hear us out just like you did” Shigaraki said.

“Okay, that’s it” And Bakugou lunged at him once again; hand ready to create another big explosion.

Shigaraki managed to dodge this time making Bakugou direct his attack too close to the girl; and even if the explosion itself didn’t hurt her or touched her whatsoever, the loud noise near her made her jump awake.

All eyes were directed to her.

Dabi saw how her widened eyes started to look everywhere; disorientation and confusion clear in them. She was breathing so erratically that for a moment, her breathing was the only sound filling the room.

After her frenetically scan, her eyes landed on Dabi for a moment. He could tell that she held back a gasp and she tried to make a move to back off but her restrains stopped her.

Her eyebrows frowned at that and she looked down at her body… tied up, trapped in a chair.

“…What?” Dabi heard her mutter under her breath. She started to shake her arms in order to free herself but there was no use.

With now panicked eyes, she looked at him again for a moment to then look around the room.

It was only when her gaze met Bakugou’s that she seemed to understand what was actually happening.

“What the he-“ She tried to say but was interrupted by a yelp coming from her mouth as she winced. She tried to move her arms to touch her head but she was cut short by the chains. It was only then when she realized that there was something tightly tied around her head.

Dabi was pleased to see that it was working to keep up her pain.

“So, the sleeping beauty finally awakes” Shigaraki said and started to walk towards where she was.

“HEY, back of-“ Bakugou roared but Dabi had enough of his bullshit so he cut him short by grabbing him by the nape of his neck, heating up his hands just enough to make sure he got the ‘One more move and I roast you’ message.

(Y/N) gave Bakugou a quick side glance but then turned her eyes to Shigaraki, trying to keep up a threatening look.

“Where am I?” She asked with what Dabi thought was the calmer tone of voice she could manage at the moment. “Why am I here?”

“You’re here because we wanna discuss something with you” Shigaraki said, purposely ignoring her first question.

Her eyes narrowed and she gritted her teeth.

“I already know what it is, and I’m not interested” She said firmly. “I’ve already told one of your minions what my answer was.” Dabi held back a snort at this ‘Minion?’ He thought as he continued to keep a firm grip on Bakugou’s nape ‘This girl is something else, gotta give her that’. “So, if you already know, why am I here?” She asked again.

“Mind manipulation” Dabi simply said, already feeling Shigaraki’s gaze on him.

It’s not that he felt the need to give any explanations, but just so everyone knew that he wasn’t an idiot that just blurted out their plan to her.

Shigaraki’s gaze turned to her again and he kneeled down to her level.

“Fascinating” Shigaraki said, observing her.

(Y/N) Backed off as much as she could and she sent another quick glance at Bakugou.

“So, her answer was ‘No’?” Magne asked Dabi, clearly confused as to why. Dabi didn’t answer, he just kept his focus on Shigaraki and the chained uo girl.

“I thought that a few words were gonna be able to convince you” Shigaraki said, looking at her. “But I gotta admit that it’s also kind of satisfying to see you play hard to get. Dabi said you were quite a pain” Dabi rolled his eyes at this.

‘I didn’t say that’ But of course Shigaraki would use everything he could to make him look less.

“I know how you feel” Shigaraki continued. “I know how people judge you, I know how you always go straight home from school and how you have to go as undercover as possible to do simple things as grocery shopping or laundry. I’ve seen you. I’ve observed you for quite a while”

‘And that’s not creepy at all’ he could tell she was thinking the same thing by how she tried to distance herself even more from him and looked away. ‘Is he trying to recruit her or to freak her out?’ He sighed at how stupid some people could be.

“Doesn’t it make you angry? Seeing how your life turned out to after what those heroes did to your parents?” Her eyes widened slightly at this and she snapped her head to him again. “How those merciless heroes murdered them?”

“SHUT UP!” She screamed, boiling rage clear in her eyes. “You have NO idea of what you’re talking about”

“I don’t?” Shigaraki asked incredulously. “That’s exactly how it went down, everyone saw it” He snorted. “The heroes were ruthless. All Might was ruthless... they didn’t even give your parents a chanc-“

“The heroes didn’t do anything. If they’re dead now, it’s because they were villains. That’s fucking it. It was their fault!” She shouted again.

Dabi had to admit he was a bit taken aback by it all. Yes, she’d already said that when they were fighting in the forest but he hasn’t really put much thought into it back then. Plus, he also thought that since Shigaraki said she was forced to enroll the U.A., maybe the pros kinda got to her or they convinced her to think that way.

But watching her now, anger in her eyes and even a bit of shame, it was kinda weird. It was almost as if she didn’t want to talk about the subject but not exactly because she felt sad about it.

“You can’t possibly mean that” Shigaraki said at first. “They were your parents, and they raised you to be a villain”

“Are you serious, girly? Heroes were glorified that day for taking the lives of your parents, yet when a villain kills someone they get condemned by people! Having to face years of imprisonment or worst” Magne exclaimed offended.

“Plus they got unimaginable prizes and rewards for it; it was all over the media. Heroes are only working for fame and money nowadays. Getting paid for some of the same atrocities ‘villains’ do, getting praised” Spinner added too. “The Hero Killer Stain taught us-“

“I don’t care what he taught you” She said, cutting him off.

“You don’t care? You don’t care about how society praises ‘heroes’ that are just as ruthless as some villains? You don’t care about how the ones that are ‘less’ are immediately tossed aside by society? You don’t care about how people judge you when they don’t even know you?” Shigaraki asked offended.

“You are judging me without even knowing me!” She pointed out.

“I seriously can’t understand you. Your parents raised you to be a villain” Shigaraki said in disbelief.

“I didn’t know I was forced to be whatever my parents wanted me to” She spat.

That did strike a chord in Dabi.

The way those words hit him almost made him tense up… almost.

He narrowed her eyes ever so slightly as he observed her and he kinda wanted to smack himself for not recognizing his same own ‘feelings’ in her eyes.

Shame, anger, disgust, rejection, hatred.

Apparently he was right when he thought this girl was something else. Now he knew for a fact that she won’t ever agree to join them.

He almost just wanted to unchain her and let her go do whatever she was doing to make her parents writhe on their graves.

Almost, but not quite. His mission was way more important and he knew for a fact that whether she agreed to join them or not, keeping her here with them kept on making the society turn against the heroes more and more as each second passed by.

The more time the Pros took to ‘rescue’ their students –if they even manage to do it- the closer the villains were from reaching their goal.

Shigaraki finally stood up from his kneeling position and looked down at her with what seemed to be a smile.

“I really wanna kill her” Toga commented after a while. Dabi was quite surprised to see actual hatred in her golden eyes.

“Don’t worry sweetie. In time, you’ll change your mind” He said to the chained girl as he grabbed her chin and pulled her as close as he could to him.

“DON’T TOUCH HER YOU IDIOT!” Bakugou screamed as he attempted to lunge at him, but Dabi shot a small yet dangerous flame from the palm that was holding his neck making Bakugou scream in pain.

(Y/N) gasped horrified, even if she couldn’t move her chin, she saw from the corner of her eye what happened.

“STOP IT!” She pleaded.

Shigaraki finally let go of her chin and turned to Bakugou. “Same goes for you”

“Fuck you” Was his reply that came out in pained grunts.

“I can’t waste much more time in this, not now at least” Shigaraki said. “We all heard about the heroes’ investigation, so we have to lay low and be careful” He explained. “Magne and Compress, you’re gonna watch the base from outside. Get rid of any possible threat without getting noticed. Don’t let them see you” He ordered and Magne and Compress left the room. “Toga you’re going to go downtown see if you can find any more information about whatever the heroes plan to do be sure to use your quirk discreetly and please act as sane as you can” Toga nodded eagerly and left as well. “Spinner you go to the rooftop. Keep watch from up there and be sure to remain out of sight. Dabi, tie up Bakugou again. You won’t be able to go out since you can’t possibly hide those nasty scars of yours. When you’re done go meet us behind. Kurogiri and I will be searching for someplace new to hide, at least until these two agree with us”

Kurogiri and Shigaraki left the room after that, leaving only Dabi and the two kids inside.

Dabi started to drag Bakugou back to his restraining chair, and to his surprise he didn’t put up a fight.

Both of them were quiet but he could almost feel their hate towards him.

Being careful not to get caught, he could see her eyes trained on nothing more than Bakugou the entire time he was chaining him. He could see her eyes traveling from Bakugou’s face to the now burnt flesh in his nape and vice versa.

He didn’t really agree to leave them alone and unguarded, but he wasn’t going to stay and babysit either. So, once he was done he exited the room leaving the door open.

But instead of walking down the hall to where Kurogiri and Shigaraki were, he stood quietly hiding from their sights.

“You okay?” Bakugou said after a while, not quite whispering but certainly not loud enough either.

It took some time for her to reply.

“I had better days” She said at first before grunting in pain. ‘Probably caused by the leather still tied to her head’ Dabi thought. “I’m fine” She assured. “Are you okay, though?” She asked.

“It’s nothin’” Bakugou said. “I’m used to burns”

They didn’t say anything more for a few seconds.

“Don’t worry” Bakugou said. “We’ll get outta here”

To that, she didn’t reply.

She couldn’t describe how she was feeling. All of her was filled with dread, anger, impotence… But, most of all, guilt.

She couldn’t stay and just do nothing.

She’s always considered herself a ‘correct’ girl. She always did what she was told, she’d always done things the ‘good’ way, and she’d always beat up every single expectation people had for her. She was a good girl.

But now, she was going to break the rules.

It didn’t matter what it could cost her, the guilt was consuming her and doing something was better than sitting and wait.

After all, she was the one that let her go to the woods on her own, for Christ’s sake.

Kendo felt absolutely devastated when they first told her, she didn’t even believe it at first.

“It’s not only Bakugou, Kendo. (Y/LN) is missing too” was what her classmates had told her once the paramedics finished checking her out that horrid day, and the first thing that came to her was how she offered to go to the woods with her and how easily she let her go alone after she refused just once.

Maybe if she’d insisted a bit more she will be here safe and sound today. Maybe if she’d insisted a bit more they could’ve fight the villain that abducted her; Or maybe they could’ve been in this together now.

She was painfully aware of (Y/LN)’s past, as everyone was. Everyone knew what happened to her since almost everyone probably saw it on T.V. or at least re-watched it somewhere else. Everyone knew who she was, even if she’d hardly spoken to anyone till this day.

Kendo knew she lived alone and she knew that other than her, she didn’t have any friends.

They were barely even friends to begin with.

Kendo knew that she had no one waiting for her to be found, waiting for her to be free. There was no one truly waiting for her other than Kendo herself.

Kendo also knew how some of her own classmates already thought that (Y/N) has joined The League of Villains.

She couldn’t believe how blind they were.

Still, that didn’t matter now. What did matter was the fact that while visiting some of her hospitalized classmates, she’d heard something.

She marched quickly to the hospital; she’d be dammed if they’ve already left without her. She needed to hurry.

Luckily, Kirishima’s red head came to view once she neared the hospital.

She run to them and they all became rigid.

“H-Hey, Kendo!” Midoriya stuttered. Trying to pretend as if nothing was happening and failing miserably.

“I know what you’re up to” Kendo ignored them and turned to everyone.

They were all about to make up excuses but she spoke again.

“I want in” She demanded.

They all stood in shock for a moment.

“Okay” Midoriya said.

“We’ll be leaving tomorrow night” Todoroki added.

Notes:

I really liked this chapter tbh, I hope you did too :)

Anyways i know I said we'll get some backstory in this chapter and we got a bit of it, but not all. Next chapter we'll be diving in the Reader's P.O.V. again and we'll get the whole story (so don't freak out just yet) and we'll get to know what she thinks about all of this too.

Second thing, I’m going with the Dabi is a Todoroki theory mainly because Dabi is such an incomplete character rn and it’s very difficult to understand him since we really know nothing about him

Also, if you're wondering why Bakugou didn't try to fight them (at least not in his carelessly way) it's because she was still chained up and while he could've fight them (and possibly believe that he could've win) she was still trapped and being the hero in training he is he refused to leave her (and he didn't want the villains to hurt her either just because of him)

The new chapter's gonna be up after Saturday so I don't spoil the people that didn't read the manga.

Thoughts? :)
