Mini rant time.

One of the most popular discussions in the Unordinary fandom is definitely the struggle between John Doe and the Royals at Wellston. I know John gets a lot of shit for his part in it, but I really don't blame him for most of it. His behavior at his school in New Bostin was atrocious of course, but when he moved to Wellston, he changed and made himself smaller to try and atone for what he did in an effort to not hurt anyone that severely again. Arlo started their rivalry and John simply finished it. To put it simply, Arlo fucked around and found out. As for the other Royals, they're not innocent in it either. Their job as Royals is to maintain the hierarchy, sure, but it should also be to make sure that the stronger students aren't abusing their powers, and they failed miserably in that. John went too far, yes, but he was blamed for everything that happened when in reality, the abuse he faced at Wellston was the result of the Royals' spectacular failure of managing the system they were so hellbent on maintaining. Also fuck you Vaughn for leaving the kids to "work it out on their own". In conclusion, John and the Royals both sucked, but Asslo takes the cake for highest level of suckery.

Poor Isen, he’s the only elite in the main six and really not prepped for this. I wish Kass had warned Arlo that she’d already submitted the evidence against Vaughn and he could’ve warned the Royal vigilantes

The winners of the competition would be rewarded with a handsome prize, and the losers would be punished. The rules were simple: first, having any sort of contact with with the other team was strictly forbidden; and second, crushes were not allowed.

Hey! I'm SOOO behind on unOrdinary, but I came across your post about just sending asks. The series is SO well done, and the characters all tug on my heart in different ways 💖💖💖

it literally is so well done 🔥🔥🔥 I've been reading it since 2017 and aside from a few arcs (*cough*joker*cough*), it's been a massively steady and entertaining thing to look forward to every week. I really have to appreciate uruchan's storytelling abilities! Even from the earliest chapters, you could see her setting down the bread crumbs about Ember, the officials, Vaughn and Keene, etc. Now that we're finally delving into the world outside Wellston as the students fight it, her writing shines even more!

I love the new characters she's introduced like Kuyo and Kassandra (my fave adults) and it makes me so happy to see the Wellston royals actually getting along 😭 cuz I don't know about y'all, but if John smashed my face into the concrete and broke my arm and generally effed me up, I would NOT be forgiving him. You could argue some of them deserved it, but regardless, having them all unified as this passionate team who want change while still having their individual goals has been exciting to watch come together. Love this series so much :')

-- some small spoilers up ahead for mha -- it is so interesting to me that uno often gets compared to mha by people who haven't read uno. because when you actually think about it, they really are eerily similar, despite many uno fans denying it.

at first glance: in uno, the main theme is "the government is evil and should be stopped at all costs". in mha, it's "well yeah the government isn't exactly good, but the villains are definitely worse".

and then you dig deeper.

in uno, the authorities are criticized because they do absolutely horrible things to people in the name of keeping the peace. they've lost the plot, gone too far, and what is, in theory, a very logical system (the royals) has devolved into systemic oppression. (i've read a really good commentary on here that explained why the royals are actually kinda necessary in a school like wellston, but i can't find it now, so if you've found it, pls lmk.) violence is constantly criticized. when john went joker, it wasn't glorified, like it would've been in so much of contemporary media. resistance and revolution are definitely advocated for, but violence never is.

(slight spoiler ?) the recent manga chapters of mha reveal a theme that has been pretty central for a while now: criticism of authority figures and their abuse of power. the lov is humanized, their actions are explained, they are clearly their own heroes. it's people like overhaul, like afo, who are really evil: people in positions of power who hurt those below them.

not to mention (SPOILER) hawks losing his wings. i didn't like it when i first read it, but looking back, it was the only possible ending for him. keigo had been used his entire life by the (evil) government because of his quirk, and now he's finally free. they don't have a use for him anymore. him losing his wings, ironically, set him free. (know of another character being used by an evil government because of their power?)

in uno, violence is very clearly posed as a bad thing and people in positions of power hurt those below them. in mha, violence and its glorification (hero society) is frequently criticized and the real villains are those in positions of power who hurt those below them.

also: in mha, lady nagant was a (one of presumably multiple) assassin for the government, cleaning up those who the authorities felt disrupted the current order too much. sounds familiar?

and then you have the protagonists. izuku and john both grew up powerless and then suddenly got one of the strongest powers in their society just before starting highschool, though at first, they weren't very good at using it. they both seem capable of using multiple powers, but technically it's just one really op power. i would like to claim that they both kept a really important secret about that power from their close friends for a while, but izuku told katsuki that he had a borrowed power literally weeks after he'd gotten it, so. props to john though.

there is another fun similarity between them, though. both are introduced as pretty non-violent people (rip pre-joker john, your miserable existence is missed dearly), and both go absolutely feral when their best friend ("best friend") gets hurt.

(it's also fun to mention that both izuku and john are Going Through It in the current arc.)

now, of course, a fundamental differnce between john and izuku is that izuku is fundamentally a good person who cares for people, and john,,, doesn't. it's not that he doesn't care about anyone; he just doesn't care all that much about people he doesn't really know. izuku wants to save everyone. john wants his loved ones to not be hurt. that doesn't mean he wants others to be hurt, but it will take more for him to want to save someone than just seeing them suffering. interestingly enough, it's pre-joker john who was the biggest advocate for cripple equality, while izuku has never been shown to do anything similar for the quirkless. also, izuku never went middle-school-katsuki when he finally got a handle on ofa.

but in the end, these visual-medium stories are remarkably similar and comparing them actually yields significant insights into both of these stories. comparisons should therefore not be avoided, but instead encouraged and expanded upon.

#god those last two sentences. i have been writing too many essays #anyways yeah i didn't mention the whole heroes/vigilantes thing bc that kinda speaks for itself #idk. does this make sense? it just seemed funny to me #unordinary #uno #mha

Nobody pays much attention to John—just a normal teenager at a high school where the social elite happen to possess unthinkable powers and abilities. John prefers it that way. The more he stays under the radar, and stays close to the Royal’s most powerful Ace, Seraphina, the safer he is in the halls of Wellston High. But John has a secret past that threatens to bring down the school’s whole…

UnOrdinary x Talentless Nana AU Part 1

(You should watch Talentless Nana episode 1 before reading this, but you don’t have to)

-All children with abilities are sent to a boarding school once they reach high school age and are summoned. Wellston Boarding School is situated on an island and trained to one day fight “enemies of humanity” who showed up decades ago and caused millions of deaths

-John is an outcast due to the other students seeing him as weak. He tries his best to just live a normal life, but he occasionally gets harassed by bullies

-One day, the school attains two new students: Arlo, who is silent and apathetic, and Seraphina who is decently nice and cool. Arlo refuses to share his ability and Sera states hers is mind reading

-Sera gravitates towards John and the two spend some time together, with him showing her around. When they’re on the seaside cliff, Sera almost falls after the rope snaps, but John saves her

-The next day, the class starts talking about their eventual fight with the enemies of humanity, and decide they should have a group of leaders. Remi comes up with the Royal Hierarchy but is hesitant about it, but the rest of the kids go along with it. When they’re trying to nominate a King, Sera says they should choose John, which the others laugh off

-Later that day, John tells Sera off for throwing him out there. She asks if he’s scared to take a leader position due to his past and John blows up at her for reading his mind. She continues saying she understands what it’s like being under a lot of pressure but John leaves her

-The next day, Blyke and Isen are fighting over who gets to be King and the rest of the class is watching. The two get heated up, endangering the class in the process, and just when Sera is about to get hit by one of Blyke’s beams. John activates his ability to protect her. He can copy others abilities one at a time, first using Isen’s to tank the shot and then Blyke’s to stop the two

-The rest of the class is surprised at his talent, and Sera walks up to him, saying she knew he’d be a good leader

-Later the two meet up at the seaside cliff and talk about John’s ability. Sera asks if he can copy her ability and John says he isn’t sure since hers is a psychic one. He then states it might work if they touched each other, then realizing what he said, becomes flustered. Sera instead grabs his hand and asks if he can tell what she’s thinking. John tries hard but doesn’t pick up anything, before he fully states it though he feels a tug on his arm.

-In an instant, Sera pulls John over the edge and he barely has enough time to grab the rope. Sera then reveals she actually has no talent at all and just made use of what she found out about him in his files and what she observed to manipulate him. John wonders if she’s an enemy of humanity but Sera then responds that it’s actually the talented who are the true enemies

-With nothing else to say, Sera tells John to die and he eventually lets go of he rope, plunging into the sea surrounded by sharp rocks. Sera then looks at her phone, seeing “John Doe Estimated Kill Count: 10 million”

For character connections, Sera is Nana, John is Nanao, Arlo is Kyoya, and Evie is Michiru. Some of the characters abilities are adjusted to be stronger to better fit the “super power” theme. Also Rei and Remi are related in this AU, but they’re cousins instead. Ember and Spectre are also the same group now, with them keeping the name Ember and the overall government control, but having Spectre’s goal of weakening the talented

And for why Sera is saying she can read minds instead of her time ability, it’s simply because mind reading’s a lot more easy to fake and easier for me to write around

Me: *redesigns Zeke so he looks more distinct from other bullies*

Overview

Okay so Zeke as a character always bothered me not because of the things he did but he’s only there as the absolute bare minimum of a villain. His whole personality is just stock bully character when I think he had a lot of potential as an antagonist as well as being part of the top 10.

So here’s my idea on how to make him interesting without changing the plot or ’redeeming’ him.

Make Zeke more calculating from the start. Show him actually being charismatic instead of beating the shit out of people willy nilly. Like I would love to see him have a way with words and be gaslighting people from left to right which is why he has a following in Wellston. Like "hey, I'm not actually the villain but you’re the one who fucked up so you deserve the punishment."

I want to see him earn the title of being a snake. I just think that showing off how much Zeke has intimidated the rest of the student body makes it more satisfying to see him getting beat up rather than just “HE HURT MY WAIFU/HUSBANDO”

His ability ’Phase Shift’ would work well with such a manipulative shit of a character. I like to think that we rarely see him personally beat others and he’s usually just ’negotiating’ and having his minions do it for him. However even so, people seem to be too scared by his prescence.

This is because the only few times he had were absolutely sadistic and hospitalizing people but only a few so they could serve as a reminder of what happens if he isn’t nice. This could also make him more of a foil to John in a way as well as make things ironic when he was suddenly hospitalized during the Joker arc.

Make Zeke highkey unhinged. Make him absolutely dangerous despite his lower power.

Scene rewrite (sorta)

Here’s how I would change a scene with him. Instead of beating Sera because her powers are now gone, have him try to make an offer with Seraphina first in exchange for him protecting her and John in her powerless state. (Like maybe some kind of leverage against the Royals or have her admit his superiority.) Have Seraphina refuse and maybe even call out Zeke and then have Zeke beat the shit out of her to set an example to other students for defying him. Have it be brutal. Maybe it’s one of his points of vulnerability where he just snaps and becomes too emotional for the first time.

Motivation

Give him hints of insecurities, maybe from feeling inadequate compared to the Royals, not to redeem him but for his character to make a bit more sense with motivations.

His main motivation is him asserting as much power as he can towards the Boy’s dorm and everyone lower than him to cover his envy towards the other high tiers. To keep this sense of control no matter what.

Safe House Arc

John would initially recruit him just because of the following he has and his way of words towards less powerful people. While Zeke is a bully, John acknowledges that he’s useful. However, this is when Zeke regresses. No longer the cold and charming elite tier but John’s grovelling minion. Like he still keeps his cool at first but we slowly see him becoming more desparate for any sort of power as he looses trust with John and Cecile. He was to still be in control but no one takes him seriously anymore. We slowly see his incompetency and how weak he has become, this former shell of a once powerful student regressing into a child yelling for attention.

We almost feel sorry for him. Almost. But it’s more satisfying than anything.

ok ive never gone on unordinary tumblr before but i wanna see if anyone else has noticed this about Seraphina that is still going unadressed

We know Uru chan likes to do some fun little symbolic things with the chat bubble colours (John’s chat bubble changing from white to black for reasons) but there’s something unusual about Sera’s chat colour too. She’s quite visibly the only character who’s chat bubble doesn’t match her hair colour at all, instead its weirdly clashy, with her chat bubbles being much more of a blue-y purple than her actual hair colour which is almost pink with little bits of green.

*below you’ll see her usual appearance and chat bubble, then with her hair being edited to match her chat bubble, then with the chat bubble edited to match her hair

But wait, that middle one. Doesn’t it look familiar?

she and Leilah would look a lot more alike, maybe this is Uru’s way of saying that Sera bases the way she speaks and acts off her sister. It’d add up with John’s chat bubble being white to match his Dad when he acted as though he had no ability. I guess if you try and act like someone else, your chat bubble will eventually match it.

That’s not to say that Seraphina is doing it intentionally like John though, even after standing up to her mother and going back to Wellston early, she still isn’t quite free of the pressures that come with being a part of one of the families with the most powerful abilities of all. Maybe this is the product of Sera being forced to be the daughter they were certain that they had in Leilah before she ran away. Maybe it had the opposite role when Sera left the royals, she must’ve felt a lot like Lelilah after they both left the responsibilities forced onto them, and maybe early on in the series she wanted to be more like Leilah in how she stood up to her parents.

Hi can I maybe get an enemies/rivals to lovers imagine with Arlo🙏? Like maybe reader is a royal at another school and they've butted heads for years? Maybe the argument is about reader wanting to challenge John to a turf war and they're taunting Arlo about how they'd beat John just to rub it in Arlo's face and Arlo tells them not to (because he secretly doesn't want to see them get hurt) (btw idk how turf wars work, but the idea is there)? And now they have a big argument about it and it ends in confession? And maybe a lil smooch? Just a lil kiss kiss?

Oooh! Big brain!! Sorry if Arlo's a bit OOC, I had a lot of pre-calc today and my brain was a bit fried when writing this. Hope you enjoy!

Word Count: 662

Warnings: Just some cursing, a bit of smooches, one mention of the phrase "i hate you" but it's not used seriously.

“You’re going to do what?!” Arlo asks incredulously, exasperation filling him at the mocking face in front of him, a smirk gracing their lips and an eyebrow raised at his reaction.

That fucking face.

The same face they’d made whenever they got the upper hand during a turf war. The same face they’d make whenever he stumbled over his words in an argument.

It’s never been more annoying than in this moment.

“You heard me. And you’ll never hear the end of it when I end up kicking “King John’s” incredibly tightly wound ass into next week and knock Wellston’s prestige down a peg.”

Yeah, he did hear right. Unfortunately.

Arlo’s heart drops into his stomach and he shakes his head.

“You can’t do that.”

Arlo’s mind whirls as his brain feeds him the most likely outcome of that turf war. Y/N’s body laying unconscious in a puddle of their own blood while John stands over them, having used their own ability against them.

“Can’t I? Last I checked, you weren’t the boss of me.” Y/N sasses and Arlo’s jaw clenches in annoyance.

“Pick something different to piss me off. Pick anything other than this.”

“Hmm...I could. But it seems like this idea bothers you more than anything else I could choose.” Y/N taunts and Arlo runs a hand through his hair in frustration.

“You’re such a pain in the ass.”

“Good. At least I’m returning the favor, jackass.”

“Can’t you just listen to the ONE thing I’m asking you to do?!”

Y/N shrugs. “I wouldn’t say it’s the one thing you ask me to do. I mean, you “ask” me to shut up multiple times a week so, ya know.”

Arlo realizes he’s not getting anywhere at this moment and takes a deep breath to try and think of a different approach.

“Please. Don’t challenge him.”

“Ooo! Please? You really don’t want me to smear your darling school in the dirt!”

“I don’t care about Wellston! He will send you to the hospital!” Arlo yells, his frustration and worry escaping his self control.

“Why do you care?” Y/N asks and Arlo stays silent for a moment, just long enough for Y/N to put 2 and 2 together.

Their stupid annoying face.

“Awww, do you wove me? Do want me to not get hurt? Is that it, Arwo?” Y/N teases in a baby voice, cooing at the blond in front of them.

Heat rushes up his neck, unknown whether it originates from anger or embarrassment.

“Oh! Is sweet wittle Arwo bwushing? Did telling me he woves me make him bwush?” Y/N continues, scrunching their nose at him.

“You’re so annoying. Would you just shut the hell up?” Arlo huffs, lightly glaring at them.

“Or what? You’ll tell me you wove me? You already did that.” Y/N scoffs, the baby voice now mostly gone.

Arlo lunges forwards and grabs their face, smashing his lips against theirs. They’re frozen in shock and he grumbles against their lips,

“You piss me off so much.”

They finally regain some of their thought process and kiss him back, their hands shakily gripping at his arms to try and ground their flustered brain. He pulls away and sees the dazed look on their face.

“Who "woves" who now?” Arlo hums after a moment and Y/N meets his gaze.

“You do and that’s why you’re stupid enough to fall for my tricks. Don’t tell me actually think I was gonna challenge John? I wanna piss you off, not sign my own death warrant.” Y/N scoffs and the triumphant look from before slides off his face, being replaced with annoyance.

“I hate you.” Arlo scoffs, moving away from Y/N.

“No, you wove me.” Arlo rolls his eyes at the repeated taunt.

“Shut up.”

That stupid smirk appears on their face again, a challenge in their eyes.

“Make me."

Well... Arlo’s never been opposed to some peace and quiet.

Main cast headcanons: John Doe

Starting with my fav, since I did a lot of him and the others wouldn’t fit. He was a lot of fun.

I headcanon them as German or Russian and decided to do both.

Gave them long hair because I can. King’s hair is more over the place while current is slightly better kept.

The coat they’re wearing is the coat of the kings at Wellston, it’s supposed to be a royal blue or purple but we know John don’t go by the rules. I fixed the uniforms for the royals and higher tier students. John stepped down but didn’t want to give up their look so they requested a custom uniform with Vaughn’s permission.

While their ability is powerful, it needs a weakness which I created: Endurance. John ends their fights quickly because they can’t go on longer than 10 minutes or so. After their fights they just drops dead asleep in their bed. They brought two cases on monster energy drink during his reign as king just so they could fight better without falling asleep.

Their default eye color is yellow. When they’re on low energy, they start to dull to gray.

Depending on the ability, one or both eyes change and it can also depend on how many they have and if they combine them.

Their eyes kinda glow in general, more so during Joker and King arc though mostly in the dark.

Their attacks colors also have this affect.

This will most likely be the version of John I use for my au of UnO.

(Fastpass warning) Do you think we’re going to get a look at Wellston before John leaves New Bostin? From the looks of it, I’m pretty sure we’re going to be following just John until his suspension ends but I was curious as to what you thought. Personally, I’d be perfectly fine with not seeing the school again until he’s back, but I’m sure there are some people who would like a check in on the Royals + associates. There’s pros and cons to both, but I know which one I’d prefer, so (shrug)

I sure hope we see the royals. I’m very curious as to how seraphina is doing. even if it’s for just one conversation, I’d want a quick look back to wellston’s current state to see the royal’s reaction to seraphina. I think the story is going to focus more on john for this episode though, but I’m definitely happy for that too because seeing john start to rethink everything is going to be important.
