animes and being disabled- living through characters
okay so just my thoughts
you know how most of us who play games or read books constantly like to use it as a form of wscapism sometimes, to be someone else?
i noticed i do that with animes.
i'm picky about which ones i really invest time in to watch. Persona 4, Ouran, YLIa, Forest of Piano, and Yuri on aice are the only four i've actively hinted down episodes for.
i guess some background though first: i used to dream of going to the Olympics. As a triathalon racer or a swimmwr. Obviously that didn't happen, I did too many things to really commit and my family and most friends don't have much backgorund in competitive sports to really know what the heck was going on. Most people I know do some team sports but solely to get out of PE. And the big things where I live tend to be swim, triathalon, and whatever sports the local schools have which is usually like volleyball or soccer and not really at that level.
also, i had to quit sports in highschool because 1. My legs couldn't take me anymore (i already moved tk swim to try to mitigate that, that was the closest i got to competitive sports) and sports + glasses + one working eye that kinda works ish = oh biy. I did horseback riding, sled hockey, triathalons, and swim. And yes most people forgot to actually explain the scoring and basics of positions. Guess I missed that memo. Anyways i do music now, bit easier on the limbs (yeah right i say as my thumb is in A Phase from who knwos what)
anyways. I noticed lately I've been watching a lot of thaow real life animes and a few more relaisitc sport/music fics. And i think i understand why.
it's not just because they're cool. I mean they are but there's another element.
it's the idea of motivation, the idea of escappism but in a didfwrenr form. I get tk watch Yuri skate and imagine myself flying across the ice, not on my butt but standing upright. I get to watch Yu Narukami dance and imagine i had that flexibility and sight to dance with partners without a very carefully learned routine lear i smack someone in the face. It's the morivation i get from watching Kai and Kaori living their dreams and playing epicly and freely despite whatvewr limitations they have,a good remindee to go pracrice. i think Ouran is just thr one anime that you have to warch or you're a heathen.
but like.
as a disabled person i know tht unless i get custom akates, I'm never gonna be able to step onto the ice. Or ski without a partner, whoch i did exaclty once and would've done great if the guy coaching didn't realiE i couldn't see shit. Long story. But itms a different feeling, wathcing someone fly acorss a stage or rink or whatever and do it, and it's differnet from live stuff like the olympics because well. For me i can see things more clearly and rewind. But also they're ficitonal characters. I can self insert, really dig through and invest, and idk it feels less weird in a way then projecting onto a real person.
and cuz it's anime, theres a bit of disbelief. But it's in a way that's cool, and there's a type of excitement.
but it's just my thoughts.
maybe one day when i have the money i'll see about getitng custom skates. Even of they're like trainer rollerskates, flyong across the ice sounds cool. but for now I'll just watch the dizzying spins and jumps of figure skating anime. And maybe go practice, so i don't get that nagging feeling when rewarxhing YLIA.

Hey Art! How are you? It has been a long time since I last interacted with you. How has life been treating you recently? Whenever I think about you, I always hope that you are happy and in a good state of mind. The new drabble you posted was really cute and cozy! JK and OC are truly couple goals :p I wonder how you can write so amazingly that my heart swells with warmth.
As for me, do you remember when I told you about the guy I had a crush on, who asked me about my type? Yeah.
So, the thing is, this guy is my classmate, and we usually sit together on the bus to and from school. We don't talk much, but it's not awkward when we do not talk. At least I feel alright when we sit together in comfortable silence. He, well, to be honest, he doesn't seem to act like he likes me back. But then again, he's that non-expressive kind of guy. He doesn't talk much about things that don't excite him and doesn't mind sitting in complete silence. He's that kind of guy (just like me sometimes, for real). So, often times, we just stay silent the entire ride from school to home because we don't really have common interests. He's into anime and sports, and I also watch anime, but I'm not that much of a die-hard fan. And it often makes me wonder, am I really doing it right? Is it right to be interested in this kind of guy? It's really confusing and stressing me out too.
But yesterday, when we were on our way back from school, he asked me if we could share our money (I had some money, but he had more) and go eat ice cream on our way back home. I initially agreed to it, thinking he was just kidding. We sometimes do that, you know, to tease each other. So when I got up from my seat at my stop, he suddenly asked me, 'Oh, are you not coming with me?' Even then, I thought he was still joking, so I just waved my hand at him, smiled, and got off.
But then, when I came back home, I dwelled upon what had happened earlier. As I replayed the scenes in my head, I wondered... was he... asking me out for an ice cream date? I was confused to say the least. Thinking about it, I was reminded of the face he had when I stood up to get off at my stop. He almost seemed disappointed; his voice was softer and kinda... sad? But then again, I could just be overthinking it.
Today too, when someone else came to sit with me earlier than him, I thought he would ask them to stand up and tell them to sit somewhere else. But instead, he himself went somewhere else and sat with his friend.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and it's driving me crazy! Is he interested in me? Does he like someone else? Am I just overthinking it all? Is it okay to invest my time in someone who doesn't feel the same? These kinds of thoughts keep me up at night.
I hope he shows some more signs so that I can be certain about his feelings because this is really, really confusing atm!
Anyway, sorry, I went a bit overboard. Thanks for reading my silly little rant about my life, and really, thanks for being here. You are like a big sister figure to me, and I genuinely appreciate everything you do for the community!
Take care of yourself<3
liking someone is really hard because you can’t help but to overthink every little thing that they do ❤️‍🩹 as you said you don’t really talk much so it’s hard to assume things and i think in cases like this it’s better to just let things unfold first and allow your feelings to blossom into something more recognizable <3 accept the opportunities to spend more time with him and get to know each other better, this way you can decide for yourself too how much you like him !! because we tend to get too swept up in our own head at times and living in the moment brings you soooo much clarity trust me !! as long as you have a good day, no matter who it is with, i don’t really think time would be wasted :D maybe you can bring up the ice cream again and you can go together for real this time hehe. i hope things work out well for you beloved and please take care of your heart 💕
and omg 🥲 a big sister figure 🥲 this is so sweet thank you anonie !! 💕 i try my best to be helpful to you guys but tbh i tend to be stupid in dealing with my own personal life lol so please bear with me, learn from my mistakes, and thank you for trusting me 😭💕
i’m just trying to enjoy life as much as i can while also working hard and adjusting to many changes :") it’s very tiring physically emotionally and mentally but i’m hanging in there! and writing helps me a lot when i’m feeling anxious too so thank you so much for reading my works i appreciate you lots 🥺💗

so i love ask games and gushing about my f/os, but i am very impatient. so i'm going to answer these as one big text post for Othello since he's been on my mind lately! :)
🐥 - how are mornings for you guys? are you groggy and grumpy when you first wake up? Reapers don't really need sleep like humans, they usually only sleep for fun. So, we're not really groggy in the morning! Othello is definitely more of a morning person, though. He's always so chipper and excited to get right to work!
☁️ - whats your nighttime routine? is it easy for you guys to fall asleep or does it take awhile? do you have anything you do before bed, like reading or journaling? Like I mentioned in the last question, reapers don't need to sleep! But if we have time and want to take a nap for fun, it typically doesn't take me too long to fall asleep! Othello on the other hand has some difficulty since it's so easy for him to get so caught up in his work. When we do have some down time for a nap, he likes to hold me while he does his work while I snooze in his arms. He'll usually put his work away after a few minutes and try to sleep too
🎀- do you two enjoy dressing up? or would you rather stick with comfier clothes? what are you guy’s favorite outfits? For work, we both have uniforms (his is more comfy than mine though lol), so we both prefer more casual clothes! As soon as we get home, we instantly change into comfier clothes!
🧸 - do either of you have any stuffed animals? how does the other feel about them? I've always had a soft spot for stuffed animals, and I used to be quite embarrassed about my collection. Othello is quite supportive though! He's gotten me a few as gifts while we've been together, he even got me the Funtom Bitter Rabbit!
🎠- what do you do for leisure/entertainment? do you go places, play games together, or simply watch a movie and cuddle? We love to go to art museums! We also like to take nightly strolls while talking about our days
🐰- how do you two feel about pets/animals? do you have any? Since being a reaper is very time consuming and very busy work, we both would love a pet but sadly don't have the time for one. If we were to pick one, we'd probably get a cat since they're pretty independent anyways!
🌷- do you two like to spend time outside? or would you rather stay inside together? We prefer to stay indoors, but we do like to go outside! We like to take walks and even stargaze sometimes!
🍭- who has the sweet tooth? Othello most definitely! I also enjoy sweets, but Othello always has a little tin of candies in his pockets. His favorite is black licorice!
💌- how do you communicate while your apart? do you give each other notes/letters? or do can you text each other? While we're apart, we love to send little notes back and forth to each other. We work in different departments and sometimes get stuck with a lot of work, so we can't visit each other as much as we'd like those days. So, sometimes we'll try to sneak away and give each other cute little notes to keep in touch. We'll even use Ronald as our little messenger if we're too busy! He's a good sport about it :)
cutesy self ship ask game here! :)

Hello! Wanted to say I really enjoy your blog! :D I’m new to the NFL, but it seems some people only support a single team and others maybe have a main team but also like other teams/players. So, I was curious how you came to be a fan of the NFL teams you support? And the players that you like? (And, if you want to share, how you started shipping some of the pairings that you like?)
Thank you! Hope to see you post more works soon, I really enjoy them 😊
Hi there, dear anonymous! :D
So sorry for the late replay! (I didn't forget your questions, just took me a lot more than I wanted to answer you ;) so, this is gonna be long ;)
First of all, thank you for your comments! So glad You like this kinda weird blog here haha, I appreciate it!
Sooo, let's go for the answers!
Yes, I do know there are people who only "support" one team, but I think, maybe, they are fan of a more than one, they just don't say that loud because of certain fandoms haha :P. In my case, I don't care to say it openly, I do support more than one, but, they are like ranked xD
I have been an NFL fan since I was like 10 or something, my older brothers usted to watch sports all day, and well, being the only girl (besides my mom) between a family of 6 it kinda guided me through all this wonderful NFL world :D
Specifically, I've been a Steelers fan for more or less 26 years. It all started when I saw Jerome Bettis running and scoring a touchdown and that's when I saw a curious largue banner holding on that side that said "The bus stops here" so, for me was like "what does that mean?" Ahahaha XD Then I knew Bettis was called "The bus", so, everything made sense in a funny way, and I liked that, and watching him running and people cheering and screaming for him for just going to the end zone with a ball was a great sensation xD (didn't understand still what was all of that football thing was ahahaha), I don't know, my brothers did the same when watching the Raiders play (yes, unfortunately, they were Raiders fans and now they are Cowboys ahaha xD), and I feel the same in that moment and continued to watch Steelers games and becoming a fan. Ups and Downs, wins and losses, superbowls, retirements, change of coaches, a lot to say in all of those years but pretty satisfying :).
At that time I didn't have a favorite player, but all changed when Roethlisberger debuted and he became my fav instantly :).
I didn't root for any other team at that time, until I watched Aaron Rodgers debut with Green Bay (It was love at first sight honestly hahaha, he was sooo cute!) so I also wanted Packers to win everytime and they got the place of my "second favorite team" :3, it was always so nice when they played. And of course he was also one of my fav players.
I must day I also cheered for a couple of other teams, but nothing too serious :P (Ravens and Titans, but just when they are not facing the Steelers or Packers lol)
After that, came the Chiefs. To be honest I never cheered for them until Mahomes. At first I kinda hated them lol and was because after they won the Super Bowl against 49's, everyone was talking about the Chiefs and Mahomes being like the new Patriots, and I just thought "Oh God, not another Brady please" xD
And I was sooooo wrong.
The next season, I fell in love with them. Completely. Not just Mahomes (which I loved once I saw him playing and smiling. Sorrynotsorry) but also Kelce, they were my 2 favorite players but I must say I liked them as a team, as a whole, so they became my new -tied with Packers- favorites :D.
Of course, Steelers are -and always be- number 1, but for now, as they are on a reconstruction period, Chiefs are getting higher and higher ahaha, but I loved them anyway :)
And finally! Jets! Just because is Aaron's new team, so, no discussion here :P
About pairings, well, that's funny because I liked yaoi and MalexMale relationships since I was in high school (so many years ago xD) and I have always found pairings I like, even if the anime/movie/series is not properly yaoi/gay (that's the beauty of imagination ;) )
I have been into sports for a long time (specially male sports, of course that's the extra plus visual I enjoy a lot lol) but almost never thought of them being involved in that way, too much testosterone never let me imagine 2 alpha guys in a relationship like that xD
But.... there's always an exception for everything haha ;D
One time (and it was no long ago) that I was looking on the internet for some players statistics for my fantasy, as I was having Rodgers as my QB and wanted to make a detailed plan for winning the fantasy that year :3, and I found a short, erotic"fic" about him and Alex Smith and I was like "OMG! What the hello I'm reading here!" XD it was funny, because never imagined that kind of guys like that, but, it surely woke up something in my mind that now allows me to imagine them :3
Of Course, Rodgers was one of my favs, and I started looking for more stories with him and.... guess who? Mahomes! Yes! I thought they would fit perfectly, and most of all, I love age-difference pairings, so they were like made for each other ❤️.
Mahomes x Kelce, not so much to say... best friends, same team, great connection, both hot sexy guys, why not? Ahahaha, yeah!
And, there are also other pairings I like but mostly is Rodgers/Mahomes my fav so far :D
OMG! That was too long!! I mean, who writes so much answering a question? xD sorry for the book.
But I really appreciate your lovely comments ❤️, i'll do my best for writing more and post them soon :D
Thank you so much!!!!! And again sorry for the delay!!! :) anything else I'm still here ;)

hello I followed you after seeing your sawamura icon, stayed for the multiple other shared interests. I started ace of diamond without researching past "scores an 8.1/10 on my anime list" and tragically learned too late that despite its' 170+ episodes and 2013 premiere it's not finished 🙃 how can they do this to us
oh come on!!! why did you ask anonymously!?? send me a message and introduce yourself to me so we can talk about DnA for the entire day!! hahaha. anyway, thank you for the ask and for the follow.
I've only watched this anime last year because I've been avoiding this anime like the plague. i mean, 170+ episodes about sports anime and I don't have a friggin' clue how to play the sports. how am I supposed to enjoy it? before I watched this anime, I was watching yowa pedal and I felt like craving another sports anime. and then my sister suggested, "what about daiya? you're in for the long haul" and I was like, "okay. I'll just drop it if I don't feel like watching it anymore." and here we are, addicted to the anime even now. I am still reading the manga though, but seriously, I am still wishing and hoping for another next anime season.
DnA is now my most favorite sports anime and this is the first time I tried writing anime fanfic about it. See?? I do have a lot to say about this anime so I do apologize for my long reply. ( ̄▽ ̄*)��
But seriously though, send me a message! Pretty please! Let's talk about this anime more and some "other shared interests" that you've mentioned. („• ᴗ •„)

Okay, to start my list of interests, let's sort through some fields of human knowledge.
Honestly, as long as you have knowledge to share, there's a high chance I will be entertained. ☺️
My favorites are Math, Physics, and Language, and I'm fairly proficient in them.
I really like Psychology thanks to my super passionate college professor, and I try to apply the things I learned as often as possible.
I have high interest, but sadly only surface-level knowledge in Music, Art, and Philosophy, along with all the other natural sciences.
I'm not generally into Sports, but I'm really competitive when playing Laser Tag. Hahahaha.
My greatest weaknesses are History, Politics, and Economics. But I've been trying to improve my knowledge in these fields lately so I've been reading non-fiction books that revolve around these. Surprisingly, I'm having a lot of fun.
And speaking of books...
Most fiction books I've enjoyed before fall under Fantasy/Sci-Fi and Adventure, and most of them are part of a series or trilogy (e.g. PJ&O, The Kingkiller Chronicle, Lorien Legacies, etc). But I do read the occasional Romance, mostly LGBT male coming-of-age stuff. I've read a few books from other genres like Mystery/Crime, but mainly upon recommendation. I really am planning to explore different genres very soon though, maybe I'll check out some poetry books here and there, or perhaps I'll explore Murakami's surrealist books 'cause I read The Strange Library and I really liked it.
Lately, I've been reading several things on Webtoon as well because I love how bite-sized the chapters are. Haha. Mostly wholesome stuff like Boyfriends. and Castle Swimmer, but also other somewhat messed up ones like Lookism and Everything is Fine.
As for manga, I follow one called Kingdom (which features a dramatization of China in the Warring States period; it helps supplement my learning in some ways), not to be confused with the korean drama Kingdom, which I also watch anyway.
And that brings me to the things I watch...
My interest in series and movies is based on the following criteria:
It is intellectually stimulating.
I can learn a lot from it.
The relationship dynamics are wholesome, emotional, and/or extreme.
The script is witty and/or well-written.
There is a fascinating premise.
There is an... interesting peculiar character with high agency.
There is good LGBT representation in it.
It features some form of superpowers or even just abilities that are almost superhuman.
Ensemble Cast (kahit roughly)
There is a cute guy in it.
Note: Not all criteria must be met, but the more a series meets, the higher the chance I'd like it. BLs are exceptions; I just watch those for mediocre entertainment.
That's why I easily fell in love with Sense8, because it ticks off most items from this list. Sherlock ticks off about five and I easily liked it too. I liked Dexter mainly because of the premise, which directly ties into Dexter's peculiarity. I like dramas like The Fosters and Shameless thanks to the script, relationships, and LGBT rep. I like Elite as a drama for those same reasons, plus lots of cute guys hahaha. I also like comedies like Trial and Error and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, for the witty scripts.
I won't mention everything ha, para naman may suspense pa rin in getting to know me. 😄
And I also apply the same criteria to Anime. I like Code Geass and Hyouka mainly because they're intellectually stimulating. I like Dr. Stone mainly because I learn a lot from it. FMA Brotherhood mainly for the premise. Charlotte and BnHA for the abilities. But I've also enjoyed several drama and romcom anime for the character relationships involved.
As for my interests in music...
I like a song when it is shaped to sound like the ideas it wants to convey. Songs in musicals do this a lot. I'm open to listening to songs from various genres, but I can't quite appreciate Heavy Metal yet because its shape seems too uniform across the different songs it encompasses. To me at least.
If you prefer to bond over games, here are some games I've spent considerable time on, in the past:
Pokemon (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Crystal, Yellow, Platinum, SoulSilver, Alpha Sapphire)
Assassin's Creed (I, II, Brotherhood)
Civilization (V, VI)
Democracy (3, 4)
Harvest Moon (FoMT, MFoMT, DS, DS Cute, A New Beginning)
Story of Seasons (FoMT)
Stardew Valley
Minecraft
Unturned
The Forest
I play Genshin Impact lately. And I've also been learning Hearthstone and Starcraft II lately. I started My Time at Portia two or three months ago, but I haven't gotten the chance to continue it. I've tried a few first-person shooter games before, and they were okay, but none of them really grew on me. The breaking-the-symmetry concept of ML is pretty interesting, but I haven't really played it enough to know my way around the different strategies one could employ.
As for board games... well, I suck at them, but they're pretty fun! 🤣
Hopefully all this info gives you an idea of what kind of things I find interesting, but...
if you're planning to be friends with me, I'd really appreciate it if you give me a glimpse of your own individuality too, and if you passionately share knowledge that stems from your own unique experiences. Like I said before, I love learning what the world is like for other people! ☺️

Personality Matchup
One 𝑅𝓊𝒷𝓎 coming right up for @armin-ocean-eyes
A/Note: Hey thank you so very much for visiting THE VAULT. I hope you like your match up :) Sorry that I’ve taken so long, I’ve been preoccupied with school but nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this. Sorry, I’m late. Love <3 ~ Sar-chan
Tumblr media
I match you with
Tumblr media
Runner Up: Kozume Kenma
Here are some Headcannons:
I think when you and Yamaguchi first met there was a bit of silence at first but little by little the conversations became more as both of you became close you were louder around each other.
When you guys started dating he first took you on a roller-skating date and he was surprisingly very good for explaining to you he had no experience in the early stages of meeting. The truth is he went the week before to practice with Tsukishima to practice with you and he has many bruises to prove it.
I think you and Yamaguchi match outfits sometimes because he has a similar style to you. A lot of times if he goes out he always brings something back he’s seen on the way that you’ll like.
I think Tsukishima makes fun of your height more than often but Yamaguchi is quick to tell you he thinks it’s fine and cute and that he should leave you alone. Note he will blush while doing so and ruffle your hair to kind of shield his embarrassment in a way.
I think Yamaguchi favorite type of date to take you on is a book shop date and after he’ll take you to a café so you can read and munch on something.
Yamaguchi will ask you to teach him to cook and bake things. If you touch him while demonstrating he’s going to turn red and mostly hum while trying his best to pay attention.
He’ll surprise you with the recipes you’ve taught him and so much more because I think he naturally has a knack for baking sweet treats.
I think when Yamaguchi needs comfort he requests you read to him of you’re up to it, he won’t push you to. He especially likes it if you let him lay his head in your lap and brush through his hair, its relaxing for him.
When you need comfort I think Yamaguchi will make you snacks and put on a documentary he had found and saved for both of you to watch. He’ll listen to you talk while holding you and give you a soft kiss on the forehead for reassurance.
I think Yamaguchi accidently ruined one of your books and instead of telling you first he kind of panicked and bought you a new copy and several other books he thought you’d like or had been on your reading list.
Yamaguchi got addicted to the games you introduced him to so much that he asks very often if you’ll lay against his chest while he plays If you’re not up to it.
He likes being near you and dedicated a lot of time to cuddles with soft music in the background, he really appreciates having you in his arms.

I hope you liked it :)

"Can we talk about the BNHA OC Comeback timeline? I've been dying to talk about my theories for the BNHA OC Comeback timeline all day!"
-Me to anyone willing to listen.
Here are the ramblings of me, someone who has no restraint when it comes to coming up with crazy theories about their interests, rambling about their theories on how the BNHA OC Comeback timeline could work.
Note: this is all speculation, and if the people in charge of the AU deem it to not be canon it is not. This was just something I did for fun because I wanted to do some writing. That is why I said could happen and not should happen, because this is all just fun speculation, and none of the other fandoms I am a part of have been able to scratch that itch for me lately.
Also, I will be talking about spoilers for a majority of the anime, but mostly stuff revealed in seasons 3-5, with a little bit of stuff from seasons 1 and 2, since those are the seasons with a lot of the important details that I will be attempting to write work arounds for. I will also be using the Wiki's names for story arcs (a list of which can be found here) when referring to specific plot events.
My ramblings about my theories are under the read more:
Also, to start this off, this speculation was pretty much brought upon by this post from the official BNHA OC Comeback blog, but what is important here is the tags.
Tumblr media
I think the idea of Class 1-A and Class 1-B being third years would be a good starting point for what I want to be diving into.
First point should be a little obvious but in this timeline, Deku still inherits One for All from All Might. This is mainly because if he didn't, if someone where to write or draw an interaction between this version of class 1-A with, lets say class 1-X for this example, Deku would likely not be there, due to not having a quirk, causing the question of "who is the 20th student in class 1-A?" One for All would likely be passed down to someone else (most likely Mirio because Nighteye was going to recommend him to All Might in the first place, and if Deku is not going to inherit it, I doubt there would be anything in the way of Mirio getting One for All)
Second point I want to point out is the battle between All Might and All for One that had happened before the events of the show. I think All Might will still suffer from his injuries from the fight, and continue being the symbol of peace, even if it is killing him. BUT I think it would be best if All for One gets defeated and gets put into hiding, not initiating any of his plans or finding Tomura Shigaraki. Tomura never getting taken in by One for All would also cause the League of Villains to never form (at least not in the way we are familiar with) so we.
Third Point is, although this is speculation, and I do not know where Nomus come from, I do think, even without the league of villains, there would be some sort of lab somewhere where Nomus are being created, likely as one of the last things All for One was able to set into motion before going into hiding in the AU. (I mostly went with this because I think Nomus as a concept are really cool, and I think it would be great to have some sort of generic enemy for the 1-X and 1-Y students to have to face without the need of creating a new organization)
Fourth Point is because All for One is in hiding, so All for One can not force All Might to reveal his "injured form" (I dunno what else to call it), but I do think when All Might and Sato get engaged, he will maybe (and this is a big maybe) reveal it to the public on his own, as more of a "I'm retiring and settling down now" then a "You must keep fighting because I can not" thing, causing crime to not sky rocket, but still rise because there is no more symbol of peace, since there is still the possibility (at least in the publics mind) that All Might could come out of retirement and go back to saving people.
Alright now I begin with some of the actual stuff that actively happened in the show that Class 1-A and Class 1-B had experienced.
Alright so everything at the beginning of the anime is the same, going up until the USJ arc. This is because, as stated previously, there is no League of Villains to attack the USJ. The only thing I can think of that could possibly stay the same is the All Might vs Nomu fight, because I think Nomus as a concept are cool and that was an awesome fight. The only way for the fight to happen though is that the Nomu is let loose somewhere else, like a highly populated area, because it makes no sense for it to be at USJ without the League.
Next is the sports festival, and this would also go the same. But after that is probably the most interesting arc I leave mostly unchanged, being the Hero Killer Arc. This is because, even without a League of Villain's, there would still be people following Stain's ideologies after he is detained, so I think maybe there could be some sort of small unorganized group of people following Stain's beliefs that there are no more "true" heroes. The group of stain followers would likely be the characters that had joined the League of Villains after the Hero Killer Arc (like Dabi, Himiko Toga, and Twice). It is also unchanged in the sense that the students are interning with Pro Heroes, and that Nomus are running around, being a cool concept (can you tell I like Nomus? I just think they are neat.).
Next is the Final exams Arc, which would go unchanged, but the next arc, the Forrest Camp Training arc, would also not have a League attack (because there is no league), and Class 1-A and Class 1-B have a normal experience at the training camp, causing there to be no Hideout Raid arc, because there is no hideout to raid.
Next, the Provisional License Exams are the same results, so no change here, except Camie Utsushimi would be there instead of Toga's impersonation of her, and still ending up to need to take the Remedial Course.
After that is the Shie Hassaikai Arc and then Remedial Course Arc. The Shie Hassaikai Arc would actually largely go unchanged because it is mainly just another internship for the Hero Course students, with the only change to the arc being the League involvement being removed, even though this would leave some plot holes, which I will fill by saying the small unorganized Stain followers would take the place of the league (since Toga and Twice are apart of the Stain followers group, so they would still end up working for them, filling the same rolls they had in the original Arc). Also Overhaul doesn't lose his arms because there would be no reason for him to get them ripped off (because there is no League of Villains). ALSO this means Eri would be canon to the BNHA OC Comeback, which I wanted to mention since from my knowledge she is a fan favorite. After that, the Remedial Course would go unchanged.
I'm also going to say that Mirio will have already gotten his quirk back during the main events of the AU, since Nighteye had predicted that he would get it back before Nighteye had died. How he gets it back will likely go unanswered, since I have not read ahead to the most recent chapter of the manga, only watching the anime, so we should leave the answer to how he got it back to be unclear just in case he gets it back in a spoiler-y way.
Then, lastly as of right now, the rest of the arcs would go unchanged up untill the latest arc where Todoroki, Midoriya, and Bakugo are interning with Endeavor, excluding the parts of the arc going into the Meta Liberation War, which can not properly go through thanks to their being no League of Villains, but especially because there is no Tomura.
Alright now we get to the stuff some of you are here for, being the new info and timeline stuff that occurs during the year Class 1-X and 1-Y are first years. First off, Class 1-A and Class 1-B would now be third years, which was a concept brought up in the original post that cause my brain to go into theory mode.
I would also like to pose the idea of a new "Big Three", replacing Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado (and also the nameless "Big Three" from when 1-A/1-B had been second years in this AU) since 1-A and 1-B are now all third years. This new "Big Three" would be made up of Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and Izuku Midoriya, seeing as out of Class 1-A and Class 1-B, those three have shown to be the most consistent heavy hitters (and also being the most relevant to the original plot).
Aside from that, Class 1-A and 1-B would not be doing that much in the AU aside from the new "Big Three" occasionally helping out the first year Hero Course students with their studies.
Anyway if you read this far I really appreciate it. I have some more ramblings about stuff in the tags, but its more side stuff that doesn't really effect this AU within another AU.

Pros and Cons
Matsukawa Issei x reader
summary: Being childhood friends with Oikawa and Iwaizumi had few perks, it's all worth it when one of those perks came in the form of one(1) Matsukawa Issei.
Where Matsukawa gets a nickname.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
a/n: yall rmb y/n talking about a hot vb boy? yea also makki is a lil shit but everyone loves him  UPDATE: reuploaded sorry😓😓😓
You had made it a point to visit trainings whenever you were free now.
Always popping up whenever the coaches left, Matsukawa’s eyes were instinctively drawn to you when you entered, not that it was hard, considering how much ruckus you made.
After greeting everyone generally, you spent some time chatting with OIkawa when you head whips around to-
Kyoutani?
Oh right, this would be the first time you met him after anticipating it for so long. Matsukawa gestures to Makki about your actions and the two of them pause to watch the show.
Prancing over to the cropped blonde, excitement coming off in waves, "Kyouken! I've heard so much about you! I-"
"Stay away from me." he practically growled.
You froze in your tracks.
"Huh?" your head tilts, taking a step towards him.
"Why?"
Another step.
The growling intensifies, "Or else."
"Or else what? What are you going to do to me?"
Another step.
You're standing directly in front of him now, eye to eye. The sound of balls impacting a gym floor has ceased. Matsukawa tenses, holding his breath.
A second passes, then five.
Kyoutani turns and sprints out of the gymnasium.
Jolted by the sound of feet slamming against the floor, you turn around, head resting on your palm, "Oh dear, I don't think he likes me very much. What a pity," you basically spat the last word out. The contrast between your words and your sinister smile sends shivers down his spine.
Wow. He lets out a low whistle, that sure was something. For a second there, you had the same menacing aura Oikawa sometimes sported. He doesn't know if the stuttering of his heart was fear or attraction.
Somewhere nearby he hears Oikawa's laughter get cut off by a yelp and a stern warning. ("I told you to stop influencing her! Now look at how weird she is!")
Makki comments what he thought, “What, the fuck?”
“Amazing, isn’t she? I thought her that mysELF-“ Oikawa is cut off by a blow to the stomach.
“Shut up, stop looking so proud of yourself, Shittykawa,” Iwaizumi scowls.
By this time you had made your way back to them, all smiles. “Sure hope I get to talk to him again someday,”
Makki snorts his water out.
Tumblr media
The morning for the study session arrives.
As Matsukawa strolls to your house, he briefly wonders how the day might go. He figures it might become a little awkward if it was just the two of you, so he's thankful that Makki would be present.
Your house comes into view when the devil himself texts him.
Tumblr media
He doesn't have to wait long before he got his answer. Just as he presses the doorbell, his phone chimes again.
Tumblr media
Ah fuck. He doesn't even have time to curse him before the door is swinging open.
"Hi," you greet him, "welcome, to my humble abode," you usher him in with a flourish.
Ah shit, he takes off his shoes, here we fucking go.
Making his way to your bedroom he takes note of the frankly absurd number of houseplants that filled the place. Every free window, corner and crevice was stuffed with greenery. He vaguely remembers a flourishing garden in the front yard too.
Entering your room was no different, every available space on your desk and windowsill had small succulents and tiny flowering plants. He takes a moment to study while you set up the floor table.
“Doesn’t... having a lot of plants diminish your oxygen level at night...?” Your head whips around, scowl already in place.
“That’s just a myth. Plants don’t produce enough carbon dioxide at night to suffocate, otherwise how would forest animals survive?” The agitation with which you reply clues him in that you got this question too often.
“Also, if that works I would have already died,” you add on as an afterthought.
His eyebrows shoot upwards as he blinks slowly, “Um, alright, good to know?”
You grin in response, patting the floor next to you, “Sorry about the mess, I don’t have many friends who visit,”
“Judging by how much time you spend with us, I was starting to think you didn’t have any others,” he teases, eager to clear the awkward air.
“Eh, that’s true,” you shrug, “you guys are kind of my only friends in Seijoh,”
Oh shit, did he just overstep? He cringes inwardly when you interrupt.
“Why else would I spend so much time with a bunch of idiots?” the playfulness of your tone allows him to relax.
“Considering how well you mesh with us, doesn’t that make you an idiot too?”
Your smile drops, making a noise of indignation as your own joke is played against you. He just laughs as he avoids your smack, opening his textbook.
Tumblr media
The previous conversation still weighing on his mind, he contemplates asking you about it.
“What is it.” You don’t even look up.
“What?”
“I can feel you staring at me, and your finger tapping is really loud,” looking up, you scrunch your face at him. “If you wanna say something, just say it.”
“Mmmhm alright then, if you don’t mind, are you on bad terms with your classmates?”
You stare back blankly, “Not...as far as I know?”
“Do you not hang out with any of them?” Are you not friends with them? You sense the unasked question.
“Well...” you trail off for a few moments, contemplative, before looking him in the eyes, grimacing.
“It’s... kind of due to Kawa?” at his confusion you rush to explain, “Not that he did anything! It’s more of... us being so close? Even platonically,” you scratch the back of your neck.
“They’re nice until they find out I’m close friends with Kawa and Iwawa. Then they either outright hate me, or get close to me in hopes of a better chance with him. Not all of them are like that though! But, at a certain point it’s easier to avoid that problem entirely rather than sifting through. Some girls look really nice, I just don’t know how to talk to them, I transferred in so late, after all.” you laugh sheepishly.
He hopes he isn’t letting his indignation show on his face.
“Does he know?”
“God no, that’s kind of a bastard thing to do, isn’t it? Hey, did you know I can’t have any girl friends cause they’re all crazy over you? That’s kind of fucked up yea? He can’t even do anything about it.” You wave a hand in the air, dismissing the idea.
“What about Iwaizumi,” he tries.
An incredulous look, “You think he would understand that? He barely even looks at girls! Actually, now that you mention it, a sizeable portion of the girls who befriended me had a crush on him. Guess it’s because he’s intimidating,” you nod along to your own words.
“So you’ve just been alone this time?” He can’t wrap his head around it.
“I haven’t been alone! I’ve got you guys, don’t I? I wouldn’t change that for anything,”
The look of happiness you pin him with causes his heart to flutter, but he’s not entirely convinced.
Sensing his unease you soften, “Besides, there’s only a few more months left, I can handle it,”
He exhales his frustration, letting the topic go. Nothing much he could help with anyway. The only thing he could do now was stay by your side, if you need him.
“Thank you for your concern,” You pat his hand comfortingly, the sides of your lips tug upwards, and you speak the next words gravely. “But,” breath bated, he waits for you to continue.
“sometimes, it really do be like that.”
He attempts to flip the table, causing you to scramble for cover, choking on your laughter as you do.
Tumblr media
The two of you fall into a steady rhythm, asking each other questions here and there.
A few hours pass when both phones chime, breaking your concentrations, “Oh! Makkun’s at the convenience store now, whaddya want?”
He tells you his order and while you type it in, he observes your figure.
You’ve got a thing for nicknames, he’s always wondered about it.
“Hmm? What? Oh, yea, I guess I do, what about it?” Looking up, your gaze is pointed.
“Huh?” Shit, did he say that out loud?
“You said I got a thing for nicknames? What about it?” You leaned towards him, a teasing grin forming.
He feels himself begin to instinctively draw back before forcing himself to still. “Just like Oikawa, was what I meant.”
At this, your grin deepens, “Well, duh. Who do you think he got it from?”
Interesting. He nods in understanding.
“Well,” he drags the word out, mirroring your grin, “you don’t have a unique nickname for me, are we not close enough?”
Your smile turns into an O as you process his words. He’s right, you never really thought about it.
“Huh. I guess not. Do you want one?”
Stupid of him to admit, but he didn’t expect you to ask him that, and he takes a moment to decide. Did he want a special nickname from you? Is that asking too much? Moving too fast? Just as he’s about to reply, you make the choice for him.
“You know what? I’m gonna give you one anyway. Just give me some time to think.”
He just shrugs, accepting, and goes back to doing his work.
Some time passes and he sneaks a glance at you. A cute furrow nestled between your brows, you doodled in your notebook.
“I’ve got it!” You slam your hands on the table, shifting to place more weight on your knees, leaning far across the table now.
His pencil slips out of his hands from the sudden eye contact.
“How about,” you pause for effect, so close now he could count the light freckles on your cheeks, “Issei?”
The sound of his name coming out of your lips causes his brain to short-circuit. He never knew it could sound so sweet.
“Well?” You probe, “It’s kind of a cop out but I like how it sounds,” you sound it out a few more times with different intonations.
He thinks he might die.
“Hey, you okay? If you don’t like it you can let me know, yanno?”
“It’s fine,” he chokes out, “go ahead.”
“Great! Then-“
The doorbell rings.
“Oh! He’s here! Be right back!” You don’t wait for a reply before leaving.
Matsukawa has never been more thankful for Makki’s impeccable timing. Lucifer used to be an angel, he supposes.
He passes a hand over his face, willing his cheeks to cool down.
Tumblr media
He composes himself just in time for Makki and you to enter.
Makki lets out a hum of appreciation, “Mad oxygen in here,”
He turns to you, “Say, isn’t it bad for you at night?”
“Oh my god, do the two of you share one braincell?”

Heyo can I request a hq matchup thingy? I've been all over yer blog and its cute!
I'm 5'8 (on the verge of 5'9), sorta athletic build, lanky but not really slim and more on the curvy side, she/they, light redish brown skin tone, I have shoulder length coily dark brown hair with bangs, glasses, i wear beanies to hide my bedhead and I have a slash on my left eyebrow from when i scraped it on a desk at age nine it was very fun. Totally unrelated note but my friends say i smile like Squirtle and when I'm mad i just look like a really intimidating baby duck 😞
I'm a sagittarius, I have ADHD, a little tomboyish personality wise bc i wear a lot of skirts but im nowhere near girly, I'm a bit rowdy but I'd never do anything to make someone uncomfortable, i gots mommy issues and a little bit of a temper but I'm very approachable, I speak fluent sarcasm and can come off a little rude if ya don't know me that well but I'm very respectful but i kinda swear a lot....
Despite my 'sense of instability' i come from a family full of lawers and veterans (kept separate my parents broke up before i as born), growing up I didnt have the best childhood so i always have empathy and best believe i will fact check you if your out of line 🤬. I'm the one who's willing to cheer you on and support you through thick and thin as well as being at almost every game or event your preforming/ playing at :), I'm very generous and a bit of a care giver(more of a simp if ya squint): ya want water?? "here have mine", hungry? ''oh want McDonald's? i can pay if ya want'' cold?? "here my hoodie im pretty warm already"
My hobbies include singing, playing bass and acoustic guitar, both traditional + digital drawing, dancing and i play a lot of sports like volleyball (i spike and/or set), softball (pitch), boxing + track and field (are those two even a sport???). I've always wanted to be a really big artist and if it doesn't work out i can always try out voice acting bc even though my voice is pretty low i can make it really high pitch like shoujo anime girl high pitch or become a sports journalist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm the memer of my friend group and i like to think my sense of humor and style are on point. I'm a big horror movie junkie... from 80s to late and early 2000s, every slashers, thrillers to sci-fi trust me I've watched it all >:), i loveeeee Pokémon i may or may mot have had a huge crush on Brock and James when i was 6 , and Sanrio, i stick kuromi stickers on everything i own 😅.

Sorry this seems pretty long and totally disregard if yer busy but have a good day/night <3

Romantic Matchup
Semi Eita
Tumblr media
How Y’all Met
So you we’re new to Shiratorizawa
And you we’re just walking around campus when you found a gym
When you peeked inside you saw a empty gym
But what really intrigued you was the volleyball net and balls inside 👀
The gym looked pretty empty so you decided to mess around with the volleyballs for a bit
You got so into your practicing that you didn’t notice Semi walk in
Semi was a little confused on why there was just a random person in the gym
But he couldn’t deny that you had some skill 😗
However he saw that you were struggling with your sets
So he decided to help you 😃
Ngl you we’re very kinda embarrassed about getting caught practicing
But he assured you that he didn’t really care and that the rest of the team wasn’t coming for another 30 minutes or so
After hearing that you gladly accepted his offer to help you practice
You two actually got to know each other quite well during this time
So when the rest of the team started filing in to practice
You gave Semi your number and told him to text you if he ever wanted to hang out
You left just before Tendou started picking on Semi for blushing 👀
Anyways you guys became really good friends and would hang out A LOT
So nobody was too shocked when you both decided to start dating
But apparently Tendou and Shirabu had made a bet on it 😅
What They Love About You
He loves the fact that your kind
But will fuck someone up if needed 🙂
He knows he never has to worry about you
He loves that your a fellow musician
To him it’s just one more thing you two have in common
And it’s one more thing he gets to do with you
He loves how supportive you are
Even though you know that semi doesn’t get to play that much
You still show up to EVERY one of his games to cheer the team on
And oh god when he does get to play
I swear people from OUTSIDE the gym can hear you cheering for him
Honestly he doesn’t mind if your a simp 👀
There’s a teeny tiny 🤏 part of him that likes to be babied
Favorite Things To Do Together
Oml he loves for horror movie marathons
He absolutely loves them
Because A: he gets to watch almost EVERY single horror movie made
And B: he gets to watch them with you :D
Oh and he also loves to watch any and all marvel movies with you 👀
But other than movies
He loves to make music with you
Duh
It’s usually you both playing instruments together
But every now and then one of you will sing 🎶
Random Hc
You two write the CUTEST songs together
But you never ever sing them
Like wtf you two
One time semi offered to help you practice your spikes
And you accidentally hit him in the face 💀
Now he swears you have a better spike then ushijima 👀
Your friends mentioned your squirtle smile to him...
And now he can’t unsee it 🥲
Astrology
The security and flexibility they can give one another.
Once they open up to one another and to appreciate their different philosophies in love and in life, these two have potential for steamy relations, deep connections and heartfelt respect.
As long as they communicate and celebrate their differences, theirs will be a passionate relationship.
Both Scorpio and Sagittarius see each day as an adventure and as an endless opportunity to explore, to probe, to learn. Shared escapades bring them closer.
While Sagittarius may get fed up with Scorpio’s stubbornness and inflexibility, Scorpio could be thinking their Sagittarius mate is just a little too hotheaded.
They’ll enjoy learning together, and travel could be very beneficial for this pair.
Their relationship is always on the go!
Mars is the God of War, opening the door for Scorpio’s determined, courageous character.
Mars, when combined with Pluto, represents rebirth and renewal.
Jupiter focuses on philosophy, higher learning, expansion, optimism, luck and travel.
These planetary attributes — of growth, expansion and masculine energy — combine to create a sustainable relationship of mutual admiration.

Nostalgia
what i’m listening to: Remind Me by Röyksopp
i am well aware that i say this a lot, but in all honesty the passage of time has me fucked up. lately, i've become aware of how my taste in music is what kids would now call dad rock as millennials are now in their late 20s to early 40s and are starting families of their own.
maybe it is because i was raised by millennials to where i grew up like a mini version of one as i, for the most part, listen to a majority of the music my parents do and enjoy. hell, from an early age my mother instilled a love for my chemical romance in me because she used the welcome to the black parade album to cope with the loss of her father. and it wouldn't be until middle school to where i would begin to transition into my 2010s emo/scene kid revival phase when it would hit me.
i actually remember it quite distinctly as a friend and i had been in my apartment going through my mother's ipad to find music to listen to when she excitedly found out we had mcr on there (i had said in the moment that it was my mom's.) my friend had thought it was so cool that we listened to mcr and that they were such a good band and thus began my descent into the alt culture.
i shouldn't shouldn't be surprised by it, really, at the age of 7 i would sing lithium by nirvana during karaoke along with zombie by the cranberries. but as i cling onto these bands that i grew up with (and really what my parents grew up with) it haunts me to think that it's now on the classic rock station. to me still it feels like 1991 was 10 years ago, but in reality it was 30 years ago which feels so wrong in a way? i mean it takes me out to realise 2011 was 10 years ago despite my brother being 11, but even then i have the hardest grasp on the fact that he's that old as it feels like just last week he was the annoying little toddler dressed up as muno from yo gabba gabba.
maybe this is a side effect of growing older - your concept of time becomes skewed as the days blend together before soon becoming months and eventually years. maybe this is how my father feels when he looks at me and tells me he remembers when i was a chubby child and sporting what he calls duck lips before eventually shaking his head as if dispelling the memory away from where it came.
he often apologises me for missing out on my life as my parents divorced when i was 8 and my mother got me while he had me weekends. i tell him he really shouldn't worry about it as i don't remember most of my childhood anyways, maybe from the years long resentment i held for my mother or from some trauma i've repressed. possibly it is a combination of the two, i'm not too sure.
there's this weird duality to it, really, i've repressed so much and yet i still wish to go back in time for somethings as i miss the feelings that they've brought me. in particular i miss people and animals that are no longer in my life usually it is the dead, but i also miss the ones that i have parted ways with whether it be on bad terms or good ones. maybe it's the cancerian in me and how i miss family - found or blood.
i think that's what it is and why i have such a complex relationship with yearning for the past and being unable to let things go. why i cant unfollow friends i share with my ex even though i never want to see her again, but they are still my friends (or at least i hope they are, even though a majority of them decided to stay friends with her while i went off into isolation to cope with the fact she left me for my cousin's friend.)
whatever it is, i think i shouldn't ruminate on it much longer as the past is still the past and it won't do much good fixating on it because it won't change and i can only become better from here on out.
with that i wish you a very nice rest of your day and want you to know that i love you and hope you stay hydrated.

I just have to give a cheers to my dear Dad up there on Derby Day, who’s probably so thankful he’s exactly where he is today, knowing him and considering all things as they have been lately! Dogwood stable had a whopping eight horses in the Derby from 1991 - 2013.  Second, third, fourth and beyond. My father never got that ultimate gold ring of horseracing. But he got closer than most in the history of the sport.   We won the Preakness (Summer Squall), and we won the Belmont (Palace Malice), and a gazillion other important races with a continuous string of some of the top horses in the world along the way.   Not only did he enter the game at a time when the old guard of American society and finance was well-ensconsed and befittingly claimed the Sport of Kings as their own. But  Cot Campbell found an incredibly innovative way to break his way into the old game, initially much to the dismay of these old American families – the Vanderbilts Whitneys, Phipps, etc..-  but that didn’t slow him down. He was a believer…. in his own dream. Not long after his idea was conceived and implemented and the green and gold silks were becoming a more familiar sight at the top racetracks around the country, the reality hit that he had actually changed the name of the game, and I dare say allowed for racing to continue as a modern sport that it is today.   As he always said, necessity is the mother of invention!   Cot Campbell therefore became known, for the span of his long prosperous career and for eternity in the horse racing world, as the “Pioneer of Thoroughbred Racehorse Syndication.” He always said to the press:  I was the lucky one who stumbled into it! If I hadn’t, someone else surely would have. Second part may be truth, first part not so true. It was what he was built for. What he was made for - his destiny.  His dad, another hero of mine for reasons I’ll go into another day, and his grandfather exposed him to horseracing back in the days of the great Kelso. Dad found his hero in the way of this big hearted, hard-trying beauty of a horse (look him up if you’re interested). With more exposure throughout his childhood, he fell in love with horses, and the risk and energy and every aspect of the classic romantic sport of horseracing that came with those powerful majestic animals barrelling down the racetrack. My beloved grandfather, Wild Bill Campbell, (Who I miss at times almost as much as my dad) had a horseracing stable for a brief stint called Shoestring Stable in historic Franklin, TN. When World War II broke out, there was a ban on unnecessary travel (um, how we all get that now in 2020 :-&!). He had just gotten his stable working on all cylinders and in full blown Go-mode - ready to ship these primed young racehorses off to the racetrack to do what they were born to do. Due to this poorly-timed government ban, Shoestring Stable went bankrupt before they ever broke out of the gate.  But after experiencing days at the track with his grandfather and seeing his own father build and labor over his stable of racehorses (whether they raced or not), the love and passion for the sport was stamped in Cot Campbell’s blood from that time forward.   A lot of history dots to be filled in after that in my father’s quite unorthodox life and early career, but one commonality for these two Campbell men was work in the fields of sportswriting, novel and guidebook and memoir writing, PR, and advertising. Believe me, there are endless (now funny)lesson-loaded stories between the two of them and their respective careers full of stunts and stints working in every possible kind of position and situation but I’ll continue on for now and revisit those on another interesting day. I was fortunate enough to work for my dad for seven years in the Dogwood Stable office (a beautiful white Victorian house with a wrap-around porch) in Aiken, SC as PR Director. My dad did not believe in nepotism. I had to deserve the job and got no special treatment or pay. And it was a highly sought-after job whenever it happened to open up.  I called him 'Cot' when I was on duty, like the rest of his employees. This job was one of the most rewarding and most challenging experiences of my life. A lot was demanded and especially when we had an entry in a Triple Crown race, and even more especially when we had a favorite. Crazy, energetic bustling times. A bonus was getting to know so many members of the national sports press personally who have since become lifelong friends.  That position as one of the Top 10 Horseracing stables in the country for a long time required it.  EightDerby horses required it! My dad was a very smart businessman in everything that he touched....once he stopped drinking. At age 31. That decision changed his life. As it can sure do. That's another accomplishment of his I am inordinately proud of. He went on to help endless friends and strangers make that same decision for themselves. He only attended AA in the beginning of his sobriety but was a strong believer in and advocate for the program until he died, even saying he thought the best 'church' out there was AA. My dad was a sought out speaker at AA meetings his whole life, and I think he would say that stopping drinking for him was the thing in his life he was the most proud of. I've always said I wouldn't be here if he hadn't made it AA that dark night in mid-town Atlanta in 1957.   He wrote about his drinking life (and all the rest of it) in his third published book called Memoirs of A Longshot - subtitled 'A Riproarious Life'.  It's a highly entertaining read.   Anyway, my job as PR Director in the 90's was selling Dogwood (although it was really selling itself at that point) to the assorted colorful lot of top-of-their-game Sportswriters. . I have never learned as much in the business world as I did as PR Director of Dogwood stable, and I’ve done a lot of things in a lot of varied and significant positions (In the worlds of writing, editing, photography, PR, journalism, and nonprofit management and fundraising). And I”ve never been exposed to a classier, more colorful interesting world than that of horseracing. The final truth of the story is that horseracing would not be what it is today if my father had not done what he did when he did it and how he did it. Yes, maybe/probably someone else would’ve come up with it eventually and run with it, but they didn’t. He did ...early on. And he knew what to do with it. And  made the very bold risky decision to sell out of his thriving Atlanta ad agency - Burton-Campbell (googleable if you care) to start forming racehorse partnerships, when everyone in Atlanta thought he were crazy. Except for mom, as Dad was always quick to point out.  He bought some horses at auction,  bought some land in southern Georgia, built a race track on it, a southern black woman stewing up the absolute best of dishes, and houses for trainers and staff and their families, etc. etc.. Then he bought some high-pedigreed horses at auction and brought them back to Dogwood Farm in Greenville, Georgia.   And then he bought another farm one a mile away to entertain guests after they’ve seen the horses breeze (85+% of their full-out ability)  on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Cars and busloads from Atlanta would flock to the farm on fall and spring weekends. They would tour the farm, get to know the horses and then come out to the race track watching area with their cocktails where my dynamic dad would get on the megaphone to explain what was happening with each horse.  Everyone was mesmerized. Groups of horses one set at a time flying by the crowd in all their majesty, hooves pounding, athleticism-at-its-best personified. How can you, If you were a guest for the day at the old Dogwood Farm in Greenville Georgia, not see these flashy powerful animals creating beauty in motion on the race track and not want in on that scene!!  You start to picture your future:  those well-recognized yellow and gold polka dot Dogwood silks worn by maybe Steve Cauthen.....or in more current days Irad Ortiz.  You, with your Owner credentials, get to show up in the paddock, watch your horse get saddled, shake the jockey's hand and listen to the trainer give race instructions. Then you go to the Clubhouse to your front and center box seat, drinking a Mint Julep or a Belmont Breeze or Saratoga Sunrise and watch YOUR horse win their race, at Saratoga or Keeneland or Belmont or Churchill Downs that YOU were there and present for.  And after the race, you run down to the track, congrats and high-fives along the route, to get your picture taken in the winners' circle.  “Count me in!!! I’ll take two or three shares!”   My father brought more than 1500 new people into racing, that (in most cases) couldn't have been in the game otherwise, through their being able to buy a share in a horse (or a group of horses in the beginning days).   Dad was a straight shooter too. He was always known by his clients and people he worked with, the media and everyone in the industry as dealing with total honesty and integrity. It’s a reputation he died with. And deserved to, wholeheartedly. My dad was a man of truth. Whether raw and brutal or warm and fuzzy. He delivered it as it was. And I did and do respect the hell out of that and learned a lot of good things from it that continue to serve me well. In business, yes he was a salesman. He was selling a fun experience (albeit an expensive one), but there were no hidden costs in any Dogwood syndicate. Our clients were treated like gold. They were what made the Dogwood engines keep running, as any clients in any business can take credit for, so they were treated as they should be and most became dear family lifetime friends. These were investors who, win or lose at the end of the day, were in it for the experience. Period. Cot Campbell rubbed people’s noses in the fact that they very well WON’T make money!   “Don’t get into it if you’re looking to make money” he was known to say.   He sold the experience as Crepes Suzette. It’s decadent, it’s extra, it’s rich, you may lose something in the taking (or gain - weight!), but you’ll have a hell of a fun time in the interim! So every time Triple Crown season rolls around on this first Saturday in May, the memories come flooding back of our Derby experiences as a family, and the pride wells up in me to see these owners there (MOST of whom these days are part of a partnership) celebrating and cheering on their horse, and to know that the whole game was changed back in the early ‘70’s by one man – my Dad, Cot Campbell, allowing fans to own a piece of a racehorse and that has therefore allowed the great sport of horseracing to continue to thrive on the level it does. So, I’m raising my Mint Julep to you, Dad. (You always made me a good strong drink....vicarious pouring, i always suspected ;-)). He wasn't perfect, but he did life right in my book. And left an undeniable unusual legacy that stands forever. And provided his family with a fun, interesting as heck life, and I’m one grateful daughter. CHEERS, WCC!!
