#basically it’s the herold they’re lesbians

[cryptid-crawly]

Since we all agree that there has to be some quirk to isekai people to another world (temporarily): Erasermight fic where Yagi and Aizawa are bamfed into a fantasy world. Yagi is the king of his kingdom, and Aizawa is one of the younger princes of a kingdom to the North that’s ruled by his mother, the Queen. Yagi’s kingdom is hosting a summit or smth so Aizawa was on his was anyway to attend. They see each other a few days into being in this world when the Northern Kingdom’s envoy arrives and are both relieved.

The main plot of the fic tho is, while waiting for this quirk to wear off, Aizawa “the Ice Prince” Shouta stays in Yagi’s kingdom even after the other royals leave. This would be weird enough on it’s own, but on top of that, the two of them are clueless about this world’s social norms. The result is some insane gossip going around the kingdoms: namely that they’re rivals and are both out to embarrass and shame the other one. (Meanwhile they’re just chillin, since this is set post-Kamino, they’ve grown closer as friends).

Some of the stuff that sparks rumors includes: Yagi asking Aizawa to dance (which he obviously only did to embarrass the prince—the king never dances with anyone); Aizawa was given a katana from the treasury because he doesn’t know how to use a short sword (clearly the prince stole it but the king can’t just accuse him of that); etc.

And then they finally find someone they recognize: the fantasy world’s Izuku. They’re overjoyed (Shouta tries to hide it but he’s happy too, shut up Toshi) and immediately whisk away Izuku and Inko to the palace and give them jobs there. Izuku is delighted to go from 0 dads to 2 dads, but everyone else in the palace isn’t sure what’s going on. Both royals refer to Izuku as theirs and argue over whose kid he is. Do they have some rivalry over the paternity of this kid???? (Izuku is clueless to everything but the “I have two dads!” aspect of this.) The palace workers are 100% Izuku is a prince, it’s just that no one knows *of which kingdom.*

Rumors get worse when they find the next problem child: Ochako. She’s given a job in the palace too, but she learned quick that she could make some side money selling gossip. Aizawa finds out and they strike a deal: Ochako is allowed to sell her bullshit but she’s also solely responsible for dealing with the letters the Queen has been sending asking what the ever-living-fuck is going on. Tsuyu and Tenya are next, although Tenya’s family is nobility so he’s not “kidnapped” so much as he comes to visit the palace often.

And of course there’s Shouto Todoroki. All the palace workers know is that one day there was a brand new prince, and when any of them commented how similar the prince looked to that one prince of Endeavor they were met with incredulity. Shouto is on a one man mission to gaslight everyone into believing he was just always there.

The rest of the fic progresses like this, with wild rumors and abundant child acquisition. And then poof! One day they’re back in their own word! The thing is….there were existing fantasy versions of Yagi and Aizawa before the hero ones took over, so when the hero pair poofs back, the original versions from that world return. Surprise! You are basically married with a million children! (They get used to it very quickly. 13/10 no regrets)

A while ago I had the chance to watch "The Handmaiden" (you might have heard of it) for the newest issue of K*Bang. So basically, it was quite something to analyze. My favorite part was sitting in the cinema with a bunch of old people having the "Herold, they're lesbians" moment (it was not so fun during the very explicit scenes, let me tell you). Overall, I would recommend the movie to anyone who is already fascinated by Korean or Japanese culture, because you'll get plenty. It's beautifully done. The fashion is AWESOME. However, it boarders a tad too much on the fanservice side - it's unrealistic at times. Then again - the ending (at least the scene before the last scene) is very satisfying, also, it's not too unauthentic, if you compare it to whatever "Carol" did.

THEN I got to say goodbye to 2NE1 and wrote about AOA, which I love, and I also got to write a bit about sexism in K-Pop (boy, I'm really surprised I haven't done this sooner). And a bit on "The Legend of the Blue Sea".
