My Hero Academia: It’s Our Turn Now!

We’re happy to present a guest post today by Christian fantasy author MH Elrich, contributor to Finding God in Anime Vol. 2, whom you can connect with on Instagram.

-----

Imagine this scene: you’re sitting in a classroom, waiting to present your project. You’ve been preparing for weeks, but you’re still pretty nervous because you hate getting up in front of people. You feel like you’re going to vomit, and you’re not sure if you want to go first to get it over with, or go last and then bolt straight out the door. Your teacher decides to pick each presenter randomly, and that just makes it worse. You begin to sweat, and you hope that it doesn’t show. Then, you hear the daunting words:

“You’re next!”

The sense of dread, combined with the relief of finally presenting is an odd and seemingly contradictory feeling—the kind of feeling that overwhelms Midoriya from My Hero Academia after watching All Might fight All for One. The kind of feeling that likely overcame the disciples of Jesus after they witnessed his death and resurrection, and heard his final words.

In Season 3, episode 11 of My Hero Academia, All Might issues his final words as a hero to the public after a fierce battle with All for One where All Might fights beyond his limits to defeat the villain who gave him a mortal wound during an earlier duel. Both episodes 10 and 11 are considered by fans to be among the best episodes of the entire series, and for good reason. They hold the audience captive, keeping us wondering if All Might will die trying to stop All for One. Thankfully, he is victorious, but he loses the remnants of his power in the process. At least it finally seems like the hardship is over. That is, until All Might issues these words: “Next, it’s your turn.”

Now, this may seem like a warning to criminals that All Might isn’t done with them yet—like he’s promising that they would not escape his justice. But Midoriya knows the truth: All Might won’t be dealing out any more punishment because he has spent the last of his power. All Might has passed the torch to Midoriya. So instead of All Might pushing back the darkness with his amazing powers, Midoriya has to do it now. That’s a lot of pressure for a fifteen-year-old, let alone one who idolizes All Might. He cries.

Midoriya is overwhelmed by the responsibility of such a burden and the grief that All Might will no longer be the hero he once was. In a sense, All Might has “died,” even though he is still alive.

Bakugo, standing nearby, realizes that Midoriya’s reaction is out of the ordinary. In subsequent episodes, he first discovers and then exposes Midoriya’s secret: All Might’s power, One for All, is passed down from person to person. All Might chose Midoriya over Bakugo as the heir to his power, and Bakugo takes this as a personal affront. He doesn’t recognize that All Might saw a hero’s heart in Midoriya—and possibly also saw that Bakugo didn’t need him as much. Missing the message, Bakugo is driven instead by jealousy and pride. He vows to prove that he is a better hero than Midoriya, even with One for All.

Both teenagers are disciples of All Might. They both idolized him as children and strove to be like him as they grew up. Yet when it comes to their reactions to their hero’s final charge to them, they couldn’t be more different. Bakugo takes All Might’s words as a challenge to do better. Midoriya takes them as an overwhelming burden.

This made me think of Jesus’s final words to his disciples:

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Matthew 28:18-20

How did the disciples react when they heard Jesus’s final words?

I imagine they felt a lot like Bakugo and Midoriya.

After all, Jesus had just died and come back to life, just like All Might “died” as the ultimate hero and Symbol of Peace, while yet remaining alive. Jesus had done the impossible and defeated death and Satan once and for all, an even worse foe than All for One. The disciples were feeling elated and excited, just as Midoriya and Bakugo were initially. And like All Might’s audience who thought he was going to keep chasing down criminals and meting out justice, so too the disciples probably thought their hero would go on to conquer the Romans in an epic, apocalyptic battle. But instead, Jesus does a surprising thing: he returns to heaven. Like All Might, Jesus departs unexpectedly just when the battle was won. And as he does, Jesus passes on the responsibility for being the new heroes of the world to his disciples.

Jesus’s words are equivalent to All Might’s. This is his last command, his last instruction for the disciples. The disciples might even have cried like Midoriya, or taken Jesus’s words as a challenge, like Bakugo.

Jesus’s words were not just for the disciples though. They also apply to us as followers of Christ. Jesus wants us to go and make disciples, to “be the new heroes of the world,” so to speak. We may find ourselves grappling with nerves about this tremendous burden or feeling overly confident and bluffing our way about the task. But doing that—being anxious or trying to do it on our own strength—is missing the point.

Like Midoriya and Bakugo, we are given a special superpower: the Holy Spirit. All Might’s power helps Midoriya become an epic hero despite how hard it is for him to refine his inheritance. Meanwhile, Bakugo’s natural ability was enhanced through All Might’s careful instruction and hard work. In the same way, the Holy Spirit sanctifies and refines us, and helps us “go and make disciples.” He gives us different abilities or “quirks”, as they are called in My Hero Academia. These abilities enable us to glorify God in ways that we could never have imagined, and that are unique to us. Both Midoriya and Bakugo have been given quirks that enable them to carry out All Might’s mission. But while Midoriya inspires others in ways that Bakugo never could, Bakugo motivates others in ways that Midoriya isn’t capable of. In the same way, the Holy Spirit gives us special abilities and talents that amplify our ability to carry out God’s Words in a special way. The Holy Spirit also reminds us that we are never alone.

All Might lives on, just as Jesus lives. All Might, though no longer a superhero, continues to train and influence Midoriya and Bakugo to become great heroes in their own right. In the same way, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit equips us to uniquely serve God.

Jesus and All Might’s final words issued a call to walk with them, side-by-side. How will you respond? I know what I will say:

“It’s our turn now.”

First time watching ToH S1E15 (Understanding Willow). Thoughts below:

Detailed thoughts:

OH GOD THIS EPISODE I’M FEELING SO MANY EMOTIONS ;_;

There’s a lot to unpack here and I’m not sure if I’m ready to tackle any of it.

I guess it’s time for another installation of the Psychoanalysis of Amity Blight. This episode really helps tie everything together regarding Amity’s backstory prior to the start of the series. As I feared, Amity comes from an influential family of witches w/ parents that only care about her as much as she reflects the family name.

Amity’s parents reject the idea of her befriending anyone who isn’t magically gifted, forcing her to break up w/ her best friend to her face, AT HER OWN BIRTHDAY PARTY, and forces her to be friends w/ the children of other influential witches that they work with.

It’s almost guaranteed that her parents are the reason why Amity wants to join the EC and why she’s been working so hard to do so. That, and as the youngest, Amity likely spent her entire childhood being compared to Ed and Em, who’re seen by everyone except herself as perfect (Amity says she’s the only one that knows they’re not), trying just as hard to perform as well as them.

Amity doesn’t care about her ‘friends’, Boscha and Skara, since she’s only forced to hang out w/ them bc of her parents trying to tie their family closer together w/ other influential witches.

The only way Amity is able to get by is by acting stoic, putting up walls b/w herself and others to keep herself from “showing weakness”, a defensive measure (or more appropriately, a coping mechanism) that she’s had to adopt due to her parent’s strict rules and her sibling’s off-and-on bullying. Her only solace and place she can express herself is through literature It’s telling that one of her favorite childhood books is Otabin.

Even still, Amity tries to help Willow in any way that doesn’t involve her directly standing up for her (‘encouraging’ her to improve, her abomination complementing her, and going before Willow’s presentation to avoid her getting more homework.

When Luz apologized to Amity at the Covention and saw her demonstrate her glyph magic, Amity was taken aback by the fact that someone like Luz was still trying to connect w/ her even as she kept trying to push her away like she did w/ Willow, and eventually, Luz broke through to her.

I imagine that it’s her perseverance that Amity admires about Luz, seeing Luz commit to her own dreams no matter how many challenges come up, no matter how many times others tell her its impossible. I’m sure Amity wishes she could be as strong as Luz, to be able stand up to her own situation and act for herself, choosing what she wants and not what others want for her. I imagine that’s also the reason why Amity loves Good Witch Azura.

While there’s certainly a lot more to talk about w/ Amity due to how elusive and defensive she can be, this is episode is about understanding Willow, so let’s talk about her.

Confirming what’s been suggested in previous episodes, Willow isn’t from an influential family of witches. Instead, she’s from an ordinary middle-class family w/ two dads that work for a living. Amity’s parents likely tolerated Amity’s friendship w/ her until they could determine Willow’s initial level of magical skill.

Both Amity and Willow attempt to bury their memories, but while Amity still privately regrets her treatment of Willow, Willow resents it. As seen in the first episode w/ the two of them. Inner Willow’s manifestation as a fire monster isn’t as surprising considering that Willow lost control of herself back then too.

While Amity walls herself off from her feelings, Willow lets hers boil over. I can’t fault Willow for that, given that constant bullying by Boscha and Skara bully that Amity let happen in front of her, but I also understand, given her family situation, why Amity never intervened either. Fortunately, it seems that Amity and Willow have learned to confront their own feelings and can find healthier ways of processing their experiences.

General thoughts:

I wish I had magic nail polish! Or magic makeup in general. It would be nice to cast a spell and have all that done for you.

So is Boscha going to become the main antagonist for future Hexside plots? I wonder how her relationship with Amity will change now that Amity is friends w/ Luz.

We got names for the full trio! Amity, Boscha, and Skara.

Is Skara younger than Amity and Boscha? She is shorter than them. Either way, it narrows down the characters’ age range.

Teachers are as useful for resolving fights in the Boiling Isles as they are in the human world.

Ayyo, Willow-focused episode?

Memory photos? First, that’s rad as hell. Second, I have a feeling that we’re going to see Amity and Willow’s backstory through them.

Skara manages to surprise Amity w/ her personal question, breaking Amity’s stoic facade that she keeps up to avoid “showing weakness.”

I change my mind. I no longer like memory photos.

Amity didn’t always have minty hair? Also, first look at Willow’s parents! And she’s got double dads!

What the hell happened b/w them?! How is Amity burning out Willow’s memory of her something she ‘has’ to do? Why does Amity still feel the need to apologize to her?

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO

Okay side note I guess, Gus found a new club, Hexside Free Press. Anyway, back to panicking! OH NO NO NO NO

Are we not getting a B plot either? We’re five minutes in and I haven’t seen the setup for one yet.

Thank GOD that Eda’s here.

So we’re getting a mind exploration episode?

Well played on Eda’s part guilting out who damaged Willow’s memories.

Oh! Gus’ interview is the B plot.

Amity looks so unsure taking Luz’s hand ;-;

We’re going to get a lot about Willow and Amity this episode. Already we know Amity spent the holidays at Willow’s, they went to Lake Lacuna (Hole Lake?) to get swimming lessons, and built a fort there together.

Man, Amity is just telling Luz everything about her past w/ Willow! I guess at this point, there isn’t anything to hide.

Willow played hooky? Wait, Willow was going to protect them w/ magic? I thought Amity stopped hanging out w/ Willow after she got her powers and Willow didn’t?

Maybe what Willow meant by their powers coming in is that Amity started getting good at magic while she didn’t.

Amity looks so offended at Luz’s “great bloomer” pun.

Is that photo from Willow’s birthday? That’d explain that scene w/ Skara handing out birthday party invitations at the start of the episode.

Fire monster!

Hooty’s the secret c:

Who will Gus interview, Eda the Owl Lady or the King of Demons?

Boscha was on the Roller Ghoster at the same time as Willow and Amity? I’m guessing they didn’t know each other then if Amity’s trying to keep her old friendship a secret.

Amity’s actually admitting that she messed up! OH SHE’S SMILING AND BLUSHING ;v;

Is Inner Willow the fire monster?

Gus is also a theater kid confirmed.

Amity’s getting really defensive after bringing up that memory again, especially considering how relaxed and open she’s been w/ Luz.

GDI Gus.

Luz is such a quick thinker!

HUG THEY’RE HUGGING SHE’S BLUSHING OMG ;v;

AMITY’S TOTALLY CRUSHING ON LUZ THAT’S WHY SHE WAS PACING AND TALKING TO HERSELF ABOUT HER

Willow’s scary.

OH NO IT’S AMITY’S BIRTHDAY PARTY THERE’S AN EC POSTER SHE KEPT WILLOW FROM GOING TO HER BIRTHDAY PARTY

AMITY’S PARENTS WTF

I KNEW IT AMITY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HER ‘FRIENDS’

SAME LUZ, SAME ;_;

HOOTY! IT’S ALL COMING UP HOOTY!

“Oh right, I put people in there.”

Unique Character Questions || Accepting

@lady-quen asked:

98 😊

98. List 10 reasons why you love spending time with this character.

🌙 Kumo is my weirdest muse. ☁️☁️☁️ He is weird by default as he's not human but I love him for that because he's so challenging. I can't walk into a single interaction from a human perspective. I have to ask myself constantly - what would Kumo hear, smell, feel, taste, experience. His body alone is so different from mine and I have to ask myself how would his body interact and feel the world around him with every single interaction. He's challenging and I adore him for that. It makes writing more fun for me.

🌙 Kumo is my most complicated muse. ☁️☁️☁️ On top of the above, the way Kumo presents himself and speaks is the complete opposite of how I present myself and talk. Some of the vocab he uses or the way he constructs a sentence just gets me sometimes because my brain goes Kumo where did that even come from? Kumo also has abilities I don't and never will. So the way handles a situation is so drastically different and I need to just let him flow and do things as a Misterican would - not a human. To do things as an immortal would not a mortal. The man is a living GOD and when writing him I can never ever forget that.

🌙 Kumo is one of my oldest muses. ☁️☁️☁️ I think most of you are well aware how long I have been deep into FFU's fandom, so Kumo has been with me for a very long time. 20 years this year! He's special. He's one of the first characters that in personality and design I really really clung to and he's stayed with me ever since. He's one of those characters I just look at and my heart melts and I'm back at Oh you beautiful beautiful boy.

🌙 Kumo is my kindest of all my muses. ☁️☁️☁️ And that's saying something. I have some that are in a very close second but Kumo takes the cake with that one. This man has gone through literal hell and back. Lost it all twice and died well over a hundred times and after everything, he still chose kindness because he refuses to let the world break him. At the end of everything when Kumo has a choice it is always always love and it always was love and always will be love. That part of him will never change.

🌙 Kumo is my strongest muse. ☁️☁️☁️ In terms of ability. He is a living God and I am not exaggerating that when I say that. While Kumo is a kind and peaceful man, if he is forced to resort to fighting he is a force to be reckoned with. In RPC terms, Kumo is absolutely over-powered and I will not write this aspect out of him. Kumo would be considered a Muse of Power in RPC terms and it is a part of him that will always stay. He canonically can control his sword telepathically and is immortal. Kumo can and has deflected an Ultima spell with a single hit. Kumo can and has fought on near death injuries. He can canonically cause explosions with his breath. Kumo is massively over powered and honestly, I love him for that.

🌙 Kumo is my most controlled muse. ☁️☁️☁️ In the terms of this massive power he possesses, he hardly uses it. He mainly acts in defense of himself and others. It's few and far between that Kumo will start a confrontation and go on the offensive straight out the gate. That's just not who he is as a person. He is canonically told at one point in the series "Use your sword, not your mouth." as a urge to get him to fight. He keeps his emotions and his powers in check at near all times and it takes a lot to get him to snap. If Kumo snaps on a person, it's best to take another look at the situation because I promise you there was an attributing reason as to why.

🌙 Kumo is just fun to talk to. ☁️☁️☁️ As I have previously stated, he is not human so that means he has a culture that is completely his own and it's so fun to go exploring with him. To learn and experience Misterica with him. It owns my entire brain. Kumo was in love with his people, his culture and his home and it shows in every word he speaks about it. No matter how he's feeling when he does - his adoration for his home is reflected in the way he speaks about it.

🌙 Kumo's love is infectious. ☁️☁️☁️ If this man could wield power based on his love alone, he could conquer the universe. Kumo is not one to love with any sort of motive attached. He loves because loving is what he feels he was made to do and he feels like it's the strongest and most effective way to reach another soul. Life is born of interaction and in those interactions we are shaped and made into the people we are. If something has to infect a soul then let it be his love. Let the people that interact with him know they are loved. Know they are cared for. Let the people who share their lives with him, know he holds them above all else. The Teachings of Tiamat state Life over All and Kumo takes it very seriously. If he could change the world with any object, he would choose his heart every single time.

🌙Kumo's perspective on things is one of my favorite things in the world. ☁️☁️☁️ Asking this man philosophical type questions gets some of the best answers ever to come out of his mouth and I love hearing him just start talking in my head to explain them to me. Ask him about the benefits of being Good or Bad and he will give you a ramble about what he thinks of both sides. Ask him about war and peace and he'll recite you poetry. Ask him about Light and Dark and he'll get really metaphorical and weave a tome for you. There are some things Kumo is excessively opinioned about and finding that one thing that sets him off into another philosophical ramble again - oh those are my absolute favorite. This man - this man is a poet in disguise.

🌙 The WAY Kumo conducts himself and speaks is so interesting to me. ☁️☁️☁️ The way he acts wiser than his years on some subjects and then in some places his physical age comes glaring forward. The way there is no middle ground when you look at all that's underneath the perfectly poised mask he wears near 24/7. Some people just set him off and others he has near no reaction to. The way he conducts himself so regally but at the same time at ground level as to not be above anyone around him. Kumo doesn't ever think himself someone's better despite his pedigree and I just I find it so interesting of him to be that way.

A Look At February 2023

February is a time where we are able to see how our experiences of the past have built up strength within us. This is a great time to reflect back on where you found success through previous challenges in life. Consider what those experiences taught you, and how they made you stronger. These are the same lessons and wisdom that you will want to draw on now. Our past has so much to teach us; and even though many things are best left in the past, they still can be a very valuable resource for us to draw on.

This is why it is so important to have peace with your past. It is when we do this that we shift it from being an issue, to being a resource for us. As we reflect on certain aspects, such as when we came through strife and trials, or simply the points where life was very challenging for us; then we are able to start to see what patterns we tend to have. This shows us often our ability to act and react. It shows what we tend to go to over and over again. As we understand these patterns and the common threads, we are now able to really see what has created the space that we are in. We begin to understand our behaviors, and how they influence the direction our life takes.

It is very important to understand these things; because as we do, then we can also see what aspects of our behaviors are serving us, and which ones we need to shift. It places us in a more objective viewpoint on our own life. When we are able to be objective about our own life, then we are also able to make wiser choices in our present situations. As we honor doing that, then we become the creator of our own life; and are playing an active role in how things work out for us.

This is why both in our own lives and in the world, we do not want to wipe out history; whether it is positive or negative. It helps us to understand what does and does not work. Even when the same experience is viewed differently by others, then it is valuable to have those different viewpoints; because it serves to show us greater layers and dimensions to the situation, and offers up a greater ability to see the truth and the different values that were present.

While objective viewpoints are needed to draw information from; it is also important to reflect on our feelings that we had in the moment, and as we came through things. They are often a large part of what shapes our experiences. In considering our emotions and feelings, we can also see how much we have shifted from the time those experiences have happened. What may have been unenjoyable in the past, might be very enjoyable now; and vice versa. No matter what our experiences have been, they provide us clarity and strong guidance to see what the best path forward will be for us; and to help us understand what a more favorable future is for us. If our past is wiped out, then it will only set us back to start from scratch; leading us to fall for the same mistakes we did before, or to be pulled into a life that is not based on truth or fact.

The more we use the wisdom of our past to decide how to move forward, the more likely we will be to see sudden and rapid advancement in things. This expansion of the light within us, and in the world, is powerful and strong at this time. However, there is always caution that must be used with these sudden advancements; because it creates fear and threatens the enemies of that light, and those that stand against God and Divine Presence being active in the world.

We can see everything from verbal attacks to assassinations at this time. With the connections to the past, we could even see exposure and truth surfacing in connection to assassinations of world leaders and prominent figures; which would include Abraham Lincoln, JFK, and JFK Jr. We are likely to see that there are common patterns between them, that have not been known before; and we are likely to see those same tactics being played out again, or being attempted to be set in motion. Assassination deaths can strongly show the corruption in our world, how things have progressed into current times, and the aspect that corruption has been in place and building for a very long time. The tactics are always the same, only the players change; and it does not attach itself to one party or group, but shifts and mutates in order to survive. This is a time where there could be more assassination attempts happening; which will lead to the military getting involved.

It is likely the aspects of the military, the navy, and other leaders in our world will be activated; not only for protection, but as a means to show the truth of our past. We are in times that we must be willing to look at these things; if we are going to create a solid and favorable future in our world. It is through our choices now, that we are able to make great advancements in our undertakings personally and professionally; and it is important that we do not repeat the paths that have created downfalls for us in the past. We must draw on the strength created from past experiences to protect us from those that want to assassinate us; and we cannot underestimate the dangerous space that we are residing in.

That being said, it is important that we remain focused on our advancements; and do not allow the literal or proverbial assassins to distract us from that. It is important that we do not allow God’s Light or Divine Presence to be extinguished from within us and within our world. In codes, assassination is to use lies, deception, and manipulation to block wisdom/truth/information from reaching individuals; who are in positions of authority, strongly in the public, and individuals. It is designed to block progression, and bring everything to a halt in a way that places people in a position of deprivation and to need help from the corrupt; leading people to believe lies, support corruption, and to be unable to think clearly for themselves. Its purpose is to halt the victories and successes that are in motion; and to prevent forward movement which gives strength to Divine Presence, God, and the Soul Self and allows it to prosper in ways that allow those within its energy to supply their own needs and to be self-sufficient.

The key with this, is to realize that we are always protected when standing in Divine Light; for that becomes our shield. This is the month of God’s Warriors, and it is likely that they will be quite active in our world; since they are in a favored position during this time. We may very well gain greater clarity on who God’s Warriors are, and who the true assassins are. Assassins are always in things for their own personal gain and glory. They often have psychopathic qualities; and have been unable to find success in their own life due to a lack of or false alignment with God, Divine Presence, and the Soul Self.

I welcome you to see how past experiences have built strength within you. What if every experience that you have is providing opportunities to learn how to be stronger?

I welcome you to see how history helps you to see what does and does not work. What if understanding history, helps you to make wiser choices in the present?

I welcome you to see the common patterns in things. What if this helps you to see where cycles repeat themselves; and to understand the path that things are taking?

I welcome you to remain focused on your advancements. What if you only need to choose what allows God’s Light or Divine Presence to be active and alive to make your advancements?

From February 1st through February 18th, is a time that calls us to be very careful with how we are using our power and influence in the world. It is this use of power that is very likely to activate the strong forward movement for God’s Warriors; and hard falls for those working against them. While we always have our opinions of who we want to be on which side, it is important that we stand with objective eyes and see what is happening to who and remain free from judgment. This is part of how the truth unfolds in the world and our own lives.

There is a great amount of humanitarian and Divine Abundance energy that is present right now. So, those that are truly working for humanity are likely to thrive; and we will see their efforts paying off during this time. Success is a wonderful thing, and we should embrace it and celebrate it; especially when it is the result of strong, persistent efforts that are rooted in the Soul Self. When this happens, our hearts tend to open a bit further, and we are able to have plenty to share with others. Each time that we are willing to share with others, we are also securing our own well-being for more abundance to flow our way.

During this time, it is important to get out and enjoy life a little if at all possible. It is important to engage your creative energy; and will favor artists, musicians, chefs, writers, and speakers. This can be a great time to share your work with others, and to just enjoy something for the fun of it; instead of being analytical about it. Do use some caution with others, so that you are not getting taken advantage of. It is important to stay away from impulsiveness, and deciding on things or purchasing things in the moment. Even giving it an hour or two while you step away, can help you to see if it is something that you really want. Anything, that is bringing up urgency energy, or says you have to take an offer which won’t be available if you walk away; is not in integrity, something that you won’t be happy with, a lie, and nothing more than a sales pitch to manipulate you into something that you probably don’t even really want.

Power battles are likely to surface between those that are in charge. Those in positions of power that are working corruptly or misusing their power are likely to lose ground, have scandals exposed, or even be removed from power. Those that are in authority and power positions that are using their power wisely, will be standing behind the people and those that they have authority over, and those people will be behind them. You see in the latter, it is a two-way street; and in the first there is no true support from either side, and what support there is will be one-way only.

This is a time where we as individuals and a human race will want to focus on strengthening our skills, learning new things, and embracing the process of what we are experiencing. It is not just about getting through something, or creating a specific result. It is about learning to work with each other, and to help each other out. It is not about a couple of people doing the work, while others get the credit.

I welcome you to be very careful with how you are using your power and influence in the world. What if you stand with objective eyes, see what is happening, remain free from judgment; and then take action to support only what is completely clear, and is working in favor of God and Divine Presence?

I welcome you to get out and enjoy life if possible. What if sometimes it is important to simply have some fun; without analyzing your performance or what you are experiencing?

I welcome you to look and see who in positions of authority are truly standing behind the people; and truly have the people behind them. What if this helps you to see who is actually in their position to serve others; and who is only serving themselves?

From February 19th through the end of the month, is when we are likely to see the monthly assassination energy get activated. It is during this time that stress and anxiety surfaces; and that always leads those that are standing in corruption to start exposing themselves. There is a literal “good vs. evil” dynamic in motion; and this shows us that those who are standing in Divine Alignment, truth, and integrity are likely to be able to breakthrough what has held them back. This of course, often leads those that are working against God and God’s Warriors to strike out. However, only those that are in Divine Alignment will be the ones experiencing true successes and victories.

Lies, deception, and manipulation will be heavily activated; and that can make it confusing to tell who is on which side at times. We will find out who truly has the strength to stand in truth and integrity; regardless of the adversity, slandering, and other tactics that are thrown at them. Just remember that anything that is truly favorable, will not need to convince you that it is the favorable option. Those that stand in the truth, do not have to convince you that it is the truth; but those that are telling lies always have to try to convince you that what they say is the truth, because they know you would never take what they were selling if they did tell the truth.

During this time, people are seeking to find more peaceful paths. It is a time that may require some faith and unconditional love with each other. It is important that we do not allow those working in lies and deception to separate or divide us. Whether you know what is or is not true; kindness is always a path that will serve you well. How people choose to act during this time, is what they are going to be remembered for. It is important that we stay focused on using unconditional love to create future blessings in our own life and in the world.

A little bit of wisdom can go a long way. Much of what we see playing out in the world, is the past repeating itself. We must decide what we are or are not willing to repeat. We must be willing to learn and understand what will and will not move us in a favorable direction. It is likely, that we have learned a lot from where these same patterns have played out in the past; and now it is time to implement that knowledge and put it into action from our wiser selves.

I welcome you to stand in Divine Alignment, no matter how stressful things get. What if this is the key to breaking through what has held you back?

I welcome you to understand why that which is truth, does not need to convince you that it is true; and will not force you into what it has to offer. What if those telling lies know that you would never accept what they were selling, if you knew the truth?

I welcome you to stand in faith and unconditional love with others. What if kindness is always a path that will serve you well?

I welcome you to understand how the past is repeating itself. What if you implement the knowledge of the past from your wiser self?

In summary, know how your past experiences have made you stronger. Know which behaviors are serving you and which ones you need to shift. Realize the importance and value of history in your life and in our world. Understand how implementing the wisdom of past experiences can create sudden and rapid advancements; as well as create a favorable and solid future. Understand how rapid advancement is a natural result of expanding the light within us and within our world. Stay away from impulsiveness, and acting from a feeling of urgency. Focus on strengthening your skills, learning new things, and embracing the experiences you are having.

Keep standing in Divine Alignment, truth, and integrity to breakthrough what has been holding you back. Consider how sharing what you are abundant in, allows more abundance to keep flowing in. Take time for pure fun, and to do things without analyzing how well you are doing it. Learn to work with others; and don’t buy into things that create separation and division.

What To Focus Our Actions On

This month we will do best to stand strong in what we are needing to do for ourselves. Responsibilities and obligations come into play; and it is likely that others will try to use this, in order to manipulate us in some way. This can be a great time to get some big projects done, but it is likely that you will be doing them on your own. This is not always a bad thing; because sometimes the input or “help” of others can be more of a distraction than actual help.

It is important that you are using caution with others. They may make you feel bad for not taking their suggestions. However, the advice that they are giving may be in their interest but not yours; and in reality, it is probably not even something that they actually care about, but is just a way to manipulate you and cause you stress. They may also want you to do things that you are not really budgeted for. This is one place that you really have to stand your ground; because spending money and using resources that you don’t already have in the bank or in your hands, will cause more detriment than benefit.

Family is the most likely source of where you will find people pulling the responsibility and obligation card. This will most likely come from those that are self-absorbed, and already doing quite well. Yet they still seem to carry a concept that you need to help them and provide for them. It is important that you weigh things out. It is important that you are not allowing others to make you feel guilty or obligated to do things that they can do themselves. It is one thing to lend the helping hand once in a while, and quite another to be taken advantage of unnecessarily. This is nothing more than a power play from someone that is lacking self-worth; and who wants to be treated like royalty.

It is important that you honor taking some time out, and enjoy your own successes and the things that are coming through from your own efforts. Allow yourself some healthy treats, or a wonderful sensory experience of some sort such as body care treatments or a decadent but healthy dinner. Perhaps even share your success with a friend that could also use a little decadence, but can’t afford it. If money is really tight, then consider something like a walk through a botanical garden or on the beach. There are always plenty of options; but it is important to enjoy yourself a little, after the work is done.

I welcome you to stand strong in what you need to do for yourself. What if the things that need to get done, are just as important as what others want done?

I welcome you to only take advice if it is something that you want to do, and feel good about. What if others don’t even care about what they are suggesting to you; but are only seeing if you will do what they say?

I welcome you to weigh out the requests of others. What if there is a fine line between helping someone, and being taken advantage of?

I welcome you to take time to enjoy your own successes. What if you invited someone to share in your successes with you; that can’t afford to treat themselves to something? What if that nourishes additional success for both of you?

What To Focus Our Thoughts On

From February 1st through February 11th, we will need to pay attention to how we are using our power in the world. This always comes back to the basics of standing in truth, integrity, compassion, etc. It is important to operate responsibly with any good fortune that comes through. That means pay off debts and bills first, don’t get extravagant in your splurges, take care of what needs to get done such as repairs or other things that are practical things and support you in being responsible. In other words, really think about what you are doing, and what you spend your good fortune on.

Successes that come through may trigger greed and jealousy in others. It can be hard to accept that those that should be happy for you aren’t; and that they want to diminish the blessings you are getting, by narcissistically trying to make you believe that they are deprived, and never have good things happen to them. They are ready to spend your money for you; even though they have plenty of their own, and may even be better off than you are. You will want to keep your wits about you, and don’t let them manipulate you out of what you have worked hard to get.

It is also important that we reign in our rebellion energy. The greed and selfishness of others can be a particular trigger for us at this time. Don’t fall prey to the mind games that are designed to make you feel bad and react in ways that can be used against you and make you look bad. Whether you want to or not, you may need to stand up for what is right; but make certain you take the time to pull yourself together before you do. The key is to transform that anger, reaction, and provocation in a way that allows you to move forward and breakthrough things; instead of letting it become a rage that can bring danger to yourself and others. Feelings and thoughts must be dealt with favorably; otherwise, they can lead to unfavorable accidents.

I welcome you to be responsible with any good fortune that comes through. What if you used your good fortune to set yourself up; and alleviate debt or handle things that need to be taken care of?

I welcome you to accept that some people can never genuinely be happy for you; as they are too self-absorbed in their false thoughts that they are the deprived one. What if you kept your mind clear; and didn’t allow them to diminish the joy of your successes, and take what you have worked hard to get?

I welcome you to get a handle on any rebellion energy that surfaces for you. What if this is a sign of where people are playing mind games with you; and you will need to pull yourself together before dealing with them?

From February 12th through the end of the month, our mind is likely to continue being focused on what needs to get done. If we are willing to stay focused, then we will be able to get through things with greater ease and have them flow well. This is a time where we want to continue to also pay attention to any feelings of rebellion. If we can use them to speak up for what is right through facts, and not to be in battle with others; then we will be able to create major transformation out of things that are designed to destroy us.

Power battles are likely; but they will be a battle of wits and mind games. Think chess moves. It is really a major mental game, that is all about figuring out how your opponent is thinking. For some, it doesn’t matter if they win or lose; as long as they learn more about the strategies that their opponent prefers to use. However, keep in mind that those that are working in integrity are not working against their opponent, or even trying to outwit them. Instead, they prefer to teach others how to resist being controlled and dominated; so, they work with others, instead of against them. Those aligned with corruption seek to beat out and dominate their opponent; which always ends up backfiring on them.

During this time, we have the opportunity to learn a lot; and that especially includes how to create our own successes. This is a great time to exchange information, and to learn from each other’s experiences. It is important to share the information that we have with others, and to also take heed of the experiences and wisdom that they have. Those that are offering true help and wisdom, will want you to find your own style; and use them as inspiration. Those that are not offering true help, will look to control how you move forward; and insist that you do things their way.

It is also important, that we take the time to give ourselves some mental breaks. Our mind can feel a bit tapped out every now and then; so, give it opportunities to be creative, instead of being overly analytical. Give it a chance to implement its knowledge in a way that is fun and expressive. Focus on doing something that allows you to express how you are feeling or who you are; instead of critiquing what you are doing.

I welcome you to speak up for what is right, and not in battle. What if doing this allows you to transform what is designed to destroy you, into a beneficial opportunity?

I welcome you to not work against your opponents, but to teach others how to resist being controlled by them. What if it is not just about beating someone or winning; but about understanding how they function?

I welcome you to learn ways to create your own successes. What if you use the experiences of others to inspire you; and then honor your own path in doing things?

I welcome you to let your mind have time being creative, and not be focused on only being analytical. What if this allows you to implement knowledge in a fun and expressive way?

Connecting To Your Soul Self

From February 1st through February 20th, we are favored for operating through the Soul Self. In this aspect, we are called to take the time to tune more into being of service in the world. This is a time to consider what we are putting our energy into, and if it is in Divine Alignment. Some may refer to this as being in their passion, life’s purpose, or mission. These are the things where we are not concerned about whether we are paid or not for them; and simply do them because they are rooted in kindness and compassion, and in some way benefit the world and others. If you are feeling stagnant in your life, then you may find that you are doing things that are only for the sake of money or personal gain; or that are not in Divine Alignment. You will need to consider making shifts in those areas.

There is a strong urge to be free and to be in exploration. The Soul Self is surfacing to remind us that we are not meant to be restricted, and constantly task oriented in monotonous routines. Use this time to shake up routines, do things differently, and to take a different route when going somewhere. This is a time to be a bit more adventurous, and to do things without planning them first. At the same time, we will do best to keep things somewhat simple, and find the profoundness in everyday things. Sometimes, it is about unfolding deeper layers to what is already in your own sphere; so that you can appreciate it and experience it more.

During this time, successes are likely to happen where we are working in integrity. Any recognition that we receive for doing this, may also trigger jealousy or a competitive nature in those that are insecure about their own skills and abilities. It is important to stay out of competitions, and to help those people embrace their own greatness; instead of trying to impress everyone. It is their very desire to be better than others, and need to prove their own worth, that keeps them from moving forward.

There is a natural flow of abundance right now. This is a great time to donate to charities, or give to those that are less fortunate; and to embrace those things that you can do to nourish humanity, animals, and Earth itself. Consider what you no longer need, and then give it away. If you have had some successes flowing in, then share that by buying someone a meal, or in some way helping them to get their feet back on the ground. Remember, not everyone is in need of money. Some simply need emotional support, a little time or helping hand, or a safe place to rest for a couple of days so that they can restore themselves. There are so many ways that we can share our successes; and when several people pitch in, then everyone can be taken care of with ease.

I welcome you to look at what you are putting your energy into, and honestly see if it is in Divine Alignment. What if nothing can move forward unless it is being done from a space of service and purity?

I welcome you to shake up your routines, and do things differently. What if this can also help to clear away stagnant energy, and revitalizes you or helps you to appreciate what you already have? What if this helps you to notice things that have gotten lost in the monotony of routines?

I welcome you to help others embrace their own greatness; instead of trying to impress everyone. What if their desire to be better than others, and prove their own worth, is actually keeping them from moving forward?

I welcome you to find ways to nourish humanity, animals, and the Earth. What if there are a variety of ways to do this, and some do not even cost anything?

From February 21st through the end of the month, relationships and partnerships will be where we are finding our soul nourishment. Take time to appreciate those that are truly supporting you in love, and who are doing what they can to support your successes. These are the people that help hold you in your light; and are able to love you on both good days and challenging ones. They are the ones that reflect your beauty and light, and rejoice in seeing you create a fortunate future.

This is a time of new relationships as well. True love is an energy that is certainly present right now; and those that enter our life have the potential to last a lifetime. These are the people that can love us unconditionally. It is during this time that marriages are particularly favored. Those that love us unconditionally not only have an open heart; but are also likely to be practical and responsible, and that provides true stability and staying power.

Love or relationships that are highlighted at this time, could even come in the form of a past love resurfacing. This can trigger a whole range of emotions; and you will have to find out how true they really are about being in your life. Have they returned because they think they can still manipulate you; or have they returned because they have learned from the past, and want another chance to prove that they truly love you and always have? It may take some time to see where they are really at; and if you are coming from a space of unconditional love, then you will know if they have any place in your life or not.

This will also be a good time to try and bring peace to family relationships; and to close out dissention with others as much as possible. You may never stop others from trying to manipulate you, take advantage of you, or be greedy. That is something they have to do for themselves. However, if you can find ways to love them unconditionally without being taken advantage of; then it is quite likely that you can create some bridges between your differences, and find ways to at least get along instead of being in battle.

I welcome you to take the time to appreciate those that are truly supporting you in love. What if these are the people that are helping you to stand in your light?

I welcome you to embrace new relationships that come into your life. What these people have the ability to love unconditionally, as well as being stable and lasting?

I welcome you to take time deciding whether to let someone from your past be back in your life again. What if time allows you to see where they are really coming from; and whether they have a place in your life or not?

I welcome you to focus on closing out dissention with others. What if this can help build bridges between your differences, even if you can’t change them?

Moaning Pages

I did take her to the dog show in the afternoon, but although she loved all the people there there were a lot of dogs and it was challenging for her. And for me, somehow. It was sunny and friendly but I was too hot having dressed for the chill of the morning which had long passed. When Lola was snarly with a friendly dog and then wanted to walk away from the throng I didn’t take much persuasion. The other thing is my foot is really sore, so I made sure to book a RoodDogs walk for this morning, and now I’m back in bed with tea having sent Lola off to have a roaring time with her pack. She’s fine with other dogs in that context - no me, no standing around, just pack, and all in the same direction.

It’s been raining in the night and the view of the sky outside is soft and damp. My bedroom faces out over the basement’s yard which is just flagstones and a drain, and nearly all of the water for the building is conducted out into this amplifier, so ablutions and rain can be very loud and actually awful. If I had double glazing it’d be better, but I don’t. Still, now it sounds like the fight has gone out of it - the water noises are a trickle. A lot of the concrete round here is painted, but my view is mostly very old cement - the back of a building, the mews behind here, and the high walls. It’s a warm grey with lots of pink in it, and wet it’s a sort of burnt umber. The scene is dominated by the tree that’s for the chop. I don’t know what it’ll be like without it, but it’s too late to change my mind, if it was ever really my decision. Before you plant a tree have a look at what it’s near and consider how big it’s going to get. The poplars in the park are massive.

I can hear Bert downstairs talking on the phone. God, his voice is loud. Still, it could be worse. He’s deaf so his sonic landscape is always loud. He gets up very early and puts his radio on. Luckily for me it’s not pop music or whatever might be worse than that, but although I can’t hear specific words I recognise the cadence of Radio 4. If I ever listen to radio myself, which I only do very briefly now, having been an all day listener in the past, it’s my default channel. Sometimes I listen online to German stations on Radio Garden, but mostly live radio is for tidying the kitchen, and R4 will do. Hearing it this way, without content, is actually better.

I’ve been PMing with Justin and he says he’s re-read Kristeva recently. I don’t read much with my eyes. Despite the migraine being well managed, and despite my eye operations and despite the tint on my glasses making things less harsh I still rarely read with my eyes. Knowing that nothing like this ever makes it to audiobook I search out the next best thing and pull up a ton of YouTube talks by her. That’ll do me for now, and takes the sting out of my envy.

Years ago I used to do something I got from the Artists Way - the practice of what she called Morning Pages. This was years before I got into Buddhism and I wasn’t in a group or anything, and although I wrote them regularly nothing good came from doing it. I used to call it the Moaning Pages, and that is what they were. Instead of writing from the present like I do now, or even having any idea of writing as a creative practice I just complained about my life like a teenager. I was in my 30s. I used to go to Paperchase and get cloth bound inch thick books to write in, and by the end I had several. At one point I threw them all in the bin, though. They were useless to me. They weren’t even what a tutor on my writing course called ‘throat clearing’. They provided nothing transformative, just a space to complain but without the useful questions a therapist might provide.

Tomorrow is a gym day and I’m already wondering where I’ll write. If it’s like this I might go to Rockwater again. Now that I know if I go early enough on a weekday it’s quiet in there and the dog settles easily and they’re friendly I reckon I can cope with the shocking state of the piped music. In a way the music makes it more like a corporate hotel than an achingly hip hang out. I expect they have better music later on.

When I was at Goldsmiths’, years ago, no idea what it’s like now, the canteen there was like a service station. It seemed appropriate in a way, because as students we were all on our different journeys. Rockwater is nothing like that of course, but somehow, going there in the morning when perhaps not properly awake really is like being in a hotel, when you have to go to breakfast at the time when they say so or you’ll miss it, so you throw clothes on and go down to eat and are thrown into being with other people when you wouldn’t normally be. Because I get up so early in the morning I often have that out of hours feeling. For years I mainly had what historians call ‘split sleep’ which was popular before industrialisation in this country. People would have their first sleep then in the night they’d wake up and either have sex, pray, or even visit neighbours. I might wake up and go online and find other insomniacs were around and maybe message with, for instance, a fashion designer I know who would be awake and in his studio setting up in the dark.

I learned recently that people also used to think that lying down to sleep was unhealthy and that they not only often shared beds with their families and maybe strangers when travelling but also used to sit to sleep. This makes better sense of the strangely short beds you see in stately homes.

I sometimes think I would like to change to single beds in here - like, have two instead of one big one. I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t work with a Staffie in the house, though. They like to be touching you ideally, and under the covers. At night time Lola gets out of bed when she’s too hot then wakes me up to let her back under the covers. I’m like her butler.

Life is very complicated. Life has its way of dealing with people. It’s funny to think how life can change for you in an instant. Showing up out of nowhere with unexpected events, drastic changes, you name it. Life is very complicated.

You’ll never know what direction life would take you in. It would be best if you knew what direction your life was headed, but sometimes it was also best to just let life lead you to wherever it wanted to lead you.

Some would say that it would be best if you took control of your life. They said that it was the safest option. Buy you, you believe in the flow of life. Life has never taken it easy on you, and even when you fight harem you still let go and let the flow of life take you wherever it wants you to be. And because of this, life took you into the midst of a few challenges and that challenge was your marriage.

After a few months of suffering from your husband of a year and a half, you were stuck with making a decision. What were you going to do, are you going to divorce the man that you love? What will happen after you divorce him? Will you be alright without him? How were you going to survive on your own without him? But if you renounce your vows with him, would he still be cheating on you? Would he turn a built eye towards your feelings? Was he going to keep seeing that bitch Utahime? There was so much to think about.

Deciding this is not easy. You wonder what on God’s earth were you going to do. It is not easy to choose because you are madly in love with this man, he is your everything, but at the same time, you have to consider your happiness and the happiness of your son.

This was hard for you, but after a month of thinking through the options that were presented before you. You were finally able to make the most rational decision.

…

“This is what you want to do, huh?” He asked as he sat with you on the sofa.

“Yes, this is what I want to do,” you said to him as you rested the paper in his lap. You watched as he picked up the paper from his lap before reaching for a pen that was in the pocket of his jacket.

“Are you sure Y/N? Is this what you want to do?” he asked as he rested the paper on the coffee table then he looked at you. “Don’t you want to think about it just a little bit more?”

You shook your head no. “I’ve thought about it for a long time now. It’s been a month, right?” you asked and he shook his head yes. “I’ve made up my mind. I want to get this divorce.”

“Ok,” he whispered. He swallowed his cry as he signed his signature on the paper. After he signed his signature, he read through the paper one last time then he gave it back to you. “Here.”

“Thank you,” you said as you took the paper from him and placed it inside the folder. You turned to look at him and he gave you a sad smile.

“Your welcome,” he answered, then he stood up from the sofa. “Is there anything else that we need to talk about?” he asked without looking at you.

“Not really,” you answered as you stood up as well. “We’ll finalize everything else with our lawyers.”

“What do you want for me?” he asked. You looked at him confused and he only sighed. “I said that I’ll give you anything that you want, didn't I?”

Oh yeah, he did say that.

“So what do you want? The apartment is already yours, I bought it in your name. But I'm sure that you probably won’t stay here. Do you want a share of any of the companies that I own? I have no problem with that. I’ll give you anything that you want, you just have to name it or them.”

You sighed softly before answering. “I don’t think I’ll be needing anything Satoru, I’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure?” he asked as he ran his fingers through his hair. “Where will you stay?”

“I’ll stay with Toniann until I find a job and another apartment,” you answered before resting a hand on your six-month-old tummy.

He snapped his eyes shut yet again. “You don’t need to worry about finding a job Y/N. I can sort that out for you. It’s the least I can do.” You wanted to tell him that he didn’t need to trouble himself with that, but then again your soon-to-be ex-husband knew a lot of people so might as well leave that up to him.

“Uhm, thank you I guess,” you whispered. He hummed as he reached inside the pocket of his jacket and pulled out his wallet. You watched as he pulled a black card from his wallet and then he stretched his hand out to you. “What? You don’t need to give this to me, I’ll be fine.”

“Y/N, please. I know, I know that you’ll be fine, but please just take it. You don’t need to keep it for long, you can break it, or throw it away whenever you start to make your own money,” he said to you.

You sighed as you stared at the card in his hand. It looked fairly new and when you looked at it you saw your name on it. It looked like he recently just got this card for you.

“Just take it Y/N, and do whatever you want with my money, I don’t have any use for it anymore. You can drain me dry if you want. I don’t care,” he said as he reached for your hand and placed the card in it. “Do anything, buy anything that you want with it. But please, I’m begging you, just take it.”

You sighed as you stared at the card in your hand. “Ok,” you whispered in a small voice. “Is there anything that you want from me?”

You watched as he turned his head away from you before whispering, “I want for you to keep my last name. It’s yours now. You don’t need to use it often, but at least keep a part of me with you.”

“Satoru… I.”

“I know that I am not in the position to ask you for anything, but please this is all that I’m asking of you,” he begged.

You sighed yet again. “Ok. Is that all that you ask of me?”

“I want to be at our son’s birth and I want to be at the doctor's visits too,” he said to you.

“I would never stop from being at your son’s birth and my doctor's visits as well. It’s your baby too,” you said to him and he shook his head ok.

“Well then, I want to ask for this last thing,” he said before turning to look at you. You watched as he slowly made his way towards you and then he rested his hand on your cheek. “On our court day, can I… can I be with you for one last night?”

“Huh?”

“I want to hold you one last time, I want us to be together for one more night,” you said. You closed your eyes and turned your head away from him. You understand what he meant when he said that he wanted to be with you for one more night. He wanted to have sex with you, one last time before you walked out of his life completely.

Well, not completely since you were the mother of his child. You wanted to tell him, no, you wanted to. And as much as the thought of sleeping with him after he fucked so many women, sickens you. You have to remember that you love this man. He was your everything.

So even if you wanted to tell him no, you already knew that you weren’t going to. So with one last heavy breath, you opened your eyes and whispered a soft, “Ok.”

Time flew by very quickly since then. And during that passing time, you had managed to pack most of the stuff that you owned. You also rented an apartment, which was better than staying with a friend even though you could use her company. And in no time you were already moving your stuff inside the apartment. It wasn’t as large as the one you lived in before, but it was decent enough for you still.

Gojo had also moved out of the apartment and now he was living at his family estate until he decided what he wanted to do. And as you both settled into your new lives, the day to finalize the divorce has arrived.

There wasn’t much to discuss inside the large conference room since you and Gojo had already had this conversation. So it went a lot quicker than you both anticipated. After all the papers had been signed, you were both informed that the divorce would be official the next day.

That was all he wanted to hear before he gently took your hand in his and walked outside the building with you. And as you both descended the long steps, you both, well Gojo had an unexpected visitor waiting for him.

“So, how was the divorce are you officially single now,” she asked as she watched the both of you walk down the steps together. You stared at her confused as she watched you squeeze Gojo’s hand tightly before pulling away. “Aren’t you divorced?”

“Why does it matter to you?” he asked.

She smiled sweetly at him before climbing up the stairs a bit more towards him. “Well now we can finally be together without having to worry about her,” she said as she pointed at you. “I don’t know why you didn’t divorce her a long time ago and be with someone better.” And then she gave you a nasty look before smiling sweetly after Gojo.

As the woman reached to touch him, he was quick to slap her hand away from him. “I told you to stay away from me.”

“But I thought you wanted me and not her,” she cried as she tried to touch him again, but he hissed his teeth before replying.

“You were a mistake. I never wanted you. My relationship with being you is the reason why she divorced me,” he said as he glared at the woman.

“A mistake… but you didn’t fuck me like I was a mistake though,” she hissed at him. “Don’t start blaming me for wrecking your marriage. I’m not a homewrecker.”

“But you are a homewrecker. You slept with another woman’s husband,” you whispered under your breath before resting your hand on your tummy.

She scoffed as she gave you a disgusting look, “He wasn’t yours if he kept coming back to me…” she fired at you.

You chuckled. “You are so pathetic you know that. Anyways I won’t argue with you over my ex-husband. You can have him. You seem desperate for him so you can have him Utahime,” and with that said you walked away leaving them both standing there and staring at you in disbelief.

“I am so fucking ashamed of myself,” you heard Gojo speak as you went to open his car door. “I should never have cheated on my baby’s mother with a woman like you Utahime.” She watched him in shock as he walked past her and made his way towards you. “For the last time Utahime, stay away from me and stay away from her. Approach us again and you’ll be served with a restraining order.”

A part of you wanted to laugh when you saw her stare at him in disbelief. She deserved this. “Fuck you Gojo Satoru,” she screamed as she watched him enter the car with you. Inside the car, you watched as he scratched the back of his head then he sighed.

“I’m sorry Y/N, I am,” he said to you. You hummed in response before turning to look at the window. “We still have a bit more time before night falls. Do you maybe wanna get something to eat with me and maybe talk about the plans that we have for our son?”

You smiled at the mention of the growing child inside you. “Yeah. That would be nice.”

And just like that, you both found yourself eating a delicious bowl of ramen along with chicken wings and fries, inside a nice cozy restaurant on the streets of Tokyo. While you ate, you and Gojo started to talk about the baby. You both discussed simple things like the nursery and baby names.

And also somewhere along the line when he asked you about the child’s place of birth and you told him that you wanted to go to the hospital. He suggested that you do a water birth at his family estate instead of normal birth.

You told him that you’ll think about it and he said ok. After the meal, he took you back to the estate and he led you towards his chambers. It had been a while since you last laid your eyes on the beautiful compound. But that night was the last night you were probably going to see that place for.

Inside his chambers, he suggested that you both took a bath together before moving on to what you were there for. And let's just say that you did more than just took a bath together.

He gazed up at you with adoring eyes as he watched your beautiful eyes roll to the back of your head as you slightly parted your lips to release another breathless moan. Your fingers called at his chest as you steadily try to rock your hips against his.

He rested one hand on your tummy while he used the other one to guide you up and down on his length. God he was going to miss you, he was going to miss you so fucking much. “Satoru… I’m close,” you moaned out before slightly leaning forward to rest your head on his.

He groaned loudly as he took his eyes off you for a moment and watched as the water splashed around inside the tub some even spilling on the outside and out to the concrete floor. “Mhm… let it go, baby. Cum for me and let’s take this inside the room,” he whispered before turning to kiss your lips. He helped you move a bit faster on him and the next thing you knew that you were coming all other his cock. “Bedroom now,” he whispered against your lips before pulling away and allowing you to get off him and out of the tub before you make your way towards the bedroom. He followed closely behind you and then he made his way towards the bed. You watched as he set a few pillows on the bed before taking your hand. He gently laid you down on the bed, “Are you comfortable?” he asked as he rested a pillow under your hips.

“I am,” you whispered as you opened your legs for him as he kneeled before you. He smiled at you as he leaned forwards while stroking his cock then he pressed the tip of his cock at your entrance. He gazed up at you as he began to push in.

“I love you, so much,” he whispered once he was fully seated inside of you. He began to gently rock his hips to push his length inside of you and he watched as your breast bounced slightly with every thrust of his hips. Such a shame he won’t get to suck milk from your breast whenever you give birth to his child. God he was truly going to miss having you in his arms like this. He is going to miss all these faces that you made just for him.

He was going to miss you being his loving and beautiful wife. But now is not the time for him to think about how lonely his days would be without you. He had you here with him right now, so he might as well make the most of the time he had left with you.

…

After a night filled with loving making and his tears, he was finally pulling up to your new apartment. “So this is goodbye?” he asked as he watched as you grabbed your purse from the back seat of his car.

“For our relationship, yes, but we’ll be in touch about our child,” you answered. You gave him a small smile as you reached to open the door. But before you were able to you felt his hand grab onto your quickly and he brought it to his lips.

“I’m not giving up on you Y/N. I’ll let you go for now and go work on myself. I promise I’ll change. I am going to change for us, for our family. I don’t care how long it’ll take for me to grow into a better man. I’ll do it. I’ll grow into a man that is worthy of your love again. I promise you that Y/N,” he mumbled as he kissed your lips one last time before pulling away. “I love you. I’ll see you on the day of your doctor's appointment.”

You only hummed before you got out of the car. He watched as you walked towards the apartment, without sparing him another glance. It was sad to see you walk out of his life like this, it was painful to know that you weren’t his anymore.

But he had no one else to blame but himself for this. He lost you because of his stupid choices.

…

Who would have thought that you would have ended up divorcing the man you love. Life does have a way of turning up with unexpected events.

Anyways…

Life was starting to look up to you. You were doing surprisingly well with your health. You were no longer drinking, and you were having a healthy pregnancy. You started smiling again and the muscles in your face no longer hurt.

But even though you were doing perfectly fine on your own and you had a healthy pregnancy. As the due date for your son to be born grew closer you were having difficulties doing certain things on your own.

Because of this, you had to move into Gojo's estate temporarily just so that Gojo could help you get around whenever you needed his help. It wasn’t the best decision, but who’s better to help you throughout the rest of your pregnancy? The father of your child of course. While you stayed with Gojo at the estate, he made sure that you had your room. He made sure that you had whatever it was that you were craving, even if he thinks that it was the most disgusting combination ever.

Who the fuck eats sardines and strawberry ice cream with avocado.

Ugh… anyways, speaking of Gojo. His life wasn’t the best, but things were looking up for him as well. He was more successful than he has ever been with his business. In the few short months after the divorce took place. He buried himself with work to distract himself from the loneliness he felt in the night when he realized that you were no longer in his bed.

It was painful to know that he was the reason behind his loneliness, however, this loneliness gave him time to make some small changes with himself. He had a few priorities, and his number one priority was to be a good father to his son. He was working extremely hard to change himself to become a role model for his unborn child.

He even took it upon himself to visit a therapist and confess all the wrongs that he had done in his young life. Going to a therapist was the best decision that he has ever made. He was able to express how he felt about you, his son, himself, and even the divorce.

In a section with the therapist, he remembered when they asked him how he felt about the divorce and his response was, “I am not happy if I’m being honest with you. My ex-wife is the only one for me. I love her and I don’t want to be with anyone else. But anyway like I said I’m not happy about it, but I’m alright. I’m alright because I know she is happy and she deserves to be happy. I enjoy watching her smile freely whenever we’re at the doctor’s office together. The tone in her voice sounds so much more beautiful. She’s even more beautiful now and that pregnancy glow is doing so much for her. So like I said, I’m not happy, but I’m alright.”

And indeed he was alright. For now, he just had to let you be happy. You deserve that much and more. However, that doesn’t mean that he was going to give up on you. But he’ll wait. He has to become better first.

Anyways during your stay at the estate, Gojo had finally convinced you to do a water birth and surprisingly your gynecologist agreed. And the next to you know. He had already had your gynecologist and midwives all set and ready to aid you when you called. He is also the best swimming pool contractor to build a pool inside the estate that would be fitting for the water birth. You were really happy that your ex-husband was putting in the effort to make sure that everything was running smoothly.

And you were also happy to see him getting excited as he watched as your tummy grew larger from afar. You were glad for his visit to your chambers to check up on you and ask if the baby was fine and sometimes during the small chats, you’d let him feel the baby kick.

You weren’t his lover anymore, but you both made a promise to be friends. Well you did, because Gojo wanted to get you back. You thought that it was sweet of him to want to change for you. But a part of you felt like it was too late for that.

You didn't want to get back with him anytime soon. Right now you are happy being single. And for now, Gojo had to accept that because he wasn’t ready to receive your love once more. So for now, he’ll settle at being just friends while you both prepared yourselves for the birth of your son.

Gojo Sorai.

raiden shogun with revenge?

Warnings: Yandere themes and unhealthy relationships.

13k follower event

There were few situations where Ei herself would emerge from the Plane of Euthymia.

In happier days, where you would sit beneath grand sakura trees reminiscing amongst friends, you may have joked she was like a turtle in that regard. Sticking her neck out only when necessary and preferring to hide away inside a safe shell. A shame that the present is far more somber in nature. Sasayuri does not sit to your left nor does Mikoshi Chiyo sit to your right.

All that remains is her. Your past, present, and future. The shadow of the once true Shogun, who, in an ironic twist of fate, had been reduced to a shadow of herself.

What did that leave, you wonder?

“I challenge Her Eternal Excellency to a duel before the throne.”

Your vassal, who served your every whim before Ei tethered you to her side, stands before you again. He grasps his katana with unrivaled determination, fire burning bright in his eyes.

Tenshukaku’s inner court pulsates to life from the bold declaration. The air is as thick as the tatarigami saturating Yashiori Island, choking out anything that regards itself a living being. You’re stunned to silence.

It is the doll, not Ei, who replies.

“And what is it that you ask for in return?”

His response is immediate. Planned far in advance, you realize.

“My lord’s freedom.”

“... I see.”

You doubt he notices the slight difference difference in her tone, but you do. Ei must have considered this slight serious enough to earn her personal attention. In the same way waves retreat from the shoreline, the Raiden Shogun recedes, her creator taking control.

“I accept your challenge.”

Ei’s soft yet firm acceptance breaks you from your stupor. Now realizing that this was your chance to reason — the puppet refused to bend no matter what you said, as it followed its orders to the letter — you rush to her side.

Lowering your voice to a hush, you plead, “Ei, enough with this. How many of my best men and women must you slaughter until you show mercy?”

“They are the ones challenging me,” she insists. You swallow a buildup of saliva in your throat. “If you cannot bring yourself to watch... then look away. Though, I believe doing so would be an insult to their resolve.”

You know that already. That’s why you never tear your eyes from the nightmare unfolding in front of you, why you can visualize the mountain of bodies carrying your banner so easily when sleep eludes you. Those who served under you won’t stop for as long as they remember their lord was wronged by the unmovable Shogun.

Ei’s gaze lingers on you a second longer, perhaps something akin to pity crossing over her face. You know your request is unreasonable. A warrior will never back down from a challenge — such is their nature.

Still... as she walks toward the one she is to duel, you can’t help but pray for his safety.

If only your god ever listened to your prayers.

HELL YEAH I LOVE THIS SUIKAWARI MY HEART THING SHOUTA'S SO T H I R S T Y ok real talk deku absolutely knows who eraserhead is right??? hes an eraserhead fan right???????

"These seem kind of ...short," Izuku can't help but point out, hands coming down to tug futilely at the swim shorts that had somehow replaced his standard blue and yellow Mighty Swim Shorts(TM) he's had for years now. "And tight."

"As god Herself intended," Hitoshi mutters from where he's laid out on the concrete of the changing room floor. "Praise be to Yaomomo."

"Praise be," Izuku automatically echoes out of longstanding habit.

A beat of silence passes between them

"You know that floor is beyond filthy, right?" Izuku can't help but ask.

Hitoshi just peels one bleary eye open and stares up at Izuku silently.

"Fair enough," Izuku agrees as he goes back to fussing with his shorts.

"You nervous?" Hitoshi asks a few seconds later.

"Yeah," Izuku admits sheepishly. "Seems kind of dumb huh? Being so nervous over a charity event like this? But ... what if I look stupid?"

"Not possible," Hitoshi immediately denies.

Izuku loves his friend so much. Getting arrested together with Hitoshi at a rally really was the best thing to happen to him in a long time.

"Very possible," Izuku counters. "Highly probably in fact. Everyone else participating is super cool with super cool moves, with or without their quirk being involved. I'm just ... me."

"Look," Hitoshi says as he eels his way across the floor until he's laying right beside where Izuku's standing. "Just go out there and do exactly what you did at practice. Trust me, it'll go perfectly. Especially since Todoroki's not here to catch the vapors or the drapes on fire."

"Still don't know why the entire group had to come to that practice," Izuku grumbles just a bit. "Or why Momo had to host it. Or why Uraraka recorded it."

"Kirby's making mint by now," Hitoshi mumbles under his breath.

"What?" Izuku asks.

"Nothing," Hitoshi waves his question off lazily as he finally rolls over and pushes himself up onto his feet.

He throws an arm over Izuku's shoulder and rests his sharp chin on the crown of Izuku's head.

"Like I said before," Hitoshi reaches his hand up to poke at Izuku's cheek, "just go out there and be your regular sunshine broccoli self and do what you did at practice night. You've got this."

And by this point all Izuku can do is believe him.

~~~

Crate of watermelons firmly in hand, Izuku bounces just a bit on his toes and focuses on taking deep breaths of fresh ocean air.

Dagobah Beach is still as beautiful now as it was all those years ago when he cleaned it for Toshi-sensei at the start of his apprenticeship.

On the other side of the small, curtained off backstage area the crowd that's gathered is going wild.

Honestly, Izuku would rather be out there watching the Miruko crush watermelons than here waiting for his own turn to go on stage.

But, eventually, is turn does actually come.

"...the showstopper himself, the one, the only, the #1 Can Do Hero Dekiru."

Present Mic's announcement ringing in his ears, Izuku takes one last deep breath, does his best to smile, and moves out into view.

The crowd is deafening and Izuku has to admit that it always makes him feel more than a bit awestruck to have so many people cheering for him. Especially over something that's more than a bit silly even if it's for a collection of good causes.

He shoots the crowd a small wave as he sets his crate down.

"Show us what you've got!" Present Mic demands from somewhere to Izuku's right. "And let's give him some encouragement listeners!"

The crowd begins to chant "De~ki~ru!" and Izuku picks up his first watermelon, determined to follow Hitoshi's advice.

The first and second melons break easily enough, just as they had at practice, but the crowd seems happy.

So Izuku moves onto his third pose, the one that the others had made him repeat a handful of times a few nights ago.

A flex of his thighs and a twist of his hips and his lap's covered in sweet pink flesh and sticky juice.

"Oh god," a voice, low and husky, cuts across the crowd, "I wish that was me right now."

Even as the crowd goes abruptly silent Izuku's attention immediately zeroes in on the source.

He immediately feels his entire soul leave his body.

Because standing there beside Present Mic, arms crossed over his chest and face blank, is Eraserhead.

The Eraserhead.

The same Underground Hero Izuku's been a huge fan of since the moment he found out he existed. The notorious hell teacher of UA whose very name sends shivers of fear down the majority of his friend group's spine.

The same Eraserhead who was Hitoshi's mentor.

And who Izuku may or may not have a strange, second-hand sort of not-crush on.

In his defense, Hitoshi's stories about his mentor are always highly entertaining to Izuku. And what he's learned about Eraserhead through his friend just makes Izuku think the man is someone he'd really like to get to know.

Which is what makes being here, topless, covered in watermelon juice, and with an actual audience to witness the semi-sexual remark Eraserhead had just made about him, a special kind of torture.

Because Izuku's never admitted it to anyone, and especially not Hitoshi, but Eraserhead lines up pretty closely with what Izuku would consider his type.

The man understands heroics, and according to his capture and expulsion rate and Hitoshi himself, has a lot of personal dedication and drive. The stories Hitoshi tells about him show he's got a soft streak he keeps well hidden and he's intimidatingly smart.

Plus he's tall, has hair that Izuku admits he wouldn't mind getting his hands tangled in, and looks like he'd be mean in all the right circumstances.

All of that is probably why Izuku finds himself speaking without really giving himself permission to open his mouth.

"Ah," Izuku hears himself say, "maybe we could go on a date first though? If you'd like?"

For a long moment it's so quiet Izuku's pretty sure he can hear himself dying cell by mortified cell.

Eraserhead's face somehow manages to go even blanker.

And then, he smiles.

'Oh wow,' Izuku can't help but marvel as he takes in the expression he's seen palely echoed on Hitoshi's face a million times, 'that's ... unexpectedly attractive.'

He can feel even more heat rush to his face in response as he chews nervously on his lower lip.

"Hope you like coffee," Eraserhead finally says, "and cats."

And Izuku can't help but grin because yes, yes he does.

But he's pretty sure he's going to end up liking Eraserhead even more than all of those put together.

~~~

"Hell is empty," Hitoshi intones when Izuku finally manages to get free of the semi-rioting crowd so he can rush back into the changing room to clean himself up. "All the devils are right fucking here."

Izuku stalls out for a moment, unsure of what, exactly, he's supposed to say to that.

"You've got a date with Eraserhead," Hitoshi plows on.

The expression on his face is caught somewhere between gleeful and absolutely unhinged.

"Yeah," Izuku can't help the grin that steals across his face as he wipes himself down. "Or at least I hope he was serious."

"Oh he was serious," Hitoshi reassures him. "As serious as the heart-attacks basically everyone we know have probably collectively had."

"Do you think he's gonna like me?" Izuku can't help but fret just a bit.

"He's gonna marry you," Hitoshi snips back. "And we're all gonna suffer. Thank the gods you won't be breeding at least. Whatever the both of you are ends with you."

"That's kind of a quick jump to make but quirk science has come a long way," Izuku says absently as he pulls his shirt over his head. "Most couplings are genetically possible these days you know?"

"That was not a challenge," Hitoshi hisses, horror overtaking his expression. "I swear to god Izuku do not spawn with Eraserhead."

Izuku just waves him off as he trots back towards the door to the changing room.

He has an Eraserhead to track down and, hopefully, date plans to iron out.

OBSESSIVE STOLAS X Male Imp Pt.1

(This is a long fanfic and will consist of multiple parts.)

The day Stolas met you, the life which had been boring at worst and full of love and respect at best, was in complete shambles. Broken ever since the "Brunch incident".

He and his wife were barely on speaking terms, and when they did speak, it would almost exclusively devolved into a fight filled with harsh words and thrown objects.

His darling starfire hadn't spoken to him in over a week. Something he'd usually chock up to teenage angst, but she actively avoided him now.

Something she'd never do before.

And so with his homelife slowly tearing him apart, he naturally thought a visit to his favourite Imp in all hell would brighten his day.

And that's where you came in.

You'd worked at I.M.P for the last few months and were quickly becoming a valued member of the I.M.P family.

Youd just finished a job and were about to fill out the rather tedious paperwork the job entailed, When the towering Demon Prince entered the office.

You were too proud an Imp to admit it, but when you first saw Prince Stolas you were a little starstruck.

Said Prince, apon finding a new Imp at I.M.P's office immediately inquired as to who you were

Taken off guard by suddenly be talking to a Prince of hell, you spent a moment fumbling your words, before finally telling him your name.

Stolas finding the whole thing quiet adorable.

Stolas sparked up a conversation, asking how you ended up at I.M.P and your work with the company. Something you were more than happy to tell him about.

You told him how Blitzø had hired you after youd single handedly killed 3 men in a fight with only a can opener.

Then you told him about how working as an assassin was challenging but enjoyable work, all things considered.

You tell him how working for the chaotic force of nature that is Blitzø was great too, when he wasn't being a prick.

As charming as Stolas found your slightly flustered conversation. There was a purpose to his visit. And so asking you if Blitzø was in, to which you told him he was in his office.

Stolas suddenly became anxious, wondering aloud if his outfit was presentable or not.

This caused you to laugh, placing a hand over your mouth.

Stolas was immediately indignant, demanding to know what was so funny.

You killed the laugh with a cough, before telling him you laughed because simply put "You'd never seen a more ravishing demon in all your time in hell" And for him to be anxious was funny to you.

Stolas Blushed hard, a Warmth he didn't understand spreading through his chest. It had been so long since he'd received such praise from someone who wasnt utterly subservient to him.

Sputtering out an timid thank you, before immediately making his way Blitzø's office, Ignoring your cries to wait.

Being violently thrown out of Blitzø's office was not how he saw this unplanned little 'Rendezvous' going.

Blitzø stepped out stared down at him, a mixture of disgust and anger plain on his face.

'I'm so sick of this shit stolas' Blitzø grumble out, pinching the bridge between his eyes. 'We made a Fucking deal, I come over ONCE a MONTH and fuck your brains out. And you leave me alone unless you have a job for us.'

Stolas tried to reply, trying to explain why he was there. But before he could Blitzø interjected 'I can put up with all creepy perverted texts and shit, but I am not your God Damned SEXTOY Stolas! I don't want to see your ass don't here again!' He screamed, before slamming the door.

Stolas just sat there. Unwilling to move. He felt like he'd just been slapped.

His eyes stung. His throat burned. He clutched at the ground, and even as his world fell apart around him, he could only focus on one thing.

He felt so cold...

He had no one.

No one loved him.

He felt so cold...

It took everything he had not to breakdown, he couldn't, not here. It was unbecoming of a prince to been seen showing such weakness.

The sudden sensation of something on his shoulder. Daring to open his eyes, he was shocked to find You, standing over him. Hand on his shoulder and a sympathetic smile on your face.

You reached into your coat and removed a handkerchief.

Croutching down you wiped the growing dew around his eyes.

Putting away the hanky, you stood up and offered him a hand.

Helping him to his feet, you asked him if he was okay. Stolas immediately tried to put up his aristocratic facade and assure you he was fine.

Only for the words to die in his throat and for him to almost burst into tears again.

Leading him into the nearby office, you find yourself in the conference room. You sat him on said conference table.

Quickly zipping off, you returned a moment later with a little plastic cup of water.

Handing the little cup, he took it with a wordless thanks.

Stolas felt cold.

He felt like his whole world was falling apart. He had nothing.

His wife couldnt stand him.

His beloved Starfire wouldn't stay in the same room as him.

He had nothing and no one.

No one loved him.

Why should he even go on.

Even through there crimson glow, you could see just how close he was to breaking down.

So before his despair could consume him completely, you did the only thing you could think of.

You climbed atop the conference table and pulled the poor owl-boi into a hug.

It was a little awkward due to the height difference, but standing on the table brought you high enough to pull his head onto your chest.

Stolas was utterly shocked, not just by the action itself, But the fact you did this on your own acord.

He didn't have to barter or beg or make promises for your affection.

You just... gave it freely.

He couldnt help himself.

It had been so long since he'd last felt the loving touch of another soul.

And for you to give affection so openly, he felt he could let himself be vulnerable to you. He releases a long anguished cry, bursting into tears.

You just held him close, gently petting his head, whispering words of comfort, telling him everything would be okay.

He didn't know why but your words brought out

Stolas threw his arms around you, holding onto you as though you were the last anchor in his sea of despair.

The poor owl drenched the front of your shirt with his dejected tears.

Stolas didn't know how long he cried for, and you simply didn't care.

You could tell he needed this and were more then happy to give the demonic prince some much needed affection.

Eventually, Stolas shed all the tears he had, standing up he unintentionally pulled himself from your warm embrace.

Stolas instantly missed the warmth of your touch. The same all consuming coldness as before instantly returning.

Looking up at Stolas you draw your handkerchief and go to wipe his tear stained face.

But before you could, Stolas grabbed your hand, his other hand was placed on the back of your head, he pulls you into a kiss.

You weren't sure how to react, stolas certainly didn't give you any time to figure it out as he pulled you deeper into the kiss.

While you were initially shocked by the kiss, you honestly, didn't care to put up any kind of resistance.

While you would of preferred he asked for a kiss, you could tell the guy needed this. And all things considered, you were happy to oblige him.

So when his tongue slid across your teeth, asking for entrance, you wrapped your arms around his neck you let it in, giving stolas full access to your mouth.

You began leaning into the kiss, doing your best to return his passion.

Stolas, took your returning passion as further permission, he became more aggressive.

His tongue dominated your mouth, as his hands began roamed across your body.

Stolas was in bliss, each time you shivered or moaned, bringing him further pleasure.

Taking each sound as encouragement, he became more and more aggressive. Sure that each sound you made was an unconscious sign of love.

He became more desperate to hear your angelic voice as moaned or cried out. Desperate to hear someone say they loved him.

Gripping his head, you tried to de-escalate the situation before it got out of hand.

Of course that was easier said then done, as Stolas was much stronger then he looked. But after much effort, despite Stolas's silent insistence that you continue, you finally managed to break the kiss.

Stolas's forceful nature found you pushed back onto the table. Stolas towering over you, staring down at you with those awe inspiring crimson eyes.

'We cant be this doing this' You try to tell him 'Not here. What if someone walks in on us?' The question hung in the air. When it became obvious it wasn't deterring his growing need you asked 'What if Blitzø catches us?'

Stolas pulled back at that.

Looking to the side he rubbed his arm, Anxiety bubbling in his chest.

Stolas hadn't thought of that.

What if Blitzø did walk in?

Finding him with one of his employees.

In his office.

Would Blitzø be upset?

Would he yell at him, scream and throw a fit, insisting he had betrayed him...

Would Blitzø even care?

There was a part of him that said 'Of course he would. Blitzø, no matter how much he denied it, surely Blitzø cared for him on some level.'

Stolas could tell himself that all he wanted, but deep down, he knew the truth.

He placed his hand on your cheek, looking down at you. He tried to speak only for a new wave of emotions hit him, causing him on reflex to fall silent.

It was in that moment, as he stood over you, did he realis he didn't need to hide his vulnerability from you. You weren't judging him, he could be vulnerable to you and would judge him for it.

His heart swelled and despite having just met you, he found himself developing a deep yearning to be with you.

'I-I know this is sudden. And you have every right to say no. But please... No one has ever shown me such genuine affection like you have today.'

' I'm so used to people only interested in me for my status or resources.' Stolas held himself, looking dejectedly to the side. A new wave of sorrow enveloping him.

'Your the only one who's shown me the slightes care, past what I could do for them.' He didn't meet your gaze, he ran his hand down your chest, his voice becoming just above a whisper. 'I have nothing (Y/N), I have no one. Right now your the only thing I have.'

'I need to feel something (Y/n), I need to feel something before I fall apart, and I want feel it with you.' He was practically begging you by this point.

Things like pity and mercy were a death sentence in hell.

There was nothing stopping you from saying no. You cared little for royalty. You weren't some door mat that took every word from royalty as gospel.

But right now, this great Demonic Prince standing before you. He didn't want your obedience. He wasn't forcing you to do anything.

He just wanted some sort of affection. something you knew you could give him so easily.

How could you say no?

With a deep sigh, you resigned yourself to your fate. Leaning forward you place your hand under his chin and raised his head to meet your gaze. Stolas was shocked when pulled him close and planted a kiss on his his beak.

'Lock the door' you whispered.

Tailor!Reader in Dream SMP

Dsmp x reader prompt; Tailor!Reader in Dream SMP. Credit would be appreciated so more people can find this and make their own things based on it.

Can fully be read as platonic. GN!reader with they/them pronounce as a placeholder so anyone can adapt it however they want. Both general and character specific parts included.

Characters who have a lot written for/about; Eret, Ranboo, Foolish, Tommy, Technoblade, Philza and Michael. Mentioned; Tubbo, Sam Nook, Purpled and Foolish Jr.

This ended up being super long so I’m putting it under the cut in order not to clutter people’s pages. My personal favourite part is Phil’s and Techno’s part. These could be read as headcanons but are still available as a prompt(s) to use for anyone.

------------------------------

The reader joining after the doomsday as a time frame in my mind.

The reader helping people patch up their current clothes since most of it got pretty banged up during the doomsday, and it's not like they can just go get a new outfit since quite a few people had just lost all their belongings and only had the clothes on their back. So at first prioritizing helping patch up the current clothing people were wearing and then moving on to making some simple fast to make and easy on the resources clothes for people. Just like basic shirts and shorts/pants, nothing fancy. Then when everyone has at least a couple of different clothes to change to and from starting their own business to sell people more if they wanted. However waving payment if they brought them the materials and what they wanted wasn't overly complicated.

People at first thinking they are just some chump who knows basic sewing or something. A very kind chump, but still a chump. So imagine their surprise when one day they are just walking by the reader's now established tailors and they see these absolutely stunning designs displayed at the windows.

Just like their reactions seeing these beautiful designs they can't help but stare at. I'd imagine some of them just doing a double take when they walk by, someone pressing their face up to the glass trying to see it closer, the braver ones going inside and talking to the reader about their designs and the more anxious and/or shy ones only going inside when the reader isn't there to look at designs closer.

And the reasons they like/are amazed by the designs vary also ! Some just have monkey brain that goes "Pretty. WANT", some who just love the colour and art of the pieces, some who imagine how epic this design or others would look on them, some who love the fashion aspect of it and of course the very small portion who actually know anything about tailoring/sewing and the amount of work that goes into making something intricate.

Some specific character/group interactions I thought of;

Making warm well insulated clothes for people moving to Snowchester so they don't freeze. +A warm cape for Ranboo for the same reason.

Eret being one of the firsts (if not the first) to get himself a fully tailored and customized outfit. Them also being the first and very possibly only person to get a dress or a skirt since most of the other people on the server prefer to wear pants (excluding maid dresses which people might get as joke). The reader crying in joy for getting to design something different for once. And hey if the reader ends up making a few extra ones that she didn't order, but decided to give her anyway it was all just some extra ones they had lying around, never mind the fact that the dresses/skirts are perfectly tailored for Eret and are her style. Just a coincidence, nothing suspicious there. Eret also models for the reader and once he even convinced them to hold a fashion show to showcase some of their work to the whole server. Of course he was the main model presenting the outfits.

At start of the reader beginning to display their designs at their shop Ranboo sees a really cool looking suit on display and his brain just goes "Want." He probably wouldn't be able to buy anything pre-made and be comfortable in it due to his physique. And him having just moved into the arctic and only starting to get settled in, he doesn't have comfortable enough funds for him to get something as expensive as a custom tailored suit AND have enough for any possible rent that he might be required to pay.

Eventually when he gets richer he starts considering getting one but the anxious side of him always ends up winning and he doesn't. However once he finally gets the courage to go commission the suit for himself he doesn't regret it at all. The reader did their best to not overwhelm him and to make it the best possible experience. Just imagining the absolute joy he would feel for having a properly fitting suit that's made just for him, not too short sleeves nor too wide torso and shoulders, just perfect. If he ends up ordering a couple more suits that's between him and the reader. He actually ends up probably being their most frequent and reliable customer.

And we should all know why that is, but let me clarify just in case; Michael.

The reader basically becoming Michael's personal stylist (/hj) . Not only does Ranboo buy a god awful amount of clothes for Michael, the reader also makes some free ones for him. The free ones are things the reader felt like designing since they absolutely adore Michael and the ones Ranboo pays for are commissioned by him. Michael absolutely has the biggest wardrobe in the whole server. The reader learning how to make plushies so Michael could have some more toys, this learning experience including learning to crochet and knit to see what he like best.

Using their newly acquired plush making skills, the reader starts their quest to make some plushies for others after seeing people stare at the plushies wistfully either while they were working on them or seeing Michael with the plushies. People who got them include the minors, their close friends and basically anyone they thought might benefit from them. Some of the ones they made (that I could think of);

Of course a bee for Tubbo, but also throwing in a little ram one as well

Ranboo gets a grass block plush/pillow

Tommy gets a cobblestone block plush and a cow plush. He also later receives a Sam Nook plush while he's working on the hotel

Purpled getting two different sized ufos, one to hold and the other more of a big pillow

Eret definitely gets a flamingo plush

Foolish gets a totem and a gold block plushies

Phil gets crow plush as well these tiny fake coin and gem plushies (the latter causes problems for him which I'll expand upon later)

Techno gets a pig one as well as polar bear one

Back to the individual/group part

The reader just chilling w/ Foolish as a fellow artists. Them talking about both their arts and catching up every time the reader comes to deliver something to Snowchester when Foolish is building the mansion. Just two pretty peaceful artists talking about their passions. I’d imagine Foolish and the reader could relate to each other and their place in the server due to their similar hobbies/jobs as well as their similar time of joining the server. Foolish's first commission from them being an intricate blanket for Foolish Jr so he could have a more comfortable resting place. He may or may not end up receiving that and several other (though less intricate) blankets as well as a tiny shark plush to give to Foolish Jr. Later on when the reader gets better at either knitting or crocheting they end up making a tiny shark jumper with a hood for Foolish Jr as well. Foolish would definitely cry when he sees his tiny shark baby. Any commissions of clothes for himself tend to always take some time due to sheer amount of work needing to be done due to his size so he always makes sure the reader doesn’t already have a lot on their plate and that they know he’s fine with waiting if they need to take a break from it.

Then there's Tommy, who they sometimes teach more about sewing since he already knows some basics. Him probably being the first person aside from Michael they make a plush for, due to him demanding one once he saw the reader making them. Then proceeding to get three plushies in rapid succession. The first being the cobblestone, the second being the cow and the third one being the Sam Nook one. He ends up losing one of them during the prison fiasco and when the reader asks if he'd like a new one they only get the answer of "Don't want to think about what happened and the same one might make me do that". He then promptly receives new clothing (so he isn't wearing the same ones he was wearing in prison) and some extra blankets (for comfort) from the reader.

After Tommy meeting Michael does he use him to scam the reader to make them matching outfits for free? Yes, yes he does. Does it work? Yes, yes it does. Are they bothered by it? Not really, they look adorable in their matching outfits.

The reader being the source for Sam Nook's construction gear/clothes or at least the original patterns for them.

And then there's the arctic boys (minus Ranboo, who will still get mentioned) who are an interesting bunch clothing wise. The first one to commission the reader out of them would be Phil who got the original warm cape for Ranboo but also at the same time commissioned one for himself that would include slits for his wings. Eventually getting to design clothing for him which is always an exciting challenge with his wings. And when Phil finally manages to convince Techno to get something made for himself as well, Techno almost immediately gets addicted to having high quality clothing when they finish their first piece for him. The fun the reader has designing clothes for these boys is immeasurable with their different styles and needs in the clothing. Aside from clothing Techno also commissions them for a pet bed for Steve.

When the boys got their plushies it was adorable but also a very chaotic. Techno giving his pig one to Steve so he wouldn't miss him when he was away from home, but also bringing the polar bear one with him when he couldn't or wasn't allowed to bring Steve with him but still needed comfort. While on Phil's side of things; he was showing his crows the crow plushie joking about he'll replace them if they aren't careful however he made the mistake of showing them the tiny coin and gem plushies as well. I want you to imagine hundreds of crows descending upon this poor fool of a man in the background while the reader is walking away hoping they like their plushies.

The war that ensued the couple following days amongst the crows starts to cool down but the bickering doesn't, every waking moment Phil can feel eyes on him and one or more of the crows coming to complain about the others having had the shiny plushies for too long. He quickly caves under the pressure and commissions more of the tiny shiny treasure plushies. And by more I mean a lot more.

When he finally has enough of the things he goes around distributing them to the crows. Finally a moment of peace, but he still feels like something is staring at him occasionally. Deciding to ignore it since it's finally quiet he goes to makes himself a cup of tea and while waiting for the water to boil he fishes out the few shiny plushies he had saved for himself. The second he does he feels eyes burning into him and now that it's quiet he hears it, quiet muffled snuffles and snorts of discontent. Then he sees what ‘it’ is, it's Techno behind the window looking at the shinies in his hand with such intensity Phil fears for his life (/hj). Phil just sighs deeply before walking over to the window and opening it. For a second Techno looks like a deer in headlights before returning to intensely staring at the shinies in Phil's hand before Phil just dumps the shiny plushies into Techno's hand and closes the window. Happy piglin noises can be heard outside while Phil debates the pros (getting to have shinies himself) and cons (the embarrassment of having to commission even more of the shiny plushies than he already has) of getting new ones from the reader. And in all this the reader has no idea the amount of chaos they inadvertently caused.

And finally; Techno commissioning robes/cloaks for whole the Syndicate to wear in their meetings, because he’s dramatic like that. But since he’s a thoughtful guy, he wants them all to fit the members well and not be uncomfortable to wear so he gets everyone’s measurements. Once he has them all he goes to the reader with the order for the robes, he has all the measurements written down under just Person 1, Person 2 etc. to keep their anonymity and when asked what the robes are for he just tells the reader it’s a book club. When he gets them all and the reader asks no further questions he thinks he’s gotten away with getting some cool robes for the Syndicate with their secrets safe. Little does he know the reader actually now knows all the members in the Syndicate since they can just reference the gotten measurements with everyone’s measurements written down from previous work done by them. Whether the reader thinks it’s some weird cult they all are a part of or just an actual book club people are too embarrassed to admit they are in, is up to interpretation.

BnHA Chapter 313: Deku VS Lady Nagant

Previously on BnHA: Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai Lady Nagant showed up to fire a cupid’s arrow into my heart, and a bunch of literal bullets into my son. Deku was all “oh shit it’s Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai, what do I do, let me think back to Hawks’s advice for a sec.” Flashback!Hawks was all “anyway Deku so if my super-hot badass murder senpai ever shows up you’re basically screwed so you’d better abscond the fuck out of there.” Present!Deku was all “lol idek why I flashed back to that conversation since I’m just going to do the exact opposite of what Hawks said” and charged directly toward Nagant because WHY NOT. Overhaul was all “waah I need to get back to my boss who I put in a coma out of love” and Nagant was all “jesus christ why did I even bring you here” and had a flashback to AFO who was all “ILU NAGANT IMMA GIVE YOU AN EXTRA QUIRK SO PLEASE CAPTURE DEKU FOR ME PLEASE AND THANKS” and yeah. Shit is all over the place right now and I love it.

Today on BnHA: All Might gets attacked by a pair of discount assassins and is all “Call an ambulance! ...BUT NOT FOR ME” and it’s really badass but also I really wish he would stop tempting fate like this. Lady Nagant is all “[casually flies around town shooting shit]” and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t read an entire chapter of just that. Deku is all, “[gets shot (≥_<)]” and releases a giant Smokescreen which prompts En to show up. En is all, “( •᷄⌓•᷅ ) (⌣̀ Δ⌣́) ( •̀_•́ )σ (¬､¬) (눈_눈)” which I consider to be a high point of both the chapter and of my life. The chapter ends with Deku using the Third’s quirk to launch a bunch of random objects at Nagant so that he can jump up and grab her arm all sneaky-like, and I’m sure this is going to prompt another week’s worth of discourse that I don’t care about at all, but fuck it, I’m having a good time.

OH WE’RE CUTTING BACK TO ALL MIGHT WELL THAT’S NICE I GUESS. CONGRATS ON NOT BEING DEAD

you named your car??

you named it Hercules??

I love you so much??

please marry me you giant fucking dork???

lmao speaking of huge fucking dorks

who the fuck are you clowns. la dee da we’re gonna murder All Might with our synchronized spear attack!! I mean... they’re clearly trying their best... maybe I should just be nice and politely hype them up like All Might is so clearly trying to do

like okay, but we all agree that this is actually the least intimidating attack any of us has ever seen, right?? these guys zipped up their hoodies all serious-like and are trying to attack All Might and Hercules with their Walmart tiki torches, but just, no?? right?? like the only way this could possibly be effective is if they were trying to kill All Might with secondhand embarrassment

“those are assassins” this is a VERY generous assessment, All Might

OH MY GOD THE TIKI TORCHES ACTUALLY KILLED THE FUCK OUT OF HERCULES

[slaps roof of car] this baby can fit so many weaponized festive backyard lighting solutions in it

and yet, even after watching this with my own two eyes, I still can’t take these dudes seriously. idek what it is. anyways r.i.p. Hercules, I loved you a lot but I guess you weren’t actually a very good armored car were you

omg they didn’t know it was All Might??

okay 1) for a moment there I was like “oh hey maybe they’re not so bad after all” but then a moment later it was like “ah nope, they are.” like, that was an interesting .06 second emotional journey there. anyways 2) All Might you have my permission to kick their asses for this disrespect, and 3) anyone else all of a sudden getting “wouldn’t this be an interesting time for Stain to suddenly show up” vibes?? no?? just me???

(ETA: hmm tbh I’ve still got those vibes and they haven’t gone away lol. Stain?? you out there buddy?? do you want to be cool for just once in your life. ball’s in your court pal.)

OH SNAP ALL MIGHT ARE YOU REALLY GONNA DO IT ARE YOU GONNA KICK THEIR ASSES

PROTECTIVE DAD MODE ACTIVATED?? BECAUSE YOU KNOW I’M HERE FOR THAT SHIT, SO YEAH, FEEL FREE

omg he’s shouting at them about how much Deku has suffered lmao and they’re just like falling over from being scolded

so they have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about though, right? “SIR THIS IS A WENDY’S” well whatever, you killed his pet car so he’s in a bad mood now

OH MY GOD

LIKE, JUST SO WE’RE ALL CLEAR, THESE FOUR PAGES SO FAR HAVE MADE ALMOST ZERO SENSE. LIKE MAYBE 2% SENSE TOPS. BUT ASK ME IF I CARE. GO AHEAD AND ASK. I SAID GO AHEAD, IT’S OKAY. ...NO I DON’T CARE AT ALL THANK YOU FOR ASKING

(ETA: also, the more I look at this panel, the more I’m just like, why the hell would you phrase it like that though, sob. way to doubly tempt fate?? are you trying to give Horikoshi a challenge??)

and now back to Deku who is randomly bouncing around the city and narrating it to himself just in case he was confused about why he was doing this

who are you talking to Deku. but thanks we appreciate it

man you gotta love that overconfidence. the smartest guy in the world warned you away from this lady, so SURE, LET’S RUN RIGHT UP TO HER. “I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, FLASHBACK!HAWKS, BUT I’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE” well okay then!!

I think it would be funny if RHA.com put little Buzzfeed-style polls in between the chapter pages so they could survey people at random intervals as they read their way through the chapter. like, you finish this page and then there’s a little poll there asking “do you think Deku’s plan of catching up to Lady Nagant and finding out where Shigaraki is will work?”, and you click “no” just like everyone else and then nod as the results show that 97% of your fellow readers also picked “no”, and you chuckle to yourself wondering how many of the 3% accidentally clicked on the wrong option by mistake, and then you keep on reading

ANYWAY, SO

HOW’S THAT PLAN WORKING OUT FOR YOU SO FAR DEKU. nice kick, though!!

omggggggg

ouch

update: Deku’s plan not really working out. sources tell me my boy has been fucking shot. this is an ongoing story and we will keep you posted with the latest developments as they come in

wait what

feel free to explain to the rest of us what all of this “UNLESS...” and “THAT POSSIBILITY...” shit means anytime, Deku

oh lol did he realize she could fly??

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE, CNN’s John King reports that Deku is still fucked. eyewitness reports now coming in that Nagant is doing no-look shots and basically not even giving a fuck. sources described her mannerisms and expression as “sexy, but in like an effortless sort of way.” we will continue to bring you the latest

so now there’s basically an entire page of Deku being all “ah fuck so she’s basically closing in and she could already hit me with impossible accuracy even from Far Away, so if that’s the case then her being Up Close is probably going to be even worse!” making good use of that Big Hero Brain there, Deku

so now what, you’re doing some kind of spiraling kick thing?? how is that going to help

oh lol he’s using Smokescreen to create some cover. aww, good for you Deku you named one of your Smokescreen attacks

OH NO LADY DON’T TELL ME AFO DIDN’T EVEN FILL YOU IN ON THE BASICS

seriously, AFO?? you basically told her what Deku’s exact strategy was going to be but then couldn’t be assed to drop that little, small, barely notable piece of knowledge that Deku is rocking multiple quirks?? is it supposed to be a secret or something?? you dropped the ball here man

damn this is getting intense now

(ETA: the way En is poking Deku’s head in that first panel is fucking sending me, I love this guy so much omg.)

well then what are you planning, Deku?? I’m actually really curious!! I am genuinely starting to be invested in this fight scene not only in the “wanting to see who wins and how that impacts the plot” sense, but also in the “wanting to see how it happens because the choreography and strategy is actually pretty cool” sense, which honestly hasn’t happened for quite a while now! this is fun

anyway so what’s up Deku, are you going to use another quirk?? I’ve been speculating that he hasn’t actually unlocked the last two yet (since Two and Three didn’t exactly seem convinced when we last saw them), but maybe I’m about to be proven wrong

(ETA: well he clearly has Three’s obviously, but Two’s is still MIA, and that’s the one I am of course the most curious about. that’s the one we’re all curious about, let’s be real.)

OH SNAP???

AHHHH I’M HYPED LOL. ANOTHER SHINY NEW QUIRK LOL SHOULD I PUT UP THE USUAL DISCOURSE DISCLAIMER

(ETA: so yeah, after thinking on it, I’m not gonna say “please no Deku discourse on my blog” this week, but I probably will ignore any discourse that does come my way though, just because I don’t have much interest in getting involved in what would probably be a pretty repetitive discussion. like, I can just sum up my opinions (which is what they are) here instead. in fact here they are lol:

1) I like the SIXQUIRKS and I like seeing Deku be a badass.

2) I also don’t think Deku is too OP. more like he’s exactly as OP as he needs to be at the moment, given that we’re approaching the end of the series. I expect the other kids will also be pretty damn OP when we see them fight again. we’re just at that point now where they’re all badasses (as well they should be; they’ve grown a lot and they deserve it). it’s just that Deku’s the one we’re getting to see right now.

3) of course I miss Kacchan and the others, but for me this vibes much closer to the MVA arc where even though I missed them, I was still having a blast (as opposed to the dark days of the Basement arc where I was pretty much losing it lol). like, even though Kacchan’s my favorite, I still love Deku a lot and this arc has been amazing for him getting to shine on his own (for like the first time, really).

4) y’all know I love the OFA plot and I’ve never been shy about that lol. I like all of the Vestiges a lot. Banjou and his over the top personality; En and his “guy you thought would be serious and :| all the time but is actually hyper-animated and ALL OVER THE PLACE” energy; Shiro who actually is a :| sort of guy lol; Three who I still expect will be fleshed out in a more detailed flashback at some point; and of course Two, who, well. you know what I think about him lol. Bakuverse is still on the table and I’m still hyped. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we still have yet to see Two actually talk to Deku (as opposed to talking to the other Vestiges while Deku is distracted). did he lend him his power yet?? or is he still holding out?? either way it’s definitely going to be a Big Thing when it finally happens and I can’t wait to see it.

5) Lady Nagant is Everything and just because Deku grabbed her arm doesn’t mean the fight is over yet lol. Overhaul hasn’t come into play yet either. not to mention that even if the fight is over, the “where do we go from here” part still has me excited either way. her connection to Hawks and the HPSC is very intriguing and we’ve barely touched on that as of yet; she definitely has more of a role to play in this.

6) last but not least, I feel like every week the discussion is all about how much focus Deku’s getting, and how OP he is or isn’t, and OFA this and OFA that, but meanwhile I’m actually so invested in the character development here though?? the way Deku has distanced himself from everyone (except for the Vestiges, because of course they’re already dead so it’s not like they can die again lol)?? the way he’s pushing himself far too hard and we can see the shadows in and under his eyes, and the fact that he never smiles, and even All Might has remarked on how he isn’t taking care of himself at all?? the fact that he’s so single-mindedly obsessed with focused on stopping AFO?? the fact that he’s still the same sweet old Deku despite everything and was so kind to that fox lady with the umbrella, but there was also something so sad about that scene because it felt like a reminder of the type of hero that he wants to be, but that he’s not allowed to be right now?? because the stakes are too high and the world is falling apart?? and he feels like he’s the only one who can do something about it?? and that he has to be?? and that he is putting so much pressure on himself right now, and it’s absolutely too much pressure for any one person to bear, and I feel like no one is fucking talking about this lol goddammit.

anyway so yeah. I have feels about this, and every week that slow-burn angst is getting more and more intense behind the scenes, and I feel like it’s all going to hit a breaking point eventually. sooner rather than later. it really feels like a mirror of Katsuki’s post-Kamino arc. where all that angst was just churning below the surface for like twenty chapters and then it finally was like “okay it’s time” and it all came bursting out and we got the best five chapters of the fucking series (in my admittedly biased estimation lol).

basically, I know that most of fandom is billing this as either the “villain hunt” arc or the “solo Deku SIXQUIRKS fighting arc” or whatever. but for me, it’s always been and still is the Deku Angst arc lol. the cool fights are a sexy bonus (the worldbuilding less so because even though it’s interesting to see society at such a low point, it’s also very depressing and gets old pretty fast), but for me the thing that’s really keeping me engaged chapter after chapter is seeing Deku like we’ve never seen him before. seeing him all quiet and withdrawn and brooding and focused on AFO, AFO, AFO, and seeing that “he just doesn’t take himself into account” mentality taken to extremes. I am invested in that. I’m soaking up that angst each and every week, and I’m invested in seeing what comes of it. it’s a big picture thing. week to week this arc might just seem like a bunch of villain fight scenes, sure. but Deku’s emotional journey is the thread that’s going to carry this arc through from beginning to end, and for that I’m willing to be patient.

anyway that turned into a BIG OL’ RANT there but yeah! so those are my thoughts on the disk horse as it currently stands. and like I said, I’m open to discussion, but tbh I will probably just wind up repeating these same talking points endlessly so just a fair warning lol.)

anyway so Three says Deku has yet to use his quirk at ALL but now he’s trying to combine it with another quirk?? damn. also please check out En’s face here you guys

En launching a sneak attack up my favorite character list by the sheer power of his expressions alone. he really knows how to make the most of his screentime

OH DAMN DEKU

at this point the 3% from that hypothetical poll earlier are starting to feel prettttty damn smug, I’ll bet. well shit

what in the fuck

?? so like releasing his chi or whatnot?? isn’t that basically just like base OFA all over again?? also Deku did you seriously just apologize to Gran’s cape

update: Nagant has turned her eyeball into a gun

hm. hmmmmmmm. ...okay yep, still somehow sexy

anyway so she’s just floating up there building suspense, as one does. lord I sure hope she has good reflexes because something tells me she’s going to need them

OH SNAP HE THREW GRAN’S CAPE AS A DECOY WHAAAAT OKAY THAT’S SOME SMART SHIT DEKU

LOL SHE’S MAD NOW

JESUS CHRIST SHE JUST NEVER TAKES A GODDAMN BREAK FROM BEING AWESOME HUH

DEKU ARE YOU JUST THROWING EVERY DAMN THING IN YOUR INVENTORY

but without the cape and the hood how will you continue to look like an enigmatic badass. you really can’t. which means we might finally be moving on from the wandering nomad part of this arc, stay tuned

LOL YOU MANIAC

I hope he went full Kacchan with the dialogue there. his face sure looks like it lol. popped out of a building all mad fdskljlkj omg

well this was fun, shit. I still have basically no idea what Three’s quirk does though lol. like, can he use it to charge up objects with kinetic energy or something?? but then what was all of that talk about combining it with one of the other quirks?? or was that just because he was using Smokescreen at the same time??

(ETA: having seen and read an additional half-dozen explanations of Three’s quirk, I can say with confidence that I still have basically no idea what it is or does.)

anyway so!! Deku is a badasssssss but something tells me not to count Nagant out just yet even so. also I really enjoy seeing Deku flip out on people like he doesn’t have a fucking hole in his torso because it reminds me of A CERTAIN SOMEONE and I always love to see him channeling that feral energy; I feel like it’s been a while

anyways good luck to you both!! I truly wish that both of you could win. but if not, then maybe you can at least become friends instead. you have so much in common, you both can fly and have multiple quirks and you’re both badasses, and plus it would just be really funny to see the look on Hawks’s face lmao
