Got tagged by @notallsandmen for a WIP paragraph game, and I’m incredibly flattered, considering ... this doesn’t feel on the level of fic, this is fun little sketches of dialogue at most. But this is what I had, so here’s more of the mortal dreamling silliness (previous bits: modern day mortal dreamling and newlyweds with ravens)

How Hob asked Johanna to be his witness for his wedding:

He texted her asking if she was free that afternoon, because he needed her for something. Historically "something" has meant anything from "taste-testing 3 different scone recipe variations to figure out the best one" to "hustling drunk pricks at darts". Likewise, Hob has done her favors ranging from picking up tampons to providing an alibi. In theory there is a ledger of favors owed, but in reality there will never be a balancing of books (because they're best friends, even if Johanna is too prickly to admit it and Hob is too smart to).

Johanna texted back "yeah, what's up?", and practically broke a land speed record pressing "Call" when she got the response.

Johanna: what the fuck kind of text exchange is confirming I'm around and then sending "getting married today, hello, witness!" and a selfie of you and some goth twink?

Hob: it felt pretty self-explanatory

Johanna: last I'd checked, you weren't even seeing anybody!

Hob: things change?

Johanna: I got dinner with you 5 weeks ago, you bastard, and you were single then.

Hob: ... things change fast?

Johanna: how the fuck did you even meet him?

Hob: I was running back from class during that awful rainstorm last month, and he was just outside my tube station.

Johanna: Hob.

Hob: His umbrella'd broken and he was soaking wet, and he looked absolutely miserable, poor darling.

Johanna: ...

Hob: So I offered him towels and dry clothes, since my flat was just up the road. And by the time the rain stopped I knew I wanted to marry him, and he said yes.

Johanna: what lunatic just follows strange men home?

Hob: he was pretty suspicious until I gave him my phone so he could text my address to his sister.

Johanna: and she was somehow fine with it, like 'yeah, go on'? 

Hob:

Hob: he got a bit distracted by my phone background and never actually texted her.

Johanna: the fuck

Hob: you know Julian of Norwich is gorgeous

Johanna: your cat is a lesser demon escaped from hell. I'm going to exorcise your cat someday

Hob: Jules is a sweetheart. She doesn't even hunt birds!

Johanna: That thing won't kill any of the bloody birds in your neighborhood because she's saving all her energy to someday murder me and you know it.

Hob: ... undeserved paranoia about my extremely photogenic cat aside --

Johanna: WELL-deserved!

Hob: --will you be my witness?

Johanna: Left it a bit late, if you're asking me today. Did everybody else say no?

Hob: Didn't ask anybody else. Been planning to ask you since Dream said yes, but I figured if I gave you too much notice you'd flee the country.

Johanna: [tearing up, because even if you're an independent badass, it's nice to hear you're somebody's person] you're fucking right I would.

(Johanna's custom ringtone on Hob's phone is from Sweeney Todd, the final verse in Johanna where you can hear the body drop ("Wake up, Johanna, another bright red day"), because Hob and Johanna are black-hearted bastards/absolutely in cahoots with each other and think it’s funny. Hob's ringtone is Being Alive from Company ("Somebody need me too much..."). Sondheim all the way, motherfuckers)

#dreamling #hob is a medievalist and he would name his cat after an anchoress #i don't make the rules except when i do #johanna: wtf do i even wear to be a witness #hob: idk nothing obviously bloody or stained?#johanna: mm. what are you wearing?#hob: khakis and a button up #johanna: not the high-waisted ones right?#hob: there is nothing wrong with them #johanna: you're going to look like the slutty professor wannabe you are #johanna: and i bet you're going to roll your sleeves up #hob mid-sleeve roll: can't i look nice for my future husband?#johanna: yeah nice. not Mr April from an Academia Gone Wild calendar #hob: ... how am i supposed to take that #johanna: as a suggestion to look like a respectable spousal candidate #hob: we got engaged on less than 24 hours' acquaintance #hob: there is no chance of respectability #johanna: jesus fucking christ #johanna: you're paying for all my drinks at the reception #hob: by reception do you mean at the pub afterwards #johanna: clearly you prick. and it's going to be decent liquor. none of that bottom shelf swill #hob: we are celebrating my marriage afterall #johanna: [groaning] text me the address and don't give me any shit when i show up with a flask #johanna: you absolute bastard #hob: <3 #dream is 'sir not appearing in this sketch' because he had to go back to his flat and get his own appropriate clothing #and also provide proof of life and zero mental impairment to death #because she was still hoping it was a joke/she could talk him around to waiting longer

I've seen discussions about why Ochako's face is covered on page 7 of chapter 394 when she says that she fell in love with Izuku, and I don't think it's because there should be any doubt about how she feels.

I think she is in love with Izuku, but her eyes are not shown because she is simply not declaring her love to the person she is in love with. She is talking to Toga right now, not Izuku. I think Ochako's full face will be shown when she finally tells Izuku how she feels about him.

( As the panel at the bottom of page 13, chapter 393 suggests she wants to do. )

Ochako is jealous of the smile Toga wears when she declares her love. I think we will see Ochako's smile when she ultimately does the same. When the time comes for Ochako to actually confess her love ( and she most likely will before the manga ends ), it is more satisfying if her whole face—smile and all—is shown to the person she is actually in love with, and that person is Izuku.

edit: I kind of went off in the tags. I am not going to move the tags into the actual post, so if you are interested in more thoughts ↓

#boku no hero academia #midoriya izuku #uraraka ochako #toga himiko #izuocha #i think toga will be happy for ochako when she confesses. if toga lives of course.#it would be silly to have a big moment about ochako's love for izuku here in her fight with toga.#it is important for ochako as a character to reach the conclusion that she shouldn't hold her feelings back because they are part of her.#understanding of self through the other: literally why toga was created for ochako and they were developed to match each other.#basic narrative foil business.#but there is more to this confrontation than ochako loving izuku.#ochako is facing toga because she wants to save her and talking at length about how she loves izuku would never accomplish that goal.#her love for him is a point of connection between her and toga yes.#a starting point really since it leads to a realization that ochako is jealous of toga.#*insert page 14 of chapter 393*#see how that gets a whole page of its own?#see how ochako's whole face is shown?#ochako expressing her jealousy of toga's candid nature when it comes to love is more significant here...#because that feeling is something between her and toga.#it is reciprocated.#jealousy is more significant here because toga is jealous too. of ochako. of other people being able to love and smile while she could not.#she says this on page 10 of chapter 394 and page 13 of chapter 395.#ochako becomes toga's hero by doing more than confirm she is in love with izuku.#she goes to extreme lengths to save toga and everyone around her and that is given greater importance in this moment than a confession.#as it should.#an emotional moment about ochako's love for izuku would happen between her and izuku.#not between her and toga.#basically ochako's full face is shown when her thoughts and feelings are about toga.#when she extends her hand to help her. when she tries to connect with her heart.#i am barely in the bnha fandom at this point 😂 but i do still enjoy thinking about my faves.

I fear that culturally we're too anti-intellectual for this conversation, but I wish we could talk about how academics are in a similar position to writers/actors/musicians in that we do all the labor for institutions like universities AND academic presses and do not get the pay, treatment, or residuals that we deserve while it all gets funneled to the higher up admin and for-profit entities

#how long can we say 'email the author of a paper if you dont have access to a journal ' before we finally grapple with the fact #that scholars do not own or financially benefit from their work #and in fact often have to PAY for a greater number of people to have access to their work through open access #also I do not think that anyone who does not work in academia has any idea just hot little professors/instructors/lecturers/etc are paid #like as an undergrad I would have guessed that faculty make low six figures #and that felt very reasonable to me #now that i'm a phd candidate i know thats a DREAM number that most people will never see #we talk about how little public school teachers are paid and most faculty make less #if youre a college student think about how much you pay in tuition and know that your teacher would be lucky to make half that in a year #as an adjunct i taught two sections of 30 students each and made less than 4000 TOTAL for the semester #even as a phd candidate at an R1 I make roughly 15 percent of the tuition paid for each class I teach #and that's as instructor of record. not a teaching assistant #anyway there is no separate struggle. all labor is exploited under capitalism
