#girl my tastes as a kid were so like dramatic. stop being quirky and cute mr cartoon character the evil lord is coming to kill us all

[bmpmp3]

so i was watching the new mlp movie and with kids movies and kids media in general, one thing i like to do as an adult is try to view it from the perspective of: “would i like this if i was a kid” ‘cause like, obviously i also think about if adult me likes it too or if i think its well made but a kids movie is made for kids so it should be appealing to them first and foremost right? in my opinion at least

anyway yeah i always like to keep in the back of my mind the opinions of my 10 year old self while watching childrens movies but like also. if i was 3rd grader in 2021 and i saw A New Generation i absolutely would have watched this movie a lot but specifically so i could play out a way more serious and melodramatic high stakes version of the story and worldbuilding with my toys as i was watching. i would have made the antagonist some big menacing shadowy king of whatever and there would be at least 4 main character death fakeouts (possibly an actually death but maybe they got brought back through the magic of pokemon tears or something). the main character would have been replaced with a talking cat with fairy wings (dont worry about it) who solves all the problems and gets all the magic powers ever.

so maybe i should take my 10 year old self’s opinions with a grain of salt? or maybe that kid was right. maybe that is what childrens media should be like

#i wrote a disney fairies fanfic exactly like that when i was like 9. talking cat main character included. she had every talent. #i think i still have the word doc somewhere jdksfjfsds i dont think i got past 1 'chapter' (2 paragraphs in 72 size font) tho #girl my tastes as a kid were so like dramatic. stop being quirky and cute mr cartoon character the evil lord is coming to kill us all #i didnt want any grounded in reality low stakes shit i wanted high concept high fantasy i wanted drama i wanted BLOOD #straight up i think the reason i liked bratz rock angelz more than any other doll based movies was cause the like climax? #in the subway with evil simon cowell was pretty intense so it like bumped it up for me despite it being relatively grounded. sorta #i dont remember a lot of specifics of that movie sorry fsdkjfk #anyway my thoughts on the new mlp movie: it seems fine #it feels incredibly dated like both musically and conceptually like a relic from 2018 and im not so sure about the character designs still #(i like it mostly but i dunno about the lips and how forward facing the eyes are. the heart hooves are great) #(the toy designs look okay but i wouldntve liked them if i was a kid. i didnt like g3 as a kid tho so like) #(take child me's opinion with a grain of salt lol i woulda liked g2 a lot and maybe g4... only the small ones (lps kid)) #(also i think hitch should have been a different colour or maybe a more green shade of yellow rn he looks too much like sunny imo) #it leans kind of heavy on g4 lore and im not so sure about that but maybe in the age of streaming it aint too bad #i know i definitely woulda found that fun as a kid like ooouuugh same world but like hundreds of years apart ouuuughhhhhh yes #what ruins will we explore....familiar ruins......loved that shit as a kid (and also now tbh) #the plot was pretty rushed since they were doing so much to set everything up in 90 minutes but eh its not the worst #the plot itself....not so sure about all these prejudice allegory fantasy stories chief. im sure they can be done well but man. #it is very easy to fumble the ball with this kinda thing. this one specifically didnt feel like the worst one ive seen at least #like i said i would have watched this movie a lot as a kid tho so yknow hdjklfjdskldf #like the thing is i would have noticed its a little weak in a lot of areas and i think because of that i would watch it specifically to #play out my own stories with my toys and flesh out the weaker parts with the little nuggets of worldbuilding they gave us #thats what happened with the first tinkerbell movie (its not a bad movie by any means but you gotta admit its the weakest) #(its like a tv pilot episode plot in movie form) when i was 8 like i knew it was flawed #kids can tell. but sometimes they like flawed stuff anyway dlksjfkdlsfd #and on the opposite end theres lots of kids media i think is very good and maybe i even like it now as an adult but like i would have HATED #as a kid like i did not like courage the cowardly dog as a kid. i didnt get it. i think its good now (although it still doesnt grab me orz) #and like i liked adventure time as a kid but i didnt like the direction it went it it was too mature for me #and man. steven universe is great. i would have loathed it as a kid jdksjfds too introspective for little me qwq #i dunno its interesting to think about sometimes! kids tastes can be complicated

Prologue / Part One / Part Two / Part Three

Masterlist

When you stumbled from a shadow cast by a nearby dead robot, you quickly scanned the area.

“Come on…come on…” you muttered anxiously as your eyes tried to find the person that was in danger.

“Help!”

The hoarse cry caught your attention and you immediately began sprinting towards the sound.

Skidding around a corner, way to close to where the Zero Pointer was steadily toppling buildings for your taste, you found him.

A Teen looked to be stuck under a pile of rubble where a building once stood and his quirk seemed to be out of control.

“Dark Shadow! Control yourself!” The black headed avian boy shouted at the strange bird like shadow that was coming from his chest, before buckling over in pain.

You ran towards them, silently swearing at the other students who were running away and not helping the injured boy.

Upon reaching where the boy was stuck, you smiled calmly at him, despite your heart racing as you heard the machinery of the Zero Pointer growing louder and louder.

“Hi, my Name’s [Y/n]. I’m going to help you get out of here, okay?”

You thought the teenager would be glad if someone stopped to help, but instead he just squinted at you in pain and growled out, “Get out of here! I can’t control Dark Shadow!”

Sparing a glance at the bird shadow thing, you saw in wonder that it seemed to have grown larger, it’s piercing yellow eyes gleaming with promises of darkness and pain.

“I’m not scared.” And you weren’t.

The kid seemed to pause as he took in your confidence and then with a grimace, he whispered, “Tokoyami.”

Smiling again, though more strained as you caught the gleam of metal glinting off sun as the Zero Pointer was barely a mile away now.

“Okay Tokoyami. I’m going to need you to trust me. I can’t dig you out fast enough, so I’m going to have to use my quirk. I’m guessing since you called your quirk Dark Shadow, that they are something to do with shadows and that’s why they are getting out of control, right?”

The Avain head teen nodded. 

You looked down to where his legs were pinned and took a deep breath, “Okay. I’m going to get us out of here, whatever happens, don’t let go.”

And before he could ask you what you meant, as the building next to you began falling as the Zero Pointer plowed through it, you grabbed his hand and pulled you both into a shadow and out of danger.

In the split second of traveling from shadows, you could feel the immense power from the dark teen’s quirk as it reigned without any restraints.

The scream of pain from Tokoyami pierced your heart but you made sure to keep ahold of him.

And then you were near the entrance gate and you yanked the kid out of the shadow, his quirk hissing from the bright sunlight and getting absorbed back into the kid’s chest.

You gently helped the kid down to the ground, his legs were pretty bad.

“That was quite the Quirk, [Y/n].” Tokoyami managed to get out between pants.

You managed a short laugh, “Yeah. Yours is pretty powerful too, Tokoyami.”

Before you could say anything else, a familiar voice called out, “Yamada! You can’t just run off like that on me!”

And then Shinso was there, looking more harried than when you left him, a short elderly women following behind him holding a cane shaped like a syringe.

“Yamada?” You heard Tokoyami’s whisper but ignored it in favor of greeting Recovery Girl.

“Hi Obaasan.”

The elderly woman who you regarded as your grandmother after spending countless nights being looked after her as a young kid right after being rescued and adopted, gave you a suffering smile.

“Always getting into trouble Young Yamada. Just like your Pa.”

Shinso gave you a strange look, “Obaasan?”

You grinned sheepishly, not saying anything, and just rubbed the back of your neck as Recovery Girl walked past you and gave a wet kiss to the Avian kid’s legs.

Shinso came up and offered a hand to the kid, who took it and climbed back to his feet.

Turning to you, his eyes shone with confusion, “Is Yamada your given name?”

Shinso’s eyes widened slightly and watched silently as you coughed in sudden embarrassment.

“Uh..yeah…[Y/n] is my first name.”

Shinso choked on a laugh, “He’s been calling you by your first name without realizing it?”

You felt heat rush to your cheeks and you began waving your hands in front of you erratically, as if you could wave off the embarrassment, “No! Wait! It wasn’t like that!”

Tokoyami watched with amused eyes and muttered, just loud enough for you to hear, “What a mad banquet of Darkness.”

At that Shinso completely lost it and began laughing so hard he almost fell over.

Once you managed to calm him down, all three of you realized the test was now over. Walking out of the Battle center, you felt the adrenaline wear off and the bruises and exhaustion settle in.

“Hey guys...let’s exchange numbers so we can let each other know when our letters come in.”

Both boys agreed and soon you were waving goodbye to your two new friends with a smile as you headed to the house, as agreed with your dad’s beforehand, that they would be at the school for a while after the tests ended.

Once home, you wanted to just collapse onto your bed, but knew you needed to take a shower.

Inu greeted you with a loud meows and began his many attempts at trying to trip you by winding around your legs as you got out of the shower and into your room.

“Inu!” You chuckled, reaching down, you hefted the giant black fluff ball in your arms and settled him on your bed as you crawled on it as well and opened your phone.

Future Hero Chat!

17:00 - ForeverTired: Are you guys as sore as I am? I swear I’m in pain in places that pain should never be.

17:05 - Birb: The complexities of the human body never ceases to amaze me as the vessels they are for our meager minds.

17: 08 - ForeverTired: Alright there Socrates. Yamada, you there?

17:10 - YaMad?: Yeah. You guys can call me [Y/n]...I don’t mind and would actually prefer it. Plus Tokoyami already has :)

17:12 - Birb: I should let the void eat me

17:15 - YaMad?: NO! Bad ‘Yami! 

17:19 - ForeverTired: Yami? You are a strange person [Y/n]. You call out Mr. Roboto, you talk to the kid with a villain's quirk, you help me get points, you call Recover Girl your Grandmother and you like being called by your first name.

17:22 - YaMad?: Yeah..haha...I guess I’m just ...Quirky..

17:25 - Birb: That hurt me to read...please never pun again.

17:27 - YaMad?: Aw...you guys know you tolerate me :)

17:30 - ForeverTired: I should have left you in that auditorium when I had the chance…

17:31 - YaMad?: But Ya didn’t!

17:35 - YaMad?: But seriously, if you guys don’t want me to call you Yami or Toshi I won’t…

17:37 - ForeverTired: When did I say I Cared?

17:38 - Birb: Your jokes and sweet manner are the light in the worlds’ darkness.

17:45 - Birb: Plus Fumi thinks you’re cute!

17:47 - ForeverTired: Uhhh…

17:48 - YaMad?: …

17:51 - Birb: I apologize, Dark Shadow took ahold of my phone.

17:53 - YaMad?: Oh! Isn’t Dark Shadow your quirk!? That bird shadow that you were having trouble during the exam?

17:55 - Birb: Yes. Dark Shadow is a living entity within me, and grows stronger and more hostile if exposed to darkness.

17:57 - ForeverTired: That explains so much about you…

18:00 - YaMad?: Toshi! Don’t be rude!

18:02 - Birb: I take it as a compliment [Y/n]. Do not worry.

18:05 - YaMad?: Oh! That reminds me that I never really explained my quirk! I have shadow manipulation! I can control the density of shadows, form them into weapons or anything else really, and I can travel by them, as well as an increase in Night Vision as a perk!

18:10 - Birb: That is a powerful quirk.

18:11 - ForeverTired: …

18:13 - YaMad?: Come on Toshi…

18:16 - ForeverTired: Brainwashing.

18:20 - Birb: Your quirk is quite amazing Shinso. I would assume it would be great for Heroics.

18:26 - ForeverTired: uhh…

18:29 - YaMad?: See! That wasn’t so bad! :) 

18:31 - YaMad?: Oh! My dads are home! I’ll talk to you guys later!

With a smile on your face, you exited the app and stretched your arms as you stood up, scooping up Inu who only meowed in slight irritation at being woken from his spot, you walked into the main room where you could hear your dads.

“This year’s candidates are so good! They make me want to scream!”

“‘Zashi… I will knock you out if you do.”

“Aww! Come on Shou! Don’t be like that! And [Y/n] was ama-”

Your eyebrows pinched together at your Pa’s abrupt cutoff, but rounding the corner told you the reason why.

Sighing, you scratched Inu behind the ears as you caught your dads attentions, “Dad...let Pa out of your gear before he suffocates.”

Hizashi was turning an alarming shade of red.

Grumbling something about ‘idiot loud blonde husbands’, Aizawa retracted his scarf.

Hizashi sucked in a large gasp of air and then dramatically ran to you, leaning on you like he was going to faint, “Can you believe your father!? He just tried to kill me!”

You smirked as you shook off your pa and walked to stand by your Dad, handing him the cat which he immediately put around his neck.

“I would too if you were just about to talk about the entrance exam that just happened and your kid just finished...who is not supposed to know the results until next week.” You quirked a brow.

Hizashi whined, “Traitors. My family is full of traitors.”

You giggled, “Alright Pa. What’s for dinner?”

As your parents began changing and preparing dinner, you took out your phone and sent a quick message to your two new friends…

18:56 - YaMad?: You guys want to meet up tomorrow?

Walking into the kitchen, you watched your dads bicker about what to cook before you interrupted with a cough.

With their attention on you, you suddenly felt nervous and glanced to the side so that you weren’t looking right at them, “Is it okay if I go hang out with friends tomorrow?”

Silence.

Your nerves built up.

And then… “SHOUTA! OUR KID MADE FRIENDS!” A blur of yellow and suddenly you were swept up and smothered in a hug as your eardrums were ringing from your Pa’s Quirk Outburst.

Despite the deathgrip Hizashi had on you, you managed to catch a glimpse of Shouta’s soft smile from where he stood.

[queencassiopeia6]

Take me back to the night we met

I had some big plans for that Thursday morning. I washed up, did my make up, straightened my hair and “casually dressed up”. My friend (let’s call her O) who had been out the country for the first time was coming home around midday, and I was rsponsible for picking her up. Well her boyfriend (let’s call him A) and I, but we weren’t well acquainted at that moment, we knew who we were, but not well at all, let’s just say that we knew what the other one looked like. I thought I had done a rather good job and looking nice that morning and with a smile I locked up the apartment, while stuffing my ear buds in, blasting my fave playlist and loading my new sunglasses onto my nose. A few moments later I had one of the biggest brain farts ever, that day was a national holiday and I didn’t check the bus schedule nor the route changes. I waited for almost 50 minutes at the bus stop before it hit me that I am going to be so late and it will be most embarassing, since I am supposed to be the responsible one in our friendship. When the bus finaly arrived I felt most relieved, all up until the conductor mentioned there is a route change due to roads being blocked off with the parade and the road will take much longer than usual. Was there a point travelling at all now? O might text me angrily while I am half way there and then it’s not much point driving further. I was beginning to sweat down the back of my neck. The slower the bus went, the more I breathed withmy mouth open, my lips went so chap (matte lipstick wasn’t any help either) that I began to gasp at some points. Thank God I am most always prepared for just about any disaster and had my giant water bottle with me, my chapstick and the wrist bands that I spin when I begin to panic. Which wasn’t all necessary since the moment we hit the highway - we jumped to hyperspace like the trusty Millennium Falcon. I got there with quite some time before her flight even landed and oh boy was I extatic no one saw my epic failure.

At first I didn’t wanna catch up with A, I am no good at akward conversations, and since him and I only hung out a few times prior to that day and she was always there to handle most of the conversation - you could see why I wasn’t all too keen on looking for him in the Arrival Zone. “O’s my friend, and they’ve been together for a while now, I gotta give this my best shot, for her sake”, that’s all that was repeatedly going on inside my head as I looked for a lanky blond fella. Spotted, looking just as elegant as ever and with a giant bouqet - damn my girl has some decent taste. Surprisingly A looked insanely relieved to see me, he left his seat to run up and give me a hug (almost took my head off while at it), I immediately felt better, his opening move gave me the reassurance that great minds think alike and that he too would like to have less space between us as friends. Turned out A’s been here for over an hour cause he’s just as tardy as our mutual target and was worried so much that he’s gonna be late to pick her up that he left the house hours in advance! Laughing about A’s mini nervous breakdown blew all the awkwardness that was ever there right out the window. The time flew right by, and before we knew it - O stepped out the gates and handed her suitcases over to us. After we exchanged pleasentries, we loaded into an Uber and drove to O’s place first (even though it’s the far far away of our town), which was actually a smart move since A began his work shift a few hours after that and he wanted to be manly and move everything from the cab to the apartment so we wouldn’t have to struggle with it later. While we unloaded, O quickly freshened upand oredred sushi to A’s work (which was our frequent stomping ground and we’ll call it LS) as we hopped back into the Uber to take him there to work and us to chill and catch up.

O and I had a lovely time smoking some excellent sheesha that A made us and munching on sushi as we talked about her time abroad and all the crap I got myself into whilst she were away. A’s coworker sat down with us at one point as him and I got properly acquainted (as we used to be less acquainted like I were with A) and had a lovely chat about some strong flavored tobacco (that I to this day can not handle). There was a booking on our table coming up and O offered we visit another place (Let’s call it LBB), where her frenemy (let’s call her M and they’re frenemies cause they dated the same dude at one point) worked, since O promised to stop by and if I were okay with it - we could chill there for the rest of the day. I didn’t have any plans that day not any clue to anything better to do, so we oredred another Uber and away we went. There was a small group of friends already there, all friends-of-friends and most were more that well acquainted with O. I met a funny but rather dramatic friend of Ms (let’s call her L) and their coworker, an eccentric young man (we’ll call him D). M immediately got my insta and followed me. The rest of the night was a tad of a blur, there was so much smoke, more sushi and loud laughter along with some intense personal stories travelling among the five of us. I too shared my recent ridiculous failure which brought much joy to everyone as not everyday you meet a 26 year old linguist with a kid of her own who just a fortnight ago fell off a scooter and is now a proud owner of a blue arm (just a wide haematoma) “which doesn’t hurt” but looks scary so I promised that tomorrow morning I will go and see a doctor (which yes I had not yet done, how irresponsible of me).

The next day, after my usual shift (from 8 to 2) I washed up, dressed up and went on a lovely sunny walk to the nearest Physical ER. Turned out the the place I was looking for was just a block down from LBB and I even thought about popping in to say hi, but as I waited in line to see a physician, thoughts about seeming clingy and being unwelcomed ate me up and I figured to better not show up uninvited. To be honest, this isn’t all that important to the story but I think it’s a quirky moment so Imma tell it anyway. The doc sent me to get an xray, explained to me that there must have been an air bubble or something that went inbetween my arm and shoulder socket when I blasted to the ground, and that’s why it were sore when I did certain hand movements. Also it turned out my elbow (which I had broken more than once while still young) had been twisted and that the haematoma was due to bone being shifted. He was shocked that I didn’t come to see him earlier. Offered me a cast, which I refused due to me not being able to do anything with it on. He put my arm back in place, prescribed me a bunch of drugs and told me to take it easy. I decided to walk the 8 blocks home since it was such a lovely evening. The sun was still high and shinning, it was nice and warn out and a fresh spring breeze was tangling my hair. Blasted some music and enjoyed an evening stroll.

The moment I got home O called me, “Get dressed, I’m coming to pick you up, we’re going to LBB”. Bro, if you had mentioned that an hour ago, I could have already been there, waiting for you. So we went. D and M were working their shift there and I immediately noticed that I didn’t pay any attention to a thing D spoke of last night, it’s like my brain had ignored him completely. Turned out we came here today cause it was D’s last day due to him travelling home (next town over) and paying his military dues. The four of sat and smoked and chatted and shared such good laughs, I was asked repeatedly to tell more stories of how I am the literal queen of distress, all the trouble I had gotten myself into over the years (boy trouble included). I was on the top of my chat game that night, I made jokes and flirted and at one point made D go into a hysterical laughing fit (I saw legitimate tears in the mans eyes), which was a tad awkward for a moment, as he was sitting next to me on the couch and at one point just layed on my knees while laughing. O and M, sitting on the couch across the table from us had an evil smirk on their faces. They whispered something to each while D was getting himself back together and then pointed us at one another and said that we have to get together now. Apperantly no one had yet gotten me to be so open so soon, and no one had made him laugh as hard as I had, ever. We all laughed over it and as O and I packed up to go home, I got his follow notification on my insta, kind of made me blush. On the ride to my place O mentioned multiple times how we’re a well made match (hey, we’re both phsycho) and that I should hit him up. But I am not one to do so, I would more likely die from a panic attack, than message a cute boy (yes I said it - I thought he was rather handsome and I just didn’t notice it before cause as I said I payed no mind to him the previous night) first.

The following weekend shall be a tbc :)
