#in part because I do tend to reuse concepts or backstories or details across my fics especially if I write anything else in the fandom

Just finished reading pez dispenser debris.

Firstly: crying, screaming, throwing up, ball’s to the wall insane. I am taking this fic between my teeth and shaking it furiously like a dog with its favorite toy. I am running circles in my enclosure just to bleed off some of the emotions this experience has given me.

Secondly: this fic is heart wrenching. All of the things I would’ve wished had been addressed in canon content of BNHA. How does Horikoshi throw away one of the biggest points that enraptures the audience into caring about Izuku? How does the narrative seemingly forget the entire reason he was so fervent in chasing his dream as a hero? I think this is one of the biggest gripes I have about the series, and it’s the one that’s only ever been remedied by amazing fic writers like you.

How do you face the part of yourself you’ve seemingly buried and forgotten? How do you come to terms with the fact that horrible things happened to you by no fault of your own? What’s the fallout of realizing that the people who should’ve cared and protected you might’ve also been hurting you all along?

Where do you even begin in this entire mess?

A part of me, despite the fantastical elements of the medium itself, feels so incredibly seen by this. It’s incredibly difficult, making amends with the part of yourself that was so deeply hurt in the past. It’s a part of life, i think, to learn to walk beside that part of you, to lay it to rest and acknowledge that it will always be there. Izuku, of course, has done none of this, and in this lies the crutch of the matter that’s the center of this fic. I’m happy I stumbled across this fic, even though I haven’t consumed BNHA content in years.

That being said, do you allow any works inspired by your own? I need to put down some of the emotional toll this fic has done to me on paper. Apologies for the ramble, i am just really passionate about this fic. Hope to see more of your work in the future!

I’m so so happy you like it! I wanted pez dispenser debris to be this horrible reconciliation with the part of you that was still hurt and mad about it, and I’m so glad that resonated.

And absolutely, go for it! I’m thrilled it made enough of an impact to make you want to make something too. I do usually ask that you stick in a note or link or something giving credit to the original fic, and if you’re comfortable with it, send me a link to anything you publish and I’d love to boost it here!

#pez dispenser debris #I’m sooo happy you like it #and if you do make and post any fics inspired by it please show me them I’d love to see them and reblog a link #so other people that follow me can see them too #I do generally ask that you stick a little nod into the original fic #in part because I do tend to reuse concepts or backstories or details across my fics especially if I write anything else in the fandom #(I do this egregiously with my daredevil fanfics) #and it saves me trouble from people thinking I lifted my own plots from other fics inspired by one of my earlier works #I’ve been doing fanfic on and off for a decade and it’s happened once or twice where someone’s messaged about lifting my own stuff #and I was always like ‘what.’ #it saves me trouble in the long run #there’s less confusion #but I am always thrilled when people like my stuff enough to want to create themselves #please go nuts and have fun and hopefully one day I get to read it too
