#she's not a good sibling and she's not a good person but he sincerely wishes he could find love and have children

Charmer, you said you wanted children? And since you said they can just be instantly made with a spell, why haven't you had any?
Tumblr media
The Charmer: Oh I've wanted to have kids since I first held the Cartographer and Curator in my arms after they were born, thousands of years ago. Collector babies are simply the cutest beings in all of creation. I want to have children of my own so badly, it's just…
Tumblr media
The Charmer: When the Coordinator was forced to take care of all of us after our parent was arrested, it was extremely obvious to me how much she struggled to care for all of us, especially the twins, who were children, and the Collector, who was a toddler. And the twins…they struggled with our youngest sibling, being around him made them upset and stressed out.
Tumblr media
The Charmer: Even though I want to have children of my own so badly, the timing isn't good right now. I know my job is something only I could do, and it wouldn't be fair to my siblings to force them to care for my children while I am busy interacting with mortals. It would be easier if I could just take them with me, but there are things that might happen that they shouldn't see until they're older, and it is not allowed.
Tumblr media
The Charmer: Don't tell the others, but sometimes, I wish some of our laws were different. I wish I could take my children with me on missions when there is no concern for them or the mortals, so I wouldn't have to put the responsibility on my siblings. And…I also wish we were allowed to fall in love.

Scout unspoken character development.
So you remember how Scout was absolutely struggling to work out how to ask Pauling on a date, and didn’t have the confidence he needed to do it properly? In Expiration Date?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*loud silence*
It makes sense that he’d struggle, because dating requires you to be more vulnerable emotionally and that’s like the last thing he ever wanted to do growing up. His brothers saw being emotional as a weakness, and he still thinks like that because those were his role models.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s why he didn’t help Spy with the last wishes. He’s still got that mentality that he’ll be seen as weak if he admits that dying in three days bothers him. But if he makes fun of Spy in front of the boys, Spy’ll be the one seen as weak, not him.
To date somebody, you have to admit that you’re attracted to them, if not in love. He can’t admit that part, which is why he tries to be causal about asking Pauling out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, even when he can tell that he made Spy furious, the awkwardness of that emotional situation makes him try to laugh it off and stay casual, not give him pause.
Tumblr media
How much you wanna bet that “I’m sorry”, usually said sarcastically or with fake sincerity is the best he’d get from any of his brothers growing up? No discussion beyond that about what the brother should be sorry for, just “I’m sorry” because Ma is making me apologize.
Tumblr media
That’s why he just moved on with his request for help, instead of going into a deeper apology and acknowledging why Spy is upset. He doesn’t know how. He doesn’t know that you’re actually supposed to, and he’s not a weakling for feeling that way.
Tumblr media
He can’t accept the weakness of being bad with women, even though that’s why he’s in the smoking room asking for advice. That’s why he lies about the ratchet girl at the chicken place, who probably never existed.
Tumblr media
What’s interesting is that the only thing he retained from his dad’s training was the dancing, which is an expression of emotions. He started out doing a casual, cheery boomer dance that doesn’t require a partner, with no risk of hurting somebody else if you mess up. But the dance Spy taught him requires you to be careful and move with another person, and is a lot more romantic.
But we know that music is something he loves, to the point that he hopes his favorite musician is secretly his dad.
Tumblr media
But that’s not the only important development he makes in this short.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scout doesn’t know how to respond to that, because if he ever tried to bring up what one of his siblings did to make him upset, they’d just laugh at him or say “I said sorry, what else do you want?”. But he cares about this woman and how she feels, so when she brings up what he did to make him say more than sorry, he can’t just move past it like he normally does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He got so close to spitting it out! But what we did get is good progress, because he had to be more honest than usual. If she was paying even the slightest bit of attention to him, she’d be able to see what he’s trying to say.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He’s trying so hard, she doesn’t even know. I hope that someday he finds a girl that does like him, because she sure as heck doesn’t.
What’s interesting is that we have voicelines that imply he’s getting less uncomfortable flirting, even if it’s in his usual Scout way.
youtube
He didn’t act ready to take his shirt off around her in Expiration Date. That’s Scout getting more comfortable around her. So is him playing her dorky board game that his brother’s would clown him for looking at.
You have to remember, Scout is the youngest and considered the runt of the litter by his stupid siblings. He acts like he likes the way his arms look in Meet the Scout and talking to Spy in the smoking room, but he’s always comparing himself to other guys. He wouldn’t take that shirt off around most people, is what I’m saying.
youtube
I hope someday Scout goes through the character development he needs to find a real girlfriend that likes him. [And also not rely on physique as a tool for flirting].

A thousands wishes: The betrothal. 
Tumblr media
Jacaerys valaryon x Female reader.
Notes: The reader is shorter then him. Her family lives across the seas in a kingdom which they rule, making her a princess. This is not my best work at all and I honestly hate it but I’m putting it out.
This is like a enemies to lovers…But it might in in angst and no lovers at all. You have been warned. 
Story warnings: Haven’t really proof read, mistakes and bad grammar, fighting, angst.
Tumblr media
Marriage wasn’t something you wanted, nor was it is something you stood against. When someone is to find the person they wish to marry whether it be for love or a agreed arrangement. All your life you are being told about the happy and miserable stories from marriage. It was something you almost feared at thought of being missable.
So this isn’t what you wished for.
Ever since you were a little girl you had your freedom to do as you liked, being the middle child you were able to be not as cared for or watched over as your siblings. In your growing up you took pleasure in the ways of the sword or the bow since it was your favorite, or never being able to put down a book when it was intoxicating.
But as of three months ago you found yourself being handed off to a man you had never met, in a kingdom you have never stepped foot in. Oh, how the gods were laughing at you. It was a marriage to combine the families, the family your mother knew when was a girl but you had no ties with them. And your father who thought it was a fair trade for such a man in high title to marry you even if he was a bit hesitant at first.
Two Royal blood lines. And who are they to refuse a good proposal?
The letter crumbled up into your hand as anger flooded within you. It was the letter the other queen had sent to your mother regarding your hand in marriage to her son. “You truly do not wish for me to marry him mother?” It was a plead of hoping it was a joke, a sick cruel joke.
“I have already sent my reply, you will be married to him soon enough. They have promise time for you to get to know him so that love might grow between you.” Her words spoken so light and lovingly, she must be happy to send you away to someone else.
“Why do you hate me so mother?” Standing upon your feet you could see the expression in her face flitter. “Why do you wish to send me away? I do not want to be married yet- Shouldn’t I get a say in who marry, why must you be so cruel I’m taking that away from me.” Your eyes began to over flow with tears of anger but your voice become soft and whispery.
“My dear girl,” She stood up from her taken set and placed a hand on your cheek as she stood close. “I do not wish to get rid of you. You are my daughter and one of the most important things in my life and that is why I must do this. I have spent years watching you be alone and closed off. I am hoping you find that within him and maybe then you do not have to be alone anymore.” Drying the tears from your eyes with her numb she brings your head down and gives you a soft kiss.
“Give this a try and it may surprise you but if it doesn’t work in the end we shall call it off.” The smile she gave you was sincere and one of a true loving mother.
One you have missed.
“I shall try.” 
֍ Wishes ֍
Remembering those words in your head as you walked into a room of strangers gathered to watch you and your family so closely. Holding onto your brothers small hand to make sure he doesn’t run away of cry though, it was you who needed to be reminded to stay.
Immediately you noticed a woman with long white hair smile as she sees the lot of you and then at your mother. She must be Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, the ruler of the seven kingdoms and to the iron throne but also your mothers old friend.
Soon they took each other in one another’s arms and the happiness they shared was easy enough to make you smile yourself.
“Welcome to Westeros, it is good to see you again my friend.” The woman glanced over to you and your siblings and soon her eyes landing on you and her smile grew.
“Is this Princess Y/n?” Your mother turned and gave her a nodded, “My second eldest daughter.” Your siblings moved out of the way as she stepped closer and towards you, she was beautiful.
“You are as beautiful as your mother claimed you would be, if not more.” She took your hands for a quick moment and for some reason you where actually relaxed at her presents presents. Her calling you beautiful made you feel pretty and believe her for a bit because she looked like a story book character by her looks. One of beauty.
“I wish you to meet my son, Jacaerys Valaryon. My heir.” She stepped out of the way and you looked behind her and saw a boy with brown hair step away from his siblings and over to you.
He was looking so soft at you that you felt like a silk blanket. “Hello, Princess it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Taken ahold of your hand he raised it to his mouth and gave it a soft kiss.
He was handsome and he was sweet at the touch. You almost fell for it.
“And I reciprocate that feeling my prince. May we learn about each other in the time we share.” Bowing your head with a smile, it was fake and you felt like pulling out your hair and running away from this place.
But you had to stay for your family and to at least give it a try. So after everyone was introduce you slipped away from him and over to your little brother and used him as a excuse to get away.
Now the halls have grown cold and the breeze from the night caused your skin to feel a bit cold. You wondered where the halls will lead you and if you could somehow find a safe haven in this place just to be alone.
Once you came to a darker hallway, it has a small corner it had a stone bench and a half wall to block it off. This was as good as any place to take a breather.
Jace seemed sweet when he glanced at you or the times the confusion on his face when you would walk away before he could get close to you. You almost felt bad for hating him so much, just the thought of being around him made something in your mind twist.
As you sat on the cold stone with your legs crossed and the knife you love being held in your hands. You ran you finger softly against the blade carefully not to cut yourself as you were lost in thought.
If only you had done something different you maybe wouldn’t be in this situation now: not being betrothed or forced to like someone in the eyes of others. Truly what a pity you feel for yourself, but maybe you were lucky to have such a nice man to marry but that’s not something you can justify.
“I do wish you haven’t be waiting to kill someone with that, princess.” He was there. The one person you wish to not see above all else.
“No one has come by.” Joking you look up to him with a bit of sass on your voice and he smiles and chuckles.
“As I am sure you could, I do believe that isn���t the reason you are awake at such a hour.” He walks closer and leans against the all next to you.
“I am thinking.”
“Care to share?” He was so…Charming by the way he spoke to you. But that only made you more annoyed. Wondering what he was truly finding and how many woman he has tricked.
“I do not think you wish to know.” You fully believed that you might hurt his feelings if you let everything out.
“I think it best to get to know how my wife will think-” he stop himself at the sight of you.
Lifting yourself up quickly and stood up with a look of anger and disgusted. You shielded your blade and walked over to him quickly and pointed a finger at his chest.
He was confused at your outburst and hatred towards him and only him, had he already done something to make you loathe him when he tried his best?
“I am not your wife, we are nearly betrothed and even then I am still not your wife until the wedding.”
“Have I done something to offend you so deeply? I apologize for calling you wife but this is more then just now.” You laugh at his words.
“I can see it in your eyes that you don’t truly mean anything, you might fool others but I will not be so easily tricked.” His jaw tighten and leaned up straight and looked down at you.
“You think of me as low as to do that? I am only trying to treat you well and get to know you, which you have avoided all day at the cost or even a word. How can you know my intentions if you do not wish hear my words.” He fired back with just as much as you did but that only sparked more of the flame.
“I did not wish to be here with you, non of it was my own doing. Maybe try being more quiet and standing far away from me when not needed,” Pushing him back a bit with the fingers against his chest.
“I will never ever love you.”
He did not know why those words hurt him such when he barely knew you. He also wished to be in a marriage for love and when he was a little boy he promised to make his wife feel loved and devote himself to her. A true gentleman would but how can he now as he watched her walk away with no interest in letting him be in her life.
He wished for chance.
She wished to be set free.

'Humans are dispensable.' (Maybe VD?)
A/N: Probably set sometime during season 1.
Tumblr media
“Humans are dispensable.” Damon said with a wave of his hand in a perfectly Damon manner. His words were tinted with a characteristic, couldn’t-care-less amusement as Stefan stood in the middle of the room, his fists clenching by his sides.
“She isn’t you, Damon,” Stefan said, the edge in his voice barely concealed by his slow, pronounced words. “She doesn’t pick the ones she loves for a good time. She doesn’t take them at face value. She doesn’t decide based entirely on whether they’re dead or alive.” 
“I do not do that!”
Stefan sighed. He shook his head and turned towards the stairs, his eyes softening when he noticed you sat at the top step. You’d rushed to your room after you’d returned from the hospital, but he would have been stupid to think you wouldn’t be lying awake on your bed, all senses attuned to the conversation occurring between your brothers downstairs. It was for that reason most of all that Stefan wished Damon could just listen for once with the same attentiveness and understanding he’d once possessed as a human. Apparently, their decades away from each other had given him no kindness in the way of emotions.
“Look, Damon,” Stefan ground out, “just leave it, alright? She doesn’t need this from anyone, let alone from you.” He stepped closer, his expression turning earnest as he lowered his voice, as though that would stop you from hearing. “Don’t mess around with her,” he whispered harshly, “you might be able to withstand that but she’s not. This wasn’t a random human she met on her walk home. His name was Scotty, and before you arrived here, they’d been together—together, Damon—for a year.”
Damon frowned, twisting his mouth in contemplation. “So...not dispensable?”
As Stefan had been gearing up to respond, yell something like “this isn’t funny” in his his face until he grasped the concept of compassion, he heard you race down the stairs. In a second, you were standing between them, your face, red and wet from crying, glaring fiercely up at the elder of the two.
“The only dispensable one here is you, Damon," you said.
Damon tossed both hands up, eyes growing wide. “Hey. Kiddo. Look…if I said something—“
“Said something? Damon, your entire being is worth apologising for.” Your voice shook with concealed fury. Damon spared a glance at Stefan, maybe a plea for help, but Stefan crossed his arms and stepped back, a clear ‘do it yourself’ motion. He had made his bed, and he needed to sit right in the middle of it and, for once, deal with the consequences of his words.
“Dispensable?” you continued. “Fuck you. Fuck you. He is the most indispensable person, human or vampire, that I know.” Your mouth fell open slightly and you took a deep, unneeded breath in before you corrected yoursel. “Knew.”
Damon blinked for a moment, his senses returning to him as he took in the look on your face and the totally, non-joking tremor to your words. He had a faulty habit of not treating serious things seriously, and vice versa. He crossed his arms and welcomed a sincere glint to his eyes. “You really liked this boy, didn’t you?” he speculated, an assertion, really, that had Stefan rolling his eyes and rubbing a hand against the back of his neck, so desperately wanting to say something but just as desperately willing this conversation to happen between his siblings alone.
You breathed an unamused laugh. “You can’t arrive here out of the blue and assume you know everything about me,” you said, then spun on your heel, throwing your head in your hands as you walked towards the couch and sat down. “I’m not the same as I was when you left,” you spoke quieter after a moment, her face hidden in your hands. “I…I loved…”
Stefan lowered his arms and moved to sit beside you. “Y/N…”
“Do you know what makes it worse?” you burst out, lifting your face from your hands to stare open-mouthed at the opposite wall. Damon stayed away for now, knowing he wasn’t the brother you currently needed. “It wasn’t even me that got him killed. Because that’s what I thought would happen, you know? I’m contagious, you’re contagious, we’re all contagious. Being a vampire is a transmissible disease. Any human we get close to ends up hurt or dead. And I…I expected that. I waited for that.” You bit hard at your inner cheek and filled your lungs with a deep and redundant breath, keeping your eyes from getting glassy with the tears you could feel coming. “But Scotty once said I was worth it. Worth his, a human’s, love. And I didn’t kill him! Nothing about me is why he’s dead!” You visibly deflated, not noticing as Stefan’s hand came to rest between your shoulder blades and Damon edged closer, eventually reaching the armchair across from you and sitting quietly down. There was something there now, Stefan could tell, and he felt relief flood him, knowing that they were, for at least the next ten minutes, the adults in the situation.
“I sensed the cancer before he got diagnosed, you know,” you said, and Damon knew you could only be talking to him. From what he remembered, Scotty Meredith had been diagnosed with terminal leukaemia a month or so before Damon had even returned to Mystic Falls, and today, three months later, it’d gotten him. Stefan had stayed beside you every step of the way, like the good brother he’d been since the day he’d turned you. Meanwhile, Damon had been...elsewhere.
Yes, you were speaking to him, and he pricked his ears this time and listened with the fullest intent of acting upon it.
“I tried to get to him to turn, because that’s the kinda desperate mindset I was in before you got here,” you continued, finally flicking your eyes up to meet Damon’s. “But he didn’t want to. And now he’s dead. So no, Damon, humans are not dispensable, and certainly not Scotty. Because he was the most necessary thing in my existence. I needed him—I need him. I want him. I really, really just want him here, but it’s not possible, ‘cause he’s dead, and I’m just...eternal—and it’s not fair—” Your eyes squeezed shut as words turned stiff on your tongue. Stefan wrapped his arm around you, shifting closer to you on the couch and pulling you into his side. You fell against him, turning your face into his shoulder and breaking into sobs both brothers could tell you’d been keeping at bay since you’d felt Scotty let go.
“Hey, hey,” Stefan spoke quietly into your hair, soothing you as much as he could. He glanced at Damon over your head, the both of you exchanging silent conversation with your eyes.
Damon sighed and straightened in his chair. “Scotty sounds...impressive.” That was all he could think of saying, but Stefan didn’t look to disagree, probably grateful Damon was even trying. “Sounds like I would’ve liked him.”
There was a silence in which Damon attempted to pass on another message to Stefan with his eyes, wondering whether he needed to say more or if he should just be patient, but Stefan ignored him, focused entirely on the sobbing girl in his arms. It was an odd thing, something that caused a swirl of jealousy to rear its ugly head in Damon’s gut when he remembered that he’d once been that person for you. 
You moved your head, residual sniffles muffled against Stefan’s shoulder. “I honestly think you would have gotten on well,” you said then, reaching up to wipe at your nose. “You’d both be capable of putting up with the other’s shit.”
Damon smiled in what could only be a feeling of victory. “Great minds, huh?”
You sat up, brushing hair from your face, and turned to face Damon. “No human is dispensable,” you repeated. “Everyone’s got their place in the world. I did love him. We were real.”
He nodded. “I know.”
“I miss him.”
“I know.”
“And you’re an absolute asshole.”
Damon laughed, bumping an eyebrow. “I know that too, yeah. Come here, you.” It was an instinctive order, something he’d repeated hundreds of times in their human years, and he’d said it on an impulse, opening his arms and falling back against his chair. You faltered, remaining where you were, and he grimaced, sitting back up and dropping his arms. He looked at Stefan. Stefan urged him with his eyes, pressing his lips together in a tight line.
“Y/N, kiddo...” Damon leaned forward, lacing his fingers on his knees. “I’m sorry. For everything I said, and probably will say. It won’t be on purpose. Just...takes a while for me to understand.”
You nodded. “I know,” you said, and you did. Damon could be especially considerate when he took the time to understand, he simply needed to get back into so-called family life. He’d been away for too long.
You leant your head against Stefan for one more moment before standing. Damon sat back again, opening his arms, and you couldn’t help but sniffle and laugh, reaching up to wipe at your eyes just as Damon grasped your forearm and pulled you onto his lap. You drew your knees towards you and curled up against his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. This new comfort, something you’d needed just as much as the hugs from Stefan, caused a fresh wave of emotion to rush over you, and you turned your face into him as you had Stefan. Damon glanced at Stefan, who shook his head.
If there was one thing a vampire could still find a struggle, it was their baby sister’s tears.
“We got you, Y/N,” Damon whispered. “Always.”

Yandere!Damian Wayne x Reader Pt.8
Tumblr media
⚠️Warning⚠️: False Hallucinations And Swearing
🇺🇸Word Count🇺🇸: 1,564
👾Characters👾: 8,563
As Steph raced out of the room pulling you with her, you could only begin to think about that chauffeur, that had acted so-so….. weirdly. You just hoped that nothing paranormal was going to happen. Little did you know that this wasn’t going to be about a ghost. But simply some people who you assumed were your friends. But tomorrow was only day 2.
************************************************
The eclipse was beautiful. The stars seemed to shine bright, and the breeze made it seem like you were in a movie. Like the people on the other side of the screen were watching. Maybe there were people watching. Or someone?
Once your, yet again, blaring alarm woke you up you put on your uniform. Time to indoor some more Damian time. This time your on core was Digital Media. As Mrs.Harper introduced herself to you, she assigned you and Damian a stop-motion project. As the end of the period rolled around Damian had invited you to his dorm to work more on the Digital Media project and other project that you needed help with. Pft-As if.
Then came English with your project. Then came a math. You weren’t exactly the best at math, and Damian, had of course, saw your reaction to the upcoming test. And as the gentle man he decided to be, he offered to tutor you, and for some reason you expected.
Then came study hall with Damian. Ryan lunch with Cass and Jason. Then came History about the residence period (I loveeeeee Anne Boleyn). Then lastly came science with involved you guys turning a light bulbs electricity noticeable from the inside of the glass top.
But as you were walking towards your locker to put your books into, a note fell out. As you opened it, you were astonished to find what was inside of it.
Too my dearest beloved,
I’ve seen you. Far too many time. I know that what I’m doing is wrong, but I find myself unable to stop. You are a true beauty, and since I’ve seen you, I can’t stop trying to see you wherever I go. I sincerely apologize for not saying who I am, but I want you to love me when you’re ready. Without a rush. You will come to find me as your love. And I will stop at nothing to get us to that point. Yet, I do wish for you to keep this letter a secret. I don’t knows how curious you are when it comes to mystery's when they come you way, but I ensure you that this mystery is worth keeping till I chose to reveal myself. I love you Y/n. It might sound overbearing, but it’s true. When you do fall in love, I’ll be here waiting to take you to your real home. You have till the end of the week, and then I will make my move. As much as I wish for you to not know who I am right now, an opportunity comes my way. You have till Sunday night to figure out who I am. Each day you will put ONE persons name on a note, and put into your locker. Each day I will check. And the more you decide to ignore my letters, the more likely it is for you to be taken to your real home, which from my father, mother, and siblings experience isn’t very fun for the person being cared for. You might be wondering, “why would he love me, but give me the opportunity ‘escape’ his grasp”. Well it’s because I know this is wrong, but, I simply do not care. I love you, beloved. And good luck. Your going to need it, if you ever want to see your friends and biological family again.
Love, your secret admirer
What the actual hell?! Who was this person?! And you made a smart decision. To report this to the principle. Mr.William’s had scared him into submission, so maybe he wouldn’t be as insolent towards you. Hopefully. As you made your way upstairs, completely ignoring the fact that Damian and you were suppose to be studying in his dorm, you made your way to the principles office.
”Oh, greetings Ms.L/n. What shall I help you with this fine evening”? He question sickly sweet.
“I think I’m in serious danger” You said seriously as you placed the note on his desk. “Read it”.
As he looked over the note, his expression didn’t seem to hold nervousness…..but more like, he expected it. As he folded the note, he sighed.
“Y/n… I’m sure this is nothing too serious. I think this might be a prank…. Don’t worry about anything” he said calmly.
“Are you kidding me?! Whoever this is threatens to kidnap me! How is that fine?!” You said angrily.
“I’m afraid there is nothing I can do. And it is quite inappropriate to raise your voice at a principle. I will expel you, if this behavior continues. Do I make myself clear”?! He exclaims.
“Fine! I’ll report this to the authorities. Let’s see how they feel about you nothing taking this clear as day threat seriously”! You argued back.
“I’m afraid you can’t do that without a phone” he said grinning.
“What are you talki-“ You said confused reaching into your pocket for your phone. But you couldn’t find it. You couldn’t find it?! “What did you do with my phone”?! You asked angrily.
“I didn’t do anything” he said still grinning, but emphasizing the “I”.
“Fine! I’ll just use someone else’s then”!
“Good luck finding someone who will lend it to you” he says as he put his feet up on his desk ask you stormed out of the room.
What a dick! Didn’t he see what could happen to you? But then again, he was quite insensitive when you both first met. Which would explain why he wouldn’t care if you were to go missing. Or even die!
As you stormed out of the office you encountered Damian. Oh my god! You had totally forgot about him!
“And where were you”? He questioned sarcastically.
”You’ll never believe it! Someone put a threat note in my locker! I tried telling the principle about it but he completely brushed it off! And when I told him I would call the police he did something to my phone and I don’t have it!I could die and he wouldn’t have a care in the world! What a prick”! You answered angrily.
“Mhm” he said sarcastically with a raised eyebrow.
“You don’t believe me! How could you not! I have proof! I have the lett-“! Damn it! You had left it in the principles office.
”Y/n, are you feeling well? You’re burning up”? He asked concerned. How could he be worried about a fake sickness, when your life was at stake!
“Of course I’m fine! I’m not sick! I-I-I need your phone”! You screeched out loud reaching for his pocket.
“Y/n….you need some rest. We’ll talk about this later” he said softly as he lifted you up bridal style and took you up to his dorm.
“But your note listening to me! I could die or something, and no one’s taking me seriously”! You spit back angrily.
“You need to rest. Once your done we’ll talk about it” he said again slightly getting….madder!
As he carried you up to his dorm he plopped you onto his bed. Then you began to take in the rooms appearance. His bed was an extremely silky, green bed with golden accents. His walls were a gray with paintings that had to have cost thousands! And on the big push pin board, there were peoples faces! And there was a thin string that was tied onto the pin sticking into the persons face. Hopefully that was for school….
“You rest, I’ll work on the project” he said quietly why’ll pulling his blankets up to your cleavage.
“I don’t want you to do all of the work you know”. You said with a light smile plastered onto your face.
“You need to rest”. He said slightly smiling back.
As you slowly shut your eyes and gripped the blanket tightly, you began to fall into the best sleep of your life.
##############################
You woke up to a bright light forced into your E/c eyes. And you could hear people muttering. You instantly went to cover your face and lift yourself up out of the bed. And you were shocked to see Jason, Mr.William’s, Damian, Tim, Cass, Steph, and two unfamiliar faces.
“Oh good! Your awake. How do you feel”? A nurse questioned.
“Tired”. You shrugged back.
“What happened”? You questioned while looking up at Damian.
Mr.William’s was the one who spoke up. “Damian said you were burning up, and some talk of a threat note. The nurse hasn’t found any note on you or in your locker”. Mr.William’s spoke softly.
“The principle has it”! You said defending yourself.
“We, um, talked to him about the note, Y/n. He doesn’t know where it is, and claims you never brought anything up to him about it”.
“He’s lying! I-I-I talked to him about. He read the note! And-and he didn’t give it back”!
“Fine! If none of you are going to help I’m leaving this school”! You said angrily while hoping off the bed.
“I’m afraid you can’t. You did sign a contract after all”. Mr.William’s said. Damn that contract. But you couldn’t go against the richest school in all of Gotham! So as you made your way downstairs to your locker you put a note in it that read “Tim”. After all, you heard from Cass, that he was creepy.

You’re not boring me! With just a peek into the fandom with its writers and artists like you, I could never be. It’s a good thing that blogs can give new perspectives that make media feel fresh again. I asked about David out of sincere interest, especially since the eilander siblings always seemed so tragic
Thanks for the link though! I never knew that he wrote a apology letter to Dale though! The fact that David is remorseful for his actions makes me realize I should have given his character more introspect. Hopefully in the next game, Dale can come to terms with his parents death by reconciling with David, or at the very least understand why he did what he did—That poor detective boy deserves closure. And maybe David knew that something about Dale would be different. They're both special cases of corrupted souls (You explained with David in your link, and Dale seems to switch in and out of his normal self and corrupted soul when leaving the Lake). When he gets the golden cube to hopefully save himself from repeating the same cycle of violence and tragedy by changing his future, maybe he can change David's future too from forever being a wandering corrupted soul This is long and let me know if I have any facts wrong, but aaaa I just love all this
Yeah he did write a letter to Dale :D
Here it is:
Tumblr media
He is remorseful but he also wanted to save himself so I totally get it. I wouldn't wanna be a corrupted soul either
And I agree that the Eilander siblings are so tragic. They were simply born into this sorta life, none of them asked for this but alas. They are just doomed by the narrative. It hurts me to think about them, of how Jakob and David never got the chance to form a bond because they didn't have the time to be brothers and David never really knew him. The only truly innocent collateral I feel tho is Elizabeth. She never harmed anyone. Tho she did get to be reborn as the Lady of the Lake now I suppose while David is the one out of the three siblings who for whatever reason was never allowed his reincarnation.
But David is resilient and has escaped death before. I'm sure he has more tricks up his sleeve. He's a magician after all.
As for him and Dale... Boy, that's a whole new can of worms you're opening up. They're my fav and the idea of them reconciling is the topic of most my art and comics of them. A slowburn with so much angst and pain but also hopefully healing, because a part of me thinks that's what Rusty Lake is all about... Healing from traumas. If the two of them just had the chance to meet again and work things out 😭
Dale IS special. He is meant to be the successor of Mr. Owl. And I suppose we will see if he will repeat the cycle or do something different. Mr. Owl wants Dale to get rid of the corrupted souls underneath the lake so I assume that means it's his fate to... Idk? Kill them?? Cleanse them??
Tumblr media
But do hope on his journey to do that, that he can meet David one last time for them to put their differences aside... Or idk Dale has the upper hand here, if he wants revenge at that moment he could probably have it.
Tho I hope he doesn't. I hope they make amends, cuz at the end of it all, they're both just pawns for the lake and victims of it all the same. They were both put into these situations under unforgiving and unfair circumstances and they sorta just have to play the hands that they are dealt. 😔
I did talk about this before too but a part of the tragedy of Dale and David is David grew up with a lot of trauma without a mother. He knows what it's like to be in the position he later puts Dale in. Hurt people hurt people, and he repeated the cycle of trauma by putting Dale through it. They'd have an understanding but it would be funny to go "yeah I know how it feels" WHEN YOURE THE ONE WHO PUT THE OTHER PERSON IN THAT SITUATION!
Or maybe all this is just my wishful thinking 😩 I just know I want them to reconcile so bad cuz Dale tried killing David but it didn't fix him. If not revenge, then maybe forgiveness is what he needs to truly heal and move on.

oh i got one. For context this is a reference to the Oh my goddess anime.
Basically, VM accidentally summons their S/O who is a goddess and the forgotten/unknown younger sister of the Everlight. Who despite being just as powerful as her chooses to work a type of service job in heaven where gods and goddesses bring happiness to the mortals especially to those who are good hearted but have faced terrible misfortune and grants them one wish.
And there are no take backs. (and they could wish for anything. And I mean anything. Wealth, power, infinite knowledge, resurrection etc.)
And VM did not believe her on who she said she was and so they idiotically/jokingly/sarcastically said that they wish for the S/O to stay by their side forever. And the wish stuck, much to their dismay when they later realized that she was being truthful. And now the S/O is forced to stay on earth with them.
However, it kind of resulted in the Everlight coming to earth for a visit in her physical form since she's a bit overprotective of her younger sibling and is not happy about the wish.
This would be so ironically cute and completely in character for them!! 😆 😂
So…you’re kinda now their personal god. Frankly there’s lots of things they could say but Vox Machina is still trying to get their head around it. Yes, you’re the Everlight’s sibling (which you never made a big deal out of), but the circumstances in which you were here with them weren’t the most ideal. On top of your elder sibling’s interference in bringing you back to your place beside her, you still insisted on helping the campaign despite the mistaken surprise wish. What could go wrong?
Percy - your dynamic is the epitome of “grump fell in love with the sunshine”, he’s apprehensive and not 100% trusting of you at first, but then again you’ve got a sense of wit and humor so his sass and sarcasm has met it’s match. During the events with the Briarwoods and Ripley, there’s a new element to your relationship: you don’t think lowly of him for wanting revenge, for his weapons or actions, showing him all the more to live for, and that the best peace for him and his family is to heal and open his heart to love of his friends and others
Pike - at first she thinks she has to watch her step around you, given her Patroness and all, but you like to casually remind her that you’re not your sister so it’s ok; if her amulet ever cracked (along her brief identity crisis), she does appreciate how you’re there judgment free as she freely rants about her loyalties to her duties but also her friends that she cares about; always listening to her, building her up, helping her be her best self
Grog - you appreciate his bluntness at times and find him funny; teasingly refers to you as “Big Pike”; follows you and Pike around majority of the time and thinks you’re powers are awesome; at first he was like “wait can I change my wish??!” but then you stuck around and he just got used to you; at first he felt a bit jealous Pike spent more time with you but sees you want him around more often, which is reassuring to the barbarian
Scanlan - kind of catches himself when he’s near you, but the bard’s amusing to you and every so often you offer a light chuckle at jokes/songs; but in the more sincere moments, it weighs heavy on him that a god’s sibling stands with them; every tavern and town you go to and he does his number to introduce the group, he always likes to laud you the most with his trademark wink and smile
Keyleth - not as apprehensive as Percy but still doubtful, especially when you two talk and she mentions her mother ever now and then; it may not be much to her now, but you offer her a slight reprieve with the knowledge that you know her mother is safe; over time, your relationship grows stronger as her magic gets more powerful and you help her become more sure of herself; “if I had my choice in a different life as an Ashari, I’d want you as my leader too”
Vex’ahlia - you two click the most, given her pseudo leadership position, but knowing how fickle some gods can be, she’s can sometimes be a bit (understandably) distant. That all changes after many of the trials they have to go through: helping Percy though his ordeal, avenging her mother against Chroma, helping with her success of the Grey Hunt, Vecna, and the leverage loophole to be close to/with Vax if the Matron of Death tries to summon him; you never doubt each other’s loyalty and are never far
Vax’ildan - protective of his sister and a bit wary of you, but starts to come around when he sees how Pike gets along with you. After all he did carve your sister’s sigil into his glove before liberating Whitestone. And you’re there for him when he grapples with the aftermath of Chroma and saving his sister’s life; your dynamic is one where he can be completely open with you and you’re a comforting/reassuring presence when the emotions are too high or if he’s called away
If Everlight tried to get you back, good luck trying to pry seven members off you

Lloyd wasn't the spoiling sort of sibling. He wasn't very good at it, nor did he really believe it was a good thing to do. Getting something that was supposed to be special too often made it...less special, in his eyes. Linus had never really needed to be spoiled -- he liked attention and to be involved with things, and that had been easy enough to accomplish. Even if he was fantastically annoying at times in their younger years.
But Nino was not the same sort of child that Linus had been. She was gentle and immensely positive, though there was an insecurity there that hid in the long shadow cast by her otherwise sunny personality.
And so, while he didn't particularly think it was a good idea, Lloyd had never stopped Linus' doting on the girl. He was guilty of it every now and then himself. But he tried to steer it towards helpful things, where he could. Gloves and boots that could handle the weather in the mountains of Bern, replacement tomes for when she was practicing her magic or simple books that she could enjoy.
But, right now...It was just a gift to be able to spend time with her again. To see her safe. To know that she has a future that she has a say in.
"You know," Lloyd hummed, letting his gaze shift from the slowly fading sunset to the young girl beside him. "I never knew too much about magic before coming here. I knew of it, read about it, but...never thought to try it. Maybe, if you'd like...it's something we could explore together. You have a great talent for it -- a natural one, which I do not -- and as your brother...I would like nothing more than to see you grow into it and make it your own. Not hers, yours. I want to see you bloom, dear sister."
“Really…?” Nino fidgets a little in her seat, nerves coloring her tone despite her best efforts. Being able to spend an entire day just with Lloyd is a rare treat indeed, and she'd hate to say something wrong and ruin it. But magic — it had been such a rarely broached topic within the family. Her mo— she had never come right out and said that Nino wasn't allowed to talk about her own powers (though she'd made her opinions on Nino's lack of any positive qualities painfully clear), but there had always been the ever-present sense that magic is something different, something to be set apart and kept quiet about.
It had made her feel special, in a way. It allowed her to continue wishing and waiting, that maybe, maybe, one day she could do something that Sonia would finally approve of, would love her for.
(It never happened. But it kept her hope alive, kept her alive, for better or for worse.)
But the sincerity in Lloyd's words reach into her heart like a balm, settling her after the initial bout of nervousness. Now that she’d finally, with the help of Jaffar and then Lyn and Eliwood and the others, been able to have a taste of the freedom so long denied her… she is allowed to be freer with her magic, these days. She's just gotta keep reminding herself of that. Nino takes in her brother's kind words, cups them in her hands like a treasure, and tucks them away in a warm corner of her heart. So long as he believed in her, she would bloom for his sake...!
“That’d make me really happy, Lloyd,” Nino says, with a smile gradually blossoming into confidence, sitting up and turning fully towards him as an idea pops into her mind, "Maybe... maybe I can show you how to commune with spirits first! There's a lot we can learn from them if we spend a lot of time with them..." It's the furthest thing from what Sonia had done, after all, which means it must be the best step to making magic her own.
...Maybe just a little later, though. Nino settles back down and, after another extra moment of hesitance, she lets herself wiggle closer to her older brother until she is leaning against him, his solid presence a comfort she'd never known she would have the chance to experience again until she had arrived in Garreg Mach. "I'm happy no matter what we do, though," she says quietly, closing her eyes. As long as Lloyd could stay here, and she could still see him, spend time with him...
Like always, the love of her family would always be what Nino hopes for the most, in the end. With her brothers here, maybe the wish isn't so far out of reach after all.

Hi! I hope you're having a good day today! Could I ask for some bonding fic/or headcanons between Gabe and Mari? Their sibling relationship is very cute. I still wish it was more developed in the game.
okay, this is adorable :') here you go!!!
When they were kids, Gabe was the troublemaker.
Somehow.
He was a quiet, angelic baby,
A noisy and energetic toddler,
A chaotic child,
And a nervous quiet teen.
But when he was little, his favourite thing was to drive his sister crazy.
And boy did he.
Stole her toys? Just to see her get mad.
Steal the backyard swing she was running towards? Oh yeah.
Tugged at her hair? Every day.
Messing with her was his favourite thing to do,
Because he loved seeing her flustered and mad,
But he also loved knowing she was stuck with him for life,
Just like he was stuck with her.
As they grew, their roles shifted.
It was Mari's turn to drive him crazy.
"What are you so dressed up for?" She asked one morning.
The two were in the kitchen, eating breakfast before school.
"What do you mean?"
"Look at you," Mari said, smirking.
Gabe wasn't wearing his usual baggy jeans, beanie, and jacket.
He was wearing a nicer shirt,
Clean black jeans,
And shoes without holes in them.
Mari's eyes sparked up. "It's for a girl, isn't it?"
"Oh my God, Mari."
"It is!" Mari beamed. "I knew it."
"Shut up," Gabe groaned, grabbing his bag and heading out the door.
He'd skip breakfast that day.
Anything to get away from Mari for a second.
Mariana could read Gabe like a book.
She almost always knew what he was thinking.
Almost always.
One day when doing the dishes, Gabe tossed an ice cube down the back of Mari's shirt.
She squealed and jumped,
Soap bubbles going everywhere,
Before she turned and glared at her older brother.
He smirked and scurried away,
Leaving her to clean up the mess.
Despite the hijinx, they were always around and there.
Given their family life, they needed to be.
A messy divorce,
Dad getting a new girlfriend,
Another wedding,
And a step-mom.
It was too much sometimes.
Sometimes they just needed to be.
"Hey," Gabe said,
Knocking on Mari's door and letting it creak open.
Mari was laying on her bed,
Knees curled into her chest,
Scrolling mindlessly through her phone.
Gabe raised a brow. "You okay?"
Mari glanced at him,
Hesitated,
Then dropped her phone on her mattress and shook her head.
He closed the door as quietly as possible,
Scooting inside,
And sitting on the floor in front of her.
Mari raised a brow back at him.
Gabe smirked. "What, you think I don't want to know?"
"Yeah,"
Gabe snorted.
Gradually, his face melted into something more sincere.
More understanding.
"I'm always down to hear some good gossip."
Mri gave a meek smile, knowing he was right.
Gabe loved to hear a good, juicy story.
"It's been a hard day."
"Why?"
Mari closed her eyes and sighed, burying her nose into her pillow.
"Kate."
Gabe blinked. "What's wrong with Kate?"
"She's being all 'mom-ish' again."
"Is that bad?"
"No," Mari sighed. "That's the problem."
Finally, she was willing to lock eyes with her brother again.
She could see the confusion in his eyes.
"I feel bad that I don't want her to. I want our, mom. But I know that it isn't possible."
She looked away again, watching Gabe's foot bounce.
"I don't want change."
Gabe gave a sappy smile. "I get it," he sighed, "I feel the same."
Mari looked back up at her brother.
She immediately felt the stress release from its hold on her chest.
"It's okay to feel bad about it. It's okay to feel it."
He offered her a meek smile.
"It's only human."
Mari didn't know how, but Gabe could be both the most annoying person on the planet,
And her favourite,
All at the same time.
He just got her.
She just knew him.
They needed that now more than ever.
𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘮 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 💌☕️♡

Hello friend :) For oc asks I would like to see 7 and 10 for Scend, 4 and 8 for Sang, 22 and 38 for Maul, and 29 and 40 for Melt (If this is too many feel free to only answer one xD). And questions for creator how about E for the Rough Darling besties and B for Cerberus if that's okay :D Thank you!
Hi i wrote a lot so here is a read more for the oc questions
Tumblr media
scend
7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
seeing her puffs of breath in cold air is enough to make her a little nostalgic. she grew up ice skating, but she hasn't picked it up again in years, despite swearing that she will. scend doesn't necessarily enjoy it, but she doesn't dislike the nostalgia. it's just a feeling that exists for her. 
10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
scend is a person who places a lot of importance on their relationships, especially because they base their identity almost completely on the relationship at hand. when she was married to melt, she always felt like she was lying whenever she responded with "i trust you." she would often have episodes of idealizing and devaluing her mental image of melt, so stating absolute trust in her spouse would be an empty white lie at times. it haunts her, but scend does not care to admit it. a part of her believes if she does, she'll completely ruin the idea of "trust" for herself, making her unable to promise it to anyone anymore. 
— — 
Tumblr media
sang 
4. How easy is it to earn their trust?
it's easy for sang to trust others, mostly because if people take advantage of his trust, sang knows he's at least physically strong enough to deal with the consequences. sang also has the mentality that trusting others and being open about it will yield something good for him over time, so he'll place his trust in others and see what happens. 
8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
both sang and maul grew up as inseparable siblings, both because of their initial emotional bond and because of constant comparisons by their mother. their mother sought to raise them as prestigious ballet dancers starting from their childhood, and because maul had more drive in his practice, their mother would tell sang to start being more like her older sibling. maul became aware of the high expectations set on him by his mother, and so, he would tell sang to stop following him around everywhere. 
this results in sang's push-and-pull dynamic with maul, which lasts into adulthood with sang constantly picking fights with maul. 
— — 
Tumblr media
maul
22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? 
maul becomes incredibly confused. he's a very touch-starved person, but mostly because of his own restraint and self-cockblocking. so when he gets jealous when a romantic interest is involved, he'll become more aloof than he already is and question if his romantic interest's sincerity with involving him. 
("you... want me to go with you? what can i do?"
he means to say "what could i even offer in this scenario?", but he is usually short with his words.)
38. What memory do they revisit the most often? 
he remembers bits and pieces from his childhood with sang. in one memory, he and sang were in ballet class, and in the middle of practice, sang hurt his leg. feeling responsibility as her older sibling, maul requested that both of them leave practice early with the additional note to not contact their mother. maul and sang head out, with sang leaning on maul, to the park just outside of the performance center and laid on the long grass together. sang would tear up grass to put on sang's leg while the younger child rubbed at her eyes to avoid crying. not a talkative child, maul patted sang's leg in reassurance until the sky turned orange. when sang calmed down, they both mindlessly picked clover flowers together before their mother retrieved them. 
in their adult age, maul wishes he could reassure his younger sibling that things will be okay again. 
— — 
Tumblr media
melt 
29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals? 
melt is a person who strives to ease into a version of himself that finds it easier to talk to other people, and he'll find some kind of good in his progress. he doesn't believe that he reaches his utmost potential, but he'll give himself credit where it's due. 
40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
melt is somewhat sensitive about his flaws in that he gets embarrassed about them. he knows he's painfully reserved in that he usually considers only himself and giving himself the bare minimum. however, he's trying to better himself for his daughter to give her the ample love she deserves and to set a better example for her. he understands that he's been with his flaws for a long while, and that it will take time to overcome them. so even though melt will become embarrassed at his introverted nature, he's willing to forgive himself. melt just wonders how many times he'll have to see himself stop short of his ideals, though.
this isn't a main motivation, but it also helps to know someone who is (endearingly) worse at being social than himself (maul). 
— — 
Tumblr media
rough darling 
e. Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
i think they're all endearing in their own way haha, though i'm a pretty introverted person. i think it would be kind of hard for me to talk to sang, since sang is sort of the guy to be passive in a conversation (unless she has a goal in mind) and i'm very much an active listener. maul might be kind of difficult too bc he just does not want to talk to people, but maybe maul + melt + i can have some kind of solidarity as former art majors. scend and i might get along too, since we both like (egl) fashion
as for if they'd get along with me, maybe? like i said, i'm very much an introvert haha
— — 
Tumblr media
cerberus 
b. What inspired you to create them?
mecha musume have cool designs, and i was like huh. what if i drew a mecha musume (gender ambiguous). when i was doing concepts for cerberus, i had a whole list on mfc of mecha musume figures i liked lol

The Beginning Chapter 5
Summary: Those with a uterus have it hard in modern society, pre or post quirk. It’s even harder in a post-quirk society, however. Especially when the person in question has the ability to have a child who’s quirk is just like or stronger than the other parent’s. For a girl like Izumi? It only takes one nurse to diverge her path from what destiny wrote. Now, forced to make the borderline unethical work to protect her, the choices she makes will mean everything.

 The emails started a day after the meetings. Izumi sent a general one out, talking about how it was nice to meet them (excluding Keigo) and how she was happy to continue to get to know them. Izumi sent them off with a hopeful heart, wondering how the rest of the year would go. It was only November, after all!
NOVEMBER
Tokoyami
… I finally understand why my parents never sent me to a public school. From your stories, they seem to be full of horrific bullies and tormentors. Though I admit, homeschooling is a hard battle, even with the group I have. All of us have mutations or volatile Quirks, which band us together but also sets us apart even from one another, as none of us are similar. 
 Would you ever go to a different school?
Sincerely, 
 Tokoyami Fumikage

Hello Tokoyami, 
 I don’t know about a different school. I’ve been going to this one for a long time, and I find myself nervous about the idea that I would leave. I know that none of the kids are really friendly, but I can’t let that stop me! Maybe I’ll go to a different middle school than Aldera, but I don’t know if it would be worth it. It’s really expensive, and even with the money we have saved, it’s not always an option. 
 I know that homeschool groups like yours are common but do you guys get taught by parents or by actual teachers? It sounds very different…
Todoroki
…I have managed to create water while training today. My father appeared both pleased and very upset. I think he wished for me to truly have half of his Quirk and my mother’s. Fuyumi, my sister, however, became worried about hearing of my possible Chimerism and booked me a doctor’s appointment. 
 Thank you for informing me of the possibility; it is very pleasing to see the old man so annoyed.
Todoroki
-
Hello Todoroki,
 I had to rewrite this twice because I kept gushing. It is SO COOL that you can create water; this totally proves you’re likely manipulating the oxygen in the air. Or, you know, using both halves simultaneously, but I think you’d have to press your hands together in that case. I hope everything works out at the appointment!
 What is it like having siblings? I’ve never had anyone other than maybe Kacchan, who used to be my best friend, but he got really mean and cruel when I was found to be Quirkless…
Iida
 … I do not understand why on earth your school is so grossly underfunded! It makes little sense that all of these things occur! However, I find myself believing you as I cannot understand why you would lie! I have spoken to Tensei, who confirmed that there are such schools! It is appalling! 
 Though no doubt you already know, so instead I would like to inquire what your favourite book is? A hopeful change of subject, perhaps, but I quite enjoy reading. I enjoy reading the “History of Heroes” by T. Stark. It is a fascinating subject.
Sincerely,
Iida Tenya

Hello Iida,
 It is a sad state of affairs of how my school is run, but I am unable to change the truth of it. I try to make the best of it, though! It’s all you can sometimes do! As for books, I have read that one. It is a good read. Hearing about the older style heroes is very interesting, though according to my father, most are ‘put through a propaganda filter’. I asked him about that, but he said he’d tell me when I was older.
 I suppose I read a lot about Quirks and the related sciences, but I also read some fantasy novels. My mom is a writer though her stuff is adult-only. Through her, I got some pre-Quirk books, including a few series by Tamora Pierce that I find amazing…
Monoma
… so in conclusion, there is NO way you can argue that Best Jeanist should be number one. Even if you love All Might, Best Jeanist has outstripped him in terms of ability, skill and style. 
 With that pointed out, I ask if you’ve heard of the fact All Might isn’t going to the latest International Hero Tournament? What are your thoughts?
-Neito
-
Monoma,
 I’ll give you that Jeanist has the skill and aptitude to hone his Quirk until it’s perfect, but you are WRONG in the idea that he would beat All Might. Super strength is THE most versatile Quirk.
 Also, do NOT make me laugh with the style point. The Jurtleneck is a crime against fashion…
Shinsou
… and then my aunt told me point blank if I got another cat, she would pretend she didn’t know me. I did get one. My dad is laughing his ass off as she pouts, pretending she doesn’t love the cat even as it plays with her ears and she dangles string for it.
 Do you have any pets at all? Any interest? 
-Shinsou
-
Hello Shinsou,
 The fact your aunt pretends to be ashamed since you love cats so much made me laugh so hard that I fell out of my chair. It was a nice thing to read after my week. Kacchan was acting weird again, pressing about my friendship bracelet with him for some reason. I confirmed I had it, and then he started yelling? I don’t know. I zoned out.
 I don’t have pets. I’d like a cat or, like, a big dog…
Takami
… sorry, but I don’t know what else to talk about. Training takes up my time, plus the internship with Skyfall. I did point out that hobbies are important for heroes to relate to the public, as you mentioned in your last letter, so they’ve been giving me a little more free time. I find I like watching cooking shows. 
 I’ve been experimenting with a small herb garden now as well. Not much, just some random plants. One of the Commission people gave me some cuttings from her garden. It’s pretty cool. You mentioned your own hobbies? What other than analysis do you do?
-Takami Keigo
[Handler’s note: remove mention of internship with Skyfall and mention of approaching debit as a hero. Reminder- we want to see what happens when we don’t tell them their ages. And keep this from the big boss. She’ll think it’s horrible]
-
Hello Takami,
 I’m happy you’re getting a new hobby other than just training! Gardening sounds fun! My mom has a small garden on our balcony, and I like helping out when I can! She says that if we could ever move to a house with more room, she’d love to have a vegetable garden! We don’t have enough room right now, sadly. 
 Besides analysis, I mostly like reading books and going for long walks. I like to think walking helps strengthen my body in preparation for the UA entrance exams…
[Handler’s note: remove mention of UA exams.]
DECEMBER
Tokoyami 
… I find myself more drawn to darker literature now, with different emotional twists. I also feel somewhat lost as I read these twists. My mother said perhaps I am too young to know. My father told me that while he did not mind me reading Stephen King, he wished for me to be careful in the risk of nightmares.
 As the darkest day of the year grows closer, may I ask you about plans for the holidays? Do you celebrate Christmas? My father does as he is Christian. My mother is more traditional though she does enjoy the festivities as well.
Sincerely 
Tokoyami Fumikage
-
Hello Tokoyami,
 I looked up Stephen King, and wow, he’s a really old horror novelist, isn’t he? It’s pretty cool you can read his stuff! I’d be too scared to. I like other books. Usually, happy endings I won’t lie.
 Personally, I don’t. My dad and his girlfriend do, but mom’s more traditional. So we get the bucket of chicken and spend the 26th together, but we’re more fond of New Years…
Todoroki
 … just happy buckwheat does not have gluten, as I can still have soba noodles while being celiac. Fuyumi feels terrible that she never noticed that I tend to feel ill after having wheat, while father is just annoyed in general. However, Natsuo seems to be spending more time with me. It’s interesting to hang around him.
 I also researched Quirklessness, if you don’t mind. I discovered something called an appendix. Is it true these can randomly burst? Shouldn’t you have it removed now? Are there other medical conditions, if you don’t mind me asking?
 As a side note, my brother also insists on sending you this photo we found while researching chimerism. 
Sincerely,
Todoroki Shouto
-
Dear Todoroki,
 Seeing a photo of a rose white and red perfectly down the middle made me laugh. I have no doubt you know exactly why it’s funny and are pretending otherwise. 
 My appendix can burst, but I’m told that unnecessary surgery is foolish because all surgeries have complications. So it’s there for now. As for other medical concerns, I may have to have some teeth removed and a few other issues, such as an illness known as chickenpox, but I’ve already had that. It was…
Iida
… so we changed to the sleeker armour you pointed out was better. Tensei voices he’s increased his top speed, and it’s more durable, so he’s gaining fewer injuries. My mother is pleased by that. There is now even enough room to add a coolant system! 
 My parents insist on paying you for this and have already reached out to your mother. This will increase productivity! So please accept it. Tensei said to make it a Christmas gift, but I told him to stop teasing. Sadly, his friends decided to tease me too, but I am too used to that. 
 Thank you again for your help.
Sincerely,
Iida Tenya
-
Dear Iida,
 You’re welcome! My mother accepted the money, and we’re putting it into a fund we’re calling the middle school fund. With everyone saying I shouldn’t stay at Aldera, we need a new school. I think she told her friends since Kacchan is acting so weird about it, yelling I had to stay and that I was too stupid to go elsewhere. I reminded him I’m at the top of the class, just like him. He didn’t like that.
 When you say Tensei’s friends, do you mean other heroes? Can I ask who they are? I…
Monoma
…no. You’re completely wrong. That makes no sense for them to reboot the entire series! The series was fine as it was; rebooting it does nothing but cause more issues! Batman is superb as he is!
 I don’t understand why you’re supporting this reboot so much!
-Monoma
-
Monoma,
 BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BATMAN DID NOT HAVE POWERS, AND THAT WAS HIS ENTIRE THING. The change to having him have a classic villain Quirk was INSULTING to his character and beliefs! I’m adding links to the old stuff..
Shinsou
… and then the teacher tried to claim I used my Quirk. I wordlessly pulled out my phone and played the audio file. Greatest moment in my life seeing her face. The principal then asked her: You know he’s from a very rich family too? Her face was AMAZING. Usually, I don’t use my family, but man, it was AWESOME using it like that.
 It sucks we have to do this, though. That EVERYONE is against me for my Quirk, and everyone is against you for your lack. I just want to prove them all wrong.
-Shinsou
-
Hello Shinsou,
 I know how you feel. It hurts some days hearing everyone speak against me, even if they’re being nice. I’ve met people who are completely fine with me being Quirkless but said I couldn’t be a hero due to it. I don’t think everyone is against you or me, but it feels like it. Particularly when it’s school and teachers doing these things…
Takami
… Skyfall then looked me in the eyes and told me that it was the stupidest thing he had ever seen but also the funniest thing. He then gave me a new botany book, and I’ve been reading it. It’s great! I’ve been working on my garden since. Plus cooking. I actually find it relaxing; this way, I know exactly what’s going into me.
 What is your favourite food? I like chicken, mainly fried chicken, but I find I enjoy making more Italian foods, oddly enough.
-Takami
[Handler’s note: Edit the talk about Skyfall to make it seem he was speaking about his cousin rather than himself.]
-
Hello Takami,
 Oh, god hearing about Hawks flying into three billboards is HILARIOUS. Thanks for telling me! I hope he wasn’t hurt, though. It’s nice that Skyfall gives you things too. I’m happy you’re enjoying new hobbies!
 I really like pork katsudon. My mom makes it for me, and it’s great! I tried once to cook it and, well… I’m no cook. I don’t know why. I just cannot cook. It’s rather funny…
[Hander’s note: Edit the talk with Hawks. Adjust her mentioning of her elementary school.]
JANUARY
Tokoyami
… Frankenstein is a challenging read. I find myself drifting while attempting the effort of reading it. Sadly, I eventually decided to give up and switch to a different novel. I feel ashamed that I am unable to read either Frankenstein or Dracula. Both are such glorious examples of gothic literature, but I cannot read them. 
 How was your week? You mentioned getting into an argument with Bakugou, did you not? Has it been resolved, or were you forced to get your mother involved? How about the school itself?
Sincerely, 
Tokoyami Fumikage
-
Dear Tokoyami,
 I have had a good week so far. I did end up going to my mom, who had to talk to Auntie Mitsuki. Mom told me that Mitsuki still seemed very unconcerned. I don’t get it; I thought me telling her that Kacchan’s bullying is annoying and rude would get her to stop. School is alright, though. We had a jerk sub who made Quirkist comments, but he commented on ‘Explosive Villains’ concerning Kacchan, so he got punished. Yeah, it’s unfair. I know.
 I tried Frankenstein too, and I think it’s because of how old the books are we’re struggling with them. They’re not bad, but the style is very…
Todoroki
… you did not need to get me a present but thank you. I enjoyed the candy. I never had many of them and was surprised by how much I liked them. The rest of my birthday wasn’t bad. Natsuo got me some comic books he thought I’d like about ice heroes and Fuyumi made soba. 
Sincerely, 
Todoroki
-
Dear Todoroki,
 I’m happy you had a good birthday! I hoped that you would like them. They’re from this little shop a few streets over from me. They’re imported but pretty cheap still! Though I’ll say, nothing beats a KitKat sometimes. 
 You mentioned that your dad was angry about the possibility of having a Quirk that works with oxygen instead of the two Quirks you had, particularly if you have chimerism. Well…
Iida
… I can see why you enjoy Tamora Pierce. Her books are quite good, and I am enthralled by the struggles Kel appears to be going through. Joren is a despicable character, and I hope he is forced to face the consequences of his actions. I plan on reading Squire in a week due to a test.
 Have you given any thought to the recent billboard chart? I was thinking about them and wanted to ask if you have any strong opinions on the recent changes.
Sincerely, 
Iida Tenya
-
Dear Iida,
 I’m glad you like the series! I won’t spoil it, but I am eager to see your reaction to things happening in Squire! Out of curiosity, have you had to get the Anti-Cheating Board involved? My mother had to call them often when I was younger due to multiple teachers insisting I cheated due to the high marks I got. Apparently, being Quirkless meant I couldn’t have such a high mark. 
 I have many thoughts, starting with WHO THOUGHT THAT…
Monoma
… I am torn. On the one hand, the idea of only using villain Quirks against them is very delightful as it allows me to terrify them. On the other you’re right; having a guaranteed Quirk in my back pocket would do me much better in the long run. And yes, I do need to work on my physical ability.
 Have you found any martial arts that would accept you? I know you said they were hard to come by.
-Monoma
-
Hello Monoma,
 I understand why you like the idea, but let's be honest: many Quirks take time to get down. Look at Best Jeanist. His entire Quirk is thread manipulation. He took it to a level few would ever consider. Can you actually think of all the ways to use it?
 As for martial arts, it’s less about finding a place to accept me and more about trying to make sure none of the bullies from my school harass the class...
Shinsou
… and frankly, I don’t know why you seem so convinced Bakugou is a good guy. I wanted to brainwash him to walk into a wall, and I only spoke to him for five minutes while our parents ‘politely’ talked. Mom told me I did good, not reacting to his snarled comments. I wish Dad had let me stay home, but he thought it would be okay since you knew him.
 Not that I’m blaming you. Not your fault Bakugou decided to be a Quirkist jerk about my Quirk. I already knew he was a jerk to you. 
-Shinsou
-
Hello Shinsou, 
 Apologies for that. If it makes you feel better, Kacchan was complaining about his mom and dad grounding him for ‘risking their stupid connections’ and that ‘a rival designer shouldn’t be that important.’ He got told by one of his lackeys that, of course, they’d be upset with him for that. 
 I still hold out hope over him one day waking up. He was my best friend, after all. I…
Takami
… I’m not sure if having an agency as soon as I turn eighteen is smart. It’s going to be a money sink, and sure the Commission thinks it’s a good idea, but what if I just flop? I just don’t know what to do, you know?
-Takami
[Handler’s Note: edit everything to be as if Hawks is talking of his cousin rather than himself]
-
Hello Takami,
 Has Hawks considered just going independent? Speaking from the various trends, I noticed those who go independent before creating a hero agency do much better in the hero rankings. For example, Endeavour started his agency immediately but faced a lot of backlash for it until the Fire King encounter…
[Handler’s Note: Edit to be as if she knows Hawks is Hawks. Also, why did no one else pick this up?! She’s 11!]
FEBRUARY
Tokoyami
… Thank you again for the candied apple slices. Dark Shadow enjoyed them immensely, as did I. You are correct as well: the amount Dark Shadow ate was converted into energy which kept me up for the night. My mother and father have declared we are not to do so again. 
 How did you figure it out? 
Revelry in the Dark,
Tokoyami 
-
Rapture in the Brilliance,
 I’m happy you guys enjoyed it! I got the idea after a night of binging an old show with ghosts that had them gaining energy after having caffeine. My brain started going, and I wondered if it would be possible for you. I’m glad I was right! Perhaps as a hero, you could carry energy drinks. I wonder, as well, if caffeine being introduced would lessen the effects of sunlight…
Todoroki
… Thank you for the chocolate. Endeavour told me I was allowed to eat it, and I greatly enjoyed it. I’ve had other chocolates before, but I really liked this one. Was it homemade? Natsuo made a joke about it that I pretended not to understand. He doesn’t get that I do have access to the internet.
 Right now, we’re friendly, if not outright friends. I hope we continue being friends even if you do not pick me. So don’t worry about me assuming anything.
Sincerely,
Todoroki
-
Dear Todoroki,
 I wasn’t worried until now. I like making chocolate, so some giri choco isn’t hard. But I am happy you’re aware it was meant in the spirit of friends. My mom got startled when I told her about this and went: I write romance novels, but romance is still a mystery before she walked off. It was amusing. I made the chocolate with some raspberries because…
Iida
… in the end, your advice led to us discovering that one of our sidekicks was the mole. Or, well, Tensei found it, but he said I deserve credit for helping point out the odd comments on Twitter. Which I would not have thought to do so if you did not inform me to try. So my thanks to you for that- we are going to pay you once more.
 As well, thank you for the chocolate! Tensei and I laughed at the Sonic shapes. He said I should go by Sonic as a hero, which I told him just no. I must ask, though, how did you figure I like dark chocolate?
Sincerely, 
Iida Tenya
-
Dear Iida, 
 I’m happy you guys figured it out! Honestly, it was a guess a sidekick may be supplying villains with info! I suggested Twitter because many people tend to be a little oblivious even now that social media isn’t an utterly anonymous thing unless you go through the steps to do so! Mom is now saying with the payment; we can afford a middle school like Yavin for the entire three years, so thank you!
 As for the chocolate, well, Iida, you spent three paragraphs a few emails ago complaining about how sweet milk chocolate is…
Monoma
… upon informing the imbecile that I did receive giri choco, he laughed in my face and said a weakling like me couldn’t have gained anyone’s eye unless it was for my money. I couldn’t refute it. I know in the end, this is for the fact I am rich, and it entirely depends on me wooing you or at least befriending you the rest. So I ask why? I’m rude, and my mother’s told me off for some of my emails, so why still speak to me? I’m sure you picked other wealthier people.
-Monoma
-
Hello Monoma,
 Yes, you’re rude, but I don’t care because I love debating with you. Do you know how hard it is to find people willing to argue with me like you are? No one else likes analysis like me, so it’s excellent to rage together over the hero charts. I may be in it due to the money, and I won’t lie about that, but I consider you a true friend.
 So…
Shinsou
… the fact that I got any sort of chocolate caused a rumour to go around about me brainwashing whoever gave it to me. I then clarified I was speaking with a potential match for an arranged marriage. I was jumped by a group of other students who wanted to… take care of the idea of me breeding. That’s the polite way.
 I hate it. I hate it; I can’t stand this. It sucks, and I want to die sometimes because why do they do this? Why hurt me? Why? Because my Quirk is scary?! You’re lucky that you don’t get that.
-
Shinsou, 
 Thanks to some older kids hearing about the betrothal letters, I got jumped last week. They wanted me to ‘know my place’ and not ‘rise above my station.’ I don’t know what those guys wanted to do to you, but my group wanted to beat the crap out of me and scar me. It sucks; it really does. But I won’t play the trauma game with you. 
 We’ll both lose…
Takami
… the chocolate was good. I liked how you managed to put that filling into it, made it tasty. I ended up going to try out some recipes too. One of the sidekicks at Skyfall’s agency got upset that I got chocolate and made some advances. I shut it down, she’s kind of a bitch, but she tried to spread rumours. Sad for her, there were cameras around! 
 The handlers made it clear to Skyfall to look into that. I got a book from the guy as an apology, another book about plants! This time it was all about fruit. When I get my own apartment, I can arrange for a room to be changed into a little greenhouse. It would be helpful.
-Takami
[Handler’s Note: Edit the talk about the sidekick. Either have as if cousin Hawks was the target or another student at whatever school we’re using. Also, for the apartment we’re arranging, see about changing to a larger place. The garden is practical and does make him approachable]
-
Hello Takami, 
 I’m happy you liked the chocolate! I had way too much fun with the fillings and styles. I think mom was very bored when she let me experiment. She’s now wondering how I can bake, but cooking does not work. I think it’s because it’s more of a science. 
 What happened to Hawks is awful. People spreading rumours are disgusting and should be fired or severely fined! Especially heroes- after the last scandal with Dr. Rich…
[Handler’s Note: Edit the talk, so she’s talking about him rather than his cousin. Also, look into this stuff. Seriously, how does a damn eleven-year-old girl figure this stuff out?]
MARCH
Tokoyami
… Mother says Yavin does look the best. Particularly with their anti-bullying policy. As their founder was like me, a creature of the night, it would need to be the best. The darkness is within us all, and Yavin shall keep it safe.
 I have created a poem for you, one of darkness and light to suit you as well as I. Happy White Day, beacon of the light.

 Rapture in the Brilliance,
 Tokoyami, you’re my friend, and I care for you, but the whole darkness thing doesn’t translate well through email. It just looks strange. The poem is beautiful, though! I ended up framing it to put on my wall along with my pictures of famous charity heroes and posters of pros! There’s actually one group you might like too!
 The Fae Court is a group of Canadian heroes who all are…
Todoroki
… Fuyumi is very confused by my skill in the kitchen. I enjoy it, though and was proud of the food I made. Endeavour scoffed when he heard, calling it woman’s work. I told Fuyumi, who got quiet. She looked confused too, which Natsuo remarked shouldn’t be a surprise. They tried to hide the argument, but I heard some of it. Fuyumi simply does not wish to accept how our father is. It’s rather frustrating.
 I hope you enjoy the chocolate that I sent. 
Sincerely, 
Todoroki
-
Dear Todoroki, 
 I did enjoy the chocolate! I found that the mint was nice when paired with both milk and white chocolate. I never thought of combining those tastes!! 
 I’m getting somewhat worried with these emails talking about your father. Plus, he’s also just rude. Cooking is not a woman’s work- look at Lunch Rush! His entire Quirk is based on cooking!! I told my mom, and she decided to tell me about a prank she played on her parents when they told her about her arranged marriage that failed horribly…
Iida
… I would have kicked him, but sadly my Quirk is in my legs which would have made it possible to call it illegal Quirk use. So I punched him instead. I still got in trouble, but I managed to point out the various horrific things he said, and after listening, the teacher put him in trouble. Yet, I wonder if it is because of the fact his Quirkist, horrific words were against the rules or because I said something.
 But onto better topics, did you like the notebook I sent? I thought of chocolate, but I know of your love for writing and decided to send it instead.
Sincerely, 
Iida Tenya
-
Dear Iida,
 I won’t say that it was probably the son of a hero family who forced the teacher to take action. We don’t know, and from the sounds of it, the student spoke against mutation Quirks. That often gets smacked down quickly. I know that people still can argue saying things about Quirkless people isn’t Quirkist but who knows?
 I also loved the notebook! It’s amazing!!! I love how big it is and that while it’s leather, I can fold it in half so I can still write!!! Thank you…
Monoma
… and I simply had to brag about your cooking. The fools in my class deserved it for the comments about my Quirk. I hope that the gift I gave you was received in time. A fantastic gift as you gave me deserves proper thanks. 
 Also- you’re wrong about the idea that Hawks could easily break into the top hundred with his Quirk in the next two years. Flying and telekinetic feathers simply will not cut it. Instead, I believe he’ll take around five while he works on his hand-to-hand more.
-Monoma
-
Monoma,
 You don’t want my cooking. Baking is different, trust me. Also, they deserved mocking for being jerks, but lying about that feels weird. And I did love the book. An entire history of Quirk classifications?! Of course, I would love it! It’s amazing!! 
 Also, you’re wrong. I’m sending the links to the various fights he has gone hand in hand. He’s terrifying with a sword. Plus, he’s one of the most versatile…
Shinsou
… name is Yaoyorozu Momo. She seems interesting, but frankly, I kinda pegged her as the ‘innocently insensitive type.’ Not maliciously on purpose, but someone I’d prefer to get a wake-up call before she goes into heroics. She seems like the type to be utterly oblivious to the struggles of others. 
 Anyway, I hope you like your gift. Dad said prank supplies weren’t great until I told him you’d probably use them on Bakugou. Then he was all for it.
-Shinsou
-
Hello Shinsou, 
 I did use them on Bakugou. I had a good laugh at his confusion, along with a lot of the class. Of course, he was furious about that and targeted the class prankster. I felt bad, but given Muhi had dumped paint on me last week… the feelings didn’t last.
 I find it interesting that many people don’t look outside their bubbles. You undoubtedly didn’t before we met, don’t lie. Yaoyorozu sounds like a rich girl who never had to save what we have, so…
Takami
… paperwork is tedious, and I consider it the devil. More so since I will be going independent now and not have someone to shove it off on. I kind of hate that you suggested it, but you raised good points about the whole situation. Whatever.
 I hope you enjoyed the gift! I thought you might like a plant to put more greenery in your room. I know you have green hair, but the picture they gave me was old—something about security, whatever. 
-Tamaki
[Handler’s Note: Edit the part about the old photo and adjust the rest. Also, I am still annoyed that the child figured this out first]
-
Hello Tamaki, 
 Homework is always dull, but at least you can try out some hero paperwork. I did like the plant! Thanks for making sure it was hardy; I’m confident I’ll kill anything too delicate. Though I realized something thanks to the last email: I missed your birthday in December! I’m so sorry!
 I don’t know if you’d like a gift, but here is a list of possible ways to use your Quirk inspired by an argument with a friend over Hawks…
[Handler’s Note: Edit everything to incriminating. And fire our counsellor for Hawks. We are slacking]
APRIL
Tokoyami
… I was then informed that I may be a chuunibyou, but I am not evil or cruel to others. They commented on my demon, and I just… I don’t know. Dark Shadow is a dark force in my life, a shadow whom lives in my being, but they aren’t a monster. I may speak of them in dark tones, but I never truly mean it. I do not know how to feel about this. 
Revelry in the Dark, 
Tokoyami Fumikage.
-
Rapture in the Brilliance, 
 Tokoyami, there is NOTHING wrong with you being a chuunibyou. And there is nothing wrong with Dark Shadow. They’re the ones who are wrong for acting as if having Dark Shadow makes you evil. They’re a part of you, like your feathers. Dark Shadow never minds being called the shadow of your life, those videos you send of them prove that. 
 If you really are worried, maybe talk with a Quirk Counsellor…
Todoroki
… then Natsuo put dye into Endeavour’s shampoo. It didn’t work as well as we’d hoped, given pink wouldn’t dye red well, but we had a laugh. Well worth the extra training, in my opinion, though Fuyumi told us off.
 Have you ever pulled a prank? I find myself enjoying them when I pull them with Natsuo. He’s been spending even more time with me, often looking a little sad when I mention he’s spending more time with me. I wonder why. 
Sincerely, 
Todoroki
-
 Dear Todoroki, 
 I WONDERED WHY ENDEAVOUR SEEMED SO MAD! His hair did look a bit different in the news too! That’s hilarious. If you want to recreate it, try black. Or… does liquid catnip actually work? It seems like such a fanfic trope, but it would be hilarious to see if it does attract all the cats.
 I have pulled pranks. Mostly on Kacchan, who never suspects me. I don’t get why. It’s not like I hide them…
Iida
… while my mutation is not like others, I am angry towards people making remarks about mutations. Due to the fact they are engines, I often go to a mechanic as well, though regrowing them is not their duty. So whenever someone mocks anyone for needing to visit a vet, I want to say something.
 But I find myself choking a little. My mutation is something few look twice at. Those who call me a robot are more often commenting on my behaviour. Do I have a right to be upset? To speak out?
Sincerely, 
Iida Tenya.
-
Hello Iida,
 Yes, you do. It would mean a lot for many people to have you speak out. Your mutation may not be as extreme as others, but it is still a mutation. Bringing that up will bring into question what a mutation is. I’ve included some links, but the truth is a lot of Quirks could have been considered a mutation years ago. Why? Because it adds something to the body that most do not. Take my father’s Fire Breath: he possesses an extra organ in his lungs to create…
Monoma
… after that, they were arrested. Mother told me to keep quiet more about my Quirk, even though I wish to scream it from the heavens. It’s just not fair. I either am wanted by villains due to it, or my peers despise me. Even though I do not take Quirks, it is seen as villainous or cheating to use a Quirk not your own. Even if I use it.
 We’ve spoken about your schooling, but how would your peers react to me?
-Monoma
-
Hello Monoma,
 I don’t think you’d have a good experience here. They prefer the larger Quirks rather than the quiet ones. The ones you use your brain for. I’m at the bottom of the pile, but there is a kid who can yank his eyes from his skull who is considered only a few steps above me. Kacchan is at the top. I wonder, though, given I’ve read so many articles about bullying, how they would react if we were at any other school. After all, explosive Quirks are either heroic or villainous, depending on whom you speak to.
 It’s the same with Copy Quirks…
Shinsou
… I feel sick. I just never connected it, you know? I never considered that anyone else could be hurt by others, that I wasn’t the only bullied person. I even thought you were the odd one out. But now, after the conference Aunt Rumi dragged me to… I feel disgusted. Those stories broke me. I didn’t face some of the same stuff, and… just damn.
 I am so sorry for what I said and implied. But, even more, I’m ashamed that I still didn’t really believe you until now.
-Shinsou
-
Hello Shinsou, 
 I’m happy you understand a bit better. It does suck it took until now for it to click for you, but it’s good that you do now. That’s why I want to work with charities. Even when I am a pro-hero, I want to work with them. To help people like you and like me. To help people who are bullied, who are told they’re less. You know how lucky we are now. Kacchan may be cruel, but he’s also stepped in for many of the worse things. And my mom…
Takami
… then I flew into a window. I broke my wing, so I’m benched for a while. My handlers got mad, but they’re letting me focus on learning recovery meals, so I’m happy. It’s a lot of fun to do! So far, I’ve learned a lot about the body and what helps it recover.
 I also have a few questions, if you don’t mind me asking. You’ve mentioned a friend and his weird behaviour about the various offers. Does he have a crush on you? Or do you think he does? Because it certainly sounds like he does from my perspective. Are you worried about him trying anything?
-Takami
[Handler’s note: Usual edits.]
-
Hello Takami, 
 I hope your wing will be okay! I’m glad you’re eating well right now! As for your questions… It's complicated. Kacchan has been my best friend since we were little. Our parents know each other. But he’s hurt me a lot. I don’t entirely blame him; he’s been told for years it’s okay, he can do that. But he still, you know, hurts me. 
 As for a crush, I don't think so. Kacchan is smart; he’d know he can’t even be considered with how much he’s bullied me. But, I think his parents are oblivious with how…
[Handler’s note: Usual edits. Also, this Kacchan character should be watched.]

Tokoyami
… for thy hair is as green as moss, and thy mind is as sharp as daggers;
Thy world is thy own, and thou shall take it by its throat;

Rapture in the Brilliance,
 Fumikage, I am not going to lie. It was interesting to read, but it ran together after the first few lines. Using the word thy lost its meaning after a while. Try for a more modern term, maybe? I know what you’re going for, but…
Todoroki
… I then showed Endeavour the list you created of different ways to train my Quirk properly. He got very quiet before telling me, and I quote, ‘Go to your room, Shouto, so you can tell Midoriya that she better accept you or else.’ So here I am, offering the ‘or else’ threat he gave.
Sincerely, 
Shouto.
-
Dear Shouto, 
 Are you guys okay? Like seriously, you’ve said a lot of stuff, but like would Endeavour actually threaten me to pick you? It seems so petty and just not worth the time and energy. That being said if you really wanna mess with him…
Iida
… Mother slapped Father for his comment, saying that his reaction was not allowed, thanks to what she’d learned about him. I don’t know what happened, but Tensei told me I ‘do not want to know’ even though I genuinely do. I just wish I could adequately articulate my confusion. What happened that made mother so mad? 
Sincerely, 
Tenya
-
Dear Tenya,
 From the sounds of it, the entire thing involved you. Your parents were arguing about the agency, right? And you said they stepped down for you, right? So your father may be planning something about the agency your mother doesn’t like. Though until it happens, I doubt...
Monoma
… you didn’t need to get me anything, Izumi, but thank you. The poster looks fantastic on my wall. How did you manage to find a poster about Quirk types? It’s incredible, and I want to know!
 That said, I have to wow you now for your birthday.
-Neito
-
Hello Neito,
 No, you don’t need to wow me! Just give me something you think I’ll like! And I got the poster from my dad’s girlfriend. She does art in her spare time and was willing to make it for me. Of course, I paid her, but she made it. I think it’s super cool too. I actually didn’t know that about mutation types until Dad…
Shinsou
… and here is a picture of Auntie Rumi after the catnip incident: 
[Picture of pro-hero Miruko glaring at the camera, an orange cat on her head biting her ear. Miruko is covered in green plant matter]
 She couldn’t get the catnip off for a week. Dad gave me 54000 yen for it. HA!
-Hitoshi
-
 Hitoshi, 
 I DIED laughing at this picture; you don’t understand. Miruko is widely known to be this badass, and here she is, felled by a CAT. HA! Oh god, I can’t stop laughing…
Takami
… I still say chicken is better than pork but to each their own. And no, this does not make me a cannibal! Hawks eat other birds, thank you! 
 Adding to this, you have a point that filing down my talons is an issue, but there are issues in keeping them as long as I can grow them. It’s hard to pick things up and hard to set things down. Plus, typing, eating and more is difficult. The world isn’t made for talons.
-Keigo
[Handler’s Note: Usual edit.]
-
Keigo,
 I see your point about your talons. But keeping them short could also cause problems. Maybe growing them out a bit more than what’s considered normal will work. They can be a great backup…

JUNE
Tokoyami
… I have been attempting to find the perfect gothic style for myself, but I find myself lost. The Victorian look I have been attempting falls short of my dark desires, but the more modern version feels fake. It greatly relies on using Quirks, and I wonder if it works for me.  
Revelry in the Dark, 
Fumikage 
-
Rapture in the Brilliance, 
 You could go with pre-Modern goth? You know more of the styles in the early 20th century before Quirks. They have a bit in common with current gothic styles, though…
Todoroki
… [image of Todoroki and a woman with white hair streaked in red. Both are covered in flour, but both are sort of smiling] Making buckwheat noodles from scratch is more challenging than one would expect. Natsuo delighted in taking as many photos as he could. It was one of the nicest weekends I’ve had when Endeavour is out of the house.
Sincerely, 
Shouto
-
Dear Shouto,
 Oh wow! That looks like a lot of fun! I’m happy you’re spending more time with your siblings. Not much has changed here. Mom and I are learning more self-defence together until I can get into a class that will accept me. [Image of Izumi posing with her mom in mock hero poses]. It’s going well!
Iida
… and now my brother is the happy cause of a million memes with which he is spamming all group chats. [Image of Pro-Hero Ingenium who has run into a wall] He won’t stop. At all. Which I suppose is not too bad with the drama going around about my father. Mother is speaking of divorce, and Tensei is trying to keep me out of the way. I just do not know what’s going on.
Sincerely, 
Tenya
-
Hello Tenya,
 I’m sorry this is happening. Unfortunately, I don’t have advice to give. My parents split years ago and may remain married, but that’s due to legal reasons. All I can say is to focus on yourself, not your parents. This is their issue going down, and while you don’t know…
Monoma
… the fight took way too long. If Endeavour hadn’t tried to show off, it could have been over in ten minutes by my count. He also used too much fire; around 40% of the civilians there earned burns! Honestly, how that man is still number two, I don’t understand.
-Neito
-
Neito, 
 He closes over 95% of his cases and has a 90% success rate. That’s really impressive, considering how often heroes end up botching their cases. Which is something I think needs more focus. Hero work has required a degree of detective skill for years and...
Shinsou
… [Image of Shinsou looking exhausted as Miruko holds him up the back of his shirt, the bunny hero grinning ferally at the camera] Auntie says that she thanks you for convincing me I need to actually work out. I, in turn, want to die now. She’s gonna kill me, I swear.
-Hitoshi
-
Hitoshi,
 You’re the one who thought he could be a hero just with his Quirk. We have people like Eraserhead out there, and you’re assuming you can just- what? Use your Quirk all the time? What about people who know it and don’t respond? You need to…
Takami
… [Picture of Hawks deadpanning at the camera as Skyfall mimics his look. Behind them is a villain talking] monologuing is going to claim so many villains. They just will not shut up, and it becomes this huge should we… wait how long until they notice us? It’s ridiculous. 
-Keigo
[Handler’s note: Edit it so it’s as if Hawks told the story to his cousin]
-
Keigo,
 There’s this old pre-quirk movie where they discuss that supervillains tend to monologue. I’m curious, honestly, now about how often your cousin runs into these. It sounds so fake. Why would a villain take the time…
[Handler’s note: Usual edit.]
JULY
Tokoyami
… I hope you enjoy your gift. I believe it completely captures my thoughts on you and your skills. Your mind is as sharp as a dagger, my friend, and I hope you know no matter what you choose, I will always be your friend.
Revelry in the Dark,
Fumikage
-
Rapture in the Brilliance,
 I love my gift! An entire book on various ways Quirks have been used in combat and in the theatre? That’s amazing! I knew Quirks were used in entertainment, but I never thought that…
Todoroki
… I wish to inform you that I did pick out the gift despite my father’s encouragement for a different one. I knew you would prefer a book on Quirk science more than a book on heroics and the jobs associated with them. I hope we can continue to speak no matter whom you choose.
Sincerely, 
Shouto
-
Dear Shouto,
 You’d be right; I do prefer a book on Quirk science. I know enough about heroes. I don’t need another book on that, but Quirk science changes so much that it’s impossible to really pinpoint…
Iida
… as such, thank you from both Tensei and me for your words concerning our parents. We spoke with them, and both agreed to counseling before considering divorce, but both decided that if they cannot reconcile, they will divorce. 
 I hope you enjoy the gift I have sent for your birthday and wish to impart my joy over our friendship!
Sincerely, 
Tenya
-
Dear Tenya, 
 I’m happy that your parents are taking this seriously! And I love the gift!!! Signed merch from Ingenium, Midnight, Present Mic, Thirteen, Manual and Native!? I am so HAPPY that you got this!! I love it!! My mom…
Monoma
… we need to meet up for HeroCon in September; I don’t care that you may not pick me. We need to argue about Quirks in person and go to the Quirk panel! That’s why I sent you tickets so we can go! 
-Neito
-
Neito,
 YOU GOT VIP PASSES TO HEROCON FOR MY BIRTHDAY?! Holy HELL, NEITO, THIS IS AWESOME! I can’t wait! Isn’t Best Jeanist and Gang Orca supposed to be there? I heard they were going to have some sort of announcement…
Shinsou
… Thank you for the book on mental Quirked heroes. It was a great gift, particularly the parts where they discussed how to fight using their Quirks still. I didn’t know so much of my habits were due to my Quirk. 
 I hope my birthday gift for you is just as well received. I will keep talking to you, no matter what.
-Hitoshi
-
 Hitoshi, 
 I’m glad you liked the book! I thought it would be right up your alley. And I love the text on pre-Quirk martial arts! It’s amazing! So much of today is based on Quirked bodies that I stumble during my attempts, so…
Takami
… I hope you like the gift I gave you! I thought about it and figured out exactly what you’d like. Thank the Commission, too; they even agreed this was a gift, not a loan. They’re very particular about that. 
 Since the month is drawing closer, even though we still have emails to go, I want to keep talking. You’re a good friend Izumi, and you helped me a lot with the stuff the Commission does.
-Keigo
[Handler’s Note: Edit as usual. I also support further conversation between Midoriya and Hawks. Also, adjust the waiver for someone at Midoriya’s age.]
-
Keigo,
 THANK YOU! The martial arts classes are going to be so helpful! A whole year paid!! Thank you!! I can’t wait to try it out! You’ve been a great friend Keigo yourself…
-0-
 At the end of it, Izumi sat in her room. Papers were in front of her, littered with the pros and cons of each suitor. She had to choose and had to decide soon. 
 But who should she pick?

Notes:
-The International Hero Tournament is basically a bunch of heroes sparring for the world to see. It’s an idea I’ve been spitballing for a year or so where a Quirkless hero appears at one but it’s always been something I’m never happy with. I included it here for fun.
-I was pretty young when I first read Stephen King. I think… eleven or twelve was when I saw the movie Salem’s Lot (terrified the hell out of me) and the Shinning (that one I thought was dumb). I read the books shortly after and they didn’t scare me. It really depends on maturity level. Tokoyami here is judged as mature enough. 
-Christmas isn’t really a Japanese thing. It’s more for couples than not. Their winter break usually starts on December 26 and they’re more focused on January 1st as New Years. I know there’s a Christmas short for MHA but I’m like 95% that it was a money grab since it has such a huge Western following. 
-Todoroki is in fact a chimera! Some tend to have autoimmune diseases and celiac is one so… here! Natsuo feels bad for hating on his brother now that he knows actually he could have had twin brothers and instead Todoroki ate his sibling. So Todoroki has twin chimerism! They knew he would get sick after having soy sauce and some wheat based dishes but didn’t connect it. They thought it was an allergy to, like, soy or something, so they cut it out. 
-Frankenstein and Dracula were books I could not get through. Kudos to those who can but I just couldn’t.
-Bakugou being Quirkist was a debate I had when I wrote that. Given his terrible attitude to Izuku, it’s not impossible. I honestly don’t think he is Quirkist though and here he isn’t. He’s just very much an asshole and didn’t want to be there, so he lashed out because he never faced issues doing so. Of course, here the Shinsou family were angry and stopped even considering an end to their rivalry. 
-Todoroki is not an idiot. A little socially oblivious but, like, personally I like to think he’s also a conniving little shit at times who KNOWS what he’s doing. I have written fanfics (not posted they were spite written after a comment about another fic) where he is obtuse but that’s out of a messed up desperation. However, usually I just think he’s a little shit.
-I am having way too much fun with this. Hawks getting hobbies and being really into them is fun. But it’s all useful stuff he can do. Growing plants means he can have a lot of fresh food. Cooking so he doesn’t rely on others. It’s approachable to. Yeah, the commission sucks still here. (Y'all probably guessed it)
-Is Yaoyorozu actually like that or is Hitoshi being Hitoshi? You decide.
-A heavy headcanon is Todoroki can cook. I do it for the househusband Todoroki who lives in my head honestly. He just never tried it before. 
-I read a few fics where Fuyumi was full on abuse apologist and refused to admit that her parents were bad and so on. But honestly to me Fuyumi knows, and admits it but she’s very wrapped up in ‘things are okay’ or ‘things happen for a reason’. Or ‘he said sorry so things are okay’. She won’t admit that some things are too broken to fix because she relies on the idea of a perfect family. So in this AU, Fuyumi is very focused on the idea that things will be okay. Shouto has the Quirk her father wanted, so things should be okay! They should be happy…
-Yep. Hitoshi is related to Miruko! I have no regrets! One person guessed it!!
-I will never understand the trope that the HPSC makes Hawks file down his talons/removed his mutation traits. It just makes zero sense because frankly they want a hero to be skilled and I can’t see them risking damaging Hawks’ abilities by removing parts of him. Plus, while yes some people have very long nails, we’re talking about talons. As in curved things that would affect how people interact, so Hawks does file them for convenience here.
-Honestly, I’ve been debating how to handle everyone’s friendship when Izumi picks. I know a few would continue being good friends, but others would just become infrequent penpals. I don’t think anyone would be too mad. Maybe some angry words but it would be smoothed over later on.

ok but what about mara saying she wanted to 'wield undren sov, lightbearer' if only people had done what she wanted (presumably send newly rezd crow back to her/let her mold him as she wanted) in season of the lost, and also assigning ownership of him to the guardian as if thats any way to speak of another person? none of crows severances were about resolving the issues with mara, and honestly a lot of what he says to uldren re: mara seems to be more about the lengths uldren went and how abhorrent he sees it, and later how he understands what a compromised mental state uldren was in which is what he forgives. ive honestly yet to see crow forgive mara in any way seeing as he hasnt even been reading her messages, though perhaps an argument could be made for him getting there eventually. i just dont see how mara who has consistently viewed uldren and crow as a tool/object that she is justified in claiming ownership of/manipulating to her own ends (good or not) being at all contrite in a sincere way. the way she reacts to crow in season of the lost is also a little strange to me. she goes from yelling at ikora about her apparent dispair of uldrens fate to fully acknowledging she drove him where she wished ('holding the whip', in her own words) + even wanted him to be a lightbearer so she could use him? i dunno, none of that screams 'sibling love' to me. good deeds or not, saving humanity or not, shes just... a bad person (which is interesting, because shes on the good side, but still) and imo it would be bad for her to have any sort of significant relationship with crow.
I've talked about this a lot and I think you're overly simplifying their relationship and events that led to this. I'll link to some of mine and other people's posts about these points so I don't repeat myself over and over.
Before I dump the links, I'll say that there is definitely sibling love between them, but not all sibling love is built on a healthy foundation or without tragedy. And the story of the Sov family is a story of tragedy.
Mara used to be fairly bad, but has recently gone through changes mostly due to the pressure of the threats humanity is facing and her realisation that she cannot win alone. There are still questionable choices and plans she makes, but I think that ignoring the fact that she's making them because she wants to save all life from the Witness is stripping both her and the story of their rightful complexity.
Links! Enjoy reading through this (there's also random drama here and there, for extra spice while reading. Not all of these are directly related to your questions, but they are informative when it comes to both Mara's and Uldren's characters):

Kaori's Thoughts on Division Leaders
Tumblr media
Ichiro Yamada
"I've heard much of Ichiro-san... he is spoken of very well by the people here in Toshima and other cities. I admire the love and care he shows for his friends and siblings. He has a lot of inner strength as much as outer. I wish I had even half of that..."
Samatoki Aohitsugi
"I only know of Samatoki-san... because of his sister, Nemu-chan. She is a very dedicated woman of Chuohku... though I can tell that this is not who she truly is... Though I don't care for his attitude, I can greatly understand how Samatoki feels concerning Chuohku..."
Ramuda Amemura
"...I-I am a bit confused on how to feel about Ramuda-san. He is just like me, in that he doesn't wish to do most of the things Chuohku has him do either. To be honest... I do not know who has it worse: me, who fears going back to being an experiment, or him, who will sadly die if he doesn't do what they wish of him. ...At the same time, however, knowing that he is precious to Okada-san... I can't help but hate him for this, knowing that he is obeying her orders..."
Jakurai Jinguji
"I've met Jakurai-sensei once when he was meeting with Otome-sama and Ichijiku-san. They were asking him if he'd... be interested in working with them on the True Hypnosis Microphone. ...I sincerely hope that he rethinks his offer to work with them. ...A man of his intellect working alongside Chuohku... nothing good can possibly come from that..."
Sasara Nurude
"I've heard some of his his humor before. Like Morimoto-san from Toyama, he seems like a person who only desires to want to make people laugh. ...Like I mentioned with Morimoto, in another life, maybe I would have loved at his jokes, especially if I was younger, but now..."
Kuko Harai
"...Despite my reluctance to believe in something like a 'higher power', I do respect those that do, such as Heisha-san of Ueno. ...However, this man, despite being of Buddhist faith, he doesn't exactly strike me as a monk. ...Maybe I'm being judgmental, though..."
