hiiii! I just finished reading your Bakugou fic “Split Ends” and loved it! I do have a question though: in your mind, does he ever find out that the reader was his soulmate or is it one of those things that is never brought up in their relationship? feel free to ignore this if you don’t like getting these types of questions!
hihihi my love don’t worry I love questions about my fics!! thank you for reading! with regards to split ends the vision I had for a full length was quite angsty. it is a tricky thing because despite his feelings developing naturally the relationship is still pretty onesided since reader knows they were soulmates. so it becomes an internal struggle between being honest with him or keeping it quiet for fear he’ll be run off by it. I planned for reader to tell him eventually. at that point it’s uhh quite hard for him not to feel cheated by the universe lol ;; they wouldn’t be romantically involved for a long time. one of the specific bullet point literally says ‘my pro hero soulmate avoided me well into his 30s what a stubborn bastard’
work is one thing, so I don't blame you wanting to cover up the hickey there! but otherwise I wouldn't worry too much about it haha. I've had both sides of my neck covered in hickies before, and I still was my scarf-less, plunging v-neckline self. people can think what they want!
Okay fair!! I’ve just always been very careful to keep my aloof and graceful attitude and a mauled neck clashes badly with that look so now I’m a little out of my depth, but honestly, you’re very right. I’ll take it as an opportunity to try and not be so concerned about how I’m perceived by the outside world. Healing. Love and peace and such. Learning to breathe without the corset. Etc.
ahhaha hope ur long car ride wasn’t too exhausting. happy new year! and also, wld u mind explaining a bit why ayato specifically for ur wip? was there a reason to pair fashion undergrad!reader with him? hehe — @milkstore
Happy New Year!
Eh it was the normal amount of exhausting for a mostly regular 3 hour car ride to my granddad. Either way I'm better now and got to spend the new year with him.
Now for explaining my fic wip.
I specifically wanted the reader, Thoma, Ayaka and Ayato to be friends so I was just thinking of a way I hadn't seen done yet of how they would meet. Ironically I didn't even need this for story but it helps with some background action during dialog.
Reader took a basic sewing class for her course, met Thoma who was there as a fun class and to also pick up some new skills to improve his sewing. They both needed a model from outside the class. Thoma grabbed both Ayaka and Ayato for the two them. Reader ended up clicking with the Kamisatos and now whenever she needs a model for class she pulls one of the three.
Now for Ayato. The fic was originally be for Thoma but as I was writing I realized the reader and Thoma just worked better as friends. Then I noticed Ayato and the reader just worked better for a couple without having to change anything I was writing. Sometimes things just work out differently then planned
I’m not exaggerating when I say this post changed my life. Seeing this as a terrified self hating 17 year old was like finding a fresh water lake in the middle of the Sahara.
[ID: A captioned Tiktok by @nextdreadpirate. A comment in the middle of the screen says, "Always tip the maid" as a skinny white man trots into the middle of the screen. He's wearing a frilly maid's dress and cap and holding a notebook and pen. The comment disappears as he says, "Hi! Welcome to the maid cafe where we're-" He turns to the right, does the nya hand gesture with each hand, then kicks up a heel, showing off a black pump. "-cuter than kittens!" He finishes, then drops the pose and turns back to face the camera, shuffling a bit closer and leaning in as he talks. "I'm the diversity hire, Bryson. Are you here for the gamer discount?"
A door opens in the background, and Bryson stands up and turns to the left, holding out a warning hand. "Okay, I can explain," he says to people offscreen, starting to laugh. Someone laughingly says, "Oh my god," and another person starts laughing as the video ends. End ID]
