_ "Eraserhead.." you mumble to yourself while browsing the pictures shared on the website.

You've always been intrigued by the name he has chosen for his studio, but more than anything, you wish to know more about the man himself, he's the reason why you're doing any of this after all.

Of course he is, because the mere thought of him branding you makes all your uncertainties vanish, and you are now anxiously counting the seconds until tomorrow comes.

You bite down on your lip while studying the pictures carefully, admiring him and his colleagues as they're clearly transferring their passion onto their clients' skin. The care, the focus and the beauty of it all is obvious in every photo, it is certainly more than just a job for them, it is love.

You snuggle up in bed a little deeper, bringing the covers over your head and clutching to your phone while browsing through the photos, until one of them stops you.

Your eyes gleam and your grip on the device tightens as you eagerly take in the details of the man in front of you. He looks so handsome, with his hair tied in a half bun that allowed you a better peek at the long slender neck you wish to run your fingertips along. Oh how you wish..

He's wearing a simple black tank top that accentuates the art adorning his flesh and confirms your previous suspicions, that the glimpses of ink you have so far been fortunate enough to see, are in fact but a touch of what's been hidden.

You want to make sense of the art he has chosen for himself, it's beautiful, elegant and obviously bears a meaning to him, but as much as you wish to, you cannot possibly understand the story behind it.

Your eyes land on his well defined muscles, taut underneath his skin as he diligently worked around a girl's thigh.

_ "Oh crap.." you breathe out as it suddenly hits you, that just in a few hours you will be exposing yourself to him much like the girl in the photo is.

Your body stiffens and your cheeks heat up as countless questions race in your mind, what if you decide to have it on your back? Or leg? Or tummy? Then would you have to remove your clothes for that? Obviously.. would you be able to do it though? You aren't so sure anymore..

Wouldn't it be much easier if you are to meet with one of the other artists? His loud blond friend perhaps, or the cheerful tall guy whom you seldom ever see since he usually comes a little later than the others.

Is it wrong of you to rush into this without thinking everything through? Seriously, what are you hoping to accomplish anyway?

Do you expect him to be charmed by you? To speak more intimately? To start something that would bring you two together?

How ridiculous! He would be doing his job and nothing more, so perhaps you ought to keep these outrageous thoughts to yourself and learn to give up on your absurd infatuation.

It would be best if you do, for your own sake..

Your body jerks violently to the blaring sound of the alarm clock, and you sit up at once, pressing your fingers to your throbbing temples and wincing in pain.

Is it morning already? When and how did you fall asleep anyway? It's hard to tell, because the last thing you can remember is the first thing on your mind right now, him.

Your day is passing in a haze, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot think of anything else but him.

You smile at yet another satisfied customer as she picks up her colorful bouquet and walks out of your shop all happy and excited about her purchase.

_ "It's almost time." you sigh heavily while peeking at the studio across the street— like you have been doing the whole day, still closed but won't be for long.

Your eyes shift to the wall clock hanging opposite of you, it reads six forty-five, almost time to lock up and get to your appointment with Mr Aizawa who will soon be here..

The butterflies in your stomach are fluttering furiously in rhythm with your pounding heart as you clean up around your shop to kill the few minutes left until you see him, and just like clockwork, he does in fact appear right as you are done securing your shop's front door, greeting you like he always does before walking into the studio where his colleagues already are..

_ "Oh good evening Miss! You're right on time," Ms Kayama greets you enthusiastically as soon as you walk in, "boss will be seeing you in a moment so why don't you have a seat first."

_ "Thank you." you do as asked, biting on the inside of your cheek nervously and watching while a couple walk in and are immediately greeted by the tall guy whose cheerfulness you frankly envy.

You're not really sure how long you've been sitting there -eyes moving between gleeful artists and their excited clients as they work out the details of their desired pieces- but it couldn't have been more than mere minutes before his warm greeting reached you, "welcome back."

_ "H.. hello Mr Aizawa." you curse your wavering voice as you stand up too quickly— that your head starts spinning, grateful for the hand you're keeping on the back of the chair for support.

_ "I'm glad you came back." he gets even closer to you as he speaks, so much closer that you can catch every little detail of his handsome face.

_ "Thank you." that's right, you were a mess yesterday, and you did make a fool of yourself over the whole thing, but for some reason you don't regret any of it since it somehow led you a bit closer to the guy you've spent months admiring from afar.

_ "Please follow me."

You walk closely behind him, admiring the stature of the man controlling every speck of your being, and wishing you could just reach out and touch him, but that would be too creepy wouldn't it? You're not even that close..

You shake your head to chase away those weird thoughts fighting within your brain and focus on the reason why you're here instead, the man is running a business for heaven's sake, and you have to respect that.

_ "Wow! This is.." you bite down on your lip to stop from squealing like a little girl as you finally take in the room where he spends all his evenings.

_ "So, you like it?" he sounds a bit flustered, the tone of his voice is way softer than before, as if awaiting to hear more from you.

_ "I love it, you have a great taste Mr Aizawa."

He truly does, and you find yourself admiring the colorful art brightening the otherwise dull walls around, the framed designs hanging neatly, and even the equipments that you cannot recognize or understand the need for them.

He is an artist, and it clearly shows everywhere your eyes have landed.

_ "Thank you, hearing this from you means a lot." and there it is, that beautiful smile of his.

You wonder what he could've possibly meant by that, does your opinion really matter to him? Or is he just being polite? No matter what it is, it's not the right time for you to lose focus, you have to get yourself together.

_ "I really mean it Mr Aizawa, and I'm really happy I get to see where you work up close." and the sparkle in your eye doesn't go unnoticed.

_ "You seem more relaxed today, I'm glad," he tilts his head to the side as he speaks, his luscious locks flowing around his face and neck, and casting a dazzling aura around him, "please have a seat." he gestures you towards the comfortable looking tattoo chair placed in the middle of the room before pulling out a stool for himself.

_ "The sketch is ready," he grabs his iPad from the large table where his equipments are neatly placed, scrolling through it a bit before announcing, "here you go, we can do some alternations if it's not how you pictured it."

_ "Thank you." heart is pounding in your chest and breath is caught in your throat as you accept the device, and soon, your nervousness is replaced with a giddy smile that you cannot control as your eyes finally land on the digital art that's shortly to be transferred onto your skin.

_ "So, I take it you like how it came out." he must've caught on to the meaning of your bright expression, and you can swear you sensed a little relief in his voice, as if he's been anticipating your reaction.

You know you shouldn't read too much into it, it's his job to meet his clients' expectations after all, but you just cannot help that tingling sensation spreading throughout your body as you delve deeper into delirium.

_ "I love it, it's perfect," you pause for a moment to admire it a bit more before snapping your head up all of a sudden, "oh by the way, I thought of an ideal spot for it, my wrist." this would be the only way for you to keep your clothes on when he starts working on you.

He looks at you for a moment but says nothing, pursing his lips and puckering his brow as if he's deep in thought, triggering your anxiety with every second that passes as you start wondering if something is wrong.

_ "May I suggest something?" he takes your hand in his, running a thumb over the sensitive skin of your wrist before continuing, "look, this part right here is very delicate and it would be quite painful."

It's warm, hot, burning hot where his hands are holding you, your heart races and goosebumps appear under his touch as he keeps talking, "since it's your first time doing it, I don't recommend this placement for you, but maybe if we push it up a bit and make it closer to your forearm where the skin is a little thicker?" and his fingertips press lightly there on the spot suggested.

_ "Y.. yes, okay." your voice quivers again, like it always does around him.

_ "Alright, perfect! I'll print it out right away so we can start immediately."

Good, this will give you a few minutes to collect yourself..

_ "So, what do you think? That's two inches, but we can resize it if you want." he leans back and gives you a chance to assess the sketch printed onto your skin, holding up a mirror for you and smiling as he does.

_ "I like it a lot! It looks gorgeous." the perfect design and the perfect size and you can't wait to get it permanently etched into you.

You have been so engrossed into admiring yourself for a moment that you almost missed his lingering eyes on you, almost.

_ "Shall we get started then?" he stands up from his stool to grab his kit and a pair of gloves before returning, "I'm going to ask you to sit back and put your arm on the armrest here, it's a small piece but will take about an hour to finish up since we're coloring it, if it gets too painful we can take a break that's totally fine."

_ "I understand."

You've always had a somewhat high pain tolerance, you've never been one to whine or complain over anything, which is probably why you're finding the persistent sting of the tattoo gun endurable, but maybe it isn't even that, maybe the reason why you don't mind the pricking sensation is actually the man causing it.

That must be it, yeah, looking at his side profile while he's deeply focused on work, eyes narrowed and lips sealed in a firm line, muscles lean and stretched as his arms move elegantly, hair pulled in a low bun with a few rebel strands tucked neatly behind his ears.. this sight of him is making you lose your sanity as you gawk at him stupidly.

You don't want your time with him to end too quickly, you wish it would stretch out to infinity, or at least until you're able to come up with a proper topic for discussion, it's the only time you have for such a thing.

However, the man needs his focus for your sake and his own, so no, it's not the right time for such a thing..

_ "And we're done, I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable," he leans back with a muffled groan as he straightens his back, smiling at you while finally removing his gloves, "you endured it well, I'm proud."

_ "Wha.. I.. thank you." why would he say something that is -once again- making you stutter like an idiot? It's not fair.

_ "Alright, let me show you how it came out before I wrap it," he picks up the mirror again and holds it out for you, "it's a little red and swollen right now but that's to be expected so don't worry about it, it should heal nicely if you follow my instructions."

_ "I will, thank you for.. for everything." for everything..? you regret the words coming out of your mouth as soon as they do, what if he asks what you meant by that?

Are you willing to tell him? That you're grateful for his patience with you? For not laughing at you or kicking you out when you burst in without a previous appointment like a normal human being should do?

_ "You're welcome," and he doesn't ask for further explanation as his gaze softens, "alright now listen carefully, you will have to apply a generous amount of ointment on the area at least twice a day until it completely heals," he starts explaining as he gently picks up your arm and rubs lotion on it, "be careful not to wash it for at least a day, after that you can remove the bandage I'm about to wrap your arm with and wash the spot carefully with antimicrobial soap and water before patting it dry," he wraps your arm slowly while making sure not to irritate the fresh wound, "also, don't peel off the dead skin, just be patient with it."

He steps back and holds out his hand for you to take, before pulling you gently to your feet, "it was great having you, I'm glad I was the one giving you your first tattoo."

I'm glad I was the one giving you your first tattoo..

You bid him goodnight and walk out to the reception desk where you finish up paying before finally leaving the studio for potentially the last time, ever..

I'm glad I was the one giving you your first tattoo..

Will you be able to forget his last words to you? Will you ever awaken from your delusions and see everything that's just happened as it actually is instead of what you wish it to be?

I'm glad I was the one giving you your first tattoo..

Probably not.

To be continued..

MHA chapter 419 rant

What the actual hell is this chapter ?!?!?!? What is going on horikoshi?!?!??

So suprise AFO IS BACK👎👎👎 seriously what the hell I knew he was gonna come back but he is so boring and I hate him as a villain like wdym you only pulling up with a plan that failed multiple times cos you have thing for your brother like!?!? The doctor and the hero comission could of been better villains. My point still stands AFO being the main bad guy even though this mf was killed and injured by everyone is lame and stupid 😭. Like can AFO just disappear out of existence already like?!?! Also I really doubt that dfo is true considering this guy just loves to act like a season 1 bakugo and call Izuku useless every breathing moment he gets. Also at this point afo out here using shigaraki like a wet human suit thing and that's it

Shigaraki is dead?!?!!!? Vile. Y'all telling me that shigaraki is basically dead this guy basically killed himself after a little fight (it wasn't little that's a hyperbole it was huge he deserves better than this disservice) sigh so shigaraki died with all his memories and the truth of his own origin which is completely sad and wow the amount of retconning for this is insane. Wdym to tell me that AFO needed someone emotionally weak to take advantage of so he chose kotaro, befriended the guy and manipulated him into having Tenko and then used Tenko as his little thing to make the perfect vessel!?!???!? DAM SHIGARAKI IAM SORRRY HORI DID YOU LIKE THIS

Izuku lost two arms and is getting the worst end of the stick as always. As an izuku Stan this isn't it for me like what are you telling me that HE LOST TWO ARMS AND THEN PEOPLE DO COME BUT I AINT SEEING NONE TRYNA HELP THIS GUY. ALSO IZUKU IS NOW ARMLESS AND QUIRKLESS WHATS GOOD ON HERE??!?????!?!? Also looks like izuku out here being the only one who doesn't actually get a full heart to heart with their villain at least ochako and toga were treated better and got that little sob scene where they called eachothers names out and what not but izuku and shigaraki gotta be sentenced to pure suffering for no reason 🤦‍♀️. Also the whole page is Hella and I mean Hella creepy and off like wth is this it's too gory (I know that's not valid criticism but this is my opinion) Izuku out here being the only one who can't be a proper hero like the guy couldn't even stand up to AFO unlike bk this is just mountains and mountains of disrespect and disservice . SOMEONE CHECK UP ON POOR INKO AND IZUKU

The quirks the backstory the things?!?!. So basically overhaul had the oh quirk or whoever the guy in the picture manga panel thingy which looks like OVERHAUL. This guy had an op quirk like he had the power of destruction and reconstruction but then afo takes that away and then has the doctor somehow somehow genetically modify it ( istg i still dont know how that works or how he could do that) and then TOOK SHIGARAKIS OG QUIRK WHICH (what was his og quirk we arent ever told) and then proceedes to set this child who wanted to be a hero for pure failure. Also what is going on with AFO and kotaros relationship and why does the description of kotaro being mentally/emotionally weak heavily remind me of inko midoriya. Also the RETCON LIKE OH AFO IS LIKE HAVE A KID FOR ME OR SOME BS AND HE HAS A KID AND THEN KOTARO APPARENTLY FULLY LOVES HIS FAMILY HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE KOTARO LOVES AFO More THAN HIS FAMILY

Eraserhead making a comeback and finally apologising (or not). I mean at least Eraserhead is back and apologising to his student for failing to be a teacher to him which ok cool cliffhanger I guess. Also where is mic I don't think I can take it if mic is secretly off screened especially cos Eraserhead is crying why is the guy crying like is he crying for izuku which dam as he should your student is dying but he was legit shouting left and right for bakugo 🤷‍♀️. Also Eraserhead has a lot of apologies for izuku considering how he treated the poor dude. ALSO DOES THIS MEAN OBORO IS BACK TO THE PLOT SOMEHOW ( I love oboro) but how does this work how did it happen how did he break free Iam so confused did much due for oboro or something.

Sato, ojirou and sero out here coming in clutch. but none y'all running to see if izuku ain't gonna die from blood loss or something. Cool entry I guess everyone can take a good fight with AFO but Izuku because hori doesn't like izuku and izuku just sucks!!!. I get it 1A is too big so hori out here needing to give everyone their little moments but like?!?! This just makes afo seem so weak it first went from only all might being the one to even fouch and defeat afo and now its everyone thats not the ofa users which great (sarcasm if you couldn't tell). ALSO THIS MOMENT DONT WORK BECAUSE IZUKU LACKS DEVELOPMENT AND SO DOES 1A and their whole dynamic?!?!?!!!!!???!

I Have ALREADY SEEN THE SHIGARAKI MIGHT COMEBEACK COS AFO CAN HEAR HIS ECHO BUT I DONT WANT HIM BACK AND IF HE DOES HE SHOULD DIE WITH IZUKU COS I GENUINELY GIVE UP

In conclusion, I hope both izuku and shigaraki die and izuku to be remembered as the greatest hero and that's it honestly!!

#mha 419 #mha critical #bnha critical #mha #hori is a bad writer #horikoshi critical #izuku deserves better #bhna critical #bnha #shigaraki deserves better #what the hell

Ask game, please! After the whole MLA kidnapping him debacle, Giran sells out everyone and gets rehabilitated. Please.

1- so, Giran watches the new combined group generals announce their plans to the canon fodder and that's the last straw, he knows which of those two categories he's in now. So he texts Compress and Twice that he needs a vacation after dealing with everything and he's headed to the beach, he'll be back in a week, do they want any souvenirs? Twice asks for twenty things, Compress tells him to not worry about it and that he'll go to ReDestro if anything in his prosthetic needs maintenance, enjoy his week, and promptly forgets to pass this on to Shigaraki or the others. Giran slips away.

2- Hawks, who keeps an eye on threats, notices he's very suddenly gone and wonders if he was sacrificed fully for the MLA merger, and asks a few questions- Twice says nah he's just on vacation at this beach, and gets distracted and forgets about that too. Hawks tells a handler, who sends an agent to the beach- though Giran isn't actually there, just close and watching for it. When he sees the agent, he follows them to leave.

3- Grabbing the agent, Giran explains two options- either he can call Twice and say the trap worked and they found the mole, killing Hawks before he can get out of the villa... Or, Giran can make a deal and get his own. The agent agrees to make the call about the deal, Giran with a hand on their arm and ready to use his quirk at any moment. The commission agrees to his terms in exchange for information- and Giran has a lot of it.

4- including, you know, Dabi's real identity- the guy hadn't killed anyone at the beginning, lost his gun to a fourteen year old, and was clearly not going to play nice with the league, Giran would have dropped in with some other low level group if Garaki hadn't told him to keep him close and why. And Compress's identity, not that it super matters. And how to restrain Twice effectively. And how to bring in the MLA generals. And their accurate numbers. He knows more than Hawks about everything except Garaki's plans for Shigaraki, so the MLA move quickly, having Hawks sedate Twice and extract him first as soon as Shigaraki goes under the procedure.

5- the HPSC spins the whole media narrative about the quirkless doctor who's been experimenting on people and corpses to make villain minions for All For One- including the dead hero student Shirakumo, and Endeavor's eldest dead son- and how he was going to do the same to Shigaraki... Until Endeavour stopped him and avenged his poor dead nomu son, [camera coverage switches to live takedown of hospital as heroes attack the villa as well, not bringing students along because that really might hurt the whole publicity win they tried with this.... Tons of heroes still die tho ah. Definitely a hard fight. And oh yeah none of the heroes knew about the story being aired until after so Endeavor has his breakdown at the hospital and Mic almost kills more people for bringing Oboro into this like that.]

+1- Giran, watching the plan succeed fairly well, takes his money for his info and doesn't exactly "rehabilitate"... He does lay low and live comfortably for a while though as he watches the balance of power shift, many heroes wanting to change or pull away from the hpsc after what they pulled (the Todoroki family is in tatters and they aren't the only ones), different villain and vigilante groups probing out the new space in power, AfO fuming at so many plans down the drain while he's still in Tartarus, etc. I'm sure Giran will come out of retirement once he figures the new playing field, the new players he respects or tolerates, and how to turn a profit with them.

#total social upheaval! just with more people alive to see it #you know kinda like what the lov actually professed to want before they got too into the 'burn it all down' idea without considering like #how they were going to have food to eat after all that. or anything. anyway #pocket talks to people #gentrychild #Giran temporarily allying himself with the hpsc bc he knows they'll implode afterwards and he didn't respect them enough to prevent it: 😎#and then he DOES actually go to the beach for a vacation lol #ask game

gintama time loop reading that i had while watching

(laid out for my own reference. this doesnt have to interest u guys.)

okay so like. watching gintama and getting to kintoki arc. what i knew was 1. i was getting into the anime art style changes i had varying feelings about which signaled 2. i was getting into the back half of gintama 3. what i knew about the back half of gintama is that utsuro exists, gintoki did something fucked up on that cliff that ppl cant stop talking about and drawing parallels to with every arc of gintama, and ppl (i sensed) think the writing of the ending is stupid

kintoki arc has yorozuya and tae promise:

before breaking Gintama The Series into a distorted au where the chars are WILDLY different but still play out their roles to their arc-concluding purposes. birthing in me the image of a gintama that can fill any shaped-hole you put it in and still have the same basic inherent form it moves towards (whatever happened on that cliff, which i sensed was being gestured at in kintoki arc w the beheadment seppuku but had no idea the fucking. extent of lol)

gintama making formal changes (ugly or lovely art style shifts, at some point a radical change in thrust of story with the introduction of utsuro as a final and plot-twisty villain) but (hoping that it's) remaining the same at heart... or being railroaded into being the same. somehow the yorozuya promise became about. being cognizant of being in the narrative timeloop** and being subjected to Circumstances. being cognizant that something was being taken from u (catharsis of ending--) and also inflicted on u (--replaced with episodic and genre-typical* endless storylines)

(*not a slam. just that gintama's storylines are all about like. accepting the horrors. which is a journey of experiencing the horrors in order to come to terms with them that is harrowing to be subjected to over and over and over again. [cest la vie]

**and timeloop was also being flavored by me understanding yoo joonghyuk orv's regressions as about the endless iterative failures of making progress on a journey of recovery from trauma. all timeloops are about that to me now.)

thought shelved until obi-one's arc where, although i understood him as an oboro figure, he was performing a shouyoutsuro role of being a dearly missed mentor figure who comes back for happy family times yayyyyy but oh no he came back Wrong (a disabled cyborg programmed to betray against his own will). and Evil (needs to be taken down, and the shimuras-through-gintoki have to be the ones to dismantle their own happiness that it turns out was always retroactively tinted by this grief).

the presentation of nostalgia as longing for a return to the past that cant actually be achieved. or rather, you can achieve it, but Time changes things, and the past you get back won't actually be the same.

this helps me shift what i know about utsuro (shouyou but Wrong) into being about. what actually isnt that textually present in the series? but has to be assumed, i think? bc like? of course? the desire to have shouyou back (tho now i ask: whose? gintoki's? again, not really... in the text?). you can have shouyou (idealized gintama timeperiod where everyone is happy and innocent) back! you can have all the shouyou (early days swagful gintama anime that i am constantly missing as i move into the future material) back that you want! and its gonna fucking suck (for the chars and for the audience)!

and that basically ends up being the framing thought i take with me into utsuro's introduction................... it gets lost the more i actually see him and late-game gintama for myself and gain the context i never had for everyones blogging i was seeing. but. still. the theme i understood to be what gintama was telling me. you cant get back what you lost. and if (when) you try, you only come face to face with what was damaged in the losing.

however...................................

the further i got into silver soul and through to the ending the more it was............ interesting but confusing that, as i put it, the chars were "fighting the representation of the dangers of Nostalgia with More Nostalgia"?

and still i dont know what to do with the ultimate last-pages ending of gintama being a return to the status quo (with cosmetic changes). yay we defeated the evil specter of our past that haunted us and kept us in the desire timeloop. now we can get back to the episodic timeloop that we spent the fight with the specter... desiring to get back. hm. well!

#sopping wet gintoki posting #ULTIMATELY. any time i conclude a gintama reading conflict with 'sorachi is an imperfect writer' im not mad at him for it lol.#like. i say before in series that take big ideological swings. im not mad at u if u wanna like. tackle the problem of capitalism.#but arent singlehandedly able to come up w the solution to capitalism. i just had fun with u trying.#if sorachi cant singlehandedly solve. the problem of human grief. well it sure is fun to watch him iterate on it for 300 episodes and #700 chapters. thats not necessarily a Failure! but it is. interesting.#gintama time loop theory

Things I took away from Octo 2

Hikari needs better taste in friends. Good thing I found him 7 more

Partitio fucking 'Sunshine Incarnate" Yellowil is so strong he convinced someone that life was still worth living

If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended //at Temenos' Stormhail route, no one is allowed to die on my (Castti's) watch

Please do not start Parti and Osvald on a debate about coffee, they will end up incorporating it into ANYTHING

WILL SOMEONE GET THIS MAN SOME ACTUALLY FUCKING CLOTHES NOW?! WE BEAT VIDE! HE DESERVES CLOTHING

The real magic WAS the friends we made along the way! And love too!

Everyone needs a Cry, a Hug, and a Nap. In that order, an supersize it.

Are Therapists a thing in Solistia? They should get on that

IF ALL YOU LOOK FOR IS DARKNESS, THAT'S ALL YOU'RE EVER GONNA SEE

Vide is a more fun fight than Galdera. That says all you need really.

I actually respect Lyblac more than Oboro. Lyblac is the daughter of Galdera. Everything she does is so Galdera can be released. She isn't human, everything and everyone is a pawn that she gleefully moves on the chessboard. Oboro on the other hand-

He is human. He is human and spent years with Hikari, raising him (for eventual fucking slaughter), he has a sister, and in all those years, all that time, he couldn't find ONE reason to live for another dawn. All he could see was suffering and thought the best thing to do was end it all, when, buddy, HAPPINESS IS FOUGHT FOR. You see a light and all you want to do is see it shine. How many fucking mental hoops did this guy jump through, just to keep justifying his actions to himself. Man says there's no good or evil but then says the world is cruel. PICK ONE. THE UNIVERSE IS A THING, WE ARE ASCRIBING EMOTIONS TO IT.

//Slaps Yomi's lute// This thing can hold so much foreshadowing in it-

//Looks at Pala and Mikka// So when's the wedding and where.

Devotion is an odd and powerful thing. Beware to not be too devoted, that you ascribe yourself to it blindly and be consumed. Rip Tanzy

I really wish you saw the travelers in cutscenes like the ending. I know it would be so much work, having to work out each potential combo, but the 'Journey for the Dawn" cutscenes were so lovely seeing everyone talk with each other.

I love Octopath Travelers with every fibre of my being.

#octopath traveler 2 #octopath 2 spoilers #Side note does anyone know how someone from SEA can play CotC? I want to play it but it nothing I have tried worked.

The visions at the sacred flames had given them some idea that whatever awaited them in the midst of the Sundering Sea was bad news. Temenos connecting the island to scripture about the dark god being locked away only made it more ominous. Still, Partitio would bet they could stop whatever Oboro was planning.

They hadn't expected there to be one last flame, this one vile with Shadow energy. Hadn't expected Oboro to throw himself in, and for Vide, the dark god itself, to burst out, huge and terrifying, a cross between a pod and the upper half of an almost human skeleton. They'd gotten themselves in formation and been doing their best to withstand its vicious attacks while chipping away at it, but then there'd been a burst of dark energy and now--

Now Partitio was in darkness, and he knew from the way his bones were aching it wasn't a natural darkness. Worse than the darkness that had blanketed the world, this felt like it wanted to leech his soul away. He didn't plan on letting it, though, and Bifelgan must've been looking out for him; the only light he could see came from himself, a yellow, almost golden sheen--

No, wait. He wasn't the only light. He could seem a glimmer of bright orange in the distance, and a smaller dot of dazzling pink. He walked toward the bigger dot--at least, he thought he was walking, but in such a strange place with his body feeling so out of sorts, he wasn't quite sure. The dot got bigger and bigger though, and then he realized it was Agnea glowing like the star she was. The dazzling pink seemed to be closing in on her too, given it was getting bigger, and Partitio realized that it was Ochette under all that bright light, the tiny huntress running to them at full tilt.

He swept Agnea up in a hug as soon as he reached her, just so relieved he wasn't alone in the darkness, that she was also--as okay as could be in these circumstances. Only seconds later, Ochette's arms wrapped around his waist in a squeeze.

"I'm so glad you're both alright!" Agnea said, smiling with tears in her eyes. One tear leaked out when she winced. "Well...you're here...wherever here is."

"You guys don't know what Vide did either, do you?" Ochette asked. "I think Mahina managed to fly clear, but she sounded so worried..."

Partitio wished he could reassure the ladies but had to shake his head. "Haven't got a clue. That black energy just exploded and then--then it sucked us in." A thought occurred to him. "Hol' on, I couldn't do anything to resist it, and you were behind me. If Mahina could fly clear, it musta gotten weaker with distance. So Temenos and Osvald probably didn't get caught up in it. Maybe they can spring us free!"

Ochette perked up, her tail wagging in spite of the situation. "Yeah! Pops and Temenos are clever! Ma's with them too, and Néné I think, and..." Her tail slowed as something occurred to her, and she turned away from them, scanning the darkness.

Partitio had an awful feeling that wasn't just the darkness trying to consume him. "Hikari's...with them too, right Ochette?" Because Hikari sure didn't seem to be with them. The only lights around were theirs, mixing in between them to become an even brighter warm hue. If their gods were protecting them like Partitio thought, wouldn't Brand be protecting Hikari?

But Hikari had been near Partitio's side for most of the battle, a close range fighter just like him. While Throné seemed to have gotten lucky--maybe a thief's intuition had prompted her to pull back when Vide declared all would be theirs because, yep, in hindsight, that'd sure been a sign of bad news--had Hikari?

Ochette was shaking her head, still looking. "He was--he was in front of me. He tried to push me back from it." She cupped her hands over her mouth. "HIKARIIIIIIN!"

Agnea shouted too, even if she couldn't muster anything close to Ochette's volume. "Hikari! Hikari!"

"KARI!" Partitio bellowed.

The silence was choking. Partitio wanted to call out again, but the despair was strangling his throat, tears springing to his eyes. If Hikari had gotten caught up in Vide's attack too, why wasn't he here? What had happened to him?

"My apologies," Hikari's voice said, muted and exhausted but there, and Partitio scanned the darkness again, trying to figure out where he was, so relieved that it took Agnea jumping back for him to notice the shadow encroaching on their light.

He jerked back a step. Ochette flinched as well, but then she leaned forward, sniffing. "Hikarin...?"

The shadow drew back, disappearing into the rest of the darkness again. "Apologies. I should have come to you sooner, but I... I find myself weary. And..."

He seemed to lose the energy to even finish that thought, at least not before Agnea recovered from her shock. "Oh, goodness, Hikari, what's happened to you? Are you--are you hurt, what--" She took a few steps toward the shadow, her orange glow illuminating as much of its silhouette as could be seen with an ominous, smoky energy billowing out from it. She stretched a hand forward, but as soon as her hand reached into the wisps she gasped, faltering and forced to pull her hand back.

The shadow pulled back again, and Partitio stepped forward to make sure it--Hikari--stayed in sight. "'Kari, you gotta stay with us," he urged. "I'm sure the others are doin' everything they can to get us out of this mess. You gotta hold on."

Ochette nodded frantically. "It's going to be okay, Hikarin! So don't give in!"

"...You all have such bright spirits," Hikari's voice murmured. It sounded distorted from under the dark veil, all of Hikari's usual determination stolen away. "I wish I could be more like you. But even then, I fear that would not be enough."

"What d'you mean?" Partitio asked. He tried reaching out to Hikari himself, but the ache in his body, his very spirit, seemed to multiply the instant he got too close. Just like Agnea, he had to pull away.

"'The Eagle of Ku'. Kazan's plans always worked because he was so clear-sighted. And he could not find a reason for the world to see another dawn."

"He wasn't lookin' for one," Partitio said, taken aback. Hikari couldn't be saying the world should end, right? He hadn't thought that after the vision at the Sacred Flame near Ku, when they'd found out Kazan was part of this whole mess.

This really was Hikari, right? Not some trick?

"It didn't seem like Ori was looking for one, either, and yet she found one in you. I knew Kazan for years, and yet...I could not...guh..." The shadow shook, then shrank.

No, not shrinking. That was Hikari in there, on his knees from grief and hopelessness, and as Partitio was trying to figure out how he could help him, what could even be said, Ochette surged forward, tackling the shadow and groping until she seemed to find Hikari's neck to loop her arms around. She was whimpering, the energy hurting her too, but she held on determinedly.

"Ochette." Hikari's voice shook with surprise. "You should not..."

"You would be there for me if I was hurting!" Ochette cut him off. "So don't tell me not to! Ngh..."

If Ochette could do it, Partitio could do it too. Had to, because no way was he leaving Hikari alone in this despair. Agnea got down on her knees at the same time as Partitio, both of them using Ochette as a guide to figure out where Hikari was in that smothering darkness as they reached in. It burned the same as it had before, Partitio having to smother a grunt of pain, but Ochette and Agnea's light being close seemed to make it a little more bearable, and he wrapped his arms around both Hikari and Ochette tightly, feeling Agnea do the same from her side. He still couldn't see Hikari, only feel him, and the warrior was shaking like a dry leaf in the wind.

"Hikari," Agnea said. "I want to make everyone smile, but no one can force people to be happy. You can offer a smile and a helpin' hand, but if things don't work out, that doesn't mean it was your fault."

Partitio had been grounding his teeth against the pain, but he was determined to say something too. "Just 'cause he was smart doesn't mean he was thinkin' clearly. There are plenty of reasons to want to see another dawn. You're one of mine."

"And mine!" Agnea said.

"Mine too!" Ochette chipped in.

"We just need you to keep fightin' a little while longer, 'Kari. Even if you can't see a reason to right now. I promise there's a ton, and we'll help you find 'em."

"All of you are my reasons," Hikari said, and from underneath all the shadowy wisps, Partitio could see a glimmer of red. "I fear I will lose you, but..."

"You won't."

"I may. But I would lose you even sooner if I gave in now," Hikari said. Partitio's heart wrenched that even now he didn't seem hopeful. But the determination still seemed to be doing something, the red brightening, the darkness fading from him as he shone brighter. "My place is at your side, my friends. 'Til we bring back the dawn."

"We'll definitely do it!" Ochette said, her tail wagging in joy as the darkness left Hikari. "You an' me, Hikarin. Let's show that god and then have the biggest breakfast ever!"

Hikari's face was pale underneath the red glow, but he managed a small smile and laugh at Ochette's declaration...and then the darkness fell away, and they found themselves back at the summit of Vidania. With Vide looming over them they quickly broke out of their hug to stand, but there was still an overwhelming sense of relief. The others had managed to get them out of that awful darkness, and if that was the worst Vide could do, then the eight of them together would pull through.

arts for my fic that hasn't exist yet!

...well, still planning it, it's Undertale and My hero crossover

there's technically some spoiler in there but like it's not really that important of a spoiler so eh, well go into the read more anyway

the one thing out of read more is I guess the one I'm throwing in the Underground because that's like the main point

hell yea throwing kids with time power in that hole (well technically Frisk didn't have one but they got one so I guess that counted)

(oh yea I give everyone 3 soul traits, mostly got it from a fic but it didn't like work that similar, it's mostly just for personality, the first one is the main one and the soul color)

andddd if you wanna guess the other fic plots that would be fun I would love to read it

actually Frisk is a 3 in one kind of a kid, yea that's a lot (also thinking of having Chara use Narra as a fake name sssslike occasionally, like, you know, character and narrator)

surface guys! and also Frisk for scale because yes

(if you watch my hero and know the spoiler up to like... the anime a while ag. then you would know Oboro is either dead or become some kind of zombie aka Kurogiri so you can guess what happened to make him like this I wanna read it... also his soul traits is the one he has when he was alive at least, now idk)

You can tell I did not try to make this looks pretty, I was kind of tired at that point but I stilll want to draw it so...

(anyway yea Kris just have Lancer's card to quirk him into existance to use his bike to use sometimes... well not really just for that, Lancer is also a good emotional support)

also yes I didn't really explain their quirk much here but hey, I want to see if anyone would guess it and how right they would be at it

To be honest, this is something I would like to hear your opinion on, I find it a massive problem that when the Kurogiri reveal came out, the focus wasn't on Kurogiri/ for his development. The focus was on Aizawa.

Like what does Kurogiri think about being a Nomu? Did he know? What does he think of these two heroes in front of him claiming they knew him from before?

I hate how all the focus of that reveal (instead of exploring interesting plot points) was on Aizawa and how sad he was about Oboro. (Where we also got that horrible retcon about the expulsions shoe horned in there as Hori forcefully saying - Aizawa isn't that bad, guys see?! Feel bad for him!)

I hate how it also implies how because Oboro died Aizawa saw those qualities of Oboro's recklessness and projected that into damaging his innocent students prospects long term. I hate how it implies it looks down on his friend for dying, for being carefree and saving others at the expense of himself yet none of this was explored. If Oboro saw how his friend dealt with his death I can see him being quite insulted actually - I know I would be.

I hate how Mic's feelings were hardly explored too, he as always, was just shoved into the 'support for Aizawa' role. But that's his best friend/ his best friends body too! He deserves some focus here, Hori!

Also I hate how Oboro's parents were never told, how Nemuri was never told. These three - have a right to know what happened. Especially his parents, who should be more successful at reaching him if he's in there.

I hate how Kurogiri's character from this point became a device for Aizawa when before that he was more than that and cared for Shigaraki.

Your thoughts?

Yeah you pretty much hit all the points on why the reveal doesn't work here.

Much like Bakugou's apology-but-not-really-apology, it was more about how it made Aizawa feel than how Kurogiri felt about not being his own person.

Like can you imagine the identity crisis he could've gone through? Realizing he's not his own person and just some reanimated corpse of someone's childhood friend? Only made to be a servant and nothing more?

We could've had Kurogiri wanting to break free from that, realizing his need to protect Shigaraki from harm and raising him was NOT programmed. Have him join the heroes and wanting to reconnect with his friends!

But we didn't get that!

It was ALL made to make Aizawa look better and justify his bullshit teaching tactics all because he couldn't let go of Oboro.

It wouldn't even surprise me if he refused therapy so he could cling onto this unhealthy obsession and make it everyone's problem.

I don't know what else to post so I'll just do some Aizawa hcs (these turned out more angsty than I anticipated lol):

- He has a hard time sleeping at night bc of what happened with Oboro and that's kinda why he's so tired all the time

- When he's alone and reviewing training footage of his class from the day he actually gets pretty sweet about them and thinks about how proud he is of them

- He doesn't show his admiration of them to them though bc he thinks that it'll go to their head

- Sometimes he just looks up at the sky and thinks about Oboro for a second and when someone asks him what he's doing he'll just say something like, "Oh, nothing. Just thinking, that's all"

- He probably kinda sees some of Oboro in Deku and that's why he was so tough on him at first, so that Deku didn't go down the same path Oboro did and die young

- I like to think that he sees signs of PTSD in todoroki but hasn't pieced together that his dad abused him when he was a kid

- I feel like at least one of the class 1-A kids came to him alone after class, hugged him, and then just started sobbing and Aizawa just squeezed them tight and started shushing them to try to calm them down

- After that day, he probably checked in on that student frequently to make sure that they're ok

- Ok so this one isn't a hc but I just want to point out that in the manga once Aizawa saw Endeavor being attacked by nomu on tv he immediately ran to check on todoroki bc he knew that he would probably take it hard, and he even ran so fast that he lost a slipper

He cares so much for his students 😭😭😭

Anyways that's all guys I hope you like it :)

(Also as a side note are you guys hyped for the mha vigilantes anime!? I know I am!!!)

Our Hero Academy

Chapter 4 - Teamwork

Prev. Chapter

Pairing: Shota Aizawa x female OC

Genre: Shota Aizawa X female OC fluff, angst, high school romance, friends to lovers

Words: 2k

Summary: 15 years ago, Eraser Head was starting his hero studies with his best friends Hizashi and Oboro. Contrary to what people think, his teenage years in the U.A. were bright and lovely, filled with the laughter of his best friends and his girlfriend's unconditional love. What happened over the years? What changed him into a gloomy sensei?

Extra note: You can totally picture Y/N in the OC female name, it's just that it'd be cute to read Aizawa calling her pet names. 🤍

Once again, thanks to @merrymonkey for illustrating this story. I love you, girl! 🥰

Chapter 4 - Teamwork

The closer to the disaster zone, the more present Aizawa had what had happened during the provisional license exam. He didn't want to see his friends in danger again, that was what he tried the most to avoid. Of course he was worried about the civilians, but he was also worried about Oboro, Hizashi, and Kaori. Aizawa did not realize how heroic his way of acting was and did not give himself enough credit. That day by going after them, he risked both his studies in the U.A. and his life. The young hero prioritized his friends' lives before any protocol. The sense and self-control he had maintained during the provisional license exam were hanging by a thread the closer they got to town.

A week ago, the U.A. and other academies had organized the exam to obtain the hero provisional license. The students were aware that they had to give it their all in terms of controlling their quirks, survival skills, situation management, and victim care. In other words, they must demonstrate everything they had learned in the first semester. In addition, the better they did, the more points they would receive in their final scores and the greater visibility they would have, since several professional heroes were there and not just to evaluate them, they wanted to start thinking about who they would recruit in their agencies once the internships began.

Several of the veteran heroes were already sitting in the grandstands and talking among themselves. The students were casting nervous but also admiring glances from the arena where they were warming up before the exam began. Everyone was motivated to shine in front of their idols.

"No fucking way! Guys, look who came!" Hizashi took off his yellow glasses as he noticed Enji Todoroki.

Walking between the grandstands was Endeavor, the flame hero, the man with the largest number of resolved cases in history. The tall, sturdily-built man with an incredible muscular figure had short crimson hair and sharp turquoise eyes. His beard and mustache appear to be made of fire, just as his hero costume for it included flames streaming across his chest, upper torso, arms, and shoulders. He uses his flames as a makeshift mask around his eyes, and his tall boots appear to be made of blaze themselves.

Just his mere presence was enough to keep the students and some colleagues silent. Despite being the number two hero, second only to All Might, the hero lacked charisma and although he instilled safety in those around him, he also seeded fear and a lot of respect. No one had seen him smile, not even his U.A. professors when he was a student, in fact, he was well known for his bad temper, something that he maintained, or rather, grew with his adulthood.

"What is he doing here?" Kaori asked totally intimidated by Endeavor's appearance.

"Preventing those who might hinder him from doing his job from getting the license?" Hizashi asked.

"No, his agency's growing like no other, it's normal for him to look for talented people to be his sidekicks in the future," Aizawa replied.

"Isn't it very soon to do it?" asked the blonde.

"That's what the rest is doing."

"Dude, the rest is not him, he's a pro among pros."

"By the age of 20, Endeavor had already taken his place as the No. 2 Pro Hero. Every step this man takes is calculated." That time, it was Oboro who spoke. "He's already been in that position for 10 years. Shit! Now I'm even more nervous. I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of him."

Their conversation was interrupted by the instructor's call to start the test.

As expected, the group worked together and they were quickly noticed by the pro heroes. Despite being so young, they had impeccable group work. Hizashi was the one who made the first move by stunning the villains with his shouts and then giving Aizawa room to do his thing and erase their enemies' quirks. Next, Oboro and Kaori were in charge of giving the final blow with their shocking fighting skills, both melee and distance.

Endeavor had fixed his gaze on those four. It was enough for him to look at them for a few minutes to recognize Aizawa's enormous analytical ability, Hizashi's speed, and Oboro's mighty attacks. Yet, the one who genuinely interested him was the girl. In all the years he had been working as a hero, he had not seen someone who could attack in such different ways. Within minutes he had seen her knock people down in a variety of ways. Endeavor caught sight of blizzards and landslides, but he also witnessed her adversaries turning blue-lipped from some use of temperature that was still unclear to him. Yet, there was something he noticed, and it was that, before scenarios with fire, Oboro acted before Kaori. Was it just a coincidence, or was there something behind it?

“Are there no cameras there?” Endeavor asked the academy principal as he watched the boys entering a largely destroyed building.

“No, there are major power outages. Actually, it's one of the most dangerous areas.” The director replied. "Yet, those four don't fear anything. Talented children but problematic. They give headaches to their homeroom teacher." He joked.

"They don't look like first-year kids."

"Not at all! They remind me of Toshinori's years here, and yours too. There was no way to make you guys slow down."

"What about the girl?"

"Oh! I'm seeing you're interested in Hoshino Kaori."

"What's her quirk?" The director couldn't help but giggle seeing that Endeavor's straightforward way to communicate hadn't changed from the days he was a student.

"Energies, she controls them."

"Any of them!?"

"Any of them" He replied proud of the young student.

Meanwhile, the four friends had already entered and were looking for possible victims. Relying on sonic waves, Hizashi had a special sensitivity to sounds and was the first to hear a cry. Alerting the others that there was indeed someone among the rubble, they began the search. However, as the director had told Endeavor, the area was covered in cables, and electrical discharges were rife. Every time one sounded, Kaori felt nauseated and a chill ran through her entire body.

Leaving Hizashi and Oboro to the front, Aizawa stayed a few steps behind with Kaori. He was surprised to see her stop and take her hands to her belly.

"What's wrong?" He asked more as a whisper so as not to alert the other two.

"Nothing, let's just get out of here fast." She asked while opening just a bit her costume because she was having a hard time breathing.

"Hey, Kari! Can't you do something with all this electricity?" Hizashi asked, but the girl shook her head.

"I already told you that I don't control this type of energy well."

“And if you turn it into light? It's fucking difficult to see where I step on."

"Language, there's a victim nearby," Aizawa said.

Oboro couldn't reply for did not see when he stepped on a cable and the electric shock literally sent him flying.

"Oboro!" Kaori yelled running towards him along with the other two.

"Are you okay?" Aizawa asked helping him sit up and feeling his pulse.

"Yeah, just a little dazed." When Oboro tried to stand up, he almost fell because his legs didn't respond to him. The boy did not land square to the floor just because Hizashi and Aizawa grabbed him by his arms.

"Your muscles are contracted from the electric shock, we must get you out of here fast." Kaori expressed with an evident look of concern.

"Shota, put him on my back," Hizashi asked, bending down while the black-haired boy helped his friend.

“Are you sure you can get him out, Hizashi? The last fight left you..."

"It's no big deal."

"Wait, we can't go, there's still someone here," Oboro said.

"I'll look for the victim."

"Shota, you can't stay alone, this place is a trap," Hizashi commented.

"I'll stay with him." Aizawa looked at Kaori uneasy, not because he didn't trust her, but because he knew she was the most desperate to get out of there. "Go, Hizashi, the faster they check Oboro, the better." Hizashi nodded and soon he had disappeared with Oboro on his back.

Avoiding an accident, Shota stopped Kaori on numerous occasions due to her anxiety to finish soon. Every time she heard electrical discharges or saw sparks, the girl would take a few steps back without noticing before she was going to step on a cable, or worse, that she didn't take a wrong step and the building would end up collapsing.

After a while, Aizawa and Kaori located the victim under a lot of rubble, it was a kid whose similarity with Kaori's little brother led her to forget that it was an exam and that the boy was not in real danger. Kaori didn't think twice as she rushed to help him. Fortunately, Aizawa held her, because if she had taken one more step, some ruins would have fallen on top of her.

"Focus!" He ordered a little louder than normal due to how worried he was about her safety. "What's going on with you? You haven't paid attention to your surroundings since we walked in here. If you won't be careful enough, then stay back and let me do it. When it's safe, take the child out, before that DO NOT move.”

Kaori was impulsive, that was true, but she was smart enough not to put herself in danger; however, that day something happened to her. She seemed like she was another person and the change occurred from the moment they entered that building.

"I'm sorry, Shota," Kaori's voice was barely audible.

If Aizawa had known the reason behind Kaori's weird behavior, perhaps he would have been a bit softer in speaking to her, but he would know it until some time later.

In the end, they approved the test, and despite Oboro's injury, which was promptly attended to by Recovery Girl, they all received compliments even from the pro heroes. Although Endeavor didn't say anything, the guys knew he had followed their performance closely. Despite how flattering that was, Kaori never showed a single smile and that night while they dined together at Oboro's house, hoping that he would recover soon, the girl did not try her food with the excuse that she was tired. The situation did not change in the following days either, every time the subject of the exam came up, she was silent, even more so if they talked about Endeavor.

Back to the incident, the group finally reached the town, thus discovering that Kaori had been right. The explosions had been disastrous and the whole village was on fire. Or at least what could be seen, since there was dust everywhere.

"Damn! This is chaotic! There are too many victims!” Hizashi said as he was about to move closer, but Aizawa grabbed his arm at the same time that he immobilized Hizashi and Kaori, who were also about to jump in to help people.

“We won't contribute ANYTHING if we don't first analyze what's happening. The three of you calm down or you will make the situation worse.”

Fortunately, they complied with their friend's order and waited before acting without thinking. The first thing they had to do was find a safe place where they could take the victims, which at the beginning seemed impossible due to the low visibility they had. Yet, Kaori and Oboro took care of this, while he created clouds, Kaori transformed their energy into wind that could dissipate the smoke. However, she had to be extremely careful, as the wind would boost the fire.

"It's not enough with the wind, you need to do something with the blaze," Oboro mentioned putting the girl in a bind.

There wasn't much time for Kaori to think or hesitate, hearing a building behind them collapse in flames forced her to focus on the fire and try to extinguish it at least a little. Hizashi and Oboro looked around waiting for the moment to come over and help; meanwhile, Aizawa did not take his eyes off Kaori and her hands. He had already seen what could happen to her if she handled more heat than she could. In case that happened again, he was ready to cancel the quirk.

A slight wince from her prompted Aizawa to become alert, but Kaori didn't let him move. "No, Shota. It's fine, I have it under control."

Despite feeling the heat on her palms, arms, and even shoulders, the girl kept going until she was able to calm the fire in several of the buildings, allowing her friends to go in and rescue people. Thus, after taking out some civilians, they knew that some of them had already given the alert and were waiting for properly trained heroes to appear.

No matter the mess they were in, the four students managed to keep things under control. They had already encountered seriously hurt victims, but that hadn't made them despair or make hasty decisions. Nevertheless, there was something that did not fit in Aizawa's head. The bombs had been planted by someone, someone had activated them. Where was the responsible? It didn't make sense to just plant a bomb and walk away.

At the same time that Aizawa scanned the place with his gaze, feeling more and more anxious, Hizashi tried to calm down some women, they were on the verge of collapse, screaming and asking for help for their children trapped in a school. Fortunately, even if the building was barely standing, the kids were safe, yet, they couldn't get out because the main entrance was blocked by some light poles and it was dangerous. Moreover, escaping through the windows was definitely not an option because of the broken glasses all over the place.

Therefore, forced to depend on the floating ability that Oboro and Kaori barely controlled, they took out the children one by one. Meanwhile, Hizashi and Aizawa received the children on the ground and were alert in case their friends needed some help.

Oboro and Kaori focused so much and controlled their quirks so well, that they managed to complete the task. Naturally, in the end, when they were going down they had exhausted a lot of their strength and the two lost their balance, but aware that this could happen, Aizawa and Hizashi were ready and caught them just in time.

“That was great, you got them all out!” Shouted the blond patting his friend's back after helping Oboro not to fall directly to the ground. "The mothers already took them away, they are out of danger!"

For their part, Kaori and Aizawa couldn't have had their cheeks flushed redder from the position in which they had ended up. Aizawa had caught Kaori head-on, and as they fell, the boy landed sitting with her on his thighs, still facing each other.

"Hum... are you ok?" Shota asked clearing his throat, he hadn't noticed that his hands were still on Kaori's waist and hers on his shoulders.

"I swear I'll never mock Oboro and his floating technique again."

Kaori's comment not only made Aizawa laugh but distracted him, which was a mistake considering he was the one who had the situation around them under control by his shrewd vigilance. Even so, the boy's senses were so sharpened and trained that he noticed how something moved in the distance, something that made his skin chill. A man had just thrown a grenade. The boy's panicked face led Kaori to direct her gaze in the same direction. There was no time to process what happened next, much less to react. Aizawa only felt when the girl got up and barely had time to run in front of her friends and raise her arms.

“Kaori, NO!” He tried to warn with a piercing cry, standing up as well and trying to get closer to her, but it was too late, he failed to stop her.

HI KIWI

Octopath ask game thing with Hikari, Ritsu, Oboro and Crick!

On it boss! Going to do Hikari first and then Everyone else under Read More.

——————

Hikari

OTP: I like Partitio x Hikari. It’s cute. It is very cute.

BROTP: I like Temenos and Hikari interacting together as well as Agnea and Hikari. I like their dynamics.

Favorite Dynamic: Whatever the fuck Hikari has with his former friends. There is so much we can use there for angst and more I love it. Especially Oboro and Hikari’s dynamic. I need to see more.

LGBTQ+ Headcanon: He’s Nonbinary and uses He/Him pronouns. Also he’s Asexual Biromantic I don’t make the rules.

Random Hc: He’s neurodivergent. I don’t know the specifics but he’s neurodivergent. Oh and he was that kid who was obsessed with animals when he was younger. Like me when I was 5.

General Opinion: Blorbo. Absolute blorbo. He needs hugs and probably is that kid who doesn’t talk about his feelings. He is such a blorbo and I can see so much of myself in him. I don’t know how to explain it but blorbo.

Ritsu

OTP: None.

BROTP: Agnea and Ritsu is a dynamic I like to imagine. It’s just nice to think about and they would get along if the world was kinder.

Favorite Dynamic: Hikari and Ritsu. Tragic friendship right there. If things were better they would be walking the same path and wifjnajhownfnfm *cries uncontrollably*

LGBTQ+ Hc: He’s pansexual. He probably low-key had a crush on Hikari at some point before he thought about it more and realized no they’re better as friends. *shoves canon away for that thought*

Random Hc: He knows how to cook and does it the best out of everyone in Hikari’s Story Characters. I like to think he was promoted to parent after dad died (no mention of mom in canon) so he had to take the reigns quickly. So he knows how to cook and knows how to do it well. Nothing but the best for Mikka.

General Opinion: Also Blorbo. I relate to the anger and to the want to be heard. To have your name be called. To be seen.

——————

Oboro

OTP: None.

BROTP: He would have gotten along great with Temenos if the world was kinder. Though they might just start debating and passively aggressively remark at each other. I don’t know how to describe it. There is something about that.

Favorite Dynamic: *points to Hikari and Oboro* You can dissect a fuck ton of that and it will be so fucking interesting.

LGBTQ+ Hc: He’s AroAce but is overall neutral about sex and romance.

Random Hc: If he doesn’t do anything he will start looking for shit to do because if he stops working he starts thinking of dread and he has the thoughts of “Hey dipshit you can be productive”. He’s a workaholic. Hikari, Ritsu, and Rai Mei had to drag him away from work several times.

General Opinion: *points at him* Something is wrong with him and I see myself in him in a bad way. I relate to him to a concerning degree and the aus where he gets better is me coping over the pain and me saying myself it’s going to be alright and healing is possible. Plus he’s just an interesting character in general. He’s tragic in his own way but I still want to punch him in the face and shove him into the river. Like he’s still very much a terrible person but you can see the reasons and understand. I too would go and slowly go into nihilistic despair when war constantly happens and you lose everything and you are working for the guy who is killing so many people and realizing that internal change is near impossible.

———————

Crick

OTP: I’m a Crick x Temenos fan. It’s cute plus you can get tragic Yaoi. Which I’m never going to do because I like happy endings

BROTP: I like Throné and Crick interactions. I like them a lot. I don’t know how to explain it.

Favorite Dynamic: Crick and Temenos again. It’s the detective-assistant dynamic that the game tried to do. Man I should do a detective au for them soon. It would be so cool.

LGBTQ+ Hc: Trans FTM and Busexual.

Random Hc: He actually knows how to steal decently. Things on streets don’t just go away. He’s a bit rusty but he’s good at stealing if he tried. He has morals though.

General Opinion of him: Blorbo. He has good backstory and blorbo material. You can have so much for him but then the writers killed him off and that was sad. We could have had the aftermath…

#ask #not-pie #long post #yeah I have. a lot of thoughts about Oboro #Hikari is less comprehensible other than me keysmashing and pointing and saying: ‘I like him’

MHA chapter 420 rant

New chapter new rant it's become somewhat of a thing at this point 😭

So hori's out here deflating any stakes or tension as always. I personally hated what happend last chapter with Izuku losing both his arms but I did wish for hori to continue on the path he chose instead of completely reversing it with some bs in this chapter. Heck I don't understand how Eri even had enough energy to heal his arms considering it was stated chapters before that she couldn't and shouldn't help Izuku it wasn't her fight and neither should she be forced to watch what's going on but here we are.

Heroes are hypocrites when it comes to Eri and she deserves better. Oh Eri the ever so lasting plot device. As someone that likes Eri's character and wished for her trauma and what she went through to be explored this is just bs and shows that the heroes are incompetent hypocrites at their jobs for allowing Eri to mutilate herself (the same thing overhaul did to himself) so she can be useful to these people who she views as her saviours?!?!?! Let's not even tall about the fact that ECTOPLASM stated that he helped her with that and allowed her to do that like?!?!? You're an adult who is supposed to be supervising the child and you almost failed to stop her from running away into the battlefield but allowed her to do that to herself. Let's also talk about how aizawa horribly failed as a guardian like its clearly stated in the chapter that she did want she did because she was inspired by aizawa and how he cut his leg off so she mimicked him so she can be helpful?!?! Aizawa isn't angry, worried or disappointed but shocked and that's it nothing else he doesn't even reprimand her like seriously 😑.

Present mic and kurogiri deserves better. We still don't know where present mic is but he deserves better than this I still hate how his feelings aren't acknowledged in this bs and he is just there pushed to the side as support. Kurogiri is a mix at this point they seem to realise that oh oboro is dead he ain't coming back but kurogiri is acting on memories that haven't died and to be honest Iam sick of hori drawing the same memory panel over and over we should just get new content show us them play fighting or doing something that friends do idk 🤷‍♀️

Wasted potential aizawa at this point. I lasted made a post about aizawas wasted potential but dam does it really show and basically at this point hori reduced all the characters involved in the kurogiri situation to just that and it's sad like we could of had more and we should of. Aizawa was doomed from the start as he was hori's mouthpiece which sucks

Iam not a fan of everyone coming in to fight AFO. I already hate the fact that AFO is back but having everyone who hasn't had a big moment or can still fight yet come into the fight is horrible. Iam ok with having a few characters come in but having some endgame avengers type of thing is horrible especially because class 1A and izuku aren't shown to have a strong bond a lot of the time it's one of the reasons why the vigilante arc fails and why a lot of other moments concerning class 1A and izuku fail.

Iam a fan of the civilians trying to help however they can but no inko?!?!!?!!. I loved that we got the page of civilians genuinely wanting to help Izuku and offering their shirts to stop the bleeding also even though we don't get much from the all might guy I genuinely loved the development he has gone through. Sadly, I was expecting to see inko in this chapter and considering we had a whole page dedicated to the civilians it's sad that we didn't get any update on inko as she was probably there watching what happend to her son

Eri's dream. I loved that Eri's dream is something way outside of heroics and it's something that doesn't involve her quirk at all. It makes me remember of izuku holding her hand and telling her that he supports her dream. I wonder if Eri and jirou hang out often or anything considering that jirou is Eri's inspiration or if present mic also inspired Eri. it's sad that Eri's character is never truly explored considering what happend to her this chapter and the double standards that are with both heroes and villains.

ALSO MONOMA YOU DESERVE BETTER YALL TELLING ME THAT DENKI ALREADY QUIRK EXHAUSTED IS OUT HERE FIGHTING BUT MONOMA CANT FOR SOME REASON IS VILE

#mha critical #bnha critical #mha #hori is a bad writer #horikoshi critical #izuku deserves better #eri deserves better #mha 420 #bhna critical #bnha #i dont know #monoma deserve better #present mic deserves better #kurogiri deserves better

vvtmb au sparknotes:

shouyoutsuro is a vampire. like an antediluvian-level vampire. very very very very old

oboro is his progeny, making him Also ancient as fuck

gintoki, takasugi, and zura are human vampire hunters. sakamoto is a normal relatively young vampire with no noteworthy lineage or power to speak of

the naraku is a new-age cult that utsuro runs out of a tall building downtown (affectionately called the tower by us). the sect's "believers" live in the tower (as you do in a cult)

to officially join the cult as an adherent you just have to do a funny little ritual where you imbibe utsuro's blood. this will create a blood bond and turn you into his ghoul but don't worry about it

utsuro rarely comes down from the penthouse where he lives. the day to day running of the cult is left to oboro (who may be an ultra-powerful ancient vampire but he knows everything about spreadsheets... and he operates the CCTV cameras... and he makes all the Appointments... and he has to deal with the 'investors' and business partners.... and make sure the chores are done)

the reason oboro has to do everything is that no one around keeps their competence for very long due to the fact that utsuro's blood is Literally Too Potent For Human Consumption even though the naraku only get a drop or two every month. normally a domitor's blood will start slowly affecting a ghoul and make them become more and more similar to the vampire. well in utsuro's case it erodes their souls and hollows them out pretty fast. they can still accomplish all sorts of tasks but unfortunately that doesn't include spreadsheets, task management, or customer service because none of those are skills they were good at in the first place.

since this is built on a villain au skeleton, gintoki makes really bad life decisions after shouyou's death and ends up running away to the tower. the tower is completely unapproachable unless you join the naraku so he. joins the naraku. he knows the blood is bad news but he's determined to find out utsuro's plans and try to find a way to kill him before he destroys the world or whatever. he hangs on through the power of Promise

blood bonds make you love the vampire whose blood you drink as much as you're capable of loving anyone in the world. normally this means ghouls are unable to raise a hand against their masters but you see, gintoki is Guy Who Kills People He Loves More Than Anyone In The World, which is why this au exists

however he does rapidly become very pathetic about wanting to see utsuro because he. is living in the same building as him for 10 years but only sees him a handful of times because it's scary and awkward to go up (this is funny to me). also every time he sees him his sanity depletes

oboro deeply hates and resents gintoki for putting him in a position where he has to look out for him and almost-not-really-but-sort-of defy utsuro's will in doing so. also just like in villain au he resents gintoki for running to join the Bad Place when oboro burned his whole life down because he wanted to be in the Good Place so bad and gintoki was there instead. so. also gintoki is ruining everything shouyou died for

again like in villain au sakamoto is the only guy who visits gintoki regularly. this is because he decides to become one of the cult's donors. because there are people who don't become adherents but who are investors and donate money because ummmm well it's a cult. so sakamoto is allowed to like, attend fundraiser events and blood moon ceremonies or whatever.

he actually hates visiting the tower because the whole place actually has a soulsucking effect for real. like it's really bad actually. he still shows up and buys gintoki motivational posters for his utterly depressing blank-walled dorm room.

sakamoto has to watch gintoki's personality and sanity rapidly erode over the years. hooray. eventually all that's left of gintoki is his singleminded obsession with fulfilling his promise to kill utsuro, with his ability to differentiate between utsuro and shouyou also becoming nebulous because. well. they have the same blood (when takasugi said the Thing in the final arc i was like hey. wait a minute)

the au has an unfortunately much more limited cast capacity bc it's RP and we're just two people

unlike in villain au. takasugi does very very occasionally see gintoki during the 10 years due to the fact that gintoki is literally just walking around downtown doing stuff for the naraku. like sometimes he'll just. bump into him (funny to me). and he wants to be like gintoki come back to gusu with me. but gintoki's world has become very narrow

utsuro is connected with crows (very vague gangrel affiliation but like we played pretty loose with that especially since he's so old) so there's an aery in the building filled with crows who drink vampire blood and gintoki has spent many an hour cleaning up their poop

when utsuro is finally defeated (leaving a giant hole in the middle of the city but don't worry about it) gintoki basically finally collapses because he doesn't need to hold on anymore but takasugi takes him in and tries. with a lot of frustration. to take care of him (he's not very good at this)

eventually the only thing that ignites even a dim spark of interest in gintoki is when surviving crows from the tower start visiting him out of curiosity. takasugi haaaaaates crows he's like old man shooting at birds on his lawn. except he can't shoot them because they make gintoki actually perform actions (in this case, chopping up premium beef for them even though takasugi is sure oboro would feed them anyway. this makes takasugi have to grapple with the concept of "grocery shopping" for the first time in his life, which he's also resentful of). okay he did kill a few on some occasions. gintoki was Very upset (good sign? maybe?)

takasugi wants gintoki to recover and does think that upset is better than Complete Emptiness. however every time gintoki is upset takasugi is like throwing up in his bathroom. this IS gintoki's fault

branching timelines, one where oboro survives and one where oboro dies

i have to emphasize that on the rare occasions where utsuro goes to meet prospective human investors who are completely clueless about the whole vampire cult thing he's dressed in an expensive suit with a raven-feather cloak draped around his shoulders and the feathers are from an older corvid species that no longer exists

every night he stares out at the city from his penthouse floor-to-ceiling glass windows and is like :) i hate the fucking city.......

oboro does, in fact, work during the day. he's powerful enough that he doesn't need to sleep during the day and that he won't die from the sun. however it fucking hurts like hell and he hates it. but it's human business hours. he also works during the night during vampire business hours. he also doesn't eat anything and hasn't eaten for like a thousand years. oboro is NEVER having a good day

you have to picture vampire hunter takasugi okay when he can get off his ass and bother gearing up against post-series it's a leather jacket, leather pants, belts around his limbs for no reason, fingerless gloves, the whole thing . that's what he looks like

hadestown "wait for me (reprise)" AMV utsuro "i let them try" too too too real it's what this au is all about.
