“But love”
Hey friendly reminder aroaces/aros out there to take the "but love makes you human" and run with it. Ask about swans. Are they human because they love each other? Is my dog human because he loves his favorite toy? Is a cat human because he loves this spot in the window? Am I not human for loving my family or my pets or this place or these knicknacks or these hobbies? Am I not human for loving these stories or pictures or sounds or ideas? Love doesn’t make you human and it isn’t confined to romantic love either. If it was, humanity would be a lot more loose term and a lot more boring.
Grisha Kaz
Okay, there are a lot of really good stories about grisha Kaz, (the majority of them sun summoner kaz) and one notably about being a tidemaker turned corpsewitch, but I personally think it would be really funny if Kaz really was an Inferni, but people mistook him for a Sun Summoner. Like he got really good at being discreet about it, and changing the ratios of heat/light as neccesary, with hidden flintstones and mirrors in his gloves or something, and then The Darkling stumbles upon him and thinks he's the Sun Summoner. And Kaz is like dude no I'm an Inferni, are you delusional?, and The Darkling is all patronizingly "no you're mistaken, Inferni's can't do what you do, you're really a mythical creature called a sun summoner. I know it's you i can feel it in my soul we were made to be together" And Kaz is like dude wtf??? But The Darkling ignores any comments made because he's older so he obviously knows what he's talking about the baby sun summoner is just confused, he's four hundred years old, he wouldn't be tricked that easily. And then before Kaz can protest, he gets ferried away like some lost princess.
Of course Kaz immediately Kazzle Dazzles and goes "revealing myself didn't work. i could run and be discreetly hunted by the Darkling, probably lose him, but also all my work, reveal myself as Inferni when I am introduced and most likely die for the Darkling's pride and the king's rage...or I could turn this into a heist, make a profit off of this and see how long it takes for them to figure it out". He subsequently hires Inej and Jesper as bodyguards/emotional support assets and sends Nina, Wylan and Matthias to investigate the rumors about a skiff being flooded with light and the name Alina Starkov. Cue Genya Inej friendship, Jesper becoming the Little Palace's new local heartthrob, the Crows running around stealing valuables, Alina Starkov being sneaked Into the palace (as a Crow to help Kaz's charade, since she doesn't want to be the chosen one), Kaz actually giving better ideas to help with anti-grisha sentiment than 'a)expand the fold and become king b) c) d) e) and then they'll all be sorry', The Darkling having a midlife crisis about Kaz being immune to his manipulations and Bahgra immediately seeing through Kaz’s charade but helping him anyway because this is the funniest thing to happen to Aleksander since that time he tripped over his own shadows, accidentally said "I'm pregnant" instead of "I'm embarrassed" and convinced their entire camp he was a girl for the rest of the time they were there. (i know spanish isn't a language used in the grisha verse, but idc)
Soulmate au
you know how there was that one where the first words are imprinted on the skin, and then the angst version where the last ones were? Well both are implied to be physically, so what if it could be that they lose their ability to talk. I think this would be worse. If it is absolute, then you grieve the moment they leave. But if it’s verbal only, you have the very slim hope that they will return, and having that crushed would be worse. It is also sad when you consider, you don’t know which one of them is dying.
The Backrooms
The Levels were there, once. But the Backrooms have shifted so much that they no longer quite resemble what they were. The entrances and exits have changed. The diseases and hostile entities have vanished, leaving only bones. The remaining entities wander, rare and distant, but friendly. Or, at least, as friendly as wanderers can be. Most outposts are abandoned, long ruined by time, but in their place empty markets have popped up, with expectant prices for items on their tables. The currency remains Almond water, but pencils and music sheets are used too.
The most prevalent thing is the space. The only constant is a buzzing similar to fluorescent lights, just loud enough to be audible. Besides that, it is quiet. There is only your breathing, and the sound your feet make against the floor. There is only your thoughts and you.
Okay, so this is the thing that started this
Anyway, imagine you walk into the shyest person you know, starting to play the harp. And you're like ah, they're going to play classical. And then they start playing Metallica
i think the worst thing about fantasy novels is that the complex ones, the good ones always have the magic leaving. Like The Last Unicorn. Like why can’t I just have good fantasy novels without the “oh magic is slowly fading and the magical creatures are leaving due to the growth of man” i wanna read a fantasy novel to escape how we are slowly destroying the Earth, not be gut-punched with it in my book.

Uh long story short, I have two new blorbos Damian Wayne and Danny Fenton despite having never participated in either fandoms or canon before. whoops
Edit: I also have Tim Drake, Billy Hargrove, Kaz Brekker, Micheal Afton and Wolf Keum, I’m sorry but also not. I can’t explain why, but yes content pls
Okay you know how there are a lot of fanfics that deal with characters who read/watched a series getting put in it and having to figure out how not to irreparably mess up the plot? And they’re great, but consider these scenarios too:
A: The character hasn’t ever heard of it before;
It allows for nice interaction between characters that is still from a different perspective (often able to shed light on something being unethical/unjust without the “i know your full backstory” or bias towards characters)
B: The character only has messed up details cause it was ten-fifteen years ago that they read it, and it wasn’t even that great anyway
It allows for a lot of shenanigans (i know this is important but how/oh yeah that happens/so thats why this character was important/why did i like this character again) as well as confused but got the spirit. Furthermore, they know just enough to be kinda sus but can get away with it. (Like idk, remembering that that person’s favorite color is magenta because they personally hate it, or that they are allergic to kiwi, but not that the character’s brother is the one who betrays them and the wife has the clues)
And C: They have spent so much time reading fanfiction that they have forgotten how canon actually goes and so don’t know any plot points, just how the characters will act/respond really well.
(And then characters can in turn be suspicious, impressed or confused, because they can read all of their favorite cast really well, but are terrible at everyone else).
You know how Elon Musk named his child some nonsense? What he had named his child Y/n instead?

Raccoon Izuku AU 2 It’s been two weeks since what Izuku calls The Incident happened. He still hasn’t put his laundry away. Everytime he tries to, its cold dead eyes stare into his soul and all his determination fades away like mist. He’s not quite sure how no one noticed he wears the same five shirts now. He lives in terror of the day his mom finds it in his basket. The good news though, is that he was finally able to work out the trend in bank robberies with the villian Mistletoe. Izuku finishes writing in his notebook. He has a call to make.
~~
A few days later, and Izuku knows his mom is getting suspicious. She had offhandedly mentioned seeing him in the same shirt a few days ago. Nothing had happened, but if he doesn't get the laundry done, then she's going to look and see the fursuit. Which leads him to his current quandry; where should he dispose of it? Izuku takes out his map, and searches for the most obscure route. With luck, nothing will happen. He hopes.
~~
Izuku is monstertruckig stupid. He did the Midoriya equivalent of thinking "What's the worst that could happen?" One might wonder why Izuku is thinking this. It's because he is yet again trapped in an alleyway with a drug dealer and noted convict Prickle. Except this time he is stuck, because they had followed him, haggling, while he was trying to open the dumpster at the dead end. Izuku really hates his life, but he knows he will hate what he has to do more to ensure they can't trace anything back to him.
He puts on the suit, and waits. And waits. And waits. And then one of them turns, probably to confirm everything is in the suit, and spots him. And faints. Prickle turns around too, his excitment from having more Trigger slowly turning to terror. Izuku accidentally lets out a peep. Prickle spins on his heel and sprints out, but trips over the dealer's body and slams face first into the ground. He doesn't move. Izuku blinks, and takes off the stuffy head. He hadn't thought he did anything terrifying that time. Izuku looks down at the cold dead eyes of the suit, and shudders. Okay, maybe he had. Anyone would be terrified if this was just standing, staring at them, in a dark corner. Izuku nudges the dealer with his shoe, but the man doesn't move. Izuku shrugs and continues stuffing the fursuit in his backpack. He had more important things to worry about, such as getting rid of the suit somewhere where there aren't people.
Just his luck, all the alleys he can check on the way back are too well taken care of, busy, or don't have an mostly full dumpster in sight. Izuku sighs, and reluctantly decides to shove it in a bag under his bed. It'll be fine.
~~
Extra: In this au, Izuku does keep track of villians and notable crime. However, he only does the bare minimum in reporting on big scenes, due to being ignored for knowing/reporting too much or for not having an analysis quirk. (There has to be a law for quirk determined evidence, like Naomasa and Shin Nemoto (truth of statement, evidence/admittance), or Togas' (victim or killer appearance) or Nighteye (does the future count as evidence? or do you have to catch them in the act/ wait for it to happen?)) Instead he gives just enough for a lead without being memorable or suspicious instead of notes or notebooks.
Evelyn sighed as she touched up her blush in her silver backed mirror. It had been seven months since she had married her husband King Frederick, and yet his daughter had been yet to be seen, despite how many invitations she had sent for her daily walks in the garden, carriages through the countryside or studying in the sunny peaceful library. It was starting to get concerning. Evelyn had finally caved and asked her husband to send her to her room this morning so that she could figure why Nivea was avoiding her before her stroll through the town. As she leaned forward to do one more touch up, someone knocked. Not looking up, she called out “You can come in!” The door opened with a creak, and Evelyn heard footsteps approach. She spared a quick glance in her mirror towards the door. Nothing. Heart racing, she turned around, suddenly glad that she had put on a full face of makeup and not just the light touch she was originally considering. And there Princess Nivea was, all clad in velvet blue, her lips a full luscious red, hair sweeping down her shoulders ebony black, and her pale as snow skin unsettling smooth in the candlelight. “You called?” Her soft voice sounded, delicate, but with a smooth timbre that seemed to entrance the listener.
“Of course,” Evelyn answered. “I wanted to ensure I wasn’t imposing on you. I am aware, after all, I am fulfilling a position you may wish be left empty”
Nivea hummed. “Well, that’s very kind of you, you need not worry; after all, I would have made my displeasure know far before you had gotten married if I disproved of it.”
“Oh, that’s good to hear,” Evelyn replied, heart stuttering and trying desperately to keep her calm.
Nivea hummed again, her penny colored eyes flashing almost rust red in the dancing candlelight. “If that is all, I shall take my leave. Good morrow,”
“Good marrow,” Evelyn echoed, before the door shut and, like a puppet with its strings cut, she slumped onto her makeup dresser, gasping as though she had run a marathon. Turns out she wasn’t taking her stroll today after all. She had some old friends to get in touch with.
for the sake of my sanity can Billy be bi? idk how much he leans one way or the other, but he's been hooking up with a bunch of ladies in the show (or implied to), and his life is sad enough without considering whether or not he enjoys doing so.
Okay but what about a reverse Hanahaki disease, where if you hate someone enough, they get plants crawling up their throat and climbing in their lungs
And then, what if they thought that they were just in love with you, because they cough flowers every time your eyes meet
Like, imagine enemies to lovers; they link eyes, and all she can do is fume at him for his stupid hair and ego and holier-than-thou attitude, and he’s over there coughing up flowers like, is this love?
Also hanahaki disease where if you love them, they get flowers sprouting from their hair, which calls to me because it isn’t painful (unrequited love is already bad enough) it’s aesthetic, and I just think it’d be really cool to have a ruler that’s really loved and everyone can tell cause his long hair is just filled with flowers.
Stealth (Black sucks)
There is a really common misconception that wearing all black skin tight clothes is good for stealth. It's not, and I'll explain why.
First of all, the surrounding are never all the same color or shade, even if it is really dark- it's constantly changing with moonlight or dimness- the only reason black would actually work would be if there was no light at all, which means that you could wear neon green and it wouldn't matter anyway. It's much smarter to wear a mottled/camo coloring, something that breaks up the figure.
Second of all, black isn't a natural color- which means in a world of dark greys, that one suspicious pitch black spot really seems weird and stands out. It also makes one's figure really easy to spot. This means that black is too dark, and it would be better to wear a dark color that better matches the surroundings, ie: dark grey, blues for water, brown. I know, I know black sounds more stealthy and cool, but dark colors make you sound smarter and add personality.
Now, onto the skin-tight part. This one is where the lines aren't as clear cut- if your character is going to be fitting into small spaces and can't have clothing catch, go for it. If it's sneaking into a guarded fortress in the middle of a forest, then you might be better off having more loose clothing, which helps break up the figure (and can lead to being more mysterious or underestimated)
Therefore, if you are planning on any experienced in stealth characters to sneak into dark cave system with old flickering candles, or a heavily guarded castle, or even just to show off their skills to the audience, please remember- the more it breaks up the character's profile and blends in to the surrounding environment, the better.
(However, using black as a plot device, or to showcase/highlight inexperience is cool)
List of Environments for Colors;
Dark Reds/Oranges/Yellows- when it's fall,
Dark Brown- urban cities, swamps, treetops maybe, wood
Dark Green- forests
Dark Blue- anywhere near water, sky
Dark Grey- basically anywhere, stone, urban cities, catacombs
Light Grey- winter, mountaintops
Dark Tan- deserts, mesas (more rusty color) canyons,

Izuku Quirk options if Dad for one
Honestly, a majority of people create, Izuku has All For One angst, you know? Or like oh no its slight harder to give quirks back and oops now he has trauma and his mom is dead. Or he can steal quirks from dead people too but still basically Afo. And the concept is really cool, I agree. I've also enjoyed many of those. But there is a path in-between that I would also like to pursue.
Consider this. Midoriya's mom doesn't have attraction of small objects specifically, her quirk is just very weak telekinesis. As such, she could, hypothetically, with a lot of training, have increased that. But she didn't, either because it would take too long, or just wasn't at the right time.
On the other hand, All for One has a very powerful quirk that has continued (or so i would like to believe) to grow over the centuries. He wasn't born to be able to steal thousands of quirks, it had to grow.
Now, if you merge these two, you get several ideas that people have already capitalized on.
A stronger Afo.
An afo that doesn't need touch to steal quirks.
A copy quirk.
A quirk that inverses other quirks
Afo but for dead people too.
A quirk that prevents other quirks from working on him.
However, no one thinks of like indirect things too?
For example, a quirk that just hairline shifts control of the original person's quirk, or gives Izuku a bare minumum of control (this would be a hard limit on amount of control, and gets better at using directly affected by experience) Like for example, if Snipe was to shoot from 2 meters, nothing. If Snipe was to shoot from 25 meters, maybe a couple millimeters off. But if Snipe was being a sniper and from a couple hundred feet that minimum of control could save a life. It wouldn't work very well with big quirks (unless it was percentage that scaled, not just a set amount) , but it would be an interesting concept.
Or, for example, a quirk that borrows. Literally. Izuku would borrow it, and get to use it until the other person decided to use it. (which would make using it on unsuspecting people tricky, but also be a cool trick to work around/ throw off suspicion) it would then be as if nothing happened until Izuku reinitiated touch/contact or found someone else
Furthermore, what if Izuku could steal one quirk, but only one. It would go back the person he took it from after he switched it out, but he wouldn't be able to keep it past that. (Dead people maybe?)
Maybe it could be attracting people with powerful quirks (ie: if he's in danger, he just amps it up and hopes a hero comes, and not just a stronger villain)
Finally, it could be a small repulsion of quirks/powers?/objects?. Nothing big, but quirks never quite seem to hurt him/impact him as much as they thought it would. A fire villian burning him? It's not that bad there was some wind that didn't allow for direct contact, he only has heat burns. You thought you playfully zapped him with electricity like kids do by dragging their feet over the carpet? Nah, nothing happened.
Again it would be very minor and have a hard limit, but his resourcefullness would make it special and important. Just me and quirk theories.
What Could Have Been AU
Izuku is watching the Sports Festival when it happens. The flickers of red and orange that spread across Bakugo's body like crackling charges. The way his explosions become twice as pronounced. The way he sees All Might, skeleton All Might, grin like a proud father. He can almost see where he could've been, lightning crackling up his veins if All Might hadn't said no. If All Might hadn't crushed his dreams and adoration in the palms of his hands like an unsightly weed. Izuku had wondered why All might had even hinted at Izuku having a chance. Why he had hesitated the second time they crossed paths before All Might ignored him. Why he gave Izuku so much information and then never bothered with him again. Until he realized. He was just Quirkless Izuku. All Might knew he couldn't do anything about it. He knew no one would believe him either. Izuku resents this as much as he resents the fact that All Might's assumption was correct. In a world full of superpowers, Izuku is not only powerless - he's forgettable.
And he's glad that Kacchan got it, really! He glad that he gets to achieve his dream of being number one He hadn't needed any help. Izuku's glad that Kacchan won't have competition! He never does. Really it's great! It's not like All Might acted any differently than the general populance anyway! It's not like All Might knew how it feels to be powerless. Except...Except he does. Not only can he only use his quirk for three hours, he was Quirkless. Because Izuku searched up the damaging fight for hours, searched up every scrap of information he could find. And it was surprisingly easy to find All Might's real name and cross reference it with his buried high school records. Three years ago, heck, even three months ago, he would've been so glad to see that. Glad to have found someone (his idol!) who understood. But All Might refused to give Izuku a chance. He refused to look past Izuku's quirk status. All Might, he realized, had deemed him worthless. And doesn't that sting, that All Might said no on the roof and then scolded him for jumping in only hours later when he saved Kacchan's life. Two months ago, he was listening to the sound of his dreams shattering. Two months ago, he was reading the application response for his Gen-ed application, denied because quirk equality only mattered on paper not practice. Two months ago, he was cutting his heart on the shards of his hope, aching and drowning and burning. Now - now there's just ice sliding through his veins. Now there's just grief for the things that could have been, if the world was kind enough to lend an ear. Kind enough to give a chance. Bakugo's explosions draws his attention back to the screen. Izuku sits, and watches, and breathes. Izuki can do nothing except sit, watch and breathe. And the fog rolls back in.
Okay but consider, Might Gai and Kakashi in a dance off, and they ask their genin for the dance genre, but their genin want revenge on Kakashi because he never has his mask down, is always late and makes training harder for Gai's team everytime he is mentioned, and they choose ballerina. And then convince Gai that it isn't proper ballet unless you dress up in it. Kakashi initially says no, but is goaded into it by Gai.
Alternatively, what Might Gai had a kazoo
Things that are in canon that I find interesting: (Villains)
Both Afo and All Might use strength Quirks and a lot of them instead of any other? Like if Afo used the permeability for example, or even just Hagakure's. He had a plan that was well-thought out, but the end result was not smart at all? He was affected by the quirk discrimination, even dismisses Best Jeanists quirk as being too hard to control- doesn't want to spend time mastering things and basically has minimal control over his Quirks. Like if he had stolen Shinsou's he would only need one other quirk ( a quirk that forces one to respond to questions) (maybe something with electronics) and no one would be able to stop him. It's legit said that he has like thousands but the only ones we really see are these strength quirks.
His manipulation of Shigaraki- made him really immature and childish, which, kinda dumb, even if you just want him as a pawn.
Red Shoe Theory: Shigaraki was originally Quirkless and Afo gave him the quirk so he was conviently crying in an alley after people ignore him to be approached and twisted. Both Shigaraki and Izuku have same shoes, and they need the special shoes because of the extra toe joint. (Also stolen)
