i think a lot of fic writers who are trying to stay in-character would benefit highly from figuring out some characters’ senses of humor and just… letting them be funny in different ways. ime i’m taken out of the story not during the serious and angsty moments, but most often when the writer inserts a line that they clearly think is funny but just reads so completely ooc for the specific character—polar opposite of the char’s usual word choice and humor, that it almost always immediately pings me as “something the author inserted because they personally think it’s funny.” more often than not i can probably tell when it’s actually the writer speaking, not the character, and it happens a looot with humor.

every time someone calls the class from bnha a found family an angel dies. guys they are friends. thats what having friends is like. their teacher isnt their dad he is their mentor. each student has their own real individual family who loves them. except Shoto

oh my god making grilled cheese with dabi idk why

you should draw hawks x overhaul

Who are you. Come off anon I just wanna talk bro. Come a little closer I don’t bite. Just just C’mere

i've been trying to figure out the reason for the very hollow feeling after last chapter and i think it's like -

before anyone gets on my ass, again, i think the past few chaps divorced from everything else were very well done, more so than many of the previous chaps. but in the grand scheme of the entire story i'm kinda like,

what am i even rooting for the villains' survival for?

i mean in a different sense than my pessimism about them either dying or ending up in prison, like, even if they got the best ending possible and escaped somewhere. because at this point jin IS dead and IF himiko is also dead (and possibly dabi idk) it's like,

why do i even WANT anyone to survive at this point

they've lost so much. the only things they had were each other to begin with. and now they don't even have that either.

i'm not trying to rail against people moving on and living a fulfilling life after losing loved ones, but these are characters, who aren't going to get that story, for one. for two, these are characters who had major parts of their growth and belonging hinge on one another, who emphasized feeling acceptance and camaraderie, often for the first time, when they came together. take that all away and it just feels so -

lonely.

why would i want the rest to survive to just be the Only One(s) left?

I'm at the movie theater to escape the heat and almost the entire row in front of me is just a group of 12 year olds... send help

dabi with the head of endeavor.

I have a lot of thoughts about why Dabi pretended not to see Aoyama here. It's implied he knows Aoyama is the traitor, but even so Dabi chooses not to mention Aoyama's interference to All for One. And to some extent, it's likely because Touya doesn't trust All for One and he knows they have different end goals in mind. He might have some embers of sympathy considering that like Aoyama, All for One attempted to use Touya because of the downstream effects of his parents' bad life decisions. But then there's also this

The terrified position Aoyama is taking here is something Touya would be more than familiar with as well...
