đNOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTERđ
It's here!! You can find the link right here! The Kickstarter is now live as of 2pm EST! The campaign will only run for four weeks, so it ends on November 1st! Remember that the Early Bird tiers are only for the first week until October 11th, so if you want the best price, pledge now!
Also remember that even if you don't want the Deku hat, but you possibly want the Dynamight or Shoto hat instead, you have to pledge the hat tier! This helps fully fund the kickstarter which will then lead to the stretch goals for those hats! If we end up not reaching those goals the last day and you're no longer interested, you can always take your pledge away :)
Stay tuned for more info about the Kickstarter as it goes on! Please please share this around so that people can see it! I don't have the largest following so I truly appreciate every bit of support that this project can get!đđ
âNothing.â
âNo small pink birds here whatsoever.â

*very slowly hides Pino out of sight*
    âUwaâwhatcha got there?â
â iâm used to people generally not giving a shit about me. doesnât mean i canât still choose to care regardless of whether not people will care back. â
â iâm not kind because i expect anything from it. i do it because i like how it feels. because people have not generally been kind to me and i donât want to be that sort of person to someone else who.  â
â why didnât you ever tell me you were dealing with so much?  you didnât have to keep this to yourself. â
â itâs okay. i donât need you to help meâŚbut if you wanna stick around while i fix it myself i wouldnât mind the company. â
â i generally donât like people as a rule. but i donât mind you. so uh, donât fuck that up for me alright? next time youâre in trouble just call me. â
â are you sure you donât want me to stay? â
â you know i can tell when youâre lying. so you can either talk about whatâs wrong or we can just sit here together. either way, i wonât let you do this alone.  â
â no, i donât need you. but i do want you. my life is fine without you, but itâs great when youâre in it. i donât need to be dependent on you for this relationship to be important. â
â well, i already did the âkicking their ass for being a jerkâ part. now iâm doing the whole, showing up for you and making sure youâre okay now part. â
â i donât want to be like this. i want to change but i donât know where to start. â
â i see you. i just wanted you to know that. i always see you. â
â i havenât really done the whole dating thing in a while but, do you want to? we could go to dinnerâor coffee? â
â weâre having a spa night, okay? i already have a bath started and there are face masks on the counter. no arguments. we need this. â
â donât start giving me the damn puppy eyes i was already gonna say âyesâ okay? â
â this is a bad idea but iâm already committed so i might as well not half-ass being a dumbass. â
â i always feel better when youâre here. â
â iâm going to give you a hug now but if you tell anyone about it i will have to kill you. â
â did you just flip off that old guy? â
â i know youâll lie to me if i ask if youâre okay so iâm skipping past that part and telling you to go home and get some rest. â
â you know iâm not good for you right? thereâs probably a hundred other people you could be going to right now instead of me. â
â can i say something here? or do you need another minute of rambling before i get to do the part where i say what you need to hear and you realize youâre freaking out over nothing? â
â donât you get that i need you? youâre always going on about being fine and being able to manage on your own and iâm sure thatâs true. but what if iâm not? what if i need you in my life. and i need you to let me help you with your life too? â
â i know youâve been having a shit time so i brought some food. â
â heyâ get your hands off my plate. i made you your own. â
â i know you like the rain, but itâs getting cold. you need to come in before you get sick. â
â i knew iâd find you here. â
â if i tell you my eyes are red from weed and not because i was crying will you do me the favor of pretending to believe me? â
He watched as her usual smile finally came back. It made him happy that he could cheer her up.
Rody couldnât hold his own smile back as she spoke with more energy this time around. It seemed his words really did mean something to her. âThere you go. Thatâs the mindset you should have.â He smiled bigger. âYouâre exactly where you need to be to achieve the best version of yourself. Itâs okay to have worries and doubts, but never forget that you will reach your end goal.â
He glanced at her fist before looking back at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. A small laugh came from him. He wasnât used to the word âheroâ being directed towards him. âYeah, youâre welcome. Iâm glad I could help and thanks for... confiding in me.â It was usually hard for Rody to trust others so easily. Thus, it was nice to see that his friend trusted him enough to express her own worries to him.
Ochako's hands turned to fists at her sides, brows furrowing before she shut her eyes. Of course he was right but...it made her feel like...she wasn't enough. "I...can't even make the life of my parents easier. And I don't want to feel like...like I'm not a good heroine." She sighed and opened her eyes. "It's just...I've seen how fragile this whole world is and I wish I could do more, even if I can't do anything for myself."
She put on a sad smile. "I guess that's a silly thought, huh?"

His smile widened at the class president's permission. âGreat!â Rody hopped a few times, as if to warm up his legs, while he moved farther away from the edge to get some good running distance.
He was radiating confidence as he got into a running position, even though he hadnât done this in a while. Rody trusted that his body would know what to do naturally after doing parkour for so many years.
And away he went, sprinting past the hero-in-training and launching himself off the edge of the building. It was nice to feel the wind rush against him like this again. After the hangtime over the large gap had ended, Rodyâs feet hit the ground first as the rest of his body followed in a somersault-type roll. It was a hard landing due to the the distance of the jump, but it was a landing nonetheless.
He made it!
@rody-soulâ continued from x
   although rody was right in the fact that iida would save him if something were to happen to him in this session, iida was still worried that the jump was too much of a gap.Â
     âyeah, butâŚâ he would take a breath as he scanned the jump once more and shrugged his shoulders. âalright, if you think you can do it then go right ahead and i will be there to save you if anything happens.â his legs were itching to run anyway, but if rody thought he could do this, iida was going to let him. this was training after all, if they didnât push themselves then what good would this be?
Gray met green, and that contact was held as Deku spoke. Rody was as red as ever. Did.. did Deku just confess-?
Pino came bursting out of Rody's coat pocket, chirping all kinds of nonsense as she flew around in circles. Happy sounding nonsense. After her brief celebration, she was heading straight for Deku. Rody grabbed the bird in a panic, knowing what would have happened if he allowed her to keep flying.
"Ah- um- sorry she-" Words were suddenly hard, especially now that Pino gave away how Rody was feeling in that moment.
Rody let out a sigh to try and ease his nerves. He then leaned down and rested his forehead on Deku's shoulder in defeat, partially hiding from embarrassment. "You have no idea how many times I had to keep Pino out of your sight. She could have given me away at any moment..." He mumbled out while holding said bird in his hands.

 Oh he actually did it, Izuku feeling his heart pound in his chest now. Alright Izuku you can do this youâve held hands with people before this isnât any different! Yet the thought of it was making his heart go faster and a tinge of pink come to his face.  Taking the plunge and just going for it the greenette quickly placed his hands into Rodyâs to hold them.
In the envelope was a heart-shaped letter that was folded up to be able to fit inside. The thing was cheesily decorated with valentineâs stickers and drawings. Looks like Roro and Lala had a hand in helping their big brother. Even the inside was decorated- maybe they went a little overboard.
Among the lovely decorations was a simple question in Rodyâs handwriting:Â Will you be my valentine, Izuku?
âI hope you know the correct answer, hero.â
@rody-soulâ said:Â âDeku!â He called out as Pino flew ahead of him with a small envelope in her beak, almost crashing into the green-haired hero. âYouâre surprisingly a tough guy to find.â He came to a stop a few feet from Izuku. Rody had a red metal tin in his hands, as well as an All Might themed box of chocolates. Floating alongside him was a red heart-shaped balloon. Was the balloon too much? It was, wasnât it? âUm... I never really... Got to celebrate this sort of occasion, so I hope what I have is alright.â
Izuku was on his way to the dorms when Pino practically flew straight at him! He gasped from surprise. âP-Pino!âÂ
He took the envelope from her mouth and looked up when he saw Rody and all of the gifts that were in his hands.Â
Immediately, his face practically bled red. Steam practically came out of his ears and a brief high-pitched whine fell from his lips. âR-Rody...?!â Swallowing hard, he approached his boyfriend. âY-you got all of this for me?!âÂ
How was he supposed to react to this?! Heâd never gotten a Valentineâs Day gift before! Much less, not from someone he was dating! Ah! It felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest!
âJust pulling your leg, bud. I promise Iâm well-hydrated and Iâm doing.. okay in the sleep department.âÂ
@rody-soulâ
âYou canât tell me what to do.â
     âi might not be able to make you sleep or drink water, but it does beg the question on how youâre doing.â
Eh, I'll figure this out later. Rody Soul RP Blog !!WHM spoilers!!
