Now Just Imagine The Characters Seeing/doing This

Truly a torture

You know what I just realized… if the Dabi Todoroki theory is true… then Dabi is the only child who got ALL of Endeavor’s looks. He got the red hair, the eyes, the quirk- everything. He looked like Endeavor the most out of all the kids- even Shouto.

And yeah that’s obvious lol but like,,, imagine what that must mean for his relationship with his mom.

Imagine how hard it must have been for her to be in the same room as the kid who looks like Endeavor, How fear must have entered her eyes for a split second every time she saw him. And as she grew worse she probably couldn’t even stand to look at him or be in the same room, and the older he got the more he looked like Endeavor, and he probably noticed.

How could you NOT notice, and at first he must have been so confused, scared he did something wrong, and goes out of his way to try and make it right, only to notice it’s getting worse.

Imagine the crushing realization he must of had when he realized his mother didn’t like him, that his mother was scared of him.

We know she was close to Shouto, and even tho we don’t know her relationship with the other kids I would assume that she would be closer to the ones who didn’t remind her of Endeavor.

And a little kid would notice that.

What if he grew to hate his looks. The looks that made his mother hate him.

And that’s what made him change his hair color and scar his face and body.

As to not be reminded of the fear in his mother’s eyes every time he looked in a mirror…

It’s just a theory ofc but like, if Dabi is a Todoroki his relationship with his mom would be VERY strained.

There are 3 brands of character songs, any song you associate with a character will fit one or more of these categories:

1. The lyrics fit

2. The song just carries those Character Vibes, often times inexplicably, regardless of lyrics

3. You really liked that song at the same time you liked the character

These are the facts

Wait

You mean that this didn't happened in the manga ?!?!?

WHY?!!??!

Mama Momo

Eri: Deku-san, Momo-san. . .

Deku: Hm?

Momo: What is it Eri-chan?

Eri: *Looks around* What's. . . going on?

*The three were walking through the city where all around they saw family spending the day with each other. Or mothers in particular, receiving gifts from their children*

Deku: Oh that, *Smiles* today's Mother's Day.

Eri: *Blinks* Mother's Day?

Momo: *Smiles Warmly* It's a day where families get together, showing their love and appreciation for their mothers.

Eri: *Looks down sadly* Mothers...

*Deku and Momo looked at each other and frowned. Remembering that up till now. Eri hadn't had a wonderful childhood*

Momo: *Looks down before smiling* Eri-chan?

Eri: *Looks up at Momo. Blinking as Momo crouch down before her*

Momo: How would like me to be your mother for today?

Eri & Deku: Eh?!

Momo: *Picks up Eri* I know you had a rough past what with everything you've been through. So at the very least, if only for today. I'd like to be your mother and take away your pain.

*Eri looked stunned while Deku smiled*

Eri: *Looks at Momo* If tyou're going to be my Mama... *Looks at Deku* Does that make Deku-san "Papa"?

*That made the two blush deeply*

Deku: W-Well... if that's what you want Eri-chan.

Eri: *Smiles widely and hugs them both* Okay!

Deku & Momo: *Smiles and hugs Eri*

-Meanwhile in different location-

Inko/Mrs. Yaoyorozu: *Clutches Heart* I've just gained a beautiful grandchild.

Killing off characters: the shoulds and shouldn’ts

1. Why you should

The death is a major plot point

It reveals some shocking plot twist

It supports your themes/what you’re trying to say with your book

Your novel explores the afterlife

You are George R.R Martin and the selling point of your work is that everybody dies

It suits the genre/mood of your novel

2. Why you shouldn’t

The character isn’t serving any purpose (this isn’t the Sims)

You want your readers to be shocked for the sake of being shocked

You want to be edgy

You think your MG story needs more gore

You want to romanticise grieving/loss

3. How you should

This really depends on your genre and target audience

If you’re writing something that isn’t intended to be graphic/traumatic, you can stick to the impact the death has on the other characters. If your novel explores illness, focus on that rather than on the disturbing death scene itself. Perhaps you’re writing a drama/tragic romance - you might want to ease up on the gore here. For these genres, I would suggest focusing on the emotional aspect of the death - the sobbing, the last words, the bright white lights (whatever floats your boat). Think of Mufasa in The Lion King - the actions are suspenseful, but we don’t see him being trampled with his guts spilling everywhere. But it’s still one of the most impactful deaths in fictional history.

If you’re writing in a more mature and gritty genre (like thriller, dark fantasy or crime), you can go all out. If there’s blood and guts, you readers probably want to see it in vivid detail to get their violence fix for the day.

Whichever genre your novel falls into, you should also go with what feels comfortable to you. Even if you’re writing adult dark fantasy, you don’t have to write graphic violence to make a character death impactful.

4. How you shouldn’t

Please don’t let your character have a three-pages-long monologue after they’ve been stabbed in the throat. It’s not realistic and it’s often very boring. Yes, a few well-written last words can have a great impact. Just make sure that your character would realistically be able to speak at that point and that it doesn’t become a cheese fest.

Unless you’re aiming for very dark/nihilistic humour, afford your characters some dignity in the way they kick the bucket. (e.g. don’t use the phrase “kick the bucket”). Having someone slip on a banana peel and then choke on a pretzel is a little ridiculous and will make the entire story seem silly. Once again, this really depends on what you’re going for. If your genre is serious and your character is important and beloved, try for emotion rather than whimsy.

Don’t let your characters die only to be resurrected again and again and again. Look, I love Supernatural (long may they reign), but even I have to admit that the Winchester brothers’ luck with death has become a bit ridiculous. Doing this takes away from the impact of the death - it removes the fear and suspense, and will leave your readers emotionally stunted.

5. Who you shouldn’t

Your only female character in a bid to make the male hero feel something and become a better person

Your only LGBTQIA+ character, who is just too pure to live in this terrible world

Your only character of colour, who dies to save the white hero

Your only disabled character, who can now finally find release from life with disability

The one character who has never experienced a sliver of joy and bears the brunt of the tragedy, right when happiness is finally within their reach

The main character in the middle of the story - unless you have a REALLY good plan for what happens next

Beyond the terrific bite those magnificent beasts also have 3 layer of defence

1° the deeper : a rather tought skin

And finally the number 3 : FU$%&@G BONE PLATES THAT GROW ON THEIRS BACKS

Forget prince charming those dudes right here are the real knights

I can’t stop thinking about crocodiles for some reason so here’s some cool pictures I found of probably the second largest one in captivity, his name is Utan:

isn’t he beautiful

listen to the SOUND when he bites

and that’s not even a real power bite, that’s mostly just heavy bone falling on heavy bone from his jaws and the air rushing out from between them

supervillains fucking hate fighting the x-men because the teams change constantly and sometimes there are??? totally new people there???? fuck there’s a teenager who literally just has eyes all over his body. is he even technically a superhero yet or is he a student. who the fuck knows. how do we counter this shit

i appreciate horikoshi so much bc like it wouldve been so damn easy to make a sexy cat girl student at UA IT WOULDVE FIT IN PERFECTLY BUT HE DOESNT HE MAKES A WEIRD FROG GIRL EVERYONE LOVES BC SHE’S SO DIFFERENT (AND PERFECT AND ADORABLE)

HE MAKES A GIRL W HUGE TIDDIES WHO IS THE SMARTEST IN THE CLASS AND THE MOST PROPER LADY OF THEM ALL

HE TAKES THE SILLY LOVABLE KAWAII PRINCESS W THE BIG PINK CHEEKS

AND MAKES HER FIGHT THE MOST TERRIFYING BOY IN THE CLASS

AND SHE IS A FUCKING BEAST

A BEAST THAT THIS GUY 100% RESPECTS AND CONSIDERS A BEAST FROM THE START, AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATES

HE MAKES MINA

IDEK WHAT SHE IS BUT I LOVE HER THEYRE ALL SO UNIQUE IN AN ANIME WORLD WHERE MONSTER GIRLS ARE ALWAYS USED FOR SEXY JOKES AND CONSTANT FAN SERVICE, AND ALMOST ALWAYS LOOK LIKE A COPY/PASTED VERSION OF THE LAST

HE TAKES A CONCEPT THAT HAS BASICALLY BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH AND MAKES IT SO UNIQUE

NOT ONE OF THESE GIRLS COULD BE CONFUSED FOR THE OTHER AND IN A CAST THIS BIG THATS A MIGHTY FEAT
