I enjoyed MHA but there was always and undercurrent of imposter syndrome that never was addressed. Midoriya's quirklessness and societal discrimination was barely explored.

Me: blast past USJ with half a sentence. Sports Fest? A few paragraphs of retrospective. Also me: 10k+ in prep to fight Stain and he's not even attacking yet In other news a new chapter is out at AO3.

Page 1: Midoriya cutting his nails again even though he just did it last week, Todoroki says he should be careful he doesn't cut them too the quick. Midoriya says he doesn't want to scratch Todoroki's back. Todoroki realizes he's doing it for his sake, swoons, and invites Midoriya to bed.

I've updated Makeshift Curriculum with a new chapter. This chapter suffers a paucity of Izuku, but I wanted to get it out and lay some more ground work before the next bit. And also I find it funny. I'm writing for myself here. archiveofourown.org/works/586023...

Oblivious super-simp Shouto strikes again

Posted a new chapter. I'm sure I'll find some misspelling that slipped past my several read-throughs in a few weeks. archiveofourown.org/works/586023...

Should I do fic recs? Maybe I'll do fic recs

When they were divvying up students Nedzu: we have two talented students whose inferiority complexes are thinly veiled by interpersonal aggression and a pathological need to be "the best." They're both blond. Kan, hurriedly: I'll take the one who isn't a bomb Aizawa, tiredly: fuck

Regarding ships I love gen fic, but I also read a lot of shipper fic. There are some ships that just don't speak to me, though.

This friendship is so great, I need to find a way to shoehorn Monoma into the friend group I wanna set up in my fic

I love the VA they chose for Knuckleduster here, and the specific scenes they chose for the trailer were fabulous. youtu.be/iF7Hp24b9ak?...

Fic update coming soon. I'll post a short chapter today or tomorrow and queue a second short one for next week, rather than posting one long chapter immediately. Meanwhile, I've got a fight scene to write. By "short" I mean under 10k. I'm not actually capable of brevity.

This is what pushed me to write fic again for the first time in over a decade. Knuckleduster is just so damn cool. There isn't enough Knuckleduster on ao3 and I have always loved the "For Want of A Nail"-style quirkless Midoriya stories. #bnha #mha #vigilantes #knuckleduster

Current WIP: archiveofourown.org/works/586023... Quirkless Izuku fails the UA hero course exam, so he becomes an apprentice to the closest thing Japan has to a quirkless hero: Naruhata vigilante Knuckleduster Aizawa finds a baby vigi and decides what he really needs is extra homework
