in honor of that post going around about andrew becoming a lawyer once he retires
i raise you, once neil motherfucking josten is allowed to retire from exy and his dues are paid: he becomes a math professor
just imagine that
him receiving a letter one day, when he's in his mid forties, from ichirou, saying that he's paid his debt, that he's free to do what he wants
and neil, bless his heart, instead of allowing himself some much needed and deserved rest, thinks, what else could i make a living out because god forbid he does nothing with his days
(cue andrew screaming into a pillow somewhere)
and like that he goes back to university, gets a degree in teaching maths however that's called, and suddenly they're professor in maths husband with lawyer husband
(honestly that's so hot of them)
like imagine, you're an accountant student, getting ready for your calculus class (or some other difficult physics or math class), your classmate turns to you
"hey did you hear mr. thompson retired? it was about time not gonna lie, but i heard from some girls that he was some messed up looking guy, these people have lost their minds hiring thugs now"
and you nod bc what else are you supposed to do
and you sit there waiting, until five minutes from the start of the class, he walks in in all his auburn scarred glory, your exy idol, the guy who you followed until he retired and dropped off the face in the earth, and you think what the fuck is neil josten doing here
and then
"hello everyone, my name is neil josten, im your new [advanced mathematics] professor, today we're just gonna check the syllabus"
iconic
jackie kinda sorta halfway fucked travis once and now like a bad pre-realization hookup she cant stop texting him from the grave telling him all about her lesbian situationship and her bisexual best friend and how they used to make out under the covers and shit. and travis is just like cool. i love this drama tell me more
🚭don't smo- actually I think the other thing is also not good🚭
Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!
Who is the story about? First two words, next question.
Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.
Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.
Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.
Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!
The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches
Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones

making it right (for real this time) by ladyofsnails
Summary: Deku, who he’d dreamed of being a hero with when they were kids. Deku, who was quirkless and crushed that dream. Deku, who was told he was useless every day of his life and yet never gave up. Deku, who always strove to achieve his dreams despite the fact that Katsuki was so sure he couldn’t, and who pissed Katsuki off because of it.
Deku, who he’d only stopped being mad at after he gave up on that dream. After the world and Katsuki broke him down.
Deku, who forgave him even before he apologized. Who he didn’t deserve.
Deku, who was probably more heroic than Katsuki ever was.
Fuck. What had he done?

Do You Know Midoriya, From The Support Course? by theamandarogers
Summary: “Looks like you got hit with Cupid’s arrow,” Sero chimes from his seat.
“You could say that,” Kirishima says with a sheepish smile.
“SPILL!” Mina and Denki shout at the same time, lunging forward to place their hands on his desk, getting in his personal space to urge him on.
“Hmm, ok well.. do you know Midoriya, from the Support Course?”
That seems to get everyone’s attention, even if it was said in a slightly hushed tone to his friends directly in front of him.
He suddenly feels like a piece of meat, floating in the middle of a school of piranhas. All eyes and attention suddenly focused on the spiky red head.

Fuck, but he's hot though by Gruffgami
Summary: Izuku was ready for just about anything. He was prepared - emotionally, physically, spiritually, All Mightily - for just about anything but a brash, aggressive, annoying, thoughtful, kind and sometimes...flustered Bakugo Katsuki.
— — —
“Icyhot got you first?” Katsuki gaped at him, “Fucking hipster edge-lord has had you working on his costume – of course, you made those temperature bombs? Sharing his quirk is genius, so of course it wasn’t his idea. I can’t believe he didn’t-“
“Kacchan,” Izuku scolded, voice close to fond. And then it all halted abruptly. He hadn’t meant to – thought he had better control, thought he was going to be able to keep the past out of it all, “…uh.”
And it was only when his eyes flicked back to Katsuki that he realised the other man was blushing again.
They both half-started sentences, fumbling.
Thankfully, Katsuki got his shit together faster than Izuku.

Support class by silverynight
Summary: Izuku is quite happy in support class; when he was a child and found out he was quirkless he thought he wasn't going to be able to enter UA. Now he's in support class and if he's being honest, he absolutely loves it; he's really excited whenever someone comes to him or sends their suits to the lab for Izuku to repair them or improve them.
The only problem is that his childhood friend, Bakugo Katsuki, goes to that school too (he's in a hero course) and they didn't part on good terms. Katsuki started to be mean to Izuku in front of his other friends, but at the same time got upset when Izuku decided not to speak to him anymore.
However, Bakugo doesn't visit the lab often and when he does, Izuku is conveniently elsewhere. Besides, they say he usually goes there to complain about his suit.

Short comic based on last mha ep.
Inwoo: [notices Jongwoo's bracelet]
Inwoo: You two are preposterous.
Moonjo: Usually these words mean nothing, but coming from you is almost laughable.
Inwoo: Shut up. I'm not gonna explain myself again.
Jongwoo: What are you two talking about?
Moonjo: His shameful secret.
Inwoo: It's not-
Moonjo: Inwoo is preparing a gift for someone. Jagi, you remember that writer you met before?
Jongwoo: Who?
Jongwoo: Wait... Yook Dongsik?!
Jongwoo: You kidding? Him? Them? How!?
Inwoo, interrupting them: It's not a gift! Moonjo is stupid and understood it all wrong.
Moonjo: Really? [in his most patronizing tone] Would you mind showing it to us then? So there are no more misunderstandings.
Inwoo: [angrily leads the way to his study]
Inwoo: [pulls a curtain previously covering a wall]
Inwoo: I don't expect you lowlife morons to understand, but this here is my project. A deadly trap, divided in seventy-five stages, each one harder to crack than the one before. It's designed to be torturous. So diabolical that anyone trapped in it would wish me dead and wish to die a thousand times a day.
Inwoo: [shows the wall completely covered from top to bottom with scribbled papers, post-its, images, red strings, textures, drawings, long calculations, mini lists titled "what Dongsik would do here", and more]
Jongwoo: Wow.
Inwoo: Right, it's really impres-
Jongwoo: It's just like the escape rooms Dongsik loves, but in larger scale.
Inwoo: What? No-
Jongwoo: What a nice gift, Inwoo-ssi. I'm sure he's gonna enjoy it.
Inwoo: For the last time, it's NOT a gift. And it's not supposed to be enjoyable. He will hate me even more after this. He may even die before it ends. It's not for his enjoyment, it's for mine!
Moonjo, pointing at something on the wall: Why is there a fire extinguisher in the scenario of stage twenty-eight?
Inwoo: For safety.
Moonjo: Safety?
Inwoo: Yes. And don't look at me like that. It would be stupid to let him die by accident in a fire, with so many more interesting stages after this one.
Jongwoo, squinting his eyes: There is also an antidote available in the poisonous stage...?
Inwoo: In case he chooses wrong and eats the wrong sweet, yes- But there is a charade to get that, it's not for free. What is so difficult to understand here?
Inwoo: [angrily puts curtain back in place]
Inwoo: You two lack VISION. Get out.
sorry…. were you gonna eat that? *points to human remains*
Neil and Andrew are like geese. Loud and mean and violent but with undying adoration for their mate. I once knew this goose who very much did not like me but one day his goose wife decided I was chill and that she wanted to hang out with me. Goose husband, of course, did not want to be away from his goose wife because he followed her everywhere, and since his wife followed me everywhere that meant he had to deal with me but instead of attacking me like he used to he would just kinda goose mutter-hiss at me from a couple feet away because although he didn’t fuck with me his wife did so he agreed to let me metaphorically come clubbing with them for Halloween
Along with this, geese also have a lack of regard for the government and a lust for crime
