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

Thank you to @softneomiro for pointing out some resemblances I hadn't seen before!
I might’ve fallen in love with @shima-draws‘ support hero! deku and I wanted to see a version in which Midoriya has long since aspired to be one I freakin’ loved the story and design of SH!Deku, I’m in love
Bonus:
Deku is a sentimental fool and Bakugou Katsuki is just tired of having to dry up tears
Does anyone else think that after the foxes grappled with the "happy 19th junior" scene Allison was like "okay, are we just going to ignore the fact that Neil is actually a Capricorn and not an Aries?" Just for Nicky to nod furiously "I didn't want to be the first to say it, but damn so many things make so much sense now" and everyone else looking at them like

Ofc friend I gotchu, I'm still going down the whole ao3 tag but these are some of my favorites so far in no particular order <3 (halftruth my hero, sad you're only on twitter).
Mind the tags on some of these, I don't mind a lot of this content but you may, though SFH is its own warning I feel. There's a lot of different genres and vibes in here, not all may be to your liking!

jung-wha: investigating some weird case about killing cats while it’s slow at the police station
jongwoo:
In SFH fandom, we have often asked question about this topic; why is Seo Moon Jo a Dentist ? Why teeth ?
This is just my guess, but I think it was intentionally done to pay tribute to the story High Window and to the author Raymond Chandler. Please bear with me …..
From what I’ve seen, Director Lee Chang Hee and Screenwriter Jung Yi Do, both are very intentional in everything they do in storytelling. In the original webtoon, there is no mention of Dentistry and Moon Jo isn’t really there. Yeongsam or 203 is more …. A mix of Yoo Ki Hyuk and Seo Moon Jo( more Ki Hyuk if you ask me) . Seo Moon Jo is a character that was introduced by Screenwriter and was developed by the director for the series. Hence the webtoon and series have lots of similarities, and yet lots of differences. So I wouldn’t be too surprised if they made Seo Moon Jo a Dentist, to pay tribute or to convey a message.
The High Window is a murder mystery that revolves around a missing antique gold coin called The Brasser Dabloon and Dentist and Dentistry techniques to make things play a BIG role in the story. I am so tempted to put some excerpts but that will give away major spoilers about High Window. The fact that not only Moon Jo’s a Dentist but he also makes jewelry through dentistry techniques…. I think that was included as an ode to Chandler’s High Window and also as a vessel to deliver macabre horror in SFH.
Maybe Director and/or screenwriter are big fan of Chandler and they paid tribute to the author by mentioning it at the rooftop scene and through Moon Jo’s profession and passion.
High window is an absolute amazing story and Raymond Chandler is every bit of masterful crime thriller author. I can see why it’s Jung Woo’s favorite
