Y'ALL!!! I JUST SAW AN ANIMATION SOMEONE MADE OF MIC KISSING AOYAMA ON THE LIPS!!! 🤢🤢🤢

So...I was giving permission from @cheshiresartblog to write this story idea based off of their Nomu Trio AU. It’s an idea that I got after listening to The Princess and the Frog soundtrack for hours on end.

I really, really shouldn’t be doing this because I have other AU stories in mind (one of them being a huge crossover), but since this is based off of two things that I’ve watched (in BNHA’s case watched and read) I think it’ll be easier to write. So here’s the basic plot.

WARNING: Spoilers for BNHA and The Princess and the Frog ahead! Will also contain mentioning of depression, suicide, and disturbing themes.

Shouta, Hizashi, and Oboro have been dating each other since high school and dream of opening a hero agency using an old abandoned building.

Years pass by, and something happens to Oboro and Hizashi, causing them to ‘die’ in battle. Shouta went into a spiral of depression and hardly interacts with his family and friends. Nemuri decides to help Shouta reconnect with society by taking him to a party. But at said party, Shouta hears some devastating news.

The building where he and his late boyfriends were planning to set up their hero agency was going to be bought by some land developers.

Shouta ran back home as grieves over not only the loss of his boyfriends, but the loss of the one dream that they shared. While on his way home, he doesn’t pay attention and gets hit by a car.

As he’s rushed to the hospital, the doctor who works for AfO tells Shouta’s family that he had ‘died’ due to committing suicide, and proceeds to take him to AfO to be turned into a Nomu.

More years past and Kakureru works for the League of Villains, but he feels like he’s missing something and tries to remember his past. Suddenly, he remembers that the doctor that supposedly saved his life was the one who killed him in the first place.

He was the one who was driving the car that killed him.

After convincing the flirty Raiu and the music-loving Kurogiri to leave the LoV with him, they start to connect with each other. Shigaraki, Toga, and Dabi tagged along because they had nothing better to do.

Then the three Nomu start to remember who they were, which causes them to question themselves.

Now they must choose to follow their new dreams or going back to their old lives.

Roles (Still trying to decide who’s who):

Aizawa Shouta/Kakureru: Tiana

Yamada Hizashi/Raiu: Prince Naveen

Shirakumo Oboro/Kurogiri: Louis and Ray

All for One: Dr. Facilier

Kayama Nemuri/Midnight: Charlotte

The Doctor: Lawrence

(If anyone has any idea who should play what role in the story, please leave your ideas in the comments)

Why. Why does this describe me to a tee? This post is just calling out to me. Just...why?

maybe this list of autistic traits in girls is cursing me out … maybe its spitting in my face … maybe its making me feel the full extent of my autism … anyways. i want one of those big stuffed elephants

New templates, new templates!

If you’re knee-deep in chapter 83 and your characters haven’t even locked eyes yet (we salute your dedication)—or staring down a fix-it fic with dangerously high emotional stakes—we’ve got some templates to help you plan and transform the stories you love.

Find three new templates in Ellipsus (just choose from template when you start a new doc).

The Canon Divergence Template—break the timeline, rewrite the rules, and give your faves the ending they deserve. The Fandom Ship Template—map your ship’s emotional arc, from first emotionally repressed gaze to cathartic confession. The AU Planning Template—modernize, magicalize, or make em rival antique shop owners (you know you want to).

Read the full post over on the blog, and may your slow burns always pay off.

My Brain while I was working on Rewritten Sparks:

Continuing with the question, why did you have difficulty between choosing the canon version and the prototype version of Bakugou?

Hello!

-

First and foremost, the comedic potential of prototype Bakugou, versus the more serious potential of canon Bakugou.

Prototype Bakugou would be funnier than canon Bakugou, as friends tend to be the most savage people to you, thus making it easier to laugh, especially since he says stuff without intending to be mean. It would make the serious moments all the more striking, too, but it would be a hard balance, especially as I don't view myself as very funny while writing.

Canon Bakugou presents a more serious side, as he represents a lot of what's wrong with hero society - the hyperfixation of quirks, an imaginative hierarchy that he stands at the top of, looking down on and beating the weak rather than protecting them, viewing heroism as a means to an end rather than a lifestyle.

The challenges differ as well, with Prototype Bakugou needing a good execution of the balance between comedy and serious topics, while Canon Bakugou's redemption has to be executed in such a way that feels realistic, but not frustratingly so.

I ended up sticking with canon Bakugou's set up, as I preferred his challenge. As someone who suffered from abuse and bullying, it really challenged me to think - about what my abusers and/or bullies would have had to do in order for me, not to forgive them, but to acknowledge that they truly have changed for the better.

It also felt right, to have someone so cruel, like Bakugou, become a hero. Because one of the messages is: 'not everyone can become a hero, but everyone has the capacity for heroism'.

Making this message work for Bakugou, for canon Bakugou, is very interesting to me, and I think I have a good plan for it too.

Prototype Bakugou, while he would be an interesting character, leaves a hole for the archetype that canon Bakugou would represent: the redeemed hero. Someone who starts as a horrible person and learns to become kinder.

It's an archetype that I love, which is why I did not like Bakugou in canon at all, because the execution was horrible.

Thanks for the ask!

For @nutzgunray-lvt since I can't send you an ask nor a message:

How do you feel about Mic being dismissed throughout the series? For me, it inspired the importance of Sunny Day's (my AU version of Mic) role in Rewritten Sparks. She's a lot more involved in the plot and rather than just being support for my AU version of Aizawa, the two of them support each other equally.

I have these questions about your rewrite: Will the first Izuku still get One for All or does the power work differently in your AU? Will the League of Villains be different from your AU? Like they already appear dangerous from the beginning? Among all the characters, which one are you most excited to show in your AU?

ANOTHER ASK!!!???

Nah, but in all seriousness thanks!

Spoilers for Rewritten Sparks Ahead

First things first, Izuku will still be getting OfA. However, he will not only be getting a separate power-up, but will rely on gadgets like in the original My Hero oneshot. His character is a bit inspired by Lauren Faust's DSG Batgirl. He's still the lovable, awkward hero nerd, but his a bit of a Cloud Cuckoolander and an inventor.

For the LOV, they're going to still be antagonists, but leaning towards more as an actual activist group. I heard someone mention this, but it’s a bit upsetting that Shigaraki nor the other members don't really help out people like him. Especially since they're supposed to be sympathetic villains. So I decided to add more to their backstories. Especially one particular member.

Finally, who am I looking forward to introducing?

Honestly...Sunny Day.

"Oh, shocker! RaeJ wants to introduce her self-insert/kinsona version of Present Mic the most!"

Just hear me out.

This AU originally started as a Jem and the Holograms-inspired AU featuring Present Mic. If you’re interested, I can tell you more another time. It's grown a lot since then, but because Sunny was the first character I designed, there's a lot to her character that I added.

But she going to be important to the plot in more ways than one. You'll just have to wait and see how!

You know it's bad when one of the CEOs of Erasermic calls Aizawa out.

I saw that some ppl were having a discussion abiut Aizawa and Mics relationship. And yes Aizawa did actually say "I'm lookin forward to a future without you"

Its in Book 4 part 6/chapter 26 in School Briefs.

My baby boy! She's so sweet! I can't!

Thanks again, @weregreatatcrime!

Just look at her confused birb face!

A commission I did for @anartisicandautisticstararcher ! I love her sm

Specifically Vol 4 Chapter 22.

Even Shinsou thought that Mineta should've been expelled. FREAKING SHINSOU!!!

Hi @anartisicandautisticstararcher 👋

Yeah at this point I don't know why mineta wasn't expelled from UA.

I still don't understand how teachers and people saw mineta's behaviour and simply said nothing. They just let it happen.

Like remember what he did to the girls in the Sports Festival by getting them to wear cheerleaders uniforms or what he done to momo in particular by literally attaching himself to her.

THIS IS ON LIVE TELEVISION!!?!?!?!

Aren't momos parents influential and rich why didn't they do something about this?

Heck, this isn't even something that he does once. NO, he does it multiple times.

Heck, mineta's pervy and inappropriate behaviour happen so often that there are literal YouTube video compilations of them reaching more than 5 minutes. For a side character who doesn't get much screentime for all of it to be centred around you, being a pathetic sexual harraser is absurd to me.

Also, let's not forget that this is the character that hori claims to be his self insert because he also describes himself to be a bit of a perv.

I...wha?

What were your reasons for doing your rewrite, besides the negative points of canon? I'm just curious.

Hello!

-

Initially, I was inspired due to my main blog's 'mha critical' posts. As I started evaluating MHA with a more objective and critical eye, I began noticing more and more areas that needed significant improvement.

It was never about writing a better story than Horikoshi, (though I do want to achieve that), but about writing a satisfying story for myself and mamy other fans who were disappointed by the writing.

I've said as much in a post on my main blog, but the biggest critique I have about MHA is how Horikoshi is really good at setting things up, but falls flat on the execution.

My rewrite will take those set-ups, and I will do my best to execute them properly, with hopefully satisfying results. Or maybe unsatisfying if I intend it to be.

While spite-writing can be good for fics such as vents-fics or bashing-fics, I prefer to go into these kinds of fics with a more open mind. Rather than focusing on being better than MHA or Horikoshi, I focus on writing the story I would enjoy.

I think everything culminated both when the ending came out and it was one of the worst endings I've ever read, and seeing many other rewrite blogs surfacing, such as @rewrittenmha and @anartisicandautisticstararcher's Rewritten Sparks AU. It inspired me to write my own.
