I Think A Lot Of Fic Writers Who Are Trying To Stay In-character Would Benefit Highly From Figuring Out

i think a lot of fic writers who are trying to stay in-character would benefit highly from figuring out some characters’ senses of humor and just… letting them be funny in different ways. ime i’m taken out of the story not during the serious and angsty moments, but most often when the writer inserts a line that they clearly think is funny but just reads so completely ooc for the specific character—polar opposite of the char’s usual word choice and humor, that it almost always immediately pings me as “something the author inserted because they personally think it’s funny.” more often than not i can probably tell when it’s actually the writer speaking, not the character, and it happens a looot with humor.

sometimes i think of endeavor kneeling at touya’s altar, wishing that touya was still there. the dead cannot speak. you can conveniently make up your own story to suit them, imagine that the deceased son you cast aside would surely want nothing more than to be with family again. it brings me some fierce joy that dabi’s return denies that feel-good narrative, denies the desires projected onto his memory, that dabi can name the truth of why he vanished, that he can say for certain it was endeavor himself that drove him from the family and killed him in all but body. he’s no longer the child with no autonomy, no longer the dead without voice, he’s seizing the narrative and flipping it on its head and it is a euphoric moment.

Dang, there really were patients and doctors in the hospital. And they really did leverage that against Spinner and his villain riot, hoping it’ll appeal to their morals to stop them.

They, completely intentionally, put all these innocent hospital patients lives on the line to use as moral meat shields to protect Kurogiri.

Wow.

We’re supposed to root for these guys? Because that’s the kind of stuff that gets AFO taking notes.

spinner hangs around the LOV watching all the backstory insanity and thinks “goddamn i’m so normal, i’m the normalest guy here” and toga points out he got the biggest nerd crush on japan’s most wanted dead or alive shigaraki tomura specifically when he witnessed the man leveling a city

Dabi's First Interaction With Spinner Really Was To Call Him A Slur

Dabi's first interaction with Spinner really was to call him a slur

It's probably to be expected for the product of a multigenerational eugenics project though...

‘She wasn’t a good mother’ great are we evaluating this character trait as one of her many facets or are we just damning her for not being the most maternal womanliest woman who ever womaned
