I've been away a bit and miss reading all your wonderful works and chatting about all the inspiring ideas and delicious thots. Ugh...
I've just been all in my head, which is possibly the worst, after recently finding out, after multiple blood tests and MRI's, that I have a mass in my brain. So I kind of retreated but, I felt I should say something after being kinda MIA. I'm trying to get back to a regular routine and the things that make me happy such as some of the friends I've had the pleasure of making here and reading & writing. I popped in here and there to read a fic or two but then found my mind wander. I'm feeling slightly better, lost, I guess would be the most accurate word to use currently 😅 emotionless 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk
Sending love and hugs to all of you! And because I know it's important to remind those close to us who make a difference in our lives, how special they are, and what they mean to us; I'm tagging some of you... and a few of you know I have a shit support system in my personal life so extra love to my mutuals 💗💗💗
@buckyalpine @imaginedreamwrite @navybrat817 @sableseb @jesevans @tuiccim
I hope to have something new for my lovely followers soon 😘

Lesson 1;3: Getting To Know Each Other
Basics here!
Part 1! Part 2!
Also please let me know if you would like to be tagged when more parts come out✨🕺
The group of developers sat in their office, working on creating designs, writing scripts and recording the voices needed to bring their project to life. It was just supposed to be a simple dating game with a little twist in the story.
"We've never done anything like this before... Such a risky project... What if it gains sentience? What if this little plan of yours backfires on us?"
"Then we'll just delete the program, simple as that, no one will ever know what happened... Now then, let's add some "special touches" that'll really make this project stand out"
---------------------------------------
With Crowley having given the students their official schedules and privately dealing with the gas leak situation, its time for Roan to start their first class in Night Raven Collage! Roan is mildly annoyed at having to repeat their school days, but its better than being homeless.
Roan sat in his chair, listening to the professor explain his lecture while looking around at the other students. Some were familiar as ones that were whispering and talking about him and the fellow magicless students. He mainly recognized Dell, who sat not too far away, attentively listening to the professor's rambling.
"Now then, for your first assignment you'll all be working in pairs, which I've already decided for you..." The professor says before listing off pairs of students.
A certain blue haired student seemed very anxious as the professor listed off pairs of students.
"Oh no... Why did we have to work in pairs..." She whispered to herself.
"Don't worry! I believe you can make it through!" Dell seemed to try to provide a sense of comfort to her.
"... Roan and Momo and for the last pair, Dallas and Dell... I better not see any of you start fighting or petty bickering, understood?" The professor inquired.
Dell seemed excited, "Absolutely!" They cheered, a gleam of joy on their face.
The blond kid that appeared to be Dell's partner on the other hand, seemed to be annoyed, murmuring something to himself before quickly putting on a smile "Understood, professor!"
The blue haired girl still seemed anxious, nervously shrinking in her seat. "... M-Mhm..."
"Good... I dont want to hear any quarreling or fighting between any of you..." The professor explained.
The students start meeting up in their respective pairs, with the blue haired student shyly approaching Roan.
"U-Um... I-I'm... I'm Momo... Momo Kira..." He looks down and nervously fidgets with their fingers. "S-So... Im g-guessing you must be R-Roan... Right?..."
"Yeah, that's me..." Roan confirmed "So since we're working together, let's get started."
"R-Right..." Momo nervously sat closer to Roan, anxiously holding on to the edges of her sleeves.
Dallas and Dell however...
"Great, of all the stupid kids in this room, I get stuck with you." Dallas hissed out the last word.
"Worry not! My system is quite advanced and isnt as prone to glitching or crashes! So I can-" Dell gets cut off by Dallas.
"Not that you idiot, I mean that you aren't even a real student! I'd rather be stuck with that pathetic mess over there that's practically crying at the magicless kid!... Actually, I take that back, I'd rather be in a different school..." Dallas mumbled something to himself that's too quiet for anyone to hear.
Dell's avatar once again seems a bit upset at the mention of it before quickly putting a smile back on. "Cheer up, Showstage! I can prove you that I'm just as effective as a... "Real student"..."
Dallas rolled his eyes. "Tch, sure you can..."
Nonetheless, the various pairs of students seem to be working just well with each other or at least for the most part. Once the bell rang and it was time for lunch, Dallas quickly rushed out, not wanting to have to deal with Dell for a second longer.
To him, Dell was probably the one of the most annoying students he's met so far...
"UGH! I just can't stand that stupid program! Can't it shut up for more than 5 minutes?! And why does it always seem so stupidly excited about everything?!" Dallas muttered frustratedly to himself as he leaned against the wall.
He groans and mumbles to himself before moving some stray out of his face, taking a breath as he's about to leave.
"Hold on! Don't leave yet!" A voice called out.
Dallas quickly spun around in surprise and alarm, trying to see who it is.
"Wh-Who's there?! What the hell do you want?!"
"Calm down, calm down... So you want this program to shut up already, right? I have just what you need" A hand extends out from the darkness, a single USB being handed out to Dallas.
"This old thing?... The hell am I supposed to do with this? It looks so... Old" Dallas complained.
The figure chuckled, their eyes slightly narrowing in an uplifting smile.
"Don't judge a book by its cover, they say... This little thing will make this "pest" stay quiet alright... So, will you take it? Or would you rather have to deal with their constant rambling?" The figure asked.
Dallas seemed to think for a bit.
"... Alright then, I'll take your offer" Dallas greedily took the USB from them "If it'll get that stupid "Dell" to shut up for once... Thank you!~" Dallas cheered the last part with a smile. "I'll be sure to give it back-"
The figure chuckles once more.
"That... Wont be necessary... Its yours now..."
"O-Oh... Well thank you for the gift then!" Dallas laughed a bit as he left "Finally, I wont have to hear that thing talk for a straight hour again..."

The only reason I want to see the 10 yr gap for Touya other the just seeing my boy more, but him evolving into his aesthetic. He definitely got more comfortable with the way he dressed after he joined the LOV, heck his trench coat even got upgraded and pants. Like, you can’t tell me those nose and ear piercings are necessary like his staples? Did he do it himself, did he go to some parlor who are now looking at the broadcast years later and are like “Aye, that’s the guy I pierced! Oh…”
Don’t get me wrong, I also understand he was basically homeless (unless HK shows otherwise but to my knowledge Twice was the only one with an actual apartment.) And there were people who made fun of his attire/shoes during his debut even tho the man couldn’t really pick and choose what to wear during that time? Anyway, I do want to see how Touya transitioned from wearing Endeavour merch to wearing more dark and “gritty” clothes (forgive me, I can’t find the right word to use right now lol 😂) So this got long winded, but to put a final note I am interested to see when the staples came to play, if he was the one who figured out the idea to use them or if someone assisted him!
Yesss I definitely want to see more of Touya too, especially young/baby Touya 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 he was so round and sassy. We need more of him.
To be fair I think Touya transitioned out of wearing Endeavor merch sometime between Natsuo and Shouto being born because the last time we saw him wear an Endeavor related anything was in 301. After that he mostly wears plain, solid colored clothing. I always thought he was like Shouto in that regard, because Shouto wears a lot of plain clothing too. Even his hero uniform isn't that extreme when you compare it to his classmates or pros.
BUT you're definitely right, Dabi's choice of apparel is interesting, as are his piercings. I imagine the piercings may have something to do with body autonomy. Jewelry is body art and many people chose the style and location for aesthetic purposes. Touya has a lot of burn scarring so wearing jewelry might be a way to feel good about how he looks. I think Touya curated his Dabi look, too - like, when we first see him he's, again, wearing really plain clothing (which could be explained by lack of financial resources of course), but once he has funding he STILL only wears black and white and goes out of his way to make sure his clothing has sitches on it like his skin does. I feel like Dabi goes out of his way to look the part of a big bad villain in this regard, all edgy and emo and shit. Lol.
You bring up a good point about the staples! I have medical knowledge because I want to work in a burn unit when I graduate from grad school, so I will pre face this by saying that I might take the manga too seriously or look to much into Dabi and his burns and staples. BUT, long term staple use isn't a thing, lol. I think Hori draws Dabi with staples to show that Dabi is barely holding it together. He's emotionally unstable as a result of the neglect and rejection he endured, and the staples are a physical representation of that. Because of that panel at the end of 300 I also feel like Dabi uses some of his staples to track how much his burns have spread instead of using them for health purposes. He literally just moved the staple in his hand to a new spot, and when he's laying on the couch he mentions that he can't feel a thing while looking at his hand. I think it's interesting because he pays a lot of attention to his hands and arms - probably because that's where his fire comes out of.
Anyway tldr; Touya probably curated his Dabi look so he can look like "a big bad villain rawr" and I love him. The jewelry choice may stem from the need for body autonomy after his burns. We need 4 yr old Touya back in the manga.

Chapter 17
Tumblr media
WC: 1131
Rated: E
Chapter Tags: angst, language, discussions of student/professor relationships, age difference
A/N: so I'm actually going out of town for a week and I'm not sure I'll be able to write much if at all so I figured I'll be nice and not leave yall hanging too much
🧠
A sea of petrified students part as you come raging down the academic building’s hallway. You waste no time in throwing open the heavy wooden door to his office. It hasn’t even had time to slam shut before you begin your tirade.
“What the fuck is your problem?” you seeth.
Laszlo sighs, annoyed at having his work interrupted for the second time in the last hour. The headache from his encounter with Sara made his temples throb uncomfortably. He once again removes his glasses, tossing them indelicately onto the desk, before running a hand through his neatly combed hair. “What, is it not allowed that I do my work in peace?” He does nothing to hide his exasperation as he lifts his head to face you. The dark bags under your eyes remind him of his own.
“I don’t know who the hell you think you are, some high and mighty hot-shot professor, but I do not need your pity money,” you spit at him. “It’s disgusting and patronizing and quite frankly fucked up. It’s bad enough that you fucking fire me over text for no goddamn reason, but then you go rub it in my face just how much I needed this job and the money. I’m not some pathetic charity case, Laszlo. I can figure out my own shit and I don’t need your help to do it!”
Midway through your rant he stood up from his desk. Now Laszlo is more confused than angry at your outburst. Charity case? “I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re on about.”
You scoff. “Oh, don’t play dumb, it’s beneath you. You were supposed to fix the system to say that you removed me from being your TA. But no, you went and kept me on payroll on purpose so that, what, I didn’t go starving on the streets without you? You think that I’m so incapable of taking care of myself that only you, the great Dr. Laszlo Kreizler could help, and just so you could feel better about yourself?” The sarcasm drips heavily in your tone.
With the raising of your voice so did your frustration. Laszlo could feel it pushing off you in waves, stoking the fire within his own emotions. He lets out a dark chuckle at the preposterousness of your accusation. “If you think for even a moment that I have done anything out of pity for you then you truly must be beyond yourself. I have not done anything outside of what is required for my position as your supervisor and professor at this university. If you have a problem with that, you may take it to the Dean," he sneers. "As for your accusation of treating you like a charity case - that was never my intention nor purpose. I became preoccupied and did not find the time to change your status in the system.” He looks you up and down from where he stands, his eyes cold. “You have much to learn if you are going to expect people to take you seriously as an academic.”
Jabbing a finger towards him, you yell “don’t you talk down to me like I’m a child! God, you are infuriating!” You throw up your hands and begin to pace the office. Taking a breath, you try to bring some logic into your fuming thoughts. “Okay fine, let’s say I do believe that you forgot to fix it. That still doesn’t explain why you fired me out of the blue. Was I not doing my job correctly?”
“You did what was asked of you.” He does his best to sound neutral in his response.
“That doesn’t- ugh- that doesn’t answer the damn question, Laszlo! For once, why can’t you act like a human being and not like some omnipotent god that just takes pleasure in pointing out everyone else's flaws?” The fire behind your eyes blazes hotter than the surface of the sun.
Circling the desk he comes to stop a few feet from you. His shoulders are rigid as he glares down at you. “Perhaps I will the day you yourself get a hold on your own actions. You are intelligent beyond your own comprehension, yet you present yourself as a naïve child might. You speak as though your ideals are the only ones that could possibly be entertained. You are loud and confrontational and irritating-”
You cut him off; “I could say the same thing about you!” You pause a short beat. At this point you decide to rip the proverbial band aid off - “Is it because we almost kissed? Did I really fuck it up that bad or are you just unable to grow up and be a big boy with your feelings? Because you’ve been giving me all these signs and if they aren’t really there then fuck, Laszlo, you need to figure out how to actually talk to someone without making them think you have feelings. Or is it because you’re a professor and I’m your aide? Am I some stupid little girl that caught feelings for her teacher? Does the idea offend you that much that you had to get rid of me-”
“I CAN’T!” he yells mere inches from you. His shout stops you in your tracks, your eyes darting between his own pitch black pupils. Laszlo's face is flushed, his temples throb.
He sees red as he tries to defend himself from your onslaught. “I cannot be around you!” He growls, pacing away from you towards the back wall.
You don’t let him get away so easily, following him with a single measured step. “Laszlo… why not?” You are enraged and heartbroken, but you need answers no matter how much they might rip your soul to shreds.
He runs his fingers through his already mussed hair, pulling at the strands. “Because I feel my control slipping when you are around. Everyday you sit here and all I want is to be near you, to feel you against me, to know every thought that crosses that beautiful mind. I become more and more alienated from my own when I am with you. I’m not sure I have much sanity left. There are certain things a man cannot control...” You hear his swallow. “I’m afraid of what I might do if you stay…”
When you do not respond he glances over his shoulder. You stand where he had left you, your jaw clenched, eyebrows scrunched together. He continues to study you from across the room. Neither of you say anything.
Finally, you open your mouth to whisper out “I’m afraid of what might happen if I don’t.”
The words are barely past your mouth when he launches himself towards you, his left hand tilting your jaw forward to crush his lips against yours.

John looked around as he entered the bar. It wasn’t that busy, but he still had a hard time trying to find the guy he was meeting up with. John texted him ten minutes upon arriving that he was dressed in purple shirt and a black jacket, so that he would know where to find him.
John went up to the counter and ordered a beer, sitting at a stool on the end and watched the screen above him.
Ten minutes pass and he starts to get anxious; he was so excited to finally meet the person he was talking to for the past four months. They’ve grown close, and John likes that he can be so open about anything when they talk. There was something comforting about telling someone who doesn’t know about your past. It was a fresh slate.
“John?” He turned to find a woman approaching him. She had a soft smile and hopeful, kind eyes. Despite her beauty, he didn’t recognize her.
“Yeah?” John raised a brow and watched as her smile grew.
“Hi, I’m Y/N, it’s nice to finally meet you!” She pulled up a chair next to him and waved down the bartender to order a drink.
Frozen in his seat, John looked around the bar, just checking to see if there was a guy looking for him. Because this...this wasn’t right.
He’s been talking to a girl; he was so focused on how casual the guy- girl was that he didn’t even think twice about their gender.
Not that it really mattered, it just...he was so care free about who he was talking to. If he had known he was talking to a girl, then he would’ve probably been his usual cocksure self, talking more sufficiently or maybe even flirting.
“Sorry I was late,” Y/N pulled off her jacket and set it over the back fo her chair. “There was lots of traffic and I don’t really know this place well enough to walk alone.”
“No, no worries,” John stumbled with his words and scratched his the back of his head. “Uh...how was your trip up here?”
“Ugh, long,” She chuckled and sipped on her beer as the waiter set it in front of her. “The plane ride was exhausting. And I forgot how annoying the whole airport system is. I showed up an hour early just for my flight to be delayed for three hours.”
“Damn, that sucks,” John winced and she shruggedhopelessly. “So, what are you in town for?”
“For work, there’s a position that’s opening in one of the branches and my manager thought it would be the perfect fit for me.” Her smile was bright, John noticed that right away. “So, you know if all goes well, maybe...you might see me around more often?”
“Well, that wouldn’t be a bad thing, now would it?” John laughed and clinked his bottle against hers.
They fell into easy conversation after that, talking about their jobs, their dreams. Y/N didn’t bring up John’s family, which he had recently told her that things weren’t good at the moment. John made sure to remind Y/N that it was awful that she didn’t appreciate sushi. They laughed as they told stories about college.
John realized that he liked taking to Y/N, he felt she understood him in a way. Now that he knows that she’s a she, it doesn’t really change anything. It’s still the same Y/N he talked to on the phone. And he was himself when he talked to her.
When they were walking out hours later, John sighed and realized he didn’t want the night to end.
“Hey, I know you’re quite busy when you’re in town, but...I don’t know, if you’re free, maybe we could go see a movie or something?” He glanced at the sidewalk, avoiding her gaze.
Y/N smirked at his shy attitude, but nodded nonetheless. “I’d like that. As long as it’s the new Marvel movie.”
John scoffed, finally looking up, “Well, then you’d have to come over and watch a decent superhero movie. Like...any DC movie.”
Y/N laughed and nodded, “I’m down for that.”
She’d rearrange her schedule ten different times if it meant that she’d spend more time with John.
Let me know if you want to be tagged!!!
