I feel bad for Barbatos for being a deus ex machina.

Obey Me Headcanons. MC jokingly says: «Spank me, please».
GN!Reader. All brothers.
TW: suggestive? a little smut with Belphegor. 😳
A/N: at first I wanted MC to slap one of the brothers on the ass, but then I changed my mind.
Hint: MC and the character are not in a relationship. So when they asks to be spanked, they is just joking, but in fact it is frankly clear that they would really like it.
all subsequent actions take place with MC consent.
Lucifer:
— You're talking to Lucifer in his room when he asks how you're doing at RAD.
— «I know that you have already settled into the Devildom enough, but if you need help with your studies or you would like something specific, you just need to ask».
— The moment seems to you ideal for a light joke, because Lucifer is obviously not tense and this is just a friendly conversation.
— «Something I want? Then... How about you spank me, please?»
— You can see how Lucifer's eyebrows are raised questioningly, trying to evaluate what you just said.
— In fact, you blurted out the first thing that came to your mind and now, understanding the meaning of these words, you blush deeply and immediately add: «Of course this is a joke!»
— When Lucifer sees you blush, on his face a proud grin appears.
— «Joke? Really? Didn't I just say that you just have to ask if you need anything?», – he leans over your ear and quietly whispers: «What an interesting request. But if this is what you want, then I will do everything to make our exchange student comfortable».
Mammon:
— You were resting in your room when a message from Mammon flashed on your D.D.D. screen.
— «Not that I care at all, but I know that your birthday is coming soon, so (you should thank the Great Mammon) I'll condescend to present you something».
— Of course, a minute later he sent a message saying that it should not be too expensive and preferably with his own hands.
— Without hesitation, you tapped your fingers on the keyboard and sent a message that if the "Great Mammon" wants to do something for you with his own hands, then he may well spank you.
— «WHAT?! ARE YOU DELUSIONAL?».
— You could almost imagine Mammon's excited face, considering the speed with which a huge pile of messages were coming to you.
— You didn't even bother to clarify that it was just a joke, hoping that later he would understand it himself. And after a couple of hours, it completely slipped your mind.
— But then, a few days later, your birthday came.
— After receiving the gifts and finishing with the party that the guys threw in honor of you, you returned to your room.
— A few minutes later, Mammon (in the most brazen way) also barged into your room.
— «No. I'm not letting you sell MY gifts».
— «Even the one I gave you?!», – you looked accusingly at, – «Okay-okay! That's not what I was going to talk about at all! It's about the second gift. The one you asked for».
— The tips of Mammon's ears turned bright red and he cleared his throat.
— «That what you wrote about in the chat. If you still want it, then... Don't think, not that I was going to do it, but still now I, Mammon, am doing you a favor, so... I think it would be more convenient if you took a different pose and since I am infinitely generous to you, I will do it...».
Leviathan:
— You both played some old co-op game on the console, agreeing that the loser fulfills one wish of the winner.
— Maybe your fingers were trained well enough, or maybe you were just lucky, but this time the victory was yours!
— «NOOOOOOO. It's impossible for this normie to win. This is a scam!!»
— You shrugged your shoulders in response to Levi's whining and (stealthily) stuck out your tongue at him.
— «I won, which means you fulfill one of my wishes!~», – you reminded him of your contract and he instantly wilted.
— «It's not fair... Surely it will be something stupid...».
— «Okay, Levi. What do you think about spanking me?»
— You said it quickly and jokingly, just to see the reaction of the Avatar of Envy (lol, of course, you knew that he would squeal and be embarrassed, but you really wanted to tease him), but, lmao, it looks like you really broke this boy.
— Waving his arms and muttering something, he backed away, tripped over the wires, fell, appeared for a moment in the form of a demon and hid in the corner of the room.
— You don't know it (maybe you can guess), but right now he remembered all the possible hentai that started exactly the same.
— «Henry, you... You just can't say things like that! A similar situation occurred at the beginning of the seventh chapter of the first volume of „The Lamb-Girl: My indecisive lover”, but we live in the REAL world and if you ask someone for such things, then you should be prepared for the fact that it will end badly. A nasty otaku like me just shouldn't touch you like that, especially when our relationship hasn't reached that level yet, you just–».
— Most likely you stopped listening to him. Leviathan was in his demonic form, waving his tail and blushing terribly. On top of everything else, the guy was bleeding from his nose, but he did not stop his long tirade.
— (If you offer him a napkin, he'll faint, lol).
— To stop disturbing the wild imagination of the virgin-demon, you just went to your room, hoping that later he would calm down.
— A few hours later, Levi will definitely self-destruct, but he will also scroll through your proposal in his head and imagine his palm on your body.
Satan:
A/N: it turned out fine and a little crumpled, but okay, sorry. :(
— Well, maybe you're crazy or you just want to die, baby.
— Even with Lucifer, this thing could have been safer, but you chose Satan.
— You both fight when at some point you say something like: «Damn, if I'm that bad, then just spank me».
— Lol, you said the first thing that came to your mind, but now you're both in a stupor and blushing.
— «Spank you? Is this some kind of provocation?», – he raises his eyebrows, but before you can answer, Satan pulls you towards him.
— «Wait, it's...».
— «I think it was a good idea. Maybe I should really punish you so that you behave yourself next time?».
— He's definitely just scaring you, but if you agree, then Satan will really spank your ass.
Asmodeus:
— Okay, if not both of you, then at least Asmo is constantly joking about such things. Not that this is anything new.
— You put on the dress that the demon bought you as a gift and spun around on the spot so that he could appreciate how it fits on you.
— «It's just gorgeous, honey! As soon as I saw him, I immediately realized that you would look wonderful in something like this. You're amazing!~ ♡», – he claps his hands and smiles contentedly.
— «But isn't it too short?»
— «No, no! Just right! You look so lovely that I want to kiss you. Or spank», – Asmodeus puts his hands on your waist and seductively grins.
— You briefly say something like «can I choose both options?», deciding to play along with him. But you didn't expect he to go beyond the usual teasing this time.
— He gives you a short kiss near the lips and you blush with surprise. When Asmo sees your reaction, he smiles and his cheeks also turn a delicate pink shade.
— Overcoming the awkwardness, you quietly ask: «Well, the kiss has already been. How about the second option?».
Beelzebub:
— God, he has incredibly cute reactions to any teasing.
— If you suddenly tell this kid to spank you, I swear he'll choke on what he's chewing right now.
— You'll just watch a blush spread across Beel face as he realizes your request, but then he looks down and sighs.
— «I don't understand why you want me to do something like that. I don't want to hurt you».
— He's really afraid he might hurt you because you're so small and he's so big and strong. 🥺
— If you explain to him that this is just a joke, he will smile and say that he is glad because he would not like to hit you.
— If you continue your joke and start explaining to Beelzebub that it might even be nice, then he will nod seriously and begin to finish his meal.
— After that, he'll shoulder you wherever you are and carry you to your room, because he doesn't mind if that's what you want. :>
— (When Beel start spank you, he will be a little scared that he may not calculate the strength, but then he will even get a taste and on your ass there will definitely be traces of his huge palms).
Belphegor:
— Just wanting to annoy Belphegor a little, you woke him up and decided that it would be nice to tease the Avatar of Laziness a little.
— Every now and then, absolutely jokingly, you put your hand on his thigh or whispered ambiguous phrases in his ear while he sighed irritably.
— His displeased expression seemed so funny and cute to you that you could hardly restrain yourself.
— «You're being disgusting, you know?».
— «Really? Well then take it and spank me».
— «Your jokes are so tiring. Don't think I'm going to fall for that», – he yawned significantly and you puffed out your cheeks.
— «Well, if you refuse, then I'll go», – of course you were bluffing. You of both were not in such a relationship and it would be strange to suggest something like that, but... you were so turned on by his quiet, irritated growl.
— Oh, it looks like you've awakened something bad in him.
— You get out of bed and wink at him, intending to leave, but Belphegor grabs your wrist and pulls you to him so that you fall on your stomach on his lap.
— You flinch when one of his hands gets under your t-shirt and lies on your lower back.
— «It was so audacious. If you woke me up, then why don't I listen to you, especially since it sounds fun», – you hear his soft teasing voice and a quiet malicious grin.
— With his other hand, Belphie lightly slaps you on the ass and briefly holds his palm on your buttock, squeezing it through the fabric of your clothes.
— You feel him tense up a little under you, and then the next ringing slap is heard, much stronger than the past.
— You let out a low moan and he runs his index finger along the inside of your thigh.
— «How depraved... If you wanted me, you should have said so earlier. And now take responsibility for your actions, because now I don't want to sleep at all...».
— There is another slap.
A/N: AHHAHA, idk what I wrote! Sorry about this crap. I did it for a very long time and sat with the dictionary, lololol. 😭

You don’t know how long i’ve been waiting for you to say that (i do—and it’s been about 20 months lmao)
Continuation of ia67? Please? 🥺
166.
do you know how far I had to scroll for this @captainjamba??? Rest of the series linked here for convenience
The Katolis Symphonic Orchestra has a Christmas concert every year. Usually it's all the classic stuff: arrangements of Silent Night, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas that are easily recognisable and never fail, and it's, y'know, fun and all but the classics are getting a bit too classic, even for Callum. Opeli is a bit like that as a conductor: straight laced and maybe a bit too serious, which is why this year's set list is such a shock when it's sent out to him that afternoon.
It's Wednesday, and Barius' cafe is packed given it's the awkward time of two PM. It's been, what, almost two years since that Valentine's Day he came here with Rayla after rehearsal, and busy rehearsal schedules aside, it's been a pretty good two years. Rayla disappears in the early mornings for rehearsals at the studio, and Callum isn't home until nine on some nights because so many of his own rehearsals are after work (the KSO is great, but it doesn't quite manage all the bills), but they've made it work, and Callum would rather work around the weird hours than not be with her at all.
This life suits them. He hopes it will for a while yet.
The bell at the cafe door rings, and Callum looks up and grins when he spots Rayla in the doorway brushing snow off her coat. He stands as she edges her way through the crowd towards him. "Hey," he greets brightly, leaning over the table for a kiss. "How was your day?"
Rayla grimaces. "Eh."
"That bad?"
She pauses. The way her brow furrows over her eyes says it all.
Callum frowns. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I—" Rayla presses her lips together and takes a breath. "If I had to move, would you move with me?"
There's a pause. A long pause. Callum studies her over the menu on the fake-marble tabletop. "Would you want me to move with you?"
"I—" Rayla sighs and fiddles with a napkin. "I couldn't ask you to," she says quietly. "Things are going so well with the KSO, and you're sharing first chair with Claudia now, and things are good here, so I wouldn't—couldn't ask you to leave all of that behind for me, but..." She blinks like she wants to cry. "The director of Spire Ballet called me today. They've got an opening for a principal, and they want—they want me to come and audition."
"What?" Callum's lips twitch upwards. "Rayla that's amazing!"
"But I'd have to leave—"
"And I'd go with you," says Callum firmly. "No question about it. No doubt in my mind. I'd go with you if you wanted it."
"But—the KSO," says Rayla. "All your friends and family, your brother, how could I ask you to—"
"You aren't asking me," says Callum. "They don't need me. They've got Claudia. And you—" He reaches for her hands across the table and presses her knuckles against his lips. "I'd be a shit violinist without my muse."
That draws a laugh out of her, and Callum grins, pleased he managed it. "Callum..."
"I'd go with you," he says again. "Always. Wherever you went—as long as you want me along."
Another pause. Rayla blinks and lets herself smile a little more genuinely. "Really?"
"Really."
Rayla swallows and grips his hand tighter. "It's just an audition for now. I just..."
"You don't have to explain," he says. "I can see how much you want this. You deserve it. And if we have to move, we will. Okay?"
"Okay." Rayla grins at him at last, the first hints of excitement lighting her eyes. Callum's heart warms at the sight of it, which only strengthens his resolve. "Sorry," she adds. "I didn't mean to ambush you like that. It's... a bit of a shake-up, y'know?"
"Oh I know," chuckles Callum. "KSO's getting one too. Look at our setlist." He slides his phone over to her to let her see, and Rayla barks out a laugh.
"Sleigh Ride?" She squawks. "The ridiculous one with the horsey-trumpet at the end? That Sleigh Ride? That's not Opeli's style, what's gotten into her?"
"I dunno," says Callum with a laugh. "Maybe it's just a good time for change."
Rayla grins and slides his phone back. "Maybe so."

(littles are known) some of the pics the paps have of little austin is when he's trying to get something in his mouth like last time he was trying to suck on a pen and we're like "ope, no no. here baby try this" and we give him a plushie or our hand, by the end of the day our hand is just covered in drool bc of qustin.
kinda see him as a little rascal like he's so SO gentle but playtime is like a must with him bc he refuses to have a nursery so all of his toys are just thrown around all over the house. he sleeps in the big bed with us and if he wakes up first he crawls all over us like suddenly we feel his hand on our face our we feel his diapered bum in our hand by austin just crawls over us when he wakes up first.
also austin isn't scared kr embarrassed that he uses diapers like we even tried potty training but he just refused and he just likes to be in his diaper while sucking on his thumb with some toys. in public he's definitely messy, way too messy. he also glares a lot tho
OMG HI, MISSED YOU KIWI ♡
- 🍙
HI MISSED YOU NONNIE! okay let's dive into these concepts. The paps have caught him many times with his thumb buddy and the paps know we don't want his thumb in his mouth because they've heard and seen us redirect him while they're taking pictures so sometimes if he's alone or we don't notice it yet, they'll yell out to him, "Aus, no thumb buddie!" and he'll just give them a grumpy face and be like "You're not my momma!" And he feels sad because if we're with him and we haven't noticed, then we're like "he's right, no thumb baby" and aus looks to the pap like "thanks you got me caught!"
We are his favorite jungle gym to be honest but he is definitely a gentle giant! He loves to either crawl on us or lay across our sleeping body and wait till we notice the pressure of his body on ours and then he's so smiley like "good morning mama!" He also LOVES to just be at home in just his diaper while he plays! And he loves to dance to his movies and stuff like the lion king.
He is the glare king and he definitely finds it more convenient to wear diapers (much like E does too I feel like)

Villain Hunt Arc Meta: All For One’s Horrific Guide to Methodically Breaking Down Your Local OFA Holder
Ft. Turning the ‘Overpoweredness’ of OFA into a Setback, and AFO’s Successful Manipulations Of Midoriya Izuku
In which I also give AFO too much credit for all the pain he’s probably caused, and theorize that his plans to break Izuku actually started getting enacted even before he’d escaped Tartarus.
(A.k.a. me loving the angst because this is really good angst writing, but also hating it because the manga doesn’t come with a Angst with A Happy Ending tag unless you count Izuku’s ‘this is the story of how I became the greatest hero’ which isn’t really a guarantee of happiness )
So. What an arc! In the span of ten chapters (starting from the end of the War arc) Hori delivered a full-on Villain-looking, Vigilante Midoriya Izuku. Congratulations, Horikoshi, for finally introducing Akatani Mikumo!
The fast pacing and lack of breather panels are so fitting for this arc truly. AFO never gave them a moment’s rest. Yes, from henceforth as he’d promised... It’s always going to be his turn.
Tumblr media
Izuku is making amazing progress with unlocking the full power of One For All. In his words, his abilities might as well already be on par with what a healthier All Might could do, and with no recoil to boot. Plus, there’s only one last quirk to unlock. For villain fights, I don’t think we need to worry about him losing, or him breaking anymore bones at this time.
Which, some might argue, makes Izuku too ‘OP.’
To start with, I want to talk first about the ‘overpoweredness’ of the One For All quirk. It’s a wonderful quirk truly, having inspired and amazed so many because of its sheer power. Used well, it could grant instant victories and restore the people’s wavering faith to the heroes. Because with a quirk like that on your side, everything’s going to be alright, right? There’s always gonna be that bit of hope that something is still strong enough to stand against the looming evil...right?
Yeah. That’s what the people who’d lived under All Might’s Era of Peace thought so too. History repeats.
OFA’s ‘OP-ness’ is both a great blessing and a great burden.
Here are some points on how the narrative has made OFA's 'overpoweredness' a setback:
1. All For One—that bastard—exploits the urge that comes with OFA. Just as ‘AFO the quirk’s’ goal is to steal OFA, OFA’s job is to defeat AFO, and Izuku is sacrificing himself to its cause.
Here’s another thing I want to point out: The conclusion that the heroes drew about AFO planning to capture Midoriya Izuku alive? In rereading, I’m starting to believe it’s nothing but a mere assumption of his plans. Aside from the deal made with Lady Nagant—of which I think AFO didn’t take seriously anyway and set her up for failure— (and while we as readers are already aware of his true intentions to wear Izuku down) it’s weird that nowhere had AFO directly mentioned to Izuku that he’s going to kidnap him and take his quirk from him.
2. OFA made Izuku so brilliant (e.g. Pros and former Pros alike going “This kid...”) that they really can't help but place all their hopes on him. Sighs. In an ideal world, this would be a dream come true of Izuku getting his due credit for all his heroic achievements Pro heroes have started to do to Izuku what they’ve done all their lives to All Might--which is to put him on the pedestal, while they fall back to cover him like guards/safety net. Hence, falling back to the One Pillar Model mindset.
3. OFA makes Izuku untouchable, not only to the villains, but also to his allies. Prime material to reinforce isolation. And if Izuku doesn't want to be caught, he won't make it easy for either side.
4. OFA IS SUS AF, OKAY? What are the Holders doing?! While gaining access to them makes it easier and convenient to have personal trainers in handling OFA, the vestiges prove to add a lot to Izuku’s mental load. If they’d allowed Izuku to come to the point of being caked with blood and filth, they’re not doing very well at guiding him. Realize that most of their arc interactions with Izuku is Quirk Talk. They, of all people, should know how AFO’s machinations work! Hey First, for the love of god, warn Izuku! He’s showing so many signs of being manipulated that you should be picking up on. please /sobs ;;
Tbf, like, I’m pretty sure that the Holders haven’t been as mentally okay either, which would feed into Izuku’s current mindset.
Now that the setbacks have been listed, let’s dive in to AFO’s plans to toy with Midoriya Izuku.
PHASE 1: Pre-Tartarus Breakout
Speaking of OFA being sus, there’s something that has been niggling at the back of my mind.
Tumblr media
All For One basically tells Izuku: “You were my main interest that entire time I was in prison”. So, to pass the time in Tartarus (since he can’t use any(?) of his quirks), AFO has been doing nothing but apparently daydreaming and designing a personal hell for the Ninth Holder during that entire period. HOWEVER, it also made me wonder…
…Even before he’d broken out, had AFO made any moves at all in enacting his plans to break Izuku?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah?
And here’s the kicker: he says that before Blackwhip bursted out.
AFO is a master manipulator. Assuming that Izuku doesn’t have any latent AFO quirk (for whatever reason *coughs* maybe dfo if you're a believer) or that Quirk Singularity has anything to do with it, what is the trigger to Izuku suddenly having access to Blackwhip?
I’d argue that it is All For One himself.
Why? What’s his goal? If you notice during the Joint Training arc, Izuku is feeling pretty confident about his progress. He’s rather happy and feeling blessed, and he is making leaps and bounds with base power OFA.
AFO can’t have that. He can’t allow the Ninth Holder to become too emotionally stable, or else he’d have a stronger will. So by somehow activating Blackwhip, AFO makes Izuku feel like he hasn’t made any progress with his quirk at all. During the evaluations, Izuku mentions that he still needs a lot to work on, and while not all of it is visible, with the way he behaves, it’s pretty evident that his self-confidence has taken a rather large hit.
But, wait! If AFO had tampered with OFA during the JT arc, paving the way to unlocking the rest (like he’d also done during the War arc when he tried to ‘steal’ it then), then wouldn’t AFO be sabotaging himself since he’d be making Izuku a more formidable opponent?
Sure. Except that the quirks inside OFA are mostly useless when it comes to the mental part of the fighting. The only thing they’re useful for is for the current Holder to be able to play keep-away in the physical realm. And AFO could easily just find counters for those through his work on Tomura.
You know how else the situation becomes advantageous for AFO? With every quirk unlocked, Izuku’s goalposts keep on getting away from him, and Izuku will always feel like he isn’t ready or prepared enough. Izuku will push and push himself to master OFA to its fullest, to become more powerful, at the cost of his mental/emotional stability and physical wellbeing as he wears himself down.
And every time Izuku grew more powerful, and became more ‘OP,’ he is burdened with all the aforementioned setbacks that came with it. He could be the most powerful person in the world, but it’s all for naught if he doesn’t take care of himself. This plan is both a high risk and high reward on AFO’s part, and as of the moment, with a bloody Izuku staggering all over, AFO is visibly reaping these high rewards.
PHASE 2: Post-Tartarus Breakout
He’s going to toy with Izuku until Izuku fucking breaks. What follows is his series of actions that instills the desired responses from Midoriya Izuku. Let’s see how the master manipulator plays this game of chess, shall we?
Tumblr media
Izuku’s plan: Reach out to villains and try to save them.
AFO’s counter: Kill off those who turn their back against villainy and/or acknowledge Izuku as a true hero.
Izuku’s resulting response: Stop reaching out to villains. Gain an instant victory and move on.
After all, what do you get when you block a hero from showing sympathy? You get an unfeeling living weapon.
---
Izuku’s plan: Work with the top pro heroes to bring down AFO.
AFO’s counter: Make plans that will serve to highlight how the top pros are just slowing Izuku down. (e.g. Making moves while it’s raining, so as to divide them, but also to bring out No. 1 Hero Endeavor’s "slowness" in the rain. Nope, I don’t think that’s a throwaway line at all.)
Izuku’s resulting response: Grows more reckless, often leading the charge.
---
Izuku’s plan: Track AFO down.
AFO’s counter: Lead them to dead-ends. Or when they do supposedly reach something, endanger them.
Izuku’s resulting response: His tunnel vision worsens, as he grows more desperate.
---
Izuku’s plan: All Might following him around is okay since it would help All Might from worrying so much, and Izuku could simultaneously keep an eye on and protect All Might.
AFO’s counters: There are a lot to really fuck with this bond, damn you AFO.
Taint that passing the torch memory of ‘You’re Next.’
Declare that All Might no longer interests him. Liar. He outright stated before that he’s one for keeping a grudge
Send another assassin to Izuku [Underlying Message: You yourself are a walking danger zone to those whom you dearly care for.]
Izuku’s resulting response:
Interpret that memory of ‘You’re Next’ as taking up the position of being AFO’s shiny new plaything, and therefore supposedly sparing All Might from the torment (Unfortunately, making Izuku push AM away is just part of the torment ;A;)
Think that AM is no longer in the direct line of fire as long as AFO focuses on Izuku
Finally, push his last line of morale support away, and completely isolate himself.
Btw, I wonder how All Might feels about Izuku using Nana's quirk to get away from him.
---
The suffering doesn’t end.
Izuku’s plan: Save people.
AFO’s counters: (possibly offscreen) Send more villains and assassins to torment Izuku some more with the knowledge that he can’t save them. Sending villains out also puts innocents in danger.
Izuku’s resulting response: He won’t stop for anything. He won’t sleep, won’t eat, won’t slow down. He will always do his best to save as long as someone is in danger.
His body will keep on moving and moving and MOVING on its own.
--- All For One is very effective as a supervillain. He has managed to make the heroes think that his only goal is to capture Izuku alive for his quirk. He has Izuku right where he wants him: dancing to his tune at the palm of his hand, utterly toyed with, left with no escape in sight.
Psychologically vaulted.
.
.
.
PHASE 3
And so, if Izuku is being manipulated to drive himself further and further into self-destruction, what then is there left for All For One to do?
So much more. Because, my god, I think AFO has mastered the art of traumatizing the OFA Holders.
All For One once told All Might, “I will destroy all that you’ve protected.” And boy, is he delivering. He's definitely not done with AM btw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First, he destroys All Might's image. And he is manipulating Izuku to drive himself to that point. To looking into his absolute worst.
And when that point arrives, AFO will hammer the final nail home.
Something like...
BEHOLD
Tumblr media
JAPAN’S SYMBOL OF PEACE.
And oh, how it'll hurt. To see All Might's pride and joy be flaunted about as looking nothing like a hero to the masses, for him to be so utterly humiliated.
"See what I did to All Might's successor."
AFO will be banking upon the possibility that the angry masses will not want to be saved by whom they're tricked into viewing as someone that's the cause of all the pain. Izuku might have the willpower to stay true to his resolve, but with him on the verge of total breakdown, what would happen when he is shunned by the very people he is trying to help?
I once wrote a post about how the current events seem to be a bastardization of Izuku's wildest fantasies: he's working with the top pros, he has the most powerful quirk, and he's working with All Might (whom technically acts as a sidekick to him rn).
AFO has warped all that into a never-ending nightmare. And Izuku...
Izuku is really in need of saving.
Last thoughts:
Let me just say that it shouldn't be a competition about who gets to get through to Izuku. Right now, he’s gonna need all the help he can get, and it can’t be delivered by only one or two people. Saving Izuku is going to be a team effort, a solid support system that sees Izuku as their classmate/friend/student/actual person that they care about. And there’s sufficient space for that.
More hands reaching out means more chances to catch him if he falls.

(Ya know, seeing that anon ask thing dealing with the game master's "guild leader" made me remember that I was wanting to make a Housamo OC that fit the guild leader role until the actual one was released. But I could never figure out how to make them since no info has been revealed about them. Hell, there might not even BE a guild leader for the GMs. I always invisioned them as someone like jevil from deltarune though for some reason. Just chaotic and insane, while also being locked up out of fear from the other GMs.
Anyways, it's good to see you mun! I hope you're doing alright! Honestly, I'm glad you've had this long rest. It's good to rest your bones every once in a while~. Unless you like cracking bones... I don't know where I was going with this lol. Either way, yeah, good to see ya again!)
((Good to see you all again too! o/ I do like cracking bones a little bit since I have like. Stiff joints and I'm always trying to pop them lol. . .but I rest all the time and that's still the case, so that's clearly not the problem lol I should really be more hydrated I suppose.
On the subject of a Game Masters guildmaster OC, I don't have a problem with it tbh--the problem there was more like. . .besides the lack of notice or discussion on the matter, it just had such a. . .idk. No offense to the person who sent the ask, but it felt forced? And kinda like they didn't know what they were talking about? Like I don't expect people to know every little detail of the game because I sure don't. But it felt like they may not have had been up to date with the story or aware of the lore in question so to speak??? Am I making sense without pointing out the issues I percieved?
Idk maybe I'm being unnecessarily critical of it because it aggrivated me a little bit because it felt like it was shoved at me like that without asking me if I was on board to begin with.
Rambling about lore and theories about a GM gm under the cut
Idkidk. I don't have a problem with the idea of such an OC ofc but I feel like you'd need to really think that kind of thing through, y'know? Like really be on top of the lore for it to work. Idk if they'd be chaotic--I can see them being like. Crazy and morally ambiguous? Because they've sent out Bertro, Curren, and the other kid(probably Alice but we don't know that for sure) to study like human advancement potential through means of War/Violence, Education, and uuh whatever the last one that "Isaac" is supposed to be studying through the Invaders, idr if we know off the top of my head. And that kinda suggests that they had part in their creation as Genius Record Collectors and all, and running the game kinda suggests they may have had something to do eith the experiments in Chiyoda that Arc was part of. . .someone chaotic probably wouldn't have records being kept of everything like they are. :|a Like, what's happening doesn't seem random enough to be run by a chaotic person to me. And a chaotic person would surely not lock away the exceptions for being too powerful/game-ruining, right? They'd let them run around and have op kaiju type battles or something lmao. But that's just my perspective. It'd be a hard OC to make/work with, I think, just because of how little we know like you said. At the same time we know so much that it's just as hard to like. Work something out with all the details we do have.
Tbh I noticed we don't have a Rep for Utopia yet and Curren and Bertro both have robots and they're like manufactured children so I kinda imagine they might be the rep for Utopia? At the same time, someone from the advanced future probably wouldn't want to study evolution/advancement from an angle of the past--how would that benefit the future which already has everything figured out, y'know? And we know that the Exception Solomon is the one that's making the Gates and all work(I think that was the end of Chapter 11. . .I may be remembering what I've read about 12. . .) which is why MC now has to unlock all the Exceptions to get to him--so surely he has something to do with all of this. And the Game came after the Gates did, so the Game is just being used for the convenience of the Reps, right???? And it's somrthing separate that's like. Conveniently in line with what they're trying to do which could also mean it's somrthing that's made/run by someone with a Pillar/who knows/knew what they were trying to accomplish and remembers what's already happened and all and i'm making myself dizzy trying to theorize like this lmao. . . .
But uh. Yeah. Idk. An OC like that would be difficult to make but like more power to people who do really go in and try and make that kind of thing, tbh lol
Anyway, it's good to see everyone, and hopefully i'll be back on top of things soon. I got distracted in the middle of coming to answer things again and ended up spending several hours reading Alice's character and date quests and i'm feeling scatterbrained again lol i keep inconveniencing myself. But i'm working my way back here. I have no sende of the passage of time so it's like. I have no clue how long i've been off but it's probably longer than it feels haha. . .but yeah. I'm doing okay. I'm surviving. I just have adhd up the ass lol. . . .

The Ace Ops and Ironwood
A series, by me!
I think RWBY has as a keen awareness of how much of a hot ass mess Ironwood's character is to understand. To compensate, I think the Ace Ops basically serve as a team of characters onto whom you can project individual aspects of his psyche in order to understand him better.
For example,
Elm, the 2nd most skilled and pillar of the Ace Ops, represents Ironwood's compassion.
She has been described as her voice actor as "big buff lady with a heart of gold." I'm gonna be honest here, Elm has always been my favorite. I find her character the most compelling of them all. As Ironwood's emotions, she has always been overzealously kind. At the earliest convenience, she's shaking Ruby like a ragdoll in excitement over the prospects of new teammates. She encourages their enthusiasm and wants the kids to be the best they can be. At one point, she literally carries Team RWBY on her shoulders, if I recall correctly.
Tumblr media
But she would never tell you this. This is Atlas we're talking about here. Whenever asked if she considers her teammates friends, she'll go "This isn't the playground kids." ?!? Um, ma'am, you are like the world's most supportive gym teacher what do you mean this isn't the playground? I- okay?? Whatever. So she's in denial, got it. I still love her.
And then...the fight happens. Look I love Elm but this girl is neck deep in cognitive dissonance. She likes to believe that she is Ironwood's perfect soldier, that she doesn't have feelings and all that matters is the job (perhaps something akin to her partner) but she is nawt that. She's constantly steeling herself against what are clearly very strong feelings towards the matter.
And she can't stand having it pointed out to her either. "They're just following orders." Why are you mad, Elm? You said that yourself all of 20 minutes ago. It's because at this point it's not as much about orders as the fact that, well, she trusted these kids. She threw her all into helping them realize the best possible versions of themselves. And they betrayed her. And her resulting anger clouds her judgement.
Ironwood is clearly operating on emotions at this point too. If he would've just stopped and thought for 3 seconds about any and all of his plans the obvious solution would be to compromise with Team RRAYNBBOW. I'm not about to go into the minutiae of all of his plans, other people with more time on their hands and a better understanding of military tactics have done that already. A big part of what's really keeping them from working together is that Ironwood is simply hurt.
Jacque Schnee (ugh, I know) says in Volume 4 that James has "Never trusted anybody but himself," and James response is "And for good reason." He didn't trust Lionheart, he never even trusted Ozpin, but he took a risk on these kids. They've been through hell and back. They're innocent. How could they possibly betray him after he's given them food, housing, state of the art technology, and their Huntsman Licenses? But lo and behold.
But he will never tell you that. He will just say he's doing what has to be done, and he can't let his silly feelings about...all of Mantle freezing to death or being exploded...get in the way of the bigger picture: Defeating Salem. He's not emotional at all. He'll shoot you if you say otherwise!! Because, y'know, you're a liability to him now if you won't fall in line, not because you're cutting to the core of his fractured psyche or anything...
But what happens when emotions no longer matter?
Ironwood's heart pulls him in every direction, and the more his emotions fail him, the more emotional he becomes.
Next character: Vine
(Actually, the next character is Clover: Redux. This is really the 2nd post in this series of mine. The reason it appears to be the only one is because I accidentally edited a REBLOG of Clover's post in my queue so I have to redo his now...I know. I know.)

Babysitter AU
Pyrrha, holding a 7 year old Weiss and Ruby in her arms: Look guys, can you at least try and get along today? For me?
Weiss, whining: But she's eating too many cookies!
Ruby, mouth full of cookies: No I'm not!
Weiss: Yes you are! You're getting crumbs everywhere!
Ruby, in fact, spitting out crumbs: Am not!
Weiss: Are too!
Ruby: Am not!
Weiss: Are too!
Ruby: IM NOT!
Weiss: ARE TOO!
Pyrrha, sighing: Look, why do you even care if Ruby eats too many cookies in the first place?
Weiss: Because the dunce might get a stomach ache if she eats too many!
Pyrrha:....so? Why do you care?
Weiss, awkwardly: Well because.....her tummy will hurt.
Pyrrha, smiling:.......
Weiss: W-what?
Pyrrha, cooing: Awww, are you worried about your friend Ruby?
Weiss, blushing: W-what?!
Pyrrha: You actually care about her, don't you?
Weiss, blushing more: N-no! I-its just that she is going to cry loudly of her tummy hur— H-HEY!
Ruby, hugging Weiss: AWWW! I CARE ABOUT YOU TOO, WEISSY!
Weiss, blushing: G-get off my, you dunce! Who d-do you think you are hugging me! Unhand me now!
Ruby, hugging tighter: But I wanna hug you!!!!!
Weiss: Ew! Gross. You're getting cookie crumbs everywhere! L-let go! P-pyrrha, help me!
Pyrrha: *giggles loudly*
Weiss, whining: PYRRRRRHA!
*a knock is heard at the door*
Pyrrha: Ope, I think that might be one of your sisters to pick you up. Be right back. *Stands up and leaves the room*
Weiss, trying to break free: Pyrrha! Come back here and help me! Pyrrha! PYRRHA!
Ruby, still hugging: Theres nothing wrong with hugging, Weissy!
Weiss: D-dont call me that!
Pyrrha, opening her door: Hello?
*Pyrrha opens the door to find a tall and older woman with white hair and piercing blue eyes, standing in an authority like stance*
Pyrrha, smiling: Oh, hello Winter.
Winter, bowing respectfully: Hello, Pyrrha. I hope your evening has been well.
Pyrrha, nodding: Oh it's been great. Thanks for asking.
Winter: Well that's fantastic. I assume my sister hasn't been giving you a hard time?
Pyrrha, chuckling: Oh heavens no. She's been an angel; maybe a little crabby though. But other than that, she's been fine.
Winter: Thats great to hear. Thanks for watching her by. You know, I really appreciate you being such a kind and sweet babysitter to my sister.
Pyrrha, modestly: Oh it's nothing to thank me for. I'm just doing what any other baby sitter would do.
Winter, chuckling: Thats honestly hard to believe. Weiss talks about you all the time. Talking about how sweet and amazing you are. She tells me how you are teaching her about spelling and other subjects. You are going beyond what a regular baby sitter would. And I really appreciate it. Thank you.
Pyrrha, smiling: No seriously, you don't need to thank me. Having Weiss around is always a pleasure. She's a bright and very sweet girl, even if her previous babysitter called her a brat all the time.
Winter: Well I'm still gonna. In fact, I think you deserve a little something too.
Pyrrha: What do you mean?
Winter, smiling: I have these reservations to this this beautiful restaurant, and I want to take you with me. It's for the golden clam.
Pyrrha, eyes widening: The Golden Clam? W-what? B-but that place is so expensive, Winter. I can't accept that.
Winter, smiling: But I want you too. You deserve it.
Pyrrha, slightly blushing: I-I don't k-know. T-this seems too much.
Winter: I promise that it's nothing, okay? I'm not even spending that much money. Now come on and let me award you for being such a great babysitter.
Pyrrha, hesitatingly:.....are you sure?
Winter: Yes, positive.
Pyrrha:......o-okay. I'll go.
Winter, smiling: Great. You won't regret it. I promise. The reservation is for this Friday night.
Pyrrha, nodding: Great. I can't wai— wait, this Friday night?
Winter: Yes, this Friday. Is there a problem?
Pyrrha, guiltily: Oh Winter, Im so sorry but I can't make it this Friday. I'm going to a concert with Yang.
Winter, gritting her teeth from the mentioned of the blond:......Yang you say? You're going to a concert with Yang?
Pyrrha: Yeah. She asked me this morning when she dropped Ruby off, apparently she had an extra ticket and gave it to me to not waste it.
Winter: Oh really? Well, isn’t that.....nice.....hmm.....so is it just going to be you two, or....
Pyrrha: Just us.
Winter: Wow, just you two? Man, that's....so she just so happened to had another ticket, huh? Isn’t that.....convenient.
Pyrrha: Yeah, I guess it is.
Winter, still gritting her teeth: Well that's just......wonderful.
Pyrrha:......Winter, are you alright?
Winter: Hmm? Me? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm all dandy. Don't worry.
Pyrrha: Oh okay. I really am sorry about this by the way. I feel really bad.
Winter: No no no, don't feel bad. I'm okay. I promise.
Pyrrha: If you say so. Anyway, allow me go get your sister for you. Be right back. *Enters her apartment*
Winter, growling under her breath: God damn it Xiao-Long! You little piece of—
???: Is that Winty I see?
Winter, under her breath: God damn it.
*Winter turns to see a tall buxom blonde swaying her way towards her with a smirk on*
Winter, annoyed: Hello Yang.
Yang, pouting: Awww, what's wrong, Winty? *Gasp* oh wait. I know that look anywhere. You just got rejected, didn't ya?
Winter, gritting her teeth: Shut up.
Yang: Man, that gotta suck now, doesn't it? So, what did you ask her out to?
Winter, sighing: If you just know....I had two reservations to....the Golden Clam.
Yang, laughing: Oh you gotta be shitting me! You must’ve wasted so much money!
Winter, gritting her teeth while trying to calm down:.......
Yang: You gotta be so pissed right now! So how does it feel, knowing that I have a date with Pyrrha? It's an awesome concert too. Does that bother you? Huh? Does it piss you off? Huh?
Winter, internally: Just ignore her. She's nothing to you. Don't let her get under your skin.
Yang: Hey, are you listening? Are you pissed? You look pissed? You look really pissed? Hey? Hey? Hey—
Winter, stomping: Okay, listen here you little harlot!
Yang: Oh ho ho ho~ I think you're mad.
Winter: I swear to God, Yang!
Yang: Why are you even after Pyrrha anyway? You're much older than her.
Winter: Im only 4 years older!
Yang, looking Winter up and down:......really?
Winter: Oh you lit—
Pyrrha, starting to walk out with Weiss: And here she is!
Winter, feigning excitement: —tle one right here. There you are, Weiss! *Ruffles Weiss's hair*
Pyrrha: Oh, hey Yang.
Yang, smiling: Heya, P money. Excited for the concert?
Pyrrha: I sure am. I'm sure it will be grand.
Yang: Me too. I was just telling Winter about it actually.
Pyrrha: Really?
Winter, smiling: Yep, she sure was. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what concert are you going to?
Pyrrha: Oh it's uhm....*starts snapping fingers* Shoot, what was they called again?
Yang: The Achieve-Men. They're great, and sold out as well. So no one will be able to get in now. Nobody. *smirks*
Winter: *Growls under her breath*
Yang: Oh, and got front rows seat as well.
Pyrrha, nodding: Thas right. Seat 6 and 7 I believe?
Yang, nodding: Corecto, p money. So these seats are totally AMAZING! It's a shame you can't show up, Winter. Since you know....it's sold out.
Winter, clenching her fist: Yeah... It's a real....shame.....anyway, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow, Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: O-oh. You're leaving? O-okay. Bye.
Winter, picking up Weiss: Goodbye. *Starts to leave*
Yang, smiling: Well anyway, I'm here for the Rubster.
Pyrrha: Hmm? Oh, right. I'll be right back.
Winter, walking away: Hmm.... Seats six and seven huh?
Weiss, being carried: What?
Winter, smiling: Nothing, snowflake. *Pulls out scroll and dials a number in it before calling someone*.......hey Klein? I need a favor? Can you do some....research about a certain sold out concerts? I need to know who bought a certain ticket to it......great, thanks.

Pyrrha, turning: Wha— Winter?
Winter, walking over to them: Hello you two. What are you doi— wait, are these your seats?

A REALLY long rant on the Joint Training Arc.
Okay, so since the Joint Training Arc is basically done, I thought I would share my various opinions and adress certain issues that A LOT of people had with this arc.
But, before we get into the actual rant, I think I should distinguish the difference between an opinion, criticism and just plain antagonism.
Here is an example of just misinformed toxicity:
Tumblr media
This is just being TOXIC!!! You can’t shelter these horrible comments by saying “it’s just an opinion.” Please don’t act like after 4 years of really enthralling writing, he’s now the worst writer ever. Instead, explain why you don’t think this was the best story choice, instead of being clearly misinformed. It’s nothing absolutely terrible, but just a simple example on how people can be so demanding and completely inconsiderate to the creator.
“Forbidding” Horikoshi from writing is actually ridiculous. He WROTE AND CREATED your “precious sons” that you love so much. So, if you claim that the manga is now utter trash because it doesn’t personally cater to you, please abandon or take a long break from the manga/anime to maybe clear your head. Thank you.
We don’t need any more toxicity in this fandom than we already do.
Now with that said, let’s talk about the arc! (Also keep in mind that these ideas spurred from Reddit so, I decided to expand on it)
1-B vs 1-A situation:
I've been reading a ton of comments too, the good, and the bad and it's fine, everyone has their opinions and that's cool, but for me, it didn't seem it was about who won or lost, it was more about how each class was taught. And this boils down to both Vlad and Aizawa.
Vlad has obviously been pushing his students and their quirks to the max in regards to working in teams. This shines through in all of the fights they all work together very well and know the strengths and weaknesses of each other as well as their enemies. They go into a battle with a plan and are ready to execute the plan flawlessly.
Whereas Aizawa I believe has pushed for more individualist thinking style, and I think this comes from his basis of fighting villains. No one will come to save you, you have to be able to handle yourself whether escaping or defeating. He doesn't coddle his students, and he does push them to the brink as well. What's interesting is Class A has had more hands-on experience. With Aizawa’s teaching style I think they sometimes have a harder time working with one another and they can fall apart with their teamwork. HOWEVER their real-life experience has taught them that the best-laid out plans can not go as plan, and they are able to utilize their 'individual' thinking to fight regardless of a plan falling through.
I found it really interesting and I think there's value in both ways of thinking for Vlad and Aizawa. For Class B, they will have to learn how to abandon a plan that's not working and strategize on the fly, and Class A will have to hone their teamwork for long-running battles.
And let's be honest, these are just kids, pushing their bodies and minds to the limit, I don't find Class B to be 'trash' just because they lost, they still fought hard and worked better together in the long run then Class A. Class B didn't have any dead weight with their battles, everyone was utilized and contributed to all their fights. People are so set on who “won” or who “lost” the battle, that people overlook everyone’s overall individual quirks and techniques. I personally believe that many of the 1-B students were amazing and are forces to be reckoned with. It’s just that 1-A knows how to handle themselves when things don’t to go to plan rather than 1-B (as mentioned before) which gave 1-A the upper-hand in most of the battles, but I can definitely name a few fights where Class A's members were carried by their team.
Now to address the Shinsou thing:
To everyone who was PRESSED that Shinsou didn’t win....
What do you expect from Shinsou? I feel like people were overestimating him. Even with those cloth bindings and his quirk. All you need to do is shut your mouth, grab his cloth bindings (at best he has a few months training) keep focusing on him,restrain him, and boom you're done.(I obviously know it’s not that simple, but basically) I love Shinsou, I really do, but he’s basically Aizawa (I love Aizawa too don’t get me wrong). Aizawa mentioned that it took FIVE YEARS for him to truly master his quirk, and even though since this is the younger generation, so he’ll probably get the hang of it sooner, how long as he really been “training” his quirk under Aizawa? Definitely not long enough for him to go 1v1 with someone who is a close combat fighter. (It really isn’t that shocking that Deku won, he could probably win without Black Whip). Don't get me wrong Shinsou has improved MONUMENTALLY but not to the extent of 1-A who has direct experience in fighting villains. I just think people are mainly mad that 1-B lost is as because they think Shinsou won’t get into the Hero Course. Like chill. One of the main reasons 1-A won in the first match was because of Shinsou, so I think that proves that he is MORE than capable to get in to the Hero Course.
The whole OP Deku thing:
First off, I honestly don't expect him to ever match All Might at his prime in terms of consistent pure raw strength. Deku isn't a giant man of pure muscle, so I don't think he'd be able to go 100 and maintain it like All Might could. Deku is more of a person of different techniques and strategy, rather than brute force. Like, I don't know if Deku is going to be throwing punches that can blow away a city block.
That being said, each generation is getting stronger. Like, Endeavor will be surpassed by Todoroki by the time he graduates (if it even takes that long). Iida is already faster than Gran Torino. In the very beginning of the manga, they mentioned Deku will be the strongest holder of OFA, since it gets stronger each generation. Deku will have formidable rivals if the other strong students also reach their full potential. Hell, those rowdy kids we saw at the makeup exam already had really strong quirks at their young age. Generational power creep means that everybody around Deku will get way stronger than the current pros.
I understand the sentiment that Deku doesn't need more quirks, but Deku's quirk development was already approaching a plateau in terms of being able to fully control what power he could handle. He'd just work on his technique and slowly get stronger and stronger. Sure, he's gonna eventually be able to punch/kick hard enough to shoot himself around in the air, but we've already seen that stuff (plus Bakugo does that too). I know Horikoshi is creative and will develop some cool moves for Deku, but Deku's struggle to control OfA was mostly over. All he had to do wast master OFA steadily and he’ll be good. More quirks means that he may unlock more quirks when he's able to use more %. So instead of reaching 30% and just being X amount stronger physically, he may unlock a new tool to try and master/incorporate into his combat toolkit.
If this is a negative turn for the story, we won't even be able to tell until many, many more chapters are released. We may look back and decide that this was a bad move, but we shouldn't assume that's the case when it was literally introduced TWO WHOLE CHAPTERS AGO. (even though I don’t think it was a bad move AT ALL)
What I hope to see in future Arcs:
I think what fans would really enjoy and we could all use some real Deku character development. Deku’s my favorite character, but I feel like people can’t connect to him as much as someone like Todoroki, because his lack of emotional development. He’s indeed way more confident then he was in the beginning, I still feel like he has low self esteem. Someone needs to tell him that he’s worthy of this mega powerful quirk. ( he needs it 😭)We know so much about him, but rarely see him living his day to day life outside of training, costume updates and the occasional villain attack. Last time we got anything close to development in was only told through Aoyama's development.
These next few chapters will definitely give us something, but only as it relates to One for All. I'd honestly like to know Deku's thoughts about his situation, he seems determined that's for sure. Does he feel stressed, uninformed, unprepared, scared...resentful? We can infer a bunch, I'd just like to see him talk to All Might, Bakugo or his mom about it.
In Conclusion:
Honestly, to me,It never seemed to matter who won or lost any of these matches people were gonna complain regardless. When Class A wins they call it predictable and when class B won they say call it BS or plot amor. Even when it’s a draw people got upset saying Todoroki was disappointing. Some people wanted the matches to be fleshed out over a couple of chapters rather than rushed, then a few weeks later complained that it was taking to long. Bakugo wins his match quickly and those same people lose their minds about how they wanted the match to be longer. People complained about Horikoshi not letting the girls shine in battle after the second match, but conveniently forgets Tsuyu was the MVP of the first match and Kendo and Mushroom girl made 1-B win the second match. (AND WE’RE NOT GONNA FORGET HOW URARAKA AND MINA DOMINATED THE MATCH)Then you have the people who say all of 1-B is worthless and then Juzo and Tetsutetsu prove otherwise. Now we have people think Deku is OP but in this new chapter it seems that he much has a limit to using these other abilities but I’m sure that won’t stop the myriad of complaints. Every week the same people come to see the spoilers and complain based off of a fragmented non-contextualized summary of the chapter and wonder why they enjoy the chapter itself less. Maybe going into a chapter with a negative outlook will do that. The part that irks me is that virtually everyone whose binge-read this arc seems to enjoy it only seems to be us week to week readers with a issue. Either way I hope the discussion going into the next arc are far more level-headed constructive than they have been.
I think this will be one of the arcs that played out better once it was animated. Individual panels maybe favored over the anime, but overall pacing will surely favor the anime. Waiting week in and week out, over analyzing every short chapter has really done no favors for fans and Horikoshi.
