Hey Cyber, pleasant surprise to see you drop in

Sorry for this random ask but I just reread the whole of On Mistakes and Birthday Cakes in one sitting because I saw that it had updated and DUDE YOU'RE SO AMAZINGLY TALENTED I WANT TO PICK YOUR BRAIN, thank you so much for writing! You have such a way with words, I'm hooked onto every sentence!

Ahh thank you sooo much!! It means so much to me that you enjoy my story, I hope it didn't take up too much of your time, haha! I know I can be long winded. :D On Mistakes is a story I've been sitting on for a long time, and I only recently got up the guts to actually start it lol. I'm glad my rambles are at least a little coherent.

Here is a little doodle for you (even though by my story's standards, Knuckles is taller than me lmao)

Hope you have a wonderful day/night, thank you again for your love and support <3

Knuckles, but since he grew up on a floating island, constantly surrounded by high levels of chaos energy; his body isn’t entirely used to existing on the planets surface and there are drawbacks

Thanks for reading, yo.

And thank you to @mcfanely for the gorgeous art! ❤

October is almost upon us and I’m planning out my contributions for One for All October!

Thoughts?

#1. Halloween one-shot: Yoichi and his brother live alone and have since as long as he can remember. His brother was a hard working man that had climbed up through the ranks and was able to afford them a nice house in the mountains. Yoichi always believed his brother was too overprotective and he “loved too much”, his greed culminating in his possessiveness over his own kin, but as a sickly young man, it was something the younger had accepted as his reality. After a terrible, sudden blizzard traps the two brothers in their mountain side home for over a week, and their food running low, AFO decides to attempt to trek out to the nearest home to see if they have any provisions. He tasks Yoichi with continuing to call for help through the radio or whenever the cell signal returns. Yoichi waits dutifully, but anxious, over his brother’s return. The cell signal is sporadic and, for only a moment, he is able to speak to someone about their predicament before it is cut off. After staying up all night, he falls asleep only to awaken near nightfall the next day. His brother finally returns, but is changed. His greed has turned into gluttony, but no matter how much he eats, he complains of an insatiable hunger. It comes to a head when the person Yoichi had gotten ahold of arrives and is killed and devoured by his older brother. AFO has turned into a Wendigo and Yoichi is able to lock him in a room. Now Yoichi has to decide if he should kill the beast his brother has turned into…or if he’d rather he be alive…regardless of the costs.

For the Halloween story, I am researching the Wendigo folklore of the Algonquin-speaking peoples of North America for this one-shot. I will not be doing the “Hollywood” idea of Wendigo, though I have to admit the whole “locking AFO up” is loosely inspired by a plot point in the movie “Antlers”. I suppose this one-shot could be considered a “reverse vaulting” prompt. I especially like this quote from Marlene Goldman’s ‘Rewriting Apocalypse in Canadian Fiction’(2005):

“The wendigo is seen as the embodiment of gluttony, greed, and excess: never satisfied after killing and consuming one person, they are constantly searching for new victims.”

The backdrop for the story represents the Wendigo typically being associated with the cold, winter, the North, famine and starvation.

Plus, I had a comment on ‘Alternatives’ asking for a cannibalism universe and I felt that if I was going to do it, it would probably be better in a separate one-shot.

#2. Modern Vaulting but there’s no Vault: Yoichi has always been the weaker, sickly little brother. He was too young to remember it, but his older brother would often remind him of how their mother, dying from an accident, begged AFO to always take care of his baby brother--no matter what. At 15 years old, Yoichi is finally blessed with being able to stay home alone, although for only a short time, when his brother and his girlfriend, Inko, decide to go out for their Anniversary. The occasion had another purpose, Inko reveals she is pregnant. Although at first perturbed that his brother wasn’t giving him regular text updates, AFO is obviously distracted—until they finally arrive home to find Yoichi unresponsive. After dying twice in the hospital and being revived: Yoichi slowly recovers, but his brother never does. Now, it’s 15 years later and Yoichi is about to turn 30 with a 14 year old nephew. Yoichi has grown up believing his older brother’s over protectiveness as “normal” and is excited when he is finally allowed to stay home alone for the first time in forever, but with his nephew in tow. What he doesn’t realize is that he isn’t babysitting his nephew, it’s the reverse. Upon overhearing a conversation and finding this out, Yoichi finally has the opportunity to start the teenage rebellion he never had against his older brother, but he doesn’t realize how obsessive his brother has become with both him and the idea of “order”. There’s no real vault here: only the unbreakable vault of will and arms of his older brother smothering Yoichi for 30 years.

This one is going to be weird and angsty and weird. Modern and no Quirks, but AFO is just as platonic-yandere as ever, but even more-so given the circumstances. Although Yoichi has to deal with his physical illness, he has no clue his brother has been battling a mental illness, made stronger and more apparent after almost losing his little brother. AFO becomes obsessed with Order and that things have to always be done a certain way. He needs ritual in his life or else he will snap. There’s going to be a lot of ridiculously creepy stuff that poor Izuku gets roped into including AFO’s daily, and multiple times in a day, checking of his brother’s vitals which he has written down in textbooks for YEARS so he can “compare”. Yup. I’ve thought up a real creeptacular doozy. Hell, who am I kidding?! This is Halloween material too!

#3. Stepford Brother: This is honestly just a plot bunny at this point and will only be written for the event if I have time. The idea is that Yoichi grew up in the overbearing care of his possessive older brother. That is until Yoichi finally is able to attend college as his major requires him to be on campus more often than not much to AFO’s chagrin. There, he makes friends with two other young men: the 2nd and 3rd users. They can tell that the relationship between the two brother’s is codependent and unhealthy. Their reasoning starts to get through to Yoichi, but the younger brother has been so programmed by his older brother that he can’t quite shake it off. Yoichi doesn’t attend classes for a week and his friends are unable to make contact during that time. That is until Yoichi suddenly starts to communicate back to them…but something is off. They finally decide to march up to the Shigaraki brothers’ home…only to discover that Yoichi…isn’t the same as he once was.

Stepford comes from “Stepford Wife” which is a term inspired by the story and films called “The Stepford Wives”. In the stories, once independent minded, strong women suddenly become docile and “perfect housewives” for their upper middle class husbands. It’s revealed that they were being replaced by robots. In this story, Yoichi is not being replaced by a robot, but is instead being brainwashed, possibly by a Quirk, that his older brother has acquired, to make him the “perfect little brother”.

Welp, those are my three story ideas for One for All October! Let me know what you think!

The talented @mcfanely ‘s fic Ambivalence inspired me to draw this piece, here is the link:

Ya’ll, this is such a good fic, would HIGHLY recommend it. In fact, I cannot recommend it enough :)

ninjago fic recommendations because i have so many Thoughts about them

gonna share some of my favorite ninjago fics bc they're so so so good and i want people to talk about them with me

Land of the Living by @captainbrookeworm - An evil scientist bent on using Lloyd's powers to resurrect his enemies chooses a poor one to start with - with Morro back alive he has to help Lloyd escape the facility, find a way to stop the bad guy, and keep the rest of the ninja from throttling him as everyone learns to adjust (pretty sure this has a sequel that i still need to read)

when you think you're all alone by @mondothebombo - A fic about a deeper look into what things were like for Jay aboard Misfortune's Keep. Lots of hurt, lots of comfort, lots of Jay needing therapy (TW: this fic contains depictions of torture and discussion of sexual assault so please be careful!) (also i've drawn fanart for this fic huehue)

The Ice Emperor and the Earth Dragon by @mcfanely - In the events of Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, things are changed when Cole gets zapped to the Neverrealm alongside Zane. With two ninja trapped instead of one, we get a different look at how the Ice Emperor comes to be, and just how far Cole is willing to go to protect his brother (this fic broke my brain ngl)

Current Hunger by @thoriffix - After a mission gone wrong, Jay's behavior begins getting more and more unstable. Dangerous. He's hearing whispers in his head, things that aren't there, and the ninja are noticing. Little do they know the danger is much bigger than anything anyone could've imagined (TW: a lot of psychological and body horror)

Play to Win by @sadisthetic - A Skybound one-shot. After getting captured on Misfortune's Keep, Cole didn't expect to be thrown into combat, much less against Jay. A one-shot about Jay and Cole and the worst round of Scrap N' Tap imaginable (tw: violence duh)

Visionary by @k1ngtok1 - A fic about Lloyd, getting an innermost look at the history of the people he cares about most

Would You Like to Enter Prime Empire? by @finn-m-corvex - A fic where Prime Empire carries out somewhat differently, with the ninja separated from Jay and having to work with him from the outside of Prime Empire

There's a Smell of Stale Fear by @spinchip - A one-shot about Jay tending to Zane in the aftermath of a traumatic event. A lot of reflection on Zane and what he's been through. (TW dark themes)

To rise after the fall by @k1ngtok1 - A series of fics centering around Cole and his realization that he has oni heritage. It's so cute and good and yes please read this series i am Begging you

Would You Like to Enter Stardust? by @aureallegories - Something goes wrong when Jay enters Prime Empire. Becoming a corrupted code in the game, Jay forgets the ninja entirely and becomes one of the hardest bosses in all of Prime Empire (i've drawn fanart for this fic too huehue)

Masking and Unmasking by HelloThere3306 - A one-shot set in the movieverse, all the ninjas identities are a secret until Lloyd's gets revealed to the group by accident. The ninja have to set aside their biases to get their green leader back.

@mcfanely can you stop coming up with good concepts for FIVE MINUTES

Alright, let the games begin! Unfortunately I could only choose male or female for gender, so I just kept it the default (male). Sorry.

a piece for @aimportantdragoncollector and @mcfanely ‘s One for All October

Am I hearing a Hunger Games AU Pocket? Or are you curious about the game mechanics?👀

No au, hunger games is something I wouldn't write an au story with unless I actually had something to say I think, but I was curious about the mechanics in fics that just do one fishbowl

@tunafishprincess @boss-the-goofball @mcfanely

Jearts, am I right?
