aosdjoadj oh gosh, Anon, I confess I was worried that the post wasn’t good enough and didn’t have enough examples and didn’t encapsulate every kind of twist one could have, since I blanked after three on all the points I wanted to make, so this really means a lot to me, thank you!
Whew, that’s a lot of my most recent ones! I’m sure I have more if I go back a few years, but this’ll get you started.
It should be noted though that all these essays could be re-tagged as “Maggie yells at Maggie about things she needs to remember” – I don’t pretend to be an expert on any of the topics I’m writing about. They’re generally things I’m trying to improve at, or they’re mistakes I’ve seen mainstream stories make, or they’re solicited advice that I did my best to answer and to acknowledge I don’t have all the answers. But I hope you will enjoy them!
Hi Newt’s code for the order to open all the breeches and stuff? Lima Victor. In nautical flag language Lima means “You should stop your vessel immediately” and Victor means “I require assistance”. Now either this is just random bullshit or the code for the name of the order the precursors programmed is a cry for help from the real Newt
I’d like to add that when this word for word theory was tweeted at DeKnight, he absolutely confirmed that It was done on purpose.
Yeah I’ve seen that episode already and I could definitely see some possibility there for them to become really important to one another! It just felt like not enough for me, I guess? Like I was sort of hoping there’d be another episode where they’re close that builds on that, can I expect one of those later? I’m 100% game to have a new ship tear my heart out, and I see that the BNHA fandom is huge and looks like it has some fabulous writers, but so far no particular ship has grabbed me *shrug*
On the subject of My Hero Academia shipping, I’ve seen that the really popular one is Midoriya/Shouto, and I hope I haven’t missed the episode yet where that ship got popular because it looks like it COULD be cute and mutually supportive and wholesome, but I just haven’t seen enough yet to feel a connection between them yet.
Cut for spoilers
The Bakugo / Midoriya ship kiiinda makes more sense to me, but I’m on the fence. On the one hand, jfc there’s a lot of what looks like confused teenage self-directed homophobia going on with Bakugo. His resentment and obsession towards Midoriya feels SO MUCH like the girl who wrote the note that said “Get out of my school” at her (female) crush because she couldn’t handle having so many weird feelings towards another girl so it MUST be hatred, right? Midoriya definitely looks/looked up to Bakugo and is equally obsessed with him and fixated on him in a way that feels like a crush. I can definitely see a maturation of their relationship which is them no longer being dumbasses and realizing it’s less that they want to hit each other in the face with their fists and more like they want to attack the other’s lips with their lips, kind of situation.
The only problem is that Bakugo’s level of irrational rage towards Midoriya is seriously obnoxious at times. I’m at the point where I really hope they’ll reveal soon wtf baby Midoriya did to piss this guy off so much! Clearly there’s some incident or belief in Bakugo’s head that makes Midoriya WAY WORSE than it actually was (probably) and that he just can’t let go. But there comes a point where the rivalry just becomes abuse and I can’t really ship it even as a “stupid boys who don’t realize their anger is actually a crush” because so much nastiness happened first, like really ugly physical stuff and rage. They’re forced to team up in the episode I’m watching now (2.37) and I basically paused this because I SENSE I’ll be getting answers on the above soon but man, I want to smack the shit out of Bakugo right now, not ship him with Midoriya. I’ll ship Midoriya with fuckin’ ANYONE else before that, jfc, he has chemistry with EVERYONE after all because he’s a sweetie.
baby’s breath and laurel (purity of heart and glory)
work’s really been bogging me down these last few weeks, so I decided to take a little break over the weekend to have some fun and draw something for myself
and what better way to do that than drawing my nerds in flower crowns (◡‿◡✿)
