currently undecided if this is an “Eraser and Mic are former class S and still pining for each other”-type ‘verse or if it’s a “Eraser and Mic are disgustingly married”-type ‘verse
just came up with a bnha au where UA is an applied and narrative arts college which specifically focuses on art as a force for positive change (like: human-centered design, accessibility architecture, free press, etc) and Midoriya is an aphantasic aspiring mangaka who somehow convinces the legendary All Might to come out of seclusion and take over UA’s previously moribund graphic novel program

other programs include printmaking/book arts (Aizawa), audio production and broadcasting (Mic), graphic design (13), architecture (Cementoss), culinary arts (Lunch Rush), metalworks and mechanical design (Power Loader), photography and film (Snipe), performance (Nemuri), special effects (Ectoplasm), fashion and textiles (Best Jeanist), and conservation/restoration (Recovery Girl)
couple notes on these:
13’s specialty is UI design and in particular designs around emergency equipment and communication in dangerous situations
did I give Eraser one of my specialties bc he’s my favorite? yes, but also because I legitimately think it suits him, it makes a great foil to Mic’s specialty, and it means he can threaten students with The Guillotine

thinking about it some more and I have some idea of what their marks might be—
Kim’s mark would be a band of riotous color that depending on how you looked at it could be lights on a dance floor, paint on a wall, the skyline of Martinaise, a really fucking ridiculous tie, or any number of other things
Harry’s mark would be the image of an aerostatic slicing through a bank of obscuring fog to reveal a vast clear sky
disco elysium soulmate au where Kim was, like the vast majority of people, unmarked—but then Harry rewrote his own personality

Harrier duBois: disingenuous workaholic hardass
Kim’s soul: I sleep
Harrier duBois: goofy insightful mensch
Kim’s soul: real shit

of course, the hilarious irony in this is that, in the original canon, Erik was the one who pulled the caper that split Scott and Jean up and made them think each other dead
ok I haven’t seen X-Men ‘97 yet but
are the writers actually applying not only the “psychic rapport using a very particular phrase to describe it” plot point but also the “they get separated in a way that makes them think the other dead, and the non-telepath tries to move on by dating someone else, which doesn’t end up being serious but helps him open up as a person” plot point to Erik and Charles?
because those are plot points from the original Dark Phoenix saga. those are from Scott and Jean’s storylines. those are originally explicitly romantic plot points.
like. the Chris Claremont run is what made the X-Men what they are today, and the Dark Phoenix saga is often considered the crown jewel of that run. I’m not saying this is absolutely definitely intentional, but this is a staff that choreographed Cyclops’ fights after how he plays in Marvel vs Capcom. they know their shit, X-Men wise.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

all-day nosebleed sonnet I.
O! Noxious wound of battle never fought
That breaks my fast with broth from my own bones
And slakes my thirst with bitter iron draught
That weights my gut with Mars’ molten stones.
I’faith, thy fetid flow may yet outstrip
That of the blighted womb that late I bore,
Yet in the end, much tighter is thy grip;
One’s own skull may not, living, be foreswore.
Blood, issued from sweet Reason’s very breast,
Shouts: “Heed that thou wilt die!” Could I forget?
Pace not the plot where I’ll eternal rest,
I’ve scarce begun my share of living yet.
God grant the air never my face assay
To find its own vehicle bars the way!

also, I’d appreciate some clarification: did echo park burrow its way into carta bella’s rib cage, feast on its entrails, and fashion its skin into an unconvincing disguise, or was it the other way around?

come to think of it, this is also very erasermiccore, especially if you subscribe to my “they used to be class S and Eraser broke it off for Mic’s career but they’re still pining for each other” theory
today’s zosancore: the bit from Watchmen chapter III when Dan and Laurie fight off a group of muggers and, as the fight ends, they turn to each other high on adrenaline and nearly kiss before nervously backing away

Goe: [makes threat displays against his own reflection]
me: what sorta backwards fuckin’ pageantry is that?
Goemon can be so zippy when he tucks in his trailing forefins and his dorsal frill and just fuckign GOES
conversely, he can deploy those fins to come to a screeching halt
and every time he does it I think of the way the main character says “pump th’ brakes” in the cold open of Letterkenny s1e1
