My Brain While I Was Working On Rewritten Sparks:
My Brain while I was working on Rewritten Sparks:
Continuing with the question, why did you have difficulty between choosing the canon version and the prototype version of Bakugou?
Hello!
-
First and foremost, the comedic potential of prototype Bakugou, versus the more serious potential of canon Bakugou.
Prototype Bakugou would be funnier than canon Bakugou, as friends tend to be the most savage people to you, thus making it easier to laugh, especially since he says stuff without intending to be mean. It would make the serious moments all the more striking, too, but it would be a hard balance, especially as I don't view myself as very funny while writing.
Canon Bakugou presents a more serious side, as he represents a lot of what's wrong with hero society - the hyperfixation of quirks, an imaginative hierarchy that he stands at the top of, looking down on and beating the weak rather than protecting them, viewing heroism as a means to an end rather than a lifestyle.
The challenges differ as well, with Prototype Bakugou needing a good execution of the balance between comedy and serious topics, while Canon Bakugou's redemption has to be executed in such a way that feels realistic, but not frustratingly so.
I ended up sticking with canon Bakugou's set up, as I preferred his challenge. As someone who suffered from abuse and bullying, it really challenged me to think - about what my abusers and/or bullies would have had to do in order for me, not to forgive them, but to acknowledge that they truly have changed for the better.
It also felt right, to have someone so cruel, like Bakugou, become a hero. Because one of the messages is: 'not everyone can become a hero, but everyone has the capacity for heroism'.
Making this message work for Bakugou, for canon Bakugou, is very interesting to me, and I think I have a good plan for it too.
Prototype Bakugou, while he would be an interesting character, leaves a hole for the archetype that canon Bakugou would represent: the redeemed hero. Someone who starts as a horrible person and learns to become kinder.
It's an archetype that I love, which is why I did not like Bakugou in canon at all, because the execution was horrible.

Thanks for the ask!

Selim Bradley is twelve years old, rich, a straight A student, Student Council President, and is already in his senior year. And to top it all off, he will become the King of the Senior Prom. Or so he thinks. After Edward Elric loses his arm and leg in a car crash, people started to flock to him instead of Selim. They even put him in the Senior Prom King Election in pity. Inspired by Ryan Scott Oliver’s song ‘The Ballad of Sara Berry’, follow the story of how a boy slowly loses his sanity over the course of a school year all because he lets his pride and arrogance get the best of him.

Huge shoutout to my mutual, @cheskasmagicshire, for making this beautiful chibi of Sunny Day! Some MHA fans may remember her from her Erasermic Fancomic, which is one of the main inspirations of this AU. She has her own original comic called Caretaker over on Webtoon.
If you’re a fan of Cheska's old comic, you'll love Caretaker. Who knows...Mic and Aizawa might pop in there.

I’m trying something...
Reblog this and type your favorite Ninjago quote.
Mic: What happened?
Aizawa: You turned into a bird monster...again.
Mic: That would explain my headache, but...why does my mouth taste like roadkill!?
Aizawa: You might have eaten something or someone. Hopefully, it’s the former otherwise-
Mic: *starts to gag*
Recovery Girl: DON’T YOU DARE!!! I JUST HAD THESE FLOORS CLEANED!!!
Mic: *throws up All Might**
Aizawa: Hello there, All Might.
All Might: *lays there in shock* ...
Mic: Uh, hello? Earth to All Mi-
All Might: I’m just gonna...lay here for a minute.
Aizawa: ...
Mic: ...
Recovery Girl: ...
Mic: That’s fair.
Recovery Girl: At least lay in a bed...
AU where Mic has a curse like Eda, but he turns into a cockatiel beast instead of an owl one. Everyone in the school sans Midnight, Aizawa, and Vlad King believe that Aizawa is the beast at first because who would think that the outgoing and friendly Mr. Mic would be a huge monster. All Might plays the role as the Snaggleback, and gets traumatized after Mic spits him out.

😀😀😀
Bro- I realise I dont put enough respect on quiet feral Mic which is honestly criminal.
For @nutzgunray-lvt since I can't send you an ask nor a message:
How do you feel about Mic being dismissed throughout the series? For me, it inspired the importance of Sunny Day's (my AU version of Mic) role in Rewritten Sparks. She's a lot more involved in the plot and rather than just being support for my AU version of Aizawa, the two of them support each other equally.
