Hermitcraft Advent Day 9: Hypno

If youre unsure of what this is in reference to, i'd recommend watching Hypno's episode 10, where he retaliates to Wels building a tunnel into his storage room.

Plus hot chocolate.

Writing Advice

If you want to include dark subjects and/or difficult topics in your writing (character death, addiction, mental health, SA, abuse, etc.) then you have to dive into the consequences of the topic - never shove it into the story just for the sake of drama, stakes, audience retention, or whatever other reason that doesn't have to do with the story itself.

To use one of the "lighter" examples here, let's so you decide to kill of a character - for the sake of simplicity let's call this character A. Now that they're dead, how does A's absence affect the story? How do other characters feel and cope with A's death? Who's grieves and morons A? Who's denying that A is even gone? Who's numbed and confused about A's death? Who's happy about A being gone? How long does it take for everyone to settle into a new normal without A? What does this new normal look like for them? What makes A's death actually important instead of a background character that no one would notice is gone?

These are all very important questions to ask if you're going to kill of a character, with each piece making the characters feel more alive and making A's death have actual weight behind it. To ignore these questions, leads to a flat world with characters who feel inhuman for how they can move on form the ultimate end and A's death feeling unimportant and something you'd only remember when looking over a wiki. This also means having characters die at the end of the story a half-assed choice. Don't get me wrong, it can still work if handled well - one way to handle this well is focusing completely on character reaction instead of the long running consequences. It's just that many times I've seen characters dying at the end of the story is just to ramp up the stakes, so their death isn't lingered on for long enough for it to feel like it has any importance other than being recognizable characters being the ones dying.

This advice runs true for all examples of dark subjects and difficult topics. You can't just have traumatizing things happen to characters and then not bother to look into the permeant ramifications of that trauma, along with just saying a character has a mental illness, not bothering to research the mental illness, and instead show only a stereotype of a mentally ill person. Not properly showing the consequences makes the world feel flat, the audience feel bored or annoyed, and worst-case scenario cause legitimate harm to those engaging with your work.

This is a rather common mistakes for first time writers to make, they tend not to fully think about the consequences of certain scenes and how it will permanently affect the story. If you've made this mistake before then that's absolutely okay, just remember to ask these impotent questions in the future.

Okay, fair warning, this last paragraph as less to do with actual advice and more me complaining about this mistake happening on a professional level even though if you've been in this creative field long enough to make it into a career you should know better by then. Okay? Okay.

But, and this is what led to me thinking over all this stuff and wanting to give out this advice to the world, this is also a common mistake made by middle aged or older men who are professionals in their creative field to make towards female characters and the topic of SA. I think this mistake stems from these producers/writers viewing SA as a "female trauma" (incorrect but you can't expect much of these dudes), so if they have a female character that they need to give trauma they'll just go with SA and not care about the long terms ramifications. Meanwhile male characters get family death, commonly his wife and/or child[ren], as their main trauma and it's still not treated with much respect - it's mostly just treated as the motive for why the male character is doing what he's doing and the dead wife and/or child[ren] are never shown having a life or personality of their own that would really make their death feel like a tragedy outside of the relationship with the male character, which is a disservice to the character(s). If you're going to make a character, or multiple characters, someone's whole motive then you should at least try and get us to care about the character on their own.

LGBTQ+ Headcanons (MHA)

Please remember that these are only headcanons, if you disagree with me then that's all chill.

Shigaraki Tomura: AroAce spec. He's just entirely disinterested in sex, primarily due to the fact that his touch can literally kill someone. However, when it comes romance, he will typically describe himself as gay. This is due to his logic of, "I have been attracted to 0 women and 1 (3) men, so the math says gay".

Spinner: Biromantic (no known preference) and ace spec. He doesn't really want to do the horizontal tango primarily due to body insecurities, but outside of said insecurities he'd need to have a rather in-depth relationship with someone to feel sexual attraction.

Kurogiri: AroAce spec, mostly just indifferent towards both sex and romance.

Mr. Compress: Panromantic asexual. I'll be honest, this is primarily just projection lol. Still think it fits him pretty well.

Dabi: Bi, with a preference for men.

Toga: Bi, no known preference.

Uraraka: Bi, no known preference.

Twice: Straight. He'll sometimes say some sus stuff, but he is ultimately straight.

Magne: Trans, also bi-curious.

Oboro: Panromantic ace spec. Again, lowkey projection lmao.

Aizawa: AroAce spec, has been attracted to one person.

Mic: Gay.

Midnight: Straight.

Overhaul: Biromantic (without his knowledge) and asexual.

MT Lady: Bi, no known preference.

Kami: AroAce spec, he needs to actually know someone before feeling romantic or sexual attraction.

Momo: Ace. She can feel romantic attraction, but she's 'accepted' that it's unlikely for her to find someone who would be okay with her asexuality.

Bakugo: He's just attracted to strength. Their gender isn't relevant, only whether or not they could kick his ass is relevant!

Kirishima: Gay.

Denki: Pan.

Shinso: Gay.

Jirou: Bi.

Iida: Biromantic asexual, he can only feel sexual attraction once he really knows the person.

Deku: Bi, no known preference.

Todoroki: Confused Bisexual. He's pretty confused by romance and the stuff that goes into it, but that has less to do with his sexuality and more to do with his upbringing (Endeavor you little shit-).

Fuyumi: Lesbian.

Natsuo: Straight.

Rei: Straight.

Endevour: Unknowing bi, he confused the feelings of a crush on All Might for a rivalry of some kind. Said crush died long ago, though he did keep up the behavior which led to the mess that is the Todoroki family.

Hawks: Bi, with a preference for men.

Mirko: Bi, with a preference for women.

All Might: Bi-curious.

AFO: He's really just into the feeling of having power over someone. Sometimes it's in a sexual context, other times it's not (it depends on the person he has power over).

I lowkey kinda hate Endeavor's repentance arc. Not because I don't want to see an abusive character get better, I actually think it's incredibly important to show that people like this are capable of change but that does not inherently mean that you have to forgive them, I hate it because this shouldn't have been the wake-up call.

The wake-up call to all the damage he'd done shouldn't have been when he got what he wanted and realized that it isn't as fulfilling as he thought it be, leading to him reflecting on everything he's done to get there. No, it should've been when his eldest son "died" due to his ambition. He should've figured out just how much damage he was doing when Touya burned himself alive just to become his "perfect progeny" so that he could be "loved" by Endeavor again (he thought Touya was what he was looking for until he actually devolved his quirk and the drawback was discovered). The accident wouldn't have even happened if Endeavor had bothered to properly teach him how to turn off the fire!

To add another layer of how much Endeavor not bothering to reflect on what he's done after Touya's "death", Touya would've likely come back. It's revealed that Touya visited the Todoroki house to see how things had changed after his death, and what made him decided to continue on the war path and become Dabi was that everything was still the same. The only difference is that there was now an altar to morn him, everything else remained the same. If Touya had seen that things had changed after his death, that Endeavor worked to become better because of the tragedy, then maybe he would've stayed. Maybe he would've revealed he was alive and they could've been a family again. Don't know if they could ever be a "happy" or "healthy" family, considering everything around Endeavor and Rei getting married and the nature of Shoto's birth, but they most certainly could've been a family. One that would've stayed together, one with their mother not in a mental hospital, one that could maybe one day become proud to say that Endeavor was their father instead of refusing to his fire out of a strong desire to never be like him. But nope! Endeavor only realized how destructive he was to his own family when his youngest was 16 and "2"/4 of his children were adults (1/4 is "dead" and 1/4 is still a minor), far too late to undo any of the damage he's done. Too little, too late.

The thing that's makes this so much funnier for me is that Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Shouto will probably be fine due their, assuming with Natsuo and Fuyumi, iced based quirks then heat ain't gonna be that bad. Meaning that the only one who really suffers here, is Endeavor.

The league on an extremely hot day.

Shigaraki, laying on the floor: “Spinner, I think I’m dying.”

Spinner: “That’s a little dramatic. You’re the one who insisted we stay here.”

Shigaraki: “That was before I knew it was a hellscape.”

Mr. Compress: “Perhaps next time we choose a hideout, we don’t base it off of how close it is to the nearest arcade.”

Shigaraki, glares.

Mr. Compress: “Just a suggestion…”

Twice and Toga walk into the base carrying a window AC unit.

Twice: “Look at what we got!”

Spinner: “Seems like you’ll live.”

Shigaraki: “Shut up. Where did you get that?”

Toga: “Dabi helped us find it!”

Mr. Compress: “How?”

Dabi: “I have my ways.”

—

Endeavor, walking out of his office: “Where the hell is my AC unit?!?!”

Natsuo: “As if you even need one, you’ll never be cool.”

Fuyumi: “Natsuo!”

Shouto, high fives Natsuo.

Endeavor, leaves.
