All Tomorrows/Killer Folk AU: Random Lore And Ideas I Have Currently Thought Of: TW/CW - Mentions Of

All Tomorrows/Killer Folk AU: Random lore and Ideas I have currently thought of: TW/CW - Mentions of suicide, death, and cannibalism. Read at own discretion

The vast majority of Areian cultures don't have writing systems. Areians are naturally farsighted (difficulty seeing things up close) so written writing systems are only useful at a distance. To combat this, many cultures have developed variations of tactile writing systems. Variants of embroidery journals, quipu knots, and wampum beads are common tactile writing methods. Corvids also act as the memory part of the Areian mind. They have better memory, so story-telling, songs, and corvid memory are other methods of writing and record keeping.

The Accurst are actually a diaspora. While most of their culture and cultural identity has been lost, they have been able to survive by intertwining with other Areian groups and hiding their identities as mush as possible. This had the backlash affect of erasing their cultural identity even more. To the point that only a few cultural marks exist, but very few Accurst know what they mean.

Areians beliefs are a mish-mash of pagan, shinto, animism, and jewish/islamic eating beliefs. Areians don't believe in good and evil, they believe in the concept of Health and Sickness. Health = Good and Sickness = Bad. Health is meant to be both physical and mental health as strength. Being able to die in battle, having given their full strength is considered a glorious death. Death by old age isn't frowned upon, but being old and not being right of mind is. Sickness is weakness and being weak of mind means you are risk. Most homes have either a separate Sick House/Sick Room to hide away those who are Sick. Blood is fine, but pus vomit, and other sickness related symptoms are considered bad.

This is where the Conventry comes into play. One of their advertised roles is that they are willing to interact with and help the sick. While Areians do have methods to deal with sickness (tonic, pills, food, etc...) most will just leave the sick alone. The assumption being that if a person succumbs to sickness, they were weak and a hindrance. The Conventry, with their access to ancient knowledge, is able to help these lepers and offer them the aid they were denied. Many clans find the conventry invaluable as a result. Hence, why they can influence the advancement of Areian societies. The fear of the very world becoming Sick is strong. So Areians work diligently to care for and cultivate the natural world around them. Anything that may help them, but would risk making the world sick is forbidden.

Sickness (physical and mental) varies across cultures. Most physical disabilities are still considered something to overcome and so are considered Sickness adjacent. Because the person is willing to overcome their ailments, they are still considered healthy. The same goes for mental illness.

This actually leads into another unique cultural aspect. Suicide is considered socially acceptable. Suicide is considered when a person starts to experience Sickness and doesn't want to die from it. Instead they will take tonics or pills to quickly end their lives. It is considered the honorable option because they are still of sound mind (health) and are capable of making such decisions.

Accurst are assumed to automatically be Sick because of their physical "deformaties". Which is why they are either hunted or indoctrinated by others in an attempt to cleanse sickness.

Ritual cannibalism is also a common funerary right. Throwing a large feast and eating the recently deceased is commonplace across cultures. The belief is that one can gain the the deceased strengths or skills and that their life wasn't a waste.

AFO & Yoichi have the best "back in my day" stories

I mean -

Izuku: Man, I wish the hot water worked.

Yoichi: BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T HAVE HOT WATER! ONLY THE RAIN AND THE RIVER BANK WE WERE BORN BY! AND SOMETIMES THE WATER WAS DIRTY-

Izuku: Traffic was terrible.

AFO: BACK IN MY DAY WE DELT WITH HORDES OF METAPOWER EXTERMINATORS ON THE STREETS, FOUGHT OFF FERAL RATS, AND YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT TRAFFIC? WE HAD TO-

Ahora necesito un FanFiction donde Segundo sea el regalo de Navidad de Yoichi.

One of these days, I'm going to write a no-quirks AU with all the OFA users, starting with AFO Yoichi's childhood and ending sometime around the time Deku has kids. For now, I have a WIP and some logistics to work out, so enjoy me posting something for this every once in a while.

Birthdays:

Yoichi Shigaraki: March 20th, the International Day of Happiness

(I like irony.)

Second: December 25th, Christmas

(He seems like the type to not care about holidays, so I made him born on one. There are some jokes I want to make, but I'll let you think of them.)

Third: September 8th, World Physical Therapy Day

(Best I could find that fit his quirk. Plus, now Yoichi gets to brag about being older than both of his heroes.)

Hikage Shinomori: July 28th, World Nature Conservation Day

(The man lived in a forest. In a different no-quirks AU, he would be a quiet librarian who seems so nice until some evil CEO decides to destroy a forest. Then he hits them with a dictionary.)

Daigoro Banjo: September 17th, International Country Music Day

(Look at him and tell me this isn't a man who listens to country music. He probably had a cowboy phase when he was six.)

En: August 1st, Lung Cancer Awareness Day

(I have a headcanon that his parents both had smoke related quirks, but theirs damaged their lungs. His lungs evolved to handle smoke though.)

Nana Shimura: October 4th, The beginning of World Space Week

(Since she could float, she was probably super into space stuff as a kid. Little Nana in a space suit making a space colony with LEGO. Think about it.)

AFO: June 6th, 6/6/6 so he really is a demon king.

(The only bad thing about this is that Yoichi talks about "catching up to him" every year.)

----

(All Might and Deku are not included because they already have their birthdays revealed.)

Newly discovered appreciation for Dragon Ball characters during rewatching and rereading, today's edition: Bulma.

Found a feral little boy in the woods, built a radar to find mysterious divine artifacts as a teenager, changed the world in the process, learned a foreign language within a week to fly a spaceship to another planet, looked at the objectively worst man in the universe, asked "is anyone going to fuck him?" and didn't wait for an answer. Ten years later he's her trophy husband. A malewife. Congratulations Bulma, you took a murderous genocidal maniac and made him your little bitch. Look at him. He's into it.

Nobody does it like her.
