Katsuki asking Izuku if he could still catch up to him as he is dying with Izuku’s horrified expression as he sees his childhood friend lying on the ground not moving is the definition of heartbreaking.
you have infected me with thinking about Tomura getting healthier
Tomura having a regular weight from eating good food
Tomura's skin having a normal color as he spends a normal amount of time under the sun
Tomura learning to live in a regular clean place after the bar
Tomura getting to live regular activities like going to the zoo or getting to go at a funfair like a regular citizen
yes anon you get it!!! he deserved to recover. he deserved to experience the world. he deserved to be happy!!!
everyone in the lov got to live and went to therapy and recovered in my mind palace. they meet once a week for dinner, at dabi's place. everyone rolls their eyes fondly when he tells them not to destroy his apartment. compress and magne always choose some kind of new, fancy food to bring for the others to try. (compress insists it's not stolen, and everyone doesn't question him, whether they believe him or not.) spinner is still writing his book, and they all make comments on the new chapter as he reads it out loud. toga is taking remedial classes, with plans to become a nurse. tomura is slowly learning to open up, his service dog is helping him, or at least that's what his therapist thinks. they're all happy.
tomura still has nightmares. his body still aches. when the war was his only priority, his missing fingers didn't bother him as much, since he didn't have time for normal activities. now he can barely type on a keyboard or hold a controller, and he's incredibly frustrated by that. but it's okay, because he has you, and people who are willing to help him. and theres something that feels.. human about frustration in the mundane. the world's still a bit shitty, but he's able to see so much more of it. in some ways, he wouldn't be able to recognize himself, in ways that aren't just physical. some days, his face hurts from smiling so much. on other days, he cries from emotions he used to not be allowed to feel. for once, he's not so angry.

Izuku: Okay, no complaining when we do our shift at the soup kitchen. These are homeless people who need comfort and help.
Bakugo: Tch, I wasn’t gonna do sh-
Izuku: What’s wrong?
Bakugo: What the hell?
Izuku, turns to look:…Aizawa-sensei?
Aizawa, eating soup at the table: Hey, problem child.
Izuku: Why are you here?
Aizawa: I came early to check on you two and they just looked at me and served me without question.
Izuku and Bakugo:
Aizawa, still eating: Felt wrong to turn it away.
I use it as a coma
NAH I LOVE THE WHOLE BACKSTORY WE GOT GIVEN THATS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE-
It's true, the Moonberry Surprise moment, it is my fault
I hope you can forgive me for my sins. Hahahaha.
Ok, let's talk about this little sequence. But first, some... context?
Ok, so, Dragon Prince was my first job as Storyboard Artist, before coming to DPR I was working as a Storyboard Revisionist in Lego NinjaGo Crystalized. So I applied to Dragon Prince with not hopes that they will hire me, and when the offered my the job I was in awe.
So basically I arrived to work in season 4 as a Junior Storyboard Artist. they gave me little sequences during season 4 (I was mostly helping my unit director with revisions) they gave me more during season 5 and 6, working on my strengths, emotional moments, long talking sequences and some combat. You know what was not there? comedy, because was not one of the things I knew well how to do. But after a year and a half working in the show, I was seasoned enough to be a proper Storyboard Artist, not a rookie anymore. So they finally assigned me a comedy sequence.
I was terrified. Today after years in the industry, I can say that I am not scared of comedy anymore. But when I read the script and I realized that they were expecting a big comedy moment from me , I knew I was in trouble. But as they say, "you fake it until you make it" I took a deep breath and smile to my unit director like "Of course I can do this!"
But ok, lets talk about the sequence. We start nice, with the moon fam enjoying some time together. Was an opportunity to work with Runaan and Ethari, and that is always cool! I love how Ethari is just happy of everyone being there, and Runaan just wants to kill Callum (in an affectionate way, like he is just a protective dad, you know, a no nonsense dude)
So yeah, they talk a little and Rayla handles Callum a slice of Moonberry Surprise. Is like this almost mythical dessert that is said tastes like nothing else in all Xadia. And Callum is so excited to try it!
So, the script did not call for anything you saw in that sequence. The script instructed to reveal the Moonberry Surprise like something out of this world, and then have Callum almost having an epiphany when he tries it. My first idea was to have Calum almost levitating on his seat while eating it, while the rest of the moon fam looked at them in confusion. But during the launch of the episode (this is the stage where directors and in the case of DPR writers, tell SB artist what they want for every sequence we will board, se pitch ideas, and so on) was more clear to me that they were expecting something more of an "out of this world experience". Like the "I love books" moment that Callum had on season 5, episode 2 but on steroids.
So I was ok, lets make it as trippy as possible. So we have this fast zoom in into Callums face, that lead us into this "dimension of flavor" he is being transported to.
And he opens his eyes and he is floating in this space of color and flavor, his spirit being lifted by this experience.
He is experiencing all this flavors, eating this huge blue berries (this was my Unit director idea, Thanks Katherine!!), when something catches his eye. A figure, looking to him from the above, almost like a god.
And Callums looks up, revealing... this:
So, I have a really particular sense of humor (not unique, because I feel a lot of people share it, particular because really specific things make me laugh a lot). I was born late 80's grew up on the 90's with all the weird cartoons and anime of that time. For me adding muscular arms to things is the best joke ever.
This is peak humor to me:
So I was like, what if, Callum does the Titanic spinning thing, with a muscular slice of pie? So I did that... And I was SURE they will reject it.
So I finished my roughs, and I sent them to my Unit Director. She was "this is so stupid" (in the best way) so, she added some placeholder music, and send it for review from the directors, while both of us were expecting to have it rejected.
A couple of days after, our Storyboards Supervisor was like "WHO DID THE MOONBERRY SURPRISE SEQUENCE??" And I was like "me?", and he was like "Aaron LOVED IT!" and I was like "?????" so, yeah, was approved.
So yeah, that is my legacy, I guess. I am Runaan in this shot:
So well, those are all my sequences in episode 705.
Sorry again for being responsible for the birth of that thing. But that is my son now, and I kinda love him, even if he looks like that....
Next post will be my last! So yeah, stay tunned for my last post about my boards in The Dragon Prince, episode 708!
