An Archive Of Someone’s Own: My Experiences Being Groomed In Fandom Circles On AO3

I tried to like “copy” @crabbng ’s style because I love her art so much but then like I ended up doing like Idk? A mashup??? Idk I’m sorry I guess you can call this a tribute to her art? I love you Jacki. That’s all.

This chapter confirming my theory that AFO has terrible media comprehension reflecting that of MHA fans who are hating on this story for humanizing the evil characters

Ive been saying this for over 2 years now, i dont even care if the cost of endeavor’s death is the narrative acting like its a tragedy. Come on stain lets fucking GO

i still think touya and fuyumi should have been twins or the reason fuyumi being born so close to touya was because he was born sickly or something

I was gonna save this for my fic Interference by Half but let’s be real, idk when I’ll ever update that and this is an idea I’ve always wanted to share because I’ve hated the ‘just wear gloves’ “solution” for Tenko/Tomura, so:

If you give Tomura (pre-Deika) a pencil, and he touches it with five fingers, it’ll disintegrate. As long as he doesn’t touch the pencil with five fingers, it’ll be okay and he’ll be able to use it. Which is why Tomura is always shown grabbing things with only a few fingers, and why he was unable to decay ‘Sand’ in Chapter 160. 

Gloves - whether with some of the fingers cut off, as is most often headcanon’d, or each finger is made of different material - is one solution. We see little Tenko with gloves when he is taken in by AfO after manifesting his quirk:

But, see, I’ve always thought, how annoying. How uncomfortable it must be to have to keep gloves on 24/7. Sure, you can get some super-soft, thin-cloth ones; but it must still be bothersome, wearing, washing, getting it wet, etc. What if he gets a rash? So it always made sense to me that instead, Shigaraki would learn to have meticulous control over his fingers - free hands, and able to use his quirk whenever should he need to. 

For a child just starting to learn to use his quirk, this can be hard, true. So how to practice? How to keep his hands free? How can you accommodate a quirk like Decay? Instead of forcing Tenko/Tomura to wear gloves, what about spicing up his surroundings? 

So I thought, to use the pencil example above, why not wrap the pencil in ribbons or yarn? 

Strings of different yarn, ribbons; stickers and fancy tape; patchwork cloth of different materials. On pencils, controllers, toothbrushes, doorknobs, cups, etc. Semi-yarn-bomb the house! Decorate! It doesn’t impede anyone else living with him or using the same objects. 

So that he’s never actually touching an object with five fingers. One finger on wood, one finger on a sticker, one finger on a the yarn. 

It’s not a perfect solution, it’s not 100% decay-proof. There will be unlucky mistakes. Maybe I have the parameters for his quirk wrong. It’ll probably be useless once he’s in post-Deika self (or even, pre-massacre/he never loses his memories?)

But I think, for AU fics that have Tenko growing up normally or rescued, it’s worth considering what his caretakers might do to help him out, adapt his environment to his circumstances, embrace how he is, stuff like that. ‘Solutions’ or changes or a different perspective that make him feel a bit more normal, instead of “The kid who has to wear gloves 24/7 because his quirk is that dangerous”, maybe.

Oh fuck everything

That post about fly me to the moon and let me kick its fucking ass has permanently changed me.
