The Diary of Akari Tatopolous

Ok, the island girl dolls seem to have basically dropped off the face of the planet, that’s fine, I don’t even remember where I got them from, whatever.

What isn’t whatever is how it feels like everyone seems to be judging me everywhere I go, even here. One guy even asked if my backspines were real, and all I could do was glare at them.

It seems that even here, I can’t escape who I look like.

Bakugou, of all people, was the only person to notice my little rant, and went on some tirade about how people don’t care about the opinion of “some nerd’s shitty OC.”

Gotta admit I did not expect that kind of insult. It makes so little sense. I think I might use it from time to time.

-faskIf we’re gonna be honest, the internet here is WEIRD.

I mean, the guys over at Class 1-A? I’m fairly certain they have, like, three blogs per person - MINIMUM, and all of them active.

Take, let’s see, that Acid chick. Acido? Ashid? I don’t even know. But she has blogs like... @hero-pinky and @ask-pinky and apparently, an entire blog ran by her weird friend group, @bakusquad-blog

Then there’s the green kid who keeps breaking his arms. Deck, I think? @ask-dekuthehero , @ask-deku-kun , and the same deal with @ask-speedygravitysmash .

Then, frog chick? @ask-froppy-thehero , @ask-froppy-and-friends , @ask-frop

Rest assured, this will be the only blog of Akari of Class 1-D. I don’t think I can get away with running multiple blog like they do. I’ve got, like, homework n shit.

(p.s. if I accidentally hurt any of your feelings, feel free to meet me in the back of campus and smack me. I can take it. Or if you wanna follow me... EHHHHHH go ahead.)

Now, second rant - why are there so many Kaiju enthusiasts on this website? Like, I get it, Kaiju are inherently a fascinating subject, but some of you are obsessive... but I’m not gonna comment further on any of them right now.

Except for you, @kaijuguy19 , give your blog a better name >:(

Except no, that's just rude. Bad Akari, bad.

Uhhhhhhhh... I guess that's about it.

Sincerely,

Hey. Akari again. Well, you might be wondering where I go to school.

Well, I think it might be oversharing a biiiiiit, but, Yuuei. While it TECHNICALLY is the number #1 school for prospective heroes, I really only go because it's the closest school to the apartment my dad and I are renting, and heroics miiiiight not be my forte. Or maybe they might. I'm not really decided yet. If you're wondering about the class, it's Class 1-D. General Education.

Not a whole lot to say, honestly. Unless you're in the Hero or Support courses, you're basically just another student, and even Yuuei can't be a place where you can reasonably expect fun 24/7, soooooooo yeah.

Well, this turned out a short segment, so, uh, if anything interesting pops up, I'mma let you know.

Sincerely,

Hello. My name is Akari. I'm… just your average teen girl with a weird quirk. Nothing special.

I don't think so, anyway.

I guess I probably should talk about my interests,  but they're mostly common knowledge. Well, no point in trying to pretend you don't know, but… well, it feels right to give you a history lesson - even if, honestly, you don't need it.

In this world, people developed strange abilities. Super-strength, flight, laser beams, fire breath (That's mine, btw) and so much more. Most people have them, to the point where quirk-less people are rare. So why did people develop these powers?

If you ask the biologists like my dad, they did so to survive what lied out there.

Where civilization doesn't touch the world.

The beasts of ancient legend. The monsters that hid in the depths.

The Kaiju.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Most people doubt that Kaiju even exist anymore, and, y'know, they're probably right. But there are those that doubt they existed, period. This is what I dislike.

Lemme run you through history, as much as I know.

Our first encounter with the Kaiju? 1933, when some film director thought it was a good idea to bring a giant gorilla to New York. The beast broke out, kidnapped one girl, and climbed the Empire State Building. Took three planes to bring him down.

In time, the beast was believed to be the only one of the massive monsters anywhere… until 1954. Even those who don't believe the Kaiju existed still shiver at the date because this was the year Godzilla arrived. Tokyo was turned into a sea of flames, thousands died, and in the end, it took a brilliant chemist's sacrifice to bring him down. But this wasn't the end. No.

Rodan, Varan, Reptilicus, Mothra, Gorgo, hell, flipping Gamera! It just seemed like Kaiju were just crawling out of the woodwork! To humanity, it seems like extinction was inevitable…

But then, Quirks started to evolve, and things changed.

Heroes began to prove the Kaiju their equals, and eventually, we had them on the run.

In 1998, however, one showed up in New York and nearly gave us a scare - a massive iguana that was mistaken for Godzilla. It died after a few days of hero and military intervention, but… well, according to some reports, the damn thing REPRODUCED. The eggs were destroyed, sure, but still, it was a bit of a shock.

and even after New York recovered, the tragedy still lived on. I should know because I was born in New York, and my quirk developed real early… and it's a mutation type, which made me look an awful lot like the lizard.

Seriously, look.

See the resemblance?

Trust me, you're not the only one. In fact, it kinda scared off a lot of people. But now, my dad and I moved to Japan, where, hopefully, I might make friends!

…Or, y'know, be mistaken for Godzilla. :p

So, uh, this blog is… well, I guess it can be called a less-than-private diary. Or something.

We'll see.

Sincerely,
