"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair."

"I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind."

"I hate it, I hate the way you're always right."

"I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry."

"I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call."

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

"Some asshole paid me to take out this really great girl/guy/person."

"I screwed up. I, um, I fell for her/him/them."

"Make anyone cry today?"

"She/He/They never wanted me. She/He/They wanted (name) the whole time."

"Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it."

"I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?"

"So you disappoint them from the start and then you're covered, right?"

"Just 'cause you're beautiful, that doesn't mean that you can treat people like they don't matter."

"Alright, wait a minute. No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, NO ritual animal slaughters of any kind."

"Oh, God, I'm giving them ideas."

"You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know?"

"I guess in this society, being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time."

"Someday, you gonna get bitch-slapped and I'm not gonna do a thing to stop it."

"Otherwise known as an orgy?"

"And hell is just a sauna."

"Yes, Miss/Mister/Mx "I Have An Opinion About Everything"?"

"I know how difficult it must be for you to overcome all those years of upper middle-class suburban oppression. Must be tough."

"Well maybe you're not afraid of me but I'm sure you've thought about me naked, huh?"

"Am I that transparent? I want you, I *need* you, oh baby, oh baby."

"Romantic? Hemingway? He was an abusive, alcoholic misogynist who squandered half of his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers."

"All right, not that I give a damn, but how was everybody's weekend?"

"She's/He's/They're meeting some bikers. Big ones. Full of sperm."

"Ooh, see that, there. Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?"

"Well, that's what she/he/they would have said if she/he/they wasn't/weren't so doped up!

"Don't touch anything! You may get hepatitis."

"Should you be drinking alcohol when you don't have a liver?"

"Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?"

"Hey listen, assail your ears for one night."

"She/He/They has/have a pair of black underwear, if that helps."

"Don't, for one minute, think that you had any effect whatsoever on my panties."

"Sweating like a pig actually and yourself?"

"Obviously I struck your fancy so you see it worked. The world makes sense again."

"Hey, no, hey. I don't wanna hear that defeatist attitude... I wanna hear you upbeat!"

"Maybe if we were the last two people alive, and there were no sheep. Are there sheep?"

"Only so we can have these moments together. Should I, uh, hit the lights?"

""Hates him with the fire of a thousand suns." That's a direct quote."

"Something true... I hate peas."

"You're sweet, and sexy, and completely hot for me."

"I don't know. Maybe it is up your ass?"

"I learned French for you!"

""Heinous bitch" is the term used most often."

"The shit hath hitith the fan... ith."

"You don't always have to be who they want you to be, you know?"

"I happen to like being adored, thank you!"

"She/He/They, my friend, is what we will spend the rest of our lives not having, Put her/him/them in your "Spank Bank" and move on."

"You're wrong about her/him/them. I mean, you know, not about the spanking, but the rest, you're wrong!

"I warned him that if he told anyone, the cheerleading squad would find out how tiny his dick is!"

"It's not quite the crisis situation you imagine."

"Can we, for two seconds, ignore the fact that you're severely unhinged."

"That was until she/he/they kissed me."

""Quivering member." I like that."

"You are amazingly self-assured, has anyone ever told you that?"

"And I didn't sleep with a Spice Girl... I think."

"You're 18, you don't know what you want. And you won't know what you want 'til you're 45, and even if you get it, you'll be too old to use it."

"And I'm BACK IN THE GAME!"

"I have a dick on my face, don't I?"

"Do you even know my name screwboy?"

"I was watching you out there, before. I've never seen you look so sexy."

"Has the fact that you're completely psycho managed to escape your attention?"

"You're not as vile as I thought you were."

"You're looking at this from entirely the wrong perspective. We're making a statement."

"Oh goody, something new and different for us!"

"Oh, I'll stay away from (name), but I can't guarantee she'll/he'll/they'll stay away from me."

"Oh wait... was that... did your hairline just recede?"

"I'm getting trashed, man. Isn't that what you're supposed to do at a party?"

"I don't know. I say do what you wanna do."

hmm, well probably the game but at the same time it can be confusing outside of the mission outlined in the story campaign. it is like completely understandable to be like what the fuck is happening because it it just does that..

it helps to rewatch the various parts and pay attention to different things each time, like instead of focusing on the main character doing the Thing, looking at the background posters or the mannerisms shown by the animation help a little..

honestly, its helpful to have someone whos already into madcom guiding you throughout because a lot of details about the lore can be difficult to get just from watching the series and game.. shit a large part of the big picture of nevada and whats happening is discussed in arena mode, and even so its not that well explained in your first run of it, you gotta keep going.. so you have to really dig

you'd also have to go diving for the bits where krinkels answers questions people have like an archive of his responses to curious cat questions or clips of him answering questions on twitch/youtube. ..

its a little hard if a character hasnt got your attention in particular, thats how it is for me..

my thing is you just gotta really get curious about it, the what the fuck is happening you gotta lean into getting your fingers dirty in understanding why the fuck is happening

I wanna remind u about this logic DBH

Androids, in theory, are supposed to do things human can do but without these survival instincts in order to reach maximum efficiency, since they're machines, computer tools specifically to handle the lack of animal survival we evolved with.

But that's... Not really 100% true. Androids were programmed with "survival instincts" but in prol of the owner. It's more about avoiding damage so the owner doesn't ain't in disadvantage rather than the android surviving for themselves.

Mix that with the fact CyberLife's motto is "imitation to perfection" and now u get where 80% of the deviant cases come from. That's why it's important remembering already existent things lead to deviancy since they start getting out of control, not the opposite.

But then u would ask "But Marcus, how much control an android got over their own system?"

And that's a good question. How much of these "unconscious" systems they're aware of and are able to interfere? Since, well, they're supposed to be literal and straight to a point, irrelevant things ignored. So I would say, much like they got a metaphorical wall keeping 'em inside 'em masters orders, they can't simply control everything, they ain't even supposed to notice it unless it's relevant for the master or task. And if what I mentioned by the survival instinct is 100% true, then they can't interfere in these impulses either, can't shut it down, turn it off - it'll be triggered and they'll have to deal with it. The red flag tho is in not doing for the sake of a human, which in most cases can end up with laws or orders being directly ignored or disobeyed, it's were deviancy happens.

If the android is lucky enough they're like Connor, since his master lets him make multiple decisions alone, what keeps him in "non deviant" state while struggling with the concept of life and death. If the android is unlucky enough they're like 2012's Kara, who the first impulse when opening her eyes is start to question things even to the point she fights the assembly machine over fear of dying. Well, u could be like Markus having all the philosophical and social issues shoved inside his ass for a decade by an old man while trynna remind himself he's an android while his master wants a person - is that luck or lack of luck?

INTRO TO SCRAP (3rd edition)

no i didnt copy and paste my previous intro but with dividers i like better whaat

hi im scrap aka quill (if u still call me mel out of habit its fine lol) (in the wise words of rin penrose, my pronouns are whatever is funniest for the bit.) most people on here call me some variation of scrap (scrap, scrappy, etc.) im going through a tiny identity crisis (prepare for new and more consistent branding!!)

i came to be in an ancient time in an ancient land. we didnt have to worry about stupid stuff like the government or gender back then. it was pretty chill. then a bunch of shit happened, and, somehow (i think there was some time travel happening in there idk it all sorta blurred together) i ended up here, in a land far across the ocean, where i do have to worry about the government and gender. yippee.

i think humans are generally pretty cool though! and i see how difficult it is for you in this world. thats why im on the internet. its a pretty good way to talk to people about it.

i like to write about people and about the world. i also draw sometimes even though i rarely post any art lol. i also wanna get more into making music but writing is the main thing for me

also, as an ancient being in the form of an 18 year old, im legally old enough to sue people 🔥🔥 so minors you can be here thats fine. just if you interact with me be mindful of the fact that i am no longer among your ranks 👍

this blog is cool with:

people of any race, ethnicity, culture, whatever

people of any sex or gender

lgbtq+ people (duh im one of u) (yes the whole community but the weird illegal ones dont count)

people of any religion/spiritual belief (just be chill about it)

disabled people (including neurodivergent people)

people struggling with mental health

anti genocide

anti genAI

PUNCHING NAZIS

and doing everything on main

so if you have a problem with any of that lowkey what are you doing here either go away or get educated

also if you ask me for money i will block you. if you are a hateful person who posts hateful things i will block you. if you make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe i will block you. thankfully i havent interacted with many hateful people on here. i would like to keep it that way

current hyperfixation song bc i need more people to know about my absolutely peak music taste: actually we're between songs rn but i guess i play girls & boys by blur more than once whenever it comes up

anyway now for the fun part :DDDD

The world of fiction! The place where everything in the story happens. So when you're worldbuilding there are many things to take into consideration to make the world of your story feel alive.

From the people that inhabits it, the cities, towns, villages, and locations the characters live in. And even having a set of rules to follow to avoid plot holes and help the world they live in make sense.

Much like how despite technology being more advanced compared to real life, yet still not being able to have flying cars or advanced robots. Those kind of things can sometimes break immersion in the story, and as a writer you would want to avoid that as much as possible.

HOWEVER! The world BNHA takes place in doesn't make a lick of sense when you think about it for more than thirty seconds, and the foundation of the world breaks the more you think about it.

Case in point, UA!

I think at this point we all can agree that UA wasn't an actual school and instead a glorified boot camp to train child soldiers to fight. And for a series called MY HERO ACADEMIA!! There's hardly any academia in it at all.

Apparently Hori didn't wanna bother with that part of the series and being forced to write "boring" scenes and just get back to the exciting battles. Like where're the scenes of the class studying for their latest tests? Where're the scenes of the kids doing their favorite activities? Where're the scenes of them bonding with their superiors?

WHERE'S THE FUCKING ACADEMIA PART OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES!?!?!

You can't just name it My Hero Academia and only give us 20% of what the show is called! It just feels like false advertising at this point!

Also about the whole child soldier thing? Yeah let's go deeper into that.

Why are we relying on TEENAGERS to fight in these big battles and save the world when they've only been in hero school for a single year? That's literally like forcing teenagers to discover a cure of a disease when they've only taken a year of biology class!

And yeah, I get it, it's an anime so it's expecting you to suspend your disbelief, and they already had experience with fighting villains before so it would make sense to recruit them. But again, these are fucking teenagers and we shouldn't be relying on them to fight battles the adults should be able to handle!

This is one of the biggest problems of having your story take place in a world similar to modern real life, because here adults actually gives a shit as to what children go through and knows it would be fucked up to send them to fight in war! And the excuse of it taking place in Japan and thus how they do things is different compared to most countries is NOT GOING TO CUT IT!

These grown ass adults should KNOW bringing kids to fight in a war is fucked up and should NOT be encouraged! But since they're so desperate they choose to get them involved! The only exception to this is Rock Lock since he already knows this!

Okay, let's step away from the whole child soldier thing and focus on something the story never gave us introspection of... the fact that we never got to see how quirkless people are really treated.

It's explained that 20% of the population is quirkless, so almost a quarter are born without it. And from what we saw of Izuku's life with it, discrimination must be a common thing in their society. So it would make sense to explore that since it's tied to the main character's backstory and how he's going to make things better for others like him.

... Except that's not how it goes.

We never get to see how the life of a quirkless person is like, we never get to canonically see Izuku interacting with someone like him with the only exception being Melissa. But the thing about her is that she grew up on an island and her father a respected scientist, so it's kind of difficult to tell how the quirkless life is like if this is the only example we get... and it's not a good one.

But wait! There is a canon major character that was also quirkless like Izuku! And it's Yuga Aoyama. And how did the story treated him?

Oh it was revealed real late into the story with no awareness and treated him like shit for being an unwilling traitor, then replace him with Shinsou who whined and complained his way into the Hero Course.

Uhh, what the fuck?

And the worst part about all this is that Izuku has no reaction or acknowledgement whatsoever! He doesn't sympathize or feel less alone, he doesn't comment or say anything about this! So it's like what's even the point!?

Oh don't worry, we'll come back to this whole Izuku not acknowledging his past later in the review! But there's one more thing I wanna talk about in this world.

Is how blatantly biased society is to the Heroics occupation.

From what we've seen and learned, people are not allowed to use their quirks in public. And that the only way would be able to legally use them is to have a provisional license... which is only obtained if you're training to be a hero.

Uhh, but what if you don't wanna go into heroics? What if there is a person who wants to be a comedian? A layer? A construction worker? What if they have quirks that they think would help them in their jobs? Would they get in trouble if they tried using their quirks on the job? Is the Provisional License exam the only way to be able to use your quirk freely? Is there another test people can take to get one if they don't want to go into heroics?

Yeah you see what I'm trying to say here?

Since Hori's so focused on getting to the next big battle that he barely thinks about the world BNHA takes place in and leaves holes in the process. The world of BNHA feels more like a dystopia where heroics is all that matters and that anything else is boring and not as interesting. And since the world itself is so flawed, that I don't feel immersed into it at all and all I have are these questions on how things are run.

2. who would you trust to decorate your house, dan or phil?

i feel like i would trust neither of them alone, they need to balance each other out. think i would lean more towards phil though as i love a plant and a splash of green, and i'm not a monochrome girly - no black, white or grey please. but then he would bring something obscenely outlandish and ugly without dan's input which scares me. feel like they're very much modern, japanese style, smart house vibes and i am a whimsical little goblin who wants to live in an old cottage by the forest, filled to the brim with antiques. it needs to look like a fairy lives there and they don't give that energy, yk?

3. if dnp were plants/flowers, what do you think they'd be?

this is where my complete lack of botany knowledge rears its head. this is no think, just vibe. dan = snowdrop. phil = bluebell. don't ask me why cos idfk.

4. what's you're favourite dnp fic trope?

i am only just getting into dnp fics, but i basically have completed the wolfstar tag on ao3. i like a happy ending, i'm not huge on smut, just something nice and whimsical and well written and a bit fluffy. i just read where we belong by parentaladvisorybullshitcontent on ao3 and i fucking looooved it - that's my shit, i just wish it had been longer cos i enjoyed it so much.

6. if you could gift dnp a wild animal for a pet what would you give them?

northern snow hog. or i would just domesticate steve and scraggy for them so they could have them at the phouse.

7. what's a silly dnp conspiracy you genuinely believed at one point?

that they were actually in a relationship wtf as if - gross!! (just kidding don't call me a phan denier in the comments)

9. have YOU ever nearly died?

eh probably

10. do you think you are more dan coded, phil coded or a mix of both?

i'm definitely a mix. i have daniel's depressive tendencies and philip's whimsy lol. i, too, never leave the house, but that's the borderline agoraphobia more than anything.

11. what era of dnp makes you the most nostalgic?

peak britcrew era when they worked at the bbc - my babies. makes me wanna cry.

12. what are your comfort dnp videos?

any of the relatable ones. and the pontoon experience.

14. if you had five minutes with 2009 dnp what would you tell them?

prepare yourself for a whole load of bullshit and craziness and invasion of your privacy. it's going to be so shit and so beautiful and so difficult but you'll have each other and it will all be okay in the end. and go easy on yourselves, don't try to mould yourself to anyone else's expectations.

17. favourite live moments from either younow or radio show eras?

this isn't younow or radio but when they're streaming on the gaming channel and dan so obviously checks phil out and looks him up and down and they both look at the camera - love that. also the stereos, i'm listening to them at the minute and dan's laugh warms my heart so much, they're both so giggly in them i love it.

18. favourite tour? tatinof, ii, wad or tit?

tit. i went to tatinof and can't remember it lol but the tit era is just unmatched.

19. who did you discover first, dan or phil?
