Kinda of a continuation of this

I don't believe she has a Tumblr but she posted it on her TikTok (which you should go follow right now)

Soft

- Rin had his gay awakening when meeting the blond like "woah Japanese people are HANDSOME"

- then he learns that Monoma's Belgian and wonders where Europe has been all his life

- But he just arrived here so he tells himself to forget about it because he has to focus on studies and becoming a hero

- Monoma is very impressed on how serious Rin is capable of being, seems like he doesn't do anything else than work. Kinda worried about him not living his life, while Rin wonders how the blond manages to have good grades without working as much

- cold blooded dragon is warmed up by his boyfriend's cuddles and big sweaters

- Monoma tries to learn Chinese (Mandarin dialect) and Rin tries to learn French. They both have terrible accents and find the other's accent so cute

- when stressed out, Rin just naturally switches to panicked Chinese rambling. Monoma doesn't understand but it's ok, and whenever he forgets a word he's here to help out and give translations

- late night study sessions; reciting their lessons while cuddling somewhere warm and drinking tea. Monoma learns Rin's way of preparing traditional tea in traditional pretty cups so he can repeat it whenever the other is too tired or sick or whatever

- they cook stuff together, feeding their seventeen kids and one big sister. Strange improvised recipes but they're always surprisingly tasty

- Monoma tries to teach Rin how to dance. It doesn't go very well. Rin perseveres because he wants to be able to dance well with his boyfriend and is slowly making progress... He respects Monoma for being able to dance so well ((-he's done ballet in his childhood so it's no surprise))

- Rin is tired because of one very extra boy. Monoma tries to watch his weird mood swings because deep down he's scared that the Chinese boy will give up on him one day

- After failing his exam and then not being able to do anything during the training camp attack, Monoma decides to leave UA because after all people were right; he'll never become a hero. He doesn't talk to anybody about it, because his class is in the hospital and he gotta take care of them. Then he hooks up with Rin and... the thought stays in a dark corner of his mind

- ((let's admit it he could never leave Rin alone like that))

- Rin lets Monoma copy his quirk whenever he wishes, in whatever situation. Chinese boy is super ripped, Belgian fry loves it though he does feel pretty lanky next to him.

- hero costumes ? "Pretty vampire spirit baby... So sad I can't see your entire face."/"You planning on becoming Arsene Lupin 2.0 ?"

There's a soft call that echoes out from the pitch black where you assume the forest would be. 

"I-I'll be fine! I am stuffed wif tough stuff! No worry Shoko-chan! N...no worries! Just stay inside!" 

"Dat's all still a blur to me. All I know is I'm not where I should be... don't fink so, at least. This frown is definitely not right... not right at all... fwoooo..." 

"But dat's okay! At least I still have swishy cloud tail! Swish, swish! Swish, swish!" 

The news that one of the paths of the crossroads had opened was shocking, considering everything that had happened over the last few days. So, as soon as the trial was over, two students decided to make it their responsibility to go check out the newly opened area.

It was a rather unlikely duo that first made their way down the slightly beaten path of the first opened crossroads. It was strange. Just the night earlier this path was marked on your map as unpassable, and almost certain death should anyone try to traverse down it. But now, it seemed peaceful, tranquil, the quiet sound of songbirds chirping in the early dawn hours creating an entirely different atmosphere. The Lampworker and the Starcraft Player couldn’t help but shoot unsure glances at each other. Surely there had to be some sort of explanation?

“Fwhoooo…”

That noise… that wasn’t just the wind. Shoko glanced back at Seung-san skeptically, the only other person on the trail. They hadn’t spoken at all since they met up at the mouth of the path (barring two lines of dialogue regarding an event that hadn’t happened in her mind). Was he bored with the continuous foliage and decided to spice things up?

“That wasn’t me, stop looking at me like that.”

Seung's tone was unamused as normal, dark-red eyes sliding over to look at the other for a few brief moments in disbelief. Him? Doing that? Please, if he wanted to meme on someone, he’d do it the better way. Plus, what kind of person even makes that sound to unnerve someone? Probably someone on the other side of the wall would do that.

“Fwwhooo-oo-oo…!!”

Unless he had a hidden penchant for ventriloquism, that noise certainly didn’t come from the hoodied boy in front of her. Shoko stopped walking for a few seconds, shoulders tense, before moving forward again. The map said it was cleared for safety, it was… it was probably a harmless animal. (And a moving target was better than a sitting duck.)

Upon hearing that sound once more, Seung turns his head over to look at Shoko this time, raising an eyebrow with a slightly concerned expression on his face for a brief moment, before looking over at the opposite direction. He couldn’t quite pinpoint where the sound of coming from at least, but it certainly wasn’t coming from lamp girl over at the side. It somewhat irked him, a little bit of anxiety arising within him at it. What was going on? Was some kind of...monster going to lash out at them? That would be frightening t-

“FWHOOOO LOOK OUT, FRIENDS!”

The two kids suddenly jump back as the canopy of the trees shakes above them, and a sudden blur of color falls out from the branches, landing with a soft “Fuh!” on the ground below.

“Oh golly! Dat was not the entrance I was hoping for! How terribly klutzy of me! I could have fallen on you and injured your crowns with my plush tootsie!! Fwhooooo… I guess I’m not used to dis strange body yet… I miss my flower…”

Lowering her arms from her face, she blinked at the new addition to their party. If only there was a way to physically pronounce question marks, but Shoko was left staring at— at whatever this was, eyebrows furrowed and mouth open in a silent plea for information. It certainly wasn’t an wendigo, or a tatzelwurm, or a jackalope or a— she didn’t recognize this animal at all. And it was talking. It was talking to them. (Something about bodies? Something about flowers?) It seemed harmless but her hand twitched to the front pocket of Rover’s backpack, the flashlight she had stored there weighing heavily on her back and mind.

 “P-PEACH TIME!”

He screeches into the air, a hiss accompanying the end of that blurted out meme. Of all things to happen to him, this is what he’ll have to deal with, some kind of monster with some kind of british sounding slang incorporated into their speech. Fantastic! He could feel his hair stand up at the sight of whatever this thing was, his hands balled up into fists to suppress himself from going ahead and scream some more. Eventually he calms down in no time, but he continues to stare blankly at the newfound creature, head tilted slightly to the side.

  “Hwuah? What is it? Do I have somefin in my beard? My mane?...oh! I know what it is! You all noticed my tail, didn’t you? Fwhehehehe! It’s very nice, isn’t it? So fluffy! So cooshy! So...so swishy! Swish, swish! Swish, swish!!” The stuffed animal wags it's tail gleefully.

“...Ha ha, I can’t believe I got memed on! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! But all jokes and meme references aside, what the hell…? Nice tail and all, but...what are you? What’s your name? Why are you here?”

  “...woooooooah. You know, you have very pretty eyes. Has anyone ever told you that before? If not, people should! Dey are very nice eyes! Two-of-a-kind! And you made dem yourself! You should be very proud!”

  “Eh… ah, excuse me? Seung-san’s eyes aside, wha— who are you? Are you allied with, are you from the same place as him, what do you, what do you know about this place?”

“Hwuah! Dat’s right! Dat’s right! I had a whole speech planned out for this!…oh golly, what was me going to say? Fwoo…. DO NOT BE AFRAID, FRIENDLY HUMANS! I AM NOT HERE TO HURT!... fwooo…

"Oh! My name is Monorin! And I am here to help! Remember dat nasty kitty dat was down dis way before? Well… dey turned out to be a big SCAREDY CAT! Fwehehehe! Dey gone now!”

  “...Can I touch your tail then. It...looks purrety soft. Also, nasty kitty? Um? I’m almost slightly offended by that if it’s referrin’ to me? Ha ha ha, I joke. But are ya referrin’ to a monster in this place?”

"Fwehehehe! Of course you can touch my tail! But ah--!! Now may not be the best time! I was talking about the tatzl...zuzu...taze me...long cat!" 

“Uhmmmmm… but you haven’t seen that big ol’ meanie bear with the scary red eye that stares right frough my stuffing around anywhere, have you? I have been trying to stay hidden from him… he scares the jeepers out of me! Makes my hooves shiver and shake…”

  “No he’s… we just had a trial so he’s probably taking care of the remains of, the remains of...”

“Phew! Dat’s a relief! I don’t have the power to stand up to him yet!... o-or ever, fwehehe… uhm!! But that still doesn’t mean I am not going to do everyfing I can to help you, friends! I may be tiny and adorable and super nice to cuddle, but dat doesn’t mean I can’t get down to business! I can be absolutely terrifying when me want to be! I promise! You can ask the long cat! Dey know! Dey saw the FIRE! Fwehehe! Uhm, ah, I can’t...stay in one place for too long. Don’t want to stir trouble with the bad bear before I should! But!! Friends can still get a hold of me! Just press the little button with the bad bear’s face on it while you’re outside, and I will be able to intercept! I can answer questions, help you with fings, have a tea party with you, stargaze, walk along the beach, have you pet my tail… anyfing!”

There’s a sudden rustling in the bushes, and Monorin jumps.

“HWUAAAH. IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU FRIENDS BUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR ME TO GO, I’LL TALK WITH YOU SOON! AND PLEASE STOP HURTING EACH OTHER! IT’S NOT FRIENDLLLLLLY!”

With that, Monorin turns around in a hurry, and scrambles away into the brush.
