About “Izuku in Gen Ed” Chapter 15...
Yes, it’s out! Check it out first :)
1. It’s the longest one yet. Almost 10k. Yay?
2. I’m sorry for what I did to my beloved green bean. It occurred to me while writing this chapter that he was actually a freaking child. He’s fifteen, fifteen! They all are! Anyway, it’s very common to freeze where being attacked. He has proven to be a quick thinker able to get into a high-risk situation on the spot, but this is very different. I don’t know, I had more to say about it but it’s not coming to me right now, but yeah, fighting back isn’t always a natural response to a threat. “Fight or Flight” should be upgraded to “Fight, Flight or Freeze”.
3. As I’m going for now, One For All won’t be passed at all. It will consume itself and disappear or some shit like that. I can’t help it, I don’t really like that Quirk. Also I go by canon logic saying it’s the only thing that could destroy All For One cause all in all... I don’t know but OfA is shitty, compared to AfO? OfA is just... hitting really hard, and go fast, which is the kind of power I think have the list bit of interest. Whereas AfO is literally The Shit, like you can’t have it any better. The Quirk to have All Quirks. Now that I think about it we don’t know much about the process (I speculate a bit on that in my other AU, y’know, if you want to check it out) but I wonder if AfO could steal OfA...
4. I actually don’t care much for Gran Torino’s character (and in the discord popularity poll HE WON OVER SHINSO people I’m so disappointed in you). I’ll still have him in cause I have things to make him say, but yeah.
5. I really wanted Izuku to meet with Nazuka’s sister before the Stain Arc, but I kind of... forgot about it? It doesn’t fit so bad here I think but it does make that chapter a bit crowded... My bad! Also she’s named after Chihiro’s voice actress in Spirited Away and Nazuka calls her Rumichi cause that’s cute, that’s all.
6. It was an Important Moment for both her and Izuku. Quirkless people are a discriminated minority in this story, and specifically, I wrote that interaction with the LGBT minority in mind. A difference that can’t necessarily be spotted right away, with which you can blend in amongst your pair but still know they reject who you are without even knowing. Being “outed” as Quirkless would suck too, so there’s that parallel also. And Izuku and Rumi, meeting each other, feel the way you feel when you’re a young queer walking into a safe queer space for the first time...
7. I rewatched the talk Tsukauchi and All Might have at that point about All For One and all that and I was disappointed cause they don’t seem that close. So I changed it. Cause I want them to be brothers ok.
8. The more I think about it the more I truly believe Shinso has The Superior Quirk in all this shit. Like when you start thinking about Mental Quirk, all the others seem laughable. Kinda like Charles Xavier is so much more powerful than the others, no matter what raw strenght they can muster (I love him).
9. Some things happen just for the sake of plot conveniency, and that’s okay. We should make our peace with that.
10. I hope the OCs of class 1-C will feature more and more in the future. Kinda one by one, like we’ve had with Kitamura and Nazuka. I really like Nazuka. She’s a cool bean.
11. I’m reading the scans and HOLY SHIt. I’m not one for theories so I’m not invested in the reveal we may or may not get in the upcoming chapters, but I’m still excited as fuck. Also I like Endeavor as a character, and I find the topic of abusive families trying to repair some things fascinating.
12. Still no beta and still not a native speaker... Please point out mistakes.
I think that’s it, unless I remember something else. Let’s talk about it if you want!
