KAI: It would have been p neat if my scheduling placed you yesterday, but anyway !!  I’m here to gush about you !   I was happy that you followed me back there too bc I thought you seemed really nice & I really do enjoy you on my dash. You’re probably the only person I know who pours so much love & analysis into their muses in the tags of reblogs. It’s something I really liked to read & I wasn’t kidding about knowing the time from when your queue posted those lmao. I actually looked forward to reading them. It’s really funny to me, in hindsight, that I had no idea you were the same Kai who ran kaizerflames lol. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize tbqh. I 100% was vaguing about you when I put that post about realizing you’re following two blogs from the same person without realizing it LOL. You honestly had to reblog the same meme about one after the other with tags saying rebagel for me to put the pieces together omg. Icb, your icon style & formatting are carried over on your accs too. AHHHH. I remember thinking kaizerflames seemed really nice ( & I was so excited to get followed back bc I love fma tons ) & really cute, but I never realized I knew you already; idr how I found that blog, but I did look at the writing & portrayal & rules before following. And I’m really glad you got into bnha bc that basically brought our og group of the cliché together. I was thankful that you joined the server since I really wanted an excuse to get to know you tbqh. You always seemed so nice ( in comments ) & I get really diffident about ever trying to say hi first. I’m really happy we could become friends bc I sincerely enjoy your presence in the gc whenever you find the time to drop by. Now, onward to what I like about you ! 

As aforementioned, you seemed really nice & I was right, you are. Even if we tease each other & play fight & I jokingly call you a bully, I think you’re really nice. You never say shut up do you ?  I think you only ever say hush. It’s pretty subtle, but I find that pretty sweet tbh. You’ve been really good to me & to others in the chat / dash & I really like that about you. You’re pretty polite & there’s honestly something very cute in the way you speak. I’m sorry if that’s embarrassing, but I just personally find you very endearing & charming. I also find it very endearing how unknown certain memes & slang may be to you, BUT KAI, DON’T LIE TO ME & SAY YOU ARE JOKING BC I WILL 100% BELIEVE YOU GFDBSHN. I haven’t ever felt mistrust towards you, so I will believe you wholeheartedly fhdchd; but I might be more skeptical of you now since I’m onto you Kai >.> . I also really like your sense of humor. You have some ugly taste in memes lmaooooo. I love it though bc you never fail to make me laugh. You’re so playful & ready to pick fights but it’s always so much fun with you. I really get so excited whenever you jump in the chat bc it’s always so much fun to have you there, but don’t feel pressured about being around often – school is more important. That’s another thing.. I really admire how good you are at staying out of the chat & focusing on school bc I struggle w/ it tbqh lmao. I also think it’s super cool you are premed !!  I get p excited about finding science ppl on tumblr ( even tho I’m surrounded by science ppl irl … ) & premed is tough, so keep working hard Kai !  You can do it !!  I’m sorry it can be so stressful, but I hope you still get to rest well / eat healthy / stay hydrated. I hope you’ll be a lot less stressed when your semester ends too & I hope you’ll have a successful time at school. I believe in YOU ( not ^-^ regfdsn ). And remember that if you ever need to vent about school or anything, you have us in the chat & now that I officially have you on di.scord, I don’t mind listening anytime !  I care a lot about you Kai. You are my friend. I respect & adore you. I love you ! 

I think you’re such a talented writer & so good at your portrayals !  I’m such a big fan & supporter of yours Kai. However, those kinda words may sound empty, without a sound argument.

 It’s funny bc I was really curious to see you portray someone like All Might & wow, I was amazed. This next excerpt ( well, basically entire starter ) was no written for me, but it was one the earliest pieces I saw you write that got me really excited for your AM: 

❛  I  AM  HERE  –––––––––––     ❜  He  leaps  into  a  sitting  position  across  the  room  to  land  right  where  he  wants  to  ,  quickly  placing  two  lunches  to  the  side  to  free  his  hands  that  spread  over  his  knees  as  he  hunches  over  the  bright  yellow  sleeping  bag  in  the  corner.   ❛   TO  EAT  LUNCH  WITH  YOU  ,  AIZAWA-KUN !!  ❜  His  hulking  figure moves  side  to  side  as  he  nudges  himself  just  a  little  bit  closer.  His  colleague  needs  to  take  better  care  of  himself  so  he’s  TAKEN  UP  the  challenge  to  do  so  himself.   

THIS JUST SCREAMS AM IMO FBDHNSJ. I laughed when I read this bc AM can be so extra that it can be pretty goofy & that’s portrayed here so so well. Him yelling his line “I AM HERE” and then finishing it off with something as simple as to eat lunch with his colleague rfhdjs. Omg. I love it !  And then his action of scooting closer to Aizawa & his caring nature ( but also the way he views it as a challenge ) are other additions I love so much about this starter. It’s so good Kai. You really got AM down in this. I can hear his voice & I gotta reply to your starter as soon as I can rfbhdenjs ( icb it’s been 3 months already omg ). I also really enjoy all your hcs & metas sm. You put so much thought into making coherent analysis of your muses & I admire that a lot. To end this off, I think you’re a talented writer & rper. I admire you for your skills & for who you are as a person. I like you a lot & I’m happy to call you a friend. I hope to continue to get to know you & talk to you as time passes on. I hope to see you more on the dash as well & that your stressed from school ease soon. Good luck with classes & thank you for being so good to me & others. Thank you for trying to keep up by rereading old messages ( you don’t have to, but I find it v sweet ) & stopping by whenever you can. I love you, Kai ! 

KOALA: You know, I think you added me on disc.ord pretty soon after we became mutuals ?  It was a bit surprising & DAMNIT KOALA, I SAID TO LMK IF YOU WERE ADDING ME & YOU DIDN’T FDHNJS. Your pen name was the same as your user though, so I was able to figure it out, but thank you for adding me. I’m really glad we got to talking & memeing w/ each other hfdjsmk. Gosh, some of our edits belong in hell lmao. I honestly found it a bit funny when you said I made you feel welcomed in the fandom bc I was pretty new still & I didn’t think I said anything particularly impactful; however, I’m happy I made you feel that way bc you deserve to feel accepted & loved. 

You’re really sweet & I find it v cute how hard you worked at maintaining a convo ( I’M SO SORRY I WAS BEING CRAP AT IT, SCHOOL JUST REALLY MAKES IT HARD FOR ME & I would get distracted with the cliché when it was smaller ). It was nice to know you wanted to talk to me bc I did like talking to you. You actually laugh at some of the silliest things I may say & do & that just makes my heart swell grfdhnj. Also, I really really like hearing you laugh on vc. Your laugh is so cute & contagious. You laugh so easily & it’s the best thing ever. I’m glad Tessa added you to the cliché ( when I said NO when you joined it was 100% bc of the miriopocalypse – #neverforget – & not bc I didn’t want you there ) bc it’s been fun to have you. Wait, but seriously, miriopocalypse will be something I never forget bc it was so much fun. I blocked so many ppl hfrdjns. I had so much fun & I have you to thank for that. Anyway, tbh, I wondered if you would end up joining us when Tessa told us you added her on di.scord; I was hoping you guys would get along. Also, you say some of the funniest things & bless that you can also be there to educate Gi for me about sexual terms RHFDSNJ. You also have this cute manner of speaking that I really like. You’re very cute & endearing & I find myself smiling a lot when you’re around. It’s a bit sad that you haven’t been around as often recently, but I know that work is p stressful for you right now. I really hope things work out for you soon bc you shouldn’t have to feel so stressed & disrespected at your workplace – esp. one you actually like. Remember that if you ever need to vent tho, you can do so anytime !  Whether it’s in the gc or you wanna talk privately, I’m here to support you bc you’re my friend & I value you. I want you to be happy & laughing. There’s also a sincerity to you that I find v endearing. You’re v sweet & I love you lots. I care about you. You’re a good person & you’re so interesting & fun. I adore you. You’re also a talented as heck writer Koala. You have too many blogs for me to go through them all, but I’m going to go through some of them & point out things I like – starting with lavapact lol. I don’t know anything about the muse or series, but I remember seeing this starter on my dash & I really liked it:

surprise catches her unaware, the ram’s head snapping toward the brusque sound of a trill she’d yet learned. brows arch high in uncertainty —- confusion, before settling hard and pinched in silent agitation. “what—–?”  had she stepped in something——stepped on him in her haste? ava pauses head tilting, hair cascading over a shoulder upon a quickened examination of the blond. no?  

The descriptive language here is really pretty & easy to follow. There’s a good flow & I feel like I can imagine the expression well. You also portray her confusion really well here through your narration & I thoroughly enjoy this. Now, to your todo ( rip ): 

it’s only when the silence permeating from him turned a bit deafening, even to his own ears does he look up to see her exhaustion-swollen face. /  but —- he hadn’t gotten her anything in return, and that makes the candy sit a little heavier in his stomach. so, he reaches out across the desk to grab her wrist before she’s managed to walk off. “thank you, uraraka.” a pause, and he’s holding the box out to her, so that her kitten hands can pluck a candy out for herself. “i didn’t think to get you anything.” — or well, any of his classmates for that matter. “—and i can’t eat all of them myself, can we share them instead?” 

The first line is really pretty imo. I love when something that isn’t sentient is described as if it has living characteristics – like it feels like the silence is moving – & you use the opposite of the word to describe it. Defeaning. It’s brilliant !  I love that technique & there’s so much power in this one line alone. I also really loved the last paragraph bc you show how caring & thoughtful he is ( & also kinda awkward & practical ). You capture his voice really well here. Now for AM, this next excerpt is so good that I don’t need to comment on it – it speaks for itself:

JKJK. Rebhdnjs. Just teasing, okay, but for real now:    

  “——that won’t be necessary.” there’s a breath of a second as the                                older blonde clears his throat with a wet cough or two. “togata, my                                boy. i assure you i am perfectly well!” 

My favorite thing about your AM portrayal is def the dialogue. There’s a bit of a formality when he speaks when he is serious & idk, the words you use feel true to canon AM. I also really like that you can see his caring nature here when he is trying to reassure mirio. Also.. you need to write more on AM jfc hbfdnjs. I think you do have his voice down well, so if you still got muse & find the time, you should stop by some more on him !  Also, Koala, you’re super talented at making graphics & themes. They always come out so nice & I really am so grateful for that group promo you made us. It was super cool & you’re super sweet. You always want to do things for your friends. You have such a loving & giving heart. I really love that about you. Just know, that you don’t ever have to bribe me though. I like you for who you are, Koala. 

The world is a better place when he stays.  Morale is higher and crime is lower.  The two exceptions are Deku, who had gotten himself killed trying to save someone from an oncoming car.  Without the quirk, he didn’t make it.  The other exception was the pinkette, who had all but forgotten the man who saved her and brought her up.  She smiled less and less each day -- the mischievous playfulness that adorned her like a halo soured into something angry.  She was always angry because she didn’t understand why -- she was doing fine by herself for the last 7 years, why did she always feel lonely now?  Sometimes, certain things made her heart ache something awful. Unaware of the teacher who was following her, she left school when the bell rang and started walking home.  when she gets to the intersection, she stops.  somehow, the houses on the right looked more familiar, but her home was in the other direction.  she takes a step to the right, then shakes her head.  No, her house was in the other direction, what was she thinking? 

“I’m back.”  the lady at the stove looks up to smile at her, but she doesn’t see it.  Jinx puts her shoes away and goes to her room, a cramped space littered with papers and clothes.  it was all she could afford from her meager pay working in the school cafeteria.  which was strange, because she could barely cook.  why did she apply for that job?  she looks blearily at her homework -- it only takes her a few minutes to finish what she didn’t do in class.  puts her books away methodically.  showers.  curls up on the old futon, ignores the lady when she offers dinner from behind the door.  she didn’t pay for meals, and in any case, she didn’t think she could stomach anything.  somehow, she feels as if she is disappointing someone, and it bothers her enough to eat an old apple at the bottom of her backpack.  she finishes it and crawls back into bed, shivering slightly from the cold.  it’s never been this cold, has it?  where ... where did she live before this?  eraserhead was her legal guardian, but she doesn’t recall living with him.  she tries to remember, but her head hurts too much.  the pinkette eventually drifts off into an uneasy sleep, unaware of the man that comes in to tuck the child in and puts extra change in her purse, just small enough so she wouldn’t notice.  

“I won’t hurt you, child.”  he calls out to her, and she hisses back.  eyes glowing pink in warning, she activates her quirk and sends a experimental jab of lightning at him.  it bounces off his chest harmlessly, and she pales.  the fear is almost dizzying now as her fingertips scrabble at the wall.

he moves towards his right and she automatically shifts, keeping the same distance between them.  only when they move a few steps does she realize he’s letting her move towards the door.  as the two sidestepped around the room, her fear and adrenaline wanes into confusion. what was this man doing?  she’s only a few feet away from the doorway now, but -- where would she go?  There was nowhere to go.  she drops her arms and stares at the man, as if hoping he could give her the answers she searched for.  takes a step forward, opens her mouth to ask who he was -- 

footsteps run up behind her -- heroes clad in bright colors and she snarls.  doesn’t get a chance to activate her quirk before something hit the back of her head, hard.  the ground rushes up towards her.

when she wakes up, she sees the man once more.  This time, instead of leaping into battle formation, she nearly tumbles off the bed.  someone had swaddled her in blankets and they twisted around her legs.  a strong pair of arms catch her, and she curls back into the headboard, watching him warily.

he explains, in his loud voice and ridiculously big smile, that she would be living with him until they can find her parents.  until they do, since children had to attend school, she would be studying at some stuck up school for heroes.  jinx stares at him, waiting for him to finish his stupid speech before biting out harshly “My parents aren’t looking for me.”

his smile falls, and she almost feels guilty.  almost.  

“Why not?”

“My quirk.  Doesn’t resemble either of my parents.”  she watches as his eyes flash from concern to understanding, and then to anger.  

“That happens.  It doesn’t mean anything.”

“Yeah, well tell that to the asshole.”  

she shouldn’t have told him, because she finds out later that he also signed her up for therapy sessions.  she’s never wanted to hex someone so bad, with their kind words and false sympathy.  and her classmates.  her classmates were so fucking annoying.  “Your dad is Allmight?  That’s so cool!  Say, can I come over sometime?”  so apparently the blond guy was some sort of hotshot.  wonderful.  she grimaces at her classmates and by the end of the first day, she’s shaking with irritation and ready to give Allmight a piece of her mind. 

instead, she finds him choking on a mouthful of his own blood, looking like death had taken him away for 100 years.  if not for the clothes he wore, she would have been sure it was an imposter.  It was probably seeing him then, as she wiped the blood off his chin and ducked away from his offered hug (”MY GIRL,  HOW WAS SCHOOL?”), that she decided to stay. somehow, seeing him so grievously injured and yet, the man woke her up with a smile and breakfast everyday.  got her new clothes and tucked her in even if she insisted she didn’t want him to.  it was ... it was irritating, of course, but kind.  and that wasn’t so bad.  with a frown, she finds a glass (she had to step precariously on a chair to reach the shelves, much to his unnecessary worry) and fills it with water, offering it to Allmight without looking at him.
