“Don’t flirt with death cause it will kiss back.” for the fic title.

Ah awesome, thank you so much! From this post!! ❤ 

Okie doke, since you didn’t specify people/fandom I’m gonna guess BNHA and MomoJirou? I hope you like it!

“Don’t Flirt With Death Cause It Will Kiss Back”

Momo has always been a good witch, in terms of both competency and humour. She receives nothing but praise at the academy for her skills and her virtue: her aptitude in conjuration is especially remarkable. She can pull objects out of thin air as easily as breathing, when such spells would leave other magic-users drained for days.

There is, however, a problem.

See, Momo can’t conjure living things. She can’t conjure creatures at all, for two reasons. First: she seems to have some kind of magical block. It is a source of constant embarrassment and annoyance to her that even when she tries to cast the very, very simple spell to conjure her familiar, all she gets is a dead raven. That leads rather neatly into the second problem: Momo can only conjure dead things, and conjuring dead things is necromancy, and necromancy is very much not the sort of the thing that Good Girls do. 

But that’s not enough for Yaoyorozu Momo. Because she’s clever, and she’s powerful, and she’s powerfully curious and there has to be a reason that all she can bring out of the Other Place is dead things, right? There has to be a cause?

With all the guilt and pent up tension of a girl who’s spent far too long behaving, Momo starts going on late night study sessions, creeping into forbidden parts of the library and learning more and more about necromancy. It turns out that she’s an even better necromancer than she is a conjurer, and Momo is one of the most gifted conjurers in the land.

So one day, Momo finds herself in a graveyard, giving herself a continuous mental lecture that sounds oddly like her best friend, Shouto. It’s the middle of the night, and it’s cold. She finds a tree, an old tree: a Yew standing at the corner of plot. Nervously, she pulls candles out of her satchel, and draws a pentacle in the dirt.

Yaoyorozu Momo conjures her Familiar.

There’s a shiver in the air, the whole fabric of reality ripples, just for a moment. And then, casual as anything, a young woman steps out of nothing into the pentacle. She’s got short black hair and dark eyes and pale skin. Her lips are painted black, as are her nails. She smirks at Momo.

Then she steps forward, and breaks the pentacle, and kisses her. 

“Took you long enough.”

:( I have to work 12 hr days for an indefinite period of time but at least five days a week now I’m falling so far behind I don’t even have the time to watch a full episode of cr a day I can’t wait to go through your posts about it it’s been fun also I love that you tag the specific campaign and episode everything is from makes it super easy to specify the filters on here

Aw dude that sucks ❤ But also I’m happy tagging is working and I hope you have a long, glorious and self indulgent binge when you can. They’re good people. Take care!! ❤ 

Marzipan, O Captain, My Captain, Serenade, and Zärtlichkeit for Happy Asks.

All the asks, thank you! ❤ ❤ ❤ From this post! ^_^

Marzipan  Tell us about something you like, even though many people don’t.

I love reading the dictionary!!! I have been told repeatedly that this is boring, but it’s not. Like you obviously don’t read start to finish, but you can just flip a dictionary open and then skip the words you know and learn a whole bunch of new things that you didn’t even know there were words for! It’s the best!

Also, I really like rogue-like survival games. It’s kiiiind of a love-hate relationship, but I get very obsessed. Right now I’m playing one I adore called the Flame in the Flood, which is kinda glitchy, but I still love it very much.

O Captain, My Captain  Is there any scene in a movie or book bursting of such grandness you could cry?

Yes!!! Oh man so many. The whole ending of the Infernal Devices quartet by Philip Reeve. Essentially the entire book that is Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien. Sonmi-351′s speech in Cloud Atlas.

Actually this trailer for Cloud Atlas always makes me cry:

Serenade  Tell us about a rather unknown musician you love listening to.

I really like Jason Webley!! Jason Webley and Little Comets, I think they’re not super well known. I especially love Pyramid by Jason Webley, mostly cos of Welcome to Night Vale.

Zärtlichkeit  Name a word you love, from a foreign language.

Oof, I’m gonna cheat and do a few because I love them all far too much.

Glas – Welsh, can mean the blue of the sky, the green of the grass, the grey of the cliffs or the colour of the sea. Kind of archaic now, but in Medieval Welsh it meant all those things.

Uhtceare – Old English, the worries that run through you mind in the grey light before the dawn. Uht refers to that specific time of day, and ceare is for worries or cares.

Kintsukuroi – I think a lot of people know this one, but Japanese – referring to an artistic method of repairing broken ceramics with gold or silver glaze. The idea suggests that something becomes more beautiful for having been broken.

Komorebi – Japanese. A word for the sunlight through leaves in the trees.

Thank you again for these! ❤ I loved them.

for the headcanon thing: todoroki

awesome sauce thank you!!!!! From this post 😀

Headcanon A: what I think realistically

Shouto isn’t dense, he’s quiet and dealing with trauma. If I was gonna put him in a slightly more realistic world than superpower shounen (not that this world isn’t awesome) he’s functioning pretty well all things considered. But honestly, rich celebrity overachiever? I don’t really buy the idea that he’s so totally socially awkward/dense that he doesn’t understand how people work. I feel like what actually happens is that Shouto bites his tongue/controls his reactions, and sasses when he thinks he can get away with it. I think he’s holding a lot of things in, and it’s difficult to manage. But yeah, I also think that whilst he might not know the latest memes, he’s going to have had at the very least media training/ a nauseating amount of fancy parties to attend, so he has to know how to hold a conversation.

(Heads up, because this is about Shouto, this post will contain references to abuse)

Headcanon B: what I think is fucking hilarious

Shouto knows how to hold himself, but his boundaries are way off the mark. So he takes things that aren’t serious way too seriously, and considers things that are very serious to not be serious at all. I think this is more fun if he deliberately messes with people (especially Bakugou and Jirou) but I also think sometimes stuff just flies over his head. This leads to a series of increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings and, as Shouto grows and escapes his abusive household, turns into an in joke. So these days, when he’s free and safe and recovering, he’ll look at Iida and Deku, barely containing a smile, and explain that he’s a ‘hand-crusher’. Bonus points for Shouto doing this with paparazzi/media, and his 1A friends just cracking up whilst Shouto looks the reporter dead in the eye with an absolutely straight face and just says the most ludicrous bs. “No, I haven’t heard of Pepe the Frog. Are they another hero? Do they work in this area?” Etc

C: what is heart-crushing and awful but fun to inflict on friends

Part of Shouto’s awkwardness comes from a combination of abuse and triggers. Sometimes he shuts down because he’s triggered, and reacts disproportionately according to the trigger. There’s a specific thing some abusers do that’s along the gaslighting spectrum, and I wouldn’t put it past Enji: where they essentially force their victims to control their expressions/not flinch/run away/fight back etc. Which is awful. I imagine that sometimes when Shouto shuts down it’s just retreating into that shell, and sometimes it takes him a long time to come back out. Personally, I hc that the reason Shouto was so rude to Inasa at the UA entrance exam was because of something like this.

#option D: what would never work with canon but the canon is shit so I believe it anyway

LITERALLY ANY OF THE ADULTS WHO WORK WITH VICTIMS OF TRAUMA NOTICES THAT SHOUTO IS SEVERELY TRAUMATISED AND WORK TO GET HIM OUT OF THE DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH HE LIVES.

This particular thing continues to drive me insane. I know it’s shounen, so you know, we won’t get it. But if these people can recognise that Eri was abused then they can recognise that Shouto is. It’s vitally important that he not stay in that goddamn house, and it makes no sense to me that none of the professional heroes have noticed the issues this teenager is going through. Considering their line of work, and the whole working with victims thing, and the fact that teenagers aren’t adults and they aren’t as good at hiding secrets? Idk it feels like saying yes there is a school full of competent social workers spending significant amounts of contact time with a severely traumatised kid experiencing regular physical abuse. But none of them notice? Nah. Nope. Absolutely not. 

The UA staff notice. Shouto gets out. Enji quietly retires and literally any other professional hero takes his place.
