BEGGING for more unknowable storyboards of past chapters!!!

they're almost all more detailed than color-coded ovals, but I do have a documentable bias towards putting way more sauce on Storyboard Kendal than I do on anyone else

"No," said the chiseled demigod as he prepared to stab the ninja driving a car with a pool cue

I just realized that Shigaraki at the USJ had also a secret goal: kidnap Aizawa for the doctor.

That Eggman wannabe had been after Erasure for years, after all.

I feel like if that was the case, they wouldn't have done so much damage to his face. And also should've tried to abduct him literally even one other time after Garvey.

Team AFO are so bad at this

Shigaraki didn't even know Eraserhead would be there, only All Might and Thirteen were on the schedule

It's still wild to me that All For One held a century-long grudge over Kudou telling him something that he already knew. Like, Bakugou's face sent him into a mental breakdown. Buddy. You already had Yoichi's severed hand. You knew you killed him.

I think it's more that, in his mind, he thinks if Kudou hadn't saved Yoichi, then he wouldn't have killed him. It's the one crime he refuses to take responsibility for.

Epithet Erased Idea I've had for a while:

An epithet encompasses not just the base word, but all derivatives therein (so, "burn" and "burning" are not separate epithets)

"Dummy" is a derivative of "dumb", meaning, "a person who is dumb"

But dummy also has connotations of imitation, like a crash test dummy, or "dummied up" being slang for forgery

You see where I'm going with this? AU where Lori taught Molly how to control puppets and create illusions

Been seeing posts about the latest SxF chapter, about Anya's birth mother, about the relationship between Yor and Anya, about Yor's mental image of Anya's mother, and it got me thinking, what if Yor was the first person to discover Anya's powers? People usually focus on Twilight discovering her powers, because he would have the most feelings™ about it, but let's be honest, Twilight just isn't in the headspace to handle that information yet. But Yor, while she'd obviously be freaked out, her love of Anya comes before all else, so I think she'd be able to adapt to her new reality without it hurting her relationship with Anya.

Consider: Thorn Princess gets sent to kill some people who worked on project apple, and she knocks over some files and sees a picture of little baby Anya. And there's a file on Anya's mother too, but it's all so heavily redacted that she can't work out anything other than the fact that they were test subjects, and she can't ask the project apple guys cause she just killed them all. So now Yor, who has no intelligence gathering skills whatsoever, has to investigate this all on her own without tipping off Loid or Garden.

Maybe Yor's mind cooks up a story about Dr. Loid Forger, a scientist working on project apple, falling in love with a test subject and having a child with her, and that woman sacrificing herself so their daughter could have a normal, happy childhood. And this all just further lionizes Loid and Anya's mother in Yor's mind, making her feel more inadequate.

Maybe Yor learns everything, and ends up knowing more about Anya's mother than Loid or even Anya herself does. And Anya's powers become a special little secret shared between mother and daughter, the way Anya and Loid have shared the secret of Anya's adoption all this time. (I have this image of Yor purposefully thinking of silly things to amuse Anya, and Loid from the outside ruminating on how the two have grown so close that Yor can make Anya laugh with just a smile.)

It would also test Yor's relationship with Loid. So far, Yor has more or less trusted Loid completely, barring some concerns about her place in the family. She's never had any reason to suspect that Loid wasn't who he says he is, but no matter what, she's not going to find any link between Dr. Forger and project apple, because Dr. Forger didn't exist until recently. And whatever story Anya feeds her to fill in the gaps will have to be vague enough to avoid revealing anything about agent Twilight or the mission, make papa look as good as possible so mama doesn't want to kill him, and also make clear that Loid doesn't know about Anya's past or powers so that Yor doesn't end up revealing the truth to him accidentally. Yor would have to grapple with the fact that Loid has been lying to her from the start, and she doesn't know what his real motivations are, and she just has to trust him anyways, because Anya trusts him, and she'd know better than anyone who to trust, right?
