KACEEEEEEEY

I JUST CAME FROM THE LAST CHAPTER OF MAN IN THE MIRROR AND UGHHH I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT PLEASEEEEEEEEE

Sooo, to get in the mood more I’ve been listing to the playlist religiously, how did you came up with the songs for the story? It’s there a particular moment where you were writing and felt that THIS song would be perfect for that? How much does the playlist add to the creative and emotional journey of the fic?

PLEASEEE I NEED YOU TO YAP ABOUT THIS WITH ME IM CLAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE HERE

You have created such a beautiful story with one of the greatest character study and development I’ve ever seen in such a long while ❤️🥹❤️

I’m so thankful I have had the joy of being part of it since it was starting, god knows that chapter 7 was the moment I knew I would be obsessed for life.

Thank you so much for this and for all your hard work❤️❤️

HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!! IM ALWAYS OPEN TO YAP!!!!!

with the music, honestly i feel like a big part of it is i relate to both katsuki in a lot of ways so a lot of the songs are ones i listen to regularly and personally connect with so it makes the emotions flow really easily

theres def some moments where songs really help me get into katsuki’s head, like specifically NOT OK by 5 seconds of summer and sympathy is a knife by charli xcx were practically on repeat during chapter 6 (aka dk vs kacchan pt2 🚬🚬). there’s also something about katsuki with high energy songs with good vocals and emotional meanings like those two that really hit. also good old rock songs will always work with him thematically and also fit well into his own music taste, like muse, radiohead, paramore, metallica, etc

ive been meaning to restructure the playlist itself and shuffle it around to better reflect the trajectory of the story, and ive kinda noticed that a lot the songs start off as pretty loud and explosive and almost shouty and then as it progressed they get a bit softer and more introspective (which i totally didn’t plan and doesn’t exactlyyyy fit but i digress)

also enter sandman by metallica during the izuku rescue scene… inject it

overall i love connecting different types of art and there’s so many songs to show the different aspects of bkdk and how much they grow that it’s just so fun and special to be able to bring those things together.

ANYWAY THAT WAS A YAP. but tysm for this question!!!!!!! i love love love music and its a huge part of my writing process so i love implementing it into my stories and im so glad you do too!!!!!!! thank you again for your always sweet words and support and thank you for sticking with me and our boys <3

[delightful-duplicity]

au where katsuki has to move away and izuku cries so hard for so long he has to be hospitalized for severe dehydration

[delightful-duplicity]

NOBODY GETS MAN IN THE MIRROR LIKE I DO its all i ever recommend

THANK YOU!!!!!! <3 yk its bad when i publish a chapter and immediately im like ok onto the next chapter i cant stop

[babymorte]

[delightful-duplicity]

Kacey!!! Man in the mirror is so fucking good its killing me aaaaahhh. Can’t wait for the next chapter (take your time, no rush obviouslyy)

ahhhh thank you!!!!!! i have been genuinely having so much fun writing it and it’s been a challenge but also so do rewarding. i literally say this every chapter but the next one IS one of my favs, and we’re really getting into now :) i just love hyper analyzing katsuki and making him smoke weed. ty again :)

[eymurn]
