[eraserisms]

A career in music wasn't something that Aizawa believed to be viable as a long term career, but that wasn't to say he wouldn't be anything less than supportive. Mr. Aizawa was a professional dream crusher but squashing her ambitions at such an impressionable age would be downright cruel. While Shota didn't believe in encouraging a dream that would never come to fruition, she was five and had already lost so much. Eri wasn't a Yuuei student and didn't need a lecture, she needed someone in her corner. Besides, with Jiro and Hizashi in Eri's corner an occupation in music wasn't something impossible. A sliver of a chance was still a chance.

His intense eyes softened once they met hers, the corners crinkling as he gave her a closed mouth smile.

"Do you mean that you just want to make music in or is it what you want to do when you grow up?" He asked, a brow quirking with curiosity. "Either way, I think that would be a great idea, Eri. We can start practicing whenever you're ready."

[herostoried]

At Shota's words, Eri brightens, a small but overjoyed smile lighting up her face as a weight visibly falls from her shoulders. Even though she didn't think Shota would reject her idea, it makes her so happy to know that he thinks it's a good one... she hasn't told Mirio or Midoriya yet, so Shota is the first person who's heard about Eri's dream, and if Shota thinks it's a good idea, then she knows it must be for sure!

It only takes a moment for her expression to scrunch up in thought as she puzzles over his question, but even without her having said a thing... it's impossible to have missed the joy that his answer gave her.

"Umm... I don't know yet." she admits, thinking deeply. Eri thinks she likes the idea of making music when she grows up, but now she's been asked about it, it suddenly feels like such a big decision to make. For a young mind like hers, the idea of being an adult one day feels so distant that it's overwhelming...

"But I like how music can make people happy... and it looks like so much fun." And- it's okay to want things just because she likes them, isn't it? That's what everyone's been telling her, even when she isn't always sure. There's nothing about music that could be bad, anyway - that much, Eri is certain of.

"Is it hard?" she asks, and then with more determination; "...I can definitely practice, though!"

❝ You really think so? I'm always being told to take it a bit easier. I know I tend to shoulder too much at once. I'm trying to get a bit better at that. I just . . . I always felt like I had to. That I needed to prove myself and earn it. I guess that's also one reason why I think you're so amazing. I was pretty socially awkward back then, but you still accepted me without me needing to constantly prove anything to you when we first met. You were . . . the first real friend I had made in a long time. ❞

Dark brows raised at that. For a long while, he felt like he had to keep her favor. To be . . . somebody worthy of all that trust given so freely. To learn it didn't come at a cost, or his awkward excitableness wouldn't push her away. Her consistent, unwavering loyalty was something that inspired and amazed him every day. While he often tried to imitate or think about what Bakugo would do when he needed to put his foot down and be firm, he also thought about her when it came to that faith of hers. When even he couldn't trust himself. What would she do if she were in his shoes?

Right, let's not let the topic get heavy again. At least not right now. Not when he has just managed to cheer her back up.

❝ Sorry. That got a bit deeper than I meant for it to. ❞

Scarred digits rubbed at the nape of his neck a bit awkwardly. Taking in her enthusiasm with a pleased smile. Her optimism was always so endearing. Her energy infectious. It's something he wants to protect no matter what.

❝ Is there anything in particular you're craving? Just say the word and we'll go. I'll take you anywhere you want tonight. So make sure you eat as much as you want to. Afterwards, we can stop somewhere and get dessert on the way back, so food has a chance to settle. I heard the convenience store got a new shipment of those fruit-shaped ice creams that are always going out of stock. If you wanna try that? ❞

"Ah- it's okay! You don't need to be sorry!"

To tell the truth, Ochako hadn't expected Deku to open up nearly as much as he did just now. But although it's a surprise, she feels unexpectedly grateful that he'd been willing to share his feelings with her, even the insecurities he feels - the sorts of things that aren't always easy to admit. And to hear that her actions when they first met had meant so much to him... it's kind of a shock - but definitely a good one!

"I mean, I think you're kinda amazing too..." Ochako admits impulsively herself, before flushing deeper. Then, in a flustered hurry, she adds-

"I mean, it's true that you always take on a lot yourself! But, it's just pretty cool that you're so motivated." A beat passes, and after that, Ochako seems to relax a little. As she meets Izuku's eyes, her next smile is more casual - because really, there's no need for her to be so self-conscious.

"I'm not saying it's good to take on more than you can handle... you've already done so much, too. But, that's you've got friends for, right?" Are those words the right ones to convey everything Ochako is feeling? She's not sure, but it's something she's thought about a lot. Who protects the heroes when they need protecting? At the least, Ochako hopes Izuku knows that he's never alone... just as much as she hopes he never loses that drive of his, too.

"And wow, that sounds amazing! I've always wanted to try those!" After that, letting the topic flow on, Ochako exclaims her excitement eagerly and nods in agreement. "I don't really mind where we go, but... that cafe that's close to the store is pretty good, right?"

[herostoried]

it's ochako starter call time!!! like this post for a starter from THE best girl herself - & this is open to all mutuals regardless of what we've already got going on, as always!

[herostoried]

today's random morning confession is that i really enjoy fics with the concept of ochako having and/or inheriting one for all?? or, well. i like the concept a lot. i haven't actually read any fics like that yet for some reason, but maybe i should.........

[savsketches]

mha vigilantes ship- koichi x 6 comm!!

[herostoried]

it's been so long since i've posted anything ic here but i get my broken laptop back in two days SO I'M GONNA TRY AND LOCK IN THEN!!! FINGERS CROSSED :'))

[herostoried]

(Sorry if you're getting this again, I forget if I have sent this and you have replied but I've missed, but can non-Mutuals still send asks, whether in-character, or just limited to out-of-character?)

ahhhh no worries, and i'm so sorry for the late response! I've been very inconsistently active here lately, otl, but basically, my answer is that non-mutuals can send asks for sure! however, there's no guarantee that I'll respond to in-character asks, i'd say - or more specifically, I may give an IC response if I feel like it, but I won't turn any asks from non-mutuals into actual threads, if that makes sense??

I hope that answer isn't too vague to be helpful, sorry! to be honest I probably haven't given enough thought to it before which is on me lol, so I might end up changing my mind in the future, but. right now the tl;dr is OOC asks = 100%, go for it, and IC asks = also go for it if you'd like, but keep in mind you may not get a response & that I won't continue any asks into threads from non-mutuals atm. thank you so much for asking as well, and feel free to lmk if you've got any other questions c:

They are transparent for your pleasure

[herostoried]

this is going to be controversial as fuck but like. i'm genuinely depressed about the wave of comments i just saw about ai all of a sudden.... but like, specifically the fact that i will never be able to use it in any capacity or people will consider me a selfish/lazy/terrible person, etc. probably even just that sentence/the fact that i wish i could use is enough to get me hate, even if i never touch ai at all............... this is a dumb vent post and i'm kind of terrified of it being Perceived at all so i'll delete it soon, but. anyway please don't hate me you guys :') (and disclaimer again that i have never used ai for my rp and have no intention to ever do so, etc etc, in case that's in doubt!)

but... the honest truth is that ai seems like a tool that could genuinely help me. like my specific flavor of audhd & specific flavor of Terrible brain in general makes everything about the process of fic writing seem impossible to me at the moment, and i don't know what to do about it?? i've tried sitting down and just writing scenes without a plan, i've tried plotting things out first... and every time i try anything i just go completely blank. i can't keep track of my thoughts, i lose track of what i'm thinking mid-sentence, i can't keep track of all the different elements needed for even a simple plot.... figuring out how i want things to happen or how to like. take what i want to express and translate it into actual scenarios is a complete mystery to me. and combined with my horrible horrible task initiation and how easily i get overwhelmed, it makes it so hard to even try at all??

and i know that maybe that makes me stupid or lazy or whatever. maybe i'm not trying hard enough and i'm lacking in willpower compared to everyone else! but i don't know how to fix that either, and my desire to write stories doesn't just go away from acknowledging that fact. and with ai, it's like, it might not even help, but i feel like even having something i can fire my super specific and/or unhelpfully vague questions at and that could break things down and just like, use to externalize my awful working memory could be so helpful! i can't really do that with a real person, because no-one can be on demand 24/7 to do that for me whenever i need, that's just not realistic or fair to them. but the sentiment i overwhelmingly see is that any amount of use of ai in writing would count as "cheating" and would mean you have no passion for the story, you shouldn't be a creator, you don't really care about what you're writing, etc...............

again, i've never once used ai for writing or plotting, but it's at the point where i feel horribly guilty and ashamed just for the fact that part of me wishes i could. it doesn't even matter if i never actually use it, because the comments of like "you all managed to cope just fine before ai came along" and "other disabled people have always found a way!" just make me feel like shit anyway, even if that's not the intention behind them? it's possible ai isn't even what's important here actually, it's more just that i feel shame for the fact that i Can't Seem To Write anything story-adjacent no matter how much i want to, even though the sentiment among writers generally seems to be that if you care, you'll find a way to do it (implied: if you don't, you don't really care & you're just lazy.)

and idk. it just sucks. any comments or advice would be appreciated but obviously don't force yourselves. maybe there are things other things i can try that i haven't considered that could help me in a similar way to how i feel like ai could??? idk................

[herostoried]

our favorite villains sacrificing themselves for their respective heroes with smiles on their faces, while the heroes are left devastated and guilty, possibly without even knowing why (if time travel is involved)............. this is not even an idea i just have the image in my mind today. ;ww;
