In worlds apart, Eraserhead saves All Might’s life. Sometimes, Aizawa Shouta saves Yagi Toshinori’s. Whether or not they remember these encounters across their different lifetimes, Eraserhead will always be there when All Might needs them the most.

           && a collection of one-shots in which Eraserhead saves All Might in more ways than one.

I’ve really only had the energy to write fanfiction lately, even though I’ve made small progress on Us and the Stars.

This is an excerpt from a series of one-shots I want to write about different universes in which he is saved from serious/traumatic situations by Eraserhead. Together, they eventually develop memories of these different lives they’ve lived together.

can you tell i really like soulmate aus?

The blood in his mouth runs as thick as the saliva pooling in the back of his throat. On the asphalt, the muscles in his arms and legs sting and roar as if set aflame beneath his skin. Though his vision is blurring in and out with the clouds shifting away from the moon itself, his mind is sharper than any piercing blow All For One could send his way.

But Yagi Toshinori is tired. He is tired beyond comprehension, beyond rational understanding that a human being could even be so tired. The exhaustion seeps into every nerve beneath his tattered skin, and every blink of his eyelids threatens to remain closed and enveloped in blissful darkness. He wants to lay down and drown out the thought of the thousands and thousands of people who are depending on his success tonight. The people who desperately, desperately needed somebody like him to keep them strong. To keep them brave.

But he knows as well as anybody watching him now that he is far too weak to go on. All For One’s boisterous laughter from the dark rings in an ugly monotone. It hammers against his eardrums even through the constant ringing in his own ears. Toshinori bares his teeth, and reels back in for another smashing punch to All For One’s jaw.

The wind whistles in his ear as he soars in for another useless blow. His fist connects uselessly with One For All’s open palm, nearly throwing him back as the recoil sends his heels digging into the asphalt. His strength is draining as fast as he can move. Soon, he will be entirely incapacitated.

Gran Torino’s voice sounds in his ears.

“Get up, All Might! We are counting on you!”

My writing muse has been all over the place lately (this is the first time in a while I’ve felt like a true writer with ADHD) and I’ve been writing bits and pieces of three different things.

I finally wrote the beginning of what will be Aaron’s relationship with his mother.

I decided to toy around with an idea (fanfiction) of a series of one-shots related to alternate universes where Eraserhead steps in to save All Might during different scenarios (his fight with All For One, a breakdown in front of the press, etc.) that surprise! are connected and the two start to develop memory of.

and Killing Eve smut because?? why not.

Part of this is mental health shit and the fact that I’m back at school and my schedule is changing dramatically from what it was. It’s frustrating, but I guess at least having ideas is something.

but, I did get my prose poem published. yay.

New blog = dead dashboard. I need to rectify this situation asap.

Could y’all do me a massive favour and reblog this post if you’re a writeblr? I’m not fussy about specific genres or anything, I just want to go on a huge following spree and discover new stories and get some life back onto my page! (my previous blog was @snowdropwrites!) 

Don’t be shy about reblogging with info about your current wips, too! I’d love to hear about what I’ve missed while I’ve been away!<3

Happy Storyteller Saturday! — How would you describe your OC through the eyes of someone who wholeheartedly loves them (whether romantically or platonically). Now, how would you describe your OC through the eyes of someone who either detests them/doesn't like them a bit?

Ooofff. This is a great, great question and I was sitting on it for a while at work… I’m going to describe Aaron Duggar for this one, since he does, canonically, have people who feel strongly about both sides of this question.

Love

Aaron is the type of person to draw the longest bouts of laughter up from the chest that I have ever met in my life. His sense of humor leaves me breathless and utterly weak in the limbs. And yet, you can see it in his eyes that he genuinely enjoys being funny for the sake of it; he claims to be so shut off, and yet, the warmth in his gaze when he makes someone smile is the most genuine thing I’ve seen in a long, long time.

He is always observing. He wants to know more about you and what makes you tick. When finds something or someone he cares about, he cares as deeply as the bluest trenches of the sea. He will rip himself to shreds to keep you warm and find it hard to understand how anyone could do anything differently.

His love for his daughter is utterly contagious and is a hallmark of his bravery and kindness. The world will blame him for her illness, and yet, it doesn’t stop him from giving her the fullest, happiest life a single father can possibly provide. He will set aside all things for those that he loves; his anxieties, his rivalries, and his bitterness. He is keen to understand that those things have taken him nowhere in the past and will take him nowhere moving forward. He believes he is selfish; I believe he is wholeheartedly warm and terrifically devoted when he understands how to accept the love he never believed he deserved.

Hatred

Aaron is a selfish, bitter excuse for a human being. He withdraws from the world with little to no care as to how it affects others. His refusal to take responsibility for his own mistakes is laughably childish, and he’ll drop dead before he acknowledges the fact that he burns everybody he touches. His poor self-esteem is contagious – he uses it as an excuse to self-isolate and will always abandon every good thing in his life, no matter what it is.

Maybe if he learns to stop feeling so sorry for himself day in and day out, he could make something of his life aside from work and smoking cigarettes. Who knows? Nobody does, because he has no friends at work or at home. He shoves them all away and isn’t afraid to be a piece of shit about it when he does. He’s childish, selfish, and pathetic. That’s Aaron Duggar.

[inkstarlight]

I'm definitely sad about it, but I won't be writing/posting as much now that my semester's up and running again. Hopefully I'll still work on Us and the Stars (and Sound and Fury) in snippets before my semester gets too crazy, but I'll definitely be slowing down for the next few months

season two ; episode five of CoM is full of heartache but i still can’t believe benji was literal minutes away from death and thought to taunt it.

[headspace-hotel]

what people think is hard about writing: describing the joy, love, beauty, grief, loss and hope that form the richness of human experience

what is actually hard about writing: describing basic actions such as turning, leaning over, reclining, gesturing, saying something in a quiet voice, breathing, getting up from chairs, and walking across rooms

Please please please, as a consumer of stories PLEASE, just make them get together in the beginning and write them as a couple throughout.

There are too friggin many will-they-won’t-they stories and when you put them getting their S.O. at the end, getting together comes off as the most important thing in their character development… How do they make it work? How do they work together?

It gets soooo much more interesting after they get together. Which ship is more fun: Morticia and Gomez (Addams family) or Aang and Katara (Last Airbender)? Who was more interesting: Ruby and Sapphire (Steven Universe) or Korra and Asami (Legend of Korra)?

The overall writing in both of my married-couple examples are (arguably) poorer, but the relationships were more interesting imo because they weren’t the same things we’ve seen ad nauseum.
