oh, now i want to read max/furiosa fanfics! can you recommend some authors?

FINALLY!!! I have been asking people to ask me for recs since forever lol, especially since there are a few writers who’ve written for JB as well.

THE Max/Furiosa fic is the exquisite novel-length fic, The Length and Breadth of Fury Road by proprioception. Max doesn’t appear for a long time, and I was legit afraid Furiosa was going to die when I was at Chapter 25 or something, but it’s SO GOOD. They also wrote a companion series called Shrapnel, and the best ones in this series are the shorter sequels to Length and Breadth, in order: Glow, Fallout, Perihelion.

The other classic Max/Furiosa fic is Orbit by Primarybufferpanel. Their JB fic is the S8 fix-it, Washed Up On Your Shores (WIP)

ssstrychnine, as in the same ssstrychnine who wrote It’s Like Weather, has written a few, mostly one-shots, including the lovely Water and Earth.

You will need an account to read my absolute favourite AU, two creams, one sugar by underwater_owl. The two main parts are Blood, Coffee, & Motor Oil / Before, Since & After. If you like Miss_M and ellaria, you will love these.

Anddddd I love love love Owlship, who has written every AU imaginable. The wonderful Petshop AU Around the Corner (from the series In the Middle of Our Street) is their best known, and then there’s these too: 

soulmate AU Mirrored

children’s book author AU Pen to Paper

Hogwarts AU Swish and Flick

Furiosa thinks Max is deaf and has been talking about him while in the elevator with him AU Idle Hands

Furiosa wakes up as a cat AU Out Of The Bag

I’m also absolutely dying for them to finish Where the furies call, which imagines a world in which Furiosa was never captured and brought to the Citadel. Like Primarybufferpanel, they have also written a S8 fix-it for JB: That Which Was Promised.

Dancing on the Ceiling by HolisticPanda is a high school AU WIP that’s very good. Updating very slowly though!

If you have the stomach for A/B/O dynamics (which works very well with the MMFR setting), Swelter by owlship and Tooth And Nail are both excellent (I believe the latter might have been written by one of the authors mentioned here, but the fic has been orphaned).

+Bonus: obviously you have to read the J/B AU version of MMFR: and you’ve whispered what I’m worth by angel_deux

THERE ARE ONLY 600 MAX/FURIOSA FICS COMPARED TO 5000 J/B FICS SO THEY SHOULD BE EASY TO EXPLORE. Many wonderful ones I’m sure I’ve missed out.

My very correct take on bnha ships

[deepherofanaticism]

See I know that All Might is a fantastic, fleshed-out and complex character because writing notes detailing his canon personality reveals how often his traits contradict each other, but still work in perfect tandem in a realistic way. 

See here what I’ve written on Sticky Notes, following my personal interpretation of his character as seen in the manga and anime.

All Might Character Notes:

Strict

(But weak against: 1. admiration and hero-worship 2. people in trouble 3. people who are sad 4. Deku almost always (except when he’s being strict))

Goofy/Serious

Affectionate/Standoffish

A good cook

Lonely

Forms strong attachment/Self-isolates

Shortsighted

Struggles to see other perspectives/Extremely empathetic

Loves people

Single-minded (NOT narrow-minded, just focused)

Worrywart

Emotional/Jaded

And it’s a little bit like I’m outlining two, different, one-dimensional characters into one completely whole and believable person with tons of nuance. Every facet of All Might’s personality has a reason for existing and a foil that’s equally belonging. And it all wraps up into a compelling story of a truly one of a kind man. Amazing.

i think one of my favorite things about the boys is how out of all of them hughie, the one considered to be the useless civilian one, is ultimately the one who did the most against vought, and most of it was by mistake or an accident.

like. hughie electrocuted and then murdered a member of the seven, was responsible for another’s death, and had an occasion to let another die and only didnt because he’s a good person. he infiltrated vought tower twice, going as far as the seven’s main room. he bugged said room and one of the seven’s phone. he successfully broke five prisoners out of vought facilities. he hacked into a supe’s computer to spy on her which allowed them to blackmail her. he encouraged annie to fight back against the deep which led to him being fired from the seven. he also showed up to a-train’s hostage situation, blackmailed him into letting his dad go, then had his leg broken which also led to him being fired. plus all the information and help they get from annie they get only because hughie knows her. he gave butcher the solution to make sure vought wouldn’t find them when they had transluscent. he lied to homelander’s face and is the only human except edgar and butcher who stood up to him. the information which allowed to take down stormfront was given to him and annie, not any of the boys. he successfully blackmailed ezekiel without even having any evidence, purely through improvisation, and is the one who found out where the compound v was which directly led to discovering how supes are made. he helped obtain and leak the compound v information to the public.

like the boys would be NOWHERE at this point if butcher hadn’t recruited him and its hilarious because since he doesn’t look intimidating nobody focuses on him. homelander saw the boys and immediately decided butcher was his sworn enemy he was gonna have a rivalry with and completely overlooked the awkward twink. when in reality the boys aint shit without him and said awkward twink is objectively the biggest threat against vought so far, and he directly or indirectly got FOUR of the seven either killed or fired. literally every single one of the boys, annie included, would be dead without him and he’s not even trying half of the time or he does it on accident. and yet everyone just goes ‘oh yeah thats hughie he doesnt really do anything’. idk why this is so funny to me

“Now comes the exquisite twist”

[invisiblefoxfire]

Here’s a transcription, as the text in the image is way too small:

Murder or Suicide?

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story.

On March 23, 1993 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide.

He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency.

As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.

“Ordinarily,” Dr Mills continued, “A person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide.” That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.

In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject “A: but kills subject “B” in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject “B.”

When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, if the gun had been accidentally loaded.

The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son’s financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.

Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn’t actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist.

Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother’s murder. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as suicide.

A true story from Associated Press, Reported by Kurt Westervelt.

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.
