well, no, i didn’t expect leopards to eat my face, but this obviously wasn’t what the leopards eating people's face party wanted. they were stifled by their opposition and bureaucratic red tape! i think we should give more power to the leopard eating face party, so the leopards only eat the faces of people who deserve it. plus they just put a new leopard in charge of the face eating, and i think this one really brings something new to the table. so yes i'm voting for the leopards eating people's face party again. why wouldn't i.
as mentioned in my ch10 author's note, i decided to make a separate strawpage as part of the ch10 celebratory q&a! here's the link: https://thusburnsthedawn.straw.page/
below the cut are the answers to the questions i've received so far!! i'll be editing this post as i answer new questions, so be sure to keep checking this post if you asked a question, as i'll be answering them in order & i want to keep them all in one place :) thanks so much y'all!!! ilysm, i've loved hearing your thoughts & questions!!
i won't lie my process is weird and lowk hell on earth. i like to script the entire chap/almost the entire chap in advance before i start writing (i.e. i write ALL the dialogue first, then when it's time to write i'm only filling in prose, descriptions, etc) i usually script on either 1. notes on my phone, i brainstorm a lot while driving so i do talk to text (and have all the bnha characters as contacts on my phone so it doesn't get their names wrong LMFAO) and i also like to hand-write dialogue on my ipad, idk for some reason that just gets the brain juices flowing (pictured: some scripting from shouto's song!) i SWEAR i have good handwriting haha but when i'm scripting i just want to get ideas flowing so it's true chicken scratch lmao. i usually spend about 1-2 weeks doing this depending on how much time i have. then when it's time to fully write, i write best in the mornings, so i'll usually get up anywhere between 4-6am and write until i need to go do smth else (work, going to the barn, etc) which is anywhere from 4-8 hours. so. weird and hellish and awful and miserable but it WORKS so i'm not gonna change it until i need to for some reason haha. i use music to brainstorm a lot -- usually the music will have nothing to do with the scene itself, my brain chemicals are weird man. been listening to a lot of vocaloid lately so miku will be singing about being cheerful and having fun meanwhile shouto is talking about how he wanted to khs to be with his dead brother touya. i tend to think of BIG big ideas on long trips, such as flights, long drives, and long train rides. can't remember the last time i took a 5+ hour trip and tbtd didn't have some crazy new development added lol. hope this helps!!
yeah this question's fine! i dont rlly consider it much of a spoiler since tbtd isn't tagged as MCD on ao3 -- no, none of the league members die in tbtd. some other characters do die, but no one i'd consider a protagonist (which includes the league, since they're major characters actively being saved/helped!) the only deaths are characters i'd consider actual antagonists, i.e. characters who are actively working against the goals of dawn trio + the themes of the fic. hope this helps ease ur soul!! lol
yo!! honestly, solo shouto was my plan all along. i never considered the idea of tokoyami working alongside them in this fic. as much as i like him, i LOVE shouto, and i really wanted to focus on the dynamic and development of just shouto and hawks without splitting the focus between hawks and another student, especially since shouto and hawks had SO much potential in canon but it never got explored. thanks for the question!!
SDFGHJK this is so fucking funny. it wasn't something i'd thought about before but i'd consider adding it just for you, anon. it's very them lol
oooh this is a fun one!! i LOVEEE aizawa to bits and he definitely has a key supporting role in the fic. shouto at this point suspects aizawa Knows about his past, so i'll confirm here that he does in fact Know. not the details ofc since no one has ever explicitly told him, but he's VERY observant and has worked with kids for many years so he's got an eye for these sorts of things. i think he'd empathize with hawks too, but since hawks has done some....unsavory things, there would for sure be more complexity in that relationship. i will say that the scene in ch9 between shouto and aizawa where shouto asks aizawa to stop him at all costs if things get BAD bad was definitely there for a reason. aizawa is shouto's emergency contact, after all. <3
ooh this is another good one!! i do have a lot of it planned chapter-by-chapter, but for things in the distant future (like symbol of fear arc and beyond) it's more rough bullet points of things that will happen without being neatly sorted into chapter numbers. regarding my writing schedule, i try to post a chapter every 2-4 weeks! i think the most common time frame has been every ~3 weeks for now, which is like....half a week break, 1.5weeks scripting, then 1 week writing, though there has been some wiggle room for when life gets really busy, and some 2-week turnarounds have been for when smth POSSESSED me and i couldn't stop myself lmao. as for my writing process, this question got asked already and the answer is the first one under the cut! hope it helps :))
KJHGFDSDFG IM SORRYYYYYY. yeahh the past few chapters have been kinda suffering-heavy (and ch11 is…..not any better at ALL) but there will be some lighter moments in infiltration arc as part of dabi's "plan" to be nice to shouto, as well as shouto bonding with the league (which is sweet if you ignore his deep nauseating guilt at starting to genuinely like and empathize with them…) as for my favorite chapter, ohhh thats a tough one!! if i had to pick chapters as a whole, it would probably be between 4 and 10. as for favorite moments so far, it would be the fight & hospital scene in ch4, touya reveal #1 in ch6, the dabihawks scene in the hpsc archive in ch7, the dabi & miruko moment during the hpsc incident in ch8, the soba brothers hug in ch9, and shouto's song + the soba brothers argument in ch10. :) OH AND the scene at UA in ch1 has an extremely special place in my heart. it's also the first scene i ever wrote in the whole fic -- specifically when endvr shows up & scares shouto. so yeah that one is also v precious to me. i'd love to hear my readers' favorite chapters and moments too honestly, it's always so cool hearing what resonated with people individually!!
tbh my biggest problem with go3 is that aziraphale and crowley do stuff that affects the plot and actually makes a difference in the story #notmygoodomens. my ineffables do NOT save the world, they are there while the world is saved
you’ve taken the two most useless beings in existence and you made them make a decision. look at them. they’re suicidal now
i hate that when you try and look up shit for writing purposes it starts linking suicide hotlines and addiction advice articles like bro i just wanna know the information im not killing myself i promise. now tell me what i wanna know
rocky hunting grace while hes working like heh. going to pull big prank on grace. stupid human hearing so bad very bad and only 'see' with light-sense organ in one direction at a time. eridian best hunter on all erid, evolved best hunting veeeery quiet. scare grace a lot. very funny.
rocky is HORRIFIED mid stalk when grace suddenly stiffens and turns around to stare directly at him. HOW GRACE DO THAT HOW GRACE KNOW HOW GRACE KNOW
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
