#byggualom stuff

do you still plan on updating but you gotta get up at least once more? ive been a fan of that for ages but i guess i just want some closure if it's been discontinued or smth

ugh yeah its been 3 years im sorry. you should probably consider it as indefinite hiatus / abandoned. i have the ending in mind and want to go back to it eventually but first i have to overcome the barrier of thinking that everything i wrote when i was 16/17 is incredibly cringe

Does that mean we should stop hoping for a return to Izuku having major social and cultural issues while being a nearly unstoppable physical powerhouse? Cause that's still one of my most reread fanfiction of all time. Like i'm not sure how honestly you meant that it wasn't good, but that fic still deeply affects me like it has to be one of my favorite portrayals of well abuse and abusive relationships, of having people that you trust not trust you back when you need them.

i really want to return to byggualom :( i know how it ends in my head and everything its just that its really hard for me to go back and read my old writing and ive also developed a strong aversion to mha . im trying to write the next chapter of msa first before making myself go back to byggualom in hopes it will kickstart something

Hey! I'm so sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if the opm and bnha fanfic is discontinued? I love it so much so I appreciate the drawings and works anyways so just wanted to know if there's more to look forward to!

[faq]

byggualom will be continued, but i don’t have an update schedule or estimate of when the next chapter will be out, and it will still be something of a wait.

How would each of the au Izukus act as a parental/big brother figure to Eri in the case that they save her from Overhaul?

villain izuku comedy: this izuku is very bad at close contact human relationships. he would definitely rescue eri if he could, and while he was around her, he would try to amuse her with his antics and teach her cool tricks, like sleight of hand, and pickpocketing, and lockpicking, and other useful things like that. he wouldn’t be able to take care of her though (his emotional maturity is Not Enough For That) so he’d probably drop her off with one of his buddies, or a hero, or someone else who he trusted could take care of her. he’d drop by from time to time to say hi and hang out though. be that real cool, chill big brother with the fun tricks

byggualom izuku: this izuku is nervous and anxious and would be scared of like, breaking eri or something. i think he would fret a lot and ask his friends / family for advice on how to be good with eri... probably would do things like take her to the local library (he is a nerd) or to the park or to local festivals, things like that. i think izuku would see a lot of his own feelings & insecurities reflected in eri, so he’d do his best to reassure eri that she’s wanted, and she’s worth something, etc. Would Fight Anyone Who Made Eri Feel Bad

msa izuku: you’re about to find out

Hey sim, I was rereading byggualom and I noticed you changed the relationship tag to friendship instead. I might be wrong, but wasn't it / before? I was wondering if you wanted to change the story's direction or if you originally wanted it to be a friendship relationship.

nah, it’s always been a friendship tag and never was a romantic one. romance is deeply uninteresting to me and i usually only ship things in the vague sense of “this is a trainwreck of a dynamic and/or an extremely funny clash of personalities, and we ought to enjoy that to the fullest,” which imo is not really worth using the “romantic” relationship tag for, since i am never aiming for an endgame relationship, i am always aiming to maximize the comedy/drama between two people and sometimes that might involve vaguely romantic leanings. but more often not.

more relevant though is that i dont ship b/k/d/k, it turns my stomach, nothing i write is endgame romantic b/k/d/k. their dynamic is a trainwreck and extremely upsetting and i love exploring & deconstructing it, but romance is out of the question, its such a disservice to their characters.

Hi. I usually dont comment on fics bc as you said it is extremely difficult to find the right words (especially when its not your first language and have severe social anxiety) but after seeing the shit you have to deal with im gonna leave a lil review fic. Tbh your fics are the best fucking fics i ever read, for real, like infinity/10. I love how you give importance to how the event that happen have their psychological consecuences bc THATS WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS and most people ignore that (1/?)

And that shows the effort you put into the fics, and thats not even mentioning the god tier writing cos, dude, when i started reading your fics i wouldnt stop till i finish them and spent god knows how many hours daydreaming about what could possibly happen next and excitedly waiting for next chapter if it comes. Tho it seems some people forget that fic writers don't owe shit to the ones who consume their work. You are doing this for free and could easily choose to not share your work (2/?)

But you do, which is great, but that also means that if anything we should be THANKING you for bestowing these blessing upon us. And if people dont like the works or are not for them then they are free to leave and look for things that suits more their tastes but doesn't give the fucking right to leave shit on the fics they didnt like. I really love your works and im happy when you update whenever you can. You should enjoy to do what you do, and that means you shouldn't be preassured at all (3/?

And this whole thing should really be enjoyable for everyone. I'd like to think writers write bc they WANT TO and readers read bc the also want to, so it really should be what its meant to be, a nice symbiotic relationship with no need for any kind of toxic behaviour in the interactions. So i'd really like to thank you for your work, its great and you are awesome and seem to be a great person and I admire you lots, I love readiing all your tags in which you appreciate the little details in (4/?)

other people's works and it makes me SCREECH in glee and happiness when I see your own fanart for your fics bc 'oh my gowd ITS OFFICIAL ART!!!! And also, bless the angst, really, it gives life and feeling to the stories and makes the happy moments and improvements of the characters situations a hella lot sweeter -im a sucker for angst with happy/ish endings-. And its fucking awesome how you focus on the development of the characters & their bonds & stories instead of just sexual attractions (5/?

And I love how we can connect and sympathise with your izukus regardless of their personalities and how you make him flawed, people arent perfect and as much as izuku is an incredibly selfless and beautiful person he isnt the epitome of all things good and right and can also fall in toxic behaviours towards his self and it also shows how trauma and abuse left their mark on him instead of just acting as if none of it happened. In byggualom I liked how izuku and bakugou could actually hang out 6/?

and maybe even have a good time but THAT DOES NOT MEAN everything is fine and dandy, which gets shown quite explicitly. They COULD potentially and eventually have a nice frienship/healthy rivalry but they BOTH have to get over a lot of stuff (izuku already has had a rocky but eventually good start there), their relationship as it is now and as it was was/is too unbalanced to be anything but unhealthy. And you can see both sides of the story and each their espectators different perspectives (7/?)

Its also nice to see a change from the 'uraraka and deku immediately liked each other and became best friends' trope and how even with their not quite great star they have been able to reach and understanding and maybe a bit of mutual respect. There are no words to describe the blessing that mitoki is, truly, he deserves that big toblerone and should share it with hatsume and shinsou. Speaking of which, I loved how it seemed that Shinsou was going to get adopted into their weird but adorable 8/?

dynamics before the angst rollercoaster decided to fall of the cliff hanger into the pit of dispair and suffering. And dont even get me started on msa. I adore izuku's sarcastic little shit's self and how much effort he puts to being as unhelpful and uncooperative as humanly and spiritually possible even tho he'll end up helping anyway bc he cant just do nothing even if he'll complain about it to everyone involved. And kirishima is so pure, bless that boy, he is just trying to do his best (9/?)

hey this is such a long and in depth review and you are so kind to me!!! thank you for your concerns, im sorry if i made it sound like bad comments were a bigger problem than they really are, they just get me down occasionally. i’m happy to share the stuff i write as long as there are people who enjoy it. and im really overwhelmed by how much detail youve put into these asks!!! i dont know if you finished saying everything you wanted to say but this alone has really helped lift my mood. 

i put a lot of time and effort into thinking about characterization so im really happy to hear that you liked the way i wrote so many of the characters... ;_; i feel so acknowledged and validated right now. im sorry i dont have enough to say to write as long a response as you wrote a review but really, thank you so much for the long review. it means a lot to me.

I was re-reading byggualom again and just thought of someone trying to figure out what Izu/ku has done during his 'career' and just talking about random instances and measuring how far Izu/ku sinks into his chair to find out if he was involved.

MEASURING HOW FAR IZU/KU SINKS INTO HIS CHAIR!!! im laughing honestly you probably could!!! poor izu/ku doesnt know how to hide his tells at ALL this would be a horrifying experience for him but so so funny too

[simkjrs]

any plans on updating byggualom ?

yep, but i have no schedule and dont know when. we are all just going to get the chapter whenever it comes. the future is shrouded in mystery
