Can you tell us anything about your MiriTama fic?

I don’t wanna give too much away.

Like I said in another post, it’ll be a future fic! But neither Tamaki nor Mirio are pro heroes. And for some reason, they haven’t been in contact with each other in 4 or 5 years… In order to figure out what the future has in store for them, they first must face their past.

A story of recovery, reconciliation, and forgiveness :)

My apologies but what is this Quirkless AU of yours exactly?

Basically Izuku stays quirkless, doesn’t get One For All, and becomes a hero anyway. I know it’s been done before, but I’ve always wanted to do my own take on it.

Loved the chapter but I saw an ask and had to ask "BT/Best and the ocean cryptid AU"?

BT/Best (Bad Timeline Best End) is a creation of the levi server. basically

Bad Timeline: izuku accidentally injures inko as a 4 year old during his first stint as the leviathan, fucks off to hide in the ocean as a feral child for however long

Good End (of the Bad Timeline): aizawa saves izuku and he gains like 7 parental figures while being rehabilitated as a Human

and Ocean Cryptid is my spinoff AU where inko gets killed as a bystander by a pro hero (cough cough endeavor) which is basically the final straw for him so he gives up on humanity and fucks off to live in the ocean as some sort of bizarre cryptid/vigilante, only showing up on the shore occasionally in shitty fashion

So I have a Secret Quartet question. How'd the things with Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Queen B go?

Ooh, this is fun to think about. @queenofhearts7378 would have a better answer to that than me (she started the crossover, after all), but if we’re assuming Adrien was part of the Secret Quartet when this happened and Jake, Danny, and Randy weren’t around to help when the other Miraculous holders started turning up, Adrien would probably be asking them for advice.

I mean, he’s supposed to be Ladybug’s partner, but it’s hard not to see it like she’s replacing him, regardless of what she says. And he can’t blame her, because how much help has he been? She’s had to fight him a lot, he’s been caught under the spell of the latest villain many times, sometimes he’s caught in a trap and can’t free himself, and she had to fight without him entirely when Style Queen got him. It would be a major hit to his confidence, especially when that’s on shaky ground considering how little recognition he gets from his father. 

Couple that with the fact that Ladybug clearly knows more than he does about everything, that she hasn’t told him the whole story behind where she’s getting the Miraculous or who she’s entrusting them with or why she can suddenly give him things to feed Plagg to change the transformation…. How can he call himself her partner, when the balance of power is so one-sided? Is she trying to distance herself from him because he confessed how he felt? What did he do wrong? Why doesn’t she trust him?

He could talk to Danny, Jake, and Randy after what happened in Style Queen. He doesn’t need to remember it to know. To realize how close he came. It would make him feel so useless. What kind of hero is he if he’s taken out of the fight before he can even begin to help? And the others would share stories of their mistakes and missteps and how they turned those around or handled them, and he’d feel less alone, and less like someone made a mistake giving him the Miraculous.

And working with them? Fight bad guys and winning? It would help. Reassure him that he does have skills, he can fight well, and he wouldn’t need to second guess himself when he fights with Ladybug.

Had the other boys in the Secret Quartet been around to help for those incidents, the Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Queen Bee probably wouldn’t have been needed. 

Jake probably has some of Fu’s magic potions kicking around to supplement the magic he doesn’t inherently have, and he’s the only one of the bunch used to a younger sibling. He knows how they think. Even if his dragon eyes can’t spot the real children, he’d be able to come up with something to pick them out. Danny’s ice powers might be enlisted to make some enticing creations, and Randy would learn just how far he can take the Art of Disguise–because no one said that was limited to him.

Even if they didn’t want to torch or freeze the spiderweb for safety reasons, Danny’s intangibility would’ve made that rescue easy.

In the fight with Style Queen, they’d know immediately that Chat Noir was out of the equation because they know who he is, unlike Ladybug. And they’re not exactly ill-equipped to fight someone made of glitter. A Ninja Hydro-Hand would take out clumps at a time even with her trying to shift around their attacks, assuming they don’t want to risk setting fire to everything with either a fireball or Jake’s flames, and Danny could probably ice her in place while she’s trying to dodge someone else’s attack.

When Queen Bee went rogue, even if Jake didn’t have some sort of antidote to her venom, they could have helped slow the train. Danny is strong in ghost mode if he can lift a bus full of children, and Jake can carry a heck of a lot as a dragon. (Even if Danny’s not strong enough to turn the entire train intangible or take it off the tracks, he’ll still make a big difference.) While they’re trying to slow the train down with Ladybug, Randy could decide if he thinks he can actually safely control an element to help here (earth to slow the train without derailing it or wind to increase the wind resistance) or if he’d rather start flinging Ninja Rings at Queen Bee. Because if he can get her Miraculous off and cause her to transform back, that might negate her venom. (He’s willing to try anything at this point, and she seems to be a worse hero than he ever was, so…. Probably best that she doesn’t have it, right? (Randy wouldn’t be thinking about redemption arcs despite the many mistakes he’s made and paid for.)) There’s also the possibility that the Ninja Art of Healing would be able to counteract the paralysis, or at least counteract it enough to allow the conductor to do his job or help them through it.

When Queen Bee got akumatized? Danny, definitely. Intangibility. He could grab her Miraculous and get it to Adrien to destroy. If hit, he might–and this is a bit of a stretch but it’s still a possibility–be able to phase through the venom in his body–and everyone else’s, if they got hit. There’s also the possibility that Jake’s dragon hide is thicker and that the venom would have a lesser effect on him in dragon form or in general just because of his dragon powers/him not being completely human. Randy…Randy would just have to dodge.

Invisibility and intangibility would be really helpful where Maledikator is concerned, too. Jake probably has a handful of spells to try with varying degrees of effectiveness, and Randy is totally willing to try to burn the power sparks out of the sky until it’s made clear that that is a Bad Idea, but the possibility of being turned into a puppet makes Danny’s invisibility–and his ability to transfer it to whoever he’s touching–an ideal tool. He can’t be made a target if they don’t know he’s there. And Randy and Jake would make excellent distractions.

And if all the heroes got together? Expect lots of horrible puns and accompanying groans/cringes, plenty of teasing, maybe a dash of flirting from both sides, and a whole lot of friendly competition. Alya would call for it to be girls against boys. Chloé would be the first one to play dirty–especially because she doesn’t know her precious Adrikins is under Chat Noir’s mask. Marinette’s attempts to calm things down before they explode out of control would be drowned out by enthusiasm. Nino would catch her eye and shrug, then swallow when he spots Rena’s hungry look. Randy, Danny, and Jake would already be trying to come up with plans to get the girls, but if this is Paris, they’re at a disadvantage because they don’t know the territory, and they have to rely on Adrien and Nino for guidance–particularly Adrien, as Nino wouldn’t be used to seeing it from the rooftops (and he’s definitely not used to running them so dragon riding it is), which is probably where the competition would start because they’d be meeting up somewhere away from crowds.

Your thoughts on Blue Mage?

I am excited for people who are excited! But I have no horse in this race; there isn’t any particular class/job I want in game. I’m very very happy to stay a SMN main, and I’d say the only other job I wanted was Red Mage and we got that, so I’m cool.

I’ll probably check out BLU once 4.5 goes live to make the obvious pimp cane jokes but it’s going to be to poke at in curiosity rather than rabid desire.

May I ask how's your DnD/Voltron project going?

Currently on hiatus. Pretty much all of my fanfiction is on hiatus, actually. I’m just not motivated to write at the moment. I tend to go through cycles, so I expect it will come back around. It’s not like writer’s block, it’s not like I’m trying to write and having trouble, I’m just not really trying to write right now because I don’t feel like it. I feel bad for having so many things on hold, but I’m just much more interested in consuming fiction at the moment than I am in writing it. I hope you all understand.

There are Winx Club comics?

YUP they’re pretty good, the outfits are whack lol but they go into more detail about relationships and stuff...i havent read all of them but what ive seen are pretty good

OK so I'm curious and spoiler warning so do this or don't but what do you regret the most about how the show never really explored the other two Boosters we saw in the show?

I mean, I don’t think anyone’s going to know about this show who hasn’t watched the whole series at least once... *shrugs* But anyways, on to the question!

My biggest one would be the major tease we got regarding the Power Booster. The fact that we had that whole episode dedicated to Parmon and Cyrano not only proving themselves to the Power Priests, their friends, technically Armeggadon, and even to themselves that they were important. That they were useful, and they had the skills and resources they needed to do big things.

THEN THEY DRACKING GOT THE GAUNTLET, WERE TOLD TO FIND THE AMULET, AND THE SERIES ENDED AND NEVER PICKED UP AGAIN.

TALK ABOUT A BLOODY TEASE, AND LET’S NOT FORGET THIS PIECE OF SHIT TEASE AS WELL:

We had so much going for us when this series was cut down in its prime...alas...
