TLOBK SAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS (11/16)

Sad News first:

I thought I'd be back on my bullshit, and able to update today, but these past two weeks have been insane. I suddenly found myself in the position of very little free time and adjusting to some big life changes. Which means I don't have enough free time for right now to keep up with my regular posting schedule. I really enjoyed it while it lasted, and if I can, I hope to build up enough backlog of the fic where I could potentially return to that, but I don't want to keep dragging it out every week and getting peoples' hopes up.

So for the foreseeable future, I'll be doing a bit more of a 'normal' fanfic posting schedule, which is, not having a posting schedule and just updating whenever I can.

Good News:

(idk if this is good news, but I want to reassure) my passion and love of this fic is still just as strong as ever, I just don't have nearly enough time to concentrate it in the way I have been.

I will get to every comment and reply as I always have, and I WILL finish this fic, so please don't worry about that.

I always always love interacting and talking with others about this fic and none of that has changed. It's really upsetting to me that I have to prioritize other life things right now, because this fic and community has been such a source of comfort for me and I appreciate you all so much who have stuck around since the beginning.

I can say, I only have about of a 1/3 of chapter 15 written, but I'll post it when it's done and edited, so you can expect it sometime sooner than later. I never want to drag out updates to be months at a time or anything, but every week as of right now isn't doable either, so definitely I want to find a nice in between.

Anyways, thank you so much for all the patience, love and support~~~

gah i'm also so upset that my life is imploding right as I'm getting to the part i've been wanting to write all along kajwklejlakmwelkaw lol okay oh well such is life 😭😭😭😭

The Luxury of Being Known: Sat 11/9 No Update This week (sry! 😭)

This has been a pretty hellish week for me, and I didn't have the bandwidth to finish Chapter 15.

The angst in my real life has been going kind of hard, so I did end up writing a new Perpetual Pause chapter, which I will post soon (instead of chapter 15), so hopefully that will help tide things over until the next week! (11/16)

I should be back on my bullshit by then, so yeah, just a heads up: No update this saturday 😭😭

Sorry!!!

are you planning on developing Todoroki's toughness in your fic?

Ahh ty for sending me a Q and being interested in my fic!! 😘🥰

That is a great question and I think the answer depends on what you mean by “toughness,” so I’ll try to describe a couple different meanings

If you are asking, will we see more of shouto being a badass, skilled and strong? then yessss! Definitely! I love powerful and capable shoto who is already much better than many pro heroes!

If you mean something like, shoto is soft in this fic, will his personality become rougher or maybe harsher? Then I’d say, maybe not in those exact terms, but we will see more and more of his personality emerge. As he becomes more secure with his friends (found family) and learns more about his abuse and trauma he can start finding his identity.

Right now the poor guys whole personality is a bunch of trauma responses all bundled together. 😭😭 he’s never had the security or stability for anything else

Oh and if you’re asking, will we see shoto stand up for himself, instead of just taking everything, not understanding it’s wrong when he’s hurt etc.

Then yes! We still have some ways to go but he’s starting to understand with the support of his friends the ways he should be treated.

Right now though, shoto is at his “toughest” when he’s protecting others, friends, innocents, etc. and when he’s running his mouth against endeavor (which we haven’t seen much yet but we will)

Gah I hope I was able to answer your question! I wasn’t sure exactly what you were referring to so if I missed anything don’t hesitate to let me know 😘😘

Perpetual Pause ch.2 - potentially unused excerpt

This is just an excerpt from the upcoming chapter of Perpetual Pause

That I'm not sure I'll be able to use, but I like lol so I felt sad just deleting it

Father is a natural born predator and has used his innate talent to build a staggering empire of status, wealth and power. His cornerstone hubris is that nothing will ever be good enough. Upon the sharp, uneven edges of this jagged rock, Shouto knows this truth better than anyone else. As it is only his entire reason for being–the binding contract he signed at conception describes him as a tool in the shape of a person.   Every single day Endeavor hones his god given talent for the hunt. But as the sun sets he still burns his aching inferiority into the weeping skin of Shouto’s back, his shoulders, and his thighs. (He chases after the ghost of a legend, hoarding skill and strength like it could save him, when what he really needs is heart.)

Shoto pov coming soon in Perpetual Pause (companion fic)

The Luxury of Being Known

It starts from when Enji drags Shoto out after the Sports Festival and shows what happens during the 3 day weekend.

I’m excited because after all the fluffy parts of the last couple chapters I was missing the angst. So yeah heavy whump. And more in line with what I’m gonna have a lot of in the whump arc!

A lot of really important dynamics about Enji’s character as well as the relationship between Enji and Shouto will be fleshed out in this part! All of this will be seen in the main fic as well! I wrote a whole thing about it that I’ll post later! 😘

I’m just going to use this tag space to put anything tlobk related and act as like a tlobk journal. At the very least itll be fun for me to look back at after the fic is done heheh!
