Slytherins & Prejudice (Tangent/Rant)
Slytherins & Prejudice (Tangent/Rant)
I’m gonna be honest here. I think Slytherins tend to be misunderstood. Well technically we see the more ‘darker’ side in the books, and that’s partly because Harry ended up as a Gryffindor instead, so we never really got to fully see what it was like.
Maybe I’ve just been reading too much fanfiction, but I think we’ve all been there once or twice. I recall when first reading the books that I didn’t really like Slytherin. Of course, this was due to Draco Malfoy’s entrance, and the prejudice against the actual house.
Funny thing, I actually took the house quiz back then on the website and got Slytherin. I couldn’t believe it, how could I be a part of the evil house? Wouldn’t I be better in Ravenclaw? The second time I took it, I became a Ravenclaw, but that isn’t the point. It isn’t, because the cast only get sorted once, and that meant that technically only my first one counted. Slytherin.
I’d imagine you probably know it by now as we’ve all grown. Slytherins are ambitious people, with big dreams and the desire to pursue it. Not necessarily a bad thing. For me, my interests lie in a thirst of knowledge, and trying to be the best. Well that’s kind of weak, but what do you expect of a kid?
But the point is, technically, all houses have bad counterparts to them. Bravery can just as easily be dumb recklessness. Loyalty can just as easily be blind devotion. Ambition can lead to greed. Intelligence can lead to arrogance.
Honestly this is the kind of thing you learn when you grow up. That you realize that they’re just kids, and probably repeating what their parents told them (god knows I have), and wouldn’t know right from wrong. It doesn’t help either that they kind of become seen as ‘antagonists’ (is it wrong that I can see Ron being angry at Harry for either being sorted or almost sorted into Slytherin? If I recall correctly, he was also angry at Harry for ‘joining’ the TriWizard Tournament thing despite how Harry kept trying to tell him that he didn’t even want to. You see my point?).
Now, I can’t actually remember that time they were polyjuiced and went into the Slytherin dormitory, but I’m gonna be honest here. Fanfiction. I can’t even say that some of them don’t bring up good points about Slytherins being prejudiced against for their parents actions, or just because they’re in that house that people jump to conclusions and hate them regardless of what they try to do. Literally there are so many moments in the actual book series of the students hating on Harry and jumping to conclusions (wasn’t there the Parselmouth thing where they accused him of setting the snake onto this one guy- not to mention I’m pretty sure they thought he might’ve been the heir of Slytherin, even if he wasn’t in the actual house itself). I think that speaks enough of how the students think of him, and it’d likely only be worse for Slytherins.
Not that some of it isn’t deserved, but okay, look at Andromeda Tonks. She was a Slytherin, and technically was disowned due to marrying a muggle-born. And maybe that doesn’t exactly prove my point, but hey, Merlin’s apparently a Slytherin too. There can be good ones, the house doesn’t just provide Death Eaters and whatnot!
My point is.. Slytherins aren’t all that bad and I kinda think they deserved better, but what can you do when a Dark Lord who comes from Slytherin spouts blood-purist shit and was so infamous that everyone knew who he was, and seemed to mainly only attract other Slytherins to serve him??
Anyway, I’m kind of biased, I have a love for Slytherin Harry, blah blah blah. Also fuck J.K. Rowling (because someone will probably read this and think I support her just because I like her books, haha she’s never gotten my money, I read from school libraries.), we don’t support her in this household, I just like reading the fanfiction.

okay so yknow the fnaf movie
a WHILE ago i did this thing because i was bored and the fnaf movie was taking forever and i jsut remnembered it and ehusifhd

i got bored and thought of an intro sequence thing
LOOK IT WAS 3 YEARS AGO
i dont have the actual message anymore just the ss but still lmfao
ive always been trying to say this but you cant tell me that these arent similar in some way (in manga panels because i actually cant remember what episode it was so i just googled 'kirishima in kamino' and vice versa lmfao)




these two big things being the people they met along the way, at Yuuei.
Not Deku or Kacchan in their weird and convoluted 'friendship'-ish thing
but friends built on healthy bonds yayyy
also dont know about you but heres where i mention another point that iida and midoriya friendship (or relationship, whatever you wanna see it as) is a bit underrated and i dont see it that often
nothing like helping a friend in need with a good firm grip, with said person being from their friend group, someone they met at yuuei and trusted
ahhh im kind of happy for them and im going to cry my eyes out because you cant tell me someones gonna die or get injured badly (haha..)
anyway now that the seasons almost over i kind of wanted to do something but what am i meant to do ???? im kind of late to doing this i forgot. dont get me wrong, i like bakugo and midoriya friendship as much as the next guy, but damnn does it get complicated.
midoriya acknowledging that kirishima should be the one to hold a hand out instead of him, knowing bakugo would hesitate, and bakugo knowing that as much as he has things to say at that moment, backing down and leaving it to someone else (I dont know. they bring out the best in each other with a sort of rivalry i guess, to keep moving forward, but they also arent really healthy and both have problems with possibly being seen as weak, and considering their history together wouldnt be the best person to save, or help. i think that it couldve made it worse if he were the one to grab his hand, with deku feeling kind of inferior. its not something he can help. but his friendship with iida has always been no strings, of support and understanding) anyway this is where i bring my other point from another post where kacchan- 'If I'm not the strongest, I'm a weak and useless deku' deku- 'If I can't save everyone, I'm a worthless deku' which are because of their problems that came from being in aldera where aldera made deku feel worthless, and in return made bakugo feel like if he wasnt the best then he was a deku, albeit indirectly
make sense?? so therefore, if some big bakudeku fan saw this, please do not scream at me, understand that they have their own issues that make it so they wouldnt really be the greatest for that
im writing a multi-chapter fic
i found a cool song so i figured i could use it to name a few chapters over specific arc event stuff
anyway im more likely not to finish it so i dont actually care if someone steals an idea (honestly the context and notes along with each arc make more sense if you know what story it is, but HAH theres like no fanfic tags for the crossover that i have with mha besides character tags lmfao so HAVE FUN WRITING AN UNDERRATED FIC SUCKERS. ...ah.)
also manga spoilers
USJ: When I reached over to touch / your wound gently / I had realized you were ever slightly shivering
Interlude (conversations, statements, wrapping some things up): Spreading out your injured wings / after all this time
Sports Festival: With nowhere to go / your future unknown / You gaze at the sky as If you're wondering
Stain/Internships: As the meaning of “alive” / is coming to life all around / So now within my heart / I promise, on my part / That I’m here to keep you safe
Final Exam: From a faraway land comes / a chilling breeze / That is rustling through the pages of your story
Training Camp: There is a wistful glow that you wear / But hey, it’s no big deal / don’t you see?
Kamino [Deku or Kacchan? or both?]: Even if this world falls apart / I will / be always by your side / don't matter what / Anything that might be / blocking out the light
Provisional Licensing Exam: All these feelings that have turned to stone you know… / Cannot follow you into / tomorrow wherever we go
Shie Hassaikai/Work Studies (post note: REMEMBER NIGHTEYE- HE DIED. HOW DID I FORGET THAT?????): So now within my heart / I promise on my part / that I'm never going to / forget you
School Festival (Concert): As long as you know / that you’re not alone / Then you can overcome anything you see!
Pro Hero Arc (Endeavor redemption, the scar, the nomu and hawks mentioning the MLA): You are dreaming of the day / you’re once more in the sky
Joint Training Arc (SHINSOU!!! 1-A vs 1-B): And if what I say / can still find its way / There’s nothing to fear / when we are side by side
(MLA Arc, or My Villain Academia where HOLY SHTI EVERYTHING UPGRADES. but i wont show this cause this is strictly midoriya pov)
Endeavor Agency Arc (hawks drops hints, the main three take work studies, except idk if that'll still happen because logically theres no point to it. maybe work on cultivating analysis? remember that endeavor can understand deku mumble. maybe he practices more of a support role? katsuki takes a slight issue to this but deku reassures him that its fine, and that he doesn't care either way. its mainly spite that led him here.): Take as many colors from them as you can… / And paint your future just as / you had planned!
Paranormal Liberation War. ..am I really gonna do this?: I swear, ‘til I die / as long as I’m alive / I’ll be here by your side!
Dark Hero (depression) im most likely going to stop before this but how do i stop the fuck out of afo: And the bond that’s always held us close / you know… / It is stronger than you may believe / It will never let go
imagine i do a twist where the mirror world was related to all for one or something or the doctor and was a weird experiment (yknow how dabi was technically kidnapped and was in a coma for 3 years but was meant to be like a backup successor or some shit. what if... midoriya...? because he was quirkless so he must have a lot of hatred, and the fragmented memories could only strengthen that, and when he wakes up from being kidnapped during the training camp and HOLY SHIT I JUST HAD AN IDEA)
Til I’m the Only One Left Alive // Whether or Not You Hate This Me // It’s Not My Turn to Die | MHA x YTTD Fic
OR, MHA x YTTD, where Tsukimi Shin is Midoriya Izuku (Post-Death Game)
I only started this a month ago, which is.. decently not procrastinating as usual because this is fourth-riple
ITS 4K WORDS I HAVENT WRITTEN ONESHOTS THAT LONG
so considering that i usually take longer on normally 1k stuff, id have to say im proud of myself
even though the fic. i dont know if its good or not i just kinda wrote it on a whim and then it happened and it wasnt meant to be 5+1 but then it happened
i found a fic where midoriya is ranpos reincarnation
and now i have the story outline sorta of a bsd x mha.
also there are references to things and things im trying to exlpain to myself to remember later but maybe you wont and im not gonna explain that haha this is kinda influenced but i also dont wanna write fuckin dostoevsky because how the fuck do you take him down that man is probably smarter and more dangerous then afo imo?? i dont want to make the book a thing (LOOK. the manga is still in its 'what the fuck is happening this is chaos' and the stuff thats mentioned is kinda in that part?? okay so the guy with the perfect crime ability, i know thats been adapted to the anime but the manga hasnt ended, they havent figured out the actual solution to the story thats going on so also 'how the fuck am i meant to do that im so uncreative'
ahaha also the mention of a shatter thing is a reference to some other mha fic but haha go look through my bookmarks i dare you, i copied and pasted an excerpt that explained what happened with shatter. its nice. :))))
okay so just because i started a multi-chapter fic that i actually wanted to finish the next thing i know i have so many documents open with multi-chapter stories and im repeating a mistake i made that ended up with a lotta discontinued fics
instead of being kicked out of the dorms because of outing the guy at the police academy for like cheating on his s/o or whatever, he reluctantly continues and becomes a detective. the youngest ever, and the one who has ended up solving the most cold cases ever.
he becomes tsukauchis problem he is also quirkless. he was never told that he had an ability by fukuzawa-dono. but he is insanely smart, even more then nezu
hes taught by the law enforcement there that not everyone knows what he does, so its important to point things out
ranpo doesnt have much skill in protecting himself, but his knowledge lets him predict some things, as a faux foresight. he gets bested by a new organization (The LOV? except they have more power, and recruit Mushiro Fushiguro or whats its name, the guy with the Perfect Crime ability. Ranpo got involved in the investigation against the LOV. Someone is killed as a threat, and right before his eyes all the evidence is gone, and he has that feeling that something is missing. ..Ah. It's threatening him not to go any further. He does.), and tsukauchi gets hurt, therefore the police department is deemed too risky and is moved to the custody of one Aizawa Shouta. (ofc, erasermic, and shinsou is there) He ends up shadowing Aizawa at his job, having already graduated, and technically class a's senpai.
on the meanwhile, the investigation team collaborates with the Armed Detective Agency from Yokohama, noting the existence of an Ability User they had been chasing down, having been able to figure out that the murder of a certain Mystery novel writer had been in close-ish contact with a man with an ability. 'Perfect Crime'.
like lady nagant, the guy fuckin DIES after they find him and have an encounter and ends up regretting it (because of course ranpo figures it out) but not after giving a very ominous message
they go to the summer camp, ranpo as an honorary member, and trusting in his teammates, gets kidnapped instead in place of bakugo.
afo is interested in the self-proclaimed greatest detective, the youngest one in fact. ranpo feels threatened. he wants him. needs those strategic smarts, but knows that Ranpo would never. Instead, he would make it so Ranpo could never help the other side. He shatters him. for once, his intuition fails him. his teammates are too late.
He was scared. (this is what he gets for being reckless all the time. almost suicidal with how much trust he puts in his colleagues to make it in time.)
think of yosano after she exploded the thing and was all depressed and unreacting.
before this, he meets shinsou at aizawa's place. he bluntly questions why shinsou hasnt used his mindreading. shinsou: what?? aizawa: what have i told you about people not understanding some things? stop being so blunt. ranpo: blink blink oh. Hey Shinsou, did you know that logically you should be able to mind read someone while you're brainwashing them- well actually, its more like you're putting them to sleep, but in a state of sleepwalking, y'know? so their mind is still kinda active and registering things that they're seeing in dreams, and you can interact with them that way and their mind would be much easier to see and read because you're kind of.. in their brain? shinsou: … I CAN DO WHAT NOW? aizawa: ..Ranpo.
shinsou reaches out to ranpo. his eyes stay in their shattered shape but he can see after hes free.
ranpo learns to be less hesitant, but is still paranoid.
