Azula Is At Her Best When She's Stalin-pilled Purge-maxxing. Quit Coping With Some Boo-hoo Sob Story

Azula is at her best when she's Stalin-pilled purge-maxxing. Quit coping with some boo-hoo sob story to deny her this in your AUs or whatever the fuck. Let her be the force of nature that she is. Too many of you make her into this flimsy wet paper bag and it's cursed.

*pops out of vent* Ask and you shall receive (or well. I really fucking wanted to write it and couldn’t stop myself until the story said “stop now bitch”)

It is KINDA MID just warning but like. Man. MIRAI. My guy. Was incredibly fun to write, even if it is incredibly bleak

Sir Nighteye origins

There's like frightening little about Sir and I just kind of can't kill the plot bunny in my head of a young Nighteye having been rejected from all sorts of hero schools and agencies just because like a foresight quirk that isn't super specific probably isn't seen as particularly useful at first or versatile and a school like UA would absolutely not accept a student with that kind of non-physical quirk. I don't think Nighteye went to UA as a hero student if at all.

But like the other detail is that Nighteye kept asking and asking All Might to be a sidekick and like I really REALLY can't kill the idea of a young Nighteye not within the heroics industry accidentally stumbling into All for One's web of secrets and lies and uncovering this pattern of quirks vanishing and quirkiness people going missing and turning up dead and with quirks and this one mysterious string of heroes that rose at similar times as the prominence of those incidents and the connections between them all and then trying SO FUCKING HARD to get All Might to know that he knew and All Might just not fucking getting that this random fucko who keeps showing up and asking to help him is smarter than he thought.

Anyway my point is that I'm writing this fic IMMEDIATELY because I need this in my life. And Sir Nighteye will be trans because I want him to be.

Hello world

I'm so incredibly normal about things I promise.

I find it kind of funny people still don’t think All for One had a tragic backstory cause, well, he did.

I get it, though. People believe that if a character has a tragic backstory, you’re supposed to feel sympathy for THE character or that the backstory excuses that character’s actions.

It doesn’t.

All for One’s backstory IS tragic because of what All for One COULD have been.

That’s the point. Even Yoichi states it.

AFO had the greatest Quirk of all time. He could have done so much good with it, but that didn’t happen.

This was because of multiple factors:

-Born with only each other in the gutter.

-Quirk activated in the womb. His urges already manifested. The “arrogance” and believing “everything belonged to him”.

-No parental figures at all

-A tumultuous time when society was collapsing

-Hunted and looked down upon as less than human if anyone looked at them at all.

-Living in the slums

-Having to scrap, steal, and kill to survive. To eat.

-Having the first escape from all this terribleness be ratty comic books

-Having no goal, no purpose, until the comic books. Until Yoichi decided on his.

-Comic books set in a world of black & white morality. Confusing them into believing this is reality.

There’s more, but this is a quick list.

ALL of that is why All for One ended up the way he is.

Others state in the epilogue that the state of society after the war is like it was when Quirks first manifested. That it’s the same kind of world that CREATED All for One.

Yoichi says he couldn’t steer his brother down the right path, but that alone means there WERE paths.

But everything was set up perfectly to create a monster.

It IS tragic. Tragic because of what could have been.

All for One thought number too many

I feel like he would really enjoy being associated with that one Mamet quote

you know the one. "old age and treachery will always overcome youth and exuberance"

It just seems like his kind of thing. I feel like he’d have a giggle saying that to an OFA holder. Maybe even a chortle
