Literally Thought This The Entire Time I Was Suffering Through Season One, Just "I Would Actually Enjoy

Literally thought this the entire time I was suffering through season one, just "I would actually enjoy this setting and these characters if the story was about this middle aged man juggling being a hilariously out of touch "how do you do, fellow kids" teacher with being the most badass superhero to ever exist. Show me Toshinori trying to incorporate memes into his lessons- and using the most cringeworthy ones possible- interspersed with the most hardcore fight scenes ever animated!"

Basically what I wanted was the SWE's Abridged MHA, but with All Might as the main character. But what I got was... *shudders in disgust* NOT that.

bnha would be 9999x better as  a slice of life comedy centering around the teachers literally the #1 hero in the fucking world starts working at a highschool surrounded by coworkers that GREW UP LOOKING UP TO HIM and one of them JUST HATES HIM TO HIS FACE even though he ADMIRES HIM BEHIND HIS BACK and he gave his power to some random kid WITH A HAIR its fucking FUNNY!!!!!! THIS IS ONLY MEANT TO BE FUNNY WHY does it go SO  ‘ohh im deep..im epic..this is an epic deep story’ shut up bitch show me all might get ipad

it might just be because im sleep deprived from jetlag rn but this r/relationship_advice post is making me cry actual tears of laughter. i read the post at first and was like yeah pretty standard whatever but im nosey so i clicked on the drawing op linked and i was not mentally prepared for it. putting it under a read more so you can get the same experience as i did

“writing fanfics is something I do in my free time for fun. I will not treat it like a job and will instead treat it like a hobby because that’s what it is.”

also how it feels being a fanfic writer:

man this piece of media i like that's bad and sucks would be so cool and awesome if it wasnt bad and didnt suck. unfortunately,

What's with the hop-step in this corner you do?

We've got the whole world for our little one-two

One little crash is the start of something new

So I'll just enjoy becoming one with you

With a poof and hurrah, we'll just disappear

I bet no one will even notice that we're not here

We've said goodbye, but it's so amazing

That the world is ending with a--

The fic is done, the (actual) cover image is done (and would have been done a lot sooner had my lappy not started fucking up). It's not exactly what I had in mind, but the problem is, I don't know what I had in mind. Art's been hard for me, lately, but this gets the basic vibes across and that's the most I can hope for.

I still wanna finish this fic- I was working on it for almost 4 years, I just hate Attack on Titan so much after that goddamn ending...! (Wet Pants Eren will haunt me for the rest of my days; I refuse to watch that be animated) I have the ending completely plotted out down to the last lines, there's just one fucking speedbump in my way!

But anyway, if you're ever bored and want to waste several days reading about Erwin Smith's almost two decade-long journey from military cadet to the greatest military asset in Paradis' history (complete with a romantic subplot that burns so slow it takes over 30 chapters for the idiots to say "I love you", the concept of minority races within the Walls having more of an impact on the story than just another thing to make Mikasa special, actual plot relevance given to the state-mandated genocide of a quarter of the population, the struggles of refugees and the poor, and the fact that Paradis is an oligarchal police state where people are routinely executed for wrongthink, the actual struggles of dealing with disabilities in pre-Victorian low fantasy setting y'know, instead of amputation being treated as a cosmetic change, and the grueling misery of maintaining a long-distance relationship prior to the advent of fast and reliable long-distance communication) this is the story for you!

(Seriously, i bought "Wings of Freedom" for this fic because I needed to know what places like Trost and Shiganshina looked like from street level. The game is fun as hell, but i didn't buy it for fun; i bought it for research. This level of brainrot this fic induced in me is unreal.)
