I wish I identified with Kuroo Tetsurou more because my hair sure does look like his when I need a haircut and that would probably make for a more accurate icon but I’m sorry it’s Izuku or Tobio or no one.
I hope you hate this as much as I do.

i cant remember if this has been talked about before, but will izuku be getting an animal guide? in atla all the avatars have one, and its usually an animal they met and bonded with when they were young, but izukus situation is quite different. though i understand if this isnt something you plan on including! i was just a but curious!
It has not, though I have thought about it a lot. The short answer is that Izuku will not be receiving an animal companion in Unbent, partially because of Tomura and partially because I ended up having to cut my original plans for the animal companion.
Long answer:
In my original outline during Izuku’s first long term dream walk in chapters five and six one of the things that happened was that Izuku would form a spiritual bond with his animal companion’s spirit and then his animal companion would find him sometime in the next few chapters.
However, as I was notating the details of the previous three Avatars, all who will be relevant at least once, one of the things I was finalizing was the animal companions. It was during this time that I realized that the details of Tomura’s, uh, special life kind of ruined any chance of him having an animal companion properly (details of which will be explain in future chapters of Unbent). It’s already been stated in an earlier chapter of Unbent that Tomura’s death nearly killed the Avatar Spirit and after thinking it over I thought that perhaps the Avatar’s spiritual connection to their animal guide might have been damaged.
As I was thinking it over I was editing the outline and I realized that as far as flow and length went the animal companion was kind of in the way. I didn’t have much planned for the companion besides existing as I wanted to focus on the human interactions so it kinda felt unnecessary. I talked it over with Dory, both the oddness of Tomura’s life and the problem with animal guide plotting, and we decided to omit the companion completely.
So yeah, that’s the story about how how a giant sabertooth wolfcat got removed from Unbent. Sorry to disappoint anyone.
mayday mayday I’m being attacked on two fronts shkdjfhkskhdfjk
friend who lives hundreds of miles away: yes
In this house we love and appreciate the Eldritch Fam dnd group
So the party has been saying that they’re going to go do a specific thing for about three or four sessions and they’re working their way toward that particular goal. And of course, because this was the “declared” direction, I’ve spent several hours off and on since last session prepping and making sure the resulting encounter(s) were ready to go and suitably dramatic.
Naturally, in standard D&D fashion, as soon as we started the session everyone unanimously and without prior discussion decided that instead of doing the thing they’ve been working towards, they’d all head off in the opposite direction on a whim.
Nobody died, but they did confirm that the island they’re stranded on is definitely haunted, the dice foresook everyone, someone smashed the floor out from under themselves and fell into a nest of ghouls, and the party found 1300 gold pieces in a box that I almost decided was a mimic (but we didn’t have time for that encounter) along with a scroll of raise dead that they may or may not have ruined by handling it while soaking wet.
I was the person who smashed the floor out from under myself. Tiff’s got a great big axe and they’re not afraid to use it.
So I heard @pine-apple-chan s bday happened !!!!!!
I was feelin another group shot I guess :>

I forgot how much fun the eldritch fam is to draw feat. Large Wyrm, Overpowe- I mean @ientaculum and @pine-apple-chan!!!!
Listen here u eldritch demigod we need to have a talk about nerfing you (Bonus @talkativelock watchin the fireworks)
Hey Awesome Taco! For the record, Wyrm is way cooler than me. I'm way worse with words and thinking of things to say to you every night. I know it's not a contest, but also I feel a challenge has been issued and I stand by being the least awesome of the three of us. Anyway, you're great and I am going to stop doing this at 1 AM because that's apparently when my brain shuts off the "interesting content" tab and reverts to "random noises/letters become words, right?" Have a great day!
Aa no don’t fight! You’re both clearly cooler than me. After all, you make me smile on a daily basis. I make my living by making people forget their problems for a short time just with words so I can definitively say you both do an amazing job at it. It’s an important thing, a smile. I’m so lucky to get them from you so often.
Oh boy, 1am is very early/late. I hope you went to sleep after and that you got lots of rest, my awesome friend~! Don’t worry about your content, though. Even if your brain produces something nonsensical I do love hearing your thoughts~
I hope you slept well and that today is going great for you, my awesome friend~ I am quite lucky to get messages from you so often and I appreciate every one~
strUCK DOWN IN MY WEAKENED SICK STATE
(Apologies for hijacking your ask, soft author!!)
Long long man, tododeku au thank u locko
I hate you all.
Alright, please enjoy this:
but TodoDeku.
That man is here.
He’s stupidly beautiful and Izuku hates him. He hates him with everything he’s got. Izuku hates his beautiful face, his long legs, his striking hair, his fit body, and his long Sakeru gummy. Most of all he hates how much he understands Ochako’s obsession with him. Ochako, his fiance, who is currently staring at the man with the long Sakeru gummy with open adoration despite it being their wedding day.
“Todoroki-kun,” Ochako calls, turning around in the aisle and running back towards the church doors that Todoroki just entered through. “I knew you would come.”
Todoroki says nothing, he just stands there with his bouquet of long Sakeru gummies looking delicious. The gummies, not Todoroki. Though Todoroki does look delicious.
If Izuku wasn’t in public he’d slap himself. He needs to get it together.
Izuku forces his feet to move, chasing Ochako down the aisle to Todoroki. “Ocha!”
Ochako ignores Izuku.
“I’ve been thinking about this day for a long time,” Ochako says, stopping next to Todoroki. She grins up at him. “Ever since, well, you know…” She trails off, blushing a little. Izuku’s gut reaction is jealousy but not of Todoroki. He’s instantly jealous of Ochako over Todoroki.
What Izuku wouldn’t give to…
Wait, no, what is he thinking? He’s marrying Ochako, his best friend in the world. He loves her, her really does, so why does he feel so drawn to Todoroki and his long Sakeru gummies?
Izuku stops just behind Ochako. “Ochako, please.”
Ochako turns to him. She’s smiling, she’s glowing. She looks so overjoyed.
“Deku-kun, I’m sorry. Please don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.”
Izuku’s chest aches. He clutches at it. Ochako is going to go with Todoroki, leaving Izuku with nothing. “Ochako…”
Todoroki open his mouth. “I, uh,” he looks at Ochako and she beams at him, nodding her encouragement. “I think you’re beautiful.”
He steps forward once, twice, past Ochako. Izuku stares as Todoroki comes to a standstill in front of him, his bouquet of long Sakeru gummies cradled in the crook of his elbow. Izuku stares up at him, he’s so tall, and his mouth falls open.
“Me?” He squeaks. His face starts to burn.
Todoroki nods. “Ever since I first saw you.”
Izuku thinks back to the first time he and Ochako saw Todoroki in the park. He looked good in a sharp business suit, tearing his long Sakeru gummy in one smooth movement. He thought he saw Todoroki glance their way. At the time he assumed it was a trick of the light.
Or that time at the zoo when they spotted him across the way, tearing another long Sakeru gummy as if it was easy. They made eye contact, Izuku and Todoroki, and Izuku had turned away with flame in his cheeks and a pounding heart. Ochako had been enamoured.
“What about that time you and Ochako…” Izuku flounders, feeling embarrassed. His whole family is here, and Ochako’s too. They’re all watching. He doesn’t know if he can say it. “In Ochako’s apartment…”
“We just talked,” Ochako says, sliding up to Izuku’s side and grabbing his arm. She squeezes. “I told you that.”
Izuku blanches. “Yeah, but I didn’t believe you. How could you be alone with a guy who looks like this and not-” Izuku breaks off, remembering himself. He looks back to Todoroki, his face so hot he might die.
Todoroki looks stunned, his lips slightly parted and his eyes a bit wide. He’s a bit pink around the edges. Izuku’s blush deepens.
“Sorry.”
“It’s fine,” Todoroki rushes out, his deep and smooth voice a little breathless.
Ochako leans up and pecks a kiss to Izuku’s cheek. “We talked about you, actually.”
Izuku is going to die. His mouth works uselessly in the air. Ochako leans back away, grinning a devilish grin.
Todoroki steps a little closer. “I don’t want to pressure you. We don’t have to do anything. I just wanted you to know how I feel.”
“How you feel?” Izuku’s voice is a bit high pitched and strangled.
Todoroki nods. “I like you.”
Izuku can’t say anything. His mouth doesn’t work. Todoroki is staring at him, drinking him in with his eyes, and Izuku is going to melt into a puddle of a person in the middle of this church. Todoroki is so beautiful in his tux with his Sakeru gummy bouquet. Izuku can only stare back at him with his heart beating out a loud rhythm in his chest.
Slowly Todoroki blinks. “It’s fine.”
Izuku wants to scream. Todoroki turns away and heads for the doors.
His back looks so sad.
Finally Izuku’s legs and mouth work. “Wait!”
Izuku runs the few steps between them, stumbling to a stop right in Todoroki’s personal space as Todoroki turns back around. Todoroki’s eyebrows lift.
“I, we, I mean, can I, uh,” Izuku stumbles around, red faced and nervous. Todoroki watches him, patient and expectant. “Do you mind if I, uh, touch..” Izuku trails off and gestures at the Sakeru gummies.
Todoroki’s expression softens. He reaches out wordlessly and take Izuku’s hand, his skin soft on Izuku’s callouses. He slowly lifts it until it slides along the Sakeru packaging.
Izuku is so red. Is this inappropriate? It feels inappropriate. Todoroki’s eyes are dark and he squeezes Izuku’s hand over the Sakeru gummies.
“Todoroki-kun,” Izuku says. He’s not sure what he intends to follow that up with, maybe something about the fact that they’re in public, but before he can say anything Todoroki takes Izuku’s hand from the Sakeru gummies and uses it to pull him forward into a kiss.
Somewhere behind Izuku Ochako is squealing in delight and someone is applauding. Izuku puts that all out of his mind as he grips Todoroki’s hand back with one hand and grabs Todoroki’s tux with the other to kiss Todoroki back.
He doesn’t hate Todoroki after all.
