@tepid brook I've been inspired by your own thread for your musical, so I shamelessely copied the idea

tepid brook
#

Ooh cool!! I loved the volume 1

obtuse lintel
#

I've got some drafts for chapter one of Volume 2, if you're interested in reading them

tepid brook
#

Sure!

obtuse lintel
#

Let's see if Wattpad drafts work

#

Nope

#

There you go

tepid brook
#

yay

obtuse lintel
#

This time I'm writing the entire volume at the same time, whenever I get a good idea, I just put it in the draft before actually writing it

obtuse lintel
#

I've updated (and released!) chapter one, as well as reworked Chapter Two, it's all in the Docs if you want to check it out

obtuse lintel
#

Hey @tepid brook have you read some of the drafts so far?

tepid brook
obtuse lintel
#

What do you think?

obtuse lintel
#

Chapter Two is out

tepid brook
#

Anyways

#

I think it's really good; I felt like Recovery girl was an underused character canonically; I feel like how you utilized her character with Osore was very unique and awesome! Bc like not many writers do that

obtuse lintel
#

I had the exact same thought lol

#

I wanted to give the caring old lady some love

#

She reminds me of my grandmother in some ways

#

Hey @tepid brook I'm about to start writing Chapter three, and I need a new character to play Cyberstan. DO you have an OC to lend me for a cameo?

# obtuse lintel Hey <@1431121336226545774> I'm about to start writing Chapter three, and I need ...
obtuse lintel
#

That's a great idea, but do you mind if I rework some aspects of the character?

#

She can't be a vigilante she needs to be a U.A student

#

Tho I'll try to stay as faithful as possible to her personnality and quirk

tepid brook
#

Yup no worries! I don't mind

obtuse lintel
#

I forgot about Colorization it's such a great concept

tepid brook
#

tysm!

obtuse lintel
# tepid brook tysm!

I've had an idea about your ramen event participation, why don't you include Iroha too, to tie in your universe instead of AFO

tepid brook
obtuse lintel
#

Oh, so you'll shorten to 3 chapters?

tepid brook
#

Yup

#

I procrastinated too much at the start…

obtuse lintel
#

You've still got time tho

#

It ends on tuesday

tepid brook
#

I’m traveling to France rn (yayy your country) so I don’t really have time to write AHHHHH

obtuse lintel
#

Oh really? Where are you going?

tepid brook
obtuse lintel
#

You’re going to love it

#

I live near Paris

#

Hey @tepid brook I just got an idea for a villain in the fanfic, I'd like your opinion

obtuse lintel
#

I'm still in the process of writing it but so far I established fan pages made by students and one gains traction and popularity outside of U.A

#

"Throughout the year, fan pages began forming around U.A.'s students.
The most famous one — U.A.'s Finest — even started gaining traction beyond campus.
Every shot was deliberate. Impossible angles. Moments captured mid-motion, sometimes frighteningly close to live exercises. A lot of Bibimi's popularity is also from U.A's Finest.

No one knew who ran it.

Rumors claimed the admin's quirk was invisibility.

*At the same time, another young mind understands that their quirk is not a curse, thanks to U.A's Finest. The page promotes heroic values, show the future faces of the Hero Society years before they even make it out of school. It's a page that celebrates, encourages and gives spotlight. *

Every post looks like it's encapsulating a shard of U.A's light and hope, while never sounding cheesy. It's always a simple description : the student's name and class, where the picture was taken, and sometimes even a caption.

It's unbearable.

#

And this is where I want to switch to the villain, but I don't know yet if I want him to hate heroes from the start or hate the fact that they get popular because they're at U.A and he never got the chance to enter

Draft for chapter three done

#

Might post it later after re reading it

obtuse lintel
#

@tepid brook I'm cooking so hard

#

I had the idea to have Osore become the Symbol of Order by reusing All Might's "Next, it's your turn"

#

When AFO breaks out of Tartarus and stikes Japanese prisons Osore goes to Musutafu's detention center to fight back while everyone is fleeing (Jaku and Dabi's revelations happened 48h before)

#

When he gets there, the vilain he helped capture (and got expelled for) just killed a guard, so he kills him out of fear and rage, but he's caught by a news drone camera. And instead of fleeing, he stares at the camera and says the line

#

The footage goes viral, the internet renames him Terminus, the Symbol of Order

obtuse lintel
#

Also, visual examples of Osore's quirk

obtuse lintel
#

Hey @tepid brook I've had Osore meet All Might and explain why he named himself Bond (with a hint of Biblical references on the side) I think you might like it, it's written in chapter 5 of the drafts

tepid brook
#

Osore’s characterization is clean and consistent, and I love the grandfather lore and how it ties back to his hero name 'Bond'! I feel like you're really strong at characterizations overall. Love the ticking clock motif as well. Maybe the book about the shepard could be mentioned more directly bc I'm sorry but the first thing I could think of was The Little Prince 😭

obtuse lintel
#

I'm glad you saw that, it's a way of making sure it's not obvious

#

And open to interpretation

#

Thanks for the kinds words, I took a pause to finish things IRL but I'm back on working on this

tepid brook
obtuse lintel
#

I wanted your opinion because you're a huge All Might fan

tepid brook
#

I think AM also had really strong characterization

#

especially the line “Your arrogance was just confidence poorly translated into words.”

obtuse lintel
#

Yeah I wanted him observant not just a big goof

tepid brook
obtuse lintel
#

But I also tried to dress up a lot of exposition

tepid brook
#

So I just decided to kill him as soon as the story started in mine lol
