Q. A. B. (cont.)

Summary

Things Izuku's cult does while he still thinks it's just a joke:
• starts an internet war
• coordinates an IRL convention
• gets a teenager arrested
• royally pisses off a major hero agency
• helps start a Twitter account for the League of Villains

And then there's the murder.

Notes

this fic (still) uses custom skins. you may need to click the Show Creator's Style button at the top of the web page to view as intended.

"as intended" is: light mode for android phones. last time i tried to make it look okay-ish on PC but this time?? sorry, no. maybe... squish your browser to half width or smth.

(title WAS a working title but now im attached so we all get to live like this forever.)

changelog:

[9/26/22]
made a bunch of QoL updates. please let me know if anything ever seems off, one time i posted updates for chapter 5 to chapter 6 and then i just had chapter 5 twice and i was so, so lucky that a friend happened to catch it before anyone else did

[11/19/22]
ao3 retroactively nerfed some random lines of code and im still scrambling to figure out why. this is causing a majority of the twitter sections to lay incorrectly. they were fine when i posted them, they were fine months after that, and now theyre not fine? idk. idk??? i am at a total loss. i think ive fixed most of them now, but who knows if that fix will stick. thanks so much to the user who pointed this out to me 🙏🙏

[2/22/23]
the issue above nearly took be out bc it kept coming back but i eventually figured it out. ive got a fix and it's applied to the later chapters. ill patch the early chapters at some point.

[6/5/23]
turned the changelog into a details view lol

[7/14/23]
updated the majority of the twitter sections to match the updated twitter skin

[7/17/23]
retroactively added heavier foreshadowing for certain plot points. writing is a learning process

You thought if you deleted all the logs, I wouldn't find out? Read
16:10
haha whaaaat find out about what im not hiding anything 16:21 How could you have been so irresponsible? It's a miracle those untrained teenagers, those CIVILIANS, made it out safely. Read
16:23
woah hold up, you're calling me irresponsible? the heroes knew where the kid was for almost 2 days, did nothing, and us saving the kid is the irresponsible part?? 16:24 I was fine when it was little stuff, the community helping one another out, getting cats from trees, that sort of thing. But this? This is straight up premeditated vigilantism with a side of contributing to the delinquency of minors, PLUS obstruction of justice. Read
16:25
You can't ENCOURAGE MINORS to BREAK THE LAW. Read
16:25
okay so 16:28 when you put it like that 16:28 but what was i suppose to do? let a kid stay kidnapped? 16:28 Oh I don't know Kouichi, that's a hard one: what about NOT BREAK THE LAW Read
16:28
... 16:28 you do know that we MET because i have a problem following the rules, right 16:28 I'm still mad, but I'll concede that you have a point. Read
16:28
im not just going to stop helping people, or telling others to stop helping people. that's not who i am. 16:28 and i dont think thats who you are, either 16:28 im not trying to fight with you, im honestly asking: what do you want me to do? 16:30 How about compromise? Read
16:34
again, im not TRYING to be contrary, but i dont really see a compromise between 'dont break the law' and 'im gonna break the law' 16:34

HEY HALF N HALF I KNOW you had something to do with that cluster fuck with Stain at Kamino Tell me what it is and maybe I won't blast your face off I'm assuming this is Bakugou? I don't know what you're talking about And if I did, I wouldn't tell you why the HELL NOT? you planning to hold it over my head the REST OF MY LIFE? No. If I told you then I'd have to kill you. Which would be a shame, considering. considering WHAT? You're not getting it. If I told you, then I'd have to kill you. I will find out what you did and I will TEAR YOU TO SHREDS WITH MY TEETH Okay Good luck you think you're FUNNY PRETTY BOY? OH, IT'S ON No? What's on

hello and welcome to #tikka-masala. only those with the illustrious "true bro" role can view this channel, and new "true bro"s will be added upon personal referral only. we've created this channel to handle the more delicate requests that come in via #curry. access to this channel is limited to people who know what they're doing and aren't at risk of "ratting us out", so to speak. we are NOT advocating for vigilantism (because that would be illegal), but we're not going to stop helping people in need. hopefully this channel can be used to settle things CALMLY, PROFESSIONALLY, and MOSTLY LEGALLY.

Shouto Today at 18:24
I remember you mentioned you were taking a lot of biology classes, would you mind if I asked you a question?

Shuttai Today at 18:30
Not at all!!

Shouto Today at 18:35
My teacher told us today that red hair was a dominant gene. But my father has red hair, and my siblings both have my mother's hair color. Is there such a thing as one gene being more dominant than the other?

Shuttai Today at 18:36
Oh, that's a good question. Is there any mixing of the color? Like, is the hair entirely your mother's color?

Shouto Today at 18:36
No, there's some red mixed in

Shuttai Today at 18:36
Hmmm interesting, it might be a case of incomplete dominance?
I'm on my way home from school right now, but I have some diagrams in last semester's text book I can send you in a bit

uugghhhhh so okay
i know as a small start up we can't just do big flashy events all the time but come on!! if no one knows who we are, we'll go under before we even have a chance to make a splash!!! we'll die a pathetic whimpering death and no one will even notice!!! UGH
YOU STARTED OUT SO COOL, WHY ARE YOU SO LAME NOW 😴😴🤨😩 😠😠😠 ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Swann Today at 10:20
So you want them to do more promo events? Advertising?

✦✮✦༻Blood Love༺✦✮✦ Today at 10:21
yeah, something like that
i mean we gotta do SOMETHING before people just FORGET ABOUT US 😢☠️
my boss was WAY more daring before, but we just botched a project and now i think he's scared of what could go wrong if we try again?? that or the Big Boss told him no again 🙄😒😔
😢 2

bluenoise | the blueiest Today at 10:21
have you asked him?

✦✮✦༻Blood Love༺✦✮✦ Today at 10:21
lolol no we're not big on healthy communication styles, he'd probably just flip out and start yelling if i tried to ask
that or murder me 🙃

bluenoise | the blueiest Today at 10:23
😬😬😬
sounds awful, why don't you jump ship now? get out, get a new job before this one goes bankrupt

Swann Today at 10:26
I'm with Blue on this one

✦✮✦༻Blood Love༺✦✮✦ Today at 10:28
mmm yea ive considered it but this place could be so fun!! it's the first place ive really felt like i could be *myself*, yanno? 😣😥😔

bluenoise | the blueiest Today at 10:29
hmm yeah that's tough
1
is there anything you can do on your own that could help with promotion? nothing too big or that would get you into trouble with your boss, but like... running a company twitter? idk if you boss would give permission for something like that though

✦✮✦༻Blood Love༺✦✮✦ Today at 10:29
:000
hmmmmmmmm 🤔 i think he'd say it was "😒 super lame, sounds like something a normie would do" buuuut i could just run one on my own?? if i get fired, i get fired lol. and if they don't appreciate my efforts for them then GOOD RIDDANCE 😤 😤 🎉

Swann Today at 10:29
Haha I like your attitude

bluenoise | the blueiest Today at 10:29
that's the spirit!! as long as you don't post anything inappropriate or that would hurt your company's image I don't see how your boss could be mad about it

Chapter End Notes

important:
- i have become extremely busy irl and the time i have available for writing/html black magic wizardry is now very limited :( not to mention i'll be spending 80% of it on hawks centric stuff
- - (like my other multi-chapter fic (secret identities! murder! platonic soulmates! gratuitous amounts of himiko!))
- that being said, the rough draft of QAB2 is already more words than the entirety of QAB1 haha kill me
- for everyone who asked me to teach them html: i am. not going to do that. but i DO have a github page with examples. if you use the code, please give proper credit.
not important:
- YES HELLO WELCOME BACK
- I ALSO DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE ME BACK HERE
- i took a break to try an exorcise hawks from my soul but as you'll see shortly it didn't work at all so instead you get 20-50% more hawks, dont @ me
- it's been a while, so remember: shuttai = izuku, rai = denki, blood love = ...did i ever say? if you don't already know then its funnier if i dont tell you, soho2 = dabi (in case you missed it). everyone else either doesnt matter or is using their real/hero name.
- also REMEMBER THE VIGILANTE CROWD IS HERE: koichi (crawler), kazuho (pop☆step), Iwao (knuckleduster), aaaannnd also tsukauchi's sister makoto shows up for a second.
- this formatting could have been about 20% cooler if AO3 didn't see perfectly good code and kick in the face before rendering it, but its fine. the world wasn't ready for that level of awesome
- but AO3 if you could take 2 seconds out of your day to NOT spit on the line formatting, THAT WOULD BE STELLAR. i swear i am this close to opening up yet another support ticket.
- i had to look at QAB the og a few times for plot continuity and my god its so ugly to me now but i already miss the simplicity
- i rewrote my entire workskin file because by the end of QAB it was huge/unwieldy and ugly. it took me a *very long time* but my code is now ~human readable~ so thats neat
- well, assuming "neat" means "it is now over a thousand lines of code"
- HOPE YOU'RE EXCITED, BECAUSE I AM

Quirk Analysis #43: Fear Mongering

Sorry there's only one this week, but let's get right down to it!

This is a fascinating concept, because what if the other functions of the amygdala can be triggered as well? If the [...]

In Japan's federal prison, 82% of all incarcerated individuals did not finish high school, and a study from 20X1 shows high schools are more likely to deny gap year students [...]

First Ever "Quirkless" Convention

BY TSUDA CHINATSU
Updated: Aug. 23, 20X4 at 7:28 PM



The name of this convention alone is enough to raise eyebrows. "Quirkless" Con (or "QCon", as it's being marketed) is the first ever of its kind: A convention for quirkless, by quirkless. According to Otoba Yukie, co-organizer of QCon, interest for such a convention has spiked considerably as the popular internet blog "Q. A. B." continues to bring up culturally sensitive matters like job placement disparity and the comparatively high suicide rates in individuals diagnossed as "quirkless".

"We want to make this clear," said Otoba in a recent interview, "this is not an offline meeting for Q. A. B. While it is true that Q. A. B. helped inspire the creation of this convention, and many of the founders are fans, we don't want to make this about Q. A. B. We want to use this convention to raise awareness to the issues quirkless people face in their day to day lives."

When asked about the legality of disallowing quirked individuals into a publicly funded event, Otoba had this to say: "We're not keeping quirked people out, we're just asking that quirks not be the focus of discussion. We want to focus on the strengths and uniqueness in individuals outside of their quirks. We are accepting of all who wish to attend, but our hope is to create a comfortable space of growth and comradery for those who feel weighed down by the abundance of quirks both in their lives and in media. That's what QCon is all about."

The convention is set for September 26, and will include resume building workshops, quirkless activism discussions, mental health awareness panels.

More information can be found at QCon's official website, www.qcon20X4.jp.

Chapter End Notes

i always think these notes will be shorter than they turn out:
- the website i linked was made by PoppinBoppin (and i claim no credit or responsibility for it 💕)
- BOY OH BOY DO I HATE WRITING NEWS ARTICLES something about the type of language just makes me so tired and annoyed, i'd never make it in journalism
- heads up, i think i might have to go full throttle dabihawks bc of a single joke my beta made that i cant stop laughing over. but also maybe i wont bc ugh, effort
- there are possibly no residential ovens in tokyo okay, i know, dont @ me
- im not 100% sure on the date i just threw out for qcon, so dont mind me if i quietly change it later shhhh i bet you dont even remember which date it was, its fine, just pretend it was always this way
- - (what the hell was i thinking, put in a convention on a wednesday?? jeez.)
- i know i talked about my plans for qab2 in the past but i changed my mind about some things so when you're wrong about some plot points that i told you were going to happen... dont get mad, okay...
- discord?? excuse me, why did you?? change the colors of things again???
- i wouldn't have even noticed except i was tweaking the format and looking at the app and was like... wait... thats... a darker shade of blue......... why
- but also i would like you to know that this happens CONSTANTLY, twitter or discord will push an update that slightly changes the colors or minutely shifts an element to the right and literally NO ONE NOTICES but it makes my life a living hell. discord, please. i am writing a fanfic.

[Excerpt from the transcription of an interview performed by Indie-Pendants on August 22, 20X4]

 

 

"H-hello, excuse me! Mister, uh, Stain? It is you, isn't it? You are the vigilante known as 'Stain', aren't you?" "Who's asking?" "Oh, I'm, we're an independent media outlet, and um, we wanted to, uh, maybe ask? You, that is—" "Get to the point." "Well, we were wondering if you had any opinions on Q. A. B?" "Q. A. B.? You mean those feisty vigilante kids? They should keep it up, they're doing All Might's work." [loud whisper, close to the microphone] "Is that like 'God's work' but with All Might?" [quieter whisper, further from the microphone] "Shut up, Gary!" "Um, one more question, Mr. Stain, if you don't mind?" "Make it quick." "How about Prelude? Many consider him to be radical, but others are calling him 'the next Darwin'. Do you have a stance?" "Who?"

Okay so it was actually amazing he was so nice I can't believe it I was so sure his public persona was just that, a persona for the media, but it's NOT he's so NICE and he just let me rant at him about quirk science for an hour and then he let me watch him use his quirk up close and this was probably the best day I've ever had and I could die happy??

Chapter End Notes

this chapter was originally part of ch2 but it was so long that i chop-chopped it:
- we are heading down a slight tododeku hill, can be read as platonic. i won't be tagging for it, but thought you might want to know
- i highkey wish i had more time/had my life together because its 8/25,,, the same date as in the fic,,,, i could be posting this like it was real time, is all im saying, but qab is too time intensive for that. oh well.
- i almost got away scot free in this chapter and it was feeling magical and also too good to be true and then i found a timestamp floating in the middle of nowhere. ao3, i promise im properly closing my span tags, why do you keep deleting them
- you know what else i wish ao3 would do? not put the 'edit' button for the workskin at the bottom of the page. every single edit, i have to scroll past 1200 lines and the file is only growing in length. ...i make a lot of edits.
- i made a change to a class thats used literally everywhere. i was looking at it, squinting, thinking, "...why are you like that?" and i still don't know but i changed it anyway. i sure hope that decision doesnt come back to bite me.
- im so very glad the hawks fan discord got to make a reappearance. i love those guys.

You met Shouto, right? Did he seem... normal?

crawler Today at 05:19
mmm
we didnt stick around to chat but i mean yeah, for a given degree of "normal"

Shuttai Today at 05:25
I know he said he was a classmate of Kacchan's, but sometimes he texts like he's 50. And "classmate" could mean a lot of different things, but I've started wondering if he's just someone who WORKS at the same school as Kacchan, because obviously he had too much information about the kidnapping to not be directly involved but maybe he was lying about being a student so that he didn't dox himself, but recently we've been helping each other out with homework and he is WAY better at english than a high schooler should be and I really do need the help with english but what if he knew that and was using it to get past my defences? and he used the phase "given the level of scrutiny placed on his public visage" in a sentence like that was a thing real people do but to be fair to him he hasn't asked for a voice or video chat and he hasn't asked to meet in person so I'm probably overreacting except what if that's what he wants me to think and I'm playing right into his hand?
Sorry, that was a lot, I'm a little stressed.
What I'm trying to ask is, is Shouto a catfish who wants to lure me into an alley and murder me?

crawler Today at 05:26
oh
oh no, no of course not, shouto was like, your age
kinda stiff/awkward but in the "humans are loud and confusing, what do" way not serial killer way, he really does go to UA with rai
oops you didn't know that about rai
okay well i maybe shouldnt have told you but you get the point

Shuttai Today at 05:26
Oh okay
Well I mean, phew, for one
We've been talking more and I guess I just started getting nervous for no reason

Isn't this that group you've been hanging out with? https://news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/640... Shouto, are you in a cult?? You'd tell me if you were in a cult, right?? It's not a cult They just MURDERED a man and put his head on a metaphorical spike Are you telling me it's not a cult because it's a gang?? SHOUTO. It wasn't us, we think it might have been someone using our name to discredit us "It wasn't us", "using our name" Do you hear yourself? These are the kinds of things people in cults say! It's NOT A CULT. But how would you KNOW? You're not the most street savvy person. Rude. I'm just looking out for you, Shouto! Please be careful.

So even though most of the issues we've been seeing are centered around Tokyo, they won't consider QAB a gang or a prosecutable entity, primarily due to the lack of physical, centralized cohesion.

Forced quirk suppression/removal?

What does everyone else think about forced quirk suppression? I mean, obviously Prelude is pretty radical, but does he have a point? Wouldn't the truest equality be to remove everyone's quirk, for everyone to have the same base?

353 30

30 Comments sorted by Best

preReflecting 10h...
I'll probably be downvoted to hell, but this is what I've been thinking too. edit: Guess I'm not as alone as I thought...

reg_g_4 19h ...
I don't disagree that we could "level the playing field" if everyone's quirks were taken out of the equation, but what are you going to do? Forcefully take away quirks people were BORN with?

Shuttai 4h
People would find things to discriminate about even without quirks. Think about skin color, ethnicity, sex, height, IQ. I don't mean to speak directly against Prelude's personal ideals, but IMO removing people's quirks will in no way make the world a better place. All you're doing is trying to take away something that most people identify, consciously or unconsciously, as an integral part of themselves.

I've had the opportunity to personally interview people who have become unable to use their due to various circumstances. The majority of them are listless and have difficulty concentrating, as well as difficulty holding down a job. They often develop depression and some fall into suicidal idealization. This INCLUDES people who were previously documented as saying their quirk didn't really matter to them, and didn't use their quirks frequently. Maybe some of this is purely psychological. Maybe it isn't. The majority of these people had experienced traumatic injuries, and that could be a factor. But when compared with individuals with similar injuries, those who had lost the use of their quirk suffered from significantly greater alterations in cognition and mood.

I'm also not saying people without quirks are useless; I'm saying that quirks are embedded in DNA, and removing the quirk from a person could have INCREDIBLY unknown and unintended side effects, and that this is a much more complicated issue than people have recently been making it out to be.

Hello, I'd like to ask for some advice

oh hell it's you again

Shouto Today at 15:20
?

Saffron | gym leader Today at 15:21
it's nothing, I just get PTSD flashbacks every time I see your name in #curry what's up?

Shouto Today at 15:21
I'm having some trouble properly communicating with a new friend. He denies that we're friends, but everything I've learned about friendship indicates that we are engaged in one. How can I know for sure?

XCFV | obscore Today at 15:21
ngl my dude, he sounds like a pain. why bother putting in the effort?

Saffron | gym leader Today at 15:22
xcfv said it inelegantly, but maybe part of the problem is that you're trying too hard? if you back off a little and let him come to you, he might relax about it.

Shuttai | "suck it" Today at 15:23
What reasons do you have for thinking you might be friends with him?

Saffron | gym leader xcfv said it inelegantly, but maybe part of the problem is that you're trying too hard? if you back off a little and let him come to you, he might relax about it.

Shuttai | "suck it" What reasons do you have for thinking you might be friends with him?

Shouto Today at 15:25
We eat lunch at the same table several times a week, and he's the one to seek me out. he complained about my "poor skills" in a certain school subject and set up a study group for the upcoming test so he could "make sure I didn't embarrass the whole class". (I got the wrong answer on two problems on the homework assignment, and I'm consistently ranked third in our class.)

Shouto Today at 15:26
So we hang out together at his insistence, which seems like friendship. But he often tells me I suck at things. I don't take it personally because that seems to be the way he talks to everyone, but my other friend says that means he doesn't like me. And if he doesn't like me, then we're not friends.

Shuttai | "suck it" Today at 15:26
Look at it this way: if he's complaining about you to your face, he's not doing it behind your back!
It sounds like he's a very straight forward person. If he's eating lunch with you, that means he values you enough to spend time with you.

Shouto Today at 15:26
He does occasionally make me food, but he says it's because he "doesn't want me to use it as an excuse when he beats me".

Shuttai | "suck it" Today at 15:27
He might just have a hard time expressing his emotions. He spends time with you, he does nice things for you... That sounds like friendship to me.
From personal experience though, you might want to be careful about pushing too hard for any hard answers or relying on him to have reasonable emotional responses to things. He might lash out when he gets confused or embarrassed.

Shouto Today at 15:27
Oh. That helps explain some things. Thank you very much, Shuttai.

Shouto, where are you? I thought I told you to tell me if you were going to be late. You're not hanging out with that cult again, are you? It's not a cult, and no I told you, the provisional license exam is in two days. I'm still on campus running through some training exercises. Okay. Let me know when you're on your way home, alright?

"Quirkless Activism"

by Shuttai on September 04, 20X4 - 331 Comments

 

There's been a lot of discussion about my political views, and my so-called "quirkless activism" comes up quite a bit. I don't consider myself an activist per-say, but I see quirklessness as an issue society largely ignores. In a world where the first field after your full name is a quirk, erasure is a larger issue than you might consider. When applying online for a high school entrance exam, did the 'quirk type' field give you any pause? Did you notice there were only three options; emitter, transformation, and mutant? This is a required field of entry for forms you'll fill out for your entire life. Especially in forms geared towards the younger generation (i.e., high school and college applications), forms must be competed online and they're missing something important: a fourth option, for those without quirks. [...]

 

 

 

Chapter End Notes

once a month is apparently my new update schedule:
- i have discovered the wonderful world of IDEs which i knew existed but i dismissed them as something only used by people who were incapable of using vim.
- this will likely mean nothing to you, but multi-line editing?? is literally speeding up my coding process by like... idk. a lot. a *lot* a lot. thanks to mystyrust for introducing me 🙏
- - like, i was coding this chapter and said, "hmm ive made a lot of progress; it must be 2am" but it was only 10pm!!!
- - update: okay so i see now that i made it seem like i was using vim. no, my bros. i was using GOOGLE DOCS. I HAVE USED PURELY GOOGLE DOCS TO CODE 14 CHAPTERS OF HTML HELL. JUDGE ME. FEAR ME. but mostly, mourn that colossal waste of time with me like sheesh why did i do that. (i did it for the look of horror and awe on people's faces when i said "ide? ha. no. google docs")
- so it occurred to me like, months ago, that the majority of you probably don't know what signal is?? maybe?? idk what's common knowledge or not, but anyway i was gonna explain it forever ago but kept forgetting so i will DO SO NOW:
- - signal is a messaging application, but the messages you send are encrypted correctly. ie, no one but you and the recipient can get them. not your mom, not the feds, not the company that owns and hosts signal; no one. so this is why the LoV are using it almost exclusively for all messages. shigaraki is nothing if not a paranoid gamer boy and he forced them to all download it.
- - no one else in universe uses it bc in my experience japan is extremely behind when it comes to security and awareness... sorry japan, i love you
- - signal didnt even show up this chapter but shhhh

Good afternoon! My name is Otoba Yukie and I'm an organizer for the upcoming convention Quirkless Con (QCon). I got your email from @TheRealCrawler on Twitter, I hope that's okay.

I read your recent post on quirkless individuals applying for high school and it really moved me (and the rest of our staff!) Your article covered exactly the kind of thing we're trying to promote awareness of with QCon. Would you be interested in doing a talk at QCon? We would pay for your travel, hotel room, and all meals. Having a big name like you come to our little convention could really go a long way to spreading awareness for the issues quirkless people face.

I really hope you'll consider it.


Thank you,
Otoba Yukie

I miss the weekly quirk analysis posts

I mean, I get why they've been more infrequent. Shuttai has his hands full with current events and left field allegations and this Prelude guy. But I miss the days when QAB was just a fun place to be where people talked about quirks.

On the other hand, I'm only here because Shuttai started getting into current events. I don't think he ever would have come across my radar otherwise. I wouldn't be opposed to moving back to more quirk analysis posts, but covering controversial topics like he has been is definitely the way to stay relevant and reach a wider audience.

What was that?? What was what Whatever the hell just happened with Bakugou Oh We're friends now. Are you???? Yes. Are you sure, because he also just kicked you in the shin Yes, but not hard. Kirishima says that's how he shows affection. Did Kirishima say that to his FACE?? No, Bakugou wasn't present at the time. It might have embarrassed him to hear others bring up his feelings. I think it was very thoughtful of Kirishima to pull me aside to let me know, though I had already figured it out. ???????? We're Line friends now. :) What the fuck

- thanks again to mystyrust, this time for telling me css selectors exist. the discord skin can finally be beautiful :')
- - re, the discord update: many, many things broke. i think i found most (all?) of them, but if you see something weird (even if its not in a discord section! css is fun like that!!) please let me know 🙏
- - update: hnnnn found some more stuff it broke. when there's a "new message" and date field right on top of each other, they now just.... merge... for some reason... i am aware of the issue and will fix it... soon ish. hopefully it's not a hard fix...
- there is an image in this chapter i named "matryoshka" and i still dont understand why i did that to myself; except, every time theres a flashback in an anime and its supposed to be a different character recollecting it but they just use the same animation from the previous episode? i didnt want to be that guy
- every new chapter is my own personal episode of "how are we going to get around not having javascript today?" and oh the sins i have committed. oh the damage ive done.
- related, how many of you noticed the cool thing 👀 👀
- - that right there is a crime against nature, and yet... im so proud.
- see you again when i finally bully myself into sitting down and organizing the next few chapters

Chapter End Notes

- the holidays were b u s y but we're back baby
- if you didnt recognize some names this chapter: they're from nighteye's office. (Sasaki Mirai, Moashi Juzo, and Awata Kaoruko)
- update: was just reminded that no one reads vigilantes... anyway Tsukauchi Makoto is canon, she's Tsukauchi Naomasa's sister! it's also canon that koichi had a crush on her, and they attended the same university. she knew koichi was a vigilante but didn't tell her brother afaik.
- my new years resolution is to finish this series before the end of 2022. hoping to start updating every two weeks, we'll see if i can hold to that. ive been working on qab a lot the last few weeks and the hawks deficiency is taking a lot out of me...
- i regret not keeping track of my reference images for qab1. i regret it *a lot*.
-- so anyway twitter has once again changed the way theyre formatting links DMs and im... im not doing it. i bet literally no one will notice, but some characters that used to use twitter DMs will now be using line bc lo and behold, line has changed to look like twitter used to. there's only so much code rewriting my soul can take.
-- signal also changed and it was painful but not like, life altering. but also it looks worse now why did they do that lol
- i feel like from here on out there wont be any more cool new gimmicks but?? we'll see?? i frequently say "whew, all done coding css forever and now we can just write the chapters" and then something breaks or updates or i learn a new trick and i write more css

Yonamine's been arrested. Hojo got a call from Yonamine's lawyer. Sounds like the police are trying to delay the process. Read
20:15
Aren't you meeting with that "League of Villains" tomorrow? Read
20:15
Correct. The timing is suspicious. 21:02 That was the conclusion I drew as well. There's also a rumor QAB is involved, which given the recent murder of Goto Imasuji means they might be working together. Read
21:05
Regardless, Yonamine was on official clan business, which could mean we have a leak. Read
21:05
Track down a list of people who knew of Yonamine's whereabouts. I'll address the League of Villains directly. 21:23 Understood. Read

As you are all likely aware, Yonamine Tatsuo was brought in yesterday under charges of disturbing the peace. Yonamine has known ties to the Hassaikai and it is vital that we find additional evidence between now and his hearing. If we let him go, the Hassaikai are unlikely to be so careless again.

A minor and an unaccompanied provisional hero were at the scene during the incident that caused the initial charges. The identity of the minor is still unknown, but we were able to bring in the provisional hero for questioning. We strongly suspect he has an affiliation with the group known as QAB given QAB's pattern of behavior over the last month, but were unable to confirm during the questioning.

If QAB is involved, that would officially make this a turf war and may work in our favor insofar as delaying Yonamine's court date as much as possible to allow us to gather additional evidence to support our case.

Contact me directly if you come across anything related to Yonamine or the Hassaikai. As always, any information about QAB should be directed to Bubble Girl, who remains lead on the Imasuji Goto case.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a turf war give us jurisdiction to treat "Shuttai" as a potential obstruction of justice?

No, it's alright. The examiners were correct, my behavior was atrocious and I'm glad for the opportunity to prove I can do better.
Plus, my new friend is also attending the remedial courses so it will be a good opportunity to strengthen our bond :)

The R-Rated Hero Midnight is hardly the first to launch a perfume brand (Hawks released a signature brand just last year) but it's certainly the first to have sold out after only 12 hours after going live. The scent is reported not to cause drowsiness, though many speculate about other possible side effects.

Nousore Jo, a 52 year old rancher, has been dealing with a rather unusual interloper the last few months. "Usually it's gophers and snakes I have to worry about; not humans." Against his better judgment he allowed 48 year old Kawai Touru to remain on the ranch with her "spotted sisters"...

Chapter End Notes

yaaay endnotes:
- there's smth weird with the phone-call screen on desktop, like, it's really tall. i'll fix it later. why are you reading on desktop anyway? smh
- i did a ton of research and in conclusion: i dont know how japanese law works. only @ me if you can tell me how what i did wrong and how to fix it, otherwise im happy to live in ignorance
- the chapter count is scaring me you guys. im scared. idk if 20 chapters is gonna cut it and that makes me real mad
- i wont know for sure until i get the chance to draft out the next few chapters, but pray for me. pray for 20.
- im glad more people seem to be joining the himi/denki train bc a bunch of you seemed to think that was a joke and no matter how many times i said "I Am Completely Serious"... people still thought i was joking. which seeing as how it was initially a joke i get it but come on guys, get on the otp train
- i did a TON of coding this week but i dont think any of the cool new things start showing up until the next chapter, rip
- right before i posted this i noticed a ton of timestamps were wrong, meaning there are probably a ton of other mistakes,, if you find any, let me know
- OH YEAH, my css file recently surpassed 2000 lines haha isnt that neat hahaha. what has my life become
- see you in two weeks!
- update: i just found out that on iphone the html is doing strange and terrible things. i... idk man. i don't have an iphone so i can't even check/fix it. im very sorry 🙏 (maybe someday ill be powerful enough)
- update v2: i think this got fixed but again i do not have an iphone so good luck my dudes

Are you hanging out with that Kaminari kid again? I don't know why I'd have to answer that. That's a yes. Masami-san heard that he was arrested last week. Are you sure that's the kind of person you should be hanging around? Masami-san as in the crazy lady next door? Why would she know that? Why were you even talking to her, she smells like mothballs Don't be rude! He wasn't arrested, he was questioned by the police as a witness to a crime. We're hero students. We witness crime. Masami-san can mind her own business unless she wants me to put a password on our wifi. You don't even know how to do that. I'm a changed man. I can absolutely change a wifi password. I'm just worried about you, Shouto.

What did Aizawa want? Dude he found out about the QAB quest on Monday How did he do that???? I have a theory that Aizawa has two quirks and the second one is telepathy Why does that make so much sense So what did you tell him? NOTHING man, I stayed cool as the coolest of cucumbers 😌

The League denies having anything to do with Yonamine's arrest. Read
17:54
I haven't uncovered any internal leaks, and Yonamine doesn't seem to have pissed anyone off recently. The prosecution is pushing for the maximum 23 days of holding, and my sources tell me there's a hero agency leaning on the courthouse to make sure it happens. They're likely looking for something to make the charges stick. 19:43 Keep looking. If this is the start of a targeted attack, we need to get ahead of it. Read
19:50
How did negotiations go? 19:50 Poorly. The League is a collection of aimless, ill-mannered fools. Read

NEW MESSAGES

Shuttai Today at 20:05
Have you ever been to a con?

Shouto Today at 21:28
A con? Like a heist?

Shuttai Today at 21:35
LMAO NO
Like a convention!
You know, like an event for people with a shared hobby to get together

Shouto Today at 21:37
Oh
No, I've never been to one of those
What kinds of hobbies?

Shuttai Today at 21:39
Like, heroes, anime, video games, comic books, or there's even conventions for professionals! Like programming conventions or optometry conventions
I even saw an event for knitting once, which seems wild to me! But ig there's a lot of people really into knitting and there was some rule about "no crochetters allowed" which I thought was weird because why wouldn't you allowe crochetters? You both make things out of yarn? But apparently the two communities hate each other and there's an entirely separate crochet convention where knitters aren't allowed, and
Oh whoops I'm rambling, sorry

Shouto Today at 21:40
Don't apologize, it's really interesting
I never would have known about the knit versus crochet war otherwise

Shuttai Today at 21:41
Shouto, why are you so nice,,

Shouto Today at 21:41
?
I'm just telling the truth?
Have you ever been to a convention?

Shuttai Today at 21:43
A few! I've been to herocon twice and I'd like to go again this year but my school schedule has been really busy. It's always a little weird to go by myself but the merch is worth it
I'm thinking about going to a new convention soon, and I even found someone to go with! But I've never met them before and I'm kind of nervous about it
But they said there was no pressure if I wanted to cancel, they're cool either going or not going, which is really nice of them! But I don't want to be so wishywashy about it because it's really inconvenient for everyone else involved

Shouto Today at 21:43
Is there something about the new convention that makes you nervous?

Shuttai Today at 21:44
Well I've only ever been to herocon, for one! So it's a totally new type of con and that's a bit intimidating. And it's not the kind of con to have merch, so I'm not really sure what I would even do exactly? Attend panels probably, and hopefully talk to some people but I don't know if people would even want to talk to me, or if it's even the kind of con where people talk to each other... I don't know. There are a lot of unknowns

Shouto Today at 21:44
If you don't go you might regret it. You can always leave if you don't like it, especially if the person you're going with doesn't care that much in the first place.

Shuttai Today at 21:46
Hmmmm
Yeah I guess you're right! No sense in sticking around if I'm uncomfortable, I just forget not everything's like school where you're not allowed to leave if you don't want to be there
Thanks so much for listening!! It means a lot to me, Shouto-kun 😊

not much to say today:
- thanks to my beta for some lovely resource images 💕
- i read all your comments and i really appreciate them but ive been awful about responding to comments lately, sorry!! i don't suspect i'll be any better this week either, but maybe someday i'll be a functional adult again
- i'll be posting a qab valentine's day special, so be on the lookout for that if you care about denki/himi. otherwise feel free to ignore it, it won't have any real relevance to the main plot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- pls prepare yourself for ch10, a very special interlude chapter that literally no one wanted or asked for 💖💖

Sir Nighteye

Did you meet with Shuttai while you were in town two weeks ago? I find the timing to be highly suspicious, given the still-unsolved murder of Imasuji Goto only a few days later. Did he share anything of his plans with you? How about the upcoming "Quirkless Convention"? Shuttai wouldn't bring a multitude of QAB members together for nothing. If you know anything, it is heinously irresponsible for someone in your position to allow such a dangerous individual to go unchecked. Yesterday, 14:42

I know for a fact that you and your agency has information or at the very least *access* to information that could help us build a case. If you'd stop being such a child about this, our agencies could form a joint operation. 09:45 uhh u do kno im in fukuoka rite *hawks is in fukuoka not me im nt hawks bt if i were id hav shit 2 do in fukuoka 09:45 When will you cease this meaningless farce? 09:47 Hawks, be rational. 10:25

HK I understand that this needs to be resolved, but being involved in something like this could out my current mission at extreme risk. I implore you to reconsider.
YK We wouldn't be having this discussion if you'd brought in Stain when you had the chance.
HK As a potential recruit for the League, I didn't feel it prudent to take down someone my only League contact holds in such high regard. I was told the success of this mission outweighed all other factors, and for that, I need to dispel any doubt my contact may have that I am not operating under the best interest of the League.
YK I'm well aware of the leniency you've been given concerning this mission. But tell me, how long has it been since you've heard from your League contact?
HK Well, that's complicated, I
YK How long, Hawks?
HK (pause) Forty five hours, sir.
YK Do you believe that to be a positive sign in dispelling the doubts your contact may have? Hawks, I know you're doing what you can but we can't allow Stain to continue to roam free just to support a mission that may have already failed.
HK I understand.
YK Do you? (pause) Well, nevermind. I know you mean well, but you're too idealistic.
HK Yes, sir.
YK The League is now of secondary priority. People are dying, ratings are at a record low, and you've lost contact with your only lead. They may be about to pull something big, something with Stain. Ideally, we can stop that from happening.
HK Sir, I must request again that you reconsider this plan of action. The odds that Stain is involved in any League related operations is
YK You're trying to convince the wrong person, Hawks. This is out of my hands - it's an order straight from the top. Take care of it.

im wondering if they were just in box to hold some things in place, but. why then, is one side detailed and the other not? why the indent for something to go into?

Chapter End Notes

relevant:
- ill be taking a (hopefully short) hiatus
- this is due to Life and wanting some time to work on my other longfic; but also because i realized that from ch10 onwards, the timing of everything is EXTREMELY important. i need to draft the next 5 or 6 chapters before i can be trusted to do anything else. plotting is hard, y'all
- i messed up majorly in ch9, and that means i need to start being more careful with my editing process. if you remember the Lov tweet from last chapter... that didn't belong there...
- it's been removed and will show up in a later chapter.
- also i did heavy edits to the twitter formatting. it doesn't LOOK like it broke the past chapters, but, you know. also it looks bad on pc but what else is new

HAWKS:
- when i said "more hawks" back in ch1, i meant it
- one day i was drafting up some chapters and i was like, "what do you mean hawks is the only character that has any plot for like 3 straight in-universe days" and couldn't figure out how to balance it with the rest of the content... so i just went ham instead
- - when you can't figure your way out of the hole you've dug yourself: dig deeper :))
- this chapter contains several hawks-exclusive skins! i may never have use for these skins again! why did i do that!
- you know what else i did for this chapter? WROTE AN EFFING PYTHON SCRIPT. god. why. why am i like this. no, i don't want to talk about it. yes, it's on github.
- you guys... ao3 is SO MEAN ABOUT TABLES. AND NESTED DIVS. MY GOD. if you tried to guess the thing that took me the most time to code in this chapter, i guarantee you'd be wrong. the main reason i missed my normal update day was because it was all working on my computer... and then ao3 said "haha. no."
- sometimes i just cry to my beta about how if i didn't have physical limitations i could do super neat things. ie, "this could be SO COOL if i just knew how to make a gif..." but this time i got back, "you? don't know how to make a gif?? fam i got 'chu" and anyway there's custom gifs now and i didn't even have to make them 💕💞
- i still do not know how to make a gif
- - and with friends like these i never will ;)

Turf War in Erukkido?
Sept 14 · DDC News via Yap News

Hero Killer Stain was spotted in Erukkido this week engaged in a midday knife fight with a group of local thugs. Police were dispatched to the scene but arrived too late to apprehend any of the individuals involved in the fight. However, this is particularly notable for Stain, given the lack of hero presence in the area

Newcomer Sidekick Red Riot Bursts onto the Scene!
Sept 14 · Hero★NEWS via Yap News

From the very first day, the new up-and-comer "Red Riot" is taking responsibility for citizens' safety and fighting villains by himself! A shining example of heroism, Red Riot made his first debut during the UA Sports Festival earlier this year, and though he didn't make much of an impression then he's certainly making up for lost time

Explosion in Ibaraki Prefecture
Sept 13 · Juzo News An explosion of unknown origins collapsed a ten story office building last night in the Ibaraki area. Though the building was empty, the damage left two vigilantes dead and sent several civilians to intensive care. There is reason to believe this was a target attack, but the local police declined to make a statement and say investigation is

Today

Just got word back from our source in the HPSC. Read
10:21
As we suspected, Nighteye had been in the process of investigating us. Read
10:21
More relevantly, it turns out Nighteye had outside help bringing in Yonamine Read
10:22
Who? 10:22 Are you aware of the QAB group? Apparently they've been making quite a name for themselves as an alliance of vigilantes. They're new enough that they could have gotten it in their heads that picking a fight with us was a good idea. Read
10:22
Or maybe Nighteye contracts with vigilantes now. Read
10:22
Those fools on twitter? They're nothing more than the media's latest scapegoat, they don't have the structure or resources to know what Yonamine played. 10:23 There's another rumor that QAB has ties with the League of Villains. Read
10:23
Unlikely. If Shigaraki had an ally like that, he wouldn't have folded to us so easily. Keep looking. 10:25 Yes sir. Read

Someone a little less into dead things? Screw you taxidermy is a totally normal hobby In some places Probably Uh, no. I knew you two had planned an offline meetup but it didn't really click. You said you were meeting up with her, and then later you said you had a date. You never specified. What do you even call her, "Blood"? 😒 I'm going back to bed now.

Sir, the Hassaikai situation may be more urgent than we thought. Read
10:11
I saw Chisaki Kai with a girl he claimed to be his daughter. She had bandages covering her arms and was clearly distressed in his presence. Read
10:11
He got her to go with him by saying something cryptic and threatening, and I didn't know what else to do but let her go. Anything else I would have done could have endangered her. Read
10:11
You made the right choice. 10:13 I don't suppose you managed to get a picture of the girl? 10:13 No sir. And all of the CCTV cameras in the area have been offline for quite some time. The operator I spoke with was... very unhelpful. Read
10:13
I suppose that's to be suspected, it is yakuza territory after all. They're nothing if not good finding the right officials to bribe. 10:15 Would you be able to describe her for a sketch artist? 10:15 Absolutely. Read

@ Shouto

Shuttai Today at 12:10
Actually, no, what the hell
Why were they letting a 15 yo fight against a guy makes KNIVES WITH HIS BODY
and WITHOUT BACKUP
where the hell was his backup, I don't understand
And that guy?? it's not like I can prove anything but I did a deep dive and I'm like 90% sure he's with the yakuza which Fatgum WOULD HAVE KNOWN. So, what, he's just letting his 15 year old intern fight against the yakuza?? Is that what heroics is now??
There's this huge social/societal pressure for heroes to be able to fight on their own, to do everything themselves, to the point where it's like we're not treating them like they're human anymore. And that's a problem!!
People have limits! People need help! And for the love of god FIFTEEN YEAR OLD INTERNS SHOULDN'T BE FIGHTING MEN WHO TURN INTO KNIVES BY THEMSELVES
Can you even imagine how badly this could have turned out if Red Riot's quirk wasn't what it was??

Shouto Today at 12:12
Maybe Fatgum accounted for that? He knew Red Riot's quirk and understood his limits and decided he could handle it.

Shuttai Today at 12:12
And that makes it okay for a 15 year old intern to not have backup???
Sorry, that came out wrong I'm just so mad about this
Also sorry I'm ranting to you about it I know you didn't sign up for this, I can stop

Shouto Today at 12:12
Don't apologize, I like seeing your thought process.
It's very interesting

Shuttai Today at 12:12
You're so nice to me 🥺
But seriously, if I end up annoying you just let me know and I can back off!!

Shouto Today at 12:13
I can promise you that won't happen.

Shuttai Today at 12:13
Ugh I really am sorry though

Shouto Today at 12:13
Are you going to do a blog post on this topic? It sounds like you're fired up enough about it.

Shuttai Today at 12:13
It's definitely something I'm passionate about, but it doesn't feel that simple anymore

Shouto Today at 12:13
How so?

Shuttai Today at 12:13
The response I get from talking about issues like this is just different. Like. Okay.
So you know how I did that piece on UA a while back? I got LITERAL DEATH THREATS, a hoard of angry emails, and one super weird guy pretending to be a lawyer to try and sue me. I don't want to downplay the importance of that article, I think it generated a lot of important dialogue! And maybe it's my fault for making the title too click-bait-y but a bunch of people leaving angry comments didn't even read the article, they just saw the title and went off. Idk if I want to deal with that again.
Every time I do anything "political" people just get so nasty

Shouto Today at 12:15
I think that's fair.
But I also think you've made a lot of good points, and that an equally good dialogue could stem from an article about it.

Shuttai Today at 12:15
Yeah... Yeah. I'll think about it.

Shouto Today at 12:15

And yet, you laughed. Given our last intelligence, the target is in the Erukkido district. oof yakuza territory. Correct. Avoid causing an incident. We've been intermittently turning off surveillance in the relevant areas which should help smooth matters along, but even so. me? an incident? pssh who do you think i am? nagant? Do recall that you are speaking to your superior officer, Hawks. yes ma'am, sorry ma'am

Mirko is a wonderful hero and an upstanding hero, but allowing her to present at QCon could prove disastrous.

Qcon was supposed to be a convention for the minority: quirkless individuals. Mirko's presence will encourage individuals with more dangerous quirks to attend, which would destroy the safe space that QCon created to be.

YK Were there any complications?
HK Nope! Nope. No complications at all. Totally normal hit by a top ranked hero. Just totally normal things happening.
YK I don't appreciate the attitude, Hawks.
HK And I don't appreciate the murder! (pause) Sorry, that was uh unprofessional. Okay actually I had a close call with the Shie Hassaikai, a bunch of their people were poking around the area. I didn't have time to hide the body, but there shouldn't be anything that ties me or the Commission to the murder.
YK Do you know if they discovered it?
HK I didn't stick around to find out, but it's only a matter of time.
YK Well. (pause) That is certainly not ideal, but (pause) it could work out in our favor. With the rising tensions between the multiple forces at play, hm, yes. Interesting. The League may very well blame the Shie Hassaikai.
HK Okay, great. Super. Can uh can I go now? I've got patrol tomorrow morning and I haven't slept in 40 hours.
YK (sigh) Fine. Dismissed.

The Culpability of Heroes

by Shuttai on September 16, 20X4 - 403 Comments

 

Earlier this week, a video of a hero intern fighting a villain was uploaded to the internet and went viral overnight. Thousands of people—fans, reporters, members of the hero community—are praising this young man for his quick thinking and his willingness to put himself in the line of fire to protect civilians.

You know what they're not talking about? They're not talking about how this "intern" is 15 years old, how this 15 year old had been working at Fat Gum's agency for less than a week, or how this 15 year old, during his first ever internship at a hero agency, was sent to pursue a dangerous perpetrator by himself, without backup.

This is not a criticism of the intern in question, though I am fully convinced that had he let the perpetrator flee, the situation wouldn't have escalated. But that shouldn't have been his call to make.

I'll say it again: a 15 year old with less than a week's worth of agency experience engaged in solo, un-aided combat with an armed perpetrator.

The fact that the video exists at all is a huge red flag. Because do you know what that means? Do you know what it means that there were multiple angles of this fight on the compilation videos continuously being uploaded and shared on YouTube and Twitter?

It means there was a whole group of people standing just behind this fight filming it, watching a single 15 year old struggle to fight a violent, desperate criminal, a man so desperate that he took the illegal quirk-enhancing drug Trigger in the middle of the fight—and still, the bystanders stood and watched. They didn't call for help. They didn't step in.

Their only involvement was to block the exit, actively aggravating the perpetrator and making it harder for the rookie pro hero to fight, because he had to fight with their safety in mind. (See this video at 5:32 to see what I'm talking about.)

A group of fully grown adults (see interviews from the witnesses here and here) sat and watched as a 15 year old fought an armed adult. And then they uploaded it to YouTube.

I'll save the discussion for why this bystander effect is so prevalent in our society and how recent quirk usage laws are only exacerbating the issue for another day, but for now, I just want everyone to leave here with this thought:

Would you stand back filming while a 15yo got stabbed in the streets?



(And to Red Riot, if you happen to ever read this; capturing a villain isn't worth your life. Please take care of yourself.)

Chapter End Notes

hello again:
- everyone you didn't recognize probably works for the Shie Hassaikai/Overhaul
- except for gonja rin, who's just a fun recurring HPSC OC ive grown overly attached to
- side note, if tabe doesn't get to show up again, ill cry
- i had the scene with tabe drafted a while ago but it just said "yakuza goons". later i found some canon randos to fit and then i reread the manga to see if they had any defining traits/personalities. usually i just change some of the phrasing to match the character's voice, but in tabe's case... lol. lolololol.
- thanks to squish and quae for some unknown portion of the npc usernames in this chapter! and also in upcoming chapters. ...and previous chapters, probably, man, who knows who wrote what in this story anymore, not me.
- beta pointed out that this is not kirishima's first internship, so now that'll show up as an in-universe correction in the next chapter. god i love social media fics
- - you find a typo? nah man, that's just *realism* there ain't no mistakes in socmed fics 😏
- - (jk, pls continue to tell me my mistakes)

- this chapter is dedicated to kai/chickenfries, who stayed up with me one night like a year ago to scream with me about this specific plot point before i was even committed to doing a sequel :')

Can you file a restraining order against someone on the internet threatening you death? Absolutely. 10:05 It might not be very effective, but if he ever DOES come after you, you'll have it on file that he has a pattern of this behavior and that the crime was premeditated. 10:06 ugh. ugghhhhhh Read

Thursday, Sept 17 • 12:30

hey endeavor-san! I was wondering if you had any availability in the next week? I need to drop by tokyo for a case and thought we could catch lunch! I'm very busy and don't have time for social calls. Save the catching up for those frivolous hero galas. wait, okay, I didn't want to come out and say it over text but I need your advice on something and I'd really rather ask in person As you so graciously reminded me, you rank above me in terms of approval rating. I can't imagine I have any heroing or publicity advice that would be helpful for you. it's about something else If this is about your love life, I don't want to hear it. HA omg no omg imagine lmao i needed that but no anyway its not about that its something else it's something you are uniquely qualified to assist with but I don't feel comfortable discussing it over insecure channels. I'm very much in a jam here, it would really mean a lot to me if you'd hear me out. I'd try not to take too much of your time! You should have lead with that. soooo is that a yes? I can make time on Monday afternoon. If it's more urgent than that, tell me now. no no monday is perfect, ill come down to tokyo and make a whole day of it Ive been meaning to check on some things in your neck of the woods anyway thank you so much!!!

Chapter End Notes

relevant:
- i added a new section to ch12 😶 i dont even know if its important. maybe?? maybe...
- i changed other things too. they were probably not important. look, qab is in beta, its fine, its growing pains, think of how great it'll be when it's all grown up and it can move out and go not pay rent somewhere else

 

irrelevant:
- sometimes i just take a step back from it all and look at what ive done and think, very loudly: why.
- while coding this up it occurred to me how the insane amount of work and research that went into that email from youtube was, and how i hadnt even thought anything of it. it was just part of the process. i didn't think to question it as i watched a dozen videos and read a dozen articles and took notes and a dozen screenshots. who does that. and why.
- there is an error with the youtube email. i just wanted you to know that it was on purpose. no, im not going to tell you what it is.
- and then while i was coding it up i was like "no. no, not good enough" and made that dumb multi-colored line?? and didnt even think about it until literally right before posting if that would even work on mobile or how it would segment itself on a smaller screen bc i am a fool
- to the person who commented "but all the other typos were in character"... i have lost sleep over this. i will never know what other typos there were and if they were intentional or not. i just gotta keep reminding myself its a socmed fic, it doesnt matter.......
- i struggled for a long time with that prelude reveal! i dont remember the specifics now bc it was months ago, but i remember agonizing over how to best do it and when, etc etc.
- as of qab1, prelude WAS (loosely) supposed to be chisaki/overhaul, but for the life of me i just couldnt see chisaki as the sort of man who kept up with social media or posted videos to the internet. but kurono?? diehard chisaki stan?? that there is absolutely a man who uses twitter and reddit. he chose prelude because he wanted it to be "a prelude to the overhaul" bc hes an edgy stan like that.

A few weeks ago during one of the "curry missions that didn't happen", a yakuza member got arrested. Given the area (which I am told, for legal reasons, I have never been to) I believe he was Hassaikai.

Shouto | some sheep supremacy Today at 14:21
Stain was last seen in Erukkido, which is known Hassaikai territory, and is a known supporter of QAB. True, he's been there for a while, but a few days ago an article came out (https://news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/6426624) and I believe the unnamed inmate was the same one arrested. And then Stain goes missing? The timing is too coincidental.

Hero Killer Stain Throwing in the Towel?
September 19 · DCC via Yap News

The ongoing saga of Stain the Hero Killer has captivated the country over the past months, and his sudden disappearance is alarming to say the least. The HPSC says there's no need to worry. "This goes to show the influence of increased patrols and hero presence can have in marginalized areas. The fight against crime is merely the act of making crime not worth the risk."

Rumor has it that Sir Nighteye has dealt a major blow to the underground drug trade in Tokyo. His official comment on the matter was: "[...] nothing definitive, but the playing field is about to be leveled." Details of this success will be kept from the public until the trial, which is set for December of this year.

What if he was lying Who Shuttai Ugh not this again Okay I'll bite, lying about what? About being a student It would mean he kept up a consistent false life for his entire online career, even back when he was an unknown. That's pretty paranoid, but it's still not impossible Or maybe he went back and edited it after he got popular Can you do that?? Uh yeah? It's his website, he can post whatever he wants I mean, clearly, given the whole Fatgum fiasco He actually does feel badly about that ?? his blog SPECIFICALLY STATES that he isn't sorry Yeah, Crawler-san told him to put up a solid unapologetic front for the masses ????? are you in a private GC with crawler and shuttai?? ? No, Shuttai just told me where??? I read EVERYTHING he puts into QABD In DMs? YOU DM SHUTTAI???

Chapter End Notes

- um?? ive got nothing. there weren't any new gimmicks
- - update, right before posting i decided to fix part of the discord skin, and it's? not working how i want it to?? but its closer than it was. i think it's still possible to do the thing i wanted tho... hmm.... im still thinking.
- IN OTHER NEWS a friend has informed me she has a workskin TWICE my size (current line count for the qab workskin: 2377) and ao3 hasnt rejected it yet. so we're probably fine!
- the severe lag every time i hit save still scares me
- i really cannot think of a single thing to say about this chapter. ao3 gave me zero issues, which is actually kind of concerning bc i *always* spend at least 30min debugging the chapter... hopefully im not overlooking anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- OH is anyone else mad that gdocs took away auto headers?? im so mad. SO mad. its so inconvenient. i guess ao3 gave me a break this week bc google personally decided to go for my throat
- until next time ✨

I think someone's following me? Why would someone be following you Idk maybe Sir Nighteye is still mad?? I'm sure he has better things to do than to stalk a teenager. He's a pro hero You're probably right Oh shit what if it's one of the preluders What if they've found us irl too?? Oh my god what if they try to attack me What am I going to do??? You're in a hero training program. You spar other highly trained individuals almost every day. You're scared of a fight with some incels? ????? How the hell do you even KNOW THAT WORD Shit I swear someone's right behind me but every time I turn around there's nothing there Can I come over to your place?? I'm only 10 minutes away and I'm kind of freaking out Sure Why are you even on this side of town? I was scoping out date spots!! There's this super cute boba place with really high reviews but I wanted to make sure the quality of the tea was up to snuff. And it was pretty good!! Plus there's a cute cake shop right next door so if she doesn't want to go for boba OR if she wants something to munch on with her tea, it's right there! I didn't buy any of the cake but it looks really good and the line was pretty long. I regret asking. Rude!!

NEW MESSAGES

 

Sept 21 20X4

crawler | moon crimes Today at 09:19
@everyone hey all, sorry for the ping but we thought it important to keep you updated.

as you might have noticed, we've had an influx of new members to the server and a large number of them have been, in the mods' professional opinion: assholes. a popular twitter account boosted the invite link, and that particular twitter user doesn't have the best opinion of QAB. many of the new users are likewise not QABs biggest fans. however, their behavior is not an acceptable excuse to be an asshole back, or to break any of the rules of this discord server.

speaking of, we've updated the server #rules so please take a look. the three strike system is still in effect, but any threats against another user will get you banned instantly. there is no "war", you are not "protecting your nation", this is a couple of trolls acting in bad faith, and the mods will take care of it. be patient and civil and we'll get through this together.

all invite links to this discord have been disabled until further notice. we're going back to the beginning times where each new user had to interview with a mod before being allowed into the server, and we expect that to take up a lot of time and energy so please be understanding. (also, if you're interested in helping out as a temporary mod in any capacity, let me or @EngineMan | crispy air know.)

as always, please don't hesitate to DM anyone on the @mod team if someone is making you uncomfortable.

finally: please pay attention to how you're behaving in public spaces. there's been some doxxing going around and it's better to be safe than sorry.
241 👍 95 🙏 33 😔

["Audio recording 20X4-09-21 14-11-32.acc" on the phone belonging to Moashi Juzo.]

 

 

"—We're recording now. Could you state that again, for the record?"

"Shit man, I shouldn't even be here."

"No one has to know you're involved until we have enough to convict. You might not even have to testify. But unless I have some semblance of proof, some actual evidence, a judge will never grant a warrant."

"You think I fucking know what that means?"

"It means the Hassaikai keeps running free, no restrictions, and maybe finally comes to collect the debt you don't have the money to pay."

"Shit. Okay, okay, so like I said, everyone's all up in a panic. I've never seen them this worked up. After Yonamine got arrested, things got locked down tight, but it was still just routine you know? Shit happens, people get arrested. But then the boss' daughter just up and vanishes."

"And she didn't turn back up?"

"No, there's nothing, no trace of her, no footage—nothing."

"When did she disappear?"

"I dunno, Wednesday? Thursday?"

"Okay. Can you repeat what you said about Stain?"

"Man, he was everywhere. You try to do a drug deal and he was there. You try to extort cash from some civvies, he was there. You go to goddamn lunch and he was fucking goddamn there. And it wasn't just me—it was everybody. Our numbers are way lower than they're supposed to be and Kurono—second in command, stickler for the rules, total asshat—was on everyone's asses and he didn't care why it was happening, just that we weren't doing what we were told. I'm just a grunt, I'm not even in the clan, they don't tell me shit and he's still threatened to kill me a few times. For no goddamn good reason! But he's still better than dealing with Chisaki directly, Jesus Christ—You know what his quirk is?"

"I have an idea, yeah."

"He can turn you inside fucking out and keep you alive to see it. There's no limit to it, he can keep you there for hours and hours and then put you back to take a breather, and then do it all over again. Shit, man. I'd take death by Kurono any day."

"Yeah, I hear you. But you were saying, about Stain?"

"Right, yeah, Stain. And he's with the League, right? Sort of, anyway. So the Stain is everywhere but the higher-ups can't be bothered to deal with him because it'd make things messy, even though the fucker's not shy about swinging those swords of his around. Nearly killed Nemoto and he's a shoe in for lieutenant, that would have meant an all-out fucking war."

"Is Chisaki afraid of going head to head with the League?"

"What? No, he'd kill those assholes in a second. They have some sort of—deal? Don't ask me. I've seen a few of them come and go from the main compound, and I'm not allowed to even set foot in there. We all think that's why Chisaki hasn't just killed Stain already, but then the kid disappeared. And, you know."

"Know what?"

"So did Stain."

He says Chisaki was pissed, the most pissed he'd ever been. Apparently the girl is real important Read
14:44
Someone asked him point blank if he'd finally done something to Stain, and he didn't deny it. They're basically treating it as fact. Read
14:44
Hm. But he can't come forward and directly claim the credit because of whatever he has going on with the League. 14:45 That's what it sounds like Read
14:45
Since Erukkido hasn't been burned to the ground, I assume the League doesn't yet suspect. 14:46 That's what I was thinking, too. But then what happened to the girl? The League stays away from QAB stuff, but Stain was clearly a fan. Or maybe even a member. Sure, it's one thing if the League finds out who killed Stain. But what about if QAB finds out? Read
14:47
There's no way to say. QAB is too unpredictable, but even so I suspect their reaction would be drastic, to say the least. 14:48 You're missing an important question. If Stain is dead, what happened to the child? 14:48 Do you think Stain did something? Read
14:48
I know that's what the informant seemed to believe, but given Stain's MO it seems unlikely. That's not to say we should rule it out, but we should consider other angles. Especially if the hunt is ongoing; that means they haven't yet found a body. 14:48 Think about it. In the case Stain had nothing to do with the girl's disappearance, why would Chisaki go after him? 14:49 Uh, you got me, why? Read
14:49
Wait Read
14:49
You said it yourself: Stain has two alliances. 14:49 You think QAB had something to do with this, and Chisaki took Stain out as revenge? For what? Read
14:50
Have you forgotten about the Yonamine case? Maybe we're only seeing part of the puzzle here. Consider. Yonamine gets arrested, in part to QAB's interference. Chisaki retaliates in some way we aren't privy to, and in turn QAB sends Stain into Erukkido to hamper Chisaki's operations, but Chisaki can't touch him because of his deal with the League. But remember that explosion in Ibaraki a week ago? 14:50 QAB is shaping up to be a league of vigilantes. What if the two vigilantes caught in the blast were members? What if that was Chisaki's reply to Stain? 14:51 Shit Read
14:51
And then they took the girl, and suddenly Chisaki didn't feel like playing nice Read
14:51
I think it's an angle worth looking into, at the very least. 14:51 I'll get Bubble Girl, see if we can dig anything up Read

I just wanted to thank you again for the advice! I have a lot to consider. I know you may ignore me, but I would like to reiterate. I really don't think you should be doing this alone. Hero work doesn't leave much time for a family, much less solo child rearing. If at all possible, the best case scenario would be to have a second adult involved, to support both you and the child. You shouldn't have to be her only support. haha thats a nice thought I'm being serious. Even if it's not a romantic partnership, there are plenty of people who would be willing to assist you, if not in a full-time capacity, at least as an emergency measure. My daughter Fuyumi deals with children often, and I'm sure she would be willing to lend a hand. okay. thanks. I don't think I'm convincing you, but the next time you're in town I invite you to join us for dinner. That way you can meet her on more neutral ground and see if she's someone you would be comfortable leaving your child with.

Chapter End Notes

i almost forgot to update today bc i forgot what day it was:
- writing twice is only bearable over chat fic. if youve ever tried to write him in a traditional written format, i think you'll understand. but he THRIVES as a character in visual media, it's beautiful
- ive seen a few people say its sad that the qcon twitter isnt getting much engagement: ive been stealing those engagement numbers from the twitter account of a popular convention in north america. i think a lot of people follow accounts for cons but dont interact with it much bc theyre just following for updates, and i think thats fair. its doing as well as a big con usually does on twitter, dont worry about it
- i changed the discord skin a TON and not even in a way that MATTERS. hopefully this doesnt come back to haunt me
- - ill be updating the previous chapters to reflect the discord changes shortly
- i also changed this one bit of code that i use EVERYWHERE because i was like... that can't be right... ill just change that number. so. heres hoping it doesnt break everything. (check things before you push live code, you say? who do you think i am, responsible??)
- in my hubris, i didnt make a draft file. i said to myself, "you tested it in a browser. youre only reusing code youve already used (except for that discord nonsense). go ahead, skip a step! nothing will go wrong!"
- - things went wrong.
- im sure there was something else i was supposed to mention, but ill just wake up in a cold sweat at 3am and remember it then

anyway my friend has really been looking forward to going and there's a large chance nothing will happen bc it's just a bunch of trolls on twitter talking out their ass, but i dont really want to take that chance
esp since the other friend going with him might have to leave early

EngineMan | crispy air Today at 12:06
I do think it's likely you're being unnecessarily cautious, but we can hardly fault you for that.

No, I'd rather have a valid reason to get out of the house for a day. My father's been breathing down my neck the last few weeks, and Rai keeps ditching me to hang out with his "girlfriend"

Today

Update on the situation in Ikebukuro: our usual judge is refusing to cooperate, says the HPSC is too closely involved and would notice immediately. The cop we had on payroll has been fired for substance abuse. The police appear to be planning another attack on the storage facility in Shinjuku. We have to move quickly if we want to head them off. Read
14:22
How do you want us to proceed? Read
14:22
What the fuck are you talking about 14:25 The Trigger plant raid? Nighteye has ten of our men in custody? Read
14:25
You think losing some goddamn Trigger matters in the grand scheme of things? 14:26 What about all of the men getting taken into custody? We have a duty to them. And good men aren't an infinite resource. Read
14:26
We can't just keep ignoring this issue. Without direction from you, rumors are running wild and people are looking to jump ship. Read
14:26
They knew what they signed up for, and if they want out they can answer directly to me. 14:28 Stop wasting time with the heroes and their nonsense. We need to find Eri. 14:28 Sir, if we don't act immediately they'll take the storage facility as well. Our operations will be severely crippled. Read
14:28
Without Eri, there won't BE an operation. Once the research reaches completion and we start mass production, we will be quite literally unstoppable. People want out? They'll want right back in once everyone understands what we have. Nighteye is a fucking gnat, if he wants to challenge us head on instead of this backhanded bullshit, I'll deal with it then. 14:31 Eri remains the top priority. 14:31 I understand. I'll redouble our efforts. Read

14:41
why? what's going on? 14:42 That bastard Nighteye Read
14:42
He finally got something to stick, and we got word he's going after our operations in Shinjuku next. We need to move the merchandise as quickly as possible. Read
14:43
what does Chisaki-sama have to say about this? 14:43 He'll be tied up in trying to salvage the research projects and doesn't want to be disturbed. Report directly to me about any news about the girl. I'll handle Nighteye. Read
14:45
understood. 14:45

16:37
What made you interested in quirkless con? Read
16:37
t shouto What club 16:38 @Midoriya Izuku I've never been to a convention before and wanted to see what it was like. 16:38 Oh so this'll be your first? That's so cool! I'm excited to have you along I'm sure this'll be a lot of fun. Read
16:39
t shouto I am likewise looking forward to it. I'll be in your care. 16:39 Kazuho lmao no need to be so formal 16:40 Do we all wanna meet up at a train station? This thing is gonna be packed 16:40 Which direction are you both coming from? 16:40 Or which line are you taking 16:41 t shouto I live in Musutafu. 16:41 Kazuho No way @Midoriya Izuku don't you live musutafu? 16:41 Haha yeah! Read
16:43

16:43
t shouto I'll be taking JR line since that's nearby 16:43 If you're also taking JR we could go in together 16:43 I'm not sure what I'm doing yet but I'll definitely let you know! Read
16:44
Kazuho Didn't you tell me you were gonna take a JR line too? We were gonna meet up at that gate, remember 16:44 Right but I was thinking JR might be a little busy so I might take metro instead since that's usually emptier on weekend mornings you know? haha Read
16:46
But I'll let you both know before Saturday! Read
16:47
Kazuho Okay sounds good 16:48 yep! Read

also can you not just tell him? shouto's cool, im sure it'd be fine

Shuttai Today at 16:54
it would NOT be fine because i would DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT
I thought maybe it was a different shouto, it's not like it's THAT rare of a name but KOICHI
ITS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME SHOUTO
NO ONE ELSE COULD TALK LIKE SUCH A SUSPICIOUS OLD MAN
I AM DYING, KOICHI

crawler Today at 16:55

that boys real thick

Shuttai Today at 16:55

Chapter End Notes

hi hello how are you:
- I WAS GOING TO REPLY TO COMMENTS and then i think i only replied to one and took a nap and then forgot?? and didnt even think about it until today when i was setting up for posting. i read all the comments as they come to my inbox but i only reply when im logged into ao3... so anyway thanks for all the comments!! sorry ive been pretty non-responsive,,,
- i went a little crazy on the discord skin again this week. its not anything you can even NOTICE much less care about but. its. its really cool okay,,, we broke mortal limits today, okay,,,,,
- basically someone (once again, mystyrust to the rescue) reminded me that the ::before attribute exists and i used that to commit crimes. but normal crimes! i think this is actually what ::before is supposed to be used for maybe!!
- honestly the hardest thing to do within the limits of ao3 is to make things variable sizes because you have no javascript to assist you. you just have lie and cheat your way to the top.
- me, when writing this chapter: hawks <33333
- beta, when reading this chapter: AAAAHHHHHHH DEKU
- - so the best of both worlds i guess lol
- - also apparently its his birthday so i am being bullied into saying "happy birthday izuku"
- im lowkey considering writing a oneshot based on dabi's pov for this chapter (i even wrote 700 words of it), but i have so. many. projects. also summer is killing me, all i do is eat freezy pops and take naps
- pls send me clouds and rain. alternatively if yall could beat up the sun, that'd be great

Chapter 17

Chapter Notes

ive started deleting comments that are just rage posts about how much they hate certain canon characters for existing, so maybe don't? leave those?? ma'am,,, this is a wendy's

I think I know why Shuttai is always so busy what I'm convinced he lives, or lived, in Hosu. He's mentioned taking the Tsukuba line several times, and there's a few older articles that have since been deleted that talked about specific locations in Chiba, but in a way that indicated Shuttai only commutes to the area. That means he must live on the Tokyo side of the Tsukuba line, and given the length of his commute and which times he's taking the train, he must transfer at least once. You know what's in Chiba? Toudai. Specifically, the quirk research branch. And that would make him busy enough, seeing as Toudai is the top university in Japan. But as far as I can gather, he doesn't attend full-time, and why would that be? What if he's a father? ?????? It would certainly explain why he's been so secretive about himself, and also why he doesn't seem to understand or interact with social media 😒 It would also explain why he doesn't have the time to attend classes full time. He probably has a job, and he's taking classes on nights and weekends to switch to a better career. I've given a lot of thought as to his job, and I think it must be something that allows for him to write part of the time. A shop attendant, maybe? Or perhaps a normal office job, but one that is clearly under-challenging him do you sleep I don't have time for sleep Todoroki go to bed challenge I don't know what that means. here's what it means: please for me for my family for my grades for my date tomorrow for my SANITY go. to. bed. Fine. But this isn't over. good NIGHT

01:30 ✓✓
lolololol what do u call tikka masala then
01:31
a huge lapse of judgment that i will shut down tomorrow but also you don't have access to that channel and don't have any proof?
01:31 ✓✓
i don't need info on ur current escapades when i have logs for the rescue of one "bakugou katsuki" :)
01:31
okay um may i just say that i am very sorry and you have opened my eyes to the error of my ways and i will never vigilante again?
01:32 ✓✓
oh lol idc
01:32
u m
01:32 ✓✓
i just needed u to know that i had enough dirt on you to throw u in a jail cell until ur hair is gray n if u say anythn to anyone about anythn i will know and i will come for you. capisce?
01:32
capisce, so incredibly capished, the capisciest but uh, idk what im supposed to not be telling anyone, exactly?
01:33 ✓✓
im getting there ok so srsly if u tell anyone ill probably just skip the trial and jump straight to murdering u in ur sleep but im on unofficial protection duty for this kid and there's been some complications
01:34
okay. okay wow?? i guess ill just start with, "what complications?"??? or no wait, what do you even need me for???? you're literally the third ranked hero in japan?????
01:35 ✓✓
the answer to both of those qs are above your pay grade
01:35
am i getting paid
01:35 ✓✓
no but i need someone in the know in case a certain asshole decides to break into my apartment again
01:35
who the hell has the balls to break into YOUR apartment?? wait "again"?????? this is an ongoing problem????? CALL THE POLICE, MAYBE?? omg how did i become the one advocating for someone to call the cops
01:36 ✓✓
don't worry about it ive probably got it handled and if you go to the police no one will ever find your body i just need the occasional emergency backup and a secondary safe house if it comes to that
01:36
is now a good time to tell you i live in a shitty 1LDK
01:37 ✓✓
it doesn't need to be nice just someplace no one will think to look
01:37
well ill do my best so you don't murder me, i guess

Chapter End Notes

yaaaay endnotes:
- @ everyone who offered to beat up the sun for me: thanks <333
- almost didnt update today bc life is catching up to me. i might have to take a week or two off in the near future, just a heads up
- wait i know why this chapter took me so long to code up, its because its REALLY LONG, LOL.
- you know what else is really long? qcon. im still trying to decide how i want to handle it, bc uploading all that at once will actually kill me, but the resulting cliffhanger might actually kill you. decisions.
- last minute i was like, wait doesn't signal have some stuff at the top when it's a brand new convo between you and someone you've never spoken to?
- - unfortunately i was correct
- also unfortunately, i forgot how to center elements that werent vertical or text, and then i finally figured it out... and ao3 said "oof, hate that" and just... right aligned it...... accepted all the code and everything, but decided to put it on the right hand side anyway. i scream laughed.
- i did eventually fix it but. ao3. why. why.
- also i would like to ask once again that ao3 gift us with the power of flexboxes. i feel like ive said this several times but EVERY TIME i look up the solution to an issue im having, the internet says "use a flexbox" and i say "I DONT HAVE A FLEXBOX, INTERNET" and it says "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
- eri's name this chapter is from when i said to my beta "hey what should eri's name in hawks' phone be" and got sent an old vine in response

Chapter 18

@PreludeLive

Despite our best efforts, those at Qcon have refused to heed the dangers of their actions. This is a huge disrespect to not only us, but to the impressionable youths that plan to attend tomorrow. Are we really going to stand by and let this happen?

EngineMan | crispy air Today at 12:24
@everyone
We know a lot of you are planning to go to QCon and we hope you all have a great time. However, we also hope you'll take the proper precautions to stay safe: be aware of your surroundings, stay in public areas, make sure your phone is charged, etc. And stay hydrated!

There have been rumors that a certain group is planning a protest outside the convention center. There's no way to tell if protestors will actually show up, but the QCon organizers are aware and are prepared for this behavior:
https://twitter.com/QCon/status/1557106614670610331?t=QQUkf6hsc43XHuuekvD5Jg&s=19

If you run into anything concerning or even that you're unsure about, #curry is always full of people willing to help. Remember, QCon staff will also be there to make sure the convention stays a safe place for everyone; you can always approach them if you have questions or need help with anything.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Chapter End Notes

the sun is still too hot:
- that emote, if you cant see it, is homage to how i also cannot see it. my friends have been using emotes for weeks that i cant even see and i just have to guess at their moods randomly now. its a fun new game. now you're playing it too.
- ive been working on the qcon chapter(s) and no longer feel like i should change my name and stow away on a boat to antarctica every time i think about trying to finish it, which means its coming along! it still needs work but the chapter itself is 3/4ths written. (this does not include any of the coding, end me)
- heads up, qcon is gonna be HELLA LONG. the current plan is to post the first half on some future friday, and then the second half on the following day. that'll give me a chance to work through all of the bugs/edits over a more reasonable timeframe and wont make the readers wait too long. im not sure yet when it'll be ready, but hopefully soon-ish
- (what if i split it into three chapters tho haha jk, unless 👀. god its so long tho and its not even finished yet, why have i done this to myself)
- last weekend my brain said "we need new skins for qcon" and i said "NO. NO WE DON'T." and my brain said "😶" and i said "UGH. FINE. YOU WIN." honestly i think those are all about done but booyyy did ao3 not like that new code at aaalllll that sure was a late night for no reason. thinking about nesting some divs? don't! don't do that! ao3 says "thats a lotta divs :0 they look lonely, i think you need some paragraph tags in there" and i say "what, no, take them back" and ao3 says "you're welcome 😊". anyway the moral of the story is use tables.
- theres a sliigghhtt alignment problem with the new twitter skin and i know why its doing it but not how to fix it just yet. thats a problem for nextweek!me
- ugh thats right i still have to draft up templates for those skins from the dregs of the insane code i wrote at 2am. im scared to look at it. where do i get an unpaid intern

XCFV | moon cate blanchett Today at 10:16
anyway a bunch of them are at qcon now. sounds like so far theyre just staying outside and chanting dumb offensive rhymes but they havent done anything illegal so the police can't force them to disperse

bluenoise | (🐮 + 🤠) x ♾ Today at 10:16

The opening ceremony was really good!! I took a bunch of pictures but I'll just show them to you later. Service has been spotty. And did you meet up with your friends? Yep! They're both really nice. Shouto-kun says he doesn't have anything in particular he wants to see so he'll probably just sit and watch the talks, but Haneyama-san wants to check out the exhibition hall. It's pretty small since this is the first year for the con, but she said she thought she knew someone hosting a booth and wanted to catch up with him. I'm glad you're having a good time. :) Let me know when you're on the train home. Will do!

Have you been looking? Two of the booths in the vendor hall are being run by quirkless people, two of the upcoming panels have quirkless guests, half a dozen of the staff volunteers are quirkless.

Maybe check your facts before you open your mouth online.

Chapter End Notes

known bugs:
- a few people let me know that on safari using an iphone, the twitter numbers/icons dont line up right. ive tried a few ways to fix this but they say its still broken [update] this issue has reportedly been fixed?
- NEW issue, on some ios devices the new twitter layout just isn't laying correctly?? not sure what's up with this, but if you see it, you can file a bug report in the comments lol

 

y'all didnt fight the sun hard enough but hopefully summer has had its fill of torturing me:
- haha. yes. hello.
- i was really gung-ho about that whole "update palooza!!" plan but then the word count passed 10k and i also made several new skins and did a bunch of code cleaning and spent i don't even know how many hours writing the html except that it was several hours too many and suddenly an entire month had passed by. the chapter text is 95% done. the chapter code is maybe 80%. life is ridiculous right now but im hoping to post part two next friday
- also i was kind of burning out on this fic hardcore. im not the kind of author who can just spin by themselves i require feedback and encouragement,,
- why did i, last minute, suddenly decide i was going to break my previous promise to myself and build in custom emotes? excellent question. i dont know. i dont know and im mad about it.
- - "but look how pretty it is!" my lizard brain says. "but look how many chapters we have to *go back and edit*" i say in return
- - do you know how many "pretty things" ive added in and havent gone back to edit in yet?? A LOT. SO MANY.
- - i am my own worst enemy
- i also rewrote a bunch of perfectly functioning twitter code. learning is a curse.
- thanks for all the comments!! they're really helpful for my motivation <3

Are you done with your date? I have a minor emergency

Today • 14:39

Date hasn't started yet, what's up? ? But didn't you tell me you were leaving at 11 Yeah, I wanted to get here early Three hours early? It takes a while on the train to get here, okay!! And then there's making sure the reservation is set, and that it's not going to rain, and that if it DOES rain then we still have things planned out to do for the rest of the day, and that the game center isn't closed, and that there aren't any villains in the area waiting to ruin everything, and that my hair looks good You need reservations for boba? Shut. We don't ALWAYS do boba, ok What's your "minor emergency" Alright. You "have a girlfriend" When someone says "Ahahah yeah maybe!" when you invite them someplace, does that mean they don't want to go? Um?? Gonna need more context than that, bud I'm wondering if I made him uncomfortable and if I should apologize. Him????? I mean that's cool! that's totally fine! I'm very touched that you would tell me! ? Tell you what What What? I'm not in the habit of inviting people places and I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly Oh Uh Did he say anything else? He added a ":)" At the end That seems positive! I mean, not as good as a ";)" but not bad Why would a ";)" be better? I almost forgot who I was talking to A wink is flirtier Why would Shuttai be flirting with me? IM SORRY THE ONE YOU'RE INVITING SOMEWHERE IS SHUTTAI??? Yes. Why? UM??????????? AND HE?? SAID "MAYBE"??????? Yes. OOHHHHH MY GOD This is not helpful. OH MY GOD, SHOUTO WHO ARE YOU EVEN JUST "INVITING" SHUTTAI FRICKIN QUIRK JESUS OVER HERE AND HE SAYS "MAYBE" OH MY GOD

Chapter End Notes

relevant:
- i pushed some code that im SURE broke some things, i still have to go back and fix them. but if you notice them feel free to give me a shout so i can find them faster
- thanks again to the people who threw me some free real estate usernames!
- to everyone who commented last chapter 🥺 y'all were really nice to me,,, thank you 🙏 🙏 💞

gratuitous rant:
- my css file is over three thousand lines.
- 😩
- atom already wasnt happy with qcon part 1 or 2, but it is BUCKLING under the weight of part 3. i separated it out bc atom was acting like it was having a stroke and i got scared. part 3 now has two parts within atom :/ qcon is so long yall, why did i do this to myself
- if anyone's curious, ~2k lines is where atom says "oh god what have you done"
- which seems like not that many?? atom what are you doing
- fun fact, the kamino heist from qab1 was smth like 3 times longer than any other chapter in qab1. both qcon part 1 and 2 individually are longer than the kamino heist. i havent measured part 3 but i feel like its close to 4 times as long. i really said "you know how the chapters are 1-2k? what if 12k :)"
- - disclaimer, idk if its actually 12k but it FEELS like that (or more)
- see you in two weeks (?)

Still back in the panel room. We're working on barricading the doors

Shouto | "whatever side Shuttai is on" Today at 14:41
Good plan
We're pretty near to the east hall. Several of the aggressors have made it up the stairs and are wandering the halls, but the majority are still near the entrance with Mirko

Shouto | "whatever side Shuttai is on" We're pretty near to the east hall. Several of the aggressors have made it up the stairs and are wandering the halls, but the majority are still near the entrance with Mirko

They surely have the numbers for it, and Mirko can't hold off against them forever.
I plan to take action shortly

Shouto | "whatever side Shuttai is on" Today at 14:43
Crawler-san's friend has suggested I found a map of the pipe system for the building. He's trying to figure out which pipes to block off so the water would back up to the fountain in the east hall lobby.

Spike | what Today at 14:43
why would the water back up??

Shouto | "whatever side Shuttai is on" Today at 14:44
We're going to turn on all of the faucet and block them with clothing and duct tape and then I'll use my ice to block off the right lines

EngineMan | crispy air Today at 14:44
Oh
God
Okay well
That's going to be a fair amount of structural damage

Shouto | "whatever side Shuttai is on" Today at 14:45
Just the fountain, hopefully
He thinks we can avoid damaging the pipe structure too much if I can manage to only freeze the lining of the water main so the majority of water flow isn't blocked off. That should help freeze the opening passageways for the lines that don't lead to the fountain. If not, the reduced surface area inside the pipe plus the backed up faucet should be enough to increase the water flow and spray radius of the fountain. If we time it right, we use the water to freeze a greater range of enemies than I'm normally capable of.

EngineMan | crispy air Today at 14:46
Well
Sounds like a plan, anyway
Good luck

I know you've said you're "in the industry" and I usually like to verify before assigning out what would otherwise basically be vigilante work, but I know you've also said you're not comfortable sharing anything about your personal life. I won't ask, but I hope you know that I'm trusting you

He's fine, I think. A little shaken, but he held his own out there, especially considering he doesn't have any formal training. He was very helpful.

Chapter End Notes

HUGE THANK YOU TO THE WONDERFUL KICKFLIP FOR THE DENKIKO IMAGE 🙏🙏🙏 I OWE YOU MY LIFE

 

obligatory html rant:
- i wasnt going to complain about html stuff this week but omg has anyone seen the new mobile browser reddit interface? what were they THINKING its ATROCIOUS. ive never taken a design class in my life but i am positive all the choices they made in that redesign were the wrong ones, it's so bad. i partially want to code it up just to subject other people to it, it's TERRIBLE. like reddit on mobile has been not great the last few years and
- - omg that's it, i suddenly understand. they're doing it on purpose im sure of it, they're making the user experience incrementally worse so that people will finally break and download their mobile app. well im onto you reddit do you hear me? ILL NEVER USE YOUR DUMB TERRIBLE APP.
- other than that, i feel like an IDE failing to work properly when you have an html file that's over 2k lines is really, REALLY dumb? am i the only one who thinks this. how do webpages work, they've gotta be longer than chapters of a fanfic, right? how do they cope
- there was a bug in testing where that one link causes there to be a random horizontal scroll bar if your screen is too small. this didnt happen to me or my beta on the secondary testing site OR on ao3, but if this is happening to you (and you'd know) please let me know! i can fix it, i just dont want to if i dont have to if ao3 is already fixing it for me
- you may have noticed the chapter count 🙃 i have to do a bunch of writing and also some math, but i think 4 chapters will not quite cover it. ill have a more accurate number there the next time i post.
- also this chapter is MASSIVE, there is only so much me and my tired beta can do. please please tell me if you notice any weird floating elements or smth not aligned correctly or a missing/incorrect timestamp 🙏🙏

 

im taking a hiatus to work on the ending and also my sanity but in the meantime:
- i might write a side story! or two! or zero, idk, i'll see how i feel after my break
- there's a handful of people on the ✨ super secret (not that secret) server ✨ who are also interested in writing side stories, or writing full blog posts from the existing stubs, or writing in-universe news articles. if you're interested in joining our noble cause, we'll be posting to the following collection:

Are you aware that one of your students was involved in the QCon riot this weekend?

 

09:46

I find "was involved in a riot" a funny way to phrase "helped de-escalate the situation". But I had heard, yes. He was involved in an official capacity without the proper licensing, which is issue enough. I simply find it suspicious that two of your students have been recently involved in incidents related to QAB. Regarding Kaminari, I appreciate the heads up. I performed my own investigation and did not find anything of note. You simply believe both incidents to be coincidental? Yes. Your students are likely mixed up in something much bigger than they can handle. QAB is a dangerous organization and I advise you to take this threat seriously. And if they are found to be participating in illegal acts, I assure you their transgressions will not be taken lightly. I would like to remind you that you're talking about one teenager who you questioned without the presence of a lawyer and were unable to press any charges against, and another who helped quell a riot. Excuse me if I'm not taking your conspiracy theories seriously.

i really am sorry about how qcon turned out for you tho
i feel like i should have been there

Shuttai Today at 15:19
It's not your fault even a little bit. And everything turned out fine in the end!

crawler Today at 15:20
i sort of feel like maybe it kind of is, tho?
*my fault
like, im the one who's been fighting with prelude on twitter, im a big reason things kept escalating, and knew he was an asshole but i didn't think he was an asshole with the power to affect the real world like he obviously has
i should have been a lot more careful
esp bc you and engineman kept telling me to knock it off and be the bigger man and walk away and i just kept not doing that
and maybe if i had things wouldn't have turned out this way

Shuttai Today at 15:22
Literally none of that is your fault. You couldn't have known how far he would take things and even if you had, you're not responsible for his fanbase and the protest and the riot. He was going to be an asshole online with or without you

crawler Today at 15:22
yeah. idk. maybe youre right
i just can't help but feel like i could have changed things

Shuttai Today at 15:24
Maybe you could have and maybe you couldn't have. What matters is what we do about it now

idk what to even do about it now

QCon

by Shuttai on September 27, 20X4 - 135 Comments

 

A few days before QCon, I drafted a post about what the convention was trying to do and why, and why the world right now needs people who will speak up about the unfair inequalities of our so-called modern world, free from the problems that plagued us in the past. But I was going to wait until after the event to post anything. I wanted to see how QCon would be received by the attendees and the public, and if that would change my opinion.

I had heard about the planned protest, but I honestly hadn't given it much thought. It seemed bullheaded and backwards that anyone would be so blatantly anti-mutant quirk in this day and age, especially under the thin guise of "protecting quirkless people". If they were interested in "protecting" quirkless people, why weren't they advocating to remove the "quirk type" field from job applications, or working to raise awareness of the depressingly high rates of suicide among those diagnosed as quirkless? If they were honestly interested in helping, why weren't they involved in QCon?

I knew they weren't protesting for an honest cause, but I never expected things to turn violent. I don't think any of us did.

There's a lot of blame being directed to a lot of different places, but we're not here to discuss QCon staff or attendees or protesters. No, we're here to talk about how this happened in the first place.

We're here to talk about Prelude.

For months, I've avoided giving my personal opinion in Prelude because I considered it unwarranted and unprofessional. We're both creators and citizens of the internet, and he'd never done anything to me, personally. Given the recent events, I no longer feel obligated to keep my opinion to myself, so here it is:

Prelude is an irresponsible asshole.

He has a large following on both YouTube and Twitter, and it is my belief that things Prelude said to his public audience directly caused them to organize the protest at QCon. There are people who would disagree with that claim, and sure, that's my opinion. I don't have proof. But it's a matter of FACT is that Prelude has said nothing about this behavior. By not saying anything, he's implicitly condoning it. His followers think he's on their side; and maybe he is. Maybe he really is that much of an asshole.

Innocent people got hurt at QCon. Prelude has a responsibility to speak up and put a stop to his follower's behavior, because innocent people will continue to get hurt unless he does.

And if he continues to enable his followers, then maybe we also have a responsibility. A responsibility to stop him.

 

 

 

 

Chapter End Notes

reminder:
- UA never enacted dorms in this universe (i forgot for a hot minute) so thats why kirishima cant just go running to aizawa
- not a reminder but i also wanted to put it at the top for visibility: a recent update to ao3 broke a lot of things. im working on it. remember me as i was when i was beautiful.

 

but anyway, welcome back:
- HAHA REMEMBER WHEN I WAS GOING TO FINISH THIS FIC BEFORE 2023, REMEMBER HOW THAT WAS MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. HAHA. YEAH. GOOD TIMES.
- we're back to normal chapter lengths and my sanity thanks me
- my sanity doesnt however thank me for spending the entire three-day weekend obsessing over the draft of the final arc, especially when its still not finished
- - its close! i think! i hope. god, its already so, so long
- my life decisions arent totally to blame tho, there's also ao3's new updates! idk what they did but it was something and it broke so, so many things on my end. ive fixed a lot of it and had to update a bunch of my code and sent several sad emails to ao3's support email. their replies indicate that my suffering will continue.
- idk the update schedule, but probably random fridays when i happen to have enough time to hammer out a bunch of html and scream at the sky (and also ao3)
- i dont really believe in publicly oversharing online because im super paranoid. but imagine that this is an authors note life update thats an 8 out 10 in level of lunacy because it has been A Time my dudes. so many times. all of the times. and it will continue to be A Time for 3-5 more months after which im sort of planning to flee the country, but it's going to require several phone calls and :/ i hate phone calls.
- thanks to kaichicken for help on the articles!
- prepare yourselves for the final arc! please tell me your theories 👀
- - also tell me anything you'd like to see before the end. this might be your last chance! no promises but you never know

Even if they have the financial support they need, they may not feel up to running the con again and that's COMPLETELY valid of them.

Even if this doesn't turn out to be total bullshit, protesting is legal in Japan. Breaking someone's arm isn't.

it's legal to attend a PEACEFUL protest. also no one's talking about the asswipe who's suing qcon. this is a different asswipe

14:17
hi Koichi it's nice to hear from you, I'm doing well thanks for asking 14:22 sorry i know this is out of the blue but im just. dealing with a lot Read
14:23
I'd believe you if we were in person, maybe 14:24 then again, my quirk only tells me if you believe what you're saying 14:24 yeah that's the problem im having with your brother also Read
14:24
i can't tell if he hates me for me or if it's because we used to go out Read
14:24
why are you hanging out with my brother?? 14:25 also it's the second, sorry. he's just Like That to everyone I've ever dated 14:25 im at the police station bc my apartment was broken into but now im trying to convince him the guy who did it was my arch nemesis the yakuza boss who kept sending me death threats on twitter and he's not having it Read
14:26
but like!! Read
14:27
i know it sounds crazy but theres just too many coincidences to write off entirely. why ELSE would yakuza have been present during the violent protest my twitter arch nemesis kicked off? they dont exactly fit the profile of the other protestors Read
14:27
and his threats have been getting REALLY specific and im pretty sure i mentioned on my twitter that i planned to go to that event but then i ended up not going because of some other things that came up Read
14:27
its a stretch but is it THAT much of a stretch?? Read
14:27

14:29
I'm still with living with my brother 14:29 i really appreciate the offer, like really truly, but i could actually rather die than spend another minute with your brother judging me Read
14:29
valid 14:29 let me know if you change your mind 14:29 or if I can help in any other way 14:30 or if your arch nemesis the yakuza boss starts any more trouble 14:30 I'll beat him up for you 💪💪 14:30 lol thanks Read

Chapter End Notes

rain again today:
- i have to write this fic in stages so i dont get overwhelmed but that means when im stitching it together im like "who WROTE this, what meaning does this section have" and i leave it because im sure its important but it takes a few days before i remember why it's there (assuming i remember at all). i keep saying "im sure past me knows whats up" but thats a lot of trust to put in someone who cant even remember to water plants once a week
- the ao3 update catastrophe continues to plague me but ive fixed a lot of it. if ao3 pushes another update like that again tho, ill... idk, either die or riot
- i keep trying to think of something funny or relevant to say but i think instead ill just go take a nap
- hope you're having a good day 💖

Hojo Y. Heard back from our Tokyo PD friend. Nighteye's agency and the police don't appear to be quite on the same page. The police are asking for access to all investigation files pertaining to us, which would help us out a lot since then we'd know what he has. But Nighteye is trying to barter for custody of some members picked up the other day, which our friend is obviously trying to prevent. 10:34 We're not making much progress but neither is Nighteye, which we're taking as a win.

How do I know if I "can't take a hint" You can't But go on, what are we talking about Ashido-san was talking about how annoying guys could be when they couldn't take a hint If you ask someone to do something with you and they don't immediately say yes or no, are they being coy or are they actually saying that they don't want to go I know it's bad of me but it's kind of cute to see you anxious Very humanizing ? I'm not anxious Suuure you're not Well, maybe he really has something going on, or maybe he's just shy? It can be nerve wracking to meet someone you've only talked to online Oh never mind he got back to me We're going for coffee on Saturday Also we've already met ???? Are you telling me you've already MET SHUTTAI B r u h Tell me these things!!! ? I'm not talking about Shuttai ???? Then who are you inviting someplace??? Midoriya-kun WHO IS MIDORIYA-KUN???

Chapter End Notes

the noose continues to tighten:
- hey tabe is my FAVORITE. he shows up next chapter too, i love him so much
- ive also gotten irrationally attached to a handful of recurring npcs that were initially only recurring for convenience and no one else probably notices their existences but its fine. i can love them all by myself
- the twitter skin is finally (mostly) fixed i think!! plus i updated some stuff about it that had been bothering me for a while. now i have to go back to previous chapters and update it there and i dont want to.
- - im working on a regex to do it for me but then i got mad and quit. turns out regex replace doesnt work like i thought it did... maybe someday, bc doing that by hand would suck a lot
- i keep thinking "why is it taking me so long to code these chapters, didnt i get really fast at this" and i did, i did get pretty fast at coding chapters. but the chapters are so much longer than they used to be. but i also cant cut them anywhere because at this point we're taking it one day at a time baybee
- the next chapter is almost done but the PROBLEM IS that i had a half-written one shot i wanted to put chronologically between ch24 and ch25. so maybe ill be able to bully myself into writing that but maybe i wont, we'll see
- hope y'all had a good week 💖

Jin^2

like sure it wouldn't have fixed EVERYTHING but at least it would have been a start i can't believe he had the audacity to dodge!!
10:30 ✓✓
i know right!! What did you expect him to do, stand still??
10:30
maybe!! I dunno!! i guess im used to people underestimating me a little more :/// guess i just have to get faster or a longer knife 🤔
10:30 ✓✓
I feel like maybe we shouldn't be antagonizing the yakuza we have to work with for the forseeable future you'd look HOT with a katana
10:30
i WOULD wouldn't i i just god i mean yeah everything here SUCKS and i hate ALL OF THEM but id hate all of them anyway even if they hadn't gone out of their way to murder our fucking friend it just makes me so ANGRY that shiggy still hasn't done ANYTHING when did we become such giant pushovers?? what the hell is shiggy even wasting his time doing??
10:31 ✓✓
He said something about "waiting for sensei to decide on our next course of action", but I dunno. It HAS been a really long time lets just do it ourselves No let's not do that, that's a terrible idea
10:31
so in the meantime we're just supposed to suck it up? for how long? until they kill another one of us? or do we keep waiting, even then? stain wouldn't take this laying down. hell, qab wouldn't take this laying down and they're not even a real group! did you see what they did at that convention??
10:31 ✓✓
Terrifying stuff, glad I wasn't there they have more balls than we do thats for sure!!
10:32
that's what im saying!! qab would actually DO something not just sit in their hands like we are uggghhh
10:32 ✓✓
How do they get anything done? They're pretty much a shadow organization. There's no organization in like... shadows too hard to see anything Exactly. Well, sort of there should be a shadow organization convention HELL yeah there should be, that would be great im pretty smart!!!
10:32
yeah but they're a shadow organization with a DISCORD SERVER
10:32 ✓✓
Wait are you still in that server?? I thought Shigaraki told you to stop supporting them? hes gonna be sooo maaaaddddd
10:32
theres a lot of things shiggy doesnt know about and what he dosen't know can hurt him

Tortiv | goat Today at 13:58
Idk if this is the right channel for this but I'm in Shibuya and there's this guy with a kid that he does not look like he should have

EngineMan | sunsnail Today at 14:00
@Tortiv | goat Have you tried approaching him and asking?

Tortiv | goat Today at 14:01
Not yet. He's scary af

bluenoise | snermaid Today at 14:02
just because someone's physical appearance is scary doesn't mean they can't be a dad
👆 4
but if you're concerned the best way is to go up and ask the CHILD some questions
don't address the adult, if it is an abduction situation he'll lie about it. don't be aggressive, just ask things like "what's your name?" and "how are you doing? what are you doing today?" things like that
innocuous questions that will give the kid a chance to let you know if something's wrong

Tortiv | goat Today at 14:02
Ok that's a good point but
I'll just get a picture
Ok here

I'm just saying this guy looks like a criminal fr
and I really do not want to talk to him
There's a group of women here who keep looking like they want to go over and talk to him but they're cowards like me

Chapter End Notes

local dabihawks writer gives hawks healthy boundaries for once in his life, incidentally preventing dabihawks:
- updated the twitter skin further instead of fixing the previous chapters 🙃
- i ALMOST got html to give in and give me a hacky version of a modal view (which i just found out the name for today) but then i couldnt figure out the math of absolute/relative and sibling selector nonsense and i worked at it so long i started to go cross-eyed so im giving up for now. maybe ill figure it out before the end...
- literally just now noticed a bug with signal skins when the contact name gets too long. will fix that... shortly. maybe after a nap.
- i may disappear for a bit. life is getting to be a lot as i work through phase one of absconding from the country
- see you sometime 💖

Fraudulent Smells: The Nose Crime of the Century
October 1 · Hero★NEWS via Yap News

Celebrities and heroes are no strangers to unrelated third-parties profiting off of their brands; we've all seen the monstrosity that is Garfield Might. But this latest scam targeting the perfume market may be the first of its kind. The extremely popular Sweet Dreams by Midnight has sold over 200k units. Pro Hero Midnight says she had no knowledge of the perfume until this week: "I never launched any perfume lines. You guys do know I'm a high school teacher, right? When would I have time for that?"

Another Near Miss for Number One
October 1 · Juzo via Yap News

What would have been a smooth rescue operation only a few years ago turned into three minor injuries for civilians on Monday afternoon. After a bank heist attempt on Shinsei Bank in Ginza had been taken care of, Rock Lock said the senior hero seemed "like he was slipping" and "became tired quickly". Though All Might had come directly from another save, this is certainly cause for alarm seeing as this is hardly his first fumble.

A "Cow"-nterfeit bride?!
October 1 · Japan Digital via TOKYO Tomorrow

The torrid romance between rancher Nousore Jo and his bovine trespasser, Kawai Touru, has been the talk of Tokyo for months, but is the honeymoon phase over before it's even begun? An email from would-be-bride's family to Nousore revealed a shocking truth: Kawai's quirk isn't a cow mutation at all. "I don't know what to think," said Nousore, looking shaken even days after the discovery. "Her quirk doesn't matter to me. But the lying does."

Hello Ryukyu-san, this is Bubblegirl from Sir Nighteye's agency. I got your number from Centipeder, who got it from Gang Orca. I apologize if this is untoward. I have some information pertinent to the current Hassaikai investigation that I need to share. Yes, I remember you. Bubble quirk, right? Why come to me? Sir Nighteye is the lead agency on this investigation Is he alright? no no he's fine I obtained the information via means that Sir Nighteye wouldn't approve of Just tell him. He'll find out sooner or later I can't do that. He'd KILL ME. ??? Do we need to get the police involved I can help you file a restraining order Sorry, that was unprofessional, I'm a little stressed out. I'm sure he wouldn't actually kill me, but he would likely fire me. And probably make sure I never work in the hero industry ever again. Are you aware of his zero tolerance QAB policy? What I quite literally only found out about QAB last week What does a zero tolerance policy even mean It's very complicated. And maybe not best done over insecure means. Would you have time to meet in person? I can get a break in two hours, come to Shinjuku

Are you busy tonight I could really use your help with a case

16:21

You know I'm not on active duty, right And that I have a day job I'm a teacher I have a class to teach tomorrow morning Call in a sub Why would I do that It's the Hassaikai. The Yakuza group? Yes. Chisaki Kai will likely be present and your quirk is our best chance for dealing with him with minimal risk to everyone involved Isn't that Sir Nighteye's case? That is correct. However, I have an informant who is only willing to work with us if we keep Sir Nighteye uninvolved You have to know how suspicious that sounds I know What kind of informant is it that you're willing to work with them anyway? I don't know much about them except that they're affiliated with QAB and they've been vouched for

16:42

Aizawa? Sorry I just spent the last two minutes laughing so hard I couldn't breathe When and where do you need me

 

 

 

 

Chapter End Notes

893:
- refers to the yakuza
- see the etymology section of the wikipedia article if curious

we're officially off hiatus:
- hoping to update weekly (on fridays) but may have to skip next friday due to irl nonsense
- i dont actually know how many chapters are left but its more than five and less than ten so i split the difference
- stage one of absconding from the country is complete! but stage two is going less well than id like, given the extreme unwillingness of the local government to be helpful in any capacity
- ive been reuploading previous chapters because the local copies of the files say they've changed but to be honest i have no idea what the changes are? im sure it's fine
- just in case it wasnt clear ive been ignoring twitter changes and will continue to do so until past the inevitable death of twitter. just like japanese yahoo, this is (pretend) japanese twitter now
- thanks @ several people, including but not limited to semi for the perfume name i didnt use but laughed a lot at, chicken for putting up with me crying about [redacted] for literal hours and writing me a 3 page guide book, yuki for being a temp sanity check beta, and my regular beta for the regular beta

ok so the whole raid idea didn't go off with no hitches and that's sort of why i'm here because i think maayybbee it would be a bad idea for me to be in public right now the boss dude got arrested and that's good but it also means everyone who DIDN'T get arrested is super duper pissed off and running around trying to find the leak and the leak was me, so
anyway i'm really sorry but i don't think i'll be able to make our date this weekend :((((((

I agreed to these terms, under the condition that an arrest was made We made the arrest. I pushed the paperwork through. It was rejected and sent back to my office for corrections within the hour. The only notable input was "take more pride in your work" After a few more revisions, it became clear that it was the mention of the organization that they took issue with uh oh lov or qab QAB. How did you know? hldon imma land

nousore-san's family met kawai-san's family and apparently were suspicious when her mother's quirk was and her father's quirk was a minor dog mutation

Prelude and Fat Gum taken out in one week, lets goooooo

 

132 days left til 4.0 @Felineal • 21s

Fat Gum's license has been SUSPENDED pending investigation. Nothing about this is permanent or definitive, the HPSC is just trying to distract us. We need REAL changes and REAL consequences, not just a slap on the wrist.

Are you kidding me? Fat Gum is one of the LEAST problematic heroes and you take his license away? #freefatgum

 

Bolt was the greatest movie of all time @boltnyc • 1m

Yeah because taking HEROES off the streets is what we need right now with the LoV running around #freefatgum

yes this is about fatgum. it's about fucking time

 

Tatami @turtleneckturtleheart • 2m

Hey! Guess what! It's freaking weird that you'd hound a teenager's DMs for their political hot takes! Blanket statement: I will not be talking about Fat Gum, at all. I don't owe any of you anything. Have a backpack boy moodboard, you asshole weirdos

Yes this is a repost, no I am not ashamed. Look at it. Look at it and be healed.

Fat Gum's suspension is a good first step, but what we really need is system reform. If laws aren't updated, this will happen all over again but this time, the 14yo intern might end up in the hospital, or worse.

Maxwell's Angel @isotrophicisotope • 3m

honestly not a fan of qab but i never liked fat gum. his hero form is barely even recognizable as human, how is that supposed to be comforting to the people he's supposed to be saving? if we're taking licenses away can we take away orcas next

 

Fruit Juice(tm) @banananaanananana • 4m

the hpsc thinks that by (barely) addressing the fat gum situation we'll conveniently forget that they're trying to sue @inventorextrodinaire

guess what? we won't.

Woke up this morning to find out the HPSC apparently gives in to terrorists. I thought we lived in a democracy but I guess not. #freefatgum #justiceforprelude

16:13
shuttai is literally just a high school kid Read
16:13
he never wanted fat gum to get fired Read
16:13
it's so fucking stupid Read
16:14
No one would have paid attention to the endangerment of interns if he hadn't posted about it 16:14 just because they wouldn't have paid attention to it doesn't mean it wasn't THERE it was still a PROBLEM Read
16:15
but the problem is SYSTEMIC and we're going to scapegoat fat gum for it and call it a day?? Read
16:15
I know this isn't the time but lmao "systemic" you're even starting to sound like him 16:15 Does he know yet? 16:15 About Fat Gum 16:16 i dont think so and i dont want to be the one to tell him but uugghhhh he has to find out SOMEHOW Read
16:16

Shuttai Today at 16:19
Fatgum's license was revoked??????
How did this happen????

crawler Today at 16:20
it's not your fault

Shuttai Today at 16:20
How is this not my fault??
I literally wrote the blog post that got him fired!
Oh my god I got a hero fired I'm a monster

crawler Today at 16:21
look it sucks all around and i know this isn't what you wanted
but it is not your fault
you didn't say anything untrue in your post
there are serious problems that people should be paying attention to, and it's hella lucky no one got hurt this time especially that intern
you didn't do anything wrong

Shuttai Today at 16:21
If I didn't do anything wrong then why is someone FIRED

crawler Today at 16:21
because sometimes shitty things just happen
the HPSC didn't want to own up to the fact that the intern system needs an overhaul and they're making fat gum a scapegoat

Shuttai Today at 16:22
That doesn't change the fact that I brought attention to the issue
I still made this happen
What am I supposed to do with that
I don't know what to do

crawler Today at 16:22
it's still NOT YOUR FAULT
you didn't call for him to be fired you just pointed out a problem and the problem is REAL you didn't lie you didn't embellish you just told the truth
people did the wrong thing with that truth and that's not on you

Shuttai Today at 16:22
If I never said anything, none of this would have ever happened
How is that not my fault

crawler Today at 16:23
like, okay
if your mom was buying a car from some sketchy dude and you were really suspicious but you didnt say anything to stop her from buying the car and then a few weeks later the head gasket blew and she had to spend a bunch of money to get it fixed. would it be your fault for not telling her to not buy the car?

Shuttai Today at 16:23
Wouldn't it be??

crawler Today at 16:23
NO it's the sketchy dudes fault
ugh
alright maybe that was a bad example
but if some hero student had gotten themselves killed because of the complete lack of supervision during their internship, could you live with yourself if you could have published that blog post and didnt?

Shuttai Today at 16:24
I don't know

crawler Today at 16:24
i dont think you could have
i think you HAD to say something, even if the outcome isn't what you wanted it to be
and honestly, you know what you should do if the outcome isn't what you wanted it to be?

Shuttai Today at 16:24
What

crawler Today at 16:24
you should write about it
you should tell people about why this isn't a good thing and that they should stop celebrating what is clearly just the hpsc covering their asses in the worst possible way

Shuttai Today at 16:24
I don't know
Maybe

crawler Today at 16:25
think about it
sleep on it
rewatch some all might videos
this isn't your fault

Shuttai Today at 16:26
I've got to go, I have homework

crawler Today at 16:26
okay, you go
but don't beat yourself up about this

Shuttai Today at 16:26
I'll try not to

 

 

 

 

Chapter End Notes

it's hot and i am melting:
- last week i was all "im going to respond to comments RIGHT AWAY and not put it off and forget" but then i put it off and forgot,, anyway mass response time: thanks so much for all your enthusiastic comments, they mean a lot to me <333
- i was expecting a much more muted response since id taken a break for a few months, but that Was Not The Case and i was kind of overwhelmed by just how many people stopped by the comments section to say nice things
- i have completed a side story! it's in editing right now but im planning to post it before the next chapter. every time i try to explain it to someone i feel crazy so i won't, but denki/himiko is there.
- i updated some really dumb things with the html this week. you know how i coded this fic for mobile? yeah. we all do. so why do i keep adding hover areas for pc???
- i also changed the way images in twitter render and just now realized i never checked to see if that broke previous chapters,,,, whoops,,,,,,,
- stay cool! it's gross and hot out there

Afterword

End Notes

i have new wares to peddle. if you know genshin (or even if you dont!) it would be cool of you to support my newest venture into insanity where i was going to ship two characters who will never meet in canon (childe and alhaitham) but then got distracted by fantasy politics. will the two leads ever get together? haha. i sure hope so.
