Izuku is a firm believer that anyone can be a hero, no matter what their quirk is.

To prove the point, and to win a bet, Izuku swears he is going to get his Aldera classmate with the stretchy eyeballs into UA.

So is there like a social reason lately why people are so concerned over being allowed to do something or being judged for something?

Beyond the pro/anti thing, I mean. It feels like every day there are a few dozen "can I do this or will be people be mad at me" posts, but they don't even feel like the standard questions about the type of content they're writing. It's all stuff like "Can I post after a hiatus, can I reply to comments late, can I edit my own work, is it okay to self insert, is it okay if my chapters are short?"

it almost feels like people are just desperately seeking reassurance before they do ANYTHING. I know the internet can be a harsh place, but man alive, it's okay to step on a few toes now and again. everyone seems paralysed by the idea of doing fandom wrong.

It's tiring just reading them, so I can't imagine how exhausting it must be to have that level of anxiety over a hobby. Why is everyone so scared of their own readers?

writing an izupony fic, how should I do the language/cultural barrier?

It's set at the start of first year, just after the sports festival, at a time we know Pony wasn't totally fluent because Monoma was teaching her swear words. I want the core of the story be that language/culture barrier but I'm trying to figure out how to handle that gap without making Pony seem like she's being my fair lady'd by midoriya lol.

My current thibking is that pony understands MOST of what izuku is saying, but gets lost on idioms or fast talking or specific references to things. While Izuku has no experience talking to someone where japanese is their second language so he over-explains or uses words that are too simple.

But I'm not sure really on how much she doesn't understand? I don't want it to turn into some amelia bedelia taking everything literally gag. basically how do I write a smart character who's limited by their vocabulary?

I upgraded to premium recently, so I can stream ps3 games now. What should I play?

I pretty much missed out on the ps3 generation for anything that wasn't on xbox, I think the only things I ever played were Infamous and ratchet and clank.

So uhhh, what's good? I'm into pretty much everything but I suck at strategy and tactics stuff.
