Fic quotes for the soul

From this SVSSS genderswap AU:

They stumble across Ming Fan, and even Shang Qinghua and Liu Qingge again while they’re out, but to Shen Qingqiu’s bafflement, Luo Binghe hardly pays them much mind.

Perhaps she’s still in the shy stage? Oh yes, she would be, wouldn’t she?

“Don’t be so skittish about talking to men,” she advises, slightly disappointed at the lack of romantic moments to witness. “They’ll take advantage of that,” she then hastily adds, for character.

“Take advantage how?” Luo Binghe wonders.

Shen Qingqiu keeps her expression ambiguous behind her fan.

“Men like to pursue docile women, of course. The smaller and more gentle you seem, the more appealing you are,” she explains. “Strong women intimidate them.”

Luo Binghe nods thoughtfully.

“I’m going to be strong,” she insists.

Shen Qingqiu pats her hand.

“Binghe most assuredly is.”

Another nod, more resolute.

“That will keep them away, then,” she decides, for some reason looking satisfied with her conclusion.

Er.

Is that really the right expression for the protagonist of a reverse harem story…?

“And in the meantime, this disciple will take to heart Shizun’s advice and give men no quarter,” Luo Binghe continues, gesturing with a clenched fist.

…There has been a mistake.

A love that one so damn much! "Help I think I have broken the story and also my brain," is SQQ's immutable vibe. The petals absolutely killed me.

Isekai where the insert-villain accidentally woos the protagonist are one of my favorite romance genres, ngl

Then you might like Scum Villain's Self Saving System if you haven't read it already.

No, I've only heard the name in passing so far!

The only complete unofficial translation can be...... hard to read, and the official translation is a long ways in the future. BUT, I did my own extra unofficial line edits of the unofficial svsss last winter because I love this book and wanted it to shine. And I'm totally down to share if you ever want it! Just hit me up by dm or such. I can tolerate a lot if I'm enjoying a plot, but i know people who had to tap out of this novel because they Couldn't with the translation grammar, and it makes me sad

swirlingflight · Aug 29, 2021 at 10:55 AM

I was wondering, because I did a quick look around last night and the translation(s) I saw were rough for reading when not feeling great. I will hit you up for that!

“Just kinda seems weird, right? Nobody has a boyfriend and a girlfriend.”

“Well, that's just completely untrue.”

The hug’s now gone on for a little longer than Edward would honestly like, but he resists the urge to move his arms.

“How do you know?” Bobby asks, still speaking into Edward's shoulder. Edward shrugs.

“Art school.”

What he didn’t expect, however, was for the remaining half of Shouta’s class to not only be one hundred percent down with kinda-sorta kidnapping, but to have already laid a lot of the groundwork for it already.

Maybe he should have. But he didn’t. How was it that Shouta, aka Mr. Expulsion, aka Mr. ‘you have no potential,’ had kept all the students from a class that had no scruples against committing things that most people would consider crimes? A class that, having been given time to bond, would probably collectively turn to villainy rather than betray one of their number?

He paused and considered his long relationship with Shouta. Mentally squinted. Never mind. He could see it now.

Well. It wasn’t as if Hizashi wasn’t like that, too. He’d never really considered expelling any of them. Except Mineta. Grape Juice was on thin ice.

As someone who went to art school, that last line is perfect, holy shit. Definitely gonna check this one out!

Several confused glances were exchanged before Todoroki stood. His face was perfectly blank per usual but Shota spoke 'dead inside' fluently enough to see that there was concern there.

This is a good idea, he tells himself. No-one’s going to kill each other. I’m pretty sure no killing will happen on this road trip. Almost 70% sure.

Some of the best of babb-chronicles:

He had to resort to some desperate measures. He had his Batmobile, his
Batcomputer even his own Batphone. So why couldn't he have a BatSnape? He turned towards the headquarters. Yes, that was the idea! He definitely had the means to achieve his goal. To have his very own BatSnape.

It was officially forty-eight minutes after he was supposed to be up, but not like this. Still sitting on his living room couch with a wanted villain, slogging through police profiles on villains in the hope of making Dabi’s recruiting job easier.

Can’t believe I’m basically going through tinder profiles with a villain. He almost giggles in his sleep deprived delirium, before another thought hits him. Fuck, does that make this ‘sin’der? Speed hating? Wretch.com?

Suddenly, he remembers the acronym for the League of Villains that was in every briefing ever, and just about loses it right there on the couch. The tiny wheeze that escapes him is barely passed off as a cough.

Pull it together, Keigo, he reminds himself. You’re on a mission.

Okay, but OkCulprit though. He bites his tongue, wishing Rumi were here to laugh with him about his rapidly deteriorating thought process.

context: fuyumi got hit with a twinswap quirk, now she's in dabi's body (which was with the league) and going by ihai to protect identities.

It takes all of a minute for a certain annoying traitor bird to slip into the kitchen after her with a charming grin that’s only a little forced around the edges. “Hey, uh—Ihai, was it? I realize this is probably a bit of a shock—“

Fuyumi straightens up and slams the mixing bowl on the counter. “Hawks, is it true that you don’t actually feel the pain of your feathers being destroyed?”

Hawks stumbles over his words and stalls out. “…Yes?”

“Good.” Fuyumi clasps her hands together and smiles until she feels the staples start to pull at her cheeks. “Because I’d hate to hurt anyone, but if you aren’t out of this kitchen in the next ten seconds, I’m lighting every one of your feathers on fire.”

Friendly expression frozen on his face, Hawks wordlessly slinks out of the kitchen. Fuyumi nods to herself, mollified, and starts examining the ingredients in the cupboard for ideas.

-----------------

“…That was terrifying,” Hawks says blankly, with a door safely between him and the woman wearing Dabi’s body. “She’s a civilian, isn’t she? Why is she terrifying?”

“I think the stress might be getting to her,” Compress says delicately.

Shigaraki snorts, still playing that stupid game instead of helping Hawks do damage control. “She’s Dabi’s sister, we should’ve known she’d eventually snap.”

“Took all of four and a half hours,” Spinner mutters.

“What’s she in the kitchen for, though? Didn’t she already clean it? She probably did a terrible job,” Twice says.

“A thousand yen says she’s a stress baker,” Spinner says.

“No bet,” Compress sighs.

Reigen had always kind of assumed he’d wake up in the hospital one day.

As a man incapable of choosing any career that did not involve sticking his nose—and neck—where it did not belong, Reigen had figured it was only a matter of time before some angry ghost or angry spouse knocked his lights out. This was a neutral statement, a simple matter of fact with nothing to be done about it.

Now that it had happened, it was almost validating to have been proven so very right. It was not just “some ghost” or “some spouse” that had done him in. Rather it was the 2-for-1 combination of both, in the form of a very vengeful spirit-powered-husband-mecha-suit.

How To Survive The Weirdest Experience Of Your Life said:

“Hokage-sama,” He begins formally, because he hasn’t been a civilian long enough to forget proper procedure. “I have foiled an attempted kidnapping at this hands of this man. He broke into the Hyuuga Compound and I caught him carrying an unconscious Hinata Hyuuga out of her home. Then he stabbed me when I successfully liberated her from his grasp and I made the executive decision to choke a bitch.”

Okay, maybe he’s a little rusty at this thing, but whatever. It’s not like he’s getting paid anymore.
