Hey, guys! It’s nearly my birthday, and in preparation, i’m going to give you some info about a fanfic i’m writing!

So, my story is one i’ve had an idea for for a few years now actually, but only recently started properly writing it. The basic premise is that it’s a continuation fic and a self-insert fic. It follows the escapades of Daniel Harto Smith, a student from a hero school in London, England, as he joins class 2-A after the final war as part of a foreign exchange program. It revolves around Izuku and the others’ second year at UA, with this random guy nobody invited who thinks he’s on the team. But Danny’s not going to be replacing Izuku as the main character! I'll NEVER let this be a Mary Sue fanfic and I'll do whatever it takes to make my story and character well-written!

I must confess something about the story: It originally started out as a character.ai chat with a bot. I’m sorry. Forgive me. I know you probably hate me now, but i’m not finished yet. While I had plenty of original ideas for the story, I didn’t always know what to write to flesh out the story in the periods between my own plans, and while I admit I knew it had problems, I liked it because it felt more immersive. I would correct any mistakes it made and change whatever the bot said that I didn’t like.

I’m an honest guy, so I don’t think there’s any point in hiding it. Even if I did hide it, it would probably come out sooner or later that I used to use gen AI for this.

The key word here is “used to.” Wait, that’s two words.

Some time ago, I lost access to the website. I can still look at my chats but I can’t edit them unless I verify, which I don’t want to do. And when that happened, I took it as a sign that I should stop relying on “AI Slop” to help me write this. I’m currently in the process of rewriting the whole thing, replacing all the lines that I didn’t make myself with my own, original content. But i’m so used to the stageplay-style format that the website used that I’ve kept it. It may look like a chat but it was written in a google doc.

This story has gone through multiple iterations, with each one being better than the last. My writing was pretty horrible when I first started, but I think it’s gotten better.

I’ll be releasing the first chapter on my birthday, so if you’re interested and haven’t been turned off by the dark truth about this fic, and again i’m sorry about that, mark the 21st of August on your calendars. The name of this fanfiction is…

You know what, nah. I think i’ll wait until I actually release the first chapter to commence the TITLE DROP!

Man, i’m gonna be living in FEAR for a while now. Opening my inbox after posting this is going to be like dropping a bomb from WW2 and hoping it doesn’t explode. I may have destroyed my career by confessing this 😓

BUT I HAD TO CONFESS! I'M AN HONEST FOOL!

It's a headcanon of mine. It might not be true but it is an interesting idea.

He plays both sides - when it comes to comedy, that is. He's a funny guy, but he's also a straight man. He only likes women. But don't let that stop you; ship him with whoever you feel like! It could be an OC or a canon character, and you can write down as many options as you feel like! Ship him together with whoever you want! But delivery times may vary.

I know I said the art would be finished by the end of the week; I genuinely didn't expect it to be completed this fast. Maybe i'm just better at drawing than I think I am!

Shoutout to u/Mr-BornAgain and u/ErrorqTheGlitch, because looking at their art helped perfect the blush in my own drawing! Thanks guys!

Sometimes I consider posting art i've drawn myself but labelling it "AI Art" to see how people react. Would they recognise that it's actually human-made or would they think it was AI and flame me regardless?

I can't do a poll so this is the next best thing

From this day forward, this guy has a new name!

Instead of “Daniel Frederick Smith”, he’s now called “Daniel Harto Smith”. I wanted to make his name more different from my own, and I wanted to make his name a meaningful one. “Harto” is a real name (in Indonesia and Finland), but when it’s pronounced in Japanese it sounds like “Haruto”, a name that means “sun soaring” or “vibrant flight”, which fits his powers, but I anglicised it because I didn’t want it to be obvious that Danny’s one quarter Japanese. Thoughts?

I'm not really proud of how this artwork turned out. I apparenly slightly suck at drawing ears and his face looks different than what I intended him to look like. I don't know where I went wrong exactly.

Still though, not bad considering I made this in two days!

Inspiration: Megamind saying "Well maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore!"

I made this because earlier I saw a post showing Argentina as Yhwach and England as Ichigo in Yhwach's throne room. Also it really fits because Ichigo lost the fight after that scene the way England lost to Argentina, but he actually won the next fight (this fight) the way Argentina lost to spain

Explanation: A hate sink is a character who is written to be despised by the fandom. One Piece readers, take Spandam for example. You won't meet many fans who don't hate him for what he did in the Water 7 saga.

I wrote the description myself, you can check it out (and read the hidden spoilers at your own discretion) at TVTropes

This isn't the proper design, it's just a format I made in Google Drawings

There are some underlying themes

- Red and black represent the turmoil the country went through

- The star represents overcoming said turmoil

Originally I was going to make the entire background black but that may have been boring.

...and that's how Charlotte Chuhlhourne came to be.

Its poor quality, I know, but so was the Breaking Bad version of this meme. Also, I made this in Clip Studio Paint in about 2 and a half hours, tops.

I listened to ULTRAKILL music almost the entire time I was painting this.

I would add his character profile but I feel like that would defeat the purpose of headcanons

The guy in the top left is my OC

Also, I do not like the new format for the post submission interface.

SONGS I LISTENED TO WHILE MAKING THIS LIST:

"Avant" by EVE (short version)
"Chained Chase" by Who-Ya Extended (short version)
"AIZO" by King Gnu (both TV size and full version)
"Immortals" by Fall Out Boy
"Death Odyssey" by Heaven Pierce Her
"Harukaze" by SCANDAL
