Some hero franchise have at it.
Anyways so African American single mom with her very small child. They live in a poor neighborhood There was a lab accident a few years ago, the place is dangerous, etc. Child one day wanders into lab, somehow activates an old experiment, and is about to get themselves killed. Mom saves child, miraculously survives, gains powers. Uses powers to go against a large corporate owner who is using robots to destroy poor homes illegally so he can buy the land. She wins, reveals him, etc. Agrees to help the government in exchange for someone to take care of her son and the beginning of a program to help poor people. Ends with her monologuing about how accidents led to this, but she made the best of it and now can help people.
Your stupid little boytoy
middle aged lady on my bus just called someone's partner "your whimsical idiot boyfriend" over the phone . with sincere frustration might I add
Kaminari: I am not at all feminine.
Kaminari, doing Mina's makeup: I am the epitome of everything masculine
Kaminari, wearing a skirt and doing his eyeliner: The only person manlier than me is Kiri
Kaminari, playing princess with Eri: I have no clue why you all think I'm feminine in any way.
Sero: Kaminari please
Kaminari: No, Sero, he called me a girl.
Midoriya, sobbing: I SAID I WAS SORRY
Kaminari: Do people actually have genders? Are you not just using pronounce out of convenience?
Mina: Is this your way of having a gender crisis?
Writers who don't live in the south will have a southern accent slip out when you're frustrated or tired but in reality it's all sarcasm baby. Any time I sound like a southern bell is a time I'm dripping sarcasm. You think it's just my 'natural accent' and I'm here playing you like a kazoo.
That is infinitely funnier than my actual username, continue as you were
@thoughtsofagremlin I will be honest now, I had believed for way too long that your username was 'thought-sofa-gremlin' and my only opinion about it was: "huh, what an interesting string of words"
i'm sorry
do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?
The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.
So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.
As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.
This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"
Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:
From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.
Kaminari: The bakusquad? More like the girls and the gays.
Bakugou: I’m begging you to stop
@whateverwhocares6
Shut up you’re a war criminal
Kaminari: Bakugou, I’m sorry about everything I’ve ever said about your mom.
Bakugou: You should be! But also, why?
Kaminari, pulling up a photo of a magazine cover: That’s my mother on there! My mother! They describe her as ‘hot’ in one article MULTIPLE TIMES! My mother!
Bakugou, laughing: This is karma coming to get you.
I did it! I wrote a fic based on this. Sorry it’s bad, but it’s been done.
I see your "Kaveh gets hurt and Alhaitham is forced to face his feelings and confesses before it's too late", but I raise you: "Alhaitham gets hurt and confesses because he's too out of it to have the filter that's usually keeping him from complimenting Kaveh at every turn"
Wanna buy some gender? We got half genders, whole genders, genders across the spectrum, and genders not even known to humans yet.
