Noble Phantasms Are, Genuinely, An Excellent Story Device For A Combat Series Like Fate. Mostly Because

Noble Phantasms are, genuinely, an excellent story device for a combat series like Fate. Mostly because they can be pretty much anything you can come up with, so long as it has a thematic/historical/metaphorical connection to the servant. 

Heracles being able to revive up to 12 times to tie it in to his twelve labors? Very clever.

Arturia having a massive sword of light, symbolizing both the prominence of the Arthurian Myth and the ubiquity of Excalibur? Incredibly efficient story telling.

They can be as simple or as complex as you want, so long as it “makes sense” in some vague way for the servant to have such an ability, so there’s honestly no limit to the fantastic nonsense you can come up with.

But, with all that said, my personal favorite NPs are some of the more simple ones. Maybe because they’re easier to describe, or easier to “get” why the servant has it, or maybe the humoristic element that, in a series where some servants summon a storm of arrows or invoke powers beyond mortal ken, that something as simple as a sword slash can be just as, if not more, powerful than them.

That being said, my two favorite NPs are:

1. The one where an old skeleton man that pretty much invented killing people as a career choice looms over you, stares into your soul, calls you a bitch in the most poetically threatening way possible, and then swings his sword at your neck. This will always kill you. No exceptions (barring one instance but that just proved the rule.) and of course it will always kill you because this is the person who has perfected the art of killing to such a point that the universe pretty much threw it’s hands up and said “fine whatever you’re basically the Grim Reaper go nuts.” Folk hero? Legendary Ruler? A fucking immortal God? Fuck you, a sword to the neck will kill you because the Old Man of the Mountain says, knows, that it does. And nobody knows Death more than King Hassan.

And 2. The one where a small and buff amazon queen takes a deep breath, imagines you are the one person she hates more than anyone else in existence, and that makes her so fucking angry that her strength increases a dozen fold and she rushes at you like a starving animal, ripping you apart with her bare hands before she bites your stomach open like it’s a dumpling. As you can imagine, being able to rain a hail of swords doesn’t really do much if your target just ignores all the blades you’re throwing at her and goes at you like a rabid wolf and leaves you as a bloody pile of guts on the floor. Oh. And if you so happen to be a legendary Greek hero, real or fictional? You’re double dead. She has a plus one billion against male Greek heroes because one insulted her strength after a fight she lost so it doesn’t matter if you’re a legendary Spartan king, a world renowned conqueror, or motherfucking Heracles himself, she will see you, growl, and the last thing you hear will be her ripping your leg bones out and beating you to death with them.

Yang, blake, and neo's decided that it would be a good idea to put glow sticks in their pool at night (it looks amazing by the way)

Yang:

-she thinks it looks awesome.

-will immediately change into her swim wear. 

-if she didn’t bring her swim wear and knew that they would be alone she would strip naked and then jump in.

Blake:

-blake dislikes the water, but is still stunned by how amazing it looks.

-will not jump in, but will put her feet in the water while she watches her s/o

-if her s/o pulls her in she will shriek and then glare at them then will splash them and start getting into it.

Neo:

-she will like all the colors in the pool and will want to add more.

-the pool becomes a liquid rainbow for the night.

-will jump in without hesitation and enjoy the many colors in the pool.

Fucking hell

THIS IS GREAT , when is going out the next chapter?

I love Villain!Deku AU so I wrote a thing

The television in the café Bakugou usually visited after his day at work was mostly annoying. It mostly flickered between gossip channels and music channels, and it was too loud in spite of his repeated requests of the staff to turn it down. They served good coffee, though, and better beer if he went there later in the evening with his boyfriend. Besides, it wasn’t like he was in the café for a long time, anyways.

One time, while he was resting in his usual spot near the window after a long day of hero work, a news channel was on. Disinterestedly, he watched the newscaster declare the summer to be ‘the hottest Hosu City has ever seen’. But then, the words ‘Breaking News’ flashed across the screen in red. A new newscaster, a man with a booming voice, claimed that a hero had been found dead with his body bruised in several places, in an alleyway not far from where Bakugou lived.

Instantly alert, he checked his phone for more information. The hero’s name was Mineta Minoru. Bakugou’s eyes widened. He’d known him. He’d spent 3 miserable years on the same campus as him, training to become a hero. He’d never spoken to him outside class, but he knew the name and everything associated with it. Mineta Minoru was all over the newspaper those days, implicated in various reports of sexual assault. Bakugou couldn’t say he was surprised. The little worm was a perverted one- that even he knew. But death? Maybe one of his victims had finally snapped and gone on a rampage.

Good for her, Bakugou thought.

But then, the man on TV announced something else. “On the wall next to the body,” he said in a grating, loud voice, “was a message made with green spray-paint. What do you think it means? If the audience have any information on this incident, please contact us at”-

Wow, they’d sure gone pretty far, Bakugou thought. Messages on walls. That was some serious villain shit.

And then they displayed a photo of the crime scene on-screen.

“Everything will be okay,” the message said, the green paint still dripping, bright on the drab wall of what was probably an office building. “The symbol of peace is here.”

Bakugou’s blood ran cold.

Would y’all like to see more of this? Should I write a one-shot? A chapter fic? This is my first time writing fanfiction so tell me :)

Edit: the full chapter is on my AO3 account, nya_kirishima

Somebody should make some picture or gif of it

Can you make any headcannons for how Class 1-A and Monoma (cause I love that cocky little shit) would react to someone having a Incubus/Succubus Quirk? (Basically taking on the traits and abilities of the sex demon).

I assume you wanted both the girls and boys from class 1-A, but I wasn’t able to do every single one just ‘cause I didn’t have inspiration for some of them, and it was also really long. I did throw in some other characters as well though, to sate my own thirst lmao. 

Midoriya: This little cinnamon roll would probably be flustered as hell when he finds out how your Quirk works. He’s so innocent to most things that he can’t help but get all timid and blushy whenever he’s around you. You honestly think it’s super cute so you end up teasing him with your powers every now and then, which basically turns him into a helpless pile of goo.

Bakugou: He pretends like he’s not fazed, but he’s actually having some real dirty thoughts. Bakugou’s never had any experience in the love/physical department (even though he likes to act cocky), so knowing how your Quirk works honestly makes him feel embarrassed. He also hates thinking that he could fall victim to your Quirk and just be utterly helpless—because he knows you would have him wrapped around your finger. Blushes pretty often around you, and tries to avoid eye-contact when he’s extra flustered. 

Todoroki: At first he’s just like “what?” but then he’s like “…oh.” He understands that having a power that can seduce others could actually be really strong and may catch people off-guard in battle, but it does make him a little uncomfortable to think about. Todoroki’s mind ends up wandering more than he would like, and he finds himself imagining what sort of things you would do…with him. Kind of just feels ashamed, and tries to force the thoughts to the back of his mind, but his expression will slip up every now and then whenever he’s around you.

Iida: Straight up thinks it’s indecent as hell, and just can’t wrap his head around how someone would go about using a power like that. Sure, he obviously understands what you do with it, but like…it’s so inappropriate?? Class Prez does not approve, and he hates the tight knot he gets in his stomach whenever he brushes shoulders with you. Just thinking about you using your Quirk on someone (him) gets him all rattled and he’ll just start moving in that robotic manner with a big blush on his cheeks.

Kaminari: It’s literally the sexiest thing in the world?? Like omg are you an angel?? (no you’re more of a demon actually lol) He’s pretty well-established as a big perv, so knowing that you have a sexual Quirk like that just really turns him on. He’s always flirting with you hardcore, even though he usually ends up making a fool out of himself, but he just can’t resist. He’ll try to act slick and all, but he doesn’t actually have any relationship experience, and will get pretty flustered around you if you ever seductively brush your hand by his cheek or lick your lips. Let’s just say he’s definitely spent his fair share of time in bed imagining what it would be like if you used your Quirk on him. 

Kirishima: It’s not a really manly thing to do, but he does have dirty thoughts about you when he first finds out what your Quirk is. Honestly, he feels guilty imagining such things, but he just can’t help looking at you and seeing how damn hot you are and then knowing the things you’re capable of. He doesn’t care if he gets paired up to spar against you and loses—he wants to be able to experience your powers firsthand.

Tokoyami: Bird exe. has stopped working. No but like, he gets so flustered over your Quirk that he honestly just doesn’t know how to deal. Tokoyami’s a bit more reclusive than most, but he’s definitely spent more time admiring you from afar than he would like to admit. He’s not good with intimacy and the like, so imagining you to do those kind of…things is a little rattling for him. He will usually be pretty good at remaining composed around you, but his feathers sometimes fluff up and you might notice a small blush flaring up from underneath.

Monoma: He loves it, honestly. Not only is it hot, but he thinks it’s actually a really cool, useful Quirk that can take down even the best of people (including himself). His own Quirk revolves around making use of other people, so he likes to think you guys are sort of similar in some way. Monoma will act cocky and smirk around you, as if he’s unfazed, but he starts blushing like crazy whenever you do anything that hints at seduction. Of course, he’ll just be laughing like a madman, as usual, outright denying that he’s affected by your charms. He’s in for one hell of a ride when you do use your Quirk on him.

Shinsou: Probably won’t be much affected by your Quirk, as long as he can make you talk. He doesn’t like using his Brainwashing powers in general, but he’ll do it if he ever needs to fight you off. That being said, he might not want to. Shinsou hardly ever shows his emotions, but the second he found out what kind of Quirk you had he started acting awkwardly around you. If he really wanted to, he could always brainwash you into forcibly using your Quirk on him (aka doing dirty stuff with him), but he wants you to do it willingly. He just hopes that he can remember exactly what happened once it’s over. 

Uraraka: Her rosy cheeks will be even more pronounced whenever she’s around you. She’s so innocent and precious, just the thought of what your Quirk entails makes her entire body burn. Sometimes, when she gets extra flustered around you, she accidentally makes herself float, and it’s the cutest thing in the world. 

Yaoyorozu: Much like Iida, she thinks it’s “indecent”, but doesn’t dismiss the strength and potential of your powers. Obviously, you can’t choose what type of Quirk you’re born with, but thinking about the sexual nature of yours just makes her feel kind of…warm? She’s usually straight-laced and composed, but is actually very easily flustered and sometimes loses her cool whenever she’s around you. One time you ran your finger across her neck and she literally squealed. 

Jirou: Acts cool and aloof, but is pretty timid on the inside. She doesn’t really have a dirty mind or anything, but sometimes it wandered too far and she ended up thinking about what kind of stuff you might do to people. She can be a bit hard to read at times, but she’ll blush whenever she’s around you every now and then. She definitely doesn’t want to have you fight you at any point because she thinks she would just die of shame if you used your Quirk on her.

Tsuyu: Probably isn’t too much affected, since she doesn’t have a dirty mind at all. She’s definitely given your Quirk some thought though, and might have made a really direct comment about it at some point. Hasn’t imagined having you use your powers against herself specifically, but would probably not be able to keep a straight face it the two of you got too close. 

Hatsume: She thinks it’s neat! Honestly, there’s not much that gets her embarrassed since she practically has no shame, but she’d like to examine your body (wink wink) and see what sort of stunts you’re capable of. She also wants to try and design some sort of equipment for you to use, and see what other kind of inventions you synchronize with. If you used your Quirk on her, she’d honestly be pretty into it, and might even ask you do it again (this girl seriously has no shame it’s amazing). 

Toga: Has a pretty dirty mind—it’s usually more sinister and violent than sexual, but anything goes, really. Much like Hatsume, there’s really not much that gets her embarrassed, and she’ll probably just be really flirty and excited whenever she’s around you. Definitely wants you to use your Quirk on her and see how it feels, hopes to make it become a regular thing if it’s as enjoyable as she imagines it to be. 

Dabi: He lives for this shit, honestly. The second he found out what your Quirk was like, he found himself even more drawn to you. Not only are you gorgeous, but your powers are sexy as hell, too. Will definitely be extra flirty around you, hoping to make the seduction a two-way street. Under normal circumstances, he would never be submissive or purposefully let someone overpower him, but with your Quirk being the way it is, he honestly wouldn’t mind at all.

Shigaraki: Gets flustered as hell around you, and probably ends up being grumpier than usual as a result. He’s not used to touching others, so knowing that you have a Quirk that pretty much revolves around intimate contact makes his chest feel really tight. Honestly, Shigaraki doesn’t like the way your Quirk works, because it means that you have to do dirty things with people other than him, and he gets all possessive and jealous even imagining it. If you were to use it on him, it’s another story—he won’t willingly allow you to overpower him, but if it happens, he might as well try to enjoy its effects. 

Chisaki: Probably the only person who is very much opposed to it. He hates being vulnerable, and the fact that you can seduce him with your powers leaves an unpleasant taste in his mouth. He’s never wanted anyone touching him in the first place, even if he’s incredibly attracted to you, so it’s a conflicting feeling. If anyone were to do anything physical with him, it would definitely have to be you, and nobody else. Still, he will refuse to allow himself to submit and be manipulated by your Quirk—you’ll have to use it well if you want to one-up him. Even if he does fall victim to your powers, he’ll be very bitter about ending up in such a situation. At the very least, he might have some nice memories to revisit when he’s on his own.

“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”

“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer. 

“Do tell!”

Grin. “Blood.”

The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous. 

And before I could explain that blood meal is a common soil fixer and fertilizer, she put her hands up, spun around and said-

“Bye.”

You want to know the secrets to a beautiful garden? You better be prepared for some weird shit.
