Author Notes 1 - 6

[Chapter 1]

My thoughts on chapter one mainly were based on the feeling I always held for the first episode of BNHA anime. Izuku Midoriya stands against his so-called friend (Kacchan), and Izuku gets beaten. It was unfair. I sincerely wished to be there and defend him. I also wanted to put young Bakugou in his place so that he wouldn't grow overly delusional.

Even though both Sora and Izuku became a couple, it made me happy for Izuku had a person who reminded him that Izuku is not a waste of space. To tell Izuku that he genuinely belongs somewhere in this God-forsaken world. To say to him that everything will be okay. But also, I just wanted Izuku to at least have someone he could trust as a genuine friend.

[Chapter 2]

Let's start with design. Now Sora, how I built Sora as a character is pretty interesting. The bisexual flag referenced the reason behind Sora's hair. I chose plum eyes because of Sora's hair. Pink and blue can make a purple colour. And I decided on dark skin just because I have darkish skin myself.

Why did I make Sora a Transman? There are two main reasons. Reason one, I originally wanted Sora to be a woman, but back when I started to write my story, I sucked writing female characters. Second, I was having doubts about my gender at the time. Even now, I still don't know what I am. But that's why I write stories, so don't dwell on my thoughts too much.

Now next is Sora's personality. If I were to characterize Sora, I'd say he's a bear with fox-like cunning. Sora had to have this self-assurance. I wanted Sora to feel content with his skin because I wrote him to be trans. Even though Sora is an excellent liar, I perceive him as a frank individual. I believe he would be afraid of people not thinking of him. Thus, most of his talks would be blunt.

I also might've based Sora on a person I admire who goes by "Lady Beard". For people who don't know who he is, his real name is Richard Magarey. He is an Australian stunt actor, professional wrestler, singer and YouTuber known for his bearded cross-dressing persona named Ladybeard.

[Chapter 3]

Whatever it takes for this chapter. It had to entail Inko passing out at some point, which I utilized as the basis for this chapter. After the Sports Festival, Inko and her son spoke to each other over breakfast the next day at her house. She claims she has fainted seven times since the Human Cavalry Battle and has suffered from acute dehydration due to sobbing too much. Thus, I felt it necessary to write to her that way.

[Chapter 4]

I'll admit that I had turned off most of my brain throughout this chapter. It became half-decent because of Inko, and she was my genuine drive while I wrote this chapter.

Inko, throughout the series, has always been a caring mother who worries for her son's well-being. Inko loved spending time with Izuku and frequently treated him like All Might, his favourite superhero. She consoled and apologized to Izuku after becoming Quirkless, as though it were her fault. It has brought many fans of BNHA to speculate that she gained weight to cope with her remorse over time.

The U.A. academic year begins in April within the BNHA series, and Izuku prepares to leave when his mother stops him and wishes him good luck. Inko was the one who constructed Izuku's first hero outfit when she noticed the designs in his book while he was sleeping, demonstrating her joy for him and her support for his goals. She also did this as an expression of regret for ever questioning him and expressing her support for him. I wanted to write this pointer with my story since it would feel more direct from the series.

This chapter also made me cry.

[Chapter 5]

One thing about Izuku irritated me: he never put out the effort to develop his body. For someone so smart, he never seemed to give the thought that he needed to be physically strong to be a hero. His only excuse he might've had is that Bakugou kept belittling him not to get stronger. But while Izuku was training with All Might, Izuku still got significantly buffed. So all I have to say is that Izuku was lazy. But then again, Izuku didn't have any support other than All Might.

I also wanted to show off Sora's physique, which was impressive for a middle schooler. I omitted that aspect from the plot when Iida was inside the BNHA series. Iida is a tall, muscular young man with a broad physique. The BNHA series demonstrated that to him before he officially started high school.

My other example would be Mezo Shoji, even though he was primarily muscular because of his Quirk.

[Chapter 6]

Because Izuku had a boyfriend, there was no way the school would stay quiet. But I also wanted this to be the chapter where Izuku got some character development, even if it was just a little.

Because Izuku would frame this scene at his middle school, I used this as an opportunity to show my interpretation of Bakugou. Bakugou perceived Izuku's kindness and admiration as pity and mockery within his backstory. Bakugou did not believe this since he despised having been underestimated by others. He hated that Izuku, who was far weaker than him, seemed to be worried about him.

To acknowledge that Bakugou was seen as weak by a weaker person. Person, Bakugou saw as the lowest person within his point of view. Nonetheless, this does not excuse his behaviour against Izuku.
