Thank you all for your patience!
Second announcement for any who missed it

Thank you all for your patience!
So, again probably not unheard of, but what about this?
Midorima as meister with Aomine as his rifle and he’s the best shot from long distance? Like NEVER misses his target. And Aomine is almost always in weapon form so Midorima can carry him everywhere while he sleeps!
Kuroko is a meister assasin (ala Blackstar) but he’s actually effective because of his lack of presence but Kagami is the one who screws that up as his weapon by being too loud!
Akashi is meister to Murasakibara who is basically a giant pair of scissors whose blades can be separated and there are chains on the handles so he can be dual weilded then snapped back together.
Kise is weapon to Kasamatsu as the most beautiful sword and Kasa is always embarrassed because the girl meisters all ask to see him.

@ourneverendingpossibilities look how cute your husband is!
- Do an
outline, whatever way works best.
Get yourself out of the word soup and know where the story is headed.
- Conflicts
and obstacles. Hurt the protagonist, put things in their way, this keeps
the story interesting. An easy journey makes the story boring and boring is
hard to write.
- Change
the POV. Sometimes all it takes to untangle a knotted story is to look at
it through different eyes, be it through the sidekick, the antagonist, a minor
character, whatever.
- Know the
characters. You can’t write a story if the characters are strangers to you.
Know their likes, dislikes, fears, and most importantly, their motivation. This makes the path clearer.
- Fill in
holes. Writing doesn’t have to be linear; you can always go back and fill in plotholes,
and add content and context.
- Have
flashbacks, hallucinations, dream sequences or foreshadowing events. These
stir the story up, deviations from the expected course add a feeling of urgency
and uncertainty to the narrative.
- Introduce
a new mystery. If there’s something that just doesn’t add up, a big question mark, the story becomes more
compelling. Beware: this can also cause you to sink further into the mire.
- Take
something from your protagonist. A weapon, asset, ally or loved one. Force
him to operate without it, it can reinvigorate a stale story.
- Twists
and betrayal. Maybe someone isn’t who they say they are or the protagonist
is betrayed by someone he thought he could trust. This can shake the story up
and get it rolling again.
- Secrets. If
someone has a deep, dark secret that they’re forced to lie about, it’s a good
way to stir up some fresh conflict. New lies to cover up the old ones, the
secret being revealed, and all the resulting chaos.
- Kill
someone. Make a character death that is productive to the plot, but not “just because”. If done well, it affects
all the characters, stirs up the story and gets it moving.
- Ill-advised
character actions. Tension is created when a character we love does
something we hate. Identify the thing the readers don’t want to happen, then
engineer it so it happens worse than they imagined.
- Create cliff-hangers.
Keep the readers’ attention by putting the characters into new problems and
make them wait for you to write your way out of it. This challenge can really
bring out your creativity.
- Raise the
stakes. Make the consequences of failure worse, make the journey harder.
Suddenly the protagonist’s goal is more than he expected, or he has to make an
important choice.
- Make the
hero active. You can’t always wait for external influences on the
characters, sometimes you have to make the hero take actions himself. Not
necessarily to be successful, but active
and complicit in the narrative.
- Different
threat levels. Make the conflicts on a physical level (“I’m about to be
killed by a demon”), an emotional level (“But that demon was my true love”) and
a philosophical level (“If I’m forced to kill my true love before they kill me,
how can love ever succeed in the face of evil?”).
- Figure
out an ending. If you know where the story is going to end, it helps get
the ball rolling towards that end, even if it’s not the same ending that you
actually end up writing.
- What if?
What if the hero kills the antagonist now, gets captured, or goes insane? When
you write down different questions like these, the answer to how to continue the
story will present itself.
- Start
fresh or skip ahead. Delete the last five thousand words and try again. It’s
terrifying at first, but frees you up for a fresh start to find a proper path. Or
you can skip the part that’s putting you on edge – forget about that fidgety
crap, you can do it later – and write the next scene. Whatever was in-between
will come with time.
More good advice
OMG Neon that’s perfect! How freaking hilarious is that? Except maybe Suga is her weapon (cause I think they get along really well) and Ennoshita is their meister (cause he can keep them in line most of the time) and he doesn’t get offended that they’re always bemoaning Suga having such a beautiful meister. And Daichi is Yui’s weapon, maybe like a spear or something, and the girls are getting paired to go on missions together.
Could you imagine Takeda as Lord Death?!! Like, he seems so mild mannered (where in SE he’s kinda goofy) but when crap hits the fan he totally becomes like this badass?
I had a bit of a scene pop in my head where Kageyama is of course this insanely talented meister but no one can match his soul resonance because he’s so intense. Then along comes Hinata as like, I don’t know, maybe a gun or something and he can match him even though they argue all the time. His big transformation would be from gun to that rocket launcher like in Daichi’s analogy 😂
Another scene where Asahi is a weapon, like a club or something, but he basically shattered in a fight because he was hit so many times a long time ago and his meister died and when they try to get him back because of a big baddie, he’s so scared of that happening again he can’t properly transform. There’s a whole story there in and of its self.
I thought of Keishin being like Mufine, this super talented fighter but he’s not a meister and he’s protecting Yachi when he’s asked to come teach. Of course he doesn’t want to at first.
So many options! Gah! It would be amazing if I could get it from my head to paper! 😆
Oh oh! And the Neighborhood Association could be some of the teachers!!
Could even age Tendou up to be a character similar to Dr. Stein, with Ushijima as his no nonsense weapon!
Yamaguchi could be a little like Crona in his hesitancy and no one wants to be his weapon because he’s perceived as weak but Tsukki protects him one time in a skirmish and he’s meister-less because he’s an ass so they pair up by default.

Unoriginal idea but I’m curious
So, I just finished rewatching Soul Eater and it got me thinking….Haikyuu/KNB Soul Eater AU?
More specifically, who do you all think would be weapons and who would be meisters? What kind of weapons would they be? Who would be paired with who?
Share your thoughts! I’ve missed talking with you guys!
I’m going to be reblogging a lot because of that damn “best stuff first” crap. So apologies if I end up spamming ya’ll.
Anyone else wanna chat about this? 😁
Still looking to hear your ideas!
Ooooo! I like it!
