Afrofuturism was the perfect lens for that celebration. Our hero Jarell finds a magical mirror and an exiled God working as a barber in his cousin’s barbershop. Jarell soon discovers that he is the hero that those in a distant land called Ulfrika have been waiting for. This is the land of his ancestors.

A lot of people in Katsuki’s life have tried to get him to talk more, but no one has phrased it quite like that before. He eyes Izuku’s All Might toy, and wonders what the kid is trying to get him to say.

He’s the same age. Katsuki has seen him around plenty, he likes to tag along with other kids like Katsuki does, but they don’t normally interact outside of that. His hair is messy and his little hands flap around gently at his waist. Katsuki frowns, he’s not supposed to do that. Katsuki ignores her and lets his excitement ramp up again as he inserts the coins and turns the handle again. It makes a delightful noise as the capsule drops, but Katsuki just feels disappointment wash over him. Katsuki lies awake until midnight, until he’s sure they’re asleep. Then he slips out his window and runs. He runs until his lungs burn and then he runs until he can’t feel anything at all. The piece I submitted was actually awful but Jasmine being Jasmine still gave me some really good advice and it definitely helped as I was already motivated to get better. Later down the line, Jasmine and I caught up again and she asked me to submit some more of my work. By this time I’d like to think I had gotten better and Jasmine started to let me know of some potential opportunities that might be coming up to write in the future. I was all in!

Katsuki crouches, and prepares himself for the next blow. It doesn’t come. Mitsuki is staring at him from the doorway like he’s a rabid dog and she’s a wolf twice his size. They size each other up, waiting for someone to make the first move. The rules make his house make sense, which is why Katsuki starts to get frustrated with Izuku. When they hang out, Izuku doesn’t follow the rules. Mitsuki gnashes her teeth and lunges. The slap lands solidly and the sound makes Katsuki flinch. He shrinks and tries to pull the shadows over him like a blanket (it’s not the first time, it won’t be the last). I think readers will be hugely excited to hear that tensions will escalate, new creatures and beasts will be introduced, and the reason for Legsy’s banishment from Ulfrika will finally be revealed…The stakes are high.I think readers will be hugely excited to hear that tensions will escalate, new creatures and beasts will be introduced, and the reason for Legsy’s banishment from Ulfrika will finally be revealed…All alongside perilous adventure, dangerous quests, and lots and lots of action.
