leoni alnst au but we have

mizi as ichika/saki

sua as shiho/honami

these are just the ones that came to mind right now, but you can also switch it up with whatever polyneed ship you like.

but something i'd like to keep set in stone, at least in my interpretation, is that shiho is always the one sacrificing themselves for the other. it also parallels beautifully to our main story, when they pushed everyone away for the sake of their friends, not knowing that in reality they were actively hurting those they loved so much.

i think it's similar to how sua chose to keep mizi in the dark about the entire concept of the competition and secretly planned to lose, in what she thought to be an act that would save mizi.

if we take the ichisaki route, then i definitely think that ichika is the one sacrificing herself. she's always cared so much about her gfs, and i believe that if she and saki were in the alnst universe and she knew about the true nature of the contest, she would actively plan to lose just to "save" saki and give her one more chance at surviving the show.

And time warms up love gently

And time nurtures love gently

I think about this sometimes but I personally love that Horikoshi took the Yandere trope, split it in two, and gave one half to Izuku and Himiko.

Like it’s so fascinating how you can just SEE how purposeful Himiko was as a character in hindsight standing next to him.

Himiko is a really interesting subversion of her trope for two reasons:

She hurts people because she loves them, not for isolation or destruction of the competition (gore/blood is love to her, not necessarily a means to love someone)

She’s not possessive. Like at all.

I’ve seen that hc a few times and it always bothers me. Ochako is for sure a possessive character (we saw that with Hatsume around Izuku way back at the sports festival arc), but Himiko? Really?

You mean the girl who had a crush on a boy AND the girl who also had a crush on the same boy? Her?

You mean the girl who doesn’t hurt people who love who she loves, rather actively encouraging it in the first place? That one? Really?

Like it’s such an integral part to her subversion too. It’s what makes her such a weird and fascinating character. Possessiveness is supposed to be whats ugly about love itself, yet her love remains ugly without it. She is ugly because the fundamental ways in which she sees and feels about the world are considered “wrong”, “dangerous”, and “deviant”.

But Izuku… ohhhh Izuku…

He holds this trait like a badge melted to his skin. My man cannot escape these allegations. It’s to the point where it’s honestly a fundamental to his narrative. Izuku does not act nor feel the same without it.

Izuku holds a cutesy nickname that literally every other childhood friend of Katsuki’s has long left behind, saying his real name instead (this is honestly why I’m also uninterested in a scene where Izuku calls him “Katsuki” instead of “Kacchan”, Katsuki doesn’t represent the same things the name Izuku does, imo at least), izuku “give him back to me” midoriya, holds his dead body to his chest on a cover, freaked out on someone either hurting/offending Kacchan.. 3 times(?), keeping big boy ofa secrets…. The list goes on.

So it’s this main reason that I think their characters are just so. Fucking. Intertwined. I’m glad this has become a more common interpretation because there’s just so much that aligns between them.

Both of them call their “special people” with -chan endings, both by their first names, both deemed deviants/irrelevant by society. It’s no wonder Ochako fell in love with Izuku, just like she did toga, they’re fucking freaks. They’re interesting. They’re weird. They’re overly friendly and socially inept and a little beaten down by the world yet have too much passion to stay on the ground. They’re envious of the ones they love (Ochako of her freedom to be a normal girl, Katsuki for his raw power and harnessed skill), and I guess I just wanted to make this post because I adore how it’s all done.

I LOVE how the yandere trope is used as societal commentary here. Not necessarily as a way to make the main love interest jealous and feel she must protect the main character, nor for some kinky reason surrounding her character, but because the trope is built off of real, ugly feelings that can and do happen. That love can and is considered truly beautiful in all its forms, especially those of queer people.

So I especially love it because it isn’t just limited to Himiko, but Izuku as well. He may never hurt the ones he loves, but he would hurt for them.

A perfect narrative foil on queer and deviant forms of love. Big fan Horikoshi.

this modern love is such a genius song to put in saltburn; i'm obsessed with the whole soundtrack but i can't stop thinking about specifically the line 'and you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness, well jump right on surely and gorge away' because it encapsulates the scenes where oliver is spilling his sob stories and felix is absolutely eating them up and oliver is more than happy to keep going along with it as long as it keeps him entertained and ensures felix doesn't lose interest in him.

bonus points for 'just keep telling me facts and keep making me smile' because while it's not what the song originally meant, when you read that from felix's pov it just makes so much sense. the people around him are his puppets who bend over backwards to keep the golden boy happy and he doesn't even realize oliver is doing it too.

and honourable mention for 'do you wanna come over and kill some time' because again definitely not the intention of the song lyrically but reading it as 'do you wanna come over and kill, sometime?' is soooo. ugh. i love it

Mistakes were made in his attempt to show off how talented he is.

He may not look it, but Jori is surprisingly acrobatic and adept at parkour (a good skillset to have when you spend most of your time clambering through ships and scrapyards and trying not to get shot); turns out he's squirrelly in both a metaphorical and literal sense.

Unfortunately, despite being naturally cautious, forward-thinking isn't always his strong suit (he might not be the brightest kid ever). But I'm sure PAM will help them all get down safely. Probably.

P.S. I've been drawing him with a tooth gap when he was actually meant to have a chipped tooth (fake fan of my own character 😭)
