When I was little I lived with my parents. I would play in the park with my twin, we’d sometimes get ice-cream. It was fun, and I was happy.
When we were enrolled in elementary school, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up all night watching clips of my favourite hero; All might. I thought All might was the coolest, I still do. I dozed off soon after.
The next morning, when I woke up, I was in bed, my twin shaking me awake with a big grin on her face.
I remember her being so excited for our first day at school, and I was too. I remember when we got to school, our mum stopped us at the gates, she told me, that ‘as the big brother, I had to look after my sister.’ I was scared, if I’m to be honest. I didn’t know what to expect.
Kids can be pretty mean if you let them.
I don’t really remember much, but I do remember some kid that thought she was hot shit pointed at me and asked me why my skin was so splotchy. I was born with blue skin, and as I got older, my skin started turning a pink-purple-blue camo sort of pattern. I think I told her to shut up, or something along those lines because I remember being scolded by the teacher. I had never really paid it much thought, but I guess my skin was pretty weird, considering how many people picked on me because of it. Of course, other than that one time, my sister never found out, I made sure of it. A few months later, about a month before our 4th birthday, one of my bullies got his quirk, he could control water apparently. Everyone thought it was really cool.
That afternoon at lunch, whilst my sister and I were playing tag with our friends, the kid who got his quirk came up to me with some of his friends, he was saying something, sharing a smirk with one of his buddies, some of them laughing along with him. And before I knew it, he was on top of me, beating the living daylights out of me. His fists were ‘wet’ as that was the extent of his quirk right now. I remember my sister pulling the bully off of me, and someone running off to find a teacher, whilst I was sobbing into my sister’s embrace.
Things like that continued to happen, as everyone in class started to get their quirks. Except me. I remember my sister running into my room one day, a viscous liquid dripping from her hands as it landed on the wooden floors, the liquid sizzling whenever it made contact. She was so excited, showing it off to me with a proud smile on her face, an equally bright grin on my face.
I remember it vividly that day, September 14th. The day everything went wrong. That kid with the water quirk? Yeah, it was him again. So as it turns out, he could also turn water into ice. And with his fists encased in ice, he clocked me square in the nose with a sickening crUNcH.
I remember my nose gushing, and the smell of burning, a thick, acrid stench, and as I looked down, I remember instead of seeing bright red blood, I saw a neon green, and my blood burning holes into my clothes and the ground. I don’t think he saw it though, because when I ran at him, tackling him to the ground, the same hand I had been using to cup my nose, I grabbed him, I grabbed his arm. And it fell to the floor, with the smell of burnt flesh hanging in the air like a heavy cloud.
What happened? I’m not sure. I don’t remember. I’ve been here for years. I don’t remember where I am. My name is Aoi. My name means ‘blue’, and I have a twin sister. Or ‘had’ a twin sister. I don’t know what happened. That's all I remember. It’s dark and I’m alone.
I think I did something bad.
It’s so gross in here, there's even a dead body in here with me. Oh. no, nevermind he’s alive. He smells like a bonfire.
END.

My opinions on Umemiya Hajime must be viewed as a triplicate. Please consider the following:
Umemiya, hair back and jacket on: A threat. The strongest. The leader. Not looking for smoke, but ready to scrap. Don't make him repeat himself.
Ume-nii, hair back and no coat: Oldest brother. Plant dad. Always tells you when you did a good job. Will protect you. Sends you plant pictures. Vegetable enthusiast.
Hajime, hair down and no coat: The bestest most gentlest boy to ever exist. He's just a lad. Pacifist. Love, not war. Don't touch him. Must protect his smile. Too good for this world. He's so excitable. Just look at him. 😭
Thank you for your time.

warm hands. [itoshi rin x reader]
note: hc rin as that tsundere guy trope but honestly expresses more from his action and gestures. also his hands are definitely warm. warm hand warm heart..
For someone with an attitude most people would describe as ‘cold’, Itoshi Rin’s hands are really warm.
Such thought was a truth you were not scared to speak of. “I love holding your hand,” you said, standing beside him with you head leaning against his shoulder. With both of your fingers intertwined, it felt like home despite the two of you being away in the cold snow of a foreign country. “It’s really warm. Like a heater.”
Rin didn’t reply you for a moment, unsurprisingly. But in his silence, he tightened his hold around your hands. “Sure.”
You chuckled for a moment before nuzzling your face against his shoulder, “I love you, Rin.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Rin replied with a tone mixing between dismissal and embarrassment. Yet, he still pressed himself closer to you.
“Say it back,” you nudged him slightly.
Rin stayed silent for another minute. Then, a soft whisper landed along with a pair of lips on the crown of your head, “You are noisy.”
You let out another happy laugh and even if Rin didn’t smile, you knew his heart is warm too at that moment.
A few steps away in the back, Chigiri Hyoma made a face whilst Karasu Tabito recorded everything in his phone. “They are disgusting,” the redhead muttered under his breath.
“I know right,” his companion replied with a smirk, fully intending to spread the video to the group chat later.

Symbols surrounding Boufuurin's leaders and their meanings
This post will go into explicit symbols (ones that are clearly drawn with the intention to show the audience) of the flowers that represents our Four Heavenly Kings, and Umemiya Hajime.
(Implicit Boufuurin symbols)
The fanatic - Sugishita Kyoutarou
The first, and most impressive piece of symbolism that hit me is from chapter 3, when we meet Sugishita for the first time.
While I was doing research, I came across @/sawacore on twitter who had pointed out that the 5 flowers are the flowers of Boufuurin's Heavenly Kings and Umemiya.
The 5 flowers
Below is my effort to match and name these flowers. I don't think I am 100% correct, but I've identify the most distinguishable details about them. (And all of them are edible! What a surprise!)
Umemiya - Ume (Plum blossom)
Plum blossom means good fortune, health, and a talisman against evil. Moreover, Ume flower is also considered Sakura (cherry blossom)'s older sister, as it blooms at the end of winter and beginning of spring, right before cherry blossom does.
Tsubaki - Japanese Camellia
The flower is in their name, so there is no speculation here.
Tsubaki resembles freedom of choice and perfect love, which is very in character for our Tsubaki. Tsubaki had broken the gender norms to wear skirt and make-up even if they were born as a boy. Moreover, I truly adore their opinion on love: Love's value is in its own and doesn't need to be reciprocated for it to be perfect. They loved being in love, and that was what's beautiful about it.
Mizuki - Amana flower (Tulipa edulis/アマナ)
Now I can't find the meaning of this flower, so maybe I was wrong here. But this flower is, in fact, edible, and kind of fits the description: Pointy petals and cruciform. Please let me know if you find a better flower!
Momose - Momo flower (Prunus persica)
Momo flower means "fascinating personality", love, and good luck. It's a little all over the place, yes, but maybe we haven't known enough about Momose?
Hiiragi - Holly berry
Holly, or holly berry included, represents prosperity and focus strength. This is factually correct, as Hiiragi is the leader of a team whose name is taken from the god of warfare.

sae plans your dream vacation and proposal and gets you the most weirdly thoughtful presents every year and checks on your car regularly so your gas doesn't run out and does a bunch of other maintenance for your life and does it so seamlessly you barely notice and then pretends to be bored by your antics like he's literally madly in love with you and he acts like that
