Happy Valentine's Day! I made this knuckleduster ring ages ago. I loved it, but...it never sold. So I deconstructed it and made it into something totally different. In the coming weeks I'll show you what I did. In the meantime, what are you doing to celebrate? #benchjeweler #knuckledusters #bespokejewelry #customjeweler #statementrings #customjewelry #customrings #everydayluxury #finejewelry #gemlover #geminspo #goldlove #goldlovers #handmadejewelry #handmadeluxury #instagems #instajewels #heartrings #instarings #jewelrydesign #jewelryofig #jewelryofinstagram #jewelrywithmeaning #lorinczijewelry #showmeyourring #unusualgemstones #pinksapphires #heartjewelry (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqDQpDy10_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"My master showed me his picture once."
All for One: Tomura look, it's your quirk donor!
He might have just been showing Shigaraki pictures of all his business rivals. But knowing All for One the goal could have been making Shigaraki keep tabs on Overhaul the way he made Number Six obsess over the hero O'Clock (whose quirk he was given and then tried to become)

Spider-Man x MHA writers don't see the full potential of the concept.
9.5 times out of 10, Peter Parker ends up going to U.A and happily integrates into Hero Society. That's not how it would go down.
Peter would take two seconds to look at the state of Japan and think to himself, "This is wrong, on so many levels."
I want BAMF Vigilante Peter Parker giving the Pro Heroes a headache. I want to see him team up with the Naruhata Vigilantes and Eraserhead, reluctantly. I want to see him guide villians like Twice and Toga towards a new path. I want to see him rescue Eri before the Heroes even finish filling the warrant.
Is that so much to ask?

MHA: Vigilantes
I'm so happy it's getting an anime. I'm only on Volume 6 so no spoilers! Knuckleduster is my favorite, A batman-type character in the world of mha is hilarious to me.
(don't know where this artstyle came from, but it's cute!)

I just finished a Vig reread (again (again)) and something I noticed is that All Night's catchphrase is "I Am Here" while Koichi and Knuckleduster say "I'm Here". A more informal, personal variation.
Man, I got a lot to say about “I am here” (MHA) vs “I'm here” (MHAV) so thanks for this excuse!
In MHA, “I am here” is both a reassurance to people in need and a warning to villains. It reads: "Have no fear! I am here to help you!" While at the same time meaning: "I am here to stop you villains and save the day!" It is the catchphrase of All Might: The Number One Hero and it has that kind of hero marketability that we expect out of Pro-heroes.
The first time we hear “I’m here” in MHAV we need to remember the words preceding it. The full phrase is, “Well, All Might ain’t coming, but… I’m here!” And we need to remember that this phrasing is implicit every time we hear “I’m here” throughout Vigilantes.
When Knuckleduster is beating up on common criminals it’s: “Well, All Might doesn’t have time for you, but I’m here.” When Knuckleduster is holding the hand of his daughter in the hospital it’s: “Well, All Might may not have been able to save you, but I’m here.”
So, in truth “I’m here” in Vigilantes means: “I may not have the same power as All Might. I may not be as strong or as fast. I may not be the perfect hero he is, but I’m here and I’m going to try.”
“I’m here” in Vigilantes continually puts All Might up onto a pedestal. As do many other things in Vigilantes, for example, Koichi maintaining that only official All Might hoodies contain the divine Hero Blessing™️. All Might is used as the epitome of what a hero should be.
That’s why All Might initially wants Izuku to use the phrase "I am here" too. To tell the world that: “He is here!” and pronounce that Deku will be the next Symbol of Peace just as Toshinori was as All Might.
And all of this is especially interesting considering what both All Might’s and Knuckleduster’s apprentices do with their inherited phrases.
For my money, “I am here” in MHA is 1) corrupted by All for One and 2) not adopted by Deku.
During the Kamino battle All for One uses the phrase "I am here" to mock All Might. Spitting the catchphrase right back at him while he beats the tar out of All Might and the city. This eventually culminates into the "I am NOT here" sign worn by the All Might statue. The phrase is turned on it's head and used to demonstrate All Might's failure. Because he is "not here" the world has fallen into Chaos.
but he seems to be attempting to reclaim this phrase in recent chapters so we'll see where this all leads soon
(Just want to note that I'm speaking about this from an English-language perspective, cause I know that translations of this are not exact.)
Deku for his part, does not take up the phrase in the way All Might wanted him to. Demonstrating, I think, his desire to be his own hero and find his own words.
Koichi, however does something different. Instead of taking the phrase "I'm here" from his master Koichi iterates on it until it becomes: "For some reason, I'm still here. I'm still here with you." Koichi's "I'm here" version demonstrates a level of care for the person he is fighting, something that no other version of the phrase has.
In full it says, "I am not All Might, and I really shouldn't be here. But because I chose too, and because I have the will, I choose to be here for you."
And I love that all of that can come out of those little phrases. Thanks for the ask!
