Cousin Shinsou and Izuku shenanigans in Snipe’s little Cowgirl: (Reminder/information: Izuku is a trans girl in this AU)
-Shinsou totally has the ability to mimic voices right? So he can do accents.
County!Shinsou in Snipe’s Little Cowgirl picks up the ability to do a southern accent and goes: this is me now. And refuses to speak English without it. He then taught Izuku how to do it so she does the same.
-Izuku learns to dance and Hitoshi gets dragged into it cause he’s tall and can move. He proceeds to drag her into going hunting through the streets to look for stray cats in revenge. (Neither actually mind)
-when they met, Bethany (Snipe’s cousin) hadn’t married Dr. Shinsou (he needs a name but I don’t know what I want to use so I will take suggestions or scroll through fanfics to find one) and Izuku didn’t have her egg cracked yet. So these two kids who got heavily bullied are just side eyeing the fuck out of each other and being nervous as fuck. At least until Izuku talks about Eraserhead and Hitoshi goes !!!. Besties after.
-They don’t go to the same school but through Izuku going to Mustapha Private they meet Kirishima and Ashido. I am seriously thinking Hitoshi gains crushes on both for funsies.
-Izuku and Hitoshi have in fact pranked all of UA one time when Snipe had them there while he was doing teacher stuff. Nezu and Aizawa included.
-Hitoshi HATED Inasa when Izuku dated him but tried to be supportive. When the bullshit happened, Hitoshi actually did threaten him.
-I feel like someone tried to blackmail Hitoshi into dating them but Izuku out of NOWHERE would just slam down so much evidence of their bullshit.
-Oh wait. Wait.
These two are the ONLY LGBTQ+ members of the family so far. Everyone else (except maybe Mabel) is straight as fuck. This also means though that the family will go rabid for them.
-Bethany once tried to murder someone who commented about Hitoshi liking boys. With her heel. It was at a gala she went to with Snipe and the kids cause heroes and she was going to throw down with a minor hero.
-I feel like Hitoshi isn’t friends with Yaoyorozu or Iida but he is with Todoroki.
-Yeah that’s what we’re doing. Izuku got the two nerds and Hitoshi got his fellow emo/silent type.
-Todoroki still has his issues though. So does Hitoshi actually cause fuck it I can.
-It’s just when your Quirkless cousin gets into UA and you don’t you get a wake up call you need to buff up and work out.
-Izuku lords it over him for months. (I headcanon there are hero universities for kids who didn’t go to hero high school so she thought he’d go there if he didn’t get in through the sports festival)
-Not that… okay so, Hitoshi didn’t think it would be robots and while he isn’t Quirkist he did think he and Izuku were on the same level for UA. But they weren’t cause Izuku worked her ass off. She didn’t do recommendations cause the ‘favouritism’ issue, but still got in. Hitoshi didn’t. So it’s something he’s got to admit.
-… also now actually it would be fun to explore his assumption Izuku has to work twice as hard as him to be on his level. It’s subtle but it’s a micro aggression I think would be common.
And like I love Hitoshi I do. I also think he’s a dick in the beginning and it’s not to far out he would think that. He’s not Quirkist in the sense ‘Quirkless is useless’ but he does have some thoughts about how Izuku will always be working harder and shit.
Which isn’t wrong. But… *waves hand* yeah.
-So it’s a wake up call when she gets in but he doesn’t and like yeeeeeeeeaaaaaah.
-Shit I should also include Brandon and Jeff in this cause they’re cousins to.
-I wrote half this on night shift but anyways: Brandon is Izuku and Hitoshi’s age and he’s the cousin on the other side of the world randomly texting them shit like: hey so I miiiiight have lit my homophobic teacher’s house on fire. Jeff is like two years younger and he’s an actual legit genius who called dibs about designing their gear.
-All four are chaos. Then when Mandalay marries Snipe Kouta is added and they’re even WORSE.
Info dump some more bnha character traits I won't mind🧎♂️
Sure babe.
Let’s talk about the educators:
Present Mic lowkey has anger issues. Obviously he’s a pretty cheerful guy but lowkey, he be tweaking when he’s mad.
All Might is actually really bashful and insecure. Somehow being the #1 hero is NOT a guaranteed confidence boost.
Eraserhead is reasonably pretty strict with his students, but any affection you didn’t hear out loud, he definitely SHOWED it. His love language is physical touch, go look into it.
Midnight is definitely a little inappropriate sometimes but if you actually listen to how she speaks about the kids, you can tell she loves them dearly. It’s kinda the same way Kirishima calls everything cool “manly”, that’s how she is with being “youthful and full of vigor”.
Powerloader is probably THE MOST PATIENT of all of the educators. Do what you want, just stop blowing up the workshop.
And Snipe is just fine as hell. Also somehow I just found out that his quirk is Homing. And not gun. He’s just a southern gentleman with a blicky
why the fuck was all might allowed to be a teacher. he's teaching at what is widely regarded as the best school in the country, particularly for heroes, but also just in general from what i understand. there is no way in HELL that a school like that would let a person who is uncertified and has no higher education to teach, regardless of how famous they are or how much pressure the hpsc put on the school or even how eclectic and eccentric the school/its teaching styles are. there is simply no fucking way.
at most he'd be allowed to be a guest in some of the hero classes to provide additional feedback, etc etc. he probably couldn't even do administrative work as that generally requires either ample teaching experience or some level of training/school to do as a job.
also, i don't care how much nedzu loves chaos, he also loves his job and wants to protect/care for his students. he would not just skip over all might's lack of ability for this, no way no how; he would expect him to follow the rules set up to ensure that the teachers are equipped to handle the position and to teach the students
semi-related to the above, it is a personal headcanon of mine that many of the UA teachers are not as popular or as widely regarded as other heroes BECAUSE THEY HAD TO GET A TEACHING DEGREE. many of them worked as heroes or sidekicks to gain field experience but did so while also attending university to get an undergraduate degree AT THE LEAST. then, depending on the person, they either went straight into a teaching assistantship or continued working as a hero for a few more years to get more experience. however, many of them weren't able to reach higher levels of notoriety simply because they didn't have the time or the energy to market themselves and they ALSO didn't have a need to, as they were working towards a different goal.
for some, especially those in the support course (i'm thinking powerloader but i'm sure there's others), i could see there being waivers like many schools offer for folks teaching a trade (at least in the US). if you've worked in a trade for long enough, you might only need to get your teaching license which is usually not as long as getting a degree since your work experience shows that you know what you're doing. so i could see some of the teachers for support courses or even business courses being hired through a similar process.
i also think that most of the teachers don't work as heroes during the school year. i think that they keep active hero licenses and are able to be called on at any time (i could also see staff wide training/sparring being a part of this), but that they generally are taken off the roster. there are definitely some exceptions to this, like aizawa who's quirk is super valuable and who is also insanely willing to sacrifice himself and his health to help others (he needs therapy and some sessions on how to set boundaries). i think yamada is also an outlier with his radio show, although i think that started while he was getting his teaching degree and was working for the university's radio channel and he just decided to keep up with it. however, everyone else just teaches and then picks up freelance work during the summers (also see them only being on 10 month contracts or an equivalent type of work schedule).
i also know next to nothing about the requirements for teaching in japan, so take most of this with a grain of salt. but, at the same time, i think bits and pieces of this are probably universal.
it should probably also be mentioned that i really like bnha for the potential and the amount of room left for fanfic and the fandom to play around in the sandbox that is the world that Horikoshi Kōhei has created but i literally can not finish the manga or the anime. i have tried. multiple times. and i can't get past the sports festival for either of them. so maybe this gets better explained or something or maybe my standpoints on the characters are a little off.
Listen, if hori doesn’t put them in the final battle, I bloody well will lmao /lh
I have doodles to do, things to catch up on and asks to get to but my body decided to make me very suddenly ill (>:[) in the midst of some serious college stuff, so just have this for now <3
I want to see all of them feral, dishevelled and fighting, so I am playing with the blorbos like toy dolls :)
Quirks, courses and important notes for everyone in the BNHA PJO AU!
Percy: Poseidon's Grace (Named by Poseidon, manifested when he was young, works like in canon), Hero, volunteers with little kids in need. The kids adore him and have like, two signatures each from him!
Annabeth: Master Analysis (she can see the stats of anything she touches, very useful for architecture), Business (she's gonna make these assholes profitable if it's the last thing she does), she occasionally makes the other Business students cry because of how obnoxious and overbearing she is, but it's good practice for when they deal with heroes.
Jason: Supreme Thunder (named after Sailor Jupiter's first move because it's funny. Works like in canon and hasn't discovered his air abilities yet), Hero, wanting to get out of Jupiter's shadow as a good hero in his own right.
Piper: Magical Girl Charm (works like canon but also includes magical girl particles and a transformation), Hero, aims to be like Midnight and/or someone kids can look up to.
Leo: Welder's Torch (works like canon), Support, causes Powerloader so much extra stress and is mostly banned from working with Hatsume.
Hazel: Fool's Gold (works like canon), still in middle school but aims to be a Hero and eventually a teacher, plays pranks on the bullies in her class but uses her "good kid"/cute privilege and gets away with it. She's being encouraged by the others to just punch the assholes.
Frank: Animorph (works like canon, he was really into Animorphs when he was little and named his quirk after it. Was also a late bloomer (got his quirk around 7)), Hero, aims to get the HPSC to treat heroes better.
Nico: Ghost King (works like in canon, Bianca suggested the name), General (only really going to UA because everyone he knows goes there), sometimes he'll just sneak into the others' classes and watch
Reyna: Super Strength (self explanatory, but also her canon powers from Bellona are a little hard to work into a quirk), Hero, she's one of the recommendation students and already has a gaggle of children who look up to her and think she's cool.
Will: No quirk name yet because all I can think of is a Rapunzel reference lmao but it works like canon, General and aiming for being a doctor, also no important notes because I literally don't know that much about him lmao other than Nico's doctor boyfriend in canon (also he rode a motorbike with Percy at one point in the original series but it's been a while so I don't remember which book)
I hate how little attention powerloader gets :(( where's the tiny mole husband appreciation at!!!
LET ME TELL YOU!
Honestly, he's like one of those characters I think of and be like "needs a side series pronto".
I would love to see a story. Anime original, manga, movie, I don't care!
But I would love to see a story about him as a Support Course teacher and him dealing with his students, especially Hatsume. That would be golden!
One of my favorite facts about him is that his look and name a reference to the Power Loader from the Alien franchise! And I say reference since BNHA doesn't skip out on making references to other franchises.
Just look at this guy and tell me you wouldn't want to know more about him!
