I think why Endhawks is so cathartic for me is that you have two people who have been through a bunch of trauma and made fucked up choices because of it and are both terrified that deep down that they aren’t worthy of love, that they’ll end up alone, that they are inherently bad.

And they are trying, trying so hard to change, to be good, to be lovable.

And they accept each other so easily. Like yes I see you. I see you trying so hard. You’re not hard to love at all. You are a good person at heart and that’s why you try so hard. I won’t flinch away at the hard, sharp edges of you because mine fit together with yours.

And it hits me right in my trauma core.

I just love them. Anyway…

Okay but Horikoshi had NO right making Shiggy THAT ✨T H I C C✨ in his glow up lmao!!! He's got the all the fangirls stumbling like lord have mercy! 🧎🏻‍♀️🙌🏻🙆🏻‍♀️👌🏻

[obsessive-dumpling]

In all seriousness though, togachakos story has turned out so much better than I anticipated. Horikoshi has a habit of ignoring the ladies (pretty gay if you ask me), but this was really handled with care and was so beautiful. I will always be thankful for how dirty and desperate their art looks throughout this entire arc. All I can hope or ask for now is that this is not their end. I don't know what their next chapter will look like if both survive, all I know is that I want to see it.

I want to see what Gentle told us: love wins in the end.

I'm calling it first, Yoichi's hand developed sentience and became Horikoshi's handsona

[camgirlkaminari]

several thoughts about the new years 2023 sketch that i CANNOT stop having:

he's getting hornier. he's been getting hornier on main the closer we get to the end of the series. everyone scroll his twitter back to 2021 and you will see there is an abrupt spike in horny art around august of that year. horny on main about literally all his own ocs and unapologetic about it

horikoshi has DEFINITELY been looking at all the bunnyboi deku fanart over the last 8 years

the previous two points lead me to conclude that the fandom has been picking up what he's putting down this whole time. shameless deku supremacy bunnyboi deku supremacy etc etc

also thinking maybe deku's steel toed thigh highs were an aesthetic choice and not entirely necessary for support reasons. thotty deku supremacy etc

hori really fleshes out his characters with these sketches it seems very clear to me that ochaco was bribed with free food for this event & kirishima didn't have to be bribed with ANYTHING he's just happy to be here, very on brand

thanks bud i WASNT thinking about their balls but NOW i am

that being said: release the balls cut horikoshi. i KNOW you have a secret balls-in drawing. im a 'do-it-for-the-bit' artist, i know theres a secret bit art folder i just KNOW it

and you KNOW he also did a bunnyboi katsuki sketch. hes a freaque he simply would not let that go undrawn

do you guys think katsuki feels left out. do you think he's mad he missed the memo. where are his eyes pointed, mirko? or ochaco? is he jealous. does he have fomo

katsuki adhd king

it is SO funny of hori to make mirko have to wear clothes while the rest of them wear her costume. so cruel. so inhumane. get dressed idiot

shouto said 👁️👄👁️ as usual absolute comedy king

[jaded-ghoster]

HIS HAND!!! IS OVER!!! HIS HEART!!!

Everybody pack up and go home, bakudeku solos your ship for the rest of time.

[spacebunniesmha]

Tired of people writing ochako as some sorta homophobic monster in fanfics when she is canonically super sweet & supportive 😭

No, She would not hate midoriya because he was/is Quirkless. No, she would not be a bitch to him because he's gay.

It's just not her.

Late to the party but gotta take what little crumb of the Boy™️ I can get.

Shouto’s first kiss

Genre: Fluff

Pairing: TodoKiri (Todoroki Shouto X Kirishima Eijirou), dash of BakuDeku.

Synopsis: Kirishima and Shouto have been spending a lot of time together, feelings come out and feelings are shared.

————————————————

After the second war, society has slowly been rebuilding itself, and they stumbled but they were getting there to a better place. The new school year at UA had started and Class-1A, though officially they should have moved up sooner, are now Class-2A and are eager to be just students just teenagers again. Todoroki Shouto for one was happy he could finally relax, the last year being one of the most difficult years to handle for him. His father’s abuse displayed to the world, and his eldest brother believed to be dead alive and a villain.

Now though Shouto could focus on his school lessons, his dreams of being a reassuring hero and pursuing these feelings he had for a fellow student. Since the start of the new year, Shouto has been spending more and more time with Kirishima, and this was his first time feeling like this. Feeling like he was made of jelly, whenever Kirishima complimented him, feeling fluffy whenever Kirishima was near, and he felt like he was invincible like he was free. So, Shouto wanted to keep feeling those feelings, and in that case he would take any moment any chance to hang with Kirishima. Which is why when the new aquarium opened Shouto got tickets, and invited Kirishima to join him there. The two had just arrived at the aquarium, and were admiring the fish swimming. The lil nemo’s, catfish’s and the small sharks. Shouto peaks into one of the tanks, and then at the small board that has information on them. Stonefish.

“Hey Kirishima it’s just like you” Shouto said smiling, as he pulled Kirishima over to the tank.

“A stonefish” Kirishima reads, and then looks at the fish, “ehh but it’s so ugly am I that ugly?” Kirishima whines with a pout.

“I think it’s beautiful” Shouto replies, as he looked at this fish, “you too” he adds quickly. Kirishima looks to him eyes wide, causing Shouto to surprisingly blush.

“Well come look at this fish” Kirishima said smiling, as he pulls Shouto over to another tank. “The emperor snapper its red and white just like you” Kirishima said, as he ruffles Shouto’s hair.

“Heh we both got our fishes then” Shouto said, as he watches the fish swim by, “let’s go see the sharks the big ones…they look even more like you” he said softly, as he drags Kirishima to the next section of the aquarium.

The rest of the day went on with them enjoying the sharks, which Kirishima took great pleasure in showing off his shark-like teeth to them. Entranced by the dolphin and whale show, and intrigued by the octopuses and jellyfishes. By lunchtime they enjoyed meaty burgers, surgery goods and milkshakes - strawberry for Shouto and mint chocolate for Kirishima. They ended the day by seeing the turtles, and listening to the seal talk before making a leave of the establishment. The day was going so well for them, the aquarium was buzzful, the day bright and everything was going accordingly well. Until they stepped out of the establishment, and the weather turns sour as rain begins to pour soaking the two boys.

“My father’s home is close by let’s go there until the weather dries” Shouto suggested, to which Kirishima wholeheartedly agreed with him.

So, the two boys took off running for his father’s house, in hopes of getting out of the wet and into the dry. Not that it mattered they were already soaked right through, but they ran nonetheless because they didn’t want to get colds. So they ran and ran until finally they made it through the front door of his father’s house. After everything Enji and Touya resided in the old house, while Shouto and the others lived elsewhere but it’s not to say Shouto never visited them. Shouto and Kirishima take off their shoes, and coats before heading further into the house. Enji soon appears from around one of the corners.

“Shouto what brings you here? Oh you brought a friend” Enji said as he allowed them into the living room, Touya was say on the couch.

“Hi I’m Kirishima Eijirou it’s nice to meet you” Kirishima introduced himself, even though it’s not like he was completely unaware of who Enji was.

“We’re just going to dry off” Shouto said calmly, as he grabs Kirishima by the wrist and begins to drag him away.

“I’m about to cook dinner why don’t you stay for dinner? both of you” Enji suggested, Shouto turned to look at his father shocked.

“Since when do you cook?” Shouto asked shocked, cocking an eyebrow.

“Old fart has to entertain himself somehow…now that he’s retired and one armed” Touya spoke up.

“Well stay” Shouto replies, he was curious now to see if his father’s cooking would be on par with Fuyumi’s or not.

“Thank you for the kind gesture” Kirishima said with a bow, before he followed Shouto out of the room.

They entered what was Shouto’s old room, and technically still was if he ever stayed over the night. Shouto fished out some fresh clothes for them both, as well as towels to dry themselves off with. Quietly the two changed from wet clothes to dry clothes, drying themselves as they went before moving to sit on the futon together.

“I had a lot of fun today” Kirishima said smiling, as he finished drying his hair off.

“Kirishima I….I want you to know that I really appreciated your support in everything….after the first war when everything was going wrong you were there for me offering me comfort, showing me support and comfort it felt like you were my biggest supporter and after the second war you were there again” Shouto spoke, finally bringing up a lot of what he’s been wanting to say to Kirishima, “thank you so much” he adds.

“You were my friend and you were hurting you don’t need to thank me but you’re welcome” Kirishima said gently, he smiled at Shouto, but he soon noticed the wet still dripping down Shouto’s face and off his hair. “Come here let me dry you off” he said softly.

Shouto scoots closer to him, and let’s Kirishima dry his face off with a small towel. He then throws the towel over Shouto’s head and begins to rub his hair dry, he paused as the towel draped over Shouto’s face.

“Eh?” Shouto murmurs confused, as he surrendered to Kirishima.

“Just stay still” Kirishima whispered, as he leans in slowly.

Kirishima closes the distance between them, capturing Shouto’s lips in a soft but passionate kiss. To which he eagerly returned with a slight worry in the back of his head, murmuring that he was coming off maybe too desperate. He wanted this though, he really did so he returned the kiss with a fluttering chest. His lips slowly moving against Kirishima’s as he wrapped his arms around Kirishima’s neck. After a few minutes which was probably closer to a few seconds, the boys separated but Kirishima kept the towel hiding Shouto’s eyes and Shouto kept his arms around Kirishima’s neck.

“I think I love you” Shouto blurts out, maybe it was just the euphoria of the kiss that made him feel this, but he was sure of himself for once.

“Me too” Kirishima replies his voice soft, as he moves the towel to cover Shouto’s lips. He stared into the mismatched eyes, that have been in his dreams and offers him a soft smile. “Me too Shouto” “Y-you called me Shouto” said Shouto, a smile gracing his face as he pulls the towel out from under Kirishima’s hand.

“I did….is that ok?” Kirishima asks, Shouto nods his head. “I’m going to kiss you again” he says.

Before leaning in and kissing Shouto again, who eagerly returned the kiss. They continued to kiss, cheeks flushed and body’s close as they clutched at each other. The kiss lasted a little longer than the first, but they soon pulled a part and settled down to cuddle and chat about the day, the fishes and the little things before dinner time.

Lil later,

After eating with Enji and Touya, the two boys had returned back to UA. So here Shouto and Kirishima were walking into the dorms, hand in hand and a huge smile on Kirishima’s face. They were greeted by Izuku and Katsuki heading their way with garbage, Izuku’s eyes beaming as he spots them.

“Todoroki Kirishima your back” Izuku exclaimed happily, as he stopped in front of them.

“Thank god I can finally stop hearing your yapping about half’n’half” Katsuki spat, as he takes in the couple.

“Hey that’s no fair we as a whole class had to put up with you raging for month heh if not years instead of just sucking up the fact that you love Midoriya” Kirishima exclaimed, as he defended himself.

“Why you” Katsuki growls, as he drops the garbage, “forgive me” Kirishima squeaks, as he quickly pecks Shouto on the cheek.

Before taking off as Katsuki gives chase, small explosions popping off as he chased. Shouto and Izuku laugh at their two boyfriends, and their silly antics.

“Let me help you Midoriya” Shouto said, as he picked up the forgotten bags.

“Yes because then you can tell me everything” Izuku beamed, as they left the dorm buildings together, and Izuku was happy to hear about how amazing the date was and how happy Shouto was. He had his first kiss, his first date and the feelings he had festered were fruitfully returned in earnest.

Izuku: I thought I was going to get a Quirk like Kacchan’s. Or a gun.

Second: Yeah, absolutely not.

Mei Hatsume from My hero academia

By Horikoshi kōhei

[denkisauce]

every once in a while i login to tumblr, get a snippet of the chaos going on in the manga, and then never recover 😭😭 what are your recommended strategies in coping with bakugou's potentially permanent hybernation?

!! okok so my #1 coping mechanism is i like to look at things from a marketing perspective. they cant kill off bakugou bc that baby is a cash COW like the amount of revenue he brings in alone from merch and stuff?? the fact that he has been voted #1 EVERY YEAR -- imagine the analytics!! he can't be killed he's simply too popular it wouldnt be good for business. it helps me to look at things like a capitalist rather than a reader lolol

the other reason i dont think he's dead for good is it would just be too narratively jarring for him to die at that point in the story. this doesnt mean he's off the hook forever but if bakugou were to die (and i genuinely dont think this is just my shipper brain saying this) it would be in dekus arms. it would be dramatic, there would be last words spoken to each other, we would see reactions from other classmates/ time would slow down a lot more for that moment. and pacing wise it would not make sense for him to die forever right at the beginning of his fight with shigaraki calling him weak. it would not be without him making some obvious sacrifice or proving himself in a big way. what bakugous death here was is a catalyst. it was to kick off deku's fight with shigaraki, deku finally using the 2nd's quirk. narritvely it just wouldnt make any sense for bakugous death to just happen suddenly bc of quirk overuse and then the reaction being deku and mirio being like 'lets ignore this in favor of the fight at hand' if bakugou died there would be a lot more momentum to it, rather than his death adding momentum to something else if that makes sense? he's just way too important of a character

Additionally, I hope that the new Hawks in AFO's head makes his life a living hell.

[squicky-fannish-discourse]

thinking about the fact that horikoshi has weaved the kind of plot where the heroes are less sympathetic than the heroes, and I really don’t care if they win. 

The second he switches back to the villains, not only does it feel realistic, but it also strips away the idealism that the hero side tries to convince me about 

At the start of the manga, yes, i was like, “I want to see how this quirkless deku becomes number one hero” but now it’s shifted to I want to see if the system changes. I want to see if it ends up better. Because a good part of the population (apart from our heroes) doesn’t give a shit about whether society changes. They just want the heroes to win to bring back the status quo.

And some times, part of me believes, that Horikoshi through his writing puts effort with Endeavor’s redempttion/atonement, but he’s generally one of the few getting challenged by the villains to make a better system. But we’re creating more problems.

see, either shiggy is right about there being no villains and heroes, since this society can possibly benefit from anarchy, because it’s fucked up to brand people like villains, because they saw the appeal of comics to placate the audience with “the good guys always win,” 

or maybe overhaul is right, in that the world needs cleansing from quirks or whatever. 

But there is no guarantee that the system will not collapse in the near future without another all for one taking advantage of a vaccuum of power.

and on that note, should afo win, shiggy will rebel. Because this is not his endgame. It’s afo’s. And he wanted anarchy not a mafia state, and he will bring it down at all cost  

but in the narrative, deku and pals will win, because they are the good guys. they are the heroes. 

but consider the fact that that we can only root for heroes when we see their stories in entirety. Their rise. Their fall from grace. Their failings. Their wins. That’s a hero in the sincerest sense. Their journey. Their change in thought. Their growth. 

And Shigaraki fits all of those categories. So in that sense, i’m saying Shiggy is the tragic hero in a metanarrative sense. And where does deku stand in regards to that? 

[camgirlkaminari]

It's funny that you brought up Izuku's thigh high supports because... I had that same thought about them.

Sometimes I feel like he saw Miruko's thigh highs and thought "Ooh, I could use that in my costume". BOTH OF THEIR THIGH HIGHS HAVE STEEL TOE ARMOR!!

You cannot tell me he wasn't happy to put on those thighs in that sketch!

like......... he probably could have just had knee pads like bakugou, right??? he didn't NEED those things to go all the way up............ design choice. fashion icon. a-little-too-comfortable in his own skin deku supremacy etc
