#the fear of not fitting in is a big thing in mha

[bibibbon]

Speaking of Inko.

The differences between how Inko reacted/responded to Izuku’s quirkless compared to how Mrs./Mr. Aoyama reacted/responded Yuga’s quirkless is so interesting. Honestly, I wish there was a scene or something where Inko interacted with Mrs./Mr. Aoyama. The fact that Izuku could’ve ended up in Yuga’s situation is so so interesting. (You know what, I kinda need a fic where Izuku is the UA Spy and Yuga is the ninth user of OFA now tbh)

Also, I really wish that Inko got to interact with David and/or Melissa.

Actually, both yuuga and Izuku's parents have very similar responses to their child being quirkless and have very similar responses when their child gets a quirk.

There is this idea in MHA that being quirkless would bring the child a life of pain as they aren't able to fit in with their peers and the parents of these children take this incredibly seriously as we see with inko breaking down and yuuga's parents going to extreme measures to make sure their son does indeed fit in.

I think a key interpretation as to why the parents think this way is because the idea of a quirk and actually the translation for the word quirk in the early chapters was labelled as an "individuality," meaning something that makes the person unique. A quirk is essentially viewed as something that makes the person them, so its an int and contradicting idea that someone has to be unique, has to have a different power to fit in and if they don't have this power they won't be able to fit into society and will be shunned. Essentially, I find Ochako's comment about calling izuku plain interesting in the context of her talking about Izuku, who has only recently gotten a quirk. He is plain because he lacks an individuality/quirk that is his. He doesn't stand out because he doesn't have a quirk or power to make him a person in a society that label's and treats people so differently due to their quirks.

Again, the idea ends up being interesting and contradictory because someone who doesn't have individuality should be able to fit in, right? I mean, they are essentially perfect molds, no? However, mha focuses on the idea that quirkless people or people without individuality are invisible and rather have a lot of their capabilities hindered especially socially and economically.

Both parents are relieved when their child does get a quirk. However, that relief quickly fades away as they learn the price that they must pay for their child to fit in. A price far too great, one where the child has to sacrifice so much.

Both of these parents come to the conclusion that it would have been better for their children to stay quirkless. Both of these parents are happy that their child can chase their dreams bud realising the costs they would of begged for their children to stay quirkless.

Yuuga's parents say that they want to give him a chance at letting him chase his dreams, inko saying something similar when izuku gets a quirk and she becomes supportive of his dream. However, the quick fade as both parents see the reality of that dream and how both of their children are too deep in to get out, they try to do something but ultimately fail.

Alas, the only parent who actually has a positive reaction and is shown to be incredibly supportive of their quirkless child is David.

You can read the one-shot chapter here

However, I think that even with this, there is still the obvious theme because of your quirklessness you won't be able to chase your dreams and you won't be able to fit in with the other kids whether that be in all of you sharing the goal to be a hero or even when playing the popular kid game of heroes and villains that is shown in Melissa's chapter.

mha arcane au?!

okay these are all very very rough ideas and even if a character is in the role of another, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll act the same. most of these are subject to change too! still ironing out the details

jinx/powder - tomura/tenko. self-explanatory i feel like

vi - hana. she lives in this au!! and since she was a child in canon, i'm going to avoid pairing her with anyone romantically.

caitlyn - keigo. here's where the differences in this au really start to shine. keigo is originally from the undercity, after the bridge was stormed the council wanted to show they "cared" about the undercity. they got in contact with a family and paid them off in exchange for their son. keigo was then raised by the todoroki family (enji is a councilor). enji and rei are a bit iffy on keigo's decision to join the enforcers, but he's made up his mind. he starts investigating the undercity to find the root of the problem so he can reconnect with the people there and help improve lives.

ekko - shuichi? i need to inject spinaraki into everything i make, but it's also tricky since ekko is a leader and shuichi is more of a follower. i'm thinking he does some big things to try and save tenko from afo (like the deleted scene of ekko trying to save powder from silco) and along the way gains a reputation and a following. he's very hesitant about it, but he has nothing else left

vander - toshinori. unlike in canon, there's no lost friendship with silco (afo). toshinori, the hound of the underground, took up leadership of the lanes after the death of nana shimura when they tried storming the bridge. that's also where he adopted hana and tenko. after their failure to make it to piltover, he became the symbol of peace for the lanes. he kept things running smoothly and everyone looked up to him. his death shook the whole undercity

silco - afo. while silco wanted zaun to be an independent nation, afo's goals stretch further than that. once zaun has secured its place in the world, he wants to build an empire. he wants the respect and fear of everyone and manipulates anyone to get his way. he's aware of toshinori's group and has been looking for ways to topple him. the stunt his children pulled of blowing up a building topside was the perfect opportunity

sevika - really not sure. kurogiri??? I don’t know if the roles exactly fit

grayson/marcus - combining them into one character for naomasa! originally he WAS on toshinori's side, working with him to try and keep that peace. but after the explosion topside, things got rocky. afo approached him, promising he would get him results, but things got messier than naomasa ever intended. it ended with toshinori's death and the undercity get turned upside down. ever since then, he's been in afo's pocket, who threatens the lives of his family should he step out of line. took inspo from horikoshi’s original idea for naomasa where he’d be a spy for all for one

heimerdinger- nezu. i mean come on. small furry genius guys? i don't think i have to say anything else about that one

the council - made up of top pros. (enji, jeanist, ryukyu, etc.) i still need to work out if the role of mel (and by extension, ambessa) will still exist in this

there's still plenty i need to work out. i still have no idea who jayce, viktor, or milo and claggor could be. would appreciate feedback!!

[plusultraetc]

assorted Star Wars au facts I didn't include in the end notes of 'some who dream of dawn' because they were already too long. my brand 🙃✨

I DUG through the drafts to find these but I did find them!! I also found this snippet I cut from the fic that made me laugh, so I'm including that too:

okay ONTO THE INFODUMP

Toshinori is kind of a big deal around the temple on Coruscant, and he's never had a padawan before. Izuku and Katsuki were in an unofficial, self-imposed competition to see which of them he'd eventually choose (obv he picked Izuku, and Katsuki ended up with Hakamada. They clashed a lot toward the beginning since Katsuki was still a little (a lot) bitter, and by the time they were starting to understand each other better, Order 66 was on the horizon. Hakamada wasn't mentioned in much detail in 'some who dream of dawn,' but I tried to keep Katsuki's perspective on him less familiar than his narration about Aizawa.)

Katsuki's lightsaber is blue. I did wonder if it should be yellow/gold because of his quirk, but to me, blue and green are the Main Character colors in Star Wars, yk? Like, blue is the Chosen One lightsaber, it's the Anakin Skywalker lightsaber, it's the Hero With No Fear lightsaber, etc. Toshinori's lightsaber is also blue, much to Izuku's dismay (green, like Luke--a different kind of chosen one, in some ways)

Izuku and Katsuki are from the same planet and knew each other before they were brought to the temple. Katsuki's Force sensitivity was discovered by the Jedi first, and Izuku arrived a year or so later. The origin of their slightly one-sided rivalry, etc.

Nezu is kind of like the Yoda of this universe. Aizawa was his padawan :)

Aizawa's lightsaber is yellow. It just Makes Sense. (Yamada's is also green!)

Shouta & Hizashi were Jedi shadows before the clone war. I know it's kinda ironic that THE loudest character in MHA was a shadow, but I did this for 1) plot reasons and 2) my sister, who loves both Present Mic and Quinlan Vos.

Hizashi uses hearing aids in this universe, similar to cochlear implants. He got them after a mission he was a part of went wrong during his shadow days. While he was recovering on Coruscant, he ended up helping out in the Archives where he (and the Council) discovered he was very good at creating Force seals and related Holocron stuff, so he's kind of been stuck there ever since. It's not the worst, because at least Aizawa & Kayama are stuck on Coruscant, too, but he's definitely a little restless.

The lightsaber form Katsuki prefers, Ataru/Form IV, is an aggressive, acrobatic style (like that of Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn). It feels fitting for his very destructive quirk and his whole 'flying around with explosions' thing. He used to favor Form V, like Toshinori, but wanted to distinguish himself from Izuku by training with a different combat style.

Speaking of lightsaber forms, Kirishima uses Shien dual wielding, like Ahsoka. This is literally just because he has two swords in some of the fantasy au art. Monoma earned his copycat nickname when he picked up the same style.

[anti-katsuki-lounge]

You know, I can’t help but wonder if any of the Bakustans would actually like Bakugo if they’d met a person like him in real life.

Because I’ve met a couple of “Bakugos”. I grew up in one of the most affluent counties in my country- so you can imagine there were more than a couple spoiled rich kids. But the “Bakugos” stood out from apart the rest. You could tell they were never properly held accountable for anything in their entire life. So they believed they had a right to do anything. To anyone. At any time. Especially if that person didn’t fit in for some reason. And there always was this…rage simmering underneath. Some hid it under charm and charisma, some wore it with pride. But it was always there. It was as if they felt that, despite having access to some of the best opportunities this world could provide, the universe still owed them something they weren’t getting. As if their sense of entitlement had grown so big and all-consuming that it had become a colossal black hole inside them, one that could never be filled.

Sound familiar?

And, let me tell you something: that behavior is NOT funny or endearing if you see it up close. At best it’s obnoxious and frustrating. At worse it’s downright terrifying.

I DO see how that attitude might appeal to some young teens. I remember being that age. You’re hormones have just kicked into full gear. You’re angry all the time, sometimes for no apparent reason. Every semi-bad thing feels like a world-ending catastrophe, or a grave injustice. Now, MOST teens move past this phase, mature, and learn to manage their emotions. But, until then, seeing Bakugo rage at people and not get consequences for it, and even seeing him be rewarded by the universe in spite of it….I imagine that would feel validating.

My fear is that some teens will take away from MHA that it’s okay to treat people like shit if you’re unhappy for some reason. And that’s just…no. Whether you’re angry or sad or jealous or insecure or any emotion in between, you are still accountable for your actions. You are still required to treat people decently.

What do you think?

So when it comes to asshole/evil characters and their Stans, there’s two groups. The first one knows that if such a person existed in real life, they’d hate them. Due to the fictional nature of their favorite character, they’re able to enjoy their behavior because it’s fiction. I��m not going to focus on them.

Sadly, I do believe that he would have a lot of followers/Stans. Andrew Tate, Sneako, Keemstar, and the like have platforms built on their toxic manners. People find them appealing, whether it’s due to entertainment or because they genuinely believe the bullshit these guys spread. Katsuki’s got “talent” and people might see Katsuki’s lack of manners as inspirational.

[shayandwildlifepack]

questions! 1, 4 and 21 :}

This post is gonna be long, so if you want to read it, press the "keep reading" thing!

1. Kintypes?

Ok, gonna answer for all of us who are known, lol. We are working on making/creating some packmates that aren't included in this post.

For me, it's wolf, dog, cat, crow, and ockins (Zuki, Cyan, and Akay. Zuki is MHA/BNHA, Cyan is RWBY, and Akay is DDLC). And then also "mixtures" of the previous ("actual") animal kins (such as wolfdog, cat + crow, etc). I might actually have more kins than this, but these are the known ones.

We have Shirley, who shifts between multiple (if not all) medium and big dog breeds [and some other canines, like wolves and foxes]. There is also Lynix, who shifts between multiple kinds of felines (domestic cat breeds, lions, etc). Declan is a cat. Den is a dragon.

Mystery and Lakey are hard to actually pinpoint what they actually are, lol. But they aren't human.

We have (oc) fictives as well. We don't know whether to really count them for their "fictiveness," but they do fit under the alterhuman and nonhuman communities, and they use those terms, so we will talk about them a bit. Vesper is a fallen angel from the Helluvaverse (if you [general you] don't like that we have a Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fictive than just block us pls). Okami is a werecreature from MHA/BNHA [my cousin!!!]. Oynx is a wolfdog animatronic from FNAF. Phalen is a werecreature from the Harry Potter universe [not sure what timeline they are from, lol]. Moonfire is a tiefling dragon mix from DND [we have never actually played DND in this life sadly].

We also have a "subsystem" (we call it a subpack, lol. As we use pack instead of system) that is fictive(s) from Encanto [we are bodily white, so if this upsets anyone, just block us please]. We aren't gonna go into any real detail about this subpack, but we will say that none of them are (actually) human, lol.

4. Favorite kintype?

This is hard, lol. For the longest time, I was mainly talking about Zuki, but I don't think I would call Zuki my "favorite." I miss my life as Zuki, but I also miss my life as Cyan and Akay. I miss being more animal-like than this stupid human body [this body is stupid cause it doesn't fit any of us, not because 'humans are bad' btw. We don't hate humans. We may have fear and shit of (unknown to us) humans, but we don't hate humans]. Anyways, I would probably just say a mixture of all of my ("actual") animal kins, so a wolfdog cat crow creature, lol.

Don't think we/I am gonna answer for the others, cause this is longer than we thought it'd be.

21. How does your plurality affect your alterhumanity?

Hey, it's our question we added for us!!! Also, did we use "affect" right?

Anyways, our plurality affects our alterhumanity in many ways, lol. We have talked a bit about multiple of our/my packmates in this post already. None of us in the "Wildlife Pack" are human. We are all alterhumans and nonhumans.

Our plurality is also very much intertwined with our alterhumanity. It is essentially part of our alterhumanity. While some plural beings may not consider themselves alterhumans, plurality is/can be a part of the alterhuman umbrella. And that is definitely the case for us.

We don't know exactly what our origin is for our plurality but we are pretty sure (around 99.99% sure) that we do not have a CDD [CDD means complex dissociative disorder, which are things like DID, OSDD, etc]. We also think trauma at least impacted our plurality even if it didn't cause it, so we mostly call ourselves quoitraumagenic, but we might not 100% fit under "traumagenic." Anyways, we are 100% pro endo and endo safe!! If anyone doesn't like that, block us.

- Shay 🐾

Anyways, we/I have ranted for a lot of this post, lol. So this is gonna be the end of it for now.

Also, if there are any mistakes with spelling, grammar, etc. Only correct us if you are meaning it in a constructive way, please. As we are bad with English (despite it being our main/only language in this life/body, lol). [We are disabled in multiple ways, and it affects us in multiple ways.]

[cookiesart]

Hey, I just wanna say I really like those mha ocs u made! The two girls and that one curly haired guy. Can we get more details on them? Anything u wanna say about them?

Oh yo?? Thanks for showing interest my man?? I’ll put it all under the cut so I don’t flood anyone’s screens

Let’s start off with my gal! cuki chokochi, she’s in the hero course at UA by the name “Precious pockets” and her quirk is, u guessed it, portal pockets! she can store basically anything inside ANY pocket/bag and be the only one to access it! She even knows how to sew to add more pockets, It can’t be organized for shit so she takes a while to find stuff but she is incredibly versatile on the field! she def keeps you on ur toes! But don’t fret normally she’s sweet as she is fluffy, And fun story actually, the reason why her design is kinda misleading is cuz the first quirk concept I had for her was a beast transformation quirk, but the idea was already taken by a canon character and thus had to be changed xD Izzy actually helped spark the pockets idea, I just liked the design too much to fully redo it. Her horns are unevenly grown and she’s a little insecure about her furry features but her friends reassure her she’s lovely way she is, she likes fairy kei/decora fashion but can’t wear too many layers due to her fur, and her favorite things are waffles and stars. she’s also dating iida, she helps him learn to relax.

Next up is my bestie @needs-to-stop-looking-at-valves ‘s girl! Kokomo kiri. she’s in the support course and has a real knack for creating countless new support items/costumes. Her signature is brass knuckles lol and her quirk is nightmare noms, She can make nightmares reality just by eating them from her victims minds when asleep, thanks to her eyes she can visually see their dreams. They can even look different based on the contents of said dream. Once eaten, she can conjure up very convincing illusions and use all your senses against you, She’s a master at mimicry and can even make someone fall asleep just by making eye contact, it’s why I designed her eyes to be hypnotic swirls! basically nightmares are her fuel, but if she gets too backed up she vomits a black sludge that if touched can make one more prone to fear. It’s actually why her hands are permanently stained. She also suffers from insomnia, she’s an acquired taste for sure and she speaks very weirdly but she just loves in her own special way! Albeit she’s very crude and impulsive. And very blunt. with a super dark sense of humor too. But I promise she’s nice! She wears a beanie to hide her messy bed head and Her favorite things are banana bread and bats, she’s dating sato. And yes. He makes her banana bread whenever she wants.

And lastly but not LEAST we have our absolute LAD tomonari jishaku! Him and cuki are in the hero course together! He goes by the name “checkmate”. Cuki gives him confidence whilst kiri keeps him humble. By bullying him. but she loves the nerd, she really does. His quirk is magnet, he has metal protrusions on his chest and arms, with the left hand he pushes and with the right he pulls, he’s super skilled and trains hella hard but if he over uses it’s a lotta stress on his poor nerves. despite his very anxious and quite frankly pushover demeanor, when the time calls for it, he for sure can kick your ass. He just needs a little encouragement?? Don’t we all? He’s a huge video game nerd and he actually tends to avoid cursing, and conflict. his favorite things are pineapple pizza, pink lemonade and photography. He has pictures hung up everywhere and He’s dating tetsutetsu. They’re very homo gym bros

And all together this trio is called the creation crew, like how the big three call themselves. Well. The big three! These guys all create things in their own ways, pretty fitting team name if you ask me, And if you really read this far? I SUPER appreciate it! ✨

[mortalia2064]

So, I've cooked up an OC, inspired by a MHA fic where Shoto comforts an alley cat, Shigaraki finds him, they talk for a bit, and then shigaraki offers to lend a video game to Shoto (hint: ... it's cheat code, the fanfic was cheat code.)

[This character was not made to fit into the world of My Hero Academia, only inspired by something I read. My intentions, if I were to ever do anything with this idea, would be to fit him into my own original world. Any powers described below are NOT quirks. ...you know, unless you retrofit this character into MHA.]

Shaun Doma, the Parade Leader of the Forsaken

A bit on the shorter side, thin build, with brown shaggy hair that falls to the bottom of his head. Has a few nicks, a few scars, a few scratches. From what? Who knows.

A short kid (not a literal child, either an old teenager or a young adult) with an acoustic guitar and a good singing voice. A good singing voice, just, unfortunately, not perfectly fitted for the songs he wants to sing. It's a good thing for him, then, that he has the power that he does; he can make sounds he's heard from memory, well... *sound* once more. Much more intuitive than an audio file, he can listen to a full song, pick out all the instruments while listening, then sound only the parts of the song that aren't covered by his voice and instrument, so that he can play covers of songs without an instrumental track of the song, or even audio equipment. With practice, he's been able to make his guitar sound electric, and even modify his voice as he sings to sound more like the singer he's covering. The bums, criminals, street rats, and kicked-out youths love listening to him play, and his songs are sure to beckon all sorts of uncommon characters to gather around the oil drum trash fire.

His favorite band is Bear Ghost, and his favorite song from them is Gypsy. All his spectators tend to find aspects of themselves or their stories in the lyrics to that song.

...although, sometimes, when singing the parts of bear ghost songs that really emphasize how the narrator is flawed, the dementedness of the lyrics leaks into his smile...

Anyways, Shaun has built up quite a rapport with the community, what with the various requests and odd jobs he's done for them. He always seems to be ready to help, with a big smile and a patient ear. And yet, for all of the socializing that he does within these circles, not one person has a very clear picture on how he lives most of his life. To most, he only offers scant details here and there. Whatever the case is, odds are he doesn't have the usual "financially comfortable and emotionally stable 2-parent household" support system to fall back onto; folks with those sorts of lives tend not to find themselves interacting with the destitute sorts.

If you want a description of his personality, then... hm... how about tarot cards? Shaun likes to give the appearance of belonging to the fool arcana, but he's likely much closer to the hanged man.

[This character has the capacity to be repurposed as a minor villain [again, not "villain" in the MHA sense of the term, just in a metanarrative sense], one who lures in the forsaken with his siren song. (The pull comes more from a sense of comfort, not from any literal siren powers.) Once lured, who knows what fate they'll end up in? People don't really know. I want to say that the community never picks up on this and always trusts him, but depending on the frequency with which he does it, some old soul might eventually catch on.]

Doma is sanskrit. Thanks, Wikipedia :)

(On that note, I'm afraid of adding character design elements to Shaun to make him Romani/gypsy-coded, for fear of using racial stereotypes I do not understand)

...let's see if I can tag this post right...

Word Count: 3,141

There was something about the night. Not just when it got dark but, when the world grew quiet, when it appeared everyone had gone to sleep, it usually brought you peace but instead you were wide awake with worry and dread.

Sleep should have come easy since you only got a few hours of sleep here and there on the plane but you were past the point of exhaustion, your mind was racing. Unable to discern where one thought ended and another began, everything morphing together into one big blog of stress and anxiety. Lying awake in bed, staring up at the ceiling as if it held all the answers.

Avery promised when you carried them back down to their room that they wouldn't say anything to the rest of the family about you getting in already. They knew better than most the stress your family brought on and they'd let you deal with it on your own time. Still just a kid but you couldn't believe how wise they were.

But, even with the promise made, it all still loomed overhead. All the comments you heard growing up, how you'd never fit it, never amount to anything, just have to settle if you were only lucky enough to find someone who could tolerate you; would they still think that of you? You'd become a hero for crying out loud, you've actually saved people's lives... you made a difference but would it ever be enough?

Tears welled in your eyes, hot and angry because you knew they were wrong. You had people you fit in with, a place you belonged, and you sure as hell weren't settling for a damn thing! There was even a chance you'd found someone who not only tolerated you but actually liked you! But, their opinions still got under your skin, clawed their way through you until they were embedded into your heart and set up shop inside your brain.

You kicked the blankets off you, happy you and Eijiro opted for separate beds, trying to keep things as easy as possible until Sunday rolled around, but now you were just thankful you wouldn't wake him when you crawled out of your bed.

It didn't take you long to change into the swimsuit you'd packed on a whim, to creep out the sliding door and slip into the warmth of the hot tub. The rumbling sound of the jets filled your ears and you let the night swallow your unwelcomed thoughts, the water collect your unwanted tears.

Your heart still hammered in your chest, mad and confused. If it wouldn't have gotten you kicked out of the hotel you would have screamed from the top of your lungs.

"If I come over there," You hadn't even heard the door open but knew you had nothing to fear when you heard Eijiro's tired voice, "and find you upset, crying in a damn hot tub rather than waking my ass up..."

"What're you gonna do, big guy? Huh?"

He'd walked up behind you and lifted himself over the edge, right into the water, sweats and all.

"Eijiro!"

"I got other pairs."

His arm went around your shoulders, pulling you against his side not even bothering to ask what you were crying about. "You need to sleep. Staying awake through this whole trip isn't going to help anything."

"You think I don't know that? I just can't. My brain won't turn off."

He pressed his lips to the crown of your head, a soft kiss before whispering, "Hey brain, go the fuck to sleep."

Oh, he'd reached a special level of tiredness. One that made him more blunt than usual.

"I, eh, don't think she's listening."

"She better start listening." He grumbled and sank lower into the water, his arm dipping beneath the surface and settling around your back. The ends of his hair floated out when his head rested against the ledge, eyes closed.

"Eiji, you should go to bed."

"Are you coming with me?"

"We agreed that since we have two beds we should-"

"Screw that."

"What?"

"Yeah, screw that. Only way I'm going to bed is if you come with me."

"That's not fair."

His eyes squinted open, almost glowing in the hazy light the tub gave off, "What's not fair is you keeping yourself awake. I told you last night, I know you sleep better when you've got someone in the same bed, so, don't be stubborn 'bout it and lemme take you to bed."

You chewed your lip, mulling it over when Eijiro grew tired of waiting for your answer.

He had promptly picked you up and set you on him, your legs straddling his lap. Despite your gasp and the water sloshing over the tub, he remained completely un-phased, looking up, his lower lip jutting out ever so slightly, "For me?"

"I hate when you do that."

It was entirely unfair, his sleepy ruby eyes and that perfect pout.

The bastard even pretended like he didn't know exactly what he was doing. "When I do what?"

"This." Thumb ghosting over his lip, pulling it down just so before it wobbled back.

His fingers pressed a little harder into the skin of your thighs, hardly noticeable with the way his mouth moved. "Why?" That sleepy smirk on his face was something too dangerous. Mixed with hooded eyes and soothing water... he had a fire churning low in your belly.

The honest truth was because it made you want to kiss him. Every single time he puffed his stupid lip he looked so very kissable and, the words slipped out.

"Oh?" You nodded only making that smirk grow, "Well if you want to kiss me, I'm not stopping you."

Your hands locked behind his neck. "What happened to you behaving?"

"Oh, well, it's uh exhausted Eijiro's shift now. See, he's got a lot less sense than well-rested Eijiro." Slowly under the water, you could feel his hands traveling up to your hips, his thumbs catching the straps of your suit before continuing. "Exhausted Eijiro really just wants to take what you're willing to give." Water dripped down his arms when he gently held your face. "But, I've got enough common sense to say if you just wanna give me the peace of mind that you'll go the fuck to sleep, I'll happily take that too."

Your eyes flicked from his eyes back to his lips for a moment. "Just what I give?"

"Do you really think I'd take anything more?" Absolutely not. "Y/N, whatever this is, where ever it's going, you set the pace."

"Can- could I just kiss you for a bit?"

"Please."

He was so damn sweet, brushing his lips against yours, letting you toy with his lower lip as if he knew exactly what you'd been wanting to do.

Minutes slipped by while you got lost in the other. He remained perfectly respectful, almost to the point you didn't want him to be. His fingers would trace your spine, halting right at your tailbone or his thumbs would graze the sides of your breast, was he teasing you on purpose? Or was he really too tired to notice what he was doing?

Your lips were still against his, puffy from all the attention. "Take me to bed, Eijiro."

He didn't have to be told twice.

Large hands made sure you were secure before hoisting you both up out of the water. He didn't falter when he carried you out, sure-footed walking down the stairs, the both of you sopping wet, trotting back into the house leaving puddles in your wake.

Kisses were traded for warm laughter, smiling against each other's lips, taking you up to the master. The lamp at the bedside was on and you expected him to plop you right down on the bed but he instead went for the bathroom, setting you atop the large counter in between the two sinks.

Eijiro kissed your nose, moving quickly when you asked what he was doing. "Chlorine always gives you headaches. You need to wash it off."

It'd been years since you told him that.

"I'll grab you a shirt and shorts and be just out there when you're done."

A part of you wanted to ask him to stay. A large part. To strip your suit off and press you against the glass wall but he was walking away. "Why not make a move? You literally had me in your lap, why not take it further?"

He stopped at slowly turned back to you, fuck, you'd asked it out loud.

His smile was soft, his eyelids heavy, "'Cause you deserve better. I've fucked you once when I was drunk and there are parts I can't even remember of that night, to be honest," He stepped back in front of you, "So if I get the chance to fuck you again I wanna be wide awake, completely present, and I want you to be too." One long finger tapped your temple. "You're not all here right now and I get why." He tilted your chin up and kissed you deeply. "I want you but I wouldn't feel right screwing you now."

"I thought exhausted Eijiro lacked sense, you said." But, of course, he had a point. You couldn't remember everything about that night either and, you wanted him to be more than just a temporary distraction from your family. You wanted something more than physical even if physical was so very tempting.

"Well, you don't make it easy on me, that's for sure." His low chuckle didn't make it easy on you either, "I wanna do this right and I think you do too. I don't wanna rush it."

You pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you."

He nodded, "Now, I'm gonna go get you those clothes before I lose the willpower to walk away from you." And this time, you let him go.

Eijiro dug around the drawers he'd put his clothes in, finding something suitable for you to wear and not think about how very naked you were just a few feet awake, not think about how hard he'd gotten with you in his lap.

You were too important, he had to keep reminding himself that. He couldn't risk you waking up again in the morning and sneaking off, he'd do his best to make sure you were happy and comfortable, hoping you never felt like you had to do that again. And that meant behaving.

Not getting horny thoughts the moment he finds you in a swimsuit!

Eijiro found a hoodie, you'd always liked sleeping in them, and a pair of athletic shorts that were going to be way too big on you but he didn't think you'd mind. He knocked briefly and waited for the okay to enter, simultaneously thankful and absolutely fucking hating the beautifully tiled wall that hid you from view.

"I'm gonna change real quick so the carpet in the bedroom doesn't get wet. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

He let his wet clothes fall to the floor, exchanging them for ones that were warm and dry hanging up over the edge of the bathtub, and then promptly left before doing something entirely stupid.

He listened to the water raining down from your shower when he laid back against the pillows, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone. Sending off a text to Katsuki letting him and the rest of your friends know you'd arrived safely, something you should have done hours ago but he'd been far too tired to remember.

The shower dripped to a stop and it wasn't long before the door opened, illuminating the room briefly with a single beam of warm yellow light. He'd abandoned his phone, watching your silhouette walk to the bed in his hoodie that practically swallowed you whole.

The blankets were already pulled back for you, his arms wide and waiting for you to settle between. You found your spot, tucked under his chin, legs winding together. "What're you gonna do if you can't sleep?"

"Lay here, trapped in a cuddle."

"Try again."

"I'll wake you up, Eiji."

"Good girl."

He felt your breathing stutter, did your thighs just clamp around his? No. He was just imagining that... damn, he really needed sleep.

There was a particularly pesky ray of sunlight shining in through a high window, shining directly into your face.

You groaned and rolled... smack into Eijiro's broad chest, perfect. He was still asleep and an outstanding shield. You buried your face under his chin again. "No sneaking off this time."

His voice was rough with sleep and his arms ensnared you.

"I wasn't planning on it. It's too bright out there."

He yanked the comforter up above both your heads. "You'd sleep in a fort if you could."

"You're damn right I would."

Much like he'd done on the plane, Eijiro rolled you on top of him, brushing hair back off your face. "Does that mean you don't want to go anywhere today?"

You were at a resort for Gods sake, there was so much you could be doing, not to mention the little town nearby, the touristy things you could take him to, even go back to the city for the day if you hadn't slept it away. But, all those things involved leaving the room and therefore you risked running into family prematurely.

"Don't be scared." You looked down at him and couldn't help but smile. One pointed tooth, hanging over his lip. "Tell me. We'll find a way to make it happen."

"There's this little village about a twenty-minute drive south. They've got these shops, all handmade goods, candles that smell delicious..."

"Sounds nice."

"But, we'd have to leave the room and my family is probably in the lobby or in the elevator or in the dining room-"

"Yes, and you have a quirk that can avoid all that."

You blinked, he was right. Obviously, you had a quirk to avoid all that! Or most of it. "I don't know where the car is, the valet took it last night. I still have the ticket in my bag."

His lips scrunched while he plotted. "Your family doesn't know me. Well, besides Avery but they said they wouldn't out us for being here yet. Why don't I just go down and get the car and swing around to where you can see the car? You could just teleport in?"

"That's a good idea."

"I have those every now and then." You playfully smacked his chest, "That does mean we've gotta leave the fort though."

Your hands wiggled and burrowed under his back, smooshing your face down into him, "'M not ready."

It didn't help that those calloused fingers found their way into your hair and rubbed your scalp. "Take your time."

The plan was just as he'd said, once you guys finally left the bed, you parted ways to get changed for the day ahead. Settling on jeans, sneakers, and a light jacket, one with a hood just in case you spotted anyone you wanted to hide from.

Meeting him in front of the elevator, Eijiro went with a similar look but rather than a jacket he wore a black and grey button-down over a fitted shirt. He had his bright hair pulled back again and grinned wide when he saw you, "Ready to do this?"

"As I'll ever be. Thanks for doing this, by the way, I know it's silly but-"

He kissed your cheek, "Yeah, it's a little silly but, if it makes your feel even just a little more relaxed then I'm happy to do it." You squeezed his hand, "You do owe me breakfast though when we get outta here. Best place around. Whatever it is."

"I've got a couple ideas."

The elevator dinged and he stepped in, "Can't wait to hear, em."

You had time, of course, but you still made your way out to the balcony. Peering over the railing at the people below in the pool. They were all too far away but you wondered if you knew any of them. Some of your cousin's children would be teens by now. How many of them would be here?

Laughter filled the air, even reaching you high above where everything was okay. Safe.

Your eyes tracked over to the parking lot, wondering when you'd see the jeep pull up where you and Eijiro had discussed. There weren't many people walking to the cars back there. Just one or two people, that was all you counted and it dawned on you as you saw a cherry red jeep pull out of a spot, this was the valet lot.

There were no other lots within eyesight and you didn't know the area well enough to teleport outside on your own. Sure enough, your phone rang, "Hey Ei."

"Yeah, we've got a problem."

"Can't drive back to that lot, can you?"

"Nope."

"Fuck."

"How busy was the lobby?"

"Decently. But, I didn't know anyone. Not that I'd know your family members if I saw them."

You pulled the zipper up on your jacket. "Can you drive back to the entrance? I'll just teleport right out front."

"I'm already here. Even got the door open for ya."

With a deep breath, you threw your hood up and blinked.

In an instant, the distant laughter was now up close chatter. There was a disgruntled woman, huffing about the youth using their quirks whenever they wanted but you didn't hear the end of her complaints.

You saw the jeep, Eijiro with his phone still to his ear looking right at you. You also saw a woman step out of the black town car right behind him and your heart sank.

It'd been nearly seven years since you'd seen her. Seven years and she still looked the same with her perfect haircut, eyes hidden behind thick sunglasses, and her perfectly tailored coat. Gods, you hated all of it.

You didn't chance running to the car and her seeing you, another blink had you in the passenger's side, pulling the door closed behind you while Eijiro started to drive and you released your breath.

He took one look at your face, "Who?"

"My mother."

He weaved around stationary cars, until he was out of the resort area, just driving down the road with a hand on your knee and your mind spinning. "Hey, look at me." You did, "I don't know where the hell I'm going."

A laugh bubbled from you and a smile spread across his face, "And you owe me breakfast."

You did. And if your mother was at the hotel, that meant she wasn't going to be at any of the places you wanted to go. There was a silver lining.

"Right. So, breakfast burritos or eggs benedict?"

"Um, both?”

Yandere Types ✧ MHA

Description: A breakdown of the types of yandere I think the MHA characters would be like. I will be using the Yandere Chart that I created in order assign each characters type and danger level. Part One :: Hanta Sero, Shoto Todoroki, & Tamaki Amajiki,

WARNING: yandere content, toxic relationships, v light smut NOTE: kidnapping, non-con, violence, in order of danger level, not proof-read, a shit post really

“If I can’t have you, no one can...”

HANTA SERO — 16

Motive :: Isolating (3)

Behavior :: Possessive (6)

Executions :: Wrong Idea Type (2) | Monopoly Type (5) 

Hanta Sero is extremely charismatic and many find it very easy to relax around him. Most people wouldn’t think the ability to fit in with any crowd was a disadvantage, but it had left Hanta with a shaking fear that he couldn't stand out among his peers. That was the last thing an aspiring pro-hero needed while trying to climb to the top. It’s because of this lack of control in his social life that his yandere motive would be isolating you. He would wish to keep you away from all things that could potentially draw your attention away. 

It wouldn’t take much to catch Sero’s interest. He’s a wrong idea type which means the shortest interaction can spark his interest- whether it's lending him a pen in a moment of need or smiling at him in passing. He would very much like to keep you safe, more so if you’ve been open to his advances. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he offered you substances such as cannabis or alcohol to speed up the process of you growing comfortable in his presence. He would get physical faster than most as he is naturally a touchy person, most likely going down on you multiple times before attempting to get pleasure from you. Hanta is very intelligent, it would be relatively easy for him to earn your favor, and making sure you are constantly satisfied would be a major factor. Besides, he has a wicked mouth that would murmur sweet nothings as he sucked and licked at your arousal making it nearly impossible for you to think about anything else.

You would not doubt that Hanta had your best interest in mind. Even when he would express his concerns about the intentions of others. He would appeal to your logic and be sure you knew how much you meant to him— how he couldn’t lose you. Of course, he was always right about the ones you decided to keep around despite his warnings. Whether they made you uncomfortable, turned their backs on you, or vanished completely- you always lost contact with them. By the time you've started to run low on outside connections, you wouldn't mind pushing people away. Hanta Sero would be your constant. Besides, his peace of mind meant more to you than certain relationships and you were sure he'd do the same for you.

SHOTO TODOROKI — 17

Motive :: Submissive (1)

Behavior :: Overprotective (5)

Executions :: Obsession Type (3) | Self-Sacrifice Type (8)

Shoto Todoroki is motivated by his family trauma. There is no doubt that he is touch-starved and desperate for affection, beneath his hard protective exterior, of course. He looks at life through a calm and calculating gaze. On the off chance that he came in contact with someone who caught his interest, he would keep his distance, which is for the best considering his social cues are severely lacking. He would most likely be the one to watch you for the longest before making a move. Shoto would be sure to look out for you without making it on your radar. There would be times he would even go as far as to turn away your potential suitor or lead you away from an upperclassman prank. His infatuation would only grow with time, but there would be a breaking moment where his yandere behavior worsens. It would be a particularly heartfelt moment between you, whether it's sharing a traumatic moment or assisting with an injury, that would push him past the point of no return. He would be obsessed. 

Todoroki's overprotective nature would take an aggressive turn when he would catch others interacting with you. It didn't matter if they had glanced your way for a beat too long or went as far as to seek out your attention. By the time he began courting you, rather than just watching from afar, you would begin noticing the changes in his behavior. Specifically when others were around. There would be a point when he told you not to interact with certain classmates. His social understandings would be his downfall as he wouldn’t note your negative reaction. Not until you stand up to him. After that, you could expect plenty of gifts and apologies. He would so clearly feel guilty and stop at nothing to make sure you knew that, to the extent that you almost feel wrong for being so upset. He was just worried that he would lose you.

The turn in your relationship would be when you grew intimate. Oddly enough you would have to be the one to take this next step in your relationship. However, once he's given free rein to touch you, he won't stop. Shoto isn’t the type to plan for one romantic relationship, let alone anything after his first love, so the moment he slid his cock into your tight, wet concave he would own you. 

TAMAKI AMAJIKI — 24

Motive :: Isolating (4)

Behavior :: Obsessive (3)

Executions :: Stalker Type (6) | Worship Type (10)

Tamaki Amajiki is rarely sure of himself or his actions despite his undeniable intelligence and talent. He had taken to hiding in the shadow of his peers, though that was difficult with best friends who pushed him into the spotlight. Being a member of the Big Three only drew the attention of more. It was safe to say that his anxious personality could be a setback. However, it also made him very observant. Through that observance, he can decypher environments and body language much faster than most. He liked to stand back and watch- to feel the tension around him. That tension would be suffocating when he officially met you. It could be a number of instances. After Nejire had knocked his books from his hands in a fit of excitement, arms swinging and sending the stack right to your feet. Or perhaps Mirio would be bursting into laughter, cheerfully slapping his arm and sending him tumbling into your around a sharp turn. Either way, he would be a stuttering mess. If you met his apologies with soft smiles or reassurance it would surely set his gears turning. 

It would be his lack of confidence that encouraged his yandere-like behavior, specifically stalking. Within a week he would be able to put together your schedule and your locker location. How he hadn’t noticed you before would remain a mystery as he would begin seeing you everywhere. Some days he would fall into step with you, keeping a safe distance as he marveled at your routine behavior. As time went on he would feel more confident in closing that distance. It would remain that way for a few months until something pushed his interest into a fixation. Every good quality that you possessed would become far more impressive to him and spur him to get closer— to learn more. He would begin breaking into your personal items be that your locker or bedroom, it didn't matter as long as he got closer to you. It wouldn't be surprising if Mirio and Neijire had started to notice the way his gaze would linger. They would take it upon themselves to reach out to you without realizing the severity of the situation. 

The tipping point for his yandere behavior would a moment of absolute panic. You would have already grown close, fully integrated with the Big Three, when you would begin spending time with another student. Tamaki would be able to contain his jealousy when it came to his friends, but someone outside of that close-knit group? He would see them as a direct threat and he would deal with it accordingly. In the beginning, he would explain how he feels comfortable with you, making sure you knew how different you compared to others. That would most likely lead to the two of you spending more time alone. If that didn't keep the threat at bay then he would waste no more time, prompting threatening or attacking them. In the long run, the only thing that would ruin his hold over you would be pushing too many people away and getting caught, but he would deal with that the best way he knew how.

[feastfic]

i'm trying to find a way to make this a hella funny ask but like i literally did just wake up and see that you drew batman even more sexy then normal and it MADE ME FEEL THINGS so just yknow. could you spare some crumbs

Teehee yeah I got a few crumbs for you :)

• Batman is the oldest brother of four — Creep is his youngest brother by around 700,000 years or so. (So a pretty big age gap!)

• He's a tough love kind of guy, but his heart's in the right spot and always has been at least for his brethren. He pushes them around, but he means well.

• However he's very hardheaded and difficult to persuade if it doesn't align with his morals. He was the last to retire being a chaos god (and that doesn't even happen until thousands of years in the future if we're talking present time.) They've all done it for so long, why should he stop? He's very devoted to his role as the chaotic god of Devotion, after all.

• If Creep's role is the Fun god, and skewed it into chaos by playing a murder game with Exetior, then Batman dictates his role as Devotion through simply doing his worst at every opportunity. There's a passion to his sport that's uncontested, and he has the most blood on his hands for a reason because of it.

• His presence demands respect at the very least, and fear and obedience. If he's in the same room as you, expect to feel the tension in the air. His power is tangible.

• Unlike his brethren, he has no eyelights, nor as many of the voidlike tendrils. He's calmed them and eradicated them from his body, so all you see looking into his face is nothing but a cold and unforgiving void.

• Fitting to his height (7'2) he has a Very deep voice. One that rumbles your chest if you're close to him.

• All of his body is the same shade of blue, the black is just shadows. They present themselves in a dynamic manner (think All Might from MHA. That kind of deal.)

• He's incredibly blunt about everything, and has a tendency to word things poorly. Even so, if you squint you'll normally be able to tell what he means, or why he intends to do something. Normally it's not anything bad, it's just misguided.

• Physically, he's the strongest out of his siblings. He can clear entire planets of life with his hands alone. (In terms of things like recreation and mind games however, those go to others.)

• Again like his brothers too, he's a hermaphrodite, sexually speaking. They're all genderless, too.

• Batman has a very hard time understanding Creep's change specifically. Wearing a mask was originally seen by Batman as a sign of rebellion, an act of hatred; a lot of things he saw Creep doing as a means to alienate himself from the others. Clones were meant to be used for work, not creating a family. Things like that.

• He's unfamiliar to the concept of romance, or the desire to remain close to anyone for extended periods of time. Or at least, time works so differently for him that years fly by like mere minutes to him.

[sugoi-and-spice]

7. 12. and 31 for the ask game pls? :) ?!

gosh, im so curious about the reader from play nice :) !

7. Do they have any unusual fears?

Oooh, I haven't thought too much about this one. Obviously her big/deep-rooted fears are of being excluded and standing out, not to mention inconveniencing or losing her family. But those aren't particularly unusual. She doesn't have a lot of the big fears like heights or bugs or drowning - she's a pretty adventurous person.

I'd say she's probably not a huge fan of birds. She spent a lot of time at the beach where birds flocked to, stealing food and getting in her face. So yeah, she doesn't trust 'em.

She's probably a little too attached to her cellphone/technology for her own good, so she definitely freaks out a little when she loses it.

12. Do they have any sense of style? Regardless of the answer do they believe they have a sense of style?

Yes, she's super fashionable! A very active consumer of social media and fashion magazines, she always tries to stay on trend so that she can keep up with her friends. Although, she does also like fashion and make-up for herself as well. She doesn't just believe that she's fashionable, she knows it. After all, she spends a lot of time making sure of it.

31. What superpower would you choose for them and what would they choose for themselves? If they have one would they choose something else?

Hehehe, ohhh what a poignant question for this one. Essentially, if she were in the canon - what quirk would she have, right? This is such an interesting one, there's a couple of directions we could go with it.

My first thought would be to give her a power related to water or swimming to continue with the water symbolism. Maybe she has a super-human lung capacity or she has some heteromorphic traits in her family history and got some gills?

In Play Nice canon, I think MC would choose to be able to read minds so that she'd know instantly what a person was about and would have an easier time fitting in with them as a result. But she especially wishes she could read minds after meeting Shigaraki. What's going through that fluffy head of his is just a complete mystery to her.

Although, in normal MHA canon, if she had this power, I think it would come with the side effect that she reads everyone's mind - even those that she doesn't want to. It just all plays for her like any other chatter/regular out-loud conversations would. It would help her in fitting in, like she wants, but it also would be emotionally devastating at times when people thought a little too honestly about things. Not to mention, it would be dangerous when she unintentionally mind-read the League.

OC Asks!

requesting rules

It was raining. The weather forecast hadn't said anything about showers, yet it was almost a storm. Luckily you only had about a block left before you reached Shoto's home. You were going there to spend some time together, since you had been dating for a while. Neither of you had said a word about it to anyone, but you both wanted to meet each other's families even if they just saw you as "the friend". Shoto's hand was holding yours tightly, leading the way to his home. At this point you didn't care about the rain, you were just happy to hold his hand. The two of you weren't exactly at a PDA stage, considering the fact that your relationship was secret and you were both very awkward when it came to love. Classic case of the first love. With your fingers intertwined you were still able to feel warm, despite the cold raindrops swatting at your face.

When you finally got to his house you didn't even get a chance to look at the outside. In fear of getting a cold, and let's be honest you're not going to stand out in the rain to look at a house, you ran inside as quickly as possible together. "I'll get you a change of clothes.", Shoto said between deep breaths, "... and maybe a shower." "That sounds good.", you chuckled and tried your best to not get water all over the floor by standing as still as possible. "Shoto, you know we could've gotten you a driver-", a woman was standing in the hallway, "Oh! You brought a friend with you?" You turned to Shoto, who was looking down at the floor. "You didn't tell anyone?", you whispered to him and since he didn't answer you turned your attention back to the woman, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to intrued." "Oh, not at all! Don't worry about it, I was just not expecting it.", the woman smiled at you and went up to shake your hand, "I'm Fuyumi." "Y/N... it's really nice to meet you and I would shake your hand... but I'm kind of drenched at the moment.", you laughed awkwardly. "Right! I could show you to our bathroom and you could take a quick shower.", she said happily, "And I'm sure Shoto wouldn't mind sharing his clothes with you." "Actually I was thinking maybe she could borrow your clothes...", Shoto interrupted, "... so that they could fit better, you know." Fuyumi looked back and forth between you and Shoto. She narrowed her eyes slightly and it seemed as if something had clicked in her head. As if a lightbulb had turned off, shining light on a mischevious idea. "My clothes are all in the wash, just let her borrow your clothes.", she folded her arms over her chest, "Or do you have a problem with that?" "What? No, I just thought that you're clothes would fit better- and surely all of your clothes can't be in the wash.", Shoto said. "I said what I said.", Fuyumi huffed. "I don't mind, Shoto.", you said softly. Inside you were freaking out, you had never worn his clothes before! That's what cute couples do with one another, and you had barely even kissed yet! "See? She said she doesn't mind. Let's go, sweetie, I'll take you to the bathroom.", she said. You looked back on Shoto with an apologetic smile before following Fuyumi out of the corridor.

You're shower was really quick, considering you felt awkward using their shower products. Fuyumi had put a towel and a nicely folded pile of clothes for you to wear on a little table beside the sink. The towel was surprisingly soft. Together with the warm air of the bathroom you almost didn't want to leave. You looked over at the pile of clothes and instantly you felt intimidated. Shoto's clothes... for you to wear. With careful hands you put on the big hoodie along with the sweatpants. The legs of the sweatpants were too long so you had to roll them up to fit you. After putting on the slippers that were left for you, they were almost as soft as the towel, you made your way out of the bathroom.

Since you didn't know where to go you followed what you thought were Fuyumi's voice, along with another man's voice. When you reached your destination you found yourself in the kitchen. "I'm telling you, they're totally crush-", Fuyumi saw you in the corner of the eye and stopped talking, "Oh! You're done, great!" "Where's Shoto..?", you said a bit awkwardly. "He's in the bathroom.", the man with white hair answered. "Oh... you have two bathrooms?", you said, mostly to yourself. "Come here, I made some tea.", Fuyumi called you over to sit by the table, "And this is Natsuo, my brother." "It's nice to meet you. Shoto doesn't usually bring a lot of people home, it's great to see he's making friends.", he said with a gentle smile. You nodded and sat down by the table, immediately being offered a cup of tea. "The clothes... they're not uncomfortable right?", Fuyumi asked. "Not at all.", you answered and took a sip of the tea, "Thank you so much for letting me borrow your bathroom." "Of course, I couldn't just let you catch a cold.", she smiled. "So is Shoto doing well in school?", Natsuo asked. It almost felt like you were being interrogated. "Yes of course... I mean, you saw the tournament didn't you? He's at the top of our class." "I mean socially." "Oh... well, from what I've seen he's getting more comfortable around everyone.", you thought for a while before adding, "Some people have described him as distant, but I don't see it." "Maybe he's just like that around-", Fuyumi started but got cut off by someone walking into the room. "Y/N.", Shoto said from behind you, "Let's go." You looked over your shoulder and nodded to him. He was wearing an oversized light blue sweater along with a black pair of, what you assumed was, jeans. His hair wasn't damp, it seemed as if he had used a hairdryer, but he still had a towel hung over his shoulder. "Thank you for the tea.", you got up and bowed slightly, "It's been nice to meet you both." "No problem." Fuyumi said and you could feel her eyes on you as you walked away. When you got up to Shoto he didn't start walking like you thought he would. Instead he took the towel off his shoulder and put it over your still damp hair. "I knew you wouldn't dry your hair properly...", he muttered, "What's the point of showering to not get sick if you're gonna leave your hair wet and get cold?" He started ruffling your hair to dry it. Even though it was a sweet gesture, and the towel was very soft and nice, you could still feel Fuyumi watching you. You grabbed Shoto's wrist and, despite your flustered face, tried to look him in the eye. His face also turned red when he realized what he was doing. You heard his siblings snicker to each other, but before you could look Shoto turned you around and started walking in the other direction.

You reached his room and sat down on the nearest surface, which just happened to be on his bed. There you reached up to your head, where the towel was still laying, and just like Shoto had done before - you started drying it by ruffling it around. "If the clothes are too big I can go ask Fuyumi again if you can borrow her clothes. I'm sure all of her clothes can't be in the wash.", Shoto said as he softly looked at you. "She already asked me, actually.", you put the towel around your shoulders and looked up at Shoto, "I don't mind... your clothes are nice." "Ah...", he looked away from you with burning cheeks, "... thank you." "No problem.", you chuckled with a bright smile. When you looked around you noticed a big bookshelf. Curiosity took over and you walked over to it. There were so many books, counting them would possibly take hours. Yet, you took your time skimming through the titles. The wind's twelve quarters, Human acts, The bluest eye... your counting was interrupted when you felt Shoto's eyes on you. When you looked back at him he had a soft, unintelligible, look on his face. "Would you mind reading for me?", you asked and picked out the book right in front of you. "... sure. But I wouldn't recommend that one, the beginning's a bit boring. You'll just fall asleep immediately.", he got up from his place in an armchair. He stood right behind you and reached a bit higher up on the bookshelf. Your eyes studied his hand as it moved from book to book until he found the one he wanted. The Remains of the Day. "Maybe this one?", he asked. "Sure.", you nodded. Though you regret your desicion quickly. Not because you realized it was a bad choice of book. But because as soon as the word slipped out your mouth Shoto backed away. The closest thing to a back hug was gone in a few seconds by the hand of author Kazuo Ishiguro. "Do you want to lie down while we read?", Shoto asked, bringing you out of your thoughts. "Hm? Oh, sure." Shoto layed down on top of the covers of his bed and you followed after him. He was slightly lifted up by his pillows, since reading while laying completely flat would be a bit hard. Unsure of what to do, you sat down beside him instead of laying down. "You can lay here.", he patted on the place next to him. Without saying anything, because you simply couldn't muster a word, you laid down on his arm, right by his shoulder. You were so close to his chest you could hear his heart beating. Slow and rhythmic beats. In comparison, you seemed to have run a marathon. Shoto brought his arm up so that it was wrapped around you and so that he could hold the book with both hands. That meant that you couldn't lay on his arm anymore. By the power of simple anatomy, when he lifted his arm up it was like he was hugging you closer. You were about to roll over, so you put your hand on his shoulder that furthest away from you and put one of your legs over his body. Now you were in a full on cuddling position. His jaw was right next to your forehead and you didn't dare look up. "Are you comfortable?", he asked and you could feel his breath on your face. "... yes.", you muttered out, "Are you?" "I'm good... I should start reading then...", he seemed calm enough, "It seemed increasingly likely that I really..." Distracted by his soft voice, you closed your eyes and let yourself relax fully. Your head ended up in the crook of his neck and now you could really hear his heartbeat. It was way faster than you thought at first, which meant he was more nervous then it seemed. Somehow you found this comforting, and it made you more daring. You nuzzled your face a bit closer to him, which in response he stopped reading. "Is this okay?", you asked carefully, now keeping completely still. "Yeah... it's nice.", he muttered, barely audible. After you hummed in response he kept reading. You started drawing small shaped with the hand that was on his shoulder. He didn't interrupt the story this time so you kept doing it. The sound of his voice, the rhythmic beating of his heart, and the rain smattering against the window made for an

amazing atmosphere. Not to mention the room smelled like him. Comfortingly so. It was enough for you to close your eyes and slowly drift off to sleep. Once Shoto realized that you were no longer awake he carefully put the book away and wrapped his arms around you, closing his eyes as well.

A knock at the door woke you both up. When you realized the position you were in the two of you scrambled to get away from each other. "Yeah?", Shoto said as he was trying to compose himself. You got off the bed and pretended to look at his bookshelf again. The door opened, it was Fuyumi. "Sorry to bother you. I have your clothes, fresh from the dryer, and I just wanted to know if Y/N wants to eat here or not.", she said with a soft smile. "Wait, what time is it?", you asked. "It's already six pm, didn't you know?", she was surprised, "Well I guess time flies." "Oh- I should really get home, I totally forgot the time.", you said and looked back at Shoto. You noticed that his hair was a bit messy and you guessed that yours was as well. By the look in Fuyumi's eyes your guess was correct. She held out a bag with your clothes in it for you to grab. "Here you go.", she smiled brightly. You thanked her and then rushed to the bathroom, leaving Shoto alone with his sister.

When you got back Fuyumi wasn't there anymore. "Thank you for bringing me over... and sorry I fell asleep while you were reading.", you said to Shoto while handing him his clothes. "To be honest I haven't slept that well in a while.", he smiled warmly and put the clothes on his bed. "Really? So... then...", you were hesitant to say it but it was now or never, "... could we do it again?" "... sure.", he nodded.

The two of you made your way to the front door. As you were putting on your shoes you heard footsteps approaching. "It was nice meeting you.", Fuyumi said from further down the hall. "Even if Shoto practically dragged you away from us.", Natsuo added. As you finished tying your shoes and were about to say goodbye but you didn't have time before Shoto grabbed your hand and led you out the door. You heard Fuyumi excitedly gasp and Natsuo mumble "I told you so". Shoto turned around and looked at his siblings. "What? Am I not allowed to hold my girlfriends hand without you making a fuss?", he told them before taking you home, still hand in hand. You could hear Fuyumi and Natsuo talking loudly behind you. If it weren't for the shock you would've been laughing right now. Still, you could only stare at Shoto in awe. "I thought you said you didn't want them to know.", you said after walking for a while. "They would pester me about it if they didn't.", he shrugged, "And I don't see the point in hiding you."

With Aizawa, it sometimes feels like he was intended to be the Batman to All-Mights Superman. But the thing is, even Batman treats his students better then Aizawa does.

This. I do believe that Shota was meant to be the Batman of MHA. Problem is that they strip away all of Batman’s nuance and instead make a bare-bones husk of a character.

Both lost people. However, Batman is a character who constantly learns how to trust people again, how to balance striking fear into his enemies with providing hope for those often ignored by society, and is a character often willing to give people second chances to be something greater (though sometimes he fails at such things as he did with Jason Todd). Yes, a lot of comics do wank Batman off, hence the term Bat-God being thrown around a lot, but those who really understand the character realize that Batman has far more nuance than simply being a detective vigilante. He’s a human who has been hurt, who has hurt people, and is doing his best to make sure no one can be hurt again. The best Batman stories understand this and these stories are why Batman’s such a beloved character to many and such a cultural icon.

Shota loses people too, and as a hero, he does seem to try being better so no one could have to go through the same mistakes he did, but this is contradicted by his actions as a teacher. Whereas Batman turns fear into a tool, Shota is consumed by it, making him irrational in an attempt to “protect” people who aren’t ready to be heroes. His problem however is that unlike Batman who tends to do his research, Shota doesn’t. He canonically doesn’t read his student’s files. He doesn’t teach them shit, and he relies on fear as the only tool when teaching. Batman knows when to be a father and when to be a mentor when it comes to his wards. Shota doesn’t even know how to do the latter. It’s why none of his students trust him. Now, this would’ve all been extremely interesting to tackle in terms of storytelling, with Shota learning to reflect on his decisions and learn how to put faith in his students, but the problem is that the narrative treats him as if he’s right and logical in these regards when he isn’t. With how he handles his trauma and his ideals on how to teach, he shouldn’t be a teacher at U.A. The narrative never calls him out and is constantly praising his outright neglectful and harmful personalities. Expelling a kid on the first day due to some random fitness test in the hopes that it’ll get them to shape up isn’t the way to do your job, especially in a society where your academic transcript means everything.

In conclusion, despite his numerous mistakes he’s made along the way, Batman at least tries to be a better person and offers others the chance to be better too. Meanwhile Shota, despite being meant to serve a similar role, fails at both. He may be a good hero, but he lacks the ability to provide hope and opportunity that most heroes stand for, a big theme in MHA.

Hi I just found your blog and I love it! Could I please have a romantic MHA male matchup?💕 (pronouns: she/her) I would be okay with any heroes / villians / students

I’m 22, I’m a Capricorn sun (cancer moon and libra rising) I have brown eyes and bright pink dyed hair - I love art like drawing and painting, art history, and baking!

I HATE bugs and I cry if one is ever near me lol. Other pet peeves: people walking really slow in front of me, people coughing in public without covering up

I’m very empathetic and always trying to lighten the mood and make people happy. I’m very chill and don’t have problems with anyone (unless they’re rude or mean to me or my friends) I can’t stand people who are rude ignorant. I’m super indecisive and need a lot of validation. A quirk someone gave me once was reality warping (kinda like the scarlet witch) and they said I would have like choatic / trickster type vibes (like loki) and that’s my dream quirk.

I’m b l i n d so always wearing my glasses haha also I love having a sense of humor. I also have anxiety and can be way too emotional sometimes. I’m an ENFP & also I love tie dye clothes, makeup, and everything pastel.

Sorry if this is way too much !!! thank you sm :)

​🎃MHA Spooky Special🎃

Request: “Baby YPH watching Shiggy playing scary games and they get scared,, so Shiggy comforts them 😭 that’ll be so cute” [Anonymous]

Pairing: Platonc!Shigaraki x Baby!Reader

Notes: Hope this is okay with how it turned out. Thanks for participating!

~~~

The sound of rapid footsteps, followed by deep steady ones, trailing down the hallway alerted Shigaraki to your return. He glanced down at the time at the bottom of his computer screen. 10:48. You had been out trick or treating for almost three hours. Shigaraki swiveled around in his chair at the creaking sound of his door being opened, eyes falling onto you standing excitedly in front of a worn-out looking Dabi.

“Well, that lasted longer than I thought it would,” Shigaraki stated casually, eyeing the man in front of him as you made your way over.

“No one in this godforsaken neighborhood was giving out candy. Tried to take them to a convenient store to buy some, and the kid damn well near had a fit, talking about, ‘that’s no fun’.” Dabi mocked in an annoyed tone, “so we had to walk to the next one over. And when we got there, the runt was dead set on hitting every house in the entire fucking neighborhood. I had at least fifty kids come up to me complimenting me on my ‘costume’ and ‘makeup’. All this for some lousy fucking candy I coulda bought on a corner store.”

Shigaraki looked down as you jumped up and down, happily waving your plastic, candy-filled, jack o’ lantern in front of him. 

“Watch the runt while I shower the stench of those fucking kids off of me, will ya,” Dabi stated, not even waiting for a response as he shut the door behind him.

Shigaraki stared blankly at the now-closed door, still processing the fact that you were just left here with him before you lightly began shaking your candy to grab his attention.

“What?” He questioned irritatedly

“Want some?”

“No.”

With that, he quickly turned his attention back to his computer and began continuing on with his game. It was a new Horror game that had just come out for Halloween, and he hadn’t had as much time to play it as he would have liked, and getting stuck babysitting you definitely wasn’t helping.

‘Burnt asshole’, he muttered under his breath as you glanced up, confused. 

“Big brother, Shiggy?”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Can I watch you play?” You continued on, ignoring his statement at your nickname. “I promise I’ll be quiet… and you can have as much of my candy as you want!”

Shigaraki rolled his eyes. “I already told you I don’t want any.” However, now that he thought about it, maybe this was a good middle ground. Especially since it meant he would get to continue playing, and you agreeing to keep quiet was definitely an added bonus.

“...fine. Just don’t talk.” He agreed, unpausing his game and continuing where he left off. He wasn’t even playing for ten seconds before a tugging on his pants had him pausing the game and looking down at you with a frustrated growl.

You stood not saying a word, arms extended out to him, silently asking for him to lift you.

“Why?”

“I can’t see from down here.”

With a loud groan and some quiet mumbles to himself that you didn’t catch, he lifted you into his arms and sat you in his lap facing forward without any further protest. Once you were settled, he unpaused his game and continued again. He was on a roll, viciously killing zombie after zombie, leaving nothing but a gory trail behind him as he trekked on. He was so deeply invested in finding the hideout, that he didn’t even realize how scared you were, small eyes glued to the screen as you couldn’t help but jump with every gunshot that sounded.

You couldn’t take it anymore, deciding it better to hide behind your own hands, which shot up in an attempt to shield your eyes from witnessing anymore. You felt terrified. As if the monsters from the screen were going to come out and grab you. The fear leaving you feeling helpless, as tears began streaming down your face.

The sound of your sniffling grabbed the attention of the Shigaraki, who peaked down at you, only to be left more confused seeing the state you were in.

“What the hell is wrong with you now, brat?” 

“I-I’m s-scared.” You hiccuped between sobs.

“What do you mean you’re scared? It’s just a game.” Shigaraki tried to reason, but you were having none of it. Continuing to sob into his chest. He awkwardly patted your head in an attempt to comfort you and get you to stop crying. His gloved fingers gliding gently down your head and back. He was completely stiff, but you seemed to loosen up a bit, finding his efforts to be effective in calming you down. 

He lifted the both of you up, and powered off his computer. “Guess I won’t get to finish that tonight. Whatever, it’s later than you should be up anyway. Just go to bed.”

“B-but I don’t wanna sleep.”

“You don’t wanna sleep. You don’t wanna play games. Is there anything you do want to do?”

It was intended to be a rhetorical question, but you still answered with a small shrug of your shoulders, eye’s lowering to the ground in guilt. You felt bad that he couldn’t play his game because of you. You felt like you were being a burden, and wanted to try to fix it.

“You can play if you want to. I’m not afraid anymore, so it’s okay,” you tried lying. Shigaraki didn’t buy it. He knew you were still afraid, and the last thing he wanted was you whimpering in his arms while he was trying to win. It would be completely distracting, there’s no way he would be able to focus.

“It was a boring game anyway,” He lied back, “I’ll just put on a movie instead. You just better not start crying this time.”

He placed you in front of the broken down tv as he went to start fiddling with the buttons. While flicking through the channels, he found one that caught your attention. It looked god awful to him, but you looked excited regardless of the downright creepy looking characters it had in it.

“Please, big brother, Shiggy? Please, can we watch Scary Godmother?”

If it shut you up, and finally got you to stop crying, then he would sit through the dumb-looking kids movie. He turned up the volume a tad, and took a seat on the floor next to you, where you began scooting closer. Tiny legs bouncing excitedly off the floor as the movie began playing. 

Somewhere about an hour in, the both of you started dozing off. Shigaraki would have fallen asleep completely would it not have been for the creaking of his door waking him up, and an amused Dabi standing over him.

“Really? ‘Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktacular’” Dabi quoted off the screen, trying his best to hold back his laughs in an attempt to not wake you.

“The knob was broken! Would you just shut the fuck up and take the brat? Or do you want to take another two-hour shower?” Shigaraki questioned sarcastically in a hushed tone. He knew with all the candy you had eaten earlier, it would probably be a complete pain in the ass to have to put you back to sleep again.

Dabi looked down at you sleeping peacefully against the seething man. With you by his side, Shigaraki didn’t look nearly as intimidating as he normally does. He actually looked pretty innocent. Dabi didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the man in his vulnerable state.

“Nah, the two of you look pretty comfortable. Plus it’d be nice to have my bed back for the night.”

“Quit fucking around!” Shigaraki shouted, only to be shushed by Dabi who motioned down to you. You stirred slightly at the loud noise, but Shigaraki began frantically rubbing your back, soothing you back to sleep so you didn’t wake up completely.

“Well, that was a close one. It’d be a real shame if you woke ‘em. If I were you, I’d be more careful next time,” Dabi chuckled on his way out the door. Completely ignoring the whispered shouts of the man on the floor.

Tomorrow he would have to pay the price, but tonight?... He was going to go get the rest of the league to come take a look at their ‘big bad boss’.

[loosesodamarble]

For the ask game, how about A, D, and O please Erika 🥰? Thank you 💕~!

Hello Lyra! I see you have a few questions for me so let me answer them for you~!

……….

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Nacht and Finral should be a thing. As friends or in a romantic sense. They’re the ones in the squad who go “y’all are crazy.” But while Finral says “y’all are crazy (fearful and confused), Nacht says “y’all are crazy” (irked and tired). Also their big brother hang ups are very different and I would like seeing that explored. (Not in canon though because I fear Tabata wouldn’t do it justice. 😅)

Honestly, I think I need to see Nero and Zora teaming up. Their heroic moment in that recent arc was out of nowhere but like… They both roast Asta, like to chill in trees, are just kinda there without getting much attention so like… let’s see them vibing as friends.

Outside of Black Clover, I think I’d want to see some more Mitsuri and Muichirou friendship/sibling interactions. Maybe it’s my brain rotting while I wait for the next season of the anime but like… they’re the friendliest Pillars (though Mui is exclusively friendly to Tanjirou 😆) so seeing them be friendly to each other would be cute to me.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Izuku x Ochaco from MHA. My sister likes that ship and I know it’s the endgame but I just can’t see it. Izuku is too disinterested in romance and I think the early interactions between Ochaco and Tenya are much cuter and their poor girl x rich boy dynamic is fun.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

“Will-O-Wisp” by Kenshi Yonezu (dang it can I not shut up about the man?!/j).

It’s a song that he wrote based on the fairy tale The Town Musicians of Bremen. So you would think that it would be a Nacht song. But no! Looking at the lyrics I see it more as a song for the Black Bulls as a whole.

(This is now the second time Yonezu has a song that sounds like it should fit one character but instead is better suited to another.

Not really a singular character or ship but the squad itself is kind of a character I guess.
