Touya and this cat that wouldn't stop following him around. 🍂

What’s bothering you, young Toya?

“Hey… can you help me with my hair? You seem… to be really good with that kinda of stuff”

[reineydraws]

had to draw this to understand the way i feel about him now that the manga's ended. 🥲 on that note: if you like hawks and his ending, maybe don't read my tags lol. it's not bashing (imo) but they're not v nice. 😅

bg + unobstructed pose under the cut!

his expression's a lil different 'cuz i only changed the merged layer, all the lighting effects already flattened onto it. 💀 alas.

toya and his siblings

[willowser]

you know, the thing that i think is so endearing and also heartbreaking about prince touya is that he tries so hard to be the crown prince his father wants him to be and feels the full weight of his future on his shoulders while also still managing to lose out to shouto, somehow, and when his marriage has been arranged and he's sacrificed another sliver of his life for the sake of the todoroki rule—he's just not expecting you to really care about him at all. and when you do, it is just so disarming for him.

headcanon that shoto has never called endeavor dad because by the time he was learning to speak, touya and natsuo had already started calling him enji and endeavor instead and were trying to convince fuyumi to do the same

endeavor's still bitter about it

The same phrase that All Might said to Nighteye to sever their connection was the same one that Izuku used to try to bridge the gap between himself and All Might.

"I am here!" The phrase All Might declares whenever he enters the scene with a smile and saves the day. But this "I am here" to Nighteye was a goodbye. He adopted this phrase from Shimura Nana, who also chose the world over any other person including her son and All Might himself. In her last fight with All for One, young All Might most likely would have chosen her life over the world, but she did not allow that. She and Gran Torino made the decision for him to choose saving the world by preserving One for All/All Might's future. And All Might made the same decision here with Sir Nighteye in this flashback.

Sir Nighteye, when you get to the root of it, was stating that he would choose All Might over the world. All Might refused to accept that and shut out Nighteye because he would choose the world over himself any day. Izuku in this moment was declaring he will choose the world and All Might - that he would save All Might by fulfilling the role of being the successor of the Symbol of Peace. But on a smaller, more interpersonal level, Izuku was pleading for his mentor/father figure to stay to watch him and his growth as a hero.

The Sekoto Peak Tournament

It’s kinda funny how My Hero Academia is pretty much told through the lens of Midoriya’s perspective to the point where all other professions that have a fan following:  athletes, actors, singers, etc. just go completely by the wayside.  Just once, it would have been great to have Kirishima or someone mention a household name and Midoriya’s all, “…..?”

“Y’know, [insert name here?]  Legendary boxing champion?”

My point is, other professions outside of hero still exist and are probably just as popular as they’ve always been, so here’s the ‘Young Rei used to snowboard competitively’ headcanon.  This started as a piece I did for Inktober with a, ‘Rei’s a refridgerated character.  Don’t love that,’ attitude.   Because aside from finally making an attempt to fight for her family (a little late, sure, but I’m not here to do a character analysis right now,) Rei doesn’t have much characterization beyond being the victimized mother in Shouto’s story.

So two things to consider:

1.) Snowboarding is a high-intensity activity.  High intensity activities are known to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.  So Rei having this career before marriage (and possibly a little after) would have had a very positive impact on her mental health.  But after having four children, something this intense would be difficult to restart and being in her late twenties when Natsuo and Shouto were born, her professional career would have been effectively over.  Being cut off from snowboarding and its mental health benefits would have definitely contributed to her downward spiral in a more significant way than if she had never done it.  In its own way, this is also a reflection of Touya having all his energy and ambition and nowhere to put it, contributing to his own mental break.

2.) In both my Inktober post and this piece, Rei won gold and she’s wearing a different jacket, showing these were separate competitions.  Winning gold wasn’t a one-off moment; she was relatively successful and that may have served as some unspoken tension/resentment between her and Endeavor if she was one of the top competitors in her profession while her husband never made it past second place until over two decades into his.

I like the idea of this background for her.  I want to explore it further possibly as a one-shot, but I have a lot of ongoing projects right now (plus I’d need to do a little more research on how professional snowboarding competitions work,) so it’s a little up in the air whether or not an actual fic will happen.  For now, I hope you enjoy the artwork.

…

I also referenced Touya’s freaky smile for these, albeit not quite as intense.  He got that from someone, and my money is on Mom.  Mostly because I am entertained by the idea of a much younger Rei rocketing down a mountainside and terrifying other snowboarders with the same ecstatic, unhinged smile her son has.  And that footage probably exists online somewhere, someone in Class 1A is going to find it, and be all,  “Uh, Todoroki, I think I found a video of your mom.”

…

And just in case anyone asks:  Yes, that is Korra in the back.  I like to sneak crossover cameos into both my fanart and fanfics, and when thinking of characters, I remembered a behind the scenes LOK fact that Korra’s character design was partially inspired by female snowboarders.

The third snowboarder is also a cameo from a more obscure, nostalgia cartoon:  Suzy Lu from Storm Hawks.

"man, why does jason and bruce's relationship compel me" *remembers touya and enji* "oh"

They're her entire world.

What if everyone was bald in mha and the name is my bald academia. All Might, instead of saying, "I will save people with a smile!" He says,"I will save people with my shiny head!"

How would Dabi react to reader coming home after a bad day and they’re in a sour mood?

dabi x fem!reader

he would first of all ask you what happened for you to be in such a mood, listening carefully to you rant about what made you so upset that your body was trembling and then mutter a low: “that must’ve been rough.” to which you simply nod sighing, then he nudges at your arm with his elbow to make you turn toward him. “i think you did amazing though and knowing you i’m sure you’ll make it.”, when you ask him how is he so sure dabi looks you straight in the eyes and replies “because i believe in you.”, which takes you by surprise, but he was confident in his words because he more than anyone else knew how hard and painful it can be to try reach your goals when no one believes in you and that you can do it. seeing you like that had brought a forgotten pain into his chest, even though he didn’t let it show, so... he wanted to tell, you the only person that now believes in him, that he too believes in you and your capabilities.

when he saw your eyes light up and shoulders relax, his lips curled in a relieved smile that he covered right away with a fake cough when your eyes darted up to him, but you had caught it and smiled thankfully at your boyfriend.

few seconds of comfortable silence passed until he didn’t turn to you completely serious. “want me to burn somethin’ for you? maybe you’ll feel better.” “dabi... no...”

every single day i think about the influence touya would have had on shouto as an older brother.

he has to take him everywhere he goes, so they're always jamming to the same hardcore music in touya's shitty car. shouto, obviously, develops a taste for the same bands, same songs. shouto is also in the ride-along to buy cigarettes and beer at midnight, and touya threatens his whole entire life if he tells rei, but shouto would never because he likes going too much.

shouto 100% would attempt to kick the ass of anyone that talked shit to his brother. little string bean, doesn't matter, this little boy is throwing HANDS for touya, and touya very much has the attitude of "no one can fuck with my little brother but me". whenever shouto gets in trouble for doing something he shouldn't be doing, touya is always taking the fall for him, no questions asked. shouto lies for touya like it's second nature.

shouto wants an earring because of touya, and touya probably GIVES the piercing to him, which makes enji blow a gasket. touya learns to play the drums and then shouto wants to, too — though he ends up being better than touya and touya promptly quits after that. touya teaches him to drive. shouto gets drunk for the first time with touya BECAUSE touya wants to be there to take care of him. they hate each other, they get into fist fights all the time, rolling around the house as fuyumi screams at both of them. they're best friends. they understand each other more than anyone else ever could.
