Touya fans scare the shit out of me

I love that him and I love the fandom's interpretations of him. I think he's arguably one of the most interesting characters in mha. But his fans get so defensive over him it scares me.

"If you take care of everyone else, then who takes care of you?"

I think this applies to both Fuyumi and Shouto.

Fuyumi at her core tries to take care of Shouto. She loves her dad but Shouto is the one who is getting the brunt of everything. She deals with Endeavor because she knows things will get worse for Shouto and their family is she isn't perfect.

Meanwhile, Shouto tries to take care of Fuyumi and Rei. He deals with Endeavor because he probably doesn't want Fuyumi getting hurt, just like how he protected Rei when he could as a child. His own sense of self is skewed by the dehumanization he went through, so he doesn't take care of himself either.

I like to think that Fuyumi and Shouto try to take care of each other all the while missing the fact that they both deserve the care they refuse to accept.

Although izuku will definitely ask to train, randomly insisting on fighting is katsuki's thing. So when katsuki is woken up in the middle of the night to izuku demanding him to fight, katsuki already knows. The walk to the training ground is silent. They fight in the same mock street they used in first year.

Izuku uses the last of his embers playing hero with his best friend. It's a night that ends in tears.

A night that also ends in aizawa and all might coming to get them after a while, because they also just know. Coming back to the third year dorms everybody's awake and there's breakfast set out to pick at. There's more tears. It still hasn't been said yet. The entire third year heroic course skips the day, as class b joins later in the still early hours. (They take a extended weekend, the school has no grounds to punish them for this, they sent those kids to war after all.)

Those kids pile in the common room. With izuku in the center, katsuki on his left. Matching scars and matching fucked up hands and all. Towards the end of their break everyone's laughing between the tears. A few toasts have been made, and everyone's ready to change the future. It still hasn't been said.

Midoryia Izuku retires as a professional hero before graduating. His dream dies before ever really starting.

While on medical/mental health leave from physical training, he checks out the younger years. He offers tutoring after the school day, which always end in with hand-to-hand combat practice. Katsuki's already asked, all might and his mother question him at dinner one night, tenya and uraraka open up the conversation, he can't bring himself to answer. It hasn't been said.

What will he do now? What can he do, if he's not a hero like all might?

Midoryia Izuku still graduates at the top of the hero class. He helps all his classmates continue training, helps them set up agencies, tutors kids in quirk control back at UA.

His first official offer is a job with the new program of quirk acceptance, that helps little kids get a handle on dangerous abilities and gets everyone the help needed when facing discrimination.

The second offer is all might and nedzu insisting he take on a more permanent position as a homeroom teacher in the heroics department.

The third offer puts a professional title on everything he's done since childhood. He's the most sought after quirk analyst, often called in for opinions on team building or new villains.

He's busy. But it's better this way and better than any alternative.

The fourth and final life changing offer given to him, is in the form of the super suit katsuki gives him. He's taken on a few too many "sidekick" jobs, or analysis jobs, and honestly some house calls for kids with put of control quirks get messy. He's been back to being happy for a while.

But after his first shift? It's different, his eyes are lit up and bright. A smile that's not cracking. He's exhausted, but so ready to wake up and go again. This night? It ends with many UA alumni, piled into izuku's apartment in celebration of a dream coming back to life. Many more friends slipped in later to join the sleepover.

That next morning starts with aizawa, and all might, stumbling into an impromptu alumni reunion. To congratulate their lifelong student and colleague. Toasts are made with mixed match hero coffee cups, everybody's ready to go back to changing the future.

The most painful part of Shoto Todoroki as a character is that I think if he could stop himself from being born, he would do it without hesitation.

What if his father found out about Touya having both his mother’s ice and his fire before he was born? Would his mother have been happier? Would she have never been sent away? Would Touya have been happier? Would he have never become a villain? Would his father have been satisfied? Would Fuyumi and Natsuo have been valued?

I think it’s easy for him to see himself as less than human sometimes. Just a byproduct of multiple experiments — finally a perfect doll with no defects. His actions during the beginning of UA and the sports festival were a direct protest of that role.

“Look at me father. Look at this faulty doll that you made.”

It was better to be faulty with defects because that meant that he was human.

I think he stares into the mirror at the scar on his face. I think he’s grateful for it. It was from his mother. Her misshapen stitching — a marring feature on an otherwise perfect merchandise.

He is the perfect split of his mother and father, so he finds that it’s the easiest to lay the blame on himself rather than any of his other siblings. He’d encourage it if he could. While everyone else is their own person, an adaptation of a recipe of their parents, you can see each half of him plainly.

He might be his mother’s son but he is also his father’s.

It’s why the dream of a perfect future doesn’t have him in it. He is the very evidence of his father’s wrongdoings.

A perfect future can’t have him in it.

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

My Hero Academia AU: Bad Day

A short comic for the Ambush Simulation AU.

I have a confession: I don’t like really Sherlock. I mean, I don't hate it...but there are other Holmes adaptations that I like better. The cigarette scene does make me laugh though, so I wanted to do a parody.

...

Touya throwing Fuyumi under the bus and destroying the evidence. Bitch.

As far as the Ambush Simulation AU is concerned, I do try to write everyone in character as best I can, but I do want to note that Touya and Fuyumi's individual influences on each other does tweak their canon personalities a bit. In Fuyumi's mind, Touya's going to do what he's going to do, she can't stop him, so her compromise is making sure he knows home is still a safe place and laying down the boundaries he is not allowed to cross. As a result of keeping Touya somewhat grounded, she is less passive than she is canon. In Touya's case, Fuyumi is the only family member he actually listens to without antagonizing every second of the day. His 'fuck around and find out' attitude often comes to a screeching halt with his sister.

As we can clearly see here. Sometimes the bond between siblings is about being supportive, and sometimes it's about giving your brother the butt-kicking he deserves.

...

I have seen so many fanarts of Dabi smoking that during the time I fell out of the fandom, I legitimately forgot that he doesn't canonically smoke. For the record, neither of the siblings do in this particular AU. I like to imagine this all started with Fuyumi stomping her way into the house and telling Touya that she needed a cigarette. Doesn't even say hello.

And he just looks at her and says, "Okay, you look pissed, so I'm not even going to pretend I don't have any."

...

I also want to make note of this: When you draw one person in a heavy winter coat/scarf, everyone else in the same environment should be dressed accordingly. But between the fire and the ice resistance, I'm not sure Touya's even capable of feeling cold, hence the lighter jacket. And with the scarring/skin grafts, he probably doesn't regulate body temperature particularly well.

Also, Fuyumi is wearing their mom's scarf.

Canon conversation between teacher Izuku and Aizawa.

Izuku, distraught: "Aizawa, how you stop your students from using slang?"

Aizawa, already done with this conversation: "What are they saying this time?"

Izuku: "Skibidi munting."

Aizawa, sighing: "You can't do anything, they'll tire themselves out eventually."
