Okie this is the design I've settled with, I literally threw this together in like thirty minutes and jotted down the general idea i have for her quirk but I have a different sheet where I'm going more in depth which I will also post once its completed

Also here's my other post where I express my first impression of My hero Academia and introduce the overall concept I have for Wakana

P E O P L E

After literal YEARS of actively avoiding everything My Hero Academia related like the plague I've finally decided to get back into it, mind you I only got as far as the fourth episode when it first came out like WAAAAY back when I was in 5th or 6th grade, and just when my interest was blooming, the earlier fandom had me running for the hills in terror--but HOLY SHIT this show is so much better than I ever could've imagined (personally I think Tsuyu is my favorite when it comes to the 1A class, her quirk is adorable and I love her design. Mineta can die though, but I'm not even offended by the fact that he exists, there's always gotta be that one freaking character)

It's so freaking good--I've finished the first season in two days and I'm about to finish the second, I literally haven't been this hooked on an anime since Bungou Stray Dogs and Demon Slayer. I've always been extremely picky with anime, and for good reason considering the kind of freaky and distasteful shit you can easily stumble upon if you give the wrong anime a chance (*cough* sister and brother romances and anime that constantly sexualizes the women to an unbearable and baffling extent *cough*), however just a few episodes in and I just KNEWWWWWW that I had struck gold. I never would've thought it would be with the anime that's been given such a bad name due to the cesspool of controversy surrounding it's foul community, and although I've heard it's cooled down since the older days, the OG creeps still left a stain that I think will forever tarnish the image of the fandom.

That genuinely pisses me off though because the down bad freaks who were doing the cringy ass Deku and Bakugou cosplays on tiktok and all that weird shit really had me thinking that the anime itself had little to offer in terms of story and quality and people were just senselessly raving about the characters, the "ships", and the overall concept of a Hero and Villain society--you all know how people eat that shit up.

I'm honestly just embarrassed I let a few nutcases spoil my experience when it came to the anime, now I feel like I'm late to the party. I'm catching up real quick now though since I gotta wait for more Demon Slayer and I'm also tryna get myself back into a collection of shows/anime I began but never finished. No joke, I was so freaking starstruck by the first season that I literally wrote and created an ENTIRE My hero academia character on the fly which I have NEVER DONE in my entire life despite being an artists, that's how mesmerized I was not just with the concept but the nuance and themes the series had to offer as a whole which are two things I ADORE in media and in my own work.

The crazy fucking thing is, the character I wrote ended up being eerily similar to Stain before I even knew the bastard existed--that just speaks volumes about my style of writing and the kind of characters that appeal to me lmao. Real shit though, Stain kinda had a point when he said that heroes should be about self-sacrifice not the compensations--maybe it's a bit of a hot take, I'm still on the second season after all I don't know if dude is gonna make a comeback or how the ideology will play a part later in the series, but seriously what the fuck does the fame or money matter in the longrun when you are saving innocents on a scale that could never be accomplished before, like obviously ya gotta make a living for yourself some how no matter the profession you specialize in (especially if you desire the money, for example, for more or less noble, personal reasons), but at the end of the day, isn't the value of your existence, the entire crux of your purpose securing the welfare and safety of the people? Compensation should be the mirth of excelling at your job, no if ands or buts about it. When all is said and done, fame and money should be completely and utterly secondary to every person who valiantly (or recklessly) wears the burden of being a hero and yet in the My Hero Academia society it's evident that there are some heroes who function with an ulterior motive, bathe in the laudation greedily, exploit their influence (perhaps not always in widely significant ways, but in ways that are still enough to demonstrate some unscrupulous morals under those duplicitous smokescreens of goodness), and have an insatiable lust for power and the idea of being championed as a protector nationwide (aka. therefore, harboring something of a superman or God complex). The second money and fame enters the picture, there will always corruption and greed--that's just the faults of the human nature.

Okay maybe I'm thinking too deeply...but then again, that is my specialty. Regardless, the fact that a character like Stain exists makes me love my character and my ideas for her even more and I WILL continue with fleshing her out on my free time-I freaking go crazy when I see vigilantes in fiction, it's always a thrill to see why they do what they do or believe in what they do

Also, just to throw it out there--Shigaraki is so freaking fine holy moly. I remember a real long time ago when MHA was at its height I saw a picture of his character and I can only describe the look on my face as this

I genuinely dunno what it is, it's gotta be a combination of his voice and weirdness--it's so cute, and honestly he reminds me of Gyutaro from demon slayer in a strange way (ya'll don't judge me, I love the weirdos). In general tho, I really like him as a threat

I've successfully found my new hyper fixation, and to leave this off here's a lovely pic of my husband 🥰

EDIT: LMAOA omg I forgot to mention I'm LITERALLY not even freaking joking when I said that my character is EERILY similar to Stain--his quirk name is called Bloodcurdle and the name she goes by is Bloodshed, like holy frick that is just crazy to me
