counterpoint: nobody fucking cares. villain deku aus aren’t hurting anyone. so fucking what if the au isn’t totally “in character”? that’s why it’s an alternate universe! there is no reason that an au version of izuku should have to directly line up with izuku's character, otherwise it’d just be canon. villain deku might be a bit of a power fantasy, but that’s fine! self-indulgence is right at the core of fandom. so indulge. if izuku dropping tacky one-liners and wearing a corny suit makes you happy, then go right the fuck ahead and enjoy it.
i…do not like villain deku aus, for reasons that have been elaborated on by other people. a frequent defense of villain deku content is that there are logical ways to push izuku into becoming a villain. i’m sure there’s some way to do villain deku in a way that properly takes izuku’s motivations and core character into account, but is it really worth the amount of hurdles you would have to jump through to do it? not to mention that a greater chunk of the villain deku content that actually exist is just…a gigantic power fantasy. i understand why people wish to explore the villain deku au. i understand why there’s so much content for it. but before discussing that, i’d like to look into the common motivators used to explain why izuku becomes a villain, and the reasons that i personally believe that they’re pretty inaccurate to his character.

#*snipes 16 year old me*#let's be real#i would not have had the knowledge to write this extremely long essay if i hadn't read millions of words worth of villain deku fanfic#and regularly kept up with villain deku amvs on youtube#and yes. 'millions of words' is not an exaggeration at all#i probably read the majority of villain deku longfic that existed back in 2018#i fucking loved villain deku even when i wrote this essay lmfao#corny suit and all#it's rly weird to be returning to this dead blog years after i wrote this post but i am still extremely bothered that i ever wrote this

y’know. the bnha fandom might be awful towards inko but it’s got nothing on the marvel fandom when it comes to being shitty to the mother figures of main characters in order to further dad-son dynamics when they do not quite exist
#mine#yes i am talking about aunt may#like u can have ur irondad and ur dadmight but there is no reason#to destroy the good parental relationships these kids do have#there's already enough shitty parents out there don't take away the ones that actually do it right#It Is Possible To Have Multiple Good Parental Figures#like. i can't personally relate but part of the appeal of fiction is the idea that#we can retreat to a world where that sort of thing is more common#these dad-son dynamics honestly run contrary to canon and it doesn't rly appeal to me personally but#idk#i'm not gonna rag on u for having fun with a piece of media and going against canon in fandom cuz#what the fuck is fandom for if not to go against canon#projecting good parental dynamics onto fiction can be like. woohoo good feelings#and hell if i'm gonna stop someone from being happy#but. does it have to be at the expense of characters like aunt may and inko#wow that was more thoughts than expected#also as u can see i have shifted away from criticizing things for being ooc and more. criticizing fandom behaviors that can. be damaging#like ik i wrote 3k words of meta on how villain deku is ooc as shit but#at this point have fun with it i get why you might like it#but the moment u start being ableist af with it is when i'm gonna start telling u to shut the fuck up#WOW that was a LOT of thoughts

i just put a post in queue and now i’m deeply regretting my tagging system cuz i use a rly weird mesh of nicknames, last names, first names, short names, and jokes as character tags with no consistent way to select character tags what the fuck was i thinking
like sure i remembered it before but now it’s been months since i last used that system and i don’t??? remember shit?

considering revamping this blog mostly bc i rly wanna revisit four past two (my vigilante deku fanfic) instead of just abandoning it before we even got to the meat of the story and. this blog was always meant primarily for four past two.
if i use this blog again it’ll be a lot less reblogging cuz i don’t have the energy to follow bnha blogs again and tbqfh i only care abt my own interactions with bnha these days lmaooo i’ve been too busy fixating on a decade old 550k word long pokemon fanfic to give bnha genuine attention
