#Inko is a menace in this

[grimmcheems]

Inko au I came up with yrs ago….

AU where bakugou’s actions have consequences lmao. I only remember coming up with this yrs ago after thinking through all the terrible stuff Bakugou put Izuku through and it was more of a “what if” scenario, was even planning to write a fic with this concept in mind but never got to it and lost all my motivation to do so, especially with all the spoilers I’ve been getting about the series recently. I have not read the manga past Aoyama’s reveal and I think I’m going to keep it that way.

…..just realized I never added her freckles…..pretend you don’t see it……..

Will forever be a Bakugou hater and I will die on this hill. Also whole convo ppl are having about Aoyama rly peeves me when I take Iida’s past actions into account and the fact that there’s way worse people in the series yet ppl suddenly have so much to say when it comes to my bby Aoyama. That’s a conversation for another day though sigh.

Anyways. In this au Izuku’s low self esteem and inner demons win and, along with Bakugou ‘s relentless bullying, lead him to take his (Bakugou’s) earlier suggestion about the rooftop and it quickly becomes the worst case scenario. Let’s just say he doesn’t make it and Inko is left to mourn and try to piece together why it happened and what caused it. She eventually figures out that Bakugou had a hand in it and eventually she gains the resolve to cultivate a plan for revenge, not just for herself but for Izuku as well. She’s especially angry after finding out Bakugou is accepted into UA and it’s no longer just about getting revenge against him, but also holding society accountable for the way they treat quirkless people in general. It also delves deeper into the quirk aspect after she meets Toga and Spinner, as well as everyone else in the league or other villains that she meets that were more so driven out and mistreated because of their quirks (like Dabi).

Other than that, Aizawa also gets involved (idk why but he always makes his way into being a main character for my mha aus). Idk how much more to include on him since idk if I’ll be making some sketches or more art over this but he does become pissed once he finds out about Bakugou’s bad reputation before enrolling.

I added some silly stuff in between the serious parts. She does end up training her quirk and I do plan on making some sketches at least of that happening and she is also a caretaker alongside Kurogiri.

I'm here with more DFO propaganda 🙌

I wholeheartedly believe that Izuku was the kid to escape afos grip and greet every stranger he saw

Baby izu: *runs to greet a rando. Hi, my names Izuku!

Afo:*sprinting after him shouting, Ducky, what have we said about stranger danger!!!

It's super ironic, I know 🤣

Every single parent teacher conference AFO has attended, he ended up traumatizing the teacher, so inko decided to dress him in big, cuddly sweaters to make him less intimidating. Cut to AFO sweating in his itchy sweater, trying not to pop the teachers head like a zit as they talk about Izukus B on his math test.

His son doesn't deserve a B because he's perfect in every single way. His ducky does no wrong.

But while we're on the topic of school, I fully endorse the idea that AFO was forced to sit in those tiny chairs for kids while meeting with Izukus preschool teacher. It's happened, Inko probably took video proof only for the photo to miraculously disappear the next day.

Oh, and he WAS a PTA parent, For sure, he attended every board meeting and had beef with a woman named Denis.

I do believe that being centuries old can get boring, and AFO not just collected companies but different job titles as well. Yes, he went to medical school. Yes, he went to law school. Yes, he owns a toy company known for its all might figures. And yes, he has to do a physical examination of Izuku every time he sees him, checks his eyes and his teeth, scolds him for not sleeping enough, and complains that he doesn't eat enough either. IZUKU IS TIRED, he's so used to ignoring his own wellbeing because he doesn't view it as important, and here comes AFO like a bull in a China shop, screaming about how Izuku hasn't eaten in 5 hours.

Afo has a storage quirk, and despite what everyone thinks, it doesn't hold torture devices or dead bodies. No, it holds snacks and water bottles because Izuku can't take care of himself.

He's a menace to everyone, and in everything, it only makes sense he's a menace with his family. 😌

[gentrychild]

Anyone AU where Inko was secretly stealing assets and goods from his husband in case of… stuff. This proves wise thought after Hisashi vanished from earth.

You know, usually, I would sight and explain to you that I don't like this kind of prompt because Izuku creating Anyone is strictly because he didn't have money after his father disappeared. Inko needed to take a work that left Izuku alone so he could have the space and the incentive to become a villain. However, I, for once, have an idea.

1 - Inko watched her husband becoming more and more distant and lying to her about his business trips and she saw the writing on the wall: he was seeing someone and was about to abandon Izuku and her and leave them destitute. So she sto- claimed! Yes, we're going to say that. She claimed some assets from him! About 90% of him. AFO was in the middle of trying to find out who was stealing all of his assets when All Might sneaked up on him. He kept himself busy in Tartarus trying to find out who dared to steal the money meant for his adorable son and his beautiful wife... and for his criminal empire. Seriously, that was a lot of money.

2 - Izuku doesn't get bullied because he is filthy rich but he still faces some discrimination because he is still quirkless and people don't like his attitude. He goes to great school, meets Aoyama there, and he probably meets Shouto at a hero gala (Shouto was trying to avoid his father and Izuku was busy stuffing his mouth full of shrimps). Alas, Aoyama mentions to Izuku that a terrifying man gave him a quirk and how he had nightmares about him for years and fears that man coming back.

3 - All that Izuku hears is that somewhere, there is a man who can give him a quirk. (The only thing his money cannot buy!) Izuku wants a quirk. Izuku breaks into Tartarus to get a quirk. Now, most people would try to convince the multiquirked fiend to make a deal but Izuku, either because he recognizes this man as his dad on a subconscious level or because he just has no sense, believes in the simple concept of quirk pinata. He gets twelve quirks out of a very confuses and very insulted AFO this way.

4 - Now, of course, this leads to AFO escaping Tartarus and All Might being very interested in the green menace that somehow broke in then broke out the most secure prison in Japan. Now, Izuku is found quickly in this AU, but since he has the Hell Lawyer on his payroll, he doesn't get in trouble because he just revealed that the HPSC had lied to All Might about AFO's demise. Izuku's heroic endeavor in exposing the corruption of society should be rewarded, not punished.

5 - Since Izuku has just broken into Tartarus and beat some quirks out of AFO and got away with it alive, All Might and Nedzu are tripping each other to get the kid as a successor. They reach a compromise by making Izuku enroll into UA. Izuku is overjoyed to be studying in All Might's alma matter with his good friend Shouto (who is begging him to calm down) and Yuuga (who is crying because he thought his chaotic friend wouldn't follow him to his high school).

+ 1 - All Might moves in with Inko and Izuku because he needs to protect them from AFO.

+ 2 - Aoyama is back at being AFO's mole.

[sapphic-agent]

One thing I don't understand is why it's so hard for the fandom to fix All Might, like I agree that he wasn't a good teacher for Izuku, but he recognizes that and does his best. Like I saw a lot of Dadzawa stans agree that Aizawa isn't a good teacher in canon, that in many cases they only like Fanon Aizawa. Then I think, why don't they do the same thing with All Might that they do with Aizawa, like make him a better mentor? Make him seek help from the other heroes, especially Gran Torino, to help Izuku control One For All. The fandom seems to have more desire to fix Aizawa than All Might. You can see this by the amount of All Might Bashing compared to Aizawa Bashing.

Simple, they need to make Toshi shitty to make Aizawa look better. They need a scapegoat, a villain to make is easier for benevolent Dadzawa to save poor abused Izuku. Whether that scapegoat is Toshi, Inko, or both. I don't mind the two of them being called out since they've both made mistakes too, but making them worse to make Aizawa look better is an automatic no.

It's actually interesting to me that both the fandom and Horikoshi himself use Aizawa to their own benefit. For Dadzawa fans, they use him to try to "save" Izuku, totally ignoring that Aizawa is also a contributor to how unfairly Izuku gets treated in-universe. For Horikoshi, he's a mouthpiece, a device conveniently placed to tell us how we're supposed to feel.

It seems that no one actually wants Aizawa to be a complex character. I actually think he had the potential to be good. In my rewrite he's still a hard ass, but actually owns up to his bullshit and treats every student equally. He's still hard on Izuku, but he's harder on Bakugou the way he should have been in canon; this blond menace has literally been attacking his classmates and using his quirk irresponsibly.

But Horikoshi simultaneously panders to Dadzawa fans while also using Aizawa as nothing more than a talking tool

Oh Worm?

by Nation_Ustria A quirk accident causes sixteen-year-old hero student Midoriya Izuku and nineteen-year-old veteran vigilante/superhero Tim Drake to swap bodies across universes. The Bats notice this immediately, and proceed to adopt the traumatized sunshine child and rope him into their chaos. All of UA's students and faculty, meanwhile, are scrambling to figure out how in the world an apparently amnesiac Midoriya is managing to be twenty times as terrifying chaotic problem-attracting as he'd been before. Or, in which Izuku is finally healing flourishing under the attention of an entire family of quirkless(!!!) heroes, and Tim is shamelessly trolling many, many people and has found a new best friend-slash-business partner in UA's principal.

[weighted-paintbrush]

WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND—

A while back, @puppydragondogesthethird challenged some of his friends to draw Undertale versions of their favorite characters. This is what I drew :3

Izuku is an exciteable Snowdin resident hoping to one day join the Royal Guard. It's been his dream ever since he was a kit. He's really friendly, and he's happy to help his friends and those around him in any way he can. He's basically this universe's version of Papyrus in that way. Inko would probably be the closest thing to this universe's Sans, I suppose: a short, caring, older family member who really just wants the best for him. Because Izuku often gets himself hurt while trying to help others — he's the same ol' self-sacrificial Izuku we know, love, and worry about — Inko has become very adept at using healing magic, over the years. Izuku... hasn't really unlocked much in the way of his magical abilities, just yet, but he's great at fighting the old-fashioned way. He fights to protect those he cares about and to, one day, free all of monsterkind. He also doesn't have the heart to kill an innocent human: he just wants to capture them. Something tells me he doesn't quite know what happens to captured humans...

Ash is a fallen human child — see the striped shirt? He was exploring Mt. Ebott when he fell into the Underground. He adopts two little mice during his stay. Little did he know that those mice are full of magic, just like many of the friends he'll come to meet. The mice are named PikaPika and ChūChū, and he cares for both of them, dearly. ChūChū is pretty calm and collected and sweet while PikaPika can be an absolute menace at times. But still... PikaPika has moments of sweetness, too. Ash's SOUL is that of DETERMINATION. ...and that's a good thing, because he dies a lot. His SOUL being filled with DETERMINATION allows him to rewind time and bounce back from the grave, just like Frisk!

And if Ash is this universe's version of Frisk, then Red is this universe's version of Chara. He was the first human to fall into the Underground. Unlike Chara, though, he's not much of a talker, at all. Ash does most of the talking. Red opts to stay silent for the most part, quietly observing until situations arise where he needs to explain something to Ash. Ash is the only one who can see Red, besides the Underground's other ghosts... and a certain zombie fox. It was Ash's DETERMINATION that caused Red to awaken. He wasn't all that pleased about being woken up, at first, and by a fellow human, no less, but he warmed up to the whole thing fairly quickly.

And then there's Michael. He's dead.

...

...

...

Okay, he's not REALLY dead. Not exactly, anyway. In the same way that monster ghosts are just, well, monsters, so too are zombies, and Michael just so happens to be one. He tags along with Ash to protect him. He's seen far too many children die for him to sit idly by while a highly-impulsive ten-year-old with seemingly no regard for his own safety travels through a world where everyone has incentive to kill him. So he's kind of like this universe's Toriel, but not really? He did try to stop Ash from exploring past the Ruins, but in the end, he couldn't keep Ash trapped in one place forever, but also he wasn't about to let him go unsupervised, either. And so, a strange little team was formed. A little found family, if you will :3

Yakuza Inko x Demon Adoption

Random thug: *insults Izuku*

Sullivan: *throws off coat with menacing aura* Prepare to die, asshole. Cause I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it.

Random thug: *fucking dies from blunt force trauma*

Btw, the VA for Sullivan is also the VA for Kiryu. Ain’t that neat?

Is now a bad time to remind you of the Mafia!AU spinoff manga of Iruma-kun?

The café restaurant near the highway was popular for its abundant use of vintage-feeling wood, which gave the restaurant a nostalgic and warm atmosphere.

The Kazemai and Kirisaki kyudo clubs jointly held a work experience event. Since many people quit kyudo after high school, the aim was to deepen friendships in places other than kyudo and to seek a way of living where everyone could continue to do kyudo even after graduation.

Tommy-sensei stroked his chin.

“In the restaurant industry, not only individual skills are required, but also coordination between each area, such as procurement, cooking, customer service, and accounting. The restaurant has kindly allowed us to fully book the location to perform a simulation.”

Everyone rushed to their roles. They put on waiter’s aprons. Hanazawa, Shiragiku, Seo, and Masa-san acted as the customers.

“Welcome.”

Minato went to take their order. Upon getting there, the long apron tied around his waist fell to the floor.

Masa-san spat out his coffee.

“W-W-What happened?”

“Sorry. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t tie the ribbon tightly enough.”

As Minato was putting on his apron again, Shiragiku frowned.

“Doesn’t it smell like something is burning?”

In the kitchen, Kaito had immediately burned the hamburgers.

Nanao dealt with it with a smile.

“My deepest apologies, but please wait a little longer. That Kacchan, he’s totally hopeless.”

Nanao started preparing dessert. Next to him, Seiya was trying to pick ingredients from the shelf at his feet. It happened when Nanao was about to peel off the plastic wrap.

“Ah!”

“…This is the first time in my life that I’ve had pudding on my head.”

“Sorry, Seiya!”

“It’s fine. I was just thinking of trying a new hair treatment anyway.”

Nanao could practically see a menacing demon behind Seiya.

“I’m really sorry! Don’t get angry!”

“Don’t they say that life has valleys and valleys?”

“Isn’t that just valleys—and anyways, don’t make me do such a cliched comedy skit!”

After the meal was finished and the bill was paid, Ryouhei said, “Thank you very much. The three girls playing the role of customers said, “It was a delicious meal,” and clutched their stomachs.

Meanwhile, there were those who watched the members of the Kazemai High School Kyudo Club, who seemed like they were performing a corny gag.

“What are those guys doing?”

“That’s why you can’t expect anything from amateurs.”

The twins were totally calm and collected.

Senichi and Manji’s father was the founder of a restaurant chain. Under the corporate philosophy of “Sincerity” and “Do things right away,” he focused on offering a comfortable space and a healthy menu, as well as reducing food waste and excessive packaging. Saying that those who didn’t know the field were useless, the twins, who had experience in the kitchen and the dining area, were in charge.

Shuu was drinking black tea with a cool expression on his face.

“It smells good. Is this first flush?” (1)

“It’s nice, isn’t it? We secretly prepared it for you, Shuu.”

The actual owner of the restaurant’s voice echoed.

“Who made this chocolate parfait? It’s mixture with mango jam added in. We don’t have something like this on our menu.”

“Crap.”

Senichi and Manji were scolded by the owner.

After the completing the work experience, the members of Kazemai and Kirisaki sat around the same table.

Ryouhei was talking animatedly in front of Shuu.

“Whoo, it was so fun. I’ve started to keep a hand-tamed Java sparrow. I don’t know what to name it, though.”

“Ryouhei, don’t ask Seiya about that no matter what,” Kaito said, and Seiya answered immediately.

“Bunta, Bunko, Bunzaemon.”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry, so stop it.”

Minato asked Nanao, “How was Lucy’s name chosen?”

“It was decided at a dinner party at the Onogi house. My mom did a homestay in Australia, and her host family’s cat was named Lucy. According to her, the cat loved people and climbed into everyone’s lap.”

“Is that so,” Upon hearing that, Hanazawa, Shiragiku, and Seo murmured.

Shuu put down the cup in his hand.

“When Captain Cook found a peculiar animal on his first visit to Australia, he asked the natives what the animal’s name was, and they replied in their language, ‘We don’t understand what you’re saying,’ which sounded like ‘kangaroo.’ Nowadays, it’s widely believed that it’s a fictional story.”

This was the first time Senichi and Manji were hearing of this.

“You mean that’s a lie?”

“Kangaroo was the original name. Who first told this story, was it a joke, or was there ridicule in it? Or was this story a hoax?”

Masa-san took over the conversation.

“This isn’t a made-up story, but I have a similar anecdote. In the old days, babies were given ugly names on purpose to protect them from illness and accidents. When they grew up, they changed their names, but when the family registration system was introduced in the Meiji era, there were many unfortunate Ainu people whose childhood names were recorded as is.”

“Names are important things,” Minato said.

“Because a name is the greatest gift from the gods. In ancient times, telling someone your real name meant giving your life to them. They are called imina.” (2)

“——As in ‘name of life’, maybe?” (3)

After endless uninterrupted conversation, Tommy-sensei called it a day.

It was decided that once Ryouhei had decided on a name for his sparrow, he was to let everyone know.

After the Kazemai and Kirisaki joint work experience event ended, the club members were busy practicing at the Kazemai kyudojo. Although the event was only for the second-years, the new members had grown more comfortable with the place, and here and there one could see easygoing conversations between seniors and juniors. These days, all the first-years referred to Coach Takigawa as Masa-san.

Kanbayashi said, “Narumiya-senpai, I don’t get this part.”

“Oh, about that…”

“Narumiya-senpai, I’m going to buy replacement strings later. Can you help me choose some?”

“Yeah, sure. I was just thinking about going to the store too.”

Yes.

He secretly made a fist.

Kazemai first-year, Kanbayashi Hikaru, was Narumiya Minato’s fan. Of course, no one knew about this. If President Takehaya were to find out, he wouldn’t be able to take a single step closer to Minato, so he was being extremely careful.

Kanbayashi blinked a lot. Not only during tournaments, but also during practice, his nervousness increased even if there were just people in the stands. In kyudo, the moment when the bow was drawn and the archer remained still was the highlight, so if you blinked a lot, it would be very noticeable. He couldn’t fix it no matter how many times he was warned about it. However, there was an advantage. Even when he stared at Minato, he wasn’t found out because he blinked so much on a daily basis.

Kanbayashi complained in his mind.

I never thought I’d become a regular. Huh? Is that decision really the right call? Does everyone really understand? I’m Kanbayashi with the blinking eyes, you know? Someone who visibly shows how freaked out he is, something an archer shouldn’t be?

That day, he immediately went to Tommy-sensei to give up his position.

“This position is too much for me. Today was a fluke. It’s proven that I can’t do tournaments.”

“Ho ho, let things happen the way they happen.”

He was flatly refused.

Even if this school got second place at last year’s Inter-High, aren’t they being too generous, or rather, bold, or maybe just careless? This definitely isn’t normal. Everyone here’s crazy.

He started kyudo in middle school because he thought that since kyudo was an individual sport, even if he wasn’t good at it, he wouldn’t get in the way of others and could learn slowly at his own pace. He hadn’t expected group tournaments, and he keenly realized how poorly he had done his homework and how unimaginative he was.

Minato really loved kyudo. He had experienced target panic in the past and was still working on preventing a recurrence. He was extremely straightforward, hardworking, and somewhat of an airhead. Kanbayashi had never met such a pure person, or rather, someone who didn’t seem like he was of this world. He worried if Minato could survive in this troubled world with such defenselessness, but it seemed that he would be fine as long as the president was by his side.

Kanbayashi sometimes fell into a strange state when he looked at Minato.

I’m a wicked person. I’m sorry. I’ll reflect on myself. Before he knew it, he found himself repenting. And then, for no apparent reason, he’d end up smiling. He didn’t know if this was the right way to describe it, but it was similar to the feeling he got when a baby was staring at him.

There was reality in Minato’s words. His daily actions proved that there were no lies or falsehoods in them. Above all, Kanbayashi could tell that he really cared about other people without asking for anything in return at all. And even if the problem wasn’t solved at all, you’d feel, Well, it’s okay. I feel like this person understands me, and that I’ve been pardoned.

But if someone with such clear eyes sympathized with you, the sullied ones might bite back, unable to accept the facts.

There was a period when Minato and Masa-san didn’t talk to each other at all. He wondered what happened between them, but before he knew it, they were back to normal.

“Masa-san, I found the not-for-sale book you told me about before, but it was too expensive.”

“I’m pretty sure it’s buried somewhere in my apartment. Do you want to come over to find it?”

“To your apartment? …No, it sounds like a pain.”

“Don’t think you can get fish without working for it.”

“I like meat better than fish.”

“Isn’t being vegetarian the trend these days?”

“The Narumiya family has always been meat eaters. In the first place, Masa-san, you’re a generation behind.”

As the conversation between Minato and Masa-san continued, with topics flowing endlessly from one to another, Kanbayashi couldn’t help but think, Ah, I’m so lucky to be able to spend time with these people. Perhaps Kanbayashi was broken as well.

On the way home after practice, first-year Keyaki, second-year Kaito and Seiya, and Masa-san often engaged in a kind of debate. Keyaki and Kaito had completely different appearances, but they shared the same views on many things, so they often worked together as a tag team.

Keyaki was serious and earnest. He was diligent, hated unreasonableness, and was most likely not wrong in what he said. However, the strong sense of purpose in his eyes and overbearingness were intense.

Damn it, telling women and children to shut up? I won’t accept defeat, and I won’t tolerate being underestimated!

His intensity was so overpowering that it exhausted them as well. If you approached someone belligerently, the other person would also be on guard. Even when he tells him to relax more, he knew that it wasn’t easy to do so. Kanbayashi also couldn’t stop blinking even when he’s told to stop.

Masa-san said that Keyaki’s enemy was society. The society was a large discarnate entity that operated according to a fiction that was created by someone. It was like a religious organization with strict commandments, and any violation of these prohibitions would result in strict judgment. Peaceful conversations were necessary for compromise. It seemed that compromise, or as they said in native Japanese terms, “coming to terms,” (4) was more important than making distinctions about whether or not something was black or white.

Kazemai’s strength was trust. Everyone caring for each other. He thought that such things were platitudes and didn’t exist in reality, but he couldn’t hide his surprise when he was confronted with them before his eyes.

Kanbayashi was addicted to crane games. This was the only area he was confident in. He didn’t really want it, but he happened to find a stuffed “Yomigaeru” toy with a halo on its back in an easy-to-get spot, so he got it.

As thanks for allowing him to touch “Minahead,” he decided to give it to Nanao.

Around that time, Ryouhei was alone in front of the bus stop.

Elementary school students were passing by while singing the Frog Song. The Buji Kaeru (5) charms tied to the sides of their backpacks bounced to the rhythm of their walk. It made him happy that the elementary schoolers of today also sang nursery rhymes.

When the bus arrived, he sat at the window seat in the very back. Looking out the bus window, he saw many yellow hats neatly lined up and moving away from him. Were those children with matching bags sisters?

My sister works people hard.

She would say things like, “Ryouhei, go buy mom and dad a present for their wedding anniversary. I’ll shell out two-thirds of the money.”

She’s very energetic, and she eats well, sleeps well, and laughs often every day. Even now, she’s humming a poem that she learned in reading practice in elementary school.

This happened a long time ago.

I woke up in the middle of the night, hearing something that sounded like a scream. It must have been my imagination. Well, I fell sleep right away.

About a month later, Nee-chan suddenly started throwing out stuff from her room. Not just books and clothes, but also all of her precious drawings she kept.

Another month later, she said that she was going crazy. There was a haze in her head, she couldn’t retain anything she read or saw online, and when she shopped, she really didn’t know how much she was spending. If she went down an unfamiliar road, she couldn’t go back to where she was before and got lost. They say it’s as though she had dementia, but from my point of view, there wasn’t anything outwardly unusual about her.

She spent hours replying to a text from a friend and only sent two lines. She would feel nauseous and run to the toilet, but had nothing to vomit. At some point, she holed herself up in her room on the second floor and only came down to eat. She was startled by even the slightest sound and would find herself crouching on the floor. She said that she had trouble breathing and she couldn’t move her head and limbs because they were numb.

Dad took her out to various places, saying that she shouldn’t be cooped up at home, and Mom showed her therapy books, but they only made her feel worse and had no effect. Nee-chan hardly speaks at all, and the only words that come out now and then are “I’m sorry.” When we took her to the hospital, they told us that if she lost any more weight, she would catch pneumonia and die, so she was given an IV drip and prescribed many medicines.

Mom and Dad had a heated battle over whether to continue giving her the medicine or not. Neither side would give an inch, both saying that I’m right and you’re wrong.

Nee-san asked to be admitted to the hospital because she was going to be a burden, but our parents refused. Nee-chan couldn’t touch her phone, computer, or the home phone, and she was even too afraid to write, so she couldn’t do it herself. Mom wondered if this was all an act.

She had no desire to do anything. She couldn’t take baths and complained that even brushing her teeth is hard work. She couldn’t get up from bed at all. The only time she went out was to go to the hospital. Dad lamented that his daughter was so weak-minded, and Mom cried and wondered why she couldn’t get better. I rubbed my sister’s back when she curled up, unable to breathe. Everything was so painful that I cried.

Nee-chan was found to have an internal disease and had to undergo surgery. I don’t know the name of the disease. Tired of taking care of her, Dad would sigh loudly, and Mom began to mumble to herself. Our meals were almost always convenience store bentos. The plants in our house were dying, and the vacuum cleaner and dryer wouldn’t turn on.

Our family was at its breaking point. I was making plans to live on my own.

After being discharged from the hospital, Nee-chan was taken to Grandma’s house. I was relieved.

Nee-chan returned a month later, but as expected, she didn’t return to how she was before. She barely spoke, moved, slept, and spent most of her days wrapped up in her futon.

After an extraordinary amount of time passed, I returned to Dad’s hometown to go to high school. I reunited with Minato and Seiya there. Nee-chan would get in a good mood when I talked about them.

After that, I would visit Nee-chan’s bedroom when she was sleeping and end up just talking about club activities. Nee-chan just listened to me with a smile, but I felt kind of relieved. When I was going to be away from home for a few days, she told me to call her, so I did.

Five years had passed since that voiceless scream.

Before I knew it, Nee-san was cured.

The days where she would be eating at the dining table like before after waking up continued, and she was able to go outside. Apparently it’s called remission, not complete recovery, but we don’t know the exact reason why. Grandma calls it the “medicine of time.”

What was said and done to her at her new school? I couldn’t ask or find out. I was too scared and didn’t want to know.

I heard something from Masa-san. “Kegare” in Japanese is transformed from the word “gekare” from the words asage and yuuge, (6) and it seemed that it originally referred to the state of not being able to eat. They moved those who were too weak to eat to a remote house and kept them away so that they themselves would not be dragged to the realm of the dead.

Masa-san is a knowledgeable adult and always smiling. Minato and Kaito looks up to him as their master, and are devoted to kyudo. Seiya and Nanao support the two of them, and I’m rooting for everyone.

Shuu-kun is cute, and Senichi and Manji are playful. Tommy-sensei is Kazemai’s captain, Hanazawa-san, Shiragiku-san, and Seo-san are charming and pretty. Keyaki-kun has a strong gaze and always talks about complicated things. Kanbayashi-kun is always standing next to him and smiling, and Himuro-kun is, um, er, sorry, I don’t really have a strong impression of him.

There are several small flowerpots lined up in our yard. Nee-chan planted acorns she picked up in the mountains in them, and now there are adorable leaves opening. Today, I planted some seeds brought by birds.

Nee-chan has resumed her studies. She wants to go to university after graduating from high school and study Japanese literature, biology, and physics. I think she’s being too greedy.

I started keeping a hand-tamed Java sparrow. I named it “Inko” after Seiya recommended it to me. (7)

People, birds, animals, mountains, sea, sky, and the sun. I love them all. I hate bugs, but I’m fine as long as I don’t touch them.

I’m invincible because I got everything I love.

When they got off from the minivan, they heard the sound of dogs barking.

The seven members of the Kazemai kyudo club boys’ team and their coach had arrived at “Wan-Nyan Land.”

As the name suggested, it was a theme park where you could play with dogs and cats. It was divided into small dog, large dog, and cat areas, and there was an open space for enjoying shows.

“I’m really excited. But is it okay for just us eight to come here?” Minato asked Seiya.

“This is our mission from Tommy-sensei to ‘secrete the comfort hormone oxytocin,’ and it’s an eight-passenger car. Don’t worry, I explained it to Keyaki.”

When the eight reached the entrance, Masa-san widened his eyes. Familiar faces were lining up in front of the entrance.

“Masa-san!”

“Keyaki!?”

“When I heard that the boys’ team was coming here, I invited everyone here as well. Please let us join you as well.”

Including the three second-year girls and the first-years, there was a total of sixteen people. While Masa-san was busy with the group visit procedures, Seiya briskly gave instructions.

“Okay, everyone, let’s pause. Now then, Masa-san, please accompany the first-years. You have the responsibility as the adult in charge, right? Don’t worry, the second-years will be looked after by me, the president.”

“Seiya, you…”

Masa-san took Keyaki, who had a big smile on his face, another first-year boy, a blinking Kanbayashi, an expressionless Himuro, and the three first-year girls with him and headed for the Wan-Nyan Show.

“Wan-Nyan? More like Squeak-Squawk,” Kaito said. (8)

“Kacchan, you act like an old man. Baby birds are cute,” Nanao said.

“I wonder if Masa-san will be alright. He was walking with Keyaki hanging from his neck,” Minato said.

“He’ll be fine, he’s an adult,” Seiya said.

“Everyone, let’s go!” At Ryouhei’s call, the eight second-years moved out.

Minato and Ryouhei ran to the corner at the very front. Puppies were running around energetically in a circular area with a roof. The two of them charged at the frolicking mass and started petting all of them. Even Nanao couldn’t speak as the puppies approached them curiously.

Hanazawa, Shiragiku, and Seo opened the double doors to the neighbouring circle. This was where the trained dogs were, and people could hold them in their arms. Someone who seemed to be a regular visitor picked up a running dog from behind and sat down in the corner of the fence. The three girls also managed to sit down with dogs in their arms.

Seo’s cheeks flushed red.

“You really can’t beat the real thing.”

Her hobby was watching animal videos. Shiragiku’s heart fluttered at the sight of Seo petting the dog with an unaccustomed hand, and the lens of Hanazawa’s phone was locked onto her.

Meanwhile, Seiya and Kaito were heading to the dog park for large dogs.

The large grounds were bathed in sunlight and the grass underfoot was tinged with heat. One dog approached them and sniffed at Seiya’s blue-striped shoes and Kaito’s red shoes. Perhaps not interested in either of them, it moved away before they could hold out their hands.

Seiya approached a dog lying down and stroked its chin. The dog got up and entrusted its whole body to him. Kaito watched the two of them out of the corner of his eye as though he was the one who wanted to be spoiled.

“It’s clingy. Isn’t it heavy?”

“I’m used to big dogs. But I have to take a shower before I go home. If its scent is left on me, Kuma will know that I’ve been playing with another dog.”

“Where are you going to take a shower?”

“Minato’s house. I’m going to enter from the back door so Kuma doesn’t see me.”

“They’ll think you’re a thief.”

“There’s no problem, I do this all the time.”

Somebody whistled.

The dog slunk up and went under the small hut.

The name of the song was “Greensleeves.”

Alas, my love, you do me wrong.

Greensleeves was all my joy.

Greensleeves was my delight.

For I have loved you well and long

Delighting in your company. (9)

Nostalgia brought to mind scenes that they may or may not want to remember. The two went into the shade of a tree to avoid the sun.

A heat haze shimmered on the grass.

“I recently learned that the Bernese Mountain Dog is one of the most short-lived dogs. According to a Swiss proverb, ‘Three years a young dog, three years a good dog, and three years an old dog...all else is a gift from God.’ The Ainu call bears kamuy—gods. I named my short-lived dog God and placed him by my side. Ignorance is a scary thing.”

“There’s not really a problem there, is it? It’s just an elementary school kid giving his dog a name that sounds strong. The Ainu people saw the bear as a god. Isn’t that all there is to it? Unlike in the past, medical care is now more advanced. You’re seeing too many connections that aren’t there, Seiya.”

“Fu, you have a point. –Hey, Kaito.”

“Hm?”

“Ah…it’s almost lunch time. Let’s go back to the meeting place.”

The red shoes followed the blue shoes in the sunlight filtering through the leaves.

People who had many secrets to hide, who made it unsure whether or not you should catch up with them.

Was it selfish of me to want to know what you’re carrying, or to ask you to entrust some of your burdens with me?

Before they knew it, a cool breeze blew by them as they walked side by side.

After lunch, the eight who came by the minivan plus Keyaki moved out. Minato and the others headed for the cat corner, where they first changed into rental kimonos. The moment they set foot in there, they were transported to another world.

The name of this space was “EDO.”

In the reconstructed Edo streetscape, kimono-clad townspeople, samurai, and cats passed by. The concept was to interact with the cats that lived in this town, all of which were former rescued cats. It was run by a non-profit organization, and the idea was conceived by a local high school student.

The cats roamed freely in the town and slept next to old ladies on porches. There were no Sakura cats there. A fight immediately broke out over Kaito.

In a slightly secluded area, the neighborhood was filled with Edo specialties such as wind chimes, Edo faceted glass, and glass beads against a checkered background. People dressed in happi coats and zori sandals were saying things like, “Teyandee! Damn it! I’m a trueborn Edoite!” (10) and “Oh, my God! I need to hurry up. It’s starting.” They were fake Edoites in every way, but real Edoites didn’t care about such details. In response to the women performing the “Edo shigusa” of tilting their umbrellas as they passed by each other, they said, “Hey, that’s so stylish!” (11)

Kaito touched the obi wrapped around his waist.

“Masa-san, kimono really suits you. It feels like you’re used to wearing them.”

“You’re looking handsome too, Kaito.”

“R-Really? This place is pretty intricate. Hey, what’s that?”

“Oh, that’s called ‘Shihan-Mato archery.’” (12)

Kaito was pointing to a group of people sitting on their soles on old tatami mats laid out on the ground, aiming at targets with long arrows. The origin of the name Shihan-Mato came from the fact that the distance of the target area was 4.5 ken, the bow and arrow used were both 4.5 shaku, the diameter of the targets were 4.5 sun. Everything was four and a half, and its long arrows were what made it distinctive.

Himuro and Keyaki decided to take on the challenge. Himuro hit the target so often that it was his first time, and Keyaki had a look of desperation on his face. While Kanbayashi was waiting for his turn, two boys were standing behind him.

“He’s hitting a lot. Film this.”

One of the boys had pinkish-red hair, and the other had blond hair in a ponytail. The redhead put his hand in the cuff of his happi coat and folded his arms, while Blond Ponytail had a camera in his hands.

Nanao clapped his hands together.

“Oh, I know you guys. You’re the Yotubers Asahina and Eddie, right? I watched ‘Shooting targets in the dark.’ It was a shame.”

Redhead was the one who answered. “You watched it? Yeah, I couldn’t see the target at all, so I couldn’t align the arrow to the height. Eddie hit the curtain, you know. Hmm? What’s with all the familiar faces?”

Redhead and Blond Ponytail looked at Minato.

“Are you guys from Kazemai High School? You’re Narumiya, right? I saw the live broadcast of last year’s Inter-High finals.”

“Yes, that’s me. Thank you for watching.”

“It was a great tournament, really nice to watch. I’m Asahina You, and this is Eddie Fox. We’re second-years from Haneina High School. Nice to meet you! So you’re the fated rival of that famous Young Prince?”

Seiya took a step forward towards Asahina, who was a true extrovert with a brilliant smile.

“Is this live?”

“No, we’re going to edit it later.”

“We came here as part of our club activities. You need our school’s permission to upload this on the internet.”

“Got it. Stop filming.”

Eddie put down the camera at Asahina’s instruction.

“We came here to film because we can see genuine Yumihiki Douji here. Although, those dolls apparently weren’t made in the Edo period, but Heisei era facsimiles.”

Eddie made a strange pose that was reminiscent of a flamboyant gesture in kabuki.

“I am one who is quite learned on all things Japanese. Karate Karaoke Kyudo. Miso Senpai Karoushi. Kawaii Mottainai Hentai.”

Kaito scratched his head.

“Is that good or bad?”

Seiya wore a complacent smile.

“If you like Japanese things, there’s a real Shinto priest here.”

“Oh, my, God. May I visit next day? Which temple do you preside over?”

Eddie seemed to have mixed up temples and shrines, but even Japanese people didn’t distinguish between the two. When visiting a shrine, one would often hear people ask, “Is it okay to clap my hands here?” (13)

Masa-san answered politely, as one would expect from one of his profession.

“Please come visit. I’m often asked this by foreigners. ‘Kami-sama’ is the one enshrined at ‘Yata Jinja.’ God is the name of the god in monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Judaism, and if you translate that as ‘Here is God,’ you’d receive questioning looks like, ‘What is this guy talking about?’ The term Shinto deity isn’t a name, but a description.”

Hearing that, Minato said, “It’s like mistaking Satou-san for Smith-san? I read somewhere that when you say ‘shrine’ in English, it refers to a quiet place for pilgrims and people like them and has nothing to do with Shinto at all, while ‘temple’ refers to a noisy place where people gather to pray.”

“The way of calling and writing proper nouns is surprisingly difficult. Himiko is probably ‘the miko of the Sun’ or ‘child of the Sun.’ (13) In a place where people worshipped eight million gods, Buddha arrived, and the Shinto and Buddhist traditions were combined. In order to counter monotheism during the world war, State Shinto was created and the kami and Buddha were once again separated. State Shinto and ancient Shinto are two completely different things, and Shinto is a prehistoric nature religion.”

“Ooh, I found a heart cat!”

Everyone turned around at Ryouhei’s voice.

“Fare thee well!” Asahina and Eddie ran away, chasing after the calico cat with a heart mark.

Kanbayashi lowered his brows. “Those people sure are lively, Narumiya-senpai.”

“They are. Sorry, we kinda got sidetracked.”

“That’s not true. The teacher-student dialogue was fun!”

Afterwards, Minato and the others enjoyed themselves with the Shihan-Mato Archery, sent a group photo to Tommy-sensei, and headed home.

[dark-elf-writes]

… I read the thing about Harry meeting JD and now I’m thinking of a crossover AU (again) with my BNHA/Havenfall thing and your Astoria/Harry Potter and how Izuku would be besties with Harry. I felt the need to share it because if you’re like me your brain is going to be attacked with thoughts, and these thoughts need sharing.

(Also Harry being a wee punk and Sirius going: MY HEIR! And helping build a flying motorcycle is hilarious so sharing that to. Imagine Alex and Remus just standing there blank. MC is laughing though cause she’s to chill.)

Izuku and Harry would be the best of friends (two formerly bullied kids who are finally getting the love they deserve and latching onto each other) and Alex would (playfully) go through every stage of grief over the fact that this means JD is forever a part of their life with all the chaos and while JD laughs. They can’t deny however how good it is to see Harry have fun with a kid his age and at least with Inko and them around property damage will be at a minimum… probably… as long as Harry doesn’t get too excited around the cosmic bowling lights and JD has forgotten how wild Harry’s brand of Magic can get. JD is laughing until they realize they are now two (2) kids’ role model and then it’s Alex’s turn to laugh.

(Alex pretending they aren’t fully here for the chaos and won’t be second in line to take a spin on the flying motorcycle right after MC under the guise of “making sure it’s safe” is always incredibly funny to me. I feel like they would bond with Remus a lot as the secretly feral one making sure their partner is safe. Sirius for his part will never stop teasing Alex for not being as put together as they try to act after MC makes a joke about “our first date: the bar fight”. Alex prays to every god they know that Sirius and JD never meet.

Also Alex would be a menace with a flying motorcycle considering all the questionable driving maneuvers they pull without the Z axis involved. )

[angst-king]

honestly, I forgot this is my blog and I can say whatever nonsense I want lol anyways, gonna share some general universe Midoriya HCs

Izuku isn't as outward about his feelings as people think, yes he 'cries a lot' but that's as good as it gets, He can't articulate his emotions in words

he likes to draw and often expresses things through drawings

he often struggles to understand friendships and relationships due to the bullying and lack of action towards it

Horribly afraid of fireworks and loud noises

will have panic attacks if he gets burned but he is incredibly good at masking them

loves mac n cheese

he owns a bunny named Brim (i will clutch onto this HC till the day i die this bunny lives in every AU)

he only knows love and affection through sacrifice and giving

he has a preferred brand of pen for writing and drawing

He and Kami draw together either in person or over voice call

He would lie to Inko about how bad life was getting for him

When he was little he would give Inko a heart attack watching him play on the playground equipment, lil guy was a lil menace

he loves to cook

he's worse about drinking water than Katsuki is

he has an emo phase, but its more music and art based, his entire online persona would make you think he's visibly emo

[epickiya722]

kiya i am frothing at the mouth i am having an awful day people have 0 respect for fanfic writers. tell me some cute deku and rumi headcanons queen please

First, whoever done upset Kitty... *menacing stare*

HAVE SOME DAMN RESPECT, PEOPLE!!

Anyways!!

Miruko definitely encourages a lot of Izuku's behavior. Not in a bad way. Once she became his mentor, he learns to have a bit more confidence in himself. Also how to be more fluid in his moves.

In vice versa, Miruko also learns from him. She grows more compassionate and along with her soft spot for the kid. She has some self reflection seeing his self-sacrificing tendencies and habit of keep going despite obtaining multiple injuries. I actually talked about that here!

They once rescued a bunch of animals and nearly kept all of them. They almost cried when they had to let go of the bunnies, of course they did.

Miruko so far has met Inko one time. Miruko is an honorary Midoriya.

Turns out, Miruko is an All Might fan, but she also has heard about Nana before from books and whatnot. She brought her up once and made All Might cry. Didn't mean to, but she now can say she got a hug from All Might.

Much later down the line, All Might started making bento lunches for her, too.

They once saved an old lady from a villain and in turn, whenever they pass by her bakery, they get a free pastry. No matter how much they try to pay her up front, she insists it's on the house.

Miruko often calls Izuku "little bun-bun" or "kit". In her phone, she has a 🐇 by his name.

Just as he can with All Might, Izuku can mimic Miruko really well and she is impressed.

They have combo moves, beware of super strong kicks otherwise you will wake up in the hospital.

Despite not even graduating yet, Izuku had gotten the title of "cutest sidekick" one time, Miruko teased him for it.

For now, that's all I have of this duo that I adore so much.

I hope you feel better!! 💫💜

DO NO TAG THIS AS A SHIP POST!!

[twinstarsies]

soulmate au, inko pov

Inko gives birth to a healthy baby boy on a hot July afternoon, after a grueling thirteen hours of labor.

She holds her little Izuku to her, bundled in a soft, pastel green blanket, and smiles even as tears trail sticky tracks down her cheeks. He'd wailed himself to exhaustion a couple of hours ago, and her heart has never felt so full of love and happiness as it does now.

"He's gonna be a mama's boy for sure," Mitsuki says from her chair beside the bed. "I'm already jealous."

Inko looks over to her best friend, watching her readjust the wriggling bundle of blond spikes and red eyes she calls a son. Katsuki looks like he's trying to escape a straight jacket, fighting against his mother's hold.

She chuckles. "Three months old and already a menace."

"Absolutely exhausting," Mitsuki agrees. She's smiling though, pressing a kiss to Katuski's cheek. "Izuku'll have his work cut out for him keeping him in line."

Inko hums, looking back at her son. She leans down and nuzzles his tuft of hair, kissing his freckled cheek.

He looks so much like Hisashi. She thinks about the way her husband had cried almost as loud as Izuku when they'd video called earlier and smiles even harder.

Katsuki is still wriggling around and fussing, so Inko shifts Izuku in her arms to bring them closer together.

"Katsuki-kun," she calls softly, and immediately red eyes are on her before falling to the bundle snoozing in her arms. "Would you like to meet Izuku?"

Inko and Mitsuki watch as Katsuki calms the longer he stares at Izuku. His wriggling stills, and he stops fussing. One of his tiny hands reaches out, as if to grab Izuku, but Mitsuki intercepts and lets him wrap his fingers around two of hers.

"Not yet, buddy," she says gently. "Let's wait until he's out of the hospital, okay?"

"He's going to be your very best friend," Inko tells him. "And you'll be his, right, Katsuki-kun?"

Katsuki obviously doesn't answer with words, but the way he continues intently gazing at her son warms her heart, anyway.

.

Since both of their husbands are out of the country, Inko goes home with Mitsuki and Katsuki. Katsuki hasn't taken his eyes from Izuku for longer than it takes him to blink, and Inko thinks it's the cutest thing.

"I think my son's in love with yours," Mitsuki muses, watching as Katsuki's slightly bigger body curls around Izuku as they sleep in Katsuki's crib.

They'd put their sons down together so they could get something to eat, and Katsuki had wiggled himself up against Izuku as soon as his mother's arms let him go. Right now, he's got a tiny hand fisted in Izuku's onesie, nose pressed into Izuku's pudgy cheek. Their breathing is even in sync.

Inko wipes tears from her eyes as she sends a video of them to Hisashi and Masaru. "It's so cute!"

"I can't wait for his angsty teen phase," Mitsuki cackles. "When he tries to deny having a crush, I'm gonna show him this video and all the pictures of him literally unable to leave Izuku alone. It'll be great."

Inko laughs with her, agreeing. Really, though, it's just nice to know her son will have someone to be close to, who will love him and protect him. His own special someone—a soulmate.

It's the thought she comes back to later, when both Izuku and Katsuki won't stop crying. Though, to be honest, it sounds more like agonized wailing. Like something hurts but there's no way for their sons to communicate what, and Inko sobs along with her newborn baby as she holds him close to her heart.

She and Mitsuki are on their way to the hospital—back to it, she thinks blearily—to see a doctor. They're given priority as much as possible after they explain the situation, and twenty minutes later, they're in a room with one of the nurses.

"We don't know what's wrong," Mitsuki tells the nurse. Inko is crying too hard to do anything more than blubber. "We put them down for a nap after taking Izuku home, and then when we picked them up to feed them, they started crying and wouldn't stop."

"Please, what's wrong with my baby," Inko sobs. Izuku still hasn't stopped, and she's so afraid he might cry himself to death. Katsuki isn't better, thrashing in Mitsuki's arms.

"If I may, let me take them for some tests," the nurse says, holding her arms out. "It might be internal, but we won't know otherwise."

She doesn't want to be apart from him, but Inko passes Izuku to the nurse at the same time Mitsuki hands Katsuki over. With practiced ease, the nurse gets them cradled to her chest, close enough their tiny arms rest together.

Like a switch was flipped, both Izuku's and Katsuki's wails stop, as suddenly as they'd started. They hiccup a few times, but both of them are quiet and calm for the first time since that afternoon.

Inko blinks in shock, the emotion mirrored in both Mitsuki and the nurse.

"Wh—How?" she asks, stunned. "What's happening?"

"I—" The nurse looks at the babies in her arms. "I don't know." She shifts them, readjusting her hold, and when their arms stop touching, the crying starts up again.

"Wait—You just got them to stop!" Mitsuki snaps, reaching back out for her son. "What was different?"

"I don't know!" the nurse says.

She shifts them close again, and Inko sees the crying stop when they touch, then start when they part. Something tickles at the back of her mind, a story her mother used to tell her when she was a child. A story about stars, and souls, and fated lovers.

A story about soulmates.

"They have to be touching," she says, faintly. Mitsuki and the nurse look at her in confusion.

"Touching?" Mitsuki's red eyes widen when she realizes what Inko is talking about—she knows the story, too. "Fuck, are you kidding me?"

Inko wishes it was a joke. Not that she doesn't want her son to have a soulmate, just that it didn't have to be so painful.

"They're soulmates," she says, still reeling from the realization. "I didn't think the stories were true."

They're old stories, about strangers coming into physical contact and being unable to be apart for a length of time after. It's their souls stitching themselves back together after being torn apart by the gods. They have to remain touching until they're whole again, or it causes them extreme pain.

Inko looks at her son and his soulmate, their sons of stardust and love, and cries again.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Curiosity, but what happened to Hisashi Midoriya in CC? Like, I know in your fic he isn’t Izuku’s biodad, & I know he left, but like, where is he? What’s he doing? Is he actually overseas? Are his exact reasons for leaving the same as Izuku thinks they are - he left because Izuku was Quirkless? What's the likelihood of him showing up again? What would the various reactions be?

Ahahahahahahaha...... Yeah about that *side eyes an upcoming chapter*

Spoiler discussion under the read more!

So yeah I am going with the Hisashi having very much disliked that Izuku was 'Quirkless'. I'm debating on how much of him leaving was straight up immediate abandonment and how much of it was him starting to mistreat Izuku and Inko went 'hell no you are not going to make my child feel worse than he is either shape up or get the fuck out!' and he left instead. So either way he still left.

Inko did try lying to Izuku at first because she didn't want him to feel like it was his fault, so she told him that Hisashi was just 'working overseas' but Izuku figured it out soon enough and confronted her about it and they have a long talk where she makes sure he knows that she still loves him and that it's not his fault and that what Hisashi did was incredibly wrong and cruel. (this helps Izuku in other ways as he handles the Aldera stuff. He knows that he's not the one in the wrong, they are, so he doesn't believe as much of the stuff said about him.)

In the time between them and now Hisashi has just been living his life pretty much. Maybe he did work overseas for a time, probably would've been a good backup on leaving so he'd just take that conveniently offered position instead of worrying about trying to find a new apartment.

Again: Spoilers below!

Swinging back to the Canon time, he's back in the city by now. And hey, everyone watches UA's Sports Festival. So ofc he saw Izuku being in UA's Hero Course with quite a powerful Quirk! He assumes the kid was just a late bloomer then. But hey! The kid isn't as useless as he thought! As far as he's concerned, this is once again his son!

We see the beginning of this in Chapter 25, where Inko keeps getting calls during dinner that she's sending to voicemail. That's Hisashi being like 'hey baby I miss you how about we all be a family again!' but Inko knows exactly what he's doing and tells him to fuck off. (Mitsuki also catches on when she answers Inko's phone for her, which is why we get her threatening his kneecaps)

He's not going to give up though, which has him trying to talk to Izuku instead. Easier to convince the kid, right? So he ends up waiting outside the gate to UA hoping Izuku will walk out. Ofc eventually Izuku does(he's actually coming back from his turn on a snack run with Momo). Ofc having some rando harass a student right outside the gate sets off security which means as soon as the confrontation starts, Aizawa is sprinting over there to handle it.

Hisashi tries to lie and manipulate Izuku with what happened, with a 'Oh I was just working overseas! Didn't your mom give you my letters?'(no letters were actually sent lmao fuckin asshole). Izuku is too smart for this shit, calls him a fucking asshole, and tries to leave.

Ofc Hisashi doesn't like this and tries to grab Izuku to get him to stay and talk more and feed more lies, which results in a confusing ass beating. Izuku breaks his arm, Momo breaks his nose, and then you get Aizawa with the Spooky Eyes™ menacing down on him because how fucking DARE-

Vinny makes the best ramen... Jay wore Vinny's jacket... Minu is like the glue that holds them all together and had been staying with Jay and was PRETTY BOYFRIENDY OK and I mean . The parallels between jay and Minu and Vinny OUGH

Mostly. I had just shipped Jay and Minu and then we got more development for Vinny and I LOVE HIM and they're all guy gal pals in my heart. These boys are girlfriends

I should probably take a break from the internet. But I won't.

I literally binge read (and am currently reading) the wind breaker webtoon like last night, so idk if they're rare, but! I put up a poll for it, and y'all agreed to let me get away with it <3

Mitsuki/Miruko/Inko: Scary women? Scary women. The menace to society that they would be, I cannot get enough <3 <3 Mirko and mitski would meet at some hero function mitski accompanied katsuki to, and everyone in a mile radius would feel the terror... Their dates would be a romantic barfight and bringing the pta and homeowners organization to heel for their beloved failwife inko <3 also this would make katsuki and izuku kind of brothers and that's hilarious

Inko takes care of Ace’s nails for him. He's a damn menace and won't take proper care of them so she does it but he's squirmy and won't sit still so she's half sitting on him working on his nails while he complains. He shows his freshly trimmed and polished nails fishing for compliments afterward though like he didn't throw a whole tantrum
