#Shouta Aizawa Appreciation

[aheckinmess]

In response to the results from my "What Am I Working On?" poll, I've decided that for those of you who want to see what's up ahead, I would be delighted to share it with you!

For those of you who do not want to be informed about upcoming writing and fanfictions, whether it's because you don't want to be disappointed if it's not posted or because you would rather be surprised when it comes out, I will put a divider here so you DO NOT have to read it if you don't want to. The only news I am sharing below this line is new and upcoming writing information. Read at your own discretion.

I wanted to take all of your responses into account, and this is how I am able to do so!

TLDR: You want writing news? It's down below. You don't want writing news? Don't read.

Writing News & Updates

Welcome all of you who want to be kept in the loop with updates and other fun ideas headed your way! Bear in mind, the ideas that I share with you will take some time to write, but I figured you all might be interested in seeing what's happening in addition to the regularly updated stories I have going on right now.

This is a compiled list of both current and future works that I'm working on.

CURRENT WORKS IN PROGRESS

My Hero Academia Imagines/One-Shot Compilation:

This work gets updated regularly every Saturday/Sunday right now. Should I ever need to skip a week, I will post an update about it. In addition to this, I'm willing to consider different requests should anyone have them, so feel free to drop a line in the comments (or in a message if you're more shy, like myself) and I'll let you know if I can work it in as a prompt.

A Reader Rendezvous:

The hope is to keep this updated at least once a month. There are a lot of prompts I have as works in progress for this compilation, but work has been busy so I haven't had a lot of time to focus on my x Reader imagines/prompts. Trust me, I'm as upset by this as you are. I have so many good prompts that are basically finished and just need editing! However, I don't work on these as consistently as I do the prompts for my MHA Compilation with Ichijiku (since it's updated every week), so please be patient with me. Same as before, though, requests are allowed.

Cursed, Not Cute:

This work is being updated spontaneously when the muse speaks to me. I went from writing 4 chapters back-to-back in May, and then not posting chapter 5 until Aug. 18 of this week. (although chapter 6 is in the works now). However, I know that it's a fan favorite, so rest assured that it's not forgotten. Since this fic doesn't have as clear of a direction for me right now, there may be long stretches between chapters, but I will try to keep it consistent.

Season of Serendipity:

This work is being updated spontaneously when the muse speaks to me. Similarly to CNC, this fic doesn't have as clear of a vision right now. Since I'm more hyper-focused on My Hero Academia at the moment, Jujutsu Kaisen kinda gets the short end of the stick right now, but I promise these stories are not just being dropped in favor of MHA fics. They all get just as much love!

Bashful Beginnings with Bengal:

This work is being updated spontaneously when I have time to get chapters written. I got into Batman: The Dark Knight in high school and was crazy about it for a while! Then, it died out and my friends rekindled my love for it by introducing me to Wayne Family Adventures on Webtoon. So, I've been writing about my OC, Bengal, for a few years now, but I haven't had time to edit her story in order to make it as polished as I'd like in order to post it. However, more chapters will be added. I just don't have a clear timeline for it. I'm going to say I'm shooting to get another chapter out before the end of September!

Apricity:

This story is completed. This was meant to be a 3-part one-shot series! Now, that's not to say that I won't eventually add onto it, but for the time being, it is complete and can be read as it is.

Hollow Harmony:

This story is completed. This was meant to be a 3-part one-shot series! Now, that's not to say that I won't eventually add onto it, but for the time being, it is complete and can be read as it is.

FUTURE PLANS & PROJECTS

By the Books:

Calling all Aizawa lovers! This is a fanfiction that I've been working on since I first got into My Hero Academia about two and a half years ago. Shouta Aizawa has always been the holder of my heart since I got into the show, and that will never change (although Enji Todoroki also holds my heart in his hands)! I don't want to give too much away, but just know this is an OC x Aizawa fic that is somewhere around 721 pages of nothing but slow burn, angst, and tasty delicious ✨C H A R A C T E R   D E V E L O P M E N T ✨. My hope is to have enough of the fic edited by the beginning of 2025 so I can start posting at the beginning of the new year.

Eye of the Beholder:

Once again, Aizawa lovers, this is for you! Especially if you love Dadzawa! Instead of having an Aizawa x OC fanfiction for this, this is a good old-fashioned Dad!Aizawa-Finds-Child!OC-and-Adopts-Her fanfiction. The idea for this fanfiction was actually born from By the Books, when I was wondering to myself how my character might act if she was hit by a de-aging quirk. And then Eye of the Beholder was born! This story was only just recently thought up in the past year or so, so there's only about 200ish pages for this one.

Ice Ice Baby:

While I know Enji Todoroki isn't a fan favorite in the fandom, that certainly hasn't stopped me from loving him (I mean, more for me, am I right?)! The idea for this story was born because I wondered how Enji might react having someone as emotional as me as a child. From observing the family from the show and manga, it appears most of the Todoroki children are all emotionally distant/have tucked away their feelings. Yes, part of it is because of the emotional abuse, but as someone who grew up in a similar household and still ended up a squishy, emotional bean, I decided LET'S EXPERIMENT! So, we get to see the havoc my little soft OC bean reaps in the hearts of the Todoroki family as she slowly pulls them back together. You can hate it if you want to, but I think it's absolutely adorable (and also about 250ish pages) and I'm rather excited for it. Consider this your warning about it if you don't want to read it.

Might:

We all love some Papa Toshinori. I just think it's absolutely cute and based on the AU fanart and fics I've seen of him taking care of Shigaraki, I decided I'd try my hand at writing some of it. This fanfiction is going to be Toshinori's goddaughter and her life of trying to be a hero after her parents die and Toshinori is left to care for her. It's got a little canon divergence, but a lot of the main canon events will be taking place for some tasty delicious ✨C H A R A C T E R   D E V E L O P M E N T ✨ with a lot of fluff and angst sprinkled in.

Permafrost:

Once again, I have an obsession with Enji Todoroki. Simply put, with enough love and affection, I think his redemption arc and character development could have been kick-started. So, this fanfiction idea was created before Ice Ice Baby with the same idea of "How would Enji Todoroki's character arc have changed if he had someone to actively show him love and affection up front before his children were born?" (Note: I am not saying that Rei did not love Enji. I am, however, saying that I read her character as being much more passive in her affection, as well as marrying him out of obligation instead of someone who might choose to marry him for different reasons.) So basically, think of this as my Todoroki family fix-it fic!

Other Ideas:

I have at least 300+ prompt ideas for MHA that all have little summaries written for them so I don't forget what my ideas were, but they haven't been written yet.

For JJK, I don't have much in the way of a full-fledged fanfiction planned out. (That's a lie: I have a fanfiction plotted out, but it's in collaboration with some friends, and thus I would have to speak with them before deciding to post anything.) However, I do have ideas for a compilation of one-shots, much like I have with MHA.

Also in the way of JJK, I have a Bartender Sukuna AU that I've started writing. It was inspired by someone on Instagram named pikkufrog, but it has my own spin on what it might be like. Maybe once I've gotten part 2 finished, I'll post it as a little two-part one-shot story. Or maybe it'll end up a full series, who can say?

I have two 30-day OTP challenges that I've been working on that I think would be fun to post. One is for Aizawa and one is for Enji. They both have very different plotlines but are both full of cuteness and angst. (Perhaps a dash of spice here and there.)

I've considered an Arranged Marriage AU for Sukuna in JJK as well, but we'll see if the muse sings to me on that one.

Finally, my big, ambitious project is to make a full-fledged fanfiction for every major character in MHA (and yes, I have compiled a list - we're at 38 characters thus far). Yes, it's a big undertaking and no, it won't happen overnight. However, since I enjoy the fandom and I like creating fanfiction within the world, I figure as long as I'm having fun with it...might as well!

CONCLUSION

In closing, I have a lot of ideas swimming around my brain constantly. Not all of them will ever see the light, but for the majority of these that I've shared with you, I want to give them a chance at life so I can share them with all of you! I hope this update gives you a look at what's happening, as well as some anticipation for what is to come.

TLDR: I have a lot of ideas for MHA and JJK. Most of them revolve around Aizawa and Enji, with a dash of Toshinori. Yuji, Sukuna, and Gojo are the ones I typically write for in JJK but those ideas aren't as fleshed out since I'm obsessed with MHA.

HAPPY READING!

I think I'd like to write more of the rooftop trio, if anyone's interested (・∀<)☆

*Any of them, all of them, it doesn't matter to me (⁠^⁠^⁠)*

[i-am-shitpost]

Why have I never seen any headcannons or anything in fanfiction about Mic and All Might absolutely speaking English to each other and annoying the shit out of everyone (especially Aizawa)

Mic is always happy to discover a new way to drive Aizawa insane (with love) and All Might is just excited to practice his English.

All Might: Hello Present Mic! Nice weather we’re having today isn’t it?

Mic: Oh yeah! Nice and sunny, you should have class outside today :D

Aizawa: stop speaking in tongues

[ohbeffinitely]

....hello. It is I, the stark raving lunatic who just went through your entire blog and reblogged every single EraserMic thing you posted because it's all incredible and also I love you and I exceeded my daily post limit exclusively with you.

YOU'RE A REALLY GOOD ARTIST AND I APPRECIATE YOU IMMENSELY. ILYSM ❤️🫶😭

I have watched my notifications blow up with each reblog of my Erasermic art every day for the last, what, month??? And I want you to know how much I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

It's been a hot minute since I've drawn the Boys™, but here's one for you:

Thank you again, from the bottom of my stupid little heart 💖💖💖

[rabbitsonthemoon]

I think that giving Aizawa these sketchy-styled despair eyes is such a huge fuckin' emotional whump in the smallest detail. Mic is the one who reacts loud and feisty, perfectly in-character. Just like Aizawa is, here, answering the question of how his character would react to a moment of something horrifying. Hiding his face with his hair, his hand, his scarf, but that one scarred, uncovered eye conveys his despair more than anything else could. It's a gesture saturated in so much of his character as a person who doesn't like the spotlight, who prefers to be stoic and private, who's still human despite being a pillar of strength and discipline for his students to follow, whose eyes are his weapon and his vulnerability and I'm feral about it.

[elenarayofavalon]

Having multiple hyperfixations at once is so fun. Like, I'm getting back into Pokemon again, playing the games and enjoying the storyline, but I'm still so invested in MHA that I just get cute little nuggets of inspiration like can you imagine how much Shigaraki would relate to N? Or how much fun it would be to talk Enji's ear off about different Pokemon strategies? Or to whine at Shouta for beating you in a link battle for the 50th time?

[mcfanely]

One of my MANY favourite parts of a fic that has had me in a choke hold since I found it-- I legit can't get enough of it, it's written so beautifully and I drop everything when I get an update email, Buffy you have an amazing way with words and I am hooked

You know the story. Bakugou is kidnapped from the Quirk Training Camp, despite Midoriya and company’s best efforts to save him. This, however, is not that story. In this universe, the League of Villains Vanguard Action Squad is after Pro Hero Eraser Head. All for One has waited 14 years for this moment; it’s finally time to turn Erasure on that sanctimonious fool, All Might.

Aizawa Shouta’s cooperation is not required.

Toshinori, dressed head to toe in Deku Merch: What are you talking about Aizawa? I don't have a favorite.

[writing-sideblog-behind-books]

katsuki's in at the tail end of the first year of middle school when he's offered the chance to skip second year. he's always been smart and ambitious and his parents like that it's another thing that makes their child special. he's admitted to the third years. deku cries when he learns as if katsuki hadn't stopped being his friend years ago. katsuki had been one of the oldest in his previous class but now he's the youngest. the new study material is harder but he studies and refuses to give up and exels. sometimes, he sees deku around. he's always alone and katsuki doesn't approach him. he comes in first in the entrance exam at UA. his classmates are annoying, chipper, and don't take the hero course seriously. they're all mass expelled and put into support course. katsuki isn't expelled because he has different area's to work on. he has strength, he has focus, he has ambition. a class of one student is hard to justify, so he's mostly put in with 1B but hero work is a 1 on 1 with aizawa. it does him good, the brutal assessments and the tearing of his ego. when the sports festival rolls around the others gain their place back in the hero course and katsuki's class of one is once again a class of twenty. he's still abrasive and the fact that he was the only one not expelled puts him against his classmates so he continues keeping to himself. second year rolls around and aizawa gets a new homeroom and cementoss becomes their teacher. his methods are exedingly different to aizawas. after two years of ignoring it, deku slams back into katsuki's life. aizawas class was attacked and multiple people in critical condition, so of course he visits him. not in the hospital but before class because the man's a lunatic that doesn't know the concept of rest. there deku is. scraped up and downtrodden in conversation with a classmate. he light's up as he sees him and calls out "kacchan" as if on reflex, then shrinks into himself in regret. katsuki has a lot of feelings about this and the fact that fucking deku somehow managed to get into the hero course, but he's already been a hero student for a year and done the whole it's not heroic thing to not blow him to tiny smitherenes. it doesn't stop him from waiting outside and confronting deku on the way back when he's stuck in a train with katsuki for twenty minutes.

dragon aizawa!

i have an au to go along with this that i will (probably) post at a later date once i flesh it out a bit more, until then have a 'zawa dragon I made in Flight Rising!

body: guardian, plague multi-gaze, obsidian jaguar/obsidian noxtide/dust contour

clothing: white aviator scarf, black renaissance shirt, black breeches, obsidian leg enhancement (back), black linen wing wraps, black linen leg wraps, veteran's eye scar

more information on my choices and dragon stuff ill put under the cut if y'all are curious

for those of you who don't play flight rising, guardian dragons are absolutely massive, averaging 14-16 meters (46-52 feet) in length from head to tail. wingspan averages around 16-18m (52-59ft) from wingtip to wingtip, and with a staggering average weight between 9,000-10,000 kilograms (20,000-22,000 pounds).

I chose the guardian breed specifically for aizawa shouta because of their lore in-game. guardian dragons, as their name suggests, are guardians by nature. As they age, they instinctually embark on a quest called The Search, to find the thing(s), place, or person(s) they are meant to protect. A guardian dragon without a charge (their chosen/destined protectee) is not considered to be a full dragon yet; a guardian who fails to protect their charge will often choose to waste away and die in shame because losing a charge is a massive blight on their honor. i imagine that his class counts as his charges, as we see in canon he will give all he can give in an attempt to keep his students safe.

multi-gaze as an eye choice was something i was tossing around in my brain for a bit. i chose the plague element specifically for the saturated red eye color, though if i was going with the manga interpretation of his eye color i likely wouldve selected the light element instead. though the in-game art style doesnt do my mental image justice, i had the idea of his extra eyes being in the center of his larger rosettes on his body, being hidden into the pattern when the eyes are closed.

the contour gene was something i was also toying with a bit, i actually have a personal grudge against this gene in particular, but with the grey color it works well with aizawa, representing his capture weapon well. I actually have a scry of shinsou hitoshi as a dragon and he has the same dust contour gene for the same reason. the light grey also breaks up the dark colors of his body, adding a nice contrast. The 'obsidian' coloring on his primary and secondary gene works really well too, because its darker and cooler toned than the 'black' color, and in the case of his wings it has a red secondary coloring that perfectly matches the plague eye color.

the leg enhancement and scar should be kind of obvious if you're caught up on his injuries in canon. i specifically chose the obsidian color for the enhancement, because his prosthetic is also a light silvery grey type of color, and the black interior works well with his color scheme (compared to the cinnabar color, with the same exterior color but a glowing red interior). the black interior does not emit any light, which i think works better for him personality wise.

anyone who knows flight rising may notice that i chose the female 'pose' as compared to the male, and i did this for a few reasons.

the female 'pose' stands tall, with the head and tail lifted up and legs mostly straightened out, whereas the male 'pose' is crouched low to the ground, with the head close to the floor, body hunched in on itself, and tail curled around the body. for aizawa specifically, i like the 'tall and proud' vibe more

i hate the beard the males have, i dont know why but i just hate it so much

the male head is turned the opposite way as the female, so the veteran's eye scar would be on the wrong eye

trans aizawa is one of my biggest personal headcanons

bonus: aizawa with kitties

black cat, scottish fold, calico cat, orange tabby, mainecoon

[thedgrnlover]

MY MHA AU!!! This is only some and not set in stone, probably will be changed and edited and added to.

1: Aizawa either adopted or is bio related to Sero and Hitoshi bc they were both born in June and r both canonically the same height.

2: The Aizawa-Yamadas and Iidas are family friends and Sero has know Iida basically his whole life.

3: Sero and Iida are lovers.

4: Before and after they got together, Iida would have orange juice ready on the dorms counter for Sero bc bros down bad.

5: Sero has a mini fridge in his dorm room and it is against dorm rules. He actively defies this and A) Aizawa is his dad and don’t give a shit, and B) Iida knows about it but is too down bad to try and rat him out.

6: Sero is NB and uses He/They.

7: Sero and Shinsou were both AFAB (assigned female at birth) and very much bond over this fact.

8: Iida had an extreme amount of internalized homophobia. He would never condemn his classmates for being and form of queer ever because he loves them, but doesn’t feel like he is allowed to be any flavor of queer

9: Sero has Hispanic roots. I like to think he had a Hispanic mother who raised him for a couple years before dumping him on Aizawa and Yamada.

10: Sero’s quirk gives him a slight resistance to venoms and poisons because of its resemblance to spiders.

11: Sero is a very sad person and they hide a FUCK TON of self deprecating feelings behind their ever present smile.

12: Shinsou is a major Seroiida cock block for shits and giggles but also wants them to shut the fuck up and kiss already.

13: Shinsou and Iida r friends because they grew up together (see headcannon 2).

14: Sero is a flavor of ace<3 same with Shinsou but undecided.

15: Both Sero and Iida have mommy issues. Sero’s mom took care of him until a little before high school when they came out to her. She shoved him to Aizawa and her whole side of his family abandoned them.

16: (Continued from 15) Iida’s mommy issues stem from his mom being extremely insensitive, overbearing, and actively making anyone he dated feel like shit. Including Sero. Iida’s dad didn’t do much to stop his mother, instead enabling her, so Iida started living with Tensei.

17: (Continued from 16) Tensei was treated with the same overbearing treatment that Iida was, but a bit less. When their parents saw how well Tensei did and decided to be more overbearing on Tenya to get a better result. Instead, it just kinda… breaks him? A bit?

18: Sero’s saliva neutralizes their tape’s stickiness. They can also decide to make their tape one or double sided. The tape doesn’t stick to their skin, but he does have a good grip when he holds it.

19: Sero’s skin is just slightly sticky. Not rlly the gross kind, but kinda grippy. His sweat amplifies his stickiness. This is useful for climbing and such, but it also sticks to them. This means if they fold their arms while really sweaty for about a second or two, they will stick together a bit. Pulling them apart makes their skin raw.

20: Sero’s saliva also works on the sweat.

21: Tenya tends to shut down and not talk when he feels stressed or overwhelmed. He cuts off his emotions at the source to keep from getting overstimulated and when he doesn’t have the time or energy to feel.

22:Tensei is the opposite of Tenya, in that he clings to those close to him and feels everything over the empty feelings.

23: Rich kid trio (Momo, Shouto, Tenya) are very close pre cannon and Momo decides to “adopt” both of them the minute she realizes that their parents were absolutely dog shit. She knows how to get both of them to open up.

24: Momo is the rich kid with the best parents. They are a bit overbearing and pushy, but she knows they mean well and genuinely care about her a lot.

25: Similar to Tenya, Shouto shuts down and doesn’t talk about his feelings, but he’s also much easier to get to open back up (specifically by Momo and Midoriya).

Could anyone help with hiving this AU a name??

[gil-shalossssss]

Let us appreciate for a moment that Aizawa is still alive bc as far as I know he's been hit by Shigaraki's Quirk, crushed by a Nomu, been in a building that wants to smash him, shot with a Quirk-cancelling bullet, cut off his own leg, and has been part of multiple joint attacks on villains. He also has to deal with Class 1-A's shenanigans daily. He needs a medal.

[dark-nimbus]

No one will ever be able to convince me otherwise on Eri being the one who got Aizawa the sleeping bag onesie as a Christmas gift

She probably heard something about gifts being a big part of holidays and wanted to make it extra special. Then one day she saw Aizawa struggling to slither his arm to his face like he’s wearing a straitjacket just so he could chug a jelly packet and got the idea

Eri also likely recruited Mirio to buy it for her because she’s like six years old and is still figuring out how the internet works and oh my gods I love them so much—

[moonlit-orchid]

On father's day, All Might received a gift from Midoriya. It was a little teddy that held a heart that said "No.1 Dad". Midoriya was blushing and freaking out that it wasn't enough, but it was more than enough, and All Might just hugged his little boy and kissed his cheeks about a million times in his joy.

Aizawa also received a single gift from all the kids. It was nothing fancy, they knew he hated fancy stuff, and they also didn't want to overwhelm him with multiple gifts. So they all joined together to get him a simple keychain with a bar of chocolate. The keychain didn't even have anything that outwardly said "dad". It was a simple yellow diamond. Except that it was embossed with the kanji for sacrifice, to show him they appreciated every single time they got in trouble he was ready to sacrifice himself for them, just like a father would.

And then, near the end of the day, All Might found one more gift. A single cup of coffee left at his desk. There was no name or anything, but he knew who left it for him. How?

The stupid doodle of a skinny cat on the lid that only Aizawa could have done.

scrunkly hobo mf appreciation hours part 3 (beautiful anime frames edition)

okay okay hear me out

i love the iconic close ups just like everybody else but can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that even when he's far away or not the focus of the scene, he's still scientifically engineered to be the scrunkliest, most adorable thing to ever exist???

like... he's so head pattable... i just wanna pick him up by his scarf and put him in his sleeping bag...
