#a wild aoyama appears

[multifandomxreader]

I come to your aid, my dear writer!

an idea would be an adhd!gn!reader that always manages to survive, but no one understands how.

they get distracted easily, can't concentrate for too long when someone is explaining the plan, and start wandering off to explore, etc.

everyone think they survive only thanks to the rest of the group

but chishiya is the only one who sees the truth (reader finds important clues at early stages of the game while wandering off, they try to explain what they believe is the right answer (normally being the right answer) but no one manages to understand what they mean because reader doesn't explain their full thought process or forgets to add context, asking simple questions out of curiosity and sometimes helping the group realise stuff, their previous fixations on random hobbies being useful, etc)

also, the reader is usually calm and unbothered about the situation, always in a good mood

people underestimate them a lot

gn reader with adhd x Alice In Borderland

It was time to play another game, you had only two days left on your visa which left you with no other choice. Hatter teamed you up with Kuina and Chishiya, something that made you feel safer. You drove to the location of your assigned game, a mansion in the Aoyama area, one of the wealthiest in Tokyo. You enter the entrance hall and each grab a phone off the table. In the room are two other players waiting for the game to start. A man fitting the aesthetic of the area, wearing an expensive watch and an even more expensive-looking suit is tapping his foot impatiently on the marble floor. And a posh older woman who could easily be your grandmother, fidgeting with her pearl necklace. 

Chishiya immediately starts analyzing the people and the room while Kuina greets the other players. The registration closes and an arrow appears pointing to an opening door, everyone hurries inside and the door closes behind you. On your phones appear the ace of clubs and a voice starts explaining the rules. “Game: escape room. Find clues and get out of the room in time.” You laugh “An ace? We’re definitely gonna ace this” you look at your friends to see if they got your joke, Chishiya rolls his eyes while Kuina snorts. They got used to your humor by now but you never skip the opportunity to make a cheesy joke to lighten the mood. 

“Thirty minutes left.” You look up at Chishiya as he begins speaking: “Okay, the room is big so let’s split up to cover the ground faster. Share everything…” You look around the room as your attention is pulled to a big bookcase. You tilt your head to read the titles. “I loved this book, ooh, Kuina you will really like this one!” “... and lastly we need a code to open that door.” Chishiya ends his little instruction talk. Everyone splits up to look for clues, the room is basically a large living room. Decorated with lavish couches and baroque art. After scanning the shelf with books you notice an aquarium with a small turtle. You smile as you watch it move, becoming hypnotized by the cute animal.

Meanwhile, the others were searching frantically for the key that would open a box. You got taken out of your trance when someone yanked you backward. “Search the fucking key you idiot” the posh asshole swears as he grips the front of your shirt. Immediately Chishiya and Kuina come to your aid. “Look violence isn’t gonna solve this game, so leave him alone” Kuina speaks. The guy lets go of you and points at the box, “We need a key to open it, search for it.“ You take it from Chishiya’s hands and examine it. It’s a wooden box, decorated with flowers, one flower stands out, a carnation. “Hey, Kuina did you know that a green carnation used to be a symbol to show that you were queer. It was popularized by…” You rush to the bookshelf as the others stand in confusion, your fingers trace the names of authors until you find the one you’re looking for: Oscar Wilde. You take it off the shelf and read the title. “The Picture Of Dorian Gray” you exclaim “I loved this book! The way Wilde portrays the dark side of humanity…” “Y/N!” Kuina signals. “Oops sorry. Does anyone have a knife?” “I do” the old woman proclaims while waving her purse in the air. She pulls the knife out of it but hesitates to hand it over. “What are you going to…” Chishiya snatches it from her before she’s able to finish her sentence. “Just trust them.” 

He gives you the knife and you walk determined towards the portrait hanging above the fireplace and slash it. Behind the canvas a key appears, you grab it and toss it at Kuina who opens the box. “Ten minutes left.” The box contains a riddle that gets rapidly solved by Chishiya, the riddle leads to another clue. It keeps on going like this and it looks like you were almost there. You slowly gravitate back to the turtle. 

“Five minutes left” the voice chimes. Behind you, the others cheer because they found the final code. You join them as Chishiya types it in. The door opens but you were met with another one. A sorrowful sigh left the older lady and the man punches the wall. The door was beautiful, so would have been escaping but you could just as well admire the craftwork that went into making the door. Beautiful curves, leaves, a turtle. A turtle. “One minute left.” You reach for the wooden turtle and start pushing it. It moved. You copy the unusual trail of the actual turtle, which had made you so interested in it in the first place: a triangle. 

The door opens and everyone leaps through just in time before the floor collapses. You look at your friends in shock before grinning widely. “I fucking love you y/n” Kuina sighs as she pulls you into a hug, Chishiya pats your back “Well done.”

notes: I hope you enjoyed it! it was fun writing a reader with adhd and putting some of my own special interests in it ;) (queer history)

A randomly updated list of plot elements and theories that run wild in my head

The following is a list of BNHA plot elements, in no specific order, that are still unresolved at current chapter (or, at least, that I consider unresolved).

This post is totally open to suggestion :D

I plan to update it whenever I feel ;)

Enjoy!

NG

PS - I finally found a title for this little product of mine, yay :)

***

Current last chapter:

413

HIGH PRIORITY:

1. How did Shigaraki solve to put Star and Stripe's quirk "New Order" under control? > Solved in vol. 34: New Order dissolved on itself but it caused Tenko to regain some level of consciousness > And in chapter 413 S&S's embers in AFO were able to reach both All Might itself and Yagi's vestige to let them know about the only weakness existing in Shigaraki, and I LOVE this turn of events.

2. Why did AFO do all of this? What are his reasons and origin? > We got his reasons in chapters 407-408 but I'm not totally convinced that he chose an apprentice just for the sake of having a new body

3. Will Deku be able to reach Tenko?

4. Who is going to survive? At the moment I think these are the name at risk right now:

. Bakugo > confirmed alive in 403 . All Might > still alive in 404, confirmed alive in 405 . Toga . Dabi . Hawks . Endevour . Edgeshot > still alive in 405 . Fat Gum

6. What is Ojiro's, Sato's and Sero's whereabout?

7. What is Eraserhead, Present Mic and Kurogiri's whereabout?

...

OPTIONAL STUFF

1. How was it possible for Yoichi to pass OFA to the second user? (i.e. how did he realize that he could pass his quirk?) > I'm not crossing this one out for we still don't have an explanation from Yoichi's perspective; however in chapter 408 is suggested that it happened the day Yoichi died and Kudoh has felt off ever since. I want to add that we don't know of any organic exchange from Yoichi to Kudoh, my opinion about it below.

2. Is Deku's father ever going to make an appearance? I know, I know that, aat this late point in the story, he can only be either AFO himself or noone interesting, but still, why did Horikoshi mentioned that Izuku's father would appear at some point in the story? Did he change his mind?

3. Is this picture ever going to make sense?

64.media.tumblr.com

For further explanation, this seems to be a partial picture that was present at a BNHA exposition in Japan but, to my knowledge, does not have an explanation. > The full art, however, showed Aoyama, so it might be a hint about Aoyama's role? I'm not convinced and therefore I'm keeping this point active.

4. Why AFO needed Shigaraki's hatred? (Rif. chapter 311. For further explenation see section "Open theories", n. 3) > In chapter 410 it seems that Shigaraki is now able to steal, if not the whole OFA, at least singular quirks in it but it stays unexplained how or why.

5. Are we going to see Deku and Bakugo face each other one last time?

...

OPEN THEORIES (that I enjoy or consider interesting for some reason)

1. Dad for one (alias All for one is actually Deku's father) > With the flashback we had in chapter 407-408, it seems to me that, even though it is possible that AFO had intercourse with women, I just can't see him actually marry someone, and Inko mentioned her "husband" while discussing Izuku's lack of quirk; however, it is still possible that she called him that way just for the sake of appearences or that they actually married for some reason. I don't know, I really don't like this theory but I understand the appeal of it.

2. Decay is not Shimura Tenko's original quirk > Again, AFO's death in 410 might cross this one out but I'm still suspicious about the man in 235 that brought Tenko back home.

3. Shigaraki can actually take One for All quirk without Deku's will > confirmed in chapter 410, even though we still don't know how or why.

4. Deku is suppressing his emotions > Pikahlua wrote an amazing perfect explanation about this theory and I'm convinced they're right.

5. Two for one (alias One for all is passed on both Izuku & Katsuki) (404) > I think we can call this one discarded.

6. AFO is (related to) the Luminescent baby (405) > Confirmed in 407 and even though I said I was not a fan of this one, AFO stealing his quirk out of crave makes much more sense than and I love it.

7. Izuku will replace OFA with:

7a. His own personal quirk that, similarly to Yoichi's one, was so unformed to be practically useless but grew up thanks to OFA. 7a-i. If we believe the DFA theory, his quirk might be either an evolution of AFO

7b. New Order (412) and it has to do with Star & Stripe arm > New Order is confirmed destroyed in chapter 413

7c. Nothing, he'll go quirkless again. (This is the only one I actually like) 7c-i. But his use of OFA has already created a vestige in OFA and Kudoh is planning to let Shigaraki steal OFA in order to gain access to Tenko's memory and finally start to connect with is soul and therefore to save him. > partly confirmed in 413, the only difference being that Kudoh actually plans to smash Shigaraki with OFA. 7c-ii. But, following the empty glass/full glass theory, Shigaraki won't be able to keep it for too long, without facing problem (like the 4th dying of old age at 40). >

8.OFA only transfer out of will, while hair or any other organic material just served to picture the passage in one's mind. I decided to delete the whole reasoning behind this idea but you can still read it in my chapter 412 update.

8a. As an alternative possible explanation, since OFA started stocking extrapower and multiple quirks, even though at the beginning a physical transfer was not required, it eventually became mandatory. (Like, email can only have attachment up to N Mb, in order to transfer bigger file you need a physical drive).

[aoyama-division]

Later in the day, the sun was still shining in Aoyama as Tomi had returned back to the Chōten estate to change clothes and hopefully catch a short respite from the number of birthday galas and soirées in his honor that he had to attend, it wasn’t even nightfall and the socialite was already exhausted. It was just the exact same thing over and over and if it didn’t cost him his reputation and family legacy, Tomi would have long since told the people who were clearly trying to mooch off him to fuck off. But of course, he couldn’t and so the cycle continues…

But enough of that, right now Tomi opened the door to his room with the intention to shower and switch into a new outfit before going back out and attending more parties dedicated to him. At least that was the plan before he stopped short when he noticed a medium sized black and gold colored present sitting prettily on his bed which made the socialite immediately raised an eyebrow, skeptical. Hino said nothing about any gifts when he came back and as sad as it was, he doubt his parents would make much an effort to get him something if it didn’t involve them bragging about it to their peers.

Stepping closer to the gift, he looked around it to see if there was any sort of card or letter from the sender but there was unfortunately nothing. Sighing, Tomi knew that he didn’t have time to play guess who with the present and decided to move it himself, he could always see who sent it later if he didn’t forget. That was his biggest mistake.

As soon as he held the box in his hand, it was as if a timer had gone off and poor Tomi didn’t have the chance to process anything before his world became a whirlwind of sparkles.

It had taken Tomi a minute to process what had just happened and become aware of how he was now on the floor, a loud ringing in his ears, a dull pain in the back of his head, and absolutely covered in glitter and some foul smelling slime that climbed to him. He slowly sat up, discombobulated and looked around before his eyes settled on the so called “gift” in front of him, as if adding insult to injury, it started playing a music box version of “pop goes the weasel” and much like a Jack-in-the-box, a giant, sparkly middle finger popped out of the box and a distorted voice sang the last chorus of the song.

“HaaPpY BiRThdAy aSShOLe”

As the 'bang' went off, Hino, who had just been outside the young master's room, betrayed proper decorum and hastily opened the door. In all his years as a butler, he had come across many things. He had been with the Chōten family for a large amount of time and had borne witness to a number of strange occurrences, both inside and outside of the family mansion.

...But even he was not prepared to see the Young Master Tomi, lying on his bedroom floor covered in what appeared to be glitter and slime. To make matters worse, it seemed to cover the majority of his room. From his carpet, to his bed, to his dressers, to the ceiling, to everything. The old butler looked at what might have caused this wild and strange thing to happen. His perceptive eyes caught hold of the small box and gold box, which now displayed a giant middle finger made out of glitter.

Tomi, meanwhile, was still staring at the ceiling, wondering what the heck just happened. As his senses slowly came back to him, he sat up and looked at the "present" that was bestowed upon him. He stared at it for a couple of seconds, his eyes wide as he was feeling a multitude of emotions right now. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Hino-san, staring at him in awe and shock. Neither said a word for a while until Hino opened his mouth to speak.

"...Young Master?"

"...Hino-san..." Tomi said, his voice dangerously low as he was no doubt having trouble controlling himself.

"Yes, Young Master?"

"...Have the servants prepare me a bath immediately. And then have them clean up this mess."

"Yes, Young Master," Hino said, bowing.

"And after you've done that, call the Tokyo Police Department and have them arrest that rotten miscreant from Shinagawa at once. And after they've done that, have them throw her in the deepest, darkest cell that they can possibly find so I can never see her or think of her again!"

"...I will see to it immediately, Young Master," Hino said, bowing once more before preparing to leave.

"One last thing, Hino-san," Tomi said, stopping the old butler.

"Yes, Young Master?"

The old butler then looked as the young socialite pointed to his "present".

"Get this horrid thing out of my sight at once!"

BakuSero mythology AU

People are everywhere, getting the last of the preparations done for the big night, Acropolis as lively as ever. Demigods and Demigoddesses are getting last minute changes to their presentations.

Katsuki is standing next to Kyoka as they rehearse one last time the song they prepared for the night, Toru helping them to match the soft beat of the melody with the dance moves. Others are looking at them from the sides of the Odeon, clapping and cheering, and smiling as the children of Apollo bring life to the dark stage.

Hanta is one of the spectators, he’s backstage, his tunic being pinned into place by Aoyama, who’s also adding the last details to it.

“This year’s presentation looks like it’ll be the best of them all, everyone’s doing such a good job…” he says as his eyes follow the blond dancing through the stage, mesmerized by the way the tunic flows with him.

“I could do a good job if you could stop moving so much.” to prove his point, Aoyama pinches Hanta’s waist making him jump in surprise.

“Sorry.”

It’s time for the children of Dionysus to rehearse one last time, the sun is already low, meaning there’s not much time left for the festival to begin. Hanta steps on stage and after a final count, they get started, his lines and steps memorized.

Katsuki is now sitting in the middle rows with Toru, both eating something as they wait for the last group to rehearse. Hanta appears in front of him, the golden specs of his diadem lost in wild inky locks, Katsuki can’t take his eyes off of him, of how he seems to fly up there on stage, he feels the confidence oozing off of the tall boy.

“You could give me your fruit back if you prefer to eat the boy over there.” Toru’s voice scares him, not like he will admit that to her face.

“Shut up.”

By sunset, the rest of the Demigods appear one by one, behind every group walks their respective God or Goddess. Hanta sees Denki walking in front of the group of daughters with Shoto, Aphrodite gathering all her children together close to the pond.

Katsuki wishes the earth could swallow him when Izuku and Eijiro seem to forget where they are and start calling his name as they wave around their spears carelessly, next to him, Jiro is trying not to laugh as they accidentally poke each other.

Blue lanterns adorn the way up to the Parthenon, where the Gods and Goddesses of the Olympus sit comfortably.

Hanta is nervous, the blond boy is sitting on the floor with the rest of Apollo’s children, red eyes glowing with the added lighting the stage has. Those eyes are following him, he realizes, are following his moves across the stage as he speaks loudly, moves boldly and dives his all on stage until he’s left with hurt feet and a smile so bright his cheeks hurt.

He’s tired, but everything’s worth it when everyone cheers for them, everyone on stage bows, thanking everyone before getting off and back to their place, sitting by the sides of the Odeon.

Katsuki doesn’t think he’s been this ready and excited to perform since he was just a child, the music resonates deep inside of him, his feet feel light against wood and marble. It’s while he jumps, prepared to do a pirouette, that he briefly meets black eyes that seem to be focused on him and only him.

Good.

Katsuki falls gracefully and everyone applauds him.

After that, Momo reads a few poems and Iida guides everyone without issues to the dining hall. Friends sitting together and the Gods all gathered at the table set in front of everyone else.

Hanta wants to talk to the stranger, he sees him being dragged by two of Ares’ sons, but he’s whisked away by his own friends a few tables further from them.

Per tradition, with their glasses raised high, everyone sings until the rhythm is lost between laughs and hiccups. Denki has his arm around Hanta’s shoulders as they get up for the final toast, cheers fall into deaf ears as Hanta’s attention has gone completely to the son of Apollo.

Their eyes meet in a silent dance, a wish, a promise.

Hanta toasts, to new opportunities, to new faces.

[p5x-theories]

(follow up from yesterday's p5x bubble universe theory) I'm referring to the p5x universe in general! With P5X being a spinoff, i was wondering if they'd follow the trend of the three other spinoffs: Wonder and Luffel seems to follow the trend of 'two spinoff characters intrinsically relevant/related to each other in an isolated dimension', and if we follow by that then this Shibuya being a closed off bubble world also can be theorised when we include the day cycle consisting just of 'yesterday, today and tomorrow'; it's just that unlike the other spinoffs where the wild cards are able to break in, joker is only able to appear briefly in this one (in the msq; putting aside the actual crossover)

(In reference to this ask.)

Ah, gotcha, thanks for clarifying! That is actually a really interesting theory, and definitely not one I'd considered before.

I do think it's worth clarifying that Wonder's not just confined to Shibuya; he actually seems to have access to nearly everywhere that Joker did, so far with Aoyama-Itchome (where Shujin Academy is located) being I think the only exception off the top of my head. Wonder does also have access to two new areas as well, Shimokitazawa (where Kokatsu Academy is located), and Zoshigaya (where Wonder lives). So he does have access to a fairly large portion of Tokyo, but that's sort of an aside, given it could just be a very large "bubble" here, haha.

That all said, at the moment I really can't think of much to confirm or disprove this theory! We know it's a parallel world, but that could be used to describe something like where PQ takes place just as easily as it can describe the female P3 protagonist's universe, so that doesn't really point much in either direction. Which definitely makes it some interesting food for thought, even if I'm not sure I can add much at the moment!

NEAT

@red-eyes-and-bandages I am very, very curious how Izuku’s quirk will interact with Aizawa’s. Like I’m pretty sure, he’d just be able to die as long as Aizawa was looking at him, but I also have this hilarious image of Izuku falling down dead as soon as Aizawa activates his quirk and freaking out everyone

Zombiezuku, Ch.2

<< Previous Chapter

Chaotic Entrance Exam is chaotic

Izuku is not quite sure how this happened, but Kacchan is dragging him up the path to the gates of U.A. High while a pretty girl chatters at them. Also, Izuku is floating. This seems like a pretty important fact to mention. Izuku rarely defies gravity on his own.

“Keep him that way, Roundface,” Kacchan had grunted and started dragging the floating Izuku by his tie after the girl had used her Quirk to save Izuku from tripping. “Can’t run off to be fucking stupid that way.”

“I could sleep like this,” Izuku had realised.

The girl found that very funny. “You’re not nervous at all, huh?” She’d laughed sheepishly. “I’m so excited!”

“I’m just dead inside,” Izuku explained to her.

“Deku’s a fucking idiot, is what he is.” Kacchan looked like he was contemplating chucking Izuku into the sun.

He still looks that way now, actually. Izuku should probably not tempt fate.

…Eh.

Some thoughts about APTX...

In File.821, it is revealed that in the tape to Shiho for her eighteenth birthday, Elena said to her:

“The truth is, your mom is making a truly terrifying drug at the moment. My lab mates are getting really excited about it; they say it's like a dream drug. Your dad and I are putting all our hopes on it and calling it the Silver Bullet! But in order to complete the drug, your dad and I will have to leave you and your sister. Please understand, Shiho.”

—In order to complete the drug, your dad and I will have to leave you and your sister. Please understand.

She asks Shiho to “please understand” their departure in a tape that is meant for Shiho’s eighteenth birthday; she had planned all these recordings in advance and made them before her own death. These recordings are meant to cover the years of Shiho’s life until she reaches majority, from her first to her twentieth birthday—and all of them were recorded before Shiho was even a year old.

With that context in mind, the “leaving” she’s talking about sure sounds like the permanent kind, rather than, say, merely leaving them temporarily in someone else’s care to focus on their research. So Elena knew they were going to die. And according to her, the reason they have to die is to facilitate the creation and completion of Silver Bullet.

And if we accept that reading, then the next question becomes:

Why must the Miyanos “leave”—die—in order to “complete” the drug?

How fantastical might Aoyama go with this drug?

And this ties into a different question I’ve had for a long, long time, which is: why did the Organization spend so many years (and money and effort) into raising Shiho, putting her through the best education possible, shaping her into a prodigy, a child genius, all so that she can carry on her parent’s research? Why wait over ten years for Shiho? Why not just recruit a different scientist? No matter how wild or out-there Miyano’s ideas may have been, it’s unlikely that the Organization (especially with their deep pockets) can’t find even a single other scientist willing to carry on that research.

Additionally, Vermouth’s fervor in making sure Sherry is killed—not captured, killed—also raises questions. “If you want someone to hate for this, blame your parents who took over this foolish research,” she says to Haibara right before she’s about to shoot her. I know many people read this as a personal hatred she has against the older Miyanos and in turn Sherry for what they had created/were trying to create, but what if her goal is simply opposite to the Organization’s and the Boss’s, and not enmity directed specifically at individual persons? The Organization raised Sherry to continue the research; Vermouth wants Sherry dead so the research cannot continue. (She agrees to Conan’s demand during the Full Moon case that she give up on Sherry, in part because she sees how dedicated he is to fight the Organization and shield Sherry from it, and for a long time she does abide by that agreement, but then she tries to kill Sherry again during Mystery Train because Bourbon has found Sherry and aims to bring her back to the Organization. Vermouth’s preeminent goal has always seemed to be to prevent Sherry from returning to the Organization by any means necessary.)

And to be fair, all this may have just been, well, the product of the author having already decided on the character profile of “Haibara Ai” that he wants (genius teenage scientist, creator of APTX4869, the Irene Adler to Shinichi’s Holmes) and then just shaping her backstory around that decision. And Elena’s words in that tape may have just been lies and euphemisms to her daughter, cloaking the fact that she can sense that her death is near with allusions to a grander purpose. Parents all want to appear as best as possible in front of their children.

But if it’s not that, might there be some other reason? Again, just how fantastical might Aoyama go with this drug? Might there be some genetic component required here?

Might APTX4869’s effects have something to do with the Miyanos’ genes? Or rather, Sera family genes? Because why is it that, out of everyone who has supposedly been fed the drug (the APTX victim list that we keep seeing appears quite lengthy), only three people have been shown to the readers to have survived, two of whom (Mary and Haibara) we know for sure are closely related? (I think I once read someone saying that Aoyama said in an interview that Haibara and Conan aren’t related, but that’s so many layers of hearsay that I don’t know how much stock I should put in it until I see the print interview. I just know that one panel in Scarlet Return (File.897/Ep783)—where Conan talks about how Yukiko is “good at disguising herself as family” and then immediately thinks about how she also did a good job disguising him as Haibara that time—that panel still has me going eye emoji.)

Anyways, there are more questions than answers after all that, but it’s all so interesting to think about!!!

[makeste]

not gonna post the 327 recap until tomorrow because it’s one of those chapters where there were about 1200 things that I want to write little mini-essays about, and I won’t really have time until tomorrow afternoon. (ETA: never mind, this is gonna happen on Sunday instead sigh.) here are some quick impressions in the meantime.

finally the boy is fucking clean god bless.

some quality fucking Kacchan content here, including two instant contenders for goat panel of all time (yes I know the “of all time” part is already included in the acronym but whatever lol). Horikoshi knows what the people want.

that panel of All Might suddenly appearing in the window took ten years off my life. thanks for that. not gonna get any sleep now for a week.

ngl though, that All Might reunion was way too rushed. one of the rare times Horikoshi has blown it on the emotional catharsis level. hopefully this is one of those “tbc” situations because otherwise that was really underwhelming.

y’all know I am a staunch defender of Hawks in almost all things, but his continued ghosting of Tokoyami is an unforgivable crime. that kid saved your fucking life, dude. fucking text him already bro.

the last two pages were an almost-unreadable mishmosh in the scan I read, so I’m gonna have to look at some additional translations because I’m really fucking confused about the timeline in particular. has it really been two months since Jakku?? are we already in late May?? is Shinsou ever going to be allowed to join the hero course?? should he sue the school?? stay tuned.

lastly, it sure is wild how Aoyama and Hagakure straight up fell off the face of the earth and ceased to exist. but pay that no mind. I’m sure it was just a simple oversight. lol and poor Ochako got sacrificed like Kirishima before her to make them seem less suspicious. every week I get more fucking hyped for this I s2g.

(Garbled noises, a burst of laughter. Loud raspberry.)

"Hello listeners! A-"

"You can't start like that. That's how Present Mic starts his show."

"Sheesh. Fine. This isn't even a show, Sero. Okay."

(Throat clears. A titter. A slight smacking noise.)

"Hello fans! Ashido Mina here, reportering live from the Heights Alliance living room for a project that'll hopefully pull my English grade out of the toilet."

(A scuffle.)

"Sero Hanta here! I'm in this too. Didn't do that great on my last test. Anyway, Ashido and Sero reportering on the exciting happenings of Heights Alliance."

"News of a rare sighting just in! A wild Shinsou Hitoshi has nested on and has actually fallen asleep on the left corner of the couch. This sighting is not for the faint of heart- only those viewers brave enough to endure Kaminari Denki's incessant shushing can get within five feet of the elusive breed. In arts and culture, the up-and-coming arts and culturist-"

"That is not a word!"

"-okay, Sero, arts and culture person. Stop interrupting. Anyway, Arts and Culture Person Kaminari Denki is stealthily drawing kitty whiskers and a little black nose on Shinsou's face. Art Critic Uraraka Ochaco is standing by and giggling."

"And in other culture news, All-Around Musician Jirou Kyoka is putting together a new music track with Classical Pianist Yaoyorozu Momo on Jirou's laptop on the other end of the couch. This explains why they were playing that piece in Yaomomo's room 'til three in the morning yesterday."

"Fashion! Dark Shadow has taken it upon himself to become a sleek new neck accessory for Frenchie Fashionista-"

"Excusez-moi, Mademoiselle-"

"Roll with it, Aoyama, will ya? Frenchie Fashionista Aoyama Yuuga has a lovely new scarf entity, courtesy of Dark Shadow, who appears to be nuzzling his neck. Gothic Chic Designer Tokoyami Fumikage is looking a little weirded out, poor soul."

"Minaaaa, my turn already! In food news, we have in the Heights Alliance kitchen our very own Master Chef Bakugou Katsuki, who appears to be whipping up an eighteen-course dinner for us all while vehemently denying it and attempting to blow up anybody who looks at him. He is joined by Dessert Chef Sato Rikido, making a lovely cheesecake while avoiding Bakugou's eye. Wow! Did anyone catch that? We got sports in the kitchen too! Pro Athlete Bakugou Katsuki has just sunk an eggshell into the garbage can clear across the kitchen. Uh-oh."

"Your faithful reporters are now attempting the Out-of-the-Kitchen Dash, in order to continue to bring the news and preserve our lives."

"Kirishima Eijirou to the rescue! Up-and-Coming Pro Hero Kirishima Eijirou selflessly distracting our resident Pomeranian with no thought to his own safety. What a man."

"A man among men!"

"Uh-oh, it's Aizawa-sensei. Gotta-"

(Scuffling sounds. A burst of fuzzy static.)

A randomly updated list of plot elements and theories that run wild in my head

The following is a list of BNHA plot elements, in no specific order, that are still unresolved at current chapter (or, at least, that I consider unresolved).

This post is totally open to suggestion :D

I plan to update it whenever I feel ;)

Enjoy!

NG

PS - Wow, every high priority point was resolved in the past few chapters. I'm tempted to delete them but not just yet.

***

Current last chapter:

422

HIGH PRIORITY:

1. How did Shigaraki solve to put Star and Stripe's quirk "New Order" under control? > Solved in vol. 34: New Order dissolved on itself but it caused Tenko to regain some level of consciousness > And in chapter 413 S&S's embers in AFO were able to reach both All Might itself and Yagi's vestige to let them know about the only weakness existing in Shigaraki, and I LOVE this turn of events.

2. Why did AFO do all of this? What are his reasons and origin? > We got his reasons in chapters 407-408 but I'm not totally convinced that he chose an apprentice just for the sake of having a new body > In 419 AFO explained that to steal back OFA it required a willpower stronger than the wielder's own and therefore grew Tenko to gain such a willpower.

3. Will Deku be able to reach Tenko? > Reached in #417

4. Who is going to survive? At the moment I think these are the name at risk right now:

. Bakugo > confirmed alive in 403 . All Might > still alive in 404, confirmed alive in 405 . Toga . Dabi . Hawks . Endevour > still alive in 421 . Edgeshot > still alive in 405 . Fat Gum

6. What is Ojiro's, Sato's and Sero's whereabout? > Solved in #420: They were fighting the escaped prisoner Gashly Eijiju in the Takoba Arena, until Aizawa reached them using Shirakumo and brought them to the Izuku vs AFO battlefield.

7. What is Eraserhead, Present Mic and Kurogiri's whereabout? > Solved in #420, Kurogire warped them on an isolate rock in the middle of the sea.

OPTIONAL STUFF

1. How was it possible for Yoichi to pass OFA to the second user? (i.e. how did he realize that he could pass his quirk?) > I'm not crossing this one out for we still don't have an explanation from Yoichi's perspective; however in chapter 408 is suggested that it happened the day Yoichi died and Kudoh has felt off ever since. I want to add that we don't know of any organic exchange from Yoichi to Kudoh, my opinion about it below.

2. Is Deku's father ever going to make an appearance? I know, I know that, at this late point in the story, he can only be either AFO himself or noone interesting, but still, why did Horikoshi mentioned that Izuku's father would appear at some point in the story? Did he change his mind?

3. Is this picture ever going to make sense?

64.media.tumblr.com

For further explanation, this seems to be a partial picture that was present at a BNHA exposition in Japan but, to my knowledge, does not have an explanation. > The full art, however, showed Aoyama, so it might be a hint about Aoyama's role? I'm not convinced and therefore I'm keeping this point active.

4. Why AFO needed Shigaraki's hatred? (Rif. chapter 311. For further explenation see section "Open theories", n. 3) > In chapter 410 it seems that Shigaraki is now able to steal, if not the whole OFA, at least singular quirks in it but it stays unexplained how or why. > In 419 AFO explained that to steal back OFA it required a willpower stronger than the wielder's own and therefore grew Tenko to gain such a willpower.

5. Are we going to see Deku and Bakugo face each other one last time?

...

OPEN THEORIES (that I enjoy or consider interesting for some reason)

1. Dad for one (alias All for one is actually Deku's father) > With the flashback we had in chapter 407-408, it seems to me that, even though it is possible that AFO had intercourse with women, I just can't see him actually marry someone, and Inko mentioned her "husband" while discussing Izuku's lack of quirk; however, it is still possible that she called him that way just for the sake of appearences or that they actually married for some reason. I don't know, I really don't like this theory but I understand the appeal of it.

2. Decay is not Shimura Tenko's original quirk > Again, AFO's death in 410 might cross this one out but I'm still suspicious about the man in 235 that brought Tenko back home. > Confirmed in #419, Decay, which is a partial copy of Overhaul, was planted on Tenko by AFO, disguised as the random man we saw in #235.

3. Shigaraki can actually take One for All quirk without Deku's will > confirmed in chapter 410, even though we still don't know how or why, explained in #419.

4. Deku is suppressing his emotions > Pikahlua wrote an amazing perfect explanation about this theory and I'm convinced they're right.

5. Two for one (alias One for all is passed on both Izuku & Katsuki) (404) > I think we can call this one discarded.

6. AFO is (related to) the Luminescent baby (405) > Confirmed in 407 and even though I said I was not a fan of this one, AFO stealing his quirk out of crave makes much more sense than and I love it.

7. Izuku will replace OFA with:

7a. His own personal quirk that, similarly to Yoichi's one, was so unformed to be practically useless but grew up thanks to OFA. 7a-i. If we believe the DFA theory, his quirk might be either an evolution of AFO

7b. New Order (412) and it has to do with Star & Stripe arm > New Order is confirmed destroyed in chapter 413

7c. Nothing, he'll go quirkless again. (This is the only one I actually like) 7c-i. But his use of OFA has already created a vestige in OFA and Kudoh is planning to let Shigaraki steal OFA in order to gain access to Tenko's memory and finally start to connect with is soul and therefore to save him. > partly confirmed in 413, the only difference being that Kudoh actually plans to smash Shigaraki with OFA. 7c-ii. But, following the empty glass/full glass theory, Shigaraki won't be able to keep it for too long, without facing problem (like the 4th dying of old age at 40). >

8.OFA only transfer out of will, while hair or any other organic material just served to picture the passage in one's mind. I decided to delete the whole reasoning behind this idea but you can still read it in my chapter 412 update.

8a. As an alternative possible explanation, since OFA started stocking extrapower and multiple quirks, even though at the beginning a physical transfer was not required, it eventually became mandatory. (Like, email can only have attachment up to N Mb, in order to transfer bigger file you need a physical drive).

Bye!

BNHA “cringe interest” headcanons:

Hehe we’re back onto the “cringe” headcanons again. I love these so so much so please don’t mind my headcanon dump. (also half of these are just me projecting so- )

- Mina loves Littlest Pet Shop. When she was younger she’d pretend she could talk to her stuffies like the one girl could talk to the actual animals. When she’s older she still does this when she’s overwhelmed or just feels like it!

- Bakugou and Izuku have a beanie baby collection! Their grandparents had them and passed them onto the two of them. They’d trade and play with them, and honestly when they’re older they’d most definitely trade half of their fortunes for one of those rare ones.

- I was telling you earlier how I enjoy watching “childish” shows because I enjoy the simplicity of them, so would Tokoyami and Shirakumo and Midnight. Tokoyami’s favorites would be Daniel Tiger and Tangled: The Series, Oboro’s would also be Tangled: The Series, and Micky Mouse (he was a Disney kid apparently), and then Midnight’s would be some random shows from channel 34.6 (heh, numbers vary ig) or something.

- Aoyama would use glitter pens. He’s also really like scratch and sniff stickers, probably because there’s so many different things you could stick them on! She’d also use scrunches and hydroflasks. They’d also have a bunch of flip-sequins.

- Kiri. Everything about him screams Disney kid. (don’t mind me slipping in some transmasc Kiri btw) He’d adore Mulan for being so strong and “manly”. He’d sit and wish that he was brave enough to make himself look more like a boy, but then his moms noticed and let him do what he wanted with his appearance :D. He went to Disney land when he was a kid, and he was so confused by all the English but no matter. He still considers it the best day of his life!

- Todoroki and Denki and Sero radiate fidget spinners energy. They probably thought they were stupid when they first came out, but they tried them once and refuse to ever leave without one.

- Ochaco and Tsu were Gacha kids. And they were good at it too. They spend hours on their OCs and hyperfixate on making their videos to the best quality they can. Anyone who tells them they’re “cringe” get a nice king flight or a frog thunge sling shot.

- Also, Uraraka wears flip sequins as well.

- Also since people seem to consider Danganronpa as “cringe” I’m going to make it where the Rooftop Squad loved it. And, to make it better, they each liked one of the games more than the other. Aizawa liked THH the most, Midnight liked UDG most, Oboro liked the second most, and Hizashi liked the last one most.

- Izuku, Tokoyami, Hagakure, Ojirou, Kouda, all like to RP.

- And then, ofc, I can’t leave out the best one:

Class 1A with their Wild Kratts marathons

Leslie I am speechless

this is FUCKING AMAZING OH MY LORD

Please- your headcanons are so good

[todomitoukei]

Please, give us your feelings about BNHA's female characters. Tbh, I just don't care about them? Even Toga-and I consider her the best female characters. Imho it's not that they are all bad... it's just they are so flat and who was Midnight again? The one with thi scandalous outfit that was just plain bad? Like it wasn't even funny it was just a nope for me.

Alright, here are some thoughts I have about the female characters, or rather how Horikoshi writes female characters. Disclaimer: this post is going in all sorts of directions, mainly because there are so many ways in which Horikoshi manages to write awful female characters!

The problem starts with the fact that the bar for female characters (especially in shonen) is very low. For some reason, many if not most stories seem to be unable to include female characters that are more than just fan service or just there to serve the male characters. Despite the fact that bnha does have both fan service and characters that are far too flat, some people in the fandom don’t think so?! Anyway, let’s look at some of the reasons why the female characters in bnha are not as progressive as some people claim they are (under the cut because there is just too much):

Okay so, out of all the female characters I honestly only somewhat care about Toga, Momo, and Jirou, and it’s even difficult to care about those three (minus Toga) because they just aren’t included enough in the story to leave a big enough impression or stand a chance at getting a lot of character development.

Jirou I mainly love because I love the whole rock vibe, so I’m biased with her. I do think she’s a cool character, but I also feel like a lot of her lines/appearances are tied to Kaminari. Although he is supportive of her, there is one thing that bothers me about the scene where he encourages her to perform at the festival, which I will mention a little later. 

I do like that she has an interest outside of hero work (aka music) and that it stems from her parents, who are both musicians. That small scene we got of her parents showing their full, unconditional support when she tells them that she wants to be a hero is a cute scene, and I love that she is later shown to teach some of the girls how to play instruments. The problem is that those scenes are very few, and we already get so few appearances of her (won’t forgive them for not even including her in the newest OVA).

Momo is another good character - she is smart, strong, and brave. She also has the most amount of relevance out of all the female students, especially with her being involved in rescuing Bakugou. Momo has a lot of potential, but there are three main issues that I have with her character though. 

One, her hero outfit. It makes zero sense. You’d think her outfit needs to show skin due to her quirk, but then we get scenes that make it even worse, like during USJ when she created that large sheet through her back, which resulted in her outfit ripping apart and almost exposing her in chapter 61:

^also it’s panels like this where some people praise Horikoshi for giving her a realistic stomach?? Please raise the bar a little bit

And in regards to her boobs... that outfit is not supporting them at all??? It would make far more sense to just give this girl a sports bra and pants. Anywayyy, let’s not forget she is a teenager so maybe also give her a shirt? Even a loose shirt would make sense, so she could have larger creations come out of her stomach/back area without ruining her clothes every time. 

Two, her quirk is far too strong, but because this is a fictional story, it doesn’t get used in the most efficient way. As other people have already joked about, the story could be told in one season if Momo was the main character and just went wild with her quirk. Horikoshi doesn’t really make an effort to explain to us why Momo doesn’t just wrap this all up real quick. You can talk about how overpowered Green Ketchum trying to catch all quirks is, but he has nothing on Eri and Momo.

Three, after the sports festival, Momo had an issue with her self-confidence, similar to how Jirou didn’t feel confident enough to perform at the festival. And similar to how it was Kaminari that first made an attempt at boosting Jirou’s confidence, it was Shouto who helped out Momo. Now, I don’t have a problem with guys supporting girls - it’s just annoying when female characters aren’t allowed to be confident or find confidence on their own, or with the help of other female characters.

I get that she was comparing herself to him, so him showing her that he believes in her is the most helpful for her, but it becomes a problem when this is the biggest character development she gets. It’s almost like after this scene, she’s cured. And whenever a tiny hint at self-doubt crosses her mind, she just remembers that Shouto believes in her, and then she’s back on track. Not great.

Because of this, it’s really nice whenever we get a scene of just the girls hanging out, the problem is simply that those scenes barely exist because most of the female students are each tied to one specific male character: Jirou to Kaminari, Momo to Shouto, and Uraraka to Deku. Out of the three, Uraraka is the most unfortunate one, mainly because she is tied to the protagonist, so he’s always going to play a bigger role for her character than she will for him.

I think Uraraka, Momo, and Jirou all have a lot of potential and could be really interesting strong female characters. I even really love Uraraka’s motivation for becoming a hero, since she wants to help out her parents. This is actually a very selfless reason, despite the fact that most of the fandom constantly paints her as someone who would do anything for money. People even make it seem like her doing this for money is selfish, even though the money isn’t supposed to be for her, but for her parents?! And to be honest, even if her motivation was to get money for herself, can we please stop claiming that doing something for money is selfish?? Like hello? We all live in capitalist hell. We all have to work and make money to live, so please stop pressing that idea of everyone having to be passionate about their jobs. It’s okay if you hate your job, we can’t all get paid for things we’re passionate about. And guess what? It’s okay because you can still have things your passionate about outside of work and just do your job to afford shelter, food, and your hobbies! 

Anywayyy, whenever people aren’t claiming that Uraraka is just after money, her other personality trait is Deku. This mainly started when Aoyama claims that she has a crush on Deku in chapter 67:

Ever since, whenever she looks, thinks, or mentions him, she can’t think clearly anymore. No matter what she does, she seems to always think: “What would Deku do?” - instead of just asking herself: “What would I do?” To be fair, this expands to other characters as well - Bakugou and Shouto both have that same problem of constantly bringing Deku up, so this is just a problem in general with bnha, where somehow everyone is obsessed with the protagonist. The difference is just that characters that aren’t Uraraka have more to them than just Deku (Bakugou being on thin ice though).

You know what other female character has no personality outside of Deku? His mom. I know that this one might not matter as much to other people because she is a supportive mom and we love to see supportive parents, and she just doesn’t get enough screentime to give her a personality that doesn’t revolve around Deku. And I’m not saying a woman can’t just dedicate her life to her child - but since we’re already talking about female characters in this story that fall flat, could you name me anything about her that has nothing to do with Deku? What’s her hobby? What are her dreams? Yes, she has the role of mom in this story and that is her purpose, but she would just feel a little more human if we knew a little more about her. We know more about Jirou’s, Bakugou’s, and Shouto’s parents. But what about Inko? What does she do all day long?

Also now that I mentioned mothers... a big debate in the fandom (for whatever fucking reason) is whether or not Bakugou’s mom is a good mom (she isn’t). I don’t know how Horikoshi manages to write a story where one of the character’s whole plot is all about his abusive upbringing, and then he turns around and writes Mitsuki as some sort of comedy relief??

^Here in chapter 96, we have Aizawa and All Might making the home visits because of the dorm system U.A. wants to implement. Despite these two Pro Heroes seeing her smack Bakugou and call him weak, thus blaming him for having gotten kidnapped, they don’t do anything about this. They never bring this up again, or even ask if Bakugou is okay; but that’s a topic for another day. The point is, Horikoshi doesn’t seem to put much thought into his female characters as individuals but rather writes them for the sake of one of the male characters. In this case, I assume, his thought process was: I want Bakugou to be a rough character, what could possibly be a cause for that? Oh, right, how about his mom?

How we’re supposed to view the characters just depends on what their overall role is - while the Todoroki family is all about the horrors Endeavor has done to them, Bakugou’s mom doesn’t get addressed as such in the story. The only time this sort of gets brought up is during the remedial course in chapter 165 when Bakugou says violence is okay because “that’s how I was raised” - to which Shouto responds by telling him there are better ways:

Hell, even this little Monoma lookalike can understand that Bakugou’s upbringing wasn’t normal:

But despite the fact Horikoshi brings this up here, it’s overall never mentioned and I’m not sure if that will ever play a more significant role, despite the potential.

I absolutely understand that parents that don’t play an actual role in the story, are going to be written with the characterization of their kids in mind - yet it’s not great to just include an awful mother without properly addressing this and instead, making it seem more like “Oh, that’s just how mothers are, nothing wrong here” - which is something a lot of people in the fandom say btw. Please note, it is not okay to hit your child. Bakugou easily could’ve been given overly supportive parents, and yet Horikoshi looked at his creation and thought: I’m now gonna create a horrible mother for this child.

It just shows that it doesn’t actually matter what female characters are like; they are solely an extension of a male character and thus it doesn’t matter at all what they are like, what they say, or what they do. There are no consequences for characters like Mitsuki because her only purpose is to explain to us why Bakugou is the way he is. But his character is about how his obsession with Deku negatively affects his life and so since his family problems are not the focus of his character, the story doesn’t bother telling us that she is bad or that she should apologize to Bakugou and better herself.

Aside from the female students and mothers, we get the Pro Heroes. Midnight and Mt. Lady are two of the female Pro Heroes that come to mind first. The problem? They don’t get along because women can’t ever be supportive of one another<3 

Aside from that toxic stereotype that girls are always gonna be jealous of another and can’t ever be supportive, we also have their hero outfits, which are pure fan service. And if that wasn’t enough, we get panels like this one from chapter 241:

that are drawing even more attention to their boobs and butts because that is all more important than them being heroes. Could you name me a single male character that was mainly reduced to fan service? Like yes, Dabi is serving looks all the time, but he also has a personality, motivations, goals, etc.

Aside from Horikoshi deciding to objectify them most of the time, he shows us that he is a multitasking king by also making them predatory adults who should not be around kids (and with that, should also not be heroes or teachers), like later on in that same chapter when Mt. Lady is talking to Shouto:

And because we - much like Horikoshi wants us to - find Shouto’s reactions/responses so funny, it distracts from the weird comments Mt. Lady makes, like “if a looker like you suddenly showed up, I think my heart would burst out of my chest” and “he’s cute. I want him” - please stop. You are literally an adult. I get that his inability to understand social cues can make him seem really cute and funny, but there are more appropriate things to say. Or to quote Mr. Compress (once again proving that the League has more standards than the heroes): “What an odd thing to say. [He] doesn’t belong to anyone.”

Similarly, we also have this panel from chapter 67 of Midnight talking to Mineta:

Like... what the fuck?? Who thinks this is okay??

I know all of this is supposed to be for comedy purposes, but this is just outright disgusting, especially when it comes from an adult and is said to a minor. 

The female characters already get treated awfully, no reason to make them weird too.

Another thing that is common in bnha in regards to female characters is how they are treated in comparison to the male characters. There is already an obvious trend of treating the villains worse than the heroes, by having villains either receive long-lasting damage (i.e. Compress losing his arm during the Overhaul arc and now losing even more of his body; Dabi’s body constantly being burned more etc.) or just get killed off altogether (i.e. Magne and Twice). The heroes, on the other hand, constantly survive everything (i.e. Twice died from being stabbed once, whereas Bakugou essentially survived the same kind of situation). That same logic also gets applied to gender: of course the male characters also get their fair share of damage, though this is more due to the fact that they make up the majority of characters and get more involved in fights than the female characters, who are usually not part of the big/boss fights. However, the women get treated a whole lot worse - out of all the heroes that got hurt during the current arc, Miruko was the most explicit one, where we get panels of her losing her limbs, whereas several chapters later when Aizawa cuts off his own leg, we only see the knife being moved toward his leg.

We also constantly get very questionable panels for the female characters, like this one of Tsuyu from chapter 66:

This panel of Toga from chapter 226:

Or him just straight-up including a panel of a naked Toga, aka a minor, earlier this arc when she met up with Uraraka.

Speaking of Toga, she really is the most interesting out of all the female characters - she isn’t just a one-dimensional character, but one with her own deep backstory: judged for her quirk by everyone in her life, forcing her to pretend to be someone she isn’t until she couldn’t hold it in anymore. The League is her family and her home because they are the people that always accept her. She plays a big role in the League and gets plenty of action and screen time; she is significant during every part that includes the League. While Dabi, friendly as he is, calls her crazy (an attitude that isn’t just limited to her), they all respect her and never judge her for her quirk or treat her as less. Although much like Uraraka, she has an annoying obsession with Deku, she is still mostly shown to have other significant people in her life (= the League) and even earlier this arc when she wonders whether the heroes saw Twice as human or not, she wants to ask this question, which is very important to her, to Uraraka - not Deku. 

To kinda sorta sum it up: Toga feels like the most realistic out of all of them because she has equal screentime to the rest of the League. She has her own reasons, ambitions, and dreams. Yes, she likes to talk about her love for Stain and Deku, and that is due to Horikoshi adding a bunch of stuff for comedic purposes, even though they do more harm than good. Toga as a character is written really well, but even she can’t escape Horikoshi’s inability to not be a creep about female characters.

As for the adult women, in cases like Mitsuki, Midnight, or Mt. Lady it’s absolutely fine apparently for them to be inappropriate with kids because those words and actions are all supposed to be funny. Even Mineta gets constantly called out for being inappropriate, but none of the female characters seem to matter enough to Horikoshi to actually put thought into them and call them out for weird behavior.

There’s probably a whole lot more I could say here, but that’s what I could think of at the top of my head (which is far too much btw).

I really wish Horikoshi would put more effort into writing layered female characters that aren’t just there for fan service, comedic purposes, or exist for the purpose of male characters and their development. I wish he would stop being creepy about them and drawing weird panels of them, or more explicit panels of them than the male characters. Yes, he draws them with slightly different body types, but that’s really not enough to claim that he is good at writing female characters, especially when there is so much evidence against it.
