#also works as quirkswap

[chungledownbeamcannon]

Back again with another rare pair of mine

[zincbotted]

bnha class 1-a randomly generated quirkswap au blurbs

(also in this au mineta is replaced by shinso)

Yuga Aoyama - Acid

He sparkles and shines, too bad he accidentally sprays acid everywhere with his grand gesturing. He just wants to be famous! Why does he have to have such a gross quirk?

Mina Ashido - Navel Laser

Her pink skin, hair, and horns were all very eye-catching, but most eye-catching of all is her ability to shoot a bright powerful laser from her bellybutton. Only for a second though or she gets massive cramps.

Tsuyu Asui- Zero Gravity

She accidentally floats herself a lot, so holds her arms out from her body to prevent this from happening. She loves the water, but swimming through the air is almost as good.

Tenya Iida - Brainwashing

Despite not having his family's prized quirk, he's resolved to prove that he can still become a hero and uphold their legacy. He makes a point to be as honest and straightforward as possible to make up for his more sinister quirk.

Ochako Ururaka - Frog

She comes from a poor mutant family that had to face a lot of discrimination. She's going to use her frog-like powers to become a successful hero that makes lots of money to support them.

Mashirao Ojiro - Explosion

He's a pretty normal teenager, and teenagers sweat a lot. Unfortunately his sweat is explosive nitroglycerin. With a lot of training, he makes it work for him.

Denki Kaminari - Creation

He can make anything if he knows its composition! Unfortunately he's... really bad at memorizing what different things are made of. Mostly he just makes useless junk.

Eijiro Kirishima - Dark Shadow

He's a friendly and manly guy! His sentient quirk, not so much. The shadow version of himself that emerges from his body in the darkness is a terrifying quirk, but if anyone can wrangle it, he can!

Koji Koda - Earphone Jack

He's a quiet gentle guy with a tough rocky exterior. He hears everything though, with his sound-boosting quirk. And he can get Real loud when he wants to be.

Rikido Sato - One For All

He grew up quirkless, and with no great ambition other than to be kind. He gave his food to a skeletal man he met on the beach one day. They became friends, and eventually, the man revealed he was truly All Might, the number one hero. He was chosen as his successor, and now he had a motivation, to do as much good as possible by becoming the next symbol of peace. Through kindness, anything is possible.

Mezo Shoji - Invisibility

He always wears a mask. Not that it covers anything up. He's tall, buff, and completely invisible.

Kyoka Jiro - Anivoice

She's a punk-rock music lover. Unfortunately, animals can understand her, and most of the time they don't agree with her style. If you need an angry swarm of any creature that might be nearby, she's your hero.

Hanta Sero - Half Cold Half Hot

He has one of the world's most powerful quirks by total luck. Too bad he just wants to chill out and have fun.

Fumikage Tokoyami - Hardening

He has an unrelated mutation giving him feathers and a beak. His quirk allows him to turn those features to steel by hardening them to an incredibly sturdy substance.

Shoto Todoroki - Tape

The pro hero Endeavor was trying to create the perfect successor. And sometimes, a kid with a perfect split of white and red hair develops a totally unique quirk through a strange mutation. He can create tape. And shoot it from his elbows.

Toru Hakagure - Dupliarms

She's a totally normal girl! With six arms. That she can grow extra body parts on. She just wishes there was a cute guy out there with a thing for weird arms.

Katsuki Bakugou - Tail

He's determined to be the greatest. He may be pretty normal aside from a powerful prehensile tail, but that thing is a constant lashing force of destruction under the force of his rage.

Izuku Midoriya - Sugar Rush

When he was a kid, eating sugar would make him absolutely bonkers. His mother cut it out of his diet, but turns out his quirk transforms sugar into the motherlode of all rushes, granting him superhuman speed and strength. Only, afterwards, his body totally gives out.

Hitoshi Shinso - Engine

He's got engines in his legs. He's a speedster but never really figured out how to use his quirk for combat, so didn't manage to make it into the hero course. He wants to prove himself though, and worked hard for this transfer.

Momo Yaoyorozu - Electrification

She is a top-level student, her intellect is her pride. Unfortunately, if she uses her quirk too much, that prized intelligence is shocked away to nothing as her IQ drops tremendously until she recovers.

Me: "Okay, I've hammered out the way the Quirkswap Soulmate thing works. We're going with 'it happens when you meet your Soulmate'."

Also Me: *debates on whether to keep that because it'd be hilariously awkward for the Hawks and Dabi first meeting, or to make age also a factor so that Hawks(and some others) can find out that Toya is alive much sooner*

[cheshiresartblog]

Some More Quirkswap stuff

Some more stuff from my Quirkswap au. Kinda a role swap too. 

Eri is swapped with Tenko 

Bakugou is swapped with Midoroyia kinda (Midoryia has a quirk that makes more sense with his parents quirks, not explosions). 

Nana and All Might swapped order in inheritance of OFA and Nana chose Quirkless Bakugou as her successor. 

Eri’s quirk is Decay but it works similarly to her quirk in canon, as in it’s activation is signaled by her horn. She would also technically be the granddaughter of All Might. Tenko’s quirk is Rewind but it works with his hands and turns his hair white/blue when at full power. 

Not sure how Bakugou’s version of OFA works yet ngl. 

And i’m not sure what exactly the big fight with AFO did to Nana in this.

Also yes, Dadkumo is gonna be a thing. 

[comfykinz]

Hiii it's crescendo again! I loved the v flower stimboard so much, I'm back for more! I was wondering if this time I could request one for a quirkswap Bakugou Katsuki that had Kaminari's quirk instead? With some electricity or lightning stims would be super cool, and colorwise yellows and blacks are fine! Tysm for your work!

Of course Crescendo! I love doing stimboards and also quirkswaps are super cool and Bakugo with lightning powers sounds AWESOME.  I’ll get to work on this after work! -Mod Kyoko

[plusultrakincore]

Mod Deku, what's your quirkswap :0?

Nonnie, you just made me very happy, thank you so much for sending this in; I was NOT expecting this ask!! Aaa!! This swap makes me so incredibly excited to talk about tbh! I also made a stimboard for my Izu swap! -> (here) <-

❥ I have 3 quirkswap AU canons total, one for Izuku - one for Jirou - and one for Bakugou, but my favorite is the Deku one I’m shifted to rn! For this one I had Bakugou’s quirk, Explosion. My canonical father has fire-breath (fire), and Inko has an item attraction quirk (hands) and so then you have me... someone who can use their hands to create fire! It wasn’t called Explosion for me, instead called it “Fireworks” hence the firework themes and me using that emoji! I was able to learn how to control my mom’s inherited item gravitation (very weak for me, as my focus was the fire/explosions) to lift colored gunpowder from pouches on my hero costume to make it look and act like fireworks. It worked as a great distraction and it was powerful too! The quirk was great with appeal. And I’d like to think, maybe a little less scary too, fitted to my personality. All started because I accidentally blasted my sidewalk chalk when I was a child and it surprised us both! I remembered that event vividly, and what it looked like when training at school to learn new techniques, so the rest is history!

[yyrz]

meet me halfway to your heart

note: part 1 of the sorta sequel of tear the walls down, don't be stupid that i wrote for mmjr week 2018! 

weird characterizations, quirkswap au and momojirou abound! anyway here are the who’s who:

bakugo - momo todoroki - tokoyami deku - kirishima jirou - ashido kaminari - tsuyu aoyama - shouji kouda - shinsou sato - sero ojiro - hagakure uraraka - iida

ao3 link! | fic masterlist!

i.

It starts with an announcement.

“Cultural Festival preparations. Go wild.” Aizawa’s monotone voice didn’t echo like it usually does after an announcement, if only because most everyone erupts in cheers over ideas that they’d like for 1-A to do for the supposed festival the very moment Aizawa’s hand signaled the end of his part of the discussion. Iida and Bakugo are up front in that instant (as Aizawa slinks into his small corner, ignoring the chaos around him), all the while getting everyone to settle accordingly (to no avail, rambunctious as class A was).

Class A is loud in the mornings, a fact only strengthened by the amount of complaints Iida gets from other classes in other buildings about the noise levels that come from their classroom. Even their dorm is no exception — they’ve already decided to set up a mailbox for complaints that Iida and Bakugo have to go through each night. It isn’t a pretty sight to see them, both president and vice-president, hunched over mountains of papers of other students telling them to keep their explosions and general ruckus down.

They were apparently noisier than the support students, which was saying a lot.

But really, it’s to be expected from a class housing Yaoyorozu and her infamous temper — which is the lead cause for all the noise from their side of the school, along with the antics that follow her around.

And because of that (and more), Kyouka’s glad she doesn’t have Ashido’s quirk, especially in moments like this. But then, watching her classmates stand and pull attention to themselves, watching the pink-haired girl effectively make everyone look at her, Ashido is also one of the louder students of their class, so really, it feels like her little thought means nothing.

Well, Kyouka can be loud too, but only on topics that carry her interest.

A festival barely touches any of her hobbies. Well, not yet. She isn’t about to bring up the one idea swimming in her head though, so she simply listens to her classmates and their increasingly absurd activities instead.

“Maid cafe!”

“Who said that??”

Everything (from shouting to chatting to ignoring ideas) ends with Aizawa’s pronouncement that they’ll likely have a seminar if a decision hasn’t been made until the next time they talk about it. So it could be tomorrow, or three weeks later. Even on the day of the festival itself, if they dare test Aizawa. Faces fall at the thought of having a seminar. Even Bakugo frowns, and he had the strangest idea to have a study session .  

Hours after the fact, everyone’s still raving about what they might want to do, groups holding their own brainstorming session in hopes of finding that one idea to rule them all. Kyouka’s group (that is, her, Ashido and Kaminari) have ventured to watching Herotube videos, making do with vine compilations that they can maybe try? For the festival?

Her friends are idiots.

You’re an idiot too, you know. Her brain supplies, unhelpfully, as they watch a certain dish soap video for the seventh time in a row. Kaminari and Ashido have taken to quoting it, and with Kaminari’s perpetually straight face, it becomes all the more hilarious a sight.

They could do that. A comedy show.

In English? Nah. Bad idea.

Unless you tell Present Mic and not Aizawa-sensei?

Still, Kyouka laughs at their antics, making sure to loop the video again — maybe watching it one more time will give them an idea?

.

.

.

It doesn’t but at least they’re having fun.

ii.

Surprisingly, it’s Shinsou who gives them the much needed push to settle on a mini-concert slash rave, walking by just as the trio watch David question why Johnny has nineteen bottles of dish soap, with Johnny retaliating that David should mind his own business, that it’s his life (damn). Kyouka notices Kaminari fidget in his seat when Shinsou points at the autoplay thumbnail, where they can see purple and pink strobe lights flash across after hovering over said thumbnail.

Ashido brightens up at that idea at once, and she wastes no time in roping half the class into agreeing on it. Her enthusiasm encourages most of them at least — Kyouka’s certainly enthralled by how hyperactive Ashido’s become with the idea of a concert.

Actually, she’s giddy in her seat as well. Her idea is given form (verbalized by both Shinsou and Ashido), and Kyouka makes it a point to share her own thoughts that she’s well aware can help them with their show.

Kyouka adores music, what with her musician parents and their currently touring band ( The Alien’s , all five members pink-faced and ready to take on the younger generation with their post-punk pop/rock hybrid style). Kyouka would be with them, mashing keyboards and strumming guitars,  but she’d rather be a hero.

The class erupts once more in cheers, but now with the goal of performing for their schoolmates in mind.

This is actually the beginning of the end for Kyouka, but she doesn’t know about that just yet.

 iii.

 “So we need to pick people for the band,” Ashido says three days after their disastrous homeroom planning, two nights after the decision to showcase a mini-concert (courtesy of one perpetually sleepy Shinsou, who’s currently nursing a baby kitten in his arms), twirling one of her jacks between her fingers as she mumbles, deep in thought. Kyouka only half-listens to her friend, watching some sort of commotion happening within the kitchen instead, attention span stolen while Ashido continued to murmur about a song she’d like someone to hear.

Said someone is probably asleep in her own room, but really, Hagakure has always been an early sleeper compared to the rest of Class A. Something about having gotten used to her schedule at home, where she’d honed her body to a rigid timetable because of her dedication to her martial arts.

Maybe that’s why Ashido’s so smitten with Hagakure.

Said commotion, meanwhile, is really just a shouting Yaoyorozu, berating one of the boys because they touched that one cup she used that came all the way from France… or so she had said. Kyouka doesn’t know really the specifics of it other than they aren’t allowed to touch that one cup (but then someone touched that one cup and now, Yaoyorozu’s rage is an eruption waiting to happen).

Which is curious, because by this point she should be thoroughly done with the boys and cursing at them or crushing them beneath the soles of her sneakers, instead of just mildly talking to them.

Okay, well, shouting is definitely not mild in anyway, but considering who was shouting, it was still a subdued reaction.

Well, whatever. All Kyouka knows is that Yaoyorozu is pretty. She’s pretty when she’s angry, she pretty when she’s not. She just a very pretty girl that Kyouka’s been staring at for the past thirty minutes now, without ever knowing that her eyes have glazed over and her lips have turned into a smile not quite different from her usual ones.

Oh geez, she can feel her cheeks heating up just from thinking about it. That Yaoyorozu’s pretty? Yes, that’s it brain. That Yaoyorozu’s really pretty. Now stop that.

Ashido nudges her, and when Kyouka glances back, clutching her poor side from Ashido’s pointy elbow, she sees the girl wiggling her eyebrows. And really, Ashido only does that when she’s teasing… oh, oh great, was she that obvious?

“You kinda are,” Ashido tells her, laughing as Kyouka’s face brightens three more shades of red, unknowingly having said that out loud, “but also your heartbeat speeds up like crazy when you’re looking at Yaomomo, you know?” She pokes one of her jacks for emphasis, where it’s haphazardly laying beside Kyouka, slithering away now that it’s been caught red-handed.

Jeez.

Kyouka lets out a frustrated sigh, thumping her chest for betraying her like that. It only makes Ashido laugh even more, leaning into Kyouka’s space. Her earphone jacks proceed to poke the poor girl while they both watch as Yaoyorozu quiets down with the promise of a new tea cup, courtesy of the ever brooding Todoroki.

As the boys cheer for their savior, Kyouka’s mind screeches to a halt. Something in their interaction makes Kyouka frown, and the girl beside her shifts her weight, staring at their two recommended students.

“Can you imagine Kyouka? Yaomomo and Todoroki together?”

She mulls over it for a moment. Not that she needs to. “Them? Not really? I mean, Todoroki’s just so… Todoroki and Yaomomo’s—”

“The sun, the stars and the moon of my life that I wouldn’t want to be snatched away by the master of darkness?”

“Mina!”

“Kyouka!” And she’s once again laughing, while Kyouka’s holding her head in her hands. Defeated. Utterly bested. She’s usually just as hyperactive herself but when paired with Ashido, her own personality dips down because Ashido was a force of nature that no one should ever try to face on their own.

Flustered, Kyouka huffs at Ashido, turning their conversation back to their first topic. A not-so-subtle change that Ashido allows, even as her eyebrows are still wriggling in Kyouka’s direction, victory prevalent from the smirk on her face.

“Shouldn’t you look for members for the band? We still need a drummer and a pianist remember?” Kyouka says a little too loudly, an attempt to drown out Ashido’s still giggling reaction.

It works, at least, because Kirishima’s head appears from behind the sofa upon hearing that, pointing his chin to this left, “Oh hey, if you’re looking for a drummer, Bakugo here knows how to play!”

And like a rehearsed set, the demure Bakugo lifts up his own head, immersion with his book broken by Kirishima having called his name, “Ah, yes, I wanted to learn to play the drums. It’s nothing much, really.”

Bakugo playing the drums was something they couldn’t imagine, not from the soft-spoken teen. But his smile is far too wide to be kidding (and anyway, he was too honest to lie), so Kyouka thinks that she’d like to see him play a song. Maybe later, when he isn’t so busy with his book.

“And there you have it! Just a pianist and we’re all set!”

Todoroki appears behind Ashido as she all but shouts, having fled the kitchen where Yaoyorozu was making a new cup to nurse her growing disinterest of everything that’s been going on around her. Probably? Kyouka’s attention (yet again stolen) is spent looking at Yaoyorozu’s movements, fluid and practiced, so she doesn’t hear Todoroki’s words until Ashido’s (again) shouting.

“Yaomomo! You can play the piano?”

Kyouka watches as Yaoyorozu’s hand stills above her cup, eyes flaring with annoyance.

“You dipshit,” is the only thing she says, looking straight at Todoroki as he hums, ignoring how Yaoyorozu’s hands have started to pop out small explosions.

And yet, ever the brave soul that he was, Todoroki ignores those said sounds as he settles beside Ashido. “Dark Shadow and I are in agreement — broaden your horizons and engage with this class once in a while,” he pauses for a beat, before adding, “Plus, you’ve been complaining about those lessons for years. At least let me have the enjoyment of hearing your ‘supposed’ skill.”

“Why you!”

The back and forth that occurs between Todoroki and Yaoyorozu is nothing short of awe-inspiring. In one way, everyone knew that they’ve been friends even before coming to U.A., and as well as being recommended students, were closer than any one of them could be. But in another, watching Todoroki brush off all of Yaoyorozu’s angry cursing towards him is a brave enough story to feature on a daytime show. It’s just that amazing.

Or maybe it’s because he keeps on saying he wants to ascend to the heavens (or some other metaphor for death) and Yaoyorozu’s probably the only person who can do that. Kyouka’s not sure what’s going on in Todoroki’s mind anyway.

“It’s at that moment when she found out that she was fu— oh wait, cursing is Yaomomo’s thing.”

Someone slipped to sit beside her, with Ashido having left her seat in favor of bothering Yaoyorozu, who, in turn, is pestering Todoroki (who had been pulled out of his seat during Kyouka’s little daydreaming) about ‘spilling the beans’ of her apparent knowledge of piano playing.

“Who are you talking to Kaminari?”

“The audience.”

Kaminari sticks out his tongue to point at their door, left ajar by Uraraka as she fled the scene before anyone could coerce her into joining any dancing committee. Which is too bad, because Kyouka knows Ashido would have liked to see everyone dance.

Well, Ashido will be pulling Uraraka back soon. Ashido will be pulling everyone into their performance soon enough.

For now, she focuses on how weird her friend is and how pretty Yaoyorozu is.

iv.

Yaoyorozu’s phone rings in the middle of class one day.

Everyone stops doing what they’ve been doing, hearing a soft, classical tune (of Gymnopedie No. 1, Kyouka will find out after a little research) suddenly playing within their classroom. Kyouka’s gaze wanders towards Yaoyorozu, because that’s where Ashido’s looking at, and people trusted her hearing enough to know that she’s intrigued at hearing something so… calming coming from their explosive classmate.

Yaoyorozu huffs, looking at the screen of her (very expensive) phone, muttering a curse before answering it.

Good thing Aizawa’s not in the room.

“Good morning, mother.”

It’s… shocking to hear her speak so politely.

Kyouka’s eyes sweep their room, and looking around, notice everyone gaping and slack jawed towards Yaoyorozu’s direction. Except for Todoroki, who’s expression was more subdued (though Kyouka can see the subtle smirk on his face, as if he’s expecting something).

“Yes mother, no mother I didn’t take out the battered jeans. Hm, no mother, I’m not going to that party. Yes mother, I know he’s asking but I don’t want to go up to those fu— fudging people.” And it’s also shocking to hear her censor herself. Half of the class is looking at Yaoyorozu like she’ll flip her table over their heads any minute now. But she doesn’t, because it looks like she’s engrossed in her conversation.

“Who told you that? Oh, oh , the son of— I see. Thank you mother. I’ll make sure to thank him for that. Yes, yes, I love you too. Please send me that new set you bought from Italy. Uh-huh, the black with golden outlines. Sure mother, I will.”

And when she sets down her phone, she whips her head to her seatmate, seething.

“Did you seriously just tell mother that I’m playing for your shitty band?”

Todoroki, for all this posturing about not having emotions, allows his smirk to grow — and for the first time in their months together, class A bore witness to a teasing Todoroki Shouto.

“Yes.”

Yaoyorozu blinks, dumbfounded. Everyone’s expecting an explosion, but it never comes. “That settles that!” Ashido shouts just to break the silence that’s filled the room, and everything around Kyouka devolves into chaos.

All she can think about is how Yaoyorozu’s red in the face. Whether from embarrassment or anger (or something else entirely that she doesn’t want to address), Kyouka doesn’t know.

v.

Yaoyorozu’s addition to the band completes the set.

So they start practicing.

Fortunately, (and apparently, based from what information they can gather from Todoroki), Yaoyorozu can’t really turn down a request from her mom, after having been allowed to go to UA for her schooling. It was a compromise, he said, though the details were kept secret even from him. 

Dark Shadow zoomed in and out of her peripheral, adding little snippets of stories about the three of them growing up.

It’s weird to hear them from Dark Shadow, of all… people?, but the stories paint Yaoyorozu in a better light than how they all thought of her during their first few weeks together.

Dark Shadow’s stories make Kyouka imagine what it would’ve been like to grow up with Yaoyorozu. She can’t seem to get it out of her head, tales of blasting a guest’s face because they insulted Todoroki, hiding behind cupboards to evade tutors, running from their parents to avoid etiquette lessons but failing and going through with it anyway , because they were heirs to their family legacies and it was expected of them.

Compared to her own upbringing, filled with music and constant praise for her various hobbies.

She wonders, not for the first time, if it was lonely living like that. During the days Todoroki and Dark Shadow weren’t with her and she’d have to accept the inevitable as the heiress of a large conglomerate.

Then again, when explosions rock the foundation of their dorm, the thought flies away. Yaoyorozu has always been in charge of her own life, regardless of everything. Maybe that's why she's in a hero school now, training to be number one instead of trudging through a management course.

Maybe that’s why Kyouka's so enamored with the girl, who pushes towards whatever she wants, doing what she has to in order to achieve it. That Yaoyorozu isn't just a pretty face and a powerful quirk — that her drive to be the best pulls in the everyone around her, including Kyouka —

Quirkswap Event

Okay wow there’s 17 notes on that post already SO. Let’s do this. Some mysterious person in a school uniform went through the building and tapped a bunch of people on the heads. What a weirdo right?

Except now-- oh boy. Your quirk isn’t working right. In fact, your quirk isn’t your quirk at all.

It’ll wear off! Probably. Hopefully?!?!

HOW THIS WILL WORK

To participate, REBLOG THIS POST so we can spread it around

Everyone will be assigned one random quirk from someone else on the list. They’re not direct swaps. Who gets your quirk may not be the source of the quirk you get. I will be using https://www.random.org/

The effects last one IC day but feel free to run threads for as long as you want

I’ll do the first run of randomizations at 10PM EST today but if more people wanna jump in after that we can just do another batch

I’m definitely still doing these! Everyone’s having a lot of fun and I’ll do my best not to leave anyone out, so I will run another batch tonight, feel free to reblog if you want in! Also if you did reblog for earlier batches and didn’t get assigned a swap, please message me and I will rectify the situation.

I’m done with these! If you’d still like to participate, I can generate a random canonical quirk for you but that’d be it

Drop me an IM if there’s someone you would be uncomfortable being paired up with and I’ll work around it

If you end up receiving a quirk that you don’t know how to work with, or you’re uncomfortable with for whatever reason, just message me and I will randomly generate a canonical quirk for you

Still struggling with the soulmate AU fic because every time I try to start this latest POV section it just doesn’t happen. So I’m going to write down all my thoughts on a lot of plot points that need heavy thinking even though not all of them have to do with the immediate plot of the section I’m having trouble with 

So, Midoriya is a Jump main character and as such, he’s going to have plot points that inevitably involved Bakugou and Todoroki. I also wanted to pick something I straight up did not think Horikoshi would actually do in the main canon but didn’t seem completely out of the realm of plausibility in terms of tone

I also figured I had to do something to get Midoriya and Shigaraki to work together and that led to this whole idea that Shigaraki is going to be a vessel for AFO and that AFO was once Midoriya’s dad

But i didn’t have a lot of details and now I think I’ve figured out how it works: 

In this particular AU, AFO continues to be the antithesis of OFA, so instead of multiple consciousness being together passed from user to user who retains their own mind, AFO becomes a single consciousness transferred from user to user overriding who they once were. 

So when Midoriya was born, Hisashi was Hisashi and somewhere after that AFO took over his body. and Hisashi as a consciousness is no more

So it’s not really Dad for One in that AFO is NOT Midoriya’s father, but it is kind of Dad for One in that he’s currently in Hisashi’s body and looking to change to Shigaraki’s body. 

So I’m glad I figured that all out and made it make more sense. I’ll probably need to tweak the confrontation section to reflect this understanding at some point

Another thing going on is I’m stuck at about mid-week through a one week quirk swap. I might have chosen too long of a timeframe from the quirk swap or I’m just not thinking as creatively as I could about this. I kind of don’t want to change it from a week because seven days is such a nice number and I like the idea that the quirk that did it is called Hell Week. 

I think part of what’s complicating things with the quirkswap slowdown is I’m not completely sure what to do with Todoroki’s section atm. I do kind of want him to have a talk with Yagi like how Bakugou had a small talk with him several sections ago. Part of what’s complicating this is a third problem that’s related to portions of the first problem

So Midoriya has already chosen to drop out of UA and pursue a vigilante career while working to convince Shigaraki they need to work together against AFO. Once AFO is defeated, Midoriya will likely turn towards reform, because he’s starting to understand how society creates villains and realize part of how to make things safer is to create fewer villains, and you can’t do that in the current societal structure

Related to this both Todoroki and Bakugou have to make a similar choice. What kind of heroes do they want to be? Is society set up for that kind of heroism? Are they truly willing to play the game? Both of them have to make the choice to abandon the dreams they entered UA with separatly. 

For Todoroki, I think taking a track of what kind of hero does he want to be? What kind of heroes has he always wanted to be? is a good track. I would think years ago when he thought about it he would have wanted to be a hero that could make things right, who could deal out justice towards people who do bad things. I think that’s why he reacts so strongly to all the BS that comes from the Stain incident. Can he really do such things in this society? This is, after all, a hero society that allowed Endeavor to abuse his family with impunity after all and rewarded Endeavor by keeping him as Number Two and then Number One as long as he produced results

For Bakugou, it’s more complicated. Bakugou isn’t someone who would just give up or quit so easily. Drop out of school? No way. Stop being a hero? Well, that’s complicated. What is a hero? Why does society make exceptions? Does he want to be complicit? Not to mention, whether he becomes a proper pro or not, AFO is one of the biggest threats and so it is also tempting to join up with Midoriya to defeat him even if that means working with people who kidnapped Bakugou ages ago. I’ve also added some other elements of plausible hero coverups to the story to kind of push both Bakugou and Todoroki to analyze and evaluate what they really want to do with their lives. After all, if they both choose to abandon the opportunities open tot hem as part of the Big Three, if they choose not to continue working with Gang Orca and MIruko, then they can likely never have pro hero careers at least not in society as is even if they help defeat AFO

I think I also might need to back up and start both of those quandaries pre-quirk swap possibly because otherwise it might feel too rushed because the quirk swap happens in October  and graudation is in March. Midoriya disappeared in July and the latest bs happened soon after 

However, in terms of romantic pacing, having them start to question these things in October might make more sense because if they’re already questioning their hero goals when the first date plot point occurs that might make that too messy and prevent the romance plot from advancing so maybe this is a good time to introduce the hero thing now

Also a benefit to introducing the what kind of hero do they want to be thing now is it also kind of makes sense because they aren’t training their soulmate connection since Bakugou’s amped up quirk in Todoroki’s body would be bad, so they’ve got a little more free time than they normally have thanks to the quirk swap

It’s a lot to think about. I just hope that by writing it all out it’ll jump start something and tomorrow I’ll be able to write properly

Could I ask for a kin match-up from Pokémon, BNHA, AC, n maybe MLP? I'm an enby butch with schizophrenia n autism, and honestly I usually end up being the group therapist in social circles even though I have some anger issues. I try to be a supportive anchor for people around me (because a lot of them need someone like that), but I'm kind of an unorganized disaster myself. Like, more like a dysfunctional uncle friend than a mom friend. I hope that's an okay amount of info! - Ardy

❥ Hello, Ardy!! I’ll do my best! These are my interpretations and the initial vibes I get, apologies if any feel wrong!

I kinmatch you with...

★ Team Rocket’s Meowth

★ Dabi / (Touya Todoroki)

★ Apollo

★ Discord

I also thought Shouta Aizawa from BNHA, as well as Sunset Shimmer from MLP, and Team Skull’s Leader Guzma from PKMN! Even Punchy from ACNL could work too!
