Bakugo.K

he would notice the second you don’t snap back at his attitude

The flashing lights and blaring music were nothing short of headache inducing.not a single part of you could care though. Even in the sea of people moving and jumping around all you could seem to think about was him.it had easily become too much, and soon you found yourself excusing your tired self to the kitchen where last you heard he was.

once you pushed past a few sweaty drunk people your eyes immediately landed on him. he was leaned against the sink drinking something from a red solo cup.his same rbf evident as he nodded along to the music by himself.even though he was probably annoyed you dragged him here and had a migraine, he look so beautiful. faint brushes of purple and blue lights flashed across his face from the living room. shining off his blonde hair perfectly.

Maybe it was the copious amounts of alcohol you had ingested, or maybe it was simply how desperate you were for him, but you immediately strode up to him. wasting no time to reach his bored frame. “What’s up?” He asked in his signature gruff voice.setting his drink down on the counter as he turned to face you fully.

you didn't even waste a second of your air before you were grabbing the collar of his shirt and smashing your lips onto his. every part of your movements were  unplanned and messy, and you were fairly sure he could tell.

quickly he pulled apart, not out of disgust but it seemed like more confusion. “fucks up with you?” he spoke in slight shock.you simply couldn’t stand being apart from him for a second so naturally you found yourself grabbing his face and pulling him back to your lips. quickly he pulled away again.

“thought you were on your period or something?” he asked in that same harsh tone of his.voice laced with genuine confusion and concern considering just a week ago you were saying no to sex cause it was ‘that time of the month’. his eyes studied your face carefully.like he was trying to figure out the answer to his own question before you could. you knew it would be futile though. through the flashing purple lights and the

large amounts of alcohol I had consumed there was only one thing etched onto my face, desire.

your eyes flit down to his lips but you hold back for another second. deciding to explain the situation you were currently in and how you were basically gushing all over your tiny pink thong at just the thought of being remotely near him. as you went to speak, not an ounce of annoyance on your face(something which would have been very clear if it were any normal day and he spoke to you like that.) you watched his mouth form a small “o” shape. He had beat you to it.

“oh I get it now...” he said as he leisurely pulled you closer to him by your hips. grabbing a handful of your ass as he leaned in real close. “No wonder you weren’t being a brat back...” he spoke against your neck before attacking it with dark, hungry kisses. you leaned your head back slightly to give him more access. you didn’t know what you had gotten yourself into with this, but just by the way he was touching you right now, you could tell it was about to be fucking awesome.

Izuku.M

Wouldn’t notice till maybe someone who saw says it as a joke

Now Izuku is a very smart guy. He's far from some air head boyfriend or any sort of overall idiot. Yet nonetheless he could be a bit, oblivious, at times. no matter how hard you stared or how your rubbed your legs together whenever he would innocently hold your thigh, he didn’t seem to notice.

such small touches. ones that would be typically overlooked. small ghostings of his hand against yours as you guys pass through the crowd of dancing people. or his firm grip on his drink as he nodded along to some sort of music in the kitchen.his arms looking oh so ravishing in the black long sleeve under his old shirt. or maybe it was how he was slightly out of breath and sweaty from dancing. coming over to you panting under his breath ever so slightly and asking you if you were alright, he was always so considerate. he was going to drive you insane.

you guys had been in a small group of people in the kitchen. talking amongst each other about how college and hero work had been going so far.everyone laughing heartily at stupid jokes and jabs, except for you. you only seemed to have one thing on your mind. eyes not being able to rip themselves from his pretty long fingers as he used his hands to explain some new piece of his quirk he was working on. or how Adam's apple bobbed as he swung the last of his drink down, face wrinkling at the bitterness of the alcohol the same way it does when he's about to cum.

“Jesus y/n, are you ovulating or something, you look like you’re about to eat izuku whole!” jokes mina from across the two of you. everyone's faces turned to wide smiles as they typically did when mina cracked a joke.laughs leaving their mouths along with your own. it had taken the both of you by surprise she noticed. you didn’t even think you were being that obvious.but as the lighter died down and the rest of the group chatted amongst themselves izuku turned to you.

“Are you?”he asked quietly.you nodded slowly.facer red with sheer embarrassment.you could tell something in his expression shifted as you confirmed your friends suspicions.

That shift was exactly how you ended up in some random bedroom.lacy underwear being thrown across the room along with the rest of your clothes.

“should’ve told me baby...” he huffed out into your ear as his rough fingers grazed over your soaking pussy.rubbing the smallest tight circles over your aching clit.you ha really been waiting for this all night and now that it was finally being given to you, you were mess.drool pooled at the corners of your lips as your boyfriend kissed them.eventually sliding his long thin fingers into your desperate cunt.

you moaned into his mouth.the strong taste of water drink he had earlier falling onto your tongue as it covered his.his fingers moved in and out of you senselessly.he was always such a sweet and caring boyfriend, but the second he would to you needed him in any way he was like a completely different person.his eyes were dark as he went to kiss your neck.leaving a trail of bites and marks as he did so.

as you held onto his shoulder desperately for support, you could feel yourself building up to your climax faster.the knot in your stomach beginning to tighten as your needy pussy did the same around his fingers. your breathing became erratic and your moans got louder as you approached your high.you hadn’t even noticed how he had pulled down your tube top and was now sucking on your perky tits.he looked up at you as you came undone on his fingers.eyes glossed over with love and lust.he really was fucking beautiful, it wasn’t just the ovulation speaking.

Denki.K

is basically ovulating with you

as soon as he saw the skimpy dress you chose to wear for the party he was hooked on you.eyes never leaving you and your figure the whole night. he was trained on your tits when you faced him and trained on your ass when you walked away or were dancing.once you walked into the kitchen he was standing in he pulled you close to him. “You look awful pretty tonight baby,” he said smugly into your ear.a smirk painted on his lips as he did so.

“thanks” you said sweetly with a smile.trying your best to ignore the growing wetness between your legs at simply the feeling of being pressed up against him.he kissed your collar bone. a few times teasingly as you guys sat in the somewhat crowded kitchen.everyone around you being too drunk or too caught up in something else to notice or care.

as you pressed yourself further into him you could feel the bulge growing in his jeans.the feeling of his excitement so close to yours made you squeeze your legs together subtly. “wanna fuck?” he asked childishly in your ear.you weren’t even looking at him but you didn’t have to be to see the smug grin he had plastered on his face.subtly you nodded yes and grabbed his hand.pulling him off to the first bathroom you saw.you made sure to lock the door before quickly pulling him towards your and your lips.

you gripped his shirts as he kissed you back.both of your tongues moving together messily as he backed you up and sat yo on the counter.once yo guys pull apart he hastily began to take his jeans off, along with your panties which were practically drenched by now. he made no fault to line his achingly needy cock up with your entrance before pushing his hips into yours.

your mouth hung open as he pushed into you.looking up at him as he moved slowly.he knew it could be hard for you to take all of him sometimes so he always went slow to start out.your legs shook around him as he continued to thrust into your walls.large hands holding you up by your pretty soft thighs.

he quickened his pace.pushing himself further into you causing your stomach to curl and for your eyes to flutter.he was reaching every part of you that your fingers or any other guy for that matter, never could.his hips moved faster into yours.chasing his own high desperately seeing as he had been basically creaming his pants all night sincere first saw you all dolled up. “you feel so fucking good...” he whispered.chucking slightly under his breath.

“why’re you...mph-laughing?” you barely got out through his harsh thrusts and your moans.looking at him and his stupidly wide smile as he stared down at where you two were connected with confusion.

“not laughing at you...just huff I dunno...” he mumbled as you picked up his pace.biting his lip as he used the counter t stabilize himself while he pushed further intyour soaking cunt.you didn’t even career about his strange comment.lust taking over your mind as your head leaned back against the mirror behind you while he fucked into you.he made no sense a lot of the time, but boy could he fuck your brains out

Shoto.T

Wouldn’t realize at all I fear

He looked so good tonight, too good almost. He never normally dressed down so seeing him in those dark blue jeans and random tee shirt was making your eyes practically fall out of their sockets. as he talked to some people casually you couldn’t rip your eyes from his sender frame from the island  in the kitchen where you were meant to be getting the two of you more drinks.

you swore you could feel knees go slightly weak as his lips curled into a small smile while he nodded along to whatever the person was saying.before you knew it you were strutting over to him desperately.

“Hey baby, where’re our drinks?” he asked as he looked down at your empty hands. you had honestly forgotten about the drinks as soon as he caught your eye from across the kitchen

you glanced over at the people he had been talking to quickly before turning back to look into his lidded eyes. “can we uhm...go” you asked timidly.nervous for what he would say. your palms already feeling clammy just from being near him.the wetness between your legs began to pool slowly as you stood there.

he nodded quickly without question. “yeah yeah of course” he said, voice laced with concern. He took his hand into your sweaty one and began to lead the two of you out of the crowded booming house. flashing lights and drunk sweaty swaying bodies would normally make you  uncomfortable but with just the touch of his rough large hand gripping yours, your mind was plagued with utterly lewd thoughts of him.

it felt as if you had blinked and you were getting into the car. before he could speak to ask you what was wrong you were rushing my body over the center console and pulling hip lips to mine. surprisingly  he kissed you back immediately. your lips were moving in an embarrassingly desperate way that made your face go flush and body lean further into his.

his eyes closed as his tongue meticulously fought yours for further touch.it was basically routine at this point for the two of you guys considering how many times you’ve had to sneak out of the dorms to his car so you could just be alone for some time, but nonetheless the riskiness of it all made you beyond excited. the fact that anyone could see us through the clear windows of his car made your thighs squeeze tighter tightly.

as we pulled away to catch our breath you could feel the way your eyes stared at his parted wet lips. the small ragged breaths coming in and out of it making you even more enamored with the boy in front of me. “back seat?” he asked nonchalantly. even in the toughest of training your body had never moved faster to do what a person had instructed of you. you were beyond desperate.

Hanta.S

would notice, y’all would not make it to that party

He knew as soon as he saw you wear that tiny dark red thong he had bought you for your birthday just a month ago that you were looking for trouble tonight.Your short dress riding up just ever so slightly below where the root of your last pregnancy scare covered your pretty cunt. you were hoping for something tonight, and although he was going to give it to you (like he did with everything you’ve ever wanted), he didn’t know how long he could wait.

Before you two even stepped into the crowded house he had his hand placed firmly on your plush thigh the whole ride there. “You're gonna crash driving like that...” you teased.honey voice breaking through the peaceful silence of the night time drive.

“I only need one hand to drive when you’re with me” he responded smugly.smirking ever so slightly as he spoke in a way he knew would get you riled up.you had always liked when he spoke so lowly.like he was saying something he only wanted you to hear. something so seductive or dirty it would only make sense for the words to only fall on your ears.

he squeezed your thigh without thinking much of it before turning back to the road.the dark knight flashed by city lights filling the atmosphere around the two of you. he always looked so beautiful with the bright lights of the city illuminating his every feature, but tonight especially he looked utterly gorgeous.the small smirk tugging on his lips as he kneaded the plush flesh of your thigh, and the small moles that nobody else had ever gotten close enough to see, and the way his dark messy hair sat on his head so perfect. you were struggling to stay in your passenger seat to say the least.

which is exactly why you didn’t, you simply couldn’t. your bodies moved for you causing you to end up sprawled across his lap.core dripping onto his leaky tip as you hovered over him. the fear that someone might catch you lost in the haze and fog of your mind

as you stared down into his lazy eyes which twitched ever so slightly as you lowered yourself onto him.

It was truly amazing how quickly you found yourself bouncing on him.hips and knees moving quicker than normal. you were hungry, you had been waiting for this practically all night. That's not to say he wasn’t enjoying himself either, his eyes which rested in the back of his skull and his lip which had found a home between his teeth were just a few tell-tale signs he was enjoying this plenty.

eventually, as his large hand found a way to your ever moving hips, he found the control to say something “Jesus I knew you were horny but...Huff...this is like a-fuck...whole new person” he sputtered out, his head bobbing slightly to the pace you moved up and down on him. His words or what they meant hadn’t even registered in your head as you stared into his deep dark eyes, falling into them slowly, as if you were drowning in your own ecstasy you gained from just looking at him.so depraved and needy although he had been given just what he wanted.

Once you both eventually reached your highs, shaking legs and tumbling hands and all, he spoke up again. “You're ovulating aren’t ya?” he asked slyly.a smirk tugging at his weak lips once again.your face flushed at his words. not expecting him to have known or noticed, you didn’t even realize how insane you had been acting ever since you both stepped foot into the car.

“how’d you know” you asked as you backed up from where you had been leaning over on his chest.still a bit out of breath but wanting to hear his answer nonetheless.

“you just rode me  into another dimension without my help at all” he chuckled as he looked down to where you two were still connected. eyes flitting back up to your now flushed face as his lips light pecked your jaw before he effortlessly lifted you off of him and back into the passenger. looking at your fucked out blissful face once more before he reached into the backseat to grab the towel you guys used whenever you couldn’t wait till you got out of the car, which was more often then not surprisingly.

Eijiro.K

Would only know cause he tracks your cycle

As you guys got ready to go to your friends “small get together” you couldn’t pry your eyes off of him. no matter what you were doing or how much attention the task at hand required you couldn’t stop looking at  him in your shared bathroom mirror. You ended up leaning over the counter further than you needed to to do your makeup or put some earrings on.hoping that he would catch a glimpse of your red thong from your dress as I rode up slightly.

just to secure his suspicions he check his phone quickly.opening his period tracker app and seeing [you], you were in fact ovulating.without even thinking he found himself pressed against the back of you.muscular arms wrapping around your waist.you hadn’t even noticed how his fingers slowly reached under your skirt.

before you even knew it your arms were shaking as you held yourself up of the could marble counter.your boyfriends thick cock thrusting in and out of you quickly.you were honestly shocked seeing how quickly he caught on to the fact you were honey, having no knowledge of the app on his phone.his large hands gripped your hips as they aloo held your dress up, keeping the fabric bunched up just enough for him to be able to see the fat of your ass moving against him as he thrusted into you.

his leaking mushroom tip was hitting your insides so perfectly, it made you feel stupid how your eyes were rolling back as your mouth hung open slightly.fluid moans and slurred words spilling from your lips with no end in sight.your tits swaying inside of the loose fabric as his hips moved against yours.eventually they smiled out from the falling top.you swore you could see his eyes light up ever so slightly n the reflection of the mirror as that happened.

as you were too far gone tontine he leaned down to be right at your ear level. “so fuckin’ pretty, gushing all over my cock just for me...” he whispered filthily.his hard pistoning of his hips making your legs shake as they held you up.the heels you had opted to wear were making your feet oh so uncomfortable as you  stood in the same spot for far too long, but you were honestly too cockdrunk to even care in the slightest.

slowly you snaked your arm behind you to pull his neck closer to you.fingertips grazing over the edge of his hair gently.your touch ghosting over the back of his neck so delicately.he whimpered ever so slightly in your ear as you continued your movement on your fingertips.

his lips came down to suck on your neck sweetly.leaving big messy kisses to the sensitive skin as he didn't stop his movements for a split second.your poor pussy squelching around him as you sucked is cock in even further.desperate for your own release as he rubbed against your wet gummy walls.

once you could feel yourself getting close you involuntarily squeezed around him more.his hips choked at the acton but nonetheless, he quirked his pace.leaving a few harsh smacks to your ass as he pushed further and faster into you.before you knew it you were coating his cock in your stringy cum.panting as you tired your best to reel yourself in.thank God for that app.

I hope someone gets the ptv reference on sero’s :(

･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･: On the Ice *:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*

Synopsis: How I think ice skating with the Mha boys would go ❄️

Characters: Izuku Midoriya, Denki Kaminari, Tenya Iida, Katsuki Bakugo,

Genre: fluff

a/n: it’s actually starting to snow and I thought of this idea while trying to fall asleep 😭 but I didn’t know if I was gonna do blue lock, Mha, or Naruto or something else so I might do something like this in the future for a different series.

Izuku Midoriya

He would be the perfect ice skating partner.

He’s only ever ice skated once prior but he’s not entirely terrible.

You guys would get on the ice in your cute matching gloves, hats, and scarves.

He’d beg insist that you held his hand so he wouldn’t fall which is true, but he really just wanted to hold hands with you.

“Y/N I’m scared!! Let me hold your hand!!”

He really thinks he’s being slick throwing that last part in there but you play along.

His cheeks and nose would turn red because of the cold. But also because of this simple act of hand holding. The light PDA gets to him sometimes.

You would definitely be the one to guide him around the rink, holding hands as he trails behind you.

The two of you would skate slowly together, figuring out how to maneuver around on the ice and he’d give you the most lovesick gaze ever while doing it.

Overall it’s a fun experience, the atmosphere light and joyous as the you guys laugh and tease each other for falling or slipping up.

Denki Kaminari

He actually asked you if you wanted to go to the ice skating rink with him and it ended up being so chaotic.

He was so confident about his abilities on your way there, but the second he laced those skates up and you started dragging him towards to entrance of the rink..

“Wait.. w-wait, hold on. I don’t know about this..”

He gets scared and starts nervous laughing because he realizes he actually doesn’t know what he was thinking as he has no idea how to skate.

You convince him that it’ll be fine, and you’ll have fun learning how to together. He hesitates but follows your lead, not knowing what he got himself into.

He allows you to lead him onto the rink, gripping tightly onto your hand and begging you not to let go.

For a few minutes, he’s alright. He’s assures himself that he had nothing to worry about. Until the blade of his skate hitches on the ice.

Now he’s flailing around like a cartoon character, screaming like an idiot. And you can’t help but laugh.

Everything’s all fun and games until he grabs onto your coat, dragging you down with him. The two of you struggle to get up for the next 5 minutes because he unintentionally drags you back down everytime.

Tenya Iida

Before even getting on the ice, he gave you a 10 minute lecture of the dangers of ice skating, and made you promise that you wouldn’t do anything he’d consider irresponsible.

He wanted to bundle you up in excessive pads and take extreme safety measures but you were able to convince him that the place you were going was safe and nothing would happen.

He’d be so protective of you. Like he would watch your every move to make sure you didn’t fall.

Even at the slightest slip up he’ll freak out, trying to run skate over to you.

“Y/N please be careful! Do you want to give me a heart attack?!”

On top of that, he can’t skate himself. So as he’s trying to keep you safe, he’s also struggling, slipping and sliding everywhere.

He saw you slip (you caught yourself before you fell) and of course, he ran over to rescue you, but he fell right on his backside. He scrambled to get up while you clutched your stomach, laughing your ass off.

He was a little embarrassed because you were laughing at him, but he was glad that you were okay and happy at least.

Katsuki Bakugo

You brought up the idea of going to an ice skating rink and he agreed with little reluctance simply because he wanted to make it a competition of who’d be the better skater.

Although you thought you’d be the clear winner because of your light experience, you were seriously mistaken.

This boy hasn’t skated a day in his life and he’s a natural at it. It took him just 5 minutes to figure out the basic motions and movements.

After it clicked, he started moving like a figure skater. Deadass just spinning and doing jumps that he didn’t even know he could do.

“Bet ya’ can’t do this.”

Obviously you’re annoyed because how is he so much better than you? He sees this and continues to brag and tease you for a little while more but stops and skates with you.

He’ll slow down and give you tips even though he just learned (you still take them because it seemed to work for him).

He’s like a teacher, he’ll stand and watch with his hand on his hip to make sure you’re doing it the way he told you to and wont let you leave the rink until you’ve learned.

He will absolutely make fun of you for falling but will eventually help you get back up on your feet.

“Get up, ya’ damn loser.”

[loveriotss]

hihihi!! i love your shinso texts and your writing style is amazing !!! i was wondering if you could maybe do some sick headcannons with him😖😖

SICK HEADCANNONS WITH HIM ⸻ hitoshi shinso

INCLUDES — gn! reader, headcannons, fluff, slight crack

main masterlist — mha masterlist ༊*·˚

IF YOU FELL SICK . . .

when you fall sick, 90% of the time it's one that could have been avoided if you had listened to shinso's advice. perhaps you were sick today because you had gone out on that rainy day yesterday despite shinso's warnings.

shinso can tell something is wrong when you randomly don't reply to his messages in the afternoon and so he decides to visit your room.

when he finds you laying on your bed, he shakes his head and checks your temperature through your forehead with the back of his hand.

"i told you so" "shut up"

and thus the afternoon turns into shinso being your personal nurse.

he makes sure you're wrapped up in your blanket properly, closing the windows to keep out the cold air.

he'd even put on some fuzzy cat socks on your feet after seeing you try to rub your freezing toes on your blanket in an attempt to defrost them.

will not leave your side at all.

makes sure you've drank enough water and taken your meds properly.

will even cook you a nice warm soup, spoon feeding you gently.

he will nag you to take care of yourself and how stupid it was of you to go out, all while lovingly caressing your hair and being at your beck and call.

you found it a bit silly that he was getting so worried about a little cold you had, but were grateful nonetheless.

after he makes sure that you're comfortable, he will climb into bed with you despite your complaints that he will get sick too.

will cuddle with you, giving your body extra warmth until the two of you drift off to sleep.

IF HE FELL SICK . . .

whenever shinso falls sick, it's mostly because of him overworking his body while training which results in him losing his voice and having body aches.

he thinks hes soo slick by texting you that he's going to bed early so you won't know he's sick. THE shinso hitoshi going to bed early?? not possible.

in under 5 minutes you are knocking on his door. when he unlocks the door for you, you find him looking even more tired than he usually does. his room is in bit of a mess, he hasn't changed out of his uniform and your suspicions are confirmed.

after some nagging and pushing you finally got shinso down into his bed, clearing it up a bit before standing up with a satisfied grin.

"don't worry kitten, daddy will take care of you" "..leave me alone"

he still thinks he should be able to take care of himself but his body aches too much to even move so he reluctantly lets you do whatever you want.

you cook him some soup and herb tea, just like he does when you're sick.

you even put on some songs that he likes in a low and comfortable volume as you busied yourself in cleaning up his room a little.

shinso's eyes follow wherever you go, drinking his soup slowly. he has always kept to himself whenever he fell ill but having someone take care of him and his space mades him feel a bit fuzzy inside.

he won't admit it out loud though.

you stay by his side, caressing his purple locks gently, ignoring the forced glare he has on you because you were so close to him and he was getting nervous he didn't want you to catch his fever.

he's like a silent grumpy cat when he's sick, motioning that he can do things by himself but you never listen anyway.

when he does get better, he will take you out on a little date or shower you with affection. again he will not admit it out loud but he really is thankful that you take care of him when he's sick.

NOTE — helloo i didn't know if you were requesting for shinso to be sick or for the reader to be sick so i did both!!

[redwoodapothecary]

Caregiver!Tenya Iida Headcanons

A/N: This isn’t something anybody requested, but I’m really getting back into MHA, and I love Iida, so I’m gonna write about it anyway. <3

I don’t think Iida knew about age regression before he met you. But once you tell him about it, he researches more about it as soon as possible. He loves you and it sounded really important to you, so he wants to fully understand what it is.

After he’s done researching, if you don’t bring it back up for a while, he’ll just come up to you and ask you if you have a caregiver. When you say “no” he just asks “well, do you want me to be your caregiver?”

Just. Casually. Like it’s nothing.

And of course, you say yes.

It’s a learning process for both of you when you first regress around him. He immediately asks how old you are and you hold up 2 fingers.

You’re so little, he panics a little bit. But it’s fine! He learns what to do eventually.

He’s so gentle and kind. He’s LARGE and STRONG so he’s constantly worried about accidentally hurting you.

Buys you literally anything and everything you want. He’s rich, so he can afford it. He barely even looks at the price before he’s adding it to his cart.

If you ever feel guilty about it, he always assures you that it’s fine. He’s more than well off. He’s got more than enough money to handle it.

He’s VERY strict. You must got to bed by at least 10pm, wake up at 6am on school days, eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day, and drink enough water. You also have to give him an update on your day at the end of every day. And you aren’t allowed to play until you’ve finished your homework. He always helps you, though!

He loves to call you “sweetheart”. I dunno why but I think he’d use this pet name A LOT.

Always holds your hand if you guys are going in public anywhere or really just outside of either of your rooms.

Like, he’ll be gripping your hand even if you guys are just going into the dorm common room.

The first time you gave him a picture you drew/colored, he almost fainted. He felt so special. He keeps it on his room in his wall.

Whenever he can’t take care of you, either Midoriya or Todoroki take care of you. You started calling them your uncles. Midoriya makes it clear that he really likes it and feels honored. Todoroki seems indifferent but secretly is very happy about it.

Sometimes they’ll all watch you at the same time. That’s always fun. Especially when you make them play with you.

You always manage to stay up past your bed time whenever they come over.

Midoriya is a sucker and when he watches you, it isn’t hard to get him to let you bend the rules a bit.

You can’t tell Tenya, though. BOTH of you will get a lecture and Midoriya might not be allowed to watch you for a while.

Tenya likes being called parental names a LOT. But, if you just wanna call him his name or a different name, that’s fine! It’s about you and your comfort!

He picks you up. A lot. Like I said, he’s super strong. He uses it to his advantage because he knows it makes you feel even smaller.

[animegirl3476]

Another day, another discourse comparing and contrasting Shoya and Shoko’s relationship in A Silent Voice with Katsuki and Izuku’s relationship in My Hero Academia.

At the end of the day, you’ll never get a 1:1 comparison with these two cases due to the fact that 1) They belong to vastly different genres, 2) One is far longer than the other and 3) One is a grounded character drama and coming of age tale.

But…

I think that A Silent Voice provides a fairly good basis for judging the way MHA handles the relationship development of two characters, where one used to bully the other and an arc of atonement occurs. More importantly, comparisons to A Silent Voice highlight the shortcomings of Katsuki and Izuku’s relationship development and allows me to understand and actually communicate what I don’t like about the way the story handles it.

In my opinion, what sets these two stories apart in the way they handle the atonement arcs of their respective bullies is the way they portray consequences. The big “C” word tends to elicit a hostile reaction from certain fans, who assume that your idea of consequences must necessarily involve the bully character being gratuitously punished and made to suffer as retribution for their past actions. But a consequence is just the “result or affect of an action or condition” and can range in severity, it can have many different effects.

A Silent Voice uses social consequences to prompt change from its main character. Shoya’s bullying results in him being shunned by his classmates and friends, and the story goes to great lengths to show how his actions not only hurt his victim, but that they also hurt people he cared about. His mom has to reimburse Shoko’s mom for the damaged hearing aids (when she is already short on money) for example. Furthermore, the knowledge of his past is something that impacts the way others perceive him, and that change in perception is essential to his arc.

More importantly, A Silent Voice makes it clear to the viewer/reader that despite Shoko generally being a kind and forgiving person, the bullying still hurt her deeply enough to leave a long lasting impression. Shoko is receptive to Shoya’s will to change, but the story doesn’t ignore that Shoko suffered greatly and that the bullying made her sad, frustrated and even angry. Her negative emotions are not overshadowed by her desire to see Shoya become a better person.

The thing that holds me back from enjoying Katsuki and Izuku’s relationship development is the lack of consequences Bakugou receives for his bullying (which is directly connected to the way the narrative denies Izuku both agency and introspection) The hard truth is that Bakugou faces little to no consequences for his past behaviour, and one would think that such a topic would have to be brought up at some point because, ya know…he goes to a hero school. A HERO school, a place where people train to be role models, help people on a large scale and protect those who cannot protect themselves.

The first scene we see with Bakugou depicts him as the opposite of a hero. A mean bully who beats up people weaker than him, and this is emphasized by the fact that he targets Izuku, who has no means of defending himself. Despite this, he gets into UA, which isn’t necessarily a problem because it communicates a major flaw in the system that cultivates heroes (Overlooking certain problematic traits in favour of innate talent and strength) BUT, the information that he used to be a bully never comes up among his classmates in any major or lasting way. We saw his classmates, and even his new friends discuss or think about how much they abhor bullying. The students of class 1A do not like it when people abuse their strength to pick on those weaker than them…yet that never seems to connect back to Bakugou’s past as a bully.

This issue is exacerbated by the lack of attention given to Izuku’s side of the story. In stories that involve the atonement or redemption of a bully, it is CRITICAL that the victim’s side of the story is treated as something equally important to the bully’s side. It’s not something that can just be overshadowed by the bully’s side, it must be focused on in order for the atonement arc to work.

It’s disappointing that Izuku lacks the introspection that Katsuki gets, and very unsatisfying that it effectively lets Katsuki off the hook for literally every bad thing he’s ever done. The ways the bullying might’ve impacted Izuku for the worst is hardly ever discussed because every time the narrative approaches the topic, it always pivots to Izuku praising Katsuki for the things he did right. This is a big problem, because it silences any discussion that focuses on Izuku’s feelings and shines the spotlight on Katsuki instead.

Before I end my little tangent, I also feel the need to say this: Pointing to any instance of Katsuki’s suffering throughout the series IS NOT EVIDENCE OF CONSEQUENCES! Any bad thing will happen to Katsuki and people will proceed to say: “SEE?! Did you see that?? Katsuki HAS faced consequences! How can you say that he never faced consequences for his actions? Why do you want him to suffer?” It’s so disingenuous and it’s a terrible argument that refuses to criticize the text.

KiriBaku x Reader

Little MHA drabble! Would love to explore this dynamic more in the future as things come to mind.

Context: Characters are aged-up to their mid-20s! Both Bakugou and Kirishima are full-time Pro-Heroes. Reader and Bakugou were together before adding Kiri into the mix :) No physical traits are mentioned for reader, but it is assumed in this drabble that reader is AFAB.

Let me know what you think!

“Hey, Kats?” You questioned as you peered up from your book, eyes boring into the side of your blonde boyfriend’s face as he read something on his phone. Kirishima had been gone all morning while Bakugou kept you company on his day off. You two were currently sprawled on the couch, your feet resting in his lap as you read your book and he responded to important emails.

Bakugou simply hummed, letting you know that he was listening as he typed away, brows scrunched together. You wiggled your feet nervously, laying your book down on your chest and clearing your throat before speaking again. “Did you um…I mean, were you nervous when you first fucked Eiji?” You felt your cheeks heating up as you spoke, doing anything to avoid his gaze as you heard your boyfriend sigh and set his phone down before peering at you.

“Honey, you’ve had sex with Eijirou before.” He stated in a bored tone, red eyes staring you down and commanding your attention.

You finally turned to meet his gaze, gnawing on the inside of your cheek for a second as you thought your next words over. “Yeah…I guess…but I haven’t…I mean we haven’t done it one-on-one yet.” You mumbled, almost too quiet for him to hear.

“And what’s stopping you? Do you just feel like you’re maybe not there yet? There’s no rush for anything, you know, we’re getting adjusted to this new dynamic.”

“I don’t think it’s that,” You sighed, “I definitely want to. I think I just get a little freaked out because we’ve never done it alone before and the one time we all slept together, he didn’t um…I didn’t have him inside me, and he’s umm…-” Your body felt like it was on fire with the embarrassment of having this conversation. Bakugou knew from experience that you were far from being a prude, having had you in many compromising positions himself. However, you were finding that you had a hard time opening up about your nerves when it came to boning your other boyfriend for the first time. It had only been a few weeks since the two of you had decided to start dating the redhead, and you were still getting used to having two men to care for rather than one. Not to mention, the fact that you were still in the awkward stage of dating Eijirou, having to transition from being really good friends with him to something more romantic.

“Got a monster cock?” Bakugou finished for you, a knowing smirk on his face. “Don’t worry, Princess, if I can take it up the ass, I promise you’ll be okay.” He chuckles, leaning over to pinch your thigh as you squeal.

[bibibbon]

lately i’ve seen some ppl talking abt how the scene where shiggy and compress cut off overhauls arms is pointless.

i 100% don’t think so because it shows that the lov have motivations outside of destruction and dismantling society.

(you could say that their personal motivations already show that but they all relate to destruction or dismantling society in one way or another.)

ppl say that it was just to get overhaul out of the way and yeah maybe it was but my point still stands.

they intercepted the convoy not to try and take overhaul or anything like that, but simply for revenge.

(yes ik they killed a pro hero but that was just a symptom of their goal, and im more specifically talking abt the taking of overhauls arms anyway.)

the need for justice or revenge is probably one of the most human things someone can experience.

the feeling of being wronged and no one doing anything about it so you feel the need to take things into your own hands. it’s something that everyone has or will probably experience at least once in their life.

compress takes overhauls left arm as revenge for taking his own. and shigaraki takes his right arm as revenge for killing magne.

the hero’s and basically anyone who’s not in the league don’t know how much they care about one another.

they’re a family, a very strange family, but a family nonetheless.

but no one understands that, they don’t understand why they go to such lengths to save each other. because they don’t think villains are capable of feelings other than hate and anger.

so that scene shows that they cared enough about someone to get revenge on her killer. that they didn’t just see her as a random co-worker. she was their big sis, she was their friend.

tl;dr the scene (probably unintentionally knowing isayama) very subtly show the lov’s humanity. it also makes me wanna cry and throw up aggressively.

anyway thanks for listening to my rant

I can't help but think that a reason as to why overhaul was taken out by the leauge was also to get him out of the plot so he wouldn't be too op but I do actually agree and see your point.

No I don't think that the scene was useless but I do actually have some problems with the build up to that scene.

Overhaul losing his arms is ironic especially after he made compress lose an arm. Compress and the league got revenge and like you fantastically worded revenge and anger are very human emotions. The problem I have is that there isn't much material we have on magne. Her death didn't evoke much on the readers and it wasn't a huge talking point within the league. I get the point that her death was supposed to serve but I just wish that we have more material of her before she died.

Magne's death is also supposed to be the first death we see on screen so it does end up being a bit underwhelming since we're still so distant from the character.

Sure there is like one scene that shows that the league were close with magne which is when toga and twice correct overhaul when he misgenders her but then again my point stands that we needed more material before and after her death to really drive the point home.

The overhaul arc is the first true dark arc of MHA. This is the first arc where shigaraki asserts his role as leader and the parallels between overhaul and shigaraki drive that clear. At the end shigaraki is presented to be the much more caring leader whereas overhaul would do anything for his goal shigaraki actually cares for his team.

Shigarakis actions do matter because by doing what he did he shows the leauge that he cares for them and that anyone that harms them would be punished. This helps shigaraki build trust with the league, trust that he maybe lost after the training camp arc and magne's death.

Ironically this scene manages to humanise the lov in more ways than one. Yes, the league of villains are humanised by their feelings of anger and wanting to get revenge for what happend to compress and magne but we as the audience are also aware of just how much of a bad person overhaul is. We as the audience are aware of what Eri had to go through and we're also aware of overhauls hypocrisy so we look at the scene in a way which the leauge are serving both revenge and justice and we also end up feeling satisfied and joyful when we see what the league does to overhaul rendering him completely useless.

Take Care of It Myself Pt. 3 - Kaminari x Reader

Main Masterlist ~ MHA Maserlist ~ #2

Pt. 1 Pt. 2 2751 words + Denki start to go down hill after everything. Enough that, even though they're are mad at him, the Bakusquad is supper worried about him. It gets to the point where Kiri calls Y/N for help and they come as fast as possible to check on and take care of their best friend.

3rd POV

Denki had been majorly down in the dumps since Y/N had left so abruptly. He was still chiding himself for what he did and was nowhere near letting up on himself. Not even a little bit. Even though everyone else, minus Mineta, was upset with him for what he did, they were starting to grow worried. In his stupor, he began to eat less and less while spacing out more than usual. He didn’t even bother Shinsou after he joined the class. He did nothing but hold himself up in his room, wallowing.

“I am starting to get really, really worried about Denks.” Mina said while leaning against the back of the couch next to Sero. He looked up at her before nodding.

“Me too. I mean what he did was shitty but he’s really got me concerned. He’s almost wasting away.” Sero looked at the rest of the group. Bakugou was sitting on the couch across from them while Kiri was sitting on the floor. The two silently agreed.

“I’ve talked to Y/N and they’ve agreed to talk to him at some point but if I tell them how bad he is, maybe they will come sooner.” Kiri suggested.

“Yeah, but only if they are comfortable with it. Don’t force them to do anything they don’t want too.”

“Of course!” Kiri hopped up and pulled out his phone. “Let me just call them.”

“Tell them we miss them!” Mina yelled, hopping up and down. She lost her balance and fell over the top of the couch and into Sero.

“Geez Mina!” He yelped, laughing. Kiri shook his head, holding the phone to his ear.

“Hey Kiri.” The familiar voice distracted him from the other three.

“Hey, Y/N.” He went over to stand by the window.

“What’s up?”

“I know you were waiting ‘til the right time to talk to Denki but there’s something you need to know.”

“Is he alright? Is he hurt? Was there a quirk accident?” They shot off question in quick succession, barely breathing in between.

“No, he not hurt and no there was no quirk accident but he’s not alright.” It was silent for a minute.

“How bad is he?”

Y/N’s POV

I quickly jogged away from the train station towards the school. I made it to the road and saw Kiri waiting by the gate on the other side of the road. I looked both was before running across when it was clear. Kiri saw me and waved before letting me through.

“I got here as fast as I could.”

“It’s fine. I’m just glad you came.” I walked beside him as we quickly made way to the dorms. What Kiri had said over the phone was really worrying me. Denki hadn’t been this low in a long time. Not since he lost his grandfather on his dad’s side. They were very close ad it crushed Denki when he passed.

“I feel bad for…”

“Don’t. You don’t have to feel bad for protecting yourself. Denki would say the same thing.” Kiri set a hand on my shoulder, stopping me. “It proves you still care about him just by being here. So don’t be upset with yourself for any of this.”

“Okay.” We continued walking until we got to the dorms. He asked me to wait outside before going in to check on where Denki was. He stepped back out after a couple of minutes to bring me in.

“He is up in his room with Sero.” He said. I nodded and we took the elevator up. I tapped my foot impatiently. Once on the floor, we walked towards his room. I paused mid-step before his room. Taking a big breath, I tried to psych myself up to go in. “Hey. I can go in with you.”

“No. I got this. I need to be alone with him.” I assured him.

“Okay but Sero and I will be right outside if you need us.”

“Thank you.” The door was open and I peeked inside. Sero was sitting on the bed, elbows on his knees while Denki was on his balcony, looking out. His hair was completely deflated and almost dull in color. It wasn’t really noticeable from where I was standing but he had lost some weight too. I sighed before stepping in. Sero looked at me and his shoulders relaxed. He got up and met me at the door.

“Thank god you’re here.” He whispered, looking back at Denki. “We were really getting concerned about him.”

“That’s what I heard. Kiri explained things over the phone.” I said, hushed. He nodded before looking over his shoulder at the blonde for a moment.

“It’s good to see you, Y/N.” He pulled me into a side hug before giving me a swift kiss on the head. He quickly left shutting the door behind him. I took a big breath before turning to look at the back of the boy. I watched him for a moment before I noticed the quivering of his shoulders. I listened closely and heard sniffles to go along with it.

“Damn.” He was crying. I bit my lip, going back and forth with what to do before ultimately going with just giving him a hug. I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, burying my face in his back. I felt him freeze up in my arms before the quiet sniffles turned into full on sobs.

“Fuck…” He gasped, grabbing onto my arms for dear life. I could feel tears fighting their way up at the sound of his sobs. His legs seemed to give out slowly as we descended to the floor. I let him cry as long as he needed to. After a while of us just sitting here, he calmed down enough to catch his breath. I went to move away but his already tight grip got tighter. “No!”

“Shh. I’m not going anywhere. I promise. Just come inside. It’s getting cold and you don’t need to be out here. Please come with me.” It took him a minute before letting me go. I took my arms away before immediately sticking a hand out in front of him to help him up. He grabbed it with both hands and got up on shaky legs. “There we go.”

“Y/N…”

“Shh, shh. Come on.” I pulled him inside. Shutting the door, I guided him to his bed. Upon sitting down, he wrapped his arms around my middle and buried his head in my stomach. I paused in surprise before running my hands through his hair. I grimaced at the greasy feeling and the knots but kept going anyway.

“I am a hypocrite.” He mumbled but I could barely catch it.

“What Denks?” He gasped and hiccupped before looking up at me with glassy eyes.

“I am a hypocrite. I need you as much as you need me. I’m just too much of a coward to say it.” He started sobbing again and I got on the bed with him. He curled up in my lap. “I am so, so, so, so flipping sorry! I should have never had said that. It is by no means true in anyway. I was just g-getting so overwhelmed with everything. Aizawa and grades, my grandmother being her usual self, and Mineta getting on my case for something that was none of his business just made me shut down basically.  I, I, I didn’t mean what I said but…”

“Denki, hey, calm down please. You’re panicking.” His breathing pick up tremendously and I pulled his head up to see his eyes blown way out. I made him sit up and put his head in the crook of my neck. “Breath for me Denks.”

“But, but…”

“No, no. Sh. We can talk later when you’re better. You’re already way too far gone for this right now. It’ll be too much.” I nuzzled my cheek against his head.

“Okay.” He nodded before relaxing into me more and trying to slow his breathing. I started to take big breaths and he began to match them.

“Alright, there we go. Once, you get calmed down and relaxed. I want you to go take a nice long, hot shower okay?” He nodded. “While you’re in the shower I am going to make you some food. You need to get some food in you.”

“Alright.” After agreeing with me, we were silent until his breathing went back to normal and the crying subsided. I got up and went to pick out some clothes for him to change into.

“Come on.” I pulled him up and handed him the clothes. Leading him out of the room, we were met with Kiri and Sero, keeping true to their word. “Hey guys. Can one of you go with Denki down to the showers? Just don’t want him alone right now. I am going to go make him his some food.”

“Yeah, course. I’ll go with him.” Sero said, pushing off the wall.

“Thank you.” I smiled before all 4 of us made our way downstairs. Bakugou, Mina, Uraraka, and Midoriya were all in the common room when we made it down.

“L/N!” Midoriya called in surprise. I smiled as the others turned to see me. I waved but kept guiding Denki towards the showers.

“I’ll take him from here.” Sero said before wrapping an arm his shoulders. Denki grabbed my forearm gently, looking at me with puppy eyes.

“I’m not going anywhere. I am just going to be in the kitchen. I promise.” With that assurance, he finally let go and I went into the kitchen. I looked around to see what we had to make.

“Making something for Spark plug?” I turned to see Bakugou coming in. Nodding, I rummaged through the pantry. “I think we have some stuff to make burgers. I know there his favorite.”

“Okay.” We worked silently together to make the burger. He insisted on making enough for both me and Denki, arguing with me that I need to think for myself too. By the time we finished, I could hear Denki talking to someone in the common room. “Thanks Bakugou.”

“Whatever.” He muttered but I could see the ghost of a smile on his face. I took the plates and walked through the room. As I entered, I heard Denki’s faint laugh. Looking up, I saw a small smile on his face as he talked with Midoriya.

“He’s feeling better already.” I jumped slightly before looking to my right to see Kiri standing there. “You two seem to have that effect on each other.”

“Yeah.”

“You know, once everything is okay between you two, you should really tell him how you feel about him.” I looked at him stunned.

“W-what are you talking about?”

“L/N, I have gotten to know you both really well. I can see how you feel for him.” He said. There was a flash of emotion in his eyes. It almost looked like sadness or longing. “I am pretty sure he’s going to return them. So go for it.”

“Alright.” I agreed slowly with a nod.

“Y/N?” Denki’s voice distracted me.

“Come on. Let’s go back up to your room to eat. Okay?” I asked him. He nodded and I notice his still soaking wet hair. Sighing, I led the way. Once up in his room, I told him to sit on the ground next to his bed. I handed him his plate and set mine aside. Grabbing his towel from his neck, I began to softly dry his hair.

“I am a hypocrite.” I paused for a second as he repeat his statement from earlier before continuing. “Here I am sitting here, need you to take care of me while I said it was annoying that you needed me to do the same things for you.”

“A little bit yeah.” He sighed, letting his head fall back into my lap.

“I blinded myself from seeing how much we need each other because we need each other for different reasons. I told myself that you needing for my help for you social anxiety was irrelevant and annoying. But if that was the case…me needing your help with my depressive states would be just as irrelevant and annoying to you.”

“Denki…”

“No, please.” He took a shaky breath. He reached up and grabbed my hand tight. “You have never been a nuisance to me and I could never get tired of helping you. I never wanted to make you feel like you couldn’t come to me when you got anxious or run down. I messed up just because I wanted to try and act cool. I should have never played into Mineta’s words and defended you like I always do. I am so sorry, Y/N.” He had his eye scrunched up, afraid of my response.

“Denki.” He closed them ever tighter. I smiled a little bit before leaning down and pressing a kissed to his forehead. His eyes shot open and looked at me in shock. “Thank you for apologizing. I am not going to say its fine because it isn’t but you’re forgiven. You still have to earn my trust back though.”

“Of course.” He turned around on his knees to look at me. “I’ll do whatever it takes. I promise.”

“Okay.” I smiled.

“Now you eat too.” He reached over and grabbed my plate, handing it to me.

“Thank you.” We both began to eat silently. After we finished, Denki set the plates on his desk. I sat back against his pillows and he set his head in my lap again. I began to run my fingers through his now clean hair. After about 15 minutes of silence, I figured Denki had fallen asleep. “I love you Denki. With every fiber of my being. More than just a friend.”

“Ep!” He stiffened in my lap and I froze.

“You’re awake?!” I gasped.

“Yes!” He sat up and stared at me. I blushed and looked down. This wasn’t the right time to confess my feelings. I felt him gently grip my chin and lift my head. “Did you mean it?”

“Yes. I did. I’m in love with you.” I said. He stared at me for a moment before leaning forward to kiss me. I gasped before kissing back softly, cupping his face.

“I love you too.” He said breathlessly as he pulled back. Tears prickled my eyes as my heart swelled. I giggled and pulled him into a swift kiss. He laid back down in my lap and I could basically feel the joy radiating off him. “You know, I had thought you had a crush on someone else.”

“Who?” I asked.

“Kiri.”

“Kiri?” I said surprised.

“Yeah. You two got close and I saw how you were getting comfortable with him around, so I thought it was possible. Plus I know he does have a crush on you.”

“Really?” He nodded. I was stunned but thought about it. The sad emotion that went through his eyes earlier made more sense now. “Oh.”

“You okay?” He turned in my lap to look up at me. I nodded.

“I hate breaking his heart. He don’t deserve that.” I said solemnly. Denki got a sad look on his face and nodded. He sat there quiet before a spark of an idea lite up in his face. “What?”

“Maybe we don’t have too.”

“What do you mean?” I was confused.

“Don’t worry about it for now.” He kissed the tip of my nose. I saw the look of Denki Kaminari mischief in his eyes and decided to leave it alone for now.

“Okay.” I sighed before Denki yawned. “I think it’s time for bed.”

“Yeah.” He sat up and we moved to get under the duvet. This wasn’t the first time we have shared a bed so it wasn’t awkward. He set his head on my chest and held me tight against him.

“Goodnight Denks.”

“Night babe.” He fell asleep for real this time and I chuckled on how quick he was out. Someone poked their head in and I saw the red hair.

“How you doing?” He asked.

“Shh.” I shushed him. He grimaced and cover his mouth. He chuckled and gave me a smile with two thumbs up. He shuts the lights off for me and closes the door behind him. I watch him go and sigh. This only made me wonder what Denki had up his sleeve with Kiri now.

why do I see more art dedicated to overhaul than AFO this is just so wrong.

I mean yeah overhaul was a great villain but- 😭🙏🏼 AFO IS BETTER

and he’s basically main protagonist (it’s sort of hard for me to tell whether AFO or Tomura was because in the end, AFO WAS the last final bad guy to beat- the big bad boss right so??)

I WANT MORE FANART OF AFO WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US

Urggfggg ya AFO is the final VILLAIN for sure. Tomura may be the main antagonist but AFO is literally the antithesis of every important thing that ever happens in MHA so he’s the true final villain. It’s pretty clear that Tomura’s main conflict with Izuku was supposed to result in him being saved, not defeated (sighhh). I don’t really have a grasp on how popular overhaul is, but maybe people like him more as a villain because he directly fought with Izuku? And his aesthetic perhaps. You have to be obsessed with the narrative to be obsessed with AFO, cause a lot of his appeal is that he lurks in the background for most of the story, but has an undeniable effect on everything nonetheless. But the mha fandom notoriously doesn’t care about any of that so 😞

Hello!! May I have a matchup for Demon Slayer? I've sent my info over once before in the post linked below! Once again, adults only!

And if possible, may I have a 2nd MHA matchup, women edition? In a girl-kissing mood

https://www.tumblr.com/kaycode1999/766180140429492224/hihi-could-i-have-an-mha-matchup-im-super?source=share

Sure!

Demon Slayer

Mitsuri Kanroji

My Hero Academia- Female match

Sirus

It’s nice that they are both cheerful, calm and peaceful people. They are the type of person that they make those around them more comfortable and calm just being around them

They don’t go to loud, crowded and fast paced environments too often but if it’s unavoidable they’ll be there to help you through it

It doesn’t take long to build that trust within the relationship because they both make it super clear they care about you and want you to be in their lives. They are understanding and patient about getting you to the point where you have that reassurance

That doesn’t mean they don’t try to build up your confidence in every aspect though. they love you and want you to love yourself just like they do

They both find your unhinged side amusing

Mitsuri rambles as much as you do so you both ramble to the other while other will smile adoringly

Sirus isn’t as much of a rambler, but she loves to listen as you go on about whatever

They love reading the essays you send them and the people they work with will know when they get an essay from you because they will be looking at their phone and smiling. They get teased over it but it’s in good fun

They also really enjoy learning about the niche things you are interested in

They find the art and writing projects fascinating, but if you need help finishing them they will remind you of them. But that’s only if that’s something you want

They both think the sleepiness is adorable, once they make sure there’s nothing wrong causing it of course

They both love physical affection to

They find the fact that you love kids endearing and they both also love kids

They both love animals in general, so any animal is good

[dekusleftsock]

Waking up in a cold sweat thinking about all the parallels in MHA and how everything comes around full circle; and we’re seeing it especially prominently right now in the Togachako plotline, where Ochako and Uraraka are both doing the same things for each other that they’ve done for Deku, but with positive outcomes. (One example: Uraraka grabbing Deku to calm him did not work, but it worked with Toga). Realizing that the one thing that hasn’t come around yet is Himiko asking Ochako to be her girlfriend, like she asked Deku to be her boyfriend. Despite her clear and known feelings, she’s never actually straight up asked. And if the pattern continues as Himiko and Ochako having better results with each other than they ever had with Deku; than the only possible outcome is for Ochako to say yes….Hori what are you doing

ITS SO

It’s

ITS SO SO BAOSBSISKSIHAHSBBSBBSBDHHDH

I’m so excited to see togas reply, I’m so excited to see deku vs shigaraki’s fight, I’m so excited to see how bakugou is resurrected, im so excited for everything.

Regardless of everything, I know it in my heart Himiko is gonna ask her to be her girlfriend, will you accept her Ochako? Will you become selfish in the face of a society that expects you to be on a constant performance?

I live in a very pessimistic view of the world, I try NOT to have it and it’s the reason why this account has always tried to stay hopeful. It’s why I try to constantly convince the people around me. All so that I can ask the question, “Do you really think this will happen?” And the answer has more recently been “Yes”. It feeds me into a cycle I created in order to become a more positive person. I think being pessimistic and angry at the world is common for people of my age group, hell, even people into their 20’s, maybe even 30’s. It can fester deep into adulthood, possibly the rest of your life. Negativity and hopelessness thrive in the absence of support and love.

It’s that same lesson mha tries to teach us. Pessimism and ego are the root to the problem, whatever that problem may be. From controlling human emotion, being overly, even unnecessarily sacrificial, holding your power back, not being able to see your own limits, being in love, all of it has always been something solvable through love and support.

I think all of the problems I’ve listed, along with all the characters they’re tied to, are in one way or another tied to ego or pessimism.

And it’s THIS that I keep on loop in my head. The selfishness, parallels, evidence, whatever the fuck doesn’t matter half as much to me as trying to control what power I have over the story—which is how I react to it. It doesn’t matter if I’m right or wrong, it doesn’t matter if this all tears down in a wonderful hellscape of a fire and I get my ego burned for a few weeks, what matters is that I let myself be HAPPY about something, even if that something is not guaranteed. This whole thought process hits so much closer to me right now. It’s something I’ve thought for… basically the entire time I’ve been on tumblr, but it’s been on the back burner because for the first time I’ve realized there’s no more time left. Mha doesn’t have a billion chapters leading up to this fight at all, Toga and Ochako are having their ending story right now. No matter how much I find, no matter how much I theorize, it ultimately doesn’t MATTER ANYMORE.

And yet, I still don’t care. It all comes back in an infinite circle, back to the original ideas the story has always tried to keep within itself. Just like I have kept my ideas on the back burner until now, mha has kept its romantic ideas on the back burner too; this is the true cross roads, this is the final answer. All eyes are on you horikoshi, you have all the power right now to make or break everything.

In a lot of shows where romance is like, the furthest thing away from the priorities of the show like Avatar, Gundam, shonen series in general (Naruto, MHA, Bleach to name a few) and so on, canon couples tend to be incredibly half baked especially when the characters have far more and stronger interactions with like literally everyone else. Like even with Bleach where the one that makes the most sense for Ichigo was a het ship it still didn’t happen so it isn’t just in places where M/M F/F pairings wouldn’t happen or in GWitch where an F/F paiting was canon Suletta had far more chemistry with either Nika or Chuchu than Miorine.

While I don’t necessarily agree with some of this (I really liked Suletta and thought they had a lot of really cute moments, and Ruchigo was fun for the start of Bleach, but I understood Ichihime when it happened), you are absolutely right on romance not being AtLA’s strong suits.

This isn’t necessarily a problem, mind you, (there are way more interesting things to talk about in Avatar than ships). You can really tell Bryke was trying to make it clear who were and were not going to end up together by the end because they didn’t want to focus on it a lot, and having that sort of end goal is important to have (see: LoK’s romance that dragged on and on because they kept changing their minds on what the endgame couples were going to be).

The problem is most of the romance for the actually canon pairings just doesn’t feel very fun or good. Kataang is a perfect example of this. Zutarans are wrong to say that Kataang makes no sense. Of course it does; it's literally built up from the very first episode of the show, but it doesn't feel… romantic. Not to say they didn’t try (and try and try) but I never feel particularly moved by, or invested in, Aang and Katara's romance. I cared about their relationship, but their romantic relationship didn’t have… spice(?) if that sounds right. There's nothing engaging or moving about the numerous things the show does to bring them together. I didn't feel any great sense of triumph when they kiss at the end of Sozin's Comet. There was no point in their romance that I ever felt anything.

And considering how, despite being the canon pairing, Kataang only accounts for maybe 10% of the AtLA fics on AO3, a lot of people agree with the sentiment.

MAN this was HARD!

Let me know in the comments if you agree…or disagree!

(Midoriya, Bakugo, Aoyama, Sato, and Koda were hard to find a CLEAR NXM equivalent!…Also Hellion doesn’t really have a clear 1A equivalent but I think Shindo suits him better than Bakugo…I wasn’t really sure any of them fit Loa’s powers OR personality well either…)

Hellion- Momo because they look alike, both grew up wealthy, and are pretty strategic people…Yo Shindo for pretty OBVIOUS reasons…and Monoma because he’s a pain in the ASS 😂

Rockslide- Kirishima because of powers and obsession about being “tough” (remember Santo WANTED to be a pro wrestler!) and Mineta because Rockslide was sometimes just the WORST 😂

X-23- Both were more or less “manufactured” in a way and have tragic backstories…Laura IS both cold AND pretty LOYAL. Both are tacticians and I would say Todoroki’s flaw of not always communicating with others is Laura’s to a tee…

Mercury- Personality wise and looks, she’s definitely Itsuka (both tend to take care of everyone else/have an “older sister” mentality); power wise she’s probably closer to Tetstutetsu and a bit of Seto when she essentially liquid metal…

Loa- I don’t really feel like there’s a CLEAR character similar enough to Loa…Mirio has similar powers (more close to Kitty than Loa…) and I said Momo again, since both rely heavily on the body to use their powers…

The Cuckoos or Kid Omega- the closest to Telepathy is Hitoshi’s brainwashing power, and in MHA Hitoshi is often mistrusted because of his powers creepiness factor…although I like Hitoshi WAY more than QQ…

Quill and Wolf Cub- I said Sato since Quill and Wolf Cub are pretty nice guys in academy…I definitely could see Quill being into baking too! Wolf Cub is a little more pessimistic…but I couldn’t think of a clear equivalent except for Aizawa or Tamaki…

Wither- While Kevin is probably closest to Hitoshi personality and look wise…obviously his clear doppelgänger is Tomura (especially after Wither went bad…)

Rubbermaid- Besides Danjuro, I said Seto since both work for long distances. Also Itsuka power wise.

Prodigy- Midoriya OBVIOUSLY in terms of intellect and being central characters, Iida because BOTH are major rule followers, and Ken for tactical skills.

Icarus- OBVIOUSLY Hawks!

Gentle- Midoriya in terms of lack of power control/his powers harming his body, rushing head first into danger, and being pretty heroic; I would also say Koda since both Nezhno and him are gentle giants!

DJ- Aoyama just because both are pretty flashy characters 😂🤣

Indra- I said Ojiro since both are pretty mellow characters…

Elixir- While the obvious equivalent power wise is “Recovery Girl”; I would say the closest to Josh’s personality is Bakugo…both are hot heads, intelligent, and prideful.

Match- Bakugo is probably the closest or Toya power wise; while Ben IS a hothead…he’s not really Bakugo levels and probably would be Aizawa personality wise AGAIN.

Wind Dancer- Uraraka or Inasa…both are SUPER peppy people…so it fits (and Inasa is SUPER stubborn…and Sofia depended on David much like Uraraka does on Midoriya) 😂🤣

Dust- the closest in terms of power and personality would be Tokoyami, both are pretty stoic and calm under pressure (there’s also a character called “Dust” in MHA that’s similar power wise but not really in personality)

Pixie- OBVIOUSLY Ashido in looks and personality…although Ashido spits acid instead of Pixie Dust 😬🤣

Anole- OBVIOUSLY Asui!

Wallflower- while Midnight seems closer power wise…Toru is definitely Laurie in terms of personality and adorableness!

Trance- similar to Tokoyami power wise and Toru personality wise.

Surge- Kaminari in powers and DEFINITELY Jiro in looks and personality 😂🤣

Armor- Iida, DEFINITELY Iida 😂… Hisako is a pretty “by the book” person! (She and David TOTALLY would have been class Presidents if that was a thing in X-Men🤣😂) I also said Itsuka because she’s a bruiser as well.

Tag- again a softy like Koda. Since it was never clear whether tag was low level telepathy, maybe Hitoshi as well a bit…

Bad Habits

Warning: mentions of smoking

Please note I do not have clear knowledge in how addictions work, this was just an idea I thought was good enough to explore between Chikara and Cementoss. 

This happens BEFORE Chikara and Cementoss are offically together, that’s obvious towards the end of the story but wanted to clarify this at the start to avoid confusion. Also it’s late as of posting this so sorry for any spelling errors I might have missed while proof reading

(My Ectoloader slightly spicy fic is still in the works, so in the meantime have this Chiktoss story to supply you with some MHA content! 

All the Higari children have smoked at some point: Higari smoked once when he was in UA mostly due to peer pressure and hasn’t touched one since, next to him Taiho smokes the least. Chikara and Suru smoke occasionally when work gets stressful and Hono smokes to take his mind of things. Kaigo - their dad - used to be a heavy smoker before he married which was a large contributer to his deteriorating health so Magakure doesn’t like smoking in the house)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“This space free?”

Cementoss hummed and turned his head up, he hadn’t heard anyone approaching until the owner of the voice was only a few feet away. Inside the teachers dorms Higari and rest of his siblings had come down to visit, they would be leaving soon for some kind of outing (Cementoss didn’t know what exactly). But he had excused himself earlier for some peace and quite outside, he wasn’t used to the teachers dorms being so noisy, and he’d always preferred the tranquil moments.

Standing outside the doors to the teachers dorms was one of Higari’s many siblings - the red haired and, to his knowledge, older sister of the two he had

“Sure”

She smiled with a nod and took a seat on the steps outside of the teachers dorms while Cementoss turned his attention back to what had been occupying him moments ago.

It was funny how someone with such large, rough hands could be such a gentle gardener.

He remembered Midnight had laughed when she first found out about his hobby, in good humour apparently, as the next day she’d ask Cementoss if he’d help her restore a rose bush back to health. He hadn’t even known about the rose bush until Midnight had shown it too him just to the right of the building.

Cementoss’s hands gently moulded the soil around the new plant, taking great care to make sure he didn’t break the green steam already sprouting up to the sky-

He stopped all of a sudden when a strong smell hit his nose, if he was in the city, it wouldn’t have bothered him as much. But to smell smoke in an area largely made up of trees: didn’t exactly reassure him

He turned his head - the women behind him exhaled a slow drag of smoke, head leaning back as she watched the cloud of smoke disappear above her. She brought the cigarette back to her lips and Cementoss watched as the end glowed brighter as she inhaled

“...You want one?” She asked, easily blowing the smoke through her nostrils before producing a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and shaking them in Cementoss’s direction.

“Uh-“ Cementoss politely shook his hand “No, I don’t smoke”

She shrugged “Aight” she returned the packet to her pocket. Reaching for the cigarette she pinched it between two fingers and tapped the ash from the end away, Cementoss watched it fall into a small pile on the step

“I thought Higari and the rest of your family didn’t approve of smoking?” He didn’t mean to eavesdrop, he had just happened to walk onto the ground floor and past them at the time in which that topic had come into their conversation, and they happened to be talking loud enough for him to hear. He also could have sworn Higari had strong opinions on it too.

The stranger hummed “..Uh, yeah I guess you could say that” They said casually. Cementoss wasn’t sure, but he was certain there was a hint of hesitance, as thought they were shy to admit he was right

Cementoss hummed, eyeing the cigarette in her hand “..You know smoking is bad for you right?”

They paused mid reach to return their cigarette to their lips, she looked to Cementoss who stared back calmly.

The silence was broken when she snickered, leaning forward to rest an arm on her knee

“Hah..getting lectured by a hero” she brought the cigarette to her lips, taking her time to inhale, her body relaxed as she blew out another slow cloud of smoke “Yeah, I know..” she admitted “..We all know” she added as an afterthought

We??

“I didn’t know Higari smoked”

The women let out another snicker, louder this time “Higari?” She repeated, shaking her head “Nah, I mean, not since his third year apparently. He’s not touched one since”

Oh, well this was new information he was hearing

“Then, do your other siblings smoke?” Cementoss wasn’t sure what can of worms he was cracking open, or if he should tell Higari any of this, if he knew at all that his siblings smoked. However the women occupying the steps looked like she was already thinking of her answer, fingers tapping on the step. She was quite, eyes on the floor, debating “...Sometimes” she finally answered

Cementoss tilted his head with an obvious question in his eyes

Her half lidded eyes were trained on the cigarette as though she was in a trance, or maybe it was easier to look at that then make eye contact with her company. But she’d go with the trance bit.

“Sometimes we need to take the edge off, let’s go with that”

Cementoss was no expert, he certainly had no personal experience with cigarettes. But he’d been a hero for a while, and had been in a handful of cases back in his early years concerning addiction. And the reason ‘to take the edge off’ didn’t spawn a sense a ease.

Cementoss’s brows narrowed by an inch

“There are other things you can do to help with that” he said gently, not wanting to fan a flame, or start one “..More healthier ways” he added while eyeing the thin tower of smoke rising from the cigarette.

She rolled the cigarette between her teeth and leaned back, eyes skyward - then, smoke poured from a parting between her lips. She pulled the cigarette away, tapped the ash off the glowing end, then continued to hold it “Yeah, I know” she said, almost robotically, as though reading off a script

“I hear it all the time from Ma”

“I assume she’s against it then?”

“Very” Her eyes widened as she emphasised the word. She could remember the first time her mother caught her smoking, vividly:

It’d been around three months since she took over the car workshop and business had been falling behind, they where scrapping by bills and shopping by the skin of their teeth, but just barely. She’d stolen one of Hono’s packets - he kept a secret box of em under the floorboards in his room, but they all knew about it - she remembered she struggled to light the stupid thing, Hono only had one lighter which he always kept on his person so she had to use matches.

When she finally lit the thing she’d made the mistake of smoking too close to the house, which had been her undoing when her mother rounded the back of the house to call her in for dinner

“I was on house arrest for three days and had to do the dishes for the rest of the week” The punishment hadn’t been the issue, it was the way her mother had snapped at her that had stuck, and that awkward, tense silence that followed between them days later.

Stubbornness ran in their blood, as did a furious temper, Chikara was no saint and had her fair share of grown up tantrums so to speak. Her mother, though possessing as much bark, always had this steady, calm, authoritative presence along with her anger. The type of anger that could be conveyed with a single, sharp glare and shut down an argument at dinner before it even started.

Her mother had yelled at her plenty of times sure, her and her siblings drove her up the walls plenty as kids (sometimes as adults too): Like that time she’d forgotten about the running bath upstairs when she was 10 while her mother was outside gardening and the bathroom flooded the hallway and stairwell. Her mother had a very passionate reaction to that mess.

Or that time as a teenager when she had taken her mother’s credit card to buy herself some sweets - in her defence her mother said she was gonna buy em anyway, so she figured it technically didn’t count as stealing - her mother had not been happy.

And that time she’d crashed her first ever car into a ditch at 18 while taking a short cut, even after her mother warned her about that particular road. She’d nearly broken an arm, her mother didn’t let her touch a steering wheel until the car she crashed had been repaired.

And yet all those scolding's where nothing, compared to how angry her mother had been when she caught her smoking.

“And your other siblings?” Cementoss asked, remembering how she had said we earlier “Does your mother know that they smoke too?”

Thinking a moment she leaned her head back with a hum “Knowing her, probably”

“And Higari?”

Chikara looked as if she’d seen a ghost “No! God no” she rolled her eyes with a groan, clearly Cementoss had unintentionally stepped on a sour spot - if the evident annoyance in her tone and expression meant anything that is. “Higari did mention he disapproved of smoking one time, I didn’t know the dislike was a family thing”

“It’s not--“ She started, then stopped. It looked like she was going to say something, but dropped it and changed her mind at the last minute. “If he knew, I’d never hear the end of it.” She frowned “EVER” Another pause, then her eyes widened, and she snapped her gaze towards Cementoss, so quickly it almost made him jump

“You’re not gonna tell him right?”

There was clear suspicion in her tone as her eyes narrowed at him, from her position up on the steps she was only just able to look down at him, if Cementoss had been standing she would have had to crane her neck just to make eye contact. Cementoss quickly held up his hands to appear and shook his head “It wouldn’t be my place to say”

She scowled at him for three more seconds, before looking away, her scowl - though not focused on him and not as extreme as a few seconds ago - now looked down at her feet as if they where more interesting then the point she had left off on

“Higari can just be a little..” she did a motion with her hand as if struggling to find the words

Cementoss titled his head “Protective?..”

A smile passed over her face “I was gonna go with something like smothering, over bearing, a worry wort..maybe I’ll call him mothering if I’m feeling generous” she had begun to count on the fingers of her spare hand, before she lowered it to rest back down on the step “But, yeah, over protective. That sums it up”

Cementoss could understand that, from a hero’s perspective. Higari was more on the side lines then the lime light when it came to the line of work, but being protective of your family when your work had you face so many threats to your well being came with the territory. The same with being an older brother, though he couldn’t speak from experience with that one

“I’m sure he doesn’t mean to be a bother, Higari is just a very straight forward person.” He knew Hatsume was one person who would confirm that for him “I’m sure his over-protectiveness comes from a place of love and care for you and the rest of his siblings”

She gave him a sideways glance, her scowl lifting ever so slightly. She looked back towards the cigarette and it’s dying trail of smoke, her fingers gripped it a little tighter.

She sighed “Yeah, I know..” she said dejectedly “It’s just..I dunno” she looked lost, her gaze distant, like she was in a different place “Ever since he came to UA things at home just got so...different?” She sounded as sure as she looked, but Cementoss said nothing, sensing she had more to say

“After the whole drama with dad and his passing, when Higari came here it...I dunno it was like, Mum felt like she was loosing someone else?” She had began to gesture with her hands, at first only slightly, now they where becoming more obvious as the emotional gates opened more and more “And then Hono fell off the tracks, Ma barely had it together, and no one knew what the hell to do with the family business!”

“Car repairs isn’t it?” Cementoss remembered Higari mentioned it in passing conversation on a separate occasion

She nodded “Those first few months getting the business sorted, putting dads stuff away in storage or chucking it to the dump, taking care of Suru it was all so...much!” She almost dropped her cigarette with how aggressively she had thrown her arms out “And Ma wasn’t in any state to be our therapist, she barely had herself together trying to adjust to everything! And our Uncle he-...He just didn’t-“ she had that face again, a face that suggested she was struggling to find the right words, Cementoss noticed how her nose scrunched up

“Well, he wasn’t as good at being an Uncle back then, he had his hands full with Hono and..well—” Chikara trailed off, breathing laboured through her nose...then she realised how much she had said, how many wounds she had just exposed to this guy.

To her brothers work colleague who she barely knew

The embarrassment exploded in her chest just as much as it did her face, wishing for the universe to have mercy upon her and have a stray meteor enter the atmosphere and obliterate her on the spot. A quick and painless death.

“God I-“ she rubbed a hand over her face, hanging her head to avoiding looking at the hero across from her. She couldn’t believe she said all that! “Sorry, that got deep for no reason..”

Cementoss had the same expression as before: calm, unbothered and - to Chikara’s despair - unreadable. “It’s no bother” She groaned, god just kill her now. Let the ground swallow her. Higari spoke very little of his parents, mostly his siblings when he was asked about his family. Higari had mentioned his mother a few times, but Cementoss had always guessed the father had never been in the picture as Higari never brought him up, and Cementoss didn’t want to be rude by asking when, really, it wasn’t his business to begin with.

Seemed as though there was more history to Higari’s family then Cementoss had originally thought

“It seems like you and your family have all gone through some hard times, finding ways to cope with that emotional and mental turmoil is human nature. I didn’t mean to make you feel ashamed by it”

Shyly, which was an emotion that looked odd on the person who presented herself as nothing but laid back and casual, his company looked up from their hand and towards him

“..You didnt..” she mumbled into her palm, just loud enough for him to hear “Honestly, I don’t even like smoking that much. I know what it does to you and I try not to do it often. There’s just..well, ain’t as much help available in the country then there is here” The end of her cigarette had gone out, but she wasn’t paying attention to it “When you live in a small town with little villain attacks you don’t get all the fancy shmancy help stuff you get in the city, best we got down there is a basic doc and vet”

A pause

“Guess that comes with being a hero, preaching about the goodness of ones health and all..”

She let out a weak laugh to try and brighten her mood, it worked as well as she hoped “...Hah, wow, this is awkward” she said, mostly to herself, before looking to Cementoss “Your school faculty members sister venting to a hero who she doesn’t even know the name of.”

Another weak laugh and a failed attempt to ease her discomfort “Least I can say my introduction is gonna make an impression”

Here did Cementoss let out a small huff of humour “You could say that, but not the worst impression..and it’s Cementoss by the way”

“Hm?” She cocked a brow

“My name is Cementoss” he repeated “If you want to get technical: Cementoss is my hero name, most of the others here refer to me by that”

She smiled - Cementoss decided he liked the look on her - “Pleasure to have you in my presence” she extended a hand towards him “Not every day someone lets you talk about your messy family problems on the first introduction”

Cementoss smiled, his hand gently clasping around hers, his giant hands practically engulfed her tiny ones. “I’m gonna go on a bet and say your quirk has something to do with cement?” Cementoss hummed, mocking thought, before he nodded “You’d be correct” Her smile widened, happy to find out she had indeed been correct “So what’s my prize?”

Cementoss blinked, letting go of her hand “Prize?”

She pointed to him “You’re a teacher right? Ain’t teachers supposed to give rewards for correct answers?” She pressed a hand to her chest, one leg resting over the other “I’d be partial to a gold star sticker if you have any”

Cementoss lifted a finger “Technically this isn’t a class and you’re not a pupil Chi”

She stuck her tongue out at him “Poo, you’re no fun—..” she blinked “What did you call me?” Her expression was a mix between confusion and surprise, maybe she hadn’t heard him correctly? Cementoss lowered his hand “I thought I heard Higari refer to you as Chi when you where talking earlier”

The women was quite, then, let out a laugh

Cementoss looked off to the side, unsure of what to do or if she was laughing at him, or more likely if she was laughing at something he had said. Had he assumed incorrectly?

“Sorry!” She waved her hand at him when she noticed how muddled he looked “I didn’t mean to laugh, it’s just that Chi is my nickname” she smiled down at him again “My actual name is Chikara”

“..Oh..” Cementoss felt his cheeks grow hot, and Chikara, smirked. He stiffened, eyes widening as she resisted the urge to giggle as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand “I-..Sorry” Cementoss mumbled “I didn’t realise..”

“Hey, no sweat” Chikara brushed him off combined with a bat of her hand, but even she couldn’t deny that a flustered Cementoss was a very entertaining thing “Out of the nicknames you coulda called me, Chi is certainly one of the ones I like the most. Like-“ she sat up on the step, moving a bit closer to him “-Higari and the rest sometimes call me stuff like snot face”

Cementoss was going to say he didn’t think the usually mind-his-own-business Higari was capable of giving someone an insulting nickname, then he remembered that one time the teachers had started a swear jar and Higari had it full by the end of the second week.

So, yeah, that did sound like something he would do

“I call him short stack”

Curse him: he let out a snicker. Higari was rather small

“Appropriate” he replied “...You know, the first time I met Higari I accidentally mistook him for a student”

“What!” Chikara’s grin grew impossibly wider “Haha! No way! God-“ she shook her head, the very image of that scenario pure gold! “-I wish I coulda been there to see that!” She whirled her head back to him, curiosity lacing every word “What did he do?”

“Not much” Cementoss replied honestly “He told me it was fine after I apologised-“ profusely apologised “-and we both went on with our day”

Chikara’s smile fell into a pout “Boring” she crossed her arms over her chest “You could have exaggerated the story a lil’ bit greenie”

“...Greenie?” Cementoss echoed back quietly

As if it was obvious, Chikara pointed down to the small patch of the flower bed Cementoss had previously been tending to before she had appeared. Cementoss followed her pointed finger “You’re a gardener, gardeners have green thumbs: Greenie” she explained, one side of her lip curled up in a half smile

The last time someone gave Cementoss a nickname must have been in his second year during school.

“You could always call me by my actual name” he suggested, not apposed to the nickname, it just wasn’t something he was used too.

“Your hero name? Or your real name?”

“Cementoss. Or Ken - my real name”  

“Ken..” Chikara repeated, testing how the name sounded. She hummed, looking skyward. She repeated his name again and her eyes squinted in thought “...Nah” she shrugged “My nicknames better Greenie” Cementoss rolled his eyes, guess Greenie was something he was going to have to get used too. Though it wasn’t the worst thing he had been called since high school - he’d been given plenty of names then, names which he preferred to not think back on

“You plant a lot?” Chikara asked, looking down to the freshly tended piece of flower bed Cementoss was sitting besides

Cementoss looked to the sapling he had just planted, then to the other three he had done earlier that day “Sometimes, when I have time between classes” truly work at UA and hero work didn’t leave him a great deal of free time for himself, but he managed with what little he had. “UA doesn’t have a proper garden, so I tend to the plants in and around the teachers dorms. It gives me something to do”

“You know, Higari used to be a bit of a plant nutt before he came to UA. According to Tai, he used to name them”

“Tai is one of your other brothers?” Cementoss asked

“My twin” Chikara answered

“Naming plants sounds like Higari” Cementoss finished patting down the soil around the freshly planted saplings, then stood. Brushing the dirt off from his knees he turned towards the steps of the teachers dorms, Chikara was now having to crane her neck slightly to make eye contact with him “...I believe Ectoplasm mentioned he caught Higari talking to their houseplants one time”

Cementoss couldn’t help but peak an eye open at her to catch her reaction: which was her leaping to her feet faster then a jack rabbit with her eyes as wide as plates “Seriously!” She cheered, barely containing her laughter, before bolting back into the dorms. Cementoss went to follow, before Chikara’s head suddenly stuck back out “You comin’ with?”

Cementoss blinked “Do you want me to?”

“Sure” Chikara said “...I also want to ensure I have the protection of a hero incase Higari tries to kill me, which he probably will” Chikara stuffed the now dead cigarette bud into her pocket, she’d find a bin for a later, before practically skipping back into the building

“Keep up Greenie!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chikara stared down at the quaint little flower pot and the teenie little sprout poking up from the soil. It looked relatively new, probably just planted a few days ago - maybe even today

She titled her head “A..plant?” She asked

Cementoss nodded “Yes”

“...Why?” Chikara asked, looking up to him - literally - she underestimated how tall he would be standing. It’s not like she was ungrateful for any gifts, but she hadn’t been expecting a plant when she and the rest of her siblings where about to leave. Her or the rest of her siblings had brought any gifts when they came down - none that she knew of anyway - so this was certainly a surprise 

“Is this to do with the nickname I gave you? You tryna get back at me somehow?”

“It’s nothing to do with that” Cementoss shook his head as he cleared her suspicions on that note “I remember yesterday how..” Cementoss looked around, checking no one else was around, before continuing “You said you didn’t like smoking, I thought perhaps a plant might help”

Chikara blinked, looked at the plant, then Cementoss, then back again “You..want me to try gardening instead of smoking?”

Cementoss nodded

Chikara blinked, then, looked back down to the plant: just a plain old plant pot. The tiny green stalk just barely breaching the top of the soil, which was still damp from its morning watering. Chikara realised that Cementoss was probably waiting for her to take it, so she slowly raised her hands till they came to grasp the plant pot.

“What kind of plant is it?” She asked while turning the pot carefully in her hands as if searching for some kind of label. Cementoss shrugged and - though Chikara could only guess with that oddly shaped mouth of his - smiled “I can’t quite recall” Chikara rose a brow up at him “Must have slipped my mind - you’ll have to tell me when it grows”

Chikara blinked again and was quite for a few seconds, before rolling her eyes and huffing “Oh, I see” she moved the pot to her side, holding it in her right hand as she pointed to him with her left “You’re not gonna tell me so that I’ll have to take care of it to find out” sneaky, she thought in the back of her head, and pretty clever - respect

“Perhaps” Cementoss said with an innocent shrug “It would be nice to know what it grows into, as a fan of gardening myself of course”

“Hm” Chikara’s lip quirked into a smile, one brow cocked “Right” she said with a slow nod

“...Wait-“ Chikiara’s smile fell, so suddenly that Cementoss grew worried for a second, before she asked “How am I supposed to tell you what it grows into if I don’t have any way to contact you?”

Ah..he hadn’t thought of that

The UA dorms had a phone on the ground floor that was mostly used to talk with parents or other staff in the building, incase of emergencies, thankfully they hadn’t yet used it for the latter reason - in any case giving her the number for that phone probably wasn’t allowed, since it was meant to be a phone strictly for the staff and used only for work related purposes. Cementoss did have a phone, but with his fat fingers typing a number was beyond the realm of possibility - his phone often had to be opened and used with voice recognition - but that aside he gave out his number so rarely he honestly couldn’t remember it off the top of his head.

He hummed

“Well, you could give me your number” He said without really thinking. Then his brain kicked in and he realised what he asked  

Chikara blinked wide eyes up at him as Cementoss’s cheeks got hot

“I-“ he waved a hand apologetically “Of course you don’t have to if you’re uncomfortable! I’d understand. I can always ask Higari to keep me updated-“

Chikara dug around in her pocket and produced a marker “You got some paper?” She asked

Cementoss blinked at her...then quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small notebook. With Chikara holding the plant in one hand he offered to hold the notebook for her as Chikara scrawled her number down onto the page “Ya know, it’s often traditional for a gentleman to wine and dine a lady before askin’ for her number” Chikara teased, offering him a smirk and a honest to god wink as she pulled the marker away “But, just this once, I’ll let it slide~”

Cementoss’s face felt hotter, and he prayed it wasn’t obvious. Chikara’s smirk got wider, oh, it was obvious wasn’t it?

“I-“ Cementoss cleared his throat, pulling the notebook shyly to his chest “Thank you..”

“No problem” Chikara turned to walk towards the doors of UA teachers dorms where the rest of her siblings where waiting - looked like Taiho was trying to split up a quarrel between Higari and Hono, shocker. “See ya round!” She said over her shoulder, waving a little before trotting to catch up with her family outside

Cementoss watched from the hallway as Chikara approached Higari from behind and smacked his hair into his face, prompting Higari to say something at her that made her chuckle.

Looking down at his notebook, Cementoss stared down at the line of digits written in marker. When was the last time he’d asked for a women’s number? Anyone’s number period! After reading the line of numbers over three times, his eyes where suddenly drawn to a small note scribbled in the bottom right hand corner of the page. The writing was a bit messy, obviously written quickly, so he had to bring it closer to his face to read it clearly

‘How bold of you Greenie, Chikara xxx’

His face got hotter again

Apologies for my mistakes in advance.

Ok, so, I have a question for you.

Some time ago (honestly, it might have been kind of a long time ago) you’ve been talking about Genshin and how you prefer when the mc is not the point of view character but just someone who spectates from afar while other characters living their lives/stories. Tbh I’m not entirely sure that it was the exact thing that you said, but at the very least, that’s how I’ve remembered it xD

(Not trying to put words in your mouth btw, again, that’s just how I’ve remembered it)

So, my question is: do you not like MCs, like, in general? Like I know that it’s a strange question and that mc from Genshin feels more like a self-insert (I think they get better as the time goes on, maybe they’ll be their own characters by the end of the game lol), so it’s strange to question whether or not you like MCs just based on this one answer, but I was wondering about it so I decided to ask.

I’m not gonna lie, I am (kind of) a main character truther, they usually end up being my favorite characters, and if I don’t like mc, then I usually drop the work as a whole (because I don’t want to consume something that’s going to anger/annoy me, and bc MCs are usually a huge part of the story, I would rather just not interact with the story as a whole. Kind of unrelated, but my hatred for Bak*go forced me to drop mha bc he started to gain more and more screen time, and even though he is not THE main character, I still think that’s a good example).

Like. I hope you don’t think that I’m looking for troubles or anything, but as a person who likes MCs and as someone who would rather drop the work if I can’t emphasize with them/don’t like them/feel like they are NOT treated or behave like main characters, I’m just interested in the perspective of someone who doesn’t care for those characters/don’t like them in general.

Sorry if my message was confusing, I hope you got my point.

Well honestly I do tend to find MCs significantly less interesting than other characters. MCs tend to be the most generic character so that people can relate to them… thats just not how I read stories so it does nothing for me.

Like Naruto (& honestly the rest of his team) I found him (them) largely annoying and was always more interested in the stories of other characters with weirder powers (like Shino) & because I like more minor characters I Guess Im just more tolerable of their absence so long as the story is fun (Shino was probably THE most neglected of class but I stuck through Naruto until it wasnt fun anymore.)

But yeah especially in something like Genshin where Aether/Lumine are both the MC… and nothing really changes based on the character you pick... they arent a real character and what they do doesnt really matter because its just a stand in.

Like if you made QIQI the main character things would inherently change because she is her own character and the world would have to change based on what she might do. Her options to choose would be SO much different since shes a child and a zombie and w/e the world couldnt possibly be the same…. or CYNO would be interesting because hes got such a different temperament and also struggles with discrimination from being a desert dweller so there would even be more resistance... Hes basically got 2 personalities the quiet professional who keeps his head down and the goofy little meme boy who likes puns and YGO thats closer to who he really is and only shows to his friends (who hate it… OMG WINDBLUME IM STILL DEVASTATED LEARNING CYNO IS QUITE WHILE WORKING BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RACIST AND HE ONLY JOKES WITH HIS FRIENDS BUT HIS FRIENDS ARE ACTIVELY ANNOYED BY IT AND DONT WANT TO HEAR IT…. IM SICK. …anyway.)

You can interchange Lumine and Aether and nothing changes because theyre not a real characters with their own personality so I just cant give a shit about them. The only thing that makes them tolerable is that its pretty clear Aether is supposed to be the main character canonically.

That said I wouldnt completely dismiss an MC just for being an MC…. some are interesting or serviceable enough to be somewhat likable. I love Luffy from One Piece, I like Tsuna from KHR and I did like Deku from MHA at first though recently he just feels like he doesnt matter at all (which normally I wouldnt mind since I usually prefer side characters stories but cutting screen time of Deku and focusing on characters who genuinely dont fucking matter or are terribly written like Endeavor or the side villains whos stories are forced and/or dont fucking MEAN anything… its frustrating. As much as I cant STAND Bakugo I actually wouldnt mind him having more screen time because he IS important to the story (or should be)… same with Todoroki but Bakugo is just a FLACCID and stagnant character and Todo was fucking wasted as Hori somehow thought itd be a better idea to build his abusive POS father without him present… DONT UNZIP ME NONNY. IM SO MAD…).

UM…. yeah. I didnt take offense or anything to the question… I actually love having an excuse to bitch about silly shit like this. Fandom discourse used to be one of my favorite pastimes before people started pretending it was serious business because theyre too lazy to do any actual social justice.
