It's interesting how differently Ochako interacts with Toga versus Hatsume. In both cases, Ochako represents the normal girl in contrast to girls who deviate from the norm like Hatsume and Toga.

Both Toga and Hatsume deviate from the norm, act selfishly, and hit on Izuku. But except for when it comes to harm to others, Ochako seems to dislike Hatsume more despite Toga being the villain. And Toga and Ochako reconcile; meanwhile Ochako was never able to see eye to eye with Hatsume.

To some extent, it might be that Ochako didn't consider Toga a real threat concerning her crush on Izuku because he wouldn't date a current villain. Also, Toga has an interest in and even loves Ochako. Hatsume on the other hand takes little interest in Ochako whenever they are in the same scene. It may also be that Toga sees Ochako as someone aspirational - someone she wants to be like - and on some level Ochako finds that flattering. Toga's desire to be a normal girl may also be relatable to Ochako at least on a superficial level. On the other hand, Hatsume has no desire to aspire to normalcy and doesn't care about doing anything outside of her own pace.

the fandom needs to talk more about how katsuki is 100x nerdier than izuku

One of Deku's students asking about the humarise crisis, in which Deku gets really excited and ends up just talking about his husband and their love story for three hours.

toshinori's character was supposed to encapsulate the idea that 'not everyone can be heroes, but everyone has the capacity for heroism'.

maybe you can't be a hero without a quirk, maybe you can't be a hero with strength.

but it doesn't change the fact that everyone can be heroic.

after all might's retirement, toshinori goes through a bit of an identity crisis, wondering who he is if he cannot be all might. and aizawa tells him straight up that he does not need to be all might. all he has to be is toshinori.

stain further exemplifies this, when he saves all might and tells him that it was not his strength that moved him. it was his actions. the all might statue built had been defecated, and this upsets toshinori. it makes him feel as though he failed in being a symbol of peace.

yet, when stain tells him that people loved all might for his actions and what he stood for, not his strength, a single person goes up to that statue and cleans it.

all might may have died, but toshinori lives on and that is all he needs to do. all he has to do is be himself.

...

all this gets thrown out with iron might.

iron might goes against what his character was building up to be, what his character was going to say.

'not everyone can be heroes, but all can be heroic.'

by giving us iron might, it erases that first half. because, while quirkless, toshinori is able to fight on using this suit to mimic quirks. which, while i'd accept if izuku did this at the start, or if a different quirkless character did, is just not good.

the whole point of all might dying was so that toshinori could live on. he shouldn't have to fight after everything that he's already done.

toshinori dying would have been trash, but i wouldn't mind it so much if he died an honorable and heroic death, such as saving someone from an attack, maybe having a call-back to izuku's 'my feet started moving on its own'.

he wouldn't be a hero in that moment, but he would be heroic, and that is what his character was supposed to say.

his character was supposed to show us that. we were supposed to gather that, even if toshinori is no longer a hero, he is still heroic.

supporting others, trying to reach out to izuku in his dark hero arc, dong whatever he can to keep morale up.

iron might is cool and all, but it goes against his own narrative.

horikoshi, once again, did him dirty. he does so many character dirty.

people editing mha 430 to put the panel of deku smiling after bkg holding put his hand to imply that bkg’s handhold is what made deku smile when it’s different in canon is just

sooooo kuleschov i will think abt this forever

im kinda lazy to explain what the kuleschov effect is are there any other film ppl here who can do it for me 😭😭

but hori made deku smile first. and Then had the bkg handhold panel. if he’d done it the opposite way like people have been editing them the meaning and implications would’ve been changed completely. and i think that’s why bkdks edit it the other way to change the implication and make it seem like dekus smile was specifically because of bkg. whether it’s conscious or not. that’s the kuleschov effect essentially lol and i find it fascinating

also sorry to anyone who already knows this and is annoyed at me mansplaining it to u

edit: to clarify editing the panels like this and stuff is not a bad thing or anything at all i have nothing but love in my heart for my bkdk brethren basically i just find the effect of switching the panels really interesting from a completely analytical/film perspective and thats it lol

Fic Finder 101

Hey y’all! I’ve gotten a lot of fic finding requests in my inbox over the past few months, (Yay!) so I'm excited to help y’all and discover/rec some great new fics in the process!

In order to make things a smidge easier on myself, I’m making this post to clarify a few things that are helpful to include when submitting a Fic Finder ask:

AO3 Only. I don't look for or read fic elsewhere (i.e. Wattpad, etc.) and am very, very familiar with their website, so I prefer to only rec fics that are posted to Archive of our Own. If you can't remember what platform you read a fic on, just know that there is a possibility that I may not be able to find it.

Details, details, details! If you can list specific dialogue, scenes, settings, plot points that stuck out to you these are all very helpful. For example, great details to include would be something like: "Oneshot Coffee Shop!AU where Pro Hero Katsuki falls in love with Quirkless Barista Izuku at first sight and asks Izuku to make him Deku's favorite drink every morning. He keeps coming back even though he hates the taste of coffee. There was a lot of fluff and pining and it had a happy ending where they moved in together. Bakugou finds out that Izuku knew he didn't like the drink the whole time and kept notes, making it a little different each day until he did."

Include your @. It is understandable that you may not want your username included in posts! However the reason I request this is so that I can message you if I am having issues finding your fic or have questions while searching for it. If you would still like your post to remain anonymous when posted, start your message with "anon please" or something along those lines and I will be sure not to include it.

Read Date. If you are able to give me a rough estimate of how long is has been since you read the fic, that is helpful for me to narrow down results.

I realize that not everyone will be able to provide everything on this list, so don't fret if your answers to most of these are "I don't know." I will still do my best to find that fic you've been looking for!

dabihawks fake dating au but it isn't Dabi and Hawks that are fake dating. Instead it's Dabi and Shigaraki. They were already doing it before the pro hero joined their little club, needing someone low-key that wouldn't get questioned on the occasional grocery shopping or paying the bills. What would get people averting their eyes? An out and open gay couple. This is how shigadabi went from "I hate you, i hope the other side of your pillow is warm the whole night" one minute to "omg darling I missed you so much!!" the next.

I want Shigadabi with petty siblings dynamics or the sassiest, bitchiest best friends that ever existed. They're very comfortable with each other since they know that there isn't any chance for their relationship to dive into romance. Hawks, not understanding relationships with the whole I grew up a child soldier situation, can't seem to grasp that the hot league lieutenant is actually into him and that he's not a home wrecker making Dabi cheat on Shigaraki. Hawks walks in on shigadabi cuddling on the couch and all he thinks is "Damn, their relationship must be going well." As if Dabi didn't spend their whole meet up the day before flirting and goading him to make a move.

Just 10k words of Hawks being on dumb bitch hours and Shigadabi having the most platonic dynamic pls.

Endeavors A+ parenting tip #1 : Avoid ALL eye contact with the child that desperately wants you to look at them

[violet-sumire]

An absolutely horrible, evil oneshot idea

Dabi dies sometime before he can reveal his identity to the world.

Since he was such a big unknown, his genome is tested to find any relatives so the heroes might learn who he was.

Endeavor gets the worst phone call of his entire life.

Chapter 287 | Mistake

[bnha-favoriteheadcanon]

Unpopular opinion, but I always thought Mina was the closest female friend to Bakugou than Uraraka and Camie were, I always loved fics that showed that 🥲

🥲

[delawaredetroit]

Paperwork for the paper god I guess.

This is the reason someone can't just be Batman in BNHA unless they have All Might or Knuckleduster connections by the way. Because even if a quirkless person trained, access to support gear is tightly regulated through the pro hero (pro quirk user) profession.

And for the only person shown with access to a support item outside of heroics or villainy (Aoyama), it was because his family was extremely wealthy and they were willing to use unsavory channels to have their kid's needs met.

[nerdy-as-heck]

Always going to remember this post and how true it was

TheLreads, Vigilantes ch 101, Replies Part 2

1) “YEAH BOY! THAT’S THE STUFF!

PLUS FUCKING ULTRA!

NOW AT LEAST REMEMBER TO BREATH, WE DON’T WANT YOU TURNING BLUE BY THE TIME YOU REACH THE HOSPITAL”- And here comes the big reveal that connects both Izuku and Koichi’s powers. All along, they’ve been limited by their users’ self-imagined beliefs and understanding of how they think they work. It’s when they let go of thinking and start using the powers on instinct, like it’s a third limb they’ve been born with, that the true potential finally shows. The centipede’s dilemma was capping off Koichi’s real strength this whole time, so when he stops thinking about what he can’t do, and focuses on something more important, like saving Pop, his power skyrockets, and his limits vanish. 2) “…Welp spoke too soon. Shame. Now with his death the fabric of reality shall begin to unravel and disintegrate.”-Only once he finishes Phelps off by shooting him with an actual bullet, “for old times’ sake”. 3) “Ah shit it was just Soga. Never mind then, keep moving koichi, there’s more important stuff to care about right now.”- Sadly, Soga is the designated “ideas man” for the vigilante group right now, which means any clever strategy they need to turn the tables on Nomura needs to be run by him first. Downsides of not having Koichi become completely independent and self-sufficient as a hero- er, Vigilante. 4) “Alright Mr. Strategist, do tell us what the counterattack will entail, since you’re apparently the brain of this whole operation.”- I will admit that for all his strengths as a protagonist, Koichi not having Izuku’s ability to think and plan on his feet, and thus being reliant on others for ideas, does majorly handicap his ability to heroically perform in action. 5) “Jokes on you Soggy, that’s been his life for the past three non-important years. You wouldn’t know, since they weren’t important and thus weren’t shown, but I’ll assure you, all that non-important stuff was building up to this exact moment right here.”- I’d say it was a joke, but it really was all leading up to this fight all along – and us being absent from the humdrum day-to-day does really make us feel the disconnect in Koichi’s journey as a hero compared to Izuku, who we’ve followed closely for an entire year of his life up to this current fight with Tomura. 6) “Also, where’s Midnight? Why isn’t she here? Her quirk could’ve put all of them to sleep, or at least she could try to do so.”- Would that even work on the drones? They have mouths, sure, but they don’t seem to have noses or such to breath with, and it’s unclear if their weird biology would even be affected by the normal cocktail of chemicals that Midnight uses to make others go to sleep.

7) “Again, how many of those fucking things did AfO gave McBee? I was under the impression that Nomus were, you know, difficult to make, even the less-powerful models, and it would probably be worse here considering that this is the early models, before the technology was properly mastered.”- Given the bomber cells have weird “growing” capacities, like we saw with how Nomura formed hands out of them in order to beat Knuckles, it’s possible that he just grew a big vat of the stuff and had it form under Nomura’s control into humanoid Drones to control with. The issue being is that this growth results in the cells being unstable and bad for long-term use, so they won’t work with a Nomu’s trademark durability down the line, but they’re useful for making a large disposable force for an assault like this- don’t even leave any traces behind with how they utterly eradicate themselves with each blast. 8) “So, the final clash is about to start for real. Even McBee himself is there to get his hands dirt, but my oh my, Koichi is right here, and as he showed he has unlocked the next level of his quirk, and if he was already fucking him over before, well, let us just say McBee doesn’t stand much of a chance right now…”- This fight is gonna be wild, let me tell you. @thelreads
