#bnha thoughts

[littleholmes]

Aizawa said keep the media far away from my kids who’ve been through hell since they started at UA and don’t need more press in their face yet again now that the war is over, especially the kids who don’t like a ton of attention, and I love that

[burstbubbbles]

things im noticing as i rewatch bnha, an ongoing thread:

SEASON 1

- deku really was such a nerd lmao he's just like me fr (like i KNEW but i didn't remember how much i could relate to it. oops.)

- it's also interesting that he always fights back against bakugo and calls him an idiot a lot. idk why (probably because of fandom characterization) i remembered early-seasons deku as a lot more innocent and scared of bakugo. like, here's the thing, deku is scared of pretty much everything at the start because he's shy/anxious. he gets nervous talking to most of his classmates (especially, but not only, girls) when he first meets them and starts trembling when he gets elected as class president before handing the role to iida. so basically, his anxiety isn't reserved to bakugo like i remembered – if anything, he seems to get over his fear of getting bullied by him pretty quickly once he realizes he can fight back.

- kaminari tried to ask uraraka out in their first or second day of school and she was like "uhhh i like to eat... uhh... WAIT DEKU CAME BACK FROM THE NURSE'S OFFICE" lol i really didn't remember that

- bakugo's insecurity was always there. as you're reading this you might be thinking i first watched mha with my eyes closed or sth, and you're not very far from the truth. here's the thing, i first watched it when i was like 14-15, so all i knew back then was that bakugo was insufferable and i didn't think further than that. of course, he ended up becoming one of my favorite bnha characters after reading all of the manga, but it's cool to realize his character arc was foreshadowed from the beginning and didn't just magically start around season 3.

- but yeah, anyway, bakugo's insecurity and his envy over deku's natural noble nature was always there, since season 1. also, deku's real admiration over bakugo was also there. like, going back to my other point, deku wasn't just Not Overly Scared of bakugo, he actually looked up to him despite knowing he was deeply flawed. tbh they were always a bit crazy about each other.

- uraraka is so funny i love her.

- all of class 1A was so chaotic good coded

- like they collectively made fun of bakugo on the bus to USJ for being rude lol. they really bonded over their shared dislike for the guy.

- bakugo gets fucking HUMBLED all of s1. i would also be irrationally angry ngl.

- the dialogues in the first season sometimes are so unnatural for the sake of exposition, like all might telling recovery girl: "do you mind not talking so loudly ab OFA? only you, a close friend, the principal, and midoriya know about OFA. but most professors and some pro heroes also know about my condition and not being able to fight for more than 3 hours a day" like WHO TALKS LIKE THAT ??!1?1?

- deku had to go to recovery girl's office a total of 4 times (if i counted correctly) for broken limbs of fingers in HIS FIRST WEEK of school. which is funnier considering no one else from class 1A had to go even once.

- damn shigaraki was a skinny legend before he got OP

- aizawa did not react at all when he first saw kurogiri (about the shirakumo thing). that was surprising.

- also. AIZAWA IS SO BADASS?? like yes i knew he was badass from the later seasons, but i genuinely didn't remember his first fighting sequence at USJ where he single-handedly fights like at least 20 villains.

- i had also forgotten that shigaraki calls eraserhead "really cool" so early on in the anime, i thought it was a later-seasons thing.

- this is really obvious but i had forgotten the all might theme's resemblance to superman's theme. it's such a cool little detail tho!

- uraraka and deku definitely were crushing on each other when they first met, but i think it's nice that they ended up developing a really strong friendship instead of getting together after hori didn't consistently develop them romantically. it also makes a lot more sense narratively, like why would we care who deku ends up with at the end of his first year of UA when the story actually ends 8 years after that, and it's very unlikely that you marry the same person you started dating when you were 15. idk, i liked that. i like that you can have two characters who maybe have a crush on each other but can't focus on that due to Circumstances and eventually move on and become good friends. it's a win for the platonic department!

- the animation was kinda bad in the first season 😭 but it's understandable and i had fun watching it regardless.

okay im done with s1 tune in for s2 !!

Does anyone have ideas on how Tokoyami’s quirk works?

Specifically in regards to All For One. If AFO had taken Dark Shadow would he then be a culmination of AFO’s thoughts and being or would he still be the same person he was, just attached to another user? Hypothetically could Dark Shadow have destroyed AFO from the inside out?

I was just thinking about how sentience would affect taking someone’s quirk and I think it would be really sad and cool if Dark Shadow used AFO’s emotion to destroy him, sacrificing himself for the cause and leaving Tokoyami quirkless.

I love to discuss literally anything Tokoyami related btw pls share your thoughts 🙏

[marysplume]

yaoyorozu momo, pro hero creati, the only girl in their year level to crack top 20 !! she stays representing the strengths of women with her quiet but solid confidence!! that's my hero 🪆✨️

look at her being a techie hero on the side, that's what the creation quirk is all about! i love that she thrives in this technological advancements too!

[alpineforeverr]

Now I don't condone bullying but... I really wanna see a quirkless person bullying people with weird quirks like fr. Like imagine if kacchan was quirkless he would still be a menace to society.

Izuku with stretchy eyeballs???

[eddies-spaghetti]

y’all who wants to hear my theory about touya being a preemie and the effects it may have on his quirk and quirks in general??

[shiganshinaslut]

Hmmm Aizawa strikes me as someone who would be very warm. Would love to experience it. I’d slither into that sleeping bag and curl up like a cat and nap in there with him.

[h0estar]

was no one gonna tell me the depressing episode of bakugo getting nuked in the heart released today

[loveisloveisacomplicatedgirl]

knowing the spoiler led me do knowing more spoilers which i don't mind... and i'm half conviced afo is deku's father and that's not even what the spoilers are about... literally a fanfic led me to believing this concept and then the writer was like "yeah, i don't really believe this theory," all while managing to convince me... ugh, i just REALLY don't want it to be true, but afo is insaneeee like he totally would steal his own kid's quirk if given the opportunity... but also he believes in sibling supremacy and izu is an only child! so there is still hope, but also even if afo isn't his bio donor, it's still possible he took his quirk somehow... but i really like the idea of deku being quirkless naturally, sometimes were born different and that's okay

[littleholmes]

Edgeshot survived and he’s got hands! But Bakugo feeling guilty about his condition just makes me sad

[evilminji]

Why Dont More BNHA SI-OCs end up Animals?

No, seriously, Nedzu is both terrifying and an INCREDIBLE asset.

If you were a Villian. An ends justify the means sort of bloke, as it were, why WOULDN'T you try and make another Nedzu? Sure, he promises terrible, terrible, blood soaked Vengeance, the likes of which sane men fear to contemplate and madmen shudder to behold, but? It's not like THEY'LL get caught!

They are VERY smart.

They have a plan!

Are you catching the sarcasm? Cause they sure are catching these Probably A Stoat Hands! And a tire iron! No survivors! *Nedzu's back up coughs awkwardly* Fine. SOME survivors! But he's still upset.

He dislikes Labs.

And think about it! Really, what is more likely? Some rando has? Two(2) SEPERATE Quirks? One of which not only kicked pre-birth, but is continual and very likely the ONLY THING keeping THAT PARTICULAR SOUL in that body. While the other is? *spins the wheel* Meh. We'll figure it out later.

Those are VERY different Quirks!

They would require VERY different secondary adaptations. Some of which might CONFLICT. Fatally no less. It would also be a rather notable quirk mutation, from their parents.

Possibly HEREDITARY.

Gonna have your OC grapple with the reality the not ONLY have a Chronic, Life Threatening, Quirk Reliant Medical Condition. That if the ever get arrested, falsely or not, they better PRAY those cops both notice and GIVE A SHIT about their medical bracelet... or that's it.

One pair of Quirk Suppressing Handcuffs.

Any medical grade Suppressant.

They'll die. Plain and simple. Dressed up in fancy medical jargon, their body will just... given out. Like a puppets who's strings are cut.

Oh, and it's HEREDITARY.

Because Quirks run in bloodlines. And once a mutation happens? It's here to stay! So her/his/their KIDS all stand the chance of being yoinked from another world. And their grandkids. Great grandkids. For however long it takes to shift into something else.

Here's a brochure on adoption.

You know, assuming you live that long.

Is it a great idea to explore? Fuck yeah! Am I gonna do it? Fuck no! So free to a good home I guess, just lemme read it! But!! You know what SIDE STEPS all this?

Quirked Animals!

Perfect for all you dub-... actually, let's not lie to ourselfs, WILDLY UNETHICAL scientific needs! You can splice in genes for intelligence Quirks! Maybe you'll get it right! Ballpark it! So what if loads of them die horrifically? Something, something, in the name of progress! They tell themselves.

Nedzu :) Violently :) Disagrees :)

But he ALSO! Only soooorta gives a shit about... like a small handful of humans. A fellow Quirked Animal? Who needs Schooling and legal Gaurdianship? A guide to the world of humans?

Not to MENTION? My Ace ass love the concept? Of abstracting attraction!

Because!

You are a Cat.

You are a Quirked Cat. You Quirk allows you sentience and memories of being human. Do you still find humans attractive? Or was that your human body? Do you find CATS attractive? They are animals. Your mind rebels. But? Were two images, drawn upon a wall, presented too you? Which would be desirable to you now?

Well groomed fur? A charming grin?

No one and nothing?

You are a Cat. A teenager. Around you, your peers speak of dates and crushes and dreams of marriage in some far off future day. You struggle to reach the seat of your desk, too see the board properly. You have nothing you can add to their conversations.

Clothing feels oppressive and wrong against your fur.

It feels worse to be naked.

You are a Cat.

Blue by Billie Eilish is Touya Todoroki's song.

"Colder than your father's eyes, he never learned to sympathize, with anyone."

This line could honestly go for Touya or Enji in the aspect of never sympathizing with anyone.

"You were born reaching for your mother's hands, victim of your father's plans, to rule the world."

"Too afraid to step out side, paranoid and petrified, of what you've heard."

It explains him so well. And these lines:

"I don't blame you, but I can't change you."

This one reflects the understanding that the rest of the family may have towards Touya's actions that were based on his father, such as getting away from the house in general.

"I don't hate you, but we can't save you."

Could symbolize the relationship between him and his siblings, or even Rei. The song itself is very well written, and the melody and pitiful tone in which the lines are sung at would push even further into the idea that this song explains him well.

Chapter 414 spoilers

Ok! I am very exited to see where the rest of the chapters go in this arc as this is exactly what I wished would happen ever since learned that One For All and All For One could interact in their own mind-scape. And that is for Deku and by extension the past wielders to witness Shigaraki's memories as I have always believed that would be the key to saving him.

Why?

Well because it forces the past wielders to humanise him, it's kinda the same affect that happened on the fandom when we begun to learn of Shigaraki's past. At first we also dismissed him as a crazy man child with no prospects and no reason for why he is the way he is however, by learning more about him and seeing the world though his perspective we began to understand and care for him, with many wishing to see him succeed in his goals despite the fact he was a villain. And I believe a similar effect will happen with Deku and the vestiges.

Deku already wishes to save Shigaraki but he doesn't understand him which is the main reason he has been unsuccessful in his attempts, as to truly save someone like Shigaraki you need to know them and understand their goals, believes and what they cherish. And Deku simply doesn't, which lead to his rescue attempts ringing hollow in Shigaraki's ears as to him they were simply insincere platitudes spat at him by an ignorant hero.

Which brings us to Shigaraki's part in this, as we learn in this chapter that the memory swap is not a one sided affair as he can also see Deku's memories. This is important as I believe this will ultimately be the foot in the door that will allow Deku the break through to Shigaraki. As I don't believe it's a coincidence that Shigaraki is being shown the memories of Deku saving other people, I believe through witnessing these events Shigaraki will go through the same realisation that Kudou went though and learn that Deku truly wishes to reach out a hand and help him.

But that's just my thoughts

[marysplume]

katsuki: ive dominated the sports festival three years in a row, ive earned all might and aizawa-sensei's praises, and im already setting up my growing hero career even tho im still a student

*sees yaomomo ranked first once again in the academic ranking*

katsuki: that doesnt bother me

katsuki: at all

katsuki: fuck! ponytail you just watch your back!

poor, unsuspecting momo, earning a random rival: *sneezes* the weather sure is awful today

[buttercupshands]

Spoilers.

I already said what I wanted to say when chapter 423 came out. But, I guess now it's final.

I'm taking a break from mha for now, anything I post is up to me anyway, so posting something if I want to is a thing

And right now? I'm just glad that right now Tomura Shigaraki is dead. Gone. Never to return again.

So... I guess "try your best" is really the best way to end this. I won't re-watch season 1 to confirm to myself that "try your best" literally was what changed Izuku's perception on his nickname Deku.

I just want to sit and look at the wall now. Do some other stuff, watch something else.

After long 4 years of seeing Tomura with AFO in his mind, hate in his heart and that whole backstory. I'm just glad that he's at peace with himself now.

I said that already and I'll say it again. The best ending for the LoV was and still is the one in which they get to do what they want, even die, yes.

It's not the end of manga but for this long arc? It's the end. And I'm glad I followed it.

I posted sketches while joking about fanon, but I hate fanon LoV, preferring canon one still, sadly I can't change something like that in my head. Sorry.

Good luck.

MHA THOUGHTS! (*≧∇≦)ﾉ

So, today, I learned what a Green Whistle is. It's a medical device used in Australia that's basically a vape thar makes you happy, giddy, high. Ambulances give them to you to help with any pain whilst you're taken to hospital, usually for briken bones. And all I can think about is Pro hero's having access to them for emergencies! XD

The news comes on, a villain has been stopped by pro hero Hawks, who sustained a broken ankle from an awkward landing or something, and instead of him limping away looking gloomy, you get this weird, amusing footage of him laughing his ass off on the gurney, trying his best to string together a sentence to thank the medical staff. Nothing he's saying makes any sense, his words are jumbled and mix matched, but they all know he's just trying to be nice XD

Or maybe a younger pro hero who's just graduated! Shoto, oh my GOD! He dislocated his shoulder, broke his collarbone, anything like that, and they whipped out the Whistle. He takes a few drags and is GONE. Smiling away, giggling as they help him into the ambulance. That would probably be classed as valuable footage XD
