Nobody tells you

When you go chasing your dreams

That it's much harder than it seems

On the screens

Or fake magazines on the shelf

You're only left with yourself…

[notim-v]

BNHA idea i just got (manga final spoilers??)

it's just- literally what's stopping izuku from being a vigilant as an adult??? like- he's quirkless so technically he isn't a vigilant, he's got plenty of (physical and influentially) powerful people on his side to cover for him if needed, and idk i just think it would be interesting to see

especially if he's also being a teacher omg how tf does that work i have no idea i haven't slept well in a while so idk what i'm thinking

also how do i tag

Danny and Phantom are different personalities that don't know about the other.

Danny believes he is Quirkless and had trained to become a vigilante called Reaper

Phantom has a quirk called Ghost he is training to become a hero

      how does it feel to have been officially adopted , @4heroes ?

[grim-ghou1]

Izuku Midoriya & Analysis

Sometime during my early-mid teens, I learned about My Hero Academia.

Like with any character of a show, I was intrigued by Izuku Midoriya and the other characters of the anime. And something that intrigued me, was his ability to analyze.

Even now, at 21 (and eventually 22), having started from the beginning again and catching up with the anime, it still does, and more than the day I had watched the show for the first time.

He was, and is, the first person I have "met", who matched my ability to analyze. Before that day, I had never know anyone who matched my ability to.

Though the both of use have improvements to be made. One example of a needed improvement is analyzing One For All, something I did since season 1, it was how I was quick to understand what Izuku needed to do way before his internship with Grand Torino. As for myself, I will not be specific, but there were/are moments I've had where I recognized/recognize I needed/need to improve, and like Izuku, I did just that.

Analyzing Quirks and writing about them, Quirkless or not, is a smart of Izuku. It makes me smile to see his passion for Quirks and analyzing. And in ways, it reminds of myself.

For me, I analyze my surroundings (with my senses), my environment, I know the big and small, things that other might tend to not notice, and other things. I also research on a daily basis, full on deep dives, and store the information in an app called Notes, and I know about many things. Something else I do, is buy books, and if someone wants to buy me something, one of things I tell or show them, is what book or books to buy for me. And I thrive on this analyzing, researching, and knowledge, even if it is fictional.

And I do these things for more than one reason, to help myself and to help others, even encouraging people to also research something they ask me about, and to question, and more. But there are people who don’t listen. Which can affect life and relationships. Difficult to get the help I need, and get people to find options that might be better for them, and to understand me and themselves better, to help with this and that, and more. So all I can do is watch and wait, and be patient, not knowing what will happen, knowing particular information about something, and glancing away because I know something they don’t, especially if it’s information one would call: not pretty.

[plotbunnsies]

YOU! Do you read bnha fanfics?

Great! You're gonna love this idea!

Aizawa who knows of Izuku's existence because izu is a vigilant/quirkless hero/just in his class like normal and he's worried cause zuku radiates Not OK™️ energy 24/7, and izuku obviously knows about Eraserhead cause he's a NERD (obviously eraser is his favourite hero and you can try prying this from my dead cold hands)

So, exactly one week after meeting, izuku, my traumatised insomniac boy, is in his New kitchen in his Very New apartment, grabbing a drink that may-or-may-not be coffee, when he suddenly feels someone watching. He looks at the kitchen window and FuCKING CHOKES cause ErAserHeAd Is WaTChIng HiM FrOm AcRoSs ThE StReEt!

Meanwhile Aizawa just wanted his before-patrol coffee while thinking about what to do about the problem child who's a bit too self-sacrificing for his liking when suddenly he sees movement from the apartment across the street and he looks and wait problem child? HOly Shit he's choking is he ok??

And izuku is just casually coughing his lungs out feeling like he wants all might to detroit smash him like omg why did he have to choke in front of The eraserhead

WAIT I just had aother idea! What if aizawa is suspicious of this kid who somehow knows of his existence when he's an underground hero and supposed to be unknown? He doesnt even share his hero name with the peopel he helps!

(Aizawa doesn't know of the many forums and group chats that are specifically for underground hero, nor does he know a a very specific chat that's called "Eraser sightings" that has picture of a wild eraserhead in his natural habitat, stories from the many people he saved, memes, and very weird facts hizashi loves to add that no one really believes but are too damn funny the admins didn't want to ban him from the chat

Aizawa will forever be confused about why peopel randomly flag him down to give him anything cat related, from keychains to catnip)

Anyway, so aizawa is kind of paranoid and very sus of midori, then he looks outside of his window and FUCK This kid is stalking him and now he knows where he lives what's he gonna do with this information?

And then izuku sees him and looks like he just saw the devil and aizawa is looking at the very startled teen who's trying not to die choking and...yeah there's no way th kid knew

Idk i just want them as neighbours and i want to see their reactions, especially zuzu's reaction

Whumptober No. 17: You’re the lump in my throat and the knot in my chest

Oops I did it again I forgot these existed 😅 Reference taken from Good Will Hunting Why is Izuku in the hospital? Don't know Don't Care! Post Series, Pro-Heroes BKDK Tagging for Whumptober: @atereal @oneinist

~

Katsuki glares at the nurse as she comes in for the fourth time since last changing Izuku’s IV. “Bakugou-san, it’s far past—”

“Fuck off,” he growls, gripping Izuku’s hand tighter. He’s been out of the ICU for three hours, and Katsuki’s been here, at his bedside, for nearly all of it. Sue him, he'd had to piss eventually.

The nurse sighs and leaves again, closing the door as she leaves. Visiting Hours don’t apply to him, not when Izuku nearly died thrice over today. Their jobs are dangerous, but sometimes Katsuki wishes he could keep Izuku in a damn bubble.

♡ TW: yandere, captive reader, minor wounds, shackles, mental deterioration

♡ GN reader

“I’m sorry,” he says, looking up at you sheepishly from where he kneels before you, your feet in his lap as he carefully unclasps the second metal cuff from your ankle—leaving roughed skin in its wake, cut raw and swollen as badly as the other. “But, you know, I would have taken them off sooner if you’d been good.”

You don't answer him—not feeling like nodding and agreeing, though not exactly feeling up to doing the opposite anymore either. Tired of it, you remain quiet, and you look away instead—flinching and hissing as he carefully handles the wounds with disinfectant, balm, and bandages.

When he’s done, he rests his cheek on your knee—stroking his hands up and down your claves tenderly. “I really am sorry,” he repeats—voice soft and silken, nuzzling into you with big puppy eyes looking up at you. “You’ll forgive me, won’t you?”

There’s a disturbance in your head—an indecision—toiling and swirling like a storm, making you sweat, almost shiver. Should you behave for once? Do what he wants and avoid another punishment—or do you still feel like fighting? Is your dignity worth it? Do you still wish to take the risk and run now that you’re unfettered and free to try again? Or would you like to finally give it up?

This is a test. You know it. No doubt.

He’ll surely catch you if you try. You know that, too. It’s been proven, and you’re not foolish enough to keep holding onto any such false thing as hope.

So then, why try?

Well, it’s a stupid question, and yet you find yourself contemplating it—whether you should try anyway, even when failure is guaranteed. You think, now that you're really thinking about it, the only thing keeping you going is sheer and hollow principle.

Yes, principle—one based on the understanding that if you try, even if you fail, you can at least say you tried—one where the simple thought of giving is detestable. Back then, even weighing the options was unthinkable. Do or die—no in-between, nothing more or less.

But that fire within feels faint now—a low flame just barely weathering the storm, all alone in the cold, in the dark, just waiting for a final gust to blow it out once and for all.

It's an ugly thought, but you think what you really want isn't to find the strength to keep fighting but for someone to say it's okay to stop. You just want a sanction—a blessing—someone to blow the candle out for you.

And acknowledging that, you might as well blow it out yourself.

If the point holds no value, then fighting for it must be even more empty—right?

You sigh.

“It’s not that bad." Lifting a hand, you run it smoothly through his tousled locks with a smile. “Actually, it already feels better.”

The worst or best part about it is how strangely freeing it is—now that you’ve let go. The trouble of remaining vigilant and hostile is an exhausting feat, and now that you’ve put it to rest, you’re left feeling unfettered—like you can finally breathe again.

He kisses your knee, then rests his chin atop it—giving you a similar smile. “I’m glad.”

That’s Not My Neighbor (1) | Yandere Bnha

“I’m sure you didn’t have a nose piercing the last time I spoke with you, Mister Kirishima. Besides you're not on today's list.”

“Wait it’s not what you think please–”

“Sorry.” 

As apathetic as your reasoning you clicked the button and began to dial the D.D.D. It didn’t matter that there was frantic and harsh banging against the closed metal doors. All that did matter was that the shouts and struggles of D.D.D agents were quieting down. The metallic door came up to show the mysterious build of the building’s agent. 

“The cleaning protocol is completed. You may continue your job.”

“Thank you.”

You look down to reorganize and once over the documents you had; stopping when you find the agent still standing in front of your window, gas mask, and all. 

“Do you need something?”

Instead of apologizing or defending themselves they simply stood there. Rolling your eyes you put the documents down, sending a light glare. They were in the way of possible residents. Which means wasting time on your shift. 

It was three minutes before a voice crackled again. 

“You—took up more shifts.”

Resisting the urge to sneer you took to restacking your papers while you answered. 

“I did. Is there a problem?”

“I thought the other guy would be here at this time.”

Refusing to hide your anger this time you slammed your papers down as you leaned back in the chair.

“On the books he is but he had an emergency so I’m filling in, my shift is next anyway.”

“...Are you getting paid for this?”

So that was why…You sighed, no longer scrunching your eyebrows. Flashing a small smile you straightened your posture.

“He owes me a favor and lunch; so I’ll be okay.”

They stood a little while longer before bowing their head and making their way out of the building. You wondered if this meant one of you was going to get fired. Pushing that aside you continued to look ahead waiting for the next possible resident to walk through.

Your gaze was so fixed on the window you failed to hear the squeaking of the door of your office and the steps behind your back. Only squealing when your chair suddenly twirled around to reveal an intruder.

“HIya (Y/n)!”

“Eeep!”

“Don’t get so nervous just wanted to stop by!”

It was Denki Kaminari,  resident in F2-03 shared with Hitoshi Shinso, piercings on his ears, yellow hair with a black stripe, and an occasionally derpy look on his face. His current employment is as a private electrician, which means he’s often called out for emergencies and may not always be on the list. 

Which he isn’t because he’s got the day off. 

“Sir Kaminari please don’t surprise me like that. I am working.”

“Sir?! Ouch, (Y/n) you wound me!”

He fakes a shot to the heart wobbling around before dramatically falling onto the floor.

“It’s not healthy to take a job as dangerous as harshly as you do. You know all the residents have countermeasures.” 

It’s Shinso Hitoshi, a private detective, and D.D.D reporter, with crazy purple hair and eyes with bags under them, and a hanging earring on his left ear. He also isn’t on the list today. Figures, his work is sporadic and Shinso is an insomniac homebody. 

“Yes, but my job is meant so that you won’t have to use them. I must stay vigilant against Doppelgangers.”

He sighs and scratches at his unruly head. He kicks his partner who is still playing dead on the floor. Kaminari stands up swiftly to once again invade your space as you fail to scoot your chair away. 

“So have you eaten today?”

You pushed him away, turning to your window once again, scanning the perimeter before speaking over your shoulder. 

“I keep myself hydrated when I’m working.”

Shinso sucked his teeth, coming to your right side as he glances at the files you’ve neatly organized. Kaminari follows his lead going on the opposite side to poke at your phone and the list. You swatted his hands away.

“That doesn’t sound like an answer.”

You sighed, “Relax. My coworker promised to give me lunch as compensation for taking his shift.”

What should have soothed their worries instead made them more upset. Both of them glaring at you. 

“If he’s going to give you lunch but you're taking his shift today, that means you’re not eating lunch today.”

“Yeah..what he said!”

You sighed again standing from the chair to turn the both of them away. Putting your foot down–you cross your arms and look at them with your customer-service smile,” As an extension of D.D.D I’m tasked with not only guarding the door from doppelgangers but protecting my health. 

Kaminari was making that infamous dumb face and Shinso was just about mirroring him.” 

Nonetheless, you continued,” It’s important to the D.D.D that their door people are in their best working conditions and I am paid handsomely to do that. “

Shinso was the first to try to speak narrowing his eyes as though he was questioning the validity of the statement. 

“Wait, hold on–”

But you continued, “If you have any complaints, please call the non-emergency number if you’d like to make a complaint.”

As if timed perfectly a knocking at the glass had you hurriedly hopping and turning in your chair to look through the window. Looking more exhausted than Hitoshi was what looked like the teacher Aizawa Shouta, who was glaring at the couple past your head. 

“I’m about to file a complaint if you don’t check my ID and Entry request.”

“Sorry sir. Right away sir.”

Nothing was out of line, everything matched and thus you let him in. A passing glance at the reflection behind you showed both of them sporting an annoyed grimace. Sending a side–eye to the grumpy teacher their gazes were still fixed on you. 

“(Y/n) if you’re the only one working you need to take an appropriate break.”

“I already said–”

“No (Y/n) whether the D.D.D okays it or not this isn’t healthy.”

Hitoshi’s interruption was a lot harsher than his usual speech, the kind you imagined he used when speaking to captured doppelgangers. It made your skin crawl and the hairs on your arms stand up. 

Feeling the heat of someone’s breath on your neck, you hadn’t noticed Kaminari closing the gap between you two. You wanted to turn but you could feel his arms cross over the arms of the chair trapping you in your seat and leaving you far too close to look him in the eye. 

“I think as concerned neighbors we ought to intervene. What do you say Hito?”

“Guys I haven’t been working that long really–”

“I think that’s a great idea.”

Taking advantage of the wheels on your chair Kaminari pulled you away from the desk, holding you in your chair to the doorway leading to the apartments. Hitoshi made quick work of your station closing everything locking the doors and closing the office window slot. 

“But there’s only one more for my shift please—at least let them in!”

At your behest, Hitoshi rolled his eyes looking at the list of expected tenants before scowling at the one uncrossed name on the list. 

“I honestly think having a doppelganger is better than him.”

You wanted to protest but Kaminari quite easily tossed you over his shoulder as he skipped down the hall. Watch from your bobbing perspective as Hitoshi easily locks up your office with your backpack in hand. How did he know where the key is?

Trying to speak up, you were shaken by Kaminari trying to get your attention with his smile as though he wasn’t abducting you. 

“So what should we have for lunch (Y/n)? Beans and Rice? Meatballs? Katsudon?”

“Come on (Y/n). He’s not going to stop until you say what you’re going to eat.”

[sadlynotthevoid]

It's sad that most fics with the Accidental Vigilantism tag are only BNHA fics.

Like, I want to see Jason "I don't know what being normal is" Todd go around doing lowkey and not so lowkey hero/vigilant stuff while thinking he's just being a good neighbour.

Maybe when he was a kid a neighbour helped him or saved him and went like "we're all from the Alley, we have to help ourselves. That's what neighbours are for" and he ran with it. And maybe Bruce did told him not to use Robin movements because he's Bruce Wayne's son and that's sus, but he took it too literary. Like, "helping is okay as long as I don't act like Robin" and later on he keeps with this.

Except now he's not Jason Todd-Wayne anymore, he's just Jason Todd from the next door. It's not strange if he can fight a bit, right? (He doesn't have idea what a bit is like).

More than once he ends up taking down a hideaway of a traffic ring as himself and doesn't think twice of it. He just saw someone being dragged into a van so he followed them. By feet? Why yes, he runs in his free time. Why didn't he call the police? This is Crime Alley, in Gotham. What police? How did he deal with all those guys by himself? Muscles and Home Alone shenanigans.

His vigilant identity is only safe because people either believe he doesn't have one or he's other cape. There're bets going on about which one he is.

Once, he's at college when an enormous sculpture starts falling down almost crushing a bunch of students. Almost. A moment Jason is there, talking with his friends, the next he's holding the thing from reaching the floor by its legs. What? He's a big guy and works out a lot.

Tall, dark hair, bright blue-ish eyes and Strong? That day 'Superman' is added to the list.

[daboyau]

I think number 16 for those dialogue prompts with tgim au has the potential to be very upsetting 😊👀❤️

This took way too long! Some minor spoilers for Izuku’s future situation in TGIM, but I don’t think it’s anything people didn’t expect lol

(it was so hard not to get this beta read just out of habit lol)

I love you and hope you’re doing good and will enjoy!!! For the uninitiated this is a bnha fic where Izuku gets kidnapped and raised by Chizome from a young age. You can read it here! Warning for death of an unnamed hero ✌️

. .

Izuku waited until Stain left before he dared to show himself. He was never sure whether it would help or not, having someone there to witness their final moments. It wasn’t like he’d be able to help them. Stain would see the blood on his clothes and know if he tried. He always knew, even when Izuku was extra careful.

Still, he couldn’t bear the thought of letting them be alone.

It hadn’t been a clean kill, leaving the woman choking on blood as it bubbled up to fill her throat with every struggling breath. That had been intentional; Stain was far too competent for it to be anything else. Maybe it was a final chance. Some twisted version of kindness, to leave her survival up to fate or karma. Like this, if someone were to find her soon enough, she might have a chance of surviving. 

Too bad no one had come to investigate the soft, desperate sounds she made since Izuku had begun his vigil. They knew that Stain haunted alleys, and few passersby’s would be willing to risk running into such a monster face to face.

She’d noticed him immediately, desperate eyes tracking his cautious movements from the roof, down the fire escape, and into the cover of the dumpster’s shadow. Not that he’d been making any effort to hide himself from her; she wouldn’t be around long enough to tell anyone about him. Still, with the amount of blood she’d lost, it was an impressive feat that she was still conscious and present enough to do so.

Her eyes had gone wide, her mouth flapping uselessly, and a bloodied hand had reached towards him. It had only trembled an inch off the ground before it had flopped bonelessly to the dirty concrete, her strength failing her. Izuku hadn’t moved closer despite how she had been gazing at him with the kind of misplaced desperation and hope that made his stomach churn.

“God, I'm so sorry,” he rasped, fingernails biting into the calloused skin of his palms and he balled his trembling hands into tight fists. He felt his stomach churn as he looked at that blood soaked hand, and the wedding ring on it, and remembered that she had a husband and a two year old daughter waiting for her at home. He’d begged Chizome to leave her alone, but whatever she’d done had been too much for the man to overlook. Izuku forced himself to give her a shaky smile. “It'll be over soon, I promise," he lied. “Help is on the way.”

He’d tried not to look at her face as he settled himself into a crouch, back pressed against the wall, hidden from view of the entrance to the alley. He hated having to watch them die in places like this. Surrounded by filth and all alone, except for Izuku, here to wait with them until their final breath. Izuku was rarely able to dissuade the man who had raised him from going after anyone, once he’d set his mind to it. This was his way of apologizing for that failure, in the only way he could.

The woman gurgled again, eyes rolling in her head, fingers curling around empty air. Tears were tracing their way down her face, droplets catching in the first hint of laugh lines around her glassy eyes. Her mouth was curling soundlessly around a name, and Izuku felt his breath catch in his chest, and he wondered briefly if his own mother would ever say his name with such a heartbreaking sorrow. 

She would be ashamed of him, if she could see him now. Maybe she’d be relieved to be free of the tether around her neck that was having Izuku as a son, if she were to be in the same place as this woman. He swallowed hard, trying to ignore the nausea tightening his throat. 

With a final wary glance towards the mouth of the alley, Izuku braced himself and crept slowly forward. Mindful of the blood, he circled until he could settle outside its reach. Then, he reached out and gently took her hand, giving it a slight squeeze. He could feel her pulse fluttering weakly against his fingertips, a final desperate attempt to live. 

“It’s okay. You’re safe. I’m here now; you can rest now.” 

There was a small return of pressure as she tried to squeeze his hand back. Her eyes, no longer seeing the world around her, slid closed. There was the smallest hint of a relief curling the edges of her mouth as she drew her final breath. 

[vaguelyaperson]

I appreciate the theme that citizens are gonna be more vigilant of helping others from here on out, and that even small acts of kindness can make you a hero to someone... but like... the rest of the bnha ending? Blegh.

[kimbapkimbapp]

⚠️BNHA SPOILERS⚠️

Some of my theories!

1.All Might is going to die because of the AFO battle (please Hori don't kill him tho)

2.Katsuki (now it's confirmed that he's gonna live) is going to rencounter Izuku with a big ass hug and a couple of tears.

3.Toga is also going to survive and maybe she is admitted in the UA under vigilance.

The third one is so delulu lmao

[dabistits]

If horikoshi had even 10% more guts to go with the plot he created end*avor would have died when the touya reveal happened.

while i'm personally pro-endeavor public execution i do think there could've been interesting things to do with keeping him alive. it could say something about who gets away with private violence, it could say something about who gets the opportunity of a second chance, it could say something about how the role he actively plays and the institution he contributes to as a superpowered cop directly let survive with his literal life and public life intact -

but it just does none of that because it's like "endeavor is actually a Good Person and he Feels Bad so that's why he deserves a second chance❤️" bcs bnha's entire narrative strives to distance individuals from the systems they uphold - which the narrative argues is Fundamentally Good anyway and anyone who slips through the cracks is just a sad example they need to be more vigilant towards, as though the system isn't fundamentally an accomplice to many types of violence.
