#hero and villain universe

Hero winced as Mentor pulled the bandages through his fingers. She stoutly ignored his quiet hiss. A part him wanted her to tell him it would be alright, that he was doing well, but that wouldn't happen.

He hadn't gotten any kind words since the start of intensive training and he never got them from Mentor. It just wasn't how she worked.

"You're sloppy with your forms." Mentor said shortly. "I shouldn't have to teach you basics at this point."

"Yes ma'am."

"Have you been practicing them? Or have you just been goofing off with the other trainees?"

Hero chewed his lip as she finished bandaging his hands. "I...I guess I've been slacking off. I just wanted a break."

Mentor let out an aggravated snort. Her cold eyes met his and shivers ran down his spine. "You can't afford to slack off. The agency picked you as their next star hero; if you keep neglecting your training they'll drop their sponsorship with you."

"I know, but-!"

"No! No buts Hero!" He flinched back from her. "You have a duty to the people now. Every lesson you choose to ignore is the possibility of someone's death."

"Yes ma'am...but-..." Mentor stopped him with a snarl. For a few moments there was only silence. "All I do is train now."

Mentor got to her feet and went over to the weapons rack. She selected a pole-staff. "Welcome to being a Hero. Nothing you do will ever be for yourself. Everything you are is for the people you need to protect. If you don't work towards this? You are nothing. If you aren't fighting a villain you'll be here training or speaking to the public to garner their love. That's what it is to be a hero."

The cold sterility of her expression when she turned to face him made Hero feel sick. "What if that's not what I want anymore? What if I don't want to be a hero?"

"You don't want anything anymore." Mentor tossed him his own staff. "You're just a tool. Now be a good one and train."

You and the League of Villains meet someone with a quirk that can show people alternate life paths if things had turned out differently.

Everyone’s a little “ehhh idk” about trying it, so Shigaraki, being the leader, is willing to go first.

He sees himself growing up, getting away from his abusive household, and leading a normal life.

Shigaraki is like, this is pretty mundane.

Until he starts seeing images of himself with someone else— you. He sees you kiss him and he’s in complete disbelief.

The images fade away and he’s already demanding another go, “Show me another path.”

In the next one he has the decay quirk, but he’s a rescue hero. He works alongside another hero— you, again. He sees you holding his hand and he’s still in disbelief.

“Okay, that’s enough.”

Afterwards, Shigaraki knows that everything he saw is unattainable—

His eyes drift over to you and he keeps replaying the intimate moments in his head.

Except you.

My Hero Academia AU: Road Trip

An Ambush Simulation Prequel

I am a little ashamed that this one was in progress for so long and I have only three pages to show for it, but I got so burned out with it that I just thought, "Damn, I'm done." So sadly I'm wrapping up Road Trip as a slice-of-life brief.

I bit off a little more than I could chew and found out I have zero interest in drawing vehicles the hard way. Still, I'm happy with how Shimura's motorcycle turned out.

I have to admit as much as there is a toxic yaoi kind of vibe with Stobotnik—part of the appeal for me is that it’s kid cartoon villain toxic yaoi. Sure they’re out for world domination—but they’re doing it in the most silly way possible. All the flair, little serious effort.

Eventually they settle into a dynamic that’s just Sonic and Co vs the Robotniks but it’s got zero actual stakes on either side. Sonic and Co is invited to their wedding, and then they’re back at fighting each other a week later.

Despite this Robotnik and Stone are fulfilled by trying to plan and execute evil schemes despite never succeeding (they are annoyed by this) and Sonic and co also get to let some energy out by thwarting them. Symbiosis.

Each Robin is a direct reflection of attitudes towards the youth, racism, sexism and treatment of other minorities during their run. Each of them have a distinct character, from beginning to end of their individual run, which is represented in their original characterisations and those that they have been built upon, and can actively provide sources for attitudes towards minorities, women, and the youth during their time period and this should be more explored and more people should use comics as a way to explore attitudes and media of the time because it is an active reflection of the world we are/were living in at the time. In this essay, I will-

Prompt (390)

The hero stared at the villain in disbelief. “You’re the one who’s been paying my medical bills? Why?”

The villain rolled their eyes. “What, just because I’m evil I can’t believe in universal healthcare?”

Kara floats to her feet, Y/N readies for battle…

Kara: (purrs) is that the best you got?

Y/N: I am gonna marry you someday

Kara: what?

Y/N: what? I-I mean I’m gonna…I don’t know.

Kara speeds up and kisses Y/N…

Kara: so when’s the wedding?

The Justice League knowing Bruce's Civvie ID aside, have they never consider the thought of Bruce Wayne being a Villain/Crime Lord?

Bare with me right now.

A majority of the Gotham elites are corrupt or some kind, and with Oswald Cobblepot, Black Mask, and Harvey Dent ending up being Rogues to prove that point, its normal to doubt literally any Gotham elite.

And It's most definitely normal to doubt Bruce Wayne.

He's got the Villain backstory. Dead parents? Grew up in a crime infested city? The CEO of a multi billion dollar worth Company? One of the most suspiciously successful men in the globe? Has a butler who quite literally looks like he'd be a secret agent? He's got it all! Gotham is lucky he didn't end up actually becoming a Villain. Not to mention, the similarities and the comradeship with Lex Luthor, a publicly known nemesis of a Justice League member(cough cough* Superman).

What about all the fundings and donations you ask? Since a majority of them are perfectly timed after a certain catastrophy happens or quite literally raising fundings for a rebuild of some property damaged from a fight or so, they think it's just Bruce trying to fix the flaws of his plan, fixing the mistakes of the people he is in charge of, and so on.

Even the Villains and Rogues have the same opinion about Bruce. The way they see Bruce Wayne changing his whole personality and posture whenever a threat is around, the way his glare shows the calculative and knowing glint all over, and the way he negotiates and make deals with the seriousness and the coldness of his whole presence. They know Bruce is definitely onto something.

Being suspiciously nice and too skillful as a public celebrity may be a mistake on Bruce's side

But at least no one would think Bruce is Batman... This is somewhat better than that.

I finally finished my version of the Joker! I really hope someone will like my JJ and I'll see fanart on him^^

It also has references to two artists in it, @bepoucorp (earrings) and @jonkleringjerster (tailbone tattoo).

Thanks for the inspiration, guys!

"When the people find out you don't care about them they'll revolt. And I'll be happy to be the one to tell them."

Hero laughed at the empty threat. "There's a story about a rich man who decided to open an orphanage and he tells a priest about it but he changes his mind." Hero tilted his head to get a good look at Villain's baffled expression.

"He tells the priest that he's opening the orphanage for the wrong reasons: he wants the praise from doing it and doesn't give a damn about the orphans."

"...and?"

"The priest says that he should do it anyway. The orphans don't care about why they have a roof over their heads, just that they do."

Villain's eyes widened with the epiphany. "It doesn't matter if you only became a hero for the perks..."

"It only matters that I'm effective." Hero finished with a smirk.

My Hero Academia AU: Sleeping Habits

A short comic for Ambush Simulation.

Summer Camp with UA and the Wild, Wild Pussycats.

This one’s a parody since this is a scene from Durarara x2!! and therefore this part will not be appearing in the Ambush Simulation fic.  It’s still funny to think about, so here's a little bonus while I work on the next chapter.

I don’t know if there’s a market in the simping community for post-shower hair Spinner, but if there is…you’re welcome?

I have no explanation for why Compress would wear the mask while asleep. (The original was a dude wearing a gas mask because he was worried about polluted air.)  Maybe he knows Dabi sleeps like a maniac and, on realizing he got the futon next to his, opted to wear some facial protection to avoid getting slapped in the face by the oblivious little shit.

Also, the headcanon that Dabi talks in his sleep...sure, why not?

...

Dabi:  Why are you wearing that mask?

Compress:  Nothing to be concerned about.

Dark!Piper is my Roman Empire. I’m loving this glimpse of her.

Brad: Stop trying to be a hero, Loki. You're a villain. You're good at it. Do that.

Loki: ...Fine. *he plays the villain and torture Brad*
