#i got inspired by the galar gym leaders for hawks

[pokemonswshbutionlyplayedsword]

If the Galarian Gym Leaders and Galar Champion Leon were superheroes what names and superpowers would their superheroic alter egos have?

Now I can make this incredibly easy or impossible for myself. First of all, I'm not gonna name them because I'm trash at names for anything, but I am gonna limit myself. Because with some of these I can just give them the power of their element and be done with it, but I don't wanna make it that easy for myself.

Milo is a shapeshifter. He can turn into any pokemon he knows of. That's his setback, though. He has to know the pokemon, what it looks like, ect. to be able to turn into it. He works on his farm by day, but at night, he's running through the streets disguised as a stray Boltund sniffing out crime. (I also am trash at designing superheroes so someone else can do that.)

Nessa can turn her body into water. You wanna punch her? You're punching a wall of water, dummy. And any boundary that isn't water tight might as well be an open door to her. Watch out for that glass of water, if she finds a puddle, she can teleport to any other nearby source of water. And she can join with larger bodies of water and move the entire thing to her will so long as she's a part of it. Needless to say, no one can find where she lives because she vanishes into a random person's pool when someone tries to follow her.

Kabu has laser vision. Seems underwhelming that that's the only thing he can do, which is what caused him to leave Hoenn and look for inspiration elsewhere, but it's actually incredibly dynamic and useful (as Leon would go on to teach him). He's got the eyes of a hawk, too, so ranged attacks are his specialty. Needs reading glasses for some reason, though.

Bea has super strength. She's an expert brawler and has accelerated healing. She's an absolute tank. She's not completely impervious though. She has to concentrate to keep her powers hidden until she needs to use them, as she could easily go overboard with her strength if she's not in control.

Allister is a master of camouflage. He can turn invisible, and phase through walls. Like a ghost. Tragic backstory? You know it. He's not exactly out on the hero scene yet, but Bea is training him for when he's old enough. He may not be much for a brawl, but he'll be imperative for spying.

Opal's not a fighter, but she does have powers. When she touches something with her bare skin, she can see the past. She constantly wears gloves so that she can avoid seeing absolutely everything. She's well known through Galar, and when there's a mystery waiting to be solved, she jumps at the opportunity.

Gordie has power absorption. When he touches something, he can gain the qualities of it. He sticks to rocks and minerals because they're tough and hardy, but when he gets his hands on diamond or steel? Oooooh boy, you're in for a world of hurt. He's the only person in his family that doesn't have weather control, but he's not ashamed of himself. He works with what he has.

Melony can manipulate the weather. She tends to summon blizzards more than anything, but can you blame her? Blizzards work for almost anything. Her powers were passed down through her family for years, so she's been trained since she was a child. She's one of the most skilled heroes in Galar.

Piers is an unconventional hero. More like a vigilante, and he's new to the scene as well. He has powers similar to Raven from Teen Titans, where he can manipulate dark energy, telekinesis, create portals, etc. He's untrained and unrestrained, all while trying to manage his sister, who has the same powers as him. By night, he's a rock star, by other nights, he's a hero making a (fake) name for himself.

Raihan has super speed. He's the fastest person in Galar, possibly the world. By the time a criminal has made it to him, he's already gotten a seafood dinner from Hullbury. He's also trained in multiple fighting styles, so you better believe those kicks were fast as lightening. He doesn't even bother with a secret identity, because what are criminals gonna do about it? He's already gone.

Leon is the figurehead of superheroes in Galar, since he's the best known and the most powerful. He's taken in all the other gym leaders at some point and taught them what he knows. They're a pseudo-group even, despite all having their own cities to defend. Leon can slow time down, giving the impression that he has super speed, but he can actually bring others with him. He can slow it to the point where essentially he's free to do whatever he wants for hours without anyone moving or seeing him, but he can't actually completely stop time. Raihan first thought of him as a rival because he thought they had the same powers, but now it's a playful rivalry since everything was cleared up.

I know that some of these could have worked for others, too, but I'm pretty satisfied with this. Like weather manipulation could have easily gone to Raihan, but it just seemed too easy, and I think Melony would use it very differently than how he would. Anyway, as always, you guys are free to make things based off my posts, and I encourage it. Surprisingly, Nessa was the one I had the hardest time with.

wip roundup

I have been tag-teamed by @autisticmidoriyas and @yamadadzawa so I guess it’s my turn! Thanks for inviting me to share my many ideas, both of u xD

Just gonna preface this by saying that I have only three actual in-progress and posted wips at the moment, so I’ll split this into written and currently unwritten. In addition, while most of my ideas are for BNHA, I have a few for Haikyuu as well that I’ll include.

 BNHA

1. The Soul Behind The Quirk: Currently the fic I’ve written the most content for, and it’s been tonnes of fun to write!. It basically started with the thought “what if Izuku could see like... souls?” and it spiralled from there. It starts with Hisashi, an S-class villain (not AfO though), coming to Izuku and Inko’s home. He and a currently unnamed accomplice murder Inko and heavily injure Izuku, leaving Aizawa to rescue him from the burning apartment. Izuku force-manifests a quirk from the stress of the experience.

2. Dancing through Embers: This one is still in the baby stages, but it features quirkless, trans Izuku and Hitoshi, graffiti artist Hitoshi, vigilante Izuku, vigilante and brotherly Dabi (eventually, it’s a bit far down the line at the moment), and eventual parental Aizawa. Also featuring the characters in Karasuno from Haikyuu!! You don’t need to know anything about Haikyuu to enjoy them, but they’re a nice addition for those who do. This one’s more serious than most of my other fics so far, and I’ve outlined a lot more than the rest. I’m actually quite proud of what I’ve planned, and you may take that as you will ;)

3. A Study of Soulmates: You want a soulmate AU? You want good dad Hisashi? Want a quirkless Izuku who doesn’t ever step foot into UA? Want an Izuku that will eventually work in a coffee shop as an informant on the side? Well this is the place for you! This one is in it’s early early stages; like I just started posting last month, early. It’s mostly going to be fairly light-hearted, with both platonic and romantic soulmates, but Tododeku is planned as a main pairing and there will be plenty of shenanigans surrounding them.

3. I’m falling to pieces (falling to pieces): A oneshot that is still being written. I’ve seen a lot of fics where Aizawa and/or his classmates find out about Izuku’s previous quirklessness somehow, and this was actually inspired from this post by @zippodippo! Features all the dadzawa content!

4. Dragon!Quirked Izuku AU: This hasn’t had too much thought beyond “I want to make Izuku a dragon” and “Ooooh what if he was taken in by the Hero Commission just like Hawks?” Basically in this fic, his quirk manifested a little late and quite violently; he effectively goes feral for a short while until heroes are called in to subdue him. He would have been pardoned for his quirk use considering it happened while he was afraid and under significant stress, but the power his quirk had even then caught the Commission’s attention and they basically forced Inko and Hisashi to hand him over. There isn’t a lot they can do about it.

5. Shady Dealings: Doesn’t really have an end goal at the moment, but this basically started from “I want to write a villain/informant AU that I feel would be true to Izuku’s character,” and it resulted in this. Inko works as a nurse/doctor of sorts in the underground for villains, vigilantes, or just people who can’t afford an actual hospital for whatever reason. Hisashi works as a support mechanic of sorts for the underground, mostly for vigilantes and for the poor division of the population who can’t afford traditional prosthetics. Both of them take payment in the form of money, favours, or both. They’re also very careful to keep anyone from targeting Izuku, and make active attempts to get him into a more lawful line of work, but that backfires of course. I plan for it to be pretty lighthearted despite the serious subject.

6. Everyone is Brainwashed: I see a lot of fix-it fics where those involved are often like “why didn’t I see/notice this before?” and I thought “well... what if it’s because everyone literally can’t?” The basic premise is this: when UA was first being planned and built, AfO placed a very subtle but very wide-ranged brainwashing on anyone involved in major decisions regarding the school. He can’t change how anyone under influence acts in a major way, but he can, for instance, make someone decide not to put in place one safety measure or another. This is a chink he eventually takes advantage of through the USJ arc. Things are going quite well for him until one Izuku Midoriya walks in completely unaffected by the brainwashing zone he’s put in place.

7. Anomaly!AU: Basically if Izuku is an SCP from SCP: Containment Breach. I’ve taken a fair amount of creative liberties with this one, partially because I have never actually played the game and partially because fitting things like that into a world of quirks can be a little tricky. He’ll be an SCP of my own design, I’ve actually drawn him quite a bit at this point, but he wasn’t originally one. AfO took him as a child and felt like experimenting so he sort of crammed a lot of weird, random quirks into him, but it kind of backfired, and Izuku became something not quite human anymore. There’s not a whole lot planned yet but I have some ideas!

Haikyuu!!

1. Lightning Strikes Twice: Basically a HTTYD AU with some creative liberties. Hinata is a rare lightning Dragon, known in the racing world for his speed. The only problem is, his paired rider is abusive and keeps pushing and demanding, always telling him he isn’t good enough even though he keeps trying. Kageyama is a renowned dragon rider, known for his excellent control on the saddle and for being able to navigate racing courses even veterans find hard to clear. However, he never manages to find a dragon he truly connects with, and to make it far in the racing industry, that kind of connection is basically a requirement. Tragic accidents drive them from their old teams and bring them to Karasuno, where they both get a fresh start.

2. Giant Crow Hinata: Almost everything is the same except Hinata isn’t human, and lives in the mountains with his family, who are also not human. I haven’t decided what exactly they are past giant creatures of some sort. Hinata belongs to a clan of giant bird creatures, and he specifically is a crow. One night in a storm, he gets injured and ends up in Kageyama’s back yard. Kageyama’s mother patches him up and sends him home, but he comes back, and eventually he and Tobio end up in a routine of sorts where Hinata will sit there and listen to Tobio talking about volleyball. One day, Hinata arrives but he’s in a more human-like form and demands that he let Tobio try and play with him. That’s about all I got for that so far.

3. Pokemon AU: This one is. So involved, mostly on the worldbuilding side of things. For those who know anything at all about the main series Pokemon games, this will be set in Galar (Sword/Shield). Hinata grows up wanting nothing more than to be a Pokemon Ranger (they have a slightly different role than “canon” here), whereas Kageyama was born from a Gym Leader and the CEO of an influential company and has had heavy expectations on him basically since birth. The stress and fear of failure make him cold and controlling at first, so when he does his first run of the Pokemon League, he fails. He gets advice to visit the Wild Area where a certain Ranger spends most of his time. Needless to say, when he meets this scrawny, wild-haired little Ranger, he is not expecting it to be while he himself is being chased around by an angry Dragon-type until Hinata arrives and calms it down by just being there. He has many questions.

Aaaaand that’s it I believe! If any of you want to ask me questions about these, feel free to leave an ask! I’d be happy to talk about them more :D As for tagging, uhhhh... I dunno, @plusultrachaos, @faelwenholdsthelight, and @psychicshr00m, if y’all haven’t done so and would like to do this!

Verses 5-6: Pokemon

{{How Bad Can I Be? I’m Doing What Comes Naturally}}

Elias’ pokeverse set during the events of Pokemon XY where he is serving as a lead scientist and alchemist for Team Flare in their endeavor to rebuild the Ultimate Weapon. Elias is the one who initially captured the Yveltal that would be used as half the power source for the weapon, before being tasked with creating a Philosopher’s Stone to help charge the ultimate weapon. Elias completes both these tasks, and loses his soul in the process to the Yveltal they had captured. Of course, Elias Hawke is the alias he uses within Team Flare.

To the public, he is Apollo Martin, famed composer and decorated pokemon trainer. Enough to the point where he is currently in the “queue” of those would replace one of the eight gym leaders if something had befallen one of them or one chose to retire. Tagged under v;; how bad can i be?

{{Taking Every Chance I Got Like the Man I Know I’m Not}}

Elias’ pokeverse for post XY, he works to try and recover his still lose soul and redeem his actions in Team Flare. With his family no longer in danger, Elias continues his career as a composer while leaving Kalos to instead move to Galar. There, he not only assists the Galarian Champion, Spirit Adney (found at @fallenxspirit​) but becomes one of the members of the region’s newly build Elite Five. He quickly grows to be considered one of the strongest trainer’s in Galar, being the 3rd in the order of those one would fight to reach the Champion. 

His history with Flare is completely unknown in Galar, and he does not run a type specialist team like many of his fellow elite league members. Instead Elias runs a team with inspirations from both music and alchemy. Tagged under v;; taking every chance i got.
