The Goalkeeper's Duty — Misa Rodríguez x Reader

Warnings: none

Word count: 645

Summary: Your love for Misa.

A/N: I really wanted to write for Misa but never got an idea to begin with. She's so stunning and her accent is so beautiful 💗

You'd never expected to fall for a Real Madrid player, especially the goalkeeper.

Every time you scored a goal against Real Madrid, you felt as if you wanted to throw up.

You had grown up being a huge Barça fan but still fell for your rival goalkeeper's charm.

You weren't quite sure when that happened; maybe it did when you spent time with Misa during Spanish National Team camp. You discovered how outgoing and funny she was, always teasing you for the slightest things but still being sweet towards you. 

The more time you spent with her, the more you wanted to know about her life, her family, and her place of birth. You even made the effort to watch some Real Madrid men's matches with her, and eventually you found yourself watching her play any time you could on your computer or phone.  

You both loved and hated to play against her. You were excited to be in the same place as her, but you felt completely defeated when you saw her devastated after playing against your team, even if you had won the game.

That's why you decided to break up. It was consuming you both and affecting your professionalism. How could it not? You would see your girlfriend on her knees crying, and you couldn't do anything, at least in public. 

You had remained friends with her even if you knew that you could never see her as one.

And you reaffirmed that when you had to play against her in the Spanish Supercopa's semifinal, ending the match by scoring two goals and being chosen as the MVP.

You were greeting every Real Madrid player after the match until you got to her.

Misa smiled at you, but in her eyes, you could only see guilt and shame.

You pulled her in for a hug and whispered in her ear, “God forbid me for saying this about Real Madrid, but I have wouldn't minded you stopping my goals.”

She laughed, “I thought you bleeded Barça.”

Back when you were together, you both loved to tease each other about your respective teams.

That playfulness was probably what had you hooked on your relationship's dynamic.

Playing against your lover's team and then spending the night with her. 

“You know I bleed Barça, but I lov— I have so much respect for you.”

You looked at her one more time and let her go as she went to quickly greet the rest of your teammates.

You decided to message her as you were completely sure of how hard she was on herself, especially the night after a defeat.

You had seen it after the defeat against Japan at the World Cup.

“Can I go to your place?”

You saw her typing every five seconds but not getting any response, so you tried to reassure her of your support and that you wanted nothing else but to be there for her.

“It's late and not safe. Let me drive to the hotel you're staying at, and then we can see what we do.”

Sneaking out of the hotel at almost 1 AM, you got into her car, laughing about how she was in her pyjamas.

“It's 1 AM; how did you expect me to be dressed up like?”

If you were being honest, you didn't want her in any clothes, not in a sexual way, though , but pure intimacy in the form of preparing her a bath where she could relax with you holding her in your arms.

A place where she didn't have to worry about Real Madrid and where you didn't have to worry about keeping up your team's name, even if that sounded hypocritical.

“Let's go home, Mimi.”

She smiled when you heard the nickname only you called her by, and that's when she realized you truly loved her for who she was.

RIP League of Villains, you were dead on arrival.

Listen, I’m not against humanizing villains but some people in the MHA fandom act like the LOV did no wrong and were only thinking about society.

Like.. did we watch the same show? The LOV stated multiple times that they basically wanted anarchy.

*Describes Shigaraki’s atrocities that fucked up their lives* “B-But he liked video games 🥺”

Good for him, HE STILL KILLED PEOPLE AND ONE OF THEM WAS A CHILD!

I honestly wish that people would address the league’s hypocrisy because it’s a genuinely interesting idea, I plan on tackling it in my fic.

But then again, whenever characters do address the league’s hypocrisy/rightfully doesn’t take shit, they get crucified.

(Aside from Enji and Overhaul, who deserve the shit beat out of them)

Hi @palesweetscherryblossom 👋

I love the leauge and the potential they had and Iam also not against humanising them but little of them actually deserve it would get a proper redemption.

A lot of people seem to forget that toga was already introduced as a serial killer (she killed 6 people and performed blood letting and you can go as far as cannibalism on them)

Or the fact that Dabi only cared about bringing down enji and never actually spoke up about the kids that died in Dr Garaki's hospital.

Or how shigaraki somehow knew all along that afo was manipulating him and done nothing but played into his games. Shigaraki also never proves himself as a leader or worthy of redemption in canon.

Or stain who went around killing heroes left and right. The same with muscular.

Or moonfish who was a cannibal

Oh or maybe compress who I still have no idea why he is evil to be honest or i just forgot.

They all done bad things which is why they are considered criminals while they could be humanised like toga, Dabi, shigaraki and spinner that doesn't actually excuse their actions. The leagues backstory is supposed to give us a reason or a look as into why they became the people they did and how society failed them but it's NOT supposed to justify or make their actions seem ok.

Also the hypocrisy that the leauge members have is actually interesting and could be explored as a character trait that they learn to develop out of or keep with them and it becomes an integral part of their character.

YOU CAN BE A VICTIM AND DO BAD THINGS. A Villain CAN BE A VICTIM AND DO BAD THINGS. THE TWO CAN COEXIST

I simply hate it when people can only look at the leauge as just victims who were completely justified and done nothing wrong when in reality they aren't!!

Now there are characters that I wouldn't give a redemption to like Dr garaki, AFO, overhaul, Enji and the comission but the other characters have a chance at being humanised or getting a meaningful redemption or ending

[quiteliterallyilliterate]

I saw your post and I think to ask you for a Yandere! Wild but Imagine this, isekai! Reader doesn't know anything about him or his game, is only a confused person who doesn't know how he got to this place.

Anyway, thanks for read this and sorry for my bad English, My first lenguaje is spanish and I'm not very sure for my English.

Order up!

I genuinely really like this idea so this was a lot of fun to write.

Enjoy!~

Tw: Yandere, obsessive, mentions of murder

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝

Long past were the days Link would protect anyone but himself. In the aftermath of the calamity, villagers were weary of those who traversed the land and of good reason. Many who did were simply were insane with the thought of leaving their inconsequential little hamlet to see the shattered world. Hatred for fellow man ran rampant, but the crazed look in the eyes of few who’ve lost themselves to Hyrule, Link couldn’t blame people’s cautiousness. Besides, it simply wasn’t within in his best interest being a protector anymore. There wasn’t much to really speak about the issue— Zelda probably would have if she were here, but she wasn’t, so blissful silence stood. He held no love in his heart for the people of Hyrule, much as they had none for him. They turned their backs on him, and so he does similarly to them. But you… you weren’t of Hyrule. So it was only natural to him that you’d be the exception.

Sent to him by strings of blue light, you awoke confused at first. You knew nothing of the lands nor people he spoke of, and eventually reached the conclusion that, you too were out of place in the world that now was. He couldn’t simply leave you at Hateno —they were cautious to accept him, they would never accept you as you are— so, instead, he just had to keep you. He played knight once before, so had hard could it truly be. So while you attuned yourself to your reality —while still ripping away for a chance back home, one he simply couldn’t permit— all he had to do was kill what turned their blades on you. It was rhythmic and mindless. But, as it turns out, He found it oddly more enjoyable to play knight when there was someone to kiss his wounds better after busting ass so you’d be safe. In reality it was you that made it worthwhile, not the work. You’d brush his hair and braid it so it wouldn’t mat, whispering stories of your home. Stories that much resembled myths with how far they were out of his hands. Stories you spoke through tight lips as he smiled. Stories that filled his head long after you stopped speaking. He’s never been much keen on people —or were they never keen on him?— and yet he couldn’t grapple if it was normal to feel this much over your friends.

His devotion to you was rooted deep within him, stiff and unwavering. It wound through his battered heart, patching it whole. As time passed and the roots grew deeper and deeper, lodging themselves more and more, he found his line of work expand. Monsters caused a threat, sure, but that begs the question— what really is a monster? That man who was following you? No way to tell what was going through his head. But it was better you’d be safe rather than him being alive. The mean shopkeep, patronising you for not fitting into a tunic? She’d ought to be nicer now she has no tongue. Homeless man lunging at your ankle? Can’t beg if he has no hands. All in the matter of keeping you safe. Hyrule was a very, very dangerous place. But you were lucky to have the Hero at your bidding. He waited on your call, on your order. Especially since you always made it worth it in ways of food and whatnot. He’d have given you his heart unseasoned if it meant you’d give him a kiss on the cheek. He’d forge the ring if it’d mean you’d marry him. He’d build a house where no man nor monster could find it so you’d live safe. He’d kill ganon a million times over so long as he could fall into your arms afterwards. You must understand how much he loves you. The time and care he’s put in, the blood he’s spilt in your name, he loves you. So much. Too much. Too much to let you go home to your stories. Your home is with him now.

Danny secretly reforming LoV

(aka there are benefits of having 2 forms and being an underground hero/ spy other than flushing out human trafficking rings)

Danny is a secret powerhouse.

Sure, he's got the powers and personality for his daytime endeavors, but that's always been Phantom.

Fenton, however, is a different story.

He's got a few useful powers, and he's been asked on several occasions to work with some underground heroes that he just ended up being some sort of a double agent. Phantom is daylight, Fenton is nighttime, and neither are getting any kind of sleep.

Tonight, he gets a tip from about a bar.

----------

Meeting the League of Villains like this was not something he had mentally prepared himself for, but due to his general experiences he's able to school his expressions pretty well.

He's advertised his quirk to his contact as a general enhancer. His senses and strength are different enough from his more physical ghost powers for this to be a solid play, and keeping these particular cards close to his chest has gotten out of more than a couple scrapes. So when he walks into the bar owned by the League, he stands a bit taller, quirks his head a bit more, sniffs the air, and narrows his eyes at everybody.

He's a big guy. He got his father's genetics when it came to height, and he comes up to a respectable 6'7", and with his many years of training and hero work, he's bulked out quite a bit. All this to say is, even Fenton is a formidable foe. In the lion's den, he's gotta show that he's not one to be messed with.

"Name's Yokai," Danny tells them. "I heard you might be looking for new members?"

-----------

It goes well enough. Danny proves he can bring his own natural talents to the table, and lies through his teeth enough to convince them he's fully on their side. And though he didn't lie about hating the government and the Commission, it's still a pretty solid performance.

There's a weird energy around Kurogiri that sends a cold shiver down his spine. It's enough to clock that there isn't something completely human going on, but not enough to actually activate his ghost sense, which in and of itself is a relief. He has no idea how he would explain that when it's not a part of his known quirks.

Instead, he talks with Spinner first.

He's a stoic kinda guy who seems to be higher up in the ranks due to his ability to keep up with Shigaraki in various video games. He doesn't say much, but when he does speak it's practiced, calculated, as if one wrong word will get him thrown out. Danny knows it's something he's probably had to deal with his entire life. Not everybody is so accepting of mutation quirks that are as drastic as Spinner's.

He's also one of Stain's followers, which will either make things incredibly complicated, or a little easier on him.

Toga is, too, and it looks like Dabi has his own plans. The League for him just seems to be a way to enact them without much getting in his way.

He shares hobby with Spinner and gossips with Toga while they do each other's hair. While he can't let her feed on him for obvious reasons, every time he visits them he makes sure to bring a bag with him that he steals from a random hospital.

With Magne they talk about different parenting tactics, because while neither of them technically are, they're close enough. Danny's got Elle and Magne has this colorful crew to look after. They also talk about sexuality and gender, and Danny has had no discomfort in showing her the twin scars on his chest.

If they hug it out after that particularly emotional conversation, well, everybody is smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

With Mr. Compress, he's more of a theatrical kind of guy. Danny brushes up on his Shakespeare, giving a million thanks to Mr. Lancer as he does so, so he can converse with the man. Danny shows him a few complicated card tricks that make Compress chuckle at him as if he's a child, but Danny doesn't find himself minding one bit.

He goes through the whole League like that, more or less. He doesn't know when this became less of an information-gathering mission and more of a gentle-reformation one instead, but he can't say the results aren't there. They all look a bit more relaxed and at ease. Danny finds himself wanting to take care of them.

He of all people understands what it's like being different. Growing up quirkless and then struggling after his accident, he's never quite fit in. Unfit for regular society, not human enough or ghost enough to properly be in either world. He finds that most of the League have the mindset they'd of because of how society has treated them. And while their actions haven't been okay, he can't say he doesn't understand. If he had had a worse support system he probably would have ended up just like them.

Kurogiri is the one he doesn't hang out with much. Not because of any particular reason. He's usually busy cleaning, or breaking up fights, or setting up meetings or off doing who knows what. Because of his fast travel ability he's constantly running errands for everybody.

But when he does take a moment and slow down, he and Danny share some tea together. Or rather, Danny drinks tea in Kurogiri's quiet comfort. His motivations seem more protective than they are malicious, and that's something that Danny understands all too well. Even if the one he's protecting is a mislead murderer.

Because of their naturally ghostly nature, the two can communicate seamlessly without words. There's this underlying current of emotions that only they're aware of, and Danny's not sure if Kurogiri really even notices. Having not been around ectoplasm or ghosts in general, it can be hard to put a name to what this weird emotional feedback loop is. But Danny's got plenty of experience under his belt to realize that it's ghost related.

With this feedback loop and Kurogiri's general vibe, he eventually figures it out. It takes him a long time, but once he learned it was possible, the answer seemed obvious.

Two souls forcibly inhabiting one body, and neither one of them are in true control. He's not really sure how it was done, and he's not sure how to fix it without completely blowing his cover. Going in and separating the parasite from the host wouldn't be too much trouble with his overshadowing ability, but it's not something he can just do in the presence of the League.

He sips his tea instead.

---------

There's something familiar about the name Shigaraki but Danny can't for the life of him place it. Maybe it's because he raided the USJ during a training exercise in a desperate attempt to kill All Might. Maybe it's because he's the leader and figurehead of the League. But it's more than that, isn't it?

He just can't figure it out.

-----------

Months go by like this. Danny brings them things like medical supplies, gloves for Shigaraki, books for Compress, some high end burn cream for Dabi to prolong the effects of his quirk. He takes care of them, and in turn they trust him with information. Not enough to really do anything with it, but sometimes they tell him about a drop that happened, or a supply run they're hitting. A man named Sensei is mentioned more often than not, and he has to wonder if they've told this guy about Danny as much as they've told Danny about Sensei.

He's more than a little intrigued by this mysterious boogieman, and more concerned by the second about the mental toll he's taken on Shigaraki.

It's obvious the kid-because that's what he is to an immortal like Danny-didn't have a nice childhood. With a quirk like his, he probably had a rough awakening. His parents either didn't accept it or they were killed, or maybe they abandoned him. Either way, the clear malicious intent Sensei has with Shigaraki rubs Danny the wrong way, but he's not sure how to broach the subject without setting him off, and tipping everybody off that he's not really who he says he is.

It all comes to a head when Danny is invited to meet this Sensei character. He goes through Kurogiri's portal somewhere in the middle of the pack, with Shigaraki leading the charge. They enter into this large, cavernous room with giant Nomu test tubes lining the walls. In the very back, sitting on a high chair above the reason of them, was a man that just had an overwhelming sense of wrong. Hooked up to dozens of machines, Danny could tell that this man was more powerful than most of the S-Tier villains and ghosts he's fought. And judging from the weird energy that's similar to Kurogiri's, with an underlying current of maliciousness, it's not a surprising realization to Danny that this person should be dead.

"Ah, the famous Yokai," the villain drawls. Danny narrows his eyes as he feels a prodding sensation in the back of his mind, and firmly puts up all of his mental defenses. He's been mind controlled enough to know what it feels like, and he's not about to let some boogieman get the advantage on him.

"Ah, it seems like your heightened senses are good for more than just surveillance," the man says.

"It's a fun little party trick," Danny replies, trying his best to keep the edge out of his voice. Judging from the side eye that Dabi gives him, it's obvious he doesn't do a very good job of it.

The League up to this point has always been pretty laid back. Dabi especially usually has this aloof vibe he puts off, but all of them seem to be on high alert now. Backs are straight and their attention is forcibly stolen by the man in the chair.

"It's not very often that my young pupil finds someone worth his interest."

The nagging feeling in the back of his head is back, a more forceful prodding this time, and Danny closes his eyes to focus on blocking the intruder out. When he opens them again, there's a distinct chill in the air, and everyone has taken a step back from him.

He doesn't need to look in a mirror to know that his eyes are a ghostly green.

Fuck.

"You should be dead," Danny tells Sensei. His voice has this unearthly echo too it, laired in a way that tells everybody he's got just as much power as the man sitting in front of them. There's a sense of danger coming from from him, but it's directed at Sensei. His protective aura washes over the League, wanting to keep them from this battle for their own safety.

He takes a deep breath in, and lets his transformation take place. As he does so, it's like a little piece to the puzzle has unlocked itself.

Years ago-nearly a hundred years ago now-Clockwork had told Danny about a man named Shigaraki. About how he's cheated death time and time again, and how he will continue to do so. Danny had asked if he needed to go and stop him, and Clockwork had said it wasn't the right time.

With the man right in front of him, Danny can't think of a better opportunity.

The League steps back and braces for battle, and as much as Danny understands, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

"I'm sorry for lying to you all," he tells them. "But for what it's worth, I truly do consider you to be friends."

Without anymore fanfare, Danny launches himself at All for One.

-----------

It's a long battle that takes down most of this mysterious warehouse they're in, as well as several of the nomus.

Danny pulls himself out of the rubble, stumbling as he does so. he's heavily injured, and ectoplasm is leaking out of him at an alarming rate, but dying is quite possibly the least of his worries.

During the fight, the League had tried to help, but it seems as though All for One wanted Danny to himself. He had protected them from AfO for as long as he could, but in the end Kurogiri was forced to take everyone away.

They would never trust him again. They would never want to be around him again. Danny should be okay with that because they're villains and he's a hero but he knows deep down that it's far more complicated than the black and white world most people want to believe in. Just because they're villains doesn't mean they're inherently bad people.

All for One is gone. Died and ended, with no hopes of ever coming back as a ghost, but in doing so he pushed away his friends. This little family he's found himself in.

There are helicopters and news anchors and paramedics and whatnot, and it's all too loud, too much, and it nearly overwhelms him.

So he disappears.

-----------

He doesn't want to go home to his lonely apartment so he doesn't. He can't call anybody or tell anybody because this is off the record and confidential to the nth level. So he goes to the one safe place he can think of.

Floating into the bar, he's not surprised to see it abandoned. Everything is still there, left behind by the previous owners, but nobody's there to greet him like usual.

It's fine. Danny expected this.

He didn't expect the ache in his core to come with it though.

He goes through the motions of hunting down a half decent first aid kit and gets to work, dumping alcohol on his wounds and sewing them up with practiced precision.

He's about halfway through with a particularly nasty gash on his arm when Kurogiri's portal opens in the middle of the bar, and the League steps out.

They look pissed, and Danny can't blame them. If he were them, he'd be pissed too. But now that his secret is out, he can finally do something he's been itching to do for months.

He ties off the stitches and wipes it down with a relatively clean rag before stepping up to Kurogiri. Everybody tenses, but with a nod from Kurogiri, they don't attack.

Danny transforms once more, and places his hands inside of Kurogiri's chest.

With his experience, it only takes a couple of minutes to separate the two. He pulls this purple, pulsing blob out of the host, and without anything to feed on, it dissipates.

Who's left is a man with clouds for hair and a bandage over his nose.

"i-I'm me again," he says, almost in awe.

"Took me a while to figure it out since I was undercover, but I figured that might help you out. Having a parasite forcibly put into your body like that can't exactly be good for your health."

"Thank you. Name's Oboro Shirakumo. Legally dead, I guess."

"Well, that makes two of us, I suppose."

"What do you mean? You're a daylight hero at the top of the charts, there's no way you're dead!"

Danny gives Toga a small, sad smile.

"Phantom is a daylight hero. Fenton, though...He's been legally dead for nearly a hundred years."

It takes a while to explain the accident and his growing up quirkless, but in the end, the League doesn't kill him. Maybe because they know it won't do them much good. But by the time he's done, he gives them an opportunity.

"Listen, I know things are complicated now, but...I've got a big house with more than enough rooms for everybody if you need a place to stay."

Wordlessly, the League looks to Shigaraki, who mulls over it for quite some time before shrugging.

"As long as it's better than this dump."

Danny can't help but give a relieved grin.

"Let's go home, then."

Random idea: here are the LOV as parents to your child. (this is written as female reader btw [no she/her, but pregnancy], so feel free to use your imagination!) [Also, this may be a long one, so I hope you got a few minutes]

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Dabi: Now this guy has no clue on how to be a good father due to his past, but what he does know is to not do what his dad did. When he finds out you're pregnant with his kid, he feels pissed off at first, but after thinking it over, he decides that he's okay with it. When you try to do something, he'll go and do it for you, out of frustration/annoyance and calls you a 'dumbass' for not asking him. He goes with you wherever you go as a 'bodyguard'. He relishes in the fact that he can use this as ammo against Endeavor, being a better father than his ever was. When he holds the baby for the first time after its born, he'll never show it (maybe a little grin), but this man has melted and he is smitten over his child. He's not one for baby talk or peekaboo, so he talks to his child like an adult, nix the cursing of course. When he and his child are alone, he tells it stories about his childhood and how he doesn't want them to go through what he did.

Verdict: emotionally distant, but an okay father.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Spinner: Totally clueless, he's still practically a child himself. When you tell him you're pregnant, he wonders how the hell that happened (he doesn't know how deep his quirk affects his genetics) and worries about how the kid will be treated if it ended up looking like him and if he'll be a good father or not. Poor lil ball of anxiety. You have to calm him down by telling him you'll be there to help and that no one is a perfect parent and that's okay. After calming down, he soon grows to the idea of having a little him or you around. He will constantly ask you how you're feeling and if you need anything, just a nervous sweetheart. Your pregnant belly is his favorite pillow to rest his head on while he's playing games. When he feels a kick, he feels a bit of satisfaction knowing that he put that in there. Once the baby is born, he is surprised that it's fully human. The minute he holds the baby and sees that it has his eyes, he starts crying, but tries to be manly about it. Little one grows up not being afraid of lizards or snakes because of their daddy. Spinner has his kid in his lap or sleeping on him while playing video games, gently putting them on a pillow nearby before raging over a loss in the game.

Verdict: worried but good gamer dad

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Twice: Oh man, this guy. You tell him you're pregnant, he is over the moon, hugging and kissing you. You're a seen how he acts around Toga, so you had no worries on his abilities. He'll be present at every doctor's appointment (or at least ask you many questions about them or have toga go with you if he can't make some of them) and you two have so much fun picking out names for it. This guy will be so protective of you that it's adorable and he will be your servant, doing whatever you ask. When he sees the baby for the first time, he is immediately in love. He will be a blubbering mess when he holds them. He does all the baby talk and peekaboos and is not ashamed of it. Later on, these two are inseparable. Partners in crime. (Seriously, this man deserves to have a loving partner and family after all the shit he's been through).

Verdict: all-time Dad of the Year award recipient

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Mr. Compress: Awkward dad. He never thought about having kids, didn't even want any. Until he met you. When you tell him you're pregnant, he is overjoyed. If this man treated you like a princess before, you have been upgraded to queen/goddess status. He is your servant; man will not let you lift a finger. Deep down, he is panicking over what to do or how to be a dad. But once he has his child in his arms, the yellow man is a mellow man. In love right away. Loves to show the baby little magic tricks, which earns him giggles and smiles, the best reaction. Lil one is his #2 fan, #1 being you, but it's a close call.

Verdict: may start out awkward, but soon becomes a good dad.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

Shigaraki: okay, we all know the trauma he went through. When he finds out you're pregnant, he gets angry. The kind of anger where he has to walk away before unleashing it, but not before having an argument with you. But you know that deep down, this man is terrified. He wants to be happy, but is too scared of hurting the little one or it hating him. You console him and tell him that things will work out alright and that you'll be there with him to help. All he does after that is lay his head on your belly and start crying. He'll later on brag about you being pregnant to his colleagues. He will have other people, if not him, do anything you ask. If anyone tries to hurt you or the baby, their ass becomes ash. Is a bit weirded out when he feels the baby kick for the first time. Once that baby is born, he falls to pieces, ready to die for this child. Baby can be seen playing with one of Shiggy's severed hands at some point and Kurogiri babysitting it once in a while. That kid will grow up to be Shigaraki's little apprentice, someone wanting to be just like their daddy.

Verdict: not the best dad in the world, but he's trying. Does a much better job after his awakening. Just keep the baby away from AFO.

~~~♡♡♡~~~

[sapphic-agent]

Saw your thing about mha rewrites, thought i'd throw my hat in the ring. I've had a fic in mind for a while now that involved keeping midoriya quirkless, but instead of him just waiting for a quirk to happen, he'd actually been taking martial arts classes and such in preperation ( something that i find baffling that it didnt happen in canon) where the main issue for Izuku is pushing himself to far to prove a point. but in this, he distances from bakugou, the martial arts training giving him a better sense of self-esteem or atleast a better sense of where his energy is best spent. I plan to try to focus more on the ORIGINAL trio, uraraka, Izuku, and Iida....and i wanna give uraraka OFA bc i think playing around with what improved gravity manipulation could do. i think she'd get it after the torunament arc. Given how smart Midoriya was shown to be early on, I figure he'd make a lot of use of gadgets. infrared goggles, bo staff, head gear for better threat detection, and other possible improvements that he figures out throughout the year. All Might in this basically supports Midoriya's dream by providing the funding for the needed suit and gear. and instead of HIM having the iron man suit with everyones quriks somehow....lets give that to Midoriya, to represent his entier class pushing him forward as a symbol of hope for anyone who thinks they cant be a hero just bc their quirk sucks, or bc they dont have one. Nedzu is the traitor instead of aoyama, bc hes playing a game of 5d chess with AFO and knows once allmight loses his power, everythings going to go to shit, so he engineers events to happen at school with the lov to force the students to where they will have to be to survive the dark times to come. ie, doing a horrible thing, but he believes he has a solid reason for doing so. Bakugou loses to uraraka in the tournament. seeing midoriya so sucsessful without a quirk has made him impatient and desperate to prove himself so he goes at uraraka full boar. now, im not going to make this an insta win, that just dosent feel right, BUT this loss will be the second in a series of losses for bakugou to start going ' what am I doing wrong?' one of the other losses being that Midoriya completes the test with him and bakugou fighting allmight, but with Bakugou unconcious bc like in canon, dude flew off the handle and tried to solo the worlds strongest hero, while Midoriya was more tacticle in his approach. subsequently....bakugou dosent get kidnapped by the Lov, Midoriya does bc they think ' hey this kid is quirkless we can get him to turn' and its bakugou that fails to save Midoriya bc the students that failed their exam were all asleep during the time of the attack of the training camp. he wakes up and comes up short of saving the day, bc he blew his chance of victory. but heres the problem. i have the first couple chapters hammered out...but this is all a lot, and theres so much more that i know is either going to need to be covered. like the hero comercialization, the hero system relying solely on allmight to keep things in check, the lack of proper aid to those with quirks that would require some extra guidance etc. I have the idea....but the idea of writting all of it feels daunting to say the least XD if youd like i could also ramble more on other points i have in mind for this fic idea

Ngl, this sounds really good. OFA!Uraraka isn't something I see often, it's nice to see her get some love. Izuku working hard to become a hero on his own merit is always nice to see, and we love supportive All Might. I'm a firm believer that if Izuku had asked at any other time All Might would have given him a different answer. Izuku just happened to catch him when he was in a place of self-loathing and immeasurable chronic pain.

No, it doesn't excuse his actions. But it's realistic. He also tried to suggest that Izuku seek out a similar dream, like becoming a cop so it wasn't like he said what he did out of malice.

Also, don't be afraid to completely rewrite Horikoshi's terrible canon system! It's filled with a ton of contradictions and inconsistencies anyway so if you need to change it all to make sense, 100% go for it

[shadowspromise]

Hi Hi! I hope you're having a lovely day and hope I'm not wasting your time

I would like to request (if it's okay) where the reader is a new recruit to the LOV and is extremely gorgeous and Soft Dabi's reaction and what he would do! <3

You don't need to do this if you don't want too, otherwise, have a nice day! <3

I like this idea :)

Dabi has one goal on his mind. Revenge.

He won’t let anything get in his way, nothing at all.

Until…

He saw you.

Shigaraki had come back from a trip to find some more members, and he came back with you.

“This is Y/N. They seem promising so for the love of god, don’t scare them away,” he said before wandering off to his room to play video games.

Dabi was busy fucking around with the settings on his new phone that he stole got, not even bothering to look up at you.

And then he heard your voice.

“Hi, nice to meet you all,” you spoke.

Dabi was damn near taken away. Your voice was so soft and inviting. He was getting so used to the league’s constant yelling and bitching, so your voice was like a lullaby after a war.

He whipped his head up and nearly said “fuck” out loud, but managed to keep it in his head. You were so… pretty. His pupils widened as he breathed in deeply. His mouth even opened a little.

Toga motioned for you to sit next to her, but Dabi quickly made sure that wouldn’t happen. “Yo. Don’t sit next to her, she’ll try and take your blood,” he spoke, causing Toga to stomp away angrily. He realized afterwards that he subconsciously deepened his voice, perhaps attempting to sound more attractive.

As you sit next to him instead, he quickly remembers that he, in his opinion, isn’t pretty at all. His heart nearly stopped when you looked at him. He quickly threw his hood on and tried to hide his face a little. He was fucked. There was no way someone like you could like him… right?

“What’s your name?” you asked.

“T- Dabi. I go by Dabi,” he responded.

He was internally panicking. Did he seriously nearly say his real name? How could you possibly be having such a big impact on him that he forgot his damn codename?

And so you continued to have a conversation with him for what felt like hours, because it was hours. You and him had completely lost yourselves in each other’s company. And the longer you talked, the more of your personality showed. The more your personality showed, the more Dabi started to absolutely fall for you. You were so perfect.

But after that day, Dabi started to distance himself from you. If you were in a room, he wasn’t in it. He would avoid conversations about you or with you. You even asked Shigaraki about it and he told you that Dabi simply doesn’t like people, and that’s probably the case.

You were upset, but it’s not like you could change his personality. So you decided to forget about him.

And Dabi did not like that.

He started to notice you weren’t looking for him anymore. You weren’t asking anyone where he was. If he walked into the room, you weren’t looking at him anymore.

He was so… angry? Sad?

He didn’t know how he felt. All he knew is that he wanted his attention back. He was distancing himself because he didn’t know how to cope with the emotion of love, but now he has to cope with feeling abandoned. He doesn’t like that at all.

He came up with a plan. If nobody was in the room but you, he’d approach and start a conversation with you. Just the two of you. At first you were confused, after all you thought he didn’t like you, but you were just happy he was talking to you again.

You picked up on the fact that he seemed very nervous when he talked to you. He never hesitated to insult and slap the shit out of everyone else in the league, but with you? With you he would be biting his nails and bouncing his leg, stuttering on his words when he made eye contact with you.

It was kinda cute. You would tease him a little to get more cute reactions out of him. He’d respond along the lines of “shut up” or “quit that” but in a whiney little voice.

You didn’t find it as funny when he started to tease you back. He started getting comfortable and bolder, and was not hesitating to make you blush like crazy.

Now the two of you are flirting like lovesick teenagers and the rest of the league is placing bets on how long it takes until you start dating.

For the halloween prompt, heres something i was going to do but got to lazy

So basically, there's a killer at CHB, and everyone thinks it's Nico except his boyfriend (whoever you want it to be) but his boyfriend betrays him and is revealed to be the killer

here you go, warning for general darkfic/suggestive content <33

A soft, tell-tale humming sounded through the trees. Flickering flames.

The scraping of a knife against wood.

Just the other day, Nico thought, Leo never would have caused harm to the nymphs. He had a soft spot for them, always chatting with them as he made his way to the Bunker.

Just the other day was a lifetime ago.

Nico curled in on himself, breath catching in his throat. He trembled where he sat, leaning against the tree that was quickly fading out of existence. The son of Hades could hardly blame her for trying to hide, trying to escape.

Nico was trying to do the exact same thing.

Truth be told, he could have ran farther. If his shadow travel wasn't hindered by his stupid overwhelming anxiety, he could have gotten away.

But he couldn't. Orpheus loved Eurydice, so he looked back. Nico loved Leo, so he stayed. He stayed in spite of what he knew.

"Gotcha, sweetheart!" Leo cooed, scraping around the tree with his large butcher knife just as it completely faded away. He pouted, wiping away green nymph blood on his sleeve. "I never was very good with women," he grinned, eyes lighting up maniacally as he picked Nico up by the sleeve, throwing him against another nearby tree. "But I'm happier playing with you instead…"

Nico coughed as his back hit the hard wood, the air temporarily knocked from his lungs. He whimpered as Leo approached closer, fumbling for his sword, but…he couldn't do it. It all felt like one big game. Any minute now, Leo would snap out of this—his gaze would be soft, his words concerning as he asked Nico if he was okay. Leo would do anything to take care of his boyfriend, to make him laugh and feel better.

But that didn't happen.

Because Nico knew his secret, and he would die with it.

"I don't appreciate how ungrateful you've been," Leo mused, pinning Nico to the tree. A hand wrapped around his throat. He didn't apply any pressure, though the threat was there. Nico stayed deadly still, his face flushing, his breathing heavier.

"I'm supposed to take care of you, muñeco," Leo continued. Underneath his eyes was dark—too many sleepless nights in the Bunker, concocting inventions once used for good.

Nico had seen the contents since. The son of Hephaestus had succumbed to a sick darkness inside of him, creating machines of torture like the world had never seen.

"You and I both know Will was getting too close to you," Leo explained. "He was playing with fire and he knew it, always flaunting around like he'd take you from me at any minute. He was dangerous. And I know you're mad at me, but…" he twirled his knife expertly between his fingers in his free hand, batting his lashes almost innocently at Nico. "When I was innocently going through his things and found a pair of your underwear, well…I had to do something. He couldn't just get away with something like that, sweetheart…"

Nico's lower lip trembled. His eyes stung.

"There were other things you could have done," Nico managed hoarsely. "Other things I could have done…"

Leo hummed, mockingly contemplating the idea before shaking his head. "I don't think so, Neeks. But it doesn't have to end this way. Stay with me! My machines, your power over the dead…we'd be the most powerful lovers in the world…" he leaned in, kissing Nico's cheek. He moved his lips down to his neck, the feeling soft and warm against the cold.

It was familiar. So painstakingly familair, it made Nico's heart ache.

He had lost his mind…but perhaps Nico could help him find it. Roadblocks happened in relationships all the time—what was a little murder when compared to Thanksgiving with the in-laws?

Nico loved him. Leo would surely be sent to the Fields of Punishment, but perhaps Nico loved him enough to follow him there.

🎃Snippet Sunday🎃

Thankies for the tag @roguishcat 😘

Have a peek at the BG3 flufftober WIP(sfw)

There was no getting around it. The pumpkin was fucking ugly.

Tav stared at it, brows furrowed, frowning and trying to come up with something encouraging to say. Her companion sighed.

“Just say it,” Shadowheart muttered, slumped in self pity on her side of the picnic bench. “It’s awful.”

“No!” Tav blurted and then bit her lip when Shadowheart transferred her narrow eyed stare from the gourd in question to her. “I mean, it’s…” Adjectives, each more unhelpful than the last, flew through her mind. Hideous. Gross. Cursed. She tilted her head the other direction, hoping to stir a burst of inspiration from somewhere. A piece of pumpkin hanging on by sheer force of will abandoned its post and landed on the table with a wet splat. “It’s an honest effort.”

Shadowheart gave her a disgusted look. “OH thanks!” She glared resentfully down at her project. “It’s a fucking piece of work. What am I gonna do?” With the dull handle of her blade she prodded the gaping maw of her savaged creation morosely. “The contest is in two hours and Lae’zel’s going to be mortified I submitted this in her name.”

Lips pressed into a thin line Tav didn’t have a clue what to do either. “What was it supposed to be?” she asked delicately.

Her friend rolled her eyes. “You can’t even tell? That’s just, ugh! Whatever, it’s supposed to be a mindflayer, from that game she’s always playing?”

“Right.” Tav prodded a pile of pumpkin guts spilling out from the pumpkin monster’s maw, “and this?”

“A brain?”

“Okay,” said Tav gamely. Running through the options available to them in their limited time frame Tav puffed out her cheeks in thought before snapping her fingers. “Got it.” Her friend looked up hopefully. “Have you thought about hiding?”

“Tav!” complained Shadowheart, threatening to throw a pile of juicy pumpkin guts at her face.

Dodging away, Tav laughed. “I’m not joking! Your girlfriend scares me. But,” she added a hair more seriously. “Also, she like, loves you, right? Like love-love’s you. Like a lot. Have you considered she probably won’t even care?”

Shadowheart scowled. “The prize is a year-pass to all those mixed martial arts fights they do at the colosseum. She’ll care.”

Gathering up bits of pumpkin pulp into a pile Tav sighed and stepped away to throw it in the bin when an idea occurred to her and she froze.

“We could…no. It’s a bad idea.”

Shadowheart was out of her seat in an instant. “No, don’t do that, what were you going to say?”

Gathering the abandoned implements of pumpkin carving Tav considered her words carefully. “It’s a really bad idea but…I think I know where we can steal one.”

“Oh for the love of,” Shadowheart swore. “Is that always your first solution? Crime?”

“Hey!”

“Don’t ‘hey’ me. Well don’t stop there, go on, out with it. Where is this pumpkin and how do we not get caught and how do you know about it and how do you know–”

“You remember that guy I told you about? Raphael?”

Shadowheart’s hands come down hard on the picnic table with a loud smack. “The Dean’s son?” she hisses, horrified at the direction this is going.

“Yeah,” confirms Tav grimly. She picks up the brutalized pumpkin and considers it for a moment before setting it back down with a frown. “I know for a fact he carved one and I also know for a fact he won’t be submitting it.”

“How could you possibly know that?”

“He’s been using one of the art department’s studios after hours, I saw him working on it the nights I had life drawing. And last night I saw him having a row with his father in the quad by the Admin annex.” A twinge of something curled in Tav’s gut uncomfortably at the memory. “Anyway, he’s definitely not in the running anymore. We just have to break into the studio he’s been using and bing bang boom.”

Everyone's working so industriously on their kink/flufftober prompts I shant be tagging anyone but if you have something lurking in ur WIP folder I'd love to seeeee itttt. 👁️🫦👁️

[ Digimon Card template by @digi-lov ]

Made a fanmade Tamer card ft. my OC, Viktoria.

I may have spent a good few hours making this and I'm quite happy with how this turned out. :-]

Admittedly, as a person who has never played the card game before, I had to look up to a few Tamer cards as references just to get the idea and figure out what to write the card's Effects. OTL

Shigaraki Tomura x LoV member! Reader

Drabble? One-shot? Don't ask—I was in the middle of playing Fortnite (Team Dabi, anyone?) and this popped up in my head as I was unaliving a fellow player. I stopped mid game and came here to write—

It probably wasn't the best idea to interrupt the most dangerous villain in the hideout at the moment—but given the situation, you had to.

The room was pitch black, all but the bright screen that illuminated the boss' face. His eyes were narrowed, his lips moving. His focus was completely in the game. He hadn't even noticed that a soft yellow light was now pouring into his room, nor that you were standing in the doorway.

You had to hesitate to disturb him from his game. Despite the rather violent audio coming from the computer, for once in your time of being here, Tomura Shigaraki looked... calm. He wasn't angry and ready to kill someone, nor was he desperately scratching his neck with irritation or anxiety. It was a side of him that you never thought you'd see so easily.

Tomura Shigaraki was endearing in this new lighting.

"What the hell do you want? Why are you just standing there?" His low voice that almost hissed at you made you jump. You blinked rapidly as you tried to direct your brain back on track. Your cheeks colored a pale rose.

"Uh—" Your brain stumbled. Why were you here to begin with? Suddenly, there was a crash from the other room followed by Dabi's shout. Toga's giggle echoed. Tomura's gaze went beyond you before his eyes narrowed.

"Come in and shut the door. I don't want to hear them bicker." You hesitated.

Come in?

Hah, nobody entered the boss' room.

"Shut the damn door." The order was layered with a threat. You quickly stepped in and shut the door behind you. Your chest was a little tight as you stood close to the door. His gaze remained on you for a moment before he grumbled under his breath resuming the game. "What is it this time? She trying to steal clothes again? Stealing his food? Trying to get blood?"

Toga had quite the tendency to steal everyone's clothes. It was something about being close to the ones she loved? You didn't try to get too involved. You didn't reject her either, purely because you didn't want to end up in a fight with her. It wasn't like you cared. It was... sweet, in its own way.

"No... this time she went into his room and stole something. Won't say what it is though." Tomura scoffed.

"You'd think Dabi would be smart enough to not leave things laying around... he hides too much." You eased. Tomura didn't exactly seem angry, rather annoyed at the fact of Dabi's existence at the moment.

"Yeah... but I'm sure he has his reasons," you muttered. "We all went through something that put us where we are today." Tomura's eyes flickered over to you for a moment before they went back to the game. You noticed how he was slowly losing his irritation from the situation that remained outside of his room. There was a thump that echoed, along with the skitter of Toga's quick steps. That irritation returned.

"Reasons or not, if Dabi doesn't want his secrets exploited, then he needs to keep everything kept up." You couldn't disagree there. One couldn't really keep a secret with Toga around. She had her ways of putting together information. You slowly crept forward, careful not to step on anything–though if you did, it wasn't your fault. The room was pitch black and you couldn't see nothing.

"What game are you playing?" A simple, curious question. You had played a couple in your life. You weren't considered a 'gamer' by no means but it was something fun to indulge in every so often. The game on the monitor looked familiar, but you didn't want to assume.

"Street fighter II."

"Damn that's old." You couldn't help how fast it had came out of your mouth. He continued to play, though a small scowl had formed.

"You have a problem with older games?" You shook your head, getting closer to him. He was pretty good at it—what were you kidding, he would definitely wreck you in-game.

"No! I honestly prefer the older games. It just... its different than the newer ones they make." You didn't know how to explain it. The older games had a preferred layout–a more complex sense of game play. Some of the lore was deeper too. The graphics may not be like they are today, but the quality was better. Not to mention, the games didn't have to update every time you turned the system on back then either.

"Hmph." It was an noise of approval. He finished up his current match before clicking out of the arcade mode, adjusting the settings to co-op. "Do you want to play?"

"Me against you?"

"No, you against air. Yes! What else would I be talking about?" You went beside of him, and he pointed to the necessary keys. "Emulated version is a little complicated, but you are in control of those keys. Don't touch mine." You put your fingers where he had shown. His crimson eyes flickered over your nervous form before a cheshire grin etched onto his lips.

"Let's see if you're just as good at video games as you are at fighting in real life."

Tomura Shigaraki's ego boosted that night, winning a solid twenty-three times before you insisted that you had to go check on the sudden silence coming from the other room. Not only was he a deadly playing card in person, but he would seriously wipe the floor with anyone in a game too.

[tenkos-heart]

tenko/tomura and fenrir: similarities

Welp. I consider this my proper post for the MHA fanbase, as I've been a lurker because the fanbase can be... something! If you wanna know more about me, pinned post!

Anyways, I've been thinking over the past couple of days of how strikingly similar Tenko is that of the figure of Fenrir in Norse Mythology. Also, if I DO get anything wrong in terms of Tenko, please let me know! My memory is shit and this manga is 400+ chapters long.

The thing with Fenrir is that his fate was already pre-destined, in a way. One of the seers told Odin that Fenrir would be apart of Ragnarok and being told to "swallow the All Father," as so as been told. Fenrir's tale already starts with tragedy. Being separated from his mother, his sister Hel was taken to... Hel, to be imprisoned in there, in a way. His brother, Jörmungandr, a regular snake was tossed into the sea, with hopes of drowning him. Instead, he grew so large, he became the Midgard Serpent, or World Serpent. For those who don't know, Midgard is our world within Norse mythology. But, the Gods had a different plan for Fenrir.

They decided to take Fenrir with them and to keep an eye on him. The one who took care of him the most, and cared for him the most was the God Tyr. The God of War, and even Justice. He was formerly apart of the Æsir. Also, something to note of, Tyr is also a God of Justice. So, Fenrir is raised in Asgard, home of the Gods and Goddesses, and fallen soldiers. Fenrir was a very happy, excitable pup who loved having a lot of fun. However, the wolf pup seemed to grow quite larger and larger. This worried the Gods, and because of the prophecy that Fenrir would eat Odin, they put together a plan to trap the wolf.

The Gods disguised their efforts as a game for Fenrir. Fenrir, the excited wolf he was, loved playing games. So, for this first "game", they chained him to a rock. It was a contest of sorts to test his strength. Even then, Fenrir broke through the chains. The chains weren't strong enough to hold the wolf down. So, the Gods turned elsewhere.

To the dwarves. They asked the dwarves to make the strongest chains, ever. This chain was quite different from the others. It looked more something like a ribbon. In some different stories, this happened twice before the ribbon idea. And naturally, the third time this happened Fenrir is suspicious and isn't sure what's going on. The wolf agreed to only be chained, IF only one of them would placed a hand in his mouth.

Tyr, the closest God to Fenrir to him offered his own arm up. Then, Fenrir couldn't be freed. He couldn't get out of his bindings, and thus, bite off Tyr's arm. Then, they teleported the wolf far away, and placed a sword within the wolf's mouth so he couldn't use his jaws. Then, it's said that the only way Fenrir will be free is during the destruction of Ragnarok. Odin confronts the beast on his stead with 8 legs, Sleipneir.

He will swallow Odin whole. However, Odin's son wouldn't let this stand. Vidarr would slay the wolf with his magical boots, splitting the wolf's mouth in half, thus his fate had befallen him.

I promise, there's a reason why I gave a lot of the backstory, we'll get into it!

If you haven't read up until MHA chp 425, spoilers will be here!

Tenko, since birth, had his entire life planned and trapped by literally one of the most awful people to ever exist. It didn't help that his father would emotionally berating him, leaving him outside. Even physically abusing him when he was 5 or the people in his life who were suppose to protect him, being bystanders. While Tenko does love his family, the bystander effect is very real. Or no one on the streets helping a bloodied, orphaned child on the streets.

Wondering for days and many nights without shelter, home, and food. That is, until All For One "found him and took him in." I.e. kidnapping his grooming victim, and then molded and neglected this kid for literal years until the LOV came around. I could go on about how much of a brillaint character Tenko is, but so many people have done that already and I wanna get into the meat of this.

Tenko and Fenrir were both happy, hopeful people who were molded and shaped by the very environments they were made in. Even before birth. For Fenrir, he was destined to be this destroyer of the world, and bring an end to a mighty King of Gods. While Tenko was going to be All For One's next vessel. The next Symbol of Fear. Both Tenko and Fenrir were molded into being their own separate Symbols of Fear.

Fenrir and Tenko never had a chance. Fenrir and Tenko never had a chance since birth. Fenrir and Tenko's destinies were already pre-determined. Both were left to rot by the societies they both were in, and no one bothered to give a helping hand. With Tyr, he did give justice, in a way. He had to deal with the consequences of his own inaction when he placed his hand into Fenrir's mouth. They both got something the other wanted, in a way.

Fenrir got some semblance of justice. While Tenko did gain friends, in the end. All Fenrir and Tenko (before his hatred was destroyed) thought they could do was bring destruction, violence, and chaos onto the world. I mean, fuck. They weren't taught anything else. I remembering reading a comment on a YouTube channel going over Fenrir's mythos and some others, and it perfectly sums up their situation.

The Gods just created their self-fulfilling prophecy. That is something that can absolutely be applied towards the heroes. Instead of trying to PREVENT Fenrir from being this symbol of destruction, and treating him nicely because of the prophecy, they decided that Fenrir was evil from the get-go and already plotted of leaving him to rot when he was a fucking pup. It was said of being a hopeful, happy pup who just loved to play games with his family. If someone had stepped in and actually HELPED Tenko, he wouldn't be dead.

(Or supposedly dead, with that one mysterious guy.)

If someone didn't ignore and just swept the problem of a stumbling, scared, child, they could have prevented so much. And now with Tenko being dead, they just created a self-fulfilling prophecy of another Symbol of Fear being groomed again.

Fenrir and Tenko were just two kids who were happy and hopeful of their world, and their innocent got snatched away from them from their respective societies. At the start of it all, they were just kids who loved their families.

I Have More to Say About Kacchako That I Need to Let Out:

In one of the MHA Smash volumes they have some panels that take place around the time Bakugo was kidnapped by the League of Villains. The LoV force Bakugo to play the board game, Life to show them his deepest, dark desires. Turns out his “inner desires” were to have the most normal, domestic life. Something that amusingly contrasts his number 1 hero dream.

You can find the panels here. https://todomitoukei.tumblr.com/post/190826151761/horikoshi-not-having-put-this-in-the-main

Even though it’s parody and shouldn’t be taken for anything canonical, this is fanfiction and I can do whatever I want. Anyway, thanks to this panel it really helps give me a road map to what I want to do for the ages of the Kacchako kids. I specifically made Ryosei and Hanahoshi twins since their names are both star themed and binary stars are a thing.

Kacchako Timeline:

Age 24 to 25:

Katsuki and Ochako are dating and eventually move in together to help financially support each other. Katsuki needs all the help he can get after *MHA Epilogue Spoilers*.

Age 28:

They will get married on July 7th. (Basing it on the fact that Ochako loves looking at the night sky and July 7th is the date for Tanabata, the Star Festival. It’s also Present Mic’s birthday and Ochako is his favorite student, so that’s a bonus.)

Have a kid April 8th the year after (conceived on July 15th because it’s funny and came into the world 5 days early).

Age 35:

They are finally financially stable enough to own a house.

Conceived fraternal twins December 27th.

Age 36:

Twins born 8 days late on October 10th.

Anyway, that's my headcanon, Kacchako timeline so far based on the panel scenes I mentioned. Hopefully, I'll be able to update the timeline more accurately to the canon material once the extra 60 pages come out in the final, canon volume. Though, I'm not holding my breath on it because the extra pages could just as likely kill any ideas I had Kacchako related in the first place. Oh well, I knew what I was getting into when I let the Kacchako crumbs consume me. Now that I figured the age range between these kids, I can now go deeper into their personalities. I’m just really attached to these fan kids and wanted to do more for their bios then just experiment with quirks.

Shintei (伸手優)–

Name Meaning: “Extended hands with grace” (or more literally, “Extinction” according to WordHippo.com which flipping hilarious given Katsuki. XD)

Age: 14

Birthday: April 8th

Pronouns: He/Him

Personality: Shintei, on first impression comes off as very affable and easygoing. Deep down, he fears that none of the connections he makes are genuine and feels lonely at times. He often questions if he’s really a good person or if he’s only nice to make it easier to deal with his quirk. With how his quirk works, he sometimes tries too hard to get people to like him. That way, he only needs to rely on his own blood to help track others if they need to be found. He often has the vibe of a space cadet even in intense situations. However, when it really matters, he puts on a serious, no-nonsense persona that is determined to get a job done asap.

Ryochi (凌地)–

Name Meaning: “Surpassing the earth”

Age: 6

Birthday: October 10th

Pronouns: He/Him

Personality: If Ryochi could be described with one word it would be exhausting. He’s got the competitive nature of Katsuki but he is a lot more reckless than Katsuki ever was. Given his quirk is tied to natural disasters, it is only natural for him to forgo strategy and embrace the chaos. He can be boastful at times, such as pointing out he’s so fast he won the race of existence against his sister when they were born, much to her annoyance. He honestly doesn’t even care about being a hero, he doesn’t need labels like “hero” to do the right thing. He just loves the thrill of fighting and adventure. (think like the lyrics “It Doesn’t Matter” from the first Sonic Adventure game)

He tries to not let others pointing out how villainous/dangerous his quirk is get to him. He knows his heart and he couldn’t care less about another’s analysis of his character. Actions speak louder than words after all.

Himeka (火芽花)–

Name Meaning: “Blaze bud blossoming” or "Sparkling flower" (just a poetic way to say supernova or a star in the making)

Age: 6

Birthday: October 10th

Pronouns: She/Her

Personality: Unlike her twin brother, Himeka actually tries to think of plans before springing into action. However, she can be a bit ditzy at times. She tends to stay in her head too long that the plethora of ideas she could do overwhelm her and Ryochi is already doing something before she figures out what to do. It’s as if her ideas were like the night sky and the perfect one is in the constellations. Unfortunately, she was always bad at finding the constellations in the millions of stars. As much potential her quirk has in fighting, her favorite way to use is to simply make people happy with the beauty of them. Since tiny stars don’t hurt people on impact, she likes seeing the happy faces of see her lights burst around them and making them feel special cause every deserves to feel special. In a way, she’s more of an artist than a hero. Even so, she chooses to be a hero because she wants to be a light in darkness for as many people as she can like her mother was and is. Just don’t make her mad though because play with fire and you will get burned. Things get under her skin quicker compared to Shintei or even Ryochi, much to her dismay. Though since she hates expressing that anger, she does her best to hold it in because the last thing she wants is to be seen as the angry sibling. Though, she can only hold that pressure in for so long until she bursts like a supernova, usually on Ryochi, who deserves it most of the time. I suppose this is a spinoff sequel to this post.

im tired of running from my past. hit me w every single one of ur mhastuck thoughts at once. pls

ok so this is how the main session (or the third session) goes. It starts off with the main 4 players but they have to pull in other players in order to complete their game successfully once realizing their session is basically missing pieces. So each of the main four have to bring in another co-player after being given the idea by the leader of the first game (doomed) session (which is Aizawa.) - Deku acts as their leader and is the first to reach god tier with Ochako being the last. Shes going to struggle with her role in her team only to realize shes basically the best/strongest cuz shes a space player and they can only win with her. - However in the second ring, Kirishima gets god tier first bc he puts his faith in bakugou to get him there and shinsou is last bc LOL

-LOV plays more of the role of the trolls in this game. The Main session is the prize of their game that they never got to collect so now shigaraki has tasked his team with helping/sabotage them so they can win their game but only for him to collect their prize in the end. im still deciding the LOV players but i do know hawks is apart of their session bc i want toga to bully him as the host player.

[books-are-my-life-stuff]

Okay, I think I've articulated my thoughts properly to put my thoughts about Pokemon Violet's DLC, as well as the whole game? I finished it nearly a week ago. After being thoroughly satisfied with the base game, I went to buy the DLC a month later. I was excited to play it, especially because my friends are fans of the DLC siblings, so I wanted so badly to know what their deal was. I hope I can properly convey my thoughts.

I managed to avoid most spoilers regarding the DLC, so I know nearly nothing about the DLC. I don't watch the trailer (which I just recently realized is a bad decision because Pecharunt's "backstory" is only a thing in the trailer), or know any of the new DLC Pokemon besides how they looked and their name. I also know nearly nothing about the DLC siblings besides their name and their appearances.

One thing I do know is... I've seen a fair amount of comparisons between Kieran and Paulo (from Pokemon Masters), mainly about how Kieran being an improvement of Paulo. Having played Pokemon Masters' Villain Arc + Paulo Interlude, that comparison lingered in my mind for a while until I started playing the DLC.

All right, before continuing, I will get the team specifics out of the way first. My main team doesn't change, and they reached level 100 at the beginning of Indigo Disk, I think right before tackling Crispin's trial? I don't really remember precisely. One thing that changed is Quaquaval's ability from Torrent to Moxie, from the Ability Patch that I luckily got from 6* Raids. I did everything in order this time with the exception of the Loyal Three quest that I did in whichever order I felt like.

The Teal Mask

I love the Kitakami setting a lot. Pokemon games lately have been choosing various places of the world as the setting which is great, but I miss the traditional Japanese settings like Johto or the more recent Hisui. I love how immediately after I step into the town, I can tell this is the kind of place where people hold on traditional folklore and culture very closely, because of Carmine. I'll talk more about her and Kieran later.

I had guessed the Kitakami lore is referencing Momotarou, but it didn't really click on me until I saw the Loyal Three and noticed how they actually looked---though they're not as benevolent as the original. Ogerpon is such a precious little baby, I love her so much. That being said, I don't add her to my main team because I know it would GREATLY upset a certain someone... That, and I'm too loyal to my main team who had gone through thick and thin with me, even though a lot of them are weak to Ground. This is just my habit of playing Pokemon. I still used her occasionally in a secondary team though.

Well, it's difficult to talk about the story without the characters, considering how very character-centric these DLCs are, right?

Right off the bat, I love the Kitakami siblings a lot. While the story very clearly focused on Kieran, I'm really happy that we get to hang out with Carmine a lot as well. Much like Arven, Carmine didn't make the best first impression, especially with how harsh her words are, not just to Kieran (but especially to him), but also to everyone around her. However, I quickly warmed up to her during the festival (while also feeling mixed at how cruel her words are to Kieran) and during the quest to retrieve the masks. Interestingly, the quest to retrieve the mask is very reminiscent of the Titan Pokemon mission, with how the Loyal Three got bigger and powered up thanks to a certain food. Perhaps some parts of the story related to her are meant to parallel to Arven? Not sure. Anyway, Carmine is great. After finally getting along with her, she really has the air of a reliable big sister despite her haughty personality. At the same time, however, she's also a kid who makes a lot of mistakes, has no idea how to get along with people, has a big ego regarding herself, and doesn't know her words and behavior severely hurt people around her, particularly Kieran. I love how difficult and complex their sibling relationship is, it's my jam. I like that we get to witness the character development of Carmine as well, from the beginning of how she was suspicious and all tsundere, to the kind, nice, and responsible big sister who's determined to set things right... within her capability, of course. There are things that she can't do. When Carmine understands that her actions and words are bad and harmful, she changes for the better as well, like how she immediately switches sides to Ogerpon as soon as she knows the real history, and most importantly in the Indigo Disk between her and Kieran (more on that later). I find her justification of not wanting Kitakami to be a tourist trap very understandable though, especially knowing some people in Kitakami DO want to make it a tourist trap by rebuilding the monument of Loyal Three.

Now, Kieran. Hoo boy, there's a lot to talk about you, my friend. One sure thing I can say is that I love that he's such a breath of fresh air for rivals. This is probably the first time in the main game that we get a rival/friend character growing more and more resentful of the player character every time they lose, and their short-lived friendship crumbled. Well, for Pokemon Masters players (which is a spin-off game), we already have one way before Kieran, but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, Kieran is great. I love how he's very quick to befriend the player character, but their friendship is also very fast to fall apart as well. He's a kid as well just like Carmine, who makes a lot of mistakes, has a big ego, and doesn't realize that his behavior and attitude might be the reason why Ogerpon doesn't choose him (he acknowledges that he's selfish, but I'm not sure that he actually understands given he said he wanted to see which one gets to keep Ogerpon right after that). The siblings are kind of two sides of the same coin, despite how different their personalities are on the surface, they're a lot more alike than one might think. Yes, he admires Ogerpon greatly and knows the most about her than anyone else in the village, but that doesn't mean he immediately has the right to "claim" her, not helped by the fact that Kieran sees her as a "prize" during the final fight in Teal Mask, and refused to go with Carmine and the player to look for the masks when it should be his chance to bond with Ogerpon and learn more about it. Probably because he thinks he knows Ogerpon more than anybody else? Even though his interpretation of Ogerpon not caring about how people shunned him is wrong, Ogerpon actually is very upset about that fact, which is why she took down the Loyal Three? It almost made me wonder if he's so attached to the Ogerpon--his perception of Ogerpon, to be exact--to the point of projecting himself to her. That said, he did his best to clear Ogerpon's name in Kitakami, and that is very helpful too, especially because he seems to be more well-received and a lot less ill-talked about in the village compared to Carmine...even though he mentioned people making fun of him because he admires Ogerpon? Even though there are villagers who heard someone befriended Ogerpon and believed Ogerpon's new friend was Kieran? Anyway, whether or not he cleaned Ogerpon's name solely for her sake or for his own sake so Ogerpon can choose him...yeah, something to think about. It's still my fault for pushing him down when he's already on the edge of the cliff and has a lot of things on his plate, though. So I'm still the one to blame for Kieran's anguish that happened in this DLC and the Indigo Disk. Carmine is responsible as well, but Kieran is far from faultless either.

Kieran is a flawed character. Carmine is a flawed character as well. Because they're kids, who make a lot of mistakes. I love them exactly because they're flawed and not too one-note, which is what I like about Pokemon characters in recent games. The difference is that Carmine goes on development and becomes a lot more mellow compared to the beginning (though she still has her haughty trait it's obviously toned down), while Kieran doubles down and goes to the path that we see in the Indigo Disk. I like how different and similar they are, how flawed they are, and how they provoke a lot of thoughts.

The Team Star interaction was very nice! It's so cool to see everyone going back to school again and trying their best to catch up, while finding their own goal of life! Eri is really beautiful! And I'm happy that Penny decided to help them!

One last thing I want to talk about regarding Teal Mask is the Hisui sidequest, which is very fitting for a place like Kitakami. Perrin is such an interesting and cute character (the way she fangirled over the Poliwhril she took pictures of is just adorable), and she's related to one of my favorite PLA characters too. Her being partnered with Hisuian Growlithe is the best. When I started the quest and The Heartwood theme played I was so, so excited! And then when Bloodmoon Ursaluna appeared and the Alpha Pokemon theme played... I'm in heaven. I love PLA so much and this entire event is basically a fanservice to PLA fans like me. I guess this is why SC Adaman in Masters is paired with Ursaluna? Probably. But anyway, this quest is just so great, and getting the Hisuian Growlithe as well as the White-Striped Basculin nearby makes me wonder if Hisui region...isn't that far long ago in the past? It felt like the entire PLA game was something that happened a long time ago, but with some Hisuian Pokemon still existing, maybe it isn't that long ago? Who knows, pretty interesting to think about. But yeah, as a PLA fan, I really enjoy this whole callback to PLA quest, and Perrin is a fun character too.

The Indigo Disk

If I told my childhood self that I felt very uncomfortable, uneasy, and anxious for 90% of the time I played a future Pokemon game, she'd be laughing. But in reality, that's what happened when I played this game. As soon as I stepped on the Blueberry Academy, while I do like how the school and its uniform look, and how it's located in Unova (best region and best game for me still), I knew one person I ABSOLUTELY did not want to meet, and he's a student there. It's the intended feeling, so the fact that the game managed to make me feel like this means the game's story is successful to me, but wow, sure didn't feel great when I finished all the Elite Four and left the Champion battle for the following day after work, only for the anticipation as well as the anxiety haunting me in my work time that I hardly could focus. Whenever Kieran walked in, I really wished I could disappear into thin air, duck under the table, or run away. He hated me, so of course I shouldn't appear in his life again forever, but this is a video game, and the game didn't provide me a choice to run, so... yeah. The game is very successful in making me feel like this, the intended feeling of meeting Kieran again after the friendship fell apart.

First thing first, goddamn do I love the Elite Four of the Blueberry Academy. They're all full of personality, and they're all related and contribute to the main conflict in one way or another. Crispin is pretty enthusiastic and has a very honest, direct approach to the problem. His trial was the only one I needed the guide on completing, but it was fun, even though I have a love-hate relationship with this sandwich-making mechanic. Amarys cares a lot about the Kitakami siblings, and her trial is also fun (even though I had trouble navigating it). Lacey is obviously fantastic and the best, not only is the guide and very helpful but also loves cute things and swoons over a lot of cute Pokemon (she even has the same preferences for cuteness as me). Her trial was also the most fun I had among the four, I just love seeing her fangirling about how cute all of her Pokemon are. Her quote before the battle is also perfect. She's also very responsible and reliable. I love Lacey so much. I was extremely suspicious of Drayton at first but later on he's actually a good guy who genuinely thinks of Kieran's wellbeing as well... though he also wants to give him the mental jab as a payback. Pretty interesting guy, even though his trial is not as interesting as the other three (fitting for his nature though). All of the Elite Fours are difficult. I genuinely was thrown off-guard at how strong and full of strategy everyone was, and I love it! Even my level 100 Pokemon team with max EV on the necessary stats still has a lot of trouble! I love them so much.

Carmine took a backseat on most of this DLC, but we all know she's keeping a watch on what happened, and very worried about her brother. But I'm glad that she's joining to go to the Area Zero Underdepths! Adventuring to Area Zero with Kitakami siblings is so fun. Even though she doesn't appear much in this DLC, her presence is still very important and we can see how she has mellowed significantly. She still has her original personality, but she's mostly caring and responsible, very much like a big sister. Heck, I think she's the most level-headed among the people going to the deeper part of Area Zero, and that's saying a lot. Carmine remains amazing as ever, and I'm glad that while she doesn't appear much, she still has a lot of importance and prominence to the story. Heck, despite most of her team being worn-out, she still helped significantly in the first part against Terapagos! I love Carmine so much, her big sister vibe is really ramped up in this DLC and I love that. Ms. Briar is fine, I don't feel very strongly about her. I thought she turned evil due to her suspicious level of enthusiasm regarding Terapagos and stuff, but no she's just very excited about the research and very selfish. She reflected on her mistakes, thankfully.

Now onto the elephant of the room of the DLC once again: Kieran. See, he's the cause of why I felt very uncomfortable for the most part of the game to the point the feeling keeps haunting me, and that shows how he's very successful as a character to me. The massive change of personality that he went through, and everything he did, all for the sake of beating the player to the point of pushing everyone around him away and treating others horribly... yeah. Every time he appeared, and during the final fight, how he spilled his heart out as he tried to pull out Terapagos in a desperate attempt to get another win, Terapagos tried to approach the player character and Kieran was horrified as he threw a Master Ball... Everything about him just left me at a loss for words. It's very understandable that he became the way he was, and he had every right to be angry and resentful to the player character after all that happened. What he said in his rant was also right, followed by how he occasionally called the player character "the protagonist of the story", in a way to lean to the fourth wall. So, yeah. As much as anxiety-inducing it is to be forced by the narrative to meet a former friend who hated me so much, Kieran's story is amazing. It's great to see how much his character had gone, from the Teal Mask, and his slow descent to who he was in the Indigo Disk. And the best part? I'm glad that defeating him in the Champion battle is not enough. I'm glad that Pokemon battle isn't the easy solution to this problem. I'm glad that the game decided to prolong the conflict a little more (because this isn't a simple problem that can be solved by defeating one or the other), and made Kieran finally become honest about his feelings, suffering the consequences of his actions, and that's when he finally realized and wanted to change for the better. The whole last leg of the game is just awesome, especially the conclusion to "start the friendship from the zero" again... It made me cry so much. Great story, great character, and very importantly, a great conclusion that felt very fulfilling, that felt like we earned this, after all the difficulties and sadness that we went through during the strained friendship part. Kieran might not realized it, but the moment he decided to step in to help the player character fighting against Terapagos, that's when he had become "the main character of the story", just like how he always wanted.

I was, however, disappointed by the fact that Geeta and Rika only made a brief appearance in this DLC. Geeta has Glimmora as her ace, and that Pokemon has a very close association with Area Zero and Terastal phenomenon. While she did give a very crucial item to unlock the way to the Underdepths, it's very unfortunate that her role in this DLC ended there despite being the Top Champion of Paldea with appropriate ace Pokemon. I also wished the Paldean friends joined the journey to the Area Zero Underdepths as well since the point they went with the player wasn't actually the deepest. However, Arven did say he didn't want to go there anymore so that's understandable. Another qualm I have with Indigo Disk is that while getting BPs is easy now, the very repetitive nature of BBQs made me feel bored pretty quickly, which is bad since I need to gather a lot of BPs to at least get the Perrin's Indigo Disk sidequest so I can upgrade the Terarium (I still haven't done it, only reached 180 registered Pokemon).

The interaction between Professor Turo (the real one I presume) at the Crystal Lake... Is this meeting the one that set Turo into his obsession with his research and abandoning Arven? Or has he always been leaving Arven alone? I have to recheck it later, but I do remember the books in Underdepths mentioning a meeting with a child carrying Briar's book, so perhaps it is the cause... Though it does imply an alternate timeline of sorts... And it kinda implies the existence of alternate universes as well. Even after decompressing and thinking for a while, I still don't know what to feel about this interaction, to be honest.

The Mochi Mayhem

The best part of this epilogue is not only seeing the Paldean friends together again, but seeing them getting along with Kitakami siblings as well. Poor Carmine kept getting a backseat, however, by becoming the first victim of Pecharunt. I know that Kieran is the only one who hadn't gotten the chance to get a multi-battle (the Terapagos one was a combo of him and Carmine with the player character), that's why it's centered around him and the player character, but it's honestly nice to battle alongside him, with him using his super strong team too. It's also very nice to see Kieran post Indigo Disk, being the sweet boy we knew at the beginning of the Teal Mask, but not completely losing his flaws that make Kieran as he is (his tendency to overthink and jumping to the worst conclusion). The Mochi-Mochi panic is very silly to the point of being overboard at times, but this epilogue gave the Paldean friends and Kitakami siblings a chance to get along and become great friends, so that's great for me and I can deal with the silliness. It also tied Kieran's tale into a nice little bow as he decided to return to the school and make things right. I like that Carmine accompanied him to take a break from school as well, she's also determined to set things right by properly getting along with her little brother. Both siblings are trying their best! And their relationship is slowly mended too!

There's not a lot to say about this epilogue, it's very cute and gives the the much-needed friendship between Paldean friends and Kitakami siblings. I just wish it didn't solely focus on the mayhem and showed us the activities that they did together in Kitakami after that chaos instead of skipping right to the end. The festival activities, the sleepover, the dozens of Pokemon battles that Nemona did against the siblings, all the fun stuff, especially since Carmine was possessed for most of the epilogue. Then again, I guess we got exactly as it said on the tin, huh.

There's a lot of cute interaction between Paldean friends and Kitakami siblings in the League Club Room after that, and it's very nice. I'm especially very fond of the friendship between Nemona and Kieran. Nemona might not realize it, but when she said "Does it really matter? Whether you win or lose, Pokemon battles are a blast!", she probably just said the words that Kieran needed to hear the most (I actually teared up when I saw that part). Their club room interaction is also precious, how Nemona praised Kieran's hard work and dedication, and that made Kieran feel better! It makes me wonder how would the DLC have turned out if she had met him much earlier...? What if she had joined the trip to the Underdepths and seen Kieran at that time? Anyway, Nemona and Kieran's friendship is my top favorite because I like them a lot as individuals, but I basically love everyone's friendships and interactions in the club room, including the BB Elite Fours as well! Lacey continues to be the best.

Overall Thoughts

I'm so happy I decided to play this game! At first, I was doubtful to play because of all the bugs, glitches, and errors all over the game, but my friend convinced me to play it and I'm happy I did! The story of the main game really blew me away! I came to the DLCs with fairly high expectations and they didn't disappoint as well, I'm still blown away by how great it is! I still have many things I need to do in this game, such as upgrading the Biome, trading Pokemon with Kieran (he's the only one among the friend group that I haven't traded with, just need one more unique interaction), looking for Meloetta, and many more!

I think... that's all I want to say. If you want to ask for specifics, just let me know anytime! Despite the downsides, and all the glitches (some of which I experienced still persist, including a new glitch of my bag becoming transparent) I'm glad I decided to buy and play this game! Perhaps someday I will buy Scarlet as well, though kind of unlikely since there's Z-A to look forward to. Pokemon Violet+DLCs are very great, I love it! It's among my top 3 favorite Pokemon games now, alongside Unova and Sinnoh games.
