guys. I’ve had a gender awakening

I’ve finally FINALLY found where I belong and I just am so so happy. <3

I proudly announce that I��m bigender! The identity that you are two or more genders in one (a package deal if you will)

anyways, I, of course, wanted to celebrate the way i know best! Projecting onto the Shigaraki brothers :)

I thought it would be sweet to have All For One presenting as he/him alongside she/they, this can fluctuate between the two genders or be both.

I imagine what being a demigirl (see the flower’s colors? It’s the demigirl flag colors) would look like to All For One wouldn’t be primarily feminine other than slightly longer hair and brighter colors. Regardless, All For One looks very nice. I’d imagine AFO would be the type to just kill anyone who misgenders him (which is difficult since his pronouns can differentiate between he/him to she/they) however, All For One’s logic is that he proactively wears a pronoun bracelet (refer back to picture) and since he’s putting the effort in, so can anyone else. Dr. Garaki nearly lost a few fingers when he consistently ‘joked’ about how ‘handsome’ All For One was when he was gendering as she/they. A few lessons were learned that day.

I also wanted to put them with the bigender flag

after that, I considered what Yoichi would look like as bigender, and honestly I imagined he would be exclusive to all pronouns, having zero issues with gender dsyphoria and enjoying gender as he likes it!

I wanted Yoichi to really prove the flexibility of bigender, it’s an amazing and beautiful thing, having so much freedom with your gender!

Yoichi has a tendency to run all over with his aesthetic, there’s so much stuff he wants to try- he just can’t help himself!!

I hate how Izuku thinks just because he doesn’t have a quirk, he’s useless. You could literally just use support items to replicate most people’s quirks. Wanna have eyes like Mei’s? Use goggles. Wanna be a pikachu like Kaminari? Use a taser. In fact, a taser is probably better anyways since it can actually aim. (No offense to Denki, I love him sm and he gets better 🥺🫶🏻) Want explosions like Bakugo? Make them. Dynamite (which is literally made of Nitroglyerin just like a certain someone’s sweat) literally exists. 🧨

Literally almost every quirk is replicable.

Use spring shoes to hop like Mirko. Use a jet pack to fly similar to Hawks. Jet shoes to bounce like Gran Torino. Use gas bombs to knock people out like Midnight. Use water guns full of acid to be like Mina.

To be honest, it’s only the more nature inclined quirks (Inasa Yoarashi, Shouto/Enji/Touya Todoroki, Yo Shindo, etc..) that’ll be harder to replicate. And even then I’m sure there’s a way to get close to something similar.

And the good thing is if you use support equipment this way, you can have multiple. Meanwhile everyone else is focusing solely on their quirk to the detriment of everything else, which isn’t very well-rounded.

Izuku is so smart. And he’s always adamant about how a quirk doesn’t define you. There aren’t villainous or heroic quirks, he says. (Though this may be me thinking of fanfic, I’m fairly certain he says something along these lines to Eri. 💀) Then why doesn’t he practice what he preaches?? I understand he’s literally been conditioned to see himself as useless because of those around him, but god. It’s just so sad to watch, honestly. He needs to watch some Iron Man pronto.

Takeaway; Izuku would be just as good a hero with support items instead of a flashy, dangerous quirk (no offense to OFA but it literally kills its users 💀🪦🙏🏻) and he really needs some therapy asap. He has zero sense of self-worth. 😃

Okay I wrote this like.... a month ago and since IT JUST FITS WITH THE ENDING OF MHA I'LL JUST POST IT

HEAR ME OUTTTT SCOTT STREET BY PHEOBE BRIDGERS FITS SM WITH IZUKU AND KATSUKI IF EVER IZUKU WONT BE A HERO!!! This could be romantic or platonic either is okay. I haven't posted anything I've written in years BUT PLS SEE MY VISION I CAN SEE ITS POTENTIALLLLL!!!!!!

"Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger. With an open heart, open container" is as he walks in the familiar streets of when HE used to patrol as a hero in training in UA.

"I've got a stack of mail and a tall can. It's a shower beer, it's a payment plan" for plot purposes, he's out for a drink and meeting his friend, I think we know who it is.

"There's helicopters over my head. Every night when I go to bed" THIS COULD be literal like he could be living in the city and crimes happen with heroes saving the day hence the helicopters for media or rescue, he sees it everyday. OR it could be a metaphor of some sorts like thoughts of WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IF HE STILL HAD A QUIRK and it keeps him awake at night.

"Spending money and I earned it. When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it." It's a fanfic, SO LETS SAY HE GOT MONEY FOR LITERALLY SAVING JAPAN AND HE'S ONLY A TEEN HELLO??? He deserves it of course, set for life or let's just say he has money for whatever reason I can think of (maybe he pursued in the support/educational department like Aizawa and still helps heroes except in his heart he really wants to go pro). And that's when he's lonely, he misses the past OFA users always there behind his back and he never forget how that felt, and just the feeling, the thrilling ways of how his body moves whenever he is out and fighting to do what he loves, to save and protect. And then finally, he meets up with his rival, childhood friend and the closest person he could ever confide or ever think of. They're drinking (adults & aged up ofc), just talking about their lives, I imagine they would do this every once in a while. After the war, trauma and other shit they had to deal with IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF UA (They all deserve the best I love Class 1-A) and with Midoriya leaving behind the hero life, the two felt like they couldn't just let it go just like that. So they meet up and keep that bond they strengthened after everything they've been through, even ALMOST DYING for each other. They do this regularly, Bakugou is still catching up to him just in different ways. And they talk about the past, it's nostalgic. He doesn't expect it as the memory of their... not so pleasant relationship before has resurfaced. Sometimes it randomly just comes up and he can't help but think of it.

"Do you feel ashamed, when you hear my name?" And he knows Bakugou wouldn't, they are far past that and consider the other the closest person they could attach themselves to. But he also knows Bakugou is not proud of how he treated him before and the fact he had to leave the hero life so early on, when he just got a taste of it only for it to be taken from him and that was the longest and simultaneously the fastest year of his life.

"I asked you, "How is your sister? I heard she got her degree" I know, Bakugou doesn't have a sister. BUT LETS IMAGINE MAHORO AND KATSUMA IS CLOSE TO BAKUGOU AFTER THE MOVIE AND THEY KEPT IN TOUCH SKDBKDBDKE (I've considered Eri and Kota but I think these two are just closer to Midoriya). Of course, Midoriya could also be close to them, but for the fanfics sake let's say he hasn't checked on them in a while, and that our babygirl graduated or something!!

"And I said, "That makes me feel old" You said, "What does that make me?" Then they share a laugh, because they realize that both of them are old. Older than high school. They aren't young anymore, and they have lives to live. His friends are all pros and living their dreams, high up in the hero ranks. He could've been there.

"I asked you, "How is playing drums?" You said, "It's too much shit to carry"..."And what about the band?"...You said, "They're all getting married"" OKAY THIS??? THIS COULD BE 1A OR THE BAKUSQUAD UEJEHFJSHJDD BECAUSE TECHNICALLY THEY WERE IN A BAND (Sports Festival) and they both know who he's talking about, or maybe it's an inside joke among their batch to call them a band, or they really did have a band and kept playing every sports festival once they became upperclassmen, it's up to you. And then they just reminisce about their highschool days, the good ones. And Midoriya, he feels emotional, choked up and longing.

"Do you feel ashamed, when you hear my name?" And Bakugou knows even if he doesn't glance at the green haired man beside him, he knows what he's thinking even if he doesn't say it as he takes a sip of his drink, knowing each other like the back of their hand, reading like an open book. He literally died for him. Bakugou pats his back, or maybe a hand on his shoulder. Just something, and Midoriya immediately knows he shouldn't worry.

"Anyway, don't be a stranger. Don't be a stranger." And they won't, they never were. They were always there, from childhood to present, they could never be a stranger to the other.

I jinxed myself bcs this was literally sitting in my drafts for a month... SHOULD I REWRITE IT TO FIT THE ACTUAL SPOILERS? Or nah

[the-stove-is-divorced]

So it just came to my attention that as an author with amazing writing and depth and quality, obviously you would know fanfics with amazing quality too

Like how a professional artist follow artist who makes professional art or sm like that

So like, what I'm trying to get at is, do you have any fic recommendations? Your favorite ones maybe?

Also Spider-Man ones and MHA one's please. I need something to get these fandoms out of my systems (I'm halfway through the Ben ten ones you recommend and oh my god your taste is perfect)

I do love hoarding fics I adore, so thank you! That's incredibly flattering ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝ And oh yeah, I have, like, 2k bookmarks, haha! Occasionally I delete some, admittedly, but ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE! ( ` ∇ ´ )ゝI will preface and say I don't know what you like to curate this list better, since I read a lot of fanfic, I've got a lot of choices to pick from.

Alright, for spidey fics, I dunno what iterations of Spider-Man you like? And what character interactions you go for? So here's a random assortment! -> -> -> college student!Peter is a long suffering intern of the Avengers (comedy, mcu) + peter just trying to graduate (mcu) + yummy psychological horror of peter w/ venom symbiote + spideypool exploration of spidery behavior + spideypool where peter fights for his fucking life to keep his identity hidden but ppl think spidey's harry osborn + poetic spideypool (love the writing style) + combo of mcu and comics where peter is trying his best to graduate, grieve, and more (series) + spideytorch chronicles peter trying to prove he can settle down for a kid on the way + just spideypool silliness

That was harder than I thought, but should be a good range, bonus crossovers tho, peter and felicia suffering as STEM students in Gotham + peter being spidery in gotham + post NWH gone wrong! peter suffers and Orochimaru barges into his life

MHA I will just admit straight up Izuku is my favorite character, so they're all gonna be focused on him! Also man this was a trip down memory lane, haha! -> -> -> incredible comedy horror about an exorcist Izuku + psychological drama about izuku's inability to die + fav au of quirkless izuku in HSC + all of izuku's bitter feelings manifest when a quirk changes his personality + epic ongoing story of izuku being half demon, WC: 500k + izuku can see spirits, is incapable of helping people, and suffers + comedy about izuku making friends with villains instead of going to UA + izuku time travels and concerns literally everyone around him (comedy) + HC's plan to study Izuku fails because this mf is haunted + izuku is blind + katsuki is haunted by a dead(?) izuku + literally one of the best DFO fics to me (comedy) + OFA users memories get muddled with Izuku's + quirkless journalist izuku discovers the truth

This quickly made me realize how much I adored Bnha. But that should be enough for ye!

If we're talking any fandom kind of favorites, hard to say?? Kinda like when I get asked a fav movie, a lot disappears from my mind, but here's some random ones: -> -> -> jeremiah keeps appearing in bruce's dreams nightmares and it's getting harder not to listen (gotham tv show) + will graham is catnip to every serial killer on the planet for 200k + literally anything by this author + time travel fic of the century (haikyuu) + khaji da discovers the beauty of consciousness and identity

Did not think this would take me this long, but this should be more than enough! (o^ ^o) Glad ya enjoying the ones I recommended before!

[midoriyaizukustan-inactive]

Do you know that visual in cartoons for how the brain works, with all the tiny people running around and do stuff? Imagine OfA's souls like that in Deku's mind.

LMAO COULD YOU IMAGINE

1st user, sweating: where the fuck does this place keep all the serotonin he needs a rest

nana yelling with like three other predecessors: IF HE HAS AN AMYGDALA THEN WHY DOES HE NEVER FUCKING DEMONSTRATE SELF-PRESERVATION-

third predecessor: guys i think i found a single molecule of melatonin maybe he’ll actually sleep tonight!!

sixth predecessor, crying: why does he have so much cortisol we are all going to drown in it

[todaytokoyami]

I love your art style so much!! The way you draw each character is so fun to look at and so distinct of each other. I'm curious have you drawn the first OFA user? You don't have to this isn't me trying to get free art I was just looking at your AFO drawings and wondered how he would look in comparison to that since you make each design so unique

AAAHH THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! I’ve been trying to make my art more diverse n funky lately so every time I’ve drawn 1ST-OFA he looks different everytime LOL I haven’t decided on a design for him cause Idk if I should follow canon style or make him look more similar to his brother jsddhdjc

ALSO DONT BE WORRIED AT ALL!!!!! I LOVE ANY CHANCE I GET TO MAKE ART SM AND ALWAYS DRAW SOMETHING IN DEDICATION TO EVERY ASK I GET !!!!!! Plus I’ve been on a sibling brainrot lately so JAJDBV

You can’t tell me they have never verbally shat on each other 🙄🙄‼️

[wolfcrunch]

I sort of wish Nighteye had lived just to see him get rejected by the previous ofa users. I imagine they would disprove of Nighteye trying to guilt Deku in giving ofa away, but I also headcanon that most if not all of them greatly like Deku. It'd be so funny to see his face if Deku did try to pass the quirk to Mirio but ofa was like, "hell no" and choose to stay with Deku instead.

i wish he had lived long enough so all might and mirio could’ve found out what he was doing and tell nighteye off because he deserved it

but YEAH......the previous ofa holders probably love izuku sm because really, who wouldnt? and the fact that nighteye is trying to guilt izuku into giving up the quirk he worked so hard for? that wouldnt be on. ofa is fuming

i could see what happened to bakugou and ofa happening here with mirio. ofa spends like, 5 seconds in mirio’s brain and is just like “the 9th holder has made a decision, but it was a stupid, dumbass decision” and go back to izuku. they dont want mirio because izuku be built different

[midoriyaizukustan-inactive]

The other OFA users decided to keep 2 and 3 in the back because they know that 2 and 3 will just encourage Izuku's vigilante-tendencies. I mean Izuku has already done vigilante like stuff on his own (fighting stain, fighting gentle when he could have called a teacher or sumthin, etc) but 2 and 3 would make it worse and just tell him to immediately throw down with everyone he meets. They definitely cheered when Izuku beat the shit out of Overhaul

nony ur mind,,,yes this is absolutely perfect

theyre just like “FUCK HIM UP WOOOOO YEAHHHH” while all the other users are just straight screaming in terror

bro when mido went to fight stain ofa 2 and 3 were going bonkers in fucking yonkers like “RIGHT HOOK RIGHT HOOK WOOO ACTIVATE THAT FULL COWL AOW OH OH DUCK PUNCH HIS STOMACH YEAAAAAAHHH” they know nothing abt hero etiquette and that is fine w them they only care abt a good fight and protecting the innocent just like mido only more chaotic

bro theyd def be the users mido has a more older sibling/cousin bond w rather than a parental one,,,theyre just like “LMFAO THIS KID’S FUCKING NUTS WE LOVE HIM” like when mido is like “oh eri’s quirk is rewind? imma just keep breaking my bones then so she can help” they went absolutely fucking wild like “THE ABSOLUTE MAD MAN!!!!” “LMFAOOO THIS KID IS MY HERO AY YO NANA YOUR BOY PICKED SUCH A WILD CARD” meanwhile nana is like toshi what the fuck

im screaming i love them sm nony,,,thank you

MHA Song Analysis - You Say Run (lyrical vers.)

i told myself i wouldn't do this but here we are

SO i don't think this song is like sung from midoriya’s pov, but is sung to him by everyone who cares about him (all might, inko, the izucrew, class 1-a in general, etc)

because izuku’s whole Issue is that he has no self-preservation. like i know we make jokes abt this but dude is seriously near actively suicidal with how negligent he is to his own health and safety. he’s so determined to be a hero that he doesn't care what it costs him -- as long as he's the one paying the price, that is (biggest example of this is his arms and how he’s literally punched the use out of them at 15)

he also hates bringing up his problems and how he feels. we see this implicitly w the fact that he’s never confronted bakugou abt their past and explicitly w the scene where he has a breakdown and iida and todoroki calm him down, but he says “heroes don't cry” and hides his face, etc

so i think this song is his loved ones coming together to be there for him and get it thro his thick skull that he doesn't need to save the world before he can save himself and i'm so fuckign emo so let's just jump into it

here’s the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us82yZTkO6g&feature=youtu.be

i referenced a comment on the youtube video for the lyrics hhh. it should be near the top but if not uhh good luck trying to double-check me sorry i couldn't provide a more concrete source this time djkfjkf

ok let's go

“you're not alone, there’s no doubt your gift isn’t futile to be” okay so let’s get to the point first of all; all of midoriya’s loved ones Need him to know that he is not alone. midoriya probably has a mindset where he’s used to thinking he’s alone, due to how he grew up friendless and antagonized, and i have no doubt whatsoever that he hasn’t actually completely shrugged this mindset off. so his loved ones need him to know that he’s not alone anymore and they are here for him dammit so he doesn’t need to shoulder everything by himself his “gift” is not one for all but his kindness and love for the world. it “isn’t futile to be” because midoriya is obviously going to become a hero and thus, put those traits into good use. he’s going to be an inspiration for more than his physical strength; his most powerful aspects are his gentleness and compassion

“if we’ll be united, we’re stronger together” this kinda goes back to the “you're not alone” line. his loved ones have assured him that he’ll be a great hero on his own with the “no doubt your gift isn’t futile to be” line, but they’re letting him know that he can be “stronger” w his loved ones by his side; he doesn’t need to lone-wolf it. you're stronger when you're fighting alongside your loved ones while simultaneously fighting for them, right? so they're basically introducing that concept to our green bean here

“we always have the high hope” “high hope” = high ground if u will. they have the advantage in any battle if they have midoriya’s brand of determination and spirit. also midoriya does not let go of hope like at all. even after that awful as hell childhood, he still clung to hope and he still dared to dream and that’s really important. this is his loved ones acknowledging that, but probably inko in particular bc she’s been there in his life for every single hardship

“not all for one but one for all” this is definitely a toshinori-exclusive line. it's not subtle at all that this line is abt the quirk and the villain, but what i think it’s saying exactly is that the burden that one for all brings its users does not need to be solely on midoriya’s shoulders alone (all for one); he has loved ones and allies and coworkers and teachers that are there for him and will guide him and support him, thus sharing the burden (one for all). midoriya doesn’t need to save the world himself

“don't worry ‘bout a thing” the classic comfort token(tm). no but i feel like this is his loved ones kinda saying “don't worry [about things you can't control because you're only human].” bc obviously midoriya is human and also himself so he’s going to worry, but they're here soothing his anxiety and irrational fears, as they have already addressed his more rational fears in earlier lyrics

“we’ll reach out to you/even if it’s a harder way/it’s plain to see the reason why/oh that’s all because of the mighty heart” midoriya’s loved ones are promising him here that they are always going to do their best to support and love him adequately. they know he has a habit of hiding his feelings and other problems and that that could lead to some issues, hence the “even if it’s a harder way”, but they're going to keep loving him anyway why? well, “it’s plain to see the reason why oh that’s all because of the mighty heart.” midoriya’s heart and soul are so pure and so good and just completely full of kind intentions. all midoriya has ever wanted to do was, to quote his own words, “become a hero and save people with a smile.” he loves so fiercely and so quickly and it has changed all of the lives of everyone he’s met, particularly his loved ones. like toshinori would be dead w/o midoriya, as would probably iida and todoroki (stain arc and quirk complications each). they love midoriya and all that he has done for them, and so it is more than worth it to be there for him in return

“remember that it’s just natural that we’ll be there if you need help” they are saying that, as midoriya’s loved ones, as people who love him, it’s only natural that they care for him and want to see him happy, just like he does them. they're kinda using any excuses he could come up about “not deserving their support” against him. they're letting him know they're there for him and again, most importantly, that he does not have to deal with ofa and all of his other burdens alone

“far across the distance/rest assured that our faith won’t die” this distance is both physical and emotional. inko in particular is distanced physically, now that izuku is living at the dorms, but she is still going to be there for him. emotionally, the distance is the blocks midoriya puts up to keep from acknowledging his seriously negative feelings, at least from others. however, like they say in the song, “rest assured that our faith won’t die”; they’re not going to give up, bc midoriya wouldn’t give up. they believe in him and love him sm

“you know we apt to sacrifice ourselves/whatever they may say” his friends/toshinori in particular are saying this line. hero work is a dangerous job, obviously, and they all signed themselves up to be public servants in such a dangerous field, meaning its kinda their job to sacrifice themselves if needed. however, this is again letting midoriya know he’s not alone in this risk, as “we apt to sacrifice ourselves” the “whatever they may say” bit is abt media and the public. they will sing midoriya’s praises and some may criticize him, but they're letting him know that they don't know him like they do. they don't love him like they do. but midoriya’s friends and toshinori will bear the burden of media together as they are all heroes. they wont leave him alone in any of this

chorus once more (”it’s plain...won’t die”)

anyway i’m crying midoriya loves so much and he is loved so much in return thank you and goodnight
