#izuocha hc

[nivea-ah]

Am I reading too much into it? Probably. Am I still going to do it? Absolutely.

I'll always adore how Shouto's always looking at Izuku, irrespective of where they are and how old they are. Him looking at Izuku is a constant in every panel they are together and I find it so incredibly sweet.

Even a hundred feet above the ground, Shouto only has eyes for Izuku and I think that's true love.

"people who think bnha ending implies an IzuOcha canon are wrong and clowns"

-- says someone who was romanizing the internalization of Baku's demeaning insults in Izuku and thinks it was a confirmation of ƁĶÐĶ in ch.348

Izuocha wedding HC

I feel like they wouldn't want to have a big celebration, they will invite just old classmates and other people they care about. (imagine that's where we meet Deku's dad) Bakugo is 100% going to be the best man, he will act like he don't wanna but he's actually happy for him. Deku would probably make a speech about allmight and his experience in UA. Then a villain would attack and Uraraka will fight in her wedding gown like the queen that she is (Amy Santiago style)

Izuku can be whatever sexuality you want him to be and the bigger issue at hand

posted from my twitter

I want to preface, Mha is not a romance series, so nothing will be explicitly romantic unless stated. Obviously there will be bubbles and sparkles when two characters interact that like each other. Aside from that, everything is up to INTERPRETATION.

A lot of people forget that unless the meaning is explicitly stated, the meaning is however you look at it. interpretation is what trips people up everytime. People take things different ways and have different opinions. I'm not trying to change anyone but-

Izuku likes women, or at least boobs. Multiple times throughout the series, he has shown interest in women and gets flustered in many instances.

Ochako has a crush on Izuku, I'm not here to debate that, it's canon. Izuku on the other hand, aside from being flustered around her in the beginning of the series and some moments with giltter here and there, there's not as much on his side.

You can ship izuocha, I sure do, but I can see the argument against his crush on Ochako. You can INTERPRET most of their interactions as friends, it's all about how you see it.

"Your my hero" line can be romantic. There weren't bubbles or blushes, so it's not objectively romantic. It was him comforting her in her time of need. His feeling of her being his hero highlighted her importance, not a crush.

on the other hand, bkdk moments CAN be interpreted as romantic. There are multiple instances of Izuku caring deeply and having an obvious obsession w who Katsuki is.

You can also claim these moments are him being empathetic or just respecting Katsuki, WHICH IS VAILD. There are never bubbles or sparkles to show a hint of crush on either side. Katsuki has more of an argument of being gay for Izuku, but I digress.

there are much better threads making the case for bkdk/izuocha, so I won't try to go there. In the end, Izuku isn't straight. He isn't bi, he isn't gay, he IS whatever you think he is.

People making jokes that he is gay or not wanting him to be straight ARE FINE. Making jokes that any character is gay bc your hc is fine, and I need people to understand that.

Just because people are making a joke that he's gay for Katsuki or whomever else is just... a joke. They aren't delusional, they aren't crazy, it's just their ship of choice. You making threads about izuocha can be labeled just as delusional.

At the end of the day, these are just ships and headcannons. Just how you don't want to claim their ship/hc is canon YOU CAN'T EITHER. People can believe whatever they want

Momo rewrite anon here!

I've been toying around with the idea of trans girl Izuku for the rewrite, and I'm really liking. I was thinking of her preferred name being Izumi. Izumi means "spring" or fountain", I think it is still in align with her character. Izumi is someone who grew up not knowing a lot about queer stuff, and kept all of their thoughts and feelings about their identities to themselves. They get to see and explore with their classmates, who are more openly queer. Which causes her to question her own identity, and knowing her, does extreme research. Like holy Hell, you can change your gender?? Just like that?? She's very conflicted about the whole thing and it takes awhile for her to be comfortable, and open about it. One of Izumi's flaws is that she is terrible at opening about her feelings. Once she does, the girls are excited to have another girl in class. Since UA can allow things like hair dye and piercings, I'm sure it'll be fine to get Izumi a girls uniform. Izumi still does get... assholes who are transphobic and stuck in their old ways. However, due to her getting more confident she stands up to them. I think it would be really cute if she grew out her hair, puts it in a high ponytail, and ties a yellow bow around it. Bc obviously to resemble All Might. Also a tie in with Nana for the ponytail, as well. Ik Horikoshi's trans rep is just... could be a lot better, let's put it that way. Also we get a protag that still has the next generation tie into it. The next generation being more open minded, and let go of harmful ideologies, and accepting of people. Izumi sheds her old skin and embraces who she is, is like peak trans to me. Again, this is just something I'm playing around with as an idea. Plus sapphic Izuocha (And if anyone is wondering, I am a trans male!)

I can definitely get behind MTF Izuku! I've played around with fem (trans and cis) Izuku in my head a lot. It goes well with Izuku as a character and could fit very nicely. I definitely like it a whole lot more than trans Bakugou because it feels like a tactic to make Bakugou more sympathetic, as Bakugou fans tend to do.

And like, it's fine. I don't care that people hc Bakugou as trans. It just doesn't do anything to endear me towards him. Whereas with Izuku (or Todoroki or literally anyone else), it would just add a lot of meaning to the character.

Also, as my user suggests, I'm weak for sapphic ships. So sapphic IzuOcha is a win for me

[doodlegirl1998]

Hi. So I was thinking about Izu and his love interests and how some ladies (plus Shig) fit the bill.

Mei? Cool design. Has passion for her craft and has show to care for Izu (she is the one to upgrade his costume)

Melissa? Cool design too. Quirkless and badass and have great chemistry with Izu, love the clips of them together.

Shig?😏 the canon (forehead kiss and skimo kiss)

Nejire? Great design. They had a cute moment (Zuzu is not a perv. He is a real gentleman) and while it was one scene and many HCs her as gay or queer...this ship has potential(or had to) she is a strong student who has a powerful quirk and she and Izu could bond over this( I know how we dont know much about her life but still...I think they could be a cute ship)

Toga? Great design, srsly I love her design. She did ask him out ....in the middle of the war and has almost to no interaction to him but I feel this ship could work in aus.

Also Toga now knows what he considers a dream date...and while the internet mocks him. I found sweet.

So yeah those ladies (plus Shig😏) are winning against Ochako. Hell, Lady Nagant (yes too old for him) has a more positive interaction with him and Fox Lady too.

Ochako...not winning here. 😞��

Hi @mikeellee 👋

To be honest all those ships could work, as you noted, Hori even added Shigadeku crumbs, both in their parallels and in the artwork with how close he draws them. (Just like he did with Togachacko.) Shig has gotten closer to getting a kiss from Izu than Ochaco! Who is the love interest here? If I didn't read the series, with how Hori draws them together, I would think it's Shig. Come on Hori!

Now to address the other ships you mentioned:

IzuMei - It would be a cute ship as you mentioned. She's quirky and unafraid to express it. I feel like being with Mei would help Izu gain confidence. Whereas I think being with Izuku would help Mei socialise with others.

IzuMelissa - It's been a while since I've seen the movie but I also thought they were cute together. Plus her being quirkless as well gives them a common ground.

IzuNejire - Not a ship I had thought of for Izuku but I respect your opinion there.

IzuToga - A ship that has a tonne of potential and under a different writer (who fleshed Toga out more as a tragic villain battling her blood urges rather than flip flopping between this and blood yandere) this could have really flourished.

The shame is IzuOcha had a tonne of potential to be awesome but Hori squanders it. Here's what I would change;

1) Have her inspire Izuku's hero name 'Dekiru' - It would be the beginning of a sweet deep moment between them.

2) Don't have her call Izuku plain. I found this to be a strange thing for Hori to have Izu's future love interest say particularly as her character design is more 'ordinary' and Izuku's appearance hasn't changed between now and then so why does she suddenly find him physically attractive?

3) Give her story focus rather than all the ungodly focus on Bkg. As well as build up her parallels with Toga. Build on why she thinks she can't express her feelings; a fear of losing his friendship? Something inspired by Aizawa's poor teaching? Just give this girl anything, Hori.

4) Have her stand up against Bkg's plan to have 1A vs Izuku. I hated this moment in MHA so much. If Ochaco needed to have a BAMF moment where she stood up to someone for Izuku it should have been against Bkg not the civilians rightfully worried about their safety but Hori wastes her and this ships potential...

[mazu-art]

I am someone who seldom likes straight ships. (Whoa shocker, since I reblog a lot UraviDeku stuff.) The thing is for all my life straight pairings, either real or fictional, have always made me uncomfortable. You see, I don’t think my uncomfortableness with straight pairings has changed much, but I see myself liking ships like TifaCloud, or Zelink, or IzuOcha, “straight ships” in the past that I didn’t acknowledge because they brought me great discomfort. However, I feel what has changed now is that I’m able to look at these pairings trough a more queer lens. For example,

IzuOcha: I Hc these two as being aro and pan . TifaCloud: T4T aro pan. Zelink: Link nonbinary aroace. Zelda trans pan.

Point being! I am able to like fictional straight ships trough the inherent queer traits I can draw from the characters from their series, or from my personal head canons.

[kaenineteef]

notes app doodle i did at work except it's my ideal mha/dekusquad polycule (+shippy yap sesh)

also i dont take criticism because im right 😋😋 i mean ship what you want idc but also i'm right (joke)

i don't actually expect anyone to fully read this, but my sleep deprived mind at work could Only think about how i feel about these specific ships so this ramble is, like, super not organized and is literally just a lot of rambling and borderline nonsense. have fun with my brain vomit if you want it

FULL YAP SESH BELOW

this is just how i feel w class 1a (for the most part) ships, even more specifically just the ones i have doodled. dekusquad, kinda

for the not-as-front-and-center characters, i can talk abt them eventually but it's really not as interesting to talk about and is actually straightforward

if we're not doing polyships and only talking abt class 1a ships, my top three are todoiida, bakudeku, and togachaco not rlly in that order but yeah in that order, with bkdk and togachaco being tied i LOVE todoiida. todoiida is peak. todoiida is the perfect ship.

bakudekuchaco(?) is good and all, but i feel like it's hard to find content where bkdk are dating, izch are dating, but kacchaco arent !! katsuki is gay !!! but his boyfriend has a girlfriend !!! katsuki does not have a girlfriend !!!!!!!! but kacchaco are BESTIES !!!!!!!!! that's her gay best friend yknow

still about katsuki, i Am picky with my katsuki ships because in my heart he is too in love with izuku to see anyone else HOWEVER todobaku is really cute so i will accept todobaku. more because i think shoto absolutely has a crush on katsuki. please, it's cute. also poly ships where katsuki is still dating izuku and not dating a girl, those are good i like those. he's the one character i'm like "yeah thats a gay man" with and the only way that could change is with transfem izuku. he's actually dekusexual.

i'm really not too picky with my izuku ships, but i do think bkdk is the best technically dkbk but like you get it. i think izuocha can be rlly cute ! but im a dkbk lover at heart so they Have to be together i read like one (1) fic that had codependent platonic deku/iida in it and i was like "holy crap that kinda rocks." i'm not super strict w canon stuff because shipping is for funsies, but sometimes i get into my head abt having things be "accurate", even though i know they dont need to be but that's a whole different can of worms. also that only applies to my own things. i care soooo much for my own stuff when ik it literally doesnt matter

what i actually meant to say in that previous chunk is in this specific situation, i like to think tododeku have unspoken romantic tension that everyone sees except for those two. theyre not together but theyre not not together and that's okay.

uhhhhhhhhhh togachaco real !!!!!!!!!!! i recently wasnt super into any other ochaco ships but tsuchaco has been growing on me it's rlly cute actually. i've mostly been thinking about tsuchaco in a post-431 way. like ochaco dates izuku for a while and they do have fun, but they both know it isn't right. izuku is head over heels for katsuki and ochaco might not like guys (probably)

i'm torn between headcanoning ochaco as bi or a lesbian struggling with comphet, so depending on what i'm writing/thinking about, she's either one!!!! in general i find it hard to have like one set of headcanons for a character? i think it's pretty situational, or maybe that's because if i'm going super non-canon compliant with something, i think of the characters as relatively blank slates and i can try out new things with them. the lesbian w comphet hc is mostly just me projecting though because her admiration for deku (in the anime at least, since i have yet to read the entire manga so idk how different it is) feels a lot like..admiration and not necessarily romance. i might just be super biased though idk. this is yet another can of worms.

tldr:

izu is dating kats and ocha, maybe sho too

kats and izu only, but maybe sho too

TODOIIDA

ocha is dating izu, himiko, and tsu

kacchaco besties because i said so

sho likes izu and kats, idrc that much if theyre together or not

that migjht be it idk i wrote this throughout the day starting at when i took that screenshot and ending the moment im posting it. i went to work and then was out and about w my siblings but my mind was stuck on mha ships. i still have to go back to work in less than an hour from now. i will still be thinking about mha ships. thanks for listening friends

Obvs Inma choose Izuku 🤭

1 He's just such a great person and is the example of kindness not niceness, because he's truly kind. He's hard working, secretive but honest, compassive, forgiving and has a mysterious kinda spooky aura which is weird to see in a hero. What I dislike? I'd like to see him standing up for him more.

2 I think that he makes sweets for Eri, he's the kindest.

3 I honestly can't think of anything bad rn.

4 In a movie!!! I'd love to see a good MHA live action.

5 Someone to you.

6I used to be very much like him, but now I'm more selfish and I stand up for myself. But! I guess we're both kind of nerds LMAO

7 I love it when they give Izuku proper credit for his strength and intelligence and acknowledge it.

8 Say that Izuku is a crybaby for being able to express his sadness by crying (not everyone expresses sadness the same way and it's totally normal to cry).

9 ABSOLUTELY

10 No doubts duh.

11 he's my type lmao (yeah)

12 idk if it's a HC anymore, but that he's in love with Katsuki.

13 :D

a long list of random mha (mostly bakugo) headcanons i have in my silly little brain

part one

SPOILERS (obviously)

Around the end of Class 1A's second year, Bakugo starts to make his classmates' favourite food for dinner on their birthday. It is an earned privilege.

He and Deku are in an ongoing All Might merch battle, and Bakugo is currently winning because of a limited edition figure he owns that Deku doesn't.

I imagine they have their own points system for it too, like the number of points you get for the value of the merch itself; like if it was a vintage item that's no longer being sold or something like that.

Bakugo used to take piano lessons as a kid as well as drums, so he's a pretty decent player.

He's either on the Aro/Ace spectrum or Demisexual/romantic. It just makes sense.

Hagakure and Bakugo become pretty good friends because they like the same romance mangas.

He ends up becoming close with Uraraka in their second year and they constantly spar together while talking about Deku.

I feel like Bakugo probably helped Deku and Uraraka get together too (sometime around the middle/end of second year).

He uses a special kind of detergent to wash his clothes because of his quirk, as nitroglycerin is usually very prone to combustion (thanks to dellsey for giving me this idea in their amazing fic, the laundry room!).

His hair became spiky after he got his quirk. It was still spiky before but it...got more spiky?? idk

Ojiro is self-aware of how "normal" he is. He wears the label with pride.

Bakugo remembers when Deku gave him OFA at the end of Heroes Rising.

All Might's theory as to why Bakugo didn't keep it was because the quirk itself preferred to stay with Deku, but that doesn't really make any sense...it's much better for his character if he voluntarily gave the quirk up so he could beat Deku fair and square later on.

He started wearing eyeliner underneath his mask at the end of his first year, but then started to regularly wear it even while wearing his civilian clothing.

Kaminari has a thing for people with purple hair. I don't care who he ends up with, as long as they have purple hair.

[theophagie]

Sorry for the epic of gilgamesh but idk I woke up with izuocha hate on my mind today and I gotta let some of it out so this isn't really going to be coherent. Power of Hindsight to me, but the way this is all still applicable even after her admission of liking/having liked Midoriya (translations vary)... If anything, compared to the everything that she has told and shared with Toga during their confrontation, those feelings appear secondary at best, especially because of the way in which they are brought up: as only one of the stepping stones that have allowed Uraraka to get closer to Toga

Also, this is something that I've seen mentioned here and there (and that I fully agree with), but. Although she recognised the (past?) existence of her feelings for Midoriya, she never did tell Toga what her deal what, why she felt like they were bad for her (and nor did she ever inwardly come back to it). Why? Their conversation perfectly lent itself to it. Everyone can want and think about multiple things but for some reason Uraraka couldn't hypothetically work hard while also liking someone? Why?? It's not like anyone told her that, quite the contrary actually. I wonder how her thoughts and actions could be interpreted in light of this :) who knows :)) because the alternative really is "damn, Uraraka, you fucking suck LOL". And not to also throw in the Sexuality Discourse, but it's especially because of how messy this fuckass "romantic subplot" is that I get sooo pissed off when people get all "if you hc her as a lesbian in denial and not as bi you're biphobic". I, a living breathing bisexual, am going to *remembers that it's a fascist move to employ threats of physical violence as an intimidation technique* explode you. within the confines of my mind.

I wanna go on and on about a thing and 'tis my premise

Now, to the scene that kicked off the Cursed Subplot

First and foremost, one of my grievances with it is that Aoyama's comment is pretty much out of nowhere. Despite having had little to no interaction with Uraraka prior to this, somehow he knows her enough to tell what she's thinking, and the audience is just supposed to accept this. >_>? Ultimately his comment has no purpose other than that of making Uraraka aware that she's got something going on, but it just feels unsatisfactory, cheap, and out of place. I've seen theorises that he wanted to fail the exam on purpose to avoid going to the summer camp (thus, avoiding to aid AFO), but that still doesn't explain how he Just Knew which button to push

Having said that, it's Interesting_Meme.jpeg that this isn't the first time something went bad for Uraraka after she tried to use Midoriya as a reference [see: the Sports Festival arc, "I'll win just like Deku!" -> loses immediately after she has this thought]. And I say "bad" for a reason: in a real fight, this distraction would have killed her. Hell, she still could have gotten injured if Thirteen hadn't reacted in time. It's exactly the same thing that happened during the first mock battle supervised by All Might: the fact that this was an exercise is what allowed her to pass

And there's quite some satisfaction/vindication to knowing that it's not just me, random reader, who says this

"Always be conscious of who you are"... i.e. possibly thee sentence that is most relevant to her character arc in the whole manga

With the added detail that Toga was a character created specifically for her, and that Uraraka was developed to match Toga, it's hard to see how "being just like the person you like" could have anything but negative results. Toga's case is more complex because of the combination of natural urges she feels due to her quirk and the abuse and neglect she suffered at the hands of society, and I don't personally believe that "she's just mistaken" about love and admiration being connected, as some people say, but the core idea of Identity is the same. Becoming (just like) someone else means giving up on everything that makes you you, and Uraraka has been "punished" for having tried to. While she hasn't explicitly said anything about it (yet) ("chat about love" I am so terrified of what could come out of you), it's only with the shift to "I can be inspired by Deku" that she effectively stops stacking losses or half-assed results. And I guess that thinking about it as a shift to something constructive rather than as a full suppression of feelings does solve at least the contradiction of "If Toga suppression = bad, why Uraraka suppression = good?" (I still think "I can teach you, Toga, how love should actually be!" would be a TERRIBLE thing though btw)

This is one of the instances where the japanese text may help a lot, because "bottling feelings up" and "keeping feelings under control" do share a common repression element to them, but at the same time they aren't the same

I do think that on its own this is a good approach to love as a theme, but as things currently stand, (excluding things like Uraraka being sidelined so often and the lack of interaction with other characters) my gripes with Horikoshi are: the interference of other characters (Aoyama, Mina) is annoying; it's ultimately disappointing that, as far as the relationship side of things is concerned, everything is on Uraraka's shoulders alone. Midoriya merely is an unaware external cause, and this lack of reciprocity not only renders the prospect of a possible future relationship between them completely unappealing and bland (if the standards for romance are supposed to be a character thinking "Oh, A Cute Girl I just met is talking to me!"... *side eye*), but personally it also... makes him feel like an intruder. When I think about "the love subplot", it's Uraraka and Toga that immediately come to my mind, with Midoriya just being an annoying afterthought, because he's only indirectly involved and... that's it ("he's just standing there... menacingly!")

deku was the one suggested to all date, mainly as a joke just to get everyone to be calm

bakugo too embarrassed to admit he likes watching uraraka eat sweets

izuku and uraraka like steal bakugo’s hoodies

uraraka’s first gift to them was a scrap book she made with photos and different keepsakes from their dates

bakugo falls asleep first, so uraraka and izuku stays up longer to chat in their GC. bakugo does get jealous over this a little 👀

but it’s okay because bakugo and izuku do work-study at the same agency and have a lot of time to themselves too 

on dates, uraraka picks where to eat, izuku picks what movie to watch (if it’s a movie date), and bakugo takes care of the driving and picking up.
