#kaminari is a traitor

[pink-blend]

your kids are useless!!! send them to war!!

[arrowheadedbitch]

See, I like the idea of villain kaminari but also like...no I don't because I want him to have all that same energy but fight it, i want to see him fighting tooth and nail in secret to not cross over, i want him to be villainous without being a villain, I want him to agree with the villain ideology and way of thinking but still come out the other side a hero, I want him to not betray his friends, I want him to fight the worse parts of his nature and I want goodness to win out in him, I want the lesson to be that it's okay to have darkness within you, I want the character i most relate to to tell me that I can feel the darkness growing inside of me and still manage to be a good person in spite of it, I want to see a complex character fighting himself and never quite getting rid of the darkness but being a hero anyway and willing it away when necessary, I want him to tell me there isn't anything wrong with feeling like a bad person sometimes.

*Slight drdt spoilers*

13 year old me: Guys no wait you don't understand, Denki Kaminari has to be the traitor, he's way too suspicious and also it would be really funny and cool if he was the traitor, guys please listen guys-

18 year old me: Guys no wait you don't understand, Whit Young has to be the mastermind, he's way too suspicious and also it would be really funny and cool if he was the mastermind, guys please listen guys-

You ever just read a fanfic that rots your brain so much that you had no choice but to make a comic out of it? Yeah.

Anyway, here's the first 1000 words of A Mirror in the Dark by Fastern on Ao3 illustrated.

(Click for better quality)

I know I could have picked some sort of big scene to illustrate, but idk man, I felt like going from the beginning even if it doesn't seem like much is happening. Trust me when I say this is the best Traitor Kaminari fic I have ever read. My initial plan was to do the whole first chapter but then I realized I didn´t have infinite time so have these 8 pages instead!

Anyway, go read the fic right now. You will not be disappointed.

Denki: Don't worry, I got a plan. Sero: Alright. Denki: TraitorSayWhat? Aoyama: Excuse-moi? Denki: What? Sero: ... Denki: ... Denki: No wait-

[genyas-gun]

I still think it would have been cool if Denki Kaminari was the UA traitor

[heronoegg]

in the AU Toru is picked by the UA staff for showing extremely good espionage skills to find the traitor and she thinks it's Kaminari but it's not she was informed about the liberation hand sign by Snipe the one who recommended her for finding the traitor

i want Snipe Toru duo it's just a cowboy dad and his silly invisible daughter against the odds

also i gave her a invisible suit cause if Mirio can have a suit made from his hair so can she how she puts it on is a mystery to all including herself

[sinner-sunflower]

BNHA really fumbled the Kaminari UA Traitor idea.

Think of the angst! I love Aoyama but imagine the hurt of bakusquad and class A if it was Kami.

[dafuq-i-did-not-sign-up-for-this]

It drives me mad how the hints to Kaminari's potential Villain family/connection to AfO are getting less and less subtle, yet the chances of an actual reveal or utilization of that are near fucking zero at this point because so much other stuff is going on.

[jade-of-mourning]

as far as i interpret canon, kaminari denki radiates "abandonment issues"* and "as a child i killed a man once (accidentally)"**

*citing the entirety of TUM 35 and every time he runs after kiribaku and his willingness to do literally anything for his friends

**citing every incident where he's concerned about hurting his friends in the crossfire and oh wait that's basically his entire hero growth arc that exists far in the background

[kitweilon]

They're so Kaminari Denki core

So I edited a few

[arrowheadedbitch]

Okay, I finally watched the Kaminari Traitor Theory video I've been seeing everywhere and I have THOUGHTS

I feel like the positive negative charge idea can still work even if he's not the traitor, yknow? Like, imagine he has this whole other side he's been keeping in check this whole time, that's so fucking cool

He's not a villain or a traitor, but he is a bit of a...villain sympathizer. As much as he thinks it's bad he just GETS it and he can't help but feel for a lot of villains even if he's still gonna defeat them.

I like to imagine it as kind of a breaker switch! His negative side is like when the breaker in your fuse box flips and the lights go out. Positive side is in control but maybe he uses his quirk too much or something or just for whatever reason (maybe strong emotions? Bad emotions? Does there need to be a reason? It always feels like the breaker in your house flips for no reason anyways) and this kind of sociopathic bad guy side pops out and Denki has to just flip the switch back as fast as he can to get back to normal. He's pretty good at keeping it under control, it's not hard to flick the switch back, but the negative side...it's still there, it's always there

It's really just a second drawback to his quirk, but this one...he doesn't want anyone to know about it. They could think he's a villain, he can't have that. There's nothing wrong with having quirk drawbacks but this? This is one thing he'll carry alone until he dies......or until he's forced to reveal it to his friends.

a ship that is very rare but holds a place in my heart is kamitoga. especially with lov/traitor!kaminari. bonus point if if its shinkamitoga. i can just imagine these poor 14 year olds with villainous or self destructive quirks all caring for eahc other :((

First off, SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!

Secondly: You’re So Right For That.

Tw: mentions of dissociation

Personally, I dislike how everyone always makes fun of kami when he short circuits. Like. For the sake of this, imma just say to him, it feels like heavy dissociation and we’re running with that for now

Soooo, he joined the lov after being found in this dissociative state and they made sure he was safe and comfortable until he was grounded again

Toga thought he was adorable

Kaminari is a little weary of them all at first, but toga explains her quirk and her background and he just kinda 🥺💙😤

Toga is the first to explain what’s going on. She’s just so bubbly and extroverted and excited to have someone her age to talk to

And he’s so nice!

They’re both such bright lads

They’re so supportive when the other is feeling bad about their quirk

Kami makes a bunch of really bad good blood related puns to try and get toga to smile (“I am O so positively in love with you” “you can’t B negative about this one” etc)

Toga always makes sure to have safe foods that kami feels comfortable eating when he’s short circuited

They both make the most wonderful of puns relating to each others quirk.

How do I know this? Because the eyre both full of whimsy and whimsy loves puns, and puns are the highest form of comedy.

The first time toga made a pun about electricity, kami just 👁👄👁 and then he knew he would die for this funky fresh nerd

The number of times toga has gone about saying some shit like, “I don’t know watt you’re talking about” in the middle of lov meetings has driven shigaraki to madness

Dabi is driven to anger when he is on the receiving end of the onslaught of puns these two have, but he so enjoys watching shigaraki rip his hair out

Shinsou, toga, and kami would be such a trio. They’re protective of their people in their own rights, but when paired together, the world won’t know what hit it

Sorry this is so short but I hope you liked it!!! Thank you for the ask! :D have a good and safe day!!

Wanna write this so bad ✍️

[amoripomoea]

i found my super old ao3 account that i made back in 2016 and abandoned in like 2021 (i don't remember why) and im reading one of my old fics from 4 years ago... tell me why im hooked on it 💀

[fishy006]

look i know aoyama is the traitor and all but i have always been (and always will be) a traitor kaminari believer, and because of that i LOVE when i read fics that aren’t really about the traitor but the traitor comes up somehow and they find out the traitor is kaminari. because i’ve read all of the fics that have traitor kaminari tagged but those fics don’t have the traitor tag and it’s a pleasant surprise.
