WORD COUNT; 1899

AUTHOR NOTE; it’s currently 5am and my insomnia has kept me up with my thoughts, so i wrote this to try and vent out some feelings. It’s a little heavy in some parts, so please read with caution - if you feel like you can’t read this, please do not feel obligated to do so. You’re loved, you deserve to be here. Please take care of yourself. <3

The morning light seeped under closed curtains, flooding onto the floor of your room. Heavy eyes stared to the ceiling as your heart pounded in your chest. Insomnia had you in the palm of its hand and it was squeezing the life out of you - you were tired, you just wanted rest.

When life felt like a chore, any leftover energy wasted on doing the dishes, you found yourself needing to hug Keigo’s jacket when you tried to fall asleep. It was a survival instinct at this point, you and that jacket against the flurry of thoughts in your head. On nights when Keigo was called in for night patrols, the void that his existence stitched up burst open again. It wasn’t his fault, you put it down to you being broken.

Your eyes were almost as heavy as your heart. That beating clock was weighing you down into the mattress, the heap of blankets on top of you that reminded you of Keigo’s wings, the fur lining of his jacket against your cheek; little things like that brought you peace, but not in this moment. Right now, everything was too much. You groaned, a tired hand lifting to rub your eyes, as if that would aid you in your fruitless attempt at falling asleep.

Not that there was any point in falling asleep. It was well into the early morning now, you’d be awake until afternoon the next day. That’s when you’d be lying in bed, and, like always, your eyes would give up on you. You’d wake up around midnight and the cycle would repeat all over again.

Keigo worked most weekdays, having the day off occasionally, if the agency was feeling generous. He was in high demand most of the time, there’d been a sudden spike in villain activity.

He’d work to keep you safe, he always promised you that before he kissed your knuckles gently, hurrying off to aid citizens in need.

You would always stand on the balcony and watch him fly off, see how his shape got smaller the further away he got. Jealousy burned deep in the pit of your stomach; you felt selfish for it, but you couldn’t help it.

You needed Keigo, but everyone else needed him more because people didn’t know how to behave themselves. You were angry at the world for stealing him, you pinned it down as that and have ignored it since.

But now you were laying alone in your bed, his jacket giving off a homely scent that made your heart hurt. The blankets weren’t enough to replace the weight and warmth of those crimson feathers anymore - you became desperate, your heart was banging against your chest cavity, screaming and begging for release.

The relief never came. It never would until he came back.

Thoughts of that twisted kind of relief found its way into the crossroads of your mind, jumping straight into the highway of neurons and catching you by surprise.

Elsewhere, Keigo was just finishing up with a petty thief who’d robbed a convenience store. This spike of criminal activity was very much morphed into a moral panic by the media. The most dangerous thing Keigo had had to deal with recently was a hostage situation, but for some reason, even those were rare. It seems the LOV had scared most low-level thugs into hiding, or in the very least, had seriously knocked their confidence and they were doing everything they could to seem tough; even if that was stealing melon bread from their local store.

Keigo stretched, yawning as his wings spread. He stood patiently waiting for the police to come and collect the restrained villains at his feet. They were petty thieves, sure, but Keigo had had enough action for one night.

Checking his phone in the meantime, his free, ungloved hand tapped away at his screen to check for any messages from you. He did this a lot, any time he had free time on the job, mostly. He put it down to muscle memory.

He frowned a little when he noticed you hadn’t texted him - at all, in fact.

Humming to himself, he pocketed his phone when he noticed a flash of red and blue, a siren’s screams coming into earshot.

With a laugh, he knelt down to the villains, plucking a feather from his left wing and poking it into the tight ropes of one of the angry thugs.

“I’ll let them take care of you from here!” Keigo saluted towards the police cars approaching, before wasting no time to lift off, cutting through the air with godlike speed. Leisurely flying through the early morning air, Keigo yawned. Granted, the air was sure to wake him up, breeze stroking back his messy golden bangs, tired eyes hidden behind his visor. His wings flapped as he reached for his back pocket, taking out his phone again and calling your number.

“Come on, birdie, pick up,” He clicked his tongue, hoping you’d be awake, even if your lack of messages told him you were probably asleep.

Straight to voicemail. The robotic phone voice played out into the morning breeze and Keigo felt concern start to bubble at the bottom of his stomach. He weighed his options - you definitely hadn’t blocked him, you never turned off your phone either. He eased his mind a little by concluding that you were just asleep. Still, if he was gonna get any sleep himself, he needed to check up on you.

As to not surprise you with his visit, he made sure to text you that he was coming over.

Your phone buzzed. It snapped you out of your thoughts, making you jump. You noticed a missed call from Keigo, a message too. You mumbled to yourself how pathetic you were for drowning so deep in your thoughts that you couldn’t hear your own phone ringing.

You didn’t have the energy to text him back, to tell him that everything was fine and that he didn’t need to come over. The tear stains on your cheek, your racing heart, clammy skin; they told you otherwise.

That one thought pulsated around your head, it was laughing at you, taunting you. You wanted to hold your head, shake it out in a screaming fit.

You would, if there wasn’t a worried, wide-eyed Keigo at your bedroom window.

You slithered off your bed, sniffling and rubbing your eyes as you unlocked and lifted the sill of your window. Keigo wobbled inside, folding his wings and soon regaining his balance. You could feel his eyes darting around your room but you couldn’t look at him, your head down. You were ashamed of yourself, but then again, your depression always did that to you.

Keigo didn’t feel the need to ask as to why you were covering your arms.

His eyes met the spare jacket he gifted you, wrapped messily around one of your pillows next to a pile of blankets scrunched up like discarded paper, forgotten thoughts, notes.

“Duckie,” Keigo’s voice shook as he pulled your head into his chest, his arms folding around your frame as your own stayed stuck to your sides. “Duckie, talk to me.”

Your frame shook with unexpected sobs. You wanted to repress, but you couldn’t. Keigo made you vulnerable. Whether or not that was a good thing, you didn’t know. His hand to your head, softly stroking back the hair stuck to your face with the glue of your tears, his other hand gently pressed into your back, applying a pressure that made you feel safe, secure, amidst the storm of your feelings.

You tried not to make too much noise, nor did you want to soil Keigo’s hero costume with tears you didn’t want to shed in the first place. You felt so pathetic, like you didn’t need to feel this way, like depression only picked on you to mock you - you had no reason to be sad, it told you, you were just a fraud, nobody wanted you here, it pointed and laughed at you every moment you opened your eyes unto the world.

A world you didn’t wish to be born into, a world that cursed you the moment you left the warmth of your mother’s womb. A world that Keigo was in, too.

“I just,” You choked on your emotions. They got stuck in your throat and they stayed there, adamant to steal your breath. “I just don’t wanna do this anymore”

Your words came rushing out into the fabric of Keigo’s shirt, muffled as they poured from your heart. You couldn’t speak anymore, your ribs, shoulders, your entire body relentlessly heaving up and down from your cries.

Keigo held you patiently, hugging you tightly and grounding you. He slowly wrapped his wings around you, letting you get lost in the softness, the warmth.

A small kiss was planted onto your head like a small seed of hope, Keigo whispering into your hair. “Hey, easy, birdie,” His hand stroked your hair again - it was definitely muscle memory. “Just breathe with me, slowly, in and out,”

Gently applying more pressure to your back, Keigo held you closer to him as if he wanted to become one with you, to be able to fight off all your pain for you and set you free. Amidst the exaggerated epidemic of villain activity, the one villain he could never defeat was your sadness, and it killed him.

He felt relieved as he felt you breathing in time with him, your shaking subsiding to small shivers, sobs tuning down to sniffling.

“There you go, baby,” Keigo slowly lifted your chin with a hooked finger, looking into the bloodshot-white of your eyes. “I'm here now, i’m gonna take care of you,”.

If there was one thing you were grateful for, it was Keigo’s patience. He understood that your depression found its way into your bone marrow and made functioning, living, so difficult. He knew that there were days where you hardly ate anything or drank any water, days where you swore to yourself you’d do that one chore, but never did - it was okay, he’d always tell you.

“I’m so proud of you, baby bird, so proud of you,” Keigo muttered into your hair, “I’m so glad you’re still here,”

You smiled as best you could.

“I love you, Keigo.” You mumbled, pressing an ear to his chest, the sound of his heartbeat was a lifeline to you.

Keigo breathed through his nose, kissing your forehead and squeezing you gently as he smiled. “I love you too, duckie, so much.”

After calming you down, Keigo would bandage you up, guiding you through it. He’d drink a glass of water and grab a snack with you, because he knew it made it easier for you. He’d hold you in his arms, swaying on his feet and making you giggle because he loved to hear your laugh and see that smile of yours. He loved you, he wanted to keep you safe. He’d keep fighting that villain in your head with you, Keigo was going to be there for you no matter what.

After making sure you were comfortable in bed, he mumbled a small goodnight to you, spooning you and planting gentle kisses on your back and shoulders, humming and lulling you to sleep.

And you would sleep, for the first time in weeks, peacefully.

(Hey there. Your work is so amazing that I need MORE! :3)

How would Shigaraki and LOV react on his s/o, who is rich and caring and she bought them a house in the woods, so they can hide when the heroes are near? Would they like to go there for a vacation with her? To just chill in the nature?

(Thank you so much for your amazing work 🤍)

Hiiiiiiii I’m so honored you like my work! ☺️☺️ I hope you like this too!!

Shigaraki with Rich!Reader

Shigaraki and the League would be incredible suspicious at first

They expected you to be some rich kid who’s “rebelling from their daddy” (which dabi understood) and trying to make their family mad

Who could blame them? You came in and told them you wanted to help the cause, but you didn’t know the first thing about fighting or stealth. “My father always paid bodyguards to protect me” Frankly, Shigaraki was ready to kick you out from day 1.

But when you came back with information about the Hero Commission’s next move (unprompted I add) they were intrigued

Shigaraki realized you could get in close like they never could. You were smart, friendly, and most importantly, the daughter/son of a wealthy, influential family

He knew that he could use that to his advantage. Eventually, he began accompanying you out, wanting to make sure you weren’t double crossing them. He would stalk behind you about 10-15 feet, keeping out of your way and letting you do your work

When the two of you would return and after telling the league what you found you, you and toga and Magne would gush on and on about how attractive your date was

Spinner and dabi would gag and leave the room, Mr. Compress would chuckle and make a comment on “the good old school girl crush” behind making his exit, but not Tomura

He lurked around the bar afterwards, drinking some cocktail Kurogiri make and listening in. (Yes I headcanon Tomura as a cocktail man, don’t come at me)

It irritated him endlessly how much you talked about your date, going on for hours about how you enjoyed it

His hands would twitch and he could feel the need to dust someone increase exponentially. He decided to not stay around afterwards anymore, but the feeling never went away

He thought it was just his annoyance of gossip, but even when he wasn’t there, the feeling lingered.

Long story short, one night Tomura dusted your date immediately after you ended the night and confessed (stuttering and scratching his neck while doing so)

But after confessing to you, the young leader became.. less of as asshole and more.. mature

By that point, you had settled into being a part of the LoV and everyone had taken quite a liking to you (even dabi if you can believe it)

Things only got better for the league when you were able to steal money from your father and buy them a much better, bigger hideout.

“My father had millions upon millions of yen, he’s not gonna notice if a few million go missing”

It was an old, a banded building on the outskirts of town. With a kitchen, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and even a basement that the LoV converted into a training area.

While they kept using the bar as their main HQ, most of the time if someone wasn’t on a mission, they could be found in the building you bought

They even named the building “Y/N’s Mansion” (spinner came up with the name)

The Relationship

Tomura’s relationship with you was, frankly, the best thing to happen to the league

Even though sometimes he still got annoyed with how privileged you seemed, he never really could bring himself to hate you

You were always kind and generous, never really thinking about yourself

You always made sure to be ready with the first aid kit when anyone came back from missions and you always made an effort to learn about each one of them

The first time Tomura let you touch his skin, you were so delicate and soft. Treating him like a glass figure, careful not to break him

Before you, he had never been shown such tenderness, it was a new sensation for him that he swears he will never get used to it

He wanted to show you the same thing, so he forced Dabi to go out and steal some artist. gloves for him

Your skin felt so.. delicate underneath his rough palm that he almost convinced himself that you were a real angel

You were still naive to the way of the world, but Tomura wanted to keep it that way

He was like your scary dog privileges and "barked" at anyone who even looked at you wrong

A guy stared too long at the connivence story? Dusted later that night

Someone made an unwanted advance at a bar or club? They suddenly go missing a few minutes later

Dabi makes some snide comment about you? Tomura is up in his face, glaring and threatening him (Kurogiri has had to break up too many confrontations)

Overall, Tomura may have been suspicious of you but in reality you have become the single, most important thing in his life

Hello shigaraki expert! Been a while, how are you? My question for today is: what are the similarities between izuku and shigaraki? Both in personality, and experiences and how do they diverge? Happy Aquarius season!

aahh I'll never feel like I can really live up to that title a;kshfk;asjf

I've gone back and forth on this a lot--used to think they were SOOO similar, then I thought they were sooooo different, now I'm kind of just in the middle.

For their experiences, Tomura's villain journey is subverted, kind of fake-out version of Izuku's hero journey. Izuku inherited a legacy that was genuinely intended to be passed onto him, for him to carry forward and surpass the person who passed the legacy onto him. Tomura on the other hand got handed a legacy that was never intended for him to keep, to carry forward for himself. Nope. Their experiences start out the same in a perfectly foiled way, and then diverge into different pathways when Tomura's coming-of-age villain journey turns out to be a farce from the get go, since AFO never wanted him to mature and see inside himself and figure life out the right way. Very very unlike what All Might genuinely wants for Izu and the rest of the UA kids.

Similarities I'd draw between the two of them are their self-destructive tendencies, lack of self-preservation in general, and kind of a refusal to face their past selves. That last one is a similarity but also a difference. But they both go go go until they're almost dead on their feet. Both had no problem offering up their bodies for a greater power--though obviously Tomura's situation was under false pretenses while Izuku's was genuinely meant for him to take for himself.

As for their personalities I think it's hard to compare and contrast because pretty much all of Tomura's personality that we've seen in the timeline of the manga is trauma response. His endless anger? Result of trauma. His jaded and nihilistic outlook on pretty much everything? Trauma. The occasional catastrophic emotional outbursts? Trauma.

I think the similarities in personality are that Tomura accepts people as they come (the ones he allows to live--aka just the LOV lol) while Izuku looks for the best in people. So in a way, if you take the murder and the trauma out of Tomura, I think you could say they're both relatively easy going people when it comes to interacting with others (in both of their cases, depending on who it is). Tomura lets things slide when his teammates yell at him, threaten him, decide to just not cooperate with him. Izuku is able to shake off instances when people take their issues out on him, or rather he's able to move on from them smoothly (with these traits, I think they're literally the perfect hero and villain for each other lol). In other ways though they're both super tightly wound and can flip like a switch, but in different ways for different reasons. Tomura is easily triggered and it's catastrophic when he is, and Izuku is an over-thinker/over-analyzer, and if someone hits the right nerve (insulting the life of someone he cares about, threatening someone's happiness, those things we've seen him get pissed off about) he gets easily riled up for that. Fun stuff.

If we're looking at 5 year old Tenko, I think there are more similarities. Both were kids who wanted to befriend the friendless or stick up for the bullied. I think we'll find at the end with Tomura when we see more of his personality is that at their core, they're both sensitive and compassionate people. Tomura just....really isn't capable of showing anything like that right now, even though it's in there, deep down (which is the point of showing Tenko so much, a reminder that he is like that).

I'm really more wanting to see what Tomura is like when he isn't just in constant crisis mode. The personality he does have isn't very visible to us right now and I'm eager to see him differently before the end of the manga.

1, 3, 8, and 22 mayhaps?? <333

1. the character everyone gets wrong

could go with so many but the root of it all is Miyagi. he's often treated like Karate Jesus in the sense that everyone expects him to be about forgiveness because of the dig two graves line I guess. it's a total misunderstanding of his philosophy that makes his character fall so flat when people bother to include him - honestly even Ralph's Human Yoda line, which also kind of makes me cringe, is a better understanding of Miyagi as a man with a history that shaped his understanding of his philosophy and how both of those shaped his relationship with Daniel, with Sato, with Yukie, even with Lucille and as we see later, with Amanda. He's so rarely given the dignity of being understood as a whole person - even and especially in comparison to the full fledged backstories and empathy provided to Kreese and Silver and OG Cobra #5.

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

Look. Not even touching what they said about Chozen bc we've already established the lack of empathy people have for certain characters. But that last one - I would love if this was true. You have no idea how much I'd love that. I miss enjoying lawrusso and that would have definitely helped me enjoy lawrusso but Johnny could not have cared less about Daniel in s5. They weren't enemies, they had no connection, he was an acquaintance at best. Daniel coming to him in desperation and getting a lecture that's fully just Johnny talking to himself - he never listens to Daniel, never hears him, never shows up in a way I thought he uniquely could.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

That Johnny is actually the closest to a Miyagi parallel and the idea that 1) Carmen is going to have a miscarriage and 2) this is somehow equivalent to Miyagi coming home from fighting in a war he was coerced into to find his wife and child died because they weren't allowed to seek treatment because they were considered less than citizens bc of their country of birth. Actually infuriates me.

I think that they could hypothetically connect I guess, sure, except I think Miyagi would never need nor want to subject himself to a guy who makes jokes like 'lol you never taught him English'. (also a pet peeve is things where Miyagi chastises Daniel over having hesitations about Johnny like come on. He didn't even want to teach Daniel immediately, why does everyone think he's just been dying to open a Home for Lost Boys. Daniel helped him open up a bit but he's fundamentally an introvert). Everyone always forgets the bottle breaking scene & the fact that there's such thing as pragmatic pacifism as well.

There's some people who's response to microaggressions is to laugh with them, connect over it. There's no textual evidence for that to be Miyagi though, beyond people interpreting everything through a christian lens and expecting Good to be Endlessly Compassionate and Forgiving. For all the gritty realism people use to understand the motivations of other characters, there's very little engagement with how Miyagi's experiences affect how he navigates the world. But that goes back to the first question, I got a little off track.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

DANIEL KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK. that is such an important and telling detail about him and no one gets it 😑

Daniel and Shannon's friendship but tbf the show kind of forgot about that too. I simply cannot believe she'd approach Johnny about her concerns about Silver, and not Daniel.

In general his relationships with women - I think it's actually super important and intentional that his final fight with silver is him flanked by Amanda and Carmen alone. I think Damanda in general is so underrated and I think him being divorced from her and chill with that or her resenting their relationship is so wildly ooc it's laughable. It also tends to turn Amanda into this humorless sitcom wife when honestly. I really do love what Courtney's done with her - she's sharp, she's goofy, she's competent, she's messy, she's funny, she gets it wrong sometimes and she keeps trying and honestly she and Daniel really are so similar to each other in how that relate to people. My favorite bit of acting from her this season was the entirety of the auction scene - her emotional journey was so believable, so authentic.

What usually helps me when I’m sick is watching my favorite shows for the Millionth time 😂! Sometimes it just makes me feel better even though I’ve already seen it and I know what happens. Also my pets make me feel better too lol, I remember one time (a few years ago) I had really bad Bronchitis and I couldn’t sleep laying down and had to sleep sitting up since I couldn’t really breathe. Well at night, one of my cats would follow me to bed and would stare at me until I fell asleep (ik it’s kinda creepy agwjwjs 😆) and when I would wake up he’d have his head laying on my chest. So I gave him the nickname “Night Nurse” because it was like he was a nurse lol!

Now onto the HC’s hehe! The only one I have right now is for Finral tho 😅.

I imagine Finral is a momma hen and worries about everyone when they’re sick. He tries his best to cook them chicken noodle soup and makes sure their fevers are done, he gives them a comunication device so that way they can contact him whenever they need something. Once Finral is the one sick, the Black Bulls show just how much they love and care about him by taking care of him just as well as he took care of them!

I hope you feel better soon Acacia dear 🥺🫂💕!! Sending love, hugs, and positive vibes!

Thank you so much, Lyra! This is so incredibly sweet, and I really appreciate all of your soft & fluffy thoughts and well wishes! 🥰

Your cat sounds adorable! I often joke that my dog acts more like a cat than a dog (i.e. she likes to hide from people, prefers to lounge around, and doesn't make a lot of noise), but even she won't jump up on beds. That's so cute!! 🥰

It's so nice to have those comfort shows you can just go back to and watch when you need a pick-me-up! I tend to watch a lot of baking shows when I'm looking for something for positive and relaxing. Even though I usually can't eat anything they're making, I appreciate the art of it, and I think I just get too invested (and then stressed out) about a lot of my other favorite tv. For instance, I was thinking about going back and rewatching some of my favorite Black Clover episodes recently, but then I had this really vivid (yet total random) mental image of Mother Nature from the really old Rankin-Bass "Year Without a Santa Claus." There's this scene where she's just trying to have a good time and have tea and keep really positive, but she is getting increasing frustrated with her bickering sons who refuse to get along with each other...and, in a way, I feel like that's me when I watch my favorite BC episodes. 😅😂 [My stupid, stupid boys! 💚💙]

(A/N: This is me, friends! Also, realizing that this movie was super formative for me and (how does that one joke go again?) the origin of my crippling addiction to problematic fictional brother relationships...😅😂)

Anyway that was a major digression, but speaking of the spatial mage brothers... your Finral headcanon is so wholesome! It made me smile so much! He'd make such an attentive and kind nurse for his sick friends, and yes, you're absolutely right he would worry so much about them until they got better. I love this idea of yours about the communicator especially. I can just picture him literally running when he's called or thinks he's needed and just completely fogetting that he could actually just portal right there.😅😂 He's such a goofball especially when he's worried about his friends, I think, but it's very sweet and very endearing.

One of my favorite things about Finral really is just how kindhearted and generous he is. He really does spend so much time and effort taking care of everyone else, and I really don't think there's even a question about it for him--he's just such a naturally generous person who'd really give his friend the shirt off his back if he thought they needed it more than he did. For that reason, it really warms my heart to think about what would happen in the reverse when Finral is the one who is sick and his friends get the opportunity to take care of him. I love this idea that you shared that his friends would all want to take the opportunity to kind of pay him back for taking such good care of them, and it really is nice to imagine Finral being the one being doted on for a change. He really does deserve it (though hopefully he doesn't stay sick for too long)!

Thank you so much again for sharing such sweet and wholesome thoughts, Lyra! I really appreciate the ask, support, and kind words! Cheers!! 🥰

Glass of Wine Number Two

okay SO

I thought a bit about demon possession - REALLY wondered if there could be a story of some kind about parents taking their young adult son to The Lavern Healing Post seeking a cure for Demon Possesion and Peter and the Disciples...

...find out hte demon is being tortured by this kid and free it?

...find out the the demon and kid are madly in love and don't want to be parted?

something something something. But I just didn't really see how it would work.

THEN DEAD BOY DETECTIVES and I'm thinking demon possession again. Something like this:

Cute Nerdy Bookish Tony is an accademic, looking at haunted houses. He is at a NEW site which is CERTAINLY a haunted house - VERY recent reports of people saying they were possessed, suddenly going crazy, making suden accusations about the family that lived there (veyr rich family owning the house for generations, england? America? If England, writing Peter with Tom Holland's english accent)

Tony is staying at the house, but there are A LOT of peole there (the house is being renovated, or there is filming there about the Haunting) and gets the attention of a younger boy. "Benjamin" he says his name is, but his presesnce is mysterious - is he with the fimling crew? The renovation crew? He's probalby someone' s son or nephew or brother... but he makes statemtns that make it sound like he's related to the original family that owns it...

(maybe he ISN'T mysterious, tony thinks, maybe Tony was told who the boy was and didn't pay atteniton he is forgetful especially when he is hyperfocused on a project - he is researching ALL the family secrets, there was so much drama and early death and tragedy etc. etc.

There are multiple portraits in the portrait hall. Benjamin bears a sriking resemblance to Peter Benjamin Parker, the last son of the original owner, who died in prison for terrible crimes. Benjamin MUST have been a distant cousin, maybe he told Tony, Tony can't remember.

...people warn Tony to be careful... other poeple investigating the house went mad, were actually hospitalized... demon possesion is what everone says...

He knows young "benjamin" is flirting with him. He's just awekward and flustered and not really capable of flirty banter.

Which is not to say he does NOT know what to do when handsome Benjamin comes to his room [its been a brutally hot day, and he asks to cool off in Toiny's shower... or was it a brutally ocld day??? He asks to utalize the hot water in Tony's shower, then suggests they shower together because the hot water wont last long]

Tony is nerdy and bookish, but not inexperienced. There were MANY boys just like him at Yale and he's happy to take the boy to bed.

(Getting naked is slighly complicated - tony has scars from a bad accident travling abroad - his lover assures him he's seen MUCH worse)

BUT THINGS DONT GO AS PLANNED - after some tender hawt sex Benjamin (who reveals, when the tenderness begins, asks Tony to call him by his first name, Peter) pushes Tony down on his back and growls "THATS NOT WHAT I WANT."

Well this isn't the first time Tony has bottomed, certainly, he just didn't think the lovely young twink was expecting that, and also he must have fallen asleep because the encounter, while sexual, was also much like an out of body experience and at somepoint Peter is just GONE. He seems to have dissapeared INTO TONY but that was clearly just a dream.

The next day swet, unassuming, bookish Tony starts correcting - LOUDLY AND RUDELY -- the tour guides to thw house as they try to tell the story about the Saintly Patron that was a that inherited the whole place, a Trusted Friend of Peter Benjamin Parker 1. He suddenly knows LOTS of things - everything about Peter II, his hobies, his interests, how he felt and where he was when he learned about his parents passing, how he felt about the aunt and uncle that raised him and where/when he was when thap assed away - EVERYTHING. How Peter's main "crime" was being in love wiht a boy his age, Harry Osborn, and how that "crime" was the type of crime that was usually ignored in walthy families - how the men Peter alegedly murderd were hired guns (knives?) sent to kill him - YES they were brutally murdered but they were brutal men - Quenin Beck was NOT a Trusted Family Friend of Peter I but an interloper who produced a manufactured Will that made him executor but it was fabricated and autheticated by bribed officialls etc. etc. etc.

Finally, Tony secludes himself in a locked room. He ignores Peter's demands - some beating/bashing/woobyflying occures as Peter pummles him but he refuses to leave the room.

FINALLY, when Peter calms down, Tony talks.

He is not objecting to the possession (especially if it means getting justice for the Parker family) but he has ground rules.

1, he demands the spirit identify itself - it is CLEARLY NOT Peter II, tony suspects it IS the thing tha allowed sweet, innocent Peter II to brutalize the men sent to kill him.

2, they both went to Yale?!?!?! Anyway he's prefectly happy to tell the world the REAL story of how the Becks became owners of the estate, but THE SPIRIT HAS TO COOPERATE.

The spirit AGREES he possesed the original, late Peter Parker II, but asks to be called Peter anyway, because they were essentially one, and together most of Real Peter's life.

3 sweet loving sex ensues - Peter (still asking to be called PeteR) ask Tony to make love to him - tony reminds him of the stern professors at yale tha the has such a crush on - hawt pron etc. etc.

4 Tony explains that they are getting in his car tomorrow and DRIVE. He's not going to be seen talking to himself like a madman - they're going on a road trip and Peter explain all the details, explain what he wants in terms of revenge for the original Peter Parker, and, more importantly, THEY WILL COME UP WITH A PLAN.

THE END.

random lov headcanons

pt. 2

shigaraki

- he knows and remembers birthday date of every lov member, even dabi’s. he won’t give a present, of course, but he’ll say something like “happy birhday, glad you didn’t die yet” .

- doesn’t like listening to music, but likes to occasionally observe toga playing guitar or dabi singing. 

- he’s fine with lov members breaking into his room at any time. he’s the one who’s sort of a comforting figure, when somebody’s off. he’ll let this person stay in his room, doing whatever (within reason) while doing his own business. he will listen to a person’s ramblings and say his thoughts on a matter from time to time.

- he collects every item somebody who he cares about have given to him. his collection includes toga’s diy cards and paper flowers, kurogiri’s books, spinner’s CD’s and collection of old games. 

- likes to write. it’s something he considers unserious, and he does this mainly to relax, but it’s something dear to him.

- his room is the messiest of all lov members. 

- he’s very forgiving, but only to the ones he cares about. it’s subconscious thing, and it’s something everyone around him is very aware of. he’ll be very understanding if a person just say they’re sorry and it won’t happen again. he’ll probably be a little shit about it, but still let them slide with a lot. 

- he likes to lay his head on any lov member thighs and just sleep while they’re playing with his hair or reading. it’s mainly toga, twice or spinner, but sometimes it’s dabi or kurogiri he’s lying next to, while chatting about whatever. he’s affectionate like that.

- he’s actually very intilligent, even if he’s not great with self-discipline, he’s very patient while learning or explaining something. he’s the best choice to go to if you don’t get something, he’ll explain it in great detail and in very simple manner.

- lets toga paint his nails and even do his makeup. he doesn’t care about that, so he’s fine with it, since she’s just radiating with joy.

- hates movie nights with passion, but likes to go for a long (like, really long, for a few hours) walk at night. sometimes he does this alone, sometimes dabi or compress make him company.

dabi

- likes to go out every once in a while and just relax, listening to music while drinking his beer. he’s usually doing this alone, now he’s doing this with twice and compress. 

- he’s almost always hungry. he’s never full. values food a lot, since he was homeless for a very long time. that’s also a reason he’s very generous with homeless people on streets. he’s doing fine these days, he can afford that, so he doesn’t mind sharing his money. he knows the struggle first hand.

- has a very nice deep voice, he just likes to sing. was very careful with that in the beginning, now he doesn’t care. he sings almost wherever. no one really complains, since he sings beautifully.

- likes to read anything space-related, was in that team since he was a kid. knows a lot about stars and all that jazz, enjoys observing them in peace. it’s very relaxing to him. it’s also one of the few topics he’s kind of talkative on.

- sometimes he wears glasses. they’re not the best for him, he just stole it, but it’s better than nothing, since without them he’s practically blind. with glasses on, he looks bizzarre and strangely attractive at the same time. if someone comments on it, he will immediately remove them while saying he doesn’t want to see these ugly faces anymore.

- is a clean freak. everything needs to be clean. it’s just kind of necessity with his open wounds, and by himself he just likes everything to be neat.

- sometimes toga convinces him to do her hair. it happens every once in a blue moon, but he does great hairstyles on her.

- knows how to sew, so he can actually help with repairing clothes, if asked well enough.

- he loves kids. he doesn’t even try to hide it, he’s just the best around them, so much more gentle and funny and outgoing. there were a lot of orphans near their old hideout, he liked to play football with them. he likes kids because they don’t usually lie as much as adults, they’re blunt and fearless in that sense.

- learnt to play piano a bit by just observing compress doing it.

- he’s very bad with electronic devices, he breaks everything he touches. shigaraki teases him about it a lot, saying he must’ve possessed his quirk.

- his eyes glow in the dark. he also sees better in complete darkness than in a daylight. it doesn’t hurt his eyes that much.

[justatalkingface]

Oh I am EXCITED to hear your thoughts about the war arc and the post-war arc because that's when everything went from decent to shit.

From random ass characters getting introduced and killed off

To the HORRIBLE confrontation of 1-A vs Izuku where it feels like Middle School all over again where everyone gangs up on him.

The mistreatment of Izuku where he's treated to be in the wrong for leaving even though it was to protect everyone.

To everyone basically gaslighting him.

To the HORRIBLE apology Bakugou gave which was more justifying his actions and victim blaming.

And not to mention the rushed Aoyama Traitor reveal and Izuku refusing to connect or relate to him because as we know as soon as he got a quirk, his quirkless past was erased!

You know, between how big this ended up being, and all the things I had to do, this response came later than I would have like. Hopefully it lives up.

Ah, The War Arc.

Also known as 'The point where everything went to shit'. Oh, those were the days. It's even worse because, as it was building up, The War Arc seemed like it was going to be awesome. It was where a bunch of plot threads, from Shigaraki to Hawks to Dabi's 'surprise' were all lining up to collide, and oh I, and probably others, were so excited to see it all go down.

Such naivety. Honestly, I think I blocked out so much of this beyond pure scorn that I had to reread it just to do this justice. If I seem particularly biting or sarcastic... that's probably why. This is basiclly me rereading and commenting as I go along, so it'll probably be a bit all over the place, before I move onto the post-war arcs which are still fresh in my mind.

Where to start, where to start.... well, the beginning works, I guess.

The LOV, after absorbing the MLA in a... kind of shoehorned way (Re-Destro basically ceased being a person after Shigaraki beat him, but for all that it's shown as, 'Wow he's so cool let's follow him!', I wonder if he surrendered just so his movement and army wouldn't be annihilated more than anything, and how he feels about all this, since he has no legs and seems generally depressed even though his stress has 'disappeared'. And wow, isn't funny that, if you just give up on everything you ever stood for or care about and your will to live, your sheer crippling depression would probably get rid of your stress temporarily?) becomes the PLF (so many acronyms!) and an army large enough to need a serious intervention, and so an army is needed to oppose them.

Thankfully, they get information from Aizawa's friend from the spin off manga to help figure out where everything is! Thank god they gave us flashbacks as this was happening to explain to anyone who didn't read it what the fuck was going on!

Sigh. Introduce your shit better, Hori, especially when it's some illegal move beyond science you're trying to sell us.

Anyways, that, combined with Hawks's information (back in those days where his arc was great), lets them get a grasp on the PLF and launch a two pronged attack on them, while also dealing with moles. All of this? All of this was actually pretty great, Kurogiri as the exception. Like I said, that build up was great.

Also, can I just add that Present Mic losing his shit was actually pretty awesome and hilarious? 10/10, would watch Crazed Mic again.

Anyways, here's one of the first things that, and maybe it's just me, is just kind of off: the fact that Garaki can duplicate Quirks. Not with a Quirk, or even with multiple Quirks, but just with science, somehow? I know that he's in the best position to do it, with AFO and vast resources to support him, but still; the closest to 'manipulating' Quirks like this, beyond OFA and Garaki himself, that we've seen in this manga? Is fucking Endeavor with his Quirk marriage. Quirks, in this story, are some black box bullshit that no one understands, and attempts to control them are on the level of Mendel and his peas, and often prone to failure to even get a 'basic' change happen (like, Bakugou was another 'basic' pairing, but he easily could have gotten something useless for heroics if he wasn't born lucky), and yet this fucker is just... so far beyond them it's OOC for the setting.

Everyone else is mashing lego pieces they can't see together to see if they fit, but this guy has copied Quirks, hundreds of them, and they just sit in jars everywhere? How? How?! In retrospect (and I'm kind of afraid of how many times I may say that here), his existence is just set up for the massive escalation that's about to come at us like a truck. How are there multiple AFOs active? How is Shigaraki's new body so strong? Where does the retroactively impossible rare old age Quirk come from, that was never a big deal before now because AFO had decades to hunt one down?

All of it? All of it is this guy. He's actually kind of interesting as a character, and a mad scientist fits AFO's organization to a T, but his purpose in the story is to hand out deus ex machinas for the villains on demand, and I honestly kind of hate him for it.

Meanwhile, Mirko bursts into the lab with Tomura in it and, ah, Mirko. In retrospect (seriously, someone count this and get back to me) this is the start of Hori just... ripping off all her body parts off like she's a cheap toy that he wants to see how much it'll take to break. At the time, I didn't think much of it, at worst it was a cheap way to prove how Serious Shit Was(TM) without killing off anyone named, but once it started happening again, while it just continued to focus on her in fetishy ways as she fights, it started to be a disturbing trend.

I've got some mixed feeling about her in general, because she's.... basiclly Bakugou? But with better limits on her behavior? Like, she's what the fanfic versions of Bakugou tend to end up as, somewhat cruel and crude and definitely violent but channeling it towards acceptable targets rather than, like, everyone around her. I actually like Blood Knight characters, but in this setting, as a hero, it just doesn't fit right, you know?

Still, she's a cool character and definitely deserved better than than being turned into a human stick for whatever kicks Hori seems to be getting out of it.

While I'm at it, let me mention that it's hard to take 'Super Strength Quirks' as a whole seriously sometimes if 'Rabbit' is enough for her to tear through the Semi-High Ends with some early Full Cowl level feats, and Endeavor can be punted through buildings and shake it off. In retrospect (fucking sigh) Endeavour vs the High End and Mirko's big Nomu fight were warnings that, yup, we're going all in on the power levels now, and it's kind of frustrating when, early on, they were trying to take the 'physicality' of Quirks seriously, that they were just human bodies plus this one specific thing, and now Hori's taking the seriousness of his own setting so loosely, just to make BIGGER, more DRAMATIC fights that last a lot longer than they should.

But I digress.

On a different note, while it was nice to see 1A given a time to shine, the fact that they're in this fight, the fact that some of them were essential members of this attack, is just wow. This, making so many of the adult heroes seem so useless that the need to depend on literal high schoolers, is in retrospect a big warning sign of just how accelerated the timeline became. In a more 'normal' situation for something like this, these big, dramatic fights would have happened years later, giving 1A the chance to grow up and make it all less... child soldier-y. There's plenty of shonen settings that have this kind of thing happen, sure, but they're always generally dystopian hellholes in the first place. Naruto the sixteen year old being important is a lot less of a reach when they put ten year olds in life or death situations on the regular anyways. MHA, though, is a modern setting, and they're in an actual, semi-normal school, where they get, like diplomas and shit and learn normal school things, rather than some military academy focused on pumping out ninjas or sorcerers or whatever to fight and die and kill for the cause. Which, UA kinda actually does anyways, but UA and how it doesn't actually make sense as a whole is really getting off topic.

So. Anyways....

OK, fine, Re-Destro being, like, the 'This is Fine' meme as a person is both iconic and deeply understandable and I wish we had more focus on that, but I need to focus back up on this!

Midnight's actual combat tool is a non-combat fan that exists just to fan the air. It kind of makes sense with her power but it's just so... shallow seeming, just playing to her fetishy theme, and I honestly think her doing this, fanning the air dramatically, is one of her more impressive showings in canon? I already know Hori has never taken Midnight seriously but still.

I've already talked about how wonderfully horrible the whole Twice Hawks thing was, so we're just going to ignore that and try to save some space....

Now I think it's time, so let's talk about one of the biggest issues of this arc: Shigaraki.

I've said it before, but him powering up makes sense, especially when he starts taking on the mantle of AFO's replacement. The problem is how much he powers up, and we can lay that at the feet of Garaki, Doctor Power Up, you jerk. He was always going to be one of the top beings in the setting once he got one of the most broken Quirks in the setting, but the fact that he can walk around without a Quirk active, blatantly ignoring all the people actively trying to murder him, refusing to simply kill Endeavor because his character is too important to write off yet, still incomplete and still be so dangerous...; in other words, the fact he effectively has several Quirks even without having a Quick is way too far. The heroes nerfing his development was an elegant solution to this problem, something that was handled a lot better than AFO, both as a person and as the Quirk itself, was. Even with Shigaraki escaping at the end of this, and making the 'final confrontation' energy of this arc fall completely flat*, the fact that he was permanently damaged by this still makes it have more meaning... you know. Until they tossed that out to fix him up anyways, somehow.

*This, actually, is one of the things that made the war so bad for me, actually: the build up was so... This Is It. There was all this hype for this being the Ultimate Fight, because if they don't win here, they'll have no way to meaningfully counter Shigaraki, he'd just be too hard to fight. Maybe if it was later, if Izuku was stronger, them losing could work: there would be a somewhat reasonable way out if they lost, involving a (probably bullshit) power up/training arc with Izuku frantically trying to even begin to match Shigaraki somewhere on his level as a 'transcendent one beyond humanity' before it was Too Late.... but him reaching his full potential at this point was years away, far too late to stop Shigaraki. It didn't sit right, because it was too early, but the way it was set up this was the do or die moment. Then the heroes lost, and that was the moment the story just... went to shit because Hori decided to solve the problem of Shigaraki being too strong by just making everyone else stronger as well.

And sure, a lot of it (most of it) is just Izuku, just Deku getting power up after power up, mastering them all near instantly when before each level of strength he gained was hard fought, requiring time and practice to being able to use them well, even with the new, largely out of nowhere addition of Black Whip, but it's also all the super moves everyone starts breaking out left and right in the final arc. It's Endeavour somehow beating AFO. It's all the big, increasingly dramatic and flashy attacks, all of them being no-selled by SFO because they're not allowed to be a meaningful threat. It's the one scratch on SFO by Bakugou (of fucking course) being, not because he's that strong (thank fuck) but because of some weird PTSD flashback on AFO's end. It's Deku, The Main Character, finally showing up and being the only person able to anything. That moment, in retrospect, is the moment when the power levels became the most important thing for a character above anything else, beyond strategy and planning, beyond how a power even works; any of it, all of it, they all paled before how strong is this character, how hard can they hit, how much damage can they take. It takes the idea of everyone being a hero, of the lesson Izuku had started to reject from the very beginning of the story, that people aren't born equal, being proved right all along, despite how the story trying to tell us otherwise.

That Izuku was only ever special because All Might graced him with his Quirk, and nothing else.

Oh. I can't believe I didn't mention that one second later retcon of Shigaraki awakening 'because of his hatred' instead of the far more reasonable electricity zapping him. With the delicious irony of it only happening because a hero was doing the 'heroic' thing of not minding his own business, no less; that would have been the cherry on top of the sundae of him coming back, as the perfect symbolism of how the heroes keep creating the villains they fight.

Don't get me wrong, his awakening itself is epic, you can almost hear the epic dark chorus singing in the background as he destroys everything, but... it's flashiness for the sake of flashiness, the way he officially wakes up. Not for any logical reason, but because his hatred is so immense it breaks reality, just like Izuku magically defies Nighteye's prediction, even though MHA pretends it's 'grounded' and that all it's super powers are biologic instead of anything more metaphysical that would help explain that off. It's just empty hype just for the sake of hype, no matter how little sense it makes. In this situation, it's relatively harmless, sure, but it's easy for it to become less harmless, like, perhaps, power ups just to make Shigaraki, Izuku, Bakugou, or whoever else is in focus at the moment look better, even if it doesn't make sense for them to actually happen. Or dramatic, meaningless 'deaths' and equally dramatic and ridiculous 'resurrections' that couldn't possibly result in a drastic increase in a person's abilities.

*looks meaningfully at the final arc's bullshit*

But surely, surely, Hori wouldn't do that, right? Right?

But anyways, back to the War Arc and... 'booty incoming'. Really. Really? Must we? Must we do this? Can't we have a woman on screen for five minutes without something sexual being referenced?

And then Bakugou's back, still speaking to everyone he can like they're trash, and still with people surprised by this, somehow, like this isn't a long established character trait for him, or that he would actually have any respect for old people. And then everything's being Dusted, people are panicked, and the heroes are full in crisis mode and yet his comment on the situation is "I'll wreck him". Not something about teamwork, not something about saving people, not even that he'll stop him, which has connotations of protection, but wreck, which screams aggressiveness and destruction. And it's just... so completely ignoring the seriousness of the situation, where everyone else is concerned about the city vanishing into dust, and Bakugou just wants to crush the enemy just to crush them.

It has all the energy of someone slapping their edgy OC into a scene by saying a meaningless line that can be somewhat reasonably ignored by the actual characters because it's so out of place. And then next chapter he just screams about killing Izuku instead of the actual threat when Izuku wonders why he's even there. Look, I get that, for some god forsaken reason, that Hori wants to play Bakugou's violent, abusive tendencies as 'comedy', but even if it was comedy, actually comedy and not thinly painted over abuse, there is a time and place for comedy, and this situation is not that time.

And, oh look, Eraserhead is finally fulfilling his true purpose: not being a teacher, but desperately acting as a bandaid to try and salvage the plot after Shigaraki contracted Madara Syndrome! And yet we still get shit like, 'The worst case is losing the teacher who watched over us all this time!' You know, the person who 'watched over you' by systematically destroying your ability to trust that anything he says or does isn't just another lie 'logical ruse', instead of the already unstoppable villain being even more unstoppable, because that is the context of the worst case scenario here, just so we're all clear: losing Aizawa would be worse than Shigaraki getting OFA.

(I mean, you could make a case that losing Erasure, the Quirk, is worse than him getting OFA, because Erasure can counter OFA so in that respect, Shigaraki getting it wouldn't change Aizawa's utility, but that's not the argument that's happening here; it's not Eraserhead, the tactical asset, the would be a loss, it's Aizawa the asshole of a person, who would be a tragic loss worse than OFA, the only hope anyone in this story has.)

Hori, if you could just throttle down the overhype of your Kakashi proxy and the angry fan favorite for five minutes while the shit gets real that would be great, thanks.

"If we can't stop one person, what is the point of this hero-saturated society?" You know what... Burning(?), that's a great question; I'm just going to leave this quote here on it's own merits.

And then Midnight is merced off screen by a meaningless mook, basiclly never to be mentioned again. You know, I didn't like how hollow her characterization was, but the answer to that is not to just off her and move on.

Meanwhile, Gran Torino is torn into by Shigaraki, but still manages to shrug it off. And, while we're on this topic...

Momo: is a genius.

Also Momo: makes a drug that is administered by injection instead of in a gas form.

Still Momo: doesn't think to make anyone else some extra knock out vial... things.

Still Momo: the sleep drug she makes take so long to take effect that this entire exercise is almost pointless.

Ashido: has the toss.

Also Ashido: fumbles the toss at the last minute out of surprise so that a man can do it for her, in a reversal of a situation that she had handled better before than he did, as an excuse to show his growth at her expense.

Classic Hori. Why let a woman actually be helpful when they can just try and fail to meaningfully improve the situation for the better?

And, ah yes. After just going on, with all apparently seriousness, about how he'll fight Izuku if he dares question why he's following him around, 'Bakugou Rises', and 'has his body move on it's own'. You know, heroically. Even though by all accounts he did and still does think and act on his instinct to just attack other people. And his dramatic 'sacrifice' is just going to be shrugged off and he's still going to be able to fight in anther couple of minutes. And, despite how it's presented like he comes to a big realization, he still acts exactly the same after this.

Riiiight, I buy that. Oh, and the person to notice something off about All Might's notes? Who was that again? Was it Izuku, who started off the series by analyzing Quirks a lot, and took the notes seriously, or is it Bakugou, who instantly insulted everyone in the notes off a surface level impression of them?

...Well. Now that the Bakugou simping portion of the war is finally past us, let us continue with Hori writing off one of his most interesting villains, just to replace him with the one he's refused to develop, just so we can start undoing all his wonderful development.

Thankfully, we come to one of the few parts I like about this mess: Dabi's Dance. Fucking glorious it is; the man is just vibing about the mayhem he's causes, the wonderful little psychopath. And let me tell you, 'The Past Never Dies' hits a lot harder than anything AFO has ever said.

Say what you want about him being a crazed murderer, beyond all hope of redemption, or blindingly insane? I'm not going to argue with you (though the story might, the way things are going) but you can't disagree with me about this: for all of his many, many flaws, the man understands Megamind's lesson about Presentation.

Oh. And Lemillion's back, I guess. If I seem unenthusiastic about it, well, that's about as much enthusiasm as Hori seems to have about that, so don't blame me.

Wait, the Bakugou simping is back on, or should I say, the Great Explosion Murder God Dynamite simping is back on. Fuck, Hori, remember what I said about a time and a place for comedy? Remember that?

Sigh... And the perfect place to end this clusterfuck of an arc off: 'You look like you needed saving', in reference to one of the greatest villains in the series, a mass murder who has spent the last five minutes trying to kill you, Izuku, what the fuck. But, it's over, right? Now that the War Arc is over, it can only get better, right?! Ha, if only!

Welcome to Post War, suckers: AKA, the point where Hori just stops giving a shit.

You see, for all the many, many, many flaws of the War Arc, Hori at least spent time on them, fleshed out dramatic moments, character reactions, and the lead up to those moments. But after? Hori has a checklist, somewhere, of all the major points he wants to do before the manga ends and he's checking things off, sure, but that's all he's doing: checking off the major plot points, one after the other. We've reached speedrun manga hell, where no character gets time actually think about anything anymore, or hold a conversation with someone that doesn't involve violence, or even break down in a proper hysterical cry.

Oh, look, a new character! What's that, an interesting character with deep ties to previously untouched worldbuilding you've been curious about? You want to know more about the corruption of the heroic society, or a country that isn't Japan for once?

Well, too bad, because they're gone. Where we're going, we don't have time for the current characters, much less new ones. If you see someone you've never seen before, enjoy your handful of chapters before they're thrown away like trash.

What's this? Izuku is finally getting some new character development? He's doing something new, different, and exciting, with potential to make him think about his future and heroism? WRONG! Class 1A can't have that! They're going to hunt him down like a dog for daring to leave them, and beat the living shit out of him to prove their friendship.

Just like Bakugou does! Good thing he's leading them, just like the old days in Aldera! And wow, that's some top tier Karma Houdini bullshit there, isn't it?

Pop Quiz: according to Bakugou, what does Deku mean?

Useless, you got it!

Next question: what does Bakugou still call Izuku, the same way he has since they were young, young children up to the present?

Deku!

How about this? How long has All Might actually interacted with Izuku?

Oh, maybe two years or so, you say? That's right!

During this time, has he ever once called Izuku either useless or Deku, beyond as his hero name?

Not once, correct!

So, taking all of this into account, final question: if Izuku considers himself Dek- I'm sorry, useless, what one person is the most reponsible for that?

All Might!

Hmm. Hmmm. Something seems wrong with that last answer. Gee, I wonder what seems wrong about that last answer, I'm so confused.

So, yeah, after Izuku leaves, not runs away, mind you, leaves, because UA isn't a prison and he has every right to leave, Bakugou explains how Izuku's complete lack of self respect is All Might's fault, before whipping all his classmates into a frenzy to go hunt him down.

Then, after finding him, already exhausted from constantly fighting for his life, all of them gang up on him, attack, try to knock him out, and after he gives up on making his own choices against the sheer amount of peer pressure being thrown his way, Bakugou apologizes.

For what? Well, if we didn't read the manga, we sure wouldn't know, because Bakugou didn't want to talk about that! No, it's just how Izuku, weak, helpless Izuku who idolized him, and had no Quirk, somehow made him feel inferior, and that's why he was so angry all the time. How dare Izuku have hopes and dreams?! And then we end it up with the absolutely touching message that this won't change anything.

Wow, Great Explosion God Dynamite. I'm moved. You truly are beyond us mere mortals, to know how an apology can only be truly sincere when you explain how utterly worthless it is! Brilliant! Truly, this is that Post War quality we know and love!

Oh, and the Traitor arc. Think back, everyone, back to the days where this manga was about being in a school, and think about the traitor that ratted out the class to AFO. Remember that? Well, it's Aoyama. What, the last chapter made you think it was someone else? Psych!

Anyways, Aoyama was actually the traitor the whole time, and it just... never came up again; AFO never saw a use for someone inside UA since they attacked the summer camp, I guess, and there's no possible way he could have used that asset again, no sir. Well, now that we've all yelled at him a bit, I guess we're all fine with that now; let's use him to ambush AFO! With loopholes to get around his lie detector Quirk! Surely, after giving him one Quirk to help him infiltrate one of the most important places in Japan, there's no way AFO could have planted, say, a second Quirk in Aoyama, as a way to deal with possible treachery; no we've never seen him do that recently. Or just observe him, or really do anything to make sure he stays loyal.

Oh wait, he was Quirkless? A dark mirror to Izuku, you say, both of which got a Quirk from two of the most important characters in the series, in a way that drastically changed their lives and tied them together antagonistically?! What does Izuku think about that? Don't you know better than to ask that kind of question; we don't have time to reflect on things, much less Izuku's Quirkless past that has basiclly been retconned out of existence at this point.

Was any of that too fast for you? Maybe too confusing? Did you want me to maybe break up that last section a little more, spend some more time on each major plot twist as it happened, how people felt about it? Well, congratulations, that's exactly what it feels like to read MHA Post War.

*screams in fury forever*

Hori. Hori, why did you do this to me? This story started off so good. What the fuck is all this?

Three Months pt 3

Yandere!Hawks x Male Reader

Slow Burn?

No matter how slow, Hawks is a bit much-

Warnings

Some Season 4 Spoilers

A/B/O elements

“Well, yeah, what did you expect?” Hawks shoved the last of his yakitori into his mouth, “What heroes have chill fans? Hey, are you done here, cause I’ll totally eat the rest.”

“At least pretend to care, you glutton.”

“I know, I’m awful right? But like I said, I can’t control my fans.”

Endeavor had spent the last few minutes trying to get Hawks to apologize to y/n. Something about the hero's code that number two couldn’t seem to care less about. Y/n didn’t even want an apology, but who was going to tell Endeavor that? Not him.

“You know, I’ve dealt with a lot of crazed fans before. Can’t say anyone has ever used their quirk against me though. Some kind of warning would have been nice.”

“Look kid, you knew this job was going to be intense. Why are you surprised? You can always just quit.”

“Hawks!” Endeavor slammed his hands on the table, wild flames caused both reporters to dive back. “Heroes should nev-”

“Heroes should never fail their exams? I agree. Although that does put a damper on things when you are trying to recruit the son of the number one hero.”

“How dare you-”

Y/n shot Sasaki a panicked look. The fire reflected off the glass smothering the reporter in a blinding red light.

‘Do something’ The green-haired reporter mouthed out, “I can’t say anything. UA, remember?”

Y/n looked between the two heroes.

Endeavors flames towering above them. Parts of the ceiling curling under the proximity. The heat causing y/n to flinch. Despite the burning light inches from his face, Hawks leaned back in his chair with a smirk. The position of his chair being the only acknowledgment of the number one’s flame. So the same as usual.

“Recruit? You mean like the UA internship program?” Y/n picked up his chair and moved it further away from Endeavor. “I thought you worked with that bird kid?”

“Hmm? Oh yeah, Tsukuyomi! He has potential. But I did scout Shoto after the sports festival. His ice is impressive, if you ask me.”

“Then it's a good thing no one asked you,” Endeavor muttered. “I didn’t come all the way to Kyushu to talk about this nonsense. Tell me why I’m here.”

“Don’t tell me you have forgotten already, old man. It’s about the rumors.”

“Ominous.” Sasaki stiffed a laugh at y/n’s remark.

“Don’t mock this, boy. You have yet to understand the gravity of the situation!”

“Oh give him a break Endeavor! The nomu situation is above his pay grade.”

The room fell silent at the mention of the leagues’ monsters. Panic had fallen over Japan after the recent attack on a camp full of UA students. Everyone from the average citizen to the most popular hero spent their days waiting. Waiting for news. Waiting to hear what had happened to the kidnapped student? Waiting to hear what was UA going to do about it?

Y/n remembers having to write about Bakugo’s kidnapping. The entire time he thought back to what people had been saying about him after the sports festival. Sure there were mixed reactions, but the general opinion was that he was too aggressive to be a hero. Now that he might never come back everyone was singing a different tune. Y/n didn't envy the kid.

Almost immediately after y/n had finished writing his fifth update on the boy, there was more news. All for One was back. And All Might was fighting him. This was the league's plan from the start.

Even before the LOV was making such dramatic moves, they used the nomus. Since the first few appearances, Y/n had been researching and comparing all information on the monsters.

“This conversation could have been over the phone Hawks, why did you bring me here?”

“It's like I said, there have been multiple sightings here. New nomus. More advanced than what we have seen. There has to be a warehouse in the area we can bust.”

“Have you seen the warehouses? I’ve been trying to figure out how these fuckers are made- they seem to be mass-produced in a way? Right?” Y/n pulled up nearly five months of information on the monsters and showed it to Hawks. “How much more advanced are we talking? “

“This- this is a lot of information, kid. When did you manage to do this?”

“Oh- um- consider it a hobby?”

“Some hobby.”

“Have you reported this information to the HPSC?” Endeavor grabbed the phone from Hawks. “This could greatly help the heroes.”

“The HPSC doesn't like to take direct information from reporters.” Sasaki sighed, “Unless they work under the commission full time.”

“The best I can do is update the heroes I work with on what I know. But most of my recent work has been on that Bakugou kid and Allmight.”

The group stared at the phone in silence. So much information. Information that could save people. Information that was being ignored.

“How many heroes know?” Endeavor took a video of the information before handing it to Hawks who did the same.

“Aside from the two of you, not many. Kamui Woods, Nighteye, Mt Lady, and 13. I’m hoping 13 told Nezu.”

“So few? I thought you were some amazing reporter.”

“I have to agree with Hawks, this information should have been shared faster.”

“Being a reporter isn’t like being a hero,” Sasaki grabbed a large binder from his bag and laid it on the table. “These are the interviews I’ve been able to snag in the last two months.”

Y/n scanned the papers as Sasaki separated them into piles on the table. One for Mandalay. One for Ectoplasm. One for Hound Dog.

Three interviews in two months. Three interviews that had to be fought tooth and nail for. Heroes are busy and very few are willing to sit and talk. They don’t get paid to do that.

Y/n crossed his fingers to get one interview every two months.

But one a month?

How many interviews do the other reporters get a month?

Darkness was cast over the room. A rain cloud? No. It was clear when they walked in. Y/n shifted his gaze to the window in front of him. A black spot blocked out the sun. A growing black spot. A quickly growing black spot.

“Hawks?”

The winged hero didn’t reply. The dot grew limbs. Long arms. Strong arms. And legs. The dot grew larger.

“Hawks.”

Y/n stared at the dot’s jaw. Too many teeth crammed into a space far too small. Sharp teeth. Long teeth. The dot’s- the nomu’s- eyes were stuffed into its pulsing brain. Eyes that were focused on him.

“HAWKS!”

Y/n activated his quirk making a small shield around the table moments before shards of glass exploded around the room. The impact strong enough to send him to the ground. Pounding. His head was pounding. It seemed to echo around the room. Pounding. He could feel it. The nomu was pounding on the barrier. It wouldn’t last long. He couldn’t last long.

“Y/N!” Sasaki leaped over the table and grabbed the injured man’s arm.

A bright light, brighter than Endeavor’s flames, crowded his vision. He floated in nothing. The pounding had stopped. It was quiet. In the back of his mind y/n was aware his quirk was still active, if only because of the faint thumping. Thumping?

“Once I let him go the barrier is gone. We need to do something!”

Sasaki sounded so far away. Y/n didn’t hear whatever reply was given. He felt himself being moved.

“You sure? But the barrier-”

Y/n was ripped back into reality. The nomu charged at him but red feathers dragged him away before the monster could land a hit.

Hawks held both reporters by their jackets as he raced them out of the building. A loud crash and the roar of flames. Hawks let go. A free fall. And a new flight path.

Red feathers once again dragged y/n away from danger. But this time? Away from a story. The reporters were once again dropped. Onto the roof of some building with a horrible view.

"I can get us closer."

18+ ONLY, MINORS DNI

risotto ✂️

he absolutely craves intimacy. goin hard and gettin freaky is super fun obviously but to him the best, most fulfilling and satisfying sex is when he and his partner are just close as can be in every way

he wants to open up. create a space like that for him, where he knows he's as safe with you as you are with him, and you'll really see the incredibly gentle, loving, and passionate side of risotto. he knows how he presents himself outwardly, as cold and intimidating, but the thought of everyone seeing him as just that--or worse, seeing himself as just that--makes him feel empty and he hates it.

so be his safe haven where he can express just how damn loving he is, openly acknowledge that side of him and embrace it, love it wholeheartedly, and let him know that you know he keeps you safe in turn not just with his ferocity, but his softness. he'll be so full of love he'll wonder how he ever could have felt empty.

he'll want to make love face to face, looking into each other's eyes, kissing soft and deep, and just absolutely basking in how you make each other feel. he'll want to take his time to feel every single inch of you and leave nothing untouched. he could do this for hours and hours, all day really, and he's almost achingly gentle. do the same for him, feel and love his whole self, let him know that he is precious and deserves to be treated with care; his expression will go so soft (and he is more expressive like this). the way he makes his partner cum isn't just physical, it's euphoria and love felt in every way and he'll want to carry them there as many times as they want because he just wants to make them feel as loved as they make him feel

he's just quiet by nature so he still doesn't say much, he'd rather express himself in other ways and you're connecting so deeply that you hardly need words (depeche mode enjoy the silence plays tenderly in the distance) and he loves that, he loves that intimacy. but he will, as least once, maybe while you're getting him close, whisper an i love you.

you also get him smiling with his cute dimples, because of course you do. and tell him genuinely that he's cute; he doesn't hear it often, and it makes him feel loved. he'll be head over heels.

he'll hold you very close for a long time after, just being with you. he'll stroke your back and feel your heartbeat against his, there's something so beautiful and intimate about it. you make him so happy. he's really warm too, perfect for snuggling!!!!

prosciutto 🚬

his caring nature always comes out at least at some point during sex, but especially when you make love. the tricky part for him is letting himself be cared for, too. he gets a bit nervous about it in all honesty, and that's less about guarding himself and more about guarding everyone else.

help him see there's nothing to worry about. you know you're safe and loved with him always, that doesn't change when he allows himself to be cared for, and in fact brings a whole new level of emotional safety to the table when you connect like that. remind him in no uncertain way that he deserves it, too. remind him that he's human, and show that you want to feel human with him in any way he'll share with you. and of course, he wants that with you. he trusts you completely, and once it really clicks that it's a matter of trust too, it's much easier for him to settle into.

there's something so special and unique about the connection you two make when he lets his walls down in that way. he never could have imagined how amazing it is to let go with you, it's nothing he's ever felt before and he can't get enough of it.

he loves to give, he gives wholeheartedly and unabashedly, and he'll receive your love without hesitation too

the forehead touch. always the forehead touch. it's his way of connecting and showing affection. he may also nudge your noses together and close his eyes to just soak in your presence. if you initiate it, he'll melt.

he embraces imperfection with you and it feels so damn good. he'll get a bit more vocal--not necessarily louder, but breathy whines and whimpers and soft moans. he may get playful too, give sweet little laughs about how you're making him sound and kissing the tip of your nose. you get real smiles out of him with that adorable tooth gap. tell him it's adorable and kiss his cheeks, and he'll laugh again and smile wide and genuinely in that way that ur eyes close too cause ur just so happy u kno

he feels so, so fucking loved and it's so beautiful to him. he tells you as much when you're laying there afterwards and he's admiring every inch of you, every mark, blemish or scar, everything that isn't exactly even, admiring your beautiful soul. and he basks as you do the same for him. he'll thank you for sharing this little piece of humanity with him.

pesci 🎣

soft sex is his favourite. sex as a way of feeling close with the person he loves is what vibes with him the most, as an act of emotion and of loving and being loved in return.

it's a lot easier for him to be confident with that kind of sex/perspective on sex, because he knows he can just tap into his emotions and those of his partner. he really shines here, and he may still get a bit flustered because it's sex and sex with you and you're so fucking gorgeous in every imaginable way, but you still get to see this whole other side of him where he's just so comfortable in his skin and it's both really hot and really endearing.

he stops sort of separating or thinking too hard on just the physical or the mental or anything else, and expresses his love on all levels of being in a way that just lights you both up. he thinks being with you in this way is heaven on earth and he will let you know it.

he can make love with you like this anywhere soft and quiet and private, but aside from your bed, he loves the bath. he loves bath sex in general for the warmth and wetness and intimacy, and especially when you're connecting in this way, it's like.... he wouldn't consider himself to be poetic or particularly spiritual, but there's just something special about making love in water, maybe because we're all born from water, we all need water to live, all life on earth came first from the water. it's just something he thinks about.

he'll want to be face to face; he loves watching your face because seeing you in pleasure is so beautiful to him, he'll want to see your eyes flutter closed and open and commit the look you give him to memory, soft and sort of honeyed-hazy y'know but bright because you love him, and you're loved by him, and he can see it in you. he'll want to hold hands too, and twine your fingers together.

words come a lot easier to him like this too, because he knows there's nothing to hide and nothing to worry about, so he'll just murmur throughout about how much he loves you, how good you make him feel in every way, how he wants to make you feel like that too. show him that he does; he'll kiss you so softly and with so much love that he feels like he could burst.

he's just so soft and gentle in every way. he'll want to still just hold your hand for a long time afterwards.

formaggio 🧀

he's very emotionally in tune, that connection u create with a partner no matter how casual is a huge part of his enjoyment of sex, so he absolutely loves taking all the time in the world to just feel each other in every way and be so emotionally close with you

he often likes to feel like a big macho guy taking care of his babe but he loves being taken care of too because he can experience another side of your connection (and it's just nice!!!!), so when he really makes love with his partner he can feel sort of both at the same time and he loves it. he just feels so entwined with you.

he's still playful, it's in his nature. but when y'all get really tendie he'll be especially gentle with how he plays around. he'll tweak your nose and kiss your neck to hear you giggle, he just loves to make his partner laugh and he's laughing and smiling too

he also still talks a lot, he murmurs about how much he loves you and how incredible you are, how you make him feel amazing in every way, he'll list off all the little things he notices about you that he's just so fond of. he doesn't tease as much, he just grounds himself in the moment with you. it's also really hot and sweet to hear his words trail off with little laughs or sighs or soft moans.

he also has a lot of cute pet names for his partner, and he does still use them but when you get really soft like this he'll often just murmur or moan your name more than anything and there's something so intimate about it

overall you'll see an even more genuine side of formaggio (and he's already a pretty down to earth dude) because he really just feels most at ease when he's surrounded by love

he'll snuggle and kiss you and lay around for a long time afterwards, play with your hair, stroke your back, talk about everything and nothing and how much he loves you. his wandering hands may lead to more lovemaking; he just can't get enough of you.

illuso ✨

it takes a lot for illuso to open up like that. he's extremely guarded with his emotions. he very much desires softness, and there's something about being bare (more than just physically) that really draws him in, but he'd need a lot of trust to get there.

and it's not just him trusting you that's part of the equation either; he isn't used to being trusted. show him honestly that you trust him, and treat every glimpse of genuineness from him with love, and it'll go right to his heart. he's unused to being really seen, so if you see who he is and choose to openly share your heart with him, he'll be smitten.

ask him to just be with you, and he will, he'd love nothing more. reassure him that he doesn't have to think so much; you can both just let go and feel. you'll see a side of illuso where he's just in awe and a really pure sort of wonder of what you create together, this little moment in time and space, this experience across all states of being.

you absolutely make love in the mirror world. it's illuso's safe haven, and he wants it to be yours as well, it's an entire world where there's no one and nothing but the two of you and the love you make and that's so special to him. he'll want to take his time, and with no possible interruptions, he can. you spend hours together; he goes very slow and very gentle. he just wants you to know how precious you are to him, and how much he wants to be with you.

you'll explore every single inch of each other. he'll kiss you absolutely everywhere, and not just in the obvious places; he'll kiss your palms, your fingers, your closed eyelids, every mark on your skin. when he kisses your lips, it ranges everywhere from a mere brush to open-mouthed, deep, and languid. treat him with the same slow, thorough care, and he'll melt.

he doesn't tease. he'll probably be pretty quiet, but once he whispers that he loves you, he'll find himself just telling you all his inner thoughts, everything he loves about you and everything you make him feel: truly beautiful in a way he'd hardly experienced before, safe, so genuinely loved. if you express the same to him, that you feel his love for you in every little way he shows it and cares, that you see and feel his whole self and love him in his entirety, that he makes you feel precious, he will feel precious too. he may actually cry a bit. he's just so happy with you.

he's the kind of guy who likes to watch everything, but he's not sure what to do now: see the love in your eyes or close his eyes to bask in it. he opts to just go with the flow of the moment. he's completely open and unguarded, his hair is loose (if you run your fingers through it he'll sigh sweetly), he'll give you these genuine smiles, you'll get real little laughs out of him, and every sound he makes (including the way he murmurs your name) is so soft.

he can't stop smiling after, he'll hold you and play with your hair, and eventually draw a nice bath for you to share

melone 🍈

he absolutely loves soft, emotional sex. of course he likes being kinky and stuff too, but human sexuality as a whole is so fascinating to him, sex is such a beautiful experience in his eyes and he's very eager to explore different expressions of it. it's really interesting to him how you can define making love as something different than fucking when it's all still sex.

he loves the connection it brings. it's such a deep, personal way to feel close with someone and he wants that with you, he wants to explore each other in every way. he loves to learn new things about his partner and finds it so intimate when they learn about him too, whether it's something you've always done that he's just putting his finger on or it's a new development, like the particular way you roll your hips or how your eyes squeeze shut when you cum. point out a subtle habit of his too, like how his breath stutters when you do something he really likes; it makes him feel cared for. but even if there's nothing new to notice, he loves the comfort of your familiarity, too.

he's very open with it, you don't have to wonder what he's thinking about. he'll be murmuring softly about your beauty, how much he cherishes you, how you make him feel cherished too, how good you're making him feel. he wants to know if he's making you feel good, too. tell him so--better yet, show him--and let him know that you feel his love for you, that you feel cared for and safe. he'll smile and give you a long, sweet kiss. tell him anything and everything you're thinking of, he wants to know you in mind, body and soul.

and he is spiritually open and explorative and it fascinates him to think of sex as an act of creation, and even if it isn't sex to make new life it's making love, it's making a bond, and that's a special sort of creation too. he loves to create with you. he understands how it could be viewed as sort of divine.

he loves to care for you, and being cared for in turn makes him putty. knowing that he's truly loved is one of the best feelings ever and it really just makes him wanna cover your face in kisses tbh. which he does, and he laughs hearing you laugh cause you bring him joy.

he's also still loud when he cums but that doesn't make it any less soft and tender tbh because he's just wholeheartedly falling into the bliss you give him, he'll cry out your name and how much he loves you between moans.

he'll want to do this all day if that's what you want too. eventually when you're done, he'll cuddle you, kiss you, and still murmur all his thoughts to you while you both trace patterns in each other's skin.

ghiaccio ❄️

he gets really flustered about soft, emotional sex at first. not just because he's being vulnerable with you, but you're being vulnerable with him, and it's you, and he cares about you so much.

part of him is almost kind of worried he'll never be gentle enough. help him see that's not true, because he absolutely is gentle with you; he knows he can be brash which is why he's always so careful with you, especially in softer moments. you also love him for who he is, in his entirety, and that makes his heart glow. you trust him, and he trusts you.

ghiaccio is passionate, and he can still express that fire in him softly and tenderly. he'll hold your face in both hands while he kisses you, and while he doesn't necessarily kiss hard, he's thorough, and it mellows out into something very soft and subtle before he pulls away. his pace is slowed a lot, because he wants to just feel you in every way; he really relaxes into the rhythm of something slow and gentle, but still passionate, holding your gaze with his hands never leaving your body. thinking of sex as a way to express your love for each other, he can't help but slow down and be soft, cause it's you.

he also can't help but make noise, soft as it may be, and say your name. he doesn't half ass important things, and you're so, so important to him, so he just completely wraps himself in your love and does the same for you. express that, with him, you know you're loved and safe; he'll want to kiss you again and again and again until you're both breathless.

may not talk as much, because soft words don't really come easily to him and he's sort of self-conscious about it, but once he gets really into it and he does start talking he doesn't stop: he'll say how much he loves you and how badly he just wants to show that to you, how you're so hot and gorgeous and loving, and he doesn't really think of them as flowery words because they're just truth, and his penchant for honesty is such a wonderful way to know you're loved

ghiaccio honey why on earth were u worried about not being gentle. after he's cum once or twice and he's gotten some energy out he is so, so gentle, he'll take care of you so tenderly and kiss you softly. he just wants to be close with you.

his cuddly side always comes out after sex and he'll be no different now. he'll press you against him and hook his chin over your shoulder and tangle your legs together, his cuddles are the best. you definitely get him smiling too, cause you make him happy.

sorbet and gelato 🔪🍦

they're both fucking crazy in nearly all aspects of life and that includes sex, but they're also very passionate and very in love with each other and with you; they're no strangers to tender, emotional sex and they love it because it's such a wonderful way to be so deeply close.

they have no problems being bare and open with you. they're so in their feelings all the time that it feels really natural; they'll very openly express how much they love you, all the ways they love you, how deep and powerful that love feels that they just want to surround all of you in it.

gelato is more talkative in that sense, he'll spill all his feelings in between kisses with his hands on either side of your face. sorbet will give you a long, slow, deep kiss, meet your eyes, and place your hand over his heart while your foreheads touch. you just know.

you're all tracing every inch of each other while you make love, they want to know everything because they just can't get enough of you, the entire world is the three of you. they're absolutely basking in your attention, too; kiss every scar and let them know how beautiful they are to you, that you see them and you love them, that they have your heart as much as you have theirs. they'll melt.

you're safe with them. let them know that you feel how deeply they love you and you feel their safety, and that they're safe with you too, that they're precious. having you and each other as their safe havens and being taken care of makes them feel so damn much.

they'll both still get very playful, they can never take anything too seriously and they just love you so much, they want you all to have fun together. gelato will absolutely do that thing where he kisses down ur front like he's gonna go down on u and then blow a raspberry on your tummy to make you squeak (but then he does still go down on you and doesn't break eye contact the whole time so you can see how fucking much he loves you and wants to make you feel good). if you're ticklish, sorbet will definitely sneakily tickle you, or do something really good while you're in the middle of murmuring something to hear you devolve into moans. then he'll press his loving smirk against your skin. they wanna get you both laughing and moaning, it's the best sound in the world to them, and they'll be right there with you.

gelato is still loud when he laughs and when he cums but it's so sweet and charming because that's just who he is and he's absolutely embracing how you both make him feel. sorbet is the quieter one, but he'll hum and sigh and murmur your names because he loves how they feel in his mouth. he will also whisper to both of you that he loves you because he just wants to say it in every way.

they can go all day and they'll absolutely want to. if one of you needs a break, you'll just watch the other two and kiss them and hold them, the way you all love each other is so beautiful to them. when you're all well and truly done, you'll be tangled in a heap (they are always very cuddly) and they'll both be smiling as they just lazily caress and kiss you and each other.

[class1akids]

I wonder if the reason why we're getting everything so rushed is because the general audiance does not really care about all the side contents (side content being everything except Deku and AFO).

For real, we want to see more of Shouto's family situation, Hawks/Tokoyami relationship, Deku's thinking about Bakugou's apology, the so many character arcs we didn't have such as Shouji and Kouji, a proper description and images of the Lov relationship, Shigaraki's feelings and thoughts, the death toll, the parting of so many heroes, etc.

What I believe is all of those would include so much dialogues and fewer actions which is not the recipe for a Shonen. Believe me, I'm craving for the needed dialogues and interactions, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear if people in general just want to see their hero Deku beating the villains and give everyone a happy ending. It's basic, it's sad, and there's nothing we can do except writing fanfics and give ourselves the content we want I suppose.

But...

saving Aoyama was nothing but dialogue.

All Might and Stain was nothing but dialogue.

Uraraka's 3-chapter long rooftop concert was nothing but a dialogue monologue.

AFO post-war has nothing but endless, boring monologue.

Top3 team-up? Nothing but exposition.

And all of these were beating the same points over and over and over and over and over. It lacked emotional gravity.

There has not been a lot of action - unless with the new characters like Nagant, or the Star-fight which was almost universally despised. Even the Deku-retrieval is just conversations, with some quirks shown off. There is no real fighting involved.

In the entire last year, I've only seen fandom get excited during those scenes that delivered on emotions and previous build-up:

- Deku ditching All Might

- Class 1A finally showing up in Ch 319

- Bakugou's apology

- Kouta hugging Deku

Kacchan in stirrup pants got way more reactions and art than a lot of "major plotpoints" happening - also in the Japanese fandom, from what I've seen in Twitter.

Because this late in the game, people are starved to see their faves / comfort characters whom they have invested years into get some pay-off.

I'm not sure that Japanese fandom is happy with ONLY Deku getting hype fights.

I haven't read many manga before, and with this experience being what it is, I'm not sure I'll invest energy in another one, but I see JJK being insanely popular while letting other characters than the MC shine in fights and take the lead for a few chapters. So I'm not sure if BNHA's extreme MC-centrism is the norm or what is expected.

I'm sooooooooo saturated with Deku and his fights - we have just spent an entire year with nobody but him. I feel like we are over-exposed. Yes, we know he's the ultimate hero. Yes, we know he's the most powerful. I don't even feel like there is a hurdle for him to jump through, and with how cheaply his extra powers came, it's become very difficult for me to feel any kind of catharsis for his triumphs. It just feels like more of the same.

I'm reading Vigilante and Koichi in the final fight really feels like whan a superior Deku-endgame would have been. So easy to root for, so pure heroism rather than the "mighty saviour"-complex of Deku.

I want the spotlight on the other main characters (Hori himself called them that) - Bakugou, Shouto especially. Both of them have been constantly pushed down and sidelined and made stumble by the story, and I need that emotional release of seeing them rise and be allowed to be awesome and win on their own merits.

Any time these two get some content, the fandom comes alive. When other fan-favourites like Iida, Uraraka, Kirishima get good content, the fandom comes alive.

It's really hard for me to accept that Japanese fandom wants nothing but watch Deku goated in fights and does not care about anyone else in the class.

I really hope that the Deku-sun sketch series is a metaphor of the endgame and we will see Bakugou putting himself back in the story and punch the sun out of the sky and we'll see Todo-moon rise.

[theteapotofdoom]

I know that this is all very basic and obvious on a surface level, but I feel like we should talk more about how much of AFO’s plans for Tomura relies on hate vs empathy.

Again, I don’t think that anyone is confused about that, it’s not subtext it’s literally the text! But I want to talk about it! 

I want to talk about how Horikoshi made a point to show us that Tenko was a very kind, caring, sensitive and empathetic little boy. He liked to help others! He wanted to be a hero! And then Horikoshi showed us that at least 80% of AFO’s manipulation, abuse, and grooming, was SPECIFICALLY focused on turning Tomura into a hateful and angry person. As soon as he found him, he made sure to explain to him that their world and the people in it were cold and indifferent. 

AFO empathised many times that people not bothering to help him was the source of Tomura’s suffering, literally the first thing that AFO ever did to Tomura was to give him an enemy, a target, an object that he should hate. The first few words that AFO ever said to him were “these are the people who you should hate”. He then forced Tomura to wear the hands of his deceased family member all over his body 1) as a reminder of what he had done, to condition him to believe that he was made to kill and destroy 2) to maintain him in an unstable and vulnerable state at all time 3) also controlling symbolism. When Tomura was attacked by those thugs as a child, his first instinct wasn’t to kill them, he walked away from them, so AFO had to pushed him to go back out there to do it. 

Honestly, it’s fucking me up to think about how when Tomura was introduced, his entire personality/goal/focus was hating the heroes AND IT WASN’T EVEN HIM. That was the only thing he ever thought about or talked about, and this wasn’t even something that came from himself, it was something that AFO had repeatedly ingrained in him for 15 years. And yes, some of his personality still shines through, he is chaotic and insolent, he is snarky and makes video games references, but when we meet him he almost only exists through AFO’s words and ideas. 

To be honest, I’m in awe of Horikoshi’s powerful brain right now, because when you look back on Tomura’s first apparition in the USJ arc, everything is already there. Everything about his behaviour, the way he talks, the way he reacts to things, everything fits PERFECTLY with what we learn about him and AFO way later in the story. I know that it should be the bare minimum for a good story, but holy shit, Horikoshi does it perfectly. Again, AFO’s whole plan was to turn this boy into the most hateful person possible. This is why AFO’s “sacrifice” during the Hideout Raid Arc is actually an extremely selfish (and clever) move on his part. I mean, AFO says it himself! He won his battle against All Might because he just gave Tomura YET ANOTHER REASON to hate this world and the heroes in it. For 15 years, AFO made sure to be the (1) person that Tomura didn’t hate, and then he purposely removed himself from the equation. Damn, he is such a good villain.

But also that’s when the LOV comes into the picture, and THAT’S WHY THE LOV IS SO IMPORTANT IN TOMURA’S ARC IN THE STORY! Because with the LOV around and AFO out of the picture, we see that ... Tomura cares. Obviously, he is still a criminal (very sexy of him), but we begin to see a dissonance between his words and his actions. He keeps repeating the things that AFO taught him and that he believes to be true, he talks about how he hates everything and has no attachment to anything and just wants to destroy the world, BUT  that doesn’t match with his actions at all. We repeatedly see him being worried, anxious, caring, and generally emotional about the LOV. He is genuinely distraught about Magne’s death, he makes sure that Compress can have his revenge on Overhaul, he lets Toga know that she is included in his new world, he risks almost everything to save Giran, and he goes crazy when he realises that Re Destro has hurt and manipulated Jin. It’s like pieces of Tenko shining through, the same little kid who made sure that everyone was included in the game he played. Again, very much still a criminal, but the truth is that when Tomura is unguarded and away from AFO, he cares. He is a very emotional and empathetic person. 

It doesn’t magically solve years of abuse and manipulation. He still hates the heroes and has no problem fighting children if they’re going to be sent at him on a battlefield. He doesn’t magically change, he still has no problem killing the people who are against him. But he is different from how he is with AFO in the picture. 

And to be perfectly honest, I don’t know if AFO predicted this development or not. I feel like it could go either way, AFO is always playing 5d chess with everyone so it’s hard to tell. But I think that he didn’t really think that this would happen? It doesn’t change much for him, but it’s not a development that he had anticipated I think. Whenever he talked to Tomura about the LOV, he mostly referred to them as pawns and tools that could be of use to him (and we saw in the flashbacks how AFO treated his own people). And I think that this is why he kind of had to “force his way through Tomura” when he possessed him (this is a terrible sentence I’m so sorry, I don’t know how else to put it). He didn’t think that Tomura would be resisting him or fighting him at that point, or at least it doesn’t look like he did. It’s not a problem for him so he just kind of laughs about it, but it definitely feels like it was a surprise and like he had to be forceful. Because around that time, AFO expected Tomura to be the empty angry shell that he had taught him to be.

This goes without saying, but this is why AFO and Tomura are such wonderful narrative foils for All Might and Deku. Because All Might only ever taught Deku how to be kind and caring. Because All Might CHOSE Deku as his successor when he saw Deku selflessly trying to save someone. All Might is trying to teach Deku that a true hero must save people’s hearts as well as people’s lives. 

AFO taught Tomura: “the world is your enemy, everyone is against you, all these people are the source of your suffering, nothing matters, you were born to destroy it all”

All Might taught Deku: “the world is complicated and messy but you must always be kind and compassionate and reach out to the people who look like they need help, it’s a long journey but you can slowly make everything a little better day by day”

AND THIS IS WHY THE CLASH IS SO GOOD!!! This is why the dynamic between Deku and Shigaraki is so good! This is like the unstoppable force meeting the unmovable object. This is Deku’s unshakable compassion and empathy meeting Shigaraki’s (supposedly) unmovable trauma and anger. This is Deku trying to reach out to a young man that was taught that no one will ever reach out to him. (Which is why I think that Shigaraki WILL be saved in some way, but shall see).

Honestly, MHA is so good because the main conflict is really “hatred vs empathy” and I vibe with that so hard. Tomura was GROOMED into thinking “the world is cruel so I must be crueller” and Deku was TAUGHT to think “the world is cruel therefore I won’t be” and that’s good storytelling babeyyyyy!

Anyway, I don’t know if I said anything of value here. It doesn’t feel like a good analysis or meta post because all the things that I’ve said are very surface level and obvious, but I think that these things are very cool so I wanted to talk about it. And if you disagree with me, that’s cool too, art is subjective and we all interpret it differently :D

[pa-panda-heroes]

May I ask for some soft requests for the league ? What would they say to their S/O as they sleep in their arms ? Thank you 🥰❤️

ohooh this is cute, yes :>

What the LoV would say to their s/o as they sleep in their arms!

Tomura:

Honestly, Tomura wouldn’t say much at first. He’s much more intrigued by the face you make in your sleep and just watching you, content in knowing that you’re safe and asleep in his arms.

He’s also afraid of waking you, so he tries to be really quiet. But if he knows he can get away with it, he’ll absolutely run his index finger back and forth along your cheekbone lovingly.

Eventually he’ll get brazen enough to start whispering to you, firstly telling you that he’s happy to see you because he’s had a rough day, and then he goes on.

He’ll tell you about the nightmare he had the night before, wherein you had been hurt somehow - Tomura couldn’t remember details, but the tight feeling in his chest when he woke up stuck with him.

“I will keep you safe, I don’t care what I have to do. I’ll tear all of Japan apart. No, the world.”

And so he’ll tell you things he wouldn’t tell you if you were awake: what ran through his mind the minute he landed eyes on you, what kind of dates you’d go on if he weren’t a notorious villain, how he wants to see you smile more often, that he’s so happy you exist.

“You look as peaceful awake as you do when you’re asleep. That’s a good thing, right? I’m glad. I hope... I’m the reason.”

Eventually whatever leaves his mouth ends up as Tomura musing about you. It’s almost as if you aren’t even there and he’s missing you, like you were somewhere far away and he couldn’t bear not to see you.

Mr. Compress:

You could be cuddling watching TV or something, and he won’t even realize you’ve fallen asleep. It’s when he gushes about suddenly craving broiled eel like the one expertly prepared by the chef on TV, that he notices.

And he just melts. One thing Mr. loves to do is watch your facial expressions and how they change throughout the day, so he’s sky high when he gets to see your sleepy face(s) unabashedly.

He’ll compare them to expressions you make while you’re awake and will narrate how your facial muscles stretch and change as if you’re conscious enough to hear - and care.

From the faces you make, he’ll move on to just what he loves about your face in general, which eventually leads to what he enjoys about your personality.

“You’re perfect, you know that? I’m not idolizing you, you have flaws and so do I, but what I mean to say is... you’re perfect for me. But naturally, as I sit here, must I wonder - am I perfect for you?”

By the heavens he hopes so. And he’ll tell you that. He’ll tell you that no matter how much ruckus he stirs as a villain, he hopes that you’ll stay by his side and love him unconditionally. Being a villain isn’t some character flaw, he knows that.

“I think, maybe, you’re what I live for. What I fight for? Maybe both. No, maybe neither. What I mean is... hm, I can imagine different futures all I want, but I can’t imagine a single one of them without you.”

Mr. may not be adept at putting such intimate and serious thoughts into words, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stop trying.

Twice:

To say that Twice wouldn’t take the chance to shamelessly ogle your sleeping face, would be to lie.

And to say that Twice wouldn’t take the chance to gush about you and how strong yet gentle and caring you are, shamelessly? Yep - a lie.

He’s going to narrate in explicit detail what it looked like that time you told off some older woman harassing you over your groceries after a lack of a good night’s sleep and a particularly grueling day. He was so damned proud of you for standing up for yourself.

Twice would 100% talk about selling everything he owns and buying you the fanciest ring he could afford just because. And while on that note, he’d change the purpose of the ring from “for funsies” to “you deserve it.”

“Somewhere down the road, that ring could be... y’know, special, right? More special than it is already, because it is yours, after all. How do I say it without actually saying it?”

Thank everything in existence you’re asleep because this poor man flusters himself! He trips over his words a bit, and he says things that would be embarrassing if you were awake. Hell, they’re embarrassing and you’re asleep!

But Twice means what he says, there’s no questioning it. He’s not much of a liar to begin with, and there’s no way he can look at you and lie - even if he’s trying to surprise you in some way.

“I just hope... you’re happy. This life isn’t so easy, so, ah, I wanna do what I can to make you happy. I want to give you everything you deserve and then some. Easier said than done, but... still!”

Himiko:

Himiko will start off poking and prodding at your face for the sake of doing so while she has you so vulnerable. It’s just self-indulgent fun for her and she can’t help it!

She’ll tug on your cheek, poke your nose, even run her fingers across your eyelids, like she’s making a map of your face. She’ll count the whispies or runaway hairs on your forehead if you have any, or possibly your eyelashes.

Himiko isn’t exactly “sappy,” and she’s not quick to open up. But seeing you so peaceful and serene even after her facial muscle torture, is a delight for her and she has to hold back the urge to squeal.

Oddly enough, she’ll ask you questions that you can’t answer amidst your unconscious state - almost rapid-fire, too.

“What did you think of me when we met? Did you think of me as just another bloodthirsty villain, or did you see me? Could you hear my heart race when I saw you beaten and battered on that sidewalk? Do you love me?”

After that she’ll fall eerily silent, electing to instead roam her hands all over you soothingly, with no ill intent.

Himiko’s face will scrunch as she looks at you, her lips pursing and eyebrows narrowing. To say that she never stalked you would be a lie. She only wanted you safe, and seeing you so defenseless reminded her of that.

“I think you can take care of yourself plenty, my dear. Don’t misunderstand. But the thought of letting you be on your own hurts. What if someone hurts you? Well, I’d hurt them tenfold.”

Dabi:

He’ll know you’re nodding off before you do, seeing your sleepy state the minute he’s exposed to it. Dabi’s attention isn’t anywhere but you when you’re cuddling like this, but you won’t know that.

The tips of his fingers gently ghost over whatever limb they’re closest to, and as he searches for something to say or do, or even think, he’s blank.

His brows furrow in frustration at himself. He’s not as open and verbal about his feelings as you are, and oftentimes it frustrates the living hell out of you, but he can’t help it. He’s been trying, though, and you’ve given credit where it’s due. He appreciates that.

“You put up with my shit too much, you know it? You’re so patient with me, even when you’re ticked at me for bein’ the jackass I am. Even when I do it on purpose, you stick by me. I don’t get it. Why?”

He’s enamored with how easily you seem to look past the grimy and cruel exterior that he’s created over the years, instead looking at Dabi, not the blue flame villain of the League of Villains. Would he stick around if the tables were turned? Psh! No! So why do you stay?

By the time Dabi had you wrapped around his fingers - or was it perhaps the other way around? - he thought he had your character down pat, known like the exact number of staples holding his skin together.

But the more hell he puts you through, as a wicked way of testing your loyalty he can’t help but do, the more you seem to want to stay with him. And the less he understands you.

“I guess I’m really stuck with you, huh? Not that you’ll catch me complainin’. Besides, you’re the one who gets the short end of the stick. Put up a fight more, yeah? Don’t just put up with me. Do what you’ve been doing, and help me be less of an asshole.”

Spinner:

He’s honestly the most clueless and flustered when it comes to talking to you, or about you, while you’re asleep in his arms. He feels so awkward, he can’t help it.

“You always believe in me when no one else does, so, uh, that’s really... nice of you. You’d think I’m a total creep watching you sleep right now if you were awake, huh? I just wish I could believe in myself like you do.”

Do you always encourage him and look up to him? Yes. But are you Spinner’s personal cheerleader? No, not all. What you do is not just boosting his confidence, it’s building it. And he’s going to tell you he appreciates that, if a bit awkwardly, and how much that means to him.

The other members or random passersby can call him a “lizard” all they want, but alongside his protests are always your snippy comebacks and jeered disapproval. He’ll be sure to bring up at least one instance of that.

While he’s telling you he appreciates your standing up for him, he’s also going to tell you to let up a bit so that he gets used to doing it himself. You’re not coddling him or anything, he’s just afraid of relying on you too much.

“I want you to rely on me more. I’m here for you... just like you’re here for me. Does that make sense? I guess it doesn’t matter, since you’re asleep... ah, what was I saying? I just- I want to support you like you deserve, I want to watch out for you. Forever. I want you to be you and not worry about me so much.

Spinner may trip over his words here and there, but his message would be absorbed all the same, if you were awake. He almost wishes you were, but realizes he can tell you all that once you’re conscious again, right? He’ll spill his guts to you, then.

[haleigh-sloth]

hori has been letting me down when it comes to reunions recently and also the dynamic of the league is kind of off? Id you remember how dramatic toga parting with the legue was right before dabis reveal and the words of how sticking together is important and all but now it kind of feels hollow? No mention of twice (even though afo can use it to fuel shigaraki with more hate) no real bond tbh maybe its because afo is there

Hm

I'm gonna get outcasted from the villain-stan circle after this. But I'm going to be brutally honest for a second.

Just for the record--the LOV are the ONLY reason I'm still reading this manga, btw. So when I say the things I'm about to say, it's not because I don't like them. They are my favorite characters. But be forewarned that this is not....gonna go over well with some people once they read this.

I'll start by saying that the fact that Twice's death hasn't been mentioned or even thought of is extremely irritating and it should have happened a long ass time ago. Hawks has all but become a useless character in the story. He provides literally nothing to the narrative right now because Hori.....idk wtf he decided to do. But he backtracked on Hawks's tragic arc. But THAT is annoying me. BUT--because of the fact that the UA traitor came into play so much later without any mention of it, I'm not worried about Twice's death being mentioned again. I think it absolutely will be, I think Hawks will get his relevance back (maybe/hopefully) but I think the pacing of it is going to just feel loooooongggg overdue. Now--for the rest of the LOV and what we saw:

I don't think the bond among the LOV members seems off. In fact it's damn near what I expected to see ever since the war arc when they got separated.

I feel like people have misinterpreted, or I guess overestimated, the impact that the LOV members have on each other.

They're a group of misfits who could not find anywhere to belong in general society, and could only find it with each other.

I feel like people took that as "Oh, they're all happy together. They don't need anybody else as long as they have each other."

And to state it simply, I think that is incorrect.

That is entirely the opposite of what the LOV is. Have you noticed how there is zero focus or insight into their bonds with each other? That wasn't on accident. It wasn't like Hori "forgot" to show us. The LOV members didn't join up, form the LOV, and then say "Ah, you know what, all of us together is good enough. I like it just like this, we don't need anybody else." No, they joined up and said "Yo, this world rejected us and it fucking sucks, let's burn it down."

That to say--the LOV have each other to fall back on. They're ride or die, they make sacrifices for each other, look out for each other (very shounen protagonist of them)--all of them, with Dabi being kinda.....hit or miss in that aspect. Lol. But anyway--the LOV have each other, but they aren't.....happy....or thriving together, hiding away from society. If they were, they wouldn't be seeking to destroy and change the status quo and system altogether, so they can HAVE a place in society. If they were so happy just having each other, Toga wouldn't have gone after Ochacko in hopes of getting an answer that didn't completely shatter her heart.

If the LOV were of sound mind and in a healthy place to build each other up and get each other to a healthy place in life, they wouldn't be reaching out for a hero to help them, over and over and over again. Spinner wouldn't believe in "true" heroes the way he does. Toga wouldn't care so much about what Ochacko, Tsuyu, and Izuku think of people like her. Shigaraki wouldn't have said "Midoriya" deep at his core, in the worst state of his life. Shigaraki wouldn't feel so much pain from just the existence of a hero he doesn't know, and the idea of people remembering said hero's face. If he was in a place where his villain buddies could reach him, it certainly wouldn't be the state he's in now where he is feeling intense emotional turmoil over the fact that heroes just keep hurting him over and over and over again.

DABI wouldn't have severe tunnel vision and be so hyperfocused on taking down his dad. Shigaraki, a guy he followed for the entirety of his villain career is literally writhing in pain and screaming in front of him, very very obviously being used and taken advantage of by a higher power. It's so obvious to the rest of the LOV. Toga and Spinner are in the corner looking really freaked out by this very phenomenon, but Dabi is still just worried about moving forward with his agenda. That's not to say he doesn't care. But, the LOV are NOT IN A GOOD PLACE.

All of this to say--the LOV right now are not about to exhibit the power of friendship and look all happy to see each other. Why would they? What is there to be happy about? That their leader is all but been turned into a puppet? They're seeing him scream about the emotional pain some hero he doesn't even know causes him, JUST BY EXISTING. That cannot be easy to watch. Toga is scared, grieving, and heart broken. Spinner is scared, worried for his friend, and really perturbed about who it is he's following right now. And Dabi is focused on his dad, full stop.

So, no I don't think there was any let down with the LOV. The LOV members--specifically the trio--have their own arcs, and they're not about each other.

Do I think we'll see the LOV work together in full capacity toward the end to put an end to the final battle? Probably yes, hopefully. But like, idk how people expect their characters to be all buddy buddy when they are nowhere near in a position to act in such a way.

What I expect for the LOV is for them to somehow get separated again, because Toga and Ochacko have to meet. Touya, Shouto, and his dad have to meet. And Shigaraki and Deku have to meet. Idk how Spinner fits in, but probably with Stain or Spinner will meet up with Deku before Deku saves Shigaraki. But I didn't expect any heartfelt reunion to be shown on screen for the LOV. As soon as Shig appeared back in chapter 329 for the first time since the war arc, I knew that he was a goner, and I knew that the LOV was not in a good place and that they weren't going to be for a while.

So, I'm not bothered by what's going on. It's kind up the alley of what I expected.

Kalim x Jamil: Not Just Lust

So um... I made this but I’m not even sure what it is. So like enjoy or don’t lol!

Warnings: NSFW

Words: 2,223

   “Jamil? What are you doing here?” Kalim sat up in surprise and furrowed his brow in confusion. The brunet hesitated in the doorway before shutting and locking the door behind him. He walked over to the bedside and hesitated again. 

   This felt… wrong. Weird. Out of place. Quite a few things had felt that way since his overblot about a week ago. But, nothing felt like this. Those big crimson eyes staring up at him with concern and confusion instead of untamed excitement and lov-, no lust. Lust. Jamil repeated the word to himself like he did all the time hoping it would stick. It never did.

   “Jamil? Are you alright?” Jamil didn’t respond, instead he put his magic pen on the bedside table and carefully began to pull the elastic and feather accessory out of his hair. 

   “What are you doing?” Kalim sat up straighter on his bed and shifted into a kneeling position. His eyes widened when Jamil pulled his hoodie and tank top off all in one go, letting the discarded garments fall to the floor. 

   Distracted, the young air let his next question die on his lips, as his eyes traced the curves and dips on his ‘friend’s’ torso. Unconsciously his pupils dilated slightly and his breathing increased. However when he saw Jamil reach for the button of his pants, Kalim frowned again and held up a hand.

   “Wait.” Jamil looked up with an emotionless expression. Kalim shifted nervously and opened and closed his mouth a few times as he struggled to find the words he was searching for. 

   “Jamil, why are you undressing?” The brunet feigned surprise at this and watched as Kalim’s expression changed when he spoke.

   “It’s Friday night, Kalim. I always assist you in your pleasure during the weekend.” Kalim’s face slid into an expression of horror and realization. 

   Of course Jamil had thought they were only intimate for his sake. It made sense. It didn’t matter what Kalim asked of him, Jamil would be forced to participate and act like he enjoyed it. It never occurred to him that Jamil wouldn’t feel the same way about their relationship. And after all that happened during break, he wasn’t surprised to find that Jamil didn’t care about him like he cared about Jamil. Still, a small part of him had hoped that Jamil at least hadn’t hated their intimate sessions. 

   “Oh… Well we don’t have to do those things anymore…” 

   “Kalim. We may be equals, but it’s still my job to serve you.” Jamil’s voice was void of emotion as he crawled across the bed to reach the heir. Despite his lack of visible feelings he felt waves of pain crash through him at the idea of not being able to do this one thing.

   He had hated serving the Asim family. He still did and likely always would, but he never truly hated Kalim. The idiot annoyed him to no end, sure, But he had always been kind in a way that the other Asims weren’t. A kindness he had taken for granted. 

   He never meant to overblot or lose his cool. He had never meant to say all of that stuff to Kalim. Jamil didn’t hate Kalim. He hated that his life stuck him in a cage. It wasn’t Kalim’s fault though. Yet, he had taken out all of his frustrations and anger on him. And quite possibly lost him forever. It was clear that Kalim could never love him back, but at the very least, in the throes of pleasure, he could pretend. Pretend that the “I love you’s” were actually for him and not his body.

   “No.” Surprised, Jamil fell back on the bed when Kalim suddenly jumped out of it.

   “I refuse to participate in that kind of stuff with someone who doesn’t care about me. I thought… I thought that this was consensual. I thought it was…” He looked for the correct word. “Requited.”

   Jamil froze and stared at the white haired boy. Did he just say requited? As in, feelings requited. Was he delusional? Kalim could never care that way about the man who had lied to him, deceived him, and betrayed him. 

   “Kalim. When you say requited-” 

   “I LOVE YOU! And I thought that you loved me back, but you don’t! You’ve made it clear that you hate me, and now I know that you were only with me because you were serving me, not because you felt the same!” Kalim was out of breath and flushed with embarrassment. 

   “I’m sorry ok. I know that you’ll hate me more now, but-” Jamil cut him off by lunging forwards and kissing him. Kalim immediately sank into the kiss on instinct, allowing Jamil to put an arm around his waist and wind his other hand into Kalim’s hair. 

   Jamil had never initiated anything between them before, thinking it was just him serving his master. Because of this he had never taken any lead. As a servant it was his job to be beneath his master. Not the other way around. This time, however, the brunet quickly overpowered Kalim and took the lead. The two teens pulled away for air and Kalim’s confused eyes searched Jamil’s. 

   “Never hated you.” He said between kisses. “Love you”. Kalim gasped in surprise at those words and Jamil swallowed his lips again, slipping his tongue into the younger’s mouth. 

   Kalim felt his control slipping and decided that if they had to talk it could be done later. For now he pulled himself closer to Jamil and eagerly responded to every kiss. 

   Breathlessly, Jamil lowered his lips to the sensitive skin on Kalim’s neck. He had never allowed himself to mark up that beautiful skin before, but now he couldn’t help but smirk at the thought of a few purple bruises decorating the tan skin. 

   They were equals now. Jamil could be in charge. He could take the lead. It was all he had ever wanted. Now he wanted one more thing though. To make Kalim his. To make the heir that had depended on him for so long, moan his name, cling to his body, respond to Jamil’s touch and his touch alone. He wanted to do so much with Kalim that it threatened to spill out of his eyes in tears. The need to have sex was nearly overpowered by the need to simply hold Kalim close and whisper “I love you” into his coconut scented hair. 

   Later, he told himself. Right now he would show Kalim that he loved him. He needed to show himself that he could be allowed to love him. The fear that his love would crumble away in his arms pushed at the edges of his mind. Then as if by magic it was chased away when Kalim threw his arms around him and pulled him closer.

   “Jamil… hah, ngh… lov-love you too.” 

   Jamil left Kalim’s neck and kissed him on the mouth again. The kiss was slower and gentle, yet passionate and pleased. It was a silent way to speak. They let their lips explain their emotions and held each other tightly as they felt their walls come down. 

   It soon turned into a more fierce kiss as Jamil tugged Kalim flush against him and began to slip his fingers underneath his nightshirt. The smaller teen gasped when he felt cool fingertips skim the edges of his hips. Jamil partially opened his eyes to watch Kalim flush and moan when he smoothed a hand over his torso and up to his chest. 

   They pulled away for a moment, staring at each other with intensity like they never had before. Then as if on a silent command, Jamil quickly stripped Kalim of his top and the younger turned, falling back onto the bed. He scooted backwards and watched Jamil as he crawled over and on top of him.

   Kalim smiled softly and pulled Jamil into another heated kiss. It didn’t last long though as the brunet pulled away to inch his lips down and latch onto Kalim’s neck. He stared up through dark lashes at the boy who was slowly becoming messier with everything he did.

   Rolling a perky nipple between his forefinger and thumb, Jamil pulled up to watch as Kalim cried out and arched his back. Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes and moans echoed from behind red, bitten lips.

   It was a sight Jamil engraved into his mind and promised himself he would see again. It ignited something hot deep within him and he felt himself stiffen and rise. He let out a shaky breath and pressed his hips down against Kalim’s. The white haired boy beneath him immediately bucked upwards in response, adding delicious friction between them. 

   Still it wasn’t enough as Jamil scooted back to give himself room to pull down the night pants his new lover wore. He quickly slipped out of his own constricting clothing and watched as Kalim’s eyes widened with lust and amazement as they usually did when Jamil first revealed his manhood. 

   Reaching for the lube, the brunet pressed a quick kiss to Kalim’s lips. 

   “Jamil. I-I want…” Jamil looked down at the teen and raised an eyebrow. “I want you in me this time.” Kalim finally gasped out in embarrassment.

   Jamil froze in shock. He had been taking the lead, but Kalim always topped. It was just part of the system. He stopped and thought about it for a moment, taking note of how Kalim never was very good at leading these late night sessions. And now that he was free, technically it was perfectly ok for him to be the top.

   Besides, Kalim split open on his cock, pretty hole clenching around him, crying out, begging for more filled Jamil with an intense desire that he didn’t know he had. 

   Licking his lips, Jamil poured a generous amount of lube onto his fingers and rubbed his hands together to warm the slippery fluid. He hesitated before prompting Kalim to spread his legs, giving him a perfect view of his tight hole. 

   Slipping his fingers down, Viper ran a finger around the rim before leaning over and kissing Kalim deeply. The smaller teen moaned into the kiss as he felt a finger breach his entrance and rub delightfully against his walls. 

   Jamil licked greedily at Kalims mouth and pushed another finger in. 

   He swallowed every noise Kalim made as he pumped his fingers in and out of his hole. Soon there was space for another and he slipped it in beside the first two, relishing the jerk that came from the teen beneath him. 

   “Jami- J-jamil, I- I’m… MMngh, more-” Kalim broke the kiss and let out a pleading gasp. 

   “Are you sure Kalim? We’ve never done this before. Maybe we should wait-”

   “NO! I need it now!” The white haired boy desperately humped up into Jamil’s waist and shifted downwards in need. “Please, please, please, Jami. Fill me please. I need you. Need it so baaANGH!” 

   His begging was cut off by a sharp cry as Jamil gave in to his desires and filled him in one powerful thrust. 

   The brunet shook with the amount of effort it was taking not to just jackhammer that pretty hole. Instead he waited and watched in amazement and hunger as Kalim sprayed cum all over himself. 

   Kalim’s orgasm was silent and intense in a way it never had been before. His body went limp as he rode through his pleasure and he let out a breathy moan. 

   Jamil’s pupils blew wide as they examined his former master, completely wrecked, painted in his own spend, spread out, limp beneath him. The desire to claim, overpower, to dominate shot through him and he softly whispered Kalim’s name. 

   Those beautiful crimson eyes fluttered semi-open and locked with hungry silver ones. 

   “Gorgeous.” Mine

   “I’m sorry.” was all Jamil could say as he felt the last of his control slip through his fingers. His hands found Kalim’s legs and forced them wide, so he could ram into the beautiful body displayed before him.

   Kalim cried out and moaned when he felt Jamil start to pound into him. Overstimulation crept into his mind and fought with his exhaustion as pure arousal eventually claimed the stage. Coherent thought was lost as Jamil hit his spot every time he thrust inwards. 

   Jamil felt the heat low in his belly twist a few more times and knew that his climax was quickly approaching. 

   “Kalim.” There was no response from the boy, only the same noises of pleasure greeted Jamil’s call. 

   He grunted and slammed his hips against Kalim’s a few more times before he grasped the younger teens chin and directed him into a particularly sloppy kiss. His hips stuttered when he felt himself release and intense ecstasy flowed through him. 

   Distantly he registered Kalim cumming again, and crying out something that sounded suspiciously close to “Jamil”. 

   The brunet flopped down next to his partner and laid against him as they sank out of their highs. Eventually he turned and used one of the pillows to wipe access drool and spend from Kalim’s face. The white haired boy smiled loopily and pressed his face into Jamil’s chest.

   They would talk later. For now all that was required of them was to lay peacefully in each other's arms.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE TO SAY I THINK THATS ALL ABOUT MYSELF😭 HAVE A NICE DAY!

hii! ah, this is quite hard to pinpoint, bc I see you being friends with everyone in the league(i think i’ll add that to the hc), but i kinda have a hunch who your bestie would be…

I match you with your MHA best friend …

Toga Himiko!

Hc:

- I’m just going to say that she knew from the beginning you will be her bestie for life (accentuate the words FOR LIFE)

- You two really clicked in an instant, which kinda annoyed the other members of the league ( “Since when became the League a kindergarten?” yes, Dabi, thank you for your sarcasm)

- On mission, around the hideout, or simply going out to steal shop some clothes, the two of you are always together, basically joined to the hip at this point.

- You have weekly sleepovers, that in time became daily. You start by doing eachother’s hair (Toga especially loves your red locks, she thinks they are so beautiful and she is right), then painting your nails and bitching about literally anyone.

- Expect a lot of praise from her, you know how she is with people she loves!

- She likes that you are someone that understands her and you always have her back with your upbeat and funny personality. Really, she couldn’t even dream of a better friend!

- The others of the league were pretty worried about you two, since you took the expression: “partners in crime” to literally. The most suspicious were Shigaraki and Dabi.

- Really, what did a sunshine ball like yourself did there with them? At first you seemed so chatty and talkative, basically glowing in anyone’s presence.

- It was also weird, since you had mixed views over a lot of things, really! Shigaraki heard you saying that you like cats, but during a mission you got so scared by one of them. Man was kinda shocked and that says a lot.

- I’m not even starting on Dabi, you know how he is…

- Anyway, all the suspicions vanished into thin air when you started to quote from Dostoevsky during one of your weekly hangouts with Toga.

- Dabi was so impressed, he couldn’t articulate any words (and yes he knew what you were talking about, Endeavour made him read the book when he was 10). Shigaraki however thought that Fyodor Dostoevsky was an anime character (mind his poor soul).

- After that, they started to see how intelligent you are and how your opinions and ideas helped them in their plans so much. (Tbh you saved their asses a lot of times)

- Now they’re all your friends. Deal with it, you have like 6 criminals that are whipped after your bright, kind and smart aura. 😌

- Also expect random sweets from all of them after missions. They started to stock them up in a cupboard and just give you one daily, for existing in their lives.
