How Pro-Heroes would react to y/n getting attacked by a villain and ending up in the hospital

✦Includes: Midnight, Eraserhead, All Might, Ms. Joke✦

A/N: sfw!! requests are open if your fav isn't here! I'll write for anyone~★

Midnight

Midnight is incredibly good at hiding her emotions, I believe. Shes used to wearing a mask 24/7 in her hero role, so when she finds out you'd been hospitalized by a villain, she puts on a mask of levelheadedness. She would feel guilty if you had to comfort her after you'd just been traumatized.

Course, you aren't used to this side of her, so you assume she doesn't care. You end up breaking down and asking if she even cares.

"Of course I care, love, did I make it seem like I didn't?" "I'm so sorry baby, I just didn't want to stress you more."

After that, things smooth out. If you don't mind the eventual scar, she'll make it into a joke and flirt about it. "Y'know, I always thought scars were attractive~" and similar things.

If you don't like the idea of a scar, she offers comfort, and a way to hide it until you're more comfortable. "If you want, I can help you hide it and minimize it."

Shes very affectionate the entire time, she doesn't leave the hospital until you basically force her to go check on your cat and get some actual sleep.

Secretly blames herself for not being able to protect you.

After you get out of the hospital she doesn't treat you like glass, persay, but she does NOT let you do anything against your doctor's orders.

She also helps you sign up for therapy and reminds you that whatever happened wasn't your fault. (Hypocrite much?)

Kisses you and reassures you 24/7

It takes a bit for her to stop blaming herself, but you work together:)

Eraserhead

Most emotional man I know of. "logical" my ass.

Aizawa is immediately at your side. Like he will run across rooftops to get to you. He has NO chill. Part of me believes he gets to the hospital at the same time as you.

Clingiest motherfucker alive. Every ten minutes in the waiting room it's "Can I go in yet?" To the nurses. He doesn't sit down once.

Once he gets to you literally nothing is capable of getting him away from you.

He comforts you whenever you need it, deep down he knows there was nothing he really could've done to get there sooner. He's completely and totally focused on you.

When your other friends get the clear to see you, Joke takes pictures of you and him sleeping in the most awkward position

Brings your favorite blankets and foods

Makes you a playlist of classical music to help you sleep

Anything you need, bro is on it immediately

Once you're released he refuses to let you do anything strenuous. He opens the car door for you, helps you get buckled, etc etc.

He does take the hint when you ask to shower alone, and backs off a bit after that.

He offers to ask Recovery Girl to heal you, and brings you painkillers when you need them.

He understands your paranoia after the incident and helps you learn basic ways to keep yourself safe.

All Might

Would get to the hospital as soon as he could, but knows that you'd want him to stay and finish any responsibilities.

If he's in the middle of something, he finishes it as fast as he can and then gets to the hospital.

He gets there just as you're being taken to a room

Instantly asking if you're okay, if you need anything. The second you say you need something he's on it.

Also a clingy motherfucker

But he knows how to distract you from whatever hurts with dumb jokes and pictures of his student's progress.

Knows how to fill dead air basically. Doesn't really ask about the villain unless you bring it up, just to make sure he doesn't potentially trigger anything.

Listens empathetically when you tell him about what happened.

Offers to get you food, but you're both indecisive so it's just a back and forth of:

"what do you want to eat?"

"idk, I'm good with whatever, what do you want"

"you're the one in the hospital bed, what do you want?"

"you have to go get it, so-"

"fine, (food you hate) it is."

"..."

Won't treat you like glass, he knows what it's like and fuckin hated it.

Still offers to help you though, he just doesn't want to suffocate you

Takes you on drives across the coast to get a break from the city

Ms. Joke

Tries to act like she wasn't worried and knew you'd be fine the whole time

She didnt

She had to call Midnight to calm her down

Makes jokes about you "being apart of the club now" (having been attacked by villains) and then apologizes for what happened

Brings you treats and things to make you smile (comfort items, silly things she saw at the store, etc)

Has Nemuri smuggle your guy's tiny dog in and out like twice

Sits in silence and watches you sleep

Brings you headphones to drown out the annoying beeping

A little over protective afterwards

Clingy, but not Shouta clingy.

"you should go home"

"why, is something wrong?"

"you haven't left the hospital in a week, you clown."

"oh yeah. Oops!"

"..."

"ok ok I'm going!"

Showers, but also washes the exact same clothes and rewears them just to fuck with you "you didn't say I had to change"

"tell me you washed those, em, or you're on the couch and the dog gets your pillows."

"Of course I did!"

One of Shadow Milk’s many prop replicas of himself, left behind. Even though the eyes are forever staring straight into the distance… Oddly enough, you still feel like you’re being watched.

But surely, though, it won’t hurt to take it home and touch up the colours, right? :)

"That wrath ghost... He was newly formed, very young. He was already on the brink of dissipating completely when he arrived, yet for some reason he held on and drifted here "

Although he didn't know why, Xie Lian's heart started racing. "Almost dissipated? Why?"

"He had suffered grievous injuries," the state preceptor replied. "His soul was almost fully dispersed, and hardly any conscious mind remained to him. But still he floated along, repeating again and again that he wouldn't leave, he wouldn't leave- probably because his wish hadn't been fulfilled."

Writing a SoC/SaB fanfic where Wylan is the sun summoner.

The first time the light is revealed (and nobody knows it's Wylan) he overhears his dad going basically "we will find the sun summoner and sell him to the highest bidder" n wylan goes "would he do that to *me*? Yes, duh, ofc he would."

Then somehow I gotta shoehorn in the obligatory wesper kidnapper/kidnappee to lovers plotline cuz yk "Jan van eck is paying v handsomely for ur return" "ffs just shoot me now dammit"

And bonus points, I get to make Wylan Van sunshine jokes as often as I want

[theweeklydiscourse]

I just have to laugh at readers who claim that the Darkling was Zoya’s abuser. The text and the Netflix adaptation does the barest possible minimum to allude to such an idea and then these fans proceed to reframe the shoddy writing and praise for it’s “brilliant” commentary.

Bardugo and the Netflix writers could’ve done that (with proper planning and thoughtfulness) but it’s obvious that they couldn’t be bothered to put the effort in. Sorry- Zoya’s just not all that interesting and cramming in some subtext about how she was supposedly the Darkling’s victim is pure fanfiction. Particularly when even in the show, we see Zoya pursuing him of her own volition and that relationship is never meaningfully explored or elaborated on after the fact.

"Aw Yeh. Dis is happenin'!"

Pose practice. And playing about with some new brushes I bought.

Shadow Generations inspired me to make more forms for my other ultimate lifeform, Shred the Dragon.

As Experiment B, aka Project: Beast. Shred was a backup incase Shadow didn't survive creation and vise versa. But she was made differently if alternative routes in creation could result in Maria's cure. Part of which was the multitude of animal dna traits in Shred's genetic code, adding Wisp dna to stabilize it, and of course like Shadow is mainly black arms.

Shred's wisp side is what gives her the bright magenta color of her skin. In Shadow Generations, she like him would gain new abilities focusing on her black arm trait. Shred usually forsakes her black arm heritage, not wanting to be compared with monsters. But over the course of this adventure she comes to terms with using her black arm powers for good, instead of their intended evil. In these new forms, her black arm side is enhanced. Overcoming her wisp side, her colors darken and fade to near black.

The black arm forms Shred gets focus on her individual traits. As the ultimate beast, who could track and hunt down anyone or anything. In her basic form she's a fast runner, skilled flyer, great swimmer, and is incredibly strong. But her new forms center on a single one of those, temporarily sacrificing her quantity of skills for quality. In any of them though she still has her fire breath. All forms make her larger then she usually is.

Shred's Black Arm Forms:

Black Berserker, muscular form.

Black Sprinter, quadruped running form.

Black Skimmer, no legged, all finned form.

and Black Wyvern, form focused for flying.

The Black Sprinter brings all of her speed to the surface. While Shred is grounded in this form, the swiftness of it more then makes up for it. Shred may as well rival, even perhaps surpass Sonic in speed as the Black Sprinter. The gaps in her sides are booster exhausts to increase her speed. Allowing her to harness her fire to go even faster. Shred's retractable claws also let her gain traction, and the spikes help with maneuvering.

Something something Jimmy's curse grows stronger each season something something it targets those closest to him as well and usually brings them down with him after he's out something something I wanna see what happens when he doesn't make an alliance for a whole season cause the canary doesn't have to sing if there's no one around to warn

Yesterday night i watched this video essay about SA2's plot (specifically Shadow's role in it) and it was so good that i got. Genuinely upset about how the Adventure era became such a joke in the 2010s. Like, upset enough to spew paragraphs about it to a friend.

How were we, as a people, convinced that SA1 and SA2 were a mistake? How did we decide that multiple playstyles, complex themes, spoken dialogue and even 3D GAMEPLAY were the issues? How did we believe it so hard that even Sonic Team seemed to believe it?

I'm so sad that it went on for years. I'm so sad that we're still feeling its effects—from humans and G.U.N. being in off-screen limbo, to people looking at this Dragon Ball Mickey Mouse shit and only seeing the Mickey Mouse. (It's both!! It was meant to be both from the start!! It's when one overtakes the other that it stops feeling like Sonic!!)

Anyway I guess Sega heard my ramblings last night cus boom. "Shadow is cool and looking to him for inspiration is cool too. Also it's his year and we made his motorcycle real."

And the response?? On here and Twitter, people are talking about how they relate to Shadow and the kid in the video!! Yeah, there's still other people making fun of it, or are just confused by it... but they're being drowned out by the sincere stuff. That's so fucking wonderful.

Shadow enthusiasts: enjoy your year. You've more than earned it.

TL;DR: this shit dropped just in time to stop my supervillain arc 💙

Assigning bnha characters Hozier songs pt 1

In which I, your host, shadow, shuffle Hozier music and assign bnha characters to the songs. Songs in this edition: Francesca, Work Song, and From Eden. Characters included are: Eraserhead, Dabi, Compress, Izuku Midoriya, Ms. Joke, Toga Himiko, and Tomura Shigaraki.

Wave dividers by the wonderful @cafekitsune!

Francesca

Do you think I'd give up // That this might've shook the love from me // Or that I was on the brink? // How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily? // Now that it's done // There's not one thing that I would change // My life was a storm, since I was born // How could I fear any hurricane?

If someone asked me at the end

I'll tell them put me back in it // Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah // If I could hold you for a minute // Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah // I would still be surprised I could find you, darling // In any life // If I could hold you for a minute // Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah

Eraserhead for sure, this one's tricky because it fits a lot of the heroes since they're such devoted people. I think villain wise this is definitely either Dabi or Compress. They're very headstrong, I think that no matter what if they fell for someone, they fall for life. Through hell or high water, yk?

Boys, workin' on empty // Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat? // I just think about my baby // I'm so full of love I could barely eat // There's nothing sweeter than my baby // I'd never want once from the cherry tree // 'Cause my baby's sweet as can be // She give me toothaches just from kissin' me

Work song

When my time comes around // Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth // No grave can hold my body down // I'll crawl home to her

Boys, when my baby found me // I was three days on a drunken sin // I woke with her walls around me // Nothin' in her room but an empty crib // And I was burnin' up a fever // I didn't care much how long I lived // But I swear I thought I dreamed her // She never asked me once about the wrong I did

Izuku. This song is so Izuku. This is also very Ms. Joke. Villain wise I'm thinking Toga. Especially the bit about (whoever) loving with no condition and with no care as to their love's past. All three of them haven't had it particularly easy (shhhhhh I'm headcanonning my wife Emi leave me alone) and I think it'd make them very devoted people. Especially in love. It's canon for toga, and borderline canon for Izuku.

Babe // There's something tragic about you // Something so magic about you // Don't you agree? // Babe // There's something lonesome about you // Something so wholesome about you // Get closer to me // No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony // No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me // Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago // Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword // Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know // I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

From eden

Honestly I'm thinking Shigaraki. This song is about idolizing someone from a distance, and I can see Shigaraki definitely idolizing or even following the object of his affection just because they were kind to him or something. This is *his* song for sure. Maybe I'll write a stalkerish!shigaraki fic in the future if the people want it 👀

[casual-praxis]

Still thinking about the mirror confrontation scene. Vio got really lucky that Shadow has major theater kid energy or else he may have just gotten killed outright instead of..whatever it was that ended up happening. (An attempt at being burned alive? Melted alive? Sacrificed?? What was the vibe here; witch trial?)

Better than getting held down and gutted I suppose.

[daincrediblegg]

Honestly it's really kind of funny and important and fitting that Folie a Deux is a critical flop because it really proves the point that franchise fans are not the cash cow that the studios can really bank on for permanent and never-ending media profit because 1) they are not intellectual to put it mildly, and they make the rest of the media landscape look like shit for the rest of us because they keep putting their money into the exact thing that they're destined to hate eventually because none of the creatives involved in these things really want to fucking do this, and 2) that originality and nuance cannot exist in franchise films and when you introduce anything of the sort to a property that people have specific franchise expectations for it will not go well even if it puts a mirror to the fans and says "hey. this is you. yta. and you did NOT understand the first time because you're so entrenched in franchise films you won't even be able to conceive of anything else that goes off those rails even though it is perfectly within reason for the canon we established the first time" but if you give these babies even a LITTLE taste of their own medicine they'll throw a tantrum

Sonic and the Black Knight save me. Save me SATBK

a mutual of mine on twitter/bluesky draws 97 Magneto with black fingernails so of course I think EVERY Magneto should have black fingernails. Charles reunites with him after X many years and goes 👀

Black-fingernails-magneto does line up well with my crack metal-band-frontman-magneto daydreaming……
