Ahhhh-- look at my new wallpaper by Renpaichoo 😭💕

I've been wanting a nice Ojiro background for ages and this is so cute. Look at his lil curly tail 🥺

Ren was a great artist to work with! I definitely recommend commissioning them if you get chance.

Forever wishing 😭

OH... Oh my.

[makethiscanon]

On the one hand, omg Shoji and Koda you precious babies my heart breaks for them. Excellent fleshing out of the manga in the latest episode.

On the other hand, that probably puts Ojiro with Sato as the least developed characters in Class 1A, and that makes me wanna sob.

[makethiscanon]

It definitely doesn't hurt to try 👀

Do you think if enough of us suggest Ojiro in the little "suggestions" thing for funko pops that it might increase the odds of him getting one? Idk, but I'm trying it anways-

(I just want a little Tailman)

[makethiscanon]

Am I having a meltdown that My Hero Academia is coming to a close and the fandom's gonna slowly trickle out like many before it? Very much so, yes.

[makethiscanon]

No. No, I could not resist when @lalenrasch opened a cute and snuggly YCH.

I need more Pro Hero Design!Ojiro in my life.

He's such a precious bean and I love him.

[makethiscanon]

All these My Hero Academia funko pops and STILL no Ojiro. There's even Shishido now, Fatgum in a blue jacket, and yet another variation of Deku. But no. No tailman.

I'm ready to riot.

My favourite frame is this one, js.

Tailbean looks like a kitty mid pounce.

spent like 7 hours animating ojiro flipping out for some reason

[makethiscanon]

Morning cuddles with Ojiro after he gets back from his 6AM run. He crawls into bed behind you, giving you his tail so you can spoon it, then he spoons you.

A snuggly sandwich of affection to start your day off right.

[makethiscanon]

Tailman, I--

I am DECEASED.

💛

Did... did the animators finally decide they like my tailbean?

THANK YOU.

[makethiscanon]

MY TAILBABY CAME HOME!

And 3 days before his birthday. Well that's definitely me listening to his voice lines on repeat, especially those sleepy evening/night ones 🥺💛

[makethiscanon]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OJIRO!

Warning: Swearing in song lyrics.

Song: Dark Days - Point North

I've never seen a full length Ojiro AMV so for his birthday I had to change that.

WE LOVE OUR TOUGH, RESILIENT L'IL TAILBEAN.

Just curious, but what is your favorite Ojiro ship?

Personally, mine is OjiToru (Ojiro x Hagakure).

Hmm. Good question. I don't think I have a particular favourite. I'm a multishipper, so I enjoy seeing him with different characters for different reasons.

(These are in no particular order):

Ojiro x Hagakure

Arguably the closest thing to a canon relationship in MHA, it's clear they have a strong bond and are close enough to share their worries with each other. Wholesome and supportive, plus Ojiro nearly lost his mind when he thought Hagakure kissed him during that one mission, and she ran straight into his arms when she was upset after discovering the UA traitor; they're adorable.

Ojiro x Kaminari

I absolutely adore Kaminari's tail fluff obsession. Ojiro is so unbothered in every panel where Kaminari is playing with his tail, so he must do it all the time. Plus, there's that cute panel at the hot springs where Kaminari's splashing Ojiro in the water. Ojiro is the chill boyf' to Kaminari's silly.

Ojiro x Shinsou

I love a good enemies to lovers. Saying that, I also love that Ojiro doesn't have the capacity to hold a grudge and immediately welcomes Shinsou to the heroes course once he's finally moved across. It's a ship where I see Shinsou having lots of guilt/insecurity and needing reassurance that he's forgiven, with Ojiro being the endlessly reassuring boyfriend, happy to squash any of Shinsou's issues immediately.

Honestly, I would love to see Ojiro with anyone. He gets so much shtick, when in reality he would make an excellent down-to-earth partner.

Thank you for the ask! ❤️

[Extra: Waffling about an OC ship under the cut]

Ojiro x Mahoro

I also once made an OC specifically to pair with Ojiro, called Mahoro Mimi.

Ojiro usually doesn't like being seen as ordinary, so Mahoro was made to be the opposite. She's a girl with a transformation quirk that turns her into a terrifying, demonic monster when she gets too emotional.

It's a pairing that focuses on each wanting what the other has; a way to stand out, and a way to blend in.

I really enjoy this pairing too, because it focuses on Ojiro learning to accept and love who he is, as well as helping someone else love themselves as they are.

GIVE THE TAILBEAN SOMEONE TO LOVE, HORIKOSHI, COME ON.

Yes we do, yes we do. 👀

I love the way @jbwashere draws Ojiro, so you bet I jumped at the chance to get a commission. Much love for this adorable, wholesome piece.

What I wouldn't give for a cuddle from the Tailbean.

[makethiscanon]

I just want you to know, that when I was watching that one ep of season 7 where everyone is in the dorm commons, I immediately thought of this blog when I saw ripped Ojiro. I was like "oh that Ojiro enthusiast on Tumblr is gonna have a field day with this!" I mean this fondly, love what you do for our underrated best boy here

Pfffft, I have no idea what you mean, I was so totally normal about that scene--

NO BUT LOOK AT HIS ARMS, PLEASE. AND HIS EVERYTHING ELSE. I JUST--

Seriously, Hori announced Ojiro was canonically buff in the 2016 New Years sketch. I have been on my knees waiting for him to draw it into the series ever since.

But ha, honestly that makes me so happy that I popped into your head when Ojiro was on screen. The tailbean is forever running rampant in my brain.

I'm glad you think my tailman waffling is entertaining! I might be a slow as heck writer, but I try my best on his birthday, at least~
