#that sometimes i want to scream

[durzarya]

I want to hear about your Hero Academia trash collection story.

Ohh boy for some context: that entire fix it au was inspired by my city's incredibly stupid new trash collection system

Meaning that the provided trash cans got incredibly small and the fees more than doubled (among other things).

Which is how this was born

Anyways

It starts the same as the show but everyone is a year younger so Izuku has some time with OFA and doesn't have to rush to UA

For some reason All Might has to leave for a time and Izuku is left alone to train after cleaning up the beach

And on one of his morning runs he stumbles upon a man who tries to leave a fridge on the now clean beach

There is no malice in his decision. But renting a truck to bring the fridge to an actual dump site is not cheap. And depositing said fridge also takes money

He doesn't have the money

So it's much easier to drag the fridge two blocks and dump it. Everyone else is doing it? What's one more piece of trash on that mountain

What actually happens is that Izuku carries the fridge to the deposit site he and All Might have gone several times and pays the deposit fee with his own pocket money

He also successfully befriends the whole neighborhood and through vigorous research and selling a lot of stuff to pawn shops he manages to make the place semi clean

This is unfortunately unsustainable

Pawning things and hard work can take you a little farther, but sometimes people are too poor to take out the trash

Enter Shigaraki Tomura

I don't know exactly how but Izuku manages to befriend him

Maybe they stumble into each other while Izuku is running shop to shop looking for some kind of deal, maybe they argue on some obscure forum about All Might, maybe Shigaraki notices that a lot of petty criminals just straight up disappear in one part of the city because some kid needs some people to help his clean up method and he is working with what he can

The point is that they are friends

It's a pretty new thing for both of them

And when Izuku sees Tomura accidentally disintegrate something his first reaction is not mindless terror

Instead he thinks: that could be useful

This is how Shigaraki Tomura, AFOs successor and Midoriya Izuku OFAs ninth user end up collecting and destroying trash without knowing anything about the other's legacy.

And Tomura gets to see Izuku, someone who wants to be a hero, going around helping people left and right. It wouldn't matter. It shouldn't matter, not to him

But

But Izuku holds out his hand to street kids full of dirt and grime. Who look more like a nightmare than human beings

He can ignore everything else but he cannot ignore that. Not when his younger face is staring back at him and practically screaming: This one is actually a hero

He is also technically a villain. No hero work for him thank you very much. Dusting trash is an illegal use of his quirk nothing else (the fact that most heroes wouldn't even consider that a work of a vigilante is conveniently ignored)

He also doesn't really want to get AFOs attention on this but screwing with the system is always great and thanks to those video games he genuinely loves exploiting anything he can

This is how Shigaraki Tomura dumps his evil plan of upsetting the status and quo lands on the table of the small community he has been terrorizing (helping) (here are some back doors in the law on how to make the government actually take care of the garbage)

Things escalate and...

There is no vigilante emerging from the pits of Mustafa

All Might’s protegee doesn’t fight crime and All for One’s doesn’t plan for a Leauge to break society

There is however a new trash collecting regulation that forces the officials to keep the trash prices affrodable for everyone

And villainy is getting lower as it is implemented

--

Anyway that's the short explanation of my trash au. There are more parts one with Bakugou accidentally tutoring a bunch of social outcasts

one with Ochako, Shinso and Iida accidentally making a support network for financially struggling villains which makes Tensei gradually shift from capture hero to rehabilitation

and one with Dabi off all people becoming a semi legal emergency foster parent and helps Hawks out of his gilded cage

-

(Also there is a scene that lives rent free in my head that after either a disaster or a big destructive fight, Stain trying to get his philosophy by preaching to the masses and someone just chunking a shovel and telling him to get to fucking work and help people)

I imagine their banter and bickering in the process of killing someone would deal greater psychological damage than the torturing itself

I wonder how goddamn hot it must be inside AM. Y'know? That's a computer they're inside. Knowing my own laptop, they must be boiling! Pains me to even think about the state of the rest of the world, not that there's anything left to inhabit it.

Can you imagine burying your hands through the sharp rocks and gravel, feeling past the frequently disturbed soil, down to the metal casing below? Your hands start to feel warmer and warmer the deeper they dig, until you're shocked by a sudden burning sensation on your fingertips.

You'd be warm the whole time, no matter where you stood. It's a wonder how there's even ice still on the planet-- if it's even real. If you left your hands on the metal shell, you'd feel the burn first. As the nerves in your palms slowly died yet again, the flesh sizzling, you'd begin to feel the vibrations of the machinery inside.

Millions and millions of miles of raw technological power, and you at the heart of it. Lay your cheek on the steel. Press yourself against it. Feel the stinging pain. Tomorrow, you'd feel it again. Then the next day, you'd feel it again. Then again, and again, until one day you'd have nothing left to burn for the Mastercomputer's sick enjoyment. It burns, no less than real love ever would.

I just remembered that up until 5th grade, all of the sports teams I was in weren't separated by gender. I played basketball and baseball with boys. And we did just fine.

It wasn't until 6th grade when they segregated it by gender. It didn't make sense to me. I was now in softball instead of baseball, because "softball is for girls" and "baseball is for boys" (which confused me bc my dad was on an adult softball team).

Now, my brother's all-male team didn't win a single game. My all-girls team won every single one.

They presented the boys' team with this HUGE trophy, and if you wanted replicas of it, they were $30 each.

My team was presented with a very small trophy. Extras were $5.

That's when I decided gender-segregated sports were bullshit.

Home is where I want to be, but I guess I'm already there

I come home, she lifted up her wings. I guess that this must be the place

I can't tell one from another—Did I find you, or you find me?

There was a time before we were born

If someone asks, this where I'll be

Where I'll be

cass cain is so emotive and I hate that so many of yall fall straight into the stoic asian woman stereotype thing because like, the only reason cass wouldn't vocalize a feeling is when she would struggle to find the word for it because she literally wasn't taught how to speak. that's so fucking upsetting. She has such big beautiful emotions, she feels so deeply about the littlest things but everytime she has trouble putting it into words she's reminded that she was conceived not to. her abuser did not have her feelings or her pain in mind, only how well she could end a life. can you fucking imagine

[peachdoxie]

I'm constantly walking a fine mental line between being sympathetic to people raised in systems that taught them to be selfish and prioritize their in-group over others because I understand it's not their fault how they were raised, and being fucking pissed that as adults they just don't get why being nice to others is a good thing.

Your post breaking down Red Bull's inconsistent narrative having thousands of upvotes on reddit and thousands of likes on twitter and then @/Romanianf1 on insta also posted it 💀 I said mother but I also said damn the state of f1 journalism is so sorry, we have to do their work for them

I'm so glad you've mothered for us once again but this whole thing made me forget the tumblr not showing follower counts lulls me into a false sense of security about the size of this community because some of y'all be playing with the big dawgs on here 🤼🏾‍♀️🔥
