thinking abt cowboy!reader now after that fic. i imagine him just being all nice and offering to do stuff without being asked and people constantly thinking he's flirting or something of the sorts and he's just like ???? what. im just treatin you right? and then i imagine he is a very horrible/reckless driver ESPECIALLY when they're running down an unsub.

Warnings: minor car accident (no one gets hurt), unsub is not a nice man, mentions of killings (super brief)

A/N: So I got this not too long ago and the words just kind flew out lmao. Also not me tempted to do a series of this because I'm falling in love with his personality aha *cries* ((I feel like the team need to meet this man's parents))

"Allow me," You gave them a smile as you jogged passed Emily and JJ, tilting your head as they walked past. You caught up with them, making sure to get the door ahead of them as well.

You watch as they both sit down, massaging their temples - presumably from stress. Without a second thought, you headed into the breakroom.

"I thought you ladies could use a drink," You give them a smile as you placed a coffee in front of each of them.

"And what about us?" Morgan asked, Spencer crossing his arms next to Derek as they both stared at you.

"If y'all wanted one, you could have asked," You smirked before you made your way back to the break room, emerging with another two cups. "I'm just toying with y'all, I couldn't carry all at once,"

You stood up when JJ and Emily walked into the room, taking your hat off for a moment in greeting. When they reached their seats, you drew the chair out for them.

"Are you flirting?" Emily asked.

You furrowed your eyebrows, reaching up and removing your hat, "What makes y'all think I'm flirting?"

"You're always offering to do things, always holding the doors open, you always bring us coffee-"

"Mama didn't raise a man who overlooks the feelings of a woman-"

"And you say stuff like that-"

Concern flicked across your face, "Am I making y'all uncomfortable?" If they didn't know any better, they would have thought you were nervous, "Because that was never my intent-"

"No, no, not at all," JJ is quick to reassure, "We just wanted to make sure that you weren't flirting,"

"I'm just treatin' y'all right," You reply, "I can tone back if y'all want,"

"That's okay, we just wanted to make sure it was friendly rather than-" Emily's cut off by JJ.

"Flirtatious."

"No, Ma'am," You respond. You made a mental note to try and limit the actions they had listed, not wanting them to feel uncomfortable.

You took a seat as the rest of the team filtered in, ready for a briefing of the case.

Fast forward a few days, the unsub was beginning to speed off down the street in his truck.

"(Y/N), you're driving," Hotch states.

"Hotch, I don't think it's smart to let (Y/N) here drive," Morgan said with a grin.

"Why not?"

"He's... not the best driver," Morgan laughed.

"I am wounded by your harsh words," You responded.

"We don't have time for this," Hotch presses, everyone into the car.

You slide into the car, driver's side. The moment the last door shut, you pressed the gas. "What the fuck?!" Spencer yelps.

"Morgan, I don't say this often, but you were right," Hotch says from the passenger seat.

You roll your eyes at the lot of them and continue to chase the unsub. Until you served (you didn't want to hit a pothole) and swerved into the unsub's car. Your eyes widened as you breaked quickly. You were the first out of the car, helping the unsub out and assessing him for injuries as Morgan clapped handcuffs on him.

"Sorry sir, I didn't actually mean to hit you with my car," You apologise, gripping your hat in your hands.

"Is he for real?" The unsub turned to Hotch in disbelief.

"Sir?"

"I killed seven people, what-"

"And I hit you with a car-"

"Why are you-?"

"What do you mean-?"

"Okay, I'm intervening because this is too painful to watch," Emily chimed, gently taking your shoulder and guiding you away from the unsub.

"I feel bad for hitting him with a car-"

"I know." Emily mumbled, sharing a look with JJ.

love your d/s aos fic vibes but i haaaate d*ddy k*nk so i was wondering if you'd do 'rough kiss' or 'kiss after a bite' + bucktommy? *please emoji*

AN ~ it would be my pleasure! honestly the d*ddy thing squicks me super hard too so i'm happy to contribute to the pool of kinky goodness that doesn't involve that particular part. however! and this won't be a surprise if you've enjoyed my aos smut lmao but i got sidetracked by snuggles so this fic actually ends up filling 'kiss to the top of the head' instead of those other two... but will it be a series? don't tempt me haha prompt list

Relationships: BuckTommy Content: Oral Sex, Established Relationship, Praise Kink, sub!Buck, Dom!Tommy

Read on AO3 (1300wd)

take me by the tongue (Rated E)

Buck had always had a bit of a thing for Strong Independent Women in the bedroom. Sure he'd enjoyed broadening the odd horizon and showing them things their shitty boyfriends never did and all that, and he wasn't immune to the fawning groupie type either, but there was something to be said for the ones who knew what they wanted, stated it, took it. Save a horse, ride a cowboy. It was one of his favourite shirts.

So, suffice to say, he was having a great time with Tommy. A great time. He loved to learn. He loved to please. And both of those things were going, again, great. There was a give and take, there was a learning curve, there was the way his heart grew a few sizes when he could get Tommy panting and calling his name in the throes of it all but there was also an... itch, he needed scratching.

A raised eyebrow.

“It would be, 'okay'?” Tommy pushed back.

“Yeah. You know. If you wanted. To treat me a little... rougher.”

The trouble with being the fit hot and yeah, highly sexual guy in those relationships, is that being good at it was kind of all that mattered. None of them had been long or intimate enough for him to get much practice actually verbalising the specifics of what he wanted; their bodies usually did the talking, and there wasn't this getting-to-know-each-other, please-don't-think-I'm-a-freak period. The freak was laid out right there on the table, take it or leave it. Swipe left or swipe right. Plus, if you wanted to get sad about it, Buck hadn't been in much of a place to speak up for himself back then. If anyone had wanted more from him than he was comfortable giving he probably would have given it anyway. He tried not to think about that part too much.

But Tommy – Tommy wanted to an a frankly frustrating degree to make sure he felt happy and respected and comfortable, and as much as he hated to admit it, that was still kind of new for Buck.

“Is that something you want, Evan?”

Tommy's eyes, rock-steady, scanned Buck's face for any signs of what he wasn't saying. He sidled closer with the slightest salacious whisper of a smile and Buck wondered if maybe his eyes were giving him away. Screaming what his throat wouldn't. Fuck me, bruise me, pull my hair. Pin me down. Make me beg. As if Tommy could see right through to the visions playing in his mind, he pulled their hips together with a rougher yank than usual, and pinched Buck's quivering chin between calloused fingers. Buck took a deep breath, and it stuck to his tongue, and Tommy gently, firmly refused to let him look away as he read him like a book.

“Don't be nervous, baby,” Tommy purred. “Tell me. How rough do you want it? Just a little shove-me-against-a-wall action? Or... how about I pull your hair while you suck me off and I don't let you up til you're gagging for it-”

“Jesus, Tommy.” Buck's knees shuddered and his eyelids fluttered closed for a moment. Tommy made a deep, approving sound in his throat.

“That bad, huh? Oh, this is going to be fun.”

Hell yeah, it is. Tommy bit his lip, smiling; his eyes dark pools of desire that Buck wanted nothing more than to throw himself into and surrender. Slowly, torturously slowly, Tommy leaned for another kiss, and his fingers moved from Buck's chin to the back of his head, and he brushed gently at the hair there. His lips were just about to touch...

Then he grabbed. And shoved.

“Knees.”

“Yes!”

Buck let his knees fold. His heart thumped. Damn, but Mr Chivalry was good at this. Good at this, and turned the fuck on if the shape in his pants was anything to go by. Tommy yanked at his belt, his pants, his underwear, his own enthusiasm bleeding through in his desperation to take advantage of Buck's waiting lips. He didn't need the hand in Buck's hair to get the kid to take him as deep as the primal need for oxygen would allow. He was always an enthusiastic lover, but Christ, Tommy thought. This was next level. So he pulled his hair anyway, steering him, pushing him. He did love a challenge, and he rose to it – and he rose to it. And then, before Tommy could even make his mouth form the words to order him not to touch himself, he clasped his own hands together behind his back and just went even harder with his mouth. It gave Tommy all sorts of ideas.

“God, Evan, you're beautiful,” he growled. Buck moaned at the praise, and it sang through him. He knotted his fingers tighter at the back of Buck's head and thrust into his mouth. “Thank you – for telling me what you wanted. There's so much more I want to do to you. You're so good for me.”

Buck moaned in drunken, desperate pleasure. Tommy had to give the man's desire addled brain some credit. He knew what he was doing. Lord, did he. And to think he'd prepared himself at the beginning of all this to talk a baby bi through things. Now that they'd gotten to know each other a little better, he was pretty sure Buck knew and enjoyed things he'd never even heard of. Christ, but this kid was going to be the death of him.

“If it's too much,” he instructed, “say Maverick. Or tap out like I showed you in Muay Thai, remember?”

Buck hummed his affirmative, but he was so far from tapping out. His hands unclasped themselves and flailed in the air either side of them but it was only in search of friction – to grab his own swollen cock, maybe or Tommy's thighs to pull himself deeper, and Tommy growled - “No.”

And they went back, and Buck whimpered, but he did it, and the vibration in his throat was almost enough to send Tommy over the edge. He felt full to bursting and he knew Buck could take it – even if he was starting to shake and plead against him. He was making little hitching gagging sounds, wet and sucking sounds, and he refused to give up. And Tommy was only a man, and his hips were starting to shudder like bad brakes. The both of them were getting so close it was hard to harness his words.

“You- you like being told how good you are, don't you?” Tommy teased. “And I bet you'd make the most gorgeous little rope bunny for me. We should- We should talk about- ”

Buck made a sound that Tommy was pretty sure was something along the lines of Tommy, please!

He was so fucking full of cock and love and helpless base need that tears were starting to leak from his eyes. His own hips shivered and jerked and he was going to struggle to stay upright much longer.

“I hear you, baby,” Tommy assured him. “You're so ready for me, aren't you? Come with me, Evan. Take it, baby, take it. It's all yours. I'm all yours.”

He let go, and Buck did indeed take it and lapped him up like the fountain of youth until his own orgasm overcame him too and turned his hips and his knees into jelly. The only thing holding him up after that was Tommy's hand in his hair and eventually the man had to take mercy and let that go too. Buck melted into a puddle of bliss on the floor, beaming; his pupils blown wide and every muscle twitching with pleasure. He has the right idea, Tommy thought, and let himself flop down right next to him and pull him into the best semblance of a spoon he could manage with uncooperative cum-drunk muscles and a hard floor.

“Wow,” Buck mumbled. “This whole communicating thing is really hot.”

“No, baby,” Tommy replied, and planted a kiss on top of his wild hair. He'd really done a number on it, and it made him smile. “Pretty sure that's all you.”

hey, secret santa again :) sorry this message is quite late!

i also love those films by the who, i think i like tommy more than quadrophenia tho bc it’s so strange. you said you’d love some recs for the artists i mentioned, so here's one song from each :D there are songs equally as good as these, but these are my favourites, the songs i heard which made me interested in the musicians:

gimme shelter (the rolling stones)

who are you (the who)

dazed and confused (led zeppelin)

hey joe (the jimi hendrix experience)

go your own way (fleetwood mac)

i listened to the songs you recommended and totally love them, especially the cilla black songs. i haven't listened before but i love her voice. and i only knew a few marianne songs beforehand, like as tears go by, which i love. there’s still so much music to discover!

which record did you last buy? i think the last one i bought was a byrds album bc it was pretty cheap. but i love physical media and apart from records i’m in love with a little 60s camera i have, it comes everywhere with me :-)

you said you’re into films – what’s your favourite atm? are there any you like watching around the holiday period? i don’t have a favourite but i like wes anderson’s early films, the cinematography and colour palettes are beautiful :D any recommendations especially for 60s-70s films?

and to answer the other questions, i do play a couple of instruments! i drum and play bass. piano always seemed very difficult to me, seems like there’s a lot of concentration involved. it’s like magic, i don’t understand it

and getting back ;)) to the beatles, my favourite albums really depend on mood and the weather. recently i’ve been listening to rubber soul and ahdn a lot, they’re very cosy albums to me. i also love please please me, my grandparents still play it a lot, so it reminds me of them. how about you - any favourite beatles albums? any favourite beatle(s)?

i’m sorry again this was so long! i hope you had a good weekend 🎅

hey, don't worry, take as much time as you need! i'm kinda caught up with my finals rn so i might be slow too :(

i LOVE all the songs you recommended!! especially led zeppelin and jimi hendrix i guess, but really all of them are great! i love your taste even more now and want more recs lmao so: what are your favorite albums by any artists?

the record i bought was help by the beatles! it's a dutch vinyl housed in a german jacket but at least it sounds amazing. working on my mission to get all beatles studio albums but they're literally the most expensive (in my local shops at least) so it's taking some time. do you have any goals like this in collecting, like completing certain artists or choosing certain pressings?

favorite film... i've been meaning to make a list of all my favs for forever but i just can't get around to it bc there are so many to remember 😭 well let's say the hours & times atm, it's in no way perfect but i still love it and admire everyone behind it

as for the holiday films, i guess i'll leave classics like home alone out, but right now i have a bunch of older christmas films in my watchlist (miracle on the 34th street, remember the night, etc), i suppose they're classics too in the us/uk but i've never seen them! only watched white christmas so far and was very surprised at how gay it was lmao. are there any christmas films you like?

it's hard to recommed films bc i'm always tempted to recommend directors instead of certain titles, but:

(gay) drama: midnight cowboy (1969) and the boys in the band (1970)

comedies: the apartment (1960) and paper moon (1973)

musicals: funny girl (1968) and my fair lady (1964)

horror: the innocents (1961) and what ever happened to baby jane (1962)

i get what you mean about the beatles albums! atm i'm very into help since i've been listening to it on vinyl lmao. and i like the way it has this early sound but the themes of some songs aren't quite as straightforward as i wanna be your man for example - i'm mostly referring to you've got to hide your love away, but i see the same theme in it's only love. adore both of george's songs on it too. my absolute favs though must be the white album and mmt! rubber soul is very close to them too

i always felt a bit weird about choosing a favorite beatle bc it feels like choosing your favorite child 😭 but i gotta admit i mostly lean towards john and george, esp john. what about you?

BnHA Chapter 022: Needs More Corporate Sponsorships

Previously on BnHA: A dozen pro heroes showed up at USJ. Kurogiri and Tomura were forced to blow the coop. Back at their secret villain hideout, they had a chat with their secret villain boss over Skype. We met All Might’s unnervingly cheerful detective friend. All Might talked about how great class 1-A is (spoilers: really great). Aizawa announced the upcoming sports festival.

Today on BnHA: The heroes discuss Tomura and his fellow villains and keep me guessing. We learn more about the sports fest. Ochako gets fucking possessed by the Spirit of Gambatte and it’s something to behold. All Might has lunch with Deku and tells him he needs to get out there at the sports fest and be like “HEY WORLD, WHAT’S FUCKING UPPPP.”

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 37 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.) 

OCHAKO PROFILE! :D :D :DDD

FUCKING YES, FINALLY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HER QUIRK

THIS SERIOUSLY IS MY FAVORITE QUIRK, I LOVE IT

apparently she’s gotta touch something with all five fingertips on one hand in order to float it

she can float anything under three tons! interesting! so she can’t go floating aircraft carriers around or anything, but she could float a couple of cars if the situation ever called for it. she’ll puke but she could do it!

still no word on a time limit, so I’m just going to assume the thing floats until she releases it, and she herself probably doesn’t know what the limit is because she’s never reached it yet

(ETA: having now watched her fight against Bakugou, it appears to be more of a stamina limit thing than a time limit thing. all of my questions have thus officially been answered!)

her hair’s not bizarre! I take offense

she’s so cute

she sure does wear those tights, all right. you rock those tights Ochako

on to the chapter!

ahh! so they were able to at least find Tomura through the Quirk Registry!

(ETA: I read this completely wrong lol. they were not able to find anyone under that name.)

he can disintegrate anything he touches, but we already knew that. I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE HANDS

it occurs to me that the hands might not actually be his, they might belong to the Main Villain and that’s why Tomura appears to be talking to them sometimes. maybe that’s why they’re not mentioned in the registry. they also seem entirely unrelated to the disintegration quirk

and Kurogiri apparently is still a mystery. or at least he’s not a man in his twenties or thirties. maybe expand your search then. forty-year old villains exist too, surely. or else who will Iida fight

heehee the Sheriff is using his old timey cowboy slang again

I’m a simple person. I see the word “varmints”, I click the like button

All Might doesn’t seem convinced that Tomura was actually their leader

hmmmmmm

the more I think about it the more I’m convinced that the real Main Villain was involved with those hands somehow and was feeding some of Tomura’s dialogue to him to boot

All Might has really good instincts to have picked up on all this from the relatively brief interaction he had with him

yeah I think he’s correctly pegged Tomura as a Belphegor-type

apparently they offer quirk counseling in elementary school! I love hearing these little details that help expand the canon like that

they apprehended 72 fucking villains. I actually thought there were even more, given how many people seemed to be attacking each of the kids’ groups despite them being split into so many groups. anyhow, that’s still a lot of villains. but then, it was a league

now they’re discussing why all of these redshirt villains would follow a guy like Tomura

so clearly Tomura is just a puppet and the real guy who was pulling the strings is still out there, we get it. actually, we already knew that. I wish these guys would arrive at that conclusion already, or if they’re not going to, maybe change the subject unless there’s some other point they’re trying to make here

do not fucking start redeeming this person you guys. don’t start!! go ahead and do whatever you want but don’t expect me to just be on board like that! :/

(ETA: okay, one big thing that seemed to get lost in Viz’s translation, though. when I watched this scene in the anime, it seemed like they were using the word kodomo to describe Tomura, though I could have misheard it. anyway, for whatever reason, Viz translated this as “man-child”; I guess maybe to emphasize Tomura’s immaturity. however, to the best of my knowledge, kodomo actually translates directly to “child.” like, literally a kid.

so here’s the thing... it seems to me that what they’re hinting at here is that Tomura may in fact actually be a teenager himself, possibly not much older than the kids in class 1-A. he wasn’t in the registry, and they speculated that he might not have received quirk counseling, implying that maybe he wasn’t in the school system. anyway, this makes a huge difference to me as far as whether or not I think he’s redeemable, and if it’s true, then I will reverse my stance on that entirely. if he’s still just a kid himself, and is being manipulated/groomed by this mysterious Skype Villain character, that goes a long way towards him getting a pass for being a complete shithead. I mean, he is most definitely not stable from what we’ve seen, so. gotta say I’m pretty curious to see where this goes now. and also if this is true, fuck you Viz for making this so needlessly unclear.)

back to class 1-A!

apparently they’re going to have extra security during the sports fest, but they plan to move forward with it despite the recent attack

I’m torn on whether something else is going to happen, or if it’s just going to be them causing all the chaos on their own, because they’re more than capable of that even without help from villains lol

(ETA: so far it seems to be the latter and I’m loving it)

“our sports festival is the greatest opportunity you’ll get”... for what?

oh wow apparently this thing is a big deal and they all already know all about it

well if you’d all be so kind as to clue me in then

wow so it’s basically the Olympics

a high school sports festival is on the same level as the Olympics???

there’s not even any element of competition between different schools lol. it’s just U.A.

apparently lots of pro heroes use the event to scout for future sidekicks. kind of like how colleges and professional teams scout players at some high school sporting events

well that does sound like a fairly big deal, but surely it’s not as important for these first-years as it is for the older students

not that that’ll stop any of these kids from setting their sights on the big leagues right away, I’m sure

(ETA: okay so now that I know a little bit more about the sports festival, for some reason the question I haven’t been able to shake from my mind is: why are there no corporate sponsorships?

like, if this really is supposed to be BnHA’s equivalent of the Olympics, brands like Nike and Apple and Coca-Cola and various other car and beer and telecom and apparel companies should all be trying to snatch up as many of these kids as possible to push their brands. I mean, they even have an entire Business Course over at U.A., so what are those guys even studying then if stuff like this isn’t a thing.

I do realize of course that these kids are only 15, but their age really shouldn’t be a factor, given that plenty of Olympic-level athletes become well-known and are getting sponsorships and such well before they turn 18. it could also be that the brands concentrate more on the second- and third-years who’ve established themselves in past sports fests, but even if that were true, you’d think that the kids of 1-A would be a special case after the USJ incident thrust them into the spotlight. they practically became celebrities overnight. you’d think at least one or two of them -- Todoroki and Bakugou especially, since they were both already known to a degree -- would have gotten a few last minute calls with some lucrative and tempting offers.

the only other explanation I can come up with is that they’re forbidden from doing this sort of thing. which seems unrealistic since the school would undoubtedly be saying no to a LOT of money, but I guess they’re not hurting for it and don’t need it. (they sure do throw enough of it away on entrance exams.) or I suppose it’s also possible that this actually is going to be a thing, and I just haven’t seen any of it yet due to the aforementioned “they’re only first years” bit. I just think it would potentially be interesting, even just as a background thing.

anyway, I really went off on a tangent, but it’s just something that keeps nagging at me. like it’s a key element that’s missing in order for this to feel more realistic to me. you know, because Jump mangas about superpowers are always so realistic!! but this one actually is for the most part, so it feels all the more out of place.

okay I’ll shut up now.)

now it’s lunchtime!

lol it’s the cement guy. just chilling in the hallway

Cementoss...? pretty sure that was it

I don’t want to go look up his name because I found out the other day that their full names tend to be listed on the wikis, and if they haven’t been revealed in the manga yet then I don’t want to know dammit

the Internet is a treacherous place with dangers lurking around every corner

anyways. all the kids are abuzz with excitement

Iida looks like he’s forgotten how to breathe

I wonder if there’s any chance we might get like, a U.A. dance party at some point. I just want to see Iida try and dance. I think it would be really great

wow Ochako has shadow eyes, that’s a first I think

wow she is fired up

oh my god Ochako. you do know how fucking badly I want you to wreck some bitches, right. you know that? I put it on my wishlist and everything

please, more of this

YASSSSSS. SLAYYYYY

the trio is now walking downstairs on their way to lunch, presumably

LMAO WHAT

OCHAKO WANTS TO BE A HERO FOR THE CASH MONEY

EVERY TIME I LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT HER IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER

now she’s embarrassed because compared with Iida, her motivations are less noble

but Iida flaps his arms around and tells her there’s nothing wrong with wanting to rake in that dough

boy but I sure do ship these two little oddballs

??? wow, she says her family runs a construction company, but that they’re somehow poor. here I would’ve thought they’d be in constant demand, what with villains constantly running amok and destroying shit. maybe there’s too much competition? or maybe heroes with construction-related quirks are putting them out of business somehow?

omg baby Ochako

her slightly oversized sweatshirt that says “SUPER” is making me wibbly eyes

I need to pick up this sweet little cinnamon roll right this instant and give her lots of hugs and cuddles

oh my god and just like that her goal of “making money” is the noblest fucking thing on earth goddamn

they’re fucking speechless

-- ALL MIGHT SUDDENLY APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WASTING YOUR ONE MEASLY HOUR A DAY AND YOU’RE NOT EVEN TEACHING A CLASS

OMG

IT’S GOT BUNNIES ON IT

GO DEKU, BE HIS FRIEND

down in the cafeteria, Iida and Ocha are speculating on what All Might could possibly want with Deku

“perhaps he’s taken a liking to him” y’all have noooo idea

what is this sudden shot of Todoroki

somehow I feel like he’s gonna be the first one to actually put it all together. he’s been listening and observing all this time, and he’s pretty sharp. he knows they have similar abilities; he saw firsthand how Deku behaved around All Might and how he dove in to save him; and I don’t know, but he’s just a pretty smart cookie and I wouldn’t put it past him

(ETA: he was so close. “illegitimate child” is close enough to get full marks IMO. also I’m now positive that Kacchan has figured it out, but I’ll save that speculation for another day.)

oh jesus the time limit is worse than I thought now. only fifty minutes

Deku apologizes even though it had nothing to do with him, aww

and All Might already knows him so well by now that he cuts him off before he can finish

he wants to talk to Deku about the sports festival!

oh yeah that’s right. we don’t want him dying yet again

Deku mentions that he was able to use the power once against Noumu with no side effects. so All Might asks him what he did differently

hmmm

hm. interesting. here I was thinking that it was only coincidental and it might’ve just been because of Noumu’s shock-absorption abilities. but I guess that wouldn’t have completely negated the impact. so I guess Deku would know better than me here

“sounds like you managed to pump the brakes without even knowing it” are you telling me he was worried about overdoing it against the guy who was trying to disintegrate Tsuyu’s face?? why is his heart so pure dammit

still, he’d better figure out how to do this at will, and sooner rather than later

:(((((

“and among those with villainous intent... there are some who’ve started to realize that.” yeah we kind of figured that one out

still, it’s not like Deku’s just going to be able to instantly replace him. he’s only fifteen for crying out loud

All Might what did I just fucking say. FIFTEEN

but I guess that’s not too young to be an inspirational hero though

wow he’s so earnest... he totally won me over in like two seconds

wowwwwww I just got fucking fired up. the intensity lines for no damn reason. and even with All Might coughing up blood at the end there lol

but yeah I’m sold, okay Deku go be a star

BONUS:

HE LITERALLY ISN’T HUMAN????? I WAS WONDERING BECAUSE HE KEPT SAYING “YOU HUMANS”

YOU’RE TELLING ME FUCKING RATATOUILLE HERE SOMEHOW MANIFESTED A QUIRK AND BECAME SO INTELLIGENT AND SUCCESSFUL THAT HE’S THE PRINCIPAL OF THE WORLD’S PREEMINENT SUPERHERO ACADEMIC INSTITUTION

HE’S 85 CENTIMETERS TALL. THAT’S TWO FEET AND NINE INCHES

WONDER WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR THIS GERBIL TO SUDDENLY BECOME SELF AWARE AND DECIDE TO GO TO COLLEGE OR WHATEVER

AND WE MAY KNOW HIS NAME NOW BUT TO ME HE’LL ALWAYS BE THE RAT PRINCIPAL

(ETA: LITERALLY I’VE FORGOTTEN HIS ACTUAL NAME AGAIN ANYWAY)

LOOK AT HIM SMOKING A TINY RAT CIGARETTE. THAT’S SO BAD FOR YOU MISTER PRINCIPAL GOODBYE I AM DONE GOODBYE
