How about Nana Shimura and/or Toshinori for the inbox meme? ^^

Spell a name and I’ll give you headcannons!

(lets do both because I have no self control and I love this ask meme, I hope ur ready for another round of “Novel can never shut up”)

Nana Shimura:

N: What do they usually eat for breakfast?

Hmmm, I think it kind of depends on what time she’s eating and what she’s gotta do that day! Like if she’s eating late-ish bc of hero duties (or if she anticipates being busy all day), she might stick to simpler things like a bowl of soup or some plain rice with a few sides of whatever’s sitting in her pantry and fridge (ranging from nori, to pickles, to a bowl of fish balls from dinner). Something filling, but fairly quick to eat.

If she’s eating early bc she needs to be leaving earlier than usual to handle things (or if she doesn’t want to go back to bed) she’ll probably snack on various things around the house, even if they’re not really…. snacking foods. You can’t tell her she’s not allowed to eat it out of the pot by the spoonful when she’s the only one living there, dammit!

If it’s a regular day, there’s a 50/50 chance she’ll pick something different and random to eat, just for the heck of it - maybe some imported cheeses, or these new sausages she picked up from the market, because I’m still a huge fan of Nana kind of being a foodie and being willing to try literally anything and everything. The other 50% of the time, though, she’s probably eating a traditional breakfast (usually with Torino or Toshinori!)

A: What are/were this character’s best subjects in school?

I really think, outside of the fairly obvious answer of PE, she would’ve been really good in classes like social studies and history! In general, I don’t think there would be too many classes Nana isn’t fond of or terrible at though, in the end.

S: How stealthy are they?

Usually, she doesn’t need stealth, so on a day-to-day basis she’s of average stealth, for a Pro Hero, of course! Should the need arise, though, I think she can definitely manage a few notches above that. Nana’s no spy, but, she can avoid detection when a situation calls for it.

H: What is their deadly sin?

This is… a difficult one, bc we just, know nothing about Nana, ahaha. I mean, everything is just, pure speculation right now. In this case, I’m kind of thinking about and drawing from Ageswap!Nana a little bit, but… I’ve decided, after much thinking, Nana’s deadly sin would be Greed. Not by the classical definition but… i’m not sure how to really explain it, haha. It’s just… I think, there are things she wants to have, and wants to be able to have, but that she knows she shouldn’t or can’t because of her dreams and goals and job.

Drawing on other headcanons (like that she was a fairly ordinary hero and that possibly, during Nana and AfO’s fight, he brought up her husband), part of her struggles come from straight-up being a regular human being that wants a family and to live her life but can’t, because of her lifestyle. She wants it, can’t always have it, and needs to figure out how to balance it all out.

I: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do they love themselves

Anywhere from 7-9, on bad days to good days respectively. Nana knows what she’s capable of and who she is, and she’s happy with who that person is. (if the person she is can inspire kids like Toshinori, too, then surely she’s done something right, after all.)

M: What is their favourite dessert?

A tough one…. I think she’d be a fan of cold desserts, mostly. I’m thinking mochi and halo-halo, because those are… the only two coming to mind right now, haha.

U: What’s their voice like?

Fairly deep, kind of what comes across as a more traditionally rich female voice? I think she’d put a lot of inflection into her voice too, but it usually sounds smooth and… bright, like she’s smiling or in a good mood.

R: What are their hands like?

Though she wears gloves in her hero form, I think Nana has somewhat rough hands, from training. I also like to think she has big hands, if her pictures are any indication - their size can’t all be from her gloves, man! The kind of large, firm hands that would give All Might a run for his money.

Toshinori:

T: Where are they ticklish?

Mmm, Toshinori doesn’t entirely strike me as a very ticklish person in general! Though, if I had to pick a spot, probably his legs/feet. And it only tickles if they’re trying to tickle him, just jabbing him won’t do a thing.

O: What would it take to break them, inside and out?

A systematic destruction of everything he’s worked to create and is working to protect. Toshinori thrives on belief, on hope; belief in his own skills as All Might; hope in the new generation of heroes; belief in his successor and the rest of UA; hope that he, together with everyone, can twist fate somehow. If it all crumbled, slow but inevitable - to see that kind of thing happen to the people he loves, to the city and world he’s tried so hard to keep standing with his own two hands, well, Toshinori isn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t take that kind of thing personally, to some degree.

Especially if it’s brought about by Shigaraki and AfO themselves.

S: How stealthy are they?

I think All Might is only loud and boisterous and with a big, unavoidable presence because most of the time, that’s what society needs. Someone big, grand, able to strike bad guys down with a single hit and, as a result of always announcing his presence in order to discourage villains, not stealthy at all.

However!!!!! I 10000% think Toshinori (both in AM form and true form) is absolutely capable of being sneaky when he needs to. His speed is an asset as All Might, even if his size isn’t necessarily, and as a kid he was small and quirkless - even with years of training to be a hero and having OfA with him, that kind of stuff doesn’t just, vanish. Toshi’s probably got some good tricks up his sleeve about disappearing into crowds from way back when, regardless of form.

H: What is their deadly sin?

In Toshinori’s case…….. I’d say Wrath and Pride. Tho not their classical definitions again, ahaha.

Pride, because having been the Number One hero, he always feels, to some degree, responsible for so many of the things that happen in the hero-villain scene, especially involving AfO - the sense of pride he feels he, as All Might, should have, as far as being the Symbol of Peace and someone who should be able to do things alone goes, often prevents him from seeking help. Which, is fairly obvious.

Wrath, though… wrath is because of how purely instinctual and emotional Toshinori is. He’s always stated to have been a prodigy with One for All, a natural user. I pointed it out once (in one of the Ageswap AU questions you asked me a while ago, funnily enough) that Toshinori, as hard as he tries, can still be swayed quite easily by his own thoughts and feelings, especially when a subject is personal to him. The best and most clear example (also the one I used in the ask, heh) is when All for One riled him up over Nana in Kamino Ward - those taunts led to Toshinori leaving himself open because he let that rage and anger guide him to strike back. And if it happened at that moment in time, what’s stopping it from happening at others? Even if the context wouldn’t be anywhere close to the same…. (this applies to emotions and thoughts and feelings other than rage too, of course, but in the context of the deadly sin, well, that’s self explanatory.)

So, two deadly sins…. though, if I had to actually pick, I’m not entirely certain which one I would go with! ^^;;

I: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do they love themselves?

It…. changes, from time to time and day to day. Where we are in canon right now, I think…. he’s wavering around the 4-7 mark. He drifts towards seven more often lately though, especially when he’s got the kids and the other staff at UA with him to lift him up if he seems kind of down.

N: What do they usually eat for breakfast?

Before his injury, his breakfast schedule probably looked a lot like Nana’s did, minus the eccentric food bit! Though perhaps just a bit more beefed up, since he did quite a lot as Symbol of Peace, haha. Gotta make up for those burned calories, my dude.

Nowadays, his breakfasts are filled with tea and protein bars and crackers, spread out over the whole morning of course. He no longer has a “breakfast” to his routine, just a whole lotta snacks.

R: What are their hands like?

As All Might, they’re broad, firm - rugged from his work as a hero, but not necessarily rough. He has to take good care of all of him, and that includes his hands; not a crack on his skin, though it’s probably riddled in little scars you’d never notice unless you knew they were there.

In true form, his hands are, of course, bony. His fingers and palm remain the same length and all that, but they’re half the size to go with his dropped body mass. Just as firm and steady as they are when he’s All Might though, and you can see/find his little scars (from training, a few from old accidents, and also from working as a hero) much easier when he’s Toshinori.

I tend not to really have solid headcanons until someone asks me and forces me to think #also i'd like to point out that despite how we all formed our own ideas of what Nana was like when she was alive #through the few times we've seen or heard of her in canon... many interpretations of her are very similar #just a thought is all
