bakugo's daughter is his little treasure.
if he's not on patrol, she's with him everywhere. he just can't help wanting to show his little girl the entire world.
he could be getting new blankets or dropping somebody off, for all he knows his princess has to be with him, attached to the hip at every given opportunity.
she definitely teams up with you, though. she's a mommy's girl as much as she's daddy's. even when she's just barely began saying a few coherent words, she still walks her way and stands next to you whenever both you and katsuki call her at the same time.
but nothing- nothing-gets katsuki happier than when he's out in public and his girl begins grabbing at any merch she sees of him — could be a shirt, a poster, a mug, a toy. any merch of any kind. often, when her little hands meet the object of her choice, she'd start to giggle as she says "dada," looking between her soft-gazed father and whatever has him on it.
"yeah? that's me, that's right," the older blonde chuckled, gripping his daughter in his arms as she made grabby hands at a billboard with her dad on it, giving him the title of the #1 hero of japan. her soft fists kept clenching and opening, wide-eyed as she looks at her dad then at the screen.
"dada," she babbled in disbelief, then gasped. "dada!"
"yes, that's dada over there," katsuki nodded. he would've been embarrassed at his use of such a term if he weren't too engulfed in just how smart his little girl is. "and you're gonna grow up and be just like him, right?"
"dada," she looked at him, her face serious although drool formed at the sides of her mouth from blabbering so much with her little mouth. "mama..?"
he laughed as the way her small head turned, eyes looking for her beloved mother. the hero dynamight has never loved one like this little girl in his arms. never had he felt warmth like when she speaks his name and calls him her silly little 'dada'.
"mommy's at home," he smiled softly. "we'll get her dinner then go home, okay?"
"hoo?" she cooed, repeating what she could after her dad. katsuki felt so much warmth he could cry.
"mhm, home," he nodded with a soft smile. "mommy will give you a brother soon, she needs good food."
this little girl was the best gift you've ever given katsuki. and katsuki was a greedy man, he wanted another one. he'd take as many as you're willing to give.

Why Bakugou is a HORRIBLY written character
[POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING]
As someone who likes My Hero Academia (aka MHA), I don’t understand why so many people like Bakugou as a character. Now, it’s okay to like characters who are evil or mean. But that’s only if they genuinely have a reason for why they turned out that way, or if at the very least they’re properly built into the role. Whereas Bakugou doesn’t fit either of those and it pisses me off.
Bakugou is the main reason why I quit watching MHA at some point and I've only recently returned. There’s many things about him I don’t like and I hate that girls thirst over this bastard and even worse, romantically ship him with his victim. Let's go down the reasons why Bakugou is personally one of the most horrible fictional characters I've ever seen.
His apology & relationship with Midoriya
Tumblr media
Listen, I have mixed feelings about it, but mostly negative feelings. I’m 1% glad he did it. But on the other hand, he REALLY should either have done it way sooner or he shouldn’t have just apologized to Midoriya at all. Especially considering that he bluffs his apology. It was one of those ‘I’m apologizing but not really’ kind of apologies. He literally says, “This doesn’t change anything. But I meant it.” What the heck is that supposed to mean? Why does Horikoshi CONSISTENTLY keep failing his characters that are victims of abuse by blaming them and not the ones who abused them in the first place? Why is there always such a need for the victims to either feel responsible for the things that happen to them, or to just deal with the abuse because justice is a fantasy? I get that realistically in some places of the world, justice can be hard to come by. But wouldn’t stories about justice give more people hope that it can actually happen anyway? 
Even if Bakugou genuinely had a good apology, I would still tell him to shove it up his booty hole because he literally told Izuku to kill himself, then tried to kill Izuku HIMSELF. No amount of apologizing is ever going to erase literal attempted murder. The only reason why Izuku believes that he and Bakugou are now 'friends' is simply because it’s an abusive relationship they have. Either that or it’s a form of Stockholm syndrome. Nothing about their ‘friendship’ is healthy in any way. The so-called “friendship” between Bakugou and Midoriya is an insult to the word itself. It CONTINOUSLY glosses over the fact that Bakugou’s treatment towards Midoriya is not that of a friend, but an abuser. I swear, it’s like Bakugou has some disgusting hate fetish for Izuku or something.
What I hate even more is when people try to justify Bakugou being an utter villain to Izuku by saying, “Oh, Midoriya should’ve left him alone! He should’ve stayed away from Bakugou!” And whether or not that may be true, you’re still insinuating that Izuku DESERVED to be treated so horribly because of such a small factor. I’m sorry, but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime in this case. Which, oddly enough, brings me to my next point
2. He is never punished 
Tumblr media
Bakugou is never ever given any sort of punishment or discipline from those around him. Not even the teachers. And whenever there is a punishment for him, it’s hardly one at all and the punisher blames someone else along with him. Bakugou is never truly held accountable for the things that he does to people. Not even his own friends correct him. At the very most, he gets a slap on the wrist from Tenya or Aizawa. Because of this, he never changes at all. He constantly stays the same and it’s honestly so irritating to see this craphead get away with everything he does, despite him literally having the potential to be a terrorist. For a story about heroes, the creator sure doesn’t do a good job at making sure people get their consequences for what they do. It'd be one thing if the story was, "Oh, the pro hero system is corrupt and people are fighting for change!" But we all know that's not what MHA is, now is it?
3. His ‘development’ and backstory
Tumblr media
I am absolutely positive that the main reason why Bakugou is such a horrible character is because he literally has no development or backstory whatsoever. There is no reason why Bakugou is the way he is. He’s just a narcissist. Not even his ‘apology’ can be depicted as development because Bakugou still acts no less crappy towards Deku. Actions speak louder than words and Bakugou is living proof of that. There is no point in making a character promise to do better if you as the storywriter don't put in the effort to make them do so. 
And even if Bakugou was going to supposedly stay a crappy character without apologizing, he has NO reason at all to be the way he is. Even Dabi (aka Toya Todoroki) has a reason as to why he's such a crap-bag. And while Dabi is an absolute murderous butthead who should be incarcerated for life, it’s understandable that he became a villain because his father, Endeavour, abused him. Dabi became a villain because he wanted to kill his father and take down the other pro heroes. He believes that all pro heroes are fake because of how his father was to him. And while it no way justifies what he does to people in the slightest, it makes it easier to at least understand why he does what he does in the first place. That’s why Dabi works as a character with evil attributes, whereas Bakugou does not. Bakugou wouldn't even work as a villainous character should the shift be made.
Bakugou was not abused as a child like Shoto Todoroki. He did not grow up in poverty like Ochako Uraraka. His parents had always supported him wanting to become a hero by training in UA. Bakugou has no reason to be the asshole that he is besides some made-up inferiority complex that’s not even properly fleshed out. Bakugou doesn’t face any consequences of his own. He never learns anything new. He never even went through anything traumatic. Which makes him not only super vexing to watch, but it also makes him such a bland character. A blank slate who yells at people for no reason. There is nothing that makes him interesting or stand out besides the fact he gives his voice actors laryngitis. Why on Earth should I feel even an atom of sympathy for this fictional man who has never had to struggle in his life for anything? Bakugou is insufferable for no reason whatsoever. 
4. His personality
Tumblr media
Another reason why Bakugou’s personality stinks is because he quite literally doesn’t have one besides being a brat. Sure he has friends, but even he’s an absolute jerk to them most of the time and is physically aggressive towards them. “Oh, but he beats the schnitzel out of Mineta!” Kicking Mineta’s crap in is a human reaction. That’s just a normal reaction to watching your classmate sexually harass people. That doesn’t determine that he’s a good person. Him hating Mineta is basic human decency. Nothing more, everything less. And anyone who says otherwise is only saying it because they’re a loser who desperately wants to justify their desire to hook up with a violent teenager. I don’t care if the guy looks like an e-boy version of Guy Fieri. He’s still a major psychopath who couldn’t give a dip about anyone else but himself. 
Never in my life have I come across a character that is so horribly written, and yet so heavily cherished by the people who like the series. Especially when you know that the majority of them are teenage girls who don’t even know what a healthy relationship is. As someone who writes stories a whole lot, I absolutely hate it with a burning passion because Bakugou is a legitimate insult to the art of storymaking. I understand that no storyteller is perfect. Though there’s a major difference between making an honest mistake in your writing and actively CHOOSING to positively represent a character that brings nothing to the table, but also keeps destroying it. If Bakugou left the series completely, I have no doubt that not only the story would be more peaceful, but it would also be hard to notice at first. That’s how insignificant he is. 
It is clear how much I hate Bakugou. And I hate to say this considering he’s still a teenager, but I really hope he dies. He is hardly a character at all and it would just be the best thing for everyone since Horikoshi is scared of properly developing his characters for some reason. I know some of y'all might hate me for this, but I do not care.
Baku needs to go.

Yesterday I gave my friend who is not into fanfiction or MHA a link to my AO3 and she said she was going to read everything, and I didn’t believe her but she already made it through my rapey Dabi fic and is twelve chapters deep in Offering so.... called my bluff, I guess.

Been reading up on some things about Sims and Maxis... seems they've hit a new low lately with their new pack. Not talking about sales, but low in terms of overall "fan happiness."
{mediocrely ranty}
TL;DR Latest update SUCKS and I NEED NPCC back before I can play seriously.
Lotta people upset with the new pack in terms of quality content. I already came to the conclusion that I don't care about the whole school system so I'll be dropping all of my teen sims out of that mess. They'll just have to do online school. The rest of the new world "looks" cool, but I've barely got to experience it as I'm still recovering from everything that's broken.
This update has seriously messed with a lot of things in my game. My save game is a very meticulously crafted piece of work that I've shaped into my own PERFECT world. I have rules, regulations, and strict standards put in place to keep this world perfect. Many of the mods I used that enforced those standards are quite broken now leaving my world in a bit of chaos. To put this in perspective, I have yet to make a serious hard save to my game since updating about a week and a half ago as I keep finding things going wrong in my game that are detrimental to my overall world. So its safe to say my previous version I backed up is looking awfully enticing to rollback. Though I prefer to stick it out and push forward, y'know my thing, KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
My biggest problem now is waiting for NPCC to update. I knew it was an important mod in my game, but didn't realize how important until I saw this freakazoid showed up to be my club's DJ and not Hatsune Miku or Sonic the Hedgehog or any of my radically cool set DJs.
Tumblr media
As if I haven't said it enough times before, but I HATE townies. They're a blight upon the game and must be purged. NPCC kept my town clean of their filth, but without it all of my set sims have lost their roles and the infestation as started. DJs, mailmen, vendors, mixologists, waiters, etc. all monstrosities. I'm scared to send my sims out of their houses because it might generate more. I've been keeping my sims quarantined on The Island Bluffs majority of the time, the last bastion of safety.
I've seen alternative mods for NPCC, but none function exactly the same. Particularly how NPCC allows households to still be played is extremely useful. Alternative mods still require the sims to be evicted and un-played to work. Examples like how with NPCC I could still play as my Mario Bros. household and them still be set as service role repairmen. And Tenya Iida could still be my mailman with my MHA Boys household marked as played too. That was incredibly useful and I kinda can't live without it.
So I can't really work on my world now. I'm still making new sims since I can easily paste them into an old save if I need to, but its annoying not being able to confidently save my game progress after a play session knowing there's a good chance I will have to revert back because something stupid happened to my sims or the world. What kind of things you might wonder? Well worst case scenarios would be my sims' having their body shapes altered (Star Wars Stormtroopers did that to me), having my sims' outfits being altered (Discover University did that too), or random traits/ preferences get assigned (happened a few times before, typically NPC roles, so doubtful it'd be a problem now.) You might not think those to be too big a deal, but if it were to happen in mass to my sims population as a whole, WELL lets just say I wouldn't want to go through and fix 800-900 sims... that's why I'm overly cautious with my save game.
I was building up a pseudo side world to play in, but realized the obvious problem to that solution is that whatever I do in that world won't be real as it didn't happen in my main save. Meaning I edit lots, sims, whatever I'll have to re-save them to my bin to transfer into my real world eventually giving myself more work to do OR I scrap all those ideas and just throw caution to the wind and play my main save with reckless abandon and simply "fix" whatever issues that show up later down the line no matter how dire or time consuming they might be. (i.e. it would be future me's problem.)
Do I play it safe in a secondary world and give myself more work later syncing save files or do I "reckless abandon" my main save and live for the now? Hmmm, choices choices... leaning more towards reckless abandon now because I just want to play my game lol.

Mha fic idea #11
I recently rewatched season 1, do you guys remember the moment in the USJ where AllMight finished defeating the Nomu and he told Shigaraki and Kurogiri to give up? Because, unknown to the villians, if AllMight moved he would have revealed his true form?
I think Izuku would remember that.
And i think he would replicate it.
Imagine, for whatever reason, Izuku is stuck in a bad situation where he can't use his quirk and a villain stands right in front him. He bluffs, raising his hands to prepare for a fight he doesn't have the strength to win.
But then the villain hesitates.
Neither of them make the first move and the villian watches Izuku with sharp eyes. Tracking his every movement in preparation for an attack.
Izuku then realizes that word of his and his classmates successful fights (lov overhaul, stain, etc.) has made it far enough that others now see them as a threat; or at least as strong opponents. If not the class... Izuku knew a lot of the more public fights had shown his face as the victor, often dealing the final blow, set beside the images of actual pro's; Like he was meant to be there despite being a student.
The moment of the USJ pops into his mind. AllMight was able to keep the league at bay at just the idea of defeating them.
Izuku doesn't have to fight this villain. He just has to convince them they'll lose if they try.
So, Izuku puts on his most confident expression, relaxes his stance, and smirks:
"What are you waiting for?"

BnHA Chapter 231: hey wHAT THE FUCK
Previously on BnHA: Horikoshi was all “lol what if the guy who can clone himself but is too afraid gets over his fears and makes like 200,000 of him,” and then he chuckled and did it. Re-Destro was all, “(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ...hey, Skeptic.” Skeptic was all, “!!!” and quickly faded himself out of existence like that kid in that one meme. The Legion of Twices rolled across the city leaving chaos in their wake, and helping Compress out of a jam in the process. Meanwhile King Cone continued to harass Dabi, who’s apparently starting to cook himself from the inside out, which I think we can all agree is probably not good. Then, over in the Ol’ Villain Laboratory, Ujiko abruptly decided to throw the LoV a bone and wake up Machia, because I guess Horikoshi was all “so anyway we should do that climax now I guess.” So on to the climax we go?
Today on BnHA: Machia awakens and starts zooming toward where the action is. We then cut to Osaka, where Hawks is apparently waiting for Dabi to show up (he’s late, wonder why that is) because he has a delivery for him. No idea what said delivery is, none whatsoever. Oh hey there, flashback of Best Jeanist -- OH NO. FLASHBACK OF BEST JEANIST, HAWKS IS COMING. OH MY GOD HE HAS AIRPODS ON HE CAN’T HEAR US ffffff. Anyway so we’re just going to ignore all of that, and back in the present Twice catches up with Spinner and Tomura who are both happy to see him and very pleased with his recent character development. The group of them have almost made it to Re-Destro’s tower, although both Spinner and Twice appear to be concerned about Tomura’s current exhausted state. The chapter ends with Twice (well, one of the Twices) arriving in the tower to rescue Princess Giran from Re-Destro’s clutches, which, fuck yeah.
(All comments are my 99% unspoiled reactions from my initial readthrough of the chapter. I did a quick edit for grammar and clarity immediately afterward, and added a couple of ETAs in the process, but aside from that there are no changes.)
so if anyone tried to send me an ask in the last 24 hours or so, you may have noticed that my inbox was temporarily closed (I’ve reopened it now). this was due to a very polite anon ask I received yesterday morning which was nonetheless ominous as fuck
Tumblr media
like, holy shit, lol. so of course my brain immediately panicked and came up with a whole list of things that this could possibly be referring to
Giran dies
someone else dies
Horikoshi kills another dog
Kacchan’s provisional license is revealed but his thumb is conveniently blocking out his hero name because Horikoshi is, in fact, evil
Re-Destro transforms into a big ugly spider-crab creature like Overhaul
RD transforms into something even worse, like a mushroom, or a centipede
worst-case scenario: “My Hero Academia will be on break next week.” or for two weeks. or, god forbid, an entire month. can you even fucking imagine holy shit
so anyway, as previously mentioned I immediately closed my asks so as to protect myself from any potential spoilers, and then I settled in to wait. and now I am finally reading the chapter, so I guess I should brace myself for whatever terrible things are about to unfold
and we’re opening with... what the fuck...
Tumblr media
I guess it’s a nose lol
lmao oh my god
Tumblr media
are you telling me he is going to track down Tomura by scent. Tomura just how rank are you after six weeks of nonstop battling in the woods. no wonder Machia hates you so much. was it really so simple this whole time
anyway, so now this is happening
Tumblr media
I’m not even the one he’s hunting down and even I’m terrified. say a quick prayer for the Liberation Army of Assholes, everyone. they were, as the name implies, assholes, but I’m not sure anyone deserves what’s about to go down. Geneva Convention about to be violated something fierce
ASKDFJLWIREFJOAIJDLKLSDKFJSLDAKF
Tumblr media
WELL IF IT ISN’T THE BIRB TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIS BOYFRIEND, WHO UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM IS CURRENTLY FIGHTING GOOD HUMOR WHILE TRYING TO COPE WITH HIS ORGANS BEING ON FIRE. HELLO THERE, HANDSOME
8. new worst-case scenario: Hawks fucking dies. oh my god. I’m about to go put this whole fucking chapter down right now and go take a walk while trying not to panic
so Hawks is crouching on that rooftop with a big ol’ bag. whatcha got there Hawks
(ETA: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)
and he’s being smart and stuff
Tumblr media
okay correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that Various Bits Of Giran ominously turning up at all of the League’s Greatest Hits locations ought to count as an incident related to the League. eh?? sounds to me like the Hero Network has been slacking
-- NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9. NEW NEW WORST-CASE SCENARIO BEST JEANIST FUCKING DIES WHAT THE FUCK
(ETA: and I also missed the part about the sidekicks the first time around! what the fuck!!)
BITCH I REALLY AM ABOUT TO GO OUT ON THAT WALK!?!? WHAT’S HORIKOSHI’S EMAIL I WANT TO WRITE HIM A VERY STRONGLY WORDED LETTER
shit. well look. if I just stop right here and don’t finish the chapter then it can’t hurt me. but on the other hand, if I quit BnHA right now and delete my tumblr then I’ll never find out Kacchan’s hero name. so anyway this is a really big dilemma for me as you can see guys, but I guess I’m just gonna have to suck it up and read on anyway because I apparently hate myself
ohhhhh shit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
who’s he talking to?? that doesn’t sound like Dabi. and Tomura doesn’t know that Hawks exists. I’m thinking this must be Ujiko, then
lol he’s apparently out in public while taking this call, and his adoring fans are all “OMG WHO’S HE TALKING TO IS IT HIS GIRLFRIEND.” first of all, I think we all know Hawks doesn’t swing that way. and second of all, haha nope
anyway so now he’s flying off to go get some fucking privacy
okay now I’m absolutely positive this isn’t Dabi lol
Tumblr media
because if that is Dabi being all “SPICY!!!” then I must say I’ve really failed to get the correct read on Dabi’s character up to this point. like, I could not have gotten that more wrong if I tried
wow Hawks is really going all in on his whole “secretly disgruntled traitor” act. if I didn’t know better I sure would be convinced
Tumblr media
I love the juxtaposition between what he’s saying and what he’s actually thinking here. he’s so fucking smart, it’s ridiculous. constantly playing this dangerous game of chess in his head and judging what to say and how to act to best gain their trust
wow who is this?? maybe it really is Dabi
Tumblr media
either that or someone new?? is the plot thickening?? jesus christ I was not prepared for any of this, I thought it was just gonna be a chapter of Gigantomachia fucking shit up. not all of this Intrigue
yep it is Dabi. wow Dabi. I’m gonna call you Spicy from now on you little freak
Tumblr media
-- HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
BACK THE FUCK UP. IS THIS IMPLYING THAT FUCKING HAWKS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KIDNAPPING OR FUCKING MURDERING MOTHERFUCKING ULTIMATE FINEST JEANIST, BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO LOSE MY SHIT OVER HERE WHAT THE FUCK
AND NOW WE’RE CUTTING TO ANOTHER BUILDING SOMEWHERE, STILL IN FLASHBACK MODE, AND IMMA KEEP THE CAPSLOCK ON JUST IN CASE BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THAT WE MAY JUST BE IN NEED OF IT
Tumblr media
I CAN’T BELIEVE HORIKOSHI WENT FROM “HAHA LOOK AT ALL THESE TWICES” TO “HAWKS FUCKING MURDERS BEST JEANIST!!!” IN THE SPAN OF A SINGLE CHAPTER OH GOD
OH GOD!!!
Tumblr media
BUT CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT TWO LUNGS, BEST DEAD MAN WALKING???
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKFLSDKJ
Tumblr media
MAYBE I DON’T REALLY NEED TO KNOW KACCHAN’S HERO NAME AFTER ALL SOB IT’S BEEN A GREAT MANGA EVERYONE, WONDERFUL GETTING TO KNOW YOU ALL BUT I CAN’T
... [CLICKS TO NEXT PAGE WHILE SOBBING!!!]
HEY WHAT THE FUCK WHAT IS THIS! WHERE DID THE FLASHBACK GO!!
Tumblr media
HEY GUYS. OKAY LISTEN. IF BEST JEANIST’S HEAD IS IN THAT BAG, I’M ABOUT TO RAGE QUIT THIS WHOLE SCENE THOUGH
aaaaaaand now we’re cutting back to King Joffrey* VS Choco Taco. great
*this is a reference to Game of Thrones you guys. “bring me his head!” it’s not the best joke because I immediately realized it would probably require an explanation, hence me explaining it right now. but I’m not gonna go back and delete it though because, well. if the shoe fits, Spicy Boi
maybe it’s not Best Jeanist’s head. maybe I’m having an extreme overreaction to this whole thing. maybe the bag is filled with flowers. or letters to Santa that he’s delivering. or something else really good and wholesome and not-terrible
maybe they found someone with a cloning quirk like Twice’s, and they made a fake Jeanist and decapitated him? Hawks isn’t a fucking murderer though, like surely he wouldn’t go that far to gain the League’s trust even if it would save a lot of lives in the long run. right?? someone please reassure me here I feel like I’m on a boat slowly drifting out to sea with no way back sob help
oh hey look who finally decided to show up again!
Tumblr media
and Spinner too! somehow I straight up forgot about him. maybe he’ll finally show us his quirk and we can forget all this Sopranos bullshit
wow, despite being completely fucking tanked from sleep deprivation Tomura is actually having a very reasonable conversation with Spinner and I’m fucking impressed actually
Tumblr media
it’s really starting to seem that the lack of sleep is actually making him saner, which is extremely intriguing. it’s like whatever brainwashing/mental manipulation that Ujiko and AFO did is slowly losing its effect because of how tired he is. first the flashbacks, then the power upgrade, and now this uncanny single-minded focus that he’s developed. idk, just my theory, but I think we’re seeing a bit of his real personality starting to shine through here
anyway so I guess all these fuckers are about to die
Tumblr media
place your bets everyone. will it be Tomura continuing on his rampage? Spinner finally revealing his quirk? Machia making his grand entrance? or a surprise entrance from Hawks wondering why his boyfriend didn’t show in Osaka like they agreed to retrieve his head in a bag sobbbbb
and maybe I should take back what I previously said about Tomura becoming saner, though. ...
Tumblr media
though I mean, even if he’s saner in general he is still kooky from the no-sleep though
also it looks like the Twices have finally arrived! I didn’t even include them as an option to bet on. I’m really losing my touch here. it’s almost as if I’m distracted by something!!
okay, and now Twice is tackling Tomura to the ground for some reason while screaming “HIYAAAAH!” not how I was expecting you to deal with the situation Jin but okay
okay but not only is Tomura accepting this with more grace than some football quarterbacks, but he’s genuinely starting to remind me of Deku now holy shit. I take back my take-back. jesus christ when did he get so mellow?!
Tumblr media
“I have no idea why you just fucking shoved me into the pavement for no reason but wow, you’ve really gotten stronger bro!” okay, things I was not expecting to happen in this chapter: Hawks going Full Evil while Tomura inches ever closer toward being a straight up nice dude
Twice is all “yeah!!” and says he hopes he can finally be useful to Tomura now. aww
meanwhile the Army of Dipshits is charging in again since they all want to die, apparently. I keep waiting for a few of them to have an epiphany in the background and be all “you know what, maybe I should get the fuck out of here and to hell with Re-Destro though.” but nope, they’re all idiots. it’s really something
Tomura is so fucking nice. his niceness is the balm I needed to soothe my anxiety over Best Deadest Jeanist
Tumblr media
... [headpats]
he remembers from before that RD and Giran are supposedly up in the tower, and he’s more than ready to kill the former. quote unquote, “kill him reeeealll good.” that’s what I like to hear, Tomura
oh my god
Tumblr media
motherfucking League of Softies right here. well except for Todoroki “Queen of Hearts” Touya. there, I worked in a more accessible chopped-off-heads reference for you guys. anyways he has issues, but the rest of the League of Angels is very sweet though
so Twice is shouting “just leave it to mes! hang on Giran, I’m coming for ya!” and I suddenly got scared all over again for Giran oh my god. please don’t hurt him, I was prepared for it before but now Best Jeanist is dead probably and I’m a fragile, vulnerable mess who’s trying to cope with humor and failing sob please
oh my GOD
Tumblr media
SHIGARAKI TOMURA I KEEP JOKING ABOUT HOW NICE YOU ARE AND YOU KEEP ESCALATING YOUR LEVEL OF NICENESS TO MATCH MY FUCKING EXAGGERATIONS THOUGH, WHAT THE FUCK. “I WON’T FORGIVE YOU FOR TOYING WITH PEOPLE’S HEARTS LIKE THAT.” FOR REAL?!?! WHO EVEN ARE YOU
oh it’s this guy again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so did I honestly
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you deserve to die a quick and brutal “Indiana Jones shooting the guy with the big sword” death, buddy. my fingers are crossed for Gigantomachia to just plow right through you as soon as I click to the next page. Horikoshi owes me, so
goddammit
Tumblr media
wow this is almost verbatim Syndrome’s speech from the first Incredibles
also these guys just keep on getting more horrible. good job assholes
so Spinner’s thinking to himself that every time Hanabata gives a speech his lackeys get more fired up. and he’s wondering what to do because ‘I can’t let Shigaraki get any more exhausted!’
the love these guys have for each other though, I swear. like it genuinely is the sweetest thing. honestly the only real problem I have with this arc so far is that my disbelief is going to be crazy suspended if and when they go back to kidnapping kids and shit after this arc. there’s just no way I’ll be able to reconcile that in my head with the current League of Darlings here. I feel like it would be more consistent for their next scheme to be them angrily raising money for a charity or something
Tumblr media
now what’s happening up in the tower
oh shit
Tumblr media
that was fast Jin
and he continues to be hot. now he’s even doing it while still wearing the Deadpool mask! this is outrageous
gotta love that trash talk. “so you’re the asshole that kidnapped our broker and chopped off his hand and beat up my girlfriend! well guess what! YOU’RE BALD YOU BIG JERK”
Giran hotness status: still hot. this one basically goes without saying but it’s still worth a mention
bold fucking move bringing up your dead mouse secretary, Re-Jerko. sob. please don’t kill Giran or Twice. is that the real Twice?? -- no, because the real Twice is still sitting in that backyard with his arms broken, that’s right. but still, I’d prefer if you didn’t kill this one either though but whatever
where is Skeptic. you’d figure he’d have run into him on his way to the top of the tower. that’s unsettling, him still being out there somewhere
lastly, so long as Schrödinger’s Jeanist’s status remains unconfirmed I will go ahead and assume those really are letters to Santa in Hawks’s bag. that’s so sweet of you Hawks. you’ll fit right in with the League of Saints and I’m sure they’ll be pleased to welcome you
what a sweet and wholesome chapter where nothing bad happened and Best Jeanist is probably just off in Tahiti somewhere enjoying life with his one remaining lung well good night everyone

Official translations make much more sense.
Deku legit denies that he's gonna go @ shinsou quirkless.
Much better.
On the other hand, ochako is still calling monoma's ofa a bluff, which is still a bit odd imo.

can we get more of the MHA AU i love the concept so much like MC just being this scrunkly little thing and then summons an entire monster from the SCPverse to protect them
for those who don't know, this is an AU where MC gets isekai'd into MHA and has a summoning SCPs quirk. this is a bit on the longer side
-
Living without a roof over your head has not been a fun experience.
It's a struggle to even get food some days. Ever since you've been swiped from your home universe and into this eccentric one, life's been excruciatingly difficult. Not to mention the fact that your body has been regressed into your younger years. And, for some ungodly reason, you have the ability to conjure anomalies. From the SCP Foundation. At your beck and call.
It took a while to convince yourself that this wasn't a fever dream.
You've been getting by, at least. You may have the body of a child right now, but your mind is that of a young adult.
Today, after much guilt tripping, you managed to convince a cashier to give you some food for free. You're thankful that you haven't had to resort to stealing yet.
Grocery bag in hand, you start to make your way home. Home as in your makeshift cardboard box placed in a random alleyway.
You're content with the meal you're able to bring home today. So content that you don't notice someone approaching.
The grocery bag sways in your grasp.
You blink, and your hand turns empty.
"Hey!" You yell at the thief, little legs running wildly to reach the man. "That's mine!"
He looks back at you, stopping in his place. "Look," his voice oozes of confidence. It only irritates you more. "I don't have time for you, kid."
"Yes, you do!" You stomp over to him, stretching your arms to snatch your groceries back. "Give it back."
Laughter reaches your ears. "Give me one good reason why."
"I'll give you money," you bluff, "lots of it. My mom's a lawyer."
"A tempting offer." He hums. "Give it, then."
"Give me the food first," you reply, praying he doesn't notice your rugged, dirtied clothes that scream your mom is definitely not a lawyer.
He shrugs, and you find the grocery bag is back in your hands. Instantaneously, you make a break for it, running as fast as your legs can.
It's not enough. A blurry figure darts past you, and soon appears in front of you. It's the man, and his presence freezes you in place.
"Thought you could lie and get away, huh?" You gulp, feeling tears form. This young body is too fragile, damnit. You try to shove the tears back down your sockets.
"You're clever, I'll give you that." He steps forward, "But I have a quirk, you know?"
"Since you lied, I might just leave you a mark."
He reaches for his pockets, and a wire within you snaps.
He's grabbing his weapon.
Help.
You want help.
Please.
"An interesting situation you're in, dear."
A voice behind you.
The smiling mask leans in front of your vision. "Say, who is this man?"
"A bad one," you whisper. "A very bad man."
035's grin widens. "I see."
Black appendages burst from the ground. The thief doesn't even scream when they wrap and curl around his body and squeeze. His mouth opens, but his vocal chords have already decayed. There is no shout to hear, only the sizzling of skin and the man's frantic gurgling.
035 snaps his fingers, handing you back your groceries. "There you go. All dealt with." Your shoulders sag in relief. You move to thank him-
"Oh, and won't you be so kind to keep me here longer? I'd rather not be locked back in that dreary cell of mine."
"Fine. But I'm carrying the groceries."
"Isn't it heavy, dear?"
"You'd corrode the entire bag!"
"Fair point."
-
This is dangerous.
There's a villain lurking around the city. One with a powerful speed quirk, nonetheless.
Leaping into the air, All Might narrows his eyes, spotting a swift blur running in the streets.
Found him.
He pauses and squints. There's another figure next to the villain. Judging by their small figure, it's a ... child?
There's no hesitation when All Might bolts from his position. He has to get there fast.
Yet when he arrives at the scene, the hero is astounded by the sight before him.
A body, rapidly decomposing as a black ooze engulfs the villain. Unrecognizable of any human feature.
All Might anxiously scans his surroundings. The little kid, where are they?
He leaps into the air again.
He will be reporting this incident, he decides.

MHA Scenarios - First Meeting (Part 4)
Requests are still open as of this post.
Shigaraki
You hadn’t meant to cause that level of destruction. It was an accident.
But they hadn’t seen it that way.
Their words followed you even when they could not. You could hear the accusations ringing in your head whenever you used your quirk – for better, or for worse. It became easier to ignore as you slowly learned to stop caring.
Until your quirk went out of control again.
You woke up in a dark room with a pounding headache and exhausted limbs. The doctor who was looking after you (a man you were relatively certain had no actual medical knowledge) had gotten very close and asked how much you remembered. When you informed him that it wasn’t much, he had smiled.
“Well, you certainly drew attention to yourself,” he had laughed. “Perhaps you should consider yourself lucky that the heroes didn’t get to you first.”
“I guess so…”
Something warned you that this situation was more dangerous than it seemed. Your eyes drifted over the covered windows of the room and you stared at the door. “Why did you help me?”
“Well that’s hardly for me –“
He didn’t get a chance to answer before you dashed for the exit. The doctor’s quirk didn’t allow him to grab you and his alarmed shout was all you heard before you were darting down the hallway. You weren’t going to stick around and get experimented on.
You turned the corner, heart pounding in your chest. They must have given you something because you felt drowsy. The entire world was spinning.
But you had to nearly trip yourself up to avoid running directly into somebody as you sprinted down a different hallway.
This was hardly your first time dealing with villains and many of them had odd quirks, to say the least. It shouldn’t have shocked you to see somebody with a human hand on their face but maybe the medication was lowering your tolerance because it was terrifying.
“Who are you?” you snapped out, immediately on the defense. You took a step away, ready to run or fight, whichever seemed easiest.
The man didn’t seem too bothered by your snap at least; the one eye that you could see watched you steadily from behind his hand mask. “I’m sure you’re not meant to be running around here,” he said. “But you’re no hero so you must be here for your quirk. Do you still have it?”
Your heart skipped a beat.
It wasn’t unknown in the underground that there was a man who stole quirks he liked. Nobody knew what he did with them but it wasn’t unheard of for villains to wake up with nothing. And you would never get them back.
You could feel your quirk was still there. It pulsed under your skin like a warning.
“My quirk?” you repeated. “I have my quirk.”
You did a random gesture, summoning all of your past acting experience to appear horrified when nothing happened. Again and again you tried before looking around in shock and horror.
The guy bought it and he shrugged. “Then there’s no reason to stop you.” He brushed past you and continued walking. “Not like you could find the exit anyway.”
The moment he turned the corner, you dropped the act and bolted again. This place was a maze but you found the exit and avoided any encounters with a practiced ease. Before leaving, you looked back up at the building and grimaced, hoping to never see it again.
Toga
It was late at night when you had the strangest encounter of your life. Not that that was a bad thing necessarily but it was something that occurred, nevertheless.
You had been feeling quite exhausted from a long day of fun with your friends. They had headed off to get a cab when you had realised that you needed the bathroom and disappeared to go find one.
There was a public toilet not too far from the street though it certainly wasn’t as clean as you would have hoped. Not to be deterred, you slipped in and found a sight that, even to your exhausted mind was uncomfortable.
A girl stood in front of one of the mirrors, blood staining much of her face. It covered the counter beneath her fingers and seemed to be coming from her lip.
“Are you okay?!” you asked, panicked.
She looked up at you, startled. Her dark hair covered much of her expression but she seemed a little out of it. Maybe she got hit on the head or something.
“I –“ she paused, her voice croaky and sore. She brought her hand up to rub her throat. “I think so.”
“Just wait, let me help you,” you said. You rushed into one of the stalls and gathered up some toilet paper. “Do you need me to call somebody or?”
“No,” she said quickly. “No. Thank you.”
You offered some of the damp tissue to her and she started wiping it away from her mouth. While she dealt with that, you cleaned the blood that she had left on the counter, making sure to get it out of all the cracks in and around the sink. “What happened to you?” you asked. “Did somebody attack you?”
“I slipped,” she said. “The tiles are really slippery and I think that I hit my mouth on the sink. It’s all kind of blurry.”
“Don’t worry,” you said, digging through your bag and grabbing some headache tablets. You offered the bottle to her. “Take two of those just in case. Even if it doesn’t hurt now, you don’t want to wake up with a headache tomorrow.”
“Thank you,” she said. “Do I still have any blood on me?”
“Just on your jaw,” you pointed out. “Come on, my friends and I are getting a cab. We can call one for you also if you need.”
She took one last glance in the mirror before leaving. You had forgotten your own need for the bathroom and it was for good reason also. If you had hung around for a little longer, you may have seen blood trickling out from one of the stalls. Perhaps then you wouldn’t have been so worried about this stranger hitting her head.
“What’s your name?” you asked as you looked around for your friends.
“Toga,” the girl said, though she didn’t seem too happy with having told you. The words must have slipped out without her meaning to.
You gave her your own name and went up onto your toes to look around the crowd for your friends. Eventually you spotted them and waved but when you spoke to Toga, she didn’t respond.
She had disappeared into the crowd.
You went back into the bathroom and checked but she was long gone. Just like how the blood has escaped your notice earlier, you didn’t see the blonde watching you from the other side of the street, her head tilted a little.
Dabi
It was a rare day when you found yourself alone without at least one person to watch your back. You didn’t always need the protection but sometimes, it was nice to have.
But you had given your word and it wouldn’t do to back out of this now.
The building where everything had been organised was old and crumbling – its ancient nature hidden on the outskirts of the city and slowly becoming overtaken by countless plants. It wasn’t somewhere anybody with good intentions would find themselves.
You liked to think that your work was good. It benefitted many and took only from those who could afford to lose it. Unfortunately though, rules had to be broken for the best results, and sometimes what was classified as ‘wrong’ turned out to be needed in order to achieve a goal. It wasn’t quite in line with what you believed but it had to be done.
Did working with villains make you uncomfortable? Of course. But it was hardly going to be something that stopped you from moving forward.
The two members from the League of Villains that had been sent to meet you were both men. You didn’t bother with greetings, just holding up the briefcase that you held.
“I’m looking for a specific artwork,” you said. “I’ve been told that you might be able to help?”
“An artwork?” the one asked. He wore a white and black mask that concealed most of his face and an extremely gaudy costume.
“Not just an artwork,” you explained. “It has something of mine hidden in the canvas. Normally, I would just get the police involved but if they found it, it would be quite problematic for me. The group that stole it won’t listen to many but the League of Villains, I’m afraid. They have a few good quirks and they’re extremely cocky for it.”
“We’re not lapdogs,” the other man said. “Especially not for whatever agenda you’re pushing.”
“I don’t pay lapdogs,” you acknowledged. “Consider me a sponsor.”
Flames cackled into existence in his hand, surprising his colleague enough to jump a little. “Chances are, they’ve already found your thing. Even if they haven’t, the league can hardly go around picking fights with random gangs.”
“Shigaraki did ask –“
The masked man was cut off by a glare. Blue flames sent flickering light through the air as they waited patiently for your answer.
“If it’s already been discovered or if it happens to get damaged during the process, then I don’t plan on getting anything out of our deal. It’ll simply be a loss on my side.”
The flames slowly flickered out and you allowed yourself to breathe again. Confidence was a requirement for these deals but you didn’t quite have the nerves of steel that you portrayed. It was always a fight to keep your reactions in check.
“I guess if we happen to bump into the group, we can check around for your shit.”
You knew his bluff as well as your own. The League of Villains had always worked well with those who had money. They required funding and wouldn’t say no to being able to flex their reputation around the underground. It was almost needed with the way rumours were circulating.
It was less than a week after that encounter when you found your artwork sitting outside your home. Charred on the edges, it was damaged enough to make the art itself worthless. But your items inside were perfectly unharmed.
Not bad for your first time working alongside the League of Villains. It was worth the cost… you should do it more in the future.
Twice
When you had been called in for this job, you had no idea that it was going to turn into a fight of the magnitude you experienced.
Flames tore along the streets. They melted lamps and trapped hundreds inside buildings – the screams for help becoming almost deafening as you broke down yet another wall to get civilians out. It was the third building you had had to smash into and there were more yet.
Nobody could get out and, if they remained trapped, they wouldn’t survive much longer.
When your partner and you had realised you were dealing with the League of Villains, you had immediately called in the big guns. What you hadn’t realised was that doing so would result in a brawl of sorts in the streets. The League of Villains didn’t care about collateral and honestly, sometimes you wondered if the heroes did.
You were starting to overheat. The amount of fire swirling around was getting to you, drawing the breath from your lungs and slowing your movements. Its angry blue nature hinted at its abysmal nature.
The next building’s walls took even longer to get through but you managed it and a few people scrambled out. You ushed as best as you could although it was starting to get hard to speak.
But then you noticed a dark figure lying in one of the rooms
Outside, the fire roared and smacked against the walls but you couldn’t just leave somebody there. You stepped over the rubble and made your way to the figure.
It was hard to make out details with the flames. The heat seemed to be getting worse as you approached – soon identified as being caused by the gaping hole in the wall. It radiated around the room in waves. You covered your mouth and nose the best you could, creeping forward to reach where the person was.
When you arrived, it took you no time to recognise that you weren’t saving an unfortunate civilian but rather a member of the League itself.
You hesitated for a second before hooking your arms under his and beginning to drag him away from the danger. This was the type of thing that lost reputation for heroes. Civilians didn’t like seeing villains being rescued but you honestly didn’t care.
If he was left there, he was probably going to end up dying.
Though he had seemed unconscious, when you got him out of the building, he muttered something and moved. It was enough to make you jump back but he didn’t attack or anything. He just touched his face and then let his arm go limp again.
You moved back cautiously. His suit had been ripped on the one side, missing its arm and half of the torso. You checked his pulse, relieved to feel that it was still going, even if it was unsteady.
“Can you hear me?” you asked.
He didn’t respond and you reached up to remove his mask. His hand immediately snapped up to grab your wrist and you prepared to activate your quirk but all he did was push your arm away from his face.
Alright then. No touching the mask.
You bandaged the open wound on his side as best as you could. It looked like he had gotten launched through the building. Once he was as stable as he could be, you moved him to a safer area and jumped back into the fray. A ton of rescues later and the heroes had won, at the destruction of much property.
And, rather unsurprisingly, the villain you had saved was long gone.
Overhaul
There was a new drug running around the market. You had heard of a number of small-time villains taking it – most of them dying shortly after consumption. It wasn’t unheard of. If something had even the promise of a good time then it would attract thousands.
But what was a problem was that you had lost several of your newest underlings as a direct result of this drug.
Given how picky you were about hiring, this was going to be a problem.
You tracked the source to none other than the Shie Hassaikai. They were an old branch of the yakuza, sitting on the edge of a downward spiral into irrelevance. Rumors followed that their boss had fallen quite ill and now, it was only a matter of time until they fell completely on their faces.
So you didn’t feel too nervous when you approached the house that fronted their main base. Even with the members watching you from the bushes, you kept a straight line.
You weren’t unknown. It would do them a great disservice to attack you.
And they knew it.
You walked in the front door with absolutely no resistance and remained unsurprised when two masked men came out to greet you. They didn’t ask about your business or enquire as to who you were. Instead, they led you into a sitting room and gestured for you take a seat.
Instead of that, you walked around the room and picked up everything that looked interesting. Nothing was hidden around but you hadn’t expected there to be.
“Please don’t touch things without gloves on,” a smooth voice interrupted your curiosity. “Cleaning this entire house is rarely needed and I’d rather you didn’t change that.”
You turned around to find somebody considerably younger than you had expected for the head of the Shie Hassaikai. He wore their signature mask and a feathered coat, almost his entire body hidden in some way.
“Not a fan of germs?” you enquired.
“Not at all.”
You shrugged and made your way to the couch, sinking down into it. “Guess that means no drinks or anything? Oh well, that’s too bad.” You gestured for him to sit.  “So, you’re not who I was expecting.”
“You’ve never worked with our organisation before,” he said, sitting on the edge of the chair opposite you.
“No. You’re not in the same line of work as me and I don’t care too much about the Yakuza.”
“Then why are you here?”
You straightened, aware that you were about to get into the most dangerous part of the meeting. “Your drugs have been getting into my areas. Now, I don’t care all too much about how you distribute stock but it’s not just coming into possession of low-life criminals. My men are getting practically gifted it.”
His eyes narrowed. “We need to test it somehow. Besides, that sounds like a problem for you, no? Have better control of your men.”
“Keep your test tube shit out of my territories.”
A small staring contest took place – a test to see who would break first. You had been in almost a hundred of these over the course of your career. They didn’t bother you much at all in anymore.
Eventually he waved his hand through the air. “I guess we could stop supply to traders in your areas but this isn’t a charity.”
“I could kill your men.”
“But you would lose your own in the process. Wouldn’t it be easier to do this the peaceful way and maybe even establish a relationship between our two groups?”
“You have my attention. Don’t waste it.”
Kurogiri
There are those days when everything begins so well only to rapidly spiral into a situation out of your worst dreams. This was something like that.
You had gotten horribly caught in the crossfire of a battle between heroes and villains. It all occurred faster than you could have ever imagined – flashes of light and explosions of sound. People were screaming, the sound coming through a haze as you tried to get a grasp on what had happened.
Blood was trickling down your arm but you felt no pain. You slowly lifted your head. Something had hit you, you remembered that now as your brain caught up to the dull ache coming from your ribcage.
You tried to move, finding that you couldn’t. The ache became worse and a heavy, scraping sound interrupted your attempts to crawl away.
It was a piece of concrete, heavy and painful, pinning you effectively to the ground. A smaller chunk was holding it up and stopping you from being crushed. But if you moved too much…
You forced yourself to take a deep breath, nearly choking on the dust that filled the air. Maybe if you shifted slowly.
A crunching noise made you hiccup.
Alright, so that wasn’t going to work either. You strained your eyes to see through the carnage but you couldn’t make out any heroes. They would come eventually; you just had to wait patiently and try not to move too much.
The concrete seemed to get heavier still and you fought the desire to cry.
There was a crunching sound. You couldn’t just wait around.
Slow as you dared, you began to inch forward. The rough surface snagged at your clothing and made every centimeter feel like it was going to end with you crushed. Worse still, the more you moved, the more apparent the injury on your back became.
The blood that had been trickling down your arm was now creeping along your torso. It pooled in your clothes and made everything sticky.
You tried not to think about it but it made you light-headed regardless.
About half-way out, you spotted somebody nearby. It was just their silhouette but still, relief flooded your veins and you cried out desperately for help.
The figure made its way over to you, soon revealing that the man was almost entirely made of smoke. He wore a suit and tie but his body swirled as though only somewhat solid. Bright yellow eyes stared at you – any emotion behind them was completely unreadable.
His eyes traced your shape. “You’re not who I’m looking for.”
“Please help me. This thing’s going to crush me.”
He paused, the swirling darkness that made up his face shuddered as though it was unsure how to respond. “I should leave you here,” he mentioned. “You’re of no consequence to me or to my cause. If anything, I should add pressure to the piece of rubble and make sure the fatality numbers are higher.”
You caught of whimper before it could escape. “Please.”
His smoke shook again, almost as though he was struggling to keep hold of it. Then he raised a foot and placed it on the concrete.
You screwed your eyes shut and tried to imagine the best parts of life.
A loud horn blaring made you open them again and a surprised yelp escaped as you saw tires race past in front of you. People were shouting, their voices loud and nearby. Bright lights surrounded you and the air was clear once more.
The last thing you remembered seeing was a panicked nurse rushing over to you.

Thelreads, MHA 247, Replies Part 1
1) “Time for BNHA, Shigaraki went to the surgery table, and the kids are now being drafted to war. Things are gonna get serious, on Chapter 247: Status Report!”-
‘The villians are getting stronger at breakneck speeds- literally in Tomura’s case- and the kids have been given the task of getting stronger without realising that it’s literally life and death. Endeavour’s the one Hawks has chosen to be his contact inside the heroes which means everything rests on his ability to be a better teacher than he is a human being. Overall, not good. Possible escalation to alert level: Brown’.
2) “Oh, new volume, right. Pretty damn cool cover there, seems like the New Big Three will be the absolute focus of it. Oh, we’‘re in for some good stuff there…”- I like the insides of Midoria’s tricked-out new gloves glowing with Black whip’s green-dark energy, since he’s taken to focusing and shooting them out of those ‘ports’ when in hero costume. Since he showed that he can technically create Black Whip anywhere on his body, I guess having such an easily-usable target to pinpoint the ability’s emission from makes it easier for him to control when and where it leaves his body and how it should act when he’s got it out- though from the sounds of it, it’s too much force and not enough dexterity when he increases Black Whip to levels where he can actually grab objects like an extended limb, so he has to fine-tune he emission to the point it’s always manageable, whilst simultaneously doing the same for Full Cowling. 
Multi-taking is a strenuous process at the best of times, but with having so many cool new toys in his toolkit to use all at once, they’re actually more of a handicap to Izuku than a benefit right now, until he better masters the art of using them individually, then in tandem with each other in a pitched fight. In that regard, it’s lucky he unlocked a power that acts as a useful support to his physical fighting style, rather than a more destructive ability that would risk going haywire and causing massive damage if he loses control over it in a slip of focus.
3) “AND SHE’S SHARING A PAGE WITH IDA, WHO I ALSO LOVE AND IS ALSO REALLY COOL, SINCE HE’S A STONE-COLD CRIMINAL. COINCIDENTALLY THEY’VE BEEN ONE OF MY OTPs EVER SINCE THE SPORTS FESTIVAL, AND ALAS, HERE THEY ARE”- Iida is the perfect marketing patsy for Mei. All she had to do is spin him a sob story about how her babies needs mass market attention if they’re to save lives and he’ll put up with any ridiculous number of exercises to showcase their abilities, as long as it’s for the sake of helping others. You couldn’t find a better straight man if you tried.
4) “And we’re back at the Incineration Tower, where Endeavor is giving the news to the kids, although I doubt he’ll go into the details of why he decided to take them under his wing all out of sudden…”- Luckily, Shoto made it clear they were a package deal, so he didn’t have to bluff too hard as to his sudden change of attitude- plus, he does seem to be genuinely interested in helping improve Midoria’s growth in general, given how much the kid’s words ended up affecting him and realising that he’s a far better source of aid to Shoto than Endeavour himself could ever hope to be.
5) “Alright, so now he needs to know what the kids can do so he can properly help them improve. Shame he didn’t paid attention to it at the sports festival, even though those two kids fucking fought against Todoroki.”- In Fairness, Izuku has improved so drastically since then, and has unlocked so many new options thanks to the range of his improved connection to OFA, that he fights in a completely different manner, and not even he knows all that he can do in a fight. His classmates have gotten so used to him changing dramatically every time he’s off on an excursion like this, that none of the UA students batted an eye when he burst out Black Whip for the first time, except to comment in surprise over his new move. Asking for a baseline of what his new abilities and techniques are is the most effective way to figure out the areas he can focus on to improve himself dramatically in the shortest amount of time.
6) “Huh, okay, not only what they can do, he also wants to know what they hope to be able to do while working under them. He wants their input on how to properly guide their work study which… well, I must say, it’s a bit unexpected coming from him.”- They know themselves better than he knows them, especially since their quirks and abilities have thus far improved through their greater understanding of the particulars of how they work and what the limitations present in their powers and bodies are, so getting them to outline what each of them needs to work on to dramatically improve as a group lets him draft an overarching mission statement and lesson focus that can benefit them all at once. He might b sub-par as a hero and a person compared to All Might, but again, that was compared to All Might, who was in such a class of his own, that Izuku’s got years of hard work to get through before he’s ever close to starting to fill into hole the hole he left when he retired. 
Endeavour is actually a really effective and analytical hero, noticing and perceiving the world around him for irregularities where he can step in at a moment’s notice all the time, in part because he knew he could never do what All Might do so naturally, so his desire to surpass him drove him to try and achieve the same by thinking through things and working out how best to proceed to achieve the same or greater results. What one did as easily as breathing, he did by training, hard work and focus, and thus he knows the value of such and how important it is to get it right if you want to get closer to reaching that ‘idealised you’ in your mind’s eye.
7) “Midoriya wants to be able to unleash all his destructive potential without fearing losing control of it and hurting innocent people.”- Again, Izuku’s main issue isn’t becoming stronger, so much as it is gaining the focus and ease of access to his quirk’s usage that most kids his age build up naturally in kindergarten. He already has all the muscle he could ever need, now he needs to learn finesse more than anything, and his unique issue with having multiple powers leads directly into that, because its then multi-tasking finesse on top of each ability’s unique method of control. He’s managed to achieve synergy between his physical power and his body’s fighting condition, now he needs to achieve them same through not only Black Whip in its natural state, but also what happens to it when he amplifies it with OFA when used in tandem with Full Cowling.
8) “But the bone-breaking thing is not why he’s here. Sure, he still isn’t quite there on using it at 100% all the time, but there are, how do I put this… more pressing matters that he needs to take care of…”-  It’s probably a good thing that Hawks’ message made Endeavour more concerned with improving the kid’s performance rather than questioning the nature of his new abilities and how exactly his ‘side-effect’ works, otherwise Izuku would have had a harder time reasonably explaining how he ended up with Multiple abilities without being connected to AFO… well, I mean, he technically is, but in as much a good way as you can be when your power’s origins were rooted in the source of such malevolent evil.
9) “Oh that got his curiosity, but rather than caring about details of how exactly that works, he wants to know what this “secondary power” is capable of so he can figure out how to mentor on controlling it.”- Endeavour is a man of action, which means that he absolutely sucks at making public speeches to reassure others, but he excels when under pressure when lesser men would break. His message to reassure the public was basically ‘see what I do’ for a reason after all, and not just because he couldn’t think of a better line.
10) “That’s considerably longer than the last time he had to show it- Damn Midoriya, you definitely been practicing it on your own.”- I wonder if it’s as strong as one of his fingers, or can lift considerably more weight than it appears? The strength issue isn’t really Izuku’s focus, instead wanting to be able to use more on reflex, but I am curious how powerful these whips of his are on their own, and what possibilities he can unleash with them in combat on their own? There’s entire martial arts styles based around flexible weaponry like cloth or ropes, and Izuku’s whips are 100 times more flexible and powerful than those.

11) “OH DEAR GOD MIDORIYA
ALRIGHT, HE WENT FULL-IN ON THE EXPLANATION. ENDEAVOR TUNED OUT OF IT FIVE PARAGRAPHS AGO, I THINK THAT BAKUGO WILL HAVE TO GIVE HIM A LACONIC EXPLANATION ONCE OUR BOY RUNS OUT OF BREATH.”- I love the slight blurry effect around Midoria’s mouth, to indicate how fast he’s flapping his gums.
12) “OH MY GOD HE WAS PAYING ATTENTION
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, THAT WAS REALLY UNEXPECTED”- So…between the analytical mind-set, issues with their bodies being negatively affected by their quirks, sheer determination to win in a fight, no matter how mangled their bodies becomes or what long-term injuries they endure, focus on pushing themselves to achieve a goal that realistically should be out of their reach despite everybody else around them believing it’s impossible, trouble presenting a friendly face to the public, self-reflection issues brought about by recent life-changing events occurring around them that they are deeply involved in by the positions they inherited from All Might and the ways in which each has had a serious impact upon Shoto’s life and character development, it’s been shown that Endeavour is actually more similar to Izuku than he actually is to Bakugou, despite their anger issues and brash personalities.
It makes sense that he’s capable of keeping up with Izuku’s nigh-impossible to decipher info-dump of his abilities and strengths when he himself has been forced to be similarly self-analytical in order to better master his quirk and become number 1. In fact, I think it’s implied that beyond understanding how Important Izuku’s been to both him and his son’s recent development, he’s taken a special interest in Midoria because recognises a lot of himself in the younger hero, and knows exactly what kind of problems he’s going through, even if Izuku himself doesn’t yet realise how similar they actually are.
13) “Oh yeah, “comparable”… I’m surprised that you also didn’t connected the dots and thought that he was Might Jr. like Todoroki did, but alright, let’s see where this is going…”- Given his implied dislike of how that particular decision’s fallout affected his relationship with his family, it’d make sense for Endeavour to mentally shy away from such thoughts out of shame, whereas Shoto is a much more comfortable getting confrontational about any connections he sees because of how he was affected. In fact, Shoto going out and asking Izuku about his past could even be seen as a take on All Might’s statement about a true hero sticking his neck out to offer help even if it’s not wanted, given his traumatised mind-set back then automatically assumed Izuku was a shunned bastard child in a similar position to him.
14) “Huh… Thinking about it, Endeavor? You noticed how powerful this kid is, and how easily he can surpass All Might. If you train him well, he will be the next number one, not your son, but you don’t have a choice now, do you? There’s a war upon you, there’s no time for ambition.”- If he’s recognising how similar Izuku is to himself, he could see helping him out with his training as another way of atoning- helping out another kid with his self-same problems deal with those problems in the most efficient way to become a better hero, without succumbing to the same pitfalls and mistakes that Endeavour eventually made. 
And even if Izuku ends up becoming Number 1, with how Bakugou and Endeavour share a similar competitive streak, I don’t think he’d mind that outcome, given he’d like the idea of Shoto overcoming somebody with the real skills that he’d helped polish into becoming the top hero on his own merit and hard work, and such a competitor would be a grand goal for his son to strive towards in his own way, separate from Endeavour’s teachings unless he asks for help.
15) “wait what
what was that endeavor? What the fuck do you mean by that?
no you won’t get away scot-free WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU MEAN BY THAT-“-Even if his quirk is fundamentally different to Endeavour’s Fire powers, unlike the natural prodigy All Might, Endeavour knows full well the frustration and agony that comes with hitting your physical limits when trying to reach your goals better than anybody else, and how much relentless effort it takes to become better and push your boundaries just a little bit further every time. He knows what hurdles Izuku has to overcome because he faced them and tried his hardest to overcome them in his own way- it’s when his absolute efforts failed to overcome the sheer power of All Might that he wound up taking the wrong path, but even then, Endeavour’s efforts to better himself were not, strictly speaking, on their own a bad thing. 
It’s when he allowed his desire to overcome his reason that he made the irreversible errors he did, and how he has to live with the consequences- but he knows already that Izuku is a naturally better person than him, and won’t fall to those same lapses in judgement down the line, so he can at least provide him with the right training needed to best overcome his own weaknesses in the shortest amount of time, especially since they’re all on the clock.
16) “Bakugo never had to learn new things because he was always a natural, he always could do anything, so, now that reality kicked his teeth in more than once, he needs to learn the things he can’t even imagine that he needs to know”- ‘I Know enough to know that I don’t know everything’ doesn’t seems like a useful mind-set to apply to a training regimen, but for a hard-working Ace like Bakugou with his monstrous ego problems of the past, having the humility to accept that there’s parts of yourself that need to be improved, even if you can’t tell what they are without outside aid, is already a massive step forward for him.
17) “Oh yeah I love this woman, she’s an absolute gremlin and she made her life mission to annoy Bakugo at every possible moment of his brief stay at this agency.”- With her flaming hair, and sheer joy in irritating Bakugou, she’s basically the spark that threatens to ignite his explosive temper at every turn.
18) “Yeah see, he got through his skull that might doesn’t make right, and that being the strongest one around won’t make him the best super hero. If he wants to be on top, he needs the skills that he lacks.”- It’s also a veiled dig/challenge at Izuku, as shown when he notices Bakugou pointing out that he’s only got ‘one power’, but he can still do anything he wants to with it. 
Tumblr media
In contrast to Izuku, whose deck is now absolutely loaded with Powers and options and the guarantee that, bare minimum, he’ll be a stronger hitter than even All Might in his prime, Bakugou only has the one ability, but he’s got the confidence in himself to point out to Izuku that, even with the odds agaisnt him like that, Bakugou’s still determined to in beat him to become the number 1 hero. However, he doesn’t want Izuku to disgrace the power of the man they both admired the most, especially now that it’s unfathomably better than it was before with multiple powers in tow, so Izuku needs to hurry up and master the quirk fully so Bakugou and he can compete to their full strength and he can overcome Izuku at his top form, without any excuses like he’d not fully mastered his quirk’s potential.

Not Scared of You, but Scared-Midoriya
Tumblr media
Main Masterlist MHA Masterlist
+Everyone knows how Midoriya is a sweet little puppy most of the time. But most know that he can get scary when he is angry, prime example: UA Sports Festival. One person he has never let his anger out around directly is Y/N. One day, she witnesses it first hand and Midoriya doesn’t realize until later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laughter filled the common room as Sero and Jiro were done with a karaoke performace. Jiro was good as always but Sero was messing up on purpose. Kaminari was laughing so hard I thought he was going to short circuit. Even Bakugo was smiling a bit.
“Alright, alright. Okay whose next?” Mina got up and aske. I finally caught my breath and turned to look at Midoriya behind me. I was sitting on the floor in front of him. He had his head propped up on his arm, staring off into space.
“Hey, you okay?” I asked. He took a bit to answer but only gave me a questioning hum as a response. He lifted his head to look at me. I turned around completely laying my arms across his lap before reaching up to trace the side of his face. He closed his eyes, pressing into my fingertips ever so slightly. “You okay there, honey?’”
“Yeah I’m fine.” He whispers, kissing my fingertips before looking away again. I cocked my head to the side in wonder. He normally never acts like this, at all. I set my head against his knee and stared up at him. I saw his eyes look at me for a second before his hand went to my hair and began running through it.
“L/N, how about youuuu… Nope, you’re busy. Moving on.” Mina called for me but decided against it. I closed my eyes and relaxed, enjoying the soft moment.
“Oi!” Bakugo yelled out in his usual annoyed tone. I inwardly groaned. “This is getting boring and a little annoying.” Everyone started to whine, saying they were having fun and that he was a party pooper. “Oh, can it you…”
“Oh will you give it a rest Kacchan. Everyone else is having fun so if you’re bored, go ahead and find something to do on your own. There’s the door or elevator.” The whole room went quiet. I looked up at Midoriya surprise.
“Baby…”
“What did you say to me you Shitty Deku?!” Bakugo was on his feet in less the than a second. Midoriya’s hand stilled in my hair. I saw anger flare in his eyes even though he didn’t make a move to look at Bakugo.
“I said there’s the door.” He repeated. My worry from earlier tripled. I looked back at Bakugo seeing him seething.
“Listen here you shitty nerd, I don’t know what got you all brave and shit but I ain’t having it. You don’t call the shot around here.”
“And neither do you Kacchan!” Midoriya was up on his feet in an instant. I jumped back as fast as I could but tumbled a little. Hands caught me as I nearly fell back. I looked up to see Kiri and he pulled me back more, away from the two.
“Bros, how about we calm this down a notch?” He tried but the two ignored him. They continued to argue, getting louder and louder. I knew Midoriya could get mad from stories the others told me but I had never seen it firsthand. They were right when they said it rivaled Bakugo’s.
“You know what Bakugo, I can’t stand you right now. I just want to…I’m gonna…”
“What Deku? You’re going to do what?” Bakugo yelled back crossing his arms over his chest. He was smirking, thinking he caught Midoriya in a bluff.
“Midoriya, baby. I think you need to cool off.” I tried, getting on my knees to reach forward and grab his hand. He exploded in that moment.
“No!” He flung his hands out. I jumped back to avoid being hit. I landed against Tsuyu, who pulled me into her side. Midoriya blew up, ranting about I don’t even know what anymore. I was so blindsided by the shock that I stopped listening. I only came back to when Tsuyu, Uraraka, and Kiri were trying to get my attention.
“What?” I asked looking around. Midoriya was gone but Bakugo was still there, quietly seething but when he looked at me, I saw a slight bit of worry in his eyes.
“Are you okay?” Uraraka asked.
“Yeah, you seemed to zone out there for a few minutes.” Kiri said, brushing hair out of my face and checked me over.
“Yeah, yeah. I just was…surprised. I have never seen him act like that.” My voice got quieter as I finished my sentence. I stood up and brushed off me pants. “Where did he go?”
“Out for a run.” Tsuyu told me.
“But you better give him time to cool off.” Bakugo chimed in, surprising me. “He is really riled.” He said before turning to leave in the elevators. The whole mood had shifted drastically in the room.
“I think I am going to go to bed.” I said softly before leaving the room without another word. I got up to the 4th floor and began to walk to my room.
“Hey.” I stopped and saw Bakugo. I looked at him in question.
“What are you doing here? In the girls wing?”
“I wanted to tell you that Deku…ahhh!” He huffed before looking at me intently. “Have you ever wondered why you never saw him angry before? No? Well it’s because he never wanted you too! He was always pretty good at keeping you away from him when he is angry but I don’t know what was up with him tonight. He seemed to forget that or something.”
“Yeah.” I looked down at the ground.
“Don’t let it bother you or whatever. He’ll always be the same shitty Deku.” He grumbled before leaving. I sighed before walking into my room. I didn’t turn on the lights, letting my teal string lights glow lead my way to the bed. I plopped down, throwing my arm over my eyes.
“What in the world…” I whispered before getting under the covers and drifting off.
*Next Day*
“And you have to basically read between the lines, Kaminari.” I explained while reading over the part of the homework he was having trouble with.
“Why does English have to be so hard?” He groaned. I chuckled but shrugged. “But I have to admit, you helping me is better than when Baku helps. He normally is hitting me over the head within the first few minutes.”
“Oh, do you think it will help?” I rolled up my magazine. He yelped and dramatically held up his arms. We both started laughing.
“Hey darling.” I heard Midoriya say behind me before kissing my cheek. I jumped and looked at him before down at the table.
“Hi baby.” He hummed and walked over to speak with Iida. I could feel Kami’s eyes on me.
“Are you that shaken up over last night?” He asked softly. I looked at him before looking back at his work. “You nearly jumped mile…”
“Kami.” I looked up at him. He looked at me with sympathy before nodding. He turned back to his book. Bakugo plopped down on the other side of Kami with his own homework. He looked at me before at Midoriya. He raised an eyebrow in question. I just looked back the magazine. He sighed.
A little while later, the two boys left to go do some training. I had switched to reading a book as other’s left the room to do their own things. I didn’t realize how many people had left until I felt someone sit next to me. I looked up to see Midoriya. He was smiling at me. I gave him a smile back.
“Good book?” He asked. I nodded, sitting up slowly. I marked my place and set it aside. I set my hands in my lap.
“How was your day?” I asked. He smiled wide.
“Better than yesterday for sure.” He chirped. “Todoroki and I trained early this morning before he insisted on us going and getting Soba for the umpteenth time this week. Before we came back to relax for the day.” He cheerfully explained. “But then Mineta of course came along but we went whoop and…” He threw his arm out in front of him as he raised his voice. I flinched slightly and he noticed immediately, freezing. “Darling? Are you okay?”
“Y-yeah, I’m fine.” I said while grounding myself. His eyes looked me over before looking at his raised arms and back. His eyes glazed over for a second before they began to glisten with tears.
“You’re scared of me.” He said simply, lowering his arms into his lap. “Because of last night.”
“Midoriya, baby.” I started but he stood up.
“I’m such an idiot. I never wanted you to see me like that.” He wrung his hands through his hair roughly. “I scared you. You’re scared of me. I, I, I…”
“No, no. I was just spooked…shocked.” I said getting up. He shook his head before looking at me. He had tears running down his face. I went to say something but he ran off before I could. “Midoriya!” He ran out of the dorms.
“What’s wrong, L/N?” Uraraka came up running up with Iida.
“He ran off because he thinks I’m scared of him. After last night.” I said strained. “I was just spooked. I had never seen him like that, it’s new. Strange but I’m not scared!! I’m concerned!” I stopped in my tracks. “I’m not scared.” I said more to myself.
“L/N?” Iida called to me.
“I have to go.” I said taking off after Midoriya. I ran down the sidewalks, hunting for my missing boyfriend. I ran past classmates, asking if they had seen him. A couple had seen him but not sure where he went. I was getting really worried when Bakugo came running up.
“What happened?” He asked, breathing heavy. “Did he find out your reaction to him? That you’re scared?”
“I’m not scared Bakugo. I’m concerned. Worried. Something is wrong and that’s what made him blow up last night. You only ignited the fuse which you are very good at doing by the way.” I sassed. His eyes narrowed.
“Why you…” He stopped himself before he looked at me again. “Come on, I know where he went.” He said before grabbing my hand and pulling me along. He ran us out of the school grounds and down the street. We ran for a while before we came across a piece of shore line. “He’ll be down on the beach.”
“Thanks Bakugo.” I said before running off.
“Whatever!” He yelled. I ran down the steps and into the sand. I looked around for my green haired boyfriend overlooking the water. I caught sight of him on the rocks. I ran, slipping in the sand. I got to the rocks and clambered up them.
“Midoriya!” I called out to him. He whipped around. He tried to get up but I was on him, hugging him from behind. “Please don’t run from me Izuku.” I whispered into the back of his neck. He was tense in my arms.
“But I scared you.” He whimpered. “I promised I would never…”
“You didn’t scare me Izuku.” I said. I felt him shake. “Okay, I was scared in the moment because it was new. You didn’t scare me, the situation scared me. I was, no am more concerned for you. You were off last night before it happened and then you blew up.”
“I know.”
“I promise, I’m not scared of you. I am just worried.” I moved to sit next to him, my back to the water. “What’s wrong?”
“Noth…” He cut short at my stare. “Alright, alright. I am just stressed and tired and I don’t even know what else. I am just…” He dropped his head in his hands. I could hear him sniffling. I reached up and pulled his head up. I rubbed my thumbs over his cheeks.
“Come here.” I said. He latched onto me in the next second, crying into my shoulder. “You’re pushing yourself to hard, Izuku. I have never seen you so out of it like you were last night. I know you fight with Bakugo a lot but that was something else entirely. You need to slow down. Please.”
“I know. I will, I promise.” He whimpered. I started humming some random song to calm him down. After a few minutes he had finally stopped crying. In the time, he had curled into a ball in my lap. He looked up at me with watery eyes and a small smile. “How did you find me, by the way?”
“Just a friend giving me a tip and a direction to go.” I said while running my finger through his curls. I felt him relax in my lap. We just sat there for a while listening to the waves, the birds, and each other’s breathing. At some point we adjusted to where we were cuddling.
“It was Kacchan, wasn’t it?” He said suddenly causing me to laugh. “It was, wasn’t it?! Haha, I knew he cared!” He cheered, fist pumping the air. I laughed at my boy as he did a happy dance. I just shook my head as he turned back into his normal self.

HI! I'm a huge fan of your MHA fics, I think you're an amazing writer and I really love your work! Hope you're doing okay and I wanted to ask you... You've got a couple of MHA AUs going on right now and in the past, so, do you have a favorite MHA that you made? Is there an MHA AU that you love but haven't talked about yet? Thanks for your time, have an amazing day!
Aw thank you darling this means a lot to me!
It’s always so hard to choose between my babies. My favorite AU I’ve got running right now though would probably be a toss up between 3 of my AiDeku AUs: Treat You Better, Scarves & Whiskers, and The Boyfriend Bluff.
Might catch flack on and off over the pairing by people who don’t take the time to check the actual AUs out, but I think the worlds I’ve been building in those AUs are all fun and funny and make a lot of sense overall. They’re just a joy to work with.
I do have a few ideas I haven’t put out there yet but it’ll happen sooner or later.

BNHA Chapter 328 Quick Spoiler Analysis: From the USA to Japan
Ok, I’m gonna make this weeks analysis kinda quick because it’s been a really crappy week for me and I mainly wanna rest.  Anyway, this was another exposition chapter that is pretty much setting up the final battle:
The chapter goes to a month ago when Tartarus had it’s prison break.  Stain is the focus for the first third of the chapter.  He first takes out a sexual predator who wanted to get close to women again *ugh*.  Thank you for that, Stain.  I don’t condone killing, but yeah.
Stain then finds all the Tartarus guards dead except for one who is barely alive and hanging onto the chip containing the security info from Tartarus.  Isn’t Shishikura’s (Meatball boy from Shiketsu) dad a guard at Tartarus?  That’s one of the reasons he chose Shiketsu; the uniforms are similar to the prison guard uniforms.  I think that was in the Ultra Analysis book.  Oh god, I wonder if he died in this?  That would be our first hero parent death in the series I think.  Nana doesn’t really count since she was a figurative mother to All Might. 
So, Stain escapes with every other villain put in Tartarus and takes the chip to All Might since All Might is the only one Stain trusts.  Yeah, that checks out.  The LoV are no longer associated with him and Stain’s been a lone wolf for a majority of his villain career.  So, who to turn to than the man he considers the true hero?
Flash forward to after All Might recieved Stain’s info, Detective Tsukauchi and his team return for this chapter and damn, they look tired.  But, Tsukauchi looks good somehow?  His eyes are tired, but he’s grow a bit of a beard and his hair is kinda messy.  It’s kinda attractive ngl.  When all this is over and if he survives, I think Tsukauchi should keep this look minus the tired eyes.  It’s a good look on him.
So, All Might and Tsukauchi explain that AFO and Shigaraki were able to communicate via the Radio Waves Quirk and via a spiritual link between them similar to OFA and All Might.  The big difference being that AFO and Shigaraki can communicate with each other both ways while OFA and All Might can only communicate one way as we’ve seen before.  We, the readers, saw this ourselves during the war arc, but it looks like our finally figuring this out too.
So, the AFO has a psionic Quirk that can also use communication.  Tartarus caugh that communication and says that there are 38 days until Shigaraki’s completion.  That is SO MUCH shorter than the 2 months we were told.  Turns out the 2 months thing was a bluff told to the heroes to throw them off.  AFO really is playing 4D chess that clever, evil bastard.
And because days have passed since that communication single was picked up, WE NOW HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT UNTIL SHIGARAKI’S COMPLETION!  3 DAYS HOLY SHIT!  So much for having Deku rest for a good week.  Boy’s barley been able to sleep and eat and now we’re even closer to the endgame than we thought.  Horikoshi is REALLY speedrunning this shit.
So, onto the international heroes!  What looks like the MHA version of the UN comes together to address the message All Might sent out to ask for international help.  Of course, because it’s All Might, it’s an important deal.  The international governments are unsure about this since having their respective heroes absent means crime will go up in their respective countries.  That makes sense, I guess, but I’d figure these countries would have a lot of back-up heroes to keep the country safe.  Japan needs powerful heroes, but they don’t need everyone I think.
Anyway, some international heroes do appear and some of them are from the 3rd movie!  The Egyptian one and the Lion one who’s names escape me.  So, the 3rd movie is cannon like the last 2.  Makes sense that Horikoshi would want to tie them into the main story somehow.  I wonder if this means we’ll get to see Rody and Pino in the main story too one day.  Horikoshi did mention wanting them in there, so there’s hope!
All the international heroes want to go out and help All Might in Japan.  While some are raring to go, the USA’s is already on her way.  She’s America’s top hero, Stars and Stripes!   Not only is she pretty and stacked, but she’s basically mix of All Might and Captain America in terms of patriotism.  Like goddamn that is America’s woman O_O.  She also refers to All Might as her “Master”.  Like, WHAT???  Did All Might train her while he was in the States for a while?  How long did they know each other there?  WHY HAS ALL MIGHT NEVER MENTIONED HER BEFORE?  HOLY FUCK WHAT IS DEKU GOING TO SAY? “YOU HAD ANOTHER PUPIL ALL MIGHT?  WHAT THE HELL?  I COULD’VE TAKEN NOTES ON THIS?” ALSO WHAT IS HER QUIRK I NEED TO KNOW?!?!?
I think she’s cool and it’s nice to see other heroes outside of Japan enter the fray.  Though I have already seen people complain about her.  Like “Why are we bringing America into this?” amongst other things.  I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate and say that Horikoshi is doing this because he loves American comics.  Marvel and DC comics stem from America and Horikoshi is very much inspired by those works it’s evident throughout the entirety of BNHA even during the recent chapters.  So, this is less of Horikoshi bringing in American politics into the story and more of him wanting to honor American comics more.  Though, I am aware that  I could be proven wrong sometime in the future.
End of chapter!  International heroes in Japan is going to be interesting.  Though, the fact that we have only 3 days left closes the time gap greatly.  Not only are we even closer to endgame, but we are most likely at the end of April AND WE’RE MISSING BAKUGO’S IN-STORY BIRTHDAY D:!  How dare we???  Damn you, Horikoshi.  We better see an extra with the kids at least trying to celebrate something.
Me finding out that we only have 3 story days left until the final battle begins:

Mariemaia hoists herself out. Her feet slip on the smooth floor and gooseflesh erupts on her arms and back. She climbs onto the block and wiggles her feet against the gritty texture. A couple deep breaths, back arched, legs bent, and toes dug in. Her eyes narrow as she moves her arms into position. “One-”
“Go.” His voice startles her and she does a half jump, landing in the water in an undignified mess. She resurfaces and he gestures for her to resume her position. “Lady Une says you’re on the swim team, you shouldn’t be scared to jump in. Go when I say go.”
“I go when I want to go,” she growls. She isn’t sure how she feels about Lady Une telling others about her activities. Especially him. She resumes position though.
“Not if you want to win.” Her shoulders stiffen. “Loosen up. Go.”
All Mariemaia wants is to be left alone while she practices her swimming and tries to survive the school year. She doesn’t know why she’s surprised that doesn’t happen - it’s not like the universe has been on her side in the past. Especially when it comes to meddlesome Gundam pilots.

His first knock was met by the door opening immediately. Five looked... well, honestly, Treize would have jumped that in a heartbeat, money or no money. He was shorter than Treize by a few inches, hair rumpled, pillow lines on his face. "He's definitely going to kill me," Five sighed, and moved to allow Treize to step into the room.
Treize waited until he closed the door, and then closed the space between them, setting hands curiously at Five's waist to see how immediately receptive he was. His pajamas matched, soft silk, worn a little and softened in a way that told him it wasn't an affectation. "He won't have to know. Hello."

Rolling over hurt. Wufei gave a grunt of sound, body aching even as he forced his eyes open to a ceiling that he didn't recognize. It was white with no embellishments, no gold flake, nothing, and adrenaline hit his bloodstream, forcing him up more quickly than was good for him.
He didn't know where he was. The windows were tall and arched, the walls were a soft blue, and the floor looked to be wood, natural and well-waxed. A chair pulled up to the side of the bed, a pillow and a blanket piled into it, and he could distantly hear classical music.
Wufei wasn't in his room, and he wasn't in any room in the brothel. Wufei wasn't even sure as to precisely when he should start panicking, but the best answer seemed to be any second now.
