My Hero Academia World Headcanons

- The 20% quirkless stat represents the total living population.  Izuku’s generation is only 4-5% quirkless.

- With the rise of quirks came a renaissance in practical effects for films and tv shows.  Studios sometimes have entire departments dedicated to finding people whose quick can generate a specific effect.

- There are a bunch or quirk-specific sports: telekinetic ball games, flight races, beam matches, etc.  The most popular is power dance/show quirks: a choreographed routine set to music in tandem with a quirk.  A lot of hero school dropouts find fame there.

- Since most people aren’t allowed to use their quirks on a day to day basic, special gyms exist where people can practice and/or blow off steam.  Some are more general open areas resistant to most forms of damage, while others cater to specific quirks.

- Regular criminals and villains have an official destination.  Anyone who breaks the law is a criminal, but if they use their quirk to do it they’re classified as a villain.  The terms are used interchangeably in casual speech however.

- Behind closed doors, quirk marriage isn’t as frowned upon in some parts of the hero community as it probably should be.

- Hero laws vary from country to country, so most can’t do work outside the borders of their own countries.  The process by which one acquired permission to work in more than one country also varies.  Some have application processes that anyone can sign up for, others are granted by government committee.  Some counties have agreements for a lincense to be viable across their borders.  All Might once had permission to work in over 100 countries.

- American and Canadian Hero courses don’t start proper until college with a few exceptions, but they’re some of the best in the world.  Literature classes about comics are required.

- Unicorns exist.  Some guy found a horse with a horn quirk and bred it.  Only the richest of the rich can own them but they exist.

- In addition to specialty housing that exists in most major population centers, there are several planned communities for people with specific quirks scattered around the world.  There’s a city of giants in the American desert.  Multiple communes of tiny/shrinking people in rural areas.  Nocturnal towns where business hours are reversed.  Some millionaire probably bought a bunch of wilderness where people with animal quirks can pay to go buck wild.

- Similarly...

What if, somewhere down the line (not heaping too much angst on my faves at once, given all the chaos happening now), Izuku catches pneumonia really bad, enough that he’s coughing up blood mixed with phlegm. Toshinori tries to comfort his kid, but when he looks at Izuku all he can see is his precious student with a face just like his own, pale and drawn with deep shadows under his eyes and /hacking up blood, oh God/, and something /twists/ in Toshinori’s insides and he is absolutely /terrified/.

You see you know what’s up.  There are so many sick fics that’s like cute sniffles and cuddling.  I need some pain dammit.

- It starts like a basic head cold.  Izuku’s nose is running and his throat is sore.  It’s fine enough that he can suck it up for class the first day but it gets bad fast. The others basically force him back up stairs the second morning.

- Recovery Girl sends Toshinori to the dorms with some soup and cough medicine.  He’s the one person whose authority goes unquestioned by the problem child, so he might actually take care of himself if All Might tells him.  He also brings a laptop stuffed with movies and shows they can watch.

- And they spend the second day doing just that, no problem.

- The third day is where the turn hits.  Coughing can be heard from the common room.  It’s clear as soon as Toshinori steps in the room that Izuku didn’t sleep at all.  There’s dried tear tracks on his face from exhausted, frustrated crying.  He’ pale and has a fever but it’s not dangerously high.  So Toshinori gets him an ice pack to go with his medicine, and the day is spent with quiet story telling in between naps.

- They don’t make it to the fourth morning.  Toshinori gets a stream of incoherent texts from Izuku just before midnight.  Another clearer text from Aoyama confirms that something is wrong.  So Toshinori rushes over.  Izuku is hunched over, sweating like he’s being roasted alive, and choking like a dying animal.  Between hoarse gasps he says his head hurts so much he can’t see straight.  Toshinori calls back to the concerned students in the hall to call Recovery Girl and tell her he’s taking Izuku to the hospital.

- Both mentor and student are as calm as they can be in the circumstances until Izuku spits out something red as he’s being carried to the parking lot.  Izuku panics, hacking out apologies and questions about what’s happening through bloodied teeth.  Internally, Toshinori isn’t doing much better.  Of all the people who don’t deserve to know what their own blood tastes like, Izuku lease of all.  He holds him tighter and picks up the pace, whispering apologies of his own while trying to suppress tears.

- That lasts until the car.  Izuku tried to swallow the blood, but it just made him sicker until he threw it all up.  Luckily, one of the other kids brought them a bucket before they took off.  Not that it helps the pain.  Both Izuku and Toshinori are crying by that point.  The latter has his arms around the former, holding him close and rubbing circles in his back and shoulder.  He whispers that he needs to let it come up or he’ll choke.  He knows from experience.  Experience that his precious boy should never have.

Give me Dad Might or give me death

Gonna do a specific scenario again…

- All Might invites Izuku to his main agency in Tokyo at some point.  He says they need to talk about One for All and he can’t make it back to campus or something, but really he knows how much Izuku would fanboy over the joint.

- The tower is massive and the first few floors are open to the public, so it’s packed.  Izuku is already vibrating before he walks in the door.  He recognizes every piece of memorabilia on display, and gets a bit distracted looking at everything.  To the point that All Might himself comes down to ask the front desk if they’ve seen him.  The crowd doesn’t recognize him.  At first.

- When they do they swarm.  Where once he could hold his own against the onslaught or jump away, he now needs security to keep him from being trampled.  He catches sight of Izuku at the edge of the commotion, and beckons him to the front.  All Might introduces Deku, the hero who never gives up, one of UA’s top first years.  Then they disappear upstairs.

- They end up staying all day.  They talk and eat lunch in All Might’s office on the top floor and talk for hours.  Then they go for the grand tour.  There’s a small training room, an employee-exclusive restaurant, and a show floor of products.  All Might tells almost every employee they stop to talk to that they’ll be working for Izuku, who blushes and doesn’t say much.

- Later in the day, for traffic eases up and they check out the museum on the lower floor.  In the middle of one of the rooms is a display dedicated to Nana.  There’s a case with her costume in it, surrounded by photos, newspapers, and quotes.  It’s not very big, All Might explains, because heroes didn’t get as much media attention back then.  He also maligns that whenever he comes down to watch the crowds in disguise, not many people stop to read about her.  Then Izuku goes up, and takes the time to read and study everything closely.  All Might finds a bench nearby and waits with a smile on his face.

- He also slips a yet unreleased action figure into Izuku’s backpack when he’s not paying attention.

Do ya have any Shinsou headcanons? Thank you!!

Yes but only a couple:

- Has an incredibly popular social media account dedicated to his family cat.  Refuses to reveal himself as a UA student as it ma6 influence his reputation.  He wants to gain his own fan base.  He still cried when he wasn’t allowed to bring his cat to the dorms.

- Has an okay, but not great situation at home.  His dad remarried, and he doesn’t get along much with his step-mom or step-siblings.  They’re all pretty extroverted, and he’s just a stick in the mud.

- Sass master.  The other gen ed kids joke that always having the perfect comment to send the room reeling is a secondary quirk.  Though he’s a little nervous to do it around Aizawa or the other hero kids; the rumors about how strict the hero course is still permeate and he doesn’t want to risk his spot.

- I feel like I’ve mentioned this before, but he takes notes on people he meets in a similar way to Izuku, but for their personalities rather than quirks.  He keeps records of little facts and anecdotes that he could use to prompt someone to speak in a fight.  Though he is much more secretive about it.

- Eri tagged along to more than one of his training sessions with Aizawa.  She mostly kept to herself and just colored or something while they trained.  But one day, Aizawa got called away from something, and had him watch her.  It was mostly quiet at first, but he eventually hunkered down and joined her.  They talked, he showed her videos of his cat, and laughed at her terrible toddler jokes.  But the jokes on him, because Aizawa was there the whole time, listening in.  It was a test.  Heroes need to save not only bodies, but hearts.  Aizawa wanted to make sure the apathetic front Shinsou puts up was just that.

Have any hc about Toshinori and his chronic health issues? How does he adjust to being disabled? Maybe some angst about his declining health or body image issues?

- I’d like to think that Toshi was pretty diligent with managing his body and health in the first year after his injury.  All the research he did said that there was nothing to stop him from living a full and healthy life without a stomach and part of his lungs.  But as the realization of Nighteye’s prediction set in, he prioritized doing as much work as he could with what time he had left rather than working to extend it. 

- Going from a mountain of muscle to a scarecrow doesn’t happen over night.  The transition was gradual, so much so that Toshi didn’t really notice until several months in.  He had to go to some fancy event, and decided to where an old suit he hadn’t touched in a while.  It hung loose from his body like a sail on a mast.

- He got more reclusive in his private life as time went on, even with the people who knew about his time limit.  It was hard to put himself in front of people who’d known him throughout his prime as he was now.

- For his diet, he tended to stick to the minimum effort meals to keep himself fed.  He wasn’t cutting corners on calories or skipping meals, but he didn’t put much effort into finding creative or better-tasting dishes.  That time was better spent elsewhere.

- The worst part for him personally was having to time out the use of his powers.  He hated the feeling of walking by an issue in progress and running through the mental math of whether it was a good investment of his time.  It made him feel cruel and cynical, like the fame-seekers who calculate their involvement based on the acclaim it would net them, something he swore he would never become.  Plus, Toshinori genuinely loved being a hero, so being tethered by his own health was a crucial blow to his happiness. 

- Then there was the fact he couldn’t use his quirk casually anymore.  Before, he might have gone for a run across buildings after the work day or use his day off to leap in a certain direction to see where in the country he’d end up.  Even carrying heavier purchases up to his apartment became an exercise in time management.  Someone wielding the power of the gods in one moment probably felt helpless when they turned back into a mortal the next.

- Being around Izuku helped him a lot.  For one, seeing the kid’s dedication and progress on the beach reminded him just how much can be accomplished even without powers.  He also felt inspired to actually try those recipes after he heard the boy talking about them.  But the biggest boost was how Izuku’s behavior around him didn’t change when Toshinori changed forms.  Skinny or heroic, Izuku’s face would light up almost every time they made eye contact.  More than once, Toshinori returned home after a day of teaching, and paused in front of the mirror.  And he’d remember his boy.  “I’m still me.”

I read your headcanons & absolutely loved them. I squealed w/delight & cried from feels. Now I ask if you have any headcanons regarding a Dad for One au, especially the idea of AFO turning Izuku's bullys into nomus.

Thanks I’m glad you like my product.  Most of my headcanons exist to help me write my fan fictions and the only one I have planned with Dad for One has it as a fairly minor point so this au isn’t something I’ve spent a lot of time on.  But I’ll do my best.

- All for One decided he wanted a child on a whim.  He’s over two hundred years old, and a child was something he never tried before.  Strike that, he wanted an heir, not a child.  He wanted an extension of himself to wield with the rest of his tools, not another person to raise into an individual.  Was that not how the wielders of his brother’s quirk operated?

- He and his brother were first-generation quirk users and All for One isn’t wild about letting even his doctor near his genetics, so producing a child that meets his standards is trial and error for a while.  Turns out that All for One the quirk is recessive.  He at least acquired some decent quirk stock from the prototypes.

- Inko Midoriya seems like the ideal candidate from the outset.  She has a weak quirk that his own could easily overtake, and she has few family to come snooping should things not work out.  Courtship proceeds normally after he finishes the research period, though he admits she had a way of shaking up the process with her quick wit.  Perhaps indulging her with extra gifts and kindness will generate the good karma he needs for an heir.  Why not?  It’s one thing he hasn’t tried.

- Just as before, All for One is present for the delivery.  His people outnumber the innocent hospital staff that day, but he insists they not interfere in those first few hours.  He also always lets the mother have final say on the name; he considers it a gesture of gratitude for services rendered.  Inko chooses Izuku, and he has no complaints.

- He always stays close until the quirk comes in.  It’s ideal that his potential heir is imprinted from the outset.  He has plenty of time besides.  Though, he’d be lying if he said that returning after a long day of running the criminal underground to a smiling toddler wasn’t pleasant.  Izuku is particularly angelic; the good karma with Inko pays off in spades.  He’s rarely fussy in the presence of his father, and shows curiosity for quirks from the moment he’s able to lift his own head.  All for One thinks with what could be argued as glee that he’s the one.

- And then Izuku is diagnosed as quirkless.  The cycle is broken; none of the prior attempts had been quirkless.  All for One had all but forgotten the possibility.  After he gets the call from a crying Inko, he has to pause to think.  When he gets back to their apartment, Izuku is still in tears.  He scoops the boy up without much thought.  But then, looking between his son and that dreaded All Might video, he gets an idea.  His empire was founded on giving power to the quirkless.  They were among his most passionate and embittered soldiers.  And Izuku will grow up in a world far more cruel to him.  That can be used.

- All for One rarely gets involved in the conflicts aimed at his son.  Other children’s bigotry will shape him into something angrier.  Malleable.  Plus, a few good fights should straighten his spine.  Boy cries more than Inko.   

- One of the few times he steps in is with the winged boy.  One day after school, he flies his son up high in the air, and drops him.  His son walks away with a broken arm and a newfound fear of heights.  But the doctor warns that such a height could have killed him if he hit his head.  His son, his heir, could have died. The school and other boy’s parents refuse to take disciplinary action.  No matter.  He’s been on the lookout for a decent wing quirk anyway.

- Izuku never improves.  He remains a doormat all through elementary school, no matter what All for One does to teach him.  Nor does he lose his passion for damned heroes.  Every time they speak it’s about some new speed bump hero upstart he saw on the way to school that morning.  He can’t recall the exact moment he decided the investment was no longer worth it.  His interest faded overtime, until he became injured in a fight with All Might.  He needed to disappear for a while, and figured it was also an opportunity to move on from Inko and their failed project.  He leaves them some consolation funds and has his legal team fabricate a suicide.

- Years later, All for One senses a familiar heartbeat flying over the battlefield where he faces All Might.  He feels the cursed energy that surrounds it, as well as the faint smile on his opponent’s face.  And he knows that all his karma has come back for him.

If you still are doing headcanons then do you have any with Izuku and his friends? (Or the Dekusquad to he precise)

Heck yeah!

- I’ve mentioned before in a couple headcanon posts that Izuku isn’t a fan of being touched.  Years of bullying will do that.  For the first couple months, he flinches away from even high-fives.  Most of the others pick up on it pretty quick and give him space.  Those moments of progress where he accepts a pat of the back or a fist bump are treasured.  All wait with hopeful breath of the day he initiates contact.

- Upon hearing of Uraraka’s troubled financial situation, her friends started packing extra food to school that she could take home.  Before they moved into the dorms, Iida and Yaoyorozu had a friendly competition to see who could put together the nicest meal for their friend to take for the weekend.  Yaoyorozu was best at packing a lot into small packages, while Iida was more familiar with his friend’s personal taste.  Izuku, or rather his mom, would just invite her over for dinner, much to his embarrassment.

- speaking of his mom, it took Izuku a little while longer than most to adjust to the dorms.  It was just him and his mom for a long time, and even though she assured him he can call anytime, being in a new place so far away was hard.  He kept it to himself for a long time, afraid his classmates would make fun of him for being a momma’s boy.  Uraraka was the one who finally got it out of him.  She said it was normal, that she cried the first night she moved out and still called her folks every day.  Things were better after that.

- Todoroki wasn’t allowed to have a lot of personal stuff growing up.  He father made him throw out most of his toys once he started training, controls how he dresses, and barely lets him decorate his room.  As a result, he takes great care of what little he has, especially if his friends gave it to him.  He still has the notecard Yaoyorozu wrote book recommendations on.  Hagakure made bracelets for the whole class and he wears his every time he goes out.  Izuku gave him the extra prize she won in a skill crane, a little stuffed puffer fish, and he sleeps with it every night.  (Might make this into a fic someday maybe)

- Iida and Izuku regularly race on the school track after classes.  Iida is faster in general, but Izuku can turn on a dime.  In practice, they’re almost even.

- Tsuyu has made it her mission to have all of her friends over at her house at least once; she feels it’s an important step in growing closer with someone.  She’s had all of the girls and a few of the guys over either individually or as part of a study group.  Her family, despite their frog quirks making them practically cold-blooded, are very warm people and love having their daughter’s friends visit.  Izuku was one of the first boys to be over by himself, though not intentionally as the rest of their study group canceled.  It well, they got a lot done and helped her parents make a fantastic meal.  It wasn’t until Izuku was out the door Tsuyu’s father make a crack about him “being a keeper” that she got flustered.

- Besides, All Might, Aoyama is the one Izuku talks to most about his anxieties with his quirk.  He gets it more than the others.  Aoyama isn’t exactly a fountain of wisdom, but he’s a great listener and a master of self-care.  He makes sure to share all the best food his family send him with Izuku, especially the high-end cheeses.

- Todoroki is still convinced Izuku and All Might are related somehow.  His honest efforts to gage other people’s opinions accidentally generated a school-wide rumor about it.  Most don’t believe, but they’ve at least considered it.  Izuku has no idea.

- When Izuku got back from I-Island, he offhandedly mentioned Melissa to Mei when he went in for costume repairs.  She froze, then pinned him against the wall, and said that she and him had an “exclusive supplier/client relationship” and that he better not “shop around.”  Izuku was too scared to answer Melissa’s Skype requests for a week.

- No one knows exactly how bad Izuku was treated before he came to UA.  He has a lot of anxiety about how they’ll react if they ever find out.

Thanks for the prompt!

I love your headcanons so much!! You put so much thought into them and it makes me want to put more thought into my own! I was wondering if you had any happy hcs for Izuku and his relationship with any of his friends?

Sure I’ve got a couple,

- When Izuku mentioned that he hadn’t been to a friend’s house since he was a toddler, everyone made it their mission to invite him over.  He’s visited about half the class by the time they’ve moved into the dorms.  Some made it sort of a friendly competition between who could show Izuku the best time.

- Iida once said that Izuku was like a little brother to him.  He was initially flattered, then confused after he realized that he was older than Iida.

- Mina has decided that Izuku’s inability to dance is unacceptable.  Even after the cultural festival she tries to get him to practice with her after classes.  She’ll make him a dancing fool by graduation, even if it kills him.

- Aoyama has made it his mission to set up Izuku and Uraraka together.  It mostly amounts to suggesting fun things to do as a group, then bailing last minute so the two are alone.  Izuku is oblivious.  Uraraka is not.

- After Izuku started having visions of the previous holders, he started talking to Tokoyami for advice.  He didn’t fully disclose his quirk or what’s going on with it, but he felt like someone with more experience sharing their body with another semi-sentient entity would have something helpful to say.  Tokoyami just thinks Izuku is doing more quirk research, so he obliges his questions.  Dark Shadow speaks for himself often too.

I have a more elaborate post like this and I’ll try and reblog it.

What are your thoughts on Gran Torino's relationship with Toshinori? I believe that, while they care about each other, they have a strained relationship. Canonically, Toshinori violently trembles when he remembers training with him and is hesitant to connect Izuku and Gran Torino. And he has flashbacks to being trained by Gran and being violently beaten. But then he also uses excessive force on Bakugou and Izuku during the final exam. Which I find really interesting. (1)

“It makes me wonder about what other negative (even toxic behaviors) he may have picked up from Gran and how aware he is of this. Like I wonder if his calling Izuku a crybaby is also a learned behavior. I find myself really questioning the people in Toshi’s life bc it takes meeting Izuku to make him want to change his self-destructive behavior. Toshi canonically pushed Nighteye away. Naomasa didn’t know Toshi before his injury so maybe wasn’t fully aware of the situation. But what about Gran? (2)”

I was going to just reblog the post I already made a while back about their relationship but you bring up some good points.

I think Toshinori had a hero-worship of Nana, but to an arguably more extreme degree than Izuku for him.  She was like his mother.  He idolizes her every time she’s brought up, so I think a lot of what she and Gran taught him went unquestioned, even if it was harsh.  Even Izuku argues a little. 

The thing I can most see rubbing off on him, maybe even unintentionally by his teachers, was the idea: “When you’re not good enough, people die.”  Nana lost her husband and gave up her child.  We don’t yet know the timeline of these events; did they happen while she was training Toshi or before?  How long before?  That sort of thing isn’t something a person can just move on from, even if they appear like they have everything together.  I doubt she would dump something like that on young Toshi, but he may have picked up on her grief, and made his own interpretations.

Those feelings were exemplified when she died.  He was there.  He had One for All.  Yet both she and Gran forced him out of the fight, not even giving him the chance to help at his master’s side.  And then Gran kept hitting him while he was trying to mourn.  The man said that Toshi needed to flee to another country in order to escape All for One. 

“I wasn’t good enough, so my mother master died.”

I’d like to think Gran recognized his mistake in pushing Toshi too hard after he barely survives All for One the first time.  Kid had to get his stomach and half a lung removed and his greatest enemy was defeated, but he still felt like he needed to go out there.  But at the time, he was probably too stubborn to admit it.  Ironically, Toshi picked that up too when dealing with his disagreement with Nighteye years later.

I think a lot of the ways Toshinori treats Izuku are efforts to give him a better version of the training he got.  Nana told him to keep smiling, so Izuku needs to stop crying.  He recognized the second-hand guilt he felt from Nana and Gran, so he keeps his personal grief from Izuku.  He felt like his teacher’s didn’t take his strength seriously, so he gives Izuku and Bakugou a serious fight.  On a more subconscious level, I think he recognized the near co-dependence he had on Nana and wanted to break that off in advance so Izuku could still flourish when Toshi was gone.  Initially at least.

Overtime, I think Toshinori’s understood that Izuku is a different person from him and needs different guidance.  Seeing that sort of self-destruction play out of someone else, a child no less, makes him reevaluate his own beliefs and lifestyle.  He revealed that he was quirkless to Izuku, and explained how special his student, the individual, truly was.  He hesitated about sending him to Gran, warning him of his own hardship.  If we want to include the movie, he not only invited Izuku to spend time with him and his friends, but allowed him to fight by his side.

But the moment where all of that snapped into place, I think, was when All for One said Izuku’s name during their final fight.  Suddenly, Toshinori saw the future layed out before him: he would die, and his student would be traumatized.  Just like he was.  Izuku wasn’t ready to face the monster that would inevitably come for him.  He would have to go somewhere far away to hide as well.  He’s honor his master’s wishes and bury his feelings; he’d stop crying and keep smiling.  But then he’d have no outlet for his grief.  He’d carry that anguish in his heart for years and years while it ate at him all the while.  And then, when presented with the opportunity for revenge, all those pent-up emotions would surge to the forefront, and impair his judgement.  If Izuku survived at all, he would likely be permanently injured.  Just like his master before him.

“If I’m not good enough, my son student will die…  But more than anything I still needed Nana Izuku still needs me.”

That was when Toshinori realized that he had to break the cycle.  He had to not only live, but change.  So he used a technique inspired by his boy to beat down the foe that loomed over him so long.  And once the hospital said he would survive, he went to his boy.  He said in no uncertain terms how proud he was of Izuku, and that there was no longer anything in his way preventing him from being the greatest teacher he could be.  And even though he teases Izuku one last time for being a crybaby, he cries too.

As for Gran, in the manga they’ve seemed to be on better terms since that fight, so I’d like to think they talked it out.  Even if they didn’t, I feel like there’s an understanding that wasn’t there before.  If nothing else, both are willing to set aside old grievances for Izuku’s sake.

…  Well this was really long and got kind of off topic (sorry), but it was fun to write.  Thanks for the prompt!

Seeing your headcanons on Bakugou receiving formal punishment for bullying added another year to my life span. Do you have any regarding the reaction of the rest of 1-a if they found out?

Oh they are not happy at all.

- The Bakusquad feels absolutely betrayed.  They thought their guy was still a good person under all that edge.  But the reveal recontextualizes every interaction they’ve had with him.  They feel guilty for spending so much time with someone capable of doing such vile things.  They don’t know what to say, so they say nothing.

- Kirishima tries to hold out.  But it’s hard; he knows some of what midoriya went through.  If Bakugou admits his wrongdoing, he’ll forgive him right away, knowing that he’s gotten better.  If he doesn’t admit wrongdoing, maybe even denying it, he’s done.  There are some lines you just don’t cross.

- Iida is the only other kid to confront Bakugou directly.  It comes in the form of a massive rant that lasts over an hour.  Bakugou doesn’t have a response at the end, and that makes it worse.

- Todoroki is less direct.  He stuffs ice into Bakugou’s shoes and backpack.  The other boy’s ensemble is soaked for a week straight.  And then in battle training, he gets personal.  He goes raw.  Massive spiked ice walls, plumes of flame that block the sky, wide and rapid fluxes in temperature to disorient.  He wants to make sure Bakugou feels at least some degree of helplessness. 

- Tsuyu, Uraraka, and Aoyama focus their efforts on Izuku, who has been trying to stick up for his former bully.  They pull him aside and talk with him about how unhealthy it seems for him to be defending his tormentor.  One of them brings in a resource about the effects of abuse, and Izuku checks several boxes.  He tells them he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.

- The rest of the class already tended not to spent too much time with Bakugou, but after this they don’t even want to look at him.  They ignore him for quite a while, while he gets angrier the whole time.

- The teachers had a lot of opinions too.  Sure, they behaved impartially during class, but you can’t help how you feel.  These are heroes, they’ve probably dealt with jumpers and victims before.  And that could have been sweet, courageous little Midoriya.  All their anger and disgust needs to be buried under layers of begrudging professionalism. 

- All Might refuses to allow him in on meetings about One for All.  He is not worthy.

What are some funny instances of Izuku being socially oblivious? I liked when he missed All Might's cues to cuddle Uraraka. You have any more moments like that in your brain?

- I don’t think he would get many movie references.  He might know some classics or things related to heroes, but beyond that he’s blank.

- Struggles sometimes to tell the difference between light-hearted teasing between friends and people making fun of him.  The line feels blurry when you’ve grown up only getting the one.

- Not always the best at volume control.  He either mumbles or nearly shouts.

- Any time he encounters a fan out in the wild and they flirt with him, it goes right over his head.  He just thinks they’re nice.  Once, a girl gave him her number, and he through it away soon after.  In class they learned that it’s inappropriate and sometimes dangerous for a fan to have a hero’s personal number.  Kaminari and Mineta nearly cried when he told them it wasn’t the first time.

- Izuku was taught that if someone did something nice for him, he should repay them with something equally nice if not better.  This is not a universal lesson, and some of his friends feel either frustrated that Midoriya is trying to one up them, or worried that they are buying his friendship.

- Casual touching between friends is another thing he isn’t used to.  Sometimes someone will randomly put an arm around or lean against him, and he just goes completely still, not sure what to do.

If you have the inclination, do you have any hc about Toshinori and his love for Yakushima cedars? I like to imagine that at some point during some school break he takes Izuku to see those trees he loves so much. He's hyperware of his mortality so he wants to take the time to go back before he dies bc it's something he's always said he'd do but was too busy being AM to do. Also Izuku is always trying to get to know him better so why not take his successor (son) to his favorite place on Earth

There’s a fic called “For the Son” that touches on the cedars briefly but effectively if you want to check that out.  As for me:

- The go some weekend after Kamino, maybe right before the kids move into the dorms.  All Might texts Izuku late the night before and asks if he’d be okay coming with him on a day trip.  He of course agrees.

- He keeps their destination a secret right up until they’re about to get on a boat to the island.  On the train ride before, All Might recounts old hero stories of they silently watch the countryside pass them by.

- Izuku spends the remaining time they have phone signals researching local legends and history, excitedly parroting it all.  All Might just smiles and occasionally injects commentary.

- The hike is mostly silent.  The air of the place feels heavy, important.  When Izuku speaks, he’s quiet as to be respectful.

- Once they get close to the biggest tree on the island, All Might starts explaining them.  They’re able to grow as large and live as long due to a perfect combination of factors in their environment.  But perfect doesn’t mean good.  While there’s heavy rainfall to keep them watered, the soil lacks nutrients and forces the trees to mature slowly.  This was how it was for Toshinori.  His master provided him with knowledge and support, while the rest of the world closed in and forced him to play things safe.  

- He feels a certain kinship with the trees, their history and their guardianship over the island.  That’s why he loves it there.  That’s what he brought Izuku.  

- Izuku does not have the perfect environment.  His own quirk hurts him unless he’s supremely careful, the villains haven’t given him so much as a month of rest, and now, his master is barely healthy enough to properly train him.  Not that he was a great teacher before.

- Izuku denies it.  He says that All Might still being around and supportive is more than enough.  Look at the trees.  They don’t actually do much; just stand around and live for a long time and people decided that meant something.  All Might is still alive and standing, and that means so much more to Izuku than he can properly express.

do you have some head canons about how would it be if Nana survived...I mean her attitude towards what happens in canon, how would she feel about Toshi fighting and getting his injuries how would she feel about Izuku being his successor?

- So in this scenario, Nana survived her final fight with AFO, but was injured to the point her career was basically over.  Toshi was worried she’d just not wake up one day during her whole recovery.  But she did get better, and was there to support Toshi for his own own career.

- He still studied in America to get away from AFO, but this time Nana and Gran came with him.  They rented a property near his campus and he stayed there instead of the dorms.  Then they all moved back once he graduated.

- Nana would make Toshi stay in bed and recover, no questions asked.  She’d have pulled out all the Mom™ authority to make him take his own health seriously.  She would’ve also doted on him the whole time like he was a kid again too.

- Nana was the first person Toshi told after he chose Izuku as a successor.  It was a bittersweet moment.  On the one hand, Toshi was finally admitting his limits and making a change for the better; on the other, the age of All Might was ending, and her son was letting go of the lifestyle that made him so happy.  She, of course, wanted to meet the kid who changed her kid’s heart.

- All Might comes to the beach one day as Izuku has already started training with a big smile on his face.  He says someone important is coming to see his progress, but nothing more.  Izuku goes about cleaning with added nervousness.  Nana doesn’t come until the training day is almost over.  All Might introduces her as his master.  She corrects him and says she’s his mom.  Izuku swallows nervously.  She stares down at him silently for a few moments, then smiles.  “So you’re my boy’s boy, huh?  Guess that makes me grandma.”

- Nana absolutely loves Izuku.  He’s so small and cute and he kicks any ass thrown his way.  She’s his biggest cheerleader besides his mom.  It’s actually a little embarrassing.  All Might assures him that she did the same thing when he was young.

- That doesn’t mean she goes easy on him with training.  Instead of physical stuff, she drills him with logic and moral puzzles.  Heroes need to learn to make hard desicions at the drop of a hat.  It’s tough, but she always tells him that he’s getting better.

- She’s also always there for him and Toshi.  After the USJ, she rushed the infirmary close to tears and yells at both of them for being reckless.  Then she runs up and hugs them both.  Afterward, it’s time for ice cream with grandma.

Do you have any hc about All Might/Toshinori mannerisms? Like his actual physicality and how it shifts between his "identities". One thing I really like about bnha is how it plays with masculinity. Like how Toshinori (and Selkie and Gunhead) sometimes behave in a cute manner. I like that All Might could be seen as the traditional archetype of masculinity but it's subverted by his occasional displays of femininity/neutrality (use of watashi, body language, gentleness, etc)

You hit the nail on the head there!

- All Might is basically the ultimate gentle giant.  He’s huge and super strong, but most of the time he’s very aware of it and is very careful around others.  This had to come from a lot of practice, as he was a bit of a klutz in his youth.

- Though he is usually loud and boisterous in All Might mode, he can be soft spoken with children and victims he rescues.  What most people don’t know is that softness is closer to his real personality.

- He got a lot of that from Nana.  She could be loud and fun, but it was the moments of gentle support that really made a difference.  Toshi decided early on that he was going to give others the same support he was given.  His incorporating elements of femininity aren’t conscious efforts towards that specific end; rather he just thinks this is what works.

- After his injury, he sort of retreated away from his friendly nature while in his true form.  His sickly appearance made people uncomfortable, so he kept to himself even when he felt he had something to offer in terms of help.

- He starts using a whole different vocabulary of body language when he starts working with Izuku.  Though he doesn’t have the full picture, the kid clearly has some issues and needs to be approached with care.  Where he might kneel down to speak with a young fan Izuku’s hight, that can come off as condescending and he wants the kid to see them as relatively on the same level.  Hugs and play punching are replaced with head pats and shoulder squeezes.  He becomes more and more comfortable spending time as his true form out in public with Izuku in tow.

Do you have any headcanons for Aoyama? What do you think of him?

Aoyama is best French sparkle boy and my biggest failure as a fic writer is that I have no ideas for stories focused on him.

- Has taken multiple self-help courses for people with self-destructive quirks.  Results vary, but he goes to new ones with the same enthusiasm as always.

- Yaoyorozu introduced him to some of her friends from France whose families do business with hers.  They’ve helped him develop a respectable following in French-speaking hero watching communities. 

- Has relationship and makeover advice prepped for everyone in the class, should they ask.  No one has yet.

- Has a weird almost-crush on Monoma.  He thinks he’s kinda pretty and cool from a distance, then he opens his mouth and Aoyama remembers, “oh yeah, he’s a jerk.”

- The third best at English after Yaororozu and Iida.  Though he’s a bit more approachable for basic guidance.  The others will put together a whole lecture for one question.  Also a total teacher’s pet.

- He’s had quite a few friends over the years, but the Dekusquad are the first he considers his best friends.

That sick Izuku headcanon post is grade A angst, I love it. Do you have any headcanons for the flipside, when Toshinori gets sick and ends up in the hospital (either by catching something, or just from complications from his natural condition), and Izuku and maybe some of the other kids visit him/worry about him/try to help him in small ways?

I fell like everyone and their mom has made this sort of headcanon but I’d love to take a crack at it.

- so I think on regular occasions, Toshi might have to spend a night at the hospital.  At a point he might know when bad days are coming so he may let people know in advance.  Izuku and some of the others help him put together an overnight bag, and see him off.  

- Perhaps on more sudden episodes, Izuku accompanies him on the ride to the hospital.  It’s scary, it always is, seeing his teacher in such a state, but he learns overtime that as long as he stays calm and does what he’s supposed to do, everything will be okay.

- But then sometimes it’s not.  Let’s go back to pneumonia.  It can be pretty risky for a person in otherwise normal health.  For someone who’s body is as battered as Toshinori, it could very well be a death sentence.  Recovery Girl sends him off at the first sign of danger, and they get him treatment in time that it doesn’t kill him.

- It’s still a rough time.  He needs round the clock treatment for about three weeks, and in that time no one can visit as not to risk contamination.  Days are long and lonely, lined with severe pain that drags them even longer.  And even when he manages to sleep, it’s either the medication or paid that knock him out.

- Those first couple days, there are almost no updates.  Izuku doesn’t sleep.  He’s scared that All Might won’t wake up if he does.  In the exhausted states where he flicks between consciousness, he dreams of news reports declaring the death of the symbol of peace.  His phone is all but glued to his hands so he can get the truth, but even that doesn’t calm his nerves.  He gets so paranoid that once they finally do get an update that Toshinori is stable, Izuku feels like it’s a lie to make him feel better.

- He doesn’t feel anything in the ballpark of relieved until Toshi videochats him.  He didn’t want to at first, not wanting his student to see him in such a state, but the other teachers message him about how much of a wreck his boy is.  Izuku cries as soon as it goes through.  He feels terrible, his teacher has been on death’s door for days, yet he’s the one consoling him.  But really, Toshi couldn’t be happier.  Here’s his boy again, and he’s still alive to see him.

- Even when they release him from the hospital, it takes months for him to fully recover.  Izuku is at his side every moment he’s allowed.  Every coughing fit puts him on edge.  When Toshinori is late for class or training he panics.  He still has trouble sleeping.  Some nights, Toshinori stays on the couch in the common room, Izuku curled up and holding on for dear life, but merciful asleep.

- It takes a long time for things to get better, but they do get better.
