I don't think we talk enough about the fact every time Shouta has interacted with the public/Press he has looked like this:
(Not counting the Sports Festival in which he was all covered up.)
And whenever he's interacted with parents or Guardians of the kids, he looked like this:
Now this is how Shouta usually looks:
Curly and wild hair, facial hair as well, dark eyebags, he's scared many characters just by his looks. (Ochako, Izuku, etc.)
Shouta is a man that has no care for appearances nor how others view him. And yet, he cleaned up in the name of his kids. He, or someone, straightened his hair, maybe even cut it a bit, he shaved, put on a suit and tie, I even think he could have put make up under his eyes because of the lack of heavier eyebags.
Now, we know this. Old news.
But consider:
There's a real possibility that the kids parents have never met Shouta when he was not dressed up, and do not know him as anything else but that cleaned up version.
Can you imagine you meet your kids teacher, he's quiet but polite and well kept. Very straight to the point and well mannered.
Time goes by, parents evening comes up and you're talking with all the teachers, asking about your kid's grades and such, you ask where the homeroom teacher is, Mr Aizawa, they point across the room, you expect to see that quiet but polite man talking to another parent maybe.
Instead you see a sickly tired looking man, curly hair unbrushed and knotted, he's holding a ugly yellow sleeping bag under his arm. He's drinking out of a jelly packet, next to him is a punk rock guy with the ugliest fucking moustache you've ever seen, and a woman who looks like she's from Victoria Secret.
Tell me you would NOT wonder what the FUCK happened.

Prompt 6 - Murder
@jegulus-microfic February 6 Word count 487
Murder had never been very high on Regulus’s to-do list. But when you’re part of Voldemort’s inner entourage, murder is expected.
Regulus didn’t like it, but he did as he was told. That was until he had his ex-lover on his knees in front of him, his chin held up by the tip of Regulus’s wand while his fellow death eaters cheered him on over finally getting the Potter boy.
Regulus couldn’t do it. He stared into James’s eyes, knowing James would be the only one able to pick out the fear in his eyes. James’s lips were moving. He concentrated on the words coming out.
“It’s ok, love. I know you have to do it.” James gazed up at him, completely relaxed and calm. Regulus’s wand hand shook, prodding James in the throat. James swallowed hard but didn’t take his eyes off Regulus.
“Alright, Black, enough gloating. Finish him already so we can go.” One of the masked men spat out, getting bored of the situation.
Regulus had only let his eyes flick away from James for a second to acknowledge the speaker before turning his full attention back on James.
James smiled at him again and nodded his head minutely. Regulus shook his head with a similarly almost invisible movement.
“I can’t.” He mouthed soundlessly down to James, lowering his wand slightly.
“If you’re not going to do it, Black, move out of the way!” The other death eater stepped forward just as the wall beside him imploded, and Sirius Black came leaping through the dust swirling around the gaping hole.
He started blasting before his feet even hit the ground. Sirius took out three death eaters without blinking and rounded on the remaining two, the bored death eater and Regulus.
Regulus, shocked at the sudden interruption, stood frozen. His wand still resting under James’s chin.
Sirius knocked the other death eater out, leaving only Regulus. He pointed his wand at his brother.
“Give me a reason, Regulus!” Sirius murmured, his voice deathly quiet, his stance showing he wasn’t messing around.
Regulus didn’t move, but James did.
He stood up, gently moving Regulus’s wand away from him and reaching his hands to cradle his face.
“You okay?” He asked, ignoring Sirius’s protestations. A tear dropped from Regulus’s eye, and his jaw quivered in James’s hands, but he managed to twitch the corner of his mouth into a smile.
Their moment was broken when ropes shot from Sirius’s wand and wound around Regulus, pinning his arms to his side so forcefully his wand clattered to the ground.
“Grab him, and let’s go!” Sirius yelled as he summoned Regulus’s wand into his hand. Regulus found himself being hoisted into the air and over James’s shoulder as he was carried indignantly away from the building as a prisoner of the Order.
He contemplated whether murder would have been the easier option. But no, this humiliation was still preferable.
Next part

Baldur's Gate 3 is a wonderful game that lets you experience a lot of things both fantastical and mundane. Gale, for an example, interprets your kindness as you being into him. We all know the type, I'm sure. You thought you'd play the game and decide who to romance? No. Not without breaking up with Gale, you won't.
Patreon and society6 offer support groups for wizards who have unjustly been dumped and/or rejected by main characters. There's no need to explode and make a scene - we're here to help.
