Inktober 26/2023 “Remove”

MANGA SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

In the final battle Hawks and tokoyami switched places and hawks was knocked unconscious instead. AFO immediately tried to steal dark shadow. Can tokoyami and dark shadows combined force of will keep them together or are they to weak and injured? Either way, even if AFO does get Shadow they aren’t going down without a fight and will tear him apart from the inside. Shadow will die with him and tokoyami will be alone.

Something silly but here’s some stuff that I think tokoyami should have in his future house. A proper nest is a must so he needs a bed that’s comfortable and protected so it has to have walls/curtains and lots of blankets and pillows. The next is his “training room” which is more of a play room and it has a really tall ceiling because he loves to climb and perch. I based it off of bird toys but also dancing equipment.

He’s got:

Climbing wall

Ladder

Aerial silk

Aerial Lyra/ring

Trapeze/swing

Dancing pole

Rope net

Loft/hammock (not shown in picture)

I do not know where he gets the time to have all these hobbies but I know he’s not sleeping much

I know that dark shadow and Tokoyami have different personalities, but do you think there's anyone they feel the same about?

There are a couple people who could fit that but I would say the best answer for that is Midoriya! If we are strictly following canon their first interaction is with mido asking tokoyami to join his team and making some perfect analysis for dark shadows capabilities. Tokoyami was thoroughly impressed and dark shadow was very flattered mido was paying so much attention to them. The thing that makes this unique is that their friendship starts on equal footing, with mido recognizing both tokoyami and dark shadow from the beginning. If you want to delve into non canon lore there was an anime short released that has the class return to the USJ to do some actual rescue practice and tokoyami and Midoriya got to interact there. Midoriya gushes on about how cool dark shadow is and tokoyami just looks so shocked.

For tokoyami and dark shadow it is rare for someone to recognize dark shadow much less regard them as their own individual, ESPECIALLY from a first impression. This is probably the only time it’s happened to them to be honest. Tokoyami tends to create a divide between himself and others because of their lack of awareness for his Other. It takes time for people to understand and get to know dark shadow before he can tell them about their true individuality. From having an avian mutation to a “villainous” quirk people are mostly afraid of him, much less willing to accept a sentient quirk on top of that. But Midoriya bypassed ALL of that, he finds them amazing and cool, so tokoyami allows himself to form a connection in turn.

Talking to Midoriya makes Shadow feel like a person. They feel recognized and get the attention they have been craving, and tokoyami couldn’t be happier for them. The only other people to regard dark shadow so highly were their grandparents, and now they are gone. For however much of a divide tokoyami makes between himself and others, dark shadow’s is twice as big. Shadow is a creature of darkness and everyone else are creatures of light. They long to be close with others, to walk in the sunlight with them, but it’s just not possible. Tokoyami can bridge that gap, he can walk in the light for BOTH of them, but it’s not the same. Midoriya doesn’t even know how important it was to Shadow that he took that first step and reached out to them first. Maybe this is a little dramatic but shadow has big feeling and is very emotional actually.

On a completely normal note, there are lots of things about Midoriya that tokoyami and Dark shadow both feel the same way about. Mido reminds tokoyami of dark shadow, he is excitable and chatty and actually pretty funny. Shadow thinks Midoriya is adorable with how expressive he is and loves to tease and get reactions out of him. They are all smiles when mido is around. He is never judgmental towards others interests and even said their room was cool.

There are also lots of things shadow and toko have in common with mido. Midoriya has a kind heart but also a dark side. When Shadow was going on a rampage during the summer camp he was determined to help save everyone, that sacrificeing nature to protect others at any cost is one the twins know well. When mido leaves UA that self isolation and destruction is all too familiar of a darkness for tokoyami to sit back and let happen. Midoriya is also…odd, he can be creepy with his mumbling and taking notes on people which can weird people out but tokoyami understands his odd nature and see him as a kindred spirit. As a consequence of their unique behavior’s, both tokoyami and mido were bullied growing up, and you know what they say, misery loves company. Really, Midoriya’s embodiment of both light and darkness is what makes him so compatible with shadow and tokoyami because they are the definition of dual nature.

(Speaking of dual natured, todoroki was a close second for this ask, maybe I will write about him some other time)

Honestly I wish I could tell you all the reasons Midoriya likes tokoyami and dark shadow but that would turn into a complete mumble storm. He could go on and ON about how funny and cool and amazing they are. In fact since tokoyami is so secretive Midoriya keeps all his notes on them in a separate journal, and there are a LOT of notes. From personality traits to possible special moves mido is completely facinated by these little birds.

As far as hang outs go dark shadow loves to sneak over to his room in the middle of the night when they know he’s awake. They are both chatty so from hero’s to quirk specifics they never really run out of things to talk about. It is dark out though so dark shadow can be a little rambunctious. They watch movies or tv shows to calm down. Tokoyami is a better listener than a talker but Midoriya has a way of making people feel comfortable and getting them to open up. He’s willing to tell mido about his interests and even some of his secrets. He’ll talk about the prequirk era, gothic literature, and some of his past and insecurities. Midoriya is also one of the only people tokoyami likes to train with, he prefers to create his special moves in secret but mido is full of good ideas and advice so he helps them. Midoriya finds all of Tokoyami’s little hobbies fascinating too so he is always willing to learn and join in when toko is doing something fun. Sometimes they will sit together and write in their journals while listening to music.

Mido and toko can talk to each other very easily because of their shared issues, they are both good at giving advice and reassuring others. They might not interact a lot but their friendship is strong.

Oh the metaphorical significance of Tokoyami using the mental image of a bird cage to keep dark shadow restrained within himself~

@mexxedman asked for tokoyami and koda, none of my analysis are intentionally shippy but you can certainly read it that way ;)

Tokoyami and koda are probably the shyest boys in the class so of course they gravitated together early on. Tokoyami has always had a habit of protecting others so when he saw this soft shy boy sitting next to him his instincts kicked in and he started talking to him. Although koda didn’t really talk back because of his mutism, but that wasn’t a problem because tokoyami already knows sign language from suffering from mutism as well when he was a child (he still has problems when extremely stressed). Obviously their interaction at the USJ kickstarted their friendship and they started chatting in class more often. Others noticed koda was using sign and tokoyami had to start giving out lessons. Tokoyami tries to be on his best behavior but sometimes his dark demeanor escapes him and he spooks koda but it’s not a big deal and there are no hard feelings.

Shadow feels the same way about protecting koda as tokoyami does. They are always on their best behavior and love to offer for koda to pet them!! Koda is just about the nicest person the planet with nothing even remotely threatening about him so of course shadow adores him. Shadow rarely “snaps” when he is near by because they don’t want to scare him (they also act like this around eri). There have been times when they have been so stressed that they snap anyway but they apologize immediately afterwards and koda obviously forgives them.

Koda unintentionally gets tokoyami to unleash some of his avian instincts just because of his bird knowledge. Helping him with nest materials, taking care of his feathers, or giving him little trinkets for his collections. He even knows about toko’s quirk enhancements like his strong vision. Koda’s favored thing about Tokoyami and Shadow is how gentle and understanding they are, they never judge him and are extremely patient. They make him feel safe and comfortable, they are also just fun to be around. Their favorite things to do together are sitting outside and being in nature in general. They have similar hobbies too like foraging and wood carving so they will spend them together. Tokoyami pushes koda to conquer his fears and anxiety with good advice and getting closer to tokoyami makes koda feel braver. Dark shadow protects koda from bugs.

Inktober 17/2023 “Demon”

Demon tokoyami au that I had nearly forgotten about. Long ago Dark shadow used to be the god of hell/underworld but was usurped by the demon lord AFO and was cast into Tartarus where they remain trapped. Tokoyami is the final demon who remains loyal to Shadow and travels earth collecting the souls of sinners in hopes of getting enough power to free his master. Mydoriya is still the main character and he is fighting through AFO’s demon forces to eventually kill him and tokoyami joins his team (although no one knows he is a demon as well when he first joins).

Inktober 16/2023 “Angel”

Here’s another oc, obviously her hero name is Angel. All my “ocs” serve a narrative purpose and angel is no different. She is made to be an antagonist in a story where tokoyami goes to the USA and she is a hero student in one of their top schools. She has a holier-than-thou attitude and a bit of a temper. Her strong sense of justice reaches to the point of wrathful vengeance and she follows instructions with extreme discipline (like a soldier). Her wings glow white but that “halo” is actually a support item that shoots beams of light.

Tokoyami and Dark Shadow arguing? I know it tends to happen since they’re always together, maybe sometimes they don’t see eye to eye or agree on some things. 🤔🖤

Tokoyami and dark shadow used to argue a lot in middle school (The Dark Ages) but nowadays their communication and trust in each other is MUCH better and these fights happened more rarely. Regardless of the time period pretty much all of these arguments are from tokoyami being to controlling and dark shadow being frustrated with their lack of freedom. Tokoyami prioritizes their safety, but he is also paranoid and can be too strict. Shadow isn’t allowed out in public, or even during school unless it’s lunch or training. Sometimes when shadow tries to speak tokoyami will shush them for no good reason (either it is embarrassing or incriminating) and shadow gets so sick of all the rules. So all that exasperation builds up till they can’t take it any more and they snap.

Dark Shadow also tends to make impulsive decisions which toko tries to stop but sometimes shadow slips past him and gets them both in trouble. Fumikage tries to remain calm and forgive shadow but he may snap at them for a moment.

Their argument are rarely physically violent but mentally their anger and force of will can hurt the other. Shadow can give tokoyami some pretty bad migraines even unintentionally.

There isn’t really a resolution to this problem unless tokoyami gets over his trust issues and the quirk use laws are suddenly lifted.
