Eventually North's academics and papers got sorted, joining the Class 1-A as more of a general student. He was still in on things but he was technically not a student of 1-A. He would be a part of 2-A in the next year. He would arrive at the classroom for his first day, already feeling out of place as he mostly just sits at his desk.
Some was speaking about the new student in school of UA or at least some was wondering what the new student was like. Many was questioning about it, even Izuku who was seeing his fellow classmates talking about it.

Thoughts on how I write the Commission and their views on Quirkless heroes
I like writing the Commission as not actually caring if there's a Quirkless hero, because I view them as being more interested in having someone easy to manipulate, rather than even necessarily their Quirk. Let's look at for example the two heroes we know were Commission-controlled. And well, then at why they'd be fine with it.
Lady Nagant's Quirk would have some pretty negative connotations. We see her in the flashback where the Commission is making her the offer that her rifle arm is wrapped up. Japan has very stringent gun laws and her Quirk would have a negative association to it (versus the US for example, were it would have had a positive association since Second Amendment). That makes her easy to manipulate, because the Commission is making her an offer she didn't imagine possible; they're going to support her to be a hero. They're not going to treat her like just because her Quirk is literally a gun (note that with Snipe's Quirk he likely *could* use a different weapon than a gun, but if he's younger than Kain [very possible since she's in her late thirties] then the stigma isn't there quite as much for a gun user) she's a future villain or shouldn't be allowed near heroics. Instead they're going to support her, but there's just this one other thing they need her to do...
With Hawks he gets scooped up super young. Like I think we gloss over the fact sometimes he likely wasn't even ten when everything happened. He already had very heroic tendencies, but he was also the son of a villain. His mother and he after his father got arrested (and even honestly before) were extremely impoverished. They were in a garbage situation. Then the Commission comes knocking an offers them a way out, the funds to support themselves and all Hawks has to do is something he already wants to do; to become a hero. He's going to be Commission trained and controlled, but he's also going to get his dream. He's not going to be held back for being the son of a villain, his identity is as good as private, and he's going to be able to do what he's always wanted.
A Quirkless hero!Izuku (or even another person who wants to be a Quirkless hero) is someone who they would view as easy to manipulate. It's unlikely they'd have prior support, it's unlikely that they'd be able to get the sort of mentorship or access to training someone who had a Quirk could have. They could be viewed as being able to have good PR or make for a good story (look! Even if you're Quirkless you too can be a hero!). Yes Quirkless people are a steadily decreasing minority, but it also doesn't really effect the Commission's bread and circuses. If anything it allows for greater distraction, and may even give the Commission a PR boost (look at how supportive we are!).
So yeah, I know a lot of people go with the idea of the Commission being anti-Quirkless hero, but I'd actually argue for the reasons mentioned here that it's just as likely they'd be fine with it.

Dark Hero Arc and Deku’s Mask
The Dark Hero Arc and the Symbolism of Deku’s Mask
Tumblr media
Izuku’s original costume design was created to invoke All Might. The No. 1 Hero’s iconic upwards bangs were added to Deku’s bunny-eared cowl, and the constant All Might smile recreated with Deku’s mouth guard.
"Just trying to meet expectations! A smiling... dependable... cool hero... That's what I wanna be!”
Tumblr media
There’s a lot of symbolism in All Might’s bright smile and hair shape being the most iconic parts of All Might’s image that Izuku chose to imitate with his own hero costume. But those parts of the costume are also what cover up Izuku’s face and keep his actual features and emotions hidden from view, especially during the Dark Hero Arc where he’s wearing the mask constantly, something he hasn’t seen a need to do prior to this arc.
Which is why pulling down the mask is such a good indication of where Izuku is at mentally post war.
Tumblr media
He’s hiding behind a figurative All Might mask for most of his arc.
And in his imitation of trying to be like All Might also shows up the dark side of All Might’s heroic traits and martyrdom that Izuku has picked up on. The never sleeping, never stopping, having to be constantly on the move or he won’t be fast enough or strong enough to save everyone.
All Might became the only pillar of society, and that left him isolated from everyone around him and leaving him with nothing else besides his persona as the Symbol of Peace. He was a symbol of heroism, and it’s no wonder he didn’t think he had a right to be human anymore as he was put upon pedestals and took on the burden of upholding peace and justice in society.
Deku’s mask shows us how becoming like All Might isn’t going to fix anything. The Dark Hero Arc is supposed to show us the problem with the one pillar type system of heroics that All Might pioneered over the use of teamwork and cooperation.
As the strongest hero, All Might didn’t wait around for the other heroes to keep up, and was only focused on being a symbol to inspire others.
Tumblr media
“All Might... I’m fine now. You don’t have to follow me.”
It’s why All Might and Deku feeding into one another’s drive for heroism isn’t a good thing in the long run and ends up with Izuku running worn and ragged and unable to do anything as those around him are left behind and unable to keep up and get him to slow down and rest.
It’s why I also think that Izuku losing the hood and face-guard are so important. It’s a way to show him more open and vulnerable. To be more relatable to those around him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"If I can't save one little girl right in front of me... Then how can I ever hope to be a hero who saves everyone?!"
All the biggest moments that Deku has acted as a hero for others, took place where he wasn’t wearing a mask. Those were the moments he was the hero Deku; not just an “All Might wannabe” hidden behind a hooded cowl or face-guard. Not when his eyes are shadowed and dark where only his irises are visual.
Izuku’s biggest heroic moments are when he isn’t doing things All Might’s way, but relying on his own strengths and powers as a hero.
Tumblr media
All Might’s constant smile and hair tufts were his version of a hero mask - and those are the aspects that Izuku took inspiration from in his original costume; and those were the parts of the mask present for the majority of his fights in the Dark Deku arc.
"I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me."
All Might used his smile and image to mask his own fear and insecurities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And when the masks came off, we could see that Izuku wasn’t smiling at all during his arc. He stopped taking care of himself. He only allowed himself to be Deku, and was taking his heroism to the extreme to live up to the symbol that All Might had created and that Izuku took on as the Symbol of Peace’s successor.
Tumblr media
“In order to smile... for everyone to live in peace...”
It’s why Izuku’s mask coming off during Deku vs Class A is so important to them coming together and working together by the end of the arc. 
When Iida, Uraraka, and Bakugou all reach out to save Midoriya from himself during this arc, none of them are wearing masks. They’re not hiding behind a façade, and are being their most genuine selves. And that is what ultimately opens them up to save Izuku. Losing the mask by the end and knowing that his friends are by his side.

Midnight Musings. Whimsical Ideas.
In Izuku Midoriya's cozy living room, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of determination and camaraderie as Izuku, Yuki, Shinso, and Denki gathered to solve the misunderstanding between their friends. While Izuku was busy jotting down practical solutions in his notebook, Yuki was animatedly pitching ideas that ranged from bizarre to downright absurd.
"I think we should organize a surprise romantic dinner for them!" Yuki exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she bounced in her seat.
Shinso raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Um, Yuki, I don't think that's—"
"—practical at all," Izuku finished, giving Yuki a fond smile. "But I appreciate the enthusiasm. Maybe we could consider something a bit more low-key?"
Yuki pouted playfully, crossing her arms over her chest. "Fine, be that way. But mark my words, someday someone's going to thank me for my genius romantic gestures!"
Izuku chuckled softly, his heart swelling with affection for the girl beside him. Despite her unconventional ideas, there was something undeniably endearing about Yuki's earnestness and creativity.
As they continued to brainstorm, Izuku couldn't help but be reminded of the time he had hidden under Yuki's bed, listening to her act out her daydreams with a fictional character named Mikaela. It was a memory that still made his cheeks flush with embarrassment, but also filled him with a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
Lost in his thoughts, Izuku found himself stealing glances at Yuki, marveling at the way her eyes lit up with passion and excitement as she pitched her outlandish ideas. She was unlike anyone he had ever met, a whirlwind of contradictions and quirks that never failed to keep him on his toes.
As they worked together to find a solution to their friends' problem, Izuku couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over him. For in Yuki, he had found not only a friend but a kindred spirit, someone who accepted him for who he was and challenged him to be the best version of himself.
With a smile, Izuku turned his attention back to the task at hand, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with Yuki by his side. For as long as they were together, he knew that anything was possible.

Canon Izuku Vs Birdcage Izuku
Canon Izuku truama is related to having no self-worth and self-sacrificing. Birdcage Izuku truama is learned helplessness from his father always protecting him and demonizing the outside world. Partially influenced by his mothers passing.
In canon Izuku is willing to accept the name Deku because Ochaco rebranded. In Birdcage Izuku can't move on to accept it, partially because of his father constant insistence of pointing out it terrible implication, so Ochaco settles for calling him Zuku.
Canon Izuku desperately wants to be friends with Bakugou because has forgiven for the bullying. Birdcage Izuku originally still wanted that in-spite of his fathers words, believing they could be friends but when Bakugou decided to be Bakugou his heart was shattered at the idea his father was right. Bakugou was never his friend.
Canon Izuku has OFA and learned to master the quirks in it and treats it like it an amazing gift. One that was given willingly and is something passed on for generation. Birdcage Izuku has AFO, but slightly dislikes that in reality none of the quirks are truly his. Especially as Bakugou uses it as a point of contention to imply he can only steal and thus there something wrong with him.
Canon Izuku likes all his friends tho is weirdly distant at times and involves Bakugou into everything. Birdcage Izuku is heavily reliant on friendship he makes as validation that he isn't helpless. Especially with Shoto who he sees himself in as the one also trapped under his father.
Canon Izuku is basically normal with funny shirts. Birdcage Izuku does occasionally cross dressing, originally because his father would dress him up as a way to distract from grief over the loss of Inko. He is embarrassed by it but he actually enjoys playing with outfits.
Canon Izuku is the sweetest boy you ever met raised by Inko. Birdcage Izuku was raised by AFO... That all I'll say on that.
They both do want to be heroes.

so tired of the only interactions people on here have with my posts are...from people liking/reblogging me reblogging other people's posts (and not even when i've said anything that matters in the reblog) and spammers liking/reblogging my music posts but no actual people (much less my followers) interacting with it. it's discouraging and disheartening.

For Mineta: Who had the softest chest out of all the girls you met? :3
@demon-blood-youths
"Who has the softest chest?" Mineta thinks a little but looks left and right to be sure he's alone before looking at the anon. "It's hard to say honestly. All the girls had soft pretty boobies." he giggled but thinks.
"Most of them were really cute, and so so soooooo soft. Like Ashley butterfly. Her chest is so soft and snuggly. They were the right size to nuzzle my face in them. Sara has the cutest look on her face when you squeeze her cute butt. Even seeing strong girls like Maggie and Kali being cute! Some of the girls have normal or slightly plump boobies but still nice to enjoy." he giggled doing grabby hands.
"Though, I also love some of the fraction leader female boobies...even Van ink's. Hers is so so soooooo soft and it's like snuggling into a warm pillow." he drools flushing pink with a nose bleed.
"*Sighs* I was in heaven when I got the chance. I bet it's better when I get to squeeze and enjoy. Her bras and panties were soft too." He said to the anon but as he did, the anon tenses to see Mineta confused.
"What?"
"I'm sorry. But what the fuck did you say about Ink?" said a angry voice to scare Mineta. He slowly turns seeing six angry young men who were the six claws.
".......Uhhhh.."
"The hell you do to Ink you fucking asshole!?" Rin said aiming the tip of his blade towards him.
"What did I tell you about being a fucking perv Mineta!?" Bakugo cracked his knuckles.
"You know..that's pushing it. We can't let that slide." Ren said pushing his glasses up but he was angry.
"How dare you be a pervert around Ink!" Atsushi said growling.
"I say we beat the living shit out of him! No one touches our Ink!" Denji said.
"Right! That's low for you Mineta!" Midoriya said.
"uhhhhhh..I......." Before long, he begins running away screaming.
"GET BACK HERE!!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Have you heard of the boy who held kindness close even though anger is an option?
I have.
His eyes contained the forests that hold our life; green and nature-blessed. And, his hair remains grown, messily arranged — it contains memories, not so kind, but hopeful to the eye. The base of his cheeks are four-leaved clovers: luck, pure luck has brought him here.
I have known of him.
I have known of him. His sense of a squirrel. As they plant trees with their acorns in the soil. As he does good with anger burning in the air. As he cries, with his head upon my shoulder. Cheeks dampening the side of my shirt.
I have known.
I have known his kind smile (not forced, never forced) and I see his lips fumble, fumbling, upon the overwhelming comfort.
Stupid, stupid man. The world does not deserve his kindness, they do not deserve him, and his sense of a squirrel, and his hopeful eyes to a trivial, humane need such as comfort.
Whatever labour they have done, they brought upon this man. Of good and gold. Of nature and luck. Of peace, never-ending peace.
Of kindness over anger.

Villain Izuku
Reading through the “Villain Izuku”-tag is so weird.
Like, you have a bunch of different approaches:
“The League were the good guys actually” (UwU they’re just misunderstood)
“Society was mean to me, so that means it’s fine if I murder thousands of innocents”
“Izuku is a Super Mastermind and all the crazies among the Villains are totally fine with following his orders, since he gives them Results and would never betray them because he’s so smart and cool”
“The useless quirkless kid with no value was kidnapped by the Villains and forced to do Villain-things (instead of them just... you know, recruiting an obviously-useful Villain), but he secretly wants to be a Hero“
“Morally grey means that I can tell everyone that they suck, and they still have to be nice to me, because I’m so cool”
And having a bunch of different types is great, but like... I’m sorry, what?
Izuku is a molotov-cocktail of suppressed rage, and I can easily see him getting in trouble with the law simply because he used lethal force against someone he shouldn’t have (because he considered them a threat, and other people disagreed).
I could see him growing heavily disillusioned with the Hero Industry, and the way that they’re “enforcing the status-quo”, up until he finally snaps and tries to force a revolution.
I can even see him becoming a Vigilante pre-UA, and using enough violence that he falls into the category of “Villain who attacks Villains” rather than being referred to as a “Vigilante”.
Or have him try to reach out to help people through internet-forums until he accidentally creates an organization that’s technically-illegal, and he defends it to the death on behalf of how it lets him help people.
But like... those two sets of “Villain Izuku” don’t have a lot of overlap, do they?
The League is an organization led by an egocentric man-child, and funded by a sadistic monster who thinks that human experimentation is actually totally okay (since he’s the one doing it).
Izuku buckling to the pressure of society and deciding to murder innocents (for the lolz), rather than drag society kicking and screaming through a revolution (with some unfortunate innocent casualties)? Lame.
Setting up Izuku to be BBC’s Moriarty? That kind of character-story was doomed from the start (because it doesn’t make any fucking sense), and trying to follow in BBC’s deranged footsteps isn’t really a good look.
Kidnapping a quirkless kid because they won’t be missed? Sure. Forcing them to do “Villainy”? Nah. Quirkless kids are worthless (everyone knows that) just recruit someone with a properly Villainous-quirk instead. If you just want to write whump, have them rescue him from some kind of sadistic cage-match set-up instead, at least that would give the Villains a good motive to traumatize him (nobody would bet on the quirkless kid, but holy shit look at the violent little bastard go).
And “morally grey means that I’m just better than you people”? Ugh. I get that trying to write an “and our hero swoops in and saves the day”-fic is difficult to do when the problem is a societal one instead of someone trying to punch people in the face, but geez.
It’s just... I really don’t understand this fandom sometimes.

Midnight Musings. Confessions in the Night: The Vigilante's Dilemma
The night was thick with tension as Izuku Midoriya, known to the world as the vigilante Phoenix, stood on the balcony of Yuki Amano's apartment, his heart pounding in his chest. He had come here with a purpose, a mission to finally confess his feelings to the girl who had captured his heart with her kindness and resilience.
But as he peered through the glass door, Izuku's determination wavered, replaced by a sudden rush of uncertainty. What if Yuki rejected him? What if she didn't feel the same way? These thoughts swirled in his mind, threatening to consume him whole.
With a deep breath, Izuku pushed aside his doubts and resolved to face his fears head-on. He would do whatever it took to win Yuki's heart, even if it meant risking rejection. Steeling himself, he reached for the door handle, only to freeze as a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning.
He was still wearing his vigilante outfit.
Cursing his forgetfulness, Izuku glanced down at the green and black costume that clung to his frame, the symbol of Phoenix emblazoned proudly across his chest. He couldn't confess his feelings to Yuki while dressed as a vigilante; it would only complicate things further.
With a resigned sigh, Izuku turned to leave, intent on returning home to change into something more suitable for a heartfelt confession. But before he could make his escape, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by the soft click of the bedroom door opening.
Panic surged through Izuku's veins as he realized he was trapped, caught between the desire to reveal his true feelings and the need to maintain his secret identity. In a split-second decision, he dove beneath Yuki's bed, praying that she wouldn't notice his presence.
As Yuki entered the room, Izuku held his breath, his heart pounding in his ears as he listened to her movements. To his relief, she seemed oblivious to his presence, lost in her world as she began to act out a scene from one of her daydreams.
Izuku's cheeks burned crimson as he listened to Yuki's fantasies, her voice filled with longing and passion as she spoke of dating a fictional character named Mikaela. It was both endearing and agonizing to hear, knowing that he could never compete with the image of her perfect fantasy.
But as he lay there in silence, Izuku couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for Yuki, her vulnerability tugging at his heartstrings in ways he never thought possible. She was so much more than he had ever imagined, a complex and multifaceted person with hopes and dreams of her own.
And at that moment, as he lay hidden beneath her bed, Izuku made a silent vow to himself. He would do whatever it took to win Yuki's heart, even if it meant revealing his true identity as Phoenix. For she was worth more to him than anything in this world, and he would stop at nothing to make her his own.

Mini Event: Hacked by Kacchan
Tumblr media
After a few punctuated presses of his keyboard, Katsuki grinned like a fiend when Deku's blog opened up to him. "I'm fuckin' in!" he exclaimed.
He began hastily typing away on his first blog post.
"The dumbass nerd thought I couldn't hack his blog. Guess who's fuckin' in right now?! Ask me questions and maybe I'll give you some good dirt on Deku!"
OOC: Yes, I'm stealing this idea from @oncforallxbroccoli
Ask Katsuki questions about Izuku. See if he gives you damning information about Izuku or if he decides to play nice. Flood the inbox.
