💕 - BNHA?

Blessed with anons today let's talk My Hero ships.

Over on my main I have this shipping chart that I made last year that goes over a lot of the main cast's dynamics in my mind. It's a little out dated though so I'm excited to talk about it again

Also this one too got a little long so under the cut it goes

I am once again showing my entire ass here as when a fandom has a lot of characters I tend to pick my favorite and ship them with everyone, and said favorite for MHA is my wonderful son Neito Monoma

Right off the bat my absolute favorite is Monoma/Ojiro/Shinso. I'm fully obsessed with them, the ABC of polycules I adore

I was super attached to Monoma/Aoyama for a while there as well, just for the French Fan vibes of it

Monoma/Izuku is solid, cute, possibility for fluff

Momona/Bakugo is better, rougher, harsher, cannot stop being mean to eachother for a second

My boyfriend has shown me the light that is Monoma/Kirishima and I refuse to elaborate but it's god tier

I saw Monoma/Iida exactly once and I've never recovered they do not mesh well but I think it'd be funny

Monoma/Sero is just a one sided crush I thought about for a while when Monoma was speaking in my headspace at all times

Monoma/Honenuki is very good, the no energy and too much energy

Never minded Monoma/Kendo, especially as queerplatonics

Monoma/Tetsutetsu, smartass and his enabler himbo

Monoma/Mirio is funny to me because Mirio is so so SO mean to Monoma for no reason and I think Monoma really looks up to Mirio

Monoma/Mei queerplatonics in a very Aro way

Monoma/Kuroiro feels very age regresser and carer to me and I'm never letting it go, little baby Kuroiro

Ah ha. I'm biased. Now to literally everyone else.

The age old Izuku/Bakugo is strong in my heart I will not lie. They were dating in elementary in my head.

Also basic but Bakugo/Kirishima is just as up there if not more so I am not immune to bro but romantic

Iida/Mei but Mei is aromantic and Iida did not consent to being her boyfriend but he is

Iida/Ochaco was my first My Hero Ship believe it or not he’s got the money she wants and also respects her so much and also the Bi/Pan energy of the two of them. Solid.

Same vein quickly fell for Ochaco/Bakugo?? He respects her, sees her as an equal, and she honestly almost has him. I think she could kick his ass and he is really in to that.

Uraraka/Toga is *Chefs kiss* obsessive girlfriend, unhinged, cat like relationship. Babe what's in your MOUTH

Kirishima and Mina dated in middle school

Todoroki/Inasa is something I post about often I adore them so much the height different the Very Much that is Inasa and chill that is Shoto

But also Shoto/Inasa/Tenya is very very very solid two wide chest loud autistics and their scrawny quiet boyfriend and they all kiss

Alone in this one but I think Koda/Shoji is really really cute they both give the best hugs in the class and should hug more often

Tokoyami/Aoyama is 10/10 raven and love for shiny things cute. Include Dark Shadow as her own person and make it a polycule

Kuroiro/Tokoyami darkness on darkness edgy teens role playing a darker tale in the darkness. I love them. Kuroiro very certainly has a crush on Tokoyami

Even better tho Kuroiro/Komori?? He has such a crush on her he is so quiet she has been talking about mushrooms for 43 minutes and he has heard every word and loves her. "Excuse me. He asked for no pickles"

Kendo/Tetsu is very "THAT'S MY WIFE!!!!!" energy and that's my favorite kind of male energy. What a himbo

Tamaki/Mirio/Nejire/Yuyu 3rd year polycule is everything to me. Tamaki can and will swear but only when Nejire is pissing him off on purpose

I am not immune to Aizawa/Hizashi friends to lovers to old married couple propaganda.

Same vein is Vlad/Houndog tho as they are the exact same situation same age same time period just class B flavored

One more then would be the wlw flavored version which is Midnight/Ms. Joke. Love them.

While we're talking about UA Alumni; Tensei and Koichi had like. A thing. He flirted mega hard core with him in Vigilantes and I think they made out real hard

Toshinori/David as well had something going on in collage and certainly still have feelings for one another and I love that for them

All Might/Sir Nighteye as well. Had a thing, broke up, was still in love with him till the very end

Every once in a while I get a glimpse at the glory that is All Might/Fatgum and I simply must admire it. Just sweet yellow heroes being sweet. Self ship polycule possibilities

Fatgum/Rappa is FANtastic and should be around more honestly. The obsession. The roughness. The big boyfriend possibilities. More self ship polycule thoughts all the time

Toga/Twice isn't one I talk about often but the vibes are so there. He loves her so much he can barely stand it

Gentle/LaBrava was so very much my gender I'm so incredibly in love with them I hope they get married by the end of the series

Compress/Gentle queerplatonics

Compress/Magne queerplatonics as well

Kurogiri/Compress has grown on me in fandom only

Twice/Compress is ideal mostly because self ship polycule reasons

Tomura/Suichi is the peak of Shigiraki ships for me. They are gamer boyfriends. They are a boss and his right hand. They are against the world together.

Shigiraki/Dabi/Hawks was something I was following for a while and it's faded in and out sense Twice's death

Hawks/Endeavor is the same kind of thing, a friend got me into it with his self ship dynamic but sense he's stopped talking about it I've been back and forth on it. Homewrecker slut Hawks is funny tho

Tomura/Izuku is very very good in my opinion especially villain Izuku raised by OFA along side Tomura like brothers?? Lovely. Canon's good too don't get me wrong. I just love them as bros raised to replace AFO's brother. Parallels

Speaking off All For One/Yoichi is my brainrot. Love a brother who's so obsessed with his brother he'd do anything to bring him back over and over and over again. He's off his rocker. I love it

Any combination of AFO/All Might, AFO/Izuku, or AFO/Tomura all hit the above for me perfectly and I adore it to no end

Exact opposite energy is Toshinori/Izuku which I think is sweet and cute at times

Toshinori/Bakugo tho is PEAK. Bakugo AGGRESSIVELY taking care of All Might because the old fool won’t take care of himself. Serious Tsundere action. “Young Bakugo”. I think they’re sweet and love a chance to housewife Katsuki Bakugo

I could be convinced to get on the Rody/Izuku train, purely by my nephew who saw the movie with me and was concerned Izuku was going to cheat on Bakugo with Rody.

Mr. Genova: Instructions for Use

Hello there! I recently got to re-read Hetalia’s story about Napoleon in occasion of a trip in Corsica, and suddently remembered this adorable little guy. While there are a lot of wonderful people that took the mantle and tried to give character and story to what are actually just 2 sketches from 3y ago, I also noticed some disappointment (understandable) and…. misinformation from lack of context and historical knowledge about the topic. I know that seeing the 4th italian brother when maybe your country isn’t in yet can be frustrating, but trust me when I say that Genova is a very important character for many of the events that occurred between the middle-ages and WWII (does Colombo ring a bell?).

With that said let’s try to discover together who actually was is Mr.Genova!

Why Genova and not Genoa? Genova is the correct italian name of the republic/city while Genoa is it's english version and, incidentally, the name of Genova's most renowed football team. So just like for Venezia and Roma we'll keep the original pronunciation.

In this first part we’ll talk about Genova design

[Original sketch by Hima, I just polished and colored it to better convey my ideas about his design.]

I’ve heard people complaining that “he just seems like a fusion of Romano and France”, funnily enough not only the comparison is quite on point, but it’s coherent with Genova’s history and probably intentional on Hima’s side.

To understand what I mean let’s look at a little map of modern Italy

We can immediatly notice some things ->

1) Liguria (the name given to Genova’s historical territories after the city became “capoluogo di regione” in 1948) borders with France and Monaco. For all it’s life Genova had to fend against France and would often end under it’s dominion for brief periods; at the same time their vicinity favored a similar culture and language (with one BIG exeption we'll see another time): Monaco and Corsica, previously territories of Genova, retain a great resemblance with Ligurian when speaking their actual language, aka Corso and Monegasco. At the same time Ligurian presents some elements common in french that are actually absent in standard italian.

2) Genova is situated in front of the Ligurian sea and has open access to all of west-Mediterraneum, becoming the most important harbor in north-west Italy since it gained his autonomy from the HRE around 1096 A.D. Due to Liguria peculiar geografical conformation (no plains and the Alps-Appenines isolating Genova from the rest of north Italy, favoring a climatic bubble that makes the region a greener version of the south) our republic decided to limit it's expansion towards northen countries and instead focus on the Mediterraneum sea, becoming Spain and by proxy South Italy best commercial/political buddy till (almost) the end of it’s indipendent life.

3bonus) Yes guys Seborga is a little town in the Ligurian hinterland and was part of the Genovese republic. While Seborga's story is really interesting (might do a focus in the future) the general history and culture of the 2 is the same.

NOTE: every time I use the term “Italy” during any period pre 1861 consider it only as the geographical meaning of the peninsula (Italy as a country wasn't a thing till then).

PALETTE AND DESIGN

With this introduction in mind it makes sense for little Genova to have his hair styled similar to France and a darker shade compared to Veneziano. While the dark gray used by Hima could hint at both black and dark brown, the latter is by far the most common color in Liguria so I decided to go with that.

His eyes are anybody’s game to be fair, but I decided to be as faithful as possible to the average ligurian so, just like Feli and Lovi when Hima decides that his eyes aren’t olive anymore, brown/light brown is the most common color in Italy (+ we already have Seborga as the random flashy neighbouring brother).

To end our palette the skin tone could be an in between: probably darker that a Northener but lighter than a Southener (no mayor arabic nor germanic influences here)

CLOTHES AND ACCESSORIES

clothes -> nothing too important to say, the clothes are fit for the XVIII sec., they shows Genova’s status as a wealthy commercial republic and unofficial bank of Europe (yup, before Switzerland Genova had that role and it’s banks are considered the oldest in Europe). As long as the colors used aren’t too flashy everything is fine.

crown thingy(?) -> now this is where things become interesting. There are 3 possible options I could think as of why Genova, of all the possible accessories, has a crown when it wasn’t even a monarchy. Pick what you prefer or feel free to add your personal interpretation if you want.

1) money and superbia: as written before, during it's prime Genova was a wealthy republic, lending money to half of Europe and being the indiscussed queen of west-Mediterraneum (ofc Venezia was the queen of east-Mediterraneum, but that’s another story for another post). The city even got the nickname “Superba” to enanche the grandiosity and way too much pride of it’s people. A crown would be a fitting choice for someone who is probably a bit narcisist.

2) city status: in ancient paintings the personifications of countries and cities were made recognizable by the presence of a little crown on their head. Adding to that, in Italy to be a full fledged town or city you must receive a crown symbol to put on your emblem, maybe Hima is hinting at Genova actual predicament.

3) the Lanterna: I’ll admit the first thing I tought while looking at Genova was “that looks like a little tower”. A bit strange, but actually not farfetched; if you have ever visited Genova you’ll know what I mean when I say this city has a lot, and I say A LOT of towers positioned trough the historical center. The reason? To protect themselves from the French/Ottomans/eventual pirates, in the XVI sec. Genova decided to build a massive system of walls and towers that surrounded the city. There is also a specific tower that is considered the symbol of Genova itself “la Lanterna”. The Lanterna is the oldest Lighthouse still in function trough Europe; maybe if you glance at its modern look it doesn’t scream “tower”, but before it was semi-destroyed by the French army in 1513 A.D. Lanterna beared a striking resemblance to what Mr.Genova is wearing.

“MUGUGNO LIBERO”

Last but not least, the infamous pout that gave Genova the label of “Romano 2.0”. It’s not random, it’s not wrong, it’s such a toughtful and unexpected touch that Hima would be declared honored guest by any Genovese (and made me personally laugh like an idiot for an hour).

What Genova is doing here has a specific term in the local language, mugugnare!

What is “mugugnare”? Mugugnare is a peculiar way of complaining and rambling specific of the Ligurians. This act is soo ingraned into the culture of the region that it’s considered an art and will take a good part of any conversation you’ll have with a local.

I’ll be more specific when we’ll touch Genova possible characterization, just you know that where Romano is loud, pretty offensive and direct the mugugno is more subtle and passive-aggressive. It can and WILL BE directed at anything, from the weather to jobs to Venezia and the rest of the north.

This finally brings us in what defines most of the characters of Hetalia, the wonderful land of stereotypes.

See you in the next part where we’ll talk about the temperament and culture of what is often considered the “black sheep” of north Italy!
