Thelreads, MHA 289, Replies Part 2

1) “Yep, just as bad as I would expect.”- Uraraka’s never once considered using her Quirk in a lethal manner, and is horrified it was done using her power, but from Toga’s perspective, it was Uraraka’s power and the connection between them that saved her that time, which is another reason she’s speaking to her now, wanting confirmation that it wasn’t just a “mistake” and all being in her head.

2) “URARAKA USED HER HOOKS, BUT SHE AIMED STRAIGHT AT TOGA, LIKE, SHE DID REALLY TRY TO STAB HER AFTER HEARING THAT

HOLY SHIT MAN

I MEAN, OKAY I UNDERSTAND, BUT I WASN’T EXPECTING A REACTION LIKE THAT FROM URARAKA OF ALL PEOPLE”- It is possible to wrap somebody up in the lines, but whilst Toga’s equipment is normally used for the intent of stabbing and draining blood, here, she only uses them to retaliate in kind after Uraraka attacked her in anger when she was bearing her heart out to her- badly, but still. 3) “OH NO NOT THE FLATSCREEN HOW ARE WE GONNA WATCH [insert popular tv series here]NOW?”- Cracks in the screen dividing the image, like the divide that grows ever deeper between these two girls over the misunderstanding. 4) “Uraraka just doesn’t understand what Toga is trying to get at, but we do. She is trying to get uraraka to understand her, to see who she is, to see her as person.

This is a desperate attempt from Toga to reveal who she is in the hopes that one hero will see her as something besides a monster.

And it’s not working.”- At her lowest, it was Uraraka’s power that saved her. Now, at her lowest, she turns to the girl herself for aid….and it doesn’t work out, convincing her the only sanctuary in this world rests with the league – what’s left of it, anyway. 5) “OH MY GOD TOGA THIS SCENE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SAD BUT I’M LAUGHING AT YOU RUNNING LIKE A KINDERGARTEN THAT JUST STOLE ANOTHER KID’S TOY”- A taste perhaps, of what their relationship could have been like if they’d grown up meeting each other before becoming a hero or a villain. 6) “OH OKAY BACK TO THE FUCKING HEARTBREAK I SUPPOSE THANK YOU HORIKOSHI FOR LETTING ME LAUGH FOR FIVE SECONDS BEFORE STABBING ME ON THE GUT AGAIN”- Toga tries to relate to Uraraka by bringing up something she also values just as much, but fails again to understand that she’s not explained to Uraraka that he’s dead and the connection they shared is gone, whereas Uraraka and Izuku’s is still intact. 7) “OH MY GOD SHE’S BITING IT BECAUSE THAT’S HOW SHE EXPRESSES LOVE HORIKOSHI PLEASE CAN YOU LET ME CATCH MY BREATH BEFORE ANOTHER BLOW?”- Getting a taste of the loving and stable relationship that she so craves, but can just never seem to get right. If she’d ever had a similar token from that kid who she first stabbed, I bet she’d have kept it on her all this time. 8) “Also, good for you, Elsa, but those feelings refuse to be shut down. They’ll strike when you least expect.”- Uraraka means she’s shut down the romantic feelings and attraction to Izuku in order to be a more effective hero who can support him, not that she’s gotten rid of them for good. It stops her being an ineffective love interest ham stung by her emotions at crucial moments, as has been done in other manga. Yet ironically, it’s precisely those feelings that would have made her an effective hero to Toga here, able to relate to her somewhat and show that she’s not alone 9) “Oh okay, Toga seems to have like that particular point, I have a feeling she took that on a positive note, and I can kind see why, from what we’ve seen of her backstory she also repressed her feelings for a long time, before they burst forth and everything spiraled out of control.”- Toga thinks that Uraraka hates having to repress her true self, where in actuality, Uraraka would hate herself for being ineffective because of those same feelings in a crisis, unable to focus on saving people if she thinks/knows Izuku’s in danger. It’s born in part from Nighteye’s death during the Hassaki raid and feeling she maybe could have done more to help him, even if her emotions didn’t really impede her back then. 10) “Oh my god toga is so desperate trying to get Uraraka to understand but it just

doesn’t work

no matter what

they are talking about different things, they are worrying about different things”- Toga isn’t even wrong here really. Uraraka not facing her true emotions down and reconciling them with Izuku means they’re at risk of gradually growing underneath that repression, potentially resulting in another outburst when she can least afford it. But here and now, Uraraka’s feeling haven’t gotten that far yet, and she’s focused on the present chaos, rather than seeking a compromise with Toga that could lead to a happier future for her. In a way, this fight is a microcosm of the larger conflict between heroes and Villains, and how failure to communicate only deepens the conflicts and the escalation between both sides. 11) “I do agree with you Uraraka, but the thing that you don’t understand, that Toga was trying to make you understand, is that she is not doing it out of evil. She’s doing it because it’s how she expresses her love. That’s what makes it worse, she doesn’t want to cause pain, she wants to share her feelings, but the way she does it is completely incompatible with others

Toga needs to be stopped, that there is no doubt, and I’m sure you’re gonna do that, but I hope that when the time comes, you at least understand who she is.”- Toga gets battered by Uraraka’s satelites, because of how chaotic they are in the cramped space, but it also represents the final rejection of Uraraka getting through her naive hopes and directly hurting her with the harsh truth of the inevitability of them coming to blows, no matter how much Toga wishes it would be otherwise. 12) “SHE WAS FUCKING CRYING HORIKOSHI WHY YOU DO THAT TO ME YOU BASTARD”- And of course, it’s only when Toga gives up on the possibility of them understanding each other that Uraraka finally realises there was more to her words than her being a villain, or trying to taunt her like she thought she was. It’s only once it’s too late for reconciliation that the other side realises what they let slip through their fingers. 13) “Oh Toga is going back to them? that’s surprising, considering who’s there right now, but I suppose that she doesn’t blame Dabi the same way that we do. She does seem to be hurt about him not caring that much, but she definitely doesn’t blame him.

And, meanwhile, I feel like Uraraka has finally understood Toga, even if it was too little too late”- She really has nothing else, no other source of support or comfort from her pain, no matter how off-put she is about Dabi’s flippancy towards the loss of twice. 14) “AND THERE HE IS, RIGHT ON TIME

THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS-UP IDA, WE WOULD NEVER KNOW HE WAS ON ITS WAY”- The Rock, the Hard Place, and the poor saps stuck in between both. 15) “THE CARDS ARE STACKED, ALL THE MAJOR PLAYERS ARE HERE AND READY.THE GAME IS ABOUT TO BEGIN”- Not everybody will be walking away from this. Can you guess who’ll be left afterwards?

16) “There’s a lot to talk here. Mostly about Toga’s failed attempt to connect to a person she feel could understand her and realizing that no matter what she’ll always be seen as a monster no matter how much she tries to be understood.”- And the fact that she’s proved wrong about that only after she’d truly given up hope. Oh Cruel irony, you bite deep… @thelreads

You ask them to take dancing lessons with you~ Katsuki Bakugo Headcanon

❖ MHA/BNHA, Katsuki Bakugo x Gender Neutral Reader

❖ Headcanon, Writing Prompt, Fluff, Comedy, Established Relationship au

❖ Tw: None

❖ wc: 289

❖ Mwa~ ❖ Masterlist ❖

. ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

Thinking of doing this prompt for more people~

. ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

The dance life didn’t pick him and he didn’t pick the dance life

HE is literally only here because you had been so excited about it and wanted to try it with him

Being used to being good at everything is not helpful when you find something that does not actually come naturally but he takes it in stride and works his ass off to become the best

Bakugos approach to this is the same as his approach to becoming a hero

Probably because Kirishima asked him what he would do if he ever had to go undercover at a big wigs party, or if either of you were asked to an award or charity gala. So you can thank Kirishima for helping you get him as a dance partner

He pays good money for these classes for you both and what you thought was going to be a laughing funny, or cute couple bonding thing is now a life or death strict training matter

You might want to quit easily but he is not letting it go until he can twirl and whirl you around the dance floor in perfect form

Its when you finally dance at a party that he lightens up and you both enjoy it because he notices the other dancers taking it as more an emotional bonding time than a life or death fight for life or competition

After that expect little dance moments with you both to be sweet things he does to help you relax, or to get you in a romantic mood

Think candlelit dinner at home then slow dancing to old-school waltz music in the living room with deep, longing kisses full of all the love he has for you

All Togachako moments

I will try to keep this post updated, but under cut here is all Togachako moments. The list goes through all the BNHA material (manga, novels, anime fillers, movies etc.). Keep in mind that there will be spoilers of the manga. The number is the manga chapter.

You can also check the screenshots of each moment here.

TOGACHAKO

MANGA

073: In the forest, Toga is looking for some students to attack and she finds Tsuyu and Ochako

080: After attacking Uraraka, Toga introduceses himself and announces that Tsuyu and Uraraka are very cute

080: Toga also already knowns Uraraka and Tsuyu´s names, and wishes to get more blood from the little she got out of Ochako

080: We also have a scene of Uraraka using her combat training for the first time against Toga, and which Toga replies that Ochako is a lovely one, and she has her same scent

080: Toga immediately understands that there is someone Uraraka is crushing on, and that she wants to be just like him, and Uraraka is surprised Toga basically understood her so well. Froppy ends the fight and Toga runs away.

105: Toga disguises herself as Uraraka to understand Deku better, and she finds out that Deku truly trusts Uraraka

106: Uraraka intervenes when Toga transforms back into Camie. She jumps out of the way and Uraraka is impressed by her reflexes. Before leaving, Toga/Camie comments that Deku really trusts "her".

109: Uraraka thinks back to Toga's words, to the way she was seen (how she wants to be like Deku), and decides to push aside her feelings for Deku to focus on training

156: Toga, a true wild card, decides to betray Overhaul and in the mix of it she uses Deku's blood to go check on Uraraka and call her to where she is needed

223: While talking with the LOV, Toga announces that she loves Stain, she loves Izuku and Ochako too and she wants to become them because of it

226: In true danger, against the other villains, Toga tries to escape and without even thinking she transforms into Uraraka from the remaining blood she had of her

226: Toga thinks back about Ochako, who is a girl Izuku trusts, about how much she wants to be her, like the one she loves. While escaping she is surprised to find out that she can use, for the first time, the quirk of the person she is copying: OChako's quirk. She uses it to kill the villains in pursuit and she smiles, glad to be even more like the people she loves

227: Injured and covered in blood, Toga comments that now she feels even closer to them (Uraraka and Deku)

287: During the war and after Twice's death, Toga can only think about wanting to ask Izuku and Ochako about their heroic spirits. She has saw an hero killing Twice, and she knows heroes kill people, so she wonders if heroes just didn't see Twice as a person. She is shocked by Twice's death but she knows she will be fine, depending on their answers to her question

288: Toga feels gloomy and confused, she cannot wait anymore so she needs to go ask Ochako her question. She leaves her supposed spot and her job to go look for Ochako

288: At the end of the chapter, after finding Uraraka and Tsuyu, she lures Ochako away with a transformation. She transforms back right in front of Ochako

288: Toga attacks Uraraka, who is quite confused, and asks her "What do you wanna do to me?", where the answer of course implies if Ochako considers her human or not

289: Toga explains Uraraka about how thinking about the people she loves make her emotional, but how she feels different from others, and how others have tried to kill her because of who she is

289: Toga steals the All Might's keychain, repeating that her and Ochako are the same. Ochako tells her that they are not the same because she put her feelings aside, at which Toga explains that if she bottles them up they'll get worse

289: Ochako finally answers Toga's question saying that if she chooses to live like this then she must face the consequences. Toga runs away crying, saying that her confusion is all cleared, and later Ochako thinks back on it.

324: Ochako is speaking up for her classmates, to save them, and when she talks about a future where they can smile together the image of Toga, crying, pops up into her head

341: Toga's quirk is clarified, and if the person is closer to her heart then she means she can use their quirk, as she did with Ochako

342: On the rooftop, talking with Izuku, Uraraka explains that she feels weird because she wants to save Toga. She said that she fought her and she took a lot of things for granted, in return Toga appeared sad.

345: Ochako has been sent to Toga's location as she was the one planned to fight her

347: Ochako looks at Toga attacking Deku, probably understanding that Toga attacks people actually out of genuine love and affection

348: Toga asks Izuku her question "What do you want to do to me?" and Uraraka think back about their encounter, probably realizing that that question holds the key to Toga's love

348: With Izuku rejecting Toga, Toga decides that Izuku and Ochako are just the same as everyone else and she rejectes them. Uraraka thinks back about how sad she looked.

349: Uraraka announces that she will be living her life following what is right, which is probably saving Toga

375: Toga fights against Tsuyu and Ochako, but ends up tricking them and drinking Twice blood. Ready to leave the field, Ochako tries to stop her by asking her to talk about love. That seems to make Toga hesitate, before she leaves in the portal with a sad expression, saying that she wishes she could.

376: Ochako attempts to communicate with Toga, asking her to have their chat about love, but Toga refuses and for the first time she calls her just "hero", instead of Ochako-chan.

382: We have the confirmation that Toga can only fully transforms into the people she loves. When she cannot use Twice's quirk to fully recplicate Shigaraki's, Uraraka finds her because she is crying, and thinks back about how she cannot ignore her tears.

ANIME EXTRAS AND FILLER

In season 6, the match between Toga and Ochako is enhanced, with a bit more interaction compared to the manga.

The first OP of season 6 also has a Togachako moment added, where Ochako turns around to look at Toga's handkerchief, flowing in the wind

So who wants to see toga having the worst day of her life? Oh I don't mind if I do, thank you... Sure, a lot of people are dying in horrific ways, but damn even them would be like "that girl right there stabbing an innocent old lady and stealing her skin, she definitely needs a hug right now, fr."

Its time for BNHA, continuing right where we left, as mentioned above. The angst is approaching critical mass right now, the only thing missing is someone kicking a puppy and we'll definitely cross the threshold of singularity. True despair be upon those kids, on Chapter 289: Miss Candid and Miss Shut-away

alright what the fuck is that title

horikoshi? Hori- Don't ignore me, what the fuck is that title-

And he ignored me. Damn. Alright we'll figure it out on our own

Meanwhile, let's see Hadou and Ida rushing towards the epicenter of death, even though Ida very clearly was not invited for the party. Look man, if you get turned into dust I'm blaming it solely on you.

Yeah but considering the main one is midoriya and the lesson he always gives is "destroy yourself to save others" I have a feeling this won't end that well for you.

At least you're smarter than your brother. Fucking love that guy.

Kamino's Ward by tunafishprincess

Izuku Midoriya worked hard to become a symbol of hope for the Quirk users of his time, fighting against a government that saw his family as little more than criminals.

Now, he awakens to a time not his own, a dazed and confused 15-year-old boy in a world that no longer needs him.

All Might knew he needed to find a successor. He just wasn’t expecting said successor to bang him in the head with a shield that belonged in their world’s history museum.

All for One just wants his son back.

I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to produce art for one of my most favourite fics in the world, and @tunafishprincess, you are a beautiful gem with amazing art and writing skills and thank you so much for wanting a commission! Go and read her fics and love her art, or else💙 (literally thank you so much💙💙💙💙🐟👑)

Also support me mayhaps 👀

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

One for All October will be an event in October dedicated to producing Yoichi-centric fics and art, hosted by McFaneLy and Katydid. This event will run between October 1st all the way through till Halloween!

Rules:

We will have an art and writing category. Anything focused on Yoichi qualifies. If an artwork, then he must be prominently featured. If a fic, then Yoichi must be one of the main characters.

You may submit as many entries as you’d like. However, you will only be eligible to win once in each category.

The minimum word count for a fic is 1,000 words. Drawings must be colored.

Fics should not have any explicit sexual content. For artwork, no extreme blood or gore and no nudity/pornography/NSFW. Mild gore is allowed.

To qualify, an entry must be posted by October 31, 2022, 11:59 AM EST.

Prizes:

First place in both art and writing will receive prizes from both of us: a half-body color artwork from McFaneLy and a fic of a minimum of 2,500 words from Katydid. We both will also be offering honorable mention prizes of sketches and snippets. One honorable mention will be given out randomly to ensure that everyone has a chance to win.

The number of prizes will depend on the number of entries we get. We will not do NSFW content and we reserve the right to ask for a different request.

Submission:

Please use the hashtag #One for All October if you submit your entry on Tumblr or Archive of Our Own. Also, please @ both of us if you post on Tumblr or Discord. If you post elsewhere online, then you can message either of us with a link to your entry.

Optional Prompts:

These prompts are completely optional and only to help inspire you. You do not have to use a prompt, nor do they correspond with any day of posting. This is not a fic-a-day event, you can simply draw or write as much as you'd like between the event dates! Be that one fic, one art piece, or multiple! If you submitted a prompt that didn’t make the final cut then you can still do art/write a fic with it. Thank you to everyone who submitted prompt ideas to us!

#without thinking ‘mcdonald’s cashier who still causes incidents every time he’s at the register despite having been here for fifteen years’

My Top Posts in 2022:

Want to cry about Johnchurch today, because apparently I do

I think about… Lucretia could only erase what she could write down. And Merle was the only one who ever went into Parley. Merle was the only one who ever met John. And Merle (Clint) notoriously has a bad memory. Whatever recap he gave to the crew, and to Lucretia for her journals, was never going to be all that detailed.

(And I’m willing to wager, even out of what he did remember, he didn’t tell them ALL of it. Some of those moments were private.)

So Lucretia does her best, but her erasure of the Parley sessions is… spotty. Incomplete. Merle can’t remember WHO the man in a suit that he played chess with was, or what happened to him, or where he met him. But he remembers the man’s face, in snatches and moments. He remembers a tumbled mix of emotions—anger, exasperation, worry, hope, pain. Never fear. He remembers thinking he probably ought to be afraid, that most people would be, that it would make a lot more sense to be afraid. But fear was never quite the right description of what he felt, thinking of the man in the suit.

His memories of the man in the suit are… strange. Fractured. His head hurts if he tries to think about them for too long or too closely, if he tries too hard to remember, to put it back in context. But snatches of their conversation drift to him, across the years. Strange, sometimes incomprehensible snippets, where the words out of his own mouth don’t make any damn sense.

(This works, by the way, with the headcanon that Merle’s spotty memory occasionally spits out something backward, something ought-to-be-voidfished, like when he says in the first episode that he feels like he and Magnus and Taako have grown apart. There’s a little bit more of an opening, a little bit more of a handhold for the memories to pry their way back in, than there is for the others.)

And he knows—senses, remembers, intuits—that he shouldn’t tell anyone else about his memories of the man in the suit. He feels, with an almost violent certainty, utterly strange considering how vague his memories of the man himself are, that no one else would understand. So he stays quiet. The man lives in his head and his fogged memories, at once intrusive and comforting. The man was important to him, or is important to him still. Merle isn’t sure which one it is. He’s never been one to let himself get stuck on quandaries, theological, existential, physical, or otherwise, though, so he lets it be. He’ll meet the man again one day. He feels quite sure of that. In the right moment, and the right place, he’ll meet the man again, and something about his shambles of a life will click back into place.

The day of Story and Song happens, and everything rushes back, and the only moment of calm he gets for the next several hours is the near-silent goodbye on the beach, during which he and John do nothing but exist side by side, for a little while. It’s all either of them really want or are able to do. Anything else is too messy, too painful. This way, it ends in peace.

Everyone else—all the other members of the red robes—they will have time to reconcile, to work through piecing back together their shattered memories and disjointed lives. Merle will have time for a proper talk with Lucretia, for a joyful reunion with Lup. He’ll have time to sit down at a table with Davenport a week later and play euchre, until both of them, almost without warning, find that they’re both crying. He’ll have time to pull his kids onto his lap and tell them his own version of the Story, of how they fit into it. He’ll have time to puzzle his life back into a complete picture.

He doesn’t get time with John.

He’s walked around with a half-static memory of the man for a decade, and there’s no time to process the truth before they have to say goodbye.

No one else knew him. No one else will ever mourn him. Everyone else is celebrating his demise. If there’s grief, it’s only Merle’s.

His end is peaceful, by the shore, and silent, because Merle has no time to unpick all the things he wants to say.

That’s alright, though. They both know that’s alright. John’s been muddled too, if differently, unable to think clearly for years, crushed beneath the collective scream of The Hunger. It’s a blessing to have that moment of clarity and peace at all.

They don’t need to say anything. They both already know.

Still, it aches in Merle’s chest at night, sometimes, like the pain of his phantom arm, all the things he might have said and never did.

Do you have any good Humans are space orcs/humans are weird (that kind of thing) short story links?

Hoo okay so the reason that I was asking about the Doctors Without Borders one (which is here, incidentally, and which you should read if you haven't come across it before) is that 1) I have been doing some personal archival work to save some internet stories offline, but 2) I have been historically good about tagging my fandom stuff but have unfortunately left most non-fandom stuff untagged, and by the time I realized I ought to've created a humans are weird tag it was too late, so my blog is Not a good place to try and find them. But, since I'm trying to dig them up for myself anyway, I can share the ones I've managed to find so far. And hey: open invitation to anyone who wants to put links to their favorites of the Humans Are Weird stories in the reblogs or replies!

I'm also going to recommend you check out blogs like @what-are-even-humans and @space-australians, which exist to archive these sorts of stories. I will also do what someone did in the replies of my query post and point you to r/HFY and specifically its sidebar of links to previous classics and must-reads -- I'm not as familiar with that bc I don't use reddit so much but it helped me dig a couple of these back up.

But onto a few highlights:

Stabby the Space Roomba is required reading, he is our beloved Tumblr mascot of Humans Are Weird and you'll see Stabby referenced in other stories like this

Less a humans-specifically-are-weird and more of a Earth-is-a-death-world in general, but as I remember it, this post actually predates the explosion of Humans are Weird/Humans are Space Australians/Humans are Deathworlders on tumblr, and I suspect helped inspire it as people went from "wow our planet is full of weird shit" to "maybe... we also... are some weird shit". Take a wander through the notes of that one, it has a million different branching reblog chains and it's different every time I see it.

Humans Are Unstoppable Until They Aren't

Drake McDougal (Part One) (Part Two) (Alternate Part Two)

Last Contact

You Really Want a Human (Ginna's Story) (Miscellaneous)

I KNOW there are more that I want to find again that I'm gonna have to get creative about searching for (again, open invitation to drop your favorites on this post!) but that's what I have for now and it should get you started.

Hey does anyone have a link to that one particular humans are space orcs post where the premise is like all the other planets are terrified to make contact with humans but then one planet gets the plague and a human ship turns up and it's the space red cross?

Made a Yuri on Ice meme while talking to a friend about genre conventions in sports anime the other day and I feel strongly that I ought to inflict it on the world

[ID: The galaxy brain meme. Next to the smallest brain the text reads, “Yuri doesn’t need a sports anime protagonist superpower because he’s already an internationally competitive figure skater.” Next to the middle brain the test reads, “Yuri doesn’t have a sports anime protagonist superpower, which is not only narratively appropriate for his character but also largely the point of the whole series. He is a skilled and dedicated athlete whose greatest achievements come from passion and tireless hard work, but all of that can only flourish under the support and guidance of people who love him and see his potential, even when he cannot see it himself. YoI is about the achievements that come from commitment, because it is at heart a love story.” Next to the largest brain the text reads, “Yuri’s sports anime protagonist superpower is that he’s sexy.” /end ID]

My #1 post of 2022

The sending stone died before Cerrit made it out. And Cerrit is a full-classed rogue. No Sending, no spells at all. With nothing but destroyed continent beneath him, he’d have no way to contact anyone.

His family had *no idea* he made it out. They very probably assumed he didn’t.

When the entire continent of Dunemas went dark, when the news started to filter back of its destruction, when the scant survivors started trying to reach their families…there was no reason to believe that Cerrit had escaped.

Survivors and their stories emerge—but they’re civilians, mostly. Regular people who escaped on ships, through teleport, through trees.

The ones from Avalir and Cathmoíra have one particular story to tell: at the end, the Herald told them that the ring of gold, the magisters, the leaders of the city would go down with the ship. That no space on what lifeboats they had would be taken from Avalir’s people.

So that’s the answer: Cerrit, too, would have gone down with the ship.

His wife probably had a difficult conversation with their children. Told them about sacrifice, told them sometimes we lose people but they will always love us just the same, told them that their dad sent them away from the city because he loved them more than anything in the world and then spent every last moment he could trying to save as many more people as he could because he was a good man, because he cared so deeply, because he found problems and fixed them. These conversations probably happened amidst panic and chaos, as news of the attack of Vasselheim spread, as the gods descended and magic raged out of control across Exandria, as the Betrayer gods wrought as much destruction as they could cause.

Were they still at home, when Cerrit finally found them? Did their home still exist after all those weeks he took flying across the ocean? Did they need to flee somewhere safer? Did Kir scrawl a note somewhere the wreckage — “Wingspan: gone north-by-northeast. Look for trail markers on the trees” because he’d promised, mom, he promised, and what if he’s coming but he can’t find us because we’re not here? Did Cerrit have to bring every ounce of his investigation and tracking skills — with no magic, no Avalir, no Patia to let him look back at memories, no Quay to inspire him, no Nydas to fund or enchant any helpful items, no partner to compare notes with, nothing but his sharp eyes and his brain and utter fucking determination — to follow after his family, weeks on an already weeks-long journey, slow and messy and fearing every day he might be too late?

Did he show up almost unrecognizable, head to toe in soot and dirt, some new scar from his near brushes with death, some fresh wounds still bound in bandages for want of anyone with healing spell slots? Did he find his family weary, grieving, scared, but whole and—for the moment—safe? Did they even believe it was him at first? Did they fear he was a ghost, or worse, some horror dragged from the wreckage of Avalir and reanimated by an enraged Asmodeus? Did he take off a bandage to show he still bleeds, and bleeds red, did he kiss his children’s heads and call Kir “Talon”, and see Maya clutching the sphere as if she hasn’t let go of it since it landed in her hands, and tell her—voice breaking at the reminder of Patia, at the first thing he has seen in months besides himself that survived Avalir’s destruction—that he is so, so proud of her, and more importantly he loves her so, so much, and then they knew, then they were sure: Cerrit kept his promise.

BNHA 395 - WHAT LIES BEYOND MY HAPPINESS - THOUGHTS part#01

So, Horikoshi actually went over and beyond and dedicated an entire chapter to TogaChako conclusion? DAMN!! I was just hoping for 2-3 panels. This is too much happiness and sadness mixed in a bowl and served to me. Anyways, without further ado let's go:

About Hawks:

I was expecting a reaction from Hawks even if it was just one panel because he was the cause of Toga's suffering. As soon as she entered the battlefield, he demanded to have her killed immediately.

But here in this panel.... he's just sad and his hands are extended as if to show that he is willing to take whatever punishment comes his way, for killing Twice.

He said 'Bubaigawara was a nice guy, right Toga?'

Hawks has been a very complex character, he motivates other people like Endeavour to change for better but he himself doesn't believe that he could change now.

But, maybe his atonement starts from here.

Even if it was ordered from the higher ups, Twice was Hawk's friend and Hawks betrayed him, even if it was for greater good.

So Hawks was sorry because he killed Jin and that's why he was so willing to take the stab from Toga.

I'm hoping we get a conversation between him and Uravity later about this situation. Maybe she could motivate him and lift his worries?

Or maybe not? Because Ochako was already feeling guilty about making toga cry. She would be devastated to find out what Toga did.

But whatever happens, I need at least an interaction between the two symbols of hopes.

Also...

Ochako was right all along?

Remember in ch 391 when she stated facts about Toga? The mere fact that Ochako was right all along, makes it all the more heartbreaking. Toga wasn't able to become Dabi and Shigaraki because her intentions were filled with hatred, although one could argue that her intentions were the same when transforming into Twice but more on that later.

Range of Twice clones:

JUST LOOK AT THE SHEER NUMBER OF TWICE CLONES!!!

Iida, Hawks, Todoroki family and many others at UA barely survived because Ochako managed to stop Toga on time!

I don't even want to imagine what could have happened if Ochako failed her mission.

I feel like now that GUNGA battlefield is done, we are jumping to Aizawa and UA next.

We already know that Twice clones attack UA in a good number, so it would be the perfect chance to show what's happening there.

Plus it's been a long time since we have seen Bakugo. Wonder how things are going?!

I'm hoping that the news reaches every corner of the battlefield like Todoroki vs Dabi, so that we can get Deku's reaction to it.

He has been heavily involved in this arc, so I want to see his reaction when this news reaches him.

Plus, Deku and Ochako have a lot of parallels in this arc. Just one more wouldn't hurt.

About Ochako's Zero Gravity:

I really loved the implications of this panel here.

Toga says that, even Ochako's Quirk is releasing slowly (hinting at more ZG potential), because she won't let anyone fall/drop. It's a great reference to what Ochako said in ch 289.

Plus, it was also referenced in ch 393 when Toga remembers their last encounter. Ochako said that ZG is not a power meant for hurting people.

It implies that quirks depend on how a person is using it. Toga used ZG to kill people and Ochako could have done the same.

But Ochako used ZG to save people and the only person hurt in the end was Ochako herself.

With one touch Ochako makes everything weightless...and Ochako wanted to touch the sorrow deep inside of Toga...so that she could make all of that sadness go away.

She literally made the entire situation weightless.

I really loved how it's not stated, but her quirk and the meaning behind it can be felt from the chapters itself.

Plus, I also loved the callbacks that ch 342 is getting. Ochako told Deku that he frets over small / unnecessary stuff but Ochako is the same.

Seriously, Ochako gets less focus compared to characters like Endeavour, Hawks, Deku etc but I love how everything she has done in the past 100 chapters or so is getting a good callback.

Especially chapter 289, 324, 342 and even their first battle in ch 39.

This battle felt like a culmination of everything from their arcs coming together.
