Intro:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aizawa is explaining that the class will go on a field trip around Japan to express gratitude to the people who support hero activities.
EDIT: In the meantime I saw someone already made translations / posted all of this. Here is their post with translations (can't reblog it, as I think I'm blocked by them). I'll leave my post up anyway because of the higher quality pictures and because I worked hard on it.
Day 1:

SUGARY SWEET — GOJO SATORU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: gojo satoru x gn! reader content: pining, confessions, mentions of eating notes: highly unedited, this has been in my drafts for ages so
Tumblr media
you really couldn’t understand why gojo was staring at you (well, is it staring when he wears his blindfold?), slack-jawed and obviously scandalized. “what?” you ask him. “all i said was that i never really had sweets growing up.”
it’s true; you grew up in one of the lesser clans, one that bowed to the whims of the great zen’in, kamo, and — of course — gojo clans. your parents had been pretty strict about what you did, including what you ate, with your mother always going on and on about how the artificial sugars were unhealthy and would rot your teeth so most of your desserts consisted of fruits in season. you didn’t really mind, but gojo’s making you think that you’re mildly insane for that. 
“so you’ve never tried raindrop cake?”
“no.”
“taiyaki?”
“no.”
gojo pauses and takes a deep breath. “what about mochi?”
“nope,” you say with a shrug. “i’ve already told you, gojo, i wasn’t allowed to eat sweets. my mother always said it would have messed with my cursed technique or something like that.”
gojo frowns. “well, that’s just bullshit. clear your schedule, we’ve got a field trip!”
you reply, “we have classes to teach.”
in an instant, gojo whips out his phone and taps out a message with lightning-fast fingers. when he ceremoniously thumbs at the screen one last time, he flips his phone around to show you a text blast he sent to all your students. 
YOUR FAVORITE SENSEI [8:23 AM]: classes canceled today! don’t do anything i wouldn’t do!
you give him an unimpressed look and say, “yaga’s never going to let that fly.”
gojo leans closer with a conspiratorial smirk. at this distance, you can smell the mint gum he had been chewing earlier on his breath. he lifts his blindfold off with one finger, showcasing those bright blue eyes and says, “who said anything about telling him?” gojo grins when you feel your cheeks start to heat and continues, “change into something cute and meet me at the front gates!” 
with a pat on the head, he turned on his heel and went whistling out of the school building. you obey gojo’s instructions, changing out of your sorcerer’s uniform and into something more casual. gojo’s already at the gates when you arrive, leaning against the structure. he swapped his blindfold for his signature black sunglasses, the frames sliding down the bridge of his nose as he looks you up and down. 
you feel suddenly self-conscious as you surreptitiously glance down at your clothes. “something wrong with my outfit?”
he shakes his head. “no, no. i just don’t think i’ve ever seen you out of your uniform.”
“ah.”
he straightens up and bows in a grand gesture. “onwards to the city!”
you walk past him and towards the train station that would take you to tokyo’s metro area. as you trudge ahead, you completely miss the redness to gojo’s ears and the extra bounce in his step. 
you buy your tickets at the station and when you board, gojo sits across from you, long legs bumping into yours as he stretches. you swat them away and ask, “couldn’t you have just teleported us to tokyo? why’re we on the train?”
gojo replies, “what’s the fun in that? it’s the journey, not the destination. besides, train travel’s romantic, don’t you think?” he looks over his frames at you and you try to calm your quickening heart.
the train pulls into tokyo metro station and gojo practically drags you out, weaving through the tourists and tired salarymen (“hey,” he says, pointing at one that looks particularly fed up, “doesn’t that guy look like nanamin?”) until you reach a storefront that’s a pale, bubblegum pink. the chalkboard outside has a cutely drawn manga cat girl and boasts “japan’s best treats!” in bubble letters. 
gojo throws the door open and stands in front of the hostess. you definitely don’t miss the way her eyes light up, practically vibrating with excitement as she eyes him unabashedly. something sour courses through your body as she chirps, “haven’t seen you here in a while, sir.”
you make a face. sir? gojo offers her a charming smile, tilting his head and letting his sunglasses slip down his nose again. “i’ve been busy,” he says, throwing an arm around your shoulder. she startles a little when her eyes land on you, like it’s the first time she’s realizing there’s another person here. 
her smile tightens when gojo asks, “would you mind finding us a table?”
you can feel the animosity radiating off of her as she gives a much less cheery, “sure. right this way,” and brings you two to a table at the wide window that looks out onto the cherry-blossom lined streets. she practically slams your menu down while passing gojo one politely, bowing woodenly and scurrying back to the hostess podium. 
gojo doesn’t even bother looking at the menus when the waiter comes over to the table. before he can even say anything, gojo declares, “we’ll take one of everything, please!”
you gawk at him. there had to be at least twenty items… there’s no way— “coming right up!” chimes the waiter as he goes off to place your orders before you could stop him. 
“why would you do that?” 
gojo answers, “we have to make up for years of a sugarless childhood!”
“but this is twenty-seven—”
“just trust me on this, okay?”
“fine.”
the desserts all come out together — plates and plates of pastel-colored sweets and clear jellies injected with vibrant colors — and you’re a little embarrassed as the rest of the establishment watches your waiter pull over another table to fit everything. 
gojo claps his hands together, grinning like a kid in the candy story (technically, he is). “which one do you want to try first?”
your eyes take in all the items and you want to be excited to try them, but it just looks like a pastel color wheel threw up on your frilly tablecloth. instead, you tell gojo, “you choose. you know better than me.”
stroking his chin thoughtfully, gojo points at a pink mochi shaped like a cat. “these are limited-edition! try these!”
you gingerly pinch the little rice cake between your fingertips, examining it from paw to whisker before you (savagely) bite off half the cat-mochi’s face. the taste of strawberries bursts across your tongue and spreads through your mouth, paired with the undeniable sweetness of way too much sugar. 
you can’t stop the pleased hum that leaves your lips and you pointedly ignore gojo’s proud simper as you chomp away at the second half of the cat. he practically pushes a raindrop cake at you next, a refreshing coolness from the cloyingly sweet mochi and the following bitterness of the melting matcha ice cream. 
you don’t know how much time has passed until you and gojo have eaten through the twenty-something sweet treats he ordered. (it’s twenty-nine, but who’s counting). you feel like your teeth might just fall off from the sheer amount of sucrose you consumed — maybe your mother hadn’t simply been trying to scare you off when she mentioned your teeth rotting from sugar… 
still, you as you two make your way back to the train station, you concede: “okay, i’ll admit the sweets were pretty good, but i think my mouth needs a month to recover.”
you mentally applaud gojo’s restraint in not making a ‘that’s what she said’ joke, a habit he passed to yuuji recently that you’ve made a mental note to break. instead, he replies, “guess you’ll have to start that recovery a little later because…” gojo pauses for dramatic effect before he reaches behind him and produces a small white cake box wrapped in blue string. “i’ve still got one more thing for you to try!”
“gojo, i think we tried all their cakes there.”
“no, no, no! this one’s special! open it!” he shoves it into your chest. 
cautiously, you let the strings fall away and you crack the lid open to see a neatly frosted blue cake with white lettering that asks: “go on a date with me please?” and beside it is a chibi-headed version of gojo, rendered in blue frosting, with a pleading look on its face. 
you glance up at him from the cake in suspicion. “are you joking?”
he raises an eyebrow. “no. these are my feelings. i really mean it. i want to take you out on a date.”
you blink at him and then the cake and back at him and the train in pulling into the station. you both wordlessly step on and it’s a surprisingly silent ride back, boring without gojo’s constant commentary about the going-ons around him. you don’t particularly mind the quiet, save for the whooshing of the train, as you mull over gojo’s proposal.
it’s… flattering. really, really flattering.
you bite back a smile, still staring down at the cake box. 
it’s only when you return to the schoolgrounds that you say, “i’d love to go on a date with you, gojo.”
he snorts, “it took you that long to consider?”
“on second thought…”
“no, wait! there are no take-backs!”

U.A. High School Field Trip Around Japan: Day 1 Translations
To celebrate My Hero Academia reaching one hundred million copies worldwide, Shonen Jump is releasing special illustrations in the newspapers of Japan's 47 prefectures, calling it "U.A. High School Field Trip Around Japan." It's being rolled out daily across one-week.
The schedule is:
April 4th, Day 1: Hokkaidō & Tōhōku regions
April 5th, Day 2: Kantō region
April 6th, Day 3: Chūbu region
April 7th, Day 4: Kansai region
April 8th, Day 5: Chūgoku & Shikoku regions
April 9th, Day 6: Kyūshū & Okinawa regions
April 10th, Day 7: Nationwide release
You can see the illustrations on their website here, where they are released digitally the day after their newspaper release, so Day 1 and Day 2 are available right now.
The illustrations depict charming scenes between Class 1-A about something related to each prefecture's culture or history, so I thought it would be really fun to translate them and share a little bit about Japan.
Here we go!
Note: As I mentioned, the illustrations are available on the official site, but they are all rather small, which makes them hard to read, so in this post I have included photographs from fans which I used for my translations. Every photo was available publicly on twitter and I have credited the posters, but please be respectful and don't draw undue attention to these fans. If anyone contacts me wishing for their photo to be removed, I will do so.
Hokkaidō Region
Hokkaidō
Tumblr media
Photo credit: twitter user URix0307
Iida: "Heroes! Be ambitious!!' Aizawa: "I'm leaving you behind."
Iida is standing in front of the statue of William S. Clark at Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, a scenic spot in Sapporo. Clark worked with the Japanese government to found Sapporo Agricultural College (now Hokkaidō University) in 1876; he is a very famous figure in the history of the region. The statue is inscribed with a quote attributed to him as he left Japan: "Boys, be ambitious!"
Tōhōku Region
Aomori
Tumblr media

Dark Shadow: "Fumikage!! I GOT ONE!!" Tokoyami: "The allure of forbidden fruit which tastes so sweet..." Dark Shadow: "One simply cannot resist!" Asui: "Tokoyami-chan sure likes apples, huh?"
Agriculture is huge in Aomori, and specifically they are famous for their apples, contributing about 60% of Japan's entire apple production. Raw apples, jams, juices, desserts, etc., they are everywhere in Aomori, and fyi, they are all absolutely delicious. The sweetest, richest, freshest apples I've ever had in my life were the ones I had here! Dark Shadow is right, one simply cannot resist!!!
Iwate
Tumblr media

Todoroki: "I can have as many bowls as I want, right?" Endeavor: "SHOUTOOOOO!!!" Kouda: "Todoroki-kun!! Your dad said he wants to eat with you, too!!" Todoroki: "Check, please."
Todoroki is eating wanko soba, a specialty from Iwate where it's basically an all-you-can-eat. The soba is served in many small bowls, and you slurp them up and immediately get served more. The verb he uses, ikeru, is one people also use for "holding your liquor well," which I personally found hilarious. "Oh yeah, I can hold my noodles."
Miyagi
Tumblr media
Photo credit: twitter user Abino_Haru_Maki
Ashido: "Teacher, what's wrong? You keep lollygagging about!" Aizawa: "Kittykittykitty..." Shouji: "Anybody suspicious around? Nothing has come up in my search for enemies." Iida: "We're leaving you behind, teacher."
Miyagi is famous for being home to Tashirojima, the so-called "Cat Island" where cats outnumber people. Iida gets revenge!!
Akita
Tumblr media
Photo credit: twitter user kado0730
Hagakure: "Namahage faces are so scary!!" Kaminari: "Looks just like Bakugou, don't it." Bakugou: "THERE'S NO RESEMBLANCE AT ALL, I'LL SEND YOU FLYING!!" Sero: "He's a rotten kid who looks just like a Namahage!"
Namahage are frightening folkloric figures from Akita's New Year's festival. Men wear big demon masks and straw coats and wield a (fake) weapon; they march through the streets or knock on doors to scold misbehaving children, asking if there are any "warui ko," (naughty/rotten/bad kids), which is what Sero calls Bakugou.
Yamagata
Tumblr media
Photo credit: twitter user ha_n_a_0
Yaoyorozu: "Oh, tranquility! Penetrating the very rock, a cicada’s voice." Kaminari: "Jirou! How about you put your earphones on that rock?" Jirou: "Are you stupid?"
Yaoyorozu is reciting a famous poem by Basho Matsuo written when he visited the Buddhist temple, Risshaku-ji (also called Yamadera, meaning "mountain temple"). This translation is by Helen Craig McCullough. Risshaku-ji, a National Historic site, is home to a number of beautiful buildings and statues built into the mountainside; temple history claims a lineage back to the 9th century. The trail up to the temple consists of 1,015 steps; I visited in winter, which made it quite the precarious climb!
Fukushima
Tumblr media
Photo credit: twitter user kingyo0927
Kirishima: "This right here is what I should be aiming for!!" Aoyama: "A fateful encounter~!" Bakugou: "When I said 'just being able to keep standing through anything makes you crazy strong,' this ain't what I meant!!"
Kirishima is looking at rows of okiagari koboshi, which are traditional papier-mâché dolls popular in Fukushima's western Aizu region. They are weighted so that no matter what you do to them, they pop right back up to standing!
That's all for Day 1! I'm still translating Day 2 and collecting Day 3's as they roll in, so please look forward to those. :D

CLASS 3-A Headcanons
Because this group has given me a lot of brainworms. I might add a list of other class and group dynamics.
General Headcanons:
Izumi takes pride in being the oldest and most responsible out of the 3-A trio.
He is literally one day older than Kaoru but he will shove it in his face and act as the greater superiority (and then Kaoru would flick him in the nose)
Chiaki is actually the oldest but Izumi dismisses this with, "You act like a 5-year so it isn't valid."
Eichi and Keito keep blackmail folders on each other "for funsies" [Madara overhears this and casually says that he keeps blackmail folders on everyone "for funsies!!"
Shu and Izumi talk about fashion with each other and both think the other one is the only one decent enough to get it.
Kaoru likes complimenting Mademoiselle's outfits and Shu sometimes takes them into consideration when designing new ones.
Chiaki holds very obnoxious over-the-top gift giving celebrations, so much so that everyone now participates in gift exchanges on Valentines, birthdays and Christmas.
Eichi loves spontaneously holding MANDATORY class field trips.
Shu obviously does not like involving himself with his classmates but still calls them "decent" (minus a certain someone) and ends up just sitting there observing them and making comments.
Madara loves to greet Eichi by wrapping his arm around Eichi's shoulders, just so he can put Eichi in a headlock. Keito is there to make sure it doesn't last more than 3 seconds.
Eichi loves to involve himself with the 3-A trio because he finds them amusing. He also lacks social skills and yearns for the buddy-buddy relationship they have.
Chiaki wanted to make Mademoiselle a hero outfit but got swiftly rejected.
Kaoru, on occasion, likes taking everyone (minus the idols outside of Japan), on food tours.
They frequent each other's lives but don't really admit that to each other.
Madara acts as an older brother figure to Chiaki and oftend leads Chiaki into more stupidity.
Izumi and Keito have similar taste in glasses.
Chiaki drags Keito frame shopping and Izumi tags along to make sure Chiaki doesn't choose something hideous. Him and Keito then engage in the world's longest convo about stylised lens frames while Chiaki gets bored and tries on all the frames from the kids section because they are colourful. Eichi wanted to go because he wanted to try out frames but Keito refused, saying Eichi didn't need them and Eichi complained about it for days.
! era:
Keito has his desk stocked with a complete first-aid kit, tissues, oscillator, etc. in case Eichi needs it.
On the rare case that Madara and Eichi are in class, they are seen tossing notes to each other with smiles. However, when one hits Keito in the head and he opens it, it's marked with death threats and passive aggressive insults.
They had a contest to see who looked best in Keito's glasses while he was asleep at his desk. Izumi won.
Eichi asked Izumi to paint his nails once for fun, but now nail painting sessions happen every two weeks for everyone
Kaoru first did it as a joke but now he kinda likes looking at his nails and gets upset if anyone ruins it. He's the first in line before Izumi even gets set up. Chiaki loves getting his nails painted but can never keep the paint on. He's always biting his nails, chipping them off by falling somewhere, or just being plain stupid with them. Izumi frets over this and complains as he does a touchup every morning. Keito only did it because Eichi wouldn't stop bothering him about having matching nails! Shu does not particpate. Lest it ruins his image. However, he does comment on other people's choice of design as he sits next to him. Madara complains about not being there enough to get his nails done but then he tries to steal the nail polish when he is there and tries to paint everyone's nails with the most atrocious colour schemes known to man.
Eichi likes playing with Chiaki's action figures (because he has the mentality of a child and likes playing with them) He moves them around while Chiaki gives him telenovela speeches on the significance of each one.
Kaoru likes jokingly telling Eichi to buy the class things as random as keychain sets to food. Eichi takes it literally and buys it all.
Everytime Madara comes back from overseas, he buy the most obnoxious tourist items and clutters the classroom with it as "gifts".
They all collectively play a game of "How High Can We Raise Hasumi's Blood Pressure!!"
Kaoru started it because he always loves teasing people and Keito's a simple target. Chiaki just accidentally joins in while Izumi inadvertently adds fuel to the fire. Madara loves being annoying so what else does he need? When Keito looks to Eichi to see if he joins in, Eichi just silently grabs the oscillator and measures his pulse and announces the rate like a game show host and Keito's pulse skyrockets.
Madara once visited Eichi in the hospital- though not directly. He scaled the hospital walls and slammed a cardboard sign saying "THE END IS COMING." before noisily breaking through the window.
Chiaki once found one of Shu's fashion designs on the floor and thought it was a colouring page. Shu chewed him out when he returned it, but later the outfit was made in those exact colours.
Eichi gets tired of sitting next to Keito all the time so he purposefully sits the farthest away from him and near other people. Chiaki is the only airheaded to not notice the death glares from Keito and Kaoru faintly fears for his life.
!! era:
Eichi made a group chat for the class because he wanted something else to entertain him in the hospital while he was stuck there.
It's still active and Eichi forced Shu to join when he got a phone and will not let him leave. The 3-A trio and Eichi talk the most in it and Keito engages to scold them every few messages. Madara pops in at the randomest moments to start chaos and Shu mostly leaves them on read (he does read every message...) and comments once in a blue moon.
Kaoru usually starts convo in the groupchat in his downtime, when he's in his apartment, and he usually sends random tidbits about his day.
Eichi usually responds first because the notification on his phone distracts him from work he doesn't want to do at the moment.
Chiaki and Izumi then follow and a general conversation sparks up.
Shu eventually responds asking why the chat is still alive and Keito comes into lecture them about staying up during the night and says that he will come into Eichi's office and make him do the work. Eichi stops typing but keeps the phone on, reading the messages.
Madara pops in and revives the chat again, leading Eichi to pick the phone back up, Shu to fully respond in disdain, and everyone to keep themselves up the whole night. Keito doesn't reprimand anyone anymore, just sighs as he makes Eichi do the paperwork the next morning.
Izumi was too far away to paint their nails as often but he usually got on calls to help them do it themselves.
Kaoru is the only one that is competent enough to do it so he gets assigned to paint Eichi and Chiaki's nails before Izumi gets so horrified at their work that he takes the next jet from Italy. Keito is again forced to join and Izumi touches them as much as he can when he comes to Japan.
Shu has made them outfits before, in a frustration that they didn't seem to be the type to sell to a client. He claims that they're still perfect, as nothing made by him isn't so he gives them out when he next arrives in Japan.
He gives Kaoru an outfit first and Kaoru wears it when he goes out to fancy places and says that he likes feeling flashy. He keeps it tucked it safely away specifically for that purpose.
Keito refuses it but ultimately leaves it in the box, in his hands. He doesn't plan on using it, but during formal events, he has pulled it out.
Madara is the first to wear it, followed by Chiaki and those two wore it everywhere they went before Shu yelled at them for being wreckless with precious fabric. They stop wearing it for a while but use it frequently and Shu stops complaining because he vaguely feel a sense of pride in it being that beloved.
Eichi did not get an outfit. Instead, Shu had handed him a small box where he pulled out a handkerchief and told him it was to "wipe the constant drivel that comes out of your mouth". Eichi keeps it and uses it frequently actually.
They still play "How High Can we Raise Hasumi's Blood Pressure!!"
Chiaki bought an action figure for Eichi because he felt that the character's role fit Eichi. Eichi couldn't remember the character's backstory for the life of him, but he keeps it on his desk and likes playing with it during paperwork.
Izumi carried a travel tote bag on him occasionally and off of it dangles Madara's tourist keychains, Eichi's random trinkets Kaoru made him buy the class, and his own matching keychain set with Kaoru and Chiaki.
At first, Shu took as many trips to Japan as possible because he wanted to annoy Eichi by biting into his expenses. Eichi only responded with a "What? You want to see me that badly-?"
Eichi and Madara always end up starting chaos in the groupchat by exclaiming everyone's secrets in the public chatroom.
Eichi doesn't do it out of maliciousness. A little birdie just told him about something that happened and he wants to know more. Madara knows what he's doing and loudly proclaims it in all caps like "LORD ALMIGHTY!!! PERSON A AND PERSON B WERE MAKING OUT IN THE STORAGE CLOSET!!!"
Mostly though. In my head, these guys interact a lot even after they graduate and they give me brainrot agh. I love these clowns so much.

Ryoutei High-The diaboys at school (s + m + t) hcs
Tumblr media
Hi Love,
Sorry, this has taken so long, I'm really trying to put this together for you. I'm really glad you asked this because I've been wanting to talk about their school life for so long. Really hope you like it though. :)
-Liannelara

Prompt
Requests are open
Rules
Warning: Some spoilers
*certain words have been censored for Tumblr guidelines.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
General hcs (before we begin)
📚Okay, so it’s an academy and a night school, so just keep that in mind.
📚The name of the academy is called Ryoutei High School Academy
📚The town's name (not 100% sure) is Kaminashi.
📚High school in Japan is only three years.
📚School times are: 8:00pm/20:00 - 2:00am/2:00. Lunchtime is 12:00 am/24:00 (canon in a drama cd of theirs)
📚Like most schools, class is about 6-7hrs.
📚The school allows students of all grades to participate in things together.
📚It is a school with lower attendance than a regular school seeing it's an academy.
📚They have school festivals/field trips
📚Everyone who attends is from a rich family (I assume).
📚And you know everyone wears a uniform, but I do picture everyone does alter it to their style. We will get into that later tho.
📚The main school colors are Red, White, and black. Sometimes there are embellishments of gold tho. (not confirmed it just looks this way.)
📚I picture they have a basketball team and cheerleading team.
📚I know they have a music room, and I picture there to be a gym where gymnastics is practiced. 
📚I also see that ballet, art, and singing classes are offered.
📚The school has a lot of school festivals and assemblies for all grades.
📚They have school dances and parades too.
📚I could see that some students play baton when they have parades and stuff like that.
📚The school has two stories and a rooftop.
📚Apart from having a cooking class, they also have a library and a music room.
📚Oh, their dad is actually the nurse at the school. (canon)
📚There are clubs and everyone is in their own clique (well most are). But tbh most dl characters are not to keen on cliques.
📚I will say that school in the demon world is completely different tho. (let me know if you want a post about it, it sounds cool!)
Sakamaki
Shu:
📚Third-year, but he is repeating the year as we know.
📚Technically, he would be in college/uni.
📚According to the manga and what I’ve heard people have called him the music-king.
📚I get the vibe that people think he’s like some legend or something.
📚So he gives off the vibe as a cool closed-off rich boy who listens to music.
📚And a lot of girls like him—like, every b!tch has got a crush on this guy or did at one point.
📚I can’t even begin to say how many love letters he must get--and how many women throw themselves at him.
📚He is very popular.
📚Has no rivals but guys want to be better than him.
📚He doesn’t really alter his uniform just has a few buttons undone.
📚He always has his earbuds in and sleeps anywhere. 
📚Teachers get mad at him for sleeping in the halls and in classes when he decides to go.
📚He only shows up to music class routinely since it’s the only period he deems interesting.
📚He doesn’t pay attention to anyone though like in class he never utters a word and when he does it’s only because someone is asking him something or if the teacher wants a response.
📚And even then it's not much its usually just three words.
📚Girls gush whenever they get the chance to talk to him.
📚Sometimes he has talked to girls, if they are his partner or if they flaunt their skirt and depending on how short or tight it is around the h!p area he judges their undergarments and makes them feel shameful. But that’s about it.
📚He does the bare minimum to pass so he won’t go to the north pole again. 
📚Goes to the school ballet recitals to see the girls dance.
📚Rejects every chick who asks him out—and he has no shame in telling them he’s not interested.
📚Although he might bang one chick for a fling if he feels like it.
📚Gets a bunch of chocolate and love letters during valentines day/white day.
📚He lays down anywhere and likes to get a view up girls’ skirts.
📚He swears girls don't wear shorts under their skirts because they're trying to amuse/sed*ce him.
📚Sleeps in detention, but most of the time he doesn’t show up.
📚Speaking of sleeping, you can find him on benches, on the field, rooftop, in a vacant room, anywhere, even in the janitor’s closet.
📚He isn’t in any groups, labels, or afterschool activities. 
📚Since electives/clubs are required, he chooses music-related ones. 
📚I know his grades are relatively low but if he tried he’d have better grades than Reiji.
📚Sorry Rei.
📚His desk has collected dust due to never attending.
📚He once had a locker but bc he never attends school they thought it belonged to no one and when the janitor opened it up to clean after the school year was over, it flooded the room with love letters and expired valentines day candies/chocolates. 
📚It was a disaster and took hours to clean up.
📚The triplets were so jealous he got so much in one year.
📚Reiji was so mad because he had to write a check to pay off for the damages it caused for the school.
📚It damaged the property with the locker being busted and sticky because of the melted candy. And because of the avalanche of unrequited love letters (over 3000 love letters) and all the candies--it all collapsed on the poor janitor. Costing them even more money to pay off for the guy’s health insurance.
📚 Their father wasn’t pleased at all.
Reiji:
📚A third-year as we know.
📚Seems like a teacher's pet, all the teachers praise him tbh.
📚In class he’s usually quiet unless he notices that the teacher messed up or if he’s giving an answer.
📚He doesn’t show off his intelligence too much tho because it's a poor action for someone with manners.
📚Although he will demonstrate if given the opportunity.
📚His favorite subject is science, more specifically chemistry and he usually likes to do his experiments alone but will work with groups or a partner if he must.
📚He keeps a model image for his family tho because he doesn’t want anyone to catch on to anything.
📚Plus he’s a model student, but he is like annoyed by practically everyone.
📚He has probably been a TA for some classes and he gets to help out his younger brothers.
📚someone please ask about TA Rei hcs. Plz!!!  @mikalara-dracula we should make them!
📚Sits in the middle row, probably near the end of a row.
📚Has good grades pretty much everywhere except P.E.. He sucks.
📚If someone is better than him like Ruki, he feels automatically challenged.
📚His rival is Ruki in fact.
📚And so I could see that his locker is like on the opposite side of his so Reiji usually gives him bad looks and vice versa lol.
📚Oh Ruki even shows off the girl he has to Reiji just to annoy him. Like right where the lockers are he’s like making out with her and Rei is annoyed af.
📚His locker is very neat too, it smells like tea.
📚Has a lot of science books in there and possibly an extra pair of gloves, and a handkerchief.
📚Probably has all the shelves and everything all organized.
📚His desk would be just as neat.
📚He has received some love letters and he just finds it amusing.
📚Tries to find out if Ruki receives more love letters than him xDD.
📚Reiji takes them home and reads them and ended up grading them.
📚He keeps them in a box to keep a record and see if the letters he will receive again are from the same people or not.
📚He once got two letters that he graded as an A-minus so he wondered if it was from the same person. 
📚He plays detective during this time and once he figures it out he just keeps it to himself.
📚But will tea$e the girl indirectly whenever he is alone with her.
📚One time he got a diss letter but it was written by the triplets but they posed it as a girl writing the letter. 
📚He was so confused by it, especially by the slang in it. He thought it was Ruki, but deep down he knew he wasn’t the type to do that.
📚Since electives are required he is probably in cooking class seeing he can put his skills to work. But he feels challenged because Ruki’s in there.
📚They probably debated once about who made a better carbonara dish and the bickering never ended between them.
📚He doesn’t have any cliques he’d been in but he might befriend some nerds and I’m talkin’ hardcore nerds at school to keep an image.
📚Usually he stays after school and a bunch of girls ask for his help and they try to fl!rt with him. (It was mentioned somewhere in the game.)
📚I picture that a lot of girls like him too because he’s smart and he acts polite to them as well.
📚Reiji does date (there’s been implied evidence in the game translations that he has in the past) and when he does it's really to benefit him and his family image.
📚 It’s all fun and games nothing serious. After all, this boi knows that his dad has someone picked out for him already.
📚If he’s in a club, it would be a chess club, as one would assume. The nerdiness gets real in there.
📚 Or possibly a debating club. Or better yet, a nerd-debating club! And as a plus, Ruki’s in there. AND—they’re on opposite debating sides!!!
📚If the school has a student council he’d be a part of it for sure.
📚Usually you will find Reiji in class or if he’s not, he is usually in the laboratory or the library reading a book.
📚If his brothers get in fights he tries to pretend he doesn’t know them.
📚One time his brothers got him in detention and when Ruki found out about Reiji being in detention, he never let him live it down. He tea$es him about it until this day and will randomly bring that subject up if Reiji's trying to impress a girl xDD.
Laito:
📚Second-year
📚Has been expelled/suspended (this actually happened according to a drama cd I just can’t remember)
📚Fl!rt and total playboy.
📚Very popular with the ladies and competes with Ayato.
📚His grades are pretty decent (according to drama cds)
📚He doesn’t study that much tho. Like, he’s just that guy that doesn’t study and f*ckin’ passes.
📚In class he doesn’t talk too much but he is usually sitting in the back or near the back with a bunch of chicks.
📚Fl!rts with the teachers from time to time.
📚Fl!rts in class and if there is a new girl he plans to get to her first before anyone else. It’s a game tbh.
📚The teachers are slightly annoyed by him and disappointed.
📚As an elective class he’d either take French to fl!rt/sweet talk the girls, cooking class, or something like dance so he can brush up on the girls.
📚He also wouldn’t really be in a clique but he’d be around all the girls at school.
📚His rival is really Kou and so there is real competition.
📚Is always banging some chick like no questions asked whether it be in the locker room, classroom, bathroom, or some other vacant room.
📚He usually wears his fedora to school and only takes it off if the teachers demand him, but since it’s in Japan I’m not sure if wearing a hat in class is against the rules.
📚His locker is close to Ayato’s and he honestly hasn’t customized it too much.
📚But inside I wouldn’t be surprised if he has s*x toys and a bunch of condoms in there. 
📚His locker probably has some French cologne (Chanel #5), a few books, and some love letters.
📚His desk is clean but not too clean.
📚In the cafeteria he usually is with a chick or with his bro and they’re scheming something together against Reiji or to get a chick.
📚If he brings macarons with him, he likes to share them with the girls he hangs out with. Might even share it mouth-to-mouth with them.
📚P.E. is one of his favorite classes because he gets to see the girls in their short shorts.
📚He has banged every cheerleader at his school.
📚Wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to sleep with of the teachers/subs/staff members.
📚You can find him checking out women and usually in more secluded areas where he can be alone with one chick because he likes getting caught.
📚On days when he wants to be alone he will spend time figuring out crossword puzzles at an empty table.
📚He likes hanging out on rooftops too when he wants to be alone and think.
📚Laito also spends his time there if he is upset.
📚One time a girl confessed to him on the rooftop and he made all her dreams come true.
📚He never rejects the girls tbh and finds it a turn-on if they ask him out, unless they remind him of his mother and even then he just plays d!rty.
📚Oh, he also likes the rooftop because he can drink from someone without anyone knowing.
📚 Will get pissed off tho if someone interrupts him and he’s really down that day.
Kanato:
📚Second-year
📚Preppy
📚He takes teddy to school so he fought for him to have a student ID, and yes he made it possible.
📚I know most of the S brothers are popular at the school but I feel like Kanato and Subaru are the least thought of because they are different.
📚In Kanato’s case it is mostly because of his psychot!c tendencies that people do not interact with him. Although tbh at school it is a rumor.
📚Only some people know that he is crazy, cause if it was really evident, I don’t think he’d be allowed to go to school.
📚Plus the family image is important so he tries his best to like not freak out.
📚A lot of girls also like him bc he is sweet and romantic.
📚Here me out, I know this doesn’t sound like him but remember he has to put on a face and according to the manga if you take out the times where he is not acting up he does tend to be “nice,” and acts “romantically” with Yui. (it’s even in the game translations sometimes.)
📚Plus a lot of people who are psych0 usually have two sides and the side people see more of is usually the one that isn’t really them. It’s typically the one they develop to shield their true emotions. Of course, this varies on the person and the experiences but this is something to keep in mind when getting to know Kanato’s personality. (But again we also can’t apply human psychology to a vampire but sometimes feelings can apply to anything/anyone.)
📚Also, a lot of people who have a split personality may favor one person over the other so let's say there is someone he takes very special interest in and possibly loves, there is a chance that he may appear quite normal around them. If this is the case, I think you are able to see their true side which is where we witness Kanato’s romantic gestures seeing that he likes the girl he is with.
📚Regardless of this he does have a s*x drive and is pretty fl!rty so he can definitely get with the girls at school if he tried. But he doesn’t try because he just doesn’t like any of them—it’s pretty rare if he has a crush on anyone.
📚He loves it when it’s valentines day and girls confess to him. Of course, this doesn’t mean he is going to say yes to them.
📚As it is seen in anime he sits in the back of the class.
📚Doesn’t talk in class and hates it if teachers ask him questions.
📚“Can’t you see I wasn’t participating?!” He’d hiss at the teacher. “Why do you have to ask?!”
📚Sometimes he volunteers or whatever but don’t ever ask him, he has to opt-in.
📚Eats candy in class because his desk has a candy stash.
📚His desk is not that messy tho.
📚He has some books that have collected dust tho bc he never touches them.
📚Favorite class is either music or cooking class.
📚For after-school activities he’d either be in a sewing club or glee club.
📚He is also not in a clique tbh, he’s kinda on his own but a lot of girls like him.
📚It’s rare if he throws a tantrum bc he has to keep an image but sometimes he loses it.
📚Usually you can find Kanato in the cafeteria eating cake or some sweets, on the rooftop singing, on the steps of the stairs or on a bench playing with Teddy.
📚If he has an interest in a girl he will ditch his class most times and wait outside of her class just to talk to her.
📚I also picture that if she has class on the second floor he waits on the steps of the stairs to talk to her.
📚He is also such an attention seeker so when he is around a bunch of girls he will act sweet or even play victim so that they pamper him.
📚The girls literally make him food too.
📚He gets love letters too and he usually writes back, because believe it or not he typically knows who likes him and who doesn’t.
📚The only time he really gets in trouble is when someone takes Teddy away or ruins his cake. Then he lashes out.
📚He does bully some girls tho, especially the one he really likes.
📚Might have some interest in a new girl if she is cute.
📚Even tho a lot of girls like him he doesn’t sleep with all of them or anything like that. He just thinks they have to earn that.
📚Usually he picks a different girl out of the crowd to mess with. So if there was someone he liked it wouldn’t be in the circle he’s usually around.
📚It would be some other girl he finds pretty and his main goal is to k!ss her tbh, and I see that with one girl that he liked he got to do this. The girls are jealous but he tells them they have to let it go.
📚Oh yeah and he is a fl!rt if you haven’t noticed, he usually manipulates the girl if he wants a k!ss or something.
📚Apart from this he doesn’t have good grades cause he just doesn’t care to do his work.
📚Oh in his locker it’s purple inside and he keeps an extra outfit for Teddy in there, l!pstick from a girl, and something that belongs to his crush.
📚It has a purple lock, and it smells like a candy store. 
Ayato:
📚Second-year
📚A jock and a boi for life.
📚Mr. Popular
📚He’s on his school’s basketball team.
📚His rivals are Shu, Shin, Kino, and Laito (sometimes).
📚But he’s okay with Laito bc he hooks him up with chicks, so it’s pretty fair.
📚P.E. is his favorite class.
📚Cause he gets to see the girls in their sport clothes.
📚However, he does like cooking class because he gets to eat food and begs people and the teacher to make takoyaki.
📚And plus girls make him food.
📚After school he is playing basketball.
📚If he’s not on the basketball court he’s either talking to a girl/cheerleader, getting in trouble or in the cafeteria getting snacks.
📚He fl!rts a lot and is probably hanging with a group of jocks like him.
📚They all keep a record of which girls they screw and whose done the most, all in one book the boys keep among them.
📚He keeps the notebook in his locker and Laito is also a participant.
📚Ayato makes sure he has the highest score and is the “best.”
📚So yes, he fl!rts with girls all the time.
📚Oh and if there is a new girl, he’s going to try and impress her so hard.
📚A lot of girls like him too cause they’re like “he’s so hot!”
📚Has terrible grades like C average but he does have some Ds and Fs.
📚Tries to bribe teachers to have better grades with money or by doing favors for them bc he doesn’t want his dad to get mad about him not passing. He believes he’s gotta hustle because his personal life is more important to him.
📚Never tries tho.
📚But does cheat all the time.
📚Usually Kino gives him the answers but there’s a price to pay. 
📚It could be anything but the biggest thing he ever did in order to pass the benchmark tests, so Kino dared him to go streaking.
📚And as expected Kino made a vine out of it.
📚Is in summer school/remedial classes tho.
📚Is actually pretty stupid and clueless.
📚Has been in detention with his brothers one too many times.
📚Even with Reiji because he got him in trouble once. During that day of detention, Reiji kept advocating that he shouldn't be there and that it was a mistake to punish him.
📚And when Ruki found out about Reiji being in detention, he never let him live it down. He tea$es him about it until this day and will randomly bring that subject up if Reiji's trying to impress a girl xDD.
📚He tries to act like he doesn’t know who Rei is because he is embarrassed by him. And he does this to Subaru especially because he thinks he’s weird.
📚But Subaru will just sock him.
📚He’s also a per.v so he does peak in the girl’s locker room.
📚Has a few ex’s at the school too but they’re just girls he made out with for two hours. Literally.
📚Makes sure he’s always in the yearbook every year. Also tries to be on the front few pages of it and will literally advocate for this.
📚In class he sits in the back and hardly knows what’s going on.
📚Tips his chair all the time and one time it backfired on him.
📚And Kino was laughing his a$$ off.
📚He is extremely annoying and teachers are disappointed in him. And so is Rei.
📚Kinda like a class clown.
📚Passes notes and texts during class, and will make excuses to leave.
📚Will bully the freshmen and girls that he thinks are fun to mess with.
📚Eats candy in class or chips. 
📚He asks stupid questions to derail the class so that the teacher forgets what they were supposed to do in the first place.
📚He gets dress coded but the teachers eventually gave up.
📚He’s gotten citations before too, mostly for just swearing in class.
📚His locker is messy just like his desk, papers and books are everywhere.
📚He gets love letters but wayyyy less than Shu.
📚His lock is red and the combo is the year he was born in. (I picture all the boys have their lock combo set to the year they were born in.)
📚The locker has his basketball, his sports clothes, the notebook we talked about, and even snacks.
📚It smells like sweat tho, and its just a mess. He probably even has cheez wiz or something else that's gross and expired from five years ago. He says it’s still good.
📚In his desk he has gadgets that he uses that will distract everyone in class.
📚One time when he was in Reiji’s SI session for science and he pressed on his remote to have the disco ball come out play music. Something he set up with Kino and Shin after school was over.
📚He’d even take out the screws out of the teacher’s chairs, that way they will just fall when they sit.
📚Most of these pranks are done with his brothers, sometimes Shu joins.
📚He will ask Kino or Shin to help him out if its a really big prank tho.
📚And Reiji just scolds.
📚Sticks gum under the teacher’s desk or under the wheels of the chair.
📚Pulls pranks on the teachers and Reiji gets so mad.
📚Has even messed with the principal's microphone and Reiji really lost it with him.
📚He also messed with the clocks once just to get out early, it went on for a week before the teachers caught on.
📚Egged one of the teacher’s cars and even TPed their house.
📚Makes sure everyone is following him on his social media.
📚His backpack has anything but books, it’s stuffed with papers and tools to jack up the place.
📚He has drama class with Kino and so they made this (watch from 1:25 - 1:54)
📚There was another time when Laito and him were waiting for Rei to SI a class and this is what they were up to. (watch from 8:16 - 8:25)
Subaru:
📚First-year
📚Is actually a loner.
📚But does get in fights especially if there is a guy harassing his crush.
📚Or if someone insults him and tries to pick a fight with him.
📚Doesn’t have the best grades but tries.
📚He’s so emo, so a lot of people don’t talk to him.
📚So he doesn’t have a group or anything like that.
📚He doesn’t have a favorite class unless the girl he likes is in that class.
📚Then he can’t help but blush.
📚Something he might like is art or music tho because it can be calming.
📚For after school activities he might be in something with music or art to take his mind off things.
📚Or maybe wood carving because it takes his mind off things and I could see him being really talented that it impresses people.
📚I could see he knows how to sketch and so he sits on the bench and listens to emo music after school.
📚After school he is usually in study hall trying to fix his grades or he’s (discreetly) following his crush around.
📚He has been in detention with his brothers (except Reiji) and oh god if Laito is there it will end in another fight, and possible suspension.
📚He also probably sits in the back, or at the end of the middle row.
📚Doesn’t talk a lot in class, tries to listen tho.
📚Gets flustered if he’s asked to explain and he doesn’t know what to say because he’s been thinking/staring at his crush.
📚Most times tho he just answers the best he can.
📚Has slept in class before.
📚The teachers worry about him, and he probably likes his music teacher bc she’s nice too him.
📚His locker has scratches and sometimes notes, not very nice ones either. Probably has stickers that are emo phrases plastered on the outside of his locker as well.
📚Has band posters in his locker.
📚It just has books, an extra jacket (probably leather), his headphones, music albums (80s/90s goth era—things like K!SS, Motley Crew, ACDC, Manson, etc.). He has a man's journal with very personal findings too.
📚He writes in it everyday.
📚After school you can usually find him under a tree where he writes in his journal, usually about his thoughts, regrets, what happens, or about his crush. And there’s a lot of crumbled up pages because sometimes, he gets upset, rips them and then regrets he did it and puts them back in.
📚But it’s not cringy, it’s actually sad.
📚He’s quiet poetic actually, and if someone ever got a hold of it I think they’d feel pretty bad when reading his life.
📚Has some photographs in it, probably about the girl he onced like but had to make a decision on letting her go seeing his family would get involved.
📚You can also find him on the rooftop, in detention, study hall, or outside.
📚His desk is a bit of a mess but not too much, he keeps something that belongs to his crush in there too.
Kino:
📚Third-year
📚Doesn’t have a rival, but sometimes Shu gets on his nerves bc chicks loves him for no reason.
📚Has a few small tattoos, but not in areas where teachers can see since there's a rule about students not being allowed to be tatted.
📚Fl!rts with chicks all the time.
📚Makes a competition out of it with Ayato as I’ve said before.
📚Would so smack a random girl's a$$ while walking past her in the halls and then give her a sm!rk and wink in return cuz he's hot like that.
📚Will make out with a random chick in the halls and lives for getting caught by a teacher. He'll just sm!rk and play it off smugly.
📚Has a lot of flings, unlike Ayato who just brags about it but never actually does anything.
📚If he really likes a girl he won't stop bothering her, in fact he’ll go in her class and act like he’s in the right class.
📚Is on his phone 24/7 and the teachers get so mad.
📚Tries to keep his headphones in the entire time he’s in class.
📚He also pretends to be listening to music with his headphones, but realistically, he's just listening in on girls' conversations.
📚Records in class, especially if Ayato’s about to do something stupid.
📚Tries to make vines in class too.
📚Is actually smart but doesn’t try.
📚Tries to be paired up with girls so he can bribe them into doing all the work.
📚Sits with his feet on the desk in the back of the class.
📚Teachers don’t like him.
📚His favorite class is P.E. because he gets to see the girls practice cheer, and see them run on the track.
📚Everyone at school knows him and follows his social media.
📚He’s on the basketball team with Ayato.
📚Gets into detention with him all the time.
📚Gets a lot of love letters.
📚His locker is next to Ayato’s and he probably has the outside customized with band stickers.
📚It has an extra jacket, some random items, definitely another mobile device, rap and punk rock albums.
📚Other game-related objects, and multiple pairs of headphones.
📚Listens to a lot of rap music, and is really into female rappers.
📚And such lyrics give him ideas as to how he wants to eat a girl out.
📚Knows how to rap as well, and on school karaoke nights, he challenges Ayato to a rap battle and he always wins.
📚For after-school activities he is in a band and has an electric guitar. 
📚Orders guava juice at the cafeteria and doesn't give a damn if people think it's weird.
📚You can usually find him in the cafeteria, basketball court, anywhere with Ayato, on his phone, or with a girl in the locker room.
📚Tries to get peaks in the girl's locker room with Ayato.
📚Has snuck alcohol in his thermos. 
📚Condoms in his wallet or back pocket. Because he’ll find the time to bang a chick in between periods.
📚He is a jock so he’ll be around Ayato’s group and the band he’s with.
📚Like Ayato, he pranks teachers and staff as well; and even joins Ayato's antics sometimes and will try to make a vine out of it.
📚Ayato and Kino may start a food fight out of pure boredom in the cafeteria.
Mukami
Ruki:
📚Third-year
📚Is also very popular, more than Rei.
📚The girls think he’s hot.
📚He acts very sweet but he is also cold but the girls live for it.
📚Pro at math and history.
📚He’s been around for a long time so he knows so much history, a good amount he witnessed it too.
📚His favorite classes are math, history, and cooking class.
📚Is probably a T.A. and S.I. for math.
📚His rival is Rei.
📚So as you can imagine cooking class is just food wars/hell’s kitchen. It getz real.
📚Ruki likes to compete against Reiji all the time, he finds it fun.
📚Mostly cause he knows he’s better but will be worried if something seems a bit off and Reiji is scoring some points.
📚He will impress all the girls that spend time with Reiji just to make him mad.
📚Since he’s smoother with the ladies he rubs it in Reiji’s face that he can get any girl he wants.
📚As I said in Reiji’s part their lockers are across from each other on opposite sides so he will k!ss/make out with a girl against the lockers in front of Reiji.
📚You can find Ruki in the library most time but when he isn’t there you can find him reading outside, in the study hall helping others, solving a puzzle, being nice to girl, or making out with a girl in the library. 
📚I see that the school may have given him a job to help out the librarian and so a lot of girls come to ask him for help.
📚For like no reason even, they ask where a book is or like they don’t need anything they just want to talk to him.
📚He thinks it’s amusing but kind of annoying.
📚Would be so attracted to a girl if she wasn’t interested in talking to him and came to the library often but never asked for help.
📚He like wants to know that girl.
📚Enjoys the job bc it's quiet and he gets to sort books there, plus it makes Reiji feel challenged because teachers like him and he’s helping the school.
📚Ruki would also be part of the student council if the academy offered it.
📚He isn’t bad at P.E. he’s just not big on it.
📚For after-school activities he would either be in nerd debate club, chess club, or better yet, a book club.
📚And you can only imagine how many girls tried to enter these clubs.
📚In class Ruki sits in the middle of the middle rows. 
📚He is relatively quiet but will stare at a girl (in a hot way) and get her to look back which makes the teachers annoyed if they notice.
📚Knows the answer to like everything so the teachers hardly call on him but he will correct the teachers, especially with the history dates.
📚And if Rei answers a history question with the wrong date, Ruki’s all for it on correcting him- but this rarely happens.
📚Keeps a low profile but a lot of teachers like him seeing that he turns in the work and is a model student.
📚He’s always been asked to help out since he acts nice, which he isn’t mean but he can be cold.
📚This is the reason why some people feel intimidated to approach him.
📚His locker is average but neat.
📚He keeps a lot of books in there and he also keeps a diary, he has a few, I see it. But they are under a lock and everything.
📚This way, Kou never reaches them.
📚His locker has a musk scent like his cologne.
📚It is clean and keeps spare stationery items, a locket which might mean something to him, and the undergarments of the girl he’s currently seeing.
📚Gets a lot of f*cking love letters, more than Kou.
📚But if anything they are not love letters, they just thirst letters. lol
📚The school has dances and he participates only when he has a gf bc she wants to go and he’s actually pretty good.
📚He does rehearse with his date and bc he’s a vampire he’s been around for a while so he knows a lot of different dances.
📚So be prepared for surprises; although I will say he doesn’t like to show his moves, he’d have to really like the girl to do that.
📚He’s also incredibly sweet if he cares about someone so if he cares about a girl she is lucky.
📚The girls at school love this side of him and gush about it.
📚Personally, I don’t think Ruki has a group he hangs out with at school. 
📚Ruki is probably with Yuma and Azusa but usually he’s by himself in the library. Kou is busy with his fangirls.
📚Tho he does act respectfully when around others so people like him and sometimes talk to him.
📚Yuma and Kou usually cause problems and so he apologizes for them.
📚Oh although Ruki isn’t rivals with Ayato (I know they say he is but i don’t see it, i mean ya’ll what even is Ayato compared to dis man?!) I do think he likes to make Ayato feel challenged.
📚But Ruki’s not worried because he knows he’s better than him.
📚He has the best grades out of his brothers without even trying tbh.
Yuma:
📚Third-year
📚Doesn’t have a rival but he dislikes Shu a lot.
📚He usually helps Azusa so he doesn’t get bullied plus he knows people will try to pick on him.
📚So he protects him a lot of the time. 
📚He’s gotten into fights and Ruki tells him not to do it again over and over but he never changes.
📚”Ruki, man, I lost my cool with those @ssholes.”
📚”Yuma, you have to control yourself, they’re only humans remember?”
📚Has decent grades, he doesn’t like not passing so he does put in the effort.
📚It’s mostly because he’s not lazy and hates slacking no matter what it is.
📚So he’s always productive, and as you can imagine he does well in P.E. mostly cause he has a lot of strength.
📚Coaches want him on the team bc he’s tall. 
📚I know he’s not arrogant but I think he does like to flex about his strength just a little deep down but not very much.
📚Because Yuma is strong I see that helps out with caring things if the teachers ask or if the school is setting up for festivals the Mukamis usually help out and he’s always carrying heavy boxes for them.
📚If he notices one of his teachers has too many things in their hands he offers them help.
📚Bc he’s tall he’s always asked to sit in the back so other students can see, which he does.
📚There was one time a girl asked if they could switch sits bc she was much shorter than him and so he felt bad for not noticing earlier.
📚Didn’t mind giving up his seat. Although if he liked the girl he’d just tell her to sit on his lap or that if she wanted to switch seats that automatically makes her his.
📚He doesn’t talk much in class it’s only if he’s supposed to or if he has a question about the work.
📚But usually he’s just listening and doing the work.
📚He always has his hair tied up and I swear girls would d!e to see it down.
📚Not in a clique, he’s either with Azusa or Ruki, helping someone, or is on his own in class. Sometimes he’s just chilling.
📚Although if the school had a garden, he’d be all for it.
📚Used to be on one of the school's sports teams but he doesn’t do it anymore.
📚After school, he is either in study hall, or in a club since it’s required. And if he had to be in a club, it be something like cooking or something to do with horticulture. Even something regarding handy work- he likes it.
📚His favorite class is probably cooking class because it’s about food and P.E. because he can be outside.
📚Although the Mukami’s are pretty popular especially because of Kou people are intimidated by Yuma because he’s very loud and he’s got a deep voice.
📚So most do not approach him because of this but there are still girls who do like him, though I think he is bothered way less than Ruki and Kou.
📚And he honestly prefers it that way bc he can’t stand a crowd of teenage girls gushing over him. 
📚Sure, this would boost his ego up but he finds fangirls annoying. He just can’t stand the screaming or outbursts of excitement.
📚You can find Yuma usually in study hall, helping out Azusa, in detention bc he got in a fight to protect Azusa or bc Kou annoyed him.
📚You might even find him outside just thinking or on the rooftop just sitting around.
📚His locker is a little messy, not too messy but a little sloppy.
📚It probably has a dent or two in it bc of previous fights or whatever.
📚He keeps books for school, a jacket/sweatshirt, stuff for Azusa considering that he might forget, spare keys to the mansion, a hair tie, has a gardening journal and he does add to it. Has small plants which he takes care of. 
📚The locker smells like herbs so it’s actually not bad.
📚He might even keep extra items that he has to return, like if the girl he likes loses something and he finds it he keeps it in his locker until he sees her again.
📚his desk if he were to have one, i know most hs don’t but it would be the same deal as his locker not sloppy but smells nice.
📚He ignores Kou and tries to avoid him since he does find him annoying.
📚One time he got a love letter and he didn’t know what to think of it. He felt bad seeing he didn’t feel the same and he was a little surprised.
📚He gets them sometimes but it is rare, usually he pretends like he didn’t receive them bc he doesn’t know what to do with them.
📚Keeps Kou in line if he tries to blow their cover because he was thirsty.
📚Has probably gotten slips for cursing.
📚If he liked a girl he’d be the biggest jerk to her by tea$ing her all the time. And he doesn’t crush on many people- it’s not common.
Kou:
📚Third-year
📚His rival is Laito.
📚And oh boy, they go from one girl to the next.
📚They're always trying to see who received the most love letters.
📚He is surrounded by his fangirls a lot of the time.
📚His locker is filled with loved letters and fan mail.
📚Paparazzi take pictures of him.
📚He likes it but he does kinda hate it and wishes the girls would leave him alone at times.
📚In class he is the pretty boy and usually he distracts the girls which gets him in trouble.
📚He sits on the end of the middle rows or in the middle he doesn’t care honestly.
📚He somewhat studies but not a lot.
📚Will have one of his fangirls do his work and Yuma gets mad at him and calls him lazy.
📚If he has an interest in a girl he doesn’t pursue it bc of the fans.
📚In one of the mangas I believe he let Yui get bullied so only tells you how much he will be involved or be of help.
📚After school activities he might join a dance, drama, or glee club.
📚His favorite class is music and P.E. because he can socialize.
📚Encourages Azusa to get out there.
📚He gets into arguments with Yuma a lot which is why he does get in trouble.
📚He’s also a two-faced b!tch so some people don’t like him.
📚The group that he is in consists of girls, it’s really just the fan club at his school tbh.
📚He also hangs out with his brothers sometimes.
📚His locker is pink on the inside, there’s candy, a cat poster, extra clothes, a headset, outfit accessories, and music albums he likes.
📚Listens to LDR on repeat and other indie artists.
📚His locker probably smells like starbursts or some cologne he advertised.
📚It’s not very messy he has some shelves for his books and the locker has stickers on the front of it.
📚There is a good stack of fanmail in there too.
📚His desk doesn’t have much either it's just the school books and some candy.
📚He doesn’t get in trouble often either.
Azusa:
📚Third-year
📚He doesn’t have a rival he’s too nice.
📚He may have been suspended for showing his knife collection though for show-n-tell.
📚A loner, he doesn’t seem bothered by it but his biggest fear is not being acknowledged.
📚He probably likes this one girl in his class but he knows better than to approach her.
📚So he just admires her from afar and that's about it.
📚He doesn’t get love letters, not really.
📚Sits in the front or middle rows of seats.
📚He doesn’t really care, his grades are poor so he is in a lot of remedial classes to better understand.
📚Yuma is usually with him to help him pass.
📚It doesn’t surprise me if he’s slept in class before either.
📚A lot of people find him strange considering he has a lot of bandages and talks slow.
📚Realistically, I’m not surprised if people avoid him bc they can’t understand him.
📚They might think he’s mental bc he talks slow.
📚People don’t know much about him tho.
📚His locker is pretty vacant and has red stains on the front. (it’s his b!ood from his wounds but no one thinks its that.)
📚He keeps gauze in there, bandages, books for school, a hoodie, and probably a small knife.
📚If he had a desk it’s the same thing, he’s simple.
📚Doesn’t have a favorite class.
📚You can find him with his brothers, alone sitting on a bench, in the bathroom fixing his bandages, in the nurse's office, or talking to himself.
📚He’s actually nice and fails to realize it so he gets let down a lot.
📚Every time he approaches people it doesn’t really work.
📚Not surprised if he got bullied at first but Yuma stepped in and changed things.
📚No one will ever mess with him after that.
📚I feel like he felt bad for one girl who didn’t have lunch once so he asked Yuma for an apple and gave it to her bc he felt sorry for her.
📚It didn’t last very long bc the girl thought he was strange after hearing things.
📚It hurt his feelings afterward.
Tsukinami
Carla:
📚Third-year
📚Okay according to the games it was said that Shin and Carla were posing as exchange students from England when they attended Ryoutei High School. So it leads me to think that they’ll fake their accents to make it believable—and I mean they’ve been around for thousands of years so it’s not hard to believe that they could fake it.
📚Although his bro is the type to fl!rt with girls so he can get what he wants, Carla makes sure he doesn’t get out of hand and keeps him in check.
📚I could see him constantly scolding his younger brother all the time.
📚Doesn’t have a rival cause he’s better than that.
📚In class, he probably sits in the middle row but honestly he doesn’t care where he sits, but I don’t think he’d sit in front bc he is tall.
📚He probably did once and the teacher asked him to move bc he was too tall and he doesn’t like to talk about it.
📚Doesn’t ask questions, he’s so quiet it’s scary—and it honestly makes him look more intimating than he already does. He doesn’t really have an approachable persona.
📚If girls ask for his number he is heavily confused, mostly because he’s not very familiar with the technology.
📚He does have to act polite though to keep a good image—plus, he’s well mannered in general.
📚A lot of girls are interested in him tho.
📚So he does get some love letters and boy is he confused.
📚Shin had to explain it to him and he was still weirded out.
📚He acts like they’re silly and pretends to throw them away but he actually keeps them hidden away so no one can tea$e him for it.
📚He’d be dy!ng to figure out who it is though.
📚He’s not really a part of any cliques- he kinda just does his own thing in the sense that he goes to school and then goes home while making sure Shin isn’t causing any trouble.
📚His fav class is probably art class as you may have guessed it. If the school has a painting gallery, he’s all for it.
📚However, he gets quite critical with the pieces on display since they’re probably done by students. He’ll say they have potential, but they’re nothing like the classic/ancient artists.
📚His locker is rather neat. He pretty much just keeps what he needs for school in there.
📚He doesn’t understand why some people decorate them, he just finds no use for it and finds it kinda juvenile.
📚He’s not really into any modern fandoms of any sort, so it only adds on to why he doesn’t understand why some students decorate them.
📚Shin pranks him—like, all the time.
📚Like, there was one time when he opened his locker and it squirted water at him.
📚There was another time when he had obnoxious and loud music play from it since he opened it.
📚After those incidents, he’s honestly scared to open it and worries something will happen.
📚If he had a desk it’s the same as his locker, nothing special.
📚His uniform is a mess in all honesty. I mean, seeing what Rejet did with his character, you really can’t tell what’s going on right upfront with his outfit.
📚It just looks like a chaotic mix of patterns and colors even though the prominent shade is black- it looks like an unfinished outfit, or that they just grabbed whatever from the lost and found and put it on him xDD.
📚Tbh, he looks more like he’s dressed up as a character for a school play, than an actual student.
📚Also, I don’t understand how he’s never tripped over that long-a$$ scarf he wears. Like, how??
📚Girls have asked him out and have even fl!rted with him and he couldn’t even take a hint.
📚Especially if it’s something like “Shoot your shot” kind of thing.
📚And Shin is just laughing cause he’ll have to explain it to him later.
📚Since he’s an exchange student from England and is probably faking a British accent (no one suspects it’s fake tho), some girls have said his accent is cute and he just doesn’t know how to take it because he’s so embarrassed by their commentary.
📚Because he’s old and old-fashioned he thought that a lot of the girls were prostitutes at first based on their attire, but that was until Shin told him otherwise.
📚He doesn’t like P.E. because they told him he couldn’t wear his scarf. It ruins his day every time.
📚Plus, he has to wear the school’s P.E. uniform that consists of a t-shirt and shorts and he just feels so exposed since he’s used to wearing layers of vests and jackets (scarf included haha).
📚“How shameless. I feel like a n@ked brute.” He’d think.
📚And he has to take his gloves off and it’s just torture to him because again, he’s not used to exposing himself that way.
📚He ties his hair up in a ponytail for P.E. and the girls rave about it while he’s just embarrassed.
📚He hates the physical exam checkups because he doesn’t want to be shirtless, meanwhile Shin is all for it since he gets the excuse to show off.
📚And every time he has to take his shirt off, girls are all over it which leaves him to blush and this honestly embarrasses him even more.
📚You can find Carla at the cafeteria getting coffee, reading, in the art gallery, at the school's theatre, or outside probably in a secluded area of the school just sitting down and relaxing and waiting for next period.
📚He doesn’t really participate in sports, but because his extracurriculars require one, he took on dodgeball only because Shin suggested it.
📚At first, he had no idea what it was or how it worked. It took a few rounds to fully understand, and this was because Shin didn’t explain the rules to him, and he just kept getting Carla out every round.
📚Once Carla figured out how the game worked, there was no stopping him, especially when Shin was on the opposing team.
📚To get him back for not explaining the game to him, he aimed the ball so hard at him that it pushed him back into the gym’s wall, which left everyone astonished.
📚After that, he became everyone’s top pick for their dodgeball team and is regarded as a top player in school for that sport.
📚In general, he doesn’t really go for everyone else and makes sure that his magic sends the ball Shin’s way to get him out. And he of course knows he can’t go that hard with human players, so he goes easier on them, but with Shin or any other supernatural creature that may play, he has no mercy on them.
Shin:
📚Second-year
📚(in case you didn’t read Carla’s know this) Okay according to the games it was said that he and Carla were posing as exchange students from England when they attended high school. So it leads me to think that they’ll fake their accents to make it believable and I mean they’ve been around for thousands of years so it’s not hard to believe that they could fake it.
📚They’re like experts at lying and covering their @sses.
📚So I could really picture Shin calling every girl “Love” or “Sweet Heart” wouldn’t that just be hot? In a British accent? I think it would be.
📚Plus, I mean he’s a ladies' man, so he likes charming girls to do what he wants.
📚It makes it easier for people to not catch on if he’s convinced enough people.
📚He’s also more of a fl!rt and a per.v (openly) than Carla is. (But Carla is also a per.v.)
📚Doesn’t have a rival because he doesn’t think there’s a point. He thinks he’s better than everyone anyways.
📚In class, he sits in the middle row close to the back.
📚He’d totally sit in front of the girl he likes just cause he’s taller and it would make it harder for her to see.
📚And he wouldn’t give up the seat if she asked him to move, he’d just tea$e her endlessly about it.
📚He’d literally always gives that girl a hard time.
📚Bribes girls into doing his homework for him and tries to sweet-talk teachers to get out of doing exams.
📚Carla has to constantly scold him about this, saying that it's not good for their family image, but he never listens.
📚His grades are so-so- it’s not too bad but he hardly turns stuff in on time.
📚In general tho, at school a lot of people know him, and girls like him. There is a fair amount of them fawning over him.
📚And he digs it bc he has so much confidence.
📚Typically he and his brother have familiars drive them to school but sometimes Shin likes to go in his wolf form.
📚And Carla tells him not to go in his wolf form since it means he’ll be n@ked afterwards but Shin just tells him he’ll bring his backpack to change.
📚So yes, he’s gone to school n@ked and casually changed in the boy’s locker room.
📚Some girls have seen him sneek into the boy’s locker room n@ked, but he doesn’t care. At times, he’s even shown off and acted pretty cocky about it since he was giving them a whole scene.
📚His favorite class is either P.E. bc he can watch the girls or something like literature, history or a poetry class.
📚As for after-school activities he is probably in the basketball club since it is canon that he knows how to play.
📚Though he does like to watch the dance recitals and watch the girls.
📚And as you can imagine if there is a girl that piques his interest and she’s part of something like that he definitely wants to go.
📚You can find Shin in a lot of places, talking to cheerleaders/other girls, getting into fights, sweet-talking some girl up against his locker, playing basketball, in the yard staring at nature, or even him peaking in the girls locker room with Kino and Ayato.
📚Although If he had to be in a clique it’d probably be with jocks. Tho he’s not a part of that silly record Ayato keeps about girls regarding who’s nailed who.
📚Has gotten love letters before and thought it was very amusing.
📚When it comes to his locker I’m sure he decorated it, and it’s for two reasons, one bc he needs to blend in and appear like any other teenager, and two because it looked like fun to him.
📚Even tho he’d never admit it.
📚Shin’s locker is pretty clean for the most part, might have some scratches, it smells like his cologne that’s like a musk.
📚He keeps spare clothes in there bc when he changes out of his wolf form he’s gonna need it.
📚Shin also has some books, a weapon of some sort, and probably some object that retains magic in case it’s needed.
📚His desk is the same deal if the school provides them with that. Whatever the case his main goal is to have it look ordinary so no one suspects anything.
📚His locker is right next to the girl he finds interesting.
📚She doesn’t give anyone the time or day so he’s interested in her as hell.
📚The first time he tried making conversation with her, she gave him a bit of the cold shoulder, but bc he can listen to a human’s heartbeat he could tell that she was nervous and a little scared when he approached her.
📚The best part is that she doesn’t know that he can do that.
📚He follows her around and enjoys listening to her heartbeat change to being calm when she is with others, but when she’s with him it goes back to beating fast.
📚It’s not because she has a crush on him, she’s just a little uncomfortable and surprised that he approaches her.
📚“Heh, so she’s nervous around Prince of the Founders.”
📚Let’s be honest his uniform is off but considering that they are said to be in specail classes maybe this is allowed???
📚idk, all I know is that if he really wants to blend in he needs to lose the eye patch which he might be able to with some magic to heal his eye temporarily for the day.
📚Probably what he’d try to do but would find it to much of a hassle and just stop caring for it.
📚Carla has to constantly remind him to not use magic whether it's for sports, convincing people, fighting someone or anything.
📚Sometimes he does and Carla gets upset bc he took a risk in exposing them.
📚Has gotten into fights which leads Carla to step in.
📚He does feed on some girls but don’t worry he covers it up by erasing their memory.
📚Shin doesn’t date anyone at the school though he just has some flings or whatever but never a relationship bc he doesn't want to lower himself to that degree to be with a human.
📚Bc he does like pranking he will participate with Ayato and Kino when it comes to pranking teachers.

Thank you for writing my request! It turned out amazing! I hope you don’t me doing another? Could you do a Tsuji x Reader? Reader is the younger sister of 9. Reader and Tsuji have been talking for a long time when Tsuji confesses to her. Reader has no idea who to respond and gets interrupted by her brother picking her up from them hanging out. Tsuji kisses her cheek before they leave and tells her to think about it. 9 just looks confused and before telling them you can’t date you know that right
(I don’t think being 9’s younger sister would give much of a social life or romantic life)
(Tsuji helped Reader when some students from another school tried to jump her)
Character: Tsuji x Fem! Reader
Note: I forgot to update..... Sorry. SOMEBODY PLEASE DO MORE OF TSUJI AND SHIBA 😭. also @mrskenpachizaraki this is for you 😊
Tumblr media
The bell ring loudly as the whole students packing their bag without caring of the teacher’s words. You sat there, zoning out since while looking at the athletes training at the field.
“Remember class, I need your parents to sign the form or else you can’t participate in the field trip.” The teacher said.
You put on your headphones before playing the One Ok Rock song. You are a big fan of that band since you entered high school. Thanks to your former best friend.
Since she passed away, you didn’t socialize anymore. Only wake up, go to school, come back, play the guitar and finish your homework and sleep.
The routine oy change if you brother remember to come home, otherwise you will do it every day. Anyway, you can just forge your brother’s signature. 9 never home so it's not a big of a deal.
While walking to the bus stop, you saw several girls with a different uniform than you. You went to Seiho All Girls School and the uniform there are brown. Those girls wear blue.
Ah, must be from the rich school
You tried to ignored them but the one with the pony tails stops and push you.
' Fucking bitch. You thought.
The melon bread that you were eating laying flat on the ground before one of them stepped on it.
That was supposed to be your dinner.
“So this is the girl that Keiji like?” You stared at her before trying to remember the name.
Who the hell is Keiji?
“I don’t know that people from Seiho is are this shameless.” Their accusations making you felt dizzy.
First of all, who are they? And second of all, since when you talk to people?
The last person you ever communicates with was your homeroom teacher. She said your grades are good enough to be accepted to the top Universities in Japan.
“ Who do you think you are, huh? Taking another girl’s boyfriend. Are you that shameless?”
Ah, now you understand.
Despite being a loner, you are quite popular among other people. Since you are the president for the chess club and the top student of the school, people talks about you a lot.
But of course, nasty rumours do spread around.
You give them an annoyed look. Do these girls thinks that you are THAT cheap?
“Ah, him? Sorry but he’s the one who like me. I can’t do anything about it girl.” You replied.
If they wanted to act like a mean girl, then you can also do the same.
You saw how her hand almost touching your face until a big veiny hand appear. You opened up you eyes after not feeling anything, only to see two stranger. One with the red hair was holding her hand and one with the blonde hair covered your body from them.
“ Five versus one? My, you guys really that pathetic huh?” The girl tried to snatch her hand back but the man’s grip tighten.
“ Mind your own business!” The girl says.
She tried to act tough even though you see how her leg shakes. You did felt a tinge of pity but then you chose to forget it.
“How can this not be our business? How can an elite group came here? Didn’t you guys too far from home?”
The girls were to stunned by their words. The red head finally let go of the girl’s hand. She wince at the pain before covering the wrist. Her white skin turns red.
“This is not over yet!” She yelled before walking away with her group of friends.
You waved at her before looking tried to walk away.
“Thanks for your help but I can protect myself.” You said before disappearing from their sight.
You put on your headphones back before turning on the music. Well, that will be the first and last time you see them.
Meanwhile, Tsuji and Shibaman were stunned by your reply.
“Nee Tsuji, we shouldn’t help her you know.”
Tsuji scratch the back of his head before looking at his partner.
“Well, it’s not wrong to help her. Besides, she’s cute ya know?” Tsuji smirked before walking away.
Shiba followed him but still puzzled at his words. There is no way in seven hell Tsuji like that girl.
The next day, you put on the headphone as soon as the class is over. The field trip talk is unnecessary. You brother did came back last night to give you the monthly allowance before going back to his usual work.
You didn’t care, as long as he gave you enough money to survive then you are okay.
Your instinct told you to take off the headphone and you did. A big figure towering over you, making you tilted your head a bit.
It is him, the guy from yesterday.
“ You shouldn't walk while listening to the music. Somebody might jumped on you .” He said before taking the headphone off your head.
“ What are you? Stalker?” You said before snatching the headphone back.
You walk past him but before you could put on the headphone again, he grab it and put it around his neck. You glared at him before trying to get it back.
“U, uh. I’m taking this.” He said.
You groaned at his actions. How old is this guy anyway?
“ I’m Tsuji by the way. Nice to meet you.” He said.
“Fuck off.”
Several months went by and you and Tsuji has a pretty good friendship. If he didn’t hang out with his Oya High friends he would hang out with you. Depending on his mood, usually he would walk you home and have a dinner with you.
Surprisingly he can cook.
“Hey.” You raises your head, just Tsuji and Shibaman is nowhere to be seen.
“Where is Shiba?”
“Well, his sister wants to meet him. What are you listening to?”
Tsuji took your left earbud before putting it on his ear. You play the song to let him hear it.
“It’s cool. Who’s the artist?”
“Halsey.” He nodded.
Without him knowing, you blush slightly. You find it hard to push him away lately. Both of you have been seeing each other everyday and sometimes he even walk with you to school despite Oya High is on the other side of the town.
“So, are you free tonight? We can watch the star.” He asked while opening the café door for you.
“My brother is coming tonight. Sorry.” You apologize but the man just smile.
“It’s fine. Let me order the drinks” You watch him walking to the counter.
Your heart beats faster than usual. Oh my god you are in love with this guy.
You can’t deny it, Tsuji is a good guy. He walks you home, he bought flower whenever he visited you at your apartment, he accompany you whenever you study at the library despite him just watching without doing anything.
You can’t help but like him. Well, this tiny little crush will never be known by him of course.
He can’t know. You have a reputation to uphold.
“Hey they run out of (f/f) smoothie. Is coffee fine?” He said worriedly.
“ It’s fine.” You said before taking the cup.
Good bye to your sleep.
You took out your exercise book and your notes. Tsuji just watching you solve the math questions. After several minutes, you change to the other book.
“Do Seiho always gives their students lots of homework?” He asked while sipping his coffee.
You look up before putting the pen down. You just realized that you got another three subject to finish by tomorrow.
“Oh this? Well, English and Math from three weeks ago and Physics and Chemistry is from last week. Yeah the Japanese need to be submit by next week.” Tsuji scratches the back of his head.
You chuckled at his actions. Well, Oya wasn’t known for their intelligence. You don’t really blame him.
“Don’t study too much. You might go crazy.” He said before switching his focus to his phone.
“ Ok dad.” You rolled your eyes before continues to finish the whole essay. Tsuji smiled at your words.
He don't really paying too much attention on his phone. He has been staring at you secretly. He loves it whenever you bit your lower lips whenever you didn't know the answer.
The sun already set by the time you finish the Chemistry homework. You put all the pens and pencils inside your pencil case before putting it in your bag. You saw Tsuji just got back from the toilet.
“You done?”
“Yeah my brother will fetch me so you can just go home.” You said before sipping the remaining coffee.
“ Don’t be stupid. Let me walk with you.” He said before taking your bag and sling it on his shoulder. He grabbed you by the hand before both of you leaving the café.
You blush at the gesture. Thank god he didn’t see it.
The walk to the bus stop is quite. You didn’t know what to say or what to do. The way he holds your hand say it all but you don’t want to put your hopes too high.
Does he like you?
“The moon is beautiful right?” You heart skipped a beat.
Wait, what?
He suddenly stop before looking at you. Your eyes met his and he smile.
“ (y/n), I like you.”
You aren’t dreaming right?
Did he just, confessed his love to you?
“I, I....”
A loud honk shocked you. You look at the car, shit!
“Your brother?”
“Yeah.” Tsuji chuckled. He patted your head before kisses your right cheek.
“ I don’t need the answer tonight. Feel free to tell me when you are ready.” He said before wave good bye.
You still at the froze at your spot. He kissed you.
YOUR CRUSH KISS YOU!
You will never wash your face after this. Oh my god!
Before your brother loses his patience, you quickly went to his car and sat at the passenger sit. 9 gave you a weird look.
“Is that your boyfriend?" He gave you a confused look.
How come he never see that guy. Are you dating without him knowing?
"You know you can't date right? What will happen to your study if you got pregnant? Oh my god you got the entrance exam this year!"
You gave him an annoyed look. This is why you and him never in a good relationship.
Too overprotective. It’s suffocating.
“Shut up and drive old man. I want to eat sukiyaki.” You said.
Sleep well pretty. I’ll walk you to school tomorrow.
You smiled at the message. Ah, love is great.
“ I’ll send you to cram school if your grades drop. Also quit smiling like an idiot.” 9 can’t accept this.
You’re growing too fast.
“ I know okay.” You grumble.
Café date tomorrow?
Alright.
You grinned.
“I told you to stop smiling already!”
“Shut up old man!”

I'd love to hear your full thoughts on Bakugou. Shinsou too, though I suppose there's less to say about him
Hmm. The thing is with Bakugou is that I did actually post about him, months ago. I submitted it to that Anonymous Bakugou Hot Takes thing, long before I ever made this blog. It's not that I can't make a new post (and probably a better one? I'll admit that one had a lot more 'angry screaming' in it than I'm trying to actually put in these, and I think all this writing is helping me improve), but I kinda need to reorient my mindset so I don't just rewrite it, if that makes sense. So not now, but at some point in the near future, probably yeah.
Meanwhile, can I offer you some Shinsou analysis in these trying times?
Alright, here's the first thing: a lot of people who are reading this will have likely read some fanfiction, and seen Shinso there. There, you will learn that he's a sad, sad child, bullied by his classmates for his villainous Quirk, probably abused by his parents, and the only people who have ever thought well of him are Izuku and Aizawa.
Picture him in your mind. Place your hands on his shoulders firmly. Now, I want you to YEET HIM. Yeet him from your mind, from your memories, from your biases, from your basic understanding of his character. Fanon Shinsou is a fucking lie, and I want you to yeet those lies from your mind.
Let's sum up canon: First off, he's part of the mob of people who come to gawk at 1A for being almost murdered for having the guts to, gasp, go on a field trip. (I have never once been impressed by the crowd, as you might have guessed. Everyone is convinced that 1A is... bragging? You know, by just never mentioning it until someone else brings it up? Bragging about how a group of terrorists came to murder them, and how a lot of them almost died?)
Here, Bakugou makes an ass of himself, you know, as usual, and everyone, including Class 1B, who canonly just another hero class, thinks that he speaks for everyone, somehow. Having gained a bad impression of, not just 1A, but all heroics classes (even though we literally have Tetsutetsu from B, who says he's from B, go 'dude what the fuck' a minute later) Shinsou proceeds to go, 'I WILL DESTROY YOUUUUUU!!!!!' which is... you know, great. We get a bad first impression of him because he's honestly being almost as much of a dick as Bakugou.
Shinsou. You never want to, on any level, have your attitude be like Bakugou. The bar was near the damn ground, but you burrowed under it anyways. For shame, Shinsou, for shame.
Then we get to Sports Festival, where most of his screen time is, and he starts off by getting upset how UA is upping the brand for the hero students and 1A especially, which... alright, let's take a brief break for a public service announcement:
Fuck the Sports Festival. No, seriously, fuck the Sports Festival. It's stupid, it's bad for the students, it's just... no. Why is this a thing? Outside of giving Izuku more PANIK, I guess?
Only UA does this, and when UA was the best of the best of the best, SIR of schools that was..., actually it wasn't any better then, but it was somewhat more understandable. Then Shiketsu, UA's (theoretical, since we've never actually seen them live up to their hype, since they stopped existing after the licensing exams) equal, suddenly exists, and now you have to wonder why UA, of all schools, is the only one who does this. And it's somehow equal to the Olympics...? What, seriously? Are you saying every country watches this? Or that every sport has just never updated to really include Quirks? Or that all the sports obsessed fans are just going to forsake their obsession because HeRoS? Dial it back, Hori.
Beyond how over inflated it is... it's blood sports. The two of the three events center around high schoolers attacking each other, and the first includes it organically as a method of success. I doubt any of the other options we don't see are any better. All these people, all over Japan, or the world even, tune in to watch actual children hurt each other.
Best, or worst, of all, is it's clearly just a symptom of the over-celebritization of heroes that MHA pretends to talk about sometimes; really, the main reason this event exists is just to raise public hype, to sell the students as products to the public. The interning heroes could just... watch a private version of this, that isn't televised to the entire world, displaying the students strengths and weaknesses, humiliating the losers and denying the victors any privacy as soon as they leave their homes, because they don't even gets masks.
Now back to your regularly scheduled ranting.
Alright, so Shinsou deals with the race by... being carried around like a king. On an objective level, this is minimal effort for him, so he has more energy for him, so it's logical (or Aizawa style 'logical', more in a moment). On a more practical level, this fool child clearly hasn't realized that he needs to promote himself to the other heroes; any of them that see that are going to think he's just fucking lazy. On a Real Talk level, I don't think he could have passed if he actually tried to attempt it normally, because he's clearly not used to, you know. Using his body, judging by how much he flailed once he Quirk failed him later. As he tries to become a hero. Big Brain Move, there, Shinsou. (although I feel I should mention that there's like, four people just holding him up and walking? Maybe running? Every one of those barriers would have hard countered that, and his Quirk would do nothing to stop robots, tightropes, and a minefield. I'm honestly surprised he managed to pass at all, really; that can't have been fast. I suppose Hori didn't actually think about that, and he needed Shinsou to pass, so he passed, but his strategy is pretty dumb, just saying).
So, here's the thing about Shinsou: until now, he's mainly been comprised of bad judgement calls, making bad assumptions, and being rude. Not actually that big a deal, really. The Cavalry Battle is where we realize he's kind of an asshole.
He brainwashes his own teammates. Not because they don't work well together, not to make them, like 'coordinate' better like he's a hivemind (he doesn't work like that), not because they're enemies, but because... he can, I guess. Actually, there's a question of here if they even decided to team with him at all, or he just talked to the people he wanted and brainwashed them; I don't see anything that clears that up either way.
And that's the problem with Shinsou: he doesn't see a problem with doing that, with controlling the people around him, not even for an advantage, but just because he has that choice. And that's fucked up.
Worse, from what we've seen, him trying to talk to Izuku before hand? Is an attempt to plant his Quirk. Which I'm pretty sure is blatantly against the rules, but no one noticed it, and Hori doesn't see any problems with it, so the narrative shows this and everything else he does as him just being 'resourceful', instead of cruel or arrogant.
It's worse when you realize he has this... self-imposed victim complex, that he has it so hard. And how does he decide this? By what Quirks people have. Izuku has a strong Quirk, so his life must have been perfect, right?
*cue flashbacks to Izuku's entire life*
Yeah, the funny thing is? Shinsou is unironically Quirkest. He thinks the only reason anyone passes or fails anything is whether or not they had a good Quirk or not.
This is doubly ironic, because fanon Shinsou has everyone be Quirkest to him. But let's look at that flashback: he has people talking to him, that are at least friendly. One person says they're afraid, but right before they said that, one guy says he's jealous. The second flash back in A vs B has someone joking about being afraid of him.
Everyone we see now? Not one person is afraid. Even back then, no one is mentioning a 'villainous' Quirk, just that it's strong. Strong like Bakugou, who also had people afraid of him. It's just that Shinsou took at as a personal affront, and Bakugou liked it.
Really, the biggest thing we've seen Shinsou suffer from from his Quirk is it just matched badly with the UA Entrance Exam. Everything else, all the dislike he gets? It's because he's an asshole ("everyone here is an obstacle"), and uses his Quirk to use people. He plays down to the expectations he thinks people have of him, and so plays himself by making them think that way. Sasuga, Shinsou!
Beyond that... when you look at 'good' and 'bad' Quirks like he does? He has one of those good ones; every time someone talks about it it's just, 'Damn, that sounds useful'. His classmates liked it. The Heroes like it. The Hero classes like it. Every time someone's not directly threatened by it or were directly harmed (and sometimes even then anyways), they only sing its praises. Where is all this hate about Brainwash?
You've got to wonder if the reason he's so salty is that he knows that, knows he 'should' have passed with his 'good' Quirk, and took the fact he couldn't use it in the exam as a personal insult.
Fanon Shinsou just comes from someone who implied a bad experience, implied but never actually showed it happening, and then the fandom went fucking nuts off it. This escalated, and spread, until if you only know the fanfics (and I know one person who only reads MHA fanfics) then you'd think it's canon he spent his childhood loathed, spat on, and his parents put him in a muzzle.
But he's not. Ultimately, he's just one of many hollow characters in the series, ones that it's clear that will never actually be covered in any real depth.

IRL/OC Bracket FINAL: C & G vs Michael and Mantis!
C & G propaganda:
Ok so these next few paragraphs are copy pasted from what I wrote on queering the map. Hope it makes you cry :) (Entries were written around mid-2020, with the last being written in 2023)
My school had a field trip to this park, my best friend and I found a quiet spot under some trees. I set up the blanket/mat I had brought, she propped up an umbrella. We laid down beside each other face-to-face. That was the first time I ever felt tempted to kiss someone. To this day I consider it as one of my gayest moments (right next to asking her out and later on asking her to be my qpp on a ferris wheel XD)
November(?) 2017 - We were talking about your maybe-crush on a friend when you mentioned that you used to have a crush on me. I confessed about my past crush on you too and started flirting with you. "Have you moved on from her? Will you be my girlfriend? We don't have to put a label on it or anything yet we can just-" "Yes" We dated for a month (full of silly puns and cheek kisses and gifts from Japan) before we broke up (can you blame us? we were twelve and our dads found out) but you're still my very best friend. I love you G - C
February 2020 - Day of the school fair, I had everything planned for a perfect day for you and me... until you brought along a classmate who had no one to hang out with and you were too kind to say no. We went on all of the rides, the three of us, and you mentioned how you have always wanted someone to dedicate a song to you at the song booth. I went out to reserve one, and then I stayed with you until both of you had to leave for your shifts. That's when I put my plan into action. I reserved a sunflower at the Lovebooth (I knew you liked sunflowers because of a certain character (the roses were way too romantic anyways)) and when you came back we got into line at the Ferris wheel with our other friends. While waiting my dedicated song finally played, and you turned to me with nearly the happiest smile I've ever saw on you. When we were getting closer I went to get my reserved sunflower, but the line was slow so I ended up asking my aunt to hold it for me. When the line was nearly there I got it back from her and our other friends helped me to hide it (Your sister wanted to ride with us but I told her my plan and she changed her mind). You got on and as you turned to face me I held out your sunflower. When we got to the top of the Ferris Wheel I asked what I had been planning to ask you for a week. "I don't know much about it yet, I still have to research more but... G, would you be my queer platonic partner?" You smiled the happiest smile I've ever seen on you that day. G, we haven't talked much since quarantine started, but I want you to know that I love you. I'm not sure what kind (romantic or platonic) but I know that you have a special place in my heart. I can't wait for this to be all over and for us to be by each other's side, drawing and reading and just talking about the things we never share with anybody else. I love you - C
July 2023 - The school fair was over 3 years ago, can you believe? So much has changed since then, quarantine happened, we were reduced to online classes, and I ended up moving to the States for a chance of a better life. We kept in touch, of course, through messages screaming over fandoms and platonic marriages on minecraft servers (how dare you for suggesting that before i knew abt cbeeduo >:( ) and like 5 meet ups over the summers. But it wasn't enough, and timezones and a desire for a more physical (in a actually there beside you sort of way) relationship eventually culminated in you asking to break it off two weeks before I met up with you in the Philippines. God damn it G, why didn't you wait? I had it all planned in my head. The night of my debut, as all my guests were leaving, I would take you to a private corner where we would talk, and I admit to you that yes, maybe my feelings for you turned out more romantic than I initially thought, but with the physical distance it wasn't right for us to pursue something of that nature, especially as I had wanted to try dating in college and didn't want to end up hurting you. I would say I love you and maybe leave you with a kiss, and that was how we'd gain closure. Well the kiss didn't happen and you laughed when I scolded you for not waiting before you admitted that yeah, you felt the same way but also agreed that our level of commitment wasn't right for us, not anymore. You promised me that if by the time we were done with college we were both single we could try again, but I won't hold you to that. G, thank you for being my bestest friend and first love, and I'm sorry that life didn't work out the way we had planned. I love you though, whether romantically or platonically, and I hope you're happy with where you end up in life - Yours always, C
anddddd that's it! veered a little romantic at times, but whats more queerplatonic than a relationship that blurs the lines of platonic and romantic eh? at the end of the day, we're still best friends and we care for each other deeply, even if we no longer officially label it as a qpr. hope our story made you cry >:D
More C & G Propaganda!
Michael and Mantis propaganda:
we're both boygirls and girlfaggots and boydykes, you literally cannot get queerer than this. gay in every direction
we're also both autistic and have adhd. leads to some fun conversations where one of us listens intently while the other is going off about whatever interest they've got the brainworms for at the moment and it's the most fun i will ever have (common topics are: good movies, tragedies and shipwrecks, cannibalism, the absurdly powerful dnd podcast just roll with it, and many more)
we're long distance and we really need this win bc the earth is literally homophobic and keeping us apart and making us sad :(
michael has this whole mushroom/lichen/microorganisms/rot thing going and i have the space thing going and they're essentially the same things but on different scales (life and death and life in death etc etc), so we're thematically compatible. we were made for each other frfr
uuhhhh mental health improvement i guess
we tricked at least three people into thinking we were dating before we actually started dating. not on purpose
we started dating on april fools! that's fun!
same trauma and same issues. we get a lot of mileage out of relating to each other
i keep breaking my sleep schedule for him
uhm. also. we're really niceys and cool and stuff :3

An Education in Attraction, Chapter 16
Pairing: Reader x Gojo
Summary: It's spring when you start your Master's degree. As the flowers and leaves unfold, so too do your feeling for Gojo
Warnings: soft Gojo, first date, tooth rotting fluff
Previous Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Ao3: PlaidSparrow
Throughout the remainder of the week, you divide your attention between your academic responsibilities and thinking about your upcoming date. There’s enough room in your attention to complete the next set of readings, take detailed notes in class, and prepare for your shift at the Eikaiwa school after some of the tension dissolved from the heart-to-heart with Gojo.
Summer vacation is still at the top of your mind, so you work with your class to discuss more advanced vocabulary around hobbies, pastimes, and activities. The new words pair well with the lessons in future tense and goals you had done earlier in the year. While more practical words and lessons are important for future usability, you don’t want classes to be all work and no play, why would the students continue their studies if that were the case?
Classes the second week pass without incident. Apparently your conversation in the gardens has also sated Satoru for now, as he doesn’t stare or sit with you again. Once or twice after class you’ll catch his eye, share a smile, but he gives you the space to plan things without pressure. 
In Japan, it’s common for dates to last hours or the whole day, rather than be quick meetups, so it’s not just a dinner you’re planning, but an entire evening. It’s also customary for prospective couples to formally confess their feelings and intent,  which you suppose you did when you asked him out last week. 
His humor, intelligence, and care for education have all captured your interest, and you hope he’ll continue being open enough with you to learn the other parts of himself as well. You’ve got to create the right atmosphere.
Halfway through the week you decide to set the date for the upcoming Sunday- it seems to be an auspicious day between all the cafe study dates and Satoru’s apology- and ask him to meet you at your dorm in the afternoon. Leaving the activities as a surprise, you feel the flutter of nerves as you send the message. 
Gojo’s double-texted reply is quick and positive, which eases some of your worry, but it’s hard not to overthink. 
Sunday comes again, and you wake up with anticipation rolling in your belly. Instead of the choking anxiety that you had felt at the symposium though, these nerves are the warm kiss of possibilities of your relationship with Gojo. 
Satoru meets you outside your dorm, and you walk to the metro station together. The first stop isn’t far from campus, but the day is bright and warm and you’d rather not work up a sweat walking there. Gojo’s height makes it easy to track him through the crowd, the people part around him on the path to the train car. 
He looks as put together as ever- you’re not sure if he owns anything besides polished button downs and seemingly infinite pairs of sunglasses. You can tell he’s gotten a haircut though, and as you find a pair of seats on the train you get a whiff of his cologne, deeper and more sultry than what he had worn before. 
It’s a short ride to your stop, and you pass the time with light conversation on a safe topic- the two classes you’re in. Before long, you’re exiting the train and walking out into the sun together.
The first stop of the day is the National Museum of Nature and Science. 
You're sure he's been there before (all schoolchildren go on field trips after all), and perhaps it's cheating a bit since you're both in education. 
But walking through the museum and chatting will be a relaxed start to your date, and you're hoping the shared field of interest will give you plenty to talk about. 
You scan the ticket you’d bought in advance and head up to the third floor of the museum, where the natural history exhibits are housed. As you walk through the displays that outline the formation of Japan’s islands and fossils, you turn conversation towards him. 
“So your schedule has calmed down?”
“Yeah, there’s not as many conferences in the fall and winter.”
Your eyes trace the shape of the bones between the outlines of other museum-goers. It would be nice to have Gojo around more often, spending more days like this one together, working together in the library, maybe staying cozy together around a kotatsu. 
“Do you like presenting?”
“Oh yeah, I love it.”
Satoru might posture like he didn’t like the attention, but he certainly didn’t seem to mind the attention. Besides, you’re not exactly sure how he spends his time outside of writing papers and presenting on them. 
“What do you like to do then? You spend all your time jetsetting and doing homework?”
“Well I am a pretty good speaker,” you can hear the grin in his voice. “I keep busy. Plenty of things to do,” he looks back into the diorama.  
The two of you slowly make your way to the lower floors, talking mostly about the exhibits. Gojo seems pleased to talk to you, if not with the actual exhibitions themselves, before concluding your visit walking through the Theatre 360. The room is completely round, covered on all sides by screens that project the educational film created by the museum.
Walking across the suspended bridge in the middle of the sphere, you’re engulfed in outer space. The screens filter through HQ clips of the most remote parts of the universe- the cosmic dust, galaxies, and stars spiraling endlessly. 
It would be easy to feel alone, insignificant when confronted with the grandeur of all existence, and for a moment you’re nearly lost in it. Then Satoru’s hand brushes against yours and the contact from his body brings you down to Earth. 
You walk out of the theater, a bit awed and fragile, but Gojo seems more invigorated than ever. His steps are energetic and you imagine his eyes bright and impassioned behind the glasses.
“Didn’t I tell you Physics shouldn’t be boring? Think if you could have that in the classroom.”
“I think that’d be a little overwhelming in a classroom,” you laugh and lead him out of the museum and towards the restaurant for dinner. 
You had chosen a quiet restaurant a few blocks from the museum, a local shabu-shabu place.
You’ve never been there before, but the reviews online are good and they have an extensive dessert menu. Cooking the hotpot ingredients will give you something to do together, and the pictures online make the interior seem nice but low key, so you can focus on each other. The small restaurant should also be less busy than the Izakaya bars, even on the weekend. 
After thinking long and hard about what Gojo seems to like, it felt like a good fit. He’s clearly paid attention to what you’ve told him, and you think he’ll appreciate the consideration. 
Afternoon has leaked its way into evening, and it’s dim enough by the time you arrive at the restaurant that Satoru takes his glasses off. He tucks them into the top of his shirt and walks you into the restaurant. When his arm brushes yours, you have to repress a shiver, he radiates heat even through the layers of clothes. 
You’re taken to an intimate table along one of the walls. There’s no candles on the table, but the low light and sparse tables creates an ambiance that’s 
The warm lighting inside the restaurant suits him, as does the smile on his face. Even on a first date, he's perpetually unperturbed. 
The waiter introduces themselves and takes your order. You order yourself a little liquid courage, but Gojo sticks with water.
The meals arrive shortly after, the vegetables and meat are tender and flavorful, and the dipping sauces are savory. For the first time, conversation veers in a deeper direction. 
“You didn’t answer earlier. About what you like to do outside of school.”
“I don’t have a lot of free time, honestly. It’s nice to be out today though,” it’s nearly frustrating how charming Satoru can be when he’d like. 
“Really? There’s so much to do here, I don’t think I could see it all if I live the rest of my life in Tokyo.” You sigh. “It really isn’t easy to make time with the academic schedule though.”
“You like the museums in town?” He asks. 
You nod. “I know you’ve probably been to the Natural History one before, but it’s one of my favorites.  
“I haven’t been recently.” He looks at you slyly, “it’s been a while since someone’s asked me out.”
“I guess you’re lucky you didn’t scare me off,” you tease. It had been a rather bumpy start.
“Hey, you won me over.” He shrugs. “If you want to convince me further, I saw they have anmitsu and dorayaki on the menu.”
With the array of plates still in front of you, you’re not sure how he’ll have any room for dessert, but you’re not above bribing him with something sweet. 
“To think that’s all it would’ve taken in April. I’ll bring all my partners sweets in the future.”
“What can I say, I’m easy to please!”
You end up splitting both dessert dishes, leaving you pleasantly full and satisfied. Even though he’d joked about you picking up the tab, when you walk to the front of the restaurant to pay, he trades his card for yours. 
“Let's at least split it,” you say. That's what's most common in Japan anyway. 
“I've got it. You can treat next time.”
The fact that he wants there to be a next time is enough to make your face hot. 
“Soooo,” you lead out of the restaurant, “I thought that next we could walk along Sumida River. The lights from the bridges in the water are supposed to be very beautiful in the evening.”
“Sure, it's nice out,” he glances around the temperate night before turning back to you. “My apartment isn’t too far from here though, if you’d rather.” His voice is still light, but his eyes are dark.

Danger First Chapter 13
@pocketramblr
Thank you for everyone who suggested names! They were very helpful for this chapter.
.
Midoriya Hisashi lived and worked overseas, coming home to Japan only rarely.  His job had bounced him to every continent, and he’d even been to Antarctic City.  It was taxing work, but he enjoyed it, and, most importantly, it allowed him to provide for his beautiful wife and wonderful son, who he loved more than anyone or anything else in the entire world.  
That description was true except for one desperately important point: Midoriya Hisashi did not so much have a job as a sprawling criminal empire.  
But sprawling criminal empires sure were hard work!
Especially when you had your face literally punched off by your unfortunately-smarter-than-he-looked heroic nemesis.  Curse All Might, his entire family line, and the family lines of anyone who happened to succeed him.  
It had really been looking like Hisashi had successfully suckered him into dying without passing One for All on, but then his stupid smiles had become more genuine, and he’d started teaching at that stupid school, and well… one thing had led to another, and Hisashi could only reach the conclusion that All Might had picked a successor at the absolute least convenient time for Hisashi.  That is, the same year his beloved son, Izuku, started high school at that very same stupid school.  
Now, without a quirk, Izuku wasn’t going to become a hero.  Society as a whole was too bigoted, a fact Hisashi was grateful for.  So grateful, in fact, that he only tortured to death those bigots who direcly laid a hand on his son, rather than starting at the top of the refuse heap known as the Hero Commission and working his way down.  
However, despite this, Izuku was naturally brilliant enough for even the imbeciles at UA to recognize.  Was Hisashi happy with this?  Not exactly.  It meant that he had to plan around his son while looking for All Might’s successor.  But if Izuku hadn’t been admitted…  On some level, it saddened Hisashi that he wouldn’t be able to use the plans he’d made for members of the admissions board in the case that they did reject his son.  
Anyway, Hisashi could plan around Izuku being in gen ed, or management, or support, or business, or…
Hisashi was, admittedly, somewhat ashamed that he hadn’t managed to ask Izuku exactly which of the courses he’d gotten into.  He’d been… not sulking.  Supervillains did not sulk.  He’d been… less than thrilled about Izuku’s admission, and he hadn’t wanted to ruin Izuku’s celebration, so…  He just let Izuku ramble on about the hated school in that adorable and endearing way of his, without commenting.  
He had not been sulking.  
But, secure in the knowledge that Izuku was not in the hero course, Hisashi could simply arrange things so that any attacks on All Might, the hero course, other people at UA that annoyed him, etc., didn’t involve any of the non-hero-course first years.  So, he sent his minions (Kurogiri, Tomura, others whose names he hadn’t bothered to remember) to go find a time that the hero course would be nice and far away from anyone he actually liked (Izuku).  
To Hisashi’s great cheer, they’d seemingly managed to find the perfect venue for Tomura’s debut.  A hero course field trip to the USJ with All Might!
But Hisashi had forgotten the incompetence of said minions.  
Somehow, they’d confused the hero class with Izuku’s class.  All Might, the practical heroics teacher, hadn’t even been there!
Needless to say, Izuku had wiped the floor with Tomura.  Tomura, versus Hisashi’s son?  It wasn’t a contest, really. 
Hisashi didn’t have details about how Izuku had managed it, Tomura had mentioned something about ‘green children,’ and that one of them had a frog quirk and the other could fly, but neither of those matched Izuku.  Unlike the strained phone call from Inko and the brief conversation he’d had with an exhausted Izuku.  
After those calls Hisashi had almost decided to kill Tomura, regardless of how much he'd invested in him.  How in the world had they managed to mix up the courses like that?  Yes, Hisashi hadn't caught the mistake, either, but then he was blind and unable to read the itinerary Tomura had stolen.  It was hardly his fault!
So.  Yes.  Hard work.  Hard, stressful work, and he couldn't even go home to complain to his wife about it, because of the aforementioned face-punching-off incident.  
Tragic.  
Which is why he felt no guilt whatsoever about brushing off the good doctor to answer a call from his home phone number.  Not that he would have felt guilt, anyway.  It, along with shame, wasn't an emotion he experienced.
… Except with regards to still not knowing exactly which course Izuku was in.  
… And, possibly, never being home.  
But that was it!
"Midoriya Hisashi speaking," he said, smoothly into the receiver.  
.
"Holy crap," said Banjo.  "It is him."
"Hey," said En, kicking at and missing Hikage's ankles, "why isn't Danger Sense making Nine freak out?"
"Most likely because he isn't in any danger."
"Y'know, if this is 'no danger,' I'm shocked that Danger Sense is working for him at all."
.
"HI, Dad!" said Izuku.  "Sorry to call at a weird time.  You- you aren't busy, are you?"
"Not at all," said Hisashi, ignoring the doctor in front of him and the crime against humanity, science, and reason they were supposed to be animating on the table in-between them.  "Today has been unexpectedly slow."
"Oh, good.  I was wondering if you could help me with something?"
"Of course," said Hisashi.  For a moment, he let himself hope that his son had finally killed that explosive brat, Bakugo.  He mentally cycled through quirks that he could use to cover up the deed.  "What do you need?"
"It's for school.  You know the sports festival is coming up soon."
"Ah, yes," said Hisashi.  Some of the best quirk window shopping there was.  He'd tried to get Eraserhead's after his performance, but his first attempts hadn’t gone well, and he'd been forced to abandon the project.  "What do you need?  Who needs to be eviscerated?"
.
"No, really, how is this guy not registering as evil?"
.
Izuku giggled.  "Well, this year, they’re having everybody pick hero names beforehand."
Hisashi felt his heart stop.  Using a quirk he had acquired for just such a purpose, he kicked it back on and waved off the doctor.  "Everyone?" he asked, desperation expertly masked.  "Including the non-hero courses?"
"Ye-yes," said Izuku.  "I was wondering- I was wondering if you could help me with figuring one out.  I- I mean, my friends gave me lots of good options, but, um."
"I suppose your teachers vetoed Small Might?" Hisashi teased, gently.
"Don't remind me," groaned Izuku.  "I didn't even bring it up."
.
"He kind of did, though," said En.  
Nana shrugged.  "He crossed it out.  It hardly counts."  Then, undercutting her argument, she mumbled, "All Might is a great name."
The others nodded, some because they agreed, and some because they didn't want to wind up on the same side as All for One.
"If he tries to give Izuku a stupid villain name, I'm going to tear his throat out with my teeth."
"I thought you tried that already," said Hikage.  
"Third…"
"Hey!  You actually did try to do that!"  Third protested from his hiding spot.  
"Does it really matter?" asked Nana.  "You're a ghost."
"I'll haunt him, then."
"Now, I know we've all tried that one."
.
"Hm," said Hisashi, "why don't you tell me what your classmates came up with, first?"
"Ah, well."  There was the sound of shuffling paper.  "They had Strawberry, Marimo, Rabbit, Wonder, Augur and Auspex."
Marimo was obvious enough.  The others, however…  "Strawberry?"
"Because of what I look like when I'm blushing, I think.  I'm just glad it isn't tomato or something…  Marimo's kind of the same thing.  You- you know, my hair?"
"And Wonder is because you're wonderful?"
"Noooo, Dad.  Todoroki didn't mean it like that.  It's a play on, um.  Wonderland.  Like, the Rabbit of Wonderland?"
"The one who is always late?  I do hope you're getting to school on time."
"Dad!  I'm on time.  They just think my, um.  You know, the All Might antenna on my hood look like rabbit ears.  And they think I'm bouncy, I guess?"
So, Izuku was still wearing those awful novelty hoodies.  Not that Hisashi had expected otherwise.  It was still disappointing.  
"And the last two?  Augur and Auspex?"
"Those are because of my quirk," said Izuku.  
"Your what?"
There were only two possible avenues for a quirkless person to develop a quirk.  As Hisashi had decided against repeating the mistake he'd made with his brother, that left one.  
One for All.
All Might.
All for One was halfway out of the facility before Izuku answered.  
"O-oh!  I guess I never talked to you about it, because it manifested at the USJ.  Sorry, I was just so exhausted after everything…"
"It isn't your fault, Izuku," said Hisashi.  No, it was All Might's.  What, was the irresponsible idiot so convinced he was about to be killed by the noumu that he passed the quirk to the closest child?  If so, he was even weaker than he'd thought!  "What is it like?"
"It, um, it's a stockpile quirk!  We think that's why I never could activate it before.  It stockpiles danger and releases it as personal levitation.  The USJ just…  pushed it over into critical mass."
That… wasn't One for All.  
Hisashi killed a lab technician who had the misfortune of being close enough to hear part of his conversation and casually dumped them out of their chair so he could drop into it.  He'd experienced the phenomenon of having his bones turned to powder before, but now they felt practically liquid.  
He was still going to murder All Might, though.  Just not right now.
"That might be why I'm so anxious, too- I can feel the stockpile when it gets bigger."
"Fascinating," said Hisashi.  He could see how it might come about.  All for One was, technically speaking, a stockpile quirk, and both personal levitation and Attract would be telekinesis type quirks…  And since Hisashi was a first generation quirk user, odd quirk mutations were to be expected.  “I recall your mother mentioning that her biological mother had a quirk like that.  Something to do with flying.”
“Grandma’s quirk is Green Thumb, though,” said Izuku.  
“Your grandmother’s, yes,” said Hisashi, shuddering at the memory of that formidable woman.  The fact that he couldn’t kill her without upsetting his wife was criminal.  
Well.  So was he, but, really, what was the point of being a being of ultimate evil if you couldn’t be a hypocrite, too?
Not that he was a being of ultimate evil.  Yet.  It was a work in progress.  There were some travesties he hadn’t stooped to, yet.  Like taunting All Might with Shimura’s grandson.  Oh, and sexual crimes, he supposed, but those didn’t seem fun at all, so he was inclined to skip them.  
“But,” continued Hisashi, “your mother was adopted.  She only has her biological parents’ general quirk and medical history.”  Hisashi could have uncovered more, of course, but if Inko didn’t care, neither did he.
Although, with such a strange quirk manifestation from Izuku, maybe he should.  Just in case.
“Oh,” said Izuku, quietly.  “I didn’t know that.”
“Ah,” said Hisashi.  “Perhaps… don’t mention this to your mother?”
That earned Hisashi a faint but genuine chuckle.  “I won’t tell if you don’t.”  Izuku paused.  “Assuming she isn’t listening in on the line.”
.
“On one level, I’m surprised that Nine’s mom would do that,” said Nana, “on the other, she did marry this bastard, so…”
“Speaking of Mrs. Midoriya’s family,” said Hikage, “don’t you think it’s an interesting coincidence that her mother has a quirk similar to yours?”
“Yeah, that’s pretty convenient, isn’t it?  I was half convinced we were screwed the minute Nine picked up the phone to dial.”
Focused as Nana was on the conversation, she did not notice Banjo wrapping Hikage in Blackwhip and dragging him away.  
.
“You think she might do that?” asked Hisashi, nervously.  He nudged the cooling body of the technician with his toe. 
“I think you offered to kill people for us too many times, or something,” said Izuku.  “She said she wanted to make sure you weren’t giving me the wrong idea about things.”
Hisashi remembered that conversation, come to think about it, but it was more about Hisashi’s rather… vocal distaste for heroes than killing people.  Alas, that Izuku took neither talking point seriously.  
“I see,” said Hisashi. “You’ve gotten a quirk counselor, I hope?”  Oh, how Hisashi wished he could guide Izuku himself!  Maybe take the quirk for a test drive.  He’d give it back, of course, it would just be a minute…
“Mhm, my teacher has a license!”
Hisashi shook himself out of the fantasy.  “Good, good.  Now, you wanted help with names.”  The only way he’d get through this is if he considered them to be villain names, not hero names.  “In keeping with the theme of the last two, might I suggest Omen?”
“That sounds more like a villain name.”
Drat.  Izuku was always too smart for games like that.  “If you want something undeniably heroic, how about Skywalker?”
“Would that make you Darth Vader?” joked Izuku.  
“Please, I would be far more successful!”  Especially on the ‘living forever with one’s loved ones’ front, although he supposed he could take a loss in the ‘tempted one’s children to evil’ category.  
“Considering Anakin Skywalker, I think it’s a bit tainted, anyway.”
.
“He’s not even hiding it!” complained En.  “He’s basically stating that he’s evil outright!”
“This is why we didn’t want this kid as our ninth,” said Third.  
“Shut up,” growled Yoichi.  “You don’t get to talk, since you turned me into a folktale postmortem.”
“Maybe you should have done more actually cool things when you were alive, then!”
Yoichi gasped, offended.  
“Like, seriously, what kind of moron manages to miss this kind of evil metaphorically punching them in the face?  Even if it is a family member?”
Yoichi gasped, offended.  
“Oh,” said Third, belatedly remembering who he was talking to.  “Oops.”
“Can you guys be quiet?” snapped Nana.  “This is important!”
.
“Ah, well,” said Hisashi.  “It was worth a try.  Continuing with fortune telling, Tarot?”
“Like the cards?  That’s kind of far away from what my quirk can actually do.”
“Yes, but that can be a good thing.  You don’t want to be too straightforward.”  Even if he only wound up using it once.  “Risk, then, or Clover?  Both reference luck, and Clover again ties back to your appearance.”
“I kind of like Clover,” said Izuku, “and Risk sounds cool.”  There was a pause as Izuku wrote something down.  “It sounds like you have more?” Izuku’s voice tilted up hopefully at the end.
“A few,” said Hisashi.  “Apollo, a Greek god of prophecy also associated with spaceflight.”  Izuku made an interested sound.  “Comet, a ball of ice and space dust that was considered an omen of ill fortune to come.”  Hisashi sighed.  “Then, if you prefer the rabbit theme--” something Hisashi hoped was not the case; he didn’t want his son to have even an obscure homage to All Might in his name, “--Caerbannog or Gyokuto are appropriate.”
“... Isn’t Caerbannog the man-eating rabbit from that one ancient movie with King Arthur?”
“It may be.”
“We aren’t allowed to name ourselves after movie villains.”
“What’s the fun in that?”
Izuku laughed.  “You sound like Ashido,” he said.  “She wanted to name herself Alien Queen.”
“She sounds like she has good taste.”
"She does," said Izuku.  "You've given me a lot to think about."
"I certainly hope so," said Hisashi.  "I could also help with assuring your dominance over your enemies.  Bakugo Katsuki is in one of the hero courses, yes?"
"I- I'll be- I'll be okay, Dad.  Plus, you never take stuff like this seriously."
While Izuku couldn't be blamed for not knowing about Hisashi's less-than-legal activities, the statement still hurt.  Hisashi's offers of massacring Izuku's rivals were always serious!
"You told me I should go ahead and break Kacchan's arms to establish superiority when I was eight.  Who does that?"
.
"Yes, Ninth," said En.  "Who does that indeed?"
"He's so close but so far away," mourned Nana.  
.
"He would have recovered."
"There you go again," said Izuku with a slight laugh.  "My friends and I are working on a plan to win, don't worry!"
Ah, Izuku was collecting minions.  Excellent.  UA graduates were often sho-ins for positions of power and importance.  Making a network early on would help him later.  
"I should probably let you go if you're still at work," said Izuku, a little sadly.
"Mhm," said Hisashi, aware of the need to keep his cover as a normal businessman.  "I'll call at the normal time and we can talk more, alright?"
"Okay.  I love you, Dad."
"I love you, too.  And Izuku?"
"Yeah?"
"You are a wonder.  Never let anyone tell you otherwise."
.
Izuku frowned down at the spreadsheet of names and their respective pros and cons in front of him.  It was very large.  
He sighed.  "I'm going to have to sleep on this."
.
Yoichi clapped his hands.  "So, are we all in agreement that we cannot let Izuku pick a name my brother came up with?"
"Sure," said En, "but it's not like we can do anything about it."
"We could give him Blackwhip about it," said Banjo.  "That would screw up all of his ideas."
"We're not doing that," said Yoichi, serenely.  "My plan is to hope we have some influence over Izuku's subconscious and scream at him not to take any of my brother's evil names."
"All night?" asked Nana, resignation carved deep into her face.  
"That's what it takes."
"Wouldn't it be better to scream a name we do like at him?" suggested Hikage.  "A single, simple, message is more likely to connect."
"I like the way you think," said Yoichi.
"Oh, no," mumbled Nana, "I see what's coming."
"So, what name do we like?" continued Yoichi, oblivious to the coming disaster.  
"It can't be Strawberry," said En, quickly.  "Ichigo is the wrong number."
"Singularity!" shouted Banjo.  
"Nine would be the right number," continued En.  "But a hero can't be named suffering…"
“Naming him Nine would be counterproductive in the ‘let’s not get Ninth murdered by All for One’ department,” said Nana.  
“If it helps,” said Yoichi, “I think he’s more likely to get vaulted.”
“Like a ceiling?” asked Hikage.
“Troubleshoot!” yelled Banjo.  “Danger Fist!  Harbinger!”
“A ceiling?”
“A vaulted ceiling.”
“Reflex!  Nemesis!”
“Dude,” said En.  “Nemesis isn’t a very heroic name.”
“What,” said Yoichi, “do you think vaulted ceilings have to do with this?”
“I don’t know,” said Hikage.  “You brought them up.  I thought maybe he had a quirk for them.”
“For vaulted ceilings?”
“Yes.”
“Black Cat!  Magpie!  Nexus!  Versatile!”
“You do remember that the name has to make sense with One for All as it currently is, right?” asked Nana.  
“How about Sixth Sense?” said En.
“You just want your number to come up again,” accused Banjo.  
“My number came up almost as long ago as yours, old man.”
“That doesn’t even make sense!”
“Okay, so, when I say vaulting I mean bank vaults.  Imprisonment.  Isolation.”
“I see,” said Hikage.
Yoichi nodded, then sighed as he realized the other ghosts had dissolved into chaos.  “This is going to take a while, isn’t it?”
.
“Hi, Mr. Yagi!  How are you today?” asked Izuku, having run into his mentor outside the teacher’s lounge.
Mr. Yagi took a long, slow sip of coffee.  “I had a very strange dream about people yelling at me to change my hero name.”
“Huh,” said Izuku.  “What did they want you to change it to?”
“Either Troubleshoot or Troubleshot.  It was…  strange.”  He shook himself.  “But what brings you here so early in the morning, my boy?”
“I was hoping to talk to Ms. Kayama,” said Izuku.  “I think I’ve got my hero name pinned down, but I’d like to talk to her about it, first!”  He held up the paperwork for submitting his hero name.
“Oh!  That’s wonderful,” said Mr. Yagi.  “May I see?”
“Sure!” said Izuku, turning the paper around so Mr. Yagi could see it.  
He fluffed Izuku’s hair.  “I think that suits you very well, young Midoriya!  I’ll go see if Ms. Kayama is here, alright?”
.
Unfortunately, the past users of One for All were not listening to the conversation.  This was less because they had worn themselves out from shouting, and more because Izuku’s choice of name had shown that all their efforts to communicate were useless and they were wallowing in self-pity.  It was a whole thing.  
.
Kurogiri’s wounds had healed acceptably, with the doctor none the wiser.  So, as usual when he wasn’t rescuing Tomura from trouble, helping the doctor in the lab, engaging in miscellaneous criminal activities, or giving random small-time villains alcohol poisoning, he was doing housework, tidying up the hideout.  
It quickly became apparent that Kurogiri wasn’t very good at tidying.  Cleaning in general, really.  
It was equally obvious that Kurogiri was also the only one that even tried to clean the hideout.  
(In the back of his mind, Kurogiri thought it… odd… that these two thoughts felt so newly discovered.  He and Tomura had been here for years.  He should have already known this.)
Yes, he couldn’t expect his master to clean, that was ridiculous, and the doctor was rarely here.  But Tomura…  No, no, not Tomura.  But Kurogiri wasn’t the only minion to ever inhabit this place.  Most of the others were dead now, but even when Kurogiri had been alive he’d helped with classroom cleaning and kept the apartment clean.
Wait, what?
Regardless, this was no place to raise a child.  Not that Tomura was a child anymore, nor was Kurogiri, which…
Kurogiri had never been a child.  
In the context of sanitation, the hideout was wretched.  That was the point of this.  
Dispirited, Kurogiri wrung out the mop, nearly black water drizzling into the small plastic bucket he’d scrounged up.  Maybe he’d be better at cleaning if he had better supplies.  It was like they wanted Tomura to grow up in soul-crushing squalor.  
They who?
It would be better for Tomura to have grown up somewhere else, somewhere safe, away from them.  
Kurogiri pressed a hand to his head, and then his neck.  No.  
It wasn’t too late--
Kurogiri slammed his hand against the corner of the hall, where two off the walls came together.  There was a satisfying, agonizing click in his wrist and some of the paint on the wall flaked off, revealing a metal bracket.  Kurogiri breathed shallowly, listening.  The only sound in the hideout was the faint music from one of Tomura’s games.  
It was Kurogiri’s job to protect and nurture Tomura, to help him carry out his goals.  Yes.  And to do that…  
Kurogiri leaned the mop against the wall.  Tomura couldn’t carry out his goals alone.  His goals which were…  His goals.  Defeating All Might.  That was at least a goal.  
Tomura would need allies.  
Kurogiri teleported himself up to the bar.  Allies.  He would need--  The nomu were right there, weren’t they?
They weren’t enough, though, they weren’t right.  Had Tomura ever had friends?  He must have.  Even if they were just online friends.  He mustn't have.  Sensei would never allow it.  
It troubled Kurogiri that he couldn’t remember.
He’d get some friends for Tomura.

tumblr "deep friendship advice quotes" thoughts, 10 years later:
y'know i oft go all the way back in my draft posts, where i saved some of the popular deep ~friendship advice quotes~ back in the day (well, more like copied and pasted them, so that i coud use them on fb at a later date). but maybe. hm. maybe all those "don't chase people. let people come to you" or whatever the fuck posts i saved at like 18 to 22, mostly.... and actually did post on fb at some points in time, when i was younger.... really did ruin my self-esteem and ability to make friends or date people when i was younger.
yeah. they are good quotes, don't get me wrong. but like. they're made for a slightly older audience, really. like people in their late 20s- ie like me right now actually lmao. who have a bit more self assurance (although this is the internet. so maybe not. who knows) and judgement skills. as opposed to a lonely 18-22 year old who got caught up in the memes around fuckbois and losing friends at the speed of light in their 20s.... so, then you might as well cut out all strangers anyway. bc apparently everyone is "wasting your time" if they don't come to you, and you "don't wait up for those around you" and whatever utter bullshit i've got saved there in my drafts.
i get that some of the sentiment is that "you're marching to your own drum" and shit like that, that i ALWAYS got when i was in high school.... and posts in my early 20s on fb..... when someone would do one of those dumb asf "like and i'll tell you what what i like about you" statuses in like 2016..... so people would remember that they existed. but on the other hand, trying to cut out everyone for the weird stance that they're "wasting your time" and "NEVER chase people. wait for them to come back to you. those who care will always come back. they're the real people to fuck with. they give you the real universe vibrations" or w/e the fuck.... really did make me friendless in my 20s.
the above probably made my anxiety about having barely any friends, other than my primary school besties, and a couple of high school besites from public school, that i still talked to semi regularly.... worse... all bc i was also obsessed with the "keep your circle small. they're the ones who care deeply about you and give the energy when needed" or whatever the fuck. how the fuck will i know how to keep my circle small????? when like, yeah i've kept those 5 friends... which is cool... but when they're not available (i obvs give them space lol) or they move away etc.... who the fuck else do i turn to, when i believe EVERYONE ELSE is wasting my time... all bc they NEVER talk to me????
obvs people did try to talk to me in a way, when i wished them happy birthday, or when they seldom wished me happy birthday on fb.... but i always left those conversations at that precursory "how are things? i hope you're doing well!" from them, and a like on their post. bc it'd been so long since i'd talked to those people (say some of the girls from catholic school drama class in like 2017 bc i'd run into them at uni once or twice or while they were at work once.... or even Rich Boy™️ from the same school in like 2016- i hadnt spoken to him in 3 years, and it felt weird. like what the fuck do i say??)... but since they only did that nicety of wishing me happy birthday or vice versa that one year, i never bothered inboxing them bc.... again. they're wasting my time and they're "fair weather friends" bc they don't talk to me except once every 3 years or whatever.
"CUT THEM OUT bc the universe says they're not for you. they give you the LOW VIBRATIONS in your spirit" those posts advise. like honestly. i couldn't keep up with those people from catholic school anyway. bc they're the ones who bought houses in their 20s and some of them do expensive ski trips to europe or japan or america or canada (or do our summer abroad in the peak snow season in those countries working at the snow fields); or just generally here in winter in australia. i can't afford that. one of them proposed to their partner in fucking fiji. i could NEVER afford that, if that were me. or lived abroad for a year and a half in thailand and vietnam bc of their family's charity. something, again, that i COULD NEVER AFFORD. but again. i digress. but according to these posts, i cut them out (partially) bc the universe said that they're not for me, so therefore they're a waste of my time. and that also means that i shouldn't chase them or hit them up, ever. bc what if i end up chasing them anyway???? like yeah. it HAD NOTHING TO DO with the so-called "low vibrations in spirit" that those dumb posts espouse.
not only did this make me friendless, it made me unable to learn the lessons of shitty friendships in my 20s. all bc i believed everyone was either secretly, or VERY OBVIOUSLY wasting my time.... but how was i to know that.... when i never befriended jessica or dean or bella and hayden from my uni classes?? and ok, some of it did actually come from my shitty group at uni, who couldn't fathom why i picked philosophy over history and shit like that. but the thing was, i was so desperate to have any (semblance of) friends.... that i clung to that group out of sheer mortification, terror, and anxiety. despite that, i barely ever ended up in the same classes with them.
however, the girl who fashioned herself as the leader, always seemed to tell me that "you are too highly strung for law" whenever i expressed interest in doing law 101. she would openly mock my handwriting as "looking like a 5 year old's" whenever she could (including when i signed up for her history and archaeology club ans she manned the booth for it, and told me VERY DELIBERATELY to "pLeAsE pRiNt nEatLy *insert my name here*- turning to the guy next to her- see jordan, i told you she writes like a toddler")..... like this group was VERY obviously wasting my time.
but i didnt care, just as long as i had someone to eat thai food with every once in while. as long as i could turn up to engl336 social justice in kids lit, and sit with them and have my very seldom coordinated tute with them too. all despite *alex* (not her real name) constantly speaking to me like my year 7 (2008) geography and year 9 (2010) commerce teacher from catholic school, who would do this shit in front of the 25 kids of both those classes, who i L O A T H E D (and still do to this day tbh. the same guy also fyi.). but i didn't care, as long as i could have a subway and share a cookie with her once a week. uni is hell. and we're in it..... together??? i guess???
but yeah. my point is that, observing my saved copied and pasted drafts of all those typical like "friendship advice" quotes of "don't chase people. let people come to you" or "keep your circle small. they're the ones who care deeply about you and give the energy when needed" et al.... and all the sentiments and memes about people "wasting your time", really fucked up my social skills and friend making skills in my late teens and early 20s. bc they kinda almost gave me a reason to brush off EVERY interaction with other people- be it dating to just making friends or trying to keep old friend ties around (which i didn't/couldn't really do) as "time wasting" and "low vibrations of the universe" and whatever other fucking garbage.
i think younger gen z and the generations after them, need to be wary of this advice when they're young. because it's aimed at older people. who probably have better social skills and thinking skills etc, to ACTUALLY weed out people who waste time and energy... rather than an 18 to 22 year old who is just starting out in life... who is so paranoid about being friendless and single (relationships wise).... that they, in turn, make themselves these two things anyway..... bc for some reason they're also conversely terrified that everyone is either secretly or very obviously wasting their time......
when honey. you're wasting your own goddamned motherfucking time worrying about "they give me low spiritual and universal vibrations. so snippity-snip ✂️" (when like. what the actual FUCK does this even mean, for goddamned starters???) for some fucking reason... also, "not chasing people" and having such a minute circle of friends, that like.... when EVERYTHING goes to shit (ie 2020 pandemic and ALSO my health troubles in late 2020 and 2021), and they're suddenly NOT there or CAN'T be there, who else do you have to turn to (not counting family)???? or in general, if you need to to vent about someone you know, who else do you have when you're buried so deep the mindset about "never chase people, let them come to you" and again, the spiritual vibration tribe bullshit???
these posts are made for people in their late 20s and 30s. not your late teens and early to mid 20s, when you're actually meant to learn this shit. you're wasting your time talking about "the vibrations of the universe" whatever the fuck that means. you're not manifesting any-fucking-thing. get the fuck out of the house (maybe drop the hash brownies or shrooms too, every once in a while, if that's your thing) and ACTUALLY TALK TO PEOPLE. maybe message people from old groups or something, and see if they wanna hang or get a coffee or something. don't cut SO MANY people out of your life so swiftly because the memes say "wait for your tribe and high solar plexus and third eye vibrations for your complex mercury retrograde libra in the 10th house scorpio self"... maybe learn to chase people (and then don't); so you learn from your mistakes.
don't waste away on the depths of the internet- ranging from twitter (oh wait. sorry. X) to discord groups or reddit to this here hellsite. go and experience life, instead of letting your lack of social skills rot your brain away because you, "don't cut ties" instantly bc someone is "wasting your time".... bc again it bleeds into those small talk memes asking someone's fave coffee and you haven't instantly bypassed into "deep conversations about wasted opportunities and vibes with my fave 5 high spirit tribe girlies".
because the only way you'll find those people, is by actually talking to people and teaching yourself the lesson. that, for example, ben is wasting your time bc he never follows through on shit. or he was an absolute bum in your relationship.... bc he used all your money for weed and refused to pay rent bc apparently his NFTs count as rent. that francine is an absolute cow, bc she thinks it's great that she CAN NEVER let people have their say and settle in an argument bc of *insert excuse here*.... or that she's one only person in the world that has EVER SUFFERED EVER legitimately. and this is why it's healthier to cut both of these people out of your life, if you can't reach a compromise.
anyway, my point is, instead of desperately trying to "will into existence/manifest your tribe of high spiritual people" from shrooms_and_liquor_wisdom_thoughts-xoxo-761 or "shower thoughts" or "high vibe society" and whatever dumb asf title pages/groups/chatrooms on any of these sites.... that you'll magically have this fictional tribe of "high vibe people" by ironically NEVER interacting with people and having to learn life lessons the hard way, by ACTUALLY experiencing them.... you've got to literally go out and practice this shit..
younger generations need to learn that most of these sentiment posts are for an older audience.... not a teenager or early 20 something WHO NEEDS to learn these lessons.... but they use them as an excuse not to. go learn to chase people from time to time, even if it is a bad idea. you're young enough to do that shit. you are not wasting time learning these lessons. take it form me, from someone who took them too literally and was proud that she only spoke to 5 people. now im in my late 20s.... and am nearly 30, i realise what a fucked up error this was. (also, i don't condone purposely throwing yourself into unhealthy or toxic relationships or situations, just for the sake of learning these lessons, btw.... but that's a whole other post).

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Blogpost #8 OADs 3-5 The Kids Are All Right
Tumblr media
In this story the kids compete in a field test that goes awry in more ways than one, and Rimuru meets more foreign dignitaries.
Tensura Season 1 part 2 left us with three big questions: who's the human stalker, who's the demon stalker, and most importantly are the kids going to be all right? This story arc addresses the latter two questions.
The students are now healthy, but after years of trauma followed by benign neglect no one knows if they can handle themselves in everyday situations. Also, when Rimuru is gone, will they have a supportive adult ally they can turn to in times of need? An annual field trip/exercise provides an opportunity for the kids to show they can stand on their own.
A select number of classes have to make their way to a training dungeon in a neighboring kingdom, where the first class to reach the target wins a prize. Rimuru kits them out with top quality gear, including his newest invention the DnD equivalent of a campervan; and hands them over to a sympathetic teacher to proctor.
Thanks to the campervan and their own skill and enthusiasm, Rimuru's students arrive first, impressing their proctor. Alas, the attention of their host has been occupied by his gravely ill wife, and kidnappers are hiding in the test dungeon. They try to capture the students, who easily defeat them, really impressing the proctor. But the leader turns out to be a minor demon in disguise, working on what appears to be some long-term grudge with the regional church. He knocks out the kids and is about to destroy them when the proctor sends out a desperate cry for help.
Her plea is answered by Shizue's demon buddy, who wants to pay off his debt to the dead Shizue by saving her students. He easily dispatches the minor demon, arranges a cover story, and threatens to eat the proctor if she reveals his involvement.
Later, after the others have arrived and caught up on recent events, Rimuru learns that the kidnappers stole and used a healing potion meant for the sick lady. He offers to replace it, only to find out that his host wasn't even sure it would work. His internal sprite informs him that healing potions need to be applied directly to the afflicted area, or the shock produced from a misapplied potion could prove lethal to a sickly individual. Rimuru asks to examine the lady, and with the help of his internal sprite, invents surgery to cure her, earning a ton of local brownie points to boot.
In the process we meet some people, do some light world-building, find out that Shizue's demon buddy has a sense of moral accountancy (the foundation of an understanding of morality), and most importantly take the measure of the students. It looks like they'll be able to handle themselves in most situations and they've made a sympathetic adult ally to help them should they need it.
As far as mid-century references go, we've got two this time -- campervans and internal medicine/surgery. While motorized campers and car-drawn trailers had been around since before WWII, they were built on heavier commercial truck frames. In the late 1940s Volkswagen developed lighter steel bodies for private vehicles and produced the first campervans (aka van, bus, or microbus, depending on the market) in 1950. I couldn't find a specific reference to camping in 1950s Japan, but countryside vacations have been popular in China and Japan for centuries (The classical Chinese/Japanese garden is supposed to be a miniature recreation of a favorite woodland vacation spot.) and modern Japan is known for its plentiful accomodations for campers, so it would make sense if there was an uptick in camping in the mid-century.
The other reference was to internal medicine and it's offshoot surgery. Traditionally Asian doctors considered poking around inside the human body to be far too dangerous, and with good reason. It took Western medicine 500 years of patient, gruesome, frequently unethical, and often illegal work to get the crudest idea of what was going on inside the body. Even with that knowledge, surgery only became reasonably safe and reliable in the 20th century thanks to a quartet of late 19th century inventions: anesthesia (1846), antiseptics (1867), the sterile operating room (1884), and X-ray photographs (1895).
While some Japanese physicians had begun to receive Western training as early as the 1830s, it was very expensive to travel to Europe to study it. After WWII, an American physician serving in Japan (whose name I forgot to write down and can't find now) raised money to send dozens of young Japanese doctors to study surgery in America, improving the availability of trained surgeons in Japan.
(That said, considering the strictures Rimuru's sprite gave, it seems a long-needled hypodermic would be more useful for delivering a dose of healing potion in the story than a scalpel. And neither delivery method would work against something like a small-cell cancer, especially leukemia.)
And that's all the OADs. Now I can start on Season 2!

Hetalia G8 (+ Canada, Romano, and Prussia) as Teachers (3/3)
Tumblr media
Part 1. Part 2.
~After-School Activities and Clubs~
Axis:
Italy: Art Club. The literal best time. Constant pizza days, only fun field trips to artsy museums and exhibitions, a completely relaxed vibe in the art studio, and constant joy and encouragement spouting from the instructor despite how objectively awful the artwork actually is? The students couldn’t ask for anything more. Unless they want criticism, which Italy is physically unable to do- he’ll cry before he’ll consciously and willingly put his students down like that. So most students who want to be sitting in a positive environment sign up to chat with the other members the whole time, doodle one crude stick person to pass the club participation rule check, and call it a successful day. Pasta Club. The only members are himself and his brother. It’s not going well.
Germany: Newspaper Club. Interested in keeping up with the world so much that he made a club out of it, to inspire students to do the same one day. Diligent but rewarding duties that will absolutely get hard-working and committed students into good journalism companies from Germany’s glowing references. The rest of the school warmed up to this club from the amount of respect Germany instills in his club members when scoping out stories, requesting interviews, and delivering the information accurately and objectively at the time of print.
Japan: Anime and Manga Club. Tries to keep his opinions to himself but will always cringe at really bad takes he finds as “unfortunately incorrect viewpoints” or “not properly representative of the source material.” He’s so respectable about opinions that there are no arguments or shipping wars in his club… most of the time, when Japan’s not in the room, that is. Apart from that, the club is very tranquil and pleasant but also bubbling with fascination and geekiness. Yearbook Club. His Digital Art course lead to the board assigning Japan this club. While he’s good at photography and digital mediums, he isn’t very passionate about the club as a whole, compared to the plethora of students who petitioned it in the first place.
Romano: Horticulture Club. Having a club solely dedicated to tomatoes wasn’t allowed nor wanted by the student body so this was the best he could get. He loathes his new love for flowers due to this club.
Prussia: Awesomeness Club. A part of him wants to have this club solely for himself, regardless of what the board says. But the rest of the students really like the idea of sitting in a club for getting positive reinforcement and participating in events focused on bringing their awesomeness to the rest of the world. He still has his own exclusive, awesome club he enjoys in his head- he just doesn’t tell anyone about it.
Allies:
America: Hero Club. This is the umbrella club for “volunteering because you can and why don’t you wanna help those in need, dude?” So all kinds of events are hosted by this club, on top of doing random acts of “heroism” around the school. Gaming Club. Because of his focus on appreciating both the classics and modern video and computer games, this club America hosts is very well-balanced every year. The routine travel to tourneys helps, too, and he always gets over-excited about them more than the students do. Baseball. Encourages just about everyone in the school to sign on, despite this club being purely seasonal. Always petitioning for a teacher’s baseball club and it never gains any real traction. Softball. Attempted to set up games with his students indoors. It did not go well. The activity got restricted to only open at the same time as Baseball, as per the board’s non-negotiable request. America surprised everyone with how well he balances them on top of his concurrent classes, and is solely left to be in charge of them without interference. Anything he asks, he usually gets for his sports-related expenditures. American Football. Refuses to call this after-school activity anything but “football.” No one knows if he does this on purpose or not, and it seems to be a joke only for him to know.
Britain: Book Club. While he struts like a peacock whenever the subject of reading brought up is from his country, he accepts any and all kinds of books for club discussions. Except the ones that don’t meet his list of “a proper book to enlighten and entertain intelligent individuals” requirements. Which is his very loose way of saying that he very much has standards for book discussions and tomfoolery will not be allowed nor tolerated. Many students just read what they want and never bring it up in front of Britain. Theatre Club. Really gets into making sure the actors’ performances are spot-on, and summarizes the intent of the scene quite well despite his annoyance at having to dumb it down for them when they consistently get it wrong. Regardless, there’s always something about the play for him to like on the initial showing and always gets pumped up to start working on presenting another classic to the public. Roleplay Club. Always involves an element of magic or fantasy, usually both with tabletop, board, and card games. Chess Club. Takes it way too seriously when his club gets invited to tournaments. Otherwise, his mood and the atmosphere during matches are pretty quiet and focused.
France: Cooking Club. Always jumps up to cater all events hosted by the school and further inspires creativity in making food as opposed to the corresponding course he instructs. He’ll cry and insult a dish that is completely inedible or is an insult to the art of cooking, but only in extreme cases of a student’s poor cooking. He’s pretty jovial the majority of the time.
Russia: Arts n' Crafts. Despite slipping his D.I.Y. curriculum into his Home Economics class, Russia was able to finagle the board into giving him a whole club dedicated to it. Many students enroll in this club as an extra study period for the very same class, even if they are frightened of spending more time in the same room as him. The club is surprisingly very serene and enjoyable, as Russia takes it less seriously and is less prone to becoming irritated by little things. This caused a bigger flow of student signups from word of mouth each year, and most enjoy exercising their creativity to make funky designs than just following the recommended designs.
China: Animal Awareness Club. Upset he was denied his request to start up an “I Love Pandas” club and will always be bitter that other, more ridiculous clubs got the go-ahead instead like “Mini-Heroes” and “Pasta Lovers.” Then he overheard Romano complaining to someone about his club’s members not liking tomatoes as much as he does and requesting other crops to talk about instead. China marched straight back to the board with a wealth of confidence and an impromptu outline for a club he thought of in the five minutes it took for him to get there. He now hosts a sanctuary for all animal enthusiasts in his club where they post flyers around the school and hold public discussions on environmental activism to support preserving animal livelihoods. And while he mainly puts pandas as the sole focus of his club’s efforts, he quite enjoys talking about other animals too, including species outside his culture, mainly pertaining to the endangered wild bears and big cats.
Canada: Maple Club. Pancakes are usually a staple of the topics this club has, on top of the history of tree sap. And while this is one of the more niche clubs, everyone had not anticipated just how popular it would get with the student body, and it takes up a lot of Canada’s time to manage as a result.

Sports Festival: AKA How Many Times Will Izuku Blush Chapter 1
Summary: With the future spelled out in multiple ways, Izuku now faces off in a series of battles to win the sports festival! Except you know, he's facing off against all his future lovers and they're all very interested in winning his heart. The stadium, Japan, and various others watch!
Part of the Photos/Videos Verse!!
On AO3
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
 Stepping out onto the field, Izuku tried hard not to look at Monoma too closely as the blonde smiled at him. Unfortunately, looking at Midnight didn’t help with the wink she gave him, causing Izuku’s face to go scarlet.
 “To start us off on an exciting day, we have Midoriya Izuku in one corner! The green-lean fighting machine and apparent number one in the future,” Present Mic’s voice echoed over the stadium as he spoke over the sound system, “from the hero class 1-A! And in the other corner, we have the copycat himself, the fantastic dresser and analyst extraordinaire Monoma Neito from the hero class 1-B!”
 “Now, I know you two got flirty in the future,” Midnight said, and Izuku groaned as the microphones picked that up on stage. The crowd laughed, all heavily amused by the blush Izuku sported. “But keep it clean, boys!”
 “I will, sensei,” Monoma spoke up. Izuku finally risked glancing at the boy who smiled at him. “Though it’s hard with Bunny being so cute.”
 “Wh-” Izuku squeaked out loud as Midnight cackled loudly.
 “Bunny, huh?” the woman teased even as Mic began the countdown, sounding slightly annoyed.
(“Sho, that’s our kid now being flirted with!”
 “Hizashi, relax. We saw the future. Are you getting that attached already?”
 “Like you aren’t.”)
 “Begin!” Mic shouted. Izuku launched himself at Monoma, who responded by using one of his classmate’s Quirks to create an air shield. Izuku hit it and backed off to try and find a way around it.
“So, Bunny. If I win, shall we try a date early?” Monoma asked, blowing out another wall when Izuku tried again to lunge. Izuku’s face went redder.
 The crowd loved it, cheering. Though in the personal stands, many students fumed, glaring at Monoma darkly. They muttered under their breath, and a few students shivered at the cold that Todoroki radiated.
 “Man, they’re angry,” Awase muttered to Kendo. “Monoma is gonna die.”
 “Well… possibly,” the redhead agreed. She didn’t feel much up to talking about Monoma. Vlad King and her got read the riot act for their actions so far, with Nezu acknowledging he should have done something sooner. As it was, her role as class president would be on probation, and she would need to attend anger management. Her denial of it being anger issues had Nezu change it to general therapy. She got off luckier than Bakugou, though. Anger management, therapy, and a ban on attending the summer camp held yearly unless he showed promise by finals.
 Still, seeing the future and hearing about her actions hurt. Especially since Nezu explained exactly how her actions could cause many people to reject her if they knew what she did in high school, the phrase ‘abusive colleague’ was not one she wanted to hear again. More so when she couldn’t argue with it.
 On the field, Monoma continued to flirt with Izuku, grinning and waggling his eyes brows. The squeaks, in his opinion, were adorable. He needed to hear more. The red face was cute too, and Monoma really hoped to get a date out of this.
 Class A glared down at the scene, the microphones clearly broadcasting what was being said.
 “He did not just say that,” snapped Jirou after one comment from Monoma about Izuku’s abs.
 “That is incredibly improper!” Iida said
 Izuku, for his part, just felt flustered. The future, the fact he was fighting one of the guys he could be with, the flirting- it was getting to be a lot. Plus, the fact that Monoma was attractive made him even more flustered. Being close to a hot guy who was also attracted to him, flirting every few seconds, made him nervous. This nervousness caused Izuku to trip, Monoma taking advantage to tackle him. It ended with the blonde straddling him, an arm sharpened and resting against Izuku’s neck. Warmth flooded the green-haired boy’s face as his opponent laughed, leaning down to grin directly over his face.
 “Pretty image-“ Monoma began. Izuku stared up at the attractive blonde hovering over him. His face became even warmer, and he firmly threw the other boy off, arms crackling with green energy. The blonde yelped, flying away and landing outside the boundary as Izuku buried his face into his hands.
 Midnight’s loud cackling echoed around the stadium as she stammered out that Izuku won. He did not hesitate to flee, getting up and bolting away without a word.
 “See you later, bunny!” Monoma couldn’t resist. “I’ll buy you coffee for winning!”
 Class 1A was not pleased.
 “Think we can convince Aizawa to have a class with 1B?” Ashido wondered.
 “That would be quite rude only to want one to teach him manners,” Iida said darkly. “I’ll ask tomorrow.”
 “Good,” Uraraka muttered.

 Dude, that Monoma kid is confident as hell.
Snipe my heat ❤️ @snipesfuturewife
 He sure is. Maybe MonoDoriya will fly…
Fatgum’s Biggest Fan @fatgumnoticeme
What?! No! Suneater will totally win Midoriya!
August Falke is Bae @nerdforheroics
Dude, they’re children. I’m more amused at the chaos Monoma set up. Did you see those 1A kids on the covert audience screen? It’s going to be NUTS. Those kids are maaaaad.

 The next match to occur took place between Hatsume and Ashido. Both girls were heavily annoyed at what they just saw and were eager to put on a show.
 A show indeed. Acid sprayed everywhere, machines working overtime, loud commercialized comments and the posing. By the time Hatsume knocked Ashido out of the ring, half the arena was melted.
  “This is a massacre,” Hizashi muttered to his husband as they watched Kaminari electrocute his opponent, fury painting his entire body. The blonde didn’t even go into overload. “Or it will be.”
 “I have to teach these children. I’m their homeroom teacher,” Shouta groaned. “Ugh. Where is Midoriya anyway?”
 “Hiding with Yagi, as per the text. Decided he would not risk hanging around the class right now,” Hisashi said. He quickly announced the next match, which took place in five seconds. Shinsou looked a little cocky as he strode away, eyes looking at the stadium. “Teenagers.”
 “Don’t you start. You jumped me in a closet in our second year after showing off in battle trials,” Shouta told him. Hizashi shrugged, unable to deny it.
 “Hence why I know teenagers.” Hizashi suddenly grinned. “Like how I know that Izuku is going to be a complete mess. A cute boy straddling him, about to go up against a cute inventor? He’s a mess, no doubt.”
  “Never been happier to only be into dudes.”
 “Sho, I love you, but you were just as bad,” Hizashi said. Shouta frowned, opening his mouth only to get silenced by a look from Hizashi. “Need I remind you of the Best Jeanist and All Might incidents? Or about the Fatgum one?”
 “...You should be happy my type are all blondes. Loud ones too.” Shouta muttered, as Hizashi just laughed.

Just… WOOSH! Iced.

Okay, this? This is payback for being on Dekiru’s team.

Oh, big time. You see how he went for the arms first? I re-watched a clip of the Calvary stuff. Sero totally looked smug with Dekiru on his shoulders.

Teenagers. Just… teenagers.

 The rest of the first round passed quickly. Each student gave their all and occasionally glanced up at the stands, looking a bit hopeful. This amused everyone in the stands except Shouta.
 “I am going to die.” He groaned. “This will kill me.”
 “Yeah, I know.” Hizashi chuckled. “Round two will start soon, so at least we’ll be amused again by how flustered Izuku will be.”
 “True… huh. We’re calling him Izuku already.” Shouta blinked. “Why?”
 “I asked Nezu. According to him, the Quirk causes people to sort of… develop feelings after seeing the future. Not enough, but it’s a push. Something about dopamine and serotonin, and I stopped trying to understand the texts.” Hizashi held up his cell phone. “We saw ourselves in the future as his parents. We’re somewhat affected. Obviously, we were already fond of the kid; this just pushed us over.”
 “Interesting.” Shouta mused. “Will it wear off?”
 “According to the kid with the Quirk? Sort of. For us, it already has; we’re just fond of Izuku enough that we will keep the higher care for him. The students right now exposed to their futures will be riding these emotions for a few months but will calm down over time. Though the crushes probably will stay. But they won’t be…”
 “STRIKE!” Uraraka screamed as she flung Tetsutetsu out of the ring, striking a dramatic pose. Hizashi motioned to her with a shrug.
 “As crazy?” Shouta asked.
 “Exactly.”
-0-
 Izuku almost walked out of the ring when he saw Hatsume. The girl still wore her tank top and had several inventions with her. It, however, was the grin she was giving him that made him nervous. It also didn’t help that she shouted, loudly, “PLEASE LET ME MAKE BABIES WITH YOU!”
 “Well, that’s forward!” Midnight laughed. The stadium was laughing as an annoyed voice took over the intercom.
 “She calls her inventions her babies.”
 “Power Loader?! Did you just hijack our sound?!”
 “Yes.”
 “...well then. So, the first match of the second round! It’s our lean green machine again, Midoriya Izuku!! Facing off against the pink, the smart, the creative inventor Hastume Mei!” Present Mic continued over the intercom as the stadium laughed.
 The match started, and Hatsume pulled out an invention to shoot out a net toward Izuku who dodged it. He ran towards her, hoping to grab and throw her out, but Hatsume activated her boots, sailing over him to hover a bit in the air.
 “Come on! I just wanna see your notebook!” She cried out, holding her weapon. “If it impressed Nezu and me, it’s got to be AMAZING.” She pouted at Izuku and then shot out another net. He dove away from it, landing on his front. He rolled over, though Hatsume dragged out another invention while he did so, shooting out a sticky mess. It landed where Izuku had rolled, catching the back of Izuku’s shirt. “HA! SEE! Our minds are going to be perfect together, Muscles!” Hatsume cried as she pressed a button on the gun. Instead of more sticky stuff, a rope with a hook shot out. Izuku grunted, using a bit of his Quirk to rip out of the shirt to avoid the hook. He got up, shirtless and grabbed hold of the rope. Hatsume didn’t stop him, too busy gaping at Izuku.
 In the stands, many of the students were wide-eyed; their mouths dropped open.
 “Holy shit…” Ashido said. Beside her, Sero was red, staring down at the field. Yaoyorozu covered her face, flushing as she tried not to look. Iida choked, coughing harshly.
 “Wow…” Aoyama breathed as Izuku yanked the rope, throwing Hatsume out of the field. “It… it was so easy for him…”
 Midnight declared Izuku the winner back on the field, her voice heavily amused. Izuku frowned, confused. At least until Hatsume, who’d fallen out of the air when she was tossed out of the ring, popped back up.
 “… those are BABY MAKING MUSCLES!” Hatsume yelled. Izuku froze, eyes wide as he stared at Hatsume, who stared back, mouth open. “I got you out of your shirt first!!” She cheered.
 Izuku turned and almost ran out of the field as Midnight cackled.
 “Midnight, stop taking joy in his embarrassment,” Aizawa said over the intercom as Izuku ran into the hall he’d come from. His face felt on fire as he headed to the waiting room where he’d been earlier. Extra shirts would be there.
 “Can the next competitors enter the field?” Mic called over the intercom as Izuku headed to the room. The door opened right when he reached it, revealing Shinsou. Both teens froze, staring at one another.
 “… damn.” The purple-haired teen said. Izuku’s face felt even warmer as he coughed. “You need to give me your workout schedule, babe. You’re jacked.”
 “Babe?!” Izuku squeaked. Shinsou grinned, leaning against the door slightly, one hand going up to grip the frame of it. Izuku’s face warmed more. It would be false, truthfully, to say he didn’t find Shinsou attractive. Or any of them. Even Shigaraki, in his way was attractive to Izuku. But being confronted with Shinsou right outside the waiting room made Izuku focus on him. He wouldn’t say he had a type, but perhaps it meant something that most of his potential male partners were taller than him.
 “Watch me win?” Shinsou asked, leaning forward. Izuku took a slight step back, and Shinsou just laughed, letting go of the frame to walk past Izuku. Not touching, but close enough, Izuku could swear he felt the other’s body heat.
 When Shinsou left entirely, Izuku ducked inside and slammed the door. He whined, “This is going to KILL me. Whyyyyyyyyy?!” to the empty room. He sighed before grabbing a shirt from the cupboard near the back. It would be best to get it on quickly before heading up to hide out with All Might again, watching the matches on a screen Nezu wheeled in.
 Nezu also told Izuku he had news after the festival but wanted him to focus on that first. It just caused Izuku to worry more. What was the information? His mom? The news about his unknown father? About Bakugou? What was the news?!
 Izuku pulled out a shirt and put it on, beginning to button it up when the door to the waiting room opened.
 “Oh. Midoriya,” Todoroki said, voice a little strained. Izuku jumped, face going red again.
 “Todoroki! I… Umm…” Izuku coughed. “Sorry. I needed to grab a shirt.”
 “Understandable.” Todoroki twitched, and Izuku frowned. What looked like a burnt handprint was on his shoulder.
 “Todoroki… what happened?” Izuku asked in worry, mind flashing back to the future he’d seen. Todoroki glanced at his shoulder, and a scowl crossed his face.
 “My old man wanted to talk. Snipe appeared when he grabbed me.” Todoroki shrugged, turning back to Izuku. Izuku bit his lip.
 “Todoroki… if you… if you want to talk…” Izuku trailed off a little weakly. Todoroki paused, eyes narrowing as he thought. He stepped into the room more and closed the door behind him.
 “Have you ever heard of Quirk Marriages?”

Fite Me Ho @ihavegodandanime
Disclaimer: I am 15. Also: HELLO ABS?! Wtf?! Who thought Dekiru had THOSE?!? No wonder he gets ALL the ladies and men.
Dekiru Fan Already @heroicsareforme
HELL YEAH! Man, I hope I can meet him and see if he gets hit by the Quirk again! Maybe we’ll see each other!!
Fite Me Ho @ihavegodandanime
Oh that would be so coooool!!!

Kiwi @yourdailyfruit
Wow. Poor kid.
August Falke is Bae @nerdforheroics
Dekiru?
Kiwi @yourdailyfruit
Yeah. I’ve seen seventeen comments about meeting him and then getting what’s his name- the kid who got him the first time, to hit him again with his Quirk.
August Falke is Bae @nerdforheroics
Hajime Aiko is the kid I think. And shit. Poor Dekiru, indeed.

Stain hummed, sitting with his head pointed down as he rode the train. Initially, he’d been in Hosu, tracking down the hero Ingenium. With the future revealing the attack, he’d left quietly. He’d come for the man later.
 But first, he had something more important to do.
 Dekiru was a true hero. All Might himself chose the boy. He would need to be tested, but it was obvious he would pass.
Nighteye, however… that slime didn’t deserve the title of hero. Not after what he saw. Stain grinned.
 Taking out a false hero who used his connection to All Might would be perfect.

Notes:
-Thank you to the tiktokers who posted this as it really kicked my ass and got me writing this again. I had part of this already but I just could never finish it.
-Monoma had way to much fun this fight and I was like: okay what’s weird ass shit I remember from my teen years? And decided on this.
-Before anyone comes at me since everyone has OPINIONS on how I portray characters this series: I’m not taking back how I wrote Kendo. For me, Kendo is… I don’t like the hitting joke. It’s not slapstick to me given it’s referenced outside of the moments. So… yeah. Plus let’s be real: it is an abusive action and an unneeded one. You can have Monoma’s ranting be resolved ANY other way. Maybe Kendo covering his mouth? If I was a hero and Kendo was my sidekick and I saw this? I’d be sitting her ass down to read the riot act. *shrug*
-Monoma is going to… not regret it but man he’s in for a world of pain.
-I switched the order only due to the pure bisexual panic I knew it would cause.
-also I’m having to much fun with Twitter stuff
-Aizawa and Yamada are fun, and yeah they’re affected by the Quirk to. It’s more minor for them but due to their already fond feelings it was deepened. Not ‘son’ feelings but ‘favourite student’ ones
-teenagers are dumb. No really, they’re all idiots. It’s fun writing them.

June 1st- Rice Farming and Free Day
Today was super informative, and while I didn’t think I would enjoy walking through the mud in socks for an hour, it turned out to be pretty fun. My day started off early with another quiz. I had done the readings the night before, but it was still a jump scare because we had to be on the bus by 8am. I had to skip breakfast again to take it. Once we were on the bus, Nico entertained us with some improv stand-up for the better half of an hour. He killed it, and I’m sure he’s the most extroverted person that I’ve ever met. The rice fields were beautiful too, I didn’t expect there to be so many flowers around. Once we made it to the fields, I was pretty nervous about steeping bare socks in mud, but it ended up feelings kinda nice. In the end, I feel like I planted a good half of a row. I’m sure it will be uprooted immediate yo the done correctly but the sentiment was definitely there. Unfortunately, we ran out of rice plants faster than expected, so we had a good hour and a half to kill before we could take the bus back. I hung out with Sam, Aulora, Nico, Raj, and Vishnu for most of it. We played one game of hide and seek before realizing that was a really stupid idea. It was at this point that my head started to really hurt, and I could feel myself getting tired again. Once we got back on the bus, I could’ve immediately fallen asleep, but I tried to push through. I got home and showered before taking the train (by myself!!!!!) to Shibuya! I was so impressed with myself, and I finally felt like I was in a big city. I met up with some family for drinks there and it was very cute. I was debating staying out in Shibuya until some other classmates got there for dinner at 6, but my head was hurting so badly that I was starting to see black on the side of my vision. On the train home, I got a little misty eyed thinking about how I’m really here. It doesn’t seem real at all. I really appreciated the alone time on the train. This euphoria didn’t last too long though, because as soon as I got home, I knocked out. I woke up about 4 hours later with my head still pounding. I’ll probably run and get Advil when I finish this post. Anyways, that was my day! I’m excited for my free day tomorrow.
Academic Reflection-
There were multiple times today when I noticed similarities between the readings and our activity. I have a personal interest in agriculture because I’m doing research on the effects of pesticides in Florida’s agricultural hub, particularly related to birth defects. In the second reading by Jones and Kimura, they briefly mentioned the small-farm pesticide issue that Japan’s industry faces. I am also very interested in policy, so that entire reading was very prevalent to me. The first correlation I found today was when we got off the bus to see full-on suburbia. In Florida, there is no way you would ever find a tomato farm surrounded by hundreds of houses and apartments. The readings mentioned that Japan has hundreds of these tiny farms that consist of part-time workers, but I didn’t understand how small these areas were until I was there. I could see the issue in lack of industrial tools on such small farms (even though I know that this specific rice field we went to was for visitors and educational services).
The second correlation I found with the readings was in the working population. While there were many school children visiting for field trips, the actual farmers were super old! The man who brought a wheelbarrow of plants for us to sow was at least 70, which is absolutely insane. I could not imagine my grandfather even lifting a wheelbarrow, much less planting rice for hours a day. I could understand why the sons of these family farms decide to leave for the city, but the effect that has on the working class is very unique to Japan. In my research on Florida, the average age of migrant workers is about 40. The fact that the majority of Japanese farmers are over 70 is insane.
