#did i spend an hour on this instead of homework??? yuh and what about it 🥲🥲

hehe as you wish @lilybitten 😌 you unleashed the shiganatsu beast. the beast lives inside of me and it survives off of monster energy and 2 hours off sleep (it’s just shigaraki in a wig?) here is my (vv long) elaboration on why shiganatsu is tHE superior ship (in regards to the fanfic potential especially because i am a writer):

imagine this: both shiggy and natsuo meet online over gaming. shiggy already loves gaming and i can imagine natsuo getting into gaming as a thing to help him relax and come down after a stressful day (with medical school and the family drama he really needs sth of that form). so they meet online over gaming and they become gaming buddies rather quickly without knowing who the other person is.

of course it’s common to have friends you meet online and you refer to by their gamertag only but they also both have reasons as to why they are hiding their real identity from each other. shigaraki, obviously, being a criminal and the most wanted man in all of japan, doesn’t want to give the police a chance to track him down or scare his new friend away. and natsuo a) doesn’t want to be associated with his trash ass father (understandably) and b) doesn’t want people to see him as the ‘son of the number one hero’ but instead see him for him and get to know him for him. so they both have valid reasons to try to keep who they are from each other! which is the perfect basis for some drama.

they don’t know who they are so they can become friends without their names/identity and the association with those being in the way. they probably share some similar views on hero society (shiggy hating it and natsuo probably having some mixed feelings considering what went on inside his house and how none of the other heroes ever noticed anything and possibly turning a blind eye which i could imagine makes him feel a little less friendly and more sceptical towards pro-heroes), shiggy dislikes endeavor and natsuo obviously agrees and natsuo wants to go into medicine so he probably cares about people, especially those who are in need of help and support which shiggy obviously likes. those are all things they could easily bond over. <33

now, they are friends and enjoy talking to each other. and over time they start developing feelings for each other because the other person likes them for them and don’t have any of the expectations others in their life have for them and that’s just so sweet. they both are a kind of escape to each other from their daily life and responsibilities. also they probably share a few personal details about their past that they don’t feel like they could tell anyone else because at the end of the day they don’t really know each other in person and it’s easier being deep and personal with a person who is only an avatar and a voice. less pressure.

they fall in love yay and tHEN THEY FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE. it’s probably through an accident. natsuo accidentally drops his brothers name (shouto, who shiggy obviously knows) and/or toga/dabi walk into shiggy’s room and don’t notice he is on voice dropping some lov related info to him. it doesn’t really matter but they both find out who the other person is and it’s a hUGE DRAMA. because natsuo is like “that’s a villain??? i have been talking to a villain for months?? it’s fucking shigaraki too and i?? i have a crush on the most wanted man in japan?!?!?” and shiggy is like “i am attracted to endEAVOR’S SON WTF” both valid reactions. 😌😌

see this has them both in a pickle. because if they’d known from the very beginning who they are they would have never started talking, much less become friends and develop feelings, but now that they actually care about each other it’s much more difficult to just cut each other out. natsuo especially struggles because shigaraki IS a criminal (and a murderer oops) and getting involved with him would also be kind of illegal 🙄. but shigaraki isn’t just shigaraki anymore. he is his gamer buddy, they shared imitate details about their life, they talked to each other almost every day for weeks and they always were there for each other when one of them wanted to vent about their day or needed comfort. there are emotions involved and shigaraki also isn’t as evil as the news makes him out. he has some valid points and critique and he mostly sounds frustrated with how things are now and wants them to change. his execution is lacking for sure but natsuo ends up giving him a chance. (maybe they do need a push, maybe the league needs a medic asap and natsuo is the only one shiggy can think of and natsuo can’t find it in himself to refuse someone in need help).

now this is where shit gets actually good because natsuo gets officially involved with the league and who is part of the league? dABI!! and eventually dabi will find out they are dating :)))) like obviously the two of them try to keep it a secret because shiggy IS a villain and natsuo IS the son of the number one but it will come out and dabi wILL be pissed. because HIS LITTLE BROTHER is dating hIS BOSS who is also the lEADER of the lov!! (we assume in this scenario dabi actually cares about the brother he went to cry to every night when he was a child and ignore canon 😐😐) . then natsuo will find out touya is still alive!!! (todoroki drama <3) but the most amazing part about this all?? shigaraki will find out that dabi is also a todoroki! so his boyfriend turned out to be a todoroki and the guy in his little villain club is aLSO a todoroki???

(at some point he probably sits the league down all distressed and is like “does anyone here wants to tell me sth??? if any of you are also related to endeavour tELL ME RIGHT NOW!!” he is going through it for a little bit here lmao)

i also like the idea of natsuo and dabi bonding over being family disappointments to their father. since one of them is a villain and the other one is dating a villain (also if you like rumi/fuyumi it would be even funnier because on the other side we’d have shouto who is a pro-hero to be, and fuyumi who would be dating a pro!! a kid of each kind sknrfksjne) and i just think they’d be giggling and kicking their feet over how endeavour would react to that lmaoo

and that is why i am a sucker for shigaraki x natsuo and i think they’re kind of cute. i rest my case :)))
