No cause I could talk forever about Tomura and Izuku's dynamic with each other...
Them first meeting at USJ. Izuku wondering wtf is up with this guy, and regarding Kurogiri as more dangerous at the time. Tomura wondering wth was up with this kid, but also noting how fast he was, how he said Smash like All Might did
Tomura's obsession over Izuku being someone who lost a fight in order to save his opponent's heart. Printing a photo of Izuku out, staring at it, trying to figure out why he pisses him off so much (it's because Izuku is not like the other heroes). The Mall Scene being Tomura holding Izuku hostage just to vent about Stain, meeting by chance being "fate or destiny". Izuku actually being honest instead of saying something else that maybe could have freed him (the guts on this kid I swear)
Izuku remembering what Tomura said about "smiling wide as if to say there's no one he can't save", remembering it because Kouta started hating society, and in the next scene relating Kouta's anger to his own struggles with quirklessness, effectively tying all 3 of them together with the connection being the struggle with rejection and pain society gave them
The Mall Scene being the very first instance where Tomura was triggered by memories of his past, something that was so blurry to him until that point, and then the memories fully coming back in MVA. Tomura thinking almost the exact same thing Izuku thought when he was a kid ("What I really wanted/needed you to say was...") which draws them together again
The back and forth between the both of them in the war arc. "I'll send you to heaven!" and why tf did he say heaven instead of hell. The LOOK shown between each of them when AFO possessed Tomura. And of course "I'll never forgive you!" "And I won't forgive anyone."
Izuku going to the void and seeing Tomura being choked and strangled and struggling to move and then seeing Tenko crying in his garden and the LOOK he gave Tomura when he saw that. The way Tomura said it's his body, it's his dream, to AFO but looked directly at Izuku when he said it. Izuku "raging for the sake of others", the concerned expression on his face and then leaping to push back against AFO's will, leaping towards Tomura to do SOMETHING
Afterwards, when Izuku watched Tomura fall and thought "Please don't get back up", not just because of the amount of destruction Tomura could cause now that Izuku couldn't move anymore, but maybe also because he saw that Tomura was hurting and in pain and he saw Tenko crying and maybe he wished not to cause him anymore harm if he could help it
Izuku trying to catch up to the Noumus and TomurAFO, yelling at AFO to shut up, falling from the Noumus and holding his hand out as if to reach for Tomura but failing to do so. The panel looking as if Tomura was also holding his hand out to reach for Izuku, though it's probably not what was meant
"You looked like someone who needed saving" tying back to Bakugou's sludge incident, to Izuku running in to save someone who bullied him, to Izuku who is the same person who would lose a fight just to save his opponent's heart, to Izuku who has always been like this, and the text itself being shown over a panel of utter destruction in the city and the area, yet Izuku refuses to let Tomura just drown in pain
Tomura crying out for help deep down from the beginning of the story and then saying he doesn't care anymore, that the heroes can't understand anyway, and basically resolving to just destroy everything for real. Ironically, Izuku at the end of this arc realizing that Tomura needs help, listening to him and resolving to save him as TomurAFO flies away
Izuku putting his foot down in the void and telling the vestiges he wants to save that crying child. He wants to save him, even if the future is uncertain, even if it comes down to it and he has to kill Tomura (and he doesn't know what he'll do if that time comes), he still wants to TRY. Gran Torino gifting his cape because it will remind him that "killing is a way of saving too" and Izuku giving him that look like he doesn't want to say anything to refute the gesture of being given a gift from his mentor's mentor, especially on what could have been his death bed, but also like he doesn't like the idea of killing to save when it hasn't gotten to a point of no return yet
Izuku being no thoughts head empty about Tomura the entire Rogue Arc. Once again thinking about Kouta with Tomura because of the way that Kouta, who was so angry and the world and society, was able to come back from that and be saved. How Izuku previously unintentionally tied all 3 of them together, and how now he implies that if Kouta can be saved, so could Tomura
When Izuku fought Lady Nagant and admitted that, yeah, maybe he was ignorant before but now he knows that it's all a lot more complicated, that the world isn't as black and white as society made them think, it's actually more grey and "a blend of anxiety and anger", and that's why he has to reach out and help people even more, and how he was thinking about Tomura in the war arc crying out for someone to hear him
Tomura's head being so scrambled during the S&S battle because of AFO's possession to the point that he's not even sure who he is. But all the same, S&S tells them "someone with a will of heroism will take you down" and Tomura immediately thinks of Izuku. Despite how he told everyone he didn't care if they understood anymore, it's not the truth. He still wants to be saved, he still wants someone to care and help, and the first person he thinks of in relation to that is Izuku
Tomura's eyes lighting up in the final war arc UA battle when Izuku finally appears. Tenko trying to reach out and run away from AFO and being pulled back. Izuku asking first and foremost if Tomura is still in there, and then the confirmation that he is
Izuku punching a hole through Tomura's body, this being the thing that allows Tomura to shed his skin and regain control of his body. Tomura just kind of smiling at him and saying "What would you want to do if I told you I'm here? Sit down for a chat at the mall? Not happening, hero. After all, I AM your villain.", the recognition of the mention of the mall being confirmation that this is Tomura's personality and therefore he isn't gone
Izuku pushing him off floating UA so he doesn't decay it and everyone else on there, Tomura saying the only thing that will save him is destroying everything that has to do with that house, "That will be my only salvation, hero" (Izuku remembering this later on) and Izuku responding "I can't let you do that but I won't pretend I didn't see you crying"
The constant single pages every other chapter or so of these two fighting. Tomura watching Izuku's reaction to All Might's "death" instead of watching himself. That little moment of "You know Bakugou won't make it in time, right? It's all over" as they both watch Bakugou fly through the air, then the shock when he saves him
Making it to Mount Fuji. Tomura so desperate to make it clear that he's the villain, he's the one who is too far gone, to leave him alone because he doesn't need saving it's too late for that, and Izuku putting his foot down AGAIN and telling Tomura unabashedly "You are human."
Izuku using Black Whip inside his body to move because he can't anymore and Tomura saying "Looking at you, I'd never guess you were a hero", a parallel to when someone said that about Izuku in the Rogue arc
Tomura thinking about how any normal person would have prioritized their life over someone else's, how Izuku isn't normal, like he's entirely different from every other hero in Tomura's view who just wants to take him down and ignore his cries. This being the thing that attracted him to Izuku because Izuku is the kind of person who will take others even his opponent into consideration, and scratching at his neck after ages of not doing so. The battle is stressing him out and Izuku is hitting him where it hurts, this being evidenced again when Tomura proceeds to frown throughout the next scene because, again, Izuku is doing everything in his power to get an advantage just to help him
Tomura decaying Gran Torino's cape, as worn as it was, and this showing that the "killing to save" ideology simply doesn't apply anymore, not with how determined Izuku is to save him now more than ever
And now they are watching each other's memories... how they view the other from each other's pov's... delving into backstories and trauma...
Literally they have so much going on, so much symbolism and meaning in their interactions and how they see each other, and they've only interacted canonically 3 times throughout the story. That's not even to mention the stuff outside the story
Like volume 25's obi sketch and both of them being on the front cover AND back cover. The 306 double spread with AFO in Izuku's TV and All Might in Tomura's and Tomura looking at Izuku. The volume cover 15 25 35 pattern with Izuku on volume 15, Tomura on volume 25 and then both of them being on volume 35 (the implication that not only did Hori like the wsj version of that cover so much that he put it on this one, but also that there was no appearance of Izuku or Tomura in this vol35, suggesting that the only reason they are on the cover in the first place specifically is because it completes the pattern). Both of them appearing on volume covers at least 4 times that I can remembers (volume 3, volume 23, volume 10 and volume 35). And then there's the official art and sketches, like the jump festa sketches and that one sketch where Tomura and Izuku cosplay horror characters and show up to 1a filming studio ghibli my neighbor totoro, more like gatecrash with the way Bakugou yells to cut the scene
What the fuck. What the FUCK. I can't handle them *collapses*

Tumblr media
Breathy moans against your ear. Whines about how good it feels and to stop but don't stop. Keep going. To be swatted on your ass until it's strawberry red. To choke on a cock like you never have before. Someone looking at you with stars in their eyes and offering silent thank you's for doing this. To be shoved against a wall so hard that the breath gets knocked from your lungs and is replenished by the person who's kissing you after your lips have found each other's.
Tumblr media
To hear "Oh my God's" and "Fuck" and "Take that cock". To have your back scratched when they're whispering into your neck how badly they want you. A cock being slapped against your reddened ass when they have you bent over the bed and they're forcing you to tell them how badly you want to be stuffed and overflowing with their cum and your own running down your thighs.
Tumblr media
To ride their lap until you can't close your legs when you finally fall over onto the bed, sweaty and spent. To have them climb back on top of you and tell you to watch as they disappear into your body.
Tumblr media
To hear the wet fucking sounds that you're making with every slappy shift of your bodies. To be spoken to so filthy that your cunt spasms around them until they're saying they're sorry for talking to you like that because they simply cannot take another squeeze like the one you just gave them.
Tumblr media
To have the sweat licked from the small of your back and that same tongue run up the full length of your curled up torso until they're shoving it back into your mouth. To be told to count the thrusts until you both cum at the same time.
Tumblr media
To cry a little because it feels so goddamn good and then laugh about how stupid you were for crying when you were actually so happy when you're feeding each other birthday cake ice cream from the pint with spoons that have "You have just been poisoned" engraved on them.

MHA Characters Comforting You
This is completely self-indulgent as I am going through it right now :)
These characters try to distract you. they put on a show, play your favorite game with you, or even just try to talk about anything else other than what's bothering you right now. But when they realize that their actions aren't working, they sit down with you and they listen. they nod along and ask important questions, and at the end of the day, they wrap you up in a warm, fuzzy blanket. They lay with you and let you cry it out until you either feel better, or you fall asleep. Giving you a soft kiss on your forehead, whispering promises of safety the entire time.
Present Mic, Gang Orca, Mr. Compress, Kaumi Woods, Manual, Fourth Kind, Ms. Joke, Snipe, All Might, twice,
These characters don't know how to comfort you. They were never the person people go to for comfort, so when you go to ask upset they freeze. They give awkward hugs and listen, but they are interally screaming at themselves. You are their partner and they want to do more! So they give you as much affection and love as they can, hugs, gentle kisses, cooking meals , buying you random small things that remind them of you. They do whatever is within their power to make tings better.
stain, Lady Nagant, Hawks, Mirko, Mt. Lady, Tiger, Eraser Head, Rock Lock, Shigaraki, Dabi, Vlad King, Sir Nighteye, Spinner, Chronostasis
These characters know exactly what to do. The minute they hear that you're upset, they're dropping everything and going to you. On the way to you, they head to the store and grab all your comfort foods (candy, chips, drinks, etc.) They make sure to heat up some blankets in the dryer and while the blankets are warming up, they make you a cup of tea. They sit down with you, wrap you in the blanket and listen to you. Ig you need advise, they give the BEST advise. If you need to listen and be heard, they are listening and even sometimes agreeing with you. These characters know how to comfort and they constantly assure you that your feelings are valid.
Best Jeanist, Edge Shot, Ryukyu, Fatgum, Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, Gran Torino, Thirteen, Midnight, Ingenium, Nana Shimura, Gentle Criminal, Kurogiri, Magne, Mr. Compress
Plus any other character that you can imagine! (Also, i didn't include any characters that are a minor within the series because I haven't decided on if I want to write for them.)

MHA Ch. 403 leak reactions
Babymight!!! And oh my god he’s reading manga with his MOM. This guy and the maternal figures in his life!!!! Also, another character reading comics, hmmm…
All Might is paralyzed by AFO using Stain’s quirk. Turns out the gauntlet didn’t explode. (Happens to all of us babe.) Gentle tries to help but AFO disrupts floating UA so he has to hold up UA again. Star’s bros try too but AFO outmatches them.
The world is watching. People are starting to feel hopeless. Oh hey, we even get Gran Torino in the hospital crying. Who will help All Might?
Yeah, it’s Bakugo.
I’m happy we get to see Bakugo alive, and glad he finally gets his save, but it also feels like the most predictable possible result.
We also have to wait to understand why Bakugo did what he did in 362 (it wasn’t to save All Might) and to learn more about what’s going on with Aura Might.
I’m amused by the thought of Bakugo sending explosions towards All Might thinking “WTF old man???” At the same time, All Might sees Bakugo bloodied and frantically waving around a…card???? “WTF kid???”

opinion on how deku is being thrown into shigaraki’s memories ?
I've said it before, but to sum it up: Lazy writing. Instead of making Deku work or even talk to discover what happened, it's being handed to him.
Also backing what @itsnothingofinterest said in this post:
I worry this could go beyond just “viewing” memories. It’s also possible Deku could start influencing Shigaraki’s recollection of events to make him more agreeable (for example, I saw someone suggest this could end with Deku saving Tenko from under the bridge instead of AFO) and I wouldn’t be a fan of that. Didn’t like when 2 out of 3 of our last League conflicts relied on mentally impairing them & I wouldn’t like it any more if it was how Deku resolved the conflict here.
But fine, whatever. He'll see the memories. He'll learn Shigaraki's damage. It's what he wanted; it's what he needs.
Thanks for the ask!
I call this lazy writing because
What we should’ve had was Deku and the UA students having to work and investigate and just talk and truly come to understand the Villains and why they are the way they are, the root causes and the bad days where they received no helped and all the tiny things that built up and led to the breaking point.
For Deku specifically, we spent all of Edgy Deku arc literally doing fuck all about ‘learn what makes Shigaraki tick deep down’ (Chapter 308), which is such a waste of an opportunity to explore—anything at all. Being cold and hungry and tired and alone, being feared and rumored to be a monster - would that make Deku reflect on a villain’s circumstances? lmao. Did he confront All Might and Gran Torino about the Shimura family, which might offer a clue? lmao. Did he request to talk to Mr. Compress, League Member and Shigaraki's Ally? lmao. The story skips over anything that might mean real effort to learn about Shigaraki, or would cause reflection.
What are we left with for Deku to discover why Shigaraki seems to be in pain? Forcing a Memory Transfer. Practically the only option left.
I know people will argue that that’s just how OFA/AFO works, it has always been hinted at, it's a good thing that Deku will finally understand what Shigaraki has been through. But it feels so unearned. He wants to save Shigaraki, he wants to learn about Shigaraki -> he doesn't do any work that contributes to this, instead he happens upon it via surprise psychic link.
If I was being generous, I might allow that he’s being rewarded on having faith in Shigaraki’s inner goodness… but that also isn't working because his faith has never been seriously challenged, unless you count Nana and Gran Torino giving their one (1) doomerism line and Shigaraki provoking him. There was Bakugou's 'death' that ShigAFO caused... but Mirio was able to immediately calm Deku down and then Bakugou came back alive before Deku began trying to pry open the lid so. net zero loss/gain there.
(I also feel like, if the memories should be handed to him like this, it should've been done earlier, and turned into an extra burden of a different sort? Deku's got all these memories, this sympathy—but everyone around him tells him, so what? Shigaraki has suffered, but so have other people. He has suffered, but now he creates suffering. His memories are irrelevant to the fact that he needs to be defeated; his memories will be useful in rebuilding society after the war, but Shigaraki himself is beyond saving. And Deku should've had to reckon with that.)
And if it's not lazy writing—
Shigaraki said those words about "the destruction of everything stemming from that house" in Chapter 379. It is now 416. The Shigaraki-Deku fight doesn't start properly until 410, fine—but through the past six chapters, Deku literally had to be psychically-physically in front of the damn house in order to reflect on Shigaraki's words.
This is because Deku refuses to talk and have a proper conversation with Shigaraki. Ever since the end of Jaku, Deku gets one glimpse of the Crying Child and knows Something Is Wrong, but because Shigaraki declines to just explain the rest of it to him, Deku doesn't ask.
(If you look at his previous 'saves', we can see no wonder - Deku gets the tragic backstories told to him. Todoroki straight up just reveals his family’s dark secret. Mandalay was able to explain what Kouta’s issue was, literally telling Deku ‘he’s not being raised normally, he’s an orphan with dead hero parents’. The full extent of Eri’s abuse is revealed via official Hero investigation and deductions about Overhaul’s operations - which I like best because it flowed more naturally, with the horror element dawning on the characters. Deku learns not from Hawks about the crimes of the HPSC, it's only because Nagant herself exposed it to him. The Aoyama reveal is largely by Hagakure/accident/carelessness on his parents’ part.
I think Gentle is the only guy he sympathize with without knowing the full extent of his backstory?)
Does Deku, now unable to "ignore what he saw," ask Shigaraki "Hey, what do you mean by 'that house'?" Does he actually ask out loud, "Shigaraki! Why can't you let go of that lonely past?" Does he ever go, "Hey, I saw you and you were so sad. Why? And what happened to that dog?"
No. Deku makes statements about saving Shigaraki, about wanting to save that Crying Child, about how Shigaraki is a person, but all those are cool one-liners, and they feel barely even directed at Shigaraki himself.
Remember how in Chapter 360, Mirio asks ShigAFO why he destroys, and he gets an answer? Remember how Mirio engaged with ShigAFO, and that led to Tenko surfacing to angrily retort he does have friends? Asking questions has proven to have an effect!
And you can't say "Shigaraki is refusing to open up," when Shigaraki has been so chatty. You also can't just dismiss this by theoretically saying "Shigaraki would never open up, it's pointless to try, it's a guaranteed failure," when Deku literally hasn't tried, cross it off the list before moving on. Deku is just not engaging with the guy in front of him, but rather just looking for the Crying Child, and at best that's him being the world's most incurious guy, and at worst being a condescending ass.

Hello, for the ask game
Gran torino poses as a senile old man in anyone to find the thief using the server
Thanks!
1 - Gran Torino pretends to be a senile old man who needs help to get home. The first time, Dabi is the one to arrive, but after the old man eviscerates his fashion sense, he gives that duty to Hawks. After Gran Torino makes Hawks cry and demand vacations for the first time he is 5 (he gets an entire year), Izuku is the one who goes to help that poor old man who is so uncoordinated that sometimes, he almost hit people with his cane.
2 - Izuku wears an All Might hoodie, an All Might cap and an All Might themed surgical mask during this kind of mission. Add to that the white hair, Gran Torino isn't sure if this is really the kid he is looking for. So they spent time together.
3 - Every time, Yami shows a limitless amount of patience. He adores hearing stories about heroes and comes to learn about Nana through what Gran Torino tells him. He also strongly suggest Gran Torino to go to seniors meeting or to pick a hobby or even to get a pet because he seems lonely. That earns Izuku a good cane whack.
4 - Gran Torino is the first one to realize that Yami isn't just part of Anyone: he runs the entire organization. As for Izuku, he guessed pretty quickly that Gran Torino was faking the dementia but he assumed that it was because he felt lonely. In any case, Gran Torino confirms that Yami is indeed the Thief and the Mighty team tries to catch him. Izuku is rescued by All for One, something he will never let him forget.
5 - Two months later, Izuku drops a puppy on Gran Torino's doorsteps. There is a letter next to the giant hellhound, explaining how Yami would love to take care of him but his current situation is complicated. He knows he will be happy with Gran Torino. He suggest Jack Might for the name.

So uh, I have some concerns about this one line from the latest chapter I'd like to get off my chest.
Tumblr media
While I'm sure there are more favourable or charitable reads of "I thought for sure that smashing Tenko's spirit would break them both" you could possibly make, a face value read really has me asking: Deku, what the hell do you mean by that? Did you mean to actually break Tomura's soul and leave him in the same unresponsive 'gone' state he left AFO in?
Because as much as I disapproved of invading Tomura's mind and understood why he fought against it, I did think it was just a 'forcefully break down his emotional walls to make him open up' thing. I thought when Nana and the other vestiges kept talking about attacking his core as a weak point, they were just being stubborn and still were a page behind Deku's plan to save him. But if Deku really did mean this whole ordeal as an attack to harm Tomura; well that's pretty disappointing to put lightly.
What happened to saving the crying child? What was the point of insisting on his humanity? Of refusing to just charge up a big punch and kill him? Was all this really just another, more tasteful way to put down the big bad the whole time? What, did he feel the need to end Tenko's sadness before smashing his spirit to feel like he got saved before the end? Oh God dammit don't tell me Deku's been following Gran Torino's advise this whole time!
Tumblr media
Man I hope not.
But you know, sad to say a part of me always did consider in the back of my mind the chance Deku might’ve taken Gran Torino’s words about killing being a form of saving to heart. Never a big part, never a big chance before this chapter; Gran Torino’s crazy for thinking murder would somehow save Tomura and obviously Deku would never go for that, right?…but I don't recall he's ever has opposed or openly disagreed with his teachers (even at the times when he really should, we all remember him praising Endeavor to Touya's face) nor has he ever openly opposed anyone else's plans to kill Tomura in this arc; so there was always that 1% chance, you know?
But now, while yes favourable reads on that "smashing Tenko's spirits to break him" line are possible as I said, ...that chance might’ve jumped up to the double digits in my mind.

Dont know if youre still doing the AU asks but if you are, 5 HC for an AU where Eri, running away from Overhaul, runs into Gran torino and while panicking rewinds him back to his prime.
1- Eri runs, and runs, and hits someone who swears and grabs and she squeezes her eyes tight as light rushes out of her and hands go away. She curls up on the ground, sobbing, and when new gloved hands grab her without a word she does nothing, just hides her face and hopes Chisaki will go back home slowly enough to give her a break before punishing her.
2- Sorahiko got knocked over by a wrecking ball of a kid, fails to bite off his reaction as he gets up and reaches out to help her up. But then she's glowing and his whole body is in agony. Sorahiko's heart isn't soft enough to keep holding on, and he jets back, dropping the kid. By the time he's on the other end of the street, holding on to the building, he's taller than he was a second ago. He holds his breath, but the glow fades and doesn't affect him more when he's out of range. He waits a second, then goes back and scoops up the kid, who doesn't move. Worn out, probably, and the bandages aren't a good sign. Well, he was on his way to Nighteye's office, so he just keeps heading there.
3- Why is he on the way to talk to Sir? Because it's the only reason I can think of to have him be hours away from his home in that area where Eri is. So let's say Gran is there to update him on the fact that AfO is probably definitely back after the Hosu nomu attack. Gran brings Eri in, and that's about the moment that Eri realizes she is not being carried home by Chisaki. She looks up when she's put on a chair and Gran calls for Sir, ignoring the sidekicks at their desk. Sir comes down but stops on the stairs, staring at Gran with a dropped jaw, trying to figure out why someone would dress up as a young, tall, handsome, in his prime Gran Torino. And also why there's a crying child there. Gran snaps that it is very much him, he got hit with a quirk, and would Sir like to do something useful, please?
4- Sir apologizes to Eri for Torino's bad manners, and asks her what's wrong. She mentions Chisaki's name, something he knows as a connection to the Yakuza but not much more, and then explains the bandages when asked. It's a pretty clear, terrible case of abuse, and as he used his quirk, they're allowed to step in instead of handing it back to the police. Eri is terrified that Chisaki will find and attack them for taking her, but Gran says he didn't lose his brains with his wrinkles- he knows how to notice if he was being followed, and he was too quick for a tail. Then he asks how long her quirk lasts for, and she starts crying again because she hates it and can't undo it. For a moment, Gran and Sir share a look. A "we're terrible people for thinking about this" look, a "but, if she can rewind people..." look, a "Toshinori..." look. Then Sir looks down and shakes his head. Obviously it won't work, or All Might will refuse, because otherwise Sir have seen the difference in that vision of his death. Gran lets it go because he doesn't want to think about the vision either, he's still not happy Sir looked without permission even if he also wishes Toshi were enjoying retirement by now.
5- well, that's almost true. Gran changes the topic and says "Well, since we know Toshinori won't actually die of a heart attack on seeing me like this, why don't I go over there to show him in person?" Sir puts his head in his hands, but can't think of a way to stop him. Gran holds out his hand to Eri, says UA will be a safe place to wait, Nedzu will let her while Sir takes care of the paperwork on her case, and she can come see All Might. Eri blinks up as she takes his hand and asks who All Might is. Sir collapses to the ground, but Gran just laughs, and tells her stories on the way there.
+1 Toshi didn't have a heart attack but he did faint. Izuku was very close to it, eyes nearly popping out of his head before he looked around for the real Gran Torino since this is clearly another obvious prank.

What Present Mic said to Shiragiri in this chapter bothered me, and I know it's best to wait until the full translation but I doubt the translation is going to make it sound better I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same thing still. I'm tired of the villians being dehumanized.
It's good that it bothers you, because it's supposed to.
Mic was never the one who was going to be super tied to ShiraGiri's influence on the battlefield. That was always, always Aizawa.
Mic is barely a character. I mean he's been there from the beginning, but beyond knowing his attachment to Shirakumo and Aizawa, he doesn't have much to him. So it wouldn't have made sense for him to have an open mind.
Not to mention, I feel like people forget this actually, look at the difference in his and Aizawa's reactions to Aoyama:
Tumblr media
Mic has a slightly averse reaction to Aizawa saying he "feels the same as the kids" (foreshadowing much?). And then:
Tumblr media
Mic says this, meanwhile Aizawa:

I mean, imo Mic hasn't earned the "suddenly an open minded old gen hero ready to change the status quo" role in the story. I expect him to ultimately side with Aizawa and the kids in the end, but only because that story calls for it and not because his character was necessarily built up to it.
That talk Aizawa had with Aoyama is so obviously meant to be repeated later...to someone else.
"I feel the same as the kids". Blatant foreshadowing for Aizawa. Not to mention him thinking about Kurogiri RIGHT then and there when he is saying those things. It's almost like he knows this speech might apply to more than just Aoyama, at some point, somehow.
Look at all the adult characters who have relevance and impact on the plot: All Might, Endeavor, Aizawa, and Gran Torino. Out of those characters, the only one who has the same type of arc as the kids who will save the villains is Aizawa. ShiraGiri is his villain. It's pretty much the exact same type of set up.
He has to reconcile the current version of his villain with who they used to be. Midoriya sees the crying kid inside Shigaraki, so the next step is tying that kid to the person Shigaraki turned into, and helping those two parts of him reconcile--thus he is saved. Shouto knows Touya is his brother, and by god he is TRYING to view him as Touya, but he keeps treating him as Dabi. He's trying. Toga, same story. She was a normal teenager like Ochacko, experiences the same feelings as her. Ochacko has to accept Toga for who she is now by acknowledging who she used to be.
Aizawa---it's exactly the same. Accept ShiraGiri for who he is. Someone different, but still the person he knew in his childhood nonetheless.
Mic doesn't have that ingrained into his arc. He's kinda just there, and he's presenting the opposing ideals that are set up to eventually be shut down later. He sounds like Gran Torino--"death is better". We as readers know BNHA doesn't believe that. So his beliefs will be shut down later.

I saw some people doing this, so I wanted to join too! (but here, tumblr seems to me to be a network where there is less chance of being attacked for my personal tastes… I hope I'm not wrong).
I would like to explain the positions a little:
TOGA AND HER GF: ... They are just my favorites.
The Goats: Basically, they are my favorites, ignoring Toga and Ochako. The characters that I included here are those that I think have good character development, a good story, or in the case of characters like Mirko or Gran Torino especially: They seem TOO COOL pro-heroes to me, in all aspects. I think it was obvious that the main characters were going to be here.
I enjoy them and i would like to know more: These are characters that I like to watch and I tend to think a lot about them, however, they don't make it into Goats because I still feel like they have the potential for a lot more or are developing more slowly. They are the characters that I like for various reasons (such as quirk, personality, design, that made me laugh, cry or identify with me, etc.), but above all, I hope that they continue to improve or show more of their story.
I like them: Basically, they are characters that I like, but for subjective reasons, like I like their design, their personality or their quirk. The only exception to that description is Endeavor, who is here for other reasons, basically I like him as a hero but not as a family man.
Meh: They are characters that usually go under my radar or I never pay much attention to them. Some of these are predictable, since they have a more limited participation.
I don't think I have to explain the penultimate one lol.
>:(: I'm going to admit something: I got a little carried away here, because although I don't like Chisaki, I appreciate his role in the story.

Guardian dog Izuku au, does he save Oboro from his fate? I feel like he would considering he has mastered OFA.
He does! He's honestly a little bit glad when it finally happens, because he was waiting for this moment so long it was taking years off his lifespan worrying about him. When Izuku slips into Nezu's office and carefully drops a copy of "the three musketeers" on his desk, he swears quietly and calls All Might. The AfO vs OfA showdown happens just after that ill fated internship finishes.
All Might is a little confused about why there is a dog on the raid team that was originally going to be just him, but he's too scared of Nezu to ask. Also the dog's tail wags so fast its literally invisible whenever he looks at All Might, so. He's very attached already.
Then the cute green dog bites All for One's hand clean off. All Might decides that just makes him even cuter!
(They save a very young Tomura as well - well, more like Tomura sees a dog, stops crying long enough to follow him out of his room and Izuku proudly presents the child to a waiting Nighteye and Gran Torino who were just waiting for All Might to realllyy make sure AfO was dead. No one wanted to watch Yagi rip a man's head from his shoulders.)

To get some of the more obscure holders, how about headcanons for En? How he met Daigoro Banjo, how he obtained OFA, how he died, etc. Thank you!
YESSSSS! I HAVE SO MANY FOR EN! They're out of order, but I'm too excited to format it correctly. Sorry it got so long.
En was the youngest of 6 siblings. I have more on that here
All throughout high school he was made fun of for being short at 5'3 (160 cm) and would always say "just wait until I hit my growth spurt" and he did. He grew to the height of 5'6 (168 cm). Because of that, he always appreciates it when someone is shorter than him
This is part of the reason he became a babysitter, entertaining kids with his amazing art skills
His quirk first activated when he was in kindergarten. Back then, quirks didn't manifest until about 10, but he was under distress because all the other kids were making fun of him.
Part of the reason he fell in love with his girlfriend (Akane Akagi) is because she was shorter than he was. It's also why he likes their Ninth holder so much.
En just finished high school and had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. He loved technology, so his siblings encouraged him to do something with computers, because that's where all the money's at. He wasn't sure and decided to take a jog in the park to take his mind off things where he ran into a villain. His quirk activated on accident, allowing the new hero Lariat to take him down. After, Lariat invited him to join the new program of underground heroes the government was starting.
However, back then, underground heroes were stereotyped as cowards in the hero business. You see, this was just when quirked people were starting to become a bigger part of the population. Limelight heroes had a very good chance of being mobbed for the reason that they had quirks, and because they weren't allowed to fight back, they had a very good chance of being killed. Meanwhile, nobody even knew underground heroes existed, allowing them to be able to live a normal life. En experienced some workplace bullying because of that.
Banjo was cool though, and taught him a lot. He also became good friends with other heroes, such as Crimson Riot. And remember that girlfriend I mentioned? Yeah, she also became an underground hero. Unfortunately, she died young after being hit by a drunk driver. En's coat is red to honor her.
Red coat, blue coat, purple coat. This all means one thing. En is Bi.
En met Nana after being invited to her wedding along with his brother, Tatsuo (who would become a manga artist). Also, this happens after Banjo's death.
He was invited because Tatsuo was originally going to bring his girlfriend, but they broke up and the bride said he could come, because he was poor and in need of some good wedding food. He fell asleep during the ceremony, but after, on his way to the bathroom, he heard her crying. As it turns out, Nana's mother-in-law was a bitch to her throughout her and her husband's entire relationship. She just didn't say anything because said in-law acted like the perfect angel in front of everyone else and she was worried she wouldn't be believed. En gave her a peptalk and was surprised to see one of the new heroes from the newly created Twilight division emerge from behind the door but shrugged it off.
It was a good wedding. He ate a bunch and went back to work. Only to run into Nana again along with the fast-rising limelighter Gran Torino. They were all assigned a case, where he found himself impressed at Nana's skills. He thought back to how they first met and decided it couldn't be a coincidence. He offered her his quirk and she accepted, even knowing that she would have to fight against AFO.
AFO tried to take his quirk for the second time in their last battle. En found one of his Nomu experiment factories and was told to destroy it along with some other heroes. He didn't mean to get into battle with AFO, but it was becoming clearer that it would be unavoidable so he made sure everyone got out safely before confronting the man. After failing to steal his quirk the second time, All For One killed him out of frustration. At least the factory ended up being destroyed.
En's fighting style consisted of sneaking up on people and knocking them out. His coat has a bunch of pockets where he keeps some of his weapons and support items. His support items consist of two types of smoke bombs that he fills up with his smoke.
One type of bomb is your regular smoke bomb that fills a place up with a ton of smoke, but adds a few compounds made to irritate the lungs, forcing people to cough without being able to suppress it. The other does the same thing, but releases the smoke slowly over time. While his smoke doesn't affect him (and he's built up a decent immunity to other types of smoke) he still has the high collar to help filter out irritants like that, as long-term exposure to those things can be dangerous.
His weapons of choice are daggers, hammer, and those little rope things you throw at people that wrap around their legs and tie them up.
He and Banjo had a special move where Banjo would wrap Blackwhip around him, and then swing him around, knocking him into the enemy. Like that one scene in that Spy Kids movie, I forgot the name of.
En likes your usual house pets, but his favorites are reptiles. He always wanted a pet chameleon, but didn't have the resources for it.
He loves barbecue and his favorite drink is fruit juice. Any type of fruit juice. His favorite alcohol is wine. His favorite dessert is ice cream, it doesn't matter what flavor, he loves ice cream.
En's favorite season is winter because he really likes to wear scarves and thick coats. And yes, he eats ice cream in winter.

Imagine Nana nearly dying to save Reader from her horrible husband, only for her efforts to end up for naught, watching Reader be completely consumed by Stockholm Syndrome as AFO takes her away. That would be absolutely devastating.
CW: Nana Trauma
Tumblr media
Ommfff... Your gut punch ask hit me so hard I literally got nauseated reading it.
For those that don't know, this ask is related to the yandere 18+ All For One x Reader story: A Hypnotic Nightmare - rated E for “Everything is fucking wrong with this story”. Minors: do not interact.
Since Chapter 17 of this shit show, Nana has made herself out to be the classic OFA martyr. Not only did she have to LIVE all of Reader-chan's trauma, but she's got every since OFA user's personal accounts added to it. Worse yet, Yoichi is sitting inside her head confirming the reality of her nightmares. She can't even pretend that it's just a bad dream when ALL of her knows it to be true.
So let's see here... Nana found out around Feb 15th and, as of Chapter 55 we're into... late June/early July? Nana's obsessively planning to save Reader-chan for four months.
Not to mention, this thing isn't just Nana anymore. We've got Toshinori, Gran Torino, Mental, Nezu, Oceanus, Apollo and heaven knows how many other people behind the scenes on this attempt. Not only would Nana have to live the failure, she'd have a gaggle of witnesses to boot.
Can you just imagine?
Tumblr media
Hand clasped over the gaping wound in her left arm, Nana climbed to her feet, shaking and pale. She choked on the foul fumes pouring from a ruptured sewer line before squinting through the clouds of asphalt dust. Flames licked at the base of crumpled buildings. The harsh cracks of burning glass popped all around her, like sinister parodies of summer fireworks. A puff methane gas ignited on her right. The tips of her black hair curled back upon her shoulders, glowing red like a poker before they snuffed into ash.
You turned to face her, your expression shadowed by the orange blaze behind your back. With his arms wrapped around your body like a cloak, All For One's grin gleamed in the flickering light. Hooded red eyes, looked the Float Hero up and down.
Nana's right hand clamped into a first as the left hung limp at her side. Hard teeth gritted tight until the ringing in her ears was a shrieking chorus of eight voices all crying the same thing:
"Don't touch her!"
"My, oh my..." All For One clicked his tongue, his smirk growing one tooth wider. "What has my little brother been telling you?" He pressed his cheek against yours and buried his nose in a lock of your hair.
When he took a slow, deep inhale, bile burned across Nana's tongue.
"That boy has such a hero complex. It's a wonder any of you survive half as long as you do with the way he sweet talks you into going along with his little games." All For One's eyes drifted shut as he nuzzled into your temple. "Honestly, I'm starting to think he can't stand to see anyone happy."
Despite the flames all around, you shivered.
"Go on," he murmured, softly brushing the shell of your ear with his lips. His thick arms squeezed tight around your frame. One hand dipped to your belly, cradling the bulge growing inside you as he tongued a lurid kiss to your cheek. "Tell this poor misguided creature the truth," he hissed.
You tried to open your mouth, but gluey saliva entombed your words like flies in a pitcher plant.
Sharp tip nipped at your neck. "Puppy," he growled. "While I do love a tease, don't play games with your friends."
"I..."
There was a wet flick at the column of your throat.
You swallowed. "Nana, I..."
His thumb dipped just under the waist band of your pants, scratching soothing strokes into hot skin.
Biting back a gasp, you managed to whimper: "N-not here..."
"Come now, my dear," he taunted, nibbling down your neck. Large palms flattened against your hips, pressing you into his own. A slow grind firm bulge between your butt cheeks brought a fiery flush to your face. He groaned as a jolt of electric lust jumped from your quivering body to the pads of his fingers. "Lies and omissions do not become such an—" He chuckled, before purring the words. "—honest woman."
Curling into his massive frame, your eyes drifted into a dreamy, half lidded stare. A pulse of wanton heat tingled up your core. Every tantalizing brush of his skin again yours was laced with sizzling energy that urged your heart into a painful gallop. With the Demon Lord himself breathing down your neck, there was no room for an angel on your shoulder. The words flew from your lips, riding the last breath in your lungs.
"I love him."
All For One's foul smile spit his face as the sound of delicious shattering reached his ears. It could been the window of the corner store behind him exploding in the flames, but it wasn’t.
Nana slumped to the crumbling pavement, scraping her knees in the the fall.
Red eyes smoldered with hellfire as Shigaraki scooped you up into his chest. Cradling his prize, he inhaled the toxic smoke that billowed over the wreckage. A sweeter scent than this victory, he'd never breath again.
"I'll catch up with you later, little brother," he chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to the crown of your head. "I'm afraid I have to tend to my wife. She's feeling rather needy."
As Nana watched him carry you off into the sulfurous black smog, she collapsed under the wreckage of her own heart.
...and to loop back to the subject of calendar dates, you all do remember what past event happened at the start of July , right?
No?

Hi honey! I saw your little yagi hc and I couldn't stop thinking about them, can you do more please? Once again, any age you see fit!
♡ Of course! Been a long while since I got to do any little Toshinori HCs so I hope you enjoy! And I might even continue this one in the future! ♡ Big warning: There is mentions of child abuse in the beginning of this post, so be wary!
Tumblr media
♡ When Toshinori was fifteen years old he was given the incredible power to uphold a dream that would change the structure of hero society forever. He wanted to become a pillar of hope that people could rely on no matter what, which is a huge dream on its own, but he pursued it regardless. He took on challenge after challenge thrown at him throughout his time at UA and occasionally took comfort in this soft, safe mindscape that started to develop in his third year of school.
♡ It was an indulgence that he allowed himself, from buying nostalgic little toys that he could play off as trinkets to some less easily explained items that he simply tucked away in a shoebox under his bed, it was just a gentle haven between the difficult day to day training. He allowed himself to have this!
♡ Until he lost his mentor, Nana Shimura. When she fell, he dropped into that mindset hard for all but a few moments before Sorahiko Torino, Gran Torino, had beaten the mourning out of him. If he wanted to become this symbol he dreamed of being, he would have to make sacrifices. He took this to heart and faced the torturous training his secondary mentor inflicted upon him head-on. There was no time for him to be crying when Nana sacrificed her life for him to keep going.
♡ And keep going he did. Toshinori became more than a pillar of hope, he became a legend- The Symbol of Peace. Innocents were safe under his reign, fear was struck into the hearts of villains at the whisper of his name, and heroes strived to be half of what he could be. All it cost was everything.
♡ He sacrificed everything. Even with his sidekicks, from David Shield to Nighteye, he still gave up everything. His time, his energy, his health, his entire life, all of it in the name of his dream. So, when it finally came to an end and he lost the remaining embers of his quirk?
♡ Toshinori became lost. He no longer had to give up everything to uphold his dream because that chapter was over... He was done. And that was more frightening than any villain he had ever had to face. Old feelings started to spark up like new wounds, things long buried clawed their way back to the surface, and he still forced them down.
♡ Until he simply couldn't anymore. After dedicating himself to being Izuku's teacher, he struck up a gentle friendship with the boy's mother... She could tell he was a lonely person and with her, Toshinori felt safe and welcomed. Inko was tender, kind, and stood her ground where she needed to- All traits he valued in his late teacher. They bonded over the struggles that came with raising the next generation and feeling like there was nothing left for one to do when those kids moved on... And he just shattered.
♡ Soft, broken sobs like those of a lost child rattled his fragile chest until he was coughing up blood against his sweater sleeve, tears spilling in long rivulets. Inko moved over to him on instinct, frantically shooshing and soothing in the way only a mother could, pulling him into her chest- And getting the wind knocked out of her when he practically dove into the gentle affection. He might be thin as a rail, but Toshinori is still a big boy!
♡ Thankfully, Miss Midoriya is very accustomed to emotional kids and takes him up into her lap and tucks his head into the crook of her neck, humming a gentle tune. It settles him down enough to staunch the coughing, though he smears his face clumsily against her shoulder.
♡ Inko looks Toshinori over- Really taking in just how small he actually is. Not just in size, but in personality. He's always so timid and kind with her, but undeniably lost without his All Might persona there to pick up all the pieces. This was what being a pillar of society did to him and she can't help the pity that wells in her chest when she watched him tentatively nurse on his fingers, looking up with wide, innocent blue eyes.
♡ She can't leave him like this. After all he had done to take care of Japan and all he was doing to take care of her own son while he chased his dreams? It was high time that someone took care of him for once.

A little rant over the why I consider that Midoriya Izuku is autstic
Disclaimer: This is just one of my many mha theories. I would rather if peope didn't attack me for this. If you don't like it, just ignore it!.
______________________________________________________________
Special interests
Having a special interest is one of the most common characteristics for autistic people, and personally, I believe that his interest in heroes, quirks, and All Might can be read as special interests. Specially having in mind how this interests are actually very deep and time consuming for Izuku, and a very important part of him. This derivates in another characteristic that is infodumping and that is something that Izuku does A LOT.
He even shows distress when he doesn’t know something about one of these topics. (More specifically, when All Might told him that he used a support item, and Izuku was upset that he didn’t know that and went on a research rampage after finding out (I relate)).  
I also think that his hero quirk analysis notebooks are an outlet for him. Like a safe space where he can rant, and store information etc. And that is really important, because it seems like his notebooks were another reason that people bullied him for (although that is not confirmed, apart from that one scene with Bakugou).
Stimming
He stims a lot through the show. He rocked back and forth as a child, he repeatedly jumped, and is constantly exercising  (vestibular stims (i think)), and he built a habit of watching the same All Might video all of the time (and he still does that as a teenager when he is upset.  After the USJ attack he is watching the video in his bedroom before his mom calls him for dinner). This can be considered a visual stim. 
Trouble identifying social cues and has a hard time socialising 
He doesn’t seem to be able to fully understand when someone is completely invested in what he is saying, or on the contrary, when someone is bored and wants him to be quiet. He also seems to have trouble knowing when to stop talking, getting interrupted multiple times by All Might, and getting yelled at by Bakugou especially when he infodumps. 
He has a hard time meeting new people and socialising in general. I think that this is easily appreciated when he first started to interact with class 1-A, in his first interaction with Night Eye, when he met Hatsume, etc. There are many examples of this honestly. 
Sensory processing issues 
He doesn’t exactly go on sensory overload but he does have a crazy pain tolerance, and that can be connected to difficulty processing pain stimuli. We can see this on pretty much every single fight Izuku has been involved in. 
Hyper empathy and emotional dysregulation  
It’s obvious that he cares about others and feels deeply for them and what they go through. Maybe a little too much. I think this could be one of the roots for his hero complex and his need to fix everything and everyone by himself. 
And he is a very emotional person, we have seen him having mood swings, and crying a lot both in public and in private. Apparently his tears are something that he cannot control, even if other people make fun of him for it. (I relate). 
Has a different way to view the world 
This is something that both All Might and Gran Torino have pointed out about him. He has a different perspective, a different way to think about things (like when he was trying to figure out how to “not make the egg explode”). 
Adherence to a certain way of doing things 
I think this is why it took him so long to develop his shoot style. He was so focused on using his quirk in a specific exact way, that he kind of forgot he could just use his legs. It could also be why it took him so long to figure out that he should see one for all in a more natural way and not as a special move (I don’t think I explained that correctly, but for reference, it happens around the Stain arc).
And this is very minor, but I would also like to mention his very iconic red shoes. 
Safe food
This might be a little bit of a stretch, but I think it is a possibility that Katsudon is one of his safe/comfort foods since it is canon that it’s his favourite food. 
Physical contact
He seems to struggle receiving physical contact from people he is not close with. The only people that if I remember correctly he actually seeks physical contact with are Inko, All Might, and Bakugou sometimes. 
Note: this could also be a cultural thing and not be autism related, since in Japan people tend to avoid touching others unless it is unavoidable , especially if they are strangers, not related, or not close. (Little side note not mha related, but this is quite the cultural shock for me as a Latino, since physical contact is widely accepted here in Colombia. Which is funny, because I hate physical contact).
Speaking differences/struggles
He mutters a lot in the show, and many times, he seems to be doing it unconsciously, others having to stop him, and even sometimes being annoyed with it. This is something that I struggle with as well, since I’ve been told that I speak to fast and too low, and I do it completely unconsciously and have to apologise many times for it, just like Izuku.
He is a very detailed oriented person
I think this is evident mostly on the way he is fast to analyse fights and his opponents (like in the fight against Gentle Criminal and La Brava), and also on his quirk analysis notebooks. 
Since the very beginning this has been an important trait of his, that shines when he saved Bakugou from the sludge villain, or when he analysed the fight between Mount Lady, Kamui Woods and the giant villain in literally the first episode when he was still in middle school. 
This is even seen on the Provisional Hero License Exam, the joint training arc, etc. 
————————————————————————
In conclusion: Izuku Midoriya is autistic and I’m absolutely convinced that he is. 
If anyone else has something to add please do, I thrive for neurodivergent mha headcanons. Izuku isn’t even the only character I theorise to be autistic. 
I’m sorry for any spelling or redaction messages. I think my English is pretty good, but I apologise for any mistake I did here (which I’m sure I did, because I wrote it at midnight in the google docs app in my cellphone without my glasses on). 
And if you read all of this, then thank you for reading, because I think I went a little overboard.
