Got another question for ya!

Do you think bnha forces conflict in some places?

Like say the war arc for example. Like how they had most of their Pros give up and retire so they could bring in the UA students to fight.

And it's just... why is UA the only hero school doing this? If this is supposed to be a big war that'll decide the fate of the world, why wasn't Shiketsu or Ketsubutsu brought into this? I know some of their students have quirks that could've been useful in the war, why was it just UA?

If you could think of any other examples of this series forcing conflict, I would love to hear them!

Oh yeah.

This gets to the heart of something that's bothered me for awhile now, and for the longest time it's been a UA only thing (though of course War Arc/Post War just dumped that everywhere as well): UA, and hero schools as a whole, are narratively trying to be too many things at once.

You see, on one end, UA is a high school. A fancy high school, at that, one where there's a high academic bar to admission (one I doubt Mina and Kaminari could actually pass, for the record, but OK, Hori, these classic normal teenagers that spend a lot of their time in and out of school training to fight, and seem to spend a lot of their free time being normal kids instead of intensely studying are in the top ten of the country academically or whatever that bullshit was in the beginning), with school festivals, and parental permission required.

On the other hand, students are all but thrown into dangerous shit all the time.

The school that goes, "Oh, hey there, first year interns! Whooo's ready to go raid a Yakuza den!" is the same school that has to bow down to Inko so Izuku can live there, because surprise! We did the whole, 'put the kids knowingly into a super dangerous confrontation as first years' bit before the War too!

Do you see the disconnect here? I've mentioned this before, but MHA suffers from being a 'modern' setting, with modern values, in what is apparently just normal ass Japan, despite all the technological advances that probably should have radically changed society. It makes it fun and exciting, sure, but... the thing is, in modern time society as a whole cares about kids, and isn't exactly ready to throw them into the meat grinder. Shonen school settings like this, though, are about that meat grinder, about throwing the kids into ever more dangerous situations to see if they live or die against all odds.

Everywhere else, though, gets away with it by being detached from modern society, like Jujitsu, or just in a different world altogether, like Naruto. In a military dystopian hellscape, after all, things like modern values are irrelevant, so we can watch Naruto go into dangerous missions where people die with no logical dissonance!

To some extent, the League allows Hori to get away with this, since they're outside of UA's control, but relying on just them to carry the plot gets stale, so other problems are needed to be, again, confronted by first year high school students.

So to allow that, they either need to just... not really explain why kids are allowed part of it beyond 'reasons', like Izuku raiding Overhaul, or try and give an explanation, like Kaminari is apparently the only decent electromancer on the hero's side in the entire country, so they needed him to hard counter the other only decent electromancer in Japan, only to raise more questions than I think Hori really wants to answer, or just make it really obvious how that their participation is being forced.

It reason for all of this goes back to, on a simple Doylist perspective, the fact 1A, or at the very least Izuku, needs to be involved with major events. In a shonen setting like this, they need to fight, need to be put in danger. But, again, modern setting: that isn't OK, to put actual minors in harm's way, deliberately, all the time. So 1A and/or Izuku are just... shoehorned into these dangerous situations, are forced into them as you said, but it's only 1A. Where are literally every other school?

*shrug* That's an excellent question!

No, seriously. You can ask that at almost every given moment in the manga given how nonexistent the other schools are. Shiketsu literally only exists to be UA's rival as needed, and that's still more than what Ketsubetsu gets (or hell, almost any other class in UA). Compare this to like, Harry Potter, and you'll see a similar problem that world building often seems to exist only to service the plot, rather than making a world that makes sense and making a story that fits within that world. HP is so mono focused into the (utterly nonsensical) school of Hogwarts means they can avoid those problems better than MHA, which keeps trying to shove us into the greater scope of the setting, only to look away and whistle innocently when we ask questions about it.

When you look at it, after the initial setup you can see how Hori is trying to alternate where the dangers come from, to keep the story fresh: League attacks, then students go on an internship and are attacked. League attacks again, so they need to internship again so someone else can try and kill them. Ugh. And yes, I know Shigaraki is lurking in the background during the internships, but the League isn't the focus at those points, the heroes vs internship villains are; all he's doing there is showing how he's developing as a mirror to Izuku's development.

Beyond that.... you know, when you actually think about, when the staff knows that, A, a mole exists, and B, there's a group of people who seem interested in ambushing portions of the school when they separate from everyone else and become vulnerable, maybe, just maybe, someone should have brought up that taking a field trip into the wilderness was perhaps a questionable choice. You know, between how isolated they are, full of vulnerable kids they need to protect, how there's no way to call reinforcements, and how the mole could tell the people who want to, among other things, kill said children, and have access to a warper wasn't exactly a genius choice. Doubly so for Nezu since he knows Izuku has OFA, and that with the context that AFO has he probably knew about it by that point, and just in general since 1A was already attacked and that unstable individuals might have a grudge against them.

Of course, this is forgetting the conflict in school. And to a degree, I think I'm getting off topic, since a lot of that forced conflict in school is about Izuku feeling stressed and in danger rather than him being in physical danger, but... you know, Bakugou literally tries to kill Izuku, and there was nothing stopping him other than his own inability to land the hit. Izuku randomly gets a quirk, and then some murder tentacles almost off someone before he can get it under control.

They put these kids, kids with dangerous superpowers, teenage impulse control and minimal apparent training on how not to hurt someone when using them, into fights and then do basiclly nothing to keep them from going out of control. Why? Because, well, it makes it more dramatic for the readers. Thinking about it for five seconds makes it clear how messed up that set up is, compared to Final Exams, for example, which for all its problems are against teachers, well trained teachers with years of experience deliberately holding back (seriously. The idea of those weights doing anything to slow All Might is laughable. Really, the idea of any amount of them beating him is hilarious, but that's more because how wildly OOC his power level is more than anything).

I mean, hell, the Zero Pointer exists. I know people think its programmed to stop before it hurts anyone, and that it wouldn't have stomped on Uraraka, but.... that's putting a lot of faith into UA's safety policies. Even if it was, the fact it's so big means it destroys everything around it, which could easily kill someone on accident if a building collapsed on them. The sheer spectacle of it aside, the fact that someone in charge thought to unleash that in a city filled with kids (or really, anyeone) is nuts.

So yeah, there's definitely some forced conflict in MHA, as part of how so much of the setting itself is enslaved to the almighty weekly cliffhanger.

#mha critical #bnha critical #UA is messed up #why the hell is everything just modern when support tech level technology exists?#where are the other hero schools?

❣️ Todo x Mina

From this meme here

Who is the little spoon?

They switch. (though its mostly Shouto because mina is a sucker for his puppy eyes) Who sings in the shower?

Mina, she loves to sing and she'll start singing in a mix of german, japanses and english

Who plays pranks on the other?

Mina starts it but Shouto finishes

Who is the one who listens to pop music?

Mina for the most part.

Who brings the other a random cup of joe?

Shouto, if he didnt Mina could and would cause chaos on purpose.

Who picks the cheesy movies for date night?

Mina, Because she likes hearing Shouto's groan of "this again???" (her favorite move is Robin Hood: Men in Tights if that gives a idea of what she makes poor shouto watch with her)

Who is more likely to feed the other in public?

Mina again, Shouto isnt one for pda at least at first.

Who gives the other random little compliments?

Mina, she loves seeing Shouto blush when she calls him bӓrchen (German for little bear... its an endearment in german dont ask me why idfk)

Who is always stealing food from the other’s plate?

Mina does but with certain foods.

Who is more likely to let the other borrow their car?

Shouto because what would it matter to him if she crashed it, other than making sure she was ok. in the end it was just a car and a car cant replace a loved one.

Who makes the list before they go grocery shopping?

Shouto makes the list but Mina is the one to go shopping because the last time Mina let Shouto go into a store unsupervised he bought almost the entire store... he's not allowed to go shopping with out supervision now.

Who makes sure the other takes their meds when sick?

Mina because Shouto refuses to take his meds otherwise unless bribed with sweets or cold soba.

Who watches sports and has to teach the other the rules?

Mina but its 100% garueentee that everything she tells you about the rules is false. she doesnt understand how to play it or the actual rules behind it she makes shit up by the seat of her pants.

Who pulls the other to their feet for a dance in the living room?

Mina at the start, but then its Shouto that'll pull her in spinning her around their living room while Lana Del Rey plays in the background

Who has to keep reminding the other to hurry or they’ll be late?

Shouto, because Mina is the definition of "fashionably late", if he didnt she would miss her own wedding.

Who is the one most likely to get a tattoo with the other’s name?

Both, if they started dating while attending UA, they'd get it done right before graduation. MIna would have his name would be right over her heart written in his handwriting. Shouto would have her name on his wrist in her handwriting but it would be small enough that it could be covered by his wrist bracer but its placement was there so he could have something to focus on and remember he does have someone to come home to at the end of the day and that he is loved. (he also has a small snowflake tattoo on his shoulder for his mom and sister, both who have ice quirks. theres a sethiscope on his forearm for natsuo and a cross with a banner that says "Though you may travel in the dark, the light within guides you forward" in memory of his eldest brother touya.)

Lovesick (Todoroki Shouto x Reader)

love·sick

/ˈləvˌsik/

adjective

in love, or missing the person one loves, so much that one is unable to act normally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Kinda short, also one of my first 'x reader's)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Almost everybody has a voice, whether they use it or not. Kouda? He uses it to talk to animals. Tokoyami? To communicate with Dark Shadow. And Shouji? He's never been one to talk much, but he likes to converse once in a while.

Todoroki has always been quiet. Even quieter around you. You never understood why. 'Is he shy?' You thought, 'Though he seemed fine talking to the others? Maybe I'm out of his league...he is Endeavor's son after all, and a handsome rich kid too, why would he need a normal person like me in his life to be anymore than just another fan?'

You wouldn't let that get in the way of making new friends. Whether he likes it or not.

But the truth was...your thoughts were completely wrong. Little did you know, his feelings for you were so strong he may as well take the world record for being the biggest lovebird to live.

Everytime you were around, he got so nervous, felt so fuzzy inside, he couldn't bring himself to speak. Caught up in his head, thinking about how beautiful you are, how adorable every expression you made was...how you were so nice towards him, even before the sports festival. He would be so blatantly rude to you, block you off, straight up tell you he didn't need friends, yet you still tried to invade his social life.

You're so persistent, and thoughtful, and understanding...once the sports festival was over...he couldn't stop thinking about you.

How he wished he could speak to you. Everytime you said something, he would just stare into your eyes with an expression so hard to read.

"She probably thinks I'm not interested in her...but how can I show my true feelings when all I can do is stare?" He murmured to himself before sitting up on his bed.

He looked over to a notebook sitting on his desk. That was it! He can write to you! Surely, that'll work!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He sighed once he made it to your dorm. All he needed to do was slide the paper under the door, that was all! 'Who cares if they don't replicate your feelings, right?'

...right?

He was shaken from his thoughts when he saw your door open. You were standing there, 3 inches apart from him, with bedhead and adorable pajamas. Barely even awake.

"Hey, Todoroki," you said ever so quietly with the cutest blush,"Need something?"

...

"Todoroki? Hello? Anyone in there?" you giggled at your own reaction as he just stood there. "Well uh...it was nice playing stand infront of someone's dorm room with you, but I really should brush my teeth now. Gotta stay hygienic! Bye-bye!" he watched as you walked towards the elevator. What was he doing? Who cares. He was so close to you...he could smell your sweet, natural, cotton candy scent. He could almost touch you, hug you, even kiss you.

Wait...the letter! He was supposed to give you that love letter! And you were gone. Well, nothing's stopping him from giving you a late love letter...maybe even checking out your room? No...that's creepy to do that without permission...but it's not creepy if they don't know.....

He reached for the door handle and turned it, opening the door to reveal all the things you love in one dorm.

All the equipment and gear for the sports you love to play, every doodle and sketch you've ever drawn, a twin bed covered with multiple blankets and pillows with your favorite fandoms on them. He looked over to the corner of your bed and saw a journal with a lock on it. Your diary? Maybe so. And you were even foolish enough to leave the key right on your pillow.

He set the letter down and used the key to unlock the diary, and read anything he found interesting. He hoped you wouldn't walk in on him reading your book of secrets.

Over the past 5 minutes, he's already learned so much about you. Your pet cockatiel you had to leave at home to abide dorm rules, your older sister who you missed so much, all your past crushes and friends, and even enemies. And finally he got to the one page he needed to read.

And he read every last word.

"I always wondered why he never talks to me...did I say something? Am I annoying? And why do I have to like him? The one person who doesn't even bother to speak to me. I wish I never had the ability to feel, I know this will end in heartbreak and our relationship being even more awkward than before. It always does.

But I won't stop talking until he makes me. It'll teach both of us something! He'll learn to use his words instead of waiting for someone to use their mind reading quirks and I can work on whatever he tells me to!"

Were you talking about him? Who do you have feelings for?? He didn't know what to think.

He closed and locked your diary, left the letter and closed the door behind him. Walking back to his dorm, he was lost in his thoughts, hoping he'd get answers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My legs hurt..." you whined, plopping onto the couch. "You'll get used to it!" Mina chimed in,"I always felt that way after playing Dance Dance Revolution but it gave me dancer legs after a while, and cool moves~" you giggled at her once she started doing the strangest dance she could think of.

"Thanks for taking me to the arcade, guys, it really did take my mind off him for a while."

Kaminari sat down next to you,"Don't worry bout it, but hey, if you just mentioned him, doesn't that mean you're thinking bout him right now?"

"Why don't you just ask him what's up?" Kirishima chimed in.

"Yeah, and keep asking over and over until he gives in."

You stood up "Sero, if I do that I'll just annoy him so bad that I'll have an even lesser chance to hook up with him...but thanks for the idea?"

He shrugged in response. "I'm gonna go to bed, sleeping will make Saturday come faster."

"Goodnight!" Uraraka said as you walked by. "G'night, chako."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You opened your door and saw a piece of plain, lined paper sitting in the middle of your bed. "Did I leave this here?"

You gently picked it up and laid down.

"Dear (Y/N),

I'm sorry if I upset you with my silence. I don't mean to leave you hanging all the time. But your presence makes me so flustered, I get lost in your words. I can't even use my own words to talk with you.

You make me lovesick. It's impossible to function as a normal human when you're around.

Everytime I see your sparkling eyes, my heart skips a beat. Everytime I hear soft voice, I feel like I'm listening to music. When I smell your sweet scent, I could faint.

I love you so much it's unhealthy.

Please forgive me for being so rude.

Your secret admirer, Todoroki."

...Love?

......Secret?

Todoroki???

Okay, for one, it's not secret when he tells you his name?

You were so shocked, you were expecting him to confess, but you weren't expecting a love confession! Not that you were mad, you were anything but mad. You didn't think you'd visit the arcade, come back, to try sleep, then get hit with a love letter from the one guy who acts like he hates you! (Even on accident!)

That night, you dreamt of red and white.

Part 2? Maybe? Possibly?

And don't be scared to let me know if I made any mistakes or give me suggestions!

"Oh, Prince Jeon, you're so eloquently spoken." My mother cooed, eating it all up. I was annoyed because I could tell what he was doing and I knew instantly my mother wasn't going to make me look as well as Jungkook's mother has.

"Unfortunately she is rather focused on the arts. More than anything. And of course there's nothing wrong with that but I did hope she would learn an instrument or be better at her scholarly stuff. She excels beautifully in media of the arts though. For what is worth." She scrunched her nose in distaste, wishing I was more princess like instead of being covered in paint or ink or watercolor all the time.

I frowned slightly but hide it quickly behind my cup. I must stay calm and get through this without ruining it for them or else my parents won't let it go.

"I-i like poetry too." I added as if it would make it any better but I sounded less confident now. What's the point when my mother showed her disappointment in front of the enemy.

"Oh that's true. She reads a lot but not really anything useful." My mother continued and my father shot her a glare. "She reads more things like romance or adventure. Somethings things involving magical creatures such as dragons." My mother chuckled. "That'll of course come to an end now that she is going to be married off to such an eloquent and charming prince. It's time to grow up dont you agree Mina?"

I've had this conversation many time before with her.

But never did I think she would bring any of this up in front of the enemy.

"Yes mother." I replied quietly and took another sip of my tea to hide the tears forming in my eyes. I kept my head low as well.

"Oh, honey, im sure it's not all bad for her to be interested in these things. It's great to be creative.. Not everyone is the same and she's talented." My father tried to defend.

"Sure she's talented but it's not at dancing or playing an instrument at least. If she wanted to stay within her love of the arts I mean. Etiquette and education are more important to me still." She continued and set her empty cup down.

I quietly grab the jug and pour some more tea into her cup.

He probably got what he wanted now. I'm embarsssed. - 👑

•━»•»🌸«•«━━━━━━━━•••

Jungkook found his face growing warm for two reasons. One, his battle plan worked a little bit too well and it didn't feel as good as he thought it would. It was both second-hand embarrassment and knowing that he had instigated your mother into declaring her disappointment.

Two, while Jungkook was stellar in poetry, music, and dance, on top of his academic and martial skills, he was also as guilty of enjoying painting and reading fanciful stories--he was especially obsessed with dragons. It was as if the Lee Queen had reprimanded him.

His Royal Mother was watching you with an unreadable expression--and he wasn't sure why she hadn't spoken up when she did appreciate the visual arts, as did any other learned individual from Silla. She was the one who suggested this engagement in the first place. Nodding at the Lee Queen, she said, "Since my son seemed to miss entertainment, he should provide it himself. A sweet song best chases away gloomy clouds." She could've referred to the overcast weather or the mood. "If it so pleases your household." Of course, the Lee Queen agreed enthusiastically enough for her entire family.

Hoseok readily handed over Jungkook's hyeongum, and the latter stepped a small ways from the table to make space. Then, he played and sang a classic from the Book of Songs:

"Outside the Eastern Gate/ Are girls many as the clouds/ But though they are many as clouds/ There is none on whom my heart dwells/ One in white top and lilac skirt/ Alone could catch my heart..." He naturally changed the lyrics to fit your outfit.

He sang with a smile; this was no longer about asserting his skills, but for his pure enjoyment of music. The chorus repeated and he referenced the Lee Queen's dress this time.

As the song ended, there was no time for silent contemplation as his Royal Father quipped, "My darling, Jungkook has left you out of his song, but I'll sing one for you later." His Royal Mother couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, Royal Husband, the thought alone is enough."

Hoping that his little song had successfully lightened the mood, Jungkook bowed respectfully at the happy Lee Queen, then at you, fully meeting your eyes for the first time.

Conversation

Dracula's extreme Sense of Paranoia

Dracula during the 'Dracula's Guest' Chapter: "Hmm...Jonathan seems to be getting on quite well...hold on...where is he travelling to right now? *makes a perfect calculation and determines the exact spot* "Munich! Munich, hold on...there was something...oh yeah! Shit! There's this village with the Countess I left behind once! And it's Walpurgis Night! Ok, Jonathan will have no reason to go there...but what if he happens to desire a walk? What if he decides to explore this village in his English 'Supernatural ain't got an effect on me!' manner? Shit! I better head off, otherwise this tea is cold before it even reaches me! WAIT! Hold on! If Jonathan is lost and I'm the only one around, he can't possibly be rescued, I can't risk being seen! Better write this letter to the hotel manager and arrange a soldier squad to go and save him. This is all purely hypothetical of course!"

Dracula buying Houses: "Ok, I've got nine houses already! That's NOT ENOUGH! If I'm being hunted down, I need something else! Something not easily detectable. Something, where the typical British person would never go to. *Looks up Carfax Abbey* That's awesome! Dirty, creepy, almost falling apart, the only building nearby being a lunatic asylum! I'm getting it!"

Dracula's Pick-up Plans: "Ok, right, Jonathan is getting close. I need to make sure he's checking in alright. I will recommend the 'Golden Crown' to him, excellent service, terrified staff unwilling to reveal any secrets. I will place him in the carriage that will depart at 3am, good timing! If my mathematical skills are correct, he will arrive at the Borgo Pass at Midnight. Wait...hold on...ah yes, the carriage driver might be a problem. He might have a good heart and wish to save Jonathan from my grasp. Following this logic, he might have pushed the horses to their limit, overall resulting in them arriving an hour earlier than expected! I must prepare for this! And I better get this massive beard on again, can't risk being detected! Plus! I need to invoke the feeling that I have servants! And I better get this strong booze along too since Jonathan's poor English throat couldn't possibly stand the harsh Transylvanian climate! I am on it!"

Dracula's Safety Precautions: "Damn! This woman and her child will ruin everything! I can't let her see Jonathan! Shit! She's seen him already! What to do? WHAT TO DO? Alright, Vlad, this can all be resolved in a calm and wise manner *Proceeds to unleash an entire pack of wolves onto the woman, violently mauling her to death* Phew, that was close."

Dracula's Reaction to Jonathan getting suspicious: "This tea-drinker is actually smarter than I thought! What to do? I'VE GOT IT! I shall lock him up in his room for the rest of his stay here, only letting him out for dinner. Hmm...but people in the village and especially in England might ask themselves why he's not replying or communicating in any way. Oh! Here's the deal: I shall make him write fake letters home detailing his journey back to England! It will all look like an accident this way! But the letters have to be delivered and I cannot possibly have him go to the post office. I will steal Jonathan's clothes and documents and do some Transylvanian cosplaying, haven't done that in a while! BRILLIANT!"

Dracula's Box Obsession: "Ok, listen, my dear gipsies! I want 50 boxes filled with the finest earth from under the castle! 50! No more! No less! 50! Do you copy? 50!!! if one is destroyed, I have 49 more! And if that one's destroyed, 48! 50 sanctuaries just for me!"

Dracula's Deduction: "Jonathan is oddly calm today...I wonder...hold on...*goes outside* Oi! Gipsies! Has Jonathan by chance made any contact with you? YOU WHAT? He gave you a letter? AND PAID YOU FOR DELIVERING IT? That explains everything! Oh, he shall pay!"

Dracula's Travelling Plans: "Ok, I'm on the boat, perfect! But wait...this boat surely has a schedule and designated ports! But what if my contract runs out by the time I finally reach England?! What if I end up with my boxes on the streets of some random Spanish port? No! No! No! I shall summon a destructive Hurricane that will bring the ship to Whitby! And Whitby alone it shall be! I will get right on schedule!"

Dracula while distributing his Boxes: "Five go there! Ten go there! Twenty there! One there! Brilliant! If I happen to be caught in one of them, I will always have something extra!"

Dracula's Escape: "Shitshitshitshitshitshit! They're onto me! Quickly, to Varna with us! Wait...that's the first port they will go to! Onto the next one! But wait...they can guess that one too! THIRD PORT IT IS! And then I shall get my gipsies, let them put the box on a boat and sell stream-upwards into the mountains! They'll never get me!"

BONUS from the 1992 Movie 1: "Alright, I need to blend in with the English environment! Here we are, a grey suit, perfectly reflecting the English weather! *Arrives in England and happens to be the most recognisable person due to this very suit* ...Shit."

BONUS from the 1992 Movie 2: "Renfield, my friend! It has come to my attention you have spoken with Mina! What did you tell her, mate? That I love her? Is that it? Do you think I'm stupid or blind? Surely you have told them all of my weaknesses and hiding spots! You have betrayed me, you little shit! Thanks to you they know everything now! You little traitor, you! And what do I do with traitors? *Proceeds to slam him into the door multiple times, killing him in a very gruesome way* That'll teach you not to betray me!"
