Class 1-A Boys Being Protective of You
Pairing: Izuku Midorya, Bakugo Katsuki, Eijirou Kirishima, Tenya Iida, Denki Kaminari, Shoto Todoroki, Mashirao Ojiro, Fumikage Tokoyami x Fem!Reader
Tags: fluff, established relationship, comfort, soothing kisses, protectiveness, slight threats, public display of affection
A/N: Had this one in the draft for the longest time and it was mostly finished anyway, so me being sick I decided to finish this cause honestly I need some wholesome stuff to think about right now.
Tumblr media
Deku knows a little something about people being bullies or just being pushy with what they want. He want through a lot because of that and won't tolerate such behavior in the slightest.
Before he might have been more meek or quiet but not anymore. Not when he has something, someone to fight for and protect. He's not the violent type though so he'd try to, and succeed very easily, at being menacing with his Quirk sparking around him and scaring your bullies away.
Tumblr media
Bakugo has an explosive temper as is. He has gotten a lit better at controlling it but do you think he'd be able to hold back if he saw people being mean to you? Hell no.
He's already grabbing them by the shoulders and screaming into their face to back the fuck off or else the Number One Hero and his classmate won't be the only ones with burn marks. Once they run away with their tail between their legs he calls them morons before turning to you and wrapping his arms around you in a protective guesture.
Tumblr media
Like Bakugo, Kirishima has a hot temper but he's more fired up about protecting you than beating living crap out of whoever is talking bad about you. That doesn't mean that he won't throw a few punches as a warning though.
Honestly one angry look from him combined with his body hardening can send most people packing. If it doesn't he will throw down no problem, ain't no way someone disrespecting you and getting away with it.
Tumblr media
Tenya can act on impulse when he's really pumped up about something but he mostly maintains a cool head. He wants to prove himself as a worthy hero and boyfriend so when you walk together his protective instincts go into overdrive.
He keeps his arm around you, smiling at you the whole time and talking loudly and energetically, lifting up your mood. Even if someone does try to approach and they display bad intentions he can easily remove both of you from the situation by using his Quirk without causing much of a ruckus.
Tumblr media
Denki is super high energy but he's also got an ego that can easily rival that of Bakugo. Because of that he often assumes that by his reputation alone no one will try anything funny with you.
If that does happen, while he can sometimes act like he doesn't handle fight situations the best no opponent is to powerful or intimidating when it comes to your safety. He'll even make himself go overboard if need be but that doesn't happen that often. He's very good at comforting you after the fact and does whatever he possibly can to take your mind off the incident, even if that means acting a little silly in the process. Doesn't matter, anything for you.
Tumblr media
Shoto is very level-headed unless provoked. Angering him is like asking for trouble and people do it anyway just because they want to see a reaction from Endevor's son. Usually he doesn't mind however when you're involved it's a whole different story.
He will gladly show them what he's capable of by turning up the heat around them enough to make them sweat bullets while he shields you from it with his ice and body. Immediately after they're gone he'll pull you into a soft kiss and ask if you're alright, cupping your face in his hand like you're his whole world.
Tumblr media
Ojiro might be a kind and gentle soul towards most people but he won't stand by while his girlfriend gets talked down to by jerks. He pulls you to his side with his tail and holds you to his chest, casting a deadly look to the people who were bothering you.
He'd rather settle it without resorting to violence but hey if they're being pushy he'll push right back. Hard. He's got enough sense not to go too hard on them, he doesn't want to kill them, but he roughs them up enough so they never think about harassing anyone ever again.
Tumblr media
Tokoyami is a hard person to get to, his withdrawn demeanor sometimes makes even you guess what he's thinking. That being said there's no doubt at what he's thinking when he's face to face with your bullies.
People are scared of him already so combined with his Quirk he can look like the stuff of nightmares, or dreams if it you. Since he obtained his flying ability he's gotten better at taking you away from harm before things escalate too much but he can't guarantee that he won't make your bullies think twice about approaching you when he's around.

Hey! I was wondering if you could do a nsfw fic for Tokoyami? He's my favorite character and he's lacking in content, especially nsfw. So I was hoping to get something like super soft and slow with him?

you do NOT have to tell me twice! also ty im very flattered you like my work -///- REQUESTS ARE OPEN.Feel free to send me an ask and I’ll write it for you! Remeber to check the rules first.
Fumikage Tokoyami x Reader
contents: nsfw, waxplay, tooth rotting romantic stuff
Tumblr media
“A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blooming in a rainforest." That was a good way to describe Tokoyami. Throughout highschool he stuck to himself, watching his classmates socialize with each other, laughing when they could be kids, and fighting when they had to be heroes, just finding themselves, blooming. Tokoyami preferred to stay to himself mostly, he’d talk with his classmates back when they were in highschool together, as he too wanted to be a hero, but unlike his classmates, there was something missing. A problem inside him that needed to be solved, a longing for something, but he didn’t know what he was longing for. Whether it be Bakugo calming his temperament, Todoroki helping to heal his broken family, or Midoriya, which I can’t even begin to explain. All of them had identified their own issues, and were fixing each one so that they could prosper. So from afar, he watched his classmates solve their own problems, while he hopelessly was trying to solve his own, trying to bloom. It’s not like Tokoyami was some type of loser or anything, he’d landed himself a high position in #2 Pro Hero Hawks’ headquarters. Sometimes he’d even cover for the winged hero when Hawks was too weak to patrol normally, as he’d never been the same since the incident about 7 years ago.
Tumblr media
Tokoyami didn’t really appreciate the sun, as it got in the way of his job. At least he didn’t sweat as much, the black cloak of his trapping in the heat. The day seemed normal enough, civilians pacing around, some of them being familiar faces. The only thing he couldn’t be pouty about though, was the atmosphere. Summer was approaching, and what could go wrong with summer? Festivals, boardwalks, parties, everyone was free for a few months. Not him though, since he was past school and still had to work. To be frank, I think he hated summer. The everlasting sun doing nothing to help his profession. However, the sight of people skipping around and smiling, anticipating what this year’s summer has in store for them, was nice. A particular laugh however, was delightful to listen to. It sounded like music to his ears, light and genuine, a far contrast to the darkness that always clouded up his mind, practically piercing into his head. So he decided to cock his head at the person who had made such a beautiful sound, that was when he saw you. Laughing at the cat who had fallen off the table at the cafe you were currently at. The poor kitty had tried to get a bite out of the cheesecake you were eating, and was not very successful. The sun was shining directly at you, giving a glitter to your eyes and lighting up your skin, making it shine.
 He was grateful that the sun existed now, and he was grateful that he had found his problem.
Tumblr media
Even though the sun shines on your skin whenever you two are together, he still prefers the nighttime, especially for this reason; intimacy.
He liked the expressions that you make, a little too much actually. Whether it be the little glitter in your eyes whenever he gives you something, or the little wobble in your bottom lip whenever you’re about to cry. Currently, he likes when the calm expression on your face starts to falter whenever you feel more wax drip down from your ribs, all the way down to your lower stomach. It was warm, very warm, and it tickled too. Too bad you weren’t really in a position to squirm, with your wrists being tied to the headboard.
It went on like that for a while, until he wanted to see more of you, how many expressions he could pull from your pretty face. So that’s exactly what he got.
He took in and savored everything he could get from you. The way your eyes softened when he curled his fingers right into the soft spot deep inside you. The sound of your voice, pleading with him to just let you cum, how could he refuse?
I think the thing he cherished the most though, was your souls intertwining with each other as he slowly thrusted into you. Nothing had to be done quick or rough, he had time. Your hands freed so you could pull his head down to kiss you, and your legs wrapped around his waist. If you had any focus before, it was gone. Everything is now a flurry of pleasure and emotion, for him too. However Tokoyami could feel something else, the thorns wrapped so tightly around his heart have been torn down, letting whatever was inside finally have enough room to grow. In his heart was a daisy, blooming in the desert, he was finally blooming.
Holding you close in the night when it was all over, watching the moon shine over you both in its divinity.
      The sun was nice, yes, but he still liked the night better, nothing could be better than this.

ACCIDENTAL NAB
paring: thief!hawks x princess!reader
word count: 2k
warnings: profanity
Notes: part two! I really love this series sm😭 hawks his mean also
Summary: thief!hawks steals you away and takes you far from your home! On accident…
Part one: ACCIDENTAL NAB P1
Tumblr media
You feel warm. you’re soundly sleeping after you dosed off, still not trusting the three men who took you away from your home.. (obviously)
your dreams have never been nice ones but for once they feel warm, you can vividly see all of your sisters crammed together trying to guess all the words in your fathers books.
you can hear them laughing while you walk into the room, they see you and their eyes brighten.
They practically beg you to read the book aloud to the three of them, you walk over and cuddle into their warmth. They whisper soft comments about the story while slowing falling under sleeps spell.
It’s so warm in this dream, you want to be here for- flick!
you open your eyes to see yellow ones staring right into your very soul.
“Morning!” He loudly chirps.
“…mph” your mouth is still gagged by the cloth, of course it is.
“Well I’m assuming that’s a good response instead of an insult…”
You look around the carriage, it’s not terrible but it’s not as good as yours back at home…obviously.
Dabi speaks up, “listen here and listen good, princess, we don’t need you causing a..ruckus while we’re in this god forsaken place.”
“Hey I quite like this trading post” the blonde responds.
“Shut the hell up hawks.” Dabi says curtly.
Hawks raises his hands in the air as a surrender motion, while Tokoyami hustles towards you. Guiding you out of the carriage .
“Just follow close to us.” Tokoyami says in a whisper.
You glance around the bigger town, many are staring, many scoff…for some reason.
Your used to the stares, mostly because your the princess, but still your surprised no one has recognized you yet? Don’t you people love you, shouldn’t they immediately recognize someone they worship?!
You wish you could just run away but, these three men are huddled around you like your some…Someone to be bought! And you are in fact priceless.
The four of you pass by many shops, some more worn down than others…god you miss your kingdom.
“There’s the bar…” Dabi says.
Hawks scoffs, “please Dabi, we’re with royalty at the moment, maybe don’t think about getting wasted?”
Dabi sighs, slouching down slightly in defeat…”her damn fault for hiding in a box.”
Tokoyami snickers softly, until you send him a glare that could envy your fathers.
He clears his throat, “don’t question the future queens decisions…”
Dabi laughs, “if she’s the future queen then we’re all doomed, thank the gods we took-“
“Could you two maybe not speak so loudly of us having the princess..?” Hawks angrily whispers towards the two.
They all finally shut their traps. You’d rather listen to your sister rant about how ‘gorgeous the gardener is!’.
you just want to be with your family honestly.
Your father always bossed you around anyways, you should be glad for this small bit of freedom! But, he only did it because he loved you…or maybe because you looked so much like your mother.
No, no, no thinking about the past…these men don’t even deserve to see your tears roll down your face! They’d probably collect them and sell it to the night market anyway…
You finally reached the shop you were supposed to be at, you watch as some of your most luxurious items go towards the shop keeper, as his eyes widen with glee.
“Sorry about your stuff…” Tokoyami whispers softly into your ear, “we do what we have to.”
“Mmphph”
The four of you leave after making a deals, the men stashing the shined golden coins into their pouches. How has no one recognized you still? Can’t they see your their next Queen?!
no matter how many eyes you stare dead into, no one even makes a move to help. Maybe they’re just scared to butt in!
or maybe…they don’t even know who you are.
you shake your head, I mean you weren’t as popular as your sisters, with all their beauty and charm…but! You were the oldest. Maybe that’s why no prince asked for your hand in marriage.
No, y/n stop that, you are just as great as all your sisters! Someone will have to recognize you, right?
“Should we rest here for the night sir?” Tokoyami says to hawks.
Hawks looks glances at you, then towards Tokoyami, “you tired ‘Yami?”
Tokoyami nods, “only slightly, I’m just worried for the…our friend here.”
Three kidnappers worried about your sleep schedule is absolutely perplexing to you.
“Yknow my favorite thing about SableStome has always been their amazing inns.” Dabi says with dullness.
Hawks laughs, “Can’t tell if you’re being serious or sarcastic.”
Dabi sighs, “Their beds are nice.”
Hawks then confidently starts to stride to the inn, “I suppose we have to stay then, right?”
confident men are always your least favorite, I mean no man has actually spoken more than 10 words to you but still.
Honesty you feel a twinge of excitement that you’ll be sleeping in a nice soft bed instead of a small, stuffy carriage…or box.
Hawks swings open the door to the inn and walks over towards the front desk, “two beds please~” he coos out.
The woman at the front desk smiles softly, “it’s nice to see you again hawks, new friend coming with you?” She ushers towards you.
no, your not their new “traveling buddy”, your the very popular and very kidnapped princess!
“Yep! She’s not the talker though…” says hawks.
Of course you’re not a talker, you’re being gagged by some nasty hanker cheif.
“Alrighty, here’s your key!” She slides the key over towards hawks.
“Thank you sweetie..” he says.
The sun has almost finished setting, you can tell from the window you’re looking out of, it’s gorgeous…reminds you of when your mother would take you to the shoreline and spill wise words from her mouth.
it’s truly terrible that you no longer remember a single thing she’s said.
“Hey, snap out of it” Hawks comes into your peripherals, “we got a nice room for ya, princess, cmon…”
He walks away. It’d be nice to get some rest..at least you couldn’t think about the past in your sleep, or atleast not too in depth.
You walk up the stairs, following behind hawks closely, opening the door then looking around the room.
It’s about the size of your closet, not terrible, the beds are kinda big at-least, only two…wait two?
Who in gods name is trying to cuddle up to you in the middle of the night? No princess should be…even sleeping near someone of their status!
Hawks looks towards your distressed expression, “What?”
“Mphpmph!” You muffle out.
“Do you want the gag off..?”
Well it would be nice, but that wasn’t what you were trying to say!
“Mrmphphpm”
“I mean…promise you won’t yell?” He says softly.
Well there’s really no point in yelling, what’s the clerk gonna do against three men….
You nod eagerly, hawks shakes his head letting out a small chuckle, “fine, fine.”
He pulls down your hood, undoes your scarf, then unties your gag, pocketing it. Slightly gross but at least it’s off now.
“You must be out of your damned, trivial, insignificant mind if you think I’m even sharing a bed with you, you big boned avian.”
Hawks sighs, “I didn’t take it off so you could just be mean…”
“you heard me.” You say.
Hawks looks at you, “what do you want me to do, sleep on the floor?”
“That’s exactly what I was thinking! glad your meager brain could think the same as me.”
“Alright the gag is going back on-“ “w-wait hold on!”
Hawks stops, raising his eyebrow.
“I-I uhm…it is improper for someone of my status to sleep with...you.”
Hawks rolls his eyes, “look, you may think your reallll important but your sisters are way more admired than you are. We barely even recognized you as royalty.”
well ouch…
He continues, “Not to mention that not one single person has even tried to help you, so stop complaining about who you sleep next to.”
Tokoyami steps in, “no need to be so harsh to her, Hawks, I doubt you would want to sleep near people who accidentally kidnapped you..?”
“Well she wanted to be all sassy!” Hawks says agitated.
Dabi speaks from the bed, “I say she needed the wake-up call.”
“You’re not helping.” Tokoyami says.
You stomp over towards the vacant bed, slamming yourself down into it.
“Hm, guess she’s over it!” Hawks says cheerfully.
Tokoyami and Dabi sigh, hawks looks at both of them, “what?”
Their voices slowing fade as you push yourself farther and farther into your own head. You’re already having a terrible time, being kidnapped and all, but they just rub the salt deeper into the wound!
How would mother respond? never mind actually, she would have never fussed in the first place. Father most likely would have beat their head into a plup. Mother made him soft, made you soft, then she was gone.
Your sisters barely remember her, but you remember her smile, your father says she looks exactly like you.
You can feel the a second weight be put onto the bed, you don’t care who it is, hopefully it’s the nice bird headed one.
do your sisters miss you as much as you miss them? Who’ll read to them, who’ll will be there to check their dress or if they look presentable enough to see the man who wants their hand in marriage?
You open your eyes slightly, looking towards a window. It’s dark out, how long have you been stuck in your own head?
You rise from the bed quietly, you look at the door, it’s locked tight so you can run out. You make your way towards the windowsill, sitting down.
Your tired but not tired enough to fall asleep just yet, your heads to full of thoughts anyway, when have you ever been this sentimental?
The moon is beautiful tonight, bright and fully lit. You’re glad your father taught you how to read because then you’d never know how the moon changes.
You didn’t know which one you liked more, the sun or the moon? Then again the sun could shine by itself while the moon needed the sun to shine even half as bright.
“What’re you doing..?” Says a soft, sleepy voice.
You look over to where the voice could’ve been, locking eyes with yellow ones.
“Nothing.” You says curtly.
Hawks rubs his eyes, “your one weird princess, huh?”
“That’s rude.”
“You’re rude.”
There’s silence after hawks speaks.
“Well-“
He cuts you off, “Come back to bed.”
“Why do you care?”
“I don’t, I just don’t want a grumpy princess in the morning…”
You huff, “fine.” Then plop yourself onto the bed, “don’t suffocate me with your wings, I’m important.”
“Sure you are…” he says tiredly.
“I am.”
“I’m not disagreeing.”
“good.”
You close your eyes, the warmth he emits isn’t…terrible. In fact, it’s quite comforting.
“Hey” hawks whispers.
“what.” Your reply quietly.
“Why were you in that box, no judgement it’s just…weird?”
You sigh, “I was…playing hide and seek.”
He starts laughing, covering his mouth so he wouldn’t wake the others, “stupid…”
He flips around, facing you. “sorry that we took you…”
“yes, you should be..”
“You are so hard to be nice to..”
“My father-“
“I don’t wanna hear about your father, I already see his face in every town we go to.”
Well isn’t that insulting, your father is wonderful!…wait, do the people see your face too?
“Hmph.”
“What?”
“Do you see my face too?…in public?”
Hawks looks towards the ceiling, then back at you, “I see your sisters more.”
“Hm…”
That’s why no one recognized you, your barely even publicized.
“Don’t know why though, I personally think you’re prettier than your sisters” he says faintly.
“Really?”
“no.”
“Asshole.”
He starts giggles, his wings puffing up slightly.
“Such a way with words eh? I’ll leave you alone now”
“good, your terrible company.”
He snickers and turns to his side, facing away from you.
“Night, princess”
You only hum in agreement.
It’s not terrible here, but you oh so badly want out from this small freedom.

I know that dark shadow and Tokoyami have different personalities, but do you think there's anyone they feel the same about?
There are a couple people who could fit that but I would say the best answer for that is Midoriya! If we are strictly following canon their first interaction is with mido asking tokoyami to join his team and making some perfect analysis for dark shadows capabilities. Tokoyami was thoroughly impressed and dark shadow was very flattered mido was paying so much attention to them. The thing that makes this unique is that their friendship starts on equal footing, with mido recognizing both tokoyami and dark shadow from the beginning. If you want to delve into non canon lore there was an anime short released that has the class return to the USJ to do some actual rescue practice and tokoyami and Midoriya got to interact there. Midoriya gushes on about how cool dark shadow is and tokoyami just looks so shocked.
For tokoyami and dark shadow it is rare for someone to recognize dark shadow much less regard them as their own individual, ESPECIALLY from a first impression. This is probably the only time it’s happened to them to be honest. Tokoyami tends to create a divide between himself and others because of their lack of awareness for his Other. It takes time for people to understand and get to know dark shadow before he can tell them about their true individuality. From having an avian mutation to a “villainous” quirk people are mostly afraid of him, much less willing to accept a sentient quirk on top of that. But Midoriya bypassed ALL of that, he finds them amazing and cool, so tokoyami allows himself to form a connection in turn.
Talking to Midoriya makes Shadow feel like a person. They feel recognized and get the attention they have been craving, and tokoyami couldn’t be happier for them. The only other people to regard dark shadow so highly were their grandparents, and now they are gone. For however much of a divide tokoyami makes between himself and others, dark shadow’s is twice as big. Shadow is a creature of darkness and everyone else are creatures of light. They long to be close with others, to walk in the sunlight with them, but it’s just not possible. Tokoyami can bridge that gap, he can walk in the light for BOTH of them, but it’s not the same. Midoriya doesn’t even know how important it was to Shadow that he took that first step and reached out to them first. Maybe this is a little dramatic but shadow has big feeling and is very emotional actually.
On a completely normal note, there are lots of things about Midoriya that tokoyami and Dark shadow both feel the same way about. Mido reminds tokoyami of dark shadow, he is excitable and chatty and actually pretty funny. Shadow thinks Midoriya is adorable with how expressive he is and loves to tease and get reactions out of him. They are all smiles when mido is around. He is never judgmental towards others interests and even said their room was cool.
There are also lots of things shadow and toko have in common with mido. Midoriya has a kind heart but also a dark side. When Shadow was going on a rampage during the summer camp he was determined to help save everyone, that sacrificeing nature to protect others at any cost is one the twins know well. When mido leaves UA that self isolation and destruction is all too familiar of a darkness for tokoyami to sit back and let happen. Midoriya is also…odd, he can be creepy with his mumbling and taking notes on people which can weird people out but tokoyami understands his odd nature and see him as a kindred spirit. As a consequence of their unique behavior’s, both tokoyami and mido were bullied growing up, and you know what they say, misery loves company. Really, Midoriya’s embodiment of both light and darkness is what makes him so compatible with shadow and tokoyami because they are the definition of dual nature.
(Speaking of dual natured, todoroki was a close second for this ask, maybe I will write about him some other time)
Honestly I wish I could tell you all the reasons Midoriya likes tokoyami and dark shadow but that would turn into a complete mumble storm. He could go on and ON about how funny and cool and amazing they are. In fact since tokoyami is so secretive Midoriya keeps all his notes on them in a separate journal, and there are a LOT of notes. From personality traits to possible special moves mido is completely facinated by these little birds.
As far as hang outs go dark shadow loves to sneak over to his room in the middle of the night when they know he’s awake. They are both chatty so from hero’s to quirk specifics they never really run out of things to talk about. It is dark out though so dark shadow can be a little rambunctious. They watch movies or tv shows to calm down. Tokoyami is a better listener than a talker but Midoriya has a way of making people feel comfortable and getting them to open up. He’s willing to tell mido about his interests and even some of his secrets. He’ll talk about the prequirk era, gothic literature, and some of his past and insecurities. Midoriya is also one of the only people tokoyami likes to train with, he prefers to create his special moves in secret but mido is full of good ideas and advice so he helps them. Midoriya finds all of Tokoyami’s little hobbies fascinating too so he is always willing to learn and join in when toko is doing something fun. Sometimes they will sit together and write in their journals while listening to music.
Mido and toko can talk to each other very easily because of their shared issues, they are both good at giving advice and reassuring others. They might not interact a lot but their friendship is strong.

Tags: bakugou x gn!reader, jealousy, Band AU, drummer bakugou, Quirkless AU, fluff,
Drummer Bakugou would be hot as hell. Disclaimer: The song Good 4 u from Olivia Rodrigo is in here so all props to her for this song because I am incapable of writing a single note.
God, he pissed you off. Bakugou can be one hell of an asshole, anytime, anywhere. You blew out an irritated scoff as you fixate your eyes on the blinding lights glaring down on the stage, determined to find a way to make yourself go blind so that you could stop looking at that emotionally-exhausting human named Katsuki Bakugou.
Unfortunately, his aura made it practically impossible to ignore him.
Your band had picked him up about a week after you guys formed. Jiro said she knew a guy that could fill in your drummer's vacant spot. After all, you needed a percussionist. Bands couldn't last long without one.
So when an angry, explosive and loud blond was dragged into the rented-out studio the very next day, you were hesitant to believe that this was the man that was going to solve all your problems. He proved you wrong though.
"Why the hell do you want me in your stupid little band anyway?" He snarled, trying to pry off Kaminari's arm that was clamped around his shoulders. "Can't you just ask Icy Hot or something? I'm sure even Damn Deku learn how to do it if it meant helping you guys until you got a replacement!"
"But that person won't be you, Bakugou!" Kaminari moaned, determinedly and successfully getting the blond into the room with the help of Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu. "Please, man! You're the best there is close to campus! The school band won't even let us take anybody!"
"And I can see why!" The blond spat, still fighting the mass of limbs that blocked the door. "I didn't want to do this shit!"
You frowned from your spot, clicking the microphone to the stand as you folded your arms. "Are you sure about this?" You whispered to Jiro, who had her head cradled tightly in her hands. "Isn't he the one always getting the top marks on all the weekly tests the teachers give us? You sure he can play?"
Bakugou's neck jerked so hard that you thought he would get a whiplash. "Hah?" He stopped resisting, sharp eyes snapping to you. "The hell do you mean 'can I play?' I'm the best fucking person you'd find in this entire country!"
Tokoyami, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu slumped down in relief, winded.
You blinked, taken aback. Then, your lips curl into a sly smirk.
"Prove it."
He decimated any thoughts of getting another person the second he held those drumsticks.
Since those high school days, the 6 of you matured into a band that wrote and performed original music, posting it on any social media platform to let it gain traction.
Thankfully, with Jiro's parents being music producers, it was infinitely easier to learn what was in and find the direction your band was going in.
Even after years of performing, you were still a bundle of nerves before performing.
Not this time though.
Now, all could do was to remind yourself to stay calm, get into the zone, and channel all this irritation into your vocals to make your performance more realistic and impactful.
Your relationship with Bakugou would be described as...chaotic at best. As the main vocalist in the band, you were mostly in charge of the lyric writing and overseeing what was the chords and rhythm for each song.
Bakugou was the one who dwelled the most on each section to make sure your lyrics were nothing short of perfect.
There were times when it would be just the two of you in that studio, rehearsing and replaying original albums or favourite covers before the others came. Even if Bakugou and you would yell and glare at each other, both of you held begrudgingly respect for what each of you did.
Bakugou annihilated any competition for a drummer in your region, just like he said. And even though you never brag, Bakugou knows you have the confidence and lung capacity of a whale. Your technique was unquestionably better than Jiro's.
That's why Bakugou knew every habit and quirk you executed in or out of that studio. He'd gotten really good at observing especially you.
The way you would fidget when someone would tell you how amazing your singing was, obviously flustered. That incoherent laughter that you think sounds terrible but one that Bakugou absolutely adores because it enforces the genuinity of your reactions. The blond is proud to know that he has drawn that laughter out of you the most times out of all the people he's seen you interact with. The way your words can change from throat-ripping rasp to velvety smooth to fit any one of your songs.
Fuck, you're so clumsy and stupid and irritatingly mind-racking all the time, but he can feel his feelings slamming harder and harder against that bedrock wall of control he so desperately built to keep his mind clear.
You don't make it easy though.
Bakugou is obnoxious at times, and this was one of those occasions. There was a slip-up backstage, and he just wouldn't stop yelling. You get that he was angry, you were too, but this was one of the times to be professional and suck it up. You'd get to perform anyway, it was just a little hold-up because one of the lights stopped working. One of the male assistants even came up to you to offer you a drink in apology.
Still, Bakugou just had to make a scene.
He ripped gently took that beverage out of your hand and threw it away the second you got it. Snapping at you in his temper tantrum, lashing out a tired "whatever" as if he were a child. The nerve of this guy!
Control now, let loose later, you remind yourself behind those velvet black curtains. Ignoring the looks of concern from your bandmates and the pressing scowls of confusion Bakugou was giving you.
A practised smile frames your face as the curtains part, and that's when you were greeted by your ever-enthusiastic fans.
It's showtime.
Maybe your sneaky attempt at revenge went a little too overboard.
After all, almost half of the female fans of your band were always fangirling over the great Lord Explosion Murder that killed everyone with his music. You wanted to make him feel how you did for once, even in your own narcissistic way.
There's no way he'd like you anyway.
It was easy to get lost in the song you wrote about heartbreak, getting lost in the frenzy of emotions, the strumming of the electric guitar, the rhythm of the drums...
you could feel the music thriving in your bones today.
As you sang, you noticed a guy in the front row grinning so broadly that practically half his face was plastered with that smile. "I LOVE YOU Y/N!" You heard him shout, jumping along with the crowd as you transition into the bridge.
Maybe you just felt neglected with all the feelings bottled up at your throat with Bakugou. It's hard to say anything when you know it's not your place, after all. Maybe that's why you did what you did next.
Smiling alluringly, you lock eyes with that man in the crowd and sing.
"Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy's like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all"
His eyes light up so bright that it almost makes you chuckle. It felt nice to be reciprocated for once.
At the back of the stage, Bakugou stares at you in utter confusion. What the hell did you think you were doing? He thought, finishing his section and letting you transition back into the chorus.
"Well, good for you
You look happy and healthy, not me
If you ever cared to ask"
Twirling the drumstick between his fingers, he watches, stupefied, as you continue to blatantly flirt with the audience, looking so innocent even though Bakugou knows you know exactly what you're doing.
You smile at-some guy in the front row, the blond can't make the extra out-and-did you just wink at him?
Bakugou's nostrils flare, eyes burning with jealousy.
This was what he get for being an unceremonious idiot. Karma is having a field day today. He watched you flash that flirtatious smirk to that bastard one more time as he clicks his tongue and raises his drumsticks in the air.
Tch.
The symbols clang loudly under his aggressive playing style as he lets spiteful jealousy take over his actions. He strikes the drum harder than necessary, unable to do anything but express how he felt through his playing, and it certainly gets your attention because you just sing louder above his drumming.
Kaminari, stunned, racks up the volume as Tokoyami supports Bakugou's drumming, letting the vocals and the rhythm take charge with a hint of the main melody from Kaminari to tie the entire performance together.
The performance ends with you and Bakugou panting, having used so much energy up to prove a silent point to each other you both couldn't voice at the moment.
The crowd roars with applause. Jiro exhales in relief, grateful both of your childish reactions only fueled each other and didn't tear down the entire show. You all bow, and practically hurtle off the stage. Shit. Bakugou was not going to be happy.
-
"What the hell were you doing back there?!" Bakugou growls collapsing on the couch as if dropping a dumbbell, vermillion eyes fixated on you in pure, raw fury. The minute you got of the stage, Bakugou had dragged you away from your bandmates and flung you into some random room to 'talk to you privately'. You right. He was fuming. "Flirting with the audience like that...are you begging to cause problems?"
"What's wrong with engaging the audience, hah?" You fire back, eyes lit aflame. "My pitch was perfect today!"
"And my rhythm has never been better!" Bakugou flings, eyes locked with yours as you glare each other down with searing stares. "But does that mean I make those fucking pretty eyes to anybody? I fucking don't!"
"Maybe it's because it's nice to reciprocate for once?" You yell without thinking, voice booming. "You don't even know who those lyrics are for, asshole! They were meant to be for you!"
Stunned silence enveloped the room. Bakugou recoils, taken aback...
"Run that by me again?"
Your eyes widen, only just realising your mistake. The red in your cheeks swelled from anger to embarrassment, bite dissolving the minute he called you out.
You messed up. "I-" You run an exasperated hand through your hair, sighing. "That song was for you, Bakugou. I was just fed up because you were acting all cranky before the performance started. And the fact that your fans have been vexingly clingy lately. it was just a mix of things that bothered me for a while now that blew up all at once."
Bakugou replays the lyrics in his head, realisation hitting him like a truck.
You like him.
He takes a bold step forward, closing the space between the two of you.
He likes you.
"Bakugou-?"
"Your fans," He leans in a hair away, breath tickling your face. "They piss the shit out of me too."
Your breath hitches. Was he really-?
"You gonna leave me hanging or what?" Bakugou grumbles, the fury in his eyes seeping out to make way for a softness you're not used to seeing.
You close the gap between you two.
Bonus Part:
When Kaminari sees the both of you come back with joint hands, he immediately pumps his fists and high-fives Tokoyami. "Finally," He groans, "you've been dancing around each other for years now. I thought you would never get together!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP DUNCE FACE!"

I want to cry.
(Quick rant before getting back to drawing, rant will be under the cut so feel free to skip)
I wanna bawl my freaking eyes out. And puke. And just disappear.
sometimes talking with one of my younger sisters abt anime and ships and stuff makes me so uncomfortable. Because we were in the car talking about Mha ships and I had to say I didn’t really like any ships other than Tsuyu x Tokoyami (even though I do) bc she doesn’t support the lgbt community. And I don’t feel comfy talking about it around her. It’s not in the same way one of my other friends doesn’t support the community (you know who you are, I’m not saying who you are bc I don’t who you have not told yet)
she’s so openly disapproving. And it makes me wanna cry.
she said smth like “there are some ships I HATE and I think you know why.” And I just wanted to curl up and cry. I’m glad I was in the front seat and she was behind me so she couldn’t see my face.
I’m scared for if she ever finds out I’m apart of the community.
I don’t know if I can tell her for a long time because unlike the previously mentioned friend, she’s VERY aggressive. And mostly likely will be like “what the heck ____. What is wrong with you.”
I don’t talk abt the lgbt community around the previously mentioned friend out of respect and to not make them uncomfortable.
I don’t talk abt it around her bc I think she’ll yell at me.
I just
I’ve had a rough past two weeks. With my struggling with eating and just random bursts of overwhelming sadness
I don’t like feeling this way.
I want it to stop.
and anyone who doesn’t support who is reading this, I’m not upset because she doesn’t support it, I’m upset because of how aggressive about it she is.
she is more than allowed to not support it. It’s her choice completely.
I just don’t see the point in being so borderline angry/upset when talking about it.
like, there are some things I myself don’t like. But I’m not gonna be angry at someone bc they like it.
im most definitely gonna delete this later.

I'm gonna voice a bit of an unpopular opinion here but I wish Horikoshi would've put more of a focus on anti-mutant discrimination through the pov of non-villains. (using the word mutant here bc iirc 'heteromorph' is the less sensitive one as far as Viz's translation goes)
I believe someone before me (possibly @/transhawks) has already said this much, but... Hawks could've brought so much nuance to the table. He's a mutant, but he has more privilege than most because he retains a mostly human-like appearance; unlike fanon, his feet and his hands are human looking, and the only "birdier" trait he displays is a heightened sight. All in all, his wings are the only part of his appearance that make him visibly a mutant, and he's exempt from the anti-heteromorphic sentiment because his wings are the very things that make him a hero. His entire brand revolves around them: he uses them to fight, to save, to gather intel. Without them, he's simply not a hero, because they're a fundamental part of him, of how he does his duty. The Commission made them his trademark, exploiting his trauma ("what are those wings for?") as a way to leash him. They trained him to exploit the potential in his quirk to the max, and then made it a focus for the public to latch onto and idolize. He's not just Hawks, he's the Wing Hero: Hawks. When he models, he puts them on display. When he's out in the streets, he lets fans get into his personal space and touch them, feel them up. And his admirers do. In their eyes, those wings become akin to Endeavor's flames or Kamui's branches. They're no longer seen as a mutation that makes him "subhuman", but as the very thing that makes him a hero.
But this is all a speculation on my part because Hawks' original design was different from its finalized version. Before the movie came out and Horikoshi had to scrap it, Hawks' original appearance had a bird head, feathered torso and arms, and bird-like claws for hands. And that makes me wonder: was he always supposed to be a beloved public figure? Was his background with the Commission all it took for him to breeze past the social stigma and become so popular? Or did Horikoshi sacrifice some of its initial plans for Hawks' character when he had to last-minute change his design?
Even without considering the redesign angle, I always thought Horikoshi missed the mark for giving us a bit more worldbuilding nuance when Hawks recruited Tokoyami as an intern.
Like. We know that individuals still get discriminated on because of their appearance and quirks to this day. As this chapter points out, it might be an issue that appears to be smoothed over by some more progressive choices (like Nedzu becoming UA's principal), but Nedzu's backstory itself tells us he was the victim of experimentations by humans. Shouji wears a mask for other people's comfort and Spinner was the victim of social ostracization and became an hikikomori.
The discrimination is still there, but it just evolved into something more rooted and less outright than bullying and religious or social oppression. At least in the city, mutants are now integrated well enough in society, but their needs are still not accommodated or even accounted for. This is why for example Shouji has to rip the sleeves off his uniform instead of getting one custom-made, or why there was that background character TV host who cut one of his horns not to block the viewer's sight of the screen behind him (and was praised as a dedicated professional for it). In other words, mutants are expected to conform to the standards for non-mutants, instead of society actually making any effort to be inclusive and accessible.
And all of this is fine and well as background worldbuilding information. But given how it's now becoming a plot point with its own subplot, I can't help but think we could've used some more set up for it.
One of the stated reasons why Hawks extends that internship offer to Tokoyami, despite not usually taking interns, is because "they're both birds". And of course part of this is just Hawks being Hawks. He's quirky and he makes a habit of throwing off people with his laidback and goofy act. But my point is, what if there was more to it? What if he saw a fellow mutant, a fellow flying-adjacent quirk he could help hone, and thought, "people like us already have it hard as it is. He's a mutant and one with a quirk that can potentially be seen as villainous. The League nearly captured him too, and the media ripped into that other kid to blame him for his own kidnapping. But by taking Tokoyami under my wing, I'm vouching for him. If he associates with me, an already established media sweetheart, it's less likely that anti-mutant sentiment will target him."
I mean, obviously Hawks still would've offered an internship to a class-A kid because he needed insight on the League. But Tokoyami isn't the only kid who can fly. Heck, Bakugou has been doing that with his explosions since day 1, and he was in the League's lair for a few days. Obviously, if intel and quirk compatibility were all Hawks was after, Tokoyami wasn't the sole option. Hawks wasn't looking just for wasted potential, either. Uraraka can float, she's similarly driven by challenges, and has never maxed out on her potential either. It's obvious to me that Hawks feels some kind of kinship for Tokoyami that he doesn't for the other kids. And I'm just saying, it would've been interesting if that was because of their roles as heroes and mutants in a society that is hostile to one but not the other.
Don't get me wrong. On his own, Spinner does bring up a lot of interesting things to the table. But he's meant to be an outsider, someone rebelling against the current state of things. So one thing he cannot portray is the pov of someone who is a cog in that machine. Hawks could've done that, and he could've shown us the double standard at play in all its glory.
Hawks is a mutant, but he "passes" as human—or human enough to be integrated fully. So he has privilege. But that privilege is artificial, since he started off at the bottom of the food chain and only rose into wealth and power thanks to government funding and sponsoring. Yet, at the same time, his integration is still conditional; it hinges on his performance, on adapting to society and its needs over his own, on being a hero through and through with no time to spare. On making his mutation a show that can sell, and that can be a tool for the people who invested time and resources into it. The respect he's given now is not inherent, but it ties directly into what he gives back to the society that "allowed" him to raise to number two. And he knows it. He very well knows it, and he protects his forged hero persona because he's aware it's the only thing standing between his current life and a return to homelessness, poverty and abuse.
Idk. I just think expanding on this would've added a lot to the story. It would've made it an issue to fix, rather than something that only affects "villains," because the heroes learn to deal with it and that makes them "plus ultra" as opposed to oppressed in a different way

Another one? This is weird, flattering, but weird.
Fumikage Tokoyami is not really used to having admirers, let alone ones who would send him letters or write him poems. So when he had received his first one he was genuinely confused, and thought it was probably a mistake.. if not a prank. But they kept coming on a regular basis, so maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a mistake.
It was still strange, who would possibly waste their precious time to send him letters after letters filled with words of praise and admiration accompanied by beautifully written poems? He couldn't tell. But even if it turned out to be a prank, he would still be grateful since someone actually cared enough to invest their time and energy in doing it. That's what he kept thinking.
What he failed to realize though, is that it was never a mistake, nor was it a prank.
What he failed to see was the way your cheeks flushed and your heart hammered in your chest everytime he passed you by.
You liked him so much, and had plenty of chances to confess, but never the courage to let him know.
You're shy and awkward, same as him, and that was part of why you kept your feelings a secret for so long. Besides, you two have been friends for years, and you feared losing him in case he didn't feel the same way about you, so you settled for being his good friend.
_ "Look I found another one, can you believe it?!" He shook his head in disbelief as he finally joined you for lunch.
_ "Oh, yeah?.. well, apparently someone truly likes you," you responded aloofly making sure to keep your focus solely on the food placed in front of you, "hey lunch break is almost over and our patrol is scheduled right after, so hurry up and eat." you had to change the subject.
Will you ever be able to tell him the truth? For a long while, that was the only question you had no answer to.
Until one day..
_ "Hi y/n, are you ready for the morning assembly?" you had just gotten into your costume and was waiting to receive your orders of the day when he joined you.
_ "Oh, hi.. umm.. yeah I'm ready." you didn't mean to sound flustered, but for some reason you couldn't control your reactions around him.
The meeting went by in a blur, and you couldn't for the life of you focus on any of the instructions given.
"I'm going to make a mess today, I can already feel it." is what you kept thinking to yourself.
And you were right, nothing went according to the orders you were given.
_ "Heads up y/n! What the hell are you doing?" your supervisor wasn't happy at all.
_ "I'm sorry! I'm on it!"
From the corner of your eye, you were able to see Tokoyami eying you anxiously, he was aware of your distress but couldn't understand its reason, so you had to get it together first and leave everything else for later..
_ "Y/n, can I talk to you for a minute?" he approached you, eyes filled with unanswered questions.
You had just changed out of your costume and was about to head home and try to forget everything that happened earlier, but his sudden appearance changed your plans.
_ "What.. yeah, sure. Do you want to head to the cafeteria?"
_ "Let's just leave, I'll walk you home and talk on the way."
You nodded and left the agency side by side with him.
Numerous thoughts had battled inside your head, what did he want from you? Did he find out about your secret crush on him? Did he want to scold you for messing up earlier? Or maybe it was none of that. Whatever it was, you wanted to hear it and get it over with.
_ "So, what is it Fumikage?" you tried to play it cool, offering him a smile as you asked.
_ "Are you feeling alright?" his tone was gentle, as usual, "you were distracted today and I was really worried."
Your eyes widened and your heartbeat quickened as his words sunk in. He was worried about you.
Should you get your hopes up? Obviously none of it would mean anything if you don't gather your courage to confess your feelings.
_ "I'm fine Fumikage I promise, thank you for checking in on me." you took a deep breath and looked away from him before asking, "so, have you received any new letters?" you obviously knew the answer to your own question but you couldn't find any other way to bring up the subject.
_ "Oh, yeah, they're coming in as usual." he responded awkwardly, looking down at his feet.
You felt a little bolder so you decided to go a bit further, "what if one day you find out their identity? Or better yet, what if they finally decide to confess their love properly?"
_ "That's never going to happen." he sounded unusually stern, but there was a hint of something else that you couldn't quite understand, "I still don't think it's real." was he hurt? Disappointed? Both? Whatever it was, you hated it.
You wanted to let him know the truth more than anything else: "Fumikage.."
_ "Yeah?"
_ ".. No, never mind." you were still not confident enough for such a huge step, and telling him something important so casually like you were about to didn't seem right.
_ "It's fine you can tell me anything." his voice was warm like it's always been when addressing you. What more did you need?
_ "It was me.. the one who keeps sending you letters, that's me." you were a bundle of nerves as you finally confessed your biggest secret.
_ "Was it fun for you?" his tone had changed, "did you have a good laugh?"
What was happening? "Fumikage.."
_ "No no, that's fine, I was right after all." he raised his arms defensively and took a step back, "it was a prank, that's what friends do to each other right?"
You opened your mouth to explain yourself but it was too late, he turned around and walked away already, leaving you all alone..
Why did he react the way he did? Why did he misunderstand you?
You wanted to follow him but your body was stiff and your vision was blurry. You couldn't even tell when your tears started falling..
Things changed ever since that evening. He started avoiding you, not even a greeting or a polite head bow. You wanted to talk to him, to tell him that you were serious but he gave you no chance to do so.
You hated losing him so easily, if he didn't return your feelings, than you were to be content with your life long friendship. If only he would give you a chance to explain yourself.
_ "Oh, hi. What are you doing here?" he was startled as he found you outside his appartement one evening.
_ "Can we talk please?" you stood nervously half expecting him to shut the door on your face, but he didn't. His eyes traveled down to the cute little flower bouquet you held in your hands.
_ "Yeah sure." he stepped aside allowing you to walk in.
_ "This is for you by the way, a peace offering." you handed him the bouquet as soon as he closed the door behind you two.
_ "Thank you, but you didn't have to do any of this." he declared, placing it on the dining room table.
_ "Yes I did! This is the least I can do after hurting you that day! But please allow me to explain, it's really not what you think." you were desperate.
He looked at you for a moment but said nothing, and simply gestured you to carry on.
_ "I truly like you, not just as a friend but so much more", you took a few steps towards him as you decided to keep nothing in, "the reason why I haven't told you for so long was because I was.. scared." your voice trailed off and your eyes traveled down to your feet.
_ "Scared? Why would you be?"
_ "It's because I wasn't sure of how you would react, I honestly didn't want to lose my best friend, but I'm afraid I already have." you wanted to cry at that point, but forced your tears back before he took notice.
_ "I feel like an idiot." he chuckled nervously, "I was a jerk to you and didn't take your confession seriously, I'm really sorry for the way I acted."
Your face finally lit up after days of suffering, but for some reason you could no longer hold your tears back.
It was at that moment that he realized how serious you were about him.
_ "So, do you want to go out on a date with me? Say, tomorrow after work?" he cautiously requested, as he gently wiped your tears away.
_ "Ye.. yes, yes I do." it was the last thing you expected to hear him say. But not only did you have your best friend back, you also had a chance to go on a date with him. You were the happiest person alive.
What you failed to realize though, was that your feelings have always been mutual. And at that moment, he too was as happy as you were.

Hey Quirkwizard, I'll get straight to the point this time. What if the Sludge Villain was in the Sports Festival? How would he fare in the different parts of it and how would his fights go? Thanks in advance and hope you are doing well.
And I hope you are doing good as well. Oddly enough, out of all the characters, this is the one of the few I consistently think about, so thanks for asking about it.
Tumblr media
He does pretty well in the race. He could easily slither around the massive crowd and the giant robots to get a head start. Then he'd coil around the various tight ropes. The minefield could be a serious issue, but he could always try to piggyback another person or extend parts of his body out to test the area. Then there is the Calvary Battle, which he'd do good in as well. As the rider, he could constantly morph himself around to avoid the headband from getting stolen and engulf his teammates to keep himself grounded and protect them. It'd be like if Dark Shadow were the rider of the team.
As for the fights, Sludge Villain does a pretty good job, mostly winning via grapple. Tetsutetsu and Kirishima can't really hurt him and are in a really bad spot with how close they need to get. Sero and Ibara can't really get a good grip on him to tie him up. Aoyama can't output enough consistent, wide spread to take him down. Iida is more likely to slip up than push him out of the ring. Uraraka can't do much either, as I think that "Sludge Body" would work a lot like "Sandstorm" with contact Quirks. And I really don't think Bakguou could do much, even if he knew he was fighting the Sludge Villain given his power at this point.
It's a coin flip for Shinso and Momo. Sludge Villian could win against them, but it depends a lot on his personality and whatever Momo can cook up to try and counter the sludge body. The same goes with Tokoyami. I think it'd be pretty hard to get around Dark Shadow, but I doubt Dark Shadow could put out the damage to really to Sludge Villain down, effectively stalemating. We know that Mina is a hard counter to him and could easily win, though she may not go that far in a setting like this. Denki, Shoto, and Izuku are all pretty certain victories, shocking him unconscious, freezing him in ice, or simply blowing him to pieces again.

I like ignoring Tokoyami and Hawks canon relationship for angst reasons mostly. Anyway, imagine how tiring Hawks must be/must've been for Tokoyami and Dark Shadow.
Sure, Hawks is truly no different than any of their hyperactive classmates whom they can work with without issue, but this is a young adult whos swarmed by paparazzi all the time and probably has his own fragrance line for some fancy perfume/cologne company. At some point, its tiring. Also the physical bit of running after Hawks originally. Yes Tokoyami regularly does training n shit for class, but fuck man he can only do so much before it becomes unhealthy for him.
Tokoyami and Dark Shadow were probably fucking exhausted trying to keep up with Hawks. Physically, as well as trying to keep up with how rapidly he has to switch gears for fans. Like, obviously running is tiresome, but just trying to exist in the space of a whole celebrity when you're not exactly the most extraverted of you're classmates is hard. Plus paparazzi = bright flashing lights. Not good for Dark Shadow nor Tokoyamis eyes.
Hawks likely didn't notice. I know he's not fuckin stupid, he's intelligent, but he likely didn't care as much abt his intern slowly but surely becoming more and more uncomfortable with being around him. He might be a lil hurt, but he has his own act to keep up, he can't exactly worry abt his interns own mask slipping.
Tokoyami stops trying to even make humming sounds or facial reactions to Hawks typical antics. He's stimming a lot more to keep himself and Dark Shadow from losing it. If he was blunt before, hes even more blunt cause he can't use mental energy to fake a nicer tone, all that energy goes to not exploding the second Hawks opens his mouth.
Idk man somethin somethin bird bros angst

After the training, he was dedicated to surpassing you
You? Already a pro hero when you’re the same age as him?
No can do, he will try to get you to spill how you managed to get a licence without going to hero school.
But after you explain to him that it's confidential information, he will reluctantly stop asking you.
He will ask you to spar with him though
Better be ready for this blasty boy to be all over you trying to one you up.

Was amazed at you
A pro at your age? You are basically his other idol after all might
Definitely sooo happy to have met you. Like a fanboying type happy, you were probably like his “if (p/h/n) was able to do it at such a young age, then so can I!”

Shoto Todoroki

You were probably someone his father compared to him to while in UA
“Shoto, look at (p/h/n) already a pro hero and climbing the ranks, and they’re the same age as you!” - Endeavor
After you answered his question about becoming a hero without hero school, He often would ask you to give him hero tips as well.
He used to see you as just someone to surpass, but after you told him about the villain fights you’ve had, you had earned his respect. 
He also asks you to spar with him in your free time.
Tenya Iida
Apparently, his brother Tensei has had the opportunity to work with you before. 
He told Tenya about you and how it would have been a great opportunity for you and him to meet,
Lo and behold, you both have met
Tenya told you about his brother and you went on to talk about how his brother did mention Tenya to you while on the mission. 
Tenya and you get along quite well, you like telling him stories about your missions when you have time.
Eijiro Kirishima
When you introduced yourself as the same age as his class, he was star struck.

All-Time Popularity poll ranking 1st-7th polls (Part 1 - Top 20)
I made an “all-time ranking table” based on the popularity polls held so far. The methodology is simple - every “rank” is worth a point. So 1st gets 50, 2nd 49... and so forth until 50th gets 1 point. 
Tumblr media
We all know the Top 1, Top 3, Top 5 - so I was mostly curious of the evolution of the mid ranks. Here are the results:
Top 1-20
Tumblr media
So here are some interesting tidbits:
- 1-3 Bakugou-Deku-Todoroki trinity is very very stable, there has never been another character in the Top 3.
- 4-5 is a very tight race between Kirishima and Iida, with a slight edge to Kirishima. On the other hand Iida is the only other character than the Origin Trio who has always been in the Top 10 (Kirishima didn't make the first one)
-  Hawks follows them very closely as highest ranked Pro Hero. Also, he's the character with the highest entry point into the polls (4th place!). He's definitely a contender for all time Top 5 spot.
-  Aizawa is the highest ranked teacher (and only slipped out the top 10 once), while All Might's popularity has been fading somewhat, but he's still a stable Top 15 Character.
-  The 9th and 10th place goes to Ochako and Momo - Ochako peaked early, while Momo had a surge around the 4-5th polls. They are both very stable in the Top 20
- Kaminari's all-time popularity seems to be extremely enduring regardless of lack of content or character focus. He hovers at 11th place, always close to the Top 10.
-  Shigaraki Tomura is the highest ranked villain at 12. His popularity peaked at the 5th and 6th polls when he made Top 10.
-  Shinsou is the highest non-Class A student at 13. He made Top 10 twice despite the limited focus.
-  14-15 th is Jirou and Tsuyu. Jirou made Top 10 on the 2nd poll and has been stable Top 20. Tsu started strong, but her popularity have been declining. 
4 of the 6 class A girls are all-time Top 20. Not bad.
-  Tokoyami's 16th place is also mostly due to his early popularity. He's the 7th boy from Class A in the all-time Top 20 and the 11th Class A student. 
11/20 Class A kids are all-time Top 20.
-  17th is Present Mic who has been rising steadily in popularity. He made Top 10 on the 7th poll.
-  Endeavor's 18th place has been due to his low ranking on introduction. He made Top 10 on the 4th and 6th polls and has been a stable Top 15 for a while. 
That makes 5 pro heroes in the Top 20. 
19th place is Toga. 
This makes two Top 20 villains. 
- the WTF of the list is Yo Shindou, who is somehow at the 20th place. He’s also highest-ranked non-UA student. 
Fun fact - if we include Rody Soul’s one-time Top 10 spot, he makes the list, and Shindou gets kicked off from 20th place. Also that makes Rody Soul the only Top 10 movie-only character.

AU where Midoriya isn't able to convince Bakugou to work with him during the finals
1- Izuku tries. You can't say he doesn't try. But Bakugo would rather lose, and Izuku can't beat All Might right now. To win, he has to leave the exam.
2- he doesn't go directly for the door- All Might is expecting him to be reasonable and try. Instead he vanishes down a side alleyway, taking a post of the fence All Might threw at him.
All Might expects a sneak attack and stays prepared, covering his weak side, but by the time he realizes Izuku has snuck around and back, Izuku's too close to the exit and makes it just through in time.
3- Izuku passes the exam. He got through on time, he has to. It's just a matter of of Bakugo will or not. All Might, RG, and Aizawa discuss. Aizawa shrugs and says pass both, even if he prefers them to have worked together. All Might honestly doesn't feel good about Izuku running, it feels antithetical. RG frowns at both of them, and strongly disagrees. She's the one who watched the entire exam, and Izuku finally did what she told him he needed to do at the SF, and also tried to work with Bakugo, but he just refused to. All Might thinks about about the start of the year, how Izuku almost told him about OfA, and has to agree. The decide to pass Izuku, and fail Bakugo, and Aizawa prepared a set of noice cancelling headphones to deal with his reaction in class.
4- When the League attacks the camp, they know one of their targets is in the lounge, and warps in closer to there. Kouta is never near Muscular - until Izuku carries him there, as the students sent back to the lounge realize it's on fire. The remedial students inside all got out safely, but then had to fend off further attackers. It's utter chaos, with half the students focused on the lounge and slowly beating the villains back, and the other half slowly dropping to sleep in the woods after Ragdoll was taken.
In the aftermath, the villains forced to leave at Kurogiri's pickup, they don't take Bakugo. But they do take Tokoyami, snatched up by Compress in the woods.
5- some things do not change. Izuku is going to help the rescue team. This is not an exam. AfO will not leave Tokoyami alone if Izuku sneaks away. This is the villain Izuku has to face, and he will save his friend along the way. Some things do change. Aoyama, a dear friend taken, wavers more.
And Bakugo, pride twice burned because he failed his exam and he doesn't get why, because he and everyone else at the lounge heard that the League was after him mostly, a target, a victim, a failure - Bakugo goes to Izuku and says Izuku isn't running this time. He's going to help Bakugo beat the villains and get Tokoyami while Bakugo blows Tomura to smithereens. Which, Izuku was already going to go with the rescue team. But if Bakugo is going to start helping now, well, they'll take him for any extra fire power they can get.

How do you guys think the MHA boys (Iida, Bakugo, Kaminari ect.) would be around a S/o that had a moderatly powerful quirk, on around the same power level as Mina. Where their quirk fails them they make up for it with agility. Basically, how would they act around an S/o like that, she's not bullied or anything but mostly keeps to herself unless she's around someone she knows? This is my 1st time making a request, so I'm sorry if it doesn't make much sense
Iida: He admires her dedication to training her weaknesses and making up for their quirk with technique and physical ability. He doesn’t doubt her ability, but is highly motivated to keep her safe. 
Bakugo: Everyone is surprised that he doesn’t call her a weakling. He acknowledges her strengths and dedication, and respects it. He will act to protect her, but expects her to do the same. The thing he defends her from most aggressively is the opinions of others. (I don’t think he’d have a partner that he doesn’t consider an equal in some way)
Kaminari: He’s sweet but kind of scared. He worries over her, and fears that he won’t be good enough to protect her. He admires her strength and passion, and wants to live up to the standard she sets.
Sero: They are a good team. Sero likes working together with her to find creative solutions to problems. Overall, they have a well-balanced and amiable relationship.
Tokoyami: The two of them interact cordially, both Tokoyami and her prefer the title “partner”. Tokoyami respects her as a partner and ally, and doesn’t try to restrict her by being overly protective. However, he has strong protective instincts toward her which can easily trigger his power to become unstable. Her patience and level-headedness help keep him in check. 
Midoriya: He thinks her power is really cool, and is always asking questions about how it works, what she can do, and how she accommodates weaknesses or drawbacks. She entertains his curiosity but she doesn’t see her power as overly remarkable, but is flattered by his interest. He can be awkward around her in more romantic or social situations despite being assured of her affection. When it comes to combat, he doesn’t treat her any differently than his other classmates, making good use of her unique talents and ensuring her safety at the cost of himself.
Aoyama: He showers her with poetic compliments and roses, he is always super extra in his frequent declarations of affection. He constantly reminds her that her power is fine and that the way she uses it is “magnifique.” She is a little uncomfortable with how much attention he draws to them whenever they are in public, but he reminds her that she is beautiful and those who are beautiful should shine. 
Ojiro: He sometimes feels inferior when he compares himself to her, but she feels the same way. They learn from each other about combat skills and effective movements. They aren’t overly flashy as a couple, they mostly enjoy quiet company. They like to work out together.
Koda: He hides behind her frequently, but she is patient and encouraging. She uses her powers to protect him when he’s too scared to act. She makes him want to try harder and be better. When she needs him, he steps up. 
Kirishima: He admires how hard she works to compensate for her lack of physical power. They are basically all of the couple fitness goals videos, they love to work out together and have a fair amount of healthy competition in their performance. They’re an effective team, his power, and durability are complimented by her agility and versatility. He likes to do things for her, not because he thinks she can’t, but because he likes to be chivalrous, he shows his affection through acts of service.
Shoji: He feels deeply honored to have her, he often feels particularly unworthy. She admires his strength and versatility and wishes he would be more confident in their relationship. He is quiet but shows his affection through physical touch and acts of service. He worries about her, and cares fiercely about her safety and wellbeing. 
Sato: He is a major sweetie around her, gentle and cuddly. He likes to make her smile with his baking. She is the brains of this relationship, especially in combat. She makes plans and keeps him from burning out, and saves him from danger when he hits his limits. Often he overexerts himself trying to protect her, resulting in her having to get them both out of trouble. He admires how she has overcome her own weaknesses and wants to find a way to thank her for all she does for him.
Todoroki: He is protective of her and is always asking if she’s okay. he constantly thinks about his parents’ relationship and worries about her getting hurt, psychologically or physically. This sometimes gets on her nerves, but when he opens up to her about his family she is understanding. She constantly feels like she needs to prove herself to him, that she is strong and capable. Despite their difficulties, they are working on communicating and having a stable relationship.
Mineta: There’s no world where he actually has an S/O.

Dark Shadow is eerily good at judging someone’s character from just a glance and gets along well with just about anyone. There are some people though that Dark Shadow will despise for no good reason. Here is a reminder that DS has very black and white thinking, so they will either love you and protect you with their life…or they will hate you with every ounce of their being and dance on your grave.
The biggest problem dark shadow has is their “Ego” it’s not so much a problem that they think they are all powerful, but it is a problem when someone is more powerful than them. Dark Shadow defines their worth on how useful they are, if someone holds their weakness (light) then they become disillusioned and fearful. If this person can defeat them then tokoyami is defenseless and it scares them that someone could hurt tokoyami. I suppose it’s more about dark shadows fear of the people they care about getting hurt then anything else.
And when ds is afraid they can become aggressive. The aggressiveness can manifest as direct antagonization to try and assert dominance over this person they see as a threat. Examples like growling and making themself bigger when the person approaches is common but ds can also just say mean words to make them leave them alone.
Their fear can also manifest as timidity. Their timidness is an effort to show submissive behavior because they are convinced the person has already defeated them and has accepted being inferior to them. Avoiding eye contact, becoming smaller, being quiet or not speaking at all, and even fleeing the room or returning to Tokoyami’s body are examples of this.
Dark Shadow has immediate distrust of new people they meet and don’t speak to them until they have gotten to know tokoyami already. When tokoyami first came to UA ds rarely showed their face much less spoke. This a temporary adjustment period though and was born out of being feared for their whole life, much like how shoji wears his mask to avoid scaring people ds also hid themself. (After being at UA for a year and finally having friends that are not only understanding but genuinely like being around them, they will gain a lot more confidence and be unapologetic about being out)
As far as specific people Dark shadow dislikes there are a few I can think of off the top of my head.
Endeavor(unresolved)-ds has never met endeavor personally but mixing an aggressive man known for beating kids (todoroki is one of ds’s friends which they are protective of) with an insanely powerful fire quirk and ds already has rage boiling at the thought of the man
Bakugo(unresolved)-bakugo is also an aggressive person with a fire quirk, even though they have very similar personalities ds will pick fights with him
Shihai Kuroiro(unresolved)-vantablack possessed ds that one time, they have not forgiven or forgotten. Will not let him near them no mater how many times he apologizes
There are also some people Shadow used to fear but have been able to accept
Aoyama(???)- **SPOILERS about the manga for post season 6 of the anime!** ds cannot really get near him without pain due to his lazer leaking. They also sensed something “off” about him but when they told tokoyami about the weird stuff he does at night tokoyami just brushed him off. Ds did reluctantly get to know Aoyama though and they are very similar in their flamboyant personalities and will tease each other in a friendly manner…ds still wasn’t surprised when he was revealed and got a big fat I TOLD YOU SO…but it was bittersweet, ds has forgiveness in their heart though (maybe)
Aizawa(resolved)-aizawa can erase quirks, ds would behave as much as possible around him but when his job is to teach heroics they quickly had to get over this fear. It was mostly due to that aizawa is so perceptive and noticed ds was sentient and started treating them with more respect
Kinoko Komori(resolved)-let it be known that ds can definitely hold a grudge. They were seriously worried about tokoyami after he inhaled those spores during the training exercise, but quite frankly kinoko was so genuinely apologetic and nice afterwards they pretty much forgave her right away. It probably helps that Shadow themself was never actually defeated (ds would knock her tf out if she ever tried it again, she really isn’t a threat in their mind)
Todoroki(resolved)- todoroki is one of Shadows good friends, but sometimes his fire reminds them of dabi, both ds and tokoyami get triggered sometimes and can be put off from training or hanging out with him. Todoroki (the angel that he is) knows this and talked with them about it. Things are ok now.
Also just because dark shadow has unresolved issues with some people doesn’t mean they will never be resolved. They are just taking longer to get there.
