new Aizawa headcanon/plot idea
One of the many, many things that has long made Aizawa so very, very tired is that, since the days covered in Vigilantes, he has always made time to visit a handful of folks in his old neighborhood, folks with quirks that cause them constant suffering
(Although the revelations about Kurogiri have softened his stance on this, one reason why he is not as patient with villains as some is that he knows there are so many people resisting the beastlier sides of their natures, people trying to live the best lives they can in the margins and shadows, people who are losers in the great quirk lottery of life and have every right to rage...but don't.)
The one he worries about most is an older lady with a difficult-to-control Empathy quirk that forces her to feel the feelings of every single person she encounters. The research he did as a young man suggested that most people who have this type of Empathy quirk do not come to happy ends. He hopes the good people he still keeps up with in the neighborhood are checking on her.
The first time he visited her, he'd told Koichi to instruct her to sit by an open window (he might not have known how to deal with his emotional baggage, but he at least knew he had it, so he wasn't going to dare get near her). From a distance, he watched her start crying tears of joy when he shut her quirk off and then he watched for as long as he could as she nodded off into a restful sleep. The next day, Koichi had found him to convey her thanks. Aizawa didn't know what to say then, and he didn't know what to say now. He hadn't earned Erasure as some reward for being a decent guy or because he had had a burning desire to help others. It was just part of him, and he used it. Was that really worthy of thanks?
It's a shame that Twice wasn't on their side...he would love to be able to send clones of himself to provide relief to anyone who needed it. Aizawa knows his first duties are to 1-A, to Eri, to defeating the LoV, but it kills him to know that his "folks" are once again falling through the cracks, suffering because they're just regular people, and he's got to handle the so-called bigger things. Their faces have joined Crust's in his mind as he struggles to sleep. Without him, there isn't even a little relief for them. Even worse, a thought that had, of course, occurred to him before--and been summarily dismissed--keeps on gnawing at him and refusing to go away:
Does he have a...moral duty to pass Erasure on?
(obviously there's a lot of Aizawa fic out there in the world and there are, of course, no truly new ideas under the sun...I've never seen something precisely along these lines before, but that doesn't really mean much, so if there is something out there like this, please let me know so I can revise this post with the rec, thanks!)

lolol i got that california DOJ newsletter and there’s a picture of the google building in it and i was so!!! “I BUILT THAT!!! that’s us!!!” and then i saw the headline is ‘suing google for unfair monopoly’ so this isn’t about how cool the building we built them is, huh, that’s fine, i get it, it’s cool you don’t have to say anything about it
like they lifted the roof with cranes and stuff, but like, it’s fine. we don’t have to make a big deal out of it.

explaining chainsaw man part 1: "you know, when you're 16 and also a boy it really does feel like every girl you try to talk to wants to murder you and like there are chainsaws shattering your body to bits every single day"
explaining chainsaw man part 2: "you know, when you're 16 and also a girl it really does feel like you can't take two steps without tripping and like the only person who wants to talk to you is the bloodthirsty demon possessing your body"
