If Tokoyami would ever be a music producer/singer he'd probably be like Hozier but much darker

This is true

100%

I’d like to think that he went to Present Mic to learn how to balance his hero career and a music career lol. Also Jirou def features on his albums

I think one of their collabs would sound like “In a Week” by Hozier

So how does an umbilical cord work? From what I get from the Internet is that it will fall off 1 to 3 weeks after birth. So that mean we don't have our umbilical cord anymore right?

But since Dark Shadow connects to Tokoyami by an umbilical cord, does this mean Dark Shadow could have exist ever since Tokoyami was a baby? That is the reason Tokoyami still has an umbilical cord.

I honestly don't know I just made this up and I don't know biology.

[cryptidfumikage]

my theory is that they were meant to be twins, but dark shadow didn’t make it and became tokoyami’s quirk. i’ve seen this theory quite a bit and i think it’s interesting!

it reminds me a little bit of the video game beyond: two souls, actually. the mc has supernatural powers because of her twin and they’ve been attached since birth.

tokoyami the type of guy to use the word 'befuddle'

[butterflypeaflowertea]

every single day i think about how horribly rumi’s poems have been translated from persian into english & how they’ve been turned from gorgeous poems abt islamic spirituality into these… pithy vapid little quotes that white people post as instagram captions. white scholars & translators straight-up falsified and misrepresented the essential themes of and islamic mysticism inherent to his work in favor of turning it into easy-to-consume love poetry & it never fails to make me angry

[butterflypeaflowertea]

here’s a good thread to read through abt this exact topic as a start !!

[lothloriien]

because i know most of you can’t be bothered to look at the thread:

[royalhandmaidens]

take a time to read through the thread if you can!!

most of the ‘sufi poetry’ or works by rumi you’ll read in school or find at any book store or online is just a bunch of this orientalist garbage that not only mistranslates, but intentionally puts forward a colonialist, orientalist mindset that you consume without knowing it

[royalhandmaidens]

i’m sorry i’m still not over this butchery ^^^^^^^

Sketching my favorite bird boy

(I have a headcanon that he can see and sense spirits some way or another because of DS, and the old spirits are pretty fond of him and that's how he got his fancy speech patterns lol)

[birdhouse-of-shadows]

Do you have any Dadzawa & Tokoyami ideas/headcanons? I’m in desperate need of inspiration—

I do! I have many! Especially after Eri being adopted into the family :)

- These two definitely have nap times together. Tokoyami probably has a hard time sleeping at night, so he gets sleepy during the day. I imagine if the students have a study hall he just goes into the staff break room and takes a nap with Aizawa. (They both probably have sleeping bags, so whenever people go in the break room there just two giant worms on the floor)

- Aizawa just gets up at the most random hours of the night to sit in the common room because hes developed a "Tokoyami" sense. He just sits down there and it only takes a few minutes before Tokoyami shows up. He always offers Toko a chance to talk about whatever woke him up and sometimes they have midnight therapy sessions :)

- If Aizawa needs a backup babysitter its 100% Tokoyami and Shinso. These two are absolute gods at babysitting. He trusts them so much because hes seen how these two have matured, and knows that if anything happens Eri will not be in danger.

- Tim Burton movie nights

- Barbie movie nights(ft. Eri)

- Slasher movie nights (ft. Kuroiro)

- Secret romance movie nights (ft. Bakugou)

- Aizawa thinks of Dark Shadow as one of his students as well. He has also threatened DS with having to write papers if he didn't behave during training.

- (Once Aizawa called DS Tokoyami's brother and Toko was so happy he almost started crying)

This is all I have for now, but if I think of any more I will post them! I hope you enjoy :)

please tell me im not the only one who remembers that photoset/gif that went around where it has the final scenes of death note where light is trying to defend himself but someone replaced the text so it was him teaching them how to swim

tokoyami birthday hcs

happy birthday to everyone’s favorite emo bird boy 🥳 i’m not in the halloween spirit too much this year but i have some headcanons to celebrate 🎃🖤 all SFW and gender neutral!

hates when people sing happy birthday… halloween is a perfect opportunity to make everything spooky and dark. happy birthday can only be sung as a Gregorian chant, no exceptions

with that being said, dark shadow LOVES the holiday!!! they love to do matching costumes with tokoyami, who doesn’t admit it out loud but he secretly thinks it’s adorable that dark shadow gets so in the spirit

dark shadow’s favorite part is giving out candy to trick or treaters. he might scare some kids but to the ones who don’t run away, he makes sure to compliment them on their costumes and make them laugh/smile 🥲 dark shadow is baby

if you give tokoyami birthday gifts - it could be anything from a guitar to a cool rock you found outside - he will cherish it forever. just the fact that you thought of him is enough.

a random interaction I can totally see happening:

kaminari: happy BIRDday tokoyami! 😜

tokoyami: *sarcastically* haha, very funny…

shouji: the years really do FLY by…

tokoyami: more bird puns?

jiro: here tokoyami, take this card as a TOUCAN of my appreciation 😉

tokoyami: 😑

hawks: hey there!

sero: oh hawks! where’d you come from?

hawks: you know OWL always be around for my favorite intern!

tokoyami: i’m your only intern…

todoroki: i guess you exceed his exPECKtations

kuroriro: this must make you pretty EMUtional

tokoyami: i’m leaving…

hawks: aw, why??

tokoyami: BEAKause you guys are annoying

bakugo: alright, alright, you’ve all made your points… enough of the wise QUACKS

kirishima: bakubro you CRACK me up!

tokoyami: *gets up to leave*

deku: oh no, looks like he’s MIGRATING away! 😃

everyone: *crickets chirping*

mina: … well this is CAWkward

tokoyami: *sigh* why do i tolerate you people

tokoyami: *internally* I love these nerds so much… 🥲

tokoyami totally dresses up for his birthday and probably hosts a party. he’s usually something dark and cool, like a victorian-era vampire. but if you wanna do some kind of cute friend/couple costume, he’s down!

potentially cute options: jack and sally from nightmare before christmas, sweeney todd and mrs. lovett, erik and christine from phantom of the opera (I’ve mentioned this before but I hc that he loves this movie/musical), jekyll and hyde, he’s mostly into the spooky stuff so don’t be surprised if he turns down any comedic or overly cute costume ideas.

he’s a sucker for romance on the low, so if you prepare some sort of date night for him he will die on the inside. a nice candlelit dinner with his favorite horror flicks afterwards is all it takes.

depending on how close you are to him, tokoyami might let down his walls and verbalize how grateful he is to have you in his life. he won’t cry but he may get a little teary-eyed. he feels so loved and valued just from you remembering his birthday and taking the time to celebrate it with him.
