OKAY i couldn't actually find my last himiko starter call for some reason so HERE'S A NEW ONE!! like this post for something from himiko, etc <3333

"I mean... I really don't, honestly."

Koichi's response to Hiromasa isn't exactly what one might call tactful, but it is, at the very least, true. Koichi may technically be a hero, but he's still one who's not allowed to act in Japan quite yet - with particular exceptions, and hopefully not for much longer, but still!

That isn't the main reason he's staying, though. When he looks at the kid in front of him, Koichi sees someone who's clearly been hurt - it's obvious from the ugly bruises covering his face, but just as much so from that frustrated look in his eyes. Koichi might not have the context to know where that pain is stemming from, but... how could he leave him on his own, seeing that?

"But that's not the point! I'm not just gonna walk away after seeing how hurt you are." It's obvious to Koichi, not even worth questioning. But... maybe that isn't so obvious to Hiromasa himself. Not everyone sees themselves as deserving of help - that's something Koichi's always found hard to understand, but that he's come to realize a little more since the days of his youth.

"Don't worry about it, okay? I'm exactly where I need to be." Koichi says earnestly, putting on the best reassuring expression he's got. "...But man, you really took a beating, huh? Does this sort of thing happen often?"

TOMURA HOURS............... i love him so much you guys!! i can't handle it!

❝ Oh no! I don't mind, honest, so please don't feel bad about it! ❞

His head shook at that, tossing green locks in the process. Scarred hands are raised to sway rhythmically back and forth.

❝ I'm just glad I was able to help you out. When you first called me to talk, I was a little worried something bad had happened. But you know I'm always here for you if you need somebody to listen or talk to. I think you're really amazing, that even now, you're still fighting for her. She's lucky to have you in her corner, Ochako. ❞

For her sake, he hopes it all works out. That her bleeding heart, a thing they had in common, could reach her. Perhaps she could be the light Toga so desperately needed in her life and a path forward. While he wasn't sure what the future would hold for either of them or himself, he hoped it was a happy one, even if Himiko wouldn't be able to evade the justice system for long.

❝ You really are incredible, you know that? I've always thought that about you, but you just never seem to stop surprising me. I know no matter what you decide to do, you will be able to accomplish it. ❞

The air felt just a bit lighter now. A weight off both their shoulders as they found somebody to confide these bubbling feelings in. Suffocating emotions that threatened to swallow them whole. A mix of hope and fear. Well, there was no point in spending the rest of their night drowning in the what-ifs. If they do that, this entire conversation would just loop back around all over again. It was best to end it on a positive note rather than mull over it too long.

Emerald eyes closed for a moment, taking in a breath before going to stand up. Reaching out with an outstretched hand in her direction.

❝ Why don't we go get something to eat? It will be my treat. ❞

"Izuku..."

Ochako feels her face reddening a little as Izuku calls her incredible, and she's filled with a funny mix of feelings - embarrassment, joy, and gratitude all at once. It's hard for her to see herself as the person who's as amazing as Izuku seems to think she is, but hearing his words, Ochako still feels so happy - like maybe she's doing something right after all. It makes her even more sure that she's making the right decision.

"Ehehehe... thank you. You're the same, you know?" she replies. Maybe a year ago, she might've been too flustered to respond properly - and even now, she's obviously bashful, but... she wants to be able to express her feelings properly too.

"I mean! You're always fighting so hard, no matter how hard it gets... and it makes me want to try harder, too. I've learned a lot just from watching you..." And oh, gosh - now Ochako is getting embarrassed. Did she say too much? Well, it's probably fine, since she's just responding to Izuku's words, but still!

"Ah- yeah! That sounds great - I'm hungry already!" Ochako declares, pumping a fist in the air enthusiastically as well. In spite of her initial fears, this whole conversation ended up making her feel lighter after all... it's a different kind of weightlessness to the kind she's so used to, of course, but it fills her with a buzz of energy all the same.

"You've been working real hard lately too, haven't you? We've got a lot to figure out, but there's no point doing anything on an empty stomach!"

I MISSED HER BIRTHDAY BY ONE DAY...!!!! noooooooooo i'm so sorry my girl... anyway happy belated birthday to pop - i just started thinking about her again today and i hadn't realized it was so close, tbh!

[herostoried]

Thinking about a "characters find out they're reincarnations/remember past lives" scenario again but specifically with like. aizawa, toshinori, ochako and hagakure???? which is a really random combination of characters but i'm strangely drawn to it today, lol..........

[herostoried]

VILLAIN HAGAKURE AUS...... POTENTIAL HAGAKURE & COMPRESS DYNAMICS.................... i am thinking about them again rn!! and yes i still have no actual ideas so i can't do anything with the concepts yet but. this time. THIS TIME I'LL MAKE PROGRESS I BELIEVE-

[herostoried]

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS. I GOT MIRKO IN MHUR ON MY FIRST TEN ROLL?????????? WHAT THE FUCK.

[herostoried]

hehehe......... new tsuyu starter call time. c:<

[herostoried]

THINKING ABOUT TSUYU AND AIZAWA AGAIN ACTUALLY.................. she is his Dottir actually. i don't make the rules!!

[herostoried]

was reading a stray reddit thread with people talking about endings in stories they dislike and mha was brought up, specifically for being all about changing the status quo but ending up sticking to it in the end. which as you all know i do kind of agree with to a large extent (the lov should've lived!! etc!), but what's interesting is that i saw someone cite a youtuber as someone who has a good video/videos on the topic??

so now i kind of want to. check out that video.................. mostly out of genuine curiosity, because i think there is a lot i'd likely agree with & i'd love to get a better understanding of how the ending is perceived by people who see mha as a total letdown, like in terms of the specific issues people have??

but also my moral ocd and anxiety have kicked in so i'm afraid i'd either like. be completely unable to be objective (because i still find value in the series and don't want to feel bad for liking it, etc etc, the usual stuff!) or it would tank my mood and/or in a worst case scenario, completely destroy any enjoyment i get from the show as i realize all my reasons to like it are Invalid..... kndfkjngkdjg. so i'm kind of like... is it worth it???yet at the same time the idea of specifically avoiding the video (& avoiding mha ending criticisms in general) for that reason kind of pisses me off??? like i don't want to be a person who can't take disagreement or listen to differing opinions on the shows i enjoy just because it makes me feel bad. lol

[herostoried]

it's ochako starter call time!!! like this post for a starter from THE best girl herself - & this is open to all mutuals regardless of what we've already got going on, as always!

SHOTO AND OCHAKO FRIENDSHIP MY BELOVED................. i just woke up and i am having a lot of thoughts about them all at once?? i'd love to do something with like. very early series (s1-2 era) shoto and ochako interacting, maybe being forced to work together for whatever reason and slowly starting to connect....... idk if it'd be a fic or thread or what, but. this is what my brain has decided to fixate on this morning!
