Commission: MHA Group Acroyoga

Commission I did of the kids from class 1-A doing acroyoga (I had never heard of acroyoga before I did this commission, so hopefully I got it right!) The hardest thing was finding photo reference. Could not find any with the correct number of people or accurate gender ratio. Hopefully it looks ok!

This morning I posted a new chapter on a WIP I've been updating about monthly after a long hiatus. Last update was a little over a month ago.

I've worked hard to get this update ready for today. My plan was actually to update 3 of my WIPs, but I just couldn't find the time. My stocking season was pretty busy, as was work, and if it's a tie between catching a bit of sleep or writing, I need to choose sleep. It's not like I can write worth a damn when I'm so tired I can't string 5 words together anyway.

So I wrote this 3K chapter in 10-15 minutes bouts, 200 to 400 words at a time when I was lucky, some days adding just one sentence or paragraph. And I was so glad when I finished it yesterday evening and it didn't feel too bad or disjointed.

I used to get a nice number of comment for each chapter, but between several hiatus and the media it's from ending over a year ago, I only get a few now. Whatever, I like this story, and the people who comment seem to like it too.

One of the comments I got today from a username i didn't recognize said "It's a Christmas miracle".

That's all.

I've been thinking about this way too much today. There is no miracle whatsoever in the chapter, and it's set nowhere near xmas. So. The only explanation I can come up with is, 'it's a Christmas miracle that you updated this story'.

And I want to say to that person... fuck you very much? If you think leaving a passive aggressive comment on a fic that's already updated on an infrequent schedule is going to bring you more chapters faster, you're really a dumbass on top of being an asshole. Right now I have a rare night off when I'm not dead tired, and the very last thing I want to do, thanks to you, is start the next chapter. So why don't you do me a favor and go sit on a Christmas tree for a while?

#my post #this is about Don't Call Me Deku

hotpotatopotat

In an AU where Tomura Shigaraki survived the final AFO takeover, leaving his body broken and quirkless, he resides in a rehab facility where he rests. Deku visits weekly, and though Tomura would prefer he were left alone with a life that is finally his own, he humors it. I drew this comic last year, but I rewrote and redrew some of the faces I wasn't really proud of at the time. Even back in 2021, I was imagining this comic. I saw AFO as a cancer, and as a survivor myself, all I wanted was to give Tomura peace, even with the pain.

This is so lovely it makes me want to write another post war fic with a better ending for Tomura. I guess one wasn't enough LOL

Ochako saved Toga the only way she knew how.

Deku saved Tomura the only way he knew how...?😅

this is so beautiful,,, i love the little detail of how yoichis eyes shadow over and stop being visible whenever he's considering not being able to do things how he wants, giving into his brothers wishes. the colour and light in them only returns when he's getting a chance to choose for a BETTER life for himself....

this is a master piece

Frame redraws from the anime. Putting these here in the hopes that some day I'll look back and be happy with how much I've progressed.

I legitimately don't know who else to talk to so... I'm so tired of being a Bakugo fan who doesn't like Deku. It's like Horikoshi himself doesn't gaf about Bakugo and only wants Bakugo as a tool for hos precious little MC. Bakugo is so dehumanized in the series that no one cares about him outside of connecting him to Deku. He is not even allowed to be higher than Deku in a ranking where Deku is technically quirkless! Ngl, I feel like I want all the money I spent on MHA back but I don't know who to rant to or talk to. This ain't fair result for Bakugo at all

I understand you don't know who to talk to about this, but I'm honestly flabbergasted you came to me, one of the most openly critical people of the inclusion of those rankings in the first place. They mean nothing. They're honestly a joke. I can't imagine taking the fact that Katsuki is one rank below Izuku as anything serious and offensive because it's so meaningless. The *only* meaning you can ascribe to this situation is that Katsuki's heart truly wasn't in the competition at all until Izuku got back in the game. Now he's getting to do the exact thing he wanted to do so badly he cried openly about it to Izuku in the hospital--he's getting to chase after Izuku again. I can only assume that these rankings would just fluctuate all the time after this point. One of them will always be chasing the other, no matter who is "out in the lead."

And please be wary of using terms like "dehumanized" in reference to fictional characters. These aren't people. They literally are intangible objects. Katsuki literally is a literary tool to be used in a narrative. You're treating this mini-chapter as though it's depicting a static situation that will never change for the rest of their lives. But it's your job as a reader to infer the dynamism into the little details. Plenty of other characters care about Katsuki, and we've been shown that throughout the series. Plenty of fans care about Katsuki, and they have demonstrated that in their fan creations. Horikoshi himself even said in this fanbook that his favorite part of the story to write was the story between Izuku and Katsuki. It's not shocking in that case that he'd focus more of his attention on fleshing out the relationship between them than between Katsuki and anyone else. Nothing about that implies to me that Horikoshi doesn't care about Katsuki.

So if you want to vent to someone about your frustrations, maybe write a blog post or find someone who is upset about the same things as you. But if you want someone to counter your feelings and give you a reason to change your mind, this is about all I'm willing to provide. Good luck out there.

Man it's been a while since I saw and talked about anything MHA related... I am not the anon but this needs to be talked about.

I legitimately get confused when I see a "Bakugo fan" saying stuff like "the rankings don't matter"

How can they not matter? They're the reason why Bakugo is the way he is! They're even the reason why I loved Bakugo so much.

The Bakugo I once knew and loved, was extremely ambitious and heavily focused on getting that number 1 title because of AM! You have no idea how much I simply loved Bakugo's ambition and how he was never willing to give up! Despite how all the odds used to be against him and he never had OFA he still didn't give up!

Horikoshi destroyed my favorite character by taking away something from him that I adored so much! This is a huge character regression! A Bakugo who doesn't have an ambition is simply NOT Bakugo anymore. A Bakugo , who for any sort of stupid reasons, fails to improve his behavior and doesn't try hard to be 1 is NOT the Bakugo I loved.

Making Bakugo's ambition tied to Deku is neither cute, nor romantic nor anything other than simply "character regression".

It sounds like Horikoshi purposefully took one thing that was so individual about Bakugo and somehow tried to tie it to his protagonist because his protagonist was less popular than Bakugo and somehow despite destroying Bakugo's character and never giving him what Bakugo 100% deserves because of Deku, somehow Deku is still less popular and a lot of us still do not favor him in any way.

Sometimes I look at bkdk fans who claim to be Bakugo fans and ask myself, do these people actually care about Bakugo as an individual character or are they simply Deku fans who only care about Bakugo because Hori tried to tie Bakugo to Deku as much as possible (hence ruining Bakugo's character)

Either way, I'm hoping Either MHA never comes back OR Hori confirms Bakugou's 1st place next time because this is garbage. Bakugo wanted and deserved ONE THING and he should canonically get it. He also has the ability to get it but somehow not the ambition?

it's ASS

My god, go back and rewatch the sports festival if you wanna understand Bakugou better. Specifically pay attention to Katsuki's fight with Shouto and that part where he's chained up on the first place podium.

The whole point of the sports festival was to demonstrate that rankings can be arbitrary, and Katsuki has absolutely no interest in said arbitrary rankings. He would never be satisfied with being ranked number one if it didn't actually show that he was the best. For instance, if he got number one the way Endeavor did, Katsuki wouldn't consider it a win at all. If he got number one because all the other best heroes died or something, Katsuki would still not consider himself the true number one. He wants to surpass All Might as the number one hero precisely because he himself perceives All Might as number one. There is no one better, and All Might demonstrates it constantly. There has been no other hero in the history of heroes who even comes close to All Might. THAT is what Katsuki wants. He wants his prowess to be UNDOUBTED. And so long as ANY HERO WHO COULD CHALLENGE HIM is not in the competition, Katsuki would NEVER be able to show he's the best. Katsuki cares about ABSOLUTE competition, the competition of every hero who ever existed. And if Izuku is not competing, then Katsuki's competition hasn't started yet. Izuku, who everyone knows saved Japan from Shigaraki, the worst threat the world has ever known. Izuku, whose capacity for rescuing people is higher than possibly any other person's on the planet, which is what made Katsuki so insecure about Izuku since childhood. So long as Izuku is out of the game, Katsuki's competition hasn't even begun. This has NOTHING to do with shipping. The reason Katsuki wants Izuku and himself to chase after each other is because he knows that's when they're at their best. That's when they have the greatest capacity for growth. That's when they have the best chance of surpassing All Might.

And the one thing 431 got right was to explain in plain terms just how arbitrary the rankings have become in the future.

THIS is why I say the rankings are meaningless and a joke. Katsuki can want the number one spot in them for petty reasons, which is fine by me, but to say his ranking is a static state and reflection of his just desserts is absurd. His place will fluctuate based on arbitrary and likely constantly changing factors as the rankings criteria are constantly updated, and in the end they will have little to do with the factors Katsuki actually cares about, which are the factors that go into the absolute competition he perceives in his head. Whether or not the rankings will ever properly quantify that competition for Katsuki I have no idea. Imagine it if you like. But for Katsuki, the thing that truly matters is becoming a hero great enough that no one questions his greatness, even in the face of the competition like Shouto and Izuku. THAT'S the Katsuki we all know and love. Take him or leave him.

So, I stopped my daily MHA doodles to start something I'm definitely not ready for instead. Am I crazy? More than likely. Do I care? Not at all. Untitled as of yet, probably dabihawks if we get that far, 1/?
