Hello! I just binged QAB and it was a fucking blast! I know that you have cut it short, in deference do your sanity( thank god genuinely, cus you might have ascended to godhood otherwise, and i have not yet gotten my earthly business in order)
However. I have a single question.
What's up with the teacher's chat?? Like I understand Aizawa, Yamada and Kayama. What are Yagi and Cementoss doing there??? What piece of backstory led to it??? I am so fascinated because Cementoss appears once and seems to hold some power and it's just. Fascinating. Like the teachers appear very sparsely but their characterization is so Strong???
And this is my secondary question, but what went different on that fateful day with the sludge villain? or maybe before it? when does your izuku split off from the canon one, so to say?
glad you enjoyed it! hello to your single question
the writer's answer is that i wanted to have one mystery person in the chat who never talked/checked their phone and hoped readers forgot about it until that mystery person showed up, because it would be funny.
the in-universe answer is that cementoss and yamada are both in the english/literature "department" and i think maybe i saw their desks next to each other in a wide shot of the teacher's office...? so i thought maybe they'd be friends. also, cementoss is similar in age to yamada/aizawa/kayama, but is also one of the youngest teachers at UA (he's 29, yamada and aizawa are 31) so i figure yamada/aizawa/kayama had a group chat together that they used to coordinate drinking parties and going out to bars, and then maybe yamada added cementoss to the group because he was new and yamada wanted him to help him fit in and make friends.
yagi joined UA staff recently, does not have friends or a life, and cementoss guilted them into adding yagi. sort of like when you have a secret chat and add someone who doesn't know it's a secret chat who then tells other people... and then you have to add them, too, out of guilt. aizawa isn't particularly happy yagi is in the groupchat but at least he rarely comes to the drinking parties.
for your secondary question... the sludge villain incident simply doesn't happen. midoriya takes a different route, or is five minutes earlier or later. all might catches up to the fleeing sludge villain without incident (or maybe with incident, but involving the sludge villain trying to take over other people) and midoriya never has his encounter with all might.
at some point around this time, midoriya arrives to a scene of recent violence and finds someone hurt in some way, and helps them out. packs a wound, keeps pressure on it until help comes. he might do this by himself, or he might do this at the direction of a paramedic, but either way when help arrives to the scene someone says, "good job with that quick thinking, kid. if you hadn't stepped up to help, that guy could have lost an arm, or even his life." and it changes the way midoriya thinks about heroes and how they can be ordinary, and how even someone like him could save someone just by being at the right place and knowing the right things. he's not sure if he wants to be a paramedic or a surgeon or a nurse or what, but his mother convinced him to go for the highest level he can manage. even if he changes his mind and doesn't want to be a surgeon, he'll still have the skills to transfer over to a paramedic.
midoriya starts a second hyperfixation on medicine and anatomy, but it's still pretty early so he doesn't know too much, and his first love will always be heroes so he keeps up the blog on his spare time.
