🦎🔪 chapters that life rent-free in my head because of spinner: 220, 233, 239, 295
🦎🔪 ok NOW I’m going I just need to once again put this panel on the dash
🦎🔪 i was MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS taking a shower and was punched in the gut by the concept of a hadestown spinaraki au
spinner (orpheus) having to save shigaraki (eurydice) from all for one (hades)

‘ YOUR QUIRK . . i think it’s r - really cool ! i bet y - y - you always play as an argonian in skyrim , right ? or is . . that rude to assume ? i was always a - an elf — ’ / @knifelizard
is this kid serious......... ??? “ why, do you have pointy ears ? ” he reaches out like he’s going to actually grab the poor kid’s face. he doesn’t, though. “ and you’re too short. ” he rolls his eyes, letting the sarcasm drop from his voice. “ anyway, i do, but it IS pretty rude. ” a pause. a long one, in fact. “ ..... wait, you said you think it’s cool ? ”
🦎🔪 spinner vc: dare i say... kin?

🦎🔪 okay no i’m not done. this conversation with trumpet?? “i’m sorry to say... i can’t see you becoming a worthwhile person.” OUCH. like seriously, OUCH.
BUT IT GETS WORSE BECAUSE “i know that better than anyone” — SPINNER NEVER EXPECTED TO MAKE ANYTHING OF HIMSELF. even joining the league, he KNEW he wouldn’t do anything important or meaningful. all he wanted to do was feel something. he has no plan of his own. he just follows stain, follows shigaraki, blindly.
(also look at the state of his room. talk about a depression mess. kin.)
and then of course, this speech. “i’ve got nothing i love” PUTS MY HEAD IN MY HANDS i’m distraught.
“something lit a fire in my heart. all i could think was how i wanted a glimpse of the future he was imagining. sure... i’m just a nobody who jumped on a bandwagon, but what’s wrong with that?!”
i’m gonna. idk. how can you NOT love this man?? i’m
hhhhhHHHHHhhh.
🦎🔪 also the thing i went to bed thinking about and the thing i woke up thinking about is just how terrible spinner’s life was before joining the league?
like he doesn’t have twice’s sad backstory, or dabi’s trauma, or shigaraki’s killing his whole family thing, but —
he was a hikikomori — a social recluse, a shut-in, isolating himself and withdrawing form society. he was likely (and was, in my headcanon) a high school dropout. because he came from such a conservative and old-school village that barely accepted any kind of quirks, let alone mutant types, he was ridiculed, outcast, emotionally and physically bullied.....
and he just accepted it? which is the WORST PART. he had no real concept that life could be any better. he was called a freak and he believed it.
it wasn’t until stain that he realized maybe things don’t have to be that way.
THE FACT THAT IT TOOK 21 YEARS FOR HIM TO REALIZE THAT HE WANTED MORE OUT OF LIFE THAN TO LOCK HIMSELF AWAY BECAUSE SOCIETY TREATED HIM LIKE VERMIN...............................
puts my head in my hands.
“ friendship ended with bakugo , now izuku is my best friend. ”
“ who needs a gun when you can have a really cool sword ? ”
🦎🔪 every day i think about how by all standards, spinner is pretty useless. his quirk is literally just his mutation with the added bonus of being able to stick to walls. he’s pretty strong and obviously has some talent with blades, but compared to everyone else in the league and their quirks and agility, he’s got nothing on them. he’s not even all that smart. he’s just some guy. and yet — he manages to keep up with them? he gets less hurt over the course of the series than anyone else which is nuts considering his lack of abilities. and they don’t look down on him either. he’s one of them, as much as dabi or toga or twice.
and that’s the beauty of it. he’s some dude who came from nothing, is no one special, has no real beliefs or dreams of his own. a “hollow cosplayer” as dabi calls him, just looking for something or someone to follow, something to breathe some life into him.
he finds that in stain originally, but as soon as he realizes that the league isn’t following in his footsteps very closely, he goes right back to feeling lost.
and it’s only after that day in deika city that he wakes up and sees the beauty in shigaraki’s dream — he believes in him.
and so it doesn’t matter that on his own, spinner can’t do much of anything. he’s still gonna put everything he has into fighting for his friends and their cause, because it gives him a purpose, something to stand on his own for.

@knifelizard ♡‘d for a starter here!
❝ The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it’s gone. ❞
Fuck, he’s feeling maudlin today. Usually it’s easy to ignore, but it’s just him and Spinner here and Tomura’s tired. He doesn’t even know what’s prompted it — he should be happy, doesn’t even remember the last time he was this content, but instead he’s stretched out on the couch, complaining.
“ how very...... astute. ”
he’s right, which grates on shuichi, but mostly he’s.... confused, and concerned. he tries not to think about it too much, but something about tomura’s words give him pause. “ correct me if i’m wrong, but ain’t this the best things’ve been for us since — forever ? ” he sounds skeptical, shifting his own position on the couch so he’s facing the other instead of looking at his game’s loading screen on the tv. “ or are ya getting the feeling that something is.... off ? ” because honestly, i am too.
@takakuyaku said: "Out of curiosity do all lizards grow their tail back if you cut them off?" MEME: unprompted STATUS: always accepting !!
great conversation starter !
it takes everything in shuichi’s power not to completely snap. it would be so easy. an elbow to takami’s gut, a blade pulled from his sleeve sunk into his arm or his shoulder or his chest, and maybe that would be the lesson needed —
he takes a breath.
the league doesn’t undervalue him. they don’t. or at least tomura doesn’t, and he’s the only one who really matters. he’s far from the favorite, and he knows he’s not useful like toga or twice or compress. but that doesn’t matter. he still feels like he can be himself around them. they don’t judge him for his appearance, for his lack of abilities. they see him as a person not the lizard freak.
dabi’s an outlier.
and takami is too new. he doesn’t know shuichi like the others.
and the question is innocent enough, he supposes. his tail is clearly in a state of regrowth, and though the incident had happened before takami’s arrival, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened, at least one some level.
shuichi takes a few breaths, trying to calm the wild look in his eyes. his expression shifts from a piercing glare that would be deadly if looks could kill into an unamused frown.
“ why would i know somethin’ like that, huh ? ” because he asked about ‘ all lizards ’ and contrary to what everyone seems to think, he’s no reptilian expert. “ i ain’t a fucking lizard. ”
his appearance would suggest otherwise, but it’s evident that he takes offense to the classification all the same. “ mine takes around six months. ” he crosses his arms. “ and don’t even think about it. you’d be dead where you stand. ”

“I would chill and game, but I don’t… really feel like doing that. I don’t feel like doing anything,” he replied. When he felt a shoulder against his, he countered it with putting his head against the shoulder.
“I don’t really know how anyone can lighten it. I’ll get through it just fine. Just… hurts more than usual. But thanks…”
“ then don’t. ” it’s an easy enough thought, less easy to follow through on. shuichi knows that. but tomura’s head falls against his shoulder, and shuichi lets out a little content sigh, his own head falling against it. “ we can just sit here. unwind, or whatever. y’deserve a day of that. ” he places a hand on tomura’s back, just between his shoulder blades, and lightly rubs at the back of his neck with his thumb. “ relax. ”

what. a. coincidence.
“ okay we get it, you have wings. what are you doing ? ”
