died a little🥲
During december 2023, I was in Sicily with my family and chapter 411 of mha had recently come out. We sat down at a restaurant and I started drawing on the paper mats we had under our plates. It turned out so good that I stole a few more sheets. Never ended up using them though, I still have to get to it.
i drew shigaraki on a plane this took like 3 hrs plz like
I just discovered more tragic MHA symbols/parallels and my fragile lil heart can't take it anymore. 😭😭😭
Plenty of other people in the fandom have noticed this as well, but I just connected the dots myself when I noticed a couple of things: Izuku reaching out to young Shiggy in the season 6 opening, the season 7 opening (specifically the lyrics from Shiggy's POV), and the scenes in where AFO places his gross hands on baby Shiggy. The concept of touch/reaching out to someone is a very common theme in the MHA story. Usually, it's to help, save, or redeem someone. But it's also sometimes presented in a harmful way.
Some examples of the positive version of this:
When Izuku reaches out to Bakugou when he falls into the creek.
Class 1-A (specifically Bakugou) reaching out to Izuku when he returns to UA after going rogue.
Ochako reaching out to Toga during their final battle and wanting to understand her better.
Izuku bending down and reaching out to lil baby Tenko in the season 6 opening.
In chapter 419, while in Shiggy's mindscape, Izuku reaches out and grabs his hands, trying to reach him. Izuku remembers Bakugou reaching to take his hand, and he tells Shiggy, "It makes me feel at ease." and wants to give that to Shiggy as well.
In manga chapter 419, when little Tenko fully disintegrates Izuku's arms despite Izu desperately trying to reach him. Izuku actually does reach Tenko's heart, which AFO notes by saying, "Oh… you foolish vessel. This nobody of a boy made you have a change of heart?" and he even lost his arms in order to reach him!
However, this theme is inverted and implemented in awful sinister ways, too:
When AFO lays his nasty ass hands on lil baby Tenko when his mother is holding him. AFO steals his Quirk before it has a chance to fully manifest. AFO's touch is something bad, something that takes or hurts rather than gives or saves.
When AFO uses his Quirk to take Quirks from others, or to switch Quirks around to suit his underlings needs.
In season 7, when Shiggy is injured and exhausted, AFO lays his hands on him in a mocking example 'comfort' but we all know damn well he does not give two shits about Shiggy's well-being beyond his usefulness as vessel for AFO to take over.
After Shiggy decayed his family, he wandered the streets. He was a young distressed child bleeding, crying, and in need of help, and no one offered a hand to help him. Even in our real world society there are examples of this in social experiments where they'll have a children to act out scenarios in public. They'll have the child pretend to be lost, cry, and look around for someone. And in this experiments, there were TONS of actual adults who saw the distressed child and DID NOTHING OR IGNORED THEM.
Shiggy's actual Quirk itself, which ensures that anything he touches, he destroys. It is the complete opposite of his childhood dream to be a hero who helps others. Even if he wanted to, his touch cannot help, heal, or save. It can only destroy.
Here's the lyrics in question that made me so sad:
Everything I touch, I always destroy
I crossed the critical point that day
For I have nothing
Nor any color
As if the reaching hand were a monster
I've only been in this stupid fandom for two months and it's
RUINING MY LIFE!
MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE THIS ANYMORE! 😭😭😭😭😭
EraserDust > Erasercloud > Erasermic
We absolutely can fight about it
finally mine
Quick little explanation post for my Mha relationship choices.
Let me be clear. This is MY opinion. Don’t come at me and don’t push other ships at me I’ll ignore you and probably dislike your ship.
Eraserdust.
Yeah. I see you walking away, fair enough.
For those who STAYED, let me define some things.
Pedo ships are those in which a minor is involved or the sexualising/fetishising of a minor or traits related to minors is involved. Let’s look at these two now.
A tired high school teacher and a crusty skinned anarchist. Both adults, none with baby qualities. The age gap is an idk for some but I don’t mind max 10 yr gaps, and they made it to the deadline. If you don’t like eraserdust just because, that’s fine. But don’t accuse me of liking a pedo ship. Okay? Okay.
Now, I don’t always like eraserdust. It’s a very specific flavour i like. Not fan-boy Shigaraki, god forbid. Or weirdo/scummy Aizawa. I actually find myself liking this ship the most in civilian quirkless settings. They’ve got a joker-Batman kind of thing for me so if they are in Mha’s usual universe, they’ll likely stay rivalling even if they’re on the same side.
The Shigarakis I write tend to be more uhh. Ooc. Definitely influenced by my senseless crack headcanon of him having a mom complex secretly. I never asked for a matneral shiggy guys, it just happened. I usually age Shigaraki up too, mostly for convenience due to me making him wiser/more mature, and an older age justifies it easily. It’s usually just 5+ years, nothing too crazy.
JUST LIKE MY LOVE FOR THIS SHIP. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE WHATSOEVER. I didn’t even like it for the scenes they interacted in canon. I guess it’s just implications? Shigaraki looks like oboro and Aizawa might develop a bit of a saviour complex because of it. Either of them convincing the other to join their side. Survivor’s guilt and the one person who’s the ultimate victim. AFO shaped that poor man into what he is, Shigaraki was always meant to touch the stars.
Eraserdust is really just a crack ship I accidentally thought too much into. That’s really it. I enjoy eraserjoke and spinnaraki too. I just can’t bring myself to like erasermic, sorry gang.
i literally can't find any reason for antis to have a moral panic over eraserdust, other than shigaraki being a terrorist (but antis don't care about that). like. they're both adults with a relatively small age gap of about ten years. they're not related to each other. there's none of the "power imbalance of a childhood hero" bullshit that they made up for endhawks.
yet a lot of them still flip their shit about it ??
Lets have an unconfortable talk about Eraserdust, Tomura and EndHawks.
TW: Mention of child abuse and depersonalization.
I think Tomura is an incredibly complex character that people don't quite understand. He's not evil for the sake of being evil; he's a child who suffered terrible abuse and was never able to make a single decision in his life that wasn't manipulated by someone else. Which, I believe, makes him incapable of fully distinguishing his own emotions, internalizing them, and therefore, processing them in a healthy way.
He's a child whose sense of ownership over his own body, emotions, and thoughts was annihilated. This is the root of it all. When you don't own your own body, how can you own your decisions, your emotions, your identity? All For One not only gave him a purpose (to destroy), but also robbed him of the possibility of desiring anything else. When everything in your life has been orchestrated by someone else, you don't develop the tools to ask yourself, "What do I want?"
In the canon, the only real decision he makes is to DIE; it's the first time he decides something on his own, because he has fulfilled his purpose. In the strictest sense of the word, he did destroy the hero society, filled them with questions, and dismantled an entire system. And the saddest part is that the decision wasn't even truly his, because the destruction, the objective he ultimately achieved, remains something imposed on him by AFO. Here, I want to do something different: Aizawa lets him make decisions constantly, and accepting that, making it normal, isn't an easy, linear process, because going from having no decision-making power to being able to decide even the most basic aspects of his existence is no small feat.
Gratitude (towards Aizawa) immediately turns into hatred because it's an emotion he doesn't know how to handle. Aizawa treats him like a human being who IS WORTH IT. How are you supposed to accept that when your first memory is being the symbol of fear? Tomura's hatred towards Aizawa is, in reality, hatred towards hope. Because hope hurts. Hope implies that there is still something to lose. If Aizawa treats him as a worthwhile human being, then Tomura would have to confront the possibility that all his suffering, all his atrocities, could have been avoided. And that is unbearable. If he isn't the monster, then who is he? And if someone can see him without monstrosity, then perhaps he was never inherently evil. And that would mean that all the pain he caused was… avoidable? That burden is heavier than any guilt he could carry as a villain.
Eraserdust is a very niche ship. To be honest, BNHA has ships with much larger fandoms, whether I like them or not, for example bkdk (which I strongly dislike but I don't think this is the place to delve into that). So I always knew, when posting this work, that it wasn't going to reach a huge number of people, but that those it did reach would truly enjoy this pairing as much as I do.
Which brings me to something I was discussing the other day with a friend with whom I have an Erasercloud (2 baka +1 on my profile is the story before this roleplay), and she told me she didn't see the point of this ship. She also really fangirls over the ship of Keigo Takami and Enji Todoroki. That's something I've encountered quite often: why those two but not Eraserdust?
My conclusion is: why EndHawks but not Eraserdust? Because it's uncomfortable. Both ships stem from the same thing within the fandom: one character being a fan of the other. But in Tomura's case, they treat him as an obsessive fanboy (to the extent that AO3 is full of extremely unpleasant tags for them), while Keigo is treated as the boy who wanted to be saved by his hero, and that's cute.
Keigo is a person who found redemption and ended up surrounded by people who could give him the tools to get out of where he was and find some kind of redemption within his pain.
Tomura did not. Tomura was punished for the same thing for which Keigo was glorified: basing his actions on what someone else wanted because he lacked a sense of belonging. Which leads me to think that either the fans didn't fully understand the work, or Horikoshi's work got too big for him. Because in the end, fans mercilessly punish villains for being villains, exactly like the work itself. Heroes can commit atrocious acts and not suffer for them, because they are heroes.
I think the Eraserdust ship is, in every sense, uncomfortable, harder to romanticize, rawer, and more violent to read. It's a ship that builds connections on pain and on exposing traumas and realities that are much easier not to see. You're bringing together a character who is self-destructive to punish himself (Aizawa) and a character who destroys because he doesn't believe himself worthy of anything else (Tomura).
But both live under the idea: "my existence causes harm." And that creates a very strange, heavy emotional compatibility that doesn't fit into more "consumable" fandom dynamics.
The audience tolerates trauma as long as it remains aesthetically comfortable.
EndHawks has a structure that people already know how to process: admiration, famous heroes, salvation, mentorship, emotional dependency, and the desire for approval.
All of that comes packaged within the hero system, so people read it as something "tragic" but "beautiful."
In contrast, Tomura is the rotten product of the same system.
Eraserdust, on the other hand, has: self-destruction, dissociation, bodily violence, fear of touch, institutional trauma, dangerous emotional dependency, guilt and self-loathing.
Keigo and Tomura share MANY foundations: both were instrumentalized from childhood, both built their identity around another figure, both were used as weapons, both developed a deeply distorted relationship with admiration, both learned that their value depends on serving someone else's purpose.
The difference is that Keigo ended up being useful to the system. Tomura ended up being a threat to it.
And the fandom replicates exactly that.
