This fic stole my heart and dragged me back from the depths of hell artblock. How can I not draw spooky boy Izuku? Anyways, some of these are speculative doodles in nature. I hope you like this! Your writing is very inspiring.

I recently had a life changing revelation, and it’s about these stupid red sneakers Izuku and Tomura wear. 

Going all the way back to the start of the series, let’s recall something we learned in the first chapter;

Quirkless people have an extra joint in their pinky toes.

That’s how the doctor at the start knows Izuku is quirkless vs a late bloomer or someone with a quirk waiting to be triggered. People with quirks don’t have an extra joint. This joint is also something developed fairly young. As far as we know, gaining a quirk later in life wouldn’t change the status of this joint. So, if you’re born quirkless, then you’ll have that extra toe joint for the rest of your life, even if you get a quirk later.

Now, it’s a fairly minor trait to have. It wouldn’t be super obvious to anyone else unless they’ve got a person’s x-rays or for some reason they’ve spent a really long time staring at feet. But having an extra toe joint would probably effect a person’s feet/stride. Not drastically, but enough that someone would likely be uncomfortable in shoes designed for someone with only one toe joint.

And here’s the thing, unfortunately, that’s going to be most shoes. Quirkless people are in the minority, and getting progressively rarer, with young quirkless people being highly uncommon. Not only that, but people who are quirkless are seen as weak by society at large. So, if someone whose young and quirkless wants something like athletic shoes made for standing up to the work of a hero/villain, their options are going to be quite limited. Odds are there’d only be a few affordable brands out there.

Which brings me to Izuku and Tomura’s matching red sneakers. Now, I’ve seen some people say that their matching sneakers are a hint towards the Dad For One Theory, and while on the surface that makes sense, if you think about it for a minute, it doesn’t quite add up. Both Izuku and Tomura have undergone design revamps and are well past the age/influence where AFO would have anything to do with their shoe choice.

Yet there they are, wearing near identical sneakers for every single outfit. Almost as if they don’t have any other options.

And it was awfully convenient for All for One that the grandson of his enemy just so happened to get a highly destructive quirk that manifested suddenly and in such a way that it left him traumatized and easily influenced into becoming a villain. Or maybe it wasn’t convenient, and there’s a reason Tomura wears shoes so similar to that of our formerly quirkless protagonist.

So in your opinion what MHA fic deserves a reaction fic?

Hmmmm…

@thenarator deserves at least one reaction fic if they want one. ‘Heroics and other Things that Don’t Require Superpowers’ would be fun for a canon reacts or even a ‘they see the future’ thing.

Paper Agency or the New Normal by thefeelswhale on AO3 to.

YESTERDAY UPON THE STAIRS. There is one but it hasn’t been updated and URGH I WANT MORE.

Also if I could be selfish I’d die of happiness for a reaction fic to Mission: Woo Izuku series.

[thenarator]

omg thank you so much! honestly if anyone feels like writing a reaction fic for “heroics” (or “prince of heroes”) i would love to see it!

[thatmightyheart]

they’re dumbasses, brent

Okay but. Listen. Imagine. Number One Hero Deku. Who is the biggest hero nerd in Japan. And fanboys over all the other heroes. Including the really obscure ones. TO WHOEVER WILL LISTEN. TO THEIR FACES. Imagine being a small time hero, not even in the top 100. Meeting THE Deku. And his face just LIGHTS UP when he sees you and asks you for your autograph. Starts telling you how cool you were doing X thing. Asking you all kinds of questions about your Quirk. How dead would you be.

!!!!! Midoriya doesn’t fully understand how famous he is. He approaches everyone in the hero industry like they’re equals (or like he’s the fan). He has no idea these small-time heroes are having an existential crisis just because he’s breathing the same air as them, let alone asking for their autograph. 

He routinely murders rookie heroes by bouncing over to them and babbling about how he’s a fan of their work, and he thinks their quirk is just so cool, and he really likes their costume. He still takes notes about other heroes, so when he meets other heroes (no matter how small-time or underground they might be) he pulls out these journals that contain actual notes about them, sometimes with sketches, usually with a tiny brainstorm on strategies/other uses for their quirks, and shares his advice with them. He’s made grown heroes cry. His smile is too bright. Too earnest. RIP every baby hero he comes across

Because Midoriya never stopped seeing himself as a fan. Because he never sees anyone else as below him, never thinks he’s above anyone else, even as the rising Symbol of Peace. It’s a part of his charisma, and probably just earns him even more fans

[captainkirkk]

Why is there not more stuff about Izuku “biggest hero fan in all of Japan” Midoriya trying to juggle being a famous UA student/top pro hero while ALSO BEING being a huge hero nerd

Do I have to fill this very specific need MYSELF

[syrren]

HC that Deku’s fanboying becomes the purest menace when he’s #1 pro-hero and still goes around asking for autographs and gives rookie heroes heart attacks.

Bakugou was the only person not crowding around Izuku. He hadn’t even left his desk. When Izuku, clasped in All Might’s arms, saw him over the heads of his classmates, he waved. Bakugou sneered and flipped him off. Izuku frowned, considered Bakugou, and then flipped him off in return.

The class screamed, and All Might coughed blood down his front, just barely managing not to get it on Izuku.

Been reading a lot of fanfiction lately and stumbled over this little gem (stickers & stars) by @captainkirkk

After cackling like an idiot for 10 minutes straigth, I just had to draw this scene.

[captainkirkk]

I love my little gremlin sons, thank you so much for this! ❤️

[saawek]

So I have read God Knows I’ve Been Naive by @parsnipit at least 5 times already ? (and I need to start reading the sequel when I’ll finally be over this one ha ha)

I cannot handle the amount of pure this deaged Hua Cheng has !!! He is supposed to be 5 years old (I fucked up some drawings there oops) but here it is!  Don’t forget to feed the author in kudos and comments if you like the fic :)

Did Xue Yang actually love Xiao Xingchen? Do you think he's capable of that?

I waffled on this a while, mostly about what kind of disclaimers/prevarications I wanted to make, but I think ultimately I came down on the answer of just a straight yes. 

I mean - what is love? (baby don’t hurt me.) “Love” is something that’s very difficult to define and delineate, I think, and comes in a lot of different forms and can be experienced in a lot of different (and often deeply contradictory) ways. I don’t think there’s one single definition or way of experiencing love as an emotion. I also think it’s important to note that, like. Loving someone is not a universally positive thing.

Which is I guess to say that I do think Xue Yang is capable of feeling that, but his form of it is deeply warped and dysfunctional in the ways that Xue Yang’s outlook and emotional experience of the world is deeply warped and dysfunctional, and I don’t think he’d ever identify it as such. I don’t think Xue Yang really recognized what Xiao Xingchen meant to him, or how deep his emotional attachment to him ran, until Xiao Xingchen killed himself. 

I’ve seen reads of Xue Yang’s relationship to Xiao Xingchen that posit Xiao Xingchen as a sort of “object” to Xue Yang that he likes, and I do think that Xue Yang in general doesn’t see other people as fully people. I think, though, that Xiao Xingchen kind of transcended that - in a sense, Xue Yang’s bubble of “self” expanded to include Xiao Xingchen as sort of...an exception. He acquires the designation of ‘also person’ partly by proximity and association. 

I feel like I’m not explaining this very well. Augh. I guess it’s like...hmmm. The difference in how one might feel about the abstract idea of a cat and your cat. For the most part other people are flat abstractions; Xiao Xingchen is his and therefore more real. 

Xue Yang’s love is possessive and destructive and all-consuming, but it’s still love. Though I definitely don’t think he’d peg that as what’s going on. 

I mean. Just. This face. If that ain’t some prime heart-eyes, and there’s no one (as far as he knows) who is looking, who sees that face, who he’s performing for. And it is the softest (if you’ll pardon the word) expression that we ever see Xue Yang make.

(Or this one! Augh. Look, look.)

That’s love, babey. It’s just not, in the end, very pretty.

cant believe wangxian didnt have a stuck-in-a-coffin scene like the other two when they was out there digging graves and investigating tombs !!! 😤😤

“A soft hand to his cheek, drying the tears he still couldn’t reel in, that slipped under his hot, burning blindfold.  (…)Senkuu found himself leaning into the warmth, his hands were warm.”

TW FOR ABUSE @rainingskyguy​ ´s fic, counting the seconds is so good. I suddenly got the urge to draw Senkuu in that specific part.  Hope you like it

This is not shipping fanart. It´s exploration in character behaviour.  thank you very much.
