The way Ein is treated in PDH S2 is genuinely so frustrating as someone who loves to pick apart characters and their mindsets.
This first section is built on speculation, but I feel like it’s heavily implied that the all-werewolf school he transferred from was very traditional in the way they handled pack politics and daily life. Sniffing people upon first meeting, strict adherence to werewolf rules and customs, how confused and/or uncomfortable he gets when things are settled in a more “human” manner, etc. Like how the fuck is he meant to know things don’t work that way there…? They keep throwing curveball after curveball at him and getting mad when he doesn’t react like everyone else. And it’s not like any of the other werewolves were gonna explain to him how things work at their school considering they all hate him, and Aphmau can’t help with that either because she’s absolutely fucking clueless about the culture she’s shoved herself into and doesn’t bother explaining to him why she leads the way she does outside of “this is how I do things!”. He suddenly went from a very rigid form of the pack system to this weird, mixed-up version, not to mention suddenly going from an all-werewolf school to one with students of all kinds of different races(?) with no adjustment period. Moving schools is already a difficult process for kids but I can only imagine something like that would make it a million times harder. Especially with no support from your peers.
Also I’m sorry but I do not feel fucking bad for Dottie, Daniel, and Rylan having to pick one of them to be the omega. Love them but they didn’t give two shits about bullying and isolating the omega until it got turned around on them and they realized it wasn’t fun being harassed. Maybe I’m just a petty bitch but if I was in Ein’s position and I could get back at someone who bullied me by putting them in my place I would do it too. “Oh well he went too far with it!” I don’t fucking care! He is a 15 year old child who suddenly went from being hated and harassed by his entire community to being in charge of all of them within a day. Obviously it’s going to get to his head. OBVIOUSLY he’s going to do stupid shit because he feels suddenly untouchable. I’m not going to blame a child for not being mature enough to responsibly lead an entire group of like a hundred other children or handle his emotions properly!
Anyway, proceeding to show Aaron keeping his role as omega instead of picking one of those three to make Ein look like an unreasonable asshole was also just an insane thing to witness cuz how on gods green earth was he supposed to know he could do that. The teacher’s reaction in the flashback shows plain as day that that is not something that’s happened before and it’s not like he told Aphmau or Ein they were allowed to do that so how the fuck was he supposed to know that was possible. And it’s not like he was even in the wrong for picking an Omega in the first place because he was LITERALLY TOLD TO. “Oh it’s different bc those three are pups! They can’t defend themselves!” and yet the weakest members of the pack are ALWAYS candidates to be the Omega? You can’t tell us werewolf rules and then expect us to think Ein is in the wrong for adhering to them, that’s fucking stupid.
And, a little bit of a tangent, the fact that the scene of Ein telling Kai he can’t compete to be the werewolf alpha is framed in a way to make it seem like EIN is the one in the wrong is actually fucking bonkers. Kai is not apart of that culture. He has no fucking right trying to insert himself in their politics let alone LEAD them. Ein was completely justified in telling him to fuck off no matter his intentions. Sorry not sorry.
And, love Jess to bits, not trying to come for her, but the entire “Ein was manipulating Aphmau all along” twist was fucking stupid. It relies almost entirely on you watching Emerald Secret alongside it in order for it to not be obviously out of left field. And I’m sorry but if you need to watch an entirely different series for your twist to work, it fucking sucks. The only actual hint toward it is the other wolves being weirded by him but even then it’s implied that’s because he’s 1. A transfer from a different pack and 2. The omega??? So it’s like okay what else do we have. Him finding Aphmau being the alpha as a human weird? Okay well that’s not a hint either cuz it literally IS weird considering she is not apart of their culture. Him insisting Kai can’t compete to become the alpha? Also not a hint because YEAH THATS FUCKING CRAZY???? Not to mention there is no 15yo on this planet who is that good at manipulation. Sorry but it’s true. I think the plot would’ve worked a lot better if they’d gone the “power corrupts’ route instead of the “secret evil master manipulator” route. But yk we can’t have TOO many people sympathizing with our villain, or else they might realize a grown man coming back to beat up this high school sophomore is fucked up! Speaking of.
The fact that we, as the audience, are supposed to see Aaron, a grown man, sneaking into the school in a stolen uniform, beating the shit out of this 15yo child because he tried to sabotage his relationship with another 15yo (which like, technically a dick move but also get away from that little girl), and then throwing one of the kids who is SHOWN to have bullied Ein out with him to make it look like he did it, and view that as a GOOD THING is actually horrific. Aaron gets a pass for this and all the other weird or straight up awful shit he does but god forbid Ein step one foot out of line or else he’ll suffer the narrative’s wrath!
And then he gets manipulated and exploited by a literal demon from hell and somehow he is still the devil! Yeah man! Whatever!
Anyways, rant over. I hate this series and this fandom for the way they treat Ein and refuse to see the nuance in his character.
THIS!! THIS IS WHY EIN IS STILL MY FAVORITE!!!! I HATED what they did with his character in Emerald Secret SO MUCH that I just had to stop watching Aphmau all together.😭
But no matter what I will DIE on my Ein-stan hill!💕
Thanks to the wonderful mind of @lukacouffaineappreciation (and anyone else who helped in this idk) I get to participate in bringing this fandom more Luka love and affection.
The first day’s prompt is ‘Moon’. A little background on this story because it’s an AU idea that I’ve been working on in my spare time and have some basic info on.
Basically this is a modern fantasy world where Luka and his family are from a big Scottish wolf pack. Fantasy creatures that were once thought to be only myths turned out to be real and after a big war peace was achieved and now everyone lives peacefully. For the most part 😉This story goes into some of Luka’s backstory, hopefully you enjoy this and the stories to come throughout the rest of the month.
Even as a pup, Luka knew the implications behind his Athair’s words. That doesn’t mean he wanted to believe them though. But alas that is not a pleasure he is allowed, for the truth of the matter is that his father has to go. With his Uncail dead and his Aintín unfit to lead and Co-ogha to young to take his place the only one left to lead the main pack was his father.
But the problem was that his Màthair and Athair ran away for a reason. They didn’t want the responsibility of leading the pack, for as selfish as that sounds it just wasn’t for them. His parents were too wild and chaotic to be able to lead the pack the way that his grandfather had done so before. So the night before his Athair ceremony, they fled.
They were chased all throughout Europe until they finally lost them in Germany with the help of some local Fea. Eventually, they made their way to Paris where they had Luka and a little while later Juleka. They lived a modest life, a simple life. With the melodies of his Màthair and Athair lulling them to sleep, with the gentle sway of the river under them acting as a constant gentleness, keeping their young minds at rest.
This is how it was for the first 5 years of young Luka Couffaine’s life. Filled with music and family, nothing more nothing less and he was happy. He didn’t need anything fancy or expensive because he had his family, and there was nothing better.
But now, that simple fulfilling life was being torn apart. His father was being forced back to a place that he so desperately tried to hide from. Forced back into an unwanted life by love and loss. And they were being left behind.
Now it’s not like his father wanted to leave, in fact, he said that if it was up to him they would stay together in their boat and continue to live their lives as normal. But fate had a cruel way of taking your most precious things away from you at the worst of times and for the cruelest of reasons.
Though Luka did not wish to see his beloved father go, he understood that it had to happen. Their pack, their family needed him. They needed a leader and there was no one else to fill that position but him. He remembers hearing in the dead of the night his parents going back and forth about a topic that he did not understand at the time but now more than ever wished he tried a little harder too. He remembers his parents going on about moving, his father not wanting them to go with him, and his mother arguing the opposite.
He never was able to figure out why his father wouldn’t want them to go with him wherever that might be. Family is supposed to stay together, so why did he want to tear them apart? He didn’t talk to his father for most of the following day, confusing the older wolf until finally, he let out a deep sigh and took Luka to the living room to have a chat.
Sitting down on the couch, his father was hunched over with sorrow between his brow. It confused young Luka, who was trying his best to maintain his anger at his father but was failing miserably as the seconds ticked by. Until eventually he moved closer to his father and pulled himself onto the older man’s lap. This finally got his father to lift his head and looked at his eldest child in the eyes. And oh how Luka wished he never looked back. The eyes once filled with nothing but joy and love were now filled with sorrow and grief. It completely confused the poor young wolf, making him worry even more about his father.
His fear must have leaked into his features because his father once again gave a heavy sigh and gently patted his son’s head. Leaving his hand in his son’s short black hair, the boy looked up at his father through his eyelashes prompting his father to finally speak.
“I know yer too young to fully understand but hopefully one day you might.” He started off softly, a low rumble making its way into his voice calming the young pup in his lap, “But yer old man is going to have to go away for a bit.” Luka let out a small gasp as his face morphed into one of confusion and fear. But before he could even open his mouth to ask any of the numerous questions flying around his head, his father continued, “Now, now before you go gettin’ your tail in a twist, let me explain.”
And so explain he did, he told of his brother’s passing, of his wife’s inability to lead due to grief of the loss of her mate and of his child being too young to even remember him properly let alone lead the pact. And so as his only brother it was up to Luka’s father to take up the mantle that he gave up so long ago and head back to Scotland.
“But why can’t we come?” Luka blurted out in a hurry, knowing his father would not let him ask anything unless he did so. His father sighed once more and ruffled Luka’s hair lovingly. His ears going down as to not get in the way of his father’s hand.
“I was just gettin’ to that so hold your horses.” His father scolded gently, a ghost of a smile gracing his face before it was gone just as quickly as it came. His lips tugging into a frown once more.
“Well, my little [blank] it’s because it isn’t safe. The coven that took my brother’s life is still out there, hunting down our pack and until they’re dealt with I can’t bring you with me. I can’t put you and your Màthair and sister in that type of danger, you all mean too much.” As his father said this he brought Luka into a tight hug like he was trying to convey all of his love into one simple action. So Luka hugged back with all the love his young body could give.
“Losing you all would be like the world ending and I,” his father’s voice hitched just then as he held onto his son a little tighter, “I just can’t risk that.” That’s what it took to make Luka understand, understand that as much as they would all like to stay together that that would be the selfish move to make. He understood that by him, his mother, and his sister staying in Paris his father was protecting them. It was his way of showing how much he loved them. Because no matter how much pain it would bring him to be away from them, he did it because the possible alternatives were so much worse. So with that newfound understanding, Luka showed in the only way he could think of off the top of his head. He buried his face into his father’s shoulder and squeezed, showing his understanding of what his father had to go through, showing that he didn’t hate him for it but loved him even more instead.
And that’s how they got here, a week later in the dead of the night on the deck of The Liberty. With three strange wolves standing behind his father, stiff and unmoving, moving with the subtle sway of the boat as if they’ve been on one their whole lives. His father was standing in front of him with his mother to the right of him holding his little sister as she slept soundly in her arms.
Luka looked up at his Athair with sad tired eyes, rubbing at them trying desperately to stay awake. Seeing this his father chuckled softly and lifted his young son up and placed him on his hip. This simple action was so familiar and natural that Luka didn’t think twice about laying his head on his father’s shoulder, almost drifting off then and there. The only thing that kept him awake was the soft chuckle that his father let out at his action.
“Now, now little [blank] don’t fall asleep on me now.” With that Luka lifted his head up and looked his father in the eyes. Even though his eyes were shining with joy there was clear underlining of sadness in there as well. This caused Luka to frown slightly, sadness, and worry etching itself into his face.
“Athair are you sure you have to go?” Luka asked, his voice small and so very vulnerable. His body language conveying this as his ears pushed flush against his head and tail did its best to wrap around his waist.
Seeing the vulnerability in his son’s eyes his father’s own softened, love, and care seeping into his gaze as he looked down at his eldest child. Bringing his other hand up he gently begins to run it through his son’s hair, in-between his ears, letting out a calming rumble soothing Luka down until he wasn’t as tense as before. Luka lifted his head slightly to look behind him when he felt a hand start rubbing up and down his back.
Looking behind him he saw his mother looking down at him with a soft look in her eyes, though just like his father they had that same undertone of pure sadness that can only come from being separated from your mate. Luka looked back up at his father when he heard him begin to talk again.
“If it were up to me my mac I would never leave, but do you remember what I told you a few days ago?” His father asked in the same gentle voice Luka has noticed that he’s been using a lot throughout the week. Feeling his throat close up slightly all Luka could do was nod his numbly as he did his best to focus on the calming circles that his mother was still rubbing on his back or the rumble now coming from both of his parents. Luka quickly took notice that the rumbles were working on Juleka at least as she had yet to wake up from her slumber this whole time. Luka’s head turned back up to his father as he began to talk again.
“Then you know that we have no choice in the matter my little lumière des étoiles. The rest of our family needs me and I need you all to stay safe,” his father said as he continued to look down on his son with his soft eyes, who were now being filled with the recurring feeling of sadness. Then Luka asked the question that both adults had been avoiding thinking about the whole time since this arrangement had been made.
“But what if I never see you again?” This made both adults stiffen up and pause their comforting actions but quickly resumed once they say Juleka started to stir. His father was quiet for a moment as Luka held his breath, waiting to hear his father’s answer. Then his father finally looked up at the sky and something caught his eye, making them light up a bit as he looked back down at the young wolf pup still in his arms waiting for his answer with bated breath. Motioning with his head up to the sky, Luka brought his own head up to the night sky and looked around for what his father might be motioning too but all he saw was the moon and stars.
Looking back at his father with a puzzled look he saw the older wolf chuckle under his breath and looked back up at the sky, Luka following his lead.
“Do you know what one thing that every place in the world has in common Luka?” His father asked as he looked back down at his son who looked back at him, still with infusion written on his face as he shook his head no.
“Well, my boy I’ll tell you,” Luka’s father said in a wispy voice, “it’s the moon. No matter where you are in the world, if you look up at the night sky you’re still looking at the same moon, it never changes no matter where you’re looking at it from.” His father said with a smile on his face as he looked back down at his son who stared right back at him.
“So remember this my lumière des étoiles, you too my love no matter where I am in the world, no matter how far away we are, look up at the moon and now that I am looking at it with you.” With that Luka launched his arms around his father’s neck and squeezed with all of his might. He barely registered his mother’s soft chuckle from behind him and his father gently brought his other arm around her bringing her and Juleka into the hug, softly kissing her forehead as her silent tears slid down her cheeks.
Though like everything else in Luka’s life, the moment was ruined by the soft cough that came from behind his father. Turning around slightly his father caught the eye of one of the wolves that were silently standing there motioning to his watch, signaling that they were out of time and it was time for his father to go.
Silently shaking his head Luka clung onto the front of his father’s shirt, tears finally flowing freely from his eyes staining both his father’s and his own shirts. With a silent sorry, his father prided Luka off of him and handed him over to his mother who had her own tears still flowing down her cheeks.
With a sad smile, his father silently brushed them away before giving her one last kiss then he turned his back and walked away. Walking down the plank before stopping in front of a car parked right in front. Turning around one last time he blew his family a kiss before getting into the car with the rest of the wolves before the car finally drove off. Leaving the small now three-person family to silently cry under the light of the full moon.
And the moon silently watched as the family mourned the departure of one of their own. Doing nothing more than shine her light on them and let them weep.
I love these boys and there’s nothing you can do about it. Thanks @ultra-sassyduck
I didn’t know that I needed that level of bad-ass Luka in my life until I was blessed with the Ace of Spades. 😌🙏 I’m going to be completely real here, I honestly forgot Basilisk’s name and I may or may not have added the hood to him because I thought that he might be more leaned towards a King Cobra.
... Whoops
I really hope you don’t mind, I kind of got carried away 😅
Either way, I absolutely love all these stories! Please keep up the great work because it’s honestly the high light of my day when ever I see you upload either a new story or update another!
So in Lucifer's room, over his (frankly massive, big enough to fit him and all his brothers) bed is a big painting!
It's a bit distorted, but you can actually find out just what that painting is! As it happens it's a work by Simon Bisley, of the fall of Lucifer.
Of course, one might think, why in the Devildom would Lucifer want a painting of himself being kicked out his home, but, well, I imagine he must be proud of his rebellion even though he failed. In a sense he gained the freedom that he perhaps wanted. Mostly, anyway. With some complications.
Of course, I'd also like to point out the cropping of this particular painting--it's cropped only to Lucifer and the demon catching him as he falls--in an Obey Me! lore sense, that'd be Diavolo.
Which means Lucifer and/or Diavolo decided to put what is essentially a painting of Diavolo accepting him into the devildom and taking him in in his room, over his bed. This is either,
A) a cute romantic gesture to the effect of a couple taking a photo in front of their new house
Lol apparently they took action regarding this due to copyright infringement concerns and have changed the background so the painting is no longer somebody else's art.
The original is up there, obviously↑
And here's the new one, now without copyrighted art! Hurray!
I like it, personally. Obviously it not being as distinct is kinda unfortunate but now it's more open to interpretation lol
We just narrowly avoided the Quantum Leap/Hatoful Boyfriend crossover.
So it’s just an episode of Quantum Leap where Scott Bakula leaps into the body of the MC and has to romance all the boys.
Al: Okay Sam, Ziggy says you have to go on that date with Satan but make sure Lucifer doesn’t know or he’ll pin you to a wall and drag you upstairs. Unless that’s your goal, we can do that. And make sure Beelzebub doesn’t eat all the food in the fridge. Gotta check twice a day.
Headcannons for a sleep talking mc i just feel it would be so funny. Like Satan and mc would have full on sleep convos. Please and thank you
Sleep talking can be really cute.
Satan
In the middle of the night you randomly start to talk.
At first it kind of makes sense, at least until the part of the rainbow unicorn elefant.
Satan chuckles lightly but keeps on talking to you regardless.
He really enjoys your wild answers, especially when you sound all serious about something ludicrous.
He sometimes wishes he could peek into your dreams.
Satan also has full on philosophy discussions with your sleeping self.
He just loves hearing these wild theories that somehow are always just you.
Satan sometimes just listens to you ramble on for hours about some nonsense.
He will never tell you about your mid sleep talks.
You take revenge on him by also listening to him when he talks in his sleep.
Leviathan
He thinks that you are still awake and just talks to you about some anime plot.
Then suddenly he realizes that you are asleep.
Amazing that you are so into geek life you even talk about anime in your sleep.
True geek goals.
He finds it very endearing but he is also jealous when you start talking about your favorite character or like you are in the anime yourself.
He just wants to dream about that too.
It gets a bit embarrassing when you start to talk about Levi, like how much you want to eat his hair.
Levi blushes and argues with the sleeping you a bit about how that is not okay.
He sometimes has conversations with you, regardless of how much sense they make, he just loves your voice and sometimes he tells you things he can't really say when you are awake.
Levi will usually tell you about them again later anyway.
Since sleeping you said so.
Mammon
He argues with you when you sleep talk at least until he realizes that you won't know what either of you said during the night.
Then he just practices talking to you without getting all worked up.
He is super honest when you are asleep, it's somehow comforting.
Mammon also bounces scam ideas with you when you sleep talk, even in that state you tell him it's a bad idea.
Mammon still tries it anyway.
He always proclaims that you are a very good listener when you sleep talk, you still don't know if it's a compliment or not.
Lucifer
You lay on the bed, slowly passing out, while Lucifer is working.
He keeps talking to you and doesn't notice that you fell asleep.
You keep talking and at some point you become a bit strange in your conversation.
He looks over to the bed and sees you are asleep.
Lucifer chuckles and shakes his head.
He still keeps talking to you anyways, your voice is just calming to him.
Lucifer takes note of your more ridiculous claims.
Overall he finds it kind of amusing.
Unless you start talking about anyone that isn't him, then he will pout to your sleeping self.
Like you can control your sleep talk.
Belphegor
He is just the same way.
He isn't talking much in his sleep but if he does you somehow both talk to each other in your sleep.
It's very cute to be honest.
Belphie sleeps a lot but if he is ever awake while you sleep talk he will use the chance to talk to you anyways.
He loves to ask you random things and then gets the most random answers.
Belphie always teases you with your answers the next morning.
You are convinced that he makes at least a few replies up.
Beelzebub
He often gets up at night to get something to eat.
Beel is always extra careful not to wake you up.
One night when he comes back he hears you talking.
He quickly figures out that you sleep talk.
You barely make sense.
He keeps talking to you regardless.
He just wants to hear more about your dreams, since it's the one thing he can't share with you.
Beel listens to you until he passes back out.
The next morning he tells you about your late night talk.
You feel a bit embarrassed but Beel does not mind at all.
Asmodeus
He finally convinced you to stay with him overnight.
It's pretty fun, at least until you pass out
Asmo pouts a bit but then resorts to watching you while you sleep
Then you start talking in your sleep.
It's more of a mumble at first but over time Asmo can make some of it out.
He complains that you not once talk about him, well at least you don't talk about anyone else either.
Asmo laughs when you spout some almost coherent sentences.
You really keep surprising him.
Asmo will try to get compliments out of you or whisper something in your ear, hoping for some reaction.
In the morning he will tease you and demand some compliments, after all you didn't say anything about him all night.
Mammon might be my best friend, and the twins might perfectly represent my soul. But Levi, Levi appeals to my awkward nerdy self and I couldn’t be happier with my results 🥰
While this song makes me merry,
Tyrian purple dyes many a hue
From magenta to berry
And a true purple too.
But fun as it is to watch this poetic race
The answer is staring you right in the face:
Roses are red and violets are blue
Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
The ghost of Dr. Seuss rises from the grave to confront the challenge from @radha-the-introvert thusly:
Hortons who, Myrples empurple
Sneezles wheezle and Burples hirple
If you’re sickple you need a curple
But Violets, they are stuck.
Rose may suppose that her toeses are Moses
Roger the dodger’s a nice old codger
If you need a cleaver, just leave it to Beaver
But being a Violet sucks.
I have so many ideas. One of these being this cool sassy female Midoriya idea where she has a powerful animal transformation quirk but hides it in fear of fake friends like Bakugou.
The story idea is below the line to reduce clutter, I really hope you enjoy!
Midoriya Izumi has a transformation quirk that allows her to transform into any animal as long as she either has ingested that animal's DNA and if she completely understands that animal's anatomy. The DNA allows her body to have the DNA makeup of the animal and the anatomy knowledge allows her body to know how to conform itself.
When her quirk first activates she takes on natural characteristics of a dragon, like her father who has a fire breathing quirk and allows him to have some characteristics of a dragon as well. Her father is a villain and so when that aspect of her quirk is discovered she hides is before anyone besides her mother knows about it.
This leads to her lying about the strength of her quirk and leads everyone to believe that she has a weak cat transformation quirk. This leads to her getting bullied for being weak by all of her classmates. This doesn’t stop her from training at the local dojo and she meets Orjio and they quickly became friends after she gives him advice on how to advance his quirk.
Orjio doesn’t know the full power of her quirk but knows that she is a lot more powerful then she lets on. They train together but despite all of this Inko doesn’t allow Izumi to try out for the hero course since she is extremely overprotective of Izumi. This pisses Izumi off but she does her best to respect her mother’s wishes after everything with her father.
She does come up with a plan to get in though but she wants to do by winning the sports festival, then her mother would have no choice but to let her join the hero course. Orjio isn’t really happy about this but he agrees to help her out anyway.
Walking home from school one day she meets Shinso as he is running away from his own group of bullies. They literally run into each other and fall over. The group tries to get her away from Shinso by stating that he has a villain quirk and that they won’t allow the villain to take a hostage.
This pisses Izumi off and she processed to kick all of their asses and tells them that if she hears that any of them were bothering him for his “villain quirk” that she wouldn’t hesitate to report all of them for illegal quirk use and ruin all of their chances to get into any hero course.
With this threat, they all run off and Izumi and Shinso are left alone to talk. She explains that she protected him because villains and heroes aren’t defined by their quirks but by their morals. They end up going to a nearby cat cafe and bond over their love of heroes and she learns that his favorite hero is Eraserhead. They talk more and Izumi agrees to help him train to become a hero with her and Orjio.
This goes on for a few years and Shinso, Izumi, and Orjio all form a really close bond. Shinso and Izumi both get into Gen Ed. (whose homeroom is run by Present Mic) and both quickly became known as the Duke and Duchess of UA with how powerful they both were. Mic is really impressed by their power and dedication to helping anybody and agreed to help train both of them to get into the hero course. He gets Eraserhead to help Shinso and Shinso almost as a heart attack when he first met Eraserhead from fanboying so hard. This is greatly amusing to both Izumi and Mic.
When the students are in front of class 1-A’s room and Bakugou is talking about all of them being weak, they all laugh and say that all of them are going to be taken down by their Duke and Duchess. This greatly confuses and pisses Bakugou off and he storms off, yelling about how he was going to kick those two’s assess. While he is walking off the group is snickering and placing bets on which one of them is going to be getting into the hero course. (By everyone I mean everyone besides hero course students)
By the time the sports festival roles around everyone in the other courses have placed their bets on whether the Duke or Duchess was going to win. Everyone in the hero course still doesn’t know who these two powerful mystery students are. Not even Orjio knows and Shinso and Izumi refuse to tell him, much to the annoyance of everyone in the hero course.
Izumi gets firth place in the race as she turns into a bird and flies over everybody and not even Mic and Eraser see her land in the stadium until she ends up getting Midnight's attention and transforms back into her normal form, but she wants her to keep her a secret as she wants to surprise everyone. Todoroki and Bakugou end up coming in second (Bakugou) and third (Todoroki), Bakugou is about to celebrate that he got first but he is stopped when he hears that he got second. Looking around he sees Izumi sitting on the stage next to Midnight with a hidden smug smile on her face. He’s about to explode at her when Eraser stops him with his quirk and they move on.
Izumi ends up teaming up with Shinso, Tokoyami, and Uraraka. Tokoyami is in the front with Uraraka on the left and Shinso on the right. Uraraka makes it so that they can move easier, Tokoyami keeps them away with Dark Shadow and Shinso helps by commanding people to give them their headbands.
Todoroki ends up getting their 10million headband but they still get second with the rest that Shinso snagged for them.
First round:
Todoroki vs. Sero
Ibara vs. Aoyama
Iida vs. Hastume
Kirishima vs. Tetsutetsu
Bakugou vs. Uraraka
Momo vs. Izumi
Tokoyami vs. Ashido
Shinso vs. Denki
Next round:
Todoroki vs. Ibara
Shinso vs. Iida
Bakugou vs. Kirishima
Izumi vs. Tokoyami
Final four:
Bakugou vs. Todoroki
Izumi vs. Shinso
Izumi vs. Bakugou
Izumi is the final winner
Inko isn’t happy about Izumi fighting all of those people but Izumi tells her that the only reason her mother has so much anxiety about Izumi becoming a hero is that she doesn’t believe in her; because a mother who truly believes in their child’s ability won’t be doubting them so much.
This upsets Inko greatly and is about to pull Izumi out of UA when Present Mic and Eraserhead come up to her and compliment Izumi on her heroic ability and wanted to talk to her about her joining 1-A. Inko tells them how she feels that the heroics course is too dangerous for her daughter is going to be pulling her out of UA when Eraserhead tells her how much of a complete waste that would be and states that he and Mic have been personally training her and Shinso and that they have been some of his best students.
They eventually convince (read: guilt trip) Inko into letting Izumi join the heroics course. She and Shinso end up starting next week. Inko isn’t happy about any of this as her anxiety is making her worried about all of this, but there is no backing down after she already said yes. Shinso and Izumi are extremely excited about their transfer and rush to meet up with Orjio to tell him the good news.
They meet up with him as he is talking to some of his classmates (Tokoyami, Hakagure, Sojiro, and Sato). They’re telling them all the good news when they are interrupted by Bakugou and the rest of the class coming to congratulate them on their victories.
Bakugou is extremely pissed about Izumi not only winning but also about her hiding the true extent of her abilities. She ends up sassing him to the extreme, stating that unlike him and his extreme ego she didn’t want fake friends. And that she would have much rather dealt with the bullying from a bunch of fakes and get the real encouragement and love from her actual friends. With that she and Shinso walk off, telling them that they will be seeing them all later.
Time skip to the next week where Izumi and Shinso are set to join 1-A. During the week Mineta is transferred to Gen Ed in Shinso’s place. (Due to his high intelligence he isn’t expelled but his behavior is labeled as inappropriate and he is moved to a different course with a warning)
Here Izumi and Shinso are officially introduced to the class and canon continues as usual with Shinso taking Mineta’s place.
I really hope that you all enjoy this little idea of mine. I might make this into an idea later on but for now, this is a public idea that if anybody so chooses that can take and role with. All that I ask is that you link me to your finished work as I would love to read it and link back to it.
So I love fanfictions, especially pokemon ones. I noticed that there aren’t many BNHA pokemon AU’s and I love fem! Izuku so I decided to put them together into one AU. I’ll be posting ideas on here while I can hopefully write a full story on this or work with a much better writer to do so. (message me if any of this interests you pls). After I made this I realized that I made half her team from the Alola region. Funny thing is is that that is the region of the first pokemon game I played. 😂
Credit time! So they do technically have a Tumblr account and it goes by the same name but their most popular account and where I got the base for Izumi from is their Deviant account Nukababe. It’s also where I got the eyes from.
INFO TIME!! (Warning this is all SUPER long. You have been warned)
The pokemon order is Eevee, Riolu, Cosmog, Popplio, Ralts, and then Mimikyu.
Inko doesn’t have a set pokemon type that she prefers to stick with like her daughter's fairy type.
Inko works as a nurse at the local hospital and her pokemon companion is an Audino. She also has a Gardivoir and a Delfox that help around the house.
Inko’s Audino can mega evolve.
Inko’s husband died in a pokemon battle between a hero and a villain. This makes her scared when Izumi says she wants to be a hero-trainer.
Izumi’s quirk manifests itself when she is 7 years old.
She first gets Eevee when she meets her when she is running through the woods from Bakugou and his friends. She takes a sharp turn into a bush and trips down a small hill. Once at the bottom she starts to cry as she’s hurt and lost. After crying for a minute she sees something fluffy and brown come towards here. Looking up she sees that it’s a curious Eevee. Her cries start to slowly turn to sniffles as the Eevee starts playing around with her in an attempt to make make the little girl smile. And it works, Izumi starts to have fun with her new friend. They play at the bottom of the hill for a little bit longer until Izumi realizes that it’s late and her mother is going to be worried about her. This brings her back to the problem that she is lost, she starts to get upset again but Eevee is quick to cheer her back up again as she starts to show her the way out of woods.
She meets Riolu when she goes to a poke stop when Eevee gets hurt one day. While they’re waiting she sees an angered Riolu. She goes to try and help out the poor trainer and Nurse Joy who are having a hard time trying to come down the pokemon. They notice her coming over and try to warn her to stay away but she doesn’t listen and crouches down to the Riolu’s height. This immediately catches the Riolu’s attention who stops struggling and stares at her with a distrustful look. She starts to calm him down as she speaks to him in a low calm voice. To the amazement of Nurse Joy and the Riolu’s trainer it actually worked, the Riolu started to calm down. Izumi started to play with the Riolu and found out that the Riolu just wanted to battle and get stronger but with the trainer's profession, he can’t really do so. Izumi got a good idea that once Eevee was better that she wouldn’t mind battling with Riolu to relieve it of it’s pent up energy. Eevee agrees to this when she gets done. They battle and Riolu loses, the trainer sees that Izumi would be much better for Riolu then he would and gives Riolu to Izumi. She accepts and Riolu joins Izumi’s team.
Izumi meets Cosmog when she’s out in the woods with Eevee and Riolu. They’re training when a wormhole opens up in the sky and something falls out of it. It falls near them and they go to investigate, what they find is Cosmog extremely hurt and passed out. See the helpless pokemon, Izumi picks him up and starts to run as she hears voices in the distance. They’re able to make it a safe distance and that’s when Izumi starts to use super potions and different types of berries to help him get his strength and health back. once he’s all healed up Izumi delicately put him in her backpack and makes her way home. During the next two weeks, Izumi learns about Cosmog (learning what type of pokemon he is and seeing what type of moves he might have) and he eventually joins her team. Close to the three-week mark, Inko learns about Cosmog and with some reluctance lets Izumi keep him as long as they take him to the professor to make sure that he stays healthy.
The next pokemon that Izumi and her team meets is Popplio. They meet Popplio when they are visiting the professor as a class. This is the time that most kids get their starter pokemon (there are starter pokemon from all different generations). Everyone has picked out their starter but there is a lone Popplio that Izumi notices being separated from everyone else. He’s extra small so no one else wants him but Izumi brings out Eevee and Riolu to play with the Popplio. They all start to have fun but then Bakugou with his Cyndaquil and Charmander. He starts to bug them and hurt Riolu and Eevee, Popplio gets upset and uses a water attack to scare them off. Izumi is grateful to Popplio and heals them up. Popplio forms a bond Izumi and her other pokemon and asks to be a part of the team.
The next member of the team is Ralts who Izumi hatches out of one of her mother’s Gardiviors eggs. With the help of her mother, Nurse Joy, and the Professor he learns about taking care of pokemon eggs and different aspects of taking care of and training pokemon. Bakugou is jealous of all of the pokemon that Izumi is getting and tries to sabotage her but when he’s closest to succeeding the egg hatches and Ralts is born. The other’s are able to defeat Bakugou’s team and Ralts is added to the party.
Lastly is Mimikyu, Izumi meets Shinso when he is running from his own group of bullies with his Purrloin and Gothita. She and her team help them get away from the group and they hide in the forest. In there they meet a group of Ghost and Dark-type pokemon who they end up playing with. After some time they end up having to go home but not before agreeing to meet up back there after school the next day. This continues on for a few weeks when Shinso’s bullies eventual corner them in front of the woods. They accuse Shinso of using his quirk on Izumi and the pokemon to make them be nice to him. They all fail to notice the group of pokemon that the two bullied kids have been playing with these past few weeks watching from the sidelines. When the bullies go to attack the two before they can call out their pokemon a Mimikyu and Inkay come to the two’s rescue. They help them scare off the bullies with the help of the two trainers pokemon. After battling with them the two pokemon wish to join their teams, with Mimikyu joining Izumi and Inkay joining Shinso.
Finally, Pokemon backstories are done. Next is character teams and let me just tell you this took me FOREVER!!!! And I barely even like some of these teams. I really tried to give everybody a different team that kind of looked like a pokemon that they would have on their team but in all honesty, I probably did horribly. Yaoyorozu’s and Sero’s teams were soooo hard!!! I didn’t even finish Yaoyorazu’s team I just couldn’t find any that I felt were really her. So /please/, I beg of /anybody/ who reads this that knows pokemon that would be good for them /please/ help me! Stars will be next to the teams that I really like or next to the pokemon that I like but that doesn’t mean that they are off the table, if you give me a suggestion that I really like in place of that pokemon I will gladly put it in. Also if you think of any pokemon for a character that is not on the list below then please don’t be afraid to message me in any way about them and I might just put them on the list. Again I will /happily/ take help with these teams so please don’t be afraid to give me any suggestions you have! Now! On to the rather long list!!

For anyone who actually got this far thanks for reading and I hope that it wasn’t just a big waste of your time. Thanks!
