who do u ship with aizawa
*cracks knuckles* *breaks them*
Okay, full disclosure, the more common Aizawa ships are fantastic. Erasermic is a ship of all time that makes non-fans genuinely ask me "wait, that isn't canon?" Erasermight is a classic black cat/golden retriever pair, and the concept of Shigaraki being an Eraserhead fanboy is hilarious for a lot of reasons that Eraserdust always capitalizes on.
HOWEVER!
As some of you may know, I am a teacher/student freak and Aizawa is way too perfect a candidate to break so hard that he loses all his better judgement and ends up with a cute boy half his age.
Shinzawa is the most obvious choice and it's been my favorite for a while. I think both of them are severely lacking in people that think like them. They end up surrounded by extroverts that, while friendly, can be a bit exhausting to be around. Two cat lovers just content being quiet in each other's company is such a calming energy that they would both love. Plus, I feel like Aizawa is the only person that can make Shinsou genuinely nervous and anxious to a degree. He has a lot to prove taking on his combat methods so it's hard to seem confident and in control when, as a teacher, Shouta is so privy to his stumbles as he learns. It's cute!!
Aideku is one that I have gotten obsessed with in the last few weeks after the manga ended. The fact that they're coworkers now opens up so much for their interactions. Shouta's little problem student fumbling through adulthood with that sweet infectious smile on his face. I just know Izuku would tut and fuss over Aizawa's health now that he's interacting him with less of a power imbalance. He definitely slips and calls him sensei all the time even though he's also a teacher now. It's like he's barely grown up at all and honestly some of that youthful vigor might be good for Shouta too.
Aibaku is a very similar flavor but way more volatile. Where Izuku would be defiant but ultimately willing to shrink down and admit fault if Aizawa was pissed with him, Katsuki bites back and needs more...force to put him back in his place. It's a great initial vibe but it also lends itself to Katsuki getting ripped asunder emotionally with how observant Aizawa is. There's no way he wouldn't pick up on Katsuki's sensitive points and push for him to let them out instead of just snapping at everyone to keep them at a distance. It's a firm hand that Katsuki desperately needs sometimes and it's hot as fuck when someone can get Bakugou to cry.
