Summary:
“When I was five, I burned my sheets and almost passed out,” he huffed, humorless. “The nitroglycerin, it messes with my blood pressure. But my mom just grinned because my Quirk had come in, and for a second, I forgot to be scared of it.”

or: bakugou katsuki and mina ashido talk about having a destructive quirk, being scared, and being a hero
I’ve been getting into mha lately and I’ve seen multiple mentions of how powerful Inko Midoriya’s quirk could be if applied correctly. “The ability to pull small objects to her” The way I see it there are two limitations on this quirk. What constitutes “small” and what constitutes an “object.” Now for the sake of this discussion I’m defining an object as something that is not directly connected to anything else, for instance a tree branch wouldn’t work because it is connected to the rest of the tree which removes it from the “small” classification. Because of this, many of the destructive options have been ruled out. Things like eyes, teeth, and fingernails could not be pulled because they are directly connected to the rest of the body.
But you know what’s not directly connected to the rest of the body but is vital for a humans normal functions?
Otoconia.
“Now spout,” hear you asking, “What the heck are Otoconia?”
In rough terms, they’re these tiny little crystals in a humans inner ear that we need in order to sense which way is up and keep our balance, as well as to hear properly. Tiny little crystals not connected to anything else.
I think you can see where I’m going with this.
So even if Inko Midoriya can’t yoink your spleen, she can absolutely destroy you in far more creative ways :)
Quirk idea- For every small/useless information you tell them, they’re able to see something about your future or automatically know something you’ve never told anyone. Results will be effected by what type of info is told.
For example: If this quirk user hears what your favorite color is, it’ll lead to the expose of your crush, people you hate or lil things you hide specifically from parents/friends/bosses etc.
Though if someone ends up affected by your answer, quirk is more effective and can see small things like what you’ll eat for dinner, or what you’ll wear the next day.
I know it’s confusing so I’ll try to explain: Say you say your favorite color and multiple people also agree and share the same favorite color, or someone who has a crush on you counts this as valuable Info. Your answer has started a connection and is less useless than if you shared your favorite color and no one cared or agreed.
Also quirk only works if the person says something about themselves. If quirk user hears information about someone else from you, it’s ineffective.
Said quirk user can ask and still receive useless information but the quirk is not as effective. Works better when things are accidentally said and without meaning, adding to the saying “useless info”.
With big parts of future being seen, you’ll have to be confessing something big, such as crime, unfaithfulness to your loved one, contemplating suicide etc.
Again, Quirk user will have to accidentally witness this, although it seems rare, it’s happens a lot for said quirk user and is definitely annoying because they have to pass on the information they’ve received or they’ll end up in pain.
If quirk user cannot exactly pass on information gained from information received. They can loophole and share small parts of the persons secrets and future to lesson the pain. Though pain can wear off even if quirk user has not completed the gossip, but the people involved would have to be forgetting the info or have passed away.
They can either tell the person who is connected to the info or someone random.
Quirk name: Gossip(?)
Ngl it still needs work and I don’t have a character, I just thought it was cool idea.
Uuuh angst thing where Mina and Denki exchange quirk for like a week and all the side effects of Denki’s quirk are discovered ? All of his ways of avoiding them as much as he can too-
List of side effects that come from nowhere but my need for angst and a bit of rational thinking :
Constant buzzing in his head, which makes it difficult to focus on anything else and brings headaches,
sometimes having too much electricity in his body and having to let it out (through charging phones and batteries and stuff)
or not having enough and having to get charged,
too much energy making him bounce his legs or tap a rythm on his desk or move a lot (also keeping him from sleeping most of the time) or not enough making him lethargic and not really capable of moving.
having to use a blanket that don’t conduct electricity when sleeping (because nightmares and a building full of electricity aren’t that good together)
For the fun side effects, static hair and his eyes/electricity under his skin being visible in the dark (it’s beautiful)
So he has to teach all of it to Mina, and people finally understand where stuff like his bad grades and weird combination of clearly exhausted/way too energic come from. This dumy wouldn’t have told them of course- they already think he has a hard time controlling his quirk (which, like, he could k*ll the whole school if he didn’t pay attention so, thank you very much, he does know how to control his quirk a bit)- and he would be scared of being taken out of the hero course because of all of that.
He just receives a visit to Recovery Girl, Aizawa getting angry that he didn’t tell them before and teachers helping him with his classes more. They probably just thought he was lazy and, well most of the teachers are heroes first and foremost so like ? They haven’t gotten any training in how to be a teacher, probably. Idk
I know it’s wrong, but it’s so hard to stop it alone (I can reach out to someone not like me)
Quirks are a mysterious phenomenon. Sure you could study quirk genetics as you would with any other science, but do not forget that science is just magic that can be explained. Unfortunately for everyone living with quirks, there can be unforeseen consequences. Have you ever thought (and I mean really thought) about how the quirk gene affects the DNA, about how the body compensates for these supernatural abilities? One girl, Momo Yaoyorozu , thinks about this every day. Sure there are quirks that are not compatible with the person's body, such as Yuga Aoyama or Izuku Midoriya, but that is not Momo's problem. No, her problem is that her quirk is too compatible with her body And that is something that is constantly plaguing her mind.

Chapter 1:
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tunnel vision on the flaws
In the scale of things it's unimportant
So no talking but it's still an intrusive thought
I'm shivering and shaking, and I tell myself it's fine, but
You can't fool your body, you can only fool your mind

Being an underground hero meant that being observant was essential for survival, this was undoubtedly something Aizawa knew. As a UA teacher, he had to use his quirk on his students often, in an attempt to prepare them not to rely on their quirk so much. Every time he used his quirk on a certain student, Momo Yaoyorozo, he could see a brief flash of panic run across her eyes, before she regained her composure. He chalked it up to the fact that since her quirk was extremely strong, she was less confident in her abilities outside of it. He earnestly tried gently encouraging her in his own ¨Aizawa¨ way whenever they practice combat without quirks (the ¨encouragement¨ consisted mostly of telling her that she ¨did ok¨ but that was really the most praise you could get out of him.) Shockingly, despite Aizawa´s best efforts Yaoyorozu still always flinched when she felt her quirk depart from her body. This really made Aizawa sad, try as he might to conceal his feelings, he deeply genuinely cared about his students. He didn't have favorites but if he did, Yaoyorozu would be rightfully it (Shinsou doesn't count since he is his son.) Yaoyorozu by heart was a studious young girl; who had ambition, skills, and never goofed off. So why she was so deeply insecure, Aizawa didn't know.
He thinks he started to piece it together when he overheard ¨The 1A Gurlz¨ (as they have affectionately dubbed themselves) discussing the topic of motherhood after class.
¨I don't know if I'll want children, maybe someday, though it's unlikely, kero¨, Tsuyu said.
¨HELL NO, I don't got time for kids when I'm a hero¨ said Mina.
¨Hell yeah, stick it to the patriarchy!¨ Jiro fist-bumped her pink friend's fist.
¨I kinda agree with Mina, I like the idea of children, but heroes are awfully busy. Plus what if it puts the child at risk since villains would target them¨. Uraraka said.
The rest of the girls nodded understandingly but Hagakure sighed, ¨Still I'd love to be a mother one day¨.
Jiro rolled her eyes, ¨you´re such a romantic, Hagakure, no wonder Ojiro is head-over-heels in love with you¨. She tried to give her invisible friend a playful shove, but missed and had to promptly catch herself. Hagakure´s quirk meant that her skin cells refract the light around her making her invisible. Unfortunately, this did not apply to her blood cells; she was blushing beet red. She stammered a lot until Tsuyu interjected with a question she had.
¨Would a Hagakure-Ojiro child be visible but with an invisible tail?¨
¨Or maybe they would be all invisible except for the tail!”, Ururaka exclaimed
¨so you would just see a floating tail?¨ Mina asked. The girls burst out with laughter (even Yaoyorozu, who throughout the conversation has remained stiff and quiet, started to giggle).
¨What about you Momo? You've been awfully quiet ¨ Uraraka turned to Momo. Now all the attention was on Yaoyorozu, and she did her best not to look visibly distressed.
” You ok ‘Mo?” Jiro quietly asked, always showing concern for her girlfriend.
¨I-I I'm fine! Um, I just...¨, Yaoyorozu stammered, ¨I´d sincerely like to be a mother one day...b-but I'd probably have to adopt since...you know...¨ Jiro and Yaoyorozu both blushed and looked elsewhere, ¨also I worry… about...some unintended ramifications of my DNA if their quirk is...Not...” Yaoyorozu trailed off. The lunch bell rang and “The 1A Gurlz” left, Yaoyorozu stayed behind for a second before taking a deep breath and walking out the door. Aizawa was extremely concerned, to say the least, he made a note to keep an eye on Yaoyorozu to make sure she was safe.
Kyoka Jiro was a very insecure girl, sure at first glance, she seemed confident and stand-offish that was not at all how she felt inside. She cringes at the memory of being sad that m*neta wasn’t harassing her but harassing all the other 1A Gurlz. Internalized misogyny was SO not punk rock. Sure she liked being her authentic self but there were times she wished her authentic self was seen as normal. It took her a long time to accept her feelings for Momo, and even longer to actually ask her out. But- it was ‘Mo; beautiful, smart, badass MOMO! How could she deny or hide her feelings for such a wonderful girl? Gradually with the help of her friends, Kyoka started increasing her confidence. Kyoka recognized that Momo was just as insecure as she was, though she could never understand why. Why would someone as competent, skilled, and amazing as Yaoyorozu Momo not be able to recognize how she lights up everybody’s life? Nevertheless, she recognized that ‘Mo was in pain, and she needed to support her. She just wasn’t sure how. At lunch Momo looked down at her food sadly, she still ate, thank goodness, Kyoka thought. Though Momo was always a stickler for portion control, what she ate, and when. Come to think of it , Kyoka pursed her lips, s he’s always been a little obsessive when it comes to food. Make no mistake Momo was not starving herself. She consistently made sure she had enough to eat- her quirk depended on it after all. Knowing ‘Mo it’s probably a system designed specifically for her quirk -that nerd, Kyoka thought to herself with a smile, still she does put an awful lot of planning into what she eats.
After lunch, the young couple headed toYaoyorozu's dorm to study. Jiro was a bit behind so she was grateful for the extra help. Kyoka sat comfortably on Momo's bed, her head resting peacefully on her lap as they head the hero studies textbook together. It was serene and peaceful. Momo cherished these small and intimate moments with her partner. We´ve been through so much lately... it was nice for the biggest problem to be an upcoming exam, she thought with a smile. T hick thighs save lives, Kyoka thought happily as she absentmindedly patted her GF's thigh. She then felt Momo tense up from underneath her when she did that.
¨...’Mo?¨
¨Hm? Yes?¨
¨What's wrong?¨
¨N-nothing! I'm fine!", Momo looked away and clutched her stomach.
¨Momo...¨ Kyoka rolled over and gently took her girlfriend's graceful hands in her own. ¨you're beautiful you know that right?¨
Momo blushed, ¨as are you, Kyoka¨. Kyoka´s placed her hand on Momo's face and slowly bridged the gap, as they shared a tender kiss.
Here’s another post on quirk study (as I like to call it). I’ve always been really interested in the Bakugou’s quirks so I’m going to start with Mitsuki’s quirk.
So Mitsuki’s quirk gives her the ability to create glycerin from her skin, helping to maintain her youthful appearance. Due to the glycerin and it’s moisturising affects, it helps keep her skin in great quality.
There isn’t much on Misuki’s quirk so I done a little bit of research on Masaru’s quirk too.
Masaru’s quirk is “Oxidizing Sweat” or Acid Sweat. It allows him to secrete acidic sweat with combustible properties from the palms of his hands. However, he can’t forcefully create it, as it comes out like normal sweat. If he rubs his hands together to create friction, he can create explosions.
So, we can see where Katsuki’s quirk comes from. As I said before, it’s not directly half of the mothers quirk and half of the fathers. Masaru can create explosive or acidic sweat, but can’t forcefully create it on the spot. Where as Katsuki can forcefully create nitroglycerin like sweat that can create explosions. I’m assuming since he can forcefully secrete it, he gets that from Mitsuki.
So, the quirk study for today. I think if I write a next post studying quirks, I might write it in Shoji Mezo or Tokoyami Fumikage.
Due to Todoroki’s quirk, half of his body is colder than the other. Though the body temperature for each respective halves is a little concerning, not within a healthy human spectrum.
No wonder why Todoroki is able to withstand his quirk’s extreme temperature fluctuations.
I didn’t realize that it would be split down the middle. I wonder what else is split down the middle...
Side note: the temperature around the scar is a little darker (which means it’s colder) does this mean that the area of the scar is dead or damaged skin cells and can’t regulate heat properly? Can Todoroki feel anything on his scar?
I wanna know if he can feel electricity and like, send a charge or draw some out and figure out which path it took. If he was able to, he would be able to activate/deactivate electricity powered devices without triggering anything near it, with enough control.
I want to know if, if you erase his quirk, ALL electricity leaves his body or if only the ´quirk’ electricity does. How can his body stand that much of it ? We know bodies aren’t always compatible with quirks.
If he CAN feel the electricity around him, how far ? Can he feels, when he touches people, the way it runs through their body ?
... could he take all the electricity out from someone’s body ?
