My personal Shigaraki Tomura Headcannons that I will defend with my life
—
He’s actually pretty shy. He keeps to himself, he’s not going to tell you about his interests unless he trusts you with his life, he won’t even so much as share his favorite foods with you if he doesn’t know you well enough. Not because he’s afraid you’ll make fun of him for it— he just genuinely finds opening up to be embarrassing and prefers not too if he can help it.
He never lost his love for video games and he still thinks about strategies with a lot of the terms in mind. Being the leader of the league of villains and losing the original hide out made him pull the break on his hobby’s.
He likes to draw. He figured out at an early age that art doesn’t take all five fingers. It started as something silly he did when he didn’t feel like paying attention to kurogiri, and steadily over the years it’s become something he relies on to help with stress
He wears all black because he’s too lazy to figure out what looks good. He does care about his appearance, but not badly enough to go through multiple outfits.
He’s actually really self conscious of the scars on his face. He thinks they make him look weak, unkept and disgusting. If he could change anything about himself he’d get rid of them in an instant.
Due to his self conscious nature regarding his looks— he’s super on top of everything else. As a kid he was so worried about looking the way he does and smelling, that he actually had to be temporarily banned from using cologne and body spray because of how overwhelming it got for everyone around him.
He has insanely good handwriting. It’s actually really alarming to see for the first time.
His internal dictionary is also pretty well established. Shigaraki is not afraid to use big words, and he tends to use extremely well put together sentences, both verbally and otherwise.
AFO made sure shigaraki had a proper education, even going as far as to hire private tutors, which is why his vocabulary is so top of the line.
(Sometimes while speaking the league will stop him midway through and ask him to use ‘normal people’ words)
He does have manners— some might even say he has an annoying amount of manners. And he will get pissed off if people don’t follow his footsteps, especially if the situation calls for it.
That being said he has never— and will never— sit in a chair properly. His legs are all over the fucking place and that’s how he likes it.
Growing up he wore mittens to bed to stop from absolutely disintegrating his mattress because he’s a stomach sleeper.
He sleeps with his mouth open, he drools AND he snores.
Contrary to what you may think, he’s not going to be an angry spiteful boyfriend.
He takes everything to heart because he hates everything, that’s who he is and that’s what he does! But he doesn’t hate you. So he will learn to take things with a grain of salt when it comes to you.
He’s not going to be a confrontational type of guy with you, he knows it wouldn’t solve anything if he came in with guns blazing. He doesn’t want you to ever see him that angry as long as he can help it.
He’s not going to apologize if things go wrong on his end though— at least not vocally. Honestly he doesn’t even know how to apologize, so you’ll just get a gift or some tighter cuddles that night compared to usual.
He’s afraid of spiders. He thanks the universe every single day that there isn’t some weird ass mutated spider hero that he has to deal with.
His “rebellion phase” was just him trying to overcome his murderous thoughts. (It didn’t work)
This man loves loitering. It’s the stupidest crime there is and he genuinely cannot get enough of it.
It took him an embarrassingly long time to understand that not everyone had endless amounts of money. Growing up he could order or buy whatever he wanted, so he just assumed that’s how the world worked for everyone until his early teens
If he were to start developing feelings for you, he wouldn’t know what the hell was going on. “Love” and “attraction” are not emotions he’s familiar with.
He will absolutely test out his theory by building a life with you in the sims.
Shockingly enough he’s not opposed to having kids. It’s just not something he’d ever think about unless you were to bring it up.
He has a My Chemical Romance hoodie tucked into the very back of his closet.
He collects vinyl records
He doesn’t like animals but if he had to choose between a dog or a cat he’d choose a cat.
Yes— he does own a pair of pink fuzzy bunny slippers, your suspicions are correct. (They’re so comfortable but he’d never been caught dead wearing them)
As a kid he collected bottle caps, he still has one he carry’s around with him as a good luck charm
He constantly forgets to tell you where he’s going and how long he’ll be gone— and he’s never on his phone so don’t expect him to answer your texts or calls if you’re worried.
A Domesticated shigaraki is just like having an old man as a pet. He complains— is a little too good at playing chess— is always wearing some kind of pajamas and smells like aftershave
Has the largest sweet tooth you’ve ever encountered. This guy could eat an entire cake in a single sitting and not get nauseous.
He either won’t eat at all and then gets pissed because he’s hungry or he’ll eat too much and get pissed that he’s full
He keeps a small sketch book on him at all times and 80% of the pages are of you
He’ll eat anything once, including shit he finds on the floor
One of his front teeth is fake, the adult tooth literally just never grew in
He hates hero’s but sometimes in order to get ideas he reads old marvel comics
He’s a green goblin stan
He has a “shoot first ask questions later” mentality that no one can take away from him. He simply does not gaf what your reasons are
He’ll kill anyone regardless, but he goes a lot harder on people with outdated opinions
love blocking people because theyre annoying
how it feels giving all ur favorite characters ur own characteristics
not only imagined but also tried a few ideas 😉
did you imagine your own tragic death a lot as a child or are you normal
that's what I'm talking abt when I say I wanna date my friends
is anyone up for some platonic intimacy that is lowkey erotic
and kill him in the end while calling it "saving"!! omg I love being a hero!
haven't seen a mha version of this meme + i can't resist picking low hanging fruit
if you find more I beg you please drop the names, I can't I read all of the possible fics already
Guys i NEED more leo-valdez-having-a-mental-breakdown-and-overusing-his-powers fics, i NEED more leo valdez-centric fics, i NEED more leo valdez angst, I NEED MORE LEO VALDEZ
Ohhh i forgot abt this! Man, LoL playres are something else and poor Tenko was certainly way too young to be around those weirdos
And i don't like this fact but he probably was also pretty fucking weird about all sort of things like women and lgbt people cause we know how those guys are and how they talk abt those stuff
I swear this only gets sadder, that poor boy went throught Hell and back during all his life and the fact this isn't so discussed kills me
Tenko spent most of his life in isolation without anyone to be affectionate towards and feel affection from. He was five when he got took in by afo and twenty/twenty one when he got the league together. THATS STILL AROUND FIFTEEN YEARS OF BEING ALONE; and for what?!? Being a puppet for afo? Kill me. The majority of his life was probably spent silently longing for something, someone, because that’s what humans do!!!! They crave connection, communication, a community. He got none of that until he was already an adult, skipping his childhood, a very important part for human development. I couldn’t imagine ANYONE who would spent at least one year mostly alone and turn out fine. I know this is talked about a lot already but I want to keep talking about it. no friends or family to simply be around, no one to teach him about the simple things of life, he had to go through so many phases alone; and sure maybe he had an online friend or two, but there’s only so much closure you can get through a screen. how many times do you think this boy has been told ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m proud of you’ GENUINELY. This hits a little too close to home for me and I just wanted to yap about it. I’d love to hear any other thoughts as well :)!
he/him (also they/them if u want to) currently Tomura Shigaraki obsessed (😞) Also I'm 17 now :P
