Chomp Chomp 🦈🦈💦

Alright, so I constantly talk about the MHA fandom’s inability to tell the difference between a head-canon and canon. Now I’ve gotta ask: what’s the worst head-canon you’ve seen from the MHA fandom?

For me, there’s two. First is one I’ve seen on a YouTube comment where someone said that Katsuki was Buddhist and was giving Katsuki sound advice when suicide baiting him. I really gotta find that image cause it was hilarious 😂. Second is when people turn Yui Kodai into someone hornier than Minoru. I have no idea what it is about Yui that causes people to make her so thirsty cause in canon she’s a quiet af person who doesn’t have a single moment of her lusting after someone 😭.

Arbitrarily and at the last minute deciding I want to draw my GIRLS for GIRLWEEK

Renkaza / Akaren Requests [Opened till October 5th] Click in bio!

Hey y’all how are you? And welcome to my page, or rather this post specifically. For private reasons I won’t disclose any of my identity, but I assure you I’m over 18+ and I go by she / her pronouns.

I’ve only recently gotten into this ship but it feels like I’m not really actively engaging in the ship despite my hyperfixtation on it, so for that I decided to create this post. But I also created this post because I’m currently on a burnout with a fanfic of mine that’s basically a big project but I’m still itching to write atleast something.

This is also my first time writing these two characters, let alone KNY / Demon Slayer. I intend to write my fanfic as accurate as possible to the plot so I’m open to constructive criticism (keyword: constructive, not hate).

Currently I have zero ideas, so I’m asking whoever’s reading this to send me requests. However not every request you send I will accept, only if said request crosses a specific boundary I didn’t list below. And the requests I do accept will have it’s own hashtag or will be linked below so you could easily access.

I will only be doing oneshots, however if I find myself enjoying the prompt I may extend the fic into multiple chapters.

You can send requests both user and anonymously, I don’t mind either way!

Rules:

•Short prompt, maximum 100 words. Sorry I will get a little overwhelmed if you send me a very long request. However feel free to send additional information afterwards only if you’ve forgotten and it’s crucial to the prompt. (Make sure you list the tags, theme or refs -not included in the word limit- Will it be Crack? Angst? Horror? Fluff? And try not to be too vague about your requests please)

•If you want me to do an AU inspired by another entertainment media, please ask because I may not be familiar with it. Once I approve you can send the full prompt.

•No NSFW, that which I mean no sexual content. This includes description of nudity, masturbation, softcore, kinks, and especially non-con / coercion / rape. (Pretty self explanatory, because I’m the type of person that enjoys consent no matter what)

•No proship, that’s also self explanatory.

•Unless the background ship’s are explicitly stated, all other relationships will stick to canon.

Additional Information:

Don’t plagiarise, repost, make fanwork of my fanfic or request for collab. Sorry I’m not comfortable with anyone making fanwork, and I’m not available whatsoever to do a collab.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding which prompt I will or will not be accepting that I haven’t listed here, don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll be happy to answer!

My replies or updates will be very slow so please be patient with me.

Thank you for reading and respecting my wishes.

Stories:

The Greatest Boy In The World: Izuku Midoirya

This was originally part of a discussion I was having with @mikeellee but it got huge so this became its own thing. When I call Izuku privileged, I meant from multiple levels.

We've got our viewpoint, where we see beyond what the narrative shows us: a bunch of fake friends, an abusive rival, shoddy mentors, a school that failed him constantly.

Then there's what the narrative tells us: 1-A as a family, Bakugo as his best friend, him liking Aizawa, Nighteye, All Might and so on, and apparently Izuku's issues being something he himself needed to work on and not something that an educational facility should have been able to help him fix.

But here's why I say it.

What does Izuku actually lose across the story? Every single situation meant to bring tension and danger turns out to not come to pass, or gets walked back right away.

His teacher is a hard ass who seems to have it out for him? Well, no, Aizawa cools off entirely and is just there to be a grumpy toothless dragon. His bark is far worse than his bite. He'll make constant threats but never act on any of them.

Izuku is fresh to using his quirk and his classmates are all ahead of him? No, Izuku actually does way better than the majority of these loser kids and only actually lost to Shoto because, 1, he decided to sacrifice his win to taunt Shoto into using fire, and 2, bad luck.

Izuku's arms are in serious danger and breaking them could ruin their use for good? Nothing ever becomes of this. He breaks both arms against Muscular, uses a primarily kick based fighting style, then goes ham against Shigaraki during the first war arc. They reveal that, no, actually, OFA adapted to his body and prevents him from getting hurt so badly anymore and it prevents permanent damage.

He then loses his arms in the most nonsensical way possible, via a dream sequence? Only to have Eri mutilate herself (how did she know she could do that, how did they know it would work, why was she allowed and helped by Ectoplasm to do this?) and walk it back right away. His arms are restored so he can punch Shigaraki apart with the embers of OFA.

Losing his arms was completely meaningless and was done entirely for shock value.

Izuku's habit of going plus ultra is dangerous and people warn him it'll end poorly? Actually, no. Every single time he's gone plus ultra, he's saved a life or it worked out for him in the end. He scarred up his arms fighting Shoto, just for this to lead to Shoto coming to his and Iida's rescue in Hosu. He fought Gentle and La Brava and got criticism for it, but that turned out to be one of the best decisions he ever made, because they came back to save EVERYONE in the final war arc. He risks his life to save Bakugo and gets yelled at by the pro heroes, and then All Might decides he's his new successor and tells him he's worthy. He kept poking at Kota who just wanted to be left alone? He's in a prime location to save this little boy's life.

The only negative outcome of his reckless habit of going plus ultra was him losing to Dictator, who is then near instantly defeated by his classmates who happened to show up just in time to save him.

When you compare this guy to other shonen mcs and just look at the end results, what did Izuku lose?

He lost his quirk, but according to Izuku, he never really was all that serious about being a hero and always wanted to be a teacher. Regardless of if he lost his quirk or not.

Oh, but then his friends gave him an ironman suit anyways so he can do hero work when he's not being a teacher.

He gets a pity shonen hetero relationship, as one does in this genre.

He's known as the greatest hero who inspired the entire world to be more kind.

He didn't lose a single friend. None of his mentors died, besides Nighteye who was killed in the same arc he was introduced in. And I guess Midnight?

He's also never lost a real fight. Besides school games and the fight with Bakugo, what Ls has this guy ever taken? He either beats his enemy, an ally comes to his rescue and wins, or the enemy flees.

Even the abysmal 8 year timeskip was another of the author's fakeouts. He makes you believe that Izuku gave up on his dream and is no longer a hero, that he's super sad he doesn't get to see them as often, then his friends arrive to give him a handout just as All Might did all those years ago. What was originally meant to be the final chapter ends with Midoriya leaping into action with all his friends.

The author uses negative events and dumps on this guy to make you feel sorry for him and to make him seem like an underdog. Even his backstory is just that: a Cinderella story to get you to like him.

The author just walked the ending back because of fan backlash.

So rather than being a guy who doesn't try and needed his friends to even be a hero again without a quirk, he's a guy who only wants to play hero on the weekends.

Compare this to other Shonen MCs. Naruto at least lost his mentor and had his friend Neji die. Luffy lost his brother and has also lost multiple people across his journey who helped him, Pedro being one of them. There's also Jujutsu Kaisen which is absolutely excessive with how much it torments Yuji, but boy does that guy suffer for his victories.

Does Izuku even actually have any personality flaws? His flaw is that he's too heroic and he's too self sacrificing. But that's like saying he's too awesome.

People just act like the muttering is creepy and he's a loser for being a hero nerd, but what actual impact does that have on anything in his life? He still gets the friends, the fame, and the girl.

At no point is he ever socially isolated once he gets to UA nor is he seen as one of the weird or lame kids or anything like that. He's the heart of the class. The only person who ever dislikes him are people the narrative specifically frames as antagonists or mentors whose respect he has to earn, and Bakugo.

Even his dark hero arc where he left his friends to go out and become a hero…completely fucks up the moral because many characters would be DEAD if he hadn't left school to go save people.

The giant lady? Dead via a hate crime. Yo Shindo, his girlfriend, and the civilians they were protecting? Dead at Muscular's hands. All of All For One's assassins he sent after Izuku? Would still be at large and in AFO's pocket for the final war arc.

The numerous villains Deku beat down in defense of citizens? Still rampaging. Still killing people.

His friends left the ivory tower of UA to bitch at Izuku for saving lives and isolating himself while the narrative ignores this very real fact.

Hell, Lady Nagant wouldn't have been redeemed if he didn't do that. A world where he stayed at UA is an objectively worse off universe.

You see what I mean? Even when he does wrong, it ends up right.

Has Izuku ever actually make a mistake or choice in this story that wasn't rewarded or shown later to be the right one?

No.

He's a paragon of morality and good who the narrative warps reality around to ensure his actions have no lasting consequences for anyone.

Think about it. Let's take a look at how he said he'd save Shigaraki and didn't. What consequences came of that? Nothing. Spinner got mad at him for a few seconds and then Izuku talks him down and the guy decides to write a book.

Did heroes take Izuku's example of killing being a way to save people and use that to justify killing villains who don't surrender? No.

Was Izuku's triumph used by bad actors who wanted to push an agenda that would oppress more people and eventually create more people like the League? No.

Is there some threat out there that could have been handled by the power of One For All but couldn't be because the quirk is gone? No.

The world is actually more peaceful than it's ever been! Meaning even if Izuku kept his power, he'd probably be out of a job soon. Allegedly.

Did the death of Shigaraki, leader of the PLF, trigger second and third waves of terrorism from his followers who escaped capture? Did society have to face the backlash of this and it complicated the efforts to rebuild? No, the MLA might as well not have even existed.

Nothing happens. Deku just sometimes thinks back to Shigaraki while he enjoys what he claims is his dream job.

So that's my reasoning. He's simultaneously privileged but also gets shit on. His life sucks, but it's also awesome. His actions are dangerous and reckless, but they save lives and always result in a positive outcome.

I'd actually argue that the author dumping on Izuku is meant to portray him as a false underdog so you don't notice his other qualities. And of course, because he doesn't like the guy, but we already know that.

What is with the constant fetishisation of rape and SA on this app and in fan fiction?? I get people have their kinks n shit but rape??? Really???

Not only that but the amount of pedophilia and incest is insane😟

I try not to be judgemental but I don’t get why you would want to read about yourself or someone else being SA how does that not make you uncomfortable and normalising shit like that is so not okay. It is not romance. It is not dark romance. It’s abuse and it’s gross.

I get that people are into different things and that you can’t control what you like most of the time but the normalisation of this stuff is crazy and so damaging especially to minors and victims.

I get CNC like atleast there’s consent in that but straight up violent rape fiction is weird and scary.

Anyway thanks for reading my lil rant!! love you all, stay happy and safe MWAH 💋

Edit: I have a reblog answering a few questions 🫶

So there's a strange "defense" of Miraculous I've seen crop up on occasion. The idea that everything wrong about the Lovesquare powerdynamic is deliberate and will all be explored next season (lets put aside that this defense has been cropping up for 3 seasons now). The claim that Soon(TM), the writers are gonna make the characters face the concequences and explore the fallout of the entire jenga-tower of BS they've been "carefully" setting up all along... Which... isnt a defense I vibe with, cause it fundamentally boils down to "its not a Kids Rolemodel Show, its a deconstruction of a Kids Rolemodel Show". It's a defence that would place Marinette alongside Tyler Durden, Walter White and Rick Sanchez in the "you werent supposed to relate to them" pantheon. And while i think there are plenty of reasons that deconstruction is a usefull tool (even if i hate the dime-a-dozen "Childrens Fairytale but its depression" and "Superman, but psycho"' decon-stories out there). I'd argue 'Kids Rolemodel Show' is the one genre that should never be deconstructed, or at least not in the slow-burn,long-form way the people arguing this claim the show to be doing. And i hold that stance for one simple two-part reason: Poe's law, and the fact that the deconstructed genre is aimed at an audience with absolute zero media-literacy. (reminder: "5-6 year old kids" is the one audience where that is not an insult, simply a statement of fact.) A show aimed deconstructing a genre with an audience for whom it may actually be their first big piece of media is legitimately dangerous. Because there is no way a 5 year old can be expected to tell "deconstruction of a formulaic kids cartoon" from "Formulaic kids cartoon". The idea that "they've been making Marinette into a bad example deliberately and are going to reveal the entire show to have been a carefull ruse in season 6/7" is supposed to be a defense? Its frankly absurd. A 6 year kid who watched the show when it first aired and idolised Ladybug, could be old enough to drink by the time S6 reveals she was supposed to be a bad example. A little girl who based her relationships on the way Mari pursues romance would have a restraining order by the time the show indends to pull this twist. And some of y'all are claiming that "actually its a long-form deconstruction" is a defense? I legit don't get y'all.

I have a question, in a certain part of the fandom when it comes to criticizing characters like Bakugou, Endeavor, etc., an answer that is repeated a lot is that those who criticize don't understand the cultural context of Japan and therefore we don't understand the way in which Horikoshi wrote. But is this really true? I don't deny that there are aspects of Japanese culture in the manga but many actions of the characters feel very Westernized for the cultural issue to be an impediment in understanding the manga, more than anything when the idea of ​​the heroes and everything written by Horikoshi feels a direct reference to US comics, not just a comic but directly movies like the MCU.

For understanding any character or the world of BNHA generally, of course some knowledge of Japanese culture would help shed light on some of the narrative choices and themes. This was written by a Japanese man with an intended audience of Japanese manga readers.

And it's true that Japan overall does tend to have a more laissez faire attitude towards bullying and domestic violence.

However, BNHA also clearly depicted these actions as horrific early on in the manga. Beyond that, BNHA is a manga where that argument is weaker than usual because it is so heavily inspired by American culture and American media specifically.

If an author spells out how horrific bullying, systemic discrimination, and domestic abuse are in his work, it's not too much to ask for the characters who were the victims to get the panel time to demonstrate how they were affected by these actions. The atonement doesn't carry much weight without an understanding of the result of the wrongdoing in the first place.

What a good consequence should look like and how atonement should occur is going to be tied up in cultural norms. But there's no cultural excuse for sidelining the victims because the author feared it would make the atoning characters unpopular. Objectively bad writing decisions are bad writing decisions regardless of culture.

Anyone else thinks it's funny how everyone agrees the ending sucks ass but it's when they didn't get something they want? Like it took certain fans seeing that MHA was ASS was with Tomura's death. But now people don't like MHA's ending because Midoriya didn't want to join Bakugo's agency and Bakugo kind of looked sad about it. Like oh my Loooord. I swear people do not pay attention unless it's something like.

This is often the case for a lot of works. People, (and I'm including myself in this), tend to not realise when something is bad as it happens, only when it ends.

Of course, this isn't the case for everyone. A lot of people noticed how incompetent the storytelling and writing was, but a large portion of the audience didn't have any issues until the ending.

This is both because the final war saga was full of flaws, whereas the flaws previously were more spaced out, AND because the main demographic is young boys. Not just that, but MHA soon became the introductory anime to many.

Because MHA is so closely based upon western tropes and action, being mainly inspired by Marvel and DC, it was the anime to ease new watchers into the anime medium. People who have no idea what other anime are capable of telling watch MHA, and it's great! It's flashy, everyone has superpowers, it's funny, it has dark content, it's not afraid to kill people off...

But, well, when all you've seen is MHA, all you can compare other anime to is MHA.

Young kids who aren't concerned with and don't know how to look out for all those flaws, and people new to the scene who don't know how other anime compare.

Horikoshi spent a long time giving the villains a sympathetic backstory, explaining exactly how they ended up where they are, and he offers no solutions.

There was certainly a level of lip-service paid towards it. But nothing actually put into play.

The HPSC is shown to be corrupt, raising child soldiers and driving Nagant off the deep-end, but nothing is done or even planned to abolish this corruption. Instead, Hawks becomes president over the very company that abused and groomed him.

Quirk Marraiges were made illegal far before canon, but Endeavour proves that they're still an actual thing. What is done to circumvent this? Nothing. Not even an activist group.

Endeavour, in general. He abused his kids, neglected them, abused Rei and drove her insane. Everything is brought to light. But nothing changes. People don't come to the realisation that heroics is a job, not a state of mind. They just forgive Endeavour because 'hE cHaNgEs'.

Mutant discrimination. What is done to help mutants become more accepted? Nothing. Shouji just yells at them that violence isn't the answer, but there's nothing actually put into play to help mutants.

Quirk discrimination in general. People with weak or 'villainous' quirks are treated like shit, (apparently). What is done to help them? ... Oh, yeah, NOTHING!

There were many early signs that MHA was going to bad. I mean, the QAT is even more biassed than the entrance exam, but Aizawa is painted as being a fair teacher. At least the entrance exam placed value on having heroic spirit with rescue points - Aizawa's QAT favoured anyone with a physical quirk.

The second heroics lessons was a simulated battle in an enclosed environment, rather than, oh, you know, learning how to fight. Bakugou nearly kills Izuku, and Aizawa just tells him to grow up.

People ignored the signs, and I did too for while, because of that hope that it would improve over time. Because the world was interesting, and it seemed to be developed.

It was not, but the minor level of lip-service made it seem like it was.

People flipped out when Izuku rejected Bakugou's offer to be his sidekick, as if that would have been a satisfying ending. People flipped out over IzuOcha being confirmed, despite it being heavily implied since the beginning.

People have turned on MHA because it didn't give them the ending they wanted. That's not to say that the ending wasn't bad - it absolutely was. But not for the reasons people brought up.

The world has barely changed from where it started, Izuku isn't even allowed to work his way into heroics, hero rankings are still a thing for some reason, the HPSC hasn't changed, and it just felt like a wasted journey.

And that's what MHA is, in the end. A wasted journey.

It always irked me how differently Horikoshi writes female and male friendships. Tsuyu and Kirishima have the same panel time in Ch 431.

But in the Tsuyu-Ochako conversation, we learn nothing about Tsuyu (other than the little tag that says she's 34th ranked). The conversation is fully about Ochako. Tsu is the "support bot" who is fully invested in the conventionally prettier heroine's love life.

Kirishima on the other hand gets to talk about himself, about his new agency, his side-kick time at Fat Gum's, he gets banter with Bakugou - there is much more give-and-take than in the girls' conversation.

I used to like Tsuyu at the start, but becoming friends with Uraraka basically killed her character.
