On Neglect, Love, and Todoroki Fuyumi
Let the records state that there is nobody in the BNHA manga who I love more than Fuyumi. This essay is for her, just as much as it is for me, because there’s a lot to be said with her - a lot to understand, a lot to interpret, and a lot to still learn.
Please be aware of the warnings in the tags and as follows: I will be touching on child abuse and neglect, and how growing up in these situations hurts. I will be using my own experience as a baseline to relate. I don’t go into detail a lot of detail, but these are still topics that came up. Arm yourself if you wish to continue.
And here we go.

me @ Izuku: this my son me @ Ochaco: this my daughter me @ Iida: this my guy who explained the pros and cons of bundling my insurance and got me a really good deal
Do you block people in the same fandom as you just because you don't like their takes?
Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy
Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE
Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted
Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative
Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying
spent slightly too much time thinking about katsuki again help man I am having feelings
I don’t know exactly why I drew this.
just the purest heros being friends :^3
Just How "Weak” is Dabi? (Or: Lots of Thoughts on Marginalization in My Hero Academia)
I got an interesting ask about the way that Dabi relates to his limitations and how the manga repeatedly calls attention to the fact that he is weak, and I think this whole issue is fascinating, so I’m going to try to break down some thoughts on it. If Horikoshi carries through on even half the promise these tendrils of plot could hold, it would be a very refreshing take on villains, which types of characters are allowed to qualify as “threatening,” and what it really means to be a marginalized person in a “super” society.

izuku places his entire sense of identity and self-worth on being a hero, and having the quirk that allows him to be one. those two things, heroism and having this quirk, are inextricably linked to him - when he was quirkless, he couldn’t be a hero, and he got the quirk so he could be.
izuku also clearly identifies heroism as saving people. when he fails to save people - ie fails at being a hero - he feels worthless. if he doesn’t save, he’s not a hero, and thus is nothing.
now apply this reasoning to when he offers mirio his quirk after the overhaul arc. again, without a quirk, he can’t be a hero. why is he wanting to give away the very thing that he thinks makes him valuable to other people?
because he failed to save someone, so he’s already not a hero. he thinks he doesn’t deserve his quirk, the thing that gives him that worth and identity, because he doesn’t deserve to have any worth or identity. he’s already squandered it. he deserves to be nothing again.

Manga Kirishima save me.... save me manga Kirishima....
On the topic of asking you how to draw things we’re struggling with… how do you handle arms? Specifically arms and their proper connections to the body.
I’ve gotten into this habit of drawing only headshots (shoulders included) and when i try to extend it into an actual full body, I can never do the arms.
Everything else is fine, but the arms are just… no. They stayed pinned to the sides, or conveniently nonexistent, as I don’t know how to draw them proportioned properly otherwise.
I will try to explain but you can definitely find better advice elsewhere
I think first, having a solid understanding of what's going on underneath is important, here's some of the bones/muscles that are the most relevant. Knowing what the understructure looks like and how it all connects will help you figure out the surface stuff
When you move your arm, all those muscles and bones move too, when the arm goes up, it affects your clavicle, your scapula, your pecs, etc. So you're not just moving an arm, you have to think about how the shoulder/neck/chest will go along with it
same kind of deal with the back view
proportion-wise uhhh arms go down to about mid thigh and a persons wingspan is around the same width as their height head to toe
denki teehee
Chisaki also wears pants that show his ankles. Horikoshi, why?
so few people understand the art of the pseudo nap

Kirishima is Izuku’s personal cheerleader and no one can convince me otherwise.

mha is great and all but...
If we’re being honest the most unrealistic thing about MHA is that…you mean to tell me…none of these kids dick around with their quirks??? Legit some of these kids have the most wild and borderline outlandish powers and you fr expect me to believe they all handle them in a responsible manner?? LMAO OKAY >You mean to tell me Sero hasn’t used his tape to tape himself or others to the wall/ceiling??
> Jirou doesn’t take her ear thingys and hijack the aux cord to play Cupcakke or Take On Me at full blast???
>denki doesn’t go around (mildly) shocking his friends??? Come on…we know he can be used as a charger give us this…
> Urarararararaka doesn’t randomly make people/their possesions float to see how long it takes them to notice?
> Kirishima and tetsutesu don’t go around headbutting every hard surface they see because someone dared them to?
> kendo doesn’t walk around with her hands enlarged to see how long it takes someone to say something??
> Shinsou doesn’t make people do the Macarena or smth when they slightly piss him off just because he thinks it’s funny???
>Ojiro doesn’t go around hanging from random trees and poles with his tail?
Even the more serious characters like Bakugou, Iida, Tokoyami, Todoroki, and Tsu would fuck around with their quirks they’re tEeNaGeRs > tsu wouldn’t cling to the wall and startle people at the doors? She wouldn’t use her tongue to grab objects she could reach if she just moved a little more???
> Tokoyami wouldn’t use dark shadow to sneak into the dorm kitchen and get him a snack bc he got the munchies at 4am??? Rly??
> Todoroki is a thermometer for fucks sake you seriously mean to tell me he hasn’t set the dorm on fire at least once because he wanted to heat up his hot pocket without using the microwave??? He hasn’t tried to ice skate to class??
> You mean to tell me Iida doesn’t Naruto run to class sometimes…he isn’t the one that gives Midoriya super sonic piggyback rides bc Midoriya already told someone “he had a ride”????
> Bakugou doesn’t go around lighting up ant hills or using his quirk like a firework bc the bakusquad wanted to cause some Teenage Chaos at 1am??
But the most unrealistic thing of all…is that Izuku Midoriya…the boy who was once qUIRKLESS DOESN’T FUCK AROUND WITH HIS POWERS THE MOST > You mean to tell me he doesn’t wall jump in order to sit in really high places he’s not supposed to just bc he can?? He doesn’t do that thing where you use your legs and back to support yourself between two walls except it’s between two buildings?? He doesn’t try to stand on top of light posts like the weeb headass he is? He doesn’t do Extreme Parkour?? He doesn’t try to support things with his legs that he really doesn’t need to (balancing desks, the chair of the kid in front of him (with said kid in chair), boxes, etc.)?? He doesn’t Naruto run to class (with iida)??? He doesn’t take every dare that’s given to him because he’s That Bitch??
Un-fucking-likely Horikoshi
