Hero's Spirit: A Vision of Nightshade
All For One did not reach the age of over 200 by not listening to his medical professionals.
He was still looking for a faster way to regain his full vision, but until then the Doctor had recommended him using a cyberpathy quirk to look through security cameras and such, so he wouldn't be out of practice with light levels, colors, and shape recognition.
He didn't enjoy it, because he disliked having his consciousness out of his body (at least unless it was going to be a permanent transfer). But he recognized the value of the Doctor's orders and did a few short bursts a day.
During one of these he noticed Tomura's little rival, Midoriya. (He would allow it until All Might finally chose a successor, then he'd encourage Tomura to switch over.) Midoriya was talking to a young woman on the sidewalk he seemed to know, who was speaking to him fondly. Maybe she had been his baby sitter when younger, or a neighbor? He focused the camera in on her.
She was beautiful, with long dark hair and purple eyes and lips that made a stark contract over pale skin. All For One felt his pulse quicken through his weak connection to his body as his heart pounded in his chest. His mouth when dry and his palms began to sweat. What was this feeling? It had been so long since he felt it? Ah, right. Abject Terror.
He slammed back in to his body and immediately opened the communication like to the League of Villain's current hideout.
"Shigeraki Tomura you will immediately cease any activity targeting Midoriya and any focusing one UA class 1A that might involve him." Tomura, predictably, did not like this announcement. "No! You said I could destroy the things I hate! And I HATE him."
"Tomura if you continue this vendetta we will both die."
"This is stupid! I'm not afraid of All Might-" "Nor am I. He is a pathetic worm that will one day die at your hand. But Midoriya is under the protection of Nightshade." Fear shone in speaking her name.
"Never heard of a hero by that name." Tomura began scratching at his neck.
"Not a hero, no." Kurogiri tilted his head in thought. "Was Nightshade not the name of the first villain?"
"It was. It is. I knew her well, as we had been allies for a time. She didn't seek power, but wielded it effortlessly. Personal power, power over others. She had amassed an army of those with powerful quirks even at the dawn of them and laid waste to the United States. She had been fond of the first hero, you see, though he was never credited as such. And the American Government not only killed him, they covered up all he had done, to ensure he was forgotten and their mistake never came to light. She crippled the country which at the time boasted the strongest military force in the world." "But she was stopped. I mean, America's still a country."
All For One shook his head. "No. She stopped when anyone even tangentially involved in the decision and those who defended them were dead. No quirk affected her, and he quirk could not be stolen. She is an untouchable wildcard who will slaughter thousands to make her point. She has chosen Midoriya as hers. Do Not Touch Midoriya Again!"

So here's another example of how low Izuku's self worth is. While Izuku has had setbacks (mostly injuries to himself), this fight against Shouto is Izuku's first real loss since All Might became his mentor. And Izuku immediately thinks All Might wants to replace him.
All Might using Shouto as a reference point for how One for All would work for someone with another quirk only solidifies to Izuku that he might want Shouto as a replacement. He has the backstory and the power of a main character after all. (It's obviously unintentional on All Might's part. That man couldn't read the room to save his life.)

"Shut up and watch me."
Tomura Shigaraki x Reader
It’s cold, hot, and painful at the same time. Every single cell in his body, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, are being changed. Electricity. Chemicals. Aches from augmentation shake him to his very core. Without a doubt, this is the hardest time of Shigaraki’s life. Most people would have broken by now, but not him. He’s got something stronger holding him in place. However, it’s not the bitterness nor is it the hatred that keeps him clinging to life and sanity in the empty darkness of Garaki’s lab.
Instead, it’s the memory of his first night in the newly unified PLF. He was tired and weak after his extended bout with Gigantomachia, not to mention the face off with all of the Meta Liberation Front. When he collapsed into your arms, the first thing he thought was that your warmth felt nice. The first time he was able to wrap his arms around you without fear, without anything. His arms were trembling, his leg was broken, he was covered in blood…but he felt no fear or hesitation.
Outside of the minimal medical care he accepted from Re-Destro, he didn’t allow any of his sent attendants to tend to him. You were all he wanted and needed. Shigaraki remembers the full relaxation of the warm water of the tub as you gently washed his newly snow white hair, how you carefully tipped his head back so none of the water would get in his eyes. The way the blood, sweat, and dirt flowed down the drain along with his tension. Every so often he would catch your hand with his and trace along your knuckles and palm wordlessly, ignoring your chiding about not getting the bandages on his fingers wet. Shigaraki couldn’t remember a time where he felt so safe as he did when you towel-dried his hair and helped him into fresh pajamas. When he finally settled down, he pulled you into the bed with him. It must have surprised you how much strength such a skinny, fatigued young man still had in him– the look on your face was priceless. He wrapped his arms around you and pressed his face into your neck, and just…breathed. You smelled of the same soap, so why did it smell so much better on you, he wondered. Limbs tangled together underneath brand-new linens on a large bed, the sound of your breathing and his lifting up and down. Despite his fatigue, it took him longer to fall asleep than you did.
This is where he returns during the times when either the pain gets to be too much, or perhaps when Garaki decides it’s time to let him rest. He just wanted to watch you a little bit longer, to stroke your face and ears with his hands and see you wrinkle your nose in your sleep from the disturbances. He couldn’t remember when he fell asleep, just that he was awoken by bright sunlight kissing his face and the weight of your figure against his. No more hesitation, no more holding back--
“Tomura Shigaraki…” A familiar, cloyingly sweet voice interferes with his memory. The voice of his teacher, his mentor, and the only father figure he’s ever known: All For One. “What are you doing?”
He’s never liked being interrupted, and even his teacher is no exception to this fact. Shigaraki narrows his eyes and attempts to silence the voice in his head, wanting to nestle into the memory of you once again. However, this voice has other plans.
“I asked you a question. What are you doing, Tomura Shigaraki?” There’s an air of paternal dissatisfaction in his tone.
“I’m busy, Sensei.” He snips back in his head. He’s not sure whether this phantom is of his memories, a side-effect of all the experimentation being done on him, or if this is his teacher’s true voice, but it doesn’t matter. He’s in the way.
“Have you forgotten your true purpose, Tomura?” All For One questions, and Shigaraki knows intuitively that he’s referring to you. “Are you giving up on all that we have worked for?”
“I haven’t given up on anything.” His arms, even in this mix of a dream and memory, tighten around you. He hasn’t given up on a single thing. As a matter of a fact, he feels as though he’s gained more things than he’d previously thought.
“Such attachments do not suit you, my boy.” All For One chides him in the same way he used to when he was a child: speaking to him in a soft voice with just the hint of a smile in it, laughing at his supposed ignorance. “If it is companionship you wish for, you’ll have more than you ever dream, all at your beck and call. Do you truly need this one?”
He can almost feel his teacher’s grip on his shoulder, as if to pull him away from you. “You don’t need this. This emotion is fleeting, worthless in the grand scheme of things.” The other hand moves towards his, positioning his other hand over your sleeping face. “Get rid of it.” Get rid of them.
“You’re wrong, Sensei.”
Shigaraki grabs the ghost of a hand, a little surprised he’s able to, but keeps a firm, threatening grip. Instead of disintegrating you, even the memory of you, he turns his attention back on All For One. “This is one thing I won’t let anyone touch…not even you.” The ghost hand disintegrates with his touch, dissolving into nothing. Shigaraki gives a long, hard stare out of the corner of his red eyes as his teacher’s disembodied voice echoes behind him…still present, but much farther away.
“This isn’t over.” All For One’s voice is the same as ever, lilting and coy. “You’ll see that I’m correct soon enough.” His last whisper finally fades into nothing.
Shigaraki settles back into his memories, his warm place of comfort and belonging.
You’re wrong, Sensei. He thinks, and commits to memory a phrase he will say again and again. I do not want to be you, I want to be greater than you. I’ll have everything I want… Shigaraki strokes the back of your cheek with his hand. He’ll prove that he can: he can have you, his comrades, and the society he’s dreamed of. Tomura Shigaraki will destroy what he wants to destroy, anything that stands in his way…
Even you, Sensei…
Tomura Shigaraki closes his eyes, even in his current state, and slowly falls into unconsciousness.
So shut up and watch me.

That smile that Bruce has in his final moments really make me think he already passed OFA and already knew his successor was going to strengthen the quirk rather than fight straight away. So he knew the quirk would be safe and they had some advantage over afo
Tumblr media
Yeah, he did pass it on before fighting AFO; every OFA wielder managed to pass it on before their death by AFO's hand. Only Banjo and En (excluding All Might and Midoriya) still held it when they fought AFO, so Bruce would've been like the others: fighting with the Ability/Quirk already passed on.
For reference, the excerpt from that volume extra with Banjo's face on it;
"All the predecessors besides the Fourth were indeed killed by All For One, but each one managed to pass on the Quirk before their death."
All For One killed them. But they passed on the Quirk before they faced him.
But also, Shinomori went into hiding to avoid society, I don't think he'd actually join the fight of the Resistance when they're fighting AFO's side—he's at the top of their chaotic land. It's a fight with the one who governs current society. The "demon lord". Most of the Resistance died with Kudo, so Bruce fighting AFO was either with whoever was left, or he was completely alone, and those are old corpses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At Bruce's fight and eventual death with AFO, I think he might've gone back to where Kudo and the rest died. Whether he did or not, he took the last members with the Resistance for a last stand, if any remained. They probably did have some left; Kudo shouldn't have left Bruce to fight him and continue OFA, with no one on his side. Cruel, and a small platform for Bruce to stand on. The platform of the vestiges was already small compared to AFO when doing a symbolism of the power difference. Imagine Bruce on his own.
(This was when Nana and Yoichi pushed AFO+AFO/Tomura out of the vestige world)
Tumblr media
Plus, since the Resistance started out of "our Leader [having] misgivings about the future", Kudo wouldn't have brought everyone to fight AFO. If he did, the Resistance ends right there; there has to be a chance their will and cause continues into the future, neverminding Bruce and OFA. I don't mean Yoichi's will here—I mean the Resistance's. Don't bring everyone to the death march.
But look at how we only see two others when Bruce died, and even after Bruce is clearly dead, AFO still tries getting an answer from him. He wouldn't have left any survivors in this fight, let alone Kudo's.
Since Shinomori got OFA when he was 22, I think he and Bruce had been something of colleagues before, especially since Bruce knew where to find him in the forests. Since Shinomori had run into the hermit life to escape society and its weirdos, citing it as a "horrible era"
Bruce could just trust him with it and ran back to the city. He knew where to find him, they're close in age, one decided to fight to restore society while the other ran from it for what it became...
He didn't choose a member of the Resistance. But Bruce made a smart choice for who the next successor would be. He chose fast (enough that AFO was still mad about Kudo and Yoichi to bother interrogating a corpse), and chose the guy who:
● lives off the radar
● has a will against AFO/society, driven enough that he went off to hide
● has an Ability that senses danger, so he can always escape or be warned in time
● can evade AFO and his influence repeatedly
● is cautious, if not careful
● isn't tempermental to go get himself killed, with enough fear to know to step back
● would be unknown and non-existent to AFO, because he avoids society, where the big evil lurks
Shinomori knew the instant he received the Quirk that he wasn't strong enough. Bruce would have to have been present to at least pass it on, so Bruce probably knew Shinomori's decision too, to build up the will.
Tumblr media
Until En with his hair, each transfer was probably blood, since that was the OG method between Yoichi and Kudo that worked for sure.
When Bruce passed it to Shinomori, he chose a guy who didn't have an offensive Ability like him or Kudo (who managed to use his offensively when it was just small objects at his time). He chose a guy who could keep the wielder and Quirk safe, and would pass it on once he was done with his turn. I don't know if they knew Quirks stockpiled in OFA, but if they did, Bruce made a smart choice. If they knew or not, Bruce still chose well to ensure the will continued into the future, away from AFO's reach.
So yeah. Bruce passed One For All before fighting All For One, and likely knew Shinomori's intention. The reason he smiled could've been because he knew AFO would take another loss today, but the only details we got of his death are few. He smiled, fought, and died impaled, with dead comrades around, and AFO trying to get an answer out of him for Yoichi's whereabouts.
I'm still curious on why Bruce smiled because there are reasons we could put together, and reasons we don't know. Was it because he got one over AFO? Did he enjoy the fight? Because he was facing death in the face and couldn't help but smile? Because somewhere, One for All was growing to screw AFO over in the future? We don't know much of the fight's details itself beyond [AFO participated] and [Bruce was killed].
(Remembering how Bruce's Ability works just puts his fight against AFO as even more desperate or dire, really. He temporarily charges energy, but can only release it per limb once [ex. Midoriya still having a leg of Fa Jin]. So like when Midoriya used his individual fingers, Bruce only gets one shot for each body part he can think of. His strength with OFA isn't as much as it could be either, because he isn't the wielder anymore. All he has are the leftover fumes.)

Mha fic ideas #25
‘Perfectly Imperfect’
The universe made a mistake when it created Midoriya Izuku.
Not for the whole quirkless thing, though that had it’s own issues, but because of his face. It was too cute. Too innocent. Too trustworthy…
No matter what he did or what he said, nobody could see him as anything but pure and good. If he cursed it was like the adults hadn’t heard him or they'd think it was another child, like Kacchan. If he stole something, they never asked him to return it. If he pushed a kid into the river, everyone assumed they'd fallen.
And if he threatened to divulge the number 1 hero’s biggest secret to the media?
He got a gentle pat on the head and a fond chuckle.
At first, he thought it must be his quirk. A quirk that involuntarily waived all of his bad deeds to anyone who may witness them. A quick trip to the specialist and he was permanently labeled with the status of ‘quirkless’ and no other way of explaining why he was like this.
He, simply, could do no wrong; and that irritated the hell out of him. He’s lost track of how many villain bases he’s walked into with the intention of being recruited only to end up being gushed and ‘aw’d at until he left.
The only good thing that had come of this ability was Allmights immediate trust. After a few months of training, the man offered him his quirk:
One for All.
Izuku was ecstatic. He could finally test how far his innocent face could take him when he had the ability to level towns and ruin lives with one well placed punch.
Only… He passed out as soon as he’d swallowed the hair and woke up in a strange place with three crumbling walls, surrounded by darkness, and eight (seven and a half?) people standing in front of him.
They didn't look at him like he was perfect.
They looked angry.
And Izuku couldn’t be happier.

Delinquent Vigilante!Izumi x OFA Successor!Tooru in "A Suggestion"
Listening to Tooru's talking about the vestiges and her lack of sleep, Izumi decided to have some fun with the ghosts of the past.
She was a delicate flower of femininity, and would never have any concept of revenge. However, she did have the dossier on every single one of them, and that meant that she could figure out how they thought, what buttons to press, and she was only invested in Tooru's success, not their comfort.
The chaos compels.
If you want to write one of these, please just link me

I just made myself cry expanding on a (fairly bad) fic idea I had last year.
Why would All Might do that fr

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While his motivations are understandable (he thinks he's going to die soon), this whole conversation was a terrible decision on All Might's part.
This is an immense amount of pressure to put on a kid without really giving him concrete guidance on how to get there. All Might knew he couldn't use OFA without breaking his bones at this point, and yet he still pushed Izuku to make a flashy showing at the sports festival. Add Izuku's obvious devotion to All Might and his lack of consideration for his own safety, and this was a disaster in the making from the beginning.
It's uncomfortable rereading this as the entire conversation is about what All Might needs and what he believes the world needs. Izuku's opinion and wellbeing are tertiary issues.
It becomes an issue later that Izuku's growth is limited by his admiration for All Might. Later on, All Might realizes this was wrong and tries to tell Izuku to do things in his own way. But because of that people forget that for at least a year into their mentorship (ten months training into the weeks until the Sports' Festival), he was telling Izuku that it was imperative that he become the "Next All Might".

You know what i don’t think I've ever seen acknowledged in regards to Allmight having a hero agency and a successor at once in any bnha fics? Might Tower. So I’mma do that now.
You KNOW after having Izuku as his successor for the first few days he began plans to have a room prepared for young Midoriya. He doesn’t want to make assumptions or anything, but the boy seems to admire him, right? It’s not too forward, its just polite, in case Izuku ever passes out during training and he needs a bed! After all, he can’t just show up with an unconscious young Midoriya to Inko’s apartment door, of course. Of course, like he doesn't just want to provide a safe space for his boy. somewhere he can go to if he can’t go anywhere else. Perfectly normal, after all, to want to protect his successor, the next inheritor of One for All.
And maybe he only realizes when its finished that, oh, how does he tell this boy he’s known for maybe a few months at most that he… made him a room. A room designed after and filled with things All-might thought he’d like....So he just… puts off telling Midoriya about it.
And then months go by. Woops.
It occurs to Midoriya one day that despite being All might’s successor, hes never really seen Might Tower. No, hes seen the tower, he’s even been on the public tour a few times when he was younger! But hes never been there as a hero student, and especially not since having MET allmight, since he became such a crucial feature of Midoriya’s life.
“Its only for if you need it” like Yagi wouldn't be thrilled if Izuku took to the space like a cat to a cardboard box.

hi! i saw you make bnha critical posts and i hope this doesnt sound rude and you arent obligated to answer this but whats your opinion on the big 3?? when i was super fixated on bnha they were my faves lmao and iwanna hear more opinions about them, still mad about how they did nejire sooo dirty
Ah these characters... I remember seeing them so much on my tiktok that it only serves to make the canon versions of them more pathetic. So let's go over each of them shall we?
Amajiki: Let's start with the shy boi first. Honestly, he's a big fat mood for us introverts... but that doesn't mean I can't talk about THAT scene!
I don't really have a lot to say about him compared to the other two since I think his character is fine enough, but what I WILL say is that he's done so dirty when it came to Bakugou blowing him up.
Yeah. That fucking happens.
That is something Hori wrote and drew because he probably thought it would be funny.
Amajiki was rightfully scared to death of him and tried to get away, but Bakugou caught him and literally blows him up because he refused to fight him.
And again, this is all played for laughs and no one gets on to Bakugou for going overboard... not even Kirishima who should've been angry at him for hurting someone he's been getting close to!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow! Glad to see people have their priorities straight here! And other than the occasional comment that gets what's wrong here, This once again shows how desensitized the fandom has become to Bakugou's behavior to where they think this is funny and nothing to be concerned about.
Because if Bakugou was THIS harsh during practice, imagine how it would go against an actual villain wanting to surrender.
Nejire: Oh Nejire, my sweet girl... Out of the trio here, Hori has done you the dirtiest.
Much like his other female characters in his story, you're only made to be fanservice and to just stand around and look pretty for boys to fawn over. To where your only shining moment was in a fucking beauty pageant, and not to mention Hori not even giving you a hero name while the other two get them.
You deserve so much better and to be just as well written as them.
Mirio: Honestly I don't have a lot of strong feelings for him since he's pretty simple.
He's meant to be who All Might could've chosen as a successor, but shows he doesn't need OFA to be a better hero as he strives to do it on his own.
But what gets me about him the most is that he never found out about Nighteye trying to groom him into being All Might 2.0 and his plan to get Izuku to give up OFA... and is now left to think of him fondly.
These three deserve so much more than what canon has given them, and with how much Hori screwed them over... it's better to just read fanfiction that expands on their characters.
