Todoroki Mafia AU
My zine piece for bnha mafia AU zine
POV: you are Endeavor
MHA does a really good job at realistically showing how people who work in response fields might manifest PTSD. It shows a variety of ways this can occur and hits on a lot of the less palatable symptoms or more nuanced symptoms that aren’t really shown in media often.
Enji:
Ok, I know he’s a controversial character but I’m starting with Enji/Endeavor bc I love this character and his arc. His character is shown having some of the less palatable symptoms of PTSD and it really reminded me of my experiences with it. I think it’s really cool to see that representation.
Intense Anger
Functions perfectly at work, but cannot function outside of work (if my brain cannot find the threat, it will make one- I.e. hypervigilance)
Lashing out at loved ones
Feelings of guilt and shame over the anger
Intense mistrust of others
Reliving negative experiences and ruminating on them constantly
Inability to rely on others
Inability to verbalize or identify negative feelings
Fear that you are a burden on loved ones
Fear that your loved ones will get hurt or die
Fear that loved ones will betray you or are lying to you
Obsession with having control over negative outcomes
Unreasonable standards/expectations for self and others
Fear that you cannot save everyone/are not good enough
Self-isolation
Deliberately sabotaging your relationships
The ‘death of self’
All Might:
Overwork
Lack of a personal life
Inability to rest
Working through injury
Inability to rely on others
Keeping experiences and feelings a secret because you believe them to be too burdensome to share
Unsupported belief that you will die young
Flippant about own safety and mortality
Deku:
Working through injury
Putting self in dangerous situations
Obsessiveness about work and replaying situations over and over
Flippancy about own safety and mortality
Inability to rest
Self-isolation
Keeping experiences and feelings a secret because you believe them to be too burdensome to share
Existential horror/dread about the state of humanity
Apathy
Losing parts of your personality/losing joy/losing idealism
Nightmares
Hawks:
I also really love this character and how Horikoshi explores him. I relate to a lot of his symptoms as well even though they are much more subtle.
Using sarcasm and dark humor to eschew real negative feelings
Refusing to process negative emotions or intellectualizing your trauma
Loss of affect
Belief that your sole value is in your usefulness to others/belief that you have no inherent value
Overwork
Fear that you cannot save everyone/are not good enough
Moral injury
Unrealistic expectations of self
Flippant about your own safety/mortality
Unfounded belief that you are secretly a bad person
Splitting: i.e. views on good and bad becoming overly simplistic
Anger and resentment about systemic failures/leadership failures
Feeling that your were not adequately trained or equipped to do your job
Mistrust of others
Trauma bonding to coworkers
Belief that other people cannot understand your experiences
Emotional distancing
Wanting to escape your present reality/focus on a ‘future’ where things are different and inability to be in the present moment.
Dissociative traits- I.e. disconnecting from the self to complete difficult tasks & acting out ‘performative’ emotions for the benefit of others

In the online fandom system, domestic abuse offenses are considered especially heinous. In the My Hero Academia fandom, the dedicated fans who create the discourse around these fictitious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the So (you think these) Victims (are the most special characters) Unit, or SVU.
These aren’t their stories.

Endeavor: Hey do you have the thing? Rei: The thing? Endeavor: Yeah do you have it Rei, turning around, holding baby Touya: What are you talking about? Endeavor: Oh you do have it Rei: Rei: You mean our BABY?!
the road to hell is not covered with good intentions but even hell needs light
In pinterest I found a photo with kids sailor dresses and thought about Todoroki children.
this is actually like redraw of my old fanart from 2021, when I had just started watching the anime (haven't read the manga) when I drew them. So I didn't know their age gap, that touya in this age allready had white hair and of course didn't know about their height difference
Touya: Father, why have you forbade me from entering the delicious chamber?
Enji: It's called an oven, and you will die.
Touya, crying: I am strong, father.
