Bedroom Eyes Mid War? This Man Is Immaculate.

I like the idea of a canon compelling fanfic where Tomura keeps sacrificing things for the LOV and none of them notices at first how those things are getting bigger and more meaningful with time.

Until they all survive the final war and Deku tells them Tomura is dead— he did all he could do to destroy AFO in Tomura's own body, so the man that ruined his life can't ruin his friends anymore.

The idea of them looking back and seeing all the signs... How obvious it is now that Tomura is gone and be has become the villains' hero. How much it means to them and how bad they want to reject it because they want him alive, but they'd never spit on his biggest show of love.

The irony of All Might thinking that he was the doomed-by-the-narrative hero, but Tomura has always been the sacrificial lamb. The only choice he made is to whom he wanted to be a hero for.

I've been playing a lot of Dead By Daylight lately and as expected I have to make it about mha

For those of you who don't know, Bakugou is supposed to be saving his teammate Deku but is instead trolling him.

Shigaraki joins in.

I watched Boku No Hero Academia today and now I can’t wait for new episodes!

TOMURA!!

Shigaraki is barely conscious, barely breathing, as you come close. Spinner was unsure of what to expect from you, but your first act strikes him as completely incongruous — you lift the crown of white roses from your head and settle it on Shigaraki’s. Shigaraki doesn’t stir, and on the other side of the coffin, the priest’s shoulders stiffen. “That proves nothing.”

“White roses are anathema to vampires. They teach you that in your book of demons,” you say. You unclasp one bracelet from around your wrist, slide one ring from your finger. “They speak of silver, too.”

This gorgeous art piece is a commission drawn by @oxygen537art (check out their Twitter!) and based on a scene from my fic Pariah! If you like Shigaraki, vampire fics, or just had a real time of it watching Nosferatu, please check it out here!

The park flashback/scene where Tenko plays with Mikkun and Tomo-chan in Chapter 418 first takes place in early afternoon, as evidenced by the clock reading almost 2:00 PM.

The art in the scene confirms this: clear bright skies, and the shadows under the children are short.

However, the time in the scene changes after Mikkun and Tomo-chan tells Tenko he should be All Might (the moment Tenko decides he wants to be a Hero, as he tells his mom in Chapter 235). Suddenly it's evening: the clock shows 6:13 PM, and the sky darkening because it's nearing sunset.

When Shigaraki/Tenko thinks of the League, he and the League (and Deku) all have long shadows, the kind you see when the sun is low in the sky.

The context:

Sunset is the time to go home. Children who have been playing outside, in playgrounds, at the park, are supposed to go home, to get back in time for dinner, back to their families.

In Japan, many cities and towns have a bell/chime/song that plays from public loudspeakers at around 5:00 PM. It's a daily test of an emergency broadcast system, but it has also come to be seen as the evening bell, a 'go home' signal, especially for children, telling them to go home before it gets dark.

In manga and anime, all these elements have become common imagery and symbolism, associated with each other: red-orangey colors, sunset, long shadows, the chime, children saying goodbye to their playmates for the day, the idea of home and return.

Putting it all together:

When the park scene first shows up, it's Tenko memory of playing with Mikkun and Tomo-chan, likely exactly how it had occurred in real life: it's early afternoon, the sun is shining bright, their shadows are short, they're at the park, they're playing Heroes, and when the kids tell Tenko that he should be All Might, Tenko is overjoyed.

But this isn't the scene 15-16 years ago; this is a memory. Tenko is also Shigaraki here. He has just had his core pried open by Deku, and given relief. The Crying Child has been symbolically saved, but the past, the massacre, the Walk still all happened.

So it's suddenly 6:13 PM, it's sunset now, because it's way past proper time (5:00 PM) to go home - because Shigaraki/Tenko can't go home to the Shimura house. It's too late. It's been long over.

Shigaraki/Tenko then looks away from Mikkun and Tomo-chan, to the side, and say, 'Nah' to their suggestion, because besides it being late, he also no longer wants to be All Might. He's deciding he's a Villain, he still holds malice and he still destroys.

So, the scene changes again to contains the League now, all six of them (plus Deku). They exist in this sunset time, hence their long shadows. They exist with current Shigaraki/Tenko, they exist in the now - and arguably, they would be the home he would return to at sunset.

-

Up to interpretation, of course, but the sunset/going home context is real.

Japanese tweets about it (translated):

[When Tenko got the words he wanted, his eyes lit up, but it was past time to go home so I'm guessing that means "it's too late."]

[It is just heartening that the League members are the place where Tomura would return to when it was "time to go home." I'm sobbing]

[In the scene where Tenko is at the park, the clock is already past 6:00 PM, the time when good kids go home, so if he had met Deku a little earlier, Deku might have been able to stop him, but this seems to show that they're past that stage now, which is good.]

stupid bnha meme i made while rewatching season 6

Imagine if AFO visited the facility where all the children were being kept. Where Touya was in his coma.

Imagine he took Tomura with him.

Tomura would talk to the strange, sleeping boy in the hospital bed. Talking about his past. Talking about things he could never talk about with AFO.

“I wanted to be a hero.”

Touya wakes up, remembering everything the voice said— but not knowing who the voice talking to him was.

The years pass and Tomura and Dabi meet. Slowly over the time they spend together in the League of Villains, they realize who the other is.

Dabi approaches Tomura.

“I wanted to be a hero too.”

tomura :D

I will never get over his cheeks in this scene

I wanna bite em
