So before I start I did put some though into the choices, so some of them are tied to personality, design, or simply because I think they'd like them.
I did put some self inflicted rules in.
Firstly all of they are unevolved, bar one who we'll get into.
And Secondly I have capped the number that the students can have to Three (I did do Aizawa and All Might with Four and Six Respectively, but adults and all that)
So going down the list in Dorm Order (Only List I had access to for the order)
Starting with.
Mineta
Bonsly- Mainly down to the design looking a hell of a lot like him, the short round body with the spheres on the head and a slight penchant for crying makes the little guy a pretty good pick.
Midoriya
Eevee- Seems really self explanatory little adaptable ball of floof with a big smile on it's face perfect for Izuku, and a popular pick.
Magikarp- Shiny and a gift from All Might, again a popular pick as it really is just his mindset as a Pokémon, based on the interpretation from Aresia Mark.
Deino- Seems like a bit of a weird pick but trust me it works, Deino's whole thing is constantly hurting itself trying to find it's way, sound like someone? Plus upon evolving which takes some time, it become quite potent with the multiple heads perhaps being reference to the Visages, and the fight back against Darkness? But hazy on that last one.
Aoyama
Furfou- The immediate logical pick don't think I need to explain why the fabulous French boy would have the Kalosian epitome of style, in this case he has his styled in the Light Blue Star style.
Snivy- Now this one has some ideas to it, firstly Snivy's design is meant to represent royalty specifically pulling from French, so they fit Yuga to a T, and it being a Snake would allude to his later betrayal, being a Snake.
Tokoyami
Riolu- Right out the gate we have the Protagonist Pokémon, in terms of design and lore the idea of Aura could prove an interesting contrast with Dark Shadow, plus the aloof and powerful nature of Lucario later down the line works perfectly with Fumi.
Taillow- Yep couldn't not get a bird reference here, and Taillow feels a better pick than Murcrow or Rookidee, bringing in the Samurai idea that Tokoyami has going on, plus having a flying Pokémon would help him keep up with Hawks (Who would totally have a Talonflame)
Applin- Yep this is really just in reference to his love of apples, but it could also be reference to the massive almost dragon like power held by Dark Shadow, I'd imagen that it would become a Hydrapple.
Koda
Pidove- Makes sense he uses Pigeons a lot in his tactics so this guy seemed perfect for this situation.
Rogenrola- Rocky aesthetic with the speaker look, seems super self explanatory.
Tandemaus- Again good vibes, should have gone with a Rabbit but felt that little mice would work nicely with Koda.
Jiro
Noibat- Of course we had to have the little bat on the team, as it feels better than Wismur, granted not a bad Pokémon by any means, (I used it for my playthrough of Emerald) but Noibat has the aesthetic down pat, and Noivern would be a killer ace, and it seems to be a rather popular pick for her as well.
Fenniken- Seems a bit of an odd choice but honestly I could see them playing a role similar to Serena's from XY, giving her the confidence to preform, also just a warm little guy, could be interchangeable with Scorbunny, but the Badass Magician vibe would work well with her.
Kaminari
Yamper- Yes Pikachu is a popular pick given his whole nickname, but honestly I was inspired by @birdbrainzx's choice of Yamper and Electrike, and Yamper is a better personality fit for Denki in any case.
Electrike- I feel that he would like the personality and strengths of this wolf like Pokémon, plus he could learn from it's ability to use electrical pulses to boost it's speed, having just read the Magnetic Attraction Fic the idea of Galvanic Style is still fresh in my mind so that would be pretty cool to incorporate.
Ida
Piplup- Come on, you know the little Penguin fella would try to imitate the class rep, flapping it's little flippers and trying to order the others about, plus let him have a emotional support little guy.
Varrom- You know I had to give him the engine Pokémon, that much was obvious, maybe a gift from his Brother? Honestly either could be and it would work out fine, as I like picking some with possible story telling devices.
Ojiro
Tyroge- I wanted to give him something big but I felt that a Tyroge was a good, smaller but well rounded Pokémon to give him, if I had to guess it would probably become a Hitmonlee.
Aipom- Yep, I had to, it's just right okay, he's like the one Aipom from Dogs in Love who does pull ups with his trainer, so it just felt right.
Hagekure
Helioptile- Yep Flashing lights, he also a little Lizard guy, what's not to love.
Carbink- Their a reflective diamond pretty little dude, yeah Toru's team is rather basic I think their Pokémon she likes rather than any big thematic reasons I say then picking.
Ducklett- Way out of left field with this one but it is really meant to be a sort of meta joke that being invisible she's rather well unassuming then you get the reveal that she is extraordinarily pretty, hence Swanna, also a mon that doesn't get much use so I included it here for some variety.
Shoji
Doduo- Now it was actually really hard to pick Pokémon for Shoji at first but his Pokémon are simple, like Doduo, one of his early friends back from when he lived in his Village, plus the two headed design works well with him
Shuckle- Again a simple Pokémon but one that works well with Shoji's aesthetic, a bigger Pokémon that likes helping the others, making sure they don't hurt each other too much.
Urakaka
Clafairy- Not Cleffa, now this either down to the amount of affection shown to the Pokémon when it was young so it's the most developed mon in the class, plus the space vibes and colours fit perfectly.
Meowth- This one is the Galarian, showcasing her tougher personality, still has Pay Day, but the tougher body and access to a good variety of moves and Purrserkers rage can be similar to the focus that she uses when fighting.
Kirishima
Rockruff- Of course he would have one, like Kukui, he would let his attack him, plus Eijiro just has the disposition for raising one, plus the little entry about them sensing when their trainer is down is rather cute and I think his would be rather in tune with him, totally Midnight Form when it evolves.
Bagon- He would absolutely be into the idea of Bagon's dream to fly and try to pump the little guy up at every opportunity, help them build up strength and try to fly, plus you can't deny that Red Riot pulling up on a Dragon wouldn't be awesome.
Bakugou
Cyndaquil- Again an idea from Aresia Mark, I adore the idea of this little meek Pokémon partnered with the hot tempered Katsuki, plus I like to think that they help out around the Kitchen, he also treasures that little one, being a Pokémon he caught with his Dad.
Ashido
Goomy- You can't convince me she wouldn't have this squishy little guy, a fierce little Dragon Blob that she's helping achieve the strength it dreams of.
Shellos- The West Sea form specifically, colour coordinating, would probably act like Starfires pet Silky, lazing about, but getting into wild adventures.
Yaoyorozu
Ralts- Perfect pick right of the bat the elegance and physic power would be a big plus for her, she'd show them the upmost kindness and care.
Flabebe- Blue to match the flowers in her Dorm which were picked for them, Florges is noted as for keeping gardens so I wouldn't doubt that the line would be a common sight around the grounds of the Yaoyorzu estate, and blue even more so, as they are stated to be highly valuable, and added bonus is what one will do when angered, as it's stated to fire Artillery like beams of light, so perfect for the Canon loving hero.
Sinistea- We included Applin with Fumi, so it makes sense that I'm include the troublesome teacup, perhaps it possessed a teacup in her house, and she found it so funny that they became friends, it's very particular, plus as well as the tea reference it's an object mon, so it simply works with Momo.
Sato
Teddiursa- Quite simply it loves honey, and becomes a strong beast of a Pokémon, in Ursaring, fits in with Sato just fine, as does.
Swirlix- Would I really need to explain the connection here, simply put a good choice.
Todoroki
Frigibax- Of course he'd have a pseudo legendary in his party, but it's ability is really where it's a perfect mon, as with Thermal Exchange it converts heat to energy, in this case boosting attack power, so they've been helping with the training of Shoto's firepower.
Litleo- I like the idea that whilst Shoto wasn't ready to accept his fathers power as such he didn't get the Litten that Endeavor planned to give him instead being given a Litleo, either from Rei or more likely Fuyumi, as it's more normal, with a very wild move pool, he doesn't hate the little guy, but wasn't to thrilled.
Sero
Treecko- The little lizard dude, I mean kinda a weed joke in there I guess, but I think it works, a mon that can keep up with the king of swing, plus it fits the pretty chill vibe that he brings to the table.
Sneasel- He's a little mischievous guy that matches his vibe and colours, what's more to want. Sero's are really just ones that I believe he would think are cool.
Asui
Sobble- Ha you fool you though it would be a Frookie! But no it's the sad water lizard, I think Tsu's confident nature could really help them overcome their frightened state.
Bounsweet- Not really sure but It fits her, and it's nice having a little ball of energy to contrast to Sobble.
Shinsou
Rowlet- I actually had a bit of trouble with him, but I though a little owl friend would suite him, if he was given the choice he'd pick the dapper little guy.
Elgyem- Pretty self explanatory, it messes with the opponents mind, plus again pretty dapper.
Now I would add the teams I built for Aizawa and All Might but it has taken me at least four hours to write this and I'd like to scroll this site, so leave your opinions on my choices, as I feel I got them down pretty well, maybe I'll do charts for their moves, stats and natures, but I'd have to get a bit better at drawing for that to happen.
One of his bio's states that he judges a persons quirk or fighting style by how they get his tape of themselves, the examples used being the burn marks from Ashido denoting her acid, and the stretching of Sato using his massive strength, do remember just because they aren't showing of their intellect doesn't mean they don't have it, all of them are at UA for a reason.
All of the kids in the hero course are highly intelligent, those states of intelligence seem to be when compared to each other, still using Hanta as an example.
Taking the early Ultra Archives, he ain't bad having very good stats across the board, even with intelligence being a lower ranked stat.
But in analysis he gets a further better rating, granted without the Intelligence stat, but that stat is probably not the best to use when discussing their tactical knowledge as Sero has the same stat in this feild as Tokoyami with a C, who is noted as being rather strategic, hence why this stat does not adequate to tactical intelligence.
Anyway sorry for the ranting reblog, I just like this sort of stuff, it's fun to see how characters are well given stats, it's weird but I think it's cool.
Holy crap. From what little we've seen of Sero so far, he hasn't really been the sharpest knife in the drawer, but here he is doing battle analysis on par with what Deku does. A bit out of nowhere to be honest but hey, Sero has had almost no focus or anything until now so okay.
more mha headcanon doodles before i move back to my dorm :3
Everything here feels, so right.
Tim Drake would love video games sm tho, and I do not see that represented enough.
He'd definitely speed run minecraft, rp to probably. First person shooter? How about first hand experience. FNaF fanatic oh my God he'd LOVE that game so fucking much. Absolutely a Sonic kid, like you cannot convince me otherwise. Mario less so but you knows hes probably played every single game anyways. Pokemon? Every single one memorized down to their exact coloration. Stardew valley? Do i even have to ask. Animal crossing? Perfected his village, villagers and all. Zelda? I cannot prove it but he has a lino Cosplay somewhere and he's worn it for under cover missions. He'd slay in DTI, have like 5 different mansions in Bloxburg, defiantly played Royal High until the capitalism became to close to the real world, probably has hundreds of avatars to. An expert at games like fnf has played half the mods to ever be made for that game. He's been playing fortnite since it's release. He'd have one of the top scores ever in subway surfers. He'd download those "complete your restaurant" type games and finish them in two weeks and it'd only take that long because the game forces him to wait sometimes. Candy crush is his bitch 100%. He'd download mobile games and finish them in a day and then keep redoing them till he's perfected his method. He has played and replayed countless driving based games, can learn almost any new one in 6 minutes. Going back to the speed run thing I think he'd just enjoy speed running games in general, and gridning. He'd love minecraft so much omg-. Last of us? Played. Iron Lung? Played. Cuphead? Played. Detroit Become Human? Played. Kindergarten? Played. Sallyface? Played. Splatoon? Played. He'd love small games to I just am not that into video games to know any to list- :').
I mean think about it. Going off the "Tim's parents are never home" version of him, he'd have so much time to just sit around and play video games. He has the money to buy them and the time to spend getting ungodly good at them. He'd have amazing equipment, and it'd give him some sort of community even if he doesn't really interact with it personally. Like if he's not out stalking Batman or at school, he's playing a video game. Even after he starts working for Batman, he'd overwork himself to the bone and he'd STILL find a way to go pro gamer in-between. Probably for like 0.5 seconds whenever he's got to stand up to get himself another energy drink.
Like please, video game nerd Tim Drake on my knees begging you add this to your stories and headcanons. Have him introduce other batfam members to video games. HAVE HIM INTRODCUE BRUCE TO CANDY CRUSH AND MAKE THEM GET INTO A COMPETITION ON WHO CAN GET TO A HIGHER LEVEL FASTER. He shows Damian animal crossing. He gives Jason a gaming console and like 50 different shooter games and one copy of stardew valley as a joke and did not expect Jason to get so into it. Him Cass and Steph would love those Roblox horror games. He'd force the whole family to start having game nights and they'd have a world on Minecraft that has the most insane lore you've ever heard. Like please give me more video game nerd Tim and tell me your headcanons on what games he'd like and what he'd introduce different batfam members to in the comment I am begging you.
WOOOH WOH WOH, repeat that last part to me?
Trains, absolutely Autism.
Dandadan is the most autistic love story ever. They became friends because they took a chance on each other’s special interests and ended up daydreaming about discussing the other’s with them. They couldn’t care less what others think of them but they can’t stand when the other gets slandered. They got jealous of each other because of characters who would be the main character if this was any other anime. She Even Knows About Trains.
So realised the other day that Tokoyami's naming conventions are Mythology based, Fallen Angel, Ragnarok, Tsukuyomi being the Goddess of the Moon in Japanese mythology.
You could even consider Dark Shadow a Valkyrie consider in the Smash comics they are female.
Hell you could further the connection by saying that the two could represent Hugin and Munin, Odin's two raven's, well now I've got names for two swords.
MHA has the distinct issue with the fact it's one guy writing it with a few editors chipping in, I think a lot of Manga and Anime could avoid some of their issues with just not expanding and using concepts.
Like there is so much in MHA that could have more done with it, there are more characters then there is time, there are 20 Students in the class, but I don't think we even know the reason they wanted to become heroes, what are the motivations for half of them?
Heroism has become this sort of sport in a way, competitive and there are so many of them, they have a ranking system, from memory, No Other Series Has a Ranking System For Heroes, because they don't need them, all other series have your Listers, A, B, C, D, there is no numerical title, and what the fuck does it mean to be No.1.
See that's what I want to see, why the fuck does being No.1 matter? And who better to ask that question in verse by Shoto, a victim of this sport, him and his brothers breed like Pokémon for their fathers selfish ambition to a title that in the long terms is really meaningless, a target really, what is being No.1 if anything but a status symbol, a don't fuck with me sign, the get out of jail free card. Like seriously did anyone ever explain what the fuck being number one even meant?
Why the fuck do Katsuki and Izuku even want that title, they just want it to be the best?
What I would have loved to see but I am so disappointed that we didn't get was MHA's version of Young Justice's Disordered, a final reflection and dissection's of the characters, the Todoroki's are their worlds version of the Wayne family.
Show me why Shoto is the better version of Endeavour, not just in power but who he is as a person, someone better, he wouldn't want anyone to endeavor what he and his family went through, he is MHA's Dick Grayson so desperate to become nothing like his father, taking the best parts of him making himself better, stable not one to create his own legacy through a child. He doesn't want another him, another Natsou, Fuyumi or Touya, he doesn't want another Endeavour as that name isn't a symbol of Enji's desire to become No.1 to Endeavor through everything that life throws, but no.
Endeavor isn't his title, it is badge of shame, it's not his. Endeavor is the title of the family, to hold out against him, Rei was endeavoring so much pain from seeing her family burn around her, eldest burning.
Fuyumi was holding out for the hope of a normal life, one she could enjoy and share with her family.
Natsou was holding out for the day he could leave to become his own person as far away from his family as he could.
Shoto Endeavored to even become himself he lost his childhood, but you can't lose something you never had.
And Touya, that poor boy so wide eyed and simply wanting his fathers love, his father to save him, but he burned his father frozen watching him, only to be saved by a demon who walked out of the flame.
This is MHA's Batfamily, and Touya has so much in common with Jason it hurts, they both just wanted their Father to save them, but they burned, Bruce tried to save Jason but he couldn't Enji froze, the two were brought back by demons, and had no qualms about murder, to kill to get that attention after they lost a portion of their lives.
But they never explore that, Horikoshi has had several chances to ask, how does it feel to die and be revived, to lose that time, but he never has.
If he had a few other writers to conifer with, you'd get something truly interesting, MHA needed more time in the oven, it has the hallmarks of a truly interesting story, but really didn't get the time to develop, so much was left unanswered, unwritten and unresolved, the status at the end of the series is the same, yeah it gets slightly better, but does it.
We still have people wanting to become heroes, we still have the rankings we still have people gunning for first, and what's that going to do?
Create another Todoroki family, and with Quirk Singularity that oversight of Hubris is going to start festering again, it may not be from the demon in the shadows, but rather the man in the mirror repeating the same mistakes that one man driven by the selfish desire for first made.
And this time they won't be facing Touya with an equal, but they might be facing Magneto with no answer.
I actually just do this my notes second at the bottom of the chapters just includes all the references I make to shit.
I don't know how much I need to include, so I do most if not all of it.
Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.
Still one of my favorite things about that whole sequence, as it really showed of his skill, like he swept through the lot, laid them all out the floor in about a minute, but took the time to tie the two together, what a lad.
Mirio is a kamijiro shipper and i love him for that, like, he took the time to tie Jiro and Kaminari together with her earphone jacks while he effortlessly swept through the rest of Class 1-A. he said ‘let me just sweep the floor with these kids while also exposing who i think will be a couple’
Could you imagen the, what the fuck?! moment when Creati, the hero know for spawning things into existence, pulls a knife out of her belt, like she didn't make that, she had it on her, she is using a pre-made knife to kill you, you have gotten to the point where she doesn't really want to think and just wants to beat your arse, well done random villain.
Momo stopped thinking.
Villain: "Ha, you seem to have out of juice Tenya, not so fast now, let's put you in the same place as your brother, in the hospital!"
Ida: "Call an ambulance then, but specify that it's for you." He says pulling two large knifes that look suspiciously like ice skates from the side of his boots.
Enemy: "What the fuck is stabbing me, oh god is that a floating knife! AM I BEING KILLED BY A GHOST?!"
Toru: "Worse, a naked woman with a knife!"
Enemy: "WHERE WERE YOU HIDING THE KNIFE!?"
I like to think that one of the lessons Aizawa taught class A is "always have a knife".
You never know when you'll need a knife so never not be in possession of a knife. As such every member of class A has a knife hidden somewhere in their hero costumes. His gift to them when they graduated were custom engraved knives with their student number on them.
Not on board? Ok. Just imagine how funny it would be tho.
Villain: "Number one hero Deku! I am punch proof! The more you hit me the stronger I get! How will you defeat me now-"
Midoriya: "Knife."
Villain: "Wha-" *gets stabbed*
Midoriya: "Knife."
Hero: "Oh no! We're tied up! However will we escape!"
Tsuyu: "Knife."
Hero: "What?"
Tsuyu, pulling a knife off the bottom of her foot with her tongue: "Knife."
Groupie getting a hug: "Are you using your quirk or are you just happy to see me?"
Kirishima: "It's a knife."
Groupie: "...What?"
Kirishima: "Knife."
Villain, completely insulated in rubber: "You're a one trick pony chargebolt."
Kaminari, reaching down into his boot: "Oh boy are you wrong my dude!"
Hero: "You need to calm down."
Bakugou, reaching down into his V-neck: "Listen here you son of a BITCH-"
Hero: "WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE!?"
Kouda: "Stop scaring the pigeons! They're a domesticated species that we abandoned back into the wild. They're sweet creatures who are pets by nature!"
Douchebag: "Or what?"
Kouda: "..."
Douchebag: "..."
Kouda: "..."
Douchebag: "oh my GOD HE HAS A KNIFE-"
I really quite like my modern Edward design, he looks really good.
Starting point was a Furness K4, gave him some LNER Mod's Tender being a 3,500 Gallon, New Cab and the Boiler is a Diagram 26.
