Look At This Adorable Fan Art My Heart Can’t Take It Ughhh Twins W/ Twins So Cute!! 🥹

If I had a nickel for everytime Johnny Yong Bosch voiced a badass white haired character with big pecs who ends being experimented in a tube I will have two nickels...

And I wish it happens more often

This is such a specific niche of characters I love.

I thinking about the shenanigans of Shindo and Cider 'fighting' over who claims Deku's love after the war (non serious promise, these two are just idiots in love for the same brocoli).

I bet their unofficial triple dates will go like this:

...

Shindo: Hey Zuku! I brought your favorite for the dinner (he ordered katsudon)

Deku: Yo that's so nice! (his eyes bright and his cheeks had a soft pink tone)

Cider: Izu! I rented the entire AM golden era movie compilation, we can have our movie night (he used Endeavor's credit car taken from Shoto to rent the movies).

Deku: Really?! Guys... you don't have to all this for me... (his blush intensifies)

Shindo and Cider feel their faces hot after that both exclaim "NO!!!" at the same time, promising Izuku they're happy to spend some good time with him. They proceed to eat the dinner, while Deku is totally ignorant of the small tension between his two 'friends'.

Later they're sitting on the couch with a movie playing on the tv, but aside of Izuku the others aren't really paying attention to the movies.

Shindo got an idea an he extend his arm over Izuku shoulder, getting him closer to his chest.

Yo: Great night don't you think? (ask to Izuku while giving Cider a smirk)

Deku: Oh... yes (a bit nervious because of being to close to Shindo's muscular chest)

Cider stars feeling angry but he looks at Shindo as if was saying "b*tch please" and then suddenly he drops his head on Deku's lap for the surprise of the others.

Cider: Izu can you pat my hair please? (he put big innocent puppy eyes)

Deku: Of course! (His smile is equally bright)

Izuku loves how fluffy and soft Cider hair is, as he press and tangles his fingers on the light blue locks for the pleasure of Cider.

Shindo was about to get annoyed, but he feels how Izuku started cuddle against his chest, as he wanted to stay as close as possible to the two boys he's secretly in love with.

Izuku is just so happy to have both of them for him that even he forgets about the movies to enjoy the warm and softness of Shindo and Cider.

The tension between them also goes away pretty quick, as in the end they just want their beloved Izuku to be happy.

...

P.S: Cider also shaved a side of his head for match hairstyles with Izuku. Yes these boys are that silly for their brocoli.

HELP THIS IS SO FUNNYKJSDJKSDKJ I think this might be the second throuple I get since Kirishhima, Kaminari and Sero, so shoutout to you!!!

I love the idea of them "fighting" for Izuku's attention, they are so committed to surpassing the other that they don't even realize Izuku has been setting up dates with both of them in the hopes they will get along better and it just turns that they are months into this dynamic and don't know they are all kind of dating kjdfjkfd

It's so funny imagining all 3 of them with the fuckass lesbian haircut just to match Izuku and make him feel a little better <33

I will die on that hill.

And it's kinda depressing that the manga peaked in terms of villains right in the half of the 2nd act, and for the rest of the story we have... well not so good antagonist to fill the space left by Chisaki.

Fun trivia: In the character page for Nine in the Volume Rising, we can see in Horikoshi sketches that the palms of his hands were supposed to have the little holes that allow an AFO user to physically steal quirks.

Same holes All For One and Shigaraki have:

Yet, in the movie itself the holes are totally absent from Nine's hands despite his gloves are clearly designed with that specific function in mind.

I guess the production just totally missed that detail in the translation from Hori sketches?

Cloud boy

It was kind of a cheap explanation to justify the fact AFO and Yoichi look nothing alike. I mean even when non identical twins are far more common than identical ones, the nutrients thing still is a very dumb excuse.

Kudo not being Bakugou ancestor is another cheap attempt of plot twist or subvert expectations, just because Horikoshi can go with the whole "AFO is so mad at Kudo after 100 years that he projects his image in this random boy who looks like him". Is like a cheap imitation of the Yoriichi/Tanjiro dynamic with Muzan in Demon Slayer.

Funny how people call Nine to be emotionless, but he actually is a very passionate individual for his friends and ideals.

Shigaraki VA voiced Rui, a well written character I love. How ironic.

Canon possum is a joke but one thing I never forget is how decay IS powerful, sure a powerful quirk with an idiot is not a good thing in many fronts but...

Cinder (I'm loving him already) has to know a guy who can decay stuff with one touch even if he is an idiot.

Would cinder be worried about the quirk ?

Again, shig is an idiot and a bad leader and all that but one thing we can't deny is he knows how to fight.

So I think cinder would make a point to avoid him like the plague.

In canon Cider is the kind of person who knows he shouldn't bite off more than he can chew, since after all his plan during his debut was to steal during a very specific moment in which heroes aren't present, so is more reward without having to fight and less risk.

It was just a coincidence that A.M was there with Bakugou and Todoroki.

I guess his mentality also applies to fight dangerous villains, and the lov had some big names attached them. Their reputation probably was enough for Cider to not have his gang involved with such group of psychos.

But... I disagree on Shigaraki being a good fighter.

Maybe before all the bs power ups given by the doctor he at least knew how do surprise attacks and such, but Decay being such a one-dimensional quirk also means the user doesn't require a lot of skill to put it in use. It is basically just run towards the enemy and touch for instakill.

Which became even more braindead post awakening. Like even Overhaul has more room to be creative and need skill to put in use.

Decay is just a broken and boring quirk that requieres nothing to be effective. Crusty asshole somehow manages to be more plain than he already was at first, is like he evolves in reverse.

Matching tattoos for lovers is a trope I live for.

And Cider probably would get a taste of his own medicine is Izumi starts teasing him in more creative ways. Two can play the same game.

The whole cinderIzu is great and I welcome with open arms. For my au, I have an idea for them meet.

Again, BK is a footnote in her life and Izumi is not dedicating all her time and energy in thinking of him. (She hears how his quirk remains the same, no quirk awakening bs, how bk's attitude got worse and how Aizawa is sure BK is the future)

Izumi hears about the mpa here and there and ...is not impressed. She needs money, her group can't work by luck...they need ration and more, and Izumi is not happy ReDestro has "schools" for kids to learn their quirks...its just a camp where the kid learns how to use their quirk AND NOTHING ELSE (Geten my be alliterate here)

Stealing from Redestro is not something she can pull off on her own. She needs help to do this heist.

(the quirk schools aren't illegal, per se, but it rubs Izumi in the wrong way. She is right)

Enters Cinder. He shows up with his helmet, all gear up and...well, he too needs money and Mr. Youtsubashi is loaded and if he wants to make quirk schools, fine...let's rob the fucker.

Izumi gawks as Cinder removes his helmet. He is handsome and cute...she wasn't expecting this.

Lol

(I love a good mask reveal!)

I also live for the moments when a character takes of their mask and reveals to be hot, and Cider isn't the exception. I mean can you blame Midoriya for what him?

Note: Izu probably loves in particular the little scar Cider got in his eyebrown, he/her found that detail to be especially sexy.

...

Is funny you mention the whole plot of Cider helping Izu to steal stuff from Re-Destro company, as I also have this idea of him making an operation to steal from a werehouse full of valuable tech and support items that Detnerant (I think that's the company name) sells into the black market.

They would have success stealing a lot of merch they later sell to get money, but also Cider found a particularly expensive prototype of a high tech glider he decides to keep for himself and use to compliment his surfing style. As Mizunami is really into surfing in my AU, like he seems to be in canon.

Oh I forgot to mention before but the vigilante name Cider/Mizunami will use for my AU will be "Splashdown". Be free to use it if you like the name.

And since you mentioned Geten here, do you think he will have some role in the story? As I mentioned before I love the idea of Cider being a Himura, but also he probably was rejected by his clan because his quirk is water instead of ice and the Himuras seems to be the kind of elitist jerks to would dishonor a child for born with a "imperfect" quirk.

Which would create a lot of tension between Cider and Geten, especially is they reconogice each other. Geten hating Cider for being "a failed Himura" and Cider will hate Geten because he's just a "an attack dog" for Re-Destro.

I love this fan translation of Nine's origin chapter way more than the official. More specifically the first line of dialogue:

"Storms calm my heart" just sound much more powerful in context and express a lot more of Nine as a character, and how he find comfort on storms and by extension his own power.

In case you wonder how the official translation is, here's the same page just colored:

The 2nd part of the dialogue also sounds great in the official translation, in a sense the line is more raw than ambiguous. But that's not bad at all.

Whatever it is the official or fan translation, it's certainly amazing how much we can learn of Nine in just a single page of manga and how much Horikoshi was able to tell us about him in so less.

Oh boy, what could have been if Nine was a permanent part of the main story.

The Himuras have insane potential for fucked up plot lines about the worst kind of family tropes. You really have to be special if in a family reunion Enji Todoroki seem like the least bad family member Imao.

SeltzerBunny will live! It was a random idea but sounds good and catchy the more I think about it.

Sweden? Lol I was thinking about that country as well because I've played a lot of Cry of Fear, a great game that happens in that country made by people from there.

Love that idea of Midoriya doing the detective games an discovering about Cider that way, as a way to later connect with him.

Also she would put on a wig for the disguise? That would be hilarious.

...

Nine is more of an underdog raising into the power than what the canon story pretends Shigaraki is.

Think about it: crusty boy got everything on a silver plate, free goons, nomus, body enhancements, the og AFO quirk, fake muscles because he was skinny af and the list goes on. Even his team came to him by other people.

Nine only got an empty inferior copy of AFO yet he made it powerful by his own merits, and nobody got his people to come at him, he recued them earning their respect. Also he alreadg got that perfect body without bs surgeries and enhancements.

...

The sand thing will never stop being funny. And while I get it's pretty annoying being covered by it or the thing getting in your hair, I bet Cider loves how the sand feels on his feet and toes.

Idk why but I think he also loves being barefoot in general. Of course during combat and such he puts on his tactical boots, but outside of that he takes them off as soon as possible and doesn't like use slippers or anything like that in house.

I feel I'm always talking about this ship and Cinder and I thank you for that. I do have a question: does the media follow the cinder's gang?

I ask this bc I do want to give Izumi notoriety. Ofc she will WORK to gain it( I love her, but it would be disingenuous to the story making Izumi win by mere existing) but like the media does talk about the fearsome Usage (it's her moniker. A rare win for this fandom is the bunny jokes for Izu) and the same could be add to Cinder. He is a big name in the thievery world.

Or

Cinder works in the shadow and no one knows who he is?

Just wondering here bc I can work either way. Izumi gaining respect in the underworld and even getting the attention of big fishes like Nine.

It is still funny imagine Cinder being oblivious to how popular he is in the social medias. Villain fuckers are real and...he has never met them thanks to his good luck.

Izumi is watching the edits for...science.

You're welcome! Is always nice have more persons in this small fandom for the CiderIzu ship.

Can we call it SeltzerBunny too? Every ship good needs a corny name as well.

I assume the Cider House gang has sort of a reputation, considering their methods to operate and how they can wait for months before a big hit and not get captured in the process.

In my own AU nobody knows Cider is a member of the Himura family btw, but that's also probably because the clan erased a lot of his public registers and invented some story of "our son is overseas" or something like that.

Of course they're a famous gang in the otherworld however.

Ironically Nine is the underdog here, even his origin chapter put emphasis on how he "survived under the radar" considering how crazy his quirk is. I have my own ideas to flesh out this plot point, more info later.

I love the idea of Mizunami being totally clueless about his reputation in certain social media. He would probably think that's a bit cringe, but if it's Izu... he obviously doesn't mind.

He probably can get away because the mask covers a good part of his face, and that's a popular topic among his followers who fantasy about how he looks unmasked.

Only Izu (any version) got the privilege of see that handsome face in person.

I haven't seen anyone commenting about something weird on how AFO is represented in the recent art by Horikoshi:

That being the fact this is the "prime" version of him with his face restored, but wearing the final war outfit and maskless. Something clearly not possible in the story itself, as obviously that outfit was gone when he used rewind on himself for avoid die by the fire of Endeavor.

But the interesting part is that this isn't the first time Horikoshi draw AFO in this particular way, mixing his restored look with the purple jacket outfit.

The other time was in that cover in which he's facing Deku (a battle that never happened in the story, or at least not directly against his main body).

In that other art AFO also has a unique look for his mask not being seen in the story, that looks vaguely like it was still broken and almost melted by Endeavor but pieced together again while still being red hot.

Also do you notice in neither of those arts AFO has the rewind effects over him? Considering it was the plot reason he recovered his face in the first place, is a bit weird that the art of Horikoshi doesn't present him being under rewind.

And yeah I know all this can be attributed to simple creative freedom and Horikoshi though mix both designs was cool or something.

But I can't help and make my theories about this.

Can these arts be a sort of "what if" scenario?

As I said before is interesting to remember that Deku never actually fight against AFO directly on his real body, they never even encouter each other in that state for that matter, they only interacted via ShigAFO.

So maybe Horikoshi at some point had a totally different display for the final battle? One that involved Deku vs AFO and a different use of rewind.

Considering in both arts "prime" AFO appears maskless with his outfit intact, I wonder if the real revelation moment when the heroes managed to destroy his new mask wasn't seeing his potato face, but he already got his face restored offscreen.

Which could also explain why Horikoshi didn't drawn AFO with the rewind effects in the art. As probably the idea of him being on a time counter that will banish him wasn't originally part of the story and only was a leter addition.

So in this alternative scenario rather than go back to fight ShigAFO directly, Deku instead for some reason ends up in front of the original AFO and they have a real battle, just as it was represented in the cover art.

Don't know how the story should continue from that point, as it probably would change a lot more of how the rest of the final battle will play.

I mean your version of Dabi certainly has more going to my own, so that's complex in my eyes.

Not gonna lie, the genderbend for certain characters has a lot of charm and can see the appeal. I didn't see many female Midoriya, but I read a couple of stories when he is a trans woman and it was actually interesting and relatable, so anything it's possible.

I have a similar concept for Katsuma (the kid from the 2nd movie) in fact, if you want I can explain more of this later.

And your AU presents a more interesting spin of the tired "quirkless people only exist to be oppressed" and cheap sob stories, so that's alreaey a good signal.

Kinda like the idea of Midoriya doing photographer work. Question: does she work with that photographer guy who appears in the original anime episode from season 4? He seemed like a such nice guy in the only time they spend together, and is a shame he never was used again in the story.

I like how Dabi still acts a bit like a weirdo around fem Midoriya, as let's be real you can't expect a totally normal approach on relationships from him.

And the whole deal of her entering the yakuza world for Eri is also a good revision of similar concepts I've seen many times before, but they don't fully exploit the possibilities of the setting. Kai would have something to say about quirkless people in this story? I always find strange how his canon self never seems to comment about them...

I'm not even the biggest fan of Dabi in terms of looks, but always found very weird how the anime constantly makes him look way more defined and with bigger muscles than he has in the manga.

Isn't a bit contradictory for his character to look super ripped? Horikoshi clearly drawn Dabi in that specific way because the story makes emphasis on his body being more frail due having a weak constitution, also contrasting him to the rest of mens in the family who got the big and strong constitution of Enji, Natsuo especially. The anime just lose all the meaning behind that.

And this is more of a personal preference but I find Dabi's body in the manga to look much more attractive and less generic than in the anime. Skinny guys can look attractive as well.

Hi @nyc3

Thanks for the ask bc it's so fitting as I was thinking about how the fandom sees dabi and mr. Possum.

Let me start with this. Have you seen how in the Tumblr the tags of dabi x reader and shig x reader there a HUGE contrast in quality? Shig is depicted as a creepy and weirdo incel while Dabi IS "I'LL STEAL YOUR WIFE😏"

now on a controversial take. I do like the idea of dabi losing his scars. Why? Would increase his quality of life...I find odd how everyone in LoV accepts Dr. Evil's word and never try to take a second opinion. Also, without the scars Dabi would look way more like Endy making his claim be more powerful.

(not a fan of erasing Shig's scars nor the "crusty" jokes. Shig is handsome with his scars)

Now onto your ask: I think Bones just like to make characters hot in a conventional way, JJK men got to be hotter than the manga. But I do notice how bones lacks in translate the manga to anime. Some of the scenes of the manga were done so dirty.

Dabi became hotter aka buffer bc of this. Btw, many dabi x reader like to make the reader have a healing quirk (it should be a trope by now) just so it can heal dabi...which no one account that dabi IS self destructive, a healing quirk is nice but he would do again...unless he changes his mindset (I'm trying to explore this in my fic called besties)

Ask yourself: did shig NEEDED to be buffaraki? Was afo the quirk really need you to be buff?

(was necessary for Izu to gain muscles? Maybe, maybe not)

So to answer: Dabi is attractive in any shape. His writing trumps over shig any day even if shig IS more attractive than Dabi.
