It Is Both Probably, The Perfect Combination On Cider's Eyes.

I think I'm in love with Giulio Gandini already

I didn't think Katsuma sound a bit similar to Katsuki, at least in romaji because their kanji names are nothing alike. But isn't a problem for me because Katsuma is a pretty name, and in my story she has a personal reason to keep that name even after transition.

And yes, she has her canon cell activation quirk which can be used for heal, BUT Katsuma in this story also had a quirk awakening that developed a "cell degradation" side which allows her to use her quirk for the opposite effect, so instead of heal cells she can also kill them or create necrosis.

...

I do like your idea of Muscular not telling anyone that he lose to Izumi, I guess he also had a bit of fragile ego there but it's funny how even in canon Goto new obssesion with Midoriya after being defeated seems less like "I want my revenge by killing you" and more like "I never had so much fun in my life, please Midoriya let's fight forever!"

I honestly wish Horikoshi played a bit more with Muscular than just get rid of him inmediately after bring him back. His dynamic with Midoriya is strangely fun and flow very well, and it's fun to think Goto actually adores Izuku/Izumi as the person he can always give him and exciting fight, rather than just want to kill him/her like Shigaraki wants.

I hope your idea of this little society between Izumi and Chisaki leads to them facing Re-Destro together, as I always needed that sweet ideological battle of him and Overhaul.

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.

I do actually share some concepts presented here in my vision for MHA.

Always found baffling how Horikoshi clearly shows the quirk doomsday theory as something very real, but at the same time every character who brings the topic has to be irremediable crazy and with no reedeming qualities so naturally the heroes wouldn't take the issue seriously and the status quo persist (Yeah Horikoshi is subtle about his agenda there).

Aside of your idea of the childrends dying for their bodies not being able to support their strong quirks, canon actually shows us how fucked up the lives of certain individuals can be purely because of their quirks and no "muh society" like the LOV. I mean one of Chisaki’s goons the one who eats everything is implied to be crazy because his quirk makes him desparate to ingest anything similar to Moonfish, or that civilian from Team Up mission who's body produces a toxic gas he has no control over and can kill him, so he has to live alone and far away from other people in a special house.

There's crazy untaped potential in the doomsday theory, and in my vision I use this for give Chisaki a more nuanced objective as aside of getting power for the yakuza he also grows to want do something for revert the possible end uo human kind due quirks.

I guess our versions of Overhaul are also pretty different...

Not against the idea of Midoriya beating Muscular with other than brute force, as the whole point of his canon character should be that he's supposed to be smart and a great strategist but most of the time he wins just because he can punch hard which is disappointing af. If you could elavorate on how she would defeat Goto I'm intersted on learn.

Also I hope something more can happen between them, because I read some stories that give Goto (Muscular) more characterization and his relationship with Midoriya have an interesting twist because he or she brings Goto more human side to the table.

...

A brief synopsis of my rework for Katsuma is that is teenager of 16s in this story rather than a little kid, but he also comes out as trans woman at that age after starting her hero studies. And Katsuma who is an actual pupil of Edgeshot in this story, not only was instructed since young age in several combat disciplines aside of shinobi ninja style, but she choose a butterfly theme for herself being symbolic to change.

I imagine Katsuma (she doesn't change her name) wearing a beautiful haori with the shape of butterfly wings, a homage to Shinobu Kocho from KNY obviously, and she also has two small butterfly tatoos one on her belly and the other close to her chest. Do you pick the reference?

Katsuma eventual meeting and relationship with Nine is also the heart of my vision of the story, just like arguably their dynamic is what makes Heroes Rising plot happen in canon.

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.

From my rare pair hell: the leader of Cider House (name unknown) x Deku.

So random, but I was imagining Deku being the first to respond to the report of the Cider House gang attacking the a nearest area so he goes there while they're robbing a restaurant.

His eyes are quickly directed to the attractive guy who seems to be the leader and wears a blue tank top, which makes Deku blush without even realize. He hear the leader claim of stealing the money and get some food; for some reason he looks pretty familiar to Deku.

The leader is quickly captured by a black whip and he faces a really creepy looking dark hero, and his gang members run away out of fear.

The dark hero seem to be preparing his fist to attack and the leader scared thinks his end is coming but... the dark hero just is holding a box of bento on his hand and he can feel a nice smile under the mask.

Deku: you know... you don't have to steal food I you want a meal.

Leader: Uh... okay... (for some reason he got a small blush because of the dark hero offering).

*the scene cut to them on a roof just eating the lunch together and being pretty close even if they don't realize**

Deku is keeping his objective of try understand why villains ended up like that and save them in or way or another, and he hears Cider story with interest, even commenting on how awesome Cider water quirk is.

At some point Deku holds the leader hand and promise to give him a chance to change for better, they both have an intense blush but the leader accepts the offer with a smile.

...

P.S: Imagine Bakugou reaction if he knew Izuku is getting along with the same villain he captured months ago, he's going to lose it for real lol.

Here you really are being a visionary, I gotta be real, I don't even remember seeing this guyjkjfdkj BUT from aesthetics only I like the match, the darker green - mint green looks good together

But also the guy is really pretty and attractive so no wonder Izuku would be eyeing him... And something about Deku being compassionate to villains that commit small crimes because he has the mind to understand that not everyone is doing this because they're some evil edgelord but because the world is unfair. I do think this could turn into a good relationship

And now i'm mad at you because this sounds really good in my head right now and i can't get content from it JSDKJKJDF is this the life rarepairs shippers choose....

I didn't follow Pokemon in like 10 years, but is funny how always I see a MHA/Pokemon mashup Midoriya always have an Eevee, and I got the vibe people are going for with this pair.

On a related note, for MHA canon verse I wish the concept of animal manefesting quirks was more explored, because outside of Nezu who is functionally the same as a mutant, animals with quirks are a dope concept. Basically pokemons for that world!

Cider being Cider in every universe is a reason why I love him.

Any other character you like for this crossover? Since you know better than me about pokemon as franchise.

...

Like everything else, good writing goes first but aside of that MHA for some reason works perfectly as a crossover sandbox. Heck I've never seen a franchise being used for so many crossovers like MHA.

Every franchise, character or concept you can imagine can fit in MHA like a glove. Maybe because the premise of "everything is a superpower and everyone has one" is so easy to adapt into other things.

Personally my fav crossover is MHA x KNY.

Any crossover between MHA and other franchise you like?

Hi @nyc3 funny you ask me this bc I was thinking about an au where Izumi is in a pokemon world. Srsly!

Izumi is a poke trainer, she has eevees and eeveelutions (I think it fits here. One Eevee can be anything just like Izumi)

And well Cinder menages to steal a gym becaming a gym leader (people like him better lol) and well, things happen.

On a broad side, I don't have much crossovers for mha. They work fine as they are...they just need a good writing.

This scene lives rent free in my head 🫣

Also I wonder why Nine is nude inside that tank but Shigaraki was using a swimsuit in the same situation:

Ujiko is such a naughty bastard lol.

Fellas, it is weird to find collarbones to be extremely attractive?

Cause I do like them...

I wish I have more collarbone pics of Nine...

And not from MHA but Eren certainly has some sexy looking collarbones:

My mind goes crazy right now.

If you show this to someone who doesn't read MHA or don't have much context about the story, would they guess these are two separate characters?

Lol, it would be a fun experiment.

The resemblance between Yoichi and Nine is uncanny.

"Incorrect" basically means what you said, that being ships that piss off the fun police of the fandom lol. For me there's no such thing a incorrect ships, is just fiction and people is free to enjoy whatever they want.

Anyway, I made a quick comparision between manga and anime design for Kokichi:

It's a subtle difference, but is funny how in the anime Mahito give him a 4 pack and small pecs while in the manga Muta is still a stick figure.

And what a work of art 😅 Kokichi looks hot as hell either form.

And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

Of course! And your own analysis on the ship it's really on point ☝️

They not only look delicious together, but the pair is surprisingly rich in themes and concepts despite their limited interactions. It even gives the chance to explore other angles for Mahito than most of his ships.

As you said this situation is clearly fucked up, and poor Kokichi might feel guilty because the first 'person' to give him the chance to experience such emotions and pleasure is Mahito. But given the chance it can also allow Kokichi to explore his own darkess desires.

I imagine something like he deeps inside would have a spin for being a bit rude to others due his own way to live all his life, but he could never do something like that to Miwa who is so sweet and pure that he would repress any kind of thinking about it.

But with Mahito? No problem!

All the opposite, Mahito would tell Kokichi during sex "Pull my hair" or "Harder!!!" so Muta can unleash all his repressed desires without any guilt about it.

Mahito may be ended up being adictive lol.

The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in.

Who knows? Maybe the first thing they could do together is take a bath in the nearest lake just being covered by the moonlight 😌 Mahito wanting to clean Kokichi of all the medical solutions and chemicals of his old bathtub, so he washes him kindly while Muta is a bit overwhelmed by all the sensations.

And thank you for take your time for answer! Glad you also liked this really obscure and unknown ship.

P.S: I also try to figure how the ship should be called. MechaHito? Is hard to came with a good name lol

Speaking of incorrect ships: there's a lot of Mahito/Junpei but not so much Mahito/Mechamaru, considering Muta is his other well know victim and they have that very sus scene in the bathtub.

Lol you have to love how the anime unlike the manga made Mahito give Kokichi a body with some nice muscle lines. Any reason in particular?

I think about this ship as some kind of "enemies with benefits" in which both can get something good from the other despite not like each other.

Kokichi never experience real pleasure obviously, and Mahito might as well have some kind of awakening after repair Muta's body. A kind of "usually I despise humans, but you're my creation and feel different somehow 😏" mentality on Mahito part.

So instead of fight to death, Mahito give Kokichi an offer of experience each others bodies and he ends up accepting but full of doubts. Inside he wants to live and reunite with his friends and gf, but if the strategy works he might get a good experience out of it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by incorrect ships, I'm guessing you're referring to the ships dubbed wrong-bad-wrong by the puritanical fandom goers because otherwise I don't subscribe to an idea of correct/incorrect ships. (This got rambly but I wasn't sure what you meant by it, and I'm genuinely perplexed)

But you've opened my eyes! I know that junpei/mahito is an obvious ship even though there's very few fic but I never even thought of mahito/kokichi. They are so delicious!

I haven't paid much attention to the changes in kokichi's muscles in the anime and manga when idle transfiguration gives him a body, so I'll take your word for it lol.

I absolutely LOVE the enemies with benefits thing you pointed out!! Idk if you can tell but I'm very excited about this ship. Firstly because it's something new to me, I never thought of them. So thank you for showing me the way, lol. And secondly because they are just so so soooo good together!! Kokichi striking that deal with kenjaku and mahito knowing what he is signing up for, and then getting his body and honestly that battle with mahito was a very tense watch. And a read! And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

I love that dynamic of being something because someone else shaped you into it and the mutual obsession rising from that. I absolutely adore mahito being obsessed with his creation. Something that he didn't distort and twist into something abhorrent, something that is whole. The first thing he created that didn't put misery out into the world. The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in. Zeroing in on the sensations and the pleasures that kokichi can feel for the first time. Feeling some kinda way about being the one who made it possible for him to feel them. It's all so goooood and fucked up. I love it.

Thank you so much for putting this on my radar! I'm going to be thinking of them for a long looooong time.

Giulio said it's a real free state

Also technically it's a spring fling but whatever, Deku is going to get a real taste of Italy and I'm not talking about wine or spaghetti 👅
