HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZUKU 💚🎂

MY BABY

i'm finally publishing my fanfic!

two weeks ago, i published a one shot entitled a lesson never learned (only violence) and mentioned i would probably turn this into a multi chapter fic

well, i'm doing it!

it's titled can you melt a frozen heart? (or will you let it burn down?) and the first chapter is already available on ao3 :) (link below)

a lesson never learned works as its prologue since it takes place 7 years before. that's why i'm keeping the two works separated

so, if you like villain shouto, touya being a good sibling (or at least trying), league of villains as family, endeavor facing consequences, tododeku and dabihawks, feel free to give it a try!

if you read it, thank you so much! this means a lot to me 🩷

i’m so glad i read mha:vigilantes ages ago bc my horrible memory is stopping me from saying “uhm actually in the manga☝️🤓” every damn second

hii !

the third chapter of can you melt a frozen heart? (or will you let it burn down?) is out! it's titled 'and i'm a witness watching it' , hope you enjoy!

Preview:

Shouto still did not like the League of Villains.     He, once again, stood against a wall, however, this time Touya stayed close to him. It reassured him. Touya literally radiated heat, so Shouto could feel him by his side. Call him a baby but he felt untouchable with his big brother near him. More than a bodyguard, Touya acted like a hero in his eyes. If All Might could maintain peace in Japan, Touya could maintain safety in Shouto’s life. * “So, why is the troupe gathered?” Mister Compress asked from the bar where he sat, stimming with a duo of marbles in his hand.     Toga commented how she thought they were a league and not a troupe. Shigaraki got up and - oh god that hand was truly disgusting. Anyway, Shigaraki got up and stood before everyone while scratching his neck.

“UA’s organizing a training camp for the first-year students. We’re gonna sabotage it.”

atlas haiiiii

hiiiiiiii

Mr. Compress, in a jail cell.

Guard, standing outside the cell.

Mr. Compress: “Would you like to see a magic trick?”

Guard: “Make it quick.”

Mr. Compress, holding out a deck of cards: “Pick a card, any card!”

Guard, takes a card.

Mr. Compress: “Now close your eyes and hold the card to your forehead.”

Guard, following his instructions.

Mr. Compress: “On the count of three, open your eyes!”

Guard: “1… 2… 3.”

Guard, now standing in the jail cell: “What the—“

Mr. Compress, now outside the jail cell: “Reveal your card!”

Guard, flipping over the card, seeing an Uno reverse card: “Ohhh! Hey, that was pretty good!”

Mr. Compress: “Thank you, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Guard: “Haha, okay— Wait, no, get back here!”

Mr. Compress running out of the room.

You know, come to think of it, it’s WILD that any parents sent their kids to UA after what just happened lmao

Me: I'll do a simple manga panel colouring to finally draw faster in digital

Me to myself: FUCK OFF

touya is a drama queen (/pos), you can’t just fit him in a tiny case

if he had been there he would have stolen the show (as he should). you know that time he made a dramatic bow during the final fight? that.

the only thing that could’ve fit in the epilogue would’ve been seeing him eat soba with shouto and/or reading spinner’s book. but anything related to the Todoroki Family Drama™ would’ve required so much more information. you can’t tell me touya wouldn’t have spent an entire chapter roasting endeavor if he had been given the opportunity

my hot take is the reason we never saw anything of Touya in the epilogue is because anything with Touya would require several pages of explanation, you can't stuff it into a tiny frame.

him dying in the thingamabob? would need room to show the family's reactions and especially Shouto's who if this were the case would have failed to save his brother, Rei's about saving her son's life from being killed by Endeavor only for him to still die, and Natsuo, who was the closest to Touya and hasn't interacted with him at all since learning he had survived the fire.

Touya recovering and outliving yet another pessimistic prognosis for his life expectancy? what would he even do with his life, after the people who were his friends were slaughtered and captured by the oppressors they had fought against, and lost? the only reason he didn't share their fates is his relation to Enji.

him cutting off Endeavor? took Natsuo three pages to do, no way to fit it into a brief montage.

Touya escaping with the League? that's a whole another manga of its own.

the mha vigilante anime is throwing me back into the mha fandom
