i feel like the fandom either hate or love monoma, and i'm not ashamed to say i love him. he's probably one of my favorite characters amongst the students
so allow me to yap about how i feel a monoma-centric rewriting of mha would go
it would have the same start as the canon focused on izuku. monoma learns early in life that quirks have a huge impact on the way people see you but he decides to become a hero anyway.
the story would focus on monoma accepting he cannot become a hero like All Might (or the most popular ones in general), that he has to use his own tricks despite how unheroics they may seem. it would put an emphasis on monoma's inferiority complex. he literally describes himself as a 'background character' (or something like that). then you'd also have the whole dynamic of neito having a quirk considered weak/useless/villainous and having to prove his worth to both himself and his classmates (that would be interesting if he was fighting against Todoroki or Bakugou).
Shinsou would be an important part of the story too because i love him and i wish we'd seen more of their dynamic.
and don't even get me started on monoma making fun of 1A. I feel like this could make an interesting point on unhealthy coping mecanisms. like, you just need vlad king (who would be the parental figure™ of the story) telling monoma that putting other down won't help him in the long run, that he needs to focus on himself and that popularity doesn't matter in high school (it sounds like shit but trust me it has potential). and then bam (pun intended) you get a parallelism with bakugou who's also working on himself.
as the story goes, monoma learns to trust his classmates and work with them. he accepts he needs others to succeed (yk the whole power of friendship team) and is proud to be alongside his classmates and friends during fights.
monoma canonically struggles with his grades, which could be an important theme related to his self-worth issues (like, he's the only one who failed the midterms so he feels bad bc he feels like he doesn't deserve his place in the hero course)
and last but not least, you could even draw a parallel between him and afo: afo steals quirks, and so does monoma. the only diference being that monoma is doing this to help people and works with others.
anyways, i love him 🩷
seeing the sukuna fans talk about how the end feels rush or something makes me want to give you guys a pat on the shoulder /pos

rei recognizing her son immediately at first glance when he came on that tv but endeavour failing to do so in their fight pre-war knowing that he’d probably seen pictures of him on the news beforehand and still not seeing touya through dabi will forever break my heart
NO LIKE LITERALLY THOUGH!!! it’s genuinely so heartbreaking!!! but i also think a mother can just recognize their spawn like,, that’s her eldest sitting on that couch. her eldest baby, scarred and sutured to shit. her eldest baby, admitting to murdering 30+ innocent people. her eldest baby, presumed dead until this very moment.
speaking of rei and touya, i fucking love the way she goes to reach for him in chapter 426 when he starts coughing!! like !!!!!!!!!!! oh my heart just shattered when i saw it, especially since i rly do believe that touya is 90% his mother.
some arguments about characters nowadays are so funny, especially when it entails characters who are children or have their past shown at some point, because it’s clear that people forget they were also kids once.
take Dabi/Todoroki Touya from MHA, for example.
“i don’t care if he was 8-years-old, he should’ve known better than to be sexist and not to ‘trauma dump’ on his youngest brother.” this argument is a common one i’ve seen so far, here on tumblr and on tik tok.
like. babes. children acting out are the reflection of their parents/guardians. moments that Touya was saying sexist shit as a literal 8-13 year old is a reflection of his father—who Touya had a clear level of obsession on top of the obvious deep desire to be loved and acknowledged.
plus, i understand many of us matured prematurely, and that makes it easier to understand Shouto’s response to abuse more so than Touya, however, we need to remind ourselves that maturing early is not ok and not the case for every child who has gone through abuse. but also, beneath the layer of “maturity” still lies a lost child. you know that better than anyone.
i’m not saying you have to love the little rascal, but maybe focus on the literal murder he committed to feel some sort of vindication at his current predicament instead of his actions as a mentally unstable child lol.

me: chapter 10 shouldn't be too long, it's mostly dialogue and exposition for the future also me: *make it over 4k words long*
