I somehow came across your blog and it was a blast from the past! I used to be one of the original Monodeku fic writers (I think I unironically posted the first or second fic focused exclusively on them) and it’s so nice to see people who still like them! :D I haven’t been into BNHA in foreveeeer, I hope Monoma has gotten more screentime since then
I smiled sm when I read this!! Being noticed by one of the first monodeku ao3 authors is so fun!!
Monodeku is probably my favorite bnha ship <3 they're actually what got me to start posting on Tumblr!
I've read through their tag on AO3 so many times and all of the fics are good! Honestly I just think anything with monodeku is brilliant :)
And Monoma HAS gotten so much more screentime! Still not as much as I would like (I love monoma so much.) But he got a whole backstory scene and he plays a big part in more recent things!!
I treat the danganronpa girls like dolls it’s so fun
monodeku actor au where they are supposed to act like they hate each other on set cause yk, monoma hates 1-A. But, they’re not very good at it and fans can tell. In the background where monoma and Midoriya are, you can tots see them flirting. plus whenever monoma has to deliver a line to Midoriya specifically it always has undertones that it should not have. like why do you sound romantic saying that he’s a piece of 1-A scum.
the entire sports festival arch is a mess in this au. every time Midoriya is in a scene you can see monoma in the background ogling him and it’s actually kinda funny. the final cut of one of the episodes accidentally left in a bit where Midoriya does something and Monoma was so busy staring at him that he full-on faceplants. they just. didn’t cut that out.
and during the cavalry battle you can totally see team monoma run by team midoriya more than once obviously intentionally and each time he says something to midoriya which results in midoriya making a scandalized face while ochaco has to stop herself from giggling.
ugh and what if monoma was initially meant to make it into the 1v1 fights but the producers saw how he and midoriya were and decided that actually team kendou should make it instead. they didn’t want a homo fight on their hands.
and like that one scene they show where monoma is taunting iida, ochaco, and midoriya at lunch had to be reshot several times because monoma could NOT get his lines out without it sounding like hes actually asking midoriya out. like at one point he fully leans on the chair midoriya is sitting at the and the director goes “bro. are you serious right now.”
day 28 - ochako uraraka 🌸
if someone made camiemina art or fic in this day and age i would 100% kiss them
Monodeku au that takes place in a world where quirks are only a thing in comic books. Midoriya has a ton of hero merch still but then reads about batman and is like "I can do that" and sells his hero merch and becomes a vigilante. Monoma is the "villain" of the story but then its "enemies" to reluctant teammates to friends to lovers.
some excerpts/ideas from this au because I can't write but this au is all I think about so here are some small little bits about it :). ALSO! Mei and Shinsou would be there too because they are best friends.
-after becoming a vigilante Midoriya slowly becomes BEST FRIENDS with a few members of the police force (cough cough Eraserhead and Tsukauchi cough cough).
-Midoriya is absolutely LOADDDED which is how he gets away with everything and it's how he safely is a vigilante.
-Midoriya, before selling all of his comic merch, was a known collector in multiple groups. He had so much expensive and limited edition stuff. So, when he started to sell everything all the other collectors were like "dude??"
-How Mei met Midoriya: Midoriya was looking for places to buy body armor and commission custom pieces and such when he comes across some really sketch ad. He basically goes "fuck it we ball" and it turns out to be such a good idea and he makes one of his best friends.
-Midoriya and Shinsou introduction is:
Midoriya: [chilling on a roof looking over city]
Shinsou: Come here often?
Midoriya: OH SHIT [jumps off the roof like a startled cat]
Shinsou for the next few minutes: Oh fuck I just killed someone oh fuck oh fuck
Midoriya, climbing back up the building: IM ALIVE
then they become best friends because of the absurdity.
-the way Monoma gets introduced is: he puts on a silly little villain persona on Twitter to add some spice to the new vigilante's life. What he doesn't expect is the vigilante to start tweeting back at him. They argue back and forth for a bit. Obviously very joking on Midoriyas side, Monoma doesn't know that though. Then they meet up for a bit when they both have to run from the cops together because who knew being a public menace and vigilante was illegal.
The running from the cops really jumpstarts their friendship, which continues via Twitter and occasional meet-ups. Then they start subtly flirting on Twitter and everyone gets pissed at them for it.
-There would be no angst in this au because I cannot write it for the life of me. It's just Midoriyas silly little hijinks as a make-shift rich-ass vigilante with his newfound friends and father figures.
I have been thinking about this au for over three years I needed to get it out of my brain SOMEWHERE.
Izuku, driving: Kacchan, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Todoroki-kun got turned into a cat, so I’m just concerned as a friend. You’re my hero partner, not him.
Bakugo, sitting in the back seat: Then tell me why IcyHot gets to ride shotgun.
Izuku: Cat or not, he gets car-sick. You know this.
Bakugo:
