Ochaco post!!
a monodeku fic idea where monoma and izuku are fighting a villain together who happens to have a love quirk, and monoma gets hit, but the catch is that the quirk doesn't work if the person affected already has a crush on the person that the quirk was SUPPOSED to make them fall for. so monoma has to make up all these bullshit excuses on why the villains quirk didn't affect him at all.
??to start off, its her quirk explanation makes 0 sense. She supposedly uses the fat lipids of her body to create things but after she uses her quirk there is no change to her body type at all?? and like, its not that bnha doesn't have quirks that showcase a very obvious body type change, fat gum and enigma are right there (which by the way, momo interning with fat gum would have been amazing for so many reasons). In addition to that, her training during the camp?? just??? what??? food doesn't immediately turn to fat after eating it, it turns to energy.
Which brings me to the point of: Its highly likely that momos quirk turns energy into things instead of fat lipids. If we go with the idea that some quirks are just mutated versions of things people already could do (example: Minas quirk could very well be her just being able to control her pores and sebum), her quirk could just be an mutated metabolism. Plus that opens a whole new world for hero costumes, if she doesn't use fat lipids she doesn't need giant amounts of skin showing to create something (which even if we went with the canon way her quirk works, her back could be exposed instead of her entire front side, exposing all her internal organs) and instead could use much smaller sections.
There are also just so many issues I have with her hero costume. Again, her internal organs are all exposed, her her costume provides no protection against anything. Plus its ugly. AND the people who made it just gave it no thought that they were giving it to a 16 year old??? a small detail but how in the world is the book that she keeps on that weird shelf thing (that's probably a pain in the ass for several reasons, I mean, its on her back so she cant see it at all so how many times do you think she's bumped into something because of it)?
for her winter costume they just give her a cape??? and expect her to deal with it?? what???? Honestly momo is just really poorly thought out and it deeply upsets me. RIGHT I FORGOT!! for the training camp, what she canonically does aligns with the idea that her quirk is based on the energy she gets from food and not fat lipids. She continually eats food while producing things, again food doesn't instantly turn into fat lipids so it makes sense that she's using the energy from to food to make things instead. That also gives her the abilities to optimize her quirk by finding foods that work well with a fast metabolism and eat those instead.
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.
please consider Jirou fighting with a polearm/staff.
okay wait so we all know how she does the whole ear-jack twirl:
This thing ^
and I know she's using her control over her ear-jacks to coil them around her fingers but consider:
she transfers the twirling motion to a pole or staff. I just think she'd be able to use a polearm very well.
ALSOOO Momo used a staff so they could be girlfriends and share or something idk
Monodeku is literally just:
monoma: we can't be in love!! were forbidden rivals, forever fainted to be in a limbo between hatred and romance <//3
Midoriya: Okay!! but youre pretty <3
Monoma: Nooooo!! the rivalry!!
Literally anyone else: you do realize you're the only one holding yourself to these standards right??
GHOST YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN KAMIDEKU AND MONODEKU IM HYPER FIXATED ON BOTH OF THEM JUST AS MUCH 😭😭
SO SO SORRY ANON but you know there’s a right answer. There’s always a right answer when Monodeku is involved.
what are your top 3 favorite pairings for Monoma my boy
OO!! Fun question :D
My top pair would obvi be monodeku! I forget why I originally first started shipping them but I slowly became obsessed with them :)!
Number two would probably be shinsou!! I really enjoy their dynamic both romantically and platonically :D
ANNND number three is todoroki! Which I know sounds strange but I really enjoy monoma finding the top members of class 1-A attractive. It's makes me giggle! I mostly enjoy them platonically but romantically they're fun as well :)
