one of my favorite "out of the norm for fanon monoma" monoma headcannons is that he CANNOT flirt. at all.
a lot of people look at sly or cocky characters as absolute rizz gods which is fair most the time but we never actually see monoma flirt with anyone.
I think he knows how to be mean/annoying to an extraordinary level but just cannot flirt or give good compliments for the life of him.
my best canon example of this is that one time kendo was getting ready for that beauty pageant and monoma saw her and basically was like "lmao you actually look nice for someone who's so violent" (he had to verbally clarify that that was a compliment)
i also think he can't handle being flirted with or being given compliments. mostly because i like the idea of this asshole who is normally really smart with his words go like "uuhhh emr uhm errm erm uh ahahah uhhhh thanks hhhhahhahahahahhah uhhmmmm" but also because he probably doesn't get genuinely complimented a lot.
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.
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.
mina ashido being the aroace of all time <3 I like to think she flirts a lot because she finds it fun but an actual relationship to her (with acceptions bc shes aroflux) is just an advanced stage of friendship
she goes "flirting is the best parttt, the chase is so much fun!" and no one else gets it but her
i don't think anybody even considers this ship but Monoma/Deku
Monoma affectionately calling him his class A boyfriend but it always somehow comes out like a insult, even Deku gets annoyed to a point with Monoma so he often kisses him to shut him up. Deku getting Monoma to open up and tell him about his feelings on his quirk and how Monoma doesn't actually think highly of himself.
LISTEN IM ONTO SOMETHING
okay i must say this is the first time I heard of this pairing, but I checked ao3 and there are surprisingly 321 works on their tag ??? so I guess you are not alone at all my dear anon !!
I can say tho, they have a lot of potential for enemies/rivals to lovers, I'm really sorry I can't expand much because I really don't remember a lot of monoma for that, but I will seek some arts and fics so I can have stuff for next time
AND YOU ARE DEF ONTO SOMETHING HERE !!
I was searching for this on my blog and I realized I never posted it 😭
Monodeku modern midoriya is a super sweet buff frat boy and monoma is a kinda rude loser science nerd and they're college roommates
Monoma has a huge crush on midoriya but he refuses to admit it because what kind of person would he be if he was in love with the guy everyone on campas was in love with who was ALSO a frat boy.
Midoriya thinks monoma is pretty and loves banter with him <3 but he also slowly realizes they have a lot in common after midoriya reads one of monomas essays over his shoulder
He'd be like "yo no way!!! You're also into physics? I'm actually kinda into it myself!!"
And monoma goes "no fucking way."
And then midoriya goes on some nerd rant and monoma is like "that... actually....made so much sense" and midoriya is like "well duh did you think I was all muscle and no brain?"
Monoma is quiet for a bit and midoriya is like "Dude." In an exasperated tone and then from that point toward monoma discusses his essays and homework with midoriya on all types of science because as he finds out, midoriya is just a nerd with giant muscles
AND THENNN they bound of mutual childhood mistreatment from peers and monoma is steadily like "okay maybe it's okay to have a crush on this guy.." and the whole time midoriya is just
"FUCK YEAHHHHH TIME WITH THE HOT BLOND GUY"
