A SFW request where Muzan is REALLY just a timid and easily scared guy, who everyone somehow thinks is terrifying and evil.

Only the uppermoons knows what he's really like and is very protective of him because if his kind and timid personality.

Could I have some headcanons about their thoughts on this Muzan?

The Upper Moon's thoughts on a timid yet kind Muzan.

        I don't usually write for Gyokko due to my incompatibility to understand his personality well enough to write about him, but I figured it'd be a good writing challenge for me.

        Wordcount: 996

The title “Demon King” is already fearsome enough. No demon dares utter the king’s name in fear of his curse he’s instilled to the species. Any demon who talks bad about their progenitor often faces the wrath of the Upper Moons. Demons who get summoned to the Infinity Castle assume the king is mad at him, why else would he be shaking in anger? 

        In truth, he’s shaking of fear. The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, the one who leads the Demon species, is a total coward. Understandably, having a burning feeling in your throat after taking a vaccine in hopes to strengthen the weak body that left you bedridden for almost your entire life would be scary. Finding yourself with growing strength and hunger after taking said vaccine, then killing the doctor who made a cure to save you from death, then the terrible thirst for human flesh and cannibalizing the species you used to be, would be terrifying for anyone.

        Muzan’s newfound abilities and thirst for blood left him feeling scared, especially once the Demon Slayer Corporation formed and sought out to destroy him. He eats humans to survive just as humans eat cattle to survive, why are they attacking him when he’s just trying to live as another other human would? To save himself from being hunted down, he’s found a way to multiply demons and build himself his own army to defend himself (more so slow the slayers down from getting to him). As the years went by and demons populated Japan (possibly the entire world) six demons made their presence known in the demon world for their strength. 

Kokushibo:

        As possibly the first Upper Moon and one of the oldest demons to still exist, he’s been by Muzan’s side for centuries. The Upper Moon originally joined Muzan after gaining his mark as a Demon Slayer, but after learning a slayer with a mark doesn’t live past 25, he became a demon.

        Now that he works under Muzan, he's seen Muzan true self (the one most demons aren't aware of) he's not entirely sure if he's scared of the demon or not. The only reason he doesn't fight or kill Muzan would be because of Muzan's abilities. Muzan may be a coward, but he can certainly protect himself if it comes to that. 

        Kokushibo thinks it's a little admirable, to live in a world where those hate and seek to kill you, then to dominate an entire species to your beckoning call, it evens the scale out and makes up for Muzan's cowardliness.

Douma:

        Douma thinks it's quite enjoyable that Muzan is a scaredy-cat. He likes hiding in the Infinity Castle and waiting for Muzan to turn the corner so he can jump at him (he almost got his head slashed off for that). Douma might hold back on his teasing of Muzan if Koushibo says something about it. 

        During meetings, he'll purposely act out to see if Muzan is brave enough to punish him (it usually results in a fight with him and Akaza, a argument with Daki, or Nakime having enough and teleporting him out of the Infinity Castle). 

        Douma doesn't understand how mean his actions are due to his inability to understand or feel much emotions, but Akaza can hit him enough to realize when his words are uncalled for. Douma doesn't see Muzan as weak, he understands Muzan's strength, he just doesn't have much attachment to his own life and therefore has no fear in teasing Muzan. 

Akaza:

        Akaza loathes Muzan's real personality. He doesn't like weak people; demons are no exception—especially if you're the demon king. He believes that Muzan should pass his title down to someone with a more authoritative persona, but that's until he realizes how powerful Muzan truly is. 

        Akaza may not like Muzan's timid personality, but he does respect Muzan's ability to hold up in battle, earning Akaza's position as the third Upper Moon. Akaza doesn't know whether to interpret Muzan's kindness as him pitying Akaza for being weaker than him, or if Muzan's just truly being nice because of the goodness of his heart. 

Hantengu:

        Hantengu understands Muzan's timid personality. Hantengu will gladly hide with Muzan somewhere if one of them feels threatened or scared. Despite them both having a timid personality, he does still feel fearful of Muzan and acts like he's walking on eggshells because he knows of Muzan's true strength. He believes Muzan's personality is misleading. 

Gyokko:

        Gyokko isn't sure whether to feel pity for Muzan or make fun of his personality. He might make a few teasing comments, but unlike Douma, he values his life a bit more. He thinks it's artistic (oddly enough), he believes Muzan's appearance and aura screams "intimidation" yet Muzan's true personality is just being a scared and loving coward. 

        Gyokko likes to make vases for Muzan, he believes Muzan won't take it as a sign of disrespect to his higher up (Muzan loves the vases). 

Gyutaro + Daki:

        Gyutaro laughs at the irony; the most powerful demon being a scaredy cat, it's funny to him. Gyutaro doesn't make fun of Muzan because he's afraid of Muzan's strength. Daki, however, does not find his personality as funny like how Gyutaro does. Daki has a little crush on Muzan because of his thoughtfulness to her and Gyutaro.

        Daki will defend Muzan and lash out at Douma and Gyokko if they pick on Muzan (Gyutaro will reluctantly back her up). Gyutaro might feel pity for Muzan at times, but in those cases he doesn't really do anything other than listen more to Muzan. Daki aims to please him so she does whatever he requests of her, going above and beyond to prove how useful she is to him.

I’m gonna pretend he’s alive and they eventually get along and become mates, Ok? Ok

Going back to review MHA, I don't really understand the participation of at least 20 teenagers in the cast if they're not going to do anything

I mean, Aoyama is justifiable as well as Uraraka, Kirishima, Iida and Yaoyorozu

The rest are like they're in the background and suddenly in the last arc everyone perfectly understands the protagonist and his motivations, when at most they interacted with him at USJ, it feels like Hori read "Class 1-A as a Family" in AO3 and continued the story from there.

Bakugo has continuity and importance until he is kidnapped and from there he seems like an extra character (because he has no evolution, the mini-endeavour of the group)

Horikoshi, you should have made AFO take out his quirk, because seriously, it is incomprehensible what he is doing here

wtf?

shipping renkaza fucking sucks because you either get people who hate real enemies to lovers and call it toxic or pr*ship because they actually are enemies who want to kill each other instead of friends who bicker sometimes (these people are the weakest link and will not survive the winter)

or you get people who do ship it but only in the gooner dumbing-it-down-to-hardcore-porn way where they romanticize and get off to abuse and r*pe (these people are just gross sick individuals and i hope they go extinct)

and the few people who do see the emotional depth in the homoerotic minutes renkaza spent together and the potential in that for top tier doomed yaoi are few and far in between and i rarely find good fics that aren't just insanely ooc porn

My friend is celebrating his birthday today. A few days ago, I asked him to suggest something for me to draw for him, and he requested a drawing of Shinobu. This is definitely the most beautiful drawing I've ever made

Did you ever share your thoughts on Shoji and his mini arc with Spinner? What were your thoughts on how that was handled when it came to quirk discrimination?

I'm not sure I did, but I think it was really badly done. Hori should never touch a plotline that parallels with complex IRL problems like racial discrimination without much more research and sensitivity.

To say that discrimination will end if the victims keep turning the other cheek and strive to become cool based on the oppressor's standards is just an absurd way to "solve" discrimination.

Also, the ending where Shoji travelled the country and got awards somehow stopped discrimination was laughable. Look at any minority in the world - racial, sexual, disabilities, whatever - having a celebrity can be helpful of course, but will never solve the overall issue without proactive policies that bring real change over time.

(and I liked Shoji and was looking forward to his highlight, but the plotline was way too halfbaked).

My thoughts on Shinsou

So about Shinsou: The first thing we see Shinsou do is talk down to 1-A and talking about how he wants to be in the hero course. I was expecting him to therefore be someone who tries really hard despite everything to be a hero.

Unfortunately as seen in his fight with Midoriya he is nothing like that. Shinsou talks shit to Midoriya about quirks and discrimination but when Midoriya breaks free of the mind control, he wins easily. Someone who wants to be a hero should definitely be able to throw a punch or dodge. Instead he instantly loses. This scene proves to me that he isn't hero material at all. Not to mention the fact that he was talking to Midoriya of all people about being looked down upon because of his quirk.

Midoriya is someone who has faced far more quirk based adversity than Shinsou and this scene felt like it was setting up for a moment between the two boys (or at least some kind of comparison or parallel).

One of Shouji's main things is that people find him scary so he wears a mask. He has clearly been seen as a villain but he's not an asshole like Shinsou is.

At this point Shinsou seems like a perfect rival for Midoriya. They both have quirk related issues, they both want to be heroes, and they both have reasons to interact. Midoriya because he wants to help Shinsou like he did Todoroki and Shinsou because he clearly likes to tell people he wants to beat them.

Shinsou very clearly could have, and should have been everything Bakugou is. And unlike Bakugou he doesn't have 12 years of abusive history to slow him down. Instead Horikoshi rarely brings him up and fans fawn over him despite the fact he's just a loser jerk.

Canon Shinsou has nothing redeeming about him and hasn't improved one bit. Aizawa favours him and gives him special treatment and never seems to berate him for verbally abusing both Midoriya and Ojiro (who he called a monkey). At least in the lightnovels we see him feel remorse for what he said to Ojiro (but not for Midoriya).

At the very least his hero motivation could be to uplift those with so called villain quirks but even his hero motivation seems to be non-existent. All in all Shinsou had so much opportunity to be an interesting character but instead his lack of character development paints him as nothing but a jerk and a bully, proving once again that Horikoshi hates all character development.

Maybe he would have had the time to improve his character if a certain someone (Bakugou) didn't take up most of the character time.

My somewhat final thoughts of My Hero Academia

Note: Now that MHA is now doing an epilogue and is ending soon, I might as well give my final thoughts about this series. I’ll probably continue to talk more about it after the series is officially over but I’m not going to do a full fledged hour long review because I have better things to do.

This is a generic shonen empowerment fantasy that managed to screw its own theme and message. Any good will I would’ve given to series at the beginning is completely irrelevant as it when on. The morals and themes are constantly changing to throw random s**t on a sheet of paper that either doesn’t make sense, contradicts what being shown on screen, or if it doesn’t fits the tone of the story. My hero is not a deconstruction of the shonen genre that does anything new that would make it stand out. Most of the ideas and plot points created either have horrible execution, given no amount of attention where they’re just ignored or just have horrible payoffs. It follows all the exact same tropes seen in every other series and makes them worse. It also gets to the point where it rips off Naruto and makes the same mistakes it did. The amount of plot twists that are excused as some kind of subversion are obnoxious and predictable where’s it gets incredibly annoying. The world building is horrendous and just makes the story feel small for a world that has a life changing impact. The power scale doesn’t always make sense and it does nothing but act as a way to reward characters that didn’t earn it.

It has a dangerous and horrible message for victims of abuse and bullying. My hero has no problem telling the audience that if you’re a victim of any kind of abuse, it’s your problem and you should just act like it’s not a big issue. Apparently it’s ok lie to your friends, family and colleagues that you can trust but it’s not ok to lie or even hold accountable to your abuser. And no matter if he/she has a reason for the way they are, you are always in the wrong and you should spend your sad life praising and benefiting them.

There exists way too many characters for the audience to be invested in and after watching them for several arcs, they are just stereotypes with nothing new or original about them. Many of them come across as either being stupid, annoying, useless, unlikeable, petty, ignorant or just both. Some characters will either exist to benefit others or just highjack the story, ruining every other character’s chance to get any sort spotlight. The series is way too reliant on putting focus on unpleasant and uninteresting characters to please its large audience. The humor is way too reliant on a character’s personality trait. No matter what they do, the story expects us to automatically like them regardless of how horrible and selfish their actions are. Izuku may not be the worst character, but he’s no where near as great as everyone hypes him up to be. Bakugo is an unbearable mess of a character that serves no real purpose in the story and exists to take away every characters chance of development. His development is one of the laziest and obnoxious parts I have ever seen in any story and yet he’s the most popular sadist in the show with no sort of reason or sympathy for me to like him. Any criticism given to this d**khead is automatically shot down and people like me get harassed and called a brain dead immature f*g for stating our opinion.

Aside from Twice and Gentle/ La Brava, these villains are not that interesting and what ever traits about them gave them something to do is absence. Shigaraki is the stories biggest wasted potential that went from being an idiot to being an incompetent idiot to benefit my left nutsack. Toga is a Mary Stu who went from being a sad and annoying character to an annoying and self centered bitch who complains after being told her actions are wrong. Dabi is just a Gary Stu who’s only interested in wanting to kill his dad. Spinner is a joke that is constantly scammed by his creator.

The only saving grace I can give to this series is the art style of the manga and some parts of the Todoroki family drama. I can even say that Horikoshi’s art style and how he designs characters and panel designs inspired me as an artist. The anime as a whole is fine but it’s not perfect, but that’s mostly because it doesn’t do a whole lot of creatively/artistic things to make it on par with the most popular anime series. As an artist, I would recommend my hero as a reference to use to improve your work. If you just want to read or watch a series that has fights that just make you feel some kind of emotion, then you might get something out of this series. It’s not even the absolute worst thing I’ve seen; I’ve seen much worse in other genres other than shonen manga. It’s just rare to find a badly written series without being surrounded by d**kriders. It’s just a disaster of a series, and I wished I spent my time during the pandemic watching another series like Demon Slayer, or Black Clover.
