he hyperfixated on heroes, researching and looking into their strategies in fights and what their strengths and weaknesses were. probably frequented hero rankings and started arguments in comments
when he was younger he was super into dogs because of mon. it was his idea to get mon-chan so he did a lot of research and went on spiels daily about different dog breeds to his mum and hana
whenever kurogiri would show a little interest in one of his games he would ramble ENDLESSLY. talking about what game is was, what characters were his fav and why, strategies to win and possible cheats or shortcuts he had read about or figured out himself. he would infodump so much about whatever game he was playing, and kurogiri would always listen.
tomura struggled when the others first joined the league. he didn’t know how to talk to them at all. he’d miss hints from others or little social queues that they thought were obvious. but tomura would also notice tiny details that even they didn’t know. like little habits they picked up when in conversations or meetings.
tomuras scratching isn’t always because of the “need to destroy” like afo had tried to make him believe. he used it as a way to stim when he would think up strategies and solutions as well as just keep his hands busy.
he has a really bad attention span. he has to have multiple things going at once to keep his mind busy because otherwise he’ll cycle through 3 different activities and that annoys him.
tomura is a chronic snacker and as much as kurogiri tried to give him a routine to keep his nutrition up tomura just couldn’t stick to it.
he’s also chronically nauseous. from either lack of food or eating too much at once or from being nervous about something he always feels a little sick
he’s also always sleepy.
he doesn’t like eye contact. unless he’s the one initiating it. afo had tried to train it into him that eye contact was a good tool to have, so he’d always force tomura to maintain eye contact during whatever afo dragged him into whether it be lectures or monologues afo would always try make sure tomuras eye contact was consistent. when afo was locked away however tomura dropped the habit super quick. he hates holding eye contact and usually only does it if 1. it’s someone he tolerated talking to (like spinner) or 2. he’s using it as a way to gain leverage in a situation.

Idk there's something really sweet to me about fix-it writers. Like, me and you- maybe we couldnt make it this time, but in another universe, a million people saw the pain of our story and are writing us a happy ending, giving us the chance we never had
HATE when someone creates a character that's 'doomed by the narrative' because. What. Dude YOU are the writer this is YOUR story can't you just like. Fucking change it

26 for the gummy worm
26) What's something the character has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?
I cannot get over him hitting pause on the fight with Star and Stripe to wonder if her quirk could bring his dog back to life.
thanks for the ask!

The park flashback/scene where Tenko plays with Mikkun and Tomo-chan in Chapter 418 first takes place in early afternoon, as evidenced by the clock reading almost 2:00 PM.
The art in the scene confirms this: clear bright skies, and the shadows under the children are short.
However, the time in the scene changes after Mikkun and Tomo-chan tells Tenko he should be All Might (the moment Tenko decides he wants to be a Hero, as he tells his mom in Chapter 235). Suddenly it's evening: the clock shows 6:13 PM, and the sky darkening because it's nearing sunset.
When Shigaraki/Tenko thinks of the League, he and the League (and Deku) all have long shadows, the kind you see when the sun is low in the sky.

The context:
Sunset is the time to go home. Children who have been playing outside, in playgrounds, at the park, are supposed to go home, to get back in time for dinner, back to their families.
In Japan, many cities and towns have a bell/chime/song that plays from public loudspeakers at around 5:00 PM. It's a daily test of an emergency broadcast system, but it has also come to be seen as the evening bell, a 'go home' signal, especially for children, telling them to go home before it gets dark.
In manga and anime, all these elements have become common imagery and symbolism, associated with each other: red-orangey colors, sunset, long shadows, the chime, children saying goodbye to their playmates for the day, the idea of home and return.
(from Mushishi)

Putting it all together:
When the park scene first shows up, it's Tenko memory of playing with Mikkun and Tomo-chan, likely exactly how it had occurred in real life: it's early afternoon, the sun is shining bright, their shadows are short, they're at the park, they're playing Heroes, and when the kids tell Tenko that he should be All Might, Tenko is overjoyed.
But this isn't the scene 15-16 years ago; this is a memory. Tenko is also Shigaraki here. He has just had his core pried open by Deku, and given relief. The Crying Child has been symbolically saved, but the past, the massacre, the Walk still all happened.
So it's suddenly 6:13 PM, it's sunset now, because it's way past proper time (5:00 PM) to go home - because Shigaraki/Tenko can't go home to the Shimura house. It's too late. It's been long over.
Shigaraki/Tenko then looks away from Mikkun and Tomo-chan, to the side, and say, 'Nah' to their suggestion, because besides it being late, he also no longer wants to be All Might. He's deciding he's a Villain, he still holds malice and he still destroys.
So, the scene changes again to contains the League now, all six of them (plus Deku). They exist in this sunset time, hence their long shadows. They exist with current Shigaraki/Tenko, they exist in the now - and arguably, the League would be the home he would return to at sunset.
-
Up to interpretation, of course, but the sunset/going home context is real.
Japanese tweets about it (translated):
[When Tenko got the words he wanted, his eyes lit up, but it was past time to go home so I'm guessing that means "it's too late."]
[It is just heartening that the League members are the place where Tomura would return to when it was "time to go home." I'm sobbing]
[In the scene where Tenko is at the park, the clock is already past 6:00 PM, the time when good kids go home, so if he had met Deku a little earlier, Deku might have been able to stop him, but this seems to show that they're past that stage now, which is good.]
