Playing off the current trend of Ba Sing Se residents being absolutely mindblown that Lee the nice-if-grumpy young man from the tea shop is now Fire Lord, I present another headcanon:
They don’t think that Lee was secretly Prince Zuko this whole time. They genuinely believe that the Fire Nation straight up made a Worthy Tea Shop Waiter the next Fire Lord. After all, they’ve had such poor luck with their last three Fire Lords, it might be better to pull their next Fire Lord from the common ranks instead, someone who has absolutely no ties to the Fire Nation, and really, who better than someone who has literally served the people before?
“No, no,” an exasperated Zuko tries to explain to well-wishers that he knew from when he lived in the Lower Ring. “I really was Prince Zuko back then. I was just in hiding from my family.”
Sure, they say, humoring him, but they all know that it’s just a line he has to say because that’s how the Fire Nation is justifying their choice and legitimizing his rule, that he really was the long-lost exiled Prince of the Fire Nation. Could you imagine, though? A prince? Working in customer service? In the food industry? A spoiled little silver-spoon brat like that wouldn’t have lasted even a day as a tea shop waiter, let alone handle all those Kah-Rens with such aplomb as their Lee did.
Zuko eventually gives up, and whenever he visits the Jasmine Dragon and dons the waiter’s apron henceforth, he just lets the patrons welcome him “home.”
Yes he do
Happy Valentine's day guys here's some knuxouge
Some Conductor!Toshinori warmup sketches from my Musician AU.
In this AU, the shadows on All Might's face are from the harsh stage lights he uses during his performances. All Might is considered one of the greatest composers in Japan (if not in the world), but after medical issues caused an inability to play/conduct, he started performing less and less, at shorter and shorter concerts. His final performance was a song he composed called "Final Act," which he performed in response to the piece "Death Of A Symbol" composed by All For One.
Every now and then I need to remind myself of this. We all can be that other person.
He’s the funniest guy ever
I’m pretty sure they never show in the anime how they got to class?? But I love the idea that Denki used to show up to UA in his skateboard before they stayed at the dorms, also idk I feel like Bakugo it’s his dad’s baby and he used to take him to class when he wasn’t busy like PLEASE
"You'll have to be faster than that, kid."
I know the only scenes we see of Gran Torino training All Might are just Torino kicking the crap out of Toshi, making him scared shitless of Torino as an adult, but I really like to think that they goofed off a little too before Nana's death. This hc created the idea of one of Torino's training activities being a really intense game of tag around the city.
close ups below the cut :)
i really need to work on my backgrounds 😔😔😔 drawing the city almost put me in an early grave i swear
FINALLY YES THANK YOU
also COMPLETELY unrelated but when people talk abt stuff like quirkless vigilante izuku and whether toshi would be for or against it (generally they paint him as against it because it's usually an all might bashing dadzawa fic COUGHS who said that) i feel like people miss the obvious
girl he WAS that quirkless vigilante. anything he'd say about that would come from a place of having tried to BE that quirkless vigilante at FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. not get into ua. not get mentored. toshi's goal was to STOP CRIME with a LEAD PIPE and NO QUIRK
don't ever tell me that he'd be a big meanie who hates the quirkless and the idea of quirkless heroes/vigilantes ever again. get the fuck out of my house. if he's saying something against it thats because he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt!!! he had to get bailed out by nana!!! like!!! use your fucking brain im begging
middle school deku makes a friend
