art dump of my pookie........ ohboy
I was doing some research on the attitude towards tattoos in Japan for ADKoT and I have expanded on a fic idea.
You remember my fic idea list for TWoT? Number 7 was: A modern AU where AFO has been secretly scaring off all of Yoichi's boyfriends. It's actually pretty easy as even without his quirk, he's still terrifying. Then one day, Yoichi brings a certain spiky-haired man home, and not only does he look like the rebel bad boy from every father's nightmare (very different from the previous nerdy cowards Yoichi's dated before), but none of his previous tricks can drive him off.
Well, the attitude towards tattoos in Japan is basically: "Hey, that guy has a tattoo" "He's in the Yakuza." This attitude is starting to change in the modern era, but these things take time.
Anyway, imagine if Second had tattoos and stuff, and AFO thinks he's in the yakuza and freaks out because he's actually the BOSS of a yakuza group and is worried Second will rat him out to his brother, who has no idea of about AFO's criminal business.
Second is not in the yakuza, he just got tattoos because A. He thought they looked cool and B. Third is a tattoo artist and he wanted to support his best friend's business. Really, he's just a rebel on a motorcycle with a heart of gold and secret soft side, which is why Yoichi fell in love with him.
But AFO doesn't know this. Cue shenanigans as he tries to prove that Second is in the yakuza without exposing himself as the boss of one.
Dude, I have too many unpublished DBZ sketches.
Some are already two or three years old.
All For One is obsessed with Abilities and taking them. Like a toddler, he's interested in things that are straight-forward, without much effort on his part. We see this when he spares Best Jeanist and his Quirk.
When he finds Quirks he's interested in, he wants them. Like when he "couldn't help" taking Ragdoll's Search. Below are just some examples of AFO wanting Quirks, and being fascinated by them
All for One has this interest in Quirks and taking them because that's the nature of his Quirk. You know who else was like this?
Himiko Toga.
All For One, like Himiko Toga, is driven by desires caused by the nature of his Quirk. They:
● are consumed and driven by desires and interests caused by their Quirks (stealing quirks VS blood)
● have yandere tendencies (AFO is possessive, Toga stabs for blood, yet sees blood as a form of love)
● both want something vital to a person (Quirks VS blood)
All For One's Quirk both gives and takes. But he's more focused on the taking part of it. He wants Quirks for himself. The nature of his Quirk naturally makes him want to possess things, and he literally names it "All For One". All For One person, instead of One For All.
If he focused on giving, history would've been different. But he was born with his Quirk, and as a baby, he's going to be self-centered and only seek for himself, his own convenience, and the world only exists exactly as he views it. That's just how babies are.
That self-centeredness would've combined with his Quirk's desires, evolving the "take" portion of his Quirk to something that drives him.
Himiko Toga, like other kids, likely awakened her Quirk when she was five. That would be why her parents only expressed shock in her like for blood when it showed with the bird; she was a kid at the time, and it was likely their first glimpse of the nature and effect of her Quirk.
All For One had his Quirk at birth. Toga got hers later, and thus would've had time to learn about the world first. Toga didn't completely fuse her Quirk with a baby's natural "I want and need", but there's enough self-centered awareness as a child to still want first.
I want to bring attention to these panels because they're definitely related. Look at the parallels of All For One and Toga.
Toga, after a talk about why and how she loves, because blood is so fascinating,
And Yoichi talking about his brother's way of using his power,
All For One could take, but he could also give. And yet, right before Yoichi narrates this, rather than something like Toga realizes,
All For One's first thought was he had to steal Yoichi back.
Like Toga before having a girls' talk with Ochako, both were only interested in taking for themselves. Giving never crossed their minds.
All For One only gave Quirks to make sure people stayed on his side. So he had pawns.
All For One's obsession with Quirks, and having possessions, only makes Yoichi [One For All] even more attractive: he's both a Quirk, and All For One's "first possession in this world".
All For One is basically like Himiko Toga pre-Ochako-talk, but never learned. He died because he got too greedy to win against Bakugo, but Toga died because she decided to give her everything to save the object of her affection.
(Idk if Toga actually is dead, but that's the current assumption after she says she'll give Ochako all her blood to save her)
All For One and Toga are foils to each other. Goodnight.

Okey, todo muy bien, pero imagínate que el difunto también te acompañe a evitar que el amor de tu vida se casé con otro, además de que el difunto era alguien famoso.
Así que a cada rato los interrumpen en su camino a evitar la boda con gritos de incredulidad, retrasando la cosa.
Y todo el mundo se vuelve loco al darse cuenta de que el tipo está vivo.
Por qué había muerto en televisión y todos lo habían visto.
Ahora tienen que esconderse.
You rush into a church to stop the love of your life from marrying the wrong person. Not paying attention you barge in yelling "I OBJECT" only to realize it's a funeral. The deceased immediately rises in perfect health. All eyes turn to you.
i have a headcanon that Yoichi trims AFO's hair because i can't help but compare AFO's nicely trimmed hair to Yoichi's and i thought someone had to have cut AFO's hair for him and it is only logical for me to assume it was Yoichi who did. I think AFO would only trust Yoichi to be so close to him with a sharp object like a pair of scissors lol
I think Yoichi would have also liked cutting his brother's hair at first, because it would make him feel helpful in a way? And I just think even when AFO put him in the vault, AFO would still go there to get his hair trimmed by Yoichi.
and once Yoichi joins the resistance, he offers to do this for Kudo as well.
“the moment you reached your hand out to me was when one for all was truly born” not one for all being yoichi and kudous secret love child
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, DIOS MÍO, CUANTO AMO ESTÉ SHIPP.
kudou and yoichi are the tragic old man yaoi EVER
what do you MEAN kudou could have and should have killed yoichi but instead saved him when the rest of the world turned their backs on him
what do you MEAN they were only together for two months before All for One murdered Yoichi in front of Kudou's eyes?
what do you MEAN that their connection created One for All - the literal embodiment of hope for generations to come?
what do you MEAN that when Kudou died his essense lived on in the space he created for and because of Yoichi?
what do you MEAN that, even after death, they could be together again?
what do you MEAN that their love LITERALLY SAVES THE WORLD
America believes itself to be the last nation standing after a global disaster. What they do not realize, is that the global disaster was much more isolated than they were lead to believe, because it was a hoax to keep Americans away from the rest of the world.
