Hi...if you don't mind, can I ask something from BNHA? What do you think are Toga and Uraraka’s greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic? Since what moment that you start shipping them? Sorry if you've answered these questions before.....
Hellooo dnana!! I don't mind getting questions, so don't be shy!!!
one thing i've always loved about uraraka is her willingness to help others and also her empathy. she would never hesitate to help anyone, no matter who it was. i also really liked her backstory, and how she was fighting so that her parents wouldn't have to worry about money in the future. it's something admirable.
which is something funny cause to me, one of her weak points is precisely her empathy and your need to help others. she's always thinking about others, doing everything for the others and this becomes a problem when she ends up not thinking about herself. It is very noticeable how much she avoids talking about her feelings, this becomes more visible when toga dies and she goes to cry on the terrace alone, without asking anyone for help how to deal with all this pain.
her need to help others can end up becoming a bad thing when she realizes that she often cannot help others all the time, which ends up becoming frustrating for her and she blames herself for not being able to help even though she does everything she can. and when I say help others, I mean both ways: saving their lives or trying to help them in small things
Now, talking about toga: she's been one of my favorite characters for a long time, I liked how she expressed herself and how she didn't hate heroes at all (at the beginning of the anime). and I love how little by little we saw more of her backstory and understood why she acted that way, because until then many people considered her a "crazy psychopath yandere"
one great thing about toga is simply the fact that she loves, and that's it. I think it's beautiful how she loves everyone who has blood running through their veins, and as if it were her way of saying that everyone can be loved, including her. she's not afraid to express her love and to say that she loves someone (even if it is in her own way). also she was not afraid to try to be herself, even when her parents and old school friends told her she was weird and a demon. It may not have been the "right way", but she tried, she wanted a world where she and her friends from the league of villains could smile. and i think that's beautiful after all.
and her weak point is: not facing the past
toga avoids her past, avoids talking about what happened because it is something sad and scary. this becomes a mistake when we realize that not talking about what happened in the past can influence the present.
In the final arc, before she dies, she finally faces the demons of her past with ochako, and we realize that there is still a lot of stuff stored away, especially hurt. we finally managed to understand that she's not a bad person, she was just lost and wanted to find someone who understood her. and that she never wanted to hurt someone and steal their blood, she wanted to ask but knew that if she did, they would call her a demon.
I've been shipping them since 2019 (when I started MHA) and i just loved the hero x villain dynamic, it was something cool for me. as the story progressed, I started to like how toga seemed to genuinely like ochako (more than she apparently liked deku) and how uraraka seemed curious about toga, and that she wasn't really afraid of her (which later turned out to be canon)
this shipp is something sweet to me, how ochako sought to know about toga and how she didn't give up until the end. and how toga was so hurt but allowed herself to open up to ohacko and talk about what happened. I'm sure if they had a chance... things would have been different.
Can we talk about how cute this is???
(Hello Kitty + the lil planet thingy = awwwww)
i will call this one "Brazilian Birthday"
HEHEHE THANK YOUUUUU (and yup it's gonna be here today so just you wait guys 💪)
I missed drawing snakes and Himiko so much
high tech toga world domination guys
Ahem
Okay guys I need yer help choosing the palette for this work I'm so confused like I'd eat them all
TOGACHAKO REDESIGNS KINDA!!!!!
these were so fun teehee the faces look a lil weird cause i wasnt focused on them lol ANYWAY list of changes/things i added! Himiko has pointy ears cause i thought that was fun :D i tried to make Himiko made up of a lot of sharpness and triangles, and Ochako lots roundness and circles and hearts. i love shape language!!! Himiko has stronger looking legs cause the majority of her fighting style to me is running around being fast. and then Ochako is buff all over cause of training. you cant see it in this cause i didn't draw their mouths open but Ochako has a tooth gap and Himiko's fangs are sharper and bigger and freakier!! i gave Himiko a bunch of moles, and Ochako a bunch of freckles (if i draw Izuku i'd give him even more teehee) Himiko has big eyebags (as always) but i gave Ochako small ones. (they get bigger during her fight with Himiko and after Himiko dies) Himiko is taller than Ochako, except when Ochako is in her hero costume where her boots make them the same height. i made it so Himiko's villain accessories are red, because she spray-painted it all red (like blood) to be cuter!! and i changed her shoes to big chunky sneakers because i think thats cute, and i gave her shorter messier socks the same colour as her cardigan :D i redesigned a few things on Ochako's costume; put hearts like everywhere as little details, changed the line on her crotch(??) to a heart design on her belly button (thats where Himiko holds the all might keychain while shes giving Ochako blood <3 ) and i made her overall costume a little looser.
but anyway this will (hopefully!) be how i draw them from now on!!! i will without a doubt forget details like their freckles and moles but ill do my best :) HOPE YOU LIKE THESE!!!
Someday, after 10 years, I'll finish the whole Himiko tarot deck, print the cards and do togachako readings for you guys, just you wait and see
I may have some ways of coping and Himiko speaks to me somewhat darker than usual
8 of swords is about feeling trapped and robbed of freedom
It's also about feeling abandoned and cold, lonely and confused, like a cornered animal
"Let the birds of my soul fly freely at last..."
And yeah this one is the pic I was talking about in this post. It makes so much more sense now
part 3/x
other cards:
Three of cups
Four of cups
Don't worry guys I'm not dead or insane I'm gonna return with some Himiko art when I make sure I won't cough out my bronchi ✌
DAMMMMMM HEY GUYS

BUT I NEED TO DUMP MY NEW SONA ART SOMEWHERE OKAY
I'll just leave it here
🤲
Nice to meet you ig??? If you associated me with just himiko you can associate me with this silly imp yay...
I may or may not have been obsessed with her design and it's so personal like I literally gave her my pjs and it's so symbolic and I'll scream here a bit
AAAAAAAAAAA
if you wanted to make fanart for me (I doubt it but just in case) she's yours to work with I guess
Lmao
I'm soooooo embarrassed grrrrrrr
I finally made it to start togachako week yay
(I'm gonna do it forever but who cares)
Day 1: timeskip
And I was so confused that ppl choosing this one never draw the real old women yuri
Himiko has been suffering anemia since the Final Battle, and this condition turned a lot worse as she aged up, so she regularly visits the hospital to check her state and connect her to IV if the stats are disturbing
Of course Ochako always pays for the best private treatment there is, brings her wife flowers and books every day and honestly tries not to panic too much and fails spectacularly every time (Himiko still finds it cute)
