I didn't think Katsuma sound a bit similar to Katsuki, at least in romaji because their kanji names are nothing alike. But isn't a problem for me because Katsuma is a pretty name, and in my story she has a personal reason to keep that name even after transition.
And yes, she has her canon cell activation quirk which can be used for heal, BUT Katsuma in this story also had a quirk awakening that developed a "cell degradation" side which allows her to use her quirk for the opposite effect, so instead of heal cells she can also kill them or create necrosis.

I do like your idea of Muscular not telling anyone that he lose to Izumi, I guess he also had a bit of fragile ego there but it's funny how even in canon Goto new obssesion with Midoriya after being defeated seems less like "I want my revenge by killing you" and more like "I never had so much fun in my life, please Midoriya let's fight forever!"
I honestly wish Horikoshi played a bit more with Muscular than just get rid of him inmediately after bring him back. His dynamic with Midoriya is strangely fun and flow very well, and it's fun to think Goto actually adores Izuku/Izumi as the person he can always give him and exciting fight, rather than just want to kill him/her like Shigaraki wants.
I hope your idea of this little society between Izumi and Chisaki leads to them facing Re-Destro together, as I always needed that sweet ideological battle of him and Overhaul.
I'm not even the biggest fan of Dabi in terms of looks, but always found very weird how the anime constantly makes him look way more defined and with bigger muscles than he has in the manga.
Isn't a bit contradictory for his character to look super ripped? Horikoshi clearly drawn Dabi in that specific way because the story makes emphasis on his body being more frail due having a weak constitution, also contrasting him to the rest of mens in the family who got the big and strong constitution of Enji, Natsuo especially. The anime just lose all the meaning behind that.
And this is more of a personal preference but I find Dabi's body in the manga to look much more attractive and less generic than in the anime. Skinny guys can look attractive as well.
Hi @nyc3
Thanks for the ask bc it's so fitting as I was thinking about how the fandom sees dabi and mr. Possum.
Let me start with this. Have you seen how in the Tumblr the tags of dabi x reader and shig x reader there a HUGE contrast in quality? Shig is depicted as a creepy and weirdo incel while Dabi IS "I'LL STEAL YOUR WIFE😏"
now on a controversial take. I do like the idea of dabi losing his scars. Why? Would increase his quality of life...I find odd how everyone in LoV accepts Dr. Evil's word and never try to take a second opinion. Also, without the scars Dabi would look way more like Endy making his claim be more powerful.
(not a fan of erasing Shig's scars nor the "crusty" jokes. Shig is handsome with his scars)
Now onto your ask: I think Bones just like to make characters hot in a conventional way, JJK men got to be hotter than the manga. But I do notice how bones lacks in translate the manga to anime. Some of the scenes of the manga were done so dirty.
Dabi became hotter aka buffer bc of this. Btw, many dabi x reader like to make the reader have a healing quirk (it should be a trope by now) just so it can heal dabi...which no one account that dabi IS self destructive, a healing quirk is nice but he would do again...unless he changes his mindset (I'm trying to explore this in my fic called besties)
Ask yourself: did shig NEEDED to be buffaraki? Was afo the quirk really need you to be buff?
(was necessary for Izu to gain muscles? Maybe, maybe not)
So to answer: Dabi is attractive in any shape. His writing trumps over shig any day even if shig IS more attractive than Dabi.
That's the magic of MHA secundary characters, they're blanks ready to be filled by our own ideas.
Sadly no, we never got an official name for the Cider House members not even the leader himself despite his dope looking design and cool quirk. He really got a lot of style and good presentation for a minor villain used to glaze Shoto.
Mustard is really a case on his own. He got all the basis for being a fascinating character, yet he appears even less than Cider House leader ironically. He doesn't have a name either.
So chapter 1 is already beta, and now my beta reader is helping me with chapter 2. This weekend will post the fic
I have a question...What you think Cinder does when he´s on, hum, let´s say off days?
Cool, I'm excited to read the final version.
So about Cider hobbies, I did mention some times that he's a surfer but that doesn't limit to the sea. After all he uses his quirk to surf in land as well.
Can we call his activity urban surfing? Pretty sure he's one of the few people who can pull off such sport lol.
I can imagine him going with his friends or solo to a derelic industrial complex or a scenario like that, a place with a lot of obstacles were practice his style for fun and training at the same time.
He's also a very good graffiti artist who likes to leave his own mark in a lot of places. Very standar for a gang to do so, but Cider likes a bit more of personality for his own graffiti.
He probably has an artistic side even if he doesn't realize that. And most likely Cider is the kind of guy who consume mangas more because of the pretty art than the story itself lol.
Midoriya probably was surprised they share a common interest on some geek stuff. I can see them having lazy days of just chill and cuddling, both reading mangas of different genres with some music in the background and making comments here and there about the story and characters.
But Chisaki needs a maternal figure in his life as well... and considering I ship OverHawks very hard is funny imagine Nagant reaction when she see his successor and the yakuza she rescued together. She would be like "The world sure is tiny".
Outside of that she taking care of Kai shows how her primary instincs of being a protective figure are still there, which could also extent to other characters.
...
Kind of funny how Shoto with a double effect quirk is seen as some kind of miracle and god among mens, yet when Midoriya starts unlocking quirks every month people is like "oh yeah whatever".
I think that's just Horikoshi making everyone act like an idiot only for the reveal of OFA being a thing look like a big surprise, but that only makes the characters seem stupid. And there's this recurrent joke among the fandom of how the photographer dude from S4 discovered Midoriya secret after spend a few hours with him, but his friends just give his power for granted.
Cider is way smarter than them. He would notice something isn't very normal about a person with so many powers, but that also would fascinate him and what to know more, because it is a cool thing to have.
His line "I'm a man who lives for the thrill" lives in my mind now. Rent free. He is a bold but smart man.
I was wondering...what it he goes to steal smth in UA? Not sure on what he could steal but hey why not? That would be a huge blow to their egos.
Plot twist. Izumi beats him first and she is the one to invade UA and stole SMTH - it was crucial for her plans- BK tried to downplayed so hard but hates how everyone is impressed.
No idea of what he would steal, but if he and Izu converge the same day with the same plan of steal some shit and they're like "wtf are you doing here?".
They almost start fighting but then Bakugou appears and tries to capture them screaming "Die!" as usual, but then Izu and Cider join forces and humilliate BK in public in the U.A grounds. A hard hit for his ego.
That would be also a moment for fall into a spiral of love and horniness for our thiefs.
Cloud boy
It was kind of a cheap explanation to justify the fact AFO and Yoichi look nothing alike. I mean even when non identical twins are far more common than identical ones, the nutrients thing still is a very dumb excuse.
Kudo not being Bakugou ancestor is another cheap attempt of plot twist or subvert expectations, just because Horikoshi can go with the whole "AFO is so mad at Kudo after 100 years that he projects his image in this random boy who looks like him". Is like a cheap imitation of the Yoriichi/Tanjiro dynamic with Muzan in Demon Slayer.
Funny how people call Nine to be emotionless, but he actually is a very passionate individual for his friends and ideals.
Shigaraki VA voiced Rui, a well written character I love. How ironic.
Canon possum is a joke but one thing I never forget is how decay IS powerful, sure a powerful quirk with an idiot is not a good thing in many fronts but...
Cinder (I'm loving him already) has to know a guy who can decay stuff with one touch even if he is an idiot.
Would cinder be worried about the quirk ?
Again, shig is an idiot and a bad leader and all that but one thing we can't deny is he knows how to fight.
So I think cinder would make a point to avoid him like the plague.
In canon Cider is the kind of person who knows he shouldn't bite off more than he can chew, since after all his plan during his debut was to steal during a very specific moment in which heroes aren't present, so is more reward without having to fight and less risk.
It was just a coincidence that A.M was there with Bakugou and Todoroki.
I guess his mentality also applies to fight dangerous villains, and the lov had some big names attached them. Their reputation probably was enough for Cider to not have his gang involved with such group of psychos.
But... I disagree on Shigaraki being a good fighter.
Maybe before all the bs power ups given by the doctor he at least knew how do surprise attacks and such, but Decay being such a one-dimensional quirk also means the user doesn't require a lot of skill to put it in use. It is basically just run towards the enemy and touch for instakill.
Which became even more braindead post awakening. Like even Overhaul has more room to be creative and need skill to put in use.
Decay is just a broken and boring quirk that requieres nothing to be effective. Crusty asshole somehow manages to be more plain than he already was at first, is like he evolves in reverse.
『Tiempo juntos』
Giyuu y Sabito pasan el tiempo uno al lado del otro. Durante las misiones cazando demonios, los descansos entre los pueblos en los que ayudan, las reuniones de Pilares y sus días libres en la Finca del Agua.
It's kinda weird, as the way that detail about the age is presented seem a bit important to be just a little discrepancy.
On a side note why in general there doesn't seem to be options for people to become heroes if they're past the high schooler age?
We know thanks to Vigilantes that isn't totally impossible became one later in life with how Koichi became one at the end (even if you can say he became a hero under USA terms not Japan).
Also isn't dumb how you only have one chance to take the exam and never again? And isn't just fail the exam what cut your hero aspirations, just not attend to the exam even by circumstances out of your control seem to be equally valid on the school eyes.
That's again how Koichi story begin, but loose the chance in one school means you don't have any chance in other different school? I don't remember if Vigilantes cover that detail, but using japanese real life education system as reference it might as well be equally unfair.
The narrative goes out of its way to hammer home the parallels between Gentle and Izuku. They both shared an impossible dream of heroism and personal acknowledgment, both coped with despair through extreme positivity, and both had to carry the weight of their parents' lack of faith in them. Both Inko and Gentle's mother's first appearances were the same: crying in self-pity because their children couldn't meet societal expectations. The burden was put on Izuku and Gentle to maintain hope on their own. (Inko did get better, but only after Izuku was given an opportunity Gentle never had)
But Gentle's backstory also shares a lot of parallels with Toga. A public incident occurred that harmed someone unintentionally, and their entirely family was targeted as a result. The unloving parents drawn without faces threw out their own school age children to escape scrutiny. Both Gentle and Toga seem to be from a similar upper middle class background given how their family homes were drawn. And both ended up seeking romantic connection after losing their family ties.
The fact Shindo made top 20 in the hero charts 8 years later and not a lot of the Class A guys including Uraraka make me proud of my boy.
Shindo really deserved it, so good for him.
But the new top 20 makes me wonder if Edgeshot quit being a hero as he's nowhere to be seen.
Seems to extreme that he being 4th descended so far. I wonder if his health was really so compromised that he wasn't able to fully recover.
I will miss you my dear ninja hero.
A friend of my said I was overthinking the scene, but please the whole thing is very sus for a character like Kai and considering Chrono's blind devotion... well that's enough for raise a few eyebrowns.
This is such a fun scene when you think about the context, cause is supposed to be from Chrono's perspective.
Chrono really think he can fool us and make us think Chisaki, a person with severe misophonia, would voluntarily enter in a cage fight shirtless AND without gloves?
Especially considering we have another the flashback of the same or a similar situation from Rappa's perspective and we clearly see Chisaki doesn't take off his clothes for "fight".
Is Chrono so thirsty for Kai that he unconsciously imagines him shirtless?
Well I can't blame you at all Hari... I do the same thing all the time.
Headcanons for YoDeku/DekuYo? How do they maintain their relationship, knowing that they are both in different schools?
Oh isn't easy to maintain a relationship when they live decently far from each other and assist to different schools, but that just make them put much more effort on make it work and appreciate more every bit of time they got to be together. Neither Midoriya or Shindo give up easily, so they will do their best until both are free of school and can work on the same agency or something.
So for the headcanon I have:
-I like the idea of them starting to know each other better during that training between U.A and Ketsubutsu that Ms.Joke proposed to Aizawa but finally never happened in canon despite he accepted (I wonder why Horikoshi cut that idea). Shindo give the proper thanks to Midoriya for save his life during the license program of course, something we didn't see.
-They would have a small battle in which Yo teases Izuku a lot, because Yo being Yo, and Izuku obviously will fall for that and he pays way too much attention to Shindo's costume which start getting distracting.
-Something isn't entirely my headcanon cause I see a lot of other YoDeku shippers do, is the idea of Shindo being the person who makes Midoriya start getting out of shell and feel more comfortable with himself. I love how YoDeku shippers unlike many others don't portray Midoriya a super shy and almost dumb person just to fit the "uke" stereotype, and instead Izuku can act like a normal teen around Yo and feel free to share his geek interest for example without being mocked for that.
-This one is indeed my own, and it's that in the canon timeline after the 2nd war when Midoriya is recovering in the hospital Yo rush to visit his bf (yes they're official at that point) and covers him in kisses, getting a good happy laugh from Izuku. Especially after Shindo starts kissing his cheek scars non stop.
-Yo also kiss the scar Izu have in the head and comments he totally loves Midoriya "new hairstyle". Izuku isn't totally convinced about this though, and while he doesn't say it louder he wonders if Yo is making fun of him for his hair.
-But then the day Izuku is leaving the hospital and is received by Shindo he gets shocked because... Yo shaved a side of his own head, the exact same Izuku got shaved.
-Shindo is all happy and joyful and he says "Did you think I was joking? Nah I totally love your look Zuku, and we still match ;)" (joke about them having the same hairstyle, and they will still match even post shave lol).
-Needless to say, Izuku almost pass out because how loved he felt for that.
-Btw Shindo uses "Zuku" as a cute bf nickname for Midoriya. Izuku meanwhile still tries to figure how call Shindo but he's not that good with nicknames, yet Yo makes clear that he loves when Izuku calls him "Yo-Kun".
-Another headcanon that is almost a cliche among YoDeku shippers is Yo using his vibration quirk to be the personal masajist of Izuku, who after so many damage to his muscles is going to need that sweet treatment more than ever. And of boy, he's blessed by that.
-But hey! Izuku can also uses his quirks for good and improve their relationship, cause (spicy bit ahead) Shindo really loves the power games and being restrained by Izuku using black whip when they got intimate, which belive me they do it everytime they can (they're really horny for each other).
-On time Midoriya also asked Shindo if he would like try using GearShift to go faster during sex. Yo loves experiment so obviously accepted, and the result was so good that it became obligatory everytime thay have sex.
-Eventually they also discovered the way to incorporate Fa-Jin and Float into the mix, with results beyond words lol.
...
I have many other headcanons, but these are some of the ones I can remember right know.
YoIzu is one of my favorite ships ever and it has crazy potential, sadly bkdks hate Shindo and our ship.
But hey they will never have the pride of Izuku carrying Shindo bride style twice lol.
His hair blowing by the wind...
Nine is too gorgeous.
