If Mustard Stayed Relevant, How Would You Characterize Him? I Mean Things Past His Baseline "pragmatic

"Incorrect" basically means what you said, that being ships that piss off the fun police of the fandom lol. For me there's no such thing a incorrect ships, is just fiction and people is free to enjoy whatever they want.

Anyway, I made a quick comparision between manga and anime design for Kokichi:

It's a subtle difference, but is funny how in the anime Mahito give him a 4 pack and small pecs while in the manga Muta is still a stick figure.

And what a work of art 😅 Kokichi looks hot as hell either form.

And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

Of course! And your own analysis on the ship it's really on point ☝️

They not only look delicious together, but the pair is surprisingly rich in themes and concepts despite their limited interactions. It even gives the chance to explore other angles for Mahito than most of his ships.

As you said this situation is clearly fucked up, and poor Kokichi might feel guilty because the first 'person' to give him the chance to experience such emotions and pleasure is Mahito. But given the chance it can also allow Kokichi to explore his own darkess desires.

I imagine something like he deeps inside would have a spin for being a bit rude to others due his own way to live all his life, but he could never do something like that to Miwa who is so sweet and pure that he would repress any kind of thinking about it.

But with Mahito? No problem!

All the opposite, Mahito would tell Kokichi during sex "Pull my hair" or "Harder!!!" so Muta can unleash all his repressed desires without any guilt about it.

Mahito may be ended up being adictive lol.

The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in.

Who knows? Maybe the first thing they could do together is take a bath in the nearest lake just being covered by the moonlight 😌 Mahito wanting to clean Kokichi of all the medical solutions and chemicals of his old bathtub, so he washes him kindly while Muta is a bit overwhelmed by all the sensations.

And thank you for take your time for answer! Glad you also liked this really obscure and unknown ship.

P.S: I also try to figure how the ship should be called. MechaHito? Is hard to came with a good name lol

Speaking of incorrect ships: there's a lot of Mahito/Junpei but not so much Mahito/Mechamaru, considering Muta is his other well know victim and they have that very sus scene in the bathtub.

Lol you have to love how the anime unlike the manga made Mahito give Kokichi a body with some nice muscle lines. Any reason in particular?

I think about this ship as some kind of "enemies with benefits" in which both can get something good from the other despite not like each other.

Kokichi never experience real pleasure obviously, and Mahito might as well have some kind of awakening after repair Muta's body. A kind of "usually I despise humans, but you're my creation and feel different somehow 😏" mentality on Mahito part.

So instead of fight to death, Mahito give Kokichi an offer of experience each others bodies and he ends up accepting but full of doubts. Inside he wants to live and reunite with his friends and gf, but if the strategy works he might get a good experience out of it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by incorrect ships, I'm guessing you're referring to the ships dubbed wrong-bad-wrong by the puritanical fandom goers because otherwise I don't subscribe to an idea of correct/incorrect ships. (This got rambly but I wasn't sure what you meant by it, and I'm genuinely perplexed)

But you've opened my eyes! I know that junpei/mahito is an obvious ship even though there's very few fic but I never even thought of mahito/kokichi. They are so delicious!

I haven't paid much attention to the changes in kokichi's muscles in the anime and manga when idle transfiguration gives him a body, so I'll take your word for it lol.

I absolutely LOVE the enemies with benefits thing you pointed out!! Idk if you can tell but I'm very excited about this ship. Firstly because it's something new to me, I never thought of them. So thank you for showing me the way, lol. And secondly because they are just so so soooo good together!! Kokichi striking that deal with kenjaku and mahito knowing what he is signing up for, and then getting his body and honestly that battle with mahito was a very tense watch. And a read! And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

I love that dynamic of being something because someone else shaped you into it and the mutual obsession rising from that. I absolutely adore mahito being obsessed with his creation. Something that he didn't distort and twist into something abhorrent, something that is whole. The first thing he created that didn't put misery out into the world. The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in. Zeroing in on the sensations and the pleasures that kokichi can feel for the first time. Feeling some kinda way about being the one who made it possible for him to feel them. It's all so goooood and fucked up. I love it.

Thank you so much for putting this on my radar! I'm going to be thinking of them for a long looooong time.

If you were to turn 9 and his squad into main series villains, how would you do so?

Tough question actually, because there's a lot of different things you can do with a group of characters like them.

And I don't want to make the classic "role swap" in which everything in the timeline is almost the same minus which characters fill X spot.

For Nine specifically, I would start his story right after Kamino and the defeat of AFO.

An idea I would like to play is he and Shigaraki could actually act as rivals of sorts when AFO is out of the picture (but he would still have a part on the story).

As both groups will start from the very bottom without much resources, and Nine will have his empty copy of the AFO quirk to fill with new quirks different than the canon, perhaps only keeping the more iconic ones as Hydra just because is so cool.

Actually the quest for find the ideal quirks and one that solves the cell degeneration would be an important part of Nine developement, rather than just happen offscreen.

As for what new quirks he could steal, that's not something I don't have very clear yet (so I accept suggestions) but one of them would be Dabi's blueflames. Lol I just want see Nine with epic blue flames.

...

Oh and an idea that always loved is that Nine needs another rival that isn't just Shigaraki, but someone else who is his direct opposite in terms of world view and ideology.

And that's no one else than Overhaul

Think about it, Nine and Kai are just the perfect foils for each other.

The concept of a quirk supremacist and an anti-quirk believer having a ideological (and literal) war for control the underworld and reform the world into their own view could be epic.

And for that to happen obviously we need to keep Kai as a recurring villain for most of the story. I would create a dynamic where a lot of villains groups will have internal battles while at the same time the heroes are another problem to deal.

But wait, you need soldiers for that to work.

And what best army for Nine than the one which literally believe in quirk supremacy?

Look I will die on the hill that MVA as a concept for an arc is literally made for Nine and his team.

The idea of Re-Destro wanting to contact a villain group that is getting more recognition and in the end they found common ground due beliefs fits way more with Nine than it does to Shigaraki.

I mean it's obvious, Nine is basically the living incarnation of all the ideals of the original Destro. If his descendant meet him he would instantly adore Nine.

...

So that's just a part of all my ideas.

I would like to better put them together into something more consistent. Need to work on it, perhaps some day I will make a story based on this rewrite idea.

Never read that story, but there's the movie "I Spit On Your Grave" which is basically glorification of revenge from a woman perspective. Or also arguably Shinobu story is also a revenge that the narrative puts in a good light, despite Shinobu has her problems.

Anyways I get the point you tried to make there.

Would be funny if all that bad marketing for U.A cause many parents to take their kids out of that school. Well at least if the parents are smarter in this AU than they're in canon (cause after so many assesination attemps how nobody question why they still send their childrens to a death trap?).

Mizunami would get hooked into Izu the first second he sees her, but a slow burn will be fun to read and see how the sexual tension between them growns.

He can totally take Compress, since he's not really anything special in terms in fight skills and as far we know he can't compress non solid objects, so a water user would ironically be a big problem especially since Cider is a medium to long range fighter. The fight would be quite easy to Muzunami, who will also hate the annoying "magician" act of Compress.

I really don't care about Momo, so whatever happens to her is fine for me.

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.

Fuck yeah, we're getting some content about Nine

I pray for getting his real name or something meaningful about him, but having anything at all will be good as well. Just imagine if we get new art of him... one can dream.

Also my baby Mizunami (Cider) made it too. We could also get some content for him hopefully.

I thinking about the shenanigans of Shindo and Cider 'fighting' over who claims Deku's love after the war (non serious promise, these two are just idiots in love for the same brocoli).

I bet their unofficial triple dates will go like this:

...

Shindo: Hey Zuku! I brought your favorite for the dinner (he ordered katsudon)

Deku: Yo that's so nice! (his eyes bright and his cheeks had a soft pink tone)

Cider: Izu! I rented the entire AM golden era movie compilation, we can have our movie night (he used Endeavor's credit car taken from Shoto to rent the movies).

Deku: Really?! Guys... you don't have to all this for me... (his blush intensifies)

Shindo and Cider feel their faces hot after that both exclaim "NO!!!" at the same time, promising Izuku they're happy to spend some good time with him. They proceed to eat the dinner, while Deku is totally ignorant of the small tension between his two 'friends'.

Later they're sitting on the couch with a movie playing on the tv, but aside of Izuku the others aren't really paying attention to the movies.

Shindo got an idea an he extend his arm over Izuku shoulder, getting him closer to his chest.

Yo: Great night don't you think? (ask to Izuku while giving Cider a smirk)

Deku: Oh... yes (a bit nervious because of being to close to Shindo's muscular chest)

Cider stars feeling angry but he looks at Shindo as if was saying "b*tch please" and then suddenly he drops his head on Deku's lap for the surprise of the others.

Cider: Izu can you pat my hair please? (he put big innocent puppy eyes)

Deku: Of course! (His smile is equally bright)

Izuku loves how fluffy and soft Cider hair is, as he press and tangles his fingers on the light blue locks for the pleasure of Cider.

Shindo was about to get annoyed, but he feels how Izuku started cuddle against his chest, as he wanted to stay as close as possible to the two boys he's secretly in love with.

Izuku is just so happy to have both of them for him that even he forgets about the movies to enjoy the warm and softness of Shindo and Cider.

The tension between them also goes away pretty quick, as in the end they just want their beloved Izuku to be happy.

...

P.S: Cider also shaved a side of his head for match hairstyles with Izuku. Yes these boys are that silly for their brocoli.

HELP THIS IS SO FUNNYKJSDJKSDKJ I think this might be the second throuple I get since Kirishhima, Kaminari and Sero, so shoutout to you!!!

I love the idea of them "fighting" for Izuku's attention, they are so committed to surpassing the other that they don't even realize Izuku has been setting up dates with both of them in the hopes they will get along better and it just turns that they are months into this dynamic and don't know they are all kind of dating kjdfjkfd

It's so funny imagining all 3 of them with the fuckass lesbian haircut just to match Izuku and make him feel a little better <33

Excuse me but I have to comment this first: it would be funny af if Dabi's plan to get info from Burnin ends having a result he doesn't expects and Burnin gives him info that doesn't work for nothing, or maybe stuff Dabi already knows by that point.

Burnin probably would tell what kind of sweets Endeavor orders to his office, the kind of music he hears that she just described as "dad music", the colour of his rugs, and making constant coments about what a nice ass Endeavor has, yet nothing is remotely bad or can be used to harm Enji's public image because he turned to be a decent boss.

And Dabi will be like "I sleep with this bitch for nothing?!!!" and he gets the frustration of his life.

Oh btw Horikoshi cononized the incest in the Himura family, so DabiTen technically has a canon basis. Good on his part for doing us a favor.

Is nice share different visions for characters, after all that's the magic of rewrite stuff.

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.

Keeping alive the tradition of Shigaraki being shirtless and barefoot

Not complain at all, I prefer him that way.

This type of bodies need more appreciation:

Look I love big muscular dudes as much as the next guy, but there's something beautiful about skinny dudes as well.

Random take but: Stain had the coolest and most insane boots design on his debut.

Like we should normalize black leather boots with a lot of metal and with small chains for laces, that looks cool as hell.

If you talk about deep comic lore about X-Men, then I don't really know.

While I love X-Men as a concept for a superhero group (probably my favorites on that sense) my only experience with them are the live action movies and some of the animated series. So I don't know that specific character you mention there, but there's other similar characters to Shigaraki with similar decay powers that are much better writen than him, for example Polka-Dot Man (from the James Gunn S.S movie at least).

I wish we could get more of the gay twincest between AFO and Yoichi, but well don't think Shonen Jump would allow HK to get away with that even if he wants.

Nine and Midoriya really are perfect foils for each other in canon. I wonder how your version will play out.

And one of the funniest part abot Bakugou fans is how obviously they're mostly new anime fans and Bakugou is super dope for them only because they don't know anything better. But the rest of the anitweet community always make fun of them because there's tons of characters that do the same as Bakugou but far better.

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.
