ONE FOR ALL HOLDERS

K so we know that Deku is the 9th holder of OFA, & All Might is the 8th. The 7th holders name is Nana Shimura. Do YoU KnOw WhAt NaNa MeAnS!?!?!? FUCKING SEVEN!

ARE WE JUST NOT GONNA NOTICE THE AWKWARD TOKOYAMI IN THE BACK!?!?!?

my collab piece with leporidae for the @chinenmiyazine 😸💕 you can check out their adorable fic and the rest of the zine for free HERE!

this was a lot of fun to make and i really enjoyed Dev's fic so it was easy to do too 😊

NO THIS WOULD BE GREAT!!!! ALL THE PEOPLE KILLED BY THE SNAPtm WOULD STILL BE ALIVE AND THE EMOTIONS OF THE ENTIRE FANDOM WOULD BE LESS HURT (because Gamora would still be dead and Loki would still be "dead")

Teachers care more if you use Wikipedia as a source than if you’re getting bullied.

Episode Title + Collector Theory

Okay so we all remember The Episode Title Name Thing for S2, which was Previously (Before 2B’s Release) theorized to be

“Seek the Key Fear the Door”

is Actually

“Seek the Key Fear the Lock”

Could the Lock in question be the Collector’s Mirror? The Collector was Locked away in the Shadow Realm for a Reason (Probably cause he’s so OP) but like yeah. It just occurred to me because this is the only thing I’ve thought about for the past 2 days.

The Fan’s Guide to the Altean Language

UPDATED FOR SEASON 6 - First update for season 6 (also comics)

Thank you all for your overwhelming support. I plan on updating this guide for every season, so stay tuned! For a more indepth guide to season 3, check out @butteredonions post here!

New season updates will be within 1 week of premier

Questions? Comments? Want to chat? Let me know! Due to the popularity of this post, I may not see commentary in the tags, so hit up my askbox, the messenger, or the comment feature on the post.

With the increase of alien characters in season 3, we are getting away from this being purely the Altean language. Unfortunately, there’s no real way of knowing what is and isn’t considered “altean”, so I’m just going to continue to use “Altean Language” as the tag.

Units of time (Confirmed with Official Guidebook!)

Quintant = 1 day

Deca-Phoeb = 1 year

Phoeb = 1 month

Dobosh = minute

Varga = hour

Tick = a tad longer than a second

movement = week

@saiikavon has pointed out that in S2E8, the Blades of Marmora base would be closed for 2 quintants. When they mention that 10 Vargas have passed, Lance correctly estimates another 30 Vargas until the base is open again. From this it can be assumed that 2 Quintants = 40 Vargas or 1 Quintant = 20 Vargas.

Paladin Trivia

The paladins left earth on a monday (S1E2)

The swords the blades of Mamora use are made of Luxite, which is rare

Coran accompanied his Grandfather while the castle of lions was being built, potentially putting his age in the 600s (not counting the 10k year cryo-sleep)

He/him pronouns are used for Pidge until S1E6, and She/her pronouns from S1E6 onwards

Coran’s full name is Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe

Haggar’s altean name is Honerva. Her official title is High Priestess

The mice are Platt (largest), Chulatt (blue fur/eyes), Plachu (Blue fur, red eyes), and Chuchule (pink fur)

The Holt family dog was originally named Gunther, later changed to Bae Bae (in honor of the studio’s late pet)

The dates on Matt’s tombstone are 0010-05-25 to 0014-04-28. This format may be the correct date format, as Pidge didn’t realize anything was off until she realized Matt’s b-day was wrong

Allura didn’t seem to know that Lotor was half Altean. Coupled with the memory scene with Haggar, it is implied that Lotor was born sometime after Haggar and Zarkon became corrupted. He is likely younger than Allura.

Krolia wanted to name Keith “Yorak”

i’m sure i’ve missed a few things, but i can’t stand to look at it any longer. i present to you: the good, the bad, and the ugly of tumblr throughout the decade

I also have a similar theory. So we know Shigaraki’s Dad (Nana’s Son) was a shitty dad, and is maybe dead because of Shigaraki, but we don't know his quirk. We'll come back to him later. Now back to Nana. I can't put a picture here now, but Nana looks VEEEEEEEERY Similar to another character: Momo Yaoyorozu.

Like i said earlier, we dont know the sons quirk or Nana's, and we also don't know much about Shigaraki's past. so I think that the son got married to a rich woman and took her last name and they had 2 kids, a couple of years apart (and who knows? If The son died before Momo was Born, her mom could've re-married to avoid who-is-my-dad questions from baby Momo) the first kid, Shigaraki, and the second, their daughter Momo. And Momo doesn't know because her mom doesn't want her bubbly daughter to know her dad isn't really her dad ('cause that can be traumatizing).

But this is all just a theory I've had in my mind. I could be completely wrong and Momo and Shigaraki could have nothing in common at all.

(But side note: How ironic would it be if a couple had two kids with completely opposite quirks, Creation and Decay. But then again, that could be part of the Dramatic Plot Twist TM)

It’s stated that Shigaraki is Shimura Nana’s descendant. Also, they say that Nana didn’t want to All Might and Gran Torino to be in contact with her children after her death. Shigaraki Tomura is an orphan. Inko, said by All Might, “looks like Nana”. What if Inko was also an descendant of Shimura Nana? WOULD THAT MEAN THAT IZUKU AND TOMURA ARE RELATED?

My opinion: This could be a way of interpreting All Might’s statement. However, I think he was implying that Inko is beautiful and radiates a motherly vibe- both of which are true, btw

All Might is probably just admiring the way Inko takes care of Izuku as Nana took care of him 😊(but if you give this info to Todoroki, he might just connect the dots the way OP did)
