Devourer by TripleBerry (Rieka)

Izuku will be a hero, because there is no other option.

He will save everyone, because there is no other option.

And he will eat them whole, because there is no other option.

The recorder sputtered, before beeping.

“Hello, my name is Tsukauchi Naomasa, detective of the Major Crimes Division of the Shizuoka Prefecture, serving at station 577 in Musutafu. My quirk is called Lie Detector, registration number 321459301. I will be explicitly stating whether a given response is a truth or a lie. Alright, All Might. Let’s begin. For the record, can you please state your name, age, quirk, and date of birth…”

The hand-held recorder popped and sputtered. A gloved hand slammed down near it, causing it to jump. It popped once more, before continuing to play.

“Toshinori Yagi, age fifty-two, quirkless, birthday, June 10th.”

“Thank you,” papers rustled loudly, and the voices after were muffled. The detective had placed a file over his recorder, “Now, will you please state your relation to the villain All for One?”

“He’s my son.”

[MHA / MLP] The similarities between Izuku Midoriya and Twilight Sparkle...

I NEED YOU GUYS TO STICK WITH ME, OKAY? OKAY.

So, besides being some of my favorite main characters in animated television, they both have weirdly similar stories (it might be some trope I'm unaware of? I don't know). One of the BIGGEST similarities is their mentors, who are (or were) seen by society as THE symbol. Celestia is THE princess of Equestria. All Might is THE symbol of hope-- they're untouchable.

Obviously, as the show moves on, those things are proven to be false (Celestia needs Twilight to save her a bunch and All Might reveals to Deku that he's lowkey dying).

However, that doesn't stop Twilight or Deku from looking up to their mentors and being huge nerds about them T-T (they're so cute)

Plus, towards the end of the show, it's the mentors who end up looking towards the mentees.

The characters who thought that they couldn't do anything (Twilight knew nothing about friendship and Deku didn't even have a quirk) turn into masters in their fields AND they inspire the next generations.

And Deku and Twilight both end up being teachers, at least for a bit.

im back

“Hisashi midoriya this” “hisashi midoriya that”

THIS IS HIS REAL DAD.

daddecember day 31 - "thank you"

haven't drawn them in forever ... (2 months)

@daddecember

Nobody knows you better than your obsessed fanboy. Not even yourself

Inspired by that clip of Paul Mezcal and the woman who runs his fan acc doing a quiz on his life and her beating his ass lol

Happy Birthday to the best dad!

he WILL throw his dad at you, dont test him

I will NEVER be okay about izuku and toshinori's relationship. Like, THEY SAVED EACH OTHER. THEY LIVE FOR EACH OTHER.

THEY CANNOT BEAR TO LOSE EACH OTHER

A MAN WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS SHOULDERS. WEIGHED DOWN BY INJURY AND SELF-IMPOSED ISOLATION. WHO HAD RESOLVED TO WALK FORWARD, WHITTLING HIS BODY AWAY UNTIL HE REACHED A HORRIFIC AND LONELY DEATH. WHO FOUND A REASON TO AGAIN LIVE IN A QUIRKLESS, FRIENDLESS BOY

A BOY WHO ONLY HAD HIS MOTHER. WHO DESPERATELY NEEDED JUST ONE SINGLE PERSON TO BELIEVE IN HIM. WHO FOUND THAT PERSON IN THE HERO HE ADMIRED THE MOST. A HERO WHO SWORE ON HIS LIFE THAT HE'D RAISE IZUKU. THAT HE'D D I E FOR HIM. AND THEN, EVEN HARDER: THAT HE'D L I V E FOR HIM.

LIKE THAT'S TOSHINORI'S PRIDE AND JOY. THE REASON HE IS S T I L L HERE. BUT ALSO: VICE VERSA. WHEN IZUKU THINKS BACK ON OFA HE THINKS BACK TO THE UNCONDITIONAL BELIEF AND SUPPORT. THE "YOU CAN BE A HERO." THE ONE THING THAT LONELY 14 YO BOY NEEDED MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

All Might IS the father figure in Izuku's life. He IS, definitively, the most important adult in Izuku's life RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOY'S MOTHER. HE IS TO IZUKU WHAT NANA WAS TO HIM. Life flashing before his eyes, faced with death, Izuku cries out to the two of them. His PARENTS.

I can't sleep, I can't eat. I will think about these two forever. Beyond the end. All Might the hero who was shown how to be just a man by being a father. Izuku the fan, who discovered his worth through the support of his hero, who came to love & raise him as a father does a son

I guess I’m never gonna finish this one 😂 I started it after that panel came out where baby Toshi just DWARFS poor Izuku

@found-family-fan did somebody say dadmight? 👀

A dad and his son😭🥹

daddy yagi up early with the little yagis- you got this toshi! 👊🍼🐰🐰

can I request also the toshinko dadmight headcanons XD

👁️👁️ I owe you my life for asking, my friend

First, I just love them. Whether romantic, platonic, co-parenting duo—I just love them.

Also i'm going straight into end of the manga spoilers for these headcanons cause that's where my brain is currently sitting and spiraling?

In Izuku's 2nd year Inko and Toshinori start encountering each other a bit more often

They saw a bit of each other when Izuku and All Might were recovering in the same hospital room. It's where Inko learns that Izuku had sacrificed the quirk All Might gave him. She holds it together when Izuku tells her but once her son falls asleep she cries and cries and cries, unable to hold back even though All Might is there as a witness.

Toshinori confides in her that he's not sure of the future (he's essentially broke after using up all his money for the IronMight suit and he'd be homeless if he didn't have a dorm at UA) especially when it comes to Izuku's dream. Though he just can't believe this is the end of it. But no matter happens, he swears to her that his promise he made to her to stay alive and raise Izuku still stands.

And even though he renews that promise while on his back in a hospital bed, in a neck brace with plaster around every limb, it's even more powerful than the first time. Inko can't stop thinking about it even after Izuku is discharged.

It's why, once things have settled down, Inko asks Izuku if he'd like to invite All Might over for dinner

I like to imagine that Izuku elects to stay at the dorms for must weekdays but that he goes home on weekends to spend time with Inko. Part of it is admittedly because he's a little guilty—he put her under so much stress the last few months—be it's also because he just misses her.

And um yes! Izuku would like that! But he doesn't think All Might will say yes...he's still recovering from his battle and he's been busy working with Hawks on restoration. But Inko is very encouraging (almost insistent, which Izuku notes with some surprise) so Izuku relents and asks.

Imagine Toshinori's surprise when he gets the invite. He's at PT with Tsukauchi (who's there for moral support) when Izuku texts him and his immediate reaction is to slip from the bars when Tsukauchi reads the out loud message for him.

Toshi doesn't even have an answer at first because a part of him WANTS to go, and another feels it'd be too rude to reject what is Izuku's mother extending her thanks (nor does he want to reject Izuku when the boy is dealing with so much right now), but there's the matter of his diet and he doesn't want to be any trouble

But Izuku is a PSYCHIC (or very good at word vomit and backtracking) so he immediately messages that he already told his mother about Toshinori eating habits - and while he's embarrassed, he's thankful

He says yes and Tsukauchi watches on so so happy for his friend. Feeling like this truly is the first step in Toshinori's recovery that has been a very long time coming

And after that first dinner there's many more. Sometimes when Izuku comes home for the weekend he'll be the one to ask if Toshinori can join but sometimes Inko will extend an invite. At some point the two exchange numbers because in all the craziness they somehow never did when Izuku went AWOL and left UA.

And over these dinners that go on for most of Izuku's second year Inko finds herself learning more and more about the man behind the hero. She even feels a little bad, always calling him All Might, that she asks and is surprised when he gives her his name with only the hesitation of surprise and...gratefulness? It certainly feels that way whenever she refers to him by his last name & catches his expression

And the more she learns, the more that so much about Yagi Toshinori strikes her as a little too familiar. He shares one evening, helping her wash the dishes as Izuku picks out a movie for the three of them to watch, that he has no living family. No parents, no grandparents, no siblings, just an old teacher and Izuku. And it makes Inko (single mother, married young, without her parents, without siblings, estranged from any extended family, with only her little apartment and son) feel seen.

Things move very slow. But there's definitely a change. When the sport festival comes round again for the second years, Toshinori invites Inko to come see it live. Izuku competes and gets very far despite not using his quirk! (The school elected on not including a battle event this time around). And Inko has the worst/best time of her life cheering for her son right along with All Might.

They all go out to eat after and pick a small little place, to avoid Izuku or Toshinori from being recognized. It's so relaxed, comfortable, warm, something Inko realizes...she's growing used to

That same school year the cultural festival is reopened to the public and Inko goes thinking she'll walk around with Mitsuki until Izuku is free to say hello (she doesn't want to pull him from his friends). But then she runs into Toshinori and suddenly he's offering to show her around and then the two of them are exploring the festival together. And it only hits Inko as strange when they get to Izuku's class and her son waves, running up to him with a bit of surprise behind his eyes. "Oh, how come you're with All Might, Mom?"

And...that's a great question.

Then there's Toshi. He's partial to cooking but never really did it for himself. In fact he'd only started up again because of Izuku. Making bentos for their lunch meetings during school and for when the kid was working himself ragged on the run. But now he's bringing his own side dishes when he joins Inko and Izuku for dinner. Now, he's asking if there's something maybe he could try making. Now, Midoriya Inko is asking if he'd like to join her at the supermarket where she tends to shop and he's accepting.

It's a bit of a song and dance for almost a full year. Dinners, school events, shopping, walks. Inko sharing stories and pictures of Izuku that begin revealing more and more about herself. Toshi responding with the same courtesy.

There's this building comfort. This familiarity. This something Inko isn't sure she ever really had even with Hisashi when he was here in the time before Izuku was born.

Something Toshinori didn't even think he wanted, but now that he has it—feels it whenever he walks through the Midoriya's front door—he doesn't want to lose it

But everything comes to a halt when one day during his second year Izuku comes home with Toshinori in tow, which is not unusually for a Friday. What is unusual is Izuku saying he wants to talk with them both after dinner. The matter being the "UA Preparation for the Future Survey all the second years have received.

For a hero student, this would be a chance to review potential offers of work at a specific agency upon graduation, to see if a pro has extended an offer to begin as a sidekick, or to declare plans for startup work if a student plans on creating their own agency. For Izuku…

The fear Inko has for her son will never disappear but ever since she saw him fight from the safety of UA's fortress, her belief in him triumphs said fears. And she can't help but think Toshinori feels the same. None of them have really talked about this, or at least, not all together. Toshinori had mentioned a few times that Izuku had been sharing whenever the "embers" felt a little less but that had really been the extent

Toshinori starts the conversation, saying what Inko also wants to, that they'll support him, that they'll find a way, that even quirkless they'll make it work—but Izuku interrupts.

"I've decided." And by the look in his eyes Inko knows there'll be no convincing him otherwise. "I'm going to apply university."

He confesses to seriously considering his future. To reflecting on how he could continue to help people. To inspire and encourage others to feel like they could also reach out.

"Maybe I could try to be a hero quirkless..." And even though he doesn't cry Inko does when he looks to her and says, "But after everything...I'm not sure that's a risk I'm willing to take. I want to make sure more than anything that I can come home to you...both of you."

And then Inko's not the only one crying, Toshinori is too, and Izuku is poorly swiping at some tears but his voice doesn't waver at all when he says, "I want to be a teacher at UA"

There you go. Hugs for Toshi.

It’s lonely at the top

Hello, Toshination. Follow for more Dad Might truthing

Taking on Izuku gave All Might all the dad habits including watching TV by standing up ten inches away

hc that toshinori makes terrible dad jokes (which inko finds hilarious), and mido just quietly suffers through their terrible sense of humor (tho its obviously not terrible all the time they do make good ones once in awhile hehe) but tldr midoriya has a giant database of these jokes because of them

[on twitter]

the dad jokes were too much for him

Part 22! Dad Might gives the best advice. And the teachers totally have a betting pool First  Prev

Aizawa, about a loudly sobbing 5yo Izuku: Why is your hellspawn making that godawful noise

All Might, throwing his hands up in exasperation: He’s upset he wasn’t invited to mine and his mother’s wedding

Aizawa: He’s…he wasn’t even born yet

All Might, voice hysterical: I’ve told him that five times already!

Villain Deku AU + Exasperated Dad Might

Deku becomes a villain pretty young and All Might still hasn’t given up heroics because goddamnit he’s not ready to give up being All Might yet. All Might literally cannot fight Villain Deku at full power because this guy is just a KID and doesn’t he have GUARDIAN??? An Adult??? Someone to look after this sassy lost child who definitely shouldn’t be doing such illegal activities???

So All Might finds himself reluctantly stepping into Dad Might role whenever he fights the villain Deku because DAMNIT YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE AMAZING LIFE AHEAD OF YOU STOP THESE ILLEGAL SHENANIGANS YOUNG MAN

And the whole time Deku can’t decide whether to feel patronized by All Might or thrive off his attention (it’s some unholy mixture of both and the whole time he’s just CONFUSED about his own feelings on the matter) all he knows for sure is that he wants All Might to acknowledge him and his abilities

The whole city is just trying to hold itself together since it’s best hero is apparently trying to parent this unruly villain into submission

It’s got mixed results.

I can see it

Kaccan : no way deku is all might son

All might : hello izuku , my child

Kaccan : SHUT THE F$@% UP DEKU'S NOT YOUR SON

So…  I’m no good at this stuff but I’ve been reading lots of Dad Might fanfics and I got the NEED to see what Deku would look like with All Mights coloring.

So there you have it! Hope you can unsee it, cuz i can’t. haha.

THEY BOTH DO THE HOPPING THING LIKE FATHER LIKE SON ADGSGFD WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE HELP ME 

Ignored

In canon, between the slime villain incident and the U.A. entrance exam, Bakugou ignores Izuku.

In this AU, he doesn’t.

Bakugou is frustrated by his own helplessness when Slime attacked and he takes it out on Izuku.

Izuku is worried that someone else would be a better successor and constantly goes back and forth between thinking, “All Might chose me,” and “He chose me on a whim.”

He keeps thinking he should give All Might the chance to back out but he’s too terrified to actually do it and it makes feel like a coward. He puts himself down a lot and his classmates and teachers do the same.

It’s pretty obvious to Toshinori that Izuku is being badly bullied when he shows up to training with burns on his skin in the shape of a hand.

Toshinori realizes how bad Izuku has it but he doesn’t know what to do about it so he invites Naomasa to meet Izuku. Since Naomasa is a detective, he ought to know what can be done about the bullying.

But on the way to meet Toshinori, Naomasa passes by the school where Izuku is being severely bullied. Toshinori goes to the police station where Izuku is being patched up and Bakugou is facing assault charges.
