Tomura's backstory - the bystander effect
Almost a year ago, i did a paper about bystander effect for my language class. I told my teammate about the idea to be added to the list that we can choose.
While i was researching about the topic, i realized that Tomura's situation when he was still Tenko in the streets is a prime example of it in anime that i've watched (and i watched so little anime so take it with a grain of salt).
Like- people were literally bypassing him, an injured child in the street who's barefoot, scarred, and has blood on his hands. He's 6. And people aren't atleast a little bit concerned for him?? Like at the very least call the police or sumn if ur busy.
But ig that's the whole point isn't it? People are so used to the heroes that they truly believed that they'll instantly be there if someone's in trouble.
I think that his past is one of the most tragic ones cause it's so easily preventable, unlike the rest. Toga, Spinner, Dabi, and Twice's backstory was a long time coming as the rise of the quirkist beliefs and the want for a child with stronger quirks.
I guess you can say Tomura's backstory is also a long time coming with Nana giving up Kotaru in the orphanage, but Tenko still wants to be a hero. If anybody, anybody at all saved him that night, he could've become a hero.
Ik that it's obvious, i just wanna talk about it for a bit.
BBY TOMURA PRECIOUS BBY TENKO ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
A bunch of Tomura sketches i did while back
Some sketches I created for the LOV as ponies. As you can see, I didn't do anything with Spinner, Compress, and Twice cause I was legit struggling on how to design them lol
tomura shigaraki finishes his food like a damn gremlin and then the moment you come to eat yours, he suddenly remembers he’s starving and shoves himself in, eating like he didn’t just devour an entire meal ten minutes ago. he doesn’t even want your food, he just wants to make it inconvenient for you, bite into it while staring dead in your face like
“what the fuck are you gonna do about it?”
it’s not hunger, it’s dominance. kurogiri’s in the back sighing like a tired single mother, scolding him for being a dick again, but tomura doesn’t give a shit. he chews slow just to piss you off.
the illusion of free will
people say shigaraki is responsible for the deaths he caused, and while i don’t completely deny that, it’s way more complicated than just “free will.” what people miss is that he was groomed from the age of five, when he was at his most vulnerable until he finally broke free from afo’s grasp. afo deliberately took him in at a point where he was completely dependent on others for guidance, then shaped him into the perfect successor.
to shigaraki, his master wasn’t just a villain, he was his savior, the only one who “understood” him, the only one who gave him a sense of purpose after the world abandoned him. and that’s exactly how manipulation works. afo didn’t just take him in, he rewired his entire mind, fed him lies, reinforced his hatred, and conditioned him to believe that destruction was his only salvation. shigaraki never had a chance to form his own worldview because afo made sure to mold it for him.
look at shigaraki’s reaction when he was separated from afo, it wasn’t just anger, it was pure desperation. that’s the reaction of someone who has been so deeply conditioned that he doesn’t know how to function outside of his abuser’s influence. shigaraki was entirely dependent on afo, and when you’re raised under constant manipulation, you don’t suddenly “wake up” and realize you’ve been controlled your whole life.
it doesn’t work that way. when he saw all might trying to save bakugo while attacking the league, he felt betrayed by the world all over again. to him, it was proof that heroes will never save people like him. but that idea wasn’t his, it was something afo planted in his mind for years, reinforcing it over and over until shigaraki believed it as an absolute truth. so when afo was no longer there, what was left? nothing but the doctrine his master forced onto him. if he wasn’t groomed, if he wasn’t brainwashed into thinking destruction was his only option, then he would have taken another path. but that was never an option for him because he never had the freedom to choose in the first place. as afo himself admitted, shigaraki never had free will. none of his choices were ever his own.
compare this to dabi and toga. they were abused, but they never had an outside force controlling them like afo did with shigaraki. they became villains on their own terms, dabi out of revenge, toga out of rejection from society. but shigaraki? his entire ideology was forced onto him. if afo had gotten to shoto instead, then shoto would have ended up just like shigaraki.
and here’s the worst part; nobody in the story even questions it. if horikoshi wanted us to humanize the villains, then he should have given them a humanizing death, something that forced people to acknowledge what they went through and how they ended up like this. but instead, nobody even stops to ask why afo had to groom a child into being his successor. nobody wonders why japan’s greatest villain was so reliant on manipulating a mentally ill, traumatized young man into doing his bidding. they just see shigaraki as a monster.
shigaraki never had a choice, but the world acts like he did.
hiii
2 sketches of shiggy being a loser gamer (he is playing dress to impress)
shigaraki: you think you can distract me from my ultimate goal just like this? you fool! i’m not that weak-minded. i’ll have you know that i have my master’s will—
raven: can you just eat your fucking food?
i think (if i’m not mistaken) shigaraki is the only one in the game who had 2 suggestive lines and you’re telling me this guy doesn’t watch porn?
some random headcanons of tomura that i thought of
just like ochaco, he sleeps either with gloves on or bandages on his pinky fingers
i’ve seen many people say tomura would listen metal or heavy metal but i really think he’d prefer game OST’s over anything>>>
blasts bury the light at 3am
he’d call kurogiri at 3am just to tell him about his plans to kill all might
apparently he’s awake all day, having anxiety attack cuz he drank monster on an empty stomach
i think he’s the type of guy to meticulously plan everything only to have it ruined by bad luck
he’d occasionally pick on his flaky skin/lips
he has a habit of collecting figures, only to leave on at the shelve without looking at it again
if you’re close to tomura, he’d invite you to eat something tasty and then tell you that he destroyed one of your items
tomura is not the type to use bar soap but rather dispenser soap…that’s if you’re lucky enough he used one
he doesn’t use his quirk much and he’s used to only using 4 fingers
very competitive and mean when he plays against you in a PvP game
too mean he’s not giving you an ounce of hope to win
you got upset and he decided to switch to simulation games instead (he doesn’t admit this but he plays animal crossing to relax)
say goodbye to your personal space, this man knows no boundaries
he’s not shy, he’s just like a cat that doesn’t know how to express its feelings to you
*gets jumpscared in a horror game* “fuck all might, fuck endeavor, fuck hawks, fuck—“
your man is the type to pick his food off the floor :(
shigaraki is the type of guy to buy you the most luxurious & beautiful black nightgown while he stays on his creeper boxers
tomura doesn’t like to shower on his own, he likes the feeling of your fingers brushing through his hair 🚿🛀
(NSFW below this point:)
expect him to talkshit about all might mid-sex
i really think his hatred for all might surpasses his sex drive
prefers receiving and will be mean about it, he just likes making a mess of you
degradation & slight breeding kink
your boobs are his favorite pillows
he likes fucking you with the skirt on—
missionary & doggy 👑
call him sweet names during sex and he’ll melt under your arms
doesn’t like shower sex but a blowjob will do
i think he would be into somnophilia, only if you’re fine with it
an old colored sketch of tomura, i might redraw it in the future :3
a quick redraw of my ship 🍰❌
hori was beyond cruel for making him resemble tenko and get our hopes up again :(
i colored it and changed his expression lol
saw this funny mp100 meme and decided to redraw it lol
he is so done with her
she prolly smacked his head with the brush and told him to go take a bath
𝐒𝐘𝐏𝐍𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐒: Tomura and Y/N fell for each other, but nobody knew they had fallen. They didn't even know they fell for each other until one day, walking back from a (mostly) successful battle, they find a hotel and Y/N finds Tomura...
Tomura and Y/N had fallen for each other, of course, nobody knew so, and neither of you would tell anyone because you mostly wanted to ignore teasing. You weren't even sure why you liked him, was it the messy hair that draped perfectly over his scarlet eyes? His cold attitude? His weird yet oh-so-sexy demeanor? How he was slightly emo? How you knew he'd be all yours since he was such a loser and no woman ever batted an eye at him? You didn't know. Tomura knew why he liked you, you weren't ever afraid to speak your mind, and you were so sexy to him, he'd pump his fat cock to you while whispering your name while you were in the next room, thinking he was gaming or asleep. One attack, you and the rest of the League were walking home after a (mostly) successful battle, All Might didn't come to "save the day" which made Tomura a little pissed off, you could sense it. Tomura led the League away from the lair...odd.
Dabi: "What the hell, boss? Are you stupid? The lair is literally right around the corner!"
Shigaraki: "Stop being a dick, we're staying at a hotel for the night so we can actually wake up early all together for the next battle tomorrow." He grumbled, a hint of sleepiness in his voice as he stomped off up the sidewalk, making it to the hotel, checked in, and he didn't know how to work that stuff but Spinner swore he did and only got three rooms with one bed each. Stupid. Magne, Toga and Twice decided to share a room, Spinner, Dabi and Compress decided to share a room, that leaves you, Shigaraki and Kurogiri.
Kurogiri: "I can leave you two be. I'll sleep on the chair." He insisted, no matter how many denials came from you or Tomura. You and Tomura made it well through the night, you couldn't tell with Kurogiri, you fell asleep but woke up to a moan, you looked over at the alarm clock— 1:34 AM.— you look over your shoulder to see Tomura jerking off, you couldn't make out what was on his phone, you rubbed your eyes and say a picture of you changing he had secretly took of you, oh my god...this guy is a pervert! You turned around quickly as you felt him spin around, you felt him tug at your pants and cum on your ass, you let out a noise and his eyes snapped open in fear, but you fake sleeped, you thought you could play it off, he just shrugged it off and left the hot cum on your ass as he then spun back around and played his game on the same phone he was just looking at a picture of you on and jerking off to it.
MORE TOMU SMAUS PLEASEEEE 😼

LoV headcannons
~Dabi and Tomura share a love for death metal while Toga and Twice prefer hyperpop.
~Toga likes cherry jolly ranchers because the color reminds her of blood
~They have definitely camped out in an alleyway while on the run and used Dabi to cook marshmallows bc that was all they could steal without getting caught. (Making the most with what you have)
Bonus thought, somehow, it reminded Dabi of his childhood and he was silent the whole time
~Twice and Toga are the most emotionally intelligent of the League. Tomura doesn't care about other people enough to look into how they feel. Compress might be on Toga and Twice's level of emotional intelligence, but Spinner is avoidant of how he feels internally. Dabi is a mix of Tomura and Spinner
~Dabi kept an eye on his family the whole time he was a villain, not for revenge purposes, but because some defective part of him (his words, not mine) still cared about them even though they let him suffer.
~I feel like this is a given, but the League is the first time any of the members felt like they had a family. They squabbled, picked on each other, and got into trouble together. Somehow, they were okay with going to jail or dying after all of it was over, because they met each other. None of them ever voice this thought, because the people they cared about left or hurt them. But they all cared, even when the others thought they didn't.
I think 𝑻𝒐𝒎𝒖𝒓𝒂 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒊 comfort is peak and there isn’t enough of it out there. Like, he doesn’t care how much of an absolute mess you are. He doesn’t care if your eyes are red and puffy or if you have snot running down your face (he’d probably still make you wipe it first), but I can imagine that he just doesn’t hesitate to be by your side if you’re the kind of person that cares enough about him to give him space when he’s on edge but still be there when he calms down.
I think at heart he’s soft and fluffy under all the rotten skin and bone <3
