Au Where Kurogiri Looks At What He Really Wants And Not What Afo Wants And Find That It's 'look After

au where kurogiri looks at what he really wants and not what afo wants and find that it's 'look after tomura, make him happy, raise him as i have been doing his whole life' and then defect. tomura and kurogiri would have a confrontationw here tomura is forced to chose between afo and kuro and he stays with afo. kuro goes to the heroes, not because he's suddenly a good guy, but because they can take down afo and hopefully save tomura. (maybe so oboro angst? aizawa and hizashi trying to deal w the fact that their dead friend was used to make a noumu, kurogiri not caring at all and just wanting to save tomura).

then we see tomura's perspective, struggling without kurogiri and realising how little afo cares about him. afo only sees him as a means to an end while kurogiri treated him like his own son. so tomura breaks free of afo's control and tries to rectify things w kuro and realises that he wasn't doing anything to expose the corruption in the heroes to the world, only building them up as saints. and afo let him. afo let him fall astray from what he wanted.

so things keep happening. kuro is on the heroes side, using them to save tomura w/o realising tomura has already left with the gang and afo is stuck with random pawns. tomura is trying to reach kuro but the heroes don't realise he's defected and keep trying to take him down bc kuro hasn't been honest about his desire to save tomura.

finally. after being separated for so long, tomura and kuro reunite and tomura says that he's sorry he didn't go with kuro and he didn't see how afo didn't care about him as kuro always did. then kuro just says he's happy tomura found his own way and that he raised a good person, (bc in this au tomura doesn't realise afo is using him and genuinely believes he's doing good and exposing the corrupt system).

magne is still alive in this au bc i said so and i love her, and she's quietly wiping a tear at the family reunion and they all run away to be vigilantes who actually expose 'fake' heroes like stain but better, which spinner, dabi and toga love. the villains don't all die but aren't immediately forgiven.

i dunno, i just think kuro as an uncle iro figure would be really cool and tomura was done dirty by horikoshi

(Just reblogged this at @sapphic-agent's blog, so if this seems familiar, that's why)

"We're Not Friends Kacchan" by Winds Carry Far is a really good Bakugou-Bashing fic, where All Might is depicted as a good teacher, while Aizawa is called out for being a terrible one who enabled Bakugou's behaviour. Highly recommend.

Another fic they made is called "Reality Check", where Shinsou is the one called out. Aizawa is, again, called out for being a terrible teacher, and All Might as being supportive. Another great read.

They both have TvTrope pages, though they're not exactly reliable, considering it calls both Shinsou and Bakugou as OOC even thought they're really not.

"Please Erase Eraserhead's Biases" by Beerus is also a Shinsou-bashing fic, which Aizawa is also called out on and All Might is not. Another good read.

In the "to be better" series by bia95, the first fic, "to be bitter, to be kind", has less bashing and more of a critique on Shinsou. As it's a discussion between Nedzu and Shinsou, Aizawa and All Might are not mentioned. The third fic in the series, "to be angry, to be safe", bashes on Bakugou. It acknowledges that he was raised by a shitty school but he still needs to be punished. The series is only three works in, but it is going really well thus far.

"Abuse of Power" by ACoolUsername85 is another good Shinsou-bashing fic, where Aizawa is portrayed as a shit teacher. It's centred around Ojirou, who was absoultely done dirty by the fandom, who tries to get along with Shinsou, but he's just a raging asshole.

Those are a few fics that I find myself re-reading. Give em a read if you want to see content like this :)

Do you read fanfictions? If so, can you tell me your favourite fics where Bakugou severely faces consequences, Aizawa and Shinsou's BS being called, and Izuku getting the love and support he deserves? Thanks❤️❤️❤️

I do read fanfiction however it's been quite a while since I stumbled into a fic that properly punished aizawa, bakugo and shinsou or at least criticised them while giving Izuku justice.

That being said I think that @anartisicandautisticstararcher rewrite has potential and you should read it when it is released. I have also seen quite a few rewrite MHA blogs around so I think it would be better asking them for fic recommendations.

@mikeellee also has fics criticising bakugo, aizawa and shinsou.

If anyone has fic recommendations do feel free to reblog or comment them down below

And that is the end of Season 1, folks! Ahh, it's been such a good time! I loved writing this season, setting things up for later seasons. I want to thank everyone who has been reading my rewrite, and for all your support!

Special thanks to CatGirlBeast09 and Username1232 for commenting so frequently! It really helped me find my motivation to continue it!

As of now, this is the first long fic that I've ever completed, and the longest! So I really am grateful that people have been reading and staying tuned for so long.

Now, I am planning to rewrite the rest of it, so fear not. This is not goodbye - I have a lot planned out. Season two is where we'll really see the canon divergances, where more new things are introduced, further character development, and things I just felt were missing from VLD.

I am planning to go back and edit the past chapter, specifically the ones written two years ago, so if you see that I've updated anything past chapter 20, that is why.

That's all. Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you in the next installment!

I need Bakugou stans to realise that it's not that I hate him as a person. It's that I hate him as a character.

A lot of my favourite characters are unrepentant assholes, or assholes who are set to or have already been redeemed. Vegeta from DBZ, Ouma Kokichi from DGR: V3, Dio from JoJo, Laxus from Fairy Tail, Greed from FMA: B, Bill from Gravity Falls, and the list that goes on.

If a character is a terrible person, that's fine by me. But if the author tries and fails to redeem them, yet still acts as though they are suddenly this amazing person, that's when I have an issue with it.

Bakugou was originally written to be a minor antagonist, and that would have been fine, if Horikoshi didn't suddenly go "I drew him crying so imma fix him".

Redemption is such a complex yet simple thing to do. So when you try to do it and fail spectacularly, um, yeah, I do not enjoy that character or your writing.

That is my main issue with Bakugou. I do not think he deserved any redemption, not because he's a bad person, but because there is nothing to convince me that he could change.

He gets one scene where he goes, "boohoo I lost and everyone is stronger than me" then cries, and that's supposed to be enough for him to become a better person? That is nowhere near enough.

There was no moment that made me believe he genuinely regretted and took accountability for the abuse he put Izuku through in middle school.

"He changed!" That's not my issue. I don't care that he's changed. I care that I don't believe in it. If there was a plausible reason as to why he changed, then I would be fine with it. Maybe I'd even enjoy him!

The fact that he's changed doesn't mean shit if it's not believable.

"That was in middle school!" Okay. This one pisses me off the most. That was a year pre-canon? Oh, wow, I guess that's completely fine! It's not as if characters are the way they are based on their past. Oh, Itachi killed the Uchiha clan before canon! Okay, maybe comparing a massacre to bullying is a bit unfair. Still, just because it happened a year ago, it doesn't mean it never happened. It doesn't mean that he's changed considerably.

"Izuku doesn't have any lasting damage and forgave him!" And? Just because your friend forgives their bully, it doesn't mean you have to forgive them. And, again, I do not believe Bakugou's apology was good in anyway. He was trash-talking Izuku, blaming All Might for Izuku's behaviour, and didn't accept any culpability for what he did to him. He didn't tell anyone else what he did to Izuku. Also, if Izuku really didn't have any lasting damage from the bullying, then why did Bakugou's apology make him calm down? If he didn't care about the bullying, then why is he so relieved by the apology? BECAUSE HE WAS AFFECTED.

"Bakugou was being abused!" ... NO HE WASN'T!! Mitsuki is not abusive. Yes, she hit him round the back of his head. After he threatened her. Anyone with Asian parents can tell you that her hit does not hurt. Not only is it somewhat normal in Asian families, but it also doesn't hurt. We have no evidence that she is abusive. Horikoshi knows how to set up abusive families, as seen with the Todorokis. This not that. Either way, even if she was, being abused doesn't mean it's okay to abuse others. You can hurt without hurting others.

"It's the school and teacher's fault!" No, it's not. Part of the fault lies with them enabling him, but Bakugou is already fifteen when the series starts. His mother clearly doesn't agree with his attitude. The school is only partially to blame. Bakugou should have learned by himself what is right and what is not. In fact, he clearly does know considering he doesn't want any of that stuff on his records in case U.A. rejects him.

Again. I don't care if he's a terrible person. I care that he's a terrible character.

So the next time someone says that I'm stuck in Season One, take a moment and think about what you're saying. Bad people in fiction are entertaining. Bad characters are not.

I love how Ed has canonically met God and is still a massive athiest
