"We're Not Friends Kacchan" By Winds Carry Far Is A Really Good Bakugou-Bashing Fic, Where All Might

"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 out, and Izuku getting the love and support he deserves? Thanks❤️❤️❤️

I do read fics, but I can't really think of any fics off the top of my head right now. Bakugou faces consequences fics usually involve Aizawa glazing and All Might bashing and it's hard to find ones that don't.

There is Peace's Apprentice on AO3 that's an IzuMomo fic. I never got around to reading it in its entirety, but it does call out Bakugou, Aizawa, and Shinsou

Outside of the IzuCrew, (Izuku, Shouto, Tenya, Ochako, Tsuyu), which side character are you the most excited to bring attention to?

Personally, I would either go for Momo, Neitou, or Mezou.

Momo, mostly because her quirk relies on science and I love science, and she absolutely needed more time to shine and women with bows or swords always makes me feel a sort of way.

Neitou because he's really interesting to me. A lot of people don't like him due to him antagonising 1-A, but I knew straight away that he was insecure and I think delving into how that impacts his actions would be really cool. Also, there's every chance he's as much of a quirk nerd as Izuku and I love that.

Mezou because he's both really cool and would make for a much better statement of quirk discrimination than Shinsou. He's shown to be protective over others despite being discriminated against for his appearance, and thinking about how he was able to take all of that hate and decided to become a hero to help people anyway is amazing. I also think the contrast of his 'scary' looks and how sweet he can be is both funny and endearing.

(Feel free to answer this whenever you want. No rush <3)

I mean, y'all know I love my girl Momo. Not only do I love her, there's just so much potential around her. So she's definitely the one I'm most excited for.

(Confession: I'm not super great at science so I might get things wrong surrounding her quirk, as well as others'. Just a heads-up in case something I say is blatantly bs)

Monoma is such an interesting character too. I personally think he was a better minor antagonist than Bakugou. He isn't shoved down our throats all the time, he's legitimately funny, and he gets called out consistently by Kendo and others. An antagonistic character should be fun like that.

(Also, he read Bakugou for filth. King shit right there)

Mezou is ABSOLUTELY better for discrimination. Especially because if we're being honest, Shinsou is an asshole who likes using his quirk on people. No, people putting him in a box wasn't right and yes, I enjoy his parallels with Izuku. But the series making such a big deal out of him when Shoji is RIGHT THERE feels... Off. I'll probably talk a little about everyone in regard to discrimination though. Every voice deserves to be heard in those case

toshinori's character was supposed to encapsulate the idea that 'not everyone can be heroes, but everyone has the capacity for heroism'.

maybe you can't be a hero without a quirk, maybe you can't be a hero with strength.

but it doesn't change the fact that everyone can be heroic.

after all might's retirement, toshinori goes through a bit of an identity crisis, wondering who he is if he cannot be all might. and aizawa tells him straight up that he does not need to be all might. all he has to be is toshinori.

stain further exemplifies this, when he saves all might and tells him that it was not his strength that moved him. it was his actions. the all might statue built had been defecated, and this upsets toshinori. it makes him feel as though he failed in being a symbol of peace.

yet, when stain tells him that people loved all might for his actions and what he stood for, not his strength, a single person goes up to that statue and cleans it.

all might may have died, but toshinori lives on and that is all he needs to do. all he has to do is be himself.

...

all this gets thrown out with iron might.

iron might goes against what his character was building up to be, what his character was going to say.

'not everyone can be heroes, but all can be heroic.'

by giving us iron might, it erases that first half. because, while quirkless, toshinori is able to fight on using this suit to mimic quirks. which, while i'd accept if izuku did this at the start, or if a different quirkless character did, is just not good.

the whole point of all might dying was so that toshinori could live on. he shouldn't have to fight after everything that he's already done.

toshinori dying would have been trash, but i wouldn't mind it so much if he died an honorable and heroic death, such as saving someone from an attack, maybe having a call-back to izuku's 'my feet started moving on its own'.

he wouldn't be a hero in that moment, but he would be heroic, and that is what his character was supposed to say.

his character was supposed to show us that. we were supposed to gather that, even if toshinori is no longer a hero, he is still heroic.

supporting others, trying to reach out to izuku in his dark hero arc, dong whatever he can to keep morale up.

iron might is cool and all, but it goes against his own narrative.

horikoshi, once again, did him dirty. he does so many character dirty.

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

Character: *speaks in a different language* Oh, whoops, sorry! It's hard to switch back sometimes!

Me: Ew, no, stop that. That's not how that works

Bi/Multilingual characters consciously switch between languages, unless they've been afflicted mentally, such as being delirious or running on a dangerously high fever. Please, if you're including a bi/multilingual character and want to intergrate that naturally into your story, just do a bit of research.

Reddit gives a lot of advice, as well as tumblr and maybe TikTok if you find the right side of it.

Bi/multilingual characters are only really likely to switch languages mid-sentence if there's a specific word that doesn't translate exactly to the general language. Even then, it's not likely that they'll instantly switch.

They may also switch languages for specific idioms or phrases that aren't common in the general language or just don't translate well at all.

Troubles with language: if they forget a word in the general language, they're likely to just go 'that thing' or try to describe it until someone else finds the word for them. Sometimes, they'll know the word in another language but not the general one. In most cases, if they can't remember the word in the moment, they'll remember it later and slap themselves in the face.

The more languages a character speaks, the more likely they are to forget words. Also, it's incredibly hard to become fluent in a language unless you interact with others speaking the same language. Colloquisms and such are hard to pick up on unless speaking and interacting with natives or that specific culture.

Some letters/characters are incredibly hard to pronounce properly unless you've been corrected on them multiple times and actually taught them by natives, though they most likely don't care about butchered pronounciation, unless it's a specific dialect. In that case, some might find it insulting.

I'm not bilingual or multilingual, so if you want proper advice, go to those reddit pages or tumblr posts that are actually written by people who are. Still, all this advice I've given is from my own research for my fanfics.

Seeing authors abuse google translate and go, 'yay, representation!', is very frustrating, especially because it relies on stererotypes and thus diminishes the representation. It happens more often than not, and that's really sad because you can make bilingual/multilingual troubles so funny.

Forgetting a word so you just shrug and start a new conversation because it's easier than trying to figure out what the word is. Swearing in another language so children don't pick it up, only for them to also speak that language. Speaking in a different language just to annoy everyone else who doesn't understand.

There's a lot of potential for comedy with this, but not when it's 'oops, it's hard to switch back/I get confused sometimes.' And, no. They do not switch when excited. It's a conscious decision, unless they're really, really out of it.

Now, I hate to say I told you so...

But I knew MHA was a travesty and the ending just proved it.

Normally, I respect writers/mangakas, because it's such a hard thing to do.

But Fuck Horikoshi
