Dark Shadows Dropping Some Truths

Reposts on Instagram are allowed as long as you tag me! Reprinting and Recreating are NOT Allowed

Sometimes, an emo bird needs a little help with admitting his feelings.

Dark Shadow is a part of Tokoyami’s body, so he’s always there. Plus, he has a mind of his own. So I always figured he was privy to things Tokoyami wouldn’t admit to.

Note: “Fumi” is just Fumikage (Tokoyami’s first name) shortened. I kinda HC it as Dark Shadow’s affectionate nickname for him.

Feeling moments ago: ☹️

Watched clip of Tokoyami and his Ragnarök move, and him just being his kick-ass self.

Feeling now: 😃

Uraraka’s been insulting herself lately and Tokoyami uses a silly yet effective way to get her to stop.

Ler! Tokoyami

Lee! Uraraka

“I’m just not very pretty, that’s all.”

“Oh, I hate these chubby round cheeks!”

“Stupid tummy pudge…”

“Oh, nothing. I’m fine. It’s not like my bare bones room is super embarrassing or anything!”

“Ow! Ugh, my feet hurt! These shoes are too small. My feet grow really fast I guess, I don’t know but I hate these Sasquatch feet. Why don’t I just get another pair? Because I can’t afford one right now, that’s why! And don’t you dare tell the Senseis!”

Tokoyami had heard these comments and similar others throughout the week, and he’d had enough.

Dark Night: Ochako, will you come here please?

Songbird: Sure. Everything okay?

Dark Night: Yes. 💜

Uraraka walked into her boyfriend’s room, shut the door behind her, and squeaked.

He stood there with a displeased look on his face.

“We need to talk,” he said. “About—”

“But you said everything was okay!”

“And it is. Just because we have to discuss something doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem.”

Uraraka frowned. “Then what is it?”

Tokoyami paced the length of his room as he explained, “I’ve overheard some of your self-deprecating comments this week,” he said, then proceeded to recall each of the comments he’d heard. “And I am going to make sure I convince you that those things are true.”

Uraraka, who’d sat on the bed while he was talking, managed to look up from the floor. “W-what? How are you going to do that?”

“By tickling you,” he said simply. And with a snap of his fingers Dark Shadow came out and held her arms above her head and made her lay on her back.

“Fumiiiiii, you don’t have to do this!” she whined.

“Oh, I think I do. And judging by that look in your eye, you don’t mind, do you?”

Uraraka’s blush reddened.

Tokoyami chuckled. “I thought so. Now, five comments, five areas that get tickled. I think I’ll start with your lovely soft tummy,” he said as he straddled her. He pushed up her shirt slightly and started to tickle. “Laugh for me, Songbird.”

Uraraka burst into bubbly giggles, wiggling what that she could. “Ahahahahahahaha! Fumihihihihihi! Plehehehease!”

“Please what? You’ll have to be more specific. Ah, perfect! One comment about your tummy, and one belly button,” he said, tickling it gently and chuckling when his girlfriend let out a ticklish squeal and drummed her feet on the bed.

“Eeeehehehehehehe! Nahahahahat the behehehelly button! Hahahahahaha! Pleeehehehease!”

“One comment, one tummy tickle, one belly button, and,” he paused momentarily to kiss her forehead. “And, one very happy girl.”

She beamed.

“Now how about these ribs, hmm? I suppose I could just tickle you there once but I think I’ll tickle you for as many ribs as you have, to make up for those self-deprecating thoughts I’m sure you had.”

“Tickles, tickles, tickles!” Dark Shadow said.

Uraraka snickered at the silly faces the entity was making to get her to laugh.

Meanwhile Tokoyami played her ribs like a keyboard and lost count a dozen times over. “One….two…three…darling stop laughing, you’re making me lose count!”

“I cahahahahahahan’t! Ahahahahahahaha!”

“Then I guess I’ll have to start over!”

“Noooohohohohoho!”

Tokoyami finished her ribs by giving her tummy a ticklish kiss.

“Eeeeep! Kehehehehe!”

“About those feet of yours,” he said, nodding at Dark Shadow who moved and held her ankles together instead.

Much to her surprise, Tokoyami didn’t start tickling her right away. He got up and reached for something underneath his bed. A shoebox. He opened it, revealing a pair that was a brand new version of her favorite pink sneakers.

“My Light, you didn’t!” she gasped, sitting up.

Tokoyami blushed, his feathers puffing out a bit at the ironic but very much loved nickname. “I did,” he said, straightening up. “And I won’t hear any complaints about it.”

Uraraka blinked back tears of joy. “Oh,” she said, sniffling. “You won’t!”

Tokoyami smiled and rushed over to hug her, laughing with her when they both fell down on the bed. They cuddled for a little while, then —

“You’re not gonna still tickle my feet, are you?”

“You know I have to.”

“But it’ll tickle so baaaad!”

“That’s rather the point, darling.”

“Ahahahahahaaaa! Nahahahahaa!”

“Your feet are perfectly normal, the only abnormal thing about them is how unbearably ticklish they are.”

“Stahahahahahap ihihihit!”

“Stop what? Stop teasing? Because I know you don’t mean stop tickling you,” Tokoyami teased as he scribbled her arches and the balls of her feet. “Oh, look! Five bad comments about yourself, five toes to tickle! How perfect!”

“Gehehehehehehe!”

“One…you are magnificent and the prettiest thing I’ve laid eyes on.”

“Ahahahahahahaaa!”

“Two…your cheeks are adorable, and the perfect size for your face shape.”

“Eeeek! Hehehehehehe!”

“Three…you need that “pudge” to protect your internal organs. I think it’s perfect. Besides, if I wanted to date a skeleton I’d go to a graveyard.”

“PFFFT! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Oh, thought that was a good one did you? Hahahaha!”

“Four…what matters is who you are, not the state of your room. And neither one is anything to be embarrassed or ashamed of.”

“Hahahahahahaha! Okahahahay! Okahahahay stahahahap!” she giggled, though it was clear she didn’t mean it.

“Not yet,” he said. “I’ve still got one more toe to do. And then the whole other foot! Hahaha! The look on your face! I’m only kidding. I’ll be nice and just give it a quick tickle. Now where were we? Oh yes, five…your feet are the perfect size for what you need and absolutely beautiful, and wildly fun to tickle. The perfect size for me too. I don’t have to work very hard to get you giggling. Tickle, tickle, tickle!” he teased, quickly scribbling her other foot. “See what I mean?”

Uraraka laughed and squealed happily, feeling extremely happy and loved as her boyfriend countered the lies she’d told herself, even if she was getting tickled. Which she honestly enjoyed. Dark Shadow tickled her some too but went back into Tokoyami after he finished with the tickling of her feet.

Then, he tickled her worst spot as the second to last grand finale. Her armpits.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHA! FUMIKAGE NOHOHOHO! NAHAHAHAHAT AHAHAHA THEHEHERE! AHAHAHAHAHA!”

Uraraka laughed so hard she began to snort, making Tokoyami laugh so much at both the silliness of the situation and adorableness of his girlfriend that he was unable to keep tickling her there.

He stopped after that and gave her a small break and cuddled with her, making sure she was alright and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

“You are just too cute.”

“I love you, you know.”

“My precious Songbird.”

She hummed happily and snuggled into him, then giggled when he began to kiss her neck over and over.

“Last spot,” he explained, then giggled when she kissed him back and tickled under his chin, making him chirp quietly.

Eventually the two calmed down and just lay there, enjoying holding each other. They stayed like that for a good ten minutes, when suddenly Tokoyami’s phone buzzed. “Come on,” he said. “I have something to show you.”

Uraraka got up and followed him back to her room.

He opened the door to reveal that the entire class had decorated her room ceiling to floor and wall to wall with her favorite colors, posters of her favorite music artists and movie stars, along with some cute furniture, curtains, a carpet, and loads of stuffed animals on her bed.

“SURPRISE!” they yelled.

“You’re the sweetest, Uraraka! So we wanted to give you a room that’s just as sweet as you!”

And for the second time that day, Uraraka’s eyes filled with happy tears.

Found this again and this time decided to reblog it.

Why?

Cause I love this drawing, I love this rare pair, and because I can, dammit.

tokoyami + dark shadow jumpscare - lil bit from something im working on :)

🍎Apple Buddies🍎

One of Horikoshi’s biggest missed opportunities is allowing us to get a small glimpse of just how Dark Shadow thinks of everyone! It’s a SENTIENT quirk that has its own personality and feelings that aren’t necessarily parallel to Tokoyami! Seeing through it’s eyes and hearing its own thoughts could have been SO interesting! And seeing more friendship moments between a living quirk and the boy that is so fascinated with quirks! Bah! So much missed potential!

Despite doing much of the head-on fighting, Dark Shadow is so gentle with Midoriya. Even the new Ragnarok: Womb move looks like Dark Shadow is trying to hold Deku in a safe cocoon to protect him from all harm.

And then I remember that they have a long history together through the Sport Festival and the Forest Arc and Dark Shadow is very fond of Deku on its own right.

Another my hero art! This time it’s ya boy Tokoyami 🖤

Float Buddies

Tokoyami now knows how to float so he can keep Uraraka company :3 dark shadow can’t complain. Tried using a different blush this time and it was refreshing but haha idk if i’ll keep using it, we’ll see!

[ID: digital fanart, Tokoyami standing in profile and holding a silver keyblade (crescent-shaped "teeth," red moon gem near the hilt). Dark Shadow emerging behind his head and shoulders, arm like a partly furled wing. Tokoyami dressed in an overlarge short-sleeved hoodie and capris, both black, with white tennis shoes. The hoodie billows forward from implied wind. He glances sidelong at the viewer. /End]

Tokoyami Fumikage in the style of Tetsuya Nomura (Kingdom Hearts), because reasons.

The keyblade's name is Tsukuyomi.

Hot damn!! Was NOT expecting this much! And I love it all!

Now I wish we saw Uraraka and Tokoyami training exactly like how you mentioned it, with him fighting her duel wielding swords and Ochako dodging and learning how to fight and handle weapons, and in turn if she does disarm him, she can help teach him how to protect himself with martial arts like she does with Gunhead Martial Arts.

And you have NO idea how happy to find someone else that hcs Uraraka and Dark Shadow enjoying space!😭 And the flying in the night sky together and her giving DS headpats…

This was a wonderful thing to wake up to this morning! Thank you!

@khonaker asked for ochako and the birds 🪐🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Since the sports festival Uraraka and tokoyami have been fairly close. Uraraka has a surprising “dark side” when it comes to her determination. I think they are a great trio with toko and DS being in all black and ochako in all pink haha.

You don’t want to see what happens when tokoyami and ochako butt heads. They are both highly competitive and anything from a card game to training can get extremely heated. They also train well together because tokoyami likes to use knives and swords and Uraraka can focus on disarming him. Due to that competitiveness they end up on the floor in a cat fight by the end though. Uraraka is more chatty and will talk about anything and tokoyami is good at listening like always. She does think his way of talking is creepy yet cool?? She thinks he’s a totally lame Chuunibyou but that’s exactly what makes him so endearing. She’s friends with deku and iida so obviously she has a habit of befriending the loser nerds. I’ve seen some people think she likes screamer/rock/metal music and I like that especially for her training music so they jam out together. Weirdly enough I also think Tokoyami’s family has had financial issues in the past so they can relate over frugal spending. (His problems arnt nearly as bad as ochako living in poverty her whole life don’t worry).

Dark shadow is always on their best behavior for the girls so of course Shadow and Ura are going to get along. They love getting attention and pets from her because she’s so nice! Unless they have done something naughty like stolen her food…then it’s like a demon has been unleashed. Ochakos rage is enough to cow even Dark Shadows fearless spirit, she’ll have them apologizing within minutes after a verbal thrashing. There are no hard feeling though~ Really, their biggest bonding point is a love of space!!!(This is my favorite hc for them!) They watch documentaries, find recent astronomical events online, and look at the stars at night. Dark Shadow has a small portable telescope that they show her how to use (she’s too poor to have ever gotten one) and they love going to observatories and just talking about space stuff they learned. I think they could fly together at night to go up and see the stars, dark shadow would nag her to bring a jacket. Uraraka likes talking with shadow even if she is confused about their independence, she just kinda gets used to it and forgets they aren’t a person. She is very caring and sweet to them. They are just so cute!!
