[ID: A Transparent Manga Panel From My Hero Academia With The Lineart Edited To Be A-spec Flags. The

monodeku au where izuku plays this one dating sim visual novel game and one of the characters is monoma.

and i mean that literally. like monoma got trapped in this game somehow.

when monoma starts talking to izuku, izuku thinks "oh this must be a 4th wall break horror type thing" but when he posted about it or something people thought that monoma was a fan character he made (since he like, isnt in the game game, just trapped in izukus)

au where Monoma and Midoriya become streamers/YouTubers, but none of their fans know that they're dating. So like picture their fan's surprise when they see Midoriya walk past Monoma's camera in his underwear.

I'm literally obsessed when characters are friends. (Mina

Save me Romance Dawn Trio Cowboy... save me... 🍊👒⚔️

Monodeku au where they go to a school that specializes in different types of art and Midoriya is a drawing/painting student and monoma is a dancer. Midoriya often sketches all of the dancers when he sees monoma and is like “Woah.” from that day forward all he does is sketch monoma. It gets so bad that he finds himself just absentmindedly drawing monoma. At one point he had painted monoma for a project in class and Ochaco goes “Doesn’t that kinda look like that one dancer kid?” and Midoriya is all like “WHAT EVER COULD YOU BE TALKING ABOUT HA HA HA” and then Ochaco just. Knows. 

She makes fun of him for the rest of the school year. Theenn when the drawing/painting kids have their art show, monoma drops by and is like “Woah this painting kinda looks like me…wait a minute…a lot of this art kinda looks like me…” and then he looks at who the art was by and is like “who tf is midoriya?” anddd then monoma slams the door of the art room open during class and is like “which one of you is midoriya” and ochaco is like “omg its pretty dancer boy” and smacks midoriyas shoulder while the rest of the class is pointing at him. Monoma is like “come, we have to talk” and so midoriya scampers after him. Monoma is like “why are you painting and drawing me?” and midoriya comes up with some shit explanation like “well you have the most angular shoulders of all of the dance kids and I like to draw that and stuff so…yeah…” and during that explanation monoma is like “hes kinda cute…” and so they have this wholllle issue of having huge crushes on each other. 

THEN kendo comes up to ochaco and is like “I know you dont know me but we have to do something. Im tired of him swooning over midoriya at our lunch table.” and ochaco is like “WE SHOULD GET THEM TO ASK EACH OTHER OUT” and kendo is like “obvi but how”  and then they get up to silly little hijinks trying to get the monoma and midoriya to go out UNTIL one day midoriya just impulsively decides “im gonna do it today” and he DOES and monoma says YES.

mina ashido being the aroace of all time <3 I like to think she flirts a lot because she finds it fun but an actual relationship to her (with acceptions bc shes aroflux) is just an advanced stage of friendship

she goes "flirting is the best parttt, the chase is so much fun!" and no one else gets it but her

Monodeku villain au but it's monoma as a villain who's actually just a guy who happens to be friends with a bunch of bad people

Like monoma actually hasn't partaken in anything he is just nearby and hangs out with villains (yeah that's illegal whatevez)

But because midoriya is a hero student they run into each other a lot.

I see this au taking place like 2nd or 3rd year so midoriya has his hero license and can like do stuff without needed a teacher nearby

So he goes on patrol and monomas villain friends are like "oh my GOD there's hero boy you're in love with" and monoma freaks out and is like "I'm not IN LOVE with him...does my hair look okay?"

And one day midoriya is busting a drug deal of some of monomas friends and he's trying (and failing) to casually lean on the wall and is like "sup hot stuff...come here often?" And midoriya is like "what the fuck"

He then detains monoma but monoma is set free later cause like he really didn't do anythingggg

And midoriya sees monoma again and is like "dude??"

Midoriya goes to Twitter to vent about his strange reoccurring non-villain villain and it becomes a thing that people are SOOO supportive of monoma and his now very obvious flirting with midoriya

Because everytime they see each other monoma says some shitty pickup line or tries to hit on midoriya and midoriya goes home to tweet about it because he's oblivious

UNTILL ochaco is like "midoriya. Hes flirting" and midoriya is like "OH MY GOD."

And then he begins to flirt back but nothing really happens untilll monoma actually ends up carrying drugs for a friend and midoriya detains him again and is like "we have to stop meeting like this" and gives monoma a paper with his number a place and date on it

BAM they're dating

He’s one of them now 🦭

midoriya analysis because im fucking insane and hes insane

Midoriya analysis because I'm fucking insane and he's insane

Ps i won't be covering the movies bc I like to leave them as their own entities 

pps this contains spoilers

god okay so we all know that Midoriya has SOME kinda issue because... yk.... he was literally bullied and abused by his peers physically, emotionally, and mentally for all of his formative years and that's gonna FUCK SOMEONE UPPPP

but but but Midoriya so so obvi has a thing for escapism!!!! yeah, his quirk thing started before he was diagnosed as quirkless and then abused, but did you see how intense it got after he was abused??? how that was literally all he spent his time doing and how it was the only thing he was known for?? AND THEN. HE MEETS HIS IDOL WHO CRUSHES HIS LAST HOPE. and then said idol proceeds to try and build up an already destroyed boy (it doesn't work) because THEN we see even more escapism in UA because they make it so clear Midoriya spends so much time training and pushing himself to be a better hero because it's the only way he knows how to be useful and escape away from his reality of believing that's he's really not worth all that he's been given. Btw pls dont say that “midoriya is just ideally heroic he doesn't have a hero complex” this is an analysis for my opinion ty 

Midoriya can be viewed as a narcissist for many reasons as well but that is because he's a product of his environment. Honestly there's ways to show midoriya has a hero complex, is a narcissist, has self esteem issues, has a superiority complex, and more. Im slapping midoriya and going “This bad boy can fit sooo many issues it him” 

Another btw before you continue reading: I have really bad adhd and halfway through this forgot what I was writing about so my points get super blurry but I just wanted to state it here. I believe midoriya has severe self esteem issues and a hero complex. I can explain why concisely if anyone asks! 

Going by arcs now because I need some order to follow and regretfully can't just throw my thoughts about Midoriya at a wall and hope they stick (I will happily just spout nonsense at anyone who wants to listen): 

Pre ua-

Most of this I already covered in the above paragraph but I still wanna break down why Midoriya's childhood set him up for a hero complex and a love of escapism. As mentioned before, Midoriya has always had a love for analysis and heroes but it got much more intense after he experienced large bouts of trauma. You can see him isolating himself and getting completely absorbed into his analysis in multiple parts of the pre-UA sections of bnha. His hero complex stems from the fact that there genuinely was no one to save Midoriya. Because he knows what it's like to be alone without help, he takes it upon himself to save people (he basically says this himself too like my god this boy's hero complex is so so clear). Not to mention the fact that his abuser has been called a hero throughout his formative years. like….god….

All might training- 

And THEN all might destroys his dream by telling him he can't be a hero then LEAVES. Midoriya has not had a single good personal hero at this point. Like even his own mother doesn’t save him from this blatantly obvious abuse. So midoriya is just like. Left there to evaluate everything being broken in his life when he falls back on his escapism aka he walks to the scene of a hero feet because “[his] feet carried him [there]” ARE YOU KIDDING ME. he is literally doing something that brings him joy on autopilot. As a response to being told he can't do his life long goal by his idol. Following that he sees bakugou in pain and trouble and this is like right when the hero complex forms. The entire ‘feet moved before you can think’ IS NOT A GOOD THING!!!! He has NO self-preservation in this moment. AND THE ALL MIGHT PRAISES HIM FOR IT. literally cementing his hero complex as a ‘positive’ thing and not at all the self destructive thing it actually is. 

Following this all might tells midoriya he has to be the next symbol and that he has to be the one to make everyone feel safe. That is NOT a healthy mindset for a child to be in. Here Midoriya is told that he needs to protect everyone and this is where he starts to feel the need to be the one to fix everything, this is where he feels that everything is his fault. 

Usj-

Bro just got put into a hugely traumatic situation and did you see how he literally like blacked out when he went to protect Tsuyu? I’d also like to point out that at this point he's been told by all might that his lack of self preservation is a heroic quality. PLus plus plus being put into a situation like this would hurt your brain function so immensely, the adrenaline rush he must be having at this moment. 

Sports festival- 

Todoroki. Just the entirety of the todoroki thing. Someones gonna go “he was just doing the heroic thing, that makes him hero quality!!” BUT!!! I GUARENTEEEE MIdoriya saw some of himself in Todoroki then. Like, todorokis situation is ‘boy whos in bad situation with no one coming to save him because no one would believe him/step up against the number ½ hero’ and midoriya's situation as a kid was ‘boy whos in a bad situation and no one is coming to save him because no one would believe him and no one wants to help the quirkless kid’. So midoriya obviously took it upon himself to be the one to save todoroki and at this point he's had all mights words drained into him so he probably has taken it upon himself to save everyone in similar situations.

Hero killer- 

Speaking of people in similar situations: Iida! Sooo you're probably going “ghost. Iidas situation is NOTHING like midoriyas” and to that i say LET ME EXPLAINNNN because at this point iida has seen so many people be killed by stain that he more than likely believes no one can stop him but iida himself. This situation is ‘things are happening and no one is actively trying to stop it in the way I should, no one is coming to save this situation.’ so iida takes it upon himself and Midoriya sees this and recognizes it because of his own situation. 

Final exams- 

Bakugou. I have thoughts about this arc. Midoriya has no self preservation here at all. I could quite honestly say I believe midoriya is in some way suicidal. There is no ounce of non hero complex actions here. Midoriya takes it upon himself to save bakugou from failing the entire final exam even if bakugou doesn’t want that. And the their fight afterwards??? Where midoriya is like “youre all I look up to [bakugou]” (side note i hate calling him kacchan)???? WHERE IS YOUR SELF RESPECT MIDORIYA!!! BAKUGOU BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU VERBALLY AND PHYSICALLY FOR YEARS!!!!!! 

Hassaikai and Paranormal liberation-- 

Combining these because during both arcs midoriya shows absolutely ZEROOO self esteem and self preservation. These two arcs are combined because therye basically him on the brink of absolutely losing his shit and fully leaning into the hero complex.

Dark hero (so important r you kidding)-

R you serious rn..this is literally him going ‘no one else is fixing it so I WILL. in a dangerous way this IS the hero complex arc 

But it's also the most self centered arc midoriya has had. His entire childhood has taught him to rely on himself and only himself so it's a given that he would only think about himself when anything happens that he needs to take care of as he's the only one who's ever shown to care about himself and others for a large portion of his life. Midoriya is such a complex character but you genuinely can only tell if you look deeper than what bnha has on the surface of it which makes me sad. I’m not here to diss horis writing and world building skills-he's much better at it than me- I just wish he would go deeper into his characters issues than having them fixed in short spurts (momo)
