I've already talked about how I have a lot of issues with Momos' quirk but todays rant is about her hero costume (which I talked a little bit about in the first rant which wasn't actually labeled a rant)!
As we all know, Momo has one of the worst hero costumes, both in functionality and in appearance. I wanna start with appearance since it will be the shorter of the two topics :)
Her hero costume is ugly. Plain and simple as that statement is, its true. The belt is by far my least favorite part. It has no functionality and just looks clunky and gross in contrast to the body suit. The colors of her hero costume bug me as well but not as much as a lot of the other ones. I really like the design she has on the body suit portion but that's about the only thing positive about the way it looks.
Onto functionality!!
I've discussed how I think Momos' quirk actually works-which would open up a whole world of costumes for her-but this section will be sticking with the canon explanation. For starters, the fact that she is missing the entire middle section is dangerous for so many reasons. So many important organs are exposed like that and it leaves her vulnerable.
The self on the back of her belt serves no purpose?? its supposed to be their to hold a book that contains the chemical composition of things but how is the book going to stay on the shelf when there is no way to hold it in place?? She has no pockets??? for what?? It would make so much sense if she had pockets to store snacks to help with her quirk but she just doesn't?? AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE HEELS?? WHAT IS WITH ALL THE GIRLS HAVING HEELS?? IS STEALTH NOT IMPORTANT TO HEROICS??
An extra section: The changes that I would make because I think about this a lot.
For starters, I would change the fabric all together. There is a fabric out there (that I sadly forgot the name of) that is a tightly knit mesh. When something punctures it, it makes space for that object and then when the object it removed it closes the space. This is the fabric I would make her hero costume out of because she could just make things and the fabric would create the space for her to produce it.
I would give her pockets!! As I mentioned before its ridiculous that she doesn't have pockets. I think she deserves them :)
If she really wanted a hole in her hero costume I would move it to her back. There is more space there and she wouldn't have to wear something so revealing.
GET RID OF THE SWIMSUIT-ESK BODYSUIT AND GIVE HER SOME SHORTS!! Plus revamp her belt and give that pockets as well as making it less clunky. Plus she could probably fit a much smaller version of that big ass book in one of the pouches a belt would bring.
Aaaaaand finally! I'd remove the dumb heels on her boots.
TLDR: Momo has such a bad hero costume and there are tones of improvements that could be made.
I love older todoroki with long hair it's one of my fav hcs
THE ECONOMY??? WHAT??? Yes, yes, I can hear you now "but Ghost!! Why are you so distressed about the economy of a fictional world?” To that, my dear reader, I say, I don't know. I had this thought at like 2am last night. It’s all I've thought about for the past few days, so here it is! Basically, if heroes are paid by the government and the government receives that money to pay them back from tax payers. That seems normal right? That’s how schools are funded. But if heroes have to pay for the damage the cause (as shown by mt. lady) and get paid based on how they perform, then what if they just didn't pay for the damages, causing the taxes to go up?
Also, if they performed well but caused a lot of damage (endeavor), wouldn't the taxes in the areas those hero patrol in/mainly work be extremely high? Wouldn't that make people move out? Causing at lot of the other things that are paid for by tax payers to go without pay, making the areas property value go down and basically become deserted?
As a final message: Heroes are unethical (among other things). This rant is just one of my many reasonings for "the bnha government (derogatory)
The infamous: Midnights hero costume !
I would hope that we can all come to an agreeance that her hero costume is the worst, even surpassing my hatred of All might's. I adore midnight as a hero but that isn't stopping me from thinking that her hero costume is shit.
For starters there is absolutely no support anywhere on her costume, both support items (there will be a separate rant about a support item for her!) and support for her tits. Like guys,,, she's gonna have such bad back pain. On the note of physical issues as well, what are those handcuffs? They are pointless and have to distracting in battle. The fact that she can fight with those AND in heels amazes me. The handcuffs don't even have a chain connecting them so they can't even be used to apprehend anyone. If anything she should have one pair of handcuffs (like actual functioning handcuffs) on just one of her wrists.
Also, her hero costumes color scheme is bad :( Its not cohesive at all. I think its the yellow or the red that really throws it off. In my opinion If you replaced either all the yellow with red or vise versa it would look better. The thigh-highs that she has on also bug me because they are like a completely different color from everything else.
TLDR: midnight has by far the worst hero costume, from the lack of support both physically and quirk based, the horrible color scheme and unnecessary elements.
(her boots are kinda ugly too :/ thats really just a personal opinion tho)
Zoro: Your bone eating technique is subpar 🙄
Nami: NO! NEWSFLASH!! YOU'RE JUST FREAKS!!
theyre so hello kitty and dear daniel nobody gets me noone understands
Back to another costume-and all around hero course student-that I love! Tsuyu Asui, Tsu, Froppy, etc. I think she has immense potential as a hero and that her hero costume is one, if not the best, of the girls hero costumes (In 1-A that is)!
For starters, the color scheme of the entire costume is so nice and cohesive,,,it all just works so well together. PLUS!! Her costume makes so much sense when you take her quirk and what kind of hero she is going to be into account. Its a bodysuit with a piece that covers her face, like scuba gear. She has a frog based quirk so it only makes sense she would wanna be a hero who works in the water!
top of all of that, her potential as a hero just in general? She has one of the most versatile quirks in 1-A that has little to no risk of causing unwanted damage to the property in the area and other people. She will probably have one of the lowest property damage rates and causality rates.
PLUS HER POTENTIAL FOR HERO MERCH??? THE GAYS AND FROG LOVERS WILL EAT HER MERCH UP. I know for a fact I would by a Froppy umbrella. With a name like 'The rainy season hero: Froppy' she could make so much merch for when it rains but its not even just limited to that, the Froppy figures would be so cool because of her mobility.
She genuinely has the best potential to become one of the top pro heroes and I hope she goes so far. SHES EVEN CANONICALLY DESCRIBED AS HAVING NO WEAKNESSES <33
TLDR: Tsu has one of the best hero costumes and has some of the best potential as a hero and for hero merch
Just look at how nice it is <3
How did you get into Monodeku? Like, how'd you discover the ship? For me it was the fic better luck next time.
Better luck next time is SO GOOD UGH I think I've been through the entire midoriya/monoma and midoriya&monoma AO3 tags like 200 times
But!! I got into into monodeku through lovespelts (on Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr) art<3
They only have one (that I know of) piece of art of them but I saw it inn 2021 and I fell in LOVEE with them!!
If I remember right though allll the way back in like 2018 I saw monoma as a part of a random dekubowl post and I was like "huh they're kinda cute I guess" that was my first exposure to them!
Tysm for the ask<33 I love getting them so much
Monodeku idol au where monoma is a popular idol and midoriya is a loser fanboy but one day monoma stops by the library midoriya works at (in disguise) and relentlessly flirts with him
MONOMA PREFORMING AND JUST HE HEARS A REALLY LOUD SCREAMING ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE LOOKS OUT AND SEES. SOME GREEN HAIRED FREAK ABSOLUTELY DECKED OUT IN HIS MERCH. but for a split second he's like. "hey this guy is kinda cute...just a bit..."
And then like two days later he's walking into the library cause bro likes to read and he sees some really attractive and buff guy with green hair who then turns around and he's like "OH MY GOD. THAT'S THE GUY FROM MY CONCERT."
But because monoma is a loser boy himself he keeps his disguise on and slides up to midoriya with his library card and goes "heyyy hot stuff come here often" and midoriya is like "yeah dude I work here" and for a few minutes monoma just sucksss at flirting and then he gets the hang of it and absolutely flusters the ever loving fuck out of midoriya
And then at monomas next concert midoriya has back stage tickets to meet monoma and during this meeting monoma flirts with him again but midoriya just assumes monoma does this for all his fans
And so monoma is like "listen. I'm not supposed to do this. But here's my number" and midoriya is like "I COULDN'T POSSIBLY TAKE THIS I RESPECT YOU TOO MUCH" and mentally monoma is like 'oh my gooood cute library guy for the love of god.'
Theennn back at the library, that monoma has begun frequenting, monoma slides midoriya his number and is like "you're VERY attarcive." And midoriya blushes while taking the paper and babbling.
I imagine one day midoriya invites monoma over to his house, still unaware of who he is, and inside his home is so much fucking idol monoma shit
Monoma is like "damn you really like this guy huh" and midoriya is like "yeaahh he's so dreamy sighhhhh"
Reveal probs goes like this
Monoma: baby, you know that idol you're supeeerrr into?
Midoriya: yeah?
Monoma: that's ME
Midoriya: WHAT. HUH. OH MY GOD IM SO EMBARRASSED YOUVE SEEN MY HOUSE
Monoma: yeah I have :)<3 you're cute I like you you should officially go out with me
Midoriya: AAAAAA OKAY
