Tokoyami: I am the epitome of darkness. I know nothing of light nor care to learn of its cruel and blinding nature. It’s in the abyss I find my comfort when I’m surrounded by nothing but my thoughts. My soul is non-existent, all that’s there is an endless void-

McDonald’s cashier: Sir, there is a line of people behind you, so please just tell me your order.

Tokoyami:

Tokoyami: I’ll take a 20 piece mcnugget meal please.

Dark Shadow: Ooh! Can I get some fries too?

Tokoyami: Of course. Can I also get four large fries in addition to the medium fries that come with my meal. And a root beer, too. I’d also like a coffee. Make it like my soul.

McDonald’s cashier: I thought... I thought you said you didn’t have a soul...?

Tokoyami: Exactly. Make it a tea, instead.

Mans an actual bird

Tokoyami was born a WHAT

The way Hawks looks at Tokoyami reminds me of just how fond he is of the 1-A student. To me it shows that he didn't expect help from anyone, and that when Tokoyami comes in with Jirou to save him, again, Hawks realizes just how much Tokoyami cares for him, and is willing to risk is own life for his mentor'a life. He admits to not having the raw power Endeavor has, but he knows that Hawks knows that he has the ability to keep up and have better coordinated attacks. Why? Because Hawks doesn't have to worry about getting burned by Endeavor if they were to mess up, and because Hawks knows what Tokoyami is capable of. Hawks never wanted to become a teacher or train the heros of the future, but he was willing to show Tokoyami how versatile his quirk really is. Thus another reason he was willing to continue his studies and work with Hawks even after his first interactions with Hawks was nothing more than giving him intel.

Hawks admits to hardening his heart and the will of forgetting any relations he has had in the past, to continue moving forward and creating a better future. Though I don't think he could ever shove Tokoyami away, after everything they have been through, Tokoyami never gave up on Hawks. Even when he admitted to killing Twice, Tokoyami is still willing to fight along side Hawks and defeat the evil that corrupts the world.

Also here is colored version. I absolutely love their dynamic of student/mentor.

SHOUTO TODOROKI HEADCANON

In which the reader platonically holds Shouto’s hand

pairing: Shouto x gender neutral! reader

genre:fluff!

warnings:non

———————————————————————

ok so basically y/n is like different than Shouto in EVERY. POSSIBLE. ASPECT.

they’re open,flirtatious,empathetic and carefree ,,,and Shouto is obviously very different lol.

so of course it was strange that shouto and you became such good friends

truth is,it was a relief when you hung out,he didn’t care about his hero duties or Endeavour troubles.

you are probably the only person who can make him fluster ,,,well not fluster per se,more like get a reaction out of him.

and one day during an exercise where all you had to do was wait and y/n was like “hey shouto can i pls hold your hand?”

my boy was like “???” physically confused but obliged nonetheless. even though the reader was like “its okay if you dont want to,this doesnt mean anything its just-“

you held hands and at first he didn’t quite care but later, since it grew into a habit,he’d simply imply he wants to hold your hand

Of course he would never say it,it feels unnatural considering his background but hes ,,,touch starved.

and since it became a routine the others grew accustomed to it as well (except Bakugo who would be like “OY did I miss something???”)

and Sho would glare at him,obviously.

but on the inside,he felt ecstatic because all he ever needed was a friend,will it grow into something more?

he wasn’t sure.

MASTERLIST

Anyway I'm done catching up with My Hero Academia, here are my 2 cents:

Heroes shouldn't have families.

In my personal opinion, Tokoyami deserves more spotlight and development.

And I'm not just saying that because he's my favorite but he's the character who has been most alluded to as a crucial, interesting, or strong character.

Examples:

-To start, he's got a bird head and that apparently has nothing to do with his actual quirk. We don't see canonical examples of him exhibiting avian behaviors even though the fandom Really Wants It, so he's not like the characters whose quirk is "frog" or "rabbit". It doesn't seem to affect his entire body, just his head that is so strange. I want to know what his family looks like, if they're like the Todorokis and the Asuis and they all have varying degrees of bird.

-His actual quirk is Dark Shadow, which is unlike the other quirks seen in the series. He has a sentient being living inside him that can communicate and has feelings and he can Sometimes control it but can lose control of it. Not to mention it was suggested that Dark Shadow gets more ravenous when Tokoyami has negative emotions of some sort. He doesn't seem to actively 100% control Dark Shadow and asks Dark Shadow when he needs to engage in some kind of combat or attack. There is no indication of where it came from in terms of familial lineage.

-He is consistently noted as a very strong character, within the ranks of Midoriya, Bakugou, and Todoroki. He did very well in the entrance exam and the sports festival. No one ever escaped Fatgum's fat until Tokoyami did.

-On that note, Tokoyami had an Entire Thing about going to rescue Hawks because he cares so much about his master. He was crying over Hawks and yet he doesn't show up again until several chapters later. Why.

-Both Tokoyami and Bakugou were captured by the League of Villains because they had something of interest to them, but Tokoyami was freed.

-Almost everything about Tokoyami would give off the impression of someone who's malicious and evil. Very dark, avidly enjoys dark things, has a Shadow Monster living inside him and stronger in the dark. But he's fundamentally good at his core, not wanting to harm others.

-Also the fact he likes goth things and dark things but he can't really be in absolute darkness because of Dark Shadow. That's so ironic. He can't go out in daylight because Dark Shadow is weaker but he can't really go out in darkness either because Dark Shadow can Wreck Havoc.

-There are examples that suggest that Tokoyami and Dark Shadow know more than they may seem to lead on.

Tokoyami just has so much potential to be a critical character why haven't they done anything with him yet.
