When A Character Is Narratively Doomed To Incompletion By No Fault Of Their Own But Simply By Being In

When a character is narratively doomed to incompletion by no fault of their own but simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time

All for One named himself All for One so I choose to believe there was some sort of Francophilia there. Or just Big Into Dumas. Which is also good. Dumas was a Bonapartist but also in general that era of France had some big good ostentatious thrones so maybe Yoichi said "brother I see you and I will crib your shit"

A question for you avid mha watchers

A friend and I were talking and came across something

The OFA Thrones.

WHY ARE THEY SO BIG??

I’d love to hear your theories as to why this is.

My theory, is that this is inside Yoichi’s head, and therefore created by Yoichi. And he’s so homeless, he forgot what chairs looked like.

or perhaps it’s something he saw from the comic book, Captain Hero??

this case must be solved, leave theories and evidence in comments.

thank you for your time.

Y'know the AFO backstory is so funny to me because I have a sick sense of humor yes but also because like mythologically there's a lot of myth about parents eating their children but not so many (to my knowledge lol please correct AND DIRECT me if I'm wrong I wanna read) about children eating their parents. Matriphagy is a trait that is observed in arachnids which I think is fun, All for One has a really large web he's weaved over the years so there's that kind of nice aspect to it but I kind of love that it's also this grotesque thing that isn't done in these grand stories. Like yes cannibalism in and of itself is this great taboo that's happened almost everywhere culturally but a child eating their parent is an interesting subversion of parents eating their children and receiving these grand punishments from destiny as a result.

Destiny looked at AfO and went "dawg what the fuck"

Thinkin about Hawks man he should b in the club

Sir Nighteye origins

There's like frightening little about Sir and I just kind of can't kill the plot bunny in my head of a young Nighteye having been rejected from all sorts of hero schools and agencies just because like a foresight quirk that isn't super specific probably isn't seen as particularly useful at first or versatile and a school like UA would absolutely not accept a student with that kind of non-physical quirk. I don't think Nighteye went to UA as a hero student if at all.

But like the other detail is that Nighteye kept asking and asking All Might to be a sidekick and like I really REALLY can't kill the idea of a young Nighteye not within the heroics industry accidentally stumbling into All for One's web of secrets and lies and uncovering this pattern of quirks vanishing and quirkiness people going missing and turning up dead and with quirks and this one mysterious string of heroes that rose at similar times as the prominence of those incidents and the connections between them all and then trying SO FUCKING HARD to get All Might to know that he knew and All Might just not fucking getting that this random fucko who keeps showing up and asking to help him is smarter than he thought.

Anyway my point is that I'm writing this fic IMMEDIATELY because I need this in my life. And Sir Nighteye will be trans because I want him to be.

All for One and One for All

Ngl the day I found out that Horikoshi named his central villain All for One not even knowing where it came from is the day I gave up on everything because like come the fuck on let All for One be a big French lit nerd I want him in period garb I want him putting on a fake French accent I need him to have a weird collection of shit he stole acquired from the period.

I swear this is not just because I’m a big French lit nerd I just also will never get not googling the phrases you want to name your stuff after like imagine if you reference something you completely didn’t want to associate with. Why would you reference something you have no connection to? What’s the point?!
